A
C
Sir
Mr
chair
and
the
board
has
been
out
of
closed
session
pursuant
to
a
motion
made
by
Mr
Scott
seconded
by
supervisor,
Parker
and
unanimous
vote
to
come
out
of
closed
session,
whereas
the
Bedford
County
Board
of
Supervisors
has
convened
a
closed
meeting
pursuant
to
an
affirmative
reported
vote
and
in
accordance
with
the
provisions
of
the
Virginia
Freedom
of
Information
Act
and
we're
a
section.
2.2-3712
of
the
code
of
Virginia
requires
a
certification
by
the
Bedford
County
Board
of
Supervisors
that
such
closed
meeting
was
conducted
in
Conformity
with
Virginia
law.
C
Now,
therefore,
it
be
resolved
at
the
beverage
County
Board
of
Supervisors
does
hereby
certify
that,
to
the
best
of
each
member's
knowledge,
not
only
public
business
matters.
Lawfully
Exempted
from
open
meeting
requirements
by
Virginia
law
were
discussed
in
the
closed
meeting
to
which
the
certification
resolution
applies
and
under
such
public
business
matters
were
identified
in
the
motion.
Convenient
closed
meeting
was
heard,
discussed
or
considered
by
the
Bedford
County
Board
of
Supervisors
Mr
Johnson.
A
E
A
You
got
a
motion
by
Mrs
bansley.
Is
there
a
second
second
by
Ms
Parker,
all
in
favor
signifies
saying
aye
aye
all
opposed
motion
passes.
It
brings
us
to
our
citizen
comment
period.
You'll
have
three
minutes.
If
you
have
not
been
with
us
for
a
little
bit,
we've
got
a
clock
on
the
wall.
Now
that
will
begin
once
you
complete
your
name
and
your
address
or
or
voting
district.
A
If
you
have
addressed
us
on
another
Topic
in
the
last
90
days,
you
need
to
pick
something
else
to
talk
about
tonight.
If
we
have
a
public
hearing
scheduled
and
we
have
a
couple
this
evening-
there
will
be
time
there.
So
if,
if
you
have
anything
on
the
Virginia
Institute
of
autism,
the
valley
would
drive
Revenue
sharing
project
the
special
use
permit
for
James
Andrews.
A
H
H
H
H
In
short,
I,
say
30
seconds
left
here.
If
we
keep
giving
money
to
these
leftist
organizations,
it's
not
good
and
I
I
hate,
seeing
that
our
money
is
being
taken
from
us
by
force
and
has
given
to
organizations
like
this
so
I'll
pass
this
around.
They
did
take
it
off
their
website
after
I
contacted
councilman
missions
in
Lynchburg
and
a
couple
of
counselors
and
and
Appomattox
and
in
Campbell
County,
but
this
was
up
here
when
we
voted
to
give
this
organization
money.
H
I
A
J
Yes,
Mr
chair,
we
had
four
four
items
on
the
consent
agenda
this
evening
item
a
is
a
resolution
approving
a
five
thousand
dollar
transfer
from
the
contingency
fund
for
a
farmer's
market
funding.
That's
in
for
Moneta
farmers
market
in
Montvale,
Farmers,
Market,
Item
B
is
a
resolution
authorizing
the
re-advertisement
of
a
request
for
proposals
to
redevelop
the
former
body
Camp
Elementary
facility
item
C
is
a
resolution
adopting
the
updated
and
revised
Emergency
Operations
plan,
which
we
had
a
work
session
about
last
meeting
and
item.
K
J
Well,
the
the
the
forest
and
the
Bedford
already
received
twenty
five
hundred
dollars
each
for
five
thousand
total.
This
is
five
thousand
dollars
total,
so
it'll
be
twenty
five
hundred
dollars
to
the
Moneta
farmers
market
and
twenty
five
hundred
dollars
in
the
Montvale.
So
now
all
four
farmers
markets
will
receive
twenty
five
hundred
dollars.
G
J
A
G
A
A
K
A
K
A
Opposed
motion
passes.
It
moves
us
down
to
our
public
hearing
time
pretty
much
the
same
rules
during
the
public
hearing
as
it
is
for
citizen
comment
period
time.
You've
got
three
minutes,
speak
for
against
that,
and
the
first
one
up
that
we've
got
is
consideration
of
a
resolution
authorizing
tax-exempt
status
for
the
Virginia
Institute
of
autism,
which
is
resolution.
C
Thank
you,
Mr
chair
our
office
did
receive
a
request
from
the
Virginia
Institute
for
autism
for
tax-exempt
status
regarding
their
facility
at
1035,
Avalon
Drive
in
Forest.
The
property
is
roughly
1.8
million
dollars
recently
assessed
and
the
tax
revenue
received
off
of
that
is
about
70
76
700
dollars.
C
We
do
have
a
representative
from
The
Institute
here
who
can
perhaps
answer
more
detailed
questions.
Should
the
board
have
as
far
as
what
their
services
are
rendered
to
the
county
and
they
do
receive
some
funding
from
the
county
for
those
private
day
placements,
but
that's
kind
of
the
case
with
all
of
our
to
that
of
that
nature.
So
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
I'm
able
to
answer
from
the
board.
Otherwise
I
believe
they
would
be
like
to
like
to
be
heard.
Okay,.
L
C
There
was
a
bit
of
a
glitch
in
Gis
for
a
number
of
years
when
the
application
came
in.
It
was
in
Ellington
Farm
Drive
address,
but
it
is
correctly
and
it
was
advertised
in
the
newspaper
for
the
Avalon
Drive,
which
is
the
correct
address.
So
we
did
attempt
to
change
that
in
the
agenda
item
beforehand.
Apparently,
that
correction
did
not
get
saved
so.
M
Okay,
so
I'm
very
help
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
My
name
is
Damian
Martell
and
I
run
that
school
in
Forest
we
serve
children,
Age
2
to
22
on
both
the
most
severe
kinds
of
autism.
So
our
primary
mission
is
to
minimize
the
impact
of
their
disability
on
their
families
and
across
their
lifespan.
M
So
our
ideas
by
giving
them
intensive
therapeutic
evidence-based
services
from
an
early
age,
we
can
ultimately
save
costs
for
taxpayers
across
the
lifespan
by
doing
things
like
keeping
them
away
from
residential
facilities
or
institutions
of
that
nature,
by
targeting
their
education
and
plans
pretty
intensively
our
school
goals
year
round.
So
our
students
don't
take
a
break
for
the
summer
time
or
anything
like
that,
and
we
also
offer
an
adult
day
support
program.
So
after
students
graduate
many
of
them
then
participate
there,
which
is
a
way
for
them
to
also
access
their
public
Community.
M
It
wasn't
so
much
that
we
didn't
have
to
answer
the
question.
Is
we
had
been
informed
that
it
was
probably
the
last
of
less
of
a
factor,
because
we
are
a
non-profit,
we
weren't
the
answer
we
gave
I
think
when
we
submitted
the
paperwork
was
we
were
happy
to
provide
more
details,
but
we
were
still
awaiting
clarification.
I
can't
remember
the
name
of
the
person
who
kind
of
mentioned
to
us,
but
it
was
basically
said:
well,
you
guys
are
a
501c3,
so
you're
not
really
paying
big
people
big
salaries.
M
You
know
in
my
field,
for
example,
my
role
as
a
Behavioral
Analyst
and
as
a
director
I've
been
offered
different
jobs
for
a
lot
more
money
from
different
companies
in
the
area,
so
competitively,
we're
probably
a
little
bit
below
what
our
market
rate
would
be
for
our
salaries
and
folks.
Already.
The
staff
who
are
there,
including
myself,
are
very
much
are
based
on
the
mission
for
how
we
can
serve
our
students.
M
Y'all
we
currently
have
22
students
on
our
roster.
The
Department
of
Education
has
a
set
an
upper
limit
of
39,
for
how
many
can
occupy
the
space
based
on
its
actual
square
footage.
The
reason
why
we
have
that
discrepancy
is
actually
finding
staff
who
are
willing
to
do
the
work,
because
it's
a
pretty
intensive
long
day.
Many
of
our
students
as
I
say,
are
I'm
on
the
most
severe
end
of
the
spectrum,
so
they
need
help
in
the
bathroom.
M
We
spend
a
lot
of
time,
teaching,
communication
and
language
and
daily
living
skills,
sometimes
there's
a
lot
of
physical
aggression,
so
one
of
our
biggest
challenges
is
actually
finding
a
way
to
recruit
staff
who
are
willing
to
work
for
the
salaries
we're
able
to
pay
as
a
non-profit
in
order
to
meet
those
needs.
We
have
a
wait
list.
We
that
grows
pretty
regularly,
and
it's
mostly
due
to
how
well
we
are
able
to
do
the
work
as
well
as
the
ever
increasing
need
for
students
with
autism.
M
Currently
we
have
five,
we
have
a
number
of
Bedford
County
students
on
our
waitlist,
so
a
lot
of
that
we
serve
students
from
as
far
south
as
Halifax
to
Nelson
and
Bona
taught
over
to
Appomattox,
and
we
are
actually
starting
with
a
student
who
is
currently
residing
in
Pennsylvania
Connie.
Next
week
we
have
four
locations
across
the
state,
so
across
all
four
locations
we
serve
35
different
counties
from
the
state,
but
the
Lynchburg
location,
seven
or
eight.
B
M
M
M
Well,
it
all
depends
so
about
10
percent
of
our
Revenue
comes
from
donations
and
Grant
raising
and
funds
like
that.
There
are
also
very
few
families
are
able
to
afford
it
just
because
of
the
cost
because
of
the
Intensive
nature
of
what
we
do
with
our
students.
As
I
say,
they
have
a
very
significant
level
of
need,
they're
all
taught
one-on-one
and
every
one
of
them
is
learning
as
completely
different
set
of
skills
than
any
other
student.
Because
of
how
severe
their
needs
are,
so
that
intensive
one-on-one
has
to
be.
M
Yes,
and
no
so
one
of
a
few
of
the
things
are
about,
85
percent
of
our
operating
budget
goes
to
salaries,
so
so
much
of
what
it
costs
us
to
run.
Our
operation
actually
goes
right
back
at
the
door
to
staff,
from
salaries
to
insurance
and
things
like
that,
so
any
kind
of
other
operating
costs
or
whatever
left
over,
not
other
fifteen.
Twenty
percent
we've
always
run
into
limitations
with
the
organizations
we
have
paired
with.
M
So
when
we
first
opened
12
years
ago,
we
were
at
Timberlake
Christian
Church
off
of
460
across
from
the
7-Eleven,
and
that
day
was
me
and
two
staff
and
two
students,
and
we
were
just
at
a
small
church
basement.
We
would
have
to
pack
up
the
entire
school
on
Friday
night
and
then
unpack
it
out
of
the
closets
on
Monday
mornings.
From
there
we
moved
and
released
some
space
on
the
campus
at
humankind
in
Boonsboro
and
we're
growing,
and
that's
where
some
of
our.
M
Similarly
we
were
outgrowing
that
space
and
we
were
getting
ready
to
purchase
our
own
building
at
the
start
of
the
pandemic
and
a
whole
lot
of
funding.
Things
became
more
stressful.
You
know
none
of
us
knew
what
was
happening
at
the
very
beginning
of
it.
We
were
actually
supposed
to
be
moving
in
late,
March
2020.
We
pivoted
from
purchasing
a
building
and
returned
to
a
church
and
went
to
Highland
Heights
Baptist
Church
in
in
Campbell
County,
and
we
were
the
first
school
in
the
state
to
open
again
to
in-person
Services.
M
We
were
back
with
students
in
person
in
June
2020,
because
our
students
impairments
are
so
significant.
Virtual
learning
isn't
really
an
option.
The
person
on
the
screen
doesn't
normally
make
our
students
learn
and
answer,
and
and
our
students
aren't
really
capable
of
learning
that
way.
So
we
went
back
to
in-person
learning
there
very
very
quickly
based
on
those
needs,
and
similarly
we
were
back
to
packing
up
on
Friday
afternoon,
unpacking
on
Monday
packing
up
again
on
Wednesday
for
awana's
unpacking
on
Thursday,
so
it
cost
a
lot.
M
Heights
we
were
up
to
just
we're
up.
We
got
up
to
19
there
and
at
our
Peak
enrollment
here
in
Bedford.
We
had
25
three
graduated
this
year
and
are
now
participating
in
community
settings,
one
now
as
a
part-time
job,
and
then
one
left
the
state
and
another
one
transferred
to
a
different
school
because
it
was
closer
to
where
he's
originally
from
so
our
our
highest
enrollment's
ever
got
us
25,
but
in
Campbell
we
were
at
19
or
20
students.
L
L
M
There
there's
that's,
definitely
an
option
we
can
look
into
for
sure.
One
of
the
difficulties
becomes
been
able
to
tell
one
family
over
another
who
might
but
on
our
wait
list
for
longer.
If
a
Bedford
County
student
comes
up,
you
know
you
have
to
have
to
wait
a
little
bit
longer,
but
there's
there's
no
reason
why
we
can't
look
into
that
we'd
be
very
happy
to
do
it.
Some
of
the
other
ways
that
I
think
we
contribute
financially
to
the
county
includes
the
staff
we
do
bring
in.
M
Most
of
them
are
Liberty
University
graduates,
it's
their
first
job
out
of
college.
They
might
always
be
leaving
the
area
heading
back
home
to
the
different
various
States
or
different
parts
of
the
state
that
they're
from
many
of
them
then
take
up
residence
in
Bedford
County.
So
we
have
a
Statin
there's
36
people
on
on
staff
right
now,
75
to
80
percent
of
them
were
Bedford
County
residents
now
I,
don't
know
how
many
of
them
would
be
if
they
hadn't
found
a
job
in
this
field
that
they're
studying.
M
So
most
of
them
are
coming
out
of
college
with
bachelor's
degrees
in
Psychology
and
the
way
we
offer
our
services
in
that
very
intensive
way
is
related
to
both
special
education
and
psychology.
So
I
think
one
of
the
ways
that
we
are
financially
benefiting
the
taxpayers
by
bringing
more
people
in
I,
recognize
that
36
people
isn't
a
huge
amount
and
I
don't
know,
understand
taxes
enough
to
be
able
to
say
that
you
can
have
tapes
that
takes
out
seven
or
eight
thousand
off
off
the
books.
M
But
I
do
think
we
keep
a
lot
more
people
in
the
county
and
also
even
in
those
levels
of
expertise,
for
example,
both
myself
or
some
of
the
other
more
senior
staff
whose
jobs
are
present
and
actually
deciding
how
to
help
these
children
and
who
are
coming
up
with
the
ideas
and
working
with
the
with
the
parents.
I.
Don't
think
that
level
of
expertise
will
be
staying
in
the
area
either.
M
For
those
same
reasons,
you
know,
as
autism
numbers
continue
to
increase,
there's
a
lot
of
competition
for
well-trained
competent,
experienced
people
in
the
field,
and
some
of
them
might
end
up
leaving
the
area.
Otherwise,
so
to
answer
your
question
kind
of
straight,
yes,
I
think
we
can
look
into
it,
but
I
think
the
difficulty
would
be.
A
F
A
I
A
A
B
A
G
G
C
G
A
B
A
L
A
K
D
G
Mr
chair
yes,
or
were
you
done
Mr
Sharp?
Yes,
if,
if
we're
gonna,
I
mean
and
I'm
not
opposed
to
this
I
want
to
make
it
clear,
but
I
want
to
I'm
going
to
say
is
follow
my
thinking
here.
Seven
thousand
dollars
is
a
very
small
price
to
pay.
When
you
look
at
these
the
cost
per
day
per
student,
it's
it's
almost
insignificant
and
in
what
it
goes
to
do
for
this
organization.
G
And
and
certainly
I
I
can't
imagine
anybody
in
the
county
who
could
argue
with
this
and
I
feel
like.
We
should
certainly
go
ahead,
probably
and
approve
this
if,
if
we're
gonna
be
partied
or
something
that's
spending
such
an
egregious
amount
of
money
on
something
such
as
awnings
at
a
high
school,
that
could
easily
be
done
for
five
to
seven
thousand
dollars
a
piece
as
opposed
to
more
than
one
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Each.
D
I
will
add
that
I
I
visited
this
facility
today.
On
my
lunch
break
in
my
district
and
the
last
time,
I
was
there.
There
was
radio
station
there
and
I
I
think
a
number
of
different
businesses
were
located
in
there.
So
I
was
curious,
whether
the
entire
facility
was
being
used
for
this
purpose
or
was
only
part
of
the
facility
being
used
for
that
purpose.
You
know
what
I
observed
was
that
the
entire
facility
is
used
for
this
purpose.
D
They've
put
a
playground,
you
know
outside
for
I,
guess
the
younger
kids
and
it
it's
been
completely
transformed
from
the
last
time
that
I
had
been
in
the
facility,
but
that
that
gave
me
some
peace
that
this
seems
to
be
an
operation
that
hopefully
is
here
to
stay
to
serve
the
community
on.
It
looks
like
the
entire
facility.
I
D
C
D
G
Sure
miss
bands
I
mean
these
children
in
in
general.
My
feeling
is
I
think
there's
a
great
idea,
but
children
in
general
who
have
autism
should
not
be
denied.
If
there's
not
a
certainly,
if
there's
not
a
Bedford
County
resident,
you
know
able
to
come
up.
There.
I
mean
I
I.
If
I
may
suggest
I'm,
not
denying
your
I'd
like
to
also
suggest
that
perhaps
one
of
our
board
members
perhaps
would
be
permitted
to
sit
on
any
board
meetings
that
you
folks
have
to
to
stay
informed
on
how
the
organization
is
moving
forward.
C
E
O
A
P
P
So
with
that
being
said,
I
would
humbly
request
that
the
board
consider
the
option
number
one
resolution
that
was
outlined
in
the
meeting
packets
to
proceed
with
authorization
of
payment
for
this
project
and
continue
with
the
construction
here.
This
fall
so
with
that
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
or
discuss
the
project
and
any
more
details.

Q
Q
This
is
the
concept
plan
submitted
by
the
applicant.
If
the
special
use
gets
approved,
they
will
need
to
submit
a
major
site
plan
for
the
establishment
of
the
commercial
indoor
amusement
use
to
check
compliance
with
the
zoning
ordinance
as
well
as
requirements
for
the
reviewing
agencies.
They
have
proposed
to
replace
existing
3
000
square
foot
tire
shop
with
an
arcade.
Q
The
property
is
served
by
private
utilities.
Bdot
will
require
an
access
management
exception
to
be
submitted
by
an
engineer
that
addresses
the
current
state
of
the
entrances
and
the
exception
they
wish
to
be
granted.
It
would
need
to
highlight
that
the
easterly
entrance
is
a
shared
use
entrance
for
two
additional
properties.
Q
A
land
disturbing
permit
will
be
needed
if
ten
thousand
square
feet
or

Disturbed
and
or
within
200

of
a

but
is
not
anticipated
with
the
request.
As
submitted
the
Planning
Commission
public
hearing
was
held
on
August
1st
2023.
No
citizens
spoke
for
against
the
application.
During
the
public
hearing,
the
Planning
Commission
voted
7-0
to
recommend
approval
of
the
application,
with
staff
condition.
Q
The
Planning
Commission
has
recommended
the
following
condition:
one
General
conformance
with
the
concept
plan
and
conformance
with
all
Ordnance
standard,
is
required
for
site
plan
approval.
Any
changes
to
the
layout
of
the
site
that
will
result
in
an
increased
impact
to
adjoining
Properties
or
uses
shall
require
approval
of
an
amended
special

Permit
and
staff
has
added
a
condition:
a
recommended
condition.
Gambling
or
skilled
games,
as
defined
in
code
of
Virginia
18.2-325,
shall
be
prohibited,
and
this
concludes
the
staff
presentation.
Any
questions
from
the
planning
perspective.
B
Q
F
C
D
A
F
K
R
B
B
C
R
In
Virginia
right
now,
so
you
answer
your
question.
So
can
you
can
you
have
them
in
a
gas
station?
It's
very
clear
in
the
code
that
you
can't
have
them
as
an
accessory
using
a
gas
station
as
long
as
the
primary
use,
the
difference
is:
is
that
there's
a
it's
being
litigated
in
Virginia
right
now,
because
there's
General
assembly's
outlawed
them
in
as
a
standalone
facility?
So,
like
you,
can't
just
have
a
that,
could
be
the
sole
thing
that
you're
doing
there.
R
So
it's
being
litigated
right
now,
so
we
don't
really
know
how
the
legalities
of
that
will
prevail
or
not
so
you
can
have
them
in
a
gas
station.
There's
a
standalone
facility,
I
think
in
Lynchburg
line.
If
you
go
towards
221,
supposedly
that's
unpermitted
that
lynchburg's
trying
to
get
rid
of
right
now.
So
it's
just
being
litigated
like
like
Patrick,
said
it's
kind
of.
R
Is
it
a
casino
or
is
it
not
that's
what
it
boils
down
to
so
we're
just
trying
to
preclude
the
kind
where
you
would
get
money
from,
but
we
don't
want
to
preclude
Mr
Andrews
from
having
pool
foosball
air
hockey.
Those
are
skill.
Games
too
in
their
own
set,
but
they're,
not
a
gambling
skill
game
where
you
get
a
a
profit
or
money
or
there's
a
reward
at
the
end,
if
you
win
does.
F
R
Can't
answer
that
question
for
you
I
think
when
we,
when
we
put
this
condition
out
there,
we
asked
Mr
Andrew
this
morning.
You
know
what
he
wanted
to
have
and
the
things
he
wanted
to
have.
We
were
still
will
be
allowed
there
we're
just
precluding
the
ability
for
someone
to
have
like
a
a
game
in
there,
where
you
would
literally
get
money
for
winning
it.
R
R
S
Good
evening
how
you
doing
I'm,
BW,
Lawhorn
and
I
am
working
with
Jimmy
to
do
this
and
what
we're
looking
to
have
is
a
family
place
to
go.
Retro
arcade,
pinball
machines,
ski
ball,
Pac-Man,
Galaga,
Donkey,
Kong,
all
the
normal
things
you
used
to
see
when
you
were
growing
up,
we're
not
looking
to
have
gambling
paying
out
any
money
pool
table
Yeah.
We
won't
have
a
pool
table
to
start
off
with,
but
we
plan
on
rotating
stuff,
so
people
say:
hey
I
like
to
see
a
pool
table
here.
S
We
might
put
one
in
there
for
six
months.
If
somebody
asks
for
a
different
style
machine,
we
might
try
to
go,
find
one
of
those
and
put
it
in
there.
So
it's
not
all
the
same
stuff,
but
he's
got
the
store
next
door.
So
we
think
it'll
complement
that
if
they
want
to
go
over
and
get
a
drink,
he's
got
the
restaurant
and
there
they
can
go
in
and
get
food
got
tables
inside
outside
if
they
want
to
take
a
break
and
go
eat,
go
over
and
get
a
drink.
S
S
We
yeah,
we
already
have
a
bunch,
you
know
ready
to
go.
If
this
is
able
to
happen,
are
you
buying
these
games?
Are
you
going
to
lease
them
buy
them?
We
are
we
have
already,
but
this
has
been
like
a
year-long
journey.
To
be
honest
with
you,
we
started
out.
It
was
a
passion
of
mine.
You
know,
I
write,
children's
books,
I
love,
kids
I
want
to
see
stuff
to
do.
We
had
another
location
picked
up
that
did
not
work
out.
S
D
F
S
And
one
thing
about
ours:
all
the
games
will
be
turned
on
to
free
play,
so
you
just
pay
an
admission
price
to
come
in
and
because
you
know,
if
you
go
somewhere
and
twenty
dollars
a
quarters,
you're
done
an
hour.
You
know
we
don't
want
that.
We
want
you
to
be
there
and
have
a
good
time
with
your
family.
So
we're
just
going
to
have
everything
turned
on.
You
come
in
and
pay
a
small
fee
and
play,
but.
I
S
B
A
Oil,
yes
yeah
any
other
questions
for
the
applicant
all
right
thanks,
sir
all
right.
This
also
has
a
scissors
and
comment
portion
of
this
evening.
I
don't
have
anyone
signed
up,
but
if
you
wanna
inform
them
what
games
you
would
come
play
and
what
you
wouldn't
play,
I'm
sure
they'd.
Take
those
suggestions.
A
A
F
A
T
All
right,
good
evening
before
you
use
a
request
to
approve
the
year-end
budget
adjustments
for
the
prior
fiscal
year,
which
ended
June
30th.
This
is
something
that
we
do
every
year
and
this
year's
request
is
very
similar
to
what
we
have
requested
in
Prior
years.
It
consists
of
a
combination
of
departmental
transfers,
supplemental
Appropriations
and
use
of
contingency
funds.
T
The
agenda
memo
does
provide
more
specifics
regarding
each
individual
request,
but
at
a
high
level,
the
majority
of
the
departmental
transfers
and
uses
of
contingency
funds
were
related
to
unanticipated
or
higher
than
anticipated
costs
due
to
inflation
or
the
timing
of
payments.
I
did
want
to
specifically
point
out
the
use
of
contingency
funds
for
the
Blue
Ridge
Regional
Jail.
That
budget
overage
was
due
to
a
true
up
payment
that
was
made
in
fiscal
year,
23
related
to
fiscal
year.
22
actual
costs,
the
true
payment
it
was
made
in
January
and
was
about
536
thousand
dollars.
T
The
good
news
is
that
they
have
adjusted
per
diem
rates
and
I
do
not
anticipate
that
we
will
have
that
large
of
a
true
up
payment
this
year.
In
fact,
as
of
the
early
spring,
we
were
actually
operating
in
a
bit
of
a
surplus.
So
if
that
is
how
we
finish
the
year,
then
we
would
actually
get
a
bit
of
a
refund
in
fiscal
year,
24
related
to
fiscal
year
23.,
in
addition
to
the
departmental
transfers
and
uses
of
contingency.
There
are
also
several
requests
for
supplemental
Appropriations.
T
Most
of
these
requests
are
due
to
additional
revenues
received
during
the
year,
which
must
be
used
for
a
specific
purpose,
but
we
generally
don't
know
the
amounts
that
will
be
received
are
needed
during
the
year
when
we're
doing
the
budget
process,
so
we
appropriate
through
this
year-end
process.
I,
do
want
to
point
out
a
couple
of
exceptions.
The
management
fee
related
to
EMS
Revenue
collections,
that's
a
percentage
of
collections,
so
as
revenues
go
up,
so
does
that
management
fee
revenues
came
in
about
300
000
more
than
anticipated
this
year.
T
So
the
request
is
to
appropriate
a
portion
of
those
additional
revenues
to
offset
the
increase
in
the
management
fee,
and
then
we
kind
of
touched
on
this
during
the
work
session
tonight.
But
the
Broadband
manager
position
as
I
mentioned,
we're
funding
that
from
arpa
funds.
So
we
wait
till
the
end
of
the
year
to
see
the
final
costs
of
that
position.
That
is
all
inclusive
of
salaries
and
all
benefits.
So
we
are
requesting
a
supplemental
appropriation
from
the
remaining
arpa
funds
to
cover
the
cost
of
that
position.
T
T
T
J
J
G
A
K
K
D
T
That's
interesting,
so
this
is
another
thing
that
we
do.
Typically,
each
year
we
are
requesting
the
reappropriation
of
funds
from
the
fiscal
year
23
to
the
fiscal
year
24
budget.
As
a
reminder,
the
current
policy
does
state
that
funds
can
be
reappropriated
if
they
were
included
in
the
prior
Year's
budget,
but
either
not
ordered
or
not
paid
prior
to
the
year
end.
For
some
reason
it
could
be
timing.
It
could
be
delays
and
procurement
in
anything
that
might
delay
that
that.
T
The
board
can
and
has
previously
approved
requests
that
fall
outside
of
those
parameters,
but
we
do
try
to
limit
such
approvals
to
those
requests
that
really
cannot
be
absorbed
within
the
current
Year's
budget
and
that
also
can't
wait
until
the
next
budget
cycle.
In
total,
we
received
19
reappropriation
requests
totaling
about
three
hundred
and
eighteen
thousand
dollars.
T
There
is,
however,
one
request
that
is
recommended
that
did
not
technically
meet
the
definition
of
a
reappropriation,
and
that
was
for
office
furniture
for
the
registrar's
office.
The
amount
of
that
request
is
pretty
minimal,
but,
as
you'll
recall,
a
new
Deputy
Registrar
position
was
approved
in
the
fiscal
year
24
budget.
T
At
the
time
that
that
request
was
submitted,
we
had
not
made
the
decision
to
relocate
the
registrar's
office,
so
there
was
not
a
need
for
additional
Furniture
related
to
that
position,
and
so
the
request
is
to
reappropriate
money
to
cover
the
new
furniture
that
is
now
needed
for
that
of
the
six
requests.
That
staff
is
not
recommending.
Five
of
those
actually
did
not
meet
the
definition
of
a
reappropriation,
and
we
do
believe
that
they
can
be
absorbed
within
the
existing
budget
if
they
cannot
wait
until
the
next
budget
cycle.
T
A
Have
a
motion
by
Mr
Sharp?
Is
there
a
second

resolution.
O
O
The
it's
for
active
threat
or
violence
calls.
It
is
a
vest
and
a
helmet,
but
the
vest
is
mostly
for
any
violence
calls
that
the
staff
go
out
on
assaults,
shooting
stabbings,
whatever
the
case
may
be,
they
would
vest
up
before
they
go
out
for
their
protection
and
also
for
the
active
threat,
school
shootings.
Any
Mass
violence
like
that,
so
it's
for
any
purpose
of
mass

They
have

of
Housing
and
Community
Development
for
Verizon
Suites
Valley
and
Big
Island
Broadband
project
resolution,
r,
082-823-11.
P
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
so
back
in
March
Bedford
County
executed
a
contract
with
Verizon
for
a
Broadband
project
in
Big,
Island
and
Wheats
Valley.
This
project
fulfills
outstanding
value,
Grant
application
obligations
from
back
in
2019
and
would
allow
Bedford
County
to
seek
reimbursement
for
approximately
883
thousand
dollars
in
state
funds.
The
request
before
you
is
to
enter
a
contract
with
dhcd
to
assign
that
883
thousand
dollar
fund
balance
to
the
Verizon
project
and
process
reimbursements
accordingly,
so
the
Verizon
project
is
well
underway.
P

Yes,
as
long
as
Verizon
fulfills
their
contractual
requirements-
and
we
have
no
reason
to
believe
they
won't
that
883
000
should
be
absolutely
a
given.
Yes,
this
contract
basically
mimics
our
2022
vadi
contracts.
We
have
already
been
actively
applying
for
reimbursements
on
those
contracts
and
receiving
those
from
dhcd.

Thank
you,
Mr

The
proposed
agenda
item
is
to
authorize
the
purchase
of
the
it
firewall
replacement.
The
County's
I.T
firewall
needs
to
be
updated
and
replaced
based
on
an
increased
Network
traffic
and
increased
need
for
trigger
capacity,
the
firewall
into
critical
I.T
infrastructure
for
the
cyber
security
protection
of
the
county,
Data
Systems
and
staff.
Its
main
purpose
is
to
allow
non-threatening
traffic
in
and
to
keep
out
the
dangerous
traffic
out.
Our
current
firewall
is
at
the
limit
of
keeping
up
with
the
incoming
and
outgoing
Network
traffic.
N
Unlike
our
current
firewall,
the
proposed
solution
includes
a
centralized
management
that
offers
a
single
pane
of
glass
to
gain
insight
into
the
network.

is

and

through
Cooperative
procurement.
This
agreement
includes
Hardware
software
three
years.
A
four-hour
premium,
support
and
maintenance
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.

The
cost
of
this
is
a
total
of

The

of

included

We
are
asking
for
additional
11
147
to
complete
this
project,
and
this
is
being
transferred
into
the
I.T
operating
budget.
The
reason
for
this
increase
is
that
we've
this
is
now
August.
The
licensing
has
changed,
so
those
prices
have
updated
we're
also
including
the
single
plane
of
glass.
That
I
was
talking
about
that
centralized
management
software
there's
a
support.
N
That's
associated
with
that
this
particular
product
is
actually
what
Gartner
would
call
into
a
magic
quadrant.
It
is
very
well
known
and
well
respected.
The
four-hour
support
includes
if
there
was
any
issue
with
that
device
that
firewall
they
have
a
four
hour
turnaround
to
ship
us,
a
new
one.
That's
working.

Case
the
board
didn't
know
about
some
things
that
are
a
couple
things
our
Pio
Shelly
basingler
put
out
there
last
few
days.
The
registrar's
office
is
open
in
its
new
location
so
and
we'll
Turning
Point
Road,
so
they
Miss
Gunter
and
her
staff
are
there
doing
their
job
so
anyways
they
they
seem
to
be
happy
and
it's
a
good.
It's
going
to
be
a
good
office
for
them,
so
anyways
that
is
open
and
ready
to
go.
Also
just
because
it's
a
public
issue
as
well.
