day a week will be approximately $44,000.

convenience center be authorized on Thursdays.
Supervisor Bradshaw stated that he is not an advocate of closing the
centers down one (1) day a week. He stated that convenience center workers
have offered to do more, such as cut the grass, painting and maintenance of
the sites, but staff has refused to allow them to do more; the number of
visitors were tracked during the wintertime for only a period of six (6) weeks
and not during the peak time, causing the survey to be flawed; staff ignored
the desire of the Trash Committee that the number of visitors be counted at
each of the sites on a daily basis; and, employees are driving 350 Ford Pick-
up trucks to the sites to deliver mail.

its July 2, 2009 meeting and, in the meantime, is to investigate Supervisor
Bradshaw's concerns; be prepared to make suggestions about other ways to
save money; and, consider Supervisor Casteen's recommendation that the

A RESOLUTION URGING THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA TO
ADVANCE HIGH -SPEED PASSENGER RAIL CONNECTION TO
SOUTHSIDE HAMPTON ROADS AS A HIGH PRIORITY INITIATIVE
13
WHEREAS, the Hampton Roads region for many years has identified
the need for better and more efficient ways to connect people traveling within
the region and to points north and south of the region; and,
WHEREAS, such transportation connectivity requires multiple modes
of travel because vehicle roads alone will not be successful; and,
WHEREAS, high -speed passenger rail will be a critical addition to the
future United States transportation network offering an efficient, reliable and
environmentally friendly travel alternative linking the major urban centers
across the country; and,
WHEREAS, President Obama recently released a strategic plan entitled
Vision for High -Speed Rail in America; and,
WHEREAS, the President's high -speed rail strategic plan proposes the
rebuilding of the country's existing rail infrastructure into a new robust
network of high -speed passenger rail corridors comparable to the European
High -Speed Passenger Rail System; and,
WHEREAS, high -speed rail will have significant economic and quality
of life benefits for connected communities and regions across the country by
offering a viable, environmentally friendly and energy efficient transportation
alterative, which also promotes economic development, job creation and
enhanced travel and tourism opportunities; and,
WHEREAS, it is critically essential that the Hampton Roads region be
directly connected to the emerging national high -speed rail network to ensure
the region's continued economic competitiveness; and,
WHEREAS, the initial investment in high -speed rail to Hampton Roads
must directly connect the larger population base and employment center of
the region in South Hampton Roads to fully realize and leverage all the
potential benefits of such a major transportation investment; and,
WHEREAS, a modern high -speed passenger rail system will also offer
a viable emergency evacuation alternative for Southside Hampton Roads
citizens in the event of a hurricane or other major disastrous event
necessitating mass evacuation of the region; and,
WHEREAS, the well documented traffic delays at the major water
crossings and tunnels of Hampton Roads make efficient travel across the
region unnecessarily difficult; and,
WHEREAS, the necessary studies to evaluate and select a preferred
high -speed rail alternative from Richmond to Hampton Roads have been
delayed by more than two years; and,
14
WHEREAS, the General Assembly has not identified a dedicated and
sufficient transportation funding stream to improve the regional
transportation corridors and federal funding under the American
Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 and subsequent federal budgets will
direct significant funds to qualified high -speed rail projects; and,
WHEREAS, the Commonwealth must with all deliberate speed
complete the federally required studies for identifying a preferred high -speed
passenger rail connection from Richmond to Hampton Roads so the region
can be in a position to successfully compete for the new available federal
funds; and,
WHEREAS, the City Councils of Chesapeake, Franklin, Norfolk,
Portsmouth, Suffolk and Virginia Beach and the Board of Supervisors of Isle
of Wight (including the Town Councils of Smithfield and Windsor) and
Southampton Counties have all agreed to pass similar resolutions of support;
and,

was also no compensation to employees who work for the County for
obtaining additional certifications.

and Gloucester County, which is consolidated, has thirteen (13) employees
and about the same population as the County. He stated that Gloucester

around 42% and the County currently contributes 60% of its total budget. He

County. He stated that Gloucester County attempt to consolidate its Human
Resource Department had been unsuccessful. He advised that Gloucester
County does have an umbrella department to handle its public information.
