Chairman Bradshaw declared a recess.
Chairman Bradshaw called for the General Services report.
Eddie P. Wrightson, Director of General Services, presented a
generator lease renewal for the Carrsville Volunteer Fire Department for the
Board's consideration. He advised that the County had entered into a Master
Equipment Lease and Service Agreement in March 2007 with Tidewater
Energy Services (TES) for the installation and maintenance of certain
emergency power equipment to ensure the delivery of more effective services
in the event of an emergency. He stated that the Lease and Service
Agreement is set up to replace generators on a ten (10) year cycle to ensure
reliability of service. He stated that TES monitors, maintains and repairs the
generators as a condition of the agreement. He stated that when the
Agreement was entered into, several existing County generators were also
incorporated into the Lease program, including the 125kw generator located
at the Carrsville Volunteer Fire Department (CVFD). He stated that the
CVFD generator was manufactured in 2000 and the lease will expire on
December 31, 2010. He stated that the generator will be replaced and there is
a new "Schedule A" and he is requesting authorization for the County
Administrator to execute the revised "Schedule A" for the generator
replacement.
Responsive to Supervisor Clark's concern about cost, Supervisor
Wright recalled that the reason behind the need for generator leases is
8
because during a past hurricane, there had been an individual who stayed at
one (1) of the shelters that had medical equipment which could not be run by
the existing generator and that both schools had been upgraded with larger
generators as a result. He stated that while the cost of the generators may
seem high, if the County had purchased its own generators, it would require
six (6) to eight (8) individuals to monitor and maintain them.
Supervisor Casteen expressed concern with a proposed 26% increase,
noting that the County is currently paying $380,000 annually and may be
paying $500,000 before too much longer. He suggested that the matter be
referred to the Building and Grounds Committee for an investigation of other
possible alternatives.
Chairman Bradshaw moved that County Administrator Caskey be
authorized to execute the Equipment and Service Agreement Schedule "A"
associated with the Carrsville Volunteer Fire Department generator
replacement. The motion was adopted by a vote of (5 -0) with Supervisors
Bradshaw, Casteen, Clark, Hall and Wright voting in favor of the motion and
no Supervisors voting against the motion.
Supervisor Casteen moved that the issue of generators and maintenance
be studied by EMS staff and the Fire and Rescue Association and referred to
the Building and Grounds Committee for review and suggestions back to the
Board. The motion was adopted by a vote of (5 -0) with Supervisors
Bradshaw, Casteen, Clark, Hall and Wright voting in favor of the motion and
no Supervisors voting against the motion.
Mr. Wrightson presented an operations and preventative maintenance
plan for the Young Laine Courts Building that is scheduled to open during
the first week of November 2010 and will be the County's only "green"
building. He advised that the following five (5) step plan has been developed
to operate and maintain the building:
A. Reclassify a vacant Maintenance Worker II position in General
Services to create a Buildings Operations Technician position
that would be responsible for the above noted building's
operations. This position would be responsible for environmental,
mechanical and control system monitoring and operations, PM
scheduling, and performance and equipment records management.
The position will require a person with exceptional computer skills
and experience with the operation and maintenance of building's
major system components.
B. Fill a vacant Information Services Specialist (ISS) position in the
Information Technology (IT) Department that is budgeted in the
current year at $37,000. The ISS will be responsible for the
operation of the new technology in the YLCB, including the new
voice over internet protocol (VOIP) phone system, the electronic
9
security system that includes access card readers, cameras and
recorders.
C. PM contracts will be used during the first year's occupancy of the
YLCB for the major system components. The initial one (1) year
contract period will be a training and evaluation period for County
staff and the Building's Operations Technician to determine the
future contract needs. At this time, it is anticipated that the contract
coverage could be scaled back after the first year. The first year
PM contracts for the YLCB are estimated at $15,000.
D. Custodial Services will be provided by two (2) part-time General
Service's custodians that were approved in the FY 2011 Operating
Budget. These positions were funded at thirty (30) hours per week
and will be assisted by existing custodial staff as needed. Staff has
inquired as to the cost to "contract out" those services; however,
the above option is the most cost effective alternative.
E. Implement the attached Integrated Pest Management and Green
Housekeeping Plans.
Chairman Bradshaw moved that the Building and Grounds Committee
be requested to review the sketch of the buildings to be vacated and their
intended future use and that staff and the Building and Grounds Committee
provide a presentation on the buildings and floor plans to the Board. The
motion was adopted by a vote of (5 -0) with Supervisors Bradshaw, Casteen,
Clark, Hall and Wright voting in favor of the motion and no Supervisors
voting against the motion.
Supervisor Casteen moved that County Administrator Caskey be
authorized to take all necessary and required actions to implement the
"Operation and Maintenance Plan" in substantial conformance with the
Board Report contained in the agenda. The motion was adopted by a vote of
(5 -0) with Supervisors Bradshaw, Casteen, Clark, Hall and Wright voting in
favor of the motion and no Supervisors voting against the motion.
Mr. Wrightson advised that the General Services /Solid Waste Division
has traditionally provided quarterly informational sessions /training for
convenience center attendants. He advised that in order to accommodate all
twenty -five (25) attendants, the training has typically been provided on two
(2) separate days in two (2) hour segments that allow the convenience centers
to maintain normal operating hours. He stated due to the expansion of solid
waste services and constant varying in training needs, staff is proposing "all
attendants" quarterly meetings be held in order to afford the opportunity to
pass consistent operational information and ensure an "across the board"
operational procedural standard for all County convenience centers. He
recommended that the first meeting be held on Thursday, November 18
from 7:00 a.m. — 9:00 a.m., which will focus on the implementation of the
10
County's new Single- Stream Recycling Program and the County Attendant
Handbook currently under development. He stated that although all eight (8)
convenience centers will need to open (2) hours later than normal, Thursday
was strategically chosen due to a "traffic flow study" showing this day to be
the slowest day of the week; thereby, minimizing the impact on citizens. He
advised that appropriate signage would be posted advising customers of the
delayed opening at each center.
Supervisor Clark moved that staff be authorized to operate a two (2)
hour delay in opening the County's convenience centers once a quarter for
the purpose of staff training. The motion was adopted by a vote of (5 -0) with
Supervisors Bradshaw, Casteen, Clark, Hall and Wright voting in favor of the
motion and no Supervisors voting against the motion.
Mr. Wright advised that a revised Board Report entitled "American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act Project Update" was distributed to the Board
members prior to the meeting tonight. He advised that on November 23,
2009, the Governor certified six (6) projects in the County to receive
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding. He advised that
the County's total allocation was $826,646 and staff expects all contracts to
be awarded by October 30, 2010. He advised that the status of the projects
are as follows:
1. Extended left turn lane on Route 17 at Kings Cove Way:
County staff designed and will administer the contract for
construction. The first bid process failed to elicit responsible
bids, thereby requiring staff to re- advertise the project for bids.
The winning bid came in below the project estimate.
Construction is expected to commence before October 30, 2010.
2. Repaving on Route 58 /Carrsville:
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is
administering this project and the winning bid came in below the
project estimate. The contract was awarded to BP Smart
Construction and is scheduled for completion before December
2010.
3. New sidewalks in Windsor:
The Town of Windsor staff hired an engineer to design the
sidewalks and prepare a construction estimate. The project was
bid and prices came in above the engineer's estimate and above
the original project allocation. In order to save the project and
avoid having to relinquish ARRA funds, General Services' staff
worked with VDOT to reallocate a portion of excess allocations
from Route 17 turn -lane project and Route 58 paving to
completely fund this project. County staff re- advertised the
11
project and Bissette Construction was awarded the work. Town
staff will administer the project.
4. Traffic signal battery back -up in Windsor:
The purchase and installation price for the battery backup project
came in below the estimate. Installation of equipment at Route
603 /and Route 610 provides battery power for 8 to 12 hours, if
needed. VDOT administered the project.
5. Feasibility study /preliminary engineering for sidewalks to
Windsor Middle School:
General Services' staff worked with VDOT to reallocate excess
funds from both Route 17 and Route 58 projects to expand the
scope of this project to include Westside Elementary School.
Both Windsor Middle and Westside Elementary are the County's
most likely candidates to receive future federal grant funding to
build sidewalks because of their proximity to residential
neighborhoods. Land Studio was selected to perform the
feasibility study /preliminary engineering. County staff will
administer the project.
6. South Church Street Improvements, Smithfield:
ARRA allocation for this project was applied in its entirety
toward a qualified, ongoing project. Town of Smithfield staff
expects to award the contract prior to October 30, 2010, and will
administer the project.
Mr. Wrightson requested that the Board approve a Resolution to
Appropriate Funds from the Unappropriated Fund Balance to be Reimbursed
by the Virginia Department of Transportation for County- Administered

Emergency Communications Center currently has two (2) vacant positions
out of an approved sixteen (16) full -time dispatchers. She advised that the
mission of the Center would be impacted if the Center continues to operate
below approved staffing levels. She advised that the last two (2) full -time
positions opened were filled promoting part-time personnel who were already

full -time vacancies. She advised that these part -time positions will reach
ninety (90) days' vacancy in mid - October and mid - November.
