MANAGER’S COMMENTS

C. Michael Schnurman has joined the County Manager’s Office as the primary legislative resource for County agencies and key officials.  Mr. Schnurman will develop the County’s annual legislative program and represent the County’s interests and viewpoints at the Virginia General Assembly.  He will also research and track national legislative interests of importance to the County.  A decorated United States Marine Corps veteran of the Persian Gulf War, Mr. Schnurman most recently served as Legislative Assistant to the Virginia Senate Majority Leader and previously worked for the National White Collar Crime Center as Special Assistant to the Director for Government Relations.  Mr. Schnurman graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Richmond, where he earned a Bachelor of Applied Science degree, and is currently completing requirements for the Master of Public Administration degree from Virginia Commonwealth University.

 

Reta R. Busher has submitted her resignation as Director of Finance effective September 7, 2007 to accept the position of Chief Financial Officer with the Virginia Department of Transportation.  A Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Ms. Busher was formerly the Director of Budget and Management for the County of Roanoke.  She was initially employed by the County of Henrico in 1993 as Director of the Office of Management and Budget.  Ms. Busher became Deputy Director of Finance in 1999 and Director of Finance in 2002.  Mr. Hazelett pointed out that Ms. Busher has given the County an enormous amount of time and effort and thanked her for her years of service.  Mr. Kaechele commented that Ms. Busher will be missed for many reasons, not only for her financial and budgetary expertise, but also for going above and beyond the call of duty in helping citizens with late taxes and other problems.  

 

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS’ COMMENTS

 

Mr. Thornton noted the passing of Oliver W. Hill August 7, 2007 and paid tribute to Mr. Hill’s august legacy.  Mr. Thornton characterized Mr. Hill as a great civil rights lawyer, an icon to those who understand jurisprudence, and a humanitarian who opted to make the world a little bit better during his 100 years.

 

Mr. Thornton expressed pride and applauded the Board, Mr. Hazelett, and others for entering new territory and embarking on the Police Athletic League (PAL) program, the mission of which is to build a firm foundation for certain children by engendering character and integrity.  He commented on the success of a basketball camp that was recently held in association with this program.

 

Mr. Glover reported that the County is honored to host the weeklong 14-Year-Old Babe Ruth World Series at Glen Allen Stadium, which will attract great ballplayers from all over the nation and add prestige to this area.  The event kicks off with opening ceremonies on the evening of August 17, 2007.  Games begin at 10:00 a.m. the following day.  Mr. Glover announced that Glen Allen was recently ranked as the 66th best place to live in the nation out of the top 100 communities and that Glen Allen Stadium was one of the facilities named in the rankings as well as Walkerton and the Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen.

 

Mr. Donati thanked the Division of Police for appearing in full force at National Night Out Against Crime events sponsored by Neighborhood Watch groups throughout the County’s five magisterial districts on August 7, 2007. 

 

Mr. Donati recognized Drew Gardner from Boy Scout Troop 776, sponsored by the Columbian Center on Pump Road, who is working on his Communications Merit Badge.  Mr. Donati noted that he had personally been offered the privilege of attending an Eagle Scout Court of Honor ceremony a couple of weeks previously, where interesting statistics were cited from a recent nationwide high school survey revealing large percentages of the following groups who have been Scouts:  student council presidents, senior class presidents, school publication editors, football captains, military academy graduates, Rhodes Scholars, FBI agents, and astronauts.  After quoting these statistics for the public, Mr. Donati acknowledged that Scouts are a tremendous asset to the leadership of this country.
