MANAGER’S COMMENTS

For the 27th consecutive year, the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) of the United States and Canada has awarded the County with the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the County’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.  This award is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting and is highly regarded by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, and Fitch Investors Service as an indication of good financial management.  Mr. Kaechele presented a plaque from GFOA to John Vithoulkas, Director of Finance, and Clarence Daniel, Accounting Division Manager.  The Accounting Division of the Department of Finance was primarily responsible for preparing the award-winning report.

 

For the 20th consecutive year, the County has received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from GFOA after the County’s budget document was reviewed and rated favorably by an expert panel of independent budget professionals.  This award reflects the commitment of many individuals to meeting the highest standards of governmental budgeting and also reflects the leadership and support of elected and appointed officials as well as the expertise, professionalism, and many hours of hard work by staff.  Mr. Kaechele presented a plaque from GFOA to Mr. Vithoulkas; Gene Walter, Management and Budget Division Director; and Teresa Sprouse, Secretary.  The entire staff in the Office of Management and Budget played a key role in the development of the County’s budget.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS’ COMMENTS

Mr. Kaechele recognized Thomas Branin, the County Planning Commission’s Three Chopt District Representative, who was in the audience observing the meeting.

 

Mr. Thornton noted that the Glen Echo Building is the site where the Board of Supervisors used to meet.  He thanked his colleagues on the Board and Mr. Hazelett for bringing government closer to persons who live in eastern Henrico by opting to move the November 25 meeting to the Glen Echo Building.  Mr. Kaechele pointed out that the Board would be back at the Glen Echo Building for its December 9 meeting.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

A. R. Goodwin, a resident of the Varina District, expressed concerns regarding the threat of land consumption and sprawl to the County’s remaining historic resources and the need for protection of these resources in the County’s comprehensive planning process.  Mrs. Goodwin referred to a study she undertook during the past three years of the recent history of historic preservation policy in Henrico in which she included a list of historical sites and structures reported lost as of 2006.  She commented that the County Planning Department’s comprehensive plan outreach methods since 2004 have not sufficiently promoted public knowledge of the comprehensive plan and have resulted in limited citizen input.  Mrs. Goodwin asked that the Board and administration not continue to allow development to take place without the inclusion of simple historic preservation tools within the 2026 comprehensive plan draft.
