MANAGER’S
COMMENTS
This Board of Supervisors’ meeting is the first that was available
on the Internet through live video Web streaming. Residents were able to view the meeting live or
can watch it later by accessing the archive. Each meeting archive will be segmented by
agenda item, so viewers have the option of selecting the particular agenda item they
want to see rather than watch the entire meeting. The video recordings provide verbatim audio and
video transcripts of Board proceedings.
In light of this higher level of documentation, which constitutes the
most comprehensive record of regular meetings of the Board, the written minutes
henceforth will contain more concise summaries of discussions. The live Web
streaming not only provides a new level of access to our residents, but also
creates historic video archives of Board of Supervisors’ meetings.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS’ COMMENTS
Mrs. O’Bannon noted
that Lee Priestas, who is retiring as Director of Public Works after 34 years
of service with the County, was attending his final Board meeting in an official capacity. Mr.
Kaechele and Mr. Thornton joined her in expressing appreciation to Mr. Priestas
for his work and consummate professionalism during his tenure and offered him
best wishes for happiness in his retirement.
Mrs. O’Bannon and Mr.
Kaechele commented on an informative local seminar they attended on February 6
titled “Managing the 2010 Budget - Strategies to Succeed,” which covered a
number of items of interest to local officials.
John Vithoulkas, Director of Finance, and Gene Walter, Director of Budget
and Management, also attended. The
seminar reinforced the importance of Henrico’s triple-A credit bond rating,
which saves the County a significant amount of money in its bond sales. Mr. Kaechele congratulated Mr. Hazelett and
the Department of Finance for helping the County maintain its triple-A rating
with all three rating agencies.
Mr. Thornton welcomed
students and instructors from the Administrative Practice and Procedure class
at J. Sargeant Reynolds’ Community College’s Parham Road campus. The class is studying the Freedom of
Information Act and public hearing procedures.
Mr. Kaechele welcomed Boy Scouts from Troop 706, who were observing the
meeting to fulfill merit badge requirements.
Mr. Glover announced
that the Babe Ruth Baseball 14-Year-Old World Series will return to Glen Allen
Stadium at RF&P
Park in 2011 and that
last year local athletic tournaments generated over $30 million in economic
impact for Henrico. He applauded the
County’s Division of Recreation and Parks for doing an outstanding job.
