MANAGER'S
COMMENTS
Rhysa G. South, who has served Henrico as an
Assistant County Attorney for over 22 years, was installed as President of the
Local Government Attorneys of Virginia on September 1, 2009. LGA, as it is commonly known, is a statewide
organization of over 650 lawyers in public service and the private sector who
practice local government law.
The Henrico County Extension Office, in
cooperation with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services,
held a pesticide collection event at the Springfield Road Landfill on Friday,
August 29, 2009 where 15,540 pounds of out-of-date, unwanted, and unused pesticide
materials were received from homeowners and businesses for safe disposal. The program was free for participants and did
not result in any cost to the County or taxpayers other than providing a
collection site for that one day. The
Henrico event collected more than twice the combined amount received at two
other collection events held the same week in the City of Petersburg and New Kent County. Karen F. Carter, County Agent for the
Extension Office, noted that her agency's role was to provide publicity for the
Henrico event.
Henrico County
has been selected as one of 15 winners in the annual Virginia Association of
Counties (VACo) Achievement Awards program honoring innovative programs
recently implemented by local governments. VACo received 72 entries this year for the statewide contest, a record number. Henrico was one of only three
counties that earned two awards. Henrico
won an award in the environmental category for its Electronic Waste Recycling
program, which involves a partnership with the Central Virginia Waste
Management Authority (CVWMA) and Ukrop's Super Markets to lower costs and
increase participation at special events designed to recycle televisions,
computers, fax machines, and other electronic devices. The award was accepted by Steve Yob, Solid
Waste Division Director; Arthur Petrini, Director of Public Utilities; and Kimberly
Hynes, Executive Director of CVWMA. Henrico also won an award in the regional collaboration category for its
Regional Supplier Conference (SWAM), an annual one-day outreach effort to
small, women, and minority owned businesses that began in 2007 and offers an
opportunity for SWAM suppliers to meet with officials from dozens of agencies,
make contact The award was accepted by
Marvis Mitchell, Supplier Relations Coordinator; Cecelia Stowe, Purchasing
Manager; and Paul Proto, Director of General Services. Larry Land, VACo's Director of Policy
Development, presented the awards on behalf of the Association.
Several members of the Division of Recreation
and Parks staff have been recognized by the Virginia Amateur Athletic Union
(AAU) for their extraordinary efforts at two major baseball events held in
Henrico County, the AAU Boys 12 & Under National Championship played on July 19
- 27, 2008 at the Glen Allen Complex and the American Legion Virginia State Junior Tournament
played on July 30 - August 3, 2008 at The Glen Allen Stadium at RF&P

the presentation.
Henrico Regional Jails East and West received
national reaccreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Corrections
(CAC) on August 10, 2009 at the American Correctional Association (ACA) 2009
Congress in Nashville, Tennessee. The reaccreditation is for a three-year period and represents the
satisfactory completion of a rigorous self-evaluation, followed by an outside
review by a team of independent auditors. In meeting a total of 382 ACA standards, 60 of which are mandatory, the
Henrico Sheriff's Office achieved an overall score of 100 percent compliance at
Jail East and 96.96 percent compliance at Jail West. The following personnel from the Sheriff's
