The Board considered allocation of a portion of FY2014 health insurance savings to establish a Health Insurance Reserve Account as recommended by SAW Consortium.
Ms. Whetzel advised that this had been discussed at Monday’s Staff Briefing. She noted that, as part of her presentation, she had mentioned that the SAW Consortium had bid out the health insurance for the Consortium Members. The County had budgeted a 16.7% health insurance increase for 2014 but it came back with a 0%; therefore, the County has a total savings of $228,855 in the FY2014 budget. The Consortium recommended setting aside 3% to 5% reserve to help fund self-insurance. A 3% reserve would be $153,000 ; therefore, Ms. Whetzel suggested that the Board entertain moving the total savings of $228,855 into an escrow account to help offset future increases. She noted that if the County does move towards self-insurance, then the 3% reserve would be available to offset future health insurance increases.
Mr. Karaffa moved, seconded by Mr. Pattie, that the Board allocate FY2014 health insurance savings to establish a health insurance reserve account as recommended by the SAW Consortium.
Vote was as follows: Yeas: Pattie, Karaffa, Shull, Wills, Moore, Beyeler and Pyles Nays: None Motion carried.
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING ACCOUNTS
The Board considered the following resolutions:
A. Daikin McQuay Resolution B. Hollister Resolution Ms. Whetzel advised that two resolutions related to Tax Increment Financing were discussed at Monday’s Staff Briefing. She noted that in May, the Board had approved a Performance Agreement for Daikin McQuay regarding an expansion. She noted that they are receiving Governor’s Opportunity Funding (GOF) as well as Virginia Jobs Investment Program (VJIP) funding. This is an internal TIF in which the County would match those funds that the State is providing with those grants and then the County would reimburse itself through future tax increases from McQuay. The total of the GOF was $250,000 and the VJIP funding is $55,250. The resolution allows the County to be reimbursed those funds in the future.
In July, the Board approved tax increment financing agreements for Hollister regarding an expansion. They are also receiving VJIP funding. The internal TIF before the Board is to recover the local match of $50,000 through future tax increases for Hollister.

The Board discussed the following issues:
Mr. Pyles: PowerPoint presentation regarding population as it relates to growth in the County’s schools.
Mr. Wills: Fire and Rescue Report – suggested that the Board coordinate with Chief Holloway discussions with individual fire and rescue agencies within their district.
Mr. Beyeler: School Data Response – requested that he be given a hard copy of Mr. Pyles’ presentation, noting that it is difficult to review all the information as it is presented. He added that many people have retired to the County but, when the economy changed, people stopped moving here.
Mr. Shull: School Data Response – did not dispute the facts or figures on Mr. Pyles’ presentation.

MATTERS TO BE PRESENTED BY STAFF
1. Blue Ridge Tunnel Project – Nelson County has been looking for a partner to co- sponsor the Blue Ridge Tunnel Project. They have found a partner with the City of Waynesboro. At this time, they have not asked Augusta County for local funding. Waynesboro has solicited VDOT planning funds. The State is requesting to know what the County’s position is on this matter. Chairman Moore commented that he is on the Board for the Blue Ridge Tunnel Project and he has made it clear to them the County’s position that this Board does not support taxpayer dollars being used for the project. Mr. Coffield added that the Board is supportive of what Waynesboro and Nelson County are doing as they move forward with what they feel is in their best interest. Mr. Beyeler noted that he does not support this and felt that the Board should stay neutral. Chairman Moore felt that VDOT wanted an acknowledgement from Augusta County that it is a project that Nelson and Waynesboro supports and because of the western portal being in Augusta County, that the Board of Supervisors acknowledges the project at this point without its financial support. Mr. Karaffa felt that, if the funds are already set aside, it should be up to VDOT to decide the allocation of funding. He agreed that local tax dollars should be prioritized to go to fire, rescue and schools before funding a project like this. He stated the tunnel was a magnificent achievement during the time that it was done. Mr. Pyles expressed concern about using road money that does not help the transportation move faster. Mr. Wills and Mr. Shull did not support using local dollars to fund this project. Mr. Shull stated there was a tax increase for transportation and the area needs the money put back on roads and not for tourism. Chairman Moore stated the Board has received invitations to attend the “Foundation’s” fundraiser and he would appreciate the Board’s willingness to attend.
