And is there a motion to present necessary for next month?

on the slate for the bylaws.

Thank you, Adam.

We can move on to the presentation of the home and annual action plan.

So I'm just going to share a little bit about that with you and hopefully you'll have a chance if you haven't already to look at it online and give comments if you haven't.

No, it'll be online next week.

Are there any questions?

How do we measure how on track we are to achieving those goals?

I mean, it can only be used for particular calls, but then just how that plays out, you know,

Applesworth, okay.

All right.

Now on to the legislative update.

This was the long session, which is the 60-day version, adjourned on March the 14th.

And as I'm sure you're aware by now, you can go to the first slide.

I'll pull mine up.

All right.

There we go.

Great.

My apologies.

Basically, the legislator will just introduce the bill again the next year.

Next slide, please.

Got some money in one of the budgets for that, so that's in one bill as well.

That's fine.

More in depth summary of all the legislation that passed of interest to the local governments.

That's another one that went back to her for her action.

So that kind of further exacerbates that gap between the House and the Senate in terms of the revenues that they have available to appropriate.

And then we'll get one more.

We were not expecting that bill.

Did they talk about transportation funding?

I'm glad to take any other questions.

I'm probably just surprised by the things that are going through.

So, you know, that backstop was not there anymore.

Are there any pieces that the governor has proposed amendments that feel like pending vetoes that we're seeing a similar kind of walking of arms, or is that a standout?

Yeah, I think it's going to be really interesting to see how she deals with some of these very high profile bills.

You got to see him at work multiple times.

We tried, but that's because you were down there with me.

That's just true.

Thank you very much.

Manufacturing, housing, what have you, all those different districts.

I don't know.

But Davey was like a good side hustler that I would be watching.

Moving on to the consent agenda.

McPhee, all those in favor?

Moving on to new business, the safe streets for all of our infrastructure.

Happy to take any questions.

So motion.

We're going to do a motion.

Chair, I move to approve the resolution as presented.

Is that not correct?

We have not been back since for a presentation on any of these other applications.

Or we just passed?

We have not heard indications yet from Louisa County staff.

We've been in communication with your staff several times and haven't heard a final confirmation of whether you guys are considering it or not.

So if there is a 20% local match requirement for Safe Streets and Roads for All, so we do have a resolution on Greene County's agenda for that reason, so if there were funds that were going to be committed, that would need to go into a court agenda.

Thank you.

Yes.

There was a point where you moved from the planning to the implementation where we all did it together, planning and implementation.

So we could bundle the application together.

If not, we want to

It was $600 here, $2,000 there, $4,500 there, that totaled $30,000, but nothing substantive changed between the programming.

Tonya Swartzendruber, Tonya Swartzendruber, TJPDC, Tim Goolsby, Tim O'Brien, Tonya Swartzendruber,

And are there any other updates you wanted me to share on that one?

I've communicated with all the jurisdictions to receive their banking information so that future payments can be made by ACH so we can eliminate checks in the mail.

unfortunately, and getting much more sophisticated.

I mean, we believe, but.

Pretty rampant right now.

When we selected Louisa Post Office, they apparently have been going down to the outside box and somebody with a fabricated key to get in there.

That's right.

and there's been numerous business checks taken out of the area.

Trying to address all potential avenues of.

Postrooms especially don't go where they're charged with.

Well, just I mean publicly do a kudos to Laura for jumping on it and following all of the steps within a 24 hour time period of being notified to make sure that we protected any other checks from and notifying all of your staffs.

Well done.

Any other questions or comments from the board?

We're coordinating with a couple different planning districts for a super regional conference.

It is called Finding Funding for the Future.

It is in Stanton and it is coming up on due to the date off the top of your head.

It's next Wednesday and you can register tonight or tomorrow.

You can find that within the executive director's report.

I believe that is all I have for you tonight, but happy to take any questions on all the written stuff that I put in the report.

That's a show.

You need to get credit for the tax break.

We want everybody to be able to deal with it.

But she's been a little bit of an attitude in the last eight or nine months.

It's not that much, but the tax reliefs,

Anything else you would like to add?

Jimmy John Sochop, you know, so.

They actually don't know, they have their zoning approval.

They don't know yet if it will pencil out.

They pay their tax bills, you would have to pay 30 years to the whole property to help them move the needle.

Is it part of any of the blockchain or is it only on site?

It's interesting, Charlottesville is 10%, 50%, and I know that they lost 20%, so let's give it a go.

Okay, reputation, Charlottesville.

Yes.

But thank you.

We've got more than everybody else.

And I think, part of it should have more counties have a really great example of a positive regional population.

Holiday Drive, which the city purchased to create a year-round permit.

Same thing.

Yeah, so our purchase came.

Love, Jen.

Yeah, and a lot of our- And not sure if you can tell, we just need to march, or else.

Sorry.

But, I think it's, it probably will be in about a million dollars a year.

Did that move forward?

I'd have to check.

No.

Let me check on that and see.

On the student housing and gentrification, and I know you all want to vote on one side, I was sad.

I remember staying in on the big planning mission for the discussion five years ago.

Why did that not expose the problem?

We missed two parses.

We're still working on it.

And we have a shortage of student housing as well.

But it is, yeah, it was unforeseen where it's been done, how it's been done.

And I'll just end by saying I think the data training research

I think that we're really interested in a case study of out of 11, well, out of the age of five.

That was it.

So we're trying to kind of capture more information about that as

It's a lot of work.
