Thank you, Mr. Modiya. Mr. Dota is present. Mr. Kendrick.
Present.
Mr. Meffet. Ms. Flatley. Mr. Nikkeli will join us from afar. If we can find him, we will work on it. And our new members, Ms. McInnes. Mr. Palabota. Mr. Jennings. And Ms. Monar is present. We have a quorum.
Thank you. Now we will stand up for the oath and aahwaan. Lord, as members of this organization, we are grateful for the opportunity to gather together to contribute to our community. When we discuss and discuss the issues that come before us, we pray for your guidance and knowledge. That whatever we do is for the good, not for the bad. I pray to you that you continue to protect and bless our county in the name of Jesus. Amen.
So now we have to review our last few minutes, which took place on 9 June. Did everyone get a chance to see? Do we have any proposals? I propose that we accept the last few minutes of the meeting.
Samarthan karta hoon. Kya sabhi paksh mein? Kya?
Koi virodh mein hai. Kya koi anpasit hai?
Dharmat.
Dharamat. Ab hamare paas naagrikon ke liye sarvajanik tipni ka same hai. Har vyakti ko bolne ka mauka dene ke liye tipniya 3 minute tak simit rahengi. Aaj raat koi sarvajanik sunwai nahi hai. Isliye hamein usise ke baare me chinta karni ki zaroorat nahi. Aaj shaam bolne ke liye kisi ne sign up nahin kiya hai, lekin agar koi maujood hai aur abhi apna haath uthana chahta hai. Kya koi online hai? Theek hai. Chuki koi sarjanik tipni nahin hai, isli mujhe sarjanik tipni par charcha karne ka koi kaaran nahin dikta. Main sarjanik tipni ka samay bandh karunga. And then, Samudak Niyojan Patta Adhikari, Nausena Sahaita Suvidha, Dakshin PTO AC Dog Range, Shri Adam Lynch. Today, Shyam will not be here. Shyam, for what? I should read the email of our last meeting's answers to our questions. I think. Okay. He does not want to come.
Okay.
So, they were asked in the last meeting, based on our questions, the commissioners were sent an email. The question is from Commissioner Nicely. Will the school also increase in facilities based on the location of the school? For now, we believe that there is no answer to this. We hope that the school will be integrated in the existing SCSTC facilities and new ground-up facilities will not be built. As the school will be relocated, NOSENA will continue to improve the availability of facilities according to its mission and will work accordingly. Commissioner Kendrick's question is, Is there any hope of increasing the number of students every year? Although there is no hope of increasing the number of students in the training pipeline, but the duration of their stay will be almost double. After completion, at any time, the number of ATIC students will be doubled. Chair Flatley's question is, What is the relationship between the students of A school in the population and the officials? The base hopes that there will be both students and commission officials, among which there will be officials. Commissioner Palot's question is, Are non-American soldiers educated in the ARTC of NSF Dogren? SCSTC provides training for international service members who are currently running the AJ Subkaran Bede and is going to do this even after the relocation of A school. A plan has been made for the future community participation in school issues. NSF Dobrian and SCSTC are making a plan to include local community leaders in the relocation of the A school. ATRC Commanding Officer Capt. John Tremorhorn on 26th August presented a proposal to the NSSPS Community Relations Commission. Excuse me. The Board of Supervisors Board of Supervisors Board of Supervisors Board of Supervisors Board of Supervisors Board of Supervisors Board of Supervisors Board of Supervisors Hello, members of Adyaksh Modi Aayog.
Tonight, a master plan for Dog Area Park is being brought in which Barnesfield Park and Dog Area and Versailles Park will be included. Okay, let's start. Thank you. Bansfield Park and Dauberman Westside Park have served our community since the 1980s. In the initial construction of Bansfield Park, two football fields, four baseballs, diamonds, two picnic shelters, a playground, a residential toilet, a swimming pool and a fitness course were included. In the last four years, Park and Manoranjan have completed a disc golf course, upgraded the field lighting with LED bulbs on Field A, and changed the playground to a playground after more than 20 years of life. Currently, we are using 30 out of 144 acres of property. There is a picnic table and a beach area in Tog and Visite Park, where now 4 out of 7.3 acres are available for use. As part of the bridge construction, no improvements have been made in Dog Visayad in the last 40 years apart from the Kayak Rental Station and the new floor. In the Master Plan developed with important input from the Public, Park and Entertainment Workers and the Park and Entertainment Advisory Committee, for the next 10-15 years, there is a need of more than Rs. 34 million for improvements. In the spring of 2025, people were asked for their opinions through the Trishyam Varyata Board and online survey. The employees of our director, McGill Associates, attended a steam night at King George High School, a PTOC Elementary School pickup at Barnesfield Park, a small league night at Saddlebrooks Junior Park. They met their families on a one-week-long night and agreed. McGill also met the PCB to know their opinions on possible facilities. Using the initial data, Maggie developed an initial plan, which we kept for the second phase of the public opinion by the end of 2025. The main priorities of the community are seen here. So, the reconstruction of the reality stand and toilets, looking at the fishing pond, which is actually the main place where the county dug the soil to build the baseball field and the football field, we cannot do it the same way as we used to do in the 80s. To add something to the Westside Park. To make our playgrounds better and better. The possibility of making a community center. To make a playground, be it basketball, pickleball, tennis, padel. Whatever is going to happen in the world of racquetball, and then tent, camping. With the feedback received, it was helpful to give the proposed map a final look, as you can see here. The park and one councillor group used the community information and helped with a plan. So in the west side, we have the current area, we have the ocean floor, and we need to improve the parking here. Obviously, we don't have any parking space. We have fenced the banks of the river so that people can't go very far with their vehicles on the sand. By making a boardwalk in the wetland, this can be a kind of organization space in which there is a playground, picnic shelter and toilet facility for adventure. These parks were built in 1980 for the tennis court, park, picnic shelter and the upper part in the master plan. That is, a parking space was said to be made in the upper part. So we did not change the wheel after 40 years. Right now, we have three softball fields that we use. This is the reality stand. It fulfills the needs because it has been running for a long time. It can be made better and ADAs can be followed. When small league players use the reality stand, they get very tired. They called the electrician with money so that some extra breakers and outlets can be installed because of the lack of people. They could not do anything for service. That's why they did this for us, but it has definitely gone out of its use. For now, this is a football field and a small league-sized baseball field. Our proposal is to convert it into three small league-sized fields. We will give it to Little League on lease, we will run it ourselves. It will depend on the number of employees. But now we are giving them a house. During the season, the Little League puts up portable fencing on big softball fields. But if we can organize a softball tournament for the West Coast on the weekend, then we have to remove those fans and doing this again and again is a challenge. That's why if we have three little league-sized fields for our youth, it will be very helpful. For this, there should also be a real stand and a toilet facility. There is a lake right behind this station. The entire trail network is flat. When we sat down with Magill to start this process, we found that this area is very wet. And so instead of spending $100,000 on wetlands, we chose places to sit and see. And that's why our areas are like they are because we knew they had the ability to grow. We know that we have spent all our money in this area. We should know this very well. That you can't do anything else except trails there. That you can't do anything else except trails there. Because there is such a green light, RPA, and it goes all the way here. It just stops here because we had stopped moving from here. Yes. But the trail network is one such thing that has gained the most attention in the eyes of the needs of 2022. People are searching for a place to run and cycle. And this will be a very useful trail network. It will be near Dog Park entrance door. It has a lot of demand. It is one of those things that people either want a lot or not at all. It comes in the form of a pickleball. Either they hate it or hate it. That's why it is an option. We would like to make one in the middle of the county, but it is definitely an option to make it here. It will be a court area. One of the two basketball courts is here, but it has to be changed to a racquet court and a basketball court has to be built again. Such things can be done in that area to build a fence. It is important to take the football fields here because we do not want to lose the supporting fields, but it is important to keep baseball and softball together and then there is also the possibility of adding some kind of facility there. I think we will be able to do this only after creating an entertainment center for the county and then whether we want to make an indoor programming space for dogs or not. Just for your information, Bhura Ghar is in the boundaries of the county. Currently, it is used for departmental storage. I have soil, soil, marking chalk and many such interesting things. So we are using it for some work. Not for much use, but at least it is doing something for us. Two more things that came up, the camping card. The name came and started the survey. It got a very good score. The advisory committee, me and the staff both asked if there was any lack in the survey, due to which these things went up. Because when we came back to Pathchhand and took the public's opinion for the second time, the camping did not get that much score. But we had said in the proposal that it should be used as an RV trailer and a tent and a possible cabin should be built on this side. This will be a facility through which we can earn some money, whether we drive it ourselves or rent it from outside. One thing with the park and entertainment is that all our activities are independent. You know that the County General Fund keeps the park and pays for full-time workers. But whatever activities we do, we use its payment. As you know, we pay on the basis of baseball and softball. We pay on the basis of soccer for the crowd. That money goes back and in the same way, we pay for new bases, fencing and other such things. It is a little difficult to fix fencing because it is a little expensive. But if we have a bad cage net that needs to be fixed or a netting for LCR or goals, then all this comes from our activity fund, whose payment is made by our users.
I think I got it.
So Charanbadh Vikas Yojana Park is based on the recommendation of the Manoranjan Salahkar Samiti and it is not a stone's throw. As our county is growing and changing, we need to arrange some of these priorities again. The current recommendation is that Bansfield be restored to its original state and that it be completed due to age and ADA issues. Parking and roads will be improved so that we can actually provide parking facilities and it can be made a little safer. In the second phase, dog parks, trails and ponds will be included in Barnesfield, which will include a picnic shelter and the possibility of building a ghat in the pond. Picnic shelter and playgrounds will be added in Wayside. In the third phase, athletic grounds in Barnesfield and a ghat will be built in Boardwalk and PTOIC in Wayside. And then in the fourth term, for Barn Street, Kheilkot, camping and entertainment will be available. For this plan, money is available from many sources. In the last five years, developers have provided a strong foundation for data center and Avasi development. By using those proposals as a local combination for Bhujal Sanrakshan Nidhi Anuradhan, our money can be doubled effectively. Karmachari Vith Varsh 28 ke liye Pooni Sudhaar Yoja mein Charan Ekko Shaamal Karne Ki Yoja Mera. Hum phir se ek Sports Staff Crew Leader ko. Vith Varsh 28 mein ek Karmachari Sadas ke Roop mein Humare Park Division Mein Shaamal Hone Ka Anurodh Karengai. Yeh Atrikt Pad Hamein Humare Parkon Ki Baddati Staff Ki Maang Ko Pura Karne Mein Madad Karega. Khas Kar Chau Hum Bounce Field Aur Visite Mein Suvidhain Jodh Rahe Hain. Last night, a member of the park and entertainment advisory committee sat down and one of them is discussing that the CIP that we had submitted for 2027 should be submitted so that we can start working on the one that will be submitted for 2028.
So, along with this, I will answer any of your questions.
Go ahead, Mr. Mafi.
What are you doing with the house on water?
This is so that we can use the house efficiently. So this is not easy under ADA. This is not what it is. And in the beginning of 2019, I met with a Vastu car in Fredericksburg. And at that time, for those eyes, their estimate was $100,000. So will it remain empty forever? It is obvious that the former county governor has used it as a residence for more than a year. Shree Smig has used it for about three months according to his family tradition from New Kent. Apart from this, we use laundry service. As you know, we use laundry for money and activities. We have such employees who go and eat their lunch there. Whether it's a worker or a general property worker, you just have to make sure that it's working properly. But yes, the general property had to step on it. They had to change their teeth. And then in the beginning of this spring, they found out that there was a sudden fall behind. What they found out, it seems that the post ground contact was not of pressure-treated wood. They were only of pressure-treated wood. And they were rotting. So yes, the general property has to be invested in the house for the maintenance of the house. But yes, apart from storage, it is not used much. Have we thought about selling it? Unfortunately, if we sell it for parks, we will have to give permission first. But the second part of the fund will go back to the Sanghiya government. There is no help in this. This was the last time we were told that the employees of National Education Service are not paying attention to this. And because of this, our MPs are not able to do anything. And in the end, what is the plan to find a way? So this is still in the works. I think you know. The ones on the entrance of the park are the most likely. I will go back to the jungle. Maybe it is possible. I am just asking because I have heard from many mothers that it will be good to have a shady place to put the children in the storeroom. And this is a goal that different places can be joined together. We also have a loop trail for the seal stone, so that we can take care of those parents when they go to practice. Thank you. So, have they already received the money for funding? Or is there any hope of receiving it through a future contract? Yes, that's proper money. Doe Grain Waste had a profit of $1 million during the first building permit. Green Energy Ventures had a profit of $1.3 million. In the development of Walnut Hill, every unit was of the same size. I don't have any information about the dollar.
Does anyone else want to ask a question?
I have a question. You can answer it. Great Nishad, you can answer it. Where there are roads, what is there now?
Is this bare land? This is bare forest land. There is something. If we look at the GIS map, there are some old farm roads or old property roads that are present. Some of them follow them. But yes, there is really nothing there. The park where it actually comes back here, it is actually present and connects with the lake. Okay. And I think you have answered it.
It is not possible to raise the house because of the national service. Oh, I am excited because I went to see it. And I am thinking about Rajasthan. And this is a great place for the people of Maryland to come. We can't pay the expenses of those who are coming from the street.
No, it is because this was Sanghi Bhoomi. This is for everyone forever.
And I just want to know that if some steps are not completed, then is it a temporary plan?
I think that our areas of development have been recognized to a great extent. You know, if we start thinking about camping after 5 years or 7 years and Lake Caledon property has adopted it and we know that the needs of camping are being fulfilled in the county, then we will go back and see again. Every five years, Park Rick analyzes advisory needs. Our next program is in two different sizes. Oh, so? I was just wondering if we could get help with this in camping. And this is a topic that we're not really sure about. You know, we're not really sure if this will happen here. Oh, and that's why we've kept this in the plan for now.
Thank you. Shripalawa.
Oh, the stand. Yeah. Do these George get money from this or from someone else? No, we give it on lease or let Little League use it to raise money for their programs. This is a part of our agreement with them. They provide some work and services in our fields. They help with the lining of the fields and other things like that.
I feel like I'm going to Sarvajanik Paani.
I'm going to a small town from there. Is this right? For this property, for Barnsfield, and for the Dog and Heritage Museum, the water comes from the Dog Naval Support Facility. This is not an easy task. Do we have to pay for it?
No, we have an internal government service agreement with them, where we do rent-free business for water.
And then I have a tip, and you might have already thought about it, but I think there are some rules for the roads and other things in the back of the old fields. I don't know what it is. Have we accepted it as part of the plan or not?
We just need to think about it. No, I have to do it.
Yes, I have to think about it. This is a good knowledge for someone who has been here for a long time. Thank you. I helped them sell that property. So, first of all, I would like to ask you personally and personally, Chris, that you have made a plan with the right people, so that you can get the right offer from the developers. Otherwise, you know, we can't accept anything. So, you know, it's good for you. And this is something that you must have heard in the last 15-20 years, emphasizing this board to every person who came to us during the time of CIP. So a very positive step. I think this is a very important opportunity. I think you have some problems in front of you, which you have to find out. This used to be a musical property. Before the 80s, when it was converted, it was completely government-owned. That is why I seriously doubt that there is any facility for it. Um, present, bathroom, and the one who serves the real estate stand, Pani Um, in my understanding, is now free of cost. Oh, there is a compromise that was made around 2000. This may have been applied before, so that a line can be tapped in the base run. A few minutes ago, in our conversation, you said that the current base is being pulled from the beginning and is not ready to give more than water. So this will be an issue that you will have to find out as you develop the field. You will have to give them water for their care. You take another Riyadh stand, water. You have to come from somewhere. So, I mean, this is a good start. And I give you a lot of good wishes to solve some of these issues. It is possible that you are fortunate and you get another CEO who is ready to give you more water. But I agree that it has been seven years since I came to the base, but when I was in the construction department there, So water was becoming a problem. And I think this is becoming a problem in the entire county. That's why digging a well cannot be a practical thought. So anyway, best wishes for this. And this is a very big step. Let's know today a benefit that was not there 40 years ago is that now the system of dogs and water has been expanded because now we are about a mile away from the sheet. Whereas I think that 40 years ago we were many miles away from the water of any county. So this has been a benefit. But as Shriyam of Engineering told me, every mile of running the lines of water and wastewater is about a million dollars. So yes. The good thing is that water is an issue for the entire county and I would be really surprised if the master plan or development plan does not try to address the issues of water. So maybe it will work for you. Any question?
Thank you.
I have a small question. With all the trails and camping grounds, has any law enforcement agency been advised for the safety of the trails? Especially keeping the youth in mind or including some of our teams, has any input been given about safety? We haven't gone very far on that.
But yes, we will definitely discuss it with the Sheriff's Office and the Agnishman Department. Thank you.
I just have a question and a tip. When you had developed this, did any traffic analysis have been done to increase the reach of this entire area? Are there still only two ways? And will there be two ways to come and go?
No, we have not done any traffic analysis, no traffic impact analysis or anything like that. We have discussed whether we will get the reach here or not and whether it will remain open. or will it remain open only for operations and I think it will depend on development and how it happens. Thank God that I do a lot of work related to transportation. So what to do to meet the people of Shreeman and Vought or to move forward with the planning district, you get a chance to work on this.
It is surprising that I still see a lot of traffic. I had thought that I would get help from the pool, but it is still very busy. Yes, and then my one more tip is that I remember when my husband was in Nausenaa and we were a family of four small children and we had to change the house. We used the campsite because Nausenaa will pay for a hotel room, but in most hotel rooms, there is no permission to stay for six people. If there is a campsite near Senri Pratishthan, the service members will benefit a lot. So I don't know if you can talk to them about this or not. There is no campsite at their base. And I have been to many county-operated campsites and they have been seen by me as some of the best campsites. So I support people to go out and do camping. And when families come to meet these young Navikos who are living in Dogrin, then the RV site or cabin or any other place to stay is always beneficial. But thank you for your presentation.
Yes, absolutely.
I really do not recommend it.
Did you want me to talk about that other topic? So Ms. Play has asked me to give some information about the Dalton Rear River Heritage Trail. And whatever I know is true. So Shri David Brickley, who is the owner of the trail, his LLC name is Reddswood Doe Hauzaan. Throughout his career, he has tried his best to make the trail a state-owned property. He is the former head of DCR and was a state representative from Prince William County. So he is the owner of the trail. He is working with DCR and Trust for Public Land and Friends Group. There has always been a doubt that William's family, who was the owner of the trail before Shri Brickley, had kept those rights with them or at least kept a large part of those rights with them. So they are working with Roger Williams on whether they can issue those rights through purchase or donation. So friends are working on this. Laurie Schlem, who is the head of the Friends Group, bought Lake Caledon. And even if there was not a single person in the state who could access that property, she was the main person. So they have done this before and that is why they are working in this direction. So in their last meeting, the board of legislators passed a resolution that they want to send a letter of support that yes, the board of legislators supports joining the trail in the Virginia State Park system.
So that's all I know.
I think you know that this is a very good aim. It is often used for entertainment in the county, which is often used for entertainment. It has its own benefits. You know, it has some interesting sides. You know, some people are against it. You know, there is a question about it because they have their own wealth on it. We have a gun club and some other things. And they ask all those questions. Now, we have a presentation from the chief administrator of the King George Service Authority, Dan Hamilton. Shubh Sandhya, friends. My name is Diana Milton. I am a member of the Service Authority and I am here to correct the record. I don't have any presentation for you. A few weeks ago, Kelly asked me if I could be a part of this meeting. And of course, I am happy to do so. But I don't have any presentation. I don't know what you wanted me to present. We have a short master plan that will be released next week. We are going to do a briefing on it at the board meeting. I can't present it to all of you before I present it to the board. It's about some regional issues related to water. I hope you can hear me. Okay. But I don't have any official address for you. If you want me to give an address on any topic, I'd be happy to. I'm here to answer your questions. I can either tell you about myself or about the issues related to water. How are we handling it? I might be able to give you some answers about trying to get water to that park. I've been here for almost a year. That's why I'm still learning about King George. I've been living in South Maryland for the rest of my life. That means we've been here for more than 50 years. I have been in this industry for almost 40 years. But still, I know that some of you have met me before. I want to see you again. And for all of you, it was nice to meet you. I have brought some cards. If you want, I can leave each and every card for you. You can email me anytime. You can call me on my cell phone anytime. Let me tell you, my business card has a county cell phone number and my personal phone has a county. And I promise you, I can't pick up the phone. But still, it was nice to meet you all. Do you want me to talk about water issues in the park?
I was going to say thank you for coming and we are mainly trying to get acquainted with all the activities going on in King George. Because the comm plan is about to be completed. We are looking for people who have the most information. So I think that for me, maybe everyone should give an update about the Service Authority, that what is it, what does it do? We should give an explanation of the changes that have taken place in the last few years and maybe according to you, our limits and capabilities are going to increase.
Again, I wanted to give you a presentation, so please forgive me if I am not as organized as I should be. But in any case, I believe that the Service Authority was established in 1992. I believe that our current President is behind this, and if I make a mistake, he can probably correct me. And as far as I know, and since I have been here, it has become clear that in the beginning of 1990, the service authority had been made by several developers. And unfortunately, developers used to do things in a very ordinary way, especially 30, 40, 50 years ago. Create a system that provides water instead of personal wells, or possibly a water supply system that depends on what is in the property and there can be a septic system on the site. And there can be a septic system on the site. So you have a lot of old systems here that have been in service for more than three decades. And many of those useful lives have ended without having enough food in that basic diet. Otherwise, it has never been made according to that principle, the way we make things today. Let me tell you clearly that there are two religious laws that control our work. And I consider myself a universal health activist. I am a universal health activist. I take clean water very seriously. And there are a lot of people who don't even know that the water you buy in a bottle in 7-Eleven doesn't fall on that tank. The water that comes from your own well is not checked and it doesn't fall on those tanks. So there are two laws. The first is the Safe Paysal Adenium, which I think was passed in 1973. It implements those laws that decide how we operate the water supply and irrigation systems. If you are a customer of the King George Service Program, then all the water you get in the county is sewage. The second law is the Clean Water Act, which implements the use of clean water in our current water treatment systems. It has reached the county at this time, although its number will soon be 4. I will come back to this. But it implements those things as well, such as the need for permits to return water to the surface or to leave it in groundwater, but the surface water, i.e. the PTOIC river So, again, technically, there are nine types of Sarvajanik. Now, we have combined three of them and made seven. So, there was a courthouse system, and then there was a circle system, which was small, and then there was another Canterbury. These three have been joined together in the past 12 to 24 months or they are now working as a system. We are still working with Viraji because you get permits for each well and for each system. And now when we have added a small system to a big system, we will have to add those permits. But now instead of 9 systems, we have 7 systems left. I want to say that Fairview Beach, PTOIC landing, St Paul Church, Owains, Togrin, NOS system, which is a very small system on the other side of 301. Am I forgetting someone else? Sea Cathy and Courthouse. So I think they are together. And then there are five Apshesh Chajal centers, which serve five different groups of people. There is one at the Perkins corner behind the Park and Recycling Center. There is a big water tank in the Hop Yard. There is one in Oakland Park, which is the other water source. I forgot. I think this is basically an audio park. And there is one in Fairview Beach. Did I mention the name of the water tank or just the name? I think I forgot one. Anyway, the Perkins tank is being shut down. And this is being done with a compromise with the state of Virginia. It was really not working properly. I don't think it is necessary that it should be made properly. And within the last week, we have cut off the last parts of the customers, such as the courthouse and the sheets. I mean the new courthouse, in which we are still getting water supply in the Perkins Centre, it has been stopped. We have for the organization, There are probably two or three, and there is a connection. All the water is now being pumped into the hop yard system, which has gained a lot of modernization and innovation in the last year. We have to use one more system. So in the future, we will have only four water systems. And then the next system is going to be closed. Also, we have not been pressured by the state to do this, but this is going to happen in the near future. The system will have to be shut down in Oakland Park and then it will have to be connected to the hop yard system. So we will only stay on three. This will not reduce the capacity. We will increase the capacity of all the wastewater systems so that it can be ensured that they can reproduce the existing wastewater. And what do we expect in terms of development? Now let's come back to the water aspect, which I believe is more important. I am sure that a person cannot live without water for more than three days. You can live without food for 30 days. You will need water. And as I said, it is safe to drink water. We check more than 90 chemical substances in our water every year. Some are checked every day, some every week, and some every month. This is difficult. I don't want to bore you with all this today. But if you are interested, I would like to give you more information. I will again say that we are very serious about this. This is a public health issue. We have old distribution systems. Sometimes these systems get leaked, which have been happening for a long time. Now we have a powerful program where we find such pits, keep an eye on them, correct them, correct them, and their records are unfortunately not good. In the last month and a half, we have received many calls about the pits in front of the library. We don't want people to call us and say that they don't think there is a water problem because we can't see anything. However, there is an air-conditioning problem there and they are using a sprinkler to keep the library open and the chiller on. And until the park is repaired, the water will keep flowing from the side of the road. And even today we got a call and it's been two months. So anyway, there are 9 portable water systems. We will soon be together, technically together. I am hoping to combine the Dog, St Paul Church and Owain system. This can happen in the next 12 months. Walnut Hill was a proffered in Okhand in which a pump station was included, which will help to connect those two systems together. Again, these things have to be taken care of carefully. We have to install new pipes, then flush the pipes, then sterilize the pipes, then test the pipes, then submit the results in the lab. We have to make sure that they are accepted, then we have to make sure that they are accepted, then we have to make sure that they are accepted, then we have to make sure that they are accepted, then we have to make sure that they are accepted, then we have to make sure that they are accepted, then we have to make sure that they are accepted, then we have to make sure that they are accepted, then we have to make sure that they are accepted, then we have to make sure that they are accepted, then we have to make sure that they are accepted, then we have to make sure that they are accepted, then we have to make sure that they are accepted, then we have to make sure that they are accepted, then we have to make sure that they are accepted, then we have to make sure that they are accepted, then we have to make sure As far as the main issues are concerned, I would like to say that if you don't know about this, then last week there was a Senate report or Senate Bill 25, I think this is the report, which Virginia had to issue today in January, which has been going on for the past two years. I think from the Pariyar-Gulwatta department, they are keeping a very careful eye on the use of water in the eastern part of Virginia. Let's assume that the eastern part of Virginia is called the water-based area, but basically take everything from 95, which is towards the southeast. And in the East, if you look at the ocean, this is all land. And not only in Virginia, but also in Maryland, we are pulling water from the reservoirs. And there have become some big industries. The level of water is falling in those reservoirs. The state manages it through a water-free permit. It is necessary to have a water-free permit for every well that is dug there. And it is obvious for the community of Sarvajani wells that they are big. It is more expensive to make them. I'm not trying to be a politician, but this is a scientific fact. And with two paper mills, Virginia is using about 35% of its control in the state. I don't want to say that there are those without permission, but there are those who have not been examined. But still, if you are going to dig a well, you will have to take a permit from the Department of Health, you will have to take a permit from the Department of Health. Okay, for a new house, and you are not in the water. We are using about 30% of the available water. The remaining is about 26%, which is being used by the hydrogen water plants. We are currently trying to reintroduce 5 water-free permits for those 7 plants, about which I am talking. There were 9 earlier. And we are basically being told that there is not much water left and definitely the data center is a big topic of discussion about which everyone is concerned. I don't want to be political about the data center as a person. I understand that there is a small county in Maryland where I live, which is facing this problem. If you don't bring new development or new industries and get money from those houses, and you want to improve services, and you want to repair old water pipes and old parks and other things, then you are trying to make that money right. So you are trying to make that money right. That's why this is a comparison. And I want to decide about this. I am not here. I am here. My goal, my purpose is again that politics should never be dominated by environmental health. We need to be very careful about using zoning. It is necessary to decide where water and sewage goes. Environmental water and environmental sewage means that we can control it. It means that there will be fewer holes in the ground, which are the cause of pollution. And it means that we can put some influence on that place where development is happening. And we are constantly developing in the dog area. And we are constantly hoping for development in the dog area. We see every big development and are involved in discussions and have had the opportunity to study design on some small projects. I can't see every house. We don't have the staff for this. This is another issue of self-preservation, you know. To build our workers and to solve our problems. We are currently studying buildings. I don't know if this has ever been done as a worker. Basically, we have one of the agrarian specialists in Virginia and the entire Middle Atlantic that is currently working on this. If you see our Darshan Archana online, then you will see that every 1000 gallons are being valued at $1. For Avasi customers and for Varanasi customers, every 1000 gallons are being valued at $1. This is the same value and there is no division for the auditor. And we hear from people all the time that we are paying more for water than anywhere else in the East. I can tell you that this is not true. But we want to make it right. We want to keep the cost low. We are not seeing that you know, someone has to be deprived of the cost of medicine because they have to pay for water. But water and fresh water are expensive. And the constantly passing rules are becoming more and more strict. To test things, to make practical techniques, for the treatment of things, technique and money are not necessarily equal. And this is expensive. And we are also increasing water selection. And we are also increasing water selection. People are using less water, which is making us have less water. Therefore, education will help us to solve this. It will help us to benchmark with other local users of the same size. You cannot compare us to Maryland, where I used to work before, which had 2 million customers. Obviously, this is a very big foundation to spread these values. That's why we're looking at all those things and I'm here to try to communicate with you. Obviously, how do you want to develop your county and what is being made of it affects what we try to do in terms of water availability for development. But at the same time, we cannot say that there is no problem in building 250 houses here. If the pipes are not very big and there is not enough water in the wells and the state does not allow us to dig the wells, then there will be a problem for us. And now we are in the final competition. They have basically asked us to see Rapanik as Sati Jalsrod. Also, there is a lot of concern for water supply. For example, in the last few winters, there was a lot of water pollution in the Batoik river. Do you want to go under it? Do I want to go under it and clean it? Do I want to stop drinking until you have water for a week, when we let it pass? We use Rapanik, but what is it? Fredericksburg. The same problems. And definitely wants to build on the other side of the Amazon hop yard. And they have old power plant property on Rapanik with a water emission permit. Are we competing with Amazon for that water? I hope that this will not happen. My goal is to try to keep everyone on their feet. To keep these practices intact. I really hope that we will do something. We can come up with a modern technique that will help in this. For example, recharging water. These are things that will take 10, 15, 20 years to be fully implemented. And I doubt that I will stay here. I hope that if I am alive, I will be able to serve. My goal is, as I said, to protect the practical resources, to protect the health of everyone. About a month ago, we had the desire to boil water in the oven. I know that no one wants me to accept it. We couldn't fix it as soon as possible. So the tank got empty. And the rule says that if the pressure is reduced by 20 psi for a certain period of time, then you have to take everything out and get it lab tested, which takes 24 hours. Only then can you be allowed to drink water again. So we did the same. And let me tell you, I worked for a system that had 2 million rakhs. I worked in this business for a long time. It was the first time in my career when I talked about boiling water. I didn't like it. But first we have to protect your health. So I have talked a lot. I will say that I think that as Chris has mentioned, there is a water line up to Sheets and I think that the number of dry ice is a little less. I think I gave him a million dollar number every meal. Nothing is getting cheaper. But I think we will have the ability to provide water to the park. There will be no water for irrigation. I can guarantee you that. We will never get water to cool the data center, at least as long as I'm here. I don't think that Virginia will give them a permit to dig a well with the same water that we are using to cool the data center. It's not going to happen. They will have to use Sati Jal or Bandh Loop Pranali or something else. And there are other techniques. The second data center in Togen Waste is talking about one thing. 100% water is a positive strategy. Their goal is to give the environment more water than it actually needs. And I think this is a great goal and I believe that they are really committed to it. So water is a big thing. I have been in this business for a long time and I knew that it was going to come. Everyone in the West is concerned about fresh water and can you get water to drink from the fire hydrant? Do we need another plant for fresh water? See what is happening here. This is the time. There is a fight. I definitely recommend it. And this is a very difficult topic and I have to say that you have touched many different areas and I am sure that it will take me some time to understand it better and to send you more questions. I would say that I think that we would like to know that Are there areas in the county where we know that we have the capacity to expand? And are there areas in the county where we know that we will not be able to serve for the next 20 to 25 years? And today I am not asking you to answer that question, but if you do not have any objection, then there are such things. As I said, we are not even trying to get 5 permits. Crater Cote House System is one. Dugrain-Owens is another. St. Paul Church is one. Oakland Park is one. And Ombai Beach. PTOIC landing. Of the areas I just mentioned, we are definitely recommending them. And from my point of view, it is clear that Doga is the area where we hope for development. We know that Mary Washington Hospital Center is planning to expand its campus. How far is the nearest Apat Kalinkash from here? Are you going to LLA or Fredericksburg to go back from my house? Do you want more? I also know that they need voice. I have seen their proposal. It is clear that they are hoping to work in the endocrine sector and that people will come. The obvious thing is that there will be an increase in the business of SIAB. That is why we are hoping that by the end of this year, we will get the answer to the request for a new permit to remove water from Rajya. We have allowed for the final development in other areas on the basis of our previous announcement. And again, we are making a 15-year permit. I don't know what is going to happen after 10 years. I know that three data centers are being built. I know that we are not giving them more for cooling. But you know who knows. That's why we try our best. But again, I will leave a business card for all of you. Again, if you want more information, then again, I don't want to bore you. I will try to answer your questions. I can tell you that my degree is in agriculture. I am from Virginia and Maryland. I have a deep connection with water resources. This is something on which I have worked my whole life. So, you know, I know what is happening with Bhojel there, at least in the field of reason. I don't want to say that I am a specialist. But if I am a specialist in something, then maybe that's it. And we are trying to do the right thing with the resources.
This is very good. Does anyone else have any questions? Ask, Ms. Mona. I am very happy because you talked about your jealousy. And I know that this is not stable. I don't mean that I should do something, but this is very possible. The discussions that came up a few weeks ago from the DAQ, What will be the change in the future of your plan? And thank you for coming here at such a delicate time.
No, it's okay.
We will do all your work. Oh, I have to tell you that if you had asked me 20 years ago, if I had been standing in front of the political plan groups and talking about competition with data centers, who are concerned about AI for water, then it would have been far from my mind. But let me make it clear, the next week's surface water master plan, which will be officially launched, was written when I came to the board. I gave it some final tips, but I think I don't want to speak on behalf of the board or the people who worked in service management before me, but I think they had no other option but to make a plan for Rappahannock. And if we are going to extract water from Rapaanik, then let me tell you right now, we are talking about at least $100 crore to install a surface water treatment plant there. And I'm telling you a large number, but we don't have $100 million. In any way, I'm not going to get $100 million. Not in any way. Nothing from the state. Not only that, there is a lot of expense to run these things. I believe, and where I have worked before, On the other hand, the government usually does not allow the government to contact the public for such resources. That is why I am hoping to have another discussion with the DQ. So, the water master plan that you will see coming up, has some very important points. There are water sanctions and regulations. We need to find out where they are. We need to develop irrigation programs. We have people who are making bitter complaints because they are paying for their grass to be sown in the beginning of the year. And I understand this because it's not going to the sewers, but I can't give you a meter for free. And then I can't take that money from Rajasthwa Surat, which is the current budget. Again, less water is pumped, less water is made, we have less money to work. And nothing is cheap. No electricity, no electricity, none of this. You know. So this is one. This is a complicated work. I hope that we will come up with some new techniques together with Rajji. It is possible that we can increase some of these data centers so that they can help us in acquiring and recharging. And we can put a positive impact on the water level. If you read that report in the evening, and I don't want to talk too much. So for the past 20 to 30 years, there has been a continuous fall in the water level and strict monitoring is being done on it. The US Geological Survey monitors it on the entire eastern coast and the Atlantic coast. Virginia was also doing the same. But when the paper mills closed in 2010, it stopped. In fact, the water started to rise again. So much so that one of their machines that measures the earth's elements, you must have heard people say that the sea level is not increasing by 10. Anyway, I'm trying to talk about politics here, but trust me, both are happening. In one of their machines, a piece of steel turned into a shock. In a few years, the earth began to rise. Now I'm talking about millimeters, but the effect of paper mills is the same. They will have to do something. They will have to find some other source of water. In my opinion, I am not an MP. I am not a politician. I am just saying that we should not participate in this. So this is the plan. It will need to be updated every five years. I hope that the surface water word will be removed from this and it will be made a water master plan. To be honest, we can reach the point where we will have to use water for fire hydrants. You know, people don't think about it yet, but this water is only passed in the drinking water act test and its cost is very high. And when you spray it on your lawn or put it on your house, believe me, I don't want your house to burn. It's very expensive. It's a shame. For the last 32 years, people have been doing this. In Arizona, people have businesses that give their lawn green because you can't give them water. This is illegal. We haven't reached there yet, but we'll reach there. I don't know if I'll get an answer to your question.
I'm trying. Okay, Sri Kendra.
Mr. Hamilton, I support our chairman's voice. I congratulate you on your arrival tonight. It's a pleasure. I found this very educational in these few minutes. I don't hesitate to face the challenges that you are facing. There is enough input from your organization in the upcoming scheme. I am happy to do so. Yes, it seems that it is going to be one of the main inspiration forces of the scheme. I would like to tell you that the biggest complaint I get from people is that when they get their service provider bill, then... Ranshark, it's gone. Now it's written half and half. And I regret it. Okay, you did a good thing. Whoever did it, they did a good job of hiding it. We won't hide it. I don't want to interrupt you, but you go ahead. You still have a lot of debt on you, which you are repaying, right? So yes, I can tell you that out of our $10 million budget, we spend $2.5 million every year. I can also tell you that on the basis of a study conducted in the Washington metropolitan area, the unemployment rate is 26-30% for water and wastewater. We are below this level. 20 years ago, someone gave it the name of debt relief. This is my opinion, but the chair is here and I think she will support me. It was not directly related to the loan. It was just a reasonable number, whose calculation was done in the application, which has been deducted. If you look at all the other utilities that come from here in the range of 100 miles, and I know most of them, and maybe I work for some of them, then they do not have a loan loan. They have a loan basis. And you pay for that basis. Based on the basis of the Fundamental Funding and Welfare Improvement Program, which we do not have. And I am working on it too. But I have a lot to do. Anyway, I know that this is a common complaint, and to tell the truth, Every day in my office, both are answered on the phone, and I have been paying attention to it since the first year. I mean, this is Mirjaya's nature. But I listen to the number of calls from people. New customers say, what is this? Or they are saying, I don't want to pay any more debt. We should not pay any more debt. Okay, you can't throw money by buying a water treatment plant worth 30 million, right? You have to keep it for 30 years. This can be a matter of opinion. This is an opinion and I am trying to encourage you and give you good wishes. And I am explaining to those residents who kept looking at the owner's bill and then it suddenly disappeared, but their bill did not decrease and no one came. And to be honest, I don't expect people's bills to decrease. I hope that once, when we have an organic and an industrial crop, then their grains can grow and their sound grains can decrease, and this is again the basis. Along with sugarcane, it will also be seen in every thousand sugarcane. Again, if you look at all other uses, it is usually done in this way. Certainly, tonight your conversation has assured me that this is a lot of medicine, and your conversation has also assured me that it is not going to be cheaper, that it is not going to be cheaper, it is not like that. Your ideas are going to be expensive. And I will become a crystal and tell the rest of the people, how much do you pay for cable and internet? Do you need it to live? You need this water. And you need to keep it clean. You need to keep it clean. And we will have to pass the rules for this. I can't say it directly. That's why I think I will encourage the president and the county to run a public contact campaign to explain this. Maybe not now, but as we work on some of these projects that you are talking about, As the days go by, I guarantee you that if I have to say something and I am sure that the chair will agree that we are going to do a survey, where we are going to invite people to come and give us input, number one and number two. Listen to the proposal, listen to the benchmarking so that they can understand that, oh, okay, okay. In TAFOD, this is only 4,000 knowledge, but they send bills every month. Then if you look at their base rate and calculate it, then what we are actually paying is not much more than that. Again, we can have 400,000 customers. These are all things that affect it. By the way, one more thing about this is that I am working on this. I have already worked on this a little bit, but we are going to do some outreach in school. We want to teach children. I did this with Boy Scouts a few months ago, or I should say Cube Scouts. I hope these are the right words. And I got an inquiry from an industrial scientist from King George High School. And this is something that I have done before, which I have done before. I want to reach these children in schools and teach them. You know why we don't throw things in the sink? Why don't we throw things in the sewer? That water is so important. They will teach us. I mean, my children helped me teach them about recycling. 40 years ago, no one used to recycle or very few people. Now I can't throw away the soda can. If it's not for recycling, then I'll take them home and recycle them there. But still, I understand what you're saying. I know that there's a difficult story about Seva Pradikaran and Seva Pradikaran has been dealt with with some harsh hands. You know, unfortunately, 30 years ago, someone should have felt the situation of some obstacles and that there was no way to keep it under control. And as I said, it's going to take more time than my possible work to solve all those problems. But I am hoping to take a U-turn at least. I will come with a better story and make sure that we are getting advice from the right people who are seeing the way Shetri is working at this level and we need to discuss it with other countries as well. Chairbinder told me the other night that they pay a lot of attention to things. 4,000 houses in Hopiad Park, Caroline, are being considered. What do you think, where will the water come from? This is the same thing. We all have to come together and find out if Bhujal can handle it. We have to make a surface water plant. The three counties together should do it. I don't know.
But we are focusing on these things tonight.
I thank you for coming. I hope I am not saying too much. I wish you and the authority to move forward. About mail, about how to write a letter, about KG Alert, about any bad message. I welcome your input at any time. Again, there is a lot and we don't have enough people. And it will take some time, but we will reach there. Okay.
And any questions?
Before that, take a business card. Okay.
Thank you very much.
Okay?
Thank you. So, our new work ends here, and now the staff report. Thank you, Mr. Mohodia, and thank you both for coming. It was very informative for the staff as well. The staff report has been attached at the end of the packet. If you have any questions, let me know. I will come to the next item. for September. I believe that we are going to do region zoning for the Barry family. This is also under the staff consultation, but no one is worried about it. Therefore, it is expected that it will be kept in the agenda of the Health and Human Services Commission in September. And then I also want to tell you that the Gibson Solar Project Special Exception has come back. Some of you may not know about it. This was a very big solar project that had passed through a special emergency permit process a few years ago. This was before I started my work here. I completed it and rejected the board of the last three participants. So before submitting again, they had to wait for a year and the project order changed a little. But they have given their last application. I got the things I was waiting for last week. So this is now under the staff meeting. But basically the same proposal is on small orders. That is why they would like to present it in front of you all in September. They are not ready for public hearing yet, but they would like to present it. And I know that IJ's plans are in touch with the authorities. Let's see if there is any question. I am with you on that agenda. Do you want to discuss anything with the Board of Directors? I know that none of us have run away. None of us. Oh, yes, the board was here last Monday and the EPR advisors were here to present the development plan and further work plan. I am not sure where we are going to go from here, but there was some discussion about the operation committee. And will it be a new operation committee or is the planning committee going to do it? So there is still some conversation going on that we will have to do on the board level. Oh, I can tell you that this is an interest form, which is similar to your interest to include the plan on the county website. If someone is interested in serving in the Management Committee, then all of you are going to be fully involved in this, but we are. We hope that at least two plans will be included in the Management Committee. As of now, this is the plan, so I only know this much. Last week, everyone went to a national meeting, so since they have come to the board meeting, I have not had a chance to meet them. Thank you. Any other questions for the officials?
I have a question.
Go ahead, Mr. Kendrick.
I believe that the public and the residents of the county should get a lot of input. But I am afraid that the operation of the residents of the county, running a committee or being in charge of it, Because I mean, we can't be the most knowledgeable people in the world, but I guarantee you that we are more knowledgeable than those people who would like to comment on this.
Any other questions?
I have 301 right now. One question is, there is a lot of cleaning going on there. And it seems like this is a business plan. I've heard that this is going to happen. It's a go-kart track, but I don't know if this is true or not.
I think it's on the screens.
McDaniel property.
I think it looks like this could happen.
Lucy. He has submitted a land-use permit, which he has received to clean, and has planned to make a playground, cage, and playground. Although he has not yet submitted his administrative site permit, They have not even sent the development committee. So, I hope that next time when we meet you, we will know more about this. Okay, that's good.
Is there any place where people can go and see what is the online permit or how do you know this? Some people called me and asked questions.
That's right. So, the county is actively working to update the developer. This is not updated until we actually have a site plan for any project. That's why if people get a land development permit, it is not automatically updated in the land development viewer. Because, honestly, most of the time it is only for cleaning or water. So, the best way would be to call and ask, as you did. Okay. Thank you very much. But once we get their site plan, it will definitely be there.
It looks like a great project. Yes, thank you.
Next, Mr. Moffat.
You are talking about the place where they were burning trees on the side of the road.
You don't have this.
This has been posted on it. Thank you. I don't see any report of the committee. Oh, under the commission report, I just wanted to tell you that I... I am discussing the Kamp Plan with the employees. I met Keli and Shri Moulinik and I am in contact with the Board of Directors and we will respectfully wait for their decision in which direction they want to go. But in the meantime, I just want to tell you that you keep checking your emails regularly. I know because we didn't have any meeting, so I called everyone and told them what is going on with the Board of Supervisors. And I have no objection to doing this, but just make sure that you are checking your email. When you are talking to people, make them producers. We want to ensure that everyone knows that we are eager and eager to help you. And this is true. It is time to ask questions to your co-workers and neighbors. Listen to them, find out what they are worried about. We want to become the most knowledgeable member of the county. And that's why I request you to move forward and start reaching out to people and keep this in mind in the coming months and years. So, that's all I have for the mission report. Anyone else? Oh, there's no other work in the future. So, next meeting and statement. Anyone?
Statement. All parties?
I am not against it. I wish you all the best.
