“Thank you, Andrea. I will note, I believe that the time period to file to be an intervener has passed, and I say that because I was briefed along with a colleague of mine very recently about this very issue, and the information that we were given was that that deadline has already passed, so there can be no formal, we cannot join the case as formal interveners. I hear you, though, on something other than that being a possibility, whether collectively or individually, and I know that those conversations are being had, so thank you.”

“Thank you, and I did ask that your email be responded to once I read it. So thank you. I get a lot of emails regarding this development because 3CHOP does abut Goochland County. I want to reassure you that we have been involved, and this is not just isolated to me, but I can speak for myself. I attended and spoke at the Goochland board meeting in opposition when they were considering it. They passed it. We went and our voices were heard. I was there until I think almost midnight that night. Went to many, have gone to many meetings in Hanover County on their cases that they've considered there…”

“Ms. I'm looking for help, too, in that, I mean, literally, we can't, for example, impose a noise ordinance on an industry or a business that is located in another county. There have been discussions. I actually was speaking to a colleague on the Goochland board at a plan RVA meeting not long ago about, you know, is there something that can be done at the state level to mandate discussions across county lines when it is a project that is going to have an impact, whether it's a data center or, you know, a mechanic shop or anything like that. And so I think that that is gaining more popularity…”

“Yeah, and we saw this in Hanover. We had a lot of, well, both counties, we had a lot of Henrico residents that showed up at both meetings. What I always kind of caution my Henrico folks is to be there, but let those residents be the voices, lead the conversation, because frankly, the electeds are going to listen the most to people that are casting ballots for or against them. But I think that both in Goochland and in Hanover, their residents very much appreciated the fact that Henrico residents filled up a lot of seats there. So if it is a project that is in a neighboring locality, my…”

“Yes, sir. Can I just say one thing, and I meant to say this to Scott, the presentation about the fire marshal. That was long and detailed, and I was intrigued by all of it. And I just wanted to say what I pulled out of that was investigative integrity and due process. And as a lawyer, that means a lot to me, because what that means is regardless, and I know that investigation with SWIM-RVA yielded that it was an accident. been the other way it could have been that somebody was found to be culpable for it whatever the result was what you guys did and the way that you do it meant that the…”

“I have a couple. I'd like the record to reflect I've been silent all meeting, saving up my time for this issue. All right, so I've looked at the proposed ordinance, kind of compared it to the state statute, and I note, you know, one, Virginia Code 46.2-882.1 does, it's fairly broad. It's broader than what we're proposing here, specifically that that particular statute allows multiple places where these cameras can be, be implemented, including highway work zones, high-risk intersections, pedestrian crossings to monitor for jaywalking, as well as stop sign violations. So relatively speaking,…”

“That's correct. And the scope of this is speeding in school zones very narrowly.”
Board of Supervisors · Sep 8, 2026

“Now, this does not expand the definition of a school crossing zone in any way. And it's, to be fair, the code definition of a school crossing zone is fairly ambiguous. It doesn't say like a meters or distance or anything. It's basically any area where it's necessary to protect children going to and from school.”
Board of Supervisors · Sep 8, 2026

“Okay. Would it be consistent with existing school crossing zones?”
Board of Supervisors · Sep 8, 2026

“Okay. I didn't see in here where the hours of ticketing would take place.”
Board of Supervisors · Sep 8, 2026
- Play at 1:39:47
“Would it generally be an hour before, an hour after, or two hours before, two hours after? It would be tied only to school start and end?”
Board of Supervisors · Sep 8, 2026

“So basically what's in place now as far as when the lights are flashing, would be consistent with the hours that these cameras would be operational?”
Board of Supervisors · Sep 8, 2026
- Play at 1:41:48
“Okay. And so when school is not operational during summer, things like that, or I guess maybe when summer school is in. So I say that to say this is not going to expand when the school zone lights are flashing just because we're installing these cameras. It's going to be consistent with what has always been the law for additional fines in a school zone?”

“And when they validate it, they're validating it with what?”
Board of Supervisors · Sep 8, 2026

“Okay. So somebody with the vendor is laying eyes on the photo, checking it with DMV, passing that information on to HPD. Somebody on HPD is laying eyes on it, verifying the photo, verifying the light, checking the DMV registration.”

“Okay. And then a summons is issued, and I believe it said that – a summons has to be issued within 30 days from the violation. Is that right?”

“All right. So, the statute provides that it doesn't have to be served by the sheriff. The summons can be mailed, and I assume that that would be the practice that is employed. And then there's a court date. If the person no-shows for that court date, they don't get issued a show cause or anything like that, that then causes a second letter to be sent. Is that correct?”
Board of Supervisors · Sep 8, 2026
- Play at 1:45:13
“Now, if that second court date is missed, then I would say kind of one of the heavy-handed portions of this is DMV is then instructed to put a hold on renewing the vehicle registration. Okay.”

“Okay. Is there some way that me... I don't necessarily pay a whole lot of attention to the mail that comes to my house all the time. Do we have control over whether there's special annotations on the envelope or something that calls people's attention to the envelope to say this is something you need to not just toss?”
Board of Supervisors · Sep 8, 2026

“Yeah, it's actually part of the state statute is that it's specifically said you have to put it on your social media, you have to put it on your website, also including, I think, a link to the vendor. Is this something where there has to be like an RFP to a vendor and a competitive bid process, or how is the vendor selected?”
Board of Supervisors · Sep 8, 2026
- Play at 1:47:04
“Okay. And so how have we already identified a vendor that is preferred?”
Board of Supervisors · Sep 8, 2026
- Play at 1:47:11
“Okay. none of them is flock, right? So, how do we know with a level of confidence that the vendor that is being selected is a vendor that is trustworthy?”
Board of Supervisors · Sep 8, 2026

“Okay. And so the distinguishing feature of these cameras is that it is all local and in-house. So it is limited strictly to Henrico County Police and the vendor.”
