A. Salem City School Board Hold a public hearing and receive views of citizens and candidates regarding the
appointment to fill the expiring terms for Nancy Bradley and Teresa Sizemore-Hernandez
(as advertised in the September 2, 2021, issue of the Salem-Times Register.)
Mayor Turk opened the public hearing.
Nancy Bradley, 700 Beech Road, addressed Council first. She thanked City Council for the
opportunity to serve on the Salem City School Board and stated that it had been an honor and a
privilege to serve her community in this capacity. She acknowledged the deep sense of loss that
was felt without the presence of Dr. Michael Chiglinsky and the support that she felt from him
in the past. She thanked Council for the appointment of Teresa Sizemore-Hernandez to fill the
unfinished term of Dr. Chiglinksy and commented that in a short period of time, and with a
steep learning curve, she had become an integral and welcome member of the School Board.
Dr. Bradley specifically cited her professional knowledge and parent perspective as assets in
planning for in person learning, accepting the retirement of Dr. Alan Seibert, and the
appointment of Dr. Curtis Hicks to the position of Division Superintendent. She continued to
talk about the challenges that had been faced due to COVID over the past eighteen months and
the accomplishments and successes that had occurred during this time. She stated how her
background qualified her to serve on the School Board and asked Council for the opportunity
to continue to serve in this capacity.
Alisa Burns, 2177 River Oaks Drive, spoke next on behalf of Dr. Nancy Bradley. She stated
that she has served as a math teacher and tutor and is currently serving as one of the
instructional coaches working with secondary students in grades six through twelve in support
of students. She also is a parent of two students that attend West Salem. Ms. Burns stated that
the perspective of Nancy Bradley as a parent and as an educator is invaluable to our School
Board. She has known Dr. Bradley for about twenty years in the community but has gotten to
know her better as she taught two of her three children. She pointed out that they took
different paths through school and how this contributes to her perspectives. Dr. Bradley is a
former teacher, a teacher of teachers, and a parent of a teacher. She believes that Dr. Bradley's
experiences and perspective are especially valuable as we work to close social and academic
gaps.
Judith Painter, 1671 Kings Mill Drive, stated that she has been an eighth-grade teacher at
Andrew Lewis for fifteen years. She has been in four different school districts over the past
Item #4B
Date: September 27, 2021
thirty years. She stated that it was wonderful to work under the leadership of Dr. Chiglinsky
and Dr. Bradley as they felt that they were there to listen to the teachers. she commented that
she taught all three of Nancy's children; therefore, she knew her as a parent in the schools. She
said that Nancy is a lifelong educator and she mentioned experiences with her in her capacity
of working with pre-service teachers and the importance of supporting new educators. Ms.
Painter stated that Dr. Bradley embodies the spirit of the Salem education system of "a great
education for all." She recommended that City Council select Nancy Bradley for the School
Board.
Deirdre Stevens, 528 Academy Street, was the fourth speaker to address Council on behalf of
Nancy Bradley. She stated that she is a healthcare worker. She has known Nancy Bradley as a
friend for sixteen years and stated that she felt the greatest gift Dr. Bradley has been that she is
a great referee, a great mediator, and a great listener. She also shared that the importance of
listening and not making decisions right away were assets that she contributes. She remarked
that the choice of Curtis Hicks for superintendent was a good one.
Pastor Hilton Jeffreys, 2125 Stone Mill Drive, appeared before Council. He shared that he has
been here in the community for about fourteen years as a Pastor and has known Teresa
Sizemore-Hernandez for about thirteen years. He said that Teresa is a very strong supporter of
her community and schools. He met her when she was a PTA president at South Salem.
Through her leadership she has helped to facilitate provision of bookbags, school supplies, and
shoes for several of the Salem schools to struggling families. He admires that Teresa cares
about the kids and the wellbeing of Salem. He commented that Teresa will be one of the few
candidates that will always put the kids first.
Teresa Sizemore-Hernandez, 309 Orchard Street, was the next speaker to address Council.
She thanked Mayor Turk and Council for allowing her to speak again. She stated that they
know her, and she is available to answer questions later. She thanked Council for the
opportunity to serve out the remainder of Dr. Chiglinsky's term. She commented on the
challenges that have been faced by the School Board during her first two months and what a
strong, supportive group that the School Board is and how nice it is to see that this is a group
that works together and considers all sides. She mentioned how busy and informative her first
three months have been, but that it has confirmed for her that she is where she wants to be.
Ms. Sizemore-Hernandez requested that Council appoint her again for a full term so that she
can continue to serve and make a positive impact. She feels that with the loss of Dr.
Chiglinsky and his wife and is also in the middle of a transition to a new superintendent and
now is not the time for a lot of changes. Reappointing her as well as Dr. Bradley will give the
Board the opportunity to continue working together through this pivotal transition time. As
the only Board member that is a parent of a current City of Salem school student, she is very
well connected with the parents and teachers in Salem. She also commented that because of
the different perspectives she has with her own children that has a lot to offer on the
vocational side. She commented on how the demographics in Salem are changing and
becoming much more diverse. Her current position has given her experience in working with
diverse groups of people.
Macel Janoschka, 200 Bentwood Court, began by thanking the teachers that were present for
all that they had done during COVID. She also thanked Dr. Hicks and Dr. Seibert for returning
Item #4B
Date: September 27, 2021
the students to school. She asked that Council reappoint Teresa Sizemore-Hernandez to the
School Board for a full term and stated that Teresa has proven that she is committed to the
school system. Ms. Janoschka remarked that Teresa is not afraid to ask questions when she
needs clarification, and she has taken the time to meet with Central Office employees to learn
more about how the schools operate. She has a big heart and is the epitome of a servant leader.
She commented that we need more servant leaders, and that Teresa has not dropped other
commitments but is continuing to balance being on the School Board with a full-time
professional job, serving as chairman for carnival at South Salem and other roles and
obligations. She also spoke in support of Nancy Bradley and remarked that she is a huge asset
and a tremendous resource for the School Board.
Julie Parsons, 1104 Christy Circle, was the last speaker to address Council. She expressed her
interest in serving on the Salem School Board and feels that she would bring a different
perspective. She shared that she is a former Salem School employee and would bring
knowledge of the Salem School system, she has children in the Salem School system, is well
connected with the citizens of Salem, and is currently an employee of TAP as a crisis support
specialist. Ms. Parsons spoke of ways in which her career experience connects with the school
system and that this experience as well as her former time working for the school system would
allow her to advocate for those that are unable to speak for themselves. She would also be able
to share her knowledge with the School Board and welcome transparency with school
employees. She expressed that as a School Board they would work collaboratively with the
school system, the citizens, City Council and that the result would be a positive impact on the
children. She expressed her feeling that the School Board needs to be more engaging with all
departments of the school system, parents, and children.
Mayor Turk closed the public hearing. She stated that there would be no further action this
evening. Council will consider the applicants that have applied, the people that have come
forward, and will make a decision in a timely manner as to who will be appointed. She stated
that this decision would be made in the next couple of weeks.
Mayor Turk thanked everyone that came forward for their interest, passion, and support.
B. Public Comment Rules
Consideration of any potential changes Council would like to make in the City’s current
adopted public comment procedures at Council meetings.
Mayor Turk stated that Council is currently considering potential changes in the City's
current adopted Public Comment procedures at Council meetings. She opened discussion
to any rules, guidelines, or suggestions that Council had for changes.
Vice-Mayor Wallace stated that he would like to say that all citizens should have an
opportunity to approach Council to speak at any Council meeting regardless of whether it is
about something that has previously been spoken about.
Mr. Saunders also expressed that he felt people should be able to speak at any Council
meeting and that he did not have any changes to the rules that are in place.
Item #4B
Date: September 27, 2021
Mr. Foley said that he did not feel we should have any restrictions in place.
Mayor Turk stated that she felt we should keep the guidelines we currently have in place but
allow citizens to speak at every meeting. She felt that time guidelines are necessary to keep
things from getting out of hand. The only two changes she would like to see are allowing
citizens to speak at every meeting and adding a statement on the website that thanks citizens
and encourages them to come forward and speak.
Mr. Jones asked if they would allow Council members to speak as well. He felt it was
necessary that Council members be allowed to speak also.
Mr. Foley expressed that it was important that Council members be able to respond and clarify
if a citizen brought up something that was not factual or shared incorrect information.
Mayor Turk agreed that a response from Council was in order.
Mr. Light read the rule as it reads currently: Rule #11 currently states that "Council members
shall not discuss issues raised by the public except by the consent of the
majority of the Council members present."
James Wallace motioned to leave the existing rules in place but add the provision to allow
citizens to speak at every Council meeting. John Saunders seconded the motion.
Mr. Jones expressed concern that they need to make sure that Council members have the right
to speak if they feel the need or had knowledge of information without the consent of the
majority of Council.
Mayor Turk suggested that they vote first on the first guideline and then move on to any other
changes. A vote was held on the motion on the floor on the first guideline.
Ayes: Foley, Jones, Saunders, Turk, Wallace.
Randy Foley motioned that there are no limits on the number of speakers or on the time for
speaking. William Jones seconded the motion.
Mr. Wallace stated that he did not feel that this was a good idea. Mr. Saunders said that he felt
we should leave the guidelines as they are. Mayor Turk commented that she felt there did need
to be guidelines for time in order to avoid chaos at meetings.
Ayes: Foley, Jones Nay: Saunders, Turk, Wallace
Motion did not carry.
William Jones motioned to strike guideline number eleven from the rules. John Saunders
seconded the motion.
Item #4B
Date: September 27, 2021
Mr. Guynn suggested that many governing bodies have a time set aside at every meeting for
the comments of the members of the governing body and he felt this was the way to address
this issue. He said Council could have a time set aside at some point during each meeting for
members of Council to comment that was a part of the agenda. He recommended that rule
number eleven be modified to include a phrase such as: “except during your own Council
comments..."
Mr. Saunders stated that he would rather be able to respond immediately if a citizen was putting
a falsehood out. Mr. Guynn suggested that the Council comment period could be immediately
following the citizen comment period. Mr. Taliaferro remarked that if Council wanted to move
forward with Council comment period at some point on the agenda that could be added and
potentially make an addition and a deletion to number eleven to basically say that Council
would not debate during the citizen comment period and that would open up Council to be able
to speak during the Council comment period.
Mr. Saunders stated again that he felt Council should be able to respond immediately in the case
of false information being shared by a citizen.
William Jones motioned to strike guideline number eleven from the Public Comment
rules. John Saunders seconded the motion.
Ayes: Foley, Jones, Saunders, Turk, Wallace
Mr. Taliaferro stated that if Council would like to add Council comment period to the agenda it
could be added after Citizen Comments or toward the end of the agenda. Council agreed to take
this under consideration and think about where they might like to include this.
C. Appropriation of Funds Consider request to amend the School Grants Fund as approved by the School Board on
August 10, 2021. Audit - Finance Committee
The School Grants Funds budget was amended for fiscal year 2021-2022 by the School Board

Ayes: Foley, Jones, Saunders, Turk, Wallace
E. Amend Financing Agreement for 2004 Borrowing
Receive report and approve Resolution 1407 to amend financing agreement with Virginia
Resource Authority for 2004 borrowing. Audit - Finance Committee
The City issued Taxable General Obligation Public Improvement Bonds, Series 2004 in a
maximum principal amount of $11,052,222 to fund sewer rehabilitation work. The City has
received a letter from the Virginia Resources Authority (VRA) that the Virginia Department of
Environmental Quality has authorized a reduction of the Cost of Funds on this Series 2004
borrowing from 3% to 1%. The Department of Environmental Quality and the Virginia
Resource Authority offered a rate reduction to the prevailing market rate. Implementation of
this rate reduction will require an amendment to the Financing Agreement and an allonge to
the bond. The estimated annual savings from this rate reduction will be $184,755. This savings
will impact the Sewer Fund.
James Wallace motioned to adopt Resolution 1407 and allonge to accept the rate reduction
being proposed by VRA for the Series 2004 borrowing. Randy Foley seconded the motion.
Ayes: Foley, Jones, Saunders, Turk, Wallace
F. Reimbursement Resolution
Receive report and consider adoption of Resolution 1408 authorizing reimbursement from
proposed fiscal year 2022 borrowing. Audit - Finance Committee
The City intends to borrow funds during fiscal year 2022 to finance the renovations of Moyer
Sports Complex. Due to the timing of this project, funds may be expended prior to the debt
issuance. In order to ensure that the City can be reimbursed from the bond proceeds, a
reimbursement resolution needs to be adopted giving the City the ability to reimburse any funds
expended for this project prior to closing on the borrowing. The impact of this resolution will
be to allow the City to reimburse our accounts for any funds expended for any projects included
in the proposed borrowing.
James Wallace motioned to adopt reimbursement resolution 1408 allowing the City to be
reimbursed from bond proceeds once a borrowing is completed during fiscal year 2022.
Randy Foley seconded the motion.
Item #4B
Date: September 27, 2021
Ayes: Foley, Jones, Saunders, Turk, Wallace
G. Boards and Commissions
Consider appointments to various boards and commissions.
Mayor Turk remarked that Council had received several applications.
Mr. Foley stated that he felt Council needed to be able to have time to review the applications
and interview candidates prior to making a decision.
Council agreed that they would like to have time to review the applications with City Staff
and interview applicants.
Mr. Foley clarified that these applications are for the Greenway Commission.
Mr. Taliaferro commented that interviews could be done by either the full Council or by one or
two of the Council members.
Mr. Foley also suggested that it would be a good idea to get with some of the current
representatives on the Greenway Commission to see what skillset and background is
needed.
Mayor Turk commented that it would be good for one or two Council members to be involved
in the interview process and indicated that they should contact Mr. Taliaferro if interested in
this and that Mr. Taliaferro would handle scheduling and acquiring information from the
Greenway Commission.

SUBMITTED BY: Mary Ellen Wines, CZA CFM

SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
SITE CHARACTERISTICS:
Zoning: RMF Residential Multi-Family District
Land Use Plan Designation: Residential
Existing Use: Vacant land (formerly Mt. Regis)
Proposed Use: Townhomes
The subject property consists of a .82-acre parcel located northeast of the intersection of Kimball
Avenue and Pyrtle Drive. The parcel is vacant as the former Mt. Regis Center facility was demolished
in 2018 after a fire in 2016 caused major damage to the structure.
This request is to remove the condition placed on the rezoning of 1988. The property was rezoned from
R-2 to R-4 with the proffered condition that the only R-4 use would be a human care facility (Mt. Regis
Center). Salem Building Supply, Inc. intends to develop the site into seven (7) townhomes. The
proposed use of townhomes is a by-right use in the residential multi-family district.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request to remove the condition.

Rezoning Request
Dear Mr. Taliaferro,
PHC of Virginia, Inc. (Property Owner) and Salem Building Supply, Inc. (Contract Purchaser) are
providing official application, supporting documents, and associated fees required to request a removal of
an existing proffered condition on tax parcel 235-1-2. The zoning designation will remain the same as
Residential Multi-Family District (RMF). The removal of the existing proffered condition will allow the
site to be developed as townhomes under the current zoning district.
Project Narrative & Existing Conditions:
The existing parcel is currently vacant and has been since the Mount Regis facility was destroyed by fire in
2016. The Mount Regis facility use of “Human Care Facility” is the only allowable use per the current
proffered condition. Salem Building Supply, Inc. intends to develop the site into seven (7) townhomes with
associated improvements. This use is complementary to the existing mix of single family residential, two-
family dwellings, and multi-family development in the area. These residential townhomes will compliment
the surrounding area while providing additional opportunities for housing within the City of Salem.
See attached civil exhibit plan – “Zoning Exhibit – Exhibit A” dated 8/3/2021 for the proposed townhouse
buildable area. Exhibit B and B1 have been provided offering an example of the townhouse elevations
from Kimball Avenue. The existing parcel is approximately 0.82 acres and is bounded by the public rights-
of-way of Kimball Avenue to the South, RSF zoned property to the west, north, and east. The parcel
generally drains from south to north.
Buffers
A twenty five (25’) buffer consisting of evergreen trees will provided between the existing adjacent RSF
parcels and the existing RMF zoning (subject parcel).
Comprehensive Development Plan & Summary:
This project is in conformance with many of the Goals and Objectives defined in the City of Salem’s
Comprehensive Plan. This project is sensitive to the existing surrounding properties by utilizing a vacant
property for an appropriate use to match surrounding land uses. This project provides an excellent
opportunity to the City of Salem to gain additional residential property in a location of high demand.
Sincerely,
Benjamin T. Crew
