Yancey School Community Center: License Agreement with the Commonwealth of Virginia, Virginia Department of Health BODY
SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Board approval of License Agreement with the Commonwealth of Virginia, Virginia Department of Health for use of Yancey School Community Center
ITEM TYPE: Consent Action Item
STAFF CONTACT(S): Richardson, Henry, Kamptner, Herrick, Crickenberger, Stewart, Russell, Smith, Freitas
PRESENTER (S): N/A
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
REVIEWED BY: Jeffrey B. Richardson
BACKGROUND: At the Board of Supervisors’ March 7, 2018 meeting, the Board endorsed a use framework for the Yancey School Community Center that included the differentiation of user group types, space types, and an associated fee structure. That framework provided for in-kind/no cost use for community agency partners such as the Commonwealth of Virginia, Virginia Department of Health (VDH).
The proposed agreement for VDH’s use of the Yancey School Community Center will not require a public hearing. Virginia Code § 15.2-1800(B) generally requires public hearings for the “disposal” of County property, but makes an exception for “the leasing of real property to another public body, political subdivision or authority of the Commonwealth.”
STRATEGIC PLAN: Mission: To enhance the well-being and quality of life for all citizens through the provision of the highest level of public service consistent with the prudent use of public funds.
DISCUSSION: Since the inception of the Yancey School Community Center, staff has met with the Thomas Jefferson Health District (TJHD) concerning the feasibility of opening a clinic to support the needs of the Esmont community and surrounding areas. The TJHD has been actively involved in community discussions to identify services that could be offered and has secured grant funding for the purchase of equipment and to fund a part-time Community Health Worker/Office Services Support Specialist. Attachment A provides a detailed summary. The proposed License Agreement (Attachment B) allocates 551 square feet of dedicated space to be used as the clinic and 484 square feet of shared space that would be used as a waiting room when needed.
BUDGET IMPACT: There is no budget impact anticipated.
