County to begin general reassessment Woodstock – Shenandoah County will begin the reassessment of real property with field work starting Monday, August 17, 2020. The Commonwealth of Virginia requires that Virginia Cities and Counties provide for the assessment of the fair market value of real property for taxing purposes. Shenandoah County currently reassesses property at six year intervals. The last reassessment occurred in 2014-2015. The new values became effective January 1, 2016. The County has contracted with Wampler-Eanes Appraisal Group, Ltd, a Virginia based mass appraisal firm, who has completed the County’s last two general reassessments. The general reassessment begins with field surveys by Wampler-Eanes staff members. Those staff members will be visiting properties to verify property tax information of the County’s approximate 33,000 parcels. Assessors are identified with name tags and yellow safety vests and their vehicles are marked “County Reassessment.” Staff members complete their work exclusively outside and do not enter structures to complete their work. While the COVID-19 virus remains a threat, Wampler-Eanes staff members will have appropriate personal protective equipment if interacting with property owners. Staff members will leave written notification (e.g., door hanger) of their visit if property owners are not home. The field work portion of the reassessment will take approximately 12 months to complete. Property owners will be notified of revised values beginning in the fall of 2021. New property values will be effective January 1, 2022. For more information, please visit the county’s website at www.shenandoahcountyva.us.

Colin M. Greene, MD, MPHHealth Director, Lord Fairfax Health District

Virginia Department of Health13 August 2020

Points to Keep in Mind

• COVID-19 is a disease of proximity

• Spread increases with closeness and frequency of

contact

• COVID is deadly to the elderly

• Not to children (0 COVID deaths in VA < 20 y/o)

• You can spread COVID without knowing you

have it

• Source of every new infection is someone’s

mouth or nose

The Surgeon General’s 3 Ws

• WEAR your mask

• WATCH your distance

• WASH your hands

Recent Key Data

• Case rates nationally are back on a downward

trend (last 2 weeks)

• Virginia’s case spikes mostly in SE and SW

• LFHD has not seen a major case spike

• Northwest region rated at Low Burden/Low

Community Transmission (some local variation)

LFHD Daily New Cases

LFHD Death Rate By Age

A Few Considerations for Schools

• You will have cases: plan ahead• LFHD/VDH guidelines to manage cases pending

• Main risk is older staff, not children• Plan for temporary staff loss from isolation & quarantine

• There is harm in keeping children out of school• Learning loss; disparities worsened

• Loss of social/emotional development

• Loss of physical activity

• Missed domestic abuse

• Long-term delays/damage may be hard to repair/catch up)

Feasibility Analysis:

Establish Leased Convenience Siteat Back Road and St. Luke Road

OVERVIEW:

Lot is 1.73 acres,

including area not

available for

Convenience Site.

8/12/2020

2

Options Presented

A. Lease-operate (single parcel only)

B. Long-term lease only (single parcel)

C. Acquire additional land from neighboring landowner

Analysis: Lease-Operate

PROS

• Near previous location

• Good road visibility

• Landowner offers to make pad-ready for fixed price

• Lease-operated sites cost less to operate than staffed sites

CONS

• Lease-operated sites present more operational risks

• Parcel configuration not conducive

• Not preferred location for site consolidation

• Water body nearby (Narrow Passage Creek)

8/12/2020

3

Analysis: Long-term lease,

County Operate

•Most pros and cons are the same, except it removes the risk of having the site not staffed by County employees

• 99-year lease provides longevity

• The parcel shape is still a major challenge; additional land from the neighboring parcel could address that.

Conceptual Outline of Enlarged Site

Approx. 1
