The completed annual audited Financial Report for FY2020 for Campbell County has been    distributed in printed form to the Board, in order for the Board to be prepared to receive the formal presentation today by Mr. Matt McLearen.  The Board is asked to bring their printed copies to the January 5 Board meeting for the presentation.  Mr. McLearen will also answer questions from the Board.

  

RECOMMENDATION:  Receive the presentation from Mr. Matt McLearen of Robinson, Farmer, Cox Associates and ask any questions or request any additional information relating to the FY2020 Audited Financial Reports.

At the September 1, 2020 meeting of the Board of Supervisors, the Board approved requested zoning changes for the National Center for Healthy Veterans (NCHV) at 745 RBF Lane.  As proposed, the project calls for five villages with tiny homes surrounding a community center with each village housing 30 temporary residents.  The entire facility would house 200 persons including 50 full time staff and day visitors.  The rezoning also provided for an outdoor market to sell products grown and produced on the site as well as the construction of a welcome center and lodge.

  

In mid-October, the County received the attached correspondence from Mr. Russ Nixon on behalf of the National Center for Healthy Veterans.  Upon receipt of the request for a temporary pump and haul, staff conferred with representatives from the National Center for Healthy Veterans and the matter was deferred until the Board’s January 5th Board meeting.

  

General Horne has most recently advised that the NCHV is presently working on a full septic and wastewater plan for the entire property.  That plan will be submitted to the State no later than December 30th.  County staff has requested an email copy of that plan and it will be forwarded to the Board for your information as soon as it is received.

  

At this time, staff understands that the NCHV is still requesting authorization to operate a temporary pump off system for the effluent coming from the initial development phase of the project.  The Board must consider if this request is in keeping with the Board’s intent upon approval of the project and if it is in the best interest of the public’s health, welfare and safety to authorize it.   
  

RECOMMENDATION:  Staff recommends the Board consider the requested temporary pump and haul for the NCHV and provide direction as to how to proceed.

 

Calvin Massie, Commissioner of the Revenue

    
On May 26, 2020, PHI Health LLC was contacted by the Commissioner of the Revenue’s office for the purpose of licensing the company in accordance with provisions of Campbell County’s business license ordinance.  On June 30, 2020, PHI Health LLC was assessed with total business license tax in the amount of $32,666.75 for the years 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020.  PHI Health LLC subsequently submitted payment for the taxes in a timely manner.  Recently, PHI Health LLC brought to Mr. Massie’s attention the existence of The Airport Development Acceleration Act that limits the ability of states and localities to impose taxes on both passengers and sales of air transportation services.  The provisions of the Act are currently codified in the Federal statute 49 U.S.C. § 40116 subsection (b).  Essentially, the statute preempts the assessment of a local business license tax on the sale of air transportation services when gross receipts are the basis to which the tax rate is applied.  Additionally, PHI Health LLC points to an April 2005 ruling of Virginia’s Tax Commissioner that cites the preemptive import of 49 U.S.C. § 40116.  At the time the license taxes were assessed, Mr. Massie was unaware of the Federal statute and the 2005 Ruling of Virginia’s Tax Commissioner.  Mr. Massie and the County Attorney concur that the Federal statute preempts the imposition of a business license requirement on PHI Health LLC’s air transportation service when the tax base is gross receipts.
  

RECOMMENDATION:  Staff recommends the Board authorize a refund to PHI Health LLC of the erroneously assessed business license tax in the amount of $32,666.75.
