Commission on Local Government adopts FY2023 mandates assessment schedule, hears fiscal stress update
Summary
At its March 10 meeting in Henrico, the Commission on Local Government approved meeting minutes, adopted a FY2023 Schedule for Mandates Assessment, was told the FY20 Fiscal Stress Report is delayed pending missing locality data, and received an overview of the 2022 General Assembly session.
Henrico, Va. — The Commission on Local Government met March 10 and approved several routine items while receiving updates on ongoing work, Commission Chair Diane M. Linderman said at the start of the 11 a.m. session.
Ms. Wheaton, a Commission staff member, told commissioners that the draft agenda was approved and that no members of the public spoke during the public comment period. She said staff will prepare commendation resolutions for David Conmy and Commissioner Michael Amyx, whose terms expired December 31, and that the resolutions should be available for Commission review before the May meeting.
Commissioner Rosemary M. Mahan moved to approve the minutes of the Jan. 6 meeting with minor technical edits; Commissioner Edwin S. Rosado seconded the motion, which passed.
Ms. Wheaton presented the Commission's Schedule for Mandates Assessment for fiscal year 2023 and explained the schedule itself was not included in the public meeting packet because responsible state agencies had not finalized the assessment dates before the packet was published. Vice Chair Ceasor T. Johnson joined the meeting in person during this item. Commissioner Mahan moved to approve the FY2023 Schedule for Mandates Assessment; Commissioner Rosado seconded the motion, and it passed.
On the FY20 Fiscal Stress Report, Ms. Wheaton said the report is not yet ready because a small number of localities have not submitted required data to the Auditor of Public Accounts. She said those localities have a six-month grace period to file the data and staff expects to bring the completed report to the Commission for review in either May or July.
Ms. Wheaton also provided an overview of the 2022 General Assembly session, summarizing enrolled bills of interest, the Fiscal Impact Statement process staff conducts, the budget adoption process and legislation that affects the Commission's mission. Commissioner Stephanie Davis left the meeting for a personal matter during this discussion.
Ms. Wheaton noted the Commission's next regular meetings are scheduled for May 12 and July 14. With no other business, Vice Chair Ceasor T. Johnson moved to adjourn; Commissioner Rosemary M. Mahan seconded and the motion passed.
