March 8, 2024
James Sanderson, Davenport, gave a presentation on the plan for
financing for the Regional Sports Center Project. The City of
Williamsburg hired Victus Advisors and HVS Consulting to reassess the
potential for a regional sports facility, following up on previous studies.
Both analyses were favorable, showing a reduced projected operating
deficit from earlier estimates and highlighting positive economic impacts
from visitor spending. The facility is expected to operate at an annual
deficit of $363,400, while generating approximately $1,362,800 in tax
revenue from local sales, lodging, and room taxes.
The financing plan includes an $80 million capital cost, funded by debt
managed by the HTRFA. The City of Williamsburg will contribute $7.7
million from an existing account and $2.5 million annually. The HTRFA
will also contribute funds from project reserves and annual state funds.
The estimated annual operating cost is $4,629,800, with revenues of
$3,506,100 expected by the stabilization year, supplemented by
contributions from James City and York Counties.
James City and York County will provide $1.6 million annually for the
first five years to cover operating costs, transitioning to a variable
support structure from year six onward, with minimum and maximum
contributions set at $300,000 and $800,000, respectively. The City of
Williamsburg will cover 64% of the debt service, while HTRFA will cover
the remaining 36%.
The Authority and Mr. Sanderson discussed the Locality Financing Plan.
Moved by Steven, seconded by Carnifax, to authorize Davenport and
Co. to proceed with the necessary steps to execute the financing plan
as proposed.

Consideration of and Action on a Proposed Updated Policy on Electronic Participation in
Meetings From Remote Locations - Dan Siegel, Sands Anderson
Background Information
The General Assembly made a number of changes to the Freedom of Information Act
requirements during the 2024 session, including to the electronic meeting participation
including requirements for members to participate in meetings remotely. This included
adding a caregiver provision, so in addition to personal or medical reasons of the member, a
member may now utilize remote participation if the member is caring for a person with a
disability during the time the meeting is scheduled. Members participating remotely
previously did not count for purposes of a determining a quorum. Now, if a member is
participating remotely because of his or her own disability or because they are caring for
someone with a disability, the member will count for purposes of a quorum, so long as the
audio-visual connection stays connected, and the video stays on during the meeting. The
member's presence for purposes of a quorum will be lost if the audio connection is lost or the
video is disconnected or fails. In other words, for this purpose, the member may mute his or
her sound, but must have their camera on during the meeting to continue to count toward the
quorum. Since the Authority adopted its policy, the maximum number of meetings for which
remote participation is allowed increased from 2 to 2 or 25% of the meetings in a calendar
year, rounded up to the next whole number, whichever is greater. Finally, HB 894 now
requires the public bodies utilizing remote participation to re-adopt its policy annually. This
update shall serve as the readoption this year for the Authority. The proposed updated
policy addresses all of the new requirements of the Code of Virginia
Previous Relevant Action
September 14. 2022 - HTRFA Authority adoption of an Electronic Meeting Policy
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Authority Board adopt the policy as drafted.

POLICY ON ELECTRONIC PARTICIPATION IN MEETINGS FROM REMOTE
LOCATIONS
Except as provided hereafter, the Historic Triangle Recreational Facilities Authority (the
"Authority") does not conduct any meeting wherein the public business is discussed or transacted
through telephonic, video, electronic, or other electronic communication means where the
members are not physically assembled. This Policy is applied strictly and uniformly, without
exception, to the entire membership of the Authority and without regard to the identity of the
member requesting remote participation or the matters that will be considered or voted on at the
meeting.
This Policy shall also be applicable to any committee, subcommittee, task force or other entity of
the Authority.
This Policy is adopted to comply with the provisions of the Virginia Freedom of Information Act,
§ 2.2-3701 et seq. of the Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended (the "Act").
For the purposes of this Policy, "electronic communication" means the use of technology having
electrical, digital, magnetic, wireless, optical, electromagnetic, or similar capabilities to transmit
or receive information.

meeting due to a temporary or permanent disability or other medical condition that
prevents the member's physical attendance (an individual member of a public body
who is a person with a disability as defined in Code of Virginia § 51.5-40.1 and
uses remote participation counts toward the quorum as if the individual was
physically present), (ii) a family member’s medical condition that requires the
member to provide care for such family member thereby preventing the member’s
physical attendance or the member is a caregiver who must provide care for a
person with a disability at the time the public meeting is being held thereby
preventing the member's physical attendance (an individual member of a public
body who is a caregiver for a person with a disability and uses remote participation
counts toward the quorum as if the individual was physically present), (iii) a
member's principal residence is more than 60 miles from the meeting location
identified in the required notice for such meeting, or (iv) that such member is unable
to physically attend the meeting due to a personal matter and identifies with
specificity the nature of the personal matter; and 2) the Authority approves the
member's participation by a majority vote of the members present at the meeting
location based only on the criteria in this policy and a quorum is present at the
meeting location.
Page 3 of 6

approved pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Authority shall record in its minutes

disability or other medical condition or a family member's medical condition that

communication means due to a temporary or permanent disability or other medical
condition that prevented the member's physical attendance, (ii) or a family
member's medical condition that required the member to provide care for such
