Good afternoon, Mr. Lester and Ms. Vance,
We are conducting a Community Health Assessment (CHA) in Russell County and Lebanon. CHAs are now required in all health districts across the state. This locality was selected as a part of the Cumberland Plateau Health District because it is a well-mobilized community with an active health coalition and passionate community partners. It is our hope that the CHA will be successful in this area and that the results of the assessment will guide the creation of a successful Community Health Improvement Program, or CHIP.
‘The CHA differs from a traditional health assessment in that we are looking at health from a more holistic viewpoint, encompassing social determinants such as education and job opportunities, parks and recreation, business and economic growth, and other factors of daily individual and community life. The CHA must be able to provide an idea of “What is life in Russell County?” while simultaneously identifying factors which require growth and leveraging positive attributes to create sustainable change.
On January 25th, our efforts were advertised in The Lebanon News in an aiticle entitled, “It’s Time to Get Your CHA On! Community Health Assessment: Let Your Voice Be Heard." In addition to The Lebanon News supporters and members of the Community Health Assessment Team (CHAT) thus far include representatives from Virginia Cooperative Extension, Cumberland Mountain Community Services and WE CARE, the Department of Health and Cumberland Plateau Health District, People Inc., the Russell County Health Coalition, the Russell County Public Library, the Sheriffs office, and Mountain States Health Alliance. We are looking for more community members and local leaders to both inform and lead the process.
| have attached a graphic which explains the Community Health Assessment (CHA) process. An individual’s zip code is just as important as their genetic code in determining health outcomes. | hope that you are able to support our efforts and join us in creating a healthier Lebanon and Russell County!
Respectfully,
Briana Apgar Community Health Assessment Planner

Blood Assurance is a local supplier of blood and blood components in the Tri-Cities and SWVA Regions. Blood Assurance is the sole supplier of Russell County Medical Center along with Johnston Memorial Hospital, Niswonger Children’s Hospital, and many other local facilities in the region. Blood Assurance also services many facilities in secondary contract capacities when they need help, generally in the form of platelets, and sometimes red cells.
‘Our mission - To provide a safe and adequate supply of blood and blood components, in a cost effective manner, to every area patient in need,
Blood Assurance has donor centers located in Abingdon, Bristol, Johnson City, and Kingsport. We also
have blood mobiles that travel daily to drives hosted by employer groups, schools, churches, civic clubs and other organizations.
We are grateful to those who share in our mission of saving lives. When a donor gives with Blood Assurance, the donation never leaves our hands, and it helps supply blood to patients in your
community.
{ greatly appreciate the opportunity to share this information with the Russell County Board. As Business Development Manager, itis my goal to educate our communities on who Blood Assurance is, increase awareness of the importance of blood donation, and to let our citizens know that we are the supplier of your local hospital facility in Russell County.

Hosting a blood drive at your business, school, church, or organization is a great way to give back to the local community. Blood Assurance hosts thousands of blood drives each year allowing some individuals to make a blood donation when it would otherwise be difficult for them to get toa donation center. One of our bloodmobiles will come to your facility, making donations more convenient.
Typically, we have a goal of 40 donors per blood drive. Hosting the bloodmobile at your business, school, church, or organization promotes comradery and exhibits community good will, With the help of donations from local blood drives, we are able to keep area hospitals supplied with life-saving blood components.
If your organization is interested in hosting a blood drive please visit www.bloodassurance.org or call 1-800-962-0628.

- Drink plenty of water, especially 10-20 : minutes prior to your donation. hod
. When you donate blood, your body loses. ‘~ approximately two cups of fluids. After you donate, your body will replace the fluid almost immediately by drawing water into your blood from surrounding tissues,
In addition to replenishing the lost fluids, drinking water helps to maintain circulation throughout the body, preventing one of the most common types of donor reactions — light-headedness,
Eat iron-rich foods in the days leading up to your donation (red meat, leafy green vegetables, beans, raisins and prunes). Avoid caffeinated beverages which inhibit your body’s ability to absorb iron,
- Eat a healthy meal (not just a snack) about 1-2 hours prior to donating blood. Fatty foods <hamburgers, fries, ete) can cause you to feel faint and interfere with the testing of the blood,
- Enhance your experience by using Applied Muscle Tension (AMT). This will help prevent feeling light-headed or dizzy.
AMT is the exercise of tightening and releasing your major muscle groups. Tighten the muscles of one region at a time, while silently counting to five, Then release and relax the muscles for five seconds before moving on to the next muscle region. Practice this technique while in the donation chair, until you are released to the refreshment area,
- After your donation, take your time getting up from the donor chair. Dangle your feet over the side of the chair while you sit upright. ‘When you are ready, please enjoy @ complimentary snack at our refreshment area
Also, be sure to teli the Blood Assurance staff if you’ve ever had a reaction during a previous blood donation.

- Whole blood ~ The most common form of donation, whole ‘blood is collected from the donor and taken te the laboratory, where it is separated into specific components, such as red blood cells, platelets and plasma,
Eligible to clonate every 56 days (8 weeks). Total time from registration to completion - approximately 30 minutes,
- Apheresis ~'This methad of donating allows the blood donor to give specific components of blood, most commonly platelets, Platelets are commonly used by patients undergoing chemotherapy treatments.

Eligible to clonate every 7 days, up to 24 times per year Total time from registration to completion ~ 45 minutes to 15 hours,
- ALYX - Similar to the apheresis method, ALYX allows the donor to give a specific blood component. in this case, the ALYX machine collects two units of red blood cells instead of one, Platelets and plasma are returned to the donor by a single-use clisposable kit and the donor receives a saline solution for hydration
Biigible to donate every 112 days (16 weeks). Total time from registration to completion - approximately 40 - 45 minutes.

THE STATE OF COUNTY FINANCES PROGRESS THROUGH ADVERSITY
County governments provide essential services to create healthy, safe, vibrant and economically resilient communities. The Great Recession and the slow recovery affected both the county economies and the fiscal conditions of county governments.1 Building upon the foundation laid by NACo’s Counting Money study on county financial reporting, this analysis examines trends in annual county revenues and expenses between 2007 and 2013, the latest year available for the majority of audited county financial statements.2 Using the fiscal data from the largest group of county governments reporting their financials in the same format (2,112 counties in 45 states and the District of Columbia), this report sheds light on the effect of the recession on counties and provides direction on the fiscal recovery of county governments.3 The evidence suggests:
GENERAL REVENUE RECOVERY HAS BEEN SLOW AND UNEVEN ACROSS COUNTIES.
General revenues did not recover to 2007 levels in nearly half of counties (46 percent) by 2013, taking into account inflation. General revenues are discretionary funding, providing county boards the flexibility for allocating funds to needed services. This source of funding is primarily derived from taxes, fees and fines and any grants not restricted to a particular activity.4
The recovery has been uneven across counties. Overall, Western region counties recorded the most improvement through 2013, with 59 percent bouncing back to pre-recession levels (Figure 1). Backed by economies benefiting from rising oil and gas production between 2007 and 2013, the majority of counties in states such as North Dakota, South Dakota and Texas recorded higher general revenues in 2013

Property tax revenues drove the performance of county general funding. In 2013, property taxes comprised 72 percent of county general revenues (Map 1).5 Property tax collections lag price movements in the real estate market because of the variety of assessment cycles around the country.6 For example, South Carolina requires counties to conduct a reassessment every five years, while Michigan mandates annual assessments.7 As a result, real estate market peaks precede peaks in property assessments and tax collections, sometimes by several years. The timing of the property assessment may mitigate or magnify the negative impact of real estate price decline on property tax collections. At the same time, rapid real estate price increases do not fully translate into increases in county property tax revenues due to various state limits on property tax increases.8 Forty-one (41) states had at least one type of limitation on county capacity to raise property taxes.
The recession and slow recovery suppressed consumer spending and sales tax revenues. Two-thirds of counties that collected sales taxes in 2007 saw their revenues from this source of funding decline by 2013. Not all states allow counties to collect sales taxes: of the 29 states granting counties this authority, counties in 19 states won voter approval to introduce local sales taxes. For example, in many Louisiana parishes and counties in New York and Ohio, sales and use taxes represented about 26 to 48 percent of county general revenues in 2013.
COUNTIES ARE STRUGGLING WITH RISING COSTS OF MANDATED SERVICES.
For governments, economic downturns translate into less revenue and higher volumes of services, as they try to deal with unemployment, business closures and more people in need. This fiscal
squeeze is even more pronounced for county governments, being primary social safety net providers on the ground. With the economic recovery slow to take hold across counties, county governments struggle to meet state and federal mandates while serving their residents at adequate levels.9
Nearly half of counties (48 percent) recorded overall 2013 expenses above their 2007 levels, even when adjusted for inflation (Map 2).10 Over one fifth of parishes in Louisiana and counties in North Dakota, Utah and West Virginia experienced expense increases of more than 30 percent. Pressure increased on small counties (those with less than 50,000 residents), with about 55 percent registering expense increases. In some counties, expenses more than quadrupled in six years (in Dunn County, ND and Mountrail County, ND).
At the core of the recession, large counties (those with populations higher than 500,000) were more likely to record lower expenses. Only 35 percent recorded expenses rising over the six-year period analyzed.

These costs exceeded 40 percent of expenses for a majority of counties in California, New Hampshire and New York. As administrative arms of state governments, counties serve as a safety net for low-income residents and their investment supports education, job training, childcare and housing, among many other programs that reach county residents of all ages. In addition,
counties provide hospital care for individuals without any health insurance or ability to pay and they invest in health services for residents including health departments, hospitals, clinical care and behavioral care units. Between 2007 and 2013, 36 percent of counties were coping with increases in health and human services costs above overall inflation. Small counties (with less than 50,000 residents) were more likely to experience these increases. Health and human service costs in the majority of counties in Colorado, Louisiana, Montana, North Dakota and Texas grew faster than overall inflation.
Transportation and infrastructure are core responsibilities for many counties, often mandated by the state. Counties cover the entire gamut of infrastructure services, including owning and maintaining roads and bridges, providing public transportation, owning and operating airports and seaports, handling water supply, diverting storm water and waste management. Most often, transportation and infrastructure represent about 16 percent of total expenses for a county, but exceed one third of expenses for a majority of counties in Alabama, Delaware, Iowa and North Dakota. Between 2007 and 2013, transportation expenses rose faster than the inflation rate in more than half (54 percent) of counties; likewise, water, sewage and solid waste costs rises exceeded overall price changes in 44 percent of counties. Small counties (with less than 50,000 residents) were more likely to see an escalation in transportation expenditures. Transportation expenses rose the most in North Dakota counties, driven by oil and gas production needs.
The rising costs of mandated services drive up the expenses for operating county governments. General government activities are essential services, either mandated by the state (such as assessing property values, issuing birth certificates and marriage licenses or collecting property taxes for schools, cities and others) or necessary to operate an organization (having a finance department, for example). As a result of the increasing needs of residents and the pressure to meet state and federal mandates, the general government expenses rose above inflation in about half (51 percent) of counties between 2007 and 2013. Counties are struggling to fund mandated and vital services, while maintaining a high level of service quality for residents.

No two counties are the same. Most often, states decide the role, structure and responsibilities for counties. As a result, counties differ in regards to the type and volume of services provided to residents. Counties are governed by locally elected officials and, in some instances, operate under home rule authority, which allows for more local flexibility and control with structural, functional and fiscal powers. Even within a state, counties vary in terms of services, depending on the availability of services from other levels of government, population size and density and extent of federal lands.

THE STATE OF COUNTY FINANCES PROGRESS THROUGH ADVERSITY
Many county services are mandated by the states or the federal government. State and federal governments provide different levels of funding to counties to pay for mandated services, frequently in the form of earmarked grants for operational expenses or capital expenditures of specific activities. Most often, about 93 percent of the state and federal funding used by a county is restricted to specific functions (called “dedicated grants” in this study); the remainder is part of general revenues.12
Dedicated grants funded a smaller share of county expenses in the majority of counties (59 percent), as a result of expense growth in excess of the increase in dedicated grants or costs declining less than funding from dedicated grants between 2007 and 2013 (Map 4). A majority of counties in states such as Florida and Tennessee recorded drops in the share of their expenses covered by dedicated grants.
The decline in earmarked state and federal grants affected county services to varying degrees. For the majority of counties, dedicated grants covered the highest proportion of costs for transportation, at 43 percent of operational expenses and capital expenditures in 2013. In contrast, earmarked grants funded about 30 percent of county health and human services and 7 percent of justice and public safety. By 2013, dedicated grants funding covered a smaller percentage of expenses for both justice and public safety and community health and human services than six years before. A majority of counties in Virginia experienced declines in dedicated grants for justice and public safety relative to their restricted expenses between 2007 and 2013.
Counties fund mandated services more and more with general revenues and charges to compensate for declining coverage by state and federal funding. By 2013, general revenues funded 62.5 percent of county expenses, an increase of 1.5 percentage points in the funding share from the prior six years. The majority of counties (55 percent) experienced this trend. In states such as Wisconsin, Ohio, Iowa and Pennsylvania, more than 80 percent of counties funded a greater percentage of county expenses through general revenues compared to 2007 (Figure 2).

Charges, such as water rates, are user fees paid for a specific service and are restricted to fund expenses related only to that service. Most often, they cover about 18 percent of county expenses, mainly expenses for utilities and water, sewerage and solid waste. Between 2007 and 2013, charges revenues funded a higher proportion of county expenses in 45 percent of counties. In some counties, raising user charges is limited by the state. For example, in Iowa, county fees are established by the state legislature and counties do not have the statutory authority to raise them. Service charges are not an option for many counties, as these fees may also be established by the state legislature and counties may not the statutory authority to raise them either. Almost two thirds of counties in North Carolina, Ohio and Tennessee are relying more on service charge revenues to fund their expenses. This trend is most evident in large counties (those with populations higher than 500,000), with 56 percent of them covering more of their county expenses with revenues from service charges.
Notes: Large counties have more than 500,000 residents; small counties have less than 50,000; and mid-sized counties are in between, based on 2015 U.S. Census Bureau population estimates.

The recession and slow recovery affected counties’ bottom line. Fewer counties could cover all their expenses in 2013 relative to before the recession. In 2007, 82 percent of counties achieved an annual surplus (positive change in net position), but by 2013 only 71 percent did so. The ending balances were also lower in 2013. Forty (40) percent of counties had lower ending balances, with the largest concentration in the Northeast.
Counties face a constrained fiscal environment that affects county services and residents. In light of declining federal and state aid, counties increasingly need to find other sources of funding to cover for increased expenses. Six years after the start of the Great Recession, general revenues in
many counties were either still declining or just slowly coming back. Further, state limitations on counties’ capacities to raise revenues through taxes and charges impede the recovery of general revenues. In a follow-up study, NACo will explore the constrained fiscal environment many counties face due to the proliferation of state and federal mandates to counties, coupled with state limitations on counties’ abilities to raise revenues. The study will also provide insight into the solutions and innovations that help counties to maintain quality services for residents.

We have audited the cash receipts and disbursements of the Clerk of the Circuit Court for this locality. Our primary objectives were to test the accuracy of financial transactions recorded on the Court’s financial management system; evaluate the Court’s internal controls; and test its compliance with significant state laws, regulations, and policies. Management’s Responsibility
Court management has responsibility for establishing and maintaining internal controls and complying with applicable laws and regulations. Internal control is a process designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting, effectiveness and efficiency of operations, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Deficiencies in internal controls could possibly lead to the loss of revenues or assets, or otherwise compromise fiscal accountability.
We noted no matters involving internal control and its operation necessary to bring to management’s attention.
We acknowledge the cooperation extended to us by the Court during this engagement.

PUBLIC COMMENTS
Pam Combs of Combs Road off of Back Valley Road wanted to know if there were any updates on getting water at her residence, She was told that the project would need a pump station and it was pending for funding.
‘George Jacobs requested the authority give him a free water tap connection, because there is a water meter on his property that belongs to his neighbor’s meter. He was told that we could not do that, but we could provide him some funding agencies that could possibly help him with the water connection.
CROSSROADS 1, Service Meters/Master Meters/SCADA - Approximately 1400 new service meters have been installed to date out of approximately 1800, Contractor for the telemetry portion has been working on the scada system.

The two CWP workers in this photo have cleaned over 18 miles of river banks from Old Castlewood to Burton’s Ford, as well as cleaning the river bed. Over 600 tires, 500 large bags of small items and approximately 1,000 pounds of larger items have been removed from the river. Frank Kilgore has trained the workers for this work, and we plan to expand this project in the spring and have a crew cleaning the entire river.

Russell County Sheriff’s Office Litter Pick-Up Program
On August 1, 2016, the CWP teamed up with the RCSO to do our part in
keeping Russell County’s highways clean. This was nothing new for
RCSO, but it was a huge leap of faith to change how they were doing
things and work with our participants. No one knew how things were going
to work out, but this has proven to be a great advantage for the CWP. We
feel that having daily presence by the Deputies working with our work
crews, is a huge part of our success thus far. The CWP workers have
picked up 9,998 bags of litter, walking 407.3 miles of highway, from
August 1 – December 31. We are PROUD to be a part of the RCSO Litter
Pick-Up Program and appreciated the continued support from the Sheriff’s
Office!
Some of our recent CWP Projects:
Removed/installed new flooring at the Russell County Conference Center
Completed major painting project for the Historical Society, painting the old courthouse, house and museum
Completed several painting projects at SVCC
Assisted with the construction of the new welcome sign
Currently building display cases at St. Paul Regional Museum
Completed a clean-up project at The Pinnacle Natural Area Preserve
Renovations in Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office
Provided landscaping services for the Russell County Library
Assisting in cleaning of County Offices and Courthouse
Completed several painting projects at the Russell County Library
Continued cleanups at the County Convenience Stations and Landfill
Members of the Russell County Drug Court Team traveled to
Galena, Missouri, to participate in the National Drug Court Institute’s
Mentor Court Program. This is the first phase of NDCI’s Operational
Tune-Up Training that our team will be hosting this spring, at no cost
to the County. This training will assist the Drug Court Team in
staying up to date with the most effective procedures for operations.
Our Drug Court Program saved Russell County $93,112.32 in jail
costs during 2016, while guiding participants to live sober, productive
lives. This year, our Drug Court Team provided services to 22 drug
addicted probationers, who would have otherwise been
incarcerated. These 22 participants have a total of 32 children,
whose lives are all directly affected by our Drug Court Program.

RUSSELL COUNTY DRUG COURT
“The Russell County Community Work Program has been a huge
success because of the
cooperation of multiple agencies.
The Board of Supervisors had the
foresight to invest in this program.
The Commonwealth’s Attorney’s
Office was willing to consider new
alternatives, and the Sheriff’s Office and probation have been
key players. It is a great example of how we solve problems in
Russell County.”
