Richmond government boards, commissions, committees and task forces _________________
Critical to the foundation of our citizen-run government, Richmond City Council regularly establishes and/or appoints members to serve on local Richmond and regional government boards, commissions, committees and task forces to assist with providing oversight on various topics, programs and services.
Appointed public bodies provide additional intellectual assistance on subjects that shape the quality of our lives, neighborhoods and city and increase our government openness, inclusion and transparency. Richmond citizens are invited and encouraged to serve.
Service on these entities provides residents with additional opportunities to participate in and learn more about their government and to provide their education, experience, skills and abilities in service of their community. Time commitments vary from a few hours a year, up to 20 hours a month. Appointments are made throughout the year as vacancies occur and new entities are created and meeting times, dates, locations and frequency are scheduled as needed. Individual requirements for appointment consideration are different for each entity, which range from advisory to policy to governing.
Richmond City Council currently appoints members to 55 local and regional public bodies; most of which are volunteer/non-paid positions. In addition, Council appoints members to five (5) non-governmental organizations and one (1) federal government entity; for an estimated 61 entities (as of 3.1.2012/please check for updated entities). Oversight is provided by one of the six Richmond City Council Standing Committees an entity is assigned to.
Appointed terms include project-oriented ones that exist for a few months and more long-term ones that last up to three years (unless otherwise specified and/or service may be longer if a new appointment has not been made and the incumbent is willing to continue service until that time.) Incumbents may be considered for reappointment (as appropriate/allowed) at the conclusion of their term and generally may serve up to two successive full terms. (Note: It is possible for a person to be appointed to serve to fill a remainder of a partial unexpired term then be appointed twice more to serve two subsequent successive terms).
Some relevant laws covering appointments include the following:
Richmond Code of Laws:
Section 2-836 Eligibility of members to succeed themselves;
terms of members.
(a) Notwithstanding any possible section in this Code to the contrary, no citizen member of a board or commission, other than persons appointed by the council to serve as members of the Capital Region Airport Commission (chapter 380, Acts of Assembly 1980) or the Greater Richmond Transit Company, shall be appointed to more than two successive full terms on a board or commission; provided, however, the members of the Monroe Park Advisory council and the Highway Safety Commission may serve up to three successive full terms and provided, however, a person appointed to fill a vacancy (that is, an unexpired term) may serve two successive full terms upon completion of the unexpired term for which the person has been appointed. However, this subsection shall not apply to governmental authorities created by the city.
(b) Unless otherwise specified by general law, ordinance or resolution, the term of office for the members of any board, commission, or committee the members of which are appointed by the council shall be three years.
Citizens interested in being appointed to serve as a member of a local Richmond or regional public government body or non-government organization, that Richmond City Council appoints members to, are invited to review the descriptions, purposes and individual membership requirements and vacancies and apply online at: http://www.richmondgov.com/CityCouncil/CouncilBoardsCommissions.aspx or http://eservices.ci.richmond.va.us/applications/boardscommissions/index.aspx

RICHMOND CITY COUNCIL

COUNCIL PUBLIC INFORMATION NEWS RELEASE
IMMEDIATE RELEASE TO BE FORWARDED AND SHARED
Friday, 9 March 2012
New Richmond Redistricting Plan cleared by the U. S. Department of Justice: New boundaries begin immediately
(Richmond, Virginia U.S.A.) -- Today, March 9, 2012, Richmond received preclearance from the U.S. Department of Justice (letter attached) of the Richmond City Council 2011 Richmond Decennial Voter District Redistricting Plan. (The new map is attached.)
The preclearance is in response to the request for review and preclearance sent on January 10, 2012 by the City of Richmond Office of the City Attorney to the United States Department of Justice (in Accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations (28 C.F.R. §§ 51.27 AND 51.28) on behalf of the Richmond City Council 2011 Richmond Decennial Voter District Redistricting Plan.
The plan, which includes changes to Richmond Voter District boundaries, Richmond Voting Precincts and Richmond Voting Locations/Polling Places goes into effect immediately. For Richmond, this includes members of Richmond City Council, Richmond Public Schools Board of Trustees and the Richmond Mayor (who is elected by having the most votes in five of nine Richmond Voter Districts).
The request package sent on behalf of Richmond City Council represented a year and a half of work, public process and dedication and included hundreds of pages documenting the public process and changes made to the existing voter districts.
Evaluations of existing voting districts are required every 10 years due to shifts in populations and redistricting of boundaries occurs to ensure voter equity. From 2000-2010, Richmond's population increased from 197,790 to 204,214 and population shifts occurred. Changes included (among others) a sizable population increase (+3,862) in the old North Central 2nd District and significant decreases (-3,460) in the old Northside 3rd District. The new Richmond Decennial Voter District Redistricting plan attempts to equalize the number of residents in each Richmond Voter District based on city population shifts reported by the 2010 U.S. Census, represents an overall percentage population variance between the nine Richmond Voter Districts of 8.2 percent.
The Richmond City Council 2011 Richmond Decennial Voter District Redistricting Plan was comprised of two components, which included a new Richmond Voter District Boundary Plan that was approved on Monday, November 28, 2011, as Council Ordinance # 2011-185 (As Amended), and changes to Richmond Voting Precincts and Richmond Voting Locations/Polling Places, approved January 9, 2012. The Submission package is available on the 2011 Richmond Decennial Voter District Redistricting Website, at http://www.richmondgov.com/Redistricting/index.aspx.
WHO The Honorable Members of Richmond City Council
CONTACT For more information and/or to discuss the Richmond City Council 2011 Richmond Decennial Voter District Redistricting plans or process, Richmond citizens should contact the Richmond City Council Councilmember (contact information below) that represents them or Steve Skinner, Council Public Information Manager, Richmond City Council Office of the Council Chief of Staff, at 804.646.6052 (o); or, steven.skinner@richmondgov.com
BACKGROUND __________________________________________________________________________
2011 Richmond Decennial Voter District Redistricting
We, as Americans, govern ourselves at the state, local and national level and choose (elect) fellow citizens to assist us with the ownership and operation of our government. In order to do this, we organize ourselves into geographical areas (districts) based on population and we use these "voter districts" to determine where we vote, which positions we vote for and who we wish to represent us. This self-governance includes deciding how tax monies are invested; what laws are needed; and, what types of services are provided and how they are managed.
As populations shift over time, we redraw (redistrict) these areas to reflect population changes and help ensure everyone is represented as fairly as possible. Thus, every 10 years (decennially), we perform a United States Census to gather statistical information about ourselves and we use this (in accordance with state, local and federal guidelines) to update the boundary lines of our voting districts.
In 2011, Richmond City Council will redraw (redistrict) the existing nine Richmond Voter District boundaries that we use to elect our local Richmond Elected Government Officials (which include: Members of Richmond City Council, Mayor of Richmond, Richmond Public Schools Board of Trustees) in response to results of the 2010 U.S. Census. Adjustments to voting precincts and locations may also be made at this time.
New Richmond Voter Districts are to be based on the 2010 Census population figures for Richmond (available from U.S. Census website, at www.census.gov) and the following criteria (the first five of which are mandatory) and the following four were adopted by Richmond City Council, by Council Resolution on February 28, 2011:
1. Equal population (Making voter districts, as near equal population as possible.)
2. Compactness (Making voter district shapes as closely packed as possible.)
3. Contiguity (Making voter district physically encompassed/connected, which may include spanning water.)
4. Avoidance of split U.S. Census Blocks (Not dividing the smallest geographic unit of census data when forming precincts/districts.)
5. Compliance with the Voting Rights Act (Redistricting Plan must comply with the U.S. Voting Rights Act and be approved by the U. S. Department of Justice
6. The 2011 redistricting plan should, if possible, avoid splits of voting precincts between the Council, School Board, state legislative and congressional election districts.
7. The 2011 redistricting plan should maximize voter convenience and the effective administration of elections.
8. The 2011 redistricting plan should preserve communities of interest.
9. The 2011 redistricting plan should, if possible, consolidate smaller voting precincts so that the number of registered voters in each precinct is at least the statewide average of 2,013.
As Richmond citizens, we use our Richmond Voter Districts to elect the following positions that are established in the Richmond City Charter:
Richmond City Charter Officials
• A Mayor (who must receive the most votes in at least five of the nine Richmond Voter Districts and who serves a 4-year term)
• Members of Richmond City Council (elected by Richmond Voter District to serve four-year terms)
• Richmond Public Schools Board Trustees (elected by Richmond Voter District to serve four-year terms)
Virginia Constitutional Officers (Elected Government Officials)
Additional local positions we elect persons to include Virginia Constitutional Officers, which serve at the Richmond level but are established by the Virginia Constitution and are independent of local government. These positions are elected in Richmond citywide (not by district) but voting may be affected due to changes to voting precincts and locations, they include:
• A Richmond Sheriff (elected citywide to serve a 4-year term)
• A Virginia Commonwealth’s Attorney of Richmond (elected citywide to serve a 4-year term)
• A Richmond Clerk of the Court (elected citywide to serve an 8-year term)
• A Richmond Treasurer (elected citywide to serve a 4-year term)
National and State Elected Government Officials
Voting for the following national and state positions may also be affected due to changes to Richmond voting precincts and locations (Note: Decennial redistricting of voter districts in which these positions are elected will be performed in 2011 by the Virginia General Assembly:
• A President/Vice President of the United States of America (elected nationally to serve a 4-year term)
• Members of the United States Senate (elected statewide to serve 6-year terms)
• Members of the United States House of Representatives (elected by state districts to serve 2-year terms)
• Members of the Virginia State Senate (elected by state districts to serve 4-year terms)
• Members of the Virginia House of Delegates (elected by state districts to serve 2-year terms)

Regarding the passing of retired Richmond Fire Lieutenant David Pulliam, Sr.
(Richmond, Virginia U.S.A.) - "The members of Richmond City Council express their heartfelt condolences to the family of retired Richmond Fire Lieutenant David Pulliam, Sr. on his passing, Wednesday, March 7, 2012.
A dedicated career firefighter, Lt. Pulliam, Sr. served honorably as a member of the Richmond Department of Fire and Emergency Services for 35 years where he earned many awards and recognitions and the respect of all those who knew him due to his dedication to duty, community and the fire service.
As further testament to his dedication and commitment, Lt. Pulliam, Sr. served his fellow firefighters and members of the Richmond Department of Fire and Emergency for 25 years as the President of the Richmond Chapter of the International Association of Firefighters, Local #995.
Known statewide for his efforts, Lt. Pulliam, Sr. also served career and volunteer firefighters from across the Commonwealth of Virginia for many years as President of the Virginia Fallen Firefighter Memorial Foundation.
Leading by example, Lt. Pulliam, Sr.'s son followed in his father's footsteps and David Pulliam, Jr. currently serves as a Battalion Chief for the Richmond Department of Fire and Emergency Services.
In America, public government and community service is considered to be among the most noble and important work a person can do and, through his service to Richmond families and our community, David Pulliam, Sr. proved his dedication to and support of the principles and creed written into the founding documents of our great Nation, in that our individual destinies and that of our families, communities, city, state and country include not only the aspiration of our federal constitutional republic but, the time, talent, investment, labor and dedication of all citizens in realizing the fulfillment of its promise.
David Pulliam, Sr. was known by and a friend of nearly all current and past members of Richmond City Council and its staff and all thoughts, hearts and prayers are with his family during this time in mourning his passing and in celebrating his life and legacy."

Updated/Additional Contact numbers Richmond City Council schedule for establishing Fiscal Year 2013 Richmond Government Budget
RICHMOND CITY COUNCIL
Richmond City Council – Richmond City Hall - 900 E. Broad Street, Suite 200 - Richmond, VA 23219 - www.council.richmondva.gov
COUNCIL PUBLIC INFORMATION NEWS ADVISORY
IMMEDIATE RELEASE TO BE FORWARDED AND SHARED
Tuesday 6, March 2012
Richmond City Council schedule for establishing Fiscal Year 2013 Richmond Government Budget
The Richmond Government Budget Includes: Richmond General Fund, Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), Special Funds, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, and Federal, State and additional funds for Richmond Public Schools
(Richmond, Virginia) As Americans, we pool our resources in order to own and operate our citizen-run governments. In doing so, we decide how we want our community to operate (laws); what public services we invest in (funding); the priority (investment levels) of services; and, how we pay for them (taxes/fees).
As the governing body of Richmond, Richmond City Council represents residents in determining the laws and government services they want. Thus, each year Richmond City Council establishes an annual Richmond Government Budget (In practice: An initial biennial (2-yr.) fiscal plan budget is established that is further amended in its second year.) and establishes a Richmond Real Estate Tax Rate to help pay for some of it (estimated 15%). Richmond is currently in the second year of a two-year fiscal plan.
Our Richmond government services include the management and delivery such things as the administration, management and delivery of clean/safe drinking water, streets and parks; trash/leaf/sewage removal; public transportation; police; firefighting/rescue; economic development; and, educating our children.
Our Richmond Government Budget includes the following six components: Richmond General Fund, Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), Special Funds, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, and Federal, State and additional funds for Richmond Public Schools.
Our Richmond Government operates on a Fiscal Year running July 1 to June 30 annually. The current Richmond Government Budget for FY 2012 is $1,447,745,909 and was established by Richmond City Council on May 23, 2011. It began July 1, 2011 and ends June 30, 2012.
Richmond City Council's review and establishment of a new budget for the upcoming fiscal year will include more than a dozen public meetings, hearings and work sessions. These meetings are free and open to the public and all Richmond residents are invited and encouraged to attend.
At the conclusion of the deliberations, Council will vote to officially establish an official Richmond Government Budget for the upcoming Fiscal Year (FY), which runs from July 1 to June 30 annually. Our Official Richmond Government Budget takes the form of laws, which are approved by Council as Ordinances. Council is scheduled to vote to establish a final budget during its regular Formal Council Meeting on Monday, May 14, 2012, beginning at 6:00 p.m.
The Richmond City Government Budget runs from July 1 to June 30 annually and the City operates on a two-year fiscal plan (Budget) that includes City General Fund, Capital Improvement Plan, Special Funds, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, the City’s contribution to Richmond Public Schools and additional state, federal, and other funds provided to Richmond Public Schools. The Budget is typically amended every year.
Richmond citizens are invited and encouraged to attend any and all of the public meetings and budget work sessions. While there is no public comment during the work sessions, citizens are invited to publicly address Council regarding the Budget during the Council Public Hearings.
The following is the Richmond City Council Comprehensive Schedule for establishing the Fiscal Year 2013 Richmond Government Budget. It includes budget review, work sessions public hearings and action dates. This schedule is subject to change.

Richmond City Council schedule for establishing Fiscal Year 2013 Richmond Government Budget
The Richmond Government Budget Includes: Richmond General Fund, Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), Special Funds, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, and Federal, State and additional funds for Richmond Public Schools
(Richmond, Virginia) As Americans, we pool our resources in order to own and operate our citizen-run governments. In doing so, we decide how we want our community to operate (laws); what public services we invest in (funding); the priority (investment levels) of services; and, how we pay for them (taxes/fees).
As the governing body of Richmond, Richmond City Council represents residents in determining the laws and government services they want. Thus, each year Richmond City Council establishes an annual Richmond Government Budget (In practice: An initial biennial (2-yr.) fiscal plan budget is established that is further amended in its second year.) and establishes a Richmond Real Estate Tax Rate to help pay for some of it (estimated 15%). Richmond is currently in the second year of a two-year fiscal plan.
Our Richmond government services include the management and delivery such things as the administration, management and delivery of clean/safe drinking water, streets and parks; trash/leaf/sewage removal; public transportation; police; firefighting/rescue; economic development; and, educating our children.
Our Richmond Government Budget includes the following six components: Richmond General Fund, Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), Special Funds, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, and Federal, State and additional funds for Richmond Public Schools.
Our Richmond Government operates on a Fiscal Year running July 1 to June 30 annually. The current Richmond Government Budget for FY 2012 is $1,447,745,909 and was established by Richmond City Council on May 23, 2011. It began July 1, 2011 and ends June 30, 2012.
Richmond City Council's review and establishment of a new budget for the upcoming fiscal year will include more than a dozen public meetings, hearings and work sessions. These meetings are free and open to the public and all Richmond residents are invited and encouraged to attend.
At the conclusion of the deliberations, Council will vote to officially establish an official Richmond Government Budget for the upcoming Fiscal Year (FY), which runs from July 1 to June 30 annually. Our Official Richmond Government Budget takes the form of laws, which are approved by Council as Ordinances. Council is scheduled to vote to establish a final budget during its regular Formal Council Meeting on Monday, May 14, 2012, beginning at 6:00 p.m.
The Richmond City Government Budget runs from July 1 to June 30 annually and the City operates on a two-year fiscal plan (Budget) that includes City General Fund, Capital Improvement Plan, Special Funds, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, the City’s contribution to Richmond Public Schools and additional state, federal, and other funds provided to Richmond Public Schools. The Budget is typically amended every year.
Richmond citizens are invited and encouraged to attend any and all of the public meetings and budget work sessions. While there is no public comment during the work sessions, citizens are invited to publicly address Council regarding the Budget during the Council Public Hearings.
The following is the Richmond City Council Comprehensive Schedule for establishing the Fiscal Year 2013 Richmond Government Budget. It includes budget review, work sessions public hearings and action dates. This schedule is subject to change. For the latest times and locations, please call the Richmond City Council Office of the City Clerk, at 804.646.7955.
