Maurice, Andrew and Al,

Thank you for your leadership during a most trying time. Your calm, decisive leadership has
been a rock for our community to build on. Please forward my appreciation to the men and
women of the Charlottesville Police Dept., the Charlottesville Fire Department and First
Responders and the city staff. I was in the middle of the chaos on Market St. yesterday and at
Fourth and Water immediately after the automobile attack and saw first hand the focused,
measured response to provocation and confrontation and the quick action by the medical first
responders.

Hello Phil, Brenda, Lisa, Alex and Stacy,
Here is a good article on land banks. My question is could a land bank be used to buy depreciated shopping center
sites, junk yards and underutilized surface parking lots, clean them up and then prepare them for sale to a private
developer with community benefit conditions attached, such as a certain number of units must be affordable and that
the project will generates this many local middle skill jobs? I ask because each of the 12 small area plans designated
by the 2013 comprehensive plan is dominated by these kinds of sites.

Hello Everyone,
As all of you know the “Unite the Right” rally scheduled for this weekend has generated quite a bit of
anxiety in our community. I do want to assure you that our police department, with the assistance of
the state police and our regional partners, is ready for any circumstance that may arise. They have been
working around the clock to prepare, and will have hundreds of law enforcement officials present to
protect our City.
A few tips and logistical issues to pass along:
 I have attached a statement from Captain Victor Mitchell from the police department detailing
the road closures this weekend.
 While the City of Charlottesville has approved a permit for the rally at McIntire Park, there is still
the potential for large crowds of people in Downtown Charlottesville.
 The City of Charlottesville Police Department is preparing for the possibility of people gathering
at both McIntire and Emancipation Parks. These plans may involve road closures on Saturday,
August 12.
 With large crowds of individuals with strongly held and potentially opposing beliefs, there is also
the potential for conflict. Those who live and work in the area of these events should exercise
their best judgment on the day of the rally and should avoid the area if they have concerns. Err
on the side of caution if in doubt.
 CPD and their law enforcement partners, primarily the Virginia State Police, will have a visible
presence in the City over the weekend for the purpose of ensuring this remains a peaceful
assembly, and for the safety and protection of people and property.
 There will be increased law enforcement patrols in neighborhoods adjacent to McIntire Park and
in Downtown Charlottesville.
 As logistical information is finalized and available, it will be released to the media and available
to the public online at the City’s website www.charlottesville.org under our “news” heading.
 On the day of the event, releases will be posted online to our regional emergency management
community website www.communityemergency.org
 Updates will also be posted throughout the day of August 12 via social media on Facebook at
www.facebook.com/charlotteville-police-department and Twitter at @cvillecityhall
I thank all of you who have participated in the planning for this weekend. This has been a true team
effort and reflects the values of our organization. Our City is dedicated to protecting the constitutional
rights of free assembly and free speech. The City has an obligation to protect not only those rights but
the people who seek to exercise them peacefully, and the broader community. We will do just that this
weekend. I would ask that you keep our public safety personnel and our community in your thoughts
and prayers as we continue to serve our City.
As always, I am deeply appreciative of your commitment to our community.
All the Best,

Maurice

MEDIA RELEASE
Statement by Captain Victor Mitchell
We know there are questions about where this rally will take place. Mr. Kessler
applied for a permit at Emancipation Park. The permit was granted for McIntire Park.
We are prepared for multiple possibilities and Charlottesville Police Department,

with assistance from the Virginia State Police, has plans in place to protect citizens in
both parks.
Individuals have a constitutional right to gather and peacefully protest. The

Police will be there to insure this takes place. We want people to have the opportunity
to express their opinions while keeping the protestors and our community safe.
We also want to point out that we still have a city to protect. I want to assure the
citizens of this city - if you call 911 for an emergency - a police officer will respond. We
have enlisted the assistance of the Albemarle County Police Department and the
University of Virginia Police Department. If you live in the city and call the police,
someone from one of the two agencies showing up to assist. Non-emergency calls for
service will be held by the Emergency Communications Center until conclusion of the
event.
As an alternative and to assist citizens reporting of non-emergency incidents, the

Charlottesville Police Department will have personnel available at the department to
handle telephone, walk-in and on-line reports in lieu of a response by an Officer. To file
an on-line report, please visit the Charlottesville Police Department web page,
https://www.charlottesville.org/police, and click on the link to file an on-line report.
There will be no road closures around McIntire Park other than the entrance to
McIntire Park from the Bypass next to the fire station. That will be closed. Parking for Mr.
Kessler’s group will be available in the park. Parking for counter demonstrators will be
available at Charlottesville High School. Those parking at CHS should arrive by taking the
250 bypass to Melbourne Rd entering CHS from the Melbourne entrance.
There may still be crowds downtown that will necessitate the road closures
surrounding Emancipation Park, we will be putting these in place as a precaution.

Attachments: C2 Letter Final 4-28-2008.pdf; ATT00001.txt; Tolbert C2 Letter 8-25-2008.pdf;
ATT00002.txt
Hello Brian and Alex,
Last week I met with several people from the Belmont Lofts condominium association (BLCA) about the status of a
city-owned parcel (referred to as C2) that the BLCA has maintained since 2008 (see letters attached that I received
from the BLCA.) Evidently a developer has met with the Belmont Carlton neighborhood association (with some
BLCA members present) to talk about "by right" development plans in the vicinity of the lofts that somehow involve
this parcel. Several members of the BLCA are concerned about the future use and ownership of this open space as a
result. I recall that the disposition of parcel C2 came before council awhile ago but I can't remember what transpired.
To clarify matters, I would like to meet with you both to discuss this situation sometime within the next couple of
weeks. Paige is copied on this email to assist with scheduling.
Many thanks.
Best,
Kathy

Mr. Tolbert,
I am writing you on behalf of the Belmont Lofts Condominium Association

concerning the city owned property adjacent to ours, (Charlottesville Tax Map 57, Parcel
145C), known as the “C2 property.” Based on agreements made between the city and the
developer of our property (described below), we have acted as caretakers of the C2
property for the past three years. At this time we would like to make some landscaping
improvements that we believe will benefit the site.
In the Staff Report to City Council November 5, 2001 on the subject of rezoning
the CSX property, of which the C2 property was part, says “The City portion along the
creek will be maintained on its upper plateau, along with the rest of the common space,
by the [Belmont Lofts Condominium] Association.” Our understanding of this
commitment, as conveyed to us by the property’s developer Stonehaus Development, is
that in return for this maintenance we would be allowed recreational use of the property.
No structures were to be erected nor any modifications made that were inconsistence with
the Va DEQ’s remediation plan. Our association’s organizing documents incorporate this
understanding and commit us to the maintenance of the property.
Currently the property is unattractive. Several attempts to reseed the grass that
was originally planted have not been very effective. Without vegetation coverage the
property is subject to slow erosion, which will slowly weaken the topsoil barrier that
contains the contaminated subsoil, buried on the site. If this continues, in time runoff will
begin to contaminate the adjacent stream.
Our interest is to beautify and protect the property and improve the neighborhood
environment by expanding and enhancing the existing green-space. We also hope to
ensure the continued safety of the C2 property by reinforcing the stability of the topsoil
containment grading.
We believe that by planting some additional trees and shrubs we will be able to do
all these things. Trees and shrubs may grow where grass has thus far done poorly, and
1 of 2
should help stabilize the topsoil. Currently the plateau of the C2 property looks little
more than an empty lot. Some careful plantings will reclaim this sterile space and provide
the immediate neighborhood with more natural appearing green space.
We are eager to work with the city to achieve our mutual goals of maintaining the
property in a safe and attractive manner. We would like the guidance and expertise of the
Charlottesville Department of Parks and Recreation on how best to achieve this. Our
goal is to continue the role of stewardship, set out when our property was rezoned, in a
responsible manner. We believe that making some improvements to the C2 property’s
landscaping is consistent with this and will benefit the mutual interests of the City, the
neighborhood, and the residents of the Belmont Lofts.
Thank you for your time and attention in this matter. I respectfully request that
you send us a response so that we might know that our plans are in keeping with our
agreements with the city.
Sincerely,
Joshua M. Rady

Dear Mr. Rady:
Thank you for your letter regarding the Belmont lofts Condominium Association desire to use
the·city-owned property adjacent to yours (Charlottesville Tax Map 57, Parcel 145C) known' as the "C2
Property". I believe the proposal that you have made to plant this site in order to stabilize and beautify
is quite appropriate. I have researched the approvals given to the property ,and you are correct that
while it remains City property, your association has the right to maintain and use the property as
recreation space.
Please be advised that should the association invest in any improvement and upkeep of the
property, while that is appreciated, it is done at the risk that the City may at some point need the
property for other uses. If that is the case, the association will not be compensated for your investment.
Although we do not anticipate a need for the property, there is that outside chance.
Thank you for your desire to maintain the property in a safe and attractive manner. I am
forwarding a copy of this letter to Mike Svetz, Director of Parks and Recreation so that he is aware of our
conversation. Please feel free to contact him for advice on how to best maintain the site.

Subject: CBI concerns
Maurice, Al, Gary, Mike:
This is a special request regarding Congregation Beth Israel. I just spoke with Rabbi Tom Gutherz
there. Their current plans are to have a single outside security guard on Friday night and during the day
on Saturday. They have services at 6:15 p.m. on Friday night and 9-11 a.m. on Saturday. They are
obviously right next to Emancipation Park.
The rhetoric on the online sites right now is quite intensely anti-Semitic. This post on Daily Stormer
about the rally ends reads, "Next stop: Charlottesville, VA. Final stop: Auschwitz." This post on Daily
Stormer reads, "the cops are siding with us over the evil Jew Mayor Michael Singer and his Negroid
Deputy Wes Bellamy. We have it on good authority that the Chief of police is going to ensure that the
protest goes through as planned, regardless of what the ruling kike/Negroid powers are attempting." I
listened to a podcast yesterday with two of the organizers and they referred negatively to Jews and to the
fact that a synagogue was "two blocks away" from the rally. They also talked about how on Friday night
roving bands of ralliers will be defying restaurants who deny them service. This could add an element of
unpredictability on Friday night as well.
Given all of these variables I feel it would be prudent for us to have a more overt police presence near
CBI. Rabbi Gutherz suggested a car stationed in front of the building, and an offer nearby, which is the
customary practice during High Holidays services.
I would be grateful if I could connect someone from CPD to Rabbi Gutherz and CBI's Executive Director
Kathyrn Mawyer (I just forwarded you a message she sent).
Thanks in advance,
Mike

VDOT. Second, I reached out to Delegate David Toscano, who is more than happy to meet with me, Mayor Signer,
city staff and your colleague on the CTB, Carlos Brown to discuss costs associated with under grounding utilities (a
third of the project budget). The latter is the reason for my email however.
Would you advise that I first contact Mr. Brown either by phone or email, to explain the purpose of our meeting,
before sending him an invitation to this meeting? If you have other suggestions, those too would be
appreciated. Many thanks for all of your assistance to date on this important project.

Subject: Command Center Update
Council,
Here’s your first update of the day:
 The Command Center is up and running in Downtown. Representatives from the Police
Department, City Manager’s Office (Mike and I), Virginia State Police, and our Regional
Emergency Operations Center are present.
 The Joint Information Center (JIC) is also open in Downtown with Public Information Officers
from the City and Virginia State Police overseeing communications.
 The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is also open at Zehmer Hall
 Last night’s march resulted in a couple of minor injuries and one arrest. As the great
majority of the march occurred on the grounds of the University the law enforcement
response was coordinated by UVA police. We offered assistance yesterday evening and
were told they had “ample” resources. We provided assistance once called upon by
UVA. That occurred pretty much after the altercation between the alt right group and the
counter protestors.
 The streets around Emancipation Park have been closed. City and State Police are located
throughout downtown. We will have a significant presence today.
All the Best,

Mr. Mayor,
Feel free to use this if you’d like:
“We are angry about what happened in our City today. This is not the Charlottesville that we know and
love. This is not the Charlottesville that welcomes people of all backgrounds and cherishes our diversity.
We ask our residents to join us in praying for those who were injured in the heartbreaking incident on
Water Street. And for everyone’s safety as we continue to address this emergency situation.”

Louis -- in the event that UVA does not become the location for UnityCville programming, I wanted to
connect you with Leslie Bowman at Monticello, who has played a leading role in recent weeks in leading
the community to develop proactive steps about the activities the community has on 8/12 and the story
that is told, and my wife Emily Blout, also an incoming Media Studies professor at UVA, who has a lot of
experience in these matters. We just got off a call with Joshua Dubois, who had previously put us in
touch with Reverend Barber, also included here. All, Louis is Vice Provost for Outreach at UVA and has
done a ton of work advocating internally for them playing a role.
Louis, we brainstormed on our call a bit about alternative locations and the potential speakers still in the
mix, and were thinking about a UVA leader with bandwidth and energy to help put together
activities. Especially if Grounds doesn't work out, you naturally leaped to mind. So I just wanted to
make the quick connection now. We still have invitations out to John Lewis and Michelle Obama and
others as well. One possible new location that came up is Piedmont Virginia Community College, which
could certainly handle a couple of thousand people who might see a major speaker. I'm reaching out to
Frank Friedman as well.
Feel free to update us, and we will send around news as different invitees come back in. I'm also looping
Maurice and Mike with the City so they're informed.
Thanks,
Mike

weekend?

Subject: Crisis Communications
All:
I just got off a conference call with Leslie Bowman and Monticello and Joshua Dubois, who runs Value
Partnerships. Leslie has taken an especially strong interest in the image that the region comes out of
August 12 with. I've briefed Maurice and Mike on this before. They are strongly recommending, given
our experience from July 8, that we consider retaining a crisis communications firm to help us over the
next week to help craft the image that the City comes out of this week and next weekend with.
They can help with social media. They could pitch op-eds, guide media that comes out of the weekend,
and direct more coverage and video toward unity-related events. Joshua, for instance, pointed out that
the USA Today story does feature a young girl holding up a hope
sign: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2017/07/08/kkk-holds-rally-virginia-and-met-
protesters/462146001/ We want more of that. And of course they can help handle unanticipated crises
that come up.
I've asked to receive three proposals by noon tomorrow. The expected range of expense would be
between $5,000 and $15,000. I expect that Council would support this. I will send you what I hear
next.

Hi Chris –
I’m sitting next to Corinne, so this is a comprehensive response.
There was no such order issued at any time by any authority or at any level yesterday.
Charlottesville Police is the lead agency with support of the Virginia State Police and our
other local partners. Law enforcement personnel were staged in multiple locations
around Emancipation and McIntire Park and road closures for rapid response. Officers
responded to a number of fights in and around the park and the City. You can see video
of some of this response on the Virginia State Police Facebook page.
Hope that helps.

Corinne,
I hope you’re OK. I have a few questions about what happened yesterday.
Did VSP and local police receive ‘stand down’ orders for the rally yesterday? I’ve heard
many anectdotes alleging that or that police had orders to not intervene in any of the
street fighting unless they were ordered to do so … by someone. Not sure who that
would be. (CPD Capt. Victor Mitchell? Chief Al Thomas? A VSP commander?)
Can you please help clear the air on this?
Who was in charge of the scene in Emancipation Park, the general downtown area? And
were there specific orders to LEO assigned to the area about what should be done in
case of fighting in the streets?

Subject: Dewberry/parking
Craig, Maurice, Chris -- in calmer waters, I received a call from Jason Hicks today, Dewberry's
attorney. This was about the bid that would need to happen for the parking piece to go forward. He
was advising that an ordinance needs to be passed, and Council choose a bid, and an advertisement
placed ahead of time, and a couple of other pieces I'm probably unaware of. All that seems fine to
me. The main concern he had was time (the minimum seems to be two months) and making sure that
this gets into process and our planned agendas sooner rather than later, which I also strongly support.
I of course would like to know any complexities or issues of which I'm unaware, but setting those aside,
this is a request to all parties that we expedite Council's consideration in upcoming meetings of the items
necessary to the parking part of the agreement for the redevelopment of the Landmark Hotel. If we could
get started in September I think that would be ideal.
Please advise. Thanks as always.

Subject: draft statement of economic principles for a Creative, Equitable, Place-based economy
Attachments: CreativeEquitablePlaceBased_GALVIN080317.docx; ATT00001.htm
Hello Council,
As you know, we will be discussing an MOU on Economic Development with

the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors (BOS) during the Summit on
September 19. What you may or may not know however, is that the County
already has its own “Economic Vitality Action Plan” (created in 2010 and
amended in 2012.) It therefore may make sense for the Charlottesville City
Council to establish its own set of economic principles prior to engaging in a
discussion about economic development with the BOS at this year's Summit.
The “three legged stool” of Creative, Equitable and Place-Based was actually born
out of our discussions last year during the City/County Summit in October 2016.
Please let me know individually, if you’d be interested in discussing and possibly

adopting something like this short set of principles prior to the Summit so it can
get on either the August 21, September 5 or September 18 agenda. I also welcome
working with one other councilor and staff, to word smith this document.
Again, please just respond to me so as to avoid violating open meeting laws. Many
thanks.
Best,
Kathy

VERIFIED COMPLAINT
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
1. The First Amendment guarantees political speech, including protest, the highest
level of protection—and the right to speak out is most robust in traditional public fora, including
public parks and streets. Since this country’s founding, people have taken to the parks, streets, and
sidewalks to make their voices heard on matters of public concern. This case is about viewpoint
discrimination by Defendants against Plaintiff. Plaintiffs views are highly controversial and have
evoked strong protests and demands heard by City Council that his permit be revoked.
2. Plaintiff seeks to exercise his protected right to protest in a public park by
organizing a rally in Emancipation Park (“the Park”) on August 12, 2017.

3. Plaintiff wishes to communicate a message that relates directly to the Park—
specifically, his opposition to the City’s decisions to rename the Park, which was previously
known as “Lee Park,” and its plans to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee from the Park.
4. On June 13, 2017, Defendants granted Plaintiff a permit to hold his rally in the Park
on August 12, 2017. In the following weeks. Defendants granted organizations that oppose
Plaintiffs message permits to counter-protest in other public parks just blocks away from the Park.
5. On August 7, 2017, less than a week before the long-planned and permitted event
in the Park, however, Defendants notified Plaintiff in a press conference and by letter (Exhibit B)
that they were revoking Plaintiffs permit and “modif{yingj” their permission to allow Plaintiff to
hold his rally in Mclntire Park only. Mclntire Park is not connected to Plaintiffs message, and is
located more than a mile from the Park.
6. In the August 7 letter, Defendants explained their decision by saying that “it [camel
to the City’s attention that many thousands of individuals are likely to attend the demonstration.”
Defendants further asserted that the City would be “unable to accommodate safely even a peaceful
crowd of this size” in the Park.
7. Defendants have permitted events with audiences numbering several thousand in
the Park in the past, and the events have proceeded without incident. The Charlottesville Police
Department has never before suggested that it would be unable to handle crowds downtown during
festivals held in Emancipation Park that have drawn many thousands of people.
8. While the government may impose narrowly-drawn time, place, and manner
restrictions on the exercise of the rights to speak, petition or assemble, including permit
requirements, the First Amendment prohibits the government from blocking a protest based on its
content or viewpoint, or based on how the government anticipates others will respond to the
2
protest. The revocation of Plaintiffs permit was based on his viewpoint and was not necessary to
achieve any compelling governmental interest.
9. Plaintiffs constitutional rights will be violated, and irreparable harm will result, if
the Court does not provide immediate relief enjoining Defendants from preventing or impeding
Plaintiffs constitutional rights to free speech, petition, and assembly.
PARTIES
10. Plaintiff Jason Kessler is an adult natural person who resides in the Commonwealth
of Virginia.
II. Defendant City of Charlottesville (“the City”) is a political sub-division of the
Commonwealth of Virginia.
12. Defendant Maurice Jones is an adult natural person who is the City Manager for
the City of Charlottesville in the Commonwealth of Virginia. At all times relevant, Defendant
Jones acted and continues to act under color of state law. Defendant Jones is sued in his official
and individual capacities.
JURISDICTION AND VENUE
13. This case arises under the United States Constitution and the laws of the United
States. The case presents a federal question within this Court’s jurisdiction under Article III of
the Constitution and 28 U.S.C. § 1331; this Court also has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1343(3)
to redress the deprivation, under color of state law, of any right, privilege, or immunity secured
by the Constitution of the United States.
14. The case seeks remedies under 28 U.S.C. § 2201 and 2202,42 U.S.C. § 1983
and 1988, and Fed. R. Civ. P. 65. This Court may issue a temporary restraining order and
preliminary injunction pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b).

3
15. Venue is proper in this district under 28 U.S.C. § 139 1(b) because a substantial
part of the events or omissions giving rise to Plaintiffs claims occurred in this District.
STATEMENT OF FACTS
From Lee Park to Emancipation Park
16. The City of CharlottesvilLe owns the park bounded by Jefferson Street, First Street
N.E., Market Street and Second Street N.E (“the Park”).
17. HistoricalLy, the Park was known as “Lee Park.” On June 5,2017, the City renamed
the Park “Emancipation Park.”
18. Emancipation Park houses a statue of Robert E. Lee. The City plans to sell the
statue and have it removed from the Park,
19. The City’s decision to rename the Park and sell the statue have resulted in a number
of protests in the Park, one involving a gubernatorial candidate and another an unpermitted
nighttime torchlit march on May 13, 2017 in which Plaintiff and others who plan to attend the
12h
August rally participated.
20. Plaintiff opposes both the name change and the planned removal of the statue. To
communicate his political message, Plaintiff sought to organize a “Unite the Right” rally in the
Park to express opposition to both decisions by the City.
21. Plaintiffs choice of location is critical to the message of the rally, which
specifically opposes two City policy choices about the Park. Holding the protest elsewhere would
dilute and alter Plaintiffs message.
Defendants Granted Plaintiffs Permit
4
22. Defendants require persons wishing to exercise their First Amendment rights on its
public land to obtain a permit from the City’s Events Coordinator. See City of Charlottesville
Standard Operating Procedure (“SOP”) § 3.2.
23. Wishing to exercise his right, Plaintiff duly submitted an application to the City of
Charlottesville on May 30, 2017. Plaintiff applied for a permit to hold a “[f]ree speech rally in
support of the Lee monument” in the Park on Saturday, August 12, 2017. (Exhibit A).
24. In the permit application, Plaintiff estimated that approximately four hundred
people would demonstrate at the planned rally. (Exhibit A).
25. Pursuant to City of Charlottesville SOP § 3.4.6(b), the City granted Plaintiffs
permit application on June 13, 2017.
Defendants Revoked Plaintiffs Permit
26. On August 7, 2017, more than a month after granting the permit and less than a
week before the planned rally—Defendant Maurice Jones sent Plaintiff a letter on behalf of the
City. (Exhibit B).
27. In the Letter, Defendants “denied” or “revoke[d]” the permit for the demonstration
in Emancipation Park. (Exhibit B)
28. Defendants also purported to “modiflyf Plaintiffs permit “to specify that the
demonstration take place at Mclntire Park,” rather than the Park. (Exhibit B)
29. Mclntire Park is not connected to Plaintiffs message, which centers on the City’s
policy decisions regarding Emancipation Park and the Lee statue in the Park.
30. In addition, Mclntire Park is located more than a mile away from Emancipation
Park.
5
3!. Relocating to Mclntire Park would substantially undermine Plaintiff’s ability to
communicate his message about the renaming of Emancipation Park and the decision to remove
the Lee statue from the Park.
32. Defendants say they revoked the permit for Emancipation Park because “it [came)
Defendants did not identify the source of this estimate. Based on the unsupported crowd estimate,
Defendants asserted that the City would be “unable to accommodate safely even a peaceful crowd
of this size” in Emancipation Park, and that “the presence of such a large demonstration in
Emancipation Park would . . . lead[ Ito massive traffic congestion[.j” (Exhibit B).
33. Defendants have acknowledged that “[t)he use of Mclntire Park will still require
the deployment of considerable law enforcement resources[.J
34. Moreover, the City Police Department is now preparing for the possibility that
people will gather at both parks during the rally. The City has announced that it plans to deploy
resources in the downtown area at and around Emancipation Park, negating any possible safety or
traffic congestion benefit from moving the rally to Mclntire Park.
35. In the August 7, 2017 letter, Defendants said that holding the rally in Emancipation
Park would “lead[ to massive traffic congestion” due to road closures. Moving the rally to
Mclntire Park has not alleviated this concern. Instead, the City’s preliminary plans for managing
the August 12 events include the possibility of road closures during the rally. (Exhibit B)
36. The City granted permits for demonstrations opposing Plaintiffs views to occur on
August 12, 2017 in Justice and McGuffey Parks locatedjust blocks away from Emancipation Park
in the same downtown area. Those demonstrations are said to be organized to protest “the messages
of racial intolerance and hatred advocated by” the persons attending the demonstration in the Park.
6
Upon information and belief, the organizers of these other events have encouraged and expect an
attendance of more than 1,000 persons.
37. Despite their allegation that the decision to revoke Plaintiffs permit was not based
on the views he wishes to express, but on the numbers of possible participants, Defendants have
taken no action to modify or revoke the permits issued for demonstrations by (hose with opposing
views.
38. The City’s concerns about holding the rally in the Park appear to stem, at least in
part, from fears of how counter-protesters will respond to the rally. In explaining its plans to
prepare for rallies at both Emancipation Park and Mclntire Park, the City explained that “[wjith
large crowds of individuals with strongly held and potentially opposing beliefs, there is also the
potential for conflict.” See City preparing for large crowds Saturday, Daily Progress (Aug. 9,
2017), available at \ L LI gres mine s/cH\ -lucp4II!1g I” Ligs
satLIaIa\/artiLlc 94U I Nc(ic-EH7 Ic 1)(}ILjLj ;,jc9i b.htnil (emphasis added). This builds on
the City’s experience during the Ku Klux Rally in downtown Charlottesville on July 8, 2017,
during which the Charlottesville Police Department asserted that counter-protesters were involved
in an “unlawful assembly” and used tear gas to disperse the counter-protests.
Defendants’ Reason for Revocation
39. The Defendants claim that the decision to revoke and modify Plaintiffs permit was
a “numbers” decision based on a belief that “many thousands” of people both supportive of
Plaintiff and opposed to Plaintiff would attend. No information about the basis for this belief was
given by Defendants although some have cited a Facebook event for the demonstration which
currently indicates that 700 plus people are “goingS’ and another 1,300 people are “interested.”
(Exhibit G). There is no estimate offered for the number of counter-protestors.
7
40. This Park has been for many years a traditional forum for the exercise of First
Amendment rights. Numerous other groups have protested and demonstrated and held other events
in the Park. Defendant has provided no information about the capacity of the Park, although the
August 7, 2017 letter says that the Park is just over one acre in size. This court may take judicial
notice of the facts that an acre is 4840 square yards, or 43,560 square feet and average adults (50-
50 male-female) take up a cross-sectional area of about 1.5 to 2.0 square feet at chest or hip level.
Taking those facts and applying basic math (dividing the number of square feet in an acre by the
area taken up by average adults) an estimate of the number of people that could be accommodated
standing on an acre of land would be between 29,040 and 21,780 people per acre.
41. The Charlottesville Police Department has the ability to deploy not only its own
officers to provide protection of PlaintifFs exercise of his First Amendment rights but also officers
from the Virginia State Police, other local law enforcement agencies, and, potentially, the Virginia
National Guard. This was demonstrated during the July 8,2017 Ku Klux Klan rally.
42. At the press conference held on August?, 2017 at which the Defendants announced
the decision to revoke PlaintifFs permit, the Charlottesville Police Chief never said that his
department could not provide adequate protection for Plaintiff’s proposed rally at Emancipation
Park using City’s active duty police force and, if necessary, additional local, state and federal
forces. The ChieFs statement included information about why his department felt that having the
demonstration in Mclntire Park would be “safer” but did not say that the Department would be
“unable” to protect the safety of demonstrators, counter-demonstrators and the public in the
downtown Emancipation Park location, especially if the City enacts the preliminary plans for road
closures announced on August 9, 2017.
8
43. The City can rely on other local, state and federal forces to adequately manage the
rally if necessary. On August 9, 2017, the City announced that its police department has been
working with other police agencies, including the Virginia State Police, to prepare for the rally and
that the local and state forces together intend to “have a visible presenc&’ at the rally. While
members of the National Guard have not yet been called upon, the City stated that the National
Guard Forces will monitor events and will respond if needed.
44. The City’s claim that it cannot safely manage a demonstration involving 400 people
and possibly “thousands” is belied by the fact that the City routinely manages crowds of up to
3,500 people at the Sprint Pavilion on the Downtown Mall and previously has granted permits for
rallies and events with “thousands” of attendees in Emancipation Park without incident or
intervention from the City. For example, in 2013, 2014 and 2015 an estimated minimum 2,000
people attended the Cville Pride Festival in Emancipation Park each year. Upon information and
belief, thousands of people attend an annual Spring block party in Emancipation Park. On May 14,
2016, it was reported that “thousands” of people gathered in Lee Park [sicj [or a Festival of
Cultures event. (Exhibit H).
45. People also have been allowed to demonstrate in the Park without permits in
circumstances where the number of potential participants could not be forecast. On May 14, 2017
after a torch lit demonstration the previous night protesting the renaming of Emancipation Park
and proposed removal of the Lee Statue, a candlelight vigil was held in the Park by counter
protestors without incident. Neither event was permitted. (Exhibit I).
46. The City has also allowed at least one event promoting a progressive point of view
supported by the Mayor to take place on public grounds in a downtown area smaller than
Emancipation Park without a permit. On January 31, 2017, there was a demonstration in front of
9
Charlottesville City Hall (not sponsored by the City) at which Mayor Michael Signer proclaimed
Charlottesville the “Capital [sic] of the Resistance” after the inauguration of Donald Trump. The
event drew as many as seven hundred attendees. No permit was obtained by the organizers in
advance nor was there any response by Defendants after the fact to sanction the organizers for
holding such a rally without the required City permit. Leading up to this event, a Facebook event
page listed 487 people as “going” and another 951 as being “interested.” (Exhibit H). Mayor Signor
remarked after the event that he was “stunned by the huge, spontaneous turnout on such short
notice which I think is evidence of how strongly folks feel about standing up for American values.’
47. The City has expressed a preference for the counter-protesters. On August 9,2017,
a spokeswoman for the City encouraged individuals to “consider attending [events on counter
programming to the rally].” The City has never encouraged individuals to consider attending
Plaintiff’s rally.
48. Members of the City Council who have the authority to hire and fire Defendant
Jones have made clear their opposition to Plaintiff’s political viewpoint. On June 21, 2017, Mayor
Michael Signer described the planned August 12ih

rally’s content and speakers as “racist and
bigoted.” (Exhibit C). Previously, after a candlelight vigil held as a counter protest to a “torch” lit
demonstration against the Park renaming decision the night before, Mayor Signer issued a public
statement saying that “intolerance is not welcome here” and the next day tweeted a picture of the
May 14, 2017 vigil with the caption, “Candlelight vigil against hatc in Cvillc. These arc the kind
of”torches” I like to see.” (Exhibit F and Exhibit E). On August 2,2017, Vice Mayor Wes Bellamy
responded to a tweet from the Twitter handle “Solidarity Cville,” which described the “Unite the
Right” rally as “fascism” and called for confronting the event, with “this is dope! #Resist.” (Exhibit
J)
10
49. At the Charlottesville City Council meeting on Monday, July 17, 2017, 13 of the
15 people who spoke during the public comment period either criticized the actions of the
Charlottesville Police Department and the Virginia State Police during and after the Ku Klux Klan
rally on July 8 or advocated that the permit granted to Plaintiff for the August 12u1
demonstration
be revoked or reissued for Mclntire Park because of their opposition to the Plaintiff’s message or
both. When the City Manager began to respond to the public comments about the police actions at
gth
the July event taken against counter-demonstrators during and after the Ku Klux Klan
representatives were demonstrating, the crowd became disruptive, yelling “liar,” and the Mayor
suspended the meeting rather than have police personnel remove those who were disrupting the
City Manager’s comments.
50. On July 27, 2017,43 downtown businesses wrote a letter to Council demanding
that the City treat the planned August l2 demonstration like a public event and impose additional
requirements on the organizer and that it consider moving the event because of the risk to public
safety and their businesses. One business owner who signed the letter said that “the organizer and
other would-be attendees” at the demonstration had “crossed the line from free speech to basically
a call to imminent lawless action.”
51. In an interview with CBS l9News on July 12” Plaintiff said that he “absolutely
intends to have a peaceful rally.” Plaintiff added that he expected 400 people from around the
country to attend and promised that his group would “avoid violence.” In the same news story,
critics of Plaintiff said that they would encourage their members to show up “in large numbers”
and argued that the police should not show up because they “put people in danger.”
52. Despite representations that the decision to revoke the Plaintiffs permit was made
by Defendant City Manager, there was a closed three-hour meeting of City Council on August 2,
11
2017 at which Defendant City Manager, the City Attorney and other staff including some
representatives of law enforcement were present. Council issued a statement that evening about
the subject of the meeting: “This evening, Charlottesville City Council met in closed session to
consult with legal counsel and staff regarding the best options to keep the community safe during
the August 12 Unite the Right Rally while preserving the 1st amendment rights of participants.”
53. The Plaintiff met with Defendant City Manager Maurice Jones, Park’s Business
Operations Supervisor Michelle Christian and Police Captain Wendy Lewis the morning of
Monday, August 7th. At the meeting, the Defendant City Manager asked the Plaintiff to accept the
City’s decision to modify his permit for Mclntire Park. Plaintiff asked the City Manager what the
occupancy limit for Emancipation Park would be and asked if the permit could be kept in place if
he agreed to keep the crowd size within that limit. The Defendant would or could not give Plaintiff
an occupancy limit number. Then, Plaintiff asked Defendant whether he could maintain the permit
if he agreed to have the attendance limited to 400. The Defendant City Manager did not respond
and proceeded to implement his decision to revoke and modify the permit as described in the
August 7 letter without providing an answer or seeking to resolve any legitimate public safety
concerns Defendants might have about hoLding the demonstration in Emancipation Park.
54. Later on August 7th, after the press conference where the City announced that the
permit for Emancipation Park was revoked, Plaintiff entered a closed door meeting with Captain
Lewis, Chief of Police Al Thomas and Incident Commander Captain Victor Mitchell. Plaintiff
asked if the police would still enforce previously agreed upon security arrangements for the Unite
the Right demonstration in the Park whether there was a permit for that site or not. The Chief of
Police indicated in the affirmative. Plaintiff asked the Chief if the police would still keep counter
demonstrators out of the park prior to the Unite the Right demonstration and he indicated in the
12
affirmative. Plaintiff also asked Chief Thomas if the police would still set up barricades around
the park and allow Unite the Right to control access into the park via two entrance points on the
Market Street side of the park as was previously agreed upon. He indicated in the affirmative.
55. The next day on Tuesday, August 8th Plaintiff met with Captain Lewis, Captain
Mitchell and one other police official. They told Plaintiff that Chief Thomas changed his mind and
that the Plaintiffs demonstration would receive none of the protections in Emancipation Park
promised the day before. The police representatives also told Plaintiff that the police would only
keep people out of Lee Park until 6am when it typically opens instead of allowing Unite the Right
to restrict access to their demonstrators as had previously been agreed. The police said that the
Park would be divided in half between demonstrators and counter-demonstrators. Plaintiff asked
how the police intended to tell one from the other or to preserve distinct areas for demonstrators
with opposing views. The police representatives told Plaintiff that there was no plan for them to
do that, so theoretically the counter-demonstrators would not only still have permits for the two
other parks in the area (McGuffey and Justice) but also be allowed to occupy all of Emancipation
Park without a permit being issued.
56. Before Leaving the meeting on August 8th. PLaintiff asked if Parks and
Recreation would allow use of the power or water in the park and they said no. Plaintiff asked
why all these changes had been made to security and the policy of Parks and Rec and if this was
due to political pressure. Capt. Lewis indicated affirmatively with her facial expression and body
language.
57. Thus, with his scheduled rally only two days away, Plaintiff does not have a permit
enabling him to demonstrate in Emancipation Park, and counter-demonstrators have two
downtown permits and the ability to occupy Emancipation Park without a permit.
13
58. Unless Defendants and their agents are enjoined, Plaintiff, other similarly-situated
protesters who share his views, and other members of the public will be irreparably harmed as they
will be prevented from peacefully gathering to express their views on pressing issues of public
concern at a time, place and in a manner reasonable for them to do so.
CLAIM FOR RELIEF

FIRST AND FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS
42 U.S.C. § 1983
59. The foregoing paragraphs of this Complaint are incorporated by reference as if each
is fully set forth herein.
60. Defendants’ revocation of the requested permit violated—and, unless enjoined by
this Court, will continue to violate—Plaintiff’s rights to freedom of speech, assembly, and petition
as guaranteed by the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.
61. The Defendants’ revocation of Plaintifrs permit was based on his viewpoint and
was not necessary to achieve any compelling government interest, in violation of the First and
Fourteenth Amendments;
62. To the extent that the revocation of the permit was based on crowd size, the
revocation was not narrowly tailored to a substantial government interest, and did not leave open
alternative means of communication.
REQUEST FOR RELIEF

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays that this Honorable Court:
A. Enter judgment declaring that Defendants’ revocation, denial andlor modification of
Plaintiffs requested permit to hold a demonstration in Emancipation Park on August 12,
2017 violates the First and Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution;
14
B. Enter a temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunction enjoining Defendants to
permit the demonstration to go on as planned in Emancipation Park on August 12, 2017
from 12pm to 5pm and to provide such security as may be necessary to protect the rights
of the demonstrators and the public.
C. Award Plaintiff his costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees in this action;
D. Grant Plaintiff such other and further relief, including damages for the violation of
Plaintifrs constitutional rights, as the Court may deem just and proper.
Respectfully submitted,

Dear Mr. Kessler:
I write on behalf of the City’s Department of Parks and Recreation in reference to your
May 30, 2017 application for a permit to conduct a demonstration in Emancipation Park on
August 12, 2017. While demonstrations are typically handled through that Department, the
unprecedented size and scope of your rally at its proposed Downtown location requires me, as
the City official charged with the general supervision and control of City property, to review
your request in light of its significant impact on the community.
Based on information provided to me by law enforcement officials, the City has

decided to approve your application for a permit to hold a demonstration on the day and at the
times requested, provided that you use Melntire Park, rather than Emancipation Park, for your
demonstration. To the extent that the permit is deemed granted due to inaction within tcn days of
receipt of the application, the City hereby modifies the permit, based on the above-referenced
information, to specify that the demonstration take place at Mclntire Park. If you are unwilling to
use the Mclntire Park location, the permit for Emancipation Park is hereby denied pursuant to
section 3.4.5 of the City’s Standard Operating Procedure (“SOP”) for Special Events and
Demonstrations or, if the Permit is deemed granted due to inaction within ten days of receipt of
the application, the City hereby revokes the permit pursuant to section 3.4.7 of the City SOP.
Your permit application states that the demonstration will consist of approximately 400
people. However, in recent days it has come to the City’s attention that many thousands of
individuals are likely to attend the demonstration. Because Emancipation Park is a relatively
confined space of just over one acre in a densely populated urban area with limited parking
space, it is unable to accommodate safely even a peaceful crowd of this size. The City’s law
enforcement, fire and emergency medical services personnel cannot adequately protect people
and property in and around Emancipation Park due to the number of anticipated attendees trying
to occupy such a small and confined space. The Police Department also anticipates that the
presence of such a large demonstration in Emancipation Park would require the closing of a
section of East Market Street, leading to massive traffic congestion and shutting down a principal
means of ingress and egress, for the duration of the 5 hour rally.
EHIBIT
Mr. Kessler
Page Two
A large demonstration at Mclntire Park does not present the same problems. The use of
Mclntire Park will still require the deployment of considerable law enforcement resources, but
the size, layout and other features of the Park will better enable the City’s law enforcement and
other emergency personnel to protect the attendees and the public. In contrast, holding such a
large rally at Emancipation Park poses an unacceptable danger to public order and safety.
In our last conversation you were insistent that the rally take place at Emancipation Park.
We ask that you reconsider that position. The City reserves all rights should you decide not to
abide by the terms of your approved permit.
Sincerely,
Maurice Jones
City Manager

Statement on the Demonstration at Lee Park
This event involving torches at night in Lee

Park was either profoundly ignorant or was
designed to instill fear in our minority
populations in a way that hearkens back to the
days of the KKK. Either way, as mayor of this
City, I want everyone to know this: we reject
this intimidation. We are a Welcoming City, but
such intolerance is not welcome here.

Charlottesville Mayor Dodges Permit, Fees, Insu

for “Capital of the Resistance” Rally
Posted By Rob SchHIing On February 15, 2017 © 1:10 PM In Local Government I
Comments
A January 31 “Capital of the Resistance [1]” rally in downtown Charlottesville [2], convened
by Mayor Michael Signer [3], was held without a permit, according to City spokesperson,
Miriam Dickler—and apparently without the payment of legally codified costs and fees.
Media reports [4] estimated attendance anywhere from “several hundred” to seven hundred
people.
City “Standard Operating Procedures” policy #100-04, “Special Events Regulation [5]”
stipulates:
That the process is in place to “...ensure public convenience in the use of city streets and
outdoor areas, the preservation of public order and safety, and the defraying of
administrative expenses associated with certain types of uses.” [Section 1.0 Purpose]
That the City Manager (Maurice Jones [6]) is responsible for managing such events, and that
City departments (police, fire, public works, and Neighborhood Development Services)
review event applications. [Section 2.0 City Departments/Organizations Affected]
That Signer’s event would likely be classified a “demonstration” or “non-commercial
expression protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution (such as
picketing, political marches, speechmaking, vigils, walks, etc.) conducted on public property;
the conduct of which has the effect, intent or propensity to draw a crowd...” [Section 3.1.3
Definitions]
That an event of this magnitude “may be held only pursuant to a permit issued by the
Events Coordinator...” [Section 3.2 Permit Requirements]
That applications for events on the Downtown Mall be submitted in writing at least 10
business days “in advance of any proposed demonstration...” [Section 13.2 Permit
Applications]
That a permit application fee be paid “by the sponsor of every proposed demonstration...”
[Section 3.4.3]
That “all City ordinances and State statutes limiting the use or obstruction of fire lanes,
emergency routs and pedestrian walkways must be observed. No person(s) participating in a
demonstration...shall block any entrances to or exits from City buildings...” [Section 3.5.3 No

bearing Dri ft Charlottesville Mayor Dodges Permit, Fees, Insurance f... https://bearingdrift.com/20 17/02/15/charlottesville-mayor-dodges-per...
Impediments to Public Access]

That prior to the commencement of the event, “Sponsors of demonstrations for which a
permit is required shall be required to indemnify and hold harmless the City...” and “shall
furnish a general liability and property damage insurance contract insuring the Sponsor’s
liability” in “an amount not less than $1,000,000 [Section 3.5.4 Indemnification and
Insurance]
That sound amplification is permitted only if “prior notice has been given to the Events
Coordinator...” [Section 3.5.7 Sound Amplification]
That “The Sponsor of every special event shall be required to pay (in advance) a fee for
cleanup costs [Section 3.5.13 Sanitation and Garbage]
That “Sponsors must pay an Electricity Fee to the City, in advance.” [Section 3.5.14
Electricity]
That “Sponsor will be billed per hour for each officer actually utilized...” based on
“circumstances of the event” and “based on the regular hourly rates of salaries for the police
personnel utilized.” [Appendix A]
In addition to numerous likely violations of City regulations and missed payment of
obligatory fees, Signer appears to have utilized City resources, including the email and paid
time of City Council Clerk, Paige Rice, in the coordination of his event. At 2:29 PM on
January 30, Rice emailed the following “Media Advisory,” listing herself as the contact person
for Signer’s event:

Mayor to convene faith, civic leaders for announcement Tuesday

and a growing number of Charlottesville residents for a special announcement and rally
outside City Hall. The purpose of the event is to send a clear signal to all those alarmed by

Bearing Drift Charloitesville Mayor Dodges Permit, Fees, Insurance f... https://bearingdrift.com/20 17/02/I 5/charlottesville-mayor-dodges-per...
the recent Executive Order of President Donald Trump.
Signer and numerous religious and civic leaders of Charlottesville hope to offer a bulwark
against fear, division, and uncertainty in the wake of the president’s action last Friday, and
in light of Trump’s call for “a ban on all Muslims entering the country,” during his election
campaign.
“Our strength lies in our values of diversity, tolerance, and shared humanity,” said Signer.
“Charlottesville, the historic home of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, must stand up
for these American values and be a Capital of the Resistance.”
WHEN: Tuesday, January 31st at 12:00 noon — 1:00 p.m.

WHERE: Charlottesville City Hall, 605 E. Main Street, Downtown Mall entrance
WHO: In addition to the mayor, speakers include:
Khizr Khan, Esq., Gold Star Families
Karim Ginena, Islamic Society of Central Virginia
Harriet Kuhr, International Rescue Committee
Pam Northam, Office of the Lieutenant Governor
Rabbi Tom Gutherz, Congregation Beth Israel
Pastor Alvin Edwards, Mt. Zion First African Baptist Church
Reverend Elaine Ellis Thomas, St. Paul’s Memorial Episcopal Church
Jeffrey W. Legro, Vice Provost for Global Affairs & Taylor Professor of Politics at the
University of Virginia
Charlottesville is home to a major office of the International Rescue Committee and to

hundreds of political refugees who have fled oppression in their home countries for the
safety and security of American democracy.
“I have met with dozens of political refugees, recent immigrants, and university students
who identify as Muslim or hail from the countries targeted by the executive order,” said
Signer.
“They have expressed confusion about the implications for their immigration status, concern
about whether they have simply escaped from one tyranny to another, and fear about
whether the United States remains, in the poet Emma Lazarus’ words, a place that embraces
‘your huddled masses yearning to breathe free’.”
At the event, Mayor Signer will announce* plans to:
1. Work with Virginia’s Congressional delegation to get specific help for Charlottesville’s
immigrant and refugee community regarding urgent visa and travel questions
2. Join Cities for Action’s coalition of mayors demanding progress on immigration issues

3. Ask Charlottesville’s City Manager to advise City Council on legal and policy options to
provide added protections for immigrants and political refugees
4. Ask Charlottesville’s Human Rights Commission to address issues of xenophobia and

religious intolerance

Council, not for City Council as a whole.

In a February 14 email to The Schilling Show, Signer pled ignorance and contradicted fact:

No City personnel were involved in the planning or execution of the press

conference. It was assembled and run by volunteers, many coming together at the last
minute. Even the podium and mic and speakers were brought by volunteers. The event was
intended as a standard press conference at the Free Speech Wall, which typically do not
require permits. That event grew quickly and spontaneously in part due to the publicity by
several of the speakers’ organizations, including the churches and the IRC.
I was frankly stunned by the huge, spontaneous turnout on such short notice, which
I think is evidence of how strongly folks feel about standing up for American values against
the combination of intolerance and incompetence seen in the recent executive order, which
has now been stayed by multiple federal courts on Constitutional grounds. [emphasis added]

A World-Class City
Mayor Signer’s statement was deceptive at best
No City personnel? The Charlottesville Police Department confirmed to The Schilling Show
that they had assigned “10 police officers and 2 Community Service Officers” to the event,
for about an hour and a half (approximately 18 man-hours); this, in addition to Signer’s use
of City Council Clerk , Paige Rice, as an official “contact” for the press conference.
As to the Mayor’s claim that he was “stunned by the huge, spontaneous turnout,” a
Facebook event page, set up by Signer himself, indicated tKat 487 people had confirmed
attendance in advance, and 951 people were “interested” in attending. Signer certainly had
information available indicating this would be a very large event. (See graphic below.)

hundreds of dollars in delineated fees and payments, and he may have inappropriately
utilized City staff to promote a non-City event.
But there may be a legal price ($250 171)—outside of the pro forma financial costs—for such
wanton disregard of rules and laws. According to Charlottesville Code:
Sec. 28-29. — Street parades, processions, and other events. [7]
(a) No parade or procession of any kind shall be held or conducted in any city
rights-of-way without first obtaining a permit from the city manager.
(b) The city manager is authorized to require permits for the use of city rights-of-way for
special events and community events (as defined within section 28-29(c) of the City Code),
and for other activities that may affect the safety or convenience of the general public. The
city manager is authorized to promulgate regulations to govern the time, place and manner
of such activities, and to establish reasonable fees, charges and rentals therefor. A violation
of any of the rules and regulations established hereunder shall constitute a Class 4
misdemeanor. [emphasis added]
Given these facts:
Will Charlottesville Mayor Michael Signer pay the costs (in arrear) that any average citizen or
organization would bear (in advance) for holding such an event?
Will Charlottesville Mayor Michael Signer issue an apology to his constituents for
violating their trust (and potentially, the law)?
Or will lawlessness [8], oligarchy [9], cronyism 110], demagoguery [111, chaos [12], inequity
[13], mobocracy [14],
and double-standards [15] continue to prevail in Michael Signer’s
Charlottesville—the self-declared “Capital of the Resistance.”

AND DAMAGES

VERIFIED COMPLAINT
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
1. The First Amendment guarantees political speech, including protest, the highest
level of protection—and the right to speak out is most robust in traditional public fora, including
public parks and streets. Since this country’s founding, people have taken to the parks, streets, and
sidewalks to make their voices heard on matters of public concern. This case is about viewpoint
discrimination by Defendants against Plaintiff. Plaintiffs views are highly controversial and have
evoked strong protests and demands heard by City Council that his permit be revoked.
2. Plaintiff seeks to exercise his protected right to protest in a public park by
organizing a rally in Emancipation Park (“the Park”) on August 12, 2017.

3. Plaintiff wishes to communicate a message that relates directly to the Park—
specifically, his opposition to the City’s decisions to rename the Park, which was previously
known as “Lee Park,” and its plans to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee from the Park.
4. On June 13, 2017, Defendants granted Plaintiff a permit to hold his rally in the Park
on August 12, 2017. In the following weeks. Defendants granted organizations that oppose
Plaintiffs message permits to counter-protest in other public parks just blocks away from the Park.
5. On August 7, 2017, less than a week before the long-planned and permitted event
in the Park, however, Defendants notified Plaintiff in a press conference and by letter (Exhibit B)
that they were revoking Plaintiffs permit and “modif{yingj” their permission to allow Plaintiff to
hold his rally in Mclntire Park only. Mclntire Park is not connected to Plaintiffs message, and is
located more than a mile from the Park.
6. In the August 7 letter, Defendants explained their decision by saying that “it [camel
Defendants further asserted that the City would be “unable to accommodate safely even a peaceful
crowd of this size” in the Park.
7. Defendants have permitted events with audiences numbering several thousand in
the Park in the past, and the events have proceeded without incident. The Charlottesville Police
Department has never before suggested that it would be unable to handle crowds downtown during
festivals held in Emancipation Park that have drawn many thousands of people.
8. While the government may impose narrowly-drawn time, place, and manner
restrictions on the exercise of the rights to speak, petition or assemble, including permit
requirements, the First Amendment prohibits the government from blocking a protest based on its
content or viewpoint, or based on how the government anticipates others will respond to the
2
protest. The revocation of Plaintiffs permit was based on his viewpoint and was not necessary to
achieve any compelling governmental interest.
9. Plaintiffs constitutional rights will be violated, and irreparable harm will result, if
the Court does not provide immediate relief enjoining Defendants from preventing or impeding
Plaintiffs constitutional rights to free speech, petition, and assembly.
PARTIES
10. Plaintiff Jason Kessler is an adult natural person who resides in the Commonwealth
of Virginia.
II. Defendant City of Charlottesville (“the City”) is a political sub-division of the
Commonwealth of Virginia.
12. Defendant Maurice Jones is an adult natural person who is the City Manager for
the City of Charlottesville in the Commonwealth of Virginia. At all times relevant, Defendant
Jones acted and continues to act under color of state law. Defendant Jones is sued in his official
and individual capacities.
JURISDICTION AND VENUE
13. This case arises under the United States Constitution and the laws of the United
States. The case presents a federal question within this Court’s jurisdiction under Article III of
the Constitution and 28 U.S.C. § 1331; this Court also has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1343(3)
to redress the deprivation, under color of state law, of any right, privilege, or immunity secured
by the Constitution of the United States.
14. The case seeks remedies under 28 U.S.C. § 2201 and 2202,42 U.S.C. § 1983
and 1988, and Fed. R. Civ. P. 65. This Court may issue a temporary restraining order and
preliminary injunction pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b).

3
15. Venue is proper in this district under 28 U.S.C. § 139 1(b) because a substantial
part of the events or omissions giving rise to Plaintiffs claims occurred in this District.
STATEMENT OF FACTS
From Lee Park to Emancipation Park
16. The City of CharlottesvilLe owns the park bounded by Jefferson Street, First Street
N.E., Market Street and Second Street N.E (“the Park”).
17. HistoricalLy, the Park was known as “Lee Park.” On June 5,2017, the City renamed
the Park “Emancipation Park.”
18. Emancipation Park houses a statue of Robert E. Lee. The City plans to sell the
statue and have it removed from the Park,
19. The City’s decision to rename the Park and sell the statue have resulted in a number
of protests in the Park, one involving a gubernatorial candidate and another an unpermitted
nighttime torchlit march on May 13, 2017 in which Plaintiff and others who plan to attend the
12h
August rally participated.
20. Plaintiff opposes both the name change and the planned removal of the statue. To
communicate his political message, Plaintiff sought to organize a “Unite the Right” rally in the
Park to express opposition to both decisions by the City.
21. Plaintiffs choice of location is critical to the message of the rally, which
specifically opposes two City policy choices about the Park. Holding the protest elsewhere would
dilute and alter Plaintiffs message.
Defendants Granted Plaintiffs Permit
4
22. Defendants require persons wishing to exercise their First Amendment rights on its
public land to obtain a permit from the City’s Events Coordinator. See City of Charlottesville
Standard Operating Procedure (“SOP”) § 3.2.
23. Wishing to exercise his right, Plaintiff duly submitted an application to the City of
Charlottesville on May 30, 2017. Plaintiff applied for a permit to hold a “[f]ree speech rally in
support of the Lee monument” in the Park on Saturday, August 12, 2017. (Exhibit A).
24. In the permit application, Plaintiff estimated that approximately four hundred
people would demonstrate at the planned rally. (Exhibit A).
25. Pursuant to City of Charlottesville SOP § 3.4.6(b), the City granted Plaintiffs
permit application on June 13, 2017.
Defendants Revoked Plaintiffs Permit
26. On August 7, 2017, more than a month after granting the permit and less than a
week before the planned rally—Defendant Maurice Jones sent Plaintiff a letter on behalf of the
City. (Exhibit B).
27. In the Letter, Defendants “denied” or “revoke[d]” the permit for the demonstration
in Emancipation Park. (Exhibit B)
28. Defendants also purported to “modiflyf Plaintiffs permit “to specify that the
demonstration take place at Mclntire Park,” rather than the Park. (Exhibit B)
29. Mclntire Park is not connected to Plaintiffs message, which centers on the City’s
policy decisions regarding Emancipation Park and the Lee statue in the Park.
30. In addition, Mclntire Park is located more than a mile away from Emancipation
Park.
5
3!. Relocating to Mclntire Park would substantially undermine Plaintiff’s ability to
communicate his message about the renaming of Emancipation Park and the decision to remove
the Lee statue from the Park.
32. Defendants say they revoked the permit for Emancipation Park because “it [came)
Defendants did not identify the source of this estimate. Based on the unsupported crowd estimate,
Defendants asserted that the City would be “unable to accommodate safely even a peaceful crowd
of this size” in Emancipation Park, and that “the presence of such a large demonstration in
Emancipation Park would . . . lead[ Ito massive traffic congestion[.j” (Exhibit B).
33. Defendants have acknowledged that “[t)he use of Mclntire Park will still require
the deployment of considerable law enforcement resources[.J
34. Moreover, the City Police Department is now preparing for the possibility that
people will gather at both parks during the rally. The City has announced that it plans to deploy
resources in the downtown area at and around Emancipation Park, negating any possible safety or
traffic congestion benefit from moving the rally to Mclntire Park.
35. In the August 7, 2017 letter, Defendants said that holding the rally in Emancipation
Park would “lead[ to massive traffic congestion” due to road closures. Moving the rally to
Mclntire Park has not alleviated this concern. Instead, the City’s preliminary plans for managing
the August 12 events include the possibility of road closures during the rally. (Exhibit B)
36. The City granted permits for demonstrations opposing Plaintiffs views to occur on
August 12, 2017 in Justice and McGuffey Parks locatedjust blocks away from Emancipation Park
in the same downtown area. Those demonstrations are said to be organized to protest “the messages
of racial intolerance and hatred advocated by” the persons attending the demonstration in the Park.
6
Upon information and belief, the organizers of these other events have encouraged and expect an
attendance of more than 1,000 persons.
37. Despite their allegation that the decision to revoke Plaintiffs permit was not based
on the views he wishes to express, but on the numbers of possible participants, Defendants have
taken no action to modify or revoke the permits issued for demonstrations by (hose with opposing
views.
38. The City’s concerns about holding the rally in the Park appear to stem, at least in
part, from fears of how counter-protesters will respond to the rally. In explaining its plans to
prepare for rallies at both Emancipation Park and Mclntire Park, the City explained that “[wjith
large crowds of individuals with strongly held and potentially opposing beliefs, there is also the
potential for conflict.” See City preparing for large crowds Saturday, Daily Progress (Aug. 9,
2017), available at \ L LI gres mine s/cH\ -lucp4II!1g I” Ligs
satLIaIa\/artiLlc 94U I Nc(ic-EH7 Ic 1)(}ILjLj ;,jc9i b.htnil (emphasis added). This builds on
the City’s experience during the Ku Klux Rally in downtown Charlottesville on July 8, 2017,
during which the Charlottesville Police Department asserted that counter-protesters were involved
in an “unlawful assembly” and used tear gas to disperse the counter-protests.
Defendants’ Reason for Revocation
39. The Defendants claim that the decision to revoke and modify Plaintiffs permit was
a “numbers” decision based on a belief that “many thousands” of people both supportive of
Plaintiff and opposed to Plaintiff would attend. No information about the basis for this belief was
given by Defendants although some have cited a Facebook event for the demonstration which
currently indicates that 700 plus people are “goingS’ and another 1,300 people are “interested.”
(Exhibit G). There is no estimate offered for the number of counter-protestors.
7
40. This Park has been for many years a traditional forum for the exercise of First
Amendment rights. Numerous other groups have protested and demonstrated and held other events
in the Park. Defendant has provided no information about the capacity of the Park, although the
August 7, 2017 letter says that the Park is just over one acre in size. This court may take judicial
notice of the facts that an acre is 4840 square yards, or 43,560 square feet and average adults (50-
50 male-female) take up a cross-sectional area of about 1.5 to 2.0 square feet at chest or hip level.
Taking those facts and applying basic math (dividing the number of square feet in an acre by the
area taken up by average adults) an estimate of the number of people that could be accommodated
standing on an acre of land would be between 29,040 and 21,780 people per acre.
41. The Charlottesville Police Department has the ability to deploy not only its own
officers to provide protection of PlaintifFs exercise of his First Amendment rights but also officers
from the Virginia State Police, other local law enforcement agencies, and, potentially, the Virginia
National Guard. This was demonstrated during the July 8,2017 Ku Klux Klan rally.
42. At the press conference held on August?, 2017 at which the Defendants announced
the decision to revoke PlaintifFs permit, the Charlottesville Police Chief never said that his
department could not provide adequate protection for Plaintiff’s proposed rally at Emancipation
Park using City’s active duty police force and, if necessary, additional local, state and federal
forces. The ChieFs statement included information about why his department felt that having the
demonstration in Mclntire Park would be “safer” but did not say that the Department would be
“unable” to protect the safety of demonstrators, counter-demonstrators and the public in the
downtown Emancipation Park location, especially if the City enacts the preliminary plans for road
closures announced on August 9, 2017.
8
43. The City can rely on other local, state and federal forces to adequately manage the
rally if necessary. On August 9, 2017, the City announced that its police department has been
working with other police agencies, including the Virginia State Police, to prepare for the rally and
that the local and state forces together intend to “have a visible presenc&’ at the rally. While
members of the National Guard have not yet been called upon, the City stated that the National
Guard Forces will monitor events and will respond if needed.
44. The City’s claim that it cannot safely manage a demonstration involving 400 people
and possibly “thousands” is belied by the fact that the City routinely manages crowds of up to
3,500 people at the Sprint Pavilion on the Downtown Mall and previously has granted permits for
rallies and events with “thousands” of attendees in Emancipation Park without incident or
intervention from the City. For example, in 2013, 2014 and 2015 an estimated minimum 2,000
people attended the Cville Pride Festival in Emancipation Park each year. Upon information and
belief, thousands of people attend an annual Spring block party in Emancipation Park. On May 14,
2016, it was reported that “thousands” of people gathered in Lee Park [sicj [or a Festival of
Cultures event. (Exhibit H).
45. People also have been allowed to demonstrate in the Park without permits in
circumstances where the number of potential participants could not be forecast. On May 14, 2017
after a torch lit demonstration the previous night protesting the renaming of Emancipation Park
and proposed removal of the Lee Statue, a candlelight vigil was held in the Park by counter
protestors without incident. Neither event was permitted. (Exhibit I).
46. The City has also allowed at least one event promoting a progressive point of view
supported by the Mayor to take place on public grounds in a downtown area smaller than
Emancipation Park without a permit. On January 31, 2017, there was a demonstration in front of
9
Charlottesville City Hall (not sponsored by the City) at which Mayor Michael Signer proclaimed
Charlottesville the “Capital [sic] of the Resistance” after the inauguration of Donald Trump. The
event drew as many as seven hundred attendees. No permit was obtained by the organizers in
advance nor was there any response by Defendants after the fact to sanction the organizers for
holding such a rally without the required City permit. Leading up to this event, a Facebook event
page listed 487 people as “going” and another 951 as being “interested.” (Exhibit H). Mayor Signor
remarked after the event that he was “stunned by the huge, spontaneous turnout on such short
notice which I think is evidence of how strongly folks feel about standing up for American values.’
47. The City has expressed a preference for the counter-protesters. On August 9,2017,
a spokeswoman for the City encouraged individuals to “consider attending [events on counter
programming to the rally].” The City has never encouraged individuals to consider attending
Plaintiff’s rally.
48. Members of the City Council who have the authority to hire and fire Defendant
Jones have made clear their opposition to Plaintiff’s political viewpoint. On June 21, 2017, Mayor
Michael Signer described the planned August 12ih

rally’s content and speakers as “racist and
bigoted.” (Exhibit C). Previously, after a candlelight vigil held as a counter protest to a “torch” lit
demonstration against the Park renaming decision the night before, Mayor Signer issued a public
statement saying that “intolerance is not welcome here” and the next day tweeted a picture of the
May 14, 2017 vigil with the caption, “Candlelight vigil against hatc in Cvillc. These arc the kind
of”torches” I like to see.” (Exhibit F and Exhibit E). On August 2,2017, Vice Mayor Wes Bellamy
responded to a tweet from the Twitter handle “Solidarity Cville,” which described the “Unite the
Right” rally as “fascism” and called for confronting the event, with “this is dope! #Resist.” (Exhibit
J)
10
49. At the Charlottesville City Council meeting on Monday, July 17, 2017, 13 of the
15 people who spoke during the public comment period either criticized the actions of the
Charlottesville Police Department and the Virginia State Police during and after the Ku Klux Klan
rally on July 8 or advocated that the permit granted to Plaintiff for the August 12u1
demonstration
be revoked or reissued for Mclntire Park because of their opposition to the Plaintiff’s message or
both. When the City Manager began to respond to the public comments about the police actions at
gth
the July event taken against counter-demonstrators during and after the Ku Klux Klan
representatives were demonstrating, the crowd became disruptive, yelling “liar,” and the Mayor
suspended the meeting rather than have police personnel remove those who were disrupting the
City Manager’s comments.
50. On July 27, 2017,43 downtown businesses wrote a letter to Council demanding
that the City treat the planned August l2 demonstration like a public event and impose additional
requirements on the organizer and that it consider moving the event because of the risk to public
safety and their businesses. One business owner who signed the letter said that “the organizer and
other would-be attendees” at the demonstration had “crossed the line from free speech to basically
a call to imminent lawless action.”
51. In an interview with CBS l9News on July 12” Plaintiff said that he “absolutely
intends to have a peaceful rally.” Plaintiff added that he expected 400 people from around the
country to attend and promised that his group would “avoid violence.” In the same news story,
critics of Plaintiff said that they would encourage their members to show up “in large numbers”
and argued that the police should not show up because they “put people in danger.”
52. Despite representations that the decision to revoke the Plaintiffs permit was made
by Defendant City Manager, there was a closed three-hour meeting of City Council on August 2,
11
2017 at which Defendant City Manager, the City Attorney and other staff including some
representatives of law enforcement were present. Council issued a statement that evening about
the subject of the meeting: “This evening, Charlottesville City Council met in closed session to
consult with legal counsel and staff regarding the best options to keep the community safe during
the August 12 Unite the Right Rally while preserving the 1st amendment rights of participants.”
53. The Plaintiff met with Defendant City Manager Maurice Jones, Park’s Business
Operations Supervisor Michelle Christian and Police Captain Wendy Lewis the morning of
Monday, August 7th. At the meeting, the Defendant City Manager asked the Plaintiff to accept the
City’s decision to modify his permit for Mclntire Park. Plaintiff asked the City Manager what the
occupancy limit for Emancipation Park would be and asked if the permit could be kept in place if
he agreed to keep the crowd size within that limit. The Defendant would or could not give Plaintiff
an occupancy limit number. Then, Plaintiff asked Defendant whether he could maintain the permit
if he agreed to have the attendance limited to 400. The Defendant City Manager did not respond
and proceeded to implement his decision to revoke and modify the permit as described in the
August 7 letter without providing an answer or seeking to resolve any legitimate public safety
concerns Defendants might have about hoLding the demonstration in Emancipation Park.
54. Later on August 7th, after the press conference where the City announced that the
permit for Emancipation Park was revoked, Plaintiff entered a closed door meeting with Captain
Lewis, Chief of Police Al Thomas and Incident Commander Captain Victor Mitchell. Plaintiff
asked if the police would still enforce previously agreed upon security arrangements for the Unite
the Right demonstration in the Park whether there was a permit for that site or not. The Chief of
Police indicated in the affirmative. Plaintiff asked the Chief if the police would still keep counter
demonstrators out of the park prior to the Unite the Right demonstration and he indicated in the
12
affirmative. Plaintiff also asked Chief Thomas if the police would still set up barricades around
the park and allow Unite the Right to control access into the park via two entrance points on the
Market Street side of the park as was previously agreed upon. He indicated in the affirmative.
55. The next day on Tuesday, August 8th Plaintiff met with Captain Lewis, Captain
Mitchell and one other police official. They told Plaintiff that Chief Thomas changed his mind and
that the Plaintiffs demonstration would receive none of the protections in Emancipation Park
promised the day before. The police representatives also told Plaintiff that the police would only
keep people out of Lee Park until 6am when it typically opens instead of allowing Unite the Right
to restrict access to their demonstrators as had previously been agreed. The police said that the
Park would be divided in half between demonstrators and counter-demonstrators. Plaintiff asked
how the police intended to tell one from the other or to preserve distinct areas for demonstrators
with opposing views. The police representatives told Plaintiff that there was no plan for them to
do that, so theoretically the counter-demonstrators would not only still have permits for the two
other parks in the area (McGuffey and Justice) but also be allowed to occupy all of Emancipation
Park without a permit being issued.
56. Before Leaving the meeting on August 8th. PLaintiff asked if Parks and
Recreation would allow use of the power or water in the park and they said no. Plaintiff asked
why all these changes had been made to security and the policy of Parks and Rec and if this was
due to political pressure. Capt. Lewis indicated affirmatively with her facial expression and body
language.
57. Thus, with his scheduled rally only two days away, Plaintiff does not have a permit
enabling him to demonstrate in Emancipation Park, and counter-demonstrators have two
downtown permits and the ability to occupy Emancipation Park without a permit.
13
58. Unless Defendants and their agents are enjoined, Plaintiff, other similarly-situated
protesters who share his views, and other members of the public will be irreparably harmed as they
will be prevented from peacefully gathering to express their views on pressing issues of public
concern at a time, place and in a manner reasonable for them to do so.
CLAIM FOR RELIEF

FIRST AND FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS
42 U.S.C. § 1983
59. The foregoing paragraphs of this Complaint are incorporated by reference as if each
is fully set forth herein.
60. Defendants’ revocation of the requested permit violated—and, unless enjoined by
this Court, will continue to violate—Plaintiff’s rights to freedom of speech, assembly, and petition
as guaranteed by the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.
61. The Defendants’ revocation of Plaintifrs permit was based on his viewpoint and
was not necessary to achieve any compelling government interest, in violation of the First and
Fourteenth Amendments;
62. To the extent that the revocation of the permit was based on crowd size, the
revocation was not narrowly tailored to a substantial government interest, and did not leave open
alternative means of communication.
REQUEST FOR RELIEF

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays that this Honorable Court:
A. Enter judgment declaring that Defendants’ revocation, denial andlor modification of
Plaintiffs requested permit to hold a demonstration in Emancipation Park on August 12,
2017 violates the First and Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution;
14
B. Enter a temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunction enjoining Defendants to
permit the demonstration to go on as planned in Emancipation Park on August 12, 2017
from 12pm to 5pm and to provide such security as may be necessary to protect the rights
of the demonstrators and the public.
C. Award Plaintiff his costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees in this action;
D. Grant Plaintiff such other and further relief, including damages for the violation of
Plaintifrs constitutional rights, as the Court may deem just and proper.
Respectfully submitted,

Dear Mr. Kessler:
I write on behalf of the City’s Department of Parks and Recreation in reference to your
May 30, 2017 application for a permit to conduct a demonstration in Emancipation Park on
August 12, 2017. While demonstrations are typically handled through that Department, the
unprecedented size and scope of your rally at its proposed Downtown location requires me, as
the City official charged with the general supervision and control of City property, to review
your request in light of its significant impact on the community.
Based on information provided to me by law enforcement officials, the City has

decided to approve your application for a permit to hold a demonstration on the day and at the
times requested, provided that you use Melntire Park, rather than Emancipation Park, for your
demonstration. To the extent that the permit is deemed granted due to inaction within tcn days of
receipt of the application, the City hereby modifies the permit, based on the above-referenced
information, to specify that the demonstration take place at Mclntire Park. If you are unwilling to
use the Mclntire Park location, the permit for Emancipation Park is hereby denied pursuant to
section 3.4.5 of the City’s Standard Operating Procedure (“SOP”) for Special Events and
Demonstrations or, if the Permit is deemed granted due to inaction within ten days of receipt of
the application, the City hereby revokes the permit pursuant to section 3.4.7 of the City SOP.
Your permit application states that the demonstration will consist of approximately 400
people. However, in recent days it has come to the City’s attention that many thousands of
individuals are likely to attend the demonstration. Because Emancipation Park is a relatively
confined space of just over one acre in a densely populated urban area with limited parking
space, it is unable to accommodate safely even a peaceful crowd of this size. The City’s law
enforcement, fire and emergency medical services personnel cannot adequately protect people
and property in and around Emancipation Park due to the number of anticipated attendees trying
to occupy such a small and confined space. The Police Department also anticipates that the
presence of such a large demonstration in Emancipation Park would require the closing of a
section of East Market Street, leading to massive traffic congestion and shutting down a principal
means of ingress and egress, for the duration of the 5 hour rally.

Mr. Kessler
Page Two
A large demonstration at Mclntire Park does not present the same problems. The use of
Mclntire Park will still require the deployment of considerable law enforcement resources, but
the size, layout and other features of the Park will better enable the City’s law enforcement and
other emergency personnel to protect the attendees and the public. In contrast, holding such a
large rally at Emancipation Park poses an unacceptable danger to public order and safety.
In our last conversation you were insistent that the rally take place at Emancipation Park.
We ask that you reconsider that position. The City reserves all rights should you decide not to
abide by the terms of your approved permit.
Sincerely,
Maurice Jones
City Manager

Statement on the Demonstration at Lee Park
This event involving torches at night in Lee

Park was either profoundly ignorant or was
designed to instill fear in our minority
populations in a way that hearkens back to the
days of the KKK. Either way, as mayor of this
City, I want everyone to know this: we reject
this intimidation. We are a Welcoming City, but
such intolerance is not welcome here.

Charlottesville Mayor Dodges Permit, Fees, Insu

for “Capital of the Resistance” Rally
Posted By Rob SchHIing On February 15, 2017 © 1:10 PM In Local Government I
Comments
A January 31 “Capital of the Resistance [1]” rally in downtown Charlottesville [2], convened
by Mayor Michael Signer [3], was held without a permit, according to City spokesperson,
Miriam Dickler—and apparently without the payment of legally codified costs and fees.
Media reports [4] estimated attendance anywhere from “several hundred” to seven hundred
people.
City “Standard Operating Procedures” policy #100-04, “Special Events Regulation [5]”
stipulates:
That the process is in place to “...ensure public convenience in the use of city streets and
outdoor areas, the preservation of public order and safety, and the defraying of
administrative expenses associated with certain types of uses.” [Section 1.0 Purpose]
That the City Manager (Maurice Jones [6]) is responsible for managing such events, and that
City departments (police, fire, public works, and Neighborhood Development Services)
review event applications. [Section 2.0 City Departments/Organizations Affected]
That Signer’s event would likely be classified a “demonstration” or “non-commercial
expression protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution (such as
picketing, political marches, speechmaking, vigils, walks, etc.) conducted on public property;
the conduct of which has the effect, intent or propensity to draw a crowd...” [Section 3.1.3
Definitions]
That an event of this magnitude “may be held only pursuant to a permit issued by the
Events Coordinator...” [Section 3.2 Permit Requirements]
That applications for events on the Downtown Mall be submitted in writing at least 10
business days “in advance of any proposed demonstration...” [Section 13.2 Permit
Applications]
That a permit application fee be paid “by the sponsor of every proposed demonstration...”
[Section 3.4.3]
That “all City ordinances and State statutes limiting the use or obstruction of fire lanes,
emergency routs and pedestrian walkways must be observed. No person(s) participating in a
demonstration...shall block any entrances to or exits from City buildings...” [Section 3.5.3 No
8/10/17, 12:56PM
bearing Dri ft Charlottesville Mayor Dodges Permit, Fees, Insurance f... https://bearingdrift.com/20 17/02/15/charlottesville-mayor-dodges-per...
Impediments to Public Access]

That prior to the commencement of the event, “Sponsors of demonstrations for which a
permit is required shall be required to indemnify and hold harmless the City...” and “shall
furnish a general liability and property damage insurance contract insuring the Sponsor’s
liability” in “an amount not less than $1,000,000 [Section 3.5.4 Indemnification and
Insurance]
That sound amplification is permitted only if “prior notice has been given to the Events
Coordinator...” [Section 3.5.7 Sound Amplification]
That “The Sponsor of every special event shall be required to pay (in advance) a fee for
cleanup costs [Section 3.5.13 Sanitation and Garbage]
That “Sponsors must pay an Electricity Fee to the City, in advance.” [Section 3.5.14
Electricity]
That “Sponsor will be billed per hour for each officer actually utilized...” based on
“circumstances of the event” and “based on the regular hourly rates of salaries for the police
personnel utilized.” [Appendix A]
In addition to numerous likely violations of City regulations and missed payment of
obligatory fees, Signer appears to have utilized City resources, including the email and paid
time of City Council Clerk, Paige Rice, in the coordination of his event. At 2:29 PM on
January 30, Rice emailed the following “Media Advisory,” listing herself as the contact person
for Signer’s event:

Signer calls on residents to defend American values, declares City a “Capital of the

Mayor to convene faith, civic leaders for announcement Tuesday
CHARLOTTESVILLE — On Tuesday, January 31, Mayor Mike Signer will convene area leaders
and a growing number of Charlottesville residents for a special announcement and rally
outside City Hall. The purpose of the event is to send a clear signal to all those alarmed by

Bearing Drift Charloitesville Mayor Dodges Permit, Fees, Insurance f... https://bearingdrift.com/20 17/02/I 5/charlottesville-mayor-dodges-per...
the recent Executive Order of President Donald Trump.
Signer and numerous religious and civic leaders of Charlottesville hope to offer a bulwark
against fear, division, and uncertainty in the wake of the president’s action last Friday, and
in light of Trump’s call for “a ban on all Muslims entering the country,” during his election
campaign.
“Our strength lies in our values of diversity, tolerance, and shared humanity,” said Signer.
“Charlottesville, the historic home of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, must stand up
for these American values and be a Capital of the Resistance.”
WHEN: Tuesday, January 31st at 12:00 noon — 1:00 p.m.

WHERE: Charlottesville City Hall, 605 E. Main Street, Downtown Mall entrance
WHO: In addition to the mayor, speakers include:
Khizr Khan, Esq., Gold Star Families
Karim Ginena, Islamic Society of Central Virginia
Harriet Kuhr, International Rescue Committee
Pam Northam, Office of the Lieutenant Governor
Rabbi Tom Gutherz, Congregation Beth Israel
Pastor Alvin Edwards, Mt. Zion First African Baptist Church
Reverend Elaine Ellis Thomas, St. Paul’s Memorial Episcopal Church
Jeffrey W. Legro, Vice Provost for Global Affairs & Taylor Professor of Politics at the
Charlottesville is home to a major office of the International Rescue Committee and to

hundreds of political refugees who have fled oppression in their home countries for the
safety and security of American democracy.
“I have met with dozens of political refugees, recent immigrants, and university students
who identify as Muslim or hail from the countries targeted by the executive order,” said
Signer.
“They have expressed confusion about the implications for their immigration status, concern
about whether they have simply escaped from one tyranny to another, and fear about
whether the United States remains, in the poet Emma Lazarus’ words, a place that embraces
‘your huddled masses yearning to breathe free’.”
At the event, Mayor Signer will announce* plans to:
1. Work with Virginia’s Congressional delegation to get specific help for Charlottesville’s
immigrant and refugee community regarding urgent visa and travel questions
2. Join Cities for Action’s coalition of mayors demanding progress on immigration issues

3. Ask Charlottesville’s City Manager to advise City Council on legal and policy options to
provide added protections for immigrants and political refugees
4. Ask Charlottesville’s Human Rights Commission to address issues of xenophobia and

religious intolerance
*Mayor Signer will be speaking in his individual capacity, as one elected member of City
Council, not for City Council as a whole.

In a February 14 email to The Schilling Show, Signer pled ignorance and contradicted fact:

No City personnel were involved in the planning or execution of the press

conference. It was assembled and run by volunteers, many coming together at the last
minute. Even the podium and mic and speakers were brought by volunteers. The event was
intended as a standard press conference at the Free Speech Wall, which typically do not
require permits. That event grew quickly and spontaneously in part due to the publicity by
several of the speakers’ organizations, including the churches and the IRC.
I was frankly stunned by the huge, spontaneous turnout on such short notice, which
I think is evidence of how strongly folks feel about standing up for American values against
the combination of intolerance and incompetence seen in the recent executive order, which
has now been stayed by multiple federal courts on Constitutional grounds. [emphasis added]

A World-Class City
Mayor Signer’s statement was deceptive at best
No City personnel? The Charlottesville Police Department confirmed to The Schilling Show
that they had assigned “10 police officers and 2 Community Service Officers” to the event,
for about an hour and a half (approximately 18 man-hours); this, in addition to Signer’s use
of City Council Clerk , Paige Rice, as an official “contact” for the press conference.
As to the Mayor’s claim that he was “stunned by the huge, spontaneous turnout,” a
Facebook event page, set up by Signer himself, indicated tKat 487 people had confirmed
attendance in advance, and 951 people were “interested” in attending. Signer certainly had
information available indicating this would be a very large event. (See graphic below.)

All tolled, Charlottesville Mayor Michael Signer may have bilked his own citizens out of
8/10/17. 12:56 PM
hundreds of dollars in delineated fees and payments, and he may have inappropriately
utilized City staff to promote a non-City event.
But there may be a legal price ($250 171)—outside of the pro forma financial costs—for such
wanton disregard of rules and laws. According to Charlottesville Code:
Sec. 28-29. — Street parades, processions, and other events. [7]
(a) No parade or procession of any kind shall be held or conducted in any city
rights-of-way without first obtaining a permit from the city manager.
(b) The city manager is authorized to require permits for the use of city rights-of-way for
special events and community events (as defined within section 28-29(c) of the City Code),
and for other activities that may affect the safety or convenience of the general public. The
city manager is authorized to promulgate regulations to govern the time, place and manner
of such activities, and to establish reasonable fees, charges and rentals therefor. A violation
of any of the rules and regulations established hereunder shall constitute a Class 4
misdemeanor. [emphasis added]
Given these facts:
Will Charlottesville Mayor Michael Signer pay the costs (in arrear) that any average citizen or
organization would bear (in advance) for holding such an event?
Will Charlottesville Mayor Michael Signer issue an apology to his constituents for
violating their trust (and potentially, the law)?
Or will lawlessness [8], oligarchy [9], cronyism 110], demagoguery [111, chaos [12], inequity
[13], mobocracy [14],
and double-standards [15] continue to prevail in Michael Signer’s
Charlottesville—the self-declared “Capital of the Resistance.”

Thank you for clarifying the role of the 12 ACPD Officers who will assist with calls for service in the City

with any activities related to the Alt Right Rally. Furthermore, I realize your officers will not respond to
Emancipation Park, Justice Park, and McGuffey Park to assist with calls for service.
I will reach out to the City Manager today to formalize the MOU; I can add the aforementioned language
in the memorandum if needed.
Thanks again for your assistance and commitment to our professional partnership.

Captain Mitchell,
As we are approaching the planned rallies, protests and counter-protests
scheduled for August 11-13, 2017, I wanted to take a moment in advance to make
sure that the Charlottesville Police Department (CPD) is provided documentation
reflecting the support that the Albemarle County Police Department (ACPD) is
offering to CPD during the aforementioned dates. I specifically would like to
clarify the role of the 12 uniformed ACPD police officers who will be responding
to Priority 1 and Priority 2 calls for service (CFS) in the City of Charlottesville.
Per the August 4, 2017 agreement between Chief Ron Lantz, ACPD, and Chief Al
Thomas, CPD, these 12 ACPD officers are responsible for answering CFS not
related to the protest/rally from 1100 hours to 1900 hours. This includes not
responding to CFS at McIntire, Justice, Emancipation, and McGuffey Parks, as
well as the area of the Downtown Mall and Pavilion. Our officers have been
instructed that they may need to be held over to continue to assist with CFS in the
City, if requested.
ACPD will have the ACPD SWAT Team and ACPD Mobile Field Force staged at
the County Office Building on McIntire Road (COB McIntire) in the event they
are needed to assist CPD, or respond to incidents in the County. COB McIntire
will be secured on the morning of the August 11, 2017 (potentially sooner) and
the parking lots will be made available to all first responders during the event
dates. COB McIntire has been identified by ACPD as a rally/deployment area in
the need that CPD requests more assets from ACPD. In addition, this area will be
used by Fire & Rescue personnel for staging, patient care and triage. The
Emergency Communications Center (ECC) and the University of Virginia Police
Department’s (UPD) Captain McGee have been briefed on the role of ACPD
during this event. ACPD Lieutenant Miller Stoddard will be sending you a copy
of the ACPD Operational Order in the near future. Thank you and please feel free
to contact me if you have any questions.

We would like to offer the IX property as a staging ground for the police, National Guard,
Emergency Service workers and whomever else from the City would need it. We have more
than enough parking, internet, and we'd be willing to open up the event space so they have access
to a cool space and bathrooms at no charge to the City. It would help us by discouraging unruly

Subject: An Important Message from President Teresa A. Sullivan Regarding August 12
To the University community:
On August 12, several groups are planning to participate in the “Unite the Right” rally in Emancipation Park in
downtown Charlottesville. Although the groups represent a variety of ideologies and agendas, many of them
express beliefs that directly contradict our community’s values of diversity, inclusion, and mutual respect.
UVA is public in the most profound and meaningful sense of that word; we are committed to the public good,
and we seek to recognize and represent the great diversity of the public in our Commonwealth and in the
country. We believe that diversity is an essential element of excellence, and that intolerance and exclusion
inhibit progress. We also support the First Amendment rights to free speech and assembly. These rights
belong to the “Unite the Right” activists who will express their beliefs, and to the many others who disagree
with them.
One may stand up for one’s beliefs without physical confrontation. I urge students and all UVA community
members to avoid the August 12 rally and avoid physical confrontation generally. There is a credible risk of
violence at this event, and your safety is my foremost concern.
Moreover, to approach the rally and confront the activists would only satisfy their craving for spectacle. They
believe that your counter-protest helps their cause. One advocate of the rally said, “We should aim to draw
the SJWs [social justice warriors] out in Charlottesville and create a massive polarizing spectacle in order to
draw as huge a contrast as possible. They will reveal themselves to be violent, intolerant, opposed to free
speech, the insane enforcers of political correctness, etc.” The organizers of the rally want confrontation; do
not gratify their desire.
I encourage you to participate in events on Saturday, August 12, that are open to the community and
planned by UVA. A group of faculty and staff will be prepared to facilitate discussions on topics such as
constitutional rights and citizenship; community dynamics and polarization; and local history. Several
University libraries will be open. Athletics has two free events scheduled on Saturday. The men’s soccer team
will host Wright State in Klockner Stadium at 1:00 p.m., and beginning at 4:00 p.m., Athletics will host its Fall
Sports Meet-the-Teams event followed by Scott Stadium Movie Night. Additional details about these and
other events scheduled for August 12 will be announced early next week. I encourage participation in these
UVA-sponsored events.
With the August 12 rally coming just a few weeks after the KKK rally in July and amid the continued divisive
rancor in our national discourse, we are reminded that the struggle for equality, inclusion, and civility
requires a prolonged and persistent effort. Let’s do our part to continue this important work.
Teresa A. Sullivan
President

This is a special request regarding Congregation Beth Israel. I just spoke with Rabbi Tom Gutherz
there. Their current plans are to have a single outside security guard on Friday night and during the day
on Saturday. They have services at 6:15 p.m. on Friday night and 9-11 a.m. on Saturday. They are
obviously right next to Emancipation Park.
The rhetoric on the online sites right now is quite intensely anti-Semitic. This post on Daily Stormer
about the rally ends reads, "Next stop: Charlottesville, VA. Final stop: Auschwitz." This post on Daily
Stormer reads, "the cops are siding with us over the evil Jew Mayor Michael Singer and his Negroid
Deputy Wes Bellamy. We have it on good authority that the Chief of police is going to ensure that the
protest goes through as planned, regardless of what the ruling kike/Negroid powers are attempting." I
listened to a podcast yesterday with two of the organizers and they referred negatively to Jews and to the
fact that a synagogue was "two blocks away" from the rally. They also talked about how on Friday night
roving bands of ralliers will be defying restaurants who deny them service. This could add an element of
unpredictability on Friday night as well.
Given all of these variables I feel it would be prudent for us to have a more overt police presence near
CBI. Rabbi Gutherz suggested a car stationed in front of the building, and an offer nearby, which is the
I would be grateful if I could connect someone from CPD to Rabbi Gutherz and CBI's Executive Director

the march occurred on the grounds of the University the law enforcement response was
coordinated by UVA police. We offered assistance yesterday evening and were told they had

Dear Sir,
Please do not allow the Aug 12th Lee Statue protest to be held in Emancipation Park. The potential for disruption to
traffic and businesses is unfair! The previous KKK rally held downtown had an extremely negative impact on
attendance at the Saturday Market hurting farmers. McIntire is a far more suitable and less volatile venue. Thank

Charlottesville Police Department needs to respond to the claims made in here by Jason Kessler ASAP.
"I had a meeting with the Chief of Police right after this announcement was made, and I told him, "Look, we're
going to have this rally, one way or the other. This is our Civil Right, and we're going to do that, can we still
expect the same level of police support? Can we still expect the barricades? Can we still expect that antifa are
not going to be occupying the park before we go to do our rally?" And he said, "Yes, that's the case." So, if we

going to keep out, keep the park for us, and keep the antifa out."

Maurice/Mike,
Thanks for your leadership during the difficult times we’ve had of late. I
appreciate all you’ve done to provide calm voices of reason in the midst of this
tumult.
I wanted to raise an idea about a possible response to yesterday’s events. I have

been reading the criticism of our police response coming from national figures. It
seems like criticism is also coming from people who were present and engaged on
both sides of the conflict yesterday. These comments are of course made without
any awareness of the broader context in which the events occurred. I can imagine
you and others are frustrated with the criticism and anxious to respond.
One way to do get in front of this criticism is to appoint someone to conduct an

independent evaluation of the the city’s response. The evaluation should be
thorough and objective and consider the perspectives of everyone involved. The
evaluation should involve interviews of stakeholders at all levels of government,
as well as participants in the protest and counter-protests. It should also gather
and review of video images of the day’s events. It could even extend to
consultation of experts on managing large, volatile protest situations. The final
product would be a report that includes both retrospective findings about what
occurred yesterday and prospective recommendations about best practices and
how to handle future events (which are, of course, likely to be organized here and
elsewhere). It could also extend to the July KKK rally and extend beyond the
police department, or be more tailored to the specific events of
yesterday. Regardless of scope, an independent inquiry would burnish public
confidence in city government and help everyone use these awful events as a
learning opportunity. It could also
If you’re interested in pursuing this kind of independent evaluation, I’d be

interested in taking it on. I was the US Attorney here in Charlottesville for over 5
years, and I could coordinate with ongoing investigations and not interfere. I
have worked with CPD and VSP and have immense respect for law
enforcement. That said, I would not approach this with any bias or preconceived
notions as to the propriety of any decisions or actions. I would be an objective
fact-finder, not an advocate. It’s imperative that whomever conducts this review
do so without any real or perceived bias or sympathy to law enforcement, the
protestors, or any other constituency. I would be scrupulously objective in
approaching this critically important task, and I promise that my findings would
reflect an honest assessment.
I’d be interested in discussing this idea with you both and anyone else who might
be involved in a decision to pursue an independent inquiry. Please let me know if
there’s a time we could meet to discuss. I’ll make myself available at your
convenience.
Thanks again for all you’ve done. Looking forward to seeing you soon,
Tim Heaphy

Hi Chris –
Charlottesville Police is the lead agency with support of the Virginia State Police and our other
local partners. Law enforcement personnel were staged in multiple locations around Emancipation and
McIntire Park and road closures for rapid response. Officers responded to a number of fights in and
around the park and the City. You can see video of some of this response on the Virginia State Police
Facebook page.
Hope that helps.

Corinne,
Did VSP and local police receive ‘stand down’ orders for the rally yesterday? I’ve heard many anectdotes
alleging that or that police had orders to not intervene in any of the street fighting unless they were
ordered to do so … by someone. Not sure who that would be. (CPD Capt. Victor Mitchell? Chief Al
Thomas? A VSP commander?)
Who was in charge of the scene in Emancipation Park, the general downtown area? And were there
specific orders to LEO assigned to the area about what should be done in case of fighting in the streets?

At 11:55 a.m., Governor Terry McAuliffe declared a state of emergency in Charlottesville “to aid in the
response to violence” at the rally.
As of 12:30 p.m., a single arrest has been reported. Emergency Medical Personnel have responded to
eight injuries related to the event.
Law enforcement will continue to monitor the situation and respond as appropriate.

Subject: Re: More ADA violations_thanks Zach and meet after August 12
Good morning Mike M.,
First of all I want to acknowledge Zach's diligent efforts to address the problems facing Ms.
pool, a sight impaired pedestrian. As Zach's email points out, our police officers recognize that a
sidewalk obstruction, could pose an emergency risk. It is not just a law enforcement problem in
other words. For that reason I have copied chief Baxter.
As Zach has also identified, many people with disabilities are pedestrians and therefore it is
incumbent upon the city to enable walking as a legitimate, safe, and consistent mode of
transportation. That brings up the question of sidewalks, crosswalks and crossing distances and
the overall layout of streets and intersections within the public right of way. That involves Alex
ikefuna, the NDS director, Brennen Duncan, our engineer and Paul oberdorfer director of public
works. Again, this isn't just an enforcement issue.
In short, these persistent public complaints about road infrastructure beginning last May (most
especially west main since it has two (2) major construction projects west of the Drewary Brown
bridge underway at the same time, with two (2) more coming on line east of the bridge) cry out
for a new systematic and proactive approach in my view. The need for such an approach will
only grow exponentially as the demand for bike-pedestrian safety increases daily and multiple
construction projects come on line at the same time across town, be it west main, water or
Preston.
To that end, sometime after August 12, but before September 18, I would like to meet with you,
Mr. Ikefuna, Mr. Duncan, Chief Baxter, Chief Thomas and Mr. Oberdorfer to get an update on
west Main Street and other corridors in terms of 1.) their adaptability to new multi-modal
demands and 2.) readiness for more construction projects without compromising bike-pedestrian
safety. Since, a "streets that work" implementation update is on the city council meeting
calendar for September 18, a discussion about a concerted, cross-departmental plan for both
implementing bike-pedestrian improvements and coping with construction projects seems timely.
I have copied Paige to help schedule this. Many thanks.
Best,
Kathy

Good afternoon, Ms. Pool:
Today I met with an officer from the Police Department to discuss the situation
with vehicles parking on the sidewalk, and I want to let you know where we
stand.
The Police Department is fully aware that this issue exists. However, given the
size of the force, it's unrealistic to believe they will see every illegally parked
vehicle immediately. Therefore, the police rely on residents like yourself to report
issues when they see them first. The best way to do this is to call the number that I
shared with you last week (434-977-9041). This is the City's non-emergency
phone line and is ideal for reporting problems like this to be resolved ASAP.
Nonetheless, if a vehicle is parked illegally and creating an obstruction, you
should call 911. The officers recognize that a sidewalk obstruction preventing a
person from getting to a doctor appointment etc. is a legitimate concern and will
treat these issues as emergencies. That said, they must use discretion when
determining the highest priorities (i.e. active violent crime as compared to illegal
parking). As soon as a complaint is filed through one of these phone numbers, it is
documented (leaving a paper trail) and an officer is dispatched right away. From
there they will ticket and/or tow as necessary to get the issue resolved.
I say all this mainly to provide insight into the process. After meeting with the
officer, I can assure you they take every complaint seriously and will get to them
as soon as possible. This doesn't always mean the situation will be corrected
immediately, but it does mean they are actively moving to provide a solution.
Finally, I want to reiterate how seriously I take this issue as well. Many people
with disabilities travel primarily as pedestrians and it's important we enable this as
a legitimate, safe, and consistent mode of transportation. Thanks for your help.
Have a great afternoon.
Sincerely,
Zack Lofton

Mr. Lofton:
After I emailed you, my husband flagged down a police officer and asked him to
take care of the situation. The officer said he would.
This afternoon at almost 6pm, the truck was still there and it did not have a ticket.
As my husband walked by he was able to flag down another officer.
This time, the officer talked to the owner of the truck.
So this makes at least two civil rights violations by the police today.

Al S. Thomas
Chief of Police
(434) 970-3289

To: Thomas, Al
Subject: RE: Preparation for Alt Right Rally
Chief,
I have outlined the challenges we have faced since preparations for this event began below:
I started lining up areas for us to use starting the week of July 9th. Within a short amount of time we had
secured a number of locations for our purposes to include:
 The Jefferson Madison Regional Library

 VMDO Architects
 Hill and Wood Funeral Home
 Christ Episcopal Church
 Wells Fargo
 City Space
Assistance was also secured from local agencies in addition to the Virginia State Police. The plan was to
house 3 VSP Mobile Field Forces immediately around the park in order to provide immediate response if
necessary. We had placed a mobile field force in Hill and Wood, Christ Episcopal Church and the library.
On July 25th I received a message from John Halliday, the director at the library. He stated that the board
for the library had met on the day before and had voted to rescind the offer for us to utilize the building
for personnel. We were able to relocate the VSP mobile field force from that location to City Space. This
move created a number of problems to include:
 Increased response time from the MFF

 Lack of adequate facilities for relief for officers
 A safe location for officers should they be fired upon
On today’s date clergy from the Episcopal Church arrived at my office. We were informed that the board
from the church had met and by unanimous decision revoked our permission to utilize the church and
it’s properties. This, in conjunction with losing the library is catastrophic to our planning process and
greatly increases our risk for both property damage and injury to both public safety personnel and
civilians.
The most recent loss of Christ Episcopal Church forces us to relocate the second MFF to the Omni Hotel.
This cuts our immediate MFF response down to one platoon of 56 officers. Although there will be many
other officers on the ground they will not be adequately equipped to handle a large crowd should large
scale violence erupt. We had plans in place that would allow officers to re-group in the public safety
zone once the MFF(s) were deployed so they could don their protective equipment. If one MFF proves
to be inadequate we will have an extended period of time before another force can get into place to
allow us to accomplish this goal.
In addition to these losses we also have experienced reduction in personnel from both ACPD and UVA.
Both agencies are assisting us with calls for service throughout the day but will have no involvement
with the actual event. We originally had 15-20 officers from UVA to assist with the event itself. This offer
has since been rescinded. A request was made for their command vehicle to use at the event site which
was denied.
There has also been discussions of moving this event to McIntire Park. This move would put a further
strain on the resources we have dedicated to the protection of both property and persons. This action is
not recommended for the following reason:
 Attempting to relocate this event in the final stages of planning coupled with the limited
amount of resources will present a logistical challenge
 Dividing our personnel and resources for two separate operations will pose a tremendous
public safety challenge.
 CPD will have no additional command staff to allocate to two operations
 Revoking the permit for Emancipation Park will not eliminate the need for the same if not more
preparation and resources. On the contrary, it will require much more resources than currently
available to us.
The only advantage to moving the event to McIntire Park would be the potential for a decrease in
property damage. That of course is assuming the event in its entirety would move to that location. We,
of course, know this will not happen. Had this been decided upon in the earlier stages the benefits
would outweigh the cost. At this point it is simply not feasible or recommended.

STATEMENT OF “UNITE THE RIGHT” RALLY ORGANIZER
Charlottesville, Virginia – Jason Kessler, the organizer of the “Unite the Right”
rally, has disavowed the political violence that resulted in the death of at least one
person and the injuries of many others.
“The blame for today’s violence is primarily the result of the Charlottesville
government officials and the law enforcement officers which failed to maintain
law and order by protecting the First Amendment rights of the participants of the
‘Unite the Right’ rally,” Kessler said. “We networked with law enforcement
officials and safety arrangements were made months ago, but despite this, the
Charlottesville Police Department not only failed to act per the plan but
exacerbated the violence: they did not separate the demonstrators and counter-
demonstrators, they were poorly underequipped for the situation, they stood idly
by when violent counter-protesters attacked the participants of the rally and then
they forced our demonstrators out of Lee Park and into a melee with Antifa.”
Photographs have circulated via the Internet of counter-protesters carrying bows

and arrows, knives, hammers, baseball bats, and even an improvised flamethrower
made with an aerosol can. Participants of the “Unite the Right” rally were
victimized by pepper spray used by counter-protesters.
Despite the safety plan that was in place, the Charlottesville government backed
out of it at the last minute, and a federal lawsuit was filed the day before the rally
and an emergency temporary restraining order was procured to require the
Charlottesville government to permit the rally to occur at Emancipation Park
(formerly known as Lee Park).
“Charlottesville violated the federal court’s order by shutting down the rally at
Lee Park after left-wing agitators began throwing bricks at us,” Kessler
said. “Our right to free speech was violated when the police officers acquiesced
to the unconstitutional ‘heckler’s veto’ raised by our detractors.”
“Due to the police not maintaining order, many people were hurt,” Kessler
added. “The media is not showing who instigated the violence.”
Mr Kessler will be holding a press conference today on the downtown mall at

2pm behind Charlottesville City Hall along with Richard Spencer and other
speakers and attendees of the planned rally.

Jason Kessler, President

Dear Mr. Jones and Councilors,

I am extremely disappointed in the City’s no parking plans for this coming weekend. Friendship Court,
Sixth Street, and Crescent Halls will be completely exposed to violent, armed racists parking in their
neighborhoods. The potential for random interactions and violence is quite high. PHAR has done our
part by advising residents on staying safe, we sincerely wish you would do your part as well.
In addition, we have heard increased concerns that Prospect Ave and Greenstone on 5th may be
specifically targeted by alt-right on Friday or Saturday night.

Dear councilors,
As you contemplate strategies for the upcoming crisis I hope you will consider what efforts can be taken
to protect public housing neighborhoods and Friendship Court from the influx of hostile participants in
the UTR rally.
Please consider parking strategies that will decrease the likelihood of alt-right/resident contact during
the weekend. I suggest disallowing on street parking on Garret St, 2nd St SE, Monticello Ave, Sixth St,
South First Street.
Additionally, efforts to direct foot and vehicle traffic around that area towards downtown should be in
place so that violent extremists are not parking on Avon and walking through the area to reach
downtown.

Law Enforcement
Chief Thomas, his command staff and the leadership from the Virginia State Police (VSP) are
finalizing the details of their operational plan for McIntire Park, Emancipation Park, Downtown
and the neighborhoods adjacent to the parks.
We anticipate 400+ law enforcement officers in the City on Saturday. While most of our officers
and the state police will be focused on the protest sites, officers from the University of Virginia
and Albemarle County will be providing coverage in other parts of the City.
Our officers and VSP troopers have also been involved with additional de-escalation training
during the past couple of weeks.
Emergency personnel from the Fire Department, EMS and the Virginia Department of
Emergency Management have also been involved with the planning for the event. Our local
EOC held a meeting yesterday to discuss emergency planning for Saturday.
Street Closures
As mentioned before the City is still preparing for a possible demonstration in Downtown.
Therefore streets will be closed around the park. We have sent out information on some of the
street closures while others may wait until there is a legal decision on the permit.
Legal
Craig and his team have been working around the clock to prepare for the legal challenge of the
decision to move the event to McIntire Park. We anticipate receiving the filing either tonight or
tomorrow. We will let you know when we have received the document.
Media Relations
Miriam has been working for several weeks with our partners to establish a joint information
center (JIC) to be staffed by her, Corinne Geller of the Virginia State Police, two of her staff,
with assistance from the ACPD PIO and the County communications team. We will be offering
a couple briefings to the press in the next few days leading up to the event. We will be using this
web site - www.communityemergency.org – to provide live, real time updates on activities on
Saturday.
We are working with a national media relations firm to provide assistance with national news
media and messaging for this weekend and early next week.
Community Relations
We have sent out a series of emails today to neighborhood associations that are most affected by
the event, providing links to additional information. We have also sent that information to the
housing authority and PHA to pass along to their residents.
Chief Thomas and I spoke to a group of folks from the DBAC this morning about what to expect
in the coming days. Mike Murphy and Jason Ness from Economic Development were also in
attendance. The discussion was well received.
Staff has had conversations this week with organizers of the Unite the Right rally, the McGuffey
and Justice Parks events, the Clergy Collective and the organizers of the Downtown march
which is scheduled for Saturday morning.
I had a phone call this week with Charles Phillips from the Justice Department’s Community
Relations Division. He will be in town for the event and is prepared to work with us in the days

Dear Chief Thomas-
I saw a posting on Facebook that led me to this YouTube video, posted by Richard Spencer, where he talks about the

You are probably already aware of it but sending it just in case. He adamantly states that they WILL be marching in
Emancipation Park, regardless of what the city wants and they have no plans to move to McIntire Park. He sounds
like he doesn't care if things get ugly which is quite worrisome for the safety of our town and visitors.

 What the world saw yesterday in our city is not Charlottesville. The hatemongers who traveled
from other places around the country do not represent us. They represent a worldview that,
despite their declarations, is on the brink of extinction. Although we support free speech and
assembly our community will to voice its opposition to the hate and violence that invaded our
City yesterday.
 We mourn the loss of life in our community and pass along our condolences to the families of -
Heather Heyer, a resident of Charlottesville, who was standing up to hate when she was mowed
down in a vicious and despicable terrorist attack. Lt. H. Jay Cullen and Trooper Berke Bates, who
perished in the crash of a Virginia State Helicopter. Our hearts are saddened by their deaths.
 Charlottesville is a wonderful and resilient City. We have had a great deal of tragedy in recent
years especially for a community of our size, but yet we continue to grow and prosper. Our City
will rebound from this terrible day in our history. I know we will be stronger because we will
come together. We will continue to send a strong message against the hate we experienced
yesterday and we will celebrate our diversity.
There have been a number of questions criticizing the police for moving too slowly in responding to the
fights that broke out. Here are a few points to consider. The first one is quote Chief Thomas gave to the
New York Times on Saturday night.
“Law Enforcement did respond to and break up various fights in and around Emancipation Park prior to
the unlawful assembly declaration. Once the unlawful assembly was declared, we gave people sufficient
opportunity to disperse. When circumstances warranted, our officers moved back into the park to
address those who had not complied. Law Enforcement and National Guard personnel were staged
throughout the City for the remainder of the day for comprehensive response, answering approximately
250 calls for service as well as addressing issues they observed or were asked to assist with by the
public.” – Charlottesville Chief of Police Al Thomas
Stand Down Order

There was no order to “stand down” issued at any time by any authority or at any level yesterday.
The Charlottesville Police Department was the lead agency with support of the Virginia State Police and
our other local partners. Officers responded to numerous physical altercations in and around the
Emancipation Park and the City. Video of some of the responses can be found on the Virginia State
Police Facebook page.
Unlawful Assembly
Once the unlawful assembly was declared we had a number of groups that were abiding by the
commands and leaving the area. The police wanted to give them time to disperse without risking arrest
Obviously we are all grieving for the loss of life in our community yesterday. It was a tragic day for
Charlottesville. Considering the sheer size of the crowd we had in Downtown, combined with the
number of weapons in and around Emancipation Park and the tension between many of the protestors I
believe our police department, along with the Virginia State Police, managed a highly volatile situation
with great professionalism and skill. They balanced the rights of everyone involved with the general
public safety of our community under trying circumstances.
In the days and weeks ahead the City will thoroughly review our response from this weekend in an effort
to identify what we did well and areas where we can improve.

I hope you enjoyed your weekend and trust your well.
On Friday we heard word from the City's civil engineer that he believes we have broken a site code stipulation on
area disturbance that could potentially push our opening date back 6 months to a year (time frame estimated by my
team) by requiring the US Army Corp of Engineers to approve our water management plan. We specifically
engineered our construction plan to keep within the disturbance limits so this is surprising news to me.
As you will likely presume, we have already hired most of our team and are incurring the expenses to run our
operation already. Any delay in our opening will certainly put our business at risk as we have taken down bank debt
to fund part of our operation and we will certainly break covenants that will put the business in technical default
should we significantly miss plan. To put things to scale for you, our current hiring plan calls for close to 120 part
time workers to manage front and back of house operations and over half of these are already filled - many who
have given notice to current employers and would be left with out income should our opening be significantly
delayed.
Chris Engel and Jason Ness are helping us navigate the waters to identify ways to keep our opening date of the 19th
and receive inspection certs as scheduled. However, if they cannot reach a reasonable solution for us in the next 24
hours then I wanted to see if we could steal 10-15 minutes of your time to discuss our options.
Any advice or help you can offer is greatly appreciated.

withdraw its letter to Jason Kessler of August 7, 2017, revoking and otherwise rescinding the permit for
that demonstration and provide assurances that the City will allow the “Unite the Right” demonstration

Dear City Councilors and Mr. Jones,
The City of Charlottesville’s belated demand that the “Unite the Right” demonstration scheduled
for August 12 move from its planned and approved location in Emancipation Park raises serious
First Amendment concerns.
1. Opposition can be no basis for government action that would suppress the First Amendment
rights of demonstrators, no matter how distasteful those views may be
Both the timing and justification for the demand that organizers accept a move to McIntire Park
show a callous disrespect for the rights of free speech and assembly, forcing an 11th-hour relocation
of the rally from the place chosen specifically because of its importance to the message of the rally
organizers. While the message of the “Unite the Right” rally may raise strong feelings of
opposition among area residents and political leaders, that opposition can be no basis for
government action that would suppress the First Amendment rights of demonstrators who have
acted according to the law.
2. Last-minute relocation undermines ability of demonstrators to effectively communicate their

message
The last-minute relocation by the City appears to be an attempt to undermine the ability of
demonstrators to effectively communicate their message. Although event organizers submitted
their application for the rally in Emancipation Park two months ago, the City is only now asserting
that the event cannot be safely conducted in the park, a place chosen specifically by event
organizers because of the symbolic significance of the Lee statute. This belated action by the City
seriously undermines the ability of organizers to protect their legal rights to enforce their permit
Mike Signer, Mayor, et al.

to rally in the park, a permit that was plainly approved under section 3.4.6 of the City’s Special
Events Regulations. 1
3. City must provide factual evidence to support its attendance estimate and justify revoking the
permit to demonstrate in Emancipation Park
It is also questionable whether the City’s demand, which is effectively a revocation of the permit
to demonstrate in Emancipation Park, is justified by any provision of the Special Events Regulation.
Revocation could only be justified under section 3.4.7 of the regulation on the basis that the event
“presents a danger to public safety” or “cannot reasonably be accommodated in the particular area
applied for[.]” 2 While the City relies upon a forecast that “many thousands” will attend the event,
it has not disclosed the sources of the information it is relying on for that estimate and whether
such sources have any factual basis. When First Amendment rights are at stake, the City should
be transparent about the evidence and information underlying its action so that citizens can be sure
that fears of overcrowding are not simply a pretext for censorship and meet the requirement for
proof that a compelling government interest underlies its decision. 3 Moreover, demonstration
organizers should be allowed to know the basis for the City’s crowd projections so that they can
defend the rights granted by the permit by challenging and rebutting the City’s unilateral
conclusion that the event poses a danger to public safety.
The City’s justification for revocation appears more specious in light of the City’s approval of
permits for opposing demonstrations on August 12 in Justice and McGuffey Parks which will
reportedly expect attendance of greater than 1000 persons. Furthermore, “Unite the Right”
organizers reportedly offered to allow City officials to limit access to Emancipation Park during
their event to prevent overcrowding. Thus, fears of overcrowding that would lead to public safety
concerns appear to be a pretext for silencing the “Unite the Right” demonstration.
4. If the City is justifying its relocation of the rally elsewhere based on the presence of
counterdemonstrators, that constitutes an unconstitutional “hecklers’ veto”
To the extent the City is relying on the presence of counterdemonstrators for its revocation of the
Emancipation Park permit, it is violating the fundamental principle that the rights of speech and
assembly may not be restricted because demonstrators may be met by opposition. There is no
place for a “hecklers’ veto” under the First Amendment. 4 Any decision that the demonstration
under the permit poses a threat to public safety should be based solely on the plans and actions of
the “Unite the Right” organizers, not of those who plan to be present in opposition. Otherwise,

manufacturing threats to public safety.
5. The City must act in accordance with the law, no matter how distasteful that may be to members
of the community
The City must act in accordance with the law, even if doing so is distasteful to members of the
community who disagree with the views espoused by the “Unite the Right” organizers. At the
very least, the City must explain in more than just generalities its reasons for concluding that the
demonstration cannot safely be held in Emancipation Park. It must allow the organizers the
opportunity to dispel fears or concerns about the rally. Otherwise, it appears that the City’s
revocation of the permit is based only upon public opposition to the message of the demonstration,
which would constitute a violation of the organizers’ fundamental First Amendment rights.

Hi Erin,
I am away getting married so will not be reachable pretty soon, so I wanted to let you know our
plans.
We announced our pre-emptive closing all day Saturday last Friday and immediately drew the ire
of the Nazis. They are planning to target Brazos tomorrow.
Because of that we plan to close on Friday after lunch now.

We will not announce it until it happens to protect it as a security measure.
I have notified the CPD that we are targets and they said they'd give Brazos and IX some extra
attention Friday evening.
Below is some background on what's happening to us.
Best,

A Local Action;
A National Moment
This Saturday, members of the so-called “Alt Right” will descend on

Charlottesville to bring attention to their vision of white nationalism,
racism, anti-Semitism, xenophobia, and supposed cultural superiority.
Though there has been inflammatory rhetoric on social media, few
know exactly how many will actually appear or how they plan to
behave. But one thing is clear—the nation will be watching us,
and our responsibility to speak truth and love to their
messages of hate and division is stronger than ever before.
That means so many things. It means nonviolence if confronted with
violence or efforts to incite violence. It means respect for police who
are just trying to do their jobs and protect citizens exercising their
rights. It means unity in the face of division. It means confronting, in
a pastoral way, those whose views differ from ours and who would
impose their values and worldview on us. And it means joining and
supporting our friends and neighbors in a disciplined, respectful,
nonviolent response.
Controlling the Narrative

These far-right groups would like nothing more than for us to show
disunity, disrespect, and violence; it feeds their narrative that the
United States has lost its way, that they are the victims, and we need
to return to old and outmoded ways of doing things. Our power lies
in our ability to control our own actions as we engage in large
numbers. For those who plan to attend the rally, it is important to
obtain training on how to conduct ourselves. This is serious business,
and we should prepare so that we will be ready, just like the
nonviolent warriors of decades past, to control the situation and the
narrative for the benefit not just of the city we love, but the principles
we embrace—love, diversity, respect.
I urge citizens to engage in the events leading up to August 12

(see list below), and to make a commitment to expand your
involvement after that day. For those who are uncomfortable
participating in rallies on the 12th, remember that you can canvass
for the fall election, and make a powerful statement in that way as
well. Whatever the form of your engagement on August 12th and
beyond, we have a chance to show the nation and world what we are
all about in this great city of Charlottesville.

Craig,
We got a hold of this ACLU lawsuit at the end of business today .. I’m working late. I
figured I’d at least try to reach out to see if you could provide a statement.
There are claims in the lawsuit that the city went back and forth with Kessler on
whether it would provide security at Emancipation Park. Not sure whether you, Maurice
or Chief Thomas could refute or attest to that.

Chief Thomas,
In response to your e-mail, please include the following language from my initial
correspondence in the MOU:
 ACPD will provide 12 uniformed patrol officers who will be responsible

for responding to Priority 1 and Priority 2 calls for service (CFS) in the
City of Charlottesville.
 The 12 uniformed ACPD officers are responsible for answering CFS not
related to the protest/rally from 1100 hours to 1900 hours.
 These 12 uniformed ACPD officers may be required to respond to CFS

past 1900 hours, at the request of CPD.
 The 12 uniformed ACPD officers will not respond to CFS at McIntire,

Justice, Emancipation, and McGuffey Parks, as well as the area of the
Downtown Mall and Pavilion.
 ACPD will have the ACPD SWAT Team and ACPD Mobile Field Force
staged at the County Office Building on McIntire Road (COB McIntire)
in the event they are needed to assist CPD with the planned rallies,
protests and counter-protests. These assets will deploy at the request of
CPD.
 COB McIntire will be secured by ACPD personnel during the event, and
the parking lots at this location will be made available to all first
responders during the event dates.
Thank you and we appreciate our continued professional partnership through

these challenging times.

Lieutenant Reeves,
Thank you for clarifying the role of the 12 ACPD Officers who will assist with calls for
service in the City on August 12th from 1100-1900hrs. You have made it very clear that
ACPD Officers will not assist CPD with any activities related to the Alt Right
Rally. Furthermore, I realize your officers will not respond to Emancipation Park, Justice
Park, and McGuffey Park to assist with calls for service.
I will reach out to the City Manager today to formalize the MOU; I can add the
aforementioned language in the memorandum if needed.
All the best,
Al S. Thomas
Chief of Police

To: Thomas, Al

Captain Mitchell,
As we are approaching the planned rallies, protests and counter-
protests scheduled for August 11-13, 2017, I wanted to take a
moment in advance to make sure that the Charlottesville Police
Department (CPD) is provided documentation reflecting the
support that the Albemarle County Police Department (ACPD) is
offering to CPD during the aforementioned dates. I specifically
would like to clarify the role of the 12 uniformed ACPD police
officers who will be responding to Priority 1 and Priority 2 calls
for service (CFS) in the City of Charlottesville. Per the August 4,
2017 agreement between Chief Ron Lantz, ACPD, and Chief Al
Thomas, CPD, these 12 ACPD officers are responsible for
answering CFS not related to the protest/rally from 1100 hours to
1900 hours. This includes not responding to CFS at McIntire,
Justice, Emancipation, and McGuffey Parks, as well as the area of
the Downtown Mall and Pavilion. Our officers have been
instructed that they may need to be held over to continue to assist
with CFS in the City, if requested.
ACPD will have the ACPD SWAT Team and ACPD Mobile Field
Force staged at the County Office Building on McIntire Road
(COB McIntire) in the event they are needed to assist CPD, or
respond to incidents in the County. COB McIntire will be secured
on the morning of the August 11, 2017 (potentially sooner) and the
parking lots will be made available to all first responders during
the event dates. COB McIntire has been identified by ACPD as a
rally/deployment area in the need that CPD requests more assets
from ACPD. In addition, this area will be used by Fire & Rescue
personnel for staging, patient care and triage. The Emergency
Communications Center (ECC) and the University of Virginia
Police Department’s (UPD) Captain McGee have been briefed on
the role of ACPD during this event. ACPD Lieutenant Miller
Stoddard will be sending you a copy of the ACPD Operational
Order in the near future. Thank you and please feel free to contact
me if you have any questions.

ALASKA POLICYHOLDER NOTICE

3 AAC 25.050
This policy is issued by a nonadmitted or surplus lines insurer. Insurance may only be purchased from nonadmitted
insurers if the full amount, kind, or class of insurance cannot be obtained from insurers who are admitted to do business
in the State of Alaska. Your broker or the surplus lines broker has determined that this was true on the date the policy
was placed. Before issuing a renewal policy or extending this policy, remarketing is required. To avoid intentional or
unintentional extension of coverage in the surplus lines market when an admitted market for that coverage exists, a
nonadmitted insurer is prohibited from the automatic renewal or extension of a policy without remarketing by your broker
or the surplus lines broker.
In order to comply with the Alaska Administrative Code, the following notice is given:
You are hereby notified that, under 3 AAC 25.050, your policy will terminate effective no later than the date
and time of its expiration. We reserve the right to cancel this policy sooner than the expiration date by
giving you notice of cancellation as required in AS 21.36.220. You may request through your broker that a
new policy from the surplus lines broker be concurrent with the effective date of the termination of this
policy.
You are also notified that a new policy, if issued by us, is subject to rerating, which may result in a
premium increase of more than ten percent (10%). As required by 3 AAC 25.050, you are hereby notified
that any subsequent policy issued by us may be subject to a ten percent (10%) or more increase in
premium. The actual premium will be based upon rates that apply at the time a subsequent policy, if any,
is issued and will be made available to you before the effective date of the new policy, or the date
subsequent coverage is bound, whichever occurs first.

"hazardous or toxic materials”, or the existence of “hazardous or toxic materials” in any form, in occupancy,
construction, manufacture, sale, transportation, handling, storage, disposal, distribution or removal; and
(2) Regardless of supervision, instructions, recommendations, requests, warnings or advice given or which
should have been given, as well as any costs, including but not limited to, abatement, mitigation, removal,
containment, treatment, detoxification, neutralization, or disposal of ”hazardous or toxic materials”, or in any
way respond to assess the effects of ”hazardous or toxic materials”.

concurrently or in any sequence to such injury.
(3) Any loss, cost or expense arising out of the abating, testing for, monitoring, cleaning up, removing,

Insured under this policy.
C. All references in this policy to minimum premium, deposit premium and premium audit are replaced by the following:
1. The premium shown as advanced premium is both a deposit premium and a minimum premium for the policy
term. At the close of each audit period, we will compute the earned premium for that period. If the earned is more
than the advanced premium, then the amount by which the earned exceeds the advanced premium is due and
payable on notice to you. If the earned premium is less, the advanced premium applies as the minimum premium
with no return premium payable to you.
2. If this policy is cancelled, the pro rata or short rate of the minimum and deposit premium will apply for the policy
term, subject to an absolute minimum earned premium of 25% of the total advanced premium unless final audit
develops a premium greater than 25% of the total advanced premium. If your business is seasonal, the minimum
premium then becomes fully earned at the end of your season.
D. Section V – Definitions is amended to add the following:
“Fungi” means any type or form of fungus, including mold or mildew and any mycotoxins, spores, scents or
byproducts produced or released by “fungi”. However, this exclusion does not apply to any “fungi” or bacteria that are

3 AAC 25.050
This policy is issued by a nonadmitted or surplus lines insurer. Insurance may only be purchased from nonadmitted
insurers if the full amount, kind, or class of insurance cannot be obtained from insurers who are admitted to do business
in the State of Alaska. Your broker or the surplus lines broker has determined that this was true on the date the policy
was placed. Before issuing a renewal policy or extending this policy, remarketing is required. To avoid intentional or
unintentional extension of coverage in the surplus lines market when an admitted market for that coverage exists, a
nonadmitted insurer is prohibited from the automatic renewal or extension of a policy without remarketing by your broker
or the surplus lines broker.
In order to comply with the Alaska Administrative Code, the following notice is given:
You are hereby notified that, under 3 AAC 25.050, your policy will terminate effective no later than the date
and time of its expiration. We reserve the right to cancel this policy sooner than the expiration date by
giving you notice of cancellation as required in AS 21.36.220. You may request through your broker that a
new policy from the surplus lines broker be concurrent with the effective date of the termination of this
policy.
You are also notified that a new policy, if issued by us, is subject to rerating, which may result in a
premium increase of more than ten percent (10%). As required by 3 AAC 25.050, you are hereby notified
that any subsequent policy issued by us may be subject to a ten percent (10%) or more increase in
premium. The actual premium will be based upon rates that apply at the time a subsequent policy, if any,
is issued and will be made available to you before the effective date of the new policy, or the date
subsequent coverage is bound, whichever occurs first.

1. The following Exclusion:
a. Is added to Coverage A; and
b. Replaces the Breach Of Contract exclusion in Coverage B:

implied-in-fact contract.
2. The following Exclusions are added:
Cross Suits

this policy initiating causes of action or allegations against any other Named Insured covered by this policy.

or alleged.
Fines, Penalties And Punitive Or Exemplary Damages
Fines, penalties, and punitive or exemplary damages, or any expenses or any obligation to share such damages
or repay another. However, this exclusion does not apply to punitive damages from wrongful death brought under

(1) Whether arising out of actual, alleged or threatened inhalation of, ingestion of, contact with, exposure to,
existence of, presence of, discharge, dispersal, seepage, migration, infiltration, infestation, release, escape,
growth, production or reproduction of or toxic substances from “hazardous or toxic materials”. This applies
regardless of source, including but not limited to, from any goods, products or structures containing
"hazardous or toxic materials”, or the existence of “hazardous or toxic materials” in any form, in occupancy,
construction, manufacture, sale, transportation, handling, storage, disposal, distribution or removal; and
(2) Regardless of supervision, instructions, recommendations, requests, warnings or advice given or which
should have been given, as well as any costs, including but not limited to, abatement, mitigation, removal,
containment, treatment, detoxification, neutralization, or disposal of ”hazardous or toxic materials”, or in any
way respond to assess the effects of ”hazardous or toxic materials”.
Coverage does not apply to any loss, cost or expenses arising out of the abating, testing for, monitoring, cleaning

to, or assessing the effects of ”hazardous or toxic materials” by any insured or by any other person or entity.

concurrently or in any sequence to such injury or damage.
(2) "Personal and advertising injury" which would not have taken place, in whole or in part, but for the actual,
concurrently or in any sequence to such injury.
(3) Any loss, cost or expense arising out of the abating, testing for, monitoring, cleaning up, removing,

B. The following is added to Section II – Who Is An Insured:
When coverage does not apply for the Named Insured, no coverage or defense shall be afforded to any Additional
Insured under this policy.
C. All references in this policy to minimum premium, deposit premium and premium audit are replaced by the following:
1. The premium shown as advanced premium is both a deposit premium and a minimum premium for the policy
term. At the close of each audit period, we will compute the earned premium for that period. If the earned is more
than the advanced premium, then the amount by which the earned exceeds the advanced premium is due and
payable on notice to you. If the earned premium is less, the advanced premium applies as the minimum premium
with no return premium payable to you.
2. If this policy is cancelled, the pro rata or short rate of the minimum and deposit premium will apply for the policy
term, subject to an absolute minimum earned premium of 25% of the total advanced premium unless final audit
develops a premium greater than 25% of the total advanced premium. If your business is seasonal, the minimum
premium then becomes fully earned at the end of your season.
D. Section V – Definitions is amended to add the following:
“Fungi” means any type or form of fungus, including mold or mildew and any mycotoxins, spores, scents or
byproducts produced or released by “fungi”. However, this exclusion does not apply to any “fungi” or bacteria that are

of a covered loss on the same basis as the coverage described in the Schedule above.
C. The terms of this insurance, including those with respect to:

tion of the action taken, you shall promptly reimburse us for such part of the deductible amount as has been paid by
us.
E. In the event that you do not promptly reimburse us for the deductible amount demanded, then any cost we incur in

I am getting concerned. I have reached out to Chief, Maurice to get details on our
permitted park plans. I need some coordination for public safety.
At this point should I communicate to the city manager and police chief through
the media?
I need to know what the police plan is for McGuffey and Justice.
How will Our demonstrators be protected by police?
I need to know what emergency services will be located near these parks.
Will There be porta potties?
How can we communicate with emergency services?
I have needs for doing my part to enhance public safety while allowing for free
speech and assembly.
I have reached out for a couple weeks and no response.

Subject: RE: CBI concerns
Thank you, Mayor Signer,

I just spoke with Lt. Hatter, who though he would like to be able to do so, has
let me know that there is no way a CPD officer can be assigned at CBI. I expressed my
fear that it only takes one troll with a molotov cocktail to burn down a building which
has a history dating from 1882 and is the only synagogue in Central Virginia. He
promised that he would make sure that the shift commanders through the weekend will
be reminded of the presence of CBI so close to downtown and to the park, and would be
encouraged to increase, as resources allow, patrol around CBI.
I am totally empathetic with the difficult circumstances all the first responders
and law enforcement teams face over the next 36-48 hours and sincerely appreciate any
attention which might be given the synagogue building. I am most interested, though,
in awareness of the times during which congregants are entering, worshipping, and
exiting tonight and tomorrow. Tonight, people will be coming in as early as 5:30p and
exiting around 8:30 or 9:00p. Tomorrow morning, congregants will be entering as early
as 8:30a and leaving between 11:00 and 11:30a. We will have a security guard in place
in the courtyard in front of the building from 5:30p to 9:00 p.m. tonight and tomorrow
morning from 8:30a to noon.
I pray for safety for all who will be doing their best to keep order and peace
over the coming weekend.

This is a special request regarding Congregation Beth

Israel. I just spoke with Rabbi Tom Gutherz
there. Their current plans are to have a single outside
security guard on Friday night and during the day on
Saturday. They have services at 6:15 p.m. on Friday
night and 9-11 a.m. on Saturday. They are obviously
right next to Emancipation Park.
The rhetoric on the online sites right now is quite

intensely anti-Semitic. This post on Daily Stormer about
the rally ends reads, "Next stop: Charlottesville,
VA. Final stop: Auschwitz." This post on Daily Stormer
reads, "the cops are siding with us over the evil Jew
Mayor Michael Singer and his Negroid Deputy Wes
Bellamy. We have it on good authority that the Chief of
police is going to ensure that the protest goes through as
planned, regardless of what the ruling kike/Negroid
powers are attempting." I listened to a podcast
yesterday with two of the organizers and they referred
negatively to Jews and to the fact that a synagogue was
"two blocks away" from the rally. They also talked about
how on Friday night roving bands of ralliers will be
defying restaurants who deny them service. This could
add an element of unpredictability on Friday night as
well.
Given all of these variables I feel it would be prudent for

us to have a more overt police presence near
CBI. Rabbi Gutherz suggested a car stationed in front of
the building, and an offer nearby, which is the customary
practice during High Holidays services.
I would be grateful if I could connect someone from CPD

to Rabbi Gutherz and CBI's Executive Director Kathyrn
Mawyer (I just forwarded you a message she sent).
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Subject: Fwd: Comms Support/Powell Tate
Hello Maurice and Mayor,
This email from Leslie Lake of Powell Tate raises a lot of questions for me.
1.) Why is an outside consultant inviting individual councilors to use their services "to provide any
communications help needed?"
2.) Why would individual councilors need "communications help" at this point when we should all be
going through Miriam and Chief Thomas? If this assistance is something specifically requested by
staff, than I would feel better about that.
3.) Aren't they consultants to the city government, not individual councilors?
4.) Isn't it critical right now for councilors to be of one voice and as Maurice said yesterday, to let staff
do their job? Again if this assistance is something specifically requested by staff than I would feel better
about it. Still I find it hard to see how we would project one voice with five different councilor
communication plans.
5.) What is the baseline contract amount for services provided by Powell Tate and what is added cost to
the city to provide each councilor with their own communications help?
Please advise. Thanks much.

press conference for next Monday. I agree we need to be even more proactive
with the downtown business community about plans.
Stay tuned.

Mike,
I have tried not to bother you about August 12, as I am sure you
are inundated. However, I really need your help on this.
Downtown is swirling with rumors. We have people coming into

stores telling shopkeepers that the City and / or /police are telling
people to close Aug 11-13, Others are saying the police are telling
people to board up our store fronts etc. I keep getting emails form
people asking if this is true, asking what is going on etc. No one
knows what to believe, whether to stay open or close etc.
At the meeting with Maurice and Chief Thomas on July 24 they

promised to keep me and DBAC updated as plans develop. At
this time I have heard nothing that I can share with members and
other businesses, while the rumors keep circulating.
I realized that nothing is final yet. But we are desperately in need

of some information, even if it is a simple statement that says ‘ At
this time we do not have a statement nor instructions to make
regarding Aug 12. We will inform the public once we have plans
we can share”
Thank you for any help you can provide in this matter.
Yours,
Joan

Hello Rick and Mike M.,
Sorry that none of us on council were able to attend what appeared to be an informative, we'll
run meeting on parking last night. Ms. maupin's email however, suggests that she will be
paying "parking fees of $5-10" which does not seem possible unless she is leaving her car in one
of our garages all day. Would one of you mind responding to her?
Many thanks for everything!

Good Morning,
I have not ever contacted you regarding your decisions or actions! This is
a first. I have been a resident of Albemarle County for 47 years! I'm
asking you to consider studying the parking situation in Harrisonburg as a
model. There are Lots of lots of free parking available so shopping in
downtown H'burg can be really easy. I know we have lots of really
wealthy folks in our community for whom parking fees of $5-10 is no big
deal. I'm not one of them! I don't go to city market because I'm not going
to pay for parking. I avoid downtown because of parking issues.
You choose. Maybe there are no other folks like me. Maybe there are
plenty. I think for a vibrant downtown you should consider having more
lots, convenient lots, and free parking for shoppers.

Statement from the City of Charlottesville
"While the City is disappointed by tonight's ruling we will abide by the judge's
decision. The goal in moving the Unite the Right Rally from Emancipation Park
to a larger, more accommodating space like McIntire Park had nothing to do with
the content of the demonstrators' speech. The decision was made based on the
projected number of demonstrators expected in our one acre park in downtown. It
was strictly based on the public safety needs of our community.
Chief Thomas, his team and the hundreds of law enforcement officials in our City
will now turn their full
attention to protecting the Downtown area during tomorrow's events."
Please use the logistical information provided in regards to Emancipation Park.

to take place in Emancipation Park.

Hello Mr. Jones and Mr. Murphy,

This is a notice sent out by CAT on August 7, 2017 concerning disruption in

service. "Beginning tomorrow, 8/8,the Trolley will resume service to McCormick
Rd and route 7 & Route 8 will skip the CVS bus stop in BRSC [Barracks Road
Shopping Center"." No further information.
The bus driver took us to Arlington blvd and then on to Millmont ST. Several of
us asked where we were supposed to get off and she let us off close to Barracks
Rd. She did not say where she would pick us up to take us back downtown and
when. Of course none of this information was on the phone app. Instead it
indicated that the the regular bus stop in front of CVS was still in operation and
indicated that Route 8 would be returning from Stonefields to there. When I
finished shopping and went to the old bus stop there were pink fliers indicating
that that bus stop was closed and that I was to catch the bus on Barracks Rd. It
did not say when that bus would be returning nor that maybe the stop was near
Meadowbrook Shopping Center, a stop with which I am not familiar. I went to
Barracks and Millmont with my groceries and was able to catch Route 5 over to
Arlington and then transfer to Route 7 to head back downtown. I am still not sure
what happened to Route 8, what bus stop I was to use to catch it from BRSC and
at what time since it does not appear on the phone app. If this is not a permanent
change, how long is this disruption in service to be in effect? Will fliers be placed
at bus stops that will temporarily service riders of Route 8 with the approximate
times of arrival or are we to stand somewhere for approximately an hour hoping a
bus will come along?

were going to sit on that bus until we got a driver to 11:30 PM, whichever came
first. Six of us were going home and only the other 3 missed their

waiting for a driver. Back in the spring i was able to call my brother to drive me

My name is Officer H. Pedro and I work in the Traffic Unit with the

violating the 3 foot law, made its way to my attention. I attempted to locate the

come back and I tried various combinations trying to figure it out. The license
plate appears to be personalized so during my travels if I come across a vehicle
with the first 5 letters matching the picture I will have a talk with the driver. If

Good morning Chief Thomas,
I know you have an awful lot on your plate these days, and please know I am very
grateful for everything that you and your officers are doing to keep us safe. A bike
safety issue has been brought to my attention however, and I would like advice on
how best to handle this when you have a moment.
The incident described below by Mr. Deviney concerns the fairly common
occurrence of motorists ignoring the 3' law and tailgating cyclists on city streets,
although in this case the license plate was captured on film. The incident was
reported to the University police (along with these images) but no response has
been received. Should this incident call have been sent to the city police instead of
UVA, since Maury Avenue is a city street?
I have copied Carl Schwartz, chair of the Bike-Pedestrian Advisory Committee

because he receives these complaints on a regular basis as well. Many thanks for
your time which I know is very limited these days.
Best,
Kathy

Yesterday morning about 7:20 I was passed too close by a motorist

on the corner of Maury Ave. proceeding from the intersection with
Business 29 heading towards the stadium. (photos attached).
The car appeared to have a UVA hang tag and a portion of the
license plate is clear in one of the photos.
Perhaps you could contact the driver and give him a friendly
reminder about the 3 foot law.

Hello Mike,
I'm not sure how to respond to Sunshine. On July 20 I requested a meeting with Frank Stoner, Oliver
Platts-Mills, Barbara Wilson, Brenda, Brian, me and you to discuss next steps on friendship court's
master plan; design details, financing, vouchers, and resident engagement. (I also sent sketches to
illustrate my concern with the building massing and scale as currently depicted on the master plan.) At
that time, Barbara responded to me by saying they (the board) would like to wait until Sunshine came
on board. The point of the meeting however, wasn't to be introduced to Sunshine but to get an idea
where the PHA board was on the master plan. We still need that.
My preference therefore, would be to not postpone the meeting since we are already having a
community prep meeting on 8/30 for the form based code in the SIA, followed by the Charrette itself
9/11-9/14. If you agree, I think the response to Sunshine should come from city staff.
Thoughts welcome. Many thanks.

Kathy

Police protection
Tonight as students protesters from the University of Virginia were

assaulted by the Right Jack boots my students and I were maced
by neo-Nazis at the foot of the Statue of Thomas Jefferson. They
came about 100 pm 200 with torchlights to intimidate in the
fashion of the KKK. They chanted ugly slogans. The 30 students
surrounded the base of the statue and yelled “black lives matter” in
a peaceful non-violent fashion. There were no police in sight to
protect the students from the mob of hateful white supremacists.
Kessler stood on the sidelines grinning. I called 911 and no
response though I had seen police in the area. Then the white
supremacists attacked the students throwing their torches and
macing the students. Still no police intervention. Dean of Students
Allen Groves and I entered the neo-Nazi mob in an attempt to see
if any students wanted to leave for safety. Then the brawl started
by the fascists began with a throwing of torch and macing of the
students which is assault. Still no police intervention.
After dean Grives and I ushered the students out of the hateful
Mob to the other side of the statue to rally and get medical
attention and the alt right fascists had left the scene, the police
moved in declared unlawful assembly and the students left. The
students were engaging in non violence surrounding the statue and
were viciously attacked by the neo Nazis and white supremacists.
If this is a sign of things to come, the White supremacists will be

violent tomorrow. I want police protection at Mcguffey and Justice
parks.

Dear Chief Thomas:
I hope this email finds you very well. I understand that Captain Pleasants
may not be able to respond to email at this time, so I thought that given
the time-sensitive nature of the issue I would be in touch with you.
I understand that it was necessary to postpone the meeting last night

due to the city council meeting. How about the following Wednesday,
August 9th, at 6pm? I think setting a new date right away will help us
communicate to the community that the police are indeed committed to
the meeting.
I also really want to emphasize that nobody expects you to prepare

complete answers to the questions prior to the meeting. We all
understand that these questions are complicated and many do not have
easy answers. My co-organizers and I asked the group if we could share
these questions with you in advance only because we thought it might
be helpful for you to know ahead of time what people are thinking
about. It was really just meant to be a friendly heads up, not an added
burden.
Let me know your thoughts. I am happy to talk more about this on the
phone or in person if that's easier.
Thank you for your commitment to community relations. I know how

much is on your shoulders at the moment and I appreciate your
dedication.
Take care,

I don't have a lot of info on the meeting. Gary worked on this but had emergency
oral surgery and asked me to attend on short notice. I had already committed to
the closed council meeting. He wasn't comfortable sending someone else after
reviewing the questions.
I reached out to Wendy (she was out today-oral surgery) and she may be able to
attend. My Captains are worn out and continue to work hard for August 12. We
may not be able to participate in outside events next week, I need them focused
and at their best. I'll let you know if Wendy can attend.

First of all I want to acknowledge Zach's diligent efforts to address the problems
facing Ms. pool, a sight impaired pedestrian. As Zach's email points out, our
police officers recognize that a sidewalk obstruction, could pose an emergency
risk. It is not just a law enforcement problem in other words. For that reason I
have copied chief Baxter.
As Zach has also identified, many people with disabilities are pedestrians and
therefore it is incumbent upon the city to enable walking as a legitimate, safe, and
consistent mode of transportation. That brings up the question of sidewalks,
crosswalks and crossing distances and the overall layout of streets and
intersections within the public right of way. That involves Alex ikefuna, the NDS
director, Brennen Duncan, our engineer and Paul oberdorfer director of public
In short, these persistent public complaints about road infrastructure beginning

last May (most especially west main since it has two (2) major construction
projects west of the Drewary Brown bridge underway at the same time, with two
(2) more coming on line east of the bridge) cry out for a new systematic and
proactive approach in my view. The need for such an approach will only grow
exponentially as the demand for bike-pedestrian safety increases daily and
multiple construction projects come on line at the same time across town, be it
west main, water or Preston.
To that end, sometime after August 12, but before September 18, I would like to
meet with you, Mr. Ikefuna, Mr. Duncan, Chief Baxter, Chief Thomas and Mr.
Oberdorfer to get an update on west Main Street and other corridors in terms of
1.) their adaptability to new multi-modal demands and 2.) readiness for more
construction projects without compromising bike-pedestrian safety. Since, a
"streets that work" implementation update is on the city council meeting calendar
for September 18, a discussion about a concerted, cross-departmental plan for
both implementing bike-pedestrian improvements and coping with construction
projects seems timely.
Best,
Kathy

Today I met with an officer from the Police Department to discuss

the situation with vehicles parking on the sidewalk, and I want to
let you know where we stand.
The Police Department is fully aware that this issue exists.

However, given the size of the force, it's unrealistic to believe they
will see every illegally parked vehicle immediately. Therefore, the
police rely on residents like yourself to report issues when they see
them first. The best way to do this is to call the number that I
shared with you last week (434-977-9041). This is the City's non-
emergency phone line and is ideal for reporting problems like this
to be resolved ASAP. Nonetheless, if a vehicle is parked illegally
and creating an obstruction, you should call 911. The officers
recognize that a sidewalk obstruction preventing a person from
getting to a doctor appointment etc. is a legitimate concern and will
treat these issues as emergencies. That said, they must use
discretion when determining the highest priorities (i.e. active
violent crime as compared to illegal parking). As soon as a
complaint is filed through one of these phone numbers, it is
documented (leaving a paper trail) and an officer is dispatched
right away. From there they will ticket and/or tow as necessary to
get the issue resolved.
I say all this mainly to provide insight into the process. After
meeting with the officer, I can assure you they take every
complaint seriously and will get to them as soon as possible. This
doesn't always mean the situation will be corrected immediately,
but it does mean they are actively moving to provide a solution.
Finally, I want to reiterate how seriously I take this issue as well.
Many people with disabilities travel primarily as pedestrians and
it's important we enable this as a legitimate, safe, and consistent
mode of transportation. Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Zack Lofton
To: Pool, Sarah
I reached out to the Police Department yesterday on this particular

issue and also anticipate a meeting to figure out ways we can
prevent this from happening in the future. Have a great afternoon.
Sincerely,
Zack Lofton
Mr. Lofton:
After I emailed you, my husband flagged down a police officer and
asked him to take care of the situation. The officer said he would.
This afternoon at almost 6pm, the truck was still there and it did
not have a ticket. As my husband walked by he was able to flag
down another officer.
So this makes at least two civil rights violations by the police

today.

All:
This chain includes relevant parties at the City, the University, the Clergy Collective, and
the Police Department.
All, Emil Hill of Weber Shandwick is helping the City with short-term PR needs. In a
conversation this afternoon, Emil's strong suggestion is that we should do press
availability on Saturday morning, perhaps at 10 a.m. to set the stage for the press both
on the City and community's efforts and to start telling our story for beyond 8/12.
At the availability, the speakers would provide brief and direct information to the public
about:
1) the Police Department's approach to balancing public safety and freedom of

expression over the day (with Chief Thomas or a deputy speaking),
2) the City's viewpoint on the weeks ahead, healing, and civility (with myself speaking),
3) information about UVA's "Reflective Conversations" that would be happening that

afternoon (with Louis Nelson or someone else speaking), and
4) information about the Clergy Collective's efforts (with Pastor Dr. Alvin Edwards
speaking).
This would be quick, 3 minutes each, with no questions. For various reasons, Emil
suggested that we do the event at the University instead of CitySpace on the downtown
mall. We should be wrapped up by 10:30 a.m. at the latest.
Pat, Anthony, and Louis: there were initial discussions about using Robertson Hall, which
I believe can fit 190 people. But we would not need nearly that many as this would
primarily be press. Please advise on whether this or another Grounds location could be
provided and any other constraints that would maximize comfort.
Emily also suggested doing a quick conference call about this on Thursday or Friday with
participants, to get on the same page.
Please send around thoughts, questions, feedback, etc.

Couric might be interested in coming to this on Saturday and also covering UVA's
efforts. I just wanted to highlight that element as it might be of particular interest
given the University's impressive efforts with the Reflective Conversations program.

suggested that we do the event at the University instead of CitySpace on the
downtown mall. We should be wrapped up by 10:30 a.m. at the latest.
Pat, Anthony, and Louis: there were initial discussions about using Robertson Hall,
which I believe can fit 190 people. But we would not need nearly that many as this
would primarily be press. Please advise on whether this or another Grounds location
could be provided and any other constraints that would maximize comfort.
Emily also suggested doing a quick conference call about this on Thursday or Friday

Hello Mike,
Shouldn't Brandon be told that the city has already reached out to Crha and PHA and provided
management with information to distribute? Also I had asked Miriam earlier if extra patrols would be
deployed south of water street to add an extra layer of protection to the south side neighborhoods. She
deferred to chief Thomas. Wait to hear.

Dear Mr. Jones and Councilors,

I am extremely disappointed in the City’s no parking plans for this coming weekend.
Friendship Court, Sixth Street, and Crescent Halls will be completely exposed to violent,
armed racists parking in their neighborhoods. The potential for random interactions and
violence is quite high. PHAR has done our part by advising residents on staying safe, we
sincerely wish you would do your part as well.
In addition, we have heard increased concerns that Prospect Ave and Greenstone on 5th
may be specifically targeted by alt-right on Friday or Saturday night.

Dear councilors,
As you contemplate strategies for the upcoming crisis I hope you will consider what
efforts can be taken to protect public housing neighborhoods and Friendship Court from
the influx of hostile participants in the UTR rally.
Please consider parking strategies that will decrease the likelihood of alt-right/resident
contact during the weekend. I suggest disallowing on street parking on Garret St, 2nd St
SE, Monticello Ave, Sixth St, South First Street.
Additionally, efforts to direct foot and vehicle traffic around that area towards
downtown should be in place so that violent extremists are not parking on Avon and
walking through the area to reach downtown.
Thank you for your consideration

Subject: Fwd: Street Address Requirement at City Council_preference to city residents?
Hello Mr. Jones, Mayor Signer and Mr. Murphy,
I have two general questions.
First, Ms. Bennis makes a good point, especially since many who now come to the podium to
speak refuse to give their address for safety reasons. I am both sympathetic to their concerns
about personal safety, yet concerned about the breaking of established rules of conduct in council
chamber. What Ms. Bennis suggests may be a way to protect both personal safety and city
council functioning. If her solution is not technically possible, is there some other solution that
is, like simply writing down addresses on the sign up sheet, but not requiring that they be
verbalized in public?
Second, I asked this question about two or three weeks ago; can council give preference to city
residents during matters by the public? If not why not? If we can, then how? If there is no local
preference than why do we even require street address information? I can certainly see the
mandatory recording of street addresses if this practice is tied to a local residency preference rule
for Charlottesville residents (and possibly Albemarle county residents.)
Of course any protocol changes would have to be reviewed and approved by the full council.
These are simply questions, relative to Ms. Bennis' email. Many thanks.
Best,
Kathy

Hello Councilors,
When my daughter was six, she wrote a letter to City
Council and was asked to read it during a meeting.
This was my first time in council chambers and I had a
sick feeling in my stomach when my daughter was asked
to speak her home address aloud on live TV.
Of course, we teach children never to give away their
home addresses! But in this case, it was required and
broadcast to the public.
I've had the exact same thought every time I've spoken
or observed others as they speak. In this crazy political
time, many are afraid, with good reason, to give away
their home address.
Suggestion:
Would it be enough for people to show a license to the
Clerk of Court, who could then mark either "City" or
"County?" Would that give you the information you
need? Why is this a requirement at all?
Thank you, Kate Bennis

Police protection on Saturday
Dear Chief Thomas
You asked me to let you know if there was a

credible threat.
Tonight as students protesters from the University
of Virginia were assaulted by the Right Jack boots
my students and I were maced by neo-Nazis at the
foot of the Statue of Thomas Jefferson. They came
about 10 pm 200 with torchlights to intimidate in
the fashion of the KKK. They chanted ugly slogans.
The 30 students surrounded the base of the statue
and yelled “black lives matter” in a peaceful non-
violent fashion. I was in the vicinity at St.Paul's
Church and went to
Make sure my students were ok when I heard they
were over there. There were no police in sight to
protect the students from the mob of hateful white
supremacists. Kessler stood on the sidelines
grinning. I called 911 and no response though I had
seen police in the area. Then As I was in the mob
trying to assure the safety of the students the white
supremacists attacked the students throwing their
torches and macing the students. A part of a torch
hit dean Groves. Still no police intervention. Dean
of Students Allen Groves and I entered the neo-Nazi
mob in an attempt to see if any students wanted to
leave for safety. Then the brawl started by the
fascists began with a throwing of torch and macing
of the students which is assault. Still no police
intervention.
After dean Grives and I ushered the students out of

the hateful
Mob to the other side of the statue to rally and get
medical attention and the alt right fascists had left
the scene, the police moved in declared unlawful
assembly and the students left. The students were
engaging in non violence surrounding the statue and
were viciously attacked by the neo Nazis and white
supremacists.
If this is a sign of things to come, the White

supremacists will be violent tomorrow. I want
police protection at Mcguffey and Justice parks.

Hi Erin,
I am away getting married so will not be reachable pretty soon, so I wanted to let

We announced our pre-emptive closing all day Saturday last Friday and
immediately drew the ire of the Nazis. They are planning to target Brazos
tomorrow.
Because of that we plan to close on Friday after lunch now.
We will not announce it until it happens to protect it as a security measure.
I have notified the CPD that we are targets and they said they'd give Brazos and
IX some extra attention Friday evening.
Below is some background on what's happening to us.

Captain Mitchell,
The University of Virginia Police Department will support to the Charlottesville

Police Department on August 12th, 2017 by providing 11 officers to answer
Priority 1 and Priority 2 calls for service as well as accidents in the City of
Charlottesville from 0600 to 1200. UPD will begin 12 hour shifts starting at 2100
on Friday, August 11 and will continue until 0900, August 13th. UPD will have an
increased presence in Corner, Joint Patrol, Medical Center and Central Grounds
areas throughout this time period.
UPD will not respond to calls for service within the street closure areas CPD has
identified for August 12th. This includes Emancipation, Justice, McGuffey and
McIntire Parks or the Downtown Mall. Our departmental resources, staffing
levels and expectations to maintain our ongoing level of service to the University
of Virginia and the Medical Center creates this necessity to limit our assistance.
Additionally, the University has scheduled alternative events such as a women’s
soccer match and football “meet the team” day that coincide with rally times.
These events require police staffing.

Dear all
I wanted to write to you, as many of the stakeholders who have been involved in both
the Unity Cville events on July 8, and in discussions about similar efforts on August 12,
with an update.
As she announced today in an email to the UVA community, President Sullivan, working
with Associate Vice Provost for Outreach Louis Nelson, has decided that the University
will offer on 8/12 a day of faculty-led dialogues on topics of interest to the
community. Included on this email is Professor Nelson. He has so far secured three
library spaces and has a couple of dozen faculty who are interested in offering
discussions on various topics between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Grounds. I am extremely
encouraged by this development as it will provide another opportunity for a loving and
tolerant community to transcend the hatred and intolerance that many outsiders will be
bringing to our City on August 12. I am also cc'ing here on City staff City Manager
Maurice Jones, Chief of Police Al Thomas, Communications Director Miriam Dickler, and
Assistant City Manager Mike Murphy so they are apprised of this important effort.
I'm writing both to let you know about this effort and to invite and encourage you to be
in touch with Louis with any and all ideas and offerings you might be able to provide to
support as local leaders and stakeholders. You can reach Louis at
ln6n@virginia.edu. We will plan on announcing at least some of the events in a press
conference on Monday and on making more information available to the community
during the course of the week.

With no police briefing, it is certainly harder to make decisions.
Assuming you all are taking into consideration that if the S--t hits the fan, you
will be calling the police.
To take into consideration what the police will be managing (at best)- and that
each of them is a human being who wants anything but to have to be at that
rally, or the related incidents. When there is a major weather incident, we are all
asked to stay home, so that the rescue folks don't have to rescue us.
Assuming you all know that there are anarchist groups coming from across the
mountain to engage the nazi groups at the rally. This is not hearsay, but
news from a local business owner who is connected to these groups. (Yes, that is
a contradiction, he calls himself a bad anarchist.)

Subject: Inform friendship court and public housing residents about August 12
Hello Maurice and Mike M.,
Last Saturday at Westhaven day, I spoke with Tami Wright who is both a PHAR employee and the chair of the
friendship court steering committee and resident association. She relayed to me that residents are feeling extremely
vulnerable and in the dark as to how they will be kept safe on August 12. She felt it would be very important if
someone from staff and the police department could meet with residents this week to give them an overview of what
is going on. All I said was that I would look into it and get back to her.
Now that there is a new PHA executive director in place, Sunshine Mahon, would it be possible to work with him
and Grant Duffield to pull together a short information meeting for public housing and friendship court residents in
the SIA (which is close to the downtown)? I have no meetings scheduled at night this week, and as the council's
friendship court steering committee representative, I would very much like to be there. I would also like to be able to
get to Tami Wright with an answer.
Many thanks and wait to hear.
Best,
Kathy

Subject: Introductions
Craig, Maurice, Sam:
This is a quick note to introduce you to each other. Craig and Maurice, Sam Kaplan is the attorney at
Boies Schiller who was recommended to us by Leslie Kendrick at UVA. We just had a 45 minute long call
where we talked through many of the issues presented to us. I explained to him our form of government
as well and the importance of connecting with both of you. He is going to be running conflicts checks
and talking with his colleagues about the case and the timeline.
One important note: Because of the compression here and bandwidth issues, we discussed that one
possible role would be Boies Schiller could be consulting of counsel on the case, advising for instance on
doctrine, but not necessarily direct litigation, as litigation could occur as soon as next week and litigators
may not be available.
Another important note: to understand the cost and scope of the engagement. Boies could discount their
rates, but only partially. I requested that Sam get us a proposal with potential terms for the engagement
envisioned and we work from there.
One possibility, after he's had some more time to think this over, would be for Sam to be on our call
tomorrow for 15 minutes or so to talk about his view of the issues and case so far and talk about what
his work as outside counsel might entail. Council could ask him questions, and then could separately
decide on retention (including considering the potential cost).
For all of these reasons, I recommended that Sam connect with Craig sometime tonight or tomorrow, as
Craig oversees the work of outside counsels and can advise more directly on all of these process issues.
Thanks,
Mike

Subject: KKK Rally and Holy Comforter Catholic Church
Hello Ms. Lynch,
Thanks for your email. I brought up your question about whether or not Holy Comforter Catholic Church on East
Jefferson Street, should hold a 5PM Mass on the 12th of August with our city manager, Maurice Jones yesterday. He
advised me that you should discuss this directly with our police department. By way of copy to Chief Thomas and
Captain Wendy Lewis, I am alerting them to your serious question. Someone from the Charlottesville Police
Department will get back to you very soon.
Thanks again for thinking to ask me for assistance.
Best,
Kathy

Craig -- I know the counsel's office is strapped with Lisa out. If it would be helpful, I wanted to volunteer
my services for any labor that would be helpful. After a shift at WillowTree this morning, I have several
hours this afternoon and evening and can do research, drafting, editing, etc., whatever's helpful, of
course under your command and direction. Just let me know.
Thanks,

Subject: Managing Growth and development in Charlottesville
Hello Maurice,
I realize recent events have taken up a lot of your time and that of your staff. Please know your efforts are much
appreciated. Since last March however, I have met with countless individuals, neighborhood groups and developers
who have become increasingly anxious about Charlottesville's growth and development. The two residents and two
developers copied on this email, have key perspectives to share on that issue.
I would therefore like to meet with you, Ms. Hill, Mr. Rylander, Mr. Henry and Mr. Price between now and August
21, before council discusses a proposed new position in NDS.
Many thanks for your attention, especially during these exceptionally trying times.
Best,
Kathy

Subject: Mine on Facebook this morning
Our hearts today are heavy, and our prayers are with the families of the three people who died as a
result of the violent “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville yesterday: Heather Heyer of
Charlottesville, Lt. H. Jay Cullen of Midlothian, and Trooper Berke M.M. Bates of Quinton.
Heather was killed crossing the street when a man drove his car into a crowd on Fourth Street
between the Downtown Mall and Water Street. The two State Police pilots were killed when the
helicopter they were flying as part of the law enforcement response to the rally crashed in Albemarle
County.
This from my friend Andrea Rupert Ross: “Heather Heyer always stood up for others all the way
back in elementary school. She lost her life caring for what is right and fighting hate.”
I want to personally thank not only the State Police but the City and neighboring police and other first
responders who helped to keep our city safe during this terrible time. While we are heartbroken at
the loss of life and the injuries and emotional trauma of many more, we know it could have been
much worse.
Thanks, too, to all who peacefully assembled to demonstrate the beautiful diversity and solidarity of
our community.
Across the nation, communities will be gathering tonight in solidarity with the people of
Charlottesville as we deal with the attack on our city and the devastating losses of these three
people. We thank them for their support.
We are all stunned and saddened by the violence that came to our city yesterday. I hope in the days
ahead we will be able to comfort one another, be there for one another, and recommit ourselves to
the work of making this city a beautiful community where all are able to thrive and feel welcome.

Al:
When you have time, I would appreciate guidance and any support you can offer on what I should do on
Saturday. It will be tough not to go to the site of the protest for a half-hour or so, but I think I would need to be
accompanied by an officer for safety. I also would appreciate being in the command center at some point. Finally, I
would plan on going to the other events.
I haven't received any specific or general threats. My apologies for adding this onto your stack. Thanks in advance.

Subject: Next steps
(All, I know this is familiar territory to you, but please keep in mind that all emails to us are subject to
FOIA).
Emil, it was good to talk with you today with Mike and Miriam on the phone. I'm hopeful that tomorrow
an agreement can be finalized and that we can have a strategic call in the late morning. If that does
work out, I wanted to get a head start on giving you a few stories that might help in the mission of
putting the best possible light on Charlottesville before, during, and after this weekend.
I have talked with my colleagues on Council and here are several stories that are coming up. I also am
pasting a list below of events, also available here. The UVA events (which I have been heavily involved
in organizing) ar here. unitycville.com is the website and branding we used on July 8, and even though it
is community-run they would like to be involved with this.
Here are several specific events that might be of interest:
- A blood drive by Black Lives Matter at Champion Brewery during the rally on Saturday (I believe starting
at 12 p.m.)
- A prayer vigil at First African Mt. Zion Baptist Church at 2 p.m. on Saturday
- The peace training by the Clergy Alliance on Friday night, where Cornel West will be in attendance
- Two women who run Victory Hall Opera, a small new company here in town focused on social and
political themes, would like to do a performance of some sort and need some guidance
- All the "Reflective Conversations" events at UVA, including teach-ins by many prominent professors on
many important themes and a community potluck
We also need help strategizing the tentative press conference on Saturday morning, where currently the
speakers will be Khizr Khan, Dr. Alvin Edwards, myself, and perhaps one or two other speakers. Nothing
has been announced yet. We are waiting to get a final word from Rep. John Lewis, but that does not
look promising. The themes could be healing, unity, etc. Also, as confirmed today, Dr. Edwards will be
available the whole weekend for specific stories.
Thanks, and looking forward to the conversation and next steps.
Mike

Subject: Outside counsel
Craig -- Leslie Kendrick put in some calls today and has secured a potential outside counsel -- Sam
Kaplan at Boies Schiller -- who could help with both the 1st amendment and potential litigation, bringing
in substantial expertise from DOJ: https://www.bsfllp.com/lawyers/samuel-c-kaplan.html. I will call him
now and hopefully connect. I will of course ask him to talk with you as well. They would provide a
discount but I'm sure it would still be costly. In the event we cross wires (I am still on vacation and my
schedule is choppy this afternoon), his work is (202) 274-1163 and his cell is 703-371-5139. I will send
an update when I have more.
Thanks,
Mike

Subject: Postpone the early childcare agenda item
Hello Maurice and Mayor Signer,
Last Monday 7/31/17, I had a very productive meeting with Diane kuknyo and staff from United Way to discuss the
early childcare needs of our low income and working poor households in Charlottesville. In the process, we soon
realized that more time was needed to develop a set of sound, actionable policy prescriptions for council review and
possible adoption. It would also give Diane and our community partners in human and social services, more time to
reach out to our city's allied professionals in workforce development.
That said, since I was the city councilor who requested this council agenda item in the first place, I now request on
behalf of our DSS staff and community partners that we postpone the August 21 presentation until further
notice. This group with convene again in late September, so it is not being put on a back burner; more like a slow
cooker.
Many thanks.
Best,
Kathy

Subject: Powell Tate
Maurice, Mike - I have been handling the Powell Tate relationship myself so far but really think it would be better
for them to have additional direction from the top of the government, i.e. Maurice as well. It is very confusing to
them who they are working for, and I can't speak, for instance, on the services they can offer CPD (which are
substantial) not only on positive messages but on responding to crisis situations. I hope that you all will reach out to
them separate from me. Thanks.

Council,
We are tentatively planning a press conference for this evening at 6:00 pm to talk about today's
events. We are now planning to hold it in the City Council Chambers at City Hall. This is highly
confidential. We will not be sending out information about the presser until 5:30 to limit the
number of protestors who may attend. Once it comes out on social media it may attract a crowd.
If you plan to attend please let me know.
Thanks.

Subject: Press conference on Saturday morning -- response requested
All:
This chain includes relevant parties at the City, the University, the Clergy Collective, and the Police
Department.
All, Emil Hill of Weber Shandwick is helping the City with short-term PR needs. In a conversation this
afternoon, Emil's strong suggestion is that we should do press availability on Saturday morning, perhaps
at 10 a.m. to set the stage for the press both on the City and community's efforts and to start telling our
story for beyond 8/12.
At the availability, the speakers would provide brief and direct information to the public about:
1) the Police Department's approach to balancing public safety and freedom of expression over the day
(with Chief Thomas or a deputy speaking),
3) information about UVA's "Reflective Conversations" that would be happening that afternoon (with
Louis Nelson or someone else speaking), and
4) information about the Clergy Collective's efforts (with Pastor Dr. Alvin Edwards speaking).
This would be quick, 3 minutes each, with no questions. For various reasons, Emil suggested that we do
the event at the University instead of CitySpace on the downtown mall. We should be wrapped up by
10:30 a.m. at the latest.
Pat, Anthony, and Louis: there were initial discussions about using Robertson Hall, which I believe can fit
190 people. But we would not need nearly that many as this would primarily be press. Please advise on
whether this or another Grounds location could be provided and any other constraints that would
maximize comfort.
Emily also suggested doing a quick conference call about this on Thursday or Friday with participants, to
get on the same page.
Thank you,
Mike

Also, I understand that there will be an article in UVA Today coming out this afternoon

A Local Action;
A National Moment
This Saturday, members of the so-called “Alt Right” will descend on
Charlottesville to bring attention to their vision of white nationalism,
racism, anti-Semitism, xenophobia, and supposed cultural superiority.
Though there has been inflammatory rhetoric on social media, few
know exactly how many will actually appear or how they plan to
behave. But one thing is clear—the nation will be watching us,
and our responsibility to speak truth and love to their
messages of hate and division is stronger than ever before.
That means so many things. It means nonviolence if confronted with
violence or efforts to incite violence. It means respect for police who
are just trying to do their jobs and protect citizens exercising their
rights. It means unity in the face of division. It means confronting, in
a pastoral way, those whose views differ from ours and who would
impose their values and worldview on us. And it means joining and
supporting our friends and neighbors in a disciplined, respectful,
nonviolent response.
Controlling the Narrative

These far-right groups would like nothing more than for us to show
disunity, disrespect, and violence; it feeds their narrative that the
United States has lost its way, that they are the victims, and we need
to return to old and outmoded ways of doing things. Our power lies
in our ability to control our own actions as we engage in large
numbers. For those who plan to attend the rally, it is important to
obtain training on how to conduct ourselves. This is serious business,
and we should prepare so that we will be ready, just like the
nonviolent warriors of decades past, to control the situation and the
narrative for the benefit not just of the city we love, but the principles
we embrace—love, diversity, respect.
I urge citizens to engage in the events leading up to August 12

(see list below), and to make a commitment to expand your
involvement after that day. For those who are uncomfortable
participating in rallies on the 12th, remember that you can canvass
for the fall election, and make a powerful statement in that way as
well. Whatever the form of your engagement on August 12th and
beyond, we have a chance to show the nation and world what we are
all about in this great city of Charlottesville.

A STATEMENT FROM DIANTHA MCKEEL, CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF

SUPERVISORS
On August 12, several groups are planning to participate in the “Unite the Right” rally in
Charlottesville. On behalf of the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors, I am joining our
regional partners in the City of Charlottesville and the University of Virginia in urging our
community to continue to value and exhibit our shared commitment to diversity and
inclusivity as an essential element of a civil society.
We strongly support the First Amendment rights to free speech and assembly for those
who choose to peacefully assemble and express their opinions. These rights belong to
the “Unite the Right” activists who will express their beliefs, and to the many others
who disagree with them. However we do not recognize any individual or group’s right to
incite violence, cause harm or destroy property regardless of ideology. County public
safety professionals will be working in close partnership with local, regional and state
officials to take all necessary steps to protect public safety and order.
We encourage everyone to be aware, vigilant and respectful in whatever choices they

make about August 12.

Thanks Chief. How does this look?
Pursuant to the procedures set forth in the 1995 Police Mutual Aid Agreement I am formally requesting
the assistance of the Albemarle County Police Department’s (ACPD) personnel on Saturday August 12,
2017. Our police department is specifically requesting to utilize the ACPD’s personnel, with coordinated
approval by Chief Lantz and his command staff, to respond to calls for service within the City during the
duration of the events of the day.
We are grateful for the collaborative spirit demonstrated once again by our two police departments as
we prepare for tomorrow’s events. Thank you for your consideration of our request.

Thank you for clarifying the role of the 12 ACPD Officers who will assist with calls for service in the City
on August 12th from 1100-1900hrs. You have made it very clear that ACPD Officers will not assist CPD
with any activities related to the Alt Right Rally. Furthermore, I realize your officers will not respond to
Emancipation Park, Justice Park, and McGuffey Park to assist with calls for service.
I will reach out to the City Manager today to formalize the MOU; I can add the aforementioned language
in the memorandum if needed.
All the best,
Al S. Thomas
Chief of Police
(434) 970-3289

To: Thomas, Al

Captain Mitchell,
As we are approaching the planned rallies, protests and counter-protests
scheduled for August 11-13, 2017, I wanted to take a moment in advance to make
sure that the Charlottesville Police Department (CPD) is provided documentation
reflecting the support that the Albemarle County Police Department (ACPD) is
offering to CPD during the aforementioned dates. I specifically would like to
clarify the role of the 12 uniformed ACPD police officers who will be responding
to Priority 1 and Priority 2 calls for service (CFS) in the City of Charlottesville.
Per the August 4, 2017 agreement between Chief Ron Lantz, ACPD, and Chief Al
Thomas, CPD, these 12 ACPD officers are responsible for answering CFS not
related to the protest/rally from 1100 hours to 1900 hours. This includes not
responding to CFS at McIntire, Justice, Emancipation, and McGuffey Parks, as
well as the area of the Downtown Mall and Pavilion. Our officers have been
instructed that they may need to be held over to continue to assist with CFS in the
City, if requested.
ACPD will have the ACPD SWAT Team and ACPD Mobile Field Force staged at
the County Office Building on McIntire Road (COB McIntire) in the event they
are needed to assist CPD, or respond to incidents in the County. COB McIntire
will be secured on the morning of the August 11, 2017 (potentially sooner) and
the parking lots will be made available to all first responders during the event
dates. COB McIntire has been identified by ACPD as a rally/deployment area in
the need that CPD requests more assets from ACPD. In addition, this area will be
used by Fire & Rescue personnel for staging, patient care and triage. The
Emergency Communications Center (ECC) and the University of Virginia Police
Department’s (UPD) Captain McGee have been briefed on the role of ACPD
during this event. ACPD Lieutenant Miller Stoddard will be sending you a copy
of the ACPD Operational Order in the near future. Thank you and please feel free
to contact me if you have any questions.

Councilors and Mr. Jones,
I have no words of wisdom or advice to share for what you have faced and will face this weekend. The
only things I offer is my respect, admiration and thoughts of support.
I believe the Council and Mr. Jones did a great job handling the events leading up to and after the KKK
Rally. Watching from the outside, and with a small understanding of being in that political role, I can’t
imagine doing any better of a job. I commend Mr. Jones and his staff. I know I would have failed
significantly if I had to face that same challenge.
As for this Saturday, my thoughts of support are with you. I can only imagine how disruptive, distracting
and difficult it has been to prepare and lead the community. Not only are your dealing with preparations
and contingencies, but the loud (But, by far very minority) criticism compounds the stress. There are
nights I loss sleep just thinking about the small things to make the region successful, I can’t imagine
carrying this burden.
As you are very well aware, I wear many hats these (but only for 143 more days). But, with this issue,
the one that is most important to me is as a resident of our community. Events like these do not care
about jurisdictional lines. The threat of well-being does not discriminate between City or County
residents.
Because of that and as a resident of our community, I appreciate your leadership and engagement in
leading the community through this unprecedented difficult time.
Stay safe, stay strong, and remain proud.

I have no words of wisdom or advice to share for what you have faced and will face this
weekend. The only things I offer is my respect, admiration and thoughts of support.
I believe the Council and Mr. Jones did a great job handling the events leading up to and
after the KKK Rally. Watching from the outside, and with a small understanding of being
in that political role, I can’t imagine doing any better of a job. I commend Mr. Jones and
his staff. I know I would have failed significantly if I had to face that same challenge.
As for this Saturday, my thoughts of support are with you. I can only imagine how
disruptive, distracting and difficult it has been to prepare and lead the community. Not
only are your dealing with preparations and contingencies, but the loud (But, by far very
minority) criticism compounds the stress. There are nights I loss sleep just thinking
about the small things to make the region successful, I can’t imagine carrying this
burden.

Hello Paige,
I start teaching this fall semester on Tuesdays and the class ends at 6:30 pm which means I can't get to

Sorry for the inconvenience, but it was the only slot that worked this semester and it is my livelihood.

Hi David,
As a property and business owner on the Downtown Mall I have some thoughts
that you may want to pass along to city hall. It may be a good idea to close off all
access to the mall from the Market Street side. This may give some feeling of
security for the businesses and its customers. Let me know your thoughts on this.

Subject: August 12th Events
Hello Everyone,
As all of you know the “Unite the Right” rally scheduled for this weekend has generated quite a bit of
anxiety in our community. I do want to assure you that our police department, with the assistance of
the state police and our regional partners, is ready for any circumstance that may arise. They have been
working around the clock to prepare, and will have hundreds of law enforcement officials present to
protect our City.
A few tips and logistical issues to pass along:
 I have attached a statement from Captain Victor Mitchell from the police department detailing
the road closures this weekend.
 While the City of Charlottesville has approved a permit for the rally at McIntire Park, there is still
the potential for large crowds of people in Downtown Charlottesville.
 The City of Charlottesville Police Department is preparing for the possibility of people gathering
at both McIntire and Emancipation Parks. These plans may involve road closures on Saturday,
August 12.
 With large crowds of individuals with strongly held and potentially opposing beliefs, there is also
the potential for conflict. Those who live and work in the area of these events should exercise
their best judgment on the day of the rally and should avoid the area if they have concerns. Err
on the side of caution if in doubt.
 CPD and their law enforcement partners, primarily the Virginia State Police, will have a visible
presence in the City over the weekend for the purpose of ensuring this remains a peaceful
assembly, and for the safety and protection of people and property.
 There will be increased law enforcement patrols in neighborhoods adjacent to McIntire Park and
in Downtown Charlottesville.
 As logistical information is finalized and available, it will be released to the media and available
to the public online at the City’s website www.charlottesville.org under our “news” heading.
 On the day of the event, releases will be posted online to our regional emergency management
community website www.communityemergency.org
 Updates will also be posted throughout the day of August 12 via social media on Facebook at
www.facebook.com/charlotteville-police-department and Twitter at @cvillecityhall
I thank all of you who have participated in the planning for this weekend. This has been a true team
effort and reflects the values of our organization. Our City is dedicated to protecting the constitutional
rights of free assembly and free speech. The City has an obligation to protect not only those rights but
the people who seek to exercise them peacefully, and the broader community. We will do just that this
weekend. I would ask that you keep our public safety personnel and our community in your thoughts
and prayers as we continue to serve our City.
As always, I am deeply appreciative of your commitment to our community.
All the Best,

Maurice

We are all really excited for the event on September 30. As you know, Governor McAuliffe and Secretary

including the UVA police making arrangements. However, I have heard concerning news from Louis
Nelson that you have asked for a delay to October.
I am not sure this is workable given what's already in place. I would like to do a call tomorrow to
understand what's going on. The worst case scenario might be that we just drop the Perrone piece and
focus on the policy discussions that are already planned, though that would be unfortunate.
I'm free to talk tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. or 3 p.m. Paige can arrange.

I look forward to the event. As a Graduate Engineering school alum, I can imagine how thrilled I
would've been to be getting autonomous rides around campus and town back in the day. Aside
from the safety factor, it was a long walk to the parking lot from Thornton Hall :).
I hope that that this event also fuels interest in bringing autonomy to our community soon. More
than a few cities are putting a lot of time and money into this. Some have reached out to us. We
have a solution that could yea verily bring autonomous local electric vehicles to the area NOW
for use by students, faculty, and citizens, and at the same time serve as a tremendous research
platform. We hope this event is the inspirational spark to bring autonomy to our town.

Dear Paul, Greg, and David:
I’m writing all three of you as I’m not sure who will be taking the lead on logistics. I have been in touch
the appropriate folks here at UVA and we have approval to run the Autonomous Vehicle Demonstration
to be held on Sept 30th on the Grounds here at UVA. As we have discussed, running the program on
UVA-owned/managed roads will drastically reduce the complexities of running the event on public
roads.
I have now been asked to put you in touch with Becca White, copied, who will help to make the
arrangements from the UVA side. She is aware that we are hoping to have a demonstration that runs on
roads, rather than cones in a parking lot, in order to provide a more realistic experience, but to do so
she will need to work to reroute busses, etc., for the duration of the day.
I’ve copied both Mike and Tom to keep them apprised.
Thanks to you all for partnering with us on this very exciting event.

This is a special request regarding Congregation Beth Israel. I just

spoke with Rabbi Tom Gutherz there. Their current plans are to have a
single outside security guard on Friday night and during the day on
Saturday. They have services at 6:15 p.m. on Friday night and 9-11
a.m. on Saturday. They are obviously right next to Emancipation Park.
The rhetoric on the online sites right now is quite intensely anti-
Semitic. This post on Daily Stormer about the rally ends reads, "Next
stop: Charlottesville, VA. Final stop: Auschwitz." This post on Daily
Stormer reads, "the cops are siding with us over the evil Jew Mayor
Michael Singer and his Negroid Deputy Wes Bellamy. We have it on
good authority that the Chief of police is going to ensure that the protest
goes through as planned, regardless of what the ruling kike/Negroid
powers are attempting." I listened to a podcast yesterday with two of the
organizers and they referred negatively to Jews and to the fact that a
synagogue was "two blocks away" from the rally. They also talked about
how on Friday night roving bands of ralliers will be defying restaurants
who deny them service. This could add an element of unpredictability on
Friday night as well.
Given all of these variables I feel it would be prudent for us to have a

more overt police presence near CBI. Rabbi Gutherz suggested a car
stationed in front of the building, and an offer nearby, which is the
I would be grateful if I could connect someone from CPD to Rabbi

Gutherz and CBI's Executive Director Kathyrn Mawyer (I just forwarded

Subject: RE: CBI concerns
Thank you, Mayor Signer,

I just spoke with Lt. Hatter, who though he would like to be able to do so, has let me know that
there is no way a CPD officer can be assigned at CBI. I expressed my fear that it only takes one troll with
a molotov cocktail to burn down a building which has a history dating from 1882 and is the only
synagogue in Central Virginia. He promised that he would make sure that the shift commanders
through the weekend will be reminded of the presence of CBI so close to downtown and to the park,
and would be encouraged to increase, as resources allow, patrol around CBI.
I am totally empathetic with the difficult circumstances all the first responders and law
enforcement teams face over the next 36-48 hours and sincerely appreciate any attention which might
be given the synagogue building. I am most interested, though, in awareness of the times during which
congregants are entering, worshipping, and exiting tonight and tomorrow. Tonight, people will be
coming in as early as 5:30p and exiting around 8:30 or 9:00p. Tomorrow morning, congregants will be
entering as early as 8:30a and leaving between 11:00 and 11:30a. We will have a security guard in place
in the courtyard in front of the building from 5:30p to 9:00 p.m. tonight and tomorrow morning from
8:30a to noon.
I pray for safety for all who will be doing their best to keep order and peace over the coming

This is the response I got from CNN’s Tristan Smith:
We will basically be asking about the statue controversy, what his stand has been on it, and how he has
dealt with the controversy since. We would like for the Mayor to put things in context as to the
discussions going on throughout the South about confederate statues and memorials, and the reaction
to both sides of the debate. Not looking for any “gotchas” or anything like that.
He’s also asked for additional information on the City’s planning for the protest and asked to be kept

Thank you for reaching out to seek my professional perspective and advice. Speaking as a registered
architect with the CNU accreditation, it is a worthwhile credential. It also requires holders to attend
conferences and webinars to maintain this credential, thereby keeping one up to date on best
practices. It is not a terribly difficult exam. If you haven't already you could also get more information
from the New Urbanism Division of the American Planning
Association. https://www.planning.org/divisions/newurbanism/
As is our unwritten policy, any of my communications with staff, even those not initiated by me,
should be copied to the city manager and the immediate supervisor. Thanks again for contacting me
and showing such initiative!
Best,
Kathy

Good morning, Councilmember Galvin:
I hope you had a great weekend.
The reason I’m emailing is because I’m considering seeking CNU Accreditation and am
wondering how you feel about it. I saw that you’re accredited and figured you could
provide good insight. There are obviously many certifications and credentials these days,
some of which I’m confident are more valuable than others. All that to say, I want to hear
from someone that’s been through the process and has experience with it. Any
information you can give is much appreciated. Thanks so much!

This is just a suggestion and it may sound a bit arcane but has anyone considered calling a curfew in the
City at dark or maybe even 8:00 PM?

 The Joint Information Center (JIC) is also open in Downtown with Public
Information Officers from the City and Virginia State Police overseeing

 Last night’s march resulted in a couple of minor injuries and one arrest. As the
great majority of the march occurred on the grounds of the University the law
enforcement response was coordinated by UVA police. We offered assistance
yesterday evening and were told they had “ample” resources. We provided
assistance once called upon by UVA. That occurred pretty much after the
altercation between the alt right group and the counter protestors.

This email from Leslie Lake of Powell Tate raises a lot of questions for

1.) Why is an outside consultant inviting individual councilors to use

their services "to provide any communications help needed?"
2.) Why would individual councilors need "communications help" at this
point when we should all be going through Miriam and Chief
Thomas? If this assistance is something specifically requested by
3.) Aren't they consultants to the city government, not individual
councilors?
4.) Isn't it critical right now for councilors to be of one voice and as
Maurice said yesterday, to let staff do their job? Again if this assistance
is something specifically requested by staff than I would feel better
about it. Still I find it hard to see how we would project one voice with
five different councilor communication plans.
5.) What is the baseline contract amount for services provided by Powell
Tate and what is added cost to the city to provide each councilor with
their own communications help?

Councilor,
Our staff met with Emil and Leslie this morning. We recommended that they offer each Councilor the
opportunity to meet with them to discuss our messaging in the next couple of days. We are working
closely with them to discuss how best to navigate through the communications waters this weekend. I
still believe it’s best for official communications to come from the City for most of this weekend
however we wanted all of you to have access to some communications assistance if you felt compelled
to be part of the narrative. The cost of Powell Tate’s services to the City is $4,900.

Hi all –
As you are aware, the City of Charlottesville has retained Powell Tate to assist with
communications efforts this week. My colleague, Emil Hill (cc’d here), and I are here
from Powell Tate onsite at City Hall and available to answer questions or provide any
communications help needed. Right now, we’re in the 2nd floor conference room in the
City Manager’s office.

Very quickly as my next appointment is here, but I have just received the green light
from President Sullivan to host a five hour event on Grounds called “Community
Conversations” to run from noon to 5 on the 12th. This will be a series of discussions,
workshops and some lectures led by UVA faculty, staff and students and I have also just
begun to extend invitations to community leaders. Most of the topics are to be current
issues: first amendment rights, the history of KKK in Charlottesville, etc..
SO, if there are folks who would like to contribute some kind of session to that event
you would be most welcome to do so. We will be holding these events in all three of our
libraries simultaneously and we are hoping to run a film series in Small Auditorium as
part of the program (“I am Not your Negro” to get top billing, but others as well).
That said, we probably do not have space for a singular high profile speaker. If such a
speaker were to accept an invitation, I’ll need to circle back to Terry Sullivan. I’m very
happy to do that, of course.

Louis -- in the event that UVA does not become the location for UnityCville programming,
I wanted to connect you with Leslie Bowman at Monticello, who has played a leading role
in recent weeks in leading the community to develop proactive steps about the activities
the community has on 8/12 and the story that is told, and my wife Emily Blout, also an
incoming Media Studies professor at UVA, who has a lot of experience in these
matters. We just got off a call with Joshua Dubois, who had previously put us in touch
with Reverend Barber, also included here. All, Louis is Vice Provost for Outreach at UVA
and has done a ton of work advocating internally for them playing a role.
Louis, we brainstormed on our call a bit about alternative locations and the potential
speakers still in the mix, and were thinking about a UVA leader with bandwidth and
energy to help put together activities. Especially if Grounds doesn't work out, you
naturally leaped to mind. So I just wanted to make the quick connection now. We still
have invitations out to John Lewis and Michelle Obama and others as well. One possible
new location that came up is Piedmont Virginia Community College, which could certainly
handle a couple of thousand people who might see a major speaker. I'm reaching out to
Frank Friedman as well.
Feel free to update us, and we will send around news as different invitees come back
in. I'm also looping Maurice and Mike with the City so they're informed.
Thanks,
Mike

Charlottesville Police is the lead agency with support of the Virginia

yesterday.
Did VSP and local police receive ‘stand down’ orders for the rally
yesterday? I’ve heard many anectdotes alleging that or that police had
orders to not intervene in any of the street fighting unless they were
ordered to do so … by someone. Not sure who that would be. (CPD
Capt. Victor Mitchell? Chief Al Thomas? A VSP commander?)
Who was in charge of the scene in Emancipation Park, the general

downtown area? And were there specific orders to LEO assigned to the
area about what should be done in case of fighting in the streets?

I have also told them that I requested the City host meeting on Aug 9th to talk directly to the downtown business
owners. I hope you will put that in place and confirm a time and date. That would also be really helpful and again
an announcement of that , and there there will be a chance to communicate before Aug 11-13 would be great.
I appreciate all the intricacies of what you are working on ,but please be proactive and work with us, to make sure
that a lack of information does not compound that situation.

Dear Mr. Siebert,
Thanks so much for your very thorough response to Ms. Maupin. I especially appreciate your
insight on the connection between excess surface parking lots, low land value and a successful
downtown. Have a great weekend.

Dear Ms. Maupin,
Council member Galvin forwarded to me your concerns regarding parking in the

Downtown Mall area. Thank you for writing. It is always important to hear from our
residents so that we can better understand their concerns.
Every municipality is different and faces different challenges as a result. I am not very
familiar with Harrisonburg but I looked up parking on their website and reviewed aerial
images from Google Earth. Harrisonburg does have the luxury of lots of open surface
parking lots that make parking easy. Unfortunately lots of open surface parking lots also
means land is not very valuable and is typically a sign that the downtown is less
successful than it might be otherwise. We here is Charlottesville have a very compact
urbanized area around the Downtown Mall with very few surface parking lots in
comparison. As a result we have a great deal of competition for the limited on-street
parking and two public parking garages that are very busy.
The City is addressing the parking issue with a multi-pronged approach. As I hope you
are aware the City recently made a significant investment in the purchase of a piece of
property across from City Hall where currently the Lucky 7 convenience store is
located. This land was purchased with the specific intention of creating additional
public parking. The City is not, however, simply planning to build more parking. In
addition, the City is seeking to better manage the existing public parking. We are doing
so by installing metered parking as a 6 month test program in the immediate area of the
Mall. In conjunction with the new parking meters changes are also coming to the
Market Street Garage. On September 5, 2017 when the meter test starts the rates will
also change in the garage. The first hour of garage parking will become free and the
parking rate will be reduced from $2.50 per hour to $1.50 per hour. So you could come
Downtown, park in the garage for 2 hours, shop and walk and only pay $1.50 for your
parking. In addition, some other changes will be made to encourage Mall employees to
park in the garage and not on the street so more on-street parking will be available to
Mall customers. You can read all about the pending changes on-line at
http://www.charlottesville.org/parking.
All the parking changes are designed to reduce traffic and improve the availability and
predictability of parking Downtown. I encourage you to come to the Downtown Mall
and experience for yourself all the diverse shops and restaurants as well as the City
Market. I think you will find it a lot of fun.
Thanks again for writing. You can contact me directly any time.

Good Morning,
I have not ever contacted you regarding your decisions or

actions! This is a first. I have been a resident of Albemarle
County for 47 years! I'm asking you to consider studying the
parking situation in Harrisonburg as a model. There are Lots
of lots of free parking available so shopping in downtown
H'burg can be really easy. I know we have lots of really
wealthy folks in our community for whom parking fees of $5-
10 is no big deal. I'm not one of them! I don't go to city
market because I'm not going to pay for parking. I avoid
downtown because of parking issues.
You choose. Maybe there are no other folks like me. Maybe
there are plenty. I think for a vibrant downtown you should
consider having more lots, convenient lots, and free parking
for shoppers.

and assembly in a larger and more accommodating space, we will abide with the court’s decision and allow the rally
In line with the ruling of the court today, Mr. Kessler will be permitted to hold his rally in Emancipation Park on
Saturday, August 12, 2017. Please use the logistical information provided in regards to Emancipation Park.

The stop will reopen when the construction at BRSC is completed. The anticipated date
for this is, as of this morning, August 15,2017. The construction company has been
having difficulty with all repairs and reconstruction at BRSC so this is subject to be

Looking in the new bus schedule released August 5, 2017, I notice that the
Barracks Road Shopping Center bus stop in front of CVS, now closed, is
listed. Is this to suggest that that stop will be re-opened sometime in the near
future?

Hello Mr. Jones and Mr. Murphy,

Mr. Martin's experience yesterday with Route 8, does beg the questions he
raises. I realize you typically copy council on responses, and for that I am very
grateful. I just want to underscore my interest in your response to Mr. Martin

This is a notice sent out by CAT on August 7, 2017 concerning

disruption in service. "Beginning tomorrow, 8/8,the Trolley will
resume service to McCormick Rd and route 7 & Route 8 will skip
the CVS bus stop in BRSC [Barracks Road
Shopping Center"." No further information.
The bus driver took us to Arlington blvd and then on to Millmont
ST. Several of us asked where we were supposed to get off and
she let us off close to Barracks Rd. She did not say where she
would pick us up to take us back downtown and when. Of course
none of this information was on the phone app. Instead it
indicated that the the regular bus stop in front of CVS was still in
operation and indicated that Route 8 would be returning from
Stonefields to there. When I finished shopping and went to the
old bus stop there were pink fliers indicating that that bus stop
was closed and that I was to catch the bus on Barracks Rd. It did
not say when that bus would be returning nor that maybe the stop
was near Meadowbrook Shopping Center, a stop with which I am
not familiar. I went to Barracks and Millmont with my groceries
and was able to catch Route 5 over to Arlington and then transfer
to Route 7 to head back downtown. I am still not sure what
happened to Route 8, what bus stop I was to use to catch it from
BRSC and at what time since it does not appear on the phone app.
If this is not a permanent change, how long is this disruption in
service to be in effect? Will fliers be placed at bus stops that will
temporarily service riders of Route 8 with the approximate times
of arrival or are we to stand somewhere for approximately an hour
hoping a bus will come along?

Hello Mike,
As the other city council appointed representative on the friendship court steering committee, I made
sure you were included on my original 7/20/17 request for a meeting. The progress of this project
would definitely benefit from your presence.
Yes, the meeting is Thursday, 8/17 at 4:30 pm in the second floor conference room. Thanks so much
with following up with Brenda and Sunshine tomorrow.
Best,
Kathy
Kathy,
I agree that assembling the group next week would be preferable. I would be happy to
discuss with Sunshine. I should note that I did not receive a meeting notice or get
included on the email. Is the meeting Thursday at 4:30? I will talk to Brenda and reach
out to him tomorrow.

Hello Mike,
I'm not sure how to respond to Sunshine. On July 20 I requested a
meeting with Frank Stoner, Oliver Platts-Mills, Barbara Wilson, Brenda,
Brian, me and you to discuss next steps on friendship court's master
plan; design details, financing, vouchers, and resident engagement. (I
also sent sketches to illustrate my concern with the building massing
and scale as currently depicted on the master plan.) At that time,
Barbara responded to me by saying they (the board) would like to wait
until Sunshine came on board. The point of the meeting however,
wasn't to be introduced to Sunshine but to get an idea where the PHA
board was on the master plan. We still need that.
My preference therefore, would be to not postpone the meeting since

we are already having a community prep meeting on 8/30 for the form
based code in the SIA, followed by the Charrette itself 9/11-9/14. If you
agree, I think the response to Sunshine should come from city staff.
Thoughts welcome. Many thanks.
Best,
Kathy

Given the meetings that I have scheduled with many of

Subject: Re: Friendship Court Update Meeting 8/17
Dear Sunshine, Mike et al,
Just to refresh everyone's memory, my questions date back to a 7/20/17 email to board chair Frank
Stoner and members, requesting a meeting. In response, Vice Chair Barbara Wilson recommended that
we include the new ED and we in the City readily agreed.
My specific questions at that time revolved around:

-project design details (schematic massing and scale of the current Friendship Court master plan are
better than what is allowed by right, but still reminiscent of a large footprint, suburban office park or
apartment complex-sketches to illustrate my concerns were attached to the 7/20/17 email);
-resident engagement on matters pertaining to overall project design, not only apartment layouts;
-creative ways to accommodate parking; and
-working with the City and the city's form based code consultant to assist with addressing all of the
above.
We also understand that physical design and community engagement questions cannot be answered
independent of resolving other issues namely:
-financing;
-development strategies including but not limited to a discussion about public/private partnerships with
groups like EYA and Jonathan Rose; and
-securing vouchers.
I hope this summary of issues helps to clarify our hopes for the meeting on 8/17/17. As Mike stated in
his earlier email, others can certainly add whatever agenda items they think may be important. Many
thanks to all. Please let me know of anyone would like me to forward those sketches again.
Best,
Kathy

Good Morning Sunshine. I wanted to share on behalf of the City representatives that
we would like to keep the scheduled meeting on 8/17. As you know, finding a time
with so many full schedules can be a challenge. The City has planned events to discuss
the broader development in the area that come soon after our scheduled meeting. I
understand that you have a number of individual and group meetings scheduled, but I
believe they will be a bit different than this. If we can get a general update, and
responses to Ms. Galvin’s specific questions, that would be very helpful. Others can add
whatever agenda items may be important.

Miriam,
Thank you for the information shared yesterday. I did want to follow up to confirm if
there was a direct number I can provide to North Downtown residents if incidents may
arise among residential properties? Yesterday at the DBAC meeting it was mentioned
that a number would be provided to downtown businesses as there would be someone
leading the assigned officers to the Mall. If a similar process is being followed for other
areas, namely residential streets surrounding the parks, it would be great for me to
include in communications to North Downtown residents.
Lastly, and related, if there are any specific tips for how residents should immediately
respond if there is unwelcome activity on or around their property that may help ensure
safety and ensure law enforcement is notified when appropriate, they would be
welcomed.

Hello all – Please see below for some information we will be releasing shortly to the

tomorrow, including traffic plans as they are finalized. Thank you for your
patience. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thanks! Miriam
 While the City of Charlottesville has approved a permit for the August 12, 2017
“Unite the Right” rally at McIntire Park, there is still the potential for large
crowds of people in Downtown Charlottesville.
 The City of Charlottesville Police Department is preparing for the possibility of
people gathering at both McIntire and Emancipation Parks. These plans may
involve road closures on Saturday, August 12. Further information regarding
traffic plans will be released on Thursday, August 10, 2017
 With large crowds of individuals with strongly held and potentially opposing
beliefs, there is also the potential for conflict. Those who live and work in the
area of these events should exercise their best judgment on the day of the rally
and should avoid the area if they have concerns. Err on the side of caution if in
doubt.
 CPD and their law enforcement partners, primarily the Virginia State Police, will
have a visible presence in the City over the weekend for the purpose of ensuring
this remains a peaceful assembly, and for the safety and protection of people
and property. These law enforcement agencies have been working together in
preparation for the August 12 event.
 There will be increased law enforcement patrols in neighborhoods adjacent to
McIntire Park and in Downtown Charlottesville.
 We remind our community that people are guaranteed the right to assemble
peacefully in public spaces and express their opinions.
 A number of community organizations are arranging events as counter
programming to the rally. Please consider attending those events.
 As logistical information is finalized and available, it will be released to the
media and available to the public online at the City’s website
www.charlottesville.org under our “news” heading.
 On the day of the event, releases will be posted online to our regional
emergency management community website www.communityemergency.org
 Updates will also be posted throughout the day of August 12 via social media on
Facebook at www.facebook.com/charlotteville-police-department and Twitter

Good morning Heather.
I am working on points to send around this morning.

To clarify regarding a website, we had not planned to establish an event specific
site. However, we, with our partners in the County and at UVA, have a website for
emergency management purposes, communityemergency.org. We have used that site
in the past for critical incident and emergency management information. We intend to
use that resource again on the 12th for updates and releases as they become
available. Additionally, we will be using the CPD Facebook page
(facebook.com/Charlottesville-police-department) and the City Twitter (@cvillecityhall)
account to push out updates throughout the day. Our regional partners will be sharing
and retweeting those updates as they are able as well.
We appreciate your patience as we work out the logistical details of this event. As soon
as I have received feedback on the points I have put together from our folks over here, I
will be sharing them.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need any additional information.

Good afternoon. Last Saturday at Westhaven day Councilor Galvin spoke to a resident
with connections to Friendship Court and the CRHA properties. She shared that your
residents are feeling vulnerable and lack information about how they will be kept safe
on August 12. We would be happy to talk with you about a communication strategy for
your residents. We do have limited resources but we could provide information for a
flyer, meet with staff in your organization, meet with block captains in Friendship Court
or PHAR representatives, or hold a short meeting for residents in a community
center. Obviously time is short and you know best how to get information to your
tenants. Please get back to me directly if you see any need and to discuss alternatives.
All the best,
Mike

Good morning Miriam,
Thanks so much for providing this information to the administrative leadership of the CRHA and PHA.
When your message states that, "There will be increased law enforcement patrols in neighborhoods
adjacent to McIntire Park and in Downtown Charlottesville," will that include increased patrols to
promote safety and a sense of security in neighborhoods south of Water street?
Many thanks again.
Best,
Kathy
Hello all - Please see below for some information we will be releasing shortly to the
press and public that may be of use to you. We will be sending additional information
tomorrow, including traffic plans as they are finalized. Thank you for your
patience. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thanks! Miriam
 While the City of Charlottesville has approved a permit for the August 12, 2017
“Unite the Right” rally at McIntire Park, there is still the potential for large
crowds of people in Downtown Charlottesville.
 The City of Charlottesville Police Department is preparing for the possibility of
people gathering at both McIntire and Emancipation Parks. These plans may
involve road closures on Saturday, August 12. Further information regarding
traffic plans will be released on Thursday, August 10, 2017
 With large crowds of individuals with strongly held and potentially opposing
beliefs, there is also the potential for conflict. Those who live and work in the
area of these events should exercise their best judgment on the day of the rally
and should avoid the area if they have concerns. Err on the side of caution if in
doubt.
 CPD and their law enforcement partners, primarily the Virginia State Police, will
have a visible presence in the City over the weekend for the purpose of ensuring
this remains a peaceful assembly, and for the safety and protection of people
and property. These law enforcement agencies have been working together in
preparation for the August 12 event.
 There will be increased law enforcement patrols in neighborhoods adjacent to
McIntire Park and in Downtown Charlottesville.
 We remind our community that people are guaranteed the right to assemble
peacefully in public spaces and express their opinions.
 A number of community organizations are arranging events as counter
programming to the rally. Please consider attending those events.
 As logistical information is finalized and available, it will be released to the
media and available to the public online at the City’s website
www.charlottesville.org under our “news” heading.
 On the day of the event, releases will be posted online to our regional
emergency management community website www.communityemergency.org
 Updates will also be posted throughout the day of August 12 via social media on
Facebook at www.facebook.com/charlotteville-police-department and Twitter
at @cvillecityhall

Representatives from the Department of Justice's Community Relations Division will be working

Charlottesville Police is the lead agency with support of the Virginia State Police and our

responded to a number of fights in and around the park and the City. You can see video

Corinne,
Did VSP and local police receive ‘stand down’ orders for the rally yesterday? I’ve heard
many anectdotes alleging that or that police had orders to not intervene in any of the
street fighting unless they were ordered to do so … by someone. Not sure who that
would be. (CPD Capt. Victor Mitchell? Chief Al Thomas? A VSP commander?)
Who was in charge of the scene in Emancipation Park, the general downtown area? And
were there specific orders to LEO assigned to the area about what should be done in
case of fighting in the streets?

email at this time, so I thought that given the time-sensitive nature of the issue I would be in touch with
you.
I understand that it was necessary to postpone the meeting last night due to the city council
meeting. How about the following Wednesday, August 9th, at 6pm? I think setting a new date right
away will help us communicate to the community that the police are indeed committed to the meeting.
I also really want to emphasize that nobody expects you to prepare complete answers to the questions
prior to the meeting. We all understand that these questions are complicated and many do not have
easy answers. My co-organizers and I asked the group if we could share these questions with you in
advance only because we thought it might be helpful for you to know ahead of time what people are
thinking about. It was really just meant to be a friendly heads up, not an added burden.
Let me know your thoughts. I am happy to talk more about this on the phone or in person if that's
easier.
Thank you for your commitment to community relations. I know how much is on your shoulders at the
moment and I appreciate your dedication.
Take care,

I don't have a lot of info on the meeting. Gary worked on this but had emergency oral surgery
and asked me to attend on short notice. I had already committed to the closed council meeting.
He wasn't comfortable sending someone else after reviewing the questions.
I reached out to Wendy (she was out today-oral surgery) and she may be able to attend. My
Captains are worn out and continue to work hard for August 12. We may not be able to
participate in outside events next week, I need them focused and at their best. I'll let you know if

The judge has ruled in favor of Mr. Kessler. He will be allowed to hold his event
in Emancipation Park. I have not seen the judge's ruling but I do know that Craig
and his team did an extraordinary job of preparing this case.
We will now respond accordingly.

This is to acknowledge activation of the Police Mutual Aid Agreement between our two jurisdictions for
specific support as indicated in your request for mutual aid. With this activation, ACPD will continue its
close coordination with CPD in support of City law enforcement efforts related to the scheduled “Unite
the Right” event and any other matters arising on Saturday, August 12th. I am aware of the significant
planning and preparation work that has already occurred by and between our respective police
departments and others and am confident that reasonable measures are in place to assure the health,

Doug,
We greatly appreciate your thoughts and support as we prepare for what will be a challenging day for
our community.
2017. Our police department is requesting to utilize the ACPD’s personnel, with coordinated approval
by Chief Lantz and his command staff, to respond to calls for service within the City during the duration
of the events of the day. In consultation with Captain Sean Reeves of the ACPD, we are specifically
requesting that:
 ACPD will provide 12 uniformed patrol officers who will be responsible for responding to
Priority 1 and Priority 2 calls for service (CFS) in the City of Charlottesville.
 The 12 uniformed ACPD officers are responsible for answering CFS not related to the
protest/rally from 1100 hours to 1900 hours.
 These 12 uniformed ACPD officers may be required to respond to CFS past 1900 hours, at the
request of CPD.
 The 12 uniformed ACPD officers will not respond to CFS at McIntire, Justice, Emancipation, and
McGuffey Parks, as well as the area of the Downtown Mall and Pavilion.
 ACPD will have the ACPD SWAT Team and ACPD Mobile Field Force staged at the County Office
Building on McIntire Road (COB McIntire) in the event they are needed to assist CPD with the
planned rallies, protests and counter-protests. These assets will deploy at the request of CPD.
 COB McIntire will be secured by ACPD personnel during the event, and the parking lots at this
location will be made available to all first responders during the event dates.
Thank you for your consideration of our request.
All the Best,

Maurice,
The Albemarle County Police Department is prepared to provide support to the Charlottesville Police
Department pursuant to the governing Police Mutual Aid Agreement between our two jurisdictions. I
understand that Chief Lantz and Chief Thomas have established a clear understanding of the specific
nature of that support including how and when such assistance will be provided. To this end, I believe
protocol calls for the City Manager, in this case, to request activation of the Agreement as was done in
advance of the July 8th event. Once that request is received, activation of the Police Mutual Aid
Agreement will be acknowledged by the County. I know this may be a very small detail in a much bigger
operational endeavor but do want to be sure that we don’t miss an opportunity on the front end to
clarify the legal basis of our mutual aid and law enforcement support.
Regardless of our formal protocols, please know that Albemarle County stands ready to support our
shared interest in public safety. Please let me know how else we can seek to collaborate in this regard.
We have our city colleagues in our thoughts.

Subject: RE: Potential retirees
Mr. Mayor,
There have been plenty of emails sent from numerous people around the country during the last 18
months declaring they are not coming to or shopping in Charlottesville because of “perceptions” related
to recent decisions by the City or recent events (removal of statues, sanctuary city declarations or rallies
held by the KKK). No one is doubting the need to develop a way to re-frame the narrative after this
Saturday however we need to strike a careful balance between communicating to our local public during
the next four days and engaging in a marketing campaign after Saturday’s event.
Charlottesville is not the only city that has had to endure this type of an event. New Orleans, Portland
and Berkeley have all had ugly scenes of violence in recent months. And as far as I can tell they have not
suffered irreversible damage as a result. I’m confident we will survive as well and will be able to tell our
impressive story in a positive way.

Mr. Jones:
Thanks for your note. I agree 100% with what you write. However, your note is belied by the alarming
conversation we had yesterday, where Miriam attempted to block the hiring of this firm, stated that she
would not communicate with them on Saturday, stated that she would rather have a positive Daily
Progress story than a positive USA Today one (as if the two are mutually exclusive), stated that this
whole thing should somehow be Council's responsibility (though we only received talking points, after a
week's delay, last night), stated that the only message that she was prepared to off on 8/12 was about
public safety, offered no specifics about being able to pitch or develop any other stories, stated that she
is an expert on crisis communications and did not need help, and admitted that July 8 did not go well, but
offered no suggestions of what could have been done differently.
This bordered on insubordination, as it contradicted both your consent to a PR firm and Council's clear
desire for one, and was exhausting for me to deal with, as the typical response from anyone being
offered special expertise help in an unusual situation (such as when I bring in outside counsel in my
professional job, for instance), is to welcome the assistance.
And it further helped explain the remarkable passivity from our communications shop in recent weeks,
despite urgent pressing from nearly every Councilor for more proactive, creative, and energetic
communications.
I don't want to add this onto your pile, but it was really an alarming conversation. At the end, Miriam
agreed to work with the firm only on the condition that they do not contact her directly on August 12 and
that they primarily work with Councilors.
I cannot understand the defensiveness and turf consciousness, as we should be all in this together, and
as a city of 50,000 people clearly does not (nor should have) the staffing to handle two international-
media scrums in less than 2 months. While Miriam seemed to think that her communications approach
would enhance public safety, the response from the Councilors I spoke with afterward is that it will do
the opposite. See the concerning letter from the NDRA today complaining about not having received a
single word of guidance, with the event now three days away.
Again, nobody should take this personally. I would not expect Miriam to be able to do much more than
handle incoming and deal with drinking from a firehose, even with the team of PIOs she'll have. But to
actively fight back against expert help, particularly when it's desired by the governing body and assented
to by the City Manager, and when it is affordable, was both confounding and not in the best interests of
the City.
Thanks and apologies,
Mike

Stating the obvious, but Emil and Leslie, the court hearing is at 2:30 p.m. so please we should be
prepared to talk about both scenarios of winning and losing (assuming the court has announced by
then). Including City Attorney Craig Brown here as he should probably be involved in anything we say at
4:30 related to the case.

Just adding one additional note: Katie Couric will be here Thursday through Saturday for a National
Geographic documentary that will be coming out next spring on the effort to address history here. She
will be interviewing me tomorrow (Thursday) for a couple of hours. I just talked with our clerk of council
Paige, cc'd here, and she says that Ms. Couric might be interested in coming to this on Saturday and also
covering UVA's efforts. I just wanted to highlight that element as it might be of particular interest given
the University's impressive efforts with the Reflective Conversations program.

All:
This chain includes relevant parties at the City, the University, the Clergy Collective, and the Police
Department.
All, Emil Hill of Weber Shandwick is helping the City with short-term PR needs. In a conversation this
afternoon, Emil's strong suggestion is that we should do press availability on Saturday morning, perhaps
at 10 a.m. to set the stage for the press both on the City and community's efforts and to start telling our
story for beyond 8/12.
At the availability, the speakers would provide brief and direct information to the public about:
1) the Police Department's approach to balancing public safety and freedom of expression over the day
(with Chief Thomas or a deputy speaking),
3) information about UVA's "Reflective Conversations" that would be happening that afternoon (with
Louis Nelson or someone else speaking), and
4) information about the Clergy Collective's efforts (with Pastor Dr. Alvin Edwards speaking).
This would be quick, 3 minutes each, with no questions. For various reasons, Emil suggested that we
do the event at the University instead of CitySpace on the downtown mall. We should be wrapped up
by 10:30 a.m. at the latest.
Pat, Anthony, and Louis: there were initial discussions about using Robertson Hall, which I believe can
fit 190 people. But we would not need nearly that many as this would primarily be press. Please advise
on whether this or another Grounds location could be provided and any other constraints that would
maximize comfort.
Emily also suggested doing a quick conference call about this on Thursday or Friday with participants, to
get on the same page.
Thank you,
Mike

We are increasingly concerned about the Kessler press conference. We still have the support of
the VSP and our regional partners and we know the numbers will be smaller than yesterday but
we are hearing that some groups are coming to support and protest the presser. We're just not
sure of the numbers but we are preparing for a large crowd.

Dear Michael and David,
I wanted to update you on plans for the Aug. 12 alt-right rally in Charlottesville. I spoke with
the Mayor this morning and the city is consumed with safety issues, as the projections of
numbers mount for alt-right sympathizers and counter-protests. The need for a major figure of
hope and unity is greater than ever. Khizr Khan will participate, and Governor McAuliffe has
volunteered to participate. I’m told the Governor is inviting Jesse Jackson. Dr. Cornel West
will be in town Friday night as part of the Clergy Collective’s call for 1000 faith leaders to
come to Charlottesville in opposition to the alt-right.
I write in hopes that no news from you is good news, and that we might still hear that
Congressman Lewis will come to Charlottesville that Saturday. We will work with whatever
time his schedule allows. The alt-right rally will be held from 12 – 5, and a unity event could
happen before or during those hours.
I look forward to hearing from you, with hope that he will help us turn the corner on hate,

Subject: invitation to stand with us against hate
Dear Congressman Lewis,
You have already done us the immense honor of visiting Monticello and drawing on Thomas
Jefferson’s powerful aspiration for equality as well as his failure to confront and release the
nation from the abominable sin of slavery. It is at once, the best and worst of America.
I am reaching out to you today on another matter. White nationalists have targeted the city of
Charlottesville, VA for demonstrations opposing the community’s decision to remove the
1920’s statue of General Robert E. Lee. We have already endured the ignominy of the Ku Klux
Klan rally on July 8th. But a far bigger rally is planned for Aug. 12, mounted by Richard
Spencer and the Alt-right.
I write you now to ask if you could consider coming to Charlottesville on the morning of that
rally on Aug. 12, to offer a speech and stand with Mayor Mike Signer, and a coalition of
community organizations who are deeply committed to making Charlottesville among the first
cities to meet this with a resolve to turn the corner on hate in America. We are also inviting
Rev. William Barber and other key leaders to join us in Charlottesville.
If your schedule is incompatible, we understand of course, and will seek other advocates for
equality. If you could even consider it, I will put you in touch with Mayor Signer so you can
learn more about his vision to hold a press conference that morning, launching “a year of living
democracy”, drawing and building on efforts already in place at Monticello, UVA, and the
community, to illuminate the mistakes of our past and chart a future closer to Jefferson’s
immortal words in the Declaration.
With admiration,

Subject: RE: statements
Here’s mine.
Good afternoon everyone, thank you for coming out today. Chief Thomas, Mayor Signer and I will just
be making statements this afternoon but there will be plenty of information sent out to the media
and the public during the course of the next couple of days.
On May 30, Mr. Jason Kessler applied for a permit to hold a demonstration in Emancipation Park on
August 12. We have given considerable thought and attention to Mr. Kessler’s application. The size
and nature of the demonstration have evolved considerably since the time of Mr. Kessler’s
application. Based on information provided to me by law enforcement officials, the City has decided
to approve Mr. Kessler’s application for a permit to hold a demonstration on the day and at the times
requested, provided that he use McIntire Park, rather than Emancipation Park, for the demonstration.
There is no doubt that Mr. Kessler has a First Amendment right to hold a demonstration and to
express his views. Nor is there any doubt that we, as a City, have an obligation to protect those rights,
the people who seek to exercise them, and the broader community in which they do. We have
determined that we cannot do all of these things effectively if the demonstration is held in
Emancipation Park.
The City has serious concerns about ensuring the safety of the expected demonstrators in
Emancipation Park, expected counter-demonstrators and the public, and to protect against public and
private property damage, among other concerns. We believe that the proposal to move the
demonstration to McIntire Park strikes an appropriate balance between Mr. Kessler’s right to organize
a demonstration, on the one hand, and the City’s obligations to maintain public safety and protect
public and private property, on the other.
Finally, I would remind everyone who plans to participate in these demonstrations or counter-
demonstrations that you have a right to do so peacefully. You have no right to incite violence or to
compromise public safety. I urge everyone to be safe and respectful. We are proud of this
community, and we will protect it.

Dear Mike and Paige,
Here is an outline of services you might seek from a

communications firm. I am copying Joshua and Brandon in case it
is helpful to them.
From August 4, 2017 through Monday August 14, 2017:
 Provide strategic counsel, crisis communications

assistance, event/day-of and media relations support to the
Mayor and City council of Charlottesville, Virginia for the
Aug. 12 alt-right rally in Charlottesville;
 Provide recommendations and issues management around

the City's role in the events. Advise on possible op-ed or other
advance communications designed to highlight the positive
attributes of Charlottesville, the City’s determination to manage
public safety and then move beyond the current events towards
healing, unity and justice.
 Advise on and assist with managing advance and day-of

communications for possible August 12 press conference or
"unity" event featuring national and state leaders;
 Coordinate messages with community partners, as needed,
including local law enforcement, the County of Albemarle and
the University of Virginia, and local faith-based coalitions;
 Utilizing the City's social and digital media monitoring

information, provide recommendations for local media
outreach and national digital activations (including Twitter,
Reddit, etc. and redirecting audiences to social
media/sponsored ads supporting the City’s positive messages.)
 Provide post-event activity report for time billed.
We recommend Victoria Baxter and her colleague who specializes in

crisis planning, John Files. Victoria's email is
VBaxter@webershandwick.com and John is jfiles@powelltate.com.
Victoria's work phone is 202-585-2128 and her mobile is 202-262-

5065. We have worked with Victoria for nine years, and have also
benefitted from John's counsel on occasion. Sheila Tate founded PT.

Good afternoon. Our staff has given your proposal a great deal of consideration, and we are not
prepared to go forward at this time. Based on the dollar amount of your proposal, and the type of
service, I believe the City of Charlottesville would be obligated to solicit additional quotes. In addition,
our Director of Communications will be coordinating a team of up to 10 PIOs on the day of the
event. Our local and State partners have been working together for a number of weeks and it would be
very challenging to onboard new team members at this time. We are very appreciative of your interest
and we will make you aware if we are soliciting quotes for this type of service.
All the best,

Kate,
I remember that evening well and have always thought we missed, then and now, an
important opportunity to show a youngster that her government is for everybody. You have
raised a very important question. Giving the address verbally is really pointless since we let so
many out of area people speak and who knows if they are giving a true address? Once we get
past Aug 12 this will be one of a number of issues related to our present public climate that the
community will have to address.

Hello Councilors,
When my daughter was six, she wrote a letter to City Council and
was asked to read it during a meeting.
This was my first time in council chambers and I had a sick feeling
in my stomach when my daughter was asked to speak her home
address aloud on live TV.
Of course, we teach children never to give away their home
addresses! But in this case, it was required and broadcast to the
public.
I've had the exact same thought every time I've spoken or
observed others as they speak. In this crazy political time, many
are afraid, with good reason, to give away their home address.
Suggestion:
Would it be enough for people to show a license to the Clerk of
Court, who could then mark either "City" or "County?" Would
that give you the information you need? Why is this a requirement
at all?

discourse around Mr. Kessler holding his rally in Emancipation regardless/potential legal actions allow us
latitude to say something like,
“Recognizing that there is still the potential for large groups of people to be in downtown Charlottesville
in and around Emancipation Park on Saturday, August 12, the City of Charlottesville will be closing the
following streets beginning at 8:30am on Saturday morning as a precaution.”
We can also announce CAT detours and any other important safety information.
As you all know, this is stuff we need to get out yesterday/last week. I realize we have been hamstrung
and that we are in an unfamiliar position but we have got to put out some solid logistics for folks. Doing
so will go a long way to calming some nerves in the community.
Thoughts?

 What the world saw yesterday in our city is not Charlottesville. The
hatemongers who traveled from other places around the country do not
represent us. They represent a worldview that, despite their declarations, is on
the brink of extinction. Although we support free speech and assembly our
community will to voice its opposition to the hate and violence that invaded our
City yesterday.
 We mourn the loss of life in our community and pass along our condolences to
the families of - Heather Heyer, a resident of Charlottesville, who was standing
up to hate when she was mowed down in a vicious and despicable terrorist
attack. Lt. H. Jay Cullen and Trooper Berke Bates, who perished in the crash of a
Virginia State Helicopter. Our hearts are saddened by their deaths.
 Charlottesville is a wonderful and resilient City. We have had a great deal of

tragedy in recent years especially for a community of our size, but yet we
continue to grow and prosper. Our City will rebound from this terrible day in
our history. I know we will be stronger because we will come together. We will
continue to send a strong message against the hate we experienced yesterday
and we will celebrate our diversity.
There have been a number of questions criticizing the police for moving too slowly in
responding to the fights that broke out. Here are a few points to consider. The first one
is quote Chief Thomas gave to the New York Times on Saturday night.
“Law Enforcement did respond to and break up various fights in and around
Emancipation Park prior to the unlawful assembly declaration. Once the unlawful
assembly was declared, we gave people sufficient opportunity to disperse. When
circumstances warranted, our officers moved back into the park to address those who
had not complied. Law Enforcement and National Guard personnel were staged
throughout the City for the remainder of the day for comprehensive response,
answering approximately 250 calls for service as well as addressing issues they observed
or were asked to assist with by the public.” – Charlottesville Chief of Police Al Thomas
Stand Down Order

There was no order to “stand down” issued at any time by any authority or at any level
yesterday.
The Charlottesville Police Department was the lead agency with support of the Virginia
State Police and our other local partners. Officers responded to numerous physical
altercations in and around the Emancipation Park and the City. Video of some of the
responses can be found on the Virginia State Police Facebook page.
Unlawful Assembly
Once the unlawful assembly was declared we had a number of groups that were abiding
by the commands and leaving the area. The police wanted to give them time to
disperse without risking arrest
Obviously we are all grieving for the loss of life in our community yesterday. It was a
tragic day for Charlottesville. Considering the sheer size of the crowd we had in
Downtown, combined with the number of weapons in and around Emancipation Park
and the tension between many of the protestors I believe our police department, along
with the Virginia State Police, managed a highly volatile situation with great
professionalism and skill. They balanced the rights of everyone involved with the
general public safety of our community under trying circumstances.
In the days and weeks ahead the City will thoroughly review our response from this
weekend in an effort to identify what we did well and areas where we can improve.

Mike, Paige
I hope you enjoyed your weekend and trust your well.
On Friday we heard word from the City's civil engineer that he believes we have broken a site code stipulation on
area disturbance that could potentially push our opening date back 6 months to a year (time frame estimated by my
team) by requiring the US Army Corp of Engineers to approve our water management plan. We specifically
engineered our construction plan to keep within the disturbance limits so this is surprising news to me.
As you will likely presume, we have already hired most of our team and are incurring the expenses to run our
operation already. Any delay in our opening will certainly put our business at risk as we have taken down bank debt
to fund part of our operation and we will certainly break covenants that will put the business in technical default
should we significantly miss plan. To put things to scale for you, our current hiring plan calls for close to 120 part
time workers to manage front and back of house operations and over half of these are already filled - many who
have given notice to current employers and would be left with out income should our opening be significantly
delayed.
Chris Engel and Jason Ness are helping us navigate the waters to identify ways to keep our opening date of the 19th
and receive inspection certs as scheduled. However, if they cannot reach a reasonable solution for us in the next 24
hours then I wanted to see if we could steal 10-15 minutes of your time to discuss our options.
Any advice or help you can offer is greatly appreciated.

Council,
Just a quick update. It was a relatively quiet night in Charlottesville. The Chief
did not have to utilize the authority you granted him to restrict assembly last
night. It is our hope that our community will remain quiet this morning and we
will be able to close down the Command Center and stand down the Emergency
Operations Center. I will let you know when that happens.
Thank you for your support in the last couple of days. The Chief and I appreciate
it greatly. More to come soon on next steps for healing in our community.

To: Jones, Maurice
Subject: Re: Update
Something like this?
Our hearts today are heavy, and our prayers are with the families of the three people
who died as a result of the violent “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville
yesterday: Heather Heyer of Charlottesville, Lt. H. Jay Cullen of Midlothian, and
Trooper Berke M.M. Bates of Quinton.
Heather was killed crossing the street when a man drove his car into a crowd on
Fourth Street between the Downtown Mall and Water Street. The two State Police
pilots were killed when the helicopter they were flying as part of the law enforcement
response to the rally crashed in Albemarle County.
This from my friend Andrea Rupert Ross: “Heather Heyer always stood up for
others all the way back in elementary school. She lost her life caring for what is right
and fighting hate.”
Across the nation, communities will be gathering tonight in solidarity with the people
of Charlottesville as we deal with the attack on our city and the devastating losses
of these three people.
I want to personally thank not only the State Police but the City and neighboring
police and other first responders who helped to keep our city safe during this terrible
time. While we are heartbroken at the loss of life and the injuries and emotional
trauma of many more, we know it could have been much worse.
Thanks, too, to all who peacefully assembled to demonstrate the beautiful diversity
and solidarity of our community.

that the University will offer on 8/12 a day of faculty-
led dialogues on topics of interest to the
community. Included on this email is Professor Nelson.
He has so far secured three library spaces and has a
couple of dozen faculty who are interested in offering
discussions on various topics between 11 a.m. and 5

development as it will provide another opportunity for a

I'm writing both to let you know about this effort and

Dear Paige and Jane,
I just got off the phone with David, and he is more than happy to join a meeting
with the City of Charlottesville and Carlos Brown of Dominion Power who is also
on the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB). The two-fold purpose of this
meeting will be to first, shed light on the importance of under-grounding utilities
to the West Main Street improvement project and second, find ways to lessen the
cost burden of doing so (which currently stands at about a third of this entire $31
million infrastructure project.)
Attendees should include: David Toscano, Carlos Brown, Kathy Galvin, Mike
Signer, Maurice Jones, Alex Ikefuna, and Elliot Rhodeside. I do not have contact
information for Mr. Brown but I suspect Alex or Chip Boyles from the TJPDC
could assist.
In preparation, it would also be helpful if City staff along with the consultant
assembled a package of relevant background material and made it available to
participants ahead of time, such as the:
-February 24, 2015 West Main Street Existing Conditions report;

-March 21, 2016 council resolution, adopting the improvement plan;
-November 21, 2016 legislative request re: under grounding utilities (see excerpt
below)
-May 15, 2017 West Main Street Plan, cost estimate and phasing plan; and
-Current Charlottesville City and Dominion Power franchise agreement.
David requested that paper copies of any background material be mailed to him.
Many thanks for helping us orchestrate this very important meeting.

In August 2016, the State Corporation Commission (SCC)
approved a pilot program for Dominion Virginia Power to
recover its costs for burying lines through billing customers.
We encourage legislators to support doubling the scope of
Dominion Virginia Power’s Pilot Program for Undergrounding
Utility lines, either by legislation or by approval of state
funding. We encourage legislators to authorize Dominion
Virginia
Power to spend up to 10% of their revenue on
undergrounding lines and to include an “open ditch”
policy allowing the burial of power lines either within or
adjacent to a public Right of Way ROW. Dominion should
be allowed to impose a surcharge on affected customers, if
undergrounding is requested by a locality to coincide with
local projects removing and replacing natural gas, water and
sewer lines within a public ROW.

Hello Elliot,
Thanks for your email. Both David Toscano and Carlos brown are coming to this project
cold. That's why a package of background info (that includes key documents like I listed on my
earlier email) is important. In fact David asked me this morning, "where is the report for this
project" so he could prepare for this meeting. He specifically requested a paper copy so he could
write notes on it.
Once Paige and Jane get a date for the meeting, I suggest that you, Alex and Carrie confer about
what key documents need to be in this package and pull it together. I recommend that it be both
in notebook form with paper copies and also in web form accessible by link to a folder labeled
specifically for this meeting so there is no confusion or lost time perusing the website. I gave
you my suggested list of key documents already, in the earlier email.
I hope this helps. Many thanks.

Subject: West Main Street Utilities Undergrounging: Meeting with Delegate David
I just got off the phone with David, and he is more than happy to join a meeting
with the City of Charlottesville and Carlos Brown of Dominion Power who is also
on the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB). The two-fold purpose of this
meeting will be to first, shed light on the importance of under-grounding utilities
to the West Main Street improvement project and second, find ways to lessen the
cost burden of doing so (which currently stands at about a third of this entire $31
million infrastructure project.)
Attendees should include: David Toscano, Carlos Brown, Kathy Galvin, Mike
Signer, Maurice Jones, Alex Ikefuna, and Elliot Rhodeside. I do not have contact
information for Mr. Brown but I suspect Alex or Chip Boyles from the TJPDC
could assist.
In preparation, it would also be helpful if City staff along with the consultant
assembled a package of relevant background material and made it available to
participants ahead of time, such as the:

-November 21, 2016 legislative request re: under grounding utilities (see excerpt
below)
David requested that paper copies of any background material be mailed to him.
Many thanks for helping us orchestrate this very important meeting.

Hello Alex,
Please let me know when you secure Mr. Brown's contact information.
In the meantime I will be reaching out to Alison DeTuncq via email, to seek her advice on how
best to make the initial contact with Mr. Brown, who is her colleague on the CTB. It may be that
a phone call or email prior to sending him an invitation to this meeting with Delegate Toscano,
would be in order.
Will keep you posted. Many thanks.

Hello Alex,
As I suggested in my email, chip Boyles should know, or chuck proctor, since this

COMMUNICATE, INFORM.
You have left everyone with no direction - AND all the vulnerable populations

Hello Leslie and Miriam,
I will be putting together a statement today. Could I run it by you both first before I post it on facebook and email it
to my constituents? I will be at church this morning, and in all honesty I am still processing the news in today's
progress and post. So it wouldn't be ready until this afternoon.
I'd also like advice on how to respond to the press. The Wall Street journal for instance, has contacted me (I gave
them a phone interview months ago with regards to the statue controversy.) I know I must respond, but it must be
done with prudence and wisdom.
So please let me know how you can help this city councilor navigate these shoals without further hurting the city we
all love. Thanks so much.

Subject: Statement from Albemarle County Regarding Events of August 12, 2017
STATEMENT FROM DIANTHA MCKEEL, CHAIR OF THE ALBEMARLE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS,
REGARDING EVENTS OF AUGUST 12, 2017
For Immediate Release
On behalf of the Albemarle Board of Supervisors and County staff, I would like to offer sincere
condolences to the family, friends and coworkers of the victims of the violence that occurred in our
community today. We are extremely distressed and dismayed by the actions of those who acted in
ignorance and hate, and we condemn those actions in the strongest of terms. We appreciate the
courage and professionalism of the many public safety officers and our own local residents and others
who stepped into frightening and chaotic situations throughout the day to offer aid and care. They
represented the true spirit of our community by acting with grace and compassion in the most trying of
circumstances. While this evening we are rightfully focused on caring for those in need and ensuring
our community’s immediate safety, we also are mindful of the need for reflection and healing in the
days to come. We urge everyone to remain alert and respectful as this weekend will continue to be a
time for vigilance in our community.

Subject: Talking Points
Mike,
Here are a few talking points to consider:
City yesterday.
perished when the Virginia State Police helicopter that was working to keep us safe
crashed. Our hearts are saddened by their deaths.
 Our City will rebound from this terrible day in our history. I know we will be stronger because
we will come together. We will send a strong message against the hate we experienced
yesterday and we will celebrate our diversity. It is an important part of the cultural fabric of
Charlottesville.
In case you receive a question criticizing the police response here is the quote we crafted for the Chief
last night:
Stats related to the crash:

1 fatality
19 injured – several are in critical condition.
Numerous other injuries associated with the violence but we do not have a final count yet.
Arrests to date but may increase:

VSP – Three
CPD – Five

City yesterday.
perished in the crash of a Virginia State Helicopter. Our hearts are saddened by their deaths.
 Charlottesville is a wonderful and resilient City. We have had a great deal of tragedy in recent
years especially for a community of our size, but yet we continue to grow and prosper. Our City
will rebound from this terrible day in our history. I know we will be stronger because we will
come together. We will continue to send a strong message against the hate we experienced
yesterday and we will celebrate our diversity.
There have been a number of questions criticizing the police for moving too slowly in responding to the
fights that broke out. Here are a few points to consider. The first one is quote Chief Thomas gave to the
New York Times on Saturday night.
Stand Down Order
There was no order to “stand down” issued at any time by any authority or at any level yesterday.
The Charlottesville Police Department was the lead agency with support of the Virginia State Police and
our other local partners. Officers responded to numerous physical altercations in and around the
Emancipation Park and the City. Video of some of the responses can be found on the Virginia State
Police Facebook page.
Unlawful Assembly
Once the unlawful assembly was declared we had a number of groups that were abiding by the
commands and leaving the area. The police wanted to give them time to disperse without risking arrest.
Obviously we are all grieving for the loss of life in our community yesterday. It was a tragic day for
Charlottesville. Considering the sheer size of the crowd we had in Downtown, combined with the
number of weapons in and around Emancipation Park and the tension between many of the protestors I
believe our police department, along with the Virginia State Police, managed a highly volatile situation
with great professionalism and skill. They balanced the rights of everyone involved with the general
public safety of our community under trying circumstances.
In the days and weeks ahead the City will thoroughly review our response from this weekend in an effort
to identify what we did well and areas where we can improve.

Subject: Update
Council,
Just a quick update. It was a relatively quiet night in Charlottesville. The Chief did not have to
utilize the authority you granted him to restrict assembly last night. It is our hope that our
community will remain quiet this morning and we will be able to close down the Command
Center and stand down the Emergency Operations Center. I will let you know when that
happens.
Thank you for your support in the last couple of days. The Chief and I appreciate it greatly. More
to come soon on next steps for healing in our community.
All the Best,

Maurice

Subject: UVA Community Unity Dialogues -- 8/12
Dear all:
I wanted to write to you, as many of the stakeholders who have been involved in both the Unity Cville
events on July 8, and in discussions about similar efforts on August 12, with an update.
As she announced today in an email to the UVA community, President Sullivan, working with Associate
Vice Provost for Outreach Louis Nelson, has decided that the University will offer on 8/12 a day of
faculty-led dialogues on topics of interest to the community. Included on this email is Professor Nelson.
He has so far secured three library spaces and has a couple of dozen faculty who are interested in
offering discussions on various topics between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Grounds. I am extremely
encouraged by this development as it will provide another opportunity for a loving and tolerant
community to transcend the hatred and intolerance that many outsiders will be bringing to our City on
August 12. I am also cc'ing here on City staff City Manager Maurice Jones, Chief of Police Al Thomas,
Communications Director Miriam Dickler, and Assistant City Manager Mike Murphy so they are apprised of
this important effort.
I'm writing both to let you know about this effort and to invite and encourage you to be in touch with
Louis with any and all ideas and offerings you might be able to provide to support as local leaders and
stakeholders. You can reach Louis at ln6n@virginia.edu. We will plan on announcing at least some of the
events in a press conference on Monday and on making more information available to the community
during the course of the week.

Subject: UVA concerns
I wanted everyone to know that I spoke at length with Pat Hogan, COO of UVA tonight. He said that UVA has such
grave concerns about the event on 8/12 in its present location that they have canceled all elective surgeries on
Thursday and Friday so that as many beds are free as possible. That strikes me as content-neutral and another factor
to consider from our largest stakeholder.

Subject: West Main Street Utilities Undergrounging: Meeting with Delegate David Toscano and
Carlos Brown of Dominion Power and CTB
Attachments: LEGISLATIVErequestCITY_nov2016.pdf
I just got off the phone with David, and he is more than happy to join a meeting with the City of
Charlottesville and Carlos Brown of Dominion Power who is also on the Commonwealth
Transportation Board (CTB). The two-fold purpose of this meeting will be to first, shed light on
the importance of under-grounding utilities to the West Main Street improvement project and
second, find ways to lessen the cost burden of doing so (which currently stands at about a third
of this entire $31 million infrastructure project.)
Attendees should include: David Toscano, Carlos Brown, Kathy Galvin, Mike Signer, Maurice
Jones, Alex Ikefuna, and Elliot Rhodeside. I do not have contact information for Mr. Brown but
I suspect Alex or Chip Boyles from the TJPDC could assist.
In preparation, it would also be helpful if City staff along with the consultant assembled a
package of relevant background material and made it available to participants ahead of time,
such as the:

-November 21, 2016 legislative request re: under grounding utilities (see excerpt below)
David requested that paper copies of any background material be mailed to him. Many thanks for
helping us orchestrate this very important meeting.

Public Service Corporations’ Use of Public Rights of Way

We oppose any legislative action that would allow telecommunications

companies or other entities the right to install new above-ground poles or
other support structures in City rights-of-way, on terms or conditions
dictated by state law.
Data shows that the impact of electrical utility line burial reduces outages
during storms, and that the value of economic and social benefits of utility
line burial is more than $2 for every dollar spent on an
undergrounding project. In August 2016, the State Corporation
Commission (SCC) approved a pilot program for Dominion Virginia Power
to recover its costs for burying lines through billing customers. We
encourage legislators to support doubling the scope of Dominion Virginia
Power’s Pilot Program for Undergrounding Utility lines, either by legislation
or by approval of state funding. We encourage legislators to authorize
Dominion Virginia
Power to spend up to 10% of their revenue on undergrounding lines and
to include an “open ditch” policy allowing the burial of power lines either
within or adjacent to a public Right of Way ROW. Dominion should

CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
Agenda Date: November 21, 2016
Action Required: Approval of Council’s Legislative Positions for 2017
Presenter: Lisa Robertson, Chief Deputy City Attorney
Staff Contacts: Lisa Robertson
Title: Thomas Jefferson Planning District Legislative Program

2017 City Council Legislative Position Statements
Background:
Each year, the localities in the Thomas Jefferson Planning District region adopt legislative statements and
positions on issues of importance and concern to local governments. These positions form the basis for local
advocacy efforts during the General Assembly session each winter. The City Attorney’s Office works in
conjunction with TJPD’s legislative liaison during the session to provide advocacy on behalf of the City’s
interests.
Additionally each year, City Council establishes a statement of legislative positions, as a means of
communicating to legislators (i) issues of concern and interest to Council, and (ii) requests, if any, for
legislative action items.
Discussion:
TJPDC Program—The TJPDC legislative program has been drafted based on discussions with and input from
the six localities in the region. The recommendations, requests and positions in the program cover a range of
issues and topics that are anticipated to become the subject of proposed legislation or the state budget during the
upcoming session, and that may be of concern to the region or to individual localities in the region.
City Position Statement—The City position statement has been drafted to reflect ongoing issues of concern and
interest specifically to Council. We try not to repeat positions that are repetitive of those advocated within the
RJPDC Program, but where City Council has a slightly different position than TJPDC as a whole, it’s
appropriate to include it within Council’s position statements.
Alignment with Council Vision Areas and Strategic Plan:

The position statements in this draft align with the City Council Vision areas and the Strategic Plan.
Community Engagement:
Generally, the preparation of these draft position statements is done collaboratively between City Council’s
Legislative Committee and the City Attorney’s Office. This year, however, one issue has been offered for
1
Council’s consideration, after being vigorously advocated by a local citizen: the proposed Legislation
authorizing Charlottesville to implement a photo speed monitoring system.
Budgetary Impact:
None
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the attached position statements, with any edits that Council may desire.
Alternatives:
None proposed

LEGISLATIVE POSITION STATEMENTS
FOR THE CHARLOTTESVILLE CITY COUNCIL
(2017 GENERAL ASSEMBLY SESSION)
Endorsement of TJPD and VML Priority Statements

As a member of the TJPD, Virginia First Cities and of the Virginia Municipal League, we are supportive of the
2017 Legislative Positions presented by those organizations. On a few issues the City’s interests may differ, and
those issues are included within our position statements following below.
Children’s Education, Services and Programs

We appreciate recent increased appropriations of state funding to support implementation by local school
divisions of extended school day/ extended school year programs, and encourage continuation of these dollars.
The State should increase funding to the Virginia Juvenile Community Crime Control Act (VJCCCA) program,
which has cut in half the number of juvenile justice commitments over the past decade.
Affordable housing
We support any legislative action that would allow localities greater flexibility in the establishment of local
housing programs, and in the use of public funding, for the promotion and establishment of affordable housing.

We oppose any legislative action that would allow telecommunications companies or other entities the right to
install new above-ground poles or other support structures in City rights-of-way, on terms or conditions dictated
by state law.
Data shows that the impact of electrical utility line burial reduces outages during storms, and that the value of
economic and social benefits of utility line burial is more than $2 for every dollar spent on an undergrounding
project. In August 2016, the State Corporation Commission (SCC) approved a pilot program for Dominion
Virginia Power to recover its costs for burying lines through billing customers. We encourage legislators to
support doubling the scope of Dominion Virginia Power’s Pilot Program for Undergrounding Utility lines,
either by legislation or by approval of state funding. We encourage legislators to authorize Dominion Virginia
Power to spend up to 10% of their revenue on undergrounding lines and to include an “open ditch” policy
allowing the burial of power lines either within or adjacent to a public Right of Way ROW. Dominion should be
allowed to impose a surcharge on affected customers, if undergrounding is requested by a locality to coincide
with local projects removing and replacing natural gas, water and sewer lines within a public ROW.
Local authority to regulate the use and development of land

We oppose any legislative action that would limit our local authority to regulate the nature and intensity of
specific uses of land, in relation to their location(s) within our city; we oppose any legislation that would single
out specific land uses for special treatment throughout the Commonwealth (such as transient lodging offered
within residential dwellings) without regard to the impact of such land uses in particular locations.
We appreciate the state’s willingness to work with localities to coordinate land use and transportation planning,
including multi-modal transportation planning. We ask legislators to provide state funding and incentives to
support localities’ acquisition, preservation and maintenance of open space.
3
Stormwater management; water quality
The City of Charlottesville asks legislators to oppose any legislation which would require a locality to waive
stormwater utility fees, or to exempt railroad companies or other entities from the requirement to pay local
Stormwater utility fees--all landowners should be required to share in the cost of stormwater utility programs.
The state should substantially increase funding for the Stormwater Local Assistance Fund (SLAF), the
program that provides matching grants to localities for stormwater management projects. The state should also
provide reliable state funding for Agriculture Best Management Practices Cost-Share programs. We ask your
support for the provision of adequate funding and training as well as an expansion of allowable stormwater
management “best practices” (including, but not limited to, the use silva cell technology to filter stormwater
runoff while sustaining street trees that would enable the State and local governments to meet total daily
maximum load (TMDL) nutrient reduction requirements, and ongoing costs associated with local stormwater
management programs that became effective in 2014). We encourage our legislators to oppose any legislation
that would result in new or expanded mandates or requirements.
Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act

The City of Charlottesville does not oppose expansion of the CBPA beyond its current tidal river boundaries.
In this regard, our position differs from TJPD’s.
Clean energy initiatives

The City of Charlottesville is committed to reducing its community-wide greenhouse emissions associated with
energy use. Increasing the availability of financial resources available to a broader range of community
members is one key to our success. We encourage our representatives to endorse legislation and funding
proposals that would support community shared solar programs.
We support legislation that would authorize localities to participate in virtual (electricity) net-metering
programs. The net metering program requirements should be amended to allow for oversizing, when a locality
can demonstrate projected growth/ use of electricity over a 5-year period. We support legislation that would
allow local governments to aggregate the electric loads of their buildings, facilities and governmental operations
for the purpose of net metering, and we request legislators to support action that would raise the net-metering
limit from 1,000 kilowatts to 2,000 kilowatts for non-residential customers.
Transportation Funding and Devolution

We urge legislators to increase state funding for the expansion and maintenance of all modes of our
transportation infrastructure, to keep pace with growing public needs and expectations. As the State continues to
implement the Smart Scale project prioritization process, adequate funding is critical for important local and
regional projects, including those that promote walking and cycling as viable modes of transportation for
commuting (not just recreation). We also encourage legislators to support the establishment of a “Smart Scale-
type” prioritization for rail and transit projects. We ask our legislators to advocate for an increase in the lane-
mileage rates for funding of local street maintenance (primary/urban funds).
Easing restrictions on obtaining restricted driver’s licenses

We encourage legislation that would allow restricted driver licenses to be issued for as long as a court deems
appropriate, and to allow courts to issue restricted licenses when necessary to facilitate the employment, or
continued employment of an individual who is otherwise subject to revocation of his or her driver license.
Public Safety
Firearms--we encourage the General Assembly to consider reasonable firearms regulations in densely
populated localities, including expanding the list of urban localities in which the state prohibits individuals from
carrying certain loaded semi-automatic rifles and pistols, and certain shotguns, in public places. In densely
4
populated areas, such as Charlottesville and the other localities already listed in this existing state statute, the
carrying of such firearms presents special risks and hazards—and the General Assembly has already
acknowledged this within 18.2-287.4. We encourage legislation allowing urban localities enhanced authority to
regulate the discharge of firearms.
Cell Phone Use While Driving--according to the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, and a 2013 study by
the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, distracted driving accounts for 10% of all fatal motor vehicle
accidents. Reaching for a phone, checking contacts, and dialing makes an accident three times more likely.
Given practical limitations of enforcing Virginia’s “no-texting-while-driving” law we ask legislators to consider
enacting a flat ban on drivers using handheld phones (exempting only the use of a GPS device which can be
monitored by police).
Procurement
We oppose any legislative action that would restrict our ability to make local procurement decisions that are
best for the citizens we serve. Any erosion of local authority to implement the policies of the Virginia Public
Procurement Act, through means tailored at the local level to assure acquisition of the best goods and services at
the most competitive rates, is contrary to fiscal responsibility objectives.
We ask legislators to continue to support any legislation that would authorize use of preferences by public
bodies for goods, services, and construction produced in the locality in which the public body is located, and
that would authorize preferences for award of contracts to persons, firms, or corporations having principal
places of business in the locality in which the procuring public body is located. We also ask you to support any
legislation that would allow localities the ability to procure goods and services by competitive negotiation, in
situations where job creation and tax base expansion would be part of a “best value” analysis of competitive
proposals.
State budget and local Revenues, generally

We encourage legislators to improve the process for evaluating local fiscal impacts of proposed legislation.
Actions that would impose additional administrative burdens on local governments without sufficient financial
resources or administrative flexibility will jeopardize the quality of services delivered at the local level, and will
ultimately jeopardize the potential success of state programs and initiatives. We oppose any shift of the cost(s)
of state programs to localities, and we oppose any legislative or budgetary action that would remove or reduce
any existing sources of local funding (e.g., HB599 funding for law enforcement; diversion of fines, fees and
forfeitures relating to violations of local ordinances; etc.). We oppose across-the-board state cuts to education
funding.
Likewise, we request our legislators to change the manner in which transportation funding is provided to
localities; localities should have flexibility to apply transportation funding in a manner that they deem most
beneficial to their own communities. Localities should have the right to determine whether allocations of state
funding should be spent for maintenance of existing streets or for new construction.
Taxing, licensing and regulating internet-based businesses and services

We oppose any state legislation that would single out any internet-based businesses and services for special
treatment for purposes of local taxation, licensing and regulation. We request our legislators to protect our local
ability to regulate businesses on a level playing field, whether they are traditional, electronic, internet-based,
virtual, or otherwise. Creating a level playing field for completion among businesses offering goods and
services is the best way to ensure safety, reliability, and fair access to goods and services for consumers. The
state should not carve out exceptions to business licensing, or local taxes, for special interest groups; in doing
5
so, state legislators would harm traditional local businesses and deprive local governments of stable and reliable
sources of revenue.
Requests to Legislators for Specific Bills
(1) Speed Cameras (suggested draft legislation, Attachment 1): We ask our legislators to sponsor a bill that
would enable certain local governments to adopt policies regarding the deployment of automated speed cameras
in school zones and residential neighborhoods at no cost to the Commonwealth of Virginia. The City of
Rockville, Maryland (comparable in size to Charlottesville, VA) implemented a photo speed monitoring system,
and that City’s data shows that the number of vehicles regularly traveling at speeds more than mph above the
posted speed limit has been reduced by 50 percent, and the number of vehicle collisions has been reduced by 35
percent. We have several residential neighborhoods, and school zones, experiencing significant traffic safety
hazards due to motorists traveling at speeds well above posted limits—at levels which enhanced enforcement
and enhanced penalties have not deterred.
(2) Contract Parking Enforcement (suggested draft legislation, Attachment 2): We ask our legislators to
sponsor a bill that would enable the City of Charlottesville to contract with an outside company to provide
parking enforcement. Contractor personnel issuing parking tickets would be required to wear a uniform while
engaged in enforcement activities. Having the ability to contract this function to an outside entity has potential
to reduce the City’s overall costs of parking enforcement, and to assure a comprehensive strategy for managing
available parking resources can be implemented.
(3) Exempt Public Greenway Trails, Paths and Sidewalks from state VSMP requirements—currently,
these public projects are subject to state regulations requiring the provision of Stormwater management
facilities (addressing water quantity and water quality technical criteria). It is the opinion of the City’s Parks and
Engineering staff that applying the VSMP technical criteria to this type of linear public project is an expense
that does not yield significant water protection benefits. In fact, the requirement to implement stormwater
measures for a trail project is more detrimental to the environment because it often requires the collection and
concentration of stormwater to a concentrated outfall as opposed to allowing it to remain in overland
flow. Installation of necessary features demands a level of clearing and land disturbance that would otherwise
not be required to establish a natural trail. Unlike development or road projects, trail projects are sometimes
located in remote areas on challenging terrain such as along rivers, through wooded areas, floodplains or on
steep slopes and there is no infrastructure to provide access for construction equipment to construct or maintain
these facilities.
A simple 10’ wide multi use trail is typically a few inches of crushed stone and sometimes topped by a couple
inches of asphalt. An upgraded design of a multiuse trail that would be able to withstand construction
equipment to maintain the facility could likely double the cost of a trail project. Sidewalks and other roadside
bicycle/ pedestrian improvements are usually squeezed in the available ROW. The requirement for SWM
measures is often challenging to fit inside existing ROW and often requires difficult negotiations with adjoining
property owners for the needed land to construct/maintain.

ATTACHMENT 1: LEGISLATION PROPOSED TO AUTHORIZE LOCAL
IMPLEMENTATION OF SPEED MONITORING SYSTEMS
§ 46.2-882. Determining speed with various devices; certificate as to accuracy of

device; arrest without warrant.
A. The speed of any motor vehicle may be determined by the use of (i) a laser speed determination device, (ii)
radar, (iii) a microcomputer device that is physically connected to an odometer cable and both measures and
records distance traveled and elapsed time to determine the average speed of a motor vehicle, or (iv) a
microcomputer device that is located aboard an airplane or helicopter and measures and records distance
traveled and elapsed time to determine the average speed of a motor vehicle being operated on highways within
the Interstate System of highways as defined in § 33.2-100, or (v) a device with one or more motor vehicle
sensors producing recorded images of motor vehicles (“speed monitoring systems”), in accordance with
§46.2-882.1. The results of such determinations shall be accepted as prima facie evidence of the speed of such
motor vehicle in any court or legal proceeding where the speed of the motor vehicle is at issue.
In any court or legal proceeding in which any question arises about the calibration or accuracy of any laser
speed determination device, radar, or microcomputer device as described in this section used to determine the
speed of any motor vehicle, a certificate, or a true copy thereof, showing the calibration or accuracy of (i) the
speedometer of any vehicle, (ii) any tuning fork employed in calibrating or testing the radar or other speed
determination device or (iii) any other method employed in calibrating or testing any laser speed determination
device, and when and by whom the calibration was made, shall be admissible as evidence of the facts therein
stated. No calibration or testing of such device shall be valid for longer than six months.
The driver of any such motor vehicle may be arrested without a warrant under this section if the arresting
officer is in uniform and displays his badge of authority and if the officer has observed the registration of the
speed of such motor vehicle by the laser speed determination device, radar, or microcomputer device as
described in this section, or has received a radio message from the officer who observed the speed of the motor
vehicle registered by the laser speed determination device, radar, or microcomputer device as described in this
section. However, in case of an arrest based on such a message, such radio message shall have been dispatched
immediately after the speed of the motor vehicle was registered and furnished the license number or other
positive identification of the vehicle and the registered speed to the arresting officer.
Neither State Police officers nor local law-enforcement officers shall use laser speed determination devices or
radar, as described herein in airplanes or helicopters for the purpose of determining the speed of motor vehicles.
State Police officers may use laser speed determination devices, radar, and/or microcomputer devices as
described in this section.
All localities may use radar and laser speed determination devices to measure speed. The Cities of Alexandria,
Charlottesville, Fairfax, Falls Church, Manassas, and Manassas Park and the Counties of Arlington, Fairfax,
7
Loudoun, and Prince William and towns within such counties may use microcomputer devices and speed
monitoring systems as described in this section.
The Division of Purchases and Supply, pursuant to § 2.2-1112, shall determine the proper equipment used to
determine the speed of motor vehicles and shall advise the respective law-enforcement officials of the same.
Police chiefs and sheriffs shall ensure that all such equipment and devices purchased on or after July 1, 1986,
meet or exceed the standards established by the Division.
§ 46.2-882.1. Determining speed with speed monitoring systems

(a) For the purposes of §46.2-882 and this section, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
(1) “speed monitoring system” means a device with one or more motor vehicle sensors producing
recorded images of motor vehicles traveling at speeds at least 10 miles per hour above the posted speed
limit.
(2) “Recorded image” means an image recorded by a speed monitoring system:

(i) On a photograph, a microphotograph, an electronic image, a videotape, or any other medium;
and
(ii) Showing:
A. The rear of a motor vehicle;
B. At least two time–stamped images of the motor vehicle that include the same stationary
object near the motor vehicle; and
C. On at least one image or portion of tape, a clear and legible identification of the entire
license registration plate number of the motor vehicle.
(3) “Erroneous violation” means a potential violation submitted by a speed monitoring system contractor
for review by a locality that is apparently inaccurate based on a technical variable that is under the
control of the contractor. Erroneous violation includes a potential violation based on:
(i) A recorded image of a registration plate that does not match the registration plate issued
for the motor vehicle in the recorded image;
(ii) A recorded image that shows a stopped vehicle or no progression;
(iii) An incorrectly measured speed for a motor vehicle;
(iv) A measured speed of a motor vehicle that is below the threshold speed that would subject
the owner to a civil citation under this section;
(v) A recorded image that was taken outside of the hours and days that speed monitoring
systems are authorized for use in school zones; and
(vi) A recorded image that was taken by a speed monitoring system with an expired calibration
certificate.
(b) A speed monitoring system may not be used in a locality under §46.2-882(B), unless its use is
authorized by the governing body by ordinance enacted after notice and a public hearing.
(c) Speed monitoring systems may be used only in the following areas:
(1) School crossings;,

8
(2) Highway work zones;
(3) Residence districts,
Any violation for which a citation is issued as a result of a speed monitoring system shall be considered a
traffic violation.
(d) An ordinance adopted by the governing body of a locality shall provide that, if the locality moves or
places a speed monitoring system to or at a location where a speed monitoring system had not previously
been moved or placed, the locality may not issue a citation for a violation recorded by that speed
monitoring system:
(1) Until signage is installed in accordance with subparagraph (vii) of this paragraph; and
(2) For at least the first 15 calendar days after the signage is installed.
Before activating a speed monitoring system at any location, a locality shall publish notice of the location
of the speed monitoring system on its website and in a newspaper of general circulation within the
locality.

who received the citation requests review before the deadline for contesting liability under this
section.
(2) If the local designee determines that the citation is an erroneous violation, the local designee shall
void the citation. A local designee may not determine that a citation is an erroneous violation
based solely on the dismissal of the citation by a court.
(3) If the local designee determines that a person did not receive notice of a citation issued under this
section due to an administrative error, the local designee may resend the citation or void the
citation.
(4) On receipt of a written question or concern from a person, the local designee shall provide a
written answer or response to the person within a reasonable time.

certificate to the speed monitoring system operator on completion of the training. The certificate
of training shall be admitted as evidence in any court proceeding for a violation of this section.
(2) Fill out and sign a daily set–up log for a speed monitoring system that: states that the speed
monitoring system operator successfully performed or reviewed and evaluated the manufacturer–
specified daily self–test of the speed monitoring system prior to producing a recorded image. This
9
log shall be kept on file and shall be admissible as evidence in any court proceeding in which a
citation is contested.
(g) A speed monitoring system shall undergo an annual calibration check performed by an independent
calibration laboratory that is selected by the locality and unaffiliated with the manufacturer or the speed
monitoring system. The independent calibration laboratory shall issue a signed certificate of calibration
after the annual calibration check that: Shall be kept on file; and shall be admitted as evidence in any
court proceeding for a violation of motor vehicle speed limits.
(h) Proof of a violation shall be evidenced by information obtained from the speed monitoring system
referenced in subsection (a). A certificate, sworn to or affirmed by the locality’s system operator, or a
copy of such a certificate provided pursuant to Va. Code §8.01-XX, that is based on inspection of
photographs, microphotographs, videotapes, or other recorded images or electronic data produced by the
photo-monitoring system shall be prima facie evidence of the facts contained therein. Any photographs,
microphotographs, videotape, or other recorded images or electronic data evidencing such a violation
shall be available for inspection in any proceeding to adjudicate the liability for such violation under this
section. A citation issued under this section, which describes a vehicle that, on the basis of a certificate
referenced in this paragraph, is alleged to have been operated in violation of posted speed limits shall be
prima facie evidence that such vehicle was operated in violation of such posted speed limits.
(i) Any contract with for procurement of a speed monitoring system by a locality shall include the
following provisions:
(1) The contractor shall provide a representative to review inquiries from a local designee, and shall
assist the local designee in determining whether a violation is an erroneous violation, within 48
hours of receiving such request;
(2) The contractor’s fee may not be contingent on a per–ticket basis on the number of citations issued
or paid;
(3) If more than 5% of the violations in a calendar year are erroneous violations, then the contractor
shall be subject to liquidated damages for each erroneous violation equal to at least 50% of the
fine amount for the erroneous violation, plus reimbursements, if any, paid by the local
jurisdiction; and
(4) The locality may terminate a contract with a contractor if (i) erroneous violations exceed a
threshold specified in the contract; or (ii) contractor repeatedly fails or refuses to meet the 48-
hour response time for investigating a possible erroneous violation.
(j) Unless the driver of the motor vehicle received a citation or summons issued in person by a police
officer at the time of the violation, the owner or the driver of a motor vehicle, shall be subject to a civil
penalty if the motor vehicle is recorded by a speed monitoring system while being operated in violation of
a posted speed limit. No civil penalty shall exceed $50.
(k) The locality and its General District Court shall prescribe a uniform citation form that includes:
name and address of the registered owner of the vehicle; license registration number of the motor vehicle
involved in the violation; the violation charged; the location where the violation occurred; the date and
time of the violation; a copy of the recorded image; the amount of the civil penalty imposed and the date
by which the civil penalty should be paid; information advising the manner and time period in which
liability as alleged in the citation may be contested in the local general district court, and advising that
failure to either pay the civil penalty or to timely contest liability is an admission of liability.
10
(l) A locality shall mail a citation to the registered owner of a vehicle, at the address specified on the
registration. The locality shall not mail a citation to a person other than the registered owner of a motor
vehicle, except when:
(1) the registered owner is a vehicle rental or leasing company, or

(2) the registered owner submits to the local designee an affidavit made by the registered owner,
providing the name and address of the vehicle operator at the time of the violation, which affidavit
shall constitute prima facie evidence that the person named in the affidavit was operating the

ATTACHMENT 2: PROPOSED LEGISLATION TO AUTHORIZE
CHARLOTTESVILLE AND COMPARABLY SIZED CITIES TO CONTRACT
FOR PARKING ENFORCEMENT
§ 46.2-1220. Parking, stopping, and standing regulations in counties, cities, or

towns; parking meters; presumption as to violation of ordinances; penalty.
The governing body of any county, city, or town may by ordinance provide for the regulation of parking,
stopping, and standing of vehicles within its limits, including, but not limited to, the regulation of any vehicle
blocking access to and preventing use of curb ramps, fire hydrants, and mailboxes on public or private property.
Such ordinances may also include the installation and maintenance of parking meters. The ordinance may
require the deposit of a coin of a prescribed denomination, determine the length of time a vehicle may be
parked, and designate a department, official, or employee of the local government to administer the provisions
of the ordinance. The ordinance may delegate to that department, official, or employee the authority to make
and enforce any additional regulations concerning parking that may be required, including, but not limited to,
penalties for violations, deadlines for the payment of fines, and late payment penalties for fines not paid when
due. In a city having a population of at least 90,000 40,000, the ordinance may also provide that a
summons or parking ticket for the violation of the ordinance or regulations may be issued by law-enforcement
officers, other uniformed city employees, or by uniformed personnel serving under contract with the city.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, the governing bodies of Augusta, Bath, and
Rockingham Counties may by ordinance provide for the regulation of parking, stopping, and standing of
vehicles within their limits, but no such ordinance shall authorize or provide for the installation and
maintenance of parking meters.
No ordinance adopted under the provisions of this section shall prohibit the parking of two motorcycles in
single parking spaces designated, marked, and sized for four-wheel vehicles. The governing body of any
county, city, or town may, by ordinance, permit the parking of three or more motorcycles in single parking
spaces designated, marked, and sized for four-wheel vehicles.
If any ordinance regulates parking on an interstate highway or any arterial highway or any extension of an
arterial highway, it shall be subject to the approval of the Commissioner of Highways.
In any prosecution charging a violation of the ordinance or regulation, proof that the vehicle described in the
complaint, summons, parking ticket citation, or warrant was parked in violation of the ordinance or regulation,
together with proof that the defendant was at the time the registered owner of the vehicle, as required by
Chapter 6 (§ 46.2-600 et seq.) of this title, shall constitute in evidence a prima facie presumption that the
registered owner of the vehicle was the person who committed the violation. Violators of local ordinances
adopted by Chesterfield County or James City County pursuant to this section shall be subject to a civil penalty
not to exceed $75, the proceeds from which shall be paid into the locality's general fund.

CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
Agenda Date: November 21, 2016
Action Required: Approval of Council’s Legislative Positions for 2017
Presenter: Lisa Robertson, Chief Deputy City Attorney
Staff Contacts: Lisa Robertson
Title: Thomas Jefferson Planning District Legislative Program

2017 City Council Legislative Position Statements
Background:
Each year, the localities in the Thomas Jefferson Planning District region adopt legislative statements and
positions on issues of importance and concern to local governments. These positions form the basis for local
advocacy efforts during the General Assembly session each winter. The City Attorney’s Office works in
conjunction with TJPD’s legislative liaison during the session to provide advocacy on behalf of the City’s
interests.
Additionally each year, City Council establishes a statement of legislative positions, as a means of
communicating to legislators (i) issues of concern and interest to Council, and (ii) requests, if any, for
legislative action items.
Discussion:
TJPDC Program—The TJPDC legislative program has been drafted based on discussions with and input from
the six localities in the region. The recommendations, requests and positions in the program cover a range of
issues and topics that are anticipated to become the subject of proposed legislation or the state budget during the
upcoming session, and that may be of concern to the region or to individual localities in the region.
City Position Statement—The City position statement has been drafted to reflect ongoing issues of concern and
interest specifically to Council. We try not to repeat positions that are repetitive of those advocated within the
RJPDC Program, but where City Council has a slightly different position than TJPDC as a whole, it’s
appropriate to include it within Council’s position statements.
Alignment with Council Vision Areas and Strategic Plan:

The position statements in this draft align with the City Council Vision areas and the Strategic Plan.
Community Engagement:
Generally, the preparation of these draft position statements is done collaboratively between City Council’s
Legislative Committee and the City Attorney’s Office. This year, however, one issue has been offered for
1
Council’s consideration, after being vigorously advocated by a local citizen: the proposed Legislation
authorizing Charlottesville to implement a photo speed monitoring system.
Budgetary Impact:
None
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the attached position statements, with any edits that Council may desire.
Alternatives:
None proposed
Attachments:
Draft City Council Legislative Position Statements
Attachment 1: Proposed Legislation for Speed Monitoring System
Attachment 2: Proposed Legislation for Contracted Parking Enforcement
Attachment 3: Proposed Legislation for to Exempt City Trail and Sidewalk Projects from VSMP

LEGISLATIVE POSITION STATEMENTS
FOR THE CHARLOTTESVILLE CITY COUNCIL
(2017 GENERAL ASSEMBLY SESSION)
Endorsement of TJPD and VML Priority Statements

As a member of the TJPD, Virginia First Cities and of the Virginia Municipal League, we are supportive of the
2017 Legislative Positions presented by those organizations. On a few issues the City’s interests may differ, and
those issues are included within our position statements following below.
Children’s Education, Services and Programs

We appreciate recent increased appropriations of state funding to support implementation by local school
divisions of extended school day/ extended school year programs, and encourage continuation of these dollars.
The State should increase funding to the Virginia Juvenile Community Crime Control Act (VJCCCA) program,
which has cut in half the number of juvenile justice commitments over the past decade.
Affordable housing
We support any legislative action that would allow localities greater flexibility in the establishment of local
housing programs, and in the use of public funding, for the promotion and establishment of affordable housing.

We oppose any legislative action that would allow telecommunications companies or other entities the right to
install new above-ground poles or other support structures in City rights-of-way, on terms or conditions dictated
by state law.
Data shows that the impact of electrical utility line burial reduces outages during storms, and that the value of
economic and social benefits of utility line burial is more than $2 for every dollar spent on an undergrounding
project. In August 2016, the State Corporation Commission (SCC) approved a pilot program for Dominion
Virginia Power to recover its costs for burying lines through billing customers. We encourage legislators to
support doubling the scope of Dominion Virginia Power’s Pilot Program for Undergrounding Utility lines,
either by legislation or by approval of state funding. We encourage legislators to authorize Dominion Virginia
Power to spend up to 10% of their revenue on undergrounding lines and to include an “open ditch” policy
allowing the burial of power lines either within or adjacent to a public Right of Way ROW. Dominion should be
allowed to impose a surcharge on affected customers, if undergrounding is requested by a locality to coincide
with local projects removing and replacing natural gas, water and sewer lines within a public ROW.
Local authority to regulate the use and development of land

We oppose any legislative action that would limit our local authority to regulate the nature and intensity of
specific uses of land, in relation to their location(s) within our city; we oppose any legislation that would single
out specific land uses for special treatment throughout the Commonwealth (such as transient lodging offered
within residential dwellings) without regard to the impact of such land uses in particular locations.
We appreciate the state’s willingness to work with localities to coordinate land use and transportation planning,
including multi-modal transportation planning. We ask legislators to provide state funding and incentives to
support localities’ acquisition, preservation and maintenance of open space.
3
Stormwater management; water quality
The City of Charlottesville asks legislators to oppose any legislation which would require a locality to waive
stormwater utility fees, or to exempt railroad companies or other entities from the requirement to pay local
Stormwater utility fees--all landowners should be required to share in the cost of stormwater utility programs.
The state should substantially increase funding for the Stormwater Local Assistance Fund (SLAF), the
program that provides matching grants to localities for stormwater management projects. The state should also
provide reliable state funding for Agriculture Best Management Practices Cost-Share programs. We ask your
support for the provision of adequate funding and training as well as an expansion of allowable stormwater
management “best practices” (including, but not limited to, the use silva cell technology to filter stormwater
runoff while sustaining street trees that would enable the State and local governments to meet total daily
maximum load (TMDL) nutrient reduction requirements, and ongoing costs associated with local stormwater
management programs that became effective in 2014). We encourage our legislators to oppose any legislation
that would result in new or expanded mandates or requirements.
Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act

The City of Charlottesville does not oppose expansion of the CBPA beyond its current tidal river boundaries.
In this regard, our position differs from TJPD’s.
Clean energy initiatives

The City of Charlottesville is committed to reducing its community-wide greenhouse emissions associated with
energy use. Increasing the availability of financial resources available to a broader range of community
members is one key to our success. We encourage our representatives to endorse legislation and funding
proposals that would support community shared solar programs.
We support legislation that would authorize localities to participate in virtual (electricity) net-metering
programs. The net metering program requirements should be amended to allow for oversizing, when a locality
can demonstrate projected growth/ use of electricity over a 5-year period. We support legislation that would
allow local governments to aggregate the electric loads of their buildings, facilities and governmental operations
for the purpose of net metering, and we request legislators to support action that would raise the net-metering
limit from 1,000 kilowatts to 2,000 kilowatts for non-residential customers.
Transportation Funding and Devolution

We urge legislators to increase state funding for the expansion and maintenance of all modes of our
transportation infrastructure, to keep pace with growing public needs and expectations. As the State continues to
implement the Smart Scale project prioritization process, adequate funding is critical for important local and
regional projects, including those that promote walking and cycling as viable modes of transportation for
commuting (not just recreation). We also encourage legislators to support the establishment of a “Smart Scale-
type” prioritization for rail and transit projects. We ask our legislators to advocate for an increase in the lane-
mileage rates for funding of local street maintenance (primary/urban funds).
Easing restrictions on obtaining restricted driver’s licenses

We encourage legislation that would allow restricted driver licenses to be issued for as long as a court deems
appropriate, and to allow courts to issue restricted licenses when necessary to facilitate the employment, or
continued employment of an individual who is otherwise subject to revocation of his or her driver license.
Public Safety
Firearms--we encourage the General Assembly to consider reasonable firearms regulations in densely
populated localities, including expanding the list of urban localities in which the state prohibits individuals from
carrying certain loaded semi-automatic rifles and pistols, and certain shotguns, in public places. In densely
4
populated areas, such as Charlottesville and the other localities already listed in this existing state statute, the
carrying of such firearms presents special risks and hazards—and the General Assembly has already
acknowledged this within 18.2-287.4. We encourage legislation allowing urban localities enhanced authority to
regulate the discharge of firearms.
Cell Phone Use While Driving--according to the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, and a 2013 study by
the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, distracted driving accounts for 10% of all fatal motor vehicle
accidents. Reaching for a phone, checking contacts, and dialing makes an accident three times more likely.
Given practical limitations of enforcing Virginia’s “no-texting-while-driving” law we ask legislators to consider
enacting a flat ban on drivers using handheld phones (exempting only the use of a GPS device which can be
monitored by police).
Procurement
We oppose any legislative action that would restrict our ability to make local procurement decisions that are
best for the citizens we serve. Any erosion of local authority to implement the policies of the Virginia Public
Procurement Act, through means tailored at the local level to assure acquisition of the best goods and services at
the most competitive rates, is contrary to fiscal responsibility objectives.
We ask legislators to continue to support any legislation that would authorize use of preferences by public
bodies for goods, services, and construction produced in the locality in which the public body is located, and
that would authorize preferences for award of contracts to persons, firms, or corporations having principal
places of business in the locality in which the procuring public body is located. We also ask you to support any
legislation that would allow localities the ability to procure goods and services by competitive negotiation, in
situations where job creation and tax base expansion would be part of a “best value” analysis of competitive
proposals.
State budget and local Revenues, generally

We encourage legislators to improve the process for evaluating local fiscal impacts of proposed legislation.
Actions that would impose additional administrative burdens on local governments without sufficient financial
resources or administrative flexibility will jeopardize the quality of services delivered at the local level, and will
ultimately jeopardize the potential success of state programs and initiatives. We oppose any shift of the cost(s)
of state programs to localities, and we oppose any legislative or budgetary action that would remove or reduce
any existing sources of local funding (e.g., HB599 funding for law enforcement; diversion of fines, fees and
forfeitures relating to violations of local ordinances; etc.). We oppose across-the-board state cuts to education
funding.
Likewise, we request our legislators to change the manner in which transportation funding is provided to
localities; localities should have flexibility to apply transportation funding in a manner that they deem most
beneficial to their own communities. Localities should have the right to determine whether allocations of state
funding should be spent for maintenance of existing streets or for new construction.
Taxing, licensing and regulating internet-based businesses and services

We oppose any state legislation that would single out any internet-based businesses and services for special
treatment for purposes of local taxation, licensing and regulation. We request our legislators to protect our local
ability to regulate businesses on a level playing field, whether they are traditional, electronic, internet-based,
virtual, or otherwise. Creating a level playing field for completion among businesses offering goods and
services is the best way to ensure safety, reliability, and fair access to goods and services for consumers. The
state should not carve out exceptions to business licensing, or local taxes, for special interest groups; in doing
5
so, state legislators would harm traditional local businesses and deprive local governments of stable and reliable
sources of revenue.
Requests to Legislators for Specific Bills
(1) Speed Cameras (suggested draft legislation, Attachment 1): We ask our legislators to sponsor a bill that
would enable certain local governments to adopt policies regarding the deployment of automated speed cameras
in school zones and residential neighborhoods at no cost to the Commonwealth of Virginia. The City of
Rockville, Maryland (comparable in size to Charlottesville, VA) implemented a photo speed monitoring system,
and that City’s data shows that the number of vehicles regularly traveling at speeds more than mph above the
posted speed limit has been reduced by 50 percent, and the number of vehicle collisions has been reduced by 35
percent. We have several residential neighborhoods, and school zones, experiencing significant traffic safety
hazards due to motorists traveling at speeds well above posted limits—at levels which enhanced enforcement
and enhanced penalties have not deterred.
(2) Contract Parking Enforcement (suggested draft legislation, Attachment 2): We ask our legislators to
sponsor a bill that would enable the City of Charlottesville to contract with an outside company to provide
parking enforcement. Contractor personnel issuing parking tickets would be required to wear a uniform while
engaged in enforcement activities. Having the ability to contract this function to an outside entity has potential
to reduce the City’s overall costs of parking enforcement, and to assure a comprehensive strategy for managing
available parking resources can be implemented.
(3) Exempt Public Greenway Trails, Paths and Sidewalks from state VSMP requirements—currently,
these public projects are subject to state regulations requiring the provision of Stormwater management
facilities (addressing water quantity and water quality technical criteria). It is the opinion of the City’s Parks and
Engineering staff that applying the VSMP technical criteria to this type of linear public project is an expense
that does not yield significant water protection benefits. In fact, the requirement to implement stormwater
measures for a trail project is more detrimental to the environment because it often requires the collection and
concentration of stormwater to a concentrated outfall as opposed to allowing it to remain in overland
flow. Installation of necessary features demands a level of clearing and land disturbance that would otherwise
not be required to establish a natural trail. Unlike development or road projects, trail projects are sometimes
located in remote areas on challenging terrain such as along rivers, through wooded areas, floodplains or on
steep slopes and there is no infrastructure to provide access for construction equipment to construct or maintain
these facilities.
A simple 10’ wide multi use trail is typically a few inches of crushed stone and sometimes topped by a couple
inches of asphalt. An upgraded design of a multiuse trail that would be able to withstand construction
equipment to maintain the facility could likely double the cost of a trail project. Sidewalks and other roadside
bicycle/ pedestrian improvements are usually squeezed in the available ROW. The requirement for SWM
measures is often challenging to fit inside existing ROW and often requires difficult negotiations with adjoining
property owners for the needed land to construct/maintain.

ATTACHMENT 1: LEGISLATION PROPOSED TO AUTHORIZE LOCAL
IMPLEMENTATION OF SPEED MONITORING SYSTEMS
§ 46.2-882. Determining speed with various devices; certificate as to accuracy of

device; arrest without warrant.
A. The speed of any motor vehicle may be determined by the use of (i) a laser speed determination device, (ii)
radar, (iii) a microcomputer device that is physically connected to an odometer cable and both measures and
records distance traveled and elapsed time to determine the average speed of a motor vehicle, or (iv) a
microcomputer device that is located aboard an airplane or helicopter and measures and records distance
traveled and elapsed time to determine the average speed of a motor vehicle being operated on highways within
the Interstate System of highways as defined in § 33.2-100, or (v) a device with one or more motor vehicle
sensors producing recorded images of motor vehicles (“speed monitoring systems”), in accordance with
§46.2-882.1. The results of such determinations shall be accepted as prima facie evidence of the speed of such
motor vehicle in any court or legal proceeding where the speed of the motor vehicle is at issue.
In any court or legal proceeding in which any question arises about the calibration or accuracy of any laser
speed determination device, radar, or microcomputer device as described in this section used to determine the
speed of any motor vehicle, a certificate, or a true copy thereof, showing the calibration or accuracy of (i) the
speedometer of any vehicle, (ii) any tuning fork employed in calibrating or testing the radar or other speed
determination device or (iii) any other method employed in calibrating or testing any laser speed determination
device, and when and by whom the calibration was made, shall be admissible as evidence of the facts therein
stated. No calibration or testing of such device shall be valid for longer than six months.
The driver of any such motor vehicle may be arrested without a warrant under this section if the arresting
officer is in uniform and displays his badge of authority and if the officer has observed the registration of the
speed of such motor vehicle by the laser speed determination device, radar, or microcomputer device as
described in this section, or has received a radio message from the officer who observed the speed of the motor
vehicle registered by the laser speed determination device, radar, or microcomputer device as described in this
section. However, in case of an arrest based on such a message, such radio message shall have been dispatched
immediately after the speed of the motor vehicle was registered and furnished the license number or other
positive identification of the vehicle and the registered speed to the arresting officer.
Neither State Police officers nor local law-enforcement officers shall use laser speed determination devices or
radar, as described herein in airplanes or helicopters for the purpose of determining the speed of motor vehicles.
State Police officers may use laser speed determination devices, radar, and/or microcomputer devices as
described in this section.
All localities may use radar and laser speed determination devices to measure speed. The Cities of Alexandria,
Charlottesville, Fairfax, Falls Church, Manassas, and Manassas Park and the Counties of Arlington, Fairfax,
7
Loudoun, and Prince William and towns within such counties may use microcomputer devices and speed
monitoring systems as described in this section.
The Division of Purchases and Supply, pursuant to § 2.2-1112, shall determine the proper equipment used to
determine the speed of motor vehicles and shall advise the respective law-enforcement officials of the same.
Police chiefs and sheriffs shall ensure that all such equipment and devices purchased on or after July 1, 1986,
meet or exceed the standards established by the Division.
§ 46.2-882.1. Determining speed with speed monitoring systems

(a) For the purposes of §46.2-882 and this section, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
(1) “speed monitoring system” means a device with one or more motor vehicle sensors producing
recorded images of motor vehicles traveling at speeds at least 10 miles per hour above the posted speed
limit.
(2) “Recorded image” means an image recorded by a speed monitoring system:

(i) On a photograph, a microphotograph, an electronic image, a videotape, or any other medium;
and
(ii) Showing:
A. The rear of a motor vehicle;
B. At least two time–stamped images of the motor vehicle that include the same stationary
object near the motor vehicle; and
C. On at least one image or portion of tape, a clear and legible identification of the entire
license registration plate number of the motor vehicle.
(3) “Erroneous violation” means a potential violation submitted by a speed monitoring system contractor
for review by a locality that is apparently inaccurate based on a technical variable that is under the
control of the contractor. Erroneous violation includes a potential violation based on:
(i) A recorded image of a registration plate that does not match the registration plate issued
for the motor vehicle in the recorded image;
(ii) A recorded image that shows a stopped vehicle or no progression;
(iii) An incorrectly measured speed for a motor vehicle;
(iv) A measured speed of a motor vehicle that is below the threshold speed that would subject
the owner to a civil citation under this section;
(v) A recorded image that was taken outside of the hours and days that speed monitoring
systems are authorized for use in school zones; and
(vi) A recorded image that was taken by a speed monitoring system with an expired calibration
certificate.
(b) A speed monitoring system may not be used in a locality under §46.2-882(B), unless its use is
authorized by the governing body by ordinance enacted after notice and a public hearing.
(c) Speed monitoring systems may be used only in the following areas:
(1) School crossings;,

8
(2) Highway work zones;
(3) Residence districts,
Any violation for which a citation is issued as a result of a speed monitoring system shall be considered a
traffic violation.
(d) An ordinance adopted by the governing body of a locality shall provide that, if the locality moves or
places a speed monitoring system to or at a location where a speed monitoring system had not previously
been moved or placed, the locality may not issue a citation for a violation recorded by that speed
monitoring system:
(1) Until signage is installed in accordance with subparagraph (vii) of this paragraph; and
(2) For at least the first 15 calendar days after the signage is installed.
Before activating a speed monitoring system at any location, a locality shall publish notice of the location
