Town Council Work Session - Media

Town Council Discusses Traffic Calming and E-Bike Safety Measures
The Town Council discussed upcoming initiatives focused on traffic calming and speed reduction in residential neighborhoods. A public awareness campaign, tentatively named 'Drive Differently,' is planned to remind residents about the safety implications of high speeds in these areas. The Chief and Town Manager are leading the development of specific strategies, including radar logging and potential enforcement measures. Additionally, council member Clark requested staff to investigate potential interim measures for e-bike regulation, similar to those implemented in Haymarket, focusing on helmet use and safety education, due to challenges with state-level enforcement.

Town Council Reviews Grant Disbursements Amid High Demand
The Town Council received an update on the grant and donation process, noting that requests totaling over $400,000 were received for a budget of $200,000. All applicants have been notified, and a report detailing the disbursement of funds is being prepared. Previously, specific community organizations had carve-outs or received direct allocations, but the current process requires all organizations, including those requesting town services, to apply through a standardized procedure to ensure fairness and transparency. The next grant cycle is planned for January.
Town of Herndon to Transition 457B Deferred Compensation Plan to Virginia Retirement System
The Town Council discussed and agreed to move the town's 457B deferred compensation plan from the current record keeper, TRPC, to the Commonwealth of Virginia 457 plan administered by the Virginia Retirement System (VRS). This transition is expected to provide enhanced customer service, better system visibility due to integration with existing VRS benefits, and lower fees for both the town and its employees, resulting in an estimated annual saving of $30,000. The move also includes the elimination of a contract for plan document updates, further reducing costs. The transition is targeted for February 1st, with a formal communication plan for participants and a potential blackout period for fund changes. The new plan will offer target date funds, individual funds, and a brokerage window, comparable to current options but with updated investment vehicles. [cite: 4, 18-19, 28-29, 46-49, 192-195]
