Supervisor Smyth said that she has been informed by representatives of Inova that during the preparation of the final building plans for the proposed Claude Moore Health Education Center on the Inova Fairfax Hospital Campus, it was determined that an additional floor must be added to the building that the Board approved in November 2004.

79. CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD CHECKS (
On behalf of Supervisor McConnell, Supervisor Bulova said that it has been brought to Supervisor McConnell’s attention by members of the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) that criminal history record checks, once provided free through the Police Department, must now be purchased through the Virginia State Police for a fee of $15 per applicant.
Several years ago Congress provided housing agencies the authority to have access to housing applicant's criminal history records in support of its authority to deny housing benefits to those involved in certain criminal activity such as violent or drug related behavior. It also enabled agencies to determine if applicants had failed to report other related criminal behavior as required in the application. These reports have proven invaluable in detecting falsification of applications as they related to arrest and convictions.
Recently the Virginia State Police, keepers of the Virginia Criminal Information Network, has prohibited the dissemination of these records by the Police Department and has informed them that non-police requested record checks must be obtained via the non-criminal justice interface system along with other organizations, such as volunteer groups, private sector employers and foster care providers. Since HCD ran over 2,000 record checks in 2004, these fees would have exceeded $30,000 if obtained through the non-criminal justice interface.
Therefore, Supervisor Bulova asked unanimous consent that this issue be submitted to the Legislative Committee to determine if legislation is needed to exempt County agencies from such fees when requesting criminal history record checks (arrests and convictions) in performance of their duties. Without objection, it was so ordered.
