County Attorney Crook stated the County approved a referendum for School Board members to be appointed by the Board of Supervisors rather than as previously done by a selection commission appointed by the court. Mr. Crook further stated the representative's term for the Newport District has expired and he has chosen not to seek reappointment. Mr. Crook continued a public hearing was 11e1d by the Board at their June 16, 1994 meeting and nominations were received from the floor and Board which are the only nominations that can be considered for appointment by the Board at this time. Mr. Crook further stated the Board should now, by motion, nominate and elect, by majority vote, a person from the Newport District to serve afour-year term beginning July 1, 1994. Supervisor Bradby moved the Board appoint George Alvin Bradby as the Newport District representative. Following Supervisor Bradby's motion, Chairman Spady stated he has met with all three persons nominated for the Board's consideration who all have excellent qualifications; however, he feels that he would have to support Jim Ware for the nomination. The motion passed (3-2) with Supervisors Bradby, Bradshaw and Edwards voting in favor of the motion and Supervisor Cofer and Chairman Spady voting against the motion. George Alvin Bradby thanked the Board for appointing him stating his primary objective will be to provide quality education for County LJ~ ao~x ~~ ::.:f7~3 children.

County Administrator Standish stated the lists included in the agenda are currently compensated and uncompensated boards, commissions, etc. and excludes those appointed in ex-officio capacities and reflects County residents appointed by the Board only. Mr. Standish stated the Equalization Board reflects a compensated amount of $75 which was done in error and should be listed at $50. County Attorney Crook stated the County's current policy allows for compensation at $50 per. meeting, not to exceed one meeting per month for Board of Supervisors' appointees to all commissions, boards, committees, etc. Mr. Crook stated that he believes $50 is fair compensation for the Equalization and Reassessment Boards, which in the past few years were increased to $75, but they should not be limited to one meeting per month, as they are required to meet frequently. Supervisor Bradshaw moved the Board continue the policy that all such appointees to committees, commissions and boards appointed by the Board be compensated at $50 per meeting, not to exceed one meeting per month, with the exception of the Equalization and Reassessment Boards. The motion was adopted unanimously (5-0). // Chairman Spady called for Item 3: Report on Industrial Park Project. County Administrator Standish stated commercial ventures, which fall under the category of "business" rather than industry, specifically architects, surveyors and insurance, have expressed an interest in locating in the County's Route 460 industrial. park. Mr. Standish stated the present zoning is Conditional M-1 and should the Board favorably consider a mixed use development, the matter should first be referred to the Planning Commission and then the Board to amend the zoning to allow such businesses in the .park. Chairman Spady stated Wilroy Industrial Park in Suffolk appeared to contain businesses that are not heavy industry, in addition to office buildings with small warehouses located behind the buildings. Responding to the County Administrator's question if Wilroy Industrial Park contained any "B" zoning, Lynn P. Harris, Director of Economic Development, replied no. Ms. Harris stated there are some offices attached to warehousing, however, this request is for separate entities that are apart from any manufacturing facility and would be self 2 Boos 15 ~Rcf76~ contained. Chairman Spady suggested Ms. Harris refer the requesk for zoning amendment to the Industrial Development Authority and their design consultant. Supervisor Edwards stated the Board previously represented to concerned citizens that the Route 46U industrial park would not contain heavy industry and he does not believe any of these citizens would have a concern with this type of amendment to the conditional zoning. // Chairman Spady called for Item 4: Social Services Funding.
