Chairman Wright called-for the Public Utilities report.
E. Wayne Rountree, P.E., Assistant. County Administrator, in the
absence of Columbus Grant, III, Director of Public Utilities, presented the
issue of the Red Oaks Mobile Home Park private water system.
Barry Duval, Kaufman & Canoles Consulting, spoke representing the
177 families residing at the Red Oaks Mobile Home Park. He stated .that his
attempts over the last four (4) years to facilitate hooking the residents of the
Red Oaks Mobile Home Park to the public water system had gone well until
a year ago, when there .appeared t® be a reversal in the approach. He
distributed a copy of a report developed by the Public Utilities Director in
1444- which revealed that the Public. Utilities Department had contemplated
.acquiring and operating the Red Oaks water system. He stated that when he
rnet with the Public Utilities Director in August of 2004 to discuss how to
implement the project, the Director indicated to him that there was a policy
being contemplated by the Board, pertaining to private water systems,
especially those systems that were failing to meet health standards. He stated
:that fluoride levels are higher in the Red Oaks Mobile .Home Park than
allowed by the. Virginia Department of Health, and the goal is to provide safe
and affordable drinking water to those residents. He stated included in the
Board's-agenda is a copy of the policy which adequately addresses the
County's concern with water systems and in what situations the County may
evaluate a water system and bring it into the County's system. He advised
that he met with the County Administrator on December 21, 2004, at which
time: staff had. indicated a willingness to acquire and operate the water
systemi and advised. him that he would be receiving a response from the
County regarding its acquisition by February 15, 2005. He stated that. when
he did not hear back from staff, he again contacted staff and was told to meet
with the new Public Utilities Director. He stated following his explanation to
the .Director, he received a letter dated March 17, 2006 stating that the
County's Planning and Zoning staff discourages systems within private
.streets being owned by the County,. and that these systems are typically

served by a master meter. He stated that he has continued to work with staff
over the last' ten (10) months; however, he believes that he has now reached
an impasse. He_ informed the Board that he received a-letter from staff just
prior to this meeting advising that the County could. take in the existing
customers on the County's system, but that there would be a connection
charge of $1,000 per customer to do that, totaling $1 77,000. He stated,
properly applied, this policy would apply to new systems, new developments,
or new hook-ups in the form of a connection fee. However, he does not.
believe the policy should apply to citizens who already have health problems
and .already have water that exceeds the- fluoride: level, especially when there
is already going. to be $500,000 invested. He stated that he believes that the
County's change in direction is simply a policy :change because the County.
-does not want to own public lines in private. streets. He advised that the City
of Newport News, in its Waterworks ,policy, owns public lines in private
streets and requires that a waterworks application be filled out by developers
who give easements to the City so that it can repair the lines.
Supervisor Bradshaw recommended tabling the issue, .noting chat
Supervisors Brown and Ivy are new Board members, and the Boardwould
like additional time to discuss the matter. with staff so .that they. are. better
informed on the issue.

on the matter, although he has not had an opportunity to discuss it with
Supervisor Brown.
Supervisor -Brown welcomed the opportunity to further discuss the
matter in greater detail with staff.
Mr. Duval noted that there was no urgency on his part and that he
..would be glad to wait until the Board had an opportunity to review the matter
further.
Supervisor Bradshaw moved that the Board table the matter; allow staff
to review it and meet with Board members; and, bring the. issue back to the
Board for discussion at its April. 6, 2006 meeting.. The motion -was adopted
by a vote of (5-0) with Supervisors. Bradshaw, Brown, Clark, Ivy and Wright
.voting in favor of the motion,-and no Supervisors voting against the motion.
County Attorney Stroman requested that Mr. Duval. advise him of the
date of the most recent. letter he had received from staff just prior to this
meeting stating that the,County could take in the existing customers, but that
there would be a $1,000 per customer charge.
Mr. Duval replied. the. author of -the letter was Mr: Grant and dated
March 7, 2006.
- l3
Supervisor Ivy requested that a copy of the March, 7, 2006 letter be

in the County's. contingency account until- staff .received a response.. to the

full-time position at the Smithfield Library to a part-time position, .and the
Library Board is requesting that the Board of Supervisors restore that funding

representation on the Board is not as it should be, -and they have indicated

Reverend Harris provided clarification on statements made recently
relative to the school house museum .which were published in the local
newspapers. He advised that it is incorrect that the sole basis of soliciting
support and funding for the school house restoration was because the
structure was a Rosenwald school. He further advised that the intent of the
School House- Museum Steering Committee's original mission statement and
goals remain. as follows "to .provide for the.. development of an African
American History .Museum of public education directed towards negro
(colored) in the. Town of Smithfield-and the County of Isle of Wight." He
stated that the confusion is centered. around the mistaken identity of the
.building, and he hopes -that. the information. contained in the agenda has
addressed that. He stated that the Committee initiated the employment of
professional researchers who discovered that there were three (3) schools on
the Christian home site. He advised that Fisk .University archives suggest
that there were at least. four (4), one (1) or two (2) room structures in .the
County that received Rosenwald funding. He stated that the designation of
the bepartment of Historic Resources to distinguish a Rosenwald .school is
that if any funding is received from the Rosenwald fund, it makes them a
Rosenwald school. He advised that. in .addition to the four (4) Rosenwald
schools .that received funding in the County, there was also a shop building.
He advised that in order to receive grant funding it was necessary that the
building be a Rosenwald school. He advised that the school building under.
discussion tonight was built as a 1932 addition to the 1924 Rosenwald school
utilizing private donations from the black community and public.monies.
Supervisor Clark ensured Reverend Harris that the Board did not have
any concerns about the previous funding allocated by the Board for this ,
project. He stated that he believed that a legitimate effort was made to find.a
school-.that educated County blacks in the early part of last century.

Understanding. (1VIOU) :with the Town of .Smithfield, which was moved from

Inn in Franklin during the past year fiscal year. He stated that review of .his
files reflects that three (3) payments have been made by the Department of
Social Services to the Tidewater Inn. He stated the first payment was made
in August, 20QS and three (3) payments were made in March, 2006. He
advised that :.the three (3) families. who received assistance from the

.when they applied for assistance. He stated ail situations were determined to

else to go:
County. Attorney Stroman inquired if the assistance .provided by the
