notices were mailed in May, 2008. He further advised that the hearings,

had received five (5) calls from constituents who were not satisfied with
their assessment.
Mr. Wampler advised that those individuals should voice their
concerns to the Board of Equalizations at this point in time.

Thomas Finderson, Chairman of the Board of Assessors, advised that
the most common complaint heard was related to estate taxes. He
recommended that staff work in conjunction with the Isle of Wight
Extension Office and the Commissioner of Revenue to develop brochures
that could inform farmers on the strategies available that can greatly reduce
estate taxes. He advised that Bill Johnson, a local CPA, has offered to meet
with the farmers and assist them in this regard. He further recommended
new photographs be taken of the entire County and that software be
purchased capable of calculating co-effience of dispersion index of
regression.
Supervisor Bradshaw moved that staff explore the possibility of
developing information to provide financial aid for estate taxes for farmers
in the County; explore the possibility of working with the Commissioner of
the Revenue with respect to updating the photographs of the entire County;
and, explore with the Commissioner of Revenue the software to calculate the
coefficience of dispersion index of regression and report back to the Board
with recommendations. The motion was adopted by a vote of (5-0) with
Supervisors Bradshaw, Brown, Casteen, Clark and Wright voting in favor of
the motion and no Supervisors voting against the motion.
Dr. Michael W. McPherson, Superintendent of Public Schools,
advised the Board that an identified priority within the school?s budget this
year was the need to expand technology within the school system and that a
contract to accomplish such has been signed with Charter Communications.
He advised that a Voice Over IP system has been installed at Windsor High
School with four (4) other localities identified for expansion this year. He
stated that plans to install cameras in the various County school facilities
will improve the safety of the students; provide additional surveillance to the
school?s Building and Grounds personnel; and, eventually provide
surveillance capabilities to law enforcement officials with respect to
monitoring the County?s schools. He stated that he hopes that the schools
will be able to offer the County the ability to review a different phone
system for its use. He advised that this year there were a total of 33
vacancies; 12 of which have not been filled although there are applicants for
all of those positions. He advised that plans to do a survey with school
employees are underway, which will provide employees an opportunity to
provide their input with respect to performance of the school administration.
He advised that fuel costs have increased substantially creating a shortage in
the budget relative to fuel costs, but that there have been cost-effective
measures put in place to help address this shortage. He advised that the
school system is also actively pursuing additional support through grants
and received grants from International Paper and Virginia Dominion Power.
He advised that the Pruden Center was successful in receiving a $120,000
grant from the State for the 2008-2009 year.

Chairman Clark called for Regional Reports.
Supervisor Bradshaw distributed information relative to the Hampton
Roads Economic Development Alliance?s recent meeting. He reported that
a local search for an individual to replace Jones Hooks is underway, to be
followed by State and national searches, if necessary.
Supervisor Bradshaw reported that he had attended a VACo
Resolutions Committee meeting to further develop a legislative program and
that the Secretary of Transportation, Pierce Homer, had spoken on the
Governor?s transportation plan. He further reported that he, Supervisor
Wright and County Administrator Caskey had attended the Governor?s
recent Town Meeting on transportation in response to the Governor?s and
VACo?s request.
Supervisor Brown reported that the Southeastern Public Service
Authority?s operating budget for 2009 is $102,242,232, which represents a
1% increase over last year. He advised that there would be a public hearing
on the revised preliminary tipping fee schedule on June 25, 2008 at 9:30
a.m. He indicated that all of SPSA?s regional members with the exception
of the cities of Suffolk and Virginia Beach are on-board with the issue of
waste flow control. He advised that the current municipal tipping fee is
$104 per ton for the first seven (7) months and will be $80 the last five (5)
months of the fiscal year. He reported that there have been significant
changes to trailer tops with respect to litter control.
//
Chairman Clark called for Transportation Matters.
Kristen M. Mazur, County Engineer, requested that the Board award
the contract for the Isle of Wight County Transportation Plan to Michael
Baker Corporation in the amount of $99,995.
Supervisor Wright moved that the Board authorize staff to award the
contract to Michael Baker Corporation in the amount of $99,995. The
motion was adopted by a vote of (5-0) with Supervisors Bradshaw, Brown,
Casteen, Clark and Wright voting in favor of the motion and no Supervisors
voting against the motion.
Ms. Mazur, responsive to the Board?s direction at its May 1, 2008
meeting, called attention to the Isle of Wight County unpaved roads list
contained in the agenda for the Board?s discussion.
Supervisor Wright requested that Ms. Mazur research where Poor
House Road should be located in the list.
4
Supervisor Casteen recommended that a column be included on the
list indicating the number of homes being serviced with the understanding
that the list, in its current order, would not be changed.
Supervisor Bradshaw disagreed, stating that the list, in its current
form, has been in existence for over thirty (30) years and that changing it
now, in any form, would give the wrong impression to citizens.
Chairman Clark commented that while he would never vote in favor of
changing the list, he did not have a problem with Supervisor Casteen
wanting additional information.
Supervisor Casteen directed staff to provide him with a copy
containing the numbers for his personal use.
Supervisor Brown informed Ms. Mazur that the ditches on Holly Point
Way have been filled in with dirt during the recent grading of the roadway.
Supervisor Casteen moved that staff be directed to revise the Roads
List to include a column indicating the number of homes being serviced on
each road. The motion was defeated by a vote of (3-2) with Supervisors
Casteen and Clark voting in favor of the motion and Supervisors Bradshaw,
Brown and Wright voting against the motion.
Ms. Mazur, reported on a recent meeting with VDOT in which staff
was informed of VDOT?s limited funding resources. She noted that staff
needs to begin prioritizing their requests due to the continuing lack of State
funding for maintenance projects.
Supervisor Bradshaw recommended that citizens contact their
members of the General Assembly requesting that transportation problems
in the State be corrected.
Ms. Mazur advised that VDOT has requested the County to pick the
order in which the Owens Estates and Route 460 projects are be handled due
to a limited amount of drainage staff and preliminary funds.
Supervisor Bradshaw noted that the flooding of Route 460 impacts the
evacuation of Norfolk and Virginia Beach, which is a State issue and which
precedes his service on the Board.
Supervisor Brown noted that the flooding problem in Owens Estate
results in a loss of real property and was created by the State during the
banking design of Highway 10.
Mac Neblett, Residency Administrator, advised Supervisor Bradshaw
that the flooding problem on Route 460 may be solved without VDOT
having to install additional drainage facilities beneath Route 460 provided
5
that VDOT is able to widen the ditch at the point where the box culvert
comes underneath Route 460 to address obstructions downstream.
Mr. Neblett inquired if the Board wished for VDOT to continue on
with the Route 460 study or stop it and begin the study on Owens Estates.
Following discussion that VDOT is currently working on Route 460
and should be complete by the end of the summer or early fall and then
could switch over to Owens Estates, Supervisor Bradshaw moved that
VDOT be requested to move forward with the Route 460 drainage project
and follow up with Owens Estates as soon as possible. Staff and VDOT are
to provide a monthly report to the Board on the status of both projects. The
motion was adopted by a vote of (5-0) with Supervisors Bradshaw, Brown,
Casteen, Clark and Wright voting in favor of the motion and no Supervisors
voting against the motion.
Supervisor Bradshaw requested that staff remove Items 2, 3, 5 and 6
from the list, as well as Rainbow Road and Whispering Pines.
Supervisor Casteen inquired about the status of the Route 10 Bypass
widening project on Route 258/Main Street.
Mr. Neblett responded that he is reviewing whether or not safety funds
can be utilized for the right-turn lane.
Supervisor Casteen moved that staff be directed to pursue doubling the
length of the right-turn lane at the intersection of Route 10/258 and that it be
part of VDOT?s Highway Safety Improvement Program. The motion was
adopted by a vote of (4-0) with Supervisors Brown, Casteen, Clark and
Wright voting in favor of the motion; no Supervisors voting against the
motion; and, Supervisor Bradshaw absent for the vote.
Chairman Clark requested that VDOT begin to look at its intersections
with respect to allowing motorists the ability to proceed through on green
lights rather than stop signs and green turn arrows.
Supervisor Bradshaw requested that Mr. Neblett respond to Mrs.
White?s request for ditch work in Camptown.
Ed Easter requested the status of Yellow Rock Road being taken into
the State system.
Ms. Mazur advised that she will be bringing a resolution for the
Board?s consideration to request that VDOT include Yellow Rock Road into
the State system at the Board?s July 1, 2008 meeting. She advised that
following adoption of the Resolution, the County needs to donate the right-
of-way to VDOT and have it surveyed to ensure that all utilities are in place
before requesting that it be placed on the list to be paved.
6
Chairman Clark requested that Ms. Mazur return with an estimated
amount to accomplish getting the road graded and that she stay in touch
with Mr. Easter on this project.
Mr. Neblett notified the Board that construction work would begin
tomorrow (June 11, 2008) on the Route 58/Business Carrsville Highway
Bridge over the Blackwater River.
//
Chairman Clark called for Citizens Comments.
Lyle Hornbaker, resident of Cary Street in Smithfield and a
representative of the Western Tidewater Radio Association, invited the
Board to attend a Ham Radio Field Day on June 28, 2008 from 11:00 a.m.
until 5:00 p.m. on the front lawn of Boykin?s Tavern.
Elliott Cohen requested assistance from the Board regarding increased
communication with the Board of Assessors and that he be allowed
additional time to discuss particulars associated with his property with the
Board of Assessors.
Supervisor Bradshaw moved that Mr. Cohen?s comments pertaining to
adjusting the amount of time an individual has to communicate with the
Board of Assessors be further discussed under New Business. The motion
was adopted by a vote of (5-0) with Supervisors Bradshaw, Brown, Casteen,
Clark and Wright voting in favor of the motion and no Supervisors voting
against the motion.
John Springfield, Ashby Subdivision, thanked the Board for the
opportunity given to citizens to address their concerns relative to Bridge
Point Commons. He advised that staff and the developer have met twice
with residents of Ashby Subdivision to discuss their concerns and they
expect to continue to work towards a successful conclusion for all involved.
Jerianne Gardner, President of the Isle of Wight County Historical
Society, inquired how the Clerk of Circuit Court records from 1600 to 1890
will be stored in the new Courts Building and how will fire suppression be
addressed. She advised that the Historical Society pays to maintain those
records and it would like some input as to how they will be protected, if
moved to the new building. She stated that the Historical Society would like
the opportunity to digitize the records from 1600 to 1890 as they are being
affected from wear and are losing actual page numbers. She advised that the
Historical Society would like to have a cost-share agreement with the Board.
Chairman Clark moved that the Board direct staff to investigate Ms.
Gardner?s concern with the preservation of the records as it concerns the
7
transfer to the new Courthouse and that staff contact the Historical Society
(and Sharon Jones, Clerk of Circuit Court) and address the preservation and
digitation of records that are deteriorating. The motion was adopted by a
vote of (5-0) with Supervisors Bradshaw, Brown, Casteen, Clark and Wright
voting in favor of the motion and no Supervisors voting against the motion.
//
Chairman Clark called for a five-minute recess, which passed
unanimously (5-0) with Supervisors Bradshaw, Brown, Casteen, Clark and
Wright voting in favor of the motion and no Supervisors voting against the
motion.
Supervisor Bradshaw moved that the Board return to open session,
which passed unanimously (5-0) with Supervisors Bradshaw, Brown,
Casteen, Clark and Wright voting in favor of the motion and no Supervisors
voting against the motion.
//
Chairman Clark called for the County Attorney?s report.
Interim County Attorney Burton presented a request to renew the
agricultural lease for the Johnson Farm.
Supervisor Wright moved that the Board authorize the Interim County
Attorney to prepare the 2009 lease for the Johnson Farm. The motion was
adopted by a vote of (5-0) with Supervisors Bradshaw, Brown, Casteen,
Clark and Wright voting in favor of the motion and no Supervisors voting
against the motion.
Interim County Attorney Burton presented a request from Mr.
Crumpler for a permanent 50-foot right-of-way easement through the Camp
Washington property owned by the County. He stated that Mr. Harrell feels
that no compensation is justified because they are landlocked and willing to
work with the County. He advised that he has been unsuccessful in getting a
map or sketch from Mr. Crumpler, but that he understands that they have
been in touch with Supervisor Bradshaw and he is familiar with this
situation.
Chairman Clark cautioned that each time an easement is allowed on a
property, it becomes a less marketable piece of land. He stated that while he
is not opposed, he would like to see where the easement is being proposed.
Supervisor Bradshaw noted that the easement could most likely be on
the far side of the property near the convenience center as there is already an
existing path.
8
Supervisor Bradshaw requested that Interim County Attorney Burton
follow up and provide a reference map delineating the proposal.
Supervisor Wright requested that he be advised about ingress and
egress and whether or not ditches are being cut and wetlands are being
drained.
Interim County Attorney Burton will bring the matter back to the
Board with additional details regarding the property.
Interim County Attorney Burton presented a Memorandum of
Agreement to cancel the Section 8 Agreement between the Department of
Social Service and the County.
Supervisor Bradshaw moved that the Board terminate the Section 8
Memorandum of Agreement between the County and the Social Services
Board. The motion was adopted by a vote of (5-0) with Supervisors
Bradshaw, Brown, Casteen, Clark and Wright voting in favor of the motion
and no Supervisors voting against the motion.
Interim County Attorney Burton presented a three-year lease between
Franklin E. Hall and the County relative to the Health Department.
Chairman Clark moved that the Board authorize the County Attorney?s
office to present a three (3) year lease to Hallwood Enterprises, Inc. with a
ninety (90) day termination clause. The motion was adopted by a vote of (5-
0) with Supervisors Bradshaw, Brown, Casteen, Clark and Wright voting in
favor of the motion and no Supervisors voting against the motion.
Interim County Attorney Burton presented a proposed agreement
between the County and the Town of Smithfield with respect to the property
located on James and Washington Streets to be deeded to the Town by the
County for the purpose of relocating the residents living in the Pinewood
Heights Subdivision in accordance with the letter from Mayor Chapman
dated November 7, 2007 per the request of Supervisor Brown.
Supervisor Brown commented that when the issue first came up, he
spoke with the other members of the Board and inquired if they would be
willing to come to the aid of the Town. He stated that there was a $1 million
grant which required matching funds and the Board agreed that the County
would contribute $750,000 in-kind. He stated that pursuant to that, the
Board received a letter from Mayor Chapman and the Smithfield Town
Manager that the land would be used as a resource for the relocation of the
Pinewood Heights residents. He stated that the draft prepared by Interim
County Attorney Burton simply captures the language that was in the letter
from the Mayor dated November 7, 2007.
9
Supervisor Casteen commented that he has a problem with the County
telling the Town what to do.
Responsive to Chairman Clark, Interim County Attorney Burton
advised that Attorney Riddick has prepared the Deed, but that the property
has not yet been conveyed to the Town. He confirmed that the Board had
previously made a motion to authorize the conveyance of the land to the
Town, but that the Deed has not yet been executed or signed.
Supervisor Casteen commented that the Board voted to convey the land
at the Board?s January 17, 2008 meeting at which time Supervisor Bradshaw
commented that he did not think it was appropriate for the Board to be
telling the Town what to do with property located within the Town?s limits.
He stated that he was not in favor of the motion because he thought that the
Town needed additional time to address the issue that is now being
discussed. He noted that the Board had previously postponed taking any
action regarding the water changes with the Town of Windsor to ensure that
the Board was in sync with the Town?s thinking and now he needs
additional time to get the Board in sync with the Town of Smithfield.
Supervisor Brown commented that nothing is being done differently
than what was originally agreed with the Town of Smithfield and the Town
has written the Board a letter stating the same terms as evidenced in the
correspondence.
Supervisor Casteen stated according to the agreement, the Board can
sue the Town if it does not do exactly as the Board tells it to do and he has a
hard time with that.
Supervisor Brown commented that the Board is merely living up to the
intent of the letter that Mayor Chapman wrote to the Board agreeing to
accept the property on the condition that was stated.
Supervisor Casteen commented that when the Board originally took
action, it did not tell the Town of Smithfield that they had to do it. He noted
at a minimum, he would request that the Board defer this matter until he has
an opportunity to confer with the Town of Smithfield on this matter.
Chairman Clark commented that the letter written by Mayor Chapman
and the agreement did not include any reference to damages. He stated it
appears to be just a general understanding.
Interim County Attorney Burton advised that there are two (2) earlier
memos that he prepared pursuant to the Board?s direction.
Supervisor Bradshaw recalled that Wendy Dean appeared before the
Board in November, 2006 for the purpose of requesting the County to
participate in the Pinewood Heights relocation project. He recalled that the
10
Board had even called a special meeting and voted at that meeting because
the Town had a time limit on the grant. He continued that the Board
guaranteed the Town the amount of funding as either cash or in-kind and
that the Board had offered the property under discussion at that meeting. He
stated that the issue had already been discussed prior to that meeting
between staff, the former Chairman, Tom Ivy, and Supervisor Brown with
the Smithfield Town Council that the property was available and that is what
the property would be used for. He stated that the Board never received an
official acceptance from the Town of Smithfield, which is why the Board
requested that the Town provide a response and former Chairman Tom Ivy
sent two (2) letters to which the Mayor of Smithfield responded in
November, 2007.
County Administrator Caskey advised that following the meetings in
2006, the attorneys agreed that the Town of Smithfield would draft a
Memorandum of Agreement which contained wording that made reference
to the property, which was ultimately executed between the County and the
Town in March and April, 2007. He stated that several months had elapsed
and the Board was anticipating the Town to advise it whether or not the
Town wanted the property. He stated that the former Chairman, Tom Ivy,
wrote a letter in May, 2007 to the Mayor of Smithfield and the letter
contained in the agenda is a response back to the Board from the Mayor of
Smithfield.
Supervisor Bradshaw commented that the conveyance of that property
was contingent upon the property being used for the relocation of the
Pinewood Heights residents in support of the grant.
Chairman Clark stated that the Board?s intention was that the property
be used for the relocation of the Pinewood Heights residents and he hopes
that the Town will honor the Board?s intention for the relocations of those
residents; however, he is not sure that it was done in such a way that the
Town would legally be required to do that.
Supervisor Casteen stated that Mayor Chapman?s letter refers to the
property as a relocation resource.
Supervisor Brown noted that all the other requests came up after the
property was designed to the relocation of the Pinewood Heights residents.
He stated that the original intent was for that property to be dedicated for the
relocation of the Pinewood Heights residents.
Supervisor Bradshaw noted that the discussion that occurred in
January was due to the lack of action of the Smithfield Town Council. He
stated the Board threw its hands up and said let the Town do what it wants
to do, but the original intent, by motion of the Board in 2006, was for the
Pinewood Heights relocation.
11
Supervisor Casteen stated that he had no problem with the property
being a resource, but he did not agree with the County telling the Town what
they have to do. He stated that the Town of Smithfield would build some
houses on the property if at all possible.
Chairman Clark stated that it was the Board?s intent for the property to
be used for the relocation of the Pinewood Heights residents, but he is not
sure if that was sufficiently addressed in the MOU.
Interim County Attorney Burton stated that he had provided the Board
th
with copies of the two (2) memos drafted, the first dated January 29 and
th
the other dated May 8 and because of the language in the MOU, it clearly
was the intent of the Board, but it does not make it mandatory and the Town
would have the flexibility to use the land as it chooses.
Supervisor Bradshaw stated that when the Board voted in 2006, the
reason that the Board was conveying the property was for the relocation of
the Pinewood Heights residents and that was the single reason that the
Board conveyed the property to the Town.
Supervisor Casteen advised that the former Chairman Tom Ivy advised
him at a presentation in October, 2007 when the results of the design
competition was revealed that the County had extended an offer to give the
Town of Smithfield $750,000 in cash or give them the property as part of
that which would be assessed and deducted from that and the County would
then put in any difference. He stated that he told him that folks who lived in
that area were trying to pin him down about what was going to be done with
respect to Pinewood Heights and that it was an option, but not a guarantee,
that the Town had the option of just taking the money or taking the land and
some money or whatever. He stated it was a resource and an option for the
Town.
Interim County Attorney Burton noted that the original MOU was
drafted by the Town of Smithfield and presented to the Board and it was
always his position, and that was the intent, that the Board was supporting
the Town in providing money to them whether in cash or in-kind. He stated
that he did not get specific on what the Town must do, although it was the
intent.
Chairman Clark inquired how an agreement that imposes penalties
would work which was not contemplated in the original MOU.
Interim County Attorney Burton stated that he did not know that the
Town would agree, but that the Board needs to provide staff direction on
whether to go forward to present this agreement to the Town.
Chairman Clark stated that the Town has relied on the MOU and done
things in anticipation of the written agreement.
12
Responsive to an inquiry from Supervisor Wright, Ms. Walkup
advised that the Town was awarded the grant in phases; however, she is
unsure what the Town?s contractual arrangement is for the first phase. She
advised that she had served as part of the group who considered what the
offer would be for the County and that the County had offered Booker T.
Estates as the relocation resource.
Supervisor Brown stated that the award of the grant was predicated on
the Board making the money available to the Town, in-kind or cash.
Ms. Walkup commented that it was a decision of this Board as to
whether the Board wanted to offer the property as a relocation resource or
not. She stated that the Town began to focus on that piece of property and
was not interested in Booker T. Estates and then the Board?s discussion
followed whether or not the Town wanted the property and the Board
wanted the Town to respond to the Board as to its intent because the Town
did not want to move the residence outside the Town limits. She stated that
Booker T. Estates was mentioned because staff had a block grant going on at
that time and those lots could be made available immediately. She stated
that the Town was encouraged to negotiate with other private interests to
lock in on some block grant funds. She advised that the Board mentioned
that Booker T. Estates could be used as a resource, this property could be
used as a resource with the intent of it being used for the relocation of the
Pinewood Heights residents, as well as Evergreen Acres. She stated that
whatever the resource is, the County is tied to the $750,000 and staff needs
to ensure that the County gets credit for it.
Supervisor Bradshaw commented that the Board needs to find out
what the Town is doing on this project and what its intent is. He stated the
real purpose for conveying this property was to be able to move people who
are living in conditions that no one in this room would want to live in and
provide a quality of life to these individuals that is acceptable.
Supervisor Clark suggested that the matter be addressed at the next
meeting of the Intergovernmental Relations Committee.
Chairman Clark interpreted that Supervisor Brown wanted to make a
motion that the Board be authorized to send the agreement to the Town of
Smithfield.
Supervisor Brown commented that if the Interim County Attorney
feels that it needs to be revised he would be amenable.
Chairman Clark inquired if Supervisor Brown wanted to table the
matter until the Board?s next meeting and allow the Interim County Attorney
additional time to work on the agreement.
13
Supervisor Brown noted that keeping in mind the concerns that have
been voiced, is there anything that the Interim County Attorney can do to
refine the agreement any further than currently written.
Interim County Attorney Burton stated that the Board needs to find out
where the Town is and what they are willing to do.
Chairman Clark recommended that a special meeting of the
Intergovernmental Relations Committee be called to discuss the matter.
Supervisor Casteen proposed that the Board allow the Smithfield
District representative to pursue some reconciliation with the Smithfield
Town Council.
Supervisors Bradshaw and Brown advised that they were not in favor,
noting that Supervisor Casteen is already biased.
Supervisor Wright suggested that Smithfield representatives attend the
Board?s July 1, 2008 meeting to advise what the Town of Smithfield intends
to do with the property.
Supervisor Casteen commented that he would direct that the agreement
be sent to the Mayor and Mr. Stephenson and that he would deliver it to
them.
Supervisor Brown commented that they did not need to have the
agreement at this time.
Supervisor Brown moved that staff be directed to request the
Smithfield Town Manager and Mayor Chapman to attend the Board?s July 1,
2008 meeting to discuss the property at James and Washington Streets and
that they be prepared to advise the Board regarding the status of the
Pinewood Heights project. The motion was adopted by a vote of (4-1) with
Supervisors Bradshaw, Brown, Clark and Wright voting in favor of the
motion and Supervisor Casteen voting against the motion.
Interim County Attorney advised the Board that he had six (6) matters
to discuss with the Board during the Closed Meeting.
//
Chairman Clark called for the General Services report.
Kristen M. Mazur, County Engineer, briefed the Board on the status of
the Joel C. Bradshaw Fairgrounds construction project. She advised that to
date, $2.12 million has been expended and the project is 95% complete.
She advised that all storm pipes and drainage structures have been installed;
grading, rough and final, has been completed; the internal path is completed
14
and the gravel needs to be cleaned off; the bull ring has been constructed
and the road, with turn lane, has been completed except for the striping; the
poll barn has been completed; the outdoor theatre pad is in place and light
poles have been installed; hydro-seeding is complete within the fence; and,
the irrigation pond is complete. She advised that small sprinklers and the
existing well are now being used for irrigation and that beginning this week,
water from the irrigation pond will be used to allow for irrigation at other
locations. She advised that electrical work and ditch cleaning should be
completed within the next several weeks. She advised that directional
signing will be installed later this summer and hydro-seeding needs to occur
on the front field. She stated that landscaping has been determined by the
Master Gardeners and will be installed in August, 2008 so that much of the

Resolution and direct staff to forward copies of same to Governor Kaine, the
County?s General Assembly delegation and VACo:
RESOLUTION TO URGE ENACTMENT
OF A STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION SOLUTION
WHEREAS, an efficient transportation network is crucial to
sustainable economic growth in the Commonwealth, a cleaner environment
and enhanced public safety and quality of life; and,
WHEREAS, the Commonwealth faces a documented transportation
funding shortfall including a recurring and inflating road maintenance
funding shortfall resulting in the Commonwealth Transportation Board
eliminating and reducing programmed project spending totaling $1.1 billion
in the new Six-year transportation program; and,
WHEREAS, the Virginia Department of Transportation is transferring
almost $400 million in Fiscal Year 2008 from road construction funds to
support road maintenance activities; and,
WHEREAS, the eliminated and stalled project monies include
primary, urban, and secondary construction funding reductions to regions
and localities of up to 44 percent for Fiscal Year 2009; and,
WHEREAS, funding for new highway and bridge construction is
diminished as the annual road maintenance shortfall continues to escalate
and the estimate to repair the Commonwealth?s 1,700 deficient bridges
totals more than $3 billion; and,
WHEREAS, regions of economic importance to the Commonwealth,
including Hampton Roads and Northern Virginia, confront major
transportation funding challenges in addition to those shared by all other
areas of the Commonwealth; and,
WHEREAS, transferring state general funds to transportation neither
adequately supports documented and recurring transportation infrastructure
investment needs, nor serves to protect the Commonwealth?s additional core
services including public education, health care, mental health and
retardation, and public safety; and,
WHEREAS, Virginia has the nation?s seventh lowest motor vehicle
sales tax rate and the Commonwealth last enacted dedicated, new,
significant and recurring annual statewide revenues for transportation in
16
1986, including the last increase in Virginia?s modestly low gas tax rate of
17.5 cents per gallon; and,
WHEREAS, since 2006 the Commonwealth has enacted significant
reforms to improve the coordination between transportation and local land-
use planning.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT AND IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that
the Board of Supervisors of the County of Isle of Wight, Virginia calls on
the Governor of Virginia and the Virginia General Assembly during the
forthcoming transportation special session to enact a significant
transportation funding package to include dedicated, new, significant and
recurring annual revenues to address the Commonwealth?s documented
transportation infrastructure needs.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Governor of Virginia and the
Virginia General Assembly are urged to enact dedicated, new, significant
and recurring annual revenues to eliminate the road maintenance shortfall;
increase funding directed to interstate and primary highways, urban and
secondary roads, and transit projects; guard against the transfer of general
funds to transportation; and address the unique transportation needs of
specific regions of the Commonwealth including initially Hampton Roads
and Northern Virginia.
The motion was adopted by a vote of (5-0) with Supervisors
Bradshaw, Brown, Casteen, Clark and Wright voting in favor of the motion
and no Supervisors voting against the motion.

will be a sum not to exceed $6,500. He stated a Resolution of the Board of

Supervisor Bradshaw addressed the request of Elliott Cohen with
respect to the insufficient amount of time for him to address his concerns
with the Board of Assessors. He noted that staff should be scheduling
meeting times convenient to citizens; that they not always be held during the
23
day and not all at night; and, that staff should not be scheduling the Board of
Assessors to meet five (5) consecutive days in a row. He noted that it is the
responsibility of the Board of Assessors to clearly state how it arrived at an
assessment for a particular piece of property, but with respect to the Board
of Equalization, it is the responsibility of the citizen to prove that the
assessment is not equal as compared to other properties in the County.
Supervisor Casteen commented that he attended a number of
assessment hearings and found the Board of Assessors to be very
accommodating with respect to additional time being needed and set aside
for property owners that had numerous properties to be discussed.
Supervisor Bradshaw moved that staff review the communication of
the Board of Assessors for the next reassessment process regarding the
timing and scheduling of the meeting dates and the time allowed for citizens
to speak. The County should educate the Board of Assessors through the
Department of Taxation that it is responsible for the assessment and the
times can be set up by them and they can allot how much time they can meet
with the citizens. If they do not feel like they have sufficient time, the
meeting can be postponed and it can be discussed at a future meeting. The
motion was adopted by a vote of (5-0) with Supervisors Bradshaw, Brown,
Casteen, Clark and Wright voting in favor of the motion and no Supervisors
voting against the motion.

being invaded on a daily basis by vultures invading garbage cans, scratching
cars and chasing pets in that neighborhood. He inquired if there is
something that the Animal Control Department can do to assist in this
regard.
Supervisor Wright stated that vultures are currently protected by the
State and anyone found disturbing them will incur a fine.
Supervisor Bradshaw recommended that anyone with concerns should
be informing the Health Department or the Environmental Protection
Agency.
Supervisor Bradshaw moved that staff investigate how Supervisor
Brown?s concern with vultures can be addressed. The motion was adopted
by a vote of (5-0) with Supervisors Bradshaw, Brown, Casteen, Clark and
Wright voting in favor of the motion and no Supervisors voting against the
motion.
