Chairman Turner called the meeting to order at 7:25 P.M. The invocat-
ion was delivered by Supervisor Bradshaw.
/~
The Chairman stated the Paul Sawyer Family and attorney were present,
along with Ronald H. Pack, Chairman of the Hampton Roads Sports Authority
and moved the agenda be amended to discuss the proposed speedway lease
agreement first. The motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Pack said the talks between the Sawyers and the Supervisors, the
first direct negotiations between the groups, came after several days of
negotiations between. the Sawyers and the Executive Board of the Regional
Sports Authority. He continued stating the City Managers and County Ad-
ministrator of jurisdictions who make up the Sports Authority will be
given their first look Wednesday at a lease agreement for the track. Mr.
Pack stated he was not at liberty to give any details of the pact which
was negotiated Monday afternoon and he doubted a copy of the lease would
ever be made public.
Edward Russell, attorney for the Paul Sawyer Family, advised the Board
members the racing promoters would like a period of several years at the
start of the contract when no payment would be made because the Sawyers
need about $7 milliongross annually to be profitable and. the two races

will bring in less than that. The Sawyers are trying to attract other races
to the facility, stated Mr, Russell. Mr, Russell continued stating his
clients are strongly opposed to the amusement tax proposed on tickets
anti if the tax-would be imposed the Sawyers were not interested. in promoting
the proposed race track.
The 70,000 seat track will be owned by the Hampton Roads Sports
Authority, and therefore, will be exempt from real estate tax, commented
Ron Pack.
Chairman Turner stated the Authority members thought the County should
be compensated and asked the Board to negotiate directly with the Sawyer
Family. The Chairman stated the Tidewater cities would benefit from money
spent by racing fans at motels and restaurants and most of Isle of Wight's
revenue would come from taxes because there are few motels and restaurants
in the County. Chairman Turner inquired of County Attorney Crook if it would
be legal to go into Executive Session to discuss compensation to be paid
the County by the Sawyers. County Attorney Crook replied it would be legal
to hold. contract negotiations in Executive Session, but not to discuss taxes.
Following discussion,. Supervisor Bradshaw moved the Board go .into
Executive Session to discuss with legal counsel and staff members the pro-
posed contracts regarding the speedway and asked that Ronald Pack. be ailawed
to attend- the Executive Session since he is Chairman of the Hampton Roads.
Sports Authority.
John Edwards, of The Times, and Steve Wingfield, of The Daily Press,
expressed objection to the closed door meeting. Mr, Wingfield asked County
Attorney, H. Woodrow Crook, Jr,, to cite the Code section and subparagraphs
to allow the Executive Session. County Attorney Crook replied Section 2,1-
344 sub-paragraphs A 2, 4, 6.
The. motion passed ..unanimously to go into Executive Session with legal
counsel to discuss contracts,. The Board went into Executive Session. at
7.:52 P.M, and returned to open session at 9:44 P.M.
Chairman Turner moved the Board adopt a concept of contract with P, W.
B. Promotions,.-Inc, so the County would be compensated .from P, W, B, Pro-
motions, Inc. on the same basis as if the facility were a privately owned
operation in the County, The vote in favor was unanimous.
//
At 9:45 P.M. Chairman Turner moved to have a ten minute recess and the
motion passed unanimously. The Board reconvened at 9:58 P.M.

Supervisor Bailey moved the following members be appointed to the com-
mittee to further study the proposed "Ordinance To Amend The Subdivision
Ordinance Of Isle of Wight. County for Interior Streets and Other Require-
merits For Lots Fronting On Arterial Roads, High. Service. Secondary Roads and
Low Service Secondary Roads": George Winslow and Francis Griffin., Planning.
Commission; Ballard Wood; Thomas L. Ross, Board of Supervisors; and Charlie
Powell, Historial Review Committee, The motion passed by unanimous vote of
the Board. Additional members will be selected at the September 4, 1986
Board meeting.
On motion of Supervisor Ross, the Board voted unanimously to retain
The Zoning Ordinance Of Tsle of Wight County Concernng'Number of Dwellings
On Land" in the present form.
Regarding the 40 hour work week, Supervisor Ross advised the Board members
the Personnel Committee had sought information from other counties and cities
in the area. about their work schedule and found the majority worked from
9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P,M, Supervisor Ross continued stating the Board has no
control over the employees of the Constitutional Officers at the Courthouse
who work 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.r1. and asking the Board's employees to work.
longer hours than those in nearby departments would create a morale problem,
Supervisor Ross further stated a major factor in the committee's recommendat-
ion is the lack of lunchroom facilities at the Courthouse Complex; it is about
10 miles to restaurants in either Smithfield or Windsor and the employees
must either take about 45 minutes to an hour for lunch out or eat at their
desks, often continuing their work chores, TJhile the committee is not
approving .the 35 to 37 hour work week, we are recommending keeping the current
schedule until there are facilities for employees to take a lunch break away
from their desks, Mr. Ross stated.
Supervisor`Bailey expressed concern stating he was not satisfied with
the committee's report; "nobody knows how many hours anyone is working. out
here. Either adjust the schedule or the pay scale". Supervisor Bailey .further.:
stated it is not up to the Supervisors to give employees a place to eat and
the workers knew what facilities were available when they were hired.
Following discussion, Supervisor Ross moved the County employees continue
to work 9:00 A,M. to 5:.00 P.M, with an hour for lunch. The motion passed with
Supervisors Ross, Turner and Bradshaw voting aye and Supervisor Bailey nay.
