Chairman Bradby called for a public hearing on the following
ordinances:
1. An Ordinance To Provide For Proration of Personal Pro-
perty Tax
County Attorney, H. Woodrow Crook, Jr., stated the proposed ordinance
provides for proration of personal property tax on vehicles. and mobile homes.
Mr. Crook. continued saying that when taxable property acquires a sites within
the County on or after January 2 of each year the. personal. property tax for
that year shall be assessed to the owner prorated on a monthly basis for the
portion of the tax year during which the taxable property has sites within
the County.
Commissioner of Revenue, Gerald H. Gwaltney., appeared and spoke in
opposition to the proposed ordinance saying Isle of Wight County has one of
the highest tax rates in the State of Virginia. Mr. Gwaltney continued saying
the County residents are paying all they can afford to pay on personal pro-
perty and he does not feel it is necessary to implement proration of taxes.
July 2, 1987
Page 333
Mr. Gwaltney also stated Beryl H. Perry, Jr., Treasurer, had planned to
attend the meeting and speak in opposition, however, he had. to go to the bank.
Mr. Gwaltney continued sating he had discussed the proposed ordinance with.
Spencer Elmore, the County Financial Consultant with Robinson, Farmer, Cox
Associates, and Mr. Elmore says the. County needs to study the ordinance
prior to .adoption.. Mr. Gwaltney also informed the Board. that Senator Richard
J. Holland is, opposed to the proposed ordinance. Mr. Holland would have
attended the Board :meeting,. but he had to go to a funeral. Mr. Gwaltney
stated Mr. Holland feels the taxes are high enough in the County. Mr.
Gwaltney stated in his discussion with Mr. Elmore, it was determined that if
the :ordinance was adopted it would take twelve to eighteen months to put the
system into operation.
Supervisor Bradshaw queried County Attorney Crook as to why the pro-
posed ordinance was drafted, to .which Mr. Crook replied, ".This. Board re-
quested it be added to the Statute and it was done in 1986". Mr. Crook con-
timed saying the ordinance was drawn up in April and advertised for the July
-meeting and he had discussed it with the Board. at the May meeting.
Supervisor Bradshaw stated he does not feel it is right, we are not
that desparate to try to gras~i'_ every nickel possible and we have already
.put taxes up as high as we can.
Chairman Bradby suggested the. proposed ordinance be tabled for further
study prior. to the Board taking any `action.
County Attorney Crook stared he was going to suggest if the Board was
going to adopt the proposed ordinance a stipulation be added to allow twelve
to eighteen months before it takes effect.
W. B. Owen, Assistant to the Acting County Administrator, stated the
County personnel cannot put the proposed ordinance into effect until the new
data processing system is put to work; if adopted now it cannot be put into
effect for at Least a year.
Supervisor Bailey stated $4.50 for personal property taxes is sufficient.
If you want to vote on the proposed ordinance I will vote against it, said
Supervisor Bailey.
Supervisor Ross queried County Attorney Crook, "When an ordinance is
passed does it take affect immediately ", to which Mr. Crook replied, yes
unless stated otherwise.
Supervisor Turner moved the Board table action on the proposed ordinance
until the September 3,1987 Board of Supervisors meeting in order to allow
the Board members an opportunity to study and review same. The vote in
favor was .unanimous.
2. An Ordinance To Prohibit Dogs Running At Large Within
Certain Zoned Areas Of The County of Isle of Wight
Bob Leber, resident at 19 St. Catherine Drive, Carrollton, appeared in
favor of the proposed ordinance. Mr. Leber introduced his son, Henry
Michael also. Mr. Leber sated there were three areas he would like to
cover in addressing the proposed ordinance. Mr. Leber xecapped the events
leading up to the proposed ordinance pointing out a petition containing 12.0
signatures had been presented to the Board requesting an ordinance be adopted
similar to the leash law in James City County. Secondly, Mr. Leber stated
he was espec~aJly concerned regarding the safety of residents. Mr. Leber's
~I
l
Page 334
July 2, 1987
third area involved how the proposed ordinance addresses the concerns of the
residents and protects the dog owners. Mr. Leber asked those attending the
Board meeting in favor of the ordinance to please stand. Approximately 15
people appeared in favor of the proposed ordinance.
Fisher Dashiell, a County resident who resides at the intersection of
Routes 17 and 661, appeared and stated he concurred with Mr. Leber's comments.
Mr. Dashiell continued stating there are many dogs' on his property at all
times.. He has seen the dogs nearbq cause accidents on Route 17 and he would
like to see the proposed ordinance extended to encompass Route 661. Mr.
Dashiell stated it is not safe for the residents to even walk or ride bicycles
in his area because of dogs.
Mr. Evans, a resident of Carrisbrooke, stated. his wife was dragged off
her bicycle and bitten by a dog. Mr. Evans continued saying it is pitiful
when persons cannot ride a bicycle or ..walk in their own community; you cannot
trust dogs. They will even snap at their master, said. Mr. Evans.
David Lyons, resident at the interesection of Routes 17 and 661, appeared
in favor of the proposed ordinance stating the ordinance is needed to help
control dogs running at large.
Iny Barlow, President of the Isle of Wight County Humane Society,
appeared in favor of the ordinance and said the ordinance will be beneficial.
The proposed ordinance will cut down on the number of dogs and will also cut
down on disease. Mrs. Barlow continued saying, "It is good for the dogs as
well as the people to have some kind of control".
Chairman Bradby stated he had received two letters regarding the proposed
ordinance, one. in favor and one in opposition.
Supervisor Turner stated he feels the proposed ordinance does give some
working room for the hunting season and we have to cha~g.e our ways when it
is dangerous to people and property.
Following discussion, Supervisor Turner moved the Board adopt "An
Ordinance To Prohibit Dogs Running At Large Within Certain Zoned Areas Of
The County Of Isle of Wight" with the deletion that "this does not apply in
A-1 or A-2 areas when a portion. or portions of those areas have been subdivided
into five or more contiguous lots and at least three such lots are occupied
by approved, completed dwellings". The motion passed with Supervisors Bradby,
Bailey, Ross and Turner voting aye and Supervisor Bradshaw nay.
Supervisor Turner then moved that the ordinance be effective September
1, 1987. The motion passed with Supervisors Turner, Ross, Bradby and Bailey
voting aye and Supervisor Ross nay.

The public hearing continued on the following proposed ordinances:
3. An Ordinance To Amend Chapter 8, Garbage, Weeds and Litter
Ordinance Provisions Of The Isle of Wight County Code

changes the proposed ordinance was drafted with assistance from Public Works
