Supervisor Edwards moved the Board amend the agenda in
order for Caunty Attorney Crook to discuss a proposed
regional jail facility. The vote in favor was unanimous.
(5--0).
anon 14 ~~~=362
County•Attorney Crook stated the regional jail concept
has resurfaced as a result of a change in the statute by the
General Assembly removing the cap on regional jails State
funds matching county/city funds. As you know we explored
this concept sometime ago and the City of Suffolk indicated
they wanted to proceed with their own jail, and so we had a
number of meetings with the Department of Corrections, the
City of Franklin and Southampton County concerning a
regional jail. At the time the cap on the State funds per
jurisdiction was $600,000 dollars. Southampton County
withdrew from the regional jail and the City of Franklin had
to follow suit since Franklin is with Southampton County
under the jurisdiction system. Now, the General Assembly has
removed the cap on State funds so that• the State will pay
50$ of a regional jail. Suffolk has inquired of the County
if we would be interested in a regional jail at the present
site in Suffolk. Mr. Crook stated he understands that the
City of Franklin and Southampton is also, not by any written
request, but has indicated some interest in a regional jail
again. As it now stands the State funds would pay up to
half of the cost. of the regional jail and the•regional jail
would be under a board directed by the jurisdictions
involved to operate the jail. Mr. Crook continued stating
he has correspondence from the City Attorney from the City
of Suffolk and .that County Administrator Standish has
correspondence from the Mayor of the City of Suffolk
inquiring as to the interest of the County in participating
in a regional jail. It would be in order for the Board to
take action at this time to set up a meeting, with
representatives of governing bodies, to discuss this
possibility. Mr. Crook reminded the Board that time is of
the essence because the Department of Corrections, in order
to include any request in their budget to get to the General
Assembly, wants that by August of this year.. Mr. Crook
stated if the Board was interested in responding and meeting
with the City of Suffolk, the Board needed to take action
and also if the Board is interested in renewing discussions
with Southampton and the City of Franklin you .need to. take
some action.
Supervisor Bradshaw stated he would like to have
discussions with the City of Franklin and Southampton, as
well as the City of Suffolk.
County Attorney Crook stated that the situation with
the City of Suffolk, regional jail requires three
jurisdictions unless it qualifies for a regional jail prior
to December of 1982. The question then is, does the City of
Suffolk jail constitute a regional jail in order to have the
50~ participation from- the State. Mr. Crook continued
stating that he had talked with Carlton Bolte, of the
Department of Corrections, and he qua fifes his remarks by
saying he is a not an attorney, but he does indicate that he
feels Isle of Wight and the. City of Suffolk have
participated as a regional jail and would qualify under that
exception. If we did not we would not have the 50% funding,
we would have the statutory cap that we had before, although
it has been increased somewhat, depending on the size of the
jail, but it would not be anything like what we would get as
a regional facility.
Supervisor Turner stated he had talked with some
Councilmen from the City of Suffolk and he feels the County
should keep all doors open and look at all possible factors.
Supervisor Turner suggested that each jurisdiction appoint a
committee to meet regarding the regional jail due to the
fact it would be easier to get a committee together rather
than the entire governing bodies.
Chairman Bradby concurred with Supervisor Turner's
suggestion.
County Attorney Crook stated that if the Board is
interrested in going with tha regional jail in Suffolk we
would need to get a determination from the Department of
Corrections who would be advised. by the Attorney General's
Office whether we qualify as a regional jail. If we
f.
sooK ~4 ~ACf~3fi3
consider Southampton County, the City of Franklin and the
City of Suffolk, then we .are going to be looking at a new
site problem.
1
Supervisor Turner moved the Board authorize County
Attorne}~ Crook to get a determination from the Department of
Corrections as to whether the City of Suffolk fail would
qualify. The vote in favor was unanimous (5-0).
Chairman Bradby moved that Supervisor Turner, County
Administrator Standish and County Attorney Crook and himself
serve as the committee. to meet with the City of Suffolk,
City of Franklin anal/or Southampton County .regarding the
proposed regional jail facility. The motion passed by
unanimous (5-0) vote of the Board.
On motion of Supervisor Bradshaw, the Board voted
unanimously (5-O) to authorize County Administrator Standish
to send a formal letter to Southampton County and the City
of Franklin requesting a meeting regarding a regional jail,
as well as an appropriate response to the City of Suffolk.
//
Supervisor Edwards left the meeting: at 1:21 P.M.
because he was i11 and did not return.

Chairman Bradby informed R. W. Coates, Resident
Engineer with the. Virginia Department of Transportation,
that the bushes need 'to be cut along Route 628 going to the
County. line which is used by the' nuclear power station.
Mr. Coates advised Chairman Bradby that the bushes should

U
Chairman Bradby also asked Mr. Coates to have a speed
study done in an of-fort to reduce s~,eed on Route 628, to
which Mr. Coates replied, he would ask the. traffic engineer
to do the same.
R. L. Walker, .representing the Central Hill Community
Club, asked for the Department of Transportation's help with
ditch drainage problems and debris to be removed from
property owner' land which came from ditches which the
Department of Transportation cleaned out on Route 1304. Mr.
Walker further stated that if the Community does not get the
proper assistance from the Department of Transportation they
will take more steps.
Mr. Coates replied to Mr. Walker's complaints stating
that the Department-has only 14 people that work in Isle of
Wight County and the City of Suffolk and the workers cannot
stay in that particular area. Mr. Coates further stated the
Department has not had the opportunity to do all they want
to do in that area, but they are working there as time
permits.
Supervisor Bradshaw asked Mr. Coates to contact William
H. Barrett relative to a driveway drainage problem in the
Carrsville area.

the application.
Chairman Bradby read the following letter of
opposition:
"The County Board of .Supervisors
Sirs,
Sorry we cannot attend the public hearing due to our
work schedule, but we would like to voice our opinions
in regards to Colonial Trading Centers application for
rezoning.
The present business that is being run on said property
causes considerable amount of dust from the operation
and overly loud music being played, which in a sense is
a nuiance and agravation. It is also our understanding
that threats have been made if the rezoning did not
pass, due to complaints from adjoining property owners.
We do not feel that we need this type of attitude in
any business in our neighborhood or in the county.
We realize that in this type of operation there will be
some dust. But an excessive amount should be curbed
with some type of buffer. The machinery and constant
truck traffic does constitute a considerable amount of
noise, and there should be some limit as to hours of
operation, seeing as this is a residential community.
We believe any business and or property owner living or
working in close proximity with others should respect
their views if not unfair and take appropriate action
to correct any of these matters.
Adjoining Property Owner
s/Larry and Marie Ashby"
Supervisor Bradshaw expressed his concern that Mr.
Hicks was operating his business prior. to the Board
approving the rezoning and asked Mr. Caskey what was being
done about it.

Bartlett about five days ago.

//
Mr. Caskey informed the Board that a letter had been
received from Roger L. Duke asking the. Board to consider
releasing him from any obligation in regard to improving
Duke's Lane any further. Mr. Caskey related that Mr. Duke
had agreed to maintain the property, as in the past, such as
dragging the road, adding rocks and gravel as necessary,
cleaning out ditches, etc., as well as future plans to put
crushed materials over the road's surface at different
intervals to allow the material to pack properly.
County Attorney Crook stated he had received a letter
from Jeffrey Gardy, attorney for Mr. Howell, who wanted the
bond released. I advised him that the obligation of Mr.
Howell was assumed by Mr. Duke, however, Mr. Duke has failed
to provide the performance bond for the road and until he
does so or unless the Board of Supervisors waives the
requirement of the bond the County cannot release it. Mr.
Crook continued stating that although the road is in pretty
good condition, it is not in conformance ,with the
requirement of the subdivision ordinance for the road, and
the bond was required b~ the Board to ensure that the road
would be built in compliance with the subdivision ordinance
requirements.
Following discussion, Supervisor Bradshaw moved the
Board release the bond to Mr. Howell and let Mr. Caskey
approve the plat from Mr. Duke. The motion carried
unanimously (4-0) by the Board members .present.
//
On motion of Supervisor Bradshaw, the Board members
present voted unanimously (4-0) to appoint Phillip Bradshaw,
P. O. Box 1, Carrsville, Virginia, to serve as a member of
the Reassessment Board to represent the .Windsor Magisterial
District.
County Attorney Crook stated the 1989 changes in the
Freedom of Information Act are really significant in one in
particular, the requirement following executive session,
that when you return to open session, you have to adopt a
motion to the effect that matters discussed in executive
session were the matters enumerated in the motion to go into
executive session, and any member that cannot vote for that
motion has to state why, which pretty well makes the case
against the other Board members for violation of the Freedom
of Information Act. The changes did add provisioins for a
couple of years for telephonic type meetings conducted over
telephone, video type, but that is very experimental and a
lot of conditions attached to that. However, this Board has
never engaged in that type of meeting. The thing to keep in
mind is that when you go into executive session, I think it
would be advisable that I word the motion for the Board so
that there will be specificity as what the topics will be
and which provisions of the act they will come under, then
you will have to adopt a motion on return to open session, a
motion or a resolution, stating that was what was discussed.
