County Administrator Standish recommended to the Board of
Supervisors that it would be appropriate to consider the
establishment of an Economic Development Assistance Prog-ram,
beginning in the 1991-92 Fiscal Year Budget. County Administrator
Standish stated that the County's existing goals included retaining
current businesses, encouraging new business investment, and the
creation of new employment opportunities for County residents.
County Administrator Standish explained further that such a Program
Fund could consist of a Revolving Loan Program to assist business
development; an Infrastructure Development Fund which could finance
road, water or sewer improvements; an Existing Business Assistance
1

.,
~o~~K 14 ~~~~~57
Fund to reimburse businesses and industry investment that benefits
the County; and a Land Development and Acquisition Fund that could
purchase and develop industrial sites. Such a Program could be
funded by means of an allocation from the fund balances of the
County and the Public Service Authority and charges on. new HRSD
sewer connections.
County Attorney Crook advised the Board that he had researched
the Attorney General's opinions and Virginia Supreme Court cases
concerning-the proposals of~County Administrator Standish at the
request of the County Administrator. He stated it was very clear
from the cases and opinions that the County could not lend money
to businesses. Nor could the County purchase land for prospective
industries and give it to said industries. Likewise, the County
could not grant reduced service connection fees for water or sewer
to businesses or industries. Finally, the County could not use the
Industrial Development Authority nor the Public Service Authority
as its agent to do these things. However, these authorities have
been granted powers by the General Assembly that the .County does
not have and if they chose to exercise those powers independently
of the County Board of Supervisors these were things they could do
to promote business and industry such as financing through
Industrial Development Authority bonds, acquiring land for
prospective industries, eta. He stated he would have to research
the State statutes to advise the Board more fully. as to the
specific grant of powers to these authorities.
Supervisor Bradshaw inquired of the County Attorney if the
Board could appropriate funds to the authorities for. such purposes.
County Attorney Crook replied that the Board could appropriate
funds to the authorities if requested, but-could not earmark said
funds for any specific purposes. He stated that the Board did not
have line item control over authorities' expenditures.
County Administrator Standish stated that one of the Animal
Control vehicles was involved in an accident and was not
salvageable., County Administrator Standish continued that in the
County's current fiscal year budget, the Board had authorized money
for vehicle replacement.
Supervisor Turner moved that the Board approve the expenditure
of funds for the purpose of purchasing a truck or van to replace
the Animal Control vehicle. The motion passed unanimously (4-0)
of those members present. Supervisor Edwards was not present.
Supervisor Turner moved. that the Board take a ten-minute
recess. The motion passed unanimously (4-0) of those members
present. Supervisor Edwards was not present.
//
At 3:45 upon. returning for-Open .Session, Chairman Bradby
called for .New Business.
Supervisor Bradshaw stated that something needed to be done
regarding the collection of delinquent real estate, and personal
property taxes and suggested that the Board take action towards
collection of same.
County Attorney Crook stated that the collection of personal
property taxes was always a problem because if the taxes are not
collected right .away, most of them are lost as citizens move.
County Attorney Crook noted the Board of Supervisors had previously
employed counsel to collect- delinquent real estate taxes and
suggested the Board might wish to consider retaining legal counsel
to pursue their collection.
Supervisor Edwards -added that there are two bills in the
General Assembly which may make .delinquent collection more
attractive for attorneys to pursue.

County Administrator stated that normally the best delinquent
real estate tax collection efforts are out of the local
governments' attorneys office. County Administrator Standish
further stated that the Board did include funds in the current year
budget if the Board wished to allocate this money toward a special
real estate delinquent tax effort.
Supervisor .Turner moved that the Board direct the County
Attorney and County Administrator work together to prepare a
recommendation for the Board on methods to improve delinquent tax
collection. The motion passed unanimously (5-0).
//
Chairman Bradby called for the following Old Business:
Consideration of Alternatives for the Northeast
Development Service District and a Resolution of the
Board of Supervisors of Isle of Wight County to Adopt a
Comprehensive Plan
Chairman Bradby called for comments by Board members.
Supervisor Ross .stated at the previous meeting the Board
appointed he and Supervisor Turner to meet with the Smithfield Town
Council to discuss the various options and receive input from them
as to what should be advertised and language to be used in the
Comprehensive Plan. Supervisor Ross further stated the meeting was
held with Mrs. Moore and Dr. Ames, representatives of the
Smithfield Town Council, and a decision was not reached.
Supervisor Turner presented two alternatives for the
northeastern area of the County which illustrated the Development
Service District as originally recommended by the Planning
Commission, and a Development Management District concept which
specified certain areas where land use decisions. would receive
input from the Smithfield Planning Commission, though the Board of
Supervisors would have the final decision..
County Attorney Crook inquired of Supervisor Turner if the
Development Management District he proposed would allow for the
same development uses as the Development Service District with the
only change being input from the Town Planning Commission to the
County Planning Commission. Supervisor Turner replied yes.
Supervisor Edwards asked how the Town of Smithfield felt about
the two proposed .alternatives.
Supervisor Turner stated the Town of Smithfield wanted the
Development Service District all the way around the Town.
Supervisor Edwards suggested advertising that concept for a
joint meeting with the Planning Commission.
County Attorney Crook stated that procedurally the
Comprehensive Plan would have to go ..back to the Planning Commission
because of the time lapse. He stated further that both
alternatives should also go to the Planning Commission for their
recommendation, i.e., the proposal of the Development Service
District encircling the Town as previously presented as "Plan B"
and a specific amendment for the Development Management District
in detailed language with a map of the area. County Attorney Crook
further stated under the County's Zoning and Subdivision ordinances
there is a provision that the Board can have a joint meeting of the
Board and.the Planning Commission; however, this provision is not
included in the Comprehensive Plan provisions. The proper
procedure would be for the Board to send the Comprehensive Plan
back to the Planning Commission and then the Planning Commission
can send its recommendation back to the Board.

Supervisor Turner moved that the two alternatives be sent back
to the Planning Commission and include the proposed wording for. the
Development Management District. The motion passed, (4-1)with
Supervisor Edwards voting in opposition to the motion.
Chairman Bradby called for the following Old Businessr
An Ordinance to Amend the Ordinance to Provide Standards
for Naming Streets
County Attorney Crook advised that the Planning Commission
had proposed an amendment .that any request for street name change
shall require a petition signed by 80$ of the landowners on the
street accompanied by a fee of $400.00 made payable to the .County
of Isle of Wight. County Attorney Crook further stated the $400.00
fee was not to prohibit name changes, but to pay for the expenses
involved which consist of public hearings before the Planning
Commission and the Board and advertising.
.Supervisor Turner stated he disagreed with the $400.00 fee
because if a road had only four residents that was a lot of money
for the residents to put up to change the name of the road..
County Attorney Crook stated the Board-might consider reducing
it to a majority of the landowners with a fee of $250.00.
Supervisor Turner moved that the Board accept the County
Attorney's suggestion and adopt. the following amended
ordinance and that adoption of the ordinance will not
affect-the present name change proposed for Days Point
Road and Days Point Lane:
