Assistant Clerk Chairman Edwards called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. The invocation was delivered by Supervisor Cofer. // Chairman Edwards called for a public hearing on the following: Proposed FY1993-94 Operating and Capital Budgets Chairman Edwards called for comments from citizens. Bruce Bumbalough, Director of the Walter Cecil Rawls Library, stated Rawls would like to .delete from their budget request funds for the proposed new Windsor Library because the library will not be completed prior to the conclusion of the FY1993-94 budget. Mr. Bumbalough further stated the deletion of this request will reduce their budget request of approximately $147,000 to $139,675, which is still $4,275 above the County Administrator's recommendation. Mr. Bumbalough stated the new percentage increase is 8.32% .for the County which is the same increase being sought from other localities with the exception of Franklin which has only been operating for a partial year in the current fiscal year. Mr. Bumbalough stated the additional request of $4,275 allows for the annual cost of paid staff support for keeping the libraries at Smithfield and Carrollton open for two and a half hours per week and that basically Rawls request is last year's budget plus 3% for inflation. Mr. Bumbalough stated for the first time in three years, the Rawls Library is anticipating aone-step increase in salary levels of staff for all eligible employees and would also like to increase the headquarter's staff by one full or two .part-time individuals. Mr. Bumbalough noted the headquarters staff has reduced three clerical positions through attrition from w11at it was in July of 1990 and. the clerical responsibilities that were being performed are now being done by professional staff. Mr. Bumbalough stated a $139,b75 appropriation to the Rawls Library from .the County will allow .for better services from headquarters as well as a continuation of the existing service. patterns. Mr. 1 1 1 1 .; BOON ~5rAFf~Jl •• Bumbalough noted all funds received Erom the County relative to the • operation of branches that goes into personnel salaries will remain in the County. ' Andy .Rose, one of Isle of Wight County's representatives on the Rawls Library Board of Directors, urged the Board to support their budget request of $139,675 to allow the continuation of existing library services. Supervisor Spady asked Mr. Bumbalough how much the endowment contributes to the total budget. Mr. Bumbalough replied approximately $26,000 per year.. Mr. Rose stated the library does receive other funds. which are earmarked for special projects and that one of the. projects currently underway is automation of all library services. Mr. Rose further stated Rawls is now attempting to secure grants from private individuals to accomplish this.. Linda Bean, Director of Social Services, requested the Board allocate an increase of $161,134 in the Social Services FY1993-94 operating budget. Mrs. Bean explained these .increases include $70,000 for the auxiliary grant program; $73,800 for the companion program; and $18,331 to allow a 5% salary increase for thirty-five Social Services employees. Mrs. Bean stated the auxiliary grants program. is a mandated program which assists elderly and disabled .individuals in meeting the cyst for nursing homes and that during this past fiscal year the Zuni training center changed its status to a home for adults which caused all indigent individuals who were already residing at the Home to become the fiscal responsibility of the County. Mrs. Bean stated as a result, the caseload and cost for that line item almost doubled. Mrs.. Bean further stated the companion services program provides in-.home care primarily to the County's frail elderly which prevents or stalls unnecessary institutional care. Some in-home care is mandated by the Virginia General Assembly, but for Isle of Wight County, the extent of that mandated care would only amount to approximately $40,000 which allows the County to provide companion services to thirteen individuals and that the County is currently providing companion services to sixty-five individuals with a waiting list for ten additional individuals. Mrs. Bean stated she is proposing to hold the number to sixty-five individuals for the next fiscal year. Mrs. Bean stated if the Social. Services budget request is reduced from $1,842,366 to tl~e proposed $1,737,127, Social Services will then have to look at a probable combination of reducing the companion cases down to the level of thirteen, drastically cutting or discontinuing the general relief program; providing no salary increases to • Social Services employees; or, perhaps laying off staff which already operates at almost 20% below the State standards level. Mrs. Bean stated regarding the general relief program,. while this is not. mandated by the State or Federal government, it is a program that offers temporary assistance to individuals with a temporary disability. only until a dockor .releases them from care and they are able to return to work. Supervisor Bradshaw commented that computer equipment is 2 f t y eooK ~.5 ~~c~2~2 ~, mandated by the State Department of Social Services. Mrs. Bean stated that Social Services is required to pay 20% of the total cost or $7,000. Supervisor Bradshaw staked if the Board intended to give County employees a 5% salary increase, the Board should allocate $18,331 to the Social Services Department to provide a 5% increase for their employees. Supervisor Cofer stated he wanted the County's local Social Services Board to perform more lobbying because in the last year the State's share to local Social Services has dropped 13% while the County's share has risen 7%. Mrs. Bean stated that her -Board has been very active in lobbying and meets annually with legislators. The County and the Social Services Board has lobbied extensively for the State's participation in the companion program which maintains elderly persons in their home for less than $400 per month. Mrs. Bean stated it would cost between $2,000 and $4,000 if this same person went into a nursing home. . Reverend Vincent .Thomas, Chairman of the Social Services Board, stated Social Services three years ago began looking at reducing the number of companion recipients because they were forced to approach the County requesting additional funds to take care of this program. We have lobbied the State legislature vigorously and .tried. to get them to change the laws to fully fund some of these programs although they refused to do so. At the same time the Social Services Department began reducing, the numbers began increasing because the criteria was changed for medicaid recipients and persons being eligible to enter nursing facilities. Reverend Thomas stated if Social Services begins looking at where they will have to cut, they will have to cut the funds that provide for Isle of Wight residents the greatest benefits. In terms of pay scales Eor Social Services employees, Social Services is trying to keep pace with County employees because it creates. ill feelings when a person that 11as not received an increase works with other. County employees who have received one. Pamela J. Edwards, School Board Chairman, urged the Board to support full funding of t11e proposed School FY1993-94 budget. William E. Laine, Jr., Clerk of the Circuit Court, requested $85,000 for the remodeling of the old furnace room for 300 cubic feet of records storage; shelving far furnace room and map room for records storage; enclose area outside furnace room to make 12 x 16 office; architect fees; optical scanner for land records storage; and fire alarm and suppression system for records room. Mr. Laine stated his proposal to the Board tonight would allow the Circuit Court Clerk's office to have adequate room Eor an additional five years. Supervisor Bradshaw stated the County needed to add an -entire wing to alleviate the space problem for the next twenty years rather than adding just a room or two to the existing building. Supervisor Bradshaw stated he I^ i~ 3 •: eooK 15:a~~2~3 ,. knew Mr. Laine was trying to be conservative; however, he is looking into • the future. Mr: Laine stated his reason for making such a small request is because he believes that in the near future the County will be asked to build another building to locate the circuit court facility and at the same time the County could incorporate a Circuit Court Clerk's office. in the same building. Supervisor Bradshaw stated this is why he would not vote favorably on this request for funds because the County will eventually have to build a new building for the Circuit Court. Supervisor Bradshaw stated he did, however, support the concept of a fire alarm and suppression system for the. records room. .Supervisor. Spady asked Mr. Laine how the optical scanner compared with the new laser discs. Mr. Laine stated t11at it is basically the same piece of equipment and is considered the wave of the future. Supervisor Spady asked Mr. Laine what he would do with the books he is currently keeping. Mr. Laine stated. he did not plan to get rid of any of the books, rather to begin scanning the new documents that come in. Supervisor Spady asked Mr. Laine when Ile was planning on receiving the new equipment. Mr. Laine explained it would be available by this Fall and he planned on obtaining it in 1994. Supervisor Bradshaw stated, he would rather consider purchasing an optical scanner for the land records storage than allocate funds to build .additional space because he is sure the County will have to build another building later on. Alan Nogiec, Director of the Recreational Facilities Authority, requested an additional $27,044 to add a Parks & Maintenance Specialist position which includes fringe benefits and has been vacant Eor the past three years. Mr. Nogiec stated this position would provide direct services to three maintenance. workers, two green-thumb workers, two park attendants, participants in the juvenile rehab program and any other FederallState funded employment program involved with the Recreational Facility Authority. The additional responsibilities for this person would be. for vehicle, .building and equipment maintenance, inventory and quality control of park equipment, landscaping services, etc. Mr. Nogiec noted that he was unaware the County is considering a 5% increase for its employees and included in his budget request is a only a 2.5% increase for his employees. Supervisor Bradshaw urged the Board to review the Parks & 4 BOOK ~5 -'AO!'~;J4 .. ,. Recreational Facilities Authority budget request. Chairman Edwards called for comments from the Board. .Chairman Edwards asked the County Administrator to provide the Board with an update on the funding for the Windsor Library, County Administrator Standish stated the Board previously authorized $50,000 for the Windsor Library, but has not appropriated it and since the County is anticipating this cost during the.course of next year, this amount should be added to the capital budget. Mr. Standish stated if an agreement is reached between the County and Pruden, work on the project will begin in the Fall and be completed by June of 1994. Supervisor Bradby requested the Board to consider the addition of a kitchen to the Rushmere Volunteer Fire Department for their fund. raising. events during their budget deliberations. Supervisor Bradby further stated plans for a kitchen were included in the original building plans, however were deleted because of cost. Supervisor Cofer requested Supervisor Bradby to provide cost figures on such to the Board as soon as possible. Chairman Edwards requested County Administrator Standish to advise the time deadline for voting on the budget. • County Administrator Standish stated the Board must wait seven days after tonight's public hearing before the Board can act on the budget and before May 1, 1993 regarding adoption of the school budget. /l Chairman Edwards called for a public hearing on the following: The request of the Isle of Wight Civic Club Council to hold the Seventh Annual Smithfield Ham and Gourmet Food .Festival on Saturday, April 24, 1993 from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Aberdeen Farm, located off Days Point Road (Route 673)- in Hardy Magisterial District.
