Edwards, Chairman O. A. Spady, Vice Chairman Henry H. Bradby Joel C. Bradshaw; Jr. Malcolm T. Cofer Also Attending: s H. Woodrow Crook, Jr., County Attorney Myles E. Standish, County Administrator W. Douglas Caskey, Assistant County Administrator/Community Development Donald T. Robertson, Assistant to the County Administrator Carey H. Mills, Assistant Clerk Chairman Edwards called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. The invocation was delivered by Supervisor Spady. // Chairman Edwards called for Citizens Comments. Janice Barrington of Lees Mill Road stated Carrsville Elementary School is the only school located in the County that did not pass the facilities study when it was performed last year. Ms. Barrington .further stated on behalf of the residents of Carrsville she would like to request that the Board keep Phase II on schedule. Grace Keen of Benns Church Boulevard stated she is pleased that Ragged Island has been reopened; however, she would like to request that some provision be implemented to close it at sundown and reopen it at daylight. Ms. Keen further stated although she was aware that the County did not have jurisdiction over Ragged Island, she would like to request that the appropriate officials be contacted regarding the matter., Supervisor Spady noted there are many people who fish off the bank at Ragged Island which may not be in favor of this request. Ms. Keen stated regarding the Race Track gas station property being officially rezoned, some of the adjoining land owners were concerned that they did not have the opportunity to address the matter at a public hearing. Ms. Keen stated she did not believe that commercial property was taxed differently than real estate and one of the property owners suggested that the County consider this because when the property is rezoned, the property owner pays the commercial rates and then the County will be sure of what takes .place. She also questioned when property is rezoned in the future and no activity takes place on the property,. could it be reviewed. Reverend Perry, member of the School Board and resident of the IC 1 ~o~K 15 r~~~311 Carrsville District, stated 40% of the taxes are provided by the Carrsville • District which is also in the County's comprehensive growth plan and the School Board's capital improvements plan. Reverend Perry further stated. Carrsville Elementary School was the worst facility in the entire County according to the facilities study and to eliminate it from Phase II would be a .mistake. Reverend Perry urged the Board to keep the Carrsville School in Phase II and that it be funded according to the previous schedule. Bill Barrett of the Carrsville District stated the Board is responsible to the County as a whole and not just one section and actions taken by the Board affects the entire County. Mr. Barrett further stated Carrsville is usually the tail end of anything being done. and if it had. not been for Supervisor Bradshaw, Carrsville may not have gotten what they do have. Mr. Barrett stated the County has begun a school'in Carrollton and. one is anticipated for the Town of Windsor and in all fairness the next school to be built should be in Carrsville. Mr. Barrett requested that the Board allow citizens comments after each item of the agenda to allow citizens an opportunity to comment on all aspects of County business. Brian Carroll, President of Isle of Wight Rescue Squad in Smithfield, stated for FY1993-94, the Squad requested from the County $60,000 in operating expenses and $45,000 in capital improvement money of which $30,000 was to be used for vehicle improvements and $15,000 towards hearE monitors and defibrillator. Mr. Carroll stated thus far the Squad is suppose to receive $52,500 in operating money and $10,000 in capital improvement money. Mr. Carroll continued the Squad requested from the Town of Smithfield $40,000 operating money and $15,000 for vehicle maintenance and heart monitors and he was told that the proposed budget from the Town was to approve all these funds for a total of $55,000 compared to a total proposal from the County of $62,500 of the $100,000 requested. Mr. Carroll stated last year the Squad received a total of 1,422 ambulance calls and traveled a total of 64,305 ambulance miles and they are also considered an advance life support agency which adds considerably to the cost of the agency. Mr. Carroll pointed out that the Windsor Rescue Squad ran a total of 637 calls last year and they are also proposed to receive $52,500 and although he believes-the Windsor Rescue Squad does need this proposed amount, he also believes that the Isle of Wight Rescue Squad is in need of considerably more monetary support from the County. Mr. Carroll stated the Squad received a State grant last year. for capital improvement money to purchase two heart monitors at a cost of $20,000 of which $9,000 was ` grant money. The difference must be made up by the agency and due to the age of their monitors, the Squad has chosen to purchase three at a total cost of $30,000.. Mr. Carroll stated the $15,000 request from the County must be received to cover the cost as they have. already purchased these units. Mr. Carroll further stated the Squad has also requested an additional $30,000 for vehicle improvements, none of which was proposed, and due to their call demand, it is essential for them to maintain a reserve ambulance. Failure to maintain this reserve may result in serious problems when it comes to covering calls and because if they do not receive substantial monetary support from the County, it will cause the members 2 eooK , 15 ~~=~~3~.2 to devote more time towards raising money and less time in the ambulance. Mr. Carroll stated .volunteers are a very essential part of the County's emergency services; however, it will soon become impossible to run a volunteer agency without the County's support. The $60,000 in operating money and $45,000 in capital improvement money is a nominal fee compared to .the $600,000 it will take for the County to run this organization. Mr. Carroll urged the Board to reconsider their proposal to their operating budget for FY1993-94. /I Chairman Edwards called for transportation matters. iviacFarland Neblett, Resident Engineer, .Virginia. Department of Transportation, introduced David Stanley, an engineer trainee with VDOT. Mr. Neblett. advised a location design public hearing would be held on June 16, 1993 at the Rescue Community Building for the Route 704 Rescue Bridge. project. At 6:00 p.m., a project showing will be held with a public hearing to commence at 7:00 p.rn. Mr. Neblett stated the project is to replace the existing structure which was built in 1937 with a posted capacity. of ten tons consisting of concrete deck with steel beams on a timber substructural foundation. Current roadway width is 23 feet with a five foot sidewalk on both sides. The new bridge will be approximately 350. feet in length with a five foot sidewalk on the north side. Mr. Neblett stated the project will require a minimum of 50 foot right of way and some right of way will have to be purchased. Regarding the roadway approaches to the bridge, VDOT is considering 22 feet of pavement and the approaches with six foot shoulders. The environmental document for the project has been approved by the Federal Highway Administration and other agencies and VDOT has satisfied the Virginia Department of Historic Resources regarding the historic nature of the bridge. Mr. Neblett stated VDOT would .present the following three proposals at the public hearing: Build the bridge upstream as directed by the Board of Supervisors in October of 1990; replace the bridge in the same location as the existing bridge which would require a detour; and/or remove half the existing bridge while the new bridge. is built. Mr. Neblett stated the structural integrity of the existing bridge at Rescue will not allow the latter proposal because of the timber substructure. Mr. Neblett stated the present traffic count on Route 704 is 1,200 vehicles per day, the 1996 projected traffic count is 1,350 per day and in 2006, the traffic count is projected at 1,600 per day. Mr. Neblett stated he would return after the public hearing to seek a recommendation from the Board and VDOT is anticipating right of way purchase to begin in the winter of 1993 and construction to begin in the Fall of 1994. Chairman Edwards called for highway concerns of the Board. Supervisor Bradshaw requested VDOT to cut the tree limbs hanging over the road on River Run Trail and either place signs on the road near the main office at Union Camp stating "no trucks allowed" or mark the street that the .trucks are supposed to be on. 1 3 .: aooK ~.5 r.~~~313 1 1 1 Mr. Neblett stated he would speak with Union Camp on the matter and VDOT would review the possibility of posting signs on the roads that the trucks should be using. However, regarding restricting truck traffic on a particular street, there is a lengthy process the County would have to go through which includes public hearings, he stated. Supervisor Bradshaw stated he has spoken with Billy Camp regarding the sharp curve on Pruden Road and asked Mr. Neblett wher- he would be contacting him. Mr. Neblett stated he would contact Supervisor Bradshaw the first of next week regarding the research VDOT has performed on the matter. Supervisor Bradshaw requested the County Attorney to elaborate on the status of the Walter's Prison Camp being reopened. County Attorney Crook stated a letter was written to the appropriate officials,. but he would send afollow-up letter if Supervisor Bradshaw desired. Supervisor Bradshaw moved the Board direct the County Attorney to prepare afollow-up letter to the Governor and legislative delegation requesting that the Walter's Prison Camp- be reopened. The motion was unanimously (5-0) adopted. Henry Bell informed the Board that several weeks ago an accident occurred on Route 681 and requested Mr. Neblett to give a status report on the Route 681 right-of-way acquisition. Mr. Neblett stated to date, VDOT has obtained three signatures. There is one property owner in Connecticut who has been contacted who indicated a willingness to donate the necessary right of way. Mr. Neblett stated there are two additional signatures to obtain before the matter is brought to the Board for consideration. Supervisor Bradby requested VDOT to clean the ditches in the Central Hill area. Mr. Neblett stated some minimal work has been performed and VDOT is waiting for the ditch cleaning machine and the ground to harden before performing more extensive drainage work. Supervisor Bradby asked Mr. Neblett if the speed limit signs have been posted in the Central Hill area. Mr. Neblett stated #hey have been installed and an additional sign has been requested which VDOT is currently reviewing. Michael Uzzell, Central Hills Estates, stated the existing speed limit sign cannot be seen from Route 637. Supervisor Spady requested Mr. Neblett to prepare a deed for 4 eoeK. 15 ~acr3~4 Laurelwood Drive for the property owners to sign. Mr. Neblett stated VDOT would get the necessary paperwork done and he would need to speak with VDOT's staff attorney to determine the. necessary procedure to get it dedicated to the County. Supervisor Spady requested the status of the bump on Route ?04. Mr. Neblett explained before VDOT leaves this project, the bump in the road will be leveled. Supervisor Cofer asked Mr. Neblett if VDOT's wrecker driver on the. James River Bridge is available 24 hours a day and if so, perhaps he could be available to lock and unlock the gate at Ragged Island. Mr. Neblett stated the wrecker does make circular trips; however, Ragged Island is controlled by the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries. County Attorney Crook stated Peter Andrew, .the Construction Manager on the Carrollton Elementary School project has a request concerning Route 711 that should be brought up while Mr. Neblett is present. Peter Andrew, the School Board's Program Manager on the Carrollton Elementary School project, submitted a map of the Route 711 access road to the school. Mr. Andrea stated construction on the project began before '., the drawings and the project was approved for the widening of Route 711. Mr. Andrew .stated after construction started, the School Board requested additional funds from the County to perform this work and the goal is to finish the school by September 1,1993. Mr. Andrew stated if the contractor is able to close the road for thirty days it may save approximately $30,000 and help to meet the completion date of September 1, 1993. Roy Spears, President of Shirley Construction, stated he understood in order to close a road the Board is required to hold a public hearing which may require thirty days to accomplish. Mr. Spears stated unless the road was closed, it would require double the time to accomplish the widening project. County Attorney Crook stated the authority to close a road during construction lies with the Highway Commissioner and he wanted Mr. Neblett to elaborate on the matter as to the procedures. The County cannot close a road although they can request the Highway Commissioner to consider closing it for the construction. Mr. Neblett stated it is a lengthy process to close a road for construction purposes which is not deemed an emergency. Mr. Neblett stated he discussed the matter with Mr. Andrew and Mr. Spears and explained that a public hearing would need to be held with a resolution from the Board of Supervisors requesting the closing of the road. Mr. Neblett stated there needs to be a notice published in the papers for a 1 5 aoo~ ~.S:M~~315 public hearing which may require a #hirty to sixty day procedure. . Normally, when VDOT constructs a road, the road is not closed, but is built under traffic. Mr. Neblett pointed out that Route 711.is a hard surface road and the detour (Route 665) is a gravel road that is narrow with a sharp turn. Mr. Neblett stated the closure of the road would affect approximately 32 residences which should have the opportunity to speak during a public hearing. Mr. Neblett stated Route 711 is not currently built to handle the types of traffic such as school buses, food delivery trucks and other service trucks that deliver supplies to the school. The road currently has an eighteen foot wide pavement and VDOT is now .requesting atwenty-two foot pavement. The road currently has two-foot shoulders and to stay within the existing forty-foot right of way, the shoulders can be widened to four feet. County Attorney Crook stated the County currently has a fifty-foot right of way. Mr. Neblett stated the County has obtained additional right of way of twenty feet, but this is also the side that the power poles are located on and if the School Board allows VDOT to utilize that. twenty-foot right of way, the poles will have to be moved. In an effort to work with the County, VDOT obtained a variance to build the road within the existing forty-foot right of way so the power poles would not have. to be moved. County Administrator Standish asked Mr. Neblett if utility relocation is an eligible project cost out of VDOT's budget. Mr. Neblett replied "no", not in this instance. Supervisor Spady asked Mr. Neblett if VDOT would stop the school buses from utilizing the roads if the work is not completed on time. Mr. Neblett stated he believed the contractor would have the road built on time. If VDOT put a road like this out to contract, VDOT would bid it out as a ninety-day contract expecting the contractor to have the road completed within sixty days. Supervisor Spady suggested approaching Mr. Kirk regarding the right of way on the other side of the road. County Attorney Crook stated VDOT's requirements did. not indicate that the County needed additional right of way but additional right of way was obtained from Norsworthy because of the road and the water line. Mr. Neblett stated a road can be built under traffic, particularly a road such as this because it is straight. Mr. Spears stated he has on board contractors that do not want to do this project because they looked at the contract and revisions as the road being closed. Mr. Shears stated if he had to seek other contractors to perform the work then it would take additional time and the inconvenience of closing the road will be slight compared to the safety concerns. 6 8001E 15 F'AC~IJ~U Mr. Neblett stated he is governed by State law and VDOT's policy, • although he will work with the Board in any way to speed the process up. County Attorney Crook stated the Board has had similar requests and VDOT normally requests the Board to adopt a resolution requesting the Commissioner to close the road during construction. In most cases, the Board has held a public hearing before adopting the resolution, except in cases of emergency. The question before the Board tonight is whether to do this without a public 1'.earing or not. County .Attorney Crook stated the Board could schedule a special meeting in two weeks and advertise the matter for public hearing at that meeting if the Board wants to speed the matter up. iVir. Spears suggested typing a letter to send to the adjoining property owners instead of holding a public hearing. County Attorney Crook stated this could be done; however, this would not substitute for a public hearing because there are other users of the road besides the citizens who live there. Supervisor Bradby moved the Board continue their meeting to June 3,1993 at 2:00 p.m. and direct the County Attorney to place the appropriate notice in the papers for the purpose of a public hearing to entertain comments on the closing of Route 711 during the construction process. The motion was unanimously (5-0) adopted. // County Attorney Crook requested an executive session pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act. under Section 2.1-344 Al concerning employment of consultants. Supervisor Cofer moved the Board amend the agenda to allow the Board to go into executive session. The motion was unanimously (5-0) adopted. At 7:10 p.m., Supervisor Cofer moved the Board go into executive session for the reason stated by the County Attorney. The motion was unanimously (5-0) adopted. Upon returning to open session at 7:40 p.m., Supervisor Cofer moved the Board adopt the following resolution: CERTIFICATION OF EXECUTIVE MEETING WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors has convened an executive meeting on this date pursuant to an affirmative recorded vote and in accordance with the provisions of the Virginia Freedom of Information Act; and, WHEREAS, 2.1-344.1A of the Code of Virginia requires a certification by this Board of Supervisors that such executive meeting was conducted in 7 ft 800N ~~~ conformity with Virginia law; ~5 .rACf I,1.?

Chairman Edwards called for a public hearing on .the following: An Ordinance to Amend Section 15-37, Home Occupation, of the Zoning Ordinance of Isle of Wight County, Virginia,. to Redefine Home Occupations in Said Ordinance ` County Attorney Crook stated the current home occupation provisions of the Zoning Ordinance are brief and it was found by counsel and staff that such provisions should be expanded upon and the proposed amendment of home occupations is basically taken from the new Zoning Ordinance under study by the County. Mr. Crook explained the County needs this amendment to the existing Zoning Ordinance as soon as possible. Chairman Edwards called for comments from citizens. No one appeared. Chairman Edwards called for comments from the Board. C, Supervisor Spady moved the Board adopt the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTION 15-37, HOME OCCUPATION, OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF ISLE OF WIGHT COUN'T`Y, VIRGINIA, TO RIDEFINE HOME OCCUPATIONS IN SAID ORDINANCE aoob 15 r~cf318 ,.

I/ Chairman Edwards called for FY1993-94 budgets. ~i County Administrator Standish stated the .Board has received recommendations from the Finance Committee for adjustments to the Budget which was advertised. Mr. Standish stated an additional $34,584 of non-local monies and an additional $50,487 of local monies is proposed to be added to the Operating Budget, as well as adjustments to the Capital Budget in the amount of $66,500. Mr. Standish reminded the Board that at 12 ~ooK 15 ~ACr322 their last meeting they did add $275,000 to the School Budget and appropriate adjustments in the revenue portion have been made. Chairman Edwards asked Supervisor Cofer, a member of the Finance Committee, if the adjustment made to the line item for Social Services would still be able to maintain the Companion Program this year. Supervisor Cofer stated the Social Services Board had authorized a $.40 per hour increase for the Companion Aides and in light of what the Board has done for County employees, the Finance Committee recommends half that amount or $.20 per hour which still gives the Aides a 7% increase. Supervisor Cofer stated there are sufficient funds to do the sixty-five individuals Social Services currently has. Supervisor Bradshaw stated there is a $57,135 difference in what Social Services has requested and- the Finance Committee would like to place a cap on the number of elderly participants. Supervisor .Spady stated the Finance Committee would like to limit the number of cases to a reasonable figure and if the County provides for every individual who needs the care, the figure would be too large. Supervisor Spady stated last year the Board requested Social. Services to keep the number of participants to fifty, but Social Services had money during. the year they had not used because they did not have the fifty participants when the Board appropriated the funds and they used that extra money to bring in extra cases, bringing the number to sixty five. Supervisor Spady stated what the Finance Committee is suggesting is that the Board would fund the money to handle sixty-five participants; however, as attrition occurs, then they will reduce the number of participants. Supervisor Bradshaw stated it is a hardship for the elderly citizens, but he did want to be conservative with the Counts funds. Supervisor Bradshaw stated insurance for the elderly is beginning to become a serious problem for which he has no solution. Supervisor Bradshaw stated the State has cut back on funds for the elderly and increased the funds for day- care. Supervisor Bradby stated once an elderly person becomes deceased, that opening can be moved to another elderly person which would leave. the County maintaining the number at sixty-five participants. Chairman Edwards stated he would like to see the County expand the program, but the .Board knows. this is not possible. Supervisor Cofer moved the Board fund an additional $4,275 to the Rawl's Library Budget with the request that a report be provided by Rawls by July outlining the use of locally-provided funds. The motion was unanimously (5-0) adopted. Supervisor Cofer moved the Board fund an additional $13,520 to the Social Services Budget, and approve the additional Federal/State funding in the amount of $34,584. The motion was unanimously {5-0) adopted. 1 13 ,.. Bo~K 15 ~~~~323 Supervisor Bradshaw stated the County was fortunate to have Alan Nogiec as Director of the Recreational Facilities Authority who needs an additional helper. Supervisor Bradshaw further stated- the Authority is growing and Alan. has never complained when asked to do something. Supervisor Bradshaw moved the Board authorize the Recreational - Facilities Authority general insurance coverage to be included with other County departments to be paid from the County General Fund, and fund an additional $17,000 to the Authority. The.. motion passed (41) with all members voting in favor of the motion except Supervisor Spady who voted against the motion. 1 1 Supervisor Cofer stated regarding the insurance, the County pays their insurance and the Authority reimburses the County so this will have no direct effect ~on the budget and in doing research on the matter, it was found that the Authority has existing personnel policies which appear to have an effect on existing resources, which he feels they should solve this problem first. Supervisor Cofer stated he would like for the Authority to review their own policies. Supervisor Cofer moved the Board approve a 2.4% salary increase for all employees effective July 1, 1993 among the five Constitutional offices. The motion was unanimously (5-0) adopted. Supervisor Spady moved the Board approve an additional $5,496 to the Commissioner of Revenue's Budget for a Business License Tax Auditor position. The motion was unanimously (5-0) adopted.

Supervisor Cofer moved the Board reduce the Personal Property tax rate from $4.50 to $4.40. The motion was unanimously (5-0) adopted. Supervisor Cofer moved the Board increase the Real Estate Tax rate to $.74. The motion was .unanimously (5-0) adopted. Supervisor Cofer moved the Board retain- the existing Machinery & Tools tax rate at $.94. The motion was unanimously (5-0) adopted. Supervisor Cofer moved the Board retain the Farm Machinery tax rate at $.91. The motion was unanimously (5-0) adopted.

County Attorney Crook stated he would have three matters for executive session later in the meeting. // Chairman Edwards called for the County Administrator's report. County Administrator Standish stated Sam Rosenthal will give: the Board a brief report on bids received for insurance for the County. Sam Rosenthal, the Count}~s insurance consultant, stated he received six proposals with comparable coverages ranging from $186,000 to $88,000 in cost.. The three most attractive proposals received came from CIGNA Insurance Company, the Virginia Municipal League Group Health Insurance Program and the Virginia Association of County Self Insurance Program. The Virginia Municipal League Group Self Insurance Program costs approximately $118,000 and the problerl with this program is that the general liability coverages are on a claims-made basis which the County has always preferred to stay away from. The Virginia Municipal League has terminated the services of Alexander and Alexander which has hired a new administrative firm from Boston effective October 1, 1993.. Mr. Rosenthal stated because of this the County is unaware of what will take effect with services or what will happen with the program. His suggestion would. be to wait and see what happens. Regarding the Virginia Association of Counties program, this is a very s#rong program and their premium of $88,000 is the lowest offered to the County. However, the negative factors of this program are that the Virginia. Bureau of Insurance has not approved it yet and there are twelve issues which must be addressed. Also there is a resolution and agreement which must be adopted by the Board and a check must be issued for approximately $88,000 by the middle of June. If the program is not approved by the Bureau of Insurance, he will request a return of the County's money or make other arrangements for insurance coverages. Mr. Rosenthal stated if the County does go with the Virginia Association of Counties, the County must comply with their loss control recommendations or they do have the authority to terminate the County's coverage within Fifteen days. Mr. Rosenthal stated he was concerned about the condition of Boykins Tavern. and if the Virginia Association of Counties' loss control representatives request that it be shut down or torn down, the County could have a Financial problem. Also the Virginia Association of Counties and. the Virginia Municipal League programs are assessable and if the County incurs some serious losses, the .County could be held responsible and assessed for additional funds to cover these losses. The Virginia Association of Counties will also be .opening their program to 24 eooN, . 15. r~r~334 School Boards which could also present large claims. Mr. Rosenthal stated if the County did wish to go with the Virginia. Association of Counties it may be wise to wait for one year.. Mr. Rosenthal stated regarding the CIGNA program, they are represented by the Manry Rawls Agency in Smithfield and their annual quote is $133,395 as compared to the County`s current annual .premium of $148,900. Mr. Rosenthal stated he would recommend the Board select CIGNA at $133,395 for at least one year giving the Board an opportunity to review the Virginia Association of Counties' program. Supervisor Cofer moved the Board authorize County staff to proceed with CIGNA Insurance Company. The motion was unanimously (5-0) adopted. County Administrator Standish stated the Board requested information on street lights in the County regarding the potential financial exposure the County may incur. Using the E-911 data. based upon five structures located on either side of public road within a distance of 600 linear feet, there is the opportunity for approximately 667 street lights .and there are already approximately 420 existing street lights that met the criteria. Mr. Standish further stated the County is looking at the possibility of adding approximately 250 street lights if the Board readopts .the 1971 policy. Chairman Edwards asked if the County paid the monthly bill on the existing street lights. County Administrator Standish replied the County currently pays out of the utilities portion of the Public Works budget funds for approximately 425 lights and the cost per light is approximately $100 per year. Supervisor Bradshaw asked if the County previously furnished the lights. County Administrator Standish replied the power companies previously installed the lights at no cost, .assuming it is a long-term commitment to pay the utility bill. Supervisor Spady asked if the study took into consideration how far off the road the houses may be. . Mr. Caskey replied this was taken into consideration and if the County had clusters or houses off the main road but within the linear measurement, the County did count the houses. Supervisor Bradshaw asked Mr. Caskey about the status of the street light requests from some of the businesses on Route 58 in Franklin. Mr. Caskey stated the study was not limited to residential structures and all sh~uctures were counted. -County Attorney Crook stated the Board should direct that a 25 ao~K 15~:~~~.~33~ resolution be prepared and that he have the opportunity to review it because it would have to be very detailed Supervisor Cofer moved the Board direct the County Attorney to draft a resolution incorporating the October 7, 1971 streetlight policy regarding installation of a street light where five dwellings, commercial structures, churches, or combination thereof are located within a 600 foot area, on an as-requested basis. The motion was unanimously (5-0) adopted.
