Chairman Edwards called for a presentation by the County's
Extension Agent, Robert D. Goerger.
Mr. Goerger noted the County's drought situation since late June with.
severe crop damage of estimated yield losses in the total amount of
$8,550,670. Mr. Goerger asked the Board to request the Governor's office
to declare the County as an agricultural disaster area which would enable
farmers to receive low interest loans and other types of disaster aid. that
might become available. Mr. Goerger specifically. requested the Board to
request the Governor's office to implement the "Livestock Feed Program"
which would make available to the County's livestock producers assistance
in feed purchases to replace feed lost to the drought.
Supervisor Bradshaw noted that not all farmers would qualify for the
programs, as experienced in previous years.
Supervisor Cofer moved the Board- authorize the County
Administrator to request the Governor's office to declare Isle of Wight

Supervisor Spady explained some counties depreciate machinery and
tools, but Isle of Wight does not. It depends on how it is valued and if it
is depreciated or not, explained Supervisor Spady.

MacFarland Neblett, Resident Engineer, Virginia Department of
Transportation, advised the bushes have been trimmed in the sharp curve
on Route 696 (Pruden Road). Mr. Neblett advised. the shoulders on Route
609 (Sunset Drive) have been corrected; however, because VDOT has a
limited right-of--way on this road the County may wish to consider
including improvement of that section of road in the next revision of the
Six-Year Secondary Improvement Plan. Mr. Neblett advised VDOT has met
with Union Camp officials and other businesses along Route 58 to establish
a truck route to decrease traffic in this area. Mr. Neblett advised regarding
Route 681, VDOT has been in contact with three outstanding property
owners who have not donated right-of-way. One of the parties is possibly
willing to donate; however, this property belongs to the heirs of the record
owner (Hall estate), some of which live out of state. The second .property
owner returned .the deed to VDOT unsigned .and, according to the
instructions in VDOT's letter, a deed returned unsigned is an indication that
the party is unwilling to donate the right-of-way. Henry Bell of Route 681
indicated this particular property owner would be willing to donate the
property if they were assured that all other property owners were willing
to donate. The third party has not responded to VDOT to date. In this
instance, Mr. Bell supplied VDOT with a telephone number who will
contact the manager of the property. Mr. Neblett stated VDOT feels they
have made every reasonable attempt at this point to acquire the necessary
i

right of way and therefor offers the County three options:. 1) .proceed
acquiring donated right of way on Route 681 and other remaining unpaved
-roads in the Six Year Plan until 100% is donated, 2) the Board can pass a
resolution requesting VDOT to acquire the right of way by purchase or
imminent domain, or 3) construct the road on what VDOT has obtained
within the right of way thus far. Mr. Neblett stated Route 681 does contain
a bridge which needs to be replaced which will be included in the project.
Mr. Neblett stated he could, before the next .Board meeting, discuss the,
situation with the County Attorney to find out how many individuals are
involved in the estate.
Mr. Neblett stated he would like to revise the Six-Year Plan this Fall
to add Route 609 and other roads. Mr. Neblett requested the Board advise
him concerning roads they would like included the Plan.
Supervisor Bradby asked Mr. Neblett if South Shore Drive in the
Rushmere area needed to be part of the. Six-Year Plan.
~~
Mr. Neblett explained aCounty-wide line item under the secondary
construction budget is set up and new additions and rural additions would
fall under this item. Once the rural addition qualifies, a route number is
designed and a project number identified and it is built with funds from
this County-wide new additions budget item.
Supervisor Cofer moved the Board authorize a public hearing for the
September 16, 1993 meeting on the one year part of the secondary
construction budget. The motion was unanimously (5-0) adopted.
County Administrator Standish stated the Rural Addition Policy has
been forwarded to the County and included in the agenda for the Board's
information as they consider rural additions to the State system.
County Administrator Standish stated also included in the agenda is
a status report on the Route 711 Carrollton Elementary School site
intersection with Route 258.
Mr. Neblett stated VDOT's latest correspondence to the School Board
dated August 5,1993 to Chairman Edwards outlined the conditions relative
to a stop light. Mr. Neblett further stated he advised Chairman Edwards
that a decision had been reached that school zone caution lights with 35
mph speed limit zones can be installed on Route 258 / 32 on either side of
the. intersection with Route 711. Since this letter, Mr. Neblett stated. he has
been in contact with Dr. Decker and in his last letter dated August 17,1993
he forwarded the necessary permit application and other pertinent
information.
1
Supervisor Bradby stated he had received several calls from concerned
citizens relative to the installation of a traffic light and urged VDOT to
continue in their efforts to install same.
Mr. Neblett stated VDOT is presently working with the School Board
in an effort to install a caution light and plans to perform a study relative
3

to the installation of a traffic light once the school is open.
.Supervisor Spady noted the Board has requested the Sheriff's
Department to place a deputy at the intersection.
Mr. Neblett stated he has met with Supervisor Spady to discuss the
matter of the affected property owners on the east side of the Route 704
bridge replacement. Mr. Neblett further stated since the last meeting VDOT
has prepared a shifted alignment of the road on the east side of the bridge
to reduce the impact on the property owners on the east side. Mr. Neblett
stated now that the public hearing has been held he would like some
direction from the Board on how they would like for VDOT to proceed.
Supervisor Spady moved the Board recommend a parallel bridge
upstream and that the approaches on the east side of the bridge be
redesigned as much as possible to offset the impact on the property owners.
The motion was unanimously (5-0) adopted.
Supervisor Spady moved the Board adopt the following resolution:

Rushmere Shores area.
Mr. Neblett stated VDOT did review South Shore Drive and will
proceed with construction as soon as possible.
Supervisor Spady stated the Transportation Safety Committee is
requesting deceleration lanes on Route 661 (Cedar Grove Road) and asked
Mr. Neblett to elaborate on the status.
Mr. Neblett stated VDOT did have funds available to build one
deceleration lane and a decision was made to utilize those funds to install
a right-turn lane at Route 711. VDOT can possibly look at Cedar Grove
Road. next year, stated Mr. Neblett.
Supervisor Spady stated VDOT has installed cleft-turn lane on
Longview Road but citizens are using this lane to make their left turn into
the Sentry Mart.

Brenda Vaughan of Cherry Grove stated motorists are pulling onto the
left-turn stacking lane and. making a turn into the front entrance of the
Sentry Mart forcing other motorists to meet them head-on at 45 mph.
Mr. Neblett stated he would request VDOT's Traffic Engineer review
the matter.
Supervisor Spady urged Mr. Neblett to speed up the road
improvements on Route 711.
Supervisor Cofer requested the status of North .Church Street.
Mr. Neblett stated this is not currently in the paving plan, but he
would see what he can do to eliminate the roughness in the road.
Chairman Edwards called for comments from citizens on highway
matters.

//
At 7:00 p.m., Supervisor Cofer moved the Board proceed with Item 11,
Public Hearing. The motion was unanimously (5-0) adopted.
Chairman Edwards called for the Board's consideration of the
following:
Application of Gatling Pointe Management Corporation and
Peninsula Housing and Builders Association, Inc., for a Special
Use Permit to hold the "1993 Parade of Homes" on September
11-16,1993, at Gatling Pointe South Subdivision which is located
on the east side of Battery Park Road (Route 704) in Newport
Magisterial District.
Chairman Edwards called for persons to speak in favor of the
application.
Beth Harget with the Peninsula Housing and Builders Association
appeared in support stating this is the largest housing event throughout the
area.
Chairman Edwards called for persons to speak in opposition to the
application.
Buddy Faison, resident of Route 671, expressed his concern over the
use of Route 671 by the developer of Gatling Pointe when it was expressed
at the Planning Commission by Rodham Delk, Jr. that the developer had no
plans to use Route 671 for access to the proposed subdivision. From the
beginning of the development, log trucks have used Route 671 to park and
load timber from the highway and since home construction began in the
Spring, contractors have repeatedly parked and blocked the road and used
Route 671 for entrance to home sites. Mr. Faison requested the Board to
require that Gatling Pointe close and block all entrances from Route 671 to
the development including the loop road and that they immediately be
required to install no-parking signs on the shoulders of Route 671. Mr.
Faison further requested County officials patrol Route 671 during the
Parade of Homes and that developers be required not to use Route 671 in
any future construction.
Supervisor Cofer suggested the Board could instruct the Sheriff to
patrol the area during the fourteen day period.

Beth Harget stated the developers .and the Peninsula Housing &
Builders Association is aware of the concern of the residents of Route 671
which is no longer being used as of today. There ivas a meeting with the
builders this morning where it was emphasized again very strongly that
Route 671 will not be used any more during construction. During the
Parade of Homes there is also no intention to use Route 671 for any public
access.

Supervisor Cofer moved the Board approve the application with the
condition placed on it by the Planning Commission that Route 671 will not
be used for access or parking during the event. The motion passed (40)
with Supervisor Spady abstaining.
Mrs. Bertha Langhorn and her son, James Langhorn, requested the
Board's assistance regarding poor water drainage in her yard.
Chairman Edwards referred the Langhorne to Mr. Caskey and Mr.
David for their assistance in the matter.
//
Chairman Edwards called for the Community Development report.
W. Douglas Caskey, Assistant County Administrator/Community
Development, stated the County previously contracted with Tischler &
Associates, Inc. for the development of an impact fee/proffer system and
the scope of services approved for this contract required that the consultant
prepare an assessment of potential proffers for consideration by the Board.
Dwayne Guthrie, Tischler & Associates, Inc., stated staff members of
the County were interviewed to try to ascertain which types of facilities
might have potential funding by cash proffers. Seven types of public
facilities were listed which appears to be possible for implementation for the
County. These include public schools, transportation, parks, County
buildings, solid waste. collection, rescue squads and fire departments. The
potential proffers which did not look promising at this time were public
utilities, the community college and regional jail. Mr. Guthrie stated
proffers are not to be .regarded as a tax, rather more like a user fee with the
intent to help provide necessary adequate public facilities in the community
to maintain a level of service standards and so the public health, safety and
welfare is maintained in the community as development takes place.. Mr.
Guthrie stated Tischler & Associates is also working with the County
Attorney to ensure that not only the technical part of their work is
performed correctly, but also to ensure that the County is advised on the
legal guidelines and conditions it should work under if it decides to
proceed with cash proffers without any legal challenges. Mr. Guthrie stated
Tischler & Associates will perform the remainder of the study and come
back to the Board. At that time, it is up to the Board to make a decision on
whether or not to implement the proffers, implement some of the seven
proffers, or take the dollar amounts they say are supportable and adopt.
them.
7
BoR~ 15 =~~438
Supervisor Spady asked why proffers were not considered for the
regional jail.
Mr. Guthrie stated Virginia has specific guidelines in its legislation
that prevent the County from accepting proffers for any facilities that are
not included in the Capital Improvement Program.
County Attorney Crook stated the question has been raised by Board
members to him if the County and the towns of Smithfield and Windsor
could meet regarding proffers that would be accepted in the towns
commensurate with what the County. is receiving from its developers. This
is a political problem that the Board could address and perhaps appoint a
member or members to meet with the towns to seewhat can be worked out
in that regard. This should be done now while the study is being
performed so it can be incorporated into the study. This will also enable
the town councils to be involved in the proffer study so that they would
accept proffers for developments within the towns to contribute to those
capital improvements of the County that serve the towns, such as schools
and fire departments.
Supervisor Spady moved the Board direct the County Administrator
and County Attorney write the Smithfield and Windsor town councils
requesting a meeting to discuss the matter. The motion was unanimously
(5-0) adopted.
Mr. Caskey stated incidents of off-lot septic system drainfields are
becoming more apparent for either existing or proposed lots due to soil
conditions that make a lot unable to stand .alone as a percolation site. In
these instances, either the existing property owner or the developer of the
proposed subdivision for a certain number of lots may be proposing to
secure an easement from an adjoining property owner with the approval of
the Health Department. The Health Department currently has no guidelines
to restrict easements creating an off-lot drainfield and. running through a
pump or gravity system their effluent to the adjoining property which
serves as their drainfield site. Mr. Caskey stated the County's Subdivision
Ordinance currently does not speak specifically to this situation and he has
corresponded with Dallas Holston, Environmental Manager for the Western
Tidewater Health District. Enclosed in the Board's agenda is his letter. Mr.
Holston noted there are no State regulations prohibiting such actions, but
he did point out that the use of such easements can create problems. In
summary, he points out that the use of these easements for existing lots
may have some justification provided certain precautions are taken, but it
would be his .recommendation that the County adopt an ordinance
requiring in those instances a reserve area for future repairs or additions to
the sewage system. Mr. Holston states further in his letter that the most
risk-free policy would. be to disallow such easements requiring instead that
the needed area be included in the lot or parcel in question and that he
does not believe it would be wise for the County to allow the creation of
new lots to rely on such easements for off-lot sewage systems. Mr. Caskey
stated staff also performed a survey of neighboring localities, specifically the
City of Chesapeake, James City County, City of Suffolk and York County,
all of which require lots to stand alone as a building site. Southampton

they do require every lotto double
County had no policy in place; however,
perk. The City of Virginia Beach requires that all lots be able to stand alone
although their subdivision ordinance does not address the issue of granting
drainfield easements outside the property .lines. Mr. Caskey stated he
would recommend to the Board that a policy or amendments be adopted
that would require that new lots be required to have those septic tanks and
drainfield systems located within the property lines of the individual lot.
In such instances where reserve drainfields are also required in the Bay
watershed .both the primary and reserve drainfield would have to be
located within the property boundary lines or else the plat would have to
be changed to allow more land- area or modified if it is an occurrence after
the County has approved it to .make the modification. .
Supervisor Bradshaw. noted the County is currently building the
Carrollton Elementary School on land that will not perk and therefore the
sewage will have to be hauled off.
Supervisor Cofer moved the matter be referred to the Planning
Commission for their recommendation. The motion was (4-1) adopted with
Supervisor Bradshaw voting in opposition to the motion.
Mr. Caskey stated the County routinely inspects borrow -pits to verify
status and relative compliance with County regulations. Mr. Caskey stated
the intent of the report in the Board's agenda is to identify the active and
inactive pits in the County and their status for the Board's information. Mr.
Caskey stated staff would provide a status report to the Board every six
months.
Mr. Casket' stated section 10-11-4.4 of the Count}~s Zoning Ordinance
was amended in 1988 to require that the e l lentrancestion~ar C skey stat d
pit be fenced with gates constructed at al
currently there are no specific standards that refer to fence types, height,
etc.. As a result, staff checked with neighboring localities to determine
whether or not they require mandatory fencing requirements. James City
County, Southampton County, Gloucester County and the City of Suffolk
have no mandatory requirements; York County requires asix-foot fence
around the borrow pit site consisting of a mesh, wire or other material to
be approved by the County; the City of Chesapeake requires asix-foot high
chain link anchor fencing; the City of Virginia Beach requires fencing when
it is deemed necessary by staff and when deemed necessary the fence is
expected to be a chain link type fence of six feet. The Virginia Department
of Mines, Minerals and Energy requires fencing of woven wire four feet in
height with three strands of barbedwire at all roads or openings which
individuals could enter or access the property. Mr. Caskey requested
direction from the Board and recommended that action be initiated to
amend the ordinance to incorporate some specific fencing standards and
whether fences will be required in all instances.
Supervisor Spady moved the Board refer the matter to the Planning
Commission for their recommendation. The motion was unanimously (5-0)
adopted.

Mr. Casket' stated the Board in January of 1993 approved the
amended operation plan for the Yeoman borrow pit which is adjacent to the
Camp-Kenney borrow pit on Route 10 subject to the conditions that the
sand operation at the adjoining Camp-Kenney borrow pit would cease by
April 1, 1993 and be fully reclaimed by September 1, 1993. At that time, it
was stipulated by the operator for the Camp-Rennet' pit that if they failed
to do so, then it would be cause for revocation of the permit for the
Yeoman pit. Mr. Casket' stated the operator of the Camp-Kenney pit has
submitted a request for asixty-day extension and has requested that the
sixty-day period be allowed beyond September 1,1993, the original closure
date.
Supervisor Spady stated during his recent visit he noted most of the
reclamation had been completed. The part of the reclamation which calls
for seeding has not been accomplished due to the dry weather and sixty
days would give them sufficient time to seed the site properly and bring it
into compliance. Supervisor Spady moved the Board approve the request
for asixty-day extension of time until November 1, 1993. The motion was
unanimously (5-0) adopted.
Mr. Casket' stated before the Board is a plat of Ashby Subdivision,
Phase I, located off Carrollton Boulevard, Route 17 in the Newport Election
and Magisterial Districts which is for the creation of nineteen lots to be
served by public streets, constructed to VDOT standards and a community
water system. Sewage disposal is proposed to be by means of individual
septic systems as approved by the Health Department. The Board of
. Supervisors approved the rezoning for this property in 1986 consisting of
a tract of land approximately 75 acres in size. In September of 1988 the
Board approved this same subdivision plat for Ashby Phase I and
subsequent to that action it was determined that the groundwater quality
contained levels of fluoride exceeding the minimum State and Federal
standards.. The developer then proceeded to develop a fluoride removal
process and the County entered into an agreement with the developer in
March of 1991 which stipulated until such time as the water system was
issued an operating permit required by the Department of Health that the
developer would be limited to certain conveyances for the subdivision
which was established at 14 lots. Currently there are 11 lots which have
been conveyed by the developer to individual property owners and 11 new
residential construction permits issued by the Inspections Division.
Following the execution of the agreement, the Subdivision Agent for the
County signed the subdivision plat, approved by the Board in 1988,
delineating 43 .lots to be platted as Ashby Subdivision, Phase I. The
developer approached the County and opted to modify the plat to record
only lots 20 through 43. Since that time the developer has approached the
Department of Community Development with the plat for approval and in
consideration of the .plat, staff had to apply the ordinance and Section 5-8
of the Subdivision Ordinance provides that once a subdivision plat is signed
by the subdivision agent the subdivider must record the subdivision plat
within six months; otherwise, it is null and void. The plat originally signed
depicting 431ots is null and void and the plat of record depicts only 24 lots.
The plat before. the Board .tonight is for lots 1 through 19 and requires
review and approval by the Board.

Supervisor Bradshaw stated this matter would be covered under the
Grandfather Clause because it was approved before,the County passed the
Chesapeake Bay Preservation Ordinance.
Mr. Caskey stated since the time of the prior action of the Board of
Supervisors the County has adopted several ordinances which apply to the
development of property. Because the plat can only be considered null and
void, as the Counts Agent, he has approached it from the standpoint that.
the plat is to be approved under the County's existing ordinances that are
in place today. The Planning Commission considered and discussed this
plat at their July meeting and voted unanimously to recommend approval
of the Subdivision plat to the Board subject to staff's recommendations
which are those specified in Bryan David's memorandum under Item 10
and which refer to incidental matters that need to be added or modified on
the plat.
County Attorney Crook stated the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area
Ordinance adopted by the County follows the Chesapeake Bay .Act and
limits somewhat what the County can do as far as "Grandfathering". The
language used in the Act and by the courts now is "vesting". The Act and
Ordinance do allow for vesting and certain criteria is set up. Technically,
it can be argued that the situation at hand does not meet -the criteria that is
in the Ordinance because there are such things involved as the plat being
recorded prior to the Act or Ordinance being adopted. In reviewing the
Attorney General's opinions and case law, it would be his recommendation
that the Board find the Ashby plat as presented by Mr. Caskey to be vested
as far as the ordinance of the County is concerned but that the owners
comply with the requirements of the. Ordinance to the maximum extent
feasible.
Supervisor Bradby moved the Board accept the recommendation of
the County Attorney that the Board find the Ashby plat vested as far as the
Ordinance of the County is concerned but that the owners comply with the
requirements of the Ordinance to the maximum extent feasible. The motion
was unanimously (5-0) adopted.
Mr. Caskey stated in July of 1993 the Board approved the contract and
appropriations to Johnson Circle in Bethlehem Terrace Subdivision. This
work has now been completed and he will meet. with the contractor on site
to verify the completion of the work. VDOT has been requested to submit
to the County an appropriate resolution for acceptance of the road into the
State's system.

Supervisor Cofer moved the Board amend the agenda to hear
comments from the Isle of Wight Tourism Bureau under the County
Administrator's section of the agenda. The motion was unanimously (5-0)
adopted.
Florine Moore, President, Isle of Wight Tourism Bureau, presented a
request for funding in the amount of $6,000 to accommodate three trolleys
11

anti a water taxi during the Parade of Homes event.
Supervisor Cofer moved the Board approve the $6,000 request to the
Isle of Wight Tourism Bureau from the contingency fund. The motion was.
unanimously (5-0) adopted.
//
At 8:11 p.m., Supervisor Cofer moved the Board take a recess. The
motion was unanimously (5-O) adopted.
//
At 8:20 p.m., upon to returning to open session, Chairman Edwards
called for the County Attorney's report.
County Attorney Crook requested Peter Andreu to explain the current
sewage situation for the Carrollton Elementary School.
Peter Andreu, the School Board's Program Manager on the school
construction project, stated when the drainfields were being installed at the
site for the Carrollton Elementary School the Health Department informed
him that the drainfields no longer tested out and several options were
considered, i.e., running a pump line to Benn's Church, utilizing adjoining
neighbors property which .could be time consuming, and prices for the
pump and haul of sewage. The Health Department stated a permit for such
is needed .and an agreement should be entered into with the Board of
Supervisors, State Health Department and the School Board. In the
meantime, the State Health Department had advised the redesign is good
and approved although it is not in writing to date.
Supervisor Bradshaw stated the soil originally would perk and now
the Health Department is saying it will not perk.
County Attorney Crook stated the soil was originally approved but
has now compacted. The question is why did the soil compact,. which will
have to be resolved. The amount of .water. per student set by the Health
Department was higher than necessary based on the flows for the existing
elementary school and this is why it is being revised so that the County
may not need as much drainfield as the Health Department was requiring.-
Hopefully this will be approved and the County will not need to pump and
haul; meanwhile, in order for the Health Department to approve it under
any circumstances because it is less than their requirements, they want a
pump and haul agreement in place. Mr. Crook stated he has prepared an
agreement which .needs to be signed by the Health Department, Board of
.Supervisors and School Board which states that if the drainfield does not
work then the Board of Supervisors and the School Board are guaranteeing
that they will pump and haul.
Mr. Andreu stated the cost would be .06 a gallon with a maximum of
4,000 gallons daily or $240 a day.

County Attorney Crook stated the County Administrator sent him a
letter requesting he prepare a lease agreement for Paul D. Camp
Community College for the erection of a communications tower at the
County-owned site for the new campus in Smithfield. Mr. Crook stated a
lease with the community college for the second floor of the building with
access and parking does not include any land area and that he needed a
specific land. area survey before he could proceed.
County Administrator Standish stated the college intends to install a
150 foot tower and satellite dish and the architect recently recommended a
site directly behind the building but he agreed with the County Attorney

Supervisor Spady moved the Board designate October 16, 1993 as
County-wide cleanup day. The motion was unanimously (5-0) adopted..
County Administrator Standish stated for the Board's information is
the cost of auditing the various fire departments .and rescue squads if
undertaken by the auditor currently working for the County. Mr. Standish
stated without evaluating each department's records, the auditors can only
estimate a cost of $2,000 to $3,000 per department.
Supervisor Spady stated this cost is too high because some of the
departments only have one or two transactions.
County Administrator Standish noted that $8,779.59 of delinquent
taxes has been collected by the attorneys at a cost of $4,118,02 to the County
for the past month. The cost represents 46.8% of the amount collected.
Supervisor Bradshaw requested the County Administrator to elaborate
on how the funds from the collection of delinquent taxes by the attorneys
are distinguished in the annual budget.
it
County Administrator Standish stated there is a revenue line item in
the County's budget for delinquent tax collections and whatever amount the
Treasurer may collect and whatever the delinquent tax collection attorneys
may collect go into a revenue line item.
County Attorney Crook stated the percentage of amount collected
probably increased for the past month because Mr. Windsor had a number
of court actions which requires time in court.
Chairman Edwards asked how much has been budgeted this year for
delinquent tax revenues.
County Administrator Standish stated he would provide a report on
delinquent tax revenues to the Board.
County Administrator Standish stated Congress has adopted the
Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 which takes effect this month. Mr.
Standish stated before the Board is a recommended amendment to the
County's existing Personnel Policy which is consistent with Federal law.
Supervisor Bradshaw stated it is against the law for the County to
offer its employees compensation time. Supervisor Bradshaw stated
employees are required by law to be paid and the County is breaking the
law by offering compensation time to its employees.
1
Supervisor Cofer asked County Administrator Standish on Section 58C
regarding leave without pay up to a maximum of sixty days, is this sixty
calendar or sixty work days? If it is sixty work days then there is really no
change because twelve work weeks and sixty work days are identical.
19

County Administrator Standish replied sixty work days.
Supervisor Spady suggested tabling the matter until the September 16,
1993 meeting to allow the County Attorney an opportunity to review the
proposed amendment.
County Administrator Standish stated because of the unemployment
rate in the County as compared to the State and nation, the County may be
eligible for designation as a "redevelopment area" under the EDA program

projects. Mr. Standish stated Neal Noyes of the Economic Development
Administration will be present at the September 16,1993 meeting to address
the matter.
County Administrator Standish reminded the Board of their invitation
to attend an appreciation dinner on August 28, 1993 at 4:00 p.m. with
demonstrations to be held at 3:00 p.m. at the Commonwealth Cotton Gin.
//
Chairman Edwards called for Old Business.
Chairman Edwards stated at the Public Service Authority meeting Mr.
Murphy indicated he believed legislation was passed in the 1993 session to
allow all localities to require new water-saving toilets in all new facilities.
Chairman Edwards moved the Board direct the County Attorney to look
into the legality of the County requiring water-saving toilets in new
construction and that he draw up an ordinance for the Planning
Commission's consideration. The motion was unanimously (5-0) adopted.
Chairman Edwards stated the Transportation Safety Committee
recently discussed that their members have not been receiving
compensation for their meetings and that their bylaws set out a fee.
Chairman Edwards stated he was requested to bring the matter to the
attention of the Board for their consideration.
County Attorney Crook stated he did review the Transportation Safety
Committee bylaws and did make changes when originally adopted. Mr.
Crook stated he did inform the members that they do not set their fees and
that they are paid by the County who. does set the. fee. The Board of
Supervisors has adopted a policy in the past to pay all boards, commissions
and committees $50 a meeting, not to exceed $50 a month.
Supervisor Cofer moved the Board pay the Transportation Safety
Committee $50 per person per meeting, not to exceed $50 per month out of
the Board's compensation line item. The motion passed (4-0) with
Chairman Edwards abstaining.

Supervisor Bradshaw stated on March 10,1993, Dr. York met with the
School Board and presented two plans. The first plan passed without going
to the Planning Commission Subcommittee and the other plan has not been
voted on which contains. schools for the Carrsville, Rushmere and Windsor
areas. Both plans were presented at the same time -and the Planning
Commission .Subcommittee had nothing to do with the first plan, nor do
they have anything to do with the second plan. Supervisor Bradshaw
stated if he had to he could act on the part of a citizen and go to the
Commonwealth Attorney and see what the courts will do. Supervisor
Bradshaw asked who carried the matter to the Subcommittee when there
was never a vote?
Supervisor Cofer stated the matter was presented to the Subcommittee
by the School Board.
1
County Attorney Crook stated this is part of the Capital
Improvements Plan for a total of six years, and they asked for input from
all of the departments including the School Board as to what. their plans
were and then they put it in the Capital Improvements Plan. This is why
the matter is before. the Capital Improvements Program Subcommittee of
the Planning Commission and -the Capital Improvements Plan is being
advertised for August 26, 1993 for public hearing and then the matter will
be forwarded on to the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Crook stated the County
has to have the school facilities in the Capital Improvements Plan in order
to accept proffers for school construction. Mr. Crook stated that of all .the
Board members Supervisor Bradshaw has been the member most concerned
about proffers. The County wants to make the proffers legal and in order
to do this the County must get the proposed capital improvements into. the
Capital Improvements Plan. The discussion Supervisor Bradshaw has read
from the newspapers centers around the Carrsville school and other
improvements being pushed back a year which is what Supervisor.
Bradshaw's primary concern is; however, he should not take issue with the
Planning Commission saying the matter is not for them to -pass. on. It is
input from the School Board to the Planning Commission to put in the
Capital Improvements Plan so that the Board of Supervisors can adopt the
Capital Improvements Plan.
Supervisor Bradshaw stated his part of the County would not be
sacrificed and, if need be, he would go to court to settle the. matter.
County Attorney Crook stated when the Capital Improvements Plan
was initiated last year they did not get. this proposal from the School Board.
The Board of Supervisors received that proposal in March of 1993 and the
Capital Improvements Plan was done August and September of 1992 and
the new Capital Improvements Plan is being done this August and
September of 1993.
J
Supervisor Bradshaw stated the other plan is not included in the
Capital Improvements Plan and he did not think the Plan was worth
anything because 40% of the taxes comes from his end of the County to pay
for all these schools.
21

Chairman Edwards stated that the Capital Improvements Plan will
come to the Board for their consideration.
County Attorney Crook stated the Board could accept the Plan as the
Planning Commission recommends it or the Board could make changes.
The County must have a Capital Improvements Plan and these facilities
must be included in the Plan, otherwise the County cannot have
development fees for improvements that are not in the Plan, he stated.
Supervisor Bradshaw stated he would not vote for the Capital
Improvements Plan because the Board has voted for Phase I in Smithfield
and now wants to juggle his school around. Supervisor Bradshaw stated
the Carrsville school will be started when the Windsor school is begun.
Supervisor Bradshaw stated the Subcommittee is even handling the
Recreational Authority which is against the law to interfere whatsoever with
Authorities.
County Attorney Crook stated this is not an interference with the
Recreational Authority. The request is what capital improvements does the
Authority want to include in the Plan so that the County can accept from
developers proffers to help pay for these things.
Supervisor Bradshaw stated the Authority and the Board of
Supervisors are two different operations and the Subcommittee has nothing
to do with an Authority.
County Attorney Crook stated not with the decision making.
Supervisor Bradshaw asked who referred. the matter to the
Subcommittee.
County Administrator Standish stated relative to Parks & Recreational
Facilities Authority and the Public Service Authority, he suggested the
Subcommittee invite the PSA and the Recreational Authority to present
their capital needs so they could get into the Six-Year Plan.
Supervisor Bradshaw stated to the County Administrator that he
works at the pleasure of the Board and it is none of his business to send
this matter to the Subcommittee.
Supervisor Bradby asked the status of the general reassessment efforts.
County Administrator Standish stated. Pearsons Appraisal Service has
arrived and is working in the field. They have had one meeting with the
Board of Assessors and he will provide a report to the Board on the status.
Luther Boone, Board of Real Estate- Assessors, stated Mr. Olsen and
he have not yet been contacted by the Commissioner of the Revenue.
