//
Chairman Spady called for Item 1: Appointment of School Board
Member From Newport Election District.
County Attorney Crook stated the County approved a referendum for
School Board members to be appointed by the Board of Supervisors rather
than as previously done by a selection commission appointed by the court.
Mr. Crook further stated the representative's term for the Newport District
has expired and he has chosen not to seek reappointment. Mr. Crook
continued a public hearing was 11e1d by the Board at their June 16, 1994
meeting and nominations were received from the floor and Board which are
the only nominations that can be considered for appointment by the Board
at this time. Mr. Crook further stated the Board should now, by motion,
nominate and elect, by majority vote, a person from the Newport District
to serve afour-year term beginning July 1, 1994.
Supervisor Bradby moved the Board appoint George Alvin Bradby as
the Newport District representative.
Following Supervisor Bradby's motion, Chairman Spady stated he has
met with all three persons nominated for the Board's consideration who all
have excellent qualifications; however, he feels that he would have to
support Jim Ware for the nomination.
The motion passed (3-2) with Supervisors Bradby, Bradshaw and
Edwards voting in favor of the motion and Supervisor Cofer and Chairman
Spady voting against the motion.
George Alvin Bradby thanked the Board for appointing him stating
his primary objective will be to provide quality education for County

children. Mr. Bradby stated that while some of his decisions will not be
popular, they will be based on a better future for the public education of
the County.
//
Chairman Spady called for Item 2: Report on Boards and
Commissions.
County Administrator Standish stated the lists included in the agenda
are currently compensated and uncompensated boards, commissions, etc.
and excludes those appointed in ex-officio capacities and reflects County
residents appointed by the Board only. Mr. Standish stated the Equalization
Board reflects a compensated amount of $75 which was done in error and
should be listed at $50.
County Attorney Crook stated the County's current policy allows for
compensation at $50 per. meeting, not to exceed one meeting per month for
Board of Supervisors' appointees to all commissions, boards, committees,
etc. Mr. Crook stated that he believes $50 is fair compensation for the
Equalization and Reassessment Boards, which in the past few years were
increased to $75, but they should not be limited to one meeting per month,
as they are required to meet frequently.
Supervisor Bradshaw moved the Board continue the policy that all
such appointees to committees, commissions and boards appointed by the
Board be compensated at $50 per meeting, not to exceed one meeting per
month, with the exception of the Equalization and Reassessment Boards.
The motion was adopted unanimously (5-0).
//
Chairman Spady called for Item 3: Report on Industrial Park Project.
County Administrator Standish stated commercial ventures, which fall
under the category of "business" rather than industry, specifically architects,
surveyors and insurance, have expressed an interest in locating in the
County's Route 460 industrial. park. Mr. Standish stated the present zoning
is Conditional M-1 and should the Board favorably consider a mixed use
development, the matter should first be referred to the Planning
Commission and then the Board to amend the zoning to allow such
businesses in the .park.
Chairman Spady stated Wilroy Industrial Park in Suffolk appeared to
contain businesses that are not heavy industry, in addition to office
buildings with small warehouses located behind the buildings.
Responding to the County Administrator's question if Wilroy
Industrial Park contained any "B" zoning, Lynn P. Harris, Director of
Economic Development, replied no. Ms. Harris stated there are some
offices attached to warehousing, however, this request is for separate
entities that are apart from any manufacturing facility and would be self

contained.
Chairman Spady suggested Ms. Harris refer the requesk for zoning
amendment to the Industrial Development Authority and their design
consultant.
Supervisor Edwards stated the Board previously represented to
concerned citizens that the Route 46U industrial park would not contain
heavy industry and he does not believe any of these citizens would have a
concern with this type of amendment to the conditional zoning.
//
Chairman Spady called for Item 4: Social Services Funding.
Linda Bean, Director of Social Services, stated Social Services has
succeeded in FY1993-94 in receiving $161,843 in additional State and Federal
dollars. As a result of these additional allocations, Mrs. Bean stated Social
Services is able to unobligate approximately $100,000 to be returned to the
general fund.
.Supervisor Bradshaw moved that the Board amend the Social Services
budget for FY1994-95 to allocate an additional $22,264 in local funds to the
Social Services budget.

considered aone-time occurrence and if the funds are not available next
