eoeK 18 ~A~~~4fi
Rountree .requested that any interested Board member desiring a full copy of
the report to notify him.
Responding to a previous request made by Carolyn Sternberg-Jackson
concerning water rates for the residents of Springdale Apartments, Mr.
Rountree presented three (3) options for the Board's consideration should
they wish to make an adjustment in the water rates. The. options are as
follows: 1) make no changes to the current billing procedure, 2) the
Department of Fublic Utilities cease reading the individual meters and read
only the .master meter with water charged at $31.50 plus $2.00 per 1,000
gallons for all water in excess of 3,000 gallons per month and, 3) the
existing water ordinance be amended to provide for a master meter rate
(bulk rate) with a lower minimum per unit (example $10.00 rather than
$20.00) since the County does not own and maintain the onsite water lines.
Supervisor Spady requested Mr. Rountree investigate the billing
method used at the Smithfield Assisted Living Facility (i.e., master meter)
and report back to the Board on his findings.

the Director of Public Utilities to draft an appropriate ordinance .following

Mr. Rountree. stated the Western .Tidewater Water Authority,. at its
September 18, 1998 meeting, directed its Technical Committee and Finance
Committee to investigate and make recommendations regarding the most
expedient method for extending water to the Northern Development Service
District of the County. The .recommendation was that the Authority run
mains from the Chuckatuck water treatment plant located in Suffolk, then
westward across the Chuckatuck Creek and parallel to Carrollton Boulevard
to an elevated water tank to be constructed in the Bartlett area. Because the
Authority is not in a position to fund this project, it was decided that the
County would fund the design portion of the line from Chuckatuck Creek up
to Sugar Hill Road. The City of Suffolk would design the portion of the line
from the end of Crittenden Road across the Chuckatuck Creek and tie into
that line. Bath of those expenditures. would become .loans back. to the
Authority to be reimbursed and constructed by the Authority. Mr. Rountree
requested that the Board authorize the design of the additional 8,300 feet of
pipe from Sugar Hill Road to the Chuckatuck Creek and appropriate
$77,600 from the County's $14,250,000 bond issue to cover the design as a
loan to the Authority.
Supervisor .Spady moved the Board authorize the design of
approximately 8,300 feet of water main from Sugar Hill Road to the
Chuckatuck .Creek under the "time is of the essence" provision of the State
Code: The .motion was adopted as follows: Cofer, Bradby, Claud,

County Administrator Caskey .presented a request from the
Superintendent of the Western Tidewater Regional Jail .regarding a
resolution which was forwarded to other participating localities outlining
support that the General Assembly repeal the reduction in Compensation
Board funding to regional jails.
Supervisor Spady moved the Board adopt the following resolution:
RESOLUTION TO REQUEST THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY REPEAL
LEGISLATION TO REDUCE COMPENSATION BOARD FUNDING FOR
REGIONAL JAILS
WHEREAS, the Western Tidewater Regional Jail Authority has
entered into contracts with the U. S. Marshall's Service to house inmates at
the Regional Jail when the Jail has bed space that is not being used for local
inmates or State inmates; and,
WHEREAS, the purpose. of renting excess beds is simply to reduce the
significant appropriations each of the participating localities are required to
make toward the operation of the Regional Jail, even considering the
contribution that the Commonwealth makes toward- local correctional needs
through Compensation Board funding and to increase cost effectiveness and
maximize the utilization of existing facilities; and,
WHEREAS, the General Assembly has adopted legislation in .the
Appropriations Act ~~hich requires regional jails to share such revenue with
the Commonwealth through a reduction in Compensation Board funding, the
effect of which is to reduce Compensation Board funding to the Regional
Jail by hundreds of thousands of dollars; and,
WHEREAS, the participating localities believe that the Regional Jail's
Compensation Board funding should not be reduced due to the fact that the
subsequent reduction in local appropriations is much mare significant to the
localities than it into the Commonwealth, because the Compensation Board
would pay the same. amount toward local correctional costs regardless of
whether any beds were rented to the federal government, and all inmates
benefit from additional revenue; .and,
WHEREAS, the participating localities are going to need this
additional revenue ever.- more when the Regional Jail opens another cell
block paid for by the localities, since their local.contributions are expected
to increase due to the requirement to pay for their share of the debt service.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT AND IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the
Board of Supervisors of the County of Isle of Wight, Virginia that the
County's General Assembly delegation be requested to introduce language in
the 1999 Session of the General Assembly to remove the reduction in
8

excess bed space to the federal government.
The motion was adopted as follows: Cofer, Bradby, Claud, Bradshaw

Sheriff C. W. Phelps, requested the Board's assistance in providing
funding for the burial of human remains found in the Jones Creek area.

her review, Ms: Seward notified the County Administrator that there would
be $500 available from the General Relief Program, administered by the
Department of Social Services, and that the Sheriff could make application
to receive these funds. Sheriff Phelps requested the Board direct him as to
what action he should take to acquire necessary funds to bury the remains.
Supervisor Spady moved the Board authorize the Sheriff to .negotiate
with a vendor for the burial of the remains not to exceed $2,825. Such funds
are to come from the contingency fund. The motion was adopted as follows:

0); none voting against.

Supervisor Bradshaw moved that the Board direct staff to work with
the Commissioner of the Revenue to develop a plan which includes a cost
comparison of all options, how the County can implement the in-house plan,
what other localities are doing in this regard and that such plan be for a two
(2) year period for reassessments. The motion was adopted as follows:
