At the time this facility was completed, Albemarle was con- sidering the construction of a home to serve localities in this area and did not join in the capital but has been using the facilities on a contractural per diem basis. At times, the present facilities are crowded and space is not available to localities who are not part owners. In checking the need and in conferring with the State, it was felt that Albemarle and Charlottesville should attempt to buy into the home in Staunton rather than construct a facility in this area. The cost to buy in at ,this time would be S53,838.00. This would provide for expansion of the home when needed to assure facilities. After discussion, motion was of- fered by Mr. Yancey, seconded by Mr. Paulett, and unanimously carried, to "buy in" to the Shenandoah Valley Juvenile Detention Home, suspend rules with regard to second reading, and adopt the following resolution: BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, that S53,838.00 be and the same is hereby appro- priated to cover the cost of Albemarle County becoming a partici • - pating member of the Shenandoah Valley Juvenile Detention Home.

Clover advising that there is no provision for children attending private schools to have Drivers' Education although the parents of these children are liable for the same taxes as are other residents.
