Item 5.1a. Appropriation: Equitable Law Enforcement Funds, $38,018.24
(Form ~940027) and $22,208.37 (Form #930085).
(The Executive Summary states that several years ago, in a cooperative
effort, Federal, State and Local law enforcement agencies established a
program where the proceeds resulting from disposition of confiscated assets
would be shared by agencies involved in the investigation. The guidelines for
use of funds from the Equitable Sharing Program must be used for law enforce-
ment purposes to enhance law enforcement and cannot be used to supplant local
funds for the operating budget. Currently funds from prior years, in the
amount of $34,726.42 (Federal) and $560.14 (State) , plus $2,731.68 from the
current year, totalling $38,018.24, are available in this fund. To make these
funds available for expenditure for law enforcement purposes, staff recommends
approval of the appropriation as detailed on From #940027. Staff, also,
recommends approval of the appropriation as detailed on Form #930085 for
expenditures in FY 1993/94.)
By the above recorded vote, the Board adopted the following Resolution of

Item 5.lb. Appropriation: Volunteer Fire Departments, $2,622.76 (Form
$940028).
(The Executive Summary indicates that State funds from the Fire Service
Program are received by the County on an annual basis to assist with fire
protection. It has been the policy of the County to distribute these funds to
the volunteer fire companies on an equal basis. The FY 1994-95 budget
projected $66,010 to be distributed to the volunteer fire companies. Actual
receipts from the State of $68,632.76 exceed the appropriation by $2,622.76.
This amount, when distributed equally to the volunteer fire companies, would
provide additional funds of $374.68 to each company. Staff recommends
approval of Appropriation $940028 in the amount of $2,662.78.)

Item 5.lc. Appropriation: CPS Prevention Grant, $14,045 (Form
$940029) .
(The Executive Summary states that Whitewood Village is an assisted rental
project developed under the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Program in 1986.
The project consists of 88 two-bedroom apartments and eight one-bedroom apart-
ments. Currently, 83.9 percent of the units are occupied by single female
heads of households, with the majority having children under the age of
eleven. A total of 115 residents are children. One unit is occupied by the
full-time resident manager. When Whitewood Village was constructed, there was
no consideration given to the provision of recreational areas or an interior
meeting space. To alleviate the problem, management filled in an in-ground
swimming pool to create a small play area for young children. This lot is not
suitable for older children and creating an exterior meeting place is next to
impossible on the property.
During the past five years, an increase in drug use and related activity
has occurred. This has been documented through observation by management and
residents, reports from law enforcement, social service and mental health
agencies. To address the needs of families in Whitewood Village, the Depart-
ment of Social Services applied for secured funding from the Federal Child
Abuse & Prevention Grant funds. Staff recommends approval of Appropriation
$940029 in the amount of $14,045.00 from Federal Grant funds.)
By the above recorded vote, the Board adopted the following Resolution of
Appropriation as set out in Form $940029:
FISCAL YEAR: 94/95

Item 5.1d. Appropriation: Route 2.50 East Landscaping, $31,834 (Form
~940030).
(The Executive Summary states that the FY 1994/95 CIP included funding to
landscape the widened segment of Route 250 East from the eastern City limits
to the Route 64 interchange. Pursuant to an agreement with VDoT, the State
will share in this project with their share not to exceed $44,234. The FY
1994/95 CIP included the County's share of this project, however, since the
County will be managing the entire project, the State's share of the project
is required to be appropriated. This additional appropriation will be offset
by recognition of revenue in an equal amount representing the State's reim-
bursement. It has also been determined that the County's share of the entire
project can be covered from the available revenue sharing project appropria-
tion and that the separate appropriation for this project in the amount of
$12,400 is unnecessary. It is recommended that this money be returned to the
CIP fund at this time. Staff recommends approval of Appropriation #940030 in
the amount of $31,834 for Route 250 East landscaping costs.)
By the above recorded vote, the Board adopted the following Resolution of

Item 5.2. Library Board Appointment.
(The Executive Summary states that Ms. Donna Selle, Director of the
Jefferson Madison Regional Library, has requested that Ms. Cyndy Caughron, an
Albemarle County appointee to the Library Board, be allowed to remain on the
Board until the expiration of her term on June 30, 1997. Although Ms.
Caughron has recently moved to the City, Ms. Selle wishes her to continue to
serve on the Board due to her position as Vice President, as well as having
primary responsibility on the Board for budget development. At this time, the
position opening has been advertised along with other Board and Commission
vacancies with the idea that Ms. Caughron would be allowed to continue her
tenure on the Library Board through June 30, 1995. This will give her the
opportunity to finish out the fiscal year with the Library and to have a
County resident appointed to fill the remaining two years of her term begin-
ning July 1, 1995. There will also be a second Albemarle Trustee appointed to
the Library Board in June, 1995. Unless the Board feels otherwise, staff will
advise Ms. Selle that Ms. Caughron may remain on the Board as a County
appointee until June 30, 1995.)
By the above recorded vote, the Board agreed to allow Ms. Cyndy Caughron
tO remain on the Library Board as the County appointee until June 30, 1995.
Item 5.3. Statement of Expenses for the month of October, 1994, for the
Department of Finance, Sheriff, Commonwealth's Attorney, Regional Jail and
Clerk, Circuit Court, were approved by the above recorded vote.
Item 5.3a. Resolution of Intent to set a public hearing to amend and
reordain Chapter 10.1, Law Enforcement, of the County Code, relative to
disposition of unclaimed personal property in possession of law enforcement
agencies~
(The Executive Summary indicates that this request is to amend Chapter
10.1 (a) by authorizing the Police Department or Sheriff's Department to
convert unclaimed property for department use. This ordinance also amends
Chapter 10.1 by adding section (E) which permits that any bicycle or moped
which has been in the possession of the Police Department or Sheriff's
Department~ unclaimed for more than thirty (30) days, to be sold at public
auction or donated to a charitable organization, at the discretion of the
Police Department or Sheriff's Department. The amendment to Chapter 10.1 "Law
Enforcement" is necessary to bring the County Code in line with the Virginia
State Code 15.1-133.01 (1950) as amended. Staff recommends approval of a
resolution of intent to hold a public hearing to consider amending and
reordaining Chapter 10~1 "Law Enforcement" on December 7, 1994.)
By the above recorded vote, the Board set a public hearing for December 7,
1994, to consider amending and reordaining Chapter 10.1, Law Enforcement, of
November 16, 1994 (Regular Night Meeting)
(Page 4)

Item 5.10. Memorandum dated November 14, 1994, from Mr. Robert W. Tucker,
Jr., County Executive, to the Board of Supervisors, re: Building Permit
Review, was received for information.
Agenda Item No. 6. Request from the Crozet Park Board for funding
assistance for new swimming facility.
Mr. Tucker said Crozet Park is making a formal request of the Board to
assist in the funding of a new swimming facility. The total cost of the new
facility is estimated at $330,000. The request for County assistance is in
the amount of $230,000. On August 3, 1994, the Park Board appeared before
this Board and presented a preliminary pool replacement study and made an
unspecific request for County assistance. In that presentation the Park Board
indicated that a new pool would cost approximately $300,000 and that the Park
Board had a $100,000 replacement fund. The Park Board also indicated a
willingness to borrow another $100,000 and seek grants from other agencies and
foundations. As a result of this preliminary report the Parks and Recreation
Department put in a capital improvements request for a total of $100,000,
spread over the next two years, to be considered along with the other County
funding priorities. The Park Board has now completed its' pool replacement
study.
The Crozet Pool is the only swimming pool open to the general public in
the County. The pool is facing its 35th season and is in serious need of
replacement. The Park Board has analyzed the option of renovating the
existing pool. The renovation estimate is $230,00 and due to structural
defects, the renovation would carry no warranty. In addition, the renovation
would have a limited life span of five to ten years even if no unforseen
problems developed. The Park Board believes the most reasonable option is to
replace the existing facility. A new pool would have an estimated life span
of 30 to 40 years.
The replacement plan includes relocating the pool and filling the old pool
site. The new facility would include a 25 yard by 25 meter pool with a 30
foot by 30 foot diving well. Also included would be a 200 square foot wading
pool and a new bathhouse. The Park Board envisions that a pool bubble
enclosure would be added in the future. The cost of $330,000 includes $20,000
for the foundation of the future enclosure. The bubble enclosure foundation
for a Harrisonburg pool was $45,000. It is estimated that the Park Would save
$25,000 by installing the footings for the foundation when the pool is being
built. In 1994, the annual operating costs of the Park pool exceeded revenues
by $13,642. It is anticipated that this operating deficit will be reduced
substantially with a new pool due to arinual savings for pool paint, chemicals
and water. The Park Board would continue to cover annual operating costs with
revenues from pool usage and other Park activities.
Mro Tucker said in 1986, the County formally recognized the recreational
importance of Crozet Park and entered into a restrictive covenant agreement
with the Park Board on the parcel of Park property which did not include the
swimming pool. Since that time the County has invested over $100,000 in non
swimming related improvements at the Park and has been responsible for the
routine mowing and trimming of the Park grounds. This agreement allowed the
Park Board to put all of their financial resources toward the swimming
(Page 5)
operation and allowed the Park Board to retire an existing debt for previous
swimming pool repairs. The Park Board acknowledges the past support by the
Board of Supervisors and seeks continued collaboration to help meet the needs
of Western Albemarle as a designated growth area. The 1994 swim season
registered approximately 8,000 visitors at the pool. The Crozet Gators Swim
Team registered 105 swimmers, a 30 percent increase over two years ago. In
comparison, Mint Springs Park had about 18,000 visitors during the 1994 swim
season.
With this request from Crozet Park the County must examine its philosophy
on providing funding for swimming facilities. Because the Crozet Park pool
has been operated as a public pool for so many years, and has built up a
considerable clientele, the closing of such a facility would be a significant
loss to the residents of Western Albemarle. This is a unique situation in
the County, because Crozet Park Pool is the only existing pool that is open to
the general public. Even though the 1986 restrictive covenant agreement
provided no direct funding for the pool, the major intent behind it was to
find a way to keep the pool open without direct support. It is recommended if
the Board decides to work with Crozet Park in developing a mutually agreeable
and feasible funding plan, that the restrictive covenant agreement be expanded
to pertain to the entire Crozet Park property.
Mr. David Anhold, a member of the Park Board and the committee that
prepared the study on the Crozet Park Pool, addressed the Board. He intro-
duced Mrs. Kathy Hall and Mr. Larry Davis, also members of the committee. He
asked the persons present in support of the Park to stand (approximately 45
people stood). Mr. Anhold said the Crozet Park Board has been in existence
for more than 35 years; a small group of people who have taken it upon
themselves to meet County recreational demands. The Park is a legacy of hard
work and commitment from many people trying to meet the recreational demands
of Crozet and the County. Over the years the main recreational mission of the
Park has been to provide public pool swimming. The pool is the cornerstone of
the Park. This is the only public pool in the County. The Park caters to
families, there is an active swim team and the pool is used for many social
activities; i.e., pool parties, school functions and County programs. Crozet
is a town and one of the cornerstones of the town in Claudius Crozet Park.
Crozet is a growth area and a pool is an amenity that attracts people to the
community.
Mr. Anhold said it makes sense to replace the pool, given the cost to
renovate the existing facility, the fact that unforeseen structural problems
may occur during the project and there is no guarantee after spending the
$200,000 to renovate the pool. The Park Board is not coming to this Board
empty-handed. The Park consists of 22 acres of land. The Park Board will
contribute $100,000 towards to the cost of the project. The Park Board will
manage and maintain the replacement pool for the next 35 years at no cost to
the County. This money will be well-spent.
Mr. Marshall commented that the swimming pool is a long way from southern
Albemarle, but he strongly supports the request and thinks the other Board
members should also support it.
Mrs. Humphris offered motion, seconded by Mr. Martin, that the Board
receive this request from the Crozet Park Board and table a decision pending a
recommendation from the CIP Technical Review Committee at such time as it can
be reviewed in light of all CIP requests. Roll was called and the motion
carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Mr. Perkins, Mrs. Thomas, Mr. Bowerman, Mrs. Humphris, Mr. Marshall and
Mr. Martin.
NAYS: None.
Agenda Item No. 7. SP-94-25. James & Becky Johnston.
Motion was offered by Mr. Martin, seconded by Mrs. Thomas, to defer

P72(part). Rivanna Dist. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on October 31 and
November 7, 1994.)
Mr. Keeler summarized the staff's report which is on file in the Clerk's
office and a part of the permanent record of the Board. When this item was
first reviewed, staff was unable to recommend favorable because of some
unresolved access and circulation issues. The Commission deferred the
application. The applicant made several changes to the plan and when it was
presented to the Commission again, staff recommended approval. The Planning
Commission at its meeting on November 1, 1994, unanimously recommended
approval of SP-94-29 subject to one condition. Mr. Keeler noted that this use
is consistent with the general Pantops area.
The Chairman opened the public hearing. Mr. Steve Melton, representing
the applicant, said he will answer any questions Board members may have. The
applicant is in agreement with staff's recommendation and all of the problems
have been worked out. There being no other comments, the public hearing was
closed.
Motion was offered by Mr. Martin, seconded by Mrs. Humphris, to approve
SP-94-29 subject to the following condition recommended by the Planning
Commission:
1. The site shall be developed in general accord with the prelim-
inary site plan identified as sheet 2 of "Site Development
Plan Showing Guaranty Savings and Loan Pantops, Tax Map 78,
Parcel 72, Rivanna Magisterial District, Albemarle County,
Virginia" and further~identified as "Presented to Planning
Commission November 1, 1994, initialed YAH.
Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Mr. Perkins, Mrs. Thomas, Mr. Bowerman, Mrs. Humphris, Mr. Marshall and
Mr. Martin.
NAYS: None.
Agenda Item No. 10a. Appropriation: Health Department, $23,500 (Form
~940031).
Mr. Tucker said although the expansion of ~he Thomas Jefferson Health
District facility is nearly complete, several project needs, which were
included in the original renovation plan, have not been completed due to lack
of funds at the close of the project. The Health Department has requested
that the County and City appropriate the additional funds at this time in
order to complete the project and to take advantage of some cost savings that
will occur if the work is done now. The County's share would be $15,000. The
second part of the request is to repave the parking lots which are in bad
shape due to the construction. This request was originally submitted for the
FY 1995-96 CIP for $30,000, or a County cost of $15,000. However, if the City
includes this project with their contract for several other paving jobs, there
will be a substantial savings. The cost to the County to repave right now
will be $8,500. Mr. Tucker said proposed funding for the repaying is from the
CIP fund balance, using approved FY 1994-95 funds for the Western Albemarle
crossing project that were not needed.
Mr. Tucker said staff recommends approval of Appropriation #940031 in the
amount of $23,500, $15,000 to complete the Health Department expansion and
renovation project and $8,500 to repave the parking lot.
Motion was offered by Mrs. Humphris, seconded by Mr. Martin, to adopt the
following Appropriation of Resolution as set out in Form #940031. Roll was
called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Mr. Perkins, Mrs. Thomas, Mr. Bowerman, Mrs. Humphris and Mr. Martin.

Agenda Item No. 12. Other Matters Not Listed on the Agenda from the
BOARD.
Mr. Tucker said several months ago the Emergency Operations Center
presented its building request and design features to the Board. At that time
he had indicated that the University of Virginia was considering donating
property to the City and County for the new facility. One of the small
parcels involved that is located near the Route 250 ramp is zoned HC, Highway
Commercial. The remainder of the property is zoned R-l, Residential. The HC
property needs to be downzoned to R-1. In the Zoning Ordinance whenever there
is commercial or industrial property adjacent to residential or agricultural
property, there is a 50 foot setback along those properties from the R-1
district. The zoning needs to be changed due to the setback requirements and
the need to have the same zoning on both parcels. The University Board of
Visitors confirmed that the Board adopt a resolution of intent to rezone Tax
Map 60, Parcel 35 from HC, Highway Commercial, to R-i, Residential. This is
starting the process and would not require the University to pay the filing
fee and go through an application process since it is donating the property.

following Resolution of Intent:
