Ralph Dammann. Petition for a Home Occupation Class B on 11.220 acres zoned A-1. Located approximately 400 feet east of Route 20 and approx- imately two miles northeast of Eastham. Tax Map 63, Parcel 30 C. Rivanna District. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on September 3 and September 10, 1980.) Mr. Tucker read the planning staff report as follows: Request: Home Occupation: Class B Acreage: 11.22 acres Zoning: A-1 Agriculture Location: Property, described as Tax Map 63, Parcel 30C, is located on an access road on the east side of Route 20 North approximately 1/4 mile north of Route 610. Character of the Area: tract. Other properties in the area are larger than this Staff Comment: The applicant proposes to construct an 800 square foot woodworking shop with additional storage area in a low area of the property. The applicant's occupation is cabinetry and general wood- working for residential remodeling/new construction, therefore most work would be off-site (on-site work would be equivalent to about one out of four work days). Machinery would consist of a table saw, planer, shaper, radial arm saw, and various hand tools. The applicant would have .two employees. Delivery of materials would occur about once per month. Staff opinion is that this use would not be objec- tionable to the area and recommends approval subject to: Compliance with Section 16-44.1 Home Occupation: Zoning Ordinance; Class B of the 2. Building Official and Fire Official approvals. Mr. Tucker noted that the Planning Commission at its meeting of September 9, 1980, added a third condition stating "no retail sales on premises without Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation approval of commercial entrance." Mr. Fisher asked if the third condition would allow the applicant the right to retail sales if a commercial entrance is approved by the Highway Department. Mr. Tucker said he felt the applicant would have the right to retail sales. Mr. Fisher declared the public hearing open, and first to speak was Mr. Ralph Dammann, who said the staff report was very accurate, and that it is not his main desire to have retail sales from this location. Mr. Dammann said if there are any retail sales, they will be scraps sold through newspaper advertisements. He added that he envisioned no traffic problems whatsoever. Mr. St. John said a Class B Home Occupation carries the right to sell products that are handcrafted on the premises. September 17~ 1980 (Regular Night Meeting) No one else wished to speak either for or against this petition, and Mr. Fisher declared the public hearing closed. Motion was offered by Dr. Iachetta to approve SP-80- 47 with the recommended by the Planning Commission.

(Advertised in the Daily Progress on September 3 and September 10, 1980.) Mr. Tucker read the planning staff report as follows: Request: Home Occupation Class B Acreage: 6.0 acres Zoning: A-1 Agriculture Location: Property, described as Tax Map 44, Parcel 21, part, is located on the south side of Route 676 approximately two miles from Route 743. Character of the Area: This property is currently vacant. perties in the area are generally large parcels. Other pro- Staff Comment: The applicant is involved in radio/television programs and is making this request in order to employ one telephone secretary in his home. Staff opinion is that this use would not be incompatible to the area and recommends approval subject to compliance with Section 16-44.1 Home Occupation Class B of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Tucker noted that the Planning Commission at its meeting of September 9, 1980 unanimously recommended approval of this request subject to compliance with Section 16- 44.1 Home Occupation, Class B of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Fisher declared the public hearing opened, and first to speak was Mrs. William S. Ray who indicated she was agreeable to the condition. There being no one else to speak, Mr. Fisher declared the public hearing closed. Motion was offered by Mr. Lindstrom to approve this special permit as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Dr. Iachetta and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and McCann. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Miss Nash. Agenda Item No. 6. SP-80-54. James E. and Pearl Washington. Petition for a Home Occupation Class B on 3.220 acres zoned A-1. Located on the west side of Route 616, approximately one mile southeast of Keswick. Tax Map 80, Parcel 87A. Rivanna District. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on September 3 and September 10, 1980.) Mr. Tucker read the Planning staff report as follows: Request: Home Occupation Class B Acreage: 3·22 acres Zoning: A-1 Agriculture Location: Property, described as Tax Map 80, Parcel 87A, is located on the east side of Route 616 approximately one mile south of Route 22. Character of the Area: Several single-family dwellings on small lots exist in the area. The applicant proposes to locate a workshop between the dwelling and road. Staff Comment: The applicant proposes a repair shop of less than 1200 square feet primarily for small engine repair, though some auto repair would occur. There would be no employees, no gasoline sales, and no auto body work. Staff opinion is that, due to the scale of the operation, this use would not be incompatible to the area, provided limitations are placed on the auto repair aspect. Staff recommends approval subject to the following conditions: Except as otherwise provided in these conditions, compliance with Section 16-44.1 Home Occupation: Class B of the Zoning Ordinance; 2. No auto body work or gasoline sales shall be permitted; Not more than two vehicles awaiting repair/return shall be parked outdoors on the property at any one time; 4. No outside storage of parts including junk parts; September 17, 1980 (Regular Night Meeting~ 5. Buiiding Official and Fire Official approval; 6. Staff approval of site plan and landscape/buffer plan. Mr. Tucker noted that the Planning Commission at its meeting of September 9, 1980, unanimously voted to recommend approval of this request with the addition of the following~ two conditions: ~ 7.No person other than members of the family residing on the premises be engaged in such occupation; 8. No retail sales on premises without Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation approval of commercial entrance. Mr. Tucker noted that the Planning Commission was undecided whether or not the appli- cant had properly applied under the Zoning Ordinance, since this application resembles that of a public garage; the Commission attempted to set conditions which would accomm- odate the application. Mr. Tucker said he met with the Highway Department regarding the entrance to the property. He said the Highway Department has recommended using the southern most entrance to this property and closing the northern most entrance; also that a commercial entrance should be required if any additional traffic is anticipated. Mr. Fisher asked about the location of the proposed workshop regarding setback and appearance. Mr. Tucker said there are several structures on the property and he was not sure if an already existing structure was to be used for the workshop or if a new struc- ture was to be constructed. Mr. Fisher then decl~red the public hearing opened, and first to speak was Mr. James E. Washington. Mr. Washington said he plans to operate a small engine shop, that is for lawn mowers, tractors, saws, etc., and that it will be pick up and delivery. Mr. Fisher asked Mr. Washington if he intended to build a new structure for this proposed workshop. Mr. Washington said it would be a new structure along side his home. Mr. Fisher then asked what the approximate setback~would be. Mr. Washington said about 200 feet from the road and that he would be removing some of the other structures. There being no one else present wishing to speak either for or against this appli- cation, Mr. Fisher declared the public hearing closed. Motion was offered by Mr. Lindstrom, seconded by Dr. Iachetta, to accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission and approve this special permit with the eight conditions as stated. Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: NAYS: ABSENT: Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and McCann. None. Miss Nash. Agenda Item No. 7. SP-80-51. Lester Rice. Petition for a public garage on 0.508 acres zoned A-1. Located on the north side of Route 250 East approximately 3/4 mile southeast of Royal Acres at the intersection of Routes 250 and 744. Tax Map 80, Parcel 59C. Rivanna District. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on September 3 and September 10, 1980.) Mr. Tucker read the planning staff report as follows: Request: Public garage (Section 2-1-24(12) Acreage: 0.508 Zoning: A-1 Agriculture Location: Property, described as Tax Map 80, Parcel 59C, is located at the intersection of Routes 250 East and 744. Character of the Area: This site is the former location of Kingrea Enter- prises and has been used for a variety of uses. Three gas pumps exist as well as a garage-type building. Two dwellings are located directly behind the site. Staff Comment: The applicant proposes the public garage to consist of gasoline sales, auto part sales, and auto repair. Nobody work or painting is~proposed. Likewise, because of height restrictions in the structure, no grease rack or lift is proposed. The applicant would have two employees. Generally, staff has recommended that uses of this nature be located in growth areas shown in the Comprehensive Plan. In this case, however, staff recommends approval for the following reasons: Commercial usage of this property has been long term. No building expansion is proposed. The gasoline pumps exist; No other garage offering repair service is located in the area. Located on a primary highway, this garage would provide service to the traveling public as well as local residents; Staff opinion is that this use would not be incompatible to the area and may be an improvement over existing conditions. _ Staff recommends approval subject to the following conditions: Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation review and approval of entrance; i September 17~ 1980 (Regular Night Meeting) 2. No outside storage of parts including junk parts; Removal of vending machines, bus, and other abandoned materials within 60 days of Board approval of this petition; Building Official and Fire Official approval of use of building as a commercial garage; Fire Official approval of gasoline pumps for reuse; Health Department approval of adequacy of existing drainfield; and 7. Staff approval of landscape plan for site. Mr. Tucker noted that the Planning Commission, at its meeting of September 9, 1980, by a vote of 4 to 2, recommended that this request be approved with the first six co- nditions recommended by the staff but changed condition seven to read: "Planning Com- mission approval of site plan." Mr. Ralph Main, an attorney representing t~e applicant., requested the Board to allow the Planning Staff to approve the site plan administratively,'rather than having the site plan presented at public session to the Planning Commission.- Mr. Main explained that Mr. Rice has been forced to close his business because of the sale of the property by the owner, and an administrative approval of the site plan would facilitate his business opening at the new site. Mr. Main said a fence will be c.onstructed to screen the cars awaiting repair. No one else from the public wished to speak either for or against this request, and Mr. Fisher declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Lindstrom asked how long Mr. Rice would have to wait for Planning Commission approval. Mr. Tucker said sixty days, since Mr. Rice just missed the filing date for next month's meeting. Mr. Fisher said he has only one problem with Mr. Main's request. He understands that Mrs. Norma Diehl of the Planning Commission, has specifically requested that this site plan be brought back before the Commission. He recommended possibly things could be expedited and it could be placed on the next Planning Commission agenda. Motion was offered by Mr. Lindstrom to accept the recommendations of the Planning Department to approve this petition with the seven conditions listed; in regard to con- dition seven, the Planning Department should submit the site plan to the Planning Com- mission at its next scheduled meeting after submittal of said plan to the staff. The motion was seconded by Dr. Iachetta. Mr. Fisher said due to the unusual situation, he would support the motion. Roll was then called, and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: NAYS: ABSENT: Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and McCann. None. Miss Nash. Agenda Item No. 8. Set public hearing date on an ordinance to amend and reenact Section 8-1.4(a) of the Albemarle County Code. Mr. Agnor summarized a memorandum from Mr. Ray Jones, Director of Finance, and proposed wording for this ordinance as follows: "The Code of Virginia (Section 58-847) was amended in the 1980 Session of General Assembly to provide a 10% interest on delinquent property taxes. The County Code (Section 8-1.4) designates 8%. The following ordinance has been prepared by the County Attorney to make the County Code comparable to the State Code. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING AND REENACTING SECTION 8-1.4(a) OF THE ALBEMARLE COUNTY CODE TO INCREASE INTEREST ON UNPAID TAXES TO TEN PERCENT PER ANNUM COMMENCING ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH FOLLOWING THE MONTH IN WHICH SUCH TAXES ARE DUE BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, that Section 8-1.4(a) of the Albemarle County Code is amended and reenacted to provide for interest on delinquent taxes at a rate of ten percent per annum, commencing on the first day of the month following the month in which such taxes are due: Sec. 8-1.4. Penalty; interest date and manner of payment. (a) Taxes due and owing to the county for real estate, tangible personal property, and machinery and tools shall be due and payable in one installment on or before the fifth day of December of the year such taxes are assessed; and on all such taxes remaining unpaid after that date there shall be added (i) a penalty equal to ten percentum of the amount of tax past due and (ii) interest thereon at the rate of e~g~ ten percentum per annum commencing the following first day of ~ the month following the month in which such. taxes are due, and continuing until paid. Dr. Iachetta said the main change is that the 8% interest is now 10% interest after one month delinquent until the tax is paid. Mr. Agnor said that was correct. Mr. Fisher said the Virginia Association of Counties had tried to convince the legislature to tie the interest on delinquent taxes to the prime rate, but things, did not get approved the way he had hoPed. Motion was then offered by Mr. Lindstrom, seconded by Dr. Iachetta, to set October 8, 1980, as the date of public hearing for this proposed ordinance. Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and McCann. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Miss Nash. September~ular Ni~ 28, Agenda Item No. 9. Lottery Permit--Woman's Club of Crozet. Mr. Agnor said the- Crozet Women's Club has requested a raffle on December 13, 1980, in order to gain funds which will then be contributed to other civic organizations. Motion was offered by Mr. Lindstrom, seconded by Dr. Iachetta, to approve this lottery permit request in accordance with the Board's adopted policy for issuance of such permits. Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: NAYS: ABSENT: Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and McCann. None. Miss Nash. Agenda Item No. 10. Employee Health Insurance Plan. dum of September 16, 1980, as follows: Mr'. Agnor summarized his memoran- In September, 1978, the County adopted a health insurance program which provides equal coverage for all employees, including the School Division, Service Authority, Joint Security Complex, General Government, and Tech- nical Education Center. The program provides for an annual review by the Superintendent of Schools and County Executive for recommendations to their respective boards for changes in the program, and renewal of the contract. In September, 1979, the program was renewed with no change in benefits, with an increase in rates of 10%, and a Contingency reserve of $72,000 to fund paid claims which exceeded premium subscription income. The program is administered by Blue Cross/Blue Shield, is experience-rated as a County group on hospital and doctor claims, and is pooled with a State group on major medical expenses. The Superintendent of Schools, the County Director of Finahce, the Exec- utive Director of the Service Authority, and the County Executive have completed an annual review of the program. The Joint Security Complex Administrator was invited to participate but was unable to attend the several meetings held for the review. The experience for a twelve-month period ending June 30, 1980, has been significantly higher than projec- tions, and is summarized as follows: Estimated Actual Difference Claims Administration Costs Total Income Requirements $335,216 $600,334 +$265,118 17~230 16,767 (463) $352,446 $617,101 +$264,655 Income $368~,554 $364,086 $ (4,468) A comparison of the two contract years reveals an increase of 37% in the number of claims, coupled with the average charge per claim, increasing 52%. Examination of the~several divisions within the group indicates little variation from. these increases. There have been a number of serious illnesses resulting in large claims, but the majority of the costs are found in multiples of smaller claims. A comparison of rates was made between the County plan, the University (a State plan), and the City of Charlottesville, both general government and school system. The plans are similar, but County rates are considerably lower. Rates Per Month County University City City School Employee Employee and One Minor Employee and Family $17.24 $38.20 $35.30 $49.32 24.32 --- 52.82 74.04 48.14 101.00 75.36 127.58 The experience results of the past year will require a substantial increase in rates. The County plan is a cost-plus plan which means that Blue Cross,/ Blue Shield administers the plan for a fee ($16,767 in 79-80) and the County assumes responsibility for deficits or benefits from surpluses, if any. The review by the staff has raised a number of questions and concerns that require more time to consider than the renewal date of October 1 allows. Therefore, the following recommendations are made for your con- sideration: 1. Renew the program on October 1 for a ninety-day period. 2. Adjust the rates with a 25% increase until January t, at which time a second adjustment will be necessary, depending upon decisions from further study. 3. Employ..~'someone knowledgeable in health insurance programs, who is not currently in the health insurance business, to advise on several issues: a) b) c) d) e) Should the benefits be amended? Should the rates be redistributed with the County assuming a larger portion of the costs? Should changes in retired employees participation be considered? Should the program be re-bid? What is the best month for the contract anniversary date? September 17, 1980 (Re_g~lar Night Appropriate the contingency reserve as follows: a) b) General Fund School Fund Administration and Instruction Cafeterias Transportation TOTAL $48,333 3,381 2~661 $54,375 $11,940 $54~375 $66~315 The Service Authority portion ($1,798), the Jail Fund portion ($2,158), and the Vo-Tech School portion ($1,654), will increase the disbursement of the plan reserve to $71,925. 5. Examine the FY-81 operations budgets for all participants at mid- fiscal year (JanUary) to determine how much of the remaining deficit after payment of the $71,925 can be funded by transfers of current appropriations, and how much will be required to restore the program's contingency reserve in the FY-82 budget. Approval of these five recommendations is requested." Mr. Fisher asked why this is being presented with such urgency.r Mr. Agnor said due to a backlog of claims which he was not aware of, the costs for one quarter went from a $50,000 surplus to a $48,000 deficit. Mr. Agnor also noted that paperwork regarding changes in personnel covered by the plan was behind several months, and this held up billing from Blue Cross. Lastly, Mr. Agnor noted that the school system paying premiums on a ten-month basis and everyone else paying for 12 months also had a bearing on the problem. Mr. Lindstrom said he had a moral commitment to the employees of the County, since insurance was part of the overall salary package approved for this fiscal year. Mr. Fisher said this recommendation was that the County absorb this additional cost for this 90 day period. Mr. Agnor said a 22% increase in premiums was built into the budget last spring. Considerable discussion developed involving the costs for this plan compared to costs of other similar plans used by the City of Charlottesville and the University, and how the County employees will react to this potential increase in their premium costs. Mr. Henley noted that members of the public seemed interested in participating in this discussion, and Mr. Fisher recognized Mrs. Cortney Stanley, Past-president of the Albemarle Education Association, who stated she served on the A.E.A. committee to study insurance plans. Mrs. Stanley said three years ago, school employees voted not to join county employees in insurance coverage. She said now that the schools are part of the County coverage, she feels they have not had any opportunity to voice an opinion on how to keep coverage costs down. She suggested rather than approve rising costs, to look at some other type of program which would cost less. Mr. Agnor said Mrs. Stanley's suggestions could be looked into, but that would require meetings with representatives of all those employees involved in the plan. Mr. Lindstrom said if it would not impact the County budget significantly, he would recommend that the present rate be maintained for another 90 days, to allow time to learn ways to control the increase. Mr. McCann said the impact will be greater in 90 days unless at least 25% is paid now. Mr. Lindstrom then offered motion to accept the recom- mendation of the County Executive, with the exception that the current rate be maintained for 90 days and review it at the end of that period based on information obtained. Mr. Henley said he could not support that, because he felt the County would end up supple- menting employee insurance every year. Dr. Iachetta said the motion only says don't raise the rates for 90 days, it does not say that the County will not collect those funds it was forced-to pay during those 90 days. Mr. McCann said he would like to see the employee's share increased now, rather than hold it off and cause a more substantial increase in January.. Dr. Iachetta said the employees are going to have to pay for this rate increase at some time, unless the County is willing to pay that increase out of the General Fund. Mr. Fisher said he was afraid that if the County accepts responsibility for the deficit over the 90 days, that the employees will not feel responsible for paying any part of that after January 1st. He said if the result of the increase is purely the result of an increased number of claims, that is something that the government has no control over, it is a result of what has happened to the employees themselves, and the employees should therefore be~responsible for the costs. No second was offered to Mr. Lindstrom's motion, and a new motion was offered by Mr. Henley to accept the recommendations of the County Executive. The motion was seconded by Mr. McCann. Mr. Agnor said he would like to talk to employees during the 90 day period, and stated further that if this increase had been the result of changing insurance com- panies, it would have appeared two years ago. Dr. Iachetta said he would support the motion because he felt it better to pay a little bit now than a large sum later. Mr. Lindstrom said it is becoming more and more important that decisions that affect employees be made after consultation with employee representatives. Roll was then called, and the motion to accept the recommendations of the County Executive carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and McCann. NAYS: Mr. Lindstrom. ABSENT: Miss Nash. September 1 1 80 Re ular i ' Mr. Agnor requested authorization for two appropriations to cover the shares of the deficit amount in the employees insurance plan. Motion was offered by Dr. Iachetta, seconded by Mr. McCann, to adopt the following resolution: BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia that the following appropriations be made: $15,896 be, and the same hereby is, appropriated from the General Fund, and transferred to Code 120~2005, Hospital and Medical Plans, Personnel budget, $56,029 be, and the same hereby is, appropriated from the School Fund, and transferred to Code 17G-210, Insurance Premiums, Fixed charges in the Education budget. Roll was then called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and McCann. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Miss Nash. Agenda Item No. ll(a) Other Matters - Improvements to the Juvenile Court Building. Mr. Agnor said jointly the City and the County have worked on the design improvements to the Juvenile Court Building. Mr. Agnor said funds have been appropriated from the Capital Budget for the County's share of work and favorable bids have been received. Mr. Agnor then requested authorization to sign a construction contract with J. S. Mathers of Way- nesboro for work on the Juvenile Court building. Motion was offered by Mr. Lindstrom, seconded by Mr. McCann, and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: NAYS: ABSENT: Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and McCann. None. Miss Nash. Agenda Item No. ll(b). Other Matters - Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority Maintenance and Inspection of Runoff Control Devices. Mr. Fisher noted that on September 10, 1980, the Board adopted a resolution to be concurred in by the City of Charlottesville for joint presentation to the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority regarding the maintenance of runoff control devices. Mr. Fisher said he and Mr. William Norris, Watershed Management Official, attended the City Council Meeting on Monday, and were advised that the resolution was being taken under advisement. Agenda Item No. ll(c). Other Matters - Minutes of January 23, 1980. Dr. Iachetta said he had two small changes he wished to make. The first change on page 305, fifth paragraph, the sentence reading "Mr. Roudabush said that would have built in dangers..." is not specific enough and wished to change it to read "Mr. Roudabush said Miss Nash's suggestion would have built in dangers..." The second correction he noted is on page 306, fourth paragraph, and he requested the last sentence to read as follows: "He said the present Board of Supervisors cannot bind future Boards to a~e~e grant future approvals." Motion to approve the minutes of January 23, 1980, with the corrections noted was offered by Mr. Iachetta, seconded by Mr. Lindstrom, and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: NAYS: ABSENT: Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and McCann. None. Miss Nash. Agenda Item No. ll(d). Other Matters - Highway Department Seminars. Mr. Fisher noted receipt of a letter from the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation regarding seminars being held regarding subdivision street standards. Mr. Fisher noted these seminars were being held in various locations, and that he would leave the list in the Clerk's office if any member of the Board or staff wished to attend. Agenda Item No. ll(e). Other Matters - Ordinance Concerning Radioactive Materials. Dr. Iachetta said he is convinced that the action taken by the Board of Supervisors on September 3, 1980, is the totally wrong approach to the matter. Dr. Iachetta said this is not a local matter, and should not be handled on a piecemeal-local level. He said he left the nuclear business fourteen years ago, because of the problem of waste disposal. He said he is opposed to the County spending any more money to hire experts, because there are sufficient experts right here at the University, and that even the experts don't have the answers. Dr. Iachetta said he felt the localities should get together and have the State conduct hearings on the problem. Dr. Iachetta said if a local ordinance is passed,~ it should not be to burn anything until more is known about the problem, and that the County should jointly send a letter to the Governor with the City of Charlottesville, that the State should investigate this problem. Agenda Item No. ll(f). Other Matters - League of Women Voters. Mr. Fisher said he wished to bring to the attention of the Board a document distributed by the League of Women Voters regarding the Runoff Control ordinance. It was suggested by the League that this be distributed to the Board in time for review before the public hearing date on amendment of the Runoff Control Ordinance on October 22, 1980. September 17, 1980 (Regular Night Meetin_~_) Agenda Item No. 12. At 9:30 P.M., there being no further business, motion was offered by Mr. Lindstrom, seconded by Mr. Henley, to adjourn to September 22, 1980, at 7:30 P.M. in the County Executive's Conference Room. The motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: NAYS: ABSENT: Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and McCann. None. Miss Nash. Chairman
