Comments on Relocation Plans for Route 678
I am here to speak to you today about my experience with the plans for
relocating Route 678 in western Albemarle County. This has been a
harrowing experience for me. My ex-husband and I purchased property in
western Albemarle in June, 1985. The features that sold the property to us
were the privacy of the lot, the large back yard, and the terrific views. We
did not learn until after closing that there were already preliminary plans
for rerouling Route 678 along the perimeter of the property. We were
shocked and angry. It is clear that a lot of people had that information prior
to closing, but it was not disclosed to us. During the time of our separation
and pending divorce in 1990, the house was put on the market. I was
eventually forced to buy the house after several potential buyers withdrew
their interest after seeing the 1990 plans for relocation of Route 678.
Specific Affects on Me:
1. When I had to buy the property, it became my investment for the future.
I am a Single parent, and I expected to use the appreciation in the property
for college education of my daughters. The property has already become
virtually unmarketable, and the proposed construction will insure that it is
unmarketable.! lose no matter what is decided.
2. It is inconceivable to me that I would own a 3D-foot 2-to-l sloped bank
around my property. I don't want it! I could not possibly maintain it, and I
certainly don't want to pay taxes on it.
3. My alternate drainfield site will be eliminated by the proposed
construction, and I have reason to be concerned that my house will become
unliveable. I have been told that the life expectancy of my eXisting drain
field is 10 to 20 years. The drain field has already been in use for almost 8
years. The State says this is a county problem...Dan Roosevelt said he is
certain the county will waive it's requirement for an alternate drain field
site! That is absurd! What would I do if my drain field failed? And, who
would ever buy a house without an alternate site?
"
Concerns about the Process
People need to be informed. Imagine how you would feel if you arrived
home one evening to find your entire back yard filled with a couple of
hundred 3-[oot stakes. 1 was quite upset! I called the local voor office and
asked what was happening. I was directed to the engineeer who was
handling this project from the Culpeper office I asked for and received a
face-to-face meeting with the engineers who were working on the project.
After that I received a call each time there was to be work on my
property...that is the way it should be. I contend that property owners who
are directly affected by a proposed project should be given information as a
matter of policy. No one should come home to face such an unsuspected
intrusion on their own property. I have remained informed about this
project because I made it known that was what I expected. I am not an
unreasonable person. I am willing to cooperate when I understand what is
happening and why it is necessary. I hope that you would use your
influence to see that, in future, citizens of Albemarle County are better
informed about what will be happening on their private property.
Questions
1. What is the problem you are trying to fix? I realize that most or none of
you were on the Board of Supervisors when this project was conceived. As I
have asked questions to determine the reason for this project, I have
received very vague, sometimes conflicting information. The most common
voor response has been: "It has been on the books for years." Ed Bain has
told me there are concerns about traffic backing up on Route 250. Others
have suggested that the project is being driven by commercial interests and
political promises. What is the REAL problem?
2. What data is there to support the stated problem? For example, if safety
is an issue, what supporting data is there which shows where the problems
exist?
3. Is the proposed solution going to fix the problem? It looks like it is going
to create the potential for more of a problem. Are you convinced that it
won't?
4. Does the proposed solution warrant the cost? Is it worth spending the
entire year's allottment for secondary roads on this one project? Are there
ther areas in the county where this money would be better spent?
..
"
summary
It is my hope that when you are presented with the proposal to relocate
Route 678 , you will review it careful1y. I realize that roads must be built
and that, invariably, someone's property is affected. I only ask that you
consider careful1y the questions I have raised before you make a decision
which will have such a severe impact on my property
Respectful1y Sub mitted,

years, ho
many years my office assisted private citizens or groups in obtaining right of way
el secondary roads in Albemarle County. Basically the process was for my office to
the necessary right of way, give some instruction to the citizens or group and
em with VDOT omnibus deed forms for signature. The citizen then contacted the
operty owners along a route and obtained the necessary signatures on the deed form.
ignatures were obtained, the Department recorded the deed in the land records and I
d to the Board that the route be added to the gravel road construction priority
procedure has existed in Albemarle County since the late 1970s. It was started by
and me in response to numerous requests for gravel road improvements. Over the
this has remained a process which is unique to Albemarle and Greene counties.
Late last year the Department began a review of right of way procedures used for
secondary roads. After review of our procedure, concern was raised by our Right of Way
Division that use of private citizens to negotiate right of way left the Department subject
to future claims of misrepresentation or failure to follow proper procedures. I was directed
to end this program in the spring of this year.
The end of this program does not mean the Department is no longer attempting to obtain
donated right of way. What is does mean is that Department employees will be the only ones
in the future to use Department deed forms and procedures to obtain this right of way. My
office and the District Right of Way Section, as necessary, will work to obtain donated right
of way as projects enter the six year plan. Because of manpower limitations and our need to
concentrat on projects in our various improvement plans, it will not be feasible for
Department employees to be obtaining right of way on projects not in the six year plan.

OFFICIAL DETERMINATION OF NUMBER OF PARCELS - Section 10.3.1;
Tax Map 69, Parcel 39
Mr. Jansen,
e County Attorney and I have reviewed the information you have
bmitted for the above-noted properties. It is the County
torney's advisory opinion and my official determination, that
is parcel actually consists of two (2) separate parcels. The
rcels are physically separate, with no points touching, and
rcels 40 and 40A located between them.
ese parcels are as follows:
The western parcel of 25.318 acres, with 5 potential
development rights; and
The eastern parcel of 126.27 acres, with 5 potential
development rights.
ch of these lawfully separate parcels is entitled to associated
velopment rights, based on the buildability of the property.
is determination results in one (1) additional parcel than is
own with a parcel number on the County tax maps.
is determination considered the findings of the Albemarle Circuit
urt in the case,of Ann H. Sanford v. Board of Zoning Appeals of
bemarle Count Vir inia and city of winston Salem v. TiCkle,
1 2d 667, of the North Carolina Court of Appeals (1981). These
ses determined that ownerShip by another, whether the
mmonwealth of Virginia for highway right-of-way, or a private
dividual, serves to sever the common ownership of the property
d therefore also subdivide it into separate parcels.

The consensus and feeling of the group was that with the addition of the new
sinesses to the Pantops area, including Westminster-Canterbury of the Blue Ridge, as well
a proposed and developing communities in the area, such as the Wilton Apartments and the
fo hcoming Home for Adults being built by the Winterhaven group adjacent to the Overlook
A artments, the neighborhood certainly continues to grow and is becoming more urban.
As Albemarle County's budget process has begun, I am writing to request your
s pport for including an extension of public bus service to the Pantops area to include the
estminster-Canterbury of the Blue Ridge facility.
On October the 12th, Pantops area business representatives met here at Westminster-
C nterbury to discuss the necessity of public bus service being extended to the Pantops area.
r. Juandiego Wade from Albemarle County, and Mr. Michael Carroll from the
C arlottesville Transit Service also attended this meeting.
The group was very much in favor of extending bus service and were supportive of
ef orts to promote this service and make its implementation successful. At Westminster-
C nterbury we have recently surveyed our residents and found quite a number of residents
w 0 have indicated that they would ride the bus if it were made available. As our resident
p pulation grows older, many of them will cease driving, and will be in a position to need
p blic transportation even more.
We also surveyed our employees last year and found that several employees would
interested in riding a bus to Westminster-Canterbury from their homes in the
C arlottesville/ Albemarle area. Lack of bus service keeps some potential employees from
b 'ng able to take advantage of job opportunities at Westminster-Canterbury.
We ask for your support for an extension of transit service. If we may be of any
as istance or if you have any questions, please let me know.

Fact Sheet about The Revised 1990 Census Counts
Census Bureau has received correspondence and other types of
iries from local governments and other census data users
ut the 1990 census counts. In an effort to be responsive, we
e answered both generalized and specific questions regarding
1990 census counts. As appropriate, the Census Bureau
iewed information provided by local officials and other census
a users to resolve their questions.
some instances, our review for an individual government
ntified specific error(s) in the 1990 census records. The
t majority of the errors we identified are geographic errors.
graphic errors involve inaccuracies in the local government's
ndaries recognized for tabulating the census results or in the
graphic assignment of individual living quarters and their
ociated population. The enclosed statement reflects the
rections resulting from our review of the 1990 census records
ed on questions received on behalf of an individual local
ernment.
e local governments are receiving this statement of revised
sus counts even though they did not contact the Census Bureau
ut their 1990 census counts. These changes to the census
nts generally reflect the reassignment of living quarters
ociated population made around the legal boundary between
or more jurisdictions as the result of an inquiry received.
is, our review of the 1990 census records determined that
sp cific living quarters and their associated population required
re ssignment from one local government unit to another.

hed for your information is the final copy of Albemarle's 1993 Legislative package,
contains only two changes since it was discussed at your November 4 meeting. The
is the addition under the Finance section to support a change in the current
lation of the composite index to recognize land use value assessment. The second,
Growth Management, revises our request to have land-use eliminated in the growth
to legislation eliminating land-use in specified zoning districts for industrial,
rcial and planned development. Loudoun County already has this enabling legislation
pecified zoning districts and VACo has come out in support of giving this same
rity to all counties. Politically, there is more chance of passing this legislation
attempting to push the growth area concept on our own.

Blue Ridge Advisory Committee For The Shenandoah
National Park, "Round Table" Discussion
e Blue Ridge Advisory Committee for Shenandoah National Park
NP) Relations, at its next meeting in January, will have a
" ound table" discussion in which each county's relationship and
sues with the National Park will be discussed. Below are
aff's suggestions for comments/issues that the Board may wish
have presented at this meeting. The underlined are the
imary points which could be made, followed by additional
formation in support of these comments.
1 The County's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance both
support the protection of lands adjacent to the Shenandoah
National Park. The Plan designates the entire related study
area (1926 authorized boundary) as Rural Area.
The Plan's growth management goals states:
"Promote the efficient utilization of County resources
through a combination of:
a. Designated Growth Areas that provide a variety of land
uses, facilities, and services to support the County's
future growth.
b. Emphasis on the importance and priority of the four
major elements that form the basis for the Rural Areas:

(1) preservation of agricultural and forestal
activities; (2) water supply protection; (3) limited
service delivery to these areas; and, (4) conservation
of natural, scenic and historic resources. Of these,
the preservation of agricultural and forestal
activities is the highest priority."
Almost the entire study area is located within the South
Fork Rivanna Reservoir watershed, an area where development
is discouraged. The Community of Crozet is the only
designated Growth Area near the study area.
The Comprehensive Plan supports voluntary agricultural/
forestal districts. Sugar Hollow District (3,280 acres) and
Free Union District (2,141 acres) are located within the
study area.
The Open Space Plan (part of the Comprehensive Plan)
recognizes the following resources associated with
mountains: Critical slopes, scenic views, wildlife habitat,
extensive forests, unique soils for orchards, natural areas,
and headwaters. The Open Space Plan recommends adoption of
a mountain protection district, which would include the Blue
Ridge Mountains above the 1000 foot contour. The Open Space
Plan notes that the Blue Ridge Mountain area contains
potentially important wildlife habitat areas and natural
areas.
The entire study area is zoned Rural Area, with limited
residential subdivision rights. The Zoning Ordinance
prohibits development on critical slopes (25% or greater).
The Moorman's River is a State Scenic River and County
scenic stream.
The Water Resource Protection Area Ordinance requires a 100
foot buffer on both sides of perennial streams and adjacent
non-tidal wetlands.
2 The County recognizes the importance of the Shenandoah
National Park's recreational opportunities for County
residents and its economic benefit to the County.
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes both of these points. The
Park provides significant areas for hiking, picnicking and
other passive recreational opportunities for residents this
reduces the need for the County to provide these types of
facilities.
B b Brandenburger
P ge 3
N vember 24, 1992
The Plan also notes the increase in tourism related jobs and
services in Albemarle County during the 1980's. The
proximity of the park is certainly a factor in the area's
attraction to tourists.
3. The County and SNP have a generally positive and cooperative
relationship.
While certain specific issues may emerge it has been the
County's experience that most are resolved with a minimum of
conflict.
The County has recently cooperated with the Park in its
Related Lands Study, which has been under study by the
University of Virginia's College of Architecture. Results
of that work should be of value to the County, particularly
in the area of resource identification and mapping.
4. Issues of importance to the County related to the National
Park:
1. Maintaining (keeping open) existing access points to
the Park and the management of those areas.
2. Continued cooperation between the County/SNP/adjacent
landowners in the resolution of specific concerns as
they may arise.

Chc:rlottesville, Virginia 22901
Dee r Hr. Bower'man:
Thank you for your letter regarding the application of
the overtime requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act to
executive and administrative employees in the public sector.
I am aware that recent court decisions in this area have
generated considerable concern among state and local government
officials, because of the potential impact of unanticipated
overtime liabilities on public agencies that in many cases are
already operating under severe fiscal restraints. As you may
knew, the Department of Labor has recently issued new regulation
on overtime exemptions for public employees that should help to
alleviate those concerns.
The new regulations, published in the Federal Register
on ~ugust 19, 1992, are specifically designed to accommodate
principles of public accountability reflected in many public
sector pay systems. Under the new rules, otherwise exempt
exe~utive, administrative and professional employees in the
public sector will no longer lose the exemption merely because
the~ are paid according to a system that allows their pay to be
docked for absences of less than one full day. The new rules
further provide that pay deductions for absences due to a budget-
req~ired furlough will not disqualify an employee from the
exemption.
These changes address the principal concerns expressed in
the wake of the recent court decisions and should significantly
reduce potential overtime liabilities for public employers who
are making good-faith efforts to comply with the Act.
Some public employer groups have called for further action,
on ~rounds that the new regulations do not go far enough to
reI eve state and local governments from overtime liabilities.
How~ver, there is at this point considerable disagreement, even
amohg proponents of legislative change, as to how best to address
the remaining concern of the public employer community without
undermining the important public policies served by the overtime
reqjJirements.

Approval Of Functional Classification Of The State
Roads In The County
e Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA)
quires that the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)
nctionally reclassify roads within the state system based on
eir current function. Each locality and Metropolitan Planning
ganization (MPO) must approve the functional classification for
ads within their jurisdiction. VDOT ultimately must submit a
vised functional classification for the state road system to
e Federal Highway Administration.
e functional classification of a road is most important in (1)
entifying the function, or primary purpose of the road; and (2)
e standards for road design/construction. The functional
assification does not affect the availability or distribution
funding to the locality.
aff will present the functional classification of County roads
the December 2 Board meeting. Maps showing the classification
roads will be available at that meeting. Attached is a
sting of road segments in the County with this proposed
nctional classification. Staff has reviewed this proposed
nctional classification with VDOT.and the MPO Technical
mmittee. Staff will be recommending approval of the proposed
assification. Attached is a sample resolution provided by VDOT
ich they may choose to use for their action.

to stat
Four roads were constructed in the Langford Subdivision. In July 1979, two of
roads were accepted by VDOT. The other two roads, Pippin Lane and Montgomery Lane,
ught up to the required standard in 1987 but were not accepted because there were not
cupied dwellings. Three years later, the third occupied residence requirement was
1991, the Engineering Department required the Developer to bring these two roads up
standards for VDOT acceptance.
Due to he 12 years since Montgomery Lane was constructed, the road width had decreased by
approxi ately two feet due to the encroachment of vegetation. Therefore, this road requires
a more ubstantial upgrade to be in conformance with the approved plans compared to Pippin
Lane. In September 1991, the bond was called due to the Developer's refusal to do this
correct've work. The County is currently holding $10,000 cash paid by the Developer.
ON: The cost to complete the corrective work, not including any pavement patching,
ximately $13,000. The cost for the pavement corrections for both roads is $8,725.
1 cost of approximately $22,000 exceeds the called bond by $12,000. In order to
these roads prior to the winter season, the appropriation to follow will authorize
ure of $22,000; $10,000 from the developer and $12,000 from savings in
unty projects. The County Attorney will endeavor to recover the $12,000 from the
r but recovery is uncertain.
This is to request that the Board appropriate $22,000 to complete this work.

November 25, 1992
Request To Change Jurisdictional Area Allowance -
Tax Map 57, Parcel 31A (The Ridge Restaurant)
he Albemarle County Board of Supervisors, at its meeting on
ctober 7, 1992, approved the above-noted request to amend the
lbemarle County Service Authority service area boundaries for
'sewer service" to Tax Map 57, Parcel 31A, for a two-inch sewer
ine to existing structure, existing use and existing capacity
nly, contingent on the applicant getting the required easements
nd doing the necessary work to make the connection by March 12,
993.
he applicant, the Ridge Restaurant, is requesting a change in
he allowance from a 2" sewer line (force main) to a 3" sewer
ine (force main) due to the higher friction head and pumping
equirements of a 2" vs. a 3". The applicant's justification is
savings in energy and avoidance of three-phase power.
he Engineering Department has reviewed this request and provided
omment. They agree with the applicant and note that "limiting
he diameter will not be effective and will only make the design
nd operation more costly..... They suggest limiting the rate of
ischarge for the pump station "would provide more effective and
ractical control on the use of the proposed force main."
s the diameter change of the line will not affect its capacity,
t appears that this request will not change the intent of the
urisdictional area allowance. Staff recommends approval.

ineering opinion which advised that it could be accomplished
h a two-inch line.
It now appears from the letter of John W. Greene, P.E. to you

Re: Ridge Restaurant, Sewage Pump Force Main Size
It is my understanding that the estimated 2" diameter force main to serve the Ridge Restaurant
sew ge pumping station has been specifically stated as a limit in the Board of Supervisor's
acti n to extend the Service Authority's jurisdictional area to cover the Ridge Restaurant.
Des gn of the pumping station is now underway and it has become obvious that a 2" force main
will cause the friction head to be very high and therefore require more horse power to pump the
sam amount of sewage. The use of a 2" force main is not practical and would create a
pu ping system which will use more electricity than if a 3" force main is used. Please be
ass ed that a 3" diameter pipe with a 3 horsepower pump will not pump substantially more
sew ge than a 2" diameter pipe with a 5 horsepower pump.
The efore, in order to save energy and avoid the need for three phase power to the pumping
stati n, I am requesting that if the size of the force main must be included in the action to extend
the j . sdictional area, it be cited as a 3" diameter pipe.

November 24, 1992
The Ridge Restaurant
As equested this Department has reviewed the justification submitted by John Greene for
sing the force main 3" in diameter.
Fro an engineering standpoint the increase makes perfect sense. The pressure lost due to
fric ion is approximately six times greater for a 2" rather than a 3" force main. This results
in t e requirement of a larger pump and greater electrical power requirements. An efficient
desi n balances the cost of the force main with the annual cost of operating the pump.
The efore, this Department recommends approval of the 3" diameter upgrade.
PI se note that the principal element in the design of a force main is the pump. The larger
the ump, the more sewage can be pumped. From our conversation the Board is looking to
limi the discharge from the force main. Limiting the diameter will not be effective and will
onl make the design and operation more costly to the owner.
The State Health Department will review and issue approval of the pump station for a
spe ific daily rate of discharge. They utilize a standard set of design criteria based upon the
typi al rate of sewage generated for the specific use of the facilities creating the sewage.
PIa 'ng a limit or moratorium on the rate of discharge based upon the State's criteria would
pro ide more effective and practical control on the use of the proposed force main.

The PUD agreement for the development of Branchlands provides for a wetlands marsh area to
be esta lished within a temporary easement to serve as a wetland research project in
conjunc ion with UVA. The majority of this area is located on Tax Map/Parcel 61Z-03-11A with
a very mall portion located on 61Z-03-11. The easement was to remain for as long as the
wetland served as a water quality facility. Clause B.2 in the PUD agreement states that if
at some future time the County Engineering Department determines that the wetlands is no
longer serving its intended purpose of water quality management the project will be
termina ed and the easement vacated. A reasonable assumption (although no documentation was
found) 's that upon completion of the UVA research project, the wetland was to remain natural
or unma' ntained until natural sedimentation rendered the wetland area useless. At that time,
the own r could request that the County abandon the easement and submit a site plan for
removal of the wetland. If this assumption is accurate, then the intent of the PUD agreement
was to stablish a temporary easement with a useful life span and no maximum time limit.
DISCUSS Over the past four years site plans were approved within the PUD recognizing
this we area as the only quality and partial quantity control for the developed area.
This we land area, along with another minor detention area, provides the only detention for
the ent're PUD. In addition, this wetland area is the only quality control facility for the
entire UD. If the wetland area is taken out of service, any pollutants being removed from
current or future development would be discharged directly into the stream.

If the function is to become permanent, future long term maintenance would entail

Clau-se .2 of the PUD agreement creates a "temporary" easement with no finite conclusion.
At the same time, the PUD agreement states that parcel llA, where the majority of the
wetland marsh is located, has development use as "commercial/service".
There a e two issues needing resolution: (1) The marsh/wetland is providing a permanent, not
tempora y, water quality and quantity function, and (2) Once made permanent the ownership and

As part of the recent negotiations with Adelphia Cable Company, the City has agreed to equip
a telev'sion studio capable of providing access to the general public for locally originated
progr ing. The County, as you know, does not have a franchise agreement with the cable
company and, as such, has no understanding with the cable company to provide county residents
this sa e access. The City has offered to share this facility with county residents in
exchang for a contribution of $2,000 towards equipment for this project. Total project cost
is expe ted to be approximately $50,000.

Mr. Tuc
REVIEWED BY:
for your information is a sheet on the additional debt service costs for previously
school projects in the 1993-94 CIP.
The inf rmation is divided into three major sections. The first shows the additional costs
of all he school recreational projects including Brownsville. Although this project was
initial y requested by the School Division for 1994/95, the Brownsville PTO is strongly
desirou of having the improvements completed in 1993/94 (see attached). You will also note
that th tennis court resurfacing at WAHS has been deferred at the request of the School
Divisio , because the intended location may be used for expansion. The second section
provides the additional debt service costs for other unfunded school projects, with the
asteris s denoting high priority projects of the school division.
The fin 1 section shows the additional debt service if all unfunded projects were added to
the Fall '93 Bond issue, $24,750 for FY 93/94 and $84,890 for FY 94/95. This would raise the
total de t service in FY 93/94 to $5.6 million and in FY 94/95 to $6.7 million. Debt service
for the urrent FY 92/93 budget is $5.2 million.
any questions prior to Wednesday's meeting, please feel free to call me.

CIP PROJECT REQUEST
Proposal For Brownsville Elementary Outdoor Recreation Improvement
Request for appropriation of funds in years 1993-94 instead of 1994-95
(1994-95 has been approved)
REQUEST REASONS
Impro ements are currently timed with planned renovation of Brownsville School 1994-95 with
redict icting to help serve new growth due to Crozet Crossing and Mechums River Highlands.
Cone rns about existing playground equipment are great. Several serious problems with splin-
ters t at required emergency room or doctors attention have occurred in the past few years.
Scha I, parents, teachers and the Playground Committee believe the school needs new equip-
ment efore 1994-95. The existing playground equipment is very old but some can be saved,
Le. th swing sets. The older existing schools tend to be bumped back, where as all the new
schoo s already have new play equipment.
The P C committee is asked to separate the playground improvement funds from the
Brow sville School building expansion funds in case there are delays in construction.
The r quest for 1993-94 appropriations of funds would be under the condition that the monies
(totalli g $44,000) will not be spent until the building expansion plans are finalized. The agree-
ment ould also include that the appropriate site for the 2 new handicapable units of play
equip ent will be installed outside the boundaries of the chain-linked fence that surrounds the
constr ction site. Wood borders and wood carpet mulch will be installed concurrent with play
equip ent. The installation of the 4 new aluminum fan-shaped basketball goals and court would
be po t building construction.
The c nstruction of the Brownsvi!le expansion will be done throughout the whole school year
1994- 5. We are requesting that the recreation equipment be in place during that year so the
childre can enjoy it while putting up with the noise and inconvenience of the construction
aroun them. Earliest possible installation of the play equipment is of utmost importance to the
Brown ville parents, staff and students. We strongly urge PIC committee to give this request
every onsideration.
Thank you

Commercial Horticulture is the fastest growing enterprise in agriculture
today. Over 80 businesses sell or provide services to the horticultural
industry in this area. Albemarle County, Charlottesville and the University
of Virginia have over 120 employees involved in horticulture as a job.
These businesses and employees are constantly looking for training and
educational materials to be better educated in their work.
The Albemarle/Charlottesville Extension Unit provides at least 90 hours of
instruction and training each year for commercial horticulturalists. This
involves bringing in specialists for seminars to discuss the latest in plant
material and their culture. A sixty hour course is offered each year for
"Plant Specialists". This course trains nurserymen, plant retailers,
horticulturalists, landscape architects, designers, and government
employees more about commercial horticulture. This course includes
subjects such as soils, botany, insects, diseases, weeds, turf manage-
ment, ornamentals, tree and shrub identification, basic landscape
design, proper pruning techniques and care of fruits and vegetables.
The Extension Agricultural Agent specializing in horticulture consults with
local commercial horticulturalists by providing laboratory services,
identification of insects, diseases, weeds, Integrated Pest Management
techniques and pesticide recommendations when needed.
A turfgrass research plot has been installed at Rivanna Park as one of 30
across the United States to test 90 varieties of tall fescues. Not only does
this research aid Extension Agents in recommending turf varieties, but it
provides a demonstration site for commercial horticulturists and home-
owners to see what grasses grow best here in Albemarle.
Extension is a joint program of Virginia Tech, Virginia State, the u.s. Department of Agriculture, and state and local gouernments.
Virginia Cooperative Extension programs and employment are open to all, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, age,
national origin, handicap, or political affiliation. An equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.

Alnswer:
Albemarle County Fruit and Vegetable Growers have approximately 2,300
acres of fruit and vegetables in production which include apples, peaches,
nectarines, pears, grapes and strawberries, sweet corn, tomatoes, squash
and pumpkins. Over two thirds of the fungicides and several insecticides
have now been banned or withdrawn from the arsenal of pesticides to be
used on these crops. The weather has destroyed large percentages of the
crops over the last few years due to late frosts, hail, droughts and floods.
Labor to care for and harvest these crops has to be brought in and this
causes many legal problems that growers have not had to deal with in the
past.
Ten to twelve meetings are held each year to teach growers how to manage
the pests damaging their crops using Integrated Pest Management. Inte-
grated Pest Management helps the grower reduce the amount of spray
material by timing the best spray intervals, if needed at all. This saves
money for the grower and is better for the environment. During these
meetings, growers are taught to recognize problems and the best method of
control.
Extension organizes meetings for growers to learn more about the legalities
of hiring migrants to work on their farms. Labor Specialists are brought in
from the state and federal government to advise growers on the laws and
regulations dealing with labor and housing for migrants. Virginia Coopera-
tive Extension has developed a computer software program called
"MILA W" to aid Extension Agents and growers in dealing with labor
problems.
Alternative crops, such as ornamentals, are introduced to growers to help
cash flow during times of weather damage to fruit and vegetable crops.
Extension is now teaching farmers to diversify in order to increase agricul-
tural profitability. Visits are made to farms as the need arises to consult on
an individual basis with growers with production and management prob-
lems. Pesticide safety courses are taught each year to certify and recertify
producers to buy pesticides needed for their crops.

C NSUMER HORTICULTURE
S tuation:
There are over 70,000 homeowners in the Albemarle/Charlottesville area,
most of which have lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers and vegetable gardens.
Many of these homeowners are new to the area and have many questions
concerning growing conditions, insects, diseases, weeds and plant material.
A wer:
The Virginia Cooperative Extension Service has placed one Agricultural
Agent in Albemarle County with a specialty in horticulture. The Extension
Service provides unbiased, research based information to consumers
about the culture of plants and many other homeowner problems. Exten-
sion Agents provide services for area citizens in the following areas; plant
material selection, insect identification, weed identification, disease
identification, pesticide recommendations when needed, organic control
recommendations, vegetable production, fertilization, turf manage-
ment, composting, and soil testing, identification and management.
Weekly articles are submitted to two local newspapers with a readership of
approximately 38,000 people. These articles are used to answer some of
the more popular horticultural questions received in the Extension office
each day. They are also used to educate the public about procedures to
ensure a safer environment. Recent articles focused on composting,
planting trees and shrubs, reducing pesticides and pesticide safety.
One of the more successful programs in this area is the "Extension Master
Gardener Program". Students apply for the class and are selected on
their ability to help others learn more about horticulture. Approximately
twenty students graduate each year from a 50 hour course covering the
basics of consumer horticulture. These students agree to volunteer 50
hours back to Extension to spread horticultural knowledge to the public.
Extension is a joint program of Virginia Tech, Virginia State, the u.s. Department of Agriculture, and state and local governments.
Virginia Cooperative Extension programs and employment are open to all, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, age,

The Albemarle! Charlottesville Master Gardeners volunteer 1200 to
1500 hours a year in this area. Projects include the County Fair, garden-
ing lectures and tours, bird houses for the county and city parks,
garden and composting projects for county schools, Arbor Day classes
for schools, landscape planning for schools and Region Ten, projects
and classes at Ivy Creek Natural Area, the Kluge Childrens' Center
and Monticello. In the future it is hopeful that office space will be make
available for Master Gardeners to answer some of the many questions
coming to the Extension Office each day.

Planning District 10 Home Economists have presented "Greening of the Consumer"
to about 250 people. This is an educational program to help consumers with
"enviroshopping", that is , how to reduce, reuse, recycle, etc.
Extension Homemakers in the county and city are becoming more involved in
environmental issues. They plan to present educational programs related to the
environment to their ten clubs in 1993. Approximately 150 - 200 people will benefit.
Horticultural articles are submitted to two local papers each week with a readership of
approximately 38,000. Many of these articles, such as composting, planting trees
and shrubs and handling insect problems, encourage homeowners to use less
pesticides, recycle, and landscape to beautify as well as clean the air.
Extension has been known for its soil testing service for years. Many producers use
it to maximize profitability in agriculture, but it has been proven that university soil
testing recommends. less fertilizer for maximum production. This aids in keeping
fertilizers out of the groundwater.
The Albemarle/Charlottesville Extension Unit is working with the Thomas Jefferson
Soil and Water District to develop a computerized system to help growers and
landowners locate crops, using an abundance of fertilizer and pesticides, away from
vulnerable groundwater and surface water areas.
Albemarle Agricultural Agents constantly work with agricultural producers and
homeowners on an individual basis to reduce the amount of pesticides used. Produc-
ers are taught to monitor crops for insect and disease damage and provided with
threshold levels for damage to crops. This practice greatly reduces the amount of
pesticides used on crops and ornamentals. It also reduces costs of production to
maximize profits for farmers.
Extension is a joint program of Virginia Tech, Virginia State, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and state and local governments.
Virginia Cooperative Extension programs and employment are open to all, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, age,

Homeowners in this area call the Extension Service for unbiased, research based
information concerning all types of problems concerning their homes, landscapes,
pets, wildlife problems, insects, diseases, weeds, vegetables, and fruits. Almost half
of these many callers want an organic solution to their problems, of which Extension
can provide in many cases. Extension is the only State Agency which provides
pesticide education in the proper use of pesticides.
4-H Youth in Albemarle County attend camps, join school and community clubs
and take projects to learn more about environmental problems. Some of these
classes include Aquatic Science, Wildlife, reduction of water use, recycling, soil
conservation, forestry, and many more classes pertaining to the environment.

session workshop series on money matters, targeting midlife and older
women although some men and younger people have participated. To
date seven programs have been completed in Charlottesville and
Albemarle.
Training in volunteer financial counseling for volunteers who assist
families with their money problems by empowering them to improve
their money skills and increase their feelings of control over their
finances.

Heart Disease and cancer, the two leading causes of death in Virginia,
account for 60% of all deaths. Poor dietary practices, including obesity,
are risk factors for heart diseases, certain cancers, and related health
problems.
VCES is working to reduce the incidence of nutrition related disease risks.
Weight control classes are conducted on a regular basis several times a
year. Special programs and classes, such as Culinary Hearts teach food
selection and preparation for good heart health. Programs for Extension
Homemakers give 25-30 leaders nutrition information to take back to their
clubs, reaching 150-200 citizens. "Peppy", the clown teaches basic
nutrition to young children in classrooms, after-school programs, Health
Fairs, and other settings. Approximately 425 children and adults have
benefitted from "Peppy's" message: "Eat Smart" this past year.

4 H INVOLVEMENT IN CHARLOTTESVILLEI ALBEMARLE
4-H is an essential part of many lives in our community. There are so many opportu-
nities for our 4-H youth today but, without guidance, compassion and resources,
many more of our young people would continue to fall through the cracks society has
paved their road with.
There is not enough that can be said about the 4-H Adult Leaders Association and
other Volunteer Organizations that work directly with our youth. There is no doubt
that many of tomorrow's leaders are being trained through 4-H in our neighborhoods
today.

Civic organizations, social groups, businesses, schools and many other private citizens
help ensure that these young people get the well rounded educational opportunities
that this changing world demands. Listed below are some of the programs that are
currently offered.

ypsy Moth
A COOPERATIVE ANSWER
in Albemarle County
S TUATION: There are over 325,000 acres of forested land in
C arlottesville and Albemarle County that could be severely
i pacted by the continuing presence of the gypsy moth. Left to
i self, the gypsy moth could destroy the aesthetic beauty of
f rested communities, destroy valuable timber, adversely affect
w'ldlife, and cause a panic among homeowners. Being a community
o people who care about their surroundings and the environment,
m ny want to see a safe usage of pesticides and a coordinated
e fort toward the management of this serious pest.
COOPERATIVE ANSWER: The federal and state governments, both
r cognizing the seriousness of this insect have both committed
t'me and money toward working with local governments in a
ppression program for gypsy moth control. Through the Albemarle
unty Gypsy Moth Program, a cooperative suppression program
ists between the federal and state governments, the County, the
ty of Charlottesville, and the citizens of the city and county.
e Program provides professional monitoring of the pest which in
rn results in a more effective control strategy utilizing
proaches that are the most current, effective, safe and
vironmentally responsible as developed by publicly funded
search. All publicly proposed aerial treatment controls are
viewed by environmental resource agencies such as the Virginia
partment of AgriCUlture, US Forest Service, Virginia Game
mmission and Natural Heritage Foundation. Educational
ogramming runs year round and homeowner visits are made daily
help landowners with managements decisions.

Re: Draft Legislative Package
Please find enclosed a draft of the legislative package for 1993.
This package reflects those issues which we have previously
discussed and those brought up by individual localities.
All new issues are balded. All old issues that have been reworded
to reflect current information are underlined. Everything else in
the package is the same as last year's with the exception of those
items which have been resolved at the state level.

PRIORITIES
The Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission and the member governing boards are
considering a draft ofthe1993 Legislative Package. The top priorities are:
1. We oppose any change in the funding formula for roads that would result
in a reduction of money for this region.
2. We oppose efforts to restrict local governments' abilities to make land
use decisions within their borders.
3. The State should, to the extent possible, fund all new mandates and
establish a review of current mandates. Whenever possible, localities should
be given flexibility in the manner in which they meet these mandates.

GROWTH MANAGEMENT
P(~LICY STATEMENT
TIle Planning District and member governments recognize the importance of a mix of vibrant
gn wing cities and preselVation of rural areas. In order to maintain this balance, we support
ex.! anded authority through enabling legislation to give local governments the tools to manage
grc wth. We support legislation which would encourage localities to work together on a regional
ba is. We oppose legislation which would restrict existing authority.
RI COMMENDATIONS
l:i Support enabling leglislation for local governments to use expanded growth
management tools such as Transfer Development Rights (TDR's), Purchase
Development Rights (PDR's), impact fees and adequate public facilities
ordinances.
l:i Oppose any legislation which would restrict local governments' ability to develop,
modify, and enforce their comprehensive plan.
l:i Support efforts which require state agencies to consider local comprehensive plans
and the future impact of their decisions on the local community in the agency's
decision-making process.
l:i Support incentives for regional cooperation where the effects of decisions are felt
beyond the local level.
l:i Support streamlining approval processes for development scheduled for
designated growth areas.
l:i Support the Conservation and Recreation Trust Fund.
l:i Oppose legislation which broadens individual vested rights' in land use matters.
l:i Support shared data llse development, and Geographic Information System (GIS)
technology through a statewide network of PDC's. local and state age~cies with
appropriate funding for regional and local analysis. growth management planning
and dissemination of land use. demographic and economic data.
l:i Expand definition of "standing" to allow citizens and municipalities to take action
against State environmental agencies on decisions which would adversely affect
them. Provide opportunity for local governments or affected citizens to initiate
rule making in state agencies.
n Support and fund development of regional water conservation and resource plans.

FINANCES
POLICY STATEMENT
The Planning District and its members recognize that financing government projects should be a
partnership between the state and localities. But we are alarmed at the decreasing level of supporl
from the state, while demands for services increase. With our limited ability to raise funds, we are
unable to meet services required by our residents and those mandated by the state.
RECOMMENDATIONS
n: Restore local funds committed through the state's portion of the Recordation Tax.
n: Fund state mandates, starting with solid waste management and education.
n: Provide equal taxing and borrowing power for counties similar to that of cities.
n: Provide local governments with funds and/or taxing power for their infrastructure.
n: Oppose any efforts to restrict the use of current local revenue sources.
n: Expand local authority to generate additional revenue resources.
n: Continue state support of human service programs.

EDUCATION
POLICY STATEMENT
17u Planning District and its members share the state's interest in educational excellence. Yet local
res(~urces for funding education are limited and shrinking. Adequate state funding and equity needs
to l e acheived for education in a way that does not diminish present funding levels.
RE~OMMENDATIONS
l:i Restore and increase state funding for standards of quality and all other
categorical education mandates without reduction to other components of the
state budget.
l:i Provide localities with funds and/or revenue sources for school construction and
equipment, and ensure literary funds are used solely for local school construction
and equipment.

WASTE MANAGEMENT
POLICY STATEMENT
The Planning District and its member localities recognize the importance of reducing solid waste
through an integrated management program that stresses source reduction, reuse and recycling. But
the reality of implementing a program and meeting state mandates on landfills is costly. Therefore,
the state must do its share to help localities meet these mandates.
RECOMMENDATIONS
P: Have state assume lead role in the development of markets for recyclables,
increased source reduction and reuse of materials.
P: Fund state mandated laws and regulations regarding solid waste, particularly the
upgrading of landfills to standards.

The c( nvenience zone concept, a redemption center within one mile of a
store doing $1 Million sales annually has exposed a basic and economic
flaw: Too many centers, too little volume, too much subsidy and too little
public participation.
Only 5 - 14% of containers come back through redemption centers, the rest
throug~ previously established recycling businesses.
The system in California is fraught with fraud - processors bring in car-
loads of cans and run them through the system which is heavily subsidized
bringing them more dollars than they can get for the containers in
neighboring states.
Rhode Island and the County of Fairfax believe that by removing the high
revenue portion of the recycling stream (aluminum, etc.), curbside
collection and drop off center programs would be undermined. That is,
it wOlld lessen the revenues from these materials so necessary to operate
the programs and lead to increased taxation.
Virginia is blessed with small Mom and Pop stores in the outlying areas
who c buld, under this bill, become recycling centers placing an undue
burden on them (additional storage space, additional employees and
administrative costs, increased sanitation and equipment expenses). Some
would have to go out of business, especially near state lines where con-
sumers would cross the line to buy drinks and other groceries to by-pass
the h gher priced drinks in Virginia as a result of Virginia's deposit
fee.
This type law creates an expensive inconvenience that unnecessarily raises
the cc st of solid waste handling estimated to be ten times more. Why
all tl is additional expense brought on by a deposit bill when it can be
more (heaply handled through the normal municipal solid waste disposal
system~?
Virginlia, with the passage of legislation supported by retailers, manu-
factur~rs and wholesalers associated with the beverage industry, is already
heavil~ into curbside recycling and voluntary drop-off centers. These
facililties are backed by hundreds of private recycling centers providing
a comprehensive approach to overall recycling that requires no additional
bureau~racy and no additional subsidies.
We ask that in deference to the economic havoc this type legislation would
force pn the Virginia economy, you endorse comprehensive recycling programs
which ~peak to the total solid waste syndrome and not a small 2.5% beverage
contai~er part.

Re:
Task Force Recommendations: Long Range Plan for Salaries
and Fringe Benefits
Beginning in the summer of 1992, a task force comprised of
epresentatives from the local government, school division and
oth boards convened to develop a long range plan for salaries
nd fringe benefits in Albemarle County. This is the first time
uch an effort has been made to develop a plan that establishes
riorities for five years and which can be used as a guideline in
udget discussions. Previously, salary and benefit issues have
een discussed on an annual basis and it is recognized that
ithout a strategic plan, our goals in the areas of fringe
enefits and salaries may not be accomplished.
The enclosed plan presents the recommendations of the task
orce for fiscal years 1993-94 through 1997-98. The plan will be
iscussed with the board members at the joint meeting of the
oards on December 2. At this meeting, it is requested that the
oards hear the report and discuss with staff any major
isagreements with the initiatives or assumptions presented. The
ctual strategies as to when and how these initiatives could be
i plemented will be contingent upon available revenue and other
dgetary needs. Such details will be presented to the boards
roughout the coming months in the various discussions held
about the FY 93-94 budget. In projecting some of these budgetary
assumptions, however, we believe that the following will have to
addressed:
1. A general scale adjustment will be required in order to
maintain the County's competitiveness with its market;
NCVEMBER 25, 1992
Pll GE 2
2. An increase in the cost of medical insurance will be
necessary which will require an increase in the boards'
contributions to the employee share of insurance in
order to maintain the present contribution ratio;
3. The pay for performance plan will continue to be funded
for all employees other than the teachers.
In summary, the board members are being requested to hear
tte presentation and discuss the long range plan as a conceptual
dccument. The purpose of such a plan would be to provide
gtidance for budget discussions over the next five years, however
inplementation details of the plan will have to be developed in
l'ght of available revenues and other budgetary needs. We look
fcrward to discussing the plan with you on December 2.

ALBEMARLE COUNTY
LONG RANGE SALARY/BENEFITS PLAN
Albemarle County has been attempting to address the issue of
c mpetitiveness of its salaries and benefits for several years. Three years
a 0 the County funded a feasibility study about the possibility of
plementing a flexible benefits plan. At that time the consultant performing
e study recognized that the County was experiencing serious problems with
salaries and recommended that any benefits initiatives be postponed until
County's salaries achieved a competitive stance.
At that time, a major salary study was conducted which resulted in
arly all of the County's classifications being adjusted upward to achieve
mpetitiveness. The task force monitoring this project recommended that
" roficient experienced employees should be compensated at the mid-point of
eir respective salary ranges.1I Ideally, at the time of this study's
plementation, employees would have been moved to the midpoints of their new
s lary ranges. The cost of both implementing the new ranges and moving
e ployees to their midpoints was prohibitive, however the study was adopted
w"th this movement to midpoint as a goal.
2. Placement on Ranges: this component addresses the particular
that is paid for positions in relation to other positions. The task
rce monitoring the salary study recommended that concerns with individual
p sitions be addressed on an annual basis in order to avoid major shifts
w"thin the organization.
The fact that new ranges were implemented without the ability to move
erienced employees to a competitive place within their ranges continues to
esent problems. Essentially three components comprise a competitive salary
ogram:
1. Basic Scale: this is the base salary established for particular
i.e. the minimum that must be paid and the maximum that can be
scale must be adjusted annually based on the market.
3. Performance: this component addresses reward for individual
rformance vs. the base pay for a position. In order for a merit or
rformance-based program to operate effectively
a. the rewards must be perceived as adequate in relation to the
performance
b. the merit program must not take the place of adequate base salary.
In 1991-92, the salary study performed in 1990-91 was implemented,
h wever it was recognized that in order to avoid serious salary problems in
t e future, a long term plan was needed. During the summer of 1992, a task
f rce was convened with the following objectives:
P ge 2
1 To examine the current status of Albemarle County's salaries and
benefits.
2 To establish clear goals regarding where Albemarle County believes it
should be with regard to salaries and benefits.
3 To establish a five year plan to achieve Albemarle County's salary and
benefit goals.
4 To examine the concept of flexible benefits in order to determine if it
supports long range goals.
5 To examine the current performance award system to determine
whether it supports long range salary and benefit goals.
6 To examine whether the principle of commonality between the school
division and local government is effective.
7 To determine whether Albemarle County is accountable to the public in
its salary/benefit practices.
e attached recommendations represent the collaborative efforts of both local
vernment and school division representatives in identifying needs,
ioritizing recommendations and estimating costs associated with these
r commendations. The following assumptions were utilized in prioritizing
n eds and estimating costs:
1. Increase scales by a percentage indicated by annual
market survey. For purposes of planning, a 3% annual
projection is used. The base salary structure must remain
competitive with the market in order to assure that current
employees are compensated adequately and that the County can
attract highly qualified candidates for vacancies. The
consequences of not making annual adjustments, when necessary, are
that the County will again fall behind in its salaries, a
condition which compounds and is difficult to correct when it
exists.
P ge 3
2. No additional employees will be hired.
3. A 4% bonus pool for classified/administrative employees will
continue until 1997-98
4. There will be a 20% annual increase in medical insurance rates.
Cost is reflected in Flexible Benefits Initiative
5. The vesting of bonuses during 1993-94 will continue according to
current practice, i.e. in 2 1/2% increments.
The concerns related to both salaries and benefits require a significant
mmitment of resources. It is, however, the task force's belief that without
ediate recognition of these concerns, the problems will increase in their
verity and continue to have a negative impact in the future. The task force
so believes that the enclosed recommendations, if implemented, will have a
sitive impact on Albemarle County's continuing commitment to attract and
r tain highly qualified employees to provide excellence in service to the
unty's students and citizens.

PLAN
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
o
Initiative:
Teacher Salary Scale
Target Year: 1993-94
Recommendation:
Raise teacher scale to and maintain it at the same
level of competitiveness used for classified/
administrative scale, i.e. the midpoint of the market.
Rationale:
The teacher salary scale, while separate from the
local government scale, should be maintained at the
same level of competitiveness realized for other
positions in the County. The current scale structure
has been in place since 1986 and several problems were
being experienced as follows:
1) no increases were possible between
steps 3-8;
2) the scale only accommodated 12 years of
experience;
3) over half of the County's teachers were at
the top step of the scale
A committee comprised of teachers and the Director of Fiscal Services
sl~udied alternatives to the current scale and the Long Range Salary and
B~nefits Task Force is recommending the new scale for the following reasons:
1) it provides some increase for teachers in
the mid-level years of experience;
2) it raises the midpoint of the teacher
scale;
3) it provides recognition for up to 18 years
of experience which is more realistic for
the length of a career.

o
Initiative:
Address Salary Compression of
Classified/Administrative Staff
Target Year: 1993-94
Recormnendation:
Adjust current employees' placement on salary ranges
to reflect experience in Albemarle County.
Rationale:
Due to reclassifications of positions in the past, the
majority of classified/administrative employees are
currently paid within the entry level steps of the
salary ranges, i.e. A-E, with no recognition for
experience in the County. This has caused several
problems:
1) new employees earning the same or more than
current employees
2) morale problems with existing employees
3) lack of ability to recognize experience of new
employees due to concern of impact on current
employees
The following is recormnended to adjust for salary compression:
1D for employees with up to 5 years of service, adjust salary as follows:
STEP SERVICE
-
A 0 6 months
B 6 - 12 months
C 1 3 years
D 3 4 years
E 4 5 years
2D For those employees with more than five years of service and an average of
85% or more on the past 2 years of performance evaluations, provide one
additional step (2 1/2%) in FY 1993-94.
3D Amend the current policy which governs reclassification increases from the
5% salary increase to providing lateral movement to persons who are
reclassified. This an employee in pay range 16, step H would retain the
step H when reclassified to a higher pay range.
Adjusting for salary compression that has occurred in the past will
a low the County's salary structure to function as it was designed.

Initiative:
Recommendation:
Rationale:
o
Initiative:
Recommendation:
Rationale:
Allow Classified/Administrative staff to vest full
bonus amounts
Target Year: 1994-95
Remove steps in the salary ranges up to the midpoints
and allow employees to move up within their ranges by
whatever percentage these bonuses represented the
preceding year.
Presently, classified/administrative staff are limited
in the vesting of their salary bonuses as a function
of 2 1/2% steps in the ranges. Thus, if an employee
receives a 4.8% bonus, the maximum they may vest the
following year is one 2 1/2% step. This exacerbates
the compression problem. Removing the steps to
midpoint will allow employees to more quickly achieve
a level of competitiveness with their individual
salaries.
Recommendations regarding the payment of employees
above the midpoint will be made prior to 1994-95.
Phase in Flexible Benefits Plan
Target Year(s): 1993 -1998
Adopt a commitment to fully fund the employee coverage
of the mid-level medical insurance plan and phase in a
voucher system which employees can use toward a
variety of benefits.
Three years ago, the County funded a study of
implementing a flexible benefits program for its
employees. The study's recommendations were not
implemented due to the serious problems that existed
with the salary ranges and lack of competitiveness.
Presently, employees are provided a sum of money which
can only be put toward medical insurance. Employees
who do not need medical insurance receive no benefit
contribution. Approximately 350 eligible employees
are affected by this practice.
Choice in benefits is important in achieving
satisfaction with one's benefit package. The plan
being recommended would phase in a contribution to
employees who do not participate in the medical
P ge 4
insurance program. By the end of FY 97-98, a voucher
equal to 95% of the projected cost of the mid-level
medical insurance plan would be in effect for all
employees. This voucher could be used toward a
variety of benefits provided employees can prove that
they are covered by medical insurance. The phase-in
would be as follows:
SUBSCRIBER
NONSUBSCRIBER
1993-94 95% of Key Care III Employee Cost
$250
1995-96 95% of Key Care III Employee Cost
50% of Key Care
III Employee Cost
1997-98 95% of Key Care III Employee Cost
95% of Key Care
III Employee Cost
This Task Force would like to express its concern regarding the impact
o family medical insurance costs on employees and also on the provision of
g oup medical insurance to employees who retire from County Service. Further
r commendations on these issues will be presented at a later time.

Recommendation:
Rationale:
Increase Level of Salary Competitiveness
Target Year: 1995-96
Raise target of market competiveness from current
midpoint to upper third of the market.
Albemarle County should adopt a philosophy of high
expectations of performance and reward for its
employees. The County should attempt to be above
average in its compensation in order to attract and
retain the most highly qualified employees.
Increase Performance Rewards for Employees
Target Year(s) 1997-98
Increase bonus pool for classified/administrative
employees from 4% - 5% and increase career incentive
stipends for teachers and police officers by $1000 per
level.
By FY 97-98, the bonus pool for classified employees
would have remained at 4% for six years and the career
incentive stipends would have been in place for ten
years. A continuing commitment to recognize adequate
levels of performance rewards is necessary to maintain
the credibility of the performance evaluation system.

ROUND:
gust 11, 1992, authorization was given to transfer three (3) positions from the
1 Division to the Information Services Department along with all automation
nsibilities including Instructional Technology. At their joint meeting in October,
chool Board and Board of Supervisors asked that a status report be provided in order
nitor the transition. The attached report summarizes the issues and accomplishments
te.
SSION:
eport indicates that the biggest challenge thus far in the transition has been the
helming number of requests for assistance from the schools, mostly with target dates
sted before school opening. It was clear that these requests could not all be
ed, even with the entire seven member Support Team Staff which was largely dedicated
e projects. What has resulted is that many of the requests have been honored and
s have been given a target date and scheduled as resources are available.
One f the commitments made was to restructure the Instructional Technology position such
that well over the majority of his time would be spent on classroom technology issues
rath r than manual hardware and software installations which can now be performed by other
Supp rt Team members. Structure has been added to task and training requests so that
resp nse times can be monitored and an up-to-date status can be determined on an ongoing
basi .
sponse to the sensitivity of merging the functions and in an effort to solicit input
from a broad cross section of users, several user groups have been established including
a Te hnology Steering Committee which will provide direct comment to the process and
assi t in understanding the breadth of issues involved. All groups have been formed and
have met at least once with a regular schedule of meetings planned.
Last y, it should be noted that the Central Office Computer System (LAN) which provides
elec ronic mail access and access from the schools to various application software
pack ges has been vastly upgraded for better performance and up-time reliability. This
will provide the backbone to connect all of the County schools for direct data entry and
conn ctivity system wide.

ng relationships are being forged that in spite of minor problems at the onset seem
providing much stronger support for all involved.
11/24/92
STATUS ON THE TRANSFER OF REMAINING AUTOMATION RESPONSIBILITIES
FROM THE SCHOOL DIVISION TO INFORMATION SERVICES
The School Division has transferred the remaining areas of
automation support, which it had been performing internally, to
the Department of Information Services. The formal agreement was
completed on August 11, 1992. Since that date the staff of
Information Services has been busy at servicing the requirements
of Education.
There were two areas involved within this transfer.
1. Administrative-
a) support for all computer equipment used by
administrative staff in both the Central Office and in
the schools, plus support for "Schools Administrative
Student Information" system.
2. Instructional-
a) support for the school library system, the instructional
computer labs, and all other instructional computer
equipment.
b) support for instructional technology within the
classroom assisting School administrators responsible
for curricula and teachers on the use of technology.
Tasks to accomplish transfer -
When Information Services was notified that the transfers were to
formally take place, some preliminary planning had already begun
on what was needed to make as successful a transfer as possible.
Action on most ideas, however, had to wait until Information
Services had the appropriate authority given to it.
There were a number of tasks which had to be acted upon
immediately.
1. The first was the integration of three positions transferred
from the School Division. This included the transfer of two
existing staff members and the promotion of a third employee from
the School Division.
2. A second task was how to address all of the outstanding
requests, many of which were unknown to the Department before the
transfer.
3. A third task was how to cross train existing staff in areas of
technology with which the Department had little previous
experience (primarily, Apple and Macintosh computers and
instructional software).
PAGE 1
4. A fourth task was to find out about the budget which was in
place to support these efforts.
Each task will be addressed individually.
1. The integration of the staff has been completed with all three
positions functioning as part of the Support Staff of Information
Services. Currently, one employee has to remain located within
his previous area. Information Services is very hopeful that the
department will receive more space during August or September of
1993 and improve the environment greatly. The transfer has also
been difficult for some of these employees because the department
is more structured and requires greater documentation and
communication back to supervisors about daily activities. (Note
that most of efforts requiring more than a simple verbal
explanation are made into various types of projects or work orders
and then assigned by management. Staff time and effort on each is
reported back to management. Projects from the County and School
Division are evaluated on both the order that they are received
and their value, giving all users an opportunity to receive a fair
share of the staff's time.)
2. When the authority was received, Information Services had
already been involved in a number of administrative projects from
the temporary assignment during FY 91/92. Those still needing
work were scheduled for the Support Staff to complete during the
summer of 1992. They primarily focused around the installation of
a new version of the "Schools Administration Student Information"
system plus related projects.
In the middle of July 1992, the Department was made aware of a
number of Instructional Technology needs. These were better
defined when staff and authority were transferred in the middle of
August 1992. Information Services quickly was informed by the
schools that there were a large number of additional needs. In
some cases, school building administrators believed that their
projects had been scheduled for completion before the start of
school, while Information Services had been told that these
commitments had not been made. Each request was made into a
project. With the help and knowledge of the newly transferred
staff, a number of School Principals and other school
administrative staff, these projects were prioritized. The
Department has been working hard to complete each one as quickly
as possible. From the beginning, the work load made it an almost
impossible task to successfully finish these projects by the dates
requested. Information Services has tried to continuously monitor
the projects (as the Department normally would) and to communicate
back to the school wherever problems were anticipated. Knowing
that extraordinary efforts were necessary, the efforts of the
following were added to project resources:
1. the entire 7 person Information Services Support Staff
(including the 3 transfers) dedicated much of their time;
PAGE 2
I
2. a major investment of time from the Director and Deputy
Director of Information Services;
3. considerable time from school building staff;
4. considerable time from Building Services staff with
cabling (as well as other areas);
5. vendors who had already made commitments to these projects;
and,
6. other vendors and contractors who made themselves available
to assist in these efforts.
The following is a brief summary of these projects:
Total From 08/11/92
Total Education projects received 112 69
Total Education projects completed 73 37
Total Education projects still open: 39 32
* Projects are received continuously and this count will vary
almost daily.
Note that the projects referred to throughout this report do not
include mainframe development projects which are worked on by
a different group within Information services, the Development
staff. projects such as the "Development Tracking System"
continue on schedule.
3. Cross training has begun. Information Services contracted
with MACRO Educational Systems, the vendor for the "Schools
Administrative Student Information" system, to provide training
classes for School Division staff and our own Support Staff from
10/12/92 through 10/16/92. (A copy of the class schedule is
attached. )
A number of employees attended more than one class. The summary
of classes and attendance provided below reflects actual employees
and is not overstated by multiple attendance.
Total classes offered over the 5 days: 9
Total schools represented: 21
Total staff from the 21 schools: 34
Total staff from Central Office: 6
Total staff from Information Services: 6
I do not believe that School Division staff has ever before
received as broad an opportunity to learn about this software from
the vendor.
Members of Information Services staff have been working with John
Ford, Instructional Analyst, to learn about both the
Apple/Macintosh world and instructional software. The Department
has been trying to gradually remove John from manual installations
PAGE 3
of hardware and software, which he had been doing previously.
Currently, he spends approximately 40% of his time working with
school administrators and teachers providing instruction to them
and related technology analysis. The goal is that he will spend
approximately 85% to 95% of his time in these areas by early fall,
1993. It should be noted that John had been involved with
installations to a much larger extent prior to the transfer of
responsibilities.
4. A meeting was held on October 2, 1992 (see attached minutes)
to finalize details in the transfer of responsibilities. There
were two major topics. The first involved transfer of budgeted
funds to Information Services. Personnel costs for the three
positions are being transferred to the local government budget.
The operating budget line items for technology will remain within
the School Division under a separate fund, "Instructional
Technology", which will be managed by Information Services. The
second major topic involved the division of functions between
Information Services and Frank Morgan, Director, Curriculum
Development and Research. The assignment of functions went
satisfactorily and reinforced the role of Information Services as
a support group for Frank.
There are a number of other areas to report to on and these are
listed below.
1. User group meetings were held for both the coordinators of
"Schools Administration Student Information" system and the school
building facilitators.
The Information Services Technology Steering Committee held its
first meeting on 11/23/92. This meeting was delayed at the
suggestion of school staff until after the start of the school
year. A variety of school staff were invited to participate
including different types of positions from all levels of the
School Division. (See attached MEMORANDUM, dated 11/11/92,
inviting participation.)
This steering committee will be a valuable asset to Information
Services in providing guidance on technology needs. It will also
be an asset to Frank Morgan, aiding him in his planning of the
School Division curriculum. The committee's role in helping to
establish standards for technology will become the cornerstones
for future use of instructional technology throughout the entire
School Division.
2. Information Services now has the responsibilities for the full
repair and upgrade maintenance of all County and School Division
technology equipment. Actual repair and upgrade work is being
performed by a maintenance contractor, ViGYAN, and the Information
PAGE ..
services' Support Technician. The Support Technician primarily
maintains audio visual equipment and Apple computers.
Information Services plans to request that the maintenance
function incorporate a replacement procedure allowing equipment
which has become too expensive to continue to maintain to be
replaced.
The expansion of responsibilities for the Information Services
Department has created a significant challenge in meeting the
needs and desires of all County personnel. In spite of these
challenges, many additional resources are being provided to both
schools and local government through the involvement of the entire
seven member Support Team. It is the desire of the Information
Services Department that concerns be channeled through
departmental personnel who are in a position to respond to the
questions, and that all involved would recognize the need for open
communications. Information Services stands ready to work towards
better County and School technology support services.

Summary of October 2 Meeting
The following is a summary of the meeting which was held on Thursday,
Oc ober 2, 1992 for the purpose of finalizing the agreement to transfer of the
in tructional technology function from the school division to the local
go ernment, specifically to the department of Information Services. Mary King
re iewed the summary of the budget for instructional technology and
hi hlighted those amounts which would transfer to Information Services (see
at achment.) Mary also reviewed other pertinent information to include the
fo lowing:
1. Agreements, licenses, leases, etc. It was agreed that the
original documents would be transferred to Fred Kruger, if
possible, or that Fred would obtain copies from the Purchasing
Department where applicable.
2. Physical Inventories. It was agreed that if Fred Kruger needed
such inventories, his staff would have to accomplish this task
since no such inventories existed at the present time.
3. List of Vendors, etc, Names and addresses of vendors were
provided to Fred Kruger.
4. Training Lab and Software. Some discussion took place about the
transfer of the current training lab which is now housed in the
Media Services Center. Mary indicated that it would not be
possible to transfer th,i.s equipment since j tis now Ilsed for medj a
purposes as well as for instructional technology. Fred indicated
'.
Me 0
Oc ober 13, 1992
Pa e 2
that his department wanted to establish a training center where
users could try new equipment, software, etc. Mary offered the
use of the Media Center lab to Information Services at any time.
Dr. Paskel indicated that he hoped that there would not be any
duplication of equipment or services in establishing the new lab
for Information Services since the purpose of this transfer in
administration was to eliminate duplication.
5. Transfer of Furniture and Vehicles. Mary indicated that
arrangements could be made to move John Ford's furniture from the
Media Center to Information Services, Al Crittenden's furniture
is still being used by him in the Media Services Department.
Regarding the vehicles, the van used by Al Crittenden will be
transferred to local government as well as the old van previously
used as a backup for instructional technology. Tracy Holt will
arrange for the transfer of these vehicles from the school
division's insurance policy.
A discussion took place about various functions and where they should be
per ormed. The following functions were agreed upon as being those of
Inf rmation Services:
1. Furnish to the schools mainframe applications such as payroll,
personnel records, accounting, and the media center inventory and
reservation system.
2. Administer the education LAN and SASI functions.
3. Give technical support in trouble shooting hardware,
administrative software, and network problems.
4. Advise clients on purchases of equipment.
5. Supervise new installations of networks in consultation with
Building Services,
6. Maintain an up-to-date inventory of computer equipment.
7. Train clients in mainframe applications, use of LANs, and
administrative applications (e.g. DOS, Word Perfect, Lotus, SASI).
8. Investigate and review instructional software for clients.
9. Purchase hardware to be used for instructional purposes.

The following functions were assigned primarily to the Director of Curriculum
De\elopment, Frank Morgan, however Information Services will support Frank in
thEse efforts:
1. Work in K-12 classrooms with students and teachers on
instructional uses of computers.
2. Do long-term planning for providing instructional technology to
enhance instruction.
3, Integrate computer applications into the curriculum as appropriate
at each grade level.
4. Set student learning outcomes in technology and evaluate progress
in achieving them.
5. Recommend instructional technology for target populations who have
special needs (e,g, special education, gifted, talented),
6. Recommend selection of hardware to be used for instructional
purposes.
MalY King agreed to speak with staff at University of Virginia regarding the
trcnsfer of the VA, PEN account monitoring to Information Services. As
die cussed above, the technology examination center will remain in the Media
Services Department. It was agreed that Tracy Holt, Frank Morgan, Mary King
anc Fred Kruger would meet again to develop strategies for addressing
bucgetary issues such as long-range replacement of instructional technology
equipment. Subsequent to this meeting, Fred Kruger spoke to Rick Huff and
agreed that personnel costs associated with the three employees that have
transferred to Information Services should be transferred to local government
frem the school division budget. Operational accounts to support
instructional technology will remain in a school division cost center for
Instructional Technology to which only Fred Kruger or his designee would have
signing authority. Tracy Holt will prepare the request to have the personnel
costs transferred to local government by the School Board.
All present were thanked for their cooperation on this effort and the
meeting adjourned at 2:45 p.m.

11/11/92
I am inviting you to become a member of the Information Services
Technology Steering Committee. When Information Services was
asked to take responsibility for the administratb~s and
instructional technology operations within th~ ~chool Division, we
gladly committed to create a users group to help set the
priorities and directions for both areas within the School
Division.
This group can provide a valuable service by:

Retiree Health Insurance
A few weeks ago, I met with Carole Hastings and Rick Huff to
scuss the issue of allowing retirees to participate in the
unty's health insurance plan. Since the current legislation is
mewhat vague and could possibly change when the General
sembly reconvenes, we felt it would be premature for the County
establish a policy regarding retiree health insurance until
e legislation is finalized. At the same time, we felt it would
prudent to temporarily extend the period of time retirees are
lowed to remain on the County's health insurance plan. This
tion would benefit the retirees by allowing them to participate
the County's plan for a longer period of time while at the
me time giving the County time to develop a plan to address the
sue of retiree health insurance.
According to Federal law, an employer must allow a retiree
remain on the employer's health insurance plan for eighteen
nths following termination of employment. In June 1991,
proximately 37 employees retired under the Governor's early
tirement plan. The period of time these employees can remain
the county's health insurance plan expires in March 1993. I
commend the County allow these employees to remain on the
unty's health insurance plan until the legislation regarding
tiree health insurance is finalized and the County can
plement a plan to address the issue.
I would like to add this topic to the agenda for the Joint
ard meeting on Wednesday, December 2, 1993. It is an important
sue both Boards should discuss. Please feel free to contact me
extension 3343 should you require additional information.
ank you.

Court Square Terrace,
rlottesville, Virginia
Ste. #B

to take this opportuni ty to respond to your letter
arding health insurance benefits for retirees, especially as
y relate to those taking early retirement from the Albemarle
nty School System. As you know, this is a very complex issue
t is pending with both the School Board and eventually the Board
Supervisors.
Mr. witt is accurate in his recollection that the County's policy
nged in 1985, although I question how "quietly" it was done. I
e attached a memo from Dr. Hastings which I believe summarizes
decision process quite well. It is also important to note that
dollars involved in absorbing retirees into our group are quite
stantial. A 16% increase, as projected by Blue Cross several
rs ago, would increase the premiums required of our employees
h family coverage, like Mr. Witt, by approximately $690.00 per
r, each. Blue Cross advises that they may now be able to rate
retirees differently for premium purposes, but their claims
erience would be pooled with that of all employees.
Aside from the monetary implications, there are two pieces of
Ie islation which have been passed with effective dates after the
Ge eral Assembly meets again iQJanuary, 1993. Senate Bill 264, in
its current state, requires local governments to provide health
co erage to their retirees but assumes that the retirees can be
se arately rated from other employees. This still requires some
clarification as to the impact of their claims on our self-insured
plan. Information we have indicates that the Legislature will
re isit this Bill in the 1993 session.
~s: '
The Hon. Edgar S. Robb
November 5, 1992
Page 2
A second bill, House Bill 688, provides for a health insurance
credit for retirees, at the locality's expense for non-school
employees and to be shared based on the composite index for school
employees. This too has a due date after the next session and may
be amended to address concerns from local governments.
Having said all of this, it seems unwise for Albemarle County to
move to do anything until the effects of these two bills are known
and better information is received from our health insurance
carrier. This issue is scheduled to be discussed at a joint
meeting of the Board of Supervisors and School Board on December 2,
1992. The County is contemplating extending coverage for retirees
from the existing 18 months now required by federal legislation to
24 months in order to provide time for the General Assembly to
clarify the requirements, if any. I trust that you would support
legislation that enabled localities to address the issue as they
see fit as opposed to mandating this cost to either the County or
our employees.
Lastly, I believe that one alternative suggested to this dilemma
bears further study. The state's health insurance plan currently
has provisions for state retirees. If this coverage could be
offered to localities for their retirees at the retiree's cost,
adequate coverage at reasonable cost seemingly could be achieved
without spreading the burden to the rest of our employees. I know
that you will work closely with Albemarle County on this issue just
as you have on others. If I may be of any assistance on this
matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,

e: Letter to Senator Robb Regarding Retiree Medical Coverage
Recently I became aware of a letter that Charles Witt had sent to
ator Ed Robb regarding the County's practice of not allowing retirees to
ain on the group medical insurance policy. I felt that it was important
you to have the background on this issue.
Prior to 1984, the County did allow its retirees to remaln on the group
ical insurance policy. At that time, Blue Cross/Blue Shield required that
h group vote as to whether they would continue this practice. Blue Cross
red with the individuals who comprise the County's group, i.e. the Joint
urity Complex, Service Authority, CATEC in addition to the school division
local government, the demographics and projected rate impacts of
tinuing the retirees as part of the active group. Retirees negatively
act the rates of active group members for several reasons:
1) retirees tend to use more medical insurance
2) retirees tend to have more serious medical problems
to the increased number of retirees that the County would likely have in
uing years, the cost of medical insurance would significantly rise if
irees were allowed to continue on the group. Since the County policy is
f-funded, i.e. rates are set based on the experience of the group, the
act of this usage from retirees would be even more significant since the
1 of members is not as large as with policies that are rated against the
eral population. After discussion, the decision of the collective entities
prising the Albemarle County medical insurance group was to exclude
re irees from the group. I need to emphasize that no decision affecting the
gr up can be made in isolation. Thus Mr. Witt's contention that this decision
wa made quietly by Mr. Agnor, former County Executive, and myself with the
Bo rd of Supervisors could not have occurred.
MEMO
NOVEMBER 2, 1992
PAGE 2
In 1985, I brought forward to the boards a recommendation for a
Voluntary Early Retirement plan that allowed employees to retire early from
VRS and receive the employee contribution toward medical insurance for a
period of five years or until age 65, whichever came first. The rationale
behind this was to assist retirees in offsetting their medical insurance
expenses by paying them the same amount that active employees receive for
medical insurance. At age 65, federal assistance begins for medical
insurance.
Approximately three years ago, Bob Brandenburger worked with a
representative group of employees to review the County's fringe benefit
programs. At that time, the group was exploring the idea of flexible
benefits. The issue of retiree inclusion on the group medical program was
again raised and an estimate of approximately 16% increase in the rates
charged to active employees for insurance was provided by Blue Cross. The
employees representing all participants in the group plan recommended that
retirees not be included in the Albemarle County plan. Again, the fact that
an increasing number of retirees was eligible for such coverage would have
significantly impacted the claims experience of the group and thus all
employees would have had to pay more for medical insurance at a time when
rates were escalating any way.
In summary, the issue of retiree inclusion on the County plan has been
discussed at various times throughout the past eight years and consistently
the decision has been to exclude such individuals from the group due to the
adverse impact on the rates of active employees. Should you require
additional information, please feel free to contact me.

ECT: House Bill 688 - Health Insurance Credit
House Bill 688, passed by the 1992 session of the General
ernbly and approved by the Governor, provides that the virginia
irement System (VRS) administer a health insurance premium
dit for retired teachers from localities who elect to
ticipate. The bill provides that any retired teacher of a
ticipating school division with at least 15 years of VRS service
dit may receive a monthly credit against his health insurance
mium equal to $1.50 per year of service, up to a maximum of the
er of the monthly premium amount or $45 per montn.
In order for a school division to elect to participate,
employer sponsored health insurance plan that covers its
irees must be provided. The plan must cover both pre and post
65 retirees. School divisions must have the school board adopt
a resolution and provide such resolution to the VRS and the
De artment of Education by July 1 of a given year to elect to
participate in the program effective the next July 1. For
instance, in order to elect participation effective July 1, 1994,
which is the earl iest possible date, a local i ty must make such
notification no later than July 1, 1993.
The local school board's cost to provide the credit will
be determined by the VRS actuary. The VRS intends to have
p ojections of the cost for individual school divisions by early
s ring 1993. The local school division and the State will share in
t e cost of the credit with the State's share being determined by
t e composite index used for SOQ accounts. The notification period
r ferred to above allows sufficient time for tee state's share of
t e cost to be made available through the Department of Education's
F inge Benefit reimbursement.
The same option is available to political subdivisions
and school divisions with nonprofessional coverage. However, the
state will not share in the cost of the credit for nonprofessional
retirees.
Further information about the actual administration of
this program will be provided to school divisions, along with the
cost projections, by early spring. In the meantime, if you have
questions, please call Ms. Donna M. Blatecky, Assistant Director
for Benefit Programs and services, Virginia Retirement System, at
(804) 786-8785, extension 150, or to Mrs. Kathryn S. Kitchen,

e Honorable David P. Bowerman, Chairman

1 McIntire Road
arlottesville, VA 22902-4596
ar Chairman Bowerman:
As you are well aware, April 13, 1993 will mark the 250th
niversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson, and a wide array of
mmemorative events will be taking place during the year.
nticello has been developing their own activities for several
ars and is coordinating efforts of cultural organizations
rldwide. The University of Virginia has also planned many
tivities, primarily of an academic nature.
The Albemarle County Historical Society has joined a coalition
mposed of the Friends of Jefferson-Madison Regional Library (J-
L), J-MRL itself, the Virginia Discovery Museum, the Senior
nter, Inc. and Thommason Grant Publishing to organize some
mmunity programming in honor of the occasion for all age groups.
I am writing to ask for the County's cooperation and assistance
w'th one of these events.
The Society would like to organize a community birthday party
f r Mr. Jefferson to take place on the grounds of the Albemarle
C unty Courthouse and Jackson Park late on the afternoon of Tuesday
A ril 13, 1993. The tentative times we are discussing are from
f om 5:30 to 7:00, though we may shift that somewhat as planning
c ntinues.
I am writing for permission from the Board of Supervisors to
u e the Courthouse grounds, and am sending a letter to City Council
f r permission to use Jackson Park. Jefferson's associations with
t e Courthouse and Court Square Historic district make this a very
a propriate location. We are also requesting that the City let us
r serve the Recreation Center (old Armory) on Market Street. as a
b ckup site in case of rain, and to waive the normal fee charged
f r its use. We are not asking for any direct funding from the
C unty, though we would need assistance from the County's St:aff
Bowerman

Services and Parks and Recreation Departments (and the City's
staff) concerning such logistics as trash removal, choosing the
site for the Municipal Band to play, etc.
This would be a free event, open to the public, and we would
hope to attract both downtown workers and parents who could bring
their children after school. We have invited the Municipal Band to
play, and are awaiting a reply from their Board of Directors. The
Society hopes to persuade bakeries to enter birthday cakes in a
competition for the best-decorated cake, around Jeffersonian
themes, and we will have a new walking tour brochure about "Mr.
Jefferson's Charlottesville" available to distribute. The Virginia
Discovery Museum will also distribute passes to their upcoming
exhibit on "Childhood in Jefferson's Virginia." No alcoholic
beverages would be served. The idea is to do something that is
simply fun for families, garnering as much community participation
as possible, which will celebrate the occasion.
Before we proceed further with our planning, we wanted to
contact the Board of Supervisors for your endorsement and
permission to use these public facilities. This is a wonderful
opportunity to bring many facets of our community together to
celebrate the contributions of our most famous native son. We hope
you will agree. If you have any further questions, please let me
know.
