HomeMy WebLinkAbout1979-04-11 Dr. Iachetta replied that because the children are in school a good part of the 9-6
operation time, that maybe the library should adjust their hours to match the needs of the
community. He also feels that the library should go to the people instead of the other way
around. He is in favor of supporting more branches in the county, especially with the high
cost of gasoline. He feels that McIntire should reconsider what hours they are open rather
than staying open more hours.

is no roadway. Mr. Morris was advised to halt construction until the matter was resolved.
He then petitioned the Board of Zoning Appeals for a variance to the setback requirements.
The variance was approved yesterday. Mr. Agnor said he has discussed the matter with Mr.
Joe Richmond, Sr., attorney for Mr..Morris. He indicated to Mr. Richmond the normal
procedure necessary for an abandonment which resulted in the above petition. Also included
with the letter was an extract from the minutes of November 19, 1964 whereby the maintenance
was abandoned. Mr. Agnor said this morning the Clerk informed him that more than three
property owners are involved since there are quite a number of parcels served by this road.~
Mr. Dan S. Roosevelt, Resident Highway Engineer, was present and noted that the Highway
Department has no interest in this road.
Mr. St. John explained the procedures for an abandonment as set out in Virginia Code

Agenda Item No. 3e. Vacate a portion of Leed's Lane.
This item was deferred from February 14, 1979 pending a rezoning request, ZMA-79-04,
for Mr. Ronald Smullen. On March 21, 1979, the Board approved ZMA-79-04 with the proffer
to upgrade Leed's Lane to state standards. Therefore, this request is a conflict. Motion

AYES:'' Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and Roudabush.

Agenda Item No. 3f. Keene Landfill Easement.
This was deferred from March 14, 1979 because the Board was concerned that the deed
did not contain any mention of right or denial of right for the applicant to subdivide his
property. Mr. St. John redrafted the deed and noted the change in the last sentence which
reads "the right of way is pertinent to and shall run with the land of the Grantee so long
as that land shall remain unsubdivided." He said Mr. Ray Marshall, Grantee, had not agreed
to this wording but was present at this meeting.
Mr. Marshall said the language would be satisfactory if it contained a provision
allowing him to divide into not more than two tracts. Mr. St. John said the additions of
the wprds "into not more than two tracts" would accomplish what Mr. Marshall desires. Mr.
Fisher asked if the wording would make it clear, if the property is divided into two tracts,
that the owner of the second parcel is also bound by this agreement and cannot subdivide.
Mr. St. John felt it would. Mr. Lindstrom did not see any problem allowing him to divide
into two parcels. He then offered motion to adopt the following deed of easement with the
change in the last sentence as suggested by Mr. St. John. Dr. ~achetta seconded the motion
and same carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and Roudabush.
~AYS: None.

April 1i, 1979 (Regular--Day Meeting)
Agenda Item No. 3g. Report on Status of Roads in Terrybr0ok Subdivision.
Mr. J. Ashley Williams, Assistant County Engineer, noted a meeting held tast week
between the Highway Inspector, Charles Terry, John Anderson, Preston Stallings and himself
concerning improvements necessary for having a road in Terrybrook Subdivision accepted into
the Secondary System. Mr. Williams said the necessary improvements have been pointed out
and all parties involved have agreed to do their share of the work. Mr. Roudabush then
suggested, this be put o'n the next month's agenda for action if the work is completed.
Agenda Item No. 3~. Whitewood Road.
Mr. Roosevelt noted letter received from Mr. David J. Wood requesting some action on
Whitewood Road. He then summarized the history of the request. On December 20, 1973, a
resolution was adopted by the Board to request the Highway Department to accept into the
State Secondary System, a road approximately 2,973.95 feet in length. Then on March 20,
1975, another resolution was adopted requesting that a road approximately 2,380.64 feet in
length be taken into the system. On July 17, 1975, letter was received from the Highway
Department accepting 0.563 mile in length of the road. Therefore, a resolution is now
needed to accept the remainder into the State System. Mr. Roosevelt said the Highway
Department is at fault for this and is willing to accept this section into the System. He
requested that he be permitted to write the resolution. M~R~osevelt said the two questions
involved are: 1) If the Board wants to add this section of the road and 2) Understanding
that the Highway Department will have to do some maintenance which has not been maintained
in the past three years. The resolution needs to indicate that the Board is requesting
this section be added to the state system and some secondary maintenance funds will have to
be expended to correct some minor things.
Mr. Fisher asked Mr. Tucker his feelings about whether this piece of road should
become part of the State Secondary System. Mr. Tucker said yes.
Mr. Roosevelt noted a gap of 150 feet will still remain. The 150 feet belong to Dr.
Hurt. He has not brought it up to state standards. Mr. Roosevelt said that is not the
Highway Department's fault. He also noted that if this section had been taken in four
years ago, no maintenance fee would have been necessary because maintenance funds would
have been available. However, a maintenance fee is now necessary. Motion was then offered
by Dr. Iachetta to authorize Mr. Roosevelt to prepare a resolution to have the above
section taken into the State Secondary System. Mr. Lindstrom seconded the motion and same
carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and Roudabush.
NAYS: None.
Mr. Williams said he discussed the 150 foot gap with Mr. Jim Hill, agent for Dr.
Charles Hurt. In order to have this section taken in, Dr. Hurt will have to post a bond,
maintenance fee and make repairs to the road. After a brief discussion, motion was offered
by Br. Iachetta to request the Engineering staff to notify Dr. Charles Hurt, in writing, of
the County's desire to have the 150 foot section of Greenbrier Drive (between Route 29
North and Whitewood Road) up to state standards in order to have it accepted into the State
Secondary System. Mr. Lindstrom seconded the motion and same carried by the following
recorded vote:
AYES: Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and Roudabush.
NAYS: None.
Agenda Item No. 3i. Other Highway Matters.
A resolution was adopted by the Board on February 14., 1979 requesting acceptance of
Nottingham Road i'nto the State Secondary System. Mr. Roosevelt sent the resolution to the
Secondary Road Division Office and received a letter back stating that "We would be amenable
to waiving the performance bond requirement for the construction of this road only if the
developer could no longer be held financially accountable and if the request was made by
the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors." Therefore, Mr. Roosevelt requested a resolution
be adopted by the Board requesting that Nottingham Road be added without a performance
bond. Dr. Iachetta then offered motion to adopt the following resolution. Mr. Roudabush
seconded the motion and same carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and Roudabush.
NAYS: None.
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County,
Virginia, that the Virginia Department of Highways and Tra~mportation be
and is hereby requested to accept into the Secondary System of Highways,
subject to final inspection and approval by the Resident Highway Department,
the following road in Westmoreland Subdivision:
Beginning at the centerline intersection of Nottingham Road
and Berwick Court, thence in a southwesterly direction 175 feet
to-the end of Nottingham Road.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Virginia DePartment of Highways and
Transportation be and is hereby guaranteed a 50 foot unobstructed right of
way along this requested addition as recorded by plat in the Office of the
Clerk of the Circuit Court of Albemarle County in Deed Book 423, page 19.
AND FURTHER RESOLVED since this road has been in existence for nine years,
the Board of Supervisors requests the Virginia Department of Highways and
Transportation to waive requiring the performance bond with the understanding
that should repairs become necessary during the first year the road is in
the Secondary System, funds for such repairs will be taken from unallocated
funds in the highway budget.
Since road view requests have been received, Mr. Agnor suggested the road viewers be
appointed. Motion was then offered by Mr. Dorrier to appoint Messrs. John Higginson,
Alonzo Jones and William L. Rer~aolds as the road viewers for 1979. Mr. Lindstrom seconded
the motion and same carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and Roudabush.
NAYS: None.
Mr. Henley requested the opportunity to appoint someone from his district at a later
meeting.
Motion was then offered by Mr. Lindstrom, seconded by Dr. Iachetta to set the public
hearing for the Route 29 North Corridor Study for May 10, 1979 at 7:30 P.M. in the Albemarle
County Courthouse. The mot~ion carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and Roudabush.
NAYS: None.
Mr. Dorrier he has received complaints because there are no centerlines on Routes 620
and 795. Mr. Roosevelt said he would look into the matter with the Traffic Engineer. He
noted Route 795 is scheduled for resurfacing this year. If there is any maintenance money
available, Route 622 will also be resurfaced.
Mr'. Lindstrom said he has received complaints about the deep culverts at the inter-
section of Georgetown and Barracks Road. Mr. Roosevelt said the situation was examined
when the traffic signal was installed and the road widened to put in a turn lane. He
agreed it is dangerous but is needed for drainage and this culvert has been marked with
warning signs.
Dr. Iachetta said the shoulder of Indian Springs Road as you ieave Carrsbrook Drive is
broken.
Mr. Roudabush questioned the possibility of improving Route 769. Mr. Roosevelt said
right of way is needed and it would be handled as other improvements are handled.
Not Docketed. Mr. Fisher asked for an update from the Planning Commission on revision
of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Robert W. Tucker, Jr., Director of Planning, said the Planning
Commission has been delayed by a couple of major issues. The issues basically involved the
agricultural district. Mr. Tucker said various sections of the ordinance have been scheduled
for Planning Commission review on May 14.
Mr. Lindstrom said the Chairman of the Planning Commission, Colonel Washington, told
him that a letter will be sent to the Board asking for some advice and guidance. The items
being asked are: 1) The possibility of distributing more maps. 2) Another public hearing
before the Planning Commission concludes their work. Mr. Tucker said the Planning Commission
wants some direction on submission of the Zoning Ordinance; whether the entire Ordinance
should be submitted with the Zoning Map or whether they should submit the text and continue
working on the map. If the Planning Commission decides to have a public hearing, more
funds will be needed.
Mr. Lindstrom felt the text of the Ordinance should be submitted as soon as possible
instead of waiting for the map. Mr. Henley felt the Planning Commission should be allowed
all the time needed. Mr. Dorrier felt the public desired to be part of the process and he
supported another public hearing. After some discussion, Mr. Fisher felt the consensus was
to have the text submitted as it is completed, with submission of the map when it is finished.
Agenda Item No. 4. Request to Sign Fire Service Contract.
Mr. Agnor said the fire service contract was approved by the Board on February 14,
1979 with authorization for signature pending approval by City Council. City Council has
approved same. Therefore, the contract is ready for signature. Motion was then offered by
Nr. Lindstrom, seconded by Mr. Roudabush, to authorize the Chairman to execute the Fire
Service Contract as set out on pages 162 and 163 of Minute Book 17. The motion carried by
~]~e following recorded vote:
AYES:
NAYS:
Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and Roudabush.
None.

Agenda Item No. 7. Appropriation: Chris Green Parking Lot.
Mr. Agnor said after two summers of crowded parking conditions, it was decided that
the existing parking lot needed to be redesigned and expanded to b~ compatible with the
beach area. Several weeks ago, funds were requested to conduct a survey necessary to
determine the exact location for the parking facility. The engineering department has
prepared the plans. The site plan was approved by the Planning Commission last night.
Therefore, they are ready to go to bid. Mr. Agnor said before going through the bid process,
he wanted the Board's approval for an allocation of the Capital Improvement funds needed
for the project~
Mr. Earl Sudduth, Director of Parks and Recreation, was present and introduced Mr.
David McCleary, from the Engineering Department who prepared the plans. Mr. McCleary said
about 130 additional parking spaces are needed to accommodate expected needs. Therefore, a
parking lot has been designed with that amount of spaces and as much woodlands as possible
has been preserved. The design also provides for pedestrian walkways. He said the surface
of the parking area will be compacted gravel and the entrance road will be surface treated.
Mr. McCleary said the Planning Commission also requested the Board to provide additional
funds to construct another picnic area along with the parking area construction. Between
ten and twenty picnic tables are proposed. The cost of the picnic tables has not been
included in the estimate but most of the work can be done by parks staff.
Mr. Fisher asked if any grading would be required for the picnic area. Mr. Sudduth
said most of the cost will be the grading and clearing itself. The picnic tables can be
produced for $75.00. Dr. Iachetta asked if the tables were to be made of wood. Mr. Sudduth
said yes. Dr. Iachetta asked the life span of those compared to concrete. Mr. Sudduth
said the life span is good but there is a major problem with vandalism. They plan to
locate some of the old tables with the new. Dr. Iachetta suggested that concrete tables be
examined. He felt the parks staff could build those as well.
Mr. Roudabush asked if there is room for an automobile to turn around .once it is in
the parking area. Mr. Sudduth said yes. Hopefully, the present problems of overcrowdedness
will be eliminated by this parking lot expansion. Mr. Sudduth said when the parking area
is filled, access to the swimming facility will be closed. There is no control over that
now.
Mr. Agnor said hopefully this project can be completed by the beginning of the summer
season. He recommended that $30,000 be appropriated from the Capital Improvements Budget.
Motion was then offered by Dr. Iachetta, seconded by Mr. Roudabush, to adopt the following
resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County,
Virginia, that $30,000..00 be, and the same hereby is, appropriated from
the Capital Improvements Budget to Code 19.10L.3--Chris Green Parking Lot.
The foregoing motion carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iache~ta, Lindstrom and Roudabush.
NAYS: None.
Agenda Item No. 8. Amend Contract on Juvenile Detention Home.
Mr. Agnor said the Shenandoah Valley Juvenile Detention_Home__ contract provides for
additional owners to be aceent~ ~ *~ ~~~ .........
April tl, 1979 (Regu~r--D~Y~~:~ Meeting)
jurisdictions in terms of bed space and capacity, the governing bodies of each of the
participating jurisdictions have to approve the contract revision~ Rockbridge County is
asking to join and their proportionate share will be $126,750.00. Mr. Agnor recommended
approval of the amended contract to allow Rockbridge County to join subject to payment of
their proportionate share. Mr. Fisher asked the impact on existing facilities. Mr. Agnor
said adding jurisdictions does not increase the capacity because they presently handle the
children from those jurisdictions. This simply makes them an owner instead of a renter.
Motion was then offered by Dr. Iachetta to approve the following agreement and authorize
the Chairman to execute same. Mr. Dorrier seconded the motion and same-carried by the
following recorded vote:
AYES:
NAYS:
Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and Roudabush.

Detention Home, the sum of $37,500 plus the sum of $89,250 representing the
increase in construction cost amounting to 238% for a total of $126,750.
255
April 1~, 1979 (Regular--Day
2) That such funds paid by each such applicant local government shall
be held in reserve and invested in appropriate government securities until
needed for capital improvements to the Shenandoah ~alley Juvenile Detention
Home. Such investments shall be made in a manner to obtain a maximum amount of
interest consistent with secure investment as can be reasonably expected.
3) That while such funds are held in reserve all interest collected from
such investments shall accrue to the benefit of the Juvenile Detention Commission
for the purpose of financing the operation of the facilities~of the Shenandoah
Valley Juvenile Detention Home or for capital improvement purposes for such
facilities, whichever the commission may determine to be appropriate.
4) Upon termination of this agreement each applicant local government
shall cease to be a sponsoring member and all rights and privileges which
such applicant local government may have enjoyed as a sponsoring local
government shall cease.
5) That such applicant local government shall pay into the operating
fund of the Shenandoah Valley Juvenile Detention Home by September l, 1979 an
additional amount equal to one-eighth (1/8) of the operating balance on hand
at the Detention Home as of June 30, 1979. Such payment shall be added to and
become a part of the operating balance for such facility.
6) That the payment for operational costs by such new local
government sponsors for the remainder of the first fiscal year shall be
determined by using the average per diem cost for the prior fiscal year and
multiplying this amount by the number of detention days of utilization of
the facility for confinement of Juveniles from the respective new sponsoring
member jurisdictions. Such payments shall be made tri-monthly. After
completion of the fiscal year in which the new sponsoring local government
becomes a member, the local share of cost for operation of the Shenandoah
Valley Juvenile Detention Home shall be prorated among all the then sponsoring local
governments according to the number of detention days of utilization of the
facility by each of the sponsoring Jurisdictions.
7) That it is understood and agreed that the Juvenile Judge from each
local governmental jurisdiction shall serve as a member ex-officio of the
Juvenile Detention Commission as provided by law and that each person serving
on the Shenandoah Valley Juvenile Detention Home Commission shall have one vote on all
matters coming before such commission.
8) That in addition to the Juvenile Judges, membership on the
Juvenile Detention Commission shall consist of only one (1) member from each
of the then sponsoring local governments, and that such member shall have
qualifications and be elected in a manner provided by State law, but with the
understanding that insofar as it is possible to do so within the framework
of state law, the governing bodies will give due consideration to the election
as a representative to the commission of the chief administrative officer of the
unit of local government or some other person vitally interested in the
Shenandoah Valley Juvenile Detention Home and having direct liaison with the
governing body of the unit of local government.
9) That in addition to the regular members, each then sponsoring unit
of local government shall designate in the same manner as required for the regular
member, one or more alternate representative members to serve upon request
of the regular member, as the member of the unit of local government to the
Shenandoah Valley Juvenile Detention Home Commission during the absence of the
regular member. Such alternate representative when serving as the regular
member shall be entitled to vote and participate in all commission action and
deliberation as if the alternate representative was the regular member.
10) That this agreement shall become effective on July 1, 1979 provided
it has been approved by all present sponsors and the applicant local government.
Agenda Item No. 9. Lottery Permit. Mr. Agnor presented a lottery permit request for a

for the raffle to be held on this property. Mr. Agnor said no. Mr. Fisher felt approval of
the property owner was needed. Motion was then offered by Mr. Dorrier to approve the lottery
ermit for Camp Holiday Trails in accordance with the Board's adopted rules for issuance of
IP
isame and subject to the property owner's approval. Mr. Roudabush seconded the motion and

.~!~dopted rules
YES: Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and Roudabush.
AYS: None.
Agenda Item No. 10. Request for Subsidy: JAUNT.
Mr. Agnor introduced Mr. Lloyd Wilson, Executive Director of Jefferson Area United
Transportation (JAUNT), to the Board. Mr. Wilson presented the following request with the
reasons for asking financial supporting of the County during fiscal year 1979-80 outlined in
the letter:
"As I have discussed informally with County Executive Guy Agnor, JAUNT
is presently faced with the necessity of replacing two major funding sources:
non-renewable Rural Mass Transportation Demonstration Grant (Section 147), and
financial support we have realized through utilization of CETA employees. JAUNT
has identified a permanent funding source capable of meeting our financial
needs on a long term basis: Section 18 of the Urban Mass Transportation Act,
which was recently signed into law.~ In order to take full advantage of the
potential of the Section 18 Program as a primary underwriter of JAUNT's operating
and non-operating deficit, JAUNT must raise additional local match money above
and beyond its operation and contract revenues. The purpose of this memo
is to request $6,000 in non-federal fun~s from Albemarle County to underwrite
JAUNT services to Albemarle citizens.
JAUNT has depended heavily on the CETA program to pay a large portion of
its personnel cost and thereby reduce the overall cost of transportation to
passengers and their sponsors. At the present time, one-half of all JAUNT employees
are CETA participants; this proportion has been roughly constant over the past
12 months. However, increasing restrictions on the CETA program make it more
and more difficult to recruit qualified employees who are also CETA eligible
and nearly impossible to keep them. The trend of increasing restrictions
on who is eligible to participate in the CETA program, how much they can be
paid, and the maximum length of time during which any individual can participate
indicate that JAUNT would be unwise to continue to depend upon CETA employees
to provide such a large proportion of its total labor force. Sound management
practice dictates that J~AUNT reduce its participation in CETA to a maximum of
one or two positions, and that these positions be permanent staff to the
JAUNT operation.
In 1977, JAUNT received a two year non-renewable federal Rural Mass
Transportation Demonstration Grant (Section 147), in the total amount of
$275,000. This demonstration program was the forerunner of Section 18 of
UMTA, the program which we hope to utilize for permanent funding for JAUNT.
The demonstration funds have been used to buy a number of new vans for JAUNT,
to underwrite the salary and operation expenses of drivers and vans in counties
surrounding Charlottesville, and to cover JAUNT's overhead and administrative
expenses. The Section 147 Grant funds will be exhausted sometime in early June.
JAUNT is taking a number of actions to replace these two major sources of
funding. First, we anticipate, instituting a 25% fare hike on 7/1/79. Because a
number of agencies which sponsor transportation with JAUNT have fixed-dollar
transportation budgets and because any fare increase inevitably results in
lower demand for service, we anticipate that this 25% fare increase will increase
our actual revenues only 17%.
Secondly, JAUNT is working to increase the efficiency of its operations and
to eliminate those services which are economically least viable. Our operations
staff is working with the organizations which sponsor JAUNT transportation to
improve the efficiency of our service by rescheduling activities and the
associated transportation requests so that the average passenger loads for each
trip can be increased. This decreases both the total cost of JAUNT operations
and the cost per trip.
A third area in which JAUNT is working to replace our lost funding is
the revenue JAUNT receives from social service agencies that sponsor transportation
for their clients. Although the final Section 18 regulations have not been
promulgated it seems that the contract revenue JAUNT receives may be used, in
full or in part, as the local match money in Section 18 funding. JAUNT accounting
personnel are now in the process of identifying the source of~ funds used by each
of the sponsoring agencies to determine what the total amount of eligible funds
might be.
The fourth action which JAUNT has taken is to approach the local
governments whose citizens JAUNT serves to ask for direct financial support of
JAUNT's services to their constituents. After utilization of Section 18
associated state programs for support of rural transportation systems and its own
operating and contract revenues, we have identified an additional need of Just
under $30,0003 and JAUNT is asking each jurisdiction to contribute a portion of
this need, equal to the total portion of JAUNT activity which is directed toward
citizens of that jurisdiction.
Since Albemarle County residents make up approximately 20% of all JAUNT
passengers, JAUNT is requesting the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors allocate
$6,000 in non-federal money to JAUNT. JAUNT will match this $6,000 with $6,000
in federal funds which JAUNT is receiving in contract revenues and then submit the
entire $I2,000 as local matching share so as to receive another $12,000 in
Section 18 funds. Because of Section 18 regulations, the already existing $6,000
in federal contract revenue which JAUNT will match with the Albemarle County.
contribution cannot be used by itself to receive Section 18 funds.
A final aspect to the JAUNT financial situation is that because the Section

Mr. Wilson also requested that the County appoint a member to the JAUNT Board of Director
He said if the County supports JAUNT financially, they should have a voice in the operations.
Over the two years that JAUNT has been in operation, a demand for transportation has become
evident in the rural sections including Crozet and Scottsville.
Mr. Roudabush asked if this will be an annual request. Mr. Wilson said yes. Dr.
Iachetta felt the whole question of transportation in the county particularly in the urbanized
areas, needed to be addressed. He was concerned with a piecemeal approach to the problem.
Mr. Fisher said this funding procedure is entirely different from other regional services.
He said normally when more than one jurisdiction is involved there is a contractural agreement
which is mutually signed by all parties. He does, however, support JAUNT because it is an
energy efficient way to serve people when there are no other forms of transportation available
but he was concerned about this approach and felt it needed to be explored further.
Mr. Lindstrom asked how many trips per day furnish transportation for those going to
and from work. Mr. Wilson said it is under 10% of their total trips.
Mr. Fisher felt a meeting with the other Jurisdictions involved should be held to see
if a contractural agreement is desirable. He then suggested certain documents be presented
for the May 9, meeting: How JAUNT is set up; who appointed the present Board members, their
responsibilities; and hiring practices. Mr. Fisher noted that House Bill 1552, recently
passed by the General Assembly will permit bus systems operating in one Jurisdiction to
provide services to neighboring jurisdictions. He suggested that copies of the bill be
distributed to the Board. He agreed with Dr. Iachetta that the entire question of transportat:
should be studied. Mr. Dorrier then expressed his support for this request. Mr. Fisher
also suggested that appointment of a member to JAUNT's Board be deferred until May 9.
