He is a former member of the Board of Supervisors elected from'the Scottsville District in 1968 and served for two.years until he resigned to go to Seminary. He is now Episcopal Priest and Curate of St. Anne's Parrish in January 2, 1976 in which there are presently eleven boys who attend Albemarle County Public Schools.

She has taught in two other counties in the State of Virginia and in South Carolina. For the last ten years, she has been a teacher at Miller School. She has three children in the public school system of Albemarle, has been active in the P.T.A.'s of Brownsville, Henley, and Jack Jouett and has been a member of the Band Boosters for these schools. Mr. Henley recommended for appointment Carl Van Fossen to represent the White Hall District. He said Mr. Van Fossen is the past Chairman of the Albemarle County School Board and he feels that his actions in the past speak well for him. Dr. Iachetta recommended for appointment Mrs. Elizabeth P. Rosenblum to represent the Charlottesville District. He said she has a B.S. in Nursing from the University of Virginia and a Masters from Ru~gers..

He is presently an agent for Equitable Life Assurance Company. Although, he is employed as an agent for Equitable, another agent represents the llbemarle County School Board in their group life. Mr. Roudabush said he obtained an ~opinion from the Commonwealth's Attorney on this matter and was told that the potential nominee does not have a conflict of interest which is sufficient to disqualify him from serving as a member of the Albemarle County School Board. If the insurance plan comes before the School Board for consideration, he should disclose his interests with Equitable and disqualify himself from participation, discussion, and voting thereon. Correspondence relating to this matter was noted and will be filed in the official records of the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Fisher said there is one other appointment to be made; that of an at-large member. No decision has been made at this time, but it is the intention of the Board to make that appointment by January 15, 1976. Motion was then offered by Mrs. David, seconded by Dr. Iachet~ta, to appoint the persons named, to serve at the pleasure of the Board. The motion carried: AYES: NAYS: Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, and Roudabush. None. Mr. Fisher said that last week he had received a letter from Nancy O'Brien, Chairman of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission, in which she stated she had recently received a letter from the State Water Control Board asking for local comments on proposed identification of 208 planning areas. The planning dome under this section will involve an identification of both point and on point discharges and is to develop both structural (sewage lines) and nonstructural (land use control) mechanisms to maintain or improve the water quality. In addition, the plan will develop and propose the mechanism for enforcement. The State Water Control Board staff is recommending to the Governor that certain areas of Virginia be identified as 208 planning areas. Not all areas will be identified, but there is no indication at this time as to who will or will not be identified. If the area is identified, the localities have the option to decide whether they wish to be designated and proceed with planning as local government directs. If a locality decides not to request designation, or is not identified, the State Water Control Board will do the planning. The Courts have, this fall, decided that 208 planning must be done in all areas. State wide, all planning district commissions are requesting that the State Water Control Board designate each planning district commission as a 208 planning area and that local officials within each planning district commission be given the permission to positively exercise the prerogative to either accept or reject designation of the planning district or other local constitutional bodies to be designated as a 208 planning agency for the 208 planning area. Mr. Fisher suggested that the Board adopt a resolution stating that they concur with the concept of allowing local option for reviewing the planning process before it is done by the State Water Control Board. Motion was then offered by Dr. Iachetta to adopt the following resolution: BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, that this Board does hereby express its support of a resolution passed by the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission requesting the State Water Control Board to give first refusal to localities to decide how to accomplish the "208" planning in their region. ~~~f/~~ The foregoing motion w§~j]seconded by Mr Henley Dr Iachetta said ~ we~lready~a=z~_ the planning process in ~-~ommunity and hg would, like ~o see us take advantage of it and retain the freedom to do our own water planning. Mr. Roudabush asked if the County would receive the same financing for this that the State would receive if done by them. Mr. Fisher said it is his understanding that if there are any federal funds available, they will also be available to the localities. However, there is no guarantee there will be any funds available. The motion then carried: AYES: NAYS: Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, and Roudabush. None. Mr. Fisher said a review of the Comprehensive Plan for Albemarle County must be made this calendar year. He said the Board should set a date for discussion of ways to accomplish this before they get into the budget review process. Motion was offered by Dr. Iachetta to set January 21, 1976, at 7:30 P.M. in the Albemarle County Courthouse for a discussion of procedures to be used in the modification of the Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan. The motion was seconded January 2, 1976 AYES: NAYS: Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, and Roudabush-. None. Mr. Fisher said the Board will be adjourning this meeting until 12:00 noon on January 9, 1976, in order to hear a presentation from Mr. Balzer on the proposed flood project at Scottsville.~ The Board will be meeting with representatives from the Town of Scottsville and will be making a tour of the area. This is being organized by the Town Council for the Board's information. The matter will then be included on the Board's agenda for January 15. Mr. Fisher said there are also other items which the Board must discuss on personnel and litigation. Mrs. David asked if the Chairman would appoint a committee to review the Board's rules of procedures. Mr. Fisher then appointed Mrs. David and himself to meet with the County Attorney and to make a report to the Board. Mr. Fisher said there are other appointments to be made which are not on the agenda. This Board has three representatives on the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission. He then appointed Mr. Roudabush and himself as two of the appointees and said a third appointee would be made at a future time. Mr. Roudabush said the Virginia Conflict of Interest Statute requires that any board member disclose a contract which he may have with another governing body. He then read into the record a letter dated December 31, 1975, to John Dezio. "December 31, 1975 'Sandy Branch' Route 1, Box 197 Bar. boursville, Virginia 2292~ HAND DELIVERED Mr. John Dezio Commonwealth Attorney Albemarle County, Virginia Dear Mr. Dezio: In accordance with the requirements of the Code of Virginia Section =_ 2.1 - 349, this letter constitutes disclosure of the existence of a contract with the City of Charlottesville for professional services as follows: In 1974, B.

This contract will probably be completed in early 1976. Very truly yours, (Signed) William S. Roudabush, Jr." Mr. Dorrier then 'gave for the record a letter addressed to the Town Council of Scottsville submitting his resignation as Town Attorney. He said there may be additional legal work required from him on the Balzer plan and if it is required he will abstain from voting on any matter which is coming before the Board from Scottsville. Dr. Iachetta said he is a co-principal investigator on a contract with the Energy Research and Development Administration. He said in terms of internal bookkeeping he is not the principal investigator so is not sure of his legal obligations, but will file a letter with the Commonwealth's Attorney. Mr. Fisher reminded the Board that during the month of January, the Board members must file a statement of interests in businesses and corporations in the community with the Commonwealth's Attorney? Mr. St. ~John~said any~statement may be filed with the Clerk/and the Commonwealth's Attorney, but in the matter of a contract the Board member is only required to file a statement with the Clerk of the Board and the Clerk of the other council. Dr. Iachetta asked what procedure is used in the case of Federal contracts. Mr. St. John said no statement is required. Mr. Fisher suggested that the Board take a recess. He said for the press~ when they reconvened he would request an executive session to discuss litigation and personnel. He did not expect any statement to be forthcoming. At 1:57, the Board recessed and reconvened at 2:10.
