Present were: Messrs. Stuart F. Carwile, Gerald E~ Fisher, J. T. Henley, Jr., 'William C. Thacker, Jr., Gordon L. Wheeler and Lloyd F. Wood, Jr. Officers present: County Executive and County Attorney. The meeting opened with The Lord's Prayer led by Mr. Wheeler. Upon motion by Mr. Fisher, seconded by Mr. Thacker, the minutes of December 13, 1972, were approved. Motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Thacker, Wheeler and Wood. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Mr. Carwile. Mr. Wheeler advised the Board that he had requested a public hearing concerning improvements to Route 729 (Milton Airport Road). Mr. Humphrey stated that he had presented to~the Planning Commission a request for vat, ion of a portion of Wakefield Road. The Planning Commission recommended that the road not be closed at this time. They felt that it might be necessary to purchase this right-of-way at a later date. Mr. Wood stated that he agreed with the Planning Commission since in the past they tried to keep a connector between subdivisions for the good of the community. However~ he stated that two citizens had maintained a 50-foot~strip of road in which they had no ownership and there is opposition against opening this road to cre~e a thoroughfare. This is now a developed and established type of community and he urged that this road be closed. Mr. Wheeler recommended that this board view this property during lunch recess on February 1~ and invite the property owners to attend that meeting and have this item placed on the agenda for 1:30 P.M. Mr. Humphrey stated that in reference to a request for extension of Route 826, this was originally a one plat subdivision with two acre tracts. The Planning road Commission felt there was sufficient control to permit a restricted~/ho~ver, the ~ ..e-/f-7~ -,,~..,¢//- ~~.,F----~ '~-~ ..... developer wants to have these houses financed by~A-A-and this requires that the houses face on a state maintained road. Mr. R. W. Warner, Resident Highway Engineer, stated that a portion of this road had been taken into the state system but existing policy states that any extension of the road must serve at least three families per mile. Mr. Roger Eord said there must be a misunderstanding. He did not know this road would be considered in two sections. He also stated that there is dedicated right of way to the foot of the hill. Mr. Wheeler asked if the road viewers recommended this section if it dould be taken ~to the system now. 393 Mr. Warner replied that there was still money in the current year's budget to perform this worky if same were recommended. Mr. Wheeler recommended that this matter be carried over to the afternoon session to allow the County Attorney time to ~h~k/'the Code of Virginia on this matter. A request for Industrial Access Funds was again presented from Stromberg Carlson Corp. After discussion of this mattery Mr. Wheeler recommended appointment of a committee composed of Messrs. Thackery Wood, Warner, Humphrey and Kindrick give a detailed report at the February l~y 1973 meeting of this Board. Motion to approve this committee was offered by Mr. Henley, seconded by Mr. Fisher and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Carwiley Fishery Henleyy Thacker~ Wheeler and Wood. NAYS: None. Mr. Warner stated that he had received a letter from Mr. Fisher concerning the Miller School~. This had been investigated and~e had submitted a report on the situation. Mr. Carwile again asked about the intersection of Georgetown and Barracks Roads. Mr. Warner stated that the Highway ~epartment had studied the situation and had put up additional signs. He also stated that they would need to review the type of accident that occurs at this intersection and would then make further recommendations. At 10:00 A.M.~ the Chairman c~lled for a public hearing on an ordinance to amend and re-enact Section 12-93 of the Albemarle County Code so as to impose a license tax on occasional use trailers~ such as campers~ boat trailersy horse trailers~ utility trailers and other occasional use trailers and to amend the rate of the annual license tax upon all vehicles in Section 12-93. This public hearing was advertised in the Daily Progress on November 8y November lgy November 22 and November 29, 1972. Mr. Robert Merrill asked if the county received a license fee from every person who buys a state license. Mr. Batchelor stated that Albemarle County was the first county to use a data to pre-register automobiles strip from the Division of Motor Vehicles/and collections had risen since this practice began. Mr. Merrill stated that he had no objection~to the raising of this license, howevery he hoped the additi6nal money would be used to help reduce the property tax. M~s. Rosenblum asked if the state put a restriction on the amount of the license. Mr. Pickford stated that it could be equal to or less than the state license, but not more than the state license. Mr. Henry Tiffany stated that he represented the Western Albemarle Taxpayors and stated that the purpose of this group is to reduce taxes now. He questioned the need for additional services. Referring to revenue sharing moneyy he felt a great portion of this money would be used to construct a new county office building in order to let the courts have the present county office building. He contended that this expenditure was unnecessary. He stated that in the pasty the Board of Supervisors~ had been guided by a vocal minority who have time to come to Board meeting~ while the majority of the 394 citizens are out making a living. At this timer several members of the Board questioned Mr. ~iffany's remarks in relation to the question under discussion, After a short discussion~ it was decided that Mr. Tiffany could Continue~with his remarks. Mr. Tiffany stated that the Western Albemarle Taxpayors do not feel that the County Planner needs a staff of five or that there should be two people in the engineering department. He stated that the people at the taxpayers meeting composed over 50% of the vote in that district and they were angry concerning the "reckless spending habits" of the County. They did not object to the increase in this tax if the Board planned to reduce another tax. He requested a per capita study and justification on the planning and engineering departments and on the sheriff's department. Mr. Earl Davis~'a minister from Crozet~ stated that he worked with elderly people in the area and this extra $5.00 auto tax would hurt these elderly people. A Mr. Pollard~ from Free Union, stated that.since he bought proper~in Albemarle County his taxes had been raised twice and he had just received a notice raising them again. He asked how~ with this increase in the auto license tax~ the Board expected ~eople to live. Mr. Fisher stated that during the making of the 1972-73 budget, this increase in the auto license tax had been proposed in order to alleviate the necessity of raising the real property tax rate. The tax rate ~Would have been increased on the 1972 real estate and personal property tickets if this had not been decided at that time. Mr. Pollard questioned the word "improvements" on his tax notice. Mr. Wheeler stated that in the future this notice would carry the wording "Buildings~. Mr. Fisher offered motion to adopt the following amendment to the Albemarle County Code. Motion was seconded by Mr. Carwile. BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County that Section 12-93 of the Albemarle County Code entitled~ "Vehicle Lic~ses - License Taxes - Amounts" shall be and hereby is amended and re-enacted to read as follows: (a) On every passenger vehicle~ there shall be an annual license tax of fifteen dollars. (b) On every motorcycle there shall be an annual license tax of eight dollara~ and an additional license tax of three dollars for each side car for each motorcycle. (c) On every truck~ trailer, semitrailer or autowagon not designed and used for the transportation of passengers and not exempt from taxa- tion as otherwise provided in this article~ there shall be a license tax of fifteen dollars. (d) On every occasional use trailer, such as campers, utility~ boat and horse trailers with a load weight of 1~500 pounds or less and a width not greater than the width of the motor vehicle to which it is attached at any time of operation and to be attached to a passenger motor vehicle or truck with a gross weight of less than 5~000 pounds and used only for carrying property belonging to the owner of such trailer~ there shall be a license tax of five ~ollara. 1-18-73 395 (e) In the case of a combination of a tractor-tailer or semi- trailer~ each vehicle constitutinE a part of such combination shall be licensed as a separate vehicle and separate license indicia shall be issued therefor. (f) On every motor vehicle, trailer or semitrailer upon which well- drilling machinery is attached and which is permanently used solely for transporting such machinery~ there shall be an annual license tax of fifteen dollars. (g) On every motor vehicle~ trailer or semitrailer used or intended to be used for transporting persons to and from school~ Sunday school~ or other place of divine worship~ there shall be an annual license tax of fifteen dollars. This ordinance shall become effective on all licenses issued for the · license year 1973 and each year thereafter. Mr. Wood stated that he was opposed to this increase in the auto license tax. He felt that an automobile is a necessity for people working in the County, Since you pay a 2% tax when the car is purchased~ are taxed at the full fair market value at $5.90 a hundred and already are required to purchase a $10.O0 tag over and above the state tag~ that to increase the auto ~i~ense tax at this time is taxing an auto- mobile too heavily. Mr. Carwile stated that he would prefer to see the County go to another type of tax other than property tax. He felt that this increase in the auto license tax ~ts the burden on a larger number of people and imposes a proportional share of the tax burden on other then real property owners. Mr, Bob~ from White Halls asked if there had been a study on fees by users of off-read vehicles. Mr.,Clarence Dudley of Greenwood stated that he felt the Board was taking the tax from one pocket and putting in another and he hoped the Board had heard Mr. ~iffany's remarks. Vote was taken at this point and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Carwile~ Fisher~ Henley~ Thacker and Wheeler. NAYS: Mr. Wood, Mr. Wheeler told Mr. Tiffany that he could have several more minutes to continue his speech, Mr, Tiffany restated that the Western Albemarle Taxpayors represented some ~0% of the voters in that district. He reiterated that the Board must cu~'~the budget by 10-15% across the board from last year's expenses. Since approximately 91% of the budEet is allocated to the schools~ cuts must be made in that budget. Mr. ~ffany did not feel that education is necessarily proportional to the building it is taken in~ and that classes need not have as few as 20 pupils. He felt that the radar which is operated by the Sheriff's Department is a duplication of services run by the State Police and the County cannot afford this duplication. He stated that the people composing the Western Albemarle Taxpayors will withhold their real property taxes until their ~roperty is advertised for sale. Mr. Tiffany then spoke about a new county office building and asked how the revenue sharing money would be spent. He stated that it is the expressed intent of the "Taxpayors" to stop a new office building and also stated that they wish to help prepare the new (73-7~) budget, 396 1 Mr. Wood stated that he had not made any. commitment for the revenue sharing money and if any member of the Board had, it was out of context. Mr. Tiffany asserted that a decision to spend this money for a new county' office building comes on slow~ but like a steam roller,once it is made, there is no way to stop it. ~hat he hoped to do was step in this morning and stop the new office building. With that is~:~mind, this"taxpayors" group would like to go into the budget as it comes to the Board and discuss each and every item with the department heads. He stated that there will be a lot of volunteers and they hoped that throughout this, that the Board would feel that all were on the same side. He assured the Board that when they had lost the confidence of the electorate, there had been great harm done. Mr. Wood asked that this group go through the same channels -,used by the Board. He recommended that they attend the School Board budget hearing and assured Mr. Tiffany that this'Board would welcome their input. Mr. Wheeler said that each department submits a budget and over the next two or three months the Board will have public work sessions.and will welcome any input from the public. At 11:00 A.M. the Chairman called for a public hearing on an ordinance entitled "Real Estate Tax Exemption for Elderly Persons" as advertised in the Daily Progress on January 3 and January 10~ 1973. !~-~ of six persons Mr. Wheeler stated that the Board had appointed a committee/to study this matter and the majority report had recommended no ordinance be drawn at this time. The minority report recommended that such relief be offered. After consideration, the Board decided to present such an ordinance for a public hearing and he declared the floor open for comments. An unidentified man stated that the Board is asking all the older people to live in substandard housing when they quote a net worth of $20,000 and are also asking to rum'. off all children who live in the house~ otherwise~ no tax relief. He knew personally some people who paid $100 - $200 in taxes before the reassessment and now their taxes are from $500 - $700. He felt the money part of the ordinance was goody but the $203000 net worth was not good. Also~ he felt that the Board invites every eligible person to move in and get one acre of land to get tax relief. Mr. Fisher asked for a clarification by Mr. Pickford. Mr. Pickford stated that in order to see if you qualify for tax relief under this ordinance, you compute the net worth of everything owned~ exclusive of the house and one acre on which the house is located. For examole: if you have a ~:~100 acre farm worth $3~,000, exclude the house and one acre~ghis would leave and~nothing else, a net worth of $1 5,000../~u ~ have the land :Gmz~ ~'~ ~would qualify. The taxes attributable to the house and one acre are reduced. It does not mean that you must live on one acre. t-18-73 397 Mr. John English asked if this was the maximum that could be done under State law and asked if there were not a bill under consideration by the legislature that would change this law. Mr. RHy Jones stated that there was a prefiled bill in the General Assembly~ however~ he had not seen same. Mr. Tiffany stated that he felt the idea of an ordinance is good~ however~ this is really an-expanse of the County and someone has to pick up this expense. He felt that if a man is 6~ and his wife is 62~ he should not be precluded but that the tax should be prorated° Mr. ?ickford stated that if the husband and wife own property jointly~ and he is 6% and ~e is not~ he can qualify~ but she cannot. Anyone living in that household who/has an interest in the property would qualify if age 6%. Mr. Edgar ?aige co~ended the Board for considering the people never considered by the Board of Supervisors in his time and suggested that the Board follow their own conclusions and do what they think is right. Mr. Carwile stated that the Board has time to see what changes will be made by the legislature and then take s~eps to qualify for this taxable year. An unidentified lady commended the Board for initiating this ordinance. Mr. Wheeler felt that before taking action on this ordinance~ the Board should be brought up to date on matters in the General Assembly and also talk with our local representatives. Mr. Carwile offered motion to defer this matter until February 1%. Motion was seconded by Mr. Thacker and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Carwile~ Fisher~ Henley~ Thacker~ Wheeler and Wood. NAYS: Nome. Mr. William A. Perkins~ Jr. was present to speak to the Board concerning taxes. He stated that he felt it was proper at this point to indicate to the Board that there is overwhelming evidence that the piece-meal~ creeping assessment of Albemarle County is insidious and offensive to the citizens. He asked the Board to look at the way land is assessed or appraised and stated that he came to the Board because it is time to consider the 1973-?~ budget. He stated that taxation is coming to the point where it is more burdensome than the citizens feel they can pay. He asked.the Board to look for a way to cut expenses and since 80-905 of funds are u~.ed in the education field, a ~-10~ reduction would be meaningful there. He also asked that the use of funds provided by the Federal government through revenue sharing~ be givem careful consideration. Mr. Wheeler stated that the revenue sharing money has been deposited ~d is drawing interest. Before any decision is made~ the Board will hold public hearings. Mr. Shield Critzer~ fro~ Afton~ stated that he had worked for ~upont for thirty- seven years and he had dealt with many budget requests. He knows that any budget can be 398 trimmed and asked the Board to consider the difference between needs and wants. Mr. Wheeler asked that the citizens not leave this meeting feeling that past Boards have not wrestled with budget requests. In the five years that he has been -~ on the Board of Supervisors, he has attended hundreds of meetings and approximately 50% of those pertained to preparation of the budget. He stated that the Board does not take spending lightly. Mr. Henley stated that he was glad to see the interest of the people in local affairs. ~ Mr. Thacker said that b~ State code, the county ~is~required to appraise at fair market value and that the Board has no control over this. The control~ is on and- assessment/the tax rate and the~e are rates that the Board should investigate. Ha~.reminded all those in attendance at this meeting who are unhappy with their appraisal of real property that they have recourse to the Equalization Board. Mr. Fisher stated that he has had questions about the methods used to~e~r~i~e fair market value. He has heard that the citizens want the assessors to be County residents and'the previous Board tried to implement this. He felt that to reappraise the entire county at one ~ime is impossible, and that one of the main problems is that the land has never been appraised at 100% of the fair market value. The new State constitution requires that this practice end. He said that some changes need to be made in the property tax structure, however, this is the major tax source. !-~ Mr. Wheeler stated that two years ago the Board was concerned abo-~the appraisals ~being made at that time. The Board had hired Roundtree Appraisers to che~k and. the biggest difference they had found was 6%, therefore, it was decided that our with his assessment appraisers must be correct. He reiterated that if a citizan is not satisfied/that he should go to the equalization board. The Board adjourned for lunch and reconvened at 1:20 P.M. Mr. J. H. Bailey was present to state that John Pollock had prepared a report on the closing of the landfills at night or at times when there is not an attendent present. The current operating contract calls for a person present eight hours a day and since the Keene landfill is open continuously, a great deal of material comes in and is not covered immediately. This makes poor working conditions for new the contractor. This procedure will be against/regulations going into effect on July 1, 1973, and the State may not issue a permit under these circumstances, i l Mr. Bailey said that there is better control at Ivy. Two haulers were given permission to use the Ivy landfill during off hours, these being, Schneider's Disposal and the hauler for Morton's Frozen Foods. Mr. Carroll Sacre, hauler for Schneider's Disposal and Mr. Bob Lauffenburger, -~ plant manager at Morton's and Mr. Jim Slosson, Hauler for~Morton's were present. ~ After a discussion of the problems involved with the new regulations that go into effect in July, it was the concensus of the Board that Mr. Bailey should meet with a representative from the University of Virginia and those haulers present at this meeting and give a more detailed report at the February 15 meeting. 399 Mr. Fletchar Simms was present at the request of the Board to give a verbal report of this office proceedings. He stated that his office is charged with appraising all real property at fair market value and since 1968 his office has studied sales in every area in order to determine what the property in any area sells for. This is the method used for establishing land values. Building values are established from reproduction costs less depreciation. Sometimes it is necessary to allow some additional depreciation. Since 1968 the assessor's office has appraised some 12~216 parcels of land, which leaves approximately 3~000 parcels to be completed. During this reappraisaly a schematic drawing of each piece of property has been made and all buildings have been Daped and drawn. This is to be a permanent record which will be kept up to date. In the future this office expects to review the entire county wihhin a three year period. Mr. Fisher questioned the method of establishing fair market value. Mr. Simms explained that they do not try to determine value by any one site. They use all sales comparable in the area in which they are working and they use/sales in other areas. Mr. Carwile asked if the formula used had been set by this officer to which Mr. Simms replied that this is a nationally recognized formula. Mr. Henley asked if the taxpayer must come into the office to fill out a form for the Equalization Board. Mr. Simms said noy he would mail them upon request. Mr. Batchelor stated that they do encourage the citizens to come'bo the office and talk to Mr. Simms as occasionally they do find that mistakes have been made. Mr. Simms was'requested to keep a list, from now until June 307 of properties which sell for less than the assessed value. Mr. Fisher asked if zoning is recorded on the appraisal form or if his office had any records relating these two values. Mr. Simms stated that they are including this on their worksheet~ but this does not show on the land book. In answer to another question from Mr. Fisher~ Mr. Simms stated that only the land book is public information. All other records are confidential between the assessing officer the taxpayer and certain other government agencies.
