On motion of Mr. Palmer, seconded by Mr. Yancey, the recommendation of the County Executive was accepted. Mr. Ruel Wiebe! appeared and presented report on audit of the County's records for the year ended June 30, ~967, and submitt.ed the following recom- mendati on s: Stores InventorF: In previous years we have recommended procedures for obtaining adequate controls in connection with stores inventory. Although the board has determined that it is presently not feasible to effect these changes, we recommend that the board continue to give consideration to this matter. Accountin~ for Materials: In previous years we have also made recommendations concerning controls over the purchase and receipt of materials. We have observed considerable improvement in tb~s regard including the recent distribution to all de- partments of a manual which details procedures to be followed. Although we have not had a~ opportunity to test the effectiveness of the procedures outlined in the manual, we feel that if properly administered, the use of the manual by all departments will create more uniform purchasing policies and greatly improve the internal control of county affairs. Vehicle Licenses..'. Following our audit for the year ended June 30, 1966 we recommended that a special numerical series of auto license stickers be designated for use as transfers and duplicate issues and that the face of these stickers be prestamped with the word "duplicate". Although this recommendation was not adopted for the 1967 sales, it is our understanding that it will be effected for future sales. In addition, the county has recently made arrangements with ~[r. Thomas ~. Wingfield to have him handle the 1968 license sales on a commission basis at his office on East High Street. Besides relieving co~mty personnel of a burdensome task during the period when income and property tax returns are being processed, this method of handling auto license sales will introduce an additional measure of control over sales and we approve of this action by the county. Albemarle County Service Authorit~: Our examination revealed that the receivable of ~,22~ ~3, which was due from the Albemarle County Service Authority at Jtn~e 301 ~966, was still uncollected at June 30, 1967. We again emphasize that this amount should be collected and cleared from the county's records. ~arkin~Eines: We encountered some difficulty in reconciling the details of the uncollec- ted University parking fines maintained by the Sheriff's office with the control account kept by the Director of Finance. We have instructed the personnel in the Sheriff's office in the use of procedures which should correct this situation in the futur~; however, we recommend that greater collection of these fines which were in excess emphasis be placed on the of $~,000.00 at June 30, 1967. Mr. Floyd Johnson, Chairman of the ~lanning Commission, presented Land Use Flan and.accompanying ordinance, and advised that the Commission was unanimous 223 in recommending adoption of same. ~r. George Palmer read the following pre- pared statement: "~irst, ~r. Kirksey and I would like to remind this Board how much we and the citizens of Albemarle are indebted to the members of the Planning Commission for the tremendous Job that they have completed after two years of continuous work. The land use maps and the sup- porting zoning ordinance are, in our opinion, far superior to the ordinance offered to the citizens of Albemarle in 1963. ~or a rapidly urbanizing and suburbanizing agricultural area of 741 square miles, this ordinance is not only excellent in principal, but in substance as well. ~r. Kirksey and I would like to have seen this ordinance passed by this board in 1967. ~ge planned to call a special meeting of the Board to give due notices for the public hearing to be held at this meeting December 21, 1967. itowever, the chairman and the majority of the members of the Planning Commission advised us that although the citizens of the County favored zoning, many were concerned that if we called a special meeting to effect passage of the ordinance in December, it would appear hasty and rushed. On December ?, after meeting with ~r. Johnson and ~r. Garnett, I agreed that time was not of the essence. As you know, ~r. Lloyd %.~ood who will represent the Charlottesville district and ~ir. Joe Gibson who will serve Ivy District have indicated that they would support a proper zoning ordinance designed by your ~_annin~ Commission for Albemarle County. Both were willing to have this board hold the hearing and pass the ordinance. Yontr chairman, ~r. Garnett, has indicated that he felt the need of a zoning ordinance but he has not committed himself to voting for it in 1967. ~r. Thraves has had mixed emotions~ ~r. ~aulett opposed zoning; ~r. Yancey opposed voting for the ordinance in this board. '~hen ~r. Johnson and ~r. Garnett met with me~ YLr. Garnett stated that ~r. Yancey had assured him that he would support this ordinance when the new board was seated, and ~ir. Garnett told me that the new board could count on his affirma- tive vote. ~r. Johnson, ~Lr. Garnett and I all agreed that a zoning ordinance for Albemarle County was of utmost importance, and based on ~ri Garnett's ..as.sur _anoe I phone~ ~r. Kirksey and he and I decided not to call aspeciat meeting for a hearing on December 21. ~ge agreed to receive the ordinance at the regular December meeting and ~Sk this board to keep faith with the people of this community by voting for a hearing at the regular meeting in January or ~ebruary. With this background, ~r. Chairman, I move support of this ordinazuce in ~rinci~al and sub. stance and that we publish the due notices of a hearing for the January or ~ebruary meeting. 'When this ordinance l~hich we have received today has been properly reviewed by the Board and the public and any necessary revisions made, we look to you for the leadership for its passage. ~[r. Thraves said he wanted sufficient study so people would go along vrith the ordinance and seconded ~ir. Palmer's motion. In discussion preceeding vote on the motion, Zr. Paulett state~ that he was not in favor of the ordinance as presently proposed but was not opposed to zoning. He further stated that although the Planning Commission has done a wonderful job, he still thinks some work is needed, and would like to see a change in its administration. ~r. Garnett advised that zoning has come up before ten regular meetings of the Virgin.i.'.a Association of Counties ~d he feels it is past due in Albemarle County. Following discussion, the motion was adopted with Mr. ~aulett cashing the only dissenting vote. ~r. Floyd Johnson proposed that the following statement by Thomas 22Z; .............. Jefferson be appropriately displayed in;[~he Board Room: "For here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it..." On motion of Mr. Palmer, seconded by Mr. Thraves, and unanimously adopted, the suggestion of Mr. Johnson was approved. bond The County Executive advised that/bids were received on December 1~, 1967, on all county officials and employees ~or the four-year period beginning January 1, 1968, from the following companies for the total sums indicated: Cabell and Story Minor-Duke Autual Insur.ance Agency Hanckei-Citizens Insurance Corp. City Mortgage & Insurance Co. ~F,732.00 868.00 ?,917.00 On motion of Mr. Paulett, seconded by Mr. Yamcey, the low bid of Minor-Duke Mutual Insurance Agency was accepted. Several certificates of appreciation for services were a~m~rded to re- tiring County officials. To Mrs. Eva E. Maupin, retiring Clerk of the Circuit Court, Mr. Thraves presented certificate in appreciation for 47 years of faith- ~1 service. Mr. Yancey presented certificate to Mr. George C. Palmer, II, retiring Supervisor from Ivy District and noted that a like award would be given to Mr. Garrett W. Kirksey of Charlottesville District who is absent today. Mr. Garnett presented certificates to Mr. Robert Thraves and to Mr. F. E. Paulett, retiring Supervisors from Rivanna ~nd Scottsville Districts, respectively. Certificate was also given to Mrs. June T. Moon for 25 years service with the County, most of which she has served as Clerk tol-this Board. Mr. Dave Carr and Mrs. Mary ~. Cash also expressed appreciation as private citizens to retiring Board members and commended them for their guidance and leader ship. Mr. Robert Thraves presented the following suggestions and requested that they be made a part of the minutes of this meeting: "1. That a study be made of feasability of the joint ownership , management and control of the entire Albemarle County and City of Charlottesville. (Any additional annexation of County property by the City will make it impossible for the remainder of the County to function in providing services such as schools, water, sewage facilities, etc.] 2. That the group in'surance company employed by the Supervisors to protect their employees be required to extend this protec- tion service to all employees who have served Albemarle Co~mty for a period of 10 years or more at the same rate or an equitable rate to the employees as in such cases made and provided by other clients of the insurance companies. 3. All future supervisors elected to the Board of Supervisors be paid a minimum salary of ~3,000.00 per annum - and that all "Financial Directors and Purchasing Agents" be elected by the people of Albemarle County." Mr. D. B. Marshall, attorney, submitted resolution prepared in connec- tion with condemnation of Continental Can property needed for sanitary landfill 225 site. The resolution, which follows, was offered for adoption by Mr. Yancey and was seconded by Mr. Palmer with the understanding that the County continue full cooperation with the citizens group whic~h is endeavorin~ to locate another satisfactory site. This resolution was unanimously adopted: Wt~S, the County Executive, acting pursuant to authority heretofore granted by this Board, has made a bona fide offer on behalf of the County of Albemarle to purchase from the owner, Continental C~an Company, at the price of $100.00 per acre, a ~0- acre tract of land situated in the Samuel Miller Magisterial District of Albemarle County, Virginia, being a pa~rt of the lands designated as Parcel 28, on Section 73 of the Albemarle County Tax Map, to be used by the County as a public dumping place for waste materials which will be disposed of by sanitary landfill methods; and VfHEREAS, Continental Can Company has refused to accept said offer; NOW BE IT RESOLVED that it is necessary in the public interest that the County of Albemarle acquire said %0-acre tract of land for the purpo se afore said; and FURTI~R RESOLVED that, a bona fide offer to purchase said land having been made and refused, this Bsard shall proceed to acquire the same by exercise of its power of eminent domain, and agents of the County shall enter upon and take possession of said land as soon as practicable; and FURTHER RESOLVED that the County Executive and D. B. Marshall, special attorney engaged by this Board for this purpose, be, and they hereby are directed to notify Continental Can Company by registered mail on December 22, 1967, or as soon thereafter as possible, that the County imtends to enter upon and take possession of said lands; they are further directed to pay to the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Albe- marle County the sum of ~,000.00 which is hereby estimated to be the fair value of the land taken and damage done; they are further directed to proceed ~th appropriate condemnation procedures under the applicable~ laws of Virginia, and to take such other action as they ~eem advisable in or,er to acquire title to said land in the name of the County of Albemarle and to give to the County the right to enter upon and take possession of said land. The County Executive advised that he had inspected the bookmobile and found the condition of the body to be marginal. He stated that to stay with what we have would be a bs~t investment, although purchase of a new one would require 226 ........ an appropriation of approximately ~4,000.00 in the next fiscal year's budget. It was the expressed feeling that this Board should not act on an appropria- tion for the coming year. However, on motion of Mr. Palmer, seconded by Mr. E - Yancey, and unanimously adopted, the County xecutlve was authorized to proceed with obtaining bids in this regard. The Board's attention was called to the fact that check was issued to the Standard Drug Company for an incorrect amount and that the same had been recalled and new check issued. On motion of ~r. Thraves, seconded by Mr. ~aulett, it was ordered that check No. 6612 in the amount of ~3~.4~, made payable to the Standard Drug Company, be cancelled. Communication was received from the Auditor of Public Accounts advising that Hantzmon, Wiebel & Company had forwarded copies of report on audit of the accounts and records of the County of A!bemarle[.for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1967, and further, that a review of the report indicated that it ha~ been prepared in acoordance with specifications and had been accepted by that office. Communication was also received from the Auditor of Public Accounts vising that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1967, the amount of money collected by the Director of Finance exceeded the amount of his bond and that according to Section 1~.~-621 of the Code of Virginia, this Board is charged with the responsi.bility of increasing such bondl The letter further advised that the current bond is deficient in the amount of ~273,133.67.

The County Executive presented offer of Lawrence Wood to purchase from Mrs. Emmet C. Dickenson, a Welfare recipient, one acre of land located at Hil!sboro for the sum of $600.00. Notation from Mrs. Virginia S. Marks advised that the total acreage involved, ~.8 acres, was appraised at $1,800.00, and that if an acre is sold, the money would go towards reimbursement of aid which ~rs. Dickenson has received. Mr. Yancey advised that he was fa~liar with the land in question and that he felt it to be far more valuable than $600.00 an acre. After discussion, motion was offered by Mr. Palmer, seconded by Mr. Yancey, and unanimously adopted, that the offer of Mr. Wood be denied. An offer of Allan ~. Kindrick to purchase twelve acres of land located at the west end of the Earlysville water impoundment for the sum of ~22~.00 per acre was again brought before the Board for consideration. The Co~mnty Executive advised that adjoining property was assessed from $40.00 to .~2]0.00 per acre and '~hat Mr. Simms of the real estate department felt this to be a 227 ' good offer. The tract of land in question is not accessible by land and is adjoined by property ovaa'ed by Mr. Kindrick's father-in-law. The County Executive recommended acceptance of this offer. After discussion, motion was offered by ~r. Thraves, seconded by ~r. Yancey, that action on this re- quest to purchase be defe~rred until the regular January meeting.

Yancey. On motion of ~r. Palmer, seconded by ~r. Paulett, sale of this property back to ~¥ank ~ancey was approved and the Chairman was authorized to execute deed on behalf of the County.
