We were accompanied by R. G. Warner, Resident Highway~En- gineer, and Nr. Coats, his assistant. (2) (3) After viev~ng these roads, we wish to make the following recommendations: Charlottesville District - Road beginning at Route 859 in Sherwood. Farms Subdivision and ending at a circle, a short distance beyond last house (Mt. View Drive); length 0.50 mile. We cannot recommend tb~is road since it is a part of a subdivision and is recorded as such. This road has to be brought up to standards by the developer or other parties before being acceptable. ~nite Hall District - Road beginning at the end of Route 1204 (Park Road) and ending at Elmer Shifflett Estate at Park l~oad Trailer Court; length 0.33 mile. We recommend that this road be taken into the Secondary System from the end of Route 1204 to the Park Road Trailer Court but not to include the drive which circles through the trailer court; approxi- mately 0.30 mile. Rivanna District -Road connecting Route 777 with Route 641; length ap- proximately 1.0 mile. Due to the terrain, slope and excessive cost of construction, estimated at $60,000.00, we cannot recommend this project. There are no families living on this section of road being proposed.

The County Executive advised that this is a matter between the homeovmer, the con- tractor and the insurance company and that the Board of Supervisors and High- way Department have no authority in the matter.

He stated that he is convinced of the intent of the Board to purchase the Shofi~er site but does not feel the deed should be put in the name of the State until the Con~aunity College Board definitely assures this site and he will support no further appropriations. Nfl Way pointed out that the rate was increased from $4.80 to $~.20 last year and this year is proposed for an increase to $~.60 and he in good conscience cannot support such increase. He stated that he felt certain items could be taken out - he questioned appropriation for four physical education and two music teachers to serve all the elementary schools and also questioned all schools having principals on ~a 12-month basis v~th full time secretaries. Nr. Way stated that an.i..undue burden is being placed on small landowners. Nr. Wheeler stated that he is in sympathy with ~r. Way on a number of points but the Board has to face up to facts and he thinks the $~.60 is needed, mainly in the field of education. ~r. Gibson stated that the major portion of the budget is for personnel but we have to compete in order to acquire and retain qualified .employees. Nr. Wood stated that the CA0 request for $~,000, made and the budget hear- ing, was supported by a nmmber of people and he feels that this is one of the most worthwhile programs of the organization. He stated that he disagrees with the Federal government instituting programs and then cutting funds, there- by leaving the burden on the localities. ~. Wheeler stated that he supported this appropriation and would suggest that the funds be designated for the t~o child development centers located in the Co~u~ty. However, he did not feel th_is should be tied into this budget but should be given more study by the CA0 Board for an appropriation at a later time. It was ordered that this matter be placed on the June docket. Nr. Yancey stated that the Federal mud State taxe,s have continued to in- crease and the County had increased its rate every year in addition to levying numerous other forms of tax. He fe~ls many people will be unable to pay ~heir real estate taxes at the proposed rate. ~. Garnett stated that many adjustments have been made during the study of the budget and he feels we have come up v~lth a budget he cau stand behind and support. On motion of Nr. Gibson, seconded by Nr. Wheeler, and carried by the follo~wlng recorded vote - AYES: Eessrs. Garnett, Gibson, Wheeler and Wood. NAYS: ~essrs. Way and Yancey. ......... the Board' proceeded to lay the County Levy for the year 1969 for General County Purposes of Five Dollars and Sixty Cents ($5.60) on every One Hundred Dollars worth of assessed value of real estate and personal property, and ordered that the Director of Finance of the County of Albemarle assess and collect on all taxable real estate and all taxable personal property, in- cluding machinery and tools not assessed as real estate, used or employed in a manufacturing business, not taxable by the State on Capital; including Public Service Corporation property (except the rolling stock of railroads) based upon the assessment fixed by the State Corporation Commission and certi- fied by it to the Board of Supervisors both as to location and valuation; and including all boats and watercraft under five tons as set forth in the Code of Virginia; and all vehicles used as mobile homes or offices as set forth in the Virginia Code; excluding merchants' capital, farm machinery, farm tools, farm livestock, and household goods as set forth in the Code of VirgJ_uia, Sections 58-829 and 58-829.!. EHRTHER, the Director of Finance shall make separate classifications of farm machinery, farm tools and farm livestock. l~r. Gibson advised that he had just returned from a meeting of N.A.C.0. and wished to offer two resolutions for adoption by this Board with copies to be sent to our representatives in ~ashington~ to the Boards of Supervisors iff each county in the State, and to the Virginia Association of Counties. The following resolution was offered by Mr. Gibson, seconded by ~f~. V~eeler, and unanimously adopted: WHEREAS, the ever increasing cost of taxation has become an onerous burden on the citizens; and WB~J~EAS, the regressive nature of local taxation places the incidence of those taxes upon those citizens least able to pay; and ~AS, the most apparent source of revenue yet untapped in Virginia is a local income tax; and WHEREAS, there exists a demonstrated effective system of income tax collection on the federal level; and ~tEREAS, the attempt by thousands of local governmental units to create systems of income tax could result in numerous inefficient and costly operations of questionable advantage in net effect to our local citizens; NOW, THERE~_RE, ~ IT I~ESOLVE.,D that the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors unanimously urge that you support federal legislation which would establish a policy of state arid local governments sharing directly in the revenue of the federal government by returning un- restricted to the states and localities a portion of the federal income tax revenue on a basis which will reflect both population demands and local tax effort; and ~E IT FL~RT~ RESOLVED that you support federal legislation which will permit the individual taxpayer to offset by direct credit against his federal income tax liability a portion of the amount paid by the taxpayer to the state government in the form of income taxation. The following resolution was offered by ,Mr. Gibson~ seconded by Mr. Wood, and unanimously adopted: ~t~EAS~ all citizens recognize the duty of The Congress to constantly review and evaluate its general tax policy; and WHEREAS, equity demands that each citizen should bear his fair share of tax burden; and ~E~EAS, no system of compulsory taxation can be completely fair, measured by every criteria, so that the optimum to be sought is that system most fair to most people and '~unconscionable to none; and W~P~EAS, tax-emption of state and municipal bonds is an induce- ment to the wealthy individual and investment corporation to purchase these bonds; and '~AS~ there is substantial consti~utional question as to whether ~he Congress can tax interest paid on these bonds; and WH~°G~AS~ taxability will force these bonds to find a new marke~, competing with federal and high grade corporate bonds; and V~r2REAS, the resulting increase in interest rates will have to be passed on to the local taxpayer whose regressive taxes must repay the bonds and the interest; and W~IEREAS~ any subsidy paid by the federal government to offset the local increased burden will have to be an arbitrary adjustment result~n~ in an artificial market, removing local incentive to frugality now present in local desire to preserve favorable ratings earned by past performance and granted by investment rating services; and WHEREAS, the very uncertainty arrou~sed by The Congress' delibera- tions on this matter forces present discount in the sale of bonds which will be an incre2sed burden on the taxpayer over the life of the bond issue; NOW~ THEREF01~E, BE IT RESOLVED that the Albemarle County ]~oard of Supervisors unanimously urge you to resist any attemp~ by The Cohgress to remove the tax exemption status ~om state and municipal bonds or to pass any legislation which will make these bonds less attractive as an investment by imposing new limitations on these investments by minimum tax provision or by allocations of deductions presently granted taxpayers in the computation of their federal income tax liability especially when those deductions have no direct relation- ship to the receipt of exempt income. Motion was offered by Mr. Way, seconded by Mr. Wood, that the title for land for the community college' not be given to the Commonwealth of Virginia until the Community College Board has made necessary ~uads available for con- struction of the college and no further appropriations be made by Albemarle County toward the preparation of the site for the college until we are assured that the Community College Board is prepared to go ahead with the construction. Substitute motion was offered by NLr. Gibson to table this matter for dis- cussion. This motion was seconded by Mr. Wheeler and carried. Communication was submitted by Mr. Heter 2~ay in which he tendered his resignation from the Board of Supervisors to be effective August 22~ 1969, and a:sked that the Board urge the Judge of the Circuit Court to name his replace- ment as soon as practicable in order that his replacement might attend as ~any meetings as possible before taking office. Mr. Way advised that he will be entering The Hrotestant Episcopal Theological Seminary in September. Mr. Garnett wished tEr. Way every success and on motion of Mr. Wheeler, seconded by Mr. Gibson, ~r. Way's resignation was accepted with regret and the Clerk was directed to forward a copy of this letter to Judge Waddell with the request that appointment be made as soon as possible.
