Agenda Item No. 7a. Other Transportation Matters. Mr. Tucker made a report on a proposed pedestrian crossing at Albemarle High School. Staff has met and came up with the following suggestions: Look at pedestrian phasing at that intersection and see if it is feasible; and Move buses through the intersections and let them all leave at once to solve the problem of pedestrians crossing the street. Staff is to work with VDoT's staff to try and phase in a procedure to block all lanes except Lambs Road so all buses can leave at the same time. Mr. Roosevelt said VDoT's traffic engineer agrees that crosswalks at the intersection would aid in directing students and pedestrians to the safest location to cross Hydraulic Road. The traffic engineer has agreed to paint crosswalks across two sides of the intersection connecting three corners that presently have curb and gutter. The crosswalks are to be painted from the High School to the office park complex and from the office park complex to the Mexican restaurant. VDoT discussed with school administration controlling the traffic signal manually during departure times of the school buses which presented a problem because if the phases are changed manually there would be a liability if accidents occurred. VDoT is also reviewing changing the phase links during the hour when school lets out to try and assist the buses when departing on Lambs Road. Those discussions are still on-going and a decision has not been made. Mr. Roosevelt said he will continue to monitor this issue and bring more definite details to the Board at its January 5, 1994 meeting. Mr. Roosevelt reminded the Board that there is a public hearing on the Route 682 project Tuesday night at Meriwether Lewis School. Mr. Martin said residents of Route 795 (Presidents Road) requested that he ask VDoT to install additional signs posting the speed limit to help reduce speeding. Mr. Roosevelt will review this request. Mr. Tucker said he will ask the Police Department to do some selective enforcement there to help with the problem. Mr. Bain asked V DoT to consider installing guard rails on Route 250, east of Mirador Intersection, where there is a 25 to 30 foot drop off. Mrs. Humphris asked that the Police Department launch a campaign about the rights of pedestrians in crosswalks. Mrs. Humphris asked Mr. Roosevelt if he had been contacted about the need for a stop light at the intersection of Massey Road and Alderman Road. Mr. Roosevelt said "yes," and he has directed a traffic signal study be done at the location. This road is located on the University of Virginia grounds and VDoT doe's not have the same authority on roads located within a state institution. VDoT is hired to repair and study these roads. Police authority on those roads are the responsibility of the University Police. He will contact them regarding the need for a signal at that location. Mrs. Humphris said the new signal at the Georgetown Road.and Barracks Road intersection has no left turn signal for east bound traffic from Barracks Road turning left onto Georgetown Road. Mr. Roosevelt said he talked with the traffic engineer about that and expressed concern that a protected left turn was needed. The project is in the one month traffic signal guarantee time and is still the responsibility of the contractor. December 1, 1993 (Regular Day Meeting) Page 3 000263 Mrs. Humphris said when she drove into Charlottesville this morning she noticed loose rock in the road at the rocky median near the Route 250 bypass bridge. Mr. Roosevelt said he will check on this. Mrs. Humphris said she received information through the Citizen Bypass Committee that the design for the western bypass had been held up for nine to 12 months and, VDoT must do an environmental impact statement on both the northern and southern terminus which would be done in-house instead of by consultants. She asked that when schedules are changed for the local highway plans that affect Albemarle County this Board be notified. The Board then requested staff to contact VDoT to try and establish a procedure to inform the County of any schedule changes relating to highway plans in the County. Agenda Item No. 8. Presentation: Architectural Review Board Design Guidelines. Ms. Marcia Joseph, Design Planner in the Zoning Department, distributed an outline of the slides and gave a brief slide presentation outlining what the Architectural Review Board (ARB) has been doing in the County. She also introduced Mr. C. Timothy Lindstrom, Chairman of the ARB, and Ms. Diane Miller and said they were present to answer any questions Board members may have. Ms. Joseph said the ARB has been using interim guidelines since April, 1991, and they seem to be working well. The guidelines are general in nature and allow architects flexibility in the design. The guidelines were distrib- uted to the community in June and comments were received in October. The ARB then composed a list of comments from all of the various agencies and respond- ed to these comments. Applicants perception of the guidelines were also discussed. The ARB concluded that it needed to talk to applicants before they got into the guidelines in any great depth. Mr. Lindstrom also composed a letter that would be attached to all ARB guidelines. An important element in that letter states: "It is the intent of the members of the Architectural Review Board to allow a broad latitude in developing a project and to make the architectural review process as simple and efficient as possible, consistent with the interests of the citizens of Albemarle County and the many persons from around the world who are visitors here." Ms. Joseph said there are two levels of review that the ARB currently undertake: (1) preliminary conference; and (2) certificate of appropriate- ness. At the preliminary conference, the applicant is encouraged to come in as soon as a project is in the discussion stages with an idea of what to do and what the building may look like. There is no fee for a preliminary conference. The fee for the certificate of appropriateness is $160. The certificate requires more information, i.e., materials, elevations of building and site plan. The ARB has tried to be as accommodating as it can to the applicant in processing applications. Mr. Bowerman said he feels the ARB has been receptive to comments the public has made. Mr. Martin made motion, seconded by Mr. Bain, to set a public hearing on January 12, 1994, to consider adoption of the ARB guidelines. Mrs. Humphris said last week, for the first time she noticed the lighting on Fontaine Avenue at the University of Virginia Research Park and was shocked. The guidelines state that lights should be shielded, recessed or flush bound to eliminate glare and achieve an incandescent effect and obvious- ly that was not done here. She asked how this happened and is there anything that can be done to fix the lighting. Ms. Joseph said the University of Virginia Research Park was a complex project which was reviewed as a rezoning request. She is not sure the lighting for the project was ever addressed. Mr. Bowerman asked if the front lighting met the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for a site plan. Ms. Joseph said "yes." Mr. Bowerman asked if there is a conflict between the ARB guidelines and the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Lindstrom said as part of the rezoning, the applicant also put together a package of architectural design guidelines. The proposal was confusing when it came to the ARB because the perception was that this Board had approved, not only the rezoning, but as part of the package, it approved the guidelines that took precedent, as any rezoning would, over the ARB guidelines. The ARB stays clear of rezonings. If this Board accepts proffers for design as guidelines or site plans, that supersedes the ARB's authority. As a result of this request, all future requests for rezoning that are in an entrance corridor is forwarded to the ARB for review before coming to this Board. Mr. Lindstrom cautioned that the ARB comments should not be construed as support for or against a proposal. Mr. Martin said he thinks the ARB comments played a tremendous role in the Planning Commission's and this Board's position on the Fastrax Entertain- December 1, 1993 (Regular Day Meeting) Page 4 000264 merit, Inc. request. Mr. Lindstrom said he feels strongly the ARB should only comment on a special permit as it relates to the entrance corridor. There being no further discussion, roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Perkins, Bain, Bowerman, Mrs. Humphris and Mr. Martin. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Mr. Marshall. Board members then requested that staff provide a report on the role and processes of the ARB with the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors at its February 2, 1994, meeting. Not Docketed. Mr. Tucker introduced Ms. Lynne Carruth, the newly employed Housing Coordinator. Agenda Item No. 9. Section 8 Housing Advisory Committee Report. Mr. Vito Cetta, Chairman of the Section 8 Housing Advisory Committee, said in December the Board formed a Section 8 Housing Advisory Committee. The members of the Committee are: Vito Cetta and Gibson Powell (landlords), Kobby Hoffman (TJPDC), Linda Bachman (VDHA, Richmond), Wayne Cilimberg (Director of Planning), and Kathy Ralston and Bonnie Davies (Social Services). The Committee has met approximately nine times. During this time, the Committee interviewed area landlords who participated in a housing survey sponsored by the Charlottesville Housing Foundation and the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission, as well as Section 8 participants, about their views of the program and suggestions for improvements. The Committee reviewed required paperwork from Housing and Urban Development (HI/D) and Virginia Housing and Development Authority (V~DA), as well as the proposed revisions to the Section 8 program published in the Federal Register. The Committee also reviewed current Section 8 program rules and regulations. The Committee has divided the recommendations into five categories for ease of presentation: 1) marketing, 2) case management, 3) program, 4) evaluation and 5) availability. Mr. Cetta then discussed the report and the recommendations. Mr. Cetta also discussed certificate holders and the voucher system. A voucher is a form of Section 8 housing which allows a person to go out and get a unit that may be priced higher than the housing schedule and that tenant is responsible for paying the difference. The program also teaches individuals techniques in finding jobs and working their way out of the system. This program has been outlined at a cost of approximately $140,000. Mr. Martin said he prefers the voucher system to the certificate system because he is a strong proponent of people helping themselves. Mr. Martin asked what is "inclusionary zoning." Mr. Cetta said inclu- sionary zoning is a project approved for a specific number of units where a certain percentage of those units are affordable housing, but that is not legal in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Board requested that staff bring back an implementation plan at its February 2, 1994. Agenda Item NO. 13. 12:30 P.M. - Lunch in Cooperative Extension Services. Legislators Present: Mr. Peter Way, Mr. Ed Robb, Ms. Jo Blue (Assistant to Mitch Van Yahres). Extension Services Staff Present: Ms. Lovedy Papproth, Messrs. Macio Hill, Jr., David Vaden, Charles Goodman, Mark Reynolds and Steven Meeks. Mr. Charles Goodman, welcomed everyone and thanked them for coming to the luncheon. Extension Services staff then reviewed its list of on-going programs and projects (copy on file). Mr. Goodman also announced that Albemarle County was awarded the outstanding unit for 1993 by Virginia Cooperative Extension Services. Following some general discussion, Mr. Goodman thanked everyone for attending the luncheon. (The Board recessed at 2:00 p.m.) The Board reconvened in Meeting Room 5/6 at 2:05 p.m. December 1, 1993 (Regular Day Meeting) Page 5 000265 Agenda Item No. 14. Work Session: 1994 Legislative Packet with State Legislators. Present: Mr. Peter Way, Mr. Ed Robb and Ms. Joe Blue (representing Mr. Mitch Van Yahres), Mr. Mitch Van Yahres (arrived at 2:50 p.m.). Mr. Bowerman thanked the legislators for coming to discuss Albemarle County's legislative packet. He feels this Board is responsive to the needs of Albemarle County citizens. The legislative packet basically includes the same requests from past packets. Mr. Way asked Mr. Robb if he had received the state mandates from the education department. Mr. Robb said the mandates have been identified but the funding and costs are 1991 figures and are not up-to-date. He has been trying to address how much the mandates are costing Albemarle. He will do everything he can to address the question of state mandates. Mr. Bain said under finances there is a proposal to raise fees from $2 to $6 to provide equipment for the new family courts scheduled for opening in 1995. Mr. Way said he thinks the state should either provide funding or give the locality the mechanism to fund any mandates. Mr. Bain asked the legislators their opinion of the family court. Mr. Robb said he supported creating the family court. He listened to a great deal of discussion and debate relative to that issue. He thinks family courts will provide better service to the community and may not cost much more since they will provide relief to the other courts. There will be some consolidation of services. Mr. Bain said he knows there is a lot of concern from the legal community that the current system and personnel may be doubled instead of consolidating what currently exists. Mr. Robb said he met with every judge in the 25th District and they all approve of the concept of family court. The only criticism he received was from the Court Clerk's Association who thinks this would increase the cost and operation of the Clerk's office. Mr. Robb said raising the fees for certain costs, i.e. divorces, may be a way to fund the family court. Mr. Bowerman said there is a proposal under finances to provide locali- ties the flexibility to collect real estate taxes and the ability to recognize at the local level, different financial situations of people who own real property. He asked if the legislators see any reform which would allow localities flexibility in assessing property tax. There were a lot of complaints during the last budget session from citizens who simply do not have the income to pay the taxes. Mr. Way said he could agree with the principle of that. Mr. Bowerman said this Board would be agreeable to a local option income tax that is formulated to address rising needs in the area and reflective of revenues raised by the tax to off-set personal property tax rates. Mr. Robb said several months ago the issue of homestead exemption was raised. He thinks that has some merit. He is agreeable to looking at a means to reduce the tax burden for those people who are seriously affected by property taxes and not in the category of disabled or elderly. Mr. Bowerman said he would like to have more equality and equity in the tax system than is currently available. Mrs. Humphris said Albemarle County is faced with a lot of growth and it is costing more money. The major source for that money is the property tax and that is not a fair way to bring in revenue. There has to be a more fair way to fund the costs that would not hurt the people who cannot afford it. Albemarle is not the only county requesting other funding mechanisms. Counties are growing and becoming more urbanized and continuing to have the same needs to provide services as cities. Mr. Robb said he thinks it is important to recognize that there are some citizens who are not paying their fair share. He thinks the County should try to look at ways to collect the money that is already owed from uncollected taxes. Mr. Bain said he does not disagree that there are people who are not paying their fair share, but most of the uncollected taxes are from income taxes. Mr. Bain said there is not current legislation which would allow the County to collect income taxes. Mr. Robb said this is what needs to be dealt with. Mr. Bain said if the County had the authority, he would be willing to include the question of a local option income tax on the ballot. Mr. Martin said he would like to see funding for the DARE program from the Sheriff's offices and continuing support for the Opportunity Knocks program. Mr. Way said that is fine as long as the efforts are coordinated and not duplicated. Mr. Martin said both DARE and Opportunity Knocks are programs that he is familiar with, and they accomplish goals and objectives. December 1, 1993 (Regular Day Meeting) Page 6 000266 Mrs. Humphris referred to administrative funding for the Comprehensive Services Act under health and human services. Long-term care is in the process of being mandated and she does not think there is any plan to pilot this before it is made a state-wide mandate. She thinks it would make sense to pilot this program before mandating it state-wide. Mr. Robb said the Comprehensive Services Act was debated extensively in the 1992 General Assembly session with the funding formula to be presented in 1993. The concept was similar to the concept of the family court and was acceptable to the legislature. He agreed with the concept and still agrees with it. This is an effort to stream line services. The funding formula that was adopted to put this into effect came with the guarantee that at no time would it cost localities any more than what each locality presently pays. Mrs. Humphris said she is a member of VACo's Health and Human Services Steering Committee and people who reported from various localities said that the act had become a burden to their localities and the same applies to Albemarle County. The Steering Committee has suggested that a meeting of all social service representatives be held to share experiences of what this has done, the outcome, the benefits and the problems. The Committee feels that if this is not done and experiences are not shared, the legislators will never know the negative and positive points. This needs to be known before long- term care is mandated. Long-term care will cost an enormous amount of money. Mr. Robb said the last comments he heard from local governments were that this program was moving along extremely well and all localities were delighted. He thinks Mrs. Humphris' points are important and well taken. Mr. Robb said he just attended a two day meeting of the Rehab and Social Services Committee. He was assured that all of his previous concerns had been considered. He will ask, after the General Assembly session begins, that representative from localities be invited to come before the Committee to share their experiences. Mr. Martin said this is a complex issue. He was 100 percent in support of this Act at the beginning, but now he would encourage the legislators not to support anything further and vote against the proposal. He is not sure the strategies are achieving the goals and concepts. Mr. Bain said the issue of supplementing salaries of constitutional officers has come before the Board on an annual basis. He wants to encourage legislators to support the "true" funding of those positions. If the Common- wealth's Attorney needs funds, those funds should not be supplemented by the locality. Mr. Bowerman then introduced Ms. Bonnie Fronfelter the legislative liaison from the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission. She replaced Ms. Andrea Trank. Mr. Way asked that someone explain the legislative request regarding withdrawal procedures from agricultural/forestal districts. Mr. Tucker said there are some localities that already have this authority. Albemarle County is requesting that it be granted this authority as well. Currently, individ- uals can withdraw land from an agricultural/forestal district during the period of the district. The Board sees this legislation as an opportunity to review the basis for the withdrawal and the impact the withdrawal would have on the existing agricultural/forestal district. This is a means to insure that landowners are not adding parcels and then withdrawing them on a continu- al basis. Mr. Way said he did not know that landowners could withdraw land from an agricultural/forestal district during the ten year period. Mr. Tucker said there is certain criteria that must be met. Mr. Robb asked if this proposal would remove the criteria. Mr. Tucker said "no," this proposal would allow the Board to review the request. If this request were granted, it does not mean that the Board would not authorize the withdrawal, but under current legislation, the Board does not have the opportunity to review the request for withdrawal. Mr. Robb asked what would happen if the Board did not want to authorize the withdrawal. Mr. Tucker said the proposed legislation would give it the authority to deny the request. Mr. Bowerman said this would give the Board to authority to keep agricultural/forestal districts from being abused. Mr. Robb asked why this was not done when the agricultural/forestal districts were created. Mr. Tucker said it was an oversight. Mrs. Humphris said two other legislative proposals for Albemarle County are state funding for the DARE program in Sheriff offices and allowing locali- ties to receive recognition for local drug efforts by retaining any unclaimed assets obtained by law enforcement personnel in the performance of their duties. Mr. Way, Mr. Van Yahres and Mr. Robb said they would support those requests. Mr. Van Yahres asked if this is state-wide legislation for the DARE program. Mr. Tucker said the legislation is particularly for those Sheriff offices that have court and paper service responsibilities only, and do not have law enforcement responsibilities. Sheriffs that have law enforcement 000267 December 1, 1993 (Regular Day Meeting) Page 7 responsibilities use funding through law enforcement proceeds to provide for the DARE program. Mr. Robb said he will have the legislation prepared and presented to the General Assembly regarding localities receiving recognition for local drug efforts by being allowed to retain any unclaimed assets obtained by law enforcement personnel in the performance of their duties. Mr. Van Yahres said he will have the legislation prepared for the agricultural/foresta'l districts withdrawal procedures. Mr. Way said he will have the legislation prepared for state funding of the DARE program within Sheriff offices. Mr. Robb said a legislative proposal that concerns him, which has not been addressed, is opposition to any state legislation that preempts local zoning ordinances. He thinks there are efforts to develop a state-wide board of zoning. He is not in support of such legislation. Mr. Robb said Board members may have heard about the sub-committee that is reviewing bingo and raffle laws. He has received calls from people who are concerned because of a rumor that the state intends to eliminate fire depart- ments' and charities' abilities to raise money through bingo and raffles. He can assure the Board that is not the intent. The committee is trying to deal with regulating professional bingo operators that take advantage of charities. Mr. Bowerman thanked the legislators for meeting with this Board. (The Board recessed at 3:05 p.m. and reconvened in Room 7 at 3:16 p.m.) Agenda Item No. 11. Adopt Resolution Authorizing the Issuance of $24,710,000 General Obligation School Bond, Refunding Series 1994 A of the County of Albemarle, Virginia, to be Issued in Exchange for an Aggregate Like Principal Amount of 'Certain Outstanding Bonds of the County of Albemarle, Virginia, held, and a Lump Sum Cash Payment to be Made, by the Virginia Public School Authority, and Setting Forth the Form and Details of Such Refunding Bond. Mr. Tucker gave the following summary: "BACKGROUND: The County of Albemarle issued schOol bonds through the Virginia Public School Authority (VPSA) in 1989 and 1991. The total of these two bond issues was $29,745,000. DISCUSSION: Based on current interest rates, VPSA has elected to refund (refinance) a number of its outstanding bond issues. In doing so, VPSA will realize a substantial savings in interest which will be shared with the localities. It is currently pro- jected that Albemarle County will receive a refund of $379,165 to be received in January, 1994. In order to participate in this refunding the County must adopt a resolution authorizing the issuance of the refunding bond in exchange for the canceled bonds of the County and the lump sum cash payment. The refund amount is restricted to be used for capital projects and VPSA is requesting that it be used for 'School' capital projects. Also, in order to avoid any penalty or rebate liability this amount will need to be expended within six months of receipt. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board adopt the at- tached resolution (on file) to issue a VPSA replacement bond for the 1989 and 1'991 canceled bonds. As the Board discussed at the November meeting, the refund savings of $379,165 may be used to fund a portion of the start-up capital costs associated with the new middle school." Mr. Martin made motion, seconded by Mrs. Humphris, to adopt the follow- ing resolution to authorize the issuance of $24,710,000 General Obligation School Bond, Refunding Series 1994 A of the County of Albemarle, Virginia, to be issued in exchange for an aggregate like principal amount of certain outstanding bonds of the County of Albemarle, Virginia, held, and a lump sum cash payment to be made, by the Virginia Public School Authority, and setting forth the form and details of such refunding bond. Roll was called and motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Perkins, Bain, Bowerman, Mrs. Humphris and Mr. Martin. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Mr. Marshall.

Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect immediately. (Ail Exhibits are on file in the Clerks office.) Agenda Item No. 10. Discussion: Corville Farm Subdivision, central well system, request for funding (deferred from November 17, 1993). Mr. Tucker explained the request from Mr. Joseph Casero for $5,000 from Albemarle County to assist in making a third well operational. He summarized the staff report, which is on file in the Clerk's Office, and described the options available. Mr. Tucker said should the Board choose to honor Mr. Casero's request, staff suggests that Mr. Casero enter into an agreement with Albemarle County that if the funds are appropriated, he will not increase the monthly fee for a period of two years except to cover increased operational expense and that if the system is sold within the same period of time, the funds would be repaid. Mrs. Humphris said she reviewed the information carefully and came up with some serious questions about what could happen. She thinks Mr. Casero went into a speculative venture, with the intent of purchasing this subdivi- sion to make a profit. That was fine as long as there was not much expendi- ture required to make the profit. The problems are not clear to her. She does not know exactly what the problem is with the third well. She asked if the third well was upgraded in 1988 with the other wells. Ms. Jo Higgins, County Engineer, said Mr. Casero did not develop the subdivision nor does he own it. He purchased the well system, that is located on his farm and serves the subdivision, because it also serves him and a farmhouse outside of the subdivision. He was looking to protect his own water source. The idea that he bought this for profit is probably valid but history will show that the rates have not been raised, and he has operated and invested more money into this system than whatever profit has been made. He is not trying to make a profit. The problems are quantity of water and the third well. The third well is not in operation. In the last couple of years, Mr. Casero has spent approximately $14,000 to replace the other two pumps and added controls so the pumps would not burn out. The system was upgraded to protect those two pumps. He has been working with the residents in the subdivision to get them to voluntarily conserve water. There. are no separate meters on the houses. Mr. Casero looked into the cost of installing separate meters which was shown to be quite expensive because the system was not installed the way it was originally designed. She then explained the regulatory requirements. December 1, 1993 (Regular Day Meeting) Page 10 000270 Mrs. Humphris asked if the third well was upgraded in 1988 or after 1988. Ms. Higgins said she believes that the third well was taken out of service in 1988. Mrs. Humphris said it is important to know why the well is not in use. Mrs. Humphris asked why the third well deteriorated. Mr. Bain said Mr. Casero stated in his letter of November 9, 1993, that a third well exists which was drilled back in the 1970's to a depth of 600 feet. However, prior to his purchase of the system, the well was allowed to deteriorate to the point where only the well was present. The well was never used for any water, the well was just there. Ms. Higgins said the pump quit working and it was never put back in service. Mrs. Humphris said Mr. Casero's letter also states that the flows from the first and second well have been decreasing. She asked what efforts has Mr. Casero made to increase the flows on those wells. She contends that for whatever reason Mr. Casero bought the well system, it was speculative. She feels he purchased this for his own benefit. There is no evidence that suggests Mr. Casero has tried other options. The total cost of the third well is $10,000 and yet some of that cost is to provide for separating the two systems. She has not seen any evidence that Mr. Casero cannot afford to do this. This is his obligation. She understands that these are small lots and these houses provide affordable housing to some low income people. She does not think a case has been made for the taxpayers or water users to obligate themselves to do this and she feels it would be a dreadful precedent to set. There are 64 other central well systems in the County. Mr. Bowerman asked the difference between this request and the request for West Leigh. Mr. J.W. Brent, Executive Director of Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) said he was not working for Albemarle County at that time, but it is his understanding that the County loaned ACSA money to purchase water companies and create a utility. ACSA purchased the Woodbrook, Colthurst and West Leigh water services. Mrs. Humphris said the whole group was purchased and West Leigh was the only water service that was failing, but ACSA purchased those properties to create a business. Mr. Bowerman asked what obligation does the stock company have to continue to supply water to the 25 homes. Mr. James R. Bowling, Assistant County Attorney, said the rates are regulated by the State Corporation Commission (SCC) and the owners can ask the SCC to oversee whatever rates are charged, but the stock company can go bankrupt and, at that point, the residents would have to provide for themselves. Mr. Casero's obligation as a stock holder is difficult to answer. Mr. Bowerman said he is having a difficult time separating what other options are available. Mrs. Humphris said some other options are insuring that the owner has found out everything he needs to know about the ability of the wells to produce. The storage of the water may be the problem instead of production of water. She does not feel Mr. Casero has provided this Board with enough information. She does not see how the Board could make a decision based on the information available. Mr. Bain said Mr. Brent mentioned water works operation fee and non- viable systems through grants in his letter dated November 23, 1993 (on file) and asked if this is possible or since this is a public stock company whether that is an option. Mr. Brent said he does not know of any form of assistance that is available. Mr. Bain said he would not support including this property in the ACSA service area boundaries unless it adjoined an urban or growth area. Mr. Bain asked how the Board would handle other requests if this request were granted. Mr. Tucker said he does not know how the Board would handle other requests, but the Board may be faced with larger costs if Mr. Casero decides to abandon the system. Mr. Bain said Mr. Casero has the right to bail out and do nothing legally. Mrs. Humphris said there are other alternatives to stop people who abuse the water use. Mr. Martin said Mr. Casero is trying to help these low-income peoplet who could not survive on their own. He could drill a well on his property and forget about the landowners. Mr. Bain said that was his impres- sion and would be simple for him to do. Mr. Bain said he does not disagree with Mrs. Humphris, but those alternatives will cost money. He does not like the precedent this could set. He sees this request as something that can be separated from other requests. Mrs. Humphris said she has not heard any ideas as to how this request can be separated or distinguished from similar requests. Mr. Bowerman said this can be separated because it is a separate stock company and because of the efforts Mr. Casero has made over the course of the last four or five years to keep the system operating without passing additional costs on to the people who live there. He has made a good faith effort to maintain the system and recognize his obligation. He understands what Mrs. Humphris is saying regarding Mr. Casero's purchase of the subdivision, but 25 other people December 1, 1993 (Regular Day Meeting) Page 11 00027 benefit from this central well system. Mr. Bowerman feels that ultimately the County could become responsible for this system. Mr. Perkins said one problem is that the lots are not large enough for individual wells. Everything Mrs. Humphris has stated is true, and maybe there are other techniques that need to be looked at regarding the other two wells that are in operation. Ms. Higgins said Mr. Casero is an engineer and he has impressed her. He has looked at every alternative and came up with the cheapest way to accom- plish the task. Mr. Casero has gone to the Health Department for help numerous times. The residents from the subdivision have gone to the SCC and the financial documents have been reviewed and the SCC has recommended that the fees be increased. The option for Mr. Casero to charge the people more has always been there. Several people go months without paying their bill because they cannot afford to. She does not understand why Mr. Casero bothers with doing this. Mr. Casero does not want to leave the people in a bind. He does have the option to spend the money and figure out what he can do, then assess it to the people living in the subdivision. Mrs. Humphris said she understands that this is a decent, honest man, who wants to do his best to help people of few means, however, this Board is supposed to represent all of the taxpayers in Albemarle County and she would not feel she had done her best to do that unless she knew that Mr. Casero had made every effort. She is not satisfied that this Board has found out everything that it needs to know. Mr. Martin suggested that this item be deferred to December 8, 1993, and asked if staff could contact Mr. Casero to see if he can attend that meeting to discuss other options that have been explored and the costs involved. Mr. Perkins asked Ms. Higgins if she had a cost estimate on installing water meters for the users. Ms. Higgins said the cost would be between $10,000 and $14,000. Mr. Perkins said this is similar to when the Board spent funds to bring public roads into the system that serve a limited number of people. If money can be spent in that way, then it can be spent on this instance. He does have a problem with this request, and wants to be sure that staff's recommendation is adequate to protect the County from setting a precedent. There was a consensus of the Board that this item be deferred to December 8, 1993, to allow Mr. Casero an opportunity to be present. Agenda Item No. 12a.

Appropriation: Housing Coordinator Cost Center, Transfer $36,105 (Form ~930042). Mr. Tucker said in the FY 93-94 budget, the Board approved funding for the full-time Housing Coordinator position including miscellaneous operating costs and one-time capital equipment costs. These funds were budgeted in the Department of Planning and Community Development's cost center. The requested appropriation transfers the funds from Planning's budget to a new cost center (81031) that has been set up to better identify and track the costs of the County's housing program. Staff recommends approval of the appropriation that transfers $36,105 from the Planning and Community Development cost center, 81010, to the Housing Coordinator cost center, 81031. Mr. Bain made motion, seconded by Mrs. Humphris, to adopt a Resolution of Appropriation (set out below) in the amount of $36,105 to transfer funds from the Department of Planning and Community Development to the new Housing Coordinator Cost Center.

Mr. Tucker said he was not aware of deferral having anything to do with the socio economic data. He understood that the work session was deferred because the state had not finished validating the traffic projections made by the consultant. Mrs. Humphris requested that staff find out what the actual reason for the delay of a work session on Meadow Creek Parkway. Agenda Item No. 16. Adjourn. At 4:10 p.m., with no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned. Cha i rman
