[For'each nay vote, the substance of the departure from the require- ments of the Act should be described.] ABSENT DURING VOTE: None ABSENT DURING MEETING: None Agenda Item No. 2. Adopt Resolution approving 1990-91 Budget. Mrs. Humphris said there are some areas of the budget that need to be adjusted. She suggested that $80,000 for consultants for the salary scale April 25, 1990 (Afternoon Adjourned Meeting) (Page 2) 92 study and approximately $20,000 for the Personnel Specialist be deleted from this budget. She said that $100,000 savings could partially fund the Home Health Care Program requested by the Health Department and fund additional police officers. Mrs. Humphris noted that the Home Health Care Program was dropped from the budget last year, but had been funded in previous years. She said that many of the elderly people in the'community are being released from hospitals to homes where there is no one to check on their health needs. She feels strongly that this is an overlooked portion of the population who have no one to speak for them. She asked for Board discussion on these items. Mr. Tucker pointed out that the $80,000 for the salary scale study was not included in this budget. Mr. Bain said when the Board discussed this earlier, he understood that the decision would be made in late May as to whether funds are available in the 1989-90 budget for the study. Mr. Bowerman asked how fast the Police Department can train new employ- ees. Mr. Tucker said the process usually takes about seven months to complete unless officers have prior experience. Mr. Bowerman said he would like to either set aside funds in a contin- gency or consider more police officers later in the fiscal year. He would like that to be a top priority. Mr. Bowie said he agrees with Mrs. Humphris regarding the clerical position in Personnel. He feels the responsibility for keeping records on teacher certifications belongs to the principals. Mr. Agnor said work on teacher certifications is only part of this position. The work load is such in the Personnel office that current staff cannot do the job. He said administrative staff is working overtime and taking work home every night. The administrators are having to spend too much time doing clerical work during the day. Mr. Bowerman said principals reported to him that they are currently handling teacher certification requirements. He wondered why the Personnel Department needs to take on that job. Mr. Agnor said that is just one func- tion of this position in attempting to centralize the employee records system. Mr. Bowie said he is sympathetic to Mrs. Humphris' suggestion regarding Home Health Care. However, he is not willing to make a major change in the Health Department Budget. Mr. Bain said he is willing to consider funding $10,000 to get the program started. He is not willing to support changing the entire budget. Mr. Bowerman concurred. There were no changes made to the proposed budget as a result of these discussions. Mr. Bowie asked the status of media reports regarding the School Board's decision to suspend the pay for performance plan. Mr. Agnor said the School Board voted to have a discussion with the Board of Supervisors about giving classified employees an across-the-board raise of 5.5 percent in lieu of the proposed 2.5 percent raise with a three percent performance pool as recommend- ed in the proposed budget. Mr. 0verstreet added that the School Board voted that they wanted to have a 5.5 percent raise for classified employees and voted to discuss the matter with the Board of Supervisors. He said it was not a unanimous decision to suspend the pay for performance system. Mr. 0verstreet said the total amount of the budget will not be affected. It is an issue of how the money will be distributed. Mr. Agnor said there would be a slight difference in the total budget with the School Board's proposed change. Mr. Bowie asked what the difference would be. Mr. Agnor said it is $240,493. Mr. Way said he would like to withhold that amount from the budget until the issue is discussed with the School Board. He will not support the School budget unless the money is taken out. Mr. Way said he feels strongly that commonality between the School Division and General Government be maintained. April 25, 1990 (Afternoon Adjourned Meeting) 93 (Page 3) Mr. Bowie said while he feels the same, he wants to be sure the School budget is appropriated. Mr. Way said it has taken many years and much work to establish the pay for performance system. He feels it is a mistake to suspend the system and make an across-the-board adjustment for individuals whom the School Board feels deserve more money. Mr. Bain concurred. He said the pay scale may need to be adjusted, but he is not in favor of tying that to the pay for performance plan. He feels that is why the consultants are needed to evaluate the system. The proposed budget before the Board today fQr approval includes a 2.5 percent scale adjustment with a three percent performance pool. He asked if the School Board has to conform to the budget as approved by the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Agnor said the School Board must conform only to the total amount appro- priated. Mr. Bowerman said the Personnel Committee has recognized the inequities in the pay system and the fact that certain salary ranges need to be adjusted. He said the Committee, however, could not come to a resolution to correct the system. He said the problem with an across-the-board raise is that ranges which are above standard will also receive the increase, and that solution gives him difficulty. Mrs. Humphris said if the goal is to give additional compensation to people who are underpaid, the School Board's solution does not accomplish that. She said the solution actually rewards people who are in a good posi- tion on the scale. Mr.~ Bowerman said, as a member of the Personnel Committee, he is willing to spend the time necessary to revise the pay system to address the inequities in the School Division and in General Government. He thinks the categories can be identified and adjusted without jeopardizing the entire commonality issue. Mr. Agnor pointed out that the school budget, by State Code, must be adopted by May 1. He suggested that the issue be discussed with the School Board on next Monday. Mr. Bowie said he agrees that the Personnel Committee should try to resolve the problem. Mr. Way offered a motion to take $240,493 from the School budget and place it into the Board's contingency account until the issue of pay for performance is resolved. Mr. Perkins seconded the motion. Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Bain, Bowerman, Bowie, Mrs. Humphris, Mr. Perkins and Mr. Way. NAYS: None. Motion was then offered by Mr. Bain and seconded by Mr. Bowerman to adopt the following Annual Appropriation Ordinance appropriating funds for the 1990-91 budget. Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Bain, Bowerman, Bowie, Mrs. Humphris, Mr. Perkins and Mr. Way. NAYS: None.

Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Bain, Bowerman, Bowie, Mrs. Humphris, Mr. Perkins and Mr. Way. NAYS: None. BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, does hereby set the County Levy for the taxable year 1990 for General County purposes at Seventy-Four Cents ($0.74) on every One Hundred Dollars worth of real estate; at Four Dollars and Forty Cents ($4.40) on every One Hundred Dollars worth of assessed value of personal property; at Four Dollars and Forty Cents ($4.40) on every One Hundred Dollars worth of assessed value of machinery and tools; at Seventy-Four Cents ($0.74) on every One Hundred Dollars worth of assessed value on mobile homes; and at Seventy-Four Cents ($0.74) on every One Hundred Dollars worth of assessed value of public service assessments; and FURTHER orders that the Director of Finance of Albemarle County assess and collect on all taxable real estate and all taxable personal property, including machinery and tools not assessed as real estate, used or employed in a manufacturing business, not taxable by the State as Capital; including Public Service Corporation property except the rolling stock of railroads based upon the assessment fixed by the State Corporation Commission and certified 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 vehicles used as mobile homes or offices as set forth in the Code of Virginia; except farm machinery, farm tools, farm livestock, and household goods as set forth in the Code of Virginia, Section 58.1-3500 through Section 58.1-3508. Agenda Item No. 4. Discussion: Implementation of Rivanna Solid Waste Authority. Mr. St. John said the Board needs to adopt a set of Articles of Incorpo- ration that will satisfy the City and the County. He said the City and County attorneys and Mr. Fred Landess, the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority attor- ney, could draft those articles if the Board wished. After they are drafted, April 25, 1990 (Afternoon Adjourned Meeting) (Page 12) 102 the City and County would approve the concepts contained in them and submit them to the City Council and the State Corporation Commission for possible changes. Then the City and County would enact the articles and file them with the State Corporation Commission. Mr. St. John said the articles will be the keystone document of this Authority. Once the Authority is established, Mr. St. John said its Board of Directors would study and make recommendations regarding implementation. The Board needs to decide whether it wants to form a committee prior to establishing the Authority to make recommendations for implementation or to establish the Authority and allow the members to make these decisions. Mr. Way said he feels the next step is to have the City and County representatives begin discussions. He offered a motion that Mr. Bain and Mr. Bowie be the Board's representatives in such discussions. Mr. Bowerman seconded the motion. Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Bain, Bowerman, Bowie, Mrs. Humphris, Mr. Perkins and Mr. Way. NAYS: None. Agenda Item No. 5. Resolution in opposition to proposed federal legisla- tion to eliminate or restrict state and local income and property tax deduc- tions. Mr. Bowie said the elimination of state and local tax deductions would have a detrimental effect on local government. He said the Board could adopt a resolution and have it distributed to local officials and to the National Association of Counties (NACO). Motion was offered by Mr. Bain and seconded by Mr. Perkins to adopt the following resolution in opposition to proposed federal legislation to elimi- nate or restrict state and local income and property tax deductions. Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Bain, Bowerman, Bowie, Mrs. Humphris, Mr. Perkins and Mr. Way. NAYS: None. WHEREAS, efforts are currently under consideration to eliminate or restrict the state and local income and property tax deductions; and WHEREAS, such a proposal strikes at the basic principle of Federalism which is inherent in the income tax system and has been accepted as an essential Constitutional principle to protect the integrity and fiscal independence of the separate states and local governments; and WHEREAS, such a proposal would be a direct interference with the fundamental rights of all state and local government to raise revenue and finance services as it deems appropriate; and WHEREAs, such a proposal represents a continuation of the shift- ing of responsibilities to local governments while curtailing the power to raise revenues; a form of double taxation; and an unfair burden on the middle class households; THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, hereby declares its opposition to proposed federal legislation to eliminate or restrict state and local income and property tax deductions. Mrs. Humphris said NACO also supports a resolution from local governments to the united States Postal Service requesting special mailing rates. She said she would bring a copy of the sample resolution to the next meeting. April 25, 1990 (Afternoon Adjourned Meeting) (Page 13) 103 Agenda Item No. 6. Appointments. Mr. Bowie said that Mr. Bowerman has resigned as an Albemarle County representative on the Regional Jail Board and a replacement needs to be appointed. Motion was offered by Mr. Bowerman and seconded by Mr. Way nominating Mrs. Humphris to replace Mr. Bowerman on the Jail Board, said term to expire on December 31, 1991. Mr. Bowerman said he is resigning reluctantly. However, with assignments on several committees, including spending extra time on the Personnel Commit- tee, he feels the responsible thing for him to do is to give up this position so that another Board member can better carry out the duties. Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Bain, Bowerman, Bowie, Perkins and Way. NAYS: None. ABSTAINING: Mrs. Humphris. Agenda Item No. 6a.

Approval of Minutes: December 6(N), 1989. No minutes had been read. Agenda Item No. 8. Other Matters not listed on the agenda from the PUBLIC and the Board. Mr. Way asked when the Board could meet with the School Board to discuss the pay for performance plan. Mr. Agnor said a decision is necessary so that staff will know whether to continue adding information about school employees to the mainframe computer for institution of the pay for performance plan on July 1. The Board set a meeting for Monday, April 30 at 4:00 P.M., depending on the schedule of School Board members. Mrs. Humphris said there have been instances in which adequate informa- tion was not available from staff for an agenda item. She offered a motion that hereafter, the Board of Supervisors defer any item on the agenda for which Planning Commission minutes and staff comments are not available to the Board by Monday before the Wednesday meeting. Mr. Bowerman seconded the motion. The Board discussed the consequences to citizens of deferring items and the possibility of scheduling items to be heard by the Board at least four weeks after the Planning Commission hearings. Mr. Bain said he hopes that the new policy will minimize the need for citizens to have to come back to the Board on several occasions. Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Bain, Bowerman, Bowie, Mrs. Humphris, Mr. Perkins and Mr. Way. NAYS: None.
