Mr. Lindstrom t~en requested that the staff review social service agencies and obtain
the following information:
A review of all agencies offering social service programs to see if
there is duplication of programs.
An evaluation of current programs that might suffer funding cuts
from the Federal government in the future.
3. A criteria to evaluate programs on a consistent basis.
The Board concurred in the request for the above information.
Miss Nash then expressed concerns about possible plans that the Charlottesville
Housing Foundation is contemplating by combining the elderly care facility in the Scottsville
area with iow income nonelderly people. Mr. Agnor understood the plans are a substitution
of the elderly project. The Charlottesville Housing Foundation is placing an emphasis on
low income housing in the Scottsville area. Mr. Agnor said the Charlottesville Housing
Foundation is moving off in a direction that the county has some concerns about. Miss Nash
said it was impossible to put the two groups together.
Mr. Fisher noted receipt of the following letter dated July 27, 1981, from Mr. Harold
King, Highway Commissioner:
"This is in response to the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors' resolution
of October 10, 1979 requesting industrial access funds to serve State Farm
Insurance Companies in Albemarle County.
Your request has been reviewed in detail by all appropriate staff members
and discussed with Mr. William B. Wrench, the CUlpeper District Commission
member, as well as with Mr. Larry Johnson of the Governor's Division of
Industrial Development. Ail are in unanimous agreement that this. facility
does not qualify for industrial access funds within the prevailing criteria
of the Commission policy and access law by virtue of the fact that it is
an office facility, which is expressly ineligible under the Policy.
It has not been officially acted upon by the Commission in deference to a
request by Mr. D. T. Zimmerman of State Farm Insurance Companies that it be
delayed to allow him to discuss the matter with area members of the General
Assembly.
Subsequently and very recently, this has been the subject of considerable
correspondence between the Department, members of the General Assembly,
and principals interested in the project. However, no additional conditions
have been brought out that change the status of the request.
Usual!y when requests such as this are so clear-cut that favorable action
by the Commission is remote, it suffices to notify the governing body of
the Department's position. However, in this instance, if the Board wishes,
.we will put the matter on an early future agenda, but it will have to be with
a recommendation for denial.
I believe that past experiences with industrial access requests in Albemarle
CouNty vividly point out our eagerness to cooperate with the Board within the
framework of the law and policy. We remain willing to cooperate in this manner
and do not close the door on the possibility of future qualifying industry in
the ?antops Subdivision.
Therefore, unless the Board expressly requests that this be formally presented
to the Commission, you may consider the request denied."
Not Docketed. At 4:26 P.M., Mr. Fisher requested an executive session to discuss
legal matters. Motion was offered by Mr. Lindstrom, seconded by Mr. McCann, to adjourn
into executive session as requested by Mr. Fisher. Roll was called and the motion carried
by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Messrs. Fisher, Lindstrom, McCann and Miss Nash.
NAYS: None.
ABSENT: Messrs. Henley and Iachetta.
The Board reconvened into open session at 4:55 P.M.
Agenda Item No. 19. With no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
