Appointment to Library Board: Mr. Wheeler requested deferral until next meeting. At 9:30 P.M. a recess was called; meeting reconvened at 9:35 P.M. Mr. Robert Busby brought to the Board's attention a bonding problem which occurred when the Soil Erosion Control Ordinance went into effect. He said the initial bond requested on a 15 lot subdivision was $16,000, which if put up as a cash bond could have been reduced to $12,000. After voicing complaints, it was reduced to $8,000. He then said he had spoken to Mr. Clark during recess and that Mr. Clarke would handle t~he matter further. ' Mr. Clarke said the reason the bond was reduced was the Committee recommended $16,000; when the developer complained, they discovered an error in computing the amount of the bond, and reduced it to $8,000.

McClure in which Mr. McClure asked that the Board of Supervisors give the SchoolrBoard permission to proceed with plans for the use of this building. Mr. Carwile said that this is the recommendation of the Space Committee and offered motion to adopt the following resolution: WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, has for some time considered the use of McIntire School as a County Office Building but now finds that is non feasible; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Supervisors does hereby publicly state that McIntire School will not be used as a County Office Building and that the Albemarle County School Board may proceed with plans for the addition of McIntire to the public school system of Albemarle County. The motion 10-29-.75 the next two years. The estimated cost for putting the school back into the system is about $300,000.00 as compared to one million plus for the construction of a new school. The motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Carwile, Fisher, Henley, Thacker, Wheeler and Wood. NAYS: None. NOT DOCKETE-D. Mr. Wheeler said at the time the Board requested the City to rezone the McIntire property, he, representing the Board, had stated that if the building were not used as a county office building the Board would request the City to rezone the property to its original zoning. He felt this was the proper time to ask for a rezoning i~?.keeping with the commitment of the Board. Mr. Wood said he felt it was understood that the property would automatically revert to its original zoning. Mr. Wheeler asked that in good faith the Board adopt a resolution. Mr. Thacker then offered motion to advise City Council that the County intends to continue the use of McIntire as a school building and if it is the desire of City Council to rezone the property to its original zoning, at no cost to the County, the Board of Supervisors is agreeable. Mr. Thacker said he was not willing to pay any advertising costs. Mr. Wheeler said he would rather support a motion just requesting that the property be rezoned and let the City Council handle the matt.er. Motion was then offered by Mr. Fisher to adopt the following resolution: WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, on October 29, 1975, did adopt a resolution returning McIntire School to the Albemarle County School Board four school purposes; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board does hereby advise the City Council of the City of Charlottesville of this action and also advises that if it is the desire of City Council to rezone the McIntire Property to its original zoning classification, the Board of Supervisors agrees to such action. The motion was seconded by Mr. Wood and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: NAYS: Messrs. Carwile, Fisher, Henley, Thacker, Wheeler and Wood. None. Mr. Wheeler said so far he has received only one petition but he feels there will be many more in the future regarding the naming of-the new Western Albemarle High School. He said the Board will have to answer those petitions and they sho~uld decide at this time how to handle the matter. Mr. -'~ Carwile suggested that the Chairman and Mm. Henley be appointed as a committee to work with the School Board. Mr. Fisher said his telephone has been ringing constantly. Quite a few people are unhappy with the name which has been chosen. Motion was then offered by Mr. Wood to appoint a committee composed of Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Henley to Work with the School Board's con~itteei~n~he naming of this School. The motion was seconded by Mr. Fisher. Mr. Henley said he hoped the committee selected to name the school will not feel this is a slap in the face. They have worked very hard to find a satisfactory name, however, there are a number of people~.in~the Crozet area who are dissatisfied and there should be some way to arrive at a name that will be satisfactory to the majority of the citizens. Roll was called at this time and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: NAYS: Messrs. Carwile, Fisher, Henley, Thacker, Wheeler and Wood. None. No. 4. Report and Resolution, Revenue Sharing. Mr. Wheeler said he had received a communication from the National Association of Counties in which they state that prospects look bleak for renewal of general revenue sharing by Congress this year. They have asked that representatives from all over the country meet in Washington on November 18 and in the meantime the local governing bodies adopt a resolution making statements as to how the revenue sharing money has been used in their locality. He said Mr. Jones had drafted a proposed resolution. Mr. Carwile then read the resolution into the record. WHEREAS, localities depend on revenue sharing dollars to supplement local funds with minimal red tape and federal restrictions; and WHEREAS, local governments in many states prepare their budgets on a fiscal year basis which begins July 1, and all localities must make long-term budget commitments to efficiently meet citizen needs; and WHEREAS, responsive local government allows ample time for citizen participation in budget planning and preparation to assure that these locally determinedLneeds are met, making it vital to know about revenue sharing funds well in advance of the budget adoption date which is normally in April; and WHEREAS, Albemarle County, Virginia, with a population of approximately 45,000, has received since 1972 $1,923.172 in revenue sharing funds which have been used to: 1) provide a sanitary landfill 2) purchase and remodel a juvenile court facility 3) establish a building inspections department 4) establish a purchasing department 5) make additions and improvements to two parks, Mint Springs and Chris Greene 6) purchase maintenance equipment for the sanitary landfills 7) provide an additional deputy for the sheriff's department 8) fund a third recreational facility at Totier Creek Lake 9) provide minor renovations of office, facilities 10) make an interim appropriation to the library 11) pave a road into Beaver Creek reservoir 12) purchase an additional fire engine 13) fund minor renovations to the Circuit Court Clerk's office 10-29-75 14) 15) 16) 17) 18) 19) add additional fire hydrants fund low-income housing coordinating program fund the local share of the bicentennial center purchase a site for future library provide physical education facilities at community college keep an already high county property tax from being raised. proposed,-.the loss of these funds would foree Albemarle County to curtail plans 1) 2) 3) 4) an access road to an existing landfill an additional fire station in the urban area renovations of facilities purchase for juvenile court facility a low-income housing program for: AND, would be forced to: 1) 2) abandon plans to solve present space problems within the county government office building, OR raise property taxes to provide for these projects. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, hereby respectfully requests and urges that the General Revenue Sharing Program be reenacted by the first session of the 94th Congress to allow Albemarle County, as well as other localities, sufficient time to make the best possible plans for the use of these'funds/in their normal budget process. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be forwarded immediately to the Honorable Harry F. Byrd, Jr., and the Honorable William L. Scott and the Honorable J. Kenneth Robinson. Mr. Wood offered motion to adopt the resolution as read. and carried by the following recorded vote: Motion was seconded by Mr. Thacker AYES: Messrs. Carwile, Fisher, Henley, Thacker, Wheeler and Wood. NAYS: None. Mr. Thacker said he would assume that someone from the Board of Supervisors will be attending this Rally. He has heard a~.lot of complaintS about the use of travel funds and he feels this is a good illustration of the way in which they are used. No. 5. Volunteer Firemen Workmen's Compensation. over until November 20. Mr. Wheeler asked that the matter be carried No. 6. Report--Earlysville Heights Road. Mr. Wheeler said he had received the following letter from Mrs. Charles Perry of the Department of Highways and Transportation. "October 22, 1975 Albemarle County Board of Supervisors County Office Building Charlottesville, Virginia 22901 Earlysville Heights Attention: Mr. Gordon L. Wheeler Dear Mr. Wheeler: In reference to the above stated subdivision, this is to advise that I made a field review of this subdivision with Mr. A. P. Williams on ThurSd~ay, October 16th, 1975. We reviewed Ridgemont Road from the inter- section of Viewmont~.~ Road to the cul-de-sac, and Stonefield Circle from the intersection of Viewmont Road to the cul-de-sac, and there were several places in which the pavement needs to be pa~ched along with one (1) drainage easement which needs to be reg~aded'. Both these items are minor in nature. The cul-de-sac at the end of Ridgemont Road will have to be resurveyed in order to insure that it is located within the area prescribed on the original plat. Mr. Williams's land surveyor is going to certify to our office with a copy to the County of Albemarle that this cul-de-sac is located within the temporary easement as recorded on the plat. In additi6n to the above, the road plans for these two (2) roads will have to be revised in accordance with the as-built sections. If you have any questions, please advise. Very truly Fours, R. G. Warner Resident Engineer (Signed) BY: C. B. Perry Asst. Resident Engineer" Mr. Dan Barney was present and said there-is a problem in the fact that Ridgemont Road is within the easement as put to record but the surface of the road is still not in the proper location. The road extends forty-seven feet to his property line and only thirty-three feet to the opposite property line. The plan was approved by the County. He felt the road should be equi-distance between the two properties. Mr. Barney asked what would happen to his front yard if the road is moved. 10-29-75 Mr. St'~'.-John said he would have to investigate the matter. until November 20. This item was ordered carried over No. 7. Appointment--Library Board. Mr, Thacker offered the name of Mrs. Ruth Brown of Esmont for a term as a member of the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library Board, said term to expire on June 30, 197~. The motion was seconded by Mr. Carwile and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: NAYS: Messrs. Carwile, Fisher, Henley, Thacker, Wheeler and Wood. None. Mr. Robert Humphris, representing the Albemarle County Taxpayers Association, was present to make a report. He said that earlier in the month this association had sent out a questionnaire to their membership asking two different questions: 1) Are you for or against a proposal that the Board of Supervisors authorize an investigation into the 1975 property appraisals? The investigation would include what instructions were given to appraisers, what methods are used, the spread of appraisals, the sale price ratios, the method of correcting inequities that presently exist, and a readily understood format for explaining the overall appraisal system to the public. He said to this date they had received 332 replies. Ninety-four percent (94%) were for such an investigation, 3% against, and 3% had no opinion. Question number two was on the staggered term method of electing Board of Supervisors members. Mr. Humphris said the Board elected to do this in May of 1974. It was possible that this could have been presented to the public on a referendum. Their association was asked if the matter should have been included on a referendum. Seventy-eight percent (78%) were for, 15% against, 7% no opinion. He said they feel this is an important decision which was taken away from the public. Mr. Wheeler said that this could be presented to the new Board again after January 1. Mr. Humphris said they will be bringing the request back to the Board. Mr. Wheeler said the remedy for the inequality of appraisals is left to the Equalization Board. Everyone in the real estate business recognizes that the more frequent the appraisal of the property, the easier it is to keep appraisals in line. The County now has a two year appraisal program. As time goes by, appraisals will be more in line. Mr. Wheeler~-said that four or five years ago; he did not feel the County had good appraisals. He persuaded the Board at that time to hire a consultant who was the recognized leader of assessments and appraisals on the east coast. After the appraisals were completed, it was found that the appraisals made by the County staff were very good. Mr. Wheeler said he constantly checks appraisals and the County's appraisals compare favorably with any other appraisals in the state of Virginia. Mr. Humphris said the county's own figures show that 15% of the properties are appraised at 10% or more over the fair market value. This affects some 2,300 landowners. These people pay higher taxes. He said the public does not understand appraisals and they need an.~education program to know why there is this widespread inequity. Mr. Carwile asked Mr. Humphris suggestion for correcting this situation. Mr. Humphris said he had no answer. However, when 94% of the people are upset, something should be done. Mr. Carwile suggested they could go to the Board o'f Equalization. Mr. Humphris said they are relu~an~.t to do this because they have been told their appraisal is just as likely to be raised as lowered. There is also a lot of red tape involved. Mr. Wheeler said he has had lots of calls from people asking how to get their appraisals lowered. Recently, he had a call from a gentleman who owned a house near Route 64 who felt that his appraisal should be lowered because his house is close to the highway. Mr. Wheeler had asked him how much his house was worth and he had replied $45,000.00. Mr. Wheeler said he knew this was incorrect because in his file he had an advertisement for the sale of this gentleman's house at $60,000.00. When he questioned the man about this, he said the appraisal should be lowered because he had to look at the highway. Mr. Wheeler said this is not the law. He knows that this man turned down $50,000.00~ for his house last week and he felt this one man would have been one person who would have said "yes" to the Albemarle County Taxpayers Survey and that is a lot of bunk. Mr. Ray Jones said that the state is now going to do a much more detailed sales ratio by classes. They will also have an index of inequality-something similar to a coefficient of dispersion-and a median ratio which will be more meaningful than what has been received in the past. He understands that the County is on the right cycle since appraisals are made in one year and effective the next. The sales~ratio will be done on a two-year basis by the State Department of Taxation. Mr. Bailey said the question was not that 94% of the people are dissatisfied. They are not dissatisfied about their own personal appraisal but think that whate~er percentage is off is too high. They are dissatisfied on behalf of those people they feel are being discriminated against. Mr. Humphris said that is correct. Mr. Thacker said the Albemarle County Taxpayers Association has said they ~have between 700 and 800 members. The 332 who responded constitutes only about 50% of the membership. He did not think this is a repressntative sample. Mr. Humphris said he had come today to speak about the matter of staggered terms. Mr. Thacker said in the election of 1974, there was a 67% turnover, statewide, in local officials. The General Assembly was concerned and he felt this is the reason they gave the authority to localities to go to staggered terms by either referendum or resolution. He said this Board was concerned about continuity and this is the reason they had taken this action. Mr. Wheeler said he had received a phase one report from the Resource Recovery Study Commission and a report on funds. The Chairman ~of this Commission will be making a report and a request to the Board in the near future. Mr. Thacker said several appointees are needed for the Student Drug Ad-Hoc Survey Committee. It has been recommended that~the education field be represented. The school administration has recommended three persons namely Ben F. Hurt, Charles S. Armstrong, and William H. Raines. He then offered motion to appoint these people~to..the committee. The motion was seconded by Mr. Fisher and carried by the following recorded vote: 10-.29-75 Mr. Wheels~ said the Board has a request to make an appointment to the Route 20 Constitution Highway Committee. He asked that this matter be put on the agenda for November 20. Mr. Bailey said the Board had received a letter from the Commission of Outdoor Recreation suggesting consideration be given to the question of Virginia Byways. They have said they feel Route 20 from Charlottesville to Scottsville and Route 6 from Scottsville to the Nelson County line can be added at this time as it appears that Albemarle County land use controls are sufficient. This matter will also be included on November 20. Mr. Wheeler said he had also received a communication from the Albemarle County Farm Bureau in reference to the zoning ordinance and asked that this be sent on to the Planning Commission. Mr. Thacker said that Totier Creek Lake is now drained. Apparently, there is a problem with the lake bottom from the boat landing around to the intake structure. When the lake was constructed it was about three feet deep, the lake bottom now presents a problem from the stand- point of usage and algae growth in that area and it could possibly affect water quality at some point in the future. He had been out to view the prob~em with the County Engineer and they have ~'~!.~ estimated that about 15,000 cubic yards of earth would have to be moved in order to eliminate the problem. He said if the Board feels it is a problem they could order that the lake~not be filled until after the meeting of November 12 and by that time there should be enough information on which to make an intelligent decision. Mr. Wheeler suggested that the lake not be filled until after the board meeting of November 12 and a report be made at that time. Mr. Bailey said the word he had received was that boaters were having difficulty navigating that section of the lake. At 5:10 P.M., Mr. Wheeler requested an executive session to discuss the lease on the Wilhoit Building. This motion was offered by Mr. Carwile, seconded by Mr. Wood, and Carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: NAYS: Messrs. Carwile, Fisher, Henley, Thacker, Wheeler, and Wood. None. (Mr. Wheeler left the meeting at this time.) The Board reconvened at 5:35 P.M. with Mr. Thacker chairing. No. 2. Lease--Wilhoit Building. Mr. Fred Payne, Deputy County Attorney, said there have been substantial negotiations over the term of this lease. Because of pecu~i~ies~ of State Law, the rental payments have been phrased as rent escrow, Over the terms of the five- year lease agreement, the rental will be a maximum of $1,700.00 a month. The escrow will only be involved if in some eventually the lease is terminated before the end of the five-year period. Mr. Carwile said the Space Committee and the Board are familiar with the~terms of the lease. Basically, it is a five year lease with options to renew at the same rental for two additional five year periods and a maximum rental to be determined by the cost of renovations with the maximum set at $1,700.00 per month average rent over the term of the lease. Mr. Carwile then offered motion to authorize Mr. Wheeler to execute and deliver the lease upon receipt of certain other documentations from other parties such as a nondisturbance agreement from Virginia National Bank and finalization of the amount of interest that will be paid on escrow. He suggested that this be the average the county is paid on its funds invested with local banks on ~inety-day periods, adjusted quarterly. The motion was seconded by Mr. Wood. Mr. Thacker said he is willing to support the motion because he feels the terms of the lease are advantageous to the County and because of the County's pressing need for space. Roll was called at this time and"~the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Carwile, Fisher, Henley, Thacker, and Wood. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Mr. Wheeler.
