~r. Tom Nichie, Chairman of the Vocational School Site Committee, appeared
and requested formal approval of agreement for operation of the joint facility,
authorization for the two School Boards to employ architects, and an appropria-
tion of $25,000.00. ~r. ,~_ichie advised that five architects had been interviewed
and a selection of aa architect had been made and approved by the School Boards.
However, he did not wish at this time to reveal the name of the firm selected.
He stated z~rther that funds were needed to carry through the de. sign and develop-
ment stages and it was estimated that $2~,000.00 would be needed, one half of
which would be appropriated by each governing body. Nr. Clyde Gouldman presented
to Council copies of the agreement for operation of the Vocational-Technical
Education center and reviewed this agreement with both bodies. Considerable dis-
cussion was given to the agreement, after which the County Attorney pOinted out
that this Board approved said agreement at its regular September meeting, subject
to the County and City Attorneys revising that section relating to terms of
office of the joint committee members so that their terms will coincide with
their terms on the respective school boards. This change was agreeable to
Council and was adopted as present'with this change. Eotion was made by
~Vood, seconded by Nr. Gibson, and unanimously adopted, authorizing the School
Boards to employ architects. Similar action was taken by Council. Nr. Gibson
asked if Council had any objection to adjusting school population in the year
immediately following an annexation and was advised that there would be no ob-
jection to this. The attorneys were requested to include this in the agreement.
On motion by Nr. Wood, seconded by ~r. Gibson, rules with regard to second read-
ing were suspended and the following resolution unanimously adopted: (Similar
~esolution was adopted ~by Council on first reading.)
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Supervisors of Albemarle
County, Virginia, that $12,500.00 be and the same is hereby appro-
priated as the County's one-half share of funds requested for the
Joint Vocational-Techmical Education Center.
The CountY Executive made report on the proposed joint jail site. He re-
ported that the architect had run into difficulty with regard to topography of
the present location selected and a study had been made with representatives of
the Department of Welfare and Institutions of the location of the ~ old
County dump joining l~oute 64 and a portion of the City's dump immediately
adjacent thereto and it was felt that this latter site would be more feasible
economically. Nr. Batchetor reporter further that his committee recommended the
selection of the latter site and recon~nended proceeding with plans a~_d specifi-
cations. In joint action, motion was made by Gibson, seconded by ~r. Joe WEight,
and unanimously adopted, accepting the recommendation of the .jail committee and
authorizing the employment of two independent appraisers to determine the value
of the land involved in order to arrive at just compensation'.
~ayor Vogt read communication from ~r. Ken Lee, Chairman of the Joint
Library Board, recommending that the governing bodies consider the establishment
of a site selection committee for planning library expansion. It was the con-
sensus of opinion that many critical issues are pending with higher priority.
However, thought should be given to planning for the future. In joint action,
motion was offered by Nr. VanYahres, seconded by Nr. Wood, accepting the recom-
mendation of the Library Board and authorizing the Nayor and Chairman to~aame a
site selection committee with the understanding that this action is taken in the
interest of orderly planning and growth but in no way obligates the governing
bodies to the expenditu~re of any funds at this time. Er. Yancey cast the only
vote against this motion.
On motion, the meeting was adjourned;
