of Supervisors of Chesterfield County, held at
the Courthouse on October 26, 1967 at 2:00 P.M.
Present:
Mr. Irvin G. Hornet, Chairman
Mr. H. T. Goyne, Vice-Chairman
Mr. R. J. Britton
Mr. J. Ruffin Apperson
Mr. Herbert O. Browning
Mr. A. R. Martin
Mr. Oliver D. Rudy, Comm. Atty.
Mr. Howard A. Mayo, Jr., Co. Planner
Mr. Robt. A. Painter, Co. Engineer
Mr. M. W. Burnett, Exec. Sec'y.
Mr. John E. Longmire, Asst. Exec. Sec'y.
On motion of Mr. Britton, seconded by Mr. Browning, it is resolved that the minu-
tes of October 11, 1967 be and the same are hereby approved.
The Executive Secretary cited to the Board that Mr. Apperson had stated in a pub-
lic meeting that he could not divulge why he wished to dismiss the Executive Secr(
tary because the Annexation lawyer advised against washing dirty linen in public.
Since the Board had just sat through a private meeting in which Mr. Apperson's
iaccusation had been answered and he had declined to apologize~ the Executive Secr(
itary now asks for any complaints against his office to be publicly stated.
Whereupon, Mr. Apperson states that the handling of Mr. George C. Blankenship's
hospitalization was his sole objection. He states that the Executive Secretary
had no right to send Mr. Blankenship's hospital and doctor's bills to Blue Cross
and states~ in writing, that Blue Cross should be reimbursed.
The Executive Secretary reviewed the entire case of Mr. Blankenship including re-
ports from superiors, doctors, work sheets~ and chargesleading to his r'esignation
and letters from Blue Cross~ the Industrial Commission~ Mr. Apperson, etc. The
reports showed generally that.Mr. Blankenship~ a Dog Warden, had complained of
back pains~ and on advice went to a doctor, was referred to other doctors, subse-
quently operated on, and after slightly more than two months, returned to work.
He told doctors and the Insurance Company three different dates for a supposed
accident~ his daily work sheets disclosed no let up of work during the week of th~
supposed accident.
The Industrial Commission sent Form L-42 on March 3, 1965, asking for a further
report of the acdtdent. The Executive Secretary wrote the next day that the
County had adequate insurance and offered further information if same were neces-
sary. Nothing was heard for almost 3 years when Mr. Apperson wrote to the Indus-
trial Commission for an explanation.
It was pointed out that a previous Commonwealth's Attorney had said that no report
was necessary to the Industrial Commission~ that the County was self-insured, tha~
no report had ever been filed in the past 15 years or more~ that this was the
policy set out by the Board of Supervisors, and that this case had been handled
exactly the same as dozens of other cases. The Executive Secretary stated further
that either the County or employee could go to the Industrial Commission if a
question arose, but the employees~ere well satisfied with the present policy and
no one has ever complained until Mr. Blankenship did not send to the County a bill
which would have been paid had the County received it.
Messrs. Britton, Horner, Browning and Martin generally upheld the actions of the
Executive Secretary. Mr. Goyne stated that the p~icy should not be changed.
Mr. Apperson again declined to apologize.
A complete record is filed with the Board's papers.
