Wilson as well as Messrs. George Clarke and Jack Roberts of
Kenhridge Construction were present and available to answer any
questions the Board might have.
He stated further that tests had been run on the soil where the
proposed addition was to go and all indications were that the
area would take a basement with no problems. He added there are
two other basements in the ar. ea which have not had any problems
either. He stated that if the basement were eliminated, a savings
of $300;000 would be realized, excluding design work which would
be needed to house ~chanical .equipment and other offices as
well as the possibility strengthening the structures if the roof
were to provide space for this equipment. He stated the basement
79-286
included space for the communications system for the County,
a cafeteria area, a kitchen area for the .future, storage and
a print shop. He added that if the basement were deleted, delaya
would be incurred which would put the bids out of the time
period for which they are valid and the building would have to
be rebid. He stated that if the Board wanted to have only
one-fourth of the basement completed for the mech'anical~ equipment
a savings of $150,000 would be realized but space for the
areas listed previously would have to be found elsewhere. He
stated the basement could be moved above ground, moving each
floor up one level higher, and this would cost a. little more.
Mr. Bookman inquired what the cost was for each floor. Mr. Wade
stated approximately $500,000.with the basement costing
approximately $300,000. Mr. Bookman inquired when the cost
per square foot went up as the floors increased. Mr. Wade
stated when elevators were needed, and clarified further that
the basement was the cheapest floor, the first floor next, then
the second floor with the third, fourth and fifth being approxim~
ly the same cost. Mr. Bookman inquired what the price was per
square foot. Mr. Wade stated about $49.00 per square foot for
the building.
Mr. Wade stated it was t'~eir reconmendation to accept the low
bid as submitted from Kenbridge Construction with the basement
included. He added that work would begin no later than July 1,
1979. Mr. O'Neill inquired if the County would have any ~
with the Davis-Bacon Act. Mr. Roberts stated the County's
method of financing the building would not involve the Davis-
Bacon Act. There being no further discussion of the matter,
it was on motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Dodd, resolved
that Kenbridge Construction Company be awarded the contract for
tJie constructioni of th~ Co~ouse Conplex Addition who submitted the lc~ bid
the arno%mt of $3,831,000 for the base contract and further the Board

Mr. Bookman because he felt the structure was over-
designed from what was originally discussed and
further because he was not satisfied with the pro
nor with the answers from the consultants and
builder especially regarding per square foot cost
of all floors being equal. He stated he talked wi
other builders and the cost changed as you went
higher. He stated the deduction of the basement made the
of the remaining floors j trap $60,000 per floor which was
and felt the project should be rebid with the 3 story
and possibly the basement to keep within our original Droiect
Wade stated Kenbridge Cx~nstruction would begin work July 1, 1979.
Mr. Meiszer stated this time and date were scheduled for a publi~
hearing to consider an ordinance relating to Real Estate Tax
Relief for the Elderly. Mr. Micas explained the changes that
were proposed and stated that it would be effective the next
calendar year. Mr. Hilton Brooks, an elderly resident, stated
that he was disappointed with the amount of income which would
qualify a person. He stated Hanover County has an income
provision for up to $t2,000 and Charles City has one of $11,000.
He stated he felt more people would be helped if the Board raise~
the income and increased ~ the percentage of real estate ~taxes that
would be paid from 50% to abP~t 70r75%. Mrs. Girone stated
that this will be the third~ime the Board has reVieWed the ordinance
because of inflation and the current economic condition, and
if approved, it ,will be the third time that limits have been
increased. Mr. O'Neill stated that some young people who are

receive any relief.

Mr. John Smith was present tO address the proposed ordinance
regarding tax relief for the totally and permanently disabled
which he understood was proposed to have the same limits as the
tax relief for the elderly. He stated he hoped the Board would
increase the limits from the $10,000 to a higher figure. He
stated the elderly planned for retirement and had a chance to
save money but the person Y~ho suddenly found himself handicapped
was at a disadvantage. He stated with the rising costs of
hospitalization, insurance, heating fuel, food, etc., the
disabled finds himself in a real bind and he cannot find a part-
time job to supplement his income. After further discussion
of the matter, it was generally agreed that this matter be
deferred until 10:45 a.m. on June 27, 1979 at which time the
ordinance relating to the tax relief for the totally and
permanently disabled would also be discussed. Mr. Ramsey was
asked to prepare a report which would indicate the additional
cost if any, if the income amount was raised to $12,000 with
only a 25% reduction in taxes rather than the 50% and also the cost
to the Cotmty of a 25% reduction for those in the incomm bracket $10,001-$12,~

Mr. James Zook, Director of Comprehensive Planning, stated the
Board had instructed the staff to prepare a proposal for
state aid for experimental mass transportation and ride-sharing
projects. He stated the staff has proposed the following:
Aerial Program - Scheduled express bus service on Routes 1-301,
~0 and 360 between existing parking facilities (or new park'n'
ride facilities) in the County and regional employment centers to
be operated by a private carrier under contract to the County and
subsidized by the Virginia Department of Highways and Transporta-
tion.
~mployer/Community Group Program - Subscription service between
northern Chesterfield County and employment centers in the
Richmond area by contract between the employer/community
association and the County, and between the carrier and the
County, and subsidized by the Virginia Department of Highways
and Transportation.
He added furtl~er~,,that the budget included $20,000 for a staff
person who would monitor the program. Mrs. Girone inquired if
this person would hinder the program. Mr. Zook stated that
this should not be a problem. Mr. Bookman inquired about
van pooling. Mr. Zook stated he ,felt the Richmond Regional
Planning District Commission would be investigating that type of
program further. Mr. O'Neill stated that he felt no matter
what program was initiated, subsidy bY the County government
would become a reality. He stated further that he thought
mass transit was for cities and oar pooling was for counties.
Mrs. Girone stated that she had approximately !,000 people that she
felt would support a bus system in her area. Mr. Dodd inquired
if and why the James River Bus Lines, now that they can operate
in the County, has not started up yet. Mr. Bookman stated
he felt the Employer/Community Group Program would be best and
would allow the people themselves to get involved to a greater
extent. Mrs. Girone stated this was a grant for one year ~and
users of the system could be t01d that i{ the pro, ram failed, '~he Con, tv will nc
subsidize it after that tame. She stated that the amount Of
cars on the road cannot travel across the Huguenot Bridge.
Mr. O'Neill stated that the County was not developed enough for
the need for mass transit as is being discussed. He stated that
Petersburg had approached the County and asked for subsidy for
the bus line into the Ettrick-Matoaca area and it is still
operating without subsidy and it is the best paying route they have.
Mrs. Girone stated she felt the Board would proceed with the
next step towards this application for state aid but would like
to eliminate the staff position. Mr. Zook stated he felt the
position was needed to monitor the program and to meet with
civic groups, etc. After further discussion of the matter, it
was on motion of Mrs. Girone, resolved that the County submit
the proposal with botch program~ included to the Virginia Departmer
of Highways and Transportation for consideration as an innovative
experimental mass transportation projeet in the Richmond/Tri-Citi~
area.

Mrs. Girone stated she had been having some problems with
zoning in her area , ~for example, when a man built a second _c~ellin~ on a
parcel of land and is using it for a real estate sales office.

'before an ~elected body such as the Supervisors rather than
to ~n appointed body such as the Board of Zoning Appeals. She
