costs for flood-proofing the County. She stated that she
!elt this would cost the developers more money but it was worth
.t for the safety and welfare of County residents. She stated
~he County did not have flood insurance but some type of non-
~pproved insurance which allowed $35,000 for a home and
10,000 for personal possessions.

tated he represented five families who were flooded during
he recent heavy rains. He stated they did not receive

ither. He stated the people involved in the flooding had
stop traffic from coming down the road besides moving
ir possessions to safety, no one would check their electrical
they did not receive any warning of the amount of flooding that was
and no one from theCounty was veryhelpful. He statedtheyfeltthey
a little more cooperation than was received.

He inquired if the State Water Control Board had any interest
in this matter. He stated he felt the development upstream was
causing additional water flow than what had been experienced in
past years. He stated even in February, 1979 he had 18" of
water but this time he had 7~' He stated he would like the
County officials to make note ~f the lack of response by
County employees and that something be done to eliminate some
of these problems in the case of any future flooding.

stated he recently found out his home was in a 100 year flood
plain. Mr. Dodd stated that it was very unusual for the

County employees not to respond to requests for help.

of installing some type of warning devices in the streams which
could forewarn people of what to expect and he stated he would
investigate why County employees did not help these people.

zn the creeks at this time. Mrs, Lawson inquired if a study
had been made as to why we experienced the high flooding.
Mr. McElfish stated it had not but the Corps of Engineers was

Mr. Bookman stated he would like a Task Force formed involving

should include what procedures should be followed, a specific
plan of action, what could be done about flood insurance, etc.

of minutes, etc. He indicated further that he felt the County
should have an emergency assistance plan for any situation that
could arise. He stated the Task Force should be overseen by
Mr. Meiszer's office and the people could work through him
regarding the Task Force but he felt the staff would be contactin
them for their input regarding the recent flooding and past
experience with floods.
Mrs. Pearl Branch, a resident on Conifer Road, stated since
the development of Oakview her property has been constantly
washed out with waters from that development because there
was no consideration given to the additional water flow that
would come. She stated she has ruts 18" deep in her driveway
and that the foundation of her home is showing and it cannot
stand much more water. She stated water comes in the front
vents of her foundation and goes out the back, that roots on
her trees are exposed as well as most of the fence posts which
support her fence. Mr. Apperson stated the County is working
on the Bellwood Study at this time and that is probably where
this water will have to go. Mr. Bookman inquired if a larger
culvert would help temporarily. Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Turlington
were present and stated they have a pond in their yard which
has come about since the development of Oakview and that after
large rains their water has a bad taste. Mr. O'Neill stated

Mr. Dodd stated he felt restrictions such as this are not
feasible when land is so expensive and this is a good example
of when restrictions cannot be met.
Mr. Muzzy stated that because of drainage problems, the staff
has looked at three problems which they feel need to be
improved which ar.e the College Park area (Matoaca District), the
Woodmont area (Midlothian District), and the Shenandoah
Subdivision (Clover Hill District). He stated staff would like
authorization to do the design work this year and actual
improvements next year. Mr. Apperson inquired why the drainage
problem on Conifer Road which was discussed earlier today was
not listed. Mr. Muzzy stated that project would involve at
least $3,500,000 and Bellwood has not consented to allow the
water under their property because of the liability that may
fall on them. After further discussion of this matter, it was
on motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Dodd, resolved
that Community Development staff be authorized to contract for
engineering of the Woodmont, College Park and Shenandoah
Subdivision drainage problems and further that Congressman
David Satterfield be contacted regarding the fact that
Bellwood is not cooperating in a major drainage problem
facing the County.

Mrs. Arline McGuire, Mr. Elmer Hodge and Jim Edmondson were
present and explained the cash receipts system that was needed
for the Treasurer's Office. Mrs. McGuire explained that
because of the need for equipment replacement, County growth,
year end audit requirements, new accounting guidelines, data
processing changes, documentation safeguards, etc. this system
had been determined to be the best for their office. She stated
for the past several years funds for this equipment had been
budgeted but since it had never been purchased, funds had not
been budgeted this year and the cost is $20,400 for the
remainder of this year. She stated it would be leased-purchased
over a period of five years. Mrs. Girone and Mr. Dodd stated
they had reviewed this matter in the Audit Committee meeting and
it was their recommendation to proceed in this manner. Mrs. McGui~
added that the state had picked up some of these expenses in other
areas in the state and hopefully they would do so for the County.
After further consideration of the matter, it was on motion of
Mr. Bookman, seconded by Mr. Dodd, resolved that the County
Administrator be authorized to enter into a lease-purchase
agreement with ICL for a cash receipts system for the Treasurer's
Office and further the Board waived the bid requirements
because of time limitations and the necessity to have the
equipment installed as soon as possible to meet deadlines.

position and authorized the payment of mileage for any extra
trips to the Nursing Home. Mr. Dodd stated he felt the

employees and he hoped to reduce the number allowed. He
stated he was not singling this position out but he felt the
less County vehicles on the roads, the better. After further
