Mr. Apperson states that by shifting this priority the Highway Department will think that the County does not know what it wants and what is necessary.

Reconvening: The meeting is called to order by Mr. O'Neill who states that the purpose of this meeting is to discuss the burning of leaves in a certain portion of Bon Air and adds that there is a mistake in the way in which this ordinance was advertised in that if this ordinance is passed there will not be bag fee of 25~ charged for this service. Mrs. Girone states that the reason she brought this matter to the attention of the Board and citizens in the area is because ~he had received 27 letters from people in this area requesting same. She states that no decision has been made prior to this Hearing and that the Board is here to listen to all who wish to have input in this matter. Mr. Richard Summers, Regional Director of the Virginia Lung Association, reads a statement prepared by the Association which opposes any leaf burning in the County, especially in those high density areas. Mr. Apperson questions if any studies have been done on the bad elements that are being or supposedly being produced, Mr. Summers states that they have not made any studies on the elements but that ground level smoke lingers and is more intense and would cause more harm than automobile discharge or fireplaces, etc. Mr. Elbert Holt questions the need only in the Chesterfield area. Mr. Summers states that it is especially needed in the highly concentrated residential areas and would apply to any such residential areas and not only in Chesterfield County Dr. Wagner of the County Health Department states that he is in support of the statement opposing leaf burning. He states that leaf burning does not have com- plete combustion and that is probably the biggest problem. He states that he does not know of cases where people were bothered by smoke and the inhalation of same. Dr. Wagner states further that there is a time to burn and people do not consider the weather conditions when they decide to burn leaves. Chief Dennis Turlington of the Fire Department cites the burning restrictions in the County and time restrictions set by the State Forestry Division. He states that as for fire calls, etc. he does not feel this restriction of burning leaves would reduce the calls made by the Fire Department. He states that the Fire Department does receive calls from people who are suffering because their neigh- bors are burning leaves, but they can only sympathize with the citizens because people do have the right to burn leaves as the current ordinance reads. Mr. Apperson states that Mrs. Davis and Mr. Lacy have contacted him, both of whom are against the leaf burning. Mr. Myers states that he has also been con- tacted by two people in his area who oppose burning and then reminds the Board of the family who appeared last year regarding this same problem. Mr. Bookman states that he has received one call regarding this matter which 'was prior to the proposed ordinance and against leaf burning. Mr. Henry Moss~ Regional Director of the State Air Pollution Control Board, re- quests the Board to promote clean air in the County and in the Commonwealth by prohibiting the burning of leaves. He states that the oxides and pollutants are harmful and that the smoke has been known to cause accidents by blinding drivers. Mr. Richard Googins of the Hungerford Subdivision and Mr, T. J. Harrington of the City of Richmond speak for the prohibition of burning leaves because if others have the right to burn leaves, they have the right to breathe clean air and those burning leaves cannot confine the smoke to their own land, Dr, Warren Stranburg of Briarwood speaks in favor of the ordinance to ban the burning of leaves in a certain portion of Bon Air and states that the Briarwood Civic Association voted unanimously to ask that their area also be included~ He states further that his son experiences breathing problems when the neighbors burn leaves and that others in the area are having problems also, Mrs. Elsie Elmore, representing the Women's League of Voters, speaks in favor of the leaf pick up in lieu of burning and cites cost figures of Henrico County for this service. Mrs, Nancy Cottrell of the Woodcox area and Mrs, Carolyn Bryant of Winding Way speak against the burning of leaves because of the health problems of their children. Mrs. Bryant adds that she hit a c'hild when driving down the road in smoke so thick that she could not see and she also presents a petit'ion signed by 58 people who are opposed to leaf burning. Mr. Doyle Cameron who lives in the annexed area speaks against leaf burning, He states that the federal goverl ment has asked automobile manufacturers to install equipment for decreasing pol- lutants and feels the local governments should take measures also. Mr. Scott Verser who lives in an area adjoining that which is proposed for the leaf banning states that he feels the people should be allowed to burn and not Use money to pick up leaves when other things are needed. Mr. David M. White, Attorney representing people in the area who would like to continue burning leaves presents a petition signed by 999 people who are in favor of burning. He states that those people who are being adversely affected by the leaf burning have the right to sue those responsible, The Honorable George Jones states that he represents the people in the County and he feels they do not want the proposed ordinance. He states that according to some people fireplaces should be done away with, that shadbakes should not be conducted, that hams should not be smoked, etc. and adds that he would hate to see these things come about, He asks the Board to weigh these things carefully be- cause the County may not be able to handle the cost of picking up leaves for the entire County and the taxpayers will have to bear the burden, He adds that there is too much bureaucracy at the State level and he fought to get the local govern- ment the right to decide matters of this nature because local government feels more of what is needed and wanted by the people than the State. Mr. 'Bob Stewart speaks in opposition to the proposed ordinance to ban the burning of leaves in this section of Bon Air, He quotes Dr, John Catlett, Dr. Byson, Dr. Bentley and Dr, Spencer who are specialists in their fields of alergies, radiology, etc, and they feel that smoke inhalation causes minimal problems. Mr. Walter Ponder of Claymore Road, Mr, Elbert Holt and Ms. Elizabeth Hodges speak in favor of the present ordinance and state there will be worse problems if people are not allowed to burn. Mr. David White states that the economic situation will be worse if burning is not allowed. Mr. Sam Wagstaff states that he is for the burning because it will cost the County between 4-5 million dollars to start a pick up service for the County residents and also because he can rake leaves but cannot bag them and many resident have problems which will not permit them to bag leaves. Mr. Linwood Williams, Mr, Harold Oaks, Mr. Clay Hall and Mr. Kenneth Barton all speak in favor of the ordinance as it is because they do not want to pay for this service and because they want to keep the rural way of life. Mr. Milton Nevrechan states that the Board has an obligation to strike something harmful from the books and should. Ms, Pat Hubbard states that human lives are involved and we should not burn leaves. There being no one else present to speak on this matter, Mrs. Girone states that she too agrees that this is a complicated matter and moves that this matter be deferred until May 12th at 11:.30 a,m. After some further discussion of the cost involved, the interest which has been generated, the concerns of those present etc. Mr. Myers seconds the motion, A vote being taken: Ayes: Mr, O'Neill, Mrs, Girone, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Bookman and Mr. Myers.
