<br />
<br />Mrs. Girone called the meeting to order.
<br />
<br />Mr. Myers gave the invocation.
<br />
<br /> Mrs. Gircne and Mr. Apperson made some corrections to the minutes of October 13th and 18th.
<br /> Mr. Ritz stated that he would like the minutes of October 13th explained regarding the Planning
<br /> Department. Mr. Bookman stated that his statement was made without maaning to imply any
<br /> criticism of the department itself. It was g~neratly agreed that the minutes of October
<br />13th should reflect that problems with landfills were because of the restrictions of the
<br />·Zcning Ordinance and not the Planning Departm=_nt.
<br />
<br />Itwas on notion of Mr. Bookman, seconded by Mr. Myers, resolved that the minutes of
<br />September 22nd, October 7th, 13th, 18th, 20~h and 22nd were approved as amended.
<br />
<br />Ayes: Mr. O'Neill, Mrs. Girone, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Book,an and Mr. Myers.
<br />
<br />Mr. Falwell stated that this tim_= and date had been scheduled for a Public Hearing on the
<br />abolishmmnt of the Finance Board. Mr. Micas read the proposed ordinance. Mr. ~fe'rs inquired
<br />if the Cotnty Treasurer was in agreement with the abolisb_mant. Mr. Falwell stated that he
<br />was. Mr. Myers questioned the original need for this Board if it could be abolished so
<br />easily. Mr. Micas stated that many county beards, at one tim~, did not have the financial
<br />e~pertise needed and that was the reason for a Finance Board. Mr. Falwell stated that if the
<br />Finance Board were abolished, that an A~ministrativ~ Con~nittee would be formad consisting of
<br />the County Administrator, the County Treasurer, the Director of Central Accounting and the
<br />Director of Data Processing and that more detailed, accurate records could be distributed,
<br />and that those people who are working individually to give the Board the information requested
<br />would be working ~ollectively. After further discussion of the matter, it was on motion of
<br />Mrs. Girone, secended by Mr. Apperson, resolved that the following Ordinance was adopted:
<br />
<br />Be it ordained by the Board of Supervisors of the County of Chesterfield:
<br />
<br /> (1) ql~at pursuant to the authority contained in ~58-940 of the Code of Virginia, 1950,
<br />as amanded, the Chesterfield County Finance Board is hereby abolished and all authority,
<br />powers, and duties of the Finance Board are hereby vested in the Board of Supervisors-of
<br />Chesterfield County.
<br />
<br />Ayes: Mr. O'Neill, Mrs. Girone, Mr. Apperson and Mr. Bookman
<br />Nays: Mr. Myers.
<br />
<br />Mr. Falwell stated that the Board would nc~ be the Finance Board for the County and suggested
<br />that the Administrative Committee as discussed previously be appointed. It was on notion of
<br />Mrs. Girone, seccnded by Mr. Bookman, resolved that the appointmant of an Administrative Com-
<br />mittee be deferred for two weeks.
<br />
<br />Ayes: Mr. O'Neill, Mrs. Girone, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Bookman and Mr. Myers.
<br />
<br />Mr. Ritz presents the revised schedule for the Capital Inlorovemant Program for the County.
<br />He stated that the major changes from the one presented at the maeting on October 13th were
<br />1) the Planning Conr~ission was not going to be involved and have to approve this program,
<br />2) this would allow the departumnt heads an additional month to prepare their reports, etc.
<br />Mrs. Girene stated that she was agreeable to the new schedule which would give the departn~nt
<br />heads more tima, that even if the Planninq Commission is not included this year it would not
<br />set a precedent for future years, she had-heard other supervisors in other areas who were in
<br />total support of a CIP and that she felt this planning with a revision every year was very
<br />importation.
<br />
<br />Mr. Bookman stated that the public will feel that the CIP is a certainty and will question why
<br />things are not done in the year for which a project was proposed. Mrs. Girone stated if it
<br />were inportant enough to put down in the CIP and economic factors did not prevent it, then this
<br />would be an indicatio~ that this project should be accomplished. Mr. Falwell stated that this
<br />would be the sama as tbs Operating Budget, only one year at a time would be approved. Mr.
<br />Myers stated that people would expect whatever is written to be done and that the County is just
<br />asking for trouble. Mr. O'Neill and Mr. Appersen stated that the County has been criticized
<br />before for not doing any planning. Mr. Bookman stated that he intends to keep a close look
<br />at this continuity. After further discussion of %his matter, it was on motion of Mr. Apperson,
<br />seconded by Mrs. Girone, resolved that this Board approved the concept of the CIP and approved
<br />the schedule of dates as presented but with the understanding that perhaps soma changes in the
<br />dates may be necessary.
