~ Fire Department in controlling fires in the forests for without their help the

Mr. Covington comes before the Board tO discuss road matters. Mr. Burnett states
that all members have received a copy of the letter from Mr. Covington stating that
the Highway Department will not change the speed limit on Route 10 as requested by
the Board because according to surveys made, this limit is safe and comfortable for
most motorists. Mr. Hornet inquires about flashing lights or intersection signs.
Mr. Covington states that they probably will not install flashing lights but that
he will check into the possibility of intersection signs.

pleted study by the Highway Department on the crossovers on Route 360 will remain
as they recommended and that th.ey will consider other safety factors at the ap-
propriate time.
Mr. Horner requests Mr. Covington and the Highway Department to do a study On Court-
house Road from the intersection of Courthouse and Genito Roads to Five Forks with
the possibility of reducing the speed from 55 mph to 45 mph. ·
The meeting is called to order by the Chairman.
Mr. Apperson gives the invocation.
On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Krepela, it is resolved that the minutes
of July 23rd and 28th be and they hereby are approved.
Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Apperson and Mr. Krepela.
Mr. Burnett states that the Highway Department wants to know the Board's feeling
on Mass Transportation particularly with respect to the highway residency on Route
60 and cites further that perhaps a conference with GRTC would present to the Board
true picture of the costs of a busing program. Mr. Ritz comes before the Board
and explains the bus routes that are proposed for Chesterfield and the possibility
of parking space availability. He states that all proposed routes do have some
problems and suggests that the Planning Department be allowed to work on all three
possibilities and bring them back before the Board as they are resolved. He states
that further negotiations have to be made. There is some discussion of the finan-
cial responsibility of the County for the initial capital of the buses and the per-
cent of deficit for each year. There is further discussion of the rate that should
be charged, and Mr. Horner states that he does not want to be tied to the way the
City of Richmond is operating as they are thinking of subsidizing the entire bus
system and lowering rates and he would like this system to be equitable for all.
Upon consideration whereof, it is on motion of Mr. Krepela, seconded by Mr. Apper-
son, resolved that Mr. Ritz and Mr. Burnett contact the GRTC representatives and
negotiate for the best possible plan.
Ayes: Mrl Horner, Mr. Apperson and Mr. Krepela.
Mr. Krepela requests the Highway Department to look into the possiblity of adjust-
ing the signal lights at the intersection of Routes 147 and 60 so that they are
visible from all lanes.
On motion of Mr. Krepela, seconded by Mr. Apperson, it is resolved that the encase-
ment of the A. T. & T. cable crossing the road under construction by the Highway
Department, near County Line Road, at a cost of $2 000 be authorized and the cost
to be charged to the 3¢ Road Fund. '
Ayes: Mr. Homer, Mr. Apperson and Mr. Krepela.
Mr~ Homer inquires about the possibility of straightening Courthouse Road just
east of the convict camp. Mr. Covington states that he does have some money set
aside in his budget but he has not gotten the necessary easement but that he will
continue negotiations.
Mr. Burnett states that the County has received a cooperative agreement from the
U. S. Geological Survey for the operating of the gaging station on Falling Creek
for fiscal year 1976. He states that the cost of the operation has increased $200
from last year for a total of $1,200. Mr. Painter questions the need for renewing
this contract this year but states he would like to keep the possibilities open for
continuing in later years if the County so desires. Mr. Myers inquires why the
County should let this contract lapse when the past few years have Shown the great-
est floods in history. Mr. Painter states that this contract is good for recording
floods, records of water increases, etc. but a warning system is not set up for
floods.
Upon consideration whereof, it is on motion of Mr. Myers, seconded by Mr. Krepela,
resolved that the County terminate their contract for the operation of the gaging
station on Falling Creek with U o S. Geological Survey.
Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson and Mr. Krepela.
Mr. Myers states that he has a drainage problem on Railroad Street and that Mr.
Covington has switched signals on him a few times regarding this matter and the
easement that is necessary. He asks that Mr. Covington return to the Board meeting.
Mr. Guiil comes before the Board and states that the County permitted him to pump
and haul sewage from his home until sewer was available to the area. He states
that he did have the plugs put in and that he received a bill for $180 and 9,000
gallons of surface water being pumped which had leaked through the lines. Mr.
Painter states that the County did pay this bill and the leak is supposed to be
fixed. Som alternatives are discussed with Mr. Guill as to the sewer problem and
it is generally agreed that he should meet with the Engineering Department to work
out a solution.
Mr. Bert Howard comes before the Board and states that he feels it is essential
for the sewer line to be laid in Trampling Run. He states that Mr. Beach has had
a communication problem with the County in getting answers to some questions re-
garding this line. Mr. Horner states that Mr. Beach has four lots and that his
main concern is saving the stream bed where the proposed line is to go. Mr. Myers
states that he feels some of these types of problems could be handled administra-
.tively. Mr. Welchons states that there was some drainage problems involved, all
alternatives have been looked at, etc. It is generally agreed that the~consultant,
representatives of the Right-of-Way Department and Engineering Department and Mr.
Howard meet later this day and discuss the matter further.

water situation for the proposed library at Lockhart and Hicks Road. He states
that this water extension is estimated to cost approximately $11,000 for an 8 inch
line. Dr. Leake states that the cost for drilling a well is estimated at maximum
to be $4,000 and they would like the County to put a water line in and they will
contribute $4,000 towards the cost.
Upon consideration whereof, it is on motion of Mr. Hornet, seconded by Mr. Apperson,
resolved that the cost of this water line extension to the proposed library at
Hicks and Lockhart Roads be taken from the accounts as follows: General Fund -
$5,000, Library Fund - $4,000, and Utility System - $2,000 and further that if the

she and her neighbors are experiencing in Patrondale for lack of lighting on the

in the area. Mr. Apperson states that there is a moritorium, so to speak, on the
installation of lights in the County. Mr. Prosise states that he does have a
lengthy list of requests for lighting in the County but due to the high electric
rates they are being held for further consideration. Upon consideration whereof,
it is on motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Krepela, resolved that a street
light be installed at the intersection of Patrondale and Centralia Roads and that
the Board look at the light situation with a solution in mind for future requests.

problem at Bellwood Terrace. Mr. White cites the history of the situation and
states that his client would like to connect the original 34 units plus 10 others
this year. He states that as other problems occur they will add these units also.
Mr. Painter states that this is not the agreement made when sewer lines were laid
in the area. Mr. Apperson states that since the apartments have changed hands
quite a few times, since problems are arising and because of the new owners being
financially unable to connect all at this time, it is on his motion, seconded by
Mr. Krepela, resolved that Mr. A. O. Smith be allowed to connect 44 units at this
time and pay for 10 additional units at a cost of $6,000 cash, and to connect
others at the prevailing rate at time of connection.
Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill.
Mrs. Green of Central Park comes before the Board and presents a petition signed
by 89 residents in the area. Mr. Welchons states that some of the names on the
petition are property owners who cannot build on the lots without sewer being
available. Upon further consideration of this matter, it is on motion of Mr.
Krepela, seconded by Mr. Apperson, resolved that the Engineering Department con-
sider this as a top priority for the HUD project next year.
Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill.

Station, until October 31, 1975.
Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill.
Mr. Painter presents five contracts, three of which involve sewers for the Brander-
mill area. Mr. Burnett presents a map showing the areas to be served and states
that by deferring action on these sewer lines, we are making it extremely diffi-
cult for Brandermill at a time when other economic forces are having a negative
effect on all development; many letters have been received from adjacent property
owners requesting sewers in this area since they, too, wish to develop their prop-
erty; the projects have been reduced $830,000 from the original engineering esti-
mates; that money for these projects is in the proposed budget; bids are advantage-
· ous showing a 16~% reduction from the estimated cost; that we are receiving pick-
up money from EPA on old contracts; that one contractor who bid less than 50% of
the estimated cost wishes to withdraw his bid unless awarded immediately; that the
Clover Hill High School needs sewer facilities to stop the necessity of pumping;
that if the project is stopped at this point, it will cost the County approximately
$250,000 to stop the contract on the Bailey Bridge Pump Station and that there is
enough money to do most of the projects if the proper safeguards are taken.
i Mr. Horner states that he has been involved in sewering the County since 1960, that
the people in Clover Hill voted for the bond issue, this project is only $900,000
~ over the allocation in the $18,000,000 bond issue and he does not feel he is being
~i treated equally. He adds that he did not put Falling Creek where it is but that
the sewer is 'for the people and not for Irvin Horner and Clover Hill because this
is generating money for other areas in the County. Mr. Jim Wilkinson speaks brief-
ly for the sewer projects. After much discussion of this matter, it is decided to
discuss the situation later in the day.
On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. O'Neill, it is resolved that this Board
go into Executive Session to discuss matters,in litigation and the Board adjourns
for lunch.
Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill.
