felt there were some worthy people in Frederick County who would
have benefitted from this grant.
ALBEMfARLE COUNTY'S RESOLUTIONS REGARDING THE EXPECTED

BIENNIUM - ENDORSED

resolutions from Albemarle County:
RESOLUTION REGARDING THE EXPECTED SHORTFALL
IN STATE REVENUES FOR FY 1990 -1991
WHEREAS, the Virginia Association of Counties reported to
its members that on June 18 and June 22, respectively, the
_- Secretary of Finance of the Commonwealth of Virginia, Paul
Timmreck, presented the House Appropriations Committee and the
Senate Finance Committee with a report stating that the current
fiscal year will end with state revenues being over $100 million
short of estimates; and
WHEREAS, on June 28 a memorandum was received from Governor
Wilder in which it is stated that "in view of the prospect of
further declines in projected revenues, state agencies will
again be subject to additional budget cuts. Because sixty
percent of the state general fund budget consists of aid to
localities and individuals, it may not be possible to continue
the current policy of exempting most local aid from budget
cuts "; and
WHEREAS, this Board has held the required public hearings
and set the tax rates for 1990; and
WHEREAS, these rates cannot now be changed.
THEREFORE, any reduction in State aid will result in direct
reduction in services to citizens, primarily in the fields of
education and social services, and some of these will be dras-
tic.
- NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors
of Albemarle County, Virginia, that a copy of this resolution be
forwarded to the Honorable Lawrence Douglas Wilder, the Honor-
able Thomas J. Michie, Jr., the Honorable Mitchell Van Yahres,
the Honorable George F. Allen, the Senate Finance Committee, and
the House Appropriations Committee before the Governor unveils
his solutions to this problem on August 17, 1990.
I. Lettie E. Neher, do hereby certify that the foregoing
writing is a true, correct copy of a resolution adopted by the
Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, at a regular
meeting held on July 18, 1990.
/s/
Clerk, Board of County
Supervisors
REGARDING THE EXPECTED SHORTFALL IN STATE
REVENUES FOR THE 1990 -92 BIENNIUM
WHEREAS, the Virginia Association of Counties has reported
to its members that the Secretary of Finance of the Commonwealth
of Virginia, Paul Timmreck, has stated that Commonwealth reve-
nues may be over $200 million short of estimates for the 1990 -92
Biennium; and
WHEREAS, Governor Wilder has stated that it may not be
possible to exempt most local aid from budget cuts needed to
correct this expected deficiency; and
WHEREAS, Albemarle County is currently engaged in a large
capital improvements building program for the Albemarle County
Public School System due to a twenty -three percent population
increase during the last ten years, while being poised on the
brink of a projected population explosion expected during the
1990 and
WHEREAS, the main source of income for the County is the
real property tax; and
WHEREAS, this Board has repeatedly asked for authority from
the legislature to raise revenues through means other than the
real property tax and that authority has never been granted; and
WHEREAS, any reduction in State aid without some compensat-
ing ability for local governments to raise money will result in
a reduction of necessary programs in the areas of education and
social services and some may be drastic reductions.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that this Board again petitions
the General Assembly to grant to localities the authority to
obtain revenues through other methods, including the return of a
portion of lottery proceeds to localities, a local option income
tax, a meals and increased lodging tax; and the continuation of
the return of recordation taxes to localities.
FURTHER, RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors of
Albemarle County, Virginia, hereby directs that a copy of this
resolution be forwarded to the Honorable Thomas J. Michie, Jr.,
the Honorable Mitchell Van Yahres, the Honorable George F.
Allen, the Senate Finance Committee, and the House Appropria-
tions Committee.
I, Lettie E. Neher, do hereby certify that the foregoing
writing is a true, correct copy of a resolution adopted by the
Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, at a regular
meeting held on July 18, 1990.

Mr. Riley read to the Board a letter received from Mr.

July 18, 1990
Mr. Roger Crosen
HC 36, Box 174
Winchester, VA 22601
Dear Roger:
It has come to my attention by way of the Frederick County
Planning Dept. that I may need a clarification of the
conditional use permit for APPLELAND SPORTS CENTER.
In the application, I apparently did not spell out in
complete enough detail, the fact that we plan to sell sports
related products such as golf clubs, golf balls, shirts &
slacks, etc., and baseball and softball related equipment. All
pro shops at driving ranges have retail sales as a natural
course of doing business and I didn't realize the need to be so
specific.
A signed statement of approval from the members of the
Board of Supervisors will correct this omission, I am told by
Evan Wyatt of the Planning Commission.
If you are in agreement with this clarification of the
C.U.P., please approve the enclosed form and return it in the
enclosed self - addressed envelope.
Thank you for your approval of our C.U.P. application on
July 11, 1990. Should you have any questions about this
clarification, please call me at 869 -3500 or 667 -4216.
Sincerely yours,
APPLELAND SPORTS CENTER

management agreement between Frederick County and the Virginia

concerns regarding the County being responsible for stormwater
detention facility problems and that it would be very expensive
to do same. Some solutions discussed were to go ahead and sign
the agreement with VDOT and then execute an agreement with the
11 Home Owners Association (HOA) and County absolving the County of
any maintenance or problems (but then maintenance would fall
back on the County if HOA failed); amend the County ordinance to
include bonding approach with the developer; or execute an
agreement with the developer and follow -up with developer when
problems occur.
Mr. William Bushman, from the Virginia Department of Trans-
portation, appeared before the Board to answer any questions.
He was asked why the County was being asked to sign this
agreement now and not in the past.

last 15 years and this was the first time the County had
required downstream detention.
A motion made by W. Harrington Smith, Jr. to pursue efforts
of contacting someone higher in the system in order that this
agreement not be executed died for the lack of a second.
