Dr. Walker replied that the (Budget was not padded as he did not believe in playing that game. Mr. Stiles stated to Dr. Walker that at the Board Budget worksession it was suggested by the School Board that there might be a cash flow problem in this particular line item and nowt he was saying that that was not what was intended by the School Board. Dr. Walker stated that he indicated it could be a cash flow problem and that the School Board felt this fund needed to be built back up in order to be able to meet foreseeable needs next year. He stated they felt all of their requests were needed items Hand just because there are not funds to meet ese needs, it does not mean the items were not needed, but some items have 4. priority than others. 42 Mr. Stiles asked if the School Board was still including an Assistant Principal for the Senseny Road School. Dr. Walker replied yes. Mr. Stiles asked how many students were at the School. Dr. Walker replied approximately 540. He stated there were a number of Special Education students there and felt the position was justified. Mr. Stiles asked how many students from the County are in some type of Special Education programs within the County Schools. Dr. Walker replied approximately 100. Mr. Stiles stated that he was interested in knowing exactly how many students in Frederick County Schools have to be taken from their regular School to another School for Special Education classes. Mr. Rhodes asked Dr. Walker if the School Board had discussed salaries since the first Budget worksession. Dr. Walker replied yes they had, after receiving the salaries and the raises that are proposed and the Board felt they were in line with neighboring jurisdictions. Mr. Rhodes asked what localities did he compare with. Dr. Walker replied Clarke, Winchester, Shenandoah, Warren, Loudoun and Facquier, plus some of comparable size such as Albermarle, Caroline, Charlottesville, Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church and Orange, etc., and found in each instance that Frederick County's Teachers and Administrative Staff weree behind all of these. Mr. Stiles stated that he did not feel when you use such Counties as Arlington, Prince William and Alexandria that that is a fair comparison. Mr. Rhodes stated that according to the Virginia Education Salary Survey these figures do not correspond. Mr. Rhodes further stated that he realized the School Board had to be competitive when hiring new Teachers but when an individual gets to a certain point in their vocation, regardless of what it is, it is very unlikely that they will get this type of raise. He further stated that he felt the County needed to concentrate on those at the lower end of the scale. Mr. Stiles stated that what concerned him in this Budget was that there was over a million dollars in salary increases and not one nickel is dependent on how someone is doing his job, and further that percentage pay raises across the Board is the wrong way to go about giving raises. Dr. Walker stated these public employees are trying to catch up from the I increases that were given during the inflation years. Mr. Stiles stated that he wanted to make it very plain that he was not riticising the individual Teachers, the Administrators or the Supervisory le as there are a lot of people in this system that have gone out of eir way, over and above the call of duty, to help his children as well as ther children, but at the same time, in particularly the administrative pay wises, he thought were absolutely outrageous. Mr. Owings stated that they requested the School Board during the work - ession to cut their Budget, as they would only give them $250,000 in new coney, they did not specify where these cuts were to be made and he felt if he Board wanted this money cut from salaries, they should have specified alaries at that time. Mrs. Maddox stated that during the worksession, she felt everyone under - tood that they were looking at salary increases being at 7% and for the chool Board to come in with this much higher level for their employees eally suprised her. Mr. Stiles stated that for the record, there are 142 classroom Teachers , ho will receive over $2,000 pay raises this year. Mr. Throckmorton stated that he agreed with Mr. Owings, that they did of set any ground rules when they told the School Board the cut had to be lade and based on that, he felt they should approve the figure given them. Upon motion made by Robert M. Rhodes and seconded by Will L. Owings, to the School Board's revisions to the 1985 -86 Budget as presented. The above resolution was approved by the following recorded vote: Aye - II L. Owings, Robert M. Rhodes, Rhoda W. Maddox and Thomas B. Throckmorton. Jay - Kenneth Y. Stiles and C.

Mrs. Maddox requested that the numbering in the lower right hand corner of the drawing be cleared up if possible.

He further stated that the drainage in some areas concerned him especially if they were going to be developed. Mr. Smith also inquired about a plat dated February 19, 1972 for a section of this property that no one could locate and he requested that the Board table this until this plat could be located. Mr. John Kronenberger, resident of Lakeside Estates, inquired about the intersection of 642 and Lakeside Drive. He stated that with the high density housing that is planned for this area by the developer in Phase 1, there will be a great increase in traffic in this area, which in his opinion would only add to an already dangerous situation. Mr. Stiles stated that the fact that this problem already existed, he did not feel they could go back to the developer to correct it, but request the Highway Department look at this in their Six Year Plan, unless it could be done sooner. Dr. Robert Horsburgh, resident of Lakeside Estates, appeared before the Board stating that a lot of his concerns had been addressed earlier but he was also concerned about the mixture of housing called for in this area. e .

Mr. George Johnston, Attorney, appeared before the Board on behalf of the residents of Lakeside stating that he was appearing before the Board tonight to request that the Board look at the basic master plan of the County's own Ordinance. He further stated that it is a concern of a great number of residents who are protected by Section 6.1 of the Code which states that "the property be developed in a manner harmoneous with the adjoining property ". Mr. Harrington Smith asked if the people of the proposed apartments will belong to a Homeowners Association. Mr. Horne replied that the Owners of the apartments would be assessed.
