ON THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY PRIVATE INDUSTRY COUNCIL
Upon motion made by Will L. Owings, seconded by Robert M. Rhodes and
passed unanimously, Ed Keenan, Personnel Manager at National Fruit, was
appointed to serve on the Community Based Organizations on the Shenandoah
Valley Private Council.
Mr. Voorhies of the Private Industry Council recommended Mr. Keenan
along with three other nominations.
Mr. Orndoff nominated Mr. Paul Jones as the second choice of those
suggested by Mr. Voorhies.
Mr. Stiles requested that Mr. Riley write to Mr. Voorhies informing him
that the Board of Supervisors are the appointing authority and not the
Steering Committee.
DISCUSSION OF WINCHESTER AIRPORT RENTAL PROPERTY AS IT
RELATES TO THE OPERATION AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AT THE
AIRPORT
Mr. Smith stated that the Airport Commission had discussed the rental
property at the Airport and the amount that had been spent on capital
improvements. The question of the rent from Powlen Equipment, and where
these monies were listed on the original budget and where they are listed
434
now, was discussed along with why some of the items listed as capital
improvements were listed as such.
Mr. Stiles stated that it was his understanding that when the Board
approved the access road with the Highway Department that this work would be
done by the City of Winchester and not by the Airport Commission. Mr.
Stiles further stated that it was his understanding that the monies that had
been contributed from the jurisdictions were earmarked for capital improve-
ments and not for the operation of the Airport.
It was the consensus of the Board that they are in support of the
Airport Commission but that there are areas, such as the rental from Powlen
Equipment and the expenditures of the Capital Improvements, that need to be
clarified.
DISCUSSION OF COMP BOARD REQUEST - SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
Mr. Riley stated that he would like for the Board to bypass this
inasmuch as a decision had been reached by the Comp Board and the Common-
wealth's Attorney.
The Board concurred with Mr. Riley's request.
CUP #003 -84 - JAMES F. TINSMAN - BACK CREEK MAGISTERIAL
DISTRICT - DENIED
Mr. Horne presented this request and stated that the Planning Commis-
sion had recommended denial by a unanimous vote.
Mrs. Tinsman appeared before the Board in support of her request and
stated that she was curious if there was a legal point for this request to
be denied.
Mr. Orndoff asked Mrs. Tinsman if she was planning to grow enough
produce on this lot to sell without having to go elsewhere to bring in
additional produce.
Mrs. Tinsman replied no, due to the sign some produce would have to be
brought in.
Ms. Mindy McCabe, representing the Citizens Association of Stonebrook
Subdivision, appeared before the Board stating that she was opposed to this
request and asked that all those present in the audience from Stonebrook
that were opposed to this requst to stand at which time approximately
thirty -five citizens stood. Ms. McCabe further stated that she felt the
Homeowners in Stonebrook bought their property feeling that this property
was strictly for Homeowners and not for commercial use and that this
request, if granted, would create a business overtone.
Mr. Harold Cooper, the former Owner of the Fort where Mr. and Mrs.
Tinsman reside, appeared before the Board in opposition to this request
stating that he felt that this type of business would take away from the
status of Stonebrook, that of being one of the nicer Subdivisions of the
County and asked that the Board deny this request.
Mr. Tom Glass, former Owner of Stonebrook, appeared before the Board
and stated that he was opposed to this request inasmuch as he did not feel
that this type of business was appropriate for the only entrance way into
Stonebrook.
Mr. Bob Dellinger, resident of Stonebrook, appeared before the Board
stating that he was concerned about the extra traffic that such a business
located at the entrance to Stonebrook would create and he was concerned
about the safety of the children that played in this area.
Mr. John Salem, resident of Stonebrook, appeared before the Board
stating that he was opposed to this request stating that he felt the
question of off -road parking needed to be addressed.
Mr. Stiles asked Mr. Ambrogi if there was a section of the County Code
that addressed this request.
Mr. Ambrogi stated that he felt the facts had been stated by both sides
and that the Board had been given enough information in order for them to
make a decision.
Upon motion made by Robert M. Rhodes, seconded by David L. Smith and
passed unanimously, conditional use permit number 003 -84 of James F.
Tinsman, 2204 Greenfield Road, Winchester, Virginia, for a Cottage Occupa-
tion/Flowers and Produces Sales was denied. This property is identified as
Parcel Number 52 on Tax Map Number 62 in the Back Creek

Clarke County as far as trying to eliminate, or at least control, this
problem that currently exists within the County. Mr. Douglas stated that
the cost involved in implementing this program would be $15,000.
The Board felt this should go to the Finance Committee for their review

PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REPORT
433
Mr. Bill Orndoff, Chairman of the Public Works Committee, presented the
following report:
The Public Works Committee met on June 6, 1984, at 11:30 A.M., in the
Conference Room. All Committee Members were present except Wayne Miller.
Others attending were Mr. John Riley, Mr. Glenn Williamson, Mr. Marshall
Williams, Mr. Tom Rockwood and Bob Harriman. The following items were
discussed:
A. Mr. Williams of Williams Waste and Trash Collection Service and his
Attorney, Mr. Tom Rockwood, discussed with the Committee the current
Landfill tipping fees. Mr. Williams maintained that the current fees
charged were not proper in that he hauls "County" trash and therefore the
County should pay for his tipping fees. It was explained that the service
he provided was above and beyond that provided by the County and that the
tipping fees were a cost of his doing business as a refuse hauler
(commercial). After a lengthy discussion, it was agreed that Mr. Harriman
and Mr. Rockwood get together to solve the problem of unpaid Landfill fees.
Mr. Riley stated that he felt that he and Mr. Harriman could resolve
this with Mr. Rockwood.
Mr. Stiles stated that he wanted a report back on this account at the
end of this month.
B. The estimate from Shockey to modify an unoccupied Courtroom in the
Judicial Center was not available. Mr. Riley indicated that he and Mr.
Wendell Seldon of the City have discussed the joint use of the Courtroom in
City Hall for County Supervisors and City Councilmen. The Committee
recommended that the Public Services Director pursue this avenue and report
back to the Committee.
Mr. Stiles stated that he was not particularly interested in using the
City Council Chambers as a meeting place for the County.
C. Options for purchasing or renting a tire chipper and the attendent
estimated costs were discussed. A trip will be scheduled in the near future
to observe a chipper in operation. It was
recommended that
the County
reinstitute the already
in place fee structure for accepting
tires at the
Landfill ($1.00 /tractor
tire; .75 /truck tire;
.50 /car tire).
Only local
tires will be accepted.
Large vehicles will
be charged by
weight.
Mr. Harriman requested that this matter be carried over for further
study and presented the following memo to the Board of Supervisors with
regard to the disposal of tires:
During the past week various options for handling tires within the
County had been suggested:
A . Renting, buying or leasing a tire shredder and disposing of the
rubble either in the Landfill or by marketing it.
B. Solicit proposals from private industry to handle the situation at
no cost and no involvement of the County.
C. Under both general options, a fee would be required by either the
County or the corporation to dispose of the tires.
I have been in touch with individuals and /or corporations that have
proposed both A and B. It is too early at this point to recommend any
specific course of action, therefore, I recommend that these options be
investigated more thoroughly, especially the option of involving a corpora-
tion /individual in the total operation of collecting, chipping and marketing
the rubble.
I should have more definitive information within the next two weeks.
D. An estimate has been obtained for the moving of the Clearbrook
compactor and it will be moved as soon as the appropriate siting arrange-
ments can be finalized. The surfacing of the park road will be delayed
until the unit has been moved.
There was no action taken.
PERSONNEL COMMITTEE REPORT
Mr. David Smith, Chairman of the Personnel Committee, presented the
following report:
The Personnel Committee met on Tuesday, June 5, 1984 with David L.
Smith; Will L. Owings; Clarence L. Hunter and John R. Riley, County
Administrator present. James L. Longerbeam was absent. The following
report and recommendations were made:
Compensation Lieutenant Position
The Committee reviewed the attached (under separate cover) background
information on position adjustments within the Sheriff's Department. It was
the feeling of the Committee that the Salary Survey addressed the inequities
and that there will be adequate separation between Sergeant and Lieutenant
as the Lieutenant progresses on the salary scale.
There was no action taken.
Request to Fill Laborer Position in the Parks and
Recreation Department
The County Administrator presented a request to Committee to fill a
recently vacated Laborer position. It was also requested that permission be
granted to the County Administrator to fill existing first line maintenance
and technical positions without Committee or Board approval. The Committee
recommends approval and that in the future the Occupational Industrializa-
tion Center be notified when vacancies of this type occur.
Upon motion made by David L. Smith, seconded by Will L. Owings and
passed unanimously, the above recommendation was approved and amended to
read that the County Administrator be granted permission to fill existing
first line maintenance and technical positions with Personnel Committee
approval.

Discussion of Separatl
of Frederick as Fiscal
of Court Services from the Cou
Mr. Poe presented the attached resolution and by -laws to the Committee
as the suggested format for operation of the Division of Court Services
after July 1, 1984. The primary reason for separation from the County as
fiscal agent is to reestablish a funding source for Administrative costs.
This funding source will be through the Federal Government Grant process to
pay for these Administrative costs. By creating a new Policy Board we are
in effect establishing a new political subdivision as fiscal agent.
Accountability will be to the Policy Board.
