C. Chairman Walt Cunningham distributed a letter from the State
Department of Fire Programs to all Companies. The letter solicits the Fire
Companies' support for Senate Bill 444 introduced during the 1984 session of
the General Assembly.
D. The proposed Fire Code was discussed. The present system of
utilizing the Building Inspectors was explained. The Committee recommended
that the Damage Alert Card be increased in size and that copies of the Basic
Code be provided to the Company chief. It was recommended that the present
system continue for a six month evaluation period.
E. The annual fiscal year allocation to the Fire Companies was
discussed at length. It was suggested that the Association develop a plan
for the FY 86 budget and submit it to the Finance Committee no later than
January 1, 1985.

PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
Mr. Orndoff, Chairman of the Public Works Committee, presented the
following report:
The Public Works Committee met at 11:30 A.M., October 3, 1984, in the
Conference Room. All members were present. Also present were John Riley,
John Dennison, Ed Wright and Bob Harriman. Citizens present were Marshall
Williams and Ralph Poe.
I. The following items were discussed and require action:
A. Mr. Marshall Williams of Williams Waste and Trash Collection
Service discussed the current Landfill
rates with
the Committee
as they
applied to his business. Mr. Williams
presented
an information
packet to
the Committee. The Committee, after
a lengthy
discussion, by
a majority
vote, recommends to the Board that the rate structure
remain the
same.
Mr. Owings stated that he knew
he was in
the minority on
this matter
but he did not feel the rate structure should remain as it currently is. He
further stated that his feelings on this pertains only to household trash,
as industrial and commercial are completely separate. He stated that some
years ago when the Landfill was started it was to receive household trash
J
from Frederick County and at that time there was no charge to the citizens
of Frederick County. He stated that over the years this has changed and at
this time County citizens may take their trash to the blue boxes placed
throughout the County. These blue boxes are emptied by a contractor, who in
turn takes the trash to the County Landfill and is not charged any tipage
fee as this is charged to the County General Fund and in turn is credited to
the Landfill. During the past three months the County has paid a total of
$332,000 plus for this trash service. Mr. Owings stated that there are some
people in Frederick County, for various reasons, who are unable to haul
their trash to these compactors and they are in turn willing to pay a
private contractor to come to their home and give them this pickup service,
but when this particular hauler hauls his Frederick County trash to the
Landfill he is charged $8.00 per ton for every ton he dumps and he feels
this is very unfair.
Mr. Orndoff stated that if the County allowed household trash from the
County to be dumped free at the Landfill, what would they do about charging
the City of Winchester and the Town of Berryville who also picks up
household trash and participates in the Landfill.
Mr. Owings stated that his feeling is that they are charging the people
of Frederick County who do not go the dumpsters for one reason or another
and he disagreed with this.
Mr. Orndoff asked how this would apply to the haulers that hauled both
household and commercial trash.
Mr. Owings stated that this would apply only to those haulers that
hauled household trash and if they hauled both then they should pay for all
trash other than what was household.
Mr. Owings made a motion that the tipage fee be deleted for all haulers
hauling household trash in separate trucks.
The motion died for lack of a second.
B. The Committee reviewed bids that had been solicited by the
Public Services Department to construct a special counter for the Treasurer
to accommodate the new cash register system. Seven local companies were
asked to bid. The Committee recommends the low bid of $1,985 by Nail's
Cabinet Shop be accepted.
Upon motion made by C. William Orndoff, Jr., seconded by Will L. Owings
and passed unanimously, the above recommendation was approved.
502
C. The Committee discussed a letter addressed to the County
Administrator from Mr. Bushman, Resident Engineer, regarding the use of
prison labor for drainage ditch maintenance. The Committee recommends that
the Board ask Mr. Riley to send a reply to Mr. Bushman endorsing the use of
prison labor for ditch maintenance in Frederick County.
Upon motion made by C. William Orndoff, Jr., seconded by Robert M.
Rhodes and passed unanimously, the above recommendation was approved.
II. The following items were discussed but do not require action:
A. The Committee discussed the problem faced by local septage
haulers as of January 1, 1985. Mr. Riley stated that he had been in
communication with the Health Department and that a distinct possibility
exists that the the deadline could be extended until January, 1988. The
delay could be granted due to the fact that the new sewage treatment plant,
when completed, would have the capability to accept (legally) the septage
from local haulers. Official Board action may be required at a later date.
B. The Committee authorized the Building Inspections Department to
extend credit to the Dowell J. Howard Vocational Center for building permits
on their annual modular home construction projects.
C. Mr. Ralph Poe of Candy Hill Campground expressed his concern to
the Committee in regard to the parking of travel trailers overnight on the
Frederick County Fairgrounds. Mr. Poe stated that, according to the State
regulations concerning camping, when two or more recreation vehicles spend
the night, it is legally defined as camping and conditional use permits must
be obtained and State Health conditions must be met. The Committee referred
the matter to the responsible organization.
FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

passed unanimously, the above recommendation was approved.
Salary Structure - Sheriffs Department
The Committee reviewed the proposal from the Law Enforcement and Courts
Committee relative to salary structure for personnel in the Sheriffs
Department. The Finance Committee recommends that "hazardous duty

increased from $600 per year to $900 per year for those 29 Law Enforcement
personnel currently receiving this supplement. The Committee further
recommends that the 12 Correctional Officers be allocated a $600 per year
County supplement. The total cost to implement this proposal would be
$15,900 to be transferred from Operating Contingency.

passed unanimously, the above recommendation was approved.

tion from the County.

and
the
Sheriff is
requesting permission
from the Board to fill this posi-
tion
and
he would
like to move that this
fourth Investigator position not be
filled at
this time.
Mr. Rhodes seconded this motion and the Board voted
and
was
unanimous

salary from those currently received by Sergeants under his
direct supervision.
