Mr. Stiles stated that in the past four years he had often disagreed
with Mr. Malcolm, the fact that we often approached subjects from a
different philosophical point of view, nevertheless I feel that Mr.
Malcolm's integrity, dedication and hard work have been a credit to himself,
451
the people of Shawnee District and to Frederick County. You could disagree
with Mr. Malcolm but still remain friends with him. The Board will miss Mr.
Malcolm. I know I will miss his advice and counsel. As Chairman of the
Judicial Center Committee he has spent many hours on this project and had he
not been able to do this I'm not quite sure who would have. The people of
Frederick County owe Mr. Malcolm a great deal for his service to Frederick
County.
Mr. Owings stated that he would like to echo everything that Mr. Stiles
had said and further that it had been a real pleasure to serve on this Board
with Mr. Malcolm for six years. He further stated that everyone in
Frederick County had been ably represented by Mr. Malcolm, particularly
those in Shawnee District.
Mrs. Maddox stated that anything she would say would be redundant of
what had already been said. She further stated that she had enjoyed her two
years with Mr. Malcolm on the Board and that Frederick County will be a
better County in years to come because of Tom Malcolm's service on the Board
of Supervisors.
Mr. Koontz stated that he had worked with Mr. Malcolm in many different
capacities. He wanted to say that he was one of the most outstanding
persons that he had known to serve any governing body, further, that his
integrity had set an example for the adults and children alike in this
community. He further stated that he hoped that this is not the end of Mr.
Malcolm's service to Frederick County but hopefully the beginning and that
he wanted to thank him for all that he had done.
ADDITION TO THE SOUTH FREDERICK AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTAL
DISTRICT - APPROVED
Mr. Horne stated that this request had been reviewed by the
Agricultural Advisory Board as well as the Planning Commission and that they
had unanimously requested that this addition be approved by the Board of
Supervisors. Mr. Horne further stated that this addition would mean an
addition to the existing South Frederick Agricultural and Forestal District
of approximately 2,094 acres.
Upon motion made by William H. Baker, seconded by Will L. Owings and
passed unanimously, the Board of Supervisors does herein approve the
addition of approximately 2,094 acres to the South Frederick Agricultural
and Forestal District.
4 5 2 FINA NCE COMMITTEE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Mr. William Baker, Chairman of the Finance Committee, presented the
following Committee report and recommendations:
The Finance Committee met on 30 November 1981 with all members present
and makes the following report and recommendations:
Reduced Fees for County Stickers for National Guard
Members and Disabled American Veterans
The County received a request to investigate whether or not the County
had authority to offer discounts for County licenses for special National
Guard license plates. The Committee reviewed an opinion from Commonwealth's
Attorney, Lawrence Ambrogi, noting that the discount provided for in State
Code applies only to State license plates and is not applicable to Counties,
Cities or Towns.
The Committee also examined whether or not the County may exempt
disabled American Veterans from purchasing County stickers according to
State Code. The Committee reviewed an opinion from Commonwealth's Attorney,
Ambrogi, which noted that State Code currently provides for this and that
any disabled Veteran so qualified would only need to display his
registration card at the time he applies for this County motor vehicle
license decal at the Treasurer's Office, and this would exempt him from the
usual County fee. No action is required by the County on this matter.
Mr. Malcolm requested that a copy of this information be sent to Mrs.
Keckley in the Treasurer's Office.
Revisions to Tax Relief for the Elderl
The Committee noted that the Commissioner of Revenue, Rudolph, had
indicated his feelings that the exemption schedule for tax relief for the
elderly needs to be updated to bring it into line with the current economy.
The Committee noted that maximum limits imposed by State law have been
raised to $55,000.00 for net worth and $15,000 for income. Mr. Rudolph has
proposed that revised limits be established to $12,000.00 for income and
$3,000.00 for live -in allowance and $30,000.00 for net worth. For
comparison purposes, Table I depicts the current net worth and live -in
allowance limits as shown:

The Committee concurrs that revisions to the current income and net
worth limits to the Frederick County Tax Relief Ordinance are appropriate.
The Committee noted that any tax requires disposable income in order to pay
it and that income, rather than total net
worth, is a more important measure
of a persons ability to pay a tax. For
this reason, a sliding scale matrix
for the application of the tax exemption is proposed with this revision.
The use of a sliding scale would allow
a progressive formula to apply that
can be weighted more in favor of income
considerations. The Committee
examined 3 possible options for a progressive
matrix and recommends that the
following matrix, shown in Table II, be
adopted as an amendment to the
current ordinance. The Committee noted
that the Commissioner, Rudolph, had
provided data from a 20% sample of the
current tax relief recipients and
this data has been applied to the current
and proposed option and is
summarized below in Table 3:

Based on the sample, the Committee noted that the mean exemption for
eligible citizens would increase from 62 to 85% and that the number of
eligible citizens may increase by around 20 %. The net effect is estimated
to increase deferred taxes to approximately 38 to 40 thousand dollars from
the current level of 20 thousand eight hundred seventy dollars. The
Committee also recommends that the filing date be reestablished as from 1
February to 1 May of the taxable year for which the exemption is claimed.
The Committee therefore proposes amendments to Sections 9 -12 (c)(d), 9 -13
(a) and 9 -14. The Committee recommends that the revisions be authorized for
advertisement and public hearing by the Board of Supervisors for action at
their first meeting in January.
Request of Parks and Recreation Commission for Supplemental
Appropriation
455
The Committee reviewed a memo from the Parks and Recreation Commission
requesting an additional appropriation to complete funding for the restroom
and concession stand at Sherando Park. The Committee noted that $48,000.00
had been budgeted in the FY82 budget for this project. The Committee also
noted that the bids received for the project were substantially over the
budget. The Committee reviewed the basis of the bids and noted that the
architects' estimate on which the budget was based was for the building
only and did not include any exterior site work. The Committee noted that
exterior site work, in fact, accounts for approximately 41% of the total
project. The Committee also noted that the Parks and Recreation Department
had returned approximately $30,000.00 to the General Fund at the end of
FY81. The Committee recommends however, that the current bids for the
project be rejected and that the Commission and the staff be instructed to
come back with options for the use of the budgeted $48,000.00 for this
project or with a plan to use the $48,000.00 to complete other on -going
Parks and Recreation projects. The Committee is unwilling to support
supplemental appropriations of this magnitude for Parks' projects at this
time.
Mr. Malcolm asked why the bid did not include any exterior site work.
Mr. Baker stated that from what he understood they were not knowledge-
able to the fact of some of the things that would have to be done at the
site. He further stated that a recommendation had been made to the Parks
and Recreation Committee at their meeting last evening that they give
consideration to viewing the area in an attempt to find a more suitable
site.
Mr. Stiles stated that there was not $48,000 budgeted for this it was
$42,000 and that the remainder was for site preparation and that line item
in the budget was to go to paving part of the road. He inquired as to what
had happened to this remaining amount.
Mr. White stated that Mr. Boyd, Director of the Finance Department, had
reported that it was $48,000 therefore being the amount the Committee had
used when discussing this matter.
Mr. Stiles stated that $5,000 had been budgeted for paving of the road
and this is what it should be spent for. He further stated that he felt the
additional appropriation to complete the funding for the restroom and con-
cession stand was completely absurd.
456
After much discussion it was decided that the Parks and Recreation
Commission would be asked to reconsider a different type of building to be
used as a restroom and concession stand at Sherando Park in order to cut
down on the cost.
Upon motion made by William H. Baker, seconded by Will L. Owings and
passed unanimously, the Board of Supervisors does herein approve the above
Finance Committee recommendation.
Proposed FY83 Budget Cycle
The Committee discussed the procedures to be employed for the
development of the FY83 County budget. The Committee notes that it is its
intention to request that budget proposals be submitted to conform to
revenue estimates based on current levels of taxation. The Committee also
notes its intention to place more emphasis on a review of the proposed work
programs of the various departments and agencies and to coordinate the work
programs to budget proposals.
The Committee intends to proceed according to the schedule for
development of the budget. The Committee notes that the detailed financial
evaluation that is being done in conjunction with the Capital Improvements
Program will yield analytical and fiscal trend information to the Committee
in early January. This information will become the basis for specific
financial management policies that the Committee will present to the Board
and which will become guiding factors in the development of the budget.
Mr. Stiles stated that he felt this was the right way to go and that he
felt the Finance Committee of the Board and the Finance Committee of the
School Board should have a meeting early in January and try to make this
Budget a joint effort.
ENGINEERING AND CODE ENFORCEMENT REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Mr. Owings, Chairman of the Engineering and Code Enforcement Committee
presented the following report and recommendations:
The Committee met on 24 November 1981 and 2 December with all members
present and makes the following report and recommendations:
Proposed Organizational Revisions to the Department of Public Works,
Inspections and Planning
The Committee reviewed a staff memoranda regarding proposed
457
organizational refinements to the departments of Code Enforcement, Public
Works and Planning. The Committee noted that the reorganization proposal
provides for no new positions. The Committee also noted that the reorgani-
zation will provide for a more rapid response by the County to resolve com-
plaints received in the various departments. The Committee also noted that
there are no additional fiscal requirements to implement the proposal. The
Committee recommends that the proposed organizational steps be approved.
The Board discussed the duties of the various individuals involved in
the proposal. Mr. Stiles stated that he was not in agreement with the
recommendation dealing with who would be responsible for checking into a
zoning violation and conditional use permits. He felt this should be
handled only through the Planning Director's office and moved that the
Committees' recommendation be tabled for further study.
Mr. Owings seconded this motion.
Mr. Malcolm stated that he would like to recommend that rather than
table the entire organizational refinement he would suggest that the Board
pass the Committee's recommendation with the stipulation that clarification
be forthcoming on the section dealing with staff assignments for zoning
violations and conditional use permits.
Mr. Stiles withdrew his motion.
Mr. Owings withdrew his second.
Upon motion made by Kenneth Y. Stiles, seconded by R. Thomas Malcolm
and passed unanimously, the recommendation of the Code and Engineering
Committee for reorganization in the Department of Public Works, Inspections
and Planning was approved as presented with a request from the Board for
clarification of the assignment of duties under this organization regarding
zoning, code enforcement and conditional use permit matters and that the
Engineering and Code Enforcement Committee report in this regard to the
Board sharing their findings with the Planning Commission.
Proposed Buildings and Grounds Improvements Program
The Committee reviewed a proposed list of buildings and grounds
improvements projects. The Committee authorized the Director of Public

Office, repairing the Court House cupola and the painting of the roof,
repairing the roof to the Clerk's Office and improving the landscaping in
the Court yard in front of the Court House. The Committee will present a
list of priorities for implementation upon receipt of detailed cost

Proposed Transfer Station Improvement Program
The Committee reviewed a memo from Bob Harriman regarding the condition
of the County's 14 trash transfer stations. The Committee noted a desire to
decrease a number of stations from the current level to possibly 9 or 10,
and to increase the available capacity at many of the stations. The
Committee noted that a detailed plan of action and budget for the conversion
of various transfer stations will be forthcoming. The Committee also noted
that the County staff is investigating alternatives between renting, owning
or leasing transfer station equipment.
Proposed Use of Board of Supervisors' Meeting Room by Circuit Court
The Committee reviewed correspondence from the Judges of the Circuit
Court proposing to institutionalize the use of the Board of Supervisors'

objections to the proposal and recommends that the Board allow the use of
the Board Room as requested with scheduling to be coordinated by the County
Administrator's Office with the Clerk of the Court.

The County reviewed two proposed cooperative regional agreements,
one between Frederick County, Clarke County and Warren County for the
interjurisdictional use of Dog Warden services and the other with counties
located in West Virginia and Maryland for interjurisdictional support for
emergency service functions. The Committee recommends adoption of the
interjurisdictional agreement with Clarke and Warren Counties for Dog Warden
services. The Committee requested that more detailed information regarding
459

with the West Virginia and Maryland counties.

MR. R. THOMAS MALCOLM ADDRESSES THE BOARD
Mr. Malcolm stated that he wanted to thank a lot of people for a lot of
very nice things that have happened to him. He further stated that he would
like to go back to when Mr. Renalds was County Administrator and publicly
state that he appreciated working with Mr. Renalds and the time he spent
with the County, he thought that that was a fruitful time and he was very
helpful to me in the early part of my service on this Board, likewise Mr.
White has been very helpful to me, providing information that I have asked
for, and I have always felt that he has been 100 percent candid and honest
with information that I have requested of him.
I can't go without thanking Ann and Carol both for handling
correspondence for me that I could not have handled. I feel they have been
very helpful and I hope other Board members have found them to have been as
beneficial as I have.
46-1
There were Board members, Mr. Rosenberger and Dr. Fish, who have spent
some time in advisory roles and positions and I feel they were surely
entitled to their points of view just as I was entitled to mine, and I hope
as a result of serving with them there was an understanding and repore that
was developed with the current members of this Board.
Mr. Chairman to you especially, I want to thank you for the many
appointments that you have given me to various Commissions and Boards,
especially the Social Service Board and the Judical Center Committee. These
two have been very personally rewarding to me and I want to thank you
publicly for the confidence that you had in me, as well as the other Board
members, to place me on these Commissions.
Last, but surely not least, the citizens of Shawnee District, I have
considered my service to Frederick County a privilege and honor and I thank
them for the confidence they have shown in electing me twice and I hope in
some small way that I have been able to contribute in a positive fashion to
the betterment of life in Frederick County. We have all had times in which
we have not agreed, but I think the times we have agreed have out weighed
those negative aspects.
In summary, I would suppose that the best analogy is to compare to my
children. We have two children I wouldn't take a million dollars for and
yet I wouldn't give you a nickel for one more.
I would have to say this experience is pretty much like that. A
million dollar experience is something that you really can't appreciate, you
will not appreciate until you have done it, but now that it's almost over
I'm not sure that I'm too sorry that it's over. I am sorry it's over, but
it's not something that I would give a whole lot of money to get involved in
again any time soon.
I appreciate all the very kind things that all of you have said to me,
and I hope in some small way I will be worthy of your praise.
UPON MOTION DULY MADE, SECONDED AND PASSED UNANIMOUSLY, IT IS
ORDERED THAT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS DO NOW ADJOURN.
