REQUEST FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL OPINION REGARDING
APPLICABILITY OF SANITARY. DISTRICT FEE TO LAKE HOLIDAY
COUNTRY CLUB LOTS - APPROVED
Administrator Riley advised the County has held ongoing discussions with
representatives of Lake Holiday Country Club regarding the assessment of Lake Holiday
Sanitary District fees on lots owned by Lake Holiday Country Club. He then turned the topic
over to County Attorney Williams for further discussion.
County Attorney Williams advised that he has been dealing with the issue of whether or
not the Lake Holiday Country Club must pay the flat rate sanitary district fee directly or if the fee
could be passed on to the owners of the residential and commercial lots within the development.
He noted the sanitary district fee was not an ad valorem tax and would not work clearly within
the statute. He went on to say the best way to deal with this matter was to seek an opinion of the
Attorney General. The county could use this opinion as guidance regarding how to proceed.
Supervisor Spicer asked if Lake Holiday Country Club expressed a willingness to be
bound by the Attorney General's opinion.
County Attorney Williams responded that he had received a phone call from one attorney
for Lake Holiday Country Club regarding this issue. He went on to say it was his understanding
that Lake Holiday made the suggestion to seek the opinion.
Supervisor Lofton asked what could happen if the Board did not seek the legal opinion.
County Attorney Williams responded that Lake Holiday Country Club could pursue legal
action.
Minute Book Number 37
Board of supervisors Regular Meeting of 04/11/12
Chairman Shickle stated that somewhere along the line, the Board needs to see if it is
comfortable with the outcome and, if not, have the legislature change some things. However, if
the County were to be a player in that process, it might need to understand all of the different
pieces
Upon a motion by Supervisor Lofton, seconded by Supervisor Spicer, the Board
authorized the County Attorney to request an Attorney General's opinion concerning the
application of the Lake Holiday Sanitary District fee to lots owned by Lake Holiday Country
Club.

who had provided advice to Lake Holiday Country Club regarding this issue.

computing (i.e. storage, e-mail, word processing, etc.). Mr. Absar gave his perspective based
upon his organization's experience with Google does and e -mail. The committee agreed that
these were areas that should be explored in preparation for this technology. Mr. Banks spoke
about the need for more collaborative ventures with local "like" organizations. We (e.g. school
system, planning commission, university, etc.) need to be partners in discovering, developing
and implementing new technologies to take full advantage of the collective resources. The
county and Shenandoah University will be sending representatives to review a multicasting
technology on April 13'.
