CITIZEN COMMENTS
Kris Bates, resident of Clarke County, owns property in Shawnee District, appeared before
the board to express his concerns about a number of issues he has with the Master Development Plan
of Shenandoah, that is scheduled to be heard later in this meeting by the board. He stated that the
developer will probably argue that this is the "broad brush" approach that fits the bill; however, he
feels what is being presented to the board at this meeting, does nothing to protect the public's interest
in Lake Frederick.
Sharon Boyd, resident of Gainesboro District, and member ofthe Frederick County Voters
with Common Concerns (FCVCC ), appeared before the board to respond to correspondence
received from Administrator Riley about the public hearing format for the Mid - Atlantic Rezoning
proposal. Her reason for appearing before the board at this time is that she did not receive the
correspondence in the mail; therefore, due to time constraints, felt this was the appropriate time to
reply to the board. Ms. Boyd presented her format, in written form, at this time.
PUBLIC HEARING - PRESENTATION OF PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2001-2002
COUNTY BUDGET
County Administrator Riley appeared before the board where he explained that the county's
challenge in developing the FY 2001-02 fiscal year budget was to formulate a strategy to address
the almost $13 million dollars of new requests, with the understanding that additional revenue from
the state was only projected at a little over a million dollars for the operating budgets.
He further explained at the public hearing on the reassessment, the board of supervisors set
the real estate tax rate at 61 cents per $100.00. This rate was a roll back from the previous tax rate
of 64 cents.
At this timc Administrator Riley outlined priorities and funding included in the proposed
budget, by way of graphs, pointing out percentages and allocations. He explained the increases, by
way of departments, as we1l as the school system. He further explained that in looking ahead, staff
sees escalating debt service for school construction, and increased operating costs. Additional
funding for residential needs and services requires an enhanced industrial base to maintain the

county's affordable tax rate.
The following citizens appeared before the board to address the proposed county budget:
Ceasar Rocha, resident of Opequon District, member of Stephens City Fire Company,
appeared before the board to address the funds provided to the county fire departments. He asked
the board to consider providing additional funding to the fire companies as their cost for equipment
etc., continues to increase.
Mike Dulich, President of County Educational Foundation, thanked the board for the
funding provided to the school system in the 2001-2002 budget in addition to the manner in which
the two boards were able to work on this year's budget.
Lynn Clowser, resident ofOpequon District, member of the Stephens City Fire Company.
He addressed the increase in calls for their company last year stating there was an increase of 11 %,
and that they had 1,397 incidents last year. He further stated that the county's donation to their
company last year was $260,000 and he felt additional funding is needed from the county to the
county fire companies. He feels the membership is spending more time conducting fund raising
projects for the fire company rather than conducting necessary training sessions for company
personnel.
The 2001-2002 county budget will be voted on at the board meeting of April II, 2001.

PUBLIC WORKS
The Public Works Committee met on Tuesday, March 27,2001, at 8:00 a.m. All members
were present except Tom Offutt, Jim Vickers and Jim Wilson.
The following items were discussed:
***ltems Requiring Action***
1. New Tinnin!! Fees at Re~ional Landfill - (Addressed Under Landfill Oversite
Committee)
The attached memorandum from the Director of Public Works dated March 20, 2001,
outlines the revised tipping fees proposed for Fiscal Year 200112002. These fees were previously
reviewed and endorsed by the landfill oversight committee. After a brief discussion, the members
in attendance unanimously approved the revised fees which will become effective on July 1, 2001.
(See Attachment 1)
2. Status of Old Court House Renovation and Revised ArchitecturaIlEn!!ineerin!!
Costs - Approved
The Director of Public Works presented a brief progress report for the renovation ofthe old
courthouse. This report included a review of the design drawings, an examination of a scale model
of the court house and a review of the bid results. In addition, the Director of Public Works
presented a request from the architect/engineer, Reader and Swartz, P.c., for additional costs
incurred in preparation of the design documents.
The request from the architect/engineer dated March 23, 2001, is attached and provides a
detailed justification for the increased cost which totals $16,075. A majority of this cost was
associated with evaluation and restoration of the cupola and the design of an HV AC system to
replace the old steam system on the second floor. The services associated with this added cost were
outside their original scope of work. After reviewing and discussing the request, the committee
members in attendance unanimously approved the additional $16,075 in design cost. Sufficient
funds are available from the existing grant.
Two (2) bids were received for the proposed court house renovation project. A summary of
the bid results is attached. Based on our evaluation of the base bid and associated alternates, the
committee recommended that the contract be awarded to Lantz Construction Company of
Winchester, Inc. The actual amount of the work to be performed will be determined by the amount
of available funding. (See Attachment 2)
The Lantz Construction Company of Winchester, Inc. bid included alternates totaling
$584,500. Available funds for the project include a matching grant ($300,000), Fiscal Year 2000-
2001 budget funds ($35,000) and a proposed Fiscal Year 2001-2002 budget of$50,000 (Table I).
This totals $385,000. Of this amount, $63,350 had previously been encumbered for design and
construction services. The approval ofthe $16,075 design change would result in a new design total
of$79,425. We have also incurred reimbursable expenses related to crane rentals, reproduction of
drawings, etc., in the amount of approximately $4,000. We also incurred an expense of$6,895 to
winterize the court house after the demolition was completed. Therefore, to date, the total
expenditures and/or encumbrances total $90,320 (Table II) leaving $294,680 to complete the project
(Table III).
The bid submitted by Lantz Construction Company of Winchester, Inc. includes a base bid
of $194,000 and eight (8) bid alternates which result in a total bid of $584,500. Considering the
Minute Book Number 27
Board of Supervisors Meeting of 03/28/01
17
problems that we have discovered during the demolition and evaluation ofthe various building areas,
we recommend that $50,000 be added as a contingency item to cover any unforseen areas such as
asbestos removal. The addition ofthe $50,000 would yield a total construction project budget of
$634,500.
Subtracting the available funding from the project budget would yield an amount of$339,820
(Table IV) to complete the entire project. To actually open the doors to the public and complete the
museum area only, the base bid and items one (1) through five (5) would need to be completed.
Deletion of items six (6) through eight (8) would result in a savings of$l 08,800. This would reduce
the amount to complete the project to $231,020 realizing that this amount still includes $50,000 for
contingencies.
The committee members in attendance unanimously agreed that it would be prudent to
complete the entire project if financially possible.
There is also the possibility that additional funding could come from the Virginia Department
of Historic Resources in Fiscal Year 2001-2002. We have applied for an additional matching grant
($85,000 state - $85,000 Frederick County).
Following the public works meeting, we contacted the Virginia Department of Historic
Resources to determine ifthey would reimburse Frederick County at a later date for funds expended
this year or next. They indicated that they would only provide matching funds on a fiscal year basis
with prior approval.
Supervisor Smith stated that this project has been kicked around for a very long time, and
he would like for the board to make a decision.
Chairman Shickle asked how long these bid figures were good for.
Director Strawsnyder replied 90 days.
Director Strawsnyder explained that items 1 through 5 are necessary. The other items will
enhance the building, and that the alternates have to be done the way they are listed.
Administrator Riley explained that Number 3 would be his suggestion.
Supervisor Sager advised that he was concerned about fund balance.
Director Strawsnyder advised that numbers 1 and 3 would not allow the courthouse to be
opened upon completion of the work; however, number 2 would mean the courthouse would be
opened upon completion.
Upon motion made by Supervisor Sager, seconded by Supervisor Douglas, Alternate 3 was
approved in the amount of$273,800.
The above motion was approved by the following recorded vote:
Richard C. Shickle - Aye
Charles W. Orndoff, Sr. - Aye
W. Harrington Smith, Jr. - Aye
Robert M. Sager - Aye
Margaret B. Douglas - Aye
