PUBLIC HEARING: PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 1995-1996 BUDGET AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN FOR THE COUNTY OF FREDERICK. VIRGINIA Mr. Riley presented an outline of the overall budget and noted those years wherein funds were used from the Reserve Fund in order to balance the budget. Mr. Kris Tierney, assistant planning director, addressed the board and gave a brief overview of the Capital Improve- ments Plan for the county. Mr. Tierney explained this plan was used to assist in budget preparation and can be changed throughout the year as it is looked upon as a planning tool. He further explained this plan was approved by the Planning commission and forwarded to the Board in January of this year. There are presently 26 projects listed for a total cost of $42,000,000 and this figure does not include debt service. 237 Mr. Dick read the Rules of Order for the public hearing at this time. The following citizens appeared before the Board to speak to the budget and Capital Improvements Plan: Kenneth Y. stiles, stonewall District, noting that the figures he used in his letter to the editor that appeared recently in the Winchester Evening star were provided to him by the county school board office, and given these figures the point is still that during the past seven years Frederick County has added more than twice as many seats in the elementary school system as enrollment has increased. He further explained that if the Board looks at the numbers on growth in the school system they will find that about two-thirds of the growth, over the past seven or eight years, has come from one factor, about 450 to 500 students going out the top end of the twelfth grade due to graduation, and about 650 to 700 students enrolling in kindergarten. He stated that last year during budget time he brought to the boards attention surplus figures that existed in the school boards health care and insurance budget, even though the school board did not agree with him, however twice within the next three or four months they admitted that their insurance was less than they had budgeted. Mr. stiles stated that he felt it was sure stupidity to close Gainesboro School and Robinson School in order to move the school board offices downtown. He feels the new county office building, that is scheduled to be built, should be reduced from the original figure of 68,000 sq. feet and the children should be left at their respective schools. He feels some of the projects currently listed on the CIP list should be stretched out over a period of years rather than trying to do all of them during the same year, which would mean a lesser impact on the budget. He feels a significant tax increase will be necessary next year in order to balance the budget. He referred to the remark made recently by Mr. Malcolm and Mr. Hott wherein they said Gainesboro and Robinson should be closed due to economics, 238 yet he does not remember any mention of economics when Sherando High School was built. He feels there are times when the children need to come before the economics, and parents need to be listened to, as to what they think is best for their children. In closing he stated that he feels the budget that has been prepared by the board this year is in the twenty-five years, that he has followed Frederick County Government and budgets, the most irresponsible budget that he has ever seen, as it is a huge deficit, that is simply putting off until next year to pay for what we want to have this year, and he does not feel this is acceptable. Donald W. Luttrell, Opequon District, asked Mr. Dick if he and Mr. Malcolm had gotten together and agreed that if Mr. Malcolm would agree to move the school board offices downtown, he would be given a blank check for this years budget. Mr. Dick informed Mr. Luttrell that this was a public hearing and they board members would not be making any responses. Mr. Luttrell stated that the original figure was $1.5 million and now it is $1.7 million. He asked about the $992,000 that has been appropriated for the operation of Dowell J. Howard, and if this amount has been deducted or will that be included. This brings an extra 3.5 million dollars in this years budget. He further noted that in last years budget there was a lot of disparity in the " hands on" teacher positions as compared to the school board administra- tion. The board of supervisors approved an extra $200,000 with the understanding that if the school board could come up with a like amount the teachers would receive a raise. The school board came up with $385,000, however the teachers did not receive all of these funds, the school board during the middle of the year gave a 1% increase or $490,000 to the administration. He feels that the reason the school board is saying that Gainesboro has become uneconomically feasible to operate is due to the fact that the superintendent has 239 designed it that way. Armel School figures should not be used for comparison of Gainesboro School. Feels the parents of children attending Gainesboro School should have their children attending the school of their choice. Mr. Luttrell asked Mr. Riley, at this time, if the county paid Mr. Cranwe11 $63,000 last year. Mr. Dick reminded Mr. Luttrell that neither board members nor staff would be making any type of response during the public hearing of the budget or the CIP. Mr. Luttrell could not understand how this much money could have been paid for legal services from Mr. Cranwe1l, based on his calculations, therefore he will request a break down from the county administrator's office. He feels that a lot of county citizens are annoyed about the county's plans to close Dowell J. Howard, even though they have expressed their displea- sure with this plan. Donnie Gladden, Opequon District, feels the budget should reflect funds that will be made available for the hiring of a competent county attorney. His second concern is with the county support of National Little Leagues, as he questions their policies as how they operate. Todd Shenk, Gainesboro District, reviewed the current CIP list and questioned the reasons behind the school board wanting to close Gainesboro Elementary School. He presented a list of facts that he felt should be considered as to why the school should remain open. Tracey Drumheller, Gainesboro District, asked the Board to vote in favor of the CIP as she feels this is the best plan for everyone. She stated that she does have some concerns with the school board budget for 1995-96. She feels Frederick County is lacking many major programs compared to what is offered in other schools in other localities. She asked the Board if they are aware of what the PTO's are doing for the county students. She further feels that the County is not as competitive as it should be. 240 Trish Grimes, Shawnee District, President of Teachers Association, feels that the lines of communication are much better this year between the board of supervisors and the school board as well as with the school council. She explained that there is currently a nineteen member group that has been working on the Goals of Education for Frederick County and the group feels there must be accountability of the Board, the educators as well as the parents. She too feels that there are times when children need to come before economics. Wendy Nadolny, Opequon District, member of the school council, addressed the over crowding in some of the schools and the effect this has on children trying to obtain the best education available. Wally Kuchyt, Gainesboro District, addressed the current budget deficit and is not happy with this. Feels county needs to plan for future expenses in order to prevent similar deficits in the future and he does not feel, at this point, that the board has any such plans in hand that addresses this area of concern. Diane Ruckman, Stonewall District, feels the Board has and is continuing to listen to the county citizens about their concerns. However she does have some concerns that perhaps Stonewall Elementary School may not be built. She further requested that the board look into the possibilities of all day kindergarten. Susan Ritter, Opequon District, lS not in favor of dropping the third high school and hopes this action is just temporary. She does not feel there is enough computer technology offered within the school system and feels this is very important especially in light of the computer age in which we are currently living. Marlene cross, Opequon District, addressed the school libraries and the fact that six of them are not open any extra hours. She further expressed concern about high school counseling being expanded to include more pupils per counsel- or. 241 stan Zuckerman, Gainesboro District, does not feel the citizens of the county are being told the whole truth. He does not feel it is costing the county that much to operate Gaines- boro school, as this building has been paid for quite some time ago, and the expense to operate this school is just not there compared to some of the other schools within the county. Annie Cain, Gainesboro District, is opposed to having Gainesboro School closed. She referred to remarks made by Mr. Malcolm in 1994 in that it would not be necessary to close Gainesboro School and in 1995 this changed she does not under- stand why. She questioned why 200 students are bused past Gainesboro School each day to Indian Hollow Elementary School. She requested that the closing of Gainesboro School be removed from the CIP list. Daniel Keyser, Gainesboro District, referred to the septic system at Gainesboro School and the fact that it is older and needs to be upgraded. He referred to the fact that there are only 150 students that attend Stonewall School and their septic system is being upgraded so why could this not also be done at the Gainesboro School, and further this should not be used as reason for closing the school. Nancy Walsh, Shawnee District, addressed the area of safety as it relates to the busing of students throughout the county and the need for two way radios on the buses in the event of an emergency. Diana Giles, Shawnee District, President of Education Association, feels this has been a very prOductive year and she requested that the Board fully fund the requests of the school board. Henry Buettner, Gainesboro District, is in support of the citizens wanting to keep Gainesboro School open as the current enrollment is 146 pupils and the school capacity is for 150. He feels the school could last another 10 to 15 years and further that the will of the people should be listened to. He did note that the current budget does concern him as a member of the 242 County Finance Committee. The fact that the county is dipping into the budget reserves in order to balance the budget concerns him a great deal. Phil Roby, stonewall District, thanked Mr. Malcolm and the school board for being as responsive as they were to the citizens of stonewall District as well as Mr. Orndoff for all his assistance. He further stated that he would not mind paying more taxes if it would mean better schools. He feels that the dialogue this year between all parties has been much better and the board members need to listen to those that are paying the taxes. Dick Krane, stonewall District, feels that just because there might be a problem in one school district does not mean the same problem exists in another district and that each district should be judged on its own merit. Brenda Drumheller, Gainesboro District, referred to statements made about the building of a new elementary school in stonewall District. She wanted everyone to understand this is two separate issues and has nothing to do with the closing of Gainesboro School. Todd Shenk, Gainesboro District, to reiterate what he has said before, Gainesboro School is worth keeping open and should be removed from the cIP list. End of Public Hearing on Budget and CIP.
