CITIZEN COMMENT
Mr. Kenneth Y. stiles, resident of Stonewall District,
appeared before the board and requested that the board consider
postponing the upcoming reassessment and referred to an article
in the Northern Virqinia Dailv wherein the County Administrator,
John Riley, and Board Chairman, Richard Dick had stated that one
of the new Commissioners first and biggest task would be han-
dling the current reassessment within the commissioner's office.
449
He further requested that the board amend the county ordinances
dealing with business license and personal property taxes in
three ways.
1. Impose a minimum revenue level of $5,000 in each of the
four of the general categories of the business license tax in
order for the license tax to be imposed.
2. Requesting by ordinance to impose a minimum assessed
value of $200 on personal property tax, for that tax to be
imposed.
3. Impose a minimum assessed value of $500 on business
personal property tax for that tax to be imposed.
He further stated that if the board would establish these
minimums and the Commissioner would use the guidelines drawn up
by her former firm for determining who is an employee and who is
a contractor, he felt this would solve the overwhelming majority
of problems that have surfaced in the Commissioner's office. He
stated that this is not necessary because of the way the ordi-
nance is written, but because of the way it is being interpret-
ed.

AN AMENDMENT TO THE FREDERICK COUNTY CODE. CHAPTER 158.
VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC: ARTICLE IV. LAW ENFORCEMENT OF
PRIVATE ROADS AND STREETS: TO ADD SECTION 158-18. THE
SUMMIT. THIS AMENDMENT WILL ALLOW FOR STREETS AND ROADS IN
THE SUMMIT TO BE DESIGNATED AS HIGHWAYS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT
PURPOSES - APPROVED
Mr. Riley presented this information to the board and
explained that meetings had been held in The Summit. As a result
of these meetings petitions had been received in the office from
residents of the Summit and the count was overwhelmingly in
favor of having the roads patrolled by the Sheriffs Department.
Mr. Smith asked if the Sheriff had been included in these
meetings.
Mr. Riley replied yes.
Mrs. Sherwood explained about the meeting and what was
discussed.
Mr. Dick asked if the ballots were mailed only to those
residents currently residing in the Summit.
Mr. Gilbert replied that only those living in the Summit
received the ballot.
Mr. Gilbert addressed the board at this time noting that
most of the citizens want to keep the Summit private, but they
also realize the increase in crime and they hope having a deputy
patrol will help to reduce this ever increasing problem.
459
Mr. Gerald Bova, President of the Homeowners Association,
addressed the board explaining why this patrolling of the
Sheriff's Department was being requested and that the majority
of those petitions received were also in favor of this request.
Ms. Peg Martin appeared before the board stating that the
trail bikes along with the four wheelers are an ever increasing
problem and she is hoping the Sheriff's patrolling will help
this problem.
Mr. Wayne Schrader referred to two fires that had recently
been set at the summit, as well as the vandalism and the major
property damage that had occurred, and he feels having this
patrol will be for the good of all.
Mr. Howard Kent, resident of Overlook Drive, had mixed
feelings about the patrol being there. Feels it will cut down
on vandalism, but will also mean all boat trailers will have to
have stickers and anyone driving a golf cart will have to have
their drivers license and he wasn't sure he liked this part of
it.
Mr. Gene Bennett referred to the summer of 1991 and how
terribly dry it was that Summer and all the problems they had
with dirt bikes and the dam.
Ms. Ruth Martin has lived at the Summit since 1982 and
feels this patrolling is very necessary.
Mr. Bruce Yost does not live in the Summit but would very
much like to see the deputies patrolling the Gainesboro District
more than they have in the past.
Mr. Charles Williams stated that he feels there are a lot
of problems within the Summit that need to be addressed and that
management needs to help in solving these problems.
Sheriff Williamson explained that he cannot enforce speed-
ing at the Summit as it is a private subdivision and there is no
speed limit.
Mrs. Sherwood asked about a substation located within the
Summit as this had been discussed at their meeting.
Sheriff Williamson replied that is correct, but this is not
in conjunction with this request. He further explained that the
460
department was planning to implement this substation as soon as
all the details were worked out.
Mr. Longerbeam asked about accident investigation.
Sheriff Williamson explained that state police will not
work accidents that occur on private property.
Upon motion made by Beverly J. Sherwood, seconded by W.
Harrington Smith, Jr., the above request for the Summit roads to
be patrolled by the Sheriff's Department was approved by the
following recorded vote:

SCHOOL FUNDING FORMULA COMMITTEE FINAL REPORT - RECEIVED BY
THE BOARD
Mr. Smith presented this information to the board.
The School Funding Formula Committee met seven times. The
charge to the committee was to establish a funding formula that
would guide the Board of Supervisors and School Board during
budget deliberations. The formula would set the parameters for
funding and diffuse the controversy over proposed spending plans
during the budget process.
The committee reviewed this process and was provided with a
formula used by Prince william County. Staff advised the
committee that no other locality in Virginia operated under such
a formula to determine school funding levels. The formula used
by Prince William simply dedicates a percentage of all county
revenues to the school system. Whatever the revenue estimated
for the coming year is what the school system received.
The committee initially felt the concept had some merit but
that a formula alone did not address the long term budget
implications of the county school system. It was felt that a
combination of items needed to be included if a workable solu-
tion was to evolve from this process.
The committee recommends that the following be accom-
plished:
Communication
Communication between the two boards is essential. A
dialogue needs to be established commencing with an October
meeting that provides revenue projections from county staff to
both bodies. Those revenue projections will not include pro-
posed tax increases. At this session the School Board needs to
provide its goals and objectives for the coming fiscal year.
462
Quarterly meetings need to continue throughout the fiscal year
in order to maintain the dialogue and to reach a consensus.
Fundina Formula
Existing budget factors can be adapted to a funding formu-
la. If in developing operating costs, factors such as average
daily membership, inflation, changes in state and federal
funding and return on investments can drive the budget outcome
and debt service and transfers can remain fixed, then parameters
can be set that will provide a more predictable outcome.
The committee realizes that the School Board uses some of
these factors now, but it may not be using them in the manner
described herein.
Alternative Deliverv svstems
Both boards should consider new or different technologies
to enhance the school system. Providing for opportunities such
as full year attendance in schools, distance learning and
encouragement of business and industry to participate in the
educational process at the local level are all areas that
deserve serious attention.
Goal and Objective settinq
The School Board should adopt goals and objectives at the
beginning of each budget year. Goals and objectives should be
prioritized and realistically evaluated as to the ability to be
implemented. Values should be assigned to these objectives in
order to determine if it is fiscally realistic to attain such
objectives. This exercise should undergird the communication
recommendation outlined previously in this report.
Contain Costs
It should be the function of both boards to promote econom-
ic growth, fight for state and federal support of the education-
al system and to attack health care costs at all levels.
Conclusion
It has been the pleasure of this committee to provide its
recommendation to both boards. This report is not an end all
solution to the school funding dilemma. It is, however, a
prescription to healing the divisiveness of this annual budget-
ary conflict. If effective communication and commitment to
positive change can be reached by both boards, then a rational
process will evolve that both parties can take pride in owner-
ship.

PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REPORTS - APPROVED
Mr. Orndoff presented these two committee reports.
The Public Works Committee met on Tuesday, september 7,
1993, at 7:30 a.m. Present were board members Charles W.
Orndoff, Sr. and W. Harrington Smith, Jr.; committee member
James T. Wilson; county Administrator John R. Riley, Jr. and
Director of PUblic Works, Harvey E. strawsnyder, Jr., P.E.
The following was discussed and required board action:
1. Limitinq Operational Hours of compactor sites
Frederick county is continuing to experience illegal
dumping at the compactor and container sites throughout the
county. To curb this illegal dumping and reduce the cost impact
on the citizens of Frederick county, the Public Works Director
recommended that the sites be completely fenced and the hours of
operation limited to those outlined in the attached table. Each
site will be manned approximately 45 hours per week. A motion
was made by Charles Orndoff and seconded by Harrington smith to
limit the hours of operation of the compactor and container
sites. The motion was unanimously approved. It should be noted
that limiting the hours of operation at each site will be
implemented on a gradual basis commencing with the Greenwood
Firehall site.
Appropriate notices will be posted at each site at
least two (2) weeks prior to restricting the hours of operation.
Mr. Orndoff moved for approval and Mr. Smith seconded.
Mr. Sager stated that he has had a lot of calls concerning
this, and feels we haven't seen trash on our roads until we
start limiting the hours at the compactor sites.
Mr. strawsnyder was present and explained why this was
being done and how it would operate.
464
Mr. Dick explained that he could not support this as it is
currently written. During the summer months when days are
longer and citizens are working in their yards and need to get
to the compactor sites, this report is suggesting they would not
be allowed to use the compactor sites.
Mr. Longerbeam stated that he did not feel this was fair to
the county citizens.
Mr. Dick stated that he does not have the answer at this
time, but does not agree with these restricted hours.
Mr. Orndoff noted that regardless what restrictive hours
the board would adopt they will not please everyone.
Mr. Riley suggested that the board select a site and see
how the restricted hours go, and maybe let the other sites be
open from dusk to dawn.
Mr. Orndoff explained that the county had basically prom-
ised Greenwood Fire Company that the canister at that site would
be fenced and he felt that we needed to proceed with that and
wait and see how it works before making a decision regarding the
other locations.
Mr. Orndoff withdrew his motion and Mr. smith withdrew his
second.
Upon motion made by Charles W. Orndoff Sr., seconded by W.
Harrington Smith, Jr., Greenwood Canister site will be the site
for the pilot program with posted hours, and based upon how this
works out, the other locations will be reviewed at a later date.
The above motion was approved by the following recorded vote:
Richard G. Dick - Aye
W. Harrington Smith, Jr. - Aye
James L. Longerbeam - Aye
Beverly J. Sherwood - Aye
Robert M. Sager - Aye
Charles W. Orndoff, Sr. - Aye
PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REPORT #2
The Public Works Committee met on Tuesday, October 5, 1993,
at 7:30 a.m. Present were board members Charles W. Orndoff, Sr.
and W. Harrington smith, Jr.; committee members James T. Wilson,
Dudley Rinker and Karen Kober; County Administrator John R.
Riley, Jr. and Director of PUblic Works, Harvey E. Strawsnyder,
Jr., P.E.
The following items were discussed and required board
action:
1. New S.P.C.A. Charaes
465
We have received the attached letter from the S.P.C.A.
outlining proposed rate increases effective November 1, 1993.
Essentially, the major cost impact will involve the handling of
cats which will increase form $3.00 to $10.00 per cat.
The proposed $40.00 rate related to the handling of
dogs will not be an issue because we have instructed the
S.P.C.A. to refer all county residents to the Frederick County
Animal Shelter.
Discussions concerning the above rate increases ranged
from expanding the existing animal shelter to accommodate cats
to negotiating with the S.P.C.A. to lower the proposed rate. As
a result of these discussions, the Public Works Director was
tasked with determining the estimated costs associated with
upgrading the county animal shelter to accommodate cats. The
following estimate was prepared in response to this directive:
New building addition (20' x 24')
$21,000
Additional operation and maintenance
costs per year
19.000
Estimated total
$40,000
During the committee discussions, an average cat count
of 200 was provided for the months of June through August.
Subsequent to the meeting, this average was re-evaluated for the
past 12 months yielding a rate of 103 per month. Using this
average rate yields a total cost of $12,360 per year, which is
substantially below the estimated operation and maintenance
costs. Consequently, the Public Works Department is requesting
that the Board give the Public Works Director permission to
negotiate with the S.P.C.A. for a lower rate rather than incur-
ring additional costs associated with expanding the existing
animal shelter.
Following board discussion it was their consensus that Mr.
Strawsnyder go back to the city for further negotiations and
report back to the committee at the next meeting.
Upon motion made by Charles W. Orndoff, Sr., seconded by
Robert M. Sager, the above recommendation was approved by the
following recorded vote:
Richard G. Dick - Aye
W. Harrington Smith, Jr. - Aye
James L. Longerbeam - Aye
Beverly J. Sherwood - Aye
Robert M. Sager - Aye
Charles W. Orndoff, Sr. - Aye
2. Rabies Clinic
We received a letter from Raymond Fish,
D.V.M.,questioning the justification for Frederick County
sponsoring rabies vaccination clinics. In his letter dated
August 17, 1993, he refers to an article which highlights the
legal approach to conducting rabies clinics. This article
indicates that the need for rabies clinics must be endorsed by
the local Health Department as well as the Governing Body. The
Health Department in their letter dated September 9, 1993, has
endorsed the need for a rabies clinic in Frederick County. A
motion was made by Dudley Rinker and seconded by Charles Orndoff
to continue to proceed with our current policy of sponsoring
rabies clinics. This motion was unanimously approved. The
Public Works Director was requested to verify that the clinics
466,
would be conducted in compliance with Code of virginia Title 3.1
Chapter 27.4 section 3.1-796.97.
Upon motion made by Charles W. Orndoff, Sr., seconded by W.
Harrington smith, Jr., the above was approved by the following
recorded vote:
Richard G. Dick - Aye
W. Harrington smith, Jr. - Aye
James L. Longerbeam - Aye
Beverly J. Sherwood - Aye
Robert M. Sager- Aye
Charles W. Orndoff, Sr. - Aye
3. Landfill Decals
The Public Works Director requested that consideration
be given to issuing vehicle decals for commercial users of the
landfill. The use of decals would expedite the weighing and
processing of refuse as well as improve the accounting proce-
dures associated with the weigh tickets. Issuing decals would
also afford the Treasurer's Office the opportunity to collect
delinquent accounts. The decals would be issued on an annual
basis by the Treasurer's Office. After much discussion, a
motion was made by Harrington smith and seconded by Karen Kober
to issue decals free of charge to all commercial vehicles using
the landfill. The costs would be born by the landfill enter-
prise fund for the first year after which the need for or
success of the decal system would be evaluated to determine the
determine if a specific time reference is required. The agree-
ment will be revised by the Public Works Director and returned
to committee for further evaluation at the November meeting.
Upon motion made by Charles W. Orndoff, Sr., seconded by W.
Harrington Smith, Jr., the above was approved by the following
recorded vote:
Richard G. Dick - Aye
W. Harrington Smith, Jr. - Aye
James L. Longerbeam - Aye
Beverly J. Sherwood - Aye
Robert M. Sager - Aye
Charles W. Orndoff, Sr. - Aye
2. Gore School Bid
Only one bid in the amount of $7,500 was received for
the purchase of the Gore Elementary School. This bid was
unanimously rejected. John Riley suggested that it be readver-
tised for sale for a period of 60 days. A letter will be sent
to Hebron Baptist Church thanking them for their bid and inform-
ing them of our decision.
3. Miscellaneous Reports
Various reports were submitted to the committee for
their information (see Attachments 2, 3, and 4).
The following items were discussed and were submitted for
the board's information only:
1. Landfill Aqreement Update
Comments have been received from the City of
Winche~ter. Where appropriate, these comments will be incorpo-
rated 1nto the draft agreement and redistributed for the final
review by Clarke and Frederick Counties and the City of
Winchester.
467
2. Update of Road Siqn Installation
The Virginia Department of Transportation is currently
in the process of preparing bid documents for the installation
of new road signs in FrederiCk County. Because of the lengthy
process required by the Virginia Department of Transportation to
advertise and review bids, Frederick county has assumed those
responsibilities in the essence of saving time. As a result of
this decision, Public Works will serve as the contract adminis-
trator with the Virginia Department of Transportation reimburs-
ing Frederick County for those costs associated with roads that
have been taken into the state system.
3. Miscellaneous Reports
Various reports were submitted to the committee for
their information (see Attachments 2, 3, and 4).
THE CODE AND ORDINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT - APPROVED UNDER
CONSENT AGENDA
The Code and Ordinance Committee met on Tuesday, September
7, 1993, 2:00P.M. in the Personnel Office Conference Room.
Present were W. Harrington Smith, Jr., Chairman of the Commit-
tee; Committee members Charles W. Orndoff, Sr., George W.
Johnston, III, Stephen Butler and Patricia F. Scheder. Also
present were County Administrator John R. Riley, Jr., Common-
wealth's Attorney Lawrence R. Ambrogi, and Sheriff Robert T.
Williamson.
The committee submits the following:
Discussion of the County Noise Ordinance
Mrs. J. Yount of Hunting Ridge was present to address the
committee. Ms. Yount stated that she could find no relief from
constant target shooting by her next door neighbor. Due to the
fact that she conducts horse breeding and teaches riding lessons
the discharge of firearms near her residence and place of
business has become increasingly annoying. Ms. Yount continued
by saying that she respects the rights of hunters, but could not
understand why target shooting should be allowed at all hours of
the night and early morning.
Ms. Yount concluded by asking the committee to consider an
ordinance that would prohibit the discharge of firearms on
Sundays and after sunset. The request is similar to the hours
that regulate hunters.
David Ramsey, a resident of the City of WinChester, com-
plained that any regulation of noise was impracticable to define
or enforce. Mr. Ramsey also implied that the diSCharging of a
firearm on an individual's property was tantamount to a God
given right.
Michael Wilson, of Stephens City, indicated that there
should be no regulation on the discharge of firearms.
John Hawse addressed the committee and indicated that it was
sometimes necessary to sight in a rifle after dark when one had
been hunting during the day and knocked the rifle out of sight
alignment.
Bill Hinkle, of Merriman's Lane, indicated that there were
many noises more objectionable than the discharge of firearms
and that the regulation of same would be difficult if not
impossible for the Frederick County Sheriff's Department to
enforce.
Sheriff Williamson addressed the committee by saying that
the discharge of firearms in rural areas would be difficult to
define and enforce. The department had attempted to work with
468
Ms. Yount but the remedy available should be some type of civil
action.
Larry Arnbrogi provided the committee with various sections
of the state Code (attached) that regulated hunting and the
discharge of firearms. Mr. Ambrogi concluded by saying that
civil remedies currently exist for the abatement of private
property disputes and that it should not the role of government
to regulate all private property dispute matters.
The county Administrator requested direction from the
committee on future complaints of this nature. The committee
advised Mr. Riley that there was no public relief mechanism
available to address said complaints and that the individual
should seek a private civil remedy.
The committee adjourned.
