RAPPAHANNOCK’S Board of Supervisors voted last Thursday by a 3-2 margin to have one man work two days a week in the zoning office.
The board, on a motion by Mrs. Betty Coates, voted to ask Col. Evan McNear, who now works one day a week for $105.50 a month, to work two days a week at $20 a day to do three jobs.
Col. McNear is now the zoning administrator and also the head of Civil Defense. He was asked by the Board to assume the duties of building inspector, also.
Chairman of the board of supervisors, Newbill Miller, voted against the motion saying, “You know he can’t. He said he can’t work one more day a week.” This is because McNear is retired, it was explained.
Mrs. Coates explained her opinion in the event McNear turns down the increase: “If I find that I can’t do the job, I would resign.”
THE DEBATE over the job came up when chairman of the planning commission, H. S. Barksdale, came before the commission to request an assistant for Col. McNear, to work two extra days,
Barksdale suggested Francis Baumgardner, but no action was taken on this action was taken on^this suggestion.
