special fund” to pay for such a study. Irwin said that RLEP must first receive a formal request from the county. Pete Luke felt that the Planning Commission ought to use the $500 they have on hand to pay for part of the study. “Thus we wouldn’t be accepting their offer in full but I think the county should have some part in this.”
The cost of the environmental inventory maps would be $1500. The Planning Commission had earlier asked the Piedmont Environmental Council of Warrenton to undertake the study and prepare the maps. The work would actually cost $3000, but PEC has a matching grant that would provide half the funds.
Luke also wondered if Rappahannock needed all the maps that PEC offered to produce. “It may be that we don’t really need$1500 worth of work. We may just need $1000 or $700,” he said.
If the county only ordered a smaller set of maps to start with, it might mean that more people would be able to comprehend then and wouldn’t be so overwhelmed by such a large amount of technical information, Luke said, adding that he would be one of those who would be “lost” if too many of the mpas were thrown at him at one time.
“Is this offer made to the Planning Commission?” Herbert Barksdale asked Irwin. He was told it was. “I suppose we ought to discuss it and inform the Supervisors first,” Barksdale said.
“If the Planning Commission will make a list of what maps they need, RLEP will establish a special fund to pay for them,” Irwin said, repeating that a request must come from the planners.
