The Supervisors voted not to establish a central absentee voting district, as now allowed by state law. Col. John Carney of the electoral board said that since only ^ about 60 ballots are involved in an average election, he didn’t think establishment of a separate district is necessary.
John Jones, criminal planner Vith the Rappahannock-Rapidan planning district, appeared to present a proposal allowing “mutual aid’’ agreements between law enforcement officers in the five counties comprising the district.
W.W. Norton, school superintendent, appeared and explained that there is a move in the state legislature that would allow the county to keep some $28,000 in state education funds. These were “quality of education” funds which the county did not match, and otherwise would have to be returned. An additional $8,000 will have to be returned no matter what the legislature does, Norton said.
THE Supervisors agreed to have the old University of Virginia Extension building in Madison sold, and the county’s share of whatever the going market price is returned to the county general fund. Rappahannock originally put up $5,000 as its share of the building. None of the Supervisors liked a suggestion from a Madison judge that the facility might be used as an “unsupervised juvenile detention home.”
Amid some confusion about what exactly was involved, the Board voted that Rappahannock not participate in a federal flood insurance program. □
