“The general population has got to feel it has some contact with government,” said Pete Luke, and every member present expressed agreement with his sentiment and with the idea of rotating meeting places for a six-month period.
“We also need a dog and pony show,” said Luke, a presentation that would explain the purposes and accomplishments of Planning District 9 for the general public.
McNear also asked the staff to consider setting up a regional conference on the subject of planning for village areas. Fauquier County, which McNear serves as planning engineer, is currently working up detailed village development plans, as opposed to indefinite “circle” designations on existing county comprehensive planning maps.
AT THE planning district board’s April meeting, held Thursday, April 22, at the Baptist Homeat Culpeper, several reports were received from John Jones, criminal justice planner for the district. For one thing, he said a resolution was needed requesting a change in regulations to enable Rappahannock County to qualify for federal grant money. As things are now, said Jones, a county is' required to have around-the-clock duty people. “They can’t be home asleep, even with a monitor, and qualify as being on duty,” said Jones.
“Then a lot of Defense Department people with red phones aren’t on duty either,” said Pete Luke, a retired Colonel, “and that includes the President, too.”
Richard McNear wanted the resolution broadened to mention “many rural areas,” not Rappahannock by itself, and with that change the resolution was approved.
