“Basically, we need money to spend.”
That was the conclusion from John McCarthy in his report on the Handicap Access Committee’s progress towards eliminating barriers at the courthouse. The committee - Mr. McCarthy, Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey, E.P. Luke and Richard Abell - have talked with builders and architects, “but we have no money to do further research.” The architect who worked with Charlottesville and Albemarle County to bring public buildings there into compliance with handicapped access regulations charges $40 an hour for consulting services and $10 an hour for drafting plans, Mr. McCarthy reported.
If Rappahannock does not remove handicapped access barriers at the courthouse - the only one of the county’s public buildings which doesn’t meet state and federal standards - the county stands to lose its federal revenue sharing funds. Acordingly, Mr. McCarthy told the Supervisors, he contacted Representative French Slaughter’s office regarding the future of the federal revenue sharing program and had been told if a bill to continue revenue sharing should pass the House and the Senate, the president has announced he will veto the measure. “In other words, w'e have a revenue sharing check of $8,000 coming on October 5 and that will be all -unless (revenue sharing) is extended next year.”
