In a related matter County Administrator John McCarthy told the supervisors he had been informed that because of a shortfall in state revenues the state might cut or delay funds for education.
Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey suggested that Mr. McCarthy write to State Sen. Kevin Miller to express the county’s concern.
Mr. McCarthy said that the county carefully timed investing monies in certificates of deposit depending on when funds from the state for the county were expected. “The state is passing its budget troubles on to us,” he said.
“These budget predictions are very real,” Piedmont District representative Charles K. YPete” Estes said. “The economy is much flatter than most people realize.”
The supervisors also agreed to advertise a public hearing on adding a two dollar fee each month for each telephone line in the county. The fee is to be used to pay for Enhanced 911 emergency service in the county. Paul Pohling, Amissville Fire Department’s Chief and chairman of the E911 committee, presented the supervisors with a proposal from Centel to install E911 in Rappahannock County.
The Centel proposal puts the cost of “initial implementation” at $175,759. There will be additional costs for tying in customers served by C & P Telephone Co. and for naming all roads in the county and numbering all houses.
The fees on the phone lines will be collected for two or three years before E911 is placed in service to allow funds to be built up to pay for the system, Mr. Pohling
