Col. Luke said he has visited PD8’s offices and was impressed with the staff and mapping services available there. He added that a decision to move to PD-8 was not just a matter of the technological services available there, but also involved a political decision as well.
Col. Luke said as chairman of PD-9, he would support the wishes of the supervisors but felt that Rappahannock’s goal, unlike the jurisdictions of Northern Virginia, is to try to hold growth and development back.
The supervisors agreed they would prefer to remain with PD-9, but hoped the cost would not go up.
The supervisors learned that Frances Thornton’s and Beverly Massie’s terms on the School Board expire at the end of June. Mr. McCarthy said they would need to hold a public hearing on those vacancies and meet to appoint persons to the board at least a week later and that only persons nominated at those meetings could be appointed.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke told the supervisors that for Rappahannock to have elected school board members it would be necessary for 10 percent of the voters to petition the court to hold a referendum on changing the method of selecting School Board members. If the referendum passes to have elected School Board members, the election for that board would take place at the same time as the next election when the supervisors are elected, November 1995.
In other action the supervisors:
• Agreed to enter into a contract with Autometric to supply mapping services for the Enhanced 911 emergency system for $200,000. Mr. McCarthy said the telephone surcharge would cover the cost.
