He said trash should be put in a place that is manned, with regular hours.
Mark Malek agreed, saying the dumpster sites are better than they were but the county should find a more central site between Sperryville and Washington.
County Administrator John McCarthy said the county could get money to buy a dumpster site by selling the Scrabble site. The county owns the Scrabble site. The Huntly site is on a VDOT right-of-way.
Mr. Warner said attended the school at Scrabble and he hoped the land could be saved as a historic site.
Hampton District representative Mike Massie thanked the people for coming out to voice their opinions. He noted that there were more people present for the hearing on the dumpster sites than the school budget.
“It seems our priorities are wrong when trash is more important than education,” he said. He noted that state law requires a public hearing before the board could sell the Scrabble site.
Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham said the board would have to do something about the sites because they could become contaminated. “If we are ever hit with a Superfund cleanup, it would bankrupt the county,” he added.
Mr. Gilkey said the board will try to do what it right for the county and will let the public know the options before making a final decision.
Earlier Monday the supervisors heard a report on the proposed regional landfill at Page County.
Mr. McCarthy said the three counties, Page, Warren and Rappahannock, were still exploring the costs of operating such a facility. He said it appeared it would save the county $6 to $8 per ton to go with the regional landfill, but “there are a great many hurdles still to go.” He said they are trying to get more definite figures on the cost.
The supervisors appointed William Young to another term on the Library Board and also agreed to try to find other members. Currently no member of the Library Board is from Jackson or Wakefield districts.
They tabled making appointments to the Recreational Facilities Authority and set June 1 for public hearings on appointments to the School Board. The terms of Jackson District representative Beverly Massie and Piedmont District representative Francis Thornton expire June 30.
At the evening meeting the supervisors continued the public hearing on plans for the expansion at the Blue Rock Inn because the Planning Commission has not acted on the application. Neighbor John Hartline said he would support the application because the changes so far have been “an improvement to the area.”
The board agreed to renew the Thornton River Agricultural and Forestal District.
