of Revenue. The current budget included $15,000 for such a system. At budget time County Administrator John McCarthy said he expected to lease-purchase a system over a three to five year period.
The computer system, including software, will cost $42,000. There will be an additional charge of $4,000 yearly for updating software, and a five year maintenance agreement costing almost $6,000.
The supervisors voted to increase the appropriation in the budget by $40,000 to purchase the system outright instead of buying it over time. The increased appropriation is covered by funds the county has been receiving for taking “fluff’ from Davis Industries at the landfill. Mr. McCarthy said the county had received more than $27,000 in October and expects to get $29,000 this month.
Hampton District representative Mike Massie and Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson reported on the first meeting of the Shenandoah National Park Advisory Committee. They, along with Mr. Estes, were appointed to represent the county on the committee last month. Mr. Massie said the committee had representatives from six of the eight counties that border the park. He said that at the first meeting members set out issues to be discussed in the future and elected officers.
Mr. Anderson said he got the definite impression that Madison County representatives wanted to use the committee to take issue with the park. “If it gets to be a contest between the counties and the park, we should drop out,” he said. “We don’t have a bad relationship with the park.”
Mr. McCarthy said Adelphia Cablevision had provided cable service to Chester Gap customers but wouldn’t provide it to other areas of the county until the main lines are complete. He said the company still expects to have the system completed by December, 1993.
Mr. McCarthy also reported that building inspector Richie Van Burke is making more inspections and has been authorized to work overtinie. Mr. Burke is paid to work four days a week, and on that schedule he has fallen behind in making inspections and in getting recertified in some areas.
Mr. McCarthy said the increased permit fees will cover the additional time.
The supervisors decided not to publish a list of delinquent taxes since the amounts are lower than usual.
The supervisors will eat lunch at the elementary school next month and tour the school before starting their December meeting.
