Washington and Flint Hill resilents with 675 exchanges now have L-911 service, County Administrator ohn McCarthy told the Board of supervisors at their meeting last Wednesday.
The meeting the week before with epresentatives of Bell Atlantic, sprint/Centel, and the State Corporation Commission did not esoive anything, he said.
However, with a system like :aller ID and the computer data base, he dispatch center can check out the ocation of calls coming from 987 exchanges, Mr. McCarthy explained.
He said if the county provides the Culpeper dispatch center with a similar system so Culpeper County dispatchers can check their data base for incoming calls, Bell Atlantic may be willing to turn Rappahannock customers with Culpeper numbers on. However, the company still insists that 95 percent of the patrons must approve, Mr. McCarthy said. So the county will bear the expense of sending out cards to all Bell Atlantic customers asking them to send them to Bell Atlantic giving their E-911 addresses.
Of the Bell Atlantic and SCC representatives, Mr. McCarthy said, “They were immune to reason from our point of view.”
The board approved a resolution to have VDOT take Blue Ridge Avenue in Chester Gap taken into the state’s secondary road system. The road was always intended to be a state road, but it was built as a private subdivision road. Several years worth of funds for “rural additions” have been committed to the project. There has always been a 50-foot right-of-way, but it was necessary for landowners to sign off on additional drainage easements. Tony Dade, who worked hard in getting the easements, was there for the vote.
The supervisors have approved other rural additions, and as funds become available and easements are sucured, they will gradually be added also.
Mr. McCarthy reported that one more inspection is needed before the county can begin using the new cell at the landfill. The county has been able to continue using the old cell, but Mr. McCarthy said he expected th| state to require that some of the trash piled there be moved to the new cell. The ramp for the scales if being constructed, he reported. The county will begin enforcing a $43 per ton tipping fee for commercial haulers and will transfer a like amount from the general fund to an enterprise fund to pay off the bonds for construction of the new cell for each ton moved from the dumpsters.
The board approved turning over the old vehicle used by the building inspector to the Water and Sewer Authority for the use of the Sperryville sewer plant operator for trips from Sperryville to the schools and to the Town of Washington.
