have meals five days a week and* Rappahannock's seniors only have three ’ meals a week.
She noted that Rappahannock con* tributed more per capita to the CSB thari any of the other counties in the planning, district except Fauquier. She asked who, pays for heat at the other sites, since pri - vate fund-raising is responsible for the utilities at Rappahannock's new Senior Center.
She also said it was only due to efforts in the community, not th$ Community Services Board, that this, new site was being made available.'
"I would also like to know why our seniors were bused from pillar to post,? Mrs. Sloane said. "Since we’re paying more than Madison and we receive fewer services, I'd like to know how come?" she said.
Mr. Duncan said this disparity would disappear as the other counties? had been asked to contribute more? while the board had not requested an' increase from Rappahannock. Mr$. 1 Johnson said there are many service^ ; provided by the Community Services Board in addition to services to seniors., "We’re getting more services than actu-* ally we're paying for," she said.
Mr. Duncan promised to provide' answers to Mrs. Sloane's questions. •?
He had actually come to the meeting to seek approval from the Board c$f Supervisors for a resolution allowing the CSB to borrow money to purchase a, building for offices and a centralized* kitchen.
He presented the supervisors with a resolution approving borrowing up to $2.1 million to purchase-and renovate a 25,500 square-foot building outside Culpeper on Route 666.
He said the building was a former | restaurant with office space and a com- 1 mercial kitchen "side by side. We hap- ] pen to need those things," he added.
Mr. Duncan said the debt service for the building would be $150,000 per year, and the CSB has been paying that much in rent. The agreement would not obligate Rappahannock County or any of the counties to pay the debt which would be secured by a note on the building itself.
The CSB has been renting space in the old Culpeper Hotel on Main Street. Mr. Duncan said the space is not adequate, and except for the ground floor not handicapped accessible. In addition, he said the building is cited by the fire marshal for non-compliance.
Jackson District representative Ron Frazier asked if the other boards of supervisors had approved the resolution. Mr. Duncan said it had been presented to all the other boards except Orange but had not been approved by any of them yet. •
Mr. Frazier asked if they had corrsidered sharing space with the Planning District Commission and Emergency Medical Services.
Mr. Duncan said some sharing might be possible but the CSB would need almost all the space.
Piedmont District representative • Charles K. "Pete" Estes made a motion to table the resolution until the: . December meeting, and that passed unanimously.
