Mr. Hodge advised that at the August 23 meeting, the
Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution to apply for $3.2

updated alternatives for funding the remaining $8.6 million of
immediate school needs and the estimated cost of $19,900,000 for
the proposed new Cave Spring High School. Staff offered three
alternatives: (1) authorize application for the Spring 1995 VPSA
bond sale in the amount of $10,100,000 which includes the schools
immediate needs and funds for architectural and engineering work
for the new high school; (2) authorize application for the Spring
1995 VPSA bond sale in the amount of $28,650,000 which includes
the immediate school needs and funding for the new high school;
or (3) approve a referendum to be placed on the November 1995

high school. Mr. Hodge advised that the combined County and
School undesignated year end surplus of $700,000 could be set

recommended that the Board authorize application for the Spring
1995 VPSA bond sale of $10,100,000.
Dr. Deanna Gordon, School Superintendent, was present
and advised that she supported the staff recommendation.
Jim McAden, 5771 Grandin Road Extension, spoke on
behalf of a group supporting construction of a new Cave Spring
High School. He said the group felt that the staff
recommendation was a good compromise.

for architectural and engineering studies was too high, and did
not support the inclusion of $4 million for major renovations,
and for those reasons, he would not support the staff
recommendation.

Mr. Compton reported that the proposed amendment would
eliminate the filing of a vehicle tax return by January 31 of

based on direct and indirect costs, a yearly fee analysis and a
survey of programs in surrounding areas. This would allow for
the development of integrated and intergenerational programs at a
fair, reasonable and simple pricing structure. Mr. Haislip
explained that there would be no user fees for county sanctioned
youth athletic activities, and that Senior citizen and
Therapeutic programs will continue to be subsidized. Mr. Haislip
further requested that any revenue generated over 100% of the
direct costs be returned to the department to fund existing
programs and improvements.
Supervisor Eddy advised that he felt that fees should
be set by public policy of the Board of Supervisors during the
budget and therefore could not support the proposed changes
