Recreation in Roanoke County. Chairman Johnson advised Mr. Oyler that she resent
ed the threat implied in the Carrnittee's letter that if their request were not
included on the November ballot they would work for the referendum's defeat and
further advised she could not consider additional recreation facilities a top
priority item, knowing how badly a jail and other facilities are needed. Mr.
Oyler said he thought the various items that will be included in the bond refer-
endum should be listed separately on the ballot so the County citizens and not
the Supervisors could decide what they want money used for. Supervisor Dodson
asked the County Executive how much the real estate tax rate would have to be
increased to payoff $3,000,000 over a twenty-year period. He was advised that

an increase of 10~ to 15~ would be required. Mr. J. D. Seneff advised it was
not the intent of the Recreation Cc:muittee to force the Board of Supervisors to
put the additional request on the ballot. He apologized for the unfortunate
wording of their letter and asked if his group could meet with the Board about
their request. Chairman Johnson agreed to this request.
Supervisor Dodson moved that the Recreation Canmittee's conmunication be
received and filed and that it be considered when the final decision is being
made on what is to be included on the ballot. Upon a voice vote, this motion
was adopted by the follCMing recorded vote:

Mr. Lowell Gobble, Extension Agent, read from several publications and advised
the Supervisors of the benefits to citizens, builders, developers, etc., if such a
map were available and urged the Board to reconsider its previous action. Mrs.
Johnson asked Mr. Gobble if the VPI School of Geology could not do the v.nrk of
preparing such a map. Mr. Gobble stated that this school has prepared maps showing
what is underground, but nothing about soilds. At present there are only two people
at VPI, one of whan is part-time, who would be qualified for such a survey. The
County Planner stated that he has worked for other localities which have soil
classification information and it is valuable to planning ccmnissions, planners,
planning consultants, private citizens, developers and that it serves to protect,
not control. Supervisor Myers repeated the objections he had made at the previous
meeting and stated he did not feel a soil survey v.nuld benefit Roanoke County.
