He is a frequent patron of the library and if anything he would like to see more hours during the week and on Sunday. He also agrees with Mr. Bedrosian in that any money that is spent on that should be found in other areas of the budget that could be cut. He appreciates Mr. Bedrosian pointing out that the debt of the County has occurred over the years and built up is in excess of $200 million and each year the debt should decrease rather than increase.

The motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Supervisors Moore, Bedrosian, Church, Peters, McNamara NAYS: None 1. General Fund Unappropriated Balance 2. Capital Reserves 3. Reserve for Board Contingency July 8, 2014 553 IN RE: REPORTS AND INQUIRIES OF BOARD MEMBERS Supervisor Peters advised that he had brought up at the July 1, 2014, meeting to make a motion to reconsider Corporate Property Services and would like to do so at this time. Chairman McNamara advised the motion is in order and debatable. He further emphasized that the Board would be voting on whether or not to reconsider the Chick-fil-A rezoning. If the motion passes, the reconsideration would occur at the second meeting in August, which allows for the public notices to be made. Supervisor Church inquired if it would be more appropriate to consider this at the add to or change agenda item. He does not ever remember voting on anything under reports and inquiries of Board member. Chairman McNamara explained a motion for reconsideration is in order at any point of the meeting where the person who is asking for reconsideration has the floor. He further added Supervisor Peters had inquired where it would be appropriate and this seemed to be a reasonable place. Supervisor Bedrosian asked for clarification is that all this means is Supervisor Peters wants to reconsider his vote, it is not assumed the Board all wants to vote again. Things may change between now and then, which may provide something. If there is nothing new, he would stay with his same vote. Chairman McNamara confirmed it is not making a decision on the underlying motion. Supervisor Church asked if this would be a public hearing with Chairman McNamara responding in the affirmation. The motion to reconsider the petition of Corporate Property Services was approved by the following roll call vote: AYES: Supervisors Moore, Bedrosian, Church, Peters, McNamara NAY: None Chairman McNamara then asked the Clerk to see that this item is placed on the agenda with the proper notices for the second meeting in August. Supervisor Bedrosian stated that he wanted to advise Mr. Rosenthal that the debt has been around $200 million, but he wants to make sure that as of June 30, 2014 is $181,000, because this is very important to him. This is without the project we are undergoing in Glenvar, which will add another $20 million. When that is done in the fall, it will add another $20 million and we are getting dangerous close to $200 million. The only reason for bringing this up is that this is a very important issue to him, the debt, because he cannot reiterate it enough that when you have a debt that size there are consequences and a lot of it is the interest payments you must make on an annual basis. Just with quick math, $200 million roughly times three or four percent (3 or 4%) that the rates are now you will have anywhere between six or eight (6 or 8) million dollars every year on interest payments alone. When we try to find areas where we can 554 July 8, 2014 help citizens and really do things that governments should be doing six to eight (6 to 8) million dollars is a lot of money that is just being thrown away. He has always viewed that we should be driving the debt number down. If we do need short-term for an emergency, we have money, $30 to $40 million in these unappropriated funds, but if we do need money, we should pay it off very quickly because the interest payments alone do hurt us. Supervisor Church stated the community in Glenvar has been a long time waiting for some things to happen. Right now they have the dust, machines, they are coughing, but they are happy. Almost all of them are happy because we have a situation for the high school, fifty (50) years without anything being done. The Glenvar Library was about forty (40) years. The Glenvar Library was not even ADA sufficient; you could not get a wheelchair in the door. Things are taking shape; they do cost a lot of money. Route 11/460, in his opinion, has been on the books for thirty-five or forty (35 or 40) years and is finally nearing completion. Soon you will see a gateway to the Glenvar area in Western County; a new community with the roads widened, a new library there and the school will be finished in September of next year, weather permitting. It is a lot of things going on that takes a lot of money, but you have to plan and get in line. We have our CIP Committee. The Supervisor from Hollins mentioned the unappropriated balance and he believes it is more like $21 million. Our Board has normally asked for eleven percent (11 %). We are not poor, but we have to be prudent with our money. Dust, machines, but are happy. 50 years without anything being done. This will become a new gateway community. At 4:13 p.m. Chairman McNamara recessed to the 4t" floor for work session and closed meeting. IN RE: WORK SESSIONS 1.
