Council was held in the Council Chambers, Leesburg, Virginia, on July 27, 1966 , the meeting being called to order with a prayer by Mayor Rollins. Those present were : Councilmen C. A. English Cole, C. Maloy Fishback, Maurice R. Lowenbach, Jr. , Walter F. Murray, Robert A. Orr and John W. Pumphrey. Also present were Town Manager James W. Ritter , Jr. and Town Attorney George M. Martin. The Minutes of the Public Hearing of July 7, 1966 and the Regular Meeting of July 13, 1966 were approved with general consent. Town Manager Ritter reported the following: (1) The amount of 36,667.50 included in Item 1 on the Agenda consists of placing a jet seal on 500 feet of each end of the runway at the Airport, also a jet seal on the taxiway and apron, plus rolling the runway and all as- phalt surfaces for a period of 60 hours. This price was secured from Tri- County Asphalt Co. Since that time , he said he had gotten another idea as to how to do this work. Rather than treating the runway and taxiway, a jet seal would be put on the apron only. This should be done this summer. Tri-County gave a price of 33,166.75 to do this work, which includes rolling the runway. Another price was secured from Perry Engineering today on doing this amount of work, their price being $3 ,279.00. There are 10,667 square yards on the apron and it would cost about 22 cents per square yard for the sealing. He would recommend that we go ahead with the sealing of the apron only and rolling all asphalt sur- faces. (2) Regarding the water situation, other dommunities are having problems with water. So far , we are in fairly good shape as far as we can tell. The Paxton Well level is still at 78 feet, which was the sane reading as in 1963 when it was put into operation. There is no way to check the water level in the other wells used by the Town. (3) The Phillips-Nickels Well is developing. The walls of the pump house are going up. He talked to the pump manufacturer today and he expects the pump to be in by the middle of next week. VEPCO is going ahead with the service line. (4) Last night he attended the Loudoun County Planning Commission meet- ing, when the Town 's application for a commission permit for the portion of the sewage facilities to be outside the corporate limits was discussed. The Commission members asked a lot of questions and said they would like to see the plans. They took no action at the meeting last night. Mr. Ritter said he had talked with Mr. Williams today and the preliminary plans on the new plant should be ready in about a month. (5) A study has been made by Mr. Forbes, along with members of the Water • Department , during the past week of all fire hydrants in the Town. We are in fairly good shape, although there are a number of hydrants which should be re- placed. There are at least 25 that are bad, these are the old ones which were in the original installation. This matter will be discussed at the Utility Committee meeting. (6) Mr. Kestner has written regarding the Route 15 project and has recom- mended that a project number be assigned and reports that he has sent the plans prepared by Mr. Phillips on to Richmond. (7) The FAA Grant Agreement on the Taxiway Extension was received today and there is a resolution before the Council tonight authorizing the Town Manager to sign this Agreement on behalf of the Town. The 60-day period to execute the contract with E. E. Lyons Construction Co. is up on August 7th, leaving only 10 days in which to execute this contract. There is also a resolution regard- ing this before you tonight. Mayor Rollins stated that during the present dry spell, he feels that a lot of people have violated good conduct by burning trash intentionally, which is a great risk to their own property and to that of their neighbors. He asked that the press emphasize that such burning not be done. Mayor Rollins stated that there were 4 vacancies on the Board of Architec- t* tural Review and that he had reappointed Mrs. Osborne , I-rs. DeLashmutt and Mr. Brownrigg to a three-year term and had atpointed Mr. Dick A. Richards as the fourth member to replace Er. Sweney. A letter of acceptance from Mr. Richards is hereby placed in the records. 247 MINUTES OF JULY 27, 1966 MEETING. Councilman Lowenbach remarked that , while Leesburg does not have a press- ing water problem, he believes that we should have a voluntary curtailment of any unnecessary use of water. He reminded that the State representative of the Geological Society who located the well at the Paxton Home told Council that when you have a drought , you suffer for 6 months,. and it is not known what could possibly happen several months from now. Therefore, he urged a voluntary curtailment of unnecessary use of water. 1 Councilman Pumphrey inquired about a fire hydrant on E. Royal Street which he understands is located in the Cullen 's yard. Mr. Forbes reported that this- hydrant is on the east side of an alleyway on Royal Street and is practically` 1 covered by a plant. , Mr. George Hammerly, Chairman of the Airport Commission, reported that the Commission recommends that the Performance Bond for Chantilly Aviation be - reduced to 417,500 (five times the annual rental ) , and that verbal acauiescense has been secured from Chantilly. However, the Board of Directors has not yet met and they have asked that we delay formal action on this matter until the next meeting. Upon motion of Councilman Lowenbach, seconded by Councilman Orr , Council voted by a roll call vote of 6 to 1 , Councilman Cole voting No , that the Chantilly Performance Bond be reduced to $17,500, instead of the 435,000 as originally stated in the Lease between Chantilly and the Town of Leesburg. Mr. 00 Hammerly said he thought the Bond should be redrawn by Mr. Martin, including a In provision whereby Chantilly would be released from responsibility should the = Airport be re-leased, and then presented to Council at the next meeting. 0 U Mayor Rollins said that he had written I:r. Hammerly regarding a letter from Stirling Harrison concerning aircraft traveling too low over Mr. Stowers' property. ICr. Hammerly said that , upon receipt of the first information regard- ing this matter , Mr. Stowers was asked to get information regarding these planes. One belonged to the FAA, the other two were unidentifiable. There has been one other complaint and that plane could not be identified. Upon receipt of the letter that apparently prompted the Mayor 's letter of July 19, Mr. Hammerly said they took up this matter with the FAA and asked them what the Town's position would be in representing the Airport. Mr. Hammerly explained that the runway 111is about 1 mile from Mr. Stowers ' house and 2 miles from the center of Town; this was considered when the Airport was planned. He explained the procedure that the Airport has set up for planes taking off from the Airport, which re- quires that no plane fly over private property unless at least 1 ,000 feet in the air, however , there is no control over the plane when it takes off. He said that the Town has no responsibility for maintaining the procedure when a plane leaves the Airport, but if anyone repeatedly conducts himself in an im- proper way, then it is investigated. The way a plane is flown is the responsi- bility of the individual pilot and he has to establish who he is; there is no contact made from the field except in an advisory capacity. Mr. Hammerly said that the Torn, in the opinion of the Airport Commission and the FAA, is not re- sponsible for the conduct of the airplane. Mr. Stowers would have recourse towards the pilot or towards the owner of the aircraft. He said that the Commission has not been approached by Mr. Stowers, but he feels sure that a plane gets low over his house at times. It is impossible to control this and the pilot is liable. However, he said he thinks this is relatively infrequent. Mr. Stowers ' house is just about in line with the runway and changing the traffic pattern would not make any difference. Mr. Hammerly went on to say that the prescribed traffic pat= . , tern is posted on the bulletin board at the Airport and that all students should be tauht this. He said he believed this is done, but occasionally a student might get low. Mayor Rollins asked what recourse iLr. Stowers would have if he identified a pilot who was flying too low over his house. Mr. Hammerly said the pilot could be reprimanded by the FAA to the extent of being grounded, los- ing his license and being fined. Mr. Hammerly also said that the FAA establishes the pattern for all uncontrolled airports and for all pilots, including commercial pilots. Basically, they are all the same and they are published in the Airmen 's Guide, which all pilots should read. All pilots should also look at the ground to see ii a pattern is set forth on the ground. Mr. Hammerly said this is done at Godfrey Field and pointed out on a map just how this is done. He said that this _pattern was decided on by the FAA because of extensive glider operations being carried on at the field, and for many other reasons. He said that it is L good practice for a pilot to call the unicorn when he is about 10 miles or so froy; the field and find out what is going on down below, however , this is purely ad-" visory, it does not clear a pilot to land. Councilman Fishback remarked that he thought this should be the responsibility of the pilot, not of the owner of the Airport. Councilman Cole said that recently Mr. Stowers said a gliaer landed x, 4 8 MINUTES OF JULY 27, 1966 MEETING. • who the pilot was. in his field and he asked Mr. Hammerly if he knew iaxxhamxiExxixntxha3angr. Mr. Hammerly said it belonged to him and that it was well east of air. Stowers ' house when it passed over. He said it is standard procedure with gliders and that they are landed in fields all over the country. The owner had ample liability insurance in case of any trouble. Mr . Hammerly said he thought these battles should be handled by the Airport Commission, however, he said he believed con- . tractual matters should come to the Council to be signed. Town Attorney Martin reported that he and Mr. Hammerly had gone over the Dulles International Aircraft Lease and made some changes. Mr. Hammerly said these are very minor changes and he believes they might strengthen__Chantilly's lease a little. Mayor Rollins said he thought this lease should be prepared - with the recommended changes and then presented to Council for action and asked that it be discussed at the next session oI' the Laws 8; Administration Committee. Mr. Hammerly said Mr. Cowles says he is ready to sign tonight, that he has provided the required financial information. He introduced Iir. R. D. Powell , who will be the Manager of their operation here if they get the lease. Mayor Rollins said a plat would have to be presented before this can be advertised in the paper and that this will be taken up at the next session of Council, then if it is approved, it will be advertised. Mr. Hammerly expressed the desire of the Airport Commission that some action be taken tonight on the FAA Grant Agreement for the Taxiway Extension and the . awarding of the contract to the E. E. Lyons Construction Company. Mayor Rollins asked Council 's wishes on this matter. Upon motion of Councilman Orr , seconded by Councilman Lowenbach, and there being no objection to Council considering this matter tonight , Council voted by roll call vote of 6 to 1 abstention, that being Councilman Cole, to adopt the following resolution : • BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Leesburg: 1.

Upon motion of Mayor Rollins, seconded by Councilman Murray, council voted by unanimous roll call vote that the Town Manager be authorized to have the blacktop portions of the Airport rolled and sealed where it is determined necessary by Mr. Ritter and the Airport Engineer , said authorization not •to exceed the sum of $3,000.00.
