A regular meeting of the Leesburg Town Council was held in the Council Cham- bers, 12 W. Loudoun Street, Leesburg, Virginia, on November 22, 1967 at 7:30 P.M. • The meeting was called to order by the Mayor, with prayer by Councilman Orr. Those present were Mayor Kenneth B. Rollins, Councilmen C. Maloy Fishback, G. Dewey Hill, Frederick R. Howard, Walter F. Murray, Robert A. Orr and John W. Pum- phrey; also Town- Manager James W. Ritter , Jr. and Town Attorney George M. Martin. The Minutes of the meeting of November 8, 1967 were approved as written. Mr. George M. Kline was present , along with Mr. William Chamberlin, and ad- dressed Council regarding the problem he is at present faced with on Mayfair Subdivision. Mr. Chamberlin explained to Council that the phrase "that not more than one principal building shall be permitted on' any residential lot show on the plat , etc." appears on the final plat and this note has caused some prob lem for Mr. Kline. ' Mr. Kline said that , when this plat was originally presented to the Council and the Planning Commission, he believed the Subdivision Ordinance could be reworked to allow the sale of these building$ in hopes that eventually the Ordinance would be reworded so that they could sell half of the house and the lot. With this note on the plat, the title is clouded to an extent that construc- tion money is being withheld , and he asked if Council could do anything to clear up this situation temporarily until the Ordinance can be reworked. Town Attorney Martin said that he understands Mr. Kline cannot get a loan and that he is in a real bind since he has already started some construction. He said it is his im- pression that a conflict exists between one section and another of the Subdivi- sion Ordinance. He said the lender will not make the loan because, with this cloud on the title, the only way the houses could be sold would be as double houses. Mr. Kline pointed out that the selling phase is no problem, but the con- struction phase is.. Mr. Forbes said this is a definite requirement and, if it is changed, it will have to go through the normal amendment procedure , before both the Planning Commission and the Council and Public Hearings by both bodies. In answer to.-Mr. Martin's question as to whether he believed the Ordinance should be amended, Mr. Forbes said he did. Mr. Conroy, representing the law firm who is examining the title for the Security Bank in Falls Church for the construction loan, stated that he had found this notation on the plat. He said the Bank had a request for six construction loans, .contemplating six separate dwellings, but it was found that there were . only -three. lots, with the restriction against resubdivision:. Hesaid this is an impossible situation. from a title .examiner 's standpoint. He .said. that the Bank has said .that they would not allow any construction draws until some pro- vision is made so that these three lots can be resubdivided. Further discussion of this matter followed, during which time Mr. Forbes pointed out that there is a notation in the minutes of the Planning Commission that he personally brought to Mr. Kline 's attention the fact that these double houses would have to be sold as one building. Mr. Conroy said he would have to tell the Bank that these could be sold only as double houses and it would then be up to the Bank to lend with this knowledge and to take this business risk. Upon motion of Councilman Hill, seconded by Councilman Orr, Council voted unanimously that the Mayfair Subdivision problem be referred to the Planning Commission. Mr. Alfred diZerega appeared, to ask that Council give its approval to the Performance Bond for Section 1-B of Rock Spring Subdivision. Mr. Ritter' pointed out. that this bond has been approved by Town Attorney George Martin and' that it is for six lots. Upon motion of Councilman Murray , seconded by Councilman Orr, the following Performance Bond was unanimously approved: Know All Men By These Presents : That we Alfred diZerega, III , Agnes D.

(2) $2,000 was authorized earlier by Council for the asphalt on Liberty and Wirt Streets. The actual cost, from Tri-County Asphalt 's bill, is less than the authorized amount. (3) The appropriation to Perry Engineering is the actual cost -of rock exca- vation on the 8" water line on Rt. 7 East @$15.00 a yard. (4) It is hoped that the electrical work can be done at the Town Shop for $1,000.00, this being an estimate. He explained that a larger service line is to be put into the building, which is work that should be done anyway. This will include the cost of flood lights for emergency work at the Shop. (5) He reported that the Telephone Company has agreed to put up the Christ- mas lights at no cost to the Town, and the request to the Power Company for this work should be passed tonight. He explained the formula used by the Power Com- pany for the billing of electric energy and said that it should run about $1.50 per day, or approximately $35.00 for the electricity. (6) He pointed out that the Table 7 before the Council members is a revised table, a part of the Burns and McDonnell Report. Mr. Rollins said he would like to have a meeting of the Council as a whole after the regular meeting. Councilman Hill asked if there is anything new on the Dog Ordinance and cited instances of dogs biting children on the Catoctin Elementary School Playground. Councilman Orr said a proposed Dog Ordinance would be presented soon. • . dJi�s 138 MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 22, 1967 MEETING. . Mr. Hill also said he thought the Council might be interested in what type of snow plan has been worked out. Mr. Ritter explained that we have two plows for two trucks and that these are ready to go , it would probably take 15 or 20 minutes to mount the plows on the trucks.. The road grader will be used on the primary streets. We also. have a spreader which will be used for chemicals, this is mounted on-one truck and is ready to go. We have 450 bags of salt, also small aggregate and sand is stocked for use. The men are lined up and know which one will operate which truck and what he. is. supposed to do If it starts snowing during the night, the Police have been notified that . the man on duty will notify Mr. Weatherholtz when the snow is 2 inches deep or when ice be- comes dangerous. If they cannot reach -Mr. Weatherholtz, they. will call Mr. Ramaley or him (Mr. Ritter ) . He said they have stand-bys for truck drivers. They would take the two primary streets first and then the more important secon dary streets. Councilman Murray asked if Mr. Ritter thinks it advisable to lin up with a commercial operator in case we run into something like we had two years ago. Mr. Ritter said he would line this up with Tri-County, Perry Engi- neering or Virginia Trap Rock. • Councilman Howard said that , in talking about one-way streets, he was won- dering if the. block of Cornwall Street between King and Wirt (the usual street taken to the Hospital) should not deserve some consideration. Mayor Rollins said he has been badgered by letters concerning a bond found by a man in Florida, said bond being a legal obligation by the Town, payable in 1902 in the amount of $500, secured by the old Town Hall. He said their inquiry is whether the Town is obligated to pay this money. Town Attorney Martin said • the statute of limitations is 10 years and this bond says payable in 15 years. Upon motion of Councilman Murray, seconded by Councilman Fishback, Council voted unanimously that this be referred to the Town Attorney to check out these matters. Mayor Rollins pointed out that, regarding the copy of a letter from the Planning Commission on the Phillips tract, Mr. Phillips will appear before the Council on December 13th to ask the Council to rezone this. tract of land. Mayor Rollins stated that, at the last session of Council , it was made clear to the Airport lessees that their corporate matters would be gotten in order or Council would consider cancellation of the lease. Since that time, there have been meetings held and he asked that Councilman Murray inform the Council what has taken place. Mr. Murray said that a meeting of the committee, Mr. Colgan, Mr. VanGulick, Mr. Cowles and Mr. Hyde was held this past Friday. At this meeting, the possibility of a separate corporation formed by Mr. Colgan and Mr. Cowles was discussed , this corporation to take over for the duration of the Chantilly Lease at a fixed sum of $1,000 per month and, from this fee, the Town would- be paid their rent (approximately $300.00). One of the most attractive portions of this arrangement would be that the remainder of this $1 ,000 would be placed in an account for the purpose of taking care of the, creditors, and this sounded attractive to the committee. He said that he believes we have somewhat of an obligation to insure that any agreements at the Airport should make provi- vision for the payment of the Bank notes, etc. It was hoped that Mr. Zebley and other stockholders. would agree to this and, after the Town Attorney had gone over it, it would be presented to the Council tonight. Mr. Frank Hyde, speaking for Mr. VanGulick said that Mr. Martin, has received a copy of the proposed agreement between Colgan and DIAC (Dulles International Aircraft Corporation) and the Town of Leesburg, the import of this agreement be- ing that Chantilly will assign its Airport Lease to Colgan and DIAC at the figure of $1,000 per month for the unexpired term of the, Lease ; that Colgan (the operator) would pay the Town and pay over the balance of the $1,000 to Chantilly. The Town, in substance, is asked to approve the transfer of the lease. He pointed out, however, that there are other provisions having to do with the signing of this proposed lease by. Mr. VanGulick and Mr. Zebley, both individually and as stockholders and by the executive officer of the corporation. He said he did not participate in the negotiation of this contract , but he does not believe that the Town would or should be a party to the lease , it involves a proposed transfer of Chantilly 's lease to another group and the Town would reserve the right of prior approval of arq. assignment. The Town would give its, approval to Mr. Colgan and his associate 7 ssignees. As to the handling of the money, this should not be a part of the lease , this is an internal matter of the corporation. He said that the Town is asked to give its approval tonight to the transfer of the Airport Lease from Chantilly to Colgan and his associates under the terms of the agreement, based on this proposal which has been circulated , but which has some details yet to be worked out. 139 MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 22, 1967 MEETING. • Mr. Colgan said that where the funds are deposited does not make any dif- ference to them, but it was their idea that these funds would be put in escrow until Mr. Zebley and Mr. VanGulick could decide what they wanted to do -with them. Mr. VanGulick said this could result in the- funds not being paid. Mr. Hyde reiterated that Mr. Colgan's agreement would be with Chantilly Aviation, that the internal difficulties did not concern the Town or Colgan. He said it was agreed that some disinterested party should be brought in to carry out the agreement that was roughed out quite a while ago and he was selected, but he said he has not been able to bring the parties together. Mr. Zebley said he has not been a party to the meetings, - but said that he has seen this agreement and he is here tonight to do whatever the Town feels is necessary to preserve Chantilly 's lease. He read a very lengthy statement concerning what has transpired in the past and relating his feelings. He asked Council members to comment on the services they• have seen out at the Airport. Councilman Hill made several comments. • Councilman Murray asked Mr. Zebley if he is opposed to this offer, that his statement says, in essence, that this agreement cannot be carried out. He asked Mr. Zebley if he would be willing to accept a lease of this type, payable ,q to the Town, out of which the- Town's rent would be paid and the remainder to go C4 towards debts and the construction of T-hangars over a period of time and in N such numbers as might be needed. Mr. Zebley said Yes, on one condition, that Crb the present creditors of Chantilly could. not tie him up in lawsuits. Under these circumstances, he said he would have an excellent man who would come in. O Councilman Murray asked Mr. VanGulick if he would accept an agreement by Mr. Zebley under the same terms as the Colgan-DIAC agreement. Mr. VanGulick said - he would have to see the agreement and would like to know how the creditors • would be paid. He said he could not understand why Mr. Zebley thinks Mr. Col- gan and Mr. Cowles cannot make a go out of it if he can, after he lost so much money. • Councilman Murray said there would have to be very strict rules, and that he thinks the creditors are due their day in Court too. ' Mr. VanGulick said he thinks this agreement is a solution, perhaps not as desirable as they had, but if we don't accept it, we don 't know that Mr. Zebley will come up with something better. He said he had a year to do something and he thinks the time is now, in fact, it was a long time ago. Mr. Zebley said he was stalling in order to give Mr. Colgan time to evaluate Godfrey Field. He said this split operation really means that you are essentially putting in two operators. He would propose to put in an integrated proposition. He said that if he could be assured that there was "no can of worms left", there would be any number of operators interested. There were many spectators present and Councilman Hill asked if some of them would like to say a few words. Mr. Max Clark stated that when anyone tries to borrow money to build T-hangars, the Banks won't touch it, they say the term of the lease is too short. He said.-he knows this has happened to both Chantilly and Blue Ridge. He said that he understands the T-hangars at Manassas were .put up by the Town. Mr. Colgan said they were , that the operator gets the rent and pays the Town 10% of the construction cost. Mr. Clark said the Town could build the hangars and make money. Councilman Hill said: he would .like to go back. to the beginning of this lease. He said that he would assume that , when it. was originally advertised, everything was in order. He asked how long this continuity went along and when the trouble started to develop. Mr. VanGulick said it began when Mr. Zebley became a stockholder. Mr. Hyde said the Town has nothing to do with the in- ternal affairs of the stockholders. Mr. Cowles addressed Council, stating that Dulles International Aircraft is trying to get approval to build a hangar, he said they would Prefer to work this out with somebody else, rather than get into the middle of this lease. He said Mr. Colgan would operate the Airport and sell and train, and that Dulles would do the maintenance work, they would help each other and the Town. He said .that. both.Mr. VanGulick and Mr. Zebley said .they wanted to make, sure that the money would go to the creditors and that was the reason for incorporating this into the agreement. He said they are prepared to move in as soon as every- one is agreeable and that they believe the joint operation will be beneficial to the Town. Councilman Murray said he would like to have a resolution passed by Chan- tilly's Board of Directors brought before this Council, to which everybody agrees. Mr. VanGulick said such a meeting has been held and this has been done. 140 MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 22, 1967 MEETING. . Mr. Beckman, attorney for Mr. Zebley, addressed Council , explaining Mr. Zeb- ley 's position in this matter. .Mayor Rollins and Councilman4Murray both said that the only thing Council . has to do is approve the transfer -of this lease. However , Mr. Murray still said he would like a resolution from the Board of Directors on this. Both Councilman _ Orr and Councilman Hill said there should be financial statements and a Per- formance Bond. Mr. Zebley said he would be agreeable at a Board of Directors meeting if he were held harmless from the existing Performance Bond. Both Mr. Cowles and Mr. Colgan said they would not hold harmless from the debts of Chan- tilly Aviation. . Town Attorney Martin said that the Town does not have to agree to sublease or to assign. Mr. Colgan stated at this time that this offer either has to be . accepted or rejected tonight. A recess was declared at this time and Council then resumed the meeting at 10:05 P.M. . Councilman Murray moved that Chantilly Aviation bring to this Council for approval at the next meeting an assignment between Chantilly Aviation and such other assignee as they may recommend to this Council. This motion was seconded by Councilman Pumphrey and discussion followed. Mr. Murray reiterated his feel- ing that he would like to see an official copy of the minutes of Chantilly that • they. held a Board of Directors meeting and the results of that meeting as it applies to this proposed assignment. Mayor Rollins said he thinks all we need is . an assignment from Chantilly to "X" and will the Town agree to this assignment. . . He said the same terms as the present Chantilly lease would apply; any other . agreements would be. between the other two parties. Councilman Murray said he thinks the new lessees should present the Bond and- financial statements. Mr. Fishback said these bonds would be required under the lease already in effect. . Mayor Rollins said Council would not be making the assignment, Chantilly has to - do that. Mr. Cowles said the proposition has been made and the question is whether Mr. Zebley will accept this agreement. Mr. Zebley's attorney said he is not in agreement, unless this is what everybody else wants. He said the only way to resolve it is now. Councilman Murray moved to amend his original motion that Chantilly bring to the first meeting in January an assignment between Chantilly Aviation and such other assignee as they may recommend. to this Council , at which time the Chantilly Aviation Corporation will have had time to negotiate the necessary administrative procedures, including the- presentation to the Council of a copy of the minutes of the meetings held by the Board of Directors and/or stockholders of the Chantilly Aviation Corporation. This amendment was seconded by Council- man Fishback. • Mr. Ritter pointed out that , while Mr. Colgan is on the field, we have full insurance, if he moves, we have none. Max Clark said that all gas would be hauled away this evening if Mr. Colgan will not be there in the morning. Councilman Murray asked Mr. Colgan and Mr. Cowles if they would continue to operate the Airport until January 10th, with the. understanding that, if such details of an assignment cannot be worked out , the Council would, at this meeting, pending the presentation. of the details thereof, look favorably upon such an as- signment. Mr. Cowles said they would. like to work out something but , if the January meeting did not bear fruit, they would like some assurance that , if there is going to be a cancellation of the lease, they would be able to continue there until such time as this could be worked out. At• this time, Mr. Colgan and Mr. Cowles were given time to discuss this mat- ter and other business was transacted by the Council, as follows: On motion of Councilman Orr , seconded by Councilman Pumphrey, the follow- ing resolution was unanimously adopted : • BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Leesburg, that the following appropriations be made: • $1,597.50 - William B.

(2) We will operate at the Airport at the pleasure of the Council, but not under the current situation. We feel that we have made the best offer that we can make. Whether. it- is made tonight or later, we don't see .where any delay ' will -help the creditors. We don' t anticipate that two months ,will make any dif- ference in the corporate difficulties. We will not be willing to .continue under the current: situation. If Chantilly will accept this, we will go ahead. At any , time you would like us to assist, we will do it, but not with Chantilly. A Mr. Freeman addressed Council at this time. He said he was the operator of a field at College Park, Maryland. He said that if the lease is cancelled, he and other members of his corporation would be interested in bidding on this lease. Mr. Zebley proposed that the lease be assigned to a corporation which he would form and operate until the situation can be resolved. Mayor Rollins asked Mr. Zebley what he would do if Colgan pulled out tomorrow. He said he had not been in an operating position out there. Mayor Rollins repeated his question. Mr. Zebley said that he would propose that his aircraft be used to meet the schedule. Mayor Rollins asked him if he would have the tanks filled with gas. He said notion Thursday, but he would expect the inventory to be replaced. Mr. Zebley again asked that Council consider assigning of a lease to him. Mr. VanGulick said Mr. Zebley 's statement was an additional way to defraud and delay. Mr. Zebley 's attorney said that Mr. Zebley was operating until he was excluded from the field and that was by the presence of a Town Policeman. Hesaid that he felt that the actions taken here keep Mr. Zebley off the field. He said he feels that the Town has some responsibility to Mr. Zebley and must give him protection. He asked that the record show that Mr. Zebley has not refused to go along with this proposal or any other proposal. At this time a roll call vote of 6 to 1 showed the foregoing amendment to Mr. Murray 's motion to be adopted , with Mayor Rollins voting against it. The motion, as amended , and being as follows, was then defeated by a 6 to 1 roll call vote , with Councilman Murray voting for it : That Chantilly Aviation bring to this Council for approval at the first meeting in January an assignment between Chantilly Aviation and such other assignee as they may recommend to this Council, at which time the Chantilly Aviation Corporation will have had time to negotiate the neces- sary administrative procedures, including the presentation to the Council of a copy of the minutes of the meetings held by the Board of Directors and/or stockholders of the Chantilly Aviation Corporation. On motion of Mayor Rollins, seconded by Councilman Pumphrey,_ the follow- ing resolution was unanimously adopted by roll call vote: BE IT RESOLVED that the Council for the Town of Leesburg hereby officially notify Chantilly Aviation, Inc. that they shall remedy their default on ' Section 11(a) , Section 11 (b) and Section 6 of the Lease, pursuant to Sec- tion 20(g) of the Lease , and that their failure to correct these deficien- cies shall result in the cancellation of this lease at the expiration of 15 days. - 14.3 MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 22, 1967 MEETING. Mayor Rollins also said that he does not want to see the Police force of this Town entering into this in any way. Mr. Ritter pointed out that the policeman was not acting as an officer ,, he was working for Mr. VanGulick as. a strong-arm man. Mr. VanGulick said he was acting as a witness. Mr. Zebley re-entered his plea that the lease be transferred to a company formed by him. Councilman Murray strongly urged that Mr. Zebley go back to Mr. VanGulick and work out some agreement. Mr. Hyde urged once again that the Council either Vote down or approve this transfer. If it is approved, they are willing to work_out .the details. . - Mayor Rollins asked informally if members of Council would go along with this assignment. All but Councilman Hill said "Yes."
