his many years of service .
A Certificate of Recognition for fifteen years of service on
the Council was presented to Mr. John W . Pumphrey at this time , with
Mayor Hill complimenting Mr. Pumphrey for his excellent judgment in
those years of service . Mr. Pumphrey said it had been a pleasure to

the past. He admonished the Council not to pass judgment on other
members too quickly.

It is noted here that the resolution recognizing Mr. Weatherholtz
for his service was adopted at the Council meeting of June 12 , 1974.
Mayor Hill then presented Certificates of Election to Councilmen
Newman, Rock and Bange, stating that he had also received one , these
coming from the Registrar 's Office. He then welcomed the new members
to their first regular session of Council, with the hope that this
Council will continue to work toward the benefit of the Town.
The Minutes of the regular meeting of June 12 , a special meet-
ing of June 19 and Public Hearings of June 24 and June 25 were ap-
proved, with one addition being made to those of the June 12 meet-
ing by Councilman Titus .
Mr. Norman Myers addressed Council , his purpose to discuss a
recreation center and dance hall on the former Izaak Walton property
just inside the corporate limits . He read a letter, which had been
sent to the Editor of the newspaper, stating that it was felt that
this is an ideal location for a recreation center for Leesburg. It
is proposed to hold three dances a week (Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day nights) and to make the building available for other public func-
tions. He has obtained a license and believed he had all the per-
mits needed. There followed questions concerning an ABC license,
the use of drugs , hours of dances and police protection for same.
Chief James M. Kidwell said that furnishing police (and he believed
there should be four (4) for each dance) would be a problem since
these men all have to be "special" police officers. Mr. Myers was
willing to p ffotaW rotection as long as the operation is profit
making . He t w th the ABC representative , who would like a
recommendation concerning these dances from the Council . Another
problem might be the curfew law, which requires that those under 18
be home by 11 :30 P.M. The question also arose as to whether he in-
tended to make use of the remainder of the property as picnic areas ,
etc . Mr. Myers said it would be available to the public during the
day, however, his present lease covers just the 11 acres around the
building . It was hoped that this might become a recreational park
for the people of Leesburg , however, he would have to hold dances
and other functions in order to make it a profitable venture - it
would not be a tax burden to the Town. There was further discus-
sion concerning various facets of this proposed operation. Mayor
Hill referred the matter to the Laws and Administration Committee
and asked Mr. Myers to be present for this meeting next Wednesday
night at 7 :30 if he so desires . Mayor Hill also asked that this
Committee consider a resolution concerning an ABC license for this
operation .
Town Manager Ritter reported as follows :
(1) He explained in detail the appropriations in Item 2 on the
Agenda .
(2) Item 8 on the Agenda should be continued - more time is
needed in order to work out the mechanics of these sections.
(3) Mr. Logan Jennings has asked that Item 14 be continued
until the next meeting .
4
MINUTES OF JULY 10 , 1974 MEETING.
(4) Item 17 consists of lowering water lines on Catoctin
Circle and parker Court, which lines are in the way of storm sewers
on the Route 7 Urban Project. This work must be done before the
contractor starts to work and this project was to be advertised for
bids today.
(5) Concerning Item 18, there are a number of manholes on this
33" outfall line that need sealing . It is impossible to arrive at a
cost at this time, and impracticable to ask for a bid. We have a
schedule of hourly costs on equipment and labor from Perry Engineer-
ing and cost control on this job would be to set a maximum amount.
(6) The junk cars at the intersection of Route 15 and Wirt Stree
should disappear very shortly . House of Lords is to have an auction
sale on July 27th to sell the land and everything on it.
(7) A check in the amount of $158,600 was received today from
Mr. Shor, representing availability fees for 61 water and sewer taps,
this being in accordance with the agreement and which was due on
June 1st .
(8) We received notice this week of a rate increase from VEP00.
Comparing past bills with the new rate, they will run anywhere from
twice as much to four times as much as what we are now paying . This
was not anticipated in the Budget .
(9) Mr. Chaves and Mr. Bozel met with the Highway Department
today on the problems at the Market Street and Loudoun Street inter-
section . They also met with the Highway Department on the Anne
Street drainage problem . Hopefully , the Highway Department will
come up with a recommendation and solution to both of these problems.
Councilman Rock said the Committee would like Item 9 passed over
without prejudice and returned to the Committee , this also meaning
to pass over the appointment of the Fire Marshal in Item 1 . This is
due to a couple of technical points that have come up and is no re-
flection on the person named. He also had substitution resolutions
for Items 4 and 19, to be read at the proper time .
Councilman Titus asked Mr. Wallace to comment on Item 3 , the jet
sealing of the Airport. Mr. Wallace said the Airport Committee is
hopeful to tie in the sealing and resurfacing of the runway and taxi-
way with the existing facilities , this to be done with at least 75
per cent Federal funds . Therefore , he urged Council not to appro-
priate this money and not to go ahead with the jet sealing . He also
said the Airport Committee is most anxious to get together with the
Finance Committee to discuss various projects at the Airport re-
garding financing the Town 's share of the parking apron, the re-
mainder due on the Master Plan, as well as a number of other items
and the overall financing concept of the Airport. Councilman Titus
also asked that the Airport Committee report to the Council concern-
ing the violations of the leases at the Airport. Mayor Hill gave to
Mr. Wallace a copy of a letter from the Board of Supervisors concern-
ing possible dates for a joint meeting of the Council , the Board and
the Airport Committee , the date to be decided on later by Council.
Councilman Titus also said that he believed the State Code has
been amended to require that the Board of Supervisors be advised of
water and sewer extension requests outside the corporate limits.
This would therefore, eliminate Item 14 from the Agenda tonight.
Mayor Hill explained that he had asked the Board of Supervisors
to meet with the Council and the Airport Committee , as mentioned
above, and they had suggested two dates . After some discussion, it
was decided that neither of the suggested dates met with Council 's
approval . Town Manager Ritter was asked to write the Board to see
if July 25th at 7 : 30 P.M. would be agreeable - if not, to please sug-
gest other dates for such a meeting.

fective July 1 , 1974 :

MINUTES OF JULY 10, 1974 MEETING.

garding its desire to operate a bingo game for charitable
purposes ; and

the regulation of such games under the new provisions of the

of raffles , bingo and related games authorized in accordance
with this section of the State Code of Virginia, and that such
regulatory guidelines shall be submitted to the Town Council
on August 14, 1974 .
was
There/considerable discussion, during which Councilman Rock explained
that the Committee felt that these guidelines should be set up be-
fore a permit is actually granted, although it is not intended to
deny the permit. Discussion also included means of securing a copy
of the new laws adopted by the General Assembly and taking effect
on July 1 . The resolution above was then unanimously adopted, as
shown below:
Aye : Councilmen Bange, Newman, Orr, Ridder, Rock, Titus and
Mayor Hill .
Nay : None.
On motion of Councilman Titus , seconded by Councilman Bange , the
following Ordinances were proposed :
BE IT ORDAINED by the Town Council of the Town of Leesburg,
that Sections 25-4, 25-5, 25-6 , 25-7 , 25-7 . 1 and 25-7.2 of

Councilman Titus explained that these changes are in line with the
request of the builders at the June 24th meeting . He asked Town
Manager Ritter to explain the mechanics for payment of these fees .
Mr. Ritter said that , before the Treasurer accepts any money for
availability or water and sewer connections, it will be necessary
for him to check with him (Mr. Ritter) to see if the amount of the

7
MINUTES OF JULY 10, 1974 MEETING.
Bids were opened at this time by Town Manager Ritter for the
investment of Town funds , as follows :
Peoples National Bank - 11.27 per cent .
First & Merchants National Bank- 11 .56 per cent .

vestment of
$550,000 for a period of 180 days, at an interest rate of
11 .56 per cent .
Aye: Councilmen Bange , Newman, Orr, Ridder, Rock, Titus and
Mayor Hill .
Nay: None.
On motion of Councilman Rock, seconded by Councilman Bange, the
following resolution was proposed :
BE IT RESOLVED, that the negotiation of contracts to be ad-
ministered by the Town Manager be set at a figure of $5 ,000
and below, and that any contracts over $5 ,000 be reviewed
by Council for approval.
Councilman Titus offered the following substitute resolution, which
was moved by Councilman Rock and seconded by Councilman Newman :
BE IT RESOLVED, that all contracts for work projected to
be $5 ,000 or less may be negotiated by the Town Manager;
provided, however, that in all cases the terms and condi-
tions of the proposed contracts shall be submitted to the
Town Attorney, appropriate committee and Town Council for
approval of such negotiations , and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that all contracts for work projected
to be over $5,000 shall be awarded on a competitive bid basis ,
unless otherwise authorized by the Town Council ; provided,
however, that in all cases the terms and conditions of such
proposed contracts shall be submitted to the Town Attorney ,
appropriate committee and Town Council for approval prior to
requesting of bids , and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that all bid openings shall be held
at either a standing committee meeting or Town Council meet-
ing .
Councilman Titus explained that , in this way, a small contractor
could perhaps get in on some of the work to be performed by the
Town. He did feel, however, that the items on the Agenda which
have been negotiated and discussed by committee should be con-
sidered and allowed to be adopted tonight. Mr. Ritter pointed out
that there is some advantage and time saving if bids are opened
ahead of the meeting in order to check out the arithmetic and line
items . The resolution , as presented above, was then unanimously
adopted , as shown below:
Aye : Councilmen Bange, Newman, Orr, Ridder, Rock, Titus and
Mayor Hill .
Nay : None.
Mayor Hill recognized Mr. Lester Shor and his associate , Mr.
Robert Silverman , who, first of all, wished to discuss with Council
their request that the Town accept a"Letter of Credit" in lieu of
cash or a surety bond for the physical improvements in the Scandia
development . Councilman Rock , Chairman of the Finance and Adminis-
S
MINUTES OF JULY 10, 1974 MEETING.
tration Committee , explained that this was discussed with Mr. Shor
at the Committee meeting, with the decision being left to the entire
Council . Personally, he felt that an irrevocable "Letter of Credit"
is not really a substitute for a surety bond; also, if this is ac-
cepted, he was not sure that this would not constitute waiving of
one of the Zoning Ordinances . He also pointed out that a "Letter of
Credit" would have to be renewed each year for the term of the proj -
ect. He is interested only in the protection of the Town, but feels
that each Council member should make a decision on this matter. He
pointed out that Council would be considering a "Letter of Credit"
in lieu of $243 ,000 in cash or a surety bond in this case.
Council
Mayor Hill asked Town Attorney Martin if the Timm would be in
violation of the Ordinance if it accepted a Letter of Credit in lieu
of a cashier 's check. Mr. Martin said this would not be in line with
the Ordinance, but perhaps the Site Plan and Zoning Ordinance should
be amended. It was pointed out , however, that this would require a
Public Hearing . Councilman Titus felt that this would be instructing
Mr. Forbes how to interpret the Ordinance, and he is the Town 's agent
in this case . Town Attorney Martin said the Code of Virginia states
that, in the case of a Subdivision Ordinance insofar as physical im-
provements are concerned, the Town may accept such security as the
Council deems appropriate . Since this falls under the Site Plan
Ordinance and the pressures of economic circumstances hae changed,
perhaps the Town should have a safety valve in a situation such as
this . Councilman Rock would perhaps go along with this if the Ordi-
nance read this way , but it does not. Councilman Ridder felt that
if there could be some assurance of renewal of the Letter of Credit
and if the proper amendment were made to the Ordinance, then he would
be in favor of it. However, he did not feel that Council could ac-
cept it as the Ordinance now reads .
Mr. Shor explained the difference between a surety bond and a
performance bond. You cannot get a performance bond today and a surety
bond costs him 41 per cent . Also, all bonds run for a year and it
would be his intention to come back each year and state that so much
of the work has been done and present a bond for the remainder to be
completed. He also spoke of the various "safety valves" the Town
would have , citing particularly the fact that all of this work would
have to be inspected before an occupancy permit is issued. He and
Mr. Silverman then pointed out to Council just exactly what is ex-
pected to be accomplished in the first year on this project, with
a rough expenditure to cover same being approximately $180,000.
Further lengthy discussion continued on the above matter, with
Mr . Shor stating that they are merely asking if Council will consider
this Letter of Credit as a bonding method. It was also felt, after
much discussion by Council members , that perhaps the Ordinance should
be amended after further study of this method. Mayor Hill then re-
ferred this matter back to the Finance Committee for study and recom-
mendation to Council and, if they feel the Ordinance should be amended
or corrected, so state .
Mr. Silverman then brought up the question of the easements needed
which, according to the Site Plan Ordinance, must be adopted by the
Council before they can go before the Planning Commission for final
approval . He said perhaps it might be more feasible to have these
easements recorded after they are installed and prior to being ap-
proved. Councilman Titus felt this might be a very good idea, how-
ever, they would have to have the proper mechanism to guarantee that
it would be done at the proper time . Mayor Hill then referred this
question back to the Public Works Committee .
A five-minute recess was declared by Mayor Hill at 9 :4Q P.M. ,
with Council resuming session at 9 :45 P.M. Councilman Orr had left
the meeting at this time and did not return.
On motion of Councilman Rock, seconded by Councilman Newman, the
following resolution was proposed:
BE IT RESOLVED, that Loudoun Memorial Hospital be advised that
a business license is waived for the operation of a gift shop
at the Hospital for the fiscal year 1974-1975, in accordance
with their letter of June 26, 1974.

MINUTES OF JULY 10, 1974 MEETING.
After considerable discussion, on motion of Councilman Rock, seconded
by Councilman Titus , Council voted unanimously to call for the ques-
tion. The resolution was unanimously adopted, as shown below:
Aye : Councilmen Bange , Newman , Ridder, Rock, Titus and Mayor
Hill .
Nay : None.
On motion of Councilman Titus , seconded by Councilman Ridder, the
following resolution was proposed:
BE IT RESOLVED, that Loudoun Memorial Hospital be requested
to furnish easements for water, sanitary sewer and storm
sewer lines on its property.
After some little discussion , the resolution was unanimously adopted,
as shown below:
Aye : Councilmen Bange , Newman, Ridder, Rock, Titus and Mayor
Hill.
Nay : None .
On motion of Councilman Titus , seconded by Councilman Bange, the
following resolution was proposed:
BE IT RESOLVED, that Perry Engineering Company ' s proposal of
June 19, 1974 be accepted for the adjustments to utility lines
on the Route 7 Urban Project, in the total amount of $21,709. 24.
There was lengthy discussion on this resolution , with particular con-
cern by Town Attorney Martin that there is no official contract on
this project, which would be in compliance with a resolution adopted
earlier at this meeting . The decision was to let this proposal go
through without a contract, due to a time factor, however, it was felt
that a form contract should be drawn up for all projects . The reso-
lution was then unanimously adopted, as shown below:
Aye : Councilmen Bange, Newman , Ridder, Rock, Titus and Mayor
Hill.
Nay : None .
On motion of Councilman Titus , seconded by Councilman Rock, a
resolution concerning authorization for Perry Engineering Company
to perform work on the 33" outfall line between the old Sewer Plant
and the new Sewer Plant was unanimously referred to the Public Works
Committee for proper contract, as shown below:
Aye : Councilmen Bange , Newman , Ridder, Rock, Titus and Mayor
Hill.
Nay : None .
Proposed Policies and Procedures to be adopted by the Public
Works Committee were discussed at this time , with Councilman Titus
explaining that these Policies will be adopted by said Committee at
its next meeting and to become effective on July 16th. Councilman
Rock said the Finance and Administration Committee expects to adopt
similar Policies and Procedures and will draft same for the next Com-
mittee meeting. Mayor Hill, at this time, formally appointed the fol-
lowing to these committees :

Ridder and Bange.
