MINUTES OF SPECIAL MEETING OF LEESBURG TOWN COUNCIL, OCTOBER 16 , 1974
A special meeting of the Leesburg Town Council was held in the

• Bange , Mary Anne Newman , Robert A. Orr, Herbert L. Ridder, James A.
Rock and C . Terry Titus ; also Town Manager James W . Ritter, Jr. and
Deputy Town Manager E . Wesley Devero .
The meeting convened at 7 :06 P.M. Mayor Hill explained that the
purpose of the meeting was to discuss the proposed purchase of prop-
erty from Mrs . Jan McVay . Mrs . McVay was present and the Mayor
asked her if She wanted to say anything at this time . She replied
that she hadYcomment at this time .
On motion of Councilman Titus , seconded by Councilman Orr, the
following resolution was proposed :
WHEREAS, the Council has agreed to purchase from Mrs . McVay
a certain parcel of land at $5 .00 per square foot and , in
turn, to convey a small parcel to Mrs . McVay , and
WHEREAS , the total square footage, based upon survey of McVay
land, is 3 , 147 square feet and the parcel to be conveyed by
the Town is 27 square feet , and
WHEREAS , the purchase price is $16 ,000 , in line with Mrs .
McVay 's counter offer,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the following sums be
and they are hereby appropriated from the General Fund to
complete the transaction :
$16 ,000 .00 - Purchase price
56 .00 - Owner ' s title insurance premium
377 . 50 - Onehalf of survey
175 .00 - George M. Martin - Title , closing ,
preparation of deed to McVay
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Town Attorney prepare a
deed conveying the 27 square foot area to Mrs . McVay, and
that the same shall be executed as prescribed by the Charter
and delivered simultaneously with delivery of the deed to
the Town from Mrs . McVay .
Councilman Orr said Mr . Devero felt this money should come from Reve-
nue Sharing . Mr. Devero explained his reasons for this . Councilman
Titus felt that Council should reserve the right to replace this money
to Revenue Sharing should there be any subsequent sale of land. Mr.
Devero felt that, if this is the case , then the money should come from
the General Fund, rather than confuse this for auditing purposes .
Councilman Ridder questioned the difference between the $16 ,000
figure and the $15 ,600 figure . The $16 ,000 figure was arrived at by
• multiplying 3200 square feet times $5 .00 , as explained by Mayor Hill.
The $5 .00 per square foot figure was approximate only, with a figure
of $16 ,000 intended.
At this time, the entire Council , with Mrs . McVay, left the
Council Chambers to view the site . Mrs . McVay pointed out on the•
ground that the part that she intended to convey is that part west
. • of a line extended from the concrete slab in rear of The Clothes
Horse . This line , as pointed out by Mrs . McVay , does not agree with
plat or description . After some discussion, the Council then pro-
ceeded back to the Council Chambers .
Mayor Hill asked Town Manager Ritter to read Mrs . McVay 's letter
dated October 15 , 1974 . This letter was read. Mayor Hill said this
is not the way he understood it . Mrs . McVay explained that there was
a misinterpretation of what she intended to convey .
