Bange, Mary Anne Newman, Robert A. Orr, Her- bert L. Ridder, James A. Rock and C. Terry Titus ; also Acting Town Manager E. Wesley Devero and Town Attorney George M. Martin. The Minutes of the Public Hearing of March 10, 1975 were changed by Councilman Titus on Page 189, fourth line, to read: " (2) There were charges of. . . ." These Minutes were approved as changed, and the Min- utes of the regular meeting of March 12, 1975 were approved as sub- mitted. Town Attorney Martin reported : (1) The case of the owner of Uncle Abe ' s against the Town has been dismissed on motion of the attorneys . (2) There is a case simmering which has been filed by Lucien Rawls against the Town, however, he was unable to get a status re- port on this from the attorney representing Mr. Rawls . (3) He received a call from a resident of Fairfax who had been served with a summons for failure to pay a parking ticket. He ex- plained the procedure followed in such a case and felt this was rather severe punishment forthe offense mentioned. Council dis- cussed this briefly, with Mayor Hill asking that this be checked out to see if the full procedure had been followed, in this case. Acting Town Manager Devero reported: (1) A report has been received from the Highway Department on inspection of the streets in Country Club Subdivision. (2) Replies have been received from the owners or developers of those subdivisions in question as to the use of sewer capacity, in accordance with resolution adopted by the Council at its last meeting. It is now up to Council to make a determination on these projects. Councilman Titus remarked that Mr. Shorts letter did not specify a date for a construction start and felt that this should be done, particularly in view of the fact that it is understood there is a possibility of a transfer of this project to another developer. Mayor Hill instructed Mr. Devero to ascertain the use and timing on this project. (3) A letter has been received from Mr. Mooney, representing the owners of the well site property in Brandon, giving authoriza- tion for surveys and appraisal of the property and stating that they will be looking forward to a proposal from the Town on the property. (4) Extension of the Maryland permits until April 1, 1976 has been received, however, they stated that, based upon a review of the water demands in the Washington Metropolitan Area, it is their in- tent to revise the appropriation permit before April 1, 1976. (5) The appraisal on the proposed Town Office Building has been received and sent back for correction of some errors . (6) Specifications for bids and contract forms for use by the Town have been _prepared and will be submitted to the Town Attorney for review and. recommendation. He commended Mr. Chaves for his work on this project. - Councilman Titus had the following comments : (1) He inquired as to whether or not the weeds and brush have been removed from the Hunt land Homes property on Davis Avenue, as promised within 60 days after clearance of title on this property. He was advised that this has not been done . Mr. Titus felt this should be done as quickly as possible. 2U ' MINUTES OF MARCH 26, 1975 MEETING. (2) He requested that property owners who do not cut the weeds and clean off their vacant lots be advised of the Town ordinance re- quiring that this be done , particularly before the Bicentennial. (3) There are organizations conducting raffles without permits. He asked that publicity be given to this in order that permits may be secured. or waived by the Council if requested. �4�d Mr. Martin has advised that the Trustees under deeds of trugc align dedication and easement plats in order to protect the Town. He would like an opinion from the Council, in order that it might be forwarded to the Planning Commission for its direction in such : matters. Mr. Martin said the statute requires this and de- scribed the problems that could arise if this is not done. Mayor Hill referred this matter to the Finance and Administration Com- mittee, with Councilman Rock asking that Mr. Forbes prepare the necessary resolution for Committee consideration. (5) He was concerned that there is no item on the Agenda con- cerning the alley on Fairview Avenue. He felt this should be taken care of. Mr. Devero advised that this is a legal matter and will be discussed in executive session. (6) He asked that Item #7 on the Agenda be deferred for fur- ther discussion by the Public Works Committee. (7) He felt that Council should recommend replacement of the sidewalk on East Market Street before the trees are removed. Mr. Devero advised that this will be discussed at the time this comes before Council on the Agenda - no letter has gone out directing that these trees be removed yet. Councilman Rock asked that Item #11 on the Agenda be- sent back to the Finance and Administration Committee. Mayor Hill advised Mr. Devero that, until some word has been received from the local Health Department that the State Health De- partment has approved the use of the "lime kiln" site as an alterna- tive water supply, this will not be considered. On motion of Councilman Rock, seconded by Councilman Newman, the following Ordinance was proposed: BE IT ORDAINED, that Subsections (2) and (3) of Section 11-19, Fees for Collection, of Article III, Collection by Town Con- tractor, of Chapter 11, Garbage and Trash, of the Code of the Municipality of Leesburg, Virginia be and it is hereby amended to read as follows : (2) For light commercial garbage there shall be a charge of $5.00 per month based on a volume of up to and including ten (10) cubic yards of garbage or refuse per month. This charge to be effective April 1, 1975. (3) For heavy commercial garbage there shall be a charge of $20.00 per month based on a volume of over ten (10) cubic yards of garbage or refuse per month. This charge to be effective April 1, 1975 . Councilman Rock said that this is the recommendation of the Finance and Administration Committee after extensive discussion. Although there are some who favor leaving the ordinanceasitis until the end of the fiscal year, he felt that this cannot be done - it is too much of a problem. This matter was discussed at length by Council, with much of the discussion centering on the problems involved with measuring trash by the cubic yard. Mr. Pumphrey, representing Jock' s Exxon, and Mr. Smith, representing Jerry 's Florist , were both in favor of a flat rate basis . However, both felt it unfair to be constantly included in the "heavy" category because they might fall in this cate- gory for one quarter only. After further discussion, Council felt that it is really not feasible to charge by the cubic yard under the present system. On motion of Councilman Ridder, seconded by Councilman Rock, the following amendment was proposed: 204 MINUTES OF MARCH 26 , 1975 - MEETING. - (2) For commercial garbage there shall b3 a charge of $5.00 per month, to be effective April 1, 1975, and BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED that Subsection (3) of Section 11-19 shall be deleted.

Approximate costs on "fishing out" the sec- tion of intake pipe at the bottom of the well and upgrading the exist- /I ing pump to produce an additional 18002 gallons per minute would be $5 ,000. Also important is the fact that it looks like delivery of the pump could be pretty soon, which would enable increasing the capacity of this well by this summer. He said he would like authori- zation to proceed further and to look more carefully at what this additional capacity might do to the quality of the water. He hoped to come back to the next meeting of Council with more definite rec- ommendations. Councilman Titus asked that Item #9 on the Agenda be referred back to the Public Works Committee.

Mr. Embrey was present and explained to Council just what his problems are.
