80-99 - RESOLUTION - AUTHORIZING PURCHASE OF PARKING METERS .
On motion of Mr. Bos , seconded by Mrs . Hill, the following
resolution was proposed:
WHEREAS , the FY 1981 budget provides funds for replacement
of parking meters; and
WHEREAS , bids were received from two firms interested in
providing parking meters and the bid of Duncan Industries
was found to be the best bid:
THEREFORE, RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg
in Virginia, as follows :
COCO
SECTION I. The manager is authorized to enter into a con-
(v tract in a form approved by the Town Attorney with Duncan
W Industries, Division of Qonaar Corporation, 751 Pratt Blvd. ,
a Elk Grove Village, Illinois 60007, for the purchase of
Q meters for 231 parking spaces in line with the August 15,
1980 bid of Duncan Industries at a cost not to exceed
$23, 713. 62 plus trade-in allowance for used meters for
231 parking spaces .
SECTION II. An appropriation is made from the General Fund
to Account No. 10110 . 870 , Parking Meters, in the amount of
$23, 750 . 00 for the fiscal year ending June 30 , 1981.
Mr. Minor said this will replace all of the meters - both in the
parking lot and on the streets . Mr. Herrell asked if we have to
Pay the whole amount? Mr. Minor explained that we are getting
these meters from Duncan. The present ones were bought from POM
about four years ago and, for the past two and one-half years,
we have been in extensive negotiations with them - they have re-
placed some of the meters , put in new parts and done all kinds of
things. They are just bad meters and we have received an unac-
ceptable number of complaints . There is no longer any guarantee
on these meters . Mr. Bos asked the expected life of new meters?
Mr. Minor said they should last five to ten years. The Duncan
meter, which we have had before, is a different kind of mechanism
and no problem is anticipated whatsoever, with them. There was
about $1200 difference in the bids, but they would not even con-
sider POM. The resolution was unanimously adopted:
Aye : Councilmembers Bos, Herrell, M. Hill , Tolbert, Willis
and Mayor Rollins.
Nay : None.
80-100 - RESOLUTION - MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE FISCAL YEAR
ENDING JUNE 30 , 1981 .
On motion of Mrs. Hill, seconded by Mr. Herrell, the following
resolution was proposed:
RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg, Virginia,
as follows :
An appropriation is made from the General Fund to Account
No. 14020 . 285, Potter 's Field, in the amount of $13, 000 . 00
for the fiscal year ending June 30 , 1981.
MINUTES OF AUGUST 27, 1980 MEETING.
290 Mrs . Hill explained that this is $13, 000 over the original $16, 000
price, making a total of $29 ,000 . Mr. Minor said the only thing
they will be spending is for salaries - the $13, 000 - this is a
lump sum amount. The tools and miscellaneous equipment are all
different and we expect them to come in a little lower. The
$13, 000 is a maximum figure - it might be another thousand.
They believe there are 101 graves . Mayor Rollins asked if some-
one is verifying these graves? Mr. Minor said Yes, they have been
to Williamsburg and talked with the senior archeologist for the
State of Virginia and he has confirmed that these are remains,
though some of them are just bags of dirt in many cases. He said
they are confident that they are not misleading us. Mr. Willis
asked if this includes disposing of the remains? Mr. Minor said
it does not include reinterment - it includes accession of the re-
mains to a repository such as museum, a higher educational in-
stitution or whatever for a very long term - anywhere from 50 to
75 years - where these remains would undergo various tests and
study by archeological scholars. Mrs. Hill asked if we will be
able to get any of these remains back here for the local museum?
Mr. Minor said Yes, the contract says the town approves any tem-
porary or long-term storage of any of the material . We specifi-
cally mention that we want to get these artifacts, etc on temporary
display at the museum. He cautioned, however, that there is some
question as to whether things found on the human body should not be
returned to it when it is reinterred. Mrs. Hill felt that museums
are full of such things. Mr. Minor said our contract says the coun-
cil can get all the artifacts if it wants to, but the archeologist
has mentioned that this would2B4. the ethical thing. Mrs. Hill said
Mr. Winter felt it would take a Court Order - perhaps we should have
our Town Attorney investigate whether there is any legal restriction
on this. Mayor Rollins asked when they expect this work to be com-
pleted? Mr. Minor said another four to six weeks. Mrs. Hill said
Mr. Winter is leaving to go back to school, but he is leaving a crew
here. The resolution was unanimously adopted :
Aye : Councilmembers Bos, Herrell, M. Hill, Tolbert, Willis
and Mayor Rollins .
Nay : None.
80-0-13 - ORDINANCE - AMENDING SECTION 11-12 OF THE TOWN CODE.

ing ordinance was proposed:
ORDAINED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg in Virginia

Q
Aye: Councilmembers Bos, Herrell, M. Hill, Tolbert, Willis
and Mayor Rollins.
Nay : None.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 10 OF THE TOWN CODE.
On motion of Mr. Tolbert, seconded by Mrs. Hill, a proposed
ordinance amending Chapter 10 of the Town Code, a portion of which
concerns the removal and disposition of unattended vehicles, was
proposed. Mr. Bos was concerned that a car belonging to someone
on vacation, on which a license plate, sticker or inspection
sticker might have expired and which might have remained in the
same location for ten days without being moved, could be removed.
He proposed some sort of language change. Mr. Martin said he
followed the language of the State Code - this being an amend-
ment this year, and he did not feel it should be changed. On
motion of Mr. Bos , seconded by Mrs. Hill, Council voted unani-
mously to send this ordinance back to the Finance and Adminis-
tration Committee for reconsideration :
Aye: Councilmembers Bos, Herrell, M. Hill, Tolbert, Willis
and Mayor. Rollins.
Nay : None.
80-101 - RESOLUTION - AUTHORIZING STREET RESURFACING.
On motion of Mr. Willis, seconded by Mr. Tolbert, the follow-
ing resolution was proposed :

- East Market Street, westbound lane between the by-pass
and Sycolin Road.
- East Market Street, eastbound lane between Plaza Street

- Monroe Street, South King Street to its deadend.
- Fort Evans Road, East Market Street northeast 700 feet.
- West Market Street, Ayr Street to Loudoun Street.
- East Market Street, Barrister Building to east property

SECTION II . The manager shall enter into a contract with
the Tri-County Asphalt Company for street resurfacing in

the Director of Engineering and the firm's August 27 ,
1980 bid at a unit price of $26 . 00 per ton.
SECTION III . An appropriation is made from the General
Fund to Account No . 10110 . 820 , Resurfacing, in the amount
of $62 , 400 . 00 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1981 .
Mayor Rollins asked how many bids were received? Mr. Minor said
there were two - Superior Paving Corporation, at $29 . 74 a ton and
Tri-County Asphalt, at $26 . 00 a ton. The low bid is recommended.
This work can be completed by October 17th . The resolution was
unanimously adopted:
Aye: Councilmembers Bos, Herrell, D. Hill , M. Hill, Tolbert,
Willis and Mayor Rollins .
Nay: None.
It is noted that Mr. Hill joined the meeting prior to the
vote on the foregoing resolution.
SELECTION OF A CABLE TELEVISION FRANCHISEE.
Mayor Rollins said the matter of a cable television franchise
has been presented to the Council and to committees of the Council
on numerous occasions . The last time was a public meeting with
the full Council , at which time the applicants were allowed to
present their argument and proposal to the Council. It was also
a time for the public to make any comments concerning cable tele-
vision, either their views for or against it, or which company
they might prefer. He indicated at that time there would be no
further comments from the applicants or from anyone else - there
has been enough testimony concerning this matter.
On behalf of himself, and he believed for each member of the
Council, the attitude of the applicants is appreciated - they have
been forthright and comprehensive in their proposals and he felt
they are all able to do the job. It has been a very intense struggle,
to say the least. He didn 't think there is anyone sitting around
the table that has not been contacted many times, which is cer-
tainly part of the democratic process .
Parliamentary-wise, there are four resolutions (one for each
company that has presented a proposal) . He will recognize Mr.
Herrell first since he is Chairman of the committee that con-
sidered this matter. This will not be a unanimous decision and
it won ' t be a decision that was with a majority because the com-
mittee was split three ways. Also, parliamentary-wise, this
vote requires a majority vote and the first resolution to receive
a majority vote (which is four) will be awarded the franchise.
The voting will stop at that point. If nobody receives a majority,
it will be up to the Council as to how to proceed from there. If
any member abstains from voting, the parliamentary procedure is
that that vote goes with the prevailing side. If the vote should
be three to three, with one abstention, there is no prevailing side,
so the motion would fail .
Even though comments from the applicants or from the audience
have been restricted, if any member of Council wishes to address
a question to any applicant or to anyone else, the Council has
that prerogative.

PROPOSED RESOLUTION SELECTING LEESBURG-LOUDOUN CABLE TV, INC.
(MATRIX) AS FRANCHISEE.
Mr. Herrell said that, in his opinion, the company that gave
the Town the best proposal is the company recommended by the Town
staff, which is Matrix, with the local name of Leesburg-Loudoun
Cable TV. , Inc. He believed that this company can provide the
service and that it has the financial capability to provide the
service - this is his first choice. He would have preferred that
Matrix be the last to be voted on, however, he was called on first.
On motion of Mr. Herrell, seconded by Mr. Hill, the following
resolution was proposed:
WHEREAS, bids were received on June 11, 1980 from four firms
interested in a cable television franchise in Leesburg; and
WHEREAS , the bids were evaluated by the Manager and the
Finance and Administration Committee; and
WHEREAS, certain contracts and documents must be prepared for
award of the franchise and this Council desires to state its
CO intent to award the franchise upon completion of the neces-
Q) sary documents :
W THEREFORE, RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg
in Virginia, as follows :
Q
Q This Council selects Leesburg-Loudoun Cable TV, Inc. as the
firm to be awarded the cable television franchise provided
for in Chapter 5. 1 of the Town Code and states its intent
to do so at the September 10 meeting of Council, or as
soon thereafter as possible upon completion of all docu-
ments, and further states its intent to close debate on
the issue of cable television franchising in the Town of
Leesburg by adoption of this resolution.
Mr. Herrell said the Town staff did a very good job - they spent
a lot of time and had outside consultant help in their report.
They probably know a lot more about the qualifications and the
quality of the applicants than he does. Matrix has given Lees-
burg a good cable recommendation and he thinks they could do a
good job - he would like to see them have it. He felt any of 1
the others could do the job. R
Mr. Hill agreed with the Chairman of the Finance Committee -
he thought they had a tremendous task. He complimented both the
committee and the staff on doing an outstanding job. In the
twelve years he has served on this body, this is probably the
most serious and the most pressureddecision he has had to make.
He felt the Mayor would go along with this. There have been the
sewer plant, the water plant and many other issues that were prob-
ably more important but this issue has been by far the most tedious.
It ' s unique, and he complimented those bidding on it - they helped
the town to design the ordinance. It was refined by some out-
side consulting help, which brought it more in line with legal
entanglements they might face. They bid on it and each one had
a chance to "critique" the others ' bids. How often do you bid
on a job and let the other bidders tear you up? He felt the
process was right, but it has created another means by which
it has made it harder for him to make a decision. He did not
think finances really enter into it - cable television is a hot
item and no-one would have a problem getting money to build
such a system. He related a little story he recently read con-
cerning the making of decisions and said he hopes "we get the
right potato. " The proposed resolution was defeated by a roll
call vote of 5 to 2 :
Aye : Councilmembers Herrell and D. Hill .
Nay : Councilmembers Bos, M. Hill, Tolbert, Willis and
Mayor Rollins .
2 n/' MINUTES OF AUGUST 27 , 1980 MEETING.
J Y PROPOSED RESOLUTION SELECTING CATOCTIN CABLE COMMUNICATIONS , INC.
(STORER) AS FRANCHISEE.
On motion of Mrs. Hill , seconded by Mr. Willis, the "Storer"
resolution was proposed. Mayor Rollins saw no necessity to read
the remaining resolutions since they all read the same with the
exception of the name of the company.
Mrs. Hill said she did not agree with the staff report and
felt that financial capability was No. 1 . She felt Storer was
No. 1. The proposed resolution was defeated by a roll call vote
of 4 to 3 :
Aye : Councilmembers M. Hill, Willis and Mayor Rollins.
Nay : Councilmembers Bos, Herrell , D. Hill and Tolbert.
PROPOSED RESOLUTION SELECTING PINEBELT CABLEVISION AS FRANCHISEE.
On motion of Mr. Herrell , seconded by Mr. Hill, the Pinebelt"
resolution was proposed. Mr. Hill felt Pinebelt should be recog-
nized at this point - as far as he knows , they really started
negotiations for cable television here back in the early '70s
and it died. They were more or less the pioneers to get it this
far. Mr. Herrell said Pinebelt seems like a one-individual
operation and, if something happened to him, what would happen
to the cable TV? He felt he has the right to a vote since Coun-
cil has voted on two and has not come up with a successful bidder.
He will vote against it. Mr. Hill did not agree with this - he
seconded the resolution and he is going to vote for it. The pro-
posed resolution was defeated by .a roll call vote of 6 to 1 :
Aye : Councilmember D. Hill .
Nay : Councilmembers Bos, Herrell, M. Hill, Tolbert, Willis
and Mayor Rollins.
PROPOSED RESOLUTION SELECTING LEESBURG CABLE COMPANY (MID-ATLANTIC)'
AS FRANCHISEE .
On motion of Mr. Bos, seconded by Mr. Tolbert, the "Mid-
Atlantic" resolution was proposed. Mr. Bos felt it is more of
a question of what the size of Leesburg is now, and where it may
be five or ten years from now. Mid-Atlantic and Pinebelt are
more suited to the needs and the size of Leesburg, both now and
five or ten years from now. He felt local management involved
with both of these companies would have a heavy influence on
the quality of the programming we would be getting. It was
difficult for him to pick between the two, but he felt Mid-
Atlantic has the better proposal . There has been a lot of specu-
lation about other franchises in other areas, but what happens
in eastern Loudoun, Fairfax and other areas is not the issue -
Leesburg needs a good independent system. Mid-Atlantic has
proven itself in Winchester and other areas and he felt it. will
prove itself here. He wished Pinebelt had not applied - he
thought they could do a good job, but Mid-Atlantic ' s proposal
is superior.
Mayor Rollins explained why he voted for Storer:
(1) He thought their service of mobile vans stood out in
their proposal. At least, it impressed him.
(2) In his analysis of their presentation, they had the
most financially sound organization .
( 3) The propaganda about the Loudoun Times-Mirror is not
persuasive with him. He would be the last to say the Loudoun
Times-Mirror should have any advantage over .:any other media
and he did not see this as giving them any advantage. They
will have access, whether they get it by way of an agreement
or in some other fashion. The presentation did not say too much
about how expensive it is for the Monitor or WAGE or any other
media to have access to cable TV. His information is that it would
be very nominal, in fact, probably nothing - arrangements could
MINUTES OF AUGUST 27, 1980 MEETING.
295
be made, if the proper programming were offered, so that they
would have just as much access at a nominal cost as what the
Times-Mirror has with their arrangement with Storer.
He has dealt on this Council a long time and has seen finan-
cially insecure parties receive awards to the detriment of the
Town, i. e. , the airport. He did not feel any of the other ap-
plicants are financially irresponsible, - but he.-thought Storer
has a better financial background and balance sheet than do some
of the others. This is important to him.
The proposed resolution was defeated by a roll call vote of
4 to 3 :
Aye: Councilmembers Bos, D. Hill and Tolbert.
Nay: Councilmembers Herrell, M. Hill, Willis and Mayor
Rollins.
The Mayor called a five minute recess .
Council reconvened at 8 : 45 P .M. Mayor Rollins explained the
parliamentary situation. In order to reconsider one of these ap-
Q) plicants, the motion must be made by someone who voted on the pre-
CO wailing side - by someone who voted against the resolution (this
CO would be the prevailing side) .
w Mr. Herrell said it really bothers him that they pay the Town
Q staff, the two people who looked into this for the Town, probably
Q well over $50 , 000 combined, as well as an outside consultant, who
probably charges around $20 . 00 an hour, and then vote down the ap-
plicant they felt was the most qualified. He said he would have
a problem in the future voting for the Town staff to spend a lot
of time on studies if Council feels that, in this case, they didn 't
know what they were doing. This is what Council is saying by voting
against Matrix, 'and he did not agree with this . He knew there
were other things involved and other reasons for consideration,
etc. - He said he would "like one more shot" at the one he feels
is best qualified for the job and has asked Mr. Bos if he would
move it for him.
Mr. Bos said he did not vote for Matrix, but it was not that
the Town staff didn 't know what they were doing. If you go over
the proposals and accept the staff ' s criteria, he believed the
Matrix proposal ends up essentially on top of the pile - they
seem to offer the most number of services for the least cost,
the most sophisticated system and a number of other things.
His problem the first time around was essentially matching the
company history to the needs of Leesburg - this is where he found
a weakness in Matrix, using his own set of criteria. The staff
knows what they are doing - that ' s not the question. It ' s a ques-
tion of how you arrange your own personal criteria and how you
meld these that are perhaps the most important. It ' s very dif-
ficult to establish a list of criteria - a number of these things
are so interrelated that it ' s not even a matter of saying one is
more important than the other. The whole thing sort of ties to-
gether.
RECONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED RESOLUTION SELECTING LEESBURG-LOUDOUN
CABLE TV, INC. (MATRIX) AS FRANCHISEE.
On motion of Mr. Bos , seconded by Mr. Willis, it was proposed
to reconsider award of the franchise to Matrix, the vote being
unanimously adopted:
Aye : Councilmembers Bos, Herrell, D. Hill, M. Hill, Tolbert,
Willis and Mayor Rollins .
Nay: None
On motion of Mr. Bos , seconded by Mr. Herrell, it was proposed
that Matrix be awarded the cable TV franchise for Leesburg. A
roll call vote was 5 to 2 , thus defeating this proposal :

RECONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED RESOLUTION SELECTING LEESBURG CABLE
COMPANY (MID-ATLANTIC) AS FRANCHISEE.
On motion of Mr. Herrell, seconded by Mr. Tolbert, it was pro-
posed to reconsider award of the franchise to LeesburgCable Com-
pany (Mid-Atlantic) , the vote being unanimous :
Aye : Councilmembers Bos, Herrell, D. Hill, M. Hill, Tolbert,
Willis and Mayor Rollins .
Nay : None.
On motion of Mr. Herrell, seconded by Mr. Tolbert, it was pro-
posed that Mid-Atlantic be awarded the cable franchise for Lees-
burg. Mr. Hill said that, however this vote goes and however it
turns out, if there is further litigation by the unsuccessful bid-
ders, he does not think the Town should spend any money toward de-
fending the suit. This is a lawyer ' s paradise. If there are some
outside funds that want to pay our share, he would go with that -
otherwise, not. He had received a call from someone today who wanted
to know how much this was going to cost him. He told him very plainly
it would not cost him a thing unless he wanted to buy the merchandise
that was offered. So, if this goes to the point of litigation, he
would vote against the Town spending the money for that purpose. .
Mayor Rollins said he would go one step further -. he thought
the successful applicant should be required to post a bond holding
the Town harmless. If there is any question about this , he would
have some problems with reconsidering. Mr. Hill said it has been
said there was some possibility of litigation - he did not know
who they had in mind, but he just wanted to make his position clear
on this. A roll call vote was 4 to 3, thus defeating this proposal :
Aye : Councilmembers Bos , D. Hill and Tolbert.
Nay : Councilmembers Herrell, M. Hill, Willis and Mayor
Rollins .
RECcNSIDERATION OF PROPOSED RESOLUTION SELECTING CATOCTIN CABLE
COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (STORER) AS FRANCHISEE.
Mr. Herrell said he voted on the prevailing side on this and
he has some real problems with it - the main one being the tie-in
with the Times-Mirror. In the past, he has not agreed with a lot
of the editorial policy of the Times-Mirror. He felt the Editor
is a fine fellow and he has nothing against any individual em-
ployed by that paper, however. He felt Catoctin Cable Communi-
cations can do the job and that they have the financial capability,
as do all the others . He has talked with a lot of people over the
last week, some of them involved with Storer, and he has told them
that he hoped the local people will have some control and see that
they do the job right.
On motion of Mr. Herrell, seconded by Mrs . Hill, it was pro-
posed and unanimously voted to reconsider the award of the fran-
chise to Catoctin Cable Communications, Inc. (Storer) :
Aye : Councilmembers Bos, Herrell, D. Hill, M. Hill , Tolbert,
Willis and Mayor Rollins .
Nay : None.
