PETITIONERS:
Colonel Michael C. Granata, 201 Cornwall Street, N.W. , spoke concern-
ing the additional proposed parking plan. He distributed copies of a let-
ter from the Department of Motor Vehicles in Richmond and asked Mr. Kelley
to read it. The letter concerned the Department of Motor Vehicles' move in
1988 from their present location on Wirt Street. He stated with the move •
of this office it would relieve the need for parking He briefly described
several items as follows: (1) the move of the County offices and the addi-
tional parking space there, (2) the two-hour parking meters on the street,
and (3) he believes we should preserve the open space we now have. He
recommended Council have a hearing and give this problem a hard look before
proceeding.
Elizabeth Grenata, 201 Cornwall Street, N.W. , representative chairman
for the Woman's Club, she suggested Council consider a public hearing sepa-
rating the parking lot and the development of the Town Council building.
Charles Bos, 211 North King Street, Leesburg member of the Loudoun
County Board of Supervisors, stated that, regardless of the criticism about
the design competition, he believes Leesburg is trying to do the right
thing in planning for the future of Leesburg. He expressed his apprecia-
tion to the members of Council, the design committee and all participants
in the design competition.
Mr. Bos said that, as the owner of Leesburg Import Service, he was
pleased with the new traffic signal at Fort Evans Road and East Market
Street. It has eased the traffic problem and the accident potential.
CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION:
A Certificate of Appreciation was presented to Carl Gregg, outgoing
member of the Leesburg Airport Commission, for ten years as member and
chairman of the Leesburg Airport Commission for his outstanding contribu-
tion to the betterment of the Town of Leesburg.
The Mayor said one of the things going on in town this week really
exciting for Council was that we are in the final stages in the selection
of a plan for the parking facility and municipal offices in downtown. He
said there had been a reception for the applicants, the jurors and entrants
and for citizens of our community to come and look at some of the outstand-
ing plans we have received. We had over 500 applicants - 200 of them sub-
mitted applications. We, with the assistance of Professor of Architecture
Larry Witzling, set up a design competition that would attract some of the
most qualified applicants throughout the country. The design competition
consisted of preparing the rules of the competition and circulating them,
encouraging applications, panelling a jury, receiving the applications, and
•

MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF LEESBURG TOWN COUNCIL, June 24, 1987
then putting the jury to the difficult task of selecting the plan that best
suited the town. After introducing Larry Witzling, the Mayor presented him
with a Certificate of .Appreciation for his contribution to the betterment
of the Town of Leesburg as professional advisor in the Leesburg design
competition.
Larry Witzling said in a design competition there are many critical
goals (1) making sure when the competition is over that the designer who is
selected is a highly qualified designer, (2) selecting a concept that has
the potential in terms of the next step of design development and is some-
thing we can work with, (3) the overall public image and quality of the
entire design complex, and (4) the jury. The first place winner is Hanno
Weber who is an architect from Chicago.
Hanno Weber said he was privileged to have won this competition and
it would be an honor to work with the town and make a dream come true.
The Mayor called Martha Semmes and Charles Williams forward and
presented each of them with a Certificate of Appreciation for their par-
ticipation as jurors in the Leesburg design competition. He also presented
Hanno Weber with a check for $10,000 as first place winner in the competi-
tion.
Colonel Grenata said we should express our appreciation to the jury
members for all their work. There are some people in Leesburg who are con-
cerned about open space. Putting the garage in the open space area which
is now used as a parking lot increases the density and gets away from what
we have had in Leesburg. Mr. Weber responded with the appropriate informa-
tion.
COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS:
Mr. Williams said that, in the mayor's absence, he had the opportuni-
ty to welcome the citizens of our community to the Sunday Evening Bluemont
Concert series. There were approximately 700 people there. There was
dancing on the courthouse lawn, including our Director of Planning. The
evening was enjoyed by all. Mayor Sevila commented that this is an impor-
tant part of our week-end life in the community.
Mr. Pelkey congratulated Mr. Weber on his winning preliminary design.
Mr. Curry advised that the Planning Commission met last week and ap-
proved the development plan for Bellewood Commons opposite the Plaza Shop-
ping Center; they approved "f" and "g" next to the airport for Richlynn and
approved the Historic District for the Rocko building - this will make a
nice looking building.
Mr. Tolbert regretted he could not be at Council meeting - he was out
to a Father's Day dinner.
Mayor Sevila called attention to the Lion's Club annual auto show at
Morven Pank - this is a nice way to spend an afternoon. You will see some
of the nicest cars brought in from out of state - they have some quality
entries.
MANAGER'S REPORT:
Mr. Minor reported the following personnel actions:
We are pleased to announce Paul Gauthier has accepted the position of
Chief, Plan Review. He is a professional engineer and registered land
surveyor. He will be a big help to Tom Mason and the rest of those in the
Public Works Department and also to the Town Manager and the rest of the
staff. We are hoping to expedite our development plans and maintain the
quality for which we have been outstanding.
We received acceptance today from Steve Brown (from Naples, Florida)
who will be our new Assistant Manager. He brings with him a very adequate
background, with strong emphasis in personnel. He will be here sometime in
early August, depending on his finding a house.

MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF LEESBURG TOWN COUNCIL, June 24, 1987
The Council's action to authorize condemnation of the former Bryant
tract was very successful - we are on the property now. We were very
pleased that Council, on notice, was able to accommodate that request.
The new high pressure sodium lights have been installed on Route 15
south. Once they are activated, they should have a very good impact.
The contract with Kamber Engineering for Phase VI storm drainage
project has been signed - we will begin work on this project.
Mr. Kelley asked if we will be checking the timing on the Route 15
lights? Tom Mason said they do observe the intersection to make sure the
signal is functioning properly. It depends on the number of cars entering
the intersection. We have already had one complaint concerning the green
time.
Mayor Sevila declared a five minute recess.
Council reconvened to consider the agenda items.

87-124 - RESOLUTION - APPROVING THE BUDGET AND MAKING APPROPRIATIONS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1988
On motion by Mr. Williams and seconded by Mr. Tolbert and Mr. Kelley,
the following resolution was proposed and unanimously adopted:
102
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF LEESBURG TOWN COUNCIL, June 24, 1987
WHEREAS, the budget and tax rate for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1988, have been presented and reviewed by this Council; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing on the tentative budget and tax rate was held
on May 27, 1987, and
WHEREAS, the manager has prepared the Revised Budget and Initial Appro-
priations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1988, dated June 24, 1987, to
reflect adjustments made by the Council dated June 16, 1987, and filed the
same with the Clerk of Council:
THEREFORE, RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg in Virginia
as follows:
SECTION I. The revised Budget dated June 24, 1987, is adopted and
appropriations are made for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1988, in the
amounts shown to the categories and accounts under the "FY 1988 Initial
Appropriations" column for the general, utility, airport and capital
projects funds, provided that capital project funds appropriations remain
in effect until the projects are completed.
SECTION II. The balance owed the General Fund from the Airport Fund in
the amount of $101,746. 72 pursuant to a loan transfer authorized by Council
Resolution No. 85-93 is hereby made a permanent transfer to the Airport
Fund.
SECTION III. A transfer from the Utility Fund to the General Fund in
the amount of $50,000 is authorized to reimburse the General Fund for 50%
of its participation in the cost of the construction of the automated
flight service station/terminal and Route 643 sewer line extension project.
SECTION IV. The Utility Fund loan to the Airport Fund in the amount of
$50,000 authorized by Council Resolution No. 83-168 is hereby made a perma-
nent transfer to the Airport Fund.
SECTION V. The manager is authorized to transfer appropriations made
herein to Operations and Maintenance accounts within the same budget divi-
sion.
Mr. Williams stated the budget we are about to vote for is certainly
one of the more ambitious budgets that any town of our size may embark
upon. He praised the town staff for working diligently with the Council in
preparing this budget, they made various charts and forms to show what
could happen in the event the economy softened. He said we could feel good
about supporting a budget of this magnitude.
Mr. Curry said this budget worried him more than any we've had since
being on Council. He first thought he could not support an increase of 15
to 20 percent real estate tax but, if you think about the increase, it is
due to the rate of the county assessments rather than the change in the tax
rate for the town. Under these conditions he could support the budget. He
said the capital projects did bother him but he felt that all the projects
were needed.
Mr. Kelley said each year we have improved the process and he felt we
had come a long way. He said he did not agree with all the capital improve-
ment programs but he said he would vote for the budget. The fact that we
are a growing town indicates that it takes more money to operate our govern-
ment whether we like it or not. He believes that both staff and Council
are working in agreement to bring forth a budget that is palatable. He
said he did not believe this budget, on the whole, was excessive and he
felt it was a fine document and he would endorse its approval.
The Mayor also praised the budget. This budget reflects a lot of
things. It's a policy document for the Council and we are saying it unani-
mously that we do want to move forward, and we want to be aggressive and
ambituous, and get some things done that are long overdue in the communi-
ty. We put Mr. York to the task and we put the burden on him to show us
this is the kind of budget that is not going to put the town in a financial
bind regardless of what the economic climate in our community is. It is
the kind of budget we are going to be able to live with in good times and

support entirely, but we all support in concept.

MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF LEESBURG TOWN COUNCIL, June 24, 1987
WHEREAS, the town's planned development process offers an opportunity
for the YMCA of Loudoun County to acquire land necessary to construct a
recreation facility convenient to the greater Leesburg area; and
WHEREAS, on December 20, 1984, an opinion from the Leesburg Zoning
Administrator confirms that the YMCA, as a non-profit organization open to
the public without discrimination, qualifies as a recreation site with
respect to meeting the town's planned development ordinances on-site recrea-
tion, as well as open space requirements:
THEREFORE, RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg in Virginia
as follows:
SECTION I. This Council encourages the YMCA of Loudoun county to lo-
cate its facilities within the corporate limits of the town of Leesburg and
to program its facility to effectively compliment the recreation programs,
services and facilities planned by this Council.
SECTION II. This Council recognizes that a YMCA facility is a highly
compatible use within the planned development areas designated in the Town
Plan and encourages the YMCA of Loudoun County to consider the opportuni-
ties for land acquisition in conjunction with the town's planned develop-
ment process.
SECTION III. This Council encourages the YMCA to consider use of
Leesburg's planned aquatic center/gymnasium complex to be constructed at
Ida Lee Park for its programs as appropriate.
Mr. Williams said a representative of the YMCA was at the Finance and
Administration Committee meeting. Dave Culbert who is a member of their
directorship and research committee suggested the Council may want to pass
a resolution once again identifying its interest and concern for the YMCA.
Over the past three years, several members of this Council have hardly
endorsed the YMCA and its location in our community. This resolution iden-
tifies and separates the various elements we would both like to achieve.
Mr. Kelley said he was at the same meeting and there was some confu-
sion and concern by members of the Y as to the thoughts and feelings of
Council relative to them coming to Leesburg. This resolution should answer
their concerns.
Aye: Councilmembers Curry, Kelley, Leach, Pelkey, Tolbert, Williams
and Mayor Sevila
Nay: None

87-133 - RESOLUTION - MAKING APPOINTMENTS TO THE CABLE TELEVISION
ADVISORY COMMISSION
On a motion by Mr. Williams, seconded by Mr. Tolbert, the following
resolution was proposed and unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, all members' terms on the Cable Television Advisory Commission
will expire on June 30, 1987:
THEREFORE, RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg in Virginia
as follows:
SECTION I. The following members are reappointed to the Cable Televi-
sion Advisory Commission by the Town Council for terms ending June 30, 1991:
John W. Pumphrey, III Terry Jones
Alvin Dodson
SECTION II. The consent of the Town Council is given to Prime Cable of
Leesburg's appointments to the Cable Television Advisory Commission for
terms ending June 30, 1991, as follows:
Richard Herndon Paul E. Smith
SECTION III. The above appointments shall become effective July 1,
1987.
Mr. Kelley said here are five good people that have served very admi-
rably on a Board or Commission of the town and we are happy to see their
willingness to serve.
Mayor Sevila said he has served with all these people on this Commis-
sion and personally knows all of them and is in support of the reappoint-
ment of them. He complimented Terry Jones and said Mr. Jones was really
enjoying himself on this Commission. He said Prime Cable is within 50
subscribers of having 3,000 which is 62% and which exceeds a northern Vir-
ginia average of 51%. He mentioned that a question had come up as to why
the Council meetings have not been televised recently. Tonight makes three
out of the last four meetings they have missed. The Mayor suggested to Mr.
Minor that he write a letter to Prime Cable asking them for an official
explanation. The Mayor said they have fallen short of their requirements.
He said they do not have a local manager here and it is not required.
Mr. Williams suggested that when Mr. Minor writes this letter that we
ask the cable television if they would be interested in recording the
Bluemont Sunday night concert series for distribution over the cable. He
said for the number of people that attend - there is probably an equal
number that would like to attend and simply cannot.
The Mayor said there are a lot of activities in the community that we
think are worthy of being televised unfortunately manpower and expense seem
to be the limiting factor there and the overall attitude on the part of
Prime is that they will meet the minimum requirements. There was consider-
able discussion about the franchise with Prime Cable.
