VOCATIONAL EDUCATION WEEK

giving them a lifetime of personal satisfaction and occupational growth and productivity; and

PETITIONERS
Mayor Sevila and Mr. John Tolbert, Chairman of the Environmental Advisory Commission, presented
certificates to the winners of the Christmas Decoration award. The winners are: the McDonald
residence, the Marshall residence, Janney Street, the Antenucci residence, Jocks Exxon and The Norris
House.
Mr. Martin Lovett, a resident of $01 Rust Drive, N.E., addressed the Council with regard to the
proposed fire substation. He stated that the Exeter site is becoming a "rough" issue. He urged the
Council to make a stand on this issue now and not forward it to another committee. The Council
needs to make a decision now on the Exeter site. The Exeter site should not even be discussed. It
is in a residential district with recreational facilities nearby the site. The fire company should look
elsewhere for a new site. With the Exeter site still lingering, the fire company will continue to look
at it and try to get it.
Mr. Michael Tringale, Executive Director of Leeshurg Renaissance, addressed the Council announcing
the Leesburg International Music Festival event scheduled for February 20, 21 and 22. Tickets are
$15.00 per person or $40.00 for the entire series. This event will be a great promotion for the Town
of Leesburg.
Mrs. Mildred Herbough, a resident of 908 Marshall Drive, N.E., addressed the Council with regard to
the proposed fire substation. "The news broadcast on Channel 9 Sunday evening was very slanted.
I believe that a decision on the Exeter site had been rendered. I question if the town and/or county
condoned the calling of a tv station and inviting them to do this story. I question the use of the
taxpayers dollars and contributions to run fire apparatus around the town so that it could be used as
a backdrop for a news story. What did that cost? If this was not condoned then corrective type action
should be taken against the people that instituted it. In a private organization corrective action would
be grounds for termination. I respect Mayor Sevila's decision to step down as Mayor but I have great
concerns of what the future holds for this community. This ugly issue could rear its ugly head yet
again as early as July or August. I am concerned if the principal of the Leesburg Elementary School,
the School Board or the residents of Carrvale and Exeter will then be heard."
Mr. Brian Balthrop, a resident of the Carrvale Subdivision, addressed the Council. He stated that he
recently received information that there is potential for this Council to identify an alternative site that
would satisfy both the needs of the fire company and the citizens. We believe there is a need for a fire
station, we just think that the Plaza Street site is the wrong site.
COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS
Mr. Webb stated that he and Ms. Bange were present at Saturday's Listening Session. Mr. Alton
Echols was present and expressed his concern with the economic turnaround for Leesburg.
The Cable Commission and current cable company is very well satisfied with the recently adopted cable
ordinance.
Mr. Clem stated that he had the opportunity to cut the ribbon and re-open the Rink on Saturday.
This is a good alternative for the children as well as another business back into the community.
He urged everyone to visit the new library.
Mr. Kimball had no comment.
Mrs. Forester responded to the petitioners, tonight, stating that she agrees with them. "This Council
voted against the Plaza Street site. The majority of the Council said that it was an inappropriate site
after months of exhaustive study looking at the fire department's issue, the citizen's issues and looking
at all aspects. It is time that this Council slammed the door on that site and move forward to find a
better site. Until this Council reiterates the fact that it did vote and did take a stand on that site and
we have to move forward we are not going to make progress."
Mrs. Forester asked that Mr. Brown put on the Planning and Zoning Committee agenda for February
18, a discussion of the process - how we move forward from the Plaza Street site and look at
alternatives. "I don't believe that the town staff, nor the Town Council has had the opportunity to fully
explore the options." "I heard some very disturbing comments about how the ad hoc fire station
committee was run and slanted by some of the criteria that were set by some of the committee
members themselves. Not the criteria that were set by the members of this Council. The members
of this Council gave that committee wide open agenda. We said look at the northeast quadrant and
find another site. Yet when that committee went to work they found that they were limited in scope
Minutes of February 11, 1992
because of a resolution that was passed by some of the members of that committee." It is time that
this Council take a leadership on this idea, find an alternative site. There are alternatives. We heard
from Mr. Brown tonight on an innovative idea. We have a creative staff, citizens and a fire department.
If we could all work together we will find an alternative and we could have found one long ago if
the vote that we took on the Plaza Street site was taken as a final vote."
Ms. Bange stated that she has asked Mr. Brown to look into the feaSibility of selling the proffered land
on Plaza Street so that the money can be used to buy another piece of property.
She congratulated the vocational educators of Loudoun County. As a former vocational educator, Ms.
Bange stated that it is very important that we teach the students how to make a living with what they
have to work with to make a good life.
The Parks and Recreation Commission is working hard to meet the budget crunch and to keep the park
moving forward. There will be some public forums, in March and April, to allow the citizens the
oppo~cunity to come in and express their ideas about the park.
She encouraged everyone to visit Ida Lee Park.
MAYOR'S REPORT
Mayor Sevila stated that the William F. and Margaret Rust Library was dedicated on Saturday. It is
a magnificent facility located next to Ida Lee Park. He encouraged everyone to visit the library.
Mayor Sevila announced the engagement of Clerk of Council Barbara Markland and Bill Messinger.
MANAGER'S REPORT
Mr. Brown stated that Arbor Day is scheduled for April 11 and encouraged everyone to come out to
Ida Lee Park.
Charles Mumaw, one of the town's staff engineers, recently received his professional engineering
designation.
Police Officer Vicki Gambrell is the proud mother of a baby girl, born on January 26.
