INVOCATION AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG

PUBLIC HEARING—CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A VARIANCE FOR ELITE RECYCLING, 103 MATTOX STREET

7:01 p.m. Mayor Campbell called to order the public hearing to receive comments on the conditional use permit for a variance for Elite Recycling at 103 Mattox Street. Mr. Howard Wells, of 110 Booker Road, said that this would help clean up the Town. He said it was going to be a good thing, and he was glad they were here. Mr. Michael Monroe, of Elite Recycling, said that things have been going well with the business. Chief Baldwin said there were a few issues with traffic in the afternoons at the turn off to Elite Recycling when the school buses are entering and leaving the Brookneal Elementary School. Mr. Monroe said they had opened up the side entrance from Burgers, Shakes, and Cream side to help with the traffic. No one spoke in opposition to the conditional use permit; therefore, Mayor Campbell closed the public hearing for the general fund budget at 7:08 p.m.

TREASURER'S REPORT

Mayor Campbell asked that the June 2011 treasurer's report be filed for audit.

PRESENTATION AND APPROVAL OF INVOICES

Be it resolved that motion was made by James Nowlin, seconded by Richard Adams, and unanimously carried, authorizing the payment of the invoices for the period of May 11, 2011, to June 14, 2011, in the amount of $31,861.43.

PUBLIC COMMENT

Mr. Michael Monroe, of Gladys, VA, announced that they had purchased the Dan River plant, and the sale is completed. Mr. Dean Monroe said that if there was any chance of anyone using the facility as is, they would go with that option first. He said they had a lot of people interested in buying the equipment.

POLICE REPORT

Chief Ricky Baldwin presented the Council with the daily activity sheet for May 2011. Chief Baldwin told the Council that he and Councilperson Adams submitted an application for a federal COPS grant to fund the salary of a police officer for three years. He said the Town would have to pick up a 4th year of pay and benefits for the officer as the condition of the grant. Mr. Adams said the Town would have to pick up the cost of uniforms and miscellaneous items.

• COPS GRANT

Upon motion by Richard Adams, seconded by Tracy Meisenbach, and unanimously carried, the Council voted to authorize Chief Baldwin to accept the grant if it is awarded to the Town.

PUBLIC WORKS REPORT

Public Works Director Mike Crews said that the crypto testing required by the Health Department has been completed. The testing was required for two years, and the last test was sent off in May 2011.

Mr. Crews said that the milling of Main Street was delayed because of a misunderstanding between the contractor and sub-contractor concerning the concrete and asphalt. He said they are supposed to start milling on June 23.

APPROVAL/DISAPPROVAL OF THE 2011/2012 GENERAL FUND BUDGET AS PRESENTED AND ADVERTISED

After proper advertisement and having been presented for public hearing on May 10, 2011, Council Member Robert Jean made a motion to approve the General Fund Budget for FY 2011/2012. The motion received a second from Council Member Richard Adams and was unanimously carried with a notation made by Councilperson Meisenbach that the Council should have been budgeted for a 3rd police officer. She said that if the Town decides to get one at some point, then the Council will be doing the appropriations game, and that is something that we should not be doing. She also said that there was also discussion of an office manager to help the clerk/treasurer out, but that was not in the budget either. She said these two positions are necessary to the smooth running of this town. She said we are running on a shoestring, since revenues has not dropped that much, and expenses have not increased that much. She said the Council is being tightfisted to the degree that it is going to wind up hurting the Town. She said that the Council needs to come up with some way to get a third officer here. Councilperson Adams said he concurred with Ms. Meisenbach's comments, and he said that he was going to continue to look at ways in the new fiscal year to find additional funds for a 3rd officer. Mr. Adams said money is sitting in the contingency fund earmarked for an office assistant, but that is a decision to be left to the Clerk/Treasurer to decide in the new fiscal year how she wants to use those funds. He said part of the contingency funds could be utilized toward a 3rd officer.

Councilperson Jean said that he did not think the office assistant position was left up to the clerk/treasurer to decide upon. Mr. Jean requested that the minutes be checked because his understanding was that he made a motion when we didn't have the funding for a police officer that the Council discussed keeping the office open. Mayor Campbell said that an ad will be run for an office person soon.

APPROVAL/DISAPPROVAL OF THE PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX RELIEF ACT (PPTRA) FOR 2011

After proper advertisement and having been presented for public hearing on May 10, 2011, Council Member Richard Adams made a motion to approve the Personal Property Tax Relief Act for 2011 as follows:

In accordance with the requirements set forth in VA. CODE ANN. $58.1-3524 C.2. as amended by Chapter 1 of the Acts of Assembly (2004 Special Session I) and as set forth in item 503.E. (Personal Property Tax Relief Program) of Chapter 951 of the 2005 Acts of Assembly, any qualifying vehicle sitused within the Town of Brookneal commencing January 1, 2011, shall receive personal property tax relief in the following manner:

• Personal use vehicles with assessed value of $500 or less will be eligible for 100% tax relief;

• Personal use vehicles with assessed value of $501 to $10,000 will be eligible for 69% tax relief;

• Personal use vehicles with assessed value of $10,001 or more shall receive only 69% tax relief on the first $10,000 in assessed value;

• All other vehicles which do not meet the definition of "qualifying" (such as business use vehicles, farm use vehicles, motor homes, etc.) will not be eligible for any form of tax relief under this program;

The motion received a second from Robert Jean. With all in favor, the motion carried.

APPROVAL/DISAPPROVAL OF THE SEWER RATE INCREASE OF A FLAT $2.00 PER HOUSEHOLD AND $2.00 PER BUSINESS

After proper advertisement and having been presented for public hearing on May 10, 2011, Council Member Mark Wilkes made a motion to the sewer rate increase of a flat $2.00 per household and $2.00 per business. The motion received a second from Robert Jean. With all in favor, the motion carried.

PROPOSED CHANGE TO THE PERSONNEL MANUAL—ADDITION OF ITEM TO SECTION 8-3 GROUNDS FOR ACTION

Mayor Campbell said that it has been brought to her attention of adding to the personnel manual an addition that would read:

"Smoking during working hours will be prohibited for all Town employees. Employees may smoke during unpaid breaks only. Smoking is also prohibited in all Town buildings."

Councilperson Adams asked had the matter been brought to the attention of the employee and has there been any indication of improvement in correcting the concern. Mayor Campbell said it had been brought to the attention of the employee, and there had been some improvement. Discussion ensued about when employees took their breaks, and how would you know if they were on a break or not if you saw them smoking. Mr. Jean said that Brookneal was founded on tobacco and tobacco warehouses built this Town. He said smoking was a perfectly legal practice, and he didn't see anything wrong with smoking at the water plant while you were running a weed eater. Mr. Adams said he thought the situation could be addressed by the supervisor with the employee, and if some dramatic changes are not seen, then steps should be in place to take the issue further.

Councilperson Meisenbach made a motion to table the matter. She said it needs to be looked at, and there needs to be more clarification on wording. Mr. Adams said that it could be given to the personnel committee to look at and bring back to the Council. Mr. Jean seconded Ms. Meisenbach's motion to table the issue and send it to the finance and planning committee. The motion was unanimously carried.
