Unanimously.

            Mayor Purdham recognized Mike Salvino, representing
William Kibler Library, to speak about the Bill Kibler Collection.  Mr. Salvino said that the University of
Virginia (UVA) has shown interest in the Bill Kibler collection.  This collection of books, journals, and
photos is still being stored in totes in the vault at the library.  The Library board would like to see the Bill
Kibler collection utilized to maximize its benefit.    The William Kibler Library doesn’t have
room for its display and does not have resources to protect the collection from
wear over time.  The Library has been in
contact with UVA and UVA is interested in taking the full collection.  UVA will digitize what they feel are the most
beneficial writings and photos and do what needs to be done to preserve the
rest of the collection. It would be too costly digitize all the
collection.  For UVA to accept the Bill
Kibler collection, the Town of Stanley will have to turn over ownership of the
entire collection.  This will have to be
included in a letter of acceptance of the agreement.  The Library feels it is the right thing to do
and needs the Town’s approval.  Council
Knight asked if there is any legal obligation to keep the Kibler
Collection.  The Mr. Pettit noted that we
only had the obligation to preserve the collection.  Mr. Salvino thanked the council for their
time.  Mayor Purdham asked for a motion
to agree to pass ownership of the Bill Kibler Collection from the Town of
Stanley to the University of Virginia.

            Mayor Purdham asked if there were any questions on the
Financial Statement or Paywarrant. 
Councilman Knight asked if the police checkbook balance was the same as
the Century Station Checkbook.  Mr. Stout
noted that it was an error.  The balance
of the police checkbook should be $3,450.00. 
The balance of the total checkbooks would be $ 142,361.56.  The total balance of the financial statement
would now be $323,213.39.  Councilman
Knight has questions on Bill #12, DR’s Quickstop.  Mr. Stout noted that it was for 2 months.  Bill # 6, Breeden’s Auto.  Chief Foster noted that there was a lot of problems
that were found on car 203 while repairing something else.  Prepaids 
# 20, Page-Luray Chamber, if that was the amount donated because he
didn’t think we gave that much.  Mr.
Pettit noted that we normally give $750, but we haven’t given in a few years.  We did budget a $ 1,000 for the Chamber last
year.  Bill # 47, Valley Automation, the
website maintenance was so high.  Mr.
Pettit noted that it was for a few months maintenance and for annual

Maintenance fee.  Councilman Knight noted
that he saw an SVEC on the Prepaids as well as the Paywarrant.  Mr. Stout said that the SVEC bill came too
late last month to put on last month’s Paywarrant.   Councilman

reports.  Mr. Pettit Noted that the
Finance committee met before the meeting.

WORKSHOP
MEETING

Stanley Town Office

Wednesday, June 22, 2011, 7:00 pm.

Vice-Mayor Rickard called the workshop
meeting to order due to the absence of Mayor Purdham. Council Members attending
this workshop were as follows: Mike Knight, Bruce Stoneberger, Richard Dorraugh
and Martha Graves.  Also in attendance were
Town Manager Terry Pettit, Jill Keihn with the Northern Shenandoah Planning
Commission and Clerk Norma Cubbage.

Ms. Keihn noted she was here to
up-date the body on the Regional Drought Ordinance which was mandated by the
State.  Ms. Keihn noted the ordinance was
in the beginning stages and further noted that the town was in good shape with excellent
water sources. Ms. Keihn noted a public hearing will be needed for the
ordinance. Ms. Keihn noted the plan will need to be reviewed every 5 years and
resubmitted every 10 years. Ms. Keihn noted there are 20 localities in this
region and will be collecting data from years 2002, 2003 and 2008. Ms. Keihn
noted the goals of the Water Supply Plan was to provide adequate water
balancing for future growth in environmental protection and to establish a
process for wise use of our water. Ms. Keihn noted the public would be involved
in the decision process, helping identify alternate water sources. Ms. Keihn
noted that with the good water sources the Town of Stanley has there is a very
good possibility that in 20-30 years the town will probably be approached by another
town about buying water. Ms. Keihn noted some of the plan components are as
follows: existing water sources, existing water usage, water management
actions, drought response actions and triggers for stage. Ms. Keihn discussed
the drought ordinance further with the Council and Town Manager Terry Pettit
noted the public hearing will be held July 13^th at the Town Office
at 7:15 pm. before the Council Meeting.

            Town
Manager Terry Pettit noted next on the Agenda was discussion on the Line of
Duty Act. Mr. Pettit noted he was informed that the County will pay all the
fees for the firefighters and rescue squad members in Page County for the Line
of Duty Act coverage. Mr. Pettit noted we had been told previously that each
town would have to pay a portion of the premium due to cuts in the county’s
budget. Council noted this was good news for the towns. Mr. Pettit noted we had
researched the Line of Duty Act further and found that we had not been given
all the details and we would be able to get coverage through VML for our
officers. Mr. Pettit noted coverage through VML is cheaper than through VRS.
Clerk Norma Cubbage advised the body the need to adopt the attached Resolution
to Opt-Out-of VRS LODA to be able to go with VML. Motion was made by Mike
Knight, seconded by Martha Graves to adopt the attached Resolution. Passed
Unanimously.

company hired to renovate the pool was to begin the work in May, then the first

had all kind of excuses for the delay such as flooding at their business and medical
emergencies. Mr. Short noted they finally arrived late on the 10^th
of June andbegan work the next day. Mr. Short noted as of today
(June 22^nd) the pool is about ¾ done. Mr. Short stated the weather

noted they did work long hours. Mr. Short further noted
they hoped to have it completed by the weekend.

Mr. Short noted it has been a
mess from the beginning with first the delay then the color and the texture of
the liner.  Mr. Short stated the color
council picked out is not the color we received.  Mr. Short then noted he and Terry Pettit
talked numerous times with this company about the mix-up but this is what we
have ended up with.  Both Mr. Short and
Mr. Pettit stated they fell we need to negotiate with the company about some
deduction on the final payment due to our loss of revenue.  Mr. Short also stated we would need to adjust
our pool pass rate due to late opening.

Mr. Short left the meeting at
8:27 pm.
