Veteran Supervisor R. E. "Dickie" Abbott advised his fellow board members that to the best of his recollection, salaries for Supervisors had not been increased since 1976. The resolution was passed on a unanimous 7-0 vote (ED#5 Supervisor James Edmunds was absent from the Monday night meeting.)
In other business the Board voted to hold a public hearing on the nearly completed countywide Comprehensive Plan in the near future, although not setting a definite date as yet. ED#4 Supervisor noted the utmost importance of the Plan, which he said will have a significant effect on the future growth of the County. "I can't stress strongly enough the importance of our citizens' input on this plan, and I hope that people will understand its significance on land use across the county, " Bowman said.
Members of the County Improvement Council presented the Supervisors with a plaque of appreciation for their support in helping to clean up the county and help with recycling. Council members also recognized one of their own, Mary F. Dixon of ED#3 who has served on the Improvement Council for the past 34 years.
Supervisors made several appointments including naming Carlyle Wimbish to the Southside Community Services Board and Tommy Reagan to the Regional Library Board to fill the seat vacated by the late Josephine Marshall. They also named Mrs. Jo Wimbish to the Library Board and Catherine Howard to fill the slot formerly held by Tom Kluge whose term expires this month.
