210 Mr. John Pezzoli, Chairman of the School Board, stated that he felt that the reasons offered by the Schools as possible reasons for the test results were relevant explanations, not excuses Mr. Jim Dunbar, Director of Administrative Support Services, stated that the Schools will be required to develop a management plan for the inspection, maintenance and eventual removal of all asbestos from school buildings. Mr. Dunbar estimated that approximately $1.2 million will be needed for asbestos removal in the next five to six year period, noting that $300,000 is currently budgeted in the Five Year Capital Project Plan for this purpose. Mr. Dunbar stated that other options for funding the asbestos removal would be to defer the removal until the end of the five year period, or to seek funds from sources other than the Capital Projects fund. Mr. Joel Loving, an asbestos consultant from the University of Virginia, stated that there is no federal funding available for asbestos removal and that State funding is questionable. Mr. Loving stated that there is no time limit for removing all asbestos., but noted that it would be less expensive to remove all the asbestos as soon as possible rather than constantly inspecting and maintaining the asbestos that exists. Mr. Buck recommended that the School Board reconsider its priorities for the Five Year Capital Projects Plan in order to fund the removal of the asbestos. ~ ~he ~eeting was adjourned~ ~ Pres~en~ COUNCIL CHAMBER - October 17, 1988 Council met in regular session on this date with the following members present: Mr. Buck, Rev.
