The City of Charlottesville considered reverting to a town within the Albemarle County in the 1990s. Reversion is one of the limited circumstances under which the City-County Revenue Sharing Agreement can be terminated.
"During the 1990s, the city considered reversion, a state-sanctioned method of uniting the city and county. Reversion to town status was an approach to helping local governments that the state legislature had passed in 1989. If a city reverted to town status, the new town would be legally a part of the county, instead of a separate entity. Thus the town schools would be supported by county revenue making the Index moot; other departments might be combined to save money."[ref 1]
