Demographic
and Economic
Indicators
Changes in population
Between 1970 and 2010, the population
of Roanoke County grew by 37%, rising
from around 67,000 to about 92,000.
Over the same period, the Region grew
by only 31%, indicating that Roanoke
County outpaced the Region. The rapid
population growth coincided with
national trends like suburbanization,
while also being influenced by new
economic opportunities in industries
such as the health care, manufacturing,
and the professional services sector. To
accommodate this growth in population,
new housing units were created across
the county.

Population by age
Population by age is one way to look at
the demographic makeup of a
community and understand how
changes in age and life stages may be
driving demand for housing. Roanoke
County is experiencing an aging of its
population through the attrition of
middle-aged residents ages 35 to 54.
These age cohorts are often important
to a community's economy and housing
market as they are of working age, may
be more likely to own a home, and may
have children in the school system.

Shifts in educational levels
As jobs have changed over time, the
skill sets needed for new employment
opportunities required higher levels of
education. Looking at changes in
educational attainment over time shows
Roanoke County's population with
master's and professional or doctoral
degrees increased by 3% and 27%,
respectively. At the same time there was
a decrease in the high school equivalent
population. This may indicate new
residents who are filling jobs in the
county are more highly educated as a
requirement of those jobs, and/or the
county is able to retain some of the
residents who are graduating from area
colleges to fill jobs in the Region.

Changes in household
composition
Household size is an important
consideration as it provides insight and
an understanding of what types of
housing units are needed to
accommodate today's residents and
those who may choose to locate here in
the future. While many households in
Roanoke County are one- and two -
person households, some changes in
household size have occurred over the
past five years. Four -person family
households decreased by 4% between
2013 and 2018, and 2 -person family
households have increased by 2% over
the same period. Similarly, the number
of non -family households with two
persons grew by 393, an increase of
30%.
RVARC/ Roanoke County -Wide Housing Study
Changes in household income
Looking at the distribution of
households by income over the last five
years shows the county experiencing a
loss of households with incomes below
$50,000. Of households making less
than $50,000, there was a 14%
decrease within the cohort earning
between $15,000 and $25,000 per year.
While the county is losing households at
the lower end of the income spectrum, it
is gaining households earning more than
$100,000 per year. The increase of
higher income households can be
explained in part by the expansion of
higher paying industry sectors.
Employers in this sector have a range of
employees at various income levels, and
those hired as skilled manufacturers,
engineers, and managers tend to have
higher earnings because of the premium
associated with their skills and
education.

Changes in the industrial
economy
Between 2020 and 2029, Roanoke
County is projected to see modest
employment growth in Health Care and
Social Assistance (1,530 jobs),
Professional Services (779 jobs), and
Manufacturing (422 jobs). Jobs in these
industry sectors generally pay good
wages which tend to outpace other
industry sectors.
The largest losses are projected to occur
in the Finance and Insurance Sectors with
a decline of 329 jobs. The key difference
in the future is that the average wage
differential between the top jobs gained
versus lost will expand. The average
wage of top growth sectors is $57,508
while the average wage of the top
declining sectors is $51,669. This may
indicate that some employees in the
future may have addition income than
those jobs today which could translate
into purchasing power for housing.
RVARC/ Roanoke County -Wide Housing Study
Employment patterns
In Roanoke County, there are a total of
29,935 jobs which is inclusive of both
private and government employment. Of
that total, 22,265 people come from
outside the county to work, while 7,670
live and work within the county. Aside
from those working within the county,
approximately 27,766 residents travel
outside the county for employment,
making it a net exporter of labor. The
large number of people leaving the
county for jobs can be explained by the
proximity of large employers in the City
of Roanoke, City of Salem, and Franklin
County.

Roanoke Valley -Alleghany
REGIONAL
commission
• Year Built and Housing Unit Growth — Between 1970 and 2010, the number of housing units in Roanoke County grew by 88%, rising from
21,300 to about 40,000. The rapid growth coincided with both population and household growth in the county.
• Building Permit Activity - On average, Roanoke County permitted 155 new single family detached housing units per year since 2010. Over the
same period, the county also issued an average of 39 building permits per year for multifamily units in duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, and
buildings with five or more units.
• Housing Tenure - As of 2018, 70% of the county's housing stock was owner -occupied while 24% was renter -occupied. The county's housing
stock is skewed more toward ownership than the Region where only 60% of housing units are owner occupied.
• Units in Structure - most of the residential building stock is comprised of single family detached units. As of 2018, 81% of the county's
residential stock was single family homes.
• Owner -Occupied Housing Market
Supply - Between 2013 and 2018, there was a loss of 695 owner -occupied housing units in Roanoke County, many of which were
converted from ownership units to rental units.
Pricing - In 2018, the median value of an owner -occupied housing unit in Roanoke County was $194,800. While prices for owner -
occupied units have risen, 53% of the county's owner -occupied housing stock is still valued at less than $200,000
indicating some homes valued within the reach of households making the county median income.
Second Home Market - While the Region attracts nature lovers, retirees, and those looking for more space and recreational
opportunities, the second home market in Roanoke County is not as strong as the Region. Only 15% of
vacant housing units are classified as Seasonal which accounts for 367 units. While there are some
second homes/seasonal units in the county, the total number of seasonal units does not distort pricing
associated with the year-round housing market.
RVARC/ Roanoke County -Wide Housing Study
Barriers & Issues
Roanoke county Housing Market statistics (cont'd)
• Renter -Occupied Housing Market
Supply - In 2018 only 26% of the county's households were renters, with 38% of rental units in single family homes, 61% in multi-
unit structures, and 2% of units in mobile homes. Compared to the region where only 52% of rental housing is in
multifamily units, Roanoke County has a larger share of these types of rental units which can offer lower costs, less
maintenance, and a variety of housing types.
Pricing - In 2018, the median gross rent in the county was $949 which was an increase of 15% from 2013. Gross rent is a
measure of the monthly contract rent plus an estimated average utility cost paid by the renter. Utilities factored in
include electric, gas, water, sewer, and fuel.
Affordable Rental Units - In addition to market rate rental units, there are four apartment complexes in the county which have
income restricted affordable units. As of 2020, the county has 332 low-income rental apartment units,
of which 332 of the tenants receive rental assistance. The median rent in these units is $872.
Roanoke Valley -Alleghany
REGIONAL
commission
• Future Housing Demand - The population of Roanoke County is projected to grow by 2,906 (3%) new residents between 2018 and 2025,.
RKG Associates developed a methodology for calculating the number of new households based on the increase in population which then
translates into estimates for future housing demand. RKG assumes that future household composition and housing tenure will follow a
similar pattern today and used household sizes and tenure splits to allocate future household growth.
To accommodate the increase in population projected for 2025, the county may need to produce an additional 940 housing units over current
amounts. This assumes current housing vacancy rates continue to hold steady, as well as current split of 74% owner -occupied and 26%
renter occupied units. Under these assumptions, the county would need to add another 696 owner -occupied housing units and 244 renter -
occupied units.

• Affordability Analysis — Rapid growth in housing prices coupled with slow
growth, if not declines, in incomes contributes to a housing affordability
problem known as housing cost burden. HUD defines housing cost burden
as the condition in which households spend more than 30% of their gross
income on housing. When low- or moderate -income households are
spending more than 50% of their income on housing costs, they are
severely housing cost burdened.
In Roanoke County, only 13% of all households are considered cost
burdened under HUD's definition and 10% are considered severely cost
burdened. This is very similar to the Region with 14% of households are
considered cost burdened and 12% are severely cost burdened.
• Affordability Mismatch - Given that about 46% of all owner households in
the county earn at or above 120% of AMI, there is a shortage of units
priced to what those households could technically afford. Many homes
across the county are valued between $100,000 and $200,000 making the
ownership market more affordable to a wider range of incomes.

BARRIERS AND
ISSUES

Market, financial, regulatory, and coordination barriers
Roanoke Valley -Alleghany
REGIONAL
commission
• Reduction in Local Building Capacity — A large impact of the Great Recession that continues today is the reduction in local building capacity as
there are only a few larger sized developers within the Region.
• Decline in 35 to 44-Yyear Old Population — Between 2013 and 2018, the number of residents between the ages of 35 and 44 decreased by
10%, which is slightly greater than the regional trend.
• Lack of Diversity in Housing Types — The predominate housing type for both renters and owners in Roanoke County are single family homes
and multifamily homes.
• Rehab and Acquisition - Rehabilitation of the older housing stock is difficult to execute because it requires a concerted effort on the part of
homeowners, the availability of financing, and coordinated efforts by municipal officials.
• Development Feasibility — The financial feasibility of revitalizing and redeveloping older areas, building on in -fill lots, or undertaking new
greenfield/subdivision development is a major barrier.
• County/State/Federal Resources — Funding to support housing programs and initiatives is limited in many cases to those available through
local taxation or development fees, state funding dedicated to housing, tax credit programs, and federal housing programs like Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) or HOME funds.
• Lending Criteria and Access to Financing — Homebuyers are challenged by increasing levels of personal debt, diminished savings, and stricter
lending requirements by financial institutions due to the housing crisis.

Barriers & Issues
Market, financial, regulatory, and coordination barriers (cont'd)
• County Zoning Ordinance — The County's Zoning Ordinance currently offers property owners quite a bit of flexibility from a residential
perspective, including allowing a range of housing types to be built.
Roanoke Valley -Alleghany
REGIONAL
commission
• Restrictions on Dense Development - Multifamily and townhouses are allowed by special permit from the Board of Supervisors and have
additional regulations in the AV district per Article IV of Roanoke's Zoning Ordinance which outlines additional design and use standards for
specific uses in some districts.
• Adaptive Reuse and Code Compliance — Adapting older buildings to meet today's building codes and accessibility requirements can be very
expensive, particularly for those buildings that could host a mix of uses.
• Identify Funding Sources — To address housing issues identified in this study, additional funding sources are going to be needed.
• Regional Collaboration — Over the last two decades, private corporations such as financial institutions, major employers, and anchor
institutions such as hospitals and universities have played an increasingly important role in improving and expanding affordable housing.

• Use zoning as a tool to incentivize housing diversity and choice. Broaden allowable residential uses across more residential zoning districts
and integrate typologies like missing middle housing in more areas. Look for opportunities to incorporate creative residential uses like upper -
story activation in downtowns, accessory dwelling units, transfer of development rights, and cluster zoning as an infill strategy.
• Create a regional housing coordinating body that can meet regularly to discuss housing issues and opportunities, advocate for funding and
grants, weigh in on legislation, market to developers, coordinate funding resources, and educate the public.
• Create market materials advertising the preeminent development sites to the development community and make a determined effort to
market the County and the sites to developers.
• Disposing of available County -owned properties to support housing production, particularly mixed -income or affordable housing, can be an
effective way of partnering with developers to address housing needs.
• Prioritize the best locations for housing development in the near-term. Focus efforts on unlocking those sites, particularly ones already served
by public infrastructure.
• Consider entering developer negotiations (for new, larger scale residential development) to secure dedicated affordable units as a percentage
of total units in the development.
• Create affordable housing trust funds to collect, leverage, and distribute money toward affordable housing projects.
• Focus resources on owner and renter residential rehabilitation programs. Older housing needs modernization to help existing households and
those who may be looking to move to the region.

regulatory, policy & coordination, financing, and infrastructure Strategies (cont'd)
• Encourage (at a minimum) some percentage of new units to include universal design features. Universal design focuses on making the unit
safe and accessible for everyone, regardless of age or physical ability.
• Encourage affordable housing development through the application of property tax abatements in return for a percentage of affordable
housing units included in the development.
• Coordinate regional investments in infrastructure to both open up new sites for residential development and strengthen the market position
of existing developed areas that could accommodate more housing.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: April 13, 2021
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution approving the Roanoke County Public Schools
(RCPS) budget for fiscal year 2021-2022 upon certain terms
and conditions
SUBMITTED BY: Daniel R. O'Donnell
County Administrator
APPROVED BY: Daniel R. O'Donnell
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Resolution to approve the annual budget for Roanoke County Public Schools.
BACKGROUND:
State Code 22.1-93 requires the governing body of a County to prepare and approve an
annual budget for education purposes by May 15 or within thirty (30) days of the receipt
of the County of the estimates of state funds, whichever shall later occur.
DISCUSSION:
The Roanoke County Public Schools (RCPS) School Board approved their fiscal year
2021-2022 budget on March 25, 2021. Attached is a copy of the fiscal year 2021-2022
Roanoke County Public Schools Operating Budget. As a formality, the Roanoke County
Board of Supervisors will need to approve the resolution for the budget, however this
does not authorize the spending of funds until such time as the appropriation ordinance
is approved. This approval is scheduled for May 11, 2021.
The table below summarizes the budget for each RCPS fund. A comparison of the fiscal
year 2021-2022 budget to the fiscal year 2020-2021 approved RCPS budget is
provided.

* Fiscal year 2021-2022 includes $9.75 million projected from the American Rescue
Plan Act, which will not be appropriated as part of the fiscal year 2021-2022 budget.
Mike Wray, RCPS School Board Vice -Chairman; Dr. Kenneth Nicely, RCPS
Superintendent; and Mrs. Susan Peterson, Director of Finance will attend the Board of
Supervisors meeting to present the RCPS budget.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Per the revenue sharing agreement with RCPS, the County Administrator's proposed
fiscal year 2021-2022 Operating Budget included a transfer in the amount of
$71,821,490 for RCPS operations as part of the Schools General Fund.
The appropriation of RCPS funds net of the American Rescue Plan Act totals
$199,476,263 and will occur as part of the adoption of the fiscal year 2021-2022 budget
ordinances.
Approximately $9.75 million from the American Rescue Plan Act will be brought to the
Roanoke County Board of Supervisors as a separate item to be appropriated at a later
date.

FROM: James F. Lane, Ed.D., Superintendent of Public Instruction
SUPT'S EMAIL: American Rescue Plan Act - ESSER III 90 Percent LEA Awards
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was signed into law on March 11, 2021. Virginia's ARPA
Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) III award was $2.1 billion, with 90
percent of this award to be distributed to local educational agencies (LEAs) based on each
LEA's relative share of Title I, Part A, Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2020 funds. Preliminary ESSER
III LEA allocations are attached. Final awards will be announced via Superintendent's Memo
following the official release of Virginia's grant award from the U.S. Department of Education
(USED).
The ARPA ESSER III Fund includes the allowable uses of funds specified under ESSER I and II
with the following changes:
• LEAs must reserve at least 20 percent of funds to address learning loss through the
implementation of evidence -based interventions and ensure that those interventions
respond to students' social, emotional, and academic needs and address the
disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on underrepresented student groups (each major
racial and ethnic group, children from low-income families, children with disabilities,
English learners, gender, migrant students, students experiencing homelessness, and
children and youth in foster care).
• Each LEA must, within 30 days of receiving ESSER III funds, make publicly available on
its website a plan for the safe return to in-person instruction and continuity of
services. Before making the plan publicly available, the LEA must seek public comment
on the plan. A school division's COVID-19 mitigation health plan may meet this
requirement provided that the plan reflects the division's current reopening plan and
is posted on the school division's website.
• As with ESSER II, ESSER III does not include equitable services provisions for non-public
schools. Instead, a separate Emergency Assistance for Non -Public Schools (EANS)
program is specified. The EANS program will be administered by the Virginia
Department of Education.
• The ARPA includes LEA maintenance of equity requirements for FFY 2022 and FFY
2023. As a condition of receiving ESSER III formula funds, LEAs may not reduce
per -pupil funding (from combined state and local funding) in FFY 2022 or FY 2023 for
any high -poverty school by an amount that exceeds the total reduction in LEA funding
for all schools served by the LEA divided by the number of children enrolled in all
schools served or reduce per -pupil, full-time equivalent staff in any high -poverty
school by an amount that exceeds the total reduction in full-time equivalent staff in
all schools divided by the number of children enrolled in all schools. USED has
indicated that it will provide additional guidance on these requirements in the near
future.
Additional information on the ESSER III application process and final notification of division
allocations will be provided next month via Superintendent's Memo. Additional information on
the LEA maintenance of equity requirement will be provided as soon as possible following the
release of additional information from USED.
For more information
Questions about ESSER III allocations or allowable uses of funds should be directed to

RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ROANOKE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS

CONDITIONS
WHEREAS, State Code 22.1-93 requires the governing body of a County to prepare
and approve an annual budget for education purposes by May 15 or within thirty (30) days
of the receipt by the County of the estimates of State funds, whichever shall later occur;
and
WHEREAS, the Roanoke County School Board approved their fiscal year 2021-
2022 budget on March 25, 2021; and
WHEREAS, as a formality, the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors will need to
approve the resolution for the budget, however this does not authorize the spending of
funds until such time as the appropriation ordinance is approved on May 11, 2021; and
WHEREAS, the appropriation of Roanoke County Public Schools funds net of the
American Rescue Plan Act totals $199,476,263, and will occur as part of the adoption of

ISSUE:
Resolution setting the allocation percentage for Personal
Property Tax Relief in Roanoke County for the 2021 tax year
Laurie Gearheart
Director of Finance and Management Services
Daniel R. O'Donnell
County Administrator
Establish the percentage for personal property tax relief in Roanoke County for the 2021
tax year
BACKGROUND:
The Personal Property Tax Relief Act (PPTRA or the Act) of 1998 established a State-
wide program to provide relief to owners of personal use motor vehicles. The Act
provides State funds to localities to reduce local government taxation of personal
property.
In 2004 and 2005, additional legislation was passed to amend the original Act. This
legislation capped PPTRA at $950 million for all Virginia localities for tax years 2006
and beyond. PPTRA funds are allocated to individual localities based on each
government's pro rata share of tax year 2004 payments from the Commonwealth. The
County's share of the $950 million is $12,229,857.
DISCUSSION:
The amount the County receives from the State has stayed constant since 2006.
However, the personal property tax base has continued to grow, which has caused less
of the personal property tax bill to be offset by PPTRA Funds.
The County uses the PPTRA Allocation Model developed by the State to calculate the
Page 1 of 2
effective reimbursement rate. This model uses historical trends and a five (5) -year
rolling average to calculate the effective reimbursement rate. The reimbursement rate
for Roanoke County citizens for the tax year 2021 is 52.28%.
The Board is required by the State to annually adopt a resolution setting the percentage
reduction in personal property for that year. The attached resolution establishes the
percentage at 52.28% for the 2021 tax year.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The percentage reduction is calculated to distribute the $12,229,857 block grant
allocation from the State in the manner described above. There will be some timing
delays in the receipt of the State funds since they are received in the following fiscal
year (2021-2022). However, we are allowed to accrue these funds back to the 2020-
2021 year for accounting purposes, therefore our budget will be balanced.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution, which establishes the
percentage reduction for personal property tax relief at 52.28% for Roanoke County for
the 2021 tax year.

RESOLUTION SETTING THE ALLOCATION PERCENTAGE FOR
PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX RELIEF IN ROANOKE COUNTY FOR
THE 2021 TAX YEAR
WHEREAS, in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 58.1-3524
(C) (2) and Section 58.1-3912 (E) of the Code of Virginia, 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 or "PPTRA") of Chapter 951 of the 2005 Acts of Assembly,
a qualifying vehicle (as defined in Section 58.1-3523 of the Code of Virginia) with a
taxable situs within the County commencing January 1, 2021, shall receive personal
property tax relief; and,
WHEREAS, this resolution is adopted pursuant to Ordinance 122005-10 adopted
by the Board of Supervisors on December 20, 2005.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, as follows:

ITEM NO. D.3
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: April 13, 2021
AGENDA ITEM:
Resolution authorizing the Roanoke Valley -Alleghany
Regional Commission to amend its Charter to reduce
membership requirements
SUBMITTED BY: Daniel R. O'Donnell
County Administrator
APPROVED BY: Daniel R. O'Donnell
County Administrator
ISSUE:
The Roanoke Valley -Alleghany Regional Commission (RVARC) is requesting that
member local governments approve a charter amendment to decrease the size of its
governing board from 38 members to 30. For the charter amendment to be approved all
member local governments must agree to this change.
BACKGROUND:
On February 25, 2021, the Regional Commission approved amendments to its Charter
that have the effect of reducing the size of the Commission from 38 members to 30
members. This action was taken based on the recommendations of a Restructuring
Committee which considered the goals of reducing the size of the Commission while
maintaining a minimum level of two representatives from each locality, one of whom
must me a member of the local governing body. The goal for reducing the size of the
Commission is to help promote better interaction among Commission members during
our meetings and to try to improve attendance at meetings. As a matter of interest,
currently our Commission has the second largest board size in Virginia (only the
Hampton Roads Planning District Commission has a larger number of board members).
Among the Regional Commissions in Virginia that have a similar population size to our
Regional Commission , the number of Commission members range from 23 to 27.
Attached to this Board Report is a report from the RVARC Restructuring Committee that
details the process used and rationale for this requested change and a red -lined version
Page 1 of 2
of the requested charter amendments.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact from the approval of the resolution.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

Report of the Restructuring Committee
Regional Commission Meeting January 28, 2021
SUBJ: Recommendations of the Restructuring Committee on Commission Board member Changes
In April of 2019, the Regional Commission board adopted the updated Strategic Plan, which called for
consideration of restructuring the Commission's membership. In February of 2020, the Commission
was presented with two alternative scenarios for reducing the number of members on the Board. At that
time, the staff was asked to look at other Regional Commission's in Virginia to see how their boards
were structured and report back; however, the impact of COVID-19 put the restructuring discussion on
hold, and it was not revisited until October of 2020. At that time, a small committee was formed to
review various options and provide a recommendation to the full Board at the January 2021
Commission meeting. The Chair asked the following Commission members to serve on the committee:
• Lee Osborne, Committee Chair (and former chair of the RVARC)
• Phil North (current Vice Chair of the RVARC)
• Bill Bestpitch (former Chair of the RVARC)
• Billy Martin (former Chair of the RVARC)
The Restructuring Committee met by Zoom in December of 2020 and January of 2021, assisted by
Wayne Strickland and Jeremy Holmes, to review the board size of peer Commissions, absentee and
attendance data of the Commission, and requirements of the Code of Virginia and the Commission's
Charter to assist in assessing and developing various options. Charts were prepared reflecting how the
RVARC compares to other PDC's around the Commonwealth in number of members and jurisdictions
represented. Five options were considered reflecting various membership rule changes ranging from
one member for each of the smaller population jurisdictions to simply capping the number of
representatives for any member jurisdiction.
Following the first meeting of the Committee, the committee selected two options and requested Wayne
and Jeremy to poll the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) of each member jurisdiction regarding his or
her preference or thoughts on those two options. Feedback from the eight jurisdictions that responded
reflected a desire to retain as much as possible the relative proportional representation of the larger
population jurisdictions while retaining a minimum of two representatives for all jurisdictions. In
addition, several CAO's suggested a desire for having the ability for a jurisdiction to designate one or
more alternates to be able to attend in lieu of an appointed member who is unable to attend.
In deciding on its recommendation, the Committee agreed on the following guiding principles:
• Strive to retain as much as possible the current relative representation of the larger and smaller
jurisdictions on the board as a proportion of their population in the region.
• Retain membership rules and thresholds that require the Commission to comply with Code of
Virginia requirements that the Board as a whole be comprised of a majority of elected officials.

• Provide the opportunity for each member jurisdiction to appoint its chief administrative official as
a Member of the Board, if desired, by having at least two representatives for each locality, one
of whom must be an elected official of the governing body of such local subdivision.
Current Board Membership Requirements
Under the current charter, every member government appoints 2 members, one who is an elected
official and one who is not elected. Thereafter, localities that have over 10,000 population appoint 1
additional member for each 25,000 population (or fraction thereof) as outlined below:
• The representative for the first 25,000 increment shall be an elected official
• The representative for the second 25,000 increment shall be a non -elected official
• The representative for the third 25,000 increment shall be an elected official
• The representative for the fourth 25,000 increment shall be a non -elected official
• Representatives for additional increments of 25,000 shall be alternated with an elected official
and followed by a non -elected official
The Charter also says that, in accordance with the Code of Virginia, the Board must be comprised of a
majority of elected officials from the governing body of respective member governments.

over 100,000, which is likely. This puts the Regional Commission's board size at the second largest in
Virginia, behind only Hampton Roads.
This representation is reflected in the current Charter language, Article II Section 1, below:
The membership of the Roanoke Valley -Alleghany Regional Commission shall be composed of
representatives of the member governmental subdivisions, on the basis of one member from the
governing body of each governmental subdivision and also, one representative who holds no
office elected by the people in that government. In addition, each governmental subdivision with
population in excess of 10,000 shall appoint one representative for each 25,000 population or
fraction thereof. The representative for the first 25,000 increment shall be a member of the
governing body. The representative of the second 25,000 increment shall be a person who does
not hold an office elected by the people. Thereafter the continual increments shall be alternated
so that at least a majority, but not substantially more than a majority, of the Commission
members shall be elected officials of the governing bodies of the governmental subdivisions. In
determining the population of counties, the numerical total shall be exclusive of participating
towns who have a population of three thousand, five hundred; said towns are eligible to have at
least two representatives.
Recommended Commission Membership Requirements
The Restructuring Committee recommends the Board implement the following changes to the Board
membership requirements:
• Every member government appoints 2 members, at least one of whom is an elected official of
the governing body.
• Localities with populations between 25,000 and 50,000 appoint 1 additional member who must
be an elected official of the governing body, for a total of 3.
• Localities with populations over 50,000 appoint 1 additional member who may be, but does not
have to be, a non -elected official, for a total of 4, provided the membership of the Commission
complies with the Code of Virginia requirement that a majority of the Commission members as a
whole must be elected officials from the governing bodies of the member localities.

""" Diff: The difference between the proposed membership numbers and current membership numbers.
These membership rules reflect the following changes:
• Specify that the elected official appointed to the board must be a member of the "governing
body" of the jurisdiction, a distinction that is not necessarily clear in the current Charter. This
would preclude Constitutional Officers and other officials elected by the citizens of a jurisdiction
from being appointed to the Board.
• Remove the provision for additional members when a locality's population increases beyond
100,000, capping the maximum number of representatives from a member locality at 4.
• Results in a total board membership of 30.
The following is draft Charter language to reflect the recommended change:
The membership of the Roanoke Valley -Alleghany Regional Commission shall be composed of
representatives of the member governmental subdivisions, on the basis of two members from
each governmental subdivision, at least one of whom is an elected member of the governing
body of the subdivision. In addition, each governmental subdivision with population in excess of
25,000 and less than 50,000 shall appoint one additional member who must be an elected
official of the governing body of the subdivision. Each governmental subdivision with a
population in excess of 50,000 shall further appoint one additional member, who may but need
not be an elected official of the governing body of the subdivision, provided that at least a
majority, but not substantially more than a majority, of the Commission members shall be
elected officials of the governing bodies of the governmental subdivisions. In determining the
population of counties, the numerical total shall be exclusive of participating towns who have a
population of three thousand, five hundred; said towns are eligible to have at least two
representatives.
Alternate Memberships
In addition to the Board size change, the Restructuring Committee was asked to consider adding
provisions to the Charter to allow for alternate members when an appointed member must be absent.

The Committee is recommending the Board consider amending the charter to add a new Section
allowing an option for alternate members to be appointed by the governing body, preferably when
regular members are appointed. Alternate members would be listed on the membership rolls of the
Commission and would be provided all meeting materials in case they are to be an attending member.
Note that the appointment of an alternate member is optional for each locality, and an alternate need
not be appointed for each member from that jurisdiction.
Draft language for the new Article II, Section 6 in the Charter follows:
Each governmental subdivision of the Commission shall have the option of appointing an
alternate member. An alternate member shall receive notice of all meetings of the Commission
and, if such alternate is designated for one particular member, of all meetings of committees of
which the appointed member is a part and shall be entitled to attend and vote at any such
meeting at which the appointed member is not personally present. When appointing alternates
for an elected official of the governing body, the governmental subdivision must appoint an
elected member of the same governing body.
Next Steps
If the Board chooses to adopt the recommendations of the Restructuring Committee, the amended
Charter will need to be submitted to each local government member of the Regional Commission to be
voted upon and approved by its governing body. Changes to the Charter must be approved by all
member jurisdictions.
Regional Commission Action: Approve the recommended changes to the Board membership
requirements.

SUBJECT: Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act -
ESSER II 90 Percent LEA Awards
The Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act Elementary
and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) II Fund allocations for each school division
are attached (Attachment B). The allocations are based on each school division's relative share
of Title I, Part A, Federal Fiscal Year 2020 funds. Attachment A contains the Additional
Required Special Terms and Conditions for Grant Awards or Cooperative Agreements. The
terms of the grant award are provided in Attachment C.
The CRRSA Act includes all allowable uses of ESSER funds specified under the CARES Act.
The additional uses of funds included in the CRRSA Act are also allowable under the CARES
Act ESSER Fund. A list of allowable uses of funds is provided in Attachment D.
The CRRSA Act does not include equitable services provisions under the ESSER II Fund.
Instead, a separate funding stream under the Governor's Emergency Education Relief (GEER) II
Fund is specified for services for non-public schools. The application process for equitable
services under the GEER II Fund will be administered by the Virginia Department of Education.
Additional guidance on this process, to include whether school divisions will have a role in the
administration of services for non-public schools under the GEER II Fund, is anticipated from
the U.S. Department of Education in the near future.
Fiscal records in the Online Management of Education Grant Awards (OMEGA) application
available on the Single Sign -on for Web Systems portal indicate that the majority of divisions
have 100 percent of CARES Act ESSER formula funds remaining. Prior to requesting
reimbursement for CRRSA ESSER II funds, school divisions must have expended and requested
reimbursement through OMEGA for all CARES Act ESSER formula funds excluding funds
reserved for equitable services.

ISSUE:
Ordinance accepting and appropriating Virginia Preschool
Initiative grant expansions in the amount of $99,745.73 to
the Roanoke County Public Schools' Grant Fund for fiscal
year 2020-2021
Laurie Gearheart
Director of Finance and Management Services
Daniel R. O'Donnell
County Administrator
Approval of and appropriation of $99,745.73 to the Public Schools' Grant Fund for fiscal
year 2020-2021
BACKGROUND:
On June 10, 2020, Governor Ralph Northam announced that through the federal
Governor's Emergency Education Relief (GEER) Fund $10 million will be used to
expand early childhood education and child care programs in the Commonwealth,
especially for children with academic and social -emotional needs. These funds will help
restore the Virginia Preschool Initiative ("VPI") expansions and enhancements that were
unalloted in the revised 2020 State budget. Since these amounts were unallocated at
the State level, they were removed from the school division's original budget when it
was revised downward for the pandemic.
DISCUSSION:
The Community Provider Add -On Award of $7,500 represents an award of $1,500 each
for five (5) at -risk three to four (3-4) year olds who are attending a community -provider
facility as a VPI student. The funds will be used to pay for the tuition of the students at
the facility.
Page 1 of 2
Pilot Slots for Serving Three (3) -year olds will increase access for at -risk three (3) -year
olds to high-quality preschool programs so that more Virginia children can access a
quality, two (2) -year preschool experience that prepares them for kindergarten. The
school division was awarded $92,245.73 for the State share of 23 students participating
in this program. There is a local match of $53,252.27, which will be funded from the
Roanoke County Public Schools local general funds. The funds will be used to provide
services for these students in the Roanoke County Public Schools preschool classes.
These grant funds were approved by the Roanoke County School Board on their
consent agenda at their April 8, 2021 meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total allocation of $99,745.73 exceeds the remaining grant contingency and will
increase the overall balance in the Roanoke County Public Schools grant fund, with the
local match being in the local general funds.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the first reading of the ordinance to accept and
appropriate funds for $99,745.73 and scheduling the second reading for April 27, 2021.

Dr. Ken Nicely

Roanoke, Virginia 24019
Dear Dr. Nicely:
Thank you for your recent VPI Spring Application for the 2020-2021 school year. We have reviewed your school
division's application. The purpose of this letter is to confirm your division's number of allocated VPI slots and
participation in any of the new VPI expansions and enhancements (redistribution of slots, requested waitlist slots,
community provider add-on, and pilot for three -year-olds).
On June 10, 2020, Governor Ralph Northam announced that through the federal Governor's Emergency Education Relief
(GEER) Fund $10 million will be used to expand early childhood education and child care programs in the
Commonwealth, especially for children with academic and social -emotional needs. These funds will help restore the VPI
expansions and enhancements that were unalloted in the revised 2020 state budget. Please see the enclosed VPI Slots and
Enhancements/Expansions Table showing the number of allocated VPI slots your division has committed to filling and if
your division committed to participation in any of the enhancements or expansion efforts. The great news is that all school
divisions that submitted requests to expand and enhance their VPI programs will have their requests granted.
I wanted to share this information with you as quickly as possible so that you can continue to plan and take action for
serving children in your VPI classrooms as soon as possible. This means that more of your community's most vulnerable
children, some of the most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, will have the opportunity to enter kindergarten ready
for school and to fulfill their potential.
If you have questions, please contact Dr. Mark R. Allan, Associate Director of PreK Programs, by email at

Sincerely,
Chief School Readiness Officer

AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance appropriating funds in the amount of $536,030 for
a rural broadband project with Cox Communications
SUBMITTED BY: Daniel R. O'Donnell
County Administrator
APPROVED BY: Daniel R. O'Donnell
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Appropriate funds in the amount of $536,030 for a rural broadband initiative with Cox
Communications
BACKGROUND:
The Rural Broadband Initiative project was planned to improve communication and data
technology in both the business sector and in residential settings. The County collected
survey data to identify areas where citizens either do not have or have inadequate internet
service. The study data was analyzed to evaluate the next steps in improving high-speed
internet across Roanoke County.
Our rural broadband initiative conforms to the Community's Strategic Plan's to Connect
Roanoke County to the World.
DISCUSSION:
In August 2020, Cox Communications was selected through a competitive request for
proposal process to partner with Roanoke County in applying for a Virginia
Telecommunications Initiative (VATI) grant, to support rural broadband expansion.
Although the application was not awarded a grant through the VATI program, there is
still an opportunity for Cox Communications and Roanoke to Partner together on the
expansion of broadband to the areas designated in the proposal.

The project would bring internet access to over 300 homes in the Windsor Hills, Cave
Spring and Catawba districts. The area plans include:
- Bent Mountain- Bisected by Bottom Creek Road; 108 addresses unserved; 8 home
based businesses
- Bradshaw Road Area -Bisected by Bradshaw Road; 131 addresses unserved; 13 home
based businesses
- Cove Hollow Road -Bisected by Cove Hollow Road; 32 addresses unserved
- Starlight Lane Area- Bisected by Starlight Lane; 44 addresses unserved; 5 home based
businesses
Each individual project may take approximately 3-6 months to complete. The timeline
estimates are not consecutive; these projects can be completed simultaneously as
resources allow. The final completion of all projects areas can be completed within an
18 month time period from the time of contractual agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total broadband project cost is $3,002,335. By leveraging grant and other funds for
this project, the total of Roanoke County's appropriated local funds for the project totals
$500,000.
Other funding sources for the project include: Cox Communications financial
commitment of $786,427 and previously appropriated funds for broadband totaling
$1,179,878 from reimbursed public safety costs an eligible expense of the Cornnavirus
Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES Act 2020).
The remaining funds needed to complete the project totals $536,030. Funds are
available in the General Fund and were the result of reimbursed Public Safety costs
from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES Act 2020).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the first reading and scheduling the second reading for
April 27, 2021.

County Attorney
Daniel R. O'Donnell
County Administrator
At present, Section 7-62 of the Roanoke County Code is in Conflict with the Uniform
Statewide Building Code (USBC). Section 7-62 of the County Code presently requires
that appeals of determinations made by the County Building Commissioner be
submitted within ten (10) days. However, Section 119.5 of the USBC states that appeals
of determinations made by a building commissioner be submitted within thirty (30) days
of the receipt of the decision being appealed.
BACKGROUND:
The Roanoke County Building Commissioner is charged with enforcing the Uniform
Statewide Building Code (USBC), as it has been adopted by the County.
When a person is aggrieved by a determination made by the Building Commissioner,
the person may appeal the determination to the local board of building code appeals
(LBBCA).
DISCUSSION:
It is proposed that the County Code be updated to be consistent with the USBC, to
require that appeals be submitted to the LBBCA within 30 calendar days of the receipt
of the decision being appealed.

Ordinance authorizing the granting of a new thirty foot (30') drainage easement to the
Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County on property owned by the William
Livingston Whitwell Revocable Trust, Tax Map No. 027.12-06-02.00-0000 for the

stress can impair the development of nervous and immune systems; and

our prosperity as a state and nation is built on a foundation of healthy

WHEREAS, child abuse prevention creates a more compassionate society, one which
places a high value on the welfare of children; and

resources to address the social, emotional and physical health of their
children is the best way to combat child abuse; and
WHEREAS, effective child abuse prevention programs succeed because of
partnerships among families, social service agencies, schools, faith
communities, civic organizations, law enforcement agencies, and the
business community; and
