Accordingly, in prior years, the County's reduced rate has provided a Page 1 of 3 further degree of relief to owners of qualifying vehicles that exceeded the exact amount received by the Commonwealth as reimbursement; and WHEREAS, in recognition of the unprecedented increase in personal property values attributable to continued disruptions in supply chains resulting from the COVID- 19 pandemic and current higher inflation, the Board desires to provide additional relief to owners of qualifying vehicles by further decreasing the reduced tax rate that is applied to the vehicles' first $20,000 of value, recognizing that reimbursement from the Commonwealth will again be less than the amount of relief provided; and WHEREAS, based on the Commissioner of Revenue's preliminary estimates of personal property receipts for tax year 2023, and based upon prior practice in setting the reduced tax rate pursuant to the PPTRA, the County's Finance and Management Services Department originally proposed to reduce the rate of taxation of the first $20,000 of qualifying vehicles by 44.98%; and WHEREAS, the Board desires to increase the amount of relief by reducing the rate of taxation on the first $20,000 of qualifying vehicles by 56.10%; and WHEREAS, this Resolution is adopted pursuant to Ordinance 122005-10 adopted by the Board of Supervisors on December 20, 2005, which incorporated the provisions of the PPTRA into the Roanoke County Code. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, as follows: 1. That tax relief shall be allocated so as to eliminate personal property taxation for qualifying personal use vehicles valued at $1,000 or less. Page 2 of 3 2. That qualifying personal use vehicles valued from $1,001 to $20,000 will be eligible for 56. 10% tax relief. 3. That qualifying personal use vehicles valued at $20,001 or more shall only receive 56.1 % tax relief on the first $20,000 of value; and 4. That all other vehicles which do not meet the definition of qualifying (for example, including but not limited to, business use vehicles, farm use vehicles, motor homes, etc.) will not be eligible for any form of tax relief under this program. 5. That the percentages applied to the categories of qualifying personal use vehicles are estimated fully to use all available PPTRA funds allocated to Roanoke County by the Commonwealth of Virginia. 6. That this resolution shall be effective from and after the date of its adoption.

Jones Planner II Richard L. Caywood County Administrator Observance and Proclamation of Thursday, April 27, 2023, as National Arbor Day in Roanoke County BACKGROUND: The Arbor Day Foundation has named Roanoke County a 2022 Tree City USA Community for its commitment to effective urban forestry management. It is the 151St anniversary of Arbor Day. The Arbor Day Foundation, is the nation's largest nonprofit organization dedicated to planting trees. The Tree City USA program is sponsored in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service. Roanoke County retained its Tree City USA designation by meeting the program's following four requirements: a tree board or department; a tree -care ordinance; an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita; and an annual Arbor Day observance and proclamation. The funding for this year's Roanoke County's Arbor Day planting is provided through the Virginia Trees for Clean Water matching grant program, in partnership with the Virginia Department of Forestry and the Roanoke Valley-Alleghany Regional Commission. The Virginia Department of Forestry has developed the Virginia Trees for Clean Water program to improve water quality across the Commonwealth of Virginia through efforts Page 1 of 3 to plant trees. The grants awarded through this program encourage local government and citizen involvement in creating and supporting long-term and sustained tree canopy cover. Arbor Day celebrations enable local governments to raise public awareness about the benefits of planting trees for the health of our streams and rivers. DISCUSSION: Roanoke County will observe National Arbor Day on Thursday, April 27, 2023 with a celebration at Oak Grove Park. The celebration will consist of a ribbon cutting for the Oak Grove Park improvements, a ceremonial tree planting, a presentation by State foresters on the importance of trees, and a program by ASK (After School for Kids) program students from Oak Grove Elementary School. Roanoke County encourages residents, businesses, and organizations to plant a tree in the community in honor of National Arbor Day. Cleaner air, improved storm water management, energy savings and increased property values are among the benefits enjoyed by Tree City USA communities. FISCAL IMPACT: The Virginia Trees for Clean Water program is a 50/50 matching grant with funds awarded on a reimbursement basis. Overhead costs for administering the grant will be incurred by the Roanoke Valley-Alleghany Regional Commission. Roanoke County's contribution will be in the form of in -kind services. No direct funding from Roanoke County is required. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors proclaim, Thursday, April 27, 2023, as National Arbor Day in Roanoke County.

G-7 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: April 11, 2023 AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance authorizing the acquisition of one-half (1/2) interest in three (3) parcels of real property containing approximately 42 acres adjacent to Explore Park, located in Roanoke County and in Bedford County, and authorizing execution of an amended purchase agreement, deeds of conveyance and other documents necessary to accomplish the acquisition of this real estate SUBMITTED BY: Lindsay B. Webb Parks Planning and Development Manager APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: Ordinance authorizing the acquisition of one-half (1/2) interest in three parcels of real property containing approximately 42.94 acres adjacent to Explore Park, located in Roanoke County and in Bedford County; and authorizing execution of an amended purchase agreement, a deed of conveyance, and other documents necessary to accomplish the acquisition of this real estate BACKGROUND: Roanoke County has operated Explore Park since 2013 under a 99-year lease from the Virginia Recreational Facilities Authority (VRFA), a political subdivision of the Commonwealth that owns over 1,100 acres along the Roanoke River in Bedford and Roanoke Counties. Following an extensive public involvement process, Roanoke County developed the 2016 Explore Park Adventure Plan that proposed a new vision for Explore Park as an outdoor adventure recreation destination. The Adventure Plan also proposed preserving much of Explore Park in its natural state to allow for passive recreation, open space, and forest conservation. There are three parcels totaling 42.94 acres that are located north of the Roanoke River Page 1 of 3 within the boundaries of Explore Park. The parcels are located in Bedford and Roanoke Counties identified as Tax Parcel Numbers 080.00-05-17.00-0000, 172 A 42, and 172 A 14A, as shown on the attached map and plat. These parcels are co -owned by the VRFA and Betty W. Mayes, who each own a one-half interest (50%). Ms. Mayes approached Roanoke County expressing her willingness to sell her one half -interest in the three parcels. Roanoke County submitted a grant application in 2018 to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation (VOF) Forest CORE Program for acquisition of Ms. Mayes' interest that was awarded. The Roanoke County Board of Supervisors approved Ordinance 121520-6 in 2020 accepting and appropriating $165,450 from the VOF, and a grant agreement was executed between Roanoke County and the VOF for acquisition of Ms. Mayes interest in the parcels. The Board of Supervisors approved Ordinance No. 081021-5 in 2021 authorizing staff to execute a Purchase Agreement with Ms. Mayes in the amount of $58,600, as well as a deed of conveyance and other documents necessary to accomplish this real estate transaction. The purchase price was based on 2021 real estate assessments, plus $10,000. The Purchase Agreement was executed between Ms. Mayes and Roanoke County on August 17, 2021. DISCUSSION: Throughout the administration of the VOF grant, the deeds, boundary survey, preliminary plat, title report, appraisal, and Phase 1 Environmental Assessment have been completed. The appraisal report was completed on December 28, 2022 in conformance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). Based upon that report, the estimated fee simple market value of the three properties identified as Tax Parcel Numbers 080.00-05-17.00-0000, 172 A 42, and 172 A 14A is $165,000; therefore, the estimated value of Ms. Mayes' one-half interest in the three parcels is $82,500. Staff are requesting approval of an ordinance authorizing staff to increase the compensation amount due to Ms. Mayes from $58,600.00 to $82,500.00. Roanoke County proposes to manage these three parcels as part of Explore Park, remaining forested and largely undeveloped, except for trails and similar facilities for outdoor recreation, as outlined in the Explore Park Adventure Plan. Planned restoration management activities will follow the guidance of a forest management plan, written with forest health as the management objective. County staff have met with the VRFA Board of Directors who are supportive of Roanoke County owning a one-half interest in the parcels and recording an open space easement with forest management restrictions on the parcels. FISCAL IMPACT: The VOF Forest CORE Program provides one -hundred percent (100%) of the costs Page 2 of 3 associated with the land acquisition, including the appraisals, survey, environmental assessments, title reports, and closing costs. There is no local match required. Funding for the purchase and incidental costs of the acquisition is available in the County's grant fund, which was created pursuant to Ordinance 121520-6 whereby the Board accepted and appropriated $165,450.00 from the VOF for the purchase of the land. Per the grant agreement executed in 2021 and amended in 2022, the VOF grant funds distributed shall not exceed the approved appraised value of the three properties acquired plus eligible costs incurred, and shall not exceed the total grant amount of $165,450. The grant funds may be released in stages as each of the parcels are acquired and subsequent required enhancement activities occur. Roanoke County staff will request reimbursement for eligible grant expenses after the one-half interest is acquired from Ms. Mayes. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the first reading of this ordinance and scheduling the second reading for April 25, 2023. VOTE: Supervisor Peters moved to approve the first reading of this ordinance and scheduling the second reading and public hearing for April 25, 2023. Supervisor North seconded the motion.
