AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance accepting and appropriating $170,680 in grant

County Administrator
ISSUE:
Accept and appropriate $170,680 in Virginia Department of Emergency Management
(VDEM) Emergency Shelter Upgrade Assistance funding and $88,140.30 from the
Regional Center for Animal Care and Protection for the purchase of an emergency
generator on behalf of Roanoke Center for Regional Animal Care and Protection
(RCACP).
BACKGROUND:
The Commonwealth of Virginia’s Emergency Shelter Upgrade Assistance Fund allows
local governments to secure generators and retrofit shelters for the citizens across the
Commonwealth. The purpose of this grant is to provide matching funds to localities to
install, maintain, or repair infrastructure related to backup energy generation for
emergency shelters.
The Regional Center for Animal Care and Protection serves as the municipal animal
shelter for the City of Roanoke, Counties of Botetourt and Roanoke, and the Town of
Vinton. The physical building structure of RCACP was built in 2003 and was not fitted
with an emergency backup generator.
Page 1of 3
When coordinating human sheltering options during an emergency, it is essential to
have animal sheltering in place so that citizens feel comfortable using an emergency
shelter and will not stay in unsafe conditions to remain with their animals. RCACP is an
essential component of each jurisdiction’s emergency operation plan when resources
are needed during an emergency event, serving a combined population of 238,585 and
an estimated yearly pet population of 4,000.
DISCUSSION:
Funding of $251,000 was awarded to Roanoke County on behalf of RCACP for the
purchase and installation of an emergency generator at the RCACP facility as shown on
the attached award letter. This amount includes a state share of $170,680 (68%) and a
local share of $80,320 (32%).
However, the cost of this project totals $258,820.30. After considering the $170,680 in
State funding awarded, RCACP approved capital funding at their meeting held on June
13, 2023, to cover the local match of $80,320 and the additional $7,820.30 needed to
complete the project for a total RCACP contribution of $88,140.30. The RCACP funds
will be transferred to the County upon approvaland appropriation of the grant and all
funds will be deposited in the Grant Fund.
After completion of the purchase, installation and grant reporting requirements, the
County will transfer the generator as a capital asset to RCACP.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total cost of the project will be covered by the $170,680 of State funding and the
contribution from RCACP of $88,140.30. As such, there is no fiscal impact to the
County.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the first reading of the ordinance and scheduling the
second reading for July 11, 2023.

Supervisor Peters moved to approve the first reading and to schedule the second
reading for July 11, 2023. Supervisor North seconded the motion. Motion approved.
