SUBMITTED BY: Deborah C. Jacks
Chief Deputy Clerk to the Board of Supervisors
APPROVED BY: Daniel R. O’Donnell
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Joe Lerch, VACo Director of Local Government Policy will present the two Achievemen t
Awards
BACKGROUND:
The Virginia Association of Counties (VACo) has awarded Roanoke County two
Achievement Awards, which recognize excellence in local government programs.
DISCUSSION:
Roanoke County earned an award for the role of its Public Libraries in civic engagement
and providing continual services to citizens amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The staff
transitioned to new service delivery models, such as increasing electronic resources
and virtual programs, instituting curbside services, utilizing 3 D printers to make face
shields for first responders and adapting their drive -through windows for use by the
Treasurer’s office. Shari Henry, Director of Library Services will be in attendance to
accept the award.
Roanoke County also earned an Achievement Award for the successful revitalization
project, in conjunction with the Town of Vinton, of preserving and redeveloping
underutilized historic properties, creating new jobs and revitalizing the Town’s central

ITEM NO. D.1
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPE RVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2021
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution directing the Roanoke County Planning
Commission to study and provide a recommendation
regarding whether to amend the Roanoke County Zoning
Ordinance to allow the erection of broadcast towers of
limited height without requiring a special use permit
SUBMITTED BY: Peter S. Lubeck
County Attorney
APPROVED BY: Daniel R. O’Donnell
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Whether to amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow erection of certain broadcast towers
as a by-right use.
BACKGROUND:
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for all Virginians to have reliable
internet access. It has been proposed that the Board consider amending the County
Code to make it easier for internet providers to provide such access to County citizens.
In most instances, a special use permit must be granted by the Board before broadcast
towers (for the provision of internet services) may be erected. Pursuant to the Code of
Virginia, the localities cannot require special use permits for "small cell" facilities (that
are not more than 50 feet above ground level); such facilities are only subject to
administrative review by the Zoning Administrator. In the County, all other broadcast
towers presently require a special use permit.
DISCUSSION:
It has been proposed that the Board consider authorizing the erection of ce rtain
broadcast towers, of limited height (above the height of qualifying small cell facilities that
Page 2 of 2
are subject to administrative review only), without requiring a special use permit.
Section 30-14 of County Code provides that the Board may, by resolution , direct the
Planning Commission to study potential amendments to the County Zoning Ordinance,
and to make recommendations to the Board regarding such. It is proposed that the
Board, by resolution, refer this matter to the Planning Commission for study and
recommendation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This item has no fiscal impact.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the matter be referred to the Planning Commission for study and
recommendation.

COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2021
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance authorizing employee bonuses totaling
$2,070,916.88 funded from the Compensation Board, Public
Safety Salary Reimbursement from CARES Act and General
Fund Year End
SUBMITTED BY: Rebecca Owens
Assistant County Administrator
APPROVED BY: Daniel R. O’Donnell
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Authorize a one-time bonus for all eligible employees with funding in the amount of
$187,311 from the Compensation Board, $938,026 funded from Public Safety Salary
Reimbursement CARES Act Year End and $945,579.88 funded from General Fund year
end.
BACKGROUND:
The 2021 General Assembly Special Session II approved the allocation of federal
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to the Compensation Board to provide a one -time
$3,000 bonus payment for Compensation Board funded sworn Sheriffs, sheriffs’
deputies and regional jail officers.
The Board of Supervisors has agreed to accept the funding from the Compensation
Board and pass this one time bonus to eligible Sheriff Office positions. Additionally the
Board has identified providing a bonus to all other C ounty employees as a priority in
recognition and appreciation of employees hard work and dedication during COVID-19.
DISCUSSION:
Uniformed/sworn Roanoke County employees within the departments of Police, Fire
and Rescue, and Sheriff and employees in the Emergency Communications Center who
Page 2 of 2
answer the call of Roanoke County citizens are recommended for bonus as follows:
· $3,000 for all Full Time and $250 for all regular Part time
All other County employees are recommended for bonus as follows:
· $1,000 for all Full Time and $250 for all regular Part-Time
County employees qualifying for the bonus are further defined as full -time and regular
part-time employees who are in an active pay status at the time the bonus is paid.
Regular full-time employees are those listed in the Roanoke County Pay Classification
Plan. Regular part-time employees are those actively working and recommended by
the Department Director. It does not include part-time casuals and temporaries, boards
and commissions.
Section 15.2-1508 of the Code of Virginia, as amended, authorizes the governing body
of any city, county, or town to pay a monetary bonus. The payment of the bonus must
be authorized by ordinance. We are required by the Compensation Board to make the
Sheriff payment by November 30, 2021, therefore we would like to make this payment
to all employees on November 12, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated cost to provide a bonus to all employees is approximately $2,070,916.88.
Of this amount, approximately $187,311 will be reimbursed by the Compensation
Board, $938,026 will be funded from the balance of funds from Public Safety costs
reimbursed from CARES Act, and the remaining funds of $945,578.88 reimbursed from
year end funds. Expenses will be paid from current year and reimbursed through an
appropriation from year end funds at the December 14, 2021 meeting. See Attachment
A and B for details.
Funding provided by the Virginia Compensation Board does not represent base salary
funding, and consequently is in addition to and does not supplant local salary
supplements or any recent local salary increases. Like all funding for salaries and
expenses in constitutional offices, Roanoke County will be responsible for paying these
expenses, and the Compensation Board will reimburse the majority of the actual
expenses.

ITEM NO. E.2
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPE RVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2021
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance accepting and appropriating funds in the amount
of $9,147,263 from the Department of the Treasury for the
locality-based allocation distributed as a component of the
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021
SUBMITTED BY: Rebecca Owens
Assistant County Administrator
APPROVED BY: Daniel R. O’Donnell
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Accept and appropriate funds in the amount of $9,147,263 from the Department of the
Treasury
BACKGROUND:
On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 was signed into law. The
$1.9 trillion package includes funding for stimulus checks, unemployment assistance,
education, public health, child tax credits, transportation and infrastructure, pensions,
raising the federal minimum wage, support for businesses, child care and community
support.
In addition, $350 billion has been set aside for state and local governments. Of this
amount $65.1 billion has been set aside for counties and the portion of this the County
of Roanoke will receive is $18,294,526. The first half of the allocation was received on
May 19, 2021 in the amount of $9,147,263. The remaining amount of the allocation will
be received on May 19, 2022.
DISCUSSION:
The Treasury has released the Interim Final Rule which outlines the guidance on
eligible and ineligible uses of the funds. However, the rules are not final and at this time
Page 2 of 2
there is no information on when they will publish the final rules.
Currently, the guidance for eligible uses of the funds are outlined in six broad categories
which are; Support Public Health Response, Address Negative Economic Impacts,
Replace Public Sector Revenue Loss, Premium Pay for Essential Workers, Water and
Sewer Infrastructure, and Broadband Infrastructure.
In addition the guidance states ARPA funds may only be used to cover costs that were
incurred during the period that began on March 3, 2021, and ends on December 31,
2024. Costs can be “incurred” by December 31, 2024 and expended through December
31, 2026
During a work session on September 21, 2021, staff reviewed with the Board of
Supervisors ideas for the use of the funds to include funding Broadband, Cybersecurity,
equipment, roads, water, sewer, stormwater, other infrastructure, grant assistance
programs, and other shovel ready projects.
Staff continue to gather information on eligible uses of the funds and will come back at a
later time to recommend specific projects for the Board to approve funding.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No County funds are required. Funds are 100% Federal funds. $9,147,263 will be
appropriated to the Grant Fund.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the first reading of the ordinance and scheduling the
second reading for October 19, 2021 to accept and appropriate $9,147,263 to the grant
fund for the first payment received of the locally-based allocation for the ARPA of 2021.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPE RVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2021
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance authorizing the transfer of title to the real estate in
the Vinton Business Center from the Roanoke County Board
of Supervisors to the Roanoke County Economic
Development Authority
SUBMITTED BY: Jill Loope
Director of Economic Development
APPROVED BY: Daniel R. O’Donnell
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Conveyance of the County's 1/2 interest in the Vinton Business Center properties to the
Roanoke County Economic Development Authority.
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors and the Vinton Town Council jointly own 71.903 Acres of real
estate in the Vinton Business Center; each of the governing bodies owns a 1/2 interest
in the parcels, which are being actively marketed for economic development purposes.
The Roanoke County Charter requires the Board to authorize the sale of real estat e by
the adoption of an ordinance. Adoption of an ordinance requires two readings at two
regular meetings. Also, no property shall be sold at public or private sale until a public
hearing has been held. These procedural requirements could delay the tran sfer of real
estate to an economic development prospect, and perhaps this delay could jeopardize
the overall transaction.
It has been the Board’s practice to first convey the property to the EDA. The EDA may
then convey the property to an economic develo pment prospect.
It has been proposed that both the Board of Supervisors and the Vinton Town Council
convey their interests in the Vinton Business Center properties to the EDA. This
Page 2 of 2
conveyance to the EDA will shorten the time period involved in concluding an economic
development transaction, while still complying with the statutory procedural
requirements. Conveying this real estate to the EDA now will satisfy the initial
procedural requirements for any subsequent transaction.
This conveyance will allow the County and the EDA to move more quickly to conclude
economic development transactions.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This item has no fiscal impact
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board favorably consider the adoption of this ordinance at
first reading, and to schedule the second reading and public hearing for October 19,
2021.

ISSUE(S):
The conveyance of real property located at the intersection of Old Cave Spring Road
and Brambleton Avenue to the Roanoke County Economic Development Authority, and
the reallocation of funds from the County's capital project account to the general fund in
order to compensate the Commonwealth to relinquish its easement in the property.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
On December of 2020, the Virginia Department of Transportation ("VDOT") purchased
three (3) parcels located at the intersection of Clearbrook Lane and Clearbrook Village
lane in the Cave Spring Magisterial District for the purpose of developing its South
Roanoke County Transportation Maintenance and Operations Facility. Simultaneously,
it was determined that five (5) parcels totaling 2.6218 acres located in the Windsor Hills
Page 2 of 3
Magisterial District at the intersection of Old Cave Spring Road and Brambleton Avenue
would be vacated upon the opening of the operations facility in Clearbrook.
Upon determining that the five (5) parcels would contribute to the economic
development goals of the County, the Board of Supervisors, on December 1, 2020,
adopted an ordinance approving the acquisition of the parcels, and authorized the
execution of a Memorandum of Agreement and a deed.
Pursuant to the Memorandum of Agreement, the Board, acquired, by deed, the
properties from the Commonwealth (VDOT), and VDOT retained an easement to
continue to use the parcels for its public purposes.
The Memorandum of Agreement further provided that if and when the Board desires to
convey the five (5) parcels to the Roanoke County Economic Development Authority
(“EDA”) for the purpose of furthering economic development in Roanoke County, the
Parties will execute a new deed with the following provisions:
a. The Board will pay the Commonwealth the fair market value of the five (5) parcels,
as determined by an independent appraisal at the time of the transaction;
b. The Commonwealth’s easement in the parcels will be extinguished; an d
c. The Board will convey fee simple ownership of the parcels to the EDA.
It has been proposed that the Board now convey the properties to the EDA, and
accordingly compensate VDOT to relinquish its easements in the parcels. An appraisal
report, completed September 9, 2021, determined that the market value of the property
is $655,000.
It is proposed that the Board authorize the reallocation of $655,000 from the Center for
Research and Technology (CRT) capital project account for the payment, and that the
Board pay the Commonwealth the $655,000 in order to relinquish its easements in the
parcels. The Board will convey the parcels to the EDA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
In order for VDOT to relinquish its easement in the properties, the County will pay the
Commonwealth the market value of the properties of $655,000. Funds are available for
reallocation in the CRT capital project account and can be replenished from fiscal year
2021 year-end general funds.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the first reading of the ordinance and setting the second
reading and public hearing (for the conveyance of the parcels to the EDA) for October

ITEM NO. F.1
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPE RVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2021
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance authorizing the granting of a new twen ty-foot (20’)
sanitary sewer easement for residential development to the
Western Virginia Water Authority on property owned by the
Roanoke County Board of Supervisors, located on Crossbow
Circle (Route 1290) near Elk Hill Drive (Route 1294), Cave
Spring Magisterial District
SUBMITTED BY: Tarek Moneir
Director of Development Services
APPROVED BY: Daniel R. O’Donnell
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Ordinance authorizing the granting of a new twenty foot (20') sanitary sewer easement
for residential development to the Western Virginia Water Authority (WVWA) on
property owned by the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors, located on Crossbow
Circle (Route 1290) near Elk Hill Drive (Route 1294), Cave Spring Magisterial District.
BACKGROUND:
The Western Virginia Water Authority is requesting a twenty-foot (20’) sanitary sewer
easement crossing an existing right-of-way (ROW) known as Crossbow Circle. This
portion of the ROW is the only area that was never dedicated to VDOT in order to be
taken into the state maintained highway system. The purpose of the easement is to
extend sanitary sewer service to newly created parcels for residential development, as
shown on the attached plat.
DISCUSSION:
The easement is necessary for the installation and maintenance of a public, sanitary
sewer connection to newly created parcels for residential development, located at the
corner of Elk Hill Drive and Crossbow Circle. Sewer can be provided to the property by
Page 2 of 2
the sewer main extension and connection to the exiti ng 8” public sanitary main located
on Hunting Hills Drive via private easement located on the newly created tract 3 along
the eastern part of Crossbow Circle. All costs associated with the design and
construction of the public sewer improvement required to serve this new parcel will be
the responsibility of the owner/developer.
Once this sanitary sewer easement is granted by Roanoke County, plans will be
submitted for review and approval. Depending on how the property is developed,
WVWA will assume the responsibility for ongoing maintenance of the sewer service.
The Western Virginia Water Authority understands that this portion of Crossbow Circle
may one day be taken into the Virginia Department of Transportation state -maintained
highway system. In preparation for that, the plat includes the following provision:
“THE NEW 20' PUBLIC SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT SHALL BE VACATED
AT THE TIME CROSSBOW CIRCLE IS TAKEN INTO STATE MAINTENANCE
BY THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION."
There have been no changes since the first reading of this ordinance on September 21,
2021.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no additional fiscal impact associated with this agenda item. The WVWA will
maintain the public sanitary sewer within the easement.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the attached ordinance.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPE RVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2021
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance authorizing the issuance of not to exceed
$22,440,000 General Obligation School Bonds of the County
of Roanoke, Virginia, to be sold through the Virginia Public
School Authority (VPSA)
SUBMITTED BY: Rebecca Owens
Assistant County Administrator
APPROVED BY: Daniel R. O’Donnell
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Authorize the issuance of General Obligation Schools Bonds through VPSA in an
amount not to exceed $22,440,000
BACKGROUND:
The next project on the School Board Capital Improvement Plan is the renovation of
William Byrd High School. Project construction is underway with completion tentatively
scheduled for July 2023.
The construction project at William Byrd High School will consist of additions and
renovations to the existing school building. Three infill additions will provide a new
music classroom, art classrooms, weight room expansion and a wrestling-cheer practice
gym. The renovations will involve selective demolition throughout the school to
reconfigure and repurpose existing spaces. The plans indicate that the guidance suite is
being relocated to be next to the administrative offices and the media center will be
moved to occupy the former guidance area. A two -story music addition will provide a
new elevator, choir classroom with office, support spaces, and two classrooms; and on
the second floor, two art classrooms, support spaces, and connecting corridor for the
elevator will be provided. The CTE classrooms and science labs will be renovated and
expanded. The interior renovations will include new finishes, casework, new doors ,
replacement of the stage, auditorium lighting, and improve ADA accessibility. New
Page 2 of 4
toilets are being provided for the cafeteria and auxiliary gym. The project will also
provide new roofing, firewalls, sprinkler system, and new mechanical, plumbing and
electrical systems. All plumbing fixtures will be replaced and lights replaced with LED
fixtures.
DISCUSSION:
The estimated total project costs, including design, construction and soft costs for the
renovation of William Byrd High School is approximately $30.7 million with $8.3 million
funded with cash and $22.440 million to be funded with bonds issued through the
Virginia Public School Authority.
The Virginia Public School Authority (VPSA) was created by the General Assembly to
issue revenue bonds and to use these proceeds to purchase or refinance bonds issued
by local governments to finance capital project for public schools. VPSA pledges to the
payment of its bonds the school bonds it purchases from local governments. Local
bonds issued by counties and sold to the VPSA are not subject to the referendum
requirement of the Virginia Constitution.
As part of the joint capital plan that the County and School have had in place since
2005, the Schools have the opportunity to borrow funds two consecutive year s out of
every three years. This plan provides a mechanism to pay for debt without adding any
tax burden to the taxpayer.
The bond funds were planned under the County/Schools 12 -12-12 Capital Financing
Plan and represent the $12,000,000 in bonds scheduled in fiscal year 2021 and fiscal
year 2022. The schools "banked" the scheduled borrowings for fiscal year 2021 to
combine with the scheduled borrowing in fiscal year 2022 for this project.
VPSA bonds are sold twice a year so the next available bond issuance is in the Fall of
2021. The VPSA application was submitted in August for an amount not to exceed
$22,440,000, with the bonds expected to be sold in Fall 2021.
The first debt payment on the proposed bond will occur in the 2022 -23 fiscal year. The
current interest rate environment is favorable, however this will be dependent on market
conditions at the time of the sale and final amortization schedules provided by VPSA in
the Fall of 2021.
The School Board approved a reimbursement resolution on July 13, 2021, for this
project to allow all project costs incurred prior to the bond sale to be reimbursed from a
future VPSA bond issue. The County Board of Supervisors approved a revised
reimbursement resolution on July 27, 2021.
Page 3 of 4
The School Board has adopted the necessary resolutions to participate in the Fall 2021.
Before the bonds can be sold, the County Board of Supervisors must hold a public
hearing and adopt the attached ordinance, which outlines the parameters of the bond
sale and the form of the bonds. The VPSA application is for an amount not to exceed
$22,440,000. The public hearing is scheduled for October 5, 2021.
There have been no changes since the first reading of the ordinance held on September
21, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project budget will be funded with existing cash reserves and this VPSA bond sale.
$8.3 million funded with cash and $22.44 million to be funded with bonds issued through
the Virginia Public School Authority.
The ability to subsidize capital projects with cash is m ade possible by the joint capital
financing plan adopted by the School Board and Board of Supervisors in December
2004 and annually funded with the school and county budgets. Funds for this project
were previously appropriated during the 2021 and 2022 bud get process with budget
ordinance number 062320-8 and 051121-9 and prior budget actions.
Debt payments for this borrowing will begin in fiscal year 2022 -2023 and are factored
into the debt capacity for school capital improvements and future County budgets will
include the annual debt service to be paid from the funded joint school and county
future capital fund.
The County's debt policy established parameters for issuing debt and managing
outstanding debt. The County does not have any Constitutional or Statutory Debt
Limits. The County does abide by self-imposed debt targets. The proposed bond issue
in the amount of $22.440 million will allow the County to stay well within the limits of the
County debt policy approved by the Board.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION
CENTER, ON OCTOBER 5, 2021
ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF NOT TO EXCEED
$22,440,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION SCHOOL BOND OF THE
COUNTY OF ROANOKE, VIRGINIA, TO BE SOLD TO THE VIRGINIA
PUBLIC SCHOOL AUTHORITY AND PROVIDING FOR THE FORM AND
DETAILS THEREOF.
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors (the “Board”) of the County of Roanoke,
Virginia (the “County”), has determined that it is necessary and expedient to borrow an
amount not to exceed $22,440,000 and to issue its general obligation school bond (as
more specifically defined below, the “Local School Bond”) for the purpose of financing
William Byrd High School additions and renovations, which constitutes a capital project
for public school purposes (collectively, the “Project”); and
WHEREAS, the County held a public hearing, duly noticed, on October 5, 2021,
on the issuance of the Local School Bond in accordance with the requirements of Section
15.2-2606, Code of Virginia 1950, as amended (the “Virginia Code”); and
WHEREAS, the School Board of the County has, by Ordinance, requested the
Board to authorize the issuance of the Local School Bond and consented to the issuance
of the Local School Bond; and
WHEREAS, Virginia Public School Authority (“VPSA”) has offered to purchase the
Local School Bond along with the local school bonds of certain other localities with a
portion of the proceeds of certain bonds to be issued by VPSA in the fall of 20 21 (the
“VPSA Bonds”); and
WHEREAS, the Bond Sale Agreement (as defined below) shall indicate that
$22,440,000 is the amount of proceeds requested (the “Proceeds Requested”) from
VPSA in connection with the sale of the Local School Bond; and
A-2
WHEREAS, VPSA’s objective is to pay the County a purchase price for the Local
School Bond which, in VPSA’s judgment, reflects the Local School Bond’s market value
(the “VPSA Purchase Price Objective”), taking into consideration of such factors as the
amortization schedule the County has requested for the Local School Bond relative to the
amortization schedules requested by other localities, the purchase price to be received
by VPSA from the sale of the VPSA Bonds and other market conditions relating to the
sale of the VPSA Bonds; and
WHEREAS, such factors may result in the Local School Bond having a purchase
price other than par and consequently (i) the County may have to issue the Local School
Bond in a principal amount that is greater than or less than the Proceeds Requested in
order to receive an amount of proceeds that is substantially equal to the Proceeds
Requested, or (ii) if the maximum authorized principal amount of the Local School Bond
set forth in section 1 below does not exceed the Proceeds Requested by at least the
amount of any discount, the purchase price to be paid to the County, given the VPSA
Purchase Price Objective and market conditions, will be less than the Proceeds
Requested; and
WHEREAS, the first reading of this ordinance was held on September 21, 2021,
and the second reading and public hearing of this ordinance was held on October 5, 2021.

Proceeds Requested: $22,440,000
Maximum Authorized Par Amount: $22,440,000

(Check requested date):
******************************************************************************
1. Virginia Public School Authority ("VPSA") hereby offers to purchase, solely from the
proceeds of VPSA's 2021 Fall Pool Bonds (the "VPSA Bonds"), your general obligation
school bond ("local school bond") at a price, determined by VPSA to be within the
parameters set forth in your local resolution (as defined below) that, subject to VPSA's
purchase price objective and market conditions described below, is substantially equal to
your Proceeds Requested set forth above (as authorized by your local resolution). The
sale date of the VPSA Bonds is tentatively scheduled for the week of October 18, 2021
but may occur, subject to market conditions, at any time between October 5, 2021 and
December 31, 2021 (the "VPSA Sale Date"). You acknowledge that VPSA has advised
you that its objective is to pay you a purchase price for your local school bond which in
VPSA's judgment reflects its market value ("purchase price objective") taking into
consideration such factors as the amortization schedule you have requested for your local
school bond (as set forth above) relative to the amortization schedules requested by the
other localities for their respective bonds, the purchase price received by VPSA for the
VPSA Bonds and other market conditions relating to the sale of the VPSA Bonds. You
further acknowledge that VPSA has advised you that such factors may result in your local
school bond having a value other than par and that in order to receive an amount of
proceeds that is substantially equal to your Proceeds Requested, you may need to issue
your local school bond with a par amount that is greater or less than your Proceeds
Requested. You, at the request of VPSA, agree to issue your local school bond in a par
-2-
amount not in excess of the Maximum Authorized Par Amount to provide, to the fullest
extent practicable given VPSA's purchase price objective, a purchase price for your local
school bond and a proceeds amount that is substantially equal to your Proceeds
Requested. You acknowledge that the purchase price for your local school bond will be
less than the Proceeds Requested should the Maximum Authorized Par Amount be
insufficient, based upon VPSA's purchase price objective, to generate an amount of
proceeds substantially equal to your Proceeds Requested.
2. You represent that on or before October 4, 2021, your local governing body will have duly
authorized the issuance of your local school bond by adopting a resolution in substantially
the form attached hereto as Appendix B (the "local resolution") and that your local school
bond will be in the form set forth in the local resolution. Any changes that you or your
counsel wish to make to the form of the local resolution and/or your local school bond must
be approved by VPSA prior to adoption of the local resolution by your local governing
body. You represent that a certified copy of the local resolution was filed with the Circuit
Court of the County of Roanoke, Virginia, on October __________, 2021.
3. You represent that the information provided in your VPSA financing application under
the Section entitled "Tax Matters," together with all attachments to such responses and
supplemental and/or amendatory letters and information, is true, accurate and complete
on the date hereof and there are no facts or circumstances that would cause such
information to be materially inaccurate or incomplete.
4. You hereby covenant that you will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the
Continuing Disclosure Agreement in the form attached hereto as Appendix D, which
agreement is hereby incorporated by reference herein and expressly made a part hereof for
all purposes. VPSA has defined a Material Obligated Person ("MOP") for purposes of the
Continuing Disclosure Agreement as any Local Issuer (as defined therein) the principal
amount of whose local school bond(s) pledged under VPSA's 1997 Resolution (as defined
therein) comprises more than 10% of the total principal amount of all bonds of VPSA
outstanding under the 1997 Resolution. MOP status with respect to the VPSA Bonds will
be determined by comparing the principal amount of your local school bond(s) to the
principal amount of the bonds outstanding under the 1997 Resolution. MOP status for
future VPSA bonds issued under the 1997 Resolution will be determined by adding the
principal amount of your local school bond(s) to be sold to VPSA and the principal amount
of your local school bond(s) previously sold to VPSA and pledged under VPSA's 1997
Resolution and measuring the total against 10% of the face value of all bonds of VPSA
outstanding as of a bond closing date under VPSA's 1997 Resolution. If you are or may be
a MOP with respect to the VPSA Bonds, VPSA will require that you file all the information
described in the following paragraph prior to VPSA's distribution of its Preliminary Official
Statement, currently scheduled for the week of October 4, 2021.
You acknowledge that if you are, or in the sole judgment of VPSA may be, a MOP
following the issuance of your local school bond that is the subject of this Bond Sale
Agreement, VPSA will include by specific reference in its Preliminary Official
Statements and final Official Statements (for this sale and, if you remain a MOP or
become a MOP again after ceasing to be a MOP, for all applicable future sales) the
-3-
information respecting you ("Your Information") that is on file with the Municipal
Securities Rulemaking Board (the "MSRB") through its Electronic Municipal Market
Access System. Accordingly, if VPSA has determined that you are at any time a MOP
(I) following the delivery of your local school bond to VPSA in connection with this sale,
or (II) during the course of any future sale, whether or not you are a participant in such
sale, you hereby represent and covenant to VPSA that you will file such additional
information, if any, as is required so that Your Information, as of each of (I)(A) the date
of VPSA's applicable Preliminary Official Statement (in the case of this sale, expected to
be October 8, 2021), (B) the date of VPSA's applicable final Official Statement (in the
case of this sale, expected to be October 19, 2021) and (C) the date of delivery of VPSA's
Bonds (in the case of this sale, expected to be November 9, 2021) and (II) such other
dates associated with future sales as VPSA may specify to you, will be true and correct
and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
which should be included in Your Information for the purpose for which it is included by
specific reference in VPSA's official statement or which is necessary to make the
statements contained in such information, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading. You further agree to furnish to VPSA a copy of all filings
related to your local school bond(s) you make with the MSRB subsequent to the date of
this Agreement. Such copy will be furnished to VPSA on or before the day that any such
filing is made.1
VPSA will advise you in writing within 60 days after the end of each fiscal year if you were
a MOP as of the end of such fiscal year. Upon written request, VPSA will also advise you
of your status as a MOP as of any other date. You hereby covenant that you will provide the
certificate described in clause (a)(v) of Section 5 below if VPSA includes Your Information
by specific reference in its disclosure documents in connection with this sale or any future
sale, whether or not you are a participant in such sale.

Roanoke County Five-Year Financial Plan
FY 2022 – FY 2026
Multi-year financial planning is a strategic process examining financial, demographic, and other
environmental conditions to understand future service demands and resources available to meet those
needs. This process enables government officials to prepare and take actions toward preserving fiscal
health and provides the basis for evaluating maintenance of existing services, ability to meet future needs,
debt capacity, prioritizing budget issues, and linking budget priorities to available resources.
Background
Roanoke County began a Five-Year Financial Plan for the General Government Fund with the development
of the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Annual Fiscal Plan. Multi-year financial planning was identified by the County’s
Board of Supervisors as a priority during an annual Board Retreat in January 2021. The plan is intended to
play a key role in assisting the County in determining funding priorities and balancing the budget. The plan
is also an assurance to our citizens that the County is planning for the long term and financially positioning
itself to meet the needs of the future.
When reviewing the plan, it is important to remember that only the first year is adopted and appropriated
by the Board of Supervisors. The remaining years of the plan are based on current programmatic and
financial conditions. The exact dollars and positions in the plan are likely to change, but, if current needs
and conditions remain relatively constant, the overall direction and emphasis reflected in the plan should
remain consistent. Additionally, only the first year of the plan is balanced. Remaining years may require
revenue enhancements and/or service level adjustments.
The Five‐Year General Government Fund Financial Plan assumes conservative revenue growth and
illustrates how such revenue growth over current year projections can be reinvested in the County. As
fiscal flexibility is limited in meeting current service levels, the County is selective in any enhancements of
service levels and directs resources to known obligations. Therefore, service level enhancements are not
included in future assumptions, as they will be evaluated annually during each budget development process.
FY 2022 – FY 2026 Revenue Assumptions
This five‐year plan continues to forecast growth in our largest revenue sectors of real property and
personal property with no changes to the current tax rates. Revenue projections are conservative and
are based on historical trends while considering economic factors created by the COVID-19 pandemic.
On average, year over year growth of revenues in the Five-Year General Fund Financial Plan is X.XX%.
General Property Taxes
This section would include a discussion on trends we are seeing with Real Estate and Personal Property
Taxes. All increases in years FY 2023 – FY 2026 assume that the tax rates will remain level. Staff will
develop assumptions using historical data, discussions with County revenue team, and research of national
and local trends.
Other Local Taxes
This section would discuss assumptions made for Sales Tax, Business License, Hotel/Motel Tax, and Meals
Tax as major items within this section. Other items to include are Communication Sales & Use Tax,
Consumer Utility, and Utility License Tax. This section will also include projections on the newly added
Cigarette Tax. Staff will develop assumptions using historical data, discussions with County revenue team,
and research of national and local trends.
Attachment A
Commonwealth & Federal Revenue
This section would discuss assumptions for state and local revenues that we anticipate to receive for Social
Services programs, Compensation Board increases, and HB 599 Law Enforcement funding.
All Other Revenue Sources
This section would capture any other projected increases to include Community Development Fees,
Charges for Services, Recovered Costs, and Miscellaneous Revenue.
FY 2022 – FY 2026 Expenditure Assumptions
The five-year plan forecasts known and expected increases for personnel, operating, and capital
expenditures. As part of the FY 2022 budget, Roanoke County implemented new pay structures for
employees including a new step program for sworn public safety positions and applying the decision band
method to assign all other positions. This plan also includes anticipated increases based on staffing needs,
revenue-based expenditures, and areas with historical year over year increases.
Compensation & Benefits
This section would discuss the implementation of the Public Safety Step program and related assumptions.
Additionally, we would include language regarding the implementation of the Decision Band Method for
non-Public Safety positions. We would include a modest 3% increase for non-Public Safety employees.
Additionally, this section would describe assumed increases to benefits including Health Insurance and the
employer contribution to the Virginia Retirement System.
County Staffing
In this section, we would only include the addition of known required positions. This includes the addition
of fifteen (15) new firefighter positions from the grant fund when the SAFER grant expires. We would also
include a calculated assumption for the eighteen (18) new firefighter positions required to staff the new
fire station in the Hollins District. We would note that departments submit requests for new positions
based on demand and changes to operations. These position requests will be reviewed annually for need
and financial capacity.
Transfer for Schools Operating
The transfer to Schools Operating will be calculated using the Revenue Sharing formula. Since it would be
difficult to project Average Daily Membership (ADM) and County population changes, staff are considering
applying the current formula to the out years. The transfer would increase based on increased revenues
in FY 2023 – FY 2026.
Transfer for County Capital Improvement Program (CIP) & Fleet Replacement
The transfer to Capital will be based on the planned General Government Transfer support for the
County’s FY 2022 – FY 2031 CIP and the Fleet Replacement Program. Additionally, this transfer will
continue to assume an additional $200,000 each year per the Comprehensive Financial Policy requirement.
Transfer for Debt
The transfer for debt will be calculated based on amortization schedules.
Regional Services and Contractual Agreements
This section would include calculated increases for regional service providers based on prior year trends.
Regional payments from departmental budgets include RVRA, WVRJ, and RCACP. We would also include
non-departmental assumptions for Blue Ridge Behavioral Health, RVTV, Greenways, and Visit Virginia’s
Blue Ridge.
Attachment A
County Programs and Services
This section would include increases planned for internal and citizen services. Internally, we would include
assumptions for technology needs related to Software as a Service contracts. Citizen program assumptions
would include planned increases for the County’s CORTRAN program and potentially Tax Relief
Programs.
Maintaining Fund Balance and Contingency Policies
All future projections would include calculations for maintaining the 12% General Fund Balance policy and
the 0.25% Expenditure Contingency Policy.
