ITEM NO. D.1
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: September 24, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance of the Board of Supervisors of the County of
Roanoke, Virginia approving the refinancing of lease
transactions that originally financed various capital projects
for the County and authorizing the continued leasing of
certain County-owned property, the execution and delivery of
prime leases and local lease acquisition agreement and
financing leases, and other related actions
SUBMITTED BY: Laurie Gearheart
Director of Finance and Management Services
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Ordinance authorizing the refinancing of Virginia Resources Authority (VRA) Series
2013B and 2014A lease revenue bonds
BACKGROUND:
The VRA will be bringing their fall Virginia Pooled Financing Program (VPFP) bond
issue to market in October of this year. They have let us know of opportunities for a
potential refunding related to our Series 2013B and 2014A VPFP loans.
A refunding occurs when the proceeds of a new debt issue are used to retire previously
issued debt. These loans are now currently callable and can be refunded with tax-
exempt bonds.
DISCUSSION:
The refunding opportunities have been reviewed with our financial advisors and
currently they recommend we participate in the VRA fall pooled bond issue to take
advantage of the projected savings.
Page 1 of 3
The attached ordinance authorizes the County of Roanoke to refund previously issued
2013 and 2014 revenue bonds and provide for annual debt service savings. This
ordinance provides that the bonds shall result in net debt service savings as a
percentage of the principal amount of the refunded bonds of at least three percent (3%)
on a present value basis. It also allows for the refunding of just one of the bond series if
market conditions change such that one of the refundings meets the 3% savings target
and the other does not.
If the net present value savings on the refundings drop below three percent (3%) of the
refunded principal amounts, then the refunding loan application can be pulled as late as
the week of pricing which is the week of October 29th.
At that point, the VRA would not include the County's loan in the fall pool if at least the
minimum level of savings can't be generated as specified in the County's attached
authorizing ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The callable bonds available for refunding total $15.385 million and are projected to
yield an overall present value savings of five point two three percent (5.23%) based on
current market conditions.
Attachment A outlines the projected savings.
The County's issuance costs associated with the refunding are estimated to be around
$55,000, plus a share of VRA's issuance costs, and have been taken into consideration
in calculating the net savings described above and in Attachment A..
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the first reading of the ordinance and requests
scheduling the second reading for October 8, 2024.
VOTE:
Supervisor Radford moved to approve the first reading of this ordinance and scheduling
the second reading for October 8, 2024. Supervisor Mahoney seconded the motion.
Motion approved.

monthly cost of the CORTRAN program, and reallocate $26,991 from the CORTRAN
budget in the operating fund for the required local match.

The CORTRAN program was established in 1985 in order to help County residents
remain in their homes and independent with curb-to-curb transportation from their
homes to destinations within Roanoke County, the City of Roanoke, the City of Salem
and the Town of Vinton. The program is currently structured so that Roanoke County
residents are eligible to use the CORTRAN program if they are either 65 years of age or

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: September 24, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance accepting Transportation Alternatives Program
funds in the amount of $248,022 from the Roanoke Valley
Transportation Planning Organization, reallocating $62,005
from the Peters Creek/Williamson Road Corridor Study
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project and
appropriating all funds to the Grant Fund for construction of
the Glade Creek Greenway through Vinyard Park West in
the Vinton Magisterial District and in the Town of Vinton
SUBMITTED BY: Megan G. Cronise
Assistant Director of Planning
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Accept and appropriate $310,027 in Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside (TA)
Program funding to construct the Glade Creek Greenway through Vinyard Park West.
BACKGROUND:
The Glade Creek Greenway is identified in the 2018 Roanoke Valley Greenway Plan,
which was adopted by the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors in September 2018.
The Town of Vinton has constructed two segments of the greenway and a third segment
is nearing completion. The Town has preliminary engineering funding for Phase 3 to
design a connection between the Town's constructed greenway segments and the
proposed Vinyard Park West segment (Phase 4).
The proposed half-mile asphalt Glade Creek Greenway segment in Vinyard Park West,
located in both Roanoke County and the Town of Vinton, will continue to extend the
greenway east, towards Vinyard Park East and residential neighborhoods in the City of
Roanoke and Roanoke County. These neighborhood connections will enable residents
to walk and bike from their homes along the Glade Creek Greenway to the Tinker Creek
Page 1 of 3
Greenway and to the Roanoke River Greenway.
Roanoke County Planning, Development Services and Parks, Recreation and Tourism
staff have collaborated with the Town of Vinton and the Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT) staff on the design of the Glade Creek Greenway through
Vinyard Park West. The alignment will:
1) Avoid existing sports fields;
2) Preserve existing access points to Glade Creek;
3) Provide an appropriate terminus on the western edge of the park for the Town of
Vinton's Phase 3 greenway connection; and
4) Meet VDOT and federal design requirements.
The timeline for this project includes:
• September 21, 2021: Board of Supervisors held a public hearing and adopted a
resolution supporting the project
• October 1, 2021: Transportation Alternatives Program application submitted
• June 21, 2022: Commonwealth Transportation Board adopted the Fiscal Year
2023-2028 Six-Year Improvement Program, including project funding
• September 28, 2022: Board of Supervisors accepted and appropriated project
funding
• January 9, 2023: County staff initiated the preliminary engineering phase
• December 18, 2023: Right-of-Way Certification received
• March 19, 2024: 100 percent plans approved
• April 25, 2024: Environmental Certification received
• May 2, 2024: Staff determined that the updated estimate (based on March
Explore Park Greenway bids) exceeded available project funds
• May 22, 2024: Staff sent a letter to Roanoke Valley Transportation Planning
Organization (RVTPO) staff with an out-of-cycle request for additional
Transportation Alternatives Program balance entry funding to satisfy the project
deficit
• June 27, 2024: The RVTPO approved an out-of-cycle request for Transportation
Alternatives Program balance entry funding for the project
• July 22, 2024: Authorization received to advertise the project for construction
bids
DISCUSSION:
Additional Transportation Alternatives Program funding was requested to satisfy the
project deficit identified in the estimate updated in May. The project must show that it is
fully funded before the Federal Highway Administration will authorize construction
advertisement. With the addition of the Transportation Alternative Program funds from
the RVTPO, the project now meets that requirement and was advertised for
Page 2 of 3
construction on July 23, 2024. Three construction bids were received on September 3,
2024. Roanoke County has requested Federal Highway Administration authorization to
award the contract to the lowest bidder.
There have been no changes since the first reading held on September 10, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Current funds on the project total $651,375, which includes $130,275 in twenty percent
(20%) local match and $521,100 in eighty percent (80%) Federal funding.
On June 27, 2024, the RVTPO approved $248,022 Transportation Alternatives Program
balance entry funding for this project, which is eighty percent (80%) of the project deficit.
The remaining twenty percent (20%) local match of $62,005 is available in the Peters
Creek/Williamson Road Corridor Study CIP project. This CIP funding has not been
needed because VDOT initiated a Project Pipeline Study in 2023 for this corridor. The
Project Pipeline Study resulted in three SMART SCALE applications submitted in
August 2024.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.

Supervisor Mahoney moved to approve the ordinance. Supervisor Shepherd seconded

SUBMITTED BY: Tarek Moneir
Director of Development Services
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Ordinance authorizing the acquisition of new public drainage easements to the Board
of Supervisors of Roanoke County for multiple properties for the purpose of drainage
improvements, in the Vinton Magisterial District.
BACKGROUND:
Property Owners are granting drainage easements to the Roanoke County Board of
Supervisors located as shown on the attached plats. These easements are for the
purpose of correcting long-standing drainage problems.
DISCUSSION:
The subject parcels were developed decades ago, and the drainage system consists of
old galvanized pipe that is failing. The proposed work will address long standing
Page 1 of 3
problems. Total failure of the pipe could result in significant flooding and property
damage to the homes in the area.
The owners of the impacted parcels (as shown on the attached overall project
rendering) have agreed to donate public drainage easements to Roanoke County for
construction and maintenance of the proposed improvements.
Maps indicating the location of each proposed easement are attached to the easements
attached to this report.
The easements are necessary for the installation and maintenance of a new
drainage system. The new drainage system will be designed and constructed to
provide adequate drainage.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no cost to Roanoke County for preparation of the easement deeds as they
have been prepared by Roanoke County staff. Roanoke County will advertise for bids
for construction of the drainage improvements. The estimated cost of $450,000 for
this project is covered by the American Rescue Plan Act known as ARPA funding
available for the Department of Development Services and approved by the Board of
Supervisors. Plats were prepared by consultants as part of the project and will be
covered by the ARPA funding.
Future maintenance for this said easement will be covered by routine maintenance
efforts by Department of Development Services.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of this ordinance and scheduling the second reading for
October 8, 2024.
VOTE:
Supervisor Mahoney moved to approve the first reading of this ordinance and
scheduling the second reading for October 8, 2024. Supervisor Shepherd seconded the
motion. Motion approved.
