AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: March 25, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance authorizing the issuance of not to exceed
$46,560,000 General Obligation School Bonds of the County
of Roanoke, Virginia, to be sold through the Virginia Public
School Authority (VPSA)
SUBMITTED BY: Laurie Gearheart
Director of Finance and Management Services
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Authorize the issuance of General Obligation Schools Bonds through VPSA in an
amount not to exceed $46,560,000
BACKGROUND:
VPSA loans are a part of the financing strategy, as outlined in the Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) between the County and Schools regarding Joint Capital Funding
as approved by resolution by the Board of Supervisors on April 11, 2023 and amended
on August 6, 2024 to construct a new Roanoke County Career and Technology Center
(RCCTC).
DISCUSSION:
A new 123,289 square foot two-story building for the RCCTC has been approved to be
built to house programs for auto repair and bodywork, communications, construction
trades, cosmetology, criminal justice, culinary arts, dental, EMT, HVAC, manufacturing
trades, nursing, radiology, and ROTC. There will be fourteen (14) classrooms
associated with labs. Special education, life skills, and English classrooms will also be
provided. At the entrance and adjacent to the culinary lab will be a common area that
can be divided into two spaces with a vertically operated partition. A secure entry and
administration suite with offices, counseling, conference rooms, and a clinic will open
Page 1 of 3
into the common space, which is centrally located between the two classroom wings.
The RCCTC will support 830 high school students daily, but not all students are present
simultaneously.
The estimated total project costs for the new RCCTC is approximately $79.97 million,
with $4.10 million funded with cash, $4.31 in Virginia Department of Education School
Construction grants, $25 million in Virginia Board of Education Literary loan fund, and
$46.560 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.
VPSA bonds are sold twice a year so the next available bond issuance is the spring of
2025. The VPSA application was submitted in February for an amount not to exceed
$46,560,000, with the bonds expected to be sold in Spring 2025.
The first debt payment on the proposed bond issuance will occur in the 2026-27 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 Spring of 2025.
The School Board approved a reimbursement resolution on July 27, 2023 for this
project to allow all project costs incurred prior to the bond sale to be reimbursed from a
future VPSA bond issue.
The School Board has adopted the necessary resolution to participate in the Spring
2025 issuance. 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 public hearing is scheduled for March
25, 2025.
There have been no changes since the first reading of the ordinance on March 11,
2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for this project was included in the fiscal year 2025-2034 Capital Improvement
Program and appropriated by the Board of Supervisors. The budget was also a part of
Page 2 of 3
the amended MOU between the County and Schools regarding Joint Capital Funding.
Debt payments for this borrowing will begin in fiscal year 2026-2027 and are factored
into the debt capacity for school capital improvements. 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 $46.560 million will allow the County to stay within the limits of the
County debt policy approved by the Board.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
VOTE:
Supervisor Mahoney moved to approve the ordinance. Supervisor North seconded the
motion. Motion approved.

COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION
CENTER, ON MARCH 25, 2025
ORDINANCE 032525-2 AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF NOT TO
EXCEED$46,560,000 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 $46,560,000 and to issue its general obligation school bond (as
more specifically defined below, the "Local School Bond") for the purpose of financing a
portion of the costs of the construction and equipping of, and the site work for, a new
building for the Roanoke County Career and Technical Center, which constitutes a capital
project for public school purposes, as the same may be amended by the Board from time
to time (collectively, the "Project") and the costs of issuing the Local School Bond;
WHEREAS, the County held a public hearing, duly noticed, on March 25, 2025, 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");
WHEREAS, the School Board of the County (the "School Board") has, by
resolution, requested the Board to authorize the issuance of the Local School Bond and
consented to the issuance of the Local School Bond;
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 spring of 2025 (the
"VPSA Bonds");
Page 1 of 10
200903555.3
WHEREAS, the Bond Sale Agreement (as defined below) shall indicate that
$46,560,000 is the amount of proceeds requested (the "Proceeds Requested") from
VPSA in connection with the sale of the Local School Bond;
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;
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 March 11, 2025, and
the second reading and public hearing of this ordinance was held on March 25, 2025.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ENACTED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF
THE COUNTY OF ROANOKE, VIRGINIA:

hereby determines that it is advisable to contract a debt and issue and sell its general
obligation school bond as the Local School Bond referenced above in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed $46,560,000 for the purpose of financing the Project and
the costs of issuing the Local School Bond. The Board hereby authorizes the issuance
and sale of the Local School Bond in the form and upon the terms established pursuant
to this Ordinance.
2. Sale of the Local School Bond. The sale of the Local School Bond, within
the parameters set forth in paragraph 4 of this Ordinance, to VPSA is authorized. Given

paragraph 1 of this Ordinance restricts VPSA's ability to generate the Proceeds
Requested, however, the Local School Bond may be sold for a purchase price not lower
than 95% of the Proceeds Requested. The Chairman of the Board, the County
Administrator, or either of them (each a "Delegate") and such other officer or officers of
the County as either may designate are hereby authorized and directed to enter into an
agreement with VPSA providing for the sale of the Local School Bond to VPSA(the"Bond
Sale Agreement"). The Bond Sale Agreement shall be in substantially the form submitted

date of the VPSA Bonds, a portion of the proceeds of which will be used to purchase the
Local School Bond, and provided further that the true interest cost of the Local School
Bond does not exceed five and fifty one-hundredths percent (5.50%) per annum. The
Interest Payment Dates, the Principal Payment Dates and the Principal Installments are
subject to change at the request of VPSA. Each Delegate is hereby authorized and
directed to accept changes in the Interest Payment Dates, the Principal Payment Dates
and the Principal Installments at the request of VPSA based on the final term to maturity

AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance Amending Chapter 2 (Administration), Article V
(County Board Organization and Procedure), Sections 2-110
(Roll Call) and 2-113 (Order of Business) of the Roanoke
County Code
SUBMITTED BY: Peter S. Lubeck
County Attorney
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Amendments to Sections 2-110 and 2-113 of the County Code.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Section 2-110(b) of the County Code provides direction for the seating arrangement of
members of the Board. However, such direction is incomplete and does not include
instructions on where the Board member from the Hollins Magisterial District should sit.
It has accordingly been proposed that Section 2-110(b) be deleted from the County
Code.
Section 2-113 of the County Code sets forth the order of business for County Board
meetings, and states that "the chair may, during the meeting, rearrange the items on the
agenda to conduct the board's business in a more expeditious manner, subject to the
consent of the majority of the board." Recognizing that the Board's business may be
conducted more expeditiously by occasionally holding work sessions and closed
sessions prior to the general open session, the Board desires to allow for more flexibility
in setting its order of business. It is proposed that the chair have the flexibility of
rearranging the items of business set forth in Section 2-113 prior to the meeting in order
to give the Board and Roanoke County citizens advance notice of any such changes.

SUBMITTED BY:
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Approval of the County's participation in the proposed settlement with the Henry Schein
Defendants.
BACKGROUND:
The opioid epidemic that has cost thousands of human lives across the country also
impacts the County of Roanoke by adversely impacting the delivery of emergency
medical, law enforcement, criminal justice, mental health and substance abuse
services, and other services by the County's various departments and agencies.
The County has been required and will continue to be required to allocate substantial
taxpayer dollars, resources, staff energy and time to address the damage the opioid
epidemic has caused and continues to cause the citizens of the County.
The County has filed suit against Henry Schein and its related entities, Insource and
GIV (collectively, the "Henry Schein Defendants"), for their role in the distribution and
sale of the pharmaceutical opioid products that have fueled the opioid epidemic that has
harmed the County. During the discovery process, it has been confirmed that the Henry
Page 1 of 2
Schein Defendants have had some, but minimal, involvement in distributing opioids in
the Commonwealth of Virginia (including Roanoke County).
The County's suit seeks recovery of the public funds previously expended and to be
expended in the future to abate the consequences and harms of the opioid epidemic.
DISCUSSION:
Settlement proposals have been negotiated that will cause the Henry Schein
Defendants to pay $450,000 to settle fifty-nine (59) Virginia local government opioid-
related claims against them. Roanoke County's anticipated share of this settlement
amount is estimated to include a direct distribution amount of$9,290.41.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Roanoke County's anticipated share of this settlement amount is estimated to include a
direct distribution amount of $9,290.41. Additionally, grants from proceeds of this
settlement may be available through the Virginia Opioid Abatement Authority.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: March 25, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: The petition of LovABLE Services, Inc. to obtain a special
use permit to operate a drive-in or fast food restaurant on
approximately 0.7 acre zoned C-1, Low Intensity
Commercial District, located at 6426 Merriman Road, Cave
Spring Magisterial District.
SUBMITTED BY: Philip Thompson
Director of Planning
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Second reading and public hearing for a special use permit to operate a drive-in or fast
food restaurant in a low intensity commercial zoning district.
BACKGROUND:
• The Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance defines restaurant, drive-in or fast food,
as "an establishment primarily engaged in the preparation of food and
beverages, for either take-out, delivery or table service, served at a counter, a
drive-up or drive through service facility or by curb service. Typical uses include
drive-in or fast food restaurants or coffee shops."
• A restaurant, drive-in or fast food, is only permitted in the C-1, Low Intensity
Commercial District, with an approved special use permit. The use and design
standards associated with a drive-in or fast food restaurant relate to drive-
through facilities, restaurants within shopping centers, and expansions of existing
uses, none of which apply to this petition.
• The property contains a commercial building which was originally Starkey
School, with history dating back to 1894. The property is listed in the Virginia
Page 1 of 3
Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places.
DISCUSSION:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this application on March 4, 2025.
Five (5) citizens spoke in support of the project stating that the project would be an
asset to the community while preserving the historic building. The Planning Commission
discussed: the comprehensive workforce training program; that the applicant's current
space is leased in the City of Roanoke; number of employees; floodplain issues; parking
and site development regulations; this would be an adaptive reuse of a historical
building; most of the improvements would be interior renovations to the building;
surrounding zoning and land uses; future land use designations; and how the project
would add value to the community.
The Planning Commission recommends approval of the special use permit for a drive-in
or fast food restaurant with the following condition:
. The property shall be developed in general conformance with the concept plan
titled "Chris's Coffee & Custard Concept Plan v2 For Special Use Permit
Application" prepared by Parker Design Group dated 01/08/2025, subject to any
changes required by the comprehensive site plan review process.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this agenda item.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the second reading of an
ordinance for a special use permit to operate a drive-in or fast food restaurant on
approximately 0.7 acre zoned C-1, Low Intensity Commercial District, with the following
condition:
. The property shall be developed in general conformance with the concept plan
titled "Chris's Coffee & Custard Concept Plan v2 For Special Use Permit
Application" prepared by Parker Design Group dated 01/08/2025, subject to any
changes required by the comprehensive site plan review process.
VOTE:
Supervisor Mahoney found that the proposed special use permit:
1. Meets the requirements of Section 30-19-1 of the Roanoke County Code;
Page 2 of 3
2. Is in conformance with the Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan; and
3. Will have a minimum adverse impact on the surrounding neighborhood and
community.
Therefore, moved that the Board approve the petition to obtain a special use permit,
with the following one (1) condition:
1. The property shall be developed in general conformance with the concept plan
titled "Chris's Coffee & Custard Concept Plan v2 For Special Use Permit
Application" prepared by Parker Design Group dated 01/08/2025, subject to any
changes required by the comprehensive site plan review process.
