Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: Accept audited financial results for the County of Roanoke and allocate year-end funds for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. BACKGROUND: Brown Edwards and Company completed the audit of the financial operations of the County of Roanoke for the year ended June 30, 2025. The County Audit Committee met on December 16, 2025, to review the results of the year's operations. The County received a clean and unmodified opinion. Staff from Brown Edwards and Company will present the audit information to the Board at the meeting. DISCUSSION: On September 23, 2025, staff reviewed preliminary unaudited financial results for June 30, 2025, and there have been no changes since that work session. Below is the information for the County regarding the General Government results of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. Revenue collections ended the year above the amended budget as a result of: - Real Estate Taxes were $959,842 above budget due to increases in assessed home values. Page 1 of 3 - Personal Property Taxes were $1,703,132 above budget due to increases in assessed personal property values as well as a continued strong used car market. - Sales Taxes were below target by $886,942 due to inflationary impacts along with plateaued consumer spending. - Business License Taxes met target at $30,924 above budget due to increased sales and higher gross receipts. - Meals Tax met target at $38,577 above budget due to consistent consumer spending combined with inflationary impacts on higher meal prices. - Hotel/Motel Tax was $251,977 above budget due to inflationary impacts along with increased business travel and regional events. Expenditure savings were recognized as a result of: - Personnel and benefit costs were under budget by $297,674 due to slightly higher-than-expected vacancy savings from turnover in existing budgeted positions. - Operating expenses were under budget by $136,843, but the County again saw increased costs for fuel, utilities, contracted repairs, and vehicle maintenance. - Transfers and other expenditures were below budget by $108,707 due to a lower required transfer for economic development incentives. FISCAL IMPACT: Budget Ordinance 052824-3.a for the fiscal year 2024-2025 fiscal year Operations Budget provides that all unexpended general government expenditures and revenues collected in excess of budget shall not lapse but be re-appropriated and presented to the Board for recommendations of allocations and designations based on the Comprehensive Financial Policy.

E_2 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: December 16, 2025 AGENDA ITEM: RESOLUTION SUPPORTING FUNDING FOR REPAIRS AND STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY FOUNDATION STRATEGIC PLAN "BLUE RIDGE RISING" ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY IN NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA SUBMITTED BY: Doug Blount Deputy County Administrator APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: Resolution supporting funding for repairs and strategic implementation of the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation Strategic Plan "Blue Ridge Rising" along the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina and Virginia BACKGROUND: Blue Ridge Rising is an initiative of the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation, it is the nonprofit fundraising partner for the Blue Ridge Parkway (Parkway), and its purposes are to strengthen cross-jurisdictional relationships, foster economic development within the region's gateway communities, and establish a unified regional voice. The Parkway is one of the most visited units of the National Park System; it hosted 15.9 million visitors along its ridges in 2021. The 469-mile ribbon of road travels through 12 counties in Virginia and 17 counties in North Carolina, connecting rural mountain communities, towns and cities. The Parkway generates approximately $1.3 billion of positive annual economic impact to the adjacent communities. The Parkway is a catalyst for promoting regional tourism and is a significant contributor to regional economic vitality. Blue Ridge Rising will establish a collective regional vision that celebrates our shared Page 1 of 3 culture, protects our unique natural resources, and strengthens the regional economy. Blue Ridge Rising is made possible in part by two grants from the U.S. Economic Development Administration to the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation. Initiative components of Blue Ridge Rising includes creating a regional action plan based on community input to address issues like improving broadband and trail infrastructure, protecting viewsheds, and developing the tourism workforce. The initiative includes regional summits, community outreach, and specific projects funded by grants to implement the action plan. Blue Ridge Rising supports 29 counties and seeks to create a unified voice for these gateway communities to foster economic growth and enhance the overall visitor experience on the Parkway. DISCUSSION: The Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation has requested a resolution of support for their Strategic Plan "Blue Ridge Rising". Staff have met with representatives of the Blue Ridge Parkway to discuss Roanoke County's involvement with Explore Park and how important the Blue Ridge Parkway is to the success of the park. In addition, Roanoke County has communicated the importance of promoting the Roanoke Region along the Blue Ridge Parkway and the need for coordination and support of Explore Park and hosting large regional events such as races along the Blue Ridge Parkway that connect to the Roanoke Region. Twenty of the twenty-nine counties along the Blue Ridge Parkway, including seven of the twelve here in Virginia, have passed a resolution supporting the implementation of the Blue Ridge Rising Strategic Plan and the repair of the Blue Ridge Parkway following Helene's devastation. This will ensure that priority projects will benefit every community along the parkway through our collaborative efforts. Currently, the Blue Ridge Foundation is funding projects at Mabry Mill to restore the attraction. Mabry Mill's roof replacement project was completed in August 2025, and the mill has reopened. The project involved a four-month, historically accurate restoration of the roof with hand-riven white oak shakes. Future plans include additional repairs inside the mill and clearing the pond on the property. There is also an initiative to recruit a concessionaire in the restaurant. On April 24, 2025, the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) awarded the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation (Foundation) a three-year grant of $5.13 million for this purpose. This Appalachian Regional Initiative for Stronger Economies (ARISE) grant covers 22 of the 29 counties bordering the Parkway, including all 17 Blue Ridge Rising Page 2 of 3 counties in North Carolina and 5 of the 12 Virginia counties. While the ARC grant does not cover all 29 counties, some actions will create an umbrella design or template that can be used to implement actions in non-ARC counties with other funds. In total, the Blue Ridge Rising Action Plan is a $12 million initiative covering all 29 counties. The Foundation continues to seek state funding from both North Carolina and Virginia, as well as grant funding from other sources, to meet the ARISE grant's match requirement and support those counties not eligible for ARC funds. Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation is not asking individual counties for funds. The resolution of support specifically outlines Roanoke County's request of support for marketing the Roanoke Region along the Parkway, coordinating support for Roanoke region events such as races, keeping the Blue Ridge Parkway open during Illuminights at Explore Park, and supporting the repair of the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation's Strategic Plan- "Blue Ridge Rising". The complete plan can be found at: https://blueridgerising.com/ FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this resolution.

Upon purchasing the property, the Board of Supervisors automatically assumed the role of Landlord under an existing Rooftop Lease Agreement. This lease was originally executed on October 1, 2000, between the building's former owner and Virginia PCS Alliance, LLC for the purpose of installing, operating, maintaining, repairing, and replacing telecommunications equipment. Since the acquisition, the agreement has remained in effect, undergoing three subsequent renewals (on August 13, 2003, December 11, 2007, and October 14, 2014) and has been formally assigned to T-Mobile Northeast LLC. The current Rooftop Lease with T- Mobile Northeast LLC is set to expire on January 31, 2026. DISCUSSION: Roanoke County staff have negotiated terms of a Fourth Amendment to Rooftop Lease with representatives of T-Mobile Northeast LLC (the draft Fourth Amendment to Rooftop Page 1 of 2 Lease is attached hereto). The draft lease includes an initial term of five years commencing on February 1, 2026, with a right to extend the lease for four (4) additional five (5) year terms. The lease includes a rental escalation clause that allows for the rent to increase automatically by 15% at each 5-year renewal term, with the next increase effective February 1, 2026 (which will bring the annual rent to $36,204.43 on February 1, 2026).

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the first reading of the ordinance and that the matter be scheduled for a second reading on January 13, 2026.

H.5 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: December 16, 2025 AGENDA ITEM: ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 5 (ANIMALS AND FOWL) OF THE ROANOKE COUNTY CODE SUBMITTED BY: Doug Barber Sr. Assistant County Attorney APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: Amendment of Chapter 5 of the Roanoke County Code BACKGROUND: Roanoke County police officers responsible for animal control were originally anticipated to also be involved with community service and thus were given the title of community service officers. Over the last few years, animal control issues and responsibilities have taken up all the time of currently assigned community services officers.. The Police Department is planning on creating a unit exclusively dedicated to community problem solving. Therefore, the Police Department would like to change the name of the "community services officers" to "animal control police officers" to more accurately reflect their duties and to deconflict the community services title for future use. DISCUSSION: It is proposed that Chapter 5 of the Roanoke County Code be amended, as set forth in the attached proposed ordinance, to change the title of Roanoke County police officers responsible for animal control from "community service officers" to "animal control police officers." There have been no changes since the first reading held on November 18, 2025. Page 1 of 2 FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of this ordinance. VOTE: Supervisor Mahoney moved to approve the ordinance. Supervisor Hooker seconded the motion. Motion approved.

SUBMITTED BY: Megan Baker Director of Economic Development APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: The Town of Vinton is requesting a Second Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding with Roanoke County for the Vinton/East County Hotel Project due to changes in the project timeline and acquisition of the former Vinton Dry Cleaners property. BACKGROUND: The original Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), executed in August 2021, established that the County would annually pay the Town up to $150,000 per year from net new taxes (including real estate, personal property, and sales taxes) generated by the Vinton/East County Hotel Project, for a maximum of three years and a total amount not to exceed $450,000. The first payment was originally scheduled for January 2024, with the final payment in January 2026. The First Amendment, executed in 2022, revised the agreement to delay the County's first annual payment of net new taxes until January 2025, extending the final payment to January 2027. The proposed Second Amendment updates the MOU to: Reflect a new developer for the project; Page 1 of 2 Include the additional dry cleaner parcel; Provide for reimbursement of all net new taxes over a maximum period of five years, not to exceed $500,000; and Remove reimbursement for any building permit fees paid by the developer. FISCAL IMPACT: Besides increasing the maximum potential incentive payments (in aggregate) from $450,000 to $500,000, there is no fiscal impact to approving the amdended agreement. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the resolution to enter into the revised Memorandum of Understanding with the Town of Vinton.

SUBMITTED BY: Philip Thompson Director of Planning APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: Agenda item for public hearing and second reading of an ordinance to rezone 36.501 acres from industrial to medium density multi-family residential to construct townhomes. BACKGROUND: • The Economic Development Authority of Roanoke County is petitioning to rezone approximately 36.501 acres of land zoned PTD, Planned Technology Development District, to R-3, Medium Density Multi-Family Residential District, to construct 175 townhomes. • The Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance defines a townhouse as "a grouping of three (3) or more attached single-family dwellings in a row in which each unit has its own front and rear access to the outside, no unit is located over another unit, and each unit is separated from any other unit by one (1) or more common walls." • Townhomes are permitted by-right in R-3, Medium Density Multi-Family Residential District. Page 1 of 3 DISCUSSION: The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this petition on December 2, 2025. Six (6) citizens spoke during the public hearing. Most of the speakers were opposed to the proposed road connection to Muse Drive but one citizen was supportive of the proposed road connection. Additional issues or concerns raised included: height of townhouses and potential sight lines into existing properties; increased buffers needed between townhouses and existing homes; impacts to public safety due to more housing; road connection should be located elsewhere; increased noise levels and noise during construction; impacts to wetlands; increased taxes as a result of the new development; would like to see fencing between townhouses and existing homes; increased traffic; and the need to conduct a speed study on Hardy Road to reduce speed limit. The Planning Commission discussed: the history of the Vinton Business Center; constraints on these properties for industrial development (wetlands, power line, size and shape of lots, etc.); need for housing diversity in the County; proposed development will generate less traffic than industrial uses; distance of Vinton Business Center from Interstate 81; potential speed study parameters; wetlands; height of townhouses; noise; traffic improvements have already been made at Vinton Business Center; surrounding land use; and the future land use designation. The Planning Commission recommends approval of the rezoning request from PTD to R-3 as presented. 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 rezoning approximately 36.501 acres from PTD, Planned Technology Development District, to R-3, Medium Density Multi-Family Residential District, with the following proffered condition: 1. The properties shall be developed in general conformance with the concept plan entitled "Vinton Business Center, Residential Concept Plan" prepared by Balzer and Associates, dated December 4, 2025, subject to any changes required during the comprehensive site plan review process. VOTE: (BOARD REPORT) Supervisor Shepherd found that the proposed rezoning request: Page 2 of 3 1. Is not consistent with the current Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan, but is consistent with the "Transition" future land use designation which was the future land use designation of this area prior to the adoption of the current Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan in 2024 and will fill a need for housing in Roanoke County, 2. Is good zoning practice, and 3. Will not result in substantial detriment to the community. Therefore, moved that the Board approve the petition to obtain a special use permit, with the following one (1) proffer: 1.
