APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Election of Chairman and Vice-Chairman for 2026
BACKGROUND:
Each year at the annual organizational meeting of the Board of Supervisors, the Board
elects a Chairman and Vice-Chairman. Section 3.08 of the Roanoke County Charter
provides as follows:
Section 3.08. Chairman and Vice-Chairman. - The Board shall, at its first meeting in
January of each year, elect one of its number as Chairman, who shall preside at such
meeting and all other meetings during the term for which so elected, if present. The
Board also may elect a Vice-Chairman who shall, if so elected, preside at meetings in
the absence of the Chairman and may discharge any other duty of the chairman during
his absence or disability. The Chairman and Vice-Chairman shall preside for a term of
one (1) year. The Chairman and Vice-Chairman may succeed themselves in office. In
the case of the absence from any meeting of the Chairman and Vice-Chairman, the
members present shall choose one of their number as temporary Chairman. In addition
to the compensation provided members of the Board of Supervisors, the Board may by
ordinance fix an additional sum to be paid to the Chairman and Vice-Chairman, not to
exceed the limit established by general law, without regard to the maximum salary
limits.
Page 2 of 2
Chairmen and Vice-chairmen may be elected to serve for terms corresponding to their
terms as supervisors or may be elected for such other period as determined by the
governing body. If the Board fails to designate a specific term of office for which a
chairman or vice-chairman is elected, it shall be presumed that such officers were
elected for a term of one (1) year, and shall serve until their successors have been
elected and qualify (see Sec. 15.2-1422 of the Code of Virginia). It has been the custom
of the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County to elect these officers for terms of one
(1) year as provided in the Charter until the next organizational meeting

AGENDA ITEM: RESOLUTION ADOPTING A CODE OF ETHICS AND
CONDUCT FOR THE ROANOKE COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS
SUBMITTED BY: Peter S. Lubeck
County Attorney
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
The adoption of a code of ethics and conduct.
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors desires to annually adopt a code of ethics and conduct in

impropriety, and to avoid unduly influencing others outside the proper scope of office.
DISCUSSION:
The Board desires to institute the practice of adopting, annually, a code of ethics and
conduct, as do many other local governing bodies in Virginia. The adoption of this
standard is in no way an expression of concern with the actions of any presently -serving
board member, but simply a desire to institute a new practice that the Board will hopes
will be of benefit to themselves and the public.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

conduct.

WHEREAS, recognizing that they are under constant observation by the media,
County employees, business owners, and other county residents, members of the
Roanoke County Board of Supervisors affirm that preserving the integrity and dignity of
the public office is essential for maintaining high levels of public confidence in our
institutions of government; and

avoid unduly influencing others outside the proper scope of their office, the members of
the Board of Supervisors intend to hereafter adopt a code of ethics and conduct,
annually, at the Board’s January organizational meetings.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke
County, that the Board of Supervisors adopts the Code of Conduct and Ethics which is
attached and incorporated hereto.
ROANOKE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
CODE OF ETHICS AND CONDUCT
Adopted January 13, 2026
Introduction
Recognizing that they are under constant observation by the media, County employees,
business owners, and other county residents, members of the Roanoke County Board of
Supervisors affirm that preserving the integrity and dignity of the public office is essential
for maintaining high levels of public confidence in our institutions of government .
Further, members of the Board recognize that as elected legislators, they are in positions
of power and influence. County employees, business owners, and other county residents
may feel a desire or obligation to afford members of the Board respect and deference.
Accordingly, in order to avoid any appearance of impropriety and to avoid unduly
influencing others outside the proper scope of their office, the members of the Board of
Supervisors hereby adopt the following code of ethics and conduct.
1) Members’ Conduct During Public Meetings
a. Members of the Board should demonstrate courtesy and extend respectful
consideration to each Board member, County employee, and citizen during
public meetings.
b. Members of the Board should refrain from behaviors or from making statements
that may cast doubt on the integrity and competence of the Board or County
employees.
c. Members of the Board should avoid the use of abusive and threatening
language or employ derogatory gestures during any public meeting or
gathering.
d. Board members should be fully prepared for all Board meetings, having
thoroughly studied and researched the agenda packet in preparation for casting
votes on all topics coming before the Board.
2) Members’ Conduct with County Employees Outside of Public Meetings
a. Members of the Board should support the maintenance of a positive and
constructive workplace environment for County.
b. Members of the Board should not use public resources that are not available
to the public in general, such as County staff time, equipment, supplies or
facilities, for private gain or personal purposes.
c. The Board of Supervisors, as the County’s legislative body, has delegated
authority for the administration of the County to the County Administrator.
Accordingly, individual members of the Board should not:
i. Give instruction and direction to County staff, other than to the County
Administrator or County Attorney. Members of the Board should not
unilaterally direct the County Administrator or County Attorney to take
any action, other than to prepare items for placement on the Board’s
agenda for the entire Board’s consideration.
ii. Request or organize meetings with County staff, other than with the
County Administrator or County Attorney. Members of the Board will not
attend County staff meetings unless requested by the County
Administrator.
iii. Members of the Board should not disrupt County staff while they are in
meetings, on the phone, or performing their job functions in order to have
their individual needs met.
iv. Instruct any County employee, including the County Administrator or
County Attorney, not to share any information with other members of the
Board. Members of the Board acknowledge that the County
Administrator and County Attorney serve the Board as a whole; with
respect to the County Attorney, an attorney-client relationship with the
County Attorney exists with the Board as a whole, and not with individual
members.
v. Solicit political support from staff, nor require political support of
appointees to boards or commissions. Staff and appointees may, as
private citizens with constitutional rights, support political candidates,
but all such activities must be done away from the workplace.
3) Members’ Conduct with the Public Outside of Public Meetings
a. Members of the Board should be mindful, in their interactions with business
owners and citizens, of the deference and respect given them by virtue of their
position.
b. Members of the Board should not share personal opinions in such a way as to
give the impression that they are speaking on behalf of the Board as a whole.
c. Upon receiving information or complaints from County citizens, members of the
Board should share such information or complaints with County Administration
for appropriate investigation and action. Members of the Board should not play
an active role in facilitating the resolution of any such complaints, including
providing assurances of outcomes, or giving direction, to County employees,
citizens, or business owners.
4) Compliance and Enforcement
a. Members of the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors have the primary
responsibility to ensure that the standards of ethics and conduct set forth herein
are understood and met, and that the public can continue to have full
confidence in the integrity of government. To this end, the Board of Supervisors
may impose sanctions on members whose conduct does not comply with these
standards pursuant to the following procedures:
i. In the event a member of the Board believes that a fellow Board member
has violated the provisions of this Code of Ethics and Conduct, he or
she may submit a written complaint to the Clerk of the Board. Such
written complaint and all communications under this subsection may be
submitted by email.
ii. The Clerk shall forward the complaint to all members of the Board within
a timely manner, not to exceed two (2) business days of receipt of the
complaint.
iii. The accused Board member shall be afforded a reasonable period of
time following receipt of the complaint, but not to exceed five (5)
business days, to provide a written response to the Clerk of the Board
pertaining to all allegations. The Clerk shall forward this response to all
members of the Board within two (2) business days of receipt.
iv. The full Board, the County Administrator, and the County Attorney shall
meet (at a regularly scheduled or special meeting) within two (2) weeks
of receiving the respondent’s written reply during which time the Board
shall convene into closed session to discuss the allegations and the
respondent’s reply. During this closed meeting, the chairperson shall
pool the members regarding their disposition on the alleged violation and
then direct the County Attorney to draft a resolution either affirming the
violation or dismissing it in full or in part.
v. The resolution detailing the complaint, the accused member’s response,
and the Board’s dispositional position shall be placed on the agenda of
the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board.
vi. If, by a majority vote, the Board finds that this Code of Ethics and
Conduct was violated by a member of the Board, one or more of the
following penalties may be imposed by a separate vote requiring 4 votes
in the affirmative:
1. Letter of reprimand and/or censure,
2. Removal from any/ all committees, boards, or commissions, and/
or,
3. A fine of $100 for each individual first offense and $500 for every
violation thereafter not to exceed $1,000 in any calendar year.
vii. If the chairperson is the alleged violator, the vice-chairperson shall carry
out the chairperson’s duties, including conducting such business items
on the Board’s agenda.

N. SECOND READINGS OF ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARINGS
Action No. 121625-14 Item N.1
1. The petition of the Economic Development Authority of Roanoke County to
rezone approximately 36.501 acres from PTD, Planned Technology
Development District, to R-3, Medium Density Multi-Family Residential District, to
construct townhouses located at 2111, 2112, 2121 and 2351 Cardinal Park
Drive, Vinton Magisterial District. (Philip Thompson, Director of Planning)
(Second Reading and Public Hearing)
Before Mr. Thompson presented this item, Supervisor Radford stated that Muse
Drive had been removed from the petition.
13 citizens were signed up to speak, and 12 spoke. Some were in favor of this item;
some were against. The main concern was Muse Drive.
Supervisor Shepherd found that the proposed rezoning request:
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:
Page 8 of 9
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.
Supervisor North seconded the motion. Motion approved.

Hardy Road, Vinton Magisterial District. (Philip Thompson, Director of Planning)
(Second Reading and Public Hearing)
No speakers were present.
Supervisor Shepherd found that the proposed rezoning request:
1. Is consistent with the current Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan,

3. Will not result in substantial detriment to the community.
Therefore, moved that the Board approve the rezoning request as it has been
requested.

· November 18, 2025: The Board of Supervisors held a work session to discuss
Countywide traffic calming efforts and the results of the Huntridge Road survey; and
· December 11, 2025: A Huntridge Road community meeting was held with 47
attendees to share the results of the survey and to discuss next steps.
All survey results support:
· Installing two sets of speed boards on Huntridge Road; and
· Requesting that VDOT extend the double -yellow centerline along Huntridge Road
from its current terminus at the eastern Labradore Drive intersection to the Cortland
Road intersection.
Huntridge Road resident survey results support:
· Installing signs where an additional $200 fine for speeding may apply.
There was not strong support for striping a white line on one side of Huntridge Road
between Golden Circle and Cortland Road to indicate where on -street parking would be
allowed. Adding a white line would narrow the driver’s perception of the width of the
road to potentially reduce speeds.
DISCUSSION:
A resolution of support is needed from the Board of Supervisors indicating support for
installation of two sets of speed boards similar to those installed on Meadowlark Road
and Canter Drive, and the additional $200 fine signs. The resolution would be forwarded
to VDOT as part of a Land Use Permit application. VDOT does not need a resolution to
extend the double-yellow centerline along Huntridge Road.
The additional $200 fine signs can be installed shortly after VDOT receives the
resolution. The speed boards will require field work to determine appropriate locations,
coordination with adjacent property owners, purchase and installation in conformance
with Roanoke County’s procurement process. Extension of the double -yellow centerline
along Huntridge Road can occur in Spring 2026 after VDOT studies the roadway,
determines a schedule and completes the striping when weather permits.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Purchasing and installing two sets of back-to-back, solar-powered speed boards is
estimated at approximately $17,000. This project can be funded from Board
Contingency funds. The additional $200 fine sign installation and centerline striping can
be accomplished by VDOT at no cost to Roanoke County.

If yes, consider:
•Asking for locality share from Salem for two shuttle stops
•Increasing fares
•Asking the Regional Commission to apply on behalf of Roanoke County for TRIP
funding under Regional Connectivity and expand program
•Providing all funding through Roanoke County funds

County funds, with the following service
changes:
•Remove Fridays –10% of reservations

a.m. to 6:00 p.m.)

•Grant funding is available through November
2026. For the remainder of FY27 (four
months of service) the cost would total
