limits.

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

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

AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance approving a Fourth Amendment to Rooftop Lease
with T-Mobile Northeast LLC on property owned by the
Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia located at
220 East Main Street, Salem, Virginia
SUBMITTED BY: Ashley King
Director of General Services
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Roanoke County staff have been in discussions with representatives of T-Mobile
Northeast LLC. T-Mobile Northeast LLC wishes to renew the current lease. As such, an
amendment to the current lease is necessary.
BACKGROUND:
On May 15, 2001, the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors acquired the office
building known as the Salem Bank & Trust Building to house the Roanoke County
Department of Social Services. 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.
Page 1 of 2
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
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).
There have been no changes since the first reading held on December 16, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is currently no fiscal impact, other than rental proceeds, associated with this
agenda item.

MEETING DATE: January 13, 2026
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution designating Subdivision Agent and Alternate
Subdivision Agent for Roanoke County
SUBMITTED BY: Tarek Moneir
Director of Development Services
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Agenda item requesting the Board of Supervisors appoint a Subdivision Agent and an
Alternate Subdivision Agent.
BACKGROUND:
On February 25, 2020, the Board of Supervisors appointed Ms. Denise Sowder as
Subdivision Agent for Roanoke County and Ms. Rebecca James, then Planner II, as
Alternate Subdivision Agent.
With the retirement of Ms. Sowder effective December 1, 2025, it is necessary for the
Board to appoint a new Subdivision Agent and an Alternate Subdivision Agent to
continue the administration of the County's subdivision regulations.
DISCUSSION:
Section 15.2-2255 of the Code of Virginia vests the local governing body with the
responsibility to administer and enforce subdivision regulations. The statute further
authorizes the governing body to delegate this responsibility to the Planning
Commission or to another individual or entity. Historically, the Board has delegated this

COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: January 13, 2026
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution supporting Huntridge Road Traffic Calming
Measures, Hollins Magisterial District
SUBMITTED BY: Megan G. Cronise
Assistant Director of Planning
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
County staff frequently receive neighborhood speeding complaints. The primary ways to
address speeding are through enforcement efforts and/or through traffic calming
measures. Three traffic calming measures are proposed to slow vehicle speeds on
Huntridge Road in the vicinity of The Orchards neighborhood.
BACKGROUND:
Huntridge Road has been the source of many speeding complaints over several years.
Police Department speed studies conducted in 2025 have routinely shown 85th
percentile speeds of between 31 and 33 miles per hour on Huntridge Road, which is
posted at 25 mile per hour.
Over the last few months, County Administration, Police and Planning staff collaborated
with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to develop potential traffic
calming options. Community engagement efforts have included:
• October 6, 2025: Speeding data and three potential traffic calming solutions were
presented at the Hollins Community Meeting with a survey to provide feedback;
• October 10, 2025: A fourth potential traffic calming solution was added to the
updated survey, which was mailed out to 1,460 property owners and renters;
• November 3, 2025: 384 surveys were completed and 52 surveys (14%) were
completed by residents who live on Huntridge Road;
Page 1 of 3
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.
