BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
The Board of Supervisors accepted an unsolicited PPEA proposal (pursuant to the
Public-Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act (PPEA) for review of the
Hollins Fire Station redevelopment project, located at 7401 Barrens Road in the County
of Roanoke (the "Hollins Fire Station"). For simultaneous consideration, the County
solicited any competing proposals that comply with the PPEA and the Guidelines. No
competing proposals were received.
The County's PPEA Guidelines state that "The Board of Supervisors will determine at
the initial stage review" the procedures that will be used in procuring services for
completion of a project.
Insofar as the proposals predominantly involve professional services (as defined in

procurement process of "competitive negotiation" for professional services (as set forth
Page 1 of 2
in Section 2.2-4302.2(A)(4) of the Code of Virginia).
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this determination by the Board.

RESOLUTION 021026-3 IN OPPOSITION TO
1) HOUSE BILL 1374, WHICH WOULD AMEND TITLE 23.1 OF THE

INSTITUTE UNDER THE BOARD OF VISITORS OF VIRGINIA
STATE UNIVERSITY, AND
2) HOUSE BILL 1377, WHICH WOULD CREATE A TASK FORCE TO
EXAMINE HIGHER EDUCATION AT THE VIRGINIA MILITARY
INSTITUTE AND ASSESS WHETHER OTHER PUBLIC
INSTITUTIONS COULD REPLACE THE ROLE OF THE VIRGINIA
MILITARY INSTITUTE
WHEREAS, House Bill 1374 has been introduced in the 2026 General Assembly
Session; the bill proposes to dissolve the Board of Visitors of the Virginia Military
Institute ("VMI") and place the VMI under the governance of the Board of Visitors of
Virginia State University; and
WHEREAS, House Bill 1377 has also been introduced in the 2026 General
Assembly; the bill proposes to create a task force to determine whether VMI should
continue to be a state-sponsored institution of higher education in the Commonwealth of
Virginia; and
WHEREAS, VMI was founded in 1839 as America's first state-sponsored and
supported military college and is the oldest public senior military college in the United
States; and
WHEREAS, in 1839, Lexington and Rockbridge County citizens developed the
foundational design and principles of VMI, which they later gained Commonwealth
approval to implement, establishing the citizen-soldier model; and
Page 1 of 3
WHEREAS, in keeping with its founding principles and unlike any other Senior
Military College in the United States, VMI enrolls cadets only, awards bachelor's
degrees exclusively, and grants degrees in disciplines in engineering, science, and the

WHEREAS, VMI has produced approximately 26,000 graduates during its 186
years of existence, many of whom have served the United States of America, the U.S.

graduates who have obtained the rank of general or flag officer; and
WHEREAS, VMI is the only Virginia institution of higher education with a State
Cadet program that graduates citizen-soldiers to work directly for the Commonwealth
and benefit all citizens and has produced leaders in the military, education, medicine,
law, and engineering; and
WHEREAS, VMI, as a treasured part of the history of the Commonwealth of
Virginia, has more than earned the right to govern itself under its own Board of Visitors
as it has done for over 186 years.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors of
Roanoke County
1. Hereby expresses its opposition to 1) House Bill 1374, which proposes to

examine higher education at the VMI and to assess whether other public

SUBMITTED BY: Anna Cloeter
General Registrar and Director of Elections
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
The current polling place for Hollins Precinct 206 is the Hollins Library. Due to planned
construction in 2026 at the Hollins Library, it is necessary to temporarily relocate the
polling place from the Hollins Library.
BACKGROUND:
Virginia Code § 24.2-306, § 24.2-307, and § 24.2-310 authorize the governing body of
each county to establish the polling place for each precinct in that jurisdiction by

The current polling place for Hollins Precinct 206 is the Hollins Library. There is planned
construction scheduled to begin at the Hollins Library in May 2026, which is expected to
conclude in July 2027. Election officials have determined that the citizens would be
better served with the temporary relocation of the Hollins District Precinct 206 polling
place to North Roanoke Baptist Church, located at 6402 Peters Creek Road, Roanoke,
Virginia 24019. Leaders at the North Roanoke Baptist Church have shared that the
church agrees to serve as the temporary polling place for Hollins Precinct 206 during
construction at the Hollins Library. An ordinance is needed from the Board of
Supervisors to effectuate this temporary change in polling place.

FISCAL IMPACT:
To comply with the Virginia Code, this matter was noticed by publication in the Roanoke
Times, and the County provided funds for that notice. There will also be costs
associated with notices that must be sent by mail to registered voters impacted by this
proposed polling place change.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: February 10, 2026
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance Accepting and Appropriating $24,849 from
Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation for new armor
plates for the SWAT Team.
SUBMITTED BY: Michael Poindexter
Chief of Police
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Ordinance Accepting and Appropriating $24,849 from Firehouse Subs Public Safety
Foundation for new armor plates for the SWAT Team.
BACKGROUND:
The armor plates currently in use are due to expire in 2026. In addition to reaching the
end of their service life, some of the current plates are improperly sized, making them
less effective. The new Hardwire Type III+ Shooters Curve ballistic plates will provide
vital protection during high-risk tactical operations. These new plates will also be sized
properly for each member and weigh less than the current plates. This will not only
increase comfort and the level of protection but also reduce fatigue and increase
mobility. This upgrade will ensure enhanced safety for our officers, enabling them to
respond more effectively to critical incidents. The SWAT team is the primary tactical
response unit for Roanoke County and the Town of Vinton, and the secondary response
unit for Roanoke City and the City of Salem.
DISCUSSION:
The Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation Inc. has awarded the Roanoke County
Police Department a grant to purchase new armor plates in the amount of $24,849.
These funds will be utilized for the specific purpose of purchasing the Safariland armor
plates from Strohman Enterprises.

There have been no changes since the first reading held on January 27, 2026.

county match is required.

Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.

AGENDA ITEM: Resolution adopting the updated Roanoke Valley-Alleghany
Regional Commission Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan 2025
Update
SUBMITTED BY: Tarek Moneir
Director of Development Services
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Adopting an update for the Roanoke Valley-Alleghany Regional Commission Pre-
Disaster Mitigation Plan.
BACKGROUND
In 2003, the Roanoke Valley-Allegheny Regional Commission (RVARC) received
funding from the Virginia Department of Emergency Management to develop a Regional
Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan. This plan covered all of the unincorporated areas, towns,
cities and counties within the RVARC service area; except the localities of Franklin
County and the towns of Boones Mill and Rocky Mount, which are covered by the West
Piedmont Planning District Regional Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan. The Regional Pre
Disaster Mitigation Plan was completed and adopted by the Roanoke County Board of
Supervisors on October 11, 2005.
The Hazard Mitigation Plan fulfills the Federal requirements for the Disaster Mitigation
Act of 2000. The plan identifies hazards; estimates losses; and establishes community
goals, objectives and mitigation activities that are appropriate for the Roanoke Valley-
Alleghany region and the various organizations which are represented in the plan. The
plan was last updated and adopted in 2019. These plans must be updated every five
years. The 2019 plan expired in September 2024.
Page 1 of 3
DISCUSSION
FEMA defines "mitigation" as any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate long
term risk to life and property from a hazard event. Mitigation, also known as prevention,
encourages reduction of hazard vulnerability. The goal of mitigation is to save lives and
reduce property damage. Mitigation can accomplish this, and should be cost-effective
and environmentally sound. This, in turn, can reduce the enormous cost of disasters to
property owners and all levels of government. In addition, mitigation can protect critical
community facilities, reduce exposure to liability, and minimize community disruption.
Examples of mitigation include land use planning, adoption of building codes and
floodplain regulations, and acquisition or flood-proofing of flood-prone homes.
An adopted Hazard Mitigation Plan allows local governments to apply for disaster
mitigation funds which become available following a natural disaster. In September
2024 Hurricane Helene struck Virginia and received a federal disaster declaration.
Quick adoption of this plan update is important for those local governments which are
applying for funds associated with the Hurricane Helene disaster.
This plan incorporates the following jurisdictions. All of these jurisdictions have been
active participants in the plan.
Alleghany County; Botetourt County; Craig County; Roanoke County; City of Covington;
City of Roanoke; City of Salem; Town of Buchanan; Town of Clifton Forge; Town of
Fincastle; Town of Vinton; Roanoke Valley-Alleghany Regional Commission; Roanoke
Valley Resource Authority; and Western Virginia Water Authority.
The plan also covers the geographic area of the Towns of New Castle and Iron Gate.
While New Castle and Iron Gate did not meet the threshold of participation in this plan,
their emergency services efforts operate jointly with Craig County and Alleghany County
respectively.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of the plan does not obligate the County financially or legally to accomplish
any of the goals or projects contained in the plan. Please note that even though this is a
"regional" plan, the goals, strategies and projects for Roanoke County are unique for
Roanoke County and are outlined in the section designated specifically for Roanoke
County. Accordingly, no appropriation of funds is required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the approval of the resolution adopting the Roanoke Valley-
Alleghany Regional Commission Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan.
