On April 1, 2026, the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority (RVRA) Board adopted an operating and reserve budget for fiscal year 2026-2027. DISCUSSION: The fiscal year 2026-2027 operating budget for RVRA totals $19,824,759 and represents an overall increase of$708,025 from the prior year budget. The budget proposal reflects an increase in Municipal Tipping Fees from $58.00/ton to $59.75/ton and a Commercial Tipping Fee increase from $69.50/ton to $71.50/ton. Page 1 of 3 Highlights of the operating budget are as follows: Revenues • Projected increase of$683,025 in tipping fees is primarily due to the projected increase in tonnage and an increase in the municipal and private per ton disposal fee; • Projected increase in interest income of $50,000 due to current market conditions Expenses • Salary and Benefits increased by $359,939 primarily due to proposed salary increase of 3% for RVRA employees along with the increase in percentage based benefits and health insurance premiums, plus the addition of a new Facilities Manager position • Operating Costs decreased by $122,378 in transportation costs due to a newly negotiated transportation contract Transfer to reserves increased $466,774 See the attached Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Reserves and Budget for additional information. FISCAL IMPACT: The Roanoke Valley Resource Authority budget will impact the County in several ways: 1. Recycling and tipping fees totaling $2,739,000 are budgeted in the fiscal year 2026-2027 General Fund-Solid Waste budget. 2. The County will continue to receive a municipality fee of $350,000 annually from the RVRA to compensate for the siting of the landfill within the County. 3.

C.3 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: April 7, 2026 AGENDA ITEM: Resolution setting the allocation percentage for Personal Property Tax Relief in Roanoke County for the 2026 tax year SUBMITTED BY: Jessica Beemer Director of Finance APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: Establish the percentage for personal property tax relief in Roanoke County for the 2026 tax year BACKGROUND: The Personal Property Tax Relief Act (PPTRA or the Act) of 1998 established a State- wide program to provide relief to owners of personal use motor vehicles. The Act provides State funds to localities to reduce local government taxation of personal property. In 2004 and 2005, additional legislation was passed to amend the original Act. This legislation capped PPTRA at $950 million for all Virginia localities for tax years 2006 and beyond. PPTRA funds are allocated to individual localities based on each government's pro rata share of tax year 2004 payments from the Commonwealth. The County's share of the $950 million is $12,229,857. DISCUSSION: The amount the County receives from the State has stayed constant since 2006. However, the personal property tax base continues to change, which has caused less of the personal property tax bill to be offset by PPTRA Funds. The County has used a Personal Property Planning Model developed by the IT staff to Page 1 of 2 allocate the State block grant of $12,229,857. Based on this model, the calculated effective reimbursement rate for Roanoke County citizens for the tax year 2026 is 44.89% The Board is required by the State to annually adopt a resolution setting the percentage reduction in personal property for that year. The attached resolution establishes the percentage at 44.89% for the 2026 tax year. FISCAL IMPACT: The percentage reduction is calculated to distribute the $12,229,857 block grant allocation from the State as described above. There will be some timing delays in the receipt of the State funds since they are received in the following fiscal year (2026- 2027). However, we are allowed to accrue these funds back to the 2025-2026 year for accounting purposes, therefore our budget will be balanced. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution, which establishes the percentage reduction for personal property tax relief at 44.89% for Roanoke County for the 2026 tax year. VOTE: Supervisor North moved to adopt the resolution. Supervisor Radford seconded the motion. Motion approved.

SUBMITTED BY: Megan Baker Director of Economic Development APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: These are economic development performance based incentive agreements to assist Elbit Systems of America with their expansion in Roanoke County. BACKGROUND: Elbit Systems of America - Night Vision LLC (the "Company") operates a manufacturing facility in Roanoke County that produces advanced night vision and optical systems used by U.S. military and defense partners. As part of Elbit Systems of America, headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, the company supports national security through the production of high-performance technologies. The company is expanding its Roanoke County Operations, increasing production capacity and workforce to meet growing demand. In support of the expansion, there are two proposed economic development incentive agreements : (1) the County of Roanoke, the Roanoke County Economic Development Authority, and Elbit Systems of America -- Night Vision LLC (the "Local Incentive Agreement"); and (2) the County of Roanoke, the Virginia Economic Development Partnership Authority, the Roanoke County Economic Development Authority, and Elbit Page 1 of 3 Systems of America -- Night Vision LLC (the "State Incentive Agreement"). Elbit Systems of America intends to make a capital investment of approximately $30,216,548 million, of which approximately $18,695,933 will be invested in machinery and tools, approximately $6,900,000 will be invested in furniture, fixtures and business personal property, and approximately $4,620,614 will be invested in the construction, expansion, and up-fit of the buildings for the facility. The expansion, equipping, improvement, and operation of the facility will entail the creation and maintenance of 288 new jobs at the facility with an average salary of$68,134. The Local Incentive Agreement offers reimbursement of new tax revenues generated by the project over a six-year period, with a total estimated value of $1,200,000. Incentive payments are performance-based, with 80% tied to capital investment and 20% tied to job creation. The Company must meet annual cumulative capital investment and job creation thresholds (80% Years 1- 4 and 95% Years 5 - 6) to be eligible for payments The State Incentive Agreement includes up to $1,200,000 from the Commonwealth's Opportunity Fund (the "COF Grant"), $288,000 from the Virginia Jobs Investment Program (the "VJIP Grant"), and $300,000 from the Virginia Investment Performance Grant (the "VIP Grant"). The COF Grant will be disbursed after the required capital investment and job creation targets are met, as verified following the December 31, 2029 performance date, with payments anticipated to begin in 2030. The VIP Grant may be distributed as soon as performance targets are met. The VJIP Grant is paid as the company creates jobs, beginning after the Company has created at least 25 new jobs and made a capital investment of at least $1 million. FISCAL IMPACT: The Virginia Economic Development Partnership agreement requires no additional funds from Roanoke County beyond a portion of the Local Incentive Grant serving as match to the COF grant. The Local Incentive Grant will be in the form of foregone revenue. As such, no new funding is needed for this project. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of a resolution authorizing the execution of performance agreements between (1) the County of Roanoke, the Roanoke County Economic Development Authority, and Elbit Systems of America -- Night Vision LLC; and (2) the County of Roanoke, the Virginia Economic Development Partnership Authority, the Roanoke County Economic Development Authority, and Elbit Systems of America -- Night Vision LLC.

Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: Observance and Proclamation of Thursday, April 23, 2026, as National Arbor Day in Roanoke County. BACKGROUND: The Arbor Day Foundation has named Roanoke County a 2026 Tree City USA Community for its commitment to effective urban forestry management. It is the 154th anniversary of Arbor Day. The Arbor Day Foundation, is the nation's largest nonprofit organization dedicated to planting trees. The Tree City USA program is sponsored in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service. Roanoke County retained its Tree City USA designation by meeting the program's following four requirements: • a tree board or department; • a tree-care ordinance; • an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita; and • an annual Arbor Day observance and proclamation. The funding for this year's Roanoke County's Arbor Day planting is provided through the Virginia Trees for Clean Water matching grant program, in partnership with the Virginia Department of Forestry and the Roanoke Valley-Alleghany Regional Commission. The Virginia Department of Forestry has developed the Virginia Trees for Clean Water program to improve water quality across the Commonwealth of Virginia through efforts to plant trees. The grants awarded through this program encourage local government and citizen involvement in creating and supporting long-term and sustained tree canopy cover. Arbor Day celebrations enable local governments to raise public awareness Page 1 of 2 about the benefits of planting trees for the health of our streams and rivers. DISCUSSION: Roanoke County will observe National Arbor Day on Thursday, April 23, 2026, with a celebration at Mount Pleasant Library. The celebration will consist of a ceremonial tree planting, a presentation by State foresters on the importance of trees, and a program by students from Mount Pleasant Elementary School. Roanoke County encourages residents, businesses, and organizations to plant a tree in the community in honor of National Arbor Day. Cleaner air, improved storm water management, energy savings and increased property values are among the benefits enjoyed by Tree City USA communities. FISCAL IMPACT: The Virginia Trees for Clean Water program is a 50/50 matching grant with funds awarded on a reimbursement basis. Overhead costs for administering the grant will be incurred by the Roanoke Valley-Alleghany Regional Commission. Roanoke County's contribution will be $2,500 for labor costs associated with planting the trees at Mount Pleasant Library. These funds are available in the Planning Department's budget. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors proclaim, Thursday, April 23, 2026, as National Arbor Day in Roanoke County.
