negotiation process, staff selected S. Lewis Lionberger Construction Company
(Lionberger) as the party with whom to pursue the design and redevelopment of the
Hollins Library.
On August 19, 2025, the Board approved an interim agreement with Lionberger for pre-
construction services, which included, among other services, site plan design, site
permitting review and approvals, and building design redevelopment for the Hollins

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: May 26, 2026
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance authorizing the relocation of the Hollins District
Precinct 206 polling place pursuant to Virginia Code
Sections 24.2-306, 24.2-307, 24.2-310, and 24.2-129
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 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
ordinance. Virginia Code § 24.2-129 imposes additional requirements upon the
governing body prior to relocating a polling place.
DISCUSSION:
The current polling place for Hollins Precinct 206 is the Hollins Library. There is planned
construction scheduled to begin at the Hollins Library in 2026, which is expected to
conclude in 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
Page 1 of 3
Supervisors to effectuate this temporary change in polling place.
The Board of Supervisors previously approved an ordinance relocating the Hollins
District Precinct 206 polling place to North Roanoke Baptist Church on February 24,
2026 (Ordinance 022426-4.c). However, the Virginia Department of Elections rendered
this ordinance inadequate due to the need for a formal public comment period pursuant
to Virginia Code § 24.2-129. Additionally, the North Roanoke Baptist Church had a
scheduling conflict and was unable to serve as the Hollins District Precinct 206 polling
place for the April 21, 2026 election.
To comply with all applicable Virginia Code sections, Roanoke County has published on
its official website the proposed polling place change and general notice of opportunity
for public comment on the proposed polling place change. Roanoke County will hold
this open public comment period from April 10, 2026 to May 26, 2026. Additionally, at
the Board of Supervisor's second reading of this matter on May 26, 2026, the Board of
Supervisors will hold a public hearing to receive public comment on the proposed
polling place change. If the Board of Supervisors approves the ordinance effectuating
the polling place change, Roanoke County will publish notice that the polling place
change will take effect in 30 days pursuant to Virginia Code Section 24.2-129(C).
There have been no changes to the proposed ordinance since the first reading on May
12, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT:
To comply with Virginia Code § 24.2-306, this matter was noticed by publication in the
Cardinal News, 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.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve this ordinance.
VOTE:
Supervisor North moved to approve the ordinance. Supervisor Mahoney seconded the
motion. Motion approved.

TOTALING $1,503,009 FUNDED FROM

VIRGINIA AND AMENDING THE GENERAL FUND FISCAL
YEAR 2026 OPERATING REVENUES AND
EXPENDITURES
SUBMITTED BY: Laurie Gearheart
Chief Financial Officer
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Authorize a one-time bonus for all eligible employees with funding in the amount
$276,000 from the Commonwealth of Virginia and $1,227,009 from the General Fund
and amending the General Fund Fiscal Year 2026 budget.
BACKGROUND:
The 2026 General Assembly Session approved a one-time bonus for constitutional
officers and their employees and employees of local departments of social services.
The Board of Supervisors has agreed to accept the funding from the Commonwealth of
Virginia and pass this one time bonus to Compensation Board and Social Service
employees.
DISCUSSION:
The 2.0 percent bonus for constitutional officers and their employees is calculated
based on the Compensation Board-funded salary as of June 1, 2026. Additionally, it is
proposed that all other full-time County employees receive the same 2.0 percent of
salary bonus, and that part-time County employees meeting the requirement below
Page 1 of 3
receive a $250 bonus.
County employees qualifying for the bonus are further defined as full-time and part-time
employees who are in active pay status at the time the bonus is paid. Part-time
employees that will be eligible for the bonus are those who have worked at least an
average of 15 hours per week between the dates of January 1st and April 24th. In
addition they must be approved by the Department of Human Resources. Part-time
employees who have not worked an average of 15 hours or more in the aforementioned
time frame and members of boards and commissions are not eligible for the bonus.
Section 15.2-1508 of the Code of Virginia, as amended, authorizes the governing body
of any city, county, or town to pay a monetary bonus. The payment of the bonus must
be authorized by ordinance. The County is given flexibility by the Commonwealth of
Virginia to make the payment between June 1, 2026 and September 30, 2026. Staff
recommends making the payment on June 18, 2026.
Funding for the bonus will come from both the Commonwealth of Virginia and County of
Roanoke revenues. Staff recommends that the fiscal year 2026 budget be amended in
the amount of $1,503,009 to operating revenue and expenditures of the general fund to
provide a bonus to County employees.
There have been no changes since the first reading held on May 12, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated cost to provide a bonus to all employees is approximately $1,503,009.
The fiscal year 2025-2026 general fund budget will be amended to recognize an
additional $276,000 of revenue from the Commonwealth of Virginia along with an
additional $1,227,009 in Public Service Corporation taxes. This will allow for the
increase in the personnel budget to provide the bonus. The bonus will be paid on June
18, 2026, and will be an expense of FY2026. Any necessary transfers and/or budget
adjustments required by Roanoke County accounting procedures necessary to
accomplish this action will be authorized by this ordinance.
Funding provided by the Virginia Compensation Board does not represent base salary
funding, and consequently is in addition to and does not supplant local salary
supplements or any recent local salary increases. Like all funding for salaries and
expenses in constitutional offices, Roanoke County will be responsible for paying these
expenses, and the Compensation Board will reimburse the majority of the actual
expenses.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the attached ordinance.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: May 26, 2026
AGENDA ITEM: ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 21 (TAXATION),
ARTICLE I (IN GENERAL), ARTICLE II (TAXES ON
TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY), AND ARTICLE III
(REAL ESTATE TAXES) OF THE ROANOKE COUNTY
CODE
SUBMITTED BY: Kevin Hutchins
Treasurer
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
The Roanoke County Treasurer has proposed certain changes to Article I, Article II, and
Article III of Chapter 21 (Taxation) of the Roanoke County Code.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The Roanoke County Code currently does not provide for the provision of administrative
fees to cover the cost of collecting delinquent personal property taxes authorized by
Virginia Code § 58.1-3958. It is proposed that a new Section 21-10 be added to Chapter
21, Article I of the Roanoke County Code to provide for the provision of a $30 delinquent
administrative fee to cover the cost of collecting delinquent personal property taxes
which are ninety (90) or more days delinquent.
The Roanoke County code currently provides for a ten (10) percent penalty for late
payments of personal property taxes and real estate taxes. It is proposed that Section
21-18 and Section 21-37 be amended to allow for a tiered penalty approach for late
payment of personal property taxes and real estate taxes. The proposal is to set a 3%
penalty for payment of taxes within sixty (60) days of the due date, and to set a 10%
penalty for payment of taxes thereafter. The amendments are authorized by Virginia
Page 1 of 2
Code § 58.1-3916.
There have been no changes to the proposed ordinance since the first reading on May
12, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Implementing the proposed Roanoke County Code changes involves no cost to
Roanoke County. Staff projects that the new delinquent administrative fee will generate
$390,000 in annual revenue, while the tiered late payment penalty is expected to reduce
annual revenue by $330,000.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the attached ordinance.
VOTE:
Supervisor North moved to approve the ordinance. Supervisor Mahoney seconded the
motion. Motion approved.

Fiscal Agent Agreement
Between
The County of Roanoke,
And
The Regional Center for Animal Care and Protection
This agreement is made the 26th day of May, 2026, by and between the Board of
Supervisors of Roanoke County ("County"), a political subdivision and county of the
Commonwealth of Virginia, and The Regional Center for Animal Care and
Protection, an intergovernmental agreement between the County of Roanoke, City of
Roanoke, Town of Vinton, and Botetourt County.
RECITALS
1. The Regional Center for Animal Care and Protection (Regional Animal Shelter)
was created by an intergovernmental agreement dated December 11, 2012 between
the charter members of the City of Roanoke, County of Roanoke, Town of Vinton, and
Botetourt County pursuant to code section 3.2-6546 of the Code of Virginia which
requires the governing body of each county or city to maintain or cause to be maintained
a public animal shelter and allows one or more local governing bodies to operate a
single "animal shelter" in conjunction with one another. Upon expiration of the original
agreement in June 2023, a new intergovernmental agreement was executed which
removed Town of Vinton as a participating locality.
2. Section 3.1 of the intergovernmental agreement designates the County of
Roanoke to be the fiscal agent until otherwise agreed to by a unanimous vote of the
Board of Directors, and the fiscal agent is required to maintain a program account for
the receipt of funds paid by the Participating Localities and fees paid by the general
public, and for payment expenses for the operation, maintenance, repairs, and capital
improvements to the Regional Animal Shelter.
AGREEMENT
The County is hereby authorized to serve as Fiscal Agent for the Regional Animal
Shelter as set forth herein. As such, the Regional Animal Shelter and the County agree
to the provisions outlined below:
1. Maintenance of Books. The County will establish a separate fund(s) on the
County financial system to maintain the financial records of the Regional Animal Shelter.
2. Pooled Cash. As part of the overall pooled cash concept that is used by the
County, the cash of the Regional Animal Shelter will be accounted for separately but
may be pooled with the cash of the County and other agencies that the County serves
as fiscal agent. As such, the Treasurer of the County is authorized to make investments
for the pooled cash in accordance with applicable law, including, without limitation, the
i
Investment of Public Funds Act, 2.2-4500 et seq., Code of Virginia (1950), as amended,
and the Virginia Security for Public Deposits Act, 2.2-4400 et seq., Code of Virginia
(1950), as amended.
3. Negative Cash. As a participant in the pooled cash concept of the County, the
Regional Animal Shelter may have a negative cash balance from time to time. The
Regional Animal Shelter agrees to minimize the negative cash to the extent possible.
The cash balance must be positive at the end of the fiscal year.
4. Interest Income. At the end of each month, the County allocates interest
income earned during that month to all of the funds based upon the percentage
participation on the pooled cash. If the net interest income is negative at the end of a
month, then negative interest will be allocated to the fund.
5. Loss on Investments. In the unlikely event that the County pooled cash has a
loss on an investment through default, market decline, or other reason except for
negligence, theft, or legal violations by the County and/or its agents, the Regional
Animal Shelter will share in the loss using the methodology described in paragraph 4.

ITEM NO. J.9
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: May 26, 2026
AGENDA ITEM: Request to reallocate Insurance Funds in the amount of
$65,847 and Transfer of Ambulance Title to Cave Spring
Rescue Squad
SUBMITTED BY: C. Travis Griffith
Chief of Fire and Rescue
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
On January 29, 2026, a Cave Spring Volunteer Rescue Squad (CSVRS) ambulance
was involved in a motor vehicle accident that was determined to be "no fault." Following
assessment of the vehicle, VACORP issued a settlement payment in the amount of
$65,847 payable to Roanoke County. The CSVRS has requested to retain the
ambulance and plans to pursue repairs from the original vendor in an effort to return the
vehicle to operational service. To facilitate this process, the insurance proceeds
received by Roanoke County must be reallocated to the Cave Spring Rescue Squad. In
addition, transfer of the vehicle title to the Cave Spring Rescue Squad is necessary to
allow the organization to manage and complete the repairs.
BACKGROUND:
The ambulance was originally purchased in 2019 by the Cave Spring Rescue Squad
Volunteer Agency using volunteer funds; however, the vehicle was titled under the
Roanoke County Board of Supervisors for vehicle registration purposes, and insured
through VACORP.
DISCUSSION:
Because the ambulance is currently titled under the Roanoke County Board of
Supervisors, VACORP is required to issue insurance proceeds directly to the County for
$65,847. However, the Cave Spring Rescue Squad is responsible for the operation,
Page 1 of 2
maintenance, and disposition of the vehicle. Reallocating the insurance funds to the
Rescue Squad and transferring the vehicle title will align ownership with operational
responsibility, allowing the organization to efficiently manage repair decisions.
IMPACT
This action will have no fiscal impact on the County of Roanoke.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the insurance proceeds be reallocated to the Cave Spring
Rescue Squad to facilitate the repair or disposition process. Additionally, transfer of the
vehicle title to the Cave Spring Rescue Squad is requested to allow the organization to
manage repairs, obtain estimates, and determine the most appropriate course of action
regarding the ambulance.
VOTE:
Supervisor North moved to reallocate the funds and transfer the vehicle title to the Cave
Spring Rescue Squad. Supervisor Mahoney seconded the motion. Motion approved.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: May 26, 2026
AGENDA ITEM: The petition of Michelle and Brian Ellison to rezone
approximately 5.06 acres from R-1, Low Density Residential
District to AR, Agricultural/Residential District, located at.
3169 and 3225 Bandy Road, Vinton Magisterial District.
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
approximately 5.06 acres from R-1 to AR.
BACKGROUND:
Michelle and Brian Ellison are petitioning to rezone two (2) parcels totaling
approximately 5.06 acres from R-1 to AR to use the property for agricultural use (future
plans for the property include obtaining chickens, horses, and a small number of sheep
and goats. The applicants also plan to use a portion of the property for crops and floral
growth in addition to the small orchards.
The Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance defines agriculture as "the use of land for the
production of food and fiber, including farming, dairying, pasturage, agriculture,
horticulture, viticulture, and animal and poultry husbandry. A garden and residential
chicken keeping, accessory to a residence, shall not be considered agriculture."
The Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance defines private stable as "the keeping,
breeding, or raising of horses or ponies exclusively for the personal use and enjoyment
of the owner or occupant of the property or the riding of horses or ponies by the owner
or occupant of the property and their guests."
Page 1 of 3
Agriculture and private stable are permitted by-right in the AR, Agricultural/Residential
District.
The Roanoke County 200 Plan indicates the future land use designation of the subject
properties as "Development." Since conventional residential and cluster residential are
allowed in AR, the proposed rezoning would be consistent with the "Development"
future land use designation; however, the proposed use indicated by the applicant
would not be consistent with the "Development" future land use designation.
DISCUSSION:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this petition on May 5, 2026. No
citizens spoke during the public hearing. The Planning Commission discussed the
small hobby farm and the limited agricultural uses proposed for the property, the rural
setting of the property and area, surrounding agricultural .uses, terrain challenges with
the property, previous agricultural rezonings in this area, surrounding zoning and the
future land use designation.
The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the rezoning from R-1, Low
Density Residential District, to AR, Agricultural/Residential District.
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 to rezone approximately 5.06 acres from R-1, Low Density Residential
District, to AR, Agricultural/Residential District.
VOTE:
Supervisor Radford found that the proposed rezoning request:
1. Is consistent with the purpose and intent of the County's adopted comprehensive
plan, although the proposed use indicated by the applicant would not be
consistent with the "Development" future land use designation indicated on the
County's adopted comprehensive plan, and
2. Is good zoning practice, and
3. Will not result in substantial detriment to the community.
Therefore, moved that the Board approve the rezoning request as it has been
requested.
