NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia,that the following five priorities are submitted for the General Assembly's consideration during its 2027 session: 1. Airport Expansion and Funding a. The County urges support for funding needed to assist and support runway, airfield safety improvements, and terminal capacity improvements at the Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport to foster economic development. Specifically, the County urges support for: i. $40 million needed for airport terminal improvements, and ii. $7 million to conduct a study regarding runway extension and airfield safety improvements. b. The County further supports increasing funding to the Commonwealth Aviation Fund to ensure that all Virginia commercial service airports can make improvements. Page 1 of 3 2. Oppose Collective Bargaining a. The County urges the General Assembly to oppose any effort to mandate collective bargaining for local public employees. 3. Children's Services Act a. The County supports enhancing the ability of local school divisions to serve children with disabilities, including granting local school divisions greater flexibility in use of state pool funds to serve children with high-level needs in local or regional programs tailored to meet such needs. b. The County supports continued investment of state resources to assist in the local administration of CSA programs. Specifically, the County supports maintaining the state/ local partnership at the heart of the Children's Services Act and opposes any limitations on state participation in funding services for children and youth who are mandated to be provided with services. The County urges: i. rescission of existing funding caps, and ii. opposition to any future caps on state reimbursement. Such caps limit the state's exposure to continually increasing costs and increase the localities' financial burden and proportionate share of administering such services. 4. Transportation a. The County urges the General Assembly to increase Smart Scale funding for local transportation improvements and greenway projects. Page 2 of 3 5. School Safety and Security a. The County urges the General Assembly to increase appropriations to the School Resource Officer Incentive Grants Fund. Appropriations to this fund were decreased in 2026, resulting in a significant, unexpected loss in funding to localities; such funding is necessary to provide School Resource Officer support to local schools.

(Susan Peterson, Chief Financial Officer, RCPS) (First Reading and Request for Second Reading) Submitted By: Laurie Gearheart, Chief Financial Officer Approved By: Richard L. Caywood, County Administrator Issue: Ordinance to amend the fiscal year 2026-2027 Roanoke County Public Schools (RCPS) overall Budget Categories. Background: The state biennium budget was signed by the Governor on June 29, 2026. Included in the budget was the subsequent release of the Virginia Department of Education's final funding estimates. Discussion: During a work session held on August 6, 2026, with the Roanoke County School Board, school staff presented the final revision to their FY2026-2027 Annual Budget. The revision incorporates final state funding estimates, updated local and federal revenue projections, and related expenditure adjustments to reflect the division's final anticipated revenues for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. The attached RCPS 2026-2027 Revised Annual Budget was approved at the Roanoke County Public School Board meeting held on August 20, 2026. Fiscal Impact: Approval of this ordinance will reduce the overall budget categories by $1,140,662 and appropriate additional funds to the individual categories as outlined in the attached email from Susan Peterson, Chief Financial Officer for the Roanoke County Public Schools. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approving the first reading of this ordinance and scheduling the second reading for September 22, 2026.

El AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER Meeting Date: September 8, 2026 Agenda Item: Ordinance amending Chapter 8.1 (Erosion and Stormwater Management Program, Section 26 — Fees) of the Roanoke County Code to reflect the newly amended Fee Structure of the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). (Tarek Moneir, Director of Development Services) (Second Reading) Submitted By: Tarek Moneir, Director of Development Services Approved By: Richard L. Caywood, County Administrator Issue: Second Reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 8.1 (Erosion and Stormwater Management Program, Section 26 — Fees) of the Roanoke County Code to reflect the newly amended Fee Structure of the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Background: The Virginia General Assembly, through the 2024 Acts of Assembly (Item 363 J), directed the State Water Control Board to revise the Virginia Erosion and Stormwater Management (VESM) Regulation to ensure that permit fees recover 60% to 62% of the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality's direct costs associated with administering, enforcing, and ensuring compliance with Virginia's erosion and stormwater management programs. The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) amended its fees schedule (see attached) effective July 1, 2026. Therefore, Roanoke County Code Chapter 8.1 — Erosion and Stormwater Management Program, Section 26 — Fees must be amended to reflect the new fee structure (as shown in Table 2, Table 3 and Table 4 of the attached Draft Ordinance). Discussion: Currently, permit fees recover only 38.7% of DEQ's program costs. For Roanoke County, the fees recover less than 20% of the erosion and stormwater management costs. To comply with the legislative mandate, the State Water Control Board adopted amendments that increase permit fees by approximately 50% to 61%, raising annual fee revenue from approximately $3.17 million to between $4.92 million and $5.08 million. The regulatory amendments include three primary changes: • Increase statewide permit fees for construction stormwater permits, Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permits, permit modifications, and annual permit maintenance fees. • Increase the DEQ portion of permit fees collected by local VESMP authorities from 28% to the statutory maximum of 30%. • Establish an annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment to allow permit fees to keep pace with inflation and avoid the need for infrequent, significant fee increases in the future. The purpose of these changes is to provide sustainable funding for Virginia's erosion and stormwater management programs, improve regulatory consistency and compliance, enhance technical assistance to local governments, and ultimately improve water quality statewide. While the amendments increase permit costs for developers and other regulated entities, these fee increases are intended to ensure that the costs of administering the program are more appropriately borne by permit holders rather than taxpayers. Local governments are not expected to experience negative fiscal impacts, and the enhanced funding will support more effective permit administration, compliance oversight, and customer service throughout the Commonwealth. As the Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP)Authority, Roanoke County performs all technical reviews, inspections, permit issuance, and compliance activities associated with Erosion and Stormwater Management permits. Under the revised fee structure, DEQ will directly collect 30% of the total new permit fee from applicants; Roanoke County will no longer collect fees for DEQ. It is important to note that DEQ did not increase permit fees for residential/single family land-disturbance activities, which constitute the majority of permits issued by Roanoke County. Upon adoption of the ordinance amendment, Roanoke County's fees schedule will be consistent with DEQ's revised schedule, providing a straightforward, uniform, and transparent permitting process for applicants while ensuring Roanoke County has adequate resources to efficiently administer the Erosion and Stormwater Management Program. There have been no changes since the first reading held on August 18, 2026. Fiscal Impact: The additional revenue generated by the revised fee schedule will offset a portion of the General Fund revenues that currently constitute the majority of funding required to meet our statutory obligations in this program area. During the upcoming budget cycle we will evaluate required local support in light of changes to the fee schedule. Attached are three comparison tables illustrating the existing fee schedule and the newly adopted fees schedule. These tables show that DEQ increased most permit fees by approximately 50 to 60% from the current fees. From this time forward, applicants for new developments will receive a separate invoice directly from the Virginia Department of.Environmental Quality for DEQ's 30% share of the newly adopted permit fees. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Board approve this ordinance. Vote: Supervisor Radford moved to postpone the second reading of the fee schedules for 8.1. Supervisor Hooker seconded the motion. Motion approved. The Board of Supervisors has deferred action on the second reading and requested a work session be scheduled to discuss this item.

Caywood, County Administrator Issue: Second reading of Ordinance to amend the fiscal year 2026-2027 general operating budget by $140,324 to increase the minimum annual salary for Family Services Specialists to $55,000. Background: The state biennium budget was signed by the Governor on June 29, 2026. Included in the budget was a provision and funding to increase the minimum annual salary for Family Services Specialists to $55,000. As a result, adjustments are necessary to align the County's budget with finalized state revenues, expenditures, and program funding. Discussion: The proposed budget amendment incorporates changes resulting from the adopted state budget that affect County operations. These adjustments include revisions to state revenues and corresponding expenditures for Social Services programs administered by the County, specifically, the minimum salaries for Family Services Specialists where funding levels differed from the estimates used during budget development. The amendment ensures the County's budget accurately reflects the final state appropriations and provides the necessary spending authority for these programs. There have been no changes since the first reading held August 18, 2026. Fiscal Impact: Approval of this ordinance will adjust general operating revenues and expenditures by $140,324 to increase minimum annual salaries of Family Services Specialists to $55,000 including associated benefits. The amendment reflects changes in state funding and associated expenditures and does not require the use of additional County general fund revenues. This adjustment will be retroactive to July 1, 2026. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of this ordinance. Vote: Supervisor Hooker moved to approve the ordinance.

Background: The Department of State Police HEAT program has awarded funding to the Roanoke County Police Department in the amount of $10,000.00. Beginning in 2022, the Department approved the first-ever allocation of funding to reimburse Virginia law enforcement agencies for the cost of purchasing equipment, software, and/or training to be used for the investigation and/or prevention of motor vehicle theft and the theft of motor vehicle parts. Announced that beginning July 1, 2026, the Help Eliminate Auto Theft (HEAT) program is allocating financial support of up to $10,000 per agency to reimburse agencies for the purchase of equipment, software, and/or training that will be used for investigating or preventing motor vehicle theft. Discussion: The Roanoke County Police Department will use the funds to purchase two years of NightHawk software subscription for two users. NightHawk is an investigative software platform that allows investigators to analyze and visualize large amounts of digital evidence, including cellular location and other location-based data. This capability can be directly used during stolen vehicle and vehicle-parts investigations to identify and track the movements of offenders, establish locations associated with stolen vehicles, identify patterns between multiple thefts, and develop investigative leads from digital evidence. The total estimated cost is approximately $14,000, and Roanoke County will be responsible for any cost above the $10,000 reimbursement amount. Fiscal Impact: The funds awarded from the Department of State Police total $10,000.00. No matching funds are required. The remaining cost of the project will be funded from the Police department FY2027 budget. • Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends acceptance and allocation of the grant funds to the Roanoke County Police Department in the amount of $10,000 from the Department of State Police Help Eliminate Auto Theft (HEAT) Program.

G.8 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER Meeting Date: September 8, 2026 Agenda Item: Ordinance authorizing the execution of a lease agreement and future lease agreements for two parking spaces at the General Services facility at 1204 Kessler Mill Road, Catawba Magisterial District (First Reading and Request for Second Reading). Submitted By: Rachel W. Lower, Deputy County Attorney Approved By: Richard L. Caywood, County Administrator Issue: There is a need for a new lease agreement with Virginia Regional Transit for the lease of two(2) parking spaces at Kessler Mill for the shuttle parking. If Roanoke County continues to provide shuttle services to and from the McAfee Knob Trailhead beyond November 26, 2027, there will be a need for future leases of the two (2) parking spaces at Kessler Mill for the shuttle parking. Background: Ride Source is Roanoke County's current vendor for the McAfee Knob Trailhead Shuttle. Roanoke County has a current contract with Ride Source for this service. The original contract was entered into on August 12, 2022, and it was most recently renewed effective August 2, 2026. The contract terminates on November 26, 2027. Ride Source has notified Roanoke County that Virginia Regional Transit will be acquiring Ride Source. The current contract with Ride Source allows for assignment by the vendor(Ride Source), and Roanoke County has agreed to the assignment to Virginia Regional Transit. Upon acquisition of Ride Source by Virginia Regional Transit, the contract will continue as assigned with Virginia Regional Transit being the new vendor. Roanoke County also has a lease agreement with Ride Source for the lease of two (2) parking spaces at Kessler Mill for the shuttle parking. This lease agreement was not renewed and thus expired on August 1, 2026. Discussion: The Roanoke County Attorney's Office has drafted a new lease agreement to be entered into with Virginia Regional Transit for the lease of two (2) parking spaces at Kessler Mill for the shuttle parking. Fiscal Impact: Roanoke County will receive $50 per month in rental payments pursuant to the terms of the lease with Virginia Regional Transit. If further leases are entered into after November 26, 2027 then Roanoke County would also receive rental payments under those future leases. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the execution of the lease agreement with Virginia Regional Transit. Staff further recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt the attached ordinance delegating authority to the County Administrator, or his designee, to negotiate and execute future lease agreements for up to a 10-year period with vendors requiring parking spaces at 1204 Kessler Mill Road for the McAfee Knob Trailhead shuttle service. The attached ordinance clarifies that the County Administrator holds discretion over all lease terms and rental rates, provided future rental payments meet or exceed fifty dollars ($50.00) per month. Staff recommends approval of the first reading of the proposed ordinance and scheduling the second reading for September 22, 2026. Vote: Supervisor Hooker moved to approve the first reading of this ordinance and scheduling the second reading for September 22, 2026. Supervisor Radford seconded the motion. Motion approved.
