Chief Burch advised that the County has purchasing thermal imager cameras
for the department for better evaluation of the structural integrity as firefighters work inside,
and for quicker location of victims. He reported that Roanoke County Fire and Rescue
personnel responded to a house fire on the evening of May 8, 2001. They arrived on the
scene to find flames coming out of the rear of the house. Lt. Jeff Lawson, Medic/Firefighter
Lynn Hudson and Volunteer Firefighter/EMT Todd Hanson entered the structure. Lt.
Lawson was operating the Bullard Thermal Imager. Battalion Chief Charlie King, incident
commander, was viewing the transmitted image from Lt. Lawson's camera. Chief King
observed that the floor was slanting and the rafters appeared as though they were about
to fall through the ceiling space. He called for an emergency evacuation. Within one

IN RE: BRIEFINGS
1. Briefina on annual reassessment process. (William Driver.
Director of Real Estate Valuation>
Mr. Driver announced that the purpose of the briefing was to provide for the
public and Board of Supervisors information on: (1) Increase in Tax Base and Market
Factors; (2) The assessment Process / Review and Equalization Schedule; and (3) Senior
and Disabled Citizen Tax Relief - Increase in income level eligibility.
Mr. Driver reported that the total increase in assessed values was 6.13%.
Values of existing real estate increased 4.08% and new construction accounted for 2.05%.
Two market factors that attributed to the increase were the low interest rates and the
increase in the number of sales. Sales between 2000 and 2001 increased 13%.
He advised that reassessment notices were mailed the first week of January,
and our informal hearings will take place from January 16th to the 25th. Citizens may
schedule an appointment with appraisers or may discuss concerns by phone. Appraisers
will conduct office or field reviews of properties during the month of February, and
notification to citizens should be completed by the end of February. Following notification
citizens may continue their appeal to the Board of Equalization.
Mr. Driver also emphasized that last year the Board of Supervisors increased
the income levels for the Senior and Disabled Citizens Exemption from $30,000 to $50,000
in an effort to assist senior citizens and permanently disabled persons on fixed incomes.
To apply for this program citizens need to contact the Commissioner of Revenue's Office
28
January 22, 2002
on or before March 31, 2002 to apply for this program.
In response to questions from the Board members, Mr. Driver advised that
assessments are at about 94% of actual market values of the property, and that the Board
of Supervisors has never given the staff any direction on how to handle the assessments.

NEW BUSINESS
Presentation from the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Unit and the Marine
Corps Leaaue and appropriation of $7.500 proceeds from the 6h Annual
Marine Mud Run. (Pete Haislip, Parks. Recreation and Tourism
Director)
A-012202-1
Mr. Haislip advised that for the past five years the Marine Corps Reserve
Unit, Company B, 4th Combat Engineer Battalion and the Marine Corps League, in
cooperation with the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Tourism and other corporate
sponsors has sponsored the Mud Run in Green Hill Park. The event is designed to raise
funds for the Toys For Tots program and Camp Roanoke. This event continues to be one
of the largest and most successful running events in the Valley and has received media
support from around the state. This year there were 1,371 participants, and over 4,000
spectators. It is a family event, and includes runners from ages three years old to the 70's.
Mr. Haislip expressed pride of the partnership with the Marines and looked forward to
working with them in the future. This year's $7,500 contribution brings the total amount
contributed to $19,000 and the funds will be added to the Camp Roanoke Fund and will be
used to finish the canoe launch at the reservoir and purchase new canoes.

2. Authorization to enter into an aareement with Roanoke Gas to
extend ª natural aas line into the Center for Research and
Technoloav. (Jill Loope. Assistant Director. Economic
Development)
A-012202-2
Ms. Loope reported that the 457-acre Center for Research and Technology
(CRT) has been undergoing infrastructure improvements since 1998. To date, preliminary
roads have been established, water and sewer lines extended, and a site has been
preliminarily graded for development purposes. The extension of the gas line to the park
is the next phase of improvement critical to the future development success of CRT, and
is necessary for the Novozymes project.
Ms. Loope advised that the proposal is that Roanoke County enter into an
agreement with Roanoke Gas Company to construct a natural gas line into CRT. The
proposed extension consists of 15,624 feet of line with a 6-inch minimum line from Rt. 460
30
January 22, 2002
to the entrance to the CRT, and a 4-inch minimum line within the park. The cost of the line
extension is to be paid by Roanoke County initially, with the monies being reimbursed by
Roanoke Gas as the County attracts new tenants to the park. The County will have six
years to recruit enough users on the system to fulfill the terms of the agreement, which
should pay for the cost ofthe construction. It is estimated that the entire cost of the line will
be covered by the gas use projected by Novozymes, upon implementation of the first two
phases of their development. Ms. Loope advised that $152,000 funds available in the
CRT account will be reimbursed by Roanoke Gas, as the County secures new users on the
line.
Supervisor Nickens pointed out that Roanoke Gas is a sole source supplier
and therefore not subject to a competitive bid process.
Supervisor McNamara moved to authorize the agreement. The motion
carried by the following recorded vote:

CITIZENS' COMMENTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
1. Bill Waddell. 5719 Oakland Boulevard asked why three homes with
varying assessments were all increased exactly $4,000, which resulted in the most
expensive home having the least percentage increase. Mr. Hodge responded that he
would investigate and report back.
2. Ann Motlev. 5725 Oakland Blvd. noted that the real estate tax rate since
1990 has gone down from $1.15 to $1.12 as of last year and advised it was still difficult for
seniors to pay the increased tax assessments
3. David Courev. 3419 Ashmeade Dr.. expressed concern about: (1)
increased assessments and proposed that a renter's tax be introduced since the bulk ofthe
taxes are on homeowners; (2) that a private firm be contracted to handle assessments
which could save money; and (3) that the real estate tax rate be lowered.

IN RE: WORK SESSION (4TH FLOOR CONFERENCE ROOM)
1. Budaet work sessions (Brent Robertson. Budaet Director)
a. Mid-vear revenues and sales tax
b. Update on General Assemblv
The work session was presented by Mr. Hodge and Mr. Robertson and held
from 4:50 p.m. to 5:50 p.m.
Mr. Hodge reported it will be several weeks before the County will know what
state funding will be available. Mr. Robertson reported that staff is working on the personal
property revenue and hope to have figures in several weeks. Currently the County is about
$400,000 short in current revenues, but may end up by as much as $800,000 short in the
current year's budget.
In response to questions from the Board on how staff is handling the shortfall,
Mr. Hodge advised that the staff is holding positions vacant, looking at travel and other
expenses to make up some of the $800,000 shortfall.
It was the consensus of the Board to balance the budget without using the
General Fund Unappropriated Balance to make up the deficit. Supervisor Nickens asked
for a budget work session on February 26, 2002, to discuss where the County stands at
that time with local and state revenues. Supervisor Flora asked for information at the same
work session on the seven months actual revenues and expenditures compared to the
same time last year.

at Tanglewood Mall and will include a two hour segment with the School Board, a two hour
segment with members of the business community, and discussion of other County issues
with the Board and County staff.
3. Discussion on proposed Aauatic Center
Supervisor McNamara advised that the Board received a letter from Phillip
Anderson, 29 Franklin Road SW. describing what he felt was a need for a 50-meter pool
large enough to host statewide swim meets. He suggested that the local governments
jointly fund a 50-meter pool large enough for this purpose. Supervisor McNamara noted
while he didn't necessarily support this request, he supported using last year's surplus to
encourage tourism, and suggested that the County needs to. look at the development of
some sports facilities to increase sports events in the Roanoke Valley. Director of Parks,
Recreation & Tourism Pete Haislip noted that a 50 meter pool would be outdoors and only
for high school swim teams.
IN RE: CLOSED MEETING
Chairman Church announced that Supervisor Minnix left the meeting at 4:40
p.m. because he had to go out of town and that the Closed Meeting lasted from 4:10 to

meetings with various agencies such as civic leagues that would be impacted by major
projects. He advised that VDOT has not met with the Mt. Pleasant Civic League to discuss
the impact of 1-73 even though VDOT has been invited, and felt that the resolutions
adopted by the Board of Supervisors supporting 1-73 were not in compliance with federal
law and regulations. Chairman Church asked Mr. Mahoney to investigate and report back.
