IN RE:
NEW BUSINESS
1." Reauest for $12.000 for lead pain~ abatement at Catawba
Community Center. (Debbie Pitts.. Assistant Director of
Recreation)
A-021202-1
Ms. Pitts advised that in January 1986, the Catawba Valley Ruritan Club
requested that Roanoke County allow the community to restore the former Catawba School
to serve as a community center. In return the Ruritan Club agreed to be the sponsoring
organization to manage the facility with Roanoke County retaining ownership of the
property. The Club also agreed to maintain basic janitorial services and to supervise the
scheduled use of the facility for community organizations. The County would be responsible
for utility costs and any maintenance and repairs of the building. The community has been
successful in restoring the facility and it has since become the central meeting place for all
Catawba community organizations, scouts, churches, and family gatherings.
February 12, 2002
47
In April 2000, staff began meeting with the Ruritan Club to review the
agreement, discuss recreation interests, evaluate the facility, and review standard operating
procedures. In April 2001 the Ruritan Club asked the County Parks, Recreation, and
Tourism Department to take a more active role in the management, scheduling, and
supervision of groups using the center, and the department has now assumed the
scheduling of the facility, setting fees for the use of the building and picnic shelter, and has
an individual in the community who opens, closes, and supervises the use of the building.
The Ruritan Club provides custodial services and minor repairs. The fees charged are used
to cover supervision and maintenance of the center. Community organizations involved in
the original restoration project are not charged a fee for regular meetings.
Ms. Pitts reported that during a routine maintenance and fire safety inspection
August 2001, staff found large pieces of paint flaking from the ceiling onto the floor. The
staff had the paint tested and results showed high levels of lead. After conferring with an
environmental consultant and the County Attorney, staff officially closed the building to the
public on September 18, 2001 pending abatement of the lead-based paint. An
environmental consultant and the Health Department have assisted staff in testing and
evaluating the facility. The final analysis indicates that the interior and exterior wood trim
paint has some lead content. This includes windows, trim, doors, frames and the detached
garage. However, only three areas exceed the HUD limits for lead. These areas are the
detached garage, the interior and exterior window frames and casings, and dust samples
in the main auditorium upstairs. With these findings, the first floor of the facility has been
reopened to the Ruritan Club only for their regular meetings, but remains closed to the
public until repairs to the upstairs, garage, and windows can be finished.
48
February 12, 2002
The project team has evaluated several options and recommends that the
windows be removed and replaced, the interior painted surfaces scraped to a paintable
surface and repainted, and the garage to be either scraped and repainted or vinyl sided.
The cost to replace the windows and scrape and remove lead paint will be approximately
$27,000. The department has $15,000 of the funding and is requesting an additional
$12,000 from the Board Contingency Fund to cover the balance.
Supervisor Minnix expressed concern about the potential for litigation and
asked if the groups pay a fee to use the facility. Ms. Pitts responded that the fee has been
waived for the organizations that originally started the center. Supervisor McNamara asked
if it might cost less to put out an RFP to sand and repaint. Ms. Pitts responded that would
probably cost twice as much. In response to a question from Supervisor McNamara, Mr.
Haislip advised that the $15,000 would be allocated from the Reimbursable Account
generated by fees, and that is what that account is used for.
Supervisor Nickens commended the staff for reducing the cost and
Supervisor Church advised that the center is a vital part of the Catawba community.
Supervisor Church moved to appropriate $12,000 from the Board
Contingency Funds. The motion carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Supervisors Flora, McNamara, Minnix, Nickens, Church
NAYS: None
2. ReQuest from Social Services to accept $224.000 in Federal
funds for human service proarams. (Dr. Betty McCrary. Social
Services Director)
February 12, 2002
49
A-021202-2
Dr. McCrary reported that the Federal Government provides funds for
services provided with local dollars which are designed to prevent out of home placement,
mainly foster care. These reimbursement funds must be reinvested into human service
programs within the locality and cannot supplant existing funding or be redirected for non-
services use. Roanoke County received the initial reimbursement of $55,790 in December
2000. These funds were used to employ a financial analyst to focus on management of
funds, verification and submission of claims, and exploring additional revenue streams, and
two social workers to focus on family violence prevention, intervention and case
management on day to day management and service delivery for cases from the Family
Assessment and Planning Team, and preventive and non-custodial foster care.
Dr. McCrary advised that the County has qualified for an additional $224,000
Federal Title IV-E Pass Through funds and requested that the Board appropriate these
funds to the Social Services budget.
Supervisor Minnix moved to accept and appropriate $224,000 to the Social
Services budget. The motion carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Supervisors Flora, McNamara, Minnix, Nickens, Church
NAYS: None
3. ReQuest from Fire and Rescue Department to accept $28.000
Qrant funds for reimbursement of wellness and fitness
eauipment. (Richard Burch. Fire and Rescue Chief)
A·021202-3
50
February 12, 2002
Chief Burch reported that the Federal Emergency Management Agency
awarded the Fire and Rescue Department a 70% grant ($28,000) to purchase physical
fitness equipment. The Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program is designed to provide
departments with assistance in reaching goals in specific areas that might otherwise be
unattainable. Appropriation of these funds to the Fire and Rescue Department budget will
reimburse the department for 70% of the total expense of $40,000 that is required to
create this physical training site. Chief Burch advised that Roanoke County was one ofthe
few Fire and Rescue Departments in Virginia to receive ¡his grant, and it will be a
cooperative effort with Roanoke City, Salem and Vinton. In response to a question from
Supervisor Nickens, Chief Burch advised that the equipment will be placed at the regional
training center.
Supervisor Nickens moved to acceptthe grant and appropriate $28,000. The
motion carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Supervisors Flora, McNamara, Minnix, Nickens, Church
NAYS: None
IN RE:
FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES
1." First readina of ordinance repealina Appendix B. Subdivisions in
its entirety and adopting Chapter 29 Subdivisions. of the
Roanoke County Code. (John Murphv. Associate Planner)
Mr. Murphy advised that the current subdivision ordinance was originally
adopted in the 1950's and there have been significant changes since then. He reported
February 12, 2002
51
that professionals from the engineering and surveying community, county departments,
state agencies including the Health Department, as well as the Roanoke Regional
Homebuilders Association, have been involved in the rewrite process and have offered
significant contributions for the rewrite. The proposed ordinance is a self contained
comprehensive ordinance while the old ordinance was difficult to follow. The Board of
Supervisors held a work session on the draft ordinance on January 8, 2002. The Planning

The timber now on the property will go to waste if not harvested. (3) He felt that Explore
Park should be self-sufficient and not funded by the County and expressed concern that
it will never become profitable.
Chairman Church asked Billy Driverto check into the assessments and asked
Mr. Hodge to investigate the timber on the Glen-Mary site. Supervisor Nickens advised

same level of cuts as the local governments. (2) At a luncheon earlier in the day, Governor
Warner also emphasized how serious the state government funding problems are. (3) He
asked Mr. Mahoney to research and pursue a possible ordinance that would increase funds
by adding an additional $500 fine for certain vehicle offenses such as DUI, reckless driving,
leaving the scene of an accident, hit and run, racing, driving on a suspended or revoked
license; and that the funds would be earmarked for EMS service, and to further research
whether driving privileges could be taken away if the additional fine was not paid.
WORK SESSIONS (4th Floor Conference Room)
1." Work Session on proposal to split th~ Cave Sprina Recreation
Foundation. (Pete Haislip. Parks. Recreation and Tourism
Director)
The work session was held from 4:20 p.m. until 5:00 p.m.
Mr. Haislip reported that a group of citizens were interested in starting a youth
recreation foundation for the youth who would be attending the new Hidden Valley High
School which would split the current Cave Spring Recreation Foundation into two groups.
The current sanctioning policy states that "The Department of Parks and Recreation shall
not sanction or approve the use of County resources or facilities by clubs or organizations
which will duplicate existing services already being provided by the Department area
recreation clubs or the community." This policy was designed to protect the integrity of the
existing recreation clubs who partner with Roanoke County in providing youth athletic
services. However, the policy did not take into account the building of a new high school
and the related community issues that go with it. Mr. Haislip noted that southwest county
IN RE:
February 12, 2002
59
is unique in its approach to youth sports. While other sections of the county have one
booster club that runs all sports in an existing area, Southwest County has a separate club
for girls softball, boys and girls soccer, and two separate boys baseball clubs, plus the
Cave Spring Recreation Foundation which offers football, basketball, cheerleading, and
wrestling.
Mr. Haislip advised that he had met with both organizations in the past week
and the meetings were positive. He pointed out that the Board and staff have worked for
years to improve the facilities and most of them are in the Penn Forest area. He also
advised that the organizations will not be able to use Cave Spring Junior High fields
because the two high schools will be using them. He also advised that the Hidden Valley
group has received a $50,000 donation.
Mr. Hodge expressed his concern regarding the potential demand for
additional fields and the abuse of current fields because they would be used so often.
Supervisor McNamara pointed out that these organizations want to have an identity with
their community and schools. Supervisor Minnix responded that if that was the case, then
other areas such as Clearbrook and Back Creek may also want recreation organizations.
Supervisor Nickens advised that this could be a positive move and would cost more only
if the Board allowed it. Mr. Hodge also pointed out that the AAU also wished to use the
fields more often. Supervisor Flora advised that he felt in the middle of the issue since he
was also a school employee but pointed out that the high schools will have two separate
programs and the recreation organizations won't work if they can't get along.
It was the consensus ofthe Board that Parks and Recreation will continue to
work with both groups on a solution and how this will impact the fields in the community.

February 12, 2002
2. BudQet Work Session
a. Discussion on the procedures for reviewing contributions
to Social Service. Human Service. Cultural and Tourism
Aaencies.
The work session was held from 5:00 p.m. until 5:10 p.m.
Budget Director Brent Robertson asked for direction from the Board on how they would like
to handle this process. Supervisor Church responded that he felt that organizations should
be divided into different segments with social and human service agencies requesting funds
at one meeting and cultural and tourism agencies requesting at another meeting. He also
requested that the Board members fill out their individual funding recommendations in
advance so the Board would have an opportunity to make the decision together.
Mr. Hodge advised that they may have to reduce this category by $50,000
to $75,000, and Supervisor Nickens suggested that the County just let the agencies know
what they can expect in the way of funding.
It was the consensus of the Board to divide the public hearing of requests
between the social and human service agencies at one meeting and the cultural and
tourism agencies at another meeting (March 12,2002 and March 26, 2002).
Chief Financial Officer Diane Hyatt announced that a joint work session with
the School Board is scheduled for March 26, 2002.
