There are no tax increases or fee increases included in the revenue projections. Director of Management and Budget Reta Busher outlined the projections and advised there is a projected net increase of 6%. The projections are estimated on the current tax rates. Ms. Busher advised the staff was not budgeting a beginning fund balance because it is not a true revenue, but a one-time budget item. The fund balance should increase, not decrease. Ms. Busher explained that user fees could generate additional revenues of between $1 to $2 million. February 14, 1989 52 1 Following several questions from the board members, Mr. Hodge reported the staff will continue to update revenues to bring to the board in subsequent work sessions. 2. Landfill Sitinq Mr. Hodge reported that the County Administrator of Bedford County has stated that they are interested in working with Roanoke City in a joint landfill. Mr. Hodge presented a copy of the siting evaluation form that will be used to finalize the rankings of the sites. The ranking will be brought to the Board at the February 28th meeting. Chairman Garrett advised that he had just received a letter from Roanoke City Mayor Taylor concerning the search for a landfi 11 in Bedford County. Mayor Taylor's letter states that the City remains 100% behind the joint effort with Roanoke County in a search for a landfill. Landf i II Consultant John Olver of Olver Associates presented the background of the process including the matrix used to judge the sites. He reported that the Planning Staff and Landfill Citizens Advisory Committee had input into developing the evaluation form. He explained that all testing has been done and economic studies have been completed. Mr. Hodge pointed out that the matrix was changed to give more weight to the impact of a landfill to people. 522 February 14, 1989 - Mr. Olver reviewed the matrix with the board members. The board members questioned several aspects of the weighting factors. Supervisor Nickens suggested that the Board look at establishing a Roanoke County owned and operated landfill, and that a Landfill Authority be established to oversee the landfill. Supervisor Nickens and Johnson also recommended a special area set aside for a monofill. Assistant County Administrator John Hubbard presented the steps involved in the entire landfill site approval process. He also presented a projected time table for meeting these steps. Mr. Hubbard explained the involvement of the Citizens Landfill Advisory Committee. This committee established the policies that will be recommended to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors to minimize and address the impact to the adjoining neighborhoods. IN RE: CITIZENS COMMENTS AND COMMUNICATIONS 1. Mr. B. K. Cruey, representing the Clearbrook Civic League, and a property owner at the proposed Red Hill site, was present. On behalf of the civic league, he expressed opposition to the way the site was chosen at the last minute, and that the property owners were informed only several days before the action February 14, 1989 523 became public. He also presented a position paper outlining their reasons why the site should be rejected. Supervisor Nickens pointed out' that all the proposed si tes have some of the same problems as Red Hill and the property owners also did not find out until shortly before it became public. 2. Kelly Whitnev, Clean Valley Council, spoke requesting expansion of the recycling program and inclusion of the necessary funding in the budget. Supervisor McGraw asked Ms. Whitney to work on this issue at the state level. 3. Craiq Gould, 6433 Crowell Gap Road, also spoke in opposi tion to the proposed Red Hill site and asked why Roanoke County could not work with Bedford County on a landfill site in that area. Supervisor Johnson pointed out that Roanoke County has not been contacted about joining with Bedford County and that Roanoke County has discussed a regional landfill with all surrounding localities. IN RE: WORK SESSIONS (CONTINUED) 3. Recvcling 524 February 14, 1989 - John Olver presented an evaluation study that they had prepared for the Regional Landfill Board. He pointed out that Roanoke County is one of the highest recyclers in the state of Virginia. He reported that 61% of the waste is industrial- commercial, handled by private haulers. Another important aspect of the valley's recycling is that a private industry id already in the business of recycling. Rate studies should also be investigated to encourage reyclcing. The consultant offered several al te.rnati ves for recycling in the County including buy- .... ~ ' . ~".. . back centerš:, .drop-off centers',' curbside separation, commingled collection and an educational program. Dr. 01 ver explained that j*.. this should be:·'a valleywide project to be effective, but Roanoke County should take the leadership role in source separation. Supervisor Garrett suggested that the staff meet with other localities and with the Landfill Board to prepare a regional approach on recycling. 4.
