support in the form of a resolution for federal and state fundin
for the new airport terminal building. This would require no

only. Supervisor Nickens asked that this item be tabled until

3. Authorization for Utility Director to construct
off-site water facilities in certain cases: utility Director
Clifford Craig stated the County Ordinance authorizes the Utility
Director to give credits to developers up to one-half the
off-site facility fees for facilities they construct for water.
Studies have shown that there is a less costly way for Roanoke
County to handle this whereby the County would either construct
the facilities or contract directly with the contractor who is
constructing the facilities. Staff is recommending that the
utility Director be authorized to use one-half the off-site
facility fees to construct the facility. This would require no
additional staff time.
Supervisor Garrett moved the staff recommendation. The
motion was seconded by Supervisor McGraw and carried by the
following recorded vote:

NAYS: None

Request from FRIENDSHIP MANOR APARTMENT VILLAGE
Corporation for Resolution to the General Assembly
to classify and desiqnate as exempt from taxation,
pursuant to Section 6 (a) (6) of Article X of the
Constitution of Virginia, property located in the
County of Roanoke
County Attorney Paul Mahoney reported that when the
Board authorized the settlement of pending litigation with
Friendship Manor on January 13, 1987, one element of the
settlement was that the Board approve a resolution to the Genera
Assembly supporting the tax-exempt status of Friendship Manor
Apartment Village. He requested that the prepared resolution
be amended to designate Friendship Manor Apartment Village
instead of Friendship Manor, Inc.
Caldwell Butler, Attorney for Friendship Manor spoke i
support of this petition. He stated that Friendship Manor
Apartment Village had qualified for a 50lC3 designation stating
their income was not taxable, and that they conduct themselves a
a non-profit organization. He further stated that 116 units are
located in the City and 225 are located in the County. The
portion located in the City has been exempt from taxation.

January 27, 1987
Commissioner of the Revenue R. Wayne Compton spoke in
opposition to this petition and presented documents which he felt
supported his position.

sufficient evidence that Friendship Manor Apartment Village was
a taxable entity, and approval of this resolution was contrary
to previous opinions of the Attorney General. He also questioned
whether the documents presented support the request for
tax-exempt status. His main concern was that no member of the
board or legal counsel has had an opportunity to review the
legislation that has been submitted to the General Assembly for
consideration.
Chairman Johnson requested that Mr. Butler provide a
copy of the draft legislation to County Attorney, and Mr. Butler
stated he would comply. Chairman Johnson announced this had been
a very difficult decision for all board members and he thanked
the County Administrator and County Attorney for their work on
the proposed settlement.
Supervisor Johnson moved to approve the prepared
resolution as amended by the County Attorney. The motion was
seconded by Supervisor Brittle.
