Kenneth Hogan, Chief Animal Control Officer
reported that rabid cats are now a much more serious problem than
in years past.
Mr. Hogan presented color-coded maps showing the
spread of rabies throughout Virginia.
While rabies has not
become a problem in the Roanoke Valley, surrounding localities
have already experienced an upsurge in the number of rabid
animals. Of the confirmed cases of rabies in Virginia from 1980
to 1986, there were 3 rabid dogs and 29 rabid cats.
Supervisor Brittle asked if Mr. Hogan had a projection
on the number of cats that might be picked up.
Mr. Hogan
responded that most of the animals will be unadoptable and
euthanized.
Supervisor Nickens was concerned that the amount of
time spent picking up cats might take away time spent answering
complaints of dogs running at large.
He questioned the
enforceability of the proposed ordinance, and suggested that the
item be postponed. Mr. Hodge responded that the item is only for
discussion at this time, and the proposed ordinance must go
through first and second reading of the ordinance before it is
passed.
Supervisor McGraw moved to approve a Rabies prevention
program and moved forward with the first reading of the ordinance.
The motion was seconded by Supervisor Johnson and carried by the
following recorded vote:

4. Request for Approval of Industrial Access Funds
for Bolling Steel: Timothy Gubala, Assistant County
Administrator for Community Development reported that in 1979,
Roanoke County initiated an Industrial Access request for Bolling
Steel off Route 11/460. The original request was dropped because
of the drainage problems and exorbitant cost of constructing the
road. Staff has since been meeting with them to find other
alternatives. There is now an adjacent landowner willing to
donate land for a right-of-way. With the donation, the
construction is estimated to cost only $50,000 to $60,000 and
would come from next year's fiscal allocation.
Supervisor Nickens moved to request Industrial Access
Funds for Bolling Steel and accept the right of way from the
adjoining property owner. The motion was seconded by Supervisor
McGraw and carried by the following recorded vote:

REPORTS AND INQUIRIES OF BOARD MEMBERS
Supervisor Brittle announced that T. D. Steele has
requested a letter from the Board of Supervisors in support of a
Certificate of Need for a 120 bed nursing facility near Buck
Mountain Road. Supervisor Brittle moved that the Chairman draft
such a letter. Supervisor Johnson seconded the motion.
Supervisor Nickens asked if rezoning was necessary for the
nursing facility. He was concerned that if a letter of support
was sent by the Board, and then later the Board must hear a
rezoning on the matter, it could place the Board in a difficult
situation. County Attorney Paul Mahoney stated that if a
rezoning was necessary, he would not recommend a letter of
support be sent. Chairman Johnson asked Assistant County
Administrator Tim Gubala to investigate to see if a rezoning
would be necessary and report back to the Board by the end of the
meeting.
Supervisor Garrett asked if handicapped people could be
deputized to issue citations to those parked in handicapped
spaces. Chairman Johnson directed County Attorney Paul Mahoney
to study this issue for legalities and report back to the Board
of Supervisors on April 28, 1987. Supervisor Brittle also
suggested that contact be made with various handicapped agencies
to put pressure on commercial to properly mark handicapped spaces
for enforceability.

ordinance could be adopted. Mr. Mahoney stated the present

IN RE:
BUDGET WORK SESSION
Chairman Johnson announced that the budget preparation
has been a difficult process this year. Following adoption of
this budget, Chairman Johnson proposed that the School Board,
the Board of Supervisors, and both staffs meet together to look
at the finances and capital needs of the County for the next five
years, so that all are aware of the revenues and constraints.
Chairman Johnson moved that $200,000 from the sale of
the Old Courthouse, $100,000 from the Unappropriated Fund
Balance, $50,000 from the Board Contingency Fund, and $l50,000
anticipated from the sale of unnamed real estate be affixed to
the Roanoke County School budget under Item l7Bl. Supervisor
Garrett seconded the motion. Bayes Wilson, Superintendent of
Schools explained Item l7Bl was the instruction account which
pays the salaries of teachers, principals, counselors, aides,
school secretaries, and certain supply accounts. Supervisor
Johnson responded his intent is that these funds be used for an 8
percent raise in teacher's salaries. Mr. Wilson advised their top

priorities are instructional salaries and purchase of school
buses.
Supervisor Nickens stated that there is an excess of
$600,000 that was not budgeted to be utilized in the current
operating budget, but is money that is expended or earmarked for
expenditures.
His concern is that this is the fifth year that
the Board was going to live within its resources and not spend
non-recurring revenue, and yet now the Board is going to spend
another $500,000 of non-recurring revenue for recurring expenses.
Supervisor Nickens asked Mr. Wilson how he funded 18 additional
personnel positions when they were not budgeted. Mr. Wilson
responded some of that surplus was budgeted in the School Bus
Fund, and some was budgeted in the Textbook Fund, and some were
unbudgeted. There is some confusion as to what the surplus
actually is. There were 18 positions cut from last year's budget.
They later found they needed eight of the positions and planned
to request extra sales tax if necessary. They anticipate
approximately $90,000 surplus this year which will go into the
School Bus Fund.
Supervisor Nickens made a substitute motion to
Supervisor Johnson's motion to lower the amount to $300,000, to
increase the decal fee by $5.00 which woul,d generate an
additional $200,000, and that the Fund Balance be restored by
$100,000 and $100,000 be used to fund CORTRAN.
There was no
second, and the substitute died.
Supervisor McGraw stated that he was concerned with
giving teachers an 8 percent raise while other County employees
will receive only a 5 percent raise, and was also concerned with
using non-recurring revenues for this purpose.
Supervisor Brittle felt that there was much to do in
the area of consolidating services between the County and School
division in areas of recreation, transportation and others.

iability which has beendiscussed in Executive Session, and a
YMCA payment that has not been budgeted for.
