Summary of arants for the County of Roanoke REPORTS AND INQUIRIES OF BOARD MEMBERS IN RE: Supervisor McNamara: He stated that if we compare this year's real estate activity to prior years, there has been greater activity due to rising real estate values. He advised citizens that if they feel that their assessment is incorrect, there is a formal appeals process. He noted that agricultural/undeveloped land was the "hottest" category this year and that the overall increase across the board is higher than in prior years. He advised that the Board of Supervisors does not establish assessments, but January 10, 2006 13 they do set tax rates. He stated that this affords the Board an opportunity to examine the tax rates for the coming year without sacrificing the needs of the County. Supervisor Church: (1) He stated that Mr. Hodge is investigating the inclement weather policy inquiries that he had received from several employees, and he advised that we will be reporting back to these employees.

He noted that there is a repeat offender on Red Lane Extension and that this matter has been in court several times. He stated that he has been receiving complaints from citizens and business owners regarding this eyesore and noted the impact it has on economic development efforts and the impression made on newcomers to Roanoke County. He requested that Mr. Hodge and Mr. Mahoney determine a way to resolve this issue. Supervisor Flora: (1) He stated that he hoped everyone had a Merry Christmas and a nice holiday. (2) He referenced the increase in his real estate assessment but noted that the County is charged with assessing fair market value, and this is what has been done. He advised citizens that there are opportunities to appeal to the Real Estate Valuation Office, the Board of Equalization, and the Circuit Court Judges. He indicated that he has received more calls this year than ever before on reassessments, and that he has received three calls so far. He voiced support for investigating the possibility of relief with respect to the tax rates; however, he noted that 14 January 10, 2006 an aggressive agenda for the County has been established for the future, and we do not want to jeopardize this progress.

Mr. Younger stated that the citizen survey that will take place in February will build the "vision" and the plan. He presented the following information received from citizens in Roanoke County in both the public forums and focus groups: Public Forum: (a) parkland needs; (b) general perception of facilities and programs; (c) what the community values about the park system; (d) how the County is supporting these listed values; (e) public perception of the strengths of the parks and recreation system; (f) key issues affecting operations; (g) facility needs desired; (h) value received; (i) user fees for programs and services; 0) community's vision for economic sustainability for the County; (k) vision for parks and recreation.

Work session to discuss new public safety trainina academy. (Rick Burch. Chief. Fire & Rescue: Ray Lavinder. Chief of Police: Gerald Holt. Sheriff: Dan O'Donnell. Assistant County Administrator: and John Chambliss. Assistant Cou nty Administrator) The work session was held from 5: 15 p.m. until 5:40 p.m. Staff present included: John M. Chambliss, Assistant County Administrator; Dan O'Donnell, Assistant County Administrator; Ray Lavinder, Chief of Police; Rick Burch, Chief of Fire and Rescue; Gerald Holt, Sheriff. Representatives from Virginia Tech included Elizabeth Gilboy, Director of the Community Design Assistance Center, College of Architecture and Urban Studies; Terrie Fisher, Outreach Coordinator; Bharati Karmarker, January 10, 2006 17 Architecture Student; and Monica Dazzini, Geography Student. Also present was Ewell Hunt, Franklin County Sheriff's Office. Mr. Hodge outlined the following reasons for considering a new public safety training academy: (1) Cardinal Academy is out of space; (2) Sheriff's Office will need to train approximately 170 new staff in the near future; (3) existing Fire and Rescue Training Center needs to be expanded; (4) increased focus on Homeland Security has made available opportunities for funding, particularly if there is regional cooperation. He indicated that he would like to capitalize on the success experienced with the Fire and Rescue Training Center model. He further advised that he and former Chairman Altizer have spoken with Roanoke City Mayor Nelson Harris and City Manager Darlene Burcham regarding this project. Chief Lavinder stated that Roanoke County officers currently train with Roanoke City, and this has been a good program. The Academy occupies approximately 1,500 square feet in The Jefferson Center, which is one-tenth of the space actually needed. He further advised that they have been asked to vacate this space, and Roanoke City is searching for a new location for the Academy. Chief Lavinder reported that he has approximately 160 officers who require in-service training annually, as well as training that is required to meet turnover needs. He noted that staff is working with Virginia Tech to design a facility that will meet these growing needs. Chief Burch advised that the Fire and Rescue Training Center has been very successful, but they are reaching their current capacity. He reported that they 18 January 10, 2006 have recently become the second accredited training site in the State of Virginia, which has also increased demand for use of the facilities. There was general discussion regarding the possible location of a new public safety training academy at the Kessler Mill site currently occupied by the Fire and Rescue Training Center and the County's Parks, Recreation and Tourism and General Services Departments. There was discussion regarding expansion of the current Fire and Rescue Training Center versus a campus style layout with multiple buildings. Sheriff Holt stated that an expansion of the facility will not be sufficient to meet the current needs of the County; and he noted that at the present time, his deputies do not have an opportunity to train with County Police or Fire and Rescue personnel. He stated that he has 110 deputies who routinely require training, and they are currently members of the Cardinal Regional Academy. The Cardinal Academy has limited services available to the County, and Sheriff Holt noted that he will have a minimum of 176 positions that will need to be hired and trained for the Regional Jail Authority. With initial turnover, he advised that the total amount of staff to be trained will likely reach 250 to 300 people. He voiced support for a campus style facility at the Kessler Mill site. Sheriff Holt also advised that the County currently only looks at the minimum training mandated by the National Incident Management System (NIMS); however, he is concerned about mandated training that may be forthcoming as a result of the recent natural disasters in the Gulf States. He stated that he would like to focus January 10, 2006 19 on advanced training beyond the minimum requirements, and noted that there are only three academies nationwide that provide management training. There was a consensus of the Board for staff to proceed with studying this matter. 3. Work session to discuss staffina needs for the Community Development Department. (Dan O'Donnell. Assistant County Administrator: Arnold Covey. Director of Community Development) The work session was held from 7:03 p.m. until 7:07 p.m. Mr. Covey advised that in a work session held on December 20, the Board was provided an overview of staffing needs in the Community Development Department. As a result of the meeting, the Board requested that staff report back with the existing and proposed departmental organizational charts, as well as a proposed budget and job descriptions. Mr. Covey stated that due to the diversity of the department, there is a need for additional management personnel. The proposed budget reflects six (6) additional personnel at a total cost of $364,540 including fringe benefits and equipment (work space and computers). He also stated that staff conducted a review of similar job positions that are currently available throughout the State of Virginia. Mr. O'Donnell noted that many jurisdictions in Virginia are expanding their Community Development Departments at this time and it may take some time to fill these positions due to competition in the current marketplace. Mr. Covey noted that the 20 January 10, 2006 workload in the department has intensified greatly. There was a consensus of the Board to approve the additional positions. IN RE: CLOSED MEETING The closed meeting was held from 5:48 p.m. until 6:50 p.m. IN RE: CERTIFICATION RESOLUTION R-011006-4 At 7:02 p.m., Supervisor Flora moved to return to open session and adopt the certification resolution.
