IN RE: REPORTS OF OFFICERS, DEPARTMENTS AND COMMITTEES County Attorney - No Report. ~ ~ I J II " I i I I I I ì ! ! I ! I I ~ ll~ August 28, 1984 I Department of Development - Superintendent of Development, Tim Gubala, reported on elevating equipment inspection process and fees structure. Roanoke County presently has no inspection certificates for elevating equipment. The Department of Development has investigated many ways in which to inspect elevators, one way would be to train members of the County Development Staff to inspect the equipment but this would involve a school that is held once a year in Arizona with a heavy registration fee. Therefore, Mr. Gubala suggested that the County contract for specialized service for the inspections because of the high cost of training his staff. Mr. Gubala requested authorization from the Board to start the process by obtaining bids. The Board granted such authorization. Mr. Gubala also reported on the flooding situation in County areas not officially designated as flood hazard areas. Mr. Gubala suggested that the Flood Plain Ordinance be amended and suggested that this be referred to the Planning Commission. The Board concurred with Mr. Gubala's suggestion. Department of Fiscal Management - No Report. Personnel - No Report. Department of Public Facilities - John Hubbard, Superintendent of the Department of Public Facilities, brought a request before the Board from Jessie Richard and Carolyn F. Martin to waive the County Water Ordinance so that they may be able to use an existing well on a vacant lot on which they are preparing to build. Mr. Hubbard's staff has researched this request and the staff recommendation is that the request be denied and that the Martin's be required to connect to the water system that the County has already installed. Supervisor McGraw inquired as to the past policy with requests similar to that of the Martins. Mr. Hubbard explained that if the situation follows the ordinance then the staff recommends that the request be denied and that the party hook up to the Roanoke County line. Supervisor McGraw moved that the request for the waiver of the I I f--- ~ ~ ----- --- 120 August 28, 1984 -~-' -- - department I I I I Supervisor McGraw congratulated John Hubbard and his ~I on their efforts during the recent flooding and sewag I I II I' I County Water Ordinance be denied. This motion was carried by unanimous voice vote. problems. County Administrator - Donald R. Flanders, County Administrator, reported on the Flood Project. The purposes of this project are to assist those who suffered damage, to alert those who potentially could be affected in other areas as to the problems of flooding and to hold educational classes as to what the individuals could do to protect themselves, and to have the State Highway and Transportation Department address the problems with the bridges and culvert facilities that are in North County, and to have Mr. Hubbard review the Army Corp of Engineer report and come back with an evaluation. Mr. Flanders also reported on an outline of the federal limits on the Industrial Development bonds. The Government has put a ceiling of $150 per capita on allocations each state. Governor Robb in Executive Order 50 authorized $75 per capita for each jurisdiction within the Commonwealth of Virginia. These ceilings will give the Industrial Development Authority approximately 5.5 million dollars to expend on the development of various projects at a lower interest rate than normal market rate. In 1983 the County closed $8,665,000.00 worth of Industrial Development bonds. Up to August 15, 1984, there have been $3,600,000.00 worth of bonds closed. Up to June 19, 1984, there were inducement resolutions totaling 2,300,000.00 Since June 19, 1984, the Industrial Development Authority has had requests in the neighborhood of $19,000,000.00. Mr. Flanders also stated the County's IDA would report a the next meeting on the use of the allocated funds. Mr. Flanders recognized Mr. Tommy Fuqua, Fire and Emergency Services Coordinator, who reported on a proposed regional concept for the handling of hazardous materials. - ~ I to,¡ I I ¡ I I I I I thel ¡ I I I II 121 ~ August 28, 1984 I Mr. Fuqua reported that he had worked with the coordinators in the City of Roanoke and the City of Salem. There are currently two fully equipped hazardous materials response vehicles. One vehicle is stationed in the City of Salem (owned by the City of Salem) and the other is stationed in the City of Roanoke (owned by the State). The overall costs for the County to equip a truck to handle hazardous materials will be approximately $70,000. His department has located a vehicle that is presently housed at the vinton Rescue Squad that can be used as a support vehicle to those trucks stationed in Salem andRoanoke City. with the equipping of the vehicle, there will always be a fully equipped truck located in the Valley at all times. I Mr. Flanders, County Administrator, requested that when the Board adjourns to August 30, 1984, to consider change orders for construction at the Roanoke County Courthouse and the Vinton Library, bid committee reports on the telephone system for the Courthouse, demolition of the Rosenburg Building and a bid committee report on bond counsel, and giving authority to name unnamed roads to the County Administrator for the E9ll System. Dr. Nickens noted that there was a prepared resolution for the demolition of the Rosenburg building. Supervisor Brittle moved the following prepared resolution for the demolition of the Rosenburg Building.
