Adopted on motion of Supervisor Minter and the following recorded vote. AYES: Supervisors Burton, Myers, Minter, Johnson and Park I NAYS: None IN RE: REAL ESTATE TAX RATE Administrator Flanders presented a synopsis of his budget message and goals projected in the 1982/83 fiscal year budget. He noted the long and short-term range plans, capital improvements, salaries and proposal of revising the fee structure for specialized services. Bayes Wilson, Superintendent, Roanoke County Schools, also presented a brief synopsis of the school budget inclusions and reason for some increases, i.e. 7% increase for employees' salaries and replacement of some school buses with mileage in excess of 100,000 miles. He noted I the budget is increased only 8% which is 1% less than the cost of inflation. Those citizens who spoke on behalf of the Virginia Taxpayers Association favoring retention of the elementary Guidance Counselor positions were Dr. Michael Sisk, Thomas Walls and Glenna Richardson. Mrs. Charlsie Pafford, President, Roanoke County Council of PTA's spoke in favor of the school budget as presented and expressed the view that all requests in the budget were legitimate requests. She further pointed out that in order to attract industry into the County which is a major goal, that schools and education would be a much needed asset to the people connected with industry. I Mr. Burks Anderson stated that in view of the schools allotting I; money to purchase land adjacent to the William Byrd High School to construct Ii a Junior High School, this seems to be out of line since student enrollment is declining and the money could be used to work in the present school - system. ~i 4-27-82 ~{d 7 I Dr. Harry Nickens, School Board Chairman, explained that even though they are concerned with maintaining the present schools and the lowest tax rate, they are also concerned with the future. The School Board decided that purchasing the available land is the wisest investment of bond interest funds at this time. The interest accrued from the School bonds can only be used for such projects, Dr. Nickens pointed out. Mr. Winston Shelor, Sr. stated the Board should hold down taxes for the benefit of retired citizens on fixed incomes, especially in view of the fact that many people are losing their jobs and going bankrupt. I Mr. David Byrd expressed the viewpoint that it was unnecessary to purchase 21 school buses at a cost exceeding $400,000 simply because they have over 100,000 miles. He stated that if the buses are well maintained they should last a considerable length of time. Mr. Byrd pointed out that he has driven tractor-trailers, buses and other motor equipment and was knowledgeable enough about such engines to know they would support more mileage than 100,000 miles. Brendan Wilkinson, President, West Texas Hollow Civic League, stated they have studied the budget, including school budget, and desire to learn about the financial situation in the County. Mr. Wilkinson further stated the $1.08 proposed tax rate to be in line with current inflation. The organization agrees to increase teachers salaries if they are deserved, but feel there is room for reduction. The organization is in favor of good education standards. I Ms. Ileada Ribble, representative, Virginia Taxpayers Association of Roanoke Valley, thanked the Board for consideration of $1.08 as proposed for the tax rate. She further stated the VTA has recommended elimination of 19 guidance counselors and the purchase of the 21 school buses. Mr. Bob Johnson noted that the quality of education is very high and that students from two-to-twenty-two years old have access to an - 1.....1 ,....- 4-27-82 ;~ d 8 education. Mr. Johnson asked the Board to 'fully fund' the school budget. He thanked the Board for holding the line on services and their cost. Mr. Stan Reas informed the Board that as a taxpayer there were I some things he did not want the Board to spend money for, i.e. contributions to "charity-type" organizations. He felt that if organizations wanted contributions, they should ask the citizens directly because the Board should not spend the taxpayers money as they see fit. IN RE: SCHOOL BUDGET Supervisor Minter inquired of Director of Finance John Chambliss how much the tax rate increased due to electric rates and the courthouse; Mr. Chambliss informed that ll~ was necessary to cover those two items. Supervisor Burton also explained that the motive for purchasing I the 21 school buses was due to the fact that after 10-12 years parts are not available and some buses are used for spare parts for the same vintage of these buses and also the problem with increasing electric bills. I buses in use. She said she had no problem with accepting the purchase The total of school budget from local funds is not to exceed $19,352,304.00. Supervisor Burton further approved of the 7% raise for school administration employees and for County employees. Supervisor Burton moved to approve the school budget as recommended. Adopted on motion of Supervisor Burton and the following recorded vote. AYES: Supervisor BUTton, Minter, Johnson and Park NAYS: Supervisor Myers Supervisor Myers stated his view that the school board had tried I "somewhat harder this year to keep the school budget to a minimum and I think the 7% increase in wages is a fair increase but with what's facing us next year, in the loss of Salem as part of the County schools, we have not done enough to bring about a reduction in this budget to help us next year and I think we need to take some drastic steps because with a 1---( ! tax increase this year and a tax increase next year, it's going to be a ~l .., 4-27-82 ~~ ti 9 " burden on the homeowners that they can't stand and so I'll have to vote no. IN RE: REAL ESTATE TAX RATE I RESOLUTION NO. 3113 SETTING THE TAX LEVY ON REAL ESTATE SITUATE IN ROANOKE COUNTY FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR 1982. BE IT RESOLVED that the levy for the twelve-month period beginning January 1, 1982, and ending December 31, 1982, be, and it hereby is set for a tax rate of $ 1.08 per ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS of assessed valuation on all classes of taxable real estate and mobile homes as classified by Section 58-829.3 of the 1950 Code of Virginia, as amended, situate in Roanoke County.

AYES: Supervisors Burton, Minter, Johnson and Park NAYS: Supervisor Myers I Supervisor Myers commended Administrator Flanders on the budget and keeping the rate as low as $1.08 which he thought a year ago would be at least $1.20.

Chairman Park commended the staff on the work they did in preparing the budget and for holding the line to maintain what we now have.
