COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism initiated the master plan process in the
summer of 2005 to develop a comprehensive plan to help guide the growth and
development of parks and recreation programs and facilities for the next 10 years. The
intent of the project was to address the full range of County needs from indoor and outdoor
facilities, land acquisition, as well as programming and maintenance. In addition, park
facility, maintenance, and program standards were developed to incorporate best
management practices as they relate to existing operations, available resources and future
needs.
The foundation of the planning process was based upon community and stakeholder input
throughout the entire process. First and foremost, this master plan was to represent the
desires and needs of the community. During the process of developing the master plan,
seven community meetings, 10 focus groups and numerous stakeholder interviews were
held. In addition, three Board work sessions were conducted, and a statistically valid
county-wide Community Attitude and Interest Survey was undertaken.
This process provided a great deal of valuable information regarding the needs and desires
of our citizens as well as providing direction on some of the areas we need to focus on.
Below is an overview of some of the key findings you will find in the document.
Key Community Values:
. A strong desire for more indoor and outdoor recreation facilities that create a sense
of pride in the community
. Encourage efforts to create accessible pathways, trails and greenways
. Strong support was voiced for the acquisition of land for passive recreation areas
. Maintain and develop facilities to pursue sports marketing initiatives
. Maintain parks and recreation facilities at a high level of quality standards
. Provide parks, facilities and programs in a fair and equitable manner so that
residents of all ages, incomes and abilities have equal access to affordable services
· A willingness to support a higher investment in the park system if a solid plan was in
place to undertake needed improvements and develop quality facilities
. Create a balance of passive and active experiences in park facilities and program
offerings
· Continue to build partnerships with other providers and special interest groups to
maximize existing resources
Key survey findings:
. 81 % of respondent households had visited a county park over the past twelve
months
. 84% of respondent households rated the physical condition of county parks as
either good (62%) or excellent (22%)
. 87% of respondent households that have participated in our programs rated them
as either good (59%) or excellent (28%)
. 59% of respondent households indicated they had a need for greenways for walking
and biking
. 42% of respondent households indicated a need for adult fitness and wellness
programs
· Over 50% of respondents indicated they were very supportive of
renovating/developing greenways forwalking and biking, purchasing land to develop
for passive use, and developing new indoor recreation facilities
Based on community values voiced during the process of developing the master plan and
the results of the survey, the key recommendations are to:
. Develop a multi generational indoor community center with indoor and outdoor
aquatics areas, fitness facilities, gyms and meeting space for programs for all ages
· Develop greenways and trails throughout the valley with connections to the
Roanoke Valley greenway network.
. Acquire passive park land
· Develop a Sports Complex at Green Hill Park
2
In summary, this Master Plan is a guidance document for the Department of Parks,
Recreation and Tourism that will help support and direct a planned effort to keep the
County and the Department focused on its goals, community values, vision and mission to
position itself as one of Roanoke County's greatest assets.
This plan has been approved by the Roanoke County Parks, Recreation and Tourism
Advisory Commission and is now being presented to the Board for your final approval.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Individual projects coming from the plan will be undertaken in compliance with the
County's Capital Improvement Program and budget process.

COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE:
June 26, 2007
AGENDA ITEM:
Request to appropriate $30,000 for construction of the
veterans' monument at the Vinton War Memorial for fiscal year
2007 -2008
SUBMITTED BY:
Elmer C. Hodge
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The Vinton War Memorial is currently undergoing expansion and renovation and is due to
reopen this Fall. The Vinton War Memorial building will continue to serve as a monument
for the Vinton community for the World War II veterans. As part of the reconstruction
project, a new monument will be erected to memorialize those from the area who gave
their lives for their country in World War II and the other wars up to the present time. It is
my understanding that the names of those soldiers who were residents of the Town of
Vinton as well as the other parts of Roanoke County will be included on the monument.
A competition was held for the design of the new monument. A design by Larry Bechtel,
John Kirtley, Jr., and Mary Babcock was chosen and photos of the model are attached as
Exhibit A. The estimated cost of the new monument is $300,000, and the Vinton War
Memorial Vision Committee has been actively fund raising for this project. The Town of
Vinton has appropriated $18,000 toward construction of the monument and plans to
contribute an additional $12,000 for a total donation of $30,000. The Board has indicated
their desire to share in the cost of the monument and to match the Town of Vinton's
contribution.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds in the amount of $30,000 are available in the fiscal year 2007-2008 Board
Contingency Fund.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends appropriating $30,000 from the fiscal year 2007 -2008 Board
Contingency Fund to the Town of Vinton as the County's contribution towards the
construction of the new veterans' monument at the Vinton War Memorial.

AGENDA ITEM:
Request to accept and appropriate state revenue
reimbursements in the amount of $920,000 for fiscal year (FY)
2006-2007 to the Department of Social Services for provided
services.
SUBMITTED BY:
Dr. Betty McCrary
Director of Social Services
APPROVED BY:
Elmer C. Hodge
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The Roanoke County Department of Social Services receives, throughout the year,
additional appropriations for public assistance and services delivery. The state has made
available $920,000 for the following programs: auxiliary grants, AFDC/foster care, special
needs adoptions, refugee resettlement, fuel administration, independent living, family
preservation/reunification, VIEW working and transition, Head Start transition, non-view
day care and adult services. The Department of Social Services cannot access these
funds until the County has appropriated the same. The Board of Supervisors is requested
to appropriate $920,000 to the FY 2006-2007 Social Services budget, and to appropriate
the related revenues from the state. For comparative purposes, the year-end adjustment
approved by the Board for FY 2005-2006 was $800,023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This report will add an additional $920,000 to the Social Services revenue budget and
expenditure budget. Any local required match is currently available in the budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends appropriation of $920,000 to the FY 2006-2007 Social Services budget
and appropriation of the same revenues from the state, to be distributed for the following

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE:
June 26, 2007
AGENDA ITEM:
Request to accept and appropriate revenues in the amount of
$830,000 for fiscal year (FY) 2006-2007 to the Sheriff's
Department for reimbursement from the state and the City of
Salem for jail expenses related to care and confinement of
inmates.
SUBMITTED BY:
Brent Robertson
Director of Management and Budget
APPROVED BY:
Elmer C. Hodge
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
During FY 2006-2007, as in previous years, the inmate population at the Roanoke County
jail has remained above capacity. As a result, operational costs such as outsourcing
inmates to other facilities, food, utilities, medical costs, etc., continue to consume a
substantial portion of the jail's budget. Due to the inmate population, the Sheriff is
projecting expenditures related to inmate care to exceed original budget allocations by
$830,000 for FY 2006-2007. The major driver of these increased costs is the outsourcing
of prisoners. It is still possible the Sheriff will have a deficit; however, this is all the state
revenue we are anticipating. (For comparative purposes, the year-end adjustment
approved by the Board for FY 2005-2006 was $475,000.)
For FY 2007-2008, the Sheriff informed the Board of these cost increases during the
budget development process and the Sheriff's FY 2007-2008 budget was increased by
$500,000.
Roanoke County is reimbursed by the state for salaries, mileage, office expenses, and for
housing state prisoners. The reimbursement for state-responsible inmates varies between
a rate of $6 and $8 per day. In addition, the City of Salem reimburses the County for
housing its prisoners on a per diem basis.
State reimbursement for commonwealth responsible prisoners is subject to state prisoner
population, general assembly appropriations, and political factors, variables difficult to
consider in revenue projections.
During previous fiscal years, state revenue receipts have exceeded the conservative state
budget projections by an amount that would cover increased jail expenditures caused by
higher than normal inmate populations. Based on the revenue estimates versus the
projected revenues anticipated to be collected from the state for the Sheriff's Department
for FY 2006-2007, revenues in excess of budget for these categories should total
approximately $590,000. In addition, reimbursement revenue by the City of Salem for city-
responsible prisoners in the jail exceeded budget projections by $240,000.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact - 100 percent state funds and contractual reimbursements.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends an appropriation adjustment to recognize an additional $830,000 of
revenue for FY 2006-2007 for personnel and operations reimbursement and increasing the
FY 2006-2007 Sheriff's Department budget within the Sheriff's department by $830,000 to
cover increased operational costs of the jail caused by increased inmate population,
staffing requirements, and capital reimbursements.

Request to appropriate $46,000 for fiscal year (FY) 2006-2007
for reimbursement from the State Compensation Board for the
Commonwealth Attorney's office.
SUBMITTED BY:
Brent Robertson
Director of Management and Budget
APPROVED BY:
Elmer C. Hodge
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The State Compensation Board approved an additional attorney position for the
Commonwealth Attorney for FY 2006-2007; however, this position was approved in July
2006 and was, therefore, not included in the County's FY 2006-2007 budget. These
revenues have been received from the State Compensation Board and need to be
appropriated to the Commonwealth Attorney's personnel budget to fund the salary of the
new position.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact - 100 percent state funds.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends appropriating $46,000 of revenue from the State Compensation Board
and appropriating $46,000 to the Commonwealth Attorney's personnel budget for fiscal
year 2006-2007.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE:
June 26, 2007
AGENDA ITEM:
Request to appropriate funds in the amount of $300,000 for
fiscal year 2006-2007 for the Comprehensive Services Act.
SUBMITTED BY:
John M. Chambliss, Jr.
Assistant County Administrator
APPROVED BY:
Elmer C. Hodge
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
In 1992, the State implemented the Comprehensive Services Act (CSA) to serve as the
funding source for youth with special needs and their families. The plan uses a
collaborative approach to evaluate the needs of the child in a manner that will reduce the
likelihood of services being duplicated or conflicting with other services being provided.
Further, the plan seeks the most cost effective means of educating or treating the child.
The services provided under the CSA are either mandated or non-mandated. In the case
of mandated services, 56 percent of the cost is provided by the State, and the locality pays
the remaining 44 percent. For non-mandated services, there is a shared match forthe first
$125,000 per year; the locality is then responsible for 100 percent of any costs in excess of
this amount. In addition, some specialized and grant funds are available for certain
qualified youth; but these also have limitations.
In recent years, the cost of providing mandated services in accordance with the
requirements of the CSA has increased significantly. This increase can be attributed to
several factors: (1) Children are being identified at earlier ages, and the presenting
symptoms are more severe than in the past. Much of the increased need for services is
attributed to substance abuse, mental health issues, family dysfunction, and domestic
violence. (2) There has been a significant increase in the number of children being served
by this program. In the past ten years, the number of foster care cases handled by Social
Services has grown from 35 per year to 117 today. Some of the cases incur minor costs
for counseling and mentoring services; however, more severe placements in residential
treatment facilities may cost $200,000 per year for a child.
In fiscal year 2006-2007, the cost of providing mandated services exceeded the amount
budgeted by $300,000. Staff is requesting that the Board appropriate $300,000 from the
general fund unappropriated balance to cover these additional costs. To address the
anticipated increase in costs for this program, an additional $600,000 has been included in
the fiscal year 2007-2008 budget.
A CSA Review Committee has been established to evaluate the structure of this CSA
program at the local level and to make recommendations that will streamline the process
and lead toward cost containment. The mission of the committee is to encourage a more
creative approach to the provision of services and supports with the primary goal being to
preserve families by keeping children in their homes and communities. The committee was
formed in January 2007 and has conducted site visits to other localities to evaluate their
operations. Focus group meetings are scheduled for July 2007 at which time key areas of
the program will be evaluated and recommendations for changes will be presented. In
August 2007, a seminar is planned for all participants in the CSA process that will focus on
creative approaches to the provision of services. It is anticipated that the committee will
present their recommendations to the Community Policy and Management Team (CPMT)
in Fall 2007 for approval and implementation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This request will require an appropriation of $300,000 from the general fund
unappropriated balance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request to appropriate funds in the amount of $300,000
from the general fund unappropriated balance for the provision of services under the
Comprehensive Services Act.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Since July 2004, the Commonwealth's Attorney office has been providing service to the
Town of Vinton through a contractual arrangement. The Town pays a fee to the county,
which is then distributed as a supplement to the assistant attorneys in the Commonwealth

This arrangement has worked well for both parties, and they would like to renew the
contract again. A copy of the contract is attached.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Town will pay the County $8,200 to provide legal services for the 2007-2008 fiscal
year. This money will be paid to the five Assistant Commonwealth's Attorneys, as a
supplement of $58.60 per pay period. (The $8,200 will also cover the employer portion of
the FICA tax for these employees.)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the following:
1. Approve the attached contract for the County Commonwealth's Attorney Office to
provide legal services to the Town of Vinton for the 2007-2008 fiscal year
2. Appropriate a revenue of $8,200 from the Town of Vinton, and appropriate increased
expenditure of $8,200 for salary supplements and FICA for the Commonwealth's
