AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE:
January 8, 2008
AGENDA ITEM:
Request to accept and appropriate a grant in the amount of
$430,000 from the Virginia Department of Fire Programs and
$350,000 'from other sources for the construction of a new
burn buildin,g.
SUBMITTED BY:
Richard E. Burch, Jr.
Fire and Rescue Chief
APPROVED BY:
Elmer C. Hodge
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINIS-rRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
In 1998, Roanoke County entered into an agreement with Roanoke City, City of Salem,
and the Town of Vinton to build the Roanoke Valley Regional Fire/EMS Training Center
and use a portion of each locality's State Fire Program Fund to repay the $1.9 million
construction loan. This agreement provided a funding formula that allocated a portion of
the construction loan applicable to each locality. This formula is still used today to share
annual operating revenue for the facility.
The success of this venture is demonstrated every day by the increased usage of the
facility by not only the four localities included in the agreement, but also outside fire/rescue
agencies and other departments. The facility operates day and night and often on the
weekends. Training props have been improved or added throughout the years and the
grounds now host a confined space maze, technical rescue props, trench rescue mock,
and a burn building.
The current burn building is over 20 years old and has had several renovations through the
years. It has reached the end of its useful life and it is now imperative that this critical
training prop be replaced with a new, state-of-the-art structure. The four localities have
once again jointly pursued funding through the Virginia Department of Fire Programs with
much success. A grant in the amount of $430,000 was awaJded to the localities to fund
the new construction of a burn building on the Kessler Mill Road site. Further details of the
grant are contained in the attached documentation from the Virginia Department of Fire
Programs (attachments 1 & 2). Estimates show that an additional $350,000 is needed to
fully fund an adequate new structure. Utilizing the existing formula, each locality will be
responsible for a portion of this additional cost as follows:
Roanoke County
Roanoke City
City of Salem
Town of Vinton
Total
44% $154,000
440/0 $154,000
80J'c> $ 28,000
40/0 $ 14.000
1000/0 $350,000
By replacing this critical training structure, the entire facility will continue along the
successful path it currently follows, providing training for the Roanoke Valley jurisdictions
and beyond.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The projected cost of the new Burn Building Training Prop is $780,000, with $430,000
funded by a grant from the Virginia Department of Fire Programs. The additional $350,000
will be split among the four original jurisdictions using the funding formula established in
the Roanoke Valley Regional Fire Training agreement. The financing recommendation is
to add the County's 440/0 portion of the additional funds needed, or $154,000, to the
existing insurance reserve fund loan balance of $213,559 which will be repaid at a rate of
$60,000 per year with revenue from the State Fire Programs Fund. No new County money
would be required fron1 the General Fund budget.
Staff are currently working on a memorandum of agreement with the participating localities
and will bring this back to the Board for approval at a future meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Accept and appropriate funds for the construction of a new burn building from the
followings sources:
a. $430,000 in grant funds from the Virginia Department of Fire Programs
b. $154,000 from the County's insurance reserve fund, to be added to the
existing loan balance of $213,559, and to be repaid at a rate of $60,000 per
year from the funds received 'from the State Fire Programs Fund. The debt
would be repaid over the next six years.
c. $196,000 from the participating localities of City of Roanoke, City of Salem
and Town of Vinton

AGENDA ITEM:
Request from the schools to accept and appropriate grant
funding and reimbursements totaling $84,631.96
APPROVED BY:
Elmer C. Hodge
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Roanoke County Schools requests that the Board accept and appropriate the following
grants and contributions:
1. Roanoke County Schools received a grant from the Allstate Foundation to support a
parent education initiative for the Driver Education program in Roanoke County
Schools. This initiative is a cooperative effort between the Roanoke County Public
Schools, the Roanoke County Police Department, Allstate Insurance and the
Allstate Foundation. The purpose of this program is to develop and ilTlprove safe
driving habits for our teen drivers. The focus of this program will be to:
· Increase parental involvement in the education
of our teen drivers.
· Create awareness of the parent's responsibilities in the
student's driver education and licensing process.
· Create opportunities for better partnerships between teens
and their parents in developing responsible drivers.
· Develop a better understanding of the impact of driver
behavior on the community.
The grant from the Allstate Foundation will support the continuation of the
Partnering for the Privilege Safe Teen Driving program initiated in 2006. This
program will include parent meetings for each of our five high schools with the
potential of reaching over 1200 students and their families. The goal of the Roanoke
County program is to present one parent meeting in each of the five high schools by
December of 2007. The target audience will be parents of teens preparing for or
those in the process of acquiring a driver's license.
The grant award of $1600 received November 20, 2007 will cover the anticipated
expenses.
2. Roanoke County Schools and Virginia Western Community College have an
agreement whereby the college provides college level courses in English, US
History, AP Calculus and certain technical and science subjects. These courses are
taught by Roanoke County teachers who meet the college's criteria for adjunct
professors. Monies that have been collected exceed the expenses; therefore, there
is a request for these additional funds to be appropriated.
Roanoke Cou nty Schools collected $121 , 160.00 tuitron from 1 039 students. VWCC
will reimburse $195,195.12 for services rendered (teachers, administrating
expenses, rooms, utilities, and maintenance). Roanoke County Schools owes
VWCC $260,260.16 for tuition and technology fees and college service fees. The
difference between what was collected and what was spent is $56,094.96.
Roanoke County Schools requests that $56,094.96 be appropriated to the
instructional program.
Budget Code: 0000210-0434
3. The Service Learning Leadership class has been taught at WBHS for six years.
The class combines the development of morally responsible leadership skills with
the creation and implementation of service learning projects. Over the past year,
the projects and service education were partially funded by year one of a three year
Learn and Serve Virginia Grant.
This year, Roanoke County Schools was awarded year-two of the grant titled Wolf
Creek Walk. This grant will continue to provide opportunities for the students in Life
Science (7) at WBM, Technology Education Classes and the Service Learning
Leadership Class at WBH to combine service learning projects with Science and
Technology Standards of Learning. Objectives will continue to impact: development
of leadership skills, improving performance on SOL testing, attendance, grades and
behavior in school.
The amount of the grant award is $26,089.00. There is an in-kind match required
which is allocated in the current budget. It does not require new money to be
expended.
4. Students pay $83 for each Advanced Placement test that they take in May. There
is a fee reduction program offered by College Board in which students who are
identified as economically disadvantaged pay only $53. Even this lower fee is a
2
hefty one for some families. The Virginia Department of Education has stepped in
to cover this base fee as well for those students.
The Commonwealth of Virginia reimburses test fees for our students who are
economically disadvantaged. We have received $848 to reimburse for nine such
tests. We are asking for approval to disperse this money.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Driver Education Program Budget will be increased by $1,600.00, the Instructional
Program Budget will be increased by $56,094.96, the Service Learning Budget will be
increased by $26,089.00, and the Advanced Placement Budget will be increased by
$848.00.

AGENDA ITEM:
Authorization to proceed with legal action and litigation against
Front Street Construction, Inc. a,nd related parties to enforce
proffered conditions contained in the Wolf Creek Planned
Residential Development Ordinance
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Following a lawful closed session, the Board of Supervisors authorized the County Attorney
and the Zoning Administrator to proceed with legal action and litigation against Front Street
Construction, Inc. and related parties to enforce the proffered conditions contained in the
Wolf Creek Planned Residential Development Ordinance.
Ordinance 102495-10 approved the establishment of the County's first planned residential
development (PRD) known as Wolf Creek. The developers proffered and the County
accepted numerous conditions for this PRO, which were amended by Ordinance 081997-
12. Front Street Construction, Inc. is a successor developer for a portion of the Wolf Creek
project known as the Village at Stone Creek. Front Street Construction, Inc. and its
principal owners have failed to construct and install numerous improvements and amenities
as promised in the proffered conditions, despite repeated attempts by County staff to
secure compliance with the proffered conditions.
After exhaustive negotiations with Front Street it is apparent that Front Street will not
comply with the proffered conditions and install and construct the required improvements
and amenities. Accordingly, the Board has authorized the County Attorney and the Zoning
Administrator to take appropriate legal action, including litigation in Circuit Court, to secure
compliance with the proffered conditions.
VOTE:
Supervisor Altizer motion to proceed with legal action against Front Street Construction
to enforce the Planned Residential Development proffered conditions for Wolf Creek
Development
