ATA REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION
CENTER ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2008
RESOLUTION ~ 2~ fi08-5 ADOPTING A LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM FOR
THE 2009 SESSION OF THE VIRGINIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY, AND
PETITIONING THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO FAVORABLY
CONSIDER THE TOPICS AND ISSUES ADDRESSED HEREIN
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia, has identified
major legislative issues of state-wide concern to be considered by the 2009 session of
the Virginia General Assembly; and
WHEREAS, the Board adopts this resolution as its Legislative Program for the
2009 session of the Virginia General Assembly.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke
County, Virginia, that the following legislative initiatives are submitted for its legislative
program for the 2009 session of the Virginia General Assembly for its favorable
consideration and adoption.
1. Roanoke County will consider proposals for the creation of Community
Development Authorities (CDA). Additional sources of local tax revenues could
be instrumental in the success of such authorities. Therefore the Board supports
(a) Amending Sec. 15.2-5158 to increase taxing power withiin established CDAs
to pay the principal and interest of CDA issued revenue bonds for public
infrastructure improvements. This enhanced local taxing power could be applied
to the transient occupancy tax, meals tax, or sales tax generated by activities
within the CDA. (b) Amending Sec. 15.2-5113 to allow members of Industrial
Development Authorities/Economic Development Authorities to serve on CDA.
2. The Board supports continued funding for mental health services under the
Comprehensive Services Act In these difficult economic times the pool of
children eligible for funding for mental health services is expanding. The Board is
concerned that the budget dollars will be insufficient to satisfy the demand for
services. The State pays only a percentage of the cost of mandated services.
State funds will be insufficient and localities will be required to shoulder a
significantly greater share of these costs. The Board opposes changing the
match rates for CSA.
3. The Board supports amending the State Code to authorize the Virginia
Retirement System to manage and invest trust funds for localities for other post
employment benefits (OPEB) as required by GASB #45.
4. Explore Park's future may be a major concern if Virginia Living History does not
exercise the lease option. Funding of the park, reversion of the land to the State,
and other options for the use of the park will need to be determined. HB
11421Chapter 655 extended the term of the reversion of the VRFA to the
Commonwealth in the event it ceases to operate a project until July 2009. The
Board seeks a partnership with the Commonwealth to determine the future of this
valuable resource, if the lease is not exercised.
5. The General Assembly should fully fund its unfunded liabilities in the Virginia
Retirement System and restore VRS to an actuarially sound status.
6. There are proposals to abolish the cash proffer system and replace it with
capped impact fees for roads, schools and public safety facilities only.
A Joint Study Committee will be looking at how to improve the ability of local
government to implement the land use changes embodied in HB3202 X2001}.
This 2-year study is charged with making interim recommendations for the 2009
session. The Board believes the committee's work should be monitored closely
for potential recommendations impacting local land use authority both positive
and negative.
1. Annexation Moratorium. The Board requests the General Assembly extend the
annexation moratorium.
S. Transportation Funding. The Board requests the General Assembly provide
funding for the widening of I-S1, construction of I-l3, and improvements to U.S.
Routes 111460, 220, and 221.
9. The Board opposes reductions in the per diem reimbursement rate paid for
housing State prisoners in local or regional jails. The elimination or reduction of
this reimbursement combined with the failure to transfer State prisoners to State
correctional facilities could result in a loss of over $1.S Million for the Western
Virginia Regional Jail Authority and Roanoke Co~~nty.

AT A REGULAR MEETING GF THE BGARD GF SUPERVISGRS GF RGANGKE
CGUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE RGANGKE CGUNTY ADMINISTRATIGN CENTER
MEETING DATE: December 16, 2008
AGENDA ITEM: Request to approve staffing for the Fire and Rescue
Department for the Clearbrook Station, and appropriation of
$156,000 for current yearf~~nding
SUBMITTED BY: John M. Chambliss, Jr.
County Administrator
APPROVED BY: Jorin M. Chambliss, Jr.
County Administrator
CDUNTYADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
Recommend staffing of the six people at the Clearbrook Station with funding from the
previous AlE monies from the Southview project. Since this is a one-time source of
funding, the annual amount of $334,444 will need to be appropriated from a new source in
the 2049-2414 budget.
SUMMARY ~F INF~RMA'f IAN:
Gn September 23, 2008, the City of Roanoke sent a letter to the County giving notice of
their intent to cancel the Clearbrook agreement effective June 30, 2009. TI^iis notice is in
compliance with the conditions of the Gctober 29, 2441 agreement whereby the City
provided six staff to be assigned to the Clearbrook station. This staff, in addition to the
County staffassigned to the station, allows forthe proper staffing of one ambulance and
one fire truck 2417. Staffing is generally three staff on the fire truck and two staff on the
amb~ilance. Essentially, the city staffing allowed forthe staffing of the ambi~lanceforthe
three 24 hour shifts.
Gn November 11, 2008, Chief Burch held a work session with the Board to discuss the
staffing needs of the Fire and Rescue Department countywide which included requests
from the Volunteer officers as well. His recommendation for the current fiscal year
included a total of ten which was composed of four stafffor the new station at Hershberger
Road and the six at Clearbrook. It is critical that this matter be considered at this time
because the next academy begins in February and we need to notify prospective
candidates so thatthey can give proper notice to theircurrent employers and be prepared
to enterthe Februaryacademy. 'this graduation will coincidewith the opening of the new
station and the removal of the six positions by the City.
The cost of the new staff for five months is approximately $26,000 each. The cost for six
staff to replace the staff being lost at Clearbrook would be $156,000.
During thework session, staffdiscussed the concerns aboutthe responses from theVinton
station, the lack of adequate response from the Read Mountain station, and growing
concerns in several other areas of the County.
I realize the awkwardness of the timing with a budget work session scheduled later today,
the Governor's budget message due tomorrow which will outline his plan to address a
significant revenue shortfall and the impact to our local budgets, and the general condition
of the economy. However, it is necessary for us to determine immediately how we plan to
address the immediate crisis at the Clearbrook station. Without funding for the six new
staff, the Chief will need to re-align staffing from other stations which will cause a
diminishment of services at another spot such as eliminating staffing for ladder trucks
which provide the crew for a second ambulance in the core stations} or altering the
minimum staffing on equipment which either reduces the manpower andlor equipment
which responds to an 'rncident ordelays the abilityto begin action when theyarrive on the
scene because of inadequate staffing. The choices are tough, but must be made now.
While I certainly support many of the other staffing suggestions made by the Chief in his
November presentation, our lack of knowledge today of the impact of the Governor's
budgetchallenges and the pressing needs~from all o~~hersegments ofthe budgetmustbe
considered before investing more in this critical need. In the coming weeks, we may well
have to reduce or eliminate certain services provided by the County and the changes may
have other unpleasant consequences. We are already falling behind significantly in the
goal of answering 80 percent of our rescue calls within six minutes. Failure to fill this
staffing gap at one of our core stations will only exacerbate our problem.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of the six staff for the Clearbrook station would be $156,000 for the balance of the
currentfiscal year, and would be approximately$334,400new moneyannuallybeginning
with the new fiscal year. The $175,000 to be assigned in the next agenda item could be
considered as a funding source for the $156,000 needed here although it is a one-time
source of funding.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Appropriate the $156,000 from the $175,000 previously assigned for the AIE work at
Southview and consider the funding for the next fiscal year during the budget process.
2. Appropriate the $156,000 from the General Fund Unappropriated balance.
3. Do not provide funding which will result in a reallocation of the staffing resources to best
meet the requests for service of the Fire and Rescue Department.

STAFF REC~MMENDAI'I~N:
Staff recommends approval of Alternative 1.
VOTE:
Supervisor Moore motion to approve Alternative 2 (appropriate the $156,000 from the
General Fund Unappropriated balance) and add an amendmentfrom SupervisorAltierthat
the interim County Administrator start negotiations with Botetourt County concerning the
agreement for the Read Mountain Fire Department.

COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEErrING DATE: December 16, 2008
AGENDA ITEM: Request to allocate the $175,000 previously unappropriated
from the Southview Elementary School renovations
SUBMITTED BY: Diane D. Hyatt
Chief Financial Officer
APPROVED BY: John M. Chambliss, Jr.
County Administrator
CGUNTYADMINISTRATGR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY ~F INFGRMA'rI~N:
On December 4, 2007, the Board of Supervisors approved the transfer of up to $175,000
to the County Schools to pay for half of the arcf~~itect and engineering ~A&E} fees to design
the renovations needed at Southview Elementary School. The Schools have now decided
to surplus and sell this building, so the moneyforA&E fees is no longer needed.
On November 11, 2008, the Board approved a resolution allowing the School Board to sell
the Southview Elementary School building. At that time, Supervisor Altizer asked to
unappropriate the $175,000 that had been set aside for the A&E work. Supervisor
McNamara asked that this $175,000 be transferred to the General Fund Unappropriated
Balance.
On December 2, 2008, the Board voted to unappropriate the funds from the Southview
Elementary School renovation, but did not make a decision where to allocate the funds.
The Board asked for the item to be brought back at the next meeting to decide whereto
allocate the funds.
FISCAL IMPACT;
The $175,000 was originally appropriated from the Minor Capital Reserve, but it does not
have to be returned to this account.
ALTERNA'~IVES:
Staff suggests three alternatives as to where to place the $175,000.
1. General Fund Unappropriated Balance
2. IVlinor Capital Reserve
3. Another use requested by the Board, keeping in mind that this is anon-rec~~irring source
of funds
STAFF REC~MMENDAI'IaN:
Staff recommends depositing the funds into the General Fund Unappropriated Balance.
Currently, we are under the maximum goal amount for the year, as set by the Board, and it
will be very difficult to reach the minimum goal amount in fiscal year 2009-2010.
