Clayton Goodman,111 County Administrator SUMMARYGF INFGRMATIGN: 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 mon~~ment. A competition was held for the design of the new monument. A design by Larry Bechtel, John Kirtley, Jr., and Mary Babcockwas chosen and photos of the model areattached 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. Matching a contribution from the Town of Vinton, Roanoke County made a previous contribution in fiscal year 2007-2008 of $30,000. 'rhe Board has indicated their desire to share in the cost of the monument and to match the Town of Vinton's additional contribution forfiscal year 2008-2009 up to $20,000. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds in the amount of up to $20,000 are available in the fiscal year 2008-2009 Board Contingency Fund. STAFF REC~MMENDATI~N: Staff recommends appropriating up to $20,000 from the fiscal year 2008-2009 Board Contingency Fund to the Town of Vinton as the County's additional contribution towards the construction of the new veterans' monument at the Vinton War Memorial. vo~rE: Supervisor Altizer moved to approve the staff recommendation.
