Clayton Goodman, III County Administrator COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: Roanoke County entered into a Performance Agreement with Integrity Windows on May 23, 2003, which provided for an economic development grant and certain other considerations to the Company based upon measurable performance goals. Due to national economic conditions beyond their control, particularly in the residential construction market, the County modified the Agreement on February 24, 2009 to reduce the local penalty for job creation from $1,000 to $500 for each full time position below the original employment goal. Since that time, new legislation has been adopted by the Virginia General Assembly, which allows for the extension of performance timelines for Governor’s Opportunity Fund (GOF) grants. This new legislation will go into effect on July 1, 2009. While Integrity has met the performance goals outlined in their Phase I GOF grant, they have not satisfied the employment goals for their Phase II grant. As a result, Integrity is requesting an extension of their Phase II GOF grant to December 31, 2011 to allow them more time to reach their employment goals. Staff has consulted with Roanoke County Economic Development Authority and the Virginia Economic Development Partnership and all parties are in agreement with this request. Page 1 of 2 FISCAL IMPACT: This modification applies only to state grant funds, and therefore has no local fiscal impact. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends authorizing the County Administrator to execute the Modification Agreement between the County of Roanoke, the Roanoke County Economic Development Authority and Integrity Windows. VOTE: Supervisor Altizer moved to approve the staff recommendation.

It also continues the agreement with Mr. James previously approved. Finally, it appropriates funds for this agreement from the Unappropriated Balance. FISCAL IMPACTS The County will pay Eldon James & Associates, Inc. for the services of the Special Assistant $22,560 annually (240 hours at the rate of $94 per hour) which is an increase of $4 per hour for these services (due to the dramatic increase in fuel costs).

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board (i) reappoint Eldon James & Associates, Inc. as Special Assistant for Legislative Relations, and (ii) appropriate $24,000 from the Board’s FY 2009-2010 Unappropriated Balance for these purposes.
