NICKENS VINTON MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT 1988 was a very good year, one to be remembered from the perspectives of both history and progress. A, very successful Roanoke County celebration has just ended. Under the leadership of a sterling Sesquicentennial committee we commemorated the 150th anniversary of our County's founding. From March through December, from an opening gala to the ceremonial burying of a time capsule, citizens participated in a myriad of special events to honor the occasion....A Beautiful Beginning. History will record that Roanoke County stood tall at the end of its first century and a half. On June 30, 1986, the undesignated fund balance for Roanoke at this time, we County stood at $1,585,000. One year ago, rown to $2,064,000. stated that the fund balance on June 30 had g I am very pleased to report today, as of June 30, 1988, the undesignated fund balance reached $3,03'7,000. A jump from 3.2 P.O. BOX 29800 ROANOKE. VIRGINIA 24018-0798 (703) 772-2004 . 2 percent in 1987 to 5.3 percent in 1988. Our objective is to maintain a minimum of 3 to 5 percent of the general fund as fund balance. One problem converging on 1988 was, and to some extent still is, the cleanup of the defunct Dixie Caverns landfill, a problem that has existed since the closing of the dump site in the '70s. So f ar $879,000 has gone into this project, with an additional $295,000 budgeted but not yet spent, to complete the task. We hope this will close the book on the Dixie Caverns situation. The need to site a new Regional Landfill occupied the members of this board in 1988. Later in the year the County assumed the leadership role in locating a new landfill site. We are moving expeditiously toward that end, determined to hold any negative impact to a minimum in the face of changing landfill regulations. We fully expect closure on the siting and preliminary permitting process early this year. For many years our citizens have been told that Roanoke County vitally needs a water supply, free from contamination and free from the threat of inadequacy. That need has not lessened. The Spring Hollow Reservoir, spawned from that need, has been delayed far too long. The City of Roanoke has backed away from its earlier commitment to join this regional project. The City of Salem is still considering participating. But Roanoke County has expressed its determination to move ahead with the reservoir. 3 ut to proceed, for ample water is one of the We have no choice b The elements in the economic development of our countY~1985. key olls, in decision was made, and ratified at the p r construction plans are in the making at this very Prelimina y moment. 1989 may augur well for this project. news that Mountain View Elementary School has been The again ' nall recognized for its excellence in education, poke nano Y to the exceptional quality of instruction in Roa attests this chools.

My fellow supervisors, seated on this stage are caring, capable and educated public servants, any one of whom would accept this formidable task without hesitation. I believe any one of them would serve with distinction. However, I will ask only two elected officials to serve, Bob Johnson...who will lead the team effort....and Dr. Harry Nickens, both excellent negotiators. Soon I will announce an additional member, or members to the committee. Without delay I will seek a private sector female to represent the interests of Roanoke County women on the committee. A constituency of this magnitude should not be disenfranchised in matters of such urgency. Roanoke County has been around for 150 years. It is a growing, thriving, predominantly urbanized county that continues to plan for the future. Those plans do not provide for standing still. The business of government goes on. We must be undaunted by what may happen, and be guided by what is happening. Today is a Beautiful Beginning!
