Box 29800 Roanoke, Virginia 24018 Dear Elmer: Following my last correspondence with you concerning the desire of the I-81 Corridor Council. to expand its membership, I would like to update you on the Council`s current efforts. We will be submitting an application to the U.S. Economic Development Administration for techc~ical assistance funds to begin our initial work on the I-81 corridor project. This research will entail: (1) an assessment of the current economic condition of the Corridor region; (2) an assessment of recent development trends; (3) identification of innovative development trends and techniques for managing development of highway interchanges; (4) development of an I-81 interchange classification system; (5) a detailed examination of one interchange in each planning district; and (6) a community participation element to include local community leaders and public meetings. We will be requesting $25,000 from EDA to be matched with $8,000 from the Planning District Commissions in western Virginia to pursue this initial work effort. Over the last few weeks, we have received several letters of support and interest from state and local officials, as well as private sector organizations. If the development of a long-range plan for western Virginia is to come to fruition, it is imperative that local governments in the I-81 cororudo IIoa dlor support this planning effort. An endorsement by y Council of the concept of a strategic development plan for western Virginia would be invaluable. To this end, I would like to offer to address your governing body and provide them an overview of the purpose and focus of this proposal. I would be glad to meet with your elected officials at either a work session or a formal meeting to review the corridor project. 1Paseocontact like for me to visit with your Board or Council, p me at your convenience.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY' The purpose of these amendments of the Meals Tax Ordinance is to increase the potential penalties for failure to file or pay meals tax collections in order to improve collection of certain delinquent accounts. BACKGROUND• When the Meals Tax Ordinance was originally adopted in 1988, it was hoped that the threat of a Class 3 ent of meals otax cola sufficient deterrent to insure prompt paym lections by sellers of taxable food and beverages. Since that time there have r bs a Of f ice r has 1 been cnecessary to acollect meal tax Commissione revenues in excess of $1,000.00. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: These amendments have been drafted at the request of the Commonwealth's Attorneys Office in order to provide more teeth in the Meals Tax Ordinance for collection of delinquent tax proceeds. In cases where the taxes owed to the Treasurer exceed $1,000.00, the potential threat of a maximum $500.00 fine allowed for a Class 3 Misdemeanor has not been sufficient to insure prompt remittance by the seller of these tax proceeds being held. FISCAL IMPACTS: There exists at least two different fiscal impacts . The first impact is the potential for increased fines from successful criminal prosecution of these offenses. The second impact is the potential for prompt compliance with the payment provisions of the ordinance arising from the deterrent effect of increased criminal penalties. ALTERNATIVES' 1. Adopt the proposed amendments. 2. Retain tollecti ns to the treaslrer at aafine ofrnotf more to pay meals tax c than $500.00. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recomends the adoption of these amendments.

Several steps were taken to respond to this priority. A Customer Service Resource Committee was formed to promote sound customer service practices among all Roanoke County employees and to provide advice and guidance for the development, implementation and evaluation of a Customer Service Training Program. A training coordinator was employed on a part- time basis to develop and teach the program. The committee reviewed and considered alternate approaches to provide training for the County staff and chose, as a first step, to develop and conduct an in-house customer service training program. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION The training sessions were held during August. Approximately 70~ or 450 employees have attended the sessions. The overall evaluation of the training by those attending was 3.7 out of a possible 5.0. Training Session The sessions included the following o A training manual o two videotapes: "Ripples" which emphasizes how your attitude affects others, and "Listen to Hear" which featured County employees discussing listening skills and dealing with citizen complaints. o An opportunity for each employee to describe the operation of his or her department and how the department provides services to the public. ~,, .~ L1 o Role playing of specific situations that county employees face in dealing with citizens. Results Progress on this program has been excellent and comments on the training have been very favorable. However, the training sessions were just the first step. One the major problems identified by those attending the sessions was the lack of knowledge by employees about what other departments do and what services they provide. Because county staff is located in various buildings throughout Roanoke County, citizens become frustrated trying to locate the proper building and staff to conduct business and employees don't have enough information to assist them. The Customer Service Resource Committee will continue to meet in the future. They have held one meeting since the sessions were completed and reviewed suggestions from employees for future improved customer service. These include: o A better awareness by the employees of the responsibilities of different departments throughout Roanoke County. o A telephone directory cross referenced by subject so that employees may assist citizens in finding the appropriate department to solve their problems. (This will be included in the next County Internal Telephone Directory scheduled for publication this fall) o A handbook for newcomers and other citizens outlining available services and who to contact. o a map identifying the location of county buildings and what services are available at these buildings. Future Plans The Customer Service Resource Committee plans to continue stressing customer service through the following activities: o Seek solutions to the problems identified by the employees and the suggestions outlined above. o Provide followup sessions for new employees and those who were unable to attend the first session. o Evaluate improved approaches for receiving and following up on citizen inquiries, requests and complaints. ~~ c~3-t- Elmer C.

Since that time County staff has been reviewing the report and analyzing the statistics. Several significant errors have been found and these errors change perce~itages, per capita costs, and conclusions noted in the text. It is anticipated that staff will not complete the analysis until the middle of next week. Following completion of the review, I will schedule a press conference to provide the media with the results of the analysis.

Box 19219 Roanoke, Virginia 24019 September 11, 1990 Dear Dr. Wilson: As you are aware, the Roanoke County Education Association continues to have grave concerns about the memorandum distributed by Paul Mahoney to all Roanoke County employees on the topic of consolidation . Though the Roanoke County Board or Supervisors nor the Roanoke County School Board has taken official action regarding the memorandum, the distribution of and wording of the memorandum has led employees to draw the conclusion that it is indeed arr official policy statement; as a result, the memorandum and subsequent discussions have had a chilling affect on the rights of employees to exercise their First Amendment Right to voice opinion on matters of public concern (i.e. consolidation). Though the RCEA agrees with the premise that employees' opinion--either for or against consolidation--should not be a disruption to the workplace or an hindrance to the working relationships within the building, we believe that a clarification is in order. We concede that the classroom and hallways of the public buildings should remain "neutral ground , " but we maintain that employees have the right afforded to them by the Constitution to speak to fellow staff members and the public on matters of public concern before and after work hours and during meals and breaks provided that such discussions are not disruptive. The Roanoke County Education Association at this point remains neutral on the topic of consolidation; however, we cannot remain neutral on your employees rights to an opinion in the workplace and we believe that the restriction presented by the County Attorney is not appropriate to your employees . We, therefore, seek from you an affirmative statement regarding the right of school employees and confirmation that the bulletin boards in faculty areas may be used to post materials relevant to matters of public concerns and that information may be distributed at public functions, such as football games, by employees and students .

NICKENS VINTON MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT Members, Board of Supervisors Elmer Hodge, County Administrator John Cease, Police Chief , -- / ~ ,67,~,~, Steven A. McGraw September 12, 1990 I would like to relate to all of you a very positive experience that I had this past weekend beginning at 8:00 p.m. Friday night and continuing through to 7:00 a.m. Saturday morning when I rode and worked with various members of the Roanoke County Police Department. Those that I came in contact with included Sgt. Chuck Mason who formerly worked in "vice". He prefers the "power shift", which is an overlap by a fifth platoon, "E" Platoon, to help in times of the greatest need during the week. I also worked with Miguel Villarini who has four years experience on the force and is one of the nine- member "swat" team. He has three teenage children. Officer Villarini is a Viet Nam veteran who saw action in Southeast Asia during three different tours of duty in the early 70's. At that time, he was in the Air Force and is now a Marine Reservist anticipating being called to go to Saudia Arabia in the, near future. The third officer with whom I rode was Wayne Haynes, a seven-year veteran of the County force and a graduate of Radford University in Crimi Ya ~ of to daughtercwho i sn now ten f monthsrolding officer and the fat Other officers with whom I came in contact included Lt. L. B. Wade, Sgt. Lee Linkous, and Officers Mike Warner, Carl Johnson, Tom Kincaid, and Ed Shotwell. At the jail facility, I also talked with Sgt. Lee who is employed within the County Sheriff's Department. P.O. BOX 29800 ROANOKE. VIRGINIA 24018-0798 (703) 772-2004 Page 2 September 12, 1990 The types of situations and encounters that occurred during this eleven hour period of time included two road checks at Route 419 in front of Promenade Park and on Williamson Raad at the Lamplighter Mall entrance. At both of these road check locations, several violations of invalid ~.nspectionrst kersato a more serious license tag decal t DUI arrest were dealt with. Officer Haynes and I spent a total of s severals d fferent dhotel which time he was able to cruise by locations in North County that were suspected of having drug dealings on their premises. He ticketed two different drivers for speeding, one a 62 MPH violation in a 45 MPH zone, and a 58 MPH in a 35 MPH zone. Officer Haynes also was called upon ite obviously lady who was lying in the middle of Woodhaven Road, qu intoxicated, and to bring her to the Roanoke City jail for booking and then return her to the Roanoke County jail. This occurred at 4 a.m. Officer Haynes was unable to take the lady directly to the Roanoke County jail facility because currently there is no magistrate working in that location after 3 a• lifiedl personnelto the difficulty of filling this position with qu Other types of observations included Officer Villarini's alert recognition of youths in a County park after hours, the observation by him of the need to P vent fema le cemployeesffromgbeingdharasseda other such areas to p illegal U-turns on Route 419, and other such encounters. The one fact which was most educational to me was that the officers are constantly on the alert and doing a great deal more than one might readily assume when seeing an officer driving down the road or sitting in a police cruiser in a parking lot. It is quite often the case that at these times the officer is handling six or eight different situations by listening to the various radios or by observing all activities around him or her. The officers also all seem to have a very good sense of humor. This probably takes the edge off the intensity of their required duties. Each has a very different style, even down to how the interior of the cars are arranged or which types of radios, beyond the required minimum, they choose to use. I was extremely impressed with the conduct, professionalism and alertness of all those above mentioned individuals and I am sure that their abilities reflect the great majority of Roanoke County's Police Department. This type of intensive survey of tour earliest is one that I would recommend to all of you at y convenience. SAM/bjh 9-11-90 Suggested modification to Agenda Item D-4 from Lee Eddy pc: Members, Board of Supervisors Elmer Hodge Paul Mahoney ROANOKE COUNTY POLICY STATEMENT ON CONSOLIDATION During the months leading up to the consolidation referendum, County staff will likely be questioned by citizens on that topic. While every employee is entitled to his or her own personal opinion on this subject, the County Board of Supervisors hasL adopted'the following position Est r ~~ -" LiVf which staff personnel may use as guidance in response to questions. The consolidation plan itself is a result of hundreds of hours of work by County and City staff members, including all department heads. The actual details of daily operation have not been included in the plan, because they will be the responsibility of the governing body and administration of the merged government. The consolidation referendum is scheduled for November 6, 1990. The scheduled date for consolidated government to begin operation is July 1, 1993. Roanoke County and Roanoke City are both viable, fiscally sound jurisdictions that provide appropriate services to their citizens. If the merger passes, the st-a€~Count will work diligently to make sure that the transition occurs smoothly for citizens and employees alike. If consolidation does not pass, Roanoke County will continue to serve its residents promptly, courteously and efficiently. A copy of the consolidation plan and pro-forma budget is available in every County library and at the Administration Center. The members of the Board of Supervisors are always willing to discuss this topic with the public. However, it is suggested that County staff, as employees of all the County's citizens, remain officially neutral on this matter. This policy does not prevent staff members from responding to citizen questions with statements of fact. Furthermore. this policy does not prevent an employee from speaking or working for or a ainst consolidation outside the work lace on his or her own time. Any employees with questions about this policy are encouraged to contact County Attorney Paul Mahoney at 772-2007. MEMO - 9/10/90 To: Supervisors, Mary Allen From: Lee B.

JOHNSON HOLLINS MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT HARRY C. NICKENS VINTON MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT September 12, 1990 Mr. Chairman and Members of the Board: In August, the Roanoke Valley Business Council held a press conference to release the results of a study conducted by SDN Market Research on the economic impact of the proposed consolidation of Roanoke County and Roanoke City. The Board requested that staff review the study for accuracy and completeness because the reported savings appeared to be excessive. Staff has completed the review and found that there are numerous errors, incorrect conclusions, and projected savings that are unsupported. Staff did not analyze the report from a position for or against consolidation. They concentrated entirely on the accuracy and completeness of the data. They did not use supplemental reports or information generated for the County to review the findings. They simply verified the accuracy of the information drawn from the sources referred to by SDN by comparing this data to the original documents and checking the computations. Staff found many data extraction errors in the historical information which lead to calculation errors and inaccurately drawn conclusions. These types of errors total more than 140 through page 30. There may be additional errors that we were unable to discern because of the unavailability of source materials. The errors appear to be randomly distributed between the City and County. These mistakes are in addition to the error admitted to by Mr. Marshall that will significantly change the projected savings reported previously. One example of an extraction error, can be found on Attachment A. SDN reported that per capita expenditures for all local government functions except education in the City of Roanoke expanded by a multiple of 4.2 between 1981 and 1988. When the correct information was substituted for the incorrect information for 1981, the result was an expansion of expenditures by a multiple of 1.375. Therefore, the increase in all expenditure categories for Roanoke City between 1981 and 1988 is not 153.3% but rather 51.2%. The total increase for Roanoke County during this time period was 35%. P.O. BOX 29800 ROANOKE. VIRGINIA 24018-0798 (703) 772-2004 Another example, can be found on Attachment B. Revenues from other property taxes for 1981 were improperly recorded as $11,991,000 for Roanoke County, producing a net increase of only 1% between 1981 and 1988. When in fact, the correct amount of revenue generated from other property taxes in 1981 was $7,991,000 producing instead a net increase of 51.6%. Other examples of errors can be found on the remaining attachments included with this letter. The historical data from 1981 to 1988 presumably was used by SDN to develop the revenue and expenditure projections for 1993 through 2002. Therefore, any errors recorded in the historical information must be corrected in the projection analysis to make any conclusions valid. In addition to the factual errors, the SDN report ignores the start-up costs projected for RMG. Both the City and County staffs reviewed service delivery, service enhancements, citizen needs and system capabilities to develop the pro-forma budget for RMG. These conclusions were not used by SDN consultants. Neither were the $5 million in annual revenue enhancements included. The SDN report compared Roanoke City and County to other localities that have merged, including Lexington, Kentucky; Nashville, Tennessee; and Jacksonville, Florida. As you will note these are major metropolitan areas outside of Virginia where taxing authorities and other laws are different from those in our Commonwealth. Staff would recommend that comparisons be made instead with Virginia localities that have merged such as Virginia Beach and Chesapeake. The staffs greatest concern is that SDN used assumptions in projecting future growth and savings under a consolidated government that do not appear to be supported in the report. For example, the report does not provide the basis for the use of a 50% lower rate of growth for expenditures under RMG. Neither is there support for the assumed growth rate in population used in SDN's per capita calculations. SDN assumed an 11% rate of growth in a combined City/County population over ten years instead of the rate of growth of 1.4% from 1981 to 1988. In summary, the connections or relationships between the historical data provided in the SDN report and the underlying assumptions in the revenue and expenditure projections are not clearly stated, or at least appear incomplete. Staff is willing to meet with SDN at a mutually agreeable time to discuss any or all of their findings. Sincerely, C.i~~ Elmer C. Hodge County Administrator js MOAN F kF >.

If Prince Edward's proposed legislation has as much chance to pass as a giant kidney stone. we'd like to know why. We want some of our money back and we darn well ought to get it. To do otherwise, to deny our wish-no, our right under the constitu- tior~is not only wrong but it Ls illegal. Every politician who is in Richmond, or tried to get there-from the governor down to members of General Assembly-seems to have said at one time or another, "Gee, we j sure think the localities should get a share of the lottery money." That sounds great during elections. It gets these politicians votes. But when push comes to shove, we get pushed and shoved. It's time for that to stop. It's time for Virginia localities to get what is rightfully theirs. It's time for legislators to do what they say they want to do. Who's stopping them? Give some of the money back, ladies and gentleman. Is 10 percent too much to ask? We'll let you-the servant keep the lionshare of lottery profits. We'll settle for 10 percent of what we spend on lottery tickets. Not a bad deal, eh? Take us up on it then. During the lottery's first year of opera- tion $2 million was spent in Prince Edward on tickets. Two million dollars is more than the real estate tax revenue of every Farmville area county combined. Rural counties, in particular, cannot tolerate this financial drain. "I he state government- having learned from Big Brother in Wash- ington-is good at telling us what to do. Now we've got to go bankrupt upgrading landfills. How can we pay for these mandates. with the state keeping lottery money from us? Oh sure, lottery .funds have been sent here or there for capital projects. but what Virginia localities need is an annual return on lottery proceeds. Not anevery-now-and- then dispersal for state building projects or money to correct a humidity problem in a building at Longwood College. Get serious. How can we pay for new landfill re- quirements and state mandates in education without more money? You keep taking more of our cash to run things in Richmond and seem to forget weWe got local bills to pay. too. Look, we know the state's constitution doesn't mean youWe got to jump whenever you're told to. But. under any reasonable interpretation, it does mean that when the citizens of Virginia make a reasonable re- quest for necessary action'to benefit the common good, you are to listen and you are to pass such legislation. Some elected and appointed state officials may try to pooh-pooh Prince Edward's plan by saying it won't return very much money to the localities and so isn't worth the fight. Good. if the plan won't i return very much money then legislators won't mind voting for the bill and the state , won't miss the .paltry sum. The plan will , return a significant amount of money to localities irr dire need of additional revenue. If the money doesn't mean much in Rich- mond. send it back here where it obviously means more. By our reckoning. the PE plan would mean a great deal to our friends and neighbors across the state. Prince Edward would have received nearly $200.000 last year under its proposed bill. That'll buy more than a cup of coffee in these parts. Mr. Government official. We look forward to leadership from Senator Howard P. Anderson and Delegates Watkins M. Abbitt Jr. and Ted Bennett. who will no doubt point the way for state elected or appointed officials who can't see beyond their plush offices and daily. stipends. With the House of Delegates elections coming up in the fall of 1991. support of Prince Ed- ward's plan-or lack of it will be a major issue in arty campaigns. Look, all we're asking for is servant's vvagesr-lO little pennies out of every dollar. We're being agreeable about the whole ', thing. We are. after all. the master in this people-legislator relationship. But are we asking for master's wages? No, we are not. We aren't even asking for partner's 50-50 split. After expenses such as prizes and adminstrative costs. the state will still keep more than twice our share. We, the masters. are humbling our- selves and asking for a little bit of what's ours.
