The Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia,
recommends the following issues for consideration for the Virginia
General Assembly during its 1991 legislative session.
ONE TAB BILL FOR COIINTY AND TOWN TARES
This legislation would authorize the joint collection of taxes
by a County and a town. A single tax bill could reflect both
county and town real estate and personal property taxes, thereby
reducing costs and improving efficiency. It has been suggested
that this be a joint submission by the Town of Vinton and the
County.
LOT___ TERM
This legislation would amend Section 58.1-4022 to provide that
enerated by the sale of lottery tickets
a portion of the revenue g
would be returned to the locality of sale. The Board adopted a
resolution in support of this action on September 12, 1990.
STORMWATER OTILITY FEES
This legislation would authorize local governments to assess
user charges to recover the costs of administering the construc-
tion, operation and maintenance of a stormwater management program.
These charges would be assessed upon all property owners based upon
their contributions to stormwater runoff.
INDIISTRIAL ACCESS ROAD FUNDING
This action would request the General Assembly to direct the
Virginia Department of Transportation to extend the time for
securing a qualifying industry for industrial access road funding.
The justification for this request is the current economic
condition in the Commonwealth.
HIIMAN SERVICES NEEDS
This request seeks State funding to reach the funding goal of
80/20 reimbursement for administrative costs, and to fund all
positions needed as shown by caseload standards.
This request seeks block grant funding for residential care
for adolescents (the formula should include COLA, inflation factors
This would include a
and programs to insure statewide parity).
legislative mandate for the Department of Mental Health/Mental
Retardation and Substance Abuse to provide services for children.
On a local level there is a critical need for an adolescent
in-patient unit at Catawba Hospital and for a public adolescent
substance abuse detoxification unit and a public adolescent
residential substance abuse program. There are also specific
public health care needs for adolescents.
ANIMAL CONTROL
Amend Section 3.1-796.86 to require a current rabies certifi-
cate of vaccination as a prerequisite for securing a license.
2
COLLECTIONS
Amend Section 64.1-157 to assign the same priority to the
payment of debts of the estate of a decedent for local taxes as
provided debts and taxes due the Commonwealth (priority #6).
CAPITAL FIINDING
Request funding for the construction of the Regional Forensic
Science Laboratory.
ZONING
Restrict the power of the judiciary to revise or overrule a
decision of a local governing body in a land use matter except in
the case of fraud or direct violation of law.
BINGO/RAFFLES
Authorize the local governing body to impose up to a ten
percent (10$) tax on the gross receipts of all bingo games and
raffles.
