COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
IN ROANOKE, VA ON TUESDAY,
MEETING DATE: October 8, 1991
AGENDA ITEM: Public-Private Partnership request by Magnetic
Bearings, Inc. (MBI)
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR' S COMMENTS : `~/ " ~r~ ~./~_ f~~~-r~
EXECUTIVE SITl~II~IARY
MBI is relocating their company from Radford to a site in
Valleypointe. They are requesting Roanoke County to provide
public-private partnership funds to offset water and sewer
connection fees.
BACKGROUND:
MBI will occupy a 17,000 square foot engineering research and
manufacturing building on 3.81 acres. The building and-real estate
and machinery and tools are valued at $2,000,000. Thirty-seven
employees will be employed at this. new facility.
FISCAL IMPACT'
Water and sewer connection fees total $17,030. The new investment
in real estate (land and building) and machinery and tools would
generate $21,370 in new taxes. Pay back for the County would be
less than on year ( $21, 370 ) x one year for the $17, 030 of water and
sewer fees funded. Funds in the amount of $100,000 are available
in the Economic Development Fund for public-private partnerships.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Roanoke County fund water and sewer
connection fees in the amount of $17,030 as a public-private
partnership.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: October 8, 1991
AGENDA ITEM: DISCUSSION OF PROPOSALS FOR THE 1992 GENERAL
ASSEMBLY
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY'
This agenda item seeks Board discussion and decision
concerning the various suggested topics for the Roanoke County's
1992 legislative program. Once the Board has considered these
items, the County Attorney will prepare a formal resolution for
adoption at the Board's next meeting.
As reported to you on March 12, 1991, during the 1991 General
Assembly Session the County was unsuccessful in securing
legislation to extend the time for securing a qualifying industry
for industrial access road funding, in securing funding for
construction of the Regional Forensics Laboratory, and in securing
changes in state funding for human services needs. The County
supported legislation to provide equal taxing authority to
counties; however, this legislation was defeated. Finally, the
County sought legislation adding Roanoke County to the list of
eight (8) localities authorizing the circuit court clerk to require
tax map reference numbers or parcel identification numbers for
every deed recorded.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The following is a list of legislative initiatives submitted
to me since the last legislative session. These legislative
initiatives are submitted to the Board for its consideration and
discussion.
1. Increase the transient occupancy tax and dedicate the
proceeds from this increase to promote tourism. Roanoke County's
transient occupancy tax is 2~, Roanoke City and the City of Salem
each tax at 4~. In 1990, the transient occupancy tax generated
approximately $210,000; therefore, a 1~ increase in the tax could
generate $105,000 in new revenue. To secure the support of the
1
"""' ..
business community for this tax increase it may be necessary to
legislatively designate the increase in revenue to promoting
tourism, or funding the Convention and Visitor's Bureau or perhaps
to fund Explore or the renovation of the Hotel Roanoke. This
proposal would require an amendment to the Roanoke County Charter.
2. Amend general law to authorize counties to impose a tax
on tobacco products. The finance department estimates that a
tobacco tax could generate $225,000 for the County annually. This
proposal could also be authorized by an amendment to the Roanoke
County Charter.
3. Secure a more permanent and stable basis for police
department funding. Seek a statutory amendment for permanent
police department funding (instead of a biennial appropriation).
This amendment could be based upon Roanoke County's status as a
chartered county and the results of the citizen referendum. H.B.
599 funding should be at least equal to funding as provided by the
State Compensation Board.
4. The School Board is requesting an amendment to the
Roanoke County charter to authorize the County to establish an
earlier date for the opening of school, thereby relieving Roanoke
County of the post-Labor Day opening requirement. Dr. Wilson has
discussed this with Mr. Cranwell and Mr. Cranwell suggests an
amendment to the County charter to accomplish this purpose.
5. In July the Board was requested to support a beverage
container deposit bill introduced last year by Senator Gartland
(The Virginia Beverage Container Recycling Act).
6. Accomack County requested the Board to support an
amendment to general law authorizing the participation of members
of boards of supervisors in the Virginia Retirement System.
7. Elizabeth Stokes has requested the County to seek an
amendment to general law authorizing Roanoke County to require the
tax map parcel number to be included on all deeds filed with the
Circuit Court.
8. A citizen has requested Mr. Robers to seek an amendment
to §56-414 of the State Code to allow the County to regulate the
sounding of a train bell, whistle or horn at highway crossings.
9. The Employee Advisory Committee requests the Board to
support an amendment to the Virginia Retirement System to allow
pre-1981 employees to withdraw employee contributions.
10. The VACO/VML joint annexation task force is studying
proposed legislation. This legislation is not yet final; however,
the County Attorney's office will continue to monitor these
developments and seek Board guidance for County action as these
2
1
~~
proposals and seek Board guidance for County action as they become
more concrete.
11. The 1992 session of the Virginia General Assembly could
address a reallocation of state funding for education in order to
achieve school funding equity. Based upon some of the proposals,
Roanoke County could be a "loser" in the funding equity battles.
Renewed calls for a teacher salary mandate could have a significant
impact upon your local budget. The County Attorney's office will
monitor these developments and seek Board guidance for County
action as these proposals become more concrete.
12. On May 14, 1991, the Board adopted a Resolution urging
the repeal of the Dillon Rule.
The General Assembly has authorized the creation of twenty
(20) Urban Enterprise Zones (Sec. 59.1-270, et sect.). The Director
of Economic Development requests that the creation of an additional
urban enterprise zone (for Roanoke County and perhaps jointly with
Vinton or Botetourt County) should be included in the County's
legislative program.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board discuss and consider the above
legislative proposals. Once the Board has finally determined its
1992 program, the County Attorney will prepare an appropriate
resolution for Board adoption and for submission to the local
legislative delegation. If the Board desires to amend the Roanoke
County Charter, Section 15.1-835 provides that a public hearing be
held with respect to the amendments following a ten (10) day public
notice publication of the time and place of the public hearing and
the text or an informative summary of the charter amendments.

RE: 301 Gilmer Associates
Gentlemen:
This letter is written to advise that our firm has been
retained by 301 Gilmer Associates in the matter of the rezoning
request which was denied by the Board of Supervisors at its meeting
on August 27, 1991.
We would respectfully request that the Board vote to
reconsider this matter in an effort to enable the property owners
to negotiate a set of proffers with the County's staff which would
be acceptable to the Board of Supervisors. In conversations with
representatives of the County's staff, I believe that this can be
accomplished provided that one of the conditions is not that the
building will never be torn down. Such a proffered condition would
be unacceptable to the developer, and I think would not be
appropriate under any circumstance.
I;. any event, we :r~uld r~sL ~~*f~.:.lJ_y request that the Board of
Supervisors vote to reconsider this matter, and that it be set for
the October 22, 1991 Board of Supervisors Meeting. If the Board
does vote to reconsider, we will meet with the staff prior to that
time in an effort to come up with an agreed upon set of proffers.
Very truly yours,

ITEM NUMBER:- /
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF
ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY
ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: October 8, 1991
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance to regulate the use and. operation of security
and firm alarm systems.
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
BACKGROUND:
The Public Safety Agencies of Roanoke County respond to a large number of
mechanical/electrical alarms annually. A disproportionately high number of these alarms are
false; resulting from human error, poor maintenance or inferior product quality. Nearly
every response requires vehicular operations under emergency conditions exposing public
safety employees and others on the highway to a higher traffic safety risk. Public safety
employees are historically lulled into a false sense of security when repeatedly conditioned
to responding to alarms that are false and situations that pose no safety threat.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
At present, nearly 100 alarms terminate in the Public Safety Center which results in a
substantial drain on communication resources. One person, representing 25 to 30% of the
on-duty work force must devote their time to monitoring, receiving, dispatching and resetting
alarms. Further, alarm monitoring is a free service selectively provided to only those persons
or firms that choose to install and terminate an alarm in the Public Safety Center.
Alarm monitoring is a form of competition with the private sector. Considering the County's
current interest in privatization the restriction of this service, which is also provide by private
vendors, seems to be in the best interest of everyone involved.
Public safety response to the large number of false alarms is typically made under emergency
conditions with multiple police or fire units responding. Increased exposure to liability arises
when both employees and the public traveler is exposed to quick response public safety
vehicles. Perhaps, even worse is problem of employees being incorrectly conditioned to
meet a threat that, based on experience, is usually found to be "false". A study made of
alarms received and responded to reveals a disproportionately high number of false alarms
occur in Roanoke County (see attachment).
~ -/
In most instances false alarms happen due to employee error, faulty installation, poor
maintenance or inferior product quality. There is little or no private sector incentive, other
than personal motivation, to insure employee training/discipline, correct faulty installation,
provide quality maintenance or install high quality equipment matched to site requirements.
In short, the public safety employee will continue to respond regardless of the number of
false alarms transmitted. Alarm service monitoring is not made available to every tax paying
person or firm. If alarms are being transmitted unregulated over phone lines terminating
in the Public Safety Communications Center, false alarms may clog hose lines preventing
reception of true emergency calls for assistance.
A survey shows that most major municipalities and urban Counties in Virginia have
ordinances that address both the termination of alarms in public safety facilities and the
transmittal of false alarms to public safety responders. These ordinances typically control
alarm termination in police/fire communications and provide for a graduated penalty in the
instance multiple false alarms are received.
The Public Safety Team was diligent in its review, debate and drafting of the proposed
ordinance.
A decision reached on this draft represents the unanimous opinion of the Public Safety
Team.
Passage of this ordinance should result in a safer highway/community environment and the
desired effect that an alarm should have on public safety employees -the chances are such
that they will be encountering a true emergency situation.
ALTERNATIVES AND IMPACTS:
Failure to regulate alarm quality and termination control will result in continued higher
liability exposure to the public and employees. Growth in the number of alarms terminated
in the public safety building results more competition with the private sector and increased
drains on County resources for a selected number of residents. The negative impact of
continuously responding to false alarms is detrimental to the public safety mission and its
associated training.
The ordinance is designed to encourage compliance. Recent records reviews would show
several thousands of dollars in potential charges and fines. It is anticipated that this amount
would decrease dramatically in the first year based upon other communities and their
experience with similar legislation.
C~ ~-/
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is the unanimous recommendation of the Public Safety Team that the ordinance be passed
as presented.

MRS. BETTY M. LUCAS
DIRECTOR
We have recently learned that the Virginia Department of Social Services is
proposing amendments to the Child Abuse and Neglect Law which would exclude local
school personnel from being investigated by Social Services agencies for
allegations of child abuse and neglect. Rather, school officials would
investigate their own staff in these matters.
The attached resolution presents the concerns of our Board and staff regarding
the recommended changes. We hope you will join us in expressing opposition to
the proposed amendments to the Code so that children in all situations involving
a caretaker will have the benefit of full child protective services.

ROANOKE COUNTY ~ .~
BOARD OF SOCIAL SERVICES
WHEREAS, the Virginia Department of Social Services is proposing legislation to
amend Section 63.1-248.2 and 63.1-248.6 of the State Code of Virginia related to child abuse
and neglect by excluding employees of local school boards as persons responsible for
children's care; and
WHEREAS, this proposal would eliminate local Social Service agencies from
investigating alleged abuse and neglect by school personnel; and
WHEREAS, local school officials would investigate their own employees for allegations
of child neglect and abuse; and
WHEREAS, such proposed changes in the Code would lead to fragmentation of child
protective services and limit interventions on behalf of children; and
WHEREAS, these recommended changes would cause an erosion of the law designed
to protect children from abuse and neglect from those who care for them; and
WHEREAS, legislation which authorizes school officials to investigate their personnel
gives the impression to the public of complaints being evaluated which lack impartiality and
objectivity; and
WHEREAS, such proposed Code amendments, by singling out one group of employees
for internal investigation, would lead to other public and private facilities requesting similar
legislative exemptions.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Roanoke County Department of
Social Services voices its strong opposition to the proposed amendments to the child abuse
and neglect law; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be sent to advise
appropriate local officials, State Board of Social Services, Commissioner of Social Services,
and General Assembly members of the far-reaching implications and dangerous precedent
it sets.

BACKGROUND•
The Board of Supervisors has asked the staff to return to the Board
with a recommendation for or against monthly utility billing.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
In keeping with the County's new approach to team management, the
staff has selected a team to work on the Utility Billing Project.
This team is composed of individuals from Finance, Utility Billing
and Management Information Services. We will be meeting over the
next month to discuss options of implementing monthly billing,
researching what other localities are doing and trying to determine
the most cost efficient way of providing this service. We would
like to return to the Board at its November meeting with a work
session outlining the pros and cons of monthly billing. If you
have any comments which you would like addressed by the team,
please direct them to my attention in the next few weeks.

COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANORE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: October 8, 1991
AGENDA ITEM: Report on a request from Mecklenburg County to
oppose certain requirements of the Department of
Waste Management
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The County has received a request from Mecklenburg County to
support their efforts to seek legislation to (1) eliminate the
requirement by the Department of Waste Management (DWM) to charge
fees for the review of permits for waste management facilities and
(2) amend the Waste Management Regulations to permit closure under
the old regulations of landfills opened between December 18, 1988,
and January 1, 1994. The staff believes that both requirements are
beneficial to the approval process for new facilities and the
protection of the environment against poorly-operated existing
facilities.
Roanoke County has taken the necessary action to comply with
all requirements for new and existing facilities. The County would
have benefited from a permit fee structure that provided adequate
staff to process the Smith Gap application.
Staff feels that these are statewide issues that affect all
localities and should be addressed in a unified effort through VACO
and VML.

The Hon. Elmer C. Hodge
County Administrator
Roanoke County
P. 0. Box 3800
Roanoke, VA 24015
Dear Mr. Hodge:
Sd~ 1804) 739-6191
(8041 738-6192
The Commonwealth cf Virginia, Department of ;Taste Management has levied
some very heavy and totally unfunded mandates on all counties, cities and
towns to comply with regulations on Sanitary Landfills.
Our Board of Supervisors believes that two (2) of these requirements
are unnecessary. If you agree and we work together, we can be successful
in changing the governing statute with the result that each of our governing
bodies can save some very heavy dollars and still protect the environment.
That first requirement deals with Permit Application Fees which DWM
estimates will cost between $29,000 and $36,000 at time of initial permitting
and thereafter every five years un_on the occasion of permit renewal. The
DWM justification for this fee is that they need to spend between 1385 and
1610 m~rr-hours to review the permit application prior to approval and the
funds generated by the fee schedule will permit the Department to employ
enough engineers and geologists to perform the task. The regulations necessitate
each of our governing bodies to employ, at great expense, certified engineers
and eeologists, to design and build landfill cells to.DW?rt specifications.
It is ridiculous to think that it takes DWM engineers up to 1610 hours to
review the work of these certified, professional engineers, and make us pay
for it, when other remedies are available. Each engineering firm carries
malpractice insurance and if they fail to perform as required, both DWM and
the local governing body have legal remedies available. The first
resolution attached requests the General Assembly to exempt counties, cities,
and towns from permit application fees. This position will very likely be
supported by VACO in their proposed Legislative package for the 1991 session
of the General Assembly.
The second issue requires each county, city, and town to close Sanitary
Landfill Cells, opened between December 18, 1988 and January 1, 1994, under
the new regulations. Most engineering firms estimate that to cost about
$75,000 per acre. 41e all want to protect the environment and agree that
the double liner conceor will protect the groundwater from contamination.
However, the requirement to place an impervious cap on unlined cells defies
logic.
August 12, 1991
Page 2
~-5
Leachate flows downward, not upward. If the groundwater in those cells is
contaminated by leachate, we are already required to correct that problem
and to do so immediately. So the required impervious cap accomplishes nothing
except huge sums of money. Our engineers estimate that the closing of 8 acres
at the Mecklenburg County Landfill will cost $500,000.00. For many of you
the cost will be in the millions of dollars. The second resolution attached
urges the General Assembly to amend the Waste Management Regulations to permit
closure under the old rules the subject cells opened between December 18, 1988
and January 1, 1994.
For these reasons, we urge you to join with us to seek legislative relief
from the two (2) aforementioned requirements. The time for action is now so
that appropriate Bills will be introduced in both houses of the Legislature and
passed early in 1992. We hope that your governing body will join with us to
change these two regulations to our mutual benefit.
Sincerely yours,
f~

At a regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors
County of Mecklenburg on July 8, 1991, the Board, by a
the following resolution:
RESOLUTION
held in and for the
unanimous vote, adopted
WHEREAS, the Commonwealth of Virginia, Department of Waste Management
Regulations VR 672-20-10 requires that all Sanitary Landfill cells opened
under existing permits after December 18, 1988 to be closed under the new
regulations; and
WHEREAS, while the Department of Waste Management's concern relates to
leachate generated in these cells entering and contaminating the environment,
and groundwater in particular; and
WHEREAS, requiring the placement of a two foot cap atop these closed
cells essentially does nothing to protect the environment in that leachate
flows down and not up; and
WHEREAS, the affected cells do not have any protective lining beneath to
collect such leachate and prevent same from entering the environment; and
WHEREAS, the closure procedure is very costly, estimated to cost in or
about $75,000.00 per acre; and
WHEREAS, all Counties, Cities and Towns who currently operate Sanitary
Landfills are subject to these regulations which offer practically no
environmental protection, but are extremely expensive; and
NOW THEREFORE~BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Supervisors of the County
of Mecklenburg, Virginia strongly urges the General Assembly to amend the
Virginia Waste Management Regulations to permit closure under the old rules
those cells opened in landfills operating under existing permits between
December 18, 1988 and January 1, 1994; and
-~
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that all other Counties, Cities and Towns be invited
to submit similar resolutions and that Delegates and Senators representing
all of the Counties, Cities and Towns be asked to co-sponsor bills in the 1992
session of the legislature to effect this change.

At a regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors, held in and for the
County of Mecklenburg on July 8, 1991, the Board, by a unanimous vote, adopted
the following Resolution:
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the Counties, Cities and Towns became aware that the Department
of Waste Management intends to assess Permit Application Fees associated with
treatment, storage and disposal of nonhazardous solid wastes; and
WHEREAS, these Permit Application Fees will not be a one time fee but
will be recurring fees; and
WHEREAS, it was not the intent of the Department of Waste Management to
assess such fees when the new solid waste management regulations were adopted
since a change to the statute was made in the 1990 session of the Virginia
Legislature; and
WHEREAS, non-hazardous landfill design and applications must be prepared
by registered professional engineering companies to specifications determined
by the Department of Waste Management; and
WHEREAS, the Department of Waste Management justification for assessing
Permit Application Fees is to cover costs incurred in performing specific
administrative functions such as issuance of permits, permit modifications, or
certifications to applicants; and
WHEREAS, the Department of Waste Management estimates that it will require
a total of 1385.6 or 1610.6 man-hours at a cost of $29,257.21 or $36,081.72 to
have their engineers, geologists and others review work submitted by registered
professional engineers, geologists and others employed by the Counties, Cities
and Towns; and
WHEREAS, Permit Application processing is a normal part of a regulatory
agency's business which should be funded as a normal part of their budget paid
from the general fund and not from special funds as proposed; and
WHEREAS, the imposition of Permit Application Fees exacerbate an already
heave, unfunded, mandate thrust upon the Counties, Cities and Towns by the
Department of Waste Management to meet their new regulations; and

WHEREAS, it appears that the Department of Waste Management, by and through
the Permit Application Fee process is intent on building a bureaucratic autonomous
empire which is not dependent upon the Commonwealth for funding, but still
costs. the taxpayers money; and
WHEREAS, it appears ludicrous that the Department of Waste Management
needs to spend 1385.6 or 1610.6 man-hours reviewing the work of registered
professional engineers and geologists all of whom are insured for malpractice,
which provides alternative remedies for the Department should their work fail
to meet required specifications; and
NOW TSEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Supervisors of the County
of Mecklenburg, Virginia, strongly urges the General Assembly to amend the
Virginia Waste Management Act, Sec. 10.1-1402(16), Code of Virginia to exempt
the Counties, Cities and Towns from the burden of Permit Application Fees;

SUBJECT: Information on Literary Fund Projects
DATE: September 20, 1991
"`
As requested at a recent meeting of the Board of
Supervisors, the following additional information is provided on
the Literary Fund requests:
Green Valley Elementary
The addition is needed to provide kindergarten rooms that will
meet state standards. The present kindergarten rooms were not
built for kindergarten classes. Provision would be made to
relocate the library to the present kindergarten area. The
present library is too small. The electrical system would be
upgraded, asbestos removed, air conditioning installed, and
general building improvements made.
Cave Spring Junior High
Renovation of the buildings would include upgraded electrical
system, air conditioning, asbestos removal, some window and other
energy efficiency modifications, and general improvements.
Cave Sprinq Hiq_h
This addition is needed in order to upgrade science education
(science, biology, chemistry, physics) needs for adequate and up-
to-date classrooms and laboratories. General renovations would
be made to other portions of the building as needed.
Glenvar Hiqh
An addition is needed to accommodate the middle grades. With
relief from this addition, Glenvar Elementary could absorb
students from Fort Lewis Elementary. Fort Lewis, which is an old
school, could be closed.
Northside High
A classroom addition will enable the ninth grade to become part
of Northside High School. All sixth graders from North County
elementary schools (Glen Cove, Mason's Cove, Burlington, and
Mountain View) could then attend Northside Junior, which would
become Northside Middle School.
~ '/-~
-2-
William Byrd High
An addition would relieve the overcrowded conditions of this
school. All science laboratories would be renovated.
Back Creek Elementary
Projected increase in enrollment will require additional
classrooms. Since the conclusion of the 1989-90 school year the
enrollment has increased a total of 56 students.
Cave Spring Elementary
The library needs to be expanded. The electrical system would
be improved, asbestos removed, air conditioning installed, and
general improvements made to the older portion of the building.
Mason's Cove Elementary
Additional classrooms are needed to replace two mobile units.
Improvements would be made to the older portion of the building
to include electrical upgrade, air conditioning, and general
improvements.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 23, 1991
TO: Roanoke County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Anne Marie Green,
Public Information Officer
RE: Citizens and Government
At the meeting of September 10, I was asked to review
Supervisor Eddy's memorandum on citizen involvement, and to provide
an analysis of the suggestions.
Mr. Eddy is correct - most people are interested only in
actions that directly affect them, their families or their
property. Additionally, our recent survey showed that the vast
majority of County residents are satisfied with the actions of the
Board and the staff, which means that few people see a need to
become involved.
I have the following comments on his suggestions:
1. Mary Allen is going to change the automated message for
the Board of Supervisors' telephone number, and will include
information on the public hearings and pending actions of general
interest.
2. A display ad in the Roanoke Times and World News is
expensive, and I believe we can achieve the same effect with the
list of recent and upcoming Board actions in Roanoke County Today.
On the response cards which we recently received, many citizens
indicated that they like this feature of the newsletter and read
it regularly.
3. I will contact Norma Jean Peters, who oversees the Social
Studies curriculum for the County schools, and remind her that the
1
f~
Supervisors and staff are always available for appearances at the
schools. Classroom visits should start below the junior and senior
high school level. Last school year, a student at Radford
University arranged visits of this type as part of a course
project. The Sheriff, the County Administrator, the Animal Control
Officer and Dick Robers each spoke to students at Cave Spring
Elementary School, and their visits were very well received.
Additionally, Student Government Day continues to be popular
with the schools, and our program is one of the oldest in the
Country.
4. Mr. Hodge has started meeting with civic league presidents
on a quarterly basis, and at the next meeting, we will remind them
that the Supervisors and staff are always available for speaking
engagements.
5. If the Board wishes, I can explore interview programs with
local TV and radio stations. I will need to know who is available
to be interviewed and the topics you would be willing to speak
about. The stations do occasionally contact Mr. Hodge and other
staff members for interviews, and we do everything possible to
accommodate the requests.
6. Once the government access channels become available, the
County will have the opportunity to use Cable TV regularly. I am
a representative to the Cable TV Committee, and the first meeting
is this week. I will report back as to the possibility of
televised Board meetings, interviews, etc.
7. We can make copies of controversial or important agenda
items to be placed on the back table along with copies of the
agenda itself. Obviously, there is a cost to this, but if the
Board wishes, it can be done on an experimental basis.
Currently, a variety of civic leagues, citizens and news media
agencies receive a copy of the agenda in the mail prior to the
meetings. They send us a written request at the beginning of the
year, and the clerk's office mails the agenda to them. Staff
frequently receive calls from the press asking for more information
on certain items after they receive the agenda, and we generally
fax them the Board Reports.
The press also has the media packet available to them
beginning at 3:00 p.m. on Friday before the meeting, as well as
during the meeting itself, and some of the reporters do come into
the office to review the agenda.
8. The County could advertise vacancies on committees,
commissions and boards. This does require application forms,
however, and then the individual Board member would have to choose
who to recommend.

rn-
9. The local media has been enduring budget cuts, and they
are finding it difficult to cover everything in the Roanoke Valley.
Press conferences should be kept for important issues and events,
and I believe we will receive better coverage that way.
We do send press releases to all the news media on a regular
basis, and also receives periodic telephone calls from them asking
for "news".
As a member of the Virginia Municipal League's Public Affairs
Network and the National Association of County Public Information
Officers, I regularly receive newsletters containing suggestions
on communicating with citizens. Many of these have associated
costs, but I will watch for any which we can do inexpensively.

Section III. IMPACT OF LINE ON SCENIC, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND HISTORIC FEATURES
A. Describe the character of the area which will be traversed by
this line, including, land use, wetlands, etc. Provide the
number of dwellings within 500 feet of the line for each route
considered.
The Virginia portion of the Wyoming-Cloverdale 765 kV line
crosses the landscape in an area commonly known as the Ridge
and Valley Province, which consists of parallel ridges and
stream valleys, with sandstones and shales in upper slope
positions, and less resistant limestones and shales in lower
slope positions and valleys. The ridges are typically wooded
in deciduous and mixed evergreen forests. The valleys have
been mostly cleared for pasture and rural settlements.
There are no large population concentrations in areas to be
traversed by the line in Virginia except for the extreme
eastern portion of the line as it enters the Cloverdale
station near Roanoke. Most of the line will be located in
areas where residences and farms are distributed in a
generally dispersed settlement pattern. ~
The preferred corridor has 17 residences in Virginia within
500 feet of the centerline. The alternative corridor
incorporating segments PC 6, PC 7, AC 19, and PC 10 has 10
residences in Virginia within 500 feet of the centerline.
(All "PC" and "AC" references are to segments of the
alternative and preferred corridors identified on Map A and
Exhibit 4.) The alternative corridor incorporating segments
AC 15, PC 7, PC 8, and PC 10 has 19 residences in Virginia
within 500 feet of centerline. The alternative corridor
incorporating segments AC 15, PC 7, AC 19, and PC 10 has 12
residences in Virginia within 500 feet of the centerline.
Alternative segment AC 11 has no residences in Virginia within
500 feet of the centerline.
B. Advise of any public meetings the Company has had with
neighborhood associations and officials of local, state or
federal governments who would have an interest or
responsibility with respect to affected area or areas.
Two sets of public workshops have been held during the course
of this project. The first workshops, held in November of
1990, were held in Hinton, Union and Pineville, West Virginia
and Catawba, Virginia. The second set of workshops was held
in late May and early June of 1991. These workshops were held
in Hinton, Pineville, Union and Princeton, West Virginia and
Catawba, Pearisburg and New Castle, Virginia. Several other
non-public meetings have been held with officials of local,
state and federal governments and are listed below:

C. Detail the nature, location, and ownership of all buildings
which would have to be demolished or relocated if the project
is built as proposed.
This information will not be available until the final right-
of-way is determined and surveyed. At this point, it is
anticipated that a maximum of one building will need to be
demolished or relocated.
D. What existing physical facilities will the line parallel, if
any, such as existing transmission lines, railroad tracks,
highways, pipelines, etc.? Describe the current use and
physical appearance and characteristics of the existing right-
of-way that would be paralleled. How long has the right-of-
way been in use.
The preferred corridor generally parallels existing 345 kV and
765 kV lines in segments PC 8, PC 9 and PC 10. The rights-of-
way are in active use for transmission lines, and the segments
to be paralleled generally run through forested areas. A
portion of the 765 kV transmission line to be paralleled
crosses through two short segments, totalling .75 miles, of
~~ the Havens Wildlife Management Area north of Salem. These
corridor segments will be described in detail in the
Environmental Assessment to be provided to the Commission in
a supplemental filing. The existing 345 kV right-of-way has
been in use since 1969 and the existing 765 kV right-of-way
has been in use since 1973.
E. Has the Company investigated land use plans in the areas of
the proposed route? How would the building of the proposed
line effect future land use of the areas affected?
21
°"'
The Company has investigated land use plans in the areas of
the proposed route. While paralleling an existing 345 kV line
in Roanoke County, the preferred corridor is adjacent to the
eastern boundary of the proposed landfill site at Smith Gap
south of Bradshaw, Virginia. The proposed route should not,
however, affect the use of this site as a landfill.
The preferred corridor will traverse certain lots in the
western portion of the Equestrian Hills subdivision on Route
~~ 624 in Roanoke County while paralleling an existing 345 kV
line. No houses have been built in this portion of the
subdivision.
Alternative corridor segment AC 19 will be adjacent to the
Wood subdivision in Craig County. No houses have been built
in this subdivision. This alternative corridor segment will
also cross Route 621 in Craig County, which has been
designated as a growth corridor by Craig County.
1. Has the Company determined from the governing bodies of
each county, city and town in which the proposed
facilities will be located whether those bodies have
designated the important farmlands within their
jurisdictions, as required by Virginia Code Section 3.1-
18.5.3?
The Company has determined from the governing bodies of
each county, city and town in which the proposed
facilities will be located that those bodies have not
designated important farmlands within their jurisdictions,
as required by Virginia Code Section 3.1-18.5.3.
2. If so, and if any portion of the proposed facilities will
be located on any such important farmland, please:
a. Include maps and other evidence showing the nature and
extent of the impact on such farmlands.
b. Describe what alternatives exist to locating the
proposed facilities on the affected farmlands, and why
those alternatives are not suitable.
c. Describe the applicant's proposals to minimize the
impact of the facilities on the affected farmland.
Not applicable.
F. Identify the following that lie within or adjacent to the
proposed right-of-way:
1. Any district, site, building, structure, or other object
22
N --
included in the National Register of Historic Places
maintained by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior;
No district, site, building, structure, or other object
included in the National Register of Historic Places
maintained by the U. S. Secretary of the Interior is
located in the preferred or any alternative corridor in
Virginia.
2. Any historic landmark, site, building, structure, district
or object included in the Virginia Landmarks Register
maintained by the Virginia Board of Historic Resources;
No historic landmark, site, building, structure, district
or object included in the Virginia Landmarks Register
maintained by the Virginia Board of Historic Resources is
located in the preferred or any alternative corridor in
,~ Virginia. The preferred corridor does, however, cross the
'~7~ proposed Catawba Rural Historic District in Roanoke
County.
3. Any historic district designated by the governing body of
any city or county;
No historic district designated by the governing body of
any city or county is located in the preferred or any
alternative corridor in Virginia.
4. Any state archaeological site or zone designated by the
Director of the Virginia Department of Historic Resources,
or his predecessor, and any site designated by a local
archaeological commission, or similar body;
No state archaeological site or zone designated by the
Director of the Virginia Department of Historic Resources,
or his predecessor, and no site designated by a local
archaeological commission, or similar body is located in
the preferred or any alternative corridor in Virginia.
5. Any underwater historic property designated by the
Virginia Department of Historic Resources, or predecessor
agency or board;
No underwater historic property designated by the Virginia
Department of Historic Resources, or predecessor agency or
board is located in the preferred or any alternative
corridor in Virginia.
6. Any National Natural Landmark designated by the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior;
23
"' ,
paralleling an existing 765 kV line. All appropriate
efforts have been undertaken to mitigate the impact on
these scenic and recreational resources for the preferred
and alternative corridors.
G. List any airports where the proposed route would place a
structure or conductor within the glide path of the airport.
Advise of contacts and results of contacts made with
appropriate officials regarding the effect on the airport's
operations.
The preferred and alternative corridors are not located
within the glide path of any airports.
H. Advise of any scenic byways that are in close proximity to or
will be crossed by the proposed transmission line and describe
what steps will be taken to mitigate any visual impacts on
such byways. Describe typical mitigation techniques for other
highway's crossings.
The preferred corridor crosses Route 785 in Roanoke County in
a parallel corridor to an existing 345 kV line. The line
should span the entire valley with two towers at remote ridges
deep in the forest on either side of the road. Since the
valley land is used for agriculture, only vegetation in the
vicinity of the tower locations will require removal. The
towers are likely to be screened by forest growth except at
the crossing point of the road, where screening vegetation may
need to be planted. Since the line should pass over the road
approximately 200 feet above the pavement, there will be ample
room for vegetation to be planted to screen the view adjacent
to the roadway.
The preferred corridor will also cross Route 42 in Craig
County. Route 42 is crossed in a visually complex segment of
the Sinking Creek Valley approximately three-quarters of a
mile east of Bethel Church in a long turn between two hills in
the valley. The two hills will provide the opportunity to
partially screen the towers from roadway views. Westbound
traffic should have only limited views of the crossing point,
but eastbound traffic will have longer views of the towers
across the valley. Visual simulations have been used to
identify the most appropriate points for screening vegetation
to be planted.
The preferred corridor also crosses Route 311 north of Hanging
Rock, Virginia paralleling an existing 765 kV line. The line
should cross the roadway at an elevation of 200 feet in a
densely vegetated area. Because of vegetation providing a
canopy cover, visibility of the line from the roadway will be
limited. No towers will be visible from the roadway.
25
-~
Alternative corridor segment AC 19 crosses Route 311 between
Catawba and New Castle approximately .5 miles south of the
intersection with State Route 621 and Craig Creek. The line
should pass over the road at an elevation of 200 feet,
minimizing the need to remove vegetation that lies adjacent to
the roadway. Northbound traffic in all likelihood will not
see the line or any towers. Southbound traffic will see the
line and towers silhouetted against background views of Cove
and North Mountains. The right-of-way will not be visible
from the roadway.
For all crossings of scenic byways, final route selection will
be assisted by the use of digital video simulation techniques,
visual analysis of viewsheds using computer simulations, and
detailed field investigations.
Typical mitigation techniques for other highway crossings will
be addressed in the Environmental Assessment to be provided to
the Commission in a supplemental filing.

Section V. NOTICE
A. Furnish a proposed route description to be used for public
notice purposes. Provide a map of suitable scale showing the
route of the proposed project.
Beginning in West Virginia, the preferred corridor exits the
Wyoming station to the southeast, crossing Route 971
approximately 1.5 miles north of Clear Fork, and then
continues to the south-southeast, crossing the Guyandotte
River and Route 97_between Baileysville and Brenton. The
corridor then continues southeast to cross Route 16
approximately 1.1 miles north of Wolf Pen, and Route 10
between Covel and Garewood. The corridor enters Mercer County
approximately .4 miles north of Arista, continuing on a line
approximately .3 miles north of Wenonah. Continuing to the
southeast, the corridor crosses US 19 approximately .9 miles
southeast of Spanishburg. The route then heads east-
northeast, crossing Interstate 77 approximately 2.4 miles
south of Eads Mill, then on. to Route 20 at a crossing
approximately 1.5 miles northeast of Athens.
The preferred corridor then heads northeast, crossing into
Summers County .8 miles south of the town of Lick Creek, and
continues to the New River crossing approximately 1.1 miles
north of the Shanklins Ferry Boy Scout Camp. The corridor
then crosses into Monroe County just south of Mandeville,
crosses Route 12 approximately 1.2 miles north of Ballard,
then crosses Route 27 approximately .3 miles north of Orchard.
The corridor then proceeds east-southeast crossing US 219
approximately 1.1 miles northeast of Lindside. The corridor
then heads east-northeast along the northern slope of Peters
Mountain, then crosses Peters Mountain approximately 1.9 miles
southeast of Zenith. The corridor then proceeds to the
southeast and crosses into Virginia approximately 1.4 miles
southeast of Waiteville, West Virginia. The corridor then
proceeds southeast to Johns Creek and Route 632 at a crossing
just south of Tucker Hollow. The corridor then crosses Johns
Creek Mountain and proceeds to cross Route 42 approximately 1
mile south of Sinking Creek.
Continuing southeast, the preferred corridor crosses Sinking
Creek Mountain, then proceeds south-southeast, crossing Route
621 and Craig Creek approximately 2.5 miles north of the Craig
County-Montgomery County border. Thn corridor continues to
the..south-southeast into Roanoke County, crossing Route 624
approximately 1.5 miles west of the intersection of Routes 624
and 697. The. corridor crosses Route 785 approximately .25
miles west of the intersection of Route 785 with Route 697.
Continuing to the south-southeast, the corridor crosses Route
622. approximately .6 miles northeast of Bradshaw., crosses Fort
Lewis Mountain, generally paralleling an- existing 345. kV
29
~- /
transmission line to a point approximately 2.5 miles north of
the Dixie Caverns interchange on Interstate 81. The corridor
then turns to the northeast, generally paralleling an existing
765 kV transmission line, crosses Route 311 approximately .7
miles north of Hanging Rock, and continues to parallel
existing transmission lines on Brushy Mountain until it
reaches Carvin Cove, staying to the west of the reservoir.
The corridor then heads east across the Carvin Cove Reservoir
,just north of Botetourt-Roanoke County line to an intersection
with the Company's Jacksons Ferry-Cloverdale 765 kV line
approximately 1.3 miles west of the Cloverdale Station.
The Jacksons Ferry-Cloverdale line will be severed at that
point, and the new line will be connected to the remaining
section of the Jacksons Ferry-Cloverdale line running into
Cloverdale. Anew section of 765 kV line will be constructed
to connect the western portion of the Jacksons Ferry-
Cloverdale line with the Cloverdale Station. The new section
will travel due west out of the Cloverdale Station parallel to
the existing Jacksons Ferry-Cloverdale 765 kV line for
approximately .4 miles and then will turn northwest and cross
Interstate 81. The line then continues across the northeast
side of Tinker Mountain to connect with the existing Jacksons
Ferry-Cloverdale 765 kV line at a point approximately 1.7
miles west of Cloverdale. Approximately .4 miles of the
Jacksons Ferry-Cloverdale line, which lies between the two
cut-in points, would be removed from service.
Alternative corridor AC 19 departs from the preferred corridor
at a point east of Route 42 approximately 1.3 miles south of
Sinking Creek. The corridor then proceeds north-northeast,
crossing Route 621 approximately .8 miles northeast of Webbs
Mill, and then crosses Route 311 approximately 1.7 miles south
of Abbott. The line continues northeast, paralleling Broad
Run and Route 618, then heads southeast approximately 3.8
miles southeast of New Castle where the line crosses into
Botetourt County. The corridor crosses North Mountain and
Route 779 just north of the intersection with Route 600. At
a point approximately .7 miles south of Lone Star, the
corridor then turns south-southeast, staying to the west of
Tinker Mountain, and then southeast to an intersection with
the Company's Jacksons Ferry-Cloverdale 765 kV transmission
line approximately 1.3 miles west of Cloverdale. At that
point, the Jacksons Ferry-Cloverdale line will be severed and
the proposed Wyoming-Cloverdale line will be connected to the
remaining portion of the Jacksons Ferry-Cloverdale line
running into Cloverdale. A new section of line will be
constructed to connect the Cloverdale Station to the western
portion of the Jacksons Ferry-Cloverdale line along the
following route. The new line will travel due west out of the
Cloverdale Station parallel to the existing 765 kV line for
approximately .4 miles then turn northwest and cross
30
N --
Interstate 81.' The line then continues across the northeast
side of Tinker Mountain to connect with the existing Jacksons
Ferry-Cloverdale 765 kV line at a point approximately 1.7
miles west of the Cloverdale Station. Approximately 0.4 miles
of the Jacksons Ferry-Cloverdale line, which lies between the
two cut-in points, would be removed from service.
In West Virginia, the alternative segment AC 11 diverges from
the preferred corridor approximately 1.5 miles northeast of
Athens at the crossing of Route 20. The corridor then heads
southeast to a point approximately .6 miles south of Pettry,
then east to a point approximately .3 miles south of Lovern,
then southeast to cross the New River approximately 2 miles
south of the border between Summers and Mercer County. The
corridor crosses the New River into Virginia and passes
through a small section of Giles County in a southeast
direction for approximately 3700 feet just east of Bluestone
Lake, then heads northeast into Monroe County, West Virginia
passing through a point approximately .7 miles south of
Cloverdale, West Virginia. The corridor then heads east to
cross Route 12 approximately .6 miles south of Cashmere.
At this point, two alternatives are presented. The northern
alternative AC 12 continues northeast, crossing Route 27
approximately .5 miles east of the junction of Route 27 and
Route 27/2, then continues northeast for approximately 2.0
miles where it connects with the preferred corridor northeast
of Lindside. The southern alternative AC 13 proceeds
southeast from the crossing of Route 12 at Cashmere, crossing
US 219 approximately .6 miles north of Crooked Creek, then
heads northeast following the south slope of Little Mountain
where it connects with the preferred corridor approximately
1.5 miles southwest of Schoolhouse Ridge.
Alternative corridor AC 14 in West Virginia departs from the
preferred corridor approximately 1.1 miles northeast of
Lindside after crossing US 219. The corridor heads northeast
staying to the north of Schoolhouse Ridge to a point
approximately 1.2 miles south of Rock Camp. The corridor
continues to the northeast, crossing Dropping Lick Creek and
Route 29 approximately 1.5 miles west of Zenith and continues
to a point approximately .6 miles north-northwest of Zenith.
From this point, two alternative corridors are developed. The
northern segment AC 15 heads to the northeast for.
approximately 2 miles, then heads east to cross Route 15 at a
point approximately 2.3 miles southwest of Gap Mills. The
corridor then heads southeast, crossing Peters Mountain, Potts
Creek, and then Route 17 at a point approximately 2.6 miles
northeast of Waiteville.
31
~ v
The corridor then proceeds into Virginia, crossing Potts
Mountain into Craig County approximately 1.3 miles west of
Arnolds Knob, then crosses Route 658 approximately .9 miles
northeast of Blue Healing Springs. The corridor continues to
the southeast, crossing Johns Creek and Route 632
approximately 2.9 miles northeast of Maggie. This corridor
connects with the preferred corridor at Johns Creek Mountain
near the crossing of Route 624.
The other alternative (AC 16 and AC 18) proceeds in a
southeasterly direction from the point .6 miles north of
Zenith to cross Route 29 approximately 1.4 miles east of
Zenith, then connects with the preferred corridor
approximately 2.0 miles west of Waiteville.
The final alternative corridor segment in West Virginia (AC
17) diverges from the preferred corridor 1.3 miles southeast
of Zenith and heads northeast for approximately 1.8 miles
where it joins with alternative corrid referred8~ corridor
southeast to reconnect with the p
approximately 2.0 miles west of Waiteville.
A map of the proposed preferred and alternative corridors is
included as Exhibit 4.

PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICE
MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 23, 1991
TO: Roanoke County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Anne Marie Green,
Public Information Officer
RE: Citizens and Governme~at
At the meeting of September 10, I was asked to review
Supervisor Eddy's memorandum on citizen involvement, and to provide
an analysis of the suggestions.
Mr. Eddy is correct - most people are interested only in
actions that directly affect them, their families or their
property. Additionally, our recent survey showed that the vast
majority of County residents are satisfied with the actions of the
Board and the staff, which means that few people see a need to
become involved.
I have the following comments on his suggestions:
1. Mary Allen is going to change the automated message for
the Board of Supervisors' telephone number, and will include
information on the public hearings and pending actions of general
interest.
2. A display ad in the Roanoke Times and World News is
expensive, and I believe we can achieve the same effect with the
list of recent and upcoming Board actions in Roanoke County Today.
On the response cards which we recently received, many citizens
indicated that they like this feature of the newsletter and read
it regularly.
3. I will contact Norma Jean Peters, who oversees the Social
Studies curriculum for the County schools, and remind her that the
1
P.O. BOX 29800 ROANOKE. VIRGINIA 24018-0798 (703) 772-2010
Supervisors and staff are always available for appearances at the
schools. Classroom visits should start below the junior and senior
high school level. Last school year, a student at Radford
University arranged visits of this type as part of a course
project. The Sheriff, the County Administrator, the Animal Control
Officer and Dick Robers each spoke to students at Cave Spring
Elementary School, and their visits were very well received.
Additionally, Student Government Day continues to be popular
with the schools, and our program is one of the oldest in the
Country.
4. Mr. Hodge has started meeting with civic league presidents
on a quarterly basis, and at the next meeting, we will remind them
that the Supervisors and staff are always available for speaking
engagements.
5. If the Board wishes, I can explore interview programs with
local TV and radio stations. I will need to know who is available
to be interviewed and the topics you would be willing to speak
about. The stations do occasionally contact Mr. Hodge and other
staff members for interviews, and. we do everything possible to
accommodate the requests.
6. Once the government access channels become available, the
County will have the opportunity to use Cable TV regularly. I am
a representative to the Cable TV Committee, and the first meeting
is this week. I will report back as to the possibility of
televised Board meetings, interviews, etc.
7. We can make copies of controversial or important agenda
items to be placed on the back table along with copies of the
agenda itself. Obviously, there is a cost to this, but if the
Board wishes, it can be done on an experimental basis.
Currently, a variety of civic leagues, citizens and news media
agencies receive a copy of the agenda in the mail prior to the
meetings. They send us a written request at the beginning of the
year, and the clerk's office mails the agenda to them. Staff
frequently receive calls from the press asking for more information
on certain items after they receive the agenda, and we generally
fax them the Board Reports.
The press also has the media packet available to them
beginning at 3:00 p.m. on Friday before the meeting, as well as
during the meeting itself, and some of the reporters do come into
the office to review the agenda.
8. The County could advertise vacancies on committees,
commissions and boards. This does require application forms,
however, and then the individual Board member would have to choose
who to recommend.
2
9. The local media has been enduring budget cuts, and they
are finding it difficult to cover everything in the Roanoke Valley.
Press conferences should be kept for important issues and events,
and I believe we will receive better coverage that way.
We do send press releases to all the news media on a regular
basis, and also receives periodic telephone calls from them asking
for "news".
As a member of the Virginia Municipal League's Public Affairs
Network and the National Association of County Public Information
Officers, I regularly receive newsletters containing suggestions
on communicating with citizens. Many of these have associated
costs, but I will watch for any which we can do inexpensively.

MEMO - 9/4/91
To: Supervisors
From: Lee B. Eddy ~-
Subject: Citizens and Government
As mentioned at a recent Board meeting, I am very interested in
exploring what can be done to improve citizen involvement in
Roanoke County's government. There appears to be a general lack of
interest and information on the part of most residents regarding
the ongoing activities of County government. In my experience, a
significant number of citizens become interested only in cases of
controversial zoning changes, proposed pet control ordinances,
changes in youth athletic programs, or a substantial increase in
taxes or service fees. There are many other actions that should be
of interest and concern to citizens. I have attempted to address
this problem through the Windsor Hills District REPORTER (the
feedback to date has been positive), but that newsletter has a
circulation of only 150.
This concern of mine is not related to partisan politics, but
rather is a perceived need for more public interest and
involvement. Some initial specific suggestions for addressing this
need are as follows: -
1. Change the automated message for the Board of Supervisors'
telephone number (772-8949) each Friday before a Board meeting to
include information on all public hearings and other pending action
of general interest.
2. Run a display ad in the RTWN on the Monday before each Board
meeting, with information on pending public hearings and other
actions of general interest.
3. Promote supervisor/staff appearances at high school and junior
high school government classes.
4. Promote supervisor/staff appearances at meetings of civic
leagues and other community organizations.
5. Propose one or more interview programs with local TV and radio
stations. One scenario might include the Board Chairman and County
Administrator to outline pending matters on a progam run the
weekend before a Board meeting, and selected Supervisors to analyze
Board actions on the following weekend.
6. When public/government-access cable TV is operative, consider
televising Board meetings and/or interviews with Supervisors/Staff.
7. At Board meetings have the Chairman or Staff provide more
introductory or background information for all Board resolutions
and ordinances, so the audience and news media will have a better
idea of what action is being considered. Alternately, provide some
additional information in the printed agenda copies that are
available to those attending Board meetings.
8. Promote more citizen participation in committees, task forces,
?tC.
9. Hold more news conferences, with participation by the Board
Chairman and County Administrator.
There are undoubtedly other approaches that should be considered.
Your response would be greatly appreciated.

The County Board of Supervisors has asked for a work session
with APCo representatives on the Cloverdale-Wyoming power line
project. The work session has been scheduled for 5 p.m. on Tuesday,
October 8, 1991, in the Community Room at the Roanoke County
Administration Center, 3738 Brambleton Avenue, S. W.
I anticipate that this briefing will last about half an hour,
and APCo's presentation could be similar to those you have done on
the project at various community meetings. I have asked Don Myers
(772-2017) and Anne Marie Green (772-2010) to work with you or your
representatives in preparation for the work session.
At this point, the Board seems ready to work with you, but they
do have questions and there are some issues to be resolved. If you
have any questions or if I can be of help to you, please do not
hesitate to call.
Very truly yours,
