Credit should also go to previous Board members, as well as County Staff, who worked on the many projects that are now reaching completion. Listed below are some of the major projects. I. Dedication of the Transfer Station and Smith Gap Landfill with the following assets: A. A landfill that will meet EPA standards, that is programmed to last 70 years or longer as we continue to emphasize recycling. B. A rail delivery system that will keep the highways clean and free of heavy trash truck traffic, preventing damage to road surfaces. C. State-of--the-art technology at both the transfer station and landfill now being studied by other governments. D. A regional approach that will benefit the entire Roanoke Valley. II. Spring Hollow Dam and water facilities that will provide for Roanoke County's water needs well into the 21st century. The following has taken place thus far: A. The dam is finished and ready to receive water at any time. B. The pumping station will be finished, ready to pump water by March 1. C. Due to the efforts of Mr. Cliff Craig, significant savings have been realized in various parts of the project. D. It was possible to mine much of the limestone needed in the dam from the site itself, thus providing additional storage space in the reservoir. III. Salary Survey Study for County Employees A. Study was accomplished with a minimum of confusion, due in a large part to the hard work of the County Staff, whom I would like to thank. B. This brought the salary of County employees more closely in line with other governmental and industrial organizations. C. I view the action by the Board as a positive morale factor for our employees and an indication of the Board's commitment to the County work force. IV. Purchase of and move to the new County Administration Building, with the following results: A. Much needed space for employees and equipment. I am sure in some cases we must have been in violation of our own safety standards. B. Alleviated the need to secure an additional 10,000 square feet of rented space. C. Rent in the next 10 years would have been in excess of 1.5 million dollars, which has been placed toward owning our own building. D. Better service to the public with most of our offices in one building. E. It is now possible to meet handicapped citizens' needs much better than we have in the past. F. Building ownership, in 20 years, with an estimated value of four to five million dollars. 1993 Chairman's Report Page 3 V. Ground breaking and construction for the new Regional Forensic Lab, to be built in Roanoke County. A. Special thanks to the County Administrator for his coordination with officials from the State of Virginia to make this project a reality. B. Thanks to the State of Virginia who helped plan and furnish funds for this project. VI. Ground breaking and construction of the new Cox Cable state-of--the-art facility in the Tanglewood area of Roanoke County. A. Special thanks to our Economic Development staff for their hard work to make this an easier transition for Cox Cable. VII. New County rezoning ordinance, which took a tremendous amount of work by the staff' as well as the Board. Special thanks to the staff for: A. The many meetings held with developers and builders to hear their concerns about the new ordinance. B. The large number of meetings held in various communities to have maximum citizen input. C. Willingness to listen to the concerns of our people and address their problems. VIII. New Senior Citizen and Youth Center established in the old Administration Building. A. A meeting place that represents the respect and care that we wish for our Senior Citizens. B. Another indoor facility with multipurpose usage available for our young people. C. Made available for sale the highly desirable property on Ogden Road which housed the old Senior Citizens Center. D. Strengthens our commitment to the Senior Citizens and Youth of our community. 1993 Chairman's Report Page 4 MEETINGS ATTENDED REPRESENTING ROANOKE COUNTY TANUARY (, Roanoke Regional Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting 11 Airport Air Show Committee 12 Local Contractors/Terry Harrington Chaired Board of Supervisors Meeting 14 Pinkard Court Citizens 16 Roanoke Valley Regional Home Builders Association 1 g Bio-Ethics Committee, Lewis-Gale Hospital First Union officials 19 Luncheon with County business leaders 20 Airport Commission 21 Virginia Department of Tra,nsportationlElmer Hodge 23 Cave Spring Volunteer Fire Department Dinner 25 Travelers Building 26 Chaired Board of Supervisors meeting 2'7 Luncheon - Clearbrook Elementary School 29 Mr. Blair re: lacrosse field FEBRUARY 1 Leisure Arts, Pinkard Court Reception, Mr. Brammer, Roanoke Regional Airport 2 Budget meeting, Roanoke Regional Airport 3 Kitty Boitnott, RCEA 4 Elmer Hodge, review Board agenda 9 EAC luncheon Airport Commission Chaired Board of Supervisors meeting 10 Airport Air Show Committee Tim Gubala, Economic Development 11 Cave Spring High School Civics Classes Meeting with Roanoke Valley Legislators, Richmond 12-13 Virginia Board Chairmen's Institute, Richmond 15 Bio-Ethics Committee, Lewis-Gale Hospital 1 ~ Grand Opening, Longhorn Steak House, Tanglewood Mall Airport Air Show Committee Elmer Hodge, review Board agenda 1 g Savings Bond luncheon 19 Virginia Tech Education Week breakfast 23 Chaired Board of Supervisors meeting 25 Quarterly valley leaders meeting Economic Development Partnership Annual Meeting 1993 Chairman's Report Page 5 M R H 1 Ground breaking, Spring Hollow 2 Beth Doughty, Economic Development Partnership 3 Judy Griesenbock, Salem-Roanoke Valley Chamber of Commerce First Union officials 5 Awards Reception, Roanoke Valley Historical Society and Museum Budget meeting, School Board ~ Youth Arts in the Valley 9 Meeting with Roanoke County Treasurer Mr. Briscoe re: Northside Gym Chaired Board of Supervisors meeting 11 Meeting with volunteer firemen/local problems 12 Airport Air Show Committee 15 Bio-Ethics Committee, Lewis-Gale Hospital 16 VDOT District Office Elmer Hodge, Cliff Craig/Spring Hollow 17 Airport Commission 1 g League of Older Americans Annual Meeting WFIR Radio interview 19 Cox Cable -complaint on rates 20 Salem-Roanoke County Regional C of C Dinner 22 Cave Spring High School Civics Class 23 Chaired Board of Supervisors meeting 25 Meeting with Finance Director 2'7 National Taekwondo Tournament 30 Conference of Chapter One Coordinators APRIL 1 Virginia State Athletic Directors Conference 2 Airport Air Show Committee 3 Elmer Hodge -review agenda 5 Virginia Health Department/Parkway Restaurant owner 6 Chaired Board of Supervisors meeting ~ Appraisal for Clerk of the Board of Supervisors 9 Kay Houck/Transportation Museum Deliver Certificate of Appreciation, I.

Christmas Luncheon 17 Roanoke County Elected Officials Investiture Ceremony 1993 Chairman's Report Page 12 MAJOR CHALLENGES WE FACE I. Reemphasize schools and the needs of teachers and school staff, with special emphasis on drug and discipline problems. I believe the solid base we once took for granted in our school system is now being eroded. If we attend to it now, we could save millions in the future. We mud address the drug problem that lies in wait for our young people and, as a result, continues to fill the prisons in the Commonwealth of Virginia. II. Dixie Caverns Landfill closeout. This could cost, as you already know, millions of dollars more, and we are at the mercy of the Federal Government that seemingly accepts no course of action but its own. III. Renewed efforts toward annexation and/or consolidation, especially from Roanoke City. There is an effort in this area to make all valley governments one. In my opinion, we must vigorously oppose any state legislation that would permit this. 1V. Cooperation with other valley governments. We need to explore various ways in which we can, to the maximum extent possible, unite with other valley governments to provide more and better services as economically as possible. I sense that we in Roanoke County are willing to consider almost anything, short of annexation or consolidation, to make this a reality. V. Economic Development. This is a challenge that we must accept on a day to day basis. My personal opinion is that the Economic Development Partnership has done an excellent job of contacting potential industries for the Roanoke Valley. I recommend a renewed emphasis toward the Partnership, with consideration also being given to the New Century Council. It would appear that the New River Valley region would be our next logical move if the people in that area are willing. VI. To be as fiscally responsible with the taxpayers' money as humanly possible. This means more of the same: watch every dollar -hold down the size of county staff -use and reuse until it becomes cost prohibitive -look for the most economical prices when we shop -turn off the lights when not needed -turn down the thermostats -avoid unnecessary paperwork. In short, do everything possible to save the taxpayers' money. VII. We must always be willing to hear the voice of the people we serve. And I give each of you an A+ here. This is not to be viewed as a courtesy, but rather as an obligation. And I believe that staff shares this obligation with us. VIII. Staff, like other industries, must continue to do more with less. I know they probably don't like to hear it, but it's just a fact of life. 1993 Chairman's Report Page 13 FROM THE CHAIRMAN Gentlemen: I want to say a word of special thanks to each of you for your work during the past year. Together as a Board, we met head-on the needs and problems that faced the County of Roanoke. I viewed our approach as non-partisan and in the best interest of the people we serve. Our debate, although heated at times, served as a refining process to make possible the very best decision available to the problem being considered. I commend each of you for your willingness to serve, your sense of responsibility toward the citizens of Roanoke County, and your desire to see your community a better place to live, with opportunities and advantages for everyone. It is my firm belief that your interest in the Roanoke Valley, your commitment to the people, and your unselfish and sometimes unappreciated efforts have made Roanoke County awell-planned, most desirable, and very special place to live. For this and all you do, I offer my sincere appreciation. / '~ _ --~'~~~3`~ 1993 Chairman's Report Page 14 pOAN ,~.~ ~ y az ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~.~ ROANOKE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ORGANI7ATIONAL MEETING ACTION AGENDA JANUARY .3,1994 -9:00 A.M.

The attached resolution suggests a meeting schedule for the calendar year 1994 and certain rules of procedure to govern your meetings. In reviewing the proposed meeting schedule you should note the following: Regular meetings twice a month on the second and fourth Tuesdays (the evening public hearing meeting being scheduled for the fourth Tuesday of each month). Three meetings being scheduled for April to accommodate the review and adoption of the budget. Staff recommends meeting on April 5, 12, and 26; however, this recommendation may conflict with Easter (which is April 3, 1994) and Spring Break for the schools. Only one meeting scheduled for August (August 23, 1994) (often the need for formal board action decreases in the summer months, an abbreviated meeting schedule is followed by many localities). Staff recommends meeting on November 8 and November 22, 1994. Election Day is November 8; however, the new administration center will not be used as a polling place (except for absentee voting). Thanksgiving is November 24. Chanukah is scheduled to begin November 28, 1994. Only one meeting in December (December 13, 1994) (the December meeting schedule change is suggested to accommodate the 1 ~~~ holiday season). The 1995 organizational meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, January 3, 1995. Next, the Board will note that the rules of procedure are the same as previously adopted by the Board. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board consider the adoption of the attached resolution. Respectfully submitted, ~1 ~ Y l ~' v ~, Paul M.
