ITEM NO. ___D-1____________
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE:
September 22, 2009
AGENDA ITEM:
Request for approval of a reimbursement agreement between
Roanoke County and the Western Virginia Water Authority for
the installation of public sewer in the Hanging Rock area and
appropriation of funds in the amount of $57,500 for the
County’s share of the project
SUBMITTED BY:
Paul M. Mahoney
County Attorney
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
This is a two party agreement between the Western Virginia Water Authority (WVWA) and
Roanoke County for the construction of 2,600 feet of gravity sewer line in the Hanging Rock
area of the County along Kessler Mill Road. The WVWA and the developers, by separate
agreement, will design and construct this $215,000 project. Roanoke County’s share of this
project is approximately $57,500, the WVWA share is $57,500 and the two developers are
contributing $50,000 each.
The extension of this 8-inch gravity line will be installed in such manner as to allow the
convenient gravity use by the County’s facilities and buildings located on Kessler Mill Road,
which are currently connected to public sewer. In addition, it will provide gravity sewer
service to the existing Regional Fire Training Facility located on parcel 036.03-01-01.02-
0000. This will eliminate the need for the existing pump station. No Pro-Rata Cost Share,
availability fees or connection fees will be assessed against the County or the Regional Fire
Training Facility for either of these connections.
The WVWA agrees to equally divide the Pro-Rata Cost Share received from future
customers with the County and to pay to the County its one-half share within thirty (30)
days of the receipt of the same. All availability fees, meter setting and other fees collected
from customers connecting to the extension will be retained by the WVWA.
Page 1 of 2
This extension will provide for increased economic development opportunity in the Hanging
Rock area as there is currently no public sewer available in this part of the County. This
has hindered the location of new businesses and has a negative effect on existing
businesses as private septic systems are aging and in danger of failure.
A copy of the draft agreement is attached for Board review.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Roanoke County’s share of this project is $57,500. Funds are available in the Public
Private Partnership account.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the execution of the attached agreement, in substantially the form and
substance as shown in the attached draft, by the County Administrator on behalf of
Roanoke County, upon form approved by the County Attorney, and appropriate $57,500
from the Public-Private Partnership account.
2. Decline to approve the attached agreement and refuse to appropriate these funds.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board favorably consider the adoption of the Hanging Rock
Reimbursement Agreement between Roanoke County and the WVWA and appropriate
$57,500 from the Public-Private Partnership account.
VOTE:
Supervisor Church moved to approve the staff recommendation.

AGENDA ITEM:
Request to approve four additional eligibility positions to the

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
BACKGROUND:
At the September 8, 2009, meeting, a work session was held to update the Board on the
current status of workload requirements and staffing needs in the Department of Social
Services (DSS). Staff presented data that emphasized the increased workload over the
last several years, including the impact of the current economic downturn on caseloads
within DSS and the increasing complexity of case management.
Staff presented a 3-year staffing plan and asked the Board permission to implement the
first year of the plan, which includes hiring four additional positions as follows:
2 Eligibility Workers
1 Senior Eligibility Worker
1 Eligibility Supervisor
The total annual cost of these positions, including benefits, is $173,104. These positions
are eligible for partial state reimbursement and reimbursement from the City of Salem for
services provided to city residents per contractual agreement. Salem has agreed to fund
their share of these positions if approved. The cost break-down is as follows:
Page 1 of 2
Commonwealth$121,173
Salem17,310
Roanoke County 34,361
Total$173,104
The total cost presented is the annualized cost of the positions. The effective date of
these positions will be October 1, 2009; therefore, the prorated cost for fiscal year 2009-
2010 will be $129,830.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact to Roanoke County for fiscal year 2009-2010 will be $25,770 (8 months
proration of $34,361). These funds will be recognized from state reimbursements that are
projected to be in excess of current budget estimates. The remaining $104,060 will be
reimbursed from the state and the City of Salem.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the approval of four additional positions to Roanoke County’s
Department of Social Services and the appropriation of $129,830 in revenue
reimbursements from the Commonwealth of Virginia and the City of Salem and the related
appropriation of $129,830 to the DSS personnel expenditure budget.

Supervisor Church moved to approve the staff recommendation.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE:
September 22, 2009
AGENDA ITEM:
Request to appropriate $12,000 as a grant to the Western
Virginia Water Authority (WVWA) to offset the cost of the
Andrew Lewis Place Sanitary Sewer Extension Project
SUBMITTED BY:
Rebecca Owens
Director of Finance
APPROVED BY:
B. Clayton Goodman, III
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
On December 4, 2007, the Board accepted a $797,940 water quality improvement grant
from the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) designated
for the Andrew Lewis Place Sanitary Sewer Extension Project. The grant funded the
extension of the sewer main into the Andrew Lewis Place neighborhood. Each participating
household paid the cost of abandoning the septic tank and extending plumbing from the
residence to the property line.
At the January 22, 2008, meeting, the Board appropriated $33,750 as a grant to the
Western Virginia Water Authority to offset the cost of the Andrew Lewis Place Sanitary
Sewer Extension Project. The County’s contribution to the project reduced the connection
costs paid by each household from approximately $4,000 to $3,250. The projected number
of participating households was 45.
The Andrew Lewis Sanitary Sewer Extension Project is substantially complete. During a
recent review, the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development confirmed
that all requirements of the grant have been completed with the exception of bacterial
sampling of the Roanoke River, which will be undertaken by the Authority with help from the
Virginia Department of Environmental Quality this fall.
Page 1 of 2
A key factor in the project’s success was the subsidy that Roanoke County agreed to
provide, $750 per lot, to help homeowners with the cost of the connection. This provided
quite an inducement and contributed to an increase in connections beyond the 45 originally
anticipated. Based upon 61 actual connections the WVWA is requesting an additional
reimbursement in the amount of $12,000.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds are available in the Public Works Project Fund to cover the additional cost of
$12,000 for the actual connections.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends appropriating $12,000 from the Public Works Project Fund as a grant to
the Western Virginia Water Authority to offset the cost of the Andrew Lewis Place Sanitary
Sewer Extension Project.
VOTE:
Supervisor Church moved to approve the staff recommendation.
