ITEM NUMBER ~" AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: July 13, 1995 AGENDA ITEM: Consideration for Change in Bulk/Brush Collection Method COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: This is being brought to the Board again at the request of Chairman Minnix. We are dealing with three issues on bulk and brush collection that need to be addressed. The first is the need to once again inform the citizens about the change. The second is a peak work load acerbated by an unusually wet season. The third is an increase in the work load of the department. There are charts attached showing the increased tonnages and the decrease in the number of staff assigned to the refuse collection. One concern that I have is the many calls that we have received from people who have only a small amount of refuse but who have not called for a scheduled pickup. The "extra mile" approach would have us check those houses anyway. However, that reinforces the inefficiencies of an unscheduled system because people use that approach again. For us to be efficient, we then have to drive throughout the neighborhood each day to see if refuse has been placed out by people who have not been scheduled for a pickup. We just have to drive around looking for it. I know this is an issue of concern to you as well but I think we should give it a while longer. To revert during the peak season will result in numerous complaints. To assist with the information process, we would like to make a presentation to the Board and viewing audience on Tuesday. 1 r-- ~ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY• The current method of bulk and brush collection, which began in September 1994, requires that citizens place a call to the Solid Waste office to schedule collection of the materials. The citizen is given a collection date from one to ten days from the date of the call. Collection is made bi-weekly. Citizens are asked to place no more than a pickup truck load of bulk or brush out for each collection. This call-in system was implemented just after the second half of the county was converted to automated refuse collection in July, 1994. The system, which now covers over 900 of the County, was implemented with no increase in operational costs over the once- per-month system which covered only slightly more than half the County. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: Prior to the implementation of the first phase of automation in February 1988, all household waste, including most bulk and brush, was collected weekly using the rearloader, manual collection method. Any material set to the curb was collected provided it was less than six feet in length and would fit in the rear of the truck. In February 1988, the first 3,300 residents were converted to automated service. Those residents were instructed to set out only the one container provided by the County for weekly collection. Studies showed that the container provided was adequate for a family of four and that most other localities offering this type collection provided monthly or less frequent bulk/brush collections. However, to ease the transition bi-weekly bulk and brush service was implemented. The 3,300 residents were instructed to set their material out on the Monday of either the 1st and 3rd week or 2nd and 4th week depending upon their normal collection day. Crews drove through the neighborhoods and collected everything that was placed at the street. In addition to a separate collection of these materials from regular refuse, we simultaneously began to collect bulk separately from brush. Environmental considerations required brush materials to be kept out of the landfill, thereby extending the life of the landfill. A reduced tipping fee for clean brush gave local governments even more reason to keep the materials separate. Brush is still collected separately, processed through a tubgrinder and made available to the public as mulch. The second phase of automated collection began in August 1989 2 F- ~ for approximately another 3,300 households in various areas of the county bringing the total number of residents receiving automated collection and bi-weekly bulk and brush collection to 6,600. During the third phase of automation in which another 6,600 carts were delivered, staff determined that equipment and personnel resources were no longer adequate to cover all automated areas on a bi-weekly basis and once-monthly bulk and brush collection was implemented for all automated customers. Citizens were asked to place bulk and brush items at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on Monday of their scheduled week to be collected as soon as possible during that week. The monthly service, then offered to approximately half the county, was performed with two vehicles and six employees. The remainder of the county, under the manual system, still received weekly collection of all trash with the exception of extremely large piles of brush. During the last phase of automation, which began in July, 1994, an additional 9,900 households were converted. The conversion was completed in September of 1994, and the bi-weekly call-in method for bulk and brush was implemented at this time. For these last 9,900 households, the conversion resulted in going from weekly bulk and brush service with no call-in requirement, to bi-weekly service with the requirement to call. For the initial 13, 200 automated customers, the change resulted in going from once- per month, no call-in service, to bi-weekly call-in service. At no time, was the total County ever on a once-per-month, no call-in basis. In other words, in September of 1994, half the County went from once-per-month no call-in, to bi-weekly call-in; the other half went from once-per-week no call-in to bi-weekly call-in. Under all collection systems, staff has attempted to provide extra collections during peak times, such as Christmas. Weekly collection of bagged leaves is also provided during the season as these materials are taken to a separate facility and mulched at a reduced fee. Similar collection of grass clippings would not be practical since they cannot be mulched and would require a separate collection vehicle involving the same disposal costs as regular bulk. With the call-in method, the two major issues seem to be the difficulty of communicating the specific requirements of the program and the logic of driving by refuse on the street for which a pick up has not been required. We have attempted to address the first issue with an extensive public awareness campaign and periodic reminders have been placed in the newspaper. In reference to the second issue, our policy is to collect as much material as possible regardless of whether it has been scheduled when circumstances permit. Regular, planned collection of unscheduled material is not practical since, during 3 F- peak collection periods as many as 360 stops are scheduled for a day and this does not permit any extra collection. Variance between estimated and actual quantities to be collected also aggravates the difficulty of more frequent collection of unscheduled material. Late spring and early summer are expectedly peak periods for yard waste, and with less than a full year with this new program, we are currently experiencing a record growing season for all types of vegetation. The volume of brush and grass clippings requiring collection is at record levels and, regardless of the method of collection, with current resources it would be virtually impossible to maintain a normal schedule. Other alternatives with their advantages and disadvantages have been considered and are shown below. ALTERNATIVES• 1. "Taxi Service" - Require citizens to call for collection and schedule pickups based on order of calls rather than geographic areas. Advantages: Prompt service Disadvantages: Inefficient utilization of resources Increase in required vehicles and manpower Requires citizens to call for pickup Unscheduled material remains on the street 2. "Bus Service" - Predetermined, planned route covers entire County on a monthly basis. Pickups done according to geographic areas. Advantages: No calls required for service Street is "clean" once collection finished for the month Disadvantages: Material may remain at the curb for as long as a month Citizens receive only monthly collection Estimate will require four vehicles and at least eight employees (# of employees exceeds current capabilities) No flexibility for seasonal volume 4 F- ~ fluctuations Increase drive time as crews "cover" routes 3. "Limousine Service" (current program) - Crews cover geographically planned routes on a bi-weekly basis collecting all material that has been scheduled by citizen calls. Advantages: Service within ten working days Scheduled material does not remain at the street for long periods of time Citizens receive bi-weekly service Current resources adequate to provide service level More efficient resource utilization Allows for collection flexibility during volume fluctuations Disadvantage: STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Citizens required to call for service Unscheduled material may remain at street Staff recommends alternative # 3 FISCAL IMPACT• Alternative #3 requires no additional allocation of funds.

BACKGROUND• On October 25, 1994, the Board adopted a policy for the sale or disposal of surplus real estate. Many of the parcels identified as surplus are well lots to be abandoned with the completion of the reservoir and the water transmission lines. This procedure provided for the annual advertisement and publication of the surplus real estate list, inviting bids from the public. This notice and list of properties was advertised in the Roanoke Times & World News on April 9, 1995. Once an offer is received, staff submits the offer to the Board of Supervisors in executive session after evaluation by the County Administrator, County Attorney and Property Manager. If the Board wishes to proceed, then the County Attorney prepares an appropriate ordinance for first reading, which constitutes notice that a bona fide offer has been received, and that other written offers may be received until 5:00 p.m. the Friday preceding the next Board meeting. The identity of the offerors) and the amount, terms or conditions of the offer(s) or bid(s) shall be kept confidential until the second reading. At second reading the Board may accept the best offer received or reject all offers. 1 i~ ~~ SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: The County received four offers for surplus real estate. These parcels of real estate are identified as follows: Arlington Forest Cherokee Hills 2 North Lakes 3 North Lakes 2 FISCAL IMPACTS' Tax Map Parcel No. Tax Map Parcel No. Tax Map Parcel No. Tax Map Parcel No. 86.16-5-13 54.04-6-37 36.12-1-23 37.09-4-15 Pursuant to Section 16.01 of the Roanoke County Charter, the proceeds from the sale of capital facilities, including real estate, shall be paid into capital facility accounts and expended therefrom solely for the purpose of acquisition, construction, maintenance or replacement of other capital facilities.

The Commission will match up to $5,000, any donation the County makes to qualified art organizations in the valley. In the FY 1995-96 Budget, The Board of Supervisors approved an appropriation of $3,000 for the Arts Council of the Blue Ridge, $8,500 for Mill Mountain Theatre and $7,500 for the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra. Staff therefore, applied for the maximum grant allocation of $5,000. Roanoke County was awarded $3,750 for FY 1995-96. This amount is less than the maximum due to the budget cuts suffered by State agencies over the last several years. FISCAL IMPACT: Staff recommends dividing the $3,750 grant evenly between the Arts Council of the Blue Ridge, Mill Mountain Theatre and the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra. Combined with the County's appropriation, the following amounts would be available to the organizations referred to above: County VCA Or~:anization Annropriation Grant Total Arts Council $ 3,000 $1,250 $ 4,250 Mill Mountain Theatre 8,500 1,250 9,750 Roanoke Symphony 7,500 1,250 8,750 19 000 3 750 22 750 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of the Local Government Challenge Grant from the Virginia Commission for the Arts in the amount of $3,750 to be distributed as indicated above.

ITEM NUMBER D _ 5 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: July 11, 1995 AGENDA ITEM: Report on Internal Audit Function COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: On June 27, 1995, the Board of Supervisors requested a report on the function of an Internal Audit Department. Following is the result of our research and a survey that was conducted among localities in Virginia. "Internal auditing is a series of processes and techniques through which an organization's own employees ascertain for the management, by means of first-hand, on-the job observation, whether: established management controls are adequate and are effectively maintained; records and reports -- financial, accounting and otherwise -- reflect actual operations and results accurately and promptly; and each division, department, or other unit is carrying out the plans, policies and procedures for which it is responsible." (from Auditing: Principles and Procedures, by Holmes and Overmyer) Internal Audit Departments should function under the guidelines of generally accepted professional auditing standards (See Attachment B, provided by our independent auditors, KPMG Peat Marwick). The purpose, authority, and responsibility of the Internal Audit Department should be defined in a formal written document that is approved by management and the Board. Internal Audit Departments function under an annual audit plan, which specifies which areas and audit concerns they will concentrate on during the fiscal year. These are formal written checklists that insure all areas of internal control will be tested at least on a rotating basis. Since objectivity is essential to the successful accomplishment of the audit function, auditing is a staff rather than a line activity. Auditors are professionally prohibited from developing or installing procedures, preparing operational records or engaging in any activities which might give the appearance of conflict of interest. D-5 Attachment A shows the result of data accumulated from various localities across the State. All localities in Virginia larger in population than Roanoke County were contacted. Several did not respond. Three localities smaller than Roanoke County were contacted. The pattern seems to be that localities with populations below 100,000 do not have internal audit functions. Internal Audit Committees in Virginia report to the Finance Director, the Administrator, or the Governing Body. Some of the localities contacted above have provided us with copies of their mission statements, job descriptions, and annual audit workplans, which are fairly lengthy. I will be happy to provide these to you if you desire. Respectfully submitted, Diane D. Hyatt Director of Finance Approv by, .i ~< Elmer C.

AICPA Statements on Auditing Standards for field work and reporting are adopted and incorporated in this statement for government financial and compliance audits. Future statements should be adopted and incorporated, unless GAO excludes them by formal announcement. 2. Additional standards and requirements for government financial and compliance audits. a. Standards on examination and evaluation: (1) Planning shall include consideration of the requirements of all levels of government. (2) A review is to be made of compliance with applicable laws and regulations. (3) A written record of the auditors' work shall be retained in the form of working papers.

Standards on reporting: (1) Written audit reports are to be submitted to the appropriate officials of the organiza- tionaudited and to the appropriate officials of the organizations requiring or arranging for the audits unless legal restrictions or ethical considerations prevent it. Copies of the reports should also be sent to other officials who may be responsible for taking action and to others authorized to receive such reports. Unless restricted by law or regulation, copies should be made available for public inspection. (2) A statement in the auditors' report that the examination was made in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards for financial and compliance audits will be acceptable language to indicate that the audit was made in accordance with these standards. (See ch. V, par. 2b for AICPA-suggested language.)

The accompanying table and graphs will illustrate the conclusions outlined below. Table #1 contains the projected and actual arrest totals for the past fiscal year. This list reveals that the Traffic Unit exceeded the arrest projections for each category listed with the exception of Driving Under the Influence. Graph #1 reports the total fines generated by the Traffic Unit during the fourth quarter of this fiscal year. This chart discloses that the Total Gross Revenue figure ($64,476), exceeds the Projected Revenue ($47,571) by $16,905. In addition, the unit has exceeded the generated funds necessary to compensate for its total costs for the fourth quarter by $ 25,042. Graph #2 concerns the revenue generated by the Traffic Unit during the 1994-1995 fiscal year. This data indicates that the Total Gross Revenue generated ($232,512) exceeded the Projected Revenue ($190,284) by $42,228. Furthermore, the Traffic Unit exceeded the generated funds necessary to compensate for its total yearly costs by $32,584. The generated revenue figures outlined above do not include any additional tax revenue received by the Treasurer's Office. These funds are acquired via the payment of personal property taxes after summonses are issued for violations of the County decal ordinance. However, the department conservatively estimates that $135,000 in additional tax revenues were generated during the last fiscal year. Attachments SUBMITTED BY: H.

This elevation represents 88% of the total reservoir elevation. The present volume is .9 billion gallons, which represents approximately 70% of the total reservoir volume. Please note that for normal County operations in the foreseeable future, we would operate at a water level of 1,370 to 1,380 feet which is less than the current volume. We are intentionally going beyond that level to fully test the dam and identify any areas that might need grouting because this additional capacity may be required for the Roanoke Valley in the long-term future. The engineers and staff are continuing to monitor the dam seepage. The gallery grouting program undertaken this Spring has apparently been successful. The seepage levels in the gallery have remained constant since the grouting was completed even though the reservoir level has increased by 50 feet. By grouting the dam gallery, the seepage has increased along the face of the dam as expected. This seepage appears to be uniform throughout the dam and does not present any concerns at this time. It is anticipated that this seepage will decrease over time. There is also an increase in seepage in the spring located below the dam, indicating that the rock formation feeding the spring has a path to the reservoir. Although this flow is presently less than 100 gpm, the staff and HSMM will probably recommend grouting this spring after the reservoir is filled. The reservoir is still performing quite well. When dam seepage and evaporation are subtracted, there is still a slight positive inflow into the reservoir. The monitoring wells have indicated some movement of water in the reservoir, but to date, they are well within the anticipated limits. The remaining 25 feet in the ~. o-~ reservoir will be critical because these areas are above the initial post spring grout curtain. Water Treatment Plant: Construction is proceeding on schedule with substantial completion scheduled (ability to produce water) for December 1995 and final completion scheduled for May 1996. • The 2-million gallon concrete finished water storage tank is 85% complete. • The main treatment building is 65% complete with the following tasks scheduled for July. 1. Complete installation of pre-cast concrete wall panels. 2. Complete installation of structural steel system. 3. Begin installation of roof on July 10th. 4. Complete installation of 25-ton bridge crane by July 14th. • The GAC building is 35% complete with the following tasks scheduled for July. 1. Complete construction of GAC basin walls. 2. Complete installation of main pipe header. 3. Complete installation of floor slabs. 4. Complete installation of building structural steel system. • The post treatment building is 20% complete with the following tasks scheduled for July. 1. Complete construction of floor slabs. 2. Complete installation of finished water pipe header. 3. Complete installation of building structural steel system. • Construction of the off-site sewage conveyance system for the water treatment facility began during the 3rd week in June. • Construction of the storm drainage collection system began during the lst week of June. • Construction of the curb and gutter and roadway for the access road leading to the main treatment building will begin June 10th. South Transmission Line: The status of each of the seven phases is as follows: • Phase I from Merriman Road to Cotton Hill Road is completed and in service. • Phase II from Cotton Hill Road to Sugar Loaf Mountain Road is 90% complete and is scheduled to be finished in July 1995. • .. • Phase III from Sugar Loaf Mountain Road to Franklin Street is ~,.,~ under construction and is scheduled for completion in (,,/ September 1995. • Phase IV from Franklin Street to Gladden Road is under construction with completion in August 1995. • Phase V from Gladden Road to Poor Mountain Road is under construction with completion scheduled in November 1995. • Phase VI from Poor Mountain Road to Spring Hollow Reservoir is under contract and scheduled to begin construction in July 1995 with completion in November 1995. • Phase VII from Poor Mountain Road to the Glenvar Pump Station at Valley TechPark is under contract and scheduled to begin construction in August 1995 with completion in December 1995. This phase is not in the critical path for bringing water to South County. Glenvar Pump Station: This project was substantially completed in April 1995. The contractor is presently working on the punch list items in order to close out the project. North Transmission Line: • A public meeting was held in April 1995 to obtain public comments on the alternate transmission line routes. • A primary route has been selected based upon the public comments and interconnection points to the existing County water systems. • Aerial mapping is being prepared and will be used as the base map for the subsequent field surveying. The completion of the aerial mapping and start of the field surveying is expected in the second week of July. • The first phase of construction from the Valley Techpark to Alleghany Road is expected to begin in February 1996.

Although there was water in many basements that presented inconveniences for those affected, there was no major damage reported to either the 9-1-1 center or Fire and Rescue offices. A County damage assessment team consisting of Deputy Emergency Services Coordinator Joey Stump, Jon Vest of the V.P.I. Extension Office and Charles Vaden of the County Assessors Office discussed the need for disaster assistance. We are required to file an initial damage report within 24 hours to be followed by a detailed report within 72 hours after the emergency to the Department of Emergency Services in Richmond. There are two types of assistance available, public and individual. There was no major damage to public property (road and bridge damage is reported by the Virginia Department of Transportation), and there was no reported major damage to individual properties or agriculture areas. A threshold dollar figure of $75,000 is the guideline used in determining whether to report or not. After surveying areas where there had been problems the night before and the fact that no one had reported any major damage, it was determined that there Baas not $75,000 of reportable damage. A decision was made not to request a local emergency declaration or to file a damage assessment report with the State Department of Emergency Services. County staff has assisted several residents with minor problems experienced during this time. Submitted by, Approved by, ~~ T. C. Fuqua. Chief Elmer C.

ITEM NUMBER • AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: July 11, 1995 AGENDA ITEM: Work Session on Land Use Program with regards to Forestry and Golf Courses. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: Effective May 19, 1995, the Department of Forestry discontinued providing Forest Management Plans, leaving our office with 24 taxpayers without a plan (please see attachment A-l, A-2 and A-3) . All forestry parcels have not been mapped into specific productivity classes (excellent/good/fair). There are three (3) golf courses that are participating in the open space category of our land use program (Hanging Rock, Brookside, and Hunting Hills). BACKGROUND: FORESTRY PLAN: At the present time, there are 515 property owners participating in the forestry program of which twenty-four owners have not received a forest management plan or a stewardship plan. The Attorney General's Office has reviewed and approved a commitment form for Forestry Land Use Evaluation, which can be accepted in lieu of a forest management or stewardship plan (please see attachment B-1 and B-2). PRODUCTIVITY CLASSES: The Department of Forestry has furnished our office with 472 forest management plans and nineteen stewardship plans. At the beginning of this process, we were receiving soil breakdowns, but due to a time factor, the breakdown process was eliminated leaving the majority of parcels without soil classes (please see attachment C-1). Based on current information available to our staff, qualifying land has been classified as productive or nonproductive. To date, an averaging process on productive forest ~~ '~- I land has been used whereby values for good and fair forestry, as provided by the State Land Evaluation Advisory Council (SLEAC), were averaged together to determine a rate which would be applied to all qualifying forested land (please see attachment C-2). The value for excellent forested land was not used in the averaging process as Roanoke County has very little forested land which would qualify as excellent. The nonproductive forested land is assessed at the SLEAC suggested nonproductive land rate. After consultation with the County Attorney's office, we will continue to assess the forested land under the productive/nonproductive method and averaging the productive rate until all forest use land can be classified into the more specific productivity classes. GOLF COURSES: According to the newspaper article concerning Albemarle County, their Board of Supervisors is considering excluding privately owned golf courses from the "open space" program (attachment D-1, D-2, and D-3). After discussions with the Department of Taxation, it is thought that this action is questionable since we have private timber companies receiving land use status. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: FORESTRY PLAN: As an alternative to a forest management plan or a stewardship plan, we plan to accept a commitment form for Forestry Land Use Evaluation similar to the sample provided (attachment B-2), which has been approved by the Attorney General's office. PRODUCTIVITY CLASSES: Continue to use averaging procedure until all forestry properties have been mapped according to their soil classes. Staff is investigating to see if the soil conservation maps are in a digital format where this information could be overlaid on Roanoke County's GIS Base Map (Software, timetable, and costs are ,, undeterminable at this time). ~~ F GOLF COURSES: Recommend no change at this time. ec ully sub to ~ Approv d by,` :.rr~~ John W.

Box 29800 Roanoke, VA 2=1018 Dear Mr. Birckhead: Bob Boeren has advised me that your office has requested that he review approximately 600 land use plans that were previously prepared by Rob Trickel of our Department. I understand that you wish for him to reclassify all of the parcels within ownerships into more specific land productivity classes of excellent, good, and fair designations. The procedure used by the Department of Forestry across the state has been to verify that a property has 20 acres of woodland ,and perform a site examination. My concern with your request is a time factor that would be involved for Boeren to revise the 600 plans. It would take a minimum of one hour for each ownership, to update the information. This would be a full-time job for nearly four months. We just don't have the personnel time to take on a project of this magnitude. As you probably know, state agencies are taking some heavy cuts in personnel this year. The Department of Forestry is looking at the possibility of a 20% reduction across the state by the end of April. I understand that Bob Boeren has been providing soils information for the last 70 or so plans. We will not be able to do this any longer. The only requirement that the Department of Forestry has is to verify that the tract of land has the minimum acreage required for forest land use. The Department will continue sending you soils productivity information from our state headquarters in Charlottesville so that your office can make soil productivity determinations. If you feel that we need to discuss this subject any further, please contact me. Sincerely, (// ' Frank E.

The Board then requested that a work session be scheduled to discuss the budget implications of the change. Attached is a copy of a letter from Dr. Molly Rutledge concerning the Public Health Service Plan for the Fifth Planning District. You will recall that Dr. Rutledge was asked to serve not only as Director of the Alleghany Health District, but also as Director of the Roanoke City Health District upon the resignation in December 1993 of their Director. Since that time, Dr. Rutledge's staff and other consultants have studied the advantages and disadvantages of combining the two Health Districts. In addition to this change, the Workforce Transition Act has been implemented which is causing a loss of 10 employees to the Alleghany District and 25 employees to the Roanoke District. ~~ The plan involves shifting more of the responsibility to the private sector and uses economy of scale. This appears to be a good plan for our region. Dr. Rutledge plans to be present on July 11 to discuss the impact of this new service plan and answer any questions that you might have.

Rutledge, M.D.~ Director Allegheny and Roanoke City Health Districu MLR/kjd .> Pl1BLIC HEALTH SERVICE PLAN FOR THE FIFTH PLANNING DISTRICT (Submitted by Molly L. Rutledge, M.D. on behalf of the Management Teams and Staff of both the Alleghany and Roanoke Ciry Health Distrito on May 3l, 1995) BACKGROUND: In December, 1993, the Medical Director for the Roanoke Ciry Health District resigned, leaving a vacant Heaith Director position in Roanoke Ciry. At that time, I was asked to consider serving as Health Director for both the Alleghany and Roanoke Ciry Heaith Distrito by the Community Health Services Operations Director for the Virginia Department of Health. 1 agreed to serve as the Acting Health Director for the Roancke Ciry Health District and to proceed facilitating a process by which the mana;en and the staff of both the Alleghany and Roanoke Ciry Health Distrito could research the benefiu of combining public health services between the two districu. A~cvork group,' was convened by staff, supervisors, and managers in both districu to study the advantages and disadvantages of combining public health services in the two districu and through the beneficial contact with the Healthy People 2000 Project of the CDC, tive were visited by a•Coruultant; Dr. William Orthoeffer who had facilitated two health district mergers in his career in the mid-West. Dr. Orthoeffer conducted a cursory analysis of our public health situation in the Fifth Planning District. His ultimate recommendation was that the two districu should merge. Following the research phase of the combined work group, a reco_m~endation was made to the Management Teams of both the Alleghany and Roanoke Gry Health District to begin combining services at the program level to seek the biessin of each localiry in combining services, and to work toward developing an eventual management structure to support the combine services. At that time, a Joint Management Team was formed from representatives of the two district management teams, the purpose of which was to facilitate the evolvement of both dutricu toward performing duties similarly and to facilitate the combining of services as identified by staff and supervisors as appropriate. An actual programmatic combination plan was developed by the winter of 1995. In March, 1995, the Workforce Transition Act (WTA) was introduced, resulting in the loss 0 employees in the Alleghany Health District and 25 employees in the Roanoke c'i HPatrh ~~~trict, reducing the full-trine public health force by 20% throughout the Fifth Planning District. On April 5, 1995, staff from both districts were invited to meet to discuss the future of public health services in the Fifth Planning District and there was a general consensus that the WTA was certainly going to force the combination issue in a much swifter fashion than had been previously planned. It was realized that by May 1, much of the Management Team of Roanoke Ciry and a majority of the administrative support staffwouid no longer be in service. All clinicians, except for the Health Director in the Alleghany Health District, would be lost and multiple other key public health positions would be Lost to the WTA. 1 ~~ Consequently, the staff which assembled in April to begin visioning for the future were charged to participate in a process called "scenario planning" as described by Peter Swartz in his book The Art of the Long View. Through this process each subgroup addressing public health service deliveries would develop three possible scenarios which represent poinu along the continuum of conservative to very creative for possibilities of future service delivery of those particular programs. Eight assumptions were identified as boundaries to be utilized during the scenario planning: 1. !t was an assumption that the 35 employees who applied for the WTA would be accepted. 2. Some activities could be discontinued. 3. We must think interdisciplinarily and interlocaliry. 4. The needs of the localities would vary and services must be tailored co meet each localities' needs. 5. No reassignment to another locality against the will of an employee would be mandated; however, reassignmenu are possible and borrowing and sharing can occur. 6. Mandated services will continue. 7. There will be a new order of doing business. 8. We must help each ocher see things differently. Ten work groups were assembled to proceed with the scenario planning and each work group was represented by multiple localities and multiple disciplines. The work groups included: Communicable Disease Surveillance and Investigation; Environmental Health; Child Health and Immunizations; Adult Health and Pharmacy; Home Health; Lab; Family Planning; Matemai Health; Vital Records; and Health Education. On May 1st, the work groups reassembled and each group presented their three scenarios to all interested staff in both districu. Upon the conclusion of that meeting, from the scenarios the staff decided that the Joint Management Team should develop a template of services which we would teed to deliver beginning jtiTy 1, 991 5 The Joint Management Team accepted this charge and asked chat each work group sen to them their priority choice of the scenarios developed within the respective work groups, as well as a request of what would be needed from management in order to implement the chosen scenarios. As a result of the scenario planning and the perspective of the Joint Management Team, the following report was developed to include the six major functions of public health, a description of those functions, and an annotation of the changes which will occur as a result of our decision to do things differently, to try to combine services, and as a result of the Workforce Traruition Act. INTRODl1CT1ON: Traditionally, public health has had six core functions which are population-based. Those include: Identification and Monitoring of Community Health Problems; Communicable Disease Control; Health Promotion and Disease Prevention; Emironmentai Health Protection; Personal Preventive Health Care; and Insuring Access to Needed Care. As reported in the N1H report The Future of Public Health. many public health departmenu across the country became encumbered with primary health care for the indigent in the 1960s and this indigent primary health care service has disallowed the delivery of many of the other core public health services. There has been a movement in the public health community since the NIH report on the future of public health to reestablish the traditional core public health functions at the local level and one benefit of our analysis and plan is that the Fifth Planning District will try to reassume a more uaditional approach to providing population-based services. 2 ~+ Since public health financial support comes from both the State and the localities, the number one consideration in redefining public health services is to meet the particular need of an individual locality ' fiat and foremost and the recognition chat different Localities within the Fifth Planning District have different public health needs. Additionally, it has been well recognized that Roanoke Ciry has evolved into a much more specialized public health workforce than the Alleghany Health District, where generalization has been maintained throughout the years. This will give us a unique opponuniry to join forces for better service delivery to our customers. Both districu are perceived to be well managed and customer focused and both districu have made a commitment [o continuous quality improvement as well as team decision-making. To that end, 1 will proceed. Public health services in the Fifth Planning District beginning July 1, 1995 will include: I. IDENTIFICATION AND MONITORING OF COMMCINITY HEALTH PROBLEMS: SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED CHANGES A. Mobilize Community Partnerships such as Changes wilt include an increased activity in this RAHP, CHIP, and an indigent Care area as public health tries to provide some System leadership and expertise in collaborative health care problem-solving and monitoring. B. Performing of Needs Assessmenu (Improve processes. C. Health Policy and Planning Previously public health professionals have had little time to influence public policy for the health - of the citizens and we plan to increase this activity in the near future. D. Vital Records Handling All localities are required to have a Vital Records Registrar accessible to them. It is hoped that through the combining of services, we can explore the potential for the coordination of services in the Roanoke Valley where there are currently three localities with Registrars serving the same constituenu. This may also apply to Covington and Clifton Forge. We need to continue efficiency measures at each local health deparunent level in preparation for decentralization of birth certificates to the localities. E. Disaster Preparedness and Response We will plan to collaborate more intensively with Emergency Medical Services at the local level in disaster preparedness in the future. 3 lI. COMMUNICABLE DISEASE CONTROL: SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED CHANGES A. Disease Surveillance It is vital that disease surveillance continue at the locality level with increased emphasis on educating the medical community to improve their habits of reporting disease evenu. B. Contact Tracing, Treatment, and It is hoped that in this area there can be significant Prophylaxis of Communicable Disease coordination, some consolidation of screening and treatment services, including refugee services between the Alleghany and the Roanoke Ciry Health Districu. Additionally we would like to develop a formalized communications network to link the Alle;hany Health District generalist knowledge to the Roanoke Ciry Health District specialist knowledge for a fast, accurate, cheap, and eary information exchange, which will allow us to give more emphasis to customer service. C. Outbreak (nvestigations Outbreak investigations need to be initiated at the local level, in conjunction with ocher public health disciplines with support and back-up from other IOCdlItleS. D. Immunizations Again, particularly in the Roanoke Valley, some coordination and perhaps even some consolidation of immunization activities, both for adults and children can be considered and our plan is to continue increasing our immunization activities at each locality level. [II. HEALTH PROMOTION AND DISEASE PREVENTION: A. Nutrition Counseling and Distribution of W1C Voucher to Eligible Ciienu We obviously want to continue nutrition counseling and W1C activities as funding allows and perhaps collaborate in the Roanoke Valley, particularly for the maternity patienu and allow a nurse from either locality to enter eligible clients at Carillon OB/GYN Clinic and Lewis-Gale Clinic into W1G 4 - ~ ° ~+~. B. Health Education Changes include a merger of employee health and employee fitness programs into a comprehensive program for both the Alleghany and Roanoke City Health Districu. Additionally, the current health education, Heal~hy Differences efforts shall become integrated with each of the local health deparanent services. The current Healthy Differences staff can be available and accessible for training, consultation, and support for all health department personnel. Since health education is a core public health program, it is hoped that both PHN's and Environmental Health Specialise can increase this activiry in the future. D. Smoking Cessation, Weight Control These services will continue to increase Classes (such as NoonLighting) . E. Health Screenings (such as Blood Pressure, These services will continue to be promoted and Cholesterols, Mammograms, Pap Smears) sponsored through health department activities. IV. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PROTECTION: SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED CHANGES All environmental health services are mandated The staff between the two districts have identified either through State law or local ordinance. (t is areas of expertise which can be exchanged and the thought that each service needs to continue at the local level These include largest change is to proceed with a combination of . : the district management swcture and perhaps A. Food Protection even office space, and to proceed with the B. On-Site Drinking Water Protection recruitment of a lead management position to cover both the Allegharry and the Roanoke Ciry C. On-Site Wastewater Protection Health Disvicu. D. Rabies Convol E. Environmental Health Hazard Investigations F. Migrant Labor Camp Sanitation Convol G. Tourist Establishment Sanitation Convol H. Technical Assistance for Environmental " Issues I. Childhood Lead Poisoning Investigations J. Housing K. Insect and Rodent Convol V V. PERSONAL AND PREVENTIVE HE ALTH CARE; SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED CHANGES A. Pre- and Post-Natal Care We will continue to provide prenatal care (n the Health Department clinics through the agreemenu with Carillon residenu. In the Alleghany Highlands we will continue to provide pre- and post-natal care to indigent women through our agreement with Alleghany Regional Hospital. We would like to increase our focus and market case management, MICC, and post-delivery home follow-up and support increased nutritional services for WIC. B. Family Planning We would Like to maintain the Family Plannin g contraceptive services utilizing clinicians from the community. We hope to increase caseloads to meet the needs and demands for the services at the loca((ry level. C. Well Child Care and Development We wish to continue the mandated services which include WIC, immunizations, EPSDT, preschool physicals for the indigent population and . preventive physical exams per our current agreemenu. We would like to collaborate with Carillon and local pediatricians to develop a seamless system of health services for children whereby sick and preventive care would be maintained by a private pediatricians from 0 to 4 years old and we would begin taking care of the mandated population at age 5 with the preschool physical and continue case finding and age appropriate preventive exams. This would frt with an increased emphasis on case management and MICC and this wilt also require us to reevaluate MEDALLION participation in the Roanoke Gry Health District and privatizing pediatric silt care to Carillon and other pediatricians in the community. We wilt continue the dental health program in both the Alleghany and Roanoke City Health Districu (limiting PHN involvement in school health and continue our partnerships with CHIP and RAHP). ., '" VI. ENSllRING ACCESS TO NEEDED CARE: SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED CHANGES A. Adult Services We wish to collaborate with Lewis-Gale, Carillon, and ocher community leaders with a vested interest in health care to develop aValley-wide rystem of primary care for the indigent population. In the meantime, we will need to discontinue acute and prevention health maintenance clinics in both the Alleghany and Roanoke Ciry Health Distrito and provide for a smooth transition of these patieno in[o [he private medical community. Our current negotiations reveal probability with the Carillon system. We would like to develop a triage referral system staffed by the PHN's and promote the use of the Pharmacy and lab services with streamlining of our Curren[ process for greater speed and efficiency and hopefully [o increase our prescriptive capacity for greater numbers of people. By January 1st, we hope co have [he pharmacies from both districu located within one site. B. Sick Care for Indigent Children A system will be developed in collaboration with .. the private pediatric senor to assure access for this population at the locality level. C. Children's Specialty Services We will continue our involvement with Children's Specialty Services through eligibility and coordination at this time. In the near future, we will insure access to the child development clinic and in the future perhaps even assume the management of this activity. D. Early Intervention with Children with We will continue our involvement. - Disabilities (Part H) E. Medicaid Nursing Home Screening We will maintain our current involvement. F. Comprehensive Services Act Provisions We will maintain the current level of involvement. G. Case Management We will increase maternity and pediatric case management. H. Counseling and Support for Teen Mothers We will maintain and enhance our Resource Mothers programs throughout the Distrito. 7 •~ i ~- I. Lab Services We will continue the existing conuacu and expand as needed throughout both districts and market lab availability as we collaborate with private physicians for assurance of indigent care as the Roanoke City Health Department can provide some needed lab services at a more reasonable cost. ). Home Health We will proceed with home health service expansion in the Fifth Planning District as a separate business entity with district teams as the work unit can be self-supporting. K. ADL Services We will market and deliver ADL services in the Roanoke Valley, Botetourt, and Gaig, with continued evaluation of the administrative and supervision structure of the work unit. It is clear that this reduction in primary care activities in Roanoke City, as well as preventive health care services in the Alleghany Health District is necessitated by the loss of clinicians, the Workforce Trarurrion Act, and will be perceived as a loss by many citizens in the community. We do hope, however, to facilitate the development of an improved rystem of indigent care delivery throughout the Fifth Planning District and assure better services as a result. Additionally, the discontinuation of utilization of those energies in clinical services wit( allow staff to be involved in collaborative rystem development, policy, and more health education. It is obvious that an administrative support rystem is the next thing to be designed to support the new service delivery. Plans will be underway shortly to develop this. The first steps for implementing this plan are to get conceptual agreement at each locality (eve( that this is an appropriate way to proceed for the localities' perspective. Assuming that we have appropriate funds to move forward, we will begin developing an implementation plan during the month of June, 1995.

The position by the state has been that under the Cooperative Health Program, the localities should share in the cost of these buyouts in the same fashion as other operating expenses. Current estimates show that in the Salem/Roanoke County offices we will lose 5.8 FTE. The local (Roanoke County share) of the cost of the buyouts to purchase retirement credits, etc. is $36,707 for FY 1994-95 and $11,702 far FY 1995-96. Most of the buyouts result in the loss of the FTE to the local Health Department as well as the state share of the funding. One of the problems encountered is that the loss of positions does not necessarily match a planned program cut back. As a result, the cost of continuing a service may have to be locally funded or to have a change in the scope and level of services provided. Budget requests from the Health Department were submitted on the basis of having the same number of positions as were authorized last year. As of this date, we do not know how the state will address the service needs and the impact to the local communities. We understand the Governor's desire to reduce the state workforce, however, the impact to service and the impact to clients is being felt at the local level without an across the board reduction in the service expectations. The Virginia Municipal League representative has indicated that they will advise me of the results of the Senate Finance Committee discussions to see if we can determine any further impact to Roanoke County. I will try to have that information for the work session on July 11, 1995. cc Elmer Hodge Molly Rutledge VIRGINIA MUNICIPAL LEAGUE Thirteen EpSr FTanKiin PO Box 12184 RlChmonCl,VA 23241 8QA18a9-8471 July 6, I995 SLA N TO: VML KEY OFFTCIALS'WITH M1rMB s N SENATE FI"l~TANCE COMNII.TTEE FROM: R Michael Amyx, Executive Directo RE: Tarly Retirements in Huth Dapartmcnta t7n Friday rnorn.ing, July 7, the Senate Finance Conututtee will discuss the effects on health departments of the employee buyout offered to state employees (otherwise known as the 'Workforce Transition Act). Recent CAR5 expenditure reports for the cooperative health budget includes the employee buyout costs. The CARS system is a state accounting system theft shows expenditures of state agencies. Local governments make their contributions for health departments based on these reports. If local governments pay then share of the cooperative health budget ba~eei uii tlic ras.~ulitw c~ reflected on the recent reports, they will be .helping to fund the cost ofthe termination packages granted to health department employees. One VML member had its city attorney review this issue,, and he advised that the state Department of Health is responsible for these costs. As a result, the city; has decided not to pay that portion of the bill. The state T-Iealth I]epartment maintains that the local contribution requirement is explicit and that Iocal governments must pay their share Aocardang to the cooperative health 1,udget formula. Please contact your member on the Senate Finance Committee today, ,Poly 6, to express ~~ncera over this issue and to indicate your Iocality's unwillingr-ess to absorb costs assoaated with the employee buyout plan, Local governments were not a party to the development of this act and, further, local governments had no say as to which health department employees could participate in the buyout. Betty Long with V_ML sent information on this issue to ati budget directors om June 19. Your budget director may be able to give you assistance in evaluating phis issue. At this point, we da not know the impact ofthe employee buyout on a health department-by-department basis; the state Health T7epartment will supply that information at the meeting om Friday. bS~60 56~ 90 ~fli 5001;00-d SLS-1 9S9-d 8<,i/Z0/95 1Z:50:Z5 804-343-3758, VML-~ 703 77Z Z1B6 W.

Hyatt ~ ~- Date: July 7, 1995 Subject: Mailing of Monthly Utility Bills o~ I~cner Hodge Due to the Fourth of July holidays, the citizens will be receiving their utility bills later than the fifth of the month. Since this is the first billing on the monthly utility billing program, and we do not want the citizens to be inconvenienced by this delay we are inserting a stuffer in the bills that explains we will be allowing them until the 30th of the month for payment rather than the 20th as stated on the bills. In order to allow these extra days for payment, to allow the mail to clear, and to assist the citizens in the adjustment to monthly billing, we will be waiving the penalties for late payment at the end of July. We will return to our schedule with the bills that will go out at the first of August. Please call me if you have any concerns.

Fuqua DATE: July 7, 1995 SUBJECT: Disaster Assistance The rain storms of WednPCCtAy, June 28, 1,995, created floaditng conditions in several areas of Roanoke County. Although there was water in many basements that presented inconveniences for those affected there was no ma}or damage reported to either the 9-],-J, center or Fire and Rescue offices. A County damage assessment team consisting of Deputy Emergency Services Coordlnator Joey Stump, Jon Vest of the V.P.I. Extension office and Charles Vaden of the County Assessors office discussed the need for disaster assistance. We are required to file an initial damage report within 24 hours to be followed by a detailed report within 72 hours after the emergency to Department of Emergency Services in Richmond. There are two types of assistance available, public and individual. There was no major damage to public property (road attd bridge damage is reported by V.D.Q.T.) and no reported major damage to individual properties or agriculture areas. A threshold dollar figure of X75,000 is the guideline used for determining whether to report or not. After surveying areas where there had been problems the night before and the fact that no one had reported any major damage, it was determined there was not $75,000 of reportable damage. A decision was made not to request a local emergency declaration or to i"i1e a damage assessment report with the State Department of .Emergency Services, County staff has assisted several residents with Honor problems experienced during this timC.
