AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: January 2, 1997
AGENDA ITEM: RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A MEETING SCHEDULE FOR THE
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY FOR CALENDAR
YEAR 1997 AND ADOPTING RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR SUCH
MEETING
~"'OUN'T'Y MINT S'~'R_A'1'OR' S COMMENTS
In January of every year the Board of Supervisors reorganizes
itself by electing a chairperson and vice-chairperson, by
establishing a meeting schedule for the upcoming year, and by
adopting rules of procedure. The attached resolution suggests a
meeting schedule for the calendar year 1997 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).
Only one meeting scheduled for August (August 19, 1997) (often
the need for formal board action decreases in the summer
months, an abbreviated meeting schedule is followed by many
localities).
The Board may consider two alternatives for meetings during
the month of November. Staff recommends the alternative set
out in the prepared resolution which provides for one meeting
in November on Tuesday, November 18. The second alternative
is to schedule two meetings in November - Wednesday, November
12 and Tuesday, November 25. Election Day is Tuesday,
November 4; Veteran's Day (State and Federal holiday) is
Tuesday, November 11. The Virginia Association of Counties
routinely schedules its annual meeting for the second weekend
in November (in this case, November 9 through 11).
Thanksgiving is scheduled for November 27.
Two regular meetings are proposed for the first and third
weeks of December (December 2 and December 16). If meetings
1
were held on December 9 and 23, this second meeting would
conf 1 ict with the first day of Hanukkah .
The 1998 organizational meeting is scheduled for Monday,
January 5, 1997.
Next, the Board will note that the rules of procedure are the
same as previously adopted by the Board.
It is recommended that the Board consider the adoption of the
attached resolution.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: January 2, 1997
AGENDA ITEM: 1997 Legislative Program
Meeting with Legislators
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Board requested a meeting with the members of the Roanoke Valley General
Assembly legislative delegation to discuss Roanoke County's legislative program for the
1997 session.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Attached you will find a copy of the Resolution adopted on December 3, 1996 which
adopted a legislative program for the 1997 session of the Virginia General Assembly.
Since then several Board members have suggested additions to this list of legislative
initiatives: grant of franchising authority to counties similar to power granted to cities (to
take advantage of provisions of the federal Telecommunications Act); and opposition to the
New Century Council initiative to be designated as a regional planning agency.
Messrs. Thomas and Woodrum have indicated that they will attend; Messrs.
Cranwell's and Edward's offices have advised that this is on their calendars, and Messrs.
Griffith and Trumbo cannot attend.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that we emphasize the following five priority issues:
1) Increase funding for public education, and more particularly, assist localities
in capital construction and renovation projects;
2) Support legislation appropriating additional funds and directing the State
Compensation Board to modify staffing standards for local jails and court
services positions for sherifYs offices;
3) Support legislation to restore the balance to the rebuttal process for
heart/lung cancer presumption in Workers' Compensation;
4) Support additional new construction and maintenance funding for VDOT
secondary and primary roads; and
5) Oppose any efforts to eliminate or restrict local powers of taxation for
personal property tax and BPOL.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY,
VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER ON
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1996
RESOLUTION x.20396-2 ADOPTING LEGISLATIVE
PROGRAM FOR THE 1997 SESSION OF THE VIRGINIA
GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND PETITIONING THE GENERAL
ASSEMBLY FAVORABLY TO CONSIDER THE TOPICS AND
ISSUES ADDRESSED HEREIN
WHEREAS the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia,
has identified major legislative issues of state-wide concern to be
considered by the 1997 session of the Virginia General Assembly;
and
WHEREAS, the Board has recommended these issues to its state-
wide .organization, the Virginia Association of Counties, for
consideration in the adoption of its legislative program; and
WHEREAS, the Board adopts this resolution as part of the
Legislative Program of Roanoke County for the 1997 session of the
Virginia General Assembly.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Board of Supervisors of
Roanoke County, Virginia, that the following legislative proposals
are submitted to the 1997 Virginia General Assembly for its
favorable consideration and adoption.
I.
A. Education. Realizing that public education is the
foundation of American democracy and the cornerstone of our future
economic well being, the County urges the General Assembly to
consider favorably the following actions.
1j The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia
should be amended to provide that elected school boards may be
granted the authority and responsibility for taxation to support
1
~-
public education.
2) The General Assembly should enhance funding for
public education, including increasing the funds available to the
Literary Fund for local school capital construction or renovation
projects.
3) Local school divisions should be authorized to
establish opening dates for school.
4) Disparity funding should be based not only upon the
number of students eligible for free or reduced fee lunches, but
also upon the locality's local tax effort in support of education.
Disparity funding should be based upon the composite index (which
measures a locality's relative fiscal ability to provide its share
of the cost of a local school system that meets the standards of
quality) and the locality's local effort in support of that school
system.
B. Roanoke County supports legislation amending the
heart/lung/cancer presumption statute for Workers' Compensation to
restore balance to the rebuttal process. Compensability shall be
determined by establishing whether work or non-work related risk
factors (life-style choices such as smoking, poor nutritional
habits, lack of exercise, or obesity, or non-work related stress
and familial history) are more likely the primary cause of the
medical condition. In addition, Roanoke County opposes any further
expansion of this statute.
C. Roanoke County supports legislation relieving local
governments of the responsibility of meeting recycling rates on all
wastes collected by private haulers and diverted from waste
2
disposal facilities identified to receive such wastes as set out in
the local solid waste management plan. This legislation should
also require that private haulers diverting such wastes be held
accountable and responsible to meeting the same recycling rates and
requirements as the local governments.
Section 10.1-1411 imposes a 25% recycling mandate on local
governments. The 1995 session of the General Assembly adopted the
Waste Hauler Displacement Bill which severely limited the ability
of local governments to regulate the flow of waste. This proposal
would relieve local governments of the responsibility of meeting
this recycling mandate on all wastes collected by private haulers.
It would also require that private haulers be subject to the same
recycling mandates as local governments.
D. Roanoke County supports additional new construction and
maintenance funding for the Virginia Department of Transportation
for secondary and primary roads. Additional funding for new
construction projects will address critical transportation needs of
all local governments. Additional maintenance funding shall be
used for an expanded program to mow grass and weeds, and inspect
and clean drainage pipes and culverts.
E. Roanoke County supports allowing the disposal of land
clearing vegetative debris (including tree stumps) in less
expensive facilities in a manner not detrimental to the
environment. This would require groundwater and methane gas
monitoring, financial assurances from the owner/operator, and local
governing body certification of compliance with all local
ordinances.
3
F. Roanoke County supports legislation amending Section
14.1-46.0:1 to increase the salary supplement for the Chairman of
the Board of Supervisors from $1,800 to $2,500 per year.
G. Roanoke County supports continued and increased funding
for the Comprehensive Services Act, the Virginia Community Juvenile
Crime Control Act, the Family Preservation Act, local police
departments (HB 599 funding), and the Regional Competitiveness Act.
H. Roanoke County opposes the provisions of H.B. 1513
(legislation carried over from the 1996 session) which would shift
more of the costs of water and sewer facilities and operations from
the homebuilders to the individual consumers. This legislation
claims only to require "fair and reasonable" water and sewer
connection fees, yet its practical effects are to shift costs and
expenses to the existing utility customer, jeopardize new and
existing revenue bond covenants, and impose a "one size fits all"
mandate on local governments and water and sewer authorities.
I. Roanoke County opposes any attempt to restrict or
eliminate local sources of taxation, including personal property
taxation and business and professional occupational licensing.
J. Roanoke County supports authority to impose an additional
one-half percent (2%) local option sales tax.
K. Roanoke County supports expanding local authority to
create transportation districts, to impose local option motor
vehicle fuels taxes, and to expend these tax proceeds for local
transportation improvements..
L. Roanoke County supports authority to establish escrow
accounts for storm water facilities.
4
.,
M. Roanoke County supports legislation to relieve
Treasurer's from liability for the loss of market value of Trigon
stock as a result of de-mutualization.
N. Roanoke County supports legislation appropriating funds
and directing the State Compensation Board to modify staffing
standards for local jails and court services positions for
Sheriff's offices.
O. Roanoke County supports amending Chapter 6.1, "Virginia
Tire Tax" of Title 58.1, "Taxation" (a) to increase the tine tax
from $.50 to $1.25, and (b) to direct and authorize the Department
of Waste Management to utilize the increased Waste Tire Trust Fund
to remediate illegal or abandoned waste tire dumps.
P. Roanoke County supports full funding of the state aid
formula for public libraries (currently only 74% of this amount is
funded, full funding would increase Roanoke County's share by
$71,000 per year); and state funding for technological development
and support.
Q. Roanoke County supports the creation of a small claims
court for the 23rd District.
R. Roanoke County supports the 5th Planning District
Commission's recommendation to establish a Year of the Mountains
Task Force to examine opportunities and problems facing communities
in the region of Virginia west of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
II.
That the Clerk to the Board of Supervisors is directed to send
a certified copy of this resolution to the members of the General
Assembly representing the Roanoke Valley, to the Clerk's Office of
5
the House of Delegates and Senate of the General Assembly, to the
Town Council of the Town of Vinton, City Councils of the City of
Salem and the City of Roanoke, and the Boards of Supervisors of the
Counties of Bedford, Botetourt, Craig, Floyd, Franklin, and
Montgomery counties, and to the Virginia Association of Counties.
On motion of Supervisor Minnix to adopt the Resolution with
the additions of paragraphs P, Q, and R, and carried by the
following recorded vote:

MEMO
To: Board of Supervisors
From: Elmer C. Hodge
Subj: 1997 Holiday Schedule
Date: December 30, 1996
In recent months we have discussed County holidays on a number of occasions.
Some of you have indicated that you want to make changes to the current schedule.
We have prepared the attached agenda item that can be added to the organizational
meeting on January 2 if you wish. If the concern is for the impact on our
"customers", you may wish to float some of the holidays that are considered minor.
If you, wish to leave the schedule as it is, we do not need to add this to the agenda
for discussion. My recommendation is to leave the holiday schedule as it is, with an
almost equal preference for "floating" some of the holidays.
Also attached is a chart that we have previously given to you showing the holiday
schedules in other localities throughout the state.

offices. The handbook also notes that the Board of Supervisors can
amend the holiday schedule at any time and increase or decrease the
number of holidays observed.

Board of Supervisors. The 1997 proposed dates are included in
parentheses.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the holiday schedule remain unchanged. Since
the Board of Supervisors adopted this schedule several years ago,
all County employees including state funded and constitutional
offices have followed the same schedule which provided consistency
for all employees and eliminated confusion by the citizens. If
there is concern because the offices are closed on holidays, the
Board may wish to establish several floating holidays which would
keep the County offices open on those holidays.
If the Board wishes to permanently change the holiday schedule, the
Employee Handbook should be amended to reflect the change.

MEMO
To: Board of Supervisors
From: Elmer C. Hodge
Subj: 1997 Holiday Schedule
Date: December 30, 1996
In recent months we have discussed County holidays on a number of occasions.
Some of you have indicated that you want to make changes to the current schedule.
We have prepared the attached agenda item that can be added to the organizational
meeting on January 2 if you wish. If the concern is for the impact on our
"customers", you may wish to float some of the holidays that are considered minor.
If you wish to leave the schedule as it is, we do not need to add this to the agenda
for discussion. My recommendation is to leave the holiday schedule as it is, with an
almost equal preference for "floating" some of the holidays.
Also attached is a chart that we have previously given to you showing the holiday
schedules in other localities throughout the state.
ACTION NO.
ITEM NUMBER
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: January 2, 1997
AGENDA ITEM: Establishment of Holiday Schedule for 1997
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
BACKGROUND:
In January 1988, the Board of Supervisors established a permanent
holiday schedule. The schedule was included in the Employee
Handbook when it was adopted in January 1989 and again in January
1995. Until that time, the schedule was brought to the Board for
approval in January of each year.
At the time of adoption, the Board based its decision on
consistency of all departments including constitutional and state
offices. The handbook also notes that the Board of Supervisors can
amend the holiday schedule at any time and increase or decrease the
number of holidays observed.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Listed below is the current schedule in the handbook adopted by the
Board of Supervisors. The 1997 proposed dates are included in
parentheses.

The Employee Handbook also reserves the right to the Board of
Supervisors to amend the holiday schedule at any time and increase
or decrease the number of holidays observed.
The Board of Supervisors has several alternatives to consider
regarding the current holiday schedule.
(1) Keep the schedule as it is.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Supervisor f6~~
FROM: Paul M. Mahoney ~~~ 1
DATE: 19 December 1996 v
SUBJECT: Meeting with Legislators
At your meeting on December 17,1996, you directed me to suggest four or five key legislative
items to discuss with the area legislators during our meeting on January 2,1997. In reviewing
the Board's legislative program I have identified the following items for priority discussion.
1. The General Assembly should increase funding for public education, and more
particularly, assist localities in capital construction and renovation projects. (In addition,
should we encourage support for local option taxing authority for elected school boards?)
2. Support for legislation to restore the balance to the rebuttal process for
heart/lung/cancer presumption in Workers' Compensation.
3. Support for legislation appropriating additional funds and directing the State
Compensation Board to modify staffing standards for local jails and court services
positions for sheriff's offices.
4. Support additional new construction and maintenance funding for VDOT for secondary
and primary roads.
5. Oppose any efforts to element or restrict local powers of taxation (personal property tax,
BPOL).
As you will recall, we have identified many other items in our legislative program. An
alternative approach would be to seek increased state funding for education, State
Compensation Board (sheriff), VDOT, law enforcement, Comprehensive Services Act, libraries,
juvenile crone control, etc.) Unfortunately this approach sounds whiney and greedy. We may
also have to address, in response to questions from our legislators, transportation districts and
funding for the Higher Education Center for Roanoke.
I anticipate making a brief presentation on the identified priority issues and then opening up
the discussion between Board members and legislators. I await your comments and
suggestions.
