package intended to direct additional state financial assistance to cities in exchange for
the loss of authority to annex land in surrounding counties; and

to cities, towns and counties with police departments, which was intended to compensate
for the disparity between state funding for local police departments and sheriffs' offices;
and
WHEREAS, the Virginia Code directs the Governor and the General Assembly to
increase the total amount of HB 599 funds to be distributed each year by the anticipated
percentage change in state general fund revenues; and

million in fiscal year 1992, and has remain frozen at that level since 1992; and

599 funding would have increased to $151 million by fiscal year 1999 if the state had
funded this program in accordance with state law; and
WHEREAS, if the state had funded this program in accordance with state law, the
County of Roanoke would currently be receiving $1,398,465 per year from the state
instead of $596,308, which it is currently receiving; and
1
WHEREAS, by fiscal year 2000 the total amount of funding that the state would
have distributed to localities since the HB 599 program's inception if the law had been
observed will be $610 million; and

and its local governments is based on mutual trust and support;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke
County, Virginia, that the Governor and General Assembly should develop a plan to fully
fund HB 599 by the year 2000, and that the amendments to the 1998-2000 budget enacted
during the 1999 General Assembly should include a substantial increase in this program
beginning in fiscal year 1999.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF
ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY
ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: December 1, 1998
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution of Support for Full Funding of House Bi11599 for Local
Police Departments
~~~d~
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: ~i.~.ev~~~-~
HB 599 was enacted in 1979 to provide funds to localities with police departments. This
bill was part of a budget package enacted to direct additional state financial assistance to
cities and thus reduce the need for annexation. During the first 11 years of the program,
annual appropriations increased substantially. However, during the budget cuts that
occurred in 1991, the HB 599 appropriation for FY92 was reduced from $80.5 million to
about $67 million. It has been frozen at that level ever since.
Had the state fully funded HB 599 in accordance with the law, and based on general fund
growth rates, the total amount of money being distributed to localities by now would have
increased to at least $151 million per year. Failure to increase HB 599 funding over the
years has widened the gap between the state support provided to localities with police
departments versus those with sheriffs' departments that are funded through the
Compensation Board.
Under the current level of funding, Roanoke County receives $596,308 annually. Under
full funding that amount would be $1,398,465, an increase of $802,157. Speaker of the
House Thomas W. Moss, Jr. has declared that funding HB 599 is a doable goal and the
~-- ~
Commission on and Future of Virginia's Cities which he chairs has identified it as one of
its priorities. Senator Marty Williams plans to introduce legislation that would remove
restrictions on annexation if HB 599 is not fully funded.
Staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached resolution of support for full funding
of HB 599, and oppose any legislation that would remove restrictions on annexation if HB
599 is not fully funded.
Respectfully submitted,

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADNIINISTRATION
CENTER ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1998
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING FULL FUNDING OF HB 599 FOR LOCAL
POLICE DEPARTMENTS
WHEREAS, the General Assembly passed HB 599 in 1979 as part of a legislative
package intended to direct additional state financial assistance to cities in exchange for the
loss of authority to annex land in surrounding counties; and
WHEREAS, one type of state financial assistance included in HB 599 was payment
to cities, towns and counties with police departments, which was intended to compensate
for the disparity between state funding for local police departments and sheriffs' offices;
and

increase the total amount of HB 599 funds to be distributed each year by the anticipated
percentage change in state general fund revenues; and

million in fiscal year 1992, and has remain frozen at that level since 1992; and
WHEREAS, , based on annual general fund growth rates, the total amount of HB
599 funding would have increased to $151 million by fiscal year 1999 if the state had
funded this program in accordance with state law; and
WHEREAS, if the state had funded this program in accordance with state law, the
County of Roanoke would currently be receiving $1,398,465 per year from the state
instead of $596,308, which it is currently receiving; and
WHEREAS, by fiscal year 2000 the total amount of funding that the state would
have distributed to localities since the HB 599 program's inception if the law had been

and its local governments is based on mutual trust and support;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke
County, Virginia, that the Governor and General Assembly should develop a plan to fully
fund HB 599 by the year 2000, and that the amendments to the 1998-2000 budget enacted
during the 1999 General Assembly should include a substantial increase in this program
beginning in fiscal year 1999.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County,
Virginia opposes any legislation that would remove restrictions on annexation if HB 599
is not fully funded.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Clerk to the Board of Supervisors is

Legislative Liaisons
FROM: R. Michael A.rr~~
SUBJECT: HB 599 Resolution and Fact Sheet
~-'u`
As you know, one of the top legislative priorities that VML's membership
approved at our annual conference was full funding of HB 599 by the year 2000.
While this has been an important issue to us for some time, legislators are
showing more interest in the issue than we have seen in the past. Speaker of the
House Thomas W. Moss, Jr. has declared that funding HB 599 is a doable goal,
and the Commission on the Condition and Future of Virginia's Cities which he
chairs has identified it as one of its priorities. A delegation from the Commission
has been seeking a meeting with Governor Gilmore to urge him to address HB
599 in his budget amendments. Sen. Marty Williams plans to introduce
legislation that would remove restrictions on annexation if HB 599 is not fully
funded.
When VML's Legislative Committee held a special meeting last week to begin
developing recommendations for the city commission, it directed VML staff to
send a package of information on HB 599 to all localities, urging them to adopt a
resolution supporting full funding of HB 599. We have included in this package a
sample resolution, as well as background information on HB 599, so that if you
prefer to develop your own resolution you have the material you need to do so.
VML is asking you to take the following actions as soon as possible:
• Adopt a resolution supporting full funding of HB 599
• Send the resolution to Governor Gilmore, the General Assembly leadership,
the chairs of the Senate Finance Committee and House Appropriations
Committee and the chairs of their public safety subcommittees, and members
of the city commission (see attached)
• Send the resolution to your delegation of the General Assembly, and meet
with them to discuss full funding of HB 599
Send a copy of your resolution to Betty Long at VML
It is important that we focus as much attention on this issue as possible, if we are
to succeed in obtaining additional funding. While there is already interest in this
issue among legislators, it is a much more difficult matter to actually get
additional money appropriated for this purpose. Your efforts are needed to
succeed.
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WORKING TOGETHER SINCE 1905
HB 599 Fact Sheet
HB 599 was enacted in 1979 as part of a legislative package intended to direct additional state financial
assistance to cities and thus reduce the need for annexation. HB 599 provided funds to localities with
police departments, while other legislation enacted at the same time made changes in the state law
governing annexations and added provisions offering complete annexation immunity to nine counties.
There are 174 jurisdictions eligible for HB 599 funding -- 40 cities, 9 counties, and 126 towns.
Although the funds are distributed to localities to aid in law enforcement expenditures and the key
eligibility criterion is that the locality have a police department, there is no requirement that the funds be
used specifically for law enforcement. In most cases, however, local governments' law enforcement
expenditures exceed the amount received in HB 599 funding. For instance in FY96 cities received $42.4
million in HB 599 funds. For that same period the Comparative Cost Report from the Auditor of Public
Accounts shows that cities spent about $336 million on law enforcement and traffic control.
During the first 11 years of the program, annual appropriations increased substantially. The Code directs
the Governor and General Assembly to increase the total amount of HB 599 funds to be distributed each
year by the anticipated percentage changes in state general fund revenues. However, during the round of
budget cuts that occurred in 1991, the HB 599 appropriation for FY92 was reduced from $80.5 million to
about $67 million. It has been frozen at that level ever since.
If the state had fully funded HB 599 in accordance with the law, by fiscal year 1999 the total amount of
money being distributed to localities would have increased to at least $151 million per year. By the year
2000 the total amount of funding should exceed $160 million. (More accurate estimates can be determined
after Governor Gilmore submits his revised revenue forecast in December.)
By fiscal year 2000 the cumulative "deficit" for HB 599 funding (i.e. the total amount of additional funding
that the state would have distributed to localities since the program's inception if the law had been
observed) will be $610 million.
Over the eighteen-year life of this program, the percentage of funds allocated to cities has declined because
the distribution formula is strongly influenced by changes in population. Thus, despite the fact that this
funding source was intended to benefit cities primarily, their share of the total allocation had decreased
from 68.1% to 63.4% by FY98.
The amount of aid received by individual cities currently ranges from $71,000 to $7 million. Forty-three
towns receive $25,000 or more in HB 599 funding, with seven towns receiving amounts greater than
$100,000.
In many instances HB 599 funding is what enables small towns to provide 24-hour police coverage in their
communities.
Failure to increase HB 599 funding over the years has further widened the gap between the state support
provided to localities with police departments versus those with sheriffs' departments that are funded
through the Compensation Board.
Sample Resolution
HB 599 Funding
WHEREAS the General Assembly passed HB 599 in 1979 as part of a legislative
package intended to direct additional state financial assistance to cities in exchange for
the loss of authority to annex land in surrounding counties; and
WHEREAS one type of state financial assistance included in HB 599 was payment to
cities, towns and counties with police departments, which was intended to compensate for
the disparity between state funding for local police departments and sheriffs' offices; and
WHEREAS the Virginia Code directs the Governor and the General Assembly to
increase the total amount of HB 599 funds to be distributed each year by the anticipated
percentage change in state general fund revenues; and
WHEREAS funding for HB 599 was reduced from $80.5 million to less than $67 million
in fiscal year 1992, and has remain frozen at that level since 1992; and
WHEREAS, based on annual general fund growth rates, the total amount of HB 599
funding would have increased to $151 million by fiscal year 1999 if the state had funded
this program in accordance with state law; and
WHEREAS if the state had funded this program in accordance with state law, the (city,
town or county of _~ would curcently be receiving $ per year from the state
instead of the $ which it is currently receiving. If (locality name) were
receiving the higher amount of funding, it would be able to (USE ONE OR MORE OF
THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES): pay for additional police officers, OR reduce
the real estate tax rate by cents, OR another example of your choosing.
WHEREAS by fiscal year 2000 the total amount of funding that the state would have
distributed to localities since the HB 599 program's inception if the law had been
observed will be $610 million; and
WHEREAS since the program's inception the total amount of funding that the state has
failed to distribute to (locality name) totals $ ;and
WHEREAS the commonwealth benefits when the relationship between the state and its
local governments is based on mutual trust and support;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Governor and General Assembly shall
develop a plan to fully fund HB 599 by the year 2000, and that the amendments to the
1998-2000 budget enacted during the 1999 General Assembly should include a
substantial increase in this program beginning in fiscal year 1999.

has reduced the amount of funds available for use with other economic development projects for the
remainder of Fiscal Year 1998-99. The total closing costs for the two properties reduced the
unappropriated balance in the Public Private Partnership Fund to $54,400.95. Staff requests that the
Board of Supervisors make an appropriation from the funds remaining in the Dixie Caverns Landfill
account in the amount of $285,743.99 and transfer these funds to the Public Private Partnership
Fund.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Replenishment of $285,743.99 to the Public Private Partnership Fund is being requested to cover
current and anticipated costs for ongoing economic development partnerships.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors appropriate $285,743.99 from the Dixie
Caverns Landfill account to the Public Private Partnership Fund (102320).
2. Take no action at this time and suspend any expenditures from the Public Private Partnership
Fund until the Board of Supervisors considers and approves the Budget for Fiscal Year 1999-
2000.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CENTER
MEETING DATE: December 1, 1998
AGENDA ITEM: Request for acceptance of $28,380 grant from the Department of Criminal
Justice Services for drug enforcement in the County high schools
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
BACKGROUND:
The Roanoke County Police Department applied for renewal of a grant to enhance drug enforcement
in the County high schools and within the student age group for fiscal year 1998-1999. The grant
has been approved by the Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) in the amount of $28,380.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The grant provides funds for overtime to allow officers to work past their regular hours to conduct
criminal investigations involving the sale of controlled substances by or to persons within the high
school and middle school age group, as well as directed patrols which target drug activity. The grant
also provides some assistance with funding used to make undercover drug purchases while
conducting these investigations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The grant is for $21,285 in DCJS federal funds (75%) and $7,095 in local funds (25%). The criteria
of the grant requires a hard dollar match of local funds. The local match will come from Police
Department funds.

ITEM NUMBER
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY,
VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: December 1, 1998
AGENDA ITEM: Request to Advance Remainder of Funds for Renovation of High School Science
Labs
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS
SiIMMARY OF INFORMATION: On August 19, 1997, the County Board of Supervisors authorized
the School Board to proceed with Phase I of the School Capital Improvement Program as outlined in the
revised Blue Ribbon Committee Report. Phase I projects of $47,719,732 include a new South County
High School, science lab renovations, renovations at Glenvaz Middle School, a new Bonsack Elementary
School, renovations at Burlington Elementary School, renovations at Cleazbrook Elementary School and
roof replacements.
The Schools opened the general contractor bids for the renovation of science labs at Cave Spring High,
Northside High, and Glenvaz High on August 28, 1998 and awarded the contract on September 24, 1998.
The Boazd has advanced a total of $1,958,560 towazds this project to date with an additional $316,040 in
escrow for A&E technology and equipment. The School Board is now requesting release of the
escrowed funds. Attachment B is a listing of the technology A&E and equipment that school staff intend
to purchase with the escrowed funds for Cave Spring High, Northside High, Glenvaz High, and William
Byrd High School science labs.
The County participated in the Fall 1998 Virginia Public School Authority bond issue. However, the
science labs were not included in this bond issue as the bid process was not completed prior to the
application due date. The renovations will be partially funded by the 1998-99 State School Construction
Grant of $554,772 with the remainder to be funded in the Spring 1999 VPSA bond issue. The Finance
staff will monitor the impact of this advance on the cash flow of the County. If it is necessary for cash
flow purposes, or if it is more cost effective for investment purposes, the staffwill return to the Boazd of
Supervisors with arrangements for ashort-term borrowing that will bridge the gap between the time the
expenditures are made and the time that we will receive bond proceeds from the Spring VPSA sale and
the school construction grant.
FISCAL IlVIPACT: The County has already advanced funds of $16,114,800 for Phase I construction to
date, as shown on Attachment A which includes $1,958,560 for the science labs. This additional advance
of $316,040 will complete the budget for the science lab renovations and increase the total advances to

COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION
CENTER ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1998
RESOLUTION 120198-5 ADOPTING A LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM FOR
THE 1999 SESSION OF THE VIRGINIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY, AND
PETITIONING THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO FAVORABLY 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 1999 session of the
Virginia General Assembly; and
WHEREAS, the Board adopts this resolution as its Legislative Program for the 1999
session of the Virginia General Assembly.
NOW, THEREFORE, Be It Resolved by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke
County, Virginia, that the following legislative initiatives are submitted for its legislative
program for the 1999 session of the Virginia General Assembly for its favorable
consideration and adoption.
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.
1) 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. The General Assembly should increase funding for
capital construction and renovation projects based upon the locality's local effort in support
1
of these capital projects.
2) Local school divisions should be authorized to establish opening dates
for school.
3) 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.
4) Roanoke County supports State funding at a level requested by the
Higher Education Center Authority in order to complete the project located in the City of
Roanoke.
5) Roanoke County supports second year funding in the biennial budget
for the College of Health Sciences located in the City of Roanoke.
B. Transportation and Highway SafetX.
1) 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.
2) Roanoke County is in support of Roanoke City's support of expanding
2
local authority to create transportation districts, to impose local option motor vehicle fuels
taxes, and to expend these tax proceeds for local transportation improvements.
C. Public Safety.
1) 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.
2) Roanoke County requests that Section 46.2-1001 be amended to add
Roanoke County to the list of jurisdictions whose law-enforcement officers are authorized
to perform vehicle safety inspections.
3) Roanoke County supports increasing the "Two-for-Life" funding for the
benefit of rescue squads and the emergency medical services system to a "$4-for-Life"
Program.
4) Amend sec. 56-414 to allow counties to regulate the sounding of train
whistles at railroad crossings.
5) Amend Sec. 15.2-901 (weeds and trash) and 15.2-904 (inoperable
motor vehicles) to allow enforcement through the use of civil penalties, as authorized for
violations of zoning ordinances under Sec. 15.2-2209, or for violations of erosion and
sediment control ordinances under Sec. 10.1-562.J.
D. Environment.
1) Roanoke County supports amending Chapter 6.1, "Virginia Tire Tax"
of Title 58.1, "Taxation" (a) to increase the tire tax from $.50 to $1.25, and (b) to direct and
authorize the Department of Waste Management to utilize the increased Waste Tire Trust
3
Fund to remediate illegal or abandoned waste tire dumps.
2) 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.
3) Roanoke County opposes legislation that would assess a fee on each
ton of solid waste deposited in or with the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority.
E. Local Taxation and Fundina.
1) Roanoke County vigorously opposes any attempt to restrict or
eliminate local sources of taxation, including personal property taxation and business and
professional occupational licensing, unless local governments are guaranteed the
opportunity to replace lost sources of local revenue with comparable, equivalent,
independent sources of revenue to allow localities to fulfill their public service obligations.
2) 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.
3) Roanoke County supports increasing state aid for public libraries by
$1.4 Million FY 2000; that the Commonwealth fully fund state aid by FY 2001; that sales
tax exemptions be provided for organizations that support public libraries; and that the
Commonwealth adopt and fund a statewide technology plan and Internet access for public
libraries. The objective of such a plan will be to provide public libraries with the
technological support for public, universal access to networked information.
4
4) Roanoke County supports authority to impose an additional one-half
percent ('/~%) local option sales tax.
5) Roanoke County supports authority to impose an additional charge
of $2.00 per month per telephone line to fund rescue calls.
6) 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.
7) Roanoke County supports an amendment to Sec. 36-49.1:1.F to allow
all counties to impose liens for the recovery of the costs for spot blight removal in the
manner currently allowed the urban county executive form of government.
That the Clerk to the Board of Supervisors is directed to send a certified copy of this
resolution to Senator John S. Edwards, Senator Malfourd W. "Bo" Trumbo, Delegate H.
Morgan Griffith, Delegate Clifton "Chip" Woodrum, Delegate C. Richard Cranwell,

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE

MEETING DATE: December 1, 1998
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance Authorizing Approval Of A Settlement Agreement With Nyna S.
Murray And Acquisition Of A 20' Drainage Easement, With Access And
Temporary Construction Easements, Across Property Owned By Nyna S.
Murray On Shadwell Drive In The Hollins Magisterial District In Connection
With A Project To Provide For Adequate Drainage From Belle Grove
Subdivision
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: ,~a~Ntir~Z~.k-u~C ~ "~D~~
v "`
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This is the first reading of an ordinance to authorize approval of a settlement agreement with
Nyna S. Murray in lieu of eminent domain proceedings and to authorize purchase of a 20' drainage
easement, together with a permanent access easement and a temporary construction easement, across
the Murray property for the sum of $7,000.00. The settlement and acquisition are in connection with
a project to correct existing conditions on the Murray property by repairing a sink hole and by
construction of a conduit system for the transmission of drainage from the stormwater detention
facility in the adjoining Belle Grove Subdivision to the existing drainage easement along Shadwell
Drive.
BACKGROUND:
Nyna S. Murray is the owner of property, designated on the Roanoke County Land Records
as Tax Map #28.09-2-4, located on Shadwell Drive and adjoining Belle Grove Subdivision along the
rear property line. As a result of the conditions on Ms. Murray's property, and pursuant to previous
authorizations by the Board, the County contracted with Michael S. Webb, P.E., of Lumsden
Associates, P.C., to study the conditions, feasibility, geotechnical evaluation, costs, and impact in
connection with the proposed drainage outfall project. The engineer has recommended installation
of a conduit system from the outfall of the stormwater detention pond in Belle Grove Subdivision,
along the property line of Michael and Joy Ann Murray, to the existing drainage easement along
~~i
Shadwell Drive. County engineering staff approved and concurred in the recommendation. The
location was in accordance with the preference of the Murrays as previously expressed. On June 23,
1998, this Board adopted Resolution #062398-8 to authorize commencement of eminent domain
proceedings when the bona fide offer of $2,873.00, based upon an independent M.A.I. appraisal of
the fair market value of the easement, had not been accepted.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Staff has continued to negotiate with Ms. Murray for a favorable settlement. Additional
survey work was conducted to relocate a portion of the proposed drainage easement to further
accommodate Ms. Mutray's concerns. A copy of the current survey is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Ms. Murray has now executed a settlement agreement with the County and a deed of
easement, pending Board approval, to convey the required drainage easement, with access and
temporary construction easements, for the consideration of $7,000.00. The agreement provides that
the County will make repairs to the existing sink hole substantially in accordance with the
recommendations provided by Froehling & Robertson, Inc., in its Report of Subsurface Exploration
and Geotechnical Evaluation dated December 15, 1997. The agreement further provides that any
disturbed areas of ground will be graded, seeded and strawed, and any trees that must be removed
will be transplanted or replaced. The County does not assume or admit liability or responsibility for
any present or future conditions on the Murray property. Ms. Murray releases the County from any
obligations, claims or demands on account of the sink hole and the existing damage to the land
surface, taking of the land, or damage to residue, but does not release any party from any other
possible claims.
Following the Board's previous action to authorize the condemnation and immediate right-of-
entry upon the property, Ms. Murray filed a petition with the Circuit Court of Roanoke County,
pursuant to Virginia Code § 15.2-1905, for a determination of the necessity of immediate right-of-
entry. The proposed settlement agreement would render the petition moot and the parties have
agreed to dismissal of the pending action. Furthermore, the settlement would permit construction
on the project to proceed as soon as feasible and avoid further delays due to litigation.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The consideration of $7,000.00 for the easement acquisition, and the additional sums required
for the construction ofthe project and associated costs, shall be paid from the $45,000.00 previously
appropriated by action of this Board on June 23, 1998, to the Belle Grove/Murray account in the
Capital Fund, with such consideration and costs to be off-set by any sums which may be received or
obtained from Belle Grove Development Corporation.

domain proceedings authorized by this Board on June 23, 1998.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINI5TRATION CENTER
MEF,.TIN~r DATE: December 1, 1998
SUBJECT: Second Reading of Ordinance Authorizing the Release and Reconveyanee
of Sanitary Sewer Easements to Helen Cox Richards
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: ~~~
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The design of the sanitary sewer line from Valley TechPark to the Spring Hollow Water
Treatment Facility required easements across the property of Helen Cox Richards.
These easements crossed parcels 64.02-2-7, 8, 9 and 10 and are recorded in Deed Book 1475,
pages 1296, 1302, and 1308.
The first reading was held on November 17, 1998.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATIOZN:
During construction of the sanitary sewer line it was discovered that there could be a significant
cast savings if the line could be shifted slightly to avoid a large seam of rock. Moving the line
would require a revised easement.
Staff met with the property owner and a new easement was granted and recorded in Deed Book
1484 pages 792, 798 and 804. The property owner granted the new easement on the condition
that staff would recommend vacation of the original easement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost to record the Deeds of Release will be less than $100.00.
~~~
STAFF RECOMMENDATION;
Staff recommends that the County Administrator be authorized to execute such documents to
release these Deeds of Easemem following the second reading on December 1, 1998.

MEETING DATE: December 1, 1998
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance authorizing the acquisition of a 0.7-acre parcel of land from
Eloise P. Clements and Charles Clements for the Roanoke County Public
Library
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: f~,,
l
G~~;~
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This is the second reading of the proposed ordinance to authorize acquisition of a parcel of
land, consisting of 0.7 acre, together with any improvements thereon, rights incident thereto,
and appurtenances thereunto belonging, from Eloise P. Clements and Charles Clements. This
parcel is immediately adjacent to the site of the Headquarters (419) Library of the Roanoke
County Public Library.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The subject property is necessary for any substantial future improvements to the Headquarters
Library building and parking areas. Recent functional studies and current usage data indicate
that the current library site is inadequate to accommodate building improvements or the
correction of parking and traffic circulation problems. The addition of the Clements' parcel
would provide the County with greater flexibility in addressing these needs in the future. An
appraisal of the property was conducted by Appraisal Consultants Assoc. in September, 1998.
The appraisal indicated that the fair market value of the property is $88,000.
A purchase price of $88,000 has been negotiated by the County, and a contract of sale has
been obtained subject to Board approval. The Board approved the first reading of the ordinance
on November 17, 1998.
FISCAL IMPACT:
An appropriation of $88,000, plus other costs and expenses including various survey,
environmental assessment, and settlement costs of approximately $3,550 is required. This
amount is available from the unappropriated capital fund balance. The proposed price is
-~
consistent with the fair market value indicated by the independent appraisal conducted in
September.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board adopt the second reading of the ordinance authorizing the
acquisition of the 0.7-acre parcel of land, together with any improvements thereon, all rights
incident thereto and appurtenances thereunto belonging, from Eloise P. Clements and Charles
Clements for the sum of $88,000, plus $3,550 for settlement costs, with funds appropriated from
the unappropriated capital fund balance.

ACTION NUMBER
ITEM NUMBER ~"
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: December 1, 1998
AGENDA ITEM: ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION OF A
PERMANENT DRAINAGE EASEMENT FROM DAVID D. AND
CAROL B. GRAYBEAL FOR THE WAKEFIELD AVENUE AND
DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (CAVE SPRING
MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT).
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: ~~
aV `~
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This is the second reading of the proposed ordinance to authorize acquisition of a
permanent drainage easement (0.017 Ac.) from David D. and Carol B. Graybeal for
the Wakefield Avenue and Drainage Improvement Project.
BACKGROUND:
The Wakefield Avenue project was initiated in response to citizen concerns due to
the lack of a turnaround at its terminus. At the time staff was contacted, an
emergency response vehicle had been unable to turn around during a medical
emergency. In order to move forward with this project in an expeditious manner,
County staff agreed to develop the construction plans and obtain all the necessary
right-of--way and drainage easements. VDOT agreed to handle the construction and
pay for the right-of-way improvements out of their maintenance fund. The property
owners in the area have been very cooperative (except one) with County staff and
have donated all the necessary right-of-way and drainage easements for this
project.
~r
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
David D. and Carol B. Graybeal are the current owners of Lot 27, Section 13, Mount
Vernon Heights, located on Brandywine Avenue, and designated as Roanoke
County Tax Map Number 77.13-02-02, as shown on the attached plat. Staff made
numerous attempts to have a 15' drainage easement donated to Roanoke County
for constructing this project. Having been unsuccessful, County staff has made a
fair market offer in the amount of $881.00 for the easement. Mr. and Mrs. Graybeal
have agreed to this offer and will convey the drainage easement.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The sum of $881.00 will be expended from the Drainage Maintenance Program to
acquire this easement.
ALTERNATIVES:
Alternative #1: Authorize acquisition of the proposed drainage easement from
David D. and Carol G. Graybeal for the sum of $881.00
Alternative #2: Decline to purchase the easement and direct staff to pursue
eminent domain proceedings with the current property owner.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt an ordinance in accordance
with Alternative #1.

AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance authorizing quitclaim and release of a water and sanitary
sewer easement within boundaries of Scotford Court and located
between Lot 47, Block 3, Section 13 and Lot 56, Block 1, Section 13
of Westchester of Canterbury Park, located in the Windsor Hills
Magisterial District.
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
~ ~~.. r
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This is the second reading of the proposed ordinance to authorize quitclaim and
release of water and sanitary sewer easement within the boundaries of Scotford
Court and located between Lot 47, Block 3, Section 13, and Lot 56, Block 1, Section
13 of Westchester of Canterbury Park.
BACKGROUND:
In March 1993, Roanoke County obtained from Palm Hermitage Corp., a 25-foot
water and sewer easement for the development of the County's south loop water
transmission line. Said easement is shown and designated as "New 25-foot Water
and Sewer Easement" upon easement plat recorded in the Clerk's office of the
Circuit Court of Roanoke County, Virginia, in Plat Book 15, Page 107.
In March 1997, Boone, Boone and Loeb, Inc., Palm Hermitage Corp., subsequently
subdivided the property by plat showing Section 13, Westchester of Canterbury
Park, of record in the aforesaid Clerk's office, Plat Book 19, Page 139, a copy of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The 25-foot water and sanitary sewer
easement described above lies within Section 13 and is beneath Scotford Court.
G-4
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
In order for this portion of Scotford Court to be accepted into the state secondary
road system, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) requires that the
right-of-way be free and clear of any third party rights or encumbrances. The
quitclaim and release of the subject portion of the water and sanitary sewer
easement to the Commonwealth of Virginia would be subject to VDOT issuing a
permit for such facilities and the condition that the facilities located within the 50-foot
right-of-way, with the boundaries of Scotford Court and located between Lot 47,
Block 3, Section 13, and Lot 56, Block 1, Section 13 of Westchester of Canterbury
Park, may continue to occupy the street in the existing condition and location. The
release would be for so long as the subject section of Scotford Court is used as part
of the public street or highway system; however, said easement would not be
vacated by the Board and would revert to the county in the event of abandonment
of the street or highway. The Utility Department is in agreement with this request.
ALTERNATIVES AND IMPACT:
(1) Adopt the proposed ordinance authorizing the County Administrator to
execute the necessary documents for quitclaims and release of the water
and sanitary sewer easement within the boundaries of Scotford Court and
located between Lot 47, Block 3, Section 13, and Lot 56, Block 1, Section
13, of Westchester of Canterbury Park.
(2) Decline to adopt the proposed ordinance, which would result in Scotford
Court remaining a private road.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Roanoke County staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt the
proposed ordinance as provided in Alternative 1.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
On October 27, the Board held a Work Session on the Community Plan. At that time, it
was decided to hold another Work Session on December 1, and that any suggested
revisions to the plan should be given to the Planning staff by November 20 to allow the

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 24, 1998 ~~--/
TO: Board of Supervisors
FROM: Janet Scheid, Senior Planner
RE: Roanoke County Draft Community Plan
In 1995, at the invitation of the Board of Supervisors, the Roanoke County community began an
extraordinary process of thinking, planning, and dreaming the future of Roanoke County. They
were not constrained by financial resources, narrow-minded thinking, the status quo or how
things had always been done in the past. They began along-range planning process that, with
the support of committed leaders, will guide us in the next century and provide a balance
between economic development and environmental protection.
The Roanoke County Community Plan provides for and encourages economic growth in those
areas where is can be sustained and supported by the necessary infrastructure. It also provides
for preservation of our important natural resources in the more rural, mountainous areas of our
community. It recognizes that these two elements can and should work in concert together and
are both absolutely essential to the long-term growth and vitality of the County.
The Roanoke Valley Home Builders Association have suggested that the Community Plan is not
sufficiently detailed with quantifiable data, does not include adequate information on economic
development and has not had sufficient community review. I would like to take this opportunity
to respond to these comments.
Should the Plan include more quantifiable data?
The Roanoke County Planning Commission -responding to the voice of the citizens that we
create a Community Plan that is user friendly, accountable and relevant -decided early on in this
process to develop a Plan that was considerably different then the 1985 Comprehensive Plan.
While that Plan was superb for the early to mid-eighties, it was not widely used by citizens,
interest groups or homebuilders. Much of the information contained in the 1985 Plan was
quickly out of date. Although it included good information about land use policies it did not
include any way to measure when goals or objectives had been achieved or even if progress had
been made. In short, it is a document that has been used by staff but has been used infrequently
by others.
The draft Community Plan attempts to reflect the vast amount of citizen input we have received
throughout this four year process and assemble it in a way that citizens, Board members,
Commission members and staff can use. It is broken into three volumes with the first volume
~a
being the essence of the Plan. The necessary socio-economic, demographic background
information, statistics, charts and economic data are contained in a separate volume as is the
detailed information about the extensive community participation process.
This Community Plan is one piece of a larger set of supporting documents that provide
background information upon which this Plan is based. For instance, the Plan includes a section
in Chapter 3 on Economic Development. This section summarizes the more detailed, Board
approved Economic Development Strategy and Economic Development Strategy - 2000 and
Beyond. This section of the Community Plan includes goal, objectives and implementation
strategies in sufficient detail for the reader to understand that economic development is a critical
element of this Plan and is of the utmost importance to the future quality of life of County
residents. The interested reader can find more specific, quantifiable information in the
documents referenced above and in the supporting volume of the Community Plan -Roanoke
County Demographic and Economic Profile.
Other supporting documents include the Capital Improvement Plan and the 1997 Comprehensive
Facilities Study of the Roanoke County School System.
The Roanoke Regional Home Builders Association requests that this Plan include specific
information such as an inventory of land in different zoning classifications. Although this
information was in the 1985 Comprehensive Plan it is not included in the draft Community Plan
for one very good reason. It would be almost immediately out-of--date. With today's Geographic
Information System (GIS) technology this is the type of information that can be produced
quickly and kept up to date on a weekly, monthly, quarterly or bi-annual basis. It does not need
to be in the Plan where it will become obsolete information in three months time.
Does the Plan adequately address economic development?
The draft Community Plan includes a section in Chapter 3 on economic development. More
importantly, for the first time ever, this Plan includes a series of four maps that indicate future
economic development opportunity areas. These maps have been closely studied and
coordinated with the future land use maps. The Director of Economic Development, Mr. Tim
Gubala was the principal author of this section of the Plan and has expressed his satisfaction with
the Plan.
The importance of and commitment to economic development is reflected throughout the
Community Plan. Chapter 4, Quality of Life includes the statement that "the economic base of
the County needs to continue to grow to support an increased demand for and cost of services
such as public education". Likewise the sections on regionalism and resource preservation
include statements supporting economic development and tourism.
The citizens of Roanoke County recognize that economic growth and development are important
elements of the overall quality of life that they treasure. In the community meetings held across
the County over the last several years, staff repeatedly heard that citizens want economic
development. They also want it to be well designed and respectful of adjoining neighborhoods.
We have seen how these two goals can be achieved in various projects the County has
undertaken in the last several years such as the Messrs. Boone and Musselwhite Planned
Residential Development projects, the Roanoke County Center for Research and Technology and
the McDonald Farm. The Community Plan is a strong advocate for these processes.
Has there been sufficient communi input and review
This process began in January 1995 and over the course of the last four years has involved over
1000 citizens representing a broad spectrum of interests and concerns. Many of these citizens
have attended one or more of the 100+ citizen meetings that have been held.
The Board of Supervisors has appointed two citizen committees to guide this process. First, in
March 1995 you appointed the Visioning Process Steering Committee with representatives from
across the County. In the fall of 1996 you appointed the Citizen Advisory Committee consisting
of two citizens from each community planning area.
The process has included representatives from many special interest groups including the
Roanoke Regional Home Builders Association, Roanoke Valley Association of Realtors,
Chambers of Commerce, Blue Ridge Parkway, Western Virginia Land Trust, sign industry,
Urban Forestry Council and others.
The Planning Commission began their formal review of this document in July 1998 and
proceeded to hold a total of nine work sessions. These meetings were open to the public and
many were attended by representatives of the Roanoke Regional Home Builders Association. On
October 6 the Planning Commission held their public hearing on the Community Plan and
recommended forwarding the Plan to the Board of Supervisors. The work session you have on
December 1 will be your third work session on this topic in addition to the public hearing that
you had on October 27.
All of these meetings, worksessions and public hearings have been opportunities for public input
and review. Many Roanoke County citizens have attended these meetings, given their
suggestions and eagerly await the implementation of the important projects outlined in the
document.
The Roanoke County Community Plan is a blueprint for the future. It strives to achieve well
managed growth and development and reflects the citizens' desires to protect our sense of place
and those attributes of this community that give us authenticity and uniqueness. The Plan is
designed to allow for accountability in achieving the high goals that have been laid out. There is
much work to do.

Salem, Virginia 24153
Dear Mr. Strauss:
The Board of Supervisors has asked me to respond to your recent letter concerning the Roanoke
County Community Plan. While we appreciate the time and effort that the Homebuilders
Association has put into working on this Plan, we all need to remember that this is, in conception
and execution, a vision of Roanoke County, created by its citizens. It is not a capital
improvement program, it is not an economic development strategy and it is not a statistical
document which will be out of date within a month. This is a living, breathing view of what the
stockholders of the County, the citizens, want to see in the next ten years.
The State of Virginia recognizes that a comprehensive plan needs to be written to best serve the
needs of the community for which it was developed. Since the County adopted the 1985
Comprehensive Plan, the world has changed dramatically. As your consultant mentions, we now
have GIS capability which can create, within a day, much of the information which took months
to research for the 1985 plan. But information such as where utilities are located, what tracts of
land are available for development and analyses of future growth patterns are only snapshots in
time. While they were important to include in 1985, today, those statistics can be included as
appendices and updated whenever necessary. For example, an inventory of available land for
economic development can become out of date as soon as an industry such as RR Donnelley
locates on a particular site. For this reason we keep it on a regional database at the Regional
Partnership and on the Internet. An overlay of sewer and water lines becomes useless as soon as
a developer extends those utilities to a particular subdivision. Future growth patterns are
projections, and need to be updated frequently when the growth occurs.
While I respect the expertise of your consultant, I believe he is missing the point of the
Community Plan. It is a new, forward looking document, unlike those we have done in the past.
But Roanoke County has a reputation as an innovative community. The Community Plan is our

vision, and visions don't include constraints. If we let possible problems deter us, we wouldn't
have Spring Hollow Reservoir and the Smith Gap Landfill available for the residents of the homes
which you and the members of your association continue to build. Please do not misunderstand,
capital improvements, demographic information, and economic development strategies are all
important. That is why we incorporated them by reference in the Community Plan. These are
dynamic subsystems that implement the stated mission, the Community Plan.
You know that Roanoke County is a desirable place to live - if it weren't, I know you would look
elsewhere for your developments. We provide urban services at the lowest tax rate in the
Roanoke Valley, and our citizen surveys continue to rank our employees at the top of the scale.
Thank you again for your comments. As I said at the beginning of the letter, the Community Plan
is a vision of all our citizens, not just home builders or PTA members or accountants. We have, I
believe, put together an outstanding document which will help guide us into the 21st century.
Change is not easy and comes with uncertainty, but this is good for all of us, homebuilders
including. I look forward to seeing you at the Board's work session on December 1, where we
will have the opportunity to hear from many of the groups involved in the Community Plan
process.
Sincerely,
~~

continue to pay more of their disposable income in additional new taxes to
support the County because of a lack of an adequate commercial real estate tax
base? In the last decade, Roanoke County's local tax revenue increased 78%
while the population increased less than 9%. Will the current Community Plan
move the County in the proper direction?
• The Plan should include both a current land inventory analysis and
projected analysis that is broken down by ready-to-go zoned vs. unzoned
land with its status of developed, undeveloped or under developed stated.
• The Plan should include a current and future transportation analysis.
Where are the "bottlenecks", where are the opportunities.
The Plan should include a realistic capital improvements program that
relates to the stated goals for the following Community Facilities:
A. Parks & Recreation
B. Libraries
C. Schools
D. Public Safety
E. Fire & Rescue
F. Public Utilities (the current Utility Department's CIP Plan only
extends through the year 2030)
G. Storm Water Management
H. Transportation
• The Plan should state what goal Roanoke County is attempting to reach "to
achieve a balance in the proportion of the commercial and industrial tax
base with residential in Roanoke County" and how this goal is to be
achieved.
• The Plan should include a Future Growth Pattern Analysis.
• The Plan should include a Location Quotient Analysis.
• Why is an outdated 1987 Route 419 Frontage Development Plan included
without being updated? How are conflicts between the Route 419 plan and
the 1998 plan to be resolved?
'~- ~
• Why are areas of active and future housing communities labeled
"Neighborhood Conservation" when the "Development" is described as
"...land use area where most new neighborhood development will
occur... "?
• The Plan should include a sewer and water overlay so that development
(both commercial and residential) may be targeted in these areas to avoid
leapfrog development.
• Why has the density for Transitional -Multi-family residential been cut in
half from 24 to 12 units?
The Roanoke Regional Home Builders Association appreciates the
opportunity to review these major concerns with the Board of Supervisors, and
looks forward to our December 1st work session.

I have reviewed the Roanoke Cou;7n~ Cvrnmurriiy P:'an. Rel-ised ~rctit dated September
3Q. I998. Please be advised that my comments are based on knowledge of national
practices and trends and do not retlaL~t any particular knowledge of local conditions. I
urge you to review these comments for consistency with Four association's policies
before sharing them with any third party.
The most surprising aspect of this plan is the almost total lack of quantitative
information. This is also, in my opinion. its most significant failing. It is a curious plan
indeed that dons not eti-en indicate the current population of the count<-~, not to mention
populatiun projections. 1~lost comprehensive plans devote an entire chapter to population
trends and demographic anai~~sis. This plan contains not a word on the subjzct. In :m~ ~~
~: ears as an urban planner I cannot remember avzr seeing something purporting to oe a
comprehensive plan that did not at the ve:ti• least address copulation ?sends. T'ne
following is a :ist of the kinds of quantitative information normally found in
comprehensive plans that is omitted from the Roanoke Cuunty plan:
basic demographic information: population. number of households, household size.
population growth rata, population projections.
?. housing units by type, vacancy rate, building permits issued per year. ownership rata.
projection of fixture housing needs.
3, invenory of e:~isting land use, changes in land use over time, average density by
residential category, inventory of developed/undeveloped land by current zoning
category, projection of future developed land uses by category.
4. inventory of community facilities, e:cisting levels of service provided by community
facilities, e.cisting deficiencies and fixture community facility needs.
5. transportation trends; transit ridership rate, vehicle miles traveled, levels of service on
road network, projected networktrafftc volumes.
,.
6. number of eYistinglprojected jobs by economic sector, ~owth trends by economic
sector.
i . natural resources and sensitive environmental features inventory.
absent the collection and analysis of certain fizndamental quantitative information I do
not see how a plan can coma to env reasoned conclusion regarding the existing condition
or the direction of future changes in a community. Planning is fundamentally about
dealing with growth and change. By neglecting to quantify the present baseline or
measure rates of change. the Roanoke County plan utterly fails to address the central task
of planning.
From what I hate been ably to learn about demographic trends in Roanoke County (no
thanks to the plan) grotivth during the decade of the 80's appears to have bean stagnant.
With an average rate of 0.8°'o par gear. Roanoke County Lagged behind both the state of
Virguua andtha United States as a ~vhola. During the first part of this decade the ~owth
rate fell to lass than half the rate of the previous decade. In recent years Roanoke County
may have eYpe^enced negative population growth. ~ stagnant or declining population
can be e:tplained by a couple of things. The fertility rate may be moving closer to the
death rata (those that die each year are not being replaced at the same rate by ne~.v births).
_~nother aYplanation is that more people are moving ~:~ut of Roanoke County than are
moving in. `~47iatever the case may be (it is probably a combination) it does not bode
well for economic development efforts.
.-attracting ±u~ms snd jobs to Roanoke County ~viil :izn_ enci on rliero being paopla of
working age to :ill those jobs. If the convergence offertiiity and death rates in the county
is due to the swing of the present population combined with an ir~lus of retirees then we
can expect the size of the available workforce to decline. If the age or the people leaving
Roanoke County is ~'oung (young, ~vorkin~ age paopla being the most likely to move;
then we cane ,oec't a further downward trend in the workforce. What employer is ;oing
to want to locate in a region where the population is ,-tagnant as well as aging and the
workforce declining`?
The failure of ~he Roanoke County Community Plan to identify demo~aphic trends with
a bearing on economic development and other issues is a fatal flaw, in my view. Because
it did not recognize this trend it provides no plan or policy to address it and that is a
~~-itical failure as wall. Trends are not destiny. Economic development efforts can
overcome challenges if they are correctly identified in time and reasonable policies and
plans put into place. That is the true value of planning, but that is not what the draft plan
provides.
Economic development does not occur in a vacuum. Crrowth in employment occurs in
concert with residential growth, infrastructure growth and other land use changes.
Economic growth will be hindered by a lack of affordable housing and by inadequate
- infras-ttucture. To the extent that the dram plan fails to even consider housing or ° ~`
infras~tru~~ture it stands in the way of economic development.
The draft plan is written almost ezrtirely in qualitative terms. For example, the coals and
objectives speak about the quality of the future physical environment.. That is an
important Dart of any plan. However, the overall reasonableness of a comprehensive plan
must be judged in quantitative terms. In my view, a plan is reasonable if the "numbers"
work. How can we judge the reasonableness of the draft plan`? Do we know how much
land is designated for future economic development'.' Do wz know how many jobs may
be ~~reated? Do we know how many of those jobs might be filled by County residents
and how many by people who will move to Roanoke Couty in the future? Will there be
enough housing for the future workforce of the C ounty? What type of housing will they
need and will it be affordable? What demands will future growth place on community
facilities? How much infrastructure must be developed? ~t what level of growth will
natural resources begin to be threatened?
These are the kings of questions that are reasonable to ask about our future. These :ire the
kinds of questions we expec,~ our comprehensive plans to address. I think it is fair to say
that the draft plan does not address these questions. at least not in a way to be ably to
answer the question. "how muck'?" Therefore. I would conclude that this is not a
reasonable plan for Roanoke County.
On a more positive note. there :ire some good ideas in the plan although it is not clear
how they will oz implemented. For example:
Page ~ 9. bullets -~-o -These coil for meowing the economic bast. reforming land
development regulations. and Iooicing at new street design standards.
Page ~(}. objective H -Cant argue =with more innovation and creativity in land
development.
• Page ~0. item 6. - ~~lore on reforming street standards.
• Page -?l. ite:rs l l and i2 - tilore t~aret~,~ and densit<~ in housing is ;ood if the market
supports it.
• Page I08, items q and ~ - Tlietf seem to support maintaining "full density' in natural
resource. asricultural. and residential areas
• Page 108. item IO -Supports r. eform of panting stanaards.
• Page 109, item 11 -The emphasis on voluntary means of preservation is good
• Page 109. item I2 - Crrass swales in lieu of curb and gutter is progress.
• Page 123, items ~ and 6 -Recognition of need for higher residential density in
growth areas and narrower street standards
• Page 128, 6`~ bullet - tilore flexible zoning is good for everyone.
I have flagged a number of specific concerns in the teat thax I can list for you if you
wish. ~ this time I thought you would be more interested in general,, philosophical
comments. If you have any questions about these, please call..

Dear ~1r. tiloore.
You had asked ne to review some documents related to the ~oa~~oke Cvi!nn,' ~_Omrni!,1In'
Jan. Re~'isec? ~ ran and to advise you ii: in light of this information. ' would amend my
earlier comments rzgarding the Community Plan contauzad in m~• fatter to ~'ou dated
October _0, 1998. These additional documents included the~conomic rJevelaotnenr
~rr-are„~ (a~rii ' 998) and the :~ca3ao~:e ~: vt!nr~~ Jemoap^nnic r;~~ ~.conornic ?=•on.e
(September 1996 j.
`n ~~aneral. the information contained in the other documents tends to reinforce my ~: ie~vs
about the plan ~::pressad earlier ~.vith one important ~~>ce~tion. ~f m~: unciarstanding is
correct that the ~a:mo~•apliic and Economic P-otila locumant ~,vill ba incornoratad into
the P'.an uv reference than clearly my criticism about the "almost total feel: of quantitati~~e
information" is ..o longer -~ alici. 'n my -. ia~.v..ha incorporation ~.~f this additional
auantitati~~a information is ~: substantial improvement. 'lie Plan ccuid ba impro~-ad
further if the ir~ortnation from he Protiia ~.vare intz7ated into the ta~Z or even merely
referenced thzre. It is still not cizar that he recoirunanda.tions of the Plan i1o~v som or
even recognize the information in the Protila.
1~lany of the types of data that i identitted as omitted h•om the Plan in my October
latter are now siciuded'o~~ referencing the Profile document. Ho~ve~~er. this information
is still incomplete in regard to the following:
Housing unit projections (Profile p. 29) only e~-tand to the veer ZOOt). The Plan
horizon year. however, is 2010. Housing unit projections should be e:ttended to
2010. This should not. be difficult given that population projections and other data are
available up to the year 2010.
2. The Profile contains income, eA~'?rnt~ngs and zmployment trend data but no projections.
The Bureau of Economic analysis (BEA) provides projections to the year 204 at the
metropolitan statistical area (MSA) level that could be scaled to the county level or
county trends could be attended. If economic growth is an important objective then
'~ °Z
projeLtions (or sec~toral ~o4vth targets) must be aYamined to determine if economic
development objectives are feasible or constrained in some way.
;. The Pmiile does not inventory land use, does not document past land use trends. or
project future land use changes. In my view, it is important to know how much
developable land there is, how much is consumed on average by each in~~rement in
residential and non-residential gro~nh. and how much will be required to meet future
economic development and housing objectives. .~sialvsis of this information is the
only ~vav to tall, for e:~ample, if economic development 7oals are feasible. in conflict
with some other ;oal (such as agricultural preservation), or constrained by limitations
in available. undeveloped land supply. Most planning offices keep land use records
manually or with a GIS. rie needed information should be available or e:s.sily
obtainable. If not. then there is a problem with the information system.
L~: en though the Profile document provides important planning information there remains
:~ disconnect bet«een information and policy. In other ~rords. this information has
implications for policy but these implications are not considered in the Plan. For
;ample. she Profile on p. l l in the last paragraph identifies a population trend and states
that this '`has many policy implications for the County's suture growth and development
as tveil as pro~•ision of services.' But the implications are not identii'ied, the
consequences are not considered. and policy is trot examined. Tlus points to the
dr^.~~vbact ofthe simply expedient of incorporating the Profile into the Plan by reference.
'tilore ;veil-considered police: must result tom fully inte~ating and analyzing the
auantitati~-e information in the teat ofthe Plan itself.
. : ceding of the ?rofil.. ~ ~~~ .,ass many mpol?ant implicanons for the iilturz ~n-o~~zh :uid
:;e~,-elovment of 11e CJUnL`"17at :~ese.^~e careful consideration. Clearly. the demo~aDtuc
^rotile~of the County ~.s shiftin7 toward older age ~*oups. This is due to the in-~ni~tion
~~f r~tireas in sl~slrlcant numuers couDizd ~:vitli out-Lni~•ation of younger peoDie in the
~:ui~.- stages of their ~tiorking life. This implies a slu~~ssicing of the labor force tlsat is
consistent with :'lie ~>-trzmel~' tv~v unemt)ivyment rate of ~.~°•~~. T11is unemployment rata
is .~trikin7 liven that economists consider fisll employment to be ;lclueved at an
unemplot•ment rate of about ~.°'n. The implication hero is that there is no labor available
Tor economic ~~ o~ti~h. E pension is only possible 'ov means of importing workers from
outside the County (or retaining those ~vho leave as they come of age). However. the
County is losing its competition for labor with other jurisdictions reflected by the 'tact that
58° ~ of resident ~:vorkers commute to jobs outside of Roanoke C ounty.
Simply desi;nating sites for economic development on a land use map may not 'oe a
sufficient strate;y. The County must address the outflow of labor and its causes. This
may necessitate a change in thinking about the sectors to emphasize in economic
development efforts. While the present economic structure supports a high percentage of
whits collar jobs, these ma}~ be in mature industries with little growth potential and little
to offer the young entry-level worker. These workers may losing the competition for
what entry-level jobs there are with retirees willing to work part-time or as volunteers.
.~1 -'~,
another thing to consider is housing availability fbr the entr~~-level wage earner. The
Profile on page ~~ indicates that "as housing costs have increased, many new or first time
home buyers wire priced out of the markzt." Lack of at~ordable housing may be a
constraint on econonuc gro~~rth.~
another possible constraint on economic ~'owth alluded to earlier may be land supply.
The Plan on p.~6 indicates that '?here is a limited amount of developable land in Roanoke
County.'" The Plan does not indicate how much laud is deg: elopable or how much ~viil bz
needed by future commercial and industrial uses. Tlie Plan also identifies residential and
ta,.Y-e:tempt uses as the main competitors of economic development for developable land
.gain no indication is givzn of the amoum of land that :vill be demanded by these
competing uses. another competitor for Land will be resource conservation. Tlie most
likely resource to compete with economic development will be a~•iculture. It ~.vould ba
useful to quantify the resource conszr<-ation objectives in order to determine if this
competing land use will be a. constraint on economic development.
It might be useiitl to inte~•ate the P:conomic Development Strategy Report into the
economic Development Plan section or the Cotnmurut~~ Plan. Ln particular the `impact
measures" could'oe incorporated as objectives and ~•tatad in numerical quantitative terms.
Tlus would provide morn specific ;uidance for policy, permit an assessment of
fzasibilitv.:uid a yardstick by which to measure pro~•ess of plan implementation.
In conclusion. I would repzat the obsa:~, anon I made in my October Q letter that the
reasonableness of a comprehensive plan must be judged in quantitative farms. The
incornoration ,~fthe infortnation mom the Proriie document is a.n unportant ten. Tlia
ne~;t Stan is to consider the implications ~f this information or the a.ciuavement ~~f Plan
objzctivcs. T'ne zdoptars of the Plan ou~lit to be intareste%i in ~vhathar lcluaT. ament of
these objectives ~.viil ba constrLLinad ;~y !imitations ~~f da~:-e:o~abla land. labor suonit-~.

Re: Roanoke County Community Plan
1~- ~-
The following is a list of comments I have for our 1 December 1998 work session with the Board
of Supervisors:
• Principal Industrial Future Land Use: How much of the designated land is currently
vacant, has utilities available and could be developed by a prospective industry?
• Core and Transition Land Use
1. How much of the designated land is currently vacant, has utilities available and could
be developed by a prospective business?
2. Along Rt. 460 East, Peters Creek Road, Rt. 11 East, Rt. 419 and Rt. 221 South; the
Core and Transition designated areas are not very deep. This will only allow strip type
development. Is this the type of office, institutional, retail, multifarnily, and single fazzaily
attached developrnezzt the County is looking for?
• Conservation and Ruzal Preserve: These two designations require 10 acre and three
acre lot sizes. 'This type of development stretches the ~xecessary sezvices requited fzom the
county, such as, school buses, fire and emergency, and garbage pick up. Should the plan
have strong incentives for cluster type developments instead of a last sentence stating, "
Cluster developments are encouraged."?
• Neighborhood Conservation: This designation is for existing neighborhoods that may
have in-fill potential or community rc-development. Thew are several areas in this
designation that are actively being developed or aze undeveloped at this tune and should be in
11,20/1998 05:18 5~038'r~0'3 E J MILLER CONST CO PAGE 03
~w
the Development designation. Also, greeAways, bikc and pedestrian trials are suggested for
these in-fill developments. Does it make since to have gzeenways, and bike and pedestrian
trials in existing neighborhoods that da rat have any trials currently. Most of the
developments in this designation will be small, in-fill types that may not have an existing
trial within miles.
• Utilities: Are the Development, Transition, Core and Principal Industrial designations in
location where existing utilities are located'? Or, at least, in the County's current plan. for
extensions in the neaz future.
• Greenways, bike and pedestrian trials: Village Center, Neighborhood Conservation,
Development, Transition, Core and Principal Industrial designarions all require or suggest
greenways, and bike and pedestrian; trials. Are these trials coordinated with existing
greenways and trial plans? .Also, are the proposed trials to be provided by the County? And
are they planned according to a master plan to connect these trials to existing and future
commercial developments`? Without a master plan, there could be several short isolated trials
that do not provide theix intended purpose of a interconnected system throughout the county.
• Economic Development: There has been a lot of discussion with County staff about a goal,
even though it is unwritten, to get our tax base to: 75"/o fram residential and ZS"/o from
commercial. This plan does not provide how the County proposes to achieve this goal. If
this is our plan for the next 10 to 15 years, it should have a specific goal and a plan to
achieve that goal.

~ was a resident of the Roanoke Region far 44 years untlJ !moved in
March 1998. to the New River Valley. For the last 30 years ;have been active in
the Construction and Development Industry. 1 watched Roanoke County grow up
in the sixties and seventies, I remember traveling Rt.119 through the farmland
and watching the construction of Rt.419 and the urbanization of the county.
1 can't say that J support all of the de~relopment or rather the fashion in
which the development occurred. !also share the belief witf`~ the majority of
citizens in Roanoke County that our region is a beautiful place to live and work. I
therefore have taken an active interest and role in the shaping of Roanoke
County' s fiuture.
In 1991 J worked actJvely and aggressively on the zoning ordinance
adopted in 1992. I served on the Blue Ridge Parkway Committee helping identify
critical view sheds and when the Roanoke County 2010 Visioning Process
began, 1 served on the steering committee and chaired the housing section.
When the Comprehensive Plan process began (served on the Citizens Advisory
Committee and participated on a neighborhood council
With this involvement and background I am not surprised with the
outcome of the Draft Community Plan, but I don't feel that it adequately
addresses all important elements of the Roanoke County Vision- 1n the Year
2010, While the citizens wanted "a beautiful, exciting, and friendly place to live,
work, and play", they also wanted "a variety of job and career opportunities."
They wanted "a wide variety of housing styles and prices from which to choose."
And one reoccurring theme was that the citizens wanted a place for their children
to live, work, and play. To accomplish this goal we need a strong economic
development program that creates new and better paying jobs in our region.
Population growth in the Roanoke MSA between 1986 and 1996 was
2.7%, which is well below both the Region (9%} and the State (15%}, if we are
looking for no growth, f would say we have already been successful. f do not feel
that this success will achieve the Visions developed by the. Citizens of Roanoke
iv~~r•?0~ 1998 2,`;bP41 i~CR PROPERT`r MGMT
Nn.9~b0 P, 3
County. Without growth and with demands of greater services, better education, ~~ °~`
transportation, etc. we wJll be faced with increased monetary needs and a lack of
funding without increased taxes.
I therefore advocate that the county not give up their 75%l25% goal, but to
rather aggressively plan and promote their Economic Development efforts. -It's
one thing to say where we want to be in 2Q10 and another thing to get us there.
The current draft of the Community Plan wit( help protect our surroundings but
does not have the balance to achieve our vision,
1
f would like to see staff do a more thorough review of existJng (and uses
and identify inventories available of undeveloped properties~~and underutilized
properties. I would further Ilke staff to evaluate the land useplan based on future
projections of population and goals for economic development growth,
Staff should be commended for their efforts in the development of this
plan but I don't believe it is complete. i would Tike to see more immediate
attention to the concepts of cluster housing and increased Censitfes to preserve
our scenic beauxy, but we need these tools in place now.
I am apposed to the adapting of the Rt.419 Frontage Plan as a part of the
Community Plan. l believe this document is outdated and is` in conflict with the
proposed land use maps. If the Board feels that it should be adopted, then I
suggest that staff should just amend the plan to not be in conflict with current
land use or future land use, If there are certain sections that the Board wants
included, then ~vhy not include only those sections and theiY allow citizen review
and input before adapting.
I remain willing to work on this project with the hope and desire that the
finished product will accomplish our vision, and with the selfish desire that my
three daughters upon graduating from college will have a place to live and work
in the Roanoke Region.
Respect~fuiiy/submitted,

Dear Mr. Harrington and Ms. Scheid,
I am writing to expand on my 10/6/98 comments related to the
proposed Community Plan. And right from the start I wish to
compliment you on completing this difficult task so promptly
after the disruption caused by John Hartley's departure.
~- 7.
I read, recently, comments by the Hom`builders criticizing the
Community Plan as too environmental. My response to their
complaint is based on my own participation in the Visioning
meetings and in the Neighborhood meetings. In my view you
have employed adequate and effective public involvement
techniques to ascertain the views of the community and the
proposed Community Plan addresses the ;.slues raised by
Roanoke County residents. I have. reviewed my notes and many
of the concerns raised over t??e last ~ years did relate to
quality of life and environmental issues and the Plan has
responded based on an increasing bode of scientific
knowledge about our community.
Tree Protection
The tree protection recommendation on page 108 is a good
example of good policy based on good science. The 5th
Planning District Commissions Land Cover mapping and 2
independent studies on tree cover indicate an ordinance is
warranted. In a few weeks the remote sensing/ GIS scientists
at VPI & SU will complete an additional tree cover survey
and soon after the United States oldest conservation
organization, American Forests, will have additional
information. An "urban ecological analysis" has been
prepared for many US cities and a similar analysis is
underway for the Roanoke Valley.
Several reputable scientists and natural resource managers
characterize the Roanoke Valley as a mini Los Angeles basin
beginning to experience some of the environmental impacts
that have plagued that city.
A 1996 study by the Natural Resources Defense Council ranks
Roanoke as the most polluted city in Virginia with respect
to small particulate matter(PM10) and 16th most polluted in
the nation. In the summer about half our air pollution blows
in from the Midwest and. gets trapped in our bowl like
Valley. Often inversions cause stagnation of air and health
r
2 ~~~ `~
problems result. 63 deaths per 100,000 each year are
attributable to air pollution in the Roanoke Valley.
New national standards for ozone developed by EPA result
from evidence up and down the Appalachian Mountains that
ozone levels are increasing. The Roanoke Valley has exceeded
national standards for ozone on several occasions recently.
Trees are showing signs of damage as a result of excessive
ozone in National Park Service studies from the Shenandoah
N.P. to the Smokies.
Streams near our community on the National Forests indicate
higher levels of acid precipitation in recent years.
Since much of the Roanoke Valley's a.ir pollution comes from
the Midwest and from auto/truck traffic locally, the
Region's air pollution is expected to increase. Trees are
our best means to mitigate air pollution since trees are
known to sequester many pollutants and cool our community.
Developer who remove trees are required in Roanoke County to
provide retention ponds to prevent downstream damage. Trees
left or replaced. not only mitigate storm water runoff but
also cleanse the air. American Forest's Citygreen software
is now available to establish a dollar value for these
benefits and others that result from the presence of trees.
Developers in Virginia Beach and Northern Virginia as well
as other parts of the South have accepted urban tree
conservation and the economic advantages tree protection
offers. Some of these homebuilders and realtors are major
financial contributors to the Virginia Urban Forestry
Council.
Page 109 # 12 recommends storm water management techiniques
such as grassy swales. I would refer you to Prince George's
County, Maryland's Design Manual For Use Of Bioretention In
Stormwater Management as a valuable reference. I would
propose allowing credit in any tree ordinance for installing
bioretention areas.
Fire Protection
Recently, the dry weather has brought to our attention the
potential for serious fires in mountainous terrain.Weather
records located in the Asheville, NC Center reveal for the
Southern Appalachian Mountains during the 1890's a serious
drought occurred. and fires similar to those in the Lake
States were disastrous .From 1890 through the 1960's weather
records show every 10 years dry weather resulted in multiple
large wild. fires. Since 1963 the Roanoke Valley and
surrounding mountains has been blessed. by a lack of
disastrous wild fire.
At some point our mountains will experience dry weather
3
again. In this modern era, however, the risk is greater
because more people are living all over the mountains.
Subdivisions exist along ridgelines and along any moderately
sloped terrain leading up to ric'.ges. People who live on the
side or crest of a mountain are likely unaware of the fire
storms and extraordinary energy a wild fire can generate.
Along with erosion and viewshed protection, fire hazard is
and risk to life and property is another valid reason to
limit development of mountainsides and ridgelines.
Economic Development
Surrounding Roanoke County there are over 450,000 acres of
public land administered by the National Park Service (AT &
BRP), U.S. Forest Service, Game Commission, and Local
Governments. Marketing of these resources to attract
visitors to the mote]_s, resturants, outdoor equipment
suppliers, and other retailers in Roanoke County has never
been done well.
A system of scenic byways has been designated specifically
to help visitors enjoy recreation resources near our County.
New motels and old have an opportunity to provide van tours
during the Fall foliage season, to work with tour bus firms,
to market self guides audio tapes, and to assist with
outfitter and guide services.
The now funded BRP Visitor Center in fine, but at the old
Railroad. Station downtown why not establish a joint
operation where public agencies cooperate with local
marketing of attractions and resolve some of the Board of
Supervisors concerns about money contributed with no result.
Establish a one stop location for visitors to obtain
information on public land recreation opportunities and make
reservations. Assure the Counties businesses benefit.
To ca;oitalize on the resources we have is it possible to
search for an Eastern catalog sales operation to be Located
in the County, to attract outfitters and guide operation
like the Nantahala Outdoor Center, or to seek out outdoor
equipment manufacturers. Are we a walking community with a
strong emphasis on Greenways? Why not initiate an All
American Walking Award with the involvement of realtors
hospitals, public agencies, tour bus companies, corporation;
and the hospitality ind~atry - featuri;Zg wellness?

Education
The aging population in SW County means their is a growing
need to educate Seniors. The Brambleton Center is valuable.
Nearby, the heavily used Roanoke County Headquarters Library
needs to be protected with additional land acquisition to
allow for future expansion. Land use maps should reflect
this need.
Continue the Counties efforts to support Hollins College
with beautification along Williamson Road, viewshed
protection, and business regeneration.Roanoke County should
be very proud and supportive of Hollins College.
Page 62 second bullet is right on track about multiple use
of schools. Expanding education programs for seniors in
areas such as use of computers is critical as more people
retire or explore second careers.
Greenways should link schools, libraries, parks, the
Brambleton Center, and other cultural facilities to allow
better access for the young as well as seniors.
Transportation
Bus services have never been popular with County residents.
However, our aging County population is confronted with a
transportation system growing in complexity and traffic.
There is a need (certain to increase} for a system of public
transportation for the young and for seniors. Private
suppliers do not seem to be meeting this need.
The attractiveness of our County transportation system has
been a subject of discussion by the Board of Supervisors in
the past. Other communities in Virginia have succeeded in
landscaping key entry points and interchanges often with
corporate participation. The Peters Creek and Williamson
Road intersection is an example of one success in Roanoke
County. More tree planting and landscaping should be our
objective. The City of Roanoke is looking to Lynchburg as a
model. Like Houston, Texas, Lynchburg has allowed Corporate
sponsors to landscape and advertise within carefully
developed guidelines.
Outdoor signing is an area where I believe the Community
Plan needs to address to problem with additional citizen
input. Some existing signs are badly located. Just prior to
passing under the Pumpkin Line underpass going from
Tanglewood toward Salem are 2 signs on the right that
distract drivers at a location subject to frequent
accidents. My wife and I were struck from behind while
5
waiting for the traffic signal to change. The other driver „„
and 2 children were distracted by the signs announcing some
event. We both were injured and our car was totaled. Yes, I
support your efforts to eliminate some outdoor advertising!
After studying I-73 for the last 6 months I strongly support
the Board of Supervisor's position that I-73 should not be
built on the Western Location through Roanoke County.
Neicihborhoods
I strongly support the use of impact fees to offset the cost
of services for new development. There is no reason new
developments should not be subject to a fair share of the
cost of services. More and more communities are looking at
these costs and recognizing tax revenues from the
development don't pay for the added cost of services.
Your plan addresses revitalization of older neighborhoods. I
see new families replacing older residents often where I
live. The service trucks begin to show up and repairs and
restoration progresses. I'm not sure this is a problem in
many places.
In Richmond, Va I would refer you to the Department of
Community Development where projects to redevelop old ~,
neighborhoods are underway. A corporation named G-~~'=]~ ~-~,~~~'~~''''~"
located in Philadelphia and another from Detroit are
initiating projects to revitalize old neighborhoods and
business districts.
I believe Roanoke County needs to look again at assisting
existing business centers such as Tanglewood Mall and Oak
Grove Plaza as part of your neighborhood conservation role.
Greenways
I believe Roanoke County should work with VDOT to provide
more bicycle compatible facilities as a part of highway
projects - both new and reconstruction. Cities like Dayton,
Ohio, the home of Huffy Bicycles have organized bike-a-thons
and brought in many corporations. Corporate competition to
raise funds for new facilities has been extremely keen and
Dayton's success has been showcased by the Rails-To-Trails
organization.
Congressman Goodlatte has succeeded in getting considerably
more money allocated to Virginia for highways. Must all that
money be spent for Interstates? Let's go after a larger
allocation for Roanoke County's 6 year plan.
Thanks for the opportunity to comment on this excellent
plan. My ideas are not meant to be critical.
Sincerely, `'/~

Dear Bob:
I am writing on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Roanoke Valley
Association of REALTORS. The Association represents over 1,000 REALTOR and
Affiliate members, the majority of whom work and reside in Roanoke County. We are
interested, personally and professionally, in the future of Roanoke County. For that
reason, I have reviewed the County's proposed Comprehensive Plan.
Our Directors have expressed three concerns with the proposed Comprehensive
Plan. First, we are concerned that the process did not provide sufficient time for
comments on the proposed Plan. The Plan, dated September 30, 1998, was not widely
distributed until late October. Though we~ppreciate the Supervisors' agreeing to delay
their vote until January, the November 20 deadline for comments did not allow adequate
time for organizations to review the Plan and provide input.
Second, our Directors are concerned that the Plan does not contain a
comprehensive plan for economic development, especially needed to pay for many of the
other elements contained in the Plan. Finally, we are concerned that the downzoning and
property restrictions contained in the Plan constitute the essence of a taking without a
plan for compensation to the property owners.
The Association's Board of Directors respectfully requests an extension of the
public comment period and a delay in the Supervisors' vote to allow these issues to be
addressed.
Sincerely,
Copy to: Board of Directors

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: December 1, 1998
AGENDA ITEM: Consideration of Additional Holidays declared by Governor
Gilmore for State Employees
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
BACKGROUND:
Each year, as the Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday season approaches, the Governor of
Virginia has traditionally given state employees additional holidays. Until this year,
Roanoke County has followed the state schedule. However, on January 13, 1998, the
Board of Supervisors amended the handbook and eliminated the language calling for
Roanoke County to follow the state holiday schedule. The Board left the language that
"reserves the right to amend the holiday schedule at any time and to increase or decrease
the number of holidays observed." Attached is a copy of that Board Report that set the
1998 holiday schedule and amended the Employee Handbook (Attachment A).
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
This year Governor Gilmore has given the state employees additional holidays at
Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. In addition to the regular holidays, Governor
Gilmore has closed the state offices for two additional full days and two additional half-
days. A copy of the Governor's Press Release is also attached (Attachment B). At
Supervisor Minnix's request, I am bringing to the Board a request for consideration of
these additional holidays. The Roanoke County courts have indicated that they will follow
the state schedule and this will affect employees in the Clerk of Circuit Court's Office, the
Sheriff s Office and the Commonwealth Attorney's Office.
Staff has surveyed the other Roanoke Valley governments for information on their regular
1998 Holiday Schedule and any additional holidays that their employees will receive this
year. The results of the survey are listed below:

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend authorizing one additional holiday on Christmas Eve, Thursday, December
24, 1998; and further recommend that all County employees including the Constitutional
Offices follow the same holiday schedule.
We may want to adopt the 1999 Holiday Schedule at the organizational meeting on
January 4, 1999. Attached for your consideration is a 1999 calendar with the holidays
circled (Attachment C).

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: January 13, 1998
SUBJECT: County Holiday Schedule for Calendar Year 1998
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The Roanoke County Employee Handbook incorporates a schedule of 11 paid
employee holidays, for regular, full-time County employees. On these days, most
County offices are closed and most employees can enjoy the day off as a part of the
County benefit package.
In 1997, the Governor authorized three additional holidays for State employees around
the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's holidays. Following the Employee
Handbook, these additional days were also authorized in 1997, for Roanoke County
employees. In granting these additional days, the Board of Supervisors also amended
the Employee .Handbook to remove the granting of additional days authorized by the
governor. The purpose of this Board Report is to approve the County holiday schedule
for 1998 and amend the Employee Handbook to reflect the Board's earlier action.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors ratify the following holiday schedule
for the 1998 Calendar Year:
New Year's Day
Lee-Jackson-King Day
George Washington Day
Memorial Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Columbus Day
Veteran's Day
Thanksgiving Day

In addition, by the Board's earlier action, the Employee Handbook was amended to
remove the following sentences:
Chapter IX - Leaves of Absence
K. HolidaYSchedule
" The following days shall be observed as holidays.
a-IeQaN~l+d~ay~ for .The Board of
Supervisors reserves the right to amend the holiday schedule at any time
and to increase or decrease the number of holidays observed. For those
offices that remain open on designated holidays or do not follow the
established holiday schedule, the total number of paid holidays shall not
exceed 11 eight-hour working days or 88 hours.

The problem that we have had with not awarding Governor-designated holidays
is the inconsistency in the number of holidays received by County employees
and employees in the constitutional offices. When the Governor declares a
holiday, the five CO's follow suit, and that accounts for almost 150 employees.

Sample Resolution
HB 599 Funding
WHEREAS the General Assembly passed HB 599 in 1979 as part of a legislative
package intended to direct additional state financial assistance to cities in exchange for
the loss of authority to annex land in surrounding counties; and
WHEREAS one type of state financial assistance included in HB 599 was payment to
cities, towns and counties with police departments, which was intended to compensate for
the disparity between state funding for local police departments and sheriffs' offices; and
WHEREAS the Virginia Code directs the Governor and the General Assembly to
increase the total amount of HB 599 funds to be distributed each year by the anticipated
percentage change in state general fund revenues; and
WHEREAS funding for HB 599 was reduced from $80.5 million to less than $67 million
in fiscal year 1992, and has remain frozen at that level since 1992; and
WHEREAS, based on annual general fund growth rates, the total amount of HB 599
funding would have increased to $151 million by fiscal year 1999 if the state had funded
this program in accordance with state law; and
WI~REAS if the state had funded this program in accordance with state law, the (city,
town or county of _~ would currently be receiving $ per year from the state
instead of the $ which it is currently receiving. If (locality name) were
receiving the higher amount of funding, it would be able to (USE ONE OR MORE OF
THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES): pay for additional police officers, OR reduce
the real estate tax rate by cents, OR another example of your choosing.
WHEREAS by fiscal year 2000 the total amount of funding that the state would have
distributed to localities since the HB 599 program's inception if the law had been
observed will be $610 million; and
WHEREAS since the program's inception the total amount of funding that the state has
failed to distribute to (locality name) totals $ ;and
WI~REAS the commonwealth benefits when the relationship between the state and its
local governments is based on mutual trust and support;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Governor and General Assembly shall
develop a plan to fully fund HB 599 by the year 2000, and that the amendments to the
1998-2000 budget enacted during the 1999 General Assembly should include a
substantial increase in this program beginning in fiscal year 1999.

Marty Robison is working on one titled "Request to Advance Remainder
of Funds for the Renovation of High School Science Labs" . (We have
written the report, we are just waiting on his attachment). This is
to free up the amount that the Board "escrowed" when they advanced
the science lab project.
