REQUESTS TO POSTPONE, ADD TO, OR CHANGE THE ORDER OF AGENDA ITEMS Paul Mahoney, County Attorney, added a briefing regarding the state budget C. BRIEFINGS Mr. Mahoney distributed a VML legislative bulletin which outlined the current status of the state budget deliberations. He advised that the House Appropriations leader introduced a bill to fund the state operations for the 2005 fiscal year. He noted that little detail was presented. The bill will go to the House on April 6 for consideration. C. WORK SESSION 1. Joint work session with Roanoke County School Board to discuss fiscal year 2004-2005 proposed budget. (Elmer Hodge, County Administrator; Dr. Linda Weber, Superintendent) Time: 5:38 p.m. until 6:12 p.m. 1 Penny Hodge, Director of Budget and Finance for Schools, outlined the school's proposed fiscal year 2004-2005 budget, and advised that the budget is subject to change since information is not yet available regarding state funding. It was noted that the average daily membership, which dictates funding for the year, has changed significantly in the last 2-3 years. Staff has not yet determined if this is an anomaly or indicative of a recurring change. School Board Member Stovall moved to approve the fiscal year 2004-2005 budget for Roanoke County Schools. The motion was seconded by School Board Member Barrineau. The motion was unanimously approved. Mr. Flora, in his capacity as Director of Operations for Schools, provided an update on the school construction projects at Mountain View, Herman L. Horn, and Oak Grove Elementary Schools. He advised that all three buildings are under roof and the new construction area will be occupied by the end of May 2004. The projects are anticipated to be completed by December 2004. D. ADJOURNMENT Chairman Flora adjourned the Board of Supervisors meeting at 6:12 p.m. Chairman Canada adjourned the School Board meeting at 6:12 p.m. 2 Roanoke County Board of Supervisors Agenda March 31, 2004 Good afternoon and welcome to our special meeting for March 31, 2004.

E ~- March 31, 2~4 ~ ~ S House Proposes Partial Budget On March 30 House Appropriations leaders introduced anine-page budget bill to fund state operations for the 2005 fiscal year, which begins, July 1. The House Appropriations Committee met the same day and reported HB 5008 (Callahan and Putney) on a 14-3 vote. The House is scheduled to meet again Tuesday, April 6, to take up the bill on second reading. The bill appropriates a lump sum of funding for each secretariat (such as transportation, education, finance and natural resources) or general division (such as VRS, Office of the Governor, and Judicial Department). It does not appear to appropriate funding for individual agencies or programs within those secretariats or divisions. Gov. Mark R. Warner and Senate Finance Chairman John H. Chichester have stated their opposition to the bill and their desire for atwo-year, budget. Warner said that he would veto the bill if it reached his desk. While local leaders want a state budget sooner rather than later -- for obvious local budgetary reasons -- local leaders also need systemic change in funding of state commitments. Local governments have consistently urged the governor and legislature to enact tax and spending reforms that stabilize state and local revenues and budgets for the foreseeable future. The House proposal of yesterday only offers a stopgap measure, but no solution. The prospect of tax reform occurring next year with statewide elections scheduled seems highly unlikely. The message to the legislature and governor on March 31, 2004 should be: 1) Please return to the negotiating table; and 2) Please reach an agreement that includes necessary tax reform that provides critical new state investment in state mandated services, including K-12 education. Overview of HB 5008 The bill directs the governor to "allocate specific amounts among the agencies and entities within each secretariat or division to carry out the duties of agencies and entities in conformity with all relevant language in the adopted 2003-2004 budget, as amended by the 2004 General Assembly to apply to fiscal year 2004." These amendments to fiscal year 2004 were contained in HB 29, which the General Assembly passed during the closing days of the 2004 regular session.

Thornton Administrative Specialist _:~; _ .. 5937 Cove Road, Roanoke, Virginia 24019 www. res. k12. va. us ~~ SUPERINTENDENT'S BUDGET MESSAGE The General Assembly adjourned from the regular legislative session on March 13 without adopting a 1 2004-OS state budget. On March 17, Governor Warner reconvened the legislative bodies for a special session but as of this writing no budget compromise has been reached by the House of Delegates and the Senate. The state budget impasse has decimated the ability of local governments and school ' divisions to prepare and adopt their annual budgets. With approximately half of the school revenue budget generated from state sources and the other half from county taxes, it is impossible for the School Board to develop a realistic budget for 2004-OS. ' This budget document represents our best effort to build a budget based on the lowest state budget proposal (the House version). It rs berng presented to the governing body for no other reason than to 1 satisfy the letter of the law which requires the submission of a school budget to the local government by April Is` of each year. Consequently, the School Board reserves the right to amend this budget in any way deemed necessary once the state and local revenues are appropriated. ' This proposed budget includes funding primarily for 3% salary increases for employees, required state retirement contributions, health insurance rate increases, and teaching positions for rising student enrollment and student needs. The state revenues estimated in this budget reflect the House of Delegates budget proposal submitted during the regular legislative session. They may or may not reflect the actual state revenues to be appropriated for public education in Roanoke County. Reductions in either the state revenue estimates or the appropriation from the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors will require the amendment of this .submitted bardget to balance to available funding sources. f It is my deepest hope that the legislature will accept the responsibility they have been given by the voters of Virginia and adopt a budget that will adegt~utely support our school systems. 1 i Sincerely, _inda H.

The School Nutrition Program captures the revenues and expenditures for the school breakfast and lunch program. It is fully funded from lunch fees and reimbursements from the state and federal government. The Textbook Fund accounts for the purchase, sale, and/or rental of textbooks. ' This fund is highly subsidized by the School Operating Fund through an interfund transfer. The Grant Fund is funded by local, federal and state grants. The Capital Fund represents state funding for school construction and technology. The Debt Fund represents the payment of principal and interest for loans used to build/renovate school facilities. The Regional Alternative School is a jointly operated program between Roanoke County and Bedford County to provide alternative education services for troubled students. _; r~ 1 1 1 Budget Adoption, Implementation, and Evaluation The budget for the school division for the next fiscal year is presented at board meetings and work sessions in February and early March. On or before April 1 of each year, the School Board adopts the next fiscal year's budget and submits to the Board of Supervisors for approval. The school division operates as a legally separate component unit. However, the school division is fiscally dependent upon the County of Roanoke for its funding. The final adoption and appropriation occur in May of each year. The last step in the budget process is the evaluation of the financial plan. The results of operation for the fiscal year are set forth annually in the School Board's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and the Superintendent's Annual School Report to the Virginia Department of Education. The Roanoke County Public Schools received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada and the Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Association of School Business Officials International for the 2000-O1 and 2001-02 CAFR's. The 2002-03 CAFR has been submitted to both organizations for review this year. The Certificate of Achievement and the Certificate of Excellence represent the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting. The attainment of both awards represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management. FY 2004-OS Special Considerations The General Assembly adjourned from the regular legislative session on March 13 without adopting a 2004-OS state budget. On March 17, Governor Warner reconvened the legislative bodies for a special session but as of this writing no budget compromise has been reached by the House of Delegates and the Senate. This budget document represents our best effort to build a budget based on the lowest state budget proposal (the House version). Consequently, the School Board reserves the right to amend this budget in any way deemed necessary once the state and local revenues are appropriated. 1 School Operating Fund Revenues Per Pupil Budget Percent Revenue 2004-OS of Total Per Pupil State Sales Tax 10,039,209 9.0% 711 State Revenue 43,584,616 39.3% 3,085 Federal Revenue 161,153 0.1 % 11 Transfer from County 56,413,149 50.8% 3,994 Beginning balance 121,583 0.1% 9 Other Revenue 667,262 0.6% 47 Total Revenues 110,986,972 100.0% 7,857 Estimated Average Daily Membership 14,126 Transfer from Other Alternative - School -Sales Tax Transfer from County State Revenue 7 Federal Revenue School Operating Fund Revenue Summary Actual 2002-03 Budget 2003-04 Budget 2004-OS Increase (Decrease) Local Revenue Local Appropriation-County 54,693,491 55,572,940 56,065,850 492,910 Transfer from Gen. - CSA 799,000 0 0 0 Transfer from Gen.
