Burch, Jr. Chief of Fire and Rescue APPROVED BY: B. Clayton Goodman III County Administrator COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: The Foundation for Roanoke Valley has served the Roanoke Valley and much of southwest Virginia for more than twenty (20) years and currently administers and makes grants from over 240 named endowment funds on behalf of the community. One of those funds is the Jacqueline S. (Jackie) and Shelborn L. (S.L.) Spangler Fund. The Spangler Fund is designed to make grants that benefit the communities in the Rt. 221 corridor from Cotton Hill Road up Bent Mountain to Check in Floyd County. The Fire and Rescue Department is gratified to receive the generous donation from the Spangler Fund which will be used to purchase two (2) thermal imaging cameras. The Back Creek (Station 11) and Bent Mountain (Station 8) fire/rescue stations will each receive one of the new thermal imaging cameras. A thermal imaging camera allows firefighters to “see” through smoke and darkness to find victims during fires by contrasting heat signatures. FISCAL IMPACT: The Spangler Fund will cover one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of the two new thermal imaging cameras along with any supporting equipment such as batteries and charging stations.

O’Donnell Assistant County Administrator APPROVED BY: B. Clayton Goodman III County Administrator COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: On December 14, 2010, the Board of Supervisors approved a transfer of local Community Policy and Management Team (CPMT) funds in the amount of $175,300 to Roanoke County Schools to continue school based counseling programs for the remainder of the school year. This was necessary as the Virginia Department of Education and Office of Comprehensive Services declared that these services were no longer eligible for state reimbursement. After this fiscal year, the responsibility for these programs will become solely a school responsibility. During the transfer of the contracts it was discovered that one case was omitted from the calculations. The additional cost for this case is $11,073. It is staff’s recommendation to transfer this additional sum to the school board to make them whole for this fiscal year as originally agreed upon. Page 1 of 2 FISCAL IMPACT The $11,073 will come from budgeted local CPMT funds. Despite this transfer there is a projected small surplus in this year’s CPMT budget. Therefore, there is no significant fiscal impact to the County. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the transfer of $11,073 from local CPMT funds to Roanoke County Schools to complete the transition of school based programs from the CPMT to the schools.
