AGENDA ITEM:
Acceptance of a $20,000 grant from the Foundation for

imaging cameras for the Back Creek and Bent Mountain

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.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE:
January 25, 2011
AGENDA ITEM:
Request to transfer $11,073 of Community Policy and
Management Team funds to Roanoke County Schools to
correct a miscalculation in the amount approved in December
2010
SUBMITTED BY:
Daniel R. 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.

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.
VOTE:
Supervisor Altizer moved to approve the staff recommendation.
Motion approved.
