AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: October 12, 1993
AGENDA ITEM: Consideration of Alternatives to Fund Road
Projects Eliminated by the Reduction of VDOT
Revenue Sharing.
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Roanoke County has been notified by the Virginia Department of
Transportation that our Supplemental Revenue Sharing Match has been
reduced from $200,000 to $172,600 for a total allocation including
VDOT's match of $345,200. As a result of this reduction, four
projects have been eliminated from the Priority List. They are
Buckland Mill Road, Drake Circle, Irondale Circle and Bradshaw
Road.
Buckland Forest Roads:
Buckland Mill Road has been in need of repair for several years.
The residents in the Buckland Forest area have been meeting with
staff for two years to try to upgrade their roads to plant mix and
complete the necessary repairs to Buckland Mill Road. They have
committed to raising the matching share of funds to improve these
roads, and have raised $4,000 of $13,100 needed for their share.
They have been advised that their roads have been removed from the
revenue sharing priority list and are very disappointed.
There are several methods available to complete repair of these
roads:
1. The residents could wait and see if there are funds available
in this year's incidental construction fund. If these funds
are used, it would be late 1994 or early 1995 before
construction begins. This method would not require a match
from the residents.
2. The residents could continue to raise the funds. Staff
believes there will be sufficient savings from the 35 other
revenue sharing projects to accomplish these projects. This
would require us to wait until the other projects are
15-I
completed or are far enough along to determine the savings.
If there are insufficient savings from the revenue sharing
projects, staff could come back to the Board to request funds
for the remaining balance.
4. The area residents could wait until next year's revenue
sharing program takes place. Staff will be addressing this
with the Board in the spring of 1994.
Bradshaw Road Culvert
This is a Roanoke Valley Resource Authority problem and could be
constructed using Resource Authority Funds.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the residents continue to raise their share
of the funds for Buckland Mill Road, Drake Circle, and Irondale
Circle. The County would match their share with savings from the
other revenue sharing projects. If additional funds are necessary,
staff will come back to the Board for consideration at that time.
Staff recommends that the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority be
encouraged to fund the entire Bradshaw Road culvert project at an
approximate cost of $22,000.

ITEM NUMBER _ (J O
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: October 12, 1993
AGENDA ITEM: Request for an amendment to the terms of the contract
governing the Roanoke County - Botetourt County Joint Library.
COUNTY ADMINISTRATORS COMMENTS: 7f �""
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The 1986 contract which established the Roanoke
County - Botetourt County Joint Library contains provisions for the
allocation of continuing operations costs between the two
localities. The original terms of the contract call for a
decennial review of the allocation of costs following each census.
Costs are to be apportioned based on facility usage or size of
service area. The Botetourt County Board of Supervisors, acting on
an earlier recommendation made by the Joint Library Committee, has
voted in favor of conducting a usage study in FY 1995-1996 instead
of waiting until FY 2000-2001. The Roanoke County Board of
Supervisors, if it agrees with the Botetourt County action, needs
to formally endorse the change in the terms of the original
contract. Any resultant recommended cost adjustments would be
subject to the approval of the respective governing bodies.
BACKGROUND: The original terms of the Joint Library contract
established a 50% cost sharing arrangement between the two
localities. Section Three of the contract provides for regular
adjustments of the operating cost allocations based primarily on
the usage levels of the joint facility by the citizens of the
respective localities. Original terms of the contract mandated an
adjustment review following every Federal Census of the population.
Although size of the service area is also mentioned as a possible
cost allocation factor, in practice this has not been used. It
appears that designation of the decennial review was principally a
matter of convenience. The original 50% division of costs was
adjusted in FY 92/93 to a 25% share for Roanoke County based on
usage studies conducted in 1990 and 1991. The Joint Library
Committee, which by contract is charged with collecting and
analyzing cost allocation data and recommending adjustments, also
recommended that the process be repeated in 1995/1996. It was felt
that ten years is a long period to be locked into an allocation
2
agreement based on a relatively short period's survey data, and
that a five year period would result in a fairer and more accurate
assessment process. It is perhaps noteworthy that the newly
established Chesterfield County -Richmond City joint library relies
on annually collected usage data to formulate cost allocations each
year.
FISCAL IMPACT: Increased frequency of cost allocation review could
possibly lead to an accelerated increase in Roanoke County's
financial obligation to support the Joint Library. As an example,
if usage levels by Roanoke County residents were to rise by an
increment of 5% to a proportion of 30%, our current year's funding
obligation would rise from $30,724 to $36,869. By the same token,
a decline of 5% would save the County approximately $6,145 per
year. The library staff, at this time, thinks that it is highly
unlikely that the usage rates would change by more than 5% in
either direction. The library staff also believes that given the
current growth rates of Botetourt's population within the Joint
Library's service area, and the prevailing commuter patterns within
the Roanoke County sections of the service area, it is probable
that Roanoke County's citizens' proportionate usage would either
remain stable or decrease.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Leave the current contract agreement intact,
which preserves the County's obligation at 25% until after the year
2000; risk of possibly higher costs is avoided, but so is the
possibility of lower costs. 2) Request more frequent (ie., annual
or biennial) assessments of usage and adjustment of costs. 3) Act
to revoke or substantially rewrite the contract.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Library staff recommend that the Board agree
to allow the Joint Library Committee to conduct a usage study and
to propose suggested cost allocations in FY 95/96. The Board of
Trustees has reviewed this suggestion and also supports this
course. The Board of Supervisors would remain free to accept or
reject the Joint Library Committee's suggestions.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: October 12, 1993
AGENDA ITEM: Request to Approve an Amendment to the Roanoke
Regional Airport Commission Contract
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: r
This amendment would reduce the number of passenger enplane-
ment surveys from six (6) per year to two (2) per year.
BACKGROUND:
Section 15(b) of the Roanoke Regional Airport Commission
Contract provides that the Roanoke Regional Airport Commission
shall conduct six surveys per fiscal year to determine the number
of County passengers enplaning at the Airport. The contract
provides that the County shall make certain payments to the
Commission based upon certain airport services and facilities being
provided to County residents. These surveys are used to determine
the number of County residents receiving such services.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The airport commission staff believes that semi-annual surveys
would be more than sufficient for determining the number of County
passengers using the airport. As Jacqueline L. Shuck stated in her
letter of September 24, 1993, "Historically, the number of County
passengers far exceeds the minimum required to support the County's
$264,640 annual payment. In fact, use by County residents or
businesses has substantially exceeded the minimum percentage of
approximately 1.76% in every one of the thirty-seven surveys
conducted thus far."
Attached for Board consideration is the letter from Ms. Shuck
and the draft amendment.
FISCAL IMPACTS•
Each survey costs approximately $600.00 to perform. This
amendment would eliminate 4 surveys annually, saving approximately
$2400 per year.
D-3
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board approve the proposed
amendment and authorize the County Administrator to execute the
First Amendment to the Roanoke Regional Airport Commission Contract
on behalf of the County.

Dear Elmer and Bob:
In response to Elmer's letter of August 27, 1993, please be advised that the bimonthly
passenger enplanement survey is conducted in accordance with Section 15 (b) of the contract between
the City, County and Commission. Although the contract specifies that there shall be six surveys per
year, members of my staff feel that quarterly surveys are all that we need for our market information
and that semi-annual surveys would be more than sufficient for determining the number of County
passengers using the airport. Historically, the number of County passengers far exceeds the minimum
required to support the County's $264,640 annual payment. In fact, use by County residents or
businesses has substantially exceeded the minimum percentage of approximately 1.76% in every one
of the thirty-seven surveys conducted thus far.
Since each survey costs us approximately $600.00 to perform, I think it would be beneficial
to the Commission if the agreement were amended to reduce the number of enplanement surveys
conducted each year. I have taken the liberty of having a draft prepared of a possible amendment.
Please let me know whether City Council and the County Board of Supervisors are interested in
pursuing this, and whether the amendment, as drafted, is acceptable.
Very truly yours,
J9aqueline L

budgets, often requiring increases in local taxes; and
WHEREAS, the cumulative impact of these legislative and
regulatory actions directly affect the citizens of our cities,

Association of Counties and the Virginia School Boards Association
are working with localities, school boards and organizations across

counterparts, and supports working with the national groups to
fully inform our citizens about the impact of federal and state
mandates on our governments and the pocketbooks of our citizens;
THAT the Board of Supervisors plans to redouble efforts to
inform members of our Congressional and General Assembly

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: October 12, 1993
AGENDA ITEM: Appointment of a committee to negotiate with Salem
Cable TV upon terms for renewal of a franchise to
operate a cable television system in a portion of
Roanoke County.
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Roanoke County's current franchise agreement with Boothe
Communications Company, doing business as "Salem Cable TV," to
operate a cable television system within a portion of the county
adjacent to the City of Salem will expire on or about May 22, 1994.
A committee composed of Edward G. Kohinke, Dr. Harry C. Nickens,
Dr. Jane James, Joseph B. Obenshain and Anne Marie Green is
recommended to negotiate terms for the renewal of this franchise
agreement with Boothe Communications Company's local representa-
tives.
BACKGROUND:
Immense changes have occurred in the cable television industry
over the past fifteen years culminating in the passage of The Cable
Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the
111992 Cable Act" hereafter). Equally significant for Roanoke
County was the renegotiation of its franchise agreement with Cox
Cable Roanoke, Inc., in 1991 which is resulting in substantial
increases in channel capacity, extension of service, an increase in
the franchise fee, a fiber optic institutional network, free cable
service to county schools and governmental buildings and more PEG
channels. This impending franchise renewal process offers an
opportunity to bring to county residents within the area served by
Salem Cable TV the opportunity for equality of services to those
offered to county residents by Cox Cable Roanoke, Inc.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
A committee is proposed consisting of five individuals who
have direct interest or experience in the issues which are
anticipated to be of most direct concern in the renegotiation of a
franchise agreement with Salem Cable TV, a Boothe Communications
Company. The qualifications of the individuals proposed are as
�+ V
follows: Edward G. Kohinke, member of the Roanoke County Board of
Supervisors representing the Catawba District served by Salem Cable
TV; Dr. Harry C. Nickens, member of the Roanoke County Board of
Supervisors and the Roanoke Regional Cable Television Committee
(R.R. CATV Comm.) on which he serves as vice-chairman; Joseph B.
Obenshain, Esq., Senior Assistant County Attorney, served as legal
counsel for the county during negotiations with Cox Cable Roanoke,
Inc., for franchise renewal in 1990-91 and currently the County's
legal counsel to the R.R. CATV Comm.; Anne Marie Green, Roanoke
County's Director of Community Relations and member of the R.R.
CATV Comm. including serving on its Operations subcommittee; and
Dr. Jane James, Director of Media Services for Roanoke County
Schools and a member of the R.R. CATV Comm.
FISCAL IMPACTS•
No direct fiscal impact upon Roanoke County from the negotia-
tion process is anticipated. Additional revenue for the County may
ultimately result from any increase in the franchise fee which is
negotiated as part of the franchise renewal process.
ALTERNATIVES•
1. Approve the appointment of the designated negotiating
committee.
2. Develop an alternative approach for conducting negotia-
tions with representatives of Salem Cable TV for renewal of their
franchises.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of Alternative 1.
