Home My WebLink About5/9/1995 - Adopted Board RecordsA-5995-1 ACTION NO. ITEM NUMBER AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: May 9, 1995 AGENDA ITEM: Proposal for Roanoke County to Join Sister Cities International COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: BACKGROUND: Roanoke County entertained its first visitor from Japan, Mr. Masaaki Hasimoto, in the Autumn of 1990. The visit was part of a program arranged by the Academy for State and Local Government here in the United States and the Council of Local Authorities for International Relations in Japan. The purpose of the program is to promote understanding and friendship among state and local governments of all nations. Roanoke County has continued its participation in the program each year since 1990. Roanoke County has also participated in the Virginia Local Government Management Association's Managers to Managers program. VLGMA is directing an exchange of local officials between various communities in Poland and Virginia and there was an exchange of visits between Roanoke County and the city of Opole, Poland, during 1994. The purpose of the program, which is funded through a grant from the United States Information Agency, is to help cities in Poland develop effective local government democracies. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: In view of our support and involvement in these programs, it seems appropriate to consider the advantages of membership in Sister Cities International (SCI). G-1 Briefly, SCI is dedicated to the goal of furthering global understanding by encouraging and assisting U.S. communities and their citizens to link with similar communities throughout the world. An affiliation develops when an American community links with a community in another nation. The goal for the communities involved is to learn more about each other and to develop lasting friendships and helpful exchanges. SCI acts as a coordinator and catalyst to encourage various types of sister cities activities and serves as a clearinghouse to gathering and sharing information. I have attached a leaflet and a brochure which will give additional information on SCI and the Roanoke Sister Cities program. Advantages of SCI membership? 1. SCI is the official organization in the United States that is registered and recognized by the Department of State. 2. By joining, we would become a member of the larger community of Sister Cities and have access to the huge repository of information that is available there. 3. SCI is seen as an agency for international development and recognized by the US Information Agency. SCI receives grants for various activities. 4. Members receive a certain number of newsletters quarterly. 5. There is a reduced cost for publications and other materials available from SCI. There are many publications for such things as fund raising and publicity. 6. Technical assistance available through a state coordinator in Norfolk. 7. Reduced costs on conferences, seminars and regional training. There are conferences on such subjects as economic development, trade, arts exchange, and youth exchange. 8. SCI assists in finding future partnerships. We have discussed our situation with Mr. David Lisk, Roanoke City Coordinator for SCI. Based on his understanding of what we have done and on our interest in the possibility of pursuing a Sister City arrangement, Mr. Lisk encouraged us to consider doing so under the local umbrella that already exists, rather than on our own directly with SCI. Although he is the Roanoke City Coordinator, Mr. Lisk feels the setup could be expanded to include other local governments in the valley and could probably be renamed "Roanoke Valley" or "Roanoke Region" Sister Cities. Mr. Lisk has initiated 13 Sister City arrangements in Virginia. The city of Roanoke now has SCI arrangements with Wonju, Korea; Kisumu, Kenya; and Pskov, Russia. They will soon be adding Florianopolis, Brazil, a city of about 350,000 population on the lower coast of the country. What are the steps to proceed? 1. Have the county and the city or cities with whom such and arrangement is desired, each complete a profile form. 2. Get the city councils of those cities and the county board to agree to become associates of the Roanoke Valley Sister Cities program. 3. Prepare an agenda item to make it official. 4. Appoint a committee of 30 to 35 people to administer the program. a. Select officers for the committee. b. Pick someone from the committee (probably 2 people) to serve on the Roanoke Valley Sister Cities Board. How would we select the committee? Mr. Lisk suggested that we have someone from the County, and himself, go around and solicit committee members through civic leagues, civic clubs and other such organizations to find interested people. Fiscal Impact With application for membership directly through SCI, the cost is based strictly on population. In the case of Roanoke County, the annual dues would be $375. With application through the local umbrella the dues would be negotiated, probably about $200 per year. CONCLUSION: It is recommended that we apply for membership in SCI through the local Sister Cities umbrella. SUBMITTED BY: Don Myers Assistant County Administrator APPROVED: Elmer C.

An affiliation develops when an American community of whatever size or character officially links with a community in another nation. The goal for the communities involved is to learn more about each other and to develop lasting and meaningful exchanges. The ideal affiliation involves a large number of citizens and organizations in both communities engaging in exchanges of people, ideas and cultures on a long-term, continuing basis. The national association provides a mechanism for U.S. communities to enter this program by assisting them in the process of linking with a community in another country. It acts as a coordinator and catalyst to encourage various types of sister cities activities and serves as a clearinghouse to gather, analyze and share information, research and knowledge. HISTORY: Affiliations between cities in the United States and other countries began shortly after 1945, but no real national focus was realized until 1956 when President Dwight D. Eisenhower initiated the People -to -People Program at the White House. Out of this grew Sister Cities International which has assisted more than 870 U.S. cities and counties, representing over 125 million Americans, establish links with some 1,400 communities in 92 other nations of the world. MEMBERSHIP: Sister Cities International is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization incorporated in the District of Columbia in 1967. The association has five categories of membership: Government member, Ambassador Association, Individual member, Service/ Institutional member, and Corporate Sustaining member. Association activities are also supported by private contributions, foundation grants and by funding support from the U.S. Information Agency and the U.S. Agency for International Development. LEADERSHIP: A 34 member board of directors governs Sister Cities International with assistance from an international executive board. The board of directors is composed of 24 elected members; six directors appointed by the president, with the approval of the board; one director elected each year by the National Youth Program Assembly to serve as the youth representative and the dean of the Ambassador Association who serves for a one year term on the board. There are 11 officers - a president, a chairman of the board, a chairman of the executive committee, six vice-presidents, a secretary and treasurer. The 24 elected directors are elected at -large by and from the membership of the association at the annual business session — eight directors each year for three-year terms. A nation-wide system of state coordinators and state level management teams provides services to member cities throughout the United States and coordinates workshops to assist in training programs. State coordinators are appointed by the SCI board of directors. ACTIVITIES: In addition to policy, program development and member services, the organization coordinates and facilitates several major activities. They are: technical assistance programs with developing nations; youth and education programs; special conference programs; assistance in formalizing new affiliations; research and information service; the annual Eisenhower International Golf Classic and Eisenhower Scholarship Program; the Reader's Digest annual awards program; the Kanazawa Scholarship Program for entrepreneurial and practical trainee exchange; and leadership development training programs. MEETINGS: The association holds an annual conference in the summer which focuses on national and international issues. The annual conference alternates between East and West of the United States. In addition, state and regional workshops and training seminars are held to increase program skills at other times of the year.

ITEM NUMBER &-3 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: May 9, 1995 AGENDA ITEM: Renewal of Dental Insurance Effective July 1, 1995 COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: The County has received renewal rates from Delta Dental for the dental insurance premiums for County and School Employees. These rates reflect a 7% increase over prior year premiums. Funds are included in the 1995-96 proposed County budget to pay the increase in premiums for the current County and School Employees. The increase premiums will cost the County $50,000 which represents $20,000 for County employees and $30,000 for School employees. Beginning July 1, 1994, the County allowed School and County retirees to participate in the dental program on the basis that they would pay the entire premium of their dental insurance coverage and that their experience would not cost the County additional money. We are noticing trends that the retirees claims experience is higher than the current County and School employees. We would like to monitor this activity for an additional year and if it continues, in the future, we may propose limiting the retirees dental coverage to the basic plan (without caps and crowns) or charging the retirees a higher premium rate. FISCAL IMPACT: The County will incur an additional $50,000 for dental insurance for County and School employees. These funds are included in the proposed 1995-96 budget. The current County and School employees would be subsidized by the County as shown on Attachment A. The retirees would pay the entire premium. m:\finance\common\board\5-9-95.wpd May 4, 1995 G-3 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adopting the attached renewal premiums for dental insurance. The current County and School employees would be subsidized by the County as shown on Attachment A. The retirees would pay the entire premium. Respectfully submitted, Approve by, Diane D.

The week of May 21-27 is a beautiful time of year in western Virginia to host special events for such a purpose.

Additional assistance may be obtained by contacting Dave Dickson's staff at 804-371-8215. I am taking the liberty of enclosing a model local government resolution. If your jurisdiction passes this measure, it would be most appreciated if you would forward us a copy. To assist Mr. Dickson's office, we will also call later that month to record the events that took place, so that the Department can gauge the success of the week. In the mean time, we wish you the best as you plan your activities, and please do not hesitate to call if this office can be of any assistance.
