Hyatt, Director, Finance A-051496-5 ACTION # ITEM NUMBER AT A REGULAR MEETING CI THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT '-E ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: May 14, 1996 AGENDA ITEM: Request to Approve a Sanitary Sewer Extension along Westward Lake Drive COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: �x+� BACKGROUND: In September of 1993, staff received a petition from the residents along Westward Lake Drive. This petition: requested that Roanoke County extend sewer service to their properties because of failing drain fields. The Board of Supervisors approved a preIlminary engineering study of this area in November 19-3. This study indicated that approximately 12 prc;perties could be served at a c:)st of $60,000 or $5,000 per property. Because only seven properties were willing to pay the construction costs at that time, the cost to those properties rose to slightly over $8,000. This cost made the project not feasible at that time. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: The citizens of this area continue to request that public sewer be installed. There are still six or seven property owners willing to pay $6,500 each to have public sewer. If the sewer line is constructed while the contractor is on-site completing phase I of the north transmission line, a savings of more than $5,000 should be realized. If this sewer line is constructed, it will allow two existing homes with failing septic systems to have access to punliu sewer; one new home under construction would connect to public sewer instead of installing a septic system; anc'. at least three undeveloped residential iots, could be developed if public sewer were available. FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated cost of the project at this time is $55,000. Staff has tentative commitments from six property owners at a cost of $6,500. This would require that $16,000 be allocated from the unappropriated balance of the Utility Department Sewer Fund. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the project be approved if a minimum of six property owners participate at a cost of $6,500 each (which would include the $1,500 off-site facility fee); • and a sewer service area be established for this area for a period of ten years as shown on Attachment "A"; that property owners that fail to participate at this time but connect at a later date would pay the $6,500 construction cost plus the sewer off-site facility fee in effect at the time of connection (presently $1,500); • that $16,000 be appropriated from the sewer fund to be replenished as other properties connect; • that the full $6,500 paid by property owners be applied to construction costs until those costs are recovered by Roanoke County.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: te-4� This agreement accepts a voluntary contribution in lieu of a service charge from Lutheran Family Services of Virginia ("LFSV") in an amount equal to 20% of the real estate tax rate. LFSV is a 501(c)(3) organization, organized and operated to conduct child welfare and family services, with administrative offices located at 2609 McVitt.y Road, Roanoke County (Tax Map Parcel 76.11-2-21). A disaar_sement has arisen between LFSV and the Cou:ity with respect to its real estate property tax status. Thio agreement attempts to resolve this dispute. This agreement authorizes the Commissioner of the Revenue to make a determination that LFSV is exempt from local real estate and personal property tax, so long as LFSV continues to operate and use this property in a manner that makes it eligible for tax exempt status. This agreement exonerates LFSV from all taxes previously assessed against it beginning with the 1994 tax year and authorizes a refund less the amount of a voluntary contribution equivalent to a 20% service charge of the real estate tax rate. This voluntary contribution is a payment in lieu of taxation for certain necessary and essential government services provided by the County. 1 �F 3 This agreement avoids a protracted dispute over this issue. The current assessed value of the land is $168,300, and the real estate tax is $1,901.80. The value of the building is $242,700, and the real estate tax would be $2,742.51. The total annual tax bill is $4644.30. If a 20% service charge were applied to this property that amount would be $928.86. Although LFSV is not required to pay this service charge, it has agreed to make a voluntarily contribution of an equivalent amount. It is recommended that the County Administrator be authorized to execute this Agreement on behalf of the County and in conjunction with the Commissioner of the Revenue accepting a voluntary contribution in lieu of a service charge on Lutheran Family Services of Virginia ("LFSV") in an amount equal to 20% of the real estate tax rate.

LFSV is incorporated as a section 501(c)(3) organization, for charitable, religious and educa zonal purposes, and more specifically, is a church affiliated social ministry organization of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and a religious association organized and operated to conduct child welfare and family services; and, WHEREAS, the Commissioner believes that LFSV should seek property tax exemption through specific designation by the General Assembly; and, WHEREAS, in order to avoid a protracted dispute over this issue, and in consideration of the determinations made and actions taken herein, the parties agree as follows: E� 1) The Commissioner shall make a determination that LFSV is exempt from local real estate and personal property taxation by statutory classification pursuant to Sections 58.1-3609 and 58.1-3617 of the Code of Virginia.

The County may issue RANs in an extreme emergency beyond the County's control or ability to forecast when the revenue source will be received subsequent to the Liming of funds needed. C. The County will issue RANs for a period not to exceed the one year period permitted under the Constitution of Virginia, Article VII Section 10. VII. General Obligation Bonds A. The Constitution of Virginia, Article VII Section 10, and the Public Finance Act provide the authority for a County to issue General Obligation (GO) Debt with no limit on the amount of GO Debt that a County may issue. B. The County may issue GO Debt for capital projects or other properly anprovec! Projects 4 C. All debt secured by the general obligation of the County must be approved by the Board of Supervisors and a public referendum, with the exception of Virginia Public School Authority (VPSA) Bonds and State Literary Fund loans which do not need approval by referendum. VIII. VPSA Bonds and State Literary Fund Loans A. School capital projects may be constructed with debt, either through VPSA Bonds or State Literary Fund Loans, and refunding bonds with preference given to accessibility and interest rates. B. Approval of the School Board is required prior to approval by the Board of Supervisors. IX. Revenue Bonds A. The County may issue Revenue bonds to fund enterprise activities, such as water and sewer utilities, or for capital projects which will generate a revenue stream. B. The bonds will include written covenants which will require that the revenue sources are sufficient to fund the debt service requirements. C. Cost of issuance, debt service reserve funds and capitalized interest may be included in the capital project costs and thus are fully eligible for reimbursement from bond proceeds. X. Capital Acquisition Notes and Leases 5 A. The County may issue short-term notes or capital leases to purchase buildings, machinery, equipment, furniture and fixtures. XI. Moral Obligation Debt A. The County may enter into leases, contracts, or other agreements with other public bodies which provide for the payment of debt when revenues of such agencies may prove insufficient to cover debt service. B. Payment of such moral obligation debt service will be done when the best interest of the County is clearly demonstrated. C. While such moral obligation support does not affect the debt limit of the County, the amount of bonds issued with the County's moral obligation should be controlled in order to limit potential demands on the County. There is no legal obligation, but the County is placing its good name and reputation on the line and there is every expectation that the County would make good any deficiencies when a default exists. XII. Disclosure and Communications A. The County will maintain good communications with bond rating agencies to inform them about the County's financial position by providing them the County's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and Operating and Capital loprovements Budget. 11 B.

Lee Eddy and Spike Harrison are the current Roanoke County appointees to the Executive Committee. Membership on the Executive Committee has also conferred membership on the Roanoha Valley MPO. Recent PDC and MPO charter changes, approved by all of the participating member localities, necessitate that Roanoke County make distinct appointments to the MPO. Although our current members can remain appointees to both bodies, a separate MPO membership appointment is required. Appointments to the MPO will be for a three year term beginning July 1, 1996. At least one appointee must be a member of the Board of Supervisors. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends as follows: 1. That current Executive Committee and MPO appointees Lee Eddy and Spike Harrison be reaffirmed and appointed as members of the Roanoke Valley MPO.
