ITEM NUMBER: E —
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CENTER
MEETING DATE: February 24, 1998
AGENDA ITEM: Request for approval to order police vehicles under the current state
contract for delivery after July 1, 1998.
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
J
BACKGROUND:
Police vehicles to be purchased under the state contract for the next fiscal year must be ordered prior
to adoption of the 1998-99 budget, with delivery after July 1, 1998. Over the past several years, the
Police Department has received approval from the Board of Supervisors to order the vehicles to
minimize expenditures.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The Police Department will replace 10 police vehicles because of high mileage and poor mechanical
condition making them no longer suitable for police service. The total cost is $198,480 with a cost
per vehicle of $19,848. Although the state contract expires on April 30, 1998, the vendor for the
state contract has indicated orders for police vehicles will not be accepted after March 31, 1998. To
avoid an anticipated increase in cost per unit, the order needs to be placed prior to March 31, 1998.
Board approval is required to encumber next year's funds during this fiscal year. The requested
encumbrance is within the Department's target budget allocation. The vehicle replacement is
consistent with the County policy and all vehicles being replaced meet or exceed the guidelines
provided in the policy.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no additional fiscal impact since funds for the purchase of these vehicles are included in the
Fiscal Year 1998-99 Police Department target budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends approval to order the vehicles and the funding commitment to facilitate the
purchase of vehicles.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION
CENTER
MEETING DATE: February 24, 1998
AGENDA ITEM: Initiation of Spot Blight Abatement Program
in Roanoke County
-CQUNTY ADMTNTSTRATOR'3 COMMENDS:
Recommend approval of this process on a case by case basis. In each case we will determine the
cost of removal of deteriorated buildings and offer the means of collecting expenses from the
property owners. We have at the present time a case where this process needs to be initiated. It
is an unsightly and dangerous building on Route 220 near the County line.
A number of abandoned and deteriorated buildings exist
throughout Roanoke County. Although relatively small in number,
and scattered in different locations, these blighted properties
can pose a health and safety hazard for the citizens of the
county. Many of these properties are unsecured. Property owners
near these buildings are not only concerned with the aesthetics
of the abandoned properties, but also with the use of these
properties by unauthorized persons.
When abandoned properties are discovered, County staff have
attempted to work with property owners to correct the health and
safety violations and improve the aesthetics of the property.
Because Roanoke County has not adopted the property maintenance
provisions provided for in the building code, our historic
success has been largely contingent on the owner of the property
being willing to voluntarily remove or secure the deteriorated
building and improve the property. In the more difficult cases,
property owners can not be found, or the properties are being
administered by out-of-state trustees who have little to no
incentive to invest in or improve the property.
The staff has reviewed the State Code and has found
authority for a program to address these abandoned and blighted
properties.
R P
2
The Code of Virginia provides a tool for localities to use
to improve or remove these blighted properties. Section
36.49.1:1 of the Code outlines a process and legal authority. A
three step process is outlined. In summary the process is as
follows:
1. The County would make a determination that the property
is blighted and notify the property owner by certified
mail of the location and condition of the blighted
property, giving the property owner 30 days to present
an acceptable plan to alleviate the blighted condition.
2. If a plan is not submitted, or is not acceptable to the
County, the County Administrator would request that the
Planning Commission hold a public hearing to make
findings and recommendations on the blighted status of
the property. The Commission's recommendations would
contain a plan for the repair or disposition of the
property. The property owner would be notified of the
date and time of the public hearing and of the
resultant Commission's recommendation.
3. Upon receipt of the Commission's recommendation, the
Board of Supervisors may hold a public hearing to
affirm, modify or reject the Commission's recommended
action. Again , the property owner is notified of all
scheduled hearings and actions.
If the Board of Supervisors accepts or approves an action to
alleviate the blight, the Board may authorize and direct County
staff to take whatever corrective action is necessary.
State law does not provide for the County to recoup its cost
through liens on the blighted property, however clear authority
exists for the County to exercise its powers of eminent domain to
acquire the property, abate the blight, and dispose of the
property, recovering costs associated with the abatement.
Each blighted property would have a specific alleviation
cost based upon the nature and extent of the blight, and the
recommended actions to correct the problem. The staff would
estimate the direct cost of implementing each plan, and would
include those costs in the Commission recommendation to the
Board. The cost of implementing the plan could be a factor in
—
3
deciding to proceed with the abatement.
Funds for any specific plan would need to be appropriated at
the time of the adoption of the plan and the directive to
proceed.
Staff recommends as follows:
1. That the Board authorize the staff to use this legislation
to correct and remove blighted properties in the County

AGENDA ITEM: Acceptance of the Local Government Challenge Grant from the Virginia
Commission for the Arts.
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: ,/
ct
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: Roanoke County applied for a Local Government Challenge Grant
from the Virginia Commission for the Arts. The Commission will match up to $5,000, (if full funding is
approved) any donation the County makes to qualified art organizations in the valley.
In the FY 1997-98 Budget, The Board of Supervisors approved an appropriation of $3,000 for the Arts
Council of the Blue Ridge, $8,500 for Mill Mountain Theatre and $7,500 for the Roanoke Symphony
Orchestra. Staff therefore, applied for the maximum grant allocation of $5,000. Roanoke County was
awarded $4,500 for FY 1997-98. This amount is less than the maximum due to the budget cuts suffered
by State agencies over the last several years.
FISCAL EMPACT: Staff recommends dividing the $4,500 grant evenly between the Arts Council of the
Blue Ridge, Mill Mountain Theatre and the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra. Combined with the County's
appropriation, the following amounts would be available to the organizations referred to above:

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY,
VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: February24, 1998
AGENDA ITEM: Acceptance of Increased Funding for the Victim -Witness Program Grant from the
Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:- �.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: Roanoke County has been awarded grant funding from the Department
of Criminal Justice Services to continue assistance provided by the Victim -Witness program administered
by the Commonwealth Attorney's office. This program provides and promotes sensitive treatment of the
victims and witnesses of a crime and to minimize the inconvenience endured as a result of their involvement
in a court prosecution. Funding is provided by both state and federal monies and administered at the state
level by DCJS.
This grant (and the related funding) has been awarded to the County for a number of years and allocation
of revenue and expenditures have been included in the annual budget process. For FY1997-98, the state
increased funding significantly to provide for a full time position to meet the growing demands of this
program. Funding was increased from $5,373 to $37,858. Notification of this increase was not received
until after approval of the FYI 997-98 budget.
FISCAL IMPACT: There would be no fiscal impact to Roanoke County. 100% of the cost of this program
is funded by federal ($30,287) and state ($7,571) funds.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends increasing appropriated revenue from the state in the
amount of $32,485 (difference between current budget appropriation and actual award) and increasing the
expenditure budget of the Victim -Witness Program by $32,485.
