ITEM NUMBER
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION
CENTER
MEETING DATE: September 28, 1999
AGENDA ITEM: Request for Appointment of Negotiating Committee for Roanoke County to
Negotiate with Cox Com, Inc.,DB/A as Cox Communications, for Possible
Extension of Current Cable Television Franchise in Coordination with the City
of Roanoke and Town of Vinton, Virginia.
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
BACKGROUND:
The current cable television franchise between Roanoke County and Cox Communications
(presently operating as Cox Com, Inc.) (hereinafter referred to as "Cox") expires in May, 2003,
simultaneous with their franchise with the City of Roanoke and the Town of Vinton. Cox
Communications has expressed the strong desire to negotiate an extension of their franchise at this
time rather than waiting until 2003. Cox has recently announced its intention to invest $8.5 Million
in its physical plant , styled "Cox Digital Revolution", to upgrade their technological capabilities in
the Roanoke Valley to permit full digital television and high speed internet access capabilities.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
At a recent meeting of the Roanoke Valley Regional Cable Television Committee, Cox's
General Manager requested that the Committee express its support of an extension of Cox's franchise
with the three participating jurisdictions. In lieu of Committee action, the members agreed that legal
counsel should request guidance from their respective governing bodies as to the direction in which
each locality desired to proceed in response to Cox's request. The two apparent options to the local
governments are to undertake informal negotiations with Cox for an extension of their currently
existing franchise at this time or wait for at least two more years and begin either formal or informal
negotiations with Cox at that time for a new franchise agreement.
r � '
A brief description of the advantages and disadvantages of these options follows:
OPTION I: Extend Cox's existing franchise agreement for an agreed upon term:
Cox's request for an extension of their existing franchise coincides with their announced plans
for substantial capital investment in their infrastructure in the Roanoke Valley. An extension
of their cable television franchise should assist Cox in securing the capital investment which
is required for the improvement of their physical plant. These investments will assist the
Roanoke Valley in being on the leading edge of technology as we enter the 21 st Century. Cox
has proved to be a very responsible corporate citizen of the Roanoke Valley and extension
of their franchise would be perceived as a vote of confidence in their efforts. Potential
disadvantages of an extension of the current franchise include the inability to substantially
modify or improve the existing agreement and the opportunity to benefit from either
technological or legislative changes between now and May of 2003.
OPTION II: Refuse to negotiate at this time and wait to open negotiations in late 2002/earl 2Y 003:
This would allow the current franchise agreement between the three Valley jurisdictions and
Cox to run its natural course. The current wave of corporate consolidations within the tele-
communications industry and ongoing technological advancements may bring significant
changes to Cox's situation within the next three years. Formal renegotiation of a new
franchise agreement would permit the local governments to explore improvements in the
existing franchise. However, refusal to negotiate with Cox as they have requested may put
them in a much less cooperative attitude three years hence. Furthermore, there is the real
potential that Cox might either sell this franchise or be acquired by another and less desirable
cable system operator. In that situation, the Roanoke Valley governments might find them-
selves dealing with a much less cooperative entity; one which is much less willing to continue
to provide the level of investments and services which we have come to expect from Cox.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None anticipated at this time
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board approve Option I and appoint a negotiating committee
composed of Dr. Harry Nickens, Anne Marie Green, Dr. Jane James, and Jim Dickey to meet jointly
with representatives designated by the City of Roanoke, the Town of Vinton and Cox to explore
mutually acceptable terms for extension of the current cable franchise agreement.
Respectfully submitted,

ITEM NUMBER
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY,
VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: September 28, 1999
AGENDA ITEM: Request for $1,000,000 appropriation for site improvements at the
Center for Research and Technology
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
3Td:CCW. 41iP.(193
On March 11, 1997, Roanoke County held a press conference to announce the purchase
of a 457 acre site located on Route 11/460. The site, part of which would be used as a technology
and/or business park, is now known as the Center for Research and Technology. A Community
Advisory Committee with representatives from the residential and business community in West
Roanoke County was asked to participate in the development of a concept plan for the site. On
July 23, 1997, the Board of Supervisors approved spending $3,000,000 to purchase the site.
Payments were to be made over three years, and the last payment of $1,057,650 is included in this
year's budget to be paid in November. The cost of the economic development project was
estimated at $12,461,767 with Phase I, Stage I estimated to cost $5,370,852. Hayes, Seay,
Mattern and Mattern and Lumsden Associates were hired to conduct an Engineering Concept Plan
for the entire property and complete engineering design plans for Phase I, Stage I.
Because of the strategic location of the proposed project on VA's Technology Corridor and
its close proximity to Virginia Tech, Congressman Rick Boucher held a press conference on the
site on April 8, 1999 to announce his support of the project and to offer his assistance in
requesting federal funds for the industrial access road and recruitment of high tech firms.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
It is now time to construct some of the site improvements in order to mount an active
marketing campaign. To do so, we are asking that $1,000,000 be allocated for the project. These
funds will construct the sewer line, the entrance road and internal roadway spur for Phase I, Stage
I. The funds will be used as follows:
Sewer ($794,000): $250,000 of this cost is the boring of a tunnel under Interstate
81 ($600 per foot). The remainder of the total cost is laying the sewer line and
acquiring the easements. Economic Development is also applying for a $100,000
Rural Development Business Grant from the USDA to assist in the cost of laying the
sewer line. The deadline to apply is October 1, and it will be several months before
learning whether we will be awarded the grant. It is anticipated that sewer can be
extended to CRT by May 1, 2000.
�,""':—a
Road Improvements ($866,577): This will include a two lane entrance road (30
feet wide) with curb and gutter, and two cul-de-sacs in the approximate 2600 linear
foot roadway, landscaping and a distinctive park entrance sign with lighting.
Attached is a photograph of another business park entrance that may be used as
a model for the CRT entrance. We will apply for $300,000 funding from VDOT,
with another $150,000 in matching funds for the industrial access road. Less
money will be needed if the roadway length is reduced. HSMM has developed a
cost estimate for the entrance portion of the industrial access road and completion
is scheduled for June 1, 2000.
No additional funds for the water line will be needed at this time. The Utility Department has
funds budgeted in the CIP to cover the water line from Dow Hollow Road up Glenmary Drive, and
to the Phase I, Stage I development for the projected cost of $655,000. This is part of the North
Loop Transmission Line and Utility Director Gary Robertson has moved up construction of the line
to assist in getting water to North Roanoke County, the City of Roanoke and move this important
economic development project forward. The Utility Department has begun the bid process for the
24 inch water line along Glenmary Drive to the park entrance.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total amount that will be needed for site improvements is $1,660,577. At this time,
however, $1,000,000 is being requested to begin the sewer and road improvements. The Board
has expressed a desire to use Dixie Caverns money for improvements at CRT. We anticipate the
balance of these funds can be made up from grant revenues and design savings, along with
funding available from VDOT.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors appropriate $1,000,000 from the Dixie
Caverns Landfill Cleanup account to begin the site improvements at the Center for Research and
Technology.

Center for Research & Technology
Natural Stone Entrance Wall
In order to construct a entrance to the Center for Research & Technology that is environmentally
sensitive to the surrounding rural countryside, a natural block wall was chosen. As the industrial
access road veers to the left into the park from Glenmary Drive, it will be accompanied by a low
stone wall that leads up to the main entrance sign displaying the County seal and park name.
Followed by a corporate marquee of the same design and block. The entire entrance plan will be
a traditional design appropriate to the materials that are incorporated (similar to the above
photograph).

ACTION # 092899-3
ITEM NUMBER ' '
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: September 28, 1999
SUBJECT: Request to Increase Personnel Count at Spring Hollow Water Treatment
Facility
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
BACKGROUND:
The Spring Hollow Water Treatment Facility had an average production of four million gallons a
day prior to this summer. This production rate can be managed with one 8 -hour shift, 7 days a week.
The present staff includes a supervisor, 3 water operators, 2 laboratory technicians, and 1
maintenance person.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The recent water agreement between Roanoke County and Roanoke City has a significant impact
on the water treatment facility. A single 8 -hour shift can produce approximately 4.5 mgd of water,
with each successive shift producing 5 mgd. The agreement stands to increase average production
from 4 million gallons per day to 6 million gallons per day with peak production at 10mgd, and
moves the operation to two shifts, 7 days a week as shown below:
3 - 4 mgd Average production at Spring Hollow prior to July 1999
2 mgd Increased production to cover County water needs previously purchased from
Roanoke City
4 mgd Roanoke City capacity (when needed)
9-10 mgd TOTAL
The second shift has been operating since July 1999 by utilizing existing personnel on an overtime
basis. With implementation of the new agreement, a second shift will remain as the standard mode
of operation. Three new personnel (2 operators, 1 trainee) will be required to staff the second shift.
This would provide for basic operation only, and overtime will still be required to cover sickness and
vacation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Three additional personnel will cost approximately $90,000 per year. These costs are included as
a portion of the $821,250 increase in the water treatment facility production costs as shown on the
attached analysis. This analysis is based on Roanoke County producing an additional 2.25 mgd for
County use plus 1 mgd (yearly average) sale to Roanoke City.
In future years these costs will be covered by the $1.6 million savings by not purchasing water from
Roanoke City. Present year costs will be covered by the sale of water to Roanoke City.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the personnel count for the Utility Department be increased by three people.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER, 5204 BERNARD
DRIVE, SW., ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA ON TUESDAY,
MEETING DATE: September 28, 1999
AGENDA ITEM: Request to execute a Performance Agreement approving a
Public Private Partnership with Dragon Chemical Corporation
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Dragon Chemical Corporation is negotiating with County staff, the Industrial Development
Authority of Roanoke County and the Greater Roanoke Valley Development Foundation to
expand its manufacturing operations in Roanoke County. The Company blends chemicals
and produces pesticide products for use in homes and gardens. Burlington Biotech recently
purchased Dragon and determined that it needed to expand the building and capacity to meet
the market demands for their products. Dragon searched regionally for a location and
County staff proposed that the Company locate in the vacant 75,000 square foot "shell
building" constructed by the Foundation on a 17.3 acre tract in Valley Gateway in the Route
460 East Corridor. Dragon is negotiating with the Foundation to acquire the building for
$1,528,201.
Dragon Chemical Corporation is seeking $4,800,000 of Industrial Revenue Bond financing
so that it can acquire the land, purchase equipment, complete construction of the shell
building and employ 110 employees. The Company desires to have the building remodeled
and be in operation by October 1, 2000. The estimated total new tax revenues over a 5 -year
period from real estate, personal property and machinery and tools is $250,642.
The 105 acre Valley Gateway Business Park is a joint development effort initiated in 1996
by Roanoke County, Fralin & Waldron, the Authority, and the Foundation. Roanoke County
received a $200,000 industrial access road allocation from the Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT) in February 1997 and partnered with Fralin & Waldron to construct
C— C
the road, make entrance improvements on Route 460 and extend public and private utilities
to the site. The Industrial Access Road Fund requires that a "qualifying industry" must
locate within 3 years of the road project approval or the locality must reimburse VDOT for
its allocation.
The County also purchased a 17.3 acre site from Fralin and Waldron for $260,440 and
donated it to the Foundation so that a shell building could be constructed. A multi-party
agreement was executed by the development partners stipulating that the occupant of the
shell building would have an investment goal of over $10 million within three years of
occupancy. The estimated tax revenues from this investment would pay back the County for
the purchase of the land. If a manufacturing company met the investment goal, the Authority
could discount the note on the land and release the Foundation from its obligation to repay
the County for its purchase of the land.
Dragon Chemical Corporation's investment of $4,800,000 will generate enough taxes to
meet half of the investment goal. Staff has calculated that the Company could meet the goal
if the Board of Supervisors would consider a payback period of 5 years. Also, staff
conversations with the Virginia Department of Business Assistance indicate that Dragon is
a "qualifying industry" and will relieve the County of its obligation to reimburse VDOT for
the road costs.
The total amount of estimated new taxes of $250,642 over 5 years will provide the Board of
Supervisors a 5 -year payback on its original investment. These new tax revenues, combined
with $64,000 which the County will receive when the property is sold to Dragon, will more
than cover the $196,000 discount of the note and the $90,000 of proposed incentives for
utility connection fees for water, sewer, fire service, and a site development grant. Staff
recommends that the Board of Supervisors authorize the County Administrator to execute
a performance agreement with Dragon Chemical Corporation on a form approved by the
County Attorney.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff estimates that new tax revenues of $250,642 and the $64,000 from the sale of the land
will more than offset the $90,000 public private partnership funds and the $196,000 note
payment within 5 years of occupancy. Funds for the Utility connection fees have been
appropriated to the Economic Development Capital Account as part of the FY 1999-2000
Budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors authorize the County Administrator to
execute a performance agreement, on a form approved by the County Attorney, with Dragon
Chemical Corporation that would authorize the County to expend public private partnership
funds in the amount of $90,000 for utility connection fees and site development and
recognize a 5 -year payback period for this company.

ITEM NUMBER
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY,
VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: September 28, 1999
AGENDA ITEM: Appropriation of Compensation Board reimbursement for additional capital
purchase for the Commonwealth Attorney's Office.
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: During the course of a fiscal year, the Compensation Board
reimburses localities for specific expenses relating to the operations of the Constitutional
Officers. Reimbursable expenses include salaries, fringe benefits, certain operational costs,
and limited capital expenditures. An additional capital item has been funded by the Comp Board
for the Commonwealth Attorney that was not included in the original budget appropriation.
During the course of some fiscal years, Compensation Board budgets are not depleted and,
upon request of the Constitutional Officer, may be reallocated to cover previously unbudgeted
items. The Commonwealth Attorney has requested additional funds from the Compensation
Board for the purchase of 2 replacement computers. The Comp Board has approved this
request (copy of approval attached) and the reimbursable cost is $3,114.
FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact to County funds. Approval of this request will increase state
revenue reimbursements and the expenditure budget by equal amounts.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends an appropriation adjustment to increase
revenues from the state for Compensation Board reimbursement by $3,114 and to increase the
Commonwealth Attorney's budget by $3,114.
