AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA
HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
MEETING DATE: January 9, 2001
AGENDA ITEM: Request for Appropriation of Final Year -End Balance from School Operations for
Year Ended June 30, 2000
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS:
1 talked with the School staff and I support their request. The new construction and remodeling of existing
facilities is going forward as planned. This request will accommodate other ongoing capital needs. This is
an opportunity to keep up the existing facilities and equipment.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: As a result of year-end operations, school revenue exceeded the
budgeted amount by $691,389, while savings in our major spending categories accounted for $1,783,813.
This generates a year end balance for school operations of $2,475,202. The details of the budget to
actual comparison for the year ended June 30, 2000 are shown on Attachment A.
In past years, the Board of Supervisors has allowed the School Board to purchase school buses with year-
end funds and set aside the remaining funds for other speck purposes. The Attachment B outlines the
school staff requests for capital and/or non-recurring expenditures that have not been funded within the
regular school operating fund. The School Board approved this recommended list of appropriations at its
meeting on December 11, 2000. The School Board cannot proceed with the expenditure of these funds
until the County Board of Supervisors appropriates the funds.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The School staff requests that the Board of Supervisors appropriate the
year-end balance for capital/non-recurring expenditures as outlined on the Attachment B and that the
unallocated balance of $115,098 be appropriated to the school capital fund for future school capital needs.

A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: January9, 2001
AGENDA ITEM: Request for Funding to Match a $175,000 TEA -21 Grant to
Construct the Green Hill Park Section of the Roanoke River
Greenway.
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
You may recall this was brought to you in work session on December 19, 2000 and was
discussed as a use of the year-end surplus. These funds are now part of the General Fund -
Unappropriated Balance and we feel comfortable taking it from that account.
BACKGROUND:
The Roanoke River Greenway was identified as the backbone of the Roanoke Valley
Greenway system in the Conceptual Greenway Plan that was adopted by all the Valley
governments in 1997. Since that time both Salem and the City of Roanoke have
proceeded with the development of various sections within their respective localities. In
1999 Roanoke County and the City of Salem formed a partnership for the purposes of
soliciting grant funds for the construction of the Roanoke River Greenway from Green
Hill Park to the City of Salem/City of Roanoke boundary on Apperson Drive. As part of
the grant process Roanoke County agreed to provide matching funds to construct that
portion located in Roanoke County.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
On December 21, 2000 Parks, Recreation, and Tourism staff and Liz Belcher,
Greenway Coordinator for the Greenway Commission, held a work session with the
Board of Supervisors to update them on the status of the Roanoke River Greenway and
to outline the proposed plan of action for the planning and construction of the Roanoke
River Greenway in Roanoke County. As part of the presentation, staff presented plans
regarding the joint effort of Salem and Roanoke County to complete portions of the trail
utilizing a $300,000 TEA -21 grant that had been awarded to Salem and Roanoke
County. Staff from Salem and Roanoke County met and decided to allocate $175,000
of this grant to construct the Green Hill section of the trail with Salem retaining $125,000
to engineer the remainder of the Roanoke River -Greenway to be located in Salem. The
total cost of the Green Hill project is $222,100 and will include approximately one mile of
paved trail, a parking lot, landscaping, and site amenities. The use of TEA -21 funds
requires at least a 20% local match. At the work session the Board supported
proceeding with the construction of the section in Green Hill and directed staff to bring
forward a request for matching funds. Consequently, staff is requesting matching funds
of $47,100 to complete this project.
FISCAL IMPACT: Operating impact is negligible as maintenance staff currently
maintains the proposed site. The $47,100 to complete the project will need to be
appropriated from the General Fund Unappropriated Balance.
ALTERNATIVES:
Alternative 1. Appropriate $47,100 from the General Fund Unappropriated Balance as
matching funds for the construction of the Green Hill section of the Roanoke River
Greenway.
Alternative 2. Do not approve funding.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends alternative 1, appropriating $47,100 from the General Fund
Unappropriated Balance to allow for the construction of the Roanoke River Greenway
in Green Hill Park.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: January 9, 2001
SUBJECT: Appropriation of Funds to VML/VACO for Assessment for Electric
Power Negotiations
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
di�� JtA-�
BACKGROUND:
The VML/VACO Steering Committee consists of local government officials within the
American Electric Power service area. The committee was established to negotiate reduced
electric service charges with AEP for the local governments. Roanoke County's current contract
with AEP was approved in 2000 and expires June 30, 2002.
Previously, negotiations with AEP would begin six to eight months before the contract expires.
These changes will necessitate that planning and/or negotiations begin much earlier. Because of
deregulation, "Customer Choice" will become available to all customers beginning January 1,
2004 and to some customers immediately.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
While AEP is legally obligated to continue to supply power to local governments after the
contract ends June 30, 2002, they have made it clear that future rates to local governments
should be at market rates. Industry experts feel that this could result in a rate increase of up to
18%.
There are steps that local governments can take to minimize these impacts and prepare for a
restructured electric industry. The steering committee has recommended that the following steps
be taken:
➢ Pursue legislation to ensure that governmental electric customers have "rate cap"
protection until July 1, 2007. Delegate Terry Kilgore has agreed to introduce it in the
2001 session.
➢ Negotiate with AEP to "unbundle" their rates into distribution, transmission and
generation components. (Even if Roanoke County chooses another supplier for
electricity we will continue to pay AEP for distribution and transmission).
➢ Monitor and participate in proceedings at the SCC and expected legislative activity.
➢ The probable need to develop an RFP for the procurement of electric service after
deregulation. This could happen through either a Cooperative Procurement, Joint Powers
Agreement, or an Electric Procurement Association. (See Attachment "A"). At this time
the Steering Committee is recommending that we pursue the development of a joint
entity for the procurement of electric power.
FISCAL IMPACT:
While it is difficult to estimate the amount of legal and consulting assistance that will be needed
over the next few years, the Committee has recommended a budget of $500,000 for the next
three years. This would be $200,000 at this time, $200,000 on July 1, 2001, and $100,000 on
July 1, 2002.
Roanoke County's share of the $500,000 budget is $31,372.50 of which $12,549.00 is due at this
time. The remaining funds can be included in the next two fiscal year budgets.
The $12,549 assessment could be charged as follows: —
General Fund $4,183
Roanoke Co. Schools $4,183
Utility Fund $4,183
The school administration has been contacted and are agreeable to their share of the assessment.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff feels it is very important that Roanoke County take the appropriate steps to be prepared for
a restructured electric industry and recommends that$12,549 be paid to the VML EPR Fund.
Staff recommends that $4,183 be appropriated from the Board Contingency to pay the General
Fund portion. The remaining portions will be paid by the Utility Fund and the Schools.

ATTACHMENT "A" E—
Outline of Three Organizational Options For Local Governments
to Collectively Procure Power and
Some Advantages and Disadvantages of Each
I. Cooperative Procurement — authorized by Va. Code § 11-40.
A "public body may participate in, sponsor, conduct, or administer a cooperative
procurement agreement with one or more public bodies" including the State and federal
government. "Public body" is very broadly defined in Section 11-37 to include any type
of governmental authority, committee, board or political subdivision.
[Note: Virginia Electric Utility Restructuring Act currently does not expressly authorize
counties, cities and towns or other political subdivisions to aggregate with the
Commonwealth or the federal government for the purchase of electricity. Va. Code § 56-
589.1
Cooperative procurement agreement cannot be done on behalf of government and non-
government entities (except in one express situation unrelated to procurement of electric
services).
• Any public body joining with a local government which has adopted alternative
procurement provisions must comply with the alternative provisions of the "sponsoring
government." In practice, the public body actually conducting the procurement on behalf
of all of the public bodies involved in the cooperative agreement follows its own rules.
II. Joint Powers Agreement — authorized by Va. Code § 15.2-1300.
Local political subdivisions may enter into a joint powers agreement with other political
subdivisions (but not with the Commonwealth) to exercise jointly any privilege or
authority which each could exercise independently unless an express statutory procedure
is otherwise provided for the joint exercise. Local governments joining together for tis
purpose would not be an "aggregator" under the Restructuring Act required to obtain a
license from the SCC. Va Code § 56-576 and -589 (2000 Supp).
III. Electric Procurement Association — established pursuant to joint powers authority (Va.
Code § 15.2-1300) and § 15.2-1303.
• Section 15.2-1303 of the Code of Virginia allows local governments to "form and
maintain associations for the purpose of promoting, through investigation discussion and
cooperative effort, the interest and welfare of the several political subdivisions of the
Commonwealth ...."
• During the 2000 General Assembly Session, Senate Bill 383 was adopted amending the
Public Procurement Act such that any public body may enter into contracts for the
purchase of electric utility services without competitive sealed bidding or competitive
negotiation "if purchased through an association of which it is a member if the
association was formed and is maintained for the purpose of promoting the interest and
welfare of and developing close relationships with similar public bodies, provided such
association has procured the ... electric utility services by use of competitive principles .
..." Va. Code § 11-45(c) (2000 Supp).
Utilizing the authority in the two foregoing statutes, political subdivisions could form an
association, administered by the VML and/or VACo and affiliated with them to purchase
power. The membership and the organizational documents could be drafted consistent
with the joint powers act. Thus the members who join the association are joining with
each other to issue a request for proposal and negotiate the purchase of electricity for
consumption by each member. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 56-576, the association
would not be an "aggregator" which must be licensed by the SCC. Also, as stated above,
while the association must follow competitive principles in seeking bids for power, it will
not be bound by the precise notice and timing requirements of competitive sealed bidding
or competitive negotiations under the Public Procurement Act.
Advantages of Utilizing Cooperative Procurement
1) May be a simpler method for a single transaction.
2) Some may perceive the ability of the government to choose to participate in a
cooperative procurement after the terms of the procurement have been established
to be an advantage. However, a joint powers agreement can be structured in a
manner which provides equal flexibility if desired.
Disadvantages of Utilizing Cooperative Procurement
1) One locality is burdened with all the requirements for initiating a proposal and
complying with the Public Procurement Act. If the procuring local government
has adopted alternative procurement provisions, these must be complied with.
Placing the main burden on one local government can be negated in large part,
however, by the "sponsoring government" contracting with others to perform
these tasks and by sharing the costs among all who participate.
2) The cooperative procurement statute does not authorize the establishment of a
joint board or governing mechanism as is established under a joint powers
agreement. Presumably such organizational structure could be provided
informally similar to the manner in which the Steering Committee currently
operates.
3) A cooperative procurement is organized for a single transaction whereas a joint
powers agreement can be utilized for multiple uses and multiple transactions.
1!51-3
4) Each project or solicitation that is undertaken could be more tedious and time
consuming to organize and "sell" to each local government because each
solicitation would be a "new" undertaking.
5) A cooperative procurement does not offer the continuity that a joint powers
agreement can offer.
6) A cooperative procurement may have less bargaining strength because it may be
perceived as lacking authority to negotiate for the entire load requirements of all
participants and be considered a "one time customer" which may not be together
after the end of the contract period.
7) Only public bodies can directly participate in a cooperative procurement.
Advantages of Utilizing Joint Powers Agreement
1) Flexibility. Utilization of a joint powers agreement for the purchase of electric
energy and energy related services offers substantial flexibility in the manner in
which it can be structured.
2) Members can be expanded or contracted readily as desired.
3) The agreement can be used for multiple uses and multiple transactions.
For example, a joint powers agreement may be broadened to provide for
cooperative technical advice; educational opportunities; monitoring of legislative
and regulatory proceedings; monitoring the implementation of joint enterprises,
and so on.
4) A joint powers agreement can offer continuity and an ongoing recognition as a
"single entity."
5) No license from the SCC would be required if the local governments were
purchasing power only for their own governmental use. The Restructuring Act
presumably provides for licensure if the municipality is an "aggregator" for its
residential, commercial or industrial customers. Va. Code § 56-589 (2000 Supp.)
6) Requirements of governing body authorization results in recognizable standing
and support of the member political subdivision.
Disadvantages of Utilizing a Joint Powers Agreement
1) The Commonwealth cannot be a party to a joint powers agreement. However,
local governments acting through a joint powers agreement could probably avail
themselves of a cooperative procurement initiated by the Commonwealth.
63
[Amendment to the Restructuring Act would be necessary for this to be
authorized for the purchase of electric power.]
Advantages of Utilizing Electric Procurement Association
1) Same advantages listed for a Joint Powers Agreement.
2) Use of competitive principles in procuring power rather than the need to follow
the requirements of competitive sealed bidding or competitive negotiations.
Disadvantages of Utilizing Electric Procurement Association
1) Same as disadvantages listed for a Joint Powers Agreement.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY,
VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: January 9, 2001
AGENDA ITEM: Acceptance of two Grants Awarded by the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation and Appropriation of Grant Funds to the Public Library
Budget
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation provides grant money to libraries to purchase computers,
software, and training. To receive the grant funds, the Foundation established criteria that the
money must be used in communities that meet certain income limitations.
Roanoke County Public Library has been awarded two grants by the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation. One grant, in the amount of $8,058 is intended to purchase computers and software for
the Mount Pleasant Branch Library in support of the expansion of public access to computers and
the Internet.
A second grant of $43,118 has been awarded to establish a regional training lab at the Vinton Branch
Library. Grant funds will be used to purchase eleven computers, a server, a laser printer, and a
projector. Training lab goals include: establishing an instructional venue for the Gates Foundation
to train public librarians throughout the region during the six month implementation phase of the
foundations' program in Virginia; securing a standardized training facility for the Library of
Virginia in this area of the state; and, providing a well equipped training room that our library can
use for instructional programs for our citizens and for expanded public access to the Internet.
While grants for the individual building installations, such as the one received for Mount Pleasant,
were based on a set of fairly standardized demographic criteria, the grants for the training labs were
highly competitive. Only seventeen lab grants were awarded throughout the state, and we are very
fortunate to have been selected as a recipient. In addition to the funding received via the Gates
grants, the library will soon be awarded additional grants through the Library of Virginia's
Infopowering partnership, a complementary program to the Gates effort. These additional grants
will be for the purchase of public access equipment at the Glenvar, Vinton, and Bent Mountain
branches, and provide funding for facility improvements and furnishings in support of the lab at
Vinton.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Acceptance and appropriation of the donated funds will require no additional funding by the County.
Additional funding from the Infopowering program and grants from the Friends of the Library and
the Junior Woman's Club of Vinton will cover the costs for furnishings, electrical work, and other
improvements required for the new lab site at Vinton.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the acceptance of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation grants, and
appropriation of both the $8,058 and the $43,118 funding awards to the Library's budget.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: January 09, 2001
AGENDA ITEM: Appointments of Board Members to Committees, Commissions
and Boards for 2001
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Attached is a list of the 2000 Committee Assignments with the following exceptions:
The appointments specific to the chairman and vice chairman are now listed under
Chairman Minnix and Vice Chairman Church's name.
At this time, the Board of Supervisors may make any modifications they wish. Many
of the appointments are for specific terms and those appointments should be made at the
expiration of the terms, although the Board may also make changes to these appointments
if they desire.
Several new school construction related committees were added during 1998 and
1999. Supervisor Joseph McNamara was appointed to the School Construction
Committee. Supervisors Bob Johnson and Harry Nickens were appointed to the Joint
School Construction Advisory Committee, and Supervisor McNamara serves as
alternate. If these committees are no longer active, the Board may wish to remove them
from the Committee List.
Listed below is information about several of the Committees:
Roanoke Valley -Alleghany Regional Commission Metropolitan Planning Organization
In January 2000, the Board appointed Supervisor Church to complete former
Supervisor Fenton Harrison's term which expires July 1, 2002. On February 8, 2000, with
Supervisor Church's concurrence, Mr. Harrison was reappointed to complete his original
term. That action is attached. The Board may wish to appoint a Board member to complete
this term or wait until the appointment becomes vacant on July 1, 2002.
C "S
Liaisons to the Virginia Association of Counties
In 1994, VACo requested that a member of the governing body be appointed to interact
directly with VACo regarding legislative matters. At a 1994 meeting, The Board
recommended that the Vice Chairman of the Board of Supervisors serve in this capacity.
However, any Board member may be appointed.
In 1992, VACo requested that a member of the governing body be appointed to work
directly with the regional representative on the VACo Board of Directors. The Chairman
has served in this capacity for several years, but any Board member may be appointed.
Roanoke Valley Economic Development Partnership
The Chairman of the Board of Supervisors serves on this organization. Therefore
Chairman Minnix should be appointed to this position.
Roanoke County Cable Television Committee
This is similar to the Roanoke Valley Cable Television Committee and the same members
serve with the addition of the Supervisor who represents the Catawba Magisterial District,
the primary area served by Adelphia Cable TV.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board approve the Board of Supervisors appointments
for calendar year 2001.

ACTION NUMBER A-012301-1
ITEM NUMBER
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: January 23, 2001
AGENDA ITEM: Request for $40,000 for Phase II Clean Water Act NPDES
Requirements Needs Assessment
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
BACKGROUND:
Effective March 10, 2003 (fiscal year 2002-03), localities having a population of
fewer than 100,000 will be required to comply with the Phase II provisions of the
Clean Water Act and obtain a NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System) permit for stormwater quality. The localities in the Roanoke Valley,
including Roanoke County, Roanoke City, the City of Salem, and the Town of Vinton
will be required to obtain an NPDES permit and initiate compliance. Staff conducted
a work session with the Board of Supervisors on January 9, 2001 for the purpose
of briefing the Board on upcoming regulations.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The Environmental Protection Agency is currently regulating stormwater quality in
localities having a population of 100,000 or greater under Phase I of the Clean
Water Act. The EPA has now moved into Phase ll, which will require Roanoke
County to move toward eliminating pollutants in stormwater discharges. The six
basic requirements for compliance are: (1) public education and outreach; (2) public
involvement and participation; (3) detection and elimination of illicit discharges; (4)
stormwater runoff controls for construction sites; (5) stormwater management for
post construction activities; and (6) pollution prevention/good housekeeping
activities. The Roanoke Valley Alleghany Regional Commission has offered to
serve as the coordinating agency to pursue compliance of Phase 11 on behalf of the
local governments. By pursuing compliance on a regional approach, it is hoped to
save money by not duplicating efforts. We have selected AMEC Earth and
Environment, Inc. to prepare a "Needs Assessment" that will identify for each locality
1
what it has to do to comply with the regulations, what costs will be involved, and
what potential revenue sources are available to enable each locality to comply. It
will also identify areas that can be addressed on a regional basis, allowing the
localities to share costs and resources for requirements that can be shared. As
stated in the work session, EPA's estimate of compliance with Phase Il for water
quality is between $1.70 and $7.60 per capita, which relates to between $144,500
and $646,000 for Roanoke County. This is an unfunded federal mandate.
ALTERNATIVES AND IMPACTS:
Alternative 1. Appropriate $40,000 for Roanoke County's share of the needs
assessment study. This will enable us to identify the specific cost requirements,
resources, potential revenue sources, and specific actions needed for compliance
with the Phase II requirements.
Alternative 2. Do not appropriate funds for this study at the present time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends appropriating $40,000 from the general fund unappropriated
balance for the purpose of participating in a needs assessment with the other
localities through the Roanoke Valley Allegh�ry Regional Commission.
