ITEM NUMBER 1:37— AT — AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: May 22, 2001 AGENDA ITEM: Appropriation of state funds for Social Work Supervisor Position in the Department of Social Services and increase to the County's Classification Plan COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: /,fllrx� BACKGROUND: The Virginia Department of Social Services has set a recommendation of a 1:6 supervisor to staff ratio for the Social Work classification. The current ratio in the department is 1:9. In April 2001, two Title IV -E social worker grant positions were placed under the supervision of Social Services; in July 2001, the Comprehensive Services Office will be placed under the supervision of Social Services. The programs are directly related to current service provision by the Department. However, the supervisor to staff ratio will then increase to 1:10+. This increased ratio does not include an average of 4-6 Social Worker interns supervised by these same Social Work Supervisors each semester. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: Service delivery and full time staff in the Social Services Department has increased in the last 5 years due to maximizing available Federal and State funding and seeking program grants. We have developed partnerships with 4 local colleges/universities to take interns to assist with the work demands. However, the supervision of this staff has not increased. This request is a follow-up to the 5/08/01 Board request to employ a full time Social Work Supervisor effective 7/01/01 and to increase the County Classification Plan by one full time position. The State Department of Social Services was contacted on 5/9/01 and we received notification on 5/11/01 the State would approve this new position request. The State will provide 80% funding required for this position. The remaining 20% will come from Title IV -E reimbursement, City of Salem share of administrative costs and the current Social Service budget. FISCAL IMPACT: Total cost, salary and benefits, to employ a Social Worker Supervisor is $56,000. The State Department of Social Services has approved this new position and will reimburse 80% of this total cost; the remaining 20% will be funded from Title IV -E reimbursement, City of Salem share of administrative cost and the current Social Service budget. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends appropriation of $44,800 revenue from the State (80% of total cost) to the Social Services 2001-2002 budget, and to increase the Classification Plan by one position to allow the employment of a Social Work Supervisor.

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 22, 2001 AGENDA ITEM: Request to Expand the Training Opportunities for the Police Department COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: BACKGROUND: The County Police Department and County Sheriff's Office have contracted with the Cardinal Criminal Justice Academy (Cardinal Academy) since 1988 to provide most of the basic training and in-service training for the officers and personnel of these Departments. Other member agencies of the Cardinal Academy are from agencies in localities of the Roanoke and New River Valley areas. Based on revisions to their charter in 1997 to add other members, Cardinal Academy has a separate contract with our Police Department and our Sheriff's Office. One of the requirements for the accreditation of our Police Department is that the person employed by the Police Department must be certified before they are allowed to work independently in the field. For local Sheriff's offices of this region, the Cardinal Academy has provided the required training in a satisfactory and timely basis. The City of Roanoke has it's own Police Academy (not a regional academy) and the Martinsville area operates the Piedmont Regional Criminal Justice Training Academy as a separate regional academy. In addition to the Cardinal Academy, the Roanoke County Police Department has trained officers at both of these facilities as well so that we could place the officers in service on a timely basis. In the 2000 session of the General Assembly, VA. Code 15.2-1747 was amended concerning membership in said regional academies to require a two-thirds vote of the member agencies of a regional academy to add or withdraw membership and to limit the times for consideration of withdrawal from the membership to be once every five years. Pursuant to the new code section, "The board of directors shall consider requests to withdraw in October 2001, and in October of every fifth year thereafter. No requests to withdraw shall be considered at any other time, unless agreed to unanimously. Any withdrawal approved by the board of directors shall be effective on June 30 of the following year." MW Section 3 of the contract with the Cardinal Criminal Justice Academy stipulates "The Academy and this charter (contract) shall exist in perpetuity, subject however, to dissolution under one of the following conditions:... B. On June 30 of any year, in the event the governing body of any participant desiring to withdraw shall have notified the Academy's Governing Council of its intent to withdraw, on or before the preceding October 1. The notice provided for herein shall be in writing." Section 6 B of the Cardinal Academy agreement further provides for the operating budget of the Academy stating "each participant agrees that for any year in which a participant receives services of the Academy, it shall appropriate to the Academy 100% of the net total costs minus federal or state grants which shall be determined by the percentage of law officers that the jurisdiction is authorized." The local cost for participation in the Cardinal Academy is $170 per person for 141 people. At this time, the Police Department needs to expand its base of opportunity by formalizing relationships with other training facilities without being bound to a five year commitment such as would be required with the Cardinal Academy. This will allow for more timely instruction, more specialized services, the opportunity to interact with other large agencies and will foster an enhanced regional effort. The Roanoke County Sheriff's Office would continue to be a part of the Cardinal Criminal Justice Academy for it's primary training needs. Written notice needs to be forwarded to the Cardinal Criminal Justice Academy advising of our intent to terminate our formal participation in the contract. For the upcoming fiscal year, we would continue to pay our share of the cost as provided in the contract. Thereafter, we would pay to the facility providing the training for the services rendered. It is suggested that the County Administrator be authorized to communicate this intent to the Academy and that staff be allowed to negotiate with Cardinal Academy, Roanoke Police Academy, and the Piedmont Academy to provide for our training needs. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Terminate the formal relationship between the Roanoke County Police Department and the Cardinal Criminal Justice Academy and allow the County Administrator and staff to secure the training using the other facilities as necessary. 2. Continue to participate in the Cardinal Criminal Justice Academy for the next five years monitoring the training efforts afforded to our department. 04, FISCAL IMPACT: None. The contribution for the FY 2001-02 would continue to the Cardinal Criminal Justice Academy as in the past. In the future, training by our staff (in kind match) or the purchase of training slots in other facilities would come from monies within the Police Department. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends alternative 1 authorizing the County Administrator to communicate our desire to terminate the formal relationship between the County Police Department and the Cardinal Criminal Justice Academy and authorizing staff to negotiate training opportunities with appropriate facilities to meet the training needs of the department. The relationship between the Roanoke County Sheriff's Office and the Cardinal Criminal Justice Academy would not change. Respectfully submitted, mes R.

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 22, 2001 AGENDA ITEM: Request from a County citizen to establish a separate personal property tax classification for motor homes used for recreational purposes. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: BACKGROUND: In July 2000, the Governor signed legislation that would allow local governing bodies to tax motor homes used for recreational purposes at rates below the personal property tax rate. Mr. Bradley Foro, a Roanoke County resident, has written several letters and appeared before the Board of Supervisors requesting that Roanoke County take action on the state enabling legislation to reduce the tax rates on motor homes. In October 2000, County Attorney Paul Mahoney responded to Mr. Foro's request. Mr. Foro has again appeared before the Board and sent another letter requesting action by the Board. Attached are copies of Mr. Foro's letters and Mr. Mahoney's response to Supervisor McNamara. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: The Commissioner of the Revenue's office has estimated that there are 311 motor homes in Roanoke County with total assessed value of $3,483,939. If the Board adopted this legislation, revenues would be reduced from $131,930 to $39,360, a revenue loss of $82,570. Motor homes do not qualify for the Governor's personal property tax reimbursement for vehicles. Additionally, this legislation is limited to motor homes only and does not include other camping trailers. Currently, both are used for recreational purposes and are taxed at the same rate which is a more equitable manner of taxing recreational vehicles. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: If the Board wishes to consider this legislation further, staff recommends scheduling a work session on July 10, 2001.

OBENSHAIN SENIOR ASSISTANT COUNTYATTORNEY VICKIE L. HUFFMAN ASSISTANT COUNTY ATTORNEY (540) 772-2071 Bradley R. Foro sent you a letter dated September 26, 2000, requesting that Roanoke County take action pursuant to Senate Bill 115 (which was adopted by the 2000 Session of the Virginia General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Gilmore). This legislation created a separate classification for personal property taxation for motor homes used for recreational purposes. Mr. Foro appears to be demanding that Roanoke County exercise its local option and grant this local tax break to him and other similarly situated individuals. Senate Bill I15 created a separate classification of personal property for motor homes used for recreational purposes only. This legislation allows local governing bodies to tax motor homes at rates below the rate applicable to the locality's general class of tangible personal property and at rates different from camping trailers. Under the previous law motor homes were classified and taxed at the same rate as camping trailers for personal property tax purposes. I have asked Mr. Compton to provide me with a fiscal impact on Roanoke County if it adopted this optional legislation. Mr. Compton advises me that there are 311 motor homes in Roanoke County that could be affected. by such action. The total assessed value of motor homes in Roanoke County is $3,483,939; and if the Board adopted this tax break local personal property tax revenues would drop from $121,93.0 to $39,360. In addition, I have requested Ms. Hyatt's comments on this proposal. It is her recommendation that the Board not adopt an ordinance that would substantially decrease County revenues. She also reminds me that such a change would require reprogramming by IT to create this new tax category; therefore, there could be some administrative costs to implementing such a change. In consideration, of the substantial fiscal impact and loss of local tax revenue as a result of implementing this proposal it is my understanding that the Board would not be interested in adopting a local ordinance as Mr. Foro requests. The County Attorney's office will prepare an appropriate ordinance to implement this change if so directed by a member of the Board of Supervisors. PMM/spb cc: Board Reading File Elmer C.

Hodge Roanoke County Administrator 5204 Bernard Drive Roanoke, VA 24018-0798 Dear Mr. Hodge: This letter is a followup to my appearance at the last Board of Supervisors Meeting. Again I ask your assistance in reducing the excessive property tax on motor homes in Roanoke County, As I pointed out in my letter to the Board of Supervisors in March 2001 the taxes I pay on my motor home is 4 times what I would pay for taxes on a comparable home of the same value. I am sending a copy of the letter I presented to the Board on 13 March for your information. In addition, I am sending a copy of my current personal property tax bills for your information as well as a small portion of the information I have written down from talking to other campers from out of state and also within several counties in Virginia. I hope this will give you enough information to recommend reducing the property tax on motor homes to the real estate rate of 1.12 per $100 of assessed valuation in Roanoke County, If I can be of further assistance in your evaluation and recommendation to the Board of Supervisors please don't hesitate to call me at 949-4982. Sincerely, Bradley Faro Dear Mr. Hodge The following is typical of how other states handle taxes on motorhomes. It's no wonder so many people try to dodge the heavy taxes by buying them out of state or through dummy corporations. I believe Virginia should take a good look at this and come up with a lower tax on these vehicles. State Personal Property Tax Yes No Remarks Florida X License fee only - $40.00 annually Ohio X License fee only - $52.80 per year Kansas X $250 per year, includes tag and tax Wisconsin X License fee only Pennsylvania X License fee only Tennessee X License fee only Oklahoma X License fee only Vermont X License fee only - $30.00 Missouri X License fee only Virginia X Varies in each county - $3.50 per $100 of assessed value in Roanoke County Minnesota X License only - $200 declining New Jersey X License fee only - $65.00 This is a random sampling from campers with out of state tags on their vehicles. Dear Mr. Hodge; The following is a listing of Virginia Counties and their rates of assessment on personal property including motorhomes. COUPU Taxes before SB 115 After SB 115 Rockingham 2.80 per $100 1.40 per $100 Campbell 3.25 per $100 Reevaluating Pulaski 1.50 per $100 Raised to 2.00 Grayson 1.00 per $100 Raised to 1.25 Patrick 1.26 per $100 Raised to 1.36 Wythe 1.00 per $100 Raised to 2.27 Roanoke 3.50 per $100 Reevaluating This is only a small sampling of surrounding counties. I have heard that there are other counties that are in the process of reevaluating the motor home tax but I have not been able to verify that at the present time. I must note that the counties that raised the taxes have received notification by the state that the state will not cut the car tax for the amount of the locality's increase. As you can see though the increases by these particular counties is still far less than Roanoke County. Roanoke County is far out of step from our surrounding neighbors. March 2001 To: Roanoke County Board of Supervisors From: Bradley R. Foro, 8235 Poor Mountain Road, Bent Mountain, VA 24059 Subj: Personal Property Tax Rate on Motor Homes Problem: Personal Property Tax on motor homes and recreational vehicles in Roanoke County is excessive (3.5%) Discussion: • Virginia legislature enacted SB 115 creating 29 separate items of property that were each to be declared a separate class of property and constitute a classification for local taxation separate from other classifications of tangible personal property. It was signed 4 April 2000 by the Governor to be effective I July 2000. I have talked to Mr. Paul Mahoney, Mr. Wayne Compton, and written letters to Mr. Joseph McNamara regarding implementation of SB 115 and have been informed that Roanoke County is under no obligation to adopt this bill. Instead of acting on this bill, each indicated, "You are invited to present your case to the County Board of Supervisors Budget Meetings to be conducted in the spring of 2001 and try to convince them to change the local tax ordinance." I am here to present evidence of excessive taxation of a minority of county residents. • Mr. Wayne Compton states there are 311 recreational vehicles in Roanoke County generating $129,000 in personal property taxes. If all vehicles were equal, each would be paying $414.79 in personal property taxes. I paid $1,437.33, which is over 3 times (more than 1.12%) the taxes I should have paid in this category. That is excessive. • My assessment and taxes for 2000: Item Assessed Tax Home $164,900 $1,863.38 Motor home $ 44,500 $1,437.33 Automobile (SUV) $ 18,400 $ 381.50 Va. 3% title tax and $1,572.50 Dealer Bus. Lic. Tax $ 94.78 (Motor home Purchase) • The following facts can be figured from the items stated above: - My home is worth 2.55 times the value of my personal property. - My motor home and car is 39% of the value of my home but the taxes are essentially equal to taxes on my home. M Other facts to consider in the determination of excessive taxation of motor homes: - My home is used every day of the year except during vacations. - My motor home was used 21 days in the year 2000. - For income tax purposes a motor home is considered a 2nd home and the mortgage loan interest is tax deductible. Logically, a motor home should be taxed at the same 1.13% rate as my home, mobile homes, and double wides. - The assessed value of my home increased from $88,000 in 1990 to $169,800 in 2001. My real estate taxes have doubled as well. The only tax benefit I receive from this increase is garbage collection. - The county eliminated our Bent Mountain emergency services personnel. I have personally observed a 20 minute increase in the response time for emergency calls. Increasing taxes should bring increased services instead of reductions. - A slight decrease in revenues from motor homes (assessments of 1.13% versus 3.5%) can be more than compensated for from the tax base as a whole. Alternatives: 1. Do nothing. This maintains a 3.5% tax rate on motor homes and penalizes a minority of county residents with an excessive tax. It also does not address SB 115 that calls for declaring motor homes as a class of property for local taxation purposes separate from other classi- fications of tangible personal property. 2. Set the tax rate on motor homes at the real estate rate (1.13%). 3. Set the tax rate on motor homes at a rate somewhere between 3.5% and 1.13%. Recommendation: Adopt Alternative 2. This would create a tax rate that is fair for motor home owners. It would comply with the intent of SB 115 by creating a separate class of property. Motor homes are not the same as personal use vehicles. There is no accommodation for them at the workplace, shopping malls, and other places where automobiles are used. Considering the occasional use a motor home receives going to and from campgrounds versus the time it is typically parked or stored, the personal property taxes paid are disproportionate and unfair. Any tax that is found to be unfair, unjust, or excessive should be reevaluated. If it is found to be excessive (which I believe I have satisfactorily detailed), it should be reduced and made just. Lost revenue can be made up from the tax base as a whole. I ask that Roanoke County reevaluate the tax on motor homes and grant sufficient relief to make it a fair and just tax.
