ITEM NO. E-1
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: July 13, 2004
AGENDA ITEM: Request to approve an amendment to the Roanoke Valley
Library Consortium automation contract
SUBMITTED BY: Diana L. Rosapepe
Director of Library Services
APPROVED BY: Elmer C. Hodge
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
Recommend approval
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
In 1990, Roanoke County entered into a contract with the cities of Roanoke and Salem to
purchase a library automation system and to share the ongoing operating costs. The
contract was amended in 1998 to allow Botetourt County Library to join the consortium.
Cost-sharing for each system was determined by four weighted factors: (1) Annual
circulation - 50%; (2) number of library branches - 30%; (3) number of dumb terminals -
10%; and (4) number of item records in the database - 10%. Because the Roanoke
County Public Library system (RCPL) includes six sites and has the highest circulation, it
typically pays 46-50% of consortia operating expenses. In the past fiscal year, Roanoke
County's share of the cost for software and hardware maintenance, support personnel, and
equipment was approximately $65,425.
After fifteen years of experience with the system, the consortium reviewed the contract and
determined that most of the cost-sharing factors were either no longer relevant or were
weighted disproportionately. It now proposes to apportion costs according to elements
that are known to actually impact system resources or that reasonably could be expected
to do so, including: (1) annual circulation - 30%; (2) number of item records in the
database - 30%; (3) population - 20%; (4) number of full-time equivalent staff -10%; and
(5) number of branches -10%. Using this formula in which the weight applied for annual
circulation has been reduced, RCPL's share could be expected to decline by 2-3% per
annum. For example, based on the current year's expenses, that would represent a
savings for Roanoke County of $1,300. The new formula also may slow the acceleration in
future costs related to RCPL's continuing increases in circulation.
The proposed amendment also includes a stipulation changing the role of a subcommittee,
the Library Advisory Committee, to a true advisory capacity. This amendment has been
approved by the city councils of Roanoke and Salem and the Board of Supervisors of
Botetourt County.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No additional funds will be required.
ALTERNATIVES:
Authorize the County Administrator to execute the amendment to the RVL contract,
which is approved as to form.
2. Do not approve the amendment and continue under the current terms of the contract.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative #1, approval of the amendment to the contract.
VOTE:
Supervisor McNamara motion to approve staff recommendation

MEETING DATE: July 13, 2004
AGENDA ITEM: Request to approve a supplemental appropriation in the
amount of $243,166 to the fiscal year 2003-04 school budget
to reflect the receipt of the state compensation supplement
SUBMITTED BY: Diane D. Hyatt
Chief Financial Officer
APPROVED BY: Elmer C. Hodge
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The approved 2003-04 state budget for education included contingent funding for a 2.25%
salary increase effective January 1, 2004. This funding was predicated on the state
revenue collections reaching predetermined thresholds during FY03-04. Since this
funding source was not guaranteed, it was not included in the budget adopted for 2003-04.
However, it was explained in the budget summary prepared for the School Board last year
as follows:
The General Assembly budget also included contingent funding fora 2.25% teachersalary
increase effective January 1, 2004 (1.125% annualized). This funding is contingent upon
the state revenue reforecast in August 2004. Due to the unreliable revenue stream,
Roanoke County Schools has elected not to include the contingent revenues in the
adopted FY03-04 budget. Separate board action will be taken at a later date if the
revenues materialize. The contingent revenues of approximately $243,000 will be shared
50/50 with the county as part of the revenue sharing agreement for FY03-04.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The state has confirmed that Roanoke County Schools received $243,166 in excess of
budget for the compensation supplement during FY03-04. The School Board will
appropriate this funding along with a transfer to the County for the 50% share that was
agreed upon during the FY03-04 budget negotiations.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends appropriating $243,166 in additional state school revenues for
FY03-04 and allocating $121,583 of these funds to the County government.
