RESOLUTION 030805-3 ADOPTING A REVISED SCHEDULE OF
AMBULANCE TRANSPORT FEES AND PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors enacted a Fee for Services ordinance as
an addition to the Roanoke County Code on May 22, 2001, which established the legal
structure for providing emergency medical transport services and accompanying fees as
provided for by the Code of Virginia; and
WHEREAS, Section 2-131 of this ordinance, contained in Chapter 2
Administration of the Roanoke County Code, provides that the Board of Supervisors, by
resolution, may establish reasonable fees for the provision of emergency medical
services by all emergency medical service personnel, whether provided by volunteers or
public employees, upon the recommendation of the County Administrator and the Chief
of Fire and Rescue; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution on August 14, 2001,
which resolution was revised on March 26, 2002 by Resolution 032602-2, and on March
25, 2003 by Resolution 032503-8, upon the joint recommendation of the County
Administrator and the Chief of Fire and Rescue for the establishment of reasonable fees
for the provision of various levels of emergency medical services, including mileage
fees for vehicles; and
WHEREAS, the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services has issued
regulations, effective April 1, 2002, which establish a fee schedule for the payment of

ITEM NO. E-3
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: March 8, 2005
AGENDA ITEM: Request approval of funding in the amount of $155,000 to
purchase and implement an Emergency Medical Services
(EMS) Data Reporting System
SUBMITTED BY: Richard E. Burch, Jr.
Chief of Fire and Rescue
APPROVED BY: Elmer C. Hodge, Jr.
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Currently, information regarding EMS calls is completed by a written method and couriered
to the fire administration office on a daily basis. Data entry is completed twice for each
form and then forwarded to the Virginia Office of EMS to meet reporting requirements
mandated by the State of Virginia. The same form is photocopied and the original form is
couriered to the third party billing agency to generate the appropriate insurance claims for
ambulance transport fees. Once this process is complete, the original form has to be
returned to its originating agency resulting in down time and costs associated with hand -
carrying these forms to many different locations.
Creating further complications, effective July 2004, the Federal government's Medicare
program instituted stringent requirements for submission of Medicare reimbursement
claims. Roanoke County has the potential to loose approximately $300,000 per year if we
are unable to electronically submit medical reports to Medicare. By implementing this
system, data could be entered by the responders and transmitted electronically from the
originating agency to the fire administration office for Medicare compliance, HIPAA
compliance, and quality assurance issues.
This information can also be electronically transmitted to the third party billing agency
resulting in a more accurate billing to insurance companies for the citizens and the
electronic transfer of files to the Virginia State Office of EMS to meet their requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total amount of the system is projected to be $185,000. The Fire and Rescue
department will allocate $30,000 from their existing budget to apply to this purchase. An
additional $155,000 would need to be appropriated from the Minor Capital Fund to the Fire
and Rescue Department to purchase the hardware and software to implement an EMS
Data Reporting System.
ALTERNATIVES:
Without the approval of $155,000 in funding, the Fire and Rescue Department would be
unable to complete the purchase and implement the EMS Data Reporting System resulting
in non-compliance and loss of revenue.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends appropriating $155,000 from the Minor Capital Fund. This amount will
be combined with the department's existing budget allocation of $30,000 to purchase and
implement the EMS Data Reporting System which will result in efficiency, increased
collections, and compliance with Federal regulations.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Roanoke County Schools currently collaborates with Family Service of Roanoke Valley to
implement both school-based and after school service learning opportunities for our
students. The service work of our students has made a positive impact in our community.
Roanoke County Schools, working together with Family Service, is piloting the concept of
helping the elderly live more safely. State Farm and Youth Service America support our
efforts by providing a $5,000 grant to fund this pilot project.
The program will not only benefit the elderly, it will also benefit academically at -risk
students. The project targets middle school students, the majority of whom are
economically disadvantaged and/or disabled high risk youth. By building on student's
strengths, our school system can reduce the likelihood of negative developmental
outcomes.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The amount of the grant award is $5,000. There is no in-kind match required and no
additional money is required to be expended.
ALTERNATIVES:
None

grant to print charts and stickers utilizing a critical incident color code system. Pepsi
approved $1,105 to fund the purchase of charts and critical incident color code stickers.
The Transportation Department has used bus cameras for approximately ten years. The
cameras have proven to reduce student misconduct on the buses. The Roanoke County
Public Schools utilizes a critical incident color code system when an event occurs that
requires individuals in a school to seek safety. The color code is reproduced on charts
and a sticker that is placed on staff identification badges. This enables school employees
with easy accessibility to code directions in case a violent or safety incident occurs during
school hours.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Pepsi has approved $11,550 for bus cameras and $1,105 to fund the purchase of critical
incident color code stickers and charts.
ALTERNATIVES:
None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval and appropriation of grant funds from Pepsi in the amount of
$12,655.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: March 8, 2005
AGENDA ITEM: Request to accept and appropriate grant funds in the amount
of $190,865 from the Department of Criminal Justice Services
for a juvenile justice and delinquency prevention program
SUBMITTED BY: Daniel R. O'Donnell
Assistant County Administrator
APPROVED BY: Elmer C. Hodge
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The County has received notification of a grant award from the Department of Criminal
Justice services (DCJS) in the amount of $190,865 to establish a Functional Family
Therapy program for Roanoke County families in need. The grant is the first year of a five-
year program that will provide intensive family counseling for families with juveniles who
may otherwise be facing expensive out of home placements.
The grant is renewable for up to five years. There is no local match for the first three
years. The fourth year has a 25% local match and the fifth year has a 50% local match
should the County wish to continue the program for those years. If the program proves not
to be successful, it can be cancelled after the third year. Blue Ridge Behavioral
Healthcare will be providing the counseling services and the County will serve as fiscal
agent. The intent of this program is to provide more intensive in-home therapy services for
juveniles who otherwise would be faced with out -of home placements at a far greater cost.
This program will be coordinated with the Community Policy Management Team (CPMT)
process.
FISCAL IMPACT:
As there is no direct match for the first three years of the program and the intent of the
program is to decrease the costs of out of home placements, there will be positive fiscal
impact for the County.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors accept the grant award from DCJS and
appropriate the funds.
