COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: August 8, 2006
AGENDA ITEM: Request from the Fire and Rescue Department to accept and
appropriate a grant in the amount of $232,000 from the

SUBMITTED BY: Richard E. Burch, Jr.

APPROVED BY: Elmer C. Hodge, Jr.
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
We are pleased to accept the generous donation made by the estate of Marie Hott. It was
her desire to donate to an organization that would assist the Fort Lewis Community, and
she felt that contributing to the Fire and Rescue Department would be an excellent way to
achieve this goal. We are also pleased to recognize a grant from the State of Virginia
totaling $116,000 to be used toward the purchase of the vehicle for the Fort Lewis Station.
I recommend approval of the appropriation request.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Roanoke County Fire and Rescue requests that the Board of Supervisors accept and
appropriate the following grant and estate settlement for the purchase of a replacement
vehicle for the Fort Lewis Station:
The Virginia Office of Emergency Medical Services awarded the Fire and Rescue
Department Grant #WVC03/06-06 totaling $232,000 which requires a 50% match.
The new squad is to replace an existing vehicle serving Roanoke County at the Fort Lewis
station. Fort Lewis Volunteer Fire Department, Roanoke County, and Roanoke County
Fire and Rescue will share in the funding of the required match.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estate of Marie Hott bequeathed funds in the amount of $52,542.36 to Roanoke
County Fire and Rescue to benefit the Fort Lewis area. Roanoke County Fire and Rescue
will use this amount as a portion of the match for the above grant. The Fort Lewis
Volunteer Fire Department will supply partial funding totaling $49,337.46 also from the
estate settlement of Marie Hott. The remaining $14,120.18 required match will come from
both the Fort Lewis Volunteer Fire Department through the sale of Squad 9 and the Fire
and Rescue Department operating budget. Additional funds received from this sale are to
be appropriated to this account and will be matched by the Fire and Rescue Department
operating budget for the vehicle purchase.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Department will not be able to purchase the new squad without the funds from the
State (Grant # WVC03/06-06) and the funds from the estate settlement of Marie Hott.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the acceptance of the grant from the Virginia Office of Emergency
Medical Services in the amount of $232,000 and appropriation of the funds to account
number 486634 in the grant fund as follows:
StateGrant.........................................................................$116,000.00
