A-41492-2 ITEM NUMBER -� AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: April 14, 1992 AGENDA ITEM: Selection of Health Insurance Coverage for County and School Employees COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: In order to represent many diverse views of County employees, a committee was formed to review health insurance proposals. These committee members were Diane Hyatt and Penny Hodge (Finance), Elaine Carver and Bonnie Preas (Procurement), Keith Cook (Human Resources), Dr. Jerry Hardy (Schools), Doris Boitnott (RCEA), and Todd Booth (Employee Advisory Committee). The committee also employed George Weikel as a consultant to help analyze and negotiate the bids received. A Request for Proposal was mailed on February 10, 1992, with a deadline for submittal of March 17, 1992, which allowed five weeks for a response. The RFP was also advertised in the newspaper. RFP's were mailed to twenty-nine providers. All questions from the providers were answered on a timely basis. The County received seven bids for health insurance coverage. These proposals are outlined in Attachment A. These bids were carefully reviewed and three companies were selected for interviews and final negotiations. At the close of these negotiations it was decided that the employees would receive the greatest value from the Blue Cross/Blue Shield minimum premium plan. The bid from Blue Cross/Blue Shield reflects a 13.37% increase over the 1990-1991 premiums. Earlier in the budget process, we had anticipated an increase of 30%-40%. Attachment B shows premiums for the County and the Schools in comparison with the current rates. We included several cost containment changes in the benefit structure which should save the County money in the future through better claims experience. These changes are outlined below: 1) Change outpatient surgery from 100% to 80% until the stop loss is reached. When this 100% benefit was put in place, we were trying to discourage inpatient surgery which, at the time was more expensive. Now outpatient surgery is as costly as inpatient care. In addition, the Pre - Admission Review policy will not allow patients to choose 3-3 inpatient surgery if it can be performed on an outpatient basis. 2) Implement a no transfer credit policy. Currently a new employee that had previous coverage under another Blue Cross/Blue Shield plan can join our plan without a waiting period for pre-existing conditions. If that same individual had previous coverage with another insurance company, or had no previous coverage, they would have a 12 month waiting period for pre-existing conditions. Since our plan is a self-insured plan, it makes no difference to us if the individual was formerly with another Blue Cross plan or another company. COBRA laws have also now made insurance coverage available to these individuals from their former employers during this waiting period. Roanoke City and Salem have also eliminated transfer credits from their health insurance plans. 3) Implement the Rx Alternative Drug Network - The Rx Alternative Drug Network is a group of pharmacies which have agreed to provide prescription drugs at a reduced cost in order to encourage volume. Under this plan, the individual must have their prescription filled by a participating pharmacy. Participating pharmacies include all of the chain pharmacies, and some mail order pharmacies. Employees will have the added benefit of ordering 90 day supplies of medication at a reduced rate through mail order. The cost of medication to employees will be: a) 34 day supply of medication $10.00 Deductible Standard $2.00 Deductible Generic b) Mail order 90 -day supply $16.00 Deductible Standard $4.00 Deductible Generic c) Maintenance Pharmacy 90 -day supply $19.00 Deductible Standard $5.00 Deductible Generic In addition, we have added two areas of increased benefit for the employees. 1) Eliminate the $100 pre -admission deductible for the Roanoke County School Employee Group - This is currently the only remaining benefit difference between the County and the School plan. 2) Mammogram screening - Mammograms will be covered 100% up 2 to $50 per screening, waiving any deductibles based upon the following schedule: Age Coverage Less than 35 None 35 through 39 One screening 40 through 49 One screening biennially 50 and over One screening annually FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are included in the County budget to pay for the entire increase in health care cost for the County employees. Funds are included in the County School budget to pay for the entire increase in health care cost. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The health insurance selection has been approved by the Health Insurance Selection Committee, the School Health Insurance Committee and the School Board. It is the unanimous choice to select the Blue Cross/Blue Shield minimum premium policy outlined above. Respectfully submitted, Approved by, Diane D. Hyatt Elmer C.

MEETING DATE: April 14, 1992 AGENDA ITEM: Acceptance of Approximately $52,000 in Grant Funding and Donations, and Appropriation to the School Grants Fund COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: �/ m BACKGROUND The Pi Kappa Phi National Fraternity and PUSH (People Understanding the Severely Handicapped) Pi Kappa Phi National Committee have selected Penn Forest Elementary School as the first Virginia site to develop an outdoor recreational area with facilities totally accessible to the handicapped and nonhandicapped. The Penn Forest community has endorsed the project, and a steering committee has been working closely with Jim Jones of Parks and Recreation and athletic leagues. The facility use and design is being interfaced to maximize the available area. Other organizations and foundations in the valley have shown interest and enthusiasm in the project. Anticipated revenues to be received from Pi Kappa Phi, businesses and parents are $52,000. The project will be constructed in October 1992 by 150 to 200 volunteers. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: The Roanoke County School Board welcomes the construction of this facility at the Penn Forest School site to enhance the school physical education program and the recreational opportunities for the Penn Forest community and Roanoke County citizens. Roanoke County Schools will serve as the sponsoring organization to receive revenues and make expenditures for the project in accordance with Roanoke County's procurement policy. Accordingly, an appropriation by the governing body must be made to the grant fund. FISCAL IMPACT: None. No county matching funds are required. Total funding will be provided by the groups mentioned above. Revenue would be recorded to reflect $52,000 in the School Grants Fund. Related expenditures would also be recorded. D.4 spa STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of $52,000 in grant funding and donations and appropriation of said amount to the Sch of Grants Fund. '� A�i�z Pat Sales, Principal Elmer C.

ITEM NUMBER :b — AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: April 14, 1992 AGENDA ITEM: Request for Funding to Cover Increased Sewer Fund Costs for 1991-1992 COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: BACKGROUND: While sewer revenues have remained the same, there are now more restrictive treatment requirements, increased costs at the treatment plant as well as increased costs to the County. This has created a $350,000 deficit in the Sewer Fund. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: At this time, staff is estimating that the sewer fund will generate a deficit of $350,000 in the 1991-1992 fiscal year. During the 1991-1992 budget process, it was anticipated that the County would initiate a sewer rate increase during the year to fund the sewage treatment plant expansion and to cover the existing sewer fund deficit. Because of delays in the sewage treatment plant expansion this rate increase has been postponed. However, the sewer fund deficit will need to be funded from another source. Sewer fund deficits in the last two years have depleted all of the capital money that was available for sewer repair and replacement projects. Therefore, there are no sources of funds within the sewer fund to cover this deficit. Net revenues of the water system are at the level that we had anticipated in the Water Revenue Bond Feasibility Study to cover future debt service on the Revenue Bonds, and these amounts are pledged in the Bond Indenture. Therefore, the water fund does not contain any funds that can be applied towards this deficit. The current budget was prepared several months before the Board chose to increase the consumer utility tax for the new water system. Because of this, we collected additional revenue during the year of approximately $750,000. This provides a one-time source of revenue that can be used to offset the sewer fund deficit. The Board may recall that we have already used $400,000 to cover the mid year adjustment. The balance of approximately $350,000 could be transferred to the General Fund to offset this 1 cc: deficit. These funds are a one-time source of revenue and in future years, this tax will be needed to pay debt service on the water bonds and fund capital expenditures. FISCAL IMPACT• The sewer deficit of $350,000 for the 1991-1992 fiscal year will need to be funded from the General Fund. The deficit for 1992- 1993 is included in the proposed budget. This deficit will continue until a sewer rate increase is adopted. This transfer will only cover the operating deficit of the Sewer Fund and does not provide any capital money for major repairs to the system. ALTERNATIVES• 1. Transfer $350,000 from the General Fund to the Sewer Fund. 2. The Board could chose to raise sewer rates, but it would be difficult to raise them high enough to cover the $350,000 deficit in the current year. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the transfer of $350,000 from the General Fund to the Sewer Fund. Staff further recommends that we postpone increasing the sewer rates until later in the year when we know more about the cost of expanding the treatment plant.

BACKGROUND• Roanoke County previously assisted the Explore project with the drilling of a well during the spring of 1991. This activity was requested by Explore and covered under a County contract for well drilling services. A second well was planned for the Hofauger House but delayed because an archaeological survey was required to be completed prior to drilling. By the time the archaeological clearance was given, the County's contract had expired. Funds are not available within the Utility Department budget for this purpose. County staff has examined other alternatives with Explore staff, including the feasibility of extending water lines from Vinton and/or a line from the other well. Neither is financially feasible at this time. The long range plan for utility services include an extension of water from the Town of Vinton (as Explore is in their service area) and sewer being extended by Roanoke County. Planning for these utility projects would occur after 1994. Construction would occur later as private sector funding increases for the realization of the Explore Master Plan. Costs estimates for engineering and construction have not been determined at this time. D-7 The staff recommends that up to $10,000 from the Economic Development Fund (26-102320) be expended to complete the second well and make the Hofauger House a functional unit within Blue Ridge Town. The River Foundation will purchase the well pump, perform water testing, and install lines to the house at their cost. FISCAL IMPACT• There is a $52,970 balance in the FY 91-92 Economic Development Fund. Several other projects have been appropriated or identified for funding from the $100,000. ALTERNATIVES• 1. Fund the cost of well drilling up to $10,000. 2. Fund a portion (50/50) of the well drilling cost. 3. Do not fund the well drilling cost. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors consider Alternative 1 and approve an appropriation up to $10,000 from the Economic Development Fund to The River Foundation for well drilling costs.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: On April 7, a meeting of the Roanoke Valley Regional Cable Television Committee was held. All three County representatives, Dr. Harry Nickens, Don Terp and Anne Marie Green were present, along with Dr. Jane James from the Roanoke County School System. The Committee received and discussed a report from the Equipment and Facilities Subcommittee. This Subcommittee had been charged with investigating possible locations for the govern- ment/education studio site as well as reviewing equipment needs and operating conditions. A copy of the Subcommittee's report is attached. The Committee voted unanimously to proceed as follows: o Take to each of the three participating governments a request to appropriate up to $10,00o from the Cable Television Capital Account. These funds are to be used to purchase two character generators, one to be located in the Roanoke County Public Information Office, and one to be located at Cox Cable's studio. ( It is necessary to have a machine at Cox Cable to receive the messages transmitted from the one located in Roanoke County.) The Roanoke County Procurement Department has been working with the Subcommittee to identify the best type of machine for this situation. If the expenditure of funds is approved, Procurement will begin the process used to purchase the equipment, and they will be installed as soon as possible. Character generators are used to type information which is then scrolled across a television screen at fixed intervals. Cox Cable will carry this information on Channel 17, which is already available for this purpose. The Subcommittee envisioned that this channel will be used for broadcasting information concerning meetings, events, and other topics of general interest. For example, routine listings would include Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission meetings, special informational meetings, such as those on the Zoning Ordinance, and events such as County Government Day, the Family Fun Festival and the Christmas Tree Lighting. Because only one channel is presently available, it was recommended that one character generator be purchased at this time. Eventually, each government and school system will have its own machine, and the receiving machine will be located at the Government Access studio. The County has agreed to receive and transmit the messages during the start-up phase, although this may be rotated if it becomes too onerous. o Take to each of the three participating governments an ordinance changing Exhibit A of the franchise agreement. This exhibit lists the injection points which will be installed by Cox Cable, and the Subcommittee agreed that four changes are necessary. That ordinance will be considered by the Board later on this Agenda. o Directed the attorneys for the three localities to meet and return in 30 days with a draft operating agreement for the proposed television studio. This agreement, while less complex, would be similar to the agreements operating the Regional Airport and landfill. The Committee will meet again on Thursday, May 7 at 3:30 p.m. to review the draft agreement. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no impact on the County's budget. Under the franchise agreement, Cox Cable agreed to provide the three governments with a capital grant of $480,000 to design and equip a government and education access studio. To date, Cox has paid $200,000 of this into an account which is being maintained by Roanoke County. The two character generators would be purchased from this account. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Authorize the appropriation of up to $10,000 from the Cox Cable Capital Fund for purchase of two character generators. 2. Do not authorize this appropriation. This alternative prevents Roanoke County from having access to Channel 17, which is already available for use by the local governments. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends alternative 1.

Background A. On September 25, 1991, at the first meeting of the expanded Regional Cable Television Committee, members were named to a variety of sub -committees including the Equipment and Facilities Subcommittee. This committee was charged with investigating possible locations for a government/education studio site (referred to in the franchise agreement as the institutional studio), as well as looking into -equipment needs and operating recommendations. B. Sub -Committee members are: Michelle Bono, chair, City of Roanoke; Anne Marie Green, Roanoke County; Mary Beth Layman, Vinton; Dr. Jane James, Roanoke County Schools; David Baker, Roanoke City Schools; Don Terp, County citizen; and Al Beckley, City citizen. C. Under the current franchise agreement, Cox Cable Roanoke will provide the three local governments with a capital grant of $480,000 to design and equip a govern- ment and education access studio. This is not to be used for the community studio, which Cox Cable must provide for public access. A check for the first $200,000 has been received and is being maintained in an interest bearing account by Roanoke County. An additional $100,000 is due May 31, 1992, an additional $100,000 is due May 31, 1993, and the final $80,000 is due May 31, 1994. D. In the original negotiations for a cable franchise agreement, it was anticipated that the three govern- ments would use the additional one percent of the franchise fee from Cox Cable Roanoke -to pay for salaries and operating expenses associated with running a government and education access studio. E. No operating expenses have been incurred to date. F. The Equipment and Facilities Subcommittee has been meeting since October 1991, on the following issues: D-9 2 1. Evaluating and recommending a system for character generation in order to be able to run government and school messages on the government access channel. Currently, Cox Cable has offered Channel 17 and Channel 2 as government access channels. Because Channel 2 currently carries C -Span, present plans are to only utilize Channel 17. 2. Evaluating and touring potential studio sites. 3. Talking with other Virginia governments operating access studios regarding policies, standard operating procedures and equipment. II. Current Situation A. At a Equipment and Facilities Subcommittee Meeting on March 13, 1992, the committee unanimously voted on the following recommendations to take back to the Roanoke Regional Cable Television Committee: 1. That bids be publicly advertised for two Texscan MSI Spectragen 3B High Performance Character Generators, plus necessary cable interconnect and a fax modem. One character generator would be maintained at the Roanoke County Administration Offices and the other at Cox Cable (head -in). Messages from the three governments and two schools would be sent to Roanoke County to be put into the system of running messages. Because only one channel is currently available on Cox Cable for government access, all messages would run on Cox Cable Channel 17. Estimated Cost: $7,000. The system could later be expanded and/or improved once the studio came on-line. 2. That four insertion points be changed in the franchise agreement to better meet the government and school needs. (See attached letter from Cox Cable.) 3. That because no operating expenses are expected to be incurred in the current fiscal year, that the additional one percent of the franchise fee not be set aside for operating expenses. Instead, the one percent franchise fee would be allocated for these purposes beginning in fiscal year 1992/1993. Cox Cable estimates the additional one percent to generate $180,000 in calendar year 1992, which equates approximately to $104,000 from the City of Roanoke,.$.62,0000..from. Roanoke County, and $14,000 from Vinton. 3 4. That beginning immediately, the Cable Television Committee would begin a search for a government/ education access studio manager to begin work July 1, 1992. A job description will need to be developed. 5. That upon hiring the government/education access studio manager, direct that individual to work with the cable television committee to develop a request for proposals to procure a contract for engineering services for studio site selection and design. 6. That the five top recommendations for potential studio sites are: (In no particular order) Roanoke County Occupational School Jefferson High School Patrick Henry High School William Fleming/Rufner Breckinridge Middle School B. Any funds spent by the Cable Television Committee must be approved by all three governments. A next logical step would be to set up a reporting structure for the studio manager (i.e., how paid, reports to whom), and an initial operating budget to be approved by the three governments. C. A subcommittee or individual would have to be named to lead the job search for the cable studio manager. III. Issues A. Need B. Cost ' C. Timing IV. Alternatives A. Approve the recommendations of the Equipment and Facilities Subcommittee. 1. Need for government/education access would be met. 2. Initial cost for equipment and studio would be paid by the initial $200,000 of the $480,000 capital grant from Cox Cable. Operating coata> 2 would be covered by allocation of the additional one percent of the franchise fee from area governments, as previously discussed during franchise negotiations. 3. Timing is such that local governments need to plan for allocating the one percent franchise fee to be included in the fiscal year 1992/1993 budgets. In addition, Cox Cable has requested a decision on insertion points by April 10, 1992. B. Do not approve the recommendations of the Equipment and Facilities Subcommittee. 1. Need for government/education access would go unmet. 2. Cost would not be an issue, however capital grant from Cox Cable would go unused, as it cannot be used for any other purpose. The additional one percent of the franchise fee would remain with local governments. 3. Timing would not be an issue. V. Recommendation Concur in Alternative A, thereby approving the recommenda- tions of the Equipment and Facilities Subcommittee. Respectfully Submitted, M.

March 17, 1992 Ms. Michelle Bono, Public Information Officer Chairman, CATV Equipment and Facilities Subcommittee 215 Church Avenue, S.W., Room 364 Roanoke, Virginia 24011 Re: Franchise Agreement Institutional Cable Distribution System Injection Points Substitutions Dear Ms. Bono: 1 ^ MAR RECEIVED 1 City Manager's Office In the meeting on March 13,1992, the Equipment and Facilities Subcommittee made a request to make changes/ substitutions in the Franchise Agreement with regard to injection points for the Institutional System. A list of the requested changes are attached. Please review this list for accuracy. We are very willing to accommodate the changes as requested; however, our concern is timing. The engineering and design of our system is presently underway to be upgraded to 450 MHz (62 channels capable). The fiber optics network for the Institutional System will be designed and constructed simultaneously with the system upgrade; therefore, exact locations are imperative. We will begin our construction May 4, 1992, with completion scheduled within thirty months. Our plans are to begin work in the Southwest portion of our system, from our headend to the system extremity. Ms. Michelle Bono Page Two In order to not delay the system upgrade and enable us to meet the franchise requirements, we would respectively request approval for the injection point substitutions by April 10, 1992. Although this will require adjustments in our system design and engineering, we feel we can accommodate the changes as requested. The franchise agreements with each of the governments specify the location of the injection points and accordingly appear to require amendment to satisfy your request. We would not want to make the design changes if there were any chance that the governments would not approve the amendments. Perhaps your attorney should speak to our attorney, Bob Glenn, regarding the actions to be taken. We look forward in continuing to work very closely with you in this very important project. If I may be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, *"_A� Bernard W. Langheim Vice President / General Manager BWL/ sp Enclosure cc: Mr. Robert E.
