MEETING DATE:
April 14, 1987
SUBJECT: Safety Belt Policy
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The use of lap and shoulder safety belts is an effective device
for saving lives and preventing injuries in vehicle accidents.
Each year, about 21,000 Americans are killed and 330,000 are
seriously injured while driving or riding in the front seats of
their cars. Many of these people could be saved if lap and
shoulder safety belts were used. The General Assembly of
Virginia enacted legislation during the 1987 session requiring
certain motor vehicle drivers and passengers to use lap and
shoulder safety belts. This legislation has been signed into law
by Governor Baliles, with an effective date of January 1, 1988.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Department of Human Resources has developed a Safety Belt
Policy which is included as Attached A for your consideration. A
draft of this Safety Belt Policy was forwarded to the Employee
Advisory Committee and Employee Safety Task Force Committees for
suggestions and recommendations. The Safety Belt Policy was
developed after taking into consideration suggestions offered.
The recommended penalty for noncompliance with this policy will
be considered a Group I Offense, as outlined in Section IVB1 of
the Employee Handbook, which is included a -s Attachment B.
The staff also recommends that upon adoption an educational
program be conducted for all employees, that enforcement of this
policy begin on July 1, 1987, and that this policy be
incorporated in the Vehicle Management Manual.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: April 14, 1987
SUBJECT: Request for Approval of Rabies Prevention Program
for Cats
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S
, COMMENTS:
��
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Roanoke County has a very effective dog ordinance but statistics
show that rabid cats are now a much more serious problem than in
years past. The national percentage of rabid dogs has decreased
in recent years, while instances of rabid cats has increased. In
1979, dog rabies cases outnumbered cat rabies by 40, yet two
years later, there were 69 more rabid cat cases that that of
rabid dogs.
The real threat is the exposure of unvaccinated domestic animals
such as dogs and cats to the rabid wildlife such as raccoons
and bats. Surrounding localities have already experienced an
upsurge in the number of rabid animals. Botetourt County had one
rabid animal in 1985 and one in 1986. Alleghany County had four
in 1986 and Shenandoah County had two in 1984, 14 in 1985, and 24
in 1986, a twelve -fold increase in just two years. In 1977,
Virginia had no cases of rabid raccoon, in 1982, there were 482
diagnosed cases. There is also rabies activity in western North
Carolina, West Virginia and Maryland.
There are now three animal control officers covering 246 square
miles in Roanoke County. A large amount of their time is spent
answering complaints of dogs running loose. Without additional
staff, vigorous enforcement of the proposed ordinance would be
difficult. In 1986, County Animal Control Officers picked up 696
dogs and 29 cats. If the proposed cat ordinance is passed, the
number of cats picked up will increase substantially. This may
require additional space at the SPCA, Their staff, however, does
not think this will present any problems as most of the cats will
not be adoptable and will not be kept long.
Attached is a draft ordinance concerning the vaccination of cats
which was reviewed by County Attorney Paul Mahoney. Presently
there are 30 jurisdictions within the state of Virginia with laws
requiring cat rabies vaccinations. They include Arlington
County, Fairfax County, Alexandria, Virginia Beach, Chesterfield
County, Richmond and Newport News. North Carolina -passed a state
law in January 1984 requiring vaccination of all cats against
rabies.
4E-3
Roanoke County holds periodic clinics for
rabies
vaccinations.
If the proposed cat
vaccination is approved,
part
of the rabies
prevention program
should include publicity
of the
new ordinance
to ensure that the
county residents are aware
of
the growth of
rabid cats, and will have knowledge of
where
and when the
vaccination clinics
will be held.
FISCAL IMPACT:
At least six additional cat traps at $27.00 per trap. This cost
may be partially offset by a small profit from the rabies
vaccination clinics, which show a modest profit after 86 shots.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the County approve a rabies prevention
program and proceed with the first and second reading of the
proposed Cat Vaccination Ordinance.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE:
April 14, 1987
SUBJECT: Industrial Access for Bolling Steel
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
In 1979, Roanoke County initiated an Industrial Access request on
behalf of Bolling Steel off of Route 11/460. Due to the exorbi-
tant cost of constructing the proposed road, the County was
forced to drop the original request.
During the last several months, staff has consulted with Virginia
Department of Transportation (VDOT) officials and one of the
adjoining property owners. Based on these meetings, we can antic-
ipate approval for Industrial Access Funds for a road within a
donated right of way.
Actual construction should begin between July 1 - October 1, 1987.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Roanoke County will request VDOT to reopen the 1979 request for
Bolling Steel. Since the right of way will be donated and the
construction cost, estimated to be $50,000 to 60,000, will be
funded by VDOT and the Industrial Access Fund, this project will
have no fiscal impact on Roanoke County.
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends that Roanoke County request VDOT to reopen
the 1979 request for Industrial Access Funds to Bolling Steel and
accept the right of way from the adjoining property owner.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
IN ROANOKE, VA., ON TUESDAY,
MEETING DATE: April 14, 1987
SUBJECT: Industrial Access Funds
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Roanoke County has $300,000 available from the Virginia Depart-
ment of Transportation for industrial access purposes, yet the
demand for industrial access funds has exceeded the supply.
Requests for these funds have included Bolling Steel, the Town of
Vinton (Industrial Park), and Roanoke County (Southwest Indus-
trial Park), among others.
Roanoke County has received an initial denial for industrial
access funds at the Southwest Industrial Park based on nonqualify-
ing industry. However, Roanoke County can post a bond with the
Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to guarantee qualify-
ing industries within twenty-four months. By Bonding qualifying
industries, Roanoke County can receive industrial access funds
now and construct the necessary roads so that we can market the
product in an effort to encourage qualifying industries to locate
in Southwest Industrial Park.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Roanoke County will request from VDOT $125,000 for industrial
access at Southwest Industrial Park. In order to obtain these
funds Roanoke County must post a bond for $125,000 over a
twenty-four month period. If a qualifying industry does not
relocate within twenty-four months, Roanoke County will have to
reimburse VDOT the total cost of the project, thereby forfeiting
the bond up to a maximum cost to the County of $125,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Roanoke County bond qualifying industries
for twenty-four months and pursue industrial access funds from
VDOT. -

��%,� � avU � L✓r , ,/jam`_ /i"Jz,
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Following a public hearing on April 7, 1987, the tax rates were
established for 1987/88. It is highly desirable to adopt the
budget when the tax rates are set, but this was not done at that
time.
The Town of Vinton has included in their proposed budget the
transfer of refuse fees from Roanoke County and are waiting for a
decision on this fee. They are unable to adopt their budget
until they are assured that Roanoke County will be transferring
this fee to them. Also, the Treasurer's Offices in Roanoke
County and the Town of Vinton must begin preparing tax bills.
These must be mailed by May 5, 1987 to receive payment on June 5,
1987. Postponement of this process could result in cash flow
difficulties.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board adopt the proposed budget for
fiscal year 1987/88. The Appropriation Resolution will be
brought to the Board in June. 4
