MEETING DATE: June 11, 2013
AGENDA ITEM: Request to authorize staff to work with financial advisors to
obtain bids for refunding a portion of the 2003 General
Obligation Bonds
SUBMITTED BY: Rebecca Owens
Director of Finance
APPROVED BY: B. Clayton Goodman III
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The County of Roanoke contracts with Raymond James & Associates, Inc., to provide
financial advisory services. Annually staff works with our financial advisors to review the
County's outstanding debt for potential refunding opportunities.
Based on this review and current market conditions, the County has the opportunity to
refund a portion of the 2003 General Obligation Bonds. These bonds were originally used
for various County projects. The current estimate of savings is approximately $525,000.
As has been previously done, the refunding will provide the opportunity of funds for much
needed capital while reducing the interest costs and leaving the final maturity the same.
As reviewed with the Board at the May 28, 2013, work session, the recommended use of
savings is the replacement of two refuse collection vehicles, a critical operational need that
was not able to be addressed during previous budget development and significantly impact
County operations.
Upon your approval, staff will work with Financial Advisors, Raymond James and
Associates to obtain bids for the refunding. Information obtained from the bid process will
be brought back to the Board in July 2013 for approval and appropriation.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends authorizing staff to work with Financial Advisors, Raymond James and
Associates, to obtain bids for the refunding of a portion of the 2003 General Obligation
Bonds.
VOTE:
Supervisor Flora moved to approve the staff recommendation.

RESOLUTION 061113 -3 ADOPTING A POLICY FOR ROANOKE
COUNTY HEALTH INSURANCE
WHEREAS, one of the measures of a well- managed locality is the adoption of
formal policies; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors recognizes the need to provide affordable
health insurance coverage; and
WHEREAS, it is important to the Board of Supervisors to contain costs of the
benefit plan while simultaneously promoting a healthy workforce and maintain adequate

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of
Roanoke County, Virginia, as follows;
1. That the policy for County Health Insurance is hereby adopted as follows; and
2. That this policy shall be in effect for fiscal year 2012 -2013, and the
subsequent fiscal years unless otherwise amended by the Board of
Supervisors
Page 1 of 4
County of Roanoke, Virginia
Policy for County Health Insurance
I. Background
Sponsors of public- sector health plans face challenges in providing stable,
sustainable health -care benefits. Plan sponsors need to find ways to manage
the costs of their health -care plans within the organization's financial
framework and structure in order to be more efficient while continuing to offer
a slate of health -care benefits that allows the County to be competitive in the
marketplace.
II. Purpose
This policy will establish guidelines to provide affordable health insurance
coverage to all eligible employees that would like to participate, and to
qualified retirees. The County wishes to contain the costs of the benefit plan
while simultaneously promoting a healthy workforce.
III. Policy Guidelines for Health Insurance
1. Guidelines for the purchase of employee health insurance. The County
has determined the following are in the best interest of providing
affordable health insurance:
a. The County is self- insured for health insurance, and bids the
administration and excess coverage of the insurance every 3 -5
years.
b. The County purchases health insurance administration and excess
coverage in a group that includes the Roanoke County Schools and
entities for which the County serves as fiscal agent. The County
will continue to participate in this group purchase, as long as it is
beneficial.
c. The County contracts with an independent health insurance
consultant. This consultant assists the County in bidding the health
insurance package every 3 -5 years. In non - bidding years, the
consultant assists in negotiating renewal contracts with the existing
vendor. The consultant also helps as needed to evaluate new
programs or other matters involving health insurance.
Page 2 of 4
2. Keep medical plan costs for County, Schools, et al, below the excise tax
thrAehnlrl
a. On an annual basis, a committee composed of employees from
Roanoke County, Roanoke County Schools, the WVRJA and the
RVRA meet with our insurance consultant to decide what changes
will be made in the health insurance benefits and rates.
b. Review any changes required by federal or state legislation.
c. Review the increase in the cost of health insurance over the
previous year.
d. Make plan design changes such that the excise threshold will not
be exceeded. These changes include:
i. Reducing benefits
ii. Increasing co -pays or deductibles
iii. Reviewing the excess coverage levels
e. The County will evaluate the long -range sustainability of any benefit
changes before adopting the change.
f. The cost sharing arrangements shall be structured to give the
employees a stake in lower costs.
3. Wellness Initiatives. The County supports a wellness program with
established goals of helping employees lead healthier lives and the
County to stabilize healthcare costs. Aspects of the initiative may include
an onsite employee health center, biometric screenings, health risk
assessments, and educational sessions. The County will partner with a
third party business associate to operate the health center and wellness
program and will offer an incentive to encourage participation.
Page 3 of 4
4. Establishment of Health Insurance Reserves The county believes that
sufficient reserves must be established to fund the self- insured program.
The County has set the level of the Reserves as follows:
a. An adequate and healthy reserve should allow funding for the
following
i. Claims incurred but not reported
ii. Self- insure for an aggregate risk level of 115%
iii. Adverse claim fluctuations, sharp rate increases and
uncertainty in the market
iv. Health Care Reform
v. wellness Program
b. Based on the above, the current level of needed health insurance
reserves is set at an amount recommended by an independent
consultant providing an expert opinion on the level of funding
required.
c. The level of the health insurance reserve will be reviewed on an
annual basis during the budget process.

COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: June 11, 2013
AGENDA ITEM: Request to transfer $1.5 million from Health Insurance
Reserve to the General Fund Unappropriated, Major Capital
and Minor Capital
SUBMITTED BY: Rebecca Owens
Director of Finance
APPROVED BY: B. Clayton Goodman III
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The County of Roanoke and Roanoke County Public Schools participate in a joint health
insurance program for eligible employees. The Roanoke Valley Resource Authority
(RVRA), and the Western Virginia Regional Jail Authority (WVRJA) also participate in our
plan. This medical plan is self- funded with reinsurance coverage to protect the financial
risk assumed. Under the current contract, reinsurance is composed of specific stop loss.
The specific stop loss threshold is $200,000. Specific reinsurance protects the plan from
any catastrophic claims paid on a member during the plan year. There are no annual or
lifetime maximum limits for the plan as we have negotiated unlimited stop loss protection.
Over the past several years the health insurance reserves have increased as a result of
premiums set at an aggregate limit of 105 %, lower claims experiences and transfer of
unused health budgets to reserves.
At the May 28, 2013, Board meeting during a work session a presentation on the health
insurance reserves was made to the Board. Staff reviewed the expert opinion from Ms.
Claire Holbrook, Senior Vice President of Wells Fargo Insurance Services recommending
the County hold anywhere from $4.0 to $4.2 million in the health insurance reserve for next
year.
An adequate and healthy reserve should allow funding for the following:
Page 1 of 3
• Claims incurred but not reported (IBNR)
• Aggregate risk level (115 %)
• Adverse claim fluctuations, sharp rate increases, and uncertainty in the market
• Health care reform
• Wellness Clinic
After a review of the information presented and discussion, the Board indicated a reserve
in the amount of $5 million continued to bean appropriate amount. This was mainly in part
due to the County funding a wellness program and several years of budget increases from
the reserve.
Discussion among the Board for use of the excess funds, ranged from putting the funds
towards other projects, to transferring $1.5 million from health insurance reserves and
allocating $500,000 to General Fund Unappropriated, $500,000 to Major Capital and
$500,000 to the Minor Capital, to leaving the funds in the health reserve for uncertainty of
the costs associated with the Affordable Care Act.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Health insurance reserves are projected to be at approximately $5 million at June 30, 2013,
after transferring $1.5 million to the General Fund and Capital Fund. The General Fund
Unappropriated balance will increase to $21,072,318, which is 10.96% of 2012 -2013
General Fund revenues. The County's policy goal is 11 %. The Minor and Major Capital
w i l l increase by $500,000 each.
No appropriation is required as this transaction is merely re- allocating funds from one
reserve to another. Board action and appropriation will be required at a later time when
there is a request to spend the funds.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Transfer $1.5 million from the health insurance reserves and allocate $500,000 to
the General Fund Unappropriated balance, $500,000 to the Major Capital and
$500,000 to the Minor Capital reserves.
2. Transfer $1.5 million from the health insurance reserves and put toward other
projects as defined by the Board.
3. Do not transfer any funds out of the health insurance reserve.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends, alternative 1, transferring $1.5 million from the health insurance
reserves and allocating $500,000 to the General Fund Unappropriated balance, $500,000
to the Major Capital and $500,000 to the Minor Capital reserves.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: June 11, 2013
AGENDA ITEM:
SUBMITTED BY:
Request to authorize the termination of a the lease with B.
Wayne Dunman and Rebecca J. Dunman
B. Clayton Goodman III
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
This is a request to authorize the early termination of a lease between the Board of
Supervisors of Roanoke County and B. Wayne Dunman and Rebecca J. Dunman t/a
Dunman Floral Supply, Inc. (Tenant). To accomplish this early termination it is
necessary to compensate the Tenant.
On June 28, 2011, the Board adopted Ordinance #062811 -14, which authorized the
lease of 0.761 acre and 1.24 acres located 304 Pollard Street, Vinton, Virginia to the
Tenant for one (1) year beginning August 1, 2011, with automatic renewals for two (2)
additional one (1) year terms, unless the Tenant notified the County of its intention not
to renew. After the third (3 annual lease term the County could notify the Tenant of its
intention not to renew the lease. The Tenant pays the County $45,000 per year as rent.
The County and the Town of Vinton desire to accelerate the construction of the
proposed new library. The County Administrator has negotiated an early termination of
this lease with the Tenant. The Tenant is requiring the payment of $60,000 to terminate
this lease. Staff believes it is beneficial to have the tenant relocated by September 30,
2013, in order that the Vinton Library Project can proceed with an aggressive schedule.
Like the Glenvar Library Project, County staff is recommending that the building and site
demolition be scheduled separately from building construction. It would be scheduled
for late fall, 2013. This will allow the project to move forward to the construction phase
by February, 2014. The current schedule indicates bidding on January 1 of 2014 and
construction beginning in mid - February of 2014. This same schedule indicates a final
Page 1 of 3
construction inspection (project completion) of June 15, 2015. This is the current project
schedule and is subject to change due to ongoing design and other work on the project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Tenant is requiring the payment of $60,000 to terminate this lease. The Town of
Vinton has agreed to pay $20,000, if the County pays the remaining $40,000.
The County projects that it will have $40,000 available in the Vinton Library Project to
cover this cost. It is anticipated that the County will receive the $20,000 from the Town
of Vinton, so that we can provide one check to Mr. Dunman for the termination of this
lease. Once the funds are received from the Town of Vinton, a Board report will be
completed to appropriate the funds.
Staff has reviewed the construction cost index to determine the present value of
accelerating the construction of this library. The current annual index is +2.3 %. The
County's anticipated construction cost for Vinton Library is $5.6 million for the building
only, so an eighteen (18) month delay at +2.3% would yield a conservative estimate of a
cost increase of $193,200. If the +2.3% increase is applied to the entire project (such
as furnishings, demolition, etc.) then a total project increase of $309,545 is estimated.
Borrowing costs due to possible increases in interest rates could also increase total
project costs. An expenditure of $60,000 that allows work to start eighteen (18) months
earlier than would otherwise be the case is clearly justifiable from a cost perspective.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board consider authorizing the early termination of the lease
with B. Wayne Dunman and Rebecca J. Dunman and providing a payment of $40,000
from the Vinton Library Project.

Fiscal Agent Agreement
Between
The County of Roanoke,
And
The Regional Center for Animal Control and Protection
This agreement is made the 11 t" day of June, 2013, by and between the Board of
Supervisors of Roanoke County ( "County "), a political subdivision and county of the
Commonwealth of Virginia, and The Regional Center for Animal Control and
Protection, an intergovernmental agreement between the County of Roanoke, City of
Roanoke, Town of Vinton, and Botetourt County.
RECITALS
1. The Regional Center for Animal Control and Protection (Regional Pound) was
created by an intergovernmental agreement dated December 11, 2012 between the
charter members of the City of Roanoke, County of Roanoke, Town of Vinton, and
Botetourt County pursuant to code section 3.26546 of the Code of Virginia which requires
the governing body of each county, town, or city to maintain or cause a "pound" to be
maintained and allows one or more local governing bodies to operate a single "pound" in
conjunction with one another.
2. Section 3.2 of the intergovernmental agreement designates the County of
Roanoke to be the fiscal agent until otherwise agreed to by a unanimous vote of the
Executive Committee, and the fiscal agent is required to maintain a program account for
the receipt of funds paid by the Participating Localities and fees paid by the general
public, and for payment expenses for the operation, maintenance, repairs, and capital
improvements to the Regional Pound.
AGREEMENT
The County is hereby authorized to serve as Fiscal Agent for the Regional Pound as
set forth herein. As such, the Regional Pound and the County agree to the provisions
outlined below:
1. Maintenance of Books. The County will establish a separate fund(s) on the
County financial system to maintain the financial records of the Regional Pound.
2. Pooled Cash. As part of the overall pooled cash concept that is used by the
County, the cash of the Regional Pound will be accounted for separately but may be
pooled with the cash of the County and other agencies that the County serves as fiscal
agent. As such, the Treasurer of the County is authorized to make investments for the
pooled cash in accordance with applicable law, including, without limitation, the
Investment of Public Funds Act, 2.2 -4500 et seq., Code of Virginia (1950), as amended,
Page 1 of 4
and the Virginia Security for Public Deposits Act, 2.2 -4400 et seq., Code of Virginia
(1950), as amended .
3. Negative Cash. As a participant in the pooled cash concept of the County, the
Regional Pound may have a negative cash balance from time to time. The Regional
Pound agrees to minimize the negative cash to the extent possible. The cash balance
must be positive at the end of the fiscal year.
4. Interest Income. At the end of each month, the County allocates interest income
earned during that month to all of the funds based upon the percentage participation on
the pooled cash. If the net interest income is negative at the end of a month, then
negative interest will be allocated to the fund.
5. Loss on Investments. In the unlikely event that the County pooled cash has a
loss on an investment through default, market decline, or other reason except for
negligence, theft, or legal violations by the County and /or its agents, the Regional Pound
will share in the loss using the methodology described in paragraph 4.
6. Revenues. All revenues of the Regional Pound will be deposited with the County
Treasurer.
7. Payment of Vendors. The County will make vendor payments for the Regional
Pound. These payments will be made in a manner consistent with County procedures.
These payments will be combined into the normal County vendor payment process, and
