NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia, as follows: 1. That the Policy for Integrating Bicycles and Pedestrian Accommodations into all County transportation projects is hereby established; and Page 1 of 2 Virginia Department of Transportation Policy for Integrating Bicycle and Pedestrian Accommodations 1. Introduction Bicycling and walking are fundamental travel modes and integral components of an efficient transportation network. Appropriate bicycle and pedestrian accommodations provide the public, including the disabled community, with access to the transportation network; connectivity with other modes of transportation; and independent mobility regardless of age, physical constraints, orincome. Effective bicycle and pedestrian accommodations enhance thequality of life and health, strengthen communities, increase safety for all highway users, reduce congestion, and can benefit the environment. Bicycling and walking are successfully accommodated when travel by these modes is efficient, safe, and comfortable for the public. A strategic approach will consistentlyincorporate the consideration and provision of bicycling and walking accommodationsinto the decision-making process for Virginia’s transportation network. 2. Purpose This policy provides the framework through which the Virginia Department of Transportation will accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians, including pedestrians with disabilities, along with motorized transportation modes in the planning, funding, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of Virginia’s transportation network to achieve a safe, effective, and balanced multimodal transportation system. Forthe purposes of this policy, an accommodation is defined as any facility, design feature, operational change, or maintenance activity that improves the environment in which bicyclists and pedestrians travel. Examples of such accommodationsinclude the provision of bike lanes, sidewalks, and signs; the installation of curb extensions for traffic calming; and the addition of paved shoulders. 3. Project Development The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will initiate all highway construction projects with the presumption that the projects shall accommodate bicycling and walking. Factors that supportthe need to provide bicycle and pedestrian accommodations include, but are not limited to, the following: project is identified in an adopted transportation or related plan x project accommodates existing and future bicycle and pedestrian use x project improves or maintains safety for all users x project provides a connection to public transportation services and facilities x project serves areas or population groups with limited transportation options x project provides a connection to bicycling and walking trip generators such as employment, x education, retail, recreation, and residential centers and public facilities project is identified in a Safe Routes to School program or providesaconnection to a x school project provides a regional connection or is of regional or state significance x project provides a link to other bicycle and pedestrian accommodations x 1 Virginia Department of Transportation Policy for Integrating Bicycle and Pedestrian Accommodations projectprovidesaconnection to traverse natural or man-made barriers x project provides a tourism or economic development opportunity x Project development for bicycle and pedestrian accommodations will follow VDOT’sproject programming and scheduling processandconcurrent engineering process.VDOT will encourage the participation of localities in concurrent engineering activities that guide the project development. 3.1 Accommodations Built as Independent Construction Projects Bicycle and pedestrian accommodations can be developed through projects that are independent of highway construction, either within the highway right-of-way or on an independent right-of- way.Independent construction projects can be utilized to retrofit accommodations along existing roadways, improve existing accommodations to better serve users, and install facilities toprovide continuity and accessibility within the bicycle and pedestrian network. These projects will follow the same procedures as those for other construction projects for planning, funding, design, and construction. Localities and metropolitan planning organizations will be instrumental in identifying and prioritizing theseindependentconstructionprojects. 3.2Access-Controlled Corridors Access-controlled corridors can create barriers to bicycle and pedestrian travel. Bicycling and walking may be accommodated within or adjacent to access-controlled corridors through the provision of facilities on parallel roadways or physically separated parallel facilities within the right-of-way. Crossings of such corridors must be provided to establish or maintain connectivity of bicycle and pedestrian accommodations. 3.3Additional ImprovementOpportunities Bicycle and pedestrian accommodations willbe considered in other types of projects.Non- construction activities can be used to improve accommodations for bicycling and walking.In addition, anyprojectthat affects or could affect the usability of an existing bicycle or pedestrian accommodation within the highway system must be consistent with state and federal laws. 3.3.1 Operation and Maintenance Activities Bicycling and walking should be considered in operational improvements, includinghazard elimination projects and signal installation. Independent operational improvements for bicycling and walking, such as the installation of pedestrian signals, should be coordinated with local transportation and safety offices. The maintenance program will consider bicycling and walking sothatcompleted activities will nothinderthe movement of those choosing to use these travel modes. The maintenance program may produce facility changes that will enhance the environment for bicycling and walking, such as the addition of paved shoulders. 3.3.2Long Distance Bicycle Routes Long distance bicycle routes facilitate travel for bicyclists through the use of shared lanes, bike lanes, and shared use paths, as well as signage. All projects along a long distance route meeting the criteria for an American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials 2 Virginia Department of Transportation Policy for Integrating Bicycle and Pedestrian Accommodations (AASHTO)orManual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) approved numbered bicycle route system should provide the necessary design features to facilitate bicycle travel. Independent construction projects and other activities can be utilized to make improvements for existing numbered bicycle routes. Consideration should be given to facilitating the development of other types of long distance routes. 3.3.3Tourism and Economic Development Bicycling and walking accommodations can serve as unique transportation links between historic, cultural, scenic, and recreational sites, providing support to tourism activities and resulting economic development. Projects along existing or planned tourism and recreation corridors should include bicycle and pedestrian accommodations. In addition, the development of independent projects to serve this type of tourism and economic development function should be considered and coordinated with economic development organizations at local, regional, and state levels, as well as withother related agencies. Projects must also address the need to provide safety and connectivity for existing and planned recreational trails, such as the Appalachian Trail, that intersect with the state’s highway system. 3.4Exceptions to the Provision of Accommodations Bicycle and pedestrian accommodations should be provided except where one or more of the following conditions exist: scarcity of population, travel, and attractors, both existing and future, indicate an absence of x need for such accommodations environmental or social impacts outweigh the need for these accommodations x safetywould be compromised x total cost of bicycle and pedestrian accommodations to the appropriate system (i.e., x interstate, primary, secondary, or urban system) would be excessively disproportionate to theneed for the facility purpose and scope of the specific project do not facilitate the provision of such x accommodations (e.g., projects for the Rural Rustic Road Program) bicycle and pedestrian travel is prohibited by state or federal laws x 3.5Decision Process The project manager and local representatives will, based on the factors listed previously in this section, develop a recommendation on how and whether to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians in a construction project prior to the public hearing. The district administrator should confirm this recommendation prior to the public hearing. Public involvement comments will be reviewed and incorporated into project development prior to the preparation of the design approval recommendation. When a locality is not in agreement with VDOT’s position on how bicyclists and pedestrians will or will not be accommodated in a construction project, the locality can introduce a formal appeal by means of a resolution adopted by the local governing body. The resolution must be submitted to the district administrator to be reviewed and considered prior to the submission of the design approval recommendation to the chief engineer for program development. Local resolutions must be forwarded to the chief engineer for program development for consideration during the project design approval or to the Commonwealth 3 Virginia Department of Transportation Policy for Integrating Bicycle and Pedestrian Accommodations Transportation Board for consideration during location and design approval, if needed for a project. The resolution and supporting information related to the recommendation must be included in the project documentation. The decisions made by VDOT and localities for the provision of bicycle and pedestrian travel must be consistent with state and federal laws regarding accommodations and access for bicyclingand walking. 4. Discipline Participation in Project Development VDOT will provide the leadership to implement this policy. Those involved in the planning, funding, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the state’s highways are responsible for effecting the guidance set forth in this policy. VDOT recognizes the need for interdisciplinary coordination to efficiently develop, operate, and maintain bicycle and pedestrian accommodations. Procedures, guidelines, and best practices will be developedor revised toimplement the provisions set forth in this policy. For example, objective criteria will be prepared to guide decisions on the restriction of bicycle and pedestrian use of access-controlled facilities. VDOT will work with localities, regional planning agencies, advisory committees, and other stakeholdersto facilitate implementation andwill offer training or other resource tools on planning, designing, operating, and maintaining bicycle and pedestrian accommodations. 4.1 Planning VDOT will promote the inclusion of bicycle and pedestrian accommodations in transportation planning activities at local, regional, and statewide levels. These planning activities include, but are not limited to, corridor studies, small urban studies, regional plans, and the statewide multimodal long-range transportation plan.To carry out this task, VDOT will coordinate with local government agencies, regional planning agencies, and community stakeholder groups. In addition, VDOT will coordinate with the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (VDRPT) and local and regional transit providers to identify needs for bicycle and pedestrian access to public transportation services and facilities. 4.2 Funding Highway construction funds can be used to build bicycle and pedestrian accommodations either concurrentlywith highway construction projects or as independent transportation projects. Both types of bicycle and pedestrian accommodation projects will be funded in the same manner as otherhighway construction projects for each system (i.e., interstate, primary, secondary, or urban).VDOT’s participation in the development and construction of an independent project that is not associated with the interstate, primary, secondary, or urban systems will be determined through a negotiated agreement with the locality or localities involved. Other state and federal funding sources eligible for the development of bicycle and pedestrian accommodations may be used, following program requirements established for these sources. 4 Virginia Department of Transportation Policy for Integrating Bicycle and Pedestrian Accommodations These sources include, but are not limited to, programs for highway safety, enhancement, air quality, congestion relief, and special access. VDOT may enter into agreements with localities or other entities in order to pursue alternate funding to develop bicycle and pedestrian accommodations, so long as the agreements are consistent with state and federal laws. 4.3 Design and Construction VDOT will work with localities to select and design accommodations, taking into consideration community needs, safety, and unique environmental and aesthetic characteristics as they relate to specific projects. The selection of the specific accommodations to be used for a project will be based on the application ofappropriate planning, design, and engineering principles. The accommodations will be designed and built, or installed, using guidance from VDOT and AASHTO publications, the MUTCD, and the Americans with Disabilities ActAccessibility Guidelines (ADAAG). Methods for providing flexibility within safe design parameters, such as context sensitive solutions and design, will be considered. During the preparation ofan environmental impact statement (EIS), VDOT will consider the current and anticipated future use of the affected facilities by bicyclists and pedestrians, the potential impacts of the alternatives on bicycle and pedestrian travel, and proposed measures, if any, to avoid or reduce adverse impacts to the use of these facilities by bicyclists and pedestrians. Duringproject design VDOT will coordinate with VDRPT to address bicyclist and pedestrian access to existing and planned transit connections. Requests for exceptions to design criteria must be submitted in accordance with VDOT’s design exception review process. The approval of exceptions will be decided by theFederal Highway Administration or VDOT’s Chief Engineer for Program Development. VDOT will ensure that accommodations for bicycling and walking are built in accordance with design plans and VDOT’s construction standards and specifications. 4.4 Operations VDOT will consider methods of accommodating bicycling and walking along existing roads through operational changes, such as traffic calming and crosswalk marking, where appropriate and feasible. VDOT will work with VDRPT and local and regional transit providers to identify the need for ancillary facilities, such as shelters and bike racks on buses, that support bicycling and walking to transit connections. VDOT will enforce the requirements for the continuance of bicycle and pedestrian traffic in work zones, especially in areas at or leading to transit stops, and infacility replacements in accordance with the MUTCD, VDOTWorkArea Protection Manual, and VDOT Land Use 5 Virginia Department of Transportation Policy for Integrating Bicycle and Pedestrian Accommodations Permit Manual when construction, utility, or maintenance work, either by VDOT or other entities, affects bicycle and pedestrian accommodations. VDOT will continue to research and implement technologies that could be used to improve the safety and mobility of bicyclists and pedestrians in Virginia’stransportation network, such as signal detection systems for bicycles and in-pavement crosswalk lights. 4.5 Maintenance VDOT will maintain bicycle and pedestrian accommodations as necessary to keep the accommodations usable and accessible in accordance with state and federal laws and VDOT’s asset management policy. Maintenance of bike lanes and paved shoulders will include repair, replacement, and clearance of debris. As these facilities are an integral part of the pavement structure, snow and ice control will be performed on these facilities. For sidewalks, shared use paths, and bicycle paths built within department right-of-way, built to department standards, and accepted for maintenance, VDOT will maintain these bicycle and pedestrian accommodations through replacement and repair. VDOT will not provide snow or ice removal for sidewalks and shared use paths. The execution of agreements between VDOT and localities for maintenance of such facilities shall not be precluded under this policy. 5. Effective Date This policy becomes effect upon itsadoption by the Commonwealth Transportation Board on March 18, 2004, and willapply toprojectsthat reach the scoping phase after itsadoption. This policy shall supersede all current department policies and procedures related to bicycle and pedestrian accommodations. VDOT willdevelop or revise procedures, guidelines, and best practices to support and implement the provisions set forth in this policy, and future departmental policies and procedural documents shall comply with the provisions set forth in this policy. 6 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2013 ÑÎÜ×ÒßÒÝÛ ïïïîïíóïð ßÐÐÎÑÐÎ×ßÌ×ÒÙ ÚËÒÜÍ ×Ò ÌØÛ ßÓÑËÒÌ ÑÚ üïïêôððð ÚÎÑÓ ÌØÛ Ó×ÒÑÎ ÝßÐ×ÌßÔ ÎÛÍÛÎÊÛ ÌÑ ÙÛÒÛÎßÔ ÍÛÎÊ×ÝÛÍ ßÌ ÌØÛ ÎÑßÒÑÕÛ ÝÑËÒÌÇñÍßÔÛÓ Öß×Ô rd) WHEREAS, the Magistrate for the Twenty-third (23 Judicial Circuit has two (2) offices, one of which is located in the Roanoke County/Salem Jail; and WHEREAS, for several years, the County has been identifying ways to renovate the office in order to provide more space for equipment, two (2) hearing areas and a secure rest room facility; and WHEREAS, during the past six (6) months, the General Services Department has been working with the Sheriff Department and the Chief Magistrate, along with Virginia A&E, to create a workable solution, given the space constraints in the lobby in the jail; and WHEREAS, the project was put out to bid and the lower responsible bid for construction received was $148,000; and WHEREAS, due to the anticipated difficulty of the project a contingency of $52,000 is recommended; and WHEREAS, total project costs with contingency are estimated at $200,000; and WHEREAS, funds in the amount of $84,000 are currently appropriated to the project; and WHEREAS, the remaining funds for the project in the amount of $116,000 are available for appropriation in the minor capital reserve: and Page 1 of 2  AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2013 ÑÎÜ×ÒßÒÝÛ ïïïîïíóïï ßËÌØÑÎ×Æ×ÒÙ ÌØÛ ßÞßÒÜÑÒÓÛÒÌ ÑÚ ßÒ ÛÈ×ÍÌ×ÒÙ ÝÎÑÍÍ ßÝÝÛÍÍ ÛßÍÛÓÛÒÌô ÌØÛ ÙÎßÒÌ×ÒÙ ÑÚ ß ÒÛÉ ÝÎÑÍÍ ßÝÝÛÍÍ ÛßÍÛÓÛÒÌô ßÒÜ ÌØÛ ßÝÝÛÐÌßÒÝÛ ÑÚ ß ÍÌÑÎÓÉßÌÛÎ ÓßÒßÙÛÓÛÒÌ ßÒÜ ÜÎß×ÒßÙÛ ÛßÍÛÓÛÒÌ ó ÙÔÛÒÊßÎ Ô×ÞÎßÎÇ ßÒÜ Î×ÝØÚ×ÛÔÜ ÎÛÌ×ÎÛÓÛÒÌ ÝÑÓÓËÒ×ÌÇ WHEREAS, by deed of exchange of easements dated December 19, 1996, and recorded in the Roanoke Count the County and Richfield Retirement Community conveyed certain easements to each other; and WHEREAS, due to the expansion and reconstruction by Roanoke County of the Glenvar Library, the County and Richfield Retirement Community entered into an agreement dated December 1, 2011, which provided that Richfield would relinquish its easement rights to use Twenty-Four foot () granted by the above mentioned deed of easement and upon completion of the expansion and reconstruction of the Glenvar Library, the County would convey to Richfield a new access easement; and WHEREAS, further the agreement provided that Richfield would convey to the County a stormwater management easement on its property identified as Tax Map #55.09-01-20.02; and WHEREAS, the abandonment of the above mentioned cross access easement and the granting of a new cross access easement to Richfield Retirement Community and the acceptance of a stormwater management and drainage easement from Page 1 of 3  Richfield Retirement Community will serve the interests of the public and is necessary for the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Roanoke County.

There are several benefits for allowing staff to cash in up to eighty (80) hours of leave annually: As staffing has been reduced across departments, the work load and service delivery has increased for employees. This is a way to gain additional labor hours to meet county department goals. Increases productivity in that the last three months of the fiscal year employees often ask off to avoid losing leave over the maximum limit. Reduces the amount of overtime dollars particularly in Public Safety Departments who work 24/7 by reducing the use of overtime hours for employees on leave. Reduces the amount of unfunded liability of future leave payout by paying it now rather than later at a higher cost. Helps employees by giving them more access to earned leave cash during these times of budget constraints which has prevented COLA increases. This change was reviewed and supported by the Employee Advisory Committee. Page 1 of 2  Ú×ÍÝßÔ ×ÓÐßÝÌæ In the current year, this change will be funded by the use of carryover funds from 2012- 2013 and all future amounts will be included in the budget process.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia, as follows: 1. That the Policy for the Use of Unexpended Appropriations at Year End is hereby amended as follows; and Page 1 of 2  County of Roanoke Policy for Use of Unexpended Expenditure Appropriations at Year End I. Background At the end of a fiscal year, unspent expenditure appropriations generally lapse and revert to a reserve or fund balance within the fund in which the appropriations originated. In some cases it is desirable to reappropriate a portion of these funds to allow for the completion of projects or purchases in process. The County provides for these instances by including wording in the Appropriation Ordinance that encompasses encumbrances, capital projects and school funds. The National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting (NACSLB) has issued guidelines representing standards of excellence in governmental budgeting that include the preparation of policies and plans for capital asset acquisition, maintenance, and replacement (Principle 2; Element 5; Practice 5.2). This policy addresses this standard. II. Purpose This policy would establish guidelines to fund the Minor County Capital Reserve, the Technology Reserve, and to distribute unspent funds at year end to departments for needed expenditures. This additional departmental funding will provide an opportunity for departments to invest in items that will assist them in meeting their service delivery objectives. Encouraging frugal management practices will provide a more flexible environment and allow innovative and efficient approaches to servicing our citizens. III. Performance Standard Departments will not engage in practices, for the purpose of solely generating savings that will adversely affect the quality of service delivery, unless approved by the County Administrator and/or the Board of Supervisors. IV. Policy Guidelines A. When the County's accounts are closed out at the fiscal year-end, the unencumbered expenditure savings will be allocated as follows: a. Fifty-five percent (55%) of the unencumbered expenditure savings from each departmental budget of the General Fund will be designated for reappropriation to that department in the following fiscal year, b. Ten percent (10%) will be allocated to a Technology Reserve for technology prioritized by the Technology Governance Committee and approved by the County Administrator, and c. The remaining thirty-five percent (35%) of the unencumbered expenditure savings will revert to the Minor County Capital Reserve for future capital projects approved by the Board of Supervisors. B. Requests for the reappropriation of departmental funds will be evaluated and approved by the County Administrator on an item-by-item basis. These funds are “non-recurring”; therefore, the use of these funds can only be used for Page 1 of 2 expenditures such as vehicle replacement, computers, renovations, training or other purposes that relate to the department's mission and do not require expenditures in future fiscal years. These funds cannot be used for salary increases, additional personnel or expansion of services. C. The use of Technology Reserve funds are governed by a separate Technology Reserve Policy D. The use of Minor Capital Reserve funds are governed by a separate Capital Reserve Policy Page 2 of 2 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2013 ÎÛÍÑÔËÌ×ÑÒ ïïïîïíóïîòº ßÓÛÒÜ×ÒÙ ÌØÛ ÐÑÔ×ÝÇ ÚÑÎ ÎÑßÒÑÕÛ ÝÑËÒÌÇ ÝßÐ×ÌßÔ ÎÛÍÛÎÊÛÍ ÌÑ ×ÒÝÔËÜÛ ÌØÛ ÌÛÝØÒÑÔÑÙÇ ÎÛÍÛÎÊÛ WHEREAS, one of the measures of a fiscally well managed locality is the adoption of formal fiscal policies; and WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors recognizes the need to fund capital projects, including technology projects; and WHEREAS, it is important to the Board of Supervisors to fund some capital and technology projects on a pay-as-you-go basis; and WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors has previously adopted Resolution 122104-3 on December 21, 2004, establishing a Policy for Capital Reserves; and WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors desires to amend this policy to establish a Technology Reserve. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia, as follows; 1. That the Policy for Roanoke County Capital Reserves is hereby amended as follows; and 2. That this policy shall be in effect for fiscal year 2013-2014, and the subsequent fiscal years unless otherwise amended by the Board of Supervisors; and 3. That this policy change shall take precedent over existing language in Item #6 of budget ordinance 052813-2 for fiscal year 2013-2014 Page 1 of 2 County of Roanoke, Virginia Policy for County Capital Reserves I. Background The County of Roanoke recognizes one of the keys to sound financial management is the development of a systematic way to fund capital projects, including technology projects.

The National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting (NACSLB) has issued guidelines representing standards of excellence in governmental budgeting that include the preparation of policies and plans for capital asset acquisition, maintenance, and replacement (Principle 2; Element 5; Practice 5.2).

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia, that the following legislative initiatives are submitted for its legislative program for the 2014 session of the Virginia General Assembly for its favorable consideration and adoption. 1) Oppose the elimination of the authority of local governments to adopt Business, professional and occupation license taxes (BPOL) and machinery & tools taxes (M&T), unless a comparable locally controlled replacement source of local tax revenue is authorized to replace the eliminated local tax revenue. These local taxes comprise approximately six percent (6%) revenues or $8,000,000 annually. 2) Support legislation placing the Virginia Executive Council (SEC) under the Administrative Process Act (Sec. 2.2-4000, et seq.) of the Code of Virginia. The SEC is not currently subject to the procedural due process protections found in the Administrative Process Act like other state agencies. This would provide the County with an opportunity to address changes in rules and regulations developed by SEC that would impact its CSA program. Page 1 of 3 3) Legal Notices Roanoke County requests the General assembly to eliminate the requirement for publication of legal notices in newspapers. Roanoke County spent over $18,000 in legal notice publication costs last year. Paid circulation of newspapers is dropping. More citizens are getting their information from the internet. 4) Civil Penalties for Local Ordinances (Sec. 15.2-901) Amend Sec. 15.2-901.C and D of the Code of Virginia to increase the authority of local governments to impose civil penalties for violations of local ordinances requiring the removal of trash or cutting of grass and weeds. Currently the civil penalty is limited to $50 for the first violation and $200 for subsequent violations within a 12 month period. 5) Delay the Implementation of the Stormwater Regulations and Devolution of Program Enforcement to Localities. Less than ten point five percent (10.5%) of Roanoke County drains into the Chesapeake Bay. Local governments are struggling to meet the regulatory deadlines established by the Commonwealth. Prioritizing and dividing regulatory and enforcement responsibilities among those portions of the Commonwealth between those localities that drain into the Chesapeake Bay and those that do not or that have limited impact on the Bay would simplify this complex and costly transition. Delaying implementation for one year for those localities with less than eleven percent (11%) of their land area draining into the Bay would better enable the Commonwealth and those localities to implement these extensive and costly regulatory and enforcement requirements. 6) Pay its Portion of is Virginia Retirement System (VRS) Obligations. The General Assembly should fully fund its unfunded liabilities in VRS and restore VRS to an actuarially sound status. Only three times since 1995 has the General Assembly paid the recommended contribution, while local governments have fully funded their recommended contributions to VRS.

Participation will assist lower income citizens in the management of their money. ÍËÓÓßÎÇ ÑÚ ×ÒÚÑÎÓßÌ×ÑÒæ The City of Roanoke and the United Way are seeking support from other local governments in the Roanoke Valley to project. Bank On is designed to connect unbanked and underbanked consumers in the Roanoke Valley with mainstream financial services including low-cost checking accounts, saving accounts and financial education opportunities. st The request is to support the initiative for two (2) years and to provide funds in first (1) year with an estimated cost of $3,500 from Roanoke County. United Way of Roanoke Valley (UWRV) states that the average unbanked person spends five percent (5%) of net income on unnecessary fees, which is about $1,000 a year for a lower-to-medium income worker. City Manager Chris Morrill hopes that if the program can establish 1,000 new accounts this could translate to a total cost savings of $1,000,000 for families in the Roanoke Valley and serve as a stepping stone to their long-term financial stability. Attached to this report is a copy of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which each government is asked to sign if they wish to participate and a copy of the attachment, which provides the estimates for the number of unbanked and underbanked consumers in the Roanoke Valley and the calculation information for each local governments proposed contribution.
