Roanoke Valley Regional Drug Initiative
Initiative Description: Elements from the existing Vice / Narcotics Units of the City of Roanoke, City of
Salem, and Roanoke County will be combined into one regional unit. The Virginia State Police will be
contributing two Special Agents and the Town of Vinton will provide one narcotics detective. DEA, ATF,
and Homeland Security will be participating and have requested on site work space. United States
Postal Inspection Service, FBI, and U. S. Marshals will also be participating on a part time basis but will
not be co-located at this time. In addition to enforcement personnel, Roanoke City, Roanoke County,
and Salem will be contributing existing surveillance equipment, office equipment and supplies,
intelligence information, and administrative support staff that are currently assigned to the respective
Vice / Narcotics units. These assets will remain the property of the respective departments but will be
pooled for use by all members of the initiative. The participating agencies will provide appropriate
vehicles for their personnel and Roanoke County will assist Vinton with the acquisition of a vehicle.
All enforcement and administrative staff will be located on the second floor of the Roanoke County
Police Department. Utilizing the space at the Roanoke County Police Department will eliminate the cost
of leasing a work space and will greatly reduce the cost of furnishing a new work space. If in the future a
more appropriate work space is identified, a feasibility and cost analysis will be conducted to determine
if a move should take place. At the current time, the intention is to stay located at the Roanoke County
Police Department.
The Roanoke County Police Department will serve as the lead agency and the Roanoke County
Department of Finance will serve as the fiscal agent and will be responsible for dispersal of funds to the
participating agencies.
The Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Offices of the City of Roanoke, City of Salem, and Roanoke County are
participants in the initiative. For year one, the goal is to have an identified Assistant Commonwealth
Attorney in each jurisdiction coordinate all drug prosecution and asset forfeitures. In the future, the
goal is to have an Assistant Commonwealth Attorney, with the necessary administrative support staff,
who will serve as the dedicated narcotics prosecutor in all three jurisdictions and will be able to work
with the United States Attorney to prosecute cases in Federal Court. The goal will be to identify
organized drug trafficking organizations and when possible to prosecute the cases as drug trafficking
conspiracies. The Commonwealth’s Attorneys will partner with the U. S. Attorney’s Office in regards to
identifying cases to be prosecuted in the federal courts. An additional component will be the creation of
a local, multi-jurisdictional state grand jury.
The initiative will continue to use drug purchases, confidential informants, and surveillance as the
primary investigative approaches to identify drug trafficking organizations, the initiative will not focus on
street level distribution. The focus of prosecutions will be on the disruption of organized drug
trafficking groups which is anticipated to contribute to the overall reduction of violent crime and
property crime in the Roanoke Valley.
The initiative will also place a renewed emphasis on cases developed from package interdiction. The
United States Postal Inspection Service has reported a large increase in the quantity of drugs being sent
through the U. S. mail and is currently in the process of establishing a working group for package
interdiction. Specifically, there has been a large increase of high grade marijuana being shipped in from
California, Oregon, and other West Coast states. The goal is to not just to prosecute the person
receiving the package but to identify the local distribution network and the out of state source of the
drugs. USPS reports that there are currently two postal inspectors covering 13,000 square miles in the
Roanoke Valley and southwest Virginia and that they do not have the resources to conduct package
interdiction without substantial assistance from other law enforcement. The Roanoke Valley Regional
Drug Initiative has already made a commitment of personnel to assist the USPS in this package
interdiction effort. This effort will also include package interdiction at the various shippers to include
UPS and Fed Ex.

VRA completed its summer issue of the Virginia Pooled Financing Program (VPFP) on
August 14, 2013. The County of Roanoke participated in this sale taking advantage of the
pool program issue structure that resulted in a blended "AAA/AA" rating from both Moody's
and Standard & Poor's rating agencies.
The ordinance authorized the refunding of the 2004 Bonds to provide annual debt service
savings to be used for the replacement of the Integrated Financial System, a Tier one
capital project which significantly impacts County operations.
Original estimated savings from the refunding transaction were approximately $2.6million.
Unfortunately interest rates increased sharply and much of the anticipated savings were
lost. After careful analysis by staff, discussions with County administration and the
recommendation of the County financial advisors, Raymond James, the County proceeded
with this transaction refunding certain bond maturities that yielded at least a net present
value savings of 6%. Total savings were $950,523 with the majority of the savings in 2013-
2014 and 2014-2015. The all in true interest cost was 3.4780% and the net present value
savings was 7.14%.
The County now has another opportunityto refund the remaining maturities that could
result in additional saving opportunities. Nevertheless, the County will need to find a way
to fund the Integrated Financial System in the near future.
Debt Refunding Opportunity:
The County, like many other surrounding municipalities, hasdebt that has been used for
government and School projects. The County’s debt compares similarly to that of other
governments.TheCounty has a very conservative debt management program with a plan
in place to fund the debt payments without adding any burden to the tax payers.
Currently we are ratedby Moody’s, Standard and Poor’s and Fitch Aa1, AA+, and AA
respectively. These ratings allow the County to borrow funds at very low interest rates.
The County of Roanoke works with Financial Advisors, Raymond James & Associates,
Inc., annually 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 the remaining 2004 lease revenue bonds through Virginia Resources Authority
(VRA). These bonds were originally issued through VRA to finance the Public Safety
Page 2of 4
Center. As hasbeen 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.
Current market conditions are showing projected refunding savings in the range of
$400,000 to $600,000, however as with the last refunding the market is ever changing and
difficult to predict. Staff will continue to work with financial advisor,Raymond James,and
VRA to ensure that the County of Roanoke nets the most savings possible with the
refunding.
Below is the AAA MMD index of the 10 year maturity since May 2013. With the
passage of time and the favorable interest rate environment, the County’s remaining
VRA Series 2004A Bonds are generating savings in the current market.
VRA Series 2004
Roanoke
Attached is the tentative timeline for VRA. Tentative bond sale dates would be early May
2014.Staff will provide an information report as has been done previously after the sale of
the bonds.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Attached is the original amortization schedule for the 2004 VRA lease revenue bonds.
Interest and principal payments vary from year to year,with principal paid annually and
interest paid semi-annually. If the bonds were kept to maturity the Countywouldpay$22.2
million of principal and $20.8 million in interest.
Page 3of 4
Bond issue costsassociated with the refunding are estimated at $35,000 to $45,000.
Savings from the 2004 refunding opportunity will be appropriated through the 2014-15
budgetto be used for the replacement of the Integrated Financial System.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommendsapproval of this ordinance.
