COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Cherry Bekaert completed the audit of the financial operations of the County of Roanoke
and the County of Roanoke Public Schools for the year ended June 30, 2015. Both the
County and Schools received a clean and unmodified opinion. The Audit Committee met
on November 10, 2015, to review the results of the year's operations
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report will be distributed to the Board of Supervisors
as soon as it is received from the printer. Rob Churchman, Partner, Cherry Bekaert will be
at the meeting to present the audit information to the Board.
On August 25, 2015 staff reviewed preliminary unaudited financial results for June 30,
2015, and there have been minimal changes since that work session. Below is information
for the County regarding the General Government results of operations for fiscal year
ended June 30, 2015.
Results of Operations of the County of Roanoke for the Year Ended June 30, 2015:
Revenues
We are pleased to report that fiscal year 2014-2015 General Fund Revenues exceeded the
final amended budget by a variance of 1.12% or $2,131,085. Historically, the Board had
expressed a desire to target surplus revenues at no more than 2%. It is important to note
that most of the surplus was factored into fiscal year 2015-2016 projections; therefore, this
Page 1 of 3
surplus is not expected to recur.
A summary of the general fund revenues is outlined in Attachment I and reasons for these
variances are as follows:
• Real estate tax collections were $253,395 above budget as a result of assessment
values being slightly above the projected amount.
• Personal property tax collections were $652,853 above budget as a result of car
values continuing to hold strong and an increase in new car sales.
• Other Local Taxes and Fees were $695,475 above budget primarily the result of
increased collections for ambulance fees and court security fees.
• Intergovernmental Revenues were $668,721 above budget primarily the result of
reimbursements for Social Services programs.
Expenditures:
Departmental expenditure savings amounted to $1,250,924 as shown on Attachment I and
reasons for these variances are as follows:
• Public Transportation -$132,979 savings - Primarily the result of prior year
carryover.
• Sheriff Department -$554,203 savings -The majority of the expenditure savings were
related to less prisoner population at the WVRJA than originally projected and
savings in the care and confinement of prisoners.
• Fire and Rescue Operations was $368,785 over budget primarily related to
expenses associated with overtime.
• Court Services Unit -$162,775 savings related to reduced usage of juvenile
detention
• Department encumbrances -$601,494 savings -Funds that were obligated prior to
the end of the fiscal year but not paid until the following year
The policies for use of general fund revenues and expenditures in excess of budget at year
end designates portions of the year-end balance for capital reserves as well as to the
general fund unappropriated balance. Based upon these policies, staff recommends the
following:
• $500,000 will be added to the general fund unappropriated balance. This was
budgeted as part of the 2015-2016 budget and will increase the General Fund
Page 2 of 3
Unappropriated Balance to $22,305,348 at June 30, 2015 which is 11.01 % of the
2015-16 General Fund Revenues.
• $1,631,084 will be allocated to Capital reserves from revenues
• $649,431 will be allocated to Capital reserves from expenditures
• $601,494 will be carried over for outstanding purchase orders
These appropriations are covered in the budget ordinance 052615-3 and no action is
required by the Board.
Results of Operations of the Roanoke County Public Schools for the Year Ended
June 30, 2015:
The Schools ended the year with a revenue surplus of approximately $802,652 and
expenditure savings of $1,660,861 net of outstanding purchase orders and the Emergency
Reserve. The School Board will review the audit results at their regular board meeting on
November 12, 2015. An information report will be provided at the December 8, 2015
meeting.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The Roanoke County Police and Fire/Rescue Departments are seeking approval to
purchase a command vehicle, which would be utilized in large scale public safety
events that occur within the County. The command vehicle will provide staff a safe and
secure location to manage large scale events and joint operations consistent with
Incident Command System protocols.
The Command Vehicle would be a joint purchase between the Roanoke County Police
Department and the Roanoke County Fire and Rescue Department. The vehicle is a
twenty (20) foot box truck that has two (2) computer work stations and a conference
area that can hold up to eight (8) people for briefings. It will be equipped with three (3)
radios that are capable of communication between Roanoke County agencies and other
public safety agencies in the Roanoke Valley as well as a day/night camera that is
mounted to a telescoping pneumatic mast that can be extended to give the command
staff a real time view of a scene. This vehicle will serve as an on scene command post
for extended events that could range from several hours to several days. The life
Page 1 of 3
expectancy of this vehicle is approximately twenty (20) years. The total cost for the
vehicle is $310,848.48.
Effective January 16, 2015, Executive Order 13688 signed by President Barack Obama
requires Law Enforcement Agencies obtain pre -approval from the Department of Justice
when using funds from the Equitable Sharing Asset Forfeiture Account when purchasing
equipment on the Controlled Equipment List. This request requires approval for the
purchase from the local governing body.
The Police Department's share in the cost of this vehicle is $155,424.24 and will be
funded from Equitable Sharing Asset Forfeiture funds The Fire and Rescue Department
will use State of Virginia Department of Fire Programs funding for its share of the cost,
which also equals $155,424.24. These funds are available in the budget for equipment
purchases and have already been appropriated. An appropriation action by the Board is
not required.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of the vehicle is $310,848.48, which would be split evenly between the
Roanoke County Police Department and the Roanoke County Fire and Rescue
Department. Ongoing costs for vehicle maintenance and cellular service are estimated
at approximately $2,500 per year, which will be split between the Police and Fire and
Rescue Departments.
It should be noted that all $310,848.48 to be used for this vehicle procurement are taken
from Federal or State sources, therefore no local tax dollars will be used in this capital
purchase.
ALTERNATIVES:
Approve to use funds from the Equitable Sharing Asset Forfeiture Account and
Department of Fire Programs.
2. Do not approve the purchase.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Recommends Alternative 1.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The Foundation for Roanoke Valley has served the Roanoke Valley and much of
southwest Virginia for more than twenty-five (25) years and currently administers and
makes grants from over three hundred (300) named endowment funds on behalf of the
community. One of those funds is the Jacqueline S. (Jackie) and Shelborn L. (S.L.)
Spangler Fund. The Spangler Fund is designed to make grants that benefit the
communities in the Rt. 221 corridor from Cotton Hill Road up Bent Mountain to Check in
Floyd County.
Last fiscal year Foundation for Roanoke Valley awarded grant funds in the amount of
$15,850 to Roanoke County Fire and Rescue from the Spangler Fund. The funds are
intended for the purchase of equipment for the Bent Mountain fire station. The original
amount requested for the grant was $17,000. The Foundation only had $15,850 funds
available at the time of the request. Since that time, the Foundation has received
additional funding and therefore they have awarded funds in the amount of $1,150 to
complete the grant request. The same grant requirements apply.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The Spangler Fund will cover one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of the new fire and
rescue equipment consisting of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) manikins and an
automated external defibrillator AED for the Bent Mountain Station and no additional
County funds will be needed.
Ordinance #052615-3 appropriated grant funds for grants that are routine and usual in
nature for the 2015-16 fiscal year. Funds in the amount of $1,150 will need to be allocated
from the grant account to the Bent Mountain Equipment grant fund already established
486003-5850.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Accept and allocate grant funds in the amount of $1,150 from Foundation for Roanoke
Valley to the Fire and Rescue Department for the purchase of equipment for the Bent
Mountain station.
2. Do not accept the grant.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends alternative 1.
VOTE:
Supervisor McNamara moved to accept the additional grant funds in the amount of $1,150.
Motion approved.
