BACKGROUND:
Technology Trust Funds, representing fees collected by the Roanoke County Circuit
Court Clerk's Office, have been received from the State in the amount of $7,105. In

further states that four dollars of every five dollar fee shall be allocated by the
Compensation Board from the trust fund for the purposes of: obtaining and updating
office automation and information technology equipment including software and
conversion services; preserving, maintaining and enhancing court records, including,

service contracts, redaction of social security numbers from land records and system
replacement or upgrades and improving public access to court records

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2016
AGENDA ITEM: Request to accept and allocate grant funds in the amount of
$3,000 from the Virginia Department of Game and Inland
Fisheries (DGIF) to retrofit current trash containers to make
them bear resistant
SUBMITTED BY:
Rob Light
Acting Director of General Services
APPROVED BY: Thomas C. Gates
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Acceptance and allocation of a $3,000 grant from Virginia Department of Game and
Inland Fisheries (DGIF) to retrofit current County solid waste containers to make them
bear resistant.
BACKGROUND:
Citizens in certain areas of Roanoke County commonly report issues of bears accessing
solid waste cans, creating litter on property and roadsides, and damaging the household
solid waste cart. As is to be expected, the issue is most prevalent in areas which
adjoin extensive undeveloped woodlands. An existing program to provide residents with
bear resistant containers has proven to be highly successful in deterring bear access to
the solid waste cans.
DISCUSSION:
Grant funding provided by the DGIF will permit the County's Department of General
Services to purchase a supply of parts used to retrofit trash containers making them
bear -resistant. Retrofitting of existing containers is significantly more cost efficient than
purchase of specialized bear -resistant solid waste carts, thereby reducing expense for
both the County government and citizens who request bear -resistant cans.
Page 1 of 2
FISCAL IMPACT:
Awarded grant funds total $3,000. No County match is required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
