FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed FY2017/2018 Operating Budget request is $420,857.
Roanoke County is the fiscal agent for Roanoke Valley Television, and RVTV positions are included in the
Resources Department researched salary data on a regional basis to benchmark RVTV positions. Additionally,
Internal job duties were compared to other County jobs. Job descriptions have been revised to include new
technology and more accurately describe how RVTV serves several entities. It is the recommendation of the
Roanoke County Human Resources Department that all RVTV job positions increase three grades.
The budget includes closed captioning services for Roanoke City Council & Roanoke County Board of
Supervisors meetings.
On January 1, 2007, the Virginia Communications Sales and Use Tax Act of 2006 (Va. Code 58.1-645 et seq.)
required Cox Communications, as well as other cable television providers, to pay a five percent (5%) sales or
use tax to the Commonwealth of Virginia in place of paying franchise fees to the localities, including the City of
Roanoke, County of Roanoke, and Town of Vinton. Under the Act, the Commonwealth pays the amount of
revenues it receives from cable television providers, like Cox, to the localities.
The operational budget for RVTV is provided by the three local governments, and it is funded through the
Virginia Communications Sales and Use Tax Revenue paid by Cox Communications. The RVTV budget
amount paid by each locality is based on the percentage of Cox Customers located in each jurisdiction.
Cox calculates the percentage of Subscribers (December 31, 2016) in each locality as follows:
Locality 2015 Percentage 2016 Percentage
City 52.17% 52%
County 43.61% 44%
Vinton 4.22% 4%
Based on the above percentages, each m to the FY2017/2018 budget of $420,857
is:
Locality 2016/2017 Budget 2017/2018 Budget
City $209,225 $218,846
County $174,895 $185,177
Vinton $16,924 $16,834
Total $401,044 $420,857
share of the above budget of $420,857, the City will also pay $2,136 for closed
captioning for City Council Briefings.

C817-9601 (Operating Budget) ...........................................................$238,445.28
C817-9603 (Cox Cable Capital Equipment Grant) ...............................$981,915.05
