Local Bonds (the "County's Refunded Local Bonds"); and
WHEREAS, VPSA has notified the County that the County will receive its
allocable share of the savings achieved over the remaining amortization period of the

ORDINANCE 072517-4 AUTHORIZING THE BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY TO ENTER INTO AND
EXECUTE A REVISION OF THE EXTRATERRITORIAL ARREST
POWERS AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF ROANOKE, THE CITY OF
SALEM AND THE TOWN OF VINTON
WHEREAS, in October of 1985 the County of Roanoke and the City of Roanoke
entered into an extraterritorial agreement which granted arrest powers to the County
Sheriff's deputies and the City's police officers for certain traffic related offenses; and
WHEREAS, in April of 1991 an amended extraterritorial agreement was executed
by the County and the City to reflect the establishment of the Roanoke County Police
Department and certain technical amendments to the Virginia Motor Vehicle Code; and
WHEREAS, in April of 2013 an amended extraterritorial agreement was executed
by the County of Roanoke, the City of Roanoke, the City of Salem and the Town of
Vinton expanding the arrest powers of officers in those jurisdictions to any violation of
state law and to extend that authority to off-duty officers, except those engaging in off-
duty secondary police related employment outside their normal jurisdictions, as a
concrete example of governmental cooperation; and
WHEREAS, in April 2013 the police departments in the Roanoke Valley were

longer being used as all of the participating agencies are participating in the State-wide
LINX system. Since that time, the regional information sharing system used by the
Page 1 of 3
police departments has changed. As a result, the requirement for notifications is no
longer needed. The requested revision of the agreement will delete Section 3
"Notifications." All other provisions of the existing agreement will remain the same; and

governing bodies of localities may enter in and become a party to contracts or mutual
