E-1 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: January 10, 2017 AGENDA ITEM: Request to approve an extension of a contract among the Counties of Franklin, Henry and Roanoke and the Cities of Martinsville and Roanoke and the Interstate 73 Coalition, LLC for pursuit of construction of Interstate 73 in the Commonwealth of Virginia SUBMITTED BY: APPROVED BY: ISSUE: Thomas Gates County Administrator Thomas C. Gates County Administrator Authorization to continue Roanoke County's participation as a partner in the Interstate 73 Coalition, LLC, and provide a 12 month extension of a contract for services. BACKGROUND: On June 1, 2015, Roanoke County jointly entered into a contract with the Counties of Franklin and Henry and the Cities of Martinsville and Roanoke to advocate for funding in support of construction of Interstate 73 in Virginia. The agreement among the participating jurisdictions established the Interstate 73 Coalition LLC, and included the hiring of a consultant to lobby for Federal and State legislative support for the 1-73 project. Contract terms stipulated the agreement would expire on December 31, 2016, if not otherwise renewed by those governing bodies party to the agreement. DISCUSSION: While some progress has been made in identifying potential sources of funding for 1-73 construction, considerable work remains to ensure this regional economic development effort receives funding consideration at both the State and Federal level. The prospect of new federal investment in the nation's infrastructure in particular suggests continued efforts to advocate for this project are prudent. Page 1 of 2 To date, the City of Martinsville, City of Roanoke, and Henry County have authorized their continued participation in the 1-73 Coalition and endorsed a 12 month extension of the contract. Franklin County is expected to consider a similar contract extension on January 17, 2016. A project briefing by John Stirrup, Partner, Alcalde & Fay will be provided to the Board of Supervisors prior to consideration of this action. FISCAL IMPACT: Roanoke County's proportional contribution to the 1-73 coalition is $24,000 for the term of the proposed contract extension. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the contract extension and the County's continued participation in the 1-73 Coalition. VOTE: Supervisor Assaid moved to approve an extension of a contract among the Counties of Franklin, Henry and Roanoke and the Cities of Martinsville and Roanoke and the Interstate 73 Coalition and Supervisor Peters seconded the motion.
