2018-2019 mid-year revenues and expenditures (Laurie Gearhart,
Acting Director of Finance; Christopher R. Bever, Director,
Management and Budget)
January 22, 2019
31
Mr. O’Donnell outlined the agenda item and turned over to Laurie
Gearheart and Christopher Bever.
Supervisor North commented people have more money to spend and they
are spending it, just exactly what the tax cuts was meant to do.
Supervisor Peters asked when staff receives the next set of numbers,
what months will that cover. Mr. Bever responded February for December; it always
lags two months.
Supervisor North commented that we have cheaper meals tax in the
County than does the City. So, that really does not seem to give us an upside. It begs
another point, if people are spending more money on goods and services, they are not
eating out, but going home to eat.
Supervisor Peters asked if these were projections for the year, with Mr.
Bever responding in the affirmative. Supervisor Peters inquired that even with the
SAFER grant, we were at $500,000 in overtime. Chief Simon commented they were at
$1.5 million. Supervisor Peters stated it decreased to $500,000 and now it has
decreased further. So, we accomplished what we were after with Mr. Bever responding
in the affirmative.
Supervisor North stated that he should take all of his paper and put it in
the trash can and go to the landfill instead of recycling.
Mr. O’Donnell advised that the wetter it is the higher the cost.
Supervisor Hooker stated it is the weight of the trash and not necessarily
the recycling. Mr. Bever responded recycling is significant. Rob Light, Director of
General Services advised that the price per ton had increased significantly.
Supervisor North asked when the next BFAC meeting is scheduled with
Mr. Bever responding Thursday, January 24, 2019. Are they having any input with Mr.
Bever advising they have great suggestions, which are incorporated, for example
CORTRAN and have talked to them about looking at the outside agency discretionary.
Supervisor North stated he felt that was a good use of their time. He had heard from
several members that they like getting engaged if there is an opportunity. Are there any
vacancies? Mr. Bever responded four (4), total is eleven (11) including himself, so ten
citizen members, five from each district. We need to get some people on there. Mr.
Bever responded Cave Spring and Vinton and two (2) at-large are the openings.
Mr. O’Donnell thanked the budget staff on a great job. He then referenced
the less than two percent (2%) revenue increase over the years, which is less than
inflation. We have a lot of fixed costs, which we have no control over, an economy with
less than three percent (3%) unemployment. So we are trying to deliver the same
amount of services with increasing fixed costs and you will see in his budget something
about compensation because we have hard-working staff and we have not talked about
health insurance yet. Although, he thinks we are in a really good position this year. He
is not real confident about next year’s budget based on preliminary numbers and
wanted the Board to be aware.
January 22, 2019
32
Supervisor Assaid inquired which fiscal year was Mr. O’Donnell referring
to as a challenge. Mr. O’Donnell stated fiscal 2019-2020.
Supervisor North commented that people in the community always ask
about economic development growth. Economic Development is so broad, but in
Supervisor Hooker’s resolution, there were a lot of good things that happened. He
stated that we need a press release every January the great successes we had the year
before in a press release under the guise of Economic Development. He feels there are
a lot of people that does not understand what we are doing.
Supervisor Radford inquired about landlines and cable; do we get
anything off VOIP lines. Mr. Bever advised he would check and advise.
The work session was held from 4:36 p.m. until 5:13 p.m.
IN RE: CERTIFICATION RESOLUTION
At 7:01 p.m., Supervisor North moved to return to open session and adopt
the certification resolution.
RESOLUTION 012219-4 CERTIFYING THE CLOSED MEETING

IN RE: REPORTS AND INQUIRIES OF BOARD MEMBERS
Supervisor Radford stated he had visited Bent Mountain Community
Center this past Saturday and had a nice spaghetti dinner and got to know them in the
Civic League. He is going back in February for a breakfast. He is just getting out in the
district.
Supervisor Hooker wanted to let everyone know and it has been batted
around in social media and the new. She thanked Ross Copperman, a 2001 graduate
of Glenvar High School and is very well known in Nashville and is a Grammy nominated
song writer. He has given back to our community in a big way with donating a sound
room with equipment and just a fabulous opportunity for our students. He has been
very significant in helping us land the equipment and furnish that room along with Steve
Franco, a teacher at Glenvar High School who helped write the grant for $10,000 that
we received from the American Academy of Country Music. This is really good news for
our community as a whole, especially Glenvar in particular. She also thanked staff in
particular our staff that has been presenting our budget updates and getting us in line
for our new budget year and the hard work they have put in and also to Mr. O’Donnell,

Supervisor North stated he had some Economic Development news.
Roanoke County is sponsoring the following programs for local businesses. The
“Gauntlet Business Program and Competition.” The purpose of the “Gauntlet” is to

financing. This workshop will be held this Friday, January 25, 2019, form 9:00 a.m. until
noon at the South County Library. The Star Tank Pitch Contest, a regional
entrepreneur Summit was held on January 16 and 17, 2019, at the Hotel Roanoke. The
purpose of the summit that was held at Hotel Roanoke was to engage local leaders,
businesses and entrepreneurs to further support business growth, entrepreneurship and
innovation in the region. If businesses would like to learn more about these programs,
they can contact Roanoke County Economic Development at 540-772-2070. He
thanked all that attended the Hollins District January 10, 2019 community meeting held
at the Hollins Library. It was a cold evening and we had about 25 people come out to
meet Chief Hall, learn about security and safety in the Hollins area. Also, to have our
new County Administrator, Mr. O'Donnell, speak to them. We all had a good time in
terms of exchanging questions and dialog about the Hollins area and he provided a brief
update. He hopes to have another session in the future. It was very well received and
several people who could not make it followed up for a briefing by email and or phone.
He attended the Innovation Counsel that he just spoke about, which was sponsored by
the Roanoke Regional Commission on January 15, 2019. Several points worth noting
from that evenings talk was that jobs come to where the talent is and not the other way
around and that talent is the currency of innovation and is very important. That being
said, the support of any workforce development is critically important to our future
success and growth in Roanoke County and the region to make us more attractive
because jobs will look to come to where the talent is. The connection of our local and
surrounding colleges and universities with local businesses is also the life line for
keeping and retaining those in K-12 youth in this area after they go away and learn at a
higher institution and/or seek out education through our local colleges to return to live,
work and play. He personally supports that effort last week with the Innovation Counsel
and applaud any and all efforts that develops energy in the direction of workforce
development.
