IN RE: REPORTS AND INQUIRIES OF BOARD MEMBERS
Supervisor North thanked the City of Roanoke for approving the fire
station; huge regional example. Also, he thanked Roanoke County staff and the team
that worked to bring this to fruition; words cannot thank you on behalf of the citizens of
that area on both sides of Rt. 460. He understands the anticipated opening is in 2024,
we hope, assuming we can accomplish all the tasks. This is the halfway point and now
you have to work the plan. Last Tuesday, he attended the local legislative wrap up, or
more likely labeled, legislative update, as the work is not completed so therefore, it is
not a total wrap-up. Local legislators mentioned several hopeful items among Catawba
Hospital and the Transportation Museum were mentioned for local funding. Other
topics shared with us were the proposed gas tax reduction for several months, State
transportation funding surplus, grocery tax and how 37 of 50 states in the United States
April 26, 2022
593
have no grocery tax, airport funding and cryptocurrency, which he does not know how
that has to do with Roanoke County. In the end there is no State budget and there has
not been one anticipated at the veto session tomorrow in Richmond. Next month, on
May 18, 2022, from 4-6 p.m., at Bonsack Elementary, Supervisor Peters and he invite
the public to come to the open house on the Rt. 460 Bonsack Community to discuss
changes in that corridor as well as transportation proposals. He encourages all to
attend and learn what the input was from last fall’s meeting. There are some interesting
concepts that he has learned from staff. Lastly, he is proud to serve the citizens of the
Hollins district and all of Roanoke County with the Board of Supervisors and colleagues
to provide personal property tax reduction and relief that this Board approved
unanimously at our last meeting. He thinks this is a huge step in the headwinds of
inflation that are upon us and our taxpayers will be relieved when they get their bills that
they aren’t as high as they could have been; congratulations Board.
Supervisor Radford stated last week, he attended two (2) Roanoke County
Plan summary meetings. One at Bent Mountain that was heavily attended by the
citizens and thank you to coming and voicing their thoughts on how they would like to
see that plan unfold in their area. We followed up the next night at Oak Grove
Elementary. It was well represented by the staff at both meetings and we did get some
comments back from the Oak Grove citizens; they are appreciative that we are going to
take the Oak Grove Park behind Oak Grove Elementary and improve it with funds that
were approved for the park. They are really enthused and excited about making that
park something again; something they can use and share.
Supervisor Peters stated it is good to be back, even though he was not at
the last meeting, he fully supports the reduction in the personal property taxes. He is
glad we were able to come up with that solution for our citizens because it was sticker
shock and he can say personally; his wife bought a car last year that they tell me is
worth $8,000 more than what it was valued at last year; another $362 for that one
vehicle. He was glad we were able to make those adjustments. He is also glad the
State allowed us to make those adjustments because when he brought it up he was not
sure we would be allowed to do that. He is glad we were able to and glad it was
passed. He wasn’t here last meeting, but he would have been part of that unanimous
vote.
Supervisor Hooker stated she also attended in the last couple of weeks a
200 Plan summary meeting and it was well attended and appreciated the input from our
citizens. She expressed her appreciation, again, to our staff for all the incredible work,
tirelessly, working to find a solution to how best handle this unexpected increase and
how to get it back to the citizens. She does not think enough can be said for how much
they worked to make it happen. We are so appreciative and it looks good on us, but we
just passed the vote, but they did the heavy lifting ahead of time. She is very
appreciative of that.
Supervisor Mahoney advised on April 15, 2022, he was truly honored to
attend the Police awards luncheon. Mr. Caywood, Mr. Blount, Ms. Owens were also in
April 26, 2022
594
attendance. It is truly inspiring to listen to the stories of our Police officers and the
things they have done that often times does not make the news media. The only time it
makes the news media, if an officer makes a mistake. He thinks what Chief Hall has
done in recognizing our officers for the good things they accomplish for our citizens. It
was a very wonderful event and it was a good lunch, too. As Supervisor North
indicated, several of us attended the Roanoke City Counsel meeting when they
approved our land use request for the fire station and we thanked the Mayor and City
Counsel for that. There is a lot of work to go forward, but we are on a path that
hopefully will have that station up and running in a year or so and we will be in good
shape to protect the citizens in that part of the County. He also attended the legislative
wrap-up with Supervisor North, very frustrating, he thinks we are all stuck in a holding
pattern until the General Assembly fulfills its duties and responsibilities. Finally, he
attended a Go 200 Meeting at Cave Spring Elementary. He is a little jealous, because
everybody is talking about what great turnout they have had, but he thinks there were
three (3) citizens; it was sparsely attended. He just hopes our citizens understand what
we are trying to accomplish with that initiative.
Chairman Mahoney recessed to the fourth floor at 4:00 p.m. for work
