BRIEFINGS
1., Briefina on Roanoke County Water Svstem. (Gary Robertson.
Utilitv Director)
The briefing was presented by Gary Robertson. He reported that production
from Spring Hollow increased over the July 4 weekend from 4.4 million gallons/day (mgd)
to 5.7 mgd due to increased County consumption and providing assistance to the City of
Roanoke. This production could increase another 2 mgd following completion of the Loch
Haven Road water line. The County has not pumped water into the reservoir since April
16, 1999 because of low flow in the river, but based on anticipated water production of up
to 8 mgd, Spring Hollow should have an adequate supply through the end of the year
without pumping any additional water. Mr. Robertson advised that County residents are
not affected by the City of Roanoke's mandatory water conservation measures even if their
homes are served by water from Carvins Cove. Mr. Robertson presented a powerpoint
presentation on the safe yield and seepage of the reservoir. He reported that the reservoir
has a storage volume of 3.2 billion gallons, and a total pumping capacity of 80 mgd. The
water treatment facility has a total production capacity of 15 mgd expandable to 30 mgd.
Mr. Robertson presented seepage figures from 1995 to 1999, with a total seepage in
February 1999 of 0.9 mgd.

A-071399-1
Mr. Robertson explained that the Utility Department Capital Improvement
Program includes $2,470,00 for installation offuture sections ofthe north transmission line
between the years 1999 and 2004. The 1999-2000 budget funded $850,000 of this
amount for the section of line between Dow Hollow Road and RCCRT. In anticipation of
a reduction in Roanoke City contractual water purchases for the year 2003-2004, the CIP
included $370,000 to be funded in 2002-2003 to extend the north transmission line along
Loch Haven Road, across 1-81 to Woodhaven Road. Because of present drought
conditions, it has become necessary to construct this line now to allow Roanoke County
to provide an additional 2 millions gallons per day to the North County and northern
Roanoke City service areas. Mr. Robertson requested that the Board appropriate
$370,000 from the Water Fund Unappropriated Balance to extend the water line.
In response to a question from Supervisor McNamara, Mr. Robertson
advised it would cost less than $1 million to improve the infrastructure at North Lakes.
Supervisor Johnson moved to approve $370,000 appropriation. The motion
carried by the following recorded vote:

Drovide CORTRAN Services. (John Chambliss. Assistant County
Administrator)A-071399-2
Mr. Chambliss reported that CORTRAN riders must be 60 years of age or
be physically or mentally challenged as defined under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The County budgeted $105,200 for 1999/2000 to provide the County share of funding.
'I
There is a $2.50 one-way trip charge to each passenger. The County can fund
approximately 27 one-way trips per day compared to the average usage last year of 34
trips per day. Based on current usage patterns, it would require an additional appropriation
of $38,000 to meet the same usage as last fiscal year. Staff is requesting that the County
Administrator be authorized to execute the contract for 1999/2000 capped at the budget
of $105,200, and directing CORTRAN to cap the usage at 27 trips per day unless the
Board wishes to increase the funding to this program.
In response to questions from the Board members, Mr. Chambliss advised
that all passengers are qualified to use the service; there is little or no abuse of the service;
and that there are 50 vans.
Supervisor Nickens moved to increase fees for one-way trips from $2.50 to
$3.50 on September 1, 1999, and defer other action until determining whether federal and

A.Q71399-3
Mr. Chambliss advised that on January 12, 1999, the Board approved the
current contract to provide impoundment facilities for animals brought in by the Police
Department. The contract is for operations only and does not include any funding for their
capital facilities. The SPCA has advised that it is conducting its own capital campaign at
this time and hopes to be in their new facility in spring of 2000. They do not plan to provide
impoundment in their new facility. Representatives from Roanoke City, Roanoke County,
the Town of Vinton, Botetourt and Craig Counties are meeting to secure other options for
animal impoundment. The City of Salem advised that their site would not support a
regional sized facility and their plan was to expand their facility to meet their needs. Staff
will continue to work with the other localities. At this time, staff is requesting authorization
to execute a new contract with the SPCA at the rate of $8.75 per day retroactive to July 1,
1999, with the new provision of $4.00 per animal for the fkst day of impoundment.
Supervisor Johnson moved to authorize execution of the contract. The

Director)
School board chair Marion Roark and School Board members William Irvin,
Jerry Canada, Thomas Leggette and Michael Stovall, and School Superintendent Dr.
Deanna Gordon were present for the work session.
Dr. Gordon responded to questions that were included in the Board Report
as follows: (1 and 3) Status of Glenvar Middle School: The staff received the value
engineering report ten days ago, and the School Board will receive bid recommendations
from the Construction Committee. As it is presently designed, the cost will be $7,966,953
which does not include furniture and technology. (2) Status of South County High School:
The School Board would like to move as fast as possible and site preparation should begin
in early spring of 2000. (4) Anticipated cost of the South County School: $25,347,000 in
construction and site work; $5.7 over the "bricks and mortar" including the auditorium.
These costs do not include the road improvements. (5) The School Board has no plans
to downsize Cave Spring Middle School construction.
Diane Hyatt reviewed costs and funding for all three phases of the school
construction projects. Supervisor Johnson pointed out that the Board of Supervisors
originally committed to appropriate $47.7 million to Phase I and it appears that the total will

now be $58 million.
Supervisor McNamara suggested that the Board determine what it can afford
to invest in the schools and ask a sub-committee from the Blue Ribbon Committee to
reprioritize the projects. Dr. Gordon advised that the South County High School will be
bid in approximately nine months. Supervisor Johnson suggested going forward with both
Glenvar and South County high school at the same time to assure that there will be
adequate funds for both projects. Supervisor Johnson advised that the Board can decide
what their resources are after the bids for both projects are complete. Supervisor
McNamara pointed out that they also needed to begin developing the Phase II projects.
Mr. Hodge and Dr. Gordon were directed to review the plans and costs for the Glenvar
Middle School and the South County high school projects and report back.
