h Communication to the Mavor of the ci tv of Roanoke
reqardinq suqqested modifications to the Consolidation Aqreement.
A-31390-3
Chairman Robers presented the report, explaining that
he felt there were changes that could be made to the agreement
that would result in an improved agreement, and that changes
could be made if both the governing bodies of Roanoke City and
Roanoke County agreed. The suggested changes were:
(1) Include an equal amount of members from both the
current City and County on the RMG School Board with the
provision of a Court appointed tie breaker.
(2) Modify the service district concept to revise
district boundaries based upon function needs and availability of
public utilities, establish guidelines for the creation of such
districts, provide for a citizen petition process, revise the tax
rate differential, adjust the pro-forma budgets, and amend the
election district boundaries crossing the old City-County
boundaries and including a mix of urban and rural interests.
(3) citizens in west Roanoke County (Catawba
Magisterial District and expansion by the City of Salem), and in
east Roanoke County (expansion by the Town of Vinton), should
have a vote to decide their future and their form of government.
This would allow a subsequent referendum for the residents in
west Roanoke County and east Roanoke County if consolidation is
approved.
1'6 7 .~
March 13, 1990
Supervisor Johnson questioned the reopening of the
negotiations and also questioned the legality of #1 because of
the larger population in Roanoke city. He also advised that the
service districts were advantageous to the County because of the
lower tax rate for the level of services. He advised that issue
#3 was lost through the negotiating process.
Supervisor McGraw stated that these modifications could
change the way people in Roanoke County felt about consolidation,
was a positive effort to try to get the plan passed.
Supervisor Eddy felt that the present plan had some
serious flaws and could be made more appealing to the voters. He
advised he was most concerned about using the old city and old
county boundaries lines as service and election districts and
felt they should be changed.
Supervisor Johnson pointed out that the service
districts were established by the Fifth Planning District
Commission to eliminate any politicizing of the issue.
Supervisor McGraw moved to that the proposed letter be
sent to Mayor Taylor requesting modifications to the proposed
consolidation agreement. The motion carried by the following
recorded vote:
AYES: Supervisors Eddy, McGraw, Robers
NAYS: Johnson, Nickens (was absent for the vote but later
requested that .his vote be recorded as NAY)
Supervisor Johnson asked that the vote be reflected in
the letter to Mayor Taylor.

an effort to circumvent the Commission on Local Government for
their review.
Supervisor Johnson replied that there was no
effort to circumvent the COLG but this step was not necessary.

Attorney and he reviewed the state code provisions and felt that
it was not necessary to submit the plan to the Commission on
Local Government, however the Board could request a review from
the Commission if it wished. Supervisor Johnson advised that the
negotiators did meet with the Commission on Local Government. He
felt it was important to put the plan to the voters in 1990.

and input. The motion carried by the following recorded vote:
