'urisdictions by the State Department of Taxation and has no

government and the taxpayer. It also provides stabilized tax
rates and more quality assessments. It will stabilize budgetary
procedures, revenues, and cushion the impact on the taxpayer of
possible tax increases spread over a period of time rather than
at once.
Supervisor McGraw inquired if an annual Board of
Equalization will be allowed. Mr. Willey reported that there
would be no problem with that since the County has an option to
have either a permanent or a temporary Board. Mr. McGraw also
inquired about Use Value Taxation. Mr. Willey responded that hi
staff is now able to classify all the property that is in the
Land Use Program and that the County has returned to soil
classification levels of assessments through SLEAC.
Supervisor Nickens inquired about the correlation
between the assessed value and the market value today in Roanoke
County for residential and commercial/business/industrial. Mr.
Willey responded that Virginia has two mandates in relation to
assessments: primary mandate being fair market value, which is
accepted as being market value of the property as extinguished b
willing buyer and willing seller on the open market. The second
mandate, which is preferred by Courts throughout Virginia and th
Country is Uniformity in level of assessment. Annual assessment
will cope with Uniformity between levels of assessment.
Supervisor Garrett inquired about the impact of this
program on Mr. Willey's department. Mr. Willey reported that hi
department is currently running at a minimal acceptable level.
He felt that the current personnel and the new personnel added
will be sufficient to carry the workload.
Ms. Helenmary Topper, 339 Polly Circle, Salem,
Virginia, 24l53, reported to the Board that she was concerned
about the annual reassessment program. She reported that she
felt that the County was only seeking more money too quick
instead of trying to benefit the taxpayer. She also felt that
88
August 26, 1986
the decision to go with the annual assessment program was decided
before the public hearing.
Chairman Brittle reported that the public hearing is
held for citizens input and that the referendum is also being
held for the citizens to give their input on the proposed County
police department and water referendum.
Supervisor Nickens moved for a second reading and that
the Board concur with staff's recommendation for the annual
assessment. The motion was seconded by Supervisor Brittle.
Mr. Mahoney reported that the second reading must be
held before a motion can be made.
Supervisor Nickens withdrew his motion.
(886-2) Adoption of the Roanoke County Capital Improvement
Plan - Mr. Rob Stalzer, Director of Planning, Zoning,
and Grants, reported that in 1984 the Board requested the staff
and the Planning Commission to complete the Roanoke County
Comprehensive Development plan by June 30, 1985. An important
component of the Plan is the Capital Improvement Program. The
CIP is based on a five year time period, the 1986 fiscal year
through the 1991 fiscal year. It is intended that the CIP will
be amended and incorporated in an annual capital budget. In this
Program, staff has identified 119 new capital projects but in the
future, this number may increase or decrease depending upon the
needs of the County. Mr. Stalzer recommended that the Board
adopt or develop revenue and alternate funding strategies for
consideration for future CIP and capital project funding.
Mr. Wayland Winstead of the Planning Commission
reported to the Board that the process of identifying capital
projects needs to be a routine process for Roanoke County that is
continually updated over a period of time. For an organization
of this size, it is not unusual to have $90 million worth of
capital needs. He also reported that a revenue stream and
strategy must be developed that will help the County obtain the

capital improvements in the various sectors identified in the CIP
Chairman Brittle noted that each member of the Board
has been briefed on the CIP.
Supervisor Johnson expressed his appreciation to the
Planning Commission and staff for their efforts and hard work
expended on preparing this document.
Supervisor Garrett noted that this is a planning
document and does not imply that the County is going to spend
$92.5 million on capital projrcts and that the Plan is subject to
revision.
Supervisor Garrett moved to approve the adoption of the
staff recommendation of the Capital Improvement Plan. The motion
was seconded by Supervisor McGraw. The motion carried by a
