IN RE:
WORK SESSION ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A WATER SUPPLY IN
WESTERN ROANOKE COUNTY
Mr. Hodge, County Administrator, reported that this
I
work session would be for informational purposes only and that
action would be taken during the regular board meeting. He also
reported that this is an issue that must be addressed now because
of the long lead time involved in implementing the program
adopted by the Board. The cities of Roanoke and Salem have
expressed their support to Mr. Hodge. Mr. Randy Smith of the
City of Salem and representatives from Hayes, Seay, Mattern &
Mattern were present.
John Hubbard, Assistant County Administrator of Public
Facilities, reported that an additional water supply to
supplement Carvins Cove and the Roanoke River is needed as soon
I
as possible since Carvins Cove has dropped 18 feet and the flow
of the Roanoke River is the lowest it has been in 30 years. The
County has also lost wells to petroleum contamination, has lost
production in wells that total almost 1 million gallons per day
which is a great loss since the County generally pumps only 3 to
4 million per day from those wells. A new water supply is
necessary to eliminate some of these unstable supplies and
provide an opportunity to regionalize distribution systems. Mr.
Hubbard and his staff have studied four alternatives to the water
problems: 1) A Roanoke River/Carvins Cove Interconnection; 2)
A dam and reservoir on Back Creek; 3) Drawing water from Smith
Mountain Lake and pumping it back up; and 4) West County
Reservoir placed at Spring Hollow where there is approximately
I
Reservoir. The best option appears to be the West County
650 acres of drainage area. There are no family residences in
this area. There is one mobile home that is vacant and the
owners have agreed to move the mobile home off of this site.
Appalachian Power Company has a substation near the site but

should not have to move any power lines. There is also a natura
gas line that will have to be relocated but this has been settle
I
with the appropriate authorities. Mr. Hubbard reported that the
County already has options on most of the property in that area
and approval to exercise three of those options.
Mr. Jim Strickland and Mr. John Bradshaw of Hayes,
Seay, Mattern, and Mattern were present to background the Board
on their study of the site.
Mr. Bradshaw presented a draft document with the soil
appendix. He also presented a hydrograph showing water flow
compared to water needs. He reported that the water treatment
plant will draw water from the river and only during extremely
dry periods, will it draw from the reservoir. Mr. Bradshaw also
reported that from their studies this reservoir is a viable
project, it is engineeringly sound, and it is to the economic
I
benefit of the County and the Valley. He also recommended the
use of a side-stream reservoir and a rock-fill dam.
Mr. Hodge recommended the phase approach of which the
first phase will pump 18 million gallons of water per day which
will serve the water needs for approximately the next 20 years.
He reported that the exact design will take place after voter
approval and determination of participation of the cities of
Roanoke and Salem. If approved, specific design may begin in
early spring.
IN RE:
REQUESTS TO POSTPONE, ADD, OR CHANGE THE ORDER OF
AGENDA ITEMS

that the City of Salem did approve the proposed contract at thei
meeting on June 23, 1986. This contract provides that $1,900
would be paid per call anytime the City of Salem answers a call
in the County of Roanoke and any time that the County answers a
call in the City of Salem. There are currently funds in the
budget to offset any costs incurred, but this fee should be
cancelled out because of the calls answered by the City of Salem
for Roanoke County and the calls answered by the County of
Roanoke for the City of Salem.
Mr. Mahoney reported that the contract should be
amended on the second page, paragraph 5, line 3 "requiring fire
suppression apparatus" after the word "call". This is intended
to limit reimbursement to those situations or fire incidents
where fire suppression equipment is used.
Supervisor McGraw moved to approve staff's
recommendation. The motion was seconded by Supervisor Garrett
and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
2. Adoption of the Reorganization of Fire and Rescue
Department - Mr. Hodge reported that he has worked with Tommy
Fuqua and his staff to create the proposed reorganization. He
recognized Larry Wirt, Rescue Squad Captain; Don Gillespie, Head
of the Chiefs Board; Rev. Buck Buchanan, President of Fire and
Rescue #5; and Steve Poff, Captain for their hard work and
dedication on this project. This reorganization would appoint
Tommy Fuqua as Chief of Fire and Rescue. He also reported that
the Rescue Captains gave unanimous support of the reorganization
The volunteer fire departments were also supportive with only on~
abstention due to a technicality.
Supervisor Garrett moved to approve the prepared
resolution providing for the establishment of a fire and rescue
department, the appointment of a Chief, and the authorization to
promulgate regulations to promote fire and rescue safety purpose .
The motion was seconded by Supervisor McGraw.

NAYS: None
Mr. Hodge recognized the Roanoke County Rescue Squads
for receiving an Outstanding Service award from the
Transportation Safety Commission. The award was given for their
efforts during the November, 1985 flood. Mr. Larry wirt
presented the plaque to the Board and requested that it be place
at the Administration Center. It was also reported that the
Roanoke County Fire Departments also received an Outstanding
Service Award from the Transportation Safety Commission.
3. Pro osed Establishment of a Roanoke Count Police
Department - Mr. Hodge reported that funding for the Sheriff's
Department would be from the State Compensation Board and from
the Criminal Justice Board for the Police Department.
Approximately 100 people will be transferred from the Sheriff's
Department to the Police Department. The loss of funding from
the Compensation Board will be offset by the increase funding
from the Department of Criminal Justice. The State Department
Criminal Justice presented an estimate of funding which ranges
from a loss of revenue in the vicinity of $70,000 to a potential
gain of as much as 400,000.00 or 500,000.00. Staff feels very
comfortable that there may be as much of an increase as $100,000
but not $500,000. permission from the School Board has been
granted to use Southview School as a Public Safety Building. T
proposal is to place the newly formed Police Department in
southview School along with the Fire Department, Rescue
Operations, the Communications Center, and Data Processing. If
this proposal is approved by the voters, an Advisory Committee
will be established co-chaired by Mr. Hodge and Sheriff Foster,
chiefs of three localities and others from the State Police will
also be involved with the committee.

greatly from this change.
Supervisor Brittle moved to approve the prepared
resolution. The motion was seconded by Supervisor Johnson.
Supervisor Garrett inquired about the feelings of the
members of the Sheriff's Department concerning this change.
Sheriff Foster reported that he has received nothing but
favorable comments.

4. Approval of the Sesquicentennial Guidelines - Ms.
Bonnie Newlon, Planner, reported that the Sesquicentennial
Committee will be solely responsible for the development of the
celebration, assisted by the County. She presented a list of
guidelines which the committee has established. A copy of these

insurance coverage. This has been modified to indicate that eac~
event will be reviewed so that the County will not be responsible
for all the liability.

Supervisor Brittle moved to approve the guidelines as
I
provided. The motion was seconded by Supervisor Nickens and
carried by a unanimous voice vote.

5. Approval of Year End Budget Appropriation - John
Chambliss reported that this is a final appropriation to have
budgetary authority for some of the expenditures and to
acknowledge certain receipts, grants, and other programs of the
County. He requested that the Board include $43,500 for the
improvements to Pinkard Court School.
Supervisor Nickens moved to concur with staff's
recommendation to approve the appropriation with the addition of
$43,500 for improvements to pinkard Court School. The motion was
seconded by Supervisor Brittle and carried by a unanimous roll
call vote.
6. Authorization to Proceed with a Regional Water
Supply - John Hubbard reported that several solutions to the
I
water problem have been studied by his staff and Spring Hollow is
a suitable site for a water supply and construction of a dam.
One suggestion is the construction of a dam that would be
ultimately sized to meet the projected demands and needs of the
~alley through the year 2040. This would be a 29 million gallon
~er day project which would cost $29.3 million. Another
suggestion would meet the long term demand but would be phased
~ith a smaller dam first and expandable to a larger dam. This
project would cost $24.2 million initially. Another alternative
is a dam suitable for Roanoke County only which would cost
approximately $19.2 million. None of the estimates of the above
suggestions include engineering costs or land acquisitions which
would be an additional $2.4 million. The County's share of the
I
regional project or the regional project expandable is in the
range of $16 million.
John Chambliss reported on financing this project. The
County's share of funding for this project would be approximately
~u

60 percent; the City of Salem at 27%; and Roanoke City at 13%.
Mr. Chambliss warned that these numbers may change and that the
I
estimates are very preliminary because the exact design of the
facility is not yet known. Approximately $15 million would need
to be funded for the construction of the reservoir site and an
additional $1 million for the purchase of certain wells or other
water systems in the County that may be necessary to provide a
totally intergrated system. After studying the existing debt
service in the County, existing bonds, principle and interest, i
appears that the needs of the County can be satisfied with
approximately a 6¢ increase on real estate taxes. As growth
occurs within the County, other revenue sources will be eligibl
for tapping to help pay for this.
Mr. Chambliss suggested short term borrowings for a
I
couple of years to help pay for the engineering and preliminary
work that would need to be done. Once the construction contract
have been received, and the exact cost is known, full issue of
the bonds up to the maximum level would be issued to prevent
overborrowing.
Supervisor Nickens expressed a concern of
underborrowing. He also reported that we continue to express to
citizens that the West County Reservoir will not meet, in itself
all the needs of the Valley, but is only one part of a larger
system.
Mr. Hodge recommended that the Board authorize the $16
million bond isse, and that in the event estimates are greater
than $15 million, we would have to live within our means.
I
Supervisor Johnson moved to approve the prepared
resolution. The motion was seconded by Supervisor McGraw.
Supervisor Garrett requested that a change be made in
the five step recommendation in the report under number 4 from
"60 days" to "90 days".
Supervisors Johnson and McGraw accepted the amendment.

9. Adoption of Health Insurance Contract for 1986/87
- D. Keith Cook, Director of Human Resources presented a request
to renew the Blue Cross/Blue Shield contract. There are changes
in the renewal to alleviate higher payments. The deletion of the
second surgical opinion and the addition of a preadmission review
and an increased deductible from $100 for employee only
subscriber and $200 for family subscriber to $200 for employee
only and $400 for family subscriber. He also recommended
revision of the premium structure effective August 1. In this
renewal the employee only would be changed from $44.44 to $48.00
and employee family from $115.42 to $124.66. The suggested Blue
Cross/Blue Shield rates to fund this have been $72.94 for
employee only and family $189.71. The County pays $42.00 toward
the current rates and monies are included in the budget to
continue this level of funding. The difference in the proposed
rates and suggested Blue Cross rates being funded will be funded
from income that we receive from interest in the plan over two
years. Stuart Wade and Linda Ruffman from Blue Cross/Blue Shield
and Sandy Bremner, consultant with Industrial Insurance
Management Corporation, were present to answer any questions..
He reported that staff recommends that this contract be renewed
and that the Board authorize the County Administrator to execute
the necessary documents.
Supervisor Nickens moved to concur with staff's
recommendation and if necessary, a resolution be spread in the
minutes. The motion was seconded by Supervisor Garrett and
carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
10. Renewal of County's General Insurance Policies -

the cost efficiency to the County. Five proposals were received
for various portions of the County's insurance program and have
been evaluated with the County's insurance consultant. He
I
recommended that the property coverage have an increased
deductible of $50,000 and several existing types of coverage be
placed with Channey, Thomas, Stephenson, & Hill. Mr. Chambliss
requested that the computer coverage be awarded to Charles
Lunsford Sons & Associates of Roanoke, that the fire equipment
and rescue equipment coverage be provided by Chesterfield
Insurers Incorporated and that the general liability and fleet
insurance, for liability coverage only, be provided through
Alexander & Alexander through participation in the VML's new
pooled insurance program. There is also a requirement to
contribute 40% of the liability insurance stated rates as a
contribution premium. These rates are those that are issued by
I
the insurance services office or better known as book rates and
it is anticipated that most or all of this additional
contribution will be reimbursable to the County at some later
date. However, at this particular time, because the pool is now
being organized and they have not as yet met all of their premium
requirements, it is not definite that this premium will be
reimbursable to the County. He recommended that the physical
damage coverage to the County's own fleet be self-insured. Mr.
Sam Rosenthall, from Industrial Insurance Management, the
insurance consultant to the County, was present to answer any
questions the Board might have.
Supervisor Garrett moved to approve staff's
I
recommendation. The motion was seconded by Supervisor Brittle.
Supervisor Johnson requested that insurance liability
needs be placed on the legislative packet.
Mr. Mahoney requested that the Board amend the prepared
resolution which authorizes Roanoke County to join the VML pool
