IN RE:
JOINT SESSION WITH ROANOKE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD
School Superintendent, Bayes Wilson, handed out a
letter that the School Board has sent to the Honorable C. Richard
Cranwell requesting consideration for the following legislative
concerns:
a. Request that consideration be given to a higher
level of state funding than has been approved for the second year
of the biennium, 1985-86.
b. Request that the Literary funds not be diverted for
I
any other use and, that HB 284 be opposed since the school
construction program in Roanoke County is contingent on Literary
funds.
c. Request that SJR 28 which places a limit on state
expenditures be opposed. It is the feeling of the School Board
-

I
that this type of legislation would unduly restrict the funding
of education and other needs.
d. Request that consideration be given to improving
the Virginia Supplemental Retirement System.
without a cap should be considered for those
"old" system (contributing prior to 1980).
should be given to permitting the purchase of a certain amount of
military serfice at five percent instead of fifteen percent.
This would remove the inconsistency that now exists permitting
such purchase of military service at five percent if the employee
was a member of VSRS prior to military service, but fifteen
percent if the employee was a member of VSRS after military
service.
The Rule of 90
employees in the

I
e. Request that consideration be given to some funding
from the state for elementary guidance counselors since the
Standards of Quality encourage elementary counselors, but the
state currently provides no funding.
f. Request that the state adequately fund its portion
of the expense of the Governor's School for Math and Science
proposed for the Roanoke area. The participation of the Roanoke
County School Board in this project is contingent upon the state
funding.
Supervisor Burton asked about the location of the
Governor's School. Mr. Wilson reported that the State has
requested that it be in Roanoke City since that would be a
central location. It is expected to be held at Patrick Henry or
William Fleming. The state has only funded "planning money" for
I
this year. There has been a request of $200,000 plus funds for
operational funds in addition to the request of the City of
Roanoke for Literary funds for an additional wing to house
equipment.
Mr. Homer Duff, reported on the Cave Spring High School
Project. He reported that Buford Lumsden has requested an

Virginia, concerning the Virginia Public School Authority funding

committee be formed (like the data processing committee) to meet
once a month with a member of the Board of Supervisors, the
School Board, Mr. Flanders, Mr. Bayes Wilson, Mr. Homer Duff, and
Mr. John Chambliss for review of the operation. Mr. Pollard
reported that the vehicle services operation is presently
servicing 284 vehicles of which 123 are serviced at the old

I
possibly float between the two service centers. Supervisor

IN RE: WORK SESSIONS
Work Session - Comprehensive Plan - Rob Stalzer,
Planning Coordinator, presented a report on land use for Roanoke
County. He also presented a map of Roanoke County showing
districts as either rural, urban, or suburban in nature.
Mr. Stalzer also reported on the Plan for Libraries.
I
All library locations have been studied for availability to each
citizen. Staff is considering the potentials of a Bonsack
substation perhaps building in conjunction with satisfaction of
the needs of the Blue Ridge area in Botetourt County. The
headquarters library on 419 will require approximately 1,500
more square feet since it houses the administration end of the
library system. A Bonsack branch or sub-branch should be planned
within the next 10 years because of anticipated growth in that
area. Additional space is also needed at the Hollins library.
Glenvar and Bent Mountain libraries are in good shape at the
present time. Mr. Stalzer and his staff have also studied travel
time of fire and rescue stations within each community.
