Timothy W. Gubala, Superintendent of the Department of Development,
reported on the soil erosion ordinance update. A State law change in 1981
establ ished authority for development of a new state soil and erosion
handbook. Regulations set forth in it suggest that our ordinance be brought
into conformity with the State Code. The amendments were reviewed with
the County Attorney and will be legally advertised for publ ic hearing
March 8, 1983.
Timothy W. Gubala reported on the proposed zoning ordinance for
Town Houses For Sale. Supervisor Burton requested that when an article
is referred to in a report that a copy of that article be attached to the
report for reference. In Section 21 - Heights,"multi-family dwellings"
and "high-rise apartments" should read "condominiums.11 An ordinance will
be prepared for a March 8, 1983, publ ic hearing.
John M. Chambl iss, Supervisor of the Department of Fiscal
Management, reported on shift differential for law enforcement personnel
and referred to Sheriff o. S. Foster's letter to Donald R. Flanders dated
July 23, 1982. One item that was not put into effect but that was
addressed by the Board concerned shift differential for law enforcement
personnel. This morning Sheriff Foster suggested to Mr. Chambl iss that the
Board hold this in abeyance until he investigated the situation and
submitted a report. Supervisor Johnson asked Mr. Chambliss to figure out
the difference between the 5% differential and a flat amount of increase
to be calculated as of January 1 and report for a future work session.
County Board appointments to various committees, commissions, and
boards were then reviewed. Supervisor Nickens will replace Supervisor

IN RE:
REPORTS OF OFFICERS, DEPARTMENTS, AND COMMITTEES
County Attorney - James E. Buchholtz requested that his report on
del inquent tax collections be held over.
The Firearms Ordinance requested from Sheriff O. S. Foster will
brought before the Board at the March 8 meeting.
At the request of the Board, Mr. Buchholtz obtained a clarification
from the Attorney General regarding the statute concerning the Board
establ ishing members salaries. He reported that he did not concur with the
opinion rendered dated January 11, 1983, and recommended that the Board direct
him to secure clarifying statutory law language. At this time Supervisor
Myers presented the following motion:
IIPrior to July 1, 1982, the Board, recognizing that the salary
of Board Members had been constant since 1975, determined to pay
its members, for fiscal 1982 - 1983, the salary provided for by the
Code of Virginia. The precept ion of the Board in 1982 was that the
demand on members' time had significantly and substantially increased
since 1975. This action of the Board was completely open in the
budgetary process.
Since an issue has lately been raised regarding this action
of the Board, and because the code provisions regarding supervisorsl
salaries are unclear and subject to various interpretations, the
members of this Board would far rather donate the extra time
required to serve the people of Roanoke County, than to have
further discussion and debate over an issue that can only divert
attention from the truly important issues which confront the
Board at this time.
Consequently, I move that the salaries for Board Members
for fiscal 1982 - 1983 be the same as paid for the prior fiscal year
and that proper adjustments be made in the supervisorsl salary
account.11

finance, personnel, and data processing. The County Administrator will
continue to work with Dr. Giegold and obtain a report and make recommendations
to the Board as to how this action can be carried out in the future.

and monitoring gas usage. This will be pursued as work on the budget
