County Administrator Donald R. Flanders then addressed the Board presenting
the 1983-84 tax rate recommendations. Mr. Flanders stressed that his goal in
completing the budget is to hold the tax rate as low as possible, and to use every
resource available to offset the potential impact for a $.08 real estate tax rate
increase that separation of Salem from the County School System has created. He
also stressed the need for a responsible contingency balance in the general fund.
Flanders recommended that the Personal Property tax rate be set at $3.50 per $100
valuation, machinery and tools rate be set at $3.00 per $100 valuation and that the
1984 auto decal fee be set at $15.00 to allow use of approximately $240,000 for
Fire, Rescue and Police equipment improvements.
Vice Chairman Nickens stated that since all the final budget figures are not
yet available, the Board would not set a real estate property tax rate.
Mr. John G. Hull, President of the West Texas Hollow Civic League, spoke to
the Board regarding tax discrimination and the fact that some areas are being taxed
for services they are not receiving. He stated that the urban areas have more
services available than the rural areas for the same tax dollars. He recommended
the study of development Service Districts in the County. Vice Chairman Nickens
informed Mr. Hull that since this would require an extensive amount of time for
research, that this could not be considered for the 1983-84 fiscal year. He directed
the County Administrator to address this situation of tax and service equity and
report the results of the research to the Board. He then requested the Board to act
on the personal property and machinery and tools tax rates.

Mr. Ed Natt, attorney for the Industrial Development Authority, explained

in the County of Roanoke, Virginia, and has held a public hearing thereon on March
22, 1983.
WHEREAS, Section 103(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended,

benefit of the Company, as required by Section 103(k), to permit the Authority to
assist in the financing of the Project.
2. The approval of the issuance of the Bonds, as required by Section 103(k),
does not constitute an endorsement to a prospective purchaser of the Bonds of the
creditworthiness of the Project or the Company, and, as required by Section 15.1-
1380 of the Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended, the Bonds shall provide that
neither the County nor the Authority shall be obligated to pay the Bonds or the
interest thereon or other costs incident thereto except from the revenues and moneys

Mr. Gordan Dixon, Executive Director of the Fifth Planning District
Commission, was present to briefly report on the development of the Western Virginia
Development Company. This organization was established to aid eligible businesses
in the area in applying for loans up to $1,000,000. Fifty per cent (5096) of the
money must come from local financial institutions, and the Small Business
Administration can also make a loan of 4096 available to the industry for capital
improvements. The two economical advantages this offers the small business is an
interest rate slightly below the market rate and also a fixed rate of interest. The
organization has been chartered, and Roanoke County is invited to participate and
attend the organizational meeting.
IN RE:
REPORTS AND INQUIRIES OF BOARD MEMBERS
Supervisor Minter - requested the County Attorney to look at the County
Noise Ordinance to see if it can be updated or changed to affect the citizens who
suffer from noise due to the airport. County Attorney Buchholtz informed Supervisor
Minter that the County Noise Ordinance is very brief and does not specifically cover
the problem of airport noise. The Ordinance could be redrafted to address this
problem, but the County Attorney does not have the expertise in this area to do this.
Supervisor Minter also stated that developers are continually failing to
develop roads and water systems that do not conform to County standards. He
asked that the County standards be investigated to determine what can be done to
enforce the County's requirements.
Supervisor Myers - questioned Superintendent of the Department of Public
Facilities, John Hubbard, on the status of the rural road additions. Mr. Hubbard
advised that this would be covered later in the meeting.
Supervisor Burton - listed the four priorities of the Fifth Planning District
Commission establishment of the Virginia Community Development Block Grant as
follows: (1) industrial site development, (2) water facilities, (3) sewage facilities,
and (4) neighborhood improvements. She stated that the first three directly affect
Roanoke County and that if the Board applies for these block grants at the appropriate
time it gives the application greater standing and chance for approval since these
are first-priority designations.

The County Attorney was asked the status of the recodification of the
County Code. Mr. Buchholtz advised that the work is underway and he would have
an update in late summer.
Concerning the Bent Mountain Dumpster site, John Hubbard advised that
a soil analysis was just received which would determine the stability of the soil for
the development of the facility. Approximately 12" of topsoil needs to be removed
and replaced with rock or similar material. Cost figures will be available in about
a week; and the site should be available by summer.
Supervisor Nickens - questioned Mr. Flanders as to the joint meeting
between the Board of Supervisors and the Salem Roanoke County Civic Center. Mr.
Flanders stated that we were waiting for the Civic Center to set up their budget,
and at that time a meeting would be set.
The Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors meeting to discuss the
subdivision ordinance has not been scheduled yet, and Supervisor Nickens would like
to set up a meeting as soon as possible.
John Hubbard was questioned as to the progress of checking into what
other counties are doing regarding a soil survey. He informed Supervisor Nickens
that one reply had been received from Henrico County and that others are still
expected from other counties.
Supervisor Nickens encouraged County Administrator Flanders to follow
up on communication between the Committees and the new appointees and let the
new members know when meetings will be held.
April 26, 1983, has been designated as Student Government Day, and
Supervisor Nickens recognized the presence of School Board members and indicated
the Board's willingness and anticipation of the students being involved with the
County government.
