County Administrator advised he had discussed with Paul R. Higginbotham,
Vice President of the Corporation, the fact that this would be a
duplication of names. In the Carriage Hills subdivision there are streets
named Boxwood Drive and Boxwood Circle. Mr. Flanders suggested that this
matter be referred to Planning and Zoning for a recommendation; the
Supervisors agreed and so directed.
IN RE:
REPORT OF COUNTY ADMINSTRATOR
I
The County Administrator's report was oral and updated the
Supervisors on the following:
(1) Moving of County offices has begun with Youth and Family
Services being moved from the Health Department building to Pinkard
Court school on July 7. They will occupy the school until the adminstrative
offices move from Clay Street to the new offices on Brambleton Avenue,
then Youth and Family Services will move to Clay Street. Voting machines
have been stored at the Pinkard Court school, also. Removal of the school
administration offices from Andrew Lewis school into the Health Department
building has also begun.
(2) County staff has been asked to prepare a report and make
recommendation on State Secondary Reads to the Joint Legislative Audit
and Review Committee at a meeting to be held at the Salem-Roanoke County
Civic Center at 9:30 a.m. on August 3, 1982. Mr. Flanders described
the initial report and asked John Peters from Engineering to comment.
Mr. Peters briefly outlined the purpose of the meeting and the program.
He invited the Supervisors to read over the report and direct comments
or question to him or Mr. Flanders in time for them to be incorporated
into the County's presentation on August 3rd. Chairman Burton asked if
the change from 1976 as a base year for distribution of construction funds
were included in County comments. Mr. Peters replied that he planned to
submit the County's report on Secondary Allocations, which set forth the
County position. Mrs. Burton suggested this be included in the oral
I
presentation on the 3rd as well as in the written report.

Minter said the County felt shortchanged because the original formula was
based on a one-year period when Roanoke County had very little road
construction. Chairman Burton urged each Supervisor to be present for
the JLARC meeting. The County Administrator said the area legislators
I
have communicated their concerns to JLARC.
(3) As part of the County effort to get a post office to serve
the southwest County area, staff has developed a report indicating that
405,000 pieces of mail go out from the County offices annually and there
are 230,000 pieces of incoming mail to County offices. Chairman Burton
recognized the efforts of Mrs. Mabel Smith to get a post office located
in southwest County and it was mentioned that the headquarters library
has petitions supporting this project which any interested person may pick
up and circulate.
(4) County Administrator is working with the State Department of
Industrial Development. He mentioned a visit from Mr. Robert Will of
the State Department of Industrial Development during which a tour of

cations from two of the industries involved in the meeting with the
Commissioner of the Revenue, and excerpts from these letters were read aloud.
(6) A report has been received from the U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers regarding the upper Roanoke River basin. County Administrator
has met with Mr. Rex Phillips, with the Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington,
Delaware, on July 22. According to the Engineers' report, Roanoke County's
share of the cost for flood control would be $1,658,000 and the annual
pay-back cost ratio would be only $1,000 per year. The Administrator
suggested the County's actual cash investment will be cut down by using
inkind services and credits for property use. Another meeting will be
thereafter, all Valley governments will be invited to a joint meeting to

solve the landfill problem. He recommended this proposal be referred
to the Regional Solid Waste Management Board to investigate the possibility
of expansion of Salem's incinerator site. Supervisor Myers asked if
I
Salem would be agreeable to meeting with Roanoke City. Mr. Flanders said
he didn't know, but felt it had to be considered on a cooperative basis.
(8) Updated Supervisors on progress at the former Mount Vernon
school. There will soon be a meeting regarding storm windows, painting,
and the front canopy. The work is moving along well. Staff has been
invited to tour the building at the end of this week. On the recommendation
of Supervisor Myers, Hobart Gladden has been hired to oversee this project.
on the County's behalf. He will check bills submitted and work with the
subcontractors. Investigation has been initiated to see what has to be
done to legally get authority to move the offices of the Commissioner of
the Revenue and the Treasurer. He further advised that October I is the
target date for occupancy.
(9) Outlined the projected schedule of work on the new courthouse.
I
Advised that the architects want to meet with the Supervisors in mid-August.
Chairman Burton asked how far behind we are on the bidding process. Mr.
Flanders said the whole project is behind about one month. Supervisor
Minter asked the County Attorney about recent publicity on a proposal to
share Roanoke City's courthouse. The Attorney replied that if all
parties involved in development and utilization of court facilities can
agree, then there is no legal impediment to the parties reaching agreement.
Supervisor Minter asked what parties would be involved. The Attorney said
the governing bodies of the users of the facilities and all litigants in
the County and City of Roanoke out of which came the orders to build the
facilities, including judges, clerks, commonwealth's attorneys, City Council,
and Supervisors. The County Attorney was asked if the Supervisors can
I
force a specific solution to the problem on other parties that would be
using the space. Supervisor Johnson assured those present that the Board
of Supervisors which had the responsibility of carrying out the court order
directing that adequate facilities be provided made every effort to hold
down costs and that all suggestions were pursued. After much study and

time it was not considered feasible. Supervisor Minter reiterated his
regret that the County was forced into building a new courthouse just
because certain people wanted it. The County Administrator commented that
staff and the County's financial consultants are working on the framework
to finance construction.
(10) Mentioned benefits derived from the magisterial district
meetings. In particular~ the problem at the Hitching Post~ which came up at
the HOllins district meeting is being solved.
(11) Mentioned a letter received from the Virginia Association
of Counties regarding House Resolution 5320 on Job Training Partnership
Action to replace the CETA program. George Long~ Executive Director of
VACO~ urged the County's support. Mr. Flanders asked for a motion directing
a letter of support be sent. Supervisor Johnson so moved and urged anyone

a unanimous voice vote. III
(12) Chairman Burton directed the County Administrator to have
a representative at a meeting to be held August 11th, at which extension of

set aside for them in Vinton's new Municipal Building.
Mr. Anderson then discussed his suggestion that the County's
bad-check service charge be increased from $5 to $20 as provided by
legislation recently adopted by the General Assembly. Supervisor Minter
asked if a $20 service charge wouldn't be excessive. Mr. Anderson replied
that he did not feel it would be and that the General Assembly had passed

legislation allowing the $20 fee. He then directed the Supervisor's
attention to a memorandum prepared by Mrs. Yvonne Campbell from the
Finance Department, which set forth the procedure and approximate costs
I
involved in trying to collect bad checks. Mr. Anderson further advised
that the banks do not call him about a bad check until the check has
been submitted for payment the second time and, therefore, the check writer
would have to know his check is bad. Supervisor Minter reiterated his
opinion that a $20 bad check fee would be excessive, saying the County
should not make a profit from the collection process. He then moved
for adoption of the following, prepared, emergency ordinance, amended to
provide for a penalty of $15 for bad checks tendered to the County:
ORDINANCE NO. 3178 AMENDING SECTION 19-6.1. CHARGE FOR BAD

Sec. 19-6.1. Charge for bad checks tendered to county.
If any check tendered for any amount due the county be not paid by
the bank on which it is drawn as the result of insufficient funds in the
account or if there be no such account, the person by whom such check
was tendered shall remain liable for the payment of such amount the same
as if such check had not been tendered, and in addition to other penalties
imposed by law, be subject to a penalty of fifteen ($15.00) dollars.
2. That an emergency is declared to exist and this ordinance shall

Mr. Leonard G. Leask outlined aloud the information contained

Roanoke and Salem for sewer and water during 1981-02 and their potential
impact on County sewer and water rates. Referring to a recent sewer rate
increase in Roanoke City, Chairman Burton asked Mr. Leask if he could
foresee a 71 per cent increase to County citizens. He replied that he
could not speculate, but reminded the Supervisors that the County's water

and sewer rate structure is being studied by an outside consultant.
In his report on replacing a motor at Starkey well number 2,
I
Mr. Leask mentioned some criticism received because the project was not
advertised for bids. He explained that the motor breakdown created an
emergency situation and that if the work had been put out for bids, it
would have taken about two months for the bid to be awarded. He advised
that while the well is not operating, the County is paying $195 a day
for water from Roanoke City; when the well is functioning, it costs $13.20
a day to operate. He also said that similar work done several years ago
by GE cost around $22,000, while Nelson-Roanoke is charging $17,040 for
complete installation of a Jacuzzi pump with a new motor. Chairman Burton
said she realized the bid process is not always practical in an emergency
situation and asked if a phone survey had been made to get price comparisons.
I
The County Administrator said he had met with staff and asked
how such a situation had been handled in the past and was told it was
"just handled." John R. Hubbard, Director of Utility Engineering and
Administration, was directed to contact the School of Engineering at VPI
and find out the cause of the problem and see if an agreement would be
worked out between the County and VPI whereby they could provide
professional assistance on a continuing basis. Mr. Leask was asked to
inventory the County-owned wells and then meet with E. D. Fitzgerald,
Purchasing Supervisor, to work out an annual bidding process to be kept
on standby. Supervisor Johnson suggested using VPI's resources to study
the regional landfill problem. Supervisor Johnson then moved adoption

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
Superintendent of Public Works, G. Roy Nester, Jr. was present
and explained that in June, 1982, the existing high-pressure washer
located at the County garage broke down. Chairman Burton asked why his
report recommended purchase from other than the low bidder. Mr. Nester
replied that the high bidder's is a heavier piece of equipment and that
the County will be allowed a trade-in on their old washer. He also
advised that invitatiom to bid were not sent out, that quotes were obtained
by phone.
Supervisor Minter asked how many area suppliers of such
equipment there were; Mr. Nester replied there were two. Chairman Burton
felt this purchase should be put out to bid and did not feel award to
the high bidder could be justified.
Supervisor Johnson asked if both companies make a higher pressure
machine; Mr. Nester said they do, but the cost would be about $2,000 more.
Supervisor Johnson agreed that this item of equipment should be bid and
Mr. Nester was directed to do so.

a resolution of appreciation she had had prepared for Mrs. Jeanette L.
Burrows, former secretary and Deputy Clerk to the Board, who had resigned

RESOLUTION NO. 3194 EXPRESSING THE APPRECIATION OF THE
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR THE EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE OF JEANETTE
L. BURROWS DURING HER TENURE AS DEPUTY CLERK OF THE BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County,
Virginia, as follows:
1. That the Board does hereby express its deepest and most sincere
appreciation to Mrs. Jeanette L. Burrows for her excellence in the
performance of the many responsibilities and duties devolved upon her
during her tenure as Deputy Clerk to the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke
County from January, 1980, to April, 1982; and
2. That the Board believes that Mrs. Jeanette L. Burrows is well-
qualified to perform duties and responsibilities analogous to those
I

\'
performed for Roanoke County as Deputy Clerk and further that Mrs.
B~lrrow' s competence in the same or a similar capacity is beyond reproach;
and
3. That an attested copy of this resolution be forthwith forwarded

NAYS:

Supervisor Johnson directed that an attested copy of this
resolution be sent to Mrs. Burrows.
Supervisor Johnson then mentioned a Mrs. Guthrie on Chaparral
Drive, who owns a lot at 4903 Starkey Road. Mrs. Guthrie wants to rezone
the lot from B-3 to R-l; there is a house on the lot and she wants it
zoned for residential use. Because the lot is currently zoned for
business use, the taxes are high and Mrs. Guthrie feels they would be
lower if it were zoned for residential use.
She does not feel she can
~aise her tenant's rent to balance the cost of increased real estate
taxes. County Planner Timothy IV. Gubala was directed to contact Mrs.
Guthrie about the situation.

Supervisor Johnson then asked County Engineer R. E. Robertson
about a situation on Penn Forest Boulevard where a bank of red mud is
sliding into the road. Mrs. Lillian Utecht says neighbors in the area
I
want to buy white pines and have the County or State plant them on the
bank. Mr. Robertson replied that the State would not do the work and
would require anyone else to get a permit to do the planting. It was
suggested that the Extension Office be contacted about getting a 4-H Club
to do the planting.
Chairman Burton advised the other Supervisors of a letter she
had received from the West Central Regional Office of the State Water
Control Board advising that someone from Roanoke County should be
appointed to replace Edward C. Park, Jr. on the Roanoke Valley Advisory
Management Board. Supervisor Minter was appointed to this position by
a unanimous voice vote.
I
Chairman Burton then asked the Supervisors to consider the
County's status regarding Fifth Planning District Commission. Supervisor
Minter commented that during his election campaign his position favored
rejoining. He further stated he felt that the services and resources
available to the County through the Commission would be worth the cost.
Supervisor Minter then moved that the County rejoin the Fifth Planning
District Commission. Supervisor Johnson said that because the State is
going with block grants and will use Planning Districts as a vehicle for
local governments, it is almost necessary ttatthe County rejoin. Someone
mentioned that at the August 10th Board meeting, the County will be asked
to get together and bring about a committee to plan for the aged and
disabled that will not send them into a nursing home; this will be
I
mandatory and it was felt the Fifth Planning District Commission staff
would be of assistance. Supervisor Myers asked if the County Administrator
assign one staff person to the County and that the voting should be based

had anything to add to his previous report on rejoining. Mr. Flanders
replied that he recognized the points made by Supervisors Johnson, Burton
and Minter, but felt that if the County rejoined, the Commission should
on population. County Attorney Buchholtz said he was not familiar with
~
42
7-27-82
the by-laws pertaining to voting, but that there was an Executive Committee,
composed of two members from each participating locality, which met
monthly while the COillflission itself is made up of one voting member per
20,000 population and meets every two months. Supervisor Myers asked
I
about benefits received by the County when it first joined the Commission.
He was told they were mostly regional in nature such as transportation
planning and housing planning; there was no real staff assistance. The
Supervisors approved Supervisor Minter's motion to rejoin the Fifth
Planning District Commission by the following vote:
AYES:
Supervisors Minter, Johnson, and Burton
NAYS:
Supervisor Myers
Supervisor Myers said he was voting no because he did not feel
that membership in the Commission was worthwhile or something that would
I help County citizens; after being in the Commission several years, he did
not see any benefit to be derived now.
I
Chairman Burton then reminded those present that the next
magisterial district meeting should be announced and planned, and she
asked Supervisor Myers to host the next meeting. He replied that he had
I had no requests and saw no need for a meeting. Chairman Burton said a
i
I vote had been taken at the January, 1982 organizational meeting that a
series of magisterial district meetings would be held. Supervisor Myers
replied that he had no time or place to suggest now. Chairman Burton
said the next meeting must be held before the end of September.
Chairman Burton then commented that she had just received a
communication giving the schedule for completion of the comprehensive plan
I
and said there might be legal complications. The State Code says
comprehensive plans must be updated every five years; it has been six years
since the County's has been. She told County Planner Gubala she would like
to see it accelerated. lIe responded that the work schedule had been
deferred by staff because the Planning Commission has been working on the
sign ordinance recently. Supervisor Johnson said they don't want to be

want it to be done in house. Mr. Gubala said his summer interns from
VPI are working on this and citizens will be invited to provide input.
Chairman Burton again emphasized the need to accelerate the schedule.
Chairman Burton then commented that in the future she wanted
agenda items submitted by the deadline unless there was an emergency
situation.
Chairman Burton also suggested preparation of a resolution of
appreciation to Edward C. Park, Jr. for his service and time on the Board
of Supervisors and as Board Chairman. Supervisor Myers moved that such a
resolution be prepared and his motion was adopted by the following roll
call vote:

Supervisor Johnson asked that a resolution of appreciation be
prepared for Robert E. Stegall, who was on the Planning Commission for
eight years.
Supervisor Minter asked that a resolution of appreciation be
prepared for lvilliam L. Whitwell, former member of the Planning Commission.
I
Chairman Burton reminded those present that on August 11 there
will be a joint meeting with the legislative subcommittee studying the
tax on meals and lodging. She felt someone should be sent to represent
the Board. Supervisor Johnson so moved and the motion was adopted by a
unanimous voice vote. The Board directed the County Administrator to see
that the County was represented.
Chairman Burton stated that she feels there is a need in the
County's personnel policy for a definitive statement regarding meals

and lodging expenses. Supervisor Johnson requested a recommendation and
the County Administrator was instructed to submit recommended guidelines,
taking into consideration the type of banquet, etc.
Chairman Burton then said she wanted a meeting arranged
I
regarding the tax on machinery and tools; she said the County faces a great
challenge in meeting the needs of the business community regarding the
tax on machinery and tools. She wants this discussed before next year
when tax tickets go out.
