I Supervisor Minter's motion was adopted by a unanimous voice vote. IN RE: INSTALLATION OF "STOP" SIGNS AT RAILROAD GRADE * CROSSINGS * CONTINUED County Administrator Flanders explained the background situation that generated his letter to the Norfolk and Western Railway Company regarding installation of STOP signs at railroad crossings. He said the State Highway Department is concerned that if STOP signs were put up at such grade crossings, people would tend to ignore STOP signs at street intersections; the Highway Department does not want to broaden use of their STOP signs. Mr. Flanders said the County was involved in this I situation only as the "pass-through" agency; final determination is to be made by the State. It was directed that this matter be continued to the Supervisors' September 14 meeting. IN RE: REPORTS OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR The Administrator passed out to the Supervisors copies of the I 1- , ~ J :~ ') 4J 9-7-82 report on solid waste described at their August 24 meeting; it was so late, there was no discussion at that meeting. Supervisor Myers asked the Administrator if he was not still of the opinion that the County would be better off without the baler at the regional landfill. Mr. Flanders replied that the baler system being considered is transferrable and could I be used at any future landfill site. He also advised that the Solid Waste Management Board has not gone into other means of handling wastes by other methods; as a new member of the Board, he planned to discuss source separation, use of Salem's incinerator, etc. Mr. Flanders felt anything that could be done now to extend the life of the present landfill would be helpful. He then mentioned a letter from the Solid Waste Management Board's attorney, Edward A. Natt, regarding the Board's organizational structure. Mr. Flanders also recommended that the Supervisors authorize purchase of the baler since the County could be charged for it anyway. Supervisor Minter moved that the purchase be authorized. Supervisor Johnson commented that the baler had already been ordered and suggested that the Administrator take to the Solid Waste Management I Board the Supervisors' recommendation to make the landfill higher and thus extend the life of the present site. Chairman Burton said these things still are unanswered to her satisfaction: how the County's share of the baler cost will be financed; the impact on County citizens' refuse disposal fees; who will own the equipment after purchase; and whether lease/purchase was considered. Supervisor Myers agreed with Mrs. Burton's reservations. He also said if the Landfill Board attorney's opinion were accepted, the SupervisorE would be accepting his opinion against the opinion of the County Attorney and that if the County goes along with purchase of the baler it should be stated that the County does not agree with the way the purchase has County Attorney Buchholtz reminded the Supervisors he had previously I been handled. given them a written opinion on this subject. Chairman Burton again expressed reservations and said she thought her questions ought to be answered before the money was appropriated. - ~ ~ 9-7-82 133 Supervisor Nickens commented that the County Administrator's presence on the Solid Waste Management Board would be helpful and that he shared the concerns expressed by the other Supervisors; he also suggested I that the money should be approved to keep from driving a wedge between the municipalities now working together. Supervisor Minter's motion that purchase of the baler be authorized was adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Supervisors Johnson, Nickens, Myers, and Minter. (Supervisor Myers asked that the record show he does not agree with the Solid Waste Management Board attorney's opinions). NAYS: Chairman Burton (asked that the record show she voted "Nay" because she does not have information on impact on rates). The County Administrator then announced he had been studying the operations of all County departments and that he will be making a report on how best to provide needed services to the County citizens and be I responsive to the Supervisors. Mr. Flanders mentioned that the County is currently inventorying and receiving appraisals on surplus real estate owned by the County; Real Estate Assessor Andrew E. Clingenpeel was asked to make a report on progress of this project. Mr. Clingenpeel said that appraisals on four properties are being updated and that two tracts had to have appraisals made. He anticipated these would be in hand the latter part of this month. Mr. Flanders reminded the Supervisors that it has been suggested that funds realized from the sale of these properties be used for a new public works facility. The County Administrator reminded the Supervisors of a meeting of the Legislative subcommittee studying the meals and lodging tax to be held in I Richmond on September 15. Mr. Flanders attended a previous meeting of this subcommittee to present Roanoke County's views in this matter. He plans to attend the September 15 meeting and invited any Supervisor who could, to accompany him. The County Administrator next brought up the matter of selecting a date for the Supervisors' next magisterial district meeting, which will be held in Vinton district. Mr. Flanders presented a schedule of possible I~ r- 1'8 4 9-7-82 . dates. Chairman Burton asked if the location of the next regular meeting of the Board (first Tuesday in October) could be moved to the Vinton municipal building. She was told it could be if a resolution were adopted and advertised. Chairman Burton then suggested Thursday, September 30, I at 7:30 p.m. because Vinton Town Council would be meeting on the first Tuesday in October. Chairman Burton also suggested that Vinton Town Council be invited to have dinner at 6:00 p.m. with the Supervisors at the Vinton War Memorial prior to that magisterial district meeting. Supervisor Nickens moved that the invitation be extended and his motion was adopted by a unanimous voice vote. The Administrator told the Supervisors he had met last week with Salem City Manager William J. Paxton, Jr., Social Services Superintendent Betty ~1. Lucas, and Social Services Supervisor Toy W. Bowen, and Richard Young, Director of the League of Older Americans regarding the council on long-tern care. It was felt that in the planning phase, the Valley govern~ents should work together. }1r. Young has been asked to contact other Valley governments about a meeting. I The County Administrator mentioned that he had talked to Salem City Manager Paxton about working with the County on a grant for a regional water system under the Community Block Grant application; Vinton has been communicated with on this. Mr. Flanders said things are progressing well on the bond sale; he will have a resolution and reports for the next Supervisors' meeting and hoped the sale might be implemented in October. Supervisor Myers suggested that interest rates be closely monitored to take advantage of the best rate. Regarding the legislative program as requested by George Long, Executive Director of VACo, input from staff has already been requested, Supervisor Johnson said it would be a good idea to stick to one or two I and the County Administrator asked for suggestions from the Supervisors. pieces of high-priority items. Supervisor Minter suggested getting priorities from other large, urban counties. Chairman Burton wanted the Supervisors to localize their efforts on two or three needs and suzgested that by the next Supervisors meeting some ideas be available - for discussion. ...... ~ 9-7-82 The County Administrator then distributed a memorandum from County Planner Timothy W. Gubala scheduling a tour of RCAC on September 10 and showing a schedule of planning and occupancy. Chairman Burton I asked for a motion directing that a resolution be prepared directing that directional signs be erected by the State Highway Department re: RCAC. Supervisor Johnson moved that the County Attorney prepare such a resolution asking that the signs be readable and located at appropriate places from the entrances. Her motion was adopted by a unanimous voice vote. The County Administrator advised that the planning intern program this summer was helpful in setting up workshops for citizen input on the proposed comprehensive plan. The County Planner and County Administrato have met with Professor David Loecks about having students working for the County during the fall and winter quarters as part of class study requirements at Virginia Tech.

IN RE: REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF FINANCE Director of Finance John M. Chambliss, Jr. discussed the revised I appropriation resolution which accompanied his report on carry-over appropriations and attempted to explain the carry-over items. Supervisor Myers asked if the money was part of the 1982-83 unappropriated balance; Mr. Chambliss said it was not. Mr. Chambliss said the money had been in the 1981-82 budget and had not been expended. Chairman Burton wanted to see the final accounting for 1981-82 before making a decision on these excess funds. Supervisor Johnson said this money represented 0---- I..... """ 9-7-82 136 1981-82 appropriations that were not spent. Supervisor Myers said he thought unexpended funds automatically went into the beginning balance for the next budget year. Mr. Chambliss advised the County now has an un- appropriated balance of about $700,000 in the general fund, but he did I not have a figure for the beginning balance that includes unexpended funds from the 1981-82 budget. Supervisor Minter moved for adoption of the prepared, corrected appropriation resolution. Chairman Burton and Supervisor Myers wanted detailed information on these transactions before taking action on this matter. Supervisor Johnson made a substitute motion to continue the matter until further explanations can be given on all things that are not underway now and that the County honor payment of invoices on projects already undertaken.

In their 1983-84 budget, they are planning for new textbooks, and the $50,000 under discussion would be spent during the late spring or early summer of 1983 for books Supervisor Nickens suggested that the $50,000 be included in the I that would be used in the 1983-84 school year.

County Attorney Buchholtz pointed out that a past Board of Supervisors operated by anyone under 21 years of age, including fire trucks. He I made it County policy that equipment purchased by the County not be said if the present Supervisors want to keep this age limit, he should be directed to include that provision in the ordinance; Mr. Fuqua concurred. Supervisor Minter moved that the County Attorney draw up and advertise an ordinance for consideration by the Board.

Chairman Burton aksed the County Administrator if this could be referred to the League of Older Americans. Mrs. Recard said that was one of the agencies she had contacted and they could not provide the necessary service. The Administrator said he had asked Fire and Emergency Services Coordinator Fuqua to be prepared to address the matter brought up by Mrs. Recard. Mr. Fuqua said that because the County rescue squads are composed of volunteers and are intended to handle emergencies, not provide ambulance service, it would almost be necessary to have paid personnel I on the rescue squads to handle emergencies and take care of transportation. The County Administrator commented that this is the kind of service that would be addressed in the planning of the long-term care council and he asked Mrs. Recard if she would be available to provide input at the meetin~ held to discuss formation of the council. She replied that she would be Chairman Burton suggested that the Supervisors reconsider I I I - L~ available. ~ , i 1'-, ~. 9-7-82 membership in RADAR, an agency with which a previous agreement was worked out but not approved by the then Supervisors. Supervisor Myers said he thought the County had not entered into the agreement because of the expense. Supervisor Johnson said the County might be eligible for a bus I through the League of Older Americans, the only County expense would be the cost of a driver. IN RE: REPORTS AND INQUIRIES OF BOARD MEMBERS Supervisor Johnson had several matters to bring before the Board and staff: (1) asked Director of Finance if the County received money from the State for one-half of the office supplies in the offices of the Treasurer and Commissioner of the Revenue; he responded that the County does receive such reimbursement, up to a set amount. (2) mentioned possibility of microfilming Supervisors' minutes; I advised Circuit Court Clerk's office has the equipment and the only cost would be for film; State would provide storage (3) asked the County Planner about a previously requested report on condominiums; he replied that it will be on the Board's September 14 agenda.

Perry, Jr. (3943 Hummingbird Lane, S. W., telephone 989-9898) to the Air Pollution Advisory and Appeals Board for a four-year term. Mr. Perry replaced Edwin N.

Supervisor Myers, as one of the County representatives on the Salem-Roanoke County Civic Center Commission, had received a request from the Civic Center. They have a water break and since Salem has in the past taken care of electrical problems in an emergency situation, Civic Center Manager Jack Dame asked that the County repair the water break. Supervisor Myers asked Leonard Leask, Director of Utilities Operations and Maintenance, if it would be possible. Mr. Leask replied that the County had the capability, but he would need more information; he said he would call Mr. Dame tomorrow morning. I Supervisor Myers also reported to the other Supervisors that the Civic Center Commission has a list of capital improvements which would cost approximately $210,000. Chairman Burton asked if the list had been reviewed to see if all the items are necessary. Supervisor Myers replied that these are projects that will be coming up and he merely wanted the other Supervisors to know about them in advance. The Commission is suggesting that each participating governing body set money aside each year in an escrow account to handle these improvements and any emergencies that may arise. Supervisor Nickens asked the County Attorney if all resolutions have to be adopted by a roll call vote. The County Attorney said yes, I and that the vote must be recorded in the minute book. Supervisor Nickens then brought up the subject of beauty shops. He advised there is now State legislation, which became effective July 1, dealing with inspection of these facilities and that it is a misdemeanor to operate, regardless of where, without such inspection.

Chairman Burton then mentioned the need for recodification of the Roanoke County Code. County Attorney Buchholtz advised there are three companies nationwide that provide such service: one in Spokane, Hashington which recodified Salem's City Code; one in Florida which I recodified Roanoke's City Code; and the Michie Company in Charlottesville which did the original codific.ation of Roanoke County's ordinances in 1973. lie further advised that the three are specialists in the business and they provide a service which deals with nothing but legislation adopted by the State of Virginia and how it affects our Code. They also expect a great deal of participation from local staff when undertaking such a project. Supervisor Minter moved that the County Attorney and County Administrator be directed to secure proposals to recodify the County Code. His motion was adopted by a unanimous voice vote. Chairman Burton then brought to the Supervisors attention the idea of scheduling all public hearings at one monthly meeting at which no other business would be handled unless it was an emergency. The I County Administrator said this was discussed in a recent staff meeting and that staff was very much in favor of it. County Planner Gubala suggested the second meeting of each month for public hearings only since the Board of Zoning Appeals meets the third Wednesday of each month and I I f-. the Planning Commission meets the third Tuesday. Chairman Burton then asked if it would be legal to set a limit on the number of hearings ~. ~ 9-7-82 .-., '-' "'-" I scheduled for such a meeting. Mr. Gubala advised that the Planning Commission cuts off the number of public hearings they hold at anyone meeting. The Supervisors agreed that, on a trial basis, their regularly scheduled meetings on the second Tuesday of each month should be set aside for public hearings only. The County Administrator asked for an executive session, pursuant to Section 2.1-344 (a) (2) and (6) of the Code of Virginia, as amended, to discuss real estate and legal matters. Supervisor Minter asked for a list of appointments for the upcoming year. I Chairman Burton brought up a letter from Walker Services in Roanoke regarding a citizens service review board which reviews all the service agencies which request contributions and makes recommendations and suggesting that such a review board be formed in the County.

Altice), a County Board Supervisor (Dr. Harry C. Nickens), and a representative of the medical service provider field, Charles D. Cox, III (Route 2, Salem).
