IN RE:
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
Sheriff O. S. Foster informed the Board that the Department of
Corrections will fund two-thirds of the salary for a Training Officer to be
provided for the Sheriff's Department. He stated this is a much needed
position and through normal turnover in the department, the remaining one-
third of the salary would be withip the budget, therefore, no additional
appropriation of funds is necessary. Sheriff Foster asked the Board's
concurrence in hiring a Training Officer to train Sheriff's Department
personnel.
Sheriff Foster was informed by the Board this matter would be
I
taken into consideration at the final budget study.

IN RE:
POLICE ACADEMY
Capt. Mike Kavanaugh submitted a letter explaining that basic
training for the Sheriff's Department has been by way of guests through
I
the Roanoke City Police Academy. Therefore, the County has not had input
into the training session. Since the situation regarding funds is unknown
for the City of Roanoke, the Department requests they be allowed to join the
training at the Police Academy at New River Community College at an annual
cost of $5,740.00. This joinder would enable the County to have input into
the training sessions. The Board took this matter under advisement for the
budget session.
IN RE:

On motion of Supervisor Johnson and a unanimous voice vote, the
Board went into Executive Session at 6:20 p.m. to discuss personnel, real

IN RE:
COUNTY BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1981-82
Bruce Mayer, Interim County Administrator, stated the total amount
of the 1981-82 budget is $73,606,400.00. No new capital equipment is included
in the budget for this fiscal year and that 22 positions will be eliminated,
16 of which are vacant and will not be filled.
Several organizations and citizens were present to discuss funds
to be included in this budget:
Matilda Bradshaw with TAP was present and outlined the programs
presented through TAP this year and asked for the Board's continued support.
Virla Jo Wirth, Mental Health Services, was present and recapped the
programs offered to County citizens and also asked funds to be provided in
this budget.
Mr. Roy Crowe, Chairman of Roanoke County Fire Chief's Board,
requested that the position of Fire Coordinator be reinstated in the budget
in order to keep the fire services what it is today.
Mr. Robert Blanchard from ITT, Inc. was present and stated they
have an investment of $25 million dollars and 700 employees in that company
and depend heavily on the firemen- in the event of an emergency. Mr. Blancha
said he feels the Fire Coordintor's role is extremely important and should
be continued.
Mr. Tony Wirt was present to represent the rescue squads in the
County. He stated that there are three emergency agencies in the County
and that three Supervisors should not dictate the policies and requested the
position of Fire Coordinator be reinstated and that Mr. Monroe be put in
that position.

Supervisor Johnson stated "let's not lose our heads and stay
off the job.
I think we'll have to keep a very cool head. I would like to
propose a compromise and I cannot bring it up because I'm not eligible. The
compromise is to re-establish the fire coordinator (position) and Mr. Monroe,
until at least the first of the year so we can study the other options we
have and get some input from the firemen and rescue men. We can't let the
County people down. Give us a chance to work this out. If everything goes
well, maybe we will keep it as it is."
Chairman Myers said that during the past six years, since 1976-1980,
the citizens have also supported the fire and rescue to the total amount of
$6,537,001.29. We are trying as hard as you are but we have had a hard year
as far as the budget is concerned.
Supervisor White said he would like to echo what Mrs. Johnson said
and he will work with Mrs. Johnson to put this position back and support the
volunteers.
Supervisor Terry stated that two-weeks ago he tried to offer some
kind of a solution to get this matter settled. He further stated he had
discussed this with Mrs. Johnson at 6:00 (before meeting) and "I will back
Mrs. Johnson 100%."
Roy Crowe, speaking for Fire Chief's Board informed the Supervisors
they will work with them too for a solution and to keep the Fire Department
going.
Willis Buchanan, Hollins Fire Station #5, said it will be a pleasu;e
to work with the Board in such a decision but "our backs are to the wall
because at noon tomorrow, Roanoke County #5 intends to walk out. These are
not threats, it is simply a way for us to pull ourselves together and reason
together. We welcome the suggestion. I have heard at least three of you
open to this suggestion and I would be highly pleased to hear two more say
they will work with this suggestion. We hope that can be accomplished."
George Stone, Vinton fire station, read aloud a letter sent to the
Supervisors from the members of that station citing the accomplishments of
the Fire Department and Mr. Monroe since he was instated as Fire Coordinator.
Several citizens were in attendance and expressed their displeasure
at the recent decision of abolishing the Fire Coordinator's position and
related matters.
