Johnson, CMC, Town Clerk Meeting Date March 6, 2018 Department Human Resources Issue Briefing on renewal of the Town of Vinton Employees’ group health insurance with The Local Choice Program for the contract year July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 Summary • Local Choice proposed a 12% premium increase in renewal rates effective July 1, 2018. • Currently we are offering The Key Expanded Plan and the Key Advantage 500 Plan to our employees. • After further review the Key Expanded Plan also had increases to service costs beginning July 1, 2018. When evaluated with the next available plan, Key Advantage 250, it was not fortuitous for the Town or its employees to continue to offer the Key Expanded Plan. The impact of keeping the Expanded Plan was approximately $262,000.00. • Beginning July 1, 2018 the Town will offer 3 plans: Key Advantage 250, Key Advantage 500, and Key Advantage 1000. In doing this we will reduce the impact on the Town to approximately $22,000.00, while still being able to offer a plan that is free to the employee. • Each of the plans has the same prescription cost, as well as dental and vision coverage.

Attachments Letter RVTV Operating Budget-FY2018-2019 Resolution Recommendations Motion to adopt Resolution Town Council Agenda Summary To: Roanoke Regional Cable Television Committee From: Elaine Bays-Murphy, Director of Cable Access Date: February 7, 2018 Re: Proposed FY 2018-2019 Operating Budget BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Roanoke Valley Television, RVTV Channel 3, is a Government & Educational Access Station, serving the City of Roanoke, Roanoke County, Town of Vinton, and their respective School Systems. In 1992, the three localities signed an agreement to form the Station, and RVTV-3 was created in 1993. RVTV programming is cablecast on Cox Cable, Channel 3, Roanoke, and on Comcast, Channel 3, in west Salem. RVTV is located at the Jefferson Center (541 Luck Ave. SW). The operational budget for RVTV is provided by the three local governments, and it is funded through the Virginia Communications Sales and Use Tax Revenue paid by Cox Communications. The RVTV budget amount paid by each locality is based on the percentage of Cox Customers located in each jurisdiction. RVTV-3 produces Original Videos, Monthly Television Shows, and covers LIVE Government Meetings (Roanoke City Council & Roanoke County Board of Supervisors). RVTV also provides the meeting signal for video streaming. Roanoke Valley Television produced the following in 2017: • 87 Original Television Shows (11) Inside Roanoke, (12) Roanoke County Today, (12) Spotlight On City Schools, (12) Accent Excellence, (12) Roanoke County Business Partners, (4) Recreation Television, (12) BizRoanoke (12) Libraries Happenings • 58 Regular Government Meetings (24) Regular Roanoke City Council, (22) Regular Roanoke County Board of Supervisors, (12) City Council Briefings • 76 Original Video Productions ( List of Video Productions on Attachment Pages 4 & 5) The approximate rate for video production work in the private sector is $1,500 per finished minute. The approximate RVTV Production Value for Stand Alone Video Productions is $1,276,500. (Total value does not include TV Shows or Government Meetings). RVTV-3 Programming is uploaded to the RVTV Website & Social Media Sources. Additionally, RVTV-3 Programming is uploaded to the Websites & Social Media Sources for Roanoke City, Roanoke County, Town of Vinton & their School Systems. RVTV Website www.RVTV.org RVTV YouTube Channel www.youtube.com/RoanokeValleyTV RVTV Facebook Page (1,955 Likes) www.facebook.com/RoanokeValleyTelevision RVTV Twitter www.twitter.com/RoanokeValleyTV FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed FY2017/2018 Operating Budget request is $447,525. Roanoke County is the fiscal agent for Roanoke Valley Television, and RVTV Team Members are included in the County’s payroll and benefits system. The proposed budget includes a 2% salary increase if approved by the Board of Supervisors. For budgeting purposes, the County’s Director of Finance, has recommended a 20% increase for Group Health Insurance. The budget includes closed captioning services for Roanoke City Council & Roanoke County Board of Supervisors meetings. On January 1, 2007, the Virginia Communications Sales and Use Tax Act of 2006 (Va. Code 58.1-645 et seq.) required Cox Communications, as well as other cable television providers, to pay a five percent (5%) sales or use tax to the Commonwealth of Virginia in place of paying franchise fees to the localities, including the City of Roanoke, County of Roanoke, and Town of Vinton. Under the Act, the Commonwealth pays the amount of revenues it receives from cable television providers, like Cox, to the localities. The operational budget for RVTV is provided by the three local governments, and it is funded through the Virginia Communications Sales and Use Tax Revenue paid by Cox Communications. The RVTV budget amount paid by each locality is based on the percentage of Cox Customers located in each jurisdiction. Cox calculates the percentage of Subscribers (December 31, 2017) in each locality as follows: Locality 2016 Percentage 2017 Percentage City 52% 52% County 44% 44% Vinton 4% 4% Based on the above percentages, each member’s contribution to the FY2018/2019 budget of $447,525 is: Locality 2017/2018 Budget 2018/2019 Budget City $218,846 $232,713 County $185,177 $196,911 Vinton $16,834 $17,901 Total $420,857 $447,525 *In addition to the City’s share of the above budget of $447,525, the City will also pay $2,136 for closed captioning for City Council Briefings.
