Roanoke, Virginia 24011
Dear Mayor Taylor and Members of Council:
This letter is written on behalf of Mr. William P. Vinyard, Jr., to request your
consideration of a proposal to adjust the boundary line between the City of Roanoke, the
Town of Vinton, and the County of Roanoke. The area specifically affected is west of
Berkley Road on the southerly side of the Norfolk and Western Railway.
Mr. Vinyard owns a parcel of land which straddles the boundary line in this
area. He has subdivided the parcel on the Vinton side of the boundary for the purpose
of developing single family residential dwellings. The subdivision has been duly recorded
in the Roanoke County records as Berkley Court. I enclose for your information a copy
of the plat. You will note that the boundary line between the city and the town runs
across the northerly end of Mr. Vinyard's property, effectively cutting in half proposed
lots 4, 5 and 6 and reducing, somewhat, lot 3, as well.
The property has been platted to include these four lots) however, as you
can see, the location of the boundary line renders three of them unbuildable. Therefore,
pursuant to the authority granted by the Code of Virginia, §15.1-1031.1 et seq., allowing
relocation of boundary lines by agreement between political subdivisions, Mr. Vinyard
requests that the City Council pass an ordinance authorizing and directing the Mayor to
enter into an agreement with the Town of Vinton and the County of Roanoke to relocate

Dear Members of Council:
Subject: Emergency Procurement - Change Order for
Renovated Work at Falling Creek Filter Plant
The City has a contract with Acorn Construction Company for renovation
work at Falling Creek Filter Plant in the amount of $1,350,921.92. The
contract is substantially complete; however, additional work needs to be
performed to effectively control the treatment process. The major item of
additional work is purchasing and installing two valves, with
readers/printers, to control the flow rate.
The total change order will be in an amount not to exceed $24,514.00 and
take approximately 10 weeks due to the delivery time on the valves. Timing is
critical as we are approaching spring high demand flows. $18,274.00 of the
anticipated change order is due to the equipment which is propriety equipment.
The remaining costs are reasonable; however, we have determined it to be in
the City's interest to negotiate a "price not to exceed" rather than a lump
sum price.
This is to advise Council that I have authorized the project manager to
tall the contractor to proceed, under the provisions of Section 41 of the City
Charter dealing with emergency procurememt, as soon as the precise details of
the change order are resolved and committed to writing.
Final details of the change order will be presented to Council at a
later date for ratification.

Re: Regional Drug Prosecutor; Lease Agreement between City and

Dear Melvin:
Thank you for your letter of November 18, 1991, regarding the
proposed extension of the lease agreement between the City and
Crystal Tower Building Corporation for the period of January 1,
1992 through December 31, 1992, for office space now being used by
the Regional Drug Prosecution Program.
I have reviewed the lease form and it appears to be consistent
with past leases which we have approved as to form.
In order to have the lease executed, it is necessary that the
lease be submitted to City Council's Water Resources Committee for
consideration and recommendation to City Council for final
approval. In this regard, I have enclosed a copy of one of the
most recent letters from the Commonwealth Attorney's Office to Mr.
Herbert as City Manager requesting authorization of the additional
one year lease.
Upon authorization by Roanoke City Council, we will be pleased
to have the lease document executed and returned to you.
Please let me know if you have any comments or questions or if
I may be of further assistance in this matter.

WHEREAS, easy access of juveniles to firearms has also
resulted in accidental and suicidal deaths;

governments of the Commonwealth from regulating the sale and
possession of firearms;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of

giving a pistol to a minor. City Council further urges the General
Assembly to make such offense a felony and to extend the crime to
sale of any firearm, not just a pistol, to a minor.

legislation, such as House Bill 468, increasing the penalty for
possession of a firearm on school property from a Class 1

Re: Juvenile involvement with firearms
Dear Mrs. Bowles and Gentlemen:
Vice-Mayor Musser has requested that I conduct an immediate
review of the issue of juvenile involvement with firearms which
appears to be increasing in Virginia and nationally. In this
regard, I will report to City Council as quickly as possible as to
the authority of City Council to regulate firearm sale and
possession and, in particular, sale and possession by juveniles.
I am transmitting with this report a resolution supporting
certain helpful legislation introduced at the 1992 Session of the
General Assembly. House Bill 1039, introduced by Delegate
Cunningham and others, increases the penalty for selling or giving
a pistol to a minor from a Class 4 misdemeanor to a Class 1
misdemeanor. I recommend that City Council support this bill
although I further recommend that the bill should be strengthened
by providing for a felony penalty. Furthermore, the bill should be
broadened to prohibit the sale of any firearm, not just a pistol,
to a minor. House Bill 468, introduced by Delegate Forehand,
increases the penalty for possession of a firearm on school
property from a Class 1 misdemeanor to a Class 6 felony. I
recommend that City Council support this legislation.
By adoption of the attached resolution, which I recommend,
City Council can go on record as supporting House Bill 475 and
House Bill 468. I look forward to reporting to City Council with
respect to the broader issue of firearm regulations as quickly as
possible.
With kindest personal regards, I am
Sincerely ye
Wilburn C. bling, Jr.

Dear Mr. Herbert:
I am attaching copy of a communication from Mr. Jim Hopkins, General Manager,
Piedmont Aviation Services, Inc., requesting that Council reduce aircraft personal
property tax to $. 50 per $100.00 of assessed value, which communication was before
the Council of the City of Roanoke at a regular meeting held on Monday, February 3,
1992.
On motion, duly seconded and unenlmously adopted, the method of taxing airplanes
based at the Roanoke Regional Airport was referred to you for study, report and
recommendation to Council. As a part of your study, you were requested to obtain
input from the Roanoke Regional Airport Commission as to how the new method of
taxation will affect economic activity at the airport.

Dear Mrs. Bowles and Gentlemen:
The recent recession has made a direct impact on the
aircraft industry. You can imagine my concern when I was
advised last December that a change in the assessment of
aircraft in 1992 would increase the owner's taxes as much
as 400%.
Under the old method aircraft were assessed based on the
cost of the aircraft at 60% the first year, 50% the
second year, 40% the third year, 30% the fourth year, and
20% every year after. The rate was $3.45 per hundred
dollars.
Under the new assessment process aircraft will still be
taxed at the same rate, however, assessments will be
based on the low wholesale value. The fact that aircraft
hold their value very well means that the owners' tax
burden will increase tremendously.
As an example, an aircraft that was purchased ten years
ago for $116,000 would be taxed $800 under the old plan.
Under the new plan the same aircraft that would now have
a low wholesale value of $95,000 would be taxed $3,278.
This is an increase of over 400%. And this example is
for only small aircraft. Imagine the increase for multi-
million dollar aircraft.
Because of this new assessment, one aircraft owner has
already moved to Blacksburg. This owner purchased a
large amount of fuel, rented hangar space and had his
maintenance performed in Roanoke.
Seeing the negative effects of such a tax in October of
1991, Loudon County reduced their rate to .01 cent per
hundred and have already seen increased aviation
business.

The Honorable Mayor Taylor
and Members of the Roanoke City Council
Please also consider the fact that less air traffic means
less operations to air traffic control and jeopardizes
our Radar Service Area, an important factor to air
passenger service at the Roanoke Regional Airport.
Realizing that you can do nothing about the method of
assessment, I request that you reduce the aircraft
personal property tax to .50 cents per hundred. This
would not only keep the tax at the normal cost but would
also provide incentive to new aircraft owners to base in
Roanoke.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

GENERAL AVIATION ASSOCIATION OF ROANOKE
SOME RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE OPERATION AND
DEVELOPMENT OP ROANOKE REGIONAL AIRPORT
January 19~2
The General Aviation Association Of RoanokeZ and Chapter
646 of the Experimental Aircraft Association~ as well as
other user groups have been critical of the steps the
"new" airport administration has been taking in order to
develop the general aviation portion of the airport. While
we believe that the Airport Commission acts in what it
perceives is in the best interest of its constituents~ we
also believe that the Commission is ill informed and
poorly led on many airport matters.
We also voice our concern that a number of airport tenants
may loose their facilities under the bidding procedures
that have yet to be announced..We are of the opinion that
any one who wishes to do business on the airport should be
allowed to do so as long as present businesses and tenants
are not displaced and the appropriate Federal licences are
obtained. The Commission should not establish artificial
barriers which effectively bar certain kinds of small
businesses no matter how qualified they are, as it does
In order to develop Roanoke Regional Airport to its
fullest~ we are of the opinion that the following steps
should be taken.
1. The Airport Commission should establish and utilize
two committees to provide knowledgable input to the
Commission on aviation matters. These would be the;
A. The Airline and Terminal Operation Committee
and
B. The General General Aviation Advisory
Committee ( already established, but not
used )
Both bodies would consist of unpaid valley
citizens with known expertise on aviation and related
business matters. Their function would be to give the
Commission advice and counsel so it does not operate in
isolation.
2. Establish an annual budget for airport operations and
capital expenditures consistent with anticipated revenue.
The budget and revenue figures should be made freely
available to the public as an ongoing part of Commission
meetings.
In spite of what the Commission and its r~presentatives
say~ the lemdership of these orgmnizatiens has the
distinct impression that their efforts mre an irritant 'to
th~ Sommission which would prefer not to be bothered and
wants them to go away. This will mot occur.
Lastly and most importantly, we need a Commission that
truely has an interest in the airport, the whole
commt~nity and one that is willing to enter into a dialog
~ith its users. A 30 minute predigested meeting once a
month is simply not adequate. The airport exists in order
to service the community. Therefore. it should provide
service to the user groups of the community. This should
b~ done willingly on the part of the airport Commission
~his has not always occurred in the past, but it is some-
thing to work for in the future. As membsrs of the
community we demand it.

IN PdE: RESTORATION OF ALDIE MILL
On October 20th the Virginia Outdoor's Foundation announced its
plans for the restoration of Aldie Mill. It is estimated that
the entire project could take as long as three years at a
cost of nearly $1 million. Funds for the project are to be
raised through private sources.
IN RE: ROUTE 28 TASK FORCE STEERING COMMITTEE UPDATE
Ms. Betty Tatum reported that the Route 28 Task Force Steering
Co~ittee had a very successful meeting on October 20th.
Sub-committees were established to pursue obtaining private
funding for planning design and service road concepts. The
next meeting is scheduled tentatively for December 13.
IN RE: AIRCRAFT TAX/CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
Mr. Bolen said the Commissioner of the Revenue and the Treasurer
have asked the County to explore the possibility of getting
State enabling law that would allow the County to remove the tax
entirely thus eliminating the administrative costs of assessing
and billing the nominal tax on aircraft.
This item is on the agenda to report that a Constitutional
amendment would be required to effect this change.
IN RE: REPORT ON IDB & SALE LEASEBACK FEDEP~%L LEGISI~ATION
Ms. Memory Porter, Legislative Liaison, said the reason this
legislation has been brought to the Board's attention is that
the House of Representatives will be acting shortly on an
o~unibus Tax Reform Act which has incorporated at least eleven
separate tax measures. Companion m~asures are being considered
in the U.S. Senate. Two of these measures are of particular
interest to Loudoun County. One deals with the sale/leaseback
arrangements of tax-exempt entities (Valley Bank Building) and
another would place a severe restriction on the use of
industrial development bonds.
Ms. Porter suggested Loudoun County try to make contact with
Senator Warner's office and explain our position on the Old
Valley Bank Building.
IN RE: C~LE COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION/STATUS REPORT
The Board received a status report on the construction progress
to datc from Ken Cha~berlain, General Manager of Cable
Co~unications Corporation.
IN RE: MINUTES
Mr. Brownell moved approval of the minutes of the October 3,
October 6, and October 17 meetings. This motion passed 6-0-2,
Supervisors Raflo and Henrickson absent.
IN ~: ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
Mr. Raflo made reference to the increase of $11,183.34 in the
contract with Kaufman and Associates. This was needed to
include design services for the Department of Economic
Development's Tourism division. Mr. Raflo said this amount
is far in excess of what is needed. Mr. Raflo moved to pull
this item out of the Administrator's Report for special
consideration. This motion passed 6-0-2, Supervisors Henrickson and
Sample absent.

meeting to commemorate this historic occasion in appreciation for
a job well done.
Mrs. Tatum's motion passed 8-0.
IN RE: BOARD COMMENTS
Mr. Dodson commended the Middleburg Lions Club for their continuing
support of Mercer Park, and requested that a Resolution of Appre-
ciation be prepared for the Lions Club in recognition of their past
contributions to Mercer Park and recent contribution of $1,500
towards building the Fitness Trail, for which the County also received
a grant from the Virginia Department of Outdoor Recreation.
Mr. Dodson also commented on the hazardous traffic situation at
Gilbert's Corner, and asked that the representative of the Highway
Department who will be present at the June 18, 1984 Board meeting
specifically address the problem with regard to the following points:
1. To explain the reasoning behind the current traffic signal
operation, which appears to operate inconsistently;
2. To take short term steps to help correct the dangerous
situation;
To bring the Board up to date on the Highway Department's
schedule on the overall improvement of the intersection,
which the Board understands has been funded and is to be
constructed in the very near future.
Mr. Bird commented on the achievement of the Park View High School
"Patriots" in winning ~he State AA Baseball Championship, and asked
that a Proclamation be considered during the Amendments portion of
the meeting.
Mrs. Tatum expressed her concern over the status of Rt. 28, and
stated that the Board must again stress the need for improvement
to this roadway. In view of the fact that the Ninth District
Engineer will be present at the June 18, 1984 Board meeting, Mrs.
Tatum requested that this matter be placed on the agenda of that
meeting. The Rt. 28 Task Force and the Blue Ribbon Committee should
be invited to the meeting, and the Board should review all the options
open to it in order to stress to Richmond the very critical need for
attention to the problem. Additionally, the full Board should con-
sider going to Richmond, taking members of the Blue Ribbon Committee,
the Rt. 28 Task Force, and our Legislative Delegation, to meet with
Governor Robb on this matter.
IN RE: APPROPRIATIONS P~ESOLUTION/FY 1984-85/SETTING THE TAX RATE
Mrs. Kavanagh moved approval of FY 1984/85 property tax rates as
found on Table A and approval of budget adjustment #4240 establishing
County appropriations for FY 1984/85. (BA 4240 and Table A are in-
cluded at the end of these Minutes).
Mr. Bird stated that Board members have made their positions on
this budget clear during budget workshops and other meetings, and
that he will vote against the budget for reasons previously stated.
Mrs. Kavanagh said that she also had misgivings and concerns about
certain items in the budget and items which were not included in the
budget, but in her view this is the best compromise which can be
achieved with regard to the needs of the County.
Mr. Lambert stated that he was disappointed in the budget process,
MINUTES
JUNE 4, 1984

and will vote against the budget because he feels it is higher than
necessary.
Mr. Stockman stated that he also will vote against the budget, pri-
marily because approximately $5,000,000 in carryover revenue is
being used for current accounts with no assurances that these funds
will be available for next year.
Mrs. Tatum commented that she viewed the budget process and setting
the new tax rate as a very serious matter, and that the budget work-
shops had provided ample opportunity for Board members to ask ques-
tions. Mrs. Tatum recommended that next year it be clearly indi-
cated that some departments have presented their budgets to the
County Administrator; also, that the budget process could be
started earlier and the public hearing on the budget be held ear-
lier in the process.
Mrs. Kavanagh's motion then passed 5-3, Mr. Dodson, Mrs. Tatum, Mrs.
Kavanagh, Mr. Raflo, and Mr. BrOwnell voting Yes; Mr. Bird, Mr.
Stockman, and Mr. Lambert voting No.
Mr. Brownell commented that the budget process had been a democratic
one, and had demonstrated that no one person or philosophy dominates
this Board. He is satisfied that this is a responsible and reason-
able budget with adequate financial povisions to carry the County
through the year and to project a fiscally responsible government
which will be of great help in obtaining a favorable interest rate
when the County has to go into the bond market.
IN RE: FY 1984-85 YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Mr. B~en advised the Board that Rodney Follin, Youth Services Coordi-
nator, and Jerry Pelkey, Chairman of the Youth Advisory Commission,
were in attendance to discuss the Youth Development Plan for 1984-85.
Mr. Pelkey commented on the membership of the Commission and des-
cribed the process of putting this plan together.
Mrs. Tatum moved approval of the Youth Development Plan as submitted
by the Advisory Com~ission on Youth and Office of Youth Services,
summarized as follows:
Coordinate the delivery of services to youth and families
by public and private youth serving agencies through the
sponsorship of the Youth Services Interagency Committee.
Conduct a program of public education designed to provide
information to adults and, particularly, youth regarding
youth needs and concerns and locally available services.
Make technical assistance (i.e. information sharing, fund-
raising, grant development, evaluation and research design,
and data provision) available to private sector non-profit
family and youth serving agencies in Loudoun County in order
to maintain these agencies as viable family service pro-
viders and effective youth advocates.
Provide positive one-to-one relationships between troubled
youth and adult and older youth volunteers through the Big
Friends Program.
5.a. Provide summer employment opportunities for youth through
the completion of the 1984 Sum~er Job Match Program.
5.b.Provide summer employment opportunities for youth through
