  30. Ratification and/or Approval of Contracts, Change Orders & Agreements, Etc. – • 1. Wilderness Road Museum Proposal - Board members have been provided a contract addendum related to the TEA- 21 project in Newbern for the Wilderness Road Regional Museum. It is for Anderson & Associates to continue to complete work that is being requested by DHR and VDOT. We have built in a decent buffer within the overall grant budget and have the funds to cover this with grant money. Approval of the contract is requested.

  31. 2. Memorandum of Agreement – Big Brothers/Big Sisters School Based Program - Board members have been provided a memorandum of agreement as prepared by Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Southwest Virginia and as is also being forwarded to the School Board for their consideration.

  32. e. Personnel Changes – Board members have been providedan update from Ms. Spence of recent personnel changes.

  33. f. Eternal Flame Update – After meeting with the Eternal Flame committee, of which only 2 attended, it was recommended to proceed with the manufactured stone veneer as presented at the July Board meeting. The recommended manufactured stone comes from Centurion, has a 50 year warranty, and is less porous than most all natural stone. The committee members asked that the brownish colored rock included in the presented sample be excluded and to keep all rock gray. After following-up with several leads, staff was unsuccessful in finding suitable matches of natural rock to the Courthouse stone. Local

  34. natural rock could be used, but it would be of all types of colors, shapes, and sizes which would not be visually appealing. If a natural match could be found in a quarry, they generally do not cut stone for such a small order.

  35. g. Scheduling of a Social Gathering by Board of Supervisors - Scheduling of a time for the Board to gather at Tom’s house is requested with a suggested dates being Monday, September 12th or Monday, September 19th.

  36. h. COLA Pay Increase – At the July meeting, the Board of Supervisors tentatively concurred with the recommendation of the PSA Board to grant employees an additional one-half percent pay increase. The PSA Board took action at their August Board meeting to approve the additional one-half percent pay increase. Approval of a similar ½ percent increase for a total 2% cost of living increase for Board of Supervisors and Constitutional Officers is recommended. The additional ½ percent increase is estimated to cost $31,000.

  37. i. Opposition to Closing of Parrott and Belspring Post Offices - Joe Sheffey indicated that the Parrott and Belspring Post Offices were also slated to close and he suggests that the Board go on record as opposing these closings, using a similar letter as was provided for the New River Post Office.

  38. j. Resolution in Support of Restoration of State Funding for Aid to Localities- VACo is recommending adoption of the a resolution asking Governor McDonnell to restore the $60 million in each year of next year’s Budget Bill.

  39. k. Comp TimePayout – I would like to ask the consideration of the Board of Supervisors in granting an exception to the County’s Personnel policies allowing for a one-time financial payout rather than the accumulation of compensatory time for employees who have worked extra hours on the tornado recovery efforts and those who have filled in for those responding to the tornado situation. This additional cost is eligible for reimbursement through the Commonwealth.

  40. l. National Moment of Remembrance – Board members have been provided a resolution for a call for support of resolution SR237 “A National Moment of Remembrance at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on September 11, 2011” to stop and remember those lost in the September 11th attacks. Adoption of a similar resolution is recommended.

  41. m. The 3rd Annual Virginia Bicyclist and Pedestrian Awareness Week– Board members have been provided a website page describing educational efforts by Bike/Walk Virginia (sponsors of the Bike Virginia rides) encouraging respectful conduct by cyclists, walkers and motorists as a support for the Share the Road signage. Participation as a partner is recommended based on the existence of several Share the Road signs in Pulaski County, growing interest in cycling and as a follow-up to the Bike Virginia event this spring. Recommended participatory activities would include signing up on the web site, and the placement of flyers and posters in grocery and convenience stores.

  42. n. Realignment Resolution – Board members have been provided a resolution passed by the New River Regional Jail Authority requesting consideration to the effects on local governments and regional jail operations in any realignment of judicial circuits. While the specific proposal of concern was not adopted, reconsideration of the matter by the General Assembly is likely to occur in the 2012 General Assembly. Adoption of a similar resolution by the Board of Supervisors is recommended.
