BACKGROUND:
The Property & Buildings Committee of the Board of Supervisors have been reviewing the required repairs needed
at the Blairs Community Center, particularly the roof. At the March 26, 2013 meeting of the Property & Buildings
Committee, the committee made a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors to do an analysis on the roof;
however, pictures and material brought in of items that had just occurred at the building where the ceiling had
falling in three (3) places during a basketball game.
DISCUSSION:
Staff immediately went to a local contractor to get a price to do a repair for the damage to stop water from coming
into the building where the ceiling damages had occurred. Attached hereto is a cost for those emergency repairs at
the Blairs facility.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending that the Board of Supervisors authorize the approval of the current emergency repairs to the
soffit and fascia board along 95 feet of a southwest face of the gymnasium building. These funds are available in
the budget under Capital Outlay for repairs.

BACKGROUND:
Pittsylvania County applied for a Homeland Security and Emergency Service Grants with the Commonwealth
of Virginia for a generator for the Moses Building in order for it to be additional backup for the 911 Center.
DISCUSSION:
Attached hereto, you will find a memorandum from Otis S. Hawker, Assistant County Administrator for
Operations, designating the bids that were received for the generator and the required wall to separate the
generator from the public and to reduce noise output when the generator is running. Unfortunately, this cost
is over the amount of money set aside for the generator and the construction and installation by $19,080. In
order to correct this, we are recommending the Board of Supervisors transfer $14,100 from the Sheriffs
Local Match in Grants and $5,000 from the E -911 Communication Center Grant's line to the 250 Account —
Backup Generator -Moses Building.
Staff recommends the Board of Supervisors award the contract to Elliott Electric as the low bidder at
$119,080 and to authorize the County Administrator to transfer the necessary grants match from the Sheriff
and the E -911 Center to the Grants line for the Standby Generator.

MEMORANDUM
To: William D. Sleeper, County Administrator
From: Otis S. Hawker, Assistant County Administratorz4'
Date: March 27, 2013
Subject: Backup Generator for Sheriff's Department — Moses Building
We have received competitive bids for the backup generator for the Moses Building with
Elliott Electric having the low bid of $97,580. While working with the Sheriffs
Department and the engineers to prepare the bid specifications for this project, I requested
an add alternate be included for a retaining wall to place around the generator, as well as
service lighting and receptacles for maintenance purposes.
The generator will be located in the courtyard of the Moses Building for the general
safety of the public, the aesthetics of the courtyard, the security of the equipment and the
deflection of the noise from the courthouse, serious consideration should be given to the
add alternate of $21,500.
The bid, currently at $19,080, is over budget with the add alternate. To add this at a later
date due to complaints and problems as a separate contract will probably be higher.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact my
office.

Amusement Device Inspection by Private Inspectors 1 04 -01 -2013

Alternative amusement device inspection process.

carnival or fair ride)

INFORMATION:
The Virginia Board of Housing and Community Development has the authority to develop and implement
regulations pertaining to the construction, maintenance, operation and inspection of Amusement Devices. In
accordance with the Code of Virginia, local building inspection departments are responsible for the inspection of
amusement devices (Carnival or Fair rides). The Code of Virginia allows the local governing body to authorize
inspections for amusement devices to be performed by persons who are not employees of the local governing body,
provided those inspectors are certified by the Virginia Board of Housing and Community Development.
DISCUSSION:
Each year, the Pittsylvania County Building Inspections Department performs amusement device inspections
for each device located at the Danville - Pittsylvania County Fairgrounds. These inspections typically take two
inspectors 2 -2 1/2 days or longer to complete. Due to a recent retirement, Pittsylvania County currently has one
certified amusement device inspector. Future inspections by County staff would require training and
certification of a second inspector, which may not be economically justified for inspections which are typically
only conducted once per year. Past amusement device permitting fees have not covered the actual costs of
having two inspectors on the site for the time required to complete the inspection process.
The Pittsylvania County Building Official has recommended that future amusement device inspections be
conducted by independent or private amusement device inspectors, who are in full compliance with State
certification and licensing requirements. Amusement device operators would be required to submit third party
inspector credentials to the County before obtaining a permit and inspection records will also have to be
submitted. The Code of Virginia specifies that when a private inspector is used, the per device permitting fee,
payable to the County, shall be reduced by 50 %.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board approve the alternative amusement device inspection process utilizing certified
private inspectors at the required 50% reduced permit fee, as authorized by the Code of Virginia, §36 -98.3 and in
accordance with the Virginia Administrative Code, 13 VAC 5- 31 -75.

January 9, 2013
TO: William D. Steeper, County Administrator
FROM: Steven M. Bowman, Fire Marshal /Building Official
SUBJECT: Amusement Device Inspection
In accordance with the Code of Virginia, the local building department within a locality is responsible for amusement device (ride)
inspections. Each year, the Pittsylvania County Building Inspections Department performs amusement device inspections for each
device located at the Danville - Pittsylvania County Fairgrounds the week prior to the Fair opening date. These inspections typically
take two inspectors 2 -2 '/2 days or longer to complete. Based on the facts listed below, my proposal at this time is for future
amusement device inspections to be conducted at the Fairgrounds by independent or private amusement device inspectors at no cost to
Pittsylvania County.
• Fees: Throughout the years, Pittsylvania County has increased building inspection and amusement device fees by varying
percentages with little or no adjustment to the amusement device base fee schedule. At this time, the current fees charged by
Pittsylvania County for enforcement of the required amusement device inspections are below the maximum amounts allowed
by the State of Virginia. In 2012, the fees collected by Pittsylvania County for the 2012 Fair equaled approximately 62% of
the total amount permitted to be collected by the State of Virginia.
• Labor Cost: In 2012, the amusement device fees collected did not offset the labor cost for two inspectors which resulted in a
loss.
• Personnel: At this time, Pittsylvania County has one certified amusement device inspector as one has retired. Future
inspections will require the training and certification of a second inspector. From a cost versus benefit standpoint, the
additional expense to train and certify an inspector may not be economicallyjustifiable for inspections that are conducted for
a limited time on an annual basis.
• Possible Litigation: The Building Inspections Department received a FOIA request in 2012 from a legal firm in reference to
an alleged injury that occurred from an amusement ride at the Fairgrounds. No report was on file for any reported injury and
the outcome of the incident is unknown at this time.
Given the facts listed above and the economic climate with tight budgets in each county department, I feel it is prudent to review this
issue at this time. Section 36 -98.3 of the Code of Virginia gives the local governing body the authority to use private inspectors
provided they have Virginia Amusement Device Certification. The use of private inspectors requires the inspections fees to be reduced
by 50% for the permit cost.
My proposal is as follows:
The fairground operators will be notified in advance to obtain and bear all costs for private or independent amusement device
inspectors with Virginia certification to conduct all required amusement device inspections. The fairground operators will be required
P65
to submit inspector documentation and credentials to the Building Inspections Department for verification before obtaining a
Fairgrounds permit. The Fairgrounds permit will be issued at a 50% reduction due to the use of independent inspectors. Upon
verification, the approved inspectors will be required to submit amusement device inspection reports to the Building Inspections
Department for each required amusement device inspection with all deficiencies noted and corrections verified before the opening
date of the Fair.
This proposal, if approved, will produce a positive income from the inspection fees due to the reduced labor cost. The Building
Inspections Department will still conduct a site inspection of the Fairgrounds premises and buildings, less amusement devices, prior to
the opening date of the Fair.
Please contact me with any questions you may have on my proposal.
Respectfully,
Steven M. Bowman
Fire Marshal/Building Official

BACKGROUND:
The Royal Flush is a mobile septic holding tank boat that pumps out septic from boats on Smith Mountain
Lake. It is operated through a partnership with the Virginia Department of Health and the Smith Mountain
Lake Association.
The Virginia Department of Health wants to get out of owning and operating the boat and has requested the
Smith Mountain Lake Association to take over; however, if grant funds are sent to maintain the operation of
this boat, then the Tri -Lake Administrative Commission (TLAC) needs to take title and operate the boat with
funding from the Smith Mountain Lake Association (SMLA). Attached hereto are memorandums from the
TLAC Board meeting to explain to the Board the operation and cost of this boat.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff submits this to the Board of Supervisors for their review and consideration.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors
FROM: TLAC Board of Directors
THROUGH: Mr. Dan Sleeper, Pittsslvania County Administrator, TLAC Executive Committee
DATE: March 13, 2013
SUBJECT: "Royal Flush" and the Mobile Septic Holding Tank Pumpout Program
Starting in 2001, the Smith Mountain Lake Association and the Virginia Department of Health (VDH)
have had a Memorandum of Understanding to operate a Septic Pump -Out boat and two trucks for land
based pump -outs. VDH has historically used the grant funds to pay the personnel and then 75% of the
other operating costs which totaled $6,645 in 2010. VDH paid $4,984 and SMLA paid $1,661.
VDH no longer wishes to be involved in the program and desires to transfer assets and grant funding to
a governmental entity. TLAC has been proposed as the Administrative entity to take over the program.
VACo Risk Management has been consulted about covering the property and liability insurance for the
program since TLAC would carry the Counties' sovereign immunity protection. Item # 12 on Page 3 of
Attachment A outlines SMLA's expectations of TLAC while Item #11 on Page 2 outlines SMLA's agreed
to role. Attachment B was prepared by TLAC staff and is intended to answer additional questions that
the Board members may have.
VDH indicates that the program may be dissolved unless transferred to another entity. TLAC has been
suggested because it has the Administrative, payroll, and audit oversight already in place through the
fiscal agent relationship with Bedford County. The obvious negative is the certainty of future grant
funding is unknown. SMLA has indicated that they are willing to accept those expenses not covered by
the grant if TLAC will accept the administrative oversight and ownership.
If the three Counties believe this service is a critical component on Smith Mountain Lake, the Executive
Committee recommends that a Memorandum of Understanding be developed with SMLA and possibly
Fert un College to continue the program.
P71
Attachment A
March, 2013 - The Smith Mountain Lake Association has provided the following information
regarding the program. PLD
Smith Mountain Lake Association Royal Flush Program
1) Background What the program includes
1. One pump -out boat that travels the main body of the lake to provide on -water
pump -out services
2. Two pick -up trucks equipped with manual pump -out containers to provide
services to boats permanently docked which are not able to or choose not to
access a land based marina pump -out facility
2) Other helpful background information
Data collected by the American Electric Power Co. (AEP) in 2002 for their then
proposed Shoreline Management Plan shows that there was an average of 750
boats on the lake during a normal summer boating season day. The count was over
2100 boats on one of the days during the 4th of July holiday weekend.
3) When did it start? 2001
a. In 2000 TLAC identified the opportunity to utilize Clean Vessel Act grant monies
to protect the lake.
Basic, short MOU with VA DOH — including Period of Performance, Scope of Work,
Terms and Conditions, and Compensation
4) Program Benefits —
a. Visibility of TLAC working to protect SML
b. Protection of SML ecology / diminished threat of a spill - reduces the introduction
of excessive nitrogen and chemicals into SML waters
c. Protection of water supply
d. Education of the community (including Ferrum affiliation)
e. Protection of tourism industry
f. Protection of real estate industry
g. Revenue generated by SML
h. Ensure Bedford, Pittsylvania and Franklin counties remain attractive to
businesses and private land owners
5) Budget — How much has been spent and source of funds for last several years?
2010 Expenses:
a. Insurance: $3000.
b. Storage /Slip: $1100.
c. Registration: $25.
d. Scheduled Maintenance: $500.
C:\ Users \rflippen \AppData \Local \Microsoft \Windows \Temporary Internet
Files\ Content. Outlook \XLEBFRY1 \AttachmentA.doc 1
P72
e. Advertising /Marketing: $600.
f. Misc. (cleaning supplies, gloves, telephone, etc.) : $700.
g. Student Monitoring: $720.
6) SMLA involvement
a. Until 2010, SMLA managed the program in conjunction with Ferrum College.
Ferrum students were interviewed by Ferrum staff and hired to work the boat and
trucks. The partnership managed the training and scheduling of students. SMLA
also managed the storage, equipment and maintenance of the pump -out boat. In
2011 VA DOH hired a supervisor who managed the Ferrum employees. In 2012,
VA DOH decided they did not wish to repair the existing Royal Flush boat and
that they would take direct control of the operation using a borrowed boat. It was
intended that this would last for one year only.
7) Source of Federal /State funds
a. Federal Clean Vessel Act grant which covers 75% of costs
8) VA DOH position as related to their desire to transfer the program elsewhere
The state prefers to focus their administrative efforts on marina - based, non - portable
pump -out programs Clean Vessel Act grant projects. VA DOH also wants to cease
detailed management of the project. Their objective is to subcontract the entire
operation to a local entity, preferable a local government agency but SMLA would be
acceptable to them (unfortunately, SMLA cannot accept the entire responsibility).
9) Reliability projection on funds moving forward
A rough estimate of future operating cost would be $60,000 /year. Capital
investments for a new boat and purchase of the pickup trucks, plus associated

Memo
To: TLAC Board of Directors
From: Pam Dinkle, Lake Management and Project Coordinator
Date: March 12, 2013
Re: Royal Flush SMLA/TLAC Cooperative Program Proposal
Please note that we are currently awaiting a soft approval from the Virginia Department of
Health (VDH) for the SMLA's proposal for this year's septic pumpout boat program. An update
will be provided at the Board meeting.
In anticipation of additional questions from the Board following your review of the SMLA's
proposal (attachment A), the following information is provided.
Historical:
Over ten years ago, this office (then called the Smith Mountain Lake Policy Advisory Board)
worked toward the purpose of getting a septic pumpout boat on Smith Mountain Lake through
an opportunity with the Clean Vessel Act grant funds. The project/grant funds were approved
and a tentative agreement was entered into with the VDH. However, before the agreement was
ratified, both Bedford and Franklin County Boards of Supervisors indicated that they did not
wish for TLAC /SMLPAB to handle this program. Following the June 8, 2000 TLAC /SMLPAB
Board meeting, the agreement with VDH was terminated. Subsequently, the Smith Mountain
Lake Association (SMLA) noted their interest in handling a septic pumpout program and entered
into an agreement with VDH.
Potential Costs:
The SMLA proposes to enter into an agreement with VDH for the purchase of a new boat at a
cost of $87,000. It is anticipated that the grant funds will provide 75% ($65,250) and the SMLA
will provide the remaining 25% ($21,750). SMLA is hopeful that TLAC will enter into a Memo of
Understanding (MOU) with them for this program after they have purchased the boat. Since this
boat will be purchased with Federal funds it will be necessary for the boat to be utilized for the
initial purpose for a certain timeframe. VDH has indicated that five years would be long enough.
TLAC will accept ownership of the boat if a cooperative program is established The following
estimates are for five years.
The remaining costs (excluding the boat) of SMLA's proposed program for 2013 is: $60,523
(SMLA's 25% would be $15,131)
If the program were to remain the same (number of hours, etc.) for the next four years, the total
costs for the program to run five years would be: $456,477 (25% - $114,120 and 75% -
$342,357.75). This includes a potential 10% increase in costs each year to cover potential
increases and repair costs. Note that this does not include the purchase of a new truck or two,
which could potentially be necessary.
P76
Attachment B
It must be noted that there is no certainty that the grant funding will continue to be available in
future years, or if it is available, that it will be at the same level. Although the SMLA could
modify the hours of availability, in order to meet the requirements that the new boat stay in
service for five years, a five year commitment would be necessary from the SMLA to pay any
and all costs of the Royal Flush program that are not covered by the grant. The SMLA has
indicated that they are willing to make this commitment.
Level of TLAC Staff Work:
We recognize from other projects that no matter how such an agreement looks on paper, TLAC
staff time will be required for a cooperative project such as this. Based on our knowledge of this
program and the legal /governmental requirements for certain aspects of handling such a
program, we anticipate that our staff's level of work would be limited to no more than 10% of the
hours of one Senior Administrative Associate throughout the boating season and 5% of the
Lake Management and Project Coordinator's time throughout the year. Additionally, Bedford
County's Fiscal Management would process the payroll for the seasonal employees.
Committee:
Based on discussions with our Attorney, if TLAC is to enter into such a cooperative program it
will be necessary for TLAC to establish an active Committee to oversee the program. Any
volunteers from the SMLA working on the program would need to be members of that
Committee.
Cash Flow:
Invoices for the program will be processed through TLAC. The SMLA would need to provide
their funds to TLAC as a contribution. This means that TLAC will expend funds in advance and
then the reimbursement request of the appropriate funds from VDH will be made. To assist with
potential cash flow difficulties, we could include in the MOU the stipulation that the SMLA would
provide their anticipated portion in advance of each year's pumpout season.
County Administrators /Interim County Administrator:
The SMLA has presented this proposal to Mr. Huff, Mr. Sleeper and Mr. Rogers. Each has
indicated that this cooperative program could only be considered if the SMLA is willing to
commit to handling all of the expenses not covered by the grant through VDH as well as the
tasks indicated in Attachment A (page 2, #11). If approved by the Counties, a MOU would need
to be developed that protects the Counties and assures them that the program will be fully
funded by the SMLA (with or without grant funds from VDH) for the next five years.
Other Questions:
SMLA representatives familiar with this program will be in attendance at the Board meeting to
answer any additional questions you may have.

RE: Required Analyses and Preliminary Engineering Report
Of Cherrystone and Roaring Fork Dams
Dear Mrs. Bowman,
Town Council
JANET BISHOP
WILLIAM BLACK
C. B. CUNDIFF
WILLIAM WIEBKING
ROBERT B. THOMPSON
ANDREW WALL
As you may be aware there have been changes in the State Dam regulation throughout the, State.
Since the 2009 evaluation of the town dams mandated under the Virginia Office of Dam Safety,
Dept of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) Impounding Structure Regulations, the town has
been operating under a "Conditional - Permit ". Conditional permits are issued when a dam is not
an imminent threat but where deficiencies have been identified. In the case of the town's two
licensed dams, the issue identified in the 2009 dam break studies indicated spillways undersized
for the flood size required by the state regulations. There were no other deficiencies identified in
the dams.
At the end of the last permit cycle, the town requested a renewal of the conditional certificate on
both dams for another year. The state issued a 6 month extension and asked for a Preliminary
Engineering Report (PER) addressing the spillway issue be submitted by March 2013. Failure to
comply with the permit conditions could possibly result in fines by the state. The extent and
severity of enforcement is not known but DCR has hired a lawyer on staff in the last couple years
and the attitude toward enforcement has hardened.
In 2010 the Town spent $58,666.00, as indicated in a letter to Mr. Sleeper dated January 27,
2011, for the required analyses of Cherrystone and Roaring Fork Dams, Inundation Mapping
and an Emergency Action Plan which was required by the State (DCR). Now the State is
requiring the Town to do the PER for the spillways. Council voted to have Dewberry
Engineers, Inc. to do this at a cost of $29,500.00. As to date the Town has had to bear all the
expense for these studies and PER reports. As you are aware the County owns half of the water
P80
that the Town water plant produces and this water supply is not only critical to the Town but to
the County as well for the economical growth and jobs for this area.
The Town of Chatham recognizes its responsibilities as the licensee regarding maintenance of
the Dams. We are not asking for any cost associated with maintenance. However, the one -time
study required by the regulations and the prelnninary engineering report are not maintenance
cost and should be borne equitably by all who benefit from the availability of the water
impounded in these reservoirs. Therefore the Town of Chatham is respectfully requesting your
positive consideration to help with, at least, the most recent cost of the PER of $29,500.00 by
paying half of this cost.
forward to meeting with you or any of the County representatives to discuss this in detail. Should
you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. Also it is our hope that through a
partnership of this regional water supply we can see continued growth for this area.

Memo for Record
January 15, 2012
Subject: Town of Chatham Dams — Meeting with US Natural Resource Conservation Service
(MRCS)
Attendees: Edmund Giles — Town Manager, Town of Chatham
Joe Rogers, PE
Dan Sleeper — Pittsylvania County Administrator
Steve Cassada — NRCS, Pittsylvania County Conservationist
Matt Lyons — NRCS, Dam Safety Coordinator, State of Virginia
Purpose: Discuss Virginia DCR Dam Safety Office comments regarding conditional certification
for town dams
1. Mr. Rogers reviewed the background of the recent evaluations of the two dams licensed
by Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), Office of Dam Safety.
Required dam break studies indicate auxiliary spillways for each dam to be undersized
for current criteria. It was noted that both dams are in good condition and show no
structural defects and that the only current issue is auxiliary spillway capacity. Each dam
was well designed and met all criteria at the time they were designed by NRCS (then The
US Soil Conservation Service — SCS) and that the issue results from a change in state
flood criteria and not a design error. The spillway design floor required under present
state regulations is 85% of the PMF ( probable maximum flood) for Cherrystone Dam #I
( Cherrystone) and 75% of the PMF for Cherrystone Dam 2A ( Roaring Fork) . Current
spillway capacity is estimated at about 25 % -35% of the PMF despite meeting 50% PMF
criteria at time of design. The 50% was appropriate for the dam classification at the time
of design.
2. Mr. Lyons explained the process under which the dams were designed and constructed.
Due to frequent flooding in the Cherrystone Creek watershed, local officials entered into
an agreement with NRCS for design and construction services to build two flood control
dams, one on Cherrystone Creek and one on the Roaring Fork tributary to Cherrystone.
Responsibilities of the various parties to the agreement were defined in watershed work
plan agreement. Local sponsors and signatories included the town of Chatham and the
Pittsylvania Board of Supervisors. NRCS (then SCS) provided federal funding for design
and for the flood control aspects of the dams, basically paying most of the construction
costs with local assurers being responsible for paying for real estate acquisition, water
supply storage and non —flood features. Upon completion and Operation and
P82
Maintenance Agreement was signed for each structure. The Town of Chatham was the
only signatory to this agreement. NRCS does not own the dam, they only provided
funding for design and construction (technical assistance) and, in turn, required
maintenance to their standards to protect federal taxpayer investments. It is important to
note that the NRCS agreements are independent of any subsequent requirements imposed
by the State of Virginia under the dam safety program. Basically, two governmental
entities have some jurisdiction over the dams, each independent of the other. The state's
function is public safety. However, any modifications to meet state mandates must also
be approved by NRCS. In fact, until the state developed dam safety laws in the late
1970's, the town was only responsibility to NRCS for maintenance.
3. An important point about the current situation is that while the town is responsible for
Operation and Maintenance, the issue is not really an O &M issue, it is a state regulatory
issue. There is no spillway capacity issue with NRCS at this point as they apply their
own criteria independent of the state and their hazard classification ( which determines
the size flood a spillway must pass) remains unchanged while the new state regulations
took the classification of both dams from "significant" to "high" resulting the spillway
undersize determination. Regardless, the state issues must be addressed in good faith.
4. NRCS has a dam rehabilitation program for structures they originally designed that is
active and accepting applicants. It is currently unfunded but dams are still accepted into
the program. The program potentially pays for 65% of the total project modification cost
up to 100% of the construction cost. The application process requires the same parties to
commit to the application as did the original project and the overall process and
agreements are essentially the same. Basically, the dam modifications would follow the
same process as if the project was starting from scratch. It would require a cost sharing
agreement as did the original construction. The studies would look at various options
including non - structural solutions such as buying impacted property in the floodway. Mr.
Lyons said that in the past, inclusion of a dam into the NRCS program has been a
satisfactory corrective approach for DCR.
5. Conclusions and recommendations.
a. Draining the lakes is not an option due to costs as well an adverse impact on
regional water supply. Further, such actions would increase the flooding
frequency for small storms while providing little additional protection for major
PMF) type storms which have a very long recurrence interval.
b. Regardless of the probability that NRCS will have funding to do the design
studies and take the project to construction, the Town of Chatham ( and county)
must, in the taxpayer's interest, try this approach.
P83
c. Cooperation must be obtained for the county to enter into the necessary
agreement/application. A meeting will be held with Mr. Sleeper, Supervisor
Bowman and Board Chairman Ecker as soon as practical to hopefully get a buy -
in.
d. The current DCR conditional certification condition still exists for a preliminary
design report (PDR) by mid March 2013.
e. A scope of work needs to be developed and issued to an engineering firm for
preparation of the application and the PDR as the two are linked. The engineering
firm should coordinate with NRCS, Mr. Lyons during the process. Scope needs to
be developed and approved as soon as practical. ALL costs associated with any
aspect of the work need to be tracked because they can be credited to the local
sponsor's share of any future work.
