Kern Mr. Kent Chrisman Roanoke, Virginia Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Roanoke, Virginia Dear Members of Council: Subject-. Briefing on the Proposed Fiscal Year 1992-1993 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and Budget Background: ae City of Roanoke receives an annual grant of funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) based on a formula which considers age of housing, poverty levels and other "distress" factors. The amount of this Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is closely related to how much the U.S. Congress appropriates nationwide, rather than anything that Roanoke does. Since 1974, the City of Roanoke has received approximately $32 million in CDBG funds which have been used on numerous projects in housing, economic development, community services, and public improvements. II. Current Situation: Roanoke's CDBG entitlement will be $1,899,000 for fiscal year beginning July 1, 1992, a $132,000 increase over FY 1992. To that will be added $538,000 in program income generated by the grant program from previous years. The new HUD CDBG funds, added to $461f137 unspent from previous years, will leverage an estimated $4,882,076 in additional monies from federal, state, local and private sources, for a total program scope of $7,780f213. Citizen hearings and workshops have been held January 16, and April 14, 1992 in order to obtain citizens' recommendations and to identify revitalization needs for the coming year. Public hearing results were that citizens are concerned about housing, activities for youth to combat drug abuse and neighborhood economic development, as the primary problems facing their neighborhoods. 1 63 DroDosals requesting CDBG funding totaling $6,382,235, were received by the city and reviewed. funding available totals $2,554,556· New III. Program Objectives: Thirteen (13) new projects are being recommended for funding, 27 on-going projects are recommended to have funds added to them, and five (5) projects are on-going without need for additional funds. Twenty-six (26) projects were submitted which are not being recommended for funding at this time. With 45 individual projects and activities funded in whole or in part with CDBG funds, the FY 1993 program has been designed to accomplish the following: A. Provide Adequate Housing: Rehabilitate or repair 166 houses and rental units. Assist 25 families to purchase and rehabilitate homes. Support new construction of 10 affordable houses. Prevent 550 families from becoming homeless through eviction and utility cut-off. B. Provide adequate jobs/employment 2. 3. 4. Se Provide for acquisition of property for future industrial parks ultimately to create 195 jobs. Assist in the rehabilitation of 7 downtown store fronts, reducing blight and creating 10 jobs. Provide loans to 4 small businesses, creating 25 jobs. Provide approximately 400 parking spaces downtown in support of new and expanded businesses - 75 new jobs. Provide customized job training for 60 persons, resulting in 41 jobs. TOTAL JOBS; 346 (FY 1993 jobs to be created - 91) C. Reduce instances of crime and drug abuse. 1. Youth Activities: Provide for the acquisition of expanded facilities to provide 150 youth with after- school activities. Provide operational support for 50 additional youth for after-school activities. Provide night-time supervised recreation for 2000 youth during the summer. 2. Provide staff for a coordinated, inter-agency approach to fighting back against drugs in Roanoke. Empower citizens 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. and neighborhood organizations 22 neighborhood organizations will be provided with technical assistance and staff support. 10 Mini-grants will be awarded to neighborhoods. 2 Neighborhood Development Grants will be awarded to neighborhoods. 50 families will be assisted in becoming self- sufficient. 115 pregnant teens will be assisted in having healthy babies and learning parenting skills. Maintain and improve city infrastructure One city recreation center and one neighborhood center will be made handicapped accessible. Public improvements will be provided to the Gainsboro neighborhood to enhance the neighborhood. Compliance with federal laws and regulations One city recreation center and one neighborhood center will be brought into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Promote community pride 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 11 vacant structures will be demolished. A national register historic building will be stabilized. Facades of 7 downtown buildings will be rehabilitated. 16 houses will be painted. 200 unsafe buildings will be condemned. Design assistance will be provided for 6 historic structures. 3 neighborhood plans will be printed and distributed. 6 houses will be moved or rebuilt in Gainsboro. Of the $1,650,561 in CDBG funds, from all sources, available for projects in the FY 1993 budget, $1,283,811 or 78% are expected to benefit low and moderate income persons. IV. Conclusion: The proposed CDBG budget and program is responsive to the stated concerns of the citizens of Roanoke, as well as meeting the regulatory requirements of HUD. It provides for housing improvement, business development, the creation of new job opportunities, human development, the strengthening 3 of our neighborhood organizations and adequate administrative oversight for the entire program. It will allow us to build upon the successes of the past and to meet some urgent critical needs. This CDBG program is submitted for Council's review. On May 11, 1992 City Council has scheduled an evening public hearing to receive citizens' comments. At that time, Council will be requested to authorize the City Manager to submit the 1992-1993 Statement of Objectives to the Richmond Office of the Department of Housing and Urban Development for their review.

Robert Herbert City Manager WRH:MTP Attachments cc: City Attorney Director of Finance Director of Public Works Director of Human Resources Chief of Economic Development Chief of Community Planning Building Commissioner City Engineer Grants Monitoring Administrator B:BRIEFING.RPT Office of ~:he City Manage,- April 30, 1992 To The Honorable Noel C. Taylor, Mayor and Members of Roanoke City Council Roanoke, Virginia 24011 Dear Mayor Taylor and Members of Council: Subject: Proposed Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and Budget for FY 92-93 This is a follow-up letter to one I sent you on April 14, transmitting the Draft Statement of Community Development Objectives. As you may have noted in that document, 63 proposals were submitted this year for consideration of CDBG funding. Thirty-seven proposals received a recommendation for additional funds, 8 projects will continue with funds from previous years, and 26 requests could not be funded. These 26 are summarized in Attachment B of the Draft Statement of Objectives. This is the highest number of requests yet received for CDBG funding in a given budget year. In light of that, it is understandable that this is also the highest number of un-funded requests, so the highest number of potentially disappointed applicants. Council will have an opportunity on May 11, 1992 to hear citizens' comments on this proposed budget at the scheduled public hearing. Some individuals or groups may contact council members in the meantime; therefore, I wanted to take this opportunity to expand on some of the criteria and general philosophy that go into my decision of which projects to recommend to you for funding. The primary national objective of this program from HUD's standpoint is to benefit Iow and moderate income persons -- in fact at least 70% of the overall budo~' must be used for this OUrDO~,. Therefore, we give high marks to projects that benefit the greatest number of Iow income persons. We also give points for how well a project improves slum or blighting conditions; addresses one or more of citizens' top priorities; or addresses one or more of the City's community development goals. These factors are iml~ortant to a project being recommended, but other factors enter into the decision-making process as well. The City's strength in this CDBG program often lies in being the catalyst, in being able to attract matching funds from other sources. With such a limited pool of money, we try, wherever possible, to provide the "g~. ~,, needed to make a Room 364 Municipal Building 215 Church Avenue, S W Roanoke V,rg,n~a 24011 (703) 981-2333 The Honorable Noel C. Taylor, Mayor and Members of Roanoke City Council April 30, 1992 Page Two project work; also to recycle the funds through loan repayments with or without interest. Given the clientele we are trying to serve, this is not always possible with all projects, but let me give you a recent outstanding example of where this did work. The grocery store at 19th and Melrose stood empty for a number of years while the people in that neighborhood had to travel outside the immediate area to buy groceries. TAP and the City worked together to get the store re-opened. As in many cases, the City was willing to take the first step to commit CDBG funds to the project (in the hope this would attract other investors). As is usually our policy, the City insisted that TAP had to obtain firm commitments for the balance of funds to renovate the grocery store, before they could spend any of the $85,000 in CDBG funds. Ultimately, with the help of five local banks and the Southwest Virginia Community Development Fund, the balance of the $635,000 project was raised. The City provided the cash grant to make the project work, but there were many other committed players who also put their money on the line. The result: there is now a thriving Nick's Market on that site serving a supportive neighborhood. City staff held an administrative public hearing on the CDBG budget on Tuesday, April 14. A review of proposals not recommended for funding include the following (please see Attachment B): Downtown Housing Development Tenth Street Acquisition $407,000 $149,300 Public Facilities & Imorovement.~ Caru Child Development Center Parks - Restroom Improvements Buena Vista Recreation Center Highland Park Improvements Storm Drains - Queen & Courtland Storm Drains - Campbell Avenue $160,000 $100,000 $ 8,500 $ 10,000 $ 67,276 $532,000 The Honorable Noel C.

Taylor, Mayor and Members of Roanoke City Council April 30, 1992 Page Four One example of a group of people still very disappointed that they did not receive a recommendation for funding is The Arts Place at Old First. This group is trying to preserve and renovate the old First Baptist Church near the corner of North Jefferson and Gilmer Avenue in Gainsboro. These citizens originally applied for CDBG funds from the FY 91 budget. At that time there was a promise on their part to raise a considerable sum of private money to match any CDBG funds, but other demands on the CDBG budget outweighed the needs of that project; therefore, they did not receive any CDBG funds. In FY 92 they applied again for CDBG funds and received $48,500, but without any promise or requirement for a match. At that time the City recognized that something had to be done to stabilize this historic building so that it would not deteriorate further while money was raised for renovation. We did not require that the balance of funds for renovation be committed before release of CDBG funds, since this was m'ore or less an emergency situation. To date, $41,500 remains unspent and in this account. The Arts Place at Old First applied for additional CDBG funds this year in the amount of $68,650. I am not recommending you fund this request. I do believe the City has a role in preserving this landmark. I do not believe we can afford to be the sole source of funds given the other pressing needs for these resources. With the $48,500 to stabilize the building, we can protect the building from further deterioration and have bought some time. The Arts Place organization, along with the Preservation Foundation and their many other supporters, should develop a strategy to raise other funds to renovate this building. Then, if they still have a gap in what is needed, we can again consider what the City's future role should be. Projects in the CDBG budget impact our neighborhoods at a very grassroots level. As such, there is significant commitment and emotion involved with each one of them. It is a difficult position to have to choose which of deserving projects should be funded and which should not. I continue to maintain that the City should and does act as facilitator or enabler, to bring together the various interests to make these projects work. As such, our role is not just one of financing -- especially 100% gift financing. Our staff stands ready to help citizens and staff of local agencies to locate potential alternative funding sources and to provide technical assistance, if needed, to plan a successful project. We will continue to offer this support, even when we cannot offer financial assistance. The Honorable Noel C. Taylor, Mayor and Members of Roanoke City Council At~ril 30, 1992 Page Five I hope this helps to clarify my position on recommendations for the CDBG budget. City Council will have a full briefing on the proposed budget at the Council meeting on May 4, and a public hearing on May 11. However, as always, if you have any questions, please call me, or contact Ms. Marie Pontius, Grants Monitoring Administrator, at 981-2141. WRH/dh CC: Respectfully submitted, W.

ATTEST: City Clerk. Honorable Mayor and city Council Roanoke, Virginia May 4, 1992 Dear Members of Council: SUBJECT: BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS - OCcuPATIONAL SAPwr~AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION STANDARD 1910.1030 I. BACKGROUND Bloodborne pathoaens are microorganisms in human blood that can cause disease in humans. They include the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS. The Virginia Occupational Safety and Health Codes Board which is part of the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry, has adopted a federal regulation which is intended to reduce on-the-job risks for employees who have occupational exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials. Ce This standard mandates specific work practices; the use of personal protective equipment such as face shields, goggles, gloves and pocket masks; training to reduce on-the-job risks for all employees who have a reasonable potential for exposure to blood or other infectious body fluids; and medical follow-up for employees who experience an exposure incident. Additionally, employers must offer, at no cost to at- risk employees, hepatitis B vaccinations. II. coKRENT SITUATION In order to be in compliance with the Standard, the city needs to: Implement an infection control plan by August 1, 1992. Work is well under way to complete departmental control plans. Implement an information and training program to applicable departments by September 1, 1992. This training will emphasize reducing on-the-job risks for employees who have exposure to body fluids. Honorable Mayor and city Council Page 2 Be~in to vaccinate and provide protective ~ to employees to ensure compliance with the Standard by October 1, 1992. III. ISSUES Mandated requirement - enforcement will be monitored by the Virginia Occupational Safety and Health (VOSH) and Virginia Department of Labor and Industry. Timin~ - this Standard becomes effective in Virginia on June 1, 1992, however a phase-in approach allows employers to develop and implement plans for compliance. C. Cost to the City for compliance. IV. ALTERNATIVES ~ove implementation of the mandate. 1. Mandated requirement will be satisfied and prevent citations and/or fines for noncompliance. 2. Timin~ requirements would be met. Cost is $80,059.36 to initiate compliance. (See Attachment 1) Costs for continued compliance will be budgeted in affected departments' individual budgets for FY 93. Hepatitis B vaccine for an estimated 615 employees totals $57,397.95. Personal protective equipment for ten city departments who must comply with the standard totals $21,836.41. c. Medical waste disposal totals $825.00. Honorable Mayor and city Council Page 3 Council not approve implementation of the mandate. Mandated requirement would not be met and the city's potential liability would increase for worker exposure, citations, fines and lawsuits by employees and the public for failure to protect the employees and/or the public from exposure to infectious diseases. 2. Timin~ is not an issue. Cost is unknown but could contain fine and settlement expenses. V. I~ECOMMENDATIONS Council concur with Alternative A and approve the funds required to implement the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard for the amount of $80,059.36. Funds are available in Contingency Reserve Account number 001-002-9410-2199. Transfer from Contingency Reserve Account to Personnel Management Medical Account number 001-050-1261-2062. WRH:jh W.

ATTEST: City Clerk. Roanoke, Virginia °92~' ~,~n-' ~ . ~.~May~ 4, 1992 Honorable Mayor and City Council Roanoke, Virginia Dear Members of Council: Subject: Change Order No. 1 Repair - Replace Masonry Wall West Stands - South End Victory Stadium 16 Reserve Avenue, S.W. Roanoke, Virginia Backqround of the project is as follows: Contractor is Construction Services of Roanoke, Incorporated, Roanoke, Virginia. Construction contract amount, awarded by City Council on March 23, 1992, is $21~200.00 and 90 consecutive calendar days. C. Continqency amount is $1,300.00. II. Current situation is as follows: Contractor started demolition of the masonry wall on April 13, 1992. Contract called for the demolition of the masonry wall to the extent shown on the contract drawings. The contractor was also required to carefully remove and protect what was believed to be a limestone belt at the level of the parapet wall at the top of the stadium seating and another belt course about halfway down the remainder of the wall. When demolition had progressed down to the first belt course, it was determined that it was poured in place concrete. Because of the large bulge in the wall, from the wall failure, the belt course was so broken it could not be reused. A precast concrete belt course is recommended to replace the broken parapet wall belt course. Page 2 III. IV. Demolition progressed downward until the press box floor level was reached. At this point it became very apparent why the masonry wall had failed. The roof of the press box is a concrete slab supported by two angles as beams about every 12' on centers. These beams are supported by columns made of two angles that were resting on the press box floor. There was no bearing plate under these angle columns nor was there any anchorage to the slab. As the roof slab deflected with age it simply moved the bottom of the columns outward and pushed the wall out in the process. These columns have to be pulled back to their original bearing position, plumbed on both axes, provided with a bearing surface and properly anchored to the floor. The lower belt course was also found to be poured concrete but it had not been deformed by the wall movement to the extent that it could not be reused. Issues in order of importance are: A. Engineering concerns B. Funding C. Time of completion Alternatives are as follows: Approve the transfer of $1,974.00 from Maintenance of Fixed Assets Account, number 001-002-9410-2201 to the building Maintenance Outside Contractors Account, number 001-052-4330-3056 to be combined with the project contingency amount. 1. Engineering concerns would be met. Funding would be sufficient to cover the change order amount of $3,274.00. 3. Time of completion would not change. Page 3 Reject the transfer of $1~974.00 to cover needed change order. Engineerinq concerns would not be met. The demolition portion of the project has been completed and the corrective work to the replacement would not be accomplished. This needs to be done as the wall and belt courses are replaced. Fundinq would not be encumbered at this time but would have to be later at additional expense. 3. Time would not change. Recommendation is that City Council take the following action: A. Concur with the implementation of Alternative A. Authorize the transfer of $1,974.00 from Maintenance of Fixed Assets Account, number 001-002-9410-2201 to the Building Maintenance Outside Contractors Account, number 001-052-4330-3056 to be combined with the project contingency amount for the Change Order sum of $3~274.00. City Manager has authority to issue the required change order pursuant to S42 of the City Charter once funds have been appropriated. Respectfully submitted, W.

Honorable Mayor and City Council Roanoke, Virginia Dear Members of Council: Subject: Bid Committee Report Asphalt Concrete Overlays and Pavement Profiling of Various Streets Within the City of Roanoke Roanoke, Virginia May 4, 1992 Ce Bid Co~ittee Report attached is for paving and profiling of various streets within the City of Roanoke. The 41~1~5 tons of asphalt will pave 7~ lane miles of streets. Cit~ street pavin~ Dro~ram's seventeen-year average is shown on Attachment I. The average number of lane miles paved during this sixteen year period is 61 which is greater than the 57 lane-miles desired each year. Recommendation is that City Council approve the reeo~endations of the Bid Committee Report. Respectfully submitted, W. Robert Herbert City Manager WRH/RKB/fm Attachments ce: City Attorney Director of Finance Director of Public Works City Engineer Honorable Mayor and City Council Roanoke, Virginia Roanoke, Virginia May 4, 1992 Dear Members of Council: Subject: Bids for Asphalt Concrete Overlays and Pavement Profiling of Various Streets Within the City of Roanoke I. Baek~round on the project includes: Bids were received by City Council at its April 13, 1992 meeting. These bids were publicly opened and read aloud for Asphalt Concrete Overlays and Pavement Profiling of Various Streets Within the City of Roanoke. Four (4) bids were received and referred to the bid committee for review and report back to Council. The low bid, in the amount of $758~2~6.15 was submitted by Virginia Asphalt Paving Co., Incorporated. Adding Alternate No. 1 (raising manholes), which was bid at $46~000.00, the total bid amounts to $804,2~6.15. City Council, at its October 1, 1979 meeting, directed the Administration to give "every consideration" to maintaining a 20-year paving cycle on City Streets. The 20-year paving cycle requires that 57 lane-miles be paved each year within the City of Roanoke. (See Attachment I.) Ce Street condition investigation by City Engineering Department indicates that 63 lane miles of streets are rated in the "A" category. This category includes streets which are identified as being in the greatest need of resurfacing. These determin- ations are based upon professional field judgement which examines the extent of various types of pavement deterioration such as cracking, rutting, and raveling. These 63 lane miles were all included in the work put out for bids. Fundin~ sources totaling $957,000 are listed on Attachment II and would provide a contract of $951,807.05 and a contingency of $5~192.95 for 41,1~5 tons of asphalt. This would pave 75 lane miles of streets, at prices contained in the low bid shown on Attachment III. One of the funding sources is the Fiscal Year 1992-9~ Paving Program monies in the amount of $650~000. Therefore, the proposed contract is based upon funds included in the Fiscal Year 1992-93 budget, as proposed, which is scheduled to be adopted on May 11, 1992. However, contract expenditures prior to June 30, 1992, can be paid from the currently available FY91-92 funds. Asphalt Concrete Overlays Page 2 Contract amount which will allow the City to pave 75 lane- miles is $147~570.90 more than the low bid total (including Alternate No. 1). The Engineering Department has increased the appropriate quantities, as bid on a unit price basis. Project specifications state that the City reserves the right to add to or to decrease the quantities listed in the Bid Form in an amount that would not exceed 25 percent of the total accepted Base Bid, without renegotiations of the unit prices. II. Issues in order of importance are: A. Compliance of the bidders with the requirements of contract documents. B. Amount of the low bid. C. Funding for construction. D. Time of completion. III. Alternatives are: Award the contract to Virginia Asphalt Paving Co., Incorpo- rated and transfer the $15~969.00 necessary to provide a contract sum of $951,807.05 for street paving, and establish a contingency in the amount of $5~192.95 for a total of $957~000.00 in a form acceptable to the Director of Finance. 1. Compliance of the bidder with the requirements of the contract documents was met. Amount of the low bid is acceptable. The $20.23 price per ton of asphalt is 7.15 lower than last year's price of $21.77. The increased contract amount is proposed due to the exceptionally low unit prices. This enables the City to have all "A" rated streets, as well as 12 lane miles of "A-" rated streets, paved this year. 3. Funding for the project is available in the accounts listed in Attachment II. 4. Time of completion of the project is 180 days. Award the contract to Virginia Asphalt Paving Co., Incorpor- ated, in the amount of $804~2~6.15 (base bid plus alternate) and establish a contingency in the amount of $3,763.85 for a total of $808~000.00 in a form acceptable to the Director of Finance. Asphalt Concrete Overlays Page 3 Compliance of the bidder with the requirements of the contract documents was met. Amount of the low bid is acceptable. The $20.25 price per ton of asphalt is 7.1~ lower than last year's price of $21.77. Low bid enables the City to have all "A" rated streets paved this year. Fundin~ for the project is available in FY92 Paving Pro- gram Account in the amount of $291~051 and in proposed FY93 Paving Program Account of $650~000 (of which $516~969 would be needed at this time). 4. Time of completion of the project is 180 days. Reject all bids and do not pave the City streets this year. 1. Compliance with requirements of the contract documents would not be an issue. 2. Amount of the bid price would probably be higher if rebid at a later date. 3. Fundin~ would not be spent at this time. 4. Time would become a factor in the deterioration of streets that need paving now. IV. Recommendation is that City Council take the following action: Approve Alternative "A" and authorize the contract to Virginia Asphalt Paving Co., Incorporated, in the sum of $951~807.O5 and establish a contingency in the amount of $5~192.95 for a total of $957~000.00 in a form acceptable to the Director of Finance, subject to adoption of a FY92-93 budget by City Council which includes $650,000 for the paving program. Transfer $15~969.00 from the account listed in Attachment II (Part A-l) to the Annual Paving Program Account (No. 001-052-4120-2010). Asphalt Concrete Overlay Page 4 C.

CURRENT SITUATIONs III. ~ have met with the promoter in regard to the 1992 racing season. Be Promoter and City Staff agree that delaying start of the season until July 10th would be advantageous to both parties. Dates originally held for other events are not needed.

Roanoke, Virginia 24011 (703) 981-2541 WHEREAS Madison Middle School needs updated landscaping due to the age and death of existing plantings; WHEREAS Madison Middle School is located on the City of Roanoke's property;. WHEREAS the Madison Middle PTA has secured the monies and the labor needed to put such plantings in the earth; WHEREAS, the Madison Middle School students will water the plantings during the school calendar; WHEREAS the Roanoke City School Administration does not own any water or sprayer trucks; WHEREAS, the Roanoke City Parks and Recreation Department DOES own such water or sprayer trucks; The Madison Middle PTA respectfully requests that the Roanoke City Council allow and provide manpower to have these new plantings irrigated during the summer months, using the existing water or sprayer trucks owned by the City. We at Madison Middle are trying to do two things. We want to beautify the grounds and to educate the students to understand the importance of taking care of our environment. In this day, where it is very difficult to teach kids self-respect and respect for others, we are hoping that by allowing the students to participate in the planting of these trees and shrubs, by teaching them in the classroom why trees clean the air, and by having the students be responsible for the watering during the school year, we will instill in them this sought-after sense of self-worth for a good job done. Know that the watering done by the kids will not be that easy. In most cases, the water will have to be carried in gallon milk jugs by hand. Our concern is that the kids will have worked very diligently to keep the new plantings watered until the middle of June, only to return in September to see them dead due to lack of watering during the summer months. As taxpayers and volunteers, we feel that if we provide all of tho costs of the plantings, the City should be willing to water them, using the existing trucks. School grounds, particul- arly during the summer months, should be considered parks. Tho City waters new plantings in the City parks, therefore, these plantings should be City-watered, too. We understand that monies ar~' tight now. Know they are not tight only in your City budg~,t. They are tight at Madison Middle, too. W~~ arc si~ nding the bulk of our PTA budget purchas- ing now books ['or our library. The school administration does not have the funds to purchase water trucks; even if they did, it should be considered double dipping and wasteful spending in that the City already owns water and sprayer trucks. The future of our City lies in the strength or weakness of the social and academic education of our children. Please do not allow us to compare the cooperation between Roanoke City and Roanoke City School Admini- stration to the sometime lack of such cooperation between Roanoke City and Roanoke County. The volunteers are working hard to improve the schools. Please pass a resolution to allow schools to be watered during the summer months or sprayer trucks. conditions at your new plantings at by your City water Respectfully submitted, Madison Middle School PTA
