'92 I%qV18 P :43
Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor
and Members of Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Roanoke, Virginia
November 23. 1992
SUBJECT: Response to Traffic Congestion Concerns
I. Background:
Briefing on the City of Roanoke's Traffic Engineering
Division was presented to City Council on September 28,
1992. Members of Council requested that reviews be made
of certain intersections and roadways that regularly
experience traffic congestion.
B. Locations identified by Council members include:
1. Elm Avenue, S.E. from Jefferson Street to Interstate
581
2. Orange Avenue, N.E. from Williamson Road to East
Corporate Limits
3. Richard Avenue, N.E. at Gus Nicks Boulevard
4. Twenty-fourth Street, N.W. from Shenandoah Avenue
to Melrose Avenue
II. Current Situation:
Elm Avenue~ S.E. from Jefferson Street to Interstate 581
is a four-lane roadway measuring 1/4 mile in length
(divided by a concrete median that includes turn lanes)
with four (4) signalized intersections (Jefferson Street,
Williamson Road, 1-581 Southbound Ramp, and 1-581
Northbound Ramp). This roadway handles traffic ranging
from approximately 20,000 to 28,000 vehicles per day.
Morning and evening traffic creates congestion (which
periodically occurs at other times of the day as well)
for Elm Avenue traffic and for traffic attempting to
enter or exit Elm Avenue at these four signalized
intersections.
City Council has expressed its concern that this
congestion needs to be alleviated either through better
Page 2
synchronization of the traffic signals or by placement of
police officers to direct motorists during peak traffic
times.
The existing traffic signal control equipment is timed to
favor traffic exiting 1-581/U.S. 220 (where traffic
already backs onto 1-581/U.S. 220 during peak traffic
times). The timing for this equipment could be adjusted
to provide better traffic movement (progression) along
Elm Avenue. However, the resulting additional back-up of
traffic on 1-581/U.S. 220, which handles approximately
60,000 vehicles per day, would clearly create an unsafe
condition. Therefore, it is not in the best interest of
the traveling public to change this signal timing to
favor Elm Avenue.
The Roanoke City Police Department has reviewed the
concept of placing police officers at all four of these
intersections during peak traffic times (manual traffic
control). To effectively perform manual traffic control
at these locations, it would require a minimum of nine
(9) police officers four (4) hours per day, 7:00 a.m. to
9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Smooth traffic flow
through this area would require considerable
communication between the officers in each intersection.
A radio frequency would have to be totally dedicated to
this purpose. Even so, coordination between officers for
this distance would be extremely difficult, at best.
Manual traffic control for this area would be hazardous
for the officers involved, would not solve the problem
and would certainly create a burden in the Police
Department in respect to man-power and the commitment of
time that would be necessary.
The ultimate solution for the relief of this traffic
congested arterial is a major construction project
involving a multi-million dollar investment. Various
alternatives that will need to be considered, either
individually or in combination with one another, include:
1. Widen Elm Avenue to create more vehicular storage
capacity
Construct loop-ramps (partial cloverleaf
interchange) on the east side of 1-581/U.S. 220
thereby eliminating the traffic signal at the
Northbound Ramp
Construct an elevated bypass that would carry
through traffic over the congestion occurring at the
traffic signals, thereby reducing overall delay for
vehicles turning onto and off of Elm Avenue.
Page 3
Reconfigure entire interchange to create an "urban
interchange" with one traffic signal at the center
rather than the two traffic signals at each ramp.
It should also be noted that the Fifth Planning
District Commission, with input from an advisory
committee that includes representatives from the
City and the Virginia Department of Transportation
(VDOT), is in the process of drafting the City's new
Thoroughfare Plan, as recommended in Roanoke Vision
(the City's adopted comprehensive plan). The City
Thoroughfare Plan is intended to serve as a guide
for future highway improvements as well as input
into VDOT's update of the Roanoke Valley
Thorouqhfare Plan. A high priority recommendation
of the draft City Thoroughfare Plan is the
improvement of the Elm Avenue/I-581 interchange.
Subject to City and State approvals, this project
could ultimately be included in the VDOT's Six-Year
Highway Improvement Plan. However, at this time,
the City's projected allocation of funds in this
Plan are committed to other ongoing projects (such
as Peters Creek Road Extension, etc.) through
FY 97-98. Therefore, such a project could not begin
to be funded until FY 98-99.
B. Oranqe Avenue~ N.E. (U.S. Route 460) is a six-lane
roadway from Williamson Road to llth Street, N.E. (0.6
miles), at which point it narrows to a four-lane roadway
for the remaining 2.5 miles to the East Corporate Limits.
This roadway which has a median divider of varying width,
includes eight (8) signalized intersections, and handles
traffic volumes ranging from 41,000 vehicles per day west
of Hollins Road to 31,000 vehicles per day east of Gus
Nicks Boulevard. City Council has expressed its concern
over the need to improve this roadway to handle traffic
growth, especially as it relates to the economic
development along this corridor.
The City's Traffic Engineering Division is nearing
completion of a project that will interconnect the three
(3) traffic signals on Orange Avenue at Plantation Road,
Hollins Road, and 13th Street, N.E. This should provide
for improved traffic progression for this portion of
Orange Avenue traffic.
Another activity recently implemented on Orange Avenue is
the reduction of posted speed limits which is intended to
enhance traffic safety. The 45 mile-per-hour speed limit
has been reduced to 35 miles-per-hour from 13th Street,
N.E. to 24th Street, N.E. and has been reduced to 40
miles-per-hour from 24th Street, N.E. to the East
Corporate Limits.
Page 4
Ultimately, the widening of Orange Avenue to six lanes
from llth Street, N.E. to the East Corporate Limits will
be needed to accommodate the growing traffic volumes.
This multi-million dollar improvement project is also
included as a high priority recommendation of the draft
City Thoroughfare Plan.
In 1988, Roanoke City Council requested VDOT to program
these improvements in the Six-Year Highway Improvement
Plan. However, no funding has been allocated to this
project to date. Just as with the desired Elm Avenue
improvements, Orange Avenue improvements could not begin
to be funded until FY 98-99.
Richard Avenue, N.E. at Gus W. Nicks Boulevard was
constructed in 1983 as part of the realignment of Vinton
Mill Road, which was renamed as Gus W. Nicks Boulevard.
That highway project included installation of a new
traffic signal at Gus W. Nicks Boulevard's intersection
with King Street, which is approximately 1/4 mile south
of Richard Avenue.
City Council has expressed its concern for the safety of
motorists that wish to turn left from Richard Avenue onto
Gus W. Nicks Boulevard (Police Department records
indicate that one (1) accident involving this left turn
has occurred since 1988). Traffic signals have been
suggested by citizens to help this situation. However,
traffic counts at this intersection in 1984, 1987, and
1992 indicate that traffic volumes have remained constant
and the conditions needed for signal installation have
not been met. Further, it is unlikely that these
conditions ever will be met since the traffic signal at
King Street offers a good alternative. King Street is
also a wider and more appropriate route for the
collection of traffic. Even if a traffic signal were
installed at Richard Avenue in anticipation of sufficient
traffic volumes being drawn to the intersection (as a
result of its installation), Richard Avenue traffic would
need to double during the 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. time
period. This rerouting of traffic onto Richard Avenue
would not be in keeping with the current desire to help
minimize traffic volumes on residential streets.
In an effort to enhance the existing warning signs on
northbound Gus W. Nicks Boulevard (approaching Richard
Avenue), a pair of warning flashers with warning signs
will be mounted on a pole along Gus W. Nicks Boulevard
600 feet in advance of Richard Avenue to call greater
attention to the presence of Richard Avenue. This can be
accomplished using funds in the operating budget of the
Traffic Engineering Division.
Page 5
Twenty-fourth Street~ N.W. from Shenandoah Avenue to
Melrose Avenue is a four-lane roadway measuring 0.3 miles
in length (divided by a median that includes turn lanes)
with three (3) signalized intersections (Shenandoah
Avenue, Salem Turnpike, and Melrose Avenue). This
roadway handles approximately 12,000 to 15,000 vehicles
per day.
City Council has expressed its concern that the traffic
lights are not coordinated for 24th Street traffic and
often result in the stoppage of traffic at all three
traffic signals.
The existing traffic signals are presently not
interconnected and therefore operate independent of one
another. The absence of this interconnect equipment
simply makes it impossible for these traffic signals to
be coordinated.
It would be desirable to create an interconnected signal
system for these three traffic signals plus the traffic
signal on Melrose Avenue at Lafayette Boulevard located
0.15 mile west of 24th Street. The cost of the necessary
signal equipment (new traffic signal controllers,
cabinets, and interconnect cable) is preliminarily
estimated at $70~000. It is recognized that this is one
of many needs associated with traffic signal equipment
replacement and upgrades throughout the City. This
request will remain under consideration until funds in
this amount can be recommended for inclusion in a future
capital expenditure program.
IV. Recommendation is that City Council receive and file this
report.

Dear Ms. Parker:
The Roanoke Regional Airport Commission recently completed an audio/visual slide
show about our airport which I would like to present to City Council.
The slide show, entitled Roanoke Regional Airport: Gateway to the Blue Ridge, was
designed to provide a complete overview of the airport and includes sections on the history
of Woodrum Field, current facilities, scheduled air service, air cargo, general aviation, the
economic importance of aviation and more.
If possible, I would like to arrange a viewing before City Council on Monday, Novem-
ber 23. The slide show is just 10 minutes in length, and could be scheduled for whatever
time would be most convenient.
Please let me know at your earliest convenience if this is possible.
Sincerely,
Jacqueline L. Shuck,

Dear Mayor and Council Members:
SUBJECT:
Proposed Reorganization - Office of Community Planning
Building Department
Engineering Department
I. Background:
Authority and responsibility for administration and
enforcement of the City's land development regulations
(zoning, subdivision, etc.) is currently fragmented
between the Office of Community Planning, Building
Department and Engineering Department resulting in
undefined lines of authority and, at times, improper
communication.
City staff in the above referenced departments
responsible for development review, approval and
enforcement activities are physically separated in the
Municipal Building creating additional impediments to
effective communication and confusion and inconvenience
for developers and citizens.
Confusion and misunderstandings can negatively impact
the City's ability to retain and attract development
which is essential to the stability and growth of the
tax base.
II. Current Situation:
ao
City administration has been studying ways to improve
upon the delivery of services to the development
community which will facilitate review of development
proposals while maintaining appropriate controls.
Plan of reorganization has been developed affecting the
Office of Community Planning, Building Department, and
Engineering Department.
- 2 -
III.
IV.
Issues:
A. Impact on development in the City.
B. Enforcement of City regulations affecting development.
C. Cost to the City.
D. Source of funds.
Alternatives:
City Council concur in the proposed reorganization
plan, described in Attachment "A", and authorize the
use of funds for the renovation of office spaces as
noted.
Impact on development in the City will be positive
as the procedures for reviewing and approving
plans for new projects will be more efficient and
effective. The City will create, as far as
practical, a "one-step" permitting process to
assist developers in expediting approvals through
the administrative procedures.
Enforcement of City regulations will be continued
and enhanced by clarifying responsibilities within
City offices involved in development review and
approval. Additional staff assistance will be
provided to the City's Board of Zoning Appeals. It
should be noted that no additional staff resources
are proposed, only the classification and
reassignment of existing personnel.
Cost to the City will be relatively nominal and
presumably more than offset by encouraging and
expediting new developments.
Approximately $25,000 for office
partitioning, plus some expense for
relocating telephones.
Indeterminate but small sum for
reclassification of several existing
positions where duties and responsibilities
will be adjusted.
4. Source of fundinq:
Office renovations, et al, can be
accomplished with funds already budgeted for
maintenance of City buildings and facilities;
some work will be performed by City forces
and some by private contractors.
Salary adjustments related to
reclassifications will be financed from
unspent appropriations within existing
accounts resulting from personnel turnover.
City Council not concur in the proposed reorganization nor
authorize the use of funds for the renovation of office
spaces.
Impact on development will not be as positive as
otherwise anticipated. Existing staff will
continue to be as responsive as possible, within
the current fragmented structure, to assist
developers with new projects.
Enforcement of City requlations will continue at
the same level as current practice, which is
generally good, but occasionally results in delays
and complaints. It should be acknowledged that
even under the best of circumstances there will be
instances when citizens and/or developers are less
than completely satisfied with City regulations
and how they are enforced.
Cost to the City will be the lost opportunity of
attracting and/or expediting some new developments
to the community.
4. Source of fundinq will be moot.
- 4 -
V. Recommendation:
City Council aqree with Alternative "A" thereby
concurring in the reorganization of the Office of
Community Planning, Building Department, and
Engineering Department, and authorizing the use of
funds for the renovation of office spaces as described
in Attachment "A".

RUNAWAY HOMELESS YOUTH GRANT, NUMBER 03CYO269/O4
I. BACKGROUND
A. Crisis Intervention Center (Sanctuary) had
previously operated with a waiting list for
services. This grant has provided for Outreach
services impacting one hundred five families
since January 1990. The waiting list has been
virtually reduced ~rom as many as twenty to an
average of six or less depending on the rate of
crisis calls.
Presently three full-time staff positions provide
outpatient and early intervention services for div-
ersion from court involvement or entering into
residential and out-of-family placement.
II. CURRENT SITUATION

IV. ALTERNATIVES
Authorize the City Manager to accept the United
States Department of Health and Human Services'
Runaway and Homeless Youth Program Grant, Number
O3CY0269/O4, and appropriate $93,16~.00 Grant
Fund.
1. Cost. There would be no cost to the City.
Need for Services. The continued acceptance of
this grant would permit improvements in the
delivery of services, as well as continuing to
offer services to the number of families which
Sanctuary is currently unable to serve.
Do not authorize the City Manaqer to accept the
United States Department of Health and Human Ser-
vices' Runaway and Homeless Youth Proqram Grant,
Number 03CY0269/O4.
1. Cost. The City would incur a loss of revenue.
Need for Services. Should the grant not be
accepted, there would be loss of positive
enhancement and continued stress on the ser-
vices delivery systems and Sanctuary's
personnel. In addition, services would not be
available to local families and out-of-~!amily
placements would increase.
V. RECOMMENDATIONS
Authorize the City Manaqer to accept the United
States Department of Health and Human Services'
Runaway and Homeless Youth Proqram Grant, Number
03CYO269/04.
Appropriate $93,160.O0 of Federal qrant funds to
revenue and expenditure accounts to be established
in the Grant Fund by the Director of Finance.

Dear Mr. Herbert:
Congratulations! I am pleased to inform you that City of Roanoke, Sanctuary
Outreach Crisis Intervention Center (Sanctuary) has once again been selected as a
successful applicant to continue services in the Basic Runaway Youth Program.
The enclosed Notice of Financial Assistance Award provides funding in the amount
of $85,000 for fiscal year 1992 for the basic center grant under the provisions of
the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (42 U.S.C. 5701). The approved project
duration is thirty-six (36) months which ends August 31, 1995. The funds
provided in this award are for the twelve months which began September 1, 1992
and will end August 31, 1993.
Sanctuary provides temporary shelter care to a maximum of fifteen youth. With
the number of youth that have been served over the last several years, we are
pleased that the city is providing a new facility for these services. We are also
impressed with the efforts to work with youth following their departure from the
shelter in regard to outreach and aftercare programs. These programs include
family members whenever possible to reach reunification and assist families to
maintain that status. In those cases where reunification is not possible, your
program has developed an effective network of community placements and other
alternatives. We are pleased to provide an increase in your funding level with this
award in order that these integral services may be continued in the greater
Roanoke Valley.

Dear Mr. Herbert:
The enclosed Notice of Financial Assistance Award provides supplemental funding
to the City of Roanoke, Sanctuary Outreach Crisis intervention Center in the
amount of $8,160 for the fiscal year 1992 basic center grant under the provisions
of the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (P.L. 98-473). The approved project
duration is thirty-six (36) months which ends August 31, 1995. Funds provided in
this award are for the twelve months which began September 1, 1992 and will
end August 31, 1993.
Your application request will provide training opportunities to your staff which will
enhance their capacity to deliver services to youth during the shelter stay and
while in the aftercare program. Additionally, your application reflects the
importance of staff members availability to your clients. By increasing one support
staff member's time to perform reception and other recordkeeping duties, staff
counselors will have more hours to devote to actual provision of services.
Please remember that this award does not increase your base funding and
represents a one-time award. One-time awards must be used for the approved
purpose and any revisions require written approval by this office. Please keep in
mind the Program Performance Self Assessment Instrument should be completed

Subject:
Status Report, Sanitary Sewershed
Evaluation Plan Implementation and
Project Identification
Roanoke, Virginia
November 23, 1992
I. Background:
II.
A special consent order was issued by the State
Water Control Board in June of 1992 requiring the
City to:
Submit an approvable list of proposed
infiltration inflow (I/I) corrective action
projects no later than December 1~ 1992.
Submit a report quantifying the success of
these projects in reducing I/I to the Sewage
Treatment Plant no later than July 31~ 1993.
Be
City Council approved engineering services
contracts with two (2) consulting engineering firms
to implement the sewershed evaluation plan
submitted to the State Water Control Board on
September 9, 1992. This approval was given at City
Council's regular meeting held on Monday, November
2, 1992.
Current Situation:
Flow Metering Stations have been set and are
currently collecting data at the outfall of six (6)
of a total of fifteen (15) sewersheds within the
City's boundary. These six (6) sewersheds
represent a combined area of some 20 square miles.
Jurisdictional coordination has been established
with Roanoke County, Botetourt County, City of
Salem, and Town of Vinton for their permanent flow
metering stations discharging to the City sewer
system. Data being collected by these meters are
currently being delivered to the Engineering
Department on a weekly basis as the sewershed
analysis continues.
Page 2
III.
Project identification to reduce I/I to the
treatment plant is proceeding as quickly as
rainfall events throughout the sewersheds will
allow. As of the date of this report, only
moderate rainfall has occurred. This has delayed
the relocation of flow meters up through the
sewersheds to more clearly define the scope and
reaches of corrective action projects. However,
enough rainfall occurred on November 4th to
indicate specific areas where action projects will
more than likely be generated.
Corrective action projects are listed below in terms of
total reaches under investigation. As flow monitoring
and analysis continues, these reaches may be reduced in
segmented fashion at locations that will produce the
maximum benefit for I/I reduction. Other projects may be
identified that have a higher priority rating for I/I
reduction and may be substituted for those listed. These
projects will be long-range until a satisfactory
reduction of I/I is achieved. This report forms the
basis for recommending to City Council a feasible Three
Year Pro~ected Proqram.
A. Murray Run Sewershed:
From Colonial Avenue to Brambleton Avenue
along Murray Run main line, 3,600 feet of 12 -
15 inch pipe. Estimated cost for design and
construction is $138~600.00.
From Brambleton Avenue to Mt. Vernon Road and
Fishburn Park, 2,400 feet of 15 - 18 inch
pipe. Estimated cost for design and
construction is $92,400.00.
Shaffers Crossing Sewershed:
From Roanoke River to Baker Street thru
railroad underpass, 2,650 feet of 12 - 15 inch
pipe. Estimated cost for design and
construction is $132,500.00.
From Melrose Avenue to Aspen Street along
Forest Park Blvd., 1,800 feet of 15 inch pipe.
Estimated cost for design and construction is
$122,500.00.
Page 3
IV.
Mud Lick Sewershed:
Upper reaches from Norwood Street to the
County line, 1,975 feet of 8 inch pipe.
Estimated cost for design and construction is
$98~750.00.
Lower reaches from Clara Avenue to Mud Lick
interceptor, 2,725 feet of 8 15 inch pipe.
Estimated cost for design and construction is
$141~700.00.
Peters Creek Sewershed:
Upper reaches on Peters Creek interceptor
involving two (2) parallel lines of 24 and 27
inch pipe. May involve replacement with one
30 inch ductile iron pipe for a distance of
2,800 feet. Estimated cost for design and
construction is $168~000.00.
Projects unidentified at this time.
Additional flow monitoring and sewershed
evaluations will likely identify a Three Year
Projected Program for project identification,
design, and construction which will require
expenditures of approximately $850~000.00 to
$900,000.00 per year. All projects will
require specific Council approval prior to
awarding bids.
Plan of Action:
Advise the State Water Control Board of th~ seven
(7) projects listed above estimated to cost
$894~450.00. As flow monitoring continues, other
projects of higher priority for I/I reduction will
more than likely be identified. These are the
first of a series of projects that will be
generated as the Sewershed Study continues
throughout the City boundaries.
Corrective action projects currently identified
above will be used in the City's submittal to the
State Water Control Board for the December 1, 1992
deadline along with the intent to identify other
projects over the three (3) year period to reduce
I/I flows.
Page 4
WRH/ES/mm
cc:
Substitution projects for the ones originally
submitted may be requested in accordance with
Paragraph 4 of Appendix "A" of the consent order.
Fundinq for these projects will come from the sewer
fund as part of the annual expenses. Funding,
approximately $1,500,000.00, is currently available
in the Previous Years' Retained Earnings in the
Sewer Fund. An attempt will be made to generate
the additional funds needed from annual revenue
under the current rate schedule. The completion of
the identified work may require funding from other
identified sources.
Recommendation: Council concur with the staff submitting
a listing of projects and plan of action for correcting
I/I projects costing approximately $2,500,000.00 to
$3,000,000.00 over a three (3) year period, subject to
identified funding sources, to the State Water Control
Board in accordance with the Special Consent Order and as
identified in Paragraphs III and IV above. Selection of
consultants for design of these projects will be
accomplished by standard procedures for procuring
professional services.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject: Century Station Parking Garage Use and Tower Parking
Garage Rates
I. Backqround:
Aqreement between the Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing
Authority (RRHA) and Crestar Bank caused the RRHA to construct
the 409 space Century Station Parking Garage. This Agreement
provided, in part, that Crestar Bank would obtain a parking
easement for up to 266 parking spaces within the garage in
consideration of Crestar Bank releasing an identical parking
easement elsewhere.
Lease Agreement between the RRHA and the City of Roanoke made
the City of Roanoke responsible for operating the Century
Station Parking Garage in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Agreement between the RRHA and Crestar Bank.
These terms and conditions permit monthly and/or daily parking
at the Century Station Parking Garage.
Greater Roanoke Transit Company (GRTC), which is the company
the City selected to operate the garage on its behalf,
recommended that all of the available spaces in the Century
Station Parking Garage be leased on a monthly basis, and that
the first two hours of parking at the Tower Parking Garage be
provided free on Saturdays until 5:00 p.m.. Please refer to
the attached letter from GRTC.
Downtown Roanoke Incorporated (DRI) has campaigned for the
first two hours of parking at the Century Station Parking
Garage to be provided free on Saturdays until 5:00 p.m..
E ·
Current parking rates for the Market Square Parking Garage
and the Tower Parking Garage were established by Council in
May 1992, as shown below. The identical rates were
established for the Century Station Parking Garage by the
RRHA.
Century Station, Market
Square, and Tower Parking
Garages
Current Rates
Monthly (un-reserved) $ 55.00
Monthly (reserved) 65.00
One hour .75
Two hours 1.50
Three hours 2.25
Four hours 3.25
Five hours or longer 4.25
Enter between 5:00 p.m. and
9:00 p.m. Monday - Saturday 1.50
Enter after 9:00 p.m. Monday
Saturday Free
Sunday Free
Exception to the current rates is that the Greater Roanoke
Transit Company, operator of the Market Square Parking Garage,
in 1984 authorized the first two (2) hours of parking in the
Market Square Parking Garage until 5500 p.m. on Saturdays be
free of charge, with the normal rate structure to be applied
to all parking thereafter.
II. Current Situation:
A. Opening date for the Century Station Parking Garage is
November 30, 1992.
Council's approval is needed regarding the use of the Century
Station Parking Garage and/or the rates charged at the Tower
Parking Garage.
III.Issues:
A. Need
B. Cost
C. Timing
IV. Alternatives:
City Council approve of the first two hours of parking in the
Tower Parking Garage be provided free of charge until 5~OO
p.m. on Saturdays, with the normal rate structure to be
applied to all parking thereafter; and of daily parking at the
Century Station Parking Garage on Saturdays contingent upon
the RRHA agreeing that the first two hours of such parking in
the Century Station Parking Garage are to be provided free
until 5:00 p.m., with any parking in excess of two hours to
be charged at the normal rate structure. There will be no
daily parking in the Century Station Parking Garage except
between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays,
except for special City sponsored events when the City Manager
may waive all parking rates.
Need is cited by Downtown Roanoke Incorporated's concern
that the opening of the Century Station Parking Garage
create additional free and convenient parking on a day
of the week when monthly parkers rarely use their spaces.
2 o
Cost is $5,720.00 annually which is the cost to have an
attendant on duty at the Century Station Parking Garage
on Saturdays. Funding this cost may require either an
additional equal outlay by the City or a corresponding
reduction in the maintenance service that GRTC proposes
to provide (please refer to attached letter from GRTC).
We will attempt to reduce attendant hours at the Tower
Parking Garage on Saturdays and monitor other revenue and
expense items until later in the year to see if other
adjustments need to be recommended.
Timinq will permit implementation coinciding with the
opening of the Century Station Parking Garage.
City Council approve of the first two hours of parking at the
Tower Parking Garage being provided free on Saturdays until
5:00 p.m. in consideration of the Century Station Parking
Garage not being made available for daily parking on
Saturdays.
Need should be met given that the two parking garages are
equally convenient when the Market Area is viewed as a
whole.
Cost is limited to the $550.00 in revenue that will be
foregone because there is already an attendant on duty
at the Tower Parking Garage on Saturdays. By reducing
the maintenance service that GRTC proposes to provide,
the City could actually obtain a reduction in the fee
charged by GRTC to operate the Century Station Parking
Garage on the City's behalf.
Timinq will permit implementation coinciding with the
opening of the Century Station Parking Garage.
City Council not approve of either daily parking at the
Century Station Parking Garage on Saturdays or the first two
hours of parking at the Tower Parking Garage being provided
free on Saturdays until 5:00 p.m..
Need will not change, potentially raising the concern
that the opening of a new parking garage did not create
additional free and convenient daily parking on a day of
the week when monthly parkers rarely use their spaces.
Cost is not an issue.
Timinq will delay implementation of any of the
aforementioned changes until City Council might choose
otherwise.
V. Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council choose Alternative A which is
approve of the first two hours of parking at the Tower Parking
Garage to be provided free until 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and daily
parking at the Century Station Parking Garage on Saturdays
contingent upon the RRHA agreeing that the first two hours of such
parking are to be provided free until 5~OO p.m..

Dear Mr. Klser,
The Lease Agreement between the City of Roanoke and the Roanoke
Redevelopment and Housing Authority provides, in part, that the City
shall operate the Century Station Parking Garage in strict accordaDce
with the requirements of the Agreement between the Roanoke
Redevelopment and Housing Authority and Crestar Bank. In terms of the
type of parking that is to take place within the Century Station
Parking Garage, this latter agreement permits either monthly or daily
parking in the spaces not used by Crestar. We are recommending that
all of these spaces be leased on a monthly basis as more fully
described below.
Presently, we know there are 455 distinct individuals on the waiting
list to occupy the Century Station Parking Garage on a monthly basis
and there are 84 others who may or may not be included on this waiting
list. In any case, therefore, the waiting list for monthly parking
spaces already exceeds the capacity of the garage and we see no reason
not to satisfy this demand when whatever additional demand there might
be for hourly and daily parking can be satisfied at both the Market
Square and Tower Parking Garages. To best achieve the latter, we are
also recommending that the first two hours of parking at the Tower
Parking Garage be provided free on Saturdays until 5:00 p.m.. Doing
so is consistent with the manner in which the Market Square garage is
operated and it should satisfy what we understand to be Downtown
Roanoke Incorporated's desire for additional free and convenient
parking on weekends.
With the recommendations stated above, the Century Station Parking
Garage would be operated just as the Williamson Road Parking Garage is
operated. Primarily, it will be available only to those who are the
current monthly parkers. During special evening and/or weekend events,
however, it could be made available to the general public and we would
propose that the City do so when the need for such additional parking
arises.
Lastly, you should be aw'are that ~ith the recommendations stated above,
there will be no need to have a parking attendant on duty at the
Century Statlon Parking Garage as is presently required by the
Agreement between the City of Roanoke and the Greater Roanoke Transit
Company. Rather than just reduce the corresponding management fee by
some negotiated amount, we suggest that the City consider allowing GRTC
to substitute an additional full time maintenance position in lieu of
the part time attendant positions as the costs to GRTC are almost
identical and the full tlme maintenance position would allow us to do
a better ]ob of maintaining all of the parking garages.
Please let me know how you wish to proceed and feel free to contact me
at your convenience if you have any questions in the meantime.
Sincerely~
Stephen A. Mancuso

Comprehensive Housing
1992, for the City of
review and
Department
October 21,

of 1990 requires that entitlement communities, such as the City of
Roanoke, develop a Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy
("CHAS") as a condition to receiving federal funding under certain
community development and housing programs;

Honorable Mayor and Members of Coun~cZil

Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
SUBJECT:
Proposed Comprehensive Housing Affordability
Strategy (CHAS) Performance Report for federal
fiscal year 92 and Annual Plan for federal
fiscal year 93.
I. Background:
A. The Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act
De
of 1990 requires that Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) entitlement communities, such as
Roanoke, that have a Comprehensive Housing
Affordability Strategy (CHAS) prepare a Performance
Report and an Annual Plan each year by December 31,
to continue to receive federal funding.
City Council was informed of this requirement by
letter, dated September 18, 1992. The letter noted
that the City's Planning Commission would be
coordinating the development of the Annual Plan.
(Staff support for this effort has been provided by
the Office of Grants Compliance, the Office of Human
Development, the City Planning Department and the
Housing Development Office.)
The Planning Commission's Community Development
Subcommittee conducted a public hearing on September
23, 1992 to solicit public comments on the housing
needs of the City and to obtain opinions on the
effectiveness of programs and activities currently
underway.
The Draft versions of the Performance Report and the
Annual Plan were developed and made available for a
30-day public review period as required by U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
regulations. (The review period began on October 21,
1992 and ended on November 20, 1992.)
The CHAS Performance Report describes the 1992
performance of Roanoke City and other entities within
the jurisdiction in providing affordable housing to
meet the needs of very low-income, low-income, and
moderate-income families, including the needs of
homeless individuals and families.
The 1993 Annual Plan is based on the CHAS five year
strategy and an assessment of the first year's
performance. General policies of the Five-year CHA$
2
include:
1. Emphasis will be placed on rehabilitation and
improvement of existing housing stock.
2. Low income households would be targeted for
programs of housing assistance.
Emphasis will be placed on providinq
homeownership opportunities. Related to this,
conversion of single-family owner-occupied
housing to multi-family rental will be
discouraged.
It is expressly contrary to the policy of the
City for any person to discriminate against
another person, on the basis of race, color,
religion, national origin, age, sex, handicap or
familial status, in matters of housing and real
estate.
The 1993 Annual Plan recommends that emphasis should
continue to be focused on:
1. Coordination of housing assistance resources.
2. Homeownership opportunities.
3. Improvement and maintenance of rental properties.
Elimination of regulatory/public policy issues
which limit housing choice, and perpetuate
substandard housing.
5. Shelter and support for homeless persons.
Supportive services and accessible housing to
special populations including elderly, persons
with disabilities, persons with alcohol or other
drug addiction, and persons diagnosed with AIDS
or related diseases.
The Plan discusses other actions in relation to
public policies, institutional structure, public
housing improvements, and public housing resident
initiatives for self-sufficiency.
8. The Plan contains estimates of what financial
resources are expected to be available.
II. Current Situation:
Planning Commission approved the draft Annual Plan at
their regular meeting on Nov. 4, 1992 and recommended
it to Council for their review and approval.
3
III.
IV.
City Council received a formal briefin9 on the draft
Performance Report for federal fiscal year 1992 and
the draft Annual Plan for federal fiscal year 1993
on November 16, 1992.
Issues:
A. Benefit to the City
B. Compliance with applicable regulations
C. Timing
D. Impact on the City's Housing Objectives
Alternatives:
A. Approve, adopt and authorize the City Manager to
submit the 1993 Annual Plan to HUD for review and
approval.
Benefit to the City will be continued
eligibility to receive CDBG funds, to make
application for Section 108 loans, and to
participate in several federally funded housing
programs. Projects supported by these funds
include economic development activities, a
variety of housing and neighborhood improvement
efforts and assistance to homeless.
Compliance with applicable regulations is
assured through the submission of a CHAS
Performance Report and Annual Plan which have
been adopted by the local governing body, as
required by HUD regulations.
Timing is important because Roanoke is not
eligible to apply for new federally funded
community development or housing programs if
the City does not have a 1992 CHAS Performance
Report and a 1993 CHAS Annual Plan submitted to
HUD by December 31, 1992.
Impact on the City's housing objectives is
positive through the recommendation for
new homeownership opportunities, and the
rehabilitation of substandard housing units,
since the maintenance of such housing stock
contributes to a healthy balance of housing
types and costs within the City.
Do not approve, adopt and authorize the City
Manager to submit the 1993 Annual Plan to HUD for
review and approval.
Benefit to the City would be lost, with the
loss of approximately $2 million in CDBG funds,
annually, $500,000 from the HOME program,
$41,000 in McKinney funds and the resulting $7
million in leveraged monies which are generated
by these federally supported activities. This
would mean that programs and activities
currently funded with such monies would have to
obtain funding from other sources or be
eliminated. In addition, the City would be
ineligible to apply for or receive Section 108
loans, or monies under the HOPE program.
2. Compliance with applicable regulations would
not be realized without an approved CHAS.
3. Timing would not be an issue.
Impact on the City's housing objectives would
be negative, since potential sources o~ funding
for achieving these objectives would be
unavailable.
V. Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council concur in
Alternative A and approve, adopt and authorize the City
Manager to submit the Comprehensive Housing A~fordability
Strategy (CHAS) 1993 Annual Plan to HUD for review and
approval.

Dear Councilman White:
SUBJECT: Deicing Salt
On November 23, 1992, during the regular scheduled council
meeting, City Council approved the purchase of deicing salt for use
on City streets. At that time you asked the question on the
feasibility of Jointly purchasing deicing salt for or selling
deicing salt to City Schools and Redevelopment and Housing
Authority.
D. Darwin Roupe, Manager of General Servies has talked with
representatives of the Schools and Housing Authority. Both
entities have concluded that their need for this particular product
is small if any. Mr. Roupe has proposed, with the concurrance of
Mr. Clark, Director of Public Works, to allow the Schools and
Housing Authority to use deicing salt from the City's stockpile.
Those entities would then be billed for the actual amount used at
the same cost that was paid for the product.
Thank you for your ~uggestion. We are always interested in
reducing cost as well as working cooperatively with other entities.
I hope this response addresses your questions relative to the
above subject.
Sincerely,
W. Robert Herbert
City Manager

Dear Kit:
It was very informative chatting with you and your
colleagues, Mr. Clark and Mr. Dibling, last week. As a result of
those conversations, we have prepared the attached proposal for an
acquisition study regarding Roanoke Gas Company's assets located in
the City of Roanoke and the surrounding county.
We look forward to discussing this proposal with you, at your
convenience.

Proposal for
Consulting Services to
The City of Roanoke, Virginia
Regarding
Municipal Acquisition of Gas Utility Assets
November 6, 1992
PFoposed SeFv£ces
We propose to provide consulting services to the City of
Roanoke regarding the appropriate purchase price and other major
issues related to an acquisition of the Roanoke Gas Company or its
assets. We plan to include a review of the many tasks that are
required in order to implement a municipal acquisition so that the
City is aware of the magnitude of the undertaking and the possible
protracted time-frame required to accomplish it.
We propose to determine a fair purchase price for an acquisition by
conducting a thorough study of the gas utility company and its
assets based on the generally accepted plant or utility valuation
techniques. These techniques may include:
1) Original Cost - the valuation of assets at their book value (or
original cost of the assets less accumulated depreciation). This
method is basically the SCC method of valuing investment in utility
rate cases.
2) Reproduction Cost - the cost of rebuilding the existing plant
with a substantially identical new plant.
3) Market Value - the market price of publicly traded comparable
gas utility stocks divided by their book value applied to the
original cost of the assets being purchased.
In addition, we would calculate various "break-even" prices, i.e.,
that price which could be paid by the City to Roanoke Gas Company
which would leave the rates unchanged to current customers.
Our study would consist of four phases: 1) financial and economic
data collection, 2) analysis to determine the valuation under the
three techniques discussed above, 3) the expected impact on utility
rates and general fund revenues under public versus private
ownership and finally, 4) the final report which will include a
review of the tasks to be performed in connection with an
acquisition, a likely time-frame for implementation, a review of
the economic results, and all necessary materials for an initial
presentation to the State Corporation Commission.
We view the first phase, the collection of the necessary data, to
be a significant effort. The study must consider and identify the
appropriate assets for acquisition. Whether the City decides to
purchase the entire Virginia operations of the Roanoke Gas
Company's, or only those assets located in the City, we will ensure
that the gas supply issues are properly considered. While the
original cost data is generally available in the financial
statements, it may need to be investigated in greater detail to
reflect only the assets that are actually in service and of
interest to the City. Therefore it may be necessary to prepare
separate City versus County asset allocation models as well as
separate cost of service models.
In the second phase, the valuations under each of the methods are
performed by computer analysis employing our own in-house valuation
programs. These programs have been written by our analysts in
other engagements concerning utility acquisitions, as discussed
below.
The third phase of the engagement involves examining the
consequences of an acquisition on the general fund revenues and on
rates to consumers. This phase requires an analysis to quantify
the potential savings from municipal ownership that can be retained
in the general fund or used to manage utility rates. These
advantages include multi-million dollar savings due to the City's
access to lower cost public financing and its State and Federal
tax-exempt status. These advantages are contrasted with acquisition
costs in excess of the utility's book value to determine the likely
range of utility rates and general fund revenues under various
purchase price scenarios. In addition, this phase would include
both a short (five year) and long term (25 year) forecast of rates,
cost of service and general fund revenues. This would be contrasted
with comparable rate increases of investor owned gas utilities to
determine any short and long-term advantages or disadvantages of
municipal ownership.
In the final phase of the engagement we propose to furnish to the
City a comprehensive final report to use as a basis for informed
decision making regarding the possible risks and rewards associated
with an acquisition. We will also prepare suitable materials for
the initial presentation to the State Corporation Commission. It
is our view that this report and presentation materials will also
be useful in any subsequent negotiation of franchise fees the City
may elect to pursue with the Roanoke Gas Company.
Members of our firm are available to make presentations or to serve
as expert witnesses in the future if so needed.
Our Utility Acquisition Experience
The Columbia Group, Inc. has been engaged to conduct several
engagements for the acquisition of entire utility companies or
large utility assets. Our clients for these engagements have been
local municipal governments, county governments and local utility
authorities. These engagements have been conducted in conjunction
with Public Utility Commission reviews and have included
presentations to local governments, task forces, citizens' groups,
etc.
Our familiarity with the numerous acquisition related issues makes
2
us well suited to provide general guidance to our clients on what
issues they can expect to encounter throughout the process, from
the planning and analysis stage to the actual purchase price
negotiations and consummation of a sale.
Members of our group have testified as expert financial witnesses
in some two hundred major utility rate cases. Our detailed firm
resumes have been included under separate cover.
Proposed Personnel
We propose Steve Ruback and James D. Cotton as project managers in
this engagement. Steve will be assisted by David Deslauriers and
Jim will be assisted by Elizabeth P. Jensen and Ruth E. Feldman.

Proposed Fees
we propose to perform the services described for professional fees
ranging from $65.00 per hour for a Consult~a~,-~ $105.00 for a
Principal, and a "not-to-exceed" price of/~50,~00'in professional
fees with travel and out-of-pocket expenses t~-be billed at cost.
We estimate the engagement will require 700 hours of professional
time and would likely entail several trips to the franchise area as
well as two to three interim meetings with the City. We anticipate
that the entire study can be accomplished over a two month period.
This proposal does not include any services after the issuance of
our final report in this engagement. Any cross examination or other
court appearances on the part of our consultants have not been
included, although such services could be provided, if requested,
at an additional cost.
In summary, we would provide you with a comprehensive report
addressing the major issues generally encountered in municipal
acquisitions of public utility assets. Our report would include a
review of the effects of various purchase prices on both the City's
general fund revenues and rates to gas utility customers. The
document would include both text and schedules and would be an
acquisition primer. We view this as an exciting engagement for us
and an important step for the City of Roanoke.
If you should have any questions regarding this proposal, please
call either Mr. Cotton at (203) 438-8886 or Mr. Ruback at (617)
821-5570.

The Honorable Vice-Mayor and
Members of the Roanoke City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Mrs. Bowles and Gentlemen:
· Almost everyday in the press, in the National League of Cities' publications, and in
the United States Conference of Mayors' correspondence, information is presented
re~arding the changes soon to come about as a result of the election of President-
Elect Bill Clinton.
There is every indication that the new President, in conjunction with a majority of
the Congress, will refocus America's attention on the problems of our cities. Thank
goodness! We have had too many years in which the Federal Government has
neglected the inner-city poor, dec.eased housing subsidies, and failed to fund
infrastructure repairs and development.
The first 100 days of the Bill Clinton administration will, most likely, be similar to
the first 100 days of Fm, n~ltn D. Roosevelt. The year 1993 will make a siKnificant
cb,nge in the direction of American domestic policy.
Roanoke must be poised and raady to benefit from this tramendous change. We need
to make sure that our City administration is properly informed and preparad to apply
for every possible federai p~o~'ffmn of which we might be a likely candidate. The size
of our City alone makes it a wonderful location for federal demonstration projects.
Accordingly, it is our desire that Council diract the City administration to formulate
a plan to be implemented by a response team made up of existing members already on
our staff. However, we need the City Manager to establish this "Team Roanoke" as
a task force gearin~ up to -~ke contacts on behalf of our citizens in WashinKton, so
that we can benefit our City from what we expect to be 100 historic days of new
legislation and domestio lundinE for Roanoke.
We respectfully request that this matter be placed on the Consent Agenda on
November 16, 1992, and thereafter be referred to the City M.n~ger for raport and
recommendation back to Council within 45 days.
