This issue and the continuing news reports about developments in the City of Bedford and the County of Bedford should be of great interest to the people of our community. While citizens of other communities in western Virginia are interested in urban reform for the good of their respective area, we should be ever mindful of the need to continue to advise the people of the Roanoke community of these trends, and what positive impact they might have in the Roanoke Valley. Accordingly, I would respectfully request that you provide the Members of Roanoke City Council within 60 days with a brief status report of these two occurrences, and what impact they might have for the Roanoke Valley. I would respectfully request that this correspondence be placed on the Consent Agenda for the regular meeting of Council on January 9, 1995. Sincerely, David A. Bowers Mayor DAB: jas c~ted.

Sleeper said Halifax will take over all schools in the county and town, as well as about $1.i million in debts from recent school improvements. The city now oper- al~ two elementary schools, while die)county and city share the middle and high schools. Halifax fought the reversion for fruit years, claiming that providing ektra services for the new town would cost about $! million annual- ly. The city says the county will gain a .b~..ut $1 million a year n new town taxss, offsetting the new expenses. ' '~',.The Virginia Supreme Court ruled in February that South Boston could revert to a town, but did not s~.'a date. Christie said setting a date itt'~he agreement ensures there will b~'.'no more court battles.

King, Acting Project Manager of the transmitting National Scenic Trail, a division of the United States Department of the Interior and Appalachian the National Park Service, inquiring as to whether the City of Roanoke would renew discussions with the Appalachian National Scenic Trail for a permanently protected Corridor for the Trail across the City's watershed lands near Carvins Cove in Botetourt and Roanoke Counties, which communication was before the Council of the City of Roanoke at a regular meeting held on MOnday, January 9, 1995. On motion, duly seconded and adopted, the matter was referred to you for report to Council within 120 days. Sincerely, MFP: sm ]~ne. DAVID A.

King, Acting Project Manager of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, a division of the United States Department of the Interior and the National Park Service. Mr. King has written to my office to inquire as to whether the City of Roanoke would renew discussions with the Appalachian National Scenic Trail for a permanently protected corridor for the Trail across the City of Roanoke's watershed lands near Carvins Cove in Botetourt and Roanoke Counties. I am requesting that this matter be placed on the Consent Agenda at the next regular meeting of Council to be held on January 9, 1995, and thereafter be referred to the City Manager for any appropriate action, with a report back to Council within 120 days. I would respectfully request your concurrence in that request. I shall not prejudge the decision of the City Administration, but there are two interesting aspects of this proposal which I would like to comment on. First, I do not believe that anyone needs to worry about the infringement of our watershed land in the Carvins Cove area, as I believe it is a permanent decision of this City that that land be environmentally protected from any kind of development whatsoever. However, if we can be of assistance to the Parks Service in assuring that future protection, then I think we should at least consider it. Secondly, if there is any funding received from the Federal Government to the City of Roanoke for this protected space, then I would like to suggest, preliminarily, that some or all of that funding be specially designated in a "greenways trust" for the development of pedestrian/bicycle parkways within our City. As you know, Bob Fetzer and others came to our City Council last month encouraging us to proceed with the development of greenways in Roanoke, and this opportunity for additional funding from the Federal Government may be just what we need to match our efforts in that regard. If extra money is derived from the Federal Government as a result from our cooperation with them, then I would like to see that funding go for greenway development in Roanoke. The Honorable Members of Roanoke City Council Page 2 January 3, 1995 At any rate, I would appreciate your referring this matter to the City Manager for his further comment. Best personal regards.

Bowers Mayor of Roanoke 215 W. Church Avenue Roanoke, Virginia 24011 Dear Mayor Bowers: As the National Park Service (NPS) looks toward completion of its land protection program for the Appalachian National Scenic Trail (A.T.), we would like to renew discussions with the City of Roanoke for a permanently protected corridor for the Appalachian National Scenic Trail across City of Roanoke watershed lands in Botetourt and Roanoke Counties. I have enclosed a map which shows the A.T. corridor from Tinker Mountain above Carvin Cove Reservoir south to McAfee Knob. Included in this corridor is a preliminary corridor design on City of Roanoke watershed lands that, as depicted, includes approximately 850 acres. A little over four miles of the A.T. footpath is actually located on city lands, with several more miles located on NPS-acquired adjacent lands in a corridor that at the present time is of insufficient width to provide adequate permanent protection. I have enclosed also for your information a copy of the Com reh ~ion Mana e~en~.-~evol ........... ~en~ve Plan for the ~ j .... ~,,~u ~ in place Ior the Trail. We would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss our protection objectives, and/or to make a presentation to the City Council, if that would be more appropriate. This is truly a spectacular section Trail that, in addition to bein- -art of a . ~ of the Appalachian ~ F nationally significant resource represents a valuable regional asset. I am pleased to think that we share a concern for assuring its protection. In fact, because of the high value of this section of the Trail with its extensive views of the surrounding countryside, we would be interested in exploring with you ways that we might accomplish some broader level of protection for this viewshe~, in addition to the basic corridor. Please contact me at the above address or by calling (304) 535-6278 to advise me of how you would like to proceed. I will look forward to hearing from you. Sincerelv, Donald T.

The first letter dated December 20, 1994, fromAndrew Cuomo, Assistant Secretary of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, advises us that the City of Roanoke is eligible to receive a Fiscal Year 1995 consolidated formula allocation of $2,947,000, which is available for housing, homeless, and community development purposes. The second letter dated August 18, 1994, and addressed to Ms. Neva J. Smith from Andre' S. Basmajian, Director of the Public Housing Division of the Richmond Field Office of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, advises the Roanoke Housing Authority that they have been approved for a 1994 comprehensive grant in the amount of $2,005,240. I wanted to provide this news to the Members of Council and the community, and would ask that these letters be placed on the Consent Agenda of the next regular meeting of Council to be held on January 9, 1995, and thereafter be appropriately received and filed. Best personal regards for the New Year to each of you. DAB: jas Sincerely, Davi~'IBSwers Mayor Enclosures OFFICE OF ~IE ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR COMMUNI"~Y PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT WASHINGTON, O.C. 20410-7000 Honorable David Bowers Mayor of Roanoke Roanoke, VA 24011 Dear Mayor Bowers: I am pleased to inform you that the City of Roanoke is eligible to receive a Fiscal Year 1995 consolidated formula allocation of $2,947,000. This money is available for housing, homeless, and community development purposes. This allocation is comprised of: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) $2,214,000; HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) $651,000; and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) $82,000. In prior years, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD), treated CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA formula allocations separately. This year, we are announcing the total amount which State and local jurisdictions are eligible to receive under the consolidated formula allocation together to give you as much flexibility as possible in using these funds in a coordinated fashion. To provide you with as much time to plan your expenditures as possible, we are also notifying you of these amounts earlier than we have in the past. This grant announcement reflects the Consolidated Plan concept which we, together with States and localities, have developed to address local problems more comprehensively. It is an important part of Secretary Cisneros' overall efforts to make HUD a more effective partner with localities. The Consolidated Plan was developed in response to your requests that we help jurisdictions to reduce paperwork and, at the same time, to address urban problems comprehensively. The Consolidated Plan combines the planning, application, and reporting requirements for the CPD formula programs for which you are eligible, by condensing seven separate submission requirements into one document. 2 If a CDBG eligible metropolitan city has entered into a joint grant agreement with an urban county, the CDBG allocation amount is being provided to the urban county. If your jurisdiction is a member of a HOME consortium, the HOME allocation amounts are being provided to the lead agency and are to be shared by consortium members. Our Field Offices stand ready to assist you in developing effective partnerships to address your housing and community development needs. We are committed to working closely with you to ensure speedy approval of your Consolidated Plan so that you will be able to access these funds promptly. We look forward to working with you in your efforts to build and strengthen your communities and neighborhoods. If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. ~e~in~ yours, Assistant Secretary RECEIVED MAYOR'S OFFi;.': Ms. Neva J.

Box 6359 Roanoke, VA 24017 Dear Mr. Smith: SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 1994 Comprehensive Grant Program (CGP) Reservation No. VA36P011703-94; Funding: $2,005,240 This letter is to inform you that your Annual Statement and revised Five Year Action Plan for the 1994 Comprehensive Grant Program (CGP) is approved in the amount of $2,005,240. The Comprehensive Plan approved with your first year CGP submission is binding upon HUD and the authority until such time as it is amended by the authority and approved by HUD. ~ This approval is based on the funding amount identified above which was furnished to you as a presumptive estimate. As advised in the Assistant Secretary's February 28, 1994 correspondence, the proposed CGP rule provides for the issuance of only one formula amount in a federal fiscal year. If the Department is successful in publishing a final rule this fiscal year, it is intended that the presumptive estimate also will be the final formula amount for fiscal year 1994. If that occurs, the Comprehensive Plan/Annual Statement that is approved on the basis of the presumptive estimate will not have to be revised. This approval does not constitute an endorsement of the authority's improvement strategies, fundin~ priorities, or Section 504 Needs Assessment and Transition Plan. It constitutes our determination that the plan complies with regulatory and handbook provisions and is, therefore, acceptable for implementation by the authority. The activities set forth in the Annual Statement shall be undertaken in accordance with the implementation requirements set forth in the CGP Handbook 7485.3 Particular attention should be given to: ' a. Resident and local government participation requirements during the implementation and monitoring of the Comprehensive Plan and Annual Statement contained in Chapter 5. b. Requirements for amending the Comprehensive Plan and Action Plan contained in Chapter 6, paragraph 6-14. c. Requirements for amending the Annual Statement contained in Chapter 8, paragraph 8-9. d. Conduct of approved activities contained in Chapter 11. e. Annual reporting requirements contained in Chapter 12. As noted above, the proposed rule for Amen~dments to the Comprehensive Grant Program was published March 8, 1994, with comments being due April 22, 1994. When amendments are published as a final rule, some of the administrative requirements listed above may be changed. We will keep you informed of program changes as they are issued. The environmental requirements as contained in 24 CFR Part 50 have been met.

With the retirement of our fine Fire Chief Rawleigh W. Quarles and the introduction of a new chief, we can only anticipate good and positive things happening in that department, which is one of the City's oldest municipal departments, and certainly one of our finest. I have discussed that status of the Fire/EMS study with the City Manager and have urged him to bring his recommendation forward in a timely manner. It behooves the Members of City Council to consider bringing these two departments together if it can produce a better response and better delivery of services. I would respectfully request that this issue of the merger of our Fire and Rescue Departments be referred to the 1995 Budget Study for further consideration by Roanoke City Council. Accordingly, I would ask that this letter be placed on the Consent Agenda of the next regular meeting of Council to be held on January 9, 1995, and thereafter refer the matter to Budget Study, with the request that all information regarding this issue be provided prior to Budget Study to the Members of Council for our further consideration.

SHOOT'ElY1! It's hard to believe that in this antibiotic abundant society children are still dying of oldfashioned, e~sfly preventable diseases like measles, whooping cough, and diphtheria, but they are! Curing eanches, sore throats and any number of obildhood complaints is so s~mple these days. Drop by the doctoCs office for a hotde of pink, "bubble gum" medicine (Ammil~) and after a couple of doses, the pain, fever, and crankiness are gone. Great, huh? Yes; but - some illnesses cannot he cured with antibiotics, and can he fatal. Parents have become used to the quick fix when it comes to a sick baby and have forgotten that many dlsea~es must he prevented through immunizations, or shots, rather than treated with "miracle" drags - that meam taking the baby to the doctor or health depart:merit when he is not sick! It is es·hated that a.s many a~ 5~ of children under 2 in Roanoke are not adequately kmmuraZed. That means these kxds are not protected from diseases that could kill them. That's a sad fact considering the health department provides flee tramuniranon to all the children of Roanoke without regard to mcome aligibility. The tmmuniza- tion program at the health department is worldng with the Community Based Health Care Project Coa[inon to examme and attack the problem of under immunized children in the city. Numerous ffee immunization clinics have been offered to city residents, some with transporta- tion provided. On-going clmics are located around the cie/and operate on various schedules. If you think your chid may be lacking mununizanom, or ffyou have misplaced Ns or her shot records, call your doctor or local health deperrment for help - Call today.

Grisso, Director of Finance SUBJECT: School Board Request for the Appropriation of School Funds, CMERP Funds and Bond Proceeds I have reviewed the attached request to appropriate funding for the School Board. This report will appropriate funding for a new grant in the School Fund. This grant is funded with federal funds and a local match of $5,957. Funding for the local match is available in the following account: Tuition In-State (030-060-6001-6229-0382) $5,957 This report also appropriates $121,412 from the School portion of the Capital Maintenance and Equipment Replacement Program. The CMERP funds will be used for the purchase of maintenance vehicles, the purchase of instructional and administrative computers, the purchase of operational and instructional furniture and equipment, and the alteration of grounds and facilities. This is the third appropriation of the School Board's FY94 CMERP funding of $2,020,436. This will leave an unappropriated balance of $663,477. The School Board further requests the appropriation of $338,675 from 1996 anticipated bond issue proceeds. The amount of $150,000 will be used for architectural design fees for the renovation of Jackson Middle School. The amount of $188,675 will be used for the installation of computer networks in the twenty elementary schools. Internal Revenue Service regulations (Section 1.150-2) require that the City declare its intent to reimburse itself from the proceeds of its general obligation bonds authorized pursuant to Ordinance 32131-080894, adopted by City Council on August 8, 1994. A resolution of this type accompanies the School Board's request for approval of the Literary Fund loan application for Jackson Middle School. A similar resolution which is attached to this report pertains to the computer network installation. I recommend that you concur with this request of the School Board.

E. Wayne Haiffis, Superintendent C. NelSon Harris, Chairman Excellence in Education Roanoke, Virginia January 9, 1995 Honorable Mayor David A. Bowers and Members of City Council Roanoke, Virginia Dear Mayor Bowers and Council Members: SUBJECT: Briefing - Recycling Program Update Please find below detailed information on the status of the curbside recycling program as well as a brief description of other current recycling programs. Portions of this information are being furnished in response to a specific council request. I. RESIDENTIAL CURBSIDE RECYCLING Proaram Backqround - Phase I of the curbside residential recycling program began in March 1991. At that time 4,000 residents from all four quadrants of the city were served on a weekly basis. Portions of the following neighborhoods were included: Mon: Fairview, Shenandoah West and Wilmont Tues: Round Hill Wed: Monterey, Garden City Thurs: Franklin Road and Colonial Heights Fri: Raleigh Court Phase II began in July 1992. At that time the recycling schedule was changed to every other week to improve the efficiency of collection. This change expanded the program to serve 16,000 residences in portions of the following neighborhoods (in addition to those listed above): Mon: Washington Heights, Norwood, Ridgewood, and Cherry Hill Tues: Airport North and Williamson Road Wed: Riverdale, Southeast, and Southern Hills Thurs: Raleigh Court, Wasena, South Roanoke, and Jefferson Hills Fri: Greater Deyerle and Grandin Court Honorable Mayor David A. Bowers and Members of City Council Page 2 Phase III Route Expansion - Planning for this phase is now underway and is being targeted for an early 1995 implementation date. After the Phase III expansion, approximately 65% of households serviced by the city will receive curbside recycling collection. Although the expansion routes have not been finalized, portions of the following neighborhoods are under consideration: Mon: N.W. Environmental Organization, Upper Loudon, Loudon Melrose, Melrose Rugby and Norwood Tues: Williamson Road Wed: Wildwood, Southeast, Hollins Road Thurs: Grandin Court, South Roanoke, Wasena, Old Southwest Fri: Grandin Court, Greater Deyerle and Raleigh Court (FY 93/94 Collection and Disposal Only) 1. Gross Collection Cost Per Ton 1993-1994 SWM - Recycling costs $142,283 + 1,253 tons/year = $113.55 2. Minus Material Revenues $1,032/month = $12,384/year $142,283 $12,384 = $130,013 + 1,253 tons/year = Minus Landfill Diversion $103.76 e 1,253 tons/year x $30/ton = $37,590 1.f. diversion $130,013 - $37,590 = $92,527 + 1,253 tons/year = Minus Landfill Grant Monies $ 73.84 Landfill grant money = $82,080/year $92,527 - $82,080 = $10,447 + 1,253 tons/year = 8.34 Honorable Mayor David A. Bowers and Members of City Council Page 3 Per Ton Costs (7/1/94 - 12/31/94 Collection and Disposal Only) Gross ~olleotion ~os~ Per Ton $79,463 + 570 tons/6 mos. = Minus Material Revenues $139.41 $2,400/month = $14,400/6 mos. $79,463 - $14,400 = $65,063 + 570 tons/6 mos. = Minus Landfill Diversion $114.15 570 tons/6 mos. x $40/ton = $22,800 1.f. diversion $65,063 - $22,800 = $42,263 + 570 tons/6 mos. = Minus Landfill Grant Monies $ 74.15 Landfill grant money = $41,040/6 mos. $42,263 $41,040 = $1,223 + 570 tons/6 mos. = Conclusion: As tipping fees continue to increase, we will soon reach the break- even point on the cost of collecting and disposing recyclables. $ 2.15 E. Participation Rates Phase Date ~mo. Partic. Rat______ge I 3/91 - 7/92 4 68% II 8/92 - pres. 2 40% The drop in the recycling participation rates from Phase I to Phase II can be explained by the change from weekly to every other week collection. National studies have shown that a drop in participation is typical when changing from weekly to biweekly collection. The cost savings from the change usually justifies the drop in participation, but mandating recycling collection or charging for refuse collection will usually increase participation. Honorable Mayor David A. Bowers and Members of City Council Page 4 Rec c 'n Ra es - are based on residential, commercial and industrial recycling materials generated from entities within the city limits. Based on Solid Waste Management collection data and other information from recycling businesses, the measured rates are as follows: Year Stat~ Measured Rate 1991 10% 15% 1993 15% 30% 1995 25% ? The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) currently requires that localities submit recycling reports only for the years listed above. The city's 1993 measured recycling rate of 30% has been submitted, but has yet to be approved by DEQ. Material Recovery Facility (MRF) - At the present time all recycling materials collected by the city are taken to a local recycler. A Request For Proposal seeking competitive bids for recycling commodities is currently being advertised. The anticipated award date for bids is March 1, 1995. GarbaGe Art Calendars - Prior to changing the curbside collection schedule to every other week in July 1992, it was realized that a public information piece would be required to keep participants on schedule. It was decided that an annual garbage art calendar would be a creative way to involve the arts community and to inform the public about the recycling program. The first calendar (1993) was submitted for a national award and won an honorable mention from the City County Communications (3CMA) organization. The 1995 calendar has been mailed to all curbside recycling households. II. CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT (CBD) MIXED PAPER PROGRAM This program offers service to over 500 businesses in the downtown area Monday through Friday. Mixed paper in transparent blue bags and corrugated cardboard are collected after 8 p.m. Recyclables collected during the 1993-1994 fiscal year totalled 690 tons which is approximately one-third of the total waste collected from the downtown area. This resulted in a savings of $20.700 in landfill tipping fees. Honorable Mayor David A. Bowers and Members of City Council Page 5 III. IV. Currently ordinance changes are being developed to encourage participation and increase diversion rates. BAGGED LEAVES - curbside collection service is offered six or seven weeks in the fall. During the last few years, leaves have been debagged and mulched at a site where rental costs for the leased property, tub grinder and front loader were shared by the city and county. The leaf mulch is annually offered free to the public. Over a four-year period (1990-1993) an average of 450 ~ of bagged leaves were collected by city vehicles. This resulted in an average savings of ~ in tipping fees. The overall average collection cost to the city was ~ and mulching costs averaged ~. During the 1994 leaf season residents were offered weekly curbside bagged leaf collection service from October 31 through December 16 (with the exception of Thanksgiving week). CHRISTMAS TREES - are collected at the curb during two weeks after the New Year. Some years the Christmas trees were taken to the landfill and the city was charged the reduced brush tipping fee. Other years the trees have been taken to another site where rental costs for the leased property, tub grinder and front loader are shared by the city and county. Annually the Christmas tree mulch is offered free to the public. Over a five-year period (1990-1994), an average of 85 tons/year of Christmas trees were collected. This has resulted in an average savings of ~ in tipping fees. Overall the average collection cost to the city was ~ and mulching costs averaged ~. BULK BRUSH - curbside collection is provided to citizens on an every other week, call-in basis. Residents must schedule pick- up for brush quantities greater than a four foot long x four foot wide x four foot high pile (4x4x4). This service is provided by one crane-type truck operated by a Sanitation Driver/Leader. Mulch is offered free of charge to the public at the transfer station and at the Courtland Road city lot. From August 1993 through June 1994 approximately 2.230 tons of brush was collected by city vehicles. Approximately half of Honorable Mayor David A. Bowers and Members of City Council Page 6 VI. VII. the tonnage (1,160 tons) was a result of broken limbs from winter ice storms. The rental of brush mulching equipment (tub grinder and front loader) cost $51.000 ($8,500/month for six months). The landfill diversion costs however for 2,230 tons of brush at $30/ton was $66,900. Current tipping fees for brush at the landfill are $35/ton. BULK ITEM - curbside collection is provided to citizens on an every-other-week basis. Residents must call to schedule a pick-up for a maximum of six items per collection. Bulk items are serviced by one crane-type truck operated by a Sanitation Driver/Leader. During the 1993-1994 fiscal year, approximately 776 tons of bulk items were landfilled (at $30/ton) at a cost of $23,280 in tipping fees. The current tipping fees are $40/ton for these materials but an alternate disposal program is being developed by the Resource Authority. This program will provide for the removal of capacitors and freon so that the remaining scrap metal can be marketed for recycling. A program start-up date will not be announced for a year or more. During March and April 1994, a special bulk blitz was conducted in certain areas of the city to clean-up unsightly piles. Approximately 46.5 tons of bulk materials were collected and landfilled at a cost of $1.395. Manpower wages (primarily overtime) totalled $2,654. BACKYARD COMPOSTING - in 1991 a committee was formed to develop a demonstration site and a program for backyard composting in the Roanoke Valley. A demonstration site is now open at Virginia Western Community College where workshops were offered to residents this fall. City extension agent, John Arbogast, conducted four workshops where residents learned how to divert organic household wastes from the landfill and turn them into a valuable product. A $7,000 state grant secured through the Clean Valley Council was used to purchase composting bins for workshop participants. Due to the overwhelming response, additional workshops will be conducted in the spring including some sponsored by the city. Honorable Mayor David A. Bowers and Members of City Council Page 7 Representatives of the Department of Solid Waste Management will present Council information concerning the City's Recycling Program at your meeting on January 9, 1995.

ATTEST: City Clerk. January 9, 95-01 1995 Honorable Mayor and City Council Roanoke, Virginia Dear Members of Council: SUBJECT: T.R%VE OF ABSENCE FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES BACKGROUND ON '£H~ SUBJECT BASED ON LEGAL REQu~E~TS ARE AS FOT.TOWS: ae Leave of Absence for Educational PurDoses and and re~ were questioned by Councilman September 14, 1992 City Council meeting. slated rulen White at the Code of the City of Roanoke 1979 as amended, Chapter 2, Section 2-45, sets out the following criteria for leave of absence for educational purposes. Leave of absence, not to exceed 12 consecutive months for educational purposes, may be granted to a City employee upon approval of the City Manager and Council if the course of instruction will be of continuous benefit to the City in the employee's performance of his or her assigned duties. Employee Granted such leave shall be compensated in an amount not exceeding 50% of the rate of compensation received by the employee at the commencement of the leave. Employee shall agree to remain in the employment of tho City for a period of three consecutive years following termination of the leave or if employment is terminated employee will reimburse the City for all compensation (including fringe benefits) paid to him during the leave. Such reimbursement is subject to proration if the employee returns for a portion of the three year period. Only one employee of the City shall be qranted or be on educational leave at any one time, and his or her duties and responsibilities must be adequately performed by another person employed by the City. The Cit Mana er is authorized to promulgate such rules and regulations as he may deem necessary to carry out and administer the granting of leaves of absence for educational purposes. Honorable Mayor and City Council Page 2 Code of the City of Roanoke does not set out the minimum time-in-service an employee must serve before becoming eligible for Leave of Absence for Educational Purposes. II. cua~l~T SITUATION IS AS FOLLOWS: In accordance with authority aranted to him to promulgate rules implementing this program, the City Manager has issued a rule that future employees must have been a full-time regular City employee for at least three years before a leave of absence for educational purposes will be considered. Allowina only one employee at a time to be ~ranted educational leave limits departmental flexibility as there are times when offering this benefit to more than one person would be beneficial to the City and the employee. III. ISSUES A. Flexibility B. Benefit to the City. IV. ALTEI~ATIVES IN Ol%Dl~ OF FEASIBILIT~ Al~ AS FOLLOWS: Council a rove an amendment to Sec. 2-45 of the City Code to allow granting of educational leave for two employees at any one time. This amendment is conditioned upon not allowing more than one person from the same directorate to be on educational leave at the same time. ~ will be enhanced by allowing two employees to be on leave at any one time. Benefits to the City will accrue by virtue of having more educated employees which in turn should lead to increased commitment to the City and to the work they perform. Be Council take no action, thus allowing only one employee to be granted educational leave at any one time. Flexibilit to offer this benefit will be restricted to one person at any given time. Benefits to City will be restricted because only one person may receive this benefit at a time. Honorable Mayor and City Council Page 3 ~ECOMMENDATION Council a~rove an amendment to Sec. 2-45 of the City Code to grant educational leave for two employees at any one time as specified in Alternative A above.

Background on the subject in chronological order is: The prior year General Fund Capital Maintenance and Equipment Replacement Program identified the need for a Mobile Storage/File System for the Office of the Clerk of Court, Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. A Mobile Storaqe/File System is movable, high density file and storage equipment that will provide for increased storage capacity for required files located in the Office of the Clerk of Court, Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. Specifications for the requested system were developed and along with request for quotation, were sent to seven (7) vendors. A public advertisement was also published in the Roanoke Times and Roanoke Tribune. II. Current Situation is: One (1) bid response was received. That response was submitted by Spacesaver Storage Systems, Inc./Business Equipment and Systems, Inc. for a total project cost of $29~346.00. The bid received was evaluated by representatives of Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court and General Services. This system is very similar to the system approved by City Council for the Clerk of the Circuit Court. Spacesaver Storage System, Inc./Business Equipment and Systems, Inc. was the provider of that system. Two bids were received for the Clerk of Circuit Court System.

ATTEST: City Clerk. January 9, 1994 Roanoke, Virginia 94-525 Honorable Mayor and City Council Roanoke, Virginia Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of Council: Subject: Service Delivery Area Agreements between the Fifth District Employment and Training Consortium and the Governor's Employment and Training Department for Program Year July 1, 1994 through June 30, 1995. BACKGROUND City of Roanoke has been designated as the grant recipient of funds received by the Fifth District Employment and Training Consortium (FDETC) under the Job Training Parmership Act. The Ci_ty of Roanoke acts as fiscal depository of all Consortium funds, by agreement of the localities within the Fifth Planning District. Fifth Planning District has been designated as a service delivery area (SDA), by the Governor of Virginia. II. CURRENT SITUATION Governor's Employment and Training Department requires concurrence with the attached Agreements by the FDETC Policy Board, Private Industry Council and the City, as the depository of the funds. The A~reements, which have not changed significantly from Program Year 1993- 1994, clarify the roles, responsibilities, and liability of the SDA which includes FDETC Policy Board, Private Industry Council, and the grant recipient (City of Roanoke). Contract JTPA #95-113-03 covers funding and obligations related to Title II for economically disadvantaged youth and adults. Contract E-95-113-03 covers funding and obligations related to Title III activities for dislocated workers, persons who have been laid off or terminated through no fault of their own. D. Authority to execute appropriate documents is needed from City Council. City Council Report January 9, 1994 Page 2 III. ISSUES A. Legal Requirements B. Liability IV. ALTERNATIVES A. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to sign the attached Agreements. Legal Requirements - The Agreements meet the requirements of the Job Training Partnership Act and review by the City Attorney's office will ensure compliance with local requirements. Liability - Pursuant to a separate agremment between the Policy Board and the member jurisdictions, any liability rests with the Policy Board, which is made up of representatives from the Fifth Planning District; however, the City is liable for the proper deposit of these funds. Do not authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to sign the attached Agreements. Legal Requirements - The legal requirements of the Job Training Parmership Act would not be met. 2. Liability - With no formal agreement, liability would not be an issue. RECOMMENDATION Adopt Alternative A which authorizes the City Manager, or his desi~,nee, to si~n the attached Agreements with the Governor's Employment and Training Department for Program Year 1994 - 1995.

On November 28, 1994, City Council adopted its Legislative Program including a statement on charter schools. City Council's statement, based on the position adopted by the Roanoke City School Board, opposed charter schools "outside the jurisdiction of the local school board". Subsequent to City Council's action, it became apparent that charter schools being proposed in Virginia might operate outside the jurisdiction of local school boards. Thereafter, at its meeting of December 13, 1994, the School Board adopted a resolution opposing such charter schools. By the attached resolution, City Council may express its opposition to charter schools of the type opposed by the School Board. The attached resolution opposes diversion of public funds to charter schools that do not insure equity for all children in terms of access, funding and program quality and which are not under the jurisdiction of local school boards.

Franklin, Secretary, City Planning Commission Roanoke City Planning Commission January 9, 1995 The Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor and Members of City Council Roanoke, Virginia Dear Members of Council: Subject: Application of Douglas Basham to close and vacate a portion of an alley extending in a southeasterly direction from Lofton Road, S.W., for a distance of approximately 160 feet. I. BackgLound: Apolication of Douglas Basham was initially submitted to the City on June 7, 1994, requesting the closure and vacation of a portion of an alley shown on the City's official maps as a part of the City's public alley system. Official disposition of Mr. Basham's application has been complicated by the following issues: The subject alley was created in 1924 as a part of a residential subdivision, plated by the Weaver Heights Corporation. This subdivider and owner specifically provided thereon that the alleys within the subdivision area not intended or dedicated for public use. City maps indicate that the alley is part of the City's system of streets and alleys. Accordingly, there is doubt as to the City's interest in the subject property. City, over the span of the past 70 years, has apparently made no effort to open, construct or prepare the subject alley for public use or for use of any abutting property owner. Neighborhood opinion is divided on the issue. Twenty-nine lots abut the alley system in this residential block. Public comment and written Room162 MunicipalBuilding 215ChurchAvenue, S.W. Roanoke, Virginia24011 (703)981-2344 Members of Council Page 2 statements provided to the Planning Commission indicate that community opinion on the issue is divided as follows: a. 17 property owners are in favor of closing the alley. 3 property owners o__~pose the closure of the alley. c. 9 property owners have not re _s~onded to the issue. 1 of the property owners listed in Co.) above, wants the City to open the alley. C. Official action on Mr. Basham's application has progressed as follows: Planning Commission initially reviewed the application on July 6, 1994, and by a vote of 3-2 recommended that City_ Council approve Mr. Basham's request to close and vacate the subject alley section. i ncil rev, wed the application and the recommendation of the Planning Commission on September 12, 1994. City Council referred the amflicafion back to the Planning Commission for further study and recommendation. Plannine Commission staff, on October 19, 1994, met with the applicant and other affected property owners to discuss the possibility of reaching a mutual agreement on the future use of the subject alley. Property. wn Id not a tee on the future status of the subject alley. o Application was scheduled to be reheard by the Planning Commission on November 2, 1994. Application was subsequently carried over to the next scheduled meeting at the request of an abutting property owner and with the consent of the applicant. Planning, Commission reviewed the application a~,ain at its regular meeting of December 7, 1994. Commission members heard the recommendation of the Planning staff, which included the following: 1. City had no interest in title to the subject alley. City had apparently not used or maintained the alley for public use, at any time, since its original platting. Disposition and future use of the alley should be decided by owners of lots within the subdivision. Members of Council Page 3 II. Issues: A. B. C. D. E. F. Commission should recommend that City Council approve the applicant's request,, thereby vacating such interest as the City may have, if any, in the subject alley. Plannin~ Commission heard comments from the following property owners: Mr. Basham and Ms. Margaret Keyser (2701 Guilford Avenue) spoke in favor of the requested closure. Mrs. Kathy Hutchinson (2453 Livingston Road) and Mr. Gary Thacker (2567 Livingston Road) spoke in opposition to the requested closure. Mr. Basham submitted the signed statements of 17 abutting property owners to the Commission. Traffic impact. Utilities within the subject alley. Creation of a dead-end all~y. Land use. Alternatives: Deny the applicant's request to close and vacate the subject section of alley. 1. N ihb rhood im a : Applicant and other property owners in subdivision will retain the option of resolving the alley issue by other legal means as provided for by law. ~ will not be an issue. Utilities within the subject alley will not be an issue. Creation of a dead-end alley will not be an issue. Land use will not be an issue. 3. 4. 5. Members of Council Page 4 6. Relationship to the comprehensive plan will not be an issue. Aoprove the applicant's reeue~t to close and vacate the described section of alley, thereby vacating such interests as the City may have, if any, in such alley section. Neighborhood impact. Abutting property owners, Kathy Hutchinson, Gary Thacker and Andrew Hamer (2497 Livingston Road), and owners of other lots in the subdivision, would retain the option of resolving the issue of the alley's disposition and future use by other legal means as provided for by law. 2. Traffic impact would not be an issue. Utilities within the subject alley. There are no utilities within the subject alley section. Creation of a dead-end alley. Closure and vacation as requested would create a dead-end alley. It is unlikely, however, that the remaining section of this alley would ever be opened due to the number of trees and encroaching buildings that are located within its boundaries, assuming that the City has authority to open the remaining alley. Relationshio to the comprehensive plan Vacation of the City's interest would facilitate the resolution of the alley's status as publicly- or privately-owned property. Separation of publicly- and privately-owned land would be consistent with the intent of the comprehensive plan. IV. ~: Planning Commission, by a vote of 5-1-1 (Mr. Price voting for the closure, Mr. Bradshaw abstaining from the vote) recommends that City Council deny the applicant's request to close and vacate the subject alley section.

Price, Jr., Chairman Roanoke City Planning Commission Members of Council Page 5 CAP:ERT:mpf attachments cc: Assistant City Attorney Director of Public Works City Engineer Building Commissioner Petitioner Roanoke City Planning Commission November 2, 1994 Mr. Charles A.

City_ Council, on September 12, 1994, reviewed the subject application and thc recommendation of the Planning Commission. Planning staff advised Council of the following issues: City staff had been unable to find any evidence that the City had any interest in title to the subject undeveloped alley section. City staff had been unable to find any evidence that the City had, at any time, made any effort to open or maintain the subject alley section for any purpose of public or private use, since its original platting as a part of the Grandin Court subdivision in 1924. If the City elected to vacate the subject alley it would merely be vacating such interest as the City may have, if any, in the alley section. The City would not, in fact, be conveying any portion of the alley section to any abutting property owner. o Disposition of the land within the alley or its potential use for access by the abutting property owners would have to be decided by the owners of the lots within the subdivision. Room 162 Municipal Building 215 Church Avenue, SW Roanoke, Virginia 24011 (703) 981-2344 Members of the Commission Page 2 City_ Council inuuired of the City_ Att0rn~y as to why the City was being asked to vacate the alley if it did not, in fact, own the alley? City Attorney responded, in general, as follows: It has been the customary practice of the City under the provisions of Section 30-14 of the City Code to require that application be made to the City prior to the vacation of any right-of-way where such right-of-way has previously been shown and designated on the City's official maps as a public street or alley; and, by reason of the fact that any such right-of-way has been so shown and designated on such official maps as a public street or alley, it could be argued by an attorney that the City has some degree of interest in such street or alley. City_ Council referred the matter back to the Planning, Commissi9~ for the purpose of meeting with the petitioner and affected property owners to determine if a mutual agreement could be reached that would be acceptable to both sides of the pending issue. ~, on October 19, 1994, met with the applicant and the affected property owners to discuss the possibility of reaching a mutual agreement on the future use of the subject alley section. Accord could not be reached in view of the fact that positions of the affected property owners are conclusively and fmuly set on the issue of vacation versus opening of the alley for public use. Conclusions: Planning staff retains the opinion that the City has no interest in title to the subject alley section, and theffore, the current issue of the alley's disposition or future use for access should be decided and determined by the owners of the properties in the subdivision. The Planning staff's recommendation remains unchanged that the Ci_ty should vacate ~ny such interests it has. if any. in the subiect alley, thereby clearing the way for the abutting property owners to settle the matter in a legal and appropriate manner as provided for by law. Planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission's initial report and recommendation to City Council be revised only to delete the condition requiring the Members of the Commission Page 3 applicant to submit to the City, receive approval thereof, and record with the Clerk, a subdivision plat within a specified period of time. Respectfully submilted, Jo~n/R. Marlles, Agent R~laitoke City Planning Commission JRM:ERT:mpf attachment cc: Assistant City Attorney Director of Public Works City Engineer Building Commissioner Zoning Administrator Petitioner Department of Planning and Community Development Planning Division September 12, 1994 Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Roanoke, Virginia Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council: Subject: Request from Douglas Basham to close and permanently vacate a portion of a public alley extending in a southeasterly direction from Lofton Road, S. W., for a distance of approximately 160 feet. I. Background: ADDlication is a request for the City to close and permanently vacate a certain section of a platted ("paper") alley system, as the same extends from Lofton Road between, and alongside the properties located at 2452 and 2454 Lofton Road, S. W. (See attached Map A.) Portion of alley requested for closure is a 15-foot wide, 160-foot long section of a ~latted, but undeveloped alley system that extends into this community block (Block 4) from both Lofton Road and Livingston Road, S. W. Overall alley system abuts 28 residential lots and has a combined length of approximately 1,100 feet. Residential lots and the sub,eot alley system were originally platted as a part of the Grandin Court subdivision (Weaver Heights corporation, 1924). This plat specifically reserved the exclusive rights to the streets, roads and alleys shown on such plat, for Weaver Heights Corporation. Alley system, however, has been shown on all official city map~, as a part of this subdivision for many years. City, however, has apparently made no effort on its own, or on behalf of any abutting property owner(s) to open and develop any part of this alley system for public use during this long and extended period of time. Notification of this request for closure was mailed to 20 individual owners of properties that abut the main portion of this alley right-of-system. II. Current Situation: Planning Comiseion reviewed Mr. Basham'e application at its regular meeting of July 6, 1994. ApDlicant {Haeham) owns the ~ro~erty (2452 Loft~n Road) abutting the easterly side of the section of alley requested for closure. Applicant stated that his purpose in requesting the closure of the subject alley section was as follows: 1. To preserve the existing peace and privacy of his property, as well as that of his immediate and adjacent neighbor. Room 162 Municipal Building 215 Church Avenue, S.W. Roanoke, Virginia 2.4011 (703) 981-2344 Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Page 2 .To avoid any future nuisance and noise of traffic passing alongside the yard and side entrance to his residence. To preserve and maintain the area in the alley right-of-way, aa he has done for the past ? years, without complaint, as an adjunct to his and his neighbor's (Sowers) properties (yards). Owners of other properties abutting the section of alley requested for closure are as follows: Billy and Virginia Sowers - Tax No. 1551132 2454 Lofton Road 2. Marion Thacker - Tax No. 1551133 246? Llvington Road Public comment and concerns expressed during the public hearinq by individual property owners, other than the applicant, were as follows: Mrs. Virginia Sowers of 2454 Lofton Road stated that she was in favor of closing the alley. Mrs. Sowers noted the following concerns: The alley right-of-way, if opened, would allow traffic to pass within 6 feet of the side of her house. Traffic passing through the alley would be a nuisance, as numerous children play on the sidewalks and in the adjacent yards. The alley is undeveloped and if it were opened vehicles would have to back out of the alley because there would be no area for these vehicles to turn around in. Mrs. Kathy Hutchinson of 2253 Livington Road, S. W., stated that she was opposed to the closure of the alley section. Mrs. Hutchison expressed the following concerns: She had plans to o~en this section of the alley for use by her vehicles, as well as a motor home, as she wanted to park the motor home and trailer off the street. There are large trees in the longer alley (section extending from the east) which would prohibit them frum getting to their property. she and her husband had purchased the property with the k~owledge that the alley was there. Mr. Gary Thacker, at 2467 Livington Road, S. W., stated that he would like to see the alley r~ain open. Mr. Thacker noted the following concerns: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council · Page 3 III. That access to properties was very critical in property valuation. Closure of the alley would affect the economic value of the property at 246? Livington Road. The property would be more valuable if the alley was left open. Mr. Andrew Harner, at 2449 Livington Road, S. W., stated that he would like to know that he had a perpetual easement over the subject alley right-of-way. Mr. Namer's statements included the following= He could possibly need access to the rear of his property at sometime in the future. Ne did not want the potential for future access to his back yard cutoff, as he had bought the property knowing that this access was there. E. City staffr in response to ~uestions from the Commission~ provided the following related information= The overall alley system in this block abuts 28 residential properties. None of these properties have been provided with any public alley access to their properties over any part of this abutting alley system. The distance between the structures at 2452 and 2454 Lofton Road is a~roxi~ately 22 feet. The subject alley right-of- way is 15 feet wide. The alley right-of-way, if opened, would be established at approximately 5 feet from the exterior wall of 2454 Lofton, and at approximately 2 feet from the side entrance steps to 2452 Lofton. The alley ayatm extending through this community block has rmainad in an undeveloped and dormant state for many years. The land within the alley system has consequently taken on the appearance and character of the abutting residential land uses (encroaching buildings, large trees, grassy lawns, etc.). B. C. D. E. Ne£ghborhood impact. Traffic impact. Utilitiel in the public right-of-way. Creation of a dead-end alley. Land use. F. com~rehensive ~lan. Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Page 4 IV. Alternatives: Approve the applicant's request to close and vacate the alley section as described, thereby vacating such interest as the City may have, if any, in said alley section, subject to conditions as set out in section V of this report. 1. Neighborhood impact= (a) The applicant Douglas Basham, who is the owner of the property abutting the easterly side of the subject alley, and Mrs. Virginia Sowers, the owner of the property abutting the westerly side of the subject alley, will be enabled to retain the land within the alley section as an adjunct to their existing yards. (h) Mrs. Hutchinson of 2253 Living~on Road will not be enabled to apply to the city to have the subject alley section opened and improved (developed) for public (c) Mr. Thacker at 2467 Living=on Road will oppose the closure on the basis of his previously stated (d) Mr. Hamer of 2449 Livington Road will oppose the closure on the basis of his previously stated concerns. 4e Traffio impact: Alley system does not currently serve any abutting properties. Closure of this undeveloped alley section will have no effect on traffic or traffic needs. Utilities within the right-of-way: There are no City utilities within the subject alley right- of-way. The City will, however, retain an easement for any utility that may be located therein. Creation of a dead-end alley: Closure will create a dead-end (paper) alley. Remaining section of the alley system is occupied by large trees and certain structures. Opening of the remaining section of this alley system, in the future, would be impractical due to high develop.eh= costs. Providing a turnaround for this remaining section would be a useless provision. Land use: (a) Closure and vacation of the subject alley section will result in the creation of new lot lines. Subdivision plat should be required to legally establish new division lines. (b) Available records indicate that the alley rights-of- way in this subdivision were never dedicated to the Honorable Mayor and Herabers of City Council Page 5 City for public use. Closure and vacation of this section, by the City, will, in effect, divest the City of any such interests that it may have, if any, in the subject alley section and remove the subject alley right-of-way from all official City maps. (c) Final ownership and ultimate use of the subject alley section could possibly be the subject of future litigation between the opposing property owners. 6. Relationshl~ to the Com~rehensive Plans Alley section has remained undeveloped, unproductive and in a non-taxable status for 40 years or more. Closure and combination of the land within the right-of-way with abutting properties, would be consistent with the intent of the comprehensive plan. Deny the applicant's rec~uest to close and vacate the subject section of alley. 1. Neighborhood im~act~ Mr. Douglas Basham at 2452 Lofton Road, $. W., and Mrs. Virginia Sowers at 2454 Lofton Road, S. W., will not be enabled to preserve and mintain the land area within the subject alley right-of-way as an adjunct to their propeL~cies (yards). Mrs. Kathy Hutchinson at 2253 Livington Road will retain the option of requesting the City to open and develop the subject alley section for public use. (c) Mr. Gary Thacker of 2467 Living~on Road and Mr. Andrew Hamer of 2449 Livington Road will be satisfied that the subject alley section will rmmin available for their future uses. 2. Traffic Denial will have no impact on traffic or traffic needs in the are~. 3. Utilities in the ~ublic right-of-way Denial will have no impact on utilities. 4. Creation of a dead-end alle~: (a) Denial will not affect the issue of a dead-end alley. Dead-end alley could be an issue if the subject 150- foo~ section of alley is opened in the future. 5. Land use: (a) Alley right-of-way systom is occupied at numerous points by large trees, utility buildings and other Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Page 6 Ve structures. Alley system abuts 28 individual properties. Alley system has remained inactive and undeveloped to date. Elements of community peace and privacy are firmly fixed and well established in this residential community, city should vacate any interests it may have, if any, in this entire alley system. Denial of the current request for partial closure will in effect retain such interests that the City may have (if any) in a non-productive and potentially contestable land use. (b) Denial will enable abutting property owners to apply to the City to have a portion of this alley system opened and improved for public use. O~ening of this section of alley will have a disruptive and negative affect on the immediate and adjacent land uses. 6. Relationship to the Comprehensive Plan: Retaining interests in unproductive and undeveloped alley rights-of-way would be inconsistent with the intent of the comprehensive plan, that available land should be used in the most advantageous and productive manner. Recommendation: Planning Commission by a vote of 3 to 2, Mr. Bradshaw and Mrs. Coles absent, recommends that City Council approve the applicant's request to close and vacate the described section of alley right-of-way, thereby vacating such interests as the City may have, if any, in said alley, subject to the following conditions: The applicant shall submit to the City for its review and approval, receive approval of, and record in the office of the Roanoke City Circuit Court, a subdivision plat, providing for the followings The disposition of the land within the right-of-way to be vacated, in a manner consistent with the requirements of Chapter 31, Subdivisions, of the Code of the city of Roanoke (1979), as amended. The retention of appropriate easements, together with the right of public passage over the same, for surface and subsurface installation and maintenance of any and all existing utilities that may be located within the alley right-of-way. If a plat of subdivision is not approved by the City and recorded by the applicant within a period of 12 months from the date of the adoption of the ordinance providing for the closure of the subject Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Page ? CAP/ERT/& right-of-way, then said ordinance Bhall be null and void with no further action by City Council being necessary. Respectfully submitted, Charles A.

Bowers, and Members of Council Roanoke, Virginia Mayor Dear Members of Council: SUBJECT: Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) Enhancement Project Application I. Background: Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) was signed into federal law in December, 1991, providing new transportation legislation that places the power of decision-making with state and local governments. BJ ISTEA requires state departments for transportation to set aside a MINIMUM of 10 percent of their Surface Transportation Program (STP) allocation each year to be used for the following types of "enhancement" activities: 1. Provision of facilities for pedestrians and bicycles 2. Acquisition of scenic easements and scenic or historic sites 3. Scenic or historic highway programs 4. Landscaping and other scenic beautification 5. Historic preservation Rehabilitation and operation of historic transportation buildings, structures or facilities (including historic railroad facilities and canals) Preservation of abandoned railway corridors (including the conversion and use thereof for pedestrian or bicycle trails) 8. Control and removal of outdoor advertising Members of Council Page 2 II. 9. Archaeological planning and research 10. Mitigation of water pollution due to highway runoff These projects enhance the physical environment, and allow the State to do more than would normally be done on a proposed project. An enhancement may also be accomplished as a stand-alone project, although it must relate to a transportation mode and meet the eligibility criteria. In Virginia, this minimum 10 percent figure equals $7.5 million in enhancement funds annually. While any one locality is not assured any of these funds, the State wants to ensure geographic distribution of the money across the state. Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) held a public meeting regarding the ISTEA enhancement program in Christiansburg on November 1, 1994 at which citizens were able to ask questions and learn more about this program. Information packet concerning ISTEA Enhancement Program was mailed directly to over 60 persons and organizations in Roanoke that were identified as having possible interest in this program. The packet included the timetable for the project application process in Roanoke. Current Situation: One (1) enhancement project application (summarized on Attachment A) is presented to Council for its endorsement. This is Roanoke's only project application for this year's ISTEA Enhancement program. Project application must be formally endorsed by City Council and the Metropolitan Planning Organization (prior to submittal to VDOT by January 31, 1995). Project selection by the State will use criteria listed on the attached page from VDOT's Enhancement Program brochure (Attachment B). An Advisory Committee has been selected by the Commonwealth Transportation Board, with each of the interests in the 10 categories listed above in I.B. represented on the Committee. Employees of VDOT are not on the committee. The committee will be responsible for Members of Council Page 3 III. ranking projects and then making recommendations to the Environmental Subcommittee of the Transportation Board who then will refer recommendations to the full Board for approval, which is expected to be done in June, 1995. City Council resolution that would endorse this project application also requires, according to VDOT, that the City of Roanoke agree to pay a minimum of 20 percent of the total cost for planning and design, right-of-way, and construction of the project, and that, if the City subsequently elects to cancel the project, the City agrees to reimburse VDOT for the total amount of the costs expended by VDOT through the date of cancellation. Roanoke's Bond Referendum approved by voters on November 8, 1994 included $1,500~000 for Phase I of this project which would provide the boardwalk and lighting. Phase II would provide the remaining benches and landscaping at an estimated cost of $1,034,500. This application requests $1,000~000, which is the maximum amount that can be awarded for an individual project. Therefore, this application proposes that Roanoke can pay 60% of the total project cost (Phase I and II combined). Issues: A. Timing B. Funding IV. Alternatives: ao City Council endorse the project application which is described in Attachment A, and agree to pay 60 percent of the total project cost for the project. 1. Timing is important. The project application must be submitted to VDOT by January 31, 1995. Funding for the project, if approved by the State, is a maximum of 40 percent federal funds and a minimum of 60 percent local funds. (VDOT requires the City to agree to pay a minimum of 20 percent of the total project cost for this project). Members of Council Page 4 B. City Council not endorse the project application described in Attachment A. 1. Timing would not be an issue. 2. Fundinq, in the amount of 40 percent federal funds, would not be available. Recommendation is that City Council approve Alternative "A" and: A. Endorse by resolution the project application which is summarized in Attachment A. Be Agree to pay 60 percent of total project cost and that, if the City elects to cancel the project, the City would reimburse VDOT for the total amount of costs associated with any work completed on the project through the date of cancellation notice. Respectfully submitted, City Manager WRH:RKB:gpe Attachment copy: City Attorney Director of Finance Director of Public Works Manager, Office of Management & Budget Chief, Planning and Community Development Traffic Engineer ATTACHMENT A ISTEA ENIIANCEMENT APPIJCA'I'ION APPLICANT : City of Roanoke PROJECT / DE SCRI PT I ON: The Railside Linear Park will provide an essential link between Roanoke's famous Market district, The Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center, central business district, Gainsboro neighborhood and the Virginia Museum of Transportation. The pedestrian walkway will serve as a spine from which each of these downtown attractions can be approached. At the east end of the walkway is the Market area with the historic open-air farmer's market at its core. Anchoring the west end of the proposed linear parkway is the Virginia Museum of Transportation. The .challenge to encourage pedestrian traffic along Norfolk Avenue and the railroad tracks can be met through the creation of an elevated walkway. The solution addresses the "railroad theme" by alluding to a passenger station platform while reinforcing the strong linear emphasis of the railroad tracks. In raising the walkway three to four feet above grade, pedestrians will be protected from vehicular traffic along the two-lane Norfolk Avenue while affording spectators a dramatic view of passing trains. Beginning in the vicinity of the intersection of Market Street with Norfolk Avenue, the 15-foot wide pedestrian way will parallel the existing Norfolk-Southern railroad tracks until it reaches the First Street bridge where it transitions to the front (south) side of "Warehouse Row", a series of former warehouse buildings now listed on the historic registry. This concept affords an opportunity for a "multi-experiential" pedestrian path.
