1995 State of the City -- Part IV
Mill Mountain Incline
July 12, 1995
Mayor David A. Bowers
I am pleased to be here before our famous Star on Mill Mountain this
morning to honor M. Carl Andrews. He was a strong defender of this mountain, and
recognized, perhaps more than others, the truly unique nature of the very existence
of this mountain in our great City.
Mr. Andrews, along with our current Mill Mountain Development
Committee, have as their task the preservation and conservation of this unique
natural resource, but at the same time, we all join in making sure that this mountain
will not be negiected. Accordingly, I am proposing today that City Council direct
the City Manager to formulate a task force with the purpose of seeking ways to
connect Mill Mountain to downtown Roanoke, our other destination attraction here in
the City of Roanoke.
Yesterday, we announced "outlook -- downtown Roanoke." Today, we
announce "lookout -- o__~n downtown Roanoke."
In my term as Mayor, I continue to emphasize tourism initiatives,
including the opening of The Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center, the development
of the railwalk, and funding to the Virginia Museum of Transportation, increased
funding for the Roanoke Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau, and continued
funding for Explore Park. I am convinced that we cannot neglect this most valuable
resource, namely, Mill Mountain, in that equation and that it is prudent to consider
ways in which to connect the mountain to other areas of our City.
I am really talking about a better and more unique transportation access
to the top of the mountain. Some form of alternative access would be a tourism draw,
and would be an exciting future project for our City.
It is time to bring back the tram to Mill Mountain... or provide some
other alternative access to connect the mountain to the City.
Thus far, I have heard of the following proposals:
1. Reinstituting of the historic tram line on the west side of Mill Mountain.
2. Installation of a tram line on the north face of the mountain.
Development of a gondola from Mill Mountain to an area just south of downtown
Roanoke.
Development of a cable car along the Fishburn Parkway to the top of the
mountain.
5. There may be other suggestions.
I would ask that the financial involvement of the City remain only as a
proprietor of this precious park, or in a limited way for a feasibility study.
2
In an effort toward privatization and public/private partnership, it
would be my hope that this project, though planned by our community, would be
operated on a contractual, private, and hopefully profitable basis by private
business.
This project is only conceptual in nature at this time, but many, many
citizens of our community, particularly over recent months, have talked to me about
the need for alternative transportation access to Mill Mountain. Visitors who have
traveled to Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga, or visited other mountain tramways or
gondolas, know that they are exciting tourism destination projects and, from the
many Roanokers who have talked to me, I am now convinced that it is time for
Roanoke, as we look into the next century, to begin planning our alternative access
project for Mill Mountain. You will never regret the trip!
I am requesting that this matter be placed on the next Consent Agenda
for Roanoke City Council, and thereafter be referred to the City Manager for the
appropriate response and implementation.

Dear Bill:
I am writing to follow up on your July 11, 1995 telephone call concerning statements made by
Mrs. R. Murphy-Kelso regarding natural gas leaks near the vicinity of 4449 Summitt Drive, N. W.
Around 4:00 p.ns, July 10, 1995, Roanoke Gas Company received a call informing us that Mrs.
Murphy-Kelso, while addressing City Council, expressed concern regarding several gas leaks in the area
of Summitl Drive, N. W. We immediately dispatched an engineering specialist and mobile leak survey
equipment to the area. I inspected the worksite myself and had the opportunity to speak with Mrs.
Murphy-Kelso upon her return home from the City Council meeting. She explained to me, in detail, her
concerns and also expressed here appreciation for our prompt response.
Our leak survey specialist inspe~ed the area of Silverwood Road, Stonewall Road, Glenn Ridge
Road and Summit Drive. He found gas leaking in ~ont ot'4441 and 4452 Stonewall Road. Because of
the small amount of gas present, both of these leaks were categorized as Grade 3 leaks which do not
require mediate repair. However, given the nature of the complaint, both of these leaks were repaired
on July 12, 1995. As of that time, we were unable to find any other gas leaks in the Summit Drive, N.
W. area.
Our recurs indicate that we first installed natural gas in this area in 1955. The original 4" bare
steel gas main is still in service. These gas facilities were last surveyed tbr gas leaks in June of 1994 when
two leaks were wported on Silverwood Road. One of these leaks was repaired in Oetober 1994 and this
repair apparently cleared up the second reported leak. In 1995, we have had three reported call-in leaks
inthe area, two on Stonewall Road and one on Glenn Ridge Road. They were each repaired within one
day of the leak report.
Mr. William F. Clark

To: StepMnie ~oon at #ZZ4-3145 883 of 883
Bill, I want to close by mentioning two items. First, we realize that our gas facilities in this area
are starting to show signs of aotive oorrosion. However, we had projected at least five to ten years before
replacement would be required. We will continue to monitor these facilities and accelerate the
replaoement schedule ifneoessary. Secondly, we are very proud of our safety record and our response
time to call-in leak reports. We average over lofty oall-in leaks per week and respond to all of them within
an average of 17 minutes. Even though many oftbe calls are the result of strange odors and not natural
gas, we always encourage our customers to report any suspected gas leak and we will respond promptly.
1 trust this letter answers all of your questions. Please do not hesitate to call me if'you need
additional information.

The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the Roanoke City Council
Dear Mr. Mayor and Members of City Council:
I write to you on behalf of James L. ("Jake") Viar to request your favorable
consideration of Jake's desire for retirement under the "old plan" of the City of Roanoke
Employee's Retirement System.
In 1984, an irrevocable option was given for inclusion in a new retirement plan.
However, it would appear that inclusion in this new plan has worked to the detriment of
Jake Viar.
Rather than set forth my client's reasons in support of your favorable consideration,
I simply request that this matter be placed on the Council's agenda for consideration and
referral, should that be the next step, and report back to Council.
Your indulgence in this request is much appreciated, and I look forward to the
opportunity to address you on this matter.
Sincerely,
RIDER, THOMAS, CLEAVELAND FERRIS & EAKIN,

Subject: Acceptance of Fundin9 for Dru~ Prosecutor Positions
Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council:
A. Federal funding was made available to the State of
~ to be used for the development of several Multi-
Jurisdictional Special Dru~ Prosecutors statewide. The
positions were developed to coordinate prosecutorial efforts
amon~ independent jurisdictions, reduce fractional and
duplicate prosecutions, enhance the recovery of criminal
assets, utilize federal, state and local resources to assure
maximum prosecutorial effectiveness and to provide specialized
prosecutorial resources to the regional dru9 enforcement
effort. In addition, the Regional Dru~ Prosecutor has been
cross-designated as an Assistant U. S. Attorney. The cross-
designation will permit a state prosecutor to make use of the
Federal Grand Jury.
B. The Conm~onwealth's Attorneys of Craig County. FrankliD
County. Roanoke County. and the Cities of Roanoke and Salem
applied on October 9, 1987, to the Commonwealth's Attorneys'
Services Council, the State a~ency responsible for the
administration of the 9rant money to fund a Multi-
Jurisdictional Special Dru~ Prosecutor.
C. ~ accepted the Multi-Jurisdictional Special
Dru~ Prosecutor Grant in April, 1988, and a full-time Special
Dru~ Prosecutor was hired in July, 1988.

A. ~ The Commonwealth's Attorneys'
Services Council notified this office that legislation
approved by the General Assembly allowed funds for Drug
Prosecutor positions to be transferred from the Department of

Drug Prosecutor positions that serve Craig County, Franklin
County, Roanoke County, Roanoke City, and Salem City will be
funded through the offices of the Commonwealth's Attorneys in
the host localities effective July 1, 1994. These positions
will be funded separately from the positions in the
Commonwealth's Attorney's Office, with their own cost code,
budget, and monthly payroll and expense report.

Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council:
Subject: INFORMATIONAL REPORT
STORM DRAIN CAVE-IN, TOWN SQUARE BOULEVARD, N.W.
On June 29, the pavement around a 48" storm drain manhole located in the
two center lanes of Towne Square Boulevard was found to have caved in
approximately two feet deep and eight feet in diameter; the area was then barricaded
off. No repairs were made at that time due to the flooding damage in the Garden City
area that had to be repaired.
On July 7, following another heavy rainfall the previous night, the area settled
another two to six feet.
Investigation reveals that the storm drain line is seventeen feet deep and the
48" pipe joints on both sides of the manhole have separated and dropped down,
indicated that a cavern has developed. Due to the excessive depth of the excavation,
City forces are unable to complete the repair. It is likely this will continue to enlarge
with additional rainfalls.
The Engineering Department met with two contractors, asked for estimates
based on time and materials, and has recommended that E. C. Pace and Company be
retained to begin work on Monday, July 17, 1995, with an estimated cost of $30,000
and five (5) days to complete the work. This cost may increase dependent upon
subsurface conditions found after excavation.

Dear Members of Council:
Subject: Amendment No. 1 to the CDBG Mini-Grant Agreement with the Hurt Park
Neighborhood Association.
The Hurt Park Neiehborhood Association has been a member of the
Roanoke Neighborhood Partnership (RNP) since 1981.
The 1994-1995 RNP's Mini-Grant Program was approved by City Council
as part of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program by
Resolution Number 31977-050994 on May 9, 1994.
The City entered into an aereement with the Hurt Park Neighborhood
Association on July 29, 1994.
The scope of services was for the operation of a family education program,
a neighborhood watch program, the establishment of a B.A.D.D. (Blacks
Against Drank Driving) campaign and other promotional and recruitment
activities.
The time of performance for the Agreement was for the period of July 1,
1994 through June 30, 1995.
II. Current Situation:
The following changes to the Agreement have been requested by Hurt
Park Neighborhood Association:
Extend the date by which performance must be completed from
June 30, 1995 to August 31, 1995.
Include the purchase of office equipment and make other changes
specific to the family education program in the scope of service
section of the agreement.
3. Make the necessary changes in the itemized budget to reflect the
III. Issues:
changes listed above.
The Roanoke Neiehborhood Partnership concurs in their request.
An amendment is necessary, to the CDBG Hurt Park Association
Agreement to make these changes.
A Cost
B. Timing
C. Neiehborhood Empowerment
D. Compliance with applicable regulations
IV. Alternatives:
Authorize the City Manager to execute the attached CDBG Mini Grant
contract amendment with the Hurt Park Neighborhood Association.
1. Cost to the city will not change.
Timing is important since the agreement expired on June 30, 1995
and Hurt Park intends to complete these activities this summer.
Neighborhood empowerment would continue as these funds would
be used to match funds raised by the neighborhood to carry out the
programs designed by the Hurt Park Neighborhood Association.
Compliance with applicable regulations is assured. The
amendment will be approved as to form by the City Attorney.
Project monitoring is provided by the RNP and the Office of
Grants Compliance staff.

Grant agreement amendment with the Hurt Park Neighborhood
Association.
1. Cost to the city will not change.
2. Timing would not be an issue.
Members of Council

Neighborhood empowerment would not be enhanced. The Hurt
Park Neighborhood Association would be unable to complete their
1994-95 planned Mini Grant activities.
Compliance with applicable regulations would still be assured.
Project monitoring would continue to be provided by the RNP and
the Office of Grants Compliance staff.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council concur in Altemative A and authorize the
City Manager to execute the attached CDBG Mini Grant contract amendment
with the Hurt Park Neighborhood Association.

Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of Council:
Subject: Credit Card Payment for
Services
Emergency MediCal
Bac_~ckkround on the subject in chronological order is:
A. The City of Roanoke contracts with Quantum Medical
Business services. Inc. ~OMBS) to provide billing and
collection services relative to emergency medical user
fees.
Be
OMBS provides similar billin~ and collection services for
oth co ani s. QMBS indicates that ~evenue car be
enhanced by imDlementin~ credit card usage for payment of
accounts.
Payment by credit card is a ~rowinG trend in the medical
industry.
De
Credit cards are currently bein~ utilized by the Roanoke
Civic Center for purchase of tickets. Parks and
Recreation is also considering use of credit cards for
rental of facilities, recreational activities, etc.
II. Current situation is.
QMBS is a member of the International Billing Association
(IBA~. Through a bid process, IBA awarded a contract to
First USA, a national credit card clearinghouse for card
services at 1.88 percent for each credit card
transaction. All other bidders were above 2 percent.
As a member of this Association, QMBS can secure these
reduced credit card fees for their clients.
QMBS must aDDlv individually for card services for each
client. First USA requires a direct relationship for all
Merchant Services Agreements. A direct relationship
provides safeguards to protect the city as an individual
client. MasterCard/Visa, American Express and Discover
cards will allow the 1.88 percent transaction fee.
C. ~mer~encv Medical Service users currently have two
tgD_~ig_r~to pay balance after insurance -- check or cash.
Page 2
C~t¥'s average cost Der natient payment bv credit card
(based on average balance of $25.00 after insurance
payment would be $.46. Maximum cost to city would be
$5.45 based on payment of $290 paid by,credit card by
uninsured person. If a total of $25,000 is collected
through credit card payment, the city's cost would be
$450.
Ee
The city's Office of Emeraencv Medical Services will DaY
credit card fees to OMBS at time of monthly settlement oz
accounts per terms of current contract.
Section 58.1-3013 of the Code of Virainia, (1950), as
amended, provides that the aovernin~ body of a City may
authorize the treasurer to accept payment of fees by use
of a credit card.
III. Issues in order of importance are:
A. Need
B. Patient Use
C. Cost/Payment
D. Timin~
IV. Alternatives in order of feasibility are:
C't Cou '1 approve use of credit cards to collect
emergency medical services user fees.
Need - Electronic payment of accounts is becoming
more widespread. Implementation of credit card use
will enhance revenue collections and provide a user
friendly system for making payments.
t~ - Credit cards will not be accepted at
time of services rendered. Billing statement will
indicate that VISA, MasterCard, American Express,
and Discover cards are now accepted for payment.
Patient will provide credit card number and
expiration date to billing clerk via telephone.
Cost/Payment - The cost to use a credit card is
1.88 percent of payment which would be paid to QMBS
at month end settlement of account per contract.
Timin~ - Implementation of credit card use at
earliest possible date will enhance revenue for
fiscal year 1995/96.
Page 3
Ve
B. cit Council not approve use of credit cards to collect
emergency medical services user fees.
1. Need - city would not collect payment for balance
of account from service users with no other means
to pay. Customer service would not be enhanced.
2. ~ would not be an issue.
3. CstP_Q~_~_~9~would not be an issue.
4. ~ - Projected revenue for fiscal year 1995/96

Unaudited Year End Financials - Fiscal Year 1995
June marks the end of another fiscal year for the City of Roanoke. The year
1994-95 was a positive year in a financial sense for the City. Most importantly, however,
is the fact that Roanoke maintained its reputation for providing a high level of municipal
services to its citizens within a balanced conservative budget. In addition, we have seen
major capital projects representing investments made on behalf of future generations of
Roanokers, either completed or started this year. The completed projects include the
opening of the Hotel Roanoke Conference Center and the Carvins Cove water
improvements. Major projects in process include the Sewage Treatment Plant expansion
and the jail addition. We have begun the planning for the upcoming sale of general
obligation bonds in 1996, as previously approved by City citizens.
The City's revenue base reflected a moderately strong local economy in 1994-95.
Sales tax revenue, a direct barometer of consumer spending, exceeded our revenue
projections by over 8%. Until the most recent cut in interest rates by the Federal Reserve,
interest rates maintained an upward trend during most of 1994-95. Our local economic
trends were considered in formulating our budget for the new fiscal year.
Honorable Mayor and Members
City Council
July 24, 1995
Municipalities such as ours will constantly face new challenges in the years to come
as we provide for unfunded mandates, additional service needs of citizens, waste disposal
issues, and other priorities as we seek creative ways to operate in an efficient and effective
manner. We will continue to strive for a conservative and sound financial position for the
City as we plan for the City's future.
These unaudited financial statements are provided to you for planning purposes. The
amounts reported herein may change slightly during the course of our external audit.
Now to focus the discussion on the City's General Fund operations for fiscal year
1995. Our revenue estimate from all sources was $137,189,315, while actual collections
totaled $141,255,592. Collections exceeded the estimate by 2.96%.
Listed below is a recent history of our General Fund revenue estimates compared to
actual revenues. Operations of the School Board were accounted for as a separate fund
starting in fiscal year 1994 and will be discussed later. (Revenue for 1993 for the General
Fund and School Fund has been restated to be comparable.)

Honorable Mayor and Members
City Council
July 24, 1995
Some of the most anxiously awaited information at year end is the amount of
designated funding for the Capital Maintenance and Equipment Replacement Program
(CMERP). Council adopted Ordinance number 26292 on December 6, 1982 establishing
a reserve of the General Fund year end balance for CMERP. Computed per the
requirements of Ordinance 26292, CMERP for fiscal year 1995 for Schools is $1,374,295
and for the City is $4,327,037 or 3.04% of General Fund appropriations. The following
allocation has been calculated based on the Revenue Allocation Model used for the adopted
budget (See page 14 for details).
General Fund Designated FY 1995 CMERP
City Operations $ 4.327f037
School Operations $ 1,374.295
As mentioned earlier, the School Board operations were accounted for in a separate
fund. The amount of CMERP designated in the School Fund totals $1,019,741. Therefore,
the total CMERP available to the Schools in both the General Fund and School Fund is
$2,394,036 ($1,374,295 and $1,019,741 ).
General Fund Statement of Revenues
A summary of unaudited revenues by category and the variances between actual
collections and the budgetary estimates may be found on page 30. The following narrative
discusses significant revenue trends for the year.
3
Honorable Mayor and Members
City Council
July 24, 1995
General Pronertv Taxes
This category includes taxes on Real Estate, Personal Property, and Public Service
Corporations as well as Penalties and Interest. Estimated revenues for this category were
$56,201,000 while actual collections were $58,168,337, a positive variance of almost
$2.0 million or 3.50%. Personal Property taxes exceeded budget by over $2.0 million and
were in excess of the FY94 total by $1,712,000. Real Estate taxes increased
approximately $310,000 over the prior year as well, but were slightly under budget. The
Public Service Corporation tax also rose, up more than $300,000 from the budgeted
estimate. Penalties and Interest dropped some in FY95 as expected with an improved
economy and also due to effective collection efforts.
Other Local Tsxes
This category includes State Sales Tax, Utility Taxes, Cigarette Tax, Business and
Occupational Licenses, Transient Room Tax, Franchise Taxes, Prepared Food and Beverage
Taxes and other miscellaneous local taxes. This category of taxes serves as one of the
best indicators Of the strength of the local economy. The total estimate for this category
was $43,697,750, but actual collections were $45,519,403. Collections exceeded the
budget by 4.17%.
Sales Tax exceeded the estimate by 8.50% or $1,139,000. It also exceeded the
FY94 total by approximately $878,000. The improvement in this area is particularly
4
Honorable Mayor and Members
City Council
July 24, 1995
encouraging because Sales Tax is derived from discretionary spending and is a reflection
of consumer confidence in the economy.
Utility Taxes fell short of the both the revenue estimate and the prior year revenue
due to a milder winter in FY95. Conversely, cigarette taxes slightly exceeded both the
budgeted amount and the FY94 level.
Business and Occupational License Taxes exceeded their budget by $800,000.
Transient Room Tax and Recordation and Probate taxes were both in line with their
estimates and with revenue from the prior year, while the Admissions tax achieved a level
3.8% above that which was budgeted. Motor Vehicle Licenses exceeded the estimate by
nearly $104,000 or 6.72%. Bank Stock taxes declined since last year and were well under
budget due to changes in the reporting standards used by banks.
Another local tax that exceeded its estimate was the Prepared Food and Beverage
tax, up $417,000 or 8.65% from the budgeted amount. This tax is approximately
$280,000 higher than that of FY94 and is somewhat due to new restaurant business
within the City, but more importantly is a positive economic indicator.
Permits. Fees and Licenses
This revenue category includes dog licenses, building related fees, various inspection
fees, street opening permits, and bingo audit fees. Actual revenue was $703,253, slightly
5
Honorable Mayor and Members
City Council
July 24, 1995
under the budgeted $724,500. The decrease is a result of lower electrical, plumbing, and
elevator inspection fees.
Fines and Forfeitures
This category consists of parking tickets and fines collected by various courts.
Revenues in this category exceeded the budgeted level by 22.68% and were well in excess
of the prior year. This growth is due to $61,000 of Court Judgment Collection fees
collected by the new Cost Collections Unit as well as increased General District Court fines,
up 36.59% since FY94.
Revenue from Use of Money and Property
This revenue category consists of interest earnings and various property rentals.
Revenue outperformed the estimate by $113,245 or 11.03%. Most of this positive
variance is due to interest earned in excess of the budgeted amount. This occurred as the
City was able to obtain higher interest rates in FY95 by expanding its investments to
include Treasury Notes and by maximizing its investment of idle cash. Property rentals
were slightly lower than the FY94 level but approximated budget.
Grants-In-Aid Commonwealth
This category is comprised of non-categorical aid (State recordation tax, ABC, wine,
rolling stock and rental car tax), shared expenses for Constitutional Officers, Welfare (social
6
Honorable Mayor and Members
City Council
July 24, 1995
services, foster care, day care, welfare payments, employment services, and the
Comprehensive Services Act Programs), and other categorical aid (street maintenance, City
Jail Block Grant, Juvenile Facilities Block Grant, Law Enforcement and Library Grant). This
category achieved revenues just over the budgeted level and 4.75% over that of FY94.
The increase in the current year is due to revenue gains in rental car tax, State recordation
tax, Jail shared expenses and block grant funding, and Street Maintenance categorical aid.
Grants-In-Aid Federal Government
This category consists of funding from the Federal Emergency Management
Association (FEMA). Revenue in this category was 96.41% of its budget and $180,000
over that of FY94 due to the ice storm of 1994 reimbursements received in the current
year.
Charoes for Current Services
This category includes court fees, refuse collection, weed cutting, emergency
medical service,~police fees, fire safety fees, and central services charges. Collections
totalled $2,589,873, $208,000 over that of FY94. The increased revenue in this category
is due to increased Circuit Court fees and higher revenues for services such as EMS, weed
cutting, demolitions, and police fees. These revenues are now on the accrual basis of
accounting due to the implementation of the City-wide accounts receivable billing system.
7
Honorable Mayor and Members
City Council
July 24, 1995
Miscellaneous Revenue
Revenues included in this category are payment in lieu of taxes from Roanoke
Redevelopment and Housing Authority, sale of surplus property and other small, fluctuating
revenues. Revenue was very close to the budgeted level and about $60,000 over the
FY94 amount. The increase in the current year is primarily due to the sale of more surplus
property.
Internal Services
This category represents reimbursements from Enterprise, Internal Service, and
Agency Funds for services provided by General Fund departments. Services provided
include fire safety for the Airport, billings and collections services for the Water and
Sewage Treatment Funds, engineering services, and various other public works services.
The positive variance of 6.35% or $109,181 is due to increased work performed by Street
Maintenance and Building Maintenance.
Exoenditures
Total expenditures and encumbrances for FY 1995 were $140,324,455 which was
$2,080,055 or 1.46% less than City Council had authorized (See page 30). The authorized
expenditure budget includes several appropriations of CMERP funds during the year.
General Fund expenditures and encumbrances are up 5.31% overall compared to last
8
Honorable Mayor and Members
City Council
July 24, 1995
fiscal year. The majority of this increase is due to personnel costs, but there are some
variances worthy of comment.
The General Government, Judicial Administration and Public Safety categories
increased 5.19%, 7.06% and 2.34% respectively, all primarily due to increased 3ersonnel
costs.
Public Works expenditures are up from the prior year by 6.45%. These ~ncreased
expenditures are due to increased landfill charges, increased personnel costs, and other
equipment purchases.
The Health and Welfare category is up 1.77%, due to increased personnel costs.
The Parks, Recreation and Cultural expenditures reflect an increase of 5.41%
compared to FY94. Most of the increase, other than salaries, was for the increased
contribution of $276,500 for the Hotel Roanoke Conference Center Commission.
Community Development expenditures are up 12.65% for FY95 due to a
reorganization and transfer of employees from other departments into the Planning
Department.
Transfers to the Debt 6ervice Fund decreased 2.45%, reflecting the change in the
payments for long term General Obligation debt.
Transfers to the School Fund increased 6.47%, reflecting increased funding to the
Schools.
9
Honorable Mayor and Members
City Council
July 24, 1995
Nondepartmental expenditures are up 41.37%, primarily due to an increased amount
of funding transferred to the Capital Projects Fund in 1995.
School Fund
As mentioned earlier, School Board operations were accounted for in a separate fund
starting in 1994. (Revenue for 1993 has been restated for comparative purposes.) The
revenues included in this discussion do not include the multi-year Grant Funds, but only
those revenues included in the adopted annual budget. School Fund revenues totalled
$75,839,281, exceeding the estimate of $75,243,077 by $596,204 or .79%.
Following is a recent history of School Fund revenue estimates compared to actual
revenue.

The School Board will receive a portion of the General Fund CMERP, per the
requirements established in Ordinance No. 26292, and also retain the CMERP generated
in the School Fund. This is comparable to the method of allocating CMERP between the
City and School Administration in prior years.

This category includes State Sales Tax, basic State Aid, Special Education, Summer
Schools, Vocational Education, At-Risk Children, fringe benefit reimbursement, Disparity
Incentive and several smaller revenue sources. Revenues in this category totalled
$34,757,076, coming in over the estimate by $578,921 or 1.69%. State Sales Tax
collected totalled $7,569,138, which exceeded the estimate by $88,632 or 1.18%.
11
Honorable Mayor and Members
City Council July 24, 1995
Special Education revenue exceeded the revenue estimate by $523,433. Other revenues
collected were relatively close to the estimates.
Grants-In-Aid Federal Government
The basic revenue source in this category is School Food Aid. Total revenue
collected in this category was $2,293,682, which was under the estimate by 2.07%.
Choreas for Services
Major sources of revenue in this category are tuition, cafeteria sales, and
reimbursement for transportation for special trips. Revenues for the category totalled
$2,410,818, or 0.13% under the estimate.
Exoenditures
Expenditures and encumbrances in the School Fund (excluding special purpose
grants) totalled $74,868,876, leaving an unobligated balance of $392,621. It is important
to note that the authorized expenditure budget includes several appropriations from CMERP
during the fiscal-year. This provides an additional source of funding such that expenditures
and encumbrances during the year actually exceed the amount of revenue received.
A detailed analysis of the Enterprise Funds will be included with the annual financial
report.
12
Honorable Mayor and Members
City Council
July 24, 1995
We would like to reiterate that the General and School Fund figures discussed above
are unaudited and subject to change during the audit. We would also like to thank City
Council, the administration, and especially the dedicated staff of the Department of Finance
for their support throughout fiscal year 1995. We would be pleased to answer any
questions that Council may have.

Re: Disabled Parking
Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of Council:
The 1995 Session of the General Assembly has enacted legislation which has applicability to
persons who use vehicles with disabled parking licenses or placards. The legislation provides that it
shall be unlawful for a person with this type of license plate or placard to park in a parking space
reserved for persons with disabilities unless the driver is limited or impaired in his ability to walk
except when the individual is transporting a person with such a disability in the vehicle. The statute
also authorizes local governing bodies to assess and retain a penalty for violation of this prohibition.
This legislation should serve to prevent non-disabled persons bom abusing parking privileges
reserved for those who are in need of the reserved spaces. Accordingly, I have drafted an ordinance
which will incorporate this prohibition into the City Code. The penalty for violating this provision
is $50.00. I recommend that City Council exercise the new power granted to it by the 1995 Session
through adoption of the attached ordinance which is intended to prevent abuse of disabled parking
spaces.
I have advised the chairperson of the Mayors Committee for the Disabled about this proposed
code amendment. Neither she nor any member of her committee has expressed to me any objection
to the proposed change.
I will be pleased to answer any questions which members of Council may have about this
matter.
With kindest personal regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
Wilbum C. Dibling, Ir.

Roanoke City Planning Commission
July 10, 1995
The Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor and
Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Request from Trustees of First Baptist Church, represented by T. L. Plunkett,
Jr., Attorney, that a portion of an alleyway situate between Day Avenue,
S.W., and the presently vacated Marshall Avenue, S.W., extending in a
westerly direction from Franklin Road, S.W., to a point at the northwesterly
corner of Lot 27, Section 6, Map of Lewis Addition, be permanently
vacated, discontinued and closed.
I. Background:
Section of public alley requested for closure is a part of a larger alley that extends
between Franklin Road and 4th Street, S.W. (see attached Map A).
Alley is develm)ed and has a surface of brick that extends from Franklin Road to the
rear of Lot 24. Base of the alley is surface treated (tar and gravel) from that point
westward to 4th Street, S.W.
Owners of certain abutting properties between Lots 16 and 25 use the alley proper
as a secondary means of access to the rear of their properties.
Annlicant owns all of the properties abutting the section of alley requested for
closure (lots 12 through 15 and lots 26 through 29). Applicant also owns lot 23 on
the south side of Day Avenue and all of the lands abutting the north side of the alley
proper.
Alley and all pronerties abutting thereto are located in a C-1 Office District. Alley
also serves as the northerly boundary of the H-2 Neighborhood Preservation District
(Old Southwest neighborhood).
Room 162 Municipal Building 215 Church Avenue, S.W. Roanoke, Virginia 24011 (703) 981-2344
Members of Council
Page 2
Closure of this alley section is a phase of a master plan for future expansion of First
Baptist Church and its parking facilities and grounds. City Council approved the
church's master plan some years ago.
Expansion plan requires the removal or demolition of two residential structures at
325 and 327 Day Avenue, SW., and the closure of the subject section of public alley.
These structures are located in the H-2, Neighborhood Preservation District (see
attached Map B as approved by Architectural Review Board).
Applicant delayed plans to demolish these structures for a period of 90 days to
provide the Old Southwest neighborhood with ample time to move and relocate the
structures on other lots within the H-2 district.
Applicant obtained approval from the City's Architectural Review Board for a
Certificate of Appropriateness to remove or demolish the above-cited structures after
May 9, 1994. Demolition of the structures commenced on May 29, 1995.
Neighborhood organization (Old Southwest) and all abutting property owners were
notified of the proposed closure. As of the writing of this report, no comments have
been received.
II. ~tion:
Application to close and vacate the described section of public alley was received by
the Secretary to the Planning Commission on May 17, 1995.
Planning Commission reviewed the application at its regular meeting on June 7,
1995.
Invitation for public comment on the application was duly extended to those in
attendance. No opposition to the requested closure was expressed at the hearing.
Apl~licant proposes to use the land within the vacated alley right-of-way for
additional parking space and general landscaping.
Applicant has installed a vehicular entranceway from Day Avenue, S.W., across Lot
26 that intersects the section of alley requested for closure. Applicant proposes to
grant an easement for public passage over this entranceway to avoid the creation of
a dead-end alley (see attached Map A).
IH. Issues:
A. Nei hborhood im act.
Members of Council
Page 3
C. Utilities within the oublic right-of-way.
D. Creation of a dead-end alley.
E. Land use.
F. Relationshio to the comprehensive plan.
IV. Alternatives:
~ the applicant's request to close and vacate the described section
of public alley, subject to certain conditions as outlined in Part V. of this report.
1. ~borhood__L~act:
Closure of the described section of alley will not adversely affect
other abutting property owners or the adjacent neighborhood if an
alternative public right-of-way to Day Avenue is provided by the
applicant.
Construction of additional parking area will be subject to site plan
approval by the City. Appropriate and sufficient landscaping and
landscaping buffers will be required consistent with the requirements
of Section 36.1-585(b)(2) of the City's zoning ordinance.
Architectural Review Board worked with the applicant to formulate
a landscaping plan that was sensitive to the concerns of the Old
Southwest neighborhood and consistent with the intent of the H-2,
Neighborhood Preservation District guidelines.
2. Traffic impact:
Closure and elimination of the existing alley entrance into Franklin
Road will improve overall traffic conditions along this major
thoroughfare.
Applicant should be required to close off the entranceway for the
subject section of alley at Franklin Road. Applicant should be
required to install standard City curbing along Franklin Road to
permanently seal off this alley entrance.
3. Utilities within the public right-of-way:
Members of Council
Page 4
a. City has utilities within the alley right-of-way.
b. Private utility companies have facilities within the alley right-of-way.
Appropriate easements for these facilities will be retained as a part of
a duly recorded plat of subdivision.
Creation of a dead-end alley:
a. Closure of the described section of alley will create a dead-end alley.
Applicant proposes to grant an easement for public passage from the
terminus of the public alley over the private entranceway on Lot 26
to the public street at Day Avenue, S.W.
In order to clearly establish the legal rights of the public and to avoid
any future issues of responsibility or liability between the City and
the church, the applicant should dedicate this area to the City in fee
simt~le title for public use as an alternative alley.
If and when the City elects to close and vacate the remaining section
of the alley proper, this alternative alleyway will revert in fee simple
title to the applicant.
Land use:
Proposed use of the land within the described section of alley is
consistent with the intent of the regulations for the district in which
the land is located.
Closure and vacation of the alley section will create a narrow
substandard lot. Subdivision plat should be required to ensure that
the land within the vacated alley is combined with the church's
abutting property.
Relationship to the comprehensive plan:
Applicant's expansion plans have been determined by the
Architectural Review Board to be consistent with the Franklin Road
Master Plan.
Architectural Review Board has approved a Certificate of
Appropriateness for the removal or demolition of the residential
structures on lots abutting the subject section of alley. Approval
Members of Council
Page 5
included landscaping of the lots and the installation of 17 parking
spaces as shown on the submitted plans.
c. Request is consistent with the intent of the comprehensive plan that
available land should be used in the most appropriate manner.
B. City Council deny the applicant's request to close and vacate the described section
of alley.
1. Neiehborhood impact will not be an issue.
2. Traffic imt~act. Alley entrance will continue to access Franklin Road.
3. Utilities within the right-of-way will not be an issue.
4. Creation of a dead-end alley will not be an issue.
5. Land use. First Baptist Church will be unable to implement this part of its
expansion plan.
6. Relationship to the comprehensive plan'
a. Applicant has acquired abutting lands necessary to implement this
part of the proposed expansion.
b. Applicant has complied with the design requirements of the H-2,
Neighborhood Preservation District and has obtained a Certificate of
Appropriateness from the City Architectural Review Board.
c. Denial would be inconsistent with the intent of the comprehensive
plan that available land should be used in the most appropriate
manner.
Recommendation:
Planning Commission, by a vote of 6-0 (Mrs. Coles absent) recommends that City Council
approve Alternative & thereby approving the applicant's request to close and vacate the
described section of public alley, subject to the following conditions:
A. The applicant shall submit to the City, receive approval thereof, and record with the
Clerk of Circuit Court, a subdivision plat, with said plat providing thereon for the
following:
Members of Council
Page 6
The combination of the land within the vacated alley right-of-way with the

passage over the same for surface and subsurface installation, repair,
relocation and removal of any or all utilities that may be located within the
vacated alley.

APPLICATION FOR VACATING,
DISCONTINUING AND CLOSING
OF THE EASTERLY PORTION OF

MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL:
The Trustees of the First Baptist Church, 515 3rd Street,

of the public alley in the city of Roanoke, Virginia, situate
between Day Avenue, S.W., and the former and vacated Marshall
Avenue, S.W., extending westerly from Franklin Road to a point
at the northwesterly corner of Lot 27, Section 6, according to
the Map of the Lewis Addition pursuant to Virginia Code Section
15.1-364 and Section 30-4 of the Code of the City of Roanoke,
Virginia (1979) as amended. This alley is more particularly
described on the plat attached and as follows:
That portion of the alley situate between Day
Avenue and the former Marshall Avenue, S.W., now
vacated, extending from Franklin Road in a
westerly direction to the northwesterly corner of
Lot 27, Section 6, according to the Map of the
Lewis Addition. That portion of the alley sought
to be vacated lies adjacent to the northerly line
of Lots 27, 28 and 29 which bear Tax Map No.
1012829, 1012930 and 1012931.
The Trustees of the First Baptist Church state that the
grounds for this application are as follows:
-1-
1) The petitioner owns all of the property on both sides
of that portion of the alley sought to be vacated and all of the
property along the northerly side of said alley from Franklin
Road to Fourth Street.
2) The petitioner has received a Certificate of
Appropriateness (No. 95-004, dated February 9, 1995) from the
Roanoke city Architectural Review Board "approving the
demolition and removal, after May 9, 1995, or the removal by
others prior to that date, of the two structures located at 325

ATTEST:
City Clerk.
Roanoke City Planning Commission
July 10, 1995
Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor
and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of City Council:
Subject:
Request from Soccer Stop, Inc., represented by George I. Vogel, II that
property located at 2219 Franklin Road, S. W., designated as Official Tax
Number 1150108 and a portion of Number 1150111, be rezoned from LM,
Light Manufacturing District, to C-2, General Commercial District, such
rezoning to be subject to certain conditions proffered by the petitioner.
I. Backeround:
Property is currently zoned Light Manufacturing, however, the building has been
used for retail sales purposes within the past two years as a nonconforming use Prior
to 1987 zoning ordinance permitted commercial uses in light manufacturing zones.
Other commercial uses also exist in this LM area along Franklin Road. These include
a gas-convenience store, a hair salon, a television and appliance store, and car repair.
Much of the area on this side of Franklin Road is located within the floodway and
100-year floodolain of Ore Branch.
II. Current Situation:
Purpose of the rezoning request is to place the subject prooerties into a zoning
classification that will permit the continued use of the building as a retail store If
rezoning is approved for the property, the contract purchaser, Soccer Stop, Inc.,
intends to paint the building and move its operation on Franklin Road to this location.
B. Petition tO rezone with no conditions was filed on 5/17/95.
Plannine Commission public hearing held on 6/7/95. The Commission discussed
concerns related to the proposal meeting existing C-2 zoning requirements, the non-
conforming billboard on the property, proposed site improvements, and future

Issues:
A.
development in the floodplain. The decision was made to table the request until the
Commission's meeting on 7/5/95 to allow the petitioner time to investigate concerns
and consider amending the rezoning petition to address outstanding issues.
Amended petition to rezone filed on 6/30/75. Proffered conditions are as follows:
The current non-conforming billboard located on the property to be rezoned
will be removed within two years.
The Petitioner agrees to install landscaping in substantial conformance with
the attached landscaping plan dated June 6, 1995.
Planning, Commission public hearing was held on 7/5/95~ Petitioner's attorney
advised that an amended petition had been filed which addressed most of the
concerns regarding the rezoning. He indicated that there had been discussion of what
could be done with the rooftop air conditioning units and that it was determined that
painting was the best option at this time. Mr. Price Hurst, 5216 Flintlock Road, S.W.,
an adjacent property owner, addressed the Commission and advised his concern for
continuing access across the subject property to a rear parking area. It was
determined, however, that his concern was beyond the jurisdiction of the rezoning
request and that the matter needed to be addressed between him and the current
property owner selling the parcel.
Zoning of the subject property is LM. Light Manufacturing The surrounding zoning
to the north and south on the same side of Franklin Road is also LM, Light
Manufacturing. Zoning across Franklin Road is C-2. General Commercial, and RM~
2, Residential Multi-family, Medium Density.
The existin~ development on the property will meet current C-2 zoning requirements
in terms of front yard setback, 10t size, frontage and lot coverage. It will not meet
the 25-foot rear yard setback requirement or the ten percent minimum open space
requirement. Under current regulations, the parking lot would also be required to
have one, 2 - 2-1/2 inch caliper tree for each fifty feet of street frontage and planting
areas that represent a minimum of five percent of the total area used for parking.
Land use of the subject property is a commercial building Adjacent properties are
being used for light manufacturing and for retail sales. Retail uses within the LM
zone are non-conforming. Proposed new use of building is same as previous use
(retail sales).
Members of City Council
July 10, 1995
Page 3
Requested C-2 zoning would allow a diversity of uses, including general retail
establishments, automobile repair, gas stations, restaurants, highway convenience
stores, offices and, by special exception permit, fast food restaurant, and auto sales.
Sub_iect property is located within the 100-year floodplain. The rear comer of the
building and a portion of the rear of the property are located in the floodway. See
revised concept plan provided by applicant. Floodproofing of building to meet
current building codes would only be required if there is a change in the type of
building use (e.g. manufacturing to commercial), if the building is enlarged, if new
mechanical or electrical equipment is installed, or if the building is damaged by more
than fifty percent of its market value. It should be noted that variances from
floodproofing requirements may be applied for from the Board of Zoning Appeals in
accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 36.1-369 of the City Zoning
ordinance. The City's flood insurance rating can be affected by floodplain variances,
depending on the number issued by the Board of Zoning Appeals.
Access to the property is directly from Franklin Road which has a center mm lane.
At present, the entrance is also used by Holdren's for service access to its loading
dock located behind the property.
One non-conforming billboard is also located on the property. Current city
regulations prohibit outdoor advertising signs within 250 feet of a residential district
and within 250 feet of the 1-581/Roy Webber Expressway. Regulations controlling
billboards were enacted in 1982. At present, no advertising is on the billboard,
however, it has been used within the past two years and can continue.
A subdivision plat is to be prepared for the subject property which incorporates
Official Tax Number 1150108 and a portion of 1150111.
Neighbors in South Roanoke represent the neighborhood adjacent to Franklin Road
The South Roanoke Neighborhood Plan does not specifically address development on
Franklin Road, however, it does identify_ neighborhood entrances on Franklin Road
which should be improved and landscaped.
The Comprehensive Plan recommends:
1. Development of new or existin~ commercial and industrial areas in the city
should be carefully planned and designed to promote quality development and
good land use.
2. Neighborhood character and environmental quality should be protected
Members of City Council
July 10, 1995
Page 4
Possible changes in land use in or near residential areas should be carefully
evaluated and designed to conserve and enhance neighborhood quality.
Because of the limited amount of existing industrially zoned land in Roanoke,
the comprehensive plan and related ordinances should protect industrial areas
bv restricting uses to only industrial categories.
Implement appropriate flood control measures and minimize development in
the flood~)lain.
IV. Alternatives:
A. City Council approve the rczoning request.
Zoning would be changed to C-2, General Commercial District. As presently
requested for rezoning, the existing develooment would not meet current zoning,
reauirements for development.
Land use would continue to be retail sales. Although the property is zoned for
light manufacturing, is not considered a viable industrial tract because of its size
and its location in the floodplain. Other similar commercial uses adjacent to the
subject property on Franklin Road are grandfathered.
3. Property is located in the floodway and the 100-year floodplain. At present, there
are no plans to improve flood protection for the property.
4. Access to the property from Franklin Road is acceptable.
5. Non-conforming billboard on the property could continue to be used unless
otherwise addressed.
6. Franklin Road and neighborhood entrances could be enhanced by building
improvements and landscaping.
Comvrehensive Plan could be followed. Consideration should be given to
reducing the non-conformities on the property in order to provide for better land
use, consistency with C-2 zoning regulations, and improved floodplain
management.
B. City Council deny the rezoning request.
1. Zoning will remain light manufacturing.
Members of City Council
July 10, 1995
Page 5
2. Land use could continue as a commercial building for retail sales unless the use is
discontinued for more than two years.
3. Floodplain still an issue. Development for light manufacturing uses can be less
intensive in terms of the density and degree of development.
4. Access from Franklin Road will remain the same.
5. Billboard can continue as a non-conforming use unless it is not used for two
years.
6. Neighborhood not an issue.
7. Comprehensive Plan could be followed.
Recommendation:
By a vote of 6-0 (Mr. Butler absent), the Planning Commission recommended approval of
the rezoning request subject to the proferred conditions. The requested rezoning is
reasonable given the existing land uses in the area. The proferred conditions sufficiently
address concerns related to the rezoning of the property and help bring the property into
conformance with the proposed zoning of the property.

operation of a retail store on prope~y in a general area being
presently used for retail commercial facilities.
Attached as Exhibit B are the n~es, addresses, and tm
numbers of the o~ers of all lots or prope~y immediately

The Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor
and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Mayor and Members of City Council:
Subject:
Recommendation to Amend Chapter 20 of the City Code (1979), providing
for an ordinance to prohibit the Open Storaae of Inoperative Motor Vehicles
(Junk cars~ in residential or commercial or agricultural districts of the City.
I. Background:
Aesthetic appearance of ufivate land and private properties has a decisive and long-
term effect on the City's potential for future growth and prosperity.
Unsiahtly conditions and structures frequently existing in and upon private
properties, such as "Junk cars" (inoperative motor vehicles) persistently undermine
the integrity of various City landscapes and the general quality of life in many areas
of the City.
Properties affected by such conditions have a debasing and demeaning effect on
surrounding lands and property values.
Junk cars (inoperative motor vehicles) located on private properties resulted in 770
public complaints being filed with the City in 1992. Junk cars on private property
continued to represent at least 60% of the total sum of all zoning complaints received
by the City in 1993.
Section 21-40.1 of the City Code (1979), as amended, (copy attached) as originally
adopted by the City Council in 1976, was intended to prohibit and thereby effectively
control the open storage of junk cars (inoperative motor vehicles) on residential,
commercial or agriculturally zoned properties in the City. Legal enforcement of
Section 21-40.1 required the City to summon, prosecute and convict violators thereof
through the legal process of the courts.
Section 21-40.1 was subsequently repealed, revised and re-enacted in 1993, as
Division 13, Inoperative Motor Vehicles, under Article VII of Chapter 36.1, Zoning
(Section 36.1-563-565). Division 13 as re-enacted, however, still requires the City
Members of Council
Page 2
II.
to prosecute and convict each individual Violation through the legal process of the
court system.
Current Situation:
Effective methods are needed to efficiently eliminate or reduce to minimal levels,
unsightly and illegal conditions such as junk cars (inoperative motor vehicles) openly
stored on private properties, in violation of the City Code (1979).
Citizens and neighborhood ~,rout)s, during the first half of 1994, filed 569 zoning-
related complaints with the City. Sixty-six percent (66%) of these complaints were
related to the open storage of inooerative motor vehicles (iunk carsl on private
proper~y. This trend continues to increase each year. Inoperative motor vehicle
complaints received by the City between January 1, 1995, and May 25, 1995, totaled
404, and were received as follows:
Complaints from citizens and neighborhood groups filed directly with the
Zoning Administrator - 272
Complaints filed by the City's COPE (Community Oriented Policing Effort)
unit- 132
Legal prosecution through the corot system, over the course of the past 10 years, has
proven to be a time-consuming process for both the City and the court system.
Prosecution through the court system appears to have had little, if any, effect on the
total and annual sum of junk car violations and complaints being received and
processed by the City.
Court dockets are consistently burdened with an overload of pending criminal and
civil cases. Current ordinance procedure (legal prosecution through court process)
is no longer reauired under the provisions of current state law. Current ordinance
procedures hinder effective enforcement in numerous ways, among which are the
following:
When a violator fails to remove a vehicle after notice by the City is given, a
summons is served upon the violator to appear in court. If the violator cannot
be found or requests a postponement, the matter is frequently delayed and
can be held over to successive future dates.
Court delays are often lengthy as court proceedings can only be scheduled on
a monthly basis.
Members of Council
Page 3
III.
Issues:
A.
Courts frequently allot the violator additional time to remove the offending
vehicle, beyond the time extensions (10 to 45 days) already granted by the
City.
In some cases where offenders are found guilty and fined, the violation
(vehicle) is not removed from the premises.
Persistent offenders are well aware of the City's enforcement limitations and
often circumvent the process by moving the offending vehicle to another
neighborhood during the court delays. The charges are accordingly dropped.
Staff eventually discovers the same vehicle at another location, and the
process starts over again.
Complaining citizens, property owners, and neighborhood groups perceive
these long delays as lack of City action and indifference and failure on the
City's part to respond to these complaints and violations.
Current ordinance procedures (court process) have resulted in an increasing backlog
of complaints, violations and cases involving open storage of inoperative motor
vehicles on private property. New complaints and violations are continuously being
added to this backlog.
Legal authority for local governments (cities. counties and towns) to enact
ordinances to provide for the removal (towing) and disposition of illegally stored
inoperative motor vehicles was nrovided by the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1986.
Section 15.1-11.1 of the Code of Virginia (1950). as amended, authorizes any city,
town or county that has adopted such an ordinance to remove (tow), store, and
dispose of(sell in whole or part, for use, for parts, or for scrap metal processing) any
such inoperative motor vehicle, whenever the owner thereof fails to place the same
within an enclosed building, or othenvise fails to shield or screen such vehicles from
view, or subsequently fails to reclaim such vehicle after reasonable notification has
been given.
City of Salem and Roanoke County governments have in recent years adopted
ordinances that provide for the towing and disposition of inoperative motor vehicles.
Legal authori~[v.

Members of Council

C. Costs/savings.
D. Code enforcement.
IV. Alternatives:
Approve the recommendation to amend Chapter 20 of the City Code (1979),
providing for the removal and disposition of inoperative motor vehicles by the City,
in accordance with the requirements prescribed in the ordinance attached to this
report.
Legal authority. Legal authority for the City to adopt and enforce the
provisions of this amendment is pr0vi0ed in Section 15.1-11.1 of the Code
of the Commonwealth of Virginia, (1950), as amended.
2. Land and property values:
Effective and timely removal of junk cars (inoperative motor
vehicles) will improve the overall aesthetic appearance of private
properties. Preservation and enhancement of existing property values
will be achieved.
Potential for new development and/or property improvements will be
encouraged in many areas of the City.
3. Costs/savings:
Recommended amendment will enable the City to contract with
licensed towing companies in the City to provide towing, storage and
disposal services. Vehicles removed (towed) from private property
will be stored on the premises of the towing company(ies).
Owners of such vehicles will be able to reclaim the same at the
premises of the respective towing company. Reasonable charges for
towing and storage services will be paid by the owners of such
vehicles to the towing firms upon reclamation. City will not incur
any cost or expense for such towing and storage services.
Vehicles unclaimed after due notification has been provided to the
owners may be disposed of (sold), as provided for by law, by the
towing firms to recoup their expenses for towing and storage
Members of Council

services. City will not incur any cost or expense for such disposal
services.
d. Current operating costs; i.e., City man hours expended in processing
violations through the court system process, will be significantly
reduced. City staff will be enabled to pursue other pending
violations. Overall Ci~;y costs will be reduced.
4. Code enforcement:
a. Timely removal of illegal inoperative motor vehicles will be an
effective means of obtaining code compliance.
b. Junk cars (inoperative motor vehicles) will be eliminated as a major
source of zoning complaints in the City.
c. Complaining residents and neighborhood groups will be satisfied that
the City is concerned and actively responding to valid complaints.
d. Effectiveness in controlling other types of violations will be
increased by the availability of stafftime, previously occupied by the
inoperable vehicle problem.
Deny the request to amend Chapter 20 of the City Code (1979), and retain the current
legal provision to prosecute violators through the court system.
1. Legal authority would not be an issue.
2. Land and property values:
a. Inoperative motor vehicles will continue to be a leading source of
public complaints in the City.
b. Aesthetic appearance of numerous private properties will continue to
have a negative impact on ~roperty values in the City.
3. Cost/savings:
a. Cost of towing and disposition expense will not be an issue.
b. City will continue to expend considerable amounts of time and
money to prosecute violators through the court system.
Members of Council
Page 6
c. City will not realize any savings.
4. Code enforcement:
City staff will continue to make every effort to enforce City
ordinances.
Current ordinance requirements will continue to increase the existing
backlog of inoperative motor vehicle ("junk car") violations.
Citizens and neighborhood groups will continue to perceive these
long delays as indifference and lack of response on the part of the
City.
V. Recommendation:
Approve Alternative A thereby authorizing the amendment of Chapter 20 of the City Code
(1979), as prescribed in the ordinance attached to this report.

Dear Mayor Bowers and Council:
I regret not being able to address you personally on the revision of the towing ordinance.
The Williamson Road Area Business Association strongly supports the ordinance revision
as recommended by City staff and we urge your approval.
You can send a clear and convincing signal to all citizens that you will not tolerate
eyesores that so negatively affect Roanoke's image.., and a signal that shows you care
about our quality of life.
Thank you for this opportunity to provide input -- and thank you for your continued
effective leadership.
Executive Director
