Silver Platter Award W~u~ners .a--ounced

The Silver Platter Awards spotlight food service fact!i~ies
which voluntarily institute Hazard Analysis Control Point (HACCP)
programs. The HACCP approach targets preventing foodborne illness
instead of recalling foods after problems have begun.
Until the use of HACCP, recalling bad food products was the
accepted practice. ~J~CCP is a process that involves self-
discipline and enables restauranteurs to identify hazards and take
their own corrective action. Together health officials and each
participa/%t designed a food protection program for their respective
minimum health code requirements.
~ACCP was created in the early 1970s by the Pillsbury Company
for NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration).
Preventing foodborne illness during space missions was the catalyst
for developing HACCP. With its creation came the philosophy and
practice of effectively executing food preparation and storage.
"Using this approach, spoilage and harmful organisms would not
thrive or be combined in foods and jeopardizs the consumer's
health," stated Rutledge.
Interest in the Silver Platter Awards Program has been high.
In the participating Fairfax, Henrico and Roanoke areas, a total of
70 establishments, which include restaurants, quick-food shops,
public schools and government cafeterias will receive 1995 Silver
Platter Awards. Twenty-£ive establishments will receive
certificates of participation.
The benefits of the Silver Platter Awards are many. Most
important is that the likelihood of food-borne illness is reduced.
The Silver Platter Awards program provides an avenue for meeting
the business goals of the food service industry while providing the

Dear Mr. Herbert:
I am attaching copy of remarks of Mayor David A. Bowers with regard to "March of a Million
Men" and the diversity issue, which items were before the Council of the City of Roanoke
at a regular meeting held on Monday, October 16, 1995.
You were requested to reinstate the Community Relations Task Force, and to provide
information with regard to composition of the Task Force and the method of appointment
of additional members.
Sincerely,
Mary F. Parker, CMC/AAE

MFP:sm
Enc.
Remarks of Mayor Bowers with regard to the Million Man March and
diversity issue at the regular meeting of the Council of the City of
Roanoke on Monday, October 16.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I wanted to discuss, with the pleasure of Council,
before we begin the formal meeting, in particular the Consent Agenda, two
items that are on our agenda today. I am specifically referring to the item
involving the Million Man March and the item regarding the diversity issue.
First of all, let me say that I do have correspondence from Bishop Light
indicating that the matter involving the diversity issue will be withdrawn from
Council's agenda. On both of these matters, I think the Council will probably
take action only to receive and file both correspondences. Having said that, I
thought it might be wise, and after discussions with the Members of Council,
that something perhaps ought to be said from this podium about what really are
broader concerns, not only for this community, but also for our Nation. Given
the news over the last week or two about certain racial divisions in our country,
which none of us want to see, which none of us shall seek to encourage, we
must be about the business, whether you are a community leader, a
government leader, the media, or a citizen, to encourage the dialogue among
many different citizens in our community and in our Nation, bringing together
and the coming together of our citizens. It doesn't really matter, I don't think,
whether Council votes one way or the other on some of these issues, whether
we endorse one thing or another. It's really not addressing the problem by just
our endorsement or our vote. I don't know if that's really addressing greater
social concerns that, I think, are in some ways causing all of us to question
what America is about these days. Let me say that I don't believe there's any
question that the City of Roanoke is resolved to respect all individuals of any
race, of any sex, of any creed, or of any color. I think it is safe to say also that
the City of Roanoke is resolved to standing against any form of discrimination.
We want to do the right thing, we want to do the positive thing; and as these
issues come forward, it's with that in mind that City Council, I think, in our
government, should seek to be facilitators in a community-wide dialogue to
continue this effort that is obviously constant democratic, and I use that as a
little "d", "democratic," effort in our democracy. It's the citizens effort to bring
our citizens together. I must tell you when I go to the public high schools these
days, I'm pleased to see in schools where I once went to a segregated school
in the City of Roanoke, I'm pleased to see 25 years later, young people of many
nationalities. In fact during the last year, the Members of City Council and I
took an informal listing and we came up with over 25 known nationalities that
now live in our City. It's not just white and black anymore, we are the whole
spectrum of nationalities and colors here in Roanoke. We have become, over
the last 25 years, not just a segregated society, but in some ways an integrated
and cosmopolitan society. We have a long way to go, but we've come a long
way. So to those who are from Lebanon, Vietnam, Greece or from Turkey,
those who are from China or Japan, or those who are of black origin in this
country or native Amedcan odgin, and those of us who are Irish or German, or
of other white nationalities, we all must seek to live among ourselves in peace,
harmony and understanding. I think that's the approach, ladies and gentlemen,
that is a sensitive approach to these issues, these social issues that are
gripping this nation more so than really our community at this time. It seems
to be more of a national interest, than here in Roanoke. But let's not forget that
we're part of a nation and that we need to do our part, too. I think, and I submit
to you, Members of Council, that fair-minded, reasonable, moderate citizens
can agree on the principles that I've suggested to you today. We have this
diversity issue that will be withdrawn from Council. I will merely ask that the
matter be received and filed. We also have the Million Man March, and I know
that perhaps I'll invite Members of Council to speak on either of these issues
or anything that I've said in just a moment. The Million Man March can be a
very positive influence in our country. We do not endorse any kind of anti-
Semitic, anti-Catholic, anti-white, or anti-woman positions endorsed by anyone,
in any march. But, we want to be a part of, and we want to contribute to, and
we want to support those things that are positive in our Nation and positive in
our community. As a facilitator, as we look at this issue, I think again, not with
that greater concern of any divisiveness in Roanoke, because as I see it, I don't
really see that much of it. But in the nation at-large, I do. I still think Roanoke
should do its part, and so I would like to ask Council to join me in requesting
that the City Manager reformulate the Community Relations Task Force.
That's an organization that has served adhoc from time to time to deal with
such issues here in our community, and perhaps it is appropriate that they
come forward again to discuss these issues, or any other issues dealing with
human relations in our community, and report back. We may not be able to
solve the nation's problems from this level, but we can certainly do what we can
to address our own concerns. Thank you for allowing me to say that, Members
of Council; and I'd be pleased to recognize any Member of Council for any
further comments.

Dear Members of Council:
Today is a day unprecedented in American history. America's African-American men are
marching on Washington today, in order to enlighten themselves as to their responsibilities
to their families, to their community, and to their country. We share with them in this
march. We believe that it is time that Africen-American men in this country accept the
responsibility in which they have made themselves a party to.
Although we cannot be with them, we gladly join with them and hope that this day does
help awaken America's African-American men. As we deliberate in our session today, we
think about all those who are not with us today, and have made the sacrifice of helping to
insure that America's African-American youth grow up to be responsible adults, helping to
lead us into the 21st century.
We were elected to serve all of Roanoke City, and we do so today, though we are thinking
about our brothers who are marching in Washington, and those who are at home today
helping to shock America's African-American communities into responsibility.
At this time, we ask that you join with us in a moment of silence, in support of this day and
its historical value. We thank you for your support in this matter, and for the opportunity
to share with you a few moments in this historical day.
Sincerely,

PETITION TO ROANOKE CITY COUNCIL
In response to Lamar Advertising's decision to prevent the
placement of "Diversity Enriches~ billboards by citizens seeking to
reduce prejudice and hatred in our midst, we ask our City Council
to:
1. Individually and collectively issue public statements
forcefully reaffirming that the City's diversity does
indeed enrich our civic life.
Consider the monopolistic control of Lamar
Advertising over political and civic billboard
campaigns in the area and it's ability to unduly and
negatively impact the civility of our city.
· SCIENCE & SOCIETY
Gay rights issues
bust out all over
At the Supreme Court and everywhere else
Wrhen it comes to court cases,
nothing quite generates the
fire and passion of civil rights
cases. In the term that begins next
Monday, the Supreme Court will con-
sider a case that has implications far be-
yond the particulars of Colorado's con-
stitutional amendment that bans legal
treat gays are breaking out all over the
place. It also sets the tone for a court
session in which other major cases on
voting rights and punitive damages will
also come up (story, Page 74).
In the Colorado case, the arguments
are stark. Gays say all they want is the
right to fight for civil rights on a level
loud. Demonstrators protest the Colorado amendment that bars civil rights protections for gays.
protections for gays and lesbians. A de-
cision by the largely conservative court
upholding the ban would give a green
light to countless other jurisdictions
where similar bans are likely to be con-
sidered. But a decision overturning'the
ban would "force this culture to affirm
and accept homosexuality," says oppo-
nent Kevin Tebedo, executive director
of Colorado for Family Values.
It is the most heralded case ever in-
volving gay rights to make it to the top
court, and oral arguments will take
]0. That showdown will
be staged against a backdrop where bat-
tles over how American society will
playing field. Colorado's amendment not
only would remove any protections that
would keep gays from being fired, evicted
or refused services. II also would require
amending the state's Constitulion again
before any new laws protecling gays
could be enacted. "There is no more fun-
damental right than the right of citizens
to parlicipate fully in the political proc-
ess," argues Suzanne Goldberg, an attor-
neyworking on the case at Lambda Lega!
Defense and Education Fund.
Groups ranging from the NAACP
Legal Defense and Educational Fund
to the Episcopal Church to the Arc
(formerly the Association for Retarded
Citizens) have filed briefs in opposition
to the amendment. "It affects the civil
rights of a distinct group in this case,
but it could be another group in the fu-
ture,'' warns Leigh-Ann Miyasato of the
Japanese American Citizens League.
But Colorado's supporters say the
ban was adopted fairly by 53 percent of
the state's voters in a referendum.
Overturning it would allow any losers in
the legislature to create "all sorts of le-
gal havoc," says California Attorney
General Dan Lungren. He worries
about defending Proposition 187, the
California voter initiative denying bene-
fits to illegal immigrants.
The court's decision, which will come
later in the term, will be especially
closely watched because of ali the fer-
ment over gay rights:
· Gays in the mllltar/. Two federal courts
have split on the govern-
ment's "don't ask, don't
tell" policy, which allows
gays to remain in the mil-
itary if they do not men-
tion or act upon their ho-
mosexuality. In March, a
federal judge in New
York struck down the
policy as a violation of
gays' free speech and
equal-protection rights;
in June, a federal judge
in Alexandria, Va., up-
held the policy as consti-
tutional. A likely show-
down in the high court
seems inevitable in the
next term or two.
· Gay marriage. A grow-
ing number of cities and
businesses recognize
"domestic partners" and
grant them some of the
benefits of marriage, but
gay marriage is not legal
anywhere in the United
States. A case filed by
three gay couples in Ha-
waii may change that. A
favorable ruling in 1993 by the Hawaii
Supreme Court has legal experts pre-
dieting that the state will legalize gay
marriage by 1997. The possibility already
has set offbattles in several state legisla-
tures, because states recognize mar-
riages performed in other states. Utah
passed a ban on gay marriage this year,
while a bill in South Dakota failed to
pass. Alaska has a bill pending.
l Gay families. Several states have been
struggling with custody disputes involv-
ing gays. For instance, the Virginia Su-
preme Court ruled last April that sexual
orientation can be a basis for denying
child custody or visitation. But a Wiscon-
· SCIENCE & SOCIETY
sin judge this summer granted visitation
righ s to the nonbiological parent of a
child from a same-sex couple who spt
up. With gays having their own children,
states are still split over legal recognition
of such families. California banned adop-
tion by gay couples in March. In July, a
lesbian couple in Illinois was granted
joint adoption rights to a child one of
them had conceived. Many more cases
are coming down the pipeline, as more
gays decide to raise children.
· Gays in the schools. Congress will hold
hearings this month on homosexuality in
the schools. The Rev. Lou Sheldon, who
demanded the hearings, is furious over
National Education Association resolu-
tions endorsing acceptance of diverse
sexual orientations and sex education
programs. In some places, voters have
taken the matter into their own hands.
For instance, a gay school-board member
in Des Moines, who had served many
years, came out recently and then lost his
bid for re-election this month.
· Antigay initiatives. The Lambda Legal
Defense and Education Fund is chal-
lenging antigay initiatives that were ap-
proved in Cincinnati and Alachua
County, Fin. In November, Maine will
vote on a measure that would strike
gays from a proposed list of groups pro-
tected by state and local civil rights
laws. And activists promise more meas-
ures will appear on state ballots in 1996.
Still, the number of gay-rights laws is
growing. In May, Rhode Island became
the ninth state to pass a gay-rights law.
At the Supreme Court, the outcome of
the Colorado case is hard to predict. The
court has a conservative majority on
many crucial civil rights issues-such as
affirmative action and redistricting. But
this cafe involves access to the political
process. Constitutional scholars say the
justices to watch ar,e Anthony Kennedy
and Sandra Day O Connor. Both hav. e
voted to uphold restrictions on gays in
other matters. Whatever the court de-
cides, the losers promise to fight back
w th other state and local strategies, and
struggles over gay ri[hts will go on well
into thc next millennmm. ·
BY KATIA HETTER
THE NEXT COURT TERM
Thrilling tales from yesteryear
TL fy, try again. That could
be the Supreme Court's
rallying cry for its 1995-96
term. Most prominent dis-
putes on the short docket in-
volve variations on familiar
themes, although a few cases
are likely to be added this
week. Even so, the justices
probably will review fewer
than 85 of the tens of thou-
sands of lower-court rulings
issued in a year. The dock-
et's brevity is "astonishing,"
says law Prof. Arthur Hell-
man of the University
of Pittsburgh, citing a paucity
of cases on criminal law and
major constitutional issues.
Here's a roundup, though,
of some prominent sequels
on tap:
· PunRive damages. De-
fendants long have sought ju-
dicial limits on multimillion-
dollar jury awards designed
to punish them for wrongdo-
ing. The Supreme Court has
been reluctant to curb such
verdicts, but it may happen
this term. In October, the jus-
tices will hear an appeal by
the U.S. distributor of BMW
autos. An Alabama jury or-
dered BMW to pay $4 mil-
lion- an award later cut in
half-to physician Ira Gore,
who complained that BMW
had secretly repalnted a car
Repainted BMW. High Court will rule on the damage award.
he had ordered without dis-
closing that it had been dam-
aged. Manufacturers say the
punishment is excessive.
They contend that the jury
was improperly swayed by al-
legations that BMWs in other
states were retouched with-
out their owners' knowledge.
A long list of business groups
has filed briefs backing
BMW's arguments.
· J.dlclal powers. Thc cou~
ruled last spring that a Kan-
sas City judge went too far in
a desegregation case by or-
dering Missouri m pay for
school improvements tied to
student performance. This
term's "judicial activism" is-
suc shifts to prisons: Arizona
accuses lower courts of
"micromanagement" by or-
dering inmate law libraries
kept open up to 80 hours a
week. The case could lead to
other cutbacks on wide-rang-
ing court controls over penal
institutions.
· Redi~trlcting. In June,
the court narrowly threw out
a Georgia political map
aimed at electing blacks to
Congress, saying it was ille-
gaby based on "racial stereo-
typing." While the fight over
redrawing that map simmers
in lower courts, the justices
will hear arguments over two
North C.~rolina House dis-
tricts and three Texas dis-
tricts that were drawn to fa~
vor black or Hispanic
candidates. The results will
affect the ethnic makeup of
Congress after the 1996 elec-
tions, but the splintered court
is unlikely to set precise lim-
its on what critics call racial
gerrymandering.
· Worker benefits. Taking up
another squabble over thc fed-
eral Employee Retirement In-
come Security Act (ERISA),
thc court will decide whether
individual workers may suc
employers over changes in
benefit plans. Companies,
fearing a wave of lawsuits,
ac that only the retirement
>lan itself, not a single partici-
)ant, may go to court.
The new term won't bc all
d~j& vu. The court will study
whether Congress violated
thc First Amendment when it
barred local phone compa-
nies from providing video
programs, although that issue
could be settled if lawmakers
anact pending telecommuni-
cations legislation. And a few
crime questions will come up,
including disputes over when
the gore ,rumcnt may seize
criminals property. But con-
tcntious legal issues such as
abortion, affirmative action
and church-state separation
are notably absent as a Iow-
key cour~ hunkers down for a.

Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council:
Subject:
Request from Comachi Corporation, represented by T. L. Plunkett, Jr.,
Attorney, that a condition of the closure of a portion of Baker Avenue,
N.W., closed by Ord. No. 32219-111494, be amended.
~ is a request to amend Ord. No. 32219-111494, as previously adopted
on November 14, 1994. Ordinance as adopted provided for the closure and
vacation of a two-block section of Baker Avenue, N.W. (see attached Map A),
subject to certain specific conditions.
Conditions as set forth in the subject ordinance required the applicant to provide
for the following:
"The applicant shall submit to the City, for its review and approval, receive
approval of, and record with the Clerk of Circuit court, a subdivision plat
providing thereon for the following:
The disposition of the land within the right-of-way in a manner consistent
with the requirements of Chapter 31, Subdivisions of the City Code
(1979), as amended.
The retention of appropriate easements, together with the right of public
passage over the same, for the purpose of construction, repair and general
maintenance of any and all utilities that may exist within said right-of-
way.
The dedication of land sufficient in size to provide for the construction of
a public turnaround at the terminus of 30th Street, N.W.
The applicant shall construct a public turnaround at the terminus of 30th Street,
N.W., in accordance with current City standards and specifications and shall
further submit to the agent to the Commission a plan and profile of said
turnaround for the City's review and approval prior to the commencement of
construction."

~ made by the applicant, subsequent to the City's adoption of Ord. No.
32219-111494, revealed that under the provisions of state law (Section 15.1-483),
upon closure and vacation by the City of the subject section of Baker Avenue,
N.W., tire to the land therein, vested entirely in the owners of the property
abutting the opposite side of the subject fight-of-way (Norfolk and Southern
Railway).
Am~licant was thereby required to negotiate a further agreement with the Norfolk
and Southern Railway Company to enable him to acquire one-half of the vacated
fight-of-way. In order for the applicant to obtain this section of fight-of-way, he
was further required to construct a parallel and additional access and roadway on
and adjacent to the Norfolk and Southern Railway property.
Anplication was reviewe~ by the Planning Commission at its regular meeting of
October 4, 1995. Application is a request for the City to amend the conditions
set forth in Ord. No. 32219-111494, in particular, and specifically, to delete
therefrom the following conditions:
"providing for dedication of land sufficient in size to provide for the construction
of a public turnaround at the terminus of 30th Street, N.W., and constructing a
public turnaround at the terminus at 30th Street, N.W., in accordance with City
standards and specifications, and applicant shall submit to the agent to the
Commission the plan and profile of said turnaround for review and approval prior
to commencement of construction."
~ to the Planning Commission concerning the need for a
public turnaround was based on the City's fight-of-way boundary lines as shown
on sheet No. 241 of the City's official appraisal maps. This. map sheet
incorrectly shows the public fight-of-way of 30th Street, N.W., terminating at its
juncture with the subject Baker Avenue, N.W. (see attached Map A).
Reonrt presented to the Planning Commission on September 7, 1994, advised the
Commission that *closure of Baker Avenue, N.W., between 25th Street and 30th
Street will create a dead-end right-of-way at the terminus at 30th Street, N.W."
This advice was based on an incorrect assumption on the part of City staff.
~ of the subject section of Baker Avenue, N.W., will
create a d~ad-end street. The actual fight-of-way boundary at 30th Street, N.W.,
continues across all old spur railway line and intersections with another open and
developed public right-of-way which is another section of Baker Street that
extends in a westerly direction (see attached Map B from appraisal map sheet no.
251).
Honorable Mayor and City Council

extends in a westerly direction (see attached Map B from appraisal map sheet no.

III. Issues:
B. ~.
C. Utilities within the ~ublic ri~,ht-of-way,
D. Creation of a dead-end $~r~t.
E. Land use.
F. Relationship to the comprehensive ~lan.
IV. Alternatives:
A. A~_pprove the applicant's request to amend the conditions as set forth in Ord. No.
32219-111494, as recommended and described in Part V. of this report.
1. .~lll~llli~al~. Amended conditions will have no adverse affect or
impact upon the adjacent community.
2. Ix. afYlg_ilglla~ Amended conditions will have no affect on existing or
future traffic needs in the area.
3. Utilities within the public right-of-way will not be an issue.
4. Land u~ will not be an issue.
6. Relationship to the comorehensive plan will not be an issue.
B. Deny the applicant's request to amend the conditions as set forth in Ord. No.
32219-111494, and as described in the subject application.
1. ~1311lll~t~ll~. Land on which the subject turnaround would have to
be built is currently owned by the Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing
Authority (RRHA) (see attached Map B, tax parcels 2410301 and 302).
Construction of a turnaround at this location would therefore impact on
other property owners in the community.
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Page 4
T_rllf~3.JlRIIi~. Construction of a turnaround at the juncture of 30th Street
and the vacated section of Baker Avenue, N.W., would not in anyway
improve traffic movement in the area.
Utilities within the public right-of-way. Easements have already been
retained for all utilities within the public right-of-way of the vacated
section of Baker Avenue, N.W. This condition will not be amended.
Creation of a dead-end street. Amendment of the conditions as requested
will not result in the creation of a dead-end street.
Land use. Amendment of the conditions as requested will be consistent
with sound land use practices.
Relafionshi~ to the com;>rehensive pliln. The request is consistent with the
intent of the comprehensive plan that available land should be used in the
most appropriate manner.
V. Recommendation:
Planning Commision by a vote of 6 to 0 recommends that Ci_ty Council aoorove
~, thereby approving the applicant's request to amend the conditions as
described and set forth in Ord. No. 32219-111494, to provide for the deletion of the
following specific conditions:
"providing for dedication of land sufficient in size to provide for the construction of a
public turnaround at the terminus of 30th Street, N.W., and constructing a public
turnaround at the terminus at 30th Street, N.W., in accordance with City standards and
specifications, and applicant shall submit to the agent to the Commission the plan and
profile of said turnaround for review and approval prior to commencement of
construction. ~
All other conditions shall remain intact as previously set forth in Ord. No. 32219-
111494.

APPLICATION FOR A/4~NDING
ORDINANCE NO. 32219-111494
VACATING, DISCONTINUING
AND CLOSING BAKER AVENUE
BETWEEN 25TH STREET AND
30TH STREET
MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL:
Comae-hi Corporation filed its application to vacate Baker
Avenue between 25th Street and 30th Street, N.W., after which
proper proceedings were held, the proper notices were given
and Council adopted its Ordinance No. 32219-111494 on November
14, 1994, vacating that portion of Baker Avenue, N.W., between
25th Street and 30th Street. That ordinance also provided the
following~
BE IT ~Kr~KORDAINEDthatthe closure of
the above-described right-of-way is conditioned
upon appliCantwa submitting to the City, receiving
approv&l of, and recording a subdivision plat,
providing for the disposition of the land within
the right-of-way, to be vacated, in a manner
consistent with the requirements of Chapter 31,
~, of the City Code, and providing for
the retention of appropriate easements, together
wi~h the right of public passage over the same,
for the purpose of construction, repair and
ge~eral maintenance of any and all utilities that
may exist within said right-of-way~ providing for
dedication of land sufficient in size to provide
.for the oonatruc~ion of a public turnaround at the
terminu~ of 30th Street, N.W.~ and constructing a
public turnaround at the terminus of 30thStrset,
N.W., in accordance with City standards and
specifications, and Applicant shall submit to the
-1-
Agent to the Commission the plan and profile of
said turnaround for review and approval prior to
commencement of construction; and in the event
these conditions have not been met and the said
plat has not been recorded in the Office of the
Clerk of Circuit Court within twelve (12) months
from the effective date of this ordinance, this
ordinance shall become null and void with no
further action by City Council being necessary.
It has been determined that if it is not impossible it is
at least impractical and undesirable to comply with that portion
of the ordinance "providing for dedication of land sufficient in
size to provide for the construction of the public turnaround at
the terminus of 30th Street, N.W.~, and constructing a public
turnaround at the terminus of 30th Street, N.W .... "
Comachi Corporation, by counsel, hereby applies to have
the aforesaid Ordinance No. 32219-111494 amended by deleting
therefrom that portion of the same stating "...providing for
dedication of land sufficient in size to provide for the
construction of the public turnaround at the terminus of 30th
Street, N.W. ~ and conatruc~cing a public turnaround at the
terminu~ of 30th Street, N.W., in accordance with City standards
and specifications."
C~maohi Corporation states that the grounds for this
application are aa follows=
(1) After careful study, it is believed that it is
actually impossible for Comachi Corporation to provide for
dedication of land sufficient in size to provide for the
construc~ion of a permanent turnaround at the terminus of 30th
--2--
Street, N.W., and actually construct a public turnaround at the
terminus of 30th Street, N.W. If it is not actually impossible,
it is certainly impractical and undesirable to do the same.
(2) The rights of no proper~y owner and of no citizen
will be adversely'affected by the amendment of the ordinance as
requested.
WHEREFORE, Comachi Corporation respectfully requests that
Ordinance No. 32219-111494 of city Council adopted November 14,
1994, be amended as herein provided and that if it is deemed
necessary or proper, the provisions of Section 15.1-364 of the
Code'of Virginia and Section 30-14 of the Code of the City of
Roanoke (1979), as amended, be followed.

Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council:
Subject: Request for Authorization to File a Virginia Enterprise Zone Application
I. Background:
A. Thirty-one (31) Vir.qinia Enterprise Zones have been designated by the
Governor under authority of the Virginia 1982 Enterprise Zone Act, Section
59.1-278 of the Code of Virginia.
B. Designation follows success in a competitive application process open to all
localities in the state.
C. The Roanoke Enterprise Zone was designated in 1984 in the first round of
competition, which resulted in seven local designations.
D. Enterprise Zone designation allows substantial state tax savings for
businesses that locate in the zone and existing businesses that expand their
workforce.
E. Enterprise Zone provisions constitute one of the most powerful tools for
developing jobs and creating private sector investment that has been
available to the city.
F. The General Assembly amended the Enterprise Zone Act, effective July 1,
1995, allowing localities the ability to have up to three enterprise zones.
G. The Governor will award up to fourteen (14) new zone desiQnations, based
on a competitive process, to be effective at the time of his announcement..

Current situation:
Proposed Second Roanoke Enterprise Zone area has been identified (see
Attachment A) which meets the Commonwealth's criteria for designation.
Public Hearing was held on September 11, 1995 to receive comments on the
appropriateness of pursuing a second Enterprise Zone designation.
Application has been developed, creating a package of incentives that will not
only be offered to businesses in the proposed zone, but will also be offered
to residents in the adjoining neighborhood.
D. Incentives to businesses to create private sector investment and jobs are:
City pays:
· water, sewer and fire hookup fees
· waiver of comprehensive development plan fees
· waiver of building permit fees
· partial exemption of real estate taxes for substantial rehabilitation of
commercial or industrial buildings
· architectural advisory assistance
· job training grants

IV.
Alternatives:
Roanoke City Council pass a resolution that the area shown on the
Enterprise Zone II map, dated 10-16-95, is requested for zone designation
and authorizing the City Manager to apply for such designation.
Timing is important as October 18, 1995 is the deadline for receipt of
enterprise zone applications.
Economic impact is anticipated to be substantial with increases in all
revenue sources affected by new or expanding businesses.
Neighborhood conditions are anticipated to improve as the city's
efforts to revitalize the area are made use of.
Roanoke City Council does not pass a resolution that the area shown on the
Enterprise Zone II map, dated 10-16-95, is requested for zone designation
and does not authorize the City Manager to apply for such designation.
1. Timin,q is not an issue.
Economic impact will be negative as the area will not develop at a

No. 95-192
Honorable David A. Bowers,
and Members of Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Mayor
Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of Council:
SUBJECT: Peters Creek Road Extension - VDOT Change Order
for Water and Sewer Facilities
I. Background:
City Council, at its meeting on May 22, 1995 authorized
execution of the City-State Agreement to enable
construction to begin on the Peters Creek Road Extension
Project (Resolution No. 32482-052295).
Project includes additional replacement, realignment and
upgrade of existing water and sanitary sewer lines that
would not ordinarily have been done as part of this
roadway project. The betterment portion of these
improvements is a City expense.
The report to City Council on May 22, 1995 advised that
some additional sanitary sewer and water lines were in
the process of being added to the project, with the City
participating in 100% of the cost, and that a change
order for the work would be presented in the near future.
The sanitary sewer lines basically run adjacent to
the roadway improvements. Their replacement will
reduce ground water infiltration into the sewer
system (part of the City's ongoing Inflow &
Infiltration Program).
The water line replacement in Melrose Avenue (at
the Peters Creek Road intersection) corrects an
ongoing maintenance problem with several major
breaks and leaks.
II. Current Situation:
Cost of proposed additional work has been developed by
the prime contractor, English Construction Company, Inc.
The Virginia Department of Transportation is now seeking
City concurrence in the additional cost. A VDOT change
order has been prepared with a net increase in the amount
of $318,127.00 at 100% City expense, and a time extension
of 38 calendar days (see attached).
Mayor and Members

This proposal is considered reasonable. This work is
better coordinated within the roadway contract than if it
were done by an independent contractor.
Fundinq is available in the Sewage Fund Retained Earnings
($273,460.00) and Water Fund Previous Years' Retained
Earnings ($44,667.00).
III. Issues:
A. Utility Lines
B. Fundinq

Utility lines will be improved for sanitary sewer
and water.

order on behalf of the City.

Earnings to Account No. 003-056-8472-9003 and $44r667.00

Alternatives in order of feasibility are as follows:
Authorize the City Manaqer to execute an enqineerinq services contract
with Mattern & Cra .q, Inc. in the amount of $98,500 and authorize a
contingency in the amount of $5,000 for a total of $103,500.

continued safety to the traveling public as the repairs are made.
Reasonableness of fee has been met and is in accordance with the

Funding will be provided by the anticipated bond proceeds of the
1996 bond issue. Internal Revenue Service regulations require
that the City declare its intent to reimburse itself $103,500 from
the proceeds of its general obligation bonds authorized to be
issued pursuant to Ordinance No. 32131-080894, adopted by City
Council on August 8, 1994.
Do not authorize the City Manaqer to execute an en.q neerinq servicec
contract with Mattern & Cra .q, Inc.
Eng neerinq concerns will not be met. The bridge structures will
continue to deteriorate and safety to the traveling public will not
be maintained.
2. Reasonableness of fee will not be an issue at this time.

No. 95-195
Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor
and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of Council:
SUBJECT: City-State Agreement for Second Street/Gainsboro Road
(Orange Avenue, N.W. to Salem Avenue, S.W.)
I. Background:
City Council, at its meeting on April 13, 1987,
unanimously approved Resolution No. 28607 and No. 28608
which requested the Virginia Department of Transportation
(VDOT) to program projects for roadway widening and
realignment to include:
1. First Street/Gainsboro Road from Madison Avenue,
N.W. to Salem Avenue, S.W.
2. Wells Avenue, N.W. from Williamson Road to
First Street, N.W.
3. Intersection of Orange Avenue and Gainsboro Road
These projects, which are consistent with the Roanoke
Valley Area Long Range Transportation Plan, were
subsequently included in VDOT's Six-Year Highway
Improvement Program.
"Downtown North" study results for the Downtown North
Development Plan, released at May 11, 1989 press
conference, included a recommendation to construct a
four-lane Second Street bridge instead of a four-lane
First Street bridge. The Second Street corridor provides
a clearer and more well-defined west circumferential
route than First Street.
Location and Design Public Hearing was held on
May 22, 1990, in City Council Chambers, having been
preceded by an informal project plan review session on
May 21, 1990 , for the Second Street/Gainsboro Road
project.
In response to public hearing comments, project
enhancements were developed and shared by City staff with
interested citizens from the Gainsboro community on
August 9, 1990. The proposed design concepts were well
received.
Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor
and Members of Council
Page 2
October 16, 1995
No. 95-195
Proposed desiqn of the Second Street/Gainsboro Road
project consists of four ll-foot lanes which will provide
for two lanes of travel in each direction. Concrete
curb, gutter, and sidewalk will be provided on both sides
of the roadway as well as street lights and landscaping
behind the sidewalks. A new bridge will span the
N&W Railroad tracks and Shenandoah Avenue. New traffic
signals will be installed at the intersection of
Gainsboro Road at Gilmer Avenue as well as Gainsboro Road
at Wells Avenue. The speed limit will be signed at
25 miles per hour.
Existinq Second Street at Salem Avenue carries
approximately 4,500 vehicles per day. The traffic volume
on Gainsboro Road at Orange Avenue is approximately 7,600
vehicles per day. The traffic volumes for the Second
Street/Gainsboro Road project for the design year 2010
are expected to range between 20,700 at Salem Avenue to
18,100 at Orange Avenue. The anticipated traffic will be
better served by the proposed roadway project which will
be a link in the overall loop system.
The loop will consist of:
- Williamson Road from Franklin to Wells
- Wells Avenue from Williamson to Gainsboro
- Second Street/Gainsboro Road from Wells to Franklin
- Franklin Road from Second to Williamson
Improvements at the intersection of Orange Avenue and
Gainsboro Road include the construction of a left-turn
lane which will be designed to handle 3,750 vehicles per
day (of which 430 would be handled in the morning peak
hour) for the design year 2010. The lane itself will be
capable of storing as many as twenty (20) vehicles at a
time, which will be controlled by a separate left turn
phase in the traffic signal.
City Council, at its meeting on October 1, 1990, approved
the location and major design features of the project
(Resolution No. 30254-10190). Commonwealth
Transportation Board approved the location and major
design features of the proposed project subsequent to
Council's approval.
Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor
and Members of Council

No. 95-195
II. Current Situation:
Bids for project construction were received by VDOT on
August 29, 1995. The Commonwealth Transportation Board
awarded a contract to Branch Highways, Inc. (of Roanoke)
on September 21, 1995, in the amount of $8~390~849.84.
City needs to execute the attached City-State Agreement
(Attachment II) before VDOT will allow
Branch Highways, Inc. to begin construction.
City Share of the cost for this project (preliminary
engineering @ 5%, right-of-way @ 2%, and construction
@ 2%) is $630~182.23. The fourth page of Attachment II
shows the cost sharing ratios to be used on this project.
As of June 30, 1995, the City has already funded
$226,420.00 toward the above total for preliminary
engineering and right-of-way costs. This leaves a
balance of $403~762.23 needed for the City's share of the
remaining estimated costs.
Included within the project cost are some 100% City
expense items that would not ordinarily have been done as
part of this roadway project:
Additional replacement and upgrade of existing
water lines ($94,968.17).
Four (4) new decorative street lights on Wells
Avenue between new Gainsboro Road and existing
First Street, N.W. Also, twenty (20) lights will
be attached to the underside of the new bridge
($89,584.74).
Along the north side of Gilmer Avenue,
Gainsboro Road, 850 feet of new curb,
brick sidewalk ($49,831.10).
east of new
gutter and
Historic Gainsboro sign at the corner of
Gainsboro Road and Wells Avenue identical to the
sign at the corner of Wells Avenue and
Commonwealth Avenue ($24,000.00).

III. Issues:
A. Funding
B. Construction Plans
C. Timing
IV. Alternatives:
Authorize the City Manager, in a form acceptable to the
City Attorney, to execute the City-State Agreement on
behalf of the City; appropriate $308,794.06 from the
Streets and Sidewalks Category of the 1996 Bond Issue
into the Second Street/Gainsboro Road Account (No. 008-
052-9547-9003); and appropriate $94,968.17 from Water
Fund Previous Years' Retained Earnings to an account to
be established by the Director of Finance.
Funding, in the amount of $403,762.23, exists in
the sources identified on Attachment III (Part B).
It is the City's intent to reimburse front-funding
with bond funds upon issuance of the 1996 bonds.
Internal Revenue Service regulations (Section
1.150-2) require that the City declare its intent
to reimburse itself $308,794.06 from the proceeds
of its 1996 General Obligation bonds.
Construction plans comply with City's needs for
improved traffic flow and safety.
Timing for project construction to begin is this
month. Project will require approximately two
years to complete.
Reject City-State Agreement and proceed to reimburse VDOT
for 100% of all expenditures to date in accordance with
City Resolution Nos. 28607 and 28608.
Funding would be needed in the amount of the total
VDOT project expenditures to date, which is
$1,941,513.70 less the City share paid to date,
which results in a balance needed of $1,851,712.60.

2. Construction plans would not be built.
3. Timing is not an issue.
V. Recommendation is that City Council:
Authorize the City Manager, in a form acceptable to the
City Attorney, to execute the City-State Agreement on
behalf of the city.
Appropriate $308~794.06, front-funded from the Streets
and Sidewalks Category of the 1996 Bond Issue (008-052-
9701-9191) into the Second Street/Gainsboro Road Account
(No. 008-052-9547-9003).
Appropriate $94~968.17 from Water Fund Previous Years'
Retained Earnings to an account to be established by the
Director of Finance.
Adopt the appropriate resolution indicating the City's
intent to reimburse front-funding with bond proceeds upon
sale of the 1996 bonds.

contributions for which appropriation of Funds are
necessary.
The items and pro~ects identified are needed to
continue the efficient and effective performance of
assigned responsibilities and task.
A listing of items and contributions costing less
than $75,000 is identified on Attachment "A" of
this report. That attachment identified needs for
prior year as well as current year Capital
Maintenance and Equipment Replacement Items.
The City Manager, by authority designated by
Council, can approve expenditures less than $75,000
once the Funds have been appropriated by Council.
Items to be purchased will be done so in accordance
with the procurement section of the Code of the
City of Roanoke.
II. Current Situation is:
It is necessary for City Council to appropriate
Funds from the Capital Maintenance and Equipment
Replacement Program to provide for the items listed

SUBJECT:
Bid Committee Report for
Purchasing Application
Software System
Bid No. 95-7-52
IX.
Background on the subject in chronological order is:
'95-'96 Capital Maintenance and Equipment
Replacement Proqram identifies the need to purchase
an on line Purchasing System consisting of
software, training and computer hardware.
The software to operate an on line Purchasing
System must be compatible to the existing Financial
System in order to function correctly.
The Roanoke City Schools utilize the City's
Financial System and will also utilize the
Purchasing System.
An on-line Purchasing System consists of extended
Purchasing Software, Fixed Asset Subsystem,
Miscellaneous Hardware for Departments not having
systems available and training including travel and
expenses.
Specifications were developed and requests for
proposals were specifically sent to ten (10)
vendors that had software available for on line
Purchasing System. A public advertisement was also
published in the Roanoke Times and Roanoke Tribune.
Responses to the request for proposals were opened
at 2:00 p.m. on August 15, 1995 in the Office of
Supply Management.
Current Situation is:
One (1) response was received. That response was
submitted by American Management Systems, Inc.
which is the provider of the existing Financial
System.
Purchasing Application Software System
Bid No. 95-7-52
Page 2
III.
The proposal was evaluated in a consistent manner
by representatives of the following departments:
Finance
City Information Systems
Supply Management
Municipal Auditing
Roanoke City Schools
The response, submitted by American Management
Systems, Inc. meets all required specifications and
is compatible with the existing Financial System.
~egotiations were conducted and an agreement was
reached that, if purchased, the cost of the
required system would be as follows:
1. Extended Purchasing Software $71,250
2. Fixed Asset Subsystem 20,000
3. Training and Expenses for
System implementation
40~000
A Fund ApPropriation of $101,350 will also be
needed to provide for the purchase of necessary
PC's and related equipment to provide various
departments the capability to utilize the system.
All computer related equipment will be procured in
accordance with the Procurement Section of the Code
of the City of Roanoke.
Issues
A. ~eed
B. Compliance with Specifications
C. Fundinq
Purchasing Application Software System
Bid No. 95-7-52

IV.
Alternatives in order of Feasibility are:
Authorize the City Manager to purchase requested
software, including training and expenses for an on
line Purchasing System from American Management
Systems, Inc. for a cost of ~131r250 and also
authorize the purchase of PC's at a cost of
$101r350 to allow various departments the
capability to use the system.
Need for an on line Purchasing System is
necessary to reduce paperwork, save time and
improve internal controls.
Compliance with specifications has been met by
the response submitted by American Management
Systems, Inc.
3. Fundinq is available as follows:
$212~600 from Materials Control Prior
Year Retained Earnings Account
$20,000 from Roanoke City School Fund
Account 030-060-6006-6662-0821
Do not authorize the City Manager to purchase
requested software and do not appropriate Funds for
the purchase of PC's as requested.
Need to address the areas of procurement that
will allow for reduction in paperwork, time
savings and improved internal controls would
not be accomplished.
Compliance with specifications would not be a
factor in this alternative.
Fundinq designated for the acquisition of the
requested software, hardware and related items
for an On Line Purchasing System would not be
expended at this time.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
SUBJECT: CONTINUATION OF A HEALTH COUNSELOR POSITION
Mayor and Members of Council:
I. Backqround
The demand for HIV/Aids related services is growing in
Roanoke City.
In 1989~ 36 patients with HIV/Aids were known to
the Health Department. As of January, 1995, over
600 patients have sought services through the
HIV/Aids Program.
Roanoke City Health Department is one of twenty-
two designated anonymous test sites in Virginia.
The clinic is open every Monday from 3 p.m. to 6
p.m. HIV testing is offered at no charge. In
1990 - 578 were tested, 1991 - 820 were tested,
1992 1,399 were tested, 1993 - 922 were tested,
1994 853 were tested.
The Aids Council of Western Virqinia has provided case
management services in the past to several patients
within Roanoke City. However, their updated service
plan states client services will be phased out.
The responsibility for client services will rest in the
HIV/Aids Program at the Roanoke City Health Department.
Services will be provided to clients from jurisdictions
to be served including Roanoke City, Roanoke County,
City of Salem, Botetourt County, Craig County and
Allegheny County in the Fifth Planning District.
II. Current Situation
The Roanoke City Health Department was awarded a grant
for $32,000 in 1993 and $35~000 in 1994 from the Bureau
of Sexually Transmitted Disease/Aids with the Virginia
Department of Health to address case management service
needs. This grant was again awarded to the Roanoke
City Health Department for $35,500 for 1995.
The Roanoke City Health Department has a limit on the
number of full-time classified state positions to
establish this position.
III. Issues
A. Services to citizens.
B. Benefits to the Health Department.
C. Supervision.
D. Funding
IV. Alternatives
City Council authorize the City Manager to accept the
grant from the Bureau of STD/Aids with the Virginia
Department of Health and appropriate $35,500 to be
established in the grant fund, with a corresponding
revenue estimate.
1. Services to citizens - case management services
will continue to be provided to help coordinate
the complex medical and social needs of these
citizens.
Benefit to the Health Department - the additional
staff position funded by the grant allows more
community education, outreach, partner
notification, and medical case management.
Supervision - the Health Department will supervise
this position.
Funding - The Health Department will reimburse the
City 100 percent of salary and benefits. Position
will be terminated when funding is depleted.
Do not authorize the City Manager to accept the grant
from the Bureau of STD/Aids with the Virginia
Department of Health and do not appropriate $35,500 to
accounts to be established in the grant fund.
Services to citizens - some citizens would not
receive case management services.
Benefits to the Health Department - Over-worked
staff and low morale are the results of growing
demand without adequate staff support.
Supervision - not an issue.
Fundinq - potential loss of grant funds to Roanoke
City Health Department.
Recommendation
City Council authorize the City Manager to accept the
grant from the Bureau of STD/Aids with the Virginia
Department of Health.
ADDropriate $35r500 to the following accounts to be
established in the grant fund, with a corresponding
revenue estimate.
1. Salaries $26,500.00
2. ICMA Deferred Compensation 2,340.00
3. FICA 2,168.00
4. Hospitalization Ins. 2,100.00
5. Life Insurance 54.00
6. Dental Insurance 110.00

Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of Council:
The Repoit to Council and Ordinance attached regarding Personal Property Filing By Exception
is presented for your consideration and review. The urgency with which I present this to you
stems fi:om the need to immediately send out for bid the forms for our 1996 filing year. A second
consideration is the need for our computer department to have the necessary time to make any
modifications they determine needed in our personal property system prior to our filing season
beginning January 1.
I look forward to answering any questions you may have on this issue and to seeing you on
Monday.
Sincerely,

September 25, 1995
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Vir~nia
Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of Council:
Subject: Personal Property Filing By Exception
Background on the subject begins with the 1994 General Assembly enacting a new section of
the Code of Vir~nia, specifically section 58.1-3518.1 to provide legal authority for the
Commissioner of the Revenue to assess and tax motor vehicles based upon tax returns for
prior years.
The current situation is that under previous state law and current local ordinance, every
motor vehicle owner is required to file a remm with the Commissioner's office by Febma~
15, regardless of whether there has been any change in the vehicle's status, or value, or the
owner's name or address. Current local ordinance on proration provides that, when a
vehicle acquires its tax situs in the City after January 1, the owner is required to report such
property to the Commiasioner within 30 days of DMV registration date to avoid penalty
and to pay the tax assessed within 60 days of DMV registration. Part of the
recommendation of this report is to change the requirement of registering within 30 days
and paying within 60 days of the "DMV registration date" to within 30 and 60 days from the
date of vehicle purchase. The purchase date is a date certain and equates to the acquisition
of situs in the City more promptly and accurately than the DMV registration date.
11I. Issues in order of importance are:
A. Fiscal lm~nact: Savings in City mailing costs, future printing costs, and
taxpayer return mailing is estimated to be $125,000
B. Customer Service: Elimination of required filing deadline of February 15 which will
eliminate the late filing penalty at that date; this will greatly increase
our customer service orientation.
C. Efficiency: Reduction in Commissioners office processing of taxpayer returns which are
already correct during peak work time; this time saved will be used for
generating additional revenue.
IV. Alternatives regarding filing by exception for personal properW tax:
A. City Council adopt the attached ordinance amending the Code of the City_ of Roanoke to
allow filing by exception for motor vehicles personal property tax purposes and to
provide that motor vehicle tax returns shall be filed within 30 days form the date of
vehicle purchase and paid within 60 days from the date of vehicle purchase.
1. The filing by exception amendment does not affect the filing of property tax
returns for motor vehicles owned by a business. A motor vehicle owner who is
not a business will still be required to file a return within thirty (30) days in the
following situations:
a. Each time a motor vehicle is acquired with a Roanoke City situs
and for which no previous personal property tax return has been filed.
b. A change in the name or address of the person or persons owning a
personal motor vehicle taxable by the City of Roanoke.
c. A change in the situs of a personal motor vehicle.
d. Any other change affecting the assessment or levy of the personal
property tax on a personal motor vehicle for which a tax return has been
filed previously.
The filing by exception change would not effect the filing by any business for
business personal property including motor vehicles or trailers or any non-
prorated personal property.
B. City Council not adopt the attached ordinance, thereby not saving an estimated
$125,000 anmlally in associated costs. The City would also not enhance the goodwill
opportunity from the elimination of the February 15 tax filing deadline. The
Commissioner's office would not be in a position to increase productivity and efficiency
during its peak workload time with current staffifthis ordinance is not adopted.
V. Recommendation:
City Council adopt the attached ordinenee to be effective January 1, 1996, amending the
Code of the City of Roanoke to enable filing by exception for personal property tax, to
require the vehicle's owner to register within thirty days and pay within sixty days of the
vehicle purchase date.

Honorable Mayor and Members of Council:
We concur with the personal property tax filing by exception report. This
will eliminate a filing deadline and the ten percent (10%) non-filing penalty. All
~ personal property taxpayers that have complied with our current
filing requirements with the Commissioner of the Revenue will be billed by the
Treasurer.
The personal property revenue base will remain intact. Penalties and
interest revenues may be reduced, but the reduction is negligible.
Modifications will be required to the personal property computer programs
and financial stationery.
We recommend your approval of the proposed changes.

APPENDIX C
to the Bond Sale Agreement
USE OF PROCEEDS CERTIFICATE
In connection with the issuance by [Name of Local Unit] (the "Issuer") of its
$ General Obligation School Bonds, Series 1995__ (the "Bonds"), which
will be purchased by the V~olnia Public School Authority ("VPSA") from the proceeds of
the VPSA's $ School Financing Bonds (1991 Resolution), Series 1995 C
(the "VPSA's Bonds"), pursuant to a Bond Sale Agreement dated as of October 17, 1995,
the Issuer recognizes that certain facts, estimates and representations set forth in the
Certificate as to Arbitrage executed by VPSA in connection with the issuance of the VPSA's
Bonds must be based on the representations and certifications of the Issuer and that the
exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of the interest on the VPSA's
Bonds depends on the use of proceeds of the VPSA's and the Issuer's Bonds. Accordingly,
the Issuer hereby covensnts that:
Section 1. Description of Pro_iect. The proceeds of the Bonds, including
investment income thereon ("proceeds"), will be used to finance the acquisition, construction,
and equipping of public school facilities of the Issuer (the "Project").
Section 2. ~;gvernmental Use of Proceeds. The Issuer covenants the following
with respect to the use of proceeds of the Bonds and the facilities financed therewith:
(a) In Genera. No more than ten percent (10%) of the proceeds of the
Bonds or the Project (based on the greatest of.' 1) the cost allocated on the basis of
space occupied, 2) the fair market value, or 3) the actual cost of construction) has
been, or, so long as the Bonds are outstanding, will be, used in the aggregate for any
activities that constitute a "Private Use" (as such term is defined below in subsection
(d) of this Section 2). No more than ten percent (10%) of the principal of or interest
on the Bonds, under the terms thereof 9r any underlying arrangement, has been, or,
so long as the Bonds are outstanding, will be, (i) secured by (A) any interest in
property used or to be used for a Private Use or (B) payments in respect of such
property or (ii) derived from payments in respect of property used or to be used for
a Private Use, whether or not such property is a part of the Project.
Co) No Disproportionate or Unrelated Use. With respect to private
business use that is either unrelated or disproportionate to governmental usc
financed with proceeds of the Bonds (if any), no more than five percent (5%) of the
principal of or interest on the Bonds, under the terms thereof or any underlying
arrangement, has been, or, so long as the Bonds are outstanding, will be, directly or
indirectly (i) secured by (A) any interest in property used or to be used for a Private
Use or (B) payments in respect of such property or (ii) derived from payments in
respect of property used or to be used for a Private Use whether or not such
property is part of the Project.
(c) No Private Loan Financing. No proceeds of the Bonds will be used to
make or finance loans to any person other than to a state or local governmental unit.
(d) Definition of Private Use. For purposes of this Certificate, the term
"Private Use* means any activity that constitutes a trade or business that is carried
on by persons or entities, other than governmental entities. The leasing of property
financed with proceeds of the Bonds or the access of a person or entity other than
a governmental unit to property or services on a basis other than as a member of the
general public shall constitute a Private Use unless the Issuer obtains an opinion of
Bond Counsel to the contrary.
(e) Management and Service Contracts. With respect to service or
management contracts, the determination of whether a particular use constitutes
Private Use under this Certificate shall be determined on the basis of applying
Revenue Procedure 93-19, 1993-1 C.B. 526, or, if applicable, Revenue Procedure 82-
14, 1982-1 CB. 459, as modified by Section 1301(e) of the Tax Reform Act of 1986.
As of the date hereof, no portion of the proceeds derived from the sale of the Bonds
is being used to finance property subject to contracts or other arrangements with
persons or entities engaged in trade or business (other than state or local
governmental units) that involve the management of property or the provision of
services with respect to property financed with proceeds of the Bonds that do not
comply with the standards of Revenue Procedure 93-19.
Section 3. Time Test and Due Diligence Test. The Issuer has incurred or will
incur within 6 months of the date hereof substantial binding obligations, which are not
subject to contingencies within the control of the Issuer or a related party, to third parties
to expend at least 5% of the net sale proceeds of the Bonds on the Project. The Issuer will
proceed with due diligence to spend all of the proceeds of the Bonds within three years of
the date hereof.
Section 4. Dispositions and Change in Use.
(a) No Sale or Disposition. The Issuer expects to own and operate and
does not expect to sell or otherwise dispose of the Project, or any component thereof,
prior to the final maturity date of the VPSA's Bonds (August 1, 2015), except such
minor parts or portions thereof as may be disposed of due to normal wear,
obsolescence or depreciation in the ordinary course of business.

governmental purpose of the Issuer during the period of time the Bonds are
outstanding, unless an opinion of Bond Counsel is received with respect to any
proposed change in use of the Project.

fi.om being private activity bonds, within the meaning of Section 141(a) of the Code.
Furthermore, the Issuer has established reasonable procedures to ensure compliance
with this covenant.
Section 5. lq0 Sinking or Pledge Funds. The Issuer has not established and will
not establish any funds or accounts that are reasonably expected to be used to pay debt
service on the Bonds or that are pledged (including negative pledges) as collateral for the
Bonds for which there is a reasonable assurance that amounts on deposit therein will be
available to pay debt service on the BOnds if the Issuer encounters financial difficulty.
Section 6. No Replacement Proceeds.
(a) In General. No portion of the proceeds of the BOnds will be used as
a substitute for other funds that prior to the Issuer's resolving to proceed with the
issuance of the Bonds were used or are to be used to pay any cost of the Project.

financing together with the Bonds, and (c) paid out of substantially the same source of funds

in making loans the payment of principal or interest on which are guaranteed in whole or

service contract with any federal governmental agency, (ii) service contract with any federal
governmental agency under terms that are materially different from the terms of any
contracts with any persons other than federal government agencies, and (iii) lease of
property to any federal government agency, that would cause the Bonds to be considered
"federally guaranteed~ within the meaning of Section 149Co) of the Code.

proceeds of the Bonds will be used to pay the cost of the Project within three years of the

prior to __, 199_, which is the date the Issuer adopted its ~official
intent" declaration (the "Official Intent Declaration") in accordance with Section

(ii) set forth a general description of the Project, and
(iii) stated the maximum principal amount of debt expected to be

that would contradict or otherwise be inconsistent with such intent.
CO) Reasonable Official Intent. As of the date of the Official Intent
Declaration, the Issuer reasonably expected to reimburse such expenditures with the
proceeds of a borrowing. The Issuer does not have a pattern of failing to reimburse
expenditures for which an intention to reimburse such expenditures was declared and
which were actually paid by the Issuer other than in circumstances that were
unexpected and beyond the control of the Issuer.
(c) Reimbursement Period Requiremcnl[, The proceeds derived from the sale
of the Bonds to be applied to reimburse the above-described expenditures will be so applied
no later than the later of the date that is (i) eighteen (18) months after the date on which

which the portion of the Project to which such expenditure relates was placed in service
within the meaning of Section 1.150-2 of the Treasury Regulations or abandoned. The
Issuer shall not, however, use Bond proceeds to reimburse the above-described expenditures
later than three (3) years after the date the original expenditure was paid.

Regulatiom), (iv) grants (within the meaning of Section 1.148-6 (d) (4) of the
Treasury Regulations), or (v) qualified student loans, qualified mortgage loans or
qualified veterans' mortgage loans (within the meaning of Section 1.150-1(b) of the

day-to-day operating costs or similar working capital items.
None of the proceeds of the Bonds being used to reimburse the Issuer for

proceeds (within the meaning of Section 1.148-1 of the Treasury Regulations), other
than amounts deposited in a bona fide debt service fund.
(e) ~ None of the proceeds of the Bonds are being used in
a manner that employs an abusive arbitrage device under Section 1.148-10 of the

ENDNOTES
For purposes of this questionnaire, "real propert~ means improvements to land, such
as buildings or other inherently permanent structures, including items that are
structural components of such buildings or structures. For example, real property
includes wiring in a building, plumbing systems, central heating or central air
conditioning systems, pipes or ducts, elevators or escalators installed in a building,
paved parking areas, road, wharves and docks, bridges and sewage lines.
For purposes of this questionnaire, tangible personal property means any tangible
property except real property. For example, tangible personal property includes
machinery that is not a structural component of a building, fire trucks, automobiles,
office equipment, testing equipment and furnishings.
See description of real property in endnote 1. This includes all capital expenditures
that are properly chargeable to or may be capitalized as part of the basis of the real
property prior to the date the property is placed in service. For purposes of this
questionnaire, expenditures are considered paid in connection with the construction,
reconstruction or rehabilitation of real property if the contract between the Issuer
and the seller requires the seller to build or install the property (such as under a
"turnkey contract") but only to the extent the property has not been built or installed
at the time the parties enter into the contract. If the property has been partially built
or installed at the time the parties enter into the contract, the expenditures that are
allocable to the portion of the property built or installed before that time are
expenditures for the acquisition of real property.
See endnote 3.
See endnote 3.
For purposes of this questionnaire, expenditures are in connection with the
construction of tangible personal property, as defined in endnote 2, if:
(a) A substantial portion of the property or properties is completed more
than 6 months after the earlier of the date construction or rehabilitation commenced
and the date the Issuer entered into an acquisition contract;
(b) Based on the reasonable expectations of the Issuer, if any, or
representations of the person constructing the property, with the exercise of due
diligence, completion of construction or rehabilitation (and delivery to the Issuer)
could not have occurred within that 6-month period; and
(c) If the Issuer itself builds or rehabilitates the property, not more than 75%

of the capitali~able cost is attributable to property acquired by the Issuer (e.g.,
components, raw materials and other supplies).
Specially developed computer software means any programs or routines used to cause
a computer to perform a desired task or set of tasks, and the documentation required
to describe and maintain those programs, provided that the software is specially
developed and is functionally related and subordinate to real property or other
constructed personal property.

Disbursement of Proceeds of Local School
Bonds Purchased by the Virginia Public School
Authority with the Proceeds of Its $
School Financing Bonds (1991 Resolution)
Series 1995 C
This PROCEEDS AGREEMENT, dated December __, 1995 (this 'Agreement'), is
among the Virginia Public School Authority, a public body corporate and a political
subdivision and instrumentality of the Commonwealth of Virginia ("VPSA'), the 21 counties
and 5 cities that are signatories to this Agreement (collectively, the "Local Units", and each a
"Local Unit"), Central Fidelity National Bank, a banking institution organized under the laws
of the United States of America and having its. principal office in Richmond, Virginia, and
Commonwealth Inveshnent Counsel, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Virginia
and having an office in Richmond, Virginia. All capilaliTed terms used herein shall have the
meaning given to them in Section 2 hereof.
The parties hereto agree and covenant as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
A. On or before October 17, 1995, VPSA and each of the Local Units entered
into a Bond Sale Agreement, pursuant to which VPSA agreed to purchase, and the Local Unit
agreed to sell its Local School Bonds.
B. On November 28, 1995, VPSA's Bonds were awarded at competitive bidding
to the Purchaser. The Purchaser is obligated by the terms of its bid to pay the purchase price
for VPSA's Bonds on the Closing Date. VPSA will apply the proceeds of the sale of VPSA's
BWNY'2/254305.3118580100~06/I890 September 26, 1995
Bonds, together with other available money, to the purchase of the Local School Bonds on
December __, 1995, the Local School Bonds Closing Date. VPSA will apply the balance of the
proceeds of the sale of VPSA's Bonds to fund the 1991 Debt Service Reserve Account, to pay
a portion of interest on the VPSA's Bonds between the July 15, 1996 interest payment date on
the 1995 C Local School Bonds and the August 1, 1996 interest payment date on the VPSA's
Bonds and to pay costs of issuance of the VPSA Bonds.
C. The Code imposes requirements on VPSA and the Local Units selling their
Local School Bonds to VPSA that must be met if interest on VPSA's Bonds and interest on the
Local School Bonds axe to be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes,
including a requirement that in certain circumstances, omain investment income with respect
to the Local School Bonds, which income is deemed for federal income tax proposes to be
investment income of VPSA's Bonds, be subject to payment, or in lieu thereof certain payments
be made, to the United States Treasury.
D. VPSA has determined that in order to fulfill its representations respecting the
maintenance of the exclusion of the interest on VPSA's Bonds from gross income for federal
income tax purposes, VPSA must establish a mechanism to provide accountability for the
custody, investment and disbursement of the proceeds of VPSA's Bonds and the proceeds of the
I_xx:al School Bonds.
E. It is the purpose of this Agreement to enable VPSA (i) to fulfill the
representations mentioned in the preceding subsection; (ii) subject to the constraints of the Code
affecting the investment of the proceeds of tax-exempt obligations, to achieve the optimum, prac-
ticable income by the professional management of the investment and reinvestment of the pro-
BWNY2t254305.3/I$550/O0006/l$90 September 26, 1995 2

by a fraction, the numerator of which is the positive Local Unit Rebate Requirement calculated
separately and the denominator of which is the sum of all of the positive Local Unit Rebate
Requirements calculated separately.
If any provision of this Agreement shall become inconsistent with any regulation
or regulations promulgated under Section 148(~ of the Code subsequent to the date hereof,

to provide for a deposit to the Income Subaccount such that the balance in the Income
Subaccount is equal to the Local Unit Rebate Requirement for the Local Unit, the Investment
Manager shall advise VPSA and such Local Unit of the amount of the deficiency, and, to the
extent permitted by law, the Local Unit agrees to transfer promptly to CFNB, from any funds
that are or may be made legally available for such purpose, the amount required.

equal to the face amount of such Local Unit's Local School Bonds. VPSA will notify the Local
Unit of the amount of such credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when a Local Unit shall

VPSA shall offer to amend this Agreement whenever it shall in good faith determine, based on
an opinion of its counsel, that uny one or more of the restrictions or requirements imposed by
this Agreement upon the Local Units, or any of them, may be removed or modified without
adversely affecting the exclusion of interest on VPSA's Bonds from gross income for federal
income tax purposes.

Series 1995 C
This Ll~.TTER AGRI~.I~.~NT, dated the date shown above (this 'Letter Agreement'),
ia between the Authority and the Investment Manager. AH capitalized terms used herein shall
have the meaning given to them in Part E of this Letter Agreement or in Section 2 of the
Proceeds Agreement to which this Letter Agreement is attached as Exhibit C.
With respect to the VPSA's Bonds, the Code requires that an amount equal to the
VPSA's Rebate Requirement be paid to the United Slates Treasury. With respect to each issue
of Local School Bonds, the Code requires that an amount equal to the Local Unit's Rebate
Requirement be paid to the United States Treasury. Accordingly, VPSA hereby directs thc
Investment Manager, as provided below, to assist VPSA and each Local Unit to comply with
the VPSA's Rebate Requirement and the respective Local Unit's Rebate Requirement.
To enable VPSA and the Local Units to fulfill their respective obligations under the
Proceeds Agreement and to make such payments, and to enable the Investment Manager to fulfill
its obligations under this Letter Agreement, the Investment Manager will prepare, on or before
January 5, 1996 and each January 5 thereafter, the Investment Reports for VPSA as of the
preceding December I and each Local Unit as of the preceding December 1. On the basis of
such Investment Reports, VPSA shall cause the Rebate Calculation Agent to prepare the Local
Unit Rebate Computation setting forth the Local Unit Rebate Requirement as of each
Computation Date for each Local Unit with respect to its issue of l. zx:al School Bonds as
described in paragraph 4 of Part B hereto. In addition, the Investment Manager will, based on
the Rebate Report, transfer, within thirty (30) days after the Computation Date of each Local
l~'AqqY2/254305.3/18580/O(X}0611890 S~ptember 26, 1995 C-1
Unit, from its Principal Subaccount, if necessary, to its Income Subaccount, the amount required
so that the amount to the credit of the Income Subaccount of each Local Unit shall equal its
Local Unit Rebate Requirement.
A. Investment Re_~rt
With respect to all Nonpurpuse Investments acquired during the term of this Letter
Agreement with Gross Proceeds of each issue of Local School Bonds, the Investment Manager
shall maintain separate Investment Reports for each issue of Local School Bonds.
The Investment Report for each Local Unit shall consist of the investments made with
respect to its Proceeds Account.
B. Rebate Computation on Local Scho91 B0n.d~
VPSA shall compute each Local Unit's Rebate Requirement with respect to its issue of
Local School Bonds in accordance with the procedure described below:
1. As of each Computation Date, VPSA shall cause the Rebate Calculation Agent to
determine the Future Value of all nonpurpose payments made with respect to the Nonpurpose
Inveshnents purchased with or allocated to the Gross Proceeds of the Local School Bonds, as
well as any rebate payments made, to such Computation Date in accordance with the
requirements of the Treasury Regulations. Unless VPSA shall otherwise direct, tran~¢tion costs
incurred in acquiring, carrying, selling or redeeming such obligations, shall be accounted for as
provided in the Information Statement.
2. As of each Computation Date, VPSA shall cause the Rebate Calculation Agent to
determine the Future Value of all nonpurposo receipts received with respect to the Nonpurpose
Investments purchased with or allocated to the Gross Proceeds of the Local School Bonds, as
well as any rebate payments recovered, to such Computation Date in accordance with the
requirements of the Treasury Regulations.
3. As of each Computation Date, VPSA shall subtract the amount computed pursuant
to paragraph 1 from the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 2. Such amount shall be the
'Local Unit Rebate Requirement" as of the Computation Date.
4. Each of the Local Units has covenanted in Section 17 of the Proceeds Agreement not
to charge its general fund or otherwise set aside or earmark funds with which to pay debt service
on its Local School Bonds (other than as a budget item) prior to the date of payment thereof to
VPSA.
5. The Local Unit Rebate Requirement may be treated as being met and no rebate
computation shall be required with respect to the proceeds of the VPSA's Bonds applied to
purchase such Local Unit's Local School Bonds if the VPSA receives the opinions and covenants
BWNY2/254305.3/l$580/00006/1890 September 26, 1995 C-2
or certification described in Section 9(a) of the Proceeds Agreement that a Local Unit meets the
requirements of the (a) Six-Month Exception, (b) Eighteen-Month exception, (c) Small Issuer
Exception, or (d) Two-Year Exception, subject to the provisions described below.
(a) Six-Month Exce_~tion. Notwithstanding the fact that all of the Gross Proceeds
of the Local School Bonds are spent within six (6) months of the date of issue and no
other Gross Proceeds of the Local School Bonds are anticipated for the remainder of the
term of the issue, if Gross Proceeds of the Local School Bonds become available after
the end of the initial six-month period, the Local Unit Rebate Requirement shall be
computed with respect to such Gross Proceeds in accordance with the procedure
de.scribed above.
(b) Eighteen-Month Exception. Notwithstanding the fact that all of the Gross
Proceeds of the Local School Bonds are spent within eighteen (18) months of the date
of issue and no other Gross Proceeds of the Local School Bonds are anticipated for the
remainder of the term of the issue, if Gross Proceeds of the Local School Bonds become
available after the end of the initial eighteen-month period, the Local Unit Rebate
Requirement shall be computed with respect to such Gross Proceeds in accordance with
the procedure described above.
(c) ~. If a I. ocal Unit delivers to VPSA no later than the
end of calendar year 1995 (i) the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that the
Local School Bonds of such Local Unit purchased by VPSA with the proceeds of the
VPSA's Bonds will be treated as meeting the requirements of Code Sections 148 (0(2)
and (3) pursuant to Code Section 148 (f)(4)(D) and (ii) the Local Unit's covenant that it
shall provide for the payment of or reimburse VPSA for its payment of the Local Unit
Rebate Requirement in the event that the Local School Bonds of such Local Unit fail to
meet all the requirements of the Small Issuer Exception, then no rebate computation shall
be made with respect to the proceeds of VPSA's Bonds applied to purchase such Local
School Bonds. Although the Local School Bonds of a Local Unit may qualify for the
Small Issuer Exception, custody, investment and disbursement of the proceeds of the
VPSA's Bonds applied to the purchase of the Local Unit's Local School Bonds shall
continue under the Proceeds Agreement, and the Investment Manager shall continue to
provide an Investment Report for such Local Unit.
6. In addition to the foregoing, no rebate computation shall be required with respect to
the proceeds of the VPSA's Bonds applied to purchase a Local Unit's Local School Bonds if a
Penalty Election has been made on behalf of the Local Unit with respect to such Local School
Bonds.

C. Ag£regate Rebate Computation on Local School Bond~
In the event that the Treasury Regulations require that the Local Units' Rebate
Requirements be calculated in the aggregate, VPSA shall compute the Aggregate Local Units'
Rebate Requirement in accordance with the procedure set forth below.
1. As of each Computation Date, VPSA shall cause the Rebate Calculation Agent to
determine the Future Value of all nonpurpose payments made with respect to the Nonpurpose
Investments purchased with or allocated to the Gross Proceeds of all of the Local School Bonds
in the aggregate (except those qualifying for one of the Rebate Exceptions or those that have
made the Penalty Election), as well as any rebate payments made, to such Computation Date in
accordance with the requirements of the Treasury Regulations.
2. As of each Computation Date, VPSA shall cause the Rebate Calculation Agent to
determine the Future Value of all nonpurpose receipts received with respect to the Nonpurpose
Investments purchased with or allocated to the Gross Proceeds of all of the Local School Bonds
in the aggregate (except those qualifying for one of the Rebate Exceptions or those that have
made the Penalty Election), as well as any rebate receipts recovered, to such Computation Date
in accordance with the requirements of the Treasury Regulations.
3. As of each Computation Date, VPSA shall subtract the amount computed pursuant
to paragraph 1 from the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 2. Such amount shall be the
"Aggregate Local Units' Rebate Requirement" as of the Computation Date.
i. Upon the calculation of thc Local Unit Rebate Requircment for each Local Unit,
VPSA shall notify the Investment Manager thereof. The Investment Manager shall promptly
charge the Principal Subaccount of a Local Unit to the extent the amount on deposit to the credit
of its Income Subaecount is less than its Local Unit Rebate Requirement and credit its Income
Subaccount with an amount such that the balance to the credit of the Income Subaccount is equal
to such Local Unit Rebate Requirement (taking into account prior amounts credited to the
Income Subaecount including investment income thereon). To the extent that the amount on
deposit in the Principal Subaccount is insufficient to provide for a deposit to the Income
Subaecount such that the balance in the Income Subaccount is equal to the Local Unit Rebate
Requirement for the Local Unit, the Investment Manager shall advise VPSA and such Local Unit
of the amount of the deficiency so that the Local Unit may promptly transfer to CFNB the
amount required pursuant to Section 12 of the Proceeds Agreement.
2. In addition to the computation of the Local Units' Rebate Requirement, VPSA shall
calculate its Rebate Requirement with respect to Nonpurpose Investments that were acquired with
the Gross Proceeds of the VPSA's Bonds in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
Rebate Certificate attached as an Exhibit to the Certificate as to Arbitrage executed by VPSA
in connection with the issuance of the VPSA's Bonds.
B~FIY~M~$4305.3118580/O0006/1890 September 26, 1995 C-4
3. The ~ Unit Rebate Requirement for each Local Unit, if a positive number, shall
be paid at the direction of VPSA to the United States in installments. Each payment shall be
made not later than sixty (60) days after each Computation Date. Each payment must be in an
amount not less than the total of ninety percent (90%) of the Local Unit Rebate Requirement for
each Local Unit as of each Installment Computation Date. All of the Local Unit Rebate
Requirement must be paid to the United States within sixty (60) days after the Final Computation
Date. Payment shall be made to the Internal Revenue Service Center, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania 19255 and be accompanied by Form 8038-T. VPSA shall make such payment as
required. Investment Reports and records of the determinations made hereunder shall be
retained by the Investment Manager and by VPSA, resistively, until six (6) years after the
retirement of the last of VPSA's Bonds.
E. Definitions
In addition to the words and terms defined in the Proceeds Agreement to which this
Letter Agreement is attached as Exhibit C, the following words and terms shall have the
following meanings:
'AvailAble Construction Proceeds" shall have the meaning given to such term in Section
2 of the Proceeds Agreement.
'Bond Resolution' shall mean the resolution of the Authority adopted on June 26, 1991,
as amended and supplemented.
"Closing Date' shall have the meaning given to such term in the Proceeds Agreement.
'Code' shall have the meaning given to such term in the Proceeds Agreement.
'Computation Date" shall have the meaning given to such term in the Proceeds
Agreement.
'Eighteen-Month Exception' shall mean the exception, provided by Section 1.148-7(d)
of the Treasury Regulations, to the rebate requirement imposed by Section 148(0(2) of the Code.
'Fair Market Price' shall mean the purchase price and disposition price of a Nonpurpose
Investment. Any Nonpurpose Investment purchased must be purchased at the Fair Market Price.
An investment that is not of a type traded on an established market, within the meaning of
Section 1273 of the Code, is rebuttably presumed to be acquired or disposed of at a price that
is not equal to its fair market value. Accordingly, a premium may not be paid to adjust the
yield on an investment, a lower interest rate than is usually paid may not adjust the yield on an
investment and no transaction may result in a smaller profit or larger loss than would have
resulted if the transaction had been at arm's-length and had the yield with respect to the Bonds
not been relevant to either patty. Pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.148-5(d), the
BWNY2/254305.3/18580/0~006/1890 September 26, 1995
following are safe harbors for establishing the Fair Market Price of certificates of deposit and
guaranteed investment contracts:
(i) 'f~l~lf~l~Jl. A certificate of deposit with a fixed interest rate,
fixed payment schedule and a substantial penalty for early withdrawal will be deemed
purchased for fair market value if the yield on the certificate of deposit is not less than
(i) the yield on reasonably comparable direct obligations of the United States and (ii) the
highest yield published or posted by the provider to be currently available from the
provider on reasonably comparable certificates offered to the public. See Section 1.148-
5(d)(6)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations.
(ii) I~91~3~,gIl~llf~k Investments pursuant to a guaranteed investment
agreement will be regarded as being made at fair market price if (i) the Issuer makes a
bona fide solicitation for a specified guaranteed investment contract; (ii) the Issuer
receives at least three bona fide bids on the inve~hnent contract from providers that have
no material financial interest in the Bonds (including as underwriter); ('fii) the winning
bidder provides a certificate that (A) lists all recipients, amounts and purposes of each
brokerage fee, placement fee, commission or other similar payment to third parties paid
by or on behalf of the winning bidder in connection with the guaranteed investment
contract, (B) states that the yield on the guarant~ investment contract is not less than
the yield available from the provider on reasonably comparable guaranteed investment
contracts offered to other persons from sources of funds other than gross proceeds of
tax-~xempt bonds, and (C) in those agreements wherein the Issuer deposits amounts,
states that the Issuer's reasonably expected draw-down schedule (other than for amounts
deposited in debt service funds or reasonably reqnired reserve or replacement funds) was
a significant factor in the determination of the terms of the guaranteed investment
contract; (iv) the Issuer purchases the highest yielding guaranteed investment contract for
which a qualifying bid was made (determined net of broker's fees); and (v) the terms of
the guaranteed investment contract, including the collateral security requirements, are
reasonable have the same meaning as set forth in the Treasury Regulations.
'Final Computation Date" shall have the meaning given to such term in the Proceeds
Agreement.
"Future Value" of a payment or receipt at the end of any period is determined using the
economic accrual method and equals the value of that payment or receipt when it is paid or
received (or treated as paid or received), plus interest assumed to be earned and compounded
over the period at a rate equal to the Yield on the VPSA's Bonds, using the same compounding
interval and financial conventions used to compute that yield.
"Gross Proceeds' shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 148 of the
Code and shall mean:
(a) amounts actually received or constructively received by VPSA from
the sale of the VPSA's Bonds and the amounts actually or constructively received
by the Local Units from the sale of the Local School Bonds, other than any
BWNy2/254305.3/18550/00006/i$90 September 26, 1995 c-6
interest accruing on the VPSA's Bonds from the dated d~te to the issue date of
such bonds;
Co) mounts treated as Transferred Proceeds (as defined in Treasury
Regulations Section 1.148-9) of the VPSA's Bonds or the Local School Bonds,
if any;
(c) amounts that are reasonably expected to be or are in fact used to pay
debt service on the Bonds including amounts in the sinking fund portion of the
1991 Income Fund under the Bond Resolution and the 1991 Bond Service

Treasury Regulation Section 1.148-5(e) or to the higher yield permitted under
Treasury Regulation Section 1.148-2(d) or Section 143(g) of the Code;
(0 amounts treated as "replacement proceeds' of the VPSA's Bonds or

under the Bond Resolution, or whether the amount is subject to the pledge of the Bond
Resolution.
For purposes of subsection (d) above, an amount is pledged to pay principal or interest
with respect to VPSA's Bonds or Local School Bonds if there is a reasonable assurance that the
amount will be available for such purposes in the event that the VPSA or Local Unit encounters

respect to VPSA's Bonds or Local School Bonds if it is pledged to a guarantor of either or both
such bonds. An amount may be "negatively" pledged to pay principal or interest with respect

of the bonds. An amount is not negatively pledged however if (i) VPSA or the Local Units may
grant rights in the amount that are superior to the rights of the holders of the bonds or a
guarantor of the bonds, or (ii) the amount does not exceed reasonable needs for which it is
maintained, the required level is tested no more frequently than every 6 months, and the amouni
may be ' · · ·
spent w~thout any substantial restriction other than a requirement to replenish the amount
by the next testing date.
If a decision is made to apply any insurance or condemnation proceeds to the redemption
of VPSA's Bonds or Local School Bonds instead of using such proceeds for repair or
replacement, any such proceeds become Gross Proceeds on the date of such a decision.
The definition of Gross Proceeds has been set out in full for the sake of completeness.
With respect to each Local School Bond, all of the Gross Proceeds are on deposit in such Local
Unit's Proceeds Account except to the extent that the ~ School Bonds may be part of a
composite issue under Treasury Regulation §1.150-1(c), or the Local Unit may have retained
Transferred Proceeds. With respect to the VPSA's Bonds, all of its Gross Proceeds are the total
of the amounts on deposit in the Proceeds Accounts of the Local Units, except as provided

Dear Members of Council:
As you will recall, the Roanoke City School Board approved a resolution for the
Roanoke City Public Schools to participate in the 1995 Virginia Public School Authority (VPSA)
bond issue and request the City of Roanoke to issue its general obligation school bonds in an
amount not to exceed $4,400,000.00 for improvements and additions to Wasena Elementary
School and Jackson Middle School. City Council adopted a resolution on September I I
authorizing application to the VPSA and the issuance of general obligation bonds in an amount
not to exceed $4,400,000.00.
In order to meet the timeline established by the VPSA, the Board respectfully requests
City Council to hold a public hearing on October 16, 1995, regarding the issuance of general
obligation bonds.
The Board appreciates Council's assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
ne S. Nolley, CPS

Dear Mr. Herbert:
At a regular meeting of the Council of the City of Roanoke held on Monday, October 16,
1995, Ms. Barbara N. Duerk, a member of the City Planning Commission, advised that in
most instances land which is found to be free and clear following a title search reverts to
adjacent property owners upon approval by Council of street and alley closings. However,
she expressed concern that the City may be giving away valuable land, and suggested that
recommendations be submitted to Council in regard to other alternatives to address the
matter.
Ms. Duerk's remarks were referred to you for appropriate response.
Sincerely,
Mary F. Parker, CMC/AAE
City Clerk
