Snead, Jr., Director, Public Safety FI~DERAL ACTIONS that will IMPACT the CITY of ROANOKE ~J3LgJ~_~5~J33~3~--In October 1986, Congress amended the U. S. Code to allow sharing of federally forfeited property with local law enforcement agencies that participate in investigating and seizure of properties. The United States Department of Justice administers this federally forfeited property sharing program. The funds and other property confiscated in drug related investigations must be used for law enforcement purposes for narcotics investigations. Our city's Police Department has used those resources for investigative equipment, investigative funds and overtime expenses. We would strongly urge our Congressman to continue support for this program as the federally forfeited sharing program is important to our city's anti-drug efforts. Mass Transit-Federal Operating Subsidyreduction FY 95 $954,624 FY 97 $574.147 $380,477 - reduction thus far and have been led to believe that all subsidy will be eliminated by the year 2000. Aimorts - Excise tax, reauthorized last week, generates 1.46 billion dollars to Airport Trust Fund annually, funds AlP program through September 30, 1997. CDBG and HOME Issues - Federal funds have continually decreased in the City of Roanoke. For the 1997-98 program year, there has been a 1.3% decrease in the new CDBG funds and a 2.3 %decrease in new HOME funds. Although these decreased may appear minimal, this year approximately 5 million dollars have been requested for community development and housing programs for the City of Roanoke, of which approximately 3.4 million dollars is available. Other resources are decreasing at the same time, therefore, compounding the problem. Job Trainina -will be reduced in the federal budget. The Fifth District Employment and Training Consortium will be operating with $ 94,649 less for fiscal year 1997-98, than in the current year. This is particularly troublesome when coupled with the recently announced layoffs, resulting in an increase in the number of eligible dislocated workers. (It should also be noted that the implementation of VIEW, Virginia's welfare reform initiative will require additional resources to serve this economically disadvantaged population). Intermodal Su~;t-a~b Transportation Efficiency Act ;ISTEA) - critical reauthorization pending provides for the expansion of 1-81, the construction of 1-73 and a 10% set-aside for enhancement projects - i.e., Greenways. Planninq Assistance to States - Section 22 of the Water Resources Development Act contains reductions in Corps of Engineer's budget jeopardizing city's development of digital mapping system.

WHEREAS, the Rutrough Road Landfill, located in the Mayflower Hills section of Roanoke County, served as the Regional Landfill for Roanoke County, the Town of Vinton and the City of Roanoke for nearly twenty years; WHEREAS, residents of the Mayflower Hills community and the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors have requested the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority (RVRA) to grant up to $100,000 to Roanoke County for the construction of a neighborhood park in the Mayflower Hills section; WHEREAS, RVRA is not authorized to expend funds for this purpose under the Members Use Agreement or the September 27, 1993, Implementation Agreement; WHEREAS, RVRA can make the requested grant only upon consent of the participating jurisdictions, i.e. Roanoke County, the Town of Vinton and the City of Roanoke; WHEREAS, neither the City of Roanoke nor RVRA has any legal obligation as to creating a park in the Mayflower Hills community; and WHEREAS, notwithstanding the City's lack of legal obligation, the City Council desires to concur in such one-time grant by RVRA for the benefit of the Mayflower Hills community; THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Roanoke as follows: 1.

ATTEST: City Clerk. March 3, 1997 Report No. 97-322 Honorable Mayor and City Council Roanoke, Virginia Dear Members of Council: Subject: Authorization for Roanoke Valley Resource Authority to Grant to Roanoke County up to $100,000 One Time Funding for Creation of Mayflower Hills Community Park I. Backqround: no Aqreement dated July 29, 1975 between the City, Roanoke County, and Town of Vinton established the Roanoke Valley Regional Solid Waste Management Board (RVRSWMB) to establish and operate the previous landfill in the Mayflower Hills section of Roanoke County. That landfill ceased to operate on May 14, 1994. Also, that agreement terminated on July 31, 1995. Section ll(b) of the above cited agreement reads as follows: ~When any parcel of land has been fully utilized for landfill purposes, the parties hereto agree that appropriate departments of the various political subdivisions shall be designated to maintain and operate said land as a regional recreational facility or area or any other authorized use for the citizens of all of the then participating parties. Only those political subdivisions that desire to participate shall be required to expend funds for the maintenance and operations of said recreational area". Co The Roanoke Valley Resource Authority (RVRA) was established by the General Assembly on January 10, 1992, after agreement by the City, County, and Town to operate the Smith Gap Landfill. Do Subsequent to creation of the RVRA, the following has occurred: The filled (used) portion of the Mayflower Hills landfill property has been donated to the RVRA along with funding to close the landfill and to create post-closure care. Page II. The unfilled portion of the Mayflower Hills landfill has been leased to the United States Government for the Parkway spur to Explore Park. The filled portion has been closed (covered and seeded) and a landfill gas collection system has partially been installed. Mayflower Hills community citizens have approached the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors to express the community's interest in having a park in their area. The original plans for the development of that landfill contained a rendering of possible future recreation uses once the property had been completely utilized for landfill purposesl The Roanoke County Board of Supervisors or their representatives, have contacted this office (see attached letter dated January 16, 1997, from the Clerk of the Board) and RVRA (see attached letter dated January 27, 1997, from the RVRA Chairman Allen C. Robinson to Mayor Bowers. All communications ask that the RVRA fund up to $100,000 in one time fundinq, throuqh reimbursement to Roanoke County, for creation of a community park in the Mayflower Hills community. Current Situation: A. Citizens of Mayflower Hills believe they were promised a park upon the conclusion of landfill activity in their neighborhood. Bo Neither City, County, or Town expressed an interest in creating and maintaining a park on the previous landfill property. Previous landfill property has since been donated to RVPJt along with funding (and obligation) for closure and post closure care. Unfilled (unused) section of the previous landfill property has been leased to the Federal Government the Blue Ridge Parkway Spur to Explore Park. for E · The RVRA has no legal obligation for creating a park in the Mayflower Hills community. Citizens of the Mayflower Hills section still maintain that the citizens of the three valley governments enjoyed the use of property in their neighborhood for use of a landfill and contend that they were promised a park. Page 3 Ho RVP~A can provide funding for the park by using funds transferred to RVRA by the member jurisdictions for use for closure and post closure activities but only upon consent by the participatinq jurisdictions, namely, the City, County and Town. Roanoke County Administration has assured RVRA that the County will undertake operation and maintenance of the park and no further request of funds will be made of III. Issues: A. Fairness to the Community B. Leqal requirement C. Cost IV. Alternatives: no Roanoke City Council support the request by Roanoke County and the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority (RVRA) by consenting for the RVRA to expend up to $100,000 to reimburse Roanoke County for establishing a park in the Mayflower Hills section of Roanoke County. 1. Fairness to the community will be supported. 2. Leqal requirement does not exist. Cost to the City is zero. RVttA will make the contributions on behalf of the City, County, and Town. Bo Roanoke City Council refrain from consenting for RVP~A to make a contribution by reimbursing Roanoke County for establishment of a park in the Mayflower Hills community. Fairness to the community will not be supported in this endeavor. 2. Leqal requirement does not exist. 3. Cost to the City is zero. Page 4 Recommendation: Roanoke City Council consent for RVRA to make a contribution of up to $100,000 for the creation of a park in the Mayflower Hills section of Roanoke County in accordance with Alternative ~A".

Robert Herbert, Roanoke City Manager B Clayton Goodman, III, Vinton Town Manager ACTION NO. AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA I~'F..LD AT TI:IE. ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER ~ ~Ianuary 14, 1997 ~ Request that the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority fund a neighborhood park in the Mayflower Hills community COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: BACKGROUND: Listed below is a brief background of the issues that led up the this request. A more detailed history is attached (A TT,4 CttMF_,NT A). - Roanoke City recognized the need for a new regional landfill and took the lead ha a search for a site. They looked a~ sites in both the City and County and determined that the most suitable site was land on Rutrough Road, adjacent to the Blue Ridge Parkway. The City also requested road improvements to Rutrough Road. - The residents in the Mayflower Hills neighborhood were strongly opposed to the landfill being located in their community, voiced their opposition and filed suit to stop the landfill. The City hired Thompson and Litton to do engineering work and soils analysis. 1973 - Thompson and Litton presented to the residents in the Mayflower Hills Community a comprehensive plan for a park that would be created after the landfill was closed (dTTACttMENT B). The proposed park would cost between $3 and $4 million in today's dollars. Among the amenities planned for the park were: * ice skating rink * horse stables * extensive recreation fields * Boat dock and marina restaurant, lodge 9 hole par 3 golf course The Roanoke Valley Solid Waste Management Board established 1974.1975 - Roanoke City Council adopted a resolution approving the landfill plans. Roanoke County did not adopt a similar resolution. - an agreement between Roanoke City, Roanoke County, and the Town of Vinton is authorized involving the landfill's ownership. - Plans move forward for Explore ?ark and the Blue Ridge Parkway Spur to be located on the closed landfill. The residents of Mayflower Hills remind the Landfall Board of the promise of a park to be constructed for their community at~er the landfill closes. - The City of Roanoke, the County of Roanoke and the Town of V'mton donate landfill property for construction of Explore Park. SUMMARY O1, INFORMATION: The residents in Mayflower Hills have graciously agreed not to pursue the original plans for an elaborate park in their community as promised, and are instead requesting a much smaller, less expensive, neighborhood park located between the church and the landfill entrance. This will result in substantial savings to the localities involved in the old landfill and the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority who governs the new landfill. Explore Park has agreed to designate or donate land for such a park and has assisted in locating a suitable site on Explore land. A site has been identified on the former ACRES/Payne Farm. Staff discussed this situation with the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority in 1994. County staff worked with the neighborhood to develop a consensus of elements for the neighborhood park, They include:- * multi-use ballfield with backstop * kiddie toys/swings * picnic shelter with a water fountain, tables * restrooms and grill area; security lighting * a haft court basketball play area with one or two hoops la comparison to the original commitment to the residents in Mayflower Hills, construction costs for a smaller neighborhood park is estimated at $80,000 to $100,000 instead of $3 to $4 million dollars for the original park envisioned in the 1970's. A rough layout drawn by a resident, with community comments and ~howing some of the key elements is attached (ATTACt'13,tF_,NT C). Roanoke County supports the request of the Mayflower Hills neighborhood and has taken the lead in requesting that the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority agree to fund this park. The neighborhood is located in Roanoke County and we should ~llfil the commitment made to them over 20 years ago when the Rutrough Road landfill was constructed. None. The attached resolution recommends that funds for this project be authorized from funds set aside by the authority to close out the Rutrough Road landfill. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staffrecommends that the participating localities in the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority honor the commitment made to the residents of Mayflower Ir. fils when the old landfill was sited to construct a park after the landfill was closed. Staff'therefore requests the following: 1.) The Board of Supervisors adopt the attached resolution to the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority requesting funding of the Mayflower Hills neighborhood park, and 2.) The Board authorize County staffto deliver the resolution to the Resource Authority at its next scheduled meeting to provide background information and clarification.

Landfill selection committee is appointed to participate in determining a site for a regional landfill facility in southeast area. A site is identified that is located adjacent to Blue Ridge Parkway and Roanoke River in Roanoke County. This particular site is a location where neighborhood children were allowed, by the owner, to play for many years. Improvements to Rutrough Road recommended (City Resolution #20578). County Board requested Vir~nia Department of Highways to improve Ruttough Road (2.6 miles). Citizens in the Mayflower Fiills neighborhood continue to voice opposition IlLLalrO_fi!l in their area, file suit to attempt to stop siting of landfill. Cecil Bollinge~s name is mentioned in County Board minutes as a citizen representative against the landfill~ and Charles Osterhoudt's name is mentioned as representing the Mayflower Civic Club. Citizens learn of elaborate plans to create a large park at a presentation. Park to include: ice skating rink, horse stables, extensive recreation fields, boat dock and marina, restaurant, lodge, 9 hole par 3 golf course and other features after landfill closes (closure estimated to be 20 years after opening). Plan dated Sept. 1973, Sheet 18 of Roanoke Valley Regional Landfill by Thompson and Litton. Residents recall meetings in their homes and neighborhood regarding the parJi._There was a commitment to give something back to the neighborhood after the landfill closed. One family moved away for a number of years and returned to their home close to the time of the la~dfilYs closing to enjoy the amenities, i.e. boat dock and marine, of the park. The Roanoke Valley Solid Waste Management Board was established. Land is purchased for landfill (Ordinance #21141/38-434). 1974: 1975; 1985: 1987: 1988: 1990: 1992: 1993: City. Council. by Resolution 21602. dated 17th day of June. 1974. approves ~ plans dated September 1973, as amended (dealing with method of operations). A three-party a_m-eement between Roanoke City.. Roanoke County_ and the Town of Vinton is authorized among the three governments involved in the landfill's ownership. l~a the early stages of a community, planning process for Explore Park. ~ome citizens mention that a park is planned on the landfill when it closes, giving the impression that the park was in return for the landfill having been located there. A copy of the plan is produced by a citizen. (Some similarities identified between Explore's first concept for planning on the landfill and features found in the 1973 landfill recreation plan.) Blue Ridge Parkway Spur is authorized as a demonstration project by Congress in the 1985 Highway Bill, known as the Roanoke River Parkway in the Federal Highway Surface Transportation Act of 1985. After several years of study and environmental assessment, the location of thc Parkway Spur is determined to be the nnfilled area of the Roanoke Regional Landfill, City. County_ and Town begin talking about landfill expansion and possibility of using area A, formerly reserved for protection as a watershed. Roanoke County. begins landfill siting process for new landfill through the assistance of residents from the county. Plans for the Parkway Spur and its coordination result in several meetin_os held by Federal Highway Administration regarding the life expectancy of the landfill and closure plans. It is learned that construction of the Parkway will be delayed at an open house on the final environmental impact statement for the Parkway Spur. No construction will be~n until 1994 when the Spur was to be completed. In a commnnity meeting with Mayflower Hills residents, the dilemma of the delayed construction schedule for the Parkway Spur generates discussion about possible use of Rutrough Road, the need for road improvements and the necessity of a temporary Parkway Spur. The neighbors also ask what the Landfill Board and area governments are going to do about the i~eighborhood park they were promised would be there after the landfill l:losed. 1994: The community_ meets two more times with Roanoke County_ r~preaentatives~ and guests from the Landfill Board and Virginia Department of Transportation on the road widening. Several property owners donate right-of-way to see the project completed. Citizens are given reassurance that closure and post-closure care will be completed in a 6mely, efficient manner and that ground water will continue to be monitored. Citizens ask about the neighborhood park. A separate meeting is held on the neighborhood park. Parks and Recreation are asked about the park, what it might cost (at least $60,000 without land costs) and about basic elements. They perceive it to be like a Bonsack Park. Some discussion takes place with the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority, no commitment, many other issues are before this one, i.e. closure, parkway alig~ment.,'f~l material, deeds/management of the filled/unfilled portions. Citizens provide the parameters for the neighborhood park. No longer do they expect the elaborate landfill park plan, rather they would like a small park located between the church and the landfill entrance. They would like a park with playground equipment, picnic shelter and tables, a standard ballfield with backstop, room for parking and optional rest rooms and tennis court ("like Mt. Pleasant School"). The citizens did not, at first, want the park to be managed and maintained by Roanoke County where it would be located, but reconsidered the idea when liability issues arose. Citizens designed park and its elements. 1995: (~itizens continue to ask about the park, where it will be, if it will be. Related facts and issues: · The landfill is no longer a suitable location for the neighborhood park. · Explore is willing to donate land for the park. Land identified within the parameters is too steep, too far offthe main road or too close to the church. · Expectations continue. · Citizens are still willing to work to design park. · Cost and source of funds is not yet determined. Residents hope to cash in 23.year-old pledgp e~dured decades of landfill traffic, he believed his patience would pay off with a park, Aa Charles ROANOKE COUNT~ PROMISE on the Roanoke River, a restaurantl a to convert a landfill into a nine-hole golf course, tennis courts and a nature trail. JANEL RHOOA Staff community park was never put down onpaper, i/13/~? By CHRISTINA NUCKOLS STAFF WRITER Charles Greer smoothed the wrinkles from a 23-year-old blueprint spread across his kitchen table. The plan showed an elaborate regional park complete with an ice skat- ing rink, horse stables and a show ring, baseball fields, a boat dock and marina Pledge FROM PAGE C1 the first sign of a park. The Roanoke County Board of Supervisors will revisit the issue at its meeting Tuesday. The queslion of what to do about the broken promise has been raised and dropped with regularity in recent years. This time, Greet is optimistic that something will be accom- plished. However, the big questions -- who will pay for it and how much it will cost -- remain unanswered. Before the land was sold for the landfill, farmer M.S. Thomas per- mitted neighborhood children -- including young Greet -- to play ball in one of his fields. Losing a ball field was the least of the neighbors' wonies when the landfill arrived. They didn't want garbage trucks trundling up and down Rutrough Road, which had been rerouted, creating a dangerous curve when an ovelpass was con- structed for the Blue Ridge Park- way. They also worried that the landfill would etd'act ilIegal dump- ing along the road -- a fear that proved to be legitimate. "It seems like we've gotten the tail end of everything ever sil~e I've lived out here," said Greet. a resi- dent since the 1940s. "It was rough. We sacrificed a lot, I couldn't back out of the driveway on account of the trucks. The neighborhood really paid for the landfill." In return, the community was promised a park, but that promise was never part of a contract. Charles Osterhouth, the attor- ney who represented Rutrough Road residents in a lawsuit to hal the landfill that went all the way to the Virginia Supreme Court, said part of the problem was that conditions zoning did not exist in the s~are in the 1970s. The plans for the park could not be made a requirement of the rezoning for the landfill. Still. Osterhoudt said city and county officials were specific enough about - the park to create a moral obligatiou. "There. definitely were specific representa,ons made by officials about the use of the land after the landfill was gone," he said. "Failure lo deliver a park out there would be a breach of public trust in my humble opinion." People living on Rutrough Road said they have always been skeptical about the promised park. "No government facility ever carries through on their promises unless you hold them to Iht grind- stone, and you have to get real nasty about it and kick up your heels," said Cecil Bollinger, who was president of the Mayflower Civic Club in the "We were asking the same questions 20 years ago," added Donald Leffell. "'What kind of money has been set aside for this?' The best answer we could get was 'It is proposed.'" Local residents believe the obi - gallon for the park Passed from the Roanoke Valley Solid Waste Man- agement Board, which opera,ed the Greer first saw the plan in 1973. City and county officials' search for a new landfill had zeroed in on a farm on Rutrough Road. He and his neighbors in the adjacent Mayflower Hills neighbor- hood were hon~fied. The plan was produced at a meeting to show the community what would be done with the property once the landfill was closed. The last load of garbage was dumped there nearly three yeah ago. but Greet and his neighbors have ye~ to~ s.e~ PLEASE SEE PLED~IE/C4 }hole i~:edsd°a~y will see new plans: for a scaled-down park and discuss how it can be accomplished .... Like his constituents, N ckens be eves the estimated $100,Q00 fort the park should come from thel resource authority.

ATTEST: City Clerk. March 3, 1997 Council Report iq 97-403 Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor and Members of City Council Roanoke, Virginia Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of Council: Subject: Public Safety Departmental Supplemental Funding Request: I. Background: Ao Fire and EMS Department - On August 27, 1996, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel were shifted to the department's 24-hour shifts (56 hour dutyweek). This change was made to enhance overall department service levels. By utilizing the 56 hour per week assignment, personnel provide an additional 11 hours on the job each week without overtime. Pay upgrades of EMS personnel to include firefighting activities were also completed. Communications Department - Communications personnel are mandated to received annual training in CPR, Virginia Criminal Information Network (VCIN), Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD) re-certification, and attend various City sponsored staff training and meetings. This training is required to enhance and maintain the service level provided to those in need of emergency services. Iio Current Situation is: Fire - EMS expenditures will exceed budgeted amounts by year end as a result of: Placing EMS personnel on 24-hour shifts ($ 88.138~. These costs provide for FLSA mandated overtime. The FLSA allows a 53 hour per week schedule with half-time overtime paid for hours above 53. Fire and EMS uses a 56 hour per week schedule. Additional costs are three pay grade 8 (EMT) to grade 11 Firefighter/Paramedic upgrades, and nine pay grade 8 (EMT) to grade 10 Firefighter/EMT upgrades. Honorable Mayor and City Council Council Report # 97-403 Page 2 Overtime for EMS coverage during regularly scheduled leave and fire academy training ($ 49.000). EMS ambulance staffing requires a minimum of an EMT and Paramedic. With five (5) full-time staffed ambulances and thirty (30) personnel employed in EMS, overtime is necessary to maintain staffing during periods of leave, or during on-duty training, such as the fire academy. Communications expenditures will exceed budgeted amounts by year end as a result of: Emergency Dispatcher overtime ($ 28.000). Dispatchers are required to maintain their certification as an EMD, which requires fill-in personnel during classes. Additional training requirements such as CPR certification and VCIN training have required additional overtime which was not funded in the current budget. Co R~ by both departments, in excess of current estimates, are available to cover these costs. III. Issues in order of importance are as follows: A. Public Safety B. Legal C. Customer Service D. Funding IV. Alternatives in order of feasibility are: Ao CRV Council approve an increase in the revenue estimate for EMS billings to cover the Fire - EMS costs, and auurove an increase in the revenue estimate of the E-911 Telephone Surcharge Tax to cover Communications costs. Public Safety proper staffing levels are maintained for city-wide ambulance services and handling of emergency telephone calls. Honorable Mayor and City Council Council Report It 97-403 Page 3 Legal issues involving meeting Fair Labor Standards Act mandate for Fire - EMS overtime pay and state guidelines for Emergency Dispatcher training are resolved. C, ll,~/ffiffi~j~ is enhanced through fire suppression training for EMS personnel, and competent handling of emergency telephone calls will be maintained. Fundin2 is available from higher than anticipated revenues from EMS billings and the E-911 Telephone Surcharge Tax. City Council NOT authorize the increase in the revenue estimate for EMS billings to cover Fire - EMS costs, and NOT authorize the increase in the revenue estimate for the E-911 Telephone Surcharge Tax to cover Communications costs. Public Safety would be compromised as EMS personnel assigned to fire calls would not have the proper training required to provide fire suppression services, and Emergency Dispatchers would not receive proper training to competently handle emergency calls. Legally, the City would be in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act mandating 3 hours of half-time overtime pay for the fifty-six (56) hour work week (53 hour workweek maximum allowed without overtime), and state guidelines for Emergency Dispatcher training would not be met. Customer Service would be compromised by not maintaining high quality levels of advanced training for EMS personnel and the lack of adequate training for Emergency Dispatchers. 4. Fundin2 increase in revenue estimates not required. Honorable Mayor and City Council Page 4 Council Report # 97-403 RECO~VI1VIENDATION.'

BackQround and Current Situation: The Roanoke City Office on Youth (OOY) submitted a grant application to the State Department of Criminal Justice Services, for funds from program titled: "Look and Listen Delinquency Prevention Communications Program". "Look and Listen" Delinouency Prevention Communications Progra,~, is a comprehensive public awareness communication program designed to educate and bring awareness to our community of recent changes in the Code of Virginia (Juvenile & Welfare Reform) impacting juveniles and their families. The program will also impact public awareness of the consequences of delinquent behaviors/acts. The Office on Youth will be the lead agency with support from a volunteer committee composed of youth, interested citizens and representatives of private/public sector from the community. As part of the grant application process, the volunteers submitted letters of commitment to assist The Office on Youth with the design/implementation of the program. Letters of Commitment were received from the following individuals: Thomas H. Miller, Chairman (Youth Service Citizens Board); Melinda Payne, Citizen; Wanda Cofer, Youth Member; James D. Riddle, Citizen; LT James Dean, Youth Bureau; Ruth Willson, President (Roanoke City Central Council P.T.A.); Ann Harman, Executive for Student Services and Alternative Program; Honorable Philip Trompeter, Chairman (Roanoke Valley Drug & Alcohol Abuse Council); Angie McPeak, Roanoke Valley Television, Education Access Channel; Nancy Patterson, City School Director; Jack Trent, Youth Haven Manager; Gary Conway, Courts Service Unit 23-A Director; Virginia Hardin, Blue Ridge Community Services, Prevention Plus; Jack Liddy, Co-Chairman, Council Report #97-579 March 3, 1997 Page 2 Roanoke Area Youth Substance Abuse Coalition; and Sara Holland, Director (This Valley Works). Activities of the proaram will include, but not be limited to: · Youth will develop and act out plays which dramatize the dangers of violence and delinquency; · A minimum of two public service announcements will be developed and aired by regional television and radio stations; · Design of a public awareness message to be placed on a billboard; · Existing Speakers Bureau participants will receive training in how to infuse information into their presentations on delinquency and violence prevention, positive youth development and factual information regarding the recently enacted changes to the Juvenile Code; A series of articles regarding personal responsibility and responsible citizenship, positive youth development, prevention strategies and recent Code changes will be written and widely distributed through local newspapers, newsletters, through agency and private sector mailing lists and information distribution networks and on the City of Roanoke's web site; Public Education posters packets and flyers will be posted and distributed throughout the region at places where youth (especially high risk youth) congregate and where youth, parents and other citizens (who are project stakeholders) work, worship, shop and go to school. In December 1996, the Office on Youth, via the City Manger's Office, received official notification of application approval by the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Title V in the amount of $20,000 and $10,000 in-kind services match for a total of $30,000. The $10,000 in-kind service match is based on rate of pay from the volunteers which was submitted as part of the grant application. No local money is required for acceptance of this grant.

ATTEST: City Clerk. March 3, 1997 Report #97-584 Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Roanoke, VA Dear Mayor and Members of Council: SUBJECT: APPROPRIATION OF COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES ACT SUPPLEMENTAL ALLOCATION FUNDS I. BACKGROUND Comprehensive Services Act (CSA) for At-Risk Youth and Families established effective July 1, 1993, is a pool of state funds to be expended for public or private non-residential or residential services for the targeted population of at-risk youth and their families. CSA defines the mandated target population to be served as: Children/youth placed for the purposes of special education in approved private school educational programs; Handicapped children/youth are placed by local Social Service agencies or the Department of Juvenile Justice in: 2. 3. 4. private residential facilities private, special day schools foster homes child-caring facilities · Children foster care services are provided to: prevent foster care placements children entrusted to Social Service agencies by their parents or guardians children committed to agencies by any court Tarqeted, but non-mandated, groups of children/youth who can receive services through the CSA are: Children placed by a juvenile and domestic relations court, in a private or locally operated public facility or non-residential program, and Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Page 2 March 3, 1997 Children committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice and placed by it in a private home or in a public or private facility. Fundinq formula used for computing the FY base allocation includes: (Attachment A) statistics of the locality's total youth population; 2. food stamp recipients in households; founded and reason to suspect child protective services complaints; the number of seriously emotionally disturbed or learning disabled children; and 5. Juvenile Court intake complaints Supplemental allocation funds cannot be requested from the state until there is documented imminent need of funds. June 17, 1996, City Council appropriated $722,543 as a FY 95-96 supplemental allocation. The Comprehensive Services Act (CSA) State Funds Pool allocation for Roanoke City for July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997 is: State Funds *Required Local Match $3,920,041 1,850,242 CURRENT BUDGETED FUNDS $5,770,283 *Projected School Share: *Projected City Share: $429,256 $1,420,986 Comprehensive Services Act (CSA) Administrative funds expenditures include: salaries and fringe benefits for the CSA Administrator and for the CSA Family Assessment and Planning Coordinator; and CSA administrative expenses. II. CURRENT SITUATION Mandated services cost for the targeted at-risk youth and their families was under funded by $2,131,475 state and local funds for FY 1997. The emotional and behavior demographics of this population reflect a Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Page 3 March 3, 1997 progressive increase during FY 1997 in the number of children/youth who have the more severe types of dysfunction and many of whom have multiple dysfunctions. The needs of this population requires the more expensive therapeutic community interventions and out-of-community residential placements. These placements have longer lengths of time to affect stabilization in order to place the youth in a less restrictive environment. State Funds Required Local Cash Match Additional Supplemental Funds $1,578,571 552,904 $2,131,475 Roanoke City is required to provide a local cash match of 25.94% or $552,904. Strateqies are in place to stabilize or reduce the placement cost growth. These include the following: A multi-aqency three phase review process to develop initial placement plan Review of all out-of-community placements to transfer youth to less restrictive and costly placements as indicated by progress. Curtailed approval of cases in the non-mandated category. Total fundinq for administrative costs for the CSA for July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997 is as follows: State Funds $18,510 Required City Local Match 6,490 Roanoke City Schools 13,875 Additional local funding 41,510 $80,385 State funds of $18,080 have already been appropriated for FY 1997. However, the city actually received $18,510. Therefore, $430 needs to be appropriated into CSA administrative account #001-054-5411-1002. School fundinq of $13,87q needs to be appropriated into the CSA administrative account 001-054-5411- 1002. City local cash match of $6,920 needs to be transferred to this account. Additional local Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council PaGe 4 March 3, 1997 III. ISSUES: fundinG of $41,510 for CSA administrative expenditures needs to be appropriated in the Grant fund account #035-054-5157-1002. A. Funding B. Legal IV. ALTERNATIVES: City Council authorize the Director of Finance to increase the CSA revenue estimate by $1,578,571 and appropriate that amount to the CSA account in the General Fund. $552,904 is the local cash match for a total of $2,131,475. Authorize the appropriation of additional local funds for CSA administrative costs for FY 1997. 001-054-5411-1002 035-054-5157-1002 TOTAL $ 6,490 41,510 $48,000 Appropriate the schools' allocation for CSA Administration of $13,875 and $430 in additional revenues to account #001-054-5411-1002. state Funding of $1,578,571 in additional program costs will be provided by the State Department of Education, fiscal agent for the CSA State Funds Pool. Local cash match of $552,904 plus $48,000 for administrative costs are recommended from the followinG listed accounts: a. Increase revenue estimates: (i) Personal Property Taxeg exceeded the estimate for fiscal year 1996 by a significant margin. The fiscal year 1997 budget had already been adopted prior to the payment date for fiscal year 1996 personal property taxes. The fiscal year 1997 budget may now be adjusted to reflect the higher than expected Growth in fiscal year 1996 and Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council page 5 March 3, 1997 Bo its impact on fiscal year 1997 as follows: Personal Property Taxes 001-020-1234-0230 $457,852 (2) Department of Social Services Cost Allocation Plan account #001-020-1234- 0690: $31,469.

Variances in specific categories of revenue are as follows: General Property Taxes are up .54% or $114,000 due to an increase in real estate tax revenues, offset by decreases in personal property and public service tax revenues. The second half of real estate taxes, due April 1, 1997, and personal property taxes, due May 31, 1997, are anticipated to increase general property tax revenues to the adopted estimate increase of 3.78%. Other Local Taxes have decreased $357,000 or 1.73%. Sales tax revenues are up 4.64%, adding $350,000 to revenues, while electric service utility tax and business license taxes have declined in the current year. Prepared food and beverage taxes have risen, while franchise taxes have declined by approximately the same amount. Permits, Fees and Licenses are up 13.62% or $49,000 due to increased revenues from building inspections and street opening pemdts. Street opening permits have nearly doubled since FY96 due to a more stringent enforcement of the requirements to obtain such permits. Fines and Forfeitures increased $76,000 or 14.45% due to increases in all categories of court fines. This is attributable to increases in several traffic fines and a more aggressive collection approach. Revenue from the Use of Money and Property decreased $186,000 or 27.60% due to a decline in interest earnings. This decrease has resulted fi.om a reduction in the General Fund's cash balances which occurred when the new Risk Management Internal Service Fund was established July 1. The Risk Management function was previously part of the General Fund. Honorable Mayor and Members Roanoke City Council March 3, 1997 Page 2 Grant,-in-Aid Commonwealth have increased $1,567,000 or 10.46%. Revenue from shared expenses has grown by $535,000 due to increased revenue for the Sheriff's department which has more employees in FY97 as a result of the City Jail expansion. Revenue from the Jail Block grant has likewise increased. Welfare related revenues have risen by $296,000 due to increased revenue through the Comprehensive Services Act offset by a decrease caused by the receipt of January's wire payment from the Commonwealth in February of the current year versus January of 1996. Revenue from the Virginia Juvenile Community Crime Control Act has also produced an additional $220,000 in the current year. Grants-in-Aid-Federal Government are up about $19,000 due to higher FEMA payments this year. Miscellaneous Revenue has increased $56,000 or 39.03% due to increased revenues from the sale of surplus property coupled with other miscellaneous revenue collections. EXPENDITURES AND ENCUMBRANCES Expenditures and encumbrances in the General Fund have increased 3.64% or $3,251,000 since FY96. Variances in individual expenditure categories are discussed as follows: Health and Welfare expenditures have increased $1,715,000 or 17.86%. Cultural and Human Services contributions have increased by over $350,000, mostly because some contributions previously included in the Parks, Recreation and Cultural category are now in Health and Welfare. As such, the contributions to the Cemer in the Square, the Virginia Museum of Transportation, Harrison Cultural Center, and Virginia Amateur Sports, Inc. are now in this category. Social Services costs have risen due to increased personnel costs, higher CIS charges, and increased foster care, daycare, and subsidized adoption expenditures. CSA expenditures have risen by $828,000, continuing the trend exhibited over the past year of increased children in the program and more at very expensive facilities due to the high level of supervised care they require. Nondepartmental expenditures have decreased $674,000 or $13.99% due to decreased transfers to other funds and decreased funding for the Pension Plan. The transfers to the Fleet Management and City Information Systems Funds have decreased. Transfers vary from year to year based on the adopted budget or budget ordinance amendments. The funding for the cost-of-living increases in the Pension Plan also varies from year to year. In FY97, funding is being provided entirely through departmental contributions, whereas in FY96, $195,000 was a nondepartmental transfer. I would be pleased to answer any questions which City Council may have regarding the monthly financial statements.

Alternatives in order of feasibility are: Water Resources Committee recommends that City Council authorize the purchase of the property at 502 Church Avenue, Tax Map No. 1113419, for the amount of $121,000. 1. Need of the requested property is for the Employee/Jefferson Center Parking Project. 2. Timing is critical to allow for the acquisition of the property which is currently available at a fair price· Funding is available in Employee Parking Capital Account 008- 056-9698-9003 to provide for the acquisition of the property. Additional funding is available from the sale of 1996 public improvement bonds (Employee Parking Account 008-052-9701- 9192) and will need to be appropriated at a later time for paving, lighting and landscaping. Water Resources Committee does not r~(;ommend that City Council authorize the purchase of the property at 502 Church Avenue, Tax Map No. 1113419, for the amount of $121.000. Need for the acquisition of property for the Employee/Jefferson Center Parking Project would continue to exist. 2. Timing would not be a factor in this alternative.

Background in chronological order is as follows: mo Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a Special Order with the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) on August 10, 1992 (Attachment 1). Conditions of the Special Order are to reduce Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) which causes high flows at the treatment plant. Identified reduction projects are submitted to the DEQ by all contributing jurisdictions and updated annually. DEQ has proposed amendments to the existing Special Order to allow for effluent limits based on 42 Million Gallons per Day (MGD). This is due to permit violations with existing effluent limits based on 35 MGD (Attachment 2). Do Amended Special Order will prevent further enforcement action by the DEQ and allow more flexibility for permit compliance, i.e. relaxed discharge limits that are based on the 42 MGD flow. Page 2 II. Current situation is as follows: A. Aggressive action by the City and its partners, namely, Botetourt County, Roanoke County, City of Salem and the Town of Vinton, has resulted in significant progress in correcting I&I. This has been acknowledged by the Regional DEQ Office. B. DEQ has written the amended Special Order to allow for interim effluent limits to operate at 42 MGD (Attachment 2). C. Agreement to have expanded the Sewage Treatment Plant by December 31, 2000, is a condition of the Special Order. III. Issues in order of importance are as follows: A. Compliance B. Need C. Benefit D. Funding Alternatives in order of feasibility are as follows: A. Council authorize the City Manager to sign the amended Special Order as proposed by the DEQ. 1. Compliance of effluent limits will be more achievable at high plant flows. We must have expanded the Sewage Treatment Plant by December 31, 2000. (This requirement is achievable). 2. Need to protect the City from further enforcement action from the DEQ will be met. 3. Benefit will be derived by effluent limits based on 42 MGD as opposed to 35 MGD. IV. Page 3 4. Funding is not necessary. B. Council not authorize the City Manager to sign the amended Special Order as proposed by the DEQ. 1. Compliance with effluent limits may not be consistently achievable at high plant flows. 2. Need to protect the City from further enforcement action will not be met. 3. Benefit will not be derived from effluent limits based on 42 MGD as opposed to 35 MGD. 4. Funding is a moot issue. Water Resources Committee's recommendation is as follows: City Council concur with Alternative "A" and authorize the City Manager to sign the proposed Special Order by the DEQ to prevent further enforcement action and enhance permit compliance.

Roanoke owns and operates a wastewater treatment facility known as the Roanoke Regional Sewage Treatment Plant. The Roanoke Regional Sewage Treatment Plant discharges treated effluent to the Roanoke River which is in the Roanoke River Basin. The wastewater treatment facility is the subject of VPDES Permit No. VA0025020 (the "Permit") which was issued to Roanoke by the Board effective February 2, 1989. The Roanoke Regional Sewage Treatment Plant exceeded its permitted discharge of 35 MGD for 3 consecutive months thereby violating Section 4.1 of the Board's Permit Regulation. To address the inflow and infiltration (the "I&I") which has resulted in the excessive flows, a Consent Special Order was issued to Roanoke on October 3, 1990 which required compliance with a schedule for I&I reduction. Roanoke substantially complied with the requirements of the October 3, 1990 Consent Special Order, however, influent flows to the Roanoke Regional Sewage Treatment Plant still periodically exceed 95% of its design capacity. Overflows from the sewer collection system due to I&I have also been reported. In order to insure that Roanoke continues to address its excessive flows in an appropriate manner, the Board orders and Roanoke agrees to comply with the schedule of corrective actions in Appendix A attached hereto. City of Roanoke Consent Special Order Page 2 Additionally the Board has evidence that Roanoke has violated the terms and conditions of VPDES permit No. VA0025020 as documented by the following Notices of Violation (NOrs): Notice of Violation ~91-05-WCRO-O16 was issued May 23, 1991 citing the following violations at the Roanoke Regional Sewage Treatment Plant which occurred on January 15, 1991 and prior; Permit violation and violation of EPA Administrative Order: Failure to initiate local enforcement action in pretreatment program.

Henderson Regional Director STATE WATER CONTROL BOARD ~NFORCEME~T ACTION AN AMENDMENT TO A SPECIAL ORDER ISSUED TO CITY OF ROANOKE ROANOKE REGIONAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL PLANT VA0025020 This is an Amendment (the "Amendment") to the Special Order (the "Order") issued on August 10, 1992, by the State Water Control Board (referred to below as "the Board") to the City of Roanoke (the "City") under the authority of Sections 62.1-44.15(8a) and 10.1-1185 of the Code of Virginia. Under the existing Order, the City in cooperation with Botetourt County, Roanoke County, the City of Salem, and the Town of Vinton has achieved significant progress in correcting problems with inflow and infiltration ("I/I"). However, excessive inflows to the Roanoke Regional Water Pollution Control Plant (the "Plant") still occur during significant storm events and have resulted in repeated violations of effluent limits for total suspended solids, 5-day biochemical oxygen demand, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, and phosphorus in the period from April 1996 through September 1996. The City has since taken steps to improve the quality of its effluent by replacing and rebuilding the tertiary filters of the Plant. The City has also agreed to upgrade and expand the Plant. The City's VPDES Permit No. VA0025020 establishes two sets of final effluent limits at an average flow of 35 MGD and 42 MGD. The limits at the higher flow were derived by holding loading limits constant and recomputing concentration limits. Roanoke has thus far operated under the 35 MGD limits but now seeks to go to the 42 MGD capacity provided in the Permit. However, Roanoke seeks relief from certain Permit limits, asserting that the sewerage impr6vements agreed to in the Order are eliminating overflows of untreated wastes, thereby limiting discharges of sufficient phosphorus, nitrogen, biochemical Oxygen demand, and total suspended solids as to give a net effect of no increase or a decrease in amounts reaching the Roanoke River and Smith Mountain Lake. In support of this assertion, Roanoke undertook a study (the Protocol study) of major overflows which are being eliminated by sewer improvements, and the West Central Regional Office has accepted the results of this study as validating the effect of no net increase of nutrients to the Roanoke River for the future 62 MGD plant. The purpose of this Amendment is to provide the City with interim effluent limits to operate at 42 MGD while the facility is being upgraded. The Board and Roanoke understand and agree that the interim effluent limits are based on the principle of no net increase of pollutant loadings, including phosphorus, to the Roanoke River. This no net increase approach is expected to provide continued protection for water quality in the Roanoke River and Smith Mountain Lake. In order to come into compliance with its VPDES permit and the State Water Control Law, the Board orders the City, and the City voluntarily agrees, to comply with the interim effluent limits in the attached Appendix C of the Amendment. The Board orders the City, and the City voluntarily agrees, to complete the plant upgrade in accordance with the schedule in the attached Appendix D of this Amendment. Appendices A and B of the Order remain in effect. Both the Board and the City understand and agree that this amendment does not alter, modify, or amend any other provision of the Order, VPDES permit no. VA0025020, or the City's obligation to operate its treatment works to produce the highest possible quality effluent. This Amendment shall become effective upon the date of its execution by the Executive Director of the Department of Environmental Quality or his designee, and the Order and the Amendment shall expire upon the reissuance of VPDES permit no. VA0025020 or upon the completion of the schedule in Appendix D, whichever comes first. The City agrees to be bound by any compliance dates which may predate the effective date of this Amendment. And it is SO ORDERED this __ day of 199__. STATE WATER CONTROL BOARD Thomas L. Hopkins Director The terms and conditions of the Order are voluntarily accepted by the City of Roanoke.

Bowers, Mayor and Members of Roanoke City Council Roanoke, Virginia Dear Members of Council: Subject: Proposed amendment to Section 36.1-25. Definitions. of the Code of the City of Roanoke (1979), as amended. Purpose of the proposed amendment is to exclude parking lots and paved driveways from the definition of"lot coverage" in the City's zoning ordinance. Parkin~ lots and paved driveways are presently considered "structures" in accordance with the definition of "structure" in the zoning ordinance. Inclusion of t~arking lots and paved ~lriwways in calculating lot coverage severely limits development on small lots, especially with regard to commercial development. Provisions for open space and placement of proposed structures is adequately addressed by existing requirements in the zoning ordinance regulating setbacks and side yards, buffering and open space. Planning Commission public hearing was held on Wednesday, January 8, 1997. Mr. Maflles gave the staffreport, recommending that the paved driveways and parking lots should not be used in calculating lot coverage. He said that inclusion of driveways and parking lots would unreasonably restrict development on smaller lots within the City. He said that staff recommended approval of the proposed amendment. He also mentioned that the amendment would have no effect on the percentage of open space or landscaping that is required. After presentation by staffand discussion by the Commission, the floor was opened for comments from the audience. There were none. Room162 MunicipalBuilding 215ChurchAvenue, S.W.

ATTEST: City Clerk. March 3, 1997 Council Report No. 97-125 Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor and Members of City Council Roanoke, Virginia Dear Mayor and Council Members: Subject: Snow Emergency Operations - December, 1996, January 1997, and February 1997 I. Background: Snow and ice storms occurred in the Roanoke Valley on December 5, 18, 23, 1996, January 8, 23, 1997 and February 7, 12, 1997. These storms deposited nearly 17 inches of frozen participation at the Roanoke Regional Airport. The 1996-97 Budget included $96,449 for snow removal from the City streets and rights-of-way, for overtime salaries, supplies, and chemicals. Other operating accounts are used for regular salary and equipment costs. II. Current situation: A. City employees have returned to their regular duties at this time. Approximately 3,852 hours of regular time and 4,411 hours of overtime were expended plowing and spreading chemicals on streets, keeping equipment in service, etc. The salary cost to date has been approximately $105,581. City equipment was operated for 5,205 hours. The cost of fuel, parts, and supplies to date is in excess of $13,000. 2,650 tons of rock salt was spread on streets and bridges. The value of this product is approximately $128,525. Total cost to the City for snow and ice removal efforts to date has been approximately $247,106. March 3, 1997 Council Report No. 97-125 Page 2 Issues in order of importance are: A. Bud~,etarv Impact B. Funding C. Timing Alternatives: A. City Council authorize the transfer of $89,348 to the Snow Removal Budget. Budeetary Impact is as follows: a. $43,060 was budgeted for overtime wages and FICA and approximately $70,314 has been expended. $43,000 was budgeted for Chemicals and approximately $100,592 has been or will be expended replenishing rock salt inventory. $2~000 was budgeted for expendable equipment, and approximately $6,502 will be expended to repair equipment, purchase snow plow blades, nuts, bolts, etc. d. Approximately $89,348 will be spent in excess of the current budget. Fundin~ is available from the following sources: Trigon Settlement $31,931 Health Department Subsidy 57,417 The City of Roanoke has received $193,951 which represents unshared employer discounts for contract years 1991 and 1992. These refunds will be accounted for as revenue in Fiscal Year 1996-97 in the General Fund (001- 020-1234-0885) in an account entitled "Trigon Settlements." A separate Council report on Solid Waste Management expenditures has recommended using a portion of the settlement, with the remaining balance to be used for snow emergency operations. March 3, 1997 Council Report No. 97o125 Page 3 The remaining needed funding is available in the Health Department local match account #001-054-5110-3700 due to excess local match funding for the current budget year. 3. Timing is important, since snow removal accounts will be overexpended. City Council not authorize the transfer of $89,348 to the Snow Removal Budget. Bud~,etarv Impact will continue, as accounts will be overexpended. Funding will still need to be identified. Timing will not be an issue. V. Recommendation: City Council approve Alternative A, authorizing transfer of $89,348 from accounts described in Section IV., A., 2., to following accounts. Snow Removal Overtime FICA Expendable Equipment Chemicals 001-052-4140-1003 001-052-4140-1120 001-052-4140-2035 001-052-4140-2045 $25,431 1,823 6,502 55,592 $89,348 WRH:WLS:rla City Attorney Director of Finance Director of Public Works Manager, Streets & Traffic Budget Administrator Respectfully submitted, CityManager
