Roanoke, Virginia ~
March 13, 1989,~9 ~i ,
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject: Offer of Home Purchase Loan Funds to the City from the Virginia
Housing Development Authority (VHDA)
Background:
A. VHDA makes loans at below-market interest rates for home purchases,
construction or purchase and repair, to families with income generally in
the $12,000 - $38,000 range.
B. Urban Preservation and Infill Program (UP & I Program) is specifically
designed to reserve loan funds for use in low income and/or distressed
"Qualified Census Tracts and/or Approved Areas of Chronic Economic
Distress", as defined by the U. S. Internal Revenue Code.
C. A "Qualified Census Tract" is a census tract in which, according to the
latest available census data, 70% or more of the families are of low-
moderate income, i.e. with income at or below 80% of the statewide median
income. The areas identified on Attachment B are those meeting this defini-
tion. An "Area of Chronic Economic Distress" is one determined to be so by
the Internal Revenue Service and HUD, considering primarily age and con-
dition of existing housing stock and proportion of low income, welfare-
receiving, and/or unemployed residents. No areas of Roanoke have been
designated as Areas of Chronic Economic Distress.
D. VHDA has regularly made allocations of these funds for such targeted
areas of Roanoke since 1981, enhancing homeownership, rehabilitation and new
construction in older neighborhoods.
II.
Current Situation:
A. VHDA has offered the City an allocation of $360~000 at a current interest
of 9 7/8?6 to be loaned in IRS-designated "Targeted Areas" (see attach-
ments A and B). This interest rate may be adjusted periodically to
reflect changes in commercial lending rates. The allocation is effective
through December 1#, 1989.
B. No funds come directly to the City from this Program. Loan applications are
received and processed by private local commercial lenders, as recommended
by the City and approved by VHDA.
March 13, 1989
Page 2
III. Issues:
A. Cost to the City.
B. Consistency with Housing Development Strategic Plan recommendations.
C. Impact on Neighborhood, and homeownership opportunities.
IV. Alternatives:
A. Authorize the City Manager to execute the commitment agreement with VHDA
in the amount of 5360,000 (Attachment A), and to request VHDA to allow
all qualified lending agents to originate loans from this pool of funds.
Cost to the City would be nothing. The City already publicizes the
availability of VHDA financing as an alternative for homebuyers. No
other financial or legal liability is incurred by the City under this
Program. No loan funds come directly to the City government.
Consistency with the recommendations of the Housing Development
Strategic Plan Task Force would be met through attractive
financing to foster homeownership.
Impact on neighborhoods and homeownership opportunities would be
positive in that these loans encourage new construction and reha-
bilitation in the targeted areas and make it more feasible for
low-moderate income families to become homeowners.
B. Do not authorize the City Manager to execute the commitment agreement to
accept the allocation of loan funds.
Cost to the City would be nothing, except in terms of lost oppor-
tunity to increase homeownership and to preserve and expand
housing stock.
Consistency with the recommendations of the Housing Development
Strategic Plan Task Force would not be met.
Impact on neighborhoods and homeownership opportunities would be
negative, as a possible resource for homeownership, new home
infill construction, and rehabilitation would not become available.
V. Recommendation:
Concur in Alternative A, thereby authorizing the City Manager to execute the
commitment agreement with VHDA for $360,000 in home purchase loan funds in
the areas shown on Attachment B, and to request VHDA to allow all qualified
lending agents to originate loans from this pool of funds.

Dear Dan=
Enclosed is a Commitment Agreement for Target Area funds
from the 1988 A-AMT Single-Family bond issue. These funds are
available for use only in IRS approved Target Areas. Please have
this agreement signed by the appropriate person and return it to
me as soon as possible. Also provide me with the names and
addresses of the lenders that these funds will be assigned to.
The target area funds were made available on December 14,
1988, and will expire on December 14, 1989. The initial rate was
9 5/8, however, as of Jan. 23, 1989, the rate is 9 7/8. The rate
on these funds is subject to change upon notification by the
Authority. You can call the toll-free VHDA rate line, 1-800-637-
7738, for the current target area interest rate. Please pay
special attention to Section 3 Allocation Period and Section 4
Interest Rate. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate
to give me a call.

WHEREAS, the Authority expects to make available its
Commonwealth Mortgage Bonds, 1988 A-AMT (The Series A Bonds"), a
portion of the proceeds of which are expected to finance mortgage
loans in "Targeted Areas" (as hereinafter defined).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises
aforesaid, the commitments herein contained and other good and
valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:
Reservation of Funds. Subject to the terms and conditions
herein, the Authority hereby agrees to make an allocation
(the "Allocation") for the Locality in the amount of
$360,000 (the "Allocated Funds") to be used to provide
mortgage loan financing under the Authority's single-family
mortgage loan program (the "Program") for persons and
families of low- and moderate-income who purchase single-
family dwelling units which are located within Targeted
Areas (as defined in Paragraph 2 below). The Locality
hereby accepts such Allocation. Mortgage loans to be
financed with the Allocated Funds shall be originated,

Processing/Disbursing/ServicingAgents ("PDS Agents") in
accordance with this Agreement, the Rules and Regulations of
the Authority, the PDS Agreements between the Authority at
the PDS agents, the Authority's Processing and Disbursing

Guidelines for the Program.
Use of Funds. Ail mortgage loans made pursuant to this
Agreement must be for the purchase of properties which are

-1-
in Section 143 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and
the regulations issued thereunder (herein "Section 143").
If no such areas are approved within 90 days of the date of
this Agreement, the Authority may recapture these funds and
reallocate such funds to other approved areas.
Allocation Periods. Subject to the provisions hereof, the
Allocated Funds will be allocated for the Locality until the
latter of December 14, 1989, or one year from the date the
Authority determines that "funds are first made available
with respect to Targeted Area residences" for purposes of
Section 143. To the extent that such funds are not
committed, settled and disbursed by said date, such funds
shall (at the option of and to the extent deemed appropriate
by the Authority) no longer be deemed Allocated Funds for
the Locality and may be used by the Authority for any lawful
purpose.
Rate of Interest.
(a)
Initial Interest Rate. Mortgage loans made pursuant to
this Agreement ("Targeted Mortgage Loans"), the
applications for which were received by the applicable
PDS Agent before the effective date of the first
notification, if any, sent pursuant to subsection b. of
this section shall bear interest at a rate of 9-5/8
(9.625)%.
(b)

been determined in accordance with the resolutions
authorizing the issuance and sale of the Series A
Bonds.
Loans to One-Person Households. The Authority shall not
impose any limit on the number of mortgage loans made to
one-person households pursuant to this Agreement.
Reduction of Amount of Allocated Funds. The Authority may,
at any time and from time to time, reduce the amount of the
allocated Funds for the Locality if:
(a)
The Authority has determined that it is unlikely that
mortgage loans will be committed, settled and disbursed
within the time period set forth in paragraph 3 hereof
in the amount of the Allocated Funds, in which case the
Authority may reduce the amount of Allocated Funds to
such amount as the authority determines will be fully
committed, settled and disbursed within such period; or
-2-
(b)
The Authority is unable to make available a sufficient
aggregate principal amount of the Series A Bonds to
enable it to provide the total amount of Allocated
Funds set aside for all localities for Targeted Areas
under the UP & I Program.
The Locality understands and agrees that the Authority has made
the determination that the Allocated Funds must be committed,
settled and disbursed within the time periods set forth in
paragraph 3 hereof in order to assure the success of the
Authority's UP & I Program and therefore agrees that any
determination made by the Authority pursuant to this paragraph 6
above shall be final and binding on the Locality.
Termination of Allocation of Funds. The Authority may, at
any time, terminate the allocation of Allocated Funds for
the Locality upon 30 days written notice to the Locality
that the Authority has determined (a) that the Locality is
not complying with the program or other agreements between
the Locality and the Authority, or (b) that termination is
necessary to comply with the tax covenant in the General
Bond Resolution for the Series A Bonds or (c) that
termination is necessary to comply with Section 143.
Obligation of the Locality to Advertisp. The Locality shall
assist the Authority and the PDS Agents in using reasonable
diligence to place the Allocated Funds in qualified
mortgages within the meaning of Section 143. As part of
said duty to assist the Authority and the PSD Agents, the
Locality shall be required to make available the
availability of these funds in the manner prescribed by the
Authority, and shall provide evidence to the Authority of
its compliance with this requirement.

available such Series A Bonds, this Agreement shall be null
and void as of the date hereof.
Choice of Law; Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be
construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia. All provisions contained herein are severable and
should any provision be held invalid by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall remain in full
force and effect. In addition, all documents, resolutions

March 13, 1989
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject: Street Inventory for State Maintenance Payment Eligibility
I. Backsround on this subject includes:
Bo
Code of Virsinia establishes the eligibility criteria of
localities for receiving funds from the Virginia Department
of Transportation (VDOT) for street maintenance. It speci-
fies two functional classifications of highways (Principal/
Minor Arterials and Collector/Locals) and establishes a base
payment rate per lane mile for each classification of
roadway. These rates are adjusted annually by VDOT based
upon a statewide maintenance index of unit costs for labor,
equipment and materials used by VDOT on roads and bridges.
City eligibility for fiscal year 1988-89 is approximately
$5~860~104 in street maintenance payments from VDOT. These
funds are used for many maintenance expenditures that
the City incurs for streets, sidewalks, curb and gutter,
traffic signals, bridges, signs and pavement markings.
II. Current situation of this subject is:
Inventory additions need to be submitted to VDOT prior to
April 1, 1989, in order to be eligible for payment for the
next fiscal year. These additions are to be submitted on
VDOT forms with an accompanying resolution from City
Council.
City staff has found that the attached list of streets should
be submitted to VDOT before April 1, 1989, to enable their
eligibility for payment in the next fiscal year. Approval of
this addition to the street inventory could add $24,141 at
current year payment rates. These include new streets, cor-
rections to VDOT's current inventory, and streets omitted
from the VDOT inventory.

Issues in order of importance are:
A. Maintenance payments
B. Timin8
IV. Alternatives in order of recommendation are that City Council:
Ao
Authorize the City Manager to submit the attached list of
streets to the Virginia Department of Transportation for
approval by the Commonwealth Transportation Board to enable
State Maintenance Payment eligibility.
1. Maintenance payments from VDOT could increase by as much
as $24,141 with the State's approval of this list.
2o
Timin~ is important inasmuch as this list must be sub-
mitted to VDOT (Salem Resident Engineer) by April 1,
1989.
Do not authorize the City Manager to submit the attached list
of streets to the Virginia Department of Transportation for
approval by the Commonwealth Transportation Board to enable
State Maintenance Payment eligibility.
1. Maintenance payments from VDOT are not increased.
2. Timin~ is not an issue.

I. Back~round:
Oakland School was originally built in 1923 (by Roanoke County), it
was expanded in 1937 and a multi-purpose addition was built in
1973. The site is currently 2.86 acres in size. School enrollment
is currently 265 students.
Mo
City Council by Ordinance No. 29403, dated December 19, 1988,
authorized the acquisition of real estate identified by Official
Tax Nos. 3160103, 3160104 and 3160150, to be added to the school
property. At that time, by Ordinance No. 29402, Council
appropriated $221,200.00 to cover the purchase, demolition of
structures and initial improvements to the added property. New
area added to school property will total 0.93 acre.
II. Current Situation:
mo
Initial appraisal information on the properties was in the form of
an independent appraisal prepared as of November 15, 1985, which
placed the value at $175,000.00. Subsequent information obtained
relative to the current fair market value of the property indicates
a current fair market value of $202,500.00.
B. Analysis of funds on hand ($221,200.00) and current estimated prop-
erty value indicate a need for $22~500.00 in additional funding:
Cost of Demolition $ 8,000
Cost of Improvements 13,200
Purchase of Property = 202,500
Contingency = 20~000

Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Joel M. Schlanger
Actuarial Report of the Cit~ of Roanoke Pension Plan
as of June 30, 1988
In compliance with Section 22.1-22 of the Roanoke City
Code, which states in part, "...the Board shall .... submit to the
City Council, annually .... the financial condition of the system as
shown by an actuarial valuation of assets and liabilities of the
system", I attach a copy of our report just received from Buck
Consultants for the year ended June 30, 1988.
It is interesting to note that the number of active
retirees has risen from 764 as of June 30, 1980, to 971 as of June
30, 1988, revealing that longer life spans are adding to the
retirement roles.
As of June 30, 1988, the report was based on factual
information of 2,002 active members with 12 active members over
age 65.
We are also paying benefits to 95 former city employees
age 80 or older, and 78 dependents/beneficiaries age 80 or older.
Of these, 25 are over age 90 with the oldest retiree as of June
30, 1988, being 98 years old.
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Page 2
March 13, 1988
One of the key elements of determining the actuarial
rate that the City of Roanoke has consistently funded is the
adjusted asset value which is determined under the five year
moving average method. This method is used to reflect good years
in the market (such as this past year) as well as bad years. This
is detailed on page 24 of the "Report of the Actuary".
The past nine years actuarial rates as calculated by
Buck Consultants are as follows:
June 30, 1988 12.61%
June 30, 1987 12.07%
June 30, 1986 13.15%
June 30, 1985 13.69%
June 30, 1984 14.85%
June 30, 1983 14.89%
June 30, 1982 14.10%
June 30, 1981 13.29%
June 30, 1980 13.05%
The actuarial rate rose slightly from FY87 to FY88
partially due to the cost of granting lump sum payments to
qualified retired members and surviving spouses which was
effective July 1, 1988, at a cost to the system of $113,943 and
the permanent cost-of-living raise granted to the same retirees
effective July 1, 1987, at a cost of $935,793 to the system. As
you can see, a permanent cost-of-living raise is extremely costly
compared to the lump sum method.

March 6, 1989
Honorable Mayor and Members of Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject: Graduate Center Church Avenue Garage Space
I. Background
Virginia Tech, under the leadership of Dr. James McComas,
announced that they will be running the Graduate Center
Program in Roanoke. Virginia Tech is working with the
University of Virginia, Radford University, Roanoke College,
Hollins College and others, as a lead agency in providing
credit and non-credit courses for the citizens of the Roanoke
Valley.
Identifiable space separate from Virginia Western Community
College was thought to be important in order to properly
market these services
City Council, at its November 28, 1988 meeting authorized the
City Manager to enter into an agreement with Virginia Tech.
Virginia Tech has completed their space planning for the
facility. The cost to renovate the space to make it suitable
for a graduate center is substantially higher than estimated.
This higher cost is partly due to a very expensive microwave
transmission system to broadcast some of their classes via
satellite.
Additional estimated costs have resulted in the State asking
for a longer rent free period in order to amortize their
investment in the space. Specifically, Virginia Tech is
asking for the space rent free for three years instead of two.
II. Issues
A. Cost.
B. Education.
C. Economic Development.
D. Future developments.
Members of Council
March 6, 1989
Page 2
III. Recommendations
Alternative A
Authorize the City Manager to enter into an appropriate letter of
agreement and lease agreement in a form approved by the City
Attorney.
Cost to the City will be zero in that Virginia Tech will pay
for all expenses incurred on the space. These permanent
improvements will add substantial value to the space.
Education opportunities for credit and non-credit courses will
be provided by the various universities in this location.
There should also be opportunities for relationships between
the Graduate Center and the City School, with the possibility
of a shared computer.
Economic Development impact will be great in that hundreds of
students will be coming into the area on a daily basis, eating
and shopping in downtown Roanoke.
Do
Future development involving Virginia Tech and related to
other major projects in downtown is tremendous. We view this
as a first investment in a long future relationship with
Virginia Tech and the other universities.
Alternative B
Do not authorize the City Manager to enter into any agreements
related to this project.
A. Cost would not be a factor.
Education opportunity would probably be provided somewhere else in the
Valley.
C. Economic development opportunity would be missed.
Do
Future development opportunities involving the City of Roanoke
and Virginia Tech would be greatly harmed.

IN THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROANOKE,
The 13th day of March, 1989,
No, 29493,
VIRGINIA,
A RESOLUTION urging the Committee on District Courts to
certify a judicial vacancy in the General District Court of
the Twenty-Third Judicial District, upon the election of the
Honorable Diane McQ. Strickland as a Circuit Court Judge of
the Twenty-Third Judicial Circuit.
WHEREAS, the Honorable Diane McQ. Strickland, one of the
five General District Court judges of the Twenty-Third Judi-
cial District, has been elected as a Circuit Court Judge of
the Twenty-Third Judicial Circuit by the 1989 Session of the
General Assembly;
WHEREAS, the General Assembly has heretofore seen fit to
elect five General District Court judges to serve the Twenty-
Third Judicial District which is composed of the City of
Roanoke, the City of Salem, the Town of Vinton and Roanoke
County;

election of Judge Strickland to the Circuit Court Judiciary
will create a backlog of cases and impose an undue hardship
upon the public, Bar and judiciary; and
WHEREAS, this Council is of the firmly held opinion that
it is very important that the Twenty-Third Judicial District
continue to be served by five General District Court judges;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of
Roanoke as follows:

District Courts to certify the need for five General District
Court 3udges for the Twenty-Third Judicial District in order
that a successsor can be elected to the Honorable Diane McQ.
