surprise to his client and to himself since in 1972 the Health Services
Planning Council proposed a broad scaled Ordinance that would apply both
to volnnteer non-profit rescue squads as well as to ambulance services, that
overnight there seem~ to be a reversal and the reasons given do not answer
the questions, that in June, 1972, city Council adopted Resolution No. 20307

the llfe saving crews.

and service Company, Incorporated, appeared before Council and advised that on
two occasions he met with Council and the City Manager concerning the pollcy
of hie company relative to the term of contract for operation of transit
facilltles, that on both occasions he implied that his company had never taken
one year contracts, that this was not the case since his company did accept
a one year contract with the City of Norfolk in March, 1973, however, ATE had
been managing the Norfolk facilitles since early 1970 and already had employees
living there, that it was not his intention to mislead the m~mhers Of Council,
that his lack of checking the facts and being aware o[ the matter has raised
doubts about the integrity of his company a/Id himself, that ATE was tentatlvely
accepted by the City of Roanoke to operate its transit facilities, that
facts around the country prove that ATE has superior representation and
that he hopes that Council will consider the record of his company rather
than his unfortunate mistake when it considers the mtter further.
Hr. Ringo further advised that ATE ~ansgement and Service Company,
Incorporated, has reviewed its policy regarding term of contract and still
feels that & t~o year contract is important, that he kno~s the city is concerned
about regional takeover, and, for that reason, ATE Is mere than willing to sign a
two year contract with the City of Roanoke with the proviso that if a Regional
T~ansportation District comes into b~lng that all rights of ATE under that
contract wiiI terminate at that ti~ and there will b~ no charges incurred by
ATE for mewing expenses for its employees.

In this connection, Hr. George E. Franklin, Executive Director,
Opportunities Industrialization Center, Incorporated, appeared before Councl!
and advised that April 15, 1975, is the deadline for filing the application
with the federal government, that it cannot undergo the A-95 review process
prior to a meeting of the Fifth Planning District C~t~slon at the end of
January and as he understands it from the City Hanager, this is out and it
cannot undergo the reviews until the Conmisslens' meeting on the last of February,
that based on that, It would appear that Council could delay its action until
the last meeting in the month o£ January and that du~ing that time Council
and/or the city administration could a11o~ for consideration of certain
situations, i. e., the sociil ramifications of building one swimning pool
that have been generated between the recn~-~datlons as to sites by the
Co~nunity Relations Committee and the reccannendetions by the city administration,
that OIC is o£ the belief that there is substantial merit in beth recommenda-
tions and that to c~oose one over the other ~ould be to create an unhealthy
environment for those persons least llkely to be able to rationally deal
it.

PETITIONS A/~DCOMHUNICATIONS:
ELECTIONS: The Electoral Board subm/tted a written report in
connection with a petition filed by residents of the Garden City Precinct
142
requesting that Council reconsider its action In consolidat~ng the l~verdale
and Garden City Precincts as provided by Ordinance No, 21558, recom~-ding,
after due consideration, that the poll:l.ng place of the consolidated precinct
remain at the No. 11 Fire Station, the primary reason being that the Garden Caty
Elementary School would place the polling place for the consolidated precinct
at the eouther~ extreme of that precLnct boundary.
(For full text, see report as filed in the City Clerk's Office.)
Mr. Kenneth King, Attorney, representing approximately 360 Garden
City residents, appeared before Council end requested that Council reconsider
Ordinance No. 21558, advising of inadequate par~ing conditions and heavy
traffic, but the most serious concern being that most of the Garden City
voters are elderly citizens who would have to go to a highly traveled area
across a busy street to reach their polling place, and this would add a
barrier to their willingness to vote.
Mr. Alton B. Prillamon, chairman, Electoral Board, appeared before
Council and advised that he can understand the concern of the peoplnt
however, the Electoral Board advertised the proposed change in polling
places in the newspaper, that they would have welcomed any response or
comments from concerned citizens at that time, however, the Board received
no response whatsoever and therefore felt that the people had no objections,
then, after the Ordinance was adopted providing for the change, the petition
in opposition was filed with Council.
Approximately 30 people were in attendance with reference to the
matter.
In a discussion as to the poaaibil£ty of retaining the two precincts,
the City Attorney advised that Ordinance No. 21558 has been adopted by Council,
that it has been forwarded to the Department Of Justice and approved by that
Department end in order to reinstate tile two precinctst approval of the Justice
Department would have to be obtained once again before it could become effective.
After a very lengthy discussion, Hr. Trout moved that the ~tter
be referred back to the Electoral Board for the purpose of meeting with
the concerned parties in an effort to reach some type of compromise. The
motion was seconded by Hr. Thomas and unanimously adopted.
With reference to the matter of publlc notices, Hr. Thomas advieed that
something is am~ss and moved that the City Ha~ager devote study to the types
of public notices that are being provided for citizens of the city end that
the City Manager submit any recommendations he might have in reference to
changes or modifications thereof. The motion was seconded by Hr. Trout and
unanlmously adopted.

parents and this Committee with their orderly return
and their orderly behavior until such time as the
evidence brought out through due process indicates
othe~lse ·
b. ~d/or this Council estsblieh an emergency alternative
educational environment until such time es the
2. Criminal Records
~hlle we understand what has been done cannot be undone,
we are requesting that Council take whatever steps
necessa~-y to cause these records of arrest to be removed
from the Police Department files and placed at the
Central Office of the Roanoke City public School's
Ad~nistratlon Building, to be disposed of at
future date, in a manner arrived at through a re.tonal
investigation and consideration°
3. Parents not notified
That the Councl! take whatever steps necessary to cause
the Roanoke City school System to review and where
evidence warrants to implement corrective procedures.
4. Utilizat/on of Police
We are aware of the fact that s~nc~ desegregation tb/s
practice has prevailed. We tb~nk that it warrants
this Council's due consideration. We do not desire to
el~m~nat~ this as a procedure available to the schoole~
however, we are concerned wlth it being a premature
course of action as opposed to an action of last
resort.
5. Guilt vs. innocence
We must change society's ~maga of the poor man= that
being, that by virtus of h~s economical cond£t~ons, he
is prone to criminal activities and thereby guilty at
the point of charge.
We respectfully request that you, members of city Coancil, take
action on these priorities during the next ten working days.

that it also appears that in advertising for the public hearings before
the City Planning Commission, that the Conmdssion should advertise in the

reach sc~e type of co~promlse with reference to the recent action of Council
in consolidating the Riverdale and Garden City Voting Precincts, the
Electoral Board submitted a written report advising that due to th9 fact that
Council will have to reconsider numerous precinct realignments if and when
the annexation decision becomes final, the Electoral Board suggested to Mr.
Kenneth King, counsel for the petitioners, that if they would agree to leave
the polling place as is for the 1975 election, the Electoral Board would
strongly consider the merits of their arguments in their recommendation to
Council when it came time to realign precincts affected by the annexation
decision, that Hr. King met with the petitioners and responded by letter
dated February 4, 1975, and, in essence, the petitioners feel very strongly
that they want their polllng place either at the Garden City School or at

City School and the Riverdale Fire Station, and transmitting five alternatives

School Board requesting that $394,166.16 be appropriated to Accou21t 13497
Of the 1974-75 budget of the Roanoke City School Roard, to provide funds for
the purchase of twenty-nine 66-passenger school buses, two 36-passenger
school buses and one 12-14-passenger van, was before Council.
Mr. Samuel P. McNeil, chairman of the Roanoke City School Board,
appeared before Council in support of the request of the Board and
advised that with the School Board having its ow~ fleet of buses the schools
could be opened at the sa~e t~me ill the morning a/Id close at the sa~e time
~n the afternoons and that drivers employed by the School Board would have
better disciplinary control over students.
Mr. McNeil also presented a list of eight reasons that the School
Board feels it needs additional school buses.
(For full text, see list as filed in the City Clerk's Office.)
The City Manager pe~Lnted out that the service center as is presently
under construction does not envision the servicing and maintaining of the
additional yellow school buses, and that land adjacent to the service center
has beea~ acquired by the city in order that a wing ca/l be constructed onto
the service center to accommodate the additional school buses.
After a lengthy discussion of the request, Mr. Trout offered the
following emergency Ordinance transferring $394,166.16 from Vocatlonal

~r. Josh L. Wilson, 1210 Rorer Avenue, S. W., appeared before
Council and read a prepared statement from The Elected Committee Representing
Concerned Citizens, advising that on Februar~ 18, 1975, the Co. tree
appeared before Council and presented matters of significant Lmportance to
some of its citizens, that those ~atters were expressed in the form of five
priorities, that as stated in the co~unication the Co~ttee expected and
requested Council to take action within ten working daya, that the Committee
is aware of Council's response to them on February 18~ however, the Committee
was hopeful that after the initial response Council would have found cause
at least to discuss the matter with the Roanoke City School Board, that
the Committee had hoped that Council would review individually the priorities
and collectively discuss them, the results of whichwould be that City Council
would instruct, direct and/or suggest to the School Board its thinking~
that the Committee has seen no evidence of Council's involvement~ that if
the CoancI1 has a position, the Committee would like to be advised
accordLngly~ requesting that Councll call for a suspension of all p~nitive
activities until the School Board can receive the admlnistrations~ reperte~
that it~ight be advantageous to request the city Attorney's Office to
~nvestigate, or at least give a position on whether or not there is a
probability of the school system being in violation of the students~ rights
by suspending before hearings an~ by establshlng conditions for returning
to school~ end further requesting that Councll have the City Attorney's Office
review the rules and regulatlons un~erwhich the school s~ste~has been
carrying out its activities in this affair as to their constitutionality.
(For full text, see statement as filed in the City Clerk's Office.}

~o 'l'hcs~s po:l. nted~out that beyond the polnt of Council appropriating
money to the School Board and appointinq members,to that Board~ the Council
has no authority to go into the operation of the schools and tell the School
Board how to ~ut the system.
Hr. Thomas questioned the City Attorney as to Whether or not it would
be legally proper for Council to mae2 With the School Board and/or ad~Lnietrstion
to question or investigate the handling of this matter or any other School Board
matter~ whereupon, the City Attorney replied that he fails to see any reason
for Council to meet with the School Board to see what they are doing, that his
office has been in close contoct with the situation and that the matter has
been handled properly and legally.
After a lengthy discussion, Hr. Trout moved that the proposal
of The Elected C~tttee Representing Concerned C£tizune in conjunction
with Opportunities Industrialization Center be referred to the Roanoke

the City Attorney submitted a ~Titten report advising that neither the
Charter ncr the applicable statutes, insofar as he has been able to deterge[ne
contain authority that one person, without his consent, be held for payment
of a debt or obligation of another person merely by reason of a local
Ordinance so expressly providing, that to the contrary, Section 11.2 of the
Code of Virginia provides, in what is known to law, ers and the courts as the
Statute of Frauds, that no action shall be brought to charge any person upon
a prom/se to answer for the debt, default, or misdoing of another unless the
promise, contract, agreement, etc., be in writing signed by the party
to be charged, or by his agent, and it is noted that obligations to pay
each of the abovementioned charges and tax is presently imposed on the
customer receiving the service and not on the owner of the pre~m/ses
occupied by the customer, and, for the above reasons, he does not consider
the provision proposed to be merely added to Rule 31, in Section 12, Chapter
l, Title XlI o£ the City Code to be enforceable in the courts in the face
of serious contest.

that the question before Council is not whether the City Of Roanoke will re-
cycle its solid waste at so~e future date, but when will the city institute
a system of recycling, that even though this feasibility study was well
prepared and contains many sound recommendations, there are two notable
areas which he feels it has neglected, viz= (1) it does not discuss the
possibility or feasibility of soliciting bids, from scrap or recycling concerns,
of certain refuse in the city of Roanoke on a selective basis for recycling,
and (2) the question of whether or not Council should consider requiring
its citizens to do a certain amount of waste separation at the source.
(For full text, see statement as filed in the City Clcrk*s Office.)

recycling solid wastes~ that the City Hanager advise Cotmcil In ~rc detail as

Hr. George E. Franklin, Executive Director, Opportunities
Industrialization Center, appeared before Council and stated that OIC was
founded to provide educational opportunity to those persons not desirous of
going to cc~nnunity colleges, that OIC has Lrained ~ore than 2,000 persons in
the last four years, that other organisations have started these s~e courses
but OIC has not yelled duplication, someone else did, that the only Hanpo~er
Training Prcx~rem in the Fifth ~lanning District is OIC, that OIC has done
what it was asked to do, that it is the only agency with the expertise to
train In the area of educational skill, that OfC regl~ests that Council intercede
and cause the present plan to be modified and changed, that it is requested
that Council not only continue OIC but that Council enlarge it so that
children £rom age six to seventeen and adults ~ay have an alternative to the
present educational system.
Dr. Taylor stated that he thinks in his own way he hss tried to
be responsive to all the people of ~{oanoke, that in 1966 he stood in the
Office of Sergeant Shriver and they received $55?,000.00 to initiate the first
job training program in the valley, that Roanoke was one of the first eight
original OIC's and the only one in the deep Sout~ at that time, that it has
been a meaningful program amd is worthy of continued support, that he is
troubled about what is going to happen to OIC as a result of this, that he
hopes that Council is not going to be a part in destroying OTC but that it
wtll take a long look at what ls happening, that if there is something the
city can do and if it is in the city's power, he hopes the city will save
OIC.
Hr. Thomas stated that the thing to do is to ask Hr. Frardclln and
his representatives at OIC to meet with the C£ty H~nager and look at the
situation one more time and see that before it comes back to the planning
district that we take a hard look at it to see if this is the position of the
city, that it seems to him that it would be time well spent to sit down and
try to think ~nd see if that is where We are.

OTHER HEAR/NGS OF CITIZENS~
BUSESz Mr. Lac~ Edgerton appeared before Council relative to the

would issue an ult/matum to the drivers that if they do not return to work
at a given t/me their jobs will be lost and new drivers will be hired.
Mr. Bob Umbergert representing the United Central Labor Council,
appeared before Council and expressed concern for the senior citizens and
working citizens who use the buses as their only source Of transportation~
advising that he is of the opinion that the strikers should be conm~ended
for the order they have shown, that the Labor Council feels the contract
submitted by Mr. John Sweeney has exaggerated costs, that the strikers are
now requesting hospitalization insurance, a better pension plan and eight
paid holidays per year and he feels that if the Board of Directors Of the
Greater Roanoke Transit Company would agree to Or persuade Mr. John Sweeney
to agree to binding arbitrat~on the buses would be on the streets tomorrow.

to the hardships that are being placed on the citizuna of the Roanoke Valley

its power to end the strike.
Mr. Gerald Moody appeared before Councll and presented petitions
signed by approximately ~450 taxpayers of the Roanoke Valley advising that they
feel the bus drivers deserve what they are regnesting and that they would like
for the buses to be put back on schedule as soon as possible. Hr. Moody
further expressed the opinion that the management of the bus company has
a 'take it or leave it' attitude as far as negotiations are concerned.
The Reverend Charles T. Green appeared before Council and expressed
concern for the inconvenience that is being caused for so ~%ny people in the
Roanoke Valley and also expressed concern for the bus drivers, advising that
what the drivers are.requesting is not unreasonablet that if it means that
the city has to get money from other means then t~xes should be raised or
whatever needs to be done to get the buses back on the streets and that with
a little c~mprom~se on both sides the situation could be worked out.
Mr. ~aymond Pugh representing students of Virginia Western Co~nu~ity
College appeared before Council and urged the full cooperation of Council
in getting the buses back on the streets and called attention to the hardships
experienced by students at Virginia Western in getting to school.

Mr. Llsk stated that he feels the motion is out of order since
Council is not acting ~n its capacity as the Board of Directors of the
Greater Roanoke Transit Company.
The motion failed for lack of a second.

of the Greater Roanoke Transit Company and that he feels confident a meeting
will be called in the ver~ near future to discuss the recent proposal of
the Union officials and the cost breakdown relative thereto.

Mr. James Cunningham, Staff Member, OIC, appeared before Council and

no racial problems whatsoever, requesting that Council reconsider the request
that was presented at its meeting on June 2, 1975, by OIC for funding and
reiterated the request of Ms. Evans that council appoint one of its members
to meet with the staff of the Consortium and the staff of OIC to review the
situation.
Mr. Lisk stated that he does not k~ow where the city is going to get
the money and that whatever decision the Council makes will have to be based
on plain dollars a~d cents a~d if the ~oney is available.
Mr. Thomas stated that there is no point in referring the request
of OIC to 1975-76 budget study since it is s~m~thing that must go through the
Consortium and that it would be ~sleading to OIC and to the co--unity to
refer the request to budget study due to the fact that there are not sufficient
funds to cover the proposal.

in writing and addressed to the Consortium. The motion was seconded by Mr.
Garland and unanimously adopte~.

tive to the Board of Directors of OIC in order'to establish a better relationship.
Mr. Hubard stated that if a Councilman is appointed to serve on the
Board of Directors of OIC there would be a conflict of interest and he would not
be in favor of such representation, but suggested that possibly liaison representa-
tion would be the proper course of action for Council to follow.

would require the moving of the court facilities of that city away from the

report relative to utility tax relle£ on street lighting, tax on telephone

relief from the utility tax on street lighting, the Comm~ssion recommended
that this exemption not be provided for protective lighting in line with
the general policy which the C~lssion follows of not reccum~endlng narrow
exemptions from tax.
With reference to the request of the C & P Telephone Company for
relief from the utlllty tax with respect to the coverage of certain business
services provided by the telephone company, the Commission recommended that
conslderation of extension of the coveruge to comparable services of those
provided by means of the utiltity tax or an alternative form of tax and that
the Connnission would be willing to reco~nd an exemption of the C & P
services from the utility tax only in the event the City Attorney advises it is
not possible to provide a comparable tax on the other servicee.

business license tax on tattooing, the Comn~ssion recommended no special
exe~lptions from license taxes, Pointing out that the Co~nission has previously
recommended that broad reductions in business license taxes in general be
~de as part of a revision of the city business license str~cture which
the Co~m~sslon still believes is desirable and deserves consideration and
it is the opinion of the Com~ssion that this is the way to allevlate license
tax inequities rather than making specific exe~mpt~ons.
Hr. C. L. Whltehurst, Jr., Hanager, C & P Telephone Company,
appeared before Council in support of the request of C & P.
Relative to the request of C & P, Mro Garland~oved that the

form of tax that would bring the~aup to.what is required of C & P. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Hubard and tmanimously adopted.
Relative to the report as it pertains to the requests of the Wasena
Protective Group and Mr. Danny Fowler, Mr. Hubard ~oved that said recommenda-'
tions be received and filed and concurred in by Council. The motion was

is faced with the problem of resolvin9 these ~nterdepaxtmental disputes and
therefore the citizens are ~nconvenienced, that so.where along the l~ne every-
one has to get their thinking in gear and move forward and ha does not see how
the funds of Greater Roanoke Transit Co. any could ~nte~rest the Treasurer

the matter is to merge the financial operations of the City of Roanoke into one

in the November General Election.

'July 21, 1975
Honorable Nayor and City Council
Roanoke, Virginia.
Gentlemenl
subject~ Bids - Hunictpal Parking Garage
After proper advert/sement bids were received and
publicly opened and read before City Council at a special
meeting at 2 p.m., Wednesday, July 2, 1975, for the
construction Of a municipal parking garage. Nine bids
were received with the low bid in the amount of $3,824,000
being s~aitted by Pebble Building Company of Ll~lchburg,
Virginia. A tabulation of all bids received ia attached
to this report as Attachment I.
To date $1,306,062.51 has been expended and/or encum-
bered on this project for the purchase of the site and
related expenses of the purchase, for architectural and
engineering services, and for demolition of the three
structures formerly occupying the site. This leaves
$3,693,937.49 in unenctlmbered funds nut of the Original
$5,000,000 authorized for this project. Based on the
construction bids received of $3,824,000, the attache~
revised project cost estimate (Attachment II) was prepared.
This esetmate reflects un increase of $5~0,000 in the
project cost to $5~500,000.
Your bid committee has reviewed the bids received, has
reviewed qualifications of the bidder, and has m~t with
representatives of Pebble Building Ce~any and its parent
flr~, W. J. Hegin, Incorporated. It is the co--tree's
opinion that the bid submitted by Pebble Building company
meets the specifications and that the campany is qualifled
to perform this work.
In view of the increased total project cost, your
committee considered at length whether or not to reco=mend
acceptance of alternate bid No. 1 whichwould have reduced
the size of the parking structure by 2 decks or 180 parking
s~aces for a reduction in cost of $410,000. The cost per
parking space for the total structure (804 parking spaces;
$3,824,000 cost) is $4,756. The credit give~l in alternate
No. I for reducing the size of the structure is only
$2,278 per parking space, less tha~l one-half the cost per
space. If it was necessary to add the decks back onto the
structure in the future, the operations of the lower
parking decks end the coomerclal space would be severely
affected for at least one year during construction. Con-
struction of the two addltional decks at a later date would
certainly cost,ore than they cost at this ti/=e. For these
reasons, it is not reco~ended that alternate No. 1 be accepte~.
It is recon~nended that authorization be given to issue
up to $500,000 in additional bonds to finance this project.
It is recolmn~nded that the low bass bid be accepted
and that a contract in the alnount of $3,824,000 be awarded
to Pubble Building company.
It is further reco~nded
be rejected.
that all other bids received

BUSES-SCHOOLS: Mr. Lisk presented a cc~nunication reco~ending
that Council request the City Manager to discuss with the School ~uninistra-
tion the possibility of servicing the buses for the school syste~ through
5OO
the city's t~ansportatlon maintenance division since the city will have to
retain a certain mlnimm number of m~chanl~s after Railways Bus Company
no longer has a contract with Greater Roanoke Transit Company.
Hr. Lisk also requested that the record eho~ the following supplemental
'! was suggesting to supplement the SchOol Board initial
servicing of school buses on the ne~ Se~vlco Center site
in which they have been assigned and are ih the process
of constructing a Butler building. It might be feasible
for them to consider subletting sc~e of their bus main-
tenance to Greater Roanoke Transit COmpany instead of hav-
ing to hire additional mechanics at the garage to do same.
If for ~y reason Valley Metro would go on strike, this would
not preclude the School Board from servicing all their buses
for a temporary period of time at the Service Center loca-
This is simply a recc~nendation for consideration since the
city has to retain 34 mechanics et the Valley Metro repair
shop even after September 1, 1975~ when we will no longer
be servicing Trailways buses.'

for study, re~ort and reconnnendation to Council.

INVOCATION: The meeting was opened with a prayer by Hayor Gus ~. Nicks.
JAILS: Mayor Webber advised that the special meeting was called for the
purpose of discussing future jell facilities for the Roanoke Valley and that
he also extended to Vinton town officials an invitation to attend this meeting,
and asked the members present from the Roanoke County Board of Suervisors to
present their proposal.
Reverend C. L. Dodson advised that Hr. Richard C. Flora, Chairman Of the
Roanoke County Board of Supervisors was unable to attend this meeting and ex-
pressed his regrets.
Reverend Dodson then advised that a written statement of the proposal had
been mailed earlier to each member of Roanoke City Council and presented a copy
of the following, stating that this past week Vinton and the Roanoke Coenty
Board of Supervisors eat together and discussed the proposal at length; that
he appreciated the gu/ok response of Roanoke City Council end their attendance
on such a short notice; that Roanoke County proposes to the City that the
County and the City of Roanoke build a jail on the property that the City has
selected already, that this jail be jointly owned and operated under a joint
board, that he would like for city Council to take a maximum of 30 days to
"40
study the proposal, that no l~adlate.anawer was necessary, that upon favorable
response to this proposal Roanoke County would take fm~diate steps to negotiate
with the federal government to acquire the old building across the street used
as the Post Office, that if the County could acquire it at a nominal cost then
they voul~ Immediately take steps to put to the voters of l~oanoke County in a
referendum the choice of moving the courthouse to that facility and administrative
offices if feasible, that the Boa~d of Superviso~.a have felt that a Jail and
courthouse should be in physical proximity, that the courthouse and Jail should
be close as possible, end if they could get favorable response to a Jail, which
would be jointly operated, that ~ould necessitate that they move vigorously to
provide a cotucthouse in that proximity=
'PROPOSAL OF ItOAN01~ COUHTY
August 13, 1975
T~esday evening Roanoke County and Vinton came to a mutual
agreement in reference to the construction and/er relocation of the
County jail, courthouse and administ~ratlve offices.
The County and Vln~on propose to the City of Roanoke the
follo~ing:
(1) the County and City jointly build and operate a regional
jell in tile location presently selected by Roanoke City.
(a) The County would have joint c~raership of the facility.
(b) The jail would be operated by a joint board.
(2) Provided the City of Roanoke accepts the abovementioned
proposal, the County will pursue with the Federal govern-
ment the acquisition of the 'old' post office building
for the purposes of courts and administrative offices.
If acquired, at a nominal cost=
(a) The County will put to the voters of Roanoke County
the question of moving, the courthouse from Salem to
the location of the 'eld' post office.
(3) 'In the event Roanoke City rejects the concept of joint
o~nershlp and joint operation, the County will pursue, in
concert vlth the ~n of Vinton, alternate solutions that
are acceptable to the voters of Roanoke County.
(4) It is the opinion of the County that the jail and courts
should be located vith reasonable proximity of each
other~ therefore, in the event the Federal post office
building cannot be acquired at a nominal cost or if a
referendu~ on the question Of moving the courthouse fails
to meet voter approval, it vould become necessary for the
County to.vithdraw their proposal on the jail question.
(5} The City has thirty (30) days from this date to accept
or reject this proposal.
(6) I£ acceptable to the city, the proposal should remain
open until all the required acquisitions and referendum
can be accomplished. '
Hr. Garland questioned if that vas decided by a unanimous vote, and vas
advised by Reverend nodson that it was the unant~nous vote of Vinton ~o~n Council
and four out of five of the Supervisors of Roanoke County.
Hr. Seibel stated it vas alvays felt this vas the place to put the jail,
that he feels strongly this is more desirable them Salem and expressed the hope
that the valley governments could work together and that Roanoke City Council
will give this p~opoeal serious consideration, that this ~ay be a turnin~
point in the valley 1£ It works out, and that the County would request the
legislators to change the requirement on the number of votes needed ~n favor
of moving the cou~thoUSeo
Hrs. ~ohnson stated she would like to echo what has already been said,
that it is time valley governments get together, that there is a need to c~-
promise, to give a little and take a little, and that she has been for this for
a long time.
Mayor Nicks stated that Vinton had a good meeting with the Board of
Supervisors on Tuesday night, that they went over the proposal thoroughly, and
that he feels to build three jails in the valley does not make for adult thinking.
Hr. Puckett, Hr. Cox and Hr. Brabham agreed that they would like to see
this materialize, Hr. Brabham advising that in other places he has lived it
has worked out.
Hr. Sanderson advised he thinks the County is reasonable in requesting to
jointly own and operate the facility, that if the referendum would go through
it would be a fine thing, that it would be a great central location for all con-
cerned, and that he would welcome a favorable response to the request.
Hr. H. S. Ferguson appeared before the body in favor of the proposal,
advising that he is of the opinion the majority of the legal profession would
love having the facilities together to save traveling back and forth, that
having both Clerks offices within one block of each other would help, and since
this is all one judicial circuit, the 23rd circuit, it makes sense to join the
facilities, and requested that Roanoke City Council take a good look at this
and try to work out something.
Hr. Nub=rd stated he likes the possibility of valley cooperation,
that Council will take a long and serious look at the proposal and if
there is any way they can endorse it they certainly will; he cited the
following actions of Roanoke City Council concerning the jail facility
and certain related matters: (1) Ordinance No. 21166, dated October 15,
1973, (2) Resolution Ne. 21216, dated November 12, 1973, (3) Resolution
No. 22139, dated March 31, 1975, (4) Resolution No. 22271, dated 3one 9,
1975, and (5) Resolution No. 22272, dated June 9, 1975, and stated that
in his opinion what the City has already offered seems to be more favorable
than this proposal of the County, that the City ia already on record as
saying it would do even more than what the County is asking for in the
new proposal.
After a discussion on methods of operation and financing, Reverend
Dodson advised that there should be a new beginning with this current
proposal~ an~l that they did not co,ne to the mee'~.J, ng ~y vl~ fl~es

before Council°
In this connection~ a co~aunicatlon fr~n l~ro and ~s, Ro E. Clement~
the requested improvements to the echool~ was before coUncil.
Hr. Lisk questioned whether or not the C~etal Spring Elemen~ar~
School will be con,hUed .end maintained for a 10ng. f~tu~e and :the Chairman
of the Roanoke City School Board replied that the school will last at least
fifteen years.
The Director Of Finance questioned where the money is caming from
end it vas pointed out that there are sufficient funds in the vocational center
account and the landfill account to cover the request.
CoUncil then asked the Director of Finance if funds from these two
accounts may be used for this pUEpOSe; whereupon~ the Director of Finance
replied that he kno~s of no reason why these t~o accounts cannot be used for
this purpose.
Hr. Hubard expressed concern in finding the money and advised that he
hopes the Roanoke City School Board will provide Council with long range
indicat/ons of what capital funds it will need in the next five years in order
that these funds may be provided for in a bond tssuu and that he does not
think the School Board should come to CoUncil with a one quarter m~llion dollar
request unless it is critical.
The City Manager advised that it is anticipated that a total bond
progra~ will be presented to Council in the near future once the aUnexatlon
decision is flnalized and Hr. Hubard stated that he hopes the City Manager
will have an idea in that program for reimbursement of the landfill account
and the vocational center accoUnt.
Mr. Trout moved that the communication from the Roanoke City School
Board be received and filed and referred to the Director of Finance for prepara-
tion o£ the proper measure providing for the requested funds by thu next regular
meeting of CoUncil on Monday, August 25, 1975. The motion was seconded by Dr.

lot Football Progra~ of the city, with the ttnderstanding that the Chamber of
Commerce vlll provide the required insurance coverage and ~ake the additional ga~e
profits sva~Iable to the Department of Parks and Recreation for sandlot £ootball
equipment purchases~ was before Councllo
(For full text, see co~mtcat~on as f~led in the C£t~f Clerk's Office.)
Hr. Garland ~oved that the comnunlcat£on be referred to the Cit~
Hanager and the Roanoke C~¥tc Canter and Stadium Advisory Co~n~ssion for study~
report and reco~aendatlon to Council. The motion was seconded b~ Hr. Llsk
and unanimously adopted.
SEWERS AND STOI~ DI~AINS: A comunlcat~on from Mr. Peter C. Sn~der, Vice
President~ The Snyder-Hunt Corporation, advising that they are owners of thirty-
two acres of land fronting on Ogden Road and directly across Ogden Road from the
old Jefferson Hills Golf Course~ that they are vitally ~nterested In the con-
struction of the Murray Run Interceptor Sewer Line~ that the main obstacle delay-
ing the awarding of bids and starting construction on the project is In obtain-
ing all the easements needed, and requesting the assistance of Council to
expedite this project, was before the bo~y.
{For full text, see ccum~un~cation as filed in the City Clerk's Office.)
Hr. Thomas inquired of the city F~nager as to the reason for the
delay on the project~ whereupon the City Manager replied that the Adm/nietration
was informed that the city could proceed with this project On April 30, 1975,
and at that t/~e the A~n£strat/on was under the ~ression that it could
utilize the existing easements for the construction of the new llne, later
that decision was withdrawn and it was determined that the city had to have
new easements, at this time the City Attorney's Office started preparing deeds,
but later that was stopped due to the fact that the letter of approval from
the Environmental Protection Agency contained a document entitled 'Attorney's
Suggested Title Opinion' and it seems that the City Attorney does not feel he
can attest to paragraphs 2 and 5 of that document and as a result representatives
Of the city are carrying OUt letters of intent to the property owners for their
signatures advising that they will allow th~s project to go through their property,
~nd at that time it is hoped that the City Attorney will prepare the deeds
and authorize the city to advertise for bids on the project.
Mr. Thomas moved that the matter be referred to the City Manager
and the City Attorney to work out a mutually agreeable plan of action and
report back to Council by the next regular meeting of the b~y on Monday,
August 25, 1975. The ~otion was seconded by Mr. Trout and th~a~ously adopted.
CLOSING HOURS: A comunication from Mr. John N. Smiley advising
that The Pied Piper is a club designed to provide alternatives to illegal a~tivi-
ties and each member has s~ned a card to that effect, that since most members
are under the age of 18 the club must close at 10 p.m., and requesting per~/sslon
to remain open after the curfew hour of 10 p.m., was before Council.

relative to an emergency change order to the contract for construction of the
parking garage, advis£ng that some portions of the construction of the parking
garage extended lnto the alleyway connecting First Street and Second Street,
that this alleyway acts as a conduit for certain of the utility systems of
whlch one is an eight inch sanitary sewer llne which extends the full length
of the alley, that in the desigD of the building it was necessary to provide
sheet piling along the central portion of the alley in order to restrain
the movement of earth to the north of the parking garage structure while
excavation was In progress, that since construction has begun and the excavation
is in progress, it has been ascertained that the sewer line exists in a location
other tha~ anticipated by the sttrface observations made during the design investi-
gations and that an additional eight inch storm drain also exists, that the
existence of this line was not previously apparent either from the sewer ma~$
nor surface observation, that this necessitates the relocation of the sewer
line and the eight inch storm drain in order that the piling may be placed and
at the same time allow the sewer fenction to be continued during the construc-
tion operation, that both lines must be kept in operation since all the
buildings abutting the alley on the north discha~qe into both lines, and that
the City N~nager acting under the authority granted him in Section 41 o£ the
Charter of the City of Roanoke, authorized the contractor to proceed with the
relocation of the t~eo eight inch sewer lines for an estimated coat not to

the Refuse Department as an example in that there may be three or four vacancies

CITY EMPLOYEES: The City Manager sub~tted a written report truns-
~tting copy of a co~Eaunication from the Dep~rt~ent of Hous//lg and Urban Develop-
ment with respect to the hiring of a consulting firm with '?01 Funds' as con-
tained in this fiscal years budget, said communication from HUD advising that
the study is not to be an evaluation of the consultants effort but rather ~n
assessment of the implementation of the consultants proposals, that the city
is free to consider other consult~nts~ however~ HUD thinks it is unlikely that
a competent consultant can be found who can do the job as well as the original
consultants without spending more funds, that this is said because a different
consultant would have to spend a great deal of t/me acquainting themselves
with the city's operation, the management study, and the basis for those
recommendations, that the original consultants already have this background and
have established a rapport ¥1th the city's s~aff and, in sumbtr~, a review of the
effectiveness of city management as it has evolved after several years, to be
done by another consultant or citizens c~ttee~ ~ay be worth considerlng~

(Dr. Taylor absent}
Mr. Thomas mad~ reference to the above motion and advised that he
noted in the n~wspaper on September l?th that a ~mbcr of Council unilaterally
undertook to direct the City l~anagcr not to proceed to notify HUD that the
City of Roanoke would comply with its r~quest to up,ate the management study
as instructed by the Council on September 15th, the stated reason was that
the Councilman had changed hi~ n~nd and wanted to switch his vote~ that he
feels cc~ellsd to point out that the matter was decided by Council on
4 ~ 2 vote~ that i~ any member of Council wished to bring thc matter up
for rc¢onsiderat~o~ he could place it on the agenda according to thc rules
of parliamentary procedure as is the custom o£ Council~ that his point is
that as a member of Council hc feels it is an extremely dangerous precedent
for any member of Council to be able to enilatcrally instruct the City Manager
to do or not do something which is in d~rect opposition to the express wishes
of a vote of Councllj ~hat ~.o do othe~lae would place ~ CL~y ~age~ ~n

Clerk until 2 p.m.,-Friday, September 26, 1975, and to be opened before
Council at 7:30 p.m., Monday, September 29, 1975~ Mayor Webber asked if any-
one had any questions about the advertisement for bids and no representative
present raising any question, the Mayor instructed the City Clerk to proceed
with the opening of the b£ds~ whereupon, the City Clerk advised that one
bid was received in the mall on Monday morning and requested instructions
as to whether or not the bid should be opened.
Mr. Lisk inquired as to the postmark; whereupon, the City Clerk
replied that the bid was postmarked September 25, 1975.
Mr. Liskmoved that the bid be received and opened based upon

SWIMMING POOLS-PLANNING~ Council having set a public hearing
for ?~30 p.m. ~ Monday, September 29, 1975, for the purpose of considering
the locations of the two publlc sw~ng pools to be constructed during
the 1975-76 fiscal year under the Co~zamity Development Program and other
matters pertinent thereto, the matter was before the body.
The City Hanager briefly smemarized his September 2, 1975, report
to Council wherein he reiterated his reccnm~endation that the two swinging
pools be constructed In Ho~ningsido Park and Washington Park.
(For full text, see report as filed in the City Clerk's Office.)
The City l~annger also presented a report as to costs with respect
tO the widening of Horgan Avenue, S. E., and the construction, maintenance
and operation of each of the two proposed sw/unming pools.
(For full text, see report as filed in the city Clerk's Office.)
The City Manager stated that the costs involved in covering these
pools are much more than was anticipated and that his rec~ndatton is
that the pools not be covered but be constructed aa sumner pools only and
that they be used only during the summer months.
Hr. Lisk questioned whether or not it would be feasible, taking
into consideration the high price tag, to even consider constructing
the two swimming pools at this t/me and ~he City Hanager replled that he
feels there is a valid requirement for pools for the children of the city
who do not have the benefit of being members of private swim clubs and it
would be a' tragedy to deny the pools, part/cularly in the northwest area,
where there is a great desire for these pools.
Hr. John Towler, Attorney, representing southeast citizens who
are opposed to the Horn£ngside Park location, appeared before Council and
advised that the people he represents are not opposed to a swimming pool, but
only to the Morningside Perk location, but by the sa~e token, these same people
ere opposed to the expense of a pool anywhere when there are other priorities
that should be considered before the pool such as police services, etc.
Mr. Towler presented con~unicatlons in opposition to the location of the
pool in Morningside Park and expressed the opinion that he is talking about
the rights of the people living near Morningside Park, that Fallon Park
is the best location to construct the pool if a pool can be afforded, but
the real q~estion is if the city can afford two swimmi,g pools at all.
Hr. Ira Hart~, 1101 Horehead Avenue, S. E., appeared before
Council and advlsed that he is in favor of the pool, but not in locating it ·
in Horningside Park and suggested that the Muse Springs property would be an
ideal location.
Mrs. Jesse Basham, representing the Southeast Neighborhood
Alliance, appeared before Council and read a prepared statement in favor of
the Hornlngside Perk location.

Steel Co~oration, Fred ~it~ker C~y ~d ~o~oke Valley Industries,
Incorporated, appeared before Ceuncil and advised that ho has ~L~ed feelings
about the necessity of a consultant rsport~ that; on the one hand he is
satisfied that such a study Vould sho~ the unfairness of ~he utility ta~
~uaposed upon c¢~mercial and industrial users~ but on the other hand~ he is
concerned about the t:r~e element Of three to s~x months and that ~ny con-
sultant reports l;~e Idle after much work has gone into the~ urging t~at sc~ne
reasonable celling on utility taxation be :L~oosed and that Lndus~ry and
meres be advised of th~s as aeon as possible In order that they ~ay plan
accordingly,
Hr. Taubman made reference to the fact that he holds certaln
shares of stock in Roanoke Electric Steel Corporation and that he requested
an opinion fro~ the City Attorney as to whether or not there may be a conflict
of intercst~ whereupon, the City Attorney replied that in h~s opinion there is
no conflict of interest involved.
Mr. W. L. Hazelgrove~ Attorney, representing Walker Hach/ne and
Foundry Corporation, appeared before CoUncil and advocated that ~he burden of
taxation not fall so heavily on industr~, advising that he is concerned that
Council is ~mposing a tax on propane gas and propane is not a utility tax
any more than fuel oil, and that this should be given ~J~mediate attention as
to its legality; that when a confiscatory tax is imposed, a business either
goes out of business or it relocates, that w~en you cause industry to
locate er go out Of business, you have done nothing but cheat yourself$ that
he does eot believe that a study from an outside expert will, In the long ru~,
prove profitable~ that Council has to come to its own conclusions as to how
it is going to tax the people in the City of Roanoke~ suggesting that Council
spread the utility tax to the const~ner, levy a tax on fuel oil and let the
people share the burdens of government to the extent that they get the
benefits, and that industry and c(~m~erce needs to know what Council is
going to do as soon as possible in order that they ~ay plan accordingly.
Mr. Thomas moved that after the Other items on the agenda have
been addressed, that the Hayer be requested to recess the Council meet/ng
and that CoUncil meet as a Cnm{ tree of the l~hole with the a~ministration
and any other interested parties to discuss a procedural approach to the
matter. The motion was seconded by Hr. Trout.
Hr. Hubard spoke against the motion, advising that there are four
other meetlngs scheduled after the Council meeting, that Council needs facts
and figures, advice from an Lmpartial consultant, and data from the Director
of Finance before such a Meeting is held.
Hr. Thomas stated that Council needs to chart a general course of
action to let industr~ know what it can exl~et as of July 1, 1976, that the
citizens are equally concerned In that they w~nt to kno~ what ~o ~ct c~

on its side, there is no problem, but when the leak Is found on the side of

in order to determine if he has the authority to make adjustments, that If
Council provides the authorization, he can average the bi1! over a twelve
month period, but he cannot do tb/s unless he feels he has the legal auth-
ority to do so.

Mr. R. R. Quick appeared before Council and advised that he owns
an apartment cc=plax in the Vicinity of the area requested to be rezoned,
that the operations of Cycle Syste/as has never been a deterrent to him in
keeping these apartments rented, that he favors the rezoning and sees nothing

traffic will use Broadway.
Mr. Joseph p. Bounds, Attorney, appeared hefore Council and

constant threat to the lives of propert~ owners ~n the area; that there
ts heavy traffic conjestion on Broadway at the present tine; that the
noise is obnoxious and there are visual ob]actions; 'submitting that the
54 hc~es wer~ there long ~efore Cycle Systems came end these people have
~ust as much equal right to 1lye there peacefully as C~cle Systems has to
run its business; ~uesttonJ~g whether Council will be setting n precedent
that will be regretted later, and whether or not it is proper to come any
closer to the residences with the shread~ng and dismantling op~rations~
stating that he is of the opinion that the property cannot be properly re-
zoned either now or later due to provisions contained in Section 28,
315
paragraph 2 of the Zoning Ordinance and that Council must take into con-
sideration tho balancing of 54 homeowners versus one business.
Mr. C. B. Helms~ 2951 Roberts Roadt S. W. ~ appeare~ before Council

Highway Depar~nent could not have been used by C~cle Systems regardless of
whether the State took the land or not and that C~cle Syst~-~s is using
as an excuse to expend eouth~ that he is of the opinion it is not the intent
of the City Planning commission to place heavy ~anufactu~lng within a residen-
tial zone~ that Cycle Syste~s could expend east by buying businesses that have
already been established! that the rezoning is not feasible, it Is not com-
patible with other property to extend heavy manufacturing any further· it
would be detrimental to the people in the ar~a~ it would be a ca~e of
zoning, and Cycle Syste-~S cannot be forced to abide by the promises it has
made in that Council cannot grant conditional rezonings.
Mr. C. Haurice Holt, lQ01 Gardens Road, S. W., appeared before
Council and advised that he is a member of the Fire Department and has

posal of Bedford Flying Service in association with A~r Transport Associates

the question of prostitution~ ~oral conduct~ le~d and lascLvlous conduct! that
what is proposed is an Ordinance not to regulatev but to proh~bit! that this
Ordinance would effectively take wc~en out of the massage business! that if
Council is after prostitution or /~oral conduct, then it ia su~tted that
the Ordinances and laws now on the books are sufficient! raising the question
that as of the first of the year at least seven ~assage pa=lots have been licensed
and now in effect they are going to be proh~bited because it was known what
the operations were at the time they were licensedl that with reference to
the health Ordinance, the massage parlor owners feel there is noth/ng wrong
with a proper reasonable health regulation Ordinance, assl~[ng that is the purpose
for it, but If the purpose for it is undue harrass~-nt, then there is a remedy for
that, so they are not concerned about that particular Ordinance, but the Ordinance
prohibiting massages between l~embers Of the opposite sex will be held to be un-
constitutional and will be challenged if adoptedJ and that with the existing laws
this Ordinance is not necessary and therefore, requested that Council vote no to
this proposed Ordinance and direct that a continued study be ~ade as to e feasible

Dr. John Jofko appeared b~fore Council and advised that he has not
heard a definition of what a message parlor is and he would like for the
attorneys for the message parlors to provide a dofllaition to include th~ purpose
of the treatmaent that is beJulg 9review&, ~ ~ of a~uistration and w-nat
general welfare is expected from su=h treat_mentl advising that if a message
parlor is a business it should be regulated as a business and if it is a semi-
professional advocation then there should be sc~e requirements in this
respect such as there are for other certifying boards~ that if one tends to have
personal contact with another human being such as a beautician, barber Or a phy-
slcal therapist, etc., they must be qualified through the method of study and
certification by a recognized state board if it is to be de,ed as a semi-
professional lnstitutionl that if it is a business, then it should be classified
as a business and apply th~ business criteria to lt~ that if there is going to
be personal contact between tho masseuse or the masseure wlth a client the contact
should have certain health requirenlents; that there should be a method of
certification to make 2ute that the general public is well protected against
contagious diseases~ that there should be periodic recertification at certain
specified intervals of time as it is deemed necessary for the protection of the
general welfare of the public and it should be ander the control of the local
board of health, not a private physician, or any physician within the state~
and there should be reasonable sanitary inspection of the facilities wherein
this service is provided.
Mr. Robert F. Rider, CO~nonwealth's Attorney, appeared before Council
as a spokesman for and advocate for any Ordinance that would allow his o~fice to
regulate and prosecute where necessary violations of the law, advising that
h~s office has studied the re~ulations ~h~ough o~d~nances that have been
prepared by the City Attorney's Office and would rec~d strongly that
Council adopt both Ordinances, that the Ordinances have boen held censtitutional
In other localities by higher coucts and that the Cca~on~ealth~s Attorney's
Office will use all its vigor to prosecute those violations which are brought
to its attention.
~r. Luther Overetreet, Jr., appeared halore CoUncil and presented a
communication irc~ the Pastor and ac~e 450 plus __~e_m~ers o£ the Victory Baptist
Church in opposition to the massage parlors in the Wllliamson Road area or uny-
where else in this city or countrym vhether it be opereted by & male or female.

With reference to the question raised by Dr. Jofko as to the
definition of a massage parlor, purposes of treatment and method of administra-
tion, Iir. Dallas Patterson, Attorney, appeared before Council end stated that he
could not make any comments about Dr. Jofko~s query, that the lenguage of the
massage parlor could be read In the proposed Ordinance before CoUncil; that as
far as the medical aspects are concerned, he does not think there is any strong
opposition to that particular proposal, but it is the method of implementing
this proposal that might be questionedI that the only thing he requests is that
Council read these proposed Ordinances and pass somathle9 that not only can be
enforced and put into effect, but something that is equitable in the manner in
which it is administered.
The city Manager submitted a written report documenting the unequivocal
support of the a/imi_nistration to the City Attorney's proposed amendments to the
city code.

Hr. Llsk requested that th~ Director of Ptna~ce be Instructed to
prepare a co~posite of what revenue sharing ~oney has meant to the City of
Roanoke in the past year since many of the local municipal governments are
making an appearance before the Congress ~n reference to an accountability
of the revenue sharing program ~n an effort tO prove to Congress that local
governing bodies have had good stewardship in reference to utilizing this
money to the best advantage of the cc~maunity.
The Diector of Finance advised that city money has been spent
as general fund revenue, that We have no projections that can be put into
a report that will say differently because we have reported to the federal
government that we spent th~ money for three purposesw viz: policemen salaries,
firemen salaries and refuse collect~en salaries and there is noth/ng else.
Hr. Lisk stated that we st~ll can point out that the money has
been used for these three categories, but by doing so we have been able to
~rovide other programs to the c~untty that are beneficial and did not cc~e
~nder ~atching funds, that the twenty per cent allocation for human services
is a category that would be i~eal to pinpoint and there are others wherein
the city did not get matching funds that we can also take credit, programs we
could not have done if we did not have additional revenue sharing monies coming
in.
381
The Dl~ecto~ of Finance stated that vhen Im documents this money
going into the human service programs, then he opens up problems as far as
the federal government coming in to audit those funde~ that the goye~0ent
wants to trace these funds into the various agencies and then they make require-
manta on these agencies and 1£ these agencies do not meet those re~uirements,
the government can cc~e hack to the City of Roanoke to 9et their money returned
and this ia sc~ething We t~y to avoid.

TAXE$~ The City Manager, City Attorney and Director of Finance
submitted a written report relative to ~_~dment of the utility tax Oral/hence
as proposed by Council as a Committee Of the ~le ~n January 16, 1976,
advising that it appears to the committee that an amendment of the
Ordinance along the line set out as ~-m~-!p. le (c} in the December 1, 1975~
committee report, i.e.~ so that the first $5,000.00 of any month/y hilling be
taxed at a 20% rate and that all excess of such hilling over $5,000.00 be
taxed at a rate of five per cent, would provide the most equitable solution to
the problem.
(For full text, see report as filed In the City Clerk*s Office.}
Mr. Frank Wi Rogers, Jr., Attorney, representing Roanoke Electric
-~teel~ The Fred lthlttaker Company and Roanoke Valley Industries, Incorporated,
appeared before the body 'and requested that Council consider a $1,000.00 per
month m~ytm~m ceiiing and, in return, bis clients would be willing to put off
the effective date until July 1, 1976, that the alternative as =eec~__~-_ded by
the ¢~tttee would not he acceptable to bis clients, and that sooner or later
the city must face the faut that the utility tax has been abused in that it
was never intended to be used to
After a discussion of the matter, Mr. Ga=land moved that the utility
tax Ordinance be amended to provide that the utility service tax shall in no
event exceed $1000.0~ per month per utility service, effective ~uly 1, 1976,
and that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare the proper measure
accordingly. The motion was seconded by Mr. Trout.
Mr. Thomas stated that the tax should he reduced but any decision
should be delayed until receipt of the report of the tax consultant relative
to the overall picture of city revenue.
The Director of Finance stated that the motion as proposed by
Mr. Garland if adopted would cost the city approxi~ately $560,000.00 loss
in revenue in the new fiscal year beginning July I, ~9~6.
Mr. Hubard offered e substitute motion that Council state its intent
that during the next fiscal year and thereafter Couacil intends not to tax any
one individual in this city on utilities at any one site in excess of $50,000.00
per year. The motion was seconded by Mr. Thomas.
Mr. Wilbttr L. Hazelgrove~ Attorney~ appeared before Council end stated
that he shares the opinion of Mr. Rogers and we are talking about an inequi-
table if not ttnlawful tax.
Upon a roll call vote, the substitute motion was lost by the following

SCHOOLS-ANNEXATION: Dr. M. Don Pack, Superintendent of Roanoke
City Schools, appeared before Cooncil and stated that the School Board is
concerned about architectural planning t~me for the school capital improve-
ments program, that he is not requesting an appropriation of any kind but the
consideration, support or any kind of guidance from Council in connection
with allowing architectural plan~ing for the facili~ies' ~n the city, particularly
the two high schools, that he is thinking in terms of 's~xty to ninety days
lead t~e, and that the Board is very concer~ed time wise in that it has no
funds for th~ employment Of thege architects.
The Director 0[ Finance stated that the most orderly way of handling
the situation would be f~r the Council to adopt an Ordinance providing for
a bond issue for the $10,815,000.00.
Hr. Lisk questioned whether additional monies will have to be appropriate
for land for the W£11iam Fleming and Ruffner ~nprovements~ whereupon, Dr. Pack
446
stated that these funds are included ~n the deferred requeat made by the School
Board to Council under date of Februar~ 5, 1976, ~n the total amount of $1,627~50{
Dr. Pack further stated that the city o~ns enough property at Nllliam
Fleming and Ruffner to build the s~ructu~es but the property between William
Fleming and Ruffner should be purchased for the protection of the two schoole
to meet s~ate requirements as to total amount of acreage.
~r. Hubard questioned Dr. Pack that ~n the event the city appropriates
the money to build the additions to Ruffner and William Fl~m~ng, will the to,al
acreage meet state requirements! whereupon~ Dr. Pack replied in the negativem
stat/rig that there will be a shortage of acreage, that the William Fleming
a~d Ruffner properties are adjacent and he Is not certain if the shortage t$
on the William Fiem/ng or Ruffner side, that he wll! check into this with the
architects to see which school will be short how ma~y acres~ that at this tithe
he believes it may be auffner and he will present this in£ormatton to Council
at its next regular meeting on Monday~ ~arch l~ 1976.
The City Attorney made reference to thc fact that someone is taking
a chance in e~loying the architects before the /mprovements have received
full approval of the annexation court~ whereuponm Dr. Pack stated that he does
not feel there is any chance of the court ordering less than $10~815,000.00
in dollars and cents and the City Attorney added that the types of facilitles
are matters that the court should pass on.
The City Attorney further stated that Council has not specified
the type of bond issue it desires whether it be by referendum or through the
Public Finance Act and this will need to be decided upon by Council prior to
preparation of such a measure.
Mr. Bubard asked the City Attorney if there ts any reason why
Councll should not proceed with the adop~on of the proposed Resolution
approving the public school capital L~provement program and directing
that certain court approval be sought and obtained, and next week, if
Council so desires~ it could adopt a measure providing for the bond issue.
The City Attorney replied that he could see no reason why Council
should not adopt the Resolution, that neither the School Board or Councll
can enter into contract unless there is money appropr£ated for the purpose.
Mr. Hubard then offered the following Resolution=
(922731) A ~EZOLUTION approving a public school Capital Lmprove-
ment Program proposed by Roanoke City School Board and directing that
certain court approval of said program be sought and obtained.

Hr. H. R. Quick which was presented to Council at its last regular meeting
relative to the issuance of building permits In the newly annexed a~ea of the
city before said area has bean properly rezoned under stated provisions of the
Zoning Ordinance, advising that after meeting with the City Hanager, Assistant
City Hanager, Hanager Of City planning and others in an effort to establish an
interim procedure whereby said building permits might be issued prior to orderly
reclassification of the area, they are of the opinion that the proper place to
make such provision to provide for these interlI~ measures would be by amendment
to the above Ordinance to provide for conditional building permits in the newly
annexed territory, and proposing that this amendment bo entitled Section 114.10,
Conditional Buildin~ Permits - Annexed Territory, and be incorporated into the
above Ordinance amending the City Code to incorporate the 1975 Accumulative
Supplement to the Virginia Unifom Statewide Building Code.
(For full text, see proposed amendment as filed in the City

with the Zoning Ordlnanca be complied with in the rezoning of this land.
(For full text, see report as filed in the City Clerk*s Office.)
Councilman Thomas presented a communication proposing certain steps

rec~mandations of Mr. 1~. R. Quick and Hr. Rudy K. Cox and to establish a policy
which will alleviate any complexlties in the use and develol~ment of the
annexed territory and also to bring the property on the tax roles of the City
of Roanoke at its anticipated use existing at the ti_me of a~nexation and is the
basis upon which real estate tax revenue was predicated for annexation payment
purposes.
(For full text, see communication as filed in the City Clerk's Office.)
Mr. Quick appeared before the body a~d stated that he along with twenty
or thirty other people owning lots in the annexed area that needed to be
rezoned met with the City Planning Commission in early January and were
assured at that time that this metter would be handled expeditiously, that it
would be far more acceptable to him to come into the city with the type of
zoning he had when he was in the county and be able to operate under that zoning
for the first year, that after that, if the city feels the zoning the county
gave him is contrary to the best interest of the city, it should be the burden
487
of the city to challenge that zon~ngw that ever~ene vho favored annexation felt
they would not be penalized by the fac~. that they vere annexed, thai the
o£ a conditional butld:~tg pe.-~it viii b~ of no value 20 him in that he cannot
