IN THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROANOKE, VIRGINIA,
The 7th day of February, 2005.
No. 36952~020705.
A RESOLUTION urging the Governor and the General Assembly to
make transportation a primary focus of the 2005 Session of the General
Assembly.
WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Roanoke has long supported the
use of dedicated State funds for stable and long term solutions for
transportation funding problems;
WHEREAS, the Commonwealth Transportation Board has documented
that more than $200 billion is needed to meet Virginia's transportation
needs over the next 20 years;
WHEREAS, Virginia's Transportation Trust Fund (TTF) supports
funding of the transportation modes of highways, rail and public
transportation, aviation, and ports;
WHEREAS, the TTF has not had a significant infusion of dedicated
funds since its establishment in 1986;
256
WHEREAS, the TTF consists of a dedicated portion of the State sales
and use tax, the dedicated portions of the State tax on fuels, and other
transportation related fees, includin9 the DMV registration fee and the
motor vehicle sales and use tax;
WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Roanoke recognizes that a
healthy transportation program supported with dedicated funds protects
core government services, including K-12 education and public safety, that
rely on State general funds;
WHEREAS, as the State demonstrated with the enactment of the
Virginia Transportation Act (VTA) in 2000, relying on State general funds to
support transportation funding is akin to mortgaging a new home solely
on high interest credit cards: the capital is costly, and the debt ultimately
must be paid in another fashion;
WHEREAS, in the case of the VTA, the debt was transferred back to
the TTF, thus increasing current transportation debt to fourteen per cent of
total transportation spending (as opposed to approximately one per cent in
1989), and reducing the amount of funding available for construction;
WHEREAS, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)
estimates that total transportation revenue growth will average only two
per cent for the next six years;
WHEREAS, State transportation revenue flowing to the primary,
secondary, and urban systems will continue to decline to a critical point
without an infusion of new dedicated funds;
WHEREAS, in fiscal year 2005, only 35 per cent of VDOT's
construction funding is allocated to the interstate, primary, secondary and
urban systems, commonly referred to as systems construction, as
compared to the 58 per cent allocated to systems construction in 1989;
WHEREAS, systems construction will decrease on average by 6.7 per
cent during each of the next five years, with VDOT expected to spend $792
million on systems construction in Fiscal Year 2005, but only $560.3
million in Fiscal Year 2010;
WHEREAS, the reason for the precipitous drop-off in transportation
dollars for construction since the early 1990s is due to several factors,
including the increased cost of maintenance of an aging infrastructure, an
increase in the number of highway users, and an increase in the funds
required to pay off debt that was issued in the 1990s;
WHEREAS, the construction dollars that are available do not go as far
as they once did because of the rise in construction costs;
257
WHEREAS, local officials across Virginia generally agree that
additional state funding is required for transportation, including new and
increased dedicated funds;
WHEREAS, local officials support funding solutions that are systemic
and sustainable on a long term basis, as opposed to one-time transfers and
short term infusions that only mask the funding problems;
WHEREAS, the Commonwealth is experiencing disinvestment in its
transportation infrastructure. Absent a major infusion of new and
sustained investment in transportation, Virginia faces a transportation
crisis that will hinder economic growth and profoundly and negatively
affect the quality of life of all residents; and
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Planning Organization's Long-Range
Transportation Plan for the City of Roanoke identifies transportation needs
of nearly $100 million over the next 20 years, and VDOT's current Six-Year
Improvement Plan includes projects to improve lOth Street, improve Wonju
Street, and to provide a connection between Hollins Road and 13th Street
as well as to provide a number of projects such as signal and ITS
Improvements, intersection and miscellaneous spot improvements,
mobility and accessibility improvements and transit improvements that
will provide significant localized benefits; all of which require a sustainable
source of funding over an extended period of time.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of
Roanoke, Virginia, as follows:
1. The Council of the City of Roanoke calls upon the Governor and
the General Assembly to make transportation a primary focus of the 2005
Session of the General Assembly, and strongly urges them to aggressively
promote and fund public transit alternatives and to strive for equity in
fundraising for transportation.
2. The City Clerk is directed to send attested copies of this
resolution to the Honorable Mark Warner, Governor, the Honorable
Whittington W. Clement, Chairman of the Commonwealth Transportation
Board, the Honorable John S. Edwards, Member, Senate of Virginia, the
Honorable Onzlee Ware, Member, House of Delegates, and to the Honorable
William Fralin, Member, House of Delegates.

The 21 s~ day of March, 2005.
No. 36996-032105.
A RESOLUTION expressing the Council's opposition to a proposal by the
FAA to close the Air Traffic Control Tower located at Roanoke Regional Airport
between the hours of midnight and 5:00 a.m.
WHEREAS, Roanoke's Air Traffic Control Tower ("Roanoke Tower") was
operated at the Roanoke Regional Airport on a 24-hour basis for many years
until its hours were limited by the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") after
the air traffic controllers' strike in the early 1980s;
WHEREAS, in order to protect the public and promote economic
development in the air service area served by the Roanoke Regional Airport,
which area consists of 19 counties and contains more than three-quarters of a
million people, the Roanoke Regional Airport Commission, the City of Roanoke,
the County of Roanoke, and federal legislative representatives worked tirelessly
for more than fifteen years to restore 24-hour tower operations;
32O
WHEREAS, the 24-hour local coverage was finally re-established at the
Roanoke Regional Airport in July 1999;
WHEREAS, the FAA has recently proposed that the Roanoke Tower again
be closed between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m. as a way to cut costs;
WHEREAS, the safety and terrain issues present in 1999 remain today;
and
WHEREAS, closing the Roanoke Tower during early morning hours would
jeopardize unnecessarily public safety and harm economic development in the
Roanoke Valley and in the region in the following ways:
1. The Roanoke Regional Airport is the largest airport and
the Roanoke Tower is the only 24-hour tower in western and
southwestern Virginia; the Roanoke Tower also is responsible for
handling late night and early morning air traffic for the Lynchburg
Regional Airport;
2. In order to provide for the well-being of pilots,
passengers, and the citizens of the Roanoke Regional Airport air
service area, it is most desirable and safer to have controllers in the
Roanoke Tower at all times who can hear pilots and see the airfield
in order to assist aircraft in difficulty and respond to emergency
situations;
3. The same level of safety and response to aviation users
of Roanoke Regional Airport and Lynchburg Regional Airport
cannot be provided by controllers located at the FAA's Washington
Center, which is over 200 miles from Roanoke, available only by
radio and already serving many other air service areas and
hundreds of aircraft;
4. The Roanoke Regional Airport has cargo carriers
operating large aircraft, general aviation aircraft, and occasional
large jet charters, including, among others, aircraft carrying
Virginia Tech athletic teams, which operate between the hours of
midnight and 5:00 a.m. in reliance on the Roanoke Tower being in
operation;
5. Although passenger aircraft frequently need to and do
land at the Roanoke Regional Airport after midnight due to
schedules, or weather and mechanical delays, passenger carriers
will refuse to land at such times if the Roanoke Tower is closed;
6. Having the Roanoke Tower open and available to
handle passenger and cargo aircraft on a 24-hour basis is vital to
economic development and the growth of the Roanoke Valley; and
321
7. Due to visibility problems and the applicable FAA
regulations, if the hours of the Roanoke Tower are limited, land
between the Roanoke Tower and the intersection .of the runways
that is critical for future airport growth cannot be developed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Roanoke
as follows:
1. The Council adopts this means of expressing its strongest possible
opposition to the FAA's proposal to close the Air Traffic Control Tower located
at Roanoke Regional Airport between the hours of midnight and 5:00 a.m.
2. The City Clerk is directed to forward an attested copy of this
resolution to The Honorable John Warner, The Honorable George Allen, The
Honorable Robert W. Goodlatte, The Honorable Rick Boucher, The Honorable
Virgil Goode, FAA Administrator Marion C. Blakey, The Honorable Chairman and
Members of Roanoke County Board of Supervisors, The Honorable Mayor and
Members of Lynchburg City Council, and the governing bodies of the
jurisdictions served by the Roanoke Regional Airport.

5TORMWA TER DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS
Secll.3-1. In General
The City of Roanoke finds that the uncontrolled discharge of
pollutants to the City's storm sewer system has an adverse
impact on the water quality of the receiving waters. I/licit
discharges of substances other than stormwater could result in
a sign/f/cant source of pollutants to the City's storm sewer

Act, commonly known as the Clean Water Act, established the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDE$)
Program, which requires permits for discharges from municipal
storm sewer systems into the waters of the United States. The
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has
promulgated regulations implementing the NPDES program.
Moreover, the EPA has authorized the Commonwealth of
Virginia to issue NPDE5 permits under the Virginia Pollutant
Discharge and Elimination System (VPDE$) permit system. The
VPDES regulations for stormwater discharges requires certain
municipalities, including the City of Roanoke, to control the
contribution of pollutants to its storm sewer system, to prohibit
illicit discharges to its storm sewer system, and to inspect,
monitor, and enforce the prohibitions of illicit discharges to its
storm sewer system.

system and to prohibit the illicit discharge of non-stormwater
to the City's storm sewer system, subject to certain exceptions.

illicit discharges to the City's storm sewer system, and to
establish inspections and monitoring procedures to ensure
compliance with this chapter.
