Lea, Council Member Honorable Gwendolyn W. Mason, Council Member Honorable Brian J. Wishneff, Council Member " Subject: Recommendation for Downtown Parking System Rate Increases Dear Mayor Harris and Members of City Council: On Tuesday, July 31, 2007, City staff hosted 2 public information meetings at the Science Museum of Western Virginia, to provide information regarding the proposed fiscal year 2008 parking rate increases and to facilitate public discussion of potential alternative funding / rate solutions in support of the parking enterprise fund. Approximately 25 citizens attended the two sessions. City staff was also in attendance as well as representatives of the City's parking system management company, Lanier Parking Systems. The powerpoint presentation previously sent to City Council was shared with the attendees outlining. basic information about the City's parking system's size and utilization, the comparative rate structure, . budgetary and financial information, capital construction needs, and related debt service and rate increase scenarios for the parking fund. Upon completion of the presentation, staff reviewed with the audience a variety of suggested .funding / revenue enhancement proposals that had been received, and asked for additional suggestions and feedback. A summary of that information is outlined below: 1. Suggestions Received From Public prior to the July 31" Public Meetings: · Provide 1" and/or 2nd hour free daily/hourly parking. (would require additional hourly rate increases of as much as 25% to be revenue neutral) I, ,~ o ProVide pre-paid yearly passes. (depending on rate and utilization, could have a substantial adverse impact on revenues generated from hourly parking) 8 Increase downtown service district tax to support parking fund, (to cover needed revenue for debt service support would require an additional 9 cents/$100 of assessed value on the current rate of 10<1:) · Investigate selling advertisements inside parking garages, (staff needs further time to evaluate potential revenue enhancements from this suggestion; although it appears this would generate less than $5,000 a year. · Apply on-street parking ticket revenue to support the parking fund's debt service needs. Currently net revenue derived from fine/ticket collections is approximately $229,000.) -, 2. Suggestions Received From Public durinq and after the July 31" Public Meetings: · Reinstate on-street metered parking in downtown to increase overall parking revenue to support garage construction debt service costs. (meters removed in 1 999) 8 Subsidize the parking enterprise fund through transfer of funds from the General Fund. · Provide a differential student parking rate for the Higher Education Lot and Gainsboro Garages than those proposed. · Increase utilization and extent of business supported validated customer parking. · Develop a 'contracted' payment process for event parking, paid directly by event promoters/operators in downtown in lieu of the proposed $2 event rate for parking patrons at certain parking facilities. · Have non-profit organizations provide support to the parking fund in lieu of payment by the public and/or customers attending events. · Implement a tiered real estate tax rate system, and have additional revenue raised used to support the parking system. · Increase daily parking rates Monday-Friday to raise additional revenue in order to keep nights and weekends free. Staff evaluated all comments/suggestions submitted prior to, during, and subsequent to, the meetings as part of the development of its recommendation on rate changes to the City Council. Based on upon the comments received, and to ensure the appropriate rate structure to meet anticipated revenue needs for Fiscal Year 2008, the follOWing rate structure is recommerided: .. Implement previously adopted rate increases: increase daily parking rates from O. 75/half hour to 1.00/half hour (Center in Square, Church Avenue, Tower, and Market Garages) Increase daily parking rates from .50/hour to .50/half hour (Gainsboro Garage and Higher Ed Center Lot) Increase monthly rate for reserved spaces from $85 to $90; unreserved spaces from $65 to $70 (Center In the Square Garage) Evening Rates (4pm-9pm) (Monday through Saturday): o Center In the Square Garage: $3 o Market Garage, Tower Garage: $2 '. Evening Rates (4pm-9pm) (Monday through Friday): o Gainsboro Garage: $2 · Implement Modifications to Previously Adopted Rate Increases: NO DAY RATES on Saturday/Sunday in any facilities (evening rates in effect beginning at 4pm on Saturdays in Tower, Market and Center In The Square Garages) Delay implementation of an Event Rate until July 2008, to give event organizers and operators time to plan for such a rate. Staff will further investigate the' suggestion made by EventZone during public sessions to devise a 'single/flat' payment from event organizer to parking system per event for use of certain facilities at no charge by patrons/volunteers/guests. $1 discount with student ID at the Gainsboro Garage Evenings (Monday through Friday 4pm - 9pm) If approved, these rate adjustments would go into affect on October 1, 2007, and would result in approximately $183,000 of the $245,000 previously anticipated in the FY-08 budget. This revenue, in addition to $62,000 previously set aside within the parking fund would be sufficient to support the additional operating and debt service expenses for the Campbell Avenue parking facility and would not require monies from the General Fund. j (f 'Darlene L.

On June 18, 2007, an Amended Application No.1 and an Amended Application No.2 were filed, requesting that the aforesaid properties be rezoned with the proffer as set forth in the respective applications. At the time of the filings, the subject property was zoned MX, Mixed Use District. . On July 19, 2007, the Planning Commission recommended by a 5-0 vote (Messrs. Chrisman and Williams were absent) that the property be rezoned to I-I, Industrial District, subject to a proffer proposed by the applicant. At a public hearing held on August 20, 2007, City Council voted to rezone the property as requested by Plantation and Kanter, and as recommended by the Planning Commission. While it correctly indicates that the property is to be rezoned to I-I, Industrial District, in the title paragraph, the ordinance that was adopted uses an incorrect district designation elsewhere.

Trinkle, Vice Mayor Honorable Alfred T. Dowe, Jr., Council Member Honorable Beverly T. Fitzpatrick, Jr., Council Member Honorable Sherman P. Lea, Council Member Honorable Gwendolyn W. Mason, Council Member Honorable Brian J. Wishneff, Council Member Dear Mayor Harris and Members of City Council: Subject: July Financial Report The adopted budget for fiscal year 2008 totals $2S2.6 million representing a S.4% increase over the previous year. Additional revenue sources include a projected increase in Real Estate and Personal Property tax revenue, as well as projected growth in various local taxes including Sales tax, Business License tax, and Prepared Food and Beverage tax. The aforementioned additional revenues will be allocated in part to provide more funding to the Roanoke City Public Schools, for capital maintenance and equipment replacement, to enhance services to citizens, and to fund salary increases for employees. Furthermore, the fiscal year 2008 budget provides for greater social services program funding and the resources necessary to meet the current year's debt service requirements. The Commonwealth recently announced that reductions in funding to localities will be necessary as a result of a shortfall in state revenues. Reductions of five percent are planned. Some state- funded programs will be exempted including mandated Comprehensive Services Act programs and certain others. More information will be available from the state in the fall, and we will recommend adjustments to our budget if needed. The City's funding from the Commonwealth totals $66.3 million. This financial report covers the first month of activity for fiscal year 2008. The first quarter of the year is difficult to analyze due to the relatively small volume of activity which occurs within the early months. Additionally, the accrual of certain revenues and expenditures into the prior year, and accompanying accounting..reversal, cause some categories to have very small or even negative balances in the early months of fiscal year 2008 until current year activity exceeds the impact of the reversals. The following narrative provides commentary on the significant events of this first fiscal month. Revenues Revenues for July are negative in total, as well as in several of the individual categories, due to the accrual of amounts to the prior year without collections in the current year to offset the impact of Honorable Mayor and Members of Council September 4,2007 Page 2 the reversed accrual. Some revenues, whether positive or negative in balance, have additional variances from the prior year and are addressed as follows: General Property Taxes decreased as a result of the difference in the accrual reversals. This variance is primarily seen in the Personal Property Tax area. Collections for the months of July and August are accrued back to the prior fiscal year in accordance with governmental accounting standards. The amounts accrued back to FY07 were greater than in FY06. Therefore, the reversal affecting FY08 is a higher negative amount than in the previous year. The City should start recognizing an increase in Personal Property taxes later in the year: as the fiscal year 2008 budget increased 9.1 %, due in part to the decrease in the personal property tax relief percentage. Real Estate taxes are expected to provide growth of 6.3% Other Local Taxes decreased in total due in part to the aforementioned impact of accrual reversals. In FY07, the Cigarette Tax increased from 27 cents to 54 cents per pack. July FY07 revenue was low because merchants purchased tax stamps at the end of fiscal year 2006 in anticipation of the higher rates for the new year. In addition, the accrual reversal of the new state-established Telecommunications Tax program which went into effect January 1, 2007, caused a negative balance in this category for July. This revenue is received two months after the period for which it is applicable. The timing difference willlevei out later in the year and be eliminated at the close of fiscal year 2008 with year end accruals. Permits, Fees and Licenses decreased from fiscal year 2007. The decline is due to lower building inspection permit fees recognized over the same period last year. The City experienced an active construction market during fiscal year 2006 which carried over into July and August fiscal year 2007. The revenue recognized in July of fiscal year 2008 is more indicative of the average collected in September through June of fiscal year 2007. Fines and Forfeitures increased due in part to higher collections of delinquent tax fees. Higher revenue from General District Court fines and Parking Tickets also contributed to the variance. Revenue from the Use of Money and Property decreased over the prior year due primarily to the timing of billings for the Commonwealth Building rental as well as other rentals. Charges for Services increased compared to the same time period in fiscal year 2007. This is due primarily to large collections of Emergency Medical Services charges. The City is continuing to benefit from the positive collection results of its third party billing company. The current period revenue included collections of prior year's accounts dating back to November 2005. Also contributing to the variance is an increase in Weed Cutting and Demolition billings. . I~ ',: {:' ..':- ,-Ij , ~ : -I '~ .: 'I' i ,:.:; Internal Services decreased due to a diffe'rence in Roanoke Regional Airport fire station billing accrued in relation to the prior fiscal year. Also contributing to the variance is a decrease in the School Share of Comprehensive Services Act revenue. Miscellaneous Revenue increased as a result of a timing difference in City-sponsored tax sales and the related collections that follow. These tax sales are periodic, and collections fluctuate from year to year as well as month to month. In addition, collections were received in July fiscal year Honorable Mayor and Members of Council September 4, 2007 Page 3 2008 for the Building New Partnership Conference to be held this September. In fiscal year 2007, collections were not received until much later in the fiscal year. Expenditures The fiscal year 2008 expenditure budget includes funding of approximately $1.6 million to cover contracts and purchase orders made during fiscal year 2007 but not paid by the end of that year. City Council approved re-appropriation of this funding when adopting the General Fund budget in May. Additionally, General Fund expenditures of all departments are affected by a 4% pay raise effective July 1, 2007. Other than these items which affect most categories of expenditures, variances between fiscal year 2007 and fiscal year 2008 are addressed as follows: Public Safety costs increased due to a timing difference in two large encumbrances, the Jail food services contract and the Wearing Apparel contract. They were both encumbered in July this year, but not until August last fiscal year. Public Works costs decreased as a result of the contract for Paving Program expenditures being encumbered earlier in the previous year than in the current. Health and Welfare increased due to higher foster care, special needs adoption, and daycare services expenditures as a result of a higher rate of child placement. Parks, Recreation and Cultural expenditures increased as a result of a timing difference in payments providing funding to various cultural agencies through the Roanoke Arts Commission cost center. Expenditures for the Arts Festival Anniversary Celebration also contributed to the variance, as fiscal year 2007 had no activity in this area until November. In addition there is a timing difference in the encumbrance of the cleaning contract for the Libraries as well as additional personnel costs. Community Development costs increased due to earlier payments to the Convention and Visitors Bureau, Marketing Initiative, Center in the Square, Fifth Planning District, Building New Partnerships, and Virginia First Cities Coalition than in the prior fiscal year. Transfer to Debt Service Fund expenditures decreased due to a timing difference in the transfer of funds for the August 1" debt service payments. Nondepartmental expenditures increased primarily due to an increase in the transfer to the Capital Project Fund for cash funding of the capital improvement program for fiscal year 2008. In fiscal year 2007, less funding was transferred, and the transfer was not made until October. Sincerely, 4~A.IW Jesse A.
