Roanoke, Virginia (the "City"), and on land contiguous thereto, and which Project will be owned
by the Borrower and leased to and operated by Blue Ridge Behavioral Healthcare, and the

WHEREAS, it has been requested that the Council of the City (the "Councir') approve
the financing of the Project and the issuance of the Bonds, and such approval is required for

Re: Industrial Development Authority of the Town of Clifton Forge, Virginia;
Financing for BIue Ridge Behavioral Healthcare, Inc.
Dear Mayor Harris and Members of Council:
On behalf of Blue Ridge Behavioral Healthcare, Inc. (the "Borrower") we would request
that City Council adopt a resolution approving the issuance by the Industrial Development
Authority of the Town of Clifton Forge, Virginia (the "Authority") of one or more of its revenue
bonds or notes (the "Bonds") for the benefit of the Borrower. The Bonds would be issued to
finance the construction, renovation and equipping of two buildings located on Hollins Road,
N.E. in the City.
The Bonds are intended to be issued by the Authority on a tax -exempt basis. The Bonds
would be issued by the Authority, and not by the City's industrial development authority, in
order that the Bonds might be "qualified tax-exempt obligations" under the Internal Revenue
Code. The volume of bonds that will be issued by the City itself during 2007 is such that the
Bonds would not be qualified tax-exempt obligations if issued by the City's industrial
development authority. The Town of Clifton Forge, on the other hand, is not expected to issue
bonds in significant volume during 2007, so the Borrower has requested that the Authority
participate in the financing.
Under the Internal Revenue Code, the interest on bonds issued by an authority for the
benefit of a charitable organization will be tax-exempt only if the issuance of the bonds is
approved by the governing body of the locality which created the issuing authority and by the
governing body of the locality in which the financed facility is located. As the Borrower's
facility is located in the City, approval of the financing by City Council is necessary for the
Bonds to be issued on a tax-exempt basis.
The proposed resolution to be adopted by the City Council would provide this approval.
In addition, the resolution would provide that City Council concurs with the Authority's
resolution relating to the bonds, as is necessary under state law to allow the Authority to finance
a facility located in the City.

Dear Mayor Harris and Members of City Council:
Subject: G.R.E.A.T. grant
Background:
The Gang Resistance Education and Training (GREAT) program is a
national project aimed at preventing at risk youth from gang involvement.
The program is modeled after the successful DARE program and contains
many different components. The police department applied for grant
funding to be used to provide instruction and training in three
components under the GREAT program banner.
On August 31 the police department was granted $31,900 by the U. S.
Department of Criminal Justice to be used for implementation for three
GREAT components. The funding will be used for the establishment of
the middle school training component to be provided to all 7th grade
students, the family component to be provided to at risk families and the
summer component which will be taught at the annual summer Challenge
Camp. In addition to the training, granted GREAT funds will provide for
instructor training and promotional items. There is a required $3,988
match that will be met through in kind services.
Recommended Action:
Accept the GREAT grant described above and authorize the City Manager
to execute the grant agreement and any related documents, in such form
as approved by the City Attorney.
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council

Subject: Justice Assistance Grant
The Roanoke Police Department's community based bicycle patrol
program has been funded over the last several years by various grant
programs. The last such program was the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice
Assistance Grant UAG). This funding opportunity allows for community
policing programs similar to our current bike patrol initiative.
On August 31, the Police Department was awarded $135,641 under the
JAG funding formula by the U. S. Department of Criminal Justice. This
opportunity is to be used for the continuation of the successful bicycle
patrol program. The funding will provide equipment and allow for bicycle
patrols in neighborhoods experiencing unpleasant conditions which
reduce the quality of life. Operation of the program will be sustained at
the high level the community has come to expect.
Recommended Action:
Accept the Edward BY[ll~':l Memorial Justice Assistance Grant UAG)
described above and authorize the City Manager to execute the grant
agreement and any related documents, in such form as approved by the
City Attorney. Appropriate funding of $135,641 as outlined below and

Dear Mayor Harris and Members of City Council:
Subject:
EPA Brownfield Revolving
Loan Fund Grant Acceptance
Background:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administers a Brownfield
Redevelopment Program that annually awards grants to states, tribal
authorities, and local governments. In May 2007, EPA announced an award to
the City of Roanoke for a revolving loan fund grant in the amount of
$1,000,000. The City has now received the cooperative agreement from the
EPA, and we can commence execution and implementation of the agreement.
Funds will be used to provide seed money to start cleanup activities on
contaminated sites within the City of Roanoke. Low or no interest loans would
be issued to private entities during the construction phase of a project. The
fund would be paid back after permanent financing was in place. A limited
number of sub-grants to non-profit agencies improving the South Jefferson
Redevelopment Area or providing facilities as part of the Inviting Roanoke
Back to the River initiative could be available.
The EconomJ~ Qevelopment Authority of the City of Roanoke, Virginia, (EDA)
has agreed ittVserve as the conduit between the City and loan recipients. A
Revolving Loan Fund Management Team will be established to provide
strategic direction and evaluate development projects, while providing
oversight to the Operational Team.
The Operational Team will ensure that loans are properly underwritten and
comply with EPA requirements. Loans and sub-grants will have proper legal
and financial documentation, with an annual audit stipulation. The
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
October 18, 2007
Page 2
Administrative Management Agency will be the EDA and all work on sites will
be required to be conducted by environmental professionals familiar with the
Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) programs.
The City of Roanoke must provide a match of $200,000. These funds are
available in the Economic and Community Development Reserve account and
must be appropriated to the project account upon approval of the grant
cooperative agreement.
Considerations:
City Council action is needed to formally accept and appropriate this grant to
create a revolving loan fund and to appropriate the required matching funds,
as noted above.
Recommended Action:
Accept the grant as described above and authorize the City Manager to
execute any required grant agreements, subgrant agreements, or related
documents, such to be approved as to form by the City Attorney, and to take
any necessary actions to receive, implement, and administer such grant.
Authorize the City Manager to execute subgrant agreements, approved as to
form by the City Attorney, with the EDA and other entities, as allowed by the
cooperative agreement.
Adopt the accompanying budget ordinance to establish a revenue estimate in
the amount of $1,000,000 from the EPA, appropriate $200,000 from the
Economic and Community Development Reserve, and appropriate funding in
the amount of $1,200,000 to accounts to be established by the Director of
Finance in the Grant Fund.

Dear Mayor Harris and Members of City Council:
Subject:
Amendment of the 2006/2007
Annul Update to the HUD
Consolidated Plan for Mt. View
Rec Center Improvements
Background:
In order to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment
Partnerships (HOME) and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funding, the City of
Roanoke must submit a five-year Consolidated Plan and Annual Updates to the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Substantial
amendments to the plan must undergo a 30-day public review and be approved by
City Council.
By Resolution No. 37736-041607, Council authorized amending the 2006/2007
Annual Update to the Consolidated Plan to provide $350,000 in CDBG funds for
improvements to the Mt. View Recreation Center.
A Request for Proposal for Clay Tile Roof Replacement for Mountain View was
issued with one contractor submitting an estimate.of $574,300 to complete the
project. Discussions with the contractor resulted in a reduced scope of work and a
revised project cost not to exceed $525,000, which still exceeds the funding made
available by $175,000.
Considerations:
The City has proposed another plan amendment whereby $100,000 in CDBG
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
October 18, 2007
Page 2
,
funding will be reallocated to the Mt. View Improvement project from two projects
ndt utilizing appropriated funds: 1) $85,000 from the Business Seed Capital, Inc.
Microloan program and 2) $15,000 from CHPC Homeownership program. The
remaining $75,000 needed for this project will be transferred from the Facilities
Maintenance - Fixed Asset Maintenance account. These funding transfers are of
the level that can be processed administratively by the City Manager.
To comply with the required 30-day public review for substantial plan
amendments, a legal notice appeared in the Roanoke Times on September 17,
2007, informing the public of the proposed reallocation ofCDBG funds. The public
comment period ended October 17, 2007, with no objections to the proposed
amendment.
Recommended Actions:
Approve the amendment to the 2006/2007 Annual Update to the Consolidated
Plan to provide an additional $100,000 in CDBG funds for the Mt. View Rec Center
Improvement project, including submission of necessary documents to HUD.
Respectfully submitted,

Dear Mayor Harris and Members of City Council:
Subject: City Code Changes Regarding
Fire Alarm Systems and Security
Alarms
At its meeting on June 2, 2003, City Council adopted Ordinances establishing
procedures for regulating and monitoring fire alarm systems and security
alarms. The purpose of these ordinances was to provide for regulation
regarding the use and operation of fire and security alarms in order to enhance
public safety and reduce the necessary expenditures of public resources in
response to false alarms. These two ordinances have been managed by the Fire
and Police Departments with collections being provided by the City's Billings
and Collections Department. The Fire Department has been tasked with
managing the fire alarm ordinance, and the Police Department has been tasked
with managing the security alarm ordinance. Since its creation in 2003, each
Department has developed specific procedures in administering these
ordinances. In an effort to ensure that there is a consistent application of both
of these ordinances, a committee was formed at the direction of the City
Manager to address both of these ordinances. This committee contained
members from the Fire, Police and Billings and Collections Departments and the
City Attorney's Office.
As a result of the work of the committee and input from the City Auditor's
office, the committee has recommended amendments to both the security and
fire alarm ordinances. These amendments are intended to simplify the process
of registering alarms and monitoring false alarm charges throughout the City.
Both ordinances are proposed to be amended to standardize the service
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
October 18, 2007
Page 2
charges assessed for false alarm charges and the registration fees charged to
alarm users. Under the amended ordinances, each registered location of an
alarm system user would have a total of five (5) false fire and/or security alarms
each calendar year. After the fifth false fire and/or security alarm, the alarm
system user would be assessed a fee of $100.00. Ordinances are also
proposed to be amended to simplify the registration of alarm systems for both
fire and security alarms. Between the dates of November 1 and January 1 of
each year, an alarm system user for either fire alarm systems or security alarm
systems would be required to register such systems with the City. The annual
registration fee would be$2 5 .00 for each of the first three (3) locations
registered by the alarm user. The registration fee for four (4) or more locations
would be $100.00. The committee believes that this is a fair and adequate
assessment to cover the costs of registration and address the small alarm user
as well as the large alarm user who has many locations throughout the City.
The committee also addressed the appeals issue and further defined the
process and timeframe by which false alarm charges could be appealed to the
City Manager for consideration.
Recommended Action:
Amend and reordain Article III, Fire Alarm Systems, of Chapter 12, Fire
Prevention and Protection, Code of the City of Roanoke (1979) and Article III,
Security Alarms, of Chapter 23, Police, Code of City of Roanoke (1979) and
dispense with the second reading by title of both ordinances.

Filing Date: Original Application: July 5, 2007; Amended Application
NO.1: August 13, 2007; Amended Application NO.2:
September 20, 2007
Background
The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property from ROS, Recreation
and Qpen Space District, to IN, Institutional District, with conditions, to allow the
subdivision and expansion of the Jackson Park Branch Library. The library
currently sits on the north corner of Jackson Park at the intersection of Montrose
Avenue, S.E., and Morningside Street, S.E. Under this parcel's current zoning
of ROS, a library is not permitted by-right or by special exception. Therefore, a
1.33 acre portion of Official Tax No. 4130501 surrounding the library must be
subdivided and rezoned if an expansion is to occur. The expansion would
consist of two additions to the existing 5,456 square foot building. The 1,907
square foot addition would be a community meeting room, a storage room, public
restrooms and expansion of the current building's entry vestibule. The 812
square foot addition would be a 'teen room' providing reading/activity space and
two reading/tutorial rooms. (
Conditions Proffered by the Applicant
The applicant requests that the following proffer be adopted as it relates to the
specified portion of Official Tax No. 4130501:
1. The subject property will be developed in substantial conformity with the
development plan prepared by the Office of the City Engineer, September
20,2007, a copy of which is attached to the application ("Jackson Park
Library Expansion"), subject to any changes that may be required by the
City during development plan review.

Considerations
Surroundinq Zoninq and Land Use:
Zoning District Land Use
North IN, Institutional District Stonewall Jackson Middle School.
South ROS, Recreation and Open Space Jackson Park.
East RM-1, Residential Mixed Density District Single-family residences.
West MX, Mixed Use District Sinqle-family residences.
Compliance with the Zoninq Ordinance:
As stated, a library is not permitted in the ROS District under the City's current
Zoning Ordinance. ROS Districts are intended for active park and recreation
lands, passive open spaces and significant natural and scenic features with
construction limited to supportive functions. In order for this branch library to
remain viable it must expand, which can only occur under the IN District. The
proposal meets the purposes of the IN District as the existing facility is already a
part of the neighborhood's fabric.
All components of the Development Plan will be required to meet the regulations
of the Zoning Ordinance during the comprehensive plan review process. The
existing parking provided on site and the Category C Buffer Yard depicted are
adequate to accommodate the proposed expansions.
Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Neiqhborhood Plan:
The City of Roanoke has five (5) branch libraries. These have been identified as
important components of neighborhoods and their maintenance and
improvement is encouraged by the City's Comprehensive Plan, Vision 2001-
2020, and the Morningside/Kenwood/Riverdale Neighborhood Plan. The City's
Comprehensive Plan specifically states that a strong library system must include
a variety of services including community gathering space and resources for
lifelong learning. Permitting the expansion of the Jackson Park Library Branch
will provide the space needed for these functions.
The following policies of Vision 2001-2020 are relevant in the consideration of
this application:
· NH P2. Neighborhoods as villages. Neighborhoods will function as
villages, offering opportunities to live, work, shop, play and interact in a
neighborhood setting.
· PE P3. Lifelong learning. Roanoke will support schools, libraries,
continuing and higher education programs, community-based
education, and recreation programs that foster a positive learning
environment for persons of all ages.
Members of Council

. PE P7. Libraries. Roanoke will support its libraries as a fundamental
part of its lifelong learning system. They will function as informational
and social centers that provide places for community gathering,
business research, and educational activities. The library will establish
strong links with schools and higher-education facilities.
City Department Comments:
Staff has not received any comments from other City departments on this
application.
Public Comments:
The Planning Division received one (1) written comment from a citizen who was
in support of the application.
The applicant held a community meeting at Jackson Park Library on September
6, 2007. A total of six (6) people were in attendance, all in favor of the
application. Comments and questions included the following:
.....
1. The attendees asked if the exterior treatment of the additions would match
the existing building. The applicant stated that the exterior of all additions
would be in brick but that the community room would be the only addition
using the same color brick. The teen room and tower would be done in a
lighter color brick to give these features prominence.
2. The attendees stated that there should be wall mounted signs identifying
the library facing both Montrose Avenue and Morningside Avenue.
3. The attendees asked if any new security features would be added to the
building. The applicant responded that the fire and alarm systems would
be improved and that wall mounted lighting would be added. The
applicant also stated that the only access into the building would be from
the front and that all other doors would be for emergencies only.
4. The attendees asked if the addition of a community room to the library
meant that the community room at Buena Vista would be closing. The
applicant responded that the City is attempting to add community space in
all new and redeveloped public facilities and that it did not signify that
Buena Vista would be closing.
5. The attendees stated that a lack of parking is an issue for the library and
the surrounding neighborhood when Jackson Park and Stonewall Jackson
Middle School are in use. It was suggested that parking facilities be
added or that events be coordinated to not overl~p.
Planninq Commission Public Hearinq:
During the Planning Commission's public hearing on September 20, 2007, the
following issues were discussed:
Members of Council
Page 5
October 18, 2007
1. The applicant stated that a second amended ap'plication would be filed to
address the Planning Commission's request at their September 7,2007,
work session, for a sidewalk from Montrose Avenue to the Library's main
entrance.
2. The applicant stated that a total of nine (9) on-street parking spaces would
be added to Montrose Avenue S.E., to address concerns expressed by
both citizens during the community meeting on September 6, 2007 and at
the Planning Commission's work session on September 7, 2007 about
insufficient parking and calming traffic.
3. The Planning Commission asked if any modification of Montrose Avenue
would be required to accommodate the proposed on-street parking. The
applicant responded that the width of pavement was adequate and that
the only change required would be signage.
4. The Planning Commission was divided on the design of the proposed
additions to the library. Some stated that the design was inappropriate
and uninspiring for the neighborhood. They specifically commented that
the amount of glazing on the community room addition needed to be
increased. Other Commissioners stated that the contemporary treatment
of the additions complemented the existing building well.

Conditional Rezoning
Address: 1030 Morningside Street, S.E.
Official Tax No.: 4130501
Existing zoning: "ROS"
Requested Conditional Zoning: "IN"
The City of Roanoke is making application to conditionally rezone the property
identified above in order to expand the existing Jackson Park Branch Library
which is located at the north corner of Jackson Park, a Southeast Roanoke
neighborhood recreational facility that contains over 22-acres. The existing
library, a one-story building that encompasses just over 5,450 gross square feet
of floor space, was constructed circa .1967. The Phase I implementation of the
"Roanoke Library Comprehensive Study" calls for expanding that facility with two
small additions - one containing about 1,900 gross ~quare feet that will provide a
new "community" meeting room, adjacent storage rdbm, public restrooms, and
expansion of the current building's entry vestibule. The second addition, which
provides some 800(::t) square feet of floor space, is primarily designed to meet
the needs of teenage patrons and will contain a reading/activity space and two
small reading/tutorial rooms. These additions are indicated on the attached
drawings, sheets A 1.1 and A5.1 , prepared by the City's architectural consulting
team, SFCS/PSA-Dewberry, dated August 13, 2007.
As stated above, the library is located at the northern corner of Jackson Park. In
accordance with the building code and local ordinance, the library cannot be
expanded because it is located on property zoned "ROS," Recreation and Open
Space, and thus must be subdivided and rezoned. Attached are copies of two
site plans, one a colored rendering titled "Site Plan," prepared bySFCS/PSA-
Dewberry, dated September 20,2007, the second being sheet C1 prepared by
the Office of the City Engineer, titled "Jackson Park Library Expansion,
Development Plan," bearing a revised date of September 20,2007, both showing
the parcel to be subdivided from the larger 22-acre park site. The parcel
indicated on the drawings contains approximately 1.33 acres; it will
accommodate the library, access drive, parking and service areas, walks, etc.
These drawings have been revised to reflect the inclusion of a new concrete walk
connecting the main public sidewalk along Montrose Avenue with the existing
walk that leads to the library's main entrance.
This conditional rezoning request is asking that the library site be rezoned from
"ROS" to "IN,"lnstitutional. The property will be developed in substantial
conformity with the development plan referenced above subject to any changes
that may be required by the City during development plan review.

Official Tax No.: 4130501
Existing zoning: "ROS"
Requested Conditional Zoning: "IN"
The City of Roanoke is making application to conditionally rezone the property
identified above in order to expand the existing Jackson Park Branch Library
which is located at the north corner of Jackson Park, a Southeast Roanoke
neigl;1b9rhood recreational facility that contains some 22-acres. The existing
library, a one-story building that encompasses just over 5,450 gross square feet
lof floor space, was constructed circa 1967. The Phase I implementation of the
"Roanoke Library Comprehensive Study" calls for expanding that facility with two
small additions - one containing about 1,900 gross square feet that will provide a
new "community" meeting room, adjacent storage room, public restrooms, and
iexpansionof the current building's entry vestibule. The second addition, which
provides some 800(.:!:) square feet of floor space, is primarily designed to meet
the needs of teenage patrons and will contain a reading/activity space and two
small reading/tutorial rooms. These additions are indicated on the attached
drawings, sheets A 1.1 and A5.1, 'Prepared by the City's architectural consulting
team, SFCS/PSA-Dewberry, dated August 13, 2007.
As stated above, the library is located at the northern corner of Jackson Park. In
accordance with the building code and local ordinance, the library cannot be
~xpanded because it is located on property zoned "ROS," Recreation and Open
Space and thus must be subdivided and rezoned. The attached site plan
prepared by the Office of the City Engineer, titled "Jackson Park Library
Expansion, Development Plan," bearing a revised date of August 13, 2007,
shows the parcel to be subdivided from the larger 22-acre park site. The parcel
shown on the drawing contains approximately 1.33 acres; it will accommodate
,the library, access drive, parking and service areas, walks, etc.
This conditional rezoning request is asking that the library site be rezoned from
"ROS" to "IN," Institutional. The property will be developed in substantial
conformity with the development plan referenced above subject to any changes
that may be required by the City during development plan review.
