Schirmer, P.E., L.S. City Engineer Noel C. Taylor Municipal Building 215 Church Avenue, S.W., Room 350 Roanoke, Virginia 24011 Dear ~inner: . Thank you for sharing the City's concerns about the proposed modifications to the armoring of Training Wall 298 in your correspondence dated October 20,2008, and in our conversation on November 6, 2008. My staff and I will be happy to meet with your City Council on December I, , 2008, at 10:00 AM, to explain the reasons for our design changes. Lessons we have learned since the original design for Training Wall 298 was prepared in 2002, and lessons gained from examining reasons for project problems and failwes of the New Orleans levees during Hurricane Katrina, indicate that it is critical to strengthen some of the design features of this training wall. To prevent erosion from overtopping and failure from the rear of the wall in a 3% or higher flood event, it is necessary to armor the earth embankment with concrete pavers in the area ofthe Roanoke City Schools Maintenance Facility on the park side of the I-wall embankment and place concrete pavement where the I-Wall transitions to the earth embankment. To prevent erosion of the training wall on the river channel side, we have learned that it will be necessary to protect portions of the earth training wall with stone erosion protection. We understand the city's desire for less-costly maintenance and a more natural appearance, but w~ are convinced that some strengthening in.targeted areas is necessary. The stone erosion protection will be confined to those areas that our lessons learned tell us will be vulnerable under flooding conditions. These areas include the transition section from I - Wall to earth embankment, at the Pedestrian Bridge Crossing, and at the intersection with the railroad embankment. A plan of the modifications is included for your reference. In the very near future, the contractor is scheduled to install the erosion control matting included in the original design for Training Wall 298. We plan to proceed with the contract modification process to implement the recommendations in order to provide the additional armoring as soon as possible and to also minimize the cost of the modifications. The actual construction of the additional armoring will not begin until after our meeting on December 1, 2008 with the City Council, as we discussed in our call on November 6,2008. -2- We hope that the City will understand that the changes we are making are intended to ensure your project has a long and successful life of reducing flood damage to the city, and that your hard work and investment will be protected from threats we now have strong evidence could become problems for the project. I look forward to meeting with the City Council and you on Monday, December I, 2008 to discuss these changes. If you have any questions prior to our meeting, please call my project manager, Ms. Jan Brodmerkel at 910-251-4763.

Additionally, school divisions should be permitted to apply for waivers from the Standards of Accreditation (SOA) and the Standards of Quality (SOQ), as appropriate, in those areas impacted by the funding cuts. 1.

In the alternative, the state should increase the current level of school construction funding, funding for the Literary Loan program, and funding for the Virginia Public School Authority Interest Rate subsidy program. , These funds should be protected from other use or allocations. . A program of state participation in school construction and renovation projects should be implemented in addition to current Literary Fund and VPSA programs, school construction grants, and lottery proceeds programs. . Sufficient funding should be provided for the Literary Loan program to meet construction requests within one year. . The state should address the financial condition of the Literary Fund and should balance the general fund without using the proceeds of the Literary Fund to balance the budget. . The state should continue the VPSA subsidy sales until the Literary Fund is available to meet school construction needs. . The General Assembly should expand the ability of school divisions to borrow through expanding the capacity of the VPSA. . The state should share debt service as ongoing, unfunded operational expenses. . Debt service should not be part of the state-funding match. .

Rosen, Council Member Honorable David B. Trinkle, Council Member Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council: Subject: Award of Federal Transportation Enhancement Funds for the Roanoke River G ree nway Background: As managed through the Virginia Department of Transportation, the Federal Transportation Enhancement Fund program is a reimbursable grant opportunity established for the purposes of providing for facilities and amenities that promote alternate modes of transportation to include greenway trails and trail- related facilities. The City of Roanoke has been fortunate to have been awarded enhancement funding for several years for the Roanoke River-Tinker Creek Greenway trail connection project managed by Roanoke's Parks and Recreation Department. Since 2002, the City has received multiple enhancement awards totaling $669,000 for the project; however, the 2005 award of $294,000 has yet to be accepted by City Council. Upon staff's review of the project's finances, all other enhancement awards have been properly accepted by Council, and the proper financial processes were initiated to prepare the project for future phases of development and expenditure of funds. Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council December 1, 2008 Page 2 Considerations: While Roanoke's overall greenway efforts address multiple greenway and trail projects, these particular enhancement funds as identified under federal project number EN03-128-129, PEl 01, C501 (UPC 72180) shall be utilized towards construction and development efforts for the Roanoke River-Tinker Creek project. To be expended within the next four years, these funds may be used for construction planning, specifications, drawings, landscaping, and development per the scope of work described within the grant application package. The 2005 awarded funds as addressed herein have already been successfully accepted and authorized by both the Virginia Department of Transportation and the City, and they are already a part of the federal and state project code earmarked for the Roanoke River and Tinker Creek Greenway connectivity project. The local matching requirements of said funds have also been appropriately addressed through a May, 2008 Council. action. :The only remaining act relative to these funds is to have the City officially create the appropriate capital revenue and expenditure grant related accounts under the 008-620 series for Parks and Recreation Administration. Recommended Action: Accept the 2005 grant as previously described and authorize the City Manager to execute any grant agreements or documents; such agreements or documents to be approved as to form by the City Attorney. Adopt the accompanying budget ordinance to establish a revenue estimate for State grant funps in the amount of $294,000 and to appropriate the same amount in the Capital Projects Fund account 08-620-9200-9007 (Roanoke River Greenway) Appropriation of State Grant Funds.

The percent impervious surface, land-use patterns, flow regimes, soil types, and other relevant watershed criteria will be considered. The assessment will be used to develop the stream restoration design. Natural stream channel design techniques will be considered. In applying the above award condition, a distinction can be made between a stream restoration project verses a streambank rehabilitation project. Stream restoration is typically viewed as a more holistic process that aims to reestablish the structure and function of a stream segment or corridor to pre-disturbed conditions and functions. Stream restoration is a process of converting an unstable, altered or degraded stream corridor, including adjacent riparian zone and floodplain areas to its natural or referenced, stable conditions considering recent and future watershed conditions. A streambank rehabilitation project generally involves the recovery of functions and processes in a degraded habitat that is often achieved through isolated manipulation of individual elements. Streambank rehabilitation does still aim to establish geological and hydrologically stable area(s) that support the natural ecosystem. Examples of streambank rehabilitation activities include planting riparian buffers, stabilizing a streambank or shoreline, and armoring the banks and replacing vegetation. Although a detailed hydrologic and geomorphic assessment may not be necessary, streambank rehabilitation projects are still expected to provide for an adequate slTeambank restoration design based on appropriate design parameters as required by the Operation and Maintenance Plan. ) The final design(s) for stream restoration and/or streambank rehabilitation projects should be submitted to DCR for approval prior to the start of construction. /' I ~ City of Roanoke 2007 Department o( Conservation and Recreation WQIF Application Narrative 1. Project Abstract The City of Roanoke's Department of Public Works (Engineering Division & Environmental Services), Department of Planning, Building, and Economic Development, and Parks & Recreation Department have collaborated on this application package to identify specific projects within the City of Roanoke that can positively effect water quality within the City and beyond. The three specific projects proposed to be undertaken are the re-vegetation of denuded areas along Tinker Creek in Eastgate Park, stream restoration along Tinker Creek and retrofitting the Statesman stormwater detention pond to include both water quantity and water quality functions. A brief description of each project is provided below: Re- V et!etation alone Tinker Creek in Easteate Park- Re-vegetate a denuded area approximately.1200 feet long by 40 feet wide with completely bare earth along Tinker Creek in Eastgate Park. Stormwater runoff conveys sediment into Tinker Creek by overland flow and re-vegetating will greatly reduce sediment movement. Although specific sediment control measures are still to be determined, based upon the area of bare land to be re-vegetated, it has been calculated that 62 pounds of Nitrogen, 16.6 pounds of Phosphorus, and 20.73 tons of sediment can be reduced from entering Tinker Creek, a tributary of the Roanoke River. This particular section of the riparian corridor of Tinker ,Creek is managed as linear park resources and as such is under the stewardship of Roanoke Parks & Recreation. As part of the City's park and greenway system, this section of stream was identified within the 2000 Tinker Creek Greenway Plan as developed by the Roanoke Greenway Commission. As the formal development of the greenway route is continuing, the opportunity is currently at-hlind to potentially utilize WQIF funds to restore a severely devastated section of the streams floodway and also to establish a environmentally friendly greenway trailhead at this location. As with other floodway located trailheads within Roanoke's greenway system, the Tinker Creek project would be developed with porous concrete pavers to eliminate any further impermeable surfaces within the floodway and to also serve as part of the storm-water filtration buffering that is needed in the area to enhance the streams health. The City shall fully fund the sustainable trailhead feature while matching the WQlF riparian buffer enhancement requestportion with a 50% cash commitment. Stream Restoration alone Tinker Creek- Stream Restoration will be implemented on a reach of Tinker Creek that is approximately 150 linear feet with an average bank height of 6 feet using a combination of traditional and bioengineering techniques and natural stability concepts. It has been calculated that restoring this section of Tinker Creek will reduce on an annual basis 256.5 pounds of " Nitrogen, 68.4 pounds of Phosphorus and 85.5 tons of sediment from entering Tinker Creek. Statesman Detention Pond UpID"ade- Statesman detention pond was constructed in the early 1990's by the City of Roanoke to reduce storm water runoff to an inadequate pipe system. The runoff travels through this inadequate pipe system and empties in the Tinker Creek tributary. The detention pond was designed to attenuate the 10 year storm with a maximum outflow rate of 80 cubic feet per second. The contributory drainage area is approximately 140 acres with a mixed land use. Of the 140 acres, there is approximately 84 acres of roads, driveways, roofs and other impervious areas. The 84 acres takes into account future build out potential. Additionally, the pond was constructed with a rubber membrane liner that over the years has severely deteriorated. The pond currently does not have any water quality features. For this project, the City will remove the rubber liner and re-establish grass to allow the first flush volume to be filtered through grass and provide for greater target pollutant removal efficiency. II. Proposal A. Project Need Within the City of Roanoke, a comprehensive Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) study has identified several impaired benthic segments of the Roanoke River. Sediment was identified as a primary stressor impacting benthic invertebrates in the impaired segments of the river. The four primary sources of sediment entering the Roanoke River have been identified as: (1) discharges from Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems, (2) drought-related impacts, (3) urbanized high density areas, and (4) sediment resuspension. The proposed projects covered under this application are either adjacent to, or discharge directly into Tinker Creek, which is a tributary of the Roanoke River. Thus, by implementing the proposed projects, a reduction of sediment, as well as other non-point source pollutants, willbe achieved and ultimately be prevented from reaching the Roanoke River. B. Objectives Re-Vee:etation alone: Tinker Creek in Easteate Park- · Reduce annual Nitrogen loading in Tinker Creek by 62 pounds · Reduce annual Phosphorus loading in Tinker Creek by 16.6 pounds · Reduce annual sediment loading in Tinker Creek by 20.73 tons · Install interpretative signage regarding the importance of maintaining healthy water quality Stream Restoration alone Tinker CreekR · Reduce annual Nitrogen loading in Tinker Creek by 256.5 pounds · Reduce annual Phosphorus loading in Tinker Creek by 68.4 pounds · Reduce annual sediment loading in Tinker Creek by 85.5 tons . Install interpretative signage regarding the importance of maintaining healthy water quality Statesman Detention Pond Uptzrade- · Reduce annual Nitrogen loading in Tinker Creek tributary by 42.39 pounds · Reduce annual Phosphorus loading in Tinker Creek tributary by 19.63 pounds · Reduce annual sediment loading in Tinker Creek tributary by 21.2 tons c. Overall Content Although the Roanoke River 01 A W-L04R) possesses an approved benthic TMDL, no TMDL Implementation Plans have been approved. However, the projects identified in this application will annually reduce the amount of sediment reaching Tinker Creek, a tributary of the Roanoke River, by over 127 tons. Such demonstrated sediment reductions can only positively impact the overall water quality of both Tinker Creek and the Roanoke River. Currently, the City of Roanoke has entered the 5th Year of its VPDES General Permit for Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (No. V AR040004). Although the current General Permit identifies and implements many BMPs focused on improving stonnwater quality, such BMPs are qualitative in nature. The proposed stream restoration, re-vegetation and detention pond retrofit projects represent several of only a handful of projects proposed to be initiated within the City of Roanoke that actually calculated the non-point source pollutant reductions to be gained through their implementation. While all stormwater quality BMPs are important and beneficial, whether they are qualitative or quantitative in nature, the added gain of implementing qU,antitative BMPs is the ability to objectively demonstrate the amount of pollutant reduction achieved. While the projects identified in this application are not a continuation or expansion of an existing WQIF grant funded under the FY2006 WQIF Request for Grant Applications, it is the intent of the City of Roanoke to apply for continuation WQIF grants in future funding cycles. D. Methodology & Timeline After proper award, the City of Roanoke anticipates beginning work in December 2007 and completing all work activities by June 2009. Proper specifications will be developed and procurement of all services will adhere to all state and local guidelines. Additionally, all appropriate construction, land disturbing, and other permits will be secured prior to initiating any work. While the actual construction work will be . performed by Contractors, the City of Roanoke will provide all contract management and construction management oversight for each proposed project. E. NPS Results, NPS Reductions, or Environmental Results In addition to the pollution reduction benefits previously identified in this narrative as well as in application form, the City of Roanoke intends to create a pictorial chronology of each project from start to finish. Additionally, a 'diary' of each project will be developed and posted on the City's web site and featured at various City- sponsored events. The purpose of creating a detailed record of each project, and not simply showing the end-result, is to raise citizen awareness of the costs and time commitments associated with restoring/improving water quality with the ultimate intention of changing individual behaviors and raising consciousness oihow individuals, government, and corporate entities can work together in becoming better environmental stewards. F. Partner Justification Both the Clean Valley Council (www.cleanvalley.org) and the Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission (www.greenwavs.org) have offered their encouragement of the proposed projects as can be seen in their letters of support provided with this application. The Clean Valley Council serves as a Contractor to the City of Roanoke, along with Roanoke County and the Town of Vinton, for fulfilling several BMPs pertaining to stormwater education and outreach iJl fulfillment of the aforementioned locality's VPDES Phase II stormwater permit. The mission,ofthe Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission is to promote and facilitate coordinated direction and guidance in the planning, development and maintenance of a system of greenways through the Roanoke Valley. It is anticipated that both the Clean Valley Council and Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission will assist with the development of the content to be included on theinterpretative signage along Tinker Creek.

Rosen, Council Member Honorable David B. Trinkle, Council Member Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council: Subject: Public Art Action Plan for 2009 Background: On April 2, 2007, Roanoke City Council adopted the Public Art Site Plan. According to the Site Plan, the Public Art Coordinator is to present an annual Public Art Action Plan to the Roanoke Arts Commission (RAC) which will identify projects and estimated budgets for those prospective projects. The Public Art Site Plan also states that "Once approved by the RAC, the Public Art Action Plan is to be submitted to the City Manager for review and then to City Council for approval" before December 31. At the November 11, 2008 meeting of the RAC the Commissioners voted on sites and estimated budgets for public art projects for 2009. The RAC previously visited and discussed all the sites. The purpose of this report is to submit the recommendations of the RAC to City Council. Considerations: It is the goal of the RAC to develop a wide range of projects of the various types eligible through the Public Art Policy at diverse locations throughout the city. Other goals are to partner with additional organizations where appropriate and to inform the citizens of the city about the various forms of public art. During the first year of the program the RAC placed temporary pieces around the city through AIR: Art in Roanoke, commissioned a permanent artwork for the Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council December 1, 2008 Page 2 Roanoke Civic Center and bus shelters will soon be placed at both high schools. The RAC recommends the following projects to add to the permanent public art collection of the city. 1. Highland Park Bench Project - Two artist designed and fabricated benches would be placed in Highland Park near the fountain garden area. This is a partnership project with Old Southwest Inc. They are allocating $1,000 for the project to bring it to a total of $10,000. Budget: $9,000 2. Gainsboro Library Project - With the renovations and new addition to th~ Gainsboro Library there is an opportunity to add artwork to the outdoor area adjacent to Gainsboro Road. Residents and library patrons would have the opportunity to work with an artist or artist team on deciding the content and possibly also participate in the fabrication of the work. An effort would be made to incorporate the library's recent oral history project into the art work. Budget: $65,000 3. Enhancement of the Market Square Walkway. Last year $10,000 was allocated for this project and the RAC worked with students at VA Tech to develop concepts to add art elements to the interior of the pedestrian bridge. The concepts did not fit within the parameters of the budget. The RAC recommends adding to this initial allocation to commission art for the bridge. If possible the RAC want to hang kinetic art in the tower at the Salem Avenue end of the bridge. Budget: $35,000 total with an additional allocation of $25,000 This proposed work plan would allocate $99,000 of the approximately $123,000 in new funding in the Percent for the Art fund (account 08-610-9929). Recommended Action: Adopt the attached resolution which approves the Public Art Action Plan for fiscal year 2009. Adopt the accompanying budget ordinance to transfer funding from the following accounts to two new accounts to be established by the Director of Finance in the Capital Project Fund entitled Highland Park Bench project ($9,000) and Gainsboro Library Project ($65,000) and $25,000 to the Market Square Walkway Public Art project account (08-610-9931).

BETHEL COMMENTS Ms. Evelyn Bethel, 35 Patton Avenue, N. E., appeared before the Council and spoke with regard to her concerns regarding the information given at the morning session on Washington Park. She stated that she had a lot of information gathered by the Washington Park Committee, which was formed at the City Manager's suggestion around 2001 or 2002, when the park was in danger of being sold to another entity in the City. She pointed out that the Committee met faithfully for about two years, and presented their Washington Park Comprehensive Plan to the City Manager. The Committee then asked the City Manager for an opportunity to present the plan out to the community; in response, they received a communication dated May 2, 2002, from the City Manager indicating that a community meeting would be held at the appropriate time to present the Washington Park Committee's work; but the community meeting was never scheduled. She expressed the Committee's disappointment at the time when elaborate plans concerning the pool were released; and her disappointment when she was denied the opportunity to appear before the Council and present the Committee's plan other than under Section 11, Hearing of Citizens Upon Public Matters, which would only allow her 3-5 minutes of time to speak. She requested that the Council review the record and reports on this matter to understand what the community stated they would prefer in Washington Park; and stated that she thought that Washington Park was not the appropriate location for a regional swimming pool. Without objection of the Council, the Mayor referred Ms. Bethel's comments to the City Manager. Mayor Bower's pointed out that the City Manager was not present, but that Mr. Townsend was taking notes on the matter. He stated that, if there has not been a meeting because of a delay over the years of the project, the time is now to have the citizens and the neighborhood, involved. He suggested that Mr. Townsend include representatives from Addison Middle School, the Reverend Johnny Stone of Hill Street Church, the Reverend Wright of First Baptist Church, along with other ministers in the area, the schools in the area and the. neighborhoods around Washington Park. He commented that he was aware that everyone was busy during the holidays, but before the matter comes back to the Council, he thought it was important to make sure the citizens were involved. Vice Mayor Lea stated he needed some clarification; he understood that the Washington Park neighborhood may oppose a regional swimming pool there, but asked if what Ms. Bethel was saying this morning was that the neighborhood would oppose enhancing the current swimming pool. Ms. Bethel stated that she could not say whether or not the neighborhood would oppose enhancing the pool; it seemed to her there was a tendency by the City to have a regional pool, which would bring people from all over the area to use the facility, with an increase in the admission rate. She pointed out that a dollar more per child could make a big difference to those that live in the northwest area. She pointed out the parking issues that would occur with a regional pool; the fact that parking would spill out into the residential area which already has limited parking on narrow streets. She further stated that a lot of consideration needs to be given to transferring a community pool into a regional pool, especially since Washington Park is so small. She further stated, that the Committee's comprehensive plan contained some things the City related that could not be done, but when the City decided to come through with the greenway, some of those things that could not be done were done - - just like that. She pointed out that there was no communication with the people that live in the area or outside the area. She referred to the recent dog park and the issues that were raised by citizens who where for and against it, pointing out that at least they were given an opportunity to express themselves. Mayor Bowers advised Ms. Bethel that he wanted to assure her that the Council would provide an opportunity for her or the representatives of the neighborhoods to be heard on this or any issue, and that it is always, in his opinion, a paramount concern that the public be heard. He again stated that her comments would be referred to the City Manager for review and report. CITY OF ROANOKE OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK 215 Church Avenue, S.

BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS An analysis of changes in the three major categories of revenue is as follows: A. LOCAL TAXES $5,297,000 Local taxes are the largest category of revenues for the City. Local taxes comprise 68% of all FY 2008-2009 General Fund revenues. The local tax category is expected to increase 3.1 % compared to FY 2007-2008. Growth in local taxes is a primary measure of the health of our local economy. The increase in major revenues or categories of revenue is denoted below. 1. Real Property - $3,631,000 - The real estate tax is the single largest source of revenues for the City of Roanoke. Growth in this revenue is derived from new construction and from increased assessments of existing properties. Reassessments provide growth of 3.04% while new construction provides an increase of 1.5%, for a total increase of 4.54%. While real estate assessment growth continues to increase within the city, it has decreased from the prior year, and assessment growth is expected to continue its decline in upcoming years. Important elements of Roanoke's real estate taxation system are programs that provide relief to certain taxpayers or on selected types of properties. Relief expected to be granted in FY09 will total approximately $2.1 million. This is comprised of relief to the elderly and disabled taxpayers of $778,000, relief on agricultural properties of $69,000, and relief for properties under rehabilitation of $1,000,000. Additionally, leased property receives tax exemptions totaling $213,000. These relief programs are intended to benefit those on fixed incomes or with limited ability to cover the costs of increased taxes or to provide incentives for owners who invest in rehabilitation of aged properties. The City's real estate taxes are due annually in two installments, October 5th and April 5th. 2. Personal Property - $941,000 - Growth of 5.2% is projected in the personal property tax. The FY08 adopted estimate is lower than the amount received in FY07, and the FY09 estimate assumes no growth in FY08 over the FY07 amount, followed by growth of 3% next year. A factor which positively impacts the local tax received from personal property is that the state tax relief was frozen at a predetermined level. This requires localities to increase the portion of personal property considered to be a local tax since the state portion cannot increase. Annual assessments of the personal property tax are made in early April, and the tax due date is May 31. 3. Public Service Corporations - $161,000 - The State Corporation Commission and State Department of Taxation assess the value of real and personal property for public service corporations. Both real and personal property are taxed at the prevailing real estate rate. The revenue estimate in FY09 anticipates an annual increase of 3% over FY07 actual. 4. Sales Tax - ($1,310,000) - Sales tax is expected to decrease 5.8% when compared to the FY08 adopted estimate. The FY08 adopted estimate called for growth of 3% over FY07, however a decline of 3% to 4% has been experienced thus Jar. The FY09 estimate acknowledges the current year trend with a 3% decrease for FY08 and expects next year's revenues to remain level with FY08. 5. Utility Tax - $528,000 - This overall 5.9% estimated increase is comprised of a 5.4% increase in Electric Services Tax based on trends in prior and current years, and of an almost 15% estimated increase in Water Service Tax based on expected rate increases and normal expansion of services. 6. CiQarette Tax - $244,000 - The FY09 estimate is 8.4% higher than the FY08 actual. This increase in the revenue estimate for FY09 is a reflection of the fact that the revenue performance faltered for a few years following the July 1, 2006 doubling of the tax rate. The FY09 estimate reflects improved growth of the tax, and it includes an estimate of penalties for late payment. 7. Recordation & Probate Tax - $125,000 - The increase of over 11% in this revenue estimate reflects current trends from FY07 and FY08 to date. Budget Highlights. 5 ,:Jf BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS 8. Business and Professional Occupational License Tax (BPOL) - ($430,000) - The BPOL tax is another major local tax and is based on the gross receipts of businesses operating within the City. The FY09 estimate has decreased due to the fact that it reflects a flat revenue expectation for the upcoming two years based on FY07 actual receipts. A planned rate increase offsets part of the decrease. The budget includes an increase in the contractor rate from $.14 to $.16 and in the Realtor rate from $.47 to $.58 per $100 of gross receipts. 9. Transient Occupancy Tax - $136,000 - This tax is another consumer-driven source of revenue, and it performs best when tourism is healthy and consumer confidence is high. The projected growth of 4.9% in arriving at the FY09 estimate reflects continued strong performance of this tax. 10. Prepared Food and BeveraQe Tax - $410,000 - This tax is our fifth largest in the City, and it, too, has performed very well in recent years and is a strong indicator of local economic conditions. The FY09 revenue estimate is predicated on revenue growth of 5% in FY08 and 4% in FY09 applied to the base of FY07 performance. The long term trend for this revenue is 4%-5%, and the current year is tracking accordingly at 4.7%. 11. Franchise Fees - $55,000 - This estimate has been increased slightly as a result of FY07 results in the Telecommunications Right of Way Use Fees. 12. Telecommunications Tax- $722,000 - The 9.9% increase in this revenue estimate reflects current trends from FY07 and FY08 to date. This new tax was established effective January 1, 2007 to replace several other telecommunications taxes, and our estimates in FY07 and FY08, following adoption, were conservative pending performance of this state-collected revenue. The revenue has performed slightly better than initially expected upon transition. 13. Other - $84,000 - Local taxes not individually described includes penalties and interest, and motor vehicle license tax. B. INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUE $2,454,000 This revenue category is primarily comprised of State funds designated for specific programs. There is little local discretionary use of these funds, much of which is paid to the City on a reimbursement basis. This category represents 26% of total revenue for the General Fund. The FY 2009 revenue estimate is projected to increase 3.7% from the FY08 adopted budget. The major categories of intergovernmental revenues are discussed as follows: 1. Non-CateQorical Aid - ($104,000) - This category of State taxes is comprised of revenues from personal property tax relief, rental car, recordation, ABC/wine, and rolling stock taxes. There is an increase estimated in FY09 in recordation tax, bringing it level with FY07 actual results. Elimination of revenues is foreseen in Alcohol Beverage Control, and Wine (Liter) Taxes due to budget cuts at the State level. The largest source of revenue in this category is personal property tax relief. The amount provided by the State has been frozen at approximately $8.1 million annually. The overall reduction in the category is approximately 1.1%. 2. Shared Expenses - ($453,000) - This category of revenue accounts for reimbursement to the City for the State share of salaries and operating expenses of the Constitutional Offices including Commonwealth's Attorney, Sheriff, Commissioner of the Revenue, Treasurer, and Registrar. The FY09 Commonwealth funding provides pay raises of 2% to most State Compensation Board funded positions, however, that increase is offset by reductions by the 2008 General Assembly including reductions in funding for salaries by imposing a 90 day minimum vacancy for all open positions. Budget Highlights. 6 00:. BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS 3. Social Services - $3,529,000 - Social services revenues in FY09 are anticipated to approximate $30.3 million, a sizable component of the City's funding from the Commonwealth. This funding covers foster care, the comprehensive services act, day care, employment services and other social services programs. Growth of over 13% is included in the FY09 budget, following a significant year of growth in FY07. These revenues are largely reimbursement based, and the City adopts an expenditure budget adequate to fund the state and local share of these programs. 4. Other InterQovernmental Revenue - ($518,000) - The Other Categorical Aid category consists primarily of street maintenance, jail per diems, HB-599 and Virginia Juvenile Community Crime Control Act (VJCCCA) funding. The decline in this category of 2.5% can be attributed to reductions in HB-599 funding. A downward trend in E-911 wireless funding also affects the reduction in this category. C. CHARGES FOR SERVICES/MISCELLANEOUS ($372,000) The Charges for Services category is the smallest revenue category. Most of the revenue in this category is generated from fees charged for services rendered to our citizens. This category comprises only 6% of Gener~1 Fund revenues. The major charges for services categories are discussed as follows: . 1. Fines and Forfeitures - $168,000 - Parking ticket revenues and fines and collection fees assessed by various courts make up this category, which is expected to increase over 12% in FY09 as compared to the FY08 adopted estimate. The majority of the growth in this category will be achieved from increased revenues from court fines and forfeitures, parking tickets, and collection fees imposed on delinquent real estate, personal property and other receivables. 2. Revenue from Use of Money and Property - ($88,000) - Rental revenue on buildings is expected to decrease as a result of a rental building being converted to City use. However, that decrease is partially offset by an increase in field rental. 3. Interfund Services and Central Services - $68,000 - Revenue in this category is generated by General Fund services provided to departments of the City's proprietary, grant, and capital funds or organizations such as the City Schools, Valley Metro and Roanoke Regional Airport Commission. The increase expected in FY09 compared to FY08 is primarily the result of a~ increase in estimated revenues from occupational health services and the school share of CSA, which are offset by a decrease in engineering fees due to a project that was completed in the prior year. 4. Sheriff/Jail - ($817,000) -This category is expected to decline significantly primarily due to a change in the contract revenue for housing of federal prisoners who are now being housed in Abingdon as a result of a new federal contract with that facility. A reduction is also expected in revenue from inmate phone commissions. 5. Court Costs - $73,000 - Revenue in this category includes fees charged by the various courts for sheriff costs, law library, inmate processing, security, and maintenance. The increase of almost 5% from FY08 to FY09 is primarily related to a fee increase from $5 to $10 for the courthouse security fee. 6. Sanitation CharQes - $148,000 - This increase of almost 59% is based on actual trends over the past two years in weed cutting and demolition charges. 7. Library CharQes - $20,000 - Fines and Fees reflects an estimated increase of $10,000 or 14.3%. A new revenue source; Virginia Room Marketing charges, is projected to generate revenue of $10,000. 8. Public Safety, CharQes for Services - $220,000 - This 8.8% increase is primarily due to an increasing trend in . EMS fee collections. New engine standby fees, and increases in EMS externship and EMS standby fees also contribute to the estimate. Budget Highlights. 7 .. ;., _>r BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS 9. All Other Charqes/Miscellaneous - ($164,000) - Revenues included in this category include permits, fees, and licenses, recreation fees, human services charges, grants and donations, sale of property, and miscellaneous revenues which may be nonrecurring. The decrease expected in FY09 is mainly due to reductions in revenue estimates for the Building New Partnerships Conference and for the Arts Festival based on FY07 performance. PROPRIETARY FUND REVENUES: A. ENTERPRISE FUNDS: 1. Civic Facilities Fund - Estimated revenues for the Civic Facilities Fund total $4,910,100. Revenues are comprised of operating revenues of $2,422,000, non-operating revenue of $20,000, and a General Fund supplement of $2,468,100. These revenues will fund total operating expenses of $3,516,441, a $65,244 transfer to the Debt Service Fund and $1,328,415 in principal and interest payments due in fiscal year 2009. 2. Market Buildinq Fund - Estimated revenues from the rental of the City-owned Market Building of $286,500 and a General Fund supplement of $35,000 will cover total operating expenses of $321,500. 3. Parkinq Fund - Estimated revenues generated from the City's parking facilities will total $2,934,960. These revenues will fund operating costs of $1,464,884 and principal and interest payments of $1 ,352,141 as well as a reserve for future debt service associated with the construction of new parking facilities of $117,935. B. INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS: 1. Department of Technoloqy (DOT) - Estimated revenues of the Department of Technology total $7,479,328. These are comprised of billings to user funds and departments of $7,126,253 for information technology, and telephone and radio services; and outside third party billings of $353,075. These revenues will fully fund the operational costs of the department of $5,802,593, principal and interest payments of $579,800, FY09 costs of $1 ,096,935 for capital outlay, and $50,000 to the Telephone Replacement Reserve. 2.
