The City of Roanoke Reserve and Debt Management Policies - DRAFT ROANOKE 1 DRAFT Goals and Objectives These policies are designed to help protect the City's financial resources, necessary to meet short-term and long-term operating and capital needs by: . Promoting sound financial management; . Protecting and maintaining the City's credit ratings; . Ensuring the legal and prudent use of the City's debt issuance authority; and . Guiding the City and its managers in policy and debt issuance decisions. While adherence to this policy is expected in applicable circumstances, the City understands that changes in the capital markets, City programs, or other unforeseen circumstances may from time to time produce situations that are not covered by this policy and will require modifications or exceptions to achieve the policy goals. In these cases, the City's management may act, provided specific authorization from the Director of Finance or City Council is obtained. Failure to comply in any manner with this policy shall not result in any liability on the part of the City to any party. These policies will be reviewed at least every two years by the Director of Finance. ~~ The City of Roanoke Reserve and Debt Management Policies - DRAFT ROANOKE 2 DRAFT Reserve Policies Undesignated General Fund Reserve . Reserve Floor-Roanoke will target an unreserved, "Undesignated General Fund Reserve" equal to 1 0% of General Fund Expenditures. This level of reserves is intended to provide the City with sufficient working capital and margin of financial safety to address unforeseen, one-time expenditure emergencies or significant unforeseen declines in revenues in a specific fiscal year, for which there is no other current budgetary resource available, or other designations of fund balance available to satisfy the funding needed. . Reserve Drawdown-Drawdown of the Undesignated General Fund Reserve shall occur only by authorization of City Council. Funds may only be used for the purposes described above, which cannot be covered from contingencies or other sources. The Undesignated General Fund Reserve may not be used for balancing the annual budget due to recurring declines in revenue sources or recurring expenditure increases. . Reserve Replenishment-In the event the Undesignated General Fund Reserve is used, it will be restored to its minimum level within three fiscal years. \ The Director of Finance will submit a plan in writing to City Council that will restore the Undesignated General Fund Reserve to its minimum level within three fiscal years. Risk Management Reserve The City will maintain a Risk Management Reserve to cover some of the risk exposure the City has due to its self-insurance program. The City is currently self-insured for Health Workers' compensation, General Liability, and Automobile claims. . Reserve Floor-The minimum funding level for the Risk Management Reserve is: o 25% of the three year average of self-insured claims costs, o plus 10% of the three year average of fully insured premiums, o plus a $1 million catastrophic reserve. . Reserve Drawdown-Use of the Risk Management Reserve will be used to fund unanticipated risk management expenses. . Reserve Replenishment-In the event the Risk Management Reserve declines below its target level, it will be restored to its minimum within three fiscal years. The Director of Finance will submit a plan in writing to the City Council that will restore the Risk Management Reserve to its minimum level within three fiscal years. ~- ~~ The City of Roanoke Reserve and Debt Management Policies - DRAFT ROANOKE 3 \ DRAFT Economic Downturn Reserve . Reserve Floor- In addition to the 10% Undesignated General Fund Reserve, Roanoke will target an "Economic Downturn Reserve" to smooth its financial operations in the event of an economic downturn. The Economic Downturn Reserve will be maintained in an amount up to 5% of the General Fund Expenditure budget for the current year. The Economic Downturn Reserve will be held as a designated portion of the City's General Fund Balance. o Reserve Drawdown- Drawdown of the Economic Downturn Reserve shall occur only by authorization of City Council. Drawdowns will be limited to less than one-half of the fund balance in any fiscal year. Drawdowns must be made in combination with spending cuts or other measures. The Economic Downturn Reserve may only be used in the event that revenues decline by more than 1.5% of the current year estimate. . Reserve Replenishment-In the event the Economic Downturn Reserve is used, it will be restored to its minimum level within three fiscal years. The Director of Finance will submit a plan in writing to City Council that will restore the Economic Downturn .Reserve to its minimum level within three fiscal years. Economic and Community Development Reserve The following Economic and Community Development and Reserve Policy ("E&CD Reserve") is intended to demonstrate a commitment to financial planning for economic and community development projects which may provide future growth opportunities and expansion of the tax base in Roanoke. The E&CD Reserve will be maintained using the following guidelines: · Reserve Floor-The E&CD Reserve will be maintained at or above a target level of $1.0 million. The E&CD Rese,rve will be a designation within the City's Capital Projects Fund. · Reserve Drawdown-Use of the E&CD Reserve shall occur only by appropriation of City Council for economic or community development projects. Examples of qualifying uses include, but are not limited to, the purchase of property for economic development, economic development incentives, greenway development, and development of infrastructure to support other economic and/or community development projects. The E&CD Reserve may not be used for operating or recurring expenditures. · Reserve Gr:owth and Replenishment-The E&CD Reserve will be maintained at a level at or above its target by allocating interest earnings of the Capital Projects Fund and proceeds from the sale of surplus general government real property. In the event the E&CD Reserve declines below the target level of $1.0 ~~ The City of Roanoke Reserve and Debt Management Policies - DRAFT ROANOKE 4 DRAFT million, it will be restored to its minimum within three fiscal years. E&CD Reserve replenishment may be accomplished by allowing E&CD Reserve growth without appropriation of the E&CD Reserve or by transferring additional funds to the E&CD Reserve. Reserve Fundina Plan With the exception of the Economic and Community Development Reserve, the reserve policies as outlined herein are higher reserve levels than the City currently maintains, In order to meet the various reserve levels, the City will add to its reserves using the funding sources described below and will fill each reserve according to the funding priorities, also described below. This funding method will continue until each reserve is fully funded. Funding Sources . The City will add at least $250,000 to $500,000 (based on funding availability) to the existing reserves, according to the funding priority described below. The City Manager and Director of Finance shall recommend a reserve funding level of at least $250,000 to $500,000 along with each annual budget submission. Additional funds may be directed toward the reserves based on year end surpluses. . Once General Fund estimated revenues for an upcoming budget year return to a level equal to the City's FY2009 revenues, as, adjusted for changes to the Consumer Price Index 1 ("CPI") and any permanent tax rate increases relative to the FY2009 tax rate, the City will add an amount equal to 0.1 % of the revenue growth to the reserves. For example, if revenue growth (as adjusted for changes in CPI and permanent tax increases) is 2%, then the City will add 0.2% of revenues to its reserves. Funding of the reserves in any given year will be limited to the greater of $500,000 or .1 % of local revenue growth (in the event revenues return to their peak level as adjusted before the Undesignated Reserve and the Risk Management Reserve are fully funded) and may be adjusted based on actual revenue growth during the fiscal year. By following this funding methodology, the City will increase its reserves during years of strong financial growth, with the ability to draw on the reserves during challenging years, in accordance with the parameters set forth in this policy. 1 For purposes of this calculation, the City will use the yearly average of the Consumer Price Index- Urban for the South region. ~~ The City of Roanoke Reserve and Debt Management Policies - DRAFT ROANOKE 5 DRAFT Funding Priorities 1. First, the City will fund the Undesignated General Fund Reserve. The City plans to meet the 10% minimum Undesignated General Fund Reserve balance by FY2016. 2.

Third, after the Undesignated General Fund Reserve and Risk Management Reserves are fully funded, the City will fund the Economic Downturn Reserve. ~~ The City of Roanoke Reserve and Debt Management Policies - DRAFT ROANOKE 6 DRAFT Debt Management Policy Introduction One of the keys to sound financial management is the development of a debt policy. This need is recognized by bond rating agencies, and development of a debt policy is a recommended practice by the Government Finance Officers Association. A debt policy establishes the parameters for issuing debt and managing the debt portfolio. It provides guidance to the administration regarding purposes for which debt may be issued, types and amounts of permissible debt and method of sale that may be used. The following debt policy is intended to demonstrate a commitment to long-term financial planning, It will be used in conjunction with the Capital Improvement Programs for both the City and School Board. Adherence to this policy will help assure maintenance of the City's double-A credit ratings. Guidelines for Debt Issuance . The City will prepare and update annually a five-year Capital improvement Program (CIP) to be approved by City Council. The CIP will be developed with an analysis of the City's infrastructure and other capital needs, and the financial impact of the debt service required to meet the recommended financing plan. The City will strive to fund at least 10% of the CIP projects' aggregate cost on a cash basis. . As part of the annual Capital Improvement Program, the Schools shall furnish the City a schedule of funding needs for any school projects for which the issuance of long-term debt is planned. . Each project proposed for financing through debt issuance will have an analysis performed for review of tax impact and future operating costs associated with the project and related debt issuance costs. . All proceeds from debt issuance for the City of Roanoke and the City of Roanoke School Board shall be appropriated by City Council. . Proceeds from the issuance of debt shall be monitored by the investment custodian with regard to arbitrage. Compliance with all applicable federal tax requirements shall be made. The City will coordinate with its investment managers with regard to expected project funds payout so as to maximize investment earnings in light of federal arbitrage requirements. . Long-term debt will be issued to purchase or construct capital improvements or equipment with a minimum expected life of five years. The City will not use long- term borrowing to finance annual operating needs. The term of any bond issue ~~ The City of Roanoke Reserve and Debt Management Policies - DRAFT ROANOKE 7 DRAFT will not exceed the useful life of the capital project /facility or equipment for which the borrowing is intended. . The City will attempt to avoid short-term debt to provide cash flow for annual operations. Debt issued for operating purposes will be limited to cases where there is reasonable certainty that a known source of revenue will be received in the current fiscal year sufficient to repay the debt or where there is a clear financial emergency. . The City will comply with all applicable U.S. Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Treasury arbitrage requirements for bonded indebtedness in order to preserve the tax-exempt status of such bonds. . Bond issues should be planned to minimize the frequency of issuance, thereby ensuring the lowest possible costs of issuance. When determining the size of a bond issue, consideration should be given to the need for construction, debt service and capitalized interest funds. Construction fund draw schedules shall be prepared, and projection of conservative earning on unspent bond funds should be made in conjunction with planning of the City's Capital Improvement Program. . The decision to use bond proceeds to pay interest during construction for revenue-producing projects shall be made on a case by case basis and shall be based on an evaluation of the opportunity cost of funds and the availability of other sources of funds to pay interest costs. . General obligation bonds will be amortized on a level principal basis to the extent practical, and revenue bonds will be amortized on a level debt service basis to the extent practical considering the forecasted available pledged revenues. · The City shall not 'endorse the obligation of any entity other than the City of Roanoke or Roanoke School Board. However, the City may enter into contracts with other regional or local public ~ntitjes with respect to public purpose projects, which provide for certain payments when project or entity revenues prove insufficient to cover debt service on obligation issued to finance such project(s). The City will enter into these type agreements only when there is long-term public and financial interest in the regional or local project. The obligation could be structured as Moral Obligation Bonds, or with an underlying support agreement or other contractual arrangement. These obligations do not affect the legal debt limit of the City and any payments are subject to annual appropriation. However, if such payments were made, the obligations would be considered tax- supported debt. . The City's preferred method of sale of bonds is via competitive sale to underwriters. If deemed advantageous, the City may sell bonds via a negotiated sale, private placement, or other method. Coordination will be made with the ~~ The City of Roanoke Reserve and Debt Management Policies - DRAFT ROANOKE 8 DRAFT City's financial advisor in arriving at a recommendation to issue bonds through a method other than competitive sale. Underwriter Selection . Senior Manager Selection-The City shall select a senior manager for any proposed negotiated sale. The selection criteria shall include, but not be limited to, the following: o Ability and experience in managing transactions similar to that contemplated by the City; o Prior knowledge and experience with the City; o Ability and willingness to risk capital and demonstration of such risk and capital availability; o Quality and experience of personnel assigned to the City's engagement; o Financing plan; and o Underwriting fees. . Co-Manager Selection-Co-managers may be selected on the same basis as the senior manager, In addition to their qualifications, co-managers appointed to specific transactions will be a function of transaction size and the necessity to ensure maximum distribution of the City's bonds. . Underwriter's Counsel-In any negotiated sale of City debt in which legal counsel is required to represent the underwriter, the appointment will be made by the Senior Manager with final approval from the City. . Underwriter's Discount-The City will evaluate the proposed underwriter's discount against comparable issues in the market. If there are multiple underwriters in the transaction, the City will determine the allocation of underwriting liability and management fees, if any. The allocation of fees will be determined prior to the sale date; a cap on management fees, expenses and underwriter's counsel fee will be established and communicated to all parties by the City. The senior manager shall submit an itemized list of expenses charged to members of the underwriting group. Any additional expenses must be substantiated. . Evaluation of Underwriter Performance-In conjunction with its financial advisor, the City will evaluate each bond sale after comp.letion to assess the following: costs of issuance including underwriters' compensation, pricing of the bonds in terms of the overall interest cost and on a maturity-by-maturity basis, and the distribution of bonds and sales credits, ~~ The City of Roanoke Reserve and Debt Management Policies - DRAFT ROANOKE 9 DRAFT . Designation Policies-To encourage the pre-marketing efforts of each member of the underwriting team, orders for the City's bonds will be net designated, unless otherwise expressly stated. The City shall require the senior manager to: o Fairly allocate bonds to other managers and the selling group; o Comply with Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) regulations governing the priority of orders and allocations; and o Within 10 working days after the sale date, submit to the City a detail of orders, allocations and other relevant information pertaining to the City's sale. Limitations on Level of Debt to be Issued and Outstanding Constitutional and Statutory Limitations: · Article VII, Section 10 of the Constitution of Virginia, the Public Finance Act and the City Charter established the City's Legal Debt Margin at 10% if the assessed value of real estate within the City shown by the last preceding assessment for taxes. · The Public Finance Act and the City Charter also establish other limits as to the amounts and types of debt the City may issue. Self-Imposed Debt Targets: . Net tax-supported debt as a percentage of the total taxable assessed value in the City (including real, personal property, and public service corporations) will not exceed 4%. For all of the City's self-imposed debt targets, the City may exclude all or a portion of any bonds or leases that are self-supporting. · Net tax-supported general obligation debt service shall not exceed 10% of General Fund expenditures. · Net tax-supported debt will be structured in a manner such that not less than 60% of the aggregate outstanding tax-supported debt will be retired within ten years.

The City Manager and the Director of Finance shall approve any application to the Commonwealth of Virginia for such debt. City Council shall approve the issuance of the bonds as required by the Public Finance Act. The School Board shall approve such financings before requesting City Council approval. . The City may issue revenue bonds to fund proprietary activities such as water and water pollution control utilities, or for other capital projects that generate adequate revenues from user fees to support operations and debt service requirements. The bonds will include written legal covenants which require that revenue sources are adequate to fund annual operating expenses and annual debt service requirements. . Capital leases may be used to purchase buildings, equipment, furniture and fixtures. The term of any capital lease shall not exceed the useful life of the asset leased. Revenue bonds may be issued by the City or other entity that are secured by a City capital lease. . Short-term borrowing may be utilized for interim financing or for other purposes as described below. The City will determine and utilize the least costly method for short-term borrowing subject to the following policies: o Bond Anticipation Notes (BANs) may be issued for capital related cash purposes to reduce the debt service during the construction period of a project or to provide interim financing for a project. The BANs shall not mature more than 5 years from the date of issuance. o Lines of Credit shall be considered as an alternative to other short-term borrowing options. o Other Short-Term Debt may be used when such instruments provide an interest rate advantage or as interim financing. . Lease financing and master lease obligations, including lease revenue bonds, may be considered as alternative financing structures. Refunding of Debt The City will refund debt when it is in the best financial interest of the City to do so. . Debt Service Savings-When a refunding is undertaken to generate interest rate cost savings, the minimum aggregate present value savings will be 3% of the refunded bond principal amount. The present value savings will be net of all costs related to the financing. If present value savings is less than 3%, the City may consider the refunding efficiency as measured by option value. If the refunding efficiency of a refunding candidate exceeds 70% (on a maturity-by- maturity basis) and present value savings is less that 3%, the City may opt to increase the universe of refunded bonds. ~~ The City of Roanoke Reserve and Debt Management Policies - DRAFT ROANOKE 11 DRAFT . Restructuring-Refundings for restructuring purposes will be limited to' restructuring to alleviate debt service during difficult budgetary years, achieve cost savings, mitigate irregular debt service payments, release reserve funds or remove unduly restrictive bond covenants. . Term of Refunding Issues-The City will refund bonds within the term of the originally issued debt. However, the City may consider maturity extension, when necessary to achieve a desired outcome, provided that such extension is legally permissible. The City also may consider shortening the term of the originally issued debt to realize greater savings. The remaining useful life of the financed facility and the concept of inter-generational equity should guide this decision. · Escrow Structuring-The City shall utilize the least costly securities available in structuring refunding escrows. A certificate will be provided by a third party agent stating that the securities were procured through an arms-length, competitive bid , process (in the case of open market securities), and that the price paid for the securities was reasonable within Federal guidelines. Under no circumstances shall an underwriter, agent or financial advisor sell escrow securities to the City from its own account. . Arbitrage-The City shall take all necessary steps to optimize escrows and to avoid negative arbitrage in its refundings. Any resulting positive arbitrage will be rebated as necessary according to Federal guidelines. Investor Relations, Disclosure and Communication · The debt ratios outlined above will be computed annually and reported in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, along with a computation of net tax- supported debt per capita. · The City will maintain communication with bond rating agencies to keep them abreast of its financial condition by providing them the City's Comprehensive Annual Fi,nancial Report, Annual budget, and Capital Improvement Program. · The City will comply with all of its undertakings in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-21 . Debt Service Fund Balance · The fund balance of the Debt Service Fund shall be reserved for the future payment of annual principal and interest payments, which includes general obligation bonds of the City, including school debt. ~.('i The City of Roanoke Reserve and Debt Management Policies - DRAFT ROANOKE 12 DRAFT Glossary Advance Refunding.

(Del. Cleaveland introduced H. B. 771 in 2010; it did not get out of committee.) Education Funding . The state has a constitutional duty to meet its education funding obligations. The City supports full funding of state education programs including the Standards of Quality, incentive, categorical,' and school facilities programs. The City opposes changes in methodology and changes in the division of [mancial responsibility that result in a shiflof funding responsibility from the state to localities. As an example, the City opposes the elimination or decrease of state funding for state mandated benefits for school employees. The state should consider alternatives 'to generate additional funds to fulfill the constitutional commitment to education. Alternatives could include raising the sales tax or decreasing the amount of funding for the personal property tax exemption program. I The City opposes policies that lower state contributions to education under the Standards of Quality or other programs, but do nothing to address the cost of meeting the requirements in the Standards of Accreditation and Standards of Leaming. The state should not continue to maintain and increase educational requirements while at the same time decreasing state funding. Virginia High School League The Virginia High School League (VHSL) is an important and influential part of the Virginia educational system. As such, City Council and Roanoke City Public Schools (RCPS) believe it is important that the oversight. and organizational structure of the VHSL be examined to ensure its mission, activities and decision-making processes are consistent with those of the state Department of Education and supportive of all Virginia school districts and the unique characteristics therein. :i ~w g~ ~ ~: .-~o .....

Taylor Municipal Building Roanoke, VA 24011 540-853-2431 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I INTRODUCTION The City Council is pleased to commend this Legislative Program for consideration by the 2011 Session of the General Assembly. The City Council, representing all the people of our All-America City, is uniquely qualified to understand the legislative needs of City government and our people. Weare of the opinion that this Program is responsive to those needs. As a policy matter, we continue to believe that local governments are the best vehicles for the delivery of many services to the public because local governments are closest to the people and the most responsive. We continue to be concerned about the cumulative effect of Federal and State legislative and regulatory mandates, many of which are unfunded, the continued erosion of local revenue sources, and the State's fiscal woes. This Program is a combined Program for City Council and the School Board. You will note that ~e have made a conscientious effort to pare our Program down to the issues that we believe are most important to the citizens ofthis City. The City Council portion was prepared by the City Attorney, William Hackworth, with the assistance of comments and suggestions from Council members, City administrators, and citizens. The School Board portion was prepared with the assistance of advice and comments from the School Board and administrators. The entire Program has been carefully reviewed by City Council's Legislative Committee, which consists of all the members of Council, and Lori Vaught and Annette Lewis of the School Board. Upon the recommendation of the Legislative Committee, the Program was adopted and endorsed by City Council on October 18,2010. See Resolution No. 38982- 101810 a copy of which is attached. If during the course of the Session our legislators have questions concerning the position of the City or School Board on legislative matters, they are encouraged to contact us. I also know that representatives of the City and School Board will be in contact with our legislators on many occasions during the 2011 Session, and their consideration of these communications is deeply appreciated. With the support of our legislators, and this City is fortunate to have legislators who are most supportive and responsive to the needs of our City and its citizens, I know that our City government and School Division will be improved and that the quality of life for our citizens will be advanced. (V David A. Bowers, Mayor I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 2011 Legislative Program Le2:islation ReQuested TrausDominion Express Commission. Sen. Edwards has proposed legislation which would establish the TransDominion Express Commission to be responsible, within the TransDominion Corridor, for identifying needed construction, reconstruction, improvements of or repairs to railroads and their facilities and equipment necessary to provide enhanced passenger rail service, coordinated with freight rail opportunities, within the Corridor. The Commission may finance or assist in financing any rail transportation project. (Sen. Edwards patroned S.B. 435 in 2010; it was continued to 2011 in Senate Rules Committee. It would have repealed Chapter 1041 of the 2003 Acts of Assembly, which provided for the creation of a Rail Transportation Development Authority, but never became effective because its "reenactment clause" was never satisfied) Passenger Rail Service. The City of Roanoke supports the proposal to extend passenger rail service from Bristol through Roanoke and on to Lynchburg and then to Washington, D.C., and Richmond, Virginia (the "TransDominion Express"). Roanoke is the largest city in Virginia without passenger rail service. The 2000 General Assembly provided $9 million in preliminary funding for this important economic development initiative. The City supports the additional State funding necessary to place the service into operation. Priority should be give to instituting passenger rail service between Roanoke and Lynchburg, to enable residents of this region access to passenger rail service. Until this can be accomplished, funding should be made available to institute bus service between Roanoke and Lynchburg, coordinated with train schedules. (Senator Edwards patroned S.B. 864 in 2009, which would have created the Rail Transportation Development Authority; it failed to report from the Finance Committee.) School Start Date. The City's School Board should be authorized to set its school calendar so that the first day students are required to attend school shall be no earlier than two weeks prior to Labor Day. (Del. Cleaveland introduced H. B. 771 in 2010; it did not get out of committee.) Evictions. Sections 8.01-156, 55-237.1, and 55-248.38:2, Code of Virginia, either authorize or require (the statutes do not seem consistent in their provisions) sheriffs to remove the personal property of anyone ordered to be evicted from the premises of another and to set such property in the "public way." This is an archaic practice that City neighborhoods have complained of for many years, as it usually creates an unsightly pile of belongings that are left for scavengers and the weather to scatter, until such time as they are either removed by the landlord, or removed by the City, which is a nuisance and an expense to the City's taxpayers. These sections of the Code of Virginia should be amended to eliminate the provisions permitting the personal property of persons being evicted from being placed in the "public way". (Requested by City's Division of Solid Waste Management) 1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Other Lel!islative Priorities Revenue related requests Education Funding. The state has a constitutional duty to meet its education funding obligations. The City supports full funding of state education programs including the Standards of Quality, incentive, categorical, and school facilities programs. The City opposes changes in methodology and changes in the division of financial responsibility that result in a shift of funding responsibility from the state to localities. As an example, the City opposes the elimination or decrease of state funding for state mandated benefits for school employees. The state should consider alternatives to generate additional funds to fulfill the constitutional commitment to education. Alternatives could include raising the sales tax or decreasing the amount of funding for the personal property tax exemption program. The City opposes policies that lower state contributions to education under the Standards of Quality or other programs, but do nothing to address the cost of meeting the requirements in the Standards of Accreditation and Standards of Learning. The state should not continue to maintain and increase educational requirements while at the same time decreasing state funding. Restore State Budget Cuts. The State should restore the funding reductions in local aid made during the last legislative session, and not make any further reductions in local funding. BPOL and Machinery and Tools Taxes. . The City oppose efforts by the state to limit local government taxing authority, such as eliminating the business license tax or the machinery and tools tax. Arts and Cultural Organizations. The Commonwealth should continue funding for the Virginia Commission for the Arts, which makes grants to local arts art and cultural organizations. According to a recent study by the Arts Council of the Blue Ridge, such organizations and local artists account for about $18 million in tourist spending in the area, and $760,000 in local and state tax revenues. Drug Court. State funding should be maintained for the City's very successful drug court. Fee for Domestic Violence and Domestic Related Offenses. Enabling legislation authorizing localities to impose a fee of $50.00 on those convicted of domestic violence and domestic related offenses would help offset the expense of domestic violence investigations and provide services to victims. This fee would be separate from and in addition to any fine and/or costs otherwise imposed by the courts. (Suggested by the Roanoke Domestic Violence Task Force. ) State Aid to Public Libraries. State aid to public libraries has been cut dramatically since full-funding was last achieved in FY 2001. In fiscal year 2010 state aid is only funded at 56% of the level mandated by the Code of Virginia, which has produced a shortfall in state aid to public libraries of nearly $7 million per year. The 2010 General Assembly approved an additional 15% reduction in state aid for fiscal years 2011 and 2012 which will drop state support to nearly 50% ofthe state funding required. Law Library Fee. Sec. 42.1-70, Code of Virginia, authorizes localities to assess a sum of up to $4.00 on any civil action filed in their courts in order to help maintain a law library. The City's law library has seen costs go 2 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I up, and use by the public has increased substantially. It is requested that the permitted fee be increased to at least $7.00. (Requested by Sheila Umberger, City Librarian.) Payment of Taxes, Fees, and Fines Owed the City. Sec. 15.2-2286.B, Code of Virginia, permits localities to require applicants for special exceptions, special use permits, variances, rezonings or other land disturbing permits, including building permits and erosion and sediment control permits, to produce satisfactory evidence that any delinquent real estate taxes owed the locality have been paid. It is requested that this section be amended to include any taxes (such as personal property), fees, or fines owed the locality by the owner ofthe subject property. (Requested by Division of Planning, Building and Development.) Abused and Neglected Animals. By State law, localities are required to provide emergency veterinary treatment for animals found to be abandoned, abused, or neglected. Most of these animals have been abandoned, their ownership unknown, and they are unclaimed. At a minimum emergency veterinary care costs $125.00. In 2008, the Police Department expended over $13,000.00 for such care. Legislation is requested requiring every person convicted of an animal-related offense under State or local law pay a fee of $15.00, which fee may be used by localities to help cover the expense of providing emergency veterinary care. (Requested by Police Department.) Sales Tax Payments by State. Section 58.1-605.F, Code of Virginia, gives the State Department of Taxation a six-month time period in which to distribute to localities sales taxes that are incorrectly paid to another locality, after an audit reveals that an incorrect distribution of such taxes has been made. Localities owed such taxes lose interest on such payments if not paid promptly to the correct locality. It is proposed that the six month time period permitted for such payments be reduced to thirty days. (Requested by Dana Long, Manager, Billings and Collections.) Penalty for Untaxed Cigarettes. Section 58.1-3832.5, Code of Virginia, provides that localities may impose a penalty for fraud or evasion of payment of a cigarette tax, but limits the penalty to an amount not to exceed fifty percent of the tax owed. At the current tax rate of $.57 per carton, the maximum penalty which may be imposed is $.27 per carton. This limit should be increased, or a penalty in a stated dollar amount authorized. (Requested by Dana Long, Manager, Billings and Collections.) Untaxed Cigarettes. Section 58.1-3832.5, Code of Virginia, authorizes localities to adopt ordinances making it a misdemeanor for persons to possess more than six cartons of untaxed cigarettes. This should be amended to make it a misdemeanor to possess any amount of untaxed cigarettes. (Requested by Dana Long, Manager, Billings and Collections.) Fee for Transporting Arrestees. Legislation should be adopted authorizing localities to impose a fee ($5.00 is suggested) for each time an arrestee must be transported by local law enforcement, such as transportil1:g them to a holding facility, such fee to be imposed upon the person if convicted of the crime for which he or she was arrested. Such fee would be used to offset the cost of transporting arrestees. (Requested by Roanoke City Police Department.) Conservation Easements. The State should provide some incentive, financial or otherwise, for localities which place land owned by them under a conservation easement, such as assisting in paying for any necessary surveys. 3 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Tax-Exempt Financing. Although it has not yet been an issue in the City, in some Virginia localities (Norfolk and Virginia Beach, for example) large tax-exempt bond financings have been undertaken for non-profits by the Virginia Small Business Financing Authority (VSBF A), rather than by the local industrial or economic development authority. This deprives local authorities and their localities of any "say" in the projects, and deprives the local IDAs/EDAs of the administrative fees that they receive for issuing such bonds. VSBFA bonds should be limited to small businesses, and the amount of bonds it may issue be capped, so that it does not compete with local IDAs and EDAs. Requests related to Quality of life/public health, safety and welfare Preserve Sovereign Immunity. On October 23, 2009, the Boyd-Graves Conference (composed of lawyers who represent the interests of both plaintiffs and defendants) voted to recommend that the sovereign immunity of Virginia localities be limited, and that the Virginia Tort Claims Act be extended to apply to localities. The Act currently applies to the Commonwealth. One justification cited for this action is that the current system of tort liability is confusing and unfair, in that counties have total sovereign immunity, while cities have liability for injuries incurred during the performance of a "proprietary" function, but have immunity when injuries are incurred during the performance of a "governmental function". Abolishing sovereign immunity could be very expensive for the City's taxpayers. The City joins with the Virginia Municipal League in opposing placing the City and other localities under the Virginia Tort Claims Act. Dangerous Weapons in Government Buildings. The City joins with the Virginia Municipal League in supporting legislation to allow local governments to prohibit or restrict the carrying of dangerous weapons in city and town halls, county administration buildings, public libraries, public community and recreation centers, and public convention/conference centers. Section 15.2-742, Code of Virginia, currently prohibits localities from adopting or enforcing any such prohibition or restriction with regard to firearms. Virginia High School League. The Virginia High School League (VHSL) is an important and influential part of the Virginia educational system. As such, City Council and Roanoke City Public Schools (RCPS) believe it is important that the oversight and organizational structure of the VHSL be examined to ensure its mission, activities and decision-making processes are consistent with those of the state Department of Education and supportive of all Virginia school districts and the unique characteristics therein. Outdoor Lighting. Legislation is requested which would authorize the City to regulate, through its zoning ordinance, exterior illumination levels of the lighting on new buildings and structures. Albemarle and Prince William Counties (see ~15.2-504.1, Code of Virginia) and Arlington County (see 915.2-742, Code of Virginia) have this authority. Predatory Lending Practices. Local governments must retain the authority to regulate the location and number of payday lending institutions, and the state should limit the effective interest rates and fees charged on loans to 36 percent 4 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Plastic Bags. The City supports legislation such as H. B. 521, introduced by Del. Morrissey in 2011, that would prohibit retailers from providing customers with plastic bags unless they are (i) durable with handles, (ii) at least 2.25 mils thick, and (iii) specifically designed and manufactured for multiple use. San Francisco, the Outer Banks (Currituck, Dare and Hyde Counties), and several other cities (including Paris and London) have banned such bags, and several other states and cities are considering such a ban. (Requested by City's Transportation Division, which reports that it must spend as much time picking up litter from City rights-of-way as it does in mowing along them.) In the alternative, the City requests that localities be authorized to impose a fee on each plastic bag distributed by retailers, with such fees to be devoted to litter prevention. Washington D. C. ' s 5 cent tax on plastic bags, instated just this past January, has already proven to have a phenomenal impact: the number of plastic bags handed out by supermarkets and other establishments dropped from the 2009 monthly average of 22.5 million to just 3 million in January 2010. While significantly reducing plastic waste, the tax simultaneously generated $150,000 in revenue, which will be used to clean up the Anacostia River. Chronic Nuisance Properties. The City requests enabling legislation that would authorize it to adopt a "probationary and rental occupancy permit" ordinance similar to the ordinance adopted by the City of Raleigh, North Carolina, to deal with properties that are the source of chronic nuisance complaints, such as repeated breaches of the peace, property maintenance violations, zoning violations, weeds, trash, inoperable motor vehicles, and criminal offenses such as drug and alcohol offenses, prostitution, noise, disorderly conduct, and similar offenses. Raleigh requires the owners of rental property with repeated offenses of this type to register with the City for a two-year probationary period, and pay a registration fee. The City provides training to such landlords to assist them to avoid nuisances on their properties. Enforcement relies on civil, rather than criminal, penalties, in a graduated scale. Repeat violations can result in the owner of the rental property being prohibited from renting it for a period of time. Further information is available from the City's Division of Planning, Building and Development ' Rental Inspection. Amend Section 36-105.1:1, Code of Virginia, to authorize localities that have rental inspection programs to require the owner of any multifamily development with more than ten dwelling units to erect a sign on the property identifying the name, address, and phone number of the person or entity that manages the development. (Proposed in 2009 by informal blight study group of certain localities in which the City participated.) Smoking in Certain Public Places Outdoors. Enabling legislation should be enacted to authorize localities to regulate or prohibit smoking in defined areas outdoors, specifically in proximity to the entrance to public buildings, and in areas where children's programs or sports are being conducted. These are areas where citizens are exposed to tobacco smoke, and they often complain of it. Localities currently have no authority to regulate smoking in such areas. Vacant Building Registration. Section 15.2-1127, Code of Virginia, authorizes cities, by ordinance, to require the owners of buildings that have been vacant for a continuous period of twelve months or more to register such buildings on an annual basis, and to impose an annual registration fee not to exceed $25.00. This registration fee is inadequate, and should be increased to an amount "not to exceed $250.00." (Del. Ware introduced H. B. 363 in 2010; it was left in committee.) 5 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ReQuests related to law enforcement/domestic violence. Distracted Driving. Legislation should be adopted prohibiting operators of motor vehicles upon public highways from driving with pets in their laps. (Requested by Police Department.) (H. B. 533 was introduced in 2008 that would have added a Section 46.2-811.1 to the Code of Virginia to accomplish this.) Pedestrians Trespassing on Highways. Currently, pedestrians who trespass on the right-of-way of Interstate or limited access highways can only be charged with a "traffic infraction" under rules promulgated by the State's Transportation Board. In order to promote safety, legislation should be adopted making this a misdemeanor. (Requested by Police Department.) Domestic Violence Offense. Legislation should be adopted establishing a requirement that prosecution of any domestic violence offense involving a knife or a gun be expedited. (Suggested by Roanoke Domestic Violence Task Force.) Sale of Spray Paint. Legislation should be enacted that would prohibit the sale of spray paint to mmors, unless accompanied by an adult. (Requested by Police Department.) Definition of Prostitution. The definition of "prostitution" in Section 18.2-346, Code of Virginia, should be amended. To convict someone of prostitution, three elements of the crime must be established: an agreement to perform a sex act, an agreement to exchange money or its equivalent for such act, and then the performance of a "substantial act" in furtherance of the crime. According to the Police Department, the "substantial" requirement makes it difficult to convict those guilty of prostitution. It is suggested that either this word be deleted, or replaced with the word "material." (Requested by Police Department.) In addition, language should be added further defining "prostitution", as follows: ~ 18.2-346. Being a prostitute or prostitution. A. Any person who, for money or its equivalent, commits adultery, fornication, any physical act ),vith the intent to se:\:ual~v gratifj' another, or any act in violation of ~ 18.2-361, or offers to commit adultery, fornication, any ph.vsical act with the intent to sexually gratijv another, or any act in violation of ~ 18.2-361 and thereafter oo.esperforms any substantialmaterial act in furtherance thereof, shall be guilty of being a prostitute, or prostitution, which shall be punishable as a Class 1 misdemeanor. B. Any person who offers money or its equivalent to another for the purpose of engaging in sexual acts as enumerated above and thereafter f.:le.espeljorms any 5-HhstaBfialmaterial act in furtherance thereof shall be guilty of solicitation of prostitution and shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. C ReQuests related to 2:eneral 2:overnment. Legal Advertising. The City and its citizens expend tens of thousands of dollars annually to publish legal ads in newspapers, as required by various State laws for various types of notices. State law should be changed 6 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I to permit some of these notices to be given by the Internet or by radio or television, in order to reduce costs, or the required number of publications of such ads should be reduced. Examples: Section 15.2-2285. Notice of all zoning text amendments and rezonings must be advertised twice before they are considered by the planning commission, then twice again before being considered by the governing body. Section 15.2-2606.A. Two ads must be published for all public hearings on bond issues. Section 15.2-3107. Two ads must be published before localities can agree on voluntary boundary line adjustments. " Section 15.2-107. Two ads must be published before zoning or subdivision fees, or sewer and water fees, can be imposed or raised. 'FOIA. An exemption should be added to Section 2.2-3711 of the Freedom of Information Act to permit governing bodies to discuss in closed meetings the granting of economic development incentives for projects which already have been announced publicly. Section 2.2-3711.5 of the Freedom of Information Act should allow public bodies to meet in closed session to deal with the possibility of the closing or relocation of a business. SCHOOL BOARD LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES City Council endorses the School Board Legislative Program in its entirety and attaches and incorporates it into the City Legislative Program. School Start Date. The City's School Board should be authorized to set its school calendar so that the first day students are required to attend school shall be no earlier than two weeks prior to Labor Day. (Del. Cleaveland introduced H. B. 771 in 2010; it did not get out of committee.) Education Funding. The state has a constitutional duty to meet its education funding obligations. The City supports full funding of state education programs including the Standards of Quality, incentive, categorical, and school facilities programs. The City opposes changes in methodology and changes in the division of financial responsibility that result in a shift of funding responsibility from the state to localities. As an example, the City opposes the elimination or decrease of state funding for state mandated benefits for school employees. The state should consider alternatives to generate additional funds to fulfill the constitutional commitment to education. Alternatives could include raising the sales tax or decreasing the amount of funding for the personal property tax exemption program. The City opposes policies that lower state contributions to education under the Standards of Quality or other programs, but do nothing to address the cost of meeting the requirements in the Standards of Accreditation and Standards of Learning. The state should not continue to maintain and increase educational requirements while at the same time decreasing state funding. Virginia High School League. The Virginia High School League (VHSL) is an important and influential part of the Virginia educational system. As such, City Council and Roanoke City Public Schools (RCPS) believe it is important that the oversight and organizational structure of the VHSL be examined to ensure its mission, activities and decision-making processes are consistent with those of the state Department of Education and supportive of all Virginia school districts and the unique characteristics therein. 7 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I "'~ IN THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROANOKE, VIRGINIA The 18th day of October, 2010.

C. 2053 J September 23, 2010 Mr. Christopher Morrill City of Roanoke 215 Church Avenue, SW Room 364 Roanoke, VA 24011-0000 Dear Mr. Morrill: Congratulations on your recent award. In establishing financial assistance programs, Congress linked the receipt of Federal funding to compliance with Federal civil rights laws. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice is responsible for ensuring that recipients of financial aid from OJP, its component offices and bureaus, the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), and the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) comply with applicable Federal civil rights statutes and regulations. We at OCR are available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that come with Justice Department funding. Ensuring Access to Federally Assisted Programs As you know, Federal laws prohibit recipients of financial assistance from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, or disability in funded programs or activities, not only in respect to employment practices but also in the delivery of services or benefits. Federal Jaw also prohibits funded programs or activities from discriminating on the basis of age in the delivery of services or benefits. Providing Services to Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Individuals In accordance with Department ofJustice Guidance pertaining to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. S 2000d, recipients of Federal financial assistance must take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to their programs and activities for persons with limited English proficiency (LEP). For more infonnation on the civil rights responsibilities that recipients have in providing language services "to LEP individuals, please see the website at http://www.1ep.gov. Ensuring Equal Treatment for Faith-Based Organizations The Department of Justice has published a regulation specifically pertaining to the funding offaith-based organizations. In general, the regulation, Participation in Justice Department Programs by Religious Organizations; Providing for Equal Treatment of all Justice Department Program Participants, and known as the Equal Treatment Regulation 28 C.F.R. part 38, requires State Administering Agencies to treat these organizations the same as any other applicant or recipient. The regulation prohibits State Administering Agencies from making award or grant administration decisions on the basis of an organization's religious character or affiliation, religious name, or the religIOUS composition of its board of directors. The regulation also prohibits faith-based organizations from using financial assistance from the Department of Justice to fund inherently religious activities. While faith-based organizations can engage in non-funded inherently religious activities, they must be held separately from the Department of Justice funded program, and customers or beneficiaries cannot be compelled to participate in them. The Equal Treatment Regulation also makes clear that organizations participating in programs funded by the Department of Justice are not pennitted to discriminate in the provision of services on the basis of a beneficiary's religion. For more infonnation on the regulation, please see OCR's website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/etfbo.htm. State Administering Agencies and faith-based organizations should also note that the Safe Streets Act, as amended; the Victims of Crime Act, as amended; and the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, as amended, contain prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of religion in employment. Despite these nondiscrimination provisions, the Justice Department has concluded that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) is reasonably construed, on a case-by-case basis, to require that its funding agencies pennit faith-based organizations applying for funding under the applicable program statutes both to receive DOJ funds and to continue considering religion when hiring staff, even if the statute that authorizes the funding program generally forbids considering of religion in employment decisions by grantees. Questions about the regulation or the application of RFRA to the statutes that prohibit discrimination in employment may be directed to this Office. Enforcing Civil Rights Laws All recipients of Federal financial assistance, regardless of the particular funding source, the amount of the grant award, or the number of employees in the workforce, are subject to the prohibitions against unlawful discrimination. Accordingly, OCR investigates recipients that are the subject of discrimination complaints from both individuals and groups. In addition, based on regulatory criteria, OCR selects a number of recipients each year for compliance reviews, audits that require recipients to submit data showing that they are providing serVices equitably to all segments of their service population and that. their employment practices meet equal employment opportunity standards. Complying with the Safe Streets Act or Program Requirements In addition to these general prohibitions, an organization which is a recipient of financial assistance subject to the nondiscrimination provisions of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act (Safe Streets Act) of 1968, 42 D.S.C. S 3789d(c), or other Federal grant program requirements, must meet two additional requirements:(l) complying with Federal regulations pertaining to the development of an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan (EEOP), 28 C.F.R. S 42.301-.308, and (2) submitting to OCR Findings of Discrimination (see 28 C.F.R. SS 42.205(5) or 31.202(5)). 1) Meeting the EEOP Requirement In accordance with Federal regulations, Assurance No.6 in the Standard Assurances, COPS Assurance No. 8.B, or certain Federal grant program requirements, your organization must comply with the following EEOP reporting requirements: If your organization has received an award for $500,000 or more and has 50 or more employees (counting both full- and part-time employees but excluding political appointees), then it has to prepare an EEOP and submit it to OCR for review within 60 days from the date of this letter. For assistance in developing an EEOP, please consult OCR's website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/eeop.htm. You may also request technical assistance from an EEOP specialist at OCR by dialing (202) 616-3208. If your organization received an award between $25,000 and $500,000 and has 50 or more employees, your organization still has to prepare an EEOP, but it does not have to submit the EEOP to OCR for review. Instead, your organization has to maintain the EEOP on file and make it available for review on request. In addition, your organization has to complete Section B of the Certification Form and return it to OCR. The Certification Form can be found at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/eeop.htm. If your organization received an award for less than $25,000; or if your organization has less than 50 employees, regardless of the amount of the award; or if your organization is a medical institution, educational institution, nonprofit organization or Indian tribe, then your organization is exempt from the EEOP requirement. However, your organization must complete Section A of the Certification Form and return it to OCR. The Certification Form can be found at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/eeop.htm. 2) Submitting Findings of Discrimination In the event a Federal or State court or Federal or State administrative agency makes an adverse finding of discrimination against your organization after a due process hearing, on the ground of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex, your organization must.submit a copy of the finding to OCR for review. Ensuring the Compliance of Subrecipients If your organization makes subawards to other agencies, you are responsible for assuring that subrecipients also comply with all of the applicable Federal civil rights laws, including the requirements pertaining to developing and submitting an EEOP, reporting Findings of Discrimination, and providing language services to LEP persons. State agencies that make subawards must have in place standard grant assurances and review procedures to demonstrate that they are effectively monitoring the civil rights compliance of subrecipients. If we can assist you in any way in fulfilling your civil rights responsibilities as a recipient of Federal funding, please call OCR at (202) 307- 0690 or visit our website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/.

In FY 2009, the City undertook single-family housing development .in the neighborhood through a collaborative planning effort with the community's public and nonprofit housing agencies. TAP is one of the housing agencies engaged in this effort and has an agreement with the City to build or rehabilitate 8 single- family homes to be sold to income-eligible buyers and repair 40 owner- or tenant- occupied homes, for which the agreement provides $1,177,480 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds. TAP has committed over $372,000 in cash and/or in-kind contributions toward the development of these homes. The City's HUD plan for FY2011 provides an additional $398,681 in CDBG and HOME funds to TAP for 2 more single-family homes to be built or rehabilitated for sale and repairs to 20 additional owner- or tenant-occupied homes, toward which TAP has committed $84,000 in additional cash and/or in-kind contributions.

The action sought by this report will provide these funds by amending TAP's FY 2009 agreement. The agreement currently calls for completing all homes by June 30, 2011.

C K:\Measures\Code Amendment Repealing2-188.1.doc CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT To: Meeting: Subject: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council November 1, 2010 Financial Policies Revisions Background: Financial policies are an important component of strong municipal government management. Rating agencies and other capital market participants consider the City's adherence to and periodic review of its financial policies to be an indication of strong financial management. Standard and Poor's ranks the establishment of formalized financial policies as one of the most important financial management best practices they look for in highly rated credits. Moody's Investors Service cites fund balance policies and debt planning that include targets and maximum debt levels as two of the six critical components of strong municipal management. Fitch Ratings includes policies on debt affordability and fund balances as among the best financial management practices for governmental issuers. The City has a number of financial policies including reserve policies, a debt policy, budget policies, an investment policy and others. The City's reserve and debt policies have been comprehensively reviewed by City Administration and by our financial advisory firm, Public Financial Management, Inc. (PFM). City Council was briefed regarding recommended revisions to these policies on October 7, 2010. Upon feedback from City Council and further research, along with consultation with PFM, the following changes are recommended to our policies. Reserves · Move the Budget Stabilization Reserve into Undesignated Fund balance. Replace the current Budget Stabilization policy requirement of 5-8% of budget with the policy that the Unreserved, Undesignated Fund Balance will be at a minimum of 10% of budget · Repeal City Code section 2-188.1, Reserve for self-insured liabilities · Develop a Risk Management Reserve that calls for a reserve equal 25% average self insured claims plus 10% average fully insured premiums plus $1 million catastrophic reserve · The Director of Finance, in consultation with the City Manager, will develop a recommended funding plan that will provide incremental funding of .1 % to .2% of the budget annually (approximately $250,000 to $500,000) or as needed to ensure these reserves are fully established by 2016 · Once revenues return to their peak level of fiscal year 2009 as adjusted for the consumer price index and any tax rate increases, develop an Economic Mayor and Members of City Council November 1, 2010 Downturn Reserve that will grow to 5% through allocation of a portion of revenue growth . Funding of the reserves in any given year will be limited to the greater of $500,000 or .1 % of local revenue growth (in the event revenues return to their peak level as adjusted before the Undesignated Reserve ~nd the Risk Management Reserve are fully funded) and may be adjusted based on actual revenue growth during the fiscal year . Such Economic Downturn Reserve could only be used if revenues decline by more than 1.5% of the current year estimate with drawdowns limited to half of the reserve balance . Retain the Economic and Community Development Reserve . The replenishment requirement for any use of reserves will be a three-year period to return the reserve to at least the minimum required level Debt · Reduce the allowable ratio of net debt to assessed value to 4% from 5% · Modify our assessed value ratio such as to include not only real estate but also personal property and public service corporation tax · Increase the required principal payment within ten years from 50% to 60% . Strive to fund 10% of the CIP using cash · Remove investment components from debt policy and place in separate investment policy . Add underwriter selection to debt policy · Add sections to address short-term borrowing and lease financing · Modify guidance for refunding of debt to establish greater flexibility yet assure prudent fiscal management These changes will help ensure the City of Roanoke adheres to the standards of strong financial management while meeting our operating and capital objectives. The recommended Reserve and Debt Management Policies document is attached. Recommended Action: City Council repeal Resolution 37053-051005, Budget Stabilization Reserve Policy, Resolution 37056-051005, Economic and Community Development Reserve Policy and Resolution 37054-051005, Debt Policy. City Council adopt the accompanying ordinance to repeal section 2-188.1 of Roanoke City Code. Mayor and Members of City Council November 1, 2010 City Council adopt the accompanying resolution to adopt the Reserve and Debt Management Policies, dated November 1, 2010, attached to this report, and to repeal the three resolutions described above. ~~- ANN H.
