The Cable Committee reduced the budget amount by $15,000 to arrive at an amount of $363,813 as the amount to be requested from the mem- ber localities. The remaining amount of $15,00o needed for RVTV's 2012 -2013 Operating Budget will be funded from RVTV's Year -End Rollover Account as mentioned in the prior sentence. The proposed budget includes funding for closed captioning services for both the City Council and the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors Meetings. However, at the City's request, RVTV will also broadcast the monthly 9 a.m. City Council Briefings or Sessions for the next fiscal year.

The Shelter Plus Care program (S +C) is authorized by title IV, subtitle F, of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act (the McKinney Act) (42 U.S.C. 11403- 11407b). S +C is designed to link rental assistance to supportive services for hard -to -serve homeless persons with disabilities (primarily those who are seriously mentally ill; have chronic problems with alcohol, drugs, or both; or have acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and related diseases) and their families. The program provides grants to be used for rental assistance for permanent housing for homeless persons with disabilities. Rental assistance grants must be matched in the aggregate by supportive services that are equal in value to the amount of rental assistance and appropriate to the needs of the population to be served. Recipients are chosen on a competitive basis nationwide. (b) Components. Rental assistance is provided through four components described in § 582.100. Applicants may apply for assistance under any one of the four components, or a combination.

The supportive services may be newly created for the program or already in operation, and may be provided or funded by other Federal, State, local, or private programs in accordance with 42 U.S.C. 11403b. This statute provides that a recipient may use funds from any source, including any other Federal source (but excluding the specific statutory subtitle from which S +C 24 CFR Ch. V (4 -1 -09 Edition) funds are provided), as well as State, local, and private sources, provided that funds from the other source are not statutorily prohibited to be used as a match. (2) Only services that are provided after the execution of the grant agreement may count toward the match. (3) It is the responsibility of the recipient to ensure that any funds or services used to satisfy the matching requirements of this section are eligible under the laws governing the funds or services to be used as matching funds or services for a grant awarded under this program. (b) Availability to participants. Recipients must give reasonable assurances that supportive services will be available to participants for the entire term of the rental assistance. The value of the services provided to a participant, however, does not have to equal the amount of rental assistance provided that participant, nor does the value have to be equal to the amount of rental assistance on a year -to -year basis. (c) Calculating the value of supportive services. In calculating the amount of the matching supportive services, applicants may count: (1) Salaries paid to staff of the recipient to provide supportive services to S +C participants; (2) The value of supportive services provided by other persons or organizations to S +C participants; (3) The value of time and services contributed by volunteers at the rate of $10.00 an hour, except for donated professional services which may be counted at the customary charge for the service provided (professional services are services ordinarily performed by donors for payment, such as the services of health professionals, that are equivalent to the services they provide in their occupations); (4) The value of any lease on a building used for the provision of supportive services, provided the value included in the match is no more than the prorated share used for the program; and (5) The cost of outreach activities, as described in § 582.325(a) of this part.

Neither the Federal government nor a State or local government receiving funds under S +C programs shall discriminate against an organization on the basis of the organization's religious character or affiliation. (2) Organizations that are directly funded under the S +C program may not engage in inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization as part of the programs or services funded under this part. If an organization conducts such activities, the activities must be offered separately, in time or location, from the programs or services funded under this part, and participation must be voluntary for the beneficiaries of the HUD - funded programs or services. (3) A religious organization that participates in the S +C program will retain its independence from Federal, State, and local governments, and may continue to carry out its mission, including the definition, practice and expression of its religious beliefs, provided that it does not use direct S +C funds to support any inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization. Among other things, faith -based organizations may use space in their facilities to provide S +C- funded services, without removing religious art, icons, scriptures, or other religious symbols. In addition, an S +C- funded religious organization retains its authority over § 582.120 its internal governance, and it may retain religious terms in its organization's name, select its board members on a religious basis, and include religious references in its organization's mission statements and other governing documents.

(Approved by the Office of Management and Budget under control number 2506 -0118) [58 FR 13892, Mar. 15, 1993, as amended at 61 FR 51171, Sept. 30, 1996] § 582.305 Housing quality standards; rent reasonableness. (a) Housing quality standards. Housing assisted under this part must meet the www.hud.gov espanol.hud.gov Page 12 § 582.310 applicable housing quality standards (HQS) under § 982.401 of this title- except that § 982.4010) of this title does not apply and instead part 35, subparts A, B, K and R of this title apply -and, for SRO under § 882.803(b) of this title. Before any assistance will be provided on behalf of a participant, the recipient, or another entity acting on behalf of the recipient (other than the owner of the housing), must physically inspect each unit to assure that the unit meets the HQS. Assistance will not be provided for units that fail to meet the HQS, unless the owner corrects any deficiencies within 30 days from the date of the lease agreement and the recipient verifies that all deficiencies have been corrected. Recipients must also inspect all units at least annually during the grant period to ensure that the units continue to meet the HQS. (b) Rent reasonableness. HUD will only provide assistance for a unit for which the rent is reasonable. For TRA, PRA, and SRA, it is the responsibility of the recipient to determine whether the rent charged for the unit receiving rental assistance is reasonable, in relation to rents being charged for comparable unassisted units, taking into account the location, size, type, quality, amenities, facilities, and management and maintenance of each unit, as well as not in excess of rents currently being charged by the same owner for comparable unassisted units. For SRO, rents are calculated in accordance with 24 CFR 882.805(8). [58 FR 13892, Mar. 15, 1993, as amended at 61 FR 51171, Sept. 30, 1996; 64 FR 50226, Sept. 15, 1999] § 582.310 Resident rent. (a) Amount of rent. Each participant must pay rent in accordance with section 3(a)(1) of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437a(a)(1)), except that in determining the rent of a person occupying an intermediate care facility assisted under title XIX of the Social Security Act, the gross income of this person is the same as if the person were being assisted under title XVI of the Social Security Act. (b) Calculating income. (1) Income of participants must be calculated in accordance with 24 CFR 5.609 and 24 CFR 5.611(a). 24 CFR Ch. V (4 -1 -09 Edition) (2) Recipients must examine a participant's income initially, and at least annually thereafter, to determine the amount of rent payable by the participant. Adjustments to a participant's rental payment must be made as necessary. (3) As a condition of participation in the program, each participant must agree to supply the information or documentation necessary to verify the participant's income. Participants must provide the recipient information at any time regarding changes in income or other circumstances that may result in changes to a participant's rental payment. [66 FR 6225, ]an. 19, 2001] § 582.315 Occupancy agreements. (a) Initial occupancy agreement. Participants must enter into an occupancy agreement for a term of at least one month. The occupancy agreement must be automatically renewable upon expiration, except on prior notice by either party. (b) Terms of agreement. In addition to standard lease provisions, the occupancy agreement may also include a provision requiring the participant to take part in the supportive services provided through the program as a condition of continued occupancy. § 582.320 Termination of assistance to participants. (a) Termination of assistance. The recipient may terminate assistance to a participant who violates program requirements or conditions of occupancy. Recipients must exercise judgment and examine all extenuating circumstances in determining when violations are serious enough to warrant termination, so that a participant's assistance is terminated only in the most severe cases. Recipients are not prohibited from resuming assistance to a participant whose assistance has been terminated. (b) Due process. In terminating assistance to a participant, the recipient must provide a formal process that recognizes the rights of individuals receiving assistance to due process of law. This process, at a minimum, must consist of: www.hud.gov espanol.hud.gov Page 13 Ofc. of Asst. Secy., Comm. Planning, Develop., HUD (1) Written notice to the participant containing a clear statement of the reasons for termination; (2) A review of the decision, in which the participant is given the opportunity to present written or oral objections before a person other than the person (or a subordinate of that person) who made or approved the termination decision; and (3) Prompt written notice of the final decision to the participant. § 582.325 Outreach activities. Recipients must use their best efforts to ensure that eligible hard -to -reach persons are served by S +C. Recipients are expected to make sustained efforts to engage eligible persons so that they may be brought into the program. Outreach should be primarily directed toward eligible persons who have a nighttime residence that is an emergency shelter or a public or private place not designed for, or ordinarily used as, a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings (e.g., persons living in cars, streets, and parks). Outreach activities are considered to be a supportive service, and the value of such activities that occur after the execution of the grant agreement may be included in meeting the matching requirement. § 582.330 Nondiscrimination and equal opportunity requirements. (a) General. Recipients may establish a preference as part of their admissions procedures for one or more of the statutorily targeted populations (i.e., seriously mentally ill, alcohol or substance abusers, or persons with AIDS and related diseases). However, other eligible disabled homeless persons must be considered for housing designed for the target population unless the recipient can demonstrate that there is sufficient demand by the target population for the units, and other eligible disabled homeless persons would not benefit from the primary supportive services provided. (b) Compliance with requirements. (1) In addition to the nondiscrimination and equal opportunity requirements set forth in 24 CFR part 5, recipients serving a designated population of § 582.330 homeless persons must, within the designated population, comply with the prohibitions against discrimination against handicapped individuals under section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794) and implementing regulations at 41 CFR chapter 60 -741. (2) The nondiscrimination and equal opportunity requirements set forth at part 5 of this title are modified as follows: (i) The Indian Civil Rights Act (25 U.S.C. 1301 et seq.) applies to tribes when they exercise their powers of self - government, and to IRAs when established by the exercise of such powers. When an IHA is established under State law, the applicability of the Indian Civil Rights Act will be determined on a case -by -case basis. Projects subject to the Indian Civil Rights Act must be developed and operated in compliance with its provisions and all implementing HUD requirements, instead of title VI and the Fair Housing Act and their implementing regulations. (ii) [Reserved] (c) Affirmative outreach. (1) If the procedures that the recipient intends to use to make known the availability of the program are unlikely to reach persons of any particular race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, familial status, or handicap who may qualify for assistance, the recipient must establish additional procedures that will ensure that interested persons can obtain information concerning the assistance. (2) The recipient must adopt procedures to make available information on the existence and locations of facilities and services that are accessible to persons with a handicap and maintain evidence of implementation of the procedures. (d) The accessibility requirements, reasonable modification, and accommodation requirements of the Fair Housing Act and of section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. [58 FR 13892, Mar. 15, 1993, as amended at 61 FR 5210, Feb. 9, 1996] www.hud.gov espanol.hud.gov Page 14 § 582.335 § 582.335 Displacement, relocation, and real property acquisition. (a) Minimizing displacement. Consistent with the other goals and objectives of this part, recipients must assure that they have taken all reasonable steps to minimize the displacement of persons (families, individuals, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and farms) as a result of supportive housing assisted under this part. (b) Relocation assistance for displaced persons. A displaced person (defined in paragraph (f) of this section) must be provided relocation assistance at the levels described in, and in accordance with, the requirements of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (URA) (42 U.S.C. 4601 -4655) and implementing regulations at 49 CFR part 24. (c) Real property acquisition requirements. The acquisition of real property for supportive housing is subject to the URA and the requirements described in 49 CFR part 24, subpart B. (d) Responsibility of recipient. (1) The recipient must certify (i.e., provide assurance of compliance) that it will comply with the URA, the regulations at 49 CFR part 24, and the requirements of this section, and must ensure such compliance notwithstanding any third party's contractual obligation to the recipient to comply with these provisions. (2) The cost of required relocation assistance is an eligible project cost in the same manner and to the same extent as other project costs. Such costs also may be paid for with local public funds or funds available from other sources. (3) The recipient must maintain records in sufficient detail to demonstrate compliance with provisions of this section. (e) Appeals. A person who disagrees with the recipient's determination concerning whether the person qualifies as a "displaced person," or the amount of relocation assistance for which the person is eligible, may file a written appeal of that determination with the recipient. A low- income person who is dissatisfied with the recipient's determination on his or her appeal may submit a written request for review of that determination to the HUD field office. 24 CFR Ch. V (4 -1 -09 Edition) (f) Definition of displaced person. (1) For purposes of this section, the term "displaced person" means a person (family, individual, business, nonprofit organization, or farm) that moves from real property, or moves personal property from real property permanently as a direct result of acquisition, rehabilitation, or demolition for supportive housing project assisted under this part.

(ii) Any person, including a person who moves before the date described in paragraph (f)(1)(i) of this section, if the recipient or HUD determines that the displacement resulted directly from acquisition, rehabilitation, or demolition for the assisted project. (iii) A tenant - occupant of a dwelling unit who moves permanently from the building /complex on or after the date of the "initiation of negotiations" (see paragraph (g) of this section) if the move occurs before the tenant has been provided written notice offering him or her the opportunity to lease and occupy a suitable, decent, safe and sanitary dwelling in the same building/ complex, under reasonable terms and conditions, upon completion of the project. Such reasonable terms and conditions must include a monthly rent and estimated average monthly utility costs that do not exceed the greater of: (A) The tenant's monthly rent before the initiation of negotiations and estimated average utility costs, or (B) 30 percent of gross household income. If the initial rent is at or near the maximum, there must be a reasonable basis for concluding at the time www.hud.gov espanol.hud.gov Page 15 Ofc. of Asst. Sect'., Comm. Planning, Develop., HUD the project is initiated that future rent increases will be modest. (iv) A tenant of a dwelling who is required to relocate temporarily, but does not return to the building /complex, if either: (A) A tenant is not offered payment for all reasonable out -of- pocket expenses incurred in connection with the temporary relocation, or (B) Other conditions of the temporary relocation are not reasonable. (v) A tenant of a dwelling who moves from the building /complex permanently after-he or she has been required to move to another unit in the same building /complex, if either: (A) The tenant is not offered reimbursement for all reasonable out -of- pocket expenses incurred in connection with the move; or (B) Other conditions of the move are not reasonable. (2) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (f)(1) of this section, a person does not qualify as a "displaced person" (and is not eligible for relocation assistance under the URA or this section), if: (i) The person has been evicted for serious or repeated violation of the terms and conditions of the lease or occupancy agreement, violation of applicable Federal, State, or local or tribal law, or other good cause, and HUD determines that the eviction was not undertaken for the purpose of evading the obligation to provide relocation assistance; (ii) The person moved into the property after the submission of the application and, before signing a lease and commencing occupancy, was provided written notice of the project, its possible impact on the person (e.g., the person may be displaced, temporarily relocated, or suffer a rent increase) and the fact that the person would not qualify as a "displaced person" (or for any assistance provided under this section), if the project is approved; (iii) The person is ineligible under 49 CFR 24.2(g)(2); or (iv) HUD determines that the person was not displaced as a direct result of acquisition, rehabilitation, or demolition for the project. (3) The recipient may request, at any time, HUD's determination of whether § 582.340 a displacement is or would be covered under this section. (g) Definition of initiation of negotiations. For purposes of determining the formula for computing the replacement housing assistance to be provided to a residential tenant displaced as a direct result of privately undertaken rehabilitation, demolition, or acquisition of the real property, the term "initiation of negotiations" means the execution of the agreement between the recipient and HUD, or selection of the project site, if later. § 582.340 Other Federal requirements.

(2) The financial management systems used by recipients under this program must provide for audits in accordance with the provisions of 24 CFR part 44. Private nonprofit organizations who are subrecipients are subject to the audit requirements of 24 CFR part 45. HUD may perform or require additional audits as it finds necessary or appropriate. (b) Conflict of interest. (1) In addition to the conflict of interest requirements 1 Copies of OMB Circulars may be obtained from E.O.P.

Participation by homeless individuals who also are participants under the program in policy or decisionmaking under § 582.300 of this part does not constitute a conflict of interest. (2) Upon the written request of the recipient, HUD may grant an exception to the provisions of paragraph (b)(1) of this section on a case -by -case basis when it determine that the exception will serve to further the purposes of the program and the effective and efficient administration of the recipient's project.

(3) In determining whether to grant a requested exception after the recipient has satisfactorily met the requirement of paragraph (b)(2) of this section, HUD will consider the cumulative effect of the following factors, where applicable: (i) Whether the exception would provide a significant cost benefit or an essential degree of expertise to the project which would otherwise not be available; (ii) Whether the person affected is a member of a group or class of eligible persons and the exception will permit 24 CFR Ch. V (4 -1 -09 Edition) such person to receive generally the same interests or benefits as are being made available or provided to the group or class; (iii) Whether the affected person has withdrawn from his or her functions or responsibilities, or the decisionmaking process with respect to the specific assisted activity in question; (iv) Whether the interest or benefit was present before the affected person was in a position as described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section; (v) Whether undue hardship will result either to the recipient or the person affected when weighed against the public interest served by avoiding the prohibited conflict; and (vi) Any other relevant considerations.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Meeting: May 7, 2012 Subject: Fire Code Ordinance Update Background: The Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development adopted the 2009 edition of the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code (SFPC) effective March 1, 2011. This Code establishes minimum regulations governing fire safety. The provisions of the SFPC are based on the nationally recognized model fire code published by the International Code Council, Inc. There are also administrative provisions incorporated by the Commonwealth of Virginia that clarify the source of authority for enforcement of the Code by local fire code officials and other code enforcement agencies. Considerations: To maintain consistency with the State Fire Code, the City of Roanoke needs to adhere to the most current State Fire Prevention Code. The main changes that this adoption will have at the local level will be further restrictions concerning open air burning. These changes will prohibit all open burning except for bonfires, recreational fires such as chimineas and fire pits at private residences and campfires. A permit must be obtained from the Fire Marshal's office for bonfires and campfires. City Council action is needed to amend the Code of the City of Roanoke as described above to reflect the updates adopted by the Commonwealth of Virginia so that the fire code enforced at the local level will be consistent with those changes made by the State. Recommended Action: Adopt an ordinance amending section 12 -3, Technical Prevention Division generally, Section 12 -16, Adoption of Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code, and Section 12 -18, Amendments, of Chapter 12, Fire Prevention and Protection, of the Cgd� of the City of Roanoke (1979). - - -- ---------------------- ristopher P.

S y To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Meeting: May 7, 2012 Subject: Approval of an Amendment to the 2011-2012 Annual Update to the 2010- 2015 HUD Consolidated Plan Background: In 2009, Congress passed the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act (HEARTH Act), amending the McKinney - Ventro Homeless Assistance Act, which resulted in major revisions to the former Emergency Shelter Grants (now known as Emergency Solutions Grants). In early 2012, HUD approved new rules for the use of Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds. The ESG program is designed to identify sheltered and unsheltered homeless persons, as well as those at risk for homelessness, and provide services necessary to help those persons quickly regain stability in permanent housing after experiencing a housing crisis and /or homelessness. As a result of these changes, the City of Roanoke was allocated an additional amount of $45,940 in ESG funds for the FY 2011-2012 period. The City had previously adopted the 2011-2012 Annual Plan Amendment to the 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan which only included the original allocation of $81,671 of Emergency Shelter Grant funds. The City must amend its 2011-2012 Annual Plan to accommodate the distribution of these supplemental funds and subsequent ESG funding to qualifying local agencies and programs. Total ESG funds for FY 2011 -12 will be $127,611. Considerations: The Roanoke Valley Alleghany Regional Advisory Council on Homelessness has made a recommendation to the City that the second allocation of FY 11-12 ESG funds be used to support homeless prevention and rapid re- housing activities. The City will develop a sub - recipient agreement with the Council of Community Services to use these supplemental ESG funds of $45,940 to continue to operate the Community Housing Resource Center (CHRC) which provides qualifying services that prevent individuals and families from becoming homeless, in addition to services that rapidly re -house those who are homeless. The CHRC will assist 73 households with homelessness prevention rental assistance and 10 households with rapid re- housing assistance through payment of the first month's rent or security deposits. The proposed amendment is attached to this report. Approval of the amendment and authorization of execution of the amendment by City Council and submission to HUD will also allow the City to seek applications for FY 12 -13 ESG funding to qualified agencies. Recommended Action: Approve the Substantial Amendment to the 2011-2012 Annual Update of the 2010- 2015 Consolidated Plan, in a form as attached to this report, and authorize the City Manager, or the City Manager's designee, to execute and submit the complete Annual Update amendment to HUD for final review and approval, and all necessary documents pertaining thereto, such documents to be approved as to form by the City Attorney. 9-r-is ---------- --------- her P.

Substantial Amendment to the FY 2011 -2012 Consolidated Plan Annual Action Plan for the Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG) 1. Summary of Consultation Process Describe how the City of Roanoke consulted with the Continuum of Care on_ Allocation of ESG funds for eligible activities Response: At a committee meeting of the Roanoke Valley Alleghany Regional Advisory Council on Homelessness ( RVARACH), a recommendation was made to the City of Roanoke that the second allocation of FY 2011 Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding be used to support homeless prevention and rapid re- housing activities. The RVARACH is the body that reviews the ESG applications and recommends funding to the City of Roanoke. The RVARACH has representatives from the Blue Ridge Continuum of Care (CoC), the public sector, the private sector and the nonprofit sector. This decision was communicated to the CoC via the Chair of the CoC who is also a member of the RVARACH. The CoC will meet over the next 12 months to determine its recommendations regarding the use of future ESG funds. Recommendations will be based on eligible activities and priorities set by HUD and the needs outlined in the 2010 -2015 City of Roanoke Consolidated Plan. Developing Performance Standards Response: On Tuesday, February 21, 2012, an initial meeting was held with the Blue Ridge Continuum of Care to explain the requirements of the Substantial Amendment to the FY 2011 City of Roanoke Consolidated Plan Annual Action Plan. A planning process and timeline for developing the Substantial Amendment was reviewed and adopted by the Continuum of Care. A Substantial Amendment Task Force was appointed representing the Chair of the Continuum of Care, meeting facilitators and writers from the Council of Community Services, City of Roanoke's HUD Community Resources Division and the Chair of the Roanoke Valley Alleghany Regional Advisory Council on Homelessness On Monday, March 5, 2012, the Council of Community Services facilitated a Substantial Amendment planning session for 40 stakeholders representing the faith community, the Continuum of Care, the RVARACH, the Roanoke Regional Housing Network and the City of Roanoke HUD Community Resources Division. Breakout groups were formed and an initial set of objectives, outcomes, and performance Substantial Amendment to the FY 2011 -2012 Consolidated Plan Action Plan (DRAFT)Page 1 standards were established for use by the Task Force in the development of the Substantial Amendment. The planning group supported the use of existing Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re- housing (HPRP) standards, policies and procedures for providing ESG assistance until such time as the Continuum'of Care and the Homelessness Advisory Council could revise and adopt new standards, policies and procedures. It was suggested that revisions be instituted within the next 12 months. On Thursday, March 8, 2012, the Substantial Amendment Task Force met to identify specific outcome statements combining objectives and outcomes for suitable living environment, decent housing, creating economic opportunity, availability /accessibility, affordability and sustainability. As a result of the stakeholders meeting, additional members were added to the Task Force including a representative from an emergency shelter, the United Way of Roanoke Valley, the Community Housing Resource Center, the Roanoke Regional Housing Network and the Blue Ridge Independent Living Center. These outcomes support the national priorities established in Opening Doors: Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness as well as the Roanoke Blue Ridge Continuum of Care's Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness. In addition, the Task Force. discussed performance standards for activities funded under ESG. On Tuesday, March 13, 2012, the Task Force met to review priority needs as identified in the 2010 -2015 City of Roanoke Consolidated Plan and to establish outputs and identify performance standards for street outreach, HMIS, emergency shelter, homeless prevention and rapid re- housing. Developing funding, policies, and procedures for the operation and administration of the HMIS Response: At the March 13`h meeting, the Task Force recommended that existing HMIS administration and operation policies and procedures developed by the HMIS Steering Committee and the Continuum of Care be adopted and included in the Substantial Amendment to the Consolidated Plan. 2. Match Types of cash and/or non -cash resources used as a match; Response: A cash match will be provided with funds from the United Way of Roanoke Valley. . Specific amount of resources used as match: Substantial Amendment to the FY 2011 -2012 Consolidated Plan Action Plan (DRAFT)Page 2 Response: The amount of cash match will be $45,940. Proposed use of match resources Response: The cash match will be used to support homeless prevention and rapid re- housing activities such as rental assistance, security deposits, utility payments and other forms of assistance in accordance with current ESG program guidelines, policies and procedures. 3. Proposed Activities and Overall Budget Proposed Activities Corresponding priority needs from recipient's Annual Action Plan Response: The 2010 -2015 Consolidated Plan identifies the homeless needs of the community in four parts: • Effective outreach to the homeless, especially the chronically homeless and hard to serve, with emphasis on provision of basic needs such as food, clothing, and transportation as well as linkages to mental health, substance abuse, medical, financial, and other necessary services that can help each individual obtain permanent housing. • Continuation of successful emergency and transitional housing services, which provide access to healthcare and medications, job /life skills training, mental health counseling, literacy education, and other support that can help chronically homeless persons break out of that cycle and prevent temporarily homeless persons from entering it. • Identification of the causative and contributing factors in chronic homelessness in relation to the actual homeless population of the Blue Ridge area. An internet -based information system (HMIS) that tracks all client interactions with area service providers will allow the CoC to identify the breadth of impact of various factors and thus set priorities for expanding and initiating services and programs. • Development and continuation of permanent housing options, including permanent supportive housing. Historically, CoC agencies have used emergency shelter and transitional housing to address the needs of the Substantial Amendment to the FY 2011 -2012 Consolidated Plan Action Plan (DRAFT)Page 3 Blue Ridge CoC's homeless population. However, the CoC recognizes that permanent supportive housing can be an effective solution for individuals and families who are at risk of returning to the homelessness without access to ongoing support. Accordingly, the CoC is committed to maintaining an adequate inventory of permanent supportive housing throughout the Blue Ridge CoC. As referenced in the 2011 -2012 Consolidated Plan, the City's Homeless Services priority for the next five years including this plan year is to: "Promote the prevention of homelessness and the delivery of needed services to homeless families and individuals." The priority includes two (2) objectives to be achieved during the plan year: • Assist the prevention of homelessness and the rapid re- housing of individuals and families that have become homeless by reserving approximately $50,000 in CDBG funds for use by the Community Housing Resource Center to leverage additional resources (from non -City government sources) upon the expiration of the 2009 Stimulus funds. • Assist the maintenance, improvement, accessibility and operation of shelters and transitional living centers. Concise description of the activity including the number and types of persons to be. served Response: The City of Roanoke will provide, as part of a subrecipient agreement with the Council of Community Services, ESG funds to continue operating a Community Housing Resource Center which provides services that prevent individuals and families from becoming homeless, in addition to services that rapidly re -house those who are homeless. The center will assist 73 households with homelessness prevention rental assistance and 10 households with rapid re- housing assistance through first month's rent or security deposits. It has set as its outcomes that 1) 60% of all eligible individuals and families will remain in permanent housing and achieve sustainability and a suitable living environment and 2) at least 60% of all eligible individuals and families will move to appropriate permanent housing and gain access to decent housing and a suitable living environment. (See Attachment A, "Performance Standards ") Corresponding standard objective and outcome categories (See Attachment A, "Performance Standards ") Response: Substantial Amendment to the FY 2011 -2012 Consolidated Plan Action Plan (DRAFT)Page 4 The homeless prevention and rapid . re- housing supports the following standard objectives: Decent Housing A Suitable Living Environment Expanded Economic Opportunity The homeless prevention, and rapid re- housing activities support the following outcome categories: • Availability /Accessibility • Affordability • Sustainability Start date and completion date Response: The start date is July 1, 2012 and the completion date is .tune 30, 2013 ESG and other./unding amounts Response: The Community Housing Resource Center will utilize the second allocation of $45,940 plus an additional $95,940 of federal and private funds, including $50,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and $45,940 in United Way funding, to support the homeless prevention and rapid re- housing activities as described above. See Attachment B, "Table 3C Consolidated Plan Listing of Projects ") Local governments and territories are required,.and States are encouraged, to include the following details for each proposed activity: One or more performance indicators Response: The Substantial Amendment Task Force, a ten member team with representatives from the City of Roanoke, the Roanoke Valley Alleghany Regional Advisory Council on Homelessness, Trust House, the Blue Ridge Continuum of Care, the Roanoke Regional Housing Network, the Council of Community Services, the Blue Ridge Independent Living Center, the Community Housing Resource Center and the United Way of Roanoke Valley met to refine the performance indicators discussed during the March 5, 2012 stakeholders meeting (described in Section 1, "Summary of Consultation Process" of this document). For the HUD objective areas of Decent Substantial Amendment to the FY 2011 -2012 Consolidated Plan Action Plan (DRAFT)Page 5 Housing, Suitable Living Environment and Expanded Economic Opportunity, the Substantial Amendment Task Force identified activities, outputs, performance measures and outcome statements for street outreach, HMIS, homeless prevention, rapid re- housing and emergency and transitional shelters. Appendix A of this document contains all activities, outputs, performance measures and outcome statements. This document will be used by the Blue Ridge Continuum of Care, the RVARACH and the City of Roanoke to guide future ESG funding decision - making. The homeless prevention and rapid re- housing performance indicators for the second allocation of ESG FY 2011 funds are listed below. a) Homeless Preventlon: % that remain in permanent housing b) Rapid Re- housing: % exiting emergency shelter % exiting transitional shelter Projected accomplishments in accordance with each indicator, to be made within one year Response: The Substantial Amendment Task Force developed the following accomplishments for homeless prevention and rapid re- housing. a) Homeless Prevention: By providing financial assistance to 22 families, at least 60% of all eligible individuals and families will remain in permanent housing and achieve sustainability of decent housing and a suitable living environment. b) Rapid Re- housing: By providing financial assistance to S households, at least 60% of all eligible individuals and families will move to appropriate permanent housing and gain access /availability to decent housing and a suitable living environment. Projected accomplishments in accordance with each indicator, to be made over the period.for which the grant will be used for that activity Response: a) Homeless Prevention: By providing financial assistance, at least 60% of all eligible individuals and families will remain in permanent housing and achieve sustainability of decent housing and a suitable living environment. b) Rapid Re- housing: By providing financial assistance, at least 60% of all eligible individuals and families will move to appropriate permanent housing and gain access/availability to decent housing and a suitable living environment. Substantial Amendment to the FY 2011 -2012 Consolidated Plan Action Plan (DRAFT)Page 6 Discussion of Funding Priorities Explain why the recipient chose to fund the proposed activities at the amounts specified (recommended: if available, use locally relevant data to support the funding priorities, and explain how the fund priorities will support the national priorities established in Opening Doors: Federal Straterzic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness Response Based on changes made through the HEARTH Act and on national research, homeless prevention and rapid re- housing were identified as a priority by the Roanoke Valley Alleghany Regional Advisory Council on Homelessness. Homeless prevention and rapid re- housing are also priorities supported by the CoC and the City of Roanoke's Consolidated Plan. At the February 2011 meeting of the RVARACH, it was voted upon and approved to use the second allocation of the FY 2011 ESG funds to support the these two activities through a grant to the Community Housing Resource Center. Members of the Substantial Amendment Task Force also recommended that as the community moves toward prevention and rapid re- housing, transitional housing would be a low priority for future ESG funding. Identify any obstacles to addressing underserved needs in the community. Response: Unemployment in the City of Roanoke remains stubbornly high at 7.9% as compared to the Virginia State average of 6.1 %. Another indicator of the economic condition in the City of Roanoke is the number of individuals needing supplemental nutrition assistance (SNAP). Every month, since January 2009 through December 2011, the number of individuals receiving supplemental nutrition assistance has increased. In December of last year, 23,762 individuals received assistance... nearly 25% of the City's population. The sluggish recovery from the recession, the unprecedented high unemployment rates, and the high poverty rates for families in Roanoke (18.9°/x) place extraordinary demand for assistance from all social service agencies and organizations. Obstacles to addressing the underserved needs of the community are primarily financial in nature. There is too little assistance available for too many individuals and families in need. Detailed Budget Include detailed budget of planned activities and funding levels accounting for entire second allocation and any reprograinmed funds from the first allocation. Re pone: See Attachment C, "FY 2011 Detailed Budget ". Substantial Amendment to the FY 2011 -2012 Consolidated Plan Action Plan (DRAFT)Page 7 4. Written Standards for Provision of ESG Assistance Standard policies and procedures for evaluating individuals' and families' eligibility for assistance under ESG Response: The following standards, policies and procedures are currently in place and will be used to satisfy the requirements of the FY 2011 Substantial Amendment. These standards, policies and procedures will be reviewed and modified by the Continuum of Care during the next 12 months. Clients seeking housing assistance services through the Community Housing Resource Center must meet all of the following program guidelines and eligibility requirements to qualify for services. Program Guidelines: • ESG program participants must have an initial consultation with a CHRC staff member. • Program participants must meet the HUD definition of "at -risk" status of becoming homeless (see CHRC staff member for clarification on "at- risk" status). • Participants must have no other existing sources of support, financial resources or other appropriate housing options. • Households must meet the following income requirements - at or below 30% of the Area Medium Income (AMI) — based on household size: I Person 2 Persons 3 Persons 4 Persons 5 Persons 6 Persons 7 Persons 8 Persons $13.300 $15.200 $17.100 $18.950 $20.500 $22,000 $23.500 $25.050 • Participants cannot currently reside in public housing or be receiving a housing subsidy voucher. • Participants cannot be receiving assistance from another source for the same time period that ESG assistance is being provided. Assistance includes all local, State and Federal sources. • ESG funds cannot be used to assist clients in a mortgage situation. • Households are only eligible to receive ESG homelessness prevention assistance once per year. • All outstanding verifications and other program documentation must be returned to CHRC staff within seven (7) business days of intake date. It is .the client's responsibility to ensure landlord documentation is returned to CHRC staff. Substantial Amendment to the FY 2011 -2012 Consolidated Plan Action Plan (DRAFT)Page 8 • Housing units must pass all necessary inspections within seven (7) business days from date of intake. • Households must have an income at least equal to the household's monthly rent. . • ESG funding can be used to provide a maximum of three (3) months in rental arrears. Current and future rental payments can be made; however, total months of coverage cannot exceed three (3) months. • Eligibility for ESG assistance is limited to U.S. citizens and applicants who have eligible immigration status. All members of the household seeking assistance must meet this requirement. • Participants must have a written legal lease in place with landlord. • Participants cannot have liquid assets in excess of $500. • ESG funds cannot be used to pay court costs or damages to property. Payment of reasonable late fees can be made. • Payments will not be made for properties owned by Council of Community Services Board members, staff or in any other situation where a conflict of interest may exist. Grievance Procedure: Program participants must meet all program guidelines to qualify for services. Any false information provided by program participants will result in a denial of assistance. A denial letter stating the reason for service denial and detailing the grievance process will be sent to all households completing the initial consultation with a CHRC intake worker and determined ineligible. Program participants receiving the notification of service denial have the right to appeal this decision within ten (10) business days from date denial notification. Appeals must be submitted, in writing, to the Community Housing Resource Center Director at 1502 Williamson Road, Suite B, Roanoke, VA 24012. Appeals will be heard by the CHRC Director if the denial decision was made by a CHRC intake worker. The Council of Community Services' Vice President of Planning and Consultation will hear appeals for services denied by the CHRC Director. Policies and procedures for coordination among emergency shelter providers, essential service providers, homelessness prevention and rapid re- housing assistance providers, other homeless assistance providers, and mainstream service and housing providers Response: Coordination to assist the homeless and prevent homelessness will come from the leadership of the Blue Ridge Continuum of Care. Active engagement and membership in the CoC is required to receive funding. The CoC will further engage Substantial Amendment to the FY 2011 -2012 Consolidated Plan Action Plan (DRAFT)Page 9 and coordinate resources amongst other entities to improve current programs and funding. The goal of the new ESG is to use a "no wrong door" approach. With ESG, we do not want clients in need of service continue to go from one agency to another, searching for assistance. Clients should be assessed and served when they are first present for service and receive an appropriate referral, if necessary. The case manager will contact the referring agency directly and submit all appropriate paperwork for the referral through the HMIS system. To complete a referral, the following steps will take place by the case manager; • Contact the agency that the client is being referred to determine if it is an appropriate match for the client; make a note on the HMIS Referral Form in the Message section; email the form to the referral agency. • Print Pathways HMIS Referral Form, give copy to client and print a copy for the client file. • Have client take a copy of income and documents to referral appointment. • Contact referring agency to transfer paperwork and inform them of client's status. Case managers will identify available mainstream services that their clients may not be receiving. The case manager will provide assistance in applying for food stamps, unemployment benefits, SSI benefits, Section 8 or any other mainstream service the client may be eligible for and is not receiving. To best aid in the coordination process in the Blue Ridge CoC, agency case managers will participate at Homeless Educators Linking Providers and Services (HELPS) meetings on a quarterly basis. The purpose of the meeting is to share information about available resources for clients and to discuss difficult cases. The Blue Ridge CoC has placed a high priority on funding collaborative applications. Collaborative applications must be designed where collaboration creates increased and improved results as compared to what would be achieved by a single organization. Applicants must design and operate programs where ESG - funded activities are coordinated and integrated to the maximum extent practicable with other programs targeted to homeless people in the area covered by the Continuum of Care. Services must be coordinated to provide a strategic, community -wide system to prevent and end homelessness. Applicants must also design programs where ESG - funded activities are coordinated and integrated to the maximum extent practicable with mainstream housing, health, social services, employment, education, and youth programs for which families and Substantial Amendment to the FY 2011 -2012 Consolidated Plan Action Plan (DRAFT)Page 10 individuals at risk of homelessness and homeless individuals and families may be eligible. Policies and procedures for determining and prioritizing which eligible families and individuals will receive homeless prevention assistance and which eligible families and individuals will receive rapid re- housing assistance. Response: The City of Roanoke has policies and procedures which were established under HPRP. "Homeless Assistance" or rapid re- housing services are provided when a client who is currently staying in an emergency shelter or a place not meant for human habitation is provided with first month's rent or security deposit. Homeless prevention services are provided to clients that are currently housed, but facing an eviction within 14 days. These policies will stay in place but will be reviewed and modified by the CoC within the next twelve months. The CoC is currently considering adoption of the following policies and procedures during the next 12 months for determining and prioritizing which eligible families will receive homeless rapid re- housing assistance and homeless prevention services: Rapid Re- housing Assistance Individuals and families that are found to be eligible using the policies and procedures for evaluating individuals' and families' eligibility will all be homeless according to the HEARTH Act definition. Because funds will not be adequate to help every individual or family, priority must be assigned. Housing relocation and stabilization services and short- and /or medium -term rental assistance will be provided to individuals and families based upon prioritization using the following factors: • Length of homelessness • Nature of homelessness (e.g., shelter, street, car, doubled up) and its relative health and safety implications • Presence of delicate or frail individuals (including children) • Availability of appropriate re- housing in the area for the individual or family • School considerations, when school -age children are present • Likelihood of achieving stability after receiving assistance It will be the responsibility of the case manager to document the interplay among these factors and to justify their prioritization of one client over another. Case managers should not be "creaming'; however, they should keep in mind the limited funds and ensure that they are spending funds in such a way that the greatest impact on homelessness can be felt. Standards for determining the share of rent and utilities costs that each program participant must pay, if any, while receiving homelessness prevention or rapid re- housing assistance. Substantial Amendment to the FY 2011 -2012 Consolidated Plan Action Plan (DRAFT)Page 11 Response: Current standards do not require each program participant to share any portion of rent and utilities costs. These standards will stay in place, but will be reviewed and modified, if needed, by the CoC within the next twelve months. Standards for determining how long a particular program participant will be provided with rental assistance and whether and how the amount of that assistance will be adjusted over time. Response: Current standards as stated in this section indicate ESG funding can be used to provide a maximum of 3 months in rental arrears. Current and future rental payments can be made; however, total months of coverage cannot exceed 3 months. Current policy also states, households are only eligible to receive ESG homelessness prevention assistance once per year, therefore assistance is not adjusted over time. These standards will remain in place but will be reviewed and modified, if needed, by the CoC within the next twelve months. Standards for determining the type, amount, and duration of housing stabilization and/or relocation services to provide a program participant, including the limits, if any, on the homelessness prevention or rapid re- housing assistance that each program participant may receive, such as the maximum amount of assistance, maximum number of months the program participants receives assistance; or the maximum number of times the program participants may receive assistance. Response: Standards for determining the type, amount, and duration of housing stabilization and /or relocation services to provide a program participant were put in place under the requirements of HPRP. It is anticipated that the Continuum of Care will review and revise these standards during the next twelve months. The policies and procedures currently. in place are detailed in this section. 5. Describe the Process for Making Sub - Awards Response: The City of Roanoke uses a Community -Based Application Review Process, In November of each year, the City's HUD Community Resources Division holds a public meeting to review anticipated HUD resources and estimated funds available Substantial Amendment to the FY 2011 -2012 Consolidated Plan Action Plan (DRAFT) Page 12 for economic development, homeless services /prevention, housing development, human development and neighborhood development activities. The application process and timeline are reviewed for each category of funding including funds available for ESG. Applications are distributed at the November meeting. Applications are also available through the City's website or the offices of the Division of HUD Community Resources. Applications are generally due to the City in early January and are distributed to advisory review committees for evaluation and funding recommendations. Individuals from the community represent at least a majority of the members of each committee. The City currently uses three committees, one for: Human services activities; Homeless shelters and homelessness prevention activities; and Housing, neighborhood and economic development activities. The Roanoke Valley Alleghany Regional Advisory Council on Homelessness serves as the review committee for homeless shelters and prevention activities. It is the lead entity for the Ten -Year Plan to End Homelessness and the Blue Ridge Continuum of Care planning process. The Roanoke Valley Alleghany Regional Advisory Council on Homelessness also facilitates and coordinates the community's efforts to prevent, treat, and end homelessness. The Advisory Council includes a spectrum of decision - makers who have the ability to promote and implement the CoC strategy. It consists of 20 members drawn from the general public (including one formerly homeless person), local governments, mental health programs, state and federal programs, non- profit organizations, businesses, and colleges /universities throughout the region. The Advisory Council manages and coordinates the planning process for researching, writing, approving, and submitting the Blue Ridge CoC strategy each year; and monitors strategic accomplishments and ongoing revisions. In March of each year, recommendations from the committees are combined into a budget package that is presented for the City Manager's consideration prior to a 30- day public review. After public comments are obtained, the recommendations, budget package and citizen comments with responses are sent to City Council for approval. 6. Homeless Participation Requirement Response: The City of Roanoke meets the requirements of homeless participation. The Roanoke Valley Alleghany Regional Advisory Council on Homelessness and the Continuum of Care currently have a homeless individual that participates at monthly meetings. 7. Performance Standards Substantial Amendment to the FY 2011 -2012 Consolidated Plan Action Plan (DRAFT)Page 13 Response: The following performance standards for evaluating ESG activities were developed by the Substantial Amendment Task Force. The Chair of the CoC and two other members of the CoC served on the Substantial Amendment Task Force Performance standards were developed for street outreach, HMIS, emergency and transitional housing, homeless prevention and rapid re- housing and apply to HUD's objectives of accessibility /availability, suitable living environment and economic opportunity. The performance standards developed will be expanded by the CoC over the next 12 months. The performance measures established are: Category Performance Standard Street Outreach By providing outreach and engagement activities, 100% of those seeking assistance will be referred to appropriate services and gain access /availability to decent housing and /or a suitable living environment and /or economic opportunity.

SHAWVER, CPA Director of Finance May 7, 2012 CITY OF ROANOKE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE 215 Church Avenue, SW, Suite 461 PO BOX 1220 Roanoke, Virginia 24011 -1220 Telephone: (540) 853 -2821 Fax: (540) 853 -6142 Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council: Subject: March Financial Report - City of Roanoke ANDREA F. TRENT Assistant Director of Finance The following financial report provides commentary on the City's financial results for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. March Performance Summary Year -to -date revenues in FYI 2 through March increased 0.2% or $299,000 from last year as presented in the accompanying financial statement. In comparison, the budgeted increase is 0.3% when comparing the FYI adopted budget against the FYI I final results. Budgeted growth is higher than actual growth through March as influenced by the 4.5% budgeted growth in the Personal Property Tax revenues which are predominantly collected in May and June. Significant year -to- year variances are explained in further detail in this report. The expenditures in FYI 2 have increased 2.4% from the prior year as of March. The expenditure budget for FYI is 1 .0% or $2.5 million higher than FYI 1 actual, therefore performance through March reflects a negative variance. A main driver of this is the employee stipend of $1.6 which was paid in November in FYI compared to June in FYI 1. Increased funding of 2% to Roanoke City Public Schools also contributed to growth from FYI 1 to FYI 2. The City will meet its overall expenditure budget for FYI and carefully manages the budget to ensure obligations are met. Expenditure variances are described in further detail in the expenditure section of this report. Revenues: Commentary on the significant categories of revenues and /or significant revenue variances is provided as follows: Honorable Mayor and Members of Council May 7, 2012 Page 2 General Property Taxes increased .6% or $404,000 as a result of an increase in Real Estate taxes offset by a decline in Personal Property taxes. For the year as a whole, Real Estate Tax revenues will remain stable as compared to FYI 1. Through March, they are up $1.3 million due to earlier collections in the current year of the April 5`" installment. Partially offsetting the increase is a decline in Personal Property taxes of $762,000 through March FYI 2 primarily related to an increase in exonerations compared to FYI 1 . However, the vast majority of Personal Property taxes are collected in May and June. Local Tax revenues increased by 3.0% or $1.5 million compared to the same period in FYI 1. Business license taxes increased more than 6.4% through March related to an increased number of collections and higher gross receipts values. This is indicative of improvement in the Roanoke economy following three consecutive years of declines. Sales tax revenues year -to -date increased by 1.5%. Impacting the results in the current year was the way some sales tax corrections in early months of FYI 1 affected the year -to -date total as well as the relocation of Walmart to the County. By the close of FYI 2, Sales Tax growth of I% is projected for the year. Recordation taxes improved 24.4 %, heavily influenced by the Grantee's tax for Center in the Square leaseholds. The Transient Occupancy tax performed well with growth of 5.2% as a result of increased travel into the City, improved amenities (dining areas and meeting rooms) and renovated facilities. Food and Beverage taxes increased 7.7 %, due to several restaurant additions in the Valley View area, the re- opening of the Market Building eateries and improved collections of delinquent accounts. Cigarette tax revenues, with an improvement of 4.3 %, also contributed to the increase. Partially offsetting the increase was a 6.4% decline in the Communications Tax primarily caused by the impact of the City's portion ($241,000) of a $14.5 million refund by the state as well as a decrease in the Electric and Gas consumption taxes related to the milder weather. Fines and Forfeitures revenues decreased by 18.4% or $239,000 compared to FYI 1 as shown in the accompanying financial statement. Effective FYI 2, Parking Ticket revenues, including the collection fee, were moved to the Parking Fund. Adjusting for this change, revenues in this category increased 0.4% or $4,300. Revenue from the Use of Money and Property declined by 46.2% compared to the same period in FYI 1, due to the loss in rental income from the Honorable Mayor and Members of Council May 7, 2012 Page 3 Commonwealth Building which is now privately owned. Adjusting for this change, revenues decreased 6.8% primarily a result of lower interest earnings. Miscellaneous Revenues declined 31.7% or $173,000 as a result of a decrease in tax sale proceeds and in payment in lieu of tax by non - profit organizations granted exemption from the real estate tax. The process and timeline from sale to the receipt of proceeds varies significantly based on the final approvals by the court of the sales terms. FYI 1 had a surplus payment due to tax sales from prior years which is not expected in FYI 2. Expenditures: The fiscal year 2012 General Fund expenditure budget totals $260.0 million and includes funding of approximately $1.4 million to cover contracts and purchase orders made during fiscal year 2011 but not paid by the end of that year. The current expenditure budget is 1.0% higher than FYI 1 actual. General Fund expenditures and encumbrances through March were $193.8 million. Compared to the prior year, expenditures increased 2.4% or approximately $5.0 million. Significant categorical variances are discussed as follows: Transfers to Debt Service Fund decreased by 24.5% or $4.1 million compared to FYI 1. This variance was due to a change in the handling of school debt under the new school funding policy which resulted in a $5.7 million decrease. The school debt transfer decrease was offset by an increase in the school funding transfer. The reduction in the debt service transfer was partially offset by payments of $1.5 million which began in FYI for the 2010C, 201 OD and 2010E series bonds which were issued in August 2010. Transfers to School Fund increased by 12.3% or $6.3 million. Effective with FYI 2, the School funding formula changed. The funding under the formula is higher, but the School Board now pays debt service to the City using funds provided through the formula. This change in funding for debt service did not, in- and -of- itself, increase overall funding available to schools. However, Roanoke Schools will receive more net funding from the City in FYI as a result of local tax growth. This was an increase of approximately 2 %. Nondepartmental expenditures decreased 31.8% or $1.5 million. This category primarily consists of transfers to other funds which can vary significantly from year to year. The FYI 2 decrease is primarily related to reduced transfers to the Capital Projects Fund in the current year. Transfers made at the end of FYI 1 offset the need to make some transfers in the current year. Partially offsetting Honorable Mayor and Members of Council May 7, 2012 Page 4 these decreases was an increase in transfers to the Greater Roanoke Transit Company (GRTC). The GRTC transfer increased 40.6% when compared to FYI 1. City Council approved a higher GRTC subsidy in FYI 2, resulting from higher fuel and medical insurance costs, in order to continue peak hours of service. Civic Facilities Fund In March, the Civic Center held 29 events with 32,119 attendees. This was 2 less events and 10,621 less attendees than in March 2011 . March 2012 events exceeded budget by three, and attendance exceeded budget by 3,753. Event highlights for March included a sold out Elton ,John concert, a sold out performance of Spamalot, the Harlem Globetrotters, and the annual MDA Car Show. For FYI year -to -date, there have been 202 events with 186,786 attendees. This is an increase of 5.8% or 11 more events, but a decrease of 11.4% or 24,064 less attendees compared with the same period in FYI 1. The programming at the Civic Center covers a wide variety of entertainment events which causes comparisons between years to vary. The FYI 2 year -to -date Operating Loss for the Civic Center was $1,017,000, an improvement of 11 .8% or $13 5,000, from FYI 1. Revenues increased by $410,000, while expenses increased by $274,000. The year -to -date Change in Net Assets for FYI was a decrease of $412,000, compared to an FYI 1 decrease of $600,000, an improvement of 31.4% or $189,000. April programming included multiple performances by Cirque du Soleil, the Blue Ridge Bike Fest, and the Blue Man Group. The current projected net income for the entirety of FYI is now projected to be $6,000 better than the original FYI 2 budget. Parking Fund The City's Parking Fund operates seven garages and five surface lots with a total FYI budget of just under $3.2 million. While each facility generates varying levels of income or loss, the Parking Fund as a whole meets all cash flow needs, including debt service, without a General Fund subsidy and generates sufficient working capital to fund facility improvements and repairs. Honorable Mayor and Members of Council May 7, 2012 Page 5 The March FYI 2 year -to -date operating revenues increased 16.3% or $350,000 compared to FYI 1. Facility revenues increased about 2.2% or $47,000, with the remaining revenue increase due to the inclusion of $303,000 in on- street parking ticket fines and fees. In previous fiscal years, these revenues were reported in the General Fund. A revitalized Market Garage accounted for over $53,000 of facility revenue increase, while the net of all of the other facilities amounted to about a $6,000 decline. The Market Garage has a strong demand for short term parking and a waiting list for long term spaces. The Gainsboro Garage and the Higher Education Center Lot continue to benefit from the temporary relocation of Poff Building offices and residential parking demand. The Tower Garage revenue decline continues, due to the reduced occupancy rate at the Wells Fargo Tower. The Center in the Square Garage continues to experience declines from the ongoing building renovation. On the expense side, spending levels for FYI are up 15.4 %, or $223,000, compared to FYI 1 . This is due to $122,000 of on- street parking administrative expense which was reported in the General Fund in prior years. Also, in FYI 1 management fee payments to Lancor were one month in arrears. This year, these payments are current, accounting for about $77,000 of additional FYI expense. Year -to -date maintenance expenses are up about $34,000, with all garages except Market Garage showing increases. The year -to -date Risk Management assessment increased, but was more than offset by reduced utility expenses. City of Roanoke Pension Plan The Pension Trust Fund experienced an investment gain of 4.7% for the fiscal year -to -date through March 2012, which reflects gains in the domestic equity, fixed income, convertible bond, and real estate categories of investments and losses in the international equity category of investments. Investment performance for this period fell below the Policy Portfolio benchmark performance of 6.1 %, due to underperformance in the domestic equity investment allocation. Pension Plan investment decisions are made with a long- term view, and the Roanoke Plan has outperformed its benchmark on a three and five year measure. For the nine month period ending March 31, 2012, Plan Net Assets decreased $140,366. This was a result of $8.9 million in employer contributions and $13.2 million in net investment gains offset by $22.3 million in benefit payments and Plan administrative expenses. Benefits Paid to Participants increased 2.5% due to higher retirement allowances having been Honorable Mayor and Members of Council May 7, 2012 Page 6 earned by more recent retirees, while Administrative expenses increased due to the timing of expenditures. Closing In closing, the economy appears to be moderately expanding and global markets strain is easing but continued to be viewed with caution. The unemployment rate as of February 2012 has increased at the state and local levels but decreased .1 % at the national level. The Federal Reserve continues its policy to hold interest rates at all -time lows and predicts this to continue through 2014. Locally, City taxes remain stable thus far in FYI 2. Sales tax has grown, and the City continues to benefit from consumer spending through the meals and lodging taxes. The City saw its first major increase in Business License taxes in several years in FYI with growth of over 6.4 %. Current financial results indicate revenues and expenditures should perform according to budget when adjusted for some timing issues which affect year to year comparability.

A RESOLUTION recommending the employee contribution for the Sheriff's Department employees who participate in the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) of five percent (5 %) with an offsetting five percent (5 %) salary increase be implemented effective July 1, 2012. WHEREAS, General Assembly legislation requires localities to make certain decisions regarding employer and member retirement contributions for the Sheriff and the Sheriff's Department employees who participate in the Virginia Retirement System (VRS); WHEREAS, the City must choose either the VRS certified retirement contribution rate of 17.27 %, or 12.12% which is computed as a phase -in approach over three biennia; WHEREAS, the Director of Finance recommends that the City choose the 17.27% VRS certified retirement contribution rate; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Chapter 822 of the 2012 Acts of Assembly (Senate Bill 497) a member contribution of five percent (5 %) is required by January 1, 2016. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Council of the City of Roanoke as follows: 1. Council authorizes an employee contribution for the Sherik and Sheriff's Department employees who participate in the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) of five percent (5 %) with an offsetting five percent (5 %) salary increase effective July 1, 2012, all as more fully set out in the report of the Director of Finance to this Council, dated May 14, 2012. 2.

K: \Measures \Yearly Measures \2012 \VRS1.doc t* CITY COUNCIL . • . Nk G�RGIN�� To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Meeting: May 14, 2012 Subject: Contribution Rates for the Virginia Retirement System Recent General Assembly legislation requires localities to make certain decisions by July 1, 2012 regarding employer and member retirement contributions for the Sheriff and the Sheriff's Department. employees who participate in the Virginia Retirement System (VRS). First, the City must make an election of our employer contribution rate for FYI 3 and FYI for our Sheriff and Sheriff's Department employees using one of the options allowed in the 2012 Appropriation Act. This act allows the City to choose either a rate of 17.27% which is the VRS certified retirement contribution rate or 12.12% which is computed pursuant to a phase -in approach over three biennia. In order to most appropriately fund the liability associated with Sheriff's Department retirement benefits, the VRS certified rate of 17.27% is recommended. The FYI 3 recommended budget was prepared assuming this rate. The City must also make an election of the retirement contribution our Sheriff and Sheriff's Department employees will be required to pay beginning July 1, 2012 and the corresponding salary increase that will be provided by the City as an offset, as provided in Chapter 822 of the of the 2012 Acts of Assembly (Senate Bill 497). The General Assembly action requires a member contribution of 5% by January 1, 2016. It permits localities to enact this at once or to phase the contribution in over a period of time with a minimum 1% contribution initially. The General Assembly action requires localities to provide a matching salary increase to employees to offset this required contribution. City Administration recommends an employee contribution of 5% be implemented effective .July 1, 2012 with an offsetting 5% salary increase. This is the most administratively efficient method of implementation and is consistent with the method elected by most Virginia local governments. Employees of the Roanoke Sheriff's Department will receive enhanced retirement benefits as a result of the salary increase, but will also incur larger deductions for payroll taxes and insurance premiums indexed on salary level. The City's 3% general wage increase, for which Sheriff's department employees will be eligible, will serve to counteract some of the net pay decrease. The FYI 3 recommended budget was prepared assuming the 5 9,6/5% election. Mayor and Members of City Council May 14, 2012 Recommendation: Adopt the accompanying resolutions to enact the outlined changes. Respectfully submitted, Christopher P. Morrill Ann H.

REPORT To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Meeting: May 14, 2012 Subject: Cost of Living Adjustment for Retirees - FY2013 Background: Retirees of the City of Roanoke Pension Plan (the Plan) are currently awarded cost of living adjustments (COLAs) on an ad hoc basis by City Council. Because the current plan does not include a provision for an automatic COLA, these are not pre- funded in the Plan, but rather the increased cost is recognized after the COLA has been awarded. Factors considered as part of the recommendation for an annual adjustment include increased cost to the Plan, increase in future contributions to the Plan, changes in the Consumer Price Index, the amount of pay raise recommended for active employees, and the level of COLAs provided by similar plans within the state. Eligible members of the City of Roanoke Pension Plan last received a 1 .75% cost- of-living adjustment on July 1 , 2008. Considerations: A proposed 1.50% increase to eligible members of the Plan, effective July 1, 2012, will increase the average annual retirement allowance by approximately $221, costing the Plan an additional $406,000 in benefits annually. The actuarial cost of a 1.50% COLA is estimated at $3.6 million to be funded over the next 20 years through an additional amount of approximately $268,000 in annual payroll contributions. All participating employers which include the Roanoke Regional Airport Commission, School Board, Roanoke Valley Resource Authority, Roanoke Valley Detention Commission, Western Virginia Water Authority, and the Commonwealth of Virginiawill assume their pro rata cost for funding the COLA. The recommended increase will apply to those retirees who retired on or before July 1, 2011, i.e., those retirees who have been retired for at least one year. Recommendation: We recommend adoption of the accompanying ordinance granting a 1.50% COLA for eligible retirees. Mayor and Members of City Council May 14, 2012 Respectfully submitted, � f ► Ann H.

ATTEST: City Clerk. •R CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Meeting: May 14, 2012 Subject: Capital Improvement Program Update for FY 2013 -2017 Background: The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for Fiscal Years 2013 -2017 is a plan recommended for approval by City Council for anticipated capital project expenditures to be incurred over the next five years and is a revision of the Fiscal Years 2012 -2016 plan. Considerations: As part of the financial planning /budget development process City Council was briefed on projects to be funded through additional bond issuance and cash. The total Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Years 2013 -2017 is comprised of capital projects with estimated expenditures of $99,022,223 as outlined in Attachment A. Council authorization of debt issuance is required for planned issuance each fiscal year and is requested through a separate report at a Council meeting after the adoption of the CIP Update to ensure that the public hearing notices are published in accordance with code requirements. A public hearing has been scheduled for Monday, May 21, 2012 at 7 p.m. The CIP anticipates debt issuance each year as outlined below. FY 2013 • School Facility Maintenance and Improvements - $2,000,000 • Bridge Renovation - $1 ,100,000 • Library Master Plan - $210,000 • Parks and Recreation Master Plan - $500,000 • Civic Center Improvements - $1,000,000 • Stormwater Management - $1,120,000 • Elmwood Park Improvements - $1,625,000 • Curb, Gutter and Sidewalk Program - $500,000 • Streetscapes - $400,000 • Digital Radio - $2,110,000 Total: $10565,000 FY 2014 • School Facility Maintenance and Improvements - $5,000,000 • Bridge Renovation - $1,800,000 • Library Master Plan - $3,500,000 • Parks and Recreation Master Plan - $1,500,000 • Civic Center Improvements - $1,500,000 • Stormwater Management - $1,120,000 • Elmwood Park Improvements - $2,800,000 • Curb, Gutter and Sidewalk Program - $750,000 • Streetscape Improvements - $500,000 Total: $18,470,000 FY 2015 • School Facility Maintenance and Improvements - $5,000,000 • Bridge Renovation - $3,800,000 • Library Master Plan - $5,200,000 • Parks and Recreation Master Plan - $1,500,000 • Civic Center Improvements - $1,500,000 • Stormwater Management - $1,120,000 • Curb, Gutter and Sidewalk Program - $1,000,000 • Streetscape Improvements - $500,000 Total: $19,620,000 FY 2016 • School Facility Maintenance and Improvements - $5,000,000 • Bridge Renovation - $5,650,000 • Library Master Plan - $3,100,000 • Parks and Recreation Master Plan - $1,500,000 • Civic Center Improvements - $1,500,000 • Stormwater Management - $1,120,000 • Curb, Gutter and Sidewalk Program - $1,000,000 • Streetscape Improvements - $500,000 Total: $19,370,000 FY 2017 • School Facility Maintenance and Improvements - $5,000,000 • Bridge Renovation - $6,900,000 • Library Master Plan - $1,985,000 • Parks and Recreation Master Plan - $2,500,000 • Civic Center Improvements - $1,500,000 • Stormwater Management - $1,120,000 • Curb, Gutter and Sidewalk Program - $1,000,000 • Streetscape Improvements - $500,000 Total: $20,505,000 There are three sources of one -time funding that will be available for appropriation. Funding budgeted for debt service is based on the capital project planning model. Budgeted debt service funding not needed until bonds are issued and debt service payments begin, is used to cash fund selected projects or for a specific purpose. The amount available for one -time use is $901,539. The retirement contribution rate for FY 2013 is 15.60 %, a reduction of 2.44% from FY 2012. Since we expect that Pension Plan contribution rates will again 2 increase, this reduction is treated as one -time savings rather than being incorporated into the operating budget, therefore, cash funding in the amount of $1,500,317 is available for one -time expenses. As the Market Building Renovation project is concluded, a developer fee in the amount of $1,407,485 million will be returned to the City of Roanoke. This one -time cash is available for use. The total of these three sources is $3,809,341. Funding in the amount of $625,900 is included in the Transfer to Capital Projects Fund for Bridge Maintenance Projects ($500,000) and Virginia Department of Transportation projects ($125,900) and may be appropriated to project accounts for FY 2013. During the budget development process, Council was advised of the recommended use of one time funding for the following: • Center in the Square $600,000 (fourth and fifth installments of capital contribution) • Science Museum of Western Virginia 100,000 (fourth installment of capital contribution) • Harrison Museum of African American Culture 100,000 (fourth installment of capital contribution) • YMCA of Roanoke Valley 100,000 (first installment of capital contribution) • Greenways and Trails 200,000 • Capital Project Contingency 450,000 • Grant Cash Match 200,000 • Capital Building Maintenance, Fleet Replacement, Technology Capital, Street Paving, Other Operating One -Time Expenses 2,059,341 TOTAL $ 3,809,341 Recommended Action: Approve a resolution endorsing the update to the CIP. Adopt the accompanying budget ordinance to increase the revenue estimate in the Capital Projects fund in the amount of $1,407,485 for the Market Building Developer Fee return. Appropriate $1,527,439 included in the FY 2013 Transfer to Capital Projects Fund Account and $1,500,317 included in the FY 2013 Contingency unit to the respective accounts established by the Director of Finance for the following projects: 3 ■ Bridge Maintenance - $500,000 ■ , Local Match for Virginia Department of Transportation Highway projects - $125,900 • Center in the Square - $600,000 • Science Museum of Western Virginia - $100,000 • Harrison Museum of African American Culture - $100,000 • YMCA of the Roanoke Valley - $100,000 • Greenways - $200,000 • Capital Project Contingency - $450,000 • Grant Match - $200,000 • Parks and Recreation - $108,000 • Curb, Gutter and Sidewalks - $200,000 • Fleet Replacement - $250,000 • Paving - $250,000 • Technology - $655,173 • Facilities Management - $288,104 The remaining funding in the amount of $308,064 is budgeted in the Contingency unit and will be transferred to departmental budgets during the course of the fiscal year for identified one -time needs. - - - - -V__ & - - - - - -- Christopher P.

ATTEST: City Clerk. yob, Q x.. CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Meeting: May 14, 2012 Subject: Appropriation of FY 13 Funds for Enterprise Zone Background: A revised Virginia Enterprise Zone program was established by the General Assembly in 2005 through the Virginia Enterprise Zone Act. An Enterprise Zone is a geographically defined area designated by the Governor. The state and local government enter into a partnership to encourage business expansion and recruitment by offering both state and local incentives. The City of Roanoke has two main zones, Zone 1 A and Zone 2. Zone 1 A has one sub zone and Zone 2 has two additional sub zones. The main difference between the zones is that the building facade grant is available only in Zone 1 A and its sub zone which incorporates the older industrial areas in the core of the City and downtown and the maximum caps differ slightly for certain fee rebates and programmatic incentives. There is a Parking Lot grant, which is exclusive to Zone 2. This grant provides incentives to businesses to pave gravel parking lots that have a direct connection to a City storm water detention pond, in order to decrease ongoing, long -term maintenance of these facilities. Considerations: A requirement of designation is that the City of Roanoke offers certain local incentives. These incentives were set forth in the original application and subsequent amendments approved by City Council. In order for the City of Roanoke to continue to offer the local incentives as set forth in the designation application and subsequent amendments, an annual appropriation of funds is needed. Based on funds remaining from previous appropriations, additional funding in the amount of $200,000 has been identified to provide for program grants anticipated for Fiscal Year 2013. The building facade improvement program has become a very popular and useful tool in Enterprise Zone 1 A over the past several years. As of April of this fiscal year, $187,318 in facade grant funding leveraged approximately $1,088,737 in additional estimated private investment in building facade improvements. In many cases, these facade improvements are part of overall building rehabilitation projects which result in additional real property investment. Recommended Action: Adopt the accompanying budget ordinance appropriating $200,000 from the Economic and Community Development Reserve to the Fa4ade Grant Program account number 08- 310- 9736 -9003. - - -- p -- ------- - - - - -- C isto her .

HUD Plan Approval 2012- 13.doc 2 `y of {20q�0 -., CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Meeting: May 14, 2012 Subject: Approval of the 2012 -2013 Annual Update to the 2010- 2015 HUD Consolidated Plan Background: In order to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that localities such as the City of Roanoke submit a 5 -year Consolidated Plan (CP) and Annual Updates (AU). The City's current, HUD - approved five -year CP covers the period from July 1, 2010, to June 30, 2015, and was developed through an extensive process beginning in 2008. Public participation in the CP included public meetings to obtain community input, information disseminated to the Roanoke Neighborhood Advocates (RNA) and neighboring localities, information made available on the City's website and in the print media and announcements to a mailing list of more than 400 organizations and individuals. Considerations: In a letter dated April 16, 2012, Council Members received a summary version of the draft 2012 -2013 AU, which included the CDBG, HOME and ESG funding recommendations for Fiscal Year 2012 -2013 and related information. Comparable information was also provided to City Council on April 16, 2012, in a section of the City's Recommended Resource Allocation Plan. As with the five -year CP, outreach to engage the public in the 2012 -2013 AU process took several forms. Public meetings were held November 16, 2011 and April 3, 2012, as well as a City Council public hearing on April 26, 2012. Those attending the April 3`d meeting received the summary version of the AU provided to City Council. The plan was made available on the City's website and was also provided to RNA members and neighboring localities. Ads were placed in the local print media and all applicants for FY 2012 -2013 funding were provided information on their proposed level of funding, about the upcoming meetings, how to obtain additional information and how to comment. Copies of the complete draft 2012 -2013 AU were placed at all library branches and the Law Library, the Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority main offices, the City Clerk's office and the HUD Community Resources Division, for public inspection for a 30 -day period beginning April 5, 2012. City staff estimates the following amounts will be available from the indicated sources: New HUD Entitlements $2,054,184 Estimated New Program Income 448,833 Local Funds (for HOME Match and Administrative Use) 25,750 Estimated Prior Year Excess Program Income 30,000 Estimated Prior Year Carry-over 1,229,000 Total HUD Funds $3,787,767 The FY 13 plan projects $2,054,184 in new entitlement funds, a reduction of $410,263 from the FY 12 total of $2,464,447 (16.6% overall reduction). Combined with program income and use of prior years' unused or reallocated funds, total revenues are projected to be $3,787,767. Spending on planned programs and support of internal and external agencies and administration and planning are proposed at $3,714,491, leaving un- programmed CDBG and HOME funds of $73,276. Of the HUD funds projected for FY 13, $1,720,177 (46.3 %) is specifically directed toward the West End Target Area. To ensure that the City's HUD fiscal year begins on .July 1, 2012, HUD must receive the Annual Update on or about May 15, 2012. Recommended Action: Approve the 2012 -2013 Annual Update, as provided on the compact disk accompanying this report, and authorize the City Manager, or the City Manager's designee, to submit the complete Annual Update to HUD for final review and approval, including execution of all necessary documents pertaining thereto, such documents to be approved as to form by the City Attorney. - - - - - -- - -- - - - -- -- - - - - -- Christophe .

Holland, Budget Team Leader 2 r�0� , l CITY COUNCIL REPORT INFORMATION ONLY To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Date: April 16, 2012 Subject: FY 2013 CDBG /HOME /ESG Funding Recommendations Attached for your review are materials and information related to the proposed FY 13 HUD Community Resources project list and related budget plan. This proposed budget was developed based upon review of agency applications for funding, committee and staff review of proposals, City policy on use of HUD funds, and the City of Roanoke's 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan. The FY 13 plan projects $2,054,184 in new entitlement funds, a reduction of $410,263 from the FY 12 total of $2,464,447 (16.6% overall reduction). Combined with program income and use of prior years unused or reallocated funds, total revenues are projected to be $3,787,767. Spending on planned programs and support of internal and external agencies and administration / planning are proposed at $3,714,491, leaving unprogrammed CDBG and HOME funds of $73,276. Of the HUD funds projected for FY 13, $1,720,177 (46.3 %) are specifically directed toward the West End Target Area. Each project to be funded complies with the objectives of City Council in the 2010 Policy on HUD Funds and fits into one of the five categories of priorities. Staff's recommendation targets the allocation goals of CDBG funds for each category as well as stays within HUD imposed limits on use of funds for human services and administration / planning categories. The City's policy places an additional cap of 90% of the HUD limit for these two categories. Both categories of activities are in compliance with the percentage limitations -on commitments. The only category that varies significantly from the policy goals is Neighborhood Development, which was buoyed by a substantial commitment of $343,176 to develop a financial and community service center in the West End Target Area through a cooperative effort of West End Developmental Center and Freedom First Credit Union. We are hopeful this project will be a catalyst for more private investment and create economic synergy in the Mountain View / Hurt Park neighborhoods. 2012 -2013 CDBG Distribution (Non Administrative) Category Amount Priority % Overall % Housing Development $1,106,250 50.0% 48.3% Economic Development $502,203 25.0% 21.9% Human Services $285,912 13.0% 12.5% Neighborhood Development $397,401 11.5% 17.3% Homeless Services $0 0.5% 0.0% TOTAL 1$2,291,766 1 100.0% 100.0% Below is a table showing the overall distribution of all HUD funds to the various categories, including Planning & Administration, which is well below the maximum limit of 20 %.

As a result, HUD issued new rules regarding the use of Emergency Solutions Grants in January 2012 after the city's application process was underway. Due to the changes in the HUD rules for the use of ESG funds, a substantial amendment to our 2010- 2015 Consolidated Plan is required and must be approved before the supplemental funds and future ESG monies may be distributed to subgrantees. The public comment period is underway and City Council will be asked to take action on the amended plan on May 7, 2012. After this plan amendment is adopted and approved by HUD, a new round of applications will be sought for ESG funds, so the exact number of projects to be funded will be determined later. 2 HUD has a performance measurement system to focus on the outcomes of activities receiving CDBG, , HOME and ESG assistance. Under this system, activities are categorized as to whether they contribute to one of three objectives: (1) Creating a Suitable Living Environment; (2) Creating Decent Affordable Housing; or (3) Creating Economic Opportunities. Activities are then further categorized in terms of whether these objectives lead to one of three outcomes: (a) Enhancing Availability or Accessibility; (b) Enhancing Affordability; or (c) Enhancing Sustainability: Promoting Livable and Viable Communities. A variety of output indicators apply to activities depending on their nature and purpose. The distribution of the funding for projects categorized by the three objectives of the HUD performance measuring system is shown in the following table. HUD Performance Measurement Distribution Performance Objective Amount % Suitable Living Environment $912,182 24.6% Decent Affordable Housing $2,117,286 57.0% Creating Economic Opportunity $685,023 18.4% Total $3,714,491 100.0% Note: In the above, the City's Demolition activity ($50,000) is counted under "Suitable living Environment." Administrative funds directly related to housing ($50,000) are counted under Housing; general administrative and planning funds ($272,000) have been proportionately distributed among all three categories. The following material is attached to provide more detail on the proposed use of HUD funds for FY 13: An overview of CDBG, HOME and ESG funds. A spreadsheet indicating the estimates of funds to be available for FY 2013, commitments against these funds, and projects recommended to be funded with the balance. Brief descriptions of each commitment and funding request received. The FY -13 HUD funds budget will be subject to public comment at City Council's public hearing scheduled for April 26, 2012 at 7:OOpm. The recommendations for the FY -13 HUD funds budget were shared with the public at a community meeting held on April 3, 2012; and all applicants who applied to the HUD budget team requesting funds were notified by mail of the recommended funding levels at that time.

IAN TOWNSEND Assistant City Manager Attachment Distribution: Council Appointed Officers Amelia Merchant, Director, Management and Budget Tom Carr, Director, Planning Building and Development Keith Holland, Budget Team Leader, HUD Community Resources 0 CITY OF ROANOKE HUD ENTITLEMENT GRANTS FY 2012 -2013 The City of Roanoke anticipates receiving about $2.0 million or more in new funds annually from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in three grants: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) (formerly "Emergency Shelter Grant "). Roanoke is an entitlement community under the HUD programs. This means that HUD funds are allocated to the City every year using a formula based on population, income levels, and other factors. The total level of funding is determined by how much Congress appropriates for the entire nation. CDBG CDBG funds can assist activities ranging from housing to economic development and from job training to construction projects. The City has received CDBG funds since 1975. For the 2012 -2013 period, the City estimates receiving $1.4 million in new CDBG funds. With carry-over and program income, a total of about $2.5 million is anticipated to be available. CDBG funds are primarily intended to benefit low -to- moderate- income persons and areas, though a limited amount can also be used for reducing slums and blight. The amount of funds that can be used for administration, planning and human services is also limited. These funds are separate from Stimulus (CDBG -R) funds received by the City in, 2009. HOME HOME funds are exclusivelyfor housing to benefit low -to- moderate- income persons, through rehabilitation, new construction, improvements to rental housing and homeownership assistance. The City has received HOME funds since 1992. For the 2012 -2013 period, the City estimates receiving $439,973 in new HOME funds. With carry- overand program income, $1.0 million is anticipated to be available. HOME funds require a 12.5% match. At least 15% of each annual HOME grant must be invested in qualifying projects conducted by Community Housing Development Organizations ( "CHDOs "). No HOME Stimulus funds have been received bythe City. ESG ESG funds provide for activities that assist homeless individuals and families. This grant is designed to improve the quality of existing emergency and transitional shelters for the homeless, assist with the costs of operating shelters, provide essential social services to homeless persons and help prevent homelessness. For the 2012 -2013 period, the City expects to receive $144,729 in new ESG funds. ESG funds require a dollar- for - dollar match. These funds are separate from Stimulus (HPRP) funds received by the City in 2009. FUNDING SUMMARY For Fiscal Year 2012 -2013 Projects (All funds estimated and subject to change.)
