Classes will be located in a variety of places, including library locations, Goodwill Industries, Blue Ridge Literacy, the Virginia Work Force Center, Refugee and Immigration Services, 21st Century School Learning Centers and other partner agencies. The grant requires an additional cash match of $37,186 which is available in account (35-300-9700-5415) Local Match Funding for Grants, as well as an in-kind match of $90,341 . The in-kind match is covered by various line items already in the Libraries' General Fund FY13 operating budget, such as: existing job and testing computer databases, computer equipment and administrative oversight.

ATTEST: *&tu‘e' . b J City Clerk. ll.... ono' A 1 -s CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Meeting: October 15, 2012 Subject: Agreement Requiring City to Indemnify and Hold Harmless Carilion Property Management Background: The City of Roanoke is hosting the Roanoke GO Outside Festival on Friday, October 19, 2012, from 6:00 p.m. until Sunday, October 21 , 2012, at 5:00 p.m., at River's Edge Sports Complex. This annual event encourages healthy, active outdoor recreation. By combining the things outdoor enthusiasts love - camping, music, gear, races and demos, the Roanoke GO Outside Festival is a celebration of everything outdoors. While various events and races will take place throughout the region, Rivers Edge Sports Complex North (Reserve Avenue) will serve as the festival headquarters. There will be something to keep the citizens of all ages and interests engaged and entertained In order to have adequate parking for this event at Rivers Edge Sports Complex, Carilion Property Management, owner of 6 Riverside Parking Garage, is requiring the City of Roanoke to sign an Agreement for this purpose. The agreement contains a provision requiring the City of Roanoke to indemnify and hold Carilion Property Management harmless, and to defend it in the event Carilion Property Management incurs any damages, or anything is damaged during the City of Roanoke's use of the premises. An indemnification and hold harmless provision constitutes a waiver of sovereign immunity, and any contract containing such a provision must be authorized by City Council. The City has requested that Carilion Property Management delete this provision; however, Carillon Property Management has declined to do so. Attached is a resolution which authorizes City Council to waive the City of Roanoke's sovereign immunity for this purpose and to authorize the City Manager to enter into an Agreement, such agreement to be approved as to form by the City Attorney. Considerations: This Agreement would require the City of Roanoke to waive its sovereign immunity for the purpose of and during the time of parking for the event at Rivers Edge Sports Complex. Recommended Action: Approve the attached resolution and authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement. aftelik 24:411 Christopher P.

The City of Roanoke agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Carilion Health System and all its affiliated companies, including Carillon Property Management, from any and all liabilities arising out of the use of the said parking garage.

The organization desires the property to be designated as exempt from real estate taxes pursuant to the provisions of the Code of Virginia. The primary purpose of the organization is to provide the public a year round aquatic facility in the City of Roanoke offering instructional programs for people of all ages regardless of race, age, sex, or socioeconomic background. At present, annual real estate taxes due on the parcel are $8,165, on a total assessed value of $686,100. It should be noted that RVSI leased the underlying real property from the City for a period of twenty years for $1.00 per year until 2011. All improvements contained on the property were constructed and maintained solely at the expense of RVSI during the lease period. On December 30, 2011, RVSI purchased the property from the City for $10.00. Considerations: On May 19, 2003, City Council approved a revised policy and procedure in connection with requests from non - profit organizations for tax exemption of certain property in the City by Resolution 36331-051903, with an effective date of January 1, 2003. Based on this policy and procedure, Roanoke Valley Swimming, Inc., has provided the necessary information required for applications for exemptions that would take effect January 1, 2013. As noted above, the assessed value of the real property at 1 130 Overland Road is currently $686,100, with annual taxes due of $8,165. The organization is current on its taxes. In lieu of the $8,165 in real estate taxes, the organization would agree to pay to the City an annual service charge equal to twenty percent of the tax levy on the parcel for as long as the exemption continues. In this case, based on the current assessed value, the service charge amount would be $1,633. Consequently, the City would currently be foregoing $6,532 in annual real estate revenue. The Commissioner of the Revenue, Sherman Holland, has determined that Roanoke Valley Swimming, Inc. is currently not exempt from paying real estate taxes by classification or designation under the Code of Virginia. The IRS recognizes the organization as a 501(c)(3) tax - exempt organization. Notification of a public hearing to be held October 15, 2012, was duly advertised in the Roanoke Times. Recommended Action Authorize Roanoke Valley Swimming, Inc.`s exemption from real estate taxation pursuant to Article X, Section 6 (a) 6 of the Constitution of Virginia, effective January 1, 2013, if the organization agrees to pay the subject service charge on the real estate by that date. -------------------------- Christopher P.

No such operations exist in Roanoke. Since fall 2011 , City staff has worked with the Co-op to identify properties in the City to support such an operation. A surplus property located within the Roanoke Centre for Industry and Technology (RCIT) has been identified as an appropriate location for the farm operation. The site proposed for sale is a 17.5 acre parcel (Tax Map No. 7230108, known as Heritage Point) that is occupied by two buildings. The site has a large detention pond for stormwater management that handles the drainage for a portion of RCIT. The site, known as Heritage Point, has a barn that was gifted to the City for use by the mounted patrol program. The program was discontinued and the barn is no longer needed by the City. The site also contains a cabin constructed circa 1830, which is in severe disrepair. The Co- op had a restoration expert assess the cabin, who determined it can be restored and placed into productive use. This parcel is not subject to the restrictive covenants in place at RCIT. The Co-op proposal indicates the property would be used for row crops, gardens, greenhouses, fruit trees, and nut trees. Chickens would be pastured on the property for egg production. The barn would be used as the center of the operation. The Co-op has indicated a desire to restore the cabin and use it in the operation, possibly as a residence for an on-site farm manager. The property has multiple legal and physical encumbrances that limit or preclude its usefulness for other commercial or industrial development: • A stormwater detention pond occupies about one-third of the site. The City will need to establish a maintenance easement on this facility. • Multiple drainage and sanitary sewer easements traverse the property. • The parcel has an irregular shape due to the routing of the adjacent right- of-way of Blue Hills Drive. • Access is currently provided by an unimproved gravel road. The proposed purchase price is $30,000, based on the existing encumbrances on the land and in consideration of the condition of the cabin. The sales contract acknowledges that the property is being sold at a significant discount. The contract provides that this discount—equal to the assessed value of the buildings today, minus the purchase amount—would be recaptured by the City if the property is sold within ten years of the closing date. This recapture amount is reduced by 10 percent of the original amount each year over the term of the contract. A public hearing is required to consider a contract for sale of the property. Recommended Action: Absent comments at the public hearing needing further consideration, approve the terms of the Sales Contract between the City and Roanoke Cooperative Association, Ltd., as set forth in the attachment to this report. Authorize the City Manager to execute such Sales Contract between the City and Roanoke Cooperative Association, Ltd., substantially similar to the one attached to this report, and to execute such other documents and to take such further actions as may be necessary to sell the property and to implement, administer, and enforce such Sales Contract, with the form of such Contract and any other documents to be approved by the City Attorney.

J CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT fit- To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Meeting: October 15, 2012 Subject: Public Hearing Authorizing a Lease Agreement for City-Owned Property Located at 1970 Blue Hills Drive, NE., Identified as Tax Map No. 7230104 Background: Roanoke Cooperative Association, Ltd., commonly known as the Roanoke Natural Foods Co-op ("Co-op"), desires to establish and operate an urban farm to provide locally-grown produce. No such operations exist in Roanoke. Since fall 2011 , City staff has worked with the Co-op to identify properties in the City to support such an operation. A surplus property located within the Roanoke Centre for Industry and Technology (RCIT) has been identified as an appropriate setting to cultivate row crops for the farm. The parcel is proposed to be leased with an option to purchase. The site proposed for lease is a 7.36 acre vacant parcel, identified as Tax Map No. 7230104, known as Heritage Heights. The site, due to grading, has steep slopes along its northern and western edges, leaving only 2Y2-3 acres of usable land. The parcel has limited usefulness for commercial or industrial development and would not support the scale of industrial development encouraged in the RCIT. This parcel is subject to the restrictive covenants in place at RCIT that govern use of all parcels in RCIT. Use of the property will be limited to the cultivation of row crops. Small buildings for equipment storage may be erected. A well for irrigation will also be established. The proposed term of the lease is five years. Rent would be a nominal rate of $100 per year. The Co-op would have the option to purchase the property for $30,000 at any time prior to the expiration of the lease term. The purchase amount is based on the value of other agricultural land in the vicinity and the amount of land that is usable for agricultural purposes. A public hearing is required to consider the proposed Lease Agreement. Recommended Action: Absent comments at the public hearing needing further consideration, approve a Lease Agreement between the City and Roanoke Cooperative Association, Ltd., upon the terms as substantially set forth in the attachment to this report. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Lease Agreement between the City and Roanoke Cooperative Association, Ltd., substantially similar to the one attached to this report, and to execute such other documents and to take such further actions as may be necessary to lease the property and to implement, administer, and enforce such Lease Agreement, with the form of such Agreement and any other documents to be approved by the City Attorney. 64114 1" 71:111:11 Christopher P.

ATTEST: 1""""_' hi. ry\Od�v City Clerk. 3 61 Q 1 4 .' 1 r CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Meeting: October 15, 2012 Subject: Approval of Enterprise Zone One A and Enterprise Zone Two and their Subzones Amendment Applications Background: Since the designation of the City Enterprise Zones, both Enterprise Zone One A and Enterprise Zone Two and their Subzones have had amendments to their zone boundaries and local incentives. In accordance with state regulations regarding boundary deletions, each zone can have a maximum acreage deletion of fifteen percent of the current zone size. Enterprise Zone One A and Enterprise Zone Two and their Subzones are eligible for such acreage deletion. In an effort to best utilize Enterprise Zone incentives, City staff recommend boundary amendments set forth below that would delete 236 acres from Zone One A and 243 acres from Zone Two. Such transitions between acreages in the Enterprise Zones are in anticipation of the expiration of Enterprise Zone Two on December 31 , 2015, that the State will not renew Zone Two. Additionally, in accordance with state regulations regarding boundary size, each zone has a maximum acreage limit equal to seven percent of total City acreage. Enterprise Zone One A and its Subzone A have less than the seven percent limit and are eligible to be expanded. In an effort to best utilize Enterprise Zone incentives, City staff recommends boundary amendments as set forth below that would add an additional 40 acres to Zone One A, 3 acres to Zone One A's Subzone A and 243 acres to a new noncontiguous Subzone B to Zone One A. Considerations: The Zone One A boundary deletion amendment includes 25 acres from 0 to 1302 Rockland Avenue, NW, 44 acres of properties fronting on the north and south of Gregory Avenue, NE, the north of McDowell Avenue, NE, and the west side of 5" Street, and 62 acres fronting on the south of Orange Avenue NE, north of Norfolk Avenue, NE, and East of Hollins Road, NE. The Zone One A boundary deletion amendment would also include 104 acres fronting the north of Shenandoah Avenue, NW, west of 31 " Street, NW, and south of Melrose Avenue, NW, and 1 acre on the southeast corner of Campbell Avenue, SW, and 10" Street, SW. The Zone Two boundary deletion amendment deletes 243 acres of property fronting the north and south of Blue Hills Drive, NE, and east and west of Blue Hills Circle, NE, which is the property in RCIT. (This acreage will become Zone One A's new Subzone B as noted below.) Deleting the above properties from the City's Enterprise Zones One A and Two will create additional opportunities for utilizing the program for other areas of the City where growth and revitalization is anticipated. A map showing each boundary deletion amendment is attached hereto and will also be on file in the City Clerk's Office (Attachment 1). (The red boxes represent the boundary deletions from Zone One A. The green area shows the acreage deleted from Zone Two that will become Zone One A's new Subzone B.) The Zone One A boundary addition amendment adds a 3 acre addition fronting the east side of 1954 to 1942 Franklin Road, SW, including 250 Reserve Avenue, SW, and will be in Subzone A of Enterprise Zone One A. The Zone One A boundary addition amendment adds a 3 acre addition fronting the north of Chapman Avenue, SW, from 1809 to 1822 Chapman Avenue, SW, and 1 acre at 220 Church Avenue, SW. Also, the boundary addition amendment adds 19 acres at 5008 Airport Road, NW, 1 3 acres fronting the north and south of Patterson Avenue, SW, from 12`h Street, SW, to 14ch Street, SW, and 4 acres fronting on the northeast corner of Melrose Avenue, NW, and Peters Creek Road, NW. The Zone One A boundary addition amendment adds the 243 acres deleted from Enterprise Zone Two. This acreage fronts the north and south of Blue Hills Drive, NE and the east and west of Blue Hills Circle, NE, and will be a new noncontiguous Subzone B of Enterprise Zone One A. Adding the above properties to the City's Enterprise Zone One A, its Subzone A, and creating a new Subzone B will generate additional opportunities for revitalization where buildings and sites are currently vacant or underutilized. A map showing each boundary amendment is attached hereto and will also be on file in the City Clerk's Office (Attachment 1 ). (The blue boxes represent the boundary additions to Zone One A and its Subzone A. The green area shows the acreage deleted from Zone Two that will become Zone One A's new Subzone B) In accordance with the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development's Virginia Enterprise Zone Program regulations, the local governing body must hold at least one public hearing affording citizens or interested parties an opportunity to be heard before submitting an amendment application to the Department for consideration. Such public hearing is being held at Council's regular 7:00 p.m. meeting on October 15, 2012. Upon approval by City Council, the boundary amendments will be submitted to the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (VDHCD). Such amendments are subject to approval by the VDHCD. If approved, the amendments will be retroactive to a date approved by the VDHCD. 2 Recommended Action: Absent comments at the public hearing requiring further consideration, City Council adopt the appropriate measures to modify the boundaries of Enterprise Zone One A, its Subzone A, and Enterprise Zone Two and to add a new Subzone B to Zone One A, all subject to approval by the VDHCD, with an effective date retroactive to a date approved by the VDHCD, as set forth above. Furthermore, City Council authorize the City Manager to apply to the VDHCD for approval of the above mentioned amendments and to take such further action and/or to execute such additional documents as may be needed or obtain or confirm such amendments and to meet the Program requirements throughout the life of the Zones.
