for the purpose of providing net proceeds of sale (after taking into account costs of

acquisition, construction, reconstruction, improvement, extension, enlargement and
equipping of various public improvement projects of and for the City (including related

amount of general obligation bonds of the City to be designated and known as the "City
of Roanoke, Virginia, General Obligation Public Improvement Bonds" (referred to herein
as the "Bonds").
(b)The Bonds shall be issued and sold in their entirety at one time, or from time
to time in part in series, as shall be determined by the Director of Finance. There shall
be added to the designation of the Bonds a series designation determined by the
Director of Finance. The Bonds shall be issued in fully registered form in the
denomination of $5,000.00 each or any integral multiple thereof. The Bonds of a given
series shall be numbered from No. R-1 upwards in order of issuance. The Bonds shall
bear interest from their date payable on such date and semiannually thereafter as shall
be determined by the City Manager and the Director of Finance in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8 hereof. The Bonds of each series shall be issued in such
aggregate principal amounts (not exceeding the aggregate principal amount specified in
Section 1(a)); and shall mature on such dates and in such years (but in no event
exceeding forty (40) years from their date or dates), and in the principal amount in each
such year, as shall be determined by the City Manager and the Director of Finance in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8 hereof. Interest on the Bonds shall be

thirty (30) day months.
283
(c)The Bonds (or portions thereof in installments of $5,000.00) shall be subject to
redemption at the option of the City prior to their stated maturities, in whole or in part
from time to time on any date, in such order as may be determined by the City (except
that if at any time less than all of the Bonds of a given maturity are called for
redemption, the particular Bonds or portions thereof in installments of$5,000.00 of such
maturity to be redeemed shall be selected by lot), upon payment of such redemption
prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Bonds to be
redeemed), together with the interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for the
redemption thereof, as shall be determined by the City Manager and the Director of
Finance in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 hereof.
(d) (i) If any Bond (or any portion of the principal amount thereof in
installments of $5,000.00) shall be called for redemption, notice of the redemption
thereof, specifying the date, number and maturity of such Bond, the date and place or
places fixed for its redemption, and if less than the entire principal amount of such Bond
is to be redeemed, that such Bond must be surrendered in exchange for the principal
amount thereof to be redeemed and a new Bond or Bonds issued equalling in principal
amount that portion of the principal amount thereof not to be redeemed, shall be mailed
not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption, by first class mail,
postage prepaid, to the registered owner thereof at the address of such registered
owner as it appears on the books of registry kept by the Registrar as of the close of
business on the forty-fifth (45th) day next preceding the date fixed for redemption. If
notice of the redemption of any Bond shall have been given as aforesaid, and payment
of the principal amount of such Bond (or the portion of the principal amount thereof to
be redeemed) and of the accrued interest payable upon such redemption shall have
been duly made or provided for, interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after
the date so specified for the redemption thereof.
(ii) Any notice of the optional redemption of the Bonds may state that it is
conditioned upon there being on deposit with the City on the date fixed for the
redemption thereof an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of such
Bonds, together with the interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for the redemption
thereof, and any conditional notice so given may be rescinded at any time before the
payment of the redemption price of such Bonds, together with the interest accrued
thereon, is due and payable if any such condition so specified is not satisfied. If a
redemption of any Bonds does not occur after a conditional notice is given due to there
not being on deposit with the City a sufficient amount of money to pay the redemption
price of such Bonds, together with the interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for the
redemption thereof, the corresponding notice of redemption shall be deemed to be
revoked.
(Hi) So long as the Bonds are in book-entry only form, any notice of
• redemption shall be given only to The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York
("DTC"), or to its nominee. The City shall not be responsible for providing any beneficial
owner of the Bonds any notice of redemption.

collected, a tax upon all taxable property within the City, over and above all other taxes,
authorized or limited by law and without limitation as to rate or amount, sufficient to pay
when due the principal of and interest on the Bonds to the extent other funds of the City
are not lawfully available and appropriated for such purpose.

are authenticated as follows: (i) if a Bond is authenticated prior to the first interest
payment date, the certificate shall be dated as of the date of the initial issuance and
delivery of the Bonds of the series of Bonds of which such Bond is one, (ii) if a Bond is
authenticated upon an interest payment date, the certificate shall be dated as of such
interest payment date, (iii) if a Bond is authenticated after the fifteenth (15th) day of the
calendar month next preceding an interest payment date and prior to such interest
payment date, the certificate shall be dated as of such interest payment date and (iv) in
all other instances the certificate shall be dated as of the interest payment date next
preceding the date upon which the Bond is authenticated. In the event the Bonds of
any series shall be dated as of a date other than the first day of a calendar month or the
dates on which interest is payable on such series are other than the first days of
calendar months, the provisions of this Section 3(c) with regard to the authentication of
such Bonds and of Section 9 with regard to the form of such Bonds shall be modified as

above is adopted as a due and sufficient authentication of the Bonds.

by an authorized representative of DTC, interest on the Bonds shall be paid directly to
Cede & Co. or such other nominee of DTC by wire transfer.
(b) At all times during which any Bond of any series remains outstanding and
unpaid, the Registrar for such series shall keep or cause to be kept at its office books of
registry for the registration, exchange and transfer of Bonds of such series. Upon
presentation at its office for such purpose the Registrar, under such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, shall register, exchange or transfer, or cause to be
registered, exchanged or transferred, on the books of registry the Bonds as
hereinbefore set forth.
(c) The books of registry shall at all times be open for inspection by the City
or any duly authorized officer thereof.

(e) Any Bond of any series may, in accordance with its terms, be transferred
upon the books of registry by the registered owner of such Bond in person or by the
duly authorized attorney for such registered owner, upon surrender of such Bond to the
Registrar for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly
executed by the registered owner in person or by the duly authorized attorney for such
registered owner, in form satisfactory to the Registrar.
(f) All transfers or exchanges pursuant to this Section 4 shall be made
without expense to the registered owners of such Bonds, except as otherwise herein
provided, and except that the Registrar for such series of Bonds shall require the
payment by the registered owner of the Bond requesting such transfer or exchange of
any tax or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect to such transfer
or exchange. All Bonds surrendered pursuant to this Section 4 shall be cancelled.
(g) (i) The Bonds shall be issued in full book-entry form. One Bond representing
each maturity of the Bonds will be issued to and registered in the name of Cede & Co.,
as nominee of DTC, as registered owner of the Bonds, and each such Bond will be
immobilized in the custody of DTC. DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds.
Individual purchases will be made in book-entry form only, in the principal amount of
$5,000.00 or any whole multiple thereof. Purchasers will not receive physical delivery of
certificates representing their interest in the Bonds purchased.
286
(ii) Principal and interest payments on the Bonds will be made by the
Registrar to DTC or its nominee, Cede & Co., as registered owner of the Bonds, which
will in turn remit such payments to the DTC participants for subsequent disbursal to the
beneficial owners of the Bonds. Transfers of principal and interest payments to DTC
participants will be the responsibility of DTC. Transfers of such payments to beneficial
owners of the Bonds by DTC participants will be the responsibility of such participants
and other nominees of such beneficial owners. Transfers of ownership interests in the
Bonds will be accomplished by book entries made by DTC and, in turn, by the DTC
participants who act on behalf of the indirect participants of DTC and the beneficial
owners of the Bonds.
(iii) The City will not be responsible or liable for sending transaction
statements or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing records maintained by DTC, its
participants or persons acting through such participants or for transmitting payments to,

but no such number shall constitute a part of the contract evidenced by the particular
Bond upon which it is printed; no liability shall attach to the City or any officer or agent
thereof (including any paying agent for the Bonds) by reason of such numbers or any
use made thereof (including any use thereof made by the City, any such officer or any
such agent) or by reason of any inaccuracy, error or omission with respect thereto or in
such use; and any inaccuracy, error or omission with respect to such numbers shall not '
constitute cause for failure or refusal by the successful bidder or purchaser to accept
delivery of and pay for the Bonds in accordance with the terms of its bid. All expenses
in connection with the assignment and printing of CUSIP numbers on the Bonds shall
be paid by the City; provided, however, that the CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the
assignment of such numbers shall be the responsibility of the successful bidder for or
purchaser of the Bonds.
(b) A copy of the final legal opinion with respect to the Bonds, with the name
of the attorney or attorneys rendering the same, together with a certification of the City
Clerk, executed by a facsimile signature of that officer, to the effect that such copy is a
true and complete copy (except for letterhead and date) of the legal opinion which was
dated as of the date of delivery of and payment for the Bonds, may be printed on the
Bonds.

that the interest on any Bonds issued hereunder shall be excludable from gross income
for purposes of federal income taxation, the City covenants and agrees that it shall
comply with the provisions of Sections 103 and 141-150 of the Internal Revenue Code

unanimous consent of the Member localities. Each Member locality may consider its
terms in the participation in each proposed project. The cost for such Participation
Agreements and any remuneration from the creation of a Participation Agreement shall
only be shared by the Member localities that participate in the Participation Agreement
in accordance with the participating agreements for that project.

Authority is located may direct, by resolution or ordinance that all tax revenues collected
with respect to the facility shall be remitted to the Authority. Such revenues may be

Member localities may agree to a revenue and economic growth sharing arrangement

the governing bodies of the Member localities reaching such an agreement, but shall
not require any other approval.

purpose, including the establishment of reserves and the payment of interest.

An ORDINANCE adding Chapter 11.5, Stormwater Utility, to the Code of the City
of Roanoke (1979), as amended; authorizing the City Manager to take appropriate
actions to facilitate an effective transition and implement the Ordinance; providing for
effective dates; and dispensing with the second reading by title of this Ordinance.
WHEREAS, during the past several years, City Council and City Staff have
periodically held briefings, discussions, and studied the establishment of a Stormwater
Utility for the City and the need for such Utility;
WHEREAS, during the past year, City Council has been briefed by City Staff on
the need for the establishment of a Stormwater Utility for the City in order to address
significant stormwater capital projects within the City, increase maintenance of the City's
stormwater infrastructure, and to comply with emerging Federal and Commonwealth of
Virginia environmental regulations;
WHEREAS, during City Council's most recent briefing on September 3, 2013, by
City Staff on the Stormwater Utility matter, it was recommended that the establishment
of a Stormwater Utility for the City move forward and allow Council to consider adopting
a Stormwater Utility Ordinance in order to create such a Utility; and
451
WHEREAS, Council has held a public hearing in accordance with Section 15.2-
- 2114(B) of the Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, on October 21, 2013, at which
public hearing citizens were afforded the opportunity to present their opinions and views
in support of or in opposition to the proposed the Stormwater Utility Ordinance.
THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the City of Roanoke as
follows:
1. Adding a new Chapter 11.5, Stormwater Utility, to the Code of the City of
Roanoke (1979), as amended, to read and provide as follows:
CHAPTER 11.5 STORMWATER UTILITY
Sec. 11.5-1. Authority and effective date.
The City is authorized by the provisions of § 15.2-2114, Code of Virginia (1950),
as amended, to establish a utility to support stormwater management activities
consistent with the Virginia Stormwater Management Act, § 10.1-603.1 et seq.,
Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, and other state and federal stormwater
regulations.
This Chapter shall be effective July 1, 2014, with the initial stormwater utility fee
bill due and payable on or before October 5, 2014 in the same manner
prescribed in § 32-16 et seq., Code of the City of Roanoke (1979), Real Estate
Taxes. Notwithstanding, the City Manager is authorized to develop policies,
procedures, and manuals necessary to implement this Chapter in accordance
with § 11.5-2 and to accept applications for credits in accordance with § 11.5-7
prior to July 1, 2014.
Sec. 11.5-2. Purpose and organization.
City Council finds that an adequate, sustainable source of revenue for
stormwater management activities is necessary to protect the general health,
safety, and welfare of the residents of the City. Further, Council finds that
parcels, as that term is defined in Appendix A to the City's Zoning Ordinance,
§ 36.2-100 et seq., Code of the City of Roanoke (1979) (City Code), with higher
amounts of impervious surfaces contribute greater amounts of stormwater and
pollutants to the City's stormwater management system and that the owners of
such parcels should carry a proportionate burden of the cost of such system.
Therefore, Council determines that a stormwater utility (utility) based on a
parcel's impervious surface cover is in the best interest of the public.
° The utility shall be operated under the direction of the City Manager, who shall
organize, direct, and manage the utility, including the development of necessary
policies, procedures, and manuals as authorized by this Chapter.
452
Sec. 11.5-3. Stormwater utility fee.
(a) There is hereby established a stormwater utility fee (fee) imposed on all
improved parcels in the City that exist on January 1 of each year
regardless of whether the parcel is subject to taxation under § 32-16 et
seq., Code of the City of Roanoke (1979), Real Estate Taxes. All revenue
from the fee shall be deposited into a stormwater utility enterprise fund for
the sole purpose of funding the activities described in § 11.5-5.
(b) The monthly utility fee rate for each billing unit as defined in § 11.5-10
shall be set by City Council by separate resolution or with the adoption of
the City budget. Each improved parcel in the City shall be charged in
accordance with § 11.5-6.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Chapter, the impervious surface of a
parcel shall be determined by the City using one or more of the following,
at the discretion of the City Manager: aerial photography; as-built
drawings; final approved site plans; building permits; field surveys; or
other appropriate engineering and mapping analysis tools.
Sec. 11.5-4. Exemptions.
Notwithstanding § 11.5-3 above, the following parcels shall be exempt from the
stormwater utility fee:
(a) Unimproved parcels as defined in § 11.5-10;
(b) Parcels owned by a federal, state, or local government, or public entity,
that holds a permit to discharge stormwater from a municipal separate
storm sewer system, except that this exemption shall apply only to parcels
or portions of parcels covered by any such permit and shall not apply to
parcels owned and maintained by the City of Roanoke that are not
otherwise exempt under subsection (c) below; and,
(c) Public roads and street rights-of-way that are owned and maintained by
the Commonwealth of Virginia, the City of Roanoke, or a local agency,
including property rights-of-way acquired through the acquisitions process.
Sec. 11.5-5. Stormwater utility enterprise fund.
There shall be established a stormwater utility enterprise fund (fund) from the
deposit of all fees, charges, and other revenue collected by the utility, as well as
any other revenue as may be determined by Council or the City Manager, ^+
including but not limited to grants and special appropriations. The fund shall be
used exclusively to pay or recover costs for the following:
453
(a) The acquisition by gift, purchase, or condemnation, as authorized by law,
of real and personal property, and interest therein, necessary to construct,
operate, and maintain stormwater control facilities;
(b) The cost of administration of such programs;
(c) Planning, design, engineering, construction, and debt retirement for new
facilities and enlargement or improvement of existing facilities, including
the enlargement or improvement of dams, levees, floodwalls, and pump
stations, whether publicly or privately owned, that serve to control
stormwater;
(d) Facility operation and maintenance, including the maintenance of dams,
levees, floodwalls, and pump stations, whether publicly or privately owned,
that serve to control stormwater;
(e) Monitoring of stormwater control devices and ambient water quality
monitoring; and
(f) Other activities consistent with the state or federal regulations or permits
governing stormwater management, including, but not limited to, public
education, watershed planning, inspection and enforcement activities, and
pollution prevention planning and implementation.
Sec. 11.5-6. Stormwater utility fee calculation.
(a) Except as otherwise provided, the minimum stormwater utility fee shall be
the rate established for one billing unit and shall be calculated for each
parcel in the following manner:
(1) Determine the impervious surface of the parcel in square feet.
(2) Divide the impervious surface of the parcel by the billing unit.
(3) Round the resulting calculation to the nearest whole number to
determine the number of billing units.
(4) Multiply the number of billing units determined in subsection (3)
above by the rate established in § 11.5-3 to obtain the stormwater
utility fee for the parcel.
454
(b) Where a parcel with impervious surface is held in common ownership, the
fee shall be calculated in accordance with subsection (a) above. The City
Manager may directly bill the entity responsible for the parcel held in
common ownership, or distribute the resulting fee equally among those
owning an interest in the parcel held in common ownership. In addition,
the City Manager, in his or her sole discretion, may develop alternative
methodologies for billing a parcel held in common ownership on a case-
by-case basis.
Sec. 11.5-7. Stormwater utility fee credits.
Section 15.2-2114.B, Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, recognizes that a
continued investment in an on-site stormwater management facility results in a
reduced impact on the public stormwater management system.
The City Manager is authorized to adopt policies, procedures, and manuals
necessary to implement, administer, and enforce this section.
(a) Credit Eligibility. Only on-site stormwater management facilities meeting
the following criteria are eligible for a credit against the stormwater utility
fee:
(1) The parcel owner must submit a Credit Application Form provided
by the City in accordance with subsection (c) below.
(2) The parcel owner must maintain the structure and function of a
stormwater management facility and operate the stormwater
management facility.
(3) The parcel owner must have a properly executed maintenance
agreement with the City that has been properly recorded in the land
records of the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of the City of
Roanoke.
(4) The parcel owner must demonstrate to the City's satisfaction that
the facility is functioning as originally designed. The structure must
be maintained to the satisfaction of the City Manager in accordance
with the properly executed maintenance agreement.
455
(5) The facility must have met the criteria in existence at the time of
construction in at least one of the following sections of the City
Code, or their predecessor sections of the City Code, if applicable:
(i) § 11.4-16, Water Quality; or
(ii) Both § 11.4-17, Stream Channel Erosion, and § 11.4-18,
Flooding.
(6) Facilities that do not meet the minimum criteria in subsection (5)
above may still be considered on a case-by-case basis at the
discretion of the City Manager if it is demonstrated that the facility
achieves a permanent reduction in post-development stormwater
flow and pollutant loading. The credit may be prorated based on an
analysis of the benefits of the reduction.
(7) The City Manager shall have the discretion to modify one or more
of the credit eligibility requirements set forth in this section for
residential credit applications, including establishing the definition of
residential properties for purposes of residential credit applications.
The definition of residential properties entitled to submit residential
credit applications and any such other modifications shall be
included in the policies, procedures, or manuals adopted by the
City Manager pursuant to this Section 11.5-7.
(b) Credit Amounts.
(1) The maximum credit allowed is 50% of the total annual stormwater
utility fee, except as provided in subsection (6) below.
(2) For an on-site stormwater management facility, the credit amount is
based on the amount of impervious surface located on the parcel
draining to the facility, and not the total amount of impervious
surface cover on the parcel.
(3) Credits for on-site stormwater management facilities are as follows
if the facility was required under the provisions of Chapter § 11.4,
Stormwater Management, of the City Code:
(i) A ten percent (10%) credit is allowed if the facility, or
facilities, provide water quality benefits in accordance with §
11.4-16 of the City Code.
456
(ii) A ten percent (10%) credit is allowed if the facility, or
facilities, provide both stream channel erosion control
benefits in accordance with § 11.4-17 of the City Code and
flood control benefits in accordance with § 11.4-18 of the
City Code.
(4) At the City Manager's discretion, a credit of up to five percent (5%)
in addition to that provided in subsection (3) above may be granted
for a facility that achieves benefits above those required by the City
Code.
(5) If an on-site stormwater management facility is part of a voluntary
retrofit, the amount of credit the facility is eligible to receive in
accordance with subsections (3) and (4) above shall be doubled.
(6) The owner of an eligible facility that treats off-site impervious
surface located within the City may take a credit for treating the off-
site impervious surface. The off-site credit amount shall be
calculated in the same manner as if the facility was located on the
off-site parcel. However, in no case shall the total credit exceed the
total amount of the annual stormwater utility fee charged to the
parcel owner.
(c) Application and Maintenance Verification.
(1) There is no fee for credit application.
(2) To apply for the initial credit for an on-site stormwater management
facility, the parcel owner must submit, at his or her own expense, a
Credit Application Form to be provided by the City Manager. The
Credit Application Form shall require the following information:
(i) A description of the type of facility (or facilities), the
stormwater control standard met by the facility, and the year
the facility was built;
(ii) A drainage area map, drawn to scale, for the facility showing
the drainage boundaries and the impervious area treated by
the facility in square feet;
(iii) As-built or other acceptable engineering plans for the facility;
(iv) A narrative of the known maintenance history of the facility, •
including routine maintenance and significant structural
maintenance and repair;
457
(v) A copy of the City's standard maintenance agreement that
has been executed by the City and properly recorded in the
land records of the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of
the City of Roanoke. If there is no existing facility
maintenance agreement,
(vi) Information on any public funds used to construct, repair,
upgrade, or retrofit the facility, including the amount and the
date(s);
(vii) Calculations to determine the monetary amount of the
claimed credit; and
(viii) A completed inspection checklist certifying that the facility is
functioning as originally designed. "Functioning as originally
designed" means that the facility is operating in accordance
with the original design specifications, regardless of the
standard in effect at the time of the installation. The
checklist must be signed and sealed by a Professional
Engineer. The inspection checklist shall be no more than
one year old at the time of application.
(3) Once approved, the parcel owner will continue to receive the credit
as long as the facility continues to function as originally designed,
and subject to reporting requirements established by the City
Manager. The City Manager may revoke the credit if an inspection
by the City Manager or a designated representative determines that
the facility is no longer being properly maintained or functioning as
designed. Such revocation will be effective thirty (30) days after the
City Manager has notified the parcel owner in writing of the
deficiency(s) and if the problems are not resolved. The revocation
may be delayed for an additional period, at the discretion of the City
Manager, provided that the parcel owner is diligently pursuing work
to eliminate deficiencies.
(4) Any maintenance or functional deficiencies must be remedied at
the owner's expense before a facility may qualify, or re-qualify (after
revocation), for a credit.
458
(5) The City Manager shall have the discretion to modify the
application and maintenance verification criteria and the Credit a
Application Form for residential credit applications, including the
definition of residential properties qualified to submit residential
credit applications and any such other modifications shall be
included in the policies, procedures, or manuals adopted by the
City Manager pursuant to this Section 11.5-7.
(d) Public Improvements to Private Facilities. A privately owned and operated
facility that was constructed or upgraded using City provided funds shall
be treated in the following manner:
(1) Newly Constructed Facility. The parcel owner shall not be eligible
for a credit until such time that the cumulative amount of credit that
otherwise would have been allowed if the facility was constructed
using private funds equals or exceeds the City's investment.
(2) Existing, Non-Functioning Facility Upgraded to Function Properly.
The parcel owner shall not be eligible for a credit until such time
that the cumulative amount of credit that otherwise would have
been allowed if the upgrade or retrofit was constructed using
private funds equals or exceeds the City's investment.
(3) Existing, Functioning Facility Upgraded and Eligible for Higher
Credit. The parcel owner shall be eligible for the original credit. At
such time that the cumulative difference between the original credit
and the higher credit equals or exceeds the City's investment, the
parcel owner shall also be eligible for the higher credit.
(e) Credit for Industrial Stormwater Permits. Subject to the maximum credit in
subsection (b)(1) above, a ten percent (10%) credit is allowed for any
parcel, or portion of a parcel, that is subject to, and in compliance with, an
individual or general Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
industrial stormwater permit issued in accordance with 9VAC25-31-120,
Virginia Administrative Code, as amended. To apply for the initial credit,
the parcel owner must provide the City Manager with proof of permit
coverage, the date of permit expiration, and a cover letter affirming that
the parcel is in full compliance with the permit requirements. The credit
will expire on permit expiration unless the parcel owner provides proof to
the City Manager that the permit has been renewed.
. a
459
(f) Affirmative Duty and Timing. It is the sole responsibility of the parcel
owner to apply for a credit in accordance with policies, procedures, and
manuals adopted by the City Manager. A credit that is approved by
January 1 of a given year thereafter will be applied in full to the upcoming
billing cycle.

(a) The stormwater utility fee shall be billed and payable on the same
schedule as prescribed in § 32-18, Code of the City of Roanoke (1979),
Real Estate Taxes, and shall be subject to the same penalties and interest
as prescribed in § 32-19, unless a petition for adjustment has been
submitted and is under active consideration by the City Manager in
accordance with § 11.5-9 below. The stormwater utility fee may be billed
separately or may be combined with other billings, and, when combined,
payment will be applied first to the stormwater utility fee and then to all
other taxes and fees, as determined by the City Treasurer, in accordance
with § 15.2-2114.G, Code of Virginia (1950), as amended.
(b) A delinquent stormwater utility fee, along with cumulative interest and
penalties, shall constitute a lien on the parcel ranking in parity with liens
for unpaid taxes and shall be collected in the same manner as provided
for the collection of unpaid real estate taxes.
Sec. 11.5-9. Petitions for adjustments.
(a) Any parcel owner may request an adjustment of the stormwater utility fee
by submitting a request in writing to the City Manager no later than thirty
(30) days after the date the bill is mailed or issued to the parcel owner.
Grounds for adjustment are limited to the following:
(1) An error was made regarding the square footage of
impervious surface;
(2) The parcel is exempt under the provisions of§ 11.5-4;
(3) There is a mathematical error in the fee calculation;
(4) The identification of the parcel owner invoiced is in error; or
(5) An approved credit was incorrectly applied.

(b) The parcel owner shall complete a Stormwater Utility Fee Adjustment
application form supplied by the City Manager.
(c) If the request for adjustment is regarding an error in the measured
impervious surface, a plan view of the parcel's impervious surface must be
submitted with the application, and shall be prepared at the owner's
expense. The plan must meet the following criteria:
(1) The plan must show all impervious surfaces and label their
dimensions within the parcel boundaries; and
(2) The plan must be signed and sealed by a Professional
Engineer or Professional Land Surveyor licensed in the
Commonwealth of Virginia attesting to the accuracy of the
impervious surface measurements.
(d) The requirement for a plan view of the parcel's impervious surfaces
required in subsection (c) above may be waived, if in the sole discretion of
the City Manager the error is obvious and is the result of a technical error
or oversight by the City. In such case, the City shall be responsible for
recalculating the impervious surface of the parcel.
(e) The City Manager shall make a determination within thirty (30) days of _ ..
receipt of a complete submittal for the request for adjustment. In the event
that the City Manager finds that the appeal is deficient or incomplete, the
City Manager shall offer the owner thirty (30) days to supply the missing
information from the time of the determination. If the information is not
provided to the City Manager within the additional thirty (30) day period,
the request will be deemed withdrawn.

A RESOLUTION in Support of the Marketplace Fairness Act.
WHEREAS, local retailers have been hurt in recent years by online and catalog
purchases by customers who believe they get a discount by not paying sales tax;
WHEREAS, a brick-and-mortar retailer collects the sales tax at the time of
purchase in a store, but the responsibility for paying the tax from an online purchase
shifts to the Internet customer who should pay the sales tax when filing an annual state
tax return;
WHEREAS, most taxpayers are not aware of the responsibility to remit these
taxes, and state and local governments do not have the resources to enforce payment
putting retailers located in Roanoke at a 5.3 percent competitive price disadvantage to
remote sellers;
WHEREAS, the current taxation system creates an unlevel playing field between
internet-based retailers and Roanoke-based retailers;
475
WHEREAS, the unlevel playing field and tax collection loophole given to online-
only retailers deprives local economies of precious financial resources for providing
services such as schools, public safety, and infrastructure;
WHEREAS, local brick and mortar retailers serve as a foundation of our
economy and are permanent, engaged members of the community who employ our
citizens, support neighborhood charities and organizations, and contribute to the City;
WHEREAS, the Supreme Court's decision in Quill Corp. v. North Dakota, 504
U.S. 298 (1992), left state and local governments unable to adequately enforce their
existing sales tax laws on sales by out-of-state catalog and online sellers;
WHEREAS, the Court did state that Congress had the constitutional authority to
pass legislation overruling its decision;
WHEREAS, if Congress acts to regulate interstate commerce, state and local
governments could collect taxes owed on Internet and mail order sales amounting to an
estimated $23 billion annually;
WHEREAS, the Marketplace Fairness Act would grant states the authority to
require out-of- state online and catalog retailers to collect sales taxes at the time of a
transaction - exactly like local retailers are already required to do;
WHEREAS, the Act would only grant this authority to states that simplify their
sales tax laws in order to ease compliance; and
WHEREAS, the Marketplace Fairness Act was passed by the United States
Senate on a bipartisan vote of 69 to 27 on May 6, 2013.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Roanoke as
follows:
1. The City of Roanoke urges the United States House of Representatives to
adopt the Marketplace Fairness Act (S743 and HR684) to level the playing field for local
retail businesses by allowing individual states the authority to streamline their sales tax
laws and collect sales taxes directly from online retailers.

Introduction requirement for Bills with Local Fiscal Impacts.
WHEREAS, many local governing bodies in Virginia have an ever-growing
concern about the impact on localities of state mandates and cost shifting;
WHEREAS, Section 30-19.03 of the Code of Virginia states that the Commission
on Local Government shall prepare and publish a statement of fiscal impact for "any bill
requiring a net additional expenditure by any county, city, or town, or...any bill requiring
a net reduction of revenues by any county, city, or town, is filed during any session of
the General Assembly";
WHEREAS, numerous bills fitting this criteria have been submitted and gone
through the legislative process without review for local fiscal impacts due to limited time
and resources to review these bills during the General Assembly session;
WHEREAS, it is also recognized that a need exists for additional time and
resources to provide such information during the tight procedural confines of the current
legislative process; and
WHEREAS, we believe it is critical that lawmakers have better and timelier
