;; CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
tt
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Meeting: August 19, 2013
Subject: Fair Housing Board Annual Report for 2013
The Fair Housing Board is pleased to provide this Annual Report for 2013 to
City Council. As you will read below, the Board undertook a number of
activities during the past year and is looking to a new year of both
opportunities and challenges.
Purpose and Function:
Under the City Code, the Fair Housing Board is to serve as a source of public
information on fair housing through outreach, education and training. Through
a modest annual allocation from the City's Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG), detailed below, the Board has continued efforts to raise
awareness.
Membership:
During the past year, the Board worked diligently to secure a full complement
of members. This was accomplished by the appointment of three new
members. The Board had a full membership of 7 active and involved citizens.
Outreach and Education Activities:
The Fair Housing Board is pleased to report a significant increase in activities
and outreach compared to prior years. In line with the Board's mission, two
Fair Housing seminars were held at the Jefferson Center. The first session, held
in December, 2012, was led by Mally Dryden-Mason of the Virginia Fair Housing
Office, and was similar to previous events, drawing 88 realtors and housing
providers. The April, 2013 session included a presentation by New York City
attorney and author Ron Leshnower, in addition to Mally Dryden-Mason of the
Virginia Fair Housing Office, drawing 135 participants.
The Board conducted quarterly presentations to Trust House residents, with a
total of 96 attending.
To accompany the proclamation of the month of April as Fair Housing Month,
the Board held a poster contest for elementary school children. There were 24
entries. All entries were displayed in the Main Library. The 2 winning entries
were displayed on billboard and bus ad campaigns and on the cover of the Fair
Housing Board's booklet "Fair Housing: What You Need to Know".
In accordance with the recently completed Analysis of Impediments to Fair
Housing Choice, the Fair Housing Board is partnering with the Blue Ridge
Independent Living Center (BRILC) and Virginia Housing Development Authority
(VHDA) to identify and promote disabled-accessible rental units. The Board is
also offering guidance to housing providers on fair housing and tenant
selection policy.
In accordance with Title VIII of the Federal Civil Rights Act, the Board is
reviewing HUD-funded contracts the City engages in with sub-recipients to
ensure fair housing compliance.
Statistics:
Given the Board's education and outreach focus, persons who contact the City
about possible fair housing issues are provided information and referred to the
Virginia Fair Housing Office for additional assistance and to file complaints, if
they desire to do so. The Board periodically obtains the statistics on the
complaints filed with the State. In addition, the Board also attempts to obtain
data from local agencies such as TAP, Legal Aid and the RRHA that are often
contacted by persons who believe a fair housing rights issue has occurred. This
data helps the Board focus its education and outreach.
For the July 2012 to June 2013 period, four incidents of alleged housing
discrimination were reported by the local agencies to the Fair Housing Board.
The protected classes affected were familial status (1 ), disability (1 ), religion (1 )
and elderliness (1 ). These complaints were filed with the Virginia Fair Housing
Office and/or the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Of these, one (familial status) was successfully mediated by the State Fair
Housing Office, and 3 were closed due to failure of the complainant to respond
to State Fair Housing Office inquiries.
Budget:
As stated earlier, to help support its activities, the Board receives an annual
CDBG allocation, currently set at $15,000. Based on prior activities, the
budgeted uses planned for the FY 2013-2014 period are shown in the table
below. As recommended by the Analysis of Impediments, allocations to Fair
Housing Board activities were increased to 1% of total CDBG funding. The
additional $10,000 will be allocated to staff costs.
Fair Housing Board 2013-2014 Budget
Staff Salary and Benefits $ 9,792
Fees for Professional Services $ 500
Admin Supplies $ 400
Training and Development $ 4,308
Paired Testing Services $12,000
2
What Lies Ahead:
For FY 2013-2014, the Fair Housing Board has several priorities:
In response to recommendations of the latest Analysis of Impediments to Fair
Housing Choice, completed in the spring of 2012, the Fair Housing Board will
shift focus to concentrate its efforts more on active outreach rather than on
advertising. The Board will increase the number of seminars for realtors,
property managers, property owners and mortgage lenders from semi-annually
to three times per year. The Board will continue to schedule presentations to
both resident groups and staff of residential programs such as Trust House,
and actively seek out additional opportunities to present to other organizations
such as the Housing Authority and the Sheriffs Department. The Board has
made overtures to both the Roanoke Valley Apartment Association and the
Roanoke Valley Association of Realtors, and will begin offering educational
presentations to those organizations, as well as policy and advertising review
services for adherence to fair housing regulations.
In response to recommendations of the latest Analysis of Impediments to Fair
Housing Choice, the Board will complete its database of disabled accessible
rental units within the City, using that data to promote the construction and
retrofitting of accessible units.
The Board will continue its efforts to raise public awareness regarding fair
housing rights and responsibilities. The Board will contract with an agency to
provide paired testing of rental properties and, using the results, tailor
outreach programs to inform both property owners and the public.
The Fair Housing Board hopes that Council finds this annual report informative
and useful. The Chair and Board Members stand ready to respond to Council's
questions and guidance.

�� CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
1
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Meeting: August 19, 2013
Subject: Amendment to the Roanoke City Public Schools (RCPS) FY 2012-
2013 Categorical Budget
Background
On June 24, 2013, prior to the fiscal year end, the School Board approved an
amendment to the RCPS FY 2012-2013 Categorical Budget for the General Fund,
the Food Service Fund and the Athletics Fund. The amendments are as follows:
JULY 2012 PROPOSED
AMENDED AMENDED INCREASE/
BUDGET BUDGET (DECREASE)
GENERAL FUND
Revenues $144,508,095 5144,508,095 -
Expenditures $149,018,386 $155,018,386 $ 6,000,000
Fund Balance $ (4,510291) 5 (10,510,291) $ (6,000,000)
FOOD SERVICE FUND
Revenues $ 6,250,000 5 6,250,000
Expenditures $ 6,250,000 5 7,250,000 $ 1,000,000
Fund Balance - $ (1,000,000) $ (1,000,000)
ATHLETICS FUND
Revenues $ 1,600,000 5 1,700,000 5 100,000
Expenditures $ 1,600,000 5 1,700,000 S 100,000
Considerations
The increase in the General Fund expenditure budget is related to the level of
outstanding purchase commitments at the end ofJune. The Athletics Fund
increase is due to higher participation in school sports requiring the purchase
of additional uniforms and equipment. Both the General Fund and the Athletics
Fund are expected to be close to the adopted FY 2012-2013 budgets but the
School Board deemed it prudent to approve the amendments on the advice of
their external auditors to ensure that RCPS actual expenditures did not exceed
budgeted expenditures.
The Food Service Fund increase is a result of new nutritional standards,
increased food quality requirements and rising food prices.
The increase in expenditures is expected to be primarily funded by Fund
Balance.
Recommended Action
Hold a public hearing on the adoption of the amendment to the Roanoke City
Public Schools 2012-13 Categorical Budget.
Adopt the accompanying budget ordinance to increase expenditures and the
use of fund balance of the School General and Food Service Funds and increase
revenue and expenditures of the School Athletics Fund.

tl
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Meeting: August 19, 2013
Subject: Authorize the Sale and Conveyance of City-Owned Property Located
at 515 8" Street, S.W., Roanoke, Virginia
Background:
Edward B. Walker (Purchaser) has made a proposal to acquire the City-owned
parcel located at 515 8th Street, S.W., Roanoke, Virginia (Tax Map Number
11131 11 ), the former Health Department facility, which is a strategic location in
the City's community development target area. Purchaser proposes to renovate
the existing building resulting in approximately 20,000 square feet of
commercial, office, business, and/or residential uses, the specific composition,
allocation, and arrangement of which will be determined by the Purchaser
(Project).
The proposal includes a purchase price of $10, together with certain
obligations to be completed by the Purchaser in exchange for the nominal
purchase price. These obligations include: initiation of substantial renovation
work on the Project within seven hundred thirty (730) days after Closing, with
substantial completion of all work within three hundred sixty five (365) days
after such work is initiated. "Substantial renovation work" includes Purchaser
having hired a contractor or contractors to construct and complete the Project
and that such contractor(s) has obtained the required building permits and
licenses and is actively working full time on the Project and will continue to do
so, without interruption, until the Project is completed. In the event that
Purchaser fails to complete such obligations, Purchaser shall pay One Hundred
Forty Thousand Dollars ($140,000) to the City.
City staff marketed the property extensively during the summer and fall of
2012. These efforts included a planning workshop held at the Kirk Family YMCA
on June 7, 2012, as well as an open house held on site on November 1 , 2012.
In addition, staff also made a public notification of availability in the form of a
sign posted prominently on the property and by advertising on the Department
of Economic Development website, both for sixty days from October to
December 2012. These efforts yielded no viable offers.
A contract has been negotiated for the sale of the property to the Purchaser
under certain terms, conditions and performance obligations both prior to, and
subsequent to, the real estate closing. A public hearing is required prior to City
Council authorizing the execution of the contract for the conveyance of the
City-owned property to the Purchaser. A copy of the draft contract is attached
to this Report.
The sale of the property and resulting rehabilitation of the building as proposed
will not only return the property to the real estate tax rolls, but may also further
expand downtown housing opportunities. Such sale further supports the City's

4" CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Meeting: August 19, 2013
Subject Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of a Resolution
Authorizing the Participation of the City of Roanoke in the
Creation of the Roanoke Valley Broadband Authority
Background:
In June 2012 the Roanoke Valley Fiber/Broadband Task Force composed of local
government and private sector members was formed to develop a specific plan
to implement the recommendations of the Roanoke Valley Region broadband
analysis completed in April 2012. A list of Task Force recommendations was
presented to the governing bodies of the participating jurisdictions on February
6, 2013. One of the major recommendations was: "Identify the benefits and
process of creating a more formal broadband committee structure or
broadband authority to create and assist with policy development,
infrastructure development, partnership agreements, and asset ownership."
Administrative and legal staffs from the participating local governments (cities
of Roanoke and Salem, and counties of Roanoke and Botetourt) have been
working with the Task Force and the Roanoke Valley-Alleghany Regional
Commission to develop the documents required to create a broadband
authority. The requirements for creating a broadband authority are contained
in the Virginia Wireless Services Authorities Act (Chapter 54.1 , Title 1 5.2 of the
Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, Sections 15.2-5431 .1 through 15.2-
5431 .37 [the Act.]). The Act requires the governing body of each participating
locality to hold a public hearing before adopting a resolution to create the
authority. The required 30 day notice of public hearing was printed in the
Roanoke Times on July 18, 2013.
Considerations:
The attached resolution creates the Roanoke Valley Broadband Authority (the
"Authority"), designates the initial members and their terms of office, identifies
the Authority's purpose and powers, and provides procedures for a member to
withdraw or for the Authority to be dissolved. Each member local government
will have one representative and there will be one citizen member in compliance
with the state requirement for the Authority Board to have a total of five
members. The other participating jurisdictions have scheduled action on the
resolution as follows: Salem--August 26, Botetourt County--August 27, and
Roanoke County--August 27. After all four jurisdictions have approved the
resolution, it will be filed with the State Corporation Commission who will issue
a certificate of incorporation. The Authority will then be authorized to conduct
its first meeting.
Funding for broadband has been identified in the City's five year Capital
Improvement Program.
Recommended Actions:
Conduct a public hearing and adopt the attached resolution authorizing the
participation of the City of Roanoke in the Creation of the Roanoke Valley
Broadband Authority.

Good evening Mayor Bowers, Council members and all assembled, my name is Jordan Bell. I
grew up in the Northwest part of Roanoke and currently reside in this areatIn my opinion this is
the nicest and best neighborhoo in RoanokeeTonight I would like to address you regarding the
Harrison Museum. of AINcun S °!n
Anent,. G.1d+..f, 1,e,/4- 341
History is not everything, but it is a starting point. History is a clock that people use to tell their
t.political and cultural time of day. It is a compass they use to find themselves on the map of
human geography. It tells them where they are but, more importantly, what they must be.... Dr.
John Henry Clarke.
As I travel through Roanoke mainly in the downtown area I have noticed there is absolutely no
African American Culture or events going on in the city of Roanoke other than the Henry Street
Festival and the Harrison Museum. I am here tonight to ask council for more support for the
Harrison Museum, which is located in the Center in the Square. I am asking for financial support
and advertisement for the Harrison Museum. I don't know how much the city supports this
beautiful museum financially but I do know the city doesn't support it on the broadcast level in
their local commercials like they do other things in Roanoke.
I am here tonight in support of this museum because everybody must know their history and
culture and what better way to help the young and old to continue to gain knowledge of their
history through the Harrison Museum. What better way to enhance the African American
Community especially our youth. It is my belief if our youth had something visible that
embraced their history at a deeper level we will be a better persea.
people
We as African Americans have a rich history, a noble history and that history should be
embraced by a city that has a large population of Africans and African Americans.
Thank you for ar time.
