The Board of Zoning Appeals held eleven (11) regular public hearings, during which there were two (2)variance requests, eighteen (18)special exception (use) requests, and no appeals of Zoning Administrator's decision. In the current year, the Board of Zoning Appeals'goals are: first, continue to serve the citizens and developers of the community in furthering the use, development, and redevelopment of property through variances and special exceptions; second, to continue to act as a discretionary administrative body and make decisions in matters where a person or party within the community is aggrieved by a decision made in the administration or enforcement of the zoning ordinance; and lastly, to recommend to the Planning Commission and City Council necessary revisions to the Zoning Ordinance in order for the Board to continue to provide fair and equitable service to the community and its citizens. The Board continues to work with the City Attorney's Office to assure that our procedures promote a concise and fair process. On behalf of all the Board members, I would like to express our appreciation for Council's ongoing efforts to improve the effectiveness of the Board of Zoning Appeals through funding for the training and certification of the Board members.

Membership of the Board The Board of Zoning Appeals shall consist of seven members, appointed for a term of three years and removable for just cause by City Council, upon written charges and after a public hearing. Vacancies shall be filled for the unexpired term of any member whose term becomes vacant. Members may be reappointed and may serve up to three consecutive, three-year terms. Powers of the Board The Board is appointed by City Council to act as a discretionary administrative body to hear and decide appeals where it is alleged there is error in any order, requirement, decision, or determination made by administrative officials in the enforcement of the zoning ordinance adopted pursuant thereto. The Board is charged with the responsibility to hear, decide and authorize special exceptions to the terms of the zoning ordinance based upon certain criteria and findings as specified in the ordinance; and to hear, decide, and authorize, upon appeal in specific cases, a variance from the terms of the zoning ordinance that would not be contrary to the public interest where a literal enforcement of the provisions of such ordinance would result in unnecessary hardship, provided in all cases, the spirit of the ordinance shall be observed and substantial justice done.

AN ORDINANCE to appropriate federal asset forfeiture funds from the Department of Justice (DOJ) for the replacement of the case management system for the Commonwealth Attorney's Office, amending and reordaining certain sections of the 2014-2015 General Fund Appropriations, and dispensing with the second reading by title of this ordinance. BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the City of Roanoke that the following sections of the 2014-2015 General Fund Appropriations be, and the same are hereby, amended and reordained to read and provide as follows: Appropriations Case Management System 01-150-2210-4011 $13,487 Revenues Dedicated DOJ Asset Forfeiture Fund 01-110-1234-0728 $13,487 Pursuant to the provisions of Section 12 of the City Charter, the second reading of this ordinance by title is hereby dispensed with. ATTEST: Cif Jerk. e • -46-- . CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT x ; ay.a . To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Meeting: March 2, 2015 Subject: Allocation of Federal Department of Justice Asset Forfeiture Funds to the Commonwealth Attorney's Office Background/Considerations: The Department of Justice (DOJ) has made federal asset forfeiture funds available to various localities through the office of the Commonwealth's Attorney. The use of these funds is very restricted. One approved use of these funds is to upgrade or replace a locality's case management system. The City of Roanoke Commonwealth Attorney's office is a recipient of this funding and is already working towards replacing the existing case management system. The cost of the new case management system is estimated at $100,000. To date, the Commonwealth Attorney's office has received $3,487 and expects to receive additional funding of approximately $10,000 for a total of $13,487. The federal asset forfeiture funds will be used to offset a portion of the cost of the replacement system. Council is requested to appropriate such funds within the restrictions as required by the DOJ. Recommended Action: Authorize the acceptance of the federal asset forfeiture funds and adopt the accompanying budget ordinance establishing a revenue estimate in the amount of $13,487 and appropriate funding in the same amount into accounts to be established by the Director of Finance.

General Fund FY15 year-to-date revenues increased 4.1% or $4.4 million compared to the same period in FY14. The increase was primarily due to higher General Property, Sales, Meals and Transient Occupancy tax revenues. Also contributing were increased reimbursements from the Commonwealth for Street Maintenance and the timing of Jail Per Diem payments. The increase was partially offset by the reinstatement of Local Aid to the Commonwealth and a refund of prior year's bank stock fees to Bank of America. In comparison, the budgeted increase was 0.2% when comparing the FY15 adopted budget against the FY14 adjusted final results. Year-to-date general fund revenue recognized was 42.5% of FY15 estimated revenue. However, significant tax revenue, such as personal property, business license and the second half of real estate tax revenues have not yet been received. Year-to-date expenditures in FY15 increased 1 .5% or $2.4 million compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to timing of expenditures. It is expected that expenditures will perform within the current budget level. Stormwater Utility Fund FY15 is the first year of operations for the Stormwater Utility Fund. Stormwater fee revenue year-to-date as of January 31 , 2015 was $993,000, or 58.4% of FY15 anticipated revenues, which was slightly ahead of target. Operating expense was $1 ,066,000, or 38.9% of the expenditure budget resulting in an operating loss of $73,000. Net position after transfers and contributions was approximately $419,000. Civic Center Fund FY15 year-to-date net change in position was a loss of $341 ,000 compared to the budgeted loss of $512,000. The year-to-date operating revenue through January was $1 .3 million lower than the budgeted revenues primarily due to lower than expected ticket revenue as a result of the timing and type of events. Correspondingly, operating expense was $1 .4 million lower than budgeted. The operating loss was approximately $117,000 less than the fiscal year to date budgeted operating loss. Parking Fund Through January, approximately 63.0% of anticipated revenue has been realized. Market Garage revenues declined due to the impact of construction of the Hampton Inn & Suites project. Gainsboro Garage revenues significantly decreased following the reopening of the Poff Federal Building and the relocation of tenants back to the building. Elmwood, Tower, and Church Avenue Garages outperformed the prior fiscal year. Operating expenses decreased 3.5% or $37,000. Operating income, before the net decrease of non-operating expenses and transfers, was approximately $333,000. After non-operating expenses and transfers, the fund's change in net position was approximately $162,000. Roanoke City Public Schools Financial performance on Roanoke City Public Schools is reported to City Council on a quarterly basis. These results are reported on a one-month lag compared to City results based on the timing of School Board and City Council meetings. Accordingly, this report includes results through September. The School General Fund results as presented in this report correspond with results reported to the School Board on February 10, 2015. Revenues: School Fund revenues increased 7.9% or $5.4 million compared to FY14. State Revenue increased 11 .3% or $2.6 million due to an increase in basic aid and special education funding from the state. State Sales Tax increased 11 .4% or $693,000 due to an increase in retail sales. Other Revenue increased 94.9% or $1 .4 million mainly due to insurance recoveries received in fiscal year 201 5 for stop loss claims. There were no reimbursements in fiscal year 2014. 2 Expenditures: School Fund expenditures increased 7.5% or $5.7 million compared to FY14. Instruction expenditures increased 16.2% or $7.5 million primarily related to increased salary and benefit costs. Administration, Attendance and Health expenditures show a decrease of 26.5% or $1 .9 million from FY 2014 to FY 201 5. The prior year financial report included encumbered salaries. However, encumbrances were excluded on the current year report, creating a decrease. Financial reports are commonly prepared using year to date actual amounts. Closing The City's unemployment rate as of December was 5.2%, compared to the U.S. unemployment rate of 5.6%. Despite sluggish U.S. consumer spending in January as households cut back on purchases, it is expected that lower gasoline prices and robust employment gains will provide a powerful stimulus to consumer spending and keep the economy on an expansion path for the year of 2015. The City's general and local tax revenues increased 3.7% in FY15 compared to the same period last year. The reinstated payment of Local Aid to the Commonwealth and a partial refund of prior year's bank stock fees to Bank of America in FY15 reduced current year revenues. The City's financial performance will continue to be carefully monitored by the various departments which are involved with oversight of the City's budgeting and financial processes. Please contact me with any questions you have on these financial statements. Sincerely, Barbara A. Dameron Director of Finance Attachments c: Christopher P. Morrill, City Manager Daniel J.

Sincerely, Stephanie M. Moon Reynolds, MMC City Clerk pc: Daniel J. Callaghan, City Attorney Steven Buschor, Director, Parks and Recreation Ian Shaw, Agent, City Planning Commission Tina Carr, Secretary, City Planning Commission ITEM 11 (other matters) City Council Agenda for Monday, March 2, 2015, at 2:00pm Vacation and release of public rights to maintain and operate Crystal Spring Park (the "Park") on a portion 6f al property owned by the Western Virginia Water Authority (the "Authority"), situated at 2012 Jefferson Street, S.E., designated as Official Tax Map No. 4060502 (the "Authority Property"). The Park is generally situated in the northwesterly corner of the Authority Property. The City has operated the Park for several years. In 2004, the City transferred the Authority Property to the Authority and reserved the right to continue to maintain and operate the Park on the Authority Property. Carilion Services, Inc. ("Carilion") has entered into an agreement with the Authority to purchase a portion of the Authority Property (the "Carilion Parcel"). Carilion proposes to develop the Carilion Parcel. A substantial portion of the Park is situated on the Carilion Parcel. The remaining portion of the Park is located on other portions of the Authority Property. In order for the development proposed by Carilion to proceed, the City must release its rights to maintain and operate the Park on the Authority Property. We first presented the issue of releasing and vacating the Park in discussions in October, 2014, with regard to the Option Agreement between the City and Carilion Services, Inc. The Park is identified as a part of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Pursuant to Section 15.2-2232 C. of State Code, before the City can vacate the public use of public areas, such as the Park, the City must submit a request to the Planning Commission to vacate and release the rights of the City to maintain and operate, and the right of the public to use, the Park at the Authority Property. The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing in accordance with Section 15.2- 2204 of State Code and, after public hearing, make a recommendation to City Council. City Council will hold a public hearing on the matter and then decide whether to release and vacate the right of the City to maintain and operate, and the right of the public to use, the Park. City Council must authorize the City Manager to submit this request to the Planning Commission to initiate this process. MOTION: That the City Manager be authorized to submit the appropriate request to the Planning Commission to release and vacate the right of the City to maintain and operate, the right of the public to use, the Park, and execute such other documents and take such other actions as are necessary to effectuate, implement, and administer the request to vacate and release of the City's right to maintain and operate, and the right of the public to use, the Park in accordance with applicable law. 1 STATEMENT OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST I DD,i ' e. 2z.
