To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Meeting: October 3, 2016
Subject: Public Hearing on the Proposed Issuance by the City of
Roanoke of its General Obligation Bond for a Project with the
Western Virginia Regional Industrial Facility Authority
Background:
In 2013, pursuant to the Virginia Regional Industrial Facilities Act, Chapter 64
of Title 15.2 of the Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended (the "Act'), the
governing bodies of Botetourt County, Franklin County, Roanoke County, City of
Roanoke, City of Salem, and Town of Vinton (the "Member Localities') each
adopted an ordinance for the creation of the Western Virginia Regional
Industrial Facility Authority (the "Authority') in order to enhance the economic
base of each such locality through the developing, owning, and operating of
one or more facilities on a cooperative basis.
The Act authorizes the Authority to borrow money to pay the costs of real
estate and facilities for manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, office, or
other commercial purposes in order to promote economic development in the
geographical area served by the Authority; to accept funds from counties, cities,
and towns, and use the same for Authority purposes; and to enter into
contracts of any kind to accomplish the purposes of the Authority.
In order to further the purposes of the Act, the Authority proposes to undertake
the financing of land acquisition located in Roanoke County roughly bounded
by and in the vicinity of Interstate 81 and wood Haven Road, and related
improvements and facilities, including necessary expenses incidental thereto
(collectively, the "Project'), and to obtain the funds therefor by the issuance of
the Authority Revenue Bond, Series 2016, in the maximum principal amount of
$10,000,000 (the "Authority Bond').
The City of Roanoke (the "City'), the County of Roanoke, and the City of Salem
(together with the City, collectively the "Participants" and each individually,
including the City, a "Participant') agree with the need for the Project and that
the Project will facilitate the development of real estate and facilities as
described above and promote commerce and the prosperity of the citizens in
the geographical area served by the Authority. The Participants propose to
enter into the attached Participation Agreement with the Authority to establish
the administrative details for the Project including the percentage share of all
financial obligations and the sharing of future tax revenues generated by the
Project.
Considerations
The Authority Bond will be secured by a pledge of the revenues and receipts
received by the Authority from payments made by the City pursuant to the
attached Support Agreement and payments made by the other Participants
pursuant to separate agreements between the Authority and the other
Participants, such payments from the City to constitute 44.2% of the amounts
due under the terms of the Authority Bond. The maximum principal amount of
the City's obligation will not exceed $5,000,000. All such payments from the
Participants, including the City, will be assigned from the Authority to Union
Bank & Trust (the "Bank ") for the payment of debt service on the Authority Bond
pursuant to an Assignment Agreement between the Authority and the Bank,
dated as of October 11, 2016 (the "Assignment Agreement ").
Copies of the Authority Bond, Bond Purchase and Loan Agreement, the Support
Agreement, the Assignment Agreement, and the Participation Agreement are
attached to this Report.
The City's obligation to make the City of Roanoke portion of support payments
(such obligation is hereinafter referred to as the "City's Support Payment ") will
be secured by the full faith and credit of the City, and as such, the City's
Support Payment will be a "general obligation bond" within the meaning of the
Public Finance Act of 1991 (the "Public Finance Act "), Section 15.2 -2600 et. seq.
of the Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended.
The Public Finance Act requires that the City conduct a public hearing prior to
pledging the full faith and credit of the City for a general obligation bond.
Recommended Action:
Absent comments at the public hearing to the contrary, approve: (1) the
attached Resolution authorizing the Mayor or Vice Mayor, or either of them, and
the City Manager to execute the Support Agreement and Assignment
Agreement, substantially similar to the documents attached to this Agenda
Report; and take such actions and execute such other documents and to take
such further actions as may be necessary for the Authority to issue the
Authority Bond and otherwise carry out the intent of the Resolution; and (2) the
attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager and City Clerk to execute and
attest, respectively, in a form substantially similar to the one attached to this
Agenda Report, a Participation Agreement and to take such actions and execute
such documents as necessary to implement, administer, and enforce such
Participation Agreement.
All documents are subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney.

Revenue Bond shall be a limited obligation of the Authority payable solely from the revenues
and receipts derived by the Authority under the Basic Agreements in accordance with the terms
thereof, and shall not constitute a debt or pledge of the faith and credit of the Commonwealth of
Virginia or any political subdivision thereof. Failure of any one Participant to make a payment,
to appropriate funds or to fulfill any obligation of such Participant under a Support Agreement or
the Roanoke County Lease Agreement, as applicable, shall not constitute a default or breach of

remedy against any other Participant.
THE BANK UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT THE UNDERTAKING BY ROANOKE
COUNTY TO MAKE THE PAYMENTS UNDER THE ROANOKE COUNTY SUPPORT

CONSTITUTE A DEBT OF ROANOKE COUNTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY
CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY LIMITATION AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A

PAYMENTS.
THE BANK FURTHER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT THE AUTHORITY HAS

Bond on a timely basis as a general obligation of the City to the Authority; and
(f) an Assignment Agreement, dated as of October 11, 2016 (the
"Assignment Agreement'), between the Authority and the Bank, assigning certain of
the Authority's rights under the City of Support Agreement to the Bank as
security for, and for payment of, the Authority Revenue Bond, which Assignment
Agreement is acknowledged and consented to by the City.
In all such examinations, I have assumed that all signatures on documents and
instruments examined by me are genuine, all documents submitted to me as originals are
authentic and all documents submitted to me as copies conform to the originals. In addition, for
purposes of this opinion, I have assumed the due authorization, execution and delivery of the
above documents by all parties other than the City. I have also examined such other records,
agreements and proceedings of the City and conducted such investigations as I have deemed
appropriate and necessary for purposes of this opinion. As to questions of fact material to my
opinion, I have relied upon representations of the City contained in the Basic Agreements, as
defined below and certifications by representatives of the City and the Authority.
Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

validly existing under the Constitution and laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and vested
with all the rights, powers and privileges conferred upon cities by the Constitution and laws of
the Commonwealth.
2. The City Resolution was duly adopted by the City Council and is in full force and
effect

obligations under the City of Support Agreement and the Assignment Agreement

performed by the City under the City Documents and under the Bond Purchase and Loan
Agreement.
4. The City Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered or
acknowledged and consented to, as applicable, by the City, and constitute valid and binding
obligations of the City enforceable against the City in accordance with their terms; except to the
extent that their enforceability may be limited to or otherwise affected by (a) bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium and other laws affecting the rights of
creditors and debtors generally and (b) principles of equity, whether considered at law or in
equity.
5. The adoption by the City Council of the City Resolution and the execution and
delivery by the City of the City Documents and the consummation by the City of the transactions
contemplated to be performed by the City under the City Documents and the Bond Purchase and
M
Loan Agreement are not prohibited by, and do not violate any provision of and will not result in
the breach of any law, rule, regulation, judgment, decree, order or other requirement applicable
to the City, the Charter, any ordinance or resolution of the City, or any material contract,
indenture or agreement to which the City is a party or by which the City is bound, and have not
resulted, and will not result, in the creation or imposition of any lien, encumbrance, mortgage or
other similar conflicting ownership or security interest in favor of any third person in or to the
City's revenues, assets, properties or funds except as contemplated in the City Documents.
6. There is no litigation pending or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened against
the City (a) to restrain or enjoin the issuance, sale or delivery of the Authority Revenue Bond, or
the application of proceeds of the Authority Revenue Bond as provided in the City Documents or
the collection of revenues pledged under the City of Support Agreement, (b) in any way
contesting or affecting any authority for the validity of the City Documents, (c) adversely
affecting the financial condition of the City in any material way, or (d) affecting the acquisition,
construction or equipping of the Project (as defined in the Bond Purchase and Loan Agreement).
7. No further governmental or regulatory consents, approvals, orders or
authorizations by the City are required for the adoption of the City Resolution or the execution
and delivery by the City of the City Documents or for the consummation by the City of the
actions contemplated to be performed by the City under the City Documents and the Bond
Purchase and Loan Agreement.

amended (the "Charter ");
(c) a certified copies of an Ordinance adopted by the Board of Supervisors of
the County (the "Board of Supervisors ") on , 2016 authorizing, among
other things, the execution and delivery of the Basic Agreements (as hereinafter defined)
(the "County Ordinance ");
(d) a copy of the Bond Purchase and Loan Agreement, dated October 11,

in such Leased Property;
(g) a Support Agreement, dated as of October 11, 2016 (the "County
Support Agreement'), between the County and the Authority, pursuant to which the

the Authority's rights under the County Support Agreement, the Ground Lease and the
Lease Agreement to the Bank as security for, and for payment of, the Authority Revenue
Bond, which Assignment Agreement is acknowledged and consented to by the County.
In all such examinations, 1 have assumed that all signatures- on documents and
instmments examined by me are genuine, all documents submitted to me as originals are
authentic and all documents submitted to me as copies conform to the originals. In addition, for
purposes of this opinion, I have assumed the due authorization, execution and delivery of the
above documents by all parties other than the County. I have also examined such other records,
agreements and proceedings of the County and conducted such investigations as I have deemed
appropriate and necessary for purposes of this opinion. As to questions of fact material to my
opinion, I have relied upon representations of the County contained in the Basic Agreements, as
defined below and certifications by representatives of the County and the Authority.
Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that
I. The County is a political subdivision and validly existing under the Constitution
and laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and vested with all the rights, powers and privileges
conferred upon cities by the Constitution and laws of the Commonwealth.
2. The County Ordinance was duly adopted by the Board of Supervisors and is in
full force and effect.
3. The County has all necessary power and authority to enter into and perform its
obligations under the Ground Lease, the Lease Agreement, the County Support Agreement and
the Assignment Agreement (collectively, the "County Documents ") and carry out the
transactions contemplated to be performed by the County under the County Documents and the
Bond Purchase and Loan Agreement.
4. The County Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered or
acknowledged and consented to, as applicable, by the County, and constitute valid and binding
obligations of the County enforceable against the County in accordance with their terms; except
to the extent that their enforceability may be limited to or otherwise affected by (a) bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium and other laws affecting the rights of
C -2
creditors and debtors generally and (b) principles of equity, whether considered at law or in
equity. The County's undertaking to make payments of Basic Payments and Additional
Payments under the County Support Agreement and lease payments under the Lease Agreement
is subject to and dependent upon the Board of Supervisors making appropriations in amounts
sufficient for such purpose. Such undertaking does not constitute a debt of the County within the
meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation nor a liability of or a lien or charge upon
funds or property of the County beyond any fiscal year for which the Board of Supervisors has
appropriated moneys for such purpose.
5. The adoption by the Board of Supervisors of the County Ordinance and the
execution and delivery by the County of the County Documents and the consummation by the
County of the transactions contemplated to be performed by the County under the County
Documents and the Bond Purchase and Loan Agreement are not prohibited by, and do not violate
any provision of and will not result in the breach of any law, rule, regulation, judgment, decree,
order or other requirement applicable to the County, any ordinance or resolution of the County,
or any material contract, indenture or agreement to which the County is a party or by which the
County is bound, and have not resulted, and will not result, in the creation or imposition of any
lien, encumbrance, mortgage or other similar conflicting ownership or security interest in favor
of any third person in or to the County's revenues, assets, properties or funds except as
contemplated in the County Documents,
6. There is no litigation pending or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened against
the County (a) to restrain or enjoin the issuance, sale or delivery of the Authority Revenue Bond,
or the application of proceeds of the Authority Revenue Bond as provided in the County
Documents or the collection of revenues pledged under the Support Agreement and the Lease
Agreement, (b) in any way contesting or affecting any authority for the issuance or validity of
the Authority Revenue Bond or the validity of the County Documents, (e) affecting the
application of proceeds of the Authority Revenue Bond pursuant to the County Documents, (d)
adversely affecting the financial condition of the County in any material way, or (e) affecting the
acquisition, construction or equipping of the Project (as defined in the Bond Purchase and Loan
Agreement).
Z No further governmental or regulatory consents, approvals, orders or
authorizations by the County are required for the adoption of the County Ordinance or the
execution and delivery by the County of the County Documents or for the consummation by the
County of the actions contemplated to be performed by the County under the County Documents
and the Bond Purchase and Loan Agreement.
Very truly yours,

following documents:
(a) the Virginia Regional Industrial Facilities Act, Chapter 64, Title 15.2, Code of

(b) a certified copy of a resolution adopted by the Authority on September 15, 2016
(the "Resolution'), authorizing the issuance of the Authority Revenue Bond and the execution

the City of Salem has agreed to make certain payments to the Authority; and
(7) an Assignment Agreement, dated as of October 11, 2016 (the
"Assignment Agreement "), between the Authority and the Bank, assigning certain of
the Authority's rights under the Roanoke County Support Agreement, the City of
Roanoke Support Agreement, the City of Salem Support Agreement, the Ground Lease
and the Lease Agreement to the Bank as security for, and for payment of, the Authority
Revenue Bond; and
(c) executed counterparts of the documents described in (b) above (collectively, the
"Basic Agreements "); and
(d) such other documents, records, agreements and certificates of the Authority and
other parties, including a copy of a Certificate of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Virginia
dated February 4, 2014, as we deem necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinions
expressed below.
In all such examinations, we have assumed that all signatures on documents and
instruments examined by us are genuine, all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic
and all documents submitted to us as copies conform to the originals. In addition, for purposes
of this opinion we have assumed, without independent investigation or verification, the due
authorization, execution and delivery of the Basic Agreements by all parties other than the
Authority. As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon representations
of and the compliance with covenants by the Authority contained in the Basic Agreements,
certifications and representations of public officials furnished to us, and certifications and
representations of the Authority and others delivered at closing. Wherever in this letter an
opinion is qualified by the phrase "to the best of our knowledge" or "we have no knowledge of
or words of like import, it shall mean that we have no actual knowledge of the matter or matters
so qualified and that no such knowledge has come to us during the course of our representation
D -2
of the Authority in connection with this transaction, but that we have conducted no independent
investigation of such matter or matters or otherwise sought verification thereof, except as may be
expressly set forth herein.
Based on and subject to the foregoing, and upon such other information and documents
as we consider necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Authority is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
Act and has all necessary power and authority to (i) issue and sell the Authority Revenue Bond
and (it) enter into and perform its obligations under the Basic Agreements. The Authority has
taken all necessary action required of the Authority and has complied with all provisions of the
Act required of the Authority to duly authorize the issuance and sale of the Authority Revenue
Bond.
2. The Resolution has been duly adopted by the Authority and is in full force and
effect on the date hereof.
3. The Basic Agreements have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Authority and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties
thereto, are valid and binding obligations of the Authority, enforceable against the Authority in
accordance with their respective terms.
4. The Authority Revenue Bond has been duly authorized, executed and issued by
the Authority and constitutes a valid and binding limited obligation of the Authority, enforceable
in accordance with its terms.
5. The enforceability of the obligations of the Authority under the documents
described above is subject to the provisions of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws. The enforceability of such obligations is also
subject to usual equity principles, which may limit the specific enforcement of certain remedies,
and any indemnity provisions in the Basic Agreements may be limited by court decisions
invalidating or limiting such provisions on grounds including public policy.
6. To the best of our knowledge, no suit, action, proceeding or investigation is
pending or threatened against the Authority, before any court or government department,
commission, board, agency or instrumentality which, if determined adversely, could have a
material adverse effect on (i) the title of the officers of the Authority executing the Authority
Revenue Bond or the Basic Agreements, (ii) the validity or enforceability of the Authority
Revenue Bond or the Basic Agreements, (iii) the authority to execute the Basic Agreements or
the Authority Revenue Bond by the Authority or (iv) the proceedings relating to the execution of
the Authority Revenue Bond and the Basic Agreements by the Authority.
Our opinion expressed herein is for your benefit alone and may not, without our prior
written consent, be relied upon any other person, quoted in any document or filed with any
government agency. We express no opinion herein as to the business or financial resources of
the Authority or of the City of Roanoke, Roanoke County or the City of Salem or their ability or
willingness to provide for the payment of the Authority Revenue Bond as set forth in the
Roanoke County Support Agreement, the Lease Agreement, the City of Roanoke Support
D -3
Agreement or the City of Salem Support Agreement, respectively, as to any matters of real estate
title or liens or as to the accuracy or completeness of any information relating to the Authority
Revenue Bond that may have been relied upon by anyone in making the decision to purchase the
Authority Revenue Bond. Our opinion is expressed as of the date hereof, and we do not assume
any obligation to update or supplement our opinion to reflect any fact or circumstance which
hereafter comes to our attention or change in law which hereafter occurs.
Very truly yours,

Agreement, including its obligations to pay all Basic Payments and Additional Payments, shall
be a general obligation of the City to which the full faith and credit of the City are irrevocably
pledged and constitute obligations of a locality for the payment of money and for the payment of
which the locality is required to levy ad valorem taxes as set forth in Section 15.2 -2602 of the
Public Finance Act, and the Bank is the holder thereof in accordance with the Assignment
Agreement. The Council is authorized to and shall levy and collect annually at the same time
and in the same manner as other taxes of the City are assessed, levied and 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 payments under this
City Support Agreement to the extent other funds of the City are not lawfully available and
appropriated for such purpose.
The City Manager or other officer charged with the responsibility for preparing the City's
Annual Budget shall include in the budget for each Fiscal Year as a single appropriation the
amount of all Basic Payments and estimated Additional Payments coming due during such Fiscal
Year. Throughout the tern of this Support Agreement, the City Manager or other officer
charged with the responsibility for preparing the City's Annual Budget shall deliver to the Bank
and the Authority within 30 days after the adoption of the Annual Budget for each Fiscal Year,
but not later than the beginning of each Fiscal Year, a certificate stating whether an amount equal
to the Basic Payments and Additional Payments which will come due during such Fiscal Year
has been appropriated by the Council in such budget. If any adopted Annual Budget does not
include an appropriation of funds sufficient to pay both Basic Payments and estimated
Additional Payments coming due for the relevant Fiscal Year, the Council shall take a roll call
vote immediately after adoption of such Annual Budget acknowledging the impact of its failure
to appropriate such funds. If, by the beginning of the Fiscal Year, the Council has not
appropriated funds for the payment of both Basic Payments and estimated Additional Payments
coming due for the then current Fiscal Year, the City Manager or other officer charged with the
responsibility for preparing the City's Annual Budget shall give written notice to the Council of
the consequences of such failure to appropriate, and request the Council to consider a
supplemental appropriation for such purposes.
If at any time the Basic Payments as determined pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(2) are
insufficient to make forty four and two tenths percent (44.2 %) of the payments of principal and
interest due on the Authority Revenue Bond in a timely manner, the Authority (or the Bank as
assignee of the Authority) shall notify the City Manager (or other officer charged with the
:111„11 -7-
responsibility for preparing the City's Annual Budget) of the amount of such insufficiency, and
the City Manager shall submit to the Council at its next regularly scheduled meeting or as
promptly as practicable, but in any event within 45 days, a request for a supplemental
appropriation in the amount necessary to cover such insufficiency.

pertaining to the issuance of the Authority Revenue Bond.

security interest in the City of Roanoke Support Payments, the Roanoke County Support
Payments or the City of Salem Support Payments for any indebtedness or other obligation of any
person. The Assignor waives any right, legal or equitable, now existing or hereafter arising, to
offset against, attach, levy upon, enjoin or otherwise delay or disrupt any City of Roanoke
Support Payments, Roanoke County Support Payments or City of Salem Support Payments that
may be owing to the Assignee on account of any claim or obligation between the Assignor and
the Assignee or any of the Participants.
Assignee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation or duty to be
performed or discharged by Assignor under any of the Support Agreements or Roanoke County
Lease Agreements hereby assigned.
Assignor covenants and represents that, except as contemplated by the City Documents or
the County Documents, as defined in each of the Support Agreements, as applicable, no other
assignment of any interest in the Support Agreements or the Roanoke County Lease Agreements
hereby assigned has been made, and that, except as provided for in the Support Agreements and
the Roanoke County Lease Agreements, the Assignor will not hereafter amend, alter, modify,
cancel, surrender or terminate any of the Support Agreements or Roanoke County Lease
Agreements, exercise any option which might lead to any such amendment, alteration,
modification, cancellation, surrender or termination or consent to the release of any party liable
thereunder or to the assignment of the interest of any Holder, any lessee or sublessee of the
Leased Property or to any subletting of the Leased Property without the prior written consent of
Assignee.
Assignor hereby authorizes Assignee to give notice in writing of this Assignment at any
time to any lessee or sublessee under any of the leases hereby assigned.
The full performance of the Authority Revenue Bond and the City Documents and the
County Documents, as defined in each of the Support Agreements, as applicable, according to
their terms shall render this Assignment void.
The net proceeds collected by Assignee under the terms of this instrument shall be
applied in reduction of the entire indebtedness under the Authority Revenue Bond from time to
time outstanding.
This Assignment applies to and binds the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
administrators, executors, successors and assigns.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Assignment to the contrary, all of the
obligations of the Assignor hereunder shall be nonrecourse obligations, and the owner of the
Authority Revenue Bond and the Assignee shall look solely to Assignor's interest in the Support
Agreements and the Roanoke County Lease Agreements for the satisfaction of any and all
remedies it may have against the Assignor upon a default or nonpayment under one or more of
the City Documents or County Documents, as defined in each of the Support Agreements, as
applicable. Neither the owner of the Authority Revenue Bond nor the Assignee shall enforce or
attempt to enforce any deficiency or other personal money judgment against the Assignor with
respect to the obligations of the Assignee under the Authority Revenue Bond and the Basic
Documents, as defined in each of the Support Agreements.
This Assignment Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in
accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The Basic Documents, as defined in each of the Support Agreements, and the Authority
Revenue Bond express the entire understanding and all agreements between all the parties thereto
and may not be modified except in writing signed by the parties.
This Assignment Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which shall be an original, together shall constitute but one and the same Assignment Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in order to carry out the purposes for which the Authority was

hereto do hereby agree as follows:
Final Draft: 09.15.2016
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Project may include the following on or near the Project site: (i) acquisition and
disposition by the Authority of interests in Project real estate, (ii) promotion of the Project site
for economic development purposes, (iii) grading all or a portion of the Project site, (iv)
improving, replacing and extending water, sewer, natural gas, electrical and other utility
facilities, (v) construction, rehabilitating and expanding buildings, (vi) construction of parking

consistent with developing the Project for economic development purposes.
II
PROJECT UNDERTAKEN IN THE NAME OF THE AUTHORITY
The acquisition and development of the Project shall be undertaken in the name of the
Authority and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Authority, shall own, hold, develop,
lease, use, sell, encumber, transfer, and dispose of any real or personal property comprising part
or all of the Project, provided, however, that the Authority agrees not to take any action related to
the financing, development and operation of the Project without the unanimous consent of all of
the Participants as reflected by action of the Committee (as defined below) and the Authority
further agrees that it will not lease, use, sell, encumber, transfer or dispose of any real or personal
property comprising part or all of the Project or take any action or perform any function related
to the Project or any portion thereof without the unanimous consent of all of the Participants as
reflected by action of the Committee.
III
PROJECT PARTICIPATION COMMITTEE
The Participants shall establish a participation committee for the Project (the
"Committee ") that shall consist of the respective County Administrator or City Manager of
each Participant, or the respective designee of each such chief administrative officer. The
Committee shall oversee the development and management of the Project. The Committee shall
organize and may adopt bylaws and other organizational documents to designate its procedures
and responsibilities. Committee action shall require an unanimous, affirmative vote by all of the
Participants. The Committee will recommend action to the Board of Directors of the Authority
(the "Board"), and any Committee action must be ratified by the Board.
The locality in which the Project is situated (the "Host Locality ") shall not enter into a
performance agreement or any other arrangement that involves the rebate or abatement of all or a
Final Draft: 09.15.2016
portion of the enumerated taxes to the owner of the Real Property without the unanimous consent
of the Committee. The Committee may choose to review and recommend to the Authority
restrictive covenants for the development of the Real Property and the Project; such restrictive
covenants shall include setbacks, landscaping land uses and other similar restrictions that are
usual and customary in industrial developments. The Authority shall take all steps necessary to
implement such restrictive covenants at the recommendation of the Committee. The Committee
may collaborate with the planning staff of each of the Participants to develop land use
regulations and other such standards of land use to be established on the Real Property. Such
regulations and standards of land use will be developed in order to maximize the revenue
producing use of the Real Property. Such standards may include the average wage of the jobs
produced by the Project, anticipated tax returns of the Project, and numbers of jobs created by
the Project. The Committee shall present such recommended land use regulations to the
Authority for consideration and implementation.
The Host Locality agrees to cooperate with the Authority in pursuing the rezoning or
other land use regulation of the Real Property and diligently pursue approval of such rezoning or
other land use regulation of the Real Property, based on the recommendation of the Committee.
IN,
ANNUALBUDGET
As soon as practicable after the Committee is formed, and thereafter by March I of each
year, the Committee shall develop and present to the Participants and the Authority a budget for
the fiscal year beginning the following July 1, showing (a) all contemplated expenditures for
costs and expenses of the Project (the "Project Costs "), including the cost of debt service
( "Project Debt Service Costs ") and the cost of operations and administration of the Project
including costs to design, acquire, construct, equip and operate the Project not paid from the
proceeds of Project Debt (as defined below) ( "Project Administration Costs ") and (b) all
anticipated Project Revenue (as defined below) and other funds expected to be generated from or
in connection with the Project, including federal and state grants. This annual budget shall be
approved by the Committee on or before April I of each year.
V
CONTRIBUTION AMOUNTS
Subject to Article VIII below, each Participant shall make payments on a quarterly basis,
in advance, or on another basis if approved by the Project Participant Committee, sufficient to
pay the Project Administration Costs (the "Project Administration Contribution Amounts ")
in the following proportions (the "Contribution Proportions "): City of Roanoke = 44.2 %,
Roanoke County = 44.2 %, City of Salem = 11.6 %.
The initial payment of Project Administration Contribution Amounts shall be made by
each Participant on or before January 1, 2017. Should any Participant fail or neglect to pay its
Final Draft: 09.15.2016
Project Administration Contribution Amount on or before the date when such Project
Administration Contribution Amount is due and owing, and such failure continues for more than
thirty (30) days after written demand for payment made to such Participant by the Committee,
such Participant shall forfeit and lose any and all rights arising out of this Agreement, including
any rights to vote and any right to receive a share of Project Revenue (as defined below). In the
event that any Participant forfeits and loses its rights under this Agreement, the Project
Administration Contribution Amounts of the remaining Participants shall increase
proportionately so that Project Administration Costs may be paid in full.
Contribution Amounts to be used by the Authority to pay debt service on Project Debt
(the "Project Debt Contribution Amounts ") shall be paid by each Participant in accordance
with one or more support agreements entered into by each Participant (each, a "Support
Agreement ") in connection with Project Debt (as defined below) in accordance with the
Contribution Proportion applicable to each Participant as set forth above. The type of obligation
of any Participant under a Support Agreement, whether a general obligation, a "moral" obligation
or otherwise shall be as set forth and described in each particular Support Agreement. The right
of any Participant to prepay any Project Debt Contribution Amount shall be as set forth and
described in each particular Support Agreement. Should any Participant fail or neglect to pay its
Project Debt Contribution Amount on or before the date when such Project Debt Contribution
Amount is due and owing, or fail to enter into a Support Agreement reflecting that Participant's
Contribution Proportion up to the Maximum Project Debt (as defined below) such Participant
shall forfeit and lose any and all rights arising out of this Agreement, including any rights to vote
and any right to receive a share of Project Revenue (as defined below). In the event that any
Participant forfeits and loses its rights under this Agreement, the remaining Participants shall
have no responsibility or liability to pay any portion of the Project Debt Contribution Amount of
the former Participant.
VI
FINANCING
Participants shall be responsible for payment of all debt obligations of the Authority
related to or arising from the Project ( "Project Debt ") in their respective Project Debt
Contribution Amounts and for costs and expenses for the implementation of the Project through
payment of their respective Project Debt Contribution Amounts as set forth above. Member
localities of the Authority not participating in the Project shall have no responsibility for
payments in support of any Project Debt or any other Project costs.
The Authority agrees, subject to conditions imposed by a lender, lenders or other
financing source and to the Participants entering into such Support Agreements as may be
required, to finance the acquisition of interests in Project property and initial costs related to
marketing and development of the Project, such financing expected to occur in calendar year
2016, in a principal amount not to exceed $10,000,000 (the "Initial Project Debt "). The
Authority further agrees, subject to conditions imposed by a lender, lenders or other financing
source and to the Participants entering into such Support Agreements as may be required, to
finance the acquisition of additional property near the Real Property as deemed desirable by the
Final Draft: 09.15.2016
Authority and the Committee and the design, acquisition, construction and equipping of water,
sewer, roadway and other improvements on or near such Project Real Property (the "Additional
Project Debt ") in a principal amount such that the total of the Initial Project Debt and the
Additional Project Debt does not exceed $20,000,000 (the "Maximum Project Debt ").
VII
REVENUE SHARING
"Project Revenue" is defined as all of the local taxes paid by businesses and industries
including, but not limited to, the real property, personal property, machinery and tools, sales, and
meals located at the Project site at the applicable tax rates. Project Revenue will, subject to
Article VIII below, be paid to the Authority by the governing body of the locality in which the
Project is located and shall be distributed by the Authority to the Participants in the Project based
upon each Participant's Contribution Proportion.
Vlll
WITHDRAWAL OF PARTICIPANT
No Participant may withdraw from this Agreement without the unanimous consent of all
other Participants. Once Project Debt obligations have been incurred by the Authority, no
Participant may withdraw from this Agreement without the unanimous consent of all holders or
owners of Project Debt.
Once Additional Project Debt obligations have been incurred by the Authority, no
Participant may withdraw from this Agreement without the unanimous consent of all holders or
owners of Additional Project Debt.
IX
ANNUAL APPROPRIATION
Any obligation of a Participant to pay any Project Administration Contribution Amount
or to pay any Project Revenue to the Authority set forth in this Agreement, as applicable, shall
not constitute a debt or a pledge of any Participant within the meaning of any constitutional or
statutory debt limitation, but shall be subject to and dependent upon annual appropriations being
made from time to time by the governing body of such Participant. The chief administrative
officer or other officer charged with the responsibility for preparing the proposed annual budget
of each Participant is directed to include in the proposed budget for each fiscal year the amount
of the expected Project Administration Contribution Amount (and, if applicable, payment of
Project Revenue) for such fiscal year and any other sums due under this Agreement. If, by July
15 of each fiscal year the governing body of any Participant has not appropriated such amount
for the then current fiscal year for the purposes intended by this Agreement, the chief
administrative officer of such Participant shall give written notice to the governing body of such
Participant of the consequences of such failure to appropriate, including the forfeiture of rights
under this Agreement.
Final Draft: 09.15.2016
To the extent permitted by law, in the event of the failure of the Host Locality to make its
payment of any Project Revenue to the other Participants under this Agreement, any Participant
has the right to institute a process under which a Participant could cause the Participant's
Director of Finance to withhold and setoff all further payments due to the Host Locality until the
unpaid sum of Project Revenue is obtained. The Participant will give the Host Locality sixty
(60) days' notice before withholding and setting off any such payments.
X

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by written agreement duly approved
and executed by all Participants and the Authority.

XII
SEVERABILITY
If any clause, provision or section of this Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid by
any court, the illegality or invalidity of such clause, provision or section shall not affect the
remainder of this Agreement which shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid
clause, provision or section had not been contained in this Agreement. If any agreement or
obligation contained in this Agreement is held to be in violation of law, then such agreement or
obligation shall be deemed to be the agreement or obligation of the parties hereto only to the
extent permitted by law.

Re: Amendment No. 1 to Contract for Sale of City Owned Property
Located in Coyner Springs Area of Botetourt County Designated
as Tax Parcels Nos. 108(9)IA and 108(9)1B to Straight Street
Roanoke Valley, Inc.
Dear Mayor Lea and Members of Council:
Background:
Pursuant to Roanoke City Ordinance No. 40466 - 032116, adopted by City Council on March 21, 2016,
following a public hearing, the City and Straight Street Roanoke Valley, Inc. ( "Straight Street") executed a
sales agreement dated April 7, 2016 ( "Sales Agreement "), for the conveyance of City owned real estate located
on Coyner Springs Road in Botetourt County, designated as Botetourt Tax Parcels Nos. 108(9)IA ( "Parcel
IA ") (the site of the former Crisis Intervention Center), and 108(9)IB ( "Parcel IB ") (collectively, the
"Property ") to Straight Street. The terms of the Sales Agreement require Straight Street to use the Property to
create a facility for the treatment and care of children who are homeless, or are the victims of human
trafficking regardless of gender, and imposed certain post sale obligations upon Straight Street. Closing of the
Property was to occur no later than September 16, 2016, under the terms of the Sales Agreement.
The Sales Agreement identified Parcel 1 A as containing 23.48 acres, more or less, and Parcel I B as containing
6.928 acres, more or less. This acreage was based on a survey more particularly describing the Property dated
October 29, 2012, which the City had previously obtained and was attached to the Sales Agreement.
Subsequent to the date of the Sales Agreement, Straight Street commissioned a revised survey of the Property
dated September 19, 2016, which showed that Parcel IA actually contained 28.8908 acres, more or less, and
Parcel IB contained 6.9357 acres, more or less. Straight Street desires to amend the Sales Agreement to
substitute the September 19, 2016, survey in place of the October 29, 2012, survey described in the Sales
Agreement.
Considerations
The difference in acreage between the October 29, 2012, survey and the September 19, 2016, survey is
approximately six acres. The difference in acreage between the two surveys is attributed to the fact that Parcel
IA was not fully described in the October 29, 2012, survey and the size of Parcel 1 A was based on the area set
forth in the Tax Records for Botetourt County. The City clearly intended to sell all of the Property described
as encompassing the area of Parcel IA and Parcel IB. However, use of the September 19, 2016, survey may
create some confusion for persons reviewing the record if the City conveys the Property using the September
19, 2016, survey without further action by City Council.
The City Manager and Straight Street entered into a letter agreement to extend the closing date until these
issues could be addressed. The parties desire to enter into proposed Amendment No. I to the Sales Agreement
to address these issues by substituting the September 19, 2016, survey in place of the October 29, 2012,
survey, and to extend the closing date of the Property from September 16, 2016, until a date on or before, and
not later than October 31, 2016.
Recommended Actions
Absent comments at the public hearing to the contrary, adopt an ordinance that approves the execution,
delivery, and performance of proposed Amendment No. I to the Sales Contract, substantially similar in
form to the proposed Amendment No. 1 attached to this Council Agenda report, and to execute such other
documents and to take such other actions as may be necessary to administer, enforce, and implement the
Sales Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1.

aCITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Meeting: October 3, 2016
Subject: Acceptance and Appropriation of Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT) Regional Surface Transportation Funds
for the Garden City Boulevard Trail (CM16- 00140)
Background:
The Garden City Boulevard Trail, also known as the Garnand Branch Bicycle and
Pedestrian Trail, is critical to providing bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure to
southeast Roanoke. The installation of this trail along Garden City Boulevard
will complete the north -south route through the neighborhood for bicyclists
and pedestrians. The first phase of this project was completed as a Safe Routes
to School grant from Yellow Mountain Road to Dave n po rt/lvywood Street. This
final segment will connect the trail from Dave nport /Ivywood to the existing
trail at Riverland Road. This proposed greenway and trail implements the goal
of the Regional Greenway Plan and provides for connections from points north
at the Roanoke River Greenway and the Star Trail to points south at Yellow
Mountain Road to the Blue Ridge Parkway.
On February 12, 201 S, the Roanoke Valley Transportation Planning
Organization approved moving the appropriation of $200,000 in Regional
Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) funds from the Impacts of Freight
Intermodal Center - Transportation and Economic Study project to the Garden
City Trail project.
Considerations:
City staff has been notified that VDOT has awarded the City a total of $200,000
from the Regional Surface Transportation Program. There is no match
requirement, however the City is required to meet all funding obligation and
expenditure timelines or risk funding de- allocation.
Total project cost is estimated at $1,000,000 and, in addition to the $200,000
in RSTP funds, the project includes Transportation Alternatives funding,
Revenue Sharing funds, and local funds.
Recommended Action
Accept VDOT's award of RSTP Funds for the Garden City Boulevard Trail Project
in the amount of $200,000.
Authorize the City Manager to take such further actions and execute such
further documents as may be necessary to obtain, accept, implement,
administer, and use such funds in the amount of $200,000 in RSTP Funds. Such
documents shall be in a form approved by the City Attorney.
Adopt the accompanying Budget Ordinance to establish a revenue estimate in
the amount of $200,000 in RSTP funds for the Garden City Boulevard Trail
Project and appropriate funding in the same amount into expenditure account

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Meeting: October 3, 2016
Subject: Acceptance of FYI Virginia Department Of Transportation
(VDOT) Revenue Sharing Program Award -
Authorization for 101" Street N.W. Improvements (CM16- 00141)
Background
On October 8, 2015, City Council authorized the City Manager to submit an
application to the VDOT for FYI 7 Revenue Sharing funds. Funds were requested
for a number of projects including improvements on 101" Street, N.W. VDOT
awarded the requested revenue sharing funds and on September 6, 2016,
Council took action on Resolution 40634 - 090616 to accept and appropriate
funds for several other projects. The 10" St project was not included because
VDOT was finalizing the cost sharing agreement for the project.
Considerations:
In August 2015, the City of Roanoke and VDOT agreed to a funding strategy for
the project to ensure the construction schedule was met. This strategy
included funding identified in the VDOT Six Year Improvement Program as well
as local funds required to meet the project cost estimate. At the time, the
amount of the local contribution needed was approximately $4,100,000 and
the City noted its intent to apply for future Revenue Sharing Program funding,
with the goal of reducing the amount of local contribution required.
In October 2015, the city applied for $1,000,000 in Revenue Sharing funds and
was awarded that amount in funding for FYI 7. Per the requirements of the
program, the city is required to provide a match of $1,000,000.
Based on construction bids received for the project, the total amount of the
local contribution has been reduced to $3,441,474. With the current revenue
sharing award of $2,000,000, the balance remaining is $1,441,474. Staff
expects to apply for the balance of the funding through the FYI Revenue
Sharing program later this fall.
Recommended Action:
Accept VDOT's award of Revenue Sharing Program funds in the amount of
$1,000,000, with the City providing local matching funds in the amount of
$1,000,000.
Authorize the City Manager to execute the VDOT Appendix A attached to this
report and to take such further actions and execute such further documents as
may be necessary to obtain, accept, implement, administer, and use such
funds. All such documents to be approved as to form by the City Attorney.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Meeting: October 3, 2016
Subject: Colonial Avenue Improvement Project - Acquisition of Real
Property Rights (CM16- 00138)
Background:
The City is proposing improvements to bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure in
the vicinity of Fishburn Park Elementary School and Virginia Western
Community College on Colonial Avenue, S.W. from Overland Road, S.W. to
Winding Way Drive, S.W. Improvements consist of installation of in -road
buffered bike lanes, addition of sidewalk to both sides of the street, improved
pedestrian crossings, and intersection improvements at Overland Road, S.W.
and McNeil Drive, S.W. Intersection improvements include roundabouts at
Overland Road, S.W. and McNeil Drive, S.W.
This project is part of the Commonwealth Transportation Board's (CTB) most
recently approved Six -Year Improvement Program (SYIP) and has received funds
through the Virginia Department of Transportation Smart Scale (HB2) program
as well as various other funding sources to include the Highway Safety
Improvement Program (HSIP), Transportation Alternatives (TA), and Revenue
Sharing, with local funds to fund the balance for the improvements. In the
aggregate, the City received $4,176,624 through the state and federal
government with the City making up the balance on the estimated $6.5M
project.
The City will need to acquire real property rights in order to construct, operate,
and maintain the proposed right of way improvements.

City Council action is necessary to authorize the acquisition of real property
rights needed for the Colonial Avenue Improvement Project. The real property
rights needed are outlined below, but are subject to minor variation of location
and extent pending final engineering design details.
Funding for acquisition of the real property rights is available in the project
account: 08 -530 -9458 - Colonial Avenue Improvements.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Meeting: October 3, 2016
Subject: Revised Plan for Participation in Public Procurement Transactions
Subject to the Virginia Public Procurement Act of Small (SB),
Minority -owned (MB), Women -owned (WB), and Service Disabled
Veteran -owned Businesses (SDVB) (CM16- 00137)
Background:
Solicitation and award of City contracts must comply with the City Charter and
City Procurement Policy as well as the Virginia Public Procurement Act (VPPA). In
general, public procurement requires the City to obtain bids and award
contracts to the "lowest responsive and responsible bidder."
The City's Procurement Manual has recently been updated to include updates to
the VPPA section of the Code of Virginia and current City procurement business
practices that adhere to the VPPA.
The attached plan proposes that when bids or proposals are solicited directly
from potential vendors, notification of those solicitations are sent directly to
appropriate businesses from the lists maintained and /or available to the
Purchasing Division, including but not limited to the lists of certified small,
minority, service- disabled veteran, and women -owned businesses maintained by
the Virginia Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity. The City of
Roanoke also currently maintains a separate vendor database of self- identified
SB /MB /SDVB /WB vendors. The Purchasing Division actively seeks the
participation by certified SB /MB /SDVB /WB vendors in all formal solicitations,
and encourages City departments to solicit bids and proposals directly from
SB /MB /SDVB /WB vendors in decentralized solicitations. Additionally,
Purchasing Division staff hosts and attends vendor outreach events to educate
local vendors, including SB /MB /SDVB /WB vendors, on the business
opportunities available with the City of Roanoke.
City Council and the City Administration recognize the need for improving
opportunities for small, minority, service - disabled veteran, and women -owned
business enterprises to participate in City contracts. With the adoption of this
plan, the City makes clear to the community its policy to encourage
opportunities for small, minority, service - disabled veteran, and women -owned
business enterprises to participate in City contracts.
Recommended Action:
City Council repeal Resolution No. 36967 - 022205, which adopted a Plan for
Participation in Procurement Transactions of Small Businesses and Businesses
Owned by Women and Minorities, and adopt the attached Revised Plan for
Participation in Public Procurement Transactions Subject to the Virginia Public
Procurement Act of Small, Minority- owned, Women- owned, and Service Disabled
Veteran -owned Businesses.
Authorize the City Manager to take the appropriate measures to implement the
Plan effective immediately.
