McCoy Deputy City Clerk 0 CITY COUNCIL REPORT To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Date: September 4, 2018 Subject: Library System Statistics for FY -18 Attached is a report from the Department of Libraries which summarizes various measurements of activities in the system for Fiscal Year 2018 which ended June 30" On page One, the report illustrates in summary form by location that the number of programs offered during the fiscal year increased, while overall attendance and participation in such programs increased as well. Door counts at the Library branches and Main Library increased in spite of the closure of the Williamson Road Branch for renovation during a portion of the fiscal year. Even with the transition /closure of the Williamson Road Branch, total system material circulation increased; and for the first time in the system's history, total circulation of materials climbed over the 1 Million mark. On page Two of the attached, the same information is presented cumulatively for the system over a fifteen year period. Of interest at the bottom of this page is the trend on "Ebook Circulation ", which has continued to level off after an initial surge when first introduced in 2012. Also of note are the statistics at the Raleigh Court Library which reopened in FY -1 7. Door count and circulation have increased by almost 50% over the last decade, and programs offered by almost 200% as compared to 2008. The improvements and additions to the facility have also allowed program attendance to grow by almost 600% above levels observed prior to the renovation. We hope to see similar rates of growth in activity continue during the Williamson Road branch's first full year of post- renovation operation in FY -19. Should you have any questions about this report, please do not hesitate to contact me.

As you will read below, the Board undertook several activities during the past year and is looking forward to a new year of opportunities. 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 staff support as detailed below, the Board has continued efforts to raise awareness. Membership: This year the Board has not achieved a quorum at two (2) meetings. Significant change in Board membership was due to several reasons: passing of Charlotte Davis, resignation of Amanda Buyalos due to relocation out of City limits, and members choosing not to serve. Council has appointed two (2) new members. The new members have attended recent meetings and the Spring Fair Housing Seminar. There remain two vacancies. Attendance at the quarterly meetings of the board is as follows: Board Member 18 July 2017 17 October 2017 20 January 2018 — no Quorum 18 April 2018 — no Quorum Currently on Board Dennis Light Present Unexcused Unexcused Excused No Antwyne Calloway Unexcused Present Unexcused Unexcused Yes Amanda Bu alos Present Present Present n/a No Charlotte Davis Present Excused Excused n/a No Stephen Grammer Present Present Unexcused Present Yes Byron Hamler Unexcused Present Unexcused Unexcused Yes Lisa Barksdale Unexcused Unexcused Unexcused Unexcused No Anita Wilson n/a n/a n/a Present Yes Nicole Calhoun n/a n/a n/a n/a Yes Outreach and Education Activities: In line with the Board's mission, two Fair Housing seminars were held both led by Mally Dryden -Mason of the Virginia Fair Housing Office. The session held 18 October 2017 had just over 40 registered participants. The session held 19 duly 2018 Fair Housing Seminar had over one hundred registered participants. The Board continues to actively seek opportunities to enlighten and educate the city's vulnerable populations about their rights and responsibilities. Approximately one (1) to two (2) phone calls per week in regards to fair housing complaints were fielded by the Board's staff member. All complaints received were forwarded on to the Commonwealth's Department of Professional and Occupational Regulations (DPOR) Fair Housing Office or the local Legal Aid Society for follow up and enforcement. Council proclaimed the month of April as Fair Housing Month. The Board distributed the city's "Fair Housing: What You Need To Know" booklet. The Board continues to work to forward the Board's mission and vision: Mission: The City of Roanoke's Fair Housing Board seeks to expand the knowledge, understanding, and desire of all citizens to receive fair and equal treatment in respect to housing. The Fair Housing Board seeks to provide education to the housing industry, housing industry related partners, and citizens to ensure that all know their rights and responsibilities under the Federal, State, and Local Fair Housing Laws. Vision: To provide education so that no citizen shall be discriminated against on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, familial status, marital status, disability, age, or elderliness and so that all citizens have the right to live where they can afford. In accordance with Title Vlll 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. For fiscal year 2018 -2019, the Fair Housing Board has two priorities: The Board will work to bring its membership up to full strength. The Board will continue its efforts to raise public awareness regarding fair housing. The Fair Housing Board hopes that Council finds this annual report informative and useful. The Board stands ready to respond to Council's questions and guidance. - ----- - - - - -- - - - - - -- - -- ara N.

The Human Services Advisory Board is made up of nine members as follows: Elliott Bayer, Chair, Citizen Gary Heaton, Pastor, Green Memorial United Methodist Church Jash Bansal, Medical Resident, Carilion Clinic Wilton Kennedy, Director of Clinical Education, Jefferson College of Health Sciences PA Program Marion Vaughn- Howard, Citizen Bradley Stephens, Director, CoLab Tom Powers, Citizen Viven Sanchez - Jones, Student Support Specialist - Roanoke City Schools Paula Prince, Asst. Professor, Jefferson College of Health Sciences Steven Martin, Director of Human /Social Services, serves as ex officio member of the Advisory Board. The City of Roanoke collaborated with the United Way to form a joint Administrative application, and to have the City's Program application available on the United Way's online system. The deadline for submission was January 26, 20117 for both the Administrative application and the Program application. Requests from 33 agencies (40 programs) totaling $698,819 were received as indicated on Attachment A. Advisory Board members reviewed the applications online and studied each application prior to meetings held on February 8, February 15, February 22, and March 8, 2018, to discuss funding allocations. The Board considered the following when reviewing the applications and making funding recommendations: alignment between the application and priorities set by the Human Services BFO team, a fully completed application, clarity and internal consistency of the application, clarity and reasonableness of the proposed agency budget, demonstration of need, and the number of Roanoke City residents served.

Report to City Council for the City Fiscal Year July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018 Highlights During the year of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, the City of Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA) has worked through approval processes with HUD for construction of 8 new public housing senior cottages. These dwellings will be located near the Hurt Park Townhomes. Construction is anticipated to commence in the last quarter of calendar year 2018. In addition, RRHA has applied to HUD and been placed on the waiting list for the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program. The program provides for the conversion of public housing units to project -based assistance, allowing for introduction of private financing for rehabilitation or new construction. RRHA plans to utilize RAD as a mechanism for the redevelopment of the Lansdowne Park development. RRHA also finalized preparations for implementation of HUD's Smoke -Free Housing Rule on July 1, 2018. This rule requires all public housing properties nationwide to prohibit smoking within 25 feet of any public housing building, including administration and maintenance buildings. RRHA undertook a 2 year process, beginning in early 2016, of informing residents at community meetings and offering smoking cessation resources for those who chose to stop smoking. Effective July 1, 2018, all of RRHA's public housing properties are smoke -free for tenants, employees, contractors, and visitors. RRHA has been designated by HUD as a High Performer agency for both its Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs. Additionally, RRHA's Independent Public Audit for the fiscal year October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2017, was accepted by the RRHA Board of Commissioners in May 2018. For the tenth consecutive year, with audits conducted by three different firms, the audit resulted in no findings. RRHA and the Roanoke City Police Department continued the intergovernmental agreement to provide above - baseline police services at multiple public housing developments. This agreement provides additional police services during times of high call volume and is a resource for improving safety and security at public housing developments throughout Roanoke. Officers From July 1, 2017 through August 31, 2017, Dan Karnes served as Chair and Gail Burruss served as Vice -Chair of the RRHA Board of Commissioners. From September 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, Gail Burruss served as Chair and Ed Garner served as Vice -Chair of the RRHA Board of Commissioners. In accordance with the RRHA Bylaws, Glenda Edwards Goh, Executive Director, served as Secretary- Treasurer from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

ATTEST: AQ4446 City Clerk. CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Meeting: September 4, 2018 Subject: Acceptance of a National Endowment for the Arts Challenge America Grant Background: The Roanoke Arts Commission (RAC) was fortunate to utilize a VA Tech graduate student as an intern in the spring of 2017. She researched and assisted the RAC in applying for several grants to extend the reach of our Public Art Program. Part of the process was to meet with representatives from Neighborhood Services, Parks and Recreation, Roanoke Valley Greenways and Roanoke Outside. This ad hoc group assisted in developing a community survey about public art on the greenway. Using the results of that survey and the input of the ad hoc advisory group the RAC chose the site under the Memorial Avenue for the public art installation Bridge along the greenway because of the potential to transform that area through public art and to involve the neighborhoods that converge there. The RAC also reached out to Total Action for Progress and Commonwealth Catholic Charities. Both have agreed to serve as potential partners in an effort to engage the immigrant families living in the nearby Terrace Apartments. The grant application to the National Endowment for the Arts Challenge America Grant Program to support the "Arches Project" was successful. Considerations: The funding recommended by staff for the project totals $20,000. The grant from the NEA will provide support for the project in the amount of $10,000. The grant requires a one to one match. The City's funding will consist of $10,000 in cash from the grant match account. The funds for this project will be used to hire an artist to serve as the professional coordinator for the project, fabricate and install public art and provide educational materials. The expense breakdown is as follows: Artist design and project management: $5,000 Fabrication and Installation $10,000 Insurance $1,000 Consultant Fees (potential historical or $1,000 environmental site review) Documentation of process and art work $2,000 Signage, Educational Materials, Publications, etc. $1,000 Total Project Cost $20,000 Recommended Action: Accept the NEA Challenge America Grant # 1831175-78-18 in the amount of $10,000. Authorize the City Manager to execute any forms required by the NEA in order to accept these funds, such documents to be approved as to form by the City Attorney. Authorize the City Manager to provide any additional information, execute such other documents, and to take any necessary actions to obtain, accept, receive, implement, use, and administer the above Grant. Adopt the accompanying budget ordinance to establish revenue estimates for $10,000 in federal grant funds and $10,000 from City funds, to be transferred from the City's grant matching account # 35-300-9700-5415 and to appropriate funding totaling $20,000 in accounts to be established in the Grant Fund by the Director of Finance. The component of this grant to be funded using existing staff, office space and similar items will remain in the departmental account in which it currently resides. - - - - - -- -------- - - - - -- Robert S.

The area along the Northridge Apartment complex does not have this roadside ditch which is creating deterioration to the eastbound traffic lane. In order to alleviate this situation, the City will need to create a stabilized ditch, which will also provide a more pedestrian friendly road shoulder and prevent further asphalt deterioration. In order to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed improvements, the City will need to acquire real property rights from one private property owner. Considerations: City Council action is necessary to authorize the acquisition of real property rights needed for the Cove Road Stormwater Drainage 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 will be available in project account 03- 530 -3010 Stormwater Improvements. Permanent drainage and temporary construction easements of variable length and width are required to accommodate construction activities and will affect one (1) property in the general vicinity identified above.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Meeting: September 4, 2018 Subject: Appropriation of Deschutes Land Sale and Return of VEDP Funding Background: In April 2016, the City of Roanoke (City) and Deschutes Brewery, Inc. (Deschutes) entered into a Sale and Purchase Contract with the intent of acquiring property from the City to construct, equip, and operate a facility at 2002 Blue Hills Drive, N.E. A Commonwealth's Development Opportunity Fund (COF) grant of $3,000,000 was awarded by the Virginia Economic Development Partnership Authority (VEDP). This funding was appropriated and transferred to the Economic Development Authority of the City of Roanoke, Virginia (EDA). Deschutes recently notified the City that there were changes in the scope and timing of the originally proposed project requiring adjustments to the original time line. As a result, an amended and restated contract (Amended Contract) was approved at the June 18, 2018 Council session with the adoption of Ordinance No. 41 178-061818. The Amended Contract provided for the sale of certain City -owned parcels to Deschutes, or its subsidiary, for the sum of $3,205,000. Due to the changes, the awarded COF grant of $3,000,000 had to be returned to the VEDP. The City and Deschutes completed the sale by the end of June 2018 and the City received $3,195,010 from Deschutes (the original purchase price of $3,205,000, less the deposit of $10,000 previously paid by Deschutes, plus allocation of $10 for a rent payment due from a tenant). Considerations: The appropriation of funding returned from the EDA, the expenditure returning funds back to the VEDP, and funding from the sale of City owned property to Deschutes each require City Council action. Recommended Action: Adopt the accompanying Budget Ordinance to appropriate a revenue estimate of $3,000,000 in account 08- 310 - 9471 -9473 for the funds returned to the City by the EDA and an expenditure for the same amount in account 08- 310- 9471 -9812 in which the funds were paid back to the VEDP. Also, establish a revenue estimate for the sale of property to Deschutes of $3,195,010 in account 08- 310 -9471 -9472 and an expenditure estimate of the same amount in'the Economic Development contingency account 08-530-9575-9178.

AN ORDINANCE authorizing the City Manager to execute a Master Services Agreement and Dark Fiber Use License (collectively, the "License Agreements ") with the Roanoke Valley Broadband Authority ( "Authority "), governing the terms and conditions of the City's connection of certain of its offices to the Authority's fiber optic, broadband internet network ( "Network "), upon certain terms and conditions, and dispensing with the second reading of this ordinance by title. BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the City of Roanoke as follows: 1. The City Manager is authorized to execute on behalf of the City of Roanoke, the License Agreements with the Authority for the purpose of governing the terms and conditions of the broadband internet connection of certain City offices to the Authority's Network, upon such terms and conditions as are more particularly described in the City Attorney Letter to City Council dated September 4, 2018, and the attachments to that letter. All documents shall be upon form approved by the City Attorney. 2. Pursuant to the request of the Authority based on Section 2.2- 3705.6(19) of the Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, the Authority maintains that certain portions of the Master Service Agreement are confidential and will be withheld from public disclosure. 3.

Spencer David L. Collins Heather P. Ferguson Laura M. Carini Assistant City Attorneys Re: Authorization to execute agreements with the Roanoke Valley Broadband Authority ( "Authority ") to connect certain City offices to a fiber optic communications network for enhanced broadband internet service. Dear Mayor Lea and Members of Council: BACKGROUND: In 2013, the City of Roanoke ( "City "), the City of Salem, Botetourt County, and Roanoke County, formed the Roanoke Valley Broadband Authority ( "Authority "), for the purpose of bringing a fiber optic, broadband internet network ( "Network ") to the Roanoke Valley. The Authority will lease the Network to third party entities which will provide internet services to such third parties' customers, which will initially be comprised of business parks, large institutions, government facilities and businesses. As part of the City's approximate two million dollar investment into the Network, the Authority will dedicate a pair of "dark fiber" to the City for the City's exclusive use. The dark fiber will be used to link various City offices, and connect such offices to the Network. The initial City offices that will connect to the Network will consist of all of the branches of the Roanoke City Public Libraries, and the City Voter Registration Office. Additional City offices are anticipated to be added to the Network. In order for the City offices to connect to the Network, the Authority requires the City to enter into a Master Services Agreement ( "MSA ") and a Dark Fiber Use License ( "License "). Both agreements contain terms and conditions governing the City's connection to the Network. CONSIDERATIONS: Connection of City offices to the Network is in the best interests of the City and its citizens in providing access to the Internet, and is critical to the economic development of the City and the Roanoke Valley. The MSA and License govern the terms and conditions of the City's connection to the Network. The agreements are for an initial term of five years (60 months) with an option for the agreements to continue on a month -to -month basis thereafter. Copies of the agreements are included with this letter. The Authority maintains that its pricing constitutes confidential and proprietary information and has excluded that information from the relevant schedules. City administration has reviewed and found the costs acceptable. City Council has appropriated these amounts for the current fiscal year. These agreements are subject to annual appropriation of funding by City Council for each year thereafter, and the City may terminate these agreements in the event City Council does not appropriate funding in any fiscal year. In the event the City and Authority terminate the MSA and License, the City retains usage of the pair of dark fiber dedicated to the City by the Authority for the City's exclusive use (e.g. to maintain linkage of City offices), subject to the limitations contained in the agreements. Because the Authority is a political subdivision, separate and legally distinct from the City, the City Attorney recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into both of these agreements. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager to execute the Master Services Agreement and Dark Fiber Use License with the Roanoke Valley Broadband Authority, to govern the terms and conditions of the City's connection of its offices to the Network, such agreements to be substantially similar in form to the agreements attached to this letter, and any additional documents determined to be necessary to connect City offices to the Network. All such documents shall be in a form approved by the City Attorney. incerely, r Daniel J. aghan City Attorney DJC /lsc c: Robert S. Cowell, Jr., City Manager R.
