The Star Trail Parking Lot will be closed beginning March 10, 2025. The
Roanoke Parks Foundation is working on a project to build trails on Mill
Mountain. While work is underway, the parking lot will be closed to the public.
The closure is only expected to be a couple of months.
Parks staff have continued emergency response caused by the winter weather
events and flooding on February 12-20, 2025. Over the past week, crews
worked diligently to reopen Fishburn Parkway, which opened on February 26,
as well as cleaning up and reopening sections of the Roanoke River Greenway.
The Roanoke River Greenway between Wasena and Rivers Edge is back open.
The City still has downed trees to address as well as flood damage and sand
debris along the Roanoke River, Tinker Creek and Garden City greenways.
Damage assessments are still taking place as walkways, fences and other
infrastructure are cleaned and inspected. It is estimated that cleanup will
continue well into the spring.
March is Women's History Month! We have several opportunities both inside
and outside the organization, starting with She Leads Virtual Forum on
Wednesday, March 5, 2025. This dynamic event is designed to empower and
connect leaders and changemakers who are enthusiastic about driving
innovation and making a meaningful impact in their organizations and
communities. We have over 80 women in the City who have signed up to
participate. The event will be held at 5 Points Sanctuary. Also, the Library
Foundation and the Grandin Theater are offering four free films to residents that
represent waves of feminism.

No policy adopted by City Council existed until 2011.
Prior to FY 1982-83, all revenue growth was shared by the city and school
administrations on the basis of the personnel base percentage for each entity. This
method required that any new revenue generated solely be either entity be shared with
the other entity on a percentage basis. The personnel base percentage for each entity
was calculated by dividing the total personnel base (cost of employee salaries and
fringe benefits) for both entities by the individual personnel base for each entity. For
example, in FY 1981-82, the personnel base percentages for each entity were 53.7%
(city administration) and 46.3% (school administration). The total revenue increase of
$4,322,645 for that year was shared by the city and school administrations based on
these percentages.
In FY 1982-83, a new formula was developed based on the following factors:.
• . All local tax revenue growth would be shared by the city and school
administrations based on the personnel base percentage method; and i
• Any other new revenue generated solely by either entity would be retained by
that entity.
By using this new method in FY 1982-83, the Schools received $2,530,9,47 in new
revenue compared to $1,331,689 had the previous revenue sharing formula been used,
an increase of$1,199,258.
In the fiscal years that followed, the Commonwealth of Virginia allocated (substantial
new state funding to local school systems to increase teacher salaries, all of;which was
retained by the schools. City administration employee salaries did not grow as rapidly
as school administration salaries, and gradually the personnel base percentages for the
city and school administrations shifted to the benefit of the schools. It became
necessary to reevaluate the revenue sharing formula to determine if it was 'still serving
its intended purpose of equitably allocating revenue growth to meet the needs of the city
and schools.
Based on this reevaluation, a modified formula was adopted based on the following
factors:
• :The local tax revenue base would be shared based on a fixed percentage for the
city and schools administrations (percentages were calculated at the time of the
funding modification and have remained constant); and
• Any other new revenue generated solely by either entity would be retained by
that entity.
Since that time, the schools' share of growth in the local tax revenue base has been
36.42%. However, as new revenue sources have been added for dedicated
expenditures, those revenues have been removed from the local tax revenue base that
has been shared. For FY 2002-03, $6,674,340 in local taxes were not being shared
School Funding Formula History.doc
with the schools because they were dedicated to fund specific expenditures approved
by City Council in the city administration portion of the budget. Examples of these
specific expenditures include debt service for the Roanoke River flood reduction project,
E911 telephone surcharge taxes used to fund the 911 center, cable television franchise
taxes used to fund the local government access channel, and, most recently, transient
lodging taxes and cigarette taxes used to fund an enhanced marketing effort by the
Convention and Visitors Bureau and an expanded curb, gutter and sidewalk program.
During 2007, a proposal was developed to revise the funding approach in a manner that
would reduce its complexities and allow for visible consistency. Consideration was given
to providing an additional $0.5 million each year with a goal of incrementing the annual
funding above the current approach amount by $2.5 million over 5 years. At the 5 year
mark, the approach would be reviewed. The importance of collaborative operating and
capital budgeting was paramount. It was deemed beneficial for both entities to have a
better understanding of each other's strategic goals and the plan to achieve those
goals. The understanding would include both the funded and unfunded priorities in each
entity's budget. The proposal was to establish an achievable goal for a significant
increase in local funding for Schools as well as a better understanding the strategic
operational and capital needs for both entities while jointly developing plans to achieve
established goals.
In April, 2011, a revision to the funding approach was again presented. The approach at
the time was noted to be complex with numerous deductions and additions while
serving as only a funding floor. The prior goal of increasing funding by $2.5 million had
been exceeded by FY 2011. The goals of revising the approach again were to:
• Provide sufficient funding for schools
• Create a formula for use Without variation
• Provide School Board flexibility in funding educational priorities
• Simplify and improve transparency
• Implement official policy for FY 2012 budget year
• Provide a single allocation to Schools without a separate payment for debt
• Increase School Board flexibility as to operating versus capital funding
• Continued coordination of capital with easier budgeting for debt service
• Declining debt service obligations accrue to School Board, not city
Also implemented for FY 2012 and FY 2013 was a $0.02 increase in the Prepared
Foods and Beverage Tax for an agreed upon 2 year term. The revenue generated
(100%)was provided to the school division. The revenue generated slightly over$9
million over a 2 year period.

• Davenport & Company LLC ("Davenport") serves as an independent Financial Advisor to the city of Roanoke, Virginia (the
"City").
• In our capacity as the City's Financial Advisor, Davenport has historically assisted the City with the following, among other
services:
— Multi-Year Debt and Capital Planning;
— The New Money and Refinancing debt issuance process;
— Financial Policy Implementation/Review and General Best Practices;
— Interactions with Lending Institutions and the National Credit Rating Agencies; and
— Comprehensive Financial Updates to City Staff and Council, as well as other City Stakeholders.
• Davenport also routinely serves as a complement to City Staff in developing and analyzing the financial implications of
decisions made on select budget matters and capital investments.
• Outlined herein, is a series of considerations and potential strategies the City can consider while planning for the Fiscal
Year ("FY") 2026 Budget.

1. Over the last several years, the City has realized solid Assessed Value growth, which in turn has resulted in positive
increases of recurring revenues. However, inflation has been particularly impactful with respect to the cost of capital
projects; capital maintenance; and general compensation.
2. The City allocates 40% of its local tax revenue to Roanoke City Public Schools (the "Schools").
3. City Staff recognizes that the overall compensation structure for City workers needs to be enhanced. This is an important
priority in order to maintain and attract the best talent. As such, the FY 2026 Budget and future budgets will need to
incorporate new, additional recurring revenues.
4. The City has identified significant deferred maintenance in certain areas of City facilities due to budgetary constraints and
competing priorities.
5. Schools have identified long-term significant capital investment needs, including but not limited to a new high school that
is in the $150 million range (in current dollars), and up to three (3) elementary schools. All told, while these are not
immediate needs, they are nevertheless real investments that are on the horizon and would require a multi-year strategy in
order to be successfully addressed.

• The most recent FY will provide approximately $23 million in new recurring revenue to be used in FY 2026. However, there
are already considerable identified expenditures that will effectively absorb these new revenues. Some of the identified
expenditures include, but are not limited to:
o 40% Allocation to Schools;
o CSA;
o Street Maintenance;
o Salaries/Overtime/Benefits; and
o Other Miscellaneous Items.
• Effectively, the City has no material new/recurring revenues to address additional identified needs over and above
increased operational costs.
• Deferred Maintenance needs are immediate and significant, and will need to be addressed in the coming years. If funds
are made available, the City can realistically address approximately $4 - 6 million annually. Items include but are not
limited to:
o HVAC (Air Handlers, Boilers, etc.);
o Electrical Maintenance; and
o Elevators.

Immediate Challenges for FY 2026 Budget (cont.) � H
g g
RC)ANC)KE
• Given the Multi-Year Capital Funding Strategy outlined last year, the City's total tax-supported debt service payment will
require additional revenues. Thus, the City will need to identify new revenues for both the existing Multi-Year Capital
Improvement Program as well as any additional needs such as deferred maintenance and major school infrastructure.
• The City's Real Estate Tax rate has been constant for nearly a decade. Assessed values have grown significantly, and
residents/taxpayers have been effectively paying more on average as their property values increased.
• Revenues realized from Real Estate Tax are, by nature, 100% paid for by City residents and/or landowners of the City.
— As a result, the City may want to look at other revenue sources away from the Real Estate Tax rate, which realizes
funding, in part, from individuals and corporations that do not reside in Roanoke.
DAVENPORT ,®
PUBLIC FINANCE City of Roanoke,Virginia March 3,2025 4
Background on Multi-Year Capital FundingStrategy g P
ROANOKE
• In concert with the FY 2025 Budget process, Davenport developed and presented a Multi-Year Capital Funding Strategy for
the City's Capital Improvement Program (details on the plan/issuance schedule are contained in the Appendix). The
strategy incorporates a combination of Line of Credit/Note financings in concert with permanent financings in order to
strategically finance on a "Just In-Time" basis.
• As part of the first series of issuances for the Multi-Year Capital Funding Strategy, in FY 2025, the City successfully issued:
1. $57,510,000 General Obligation Bond Anticipation Note, Series 2024C, in order to provide the City with a "Just In-
Time" financing facility that the City can use to draw down funds on an as-needed basis, in turn only paying for debt
service on what is needed/drawn down;
2. $16,630,000 General Obligation Public Improvement Bonds, Series 2024B, for Schools, Fleet, and Stormwater
Capital needs; and
3. $3,590,000 General Obligation Public Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 2024C, to strategically restructure
and lower the debt service impact in FY 2026.
• The City's annual tax-supported debt service payment is expected to grow by roughly $7 million over the next 6 years.
Absent the above strategy, the same capital funding requirements would have required upward of $11 million of additional
revenue.
Note:The City's Existing Tax-Supported Debt Profile is contained in the Appendix.

Potential Strategies
ROANOKE
• The City's current Meals Tax rate is 5.5%. This compares favorably to many urban/suburban localities throughout the
Commonwealth (as shown on the following page).
• A 1% increase on the Meals Tax rate would contribute approximately $4 million in additional annual recurring revenue.
• One benefit to Meals Tax is that a significant portion of the dollars that come in are as a result of non-Roanoke City
residents.
• A common strategy used across the commonwealth is to dedicate a portion of revenues from a specific source (e.g., 1% of
Meals Tax) to a certain need (e.g., school capital, public safety, and deferred maintenance).
• As previously mentioned, deferred maintenance needs are in the range of $4 - 6 million annually. Therefore, to fund up to
$6 million of needs, the City will need to devise a funding program that strategically uses a combination of debt and cash
funding.

Deferred Maintenance Funding Strategy �
ROANOKE
• Establish a 5-Year Drawdown Line of Credit in an amount up to $25 million.
• This funding strategy does not take away any general fund dollars from the existing CIP, which is funded via the previously
outlined Multi-Year Capital Funding Strategy.
• A separate capital/debt reserve fund would be established to be specifically utilized for a specific purpose, i.e., deferred
maintenance.
• The following assumptions were taken into consideration:
1. The City receives additional annual recurring revenue in the amount of $4 million, which grows at 3% year-over-year.
2. Understanding that large maintenance needs take time and not all of them can be done at once, Davenport has
assumed that the first year of full maintenance needs will be addressed in FY 2027 in the amount of $5.5 million.
Currently, $2.5 million is assumed to be addressed in FY 2026.
3. The City uses the Drawdown Line of Credit in years 1-5 to fund immediate deferred maintenance needs, which in
turn results in a buildup of dedicated reserves that will allow the City to fund future maintenance needs with cash.
4. Conservative estimate for interest earnings on the capital/debt reserve fund of 3%.

Advantages of Deferred Maintenance FundingStrategy g
ROANOKE
1. The City will have immediate access to up to $25 million in order to fund deferred capital maintenance needs.
2. The City will only pay debt service on funds that are drawn down from the Line of Credit.
3. The $25 million Drawdown Line of Credit allows the City to build up a reserve and pay down approximately $15 million and
term out the remaining roughly $10 million via permanent financing.
4. The natural growth of the $4 million of recurring revenues and reserve fund allows the City to cash fund future
maintenance needs in the amount of $4.75 million every year going forward (i.e. beginning in FY 2031).
This strategy is a combination of cash (equity) and strategic borrowing (debt), and does not require any existing
General Fund revenues.

Schools Capital Funding g
ROANOKE
• Schools have identified a series of generational capital projects that are projected to be needed in the next five (5) to eight
(8) years:
1. A high school in the range of $150 million (in today's dollars); and
2. Three (3) elementary schools that the total cost could be in the range of $150 million.
• While not yet approved, the 1% local option sales tax could be an opportunity for the City to address the generational
capital projects mentioned above, if approved by the State Legislature and Governor.
• The 1% local option sales tax would be more than sufficient to take care of debt service with respect to the aforementioned
school projects.
• Additionally, this could create an opportunity for the City and Schools to discuss revisiting the local tax revenue allocation in
five (5) to eight (8) years' time.
• This, in turn, could free up future dollars currently planned for School Capital Debt Service to City Debt Service. Effectively,
this would "reduce" future pressure(s) on the City's General Fund.

ROANOKE
The enclosed information relates to an existing or potential municipal advisor engagement.
The U.S.Securities and Exchange Commission(the"SEC")has clarified that a broker,dealer or municipal securities dealer engaging in municipal advisory activities outside the scope of underwriting
a particular issuance of municipal securities should be subject to municipal advisor registration. Davenport&Company LLC("Davenport")has registered as a municipal advisor with the SEC.As a
registered municipal advisor Davenport may provide advice to a municipal entity or obligated person.An obligated person is an entity other than a municipal entity,such as a not for profit
corporation,that has commenced an application or negotiation with an entity to issue municipal securities on its behalf and for which it will provide support.If and when an issuer engages
Davenport to provide financial advisory or consultant services with respect to the issuance of municipal securities,Davenport is obligated to evidence such a financial advisory relationship with a
written agreement.
When acting as a registered municipal advisor Davenport is a fiduciary required by federal law to act in the best interest of a municipal entity without regard to its own financial or other interests.
Davenport is not a fiduciary when it acts as a registered investment advisor,when advising an obligated person,or when acting as an underwriter,though it is required to deal fairly with such
persons,

Hey Katharine,
I am reaching out because I see that Toye is one of the new Commissioners (at least he responded on the
attendance query). Does this mean I am not needed for the next meeting? If I am needed, have you heard from
the city attorney's office if I am qualified to serve? I know you said you'd reach out if I'm not,but I just want to
make sure I am good to go. I would hate to jeopardize a vote due to my residency. Thanks!
Best,
Kevin Berry

City Manager's Report
Submitted by: Ross Campbell,.PE, Director
Department of Public Works
ROAN O KE March 3, 2025
Title: Revision of FY2023 VDOT State of Good Repair Grant Award for ADA Ramp
Improvements in Downtown Roanoke.
Background:
In 2014, the General Assembly passed legislation allowing municipalities to allocate a portion
of the reconstruction and paving funds previously designated only for interstate and state-
maintained primary roads to State primary routes maintained by municipalities. This annual
State of Good Repair (SGR) grant program requires localities to apply for funding based on
eligibility determined by VDOT's pavement condition assessment. Segments in the City of
Roanoke, such as Route 11., Route 117, and Route 460, may be eligible depending on
VDOT's assessment.If awarded, VDOT fully administers the repaving project,and no local
match is required for SGR grants.
Considerations:
In FY2023, the City of Roanoke applied for SGR funding and was awarded funding for the
eligible segment of Route 11 along Campbell Ave from Williamson Rd SE to the 100 block of
Campbell Ave SW. The original grant agreement was funded at $537,500.
The project's low'bid in November 2024 was $535,140. Additionally, reimbursable expenses of
$22,000 for design and VDOT oversight fees of$20,000 have been incurred, resulting in a
shortfall for the construction costs $39,640. As a result, City staff requested additional funding
from VDOT in November 2024, which was approved. This agreement revision reflects the
updated project allocation.
Account Information:
SGR23LP ADA Ramps— Revenue Account: 308-4120-0000-49162-300154
SGR23LP ADA Ramps— Expense Account: 308-4120-0000-69065-300154
Recommended Action:
• Accept the updated SGR grant award for the locally administered ADA ramp
installations along.Campbell Ave from Williamson Rd SE to Franklin Rd SW, increasing
the original value of$537,500 to a new value of$577,140.
• Authorize the City Manager to execute the updated VDOT Standard Project
Administration Agreement, which has been reviewed and approved by the City
Attorney.
• Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to take any necessary actions and execute
additional documents to obtain, accept, implement, administer, and use these funds. .

WHEREAS, the School Board, adopted a resolution in conformance with School Board
Policy FFC and a resolution adopted on February 11, 2025, to request City Council authorize a
public-private partnership between the School Board and various community partners for the license
of office space at the CEC for such community partners to provide such services to students, their
families, and the community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Roanoke that the
School Board of the City of Roanoke is authorized to enter into public-private partnerships with
various community partners for the license of office space at the CEC for such community partners
to provide services that include,and are not limited,to literacy services, financial skills training,and
health clinic services, for the purpose of improved student outcomes as further detailed in the City
Attorney's letter to City Council dated March 3, 2025 and the attachments to such letter. Provided
however, no such license shall exceed terms of five years each.

Office of the City Attorney
ROAN O KE March 3, 2025
Title: Adoption of a Resolution Authorizing a Public-Private Partnership for the
License of Portions of Office Space to Community Partners at the
Community Empowerment Center at the Booker T. Washington Building.
Background:
By Resolution adopted by the School Board of the City of Roanoke ("School Board") on
February 11, 2025, and at its request by_letter from Dr. Verletta White dated February 20,
2025 to City Council, I recommend that City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing
a public-private partnership for the license of office space at the Community Empowerment
Center at the Booker T. Washington Building (the "CEC") to various community partners. The
CEC is located at 40.Douglass Avenue, Roanoke, Virginia, and is scheduled to open in June
2025, after staff relocates to Roanoke City Public Schools' ("RCPS") administrative offices
located on Campbell Avenue in downtown Roanoke.
Per Dr. White's letter, the CEC was established for the purpose of providing services to
students, their families, and the community that include literacy services, financial skills
training, health clinic services, and such other services that are reasonably designed to
strengthen families and enhance student learning, leading to improved student.outcomes.
These services will be provided by several community partners which are anticipated to
include New Horizons Healthcare, the City of Roanoke, TAP, among others. In order for these
community partners to provide these services at the CEC, it will be necessary for RCPS to
license office space at the CEC to some of the partners for such purposes.
Section 56 of the Roanoke City Charter provides that all real estate used for school shall be
tilted in the name of the City of Roanoke. Roanoke City Council previously dedicated to the
School Board the care, operation, and management over all school property as long as such
property is used for school purposes.
Additionally, School Board Policy FFC, Release of Real Property from Educational Use,
requires that the School Board notify City Council by resolution of its request to enter into a
public-private partnership for a school site or building and that such notification be transmitted
by letter stating the basis for such determination. Under that policy, a public-private
partnership is defined to include, but not be limited to,;"the lease of real property used for
school purposes to others, the exchange of real property used for school purposes, or other
real estate transactions that result in a benefit or value to Roanoke City Public
Schools." Resolution No. 27788-090985, adopted by City Council on September 9, 1985,
similarly requires City Council first authorize any public private partnerships involving RCPS
and the use of its real property.
Adoption of the attached Resolution will ensure compliance with School Board Policy FFC,

Title: Amending and reordaining Chapter 2, Administration, Article XIV
Authorities, Boards, Commissions and Committees Generally of the Code
of the City of Roanoke (1979), as amended, to add a new Division 3,
Advisory Boards.
Background:
Several advisory boards and commissions have statutory sections located throughout the City
Code. A number of functioning boards exist but are not yet.codified. None of these boards that
function in an advisory capacity to City Council have a central location in the City Code that
are easily accessible for reference.
Creating a new Division 3 under Article XIV, Authorities, Boards, Commissions and
Committees Generally, will allow one location in the City Code,to house all code sections that
govern advisory boards. Amending the City Code in this manner will provide uniformity and
consistency.
Considerations:
To facilitate this change, various code sections need to be renumbered, repealed, and
adopted.
1. Renumbering Sec. 2-314. - Loans or grants for purchase or rehabilitation of
certain residences.
The proposed Division 3 would be best inserted between Sections 2-213 and 2-314 in the City
Code. In order to facilitate this insertion, Section 2-314 needs to be renumbered. The current
table of contents and the proposed new table of contents are shown below for visual
