The City Manager offered the following comments: In response to recent DUI-related fatalities within the City of Roanoke, the Office of Communications, the Roanoke Police Department, and the Community Engagement Teams have initiated a coordinated effort to develop a targeted DUI prevention campaign. Planning is currently underway, with initial brainstorming sessions in progress. ISTAR has been assigned to compile and analyze DUI arrest data to inform the development of strategic messaging tailored to key demographics. This data-driven approach will support effective outreach and public safety efforts. As more information becomes available, additional updates will follow. Last week, the Western Virginia Water Authority responded to a significant water main break on Melrose Avenue NW near 31st Street. Following the completion of repairs and initial cleanup by WVWA crews, a Stormwater street sweeping crew conducted follow-up work earlier this week to remove remaining sediment and debris before it could enter the storm drain system. Nearly one ton of debris was collected from the roadway shoulder and median. This proactive response helped prevent pollution from reaching Horton's Branch and underscores the vital role of street sweepers in protecting local water quality and maintaining clean, safe streets in the aftermath of crashes, spills, and infrastructure failures. In recent weeks, a team of 38 members from Fire-EMS and community partners visited over 300 homes in Garden City, installing approximately 80 smoke alarms to enhance family safety. Representatives from the American Red Cross, Virginia Department of Health, Recruit Class 25-1, the Fire Marshal's Office, and the Community Risk Reduction Team conducted door-to-door visits, providing free smoke alarm installations, testing existing alarms, and sharing fire safety information with residents. I am excited to share that Angie O'Brien, Deputy City Manager, will be representing the City at the upcoming State of GovTech 2025 conference, held June 17-18 at Amazon's HQ2 in Arlington, VA. This national event brings together top innovators, public sector leaders, and technologists to explore how technology can transform local governance, especially for smaller- to medium- sized underrepresented communities like ours. Angie will be presenting alongside Parth Shah, CEO and Co-Founder of Polimorphic, and Instashan Chowdhury, Business Administrator of Englewood Cliffs, NJ. Their keynote session, titled "Al That Serves Everyone: Tackling Real-World Problems with Inclusive Innovation," will highlight how resource- constrained local governments can harness Al to improve service delivery, advance equity, and stay resilient amid cybersecurity threats and reduced federal support. Then, on Friday, June 20, 2025, I will be representing the City at the Virginia Local Government Management Association Conference. Further, I will be speaking at the conference as a Pioneering Leader, joining William Johnson, City of Emporia, Joseph Quesenberry, Town of Warsaw, and Charles Hartgrove, Managing Director of the Virginia Institute of Government. This will be an inspiring session, as we are identified as trailblazing leaders who have made history in our communities. We will share our personal journeys, challenges, and triumphs as our "firsts" in our respective roles. Conference participants will hear our stories on resilience, innovation, and leadership. This will likely be a powerful and meaningful conclusion to the conference. This is an exciting recognition for Roanoke and for positioning our City as a voice in shaping the future of government leadership nationwide. Public Matters Follow-up Katie Hedrick, Inclusive Services Manager, reported on the following matters from the May 19 and June 2 City Council Meetings: Traffic Calming Following the Envision Williamson Road briefing, Ms. Sanchez-Jones asked about traffic calming measures in the neighborhoods surrounding Williamson Road. Report Back: In April, in response to community concerns about speeding near Sunrise and Roundhill Avenues on Oakland Boulevard NW, the Transportation Division implemented a traffic calming demonstration project. This initiative introduced horizontal deflection features, new crosswalks, and in-street "Stop for Pedestrians" signs to enhance pedestrian safety and reduce vehicle speeds. Since installation, the Transportation Division has closely monitored driver behavior. Speed radar panels show a 14 percent reduction in daily travel speed violations compared to previous conditions—an improvement directly linked to the new centerline deflection measures. Additionally, 85th percentile speeds have decreased by up to 2 MPH. Feedback from residents supports these findings. Many report that drivers are stopping more frequently for pedestrians and that overall vehicle speeds appear lower. These outcomes highlight the effectiveness of targeted traffic calming tools in improving safety and managing speed. Importantly, the success of this demonstration underscores how well designed traffic calming strategies can also serve as effective remedies for mitigating cut-through traffic concerns in nearby neighborhoods, such as those around Williamson Road. Favorite Bus Stop Dr. Hartman with Bus Riders of Roanoke Advocacy Group, encouraged residents to vote in the 2025 Favorite Bus Stop Contest. Report Back: The new pollinator-themed stop at Jamison East Bound at 14th Street is this year's winner! 2. City Attorney: - a.

Angela O'Brien, Deputy City Manager City Manager's Report Submitted by: Jillian Papa, Director �� Planning, Building, & Development ROANOKE June 16, 2025 Title: Establishing Required Public Comment Period and Public Hearing on Proposed Amendments to the HUD Citizen Participation Plan. Background: The City of Roanoke receives annual entitlement funds from the US Department of Housing and Community Development (HUD) under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs. HUD requires each locality receiving entitlement funds to develop a Citizen Participation Plan (CPP). The purpose of the CPP is to establish the locality's policies and procedures for citizen participation in defining housing, community development, public services, and homeless service needs for the locality, in addition to the funding priorities for programs and target populations to be served through such funding. The requirements set forth in the CPP are designed to encourage the participation of low and moderate-income persons, particularly those living in areas where CDBG funds are proposed to be used, and by residents of predominantly low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, as defined by the jurisdiction. Considerations: The City of Roanoke's Citizen Participation Plan was last amended in February 2022. City staff desire to make certain amendments tothe CPP to facilitate citizen input and to clarify public notice requirements. Before.the CPP may be amended, a 15-day public comment period and a public hearing are required to be scheduled. Accordingly, City staff requests that City Council authorize the opening of a 15-day public comment period commencing Friday, June 19, 2025, to receive public input on the proposed amendments to the CPP; together with advertising and scheduling a public hearing for Monday, July 7, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., or soon thereafter as time permits, for City Council to vote on the proposed amendments to the CPP. Recommended Action: Concur with the request. 0l Angela O'Brien, Deputy City Manager A CITY OF ROANOKE OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK 215 Church Avenue,S.W.,Suite 456 Roanoke,Virginia 24011-1536 Telephone: (540)853-2541 Fax: (540)853-1145 CECELIA F.MCCOY,CMC E-mail: clerk@roanokeva.gov CECELIA T.WEBB,CMC City Clerk Deputy City Clerk RUTH VISUETE PEREZ,CMC Assistant Deputy City Clerk June 17, 2025 Landon Howard Board Secretary Roanoke, Virginia Dear Mr. Howard: This is to advise you that Allison Oakey has qualified as a member of the Visit Virginia's Blue Ridge Board of Directors for a one-year term of office, commencing July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2026. - Sincerely, Cecelia F.

The Compensation Board approved funding for the Drug Prosecutor in the amount of$156,920 effective July 1, 2025, and funding will continue through June 30, 2026. A local match is required. The local match is $84,030 for a total funding of$240,950. Funding for the local share is available in the General Fund — Transfer to Grant Fund (account number 101-9310- 59535).

Background: The General Assembly passed HB 2150, which amends the Virginia Public Procurement Act by adding a new section (Code of Virginia § 2.2-4311 .3). The law specifically addresses public contracts for information technology (IT) goods and services. The key provision is as follows: "No term or provision in any public contract for the acquisition of information technology goods or services shall be valid or enforceable to the extent that it is in conflict with Virginia law." This requirement ensures that all IT contracts entered into by public bodies, including local governments. are consistent with state law. The legislation was enacted to prevent the inclusion of contractual provisions that could undermine statutory protections. state policy, or public interests. The new code section provides that its requirements will only apply to a public body if its governing body has formally adopted these provisions as part of its procurement policies and procedures. The law becomes effective July 1, 2025. Recommended Action: Adopt an Ordinance amending and reordaining Section 23.2-3, Procurement Authority, of Chapter 23.2, Procurement, Code of the City of Roanoke (1979). Laura Carini. Sr. Asst.
