As a reminder, this project was made possible through the Safer Communities Grant.

The on-site weather station monitors real-time conditions and triggers custom alerts to sirens and mobile devices, including automatic all-clear notifications, enhancing safety for teams and ensuring smooth operations during events. Staff from both departments recently met with Facilities Maintenance to determine the optimal location for installation, which is scheduled to occur in the coming weeks. The weather station will be connected to direct power and will not include a solar panel. In addition, Emergency Management has submitted a grant application for a second Perry Weather Station at River's Edge Park. The addition of this station will further improve safety for all events and athletic activities at the park.

PUBLIC MATTERS FOLLOW-UP Kathryn Hedrick, Inclusive Services Manager, reported on the following matters from the December 15 and January 5 City Council Meetings: Greenway Access Follow-Up Garrett Robinson spoke at the November 17 Council meeting about maintaining greenway access during the construction of the Wiley Drive low water bridge. Mr. Campbell shared the following statement, which has been sent to another resident, as well. "Thank you for reaching out and for your commitment to the Roanoke River Greenway. We agree that this bridge is an important connection, and we understand why maintaining access during construction is a major concern. After a detailed engineering review, we want to be clear: there is no safe or feasible way to keep the Greenway open at this location while the bridge is being replaced. The existing structure must be removed all at once, and the limited right-of-way leaves no room for a temporary path. Environmental regulations also require the contractor to work within a cofferdam and keep at least half the river open at all times, which further restricts available space. Any attempt to keep a pedestrian corridor open would put users directly beside heavy construction activity and unstable bridge components. Because of these constraints, we must choose between keeping the current bridge area open or replacing it. Unfortunately, we cannot safely do both. During the anticipated nine-month closure, a signed detour will direct Greenway users to cross the Wasena Bridge, travel through Highland Park, connect with Franklin Rd at Walnut, and cross at Reserve to reconnect with the Roanoke River Greenway in Rivers Edge Park.We recognize the importance of transparency. Public review of the design and construction plan will occur in February, once required easements are secured. At that time, the community will be able to see the plans, ask questions, and share feedback. We appreciate your advocacy for the Greenway and look forward to working with the community to deliver a safer, more reliable bridge as efficiently as possible." Zoning Text Amendment Updates Anthony Stavola and Owen McGuire requested an update on the study of the adopted zoning reforms. Mr. Hagen submitted this as a Council Member Initiative. Report Back: Ms. O'Brien gave an update to City Council during the 2:00 pm session on December 15,.and the following information comes from her report. Three Council Member Initiatives have been grouped together to streamline the process for the Planning Department, making efficient use of both staff time and community engagement opportunities. Community meetings at libraries starting January 21. Research and drafting have already begun and will continue through the end of this month. A period of public engagement and stakeholder input is underway with a series of community meetings scheduled during the last two weeks of January. The research and input will be collected and staff will deliver briefings to City Council and the Planning Commission during February and March. The proposed date for City Council adoption is April 20, 2026, after which staff will work toward full implementation and communication with residents. More information about the community meetings can be found on the City's webpage and residents are invited to learn more and provide feedback at www.roanokeva.qov/proiects. Mayor Cobb inquired about the projection of the opening of the Roanoke River Greenway during the construction of the Wiley Drive low bridge. 2. CITY ATTORNEY: a.

Funding Policy: Background: The City of Roanoke provides funding to Roanoke City Public Schools based on a policy that was established on May 9, 2011. The policy outlines the basic calculation of available local funds, timelines for providing budget information, submittal of the annual budget request from Roanoke City Public Schools, cash transfers, and other considerations. Considerations: The School Funding Policy has been amended several times to reflect revisions in practices and other considerations under the policy. Additional revisions need to be made to the policy. Recommended Action: Approve the attached Seventh Amended School Funding Policy. al Bciii)„,..) Angela O'Brien, Deputy City Manager Seventh Amended School Funding Policy Introduction The City of Roanoke intends to provide funding to Roanoke City Public Schools ("Schools") in accordance with the following policy. • This policy is effective for fiscal years beginning with City Fiscal Year 2027. This policy regarding local funds appropriated to the Schools is made in response to current revenues and expenditures by the City, and is .neither a law nor a contractual requirement. Rather, it is a statement of intent. The revenues of the City and the funds available to it are subject to the impacts of the broader economy and actions,by our partners in state and federal government, as well as the competing demands for public safety and citizen services, and are not always predictable. Accordingly, this policy will be reviewed annually. The City remains committed to meeting or exceeding all state-mandated funding requirements for public education. Basic Calculation of Available•Local Funds For each Fiscal Year, the City Council will adjust its funding to the Schools by beginning with the previous year's total appropriation of local funds to the Schools and increasing or decreasing that amount by 34% of the aggregate growth .-or decline of aggregate of receipts from Adjusted Local Taxes as compared to the previous Fiscal Year. This sum is called the Available Local Funds. For Fiscal Year 2027, the previous. Fiscal Year will be assumed to be $106,900,961. Adjusted Local Taxes is the sum of Local Taxes less the sum of all Adjustments. Local taxes are the total of General Property Taxes and Other Local Taxes as reported by the City of Roanoke' plus the Personal Property Tax Relief Act (PPTRA)funding provided by the Commonwealth. Adjustments are the revenues from (i) the Downtown and Williamson Road Special Services Districts taxes; (ii) 3/8th of the Transient Occupancy _Tax collections, which provided to the Convention and Visitors Bureau d/b/a Visit Virginia's Blue Ridge; (iii) amounts to be paid to private entities as economic development incentive grants through current and future performance agreements approved by City Council and the Economic Development Authority of the City of Roanoke; (iv) the revenues collected from the Berglund Center pertaining to Admissions Tax, including events at Elmwood Park at which the Berglund Center collects the Admissions Tax; and (v) Incremental revenue from tax rate adjustment dedicated for a specific purposes by an action of City Council. 1 As defined by the chart of accounts cited in the Uniform Financial Reporting Manual of the Auditor of Public Accounts (http://www_apa.state_va_us/LocalGovemment/manuals.cfm). . City Council reserves the right to impose new local taxes or increase current local taxes in order to fund specific needs of the City other than education, and this policy will be revised upon implementation of such changes. Further, City Council reserves the right to adjust the level of funding in this policy in the event there is unexpected revenue growth or revenue contraction (revenue performing below budget expectation) during the fiscal year. Budget Preparation and Appropriation Timelines In each Fiscal Year, it is important for the City Department of Finance and the Schools to remain in active communication about revenue impacts and needs. Therefore, the following basic timelines for information-sharing are established. These are not to be construed as limitations; greater communication and coordination between staff of the City and the Schools are encouraged. During budget preparation for upcoming fiscal year: On or before January 15th City provides initial local tax estimate On or before March 15th Schools provide preliminary categorical budget and aggregate budget total to advertise for the budget public hearing On or before May 1st Schools provide final aggregate budget total for budget adoption For purposes of finalization of amounts of cash paid/payable for each Fiscal Year: On or before June 1st Projection of final amount for year for purposes of adjusting June payment On or before September 1st Preliminary adjustment of amount provided during prior fiscal year On or before November 1st Finalization of prior fiscal year amount As a part of the annual budget process, City and School administration shall confer on annual salary and benefit adjustments for employees. In furtherance of the School Board's obligations under City Charter § 56, the School Board will present its proposed annual budget before Council at the first Council meeting in August each year. During each Fiscal Year,-the City Council will appropriate funding to the Schools on a quarterly basis. Funds not spent by Schools in the prior fiscal year shall be returned to the City and be available to City Council for budgeting and appropriation for any lawful purpose for the following fiscal year. The Schools may request that City Council reappropriate some or all of the local funds unspent as_a result of savings during the fiscal year immediately prior to the Schools once such funds have been determined for the prior fiscal year. 2 The City is not responsible for covering any state or federal revenue budgeted by the Schools that is not received. The City will reduce the budgeted allocation of state or federal revenue that is not anticipated to be received. Annual Budget Request The. Schools shall submit their proposed annual budget for the next Fiscal Year in a format to be prescribed by the City Manager. The proposed Schools budget shall include the amount of money required for the conduct of the Schools for the ensuing Fiscal Year, with an estimate of all funds that will probably be received by the City from other sources for School purposes from sources other than local funds. The proposed Schools budget shall show proposed revenues by spending major classifications defined by law and the Auditor of Public Accounts. The City Manager-may prescribe in such forms such further detail as may be necessary to make a recommendation to Council on the City budget for the next Fiscal Year, but may recommend revision to the 'School budget in major classification totals only. The Available Local Funds shall be provided to Schools to cover operations and capital expenditures (whether funded through the operating budget or by debt service on bonds or other forms of long-term financing) for equipment, property, and buildings controlled by the School Board. Coordination between the City and Schools for debt issuance-planning shall take place as part of the annual capital improvement plan to ensure ongoing compliance with the City's debt policy. In general, the component of the debt and fund transfer classification should not exceed $5 million for Schools' capital projects. The Schools shall be responsible for debt service as part of the debt and fund transfer major classification within its annual budget submission to Council. Cash Transfers Management of the City's and the Schools' funds is the responsibility of the City Treasurer. However, due io the timelines of the City's collection of local taxes through the course of the year, transfer of duly appropriated funds from the City to the Schools will be made on a monthly basis, typically on the last business day of the month. Future Considerations Upon enactment of state legislation and local referendum approval for an additional 1% local option in the state sales tax for school construction, the incremental revenue derived from the tax shall be the source to fund new Schools' capital projects, and will generally be treated by the City as the amount that the City Council has available to fund the debt component of the Schools' budget. Funding allocated to the Schools for existing debt service at the time the additional 1% local option sales tax is implemented shall revert back to the City as it declines and be deducted from the allocation of funds to the Schools. 3 Adopted by Roanoke City Council May 9, 2011, Resolution No. 39108-050911 Amended by Roanoke City Council— May 13, 2013, Resolution No. 39652-051313 May 12, 2014, Resolution No. 39932-051214 May 9, 2016, Resolution No, 40494-050916 May 14, 2018, Resolution No.41124-051418 May 13, 2024, Resolution No.42931-051324 May 12, 2025, Resolution No.43197-051225 , 2026, Resolution No. 4 IN THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROANOKE, VIRGINIA The 20th day of January 2026.

Background: Roanoke City Public Schools (RCPS) is requesting reappropriation for capital needs to add modular classroom space (trailers) at both Patrick Henry and William Fleming High Schools. This project is intended as a stop-gap given that both schools are currently over capacity. The time and money that would be required for a more permanent solution necessitates this solution, which is expected to be needed for the next five to ten years until a more permanent remedy can be implemented. Council has agreed to reappropriate funding of$4.3 million towards first year costs related to learning cottages on the campuses of Patrick Henry High School and William Fleming High School. These funds will come from two sources: the available City of Roanoke true-up funds for FY25 available to RCPS and the RCPS balance from the unspent capital fund balance. Recommended Action: Adopt the accompanying Budget Ordinance to appropriate $4.3 million from FY25 true-up funds and capital fund balance.

ATTEST: City Clerk. 6 old isw.1 Office of the City Attorney ROANOKE January 20, 2026 Title: Amendment of Article II, Real Estate Taxes Generally, Chapter 32, Taxation, Code of the City of Roanoke, by the addition of new Division 5D, Partial Exemption of Certain Real Property Located in Redevelopment or Conservation Areas or Rehabilitation Districts Zoned Urban Center. Background: With the concurrence of the Director of Real Estate Valuation, I recommend that City Council adopt the attached ordinance amending Article II, Real Estate Taxes Generally, Chapter 32, Taxation, Code of the City of Roanoke, by the addition of new Division 5D, Partial Exemption of Certain Real Property Located in Redevelopment or Conservation Areas or Rehabilitation Districts Zoned Urban Center. If adopted, this exemption will provide for the partial tax exemption for new structures or other improvements to real estate located in a redevelopment or conservation area or rehabilitation district. The purpose of this specific exemption is to encourage the development of property in redevelopment or conservation areas s or rehabilitation districts. Certain locations within these areas are challenging for economic development activity to occur. In order to be eligible for the exemption, an initial developer must submit an application to the Director of Real Estate Valuation for approval, specifying an initial site located in a redevelopment or conservation area, or rehabilitation district, comprising no less than a minimum of 100 acres that the developer intends to develop. This initial developer must invest a minimum of$50,000,000 in the target area within seven years from the date the developer submits their application to such director for approval. Upon meeting the required minimum $50,000,000 investment threshold, individual parcels located within the initial site become eligible to receive the partial exemption upon completion of new structures or other improvements to the parcel being made. Parcel owners must first apply to the Director of Real Estate Valuation by submitting a development plan to be approved by such director, and developers must complete their projects within certain timeframes from the date the developers' applications are improved. Rehabilitation projects must be completed within two (2) years, and projects involving new construction must be completed within three (3)years. All applications must be received by the Director of Real Estate Valuation within fifteen (15) years following such director's confirmation that the required $50,000,000 investment has been met. Upon successful completion of the development of their project, the parcel owners will receive a partial tax exemption for a period of fifteen (15) years. The exemption shall be an amount equal to the increase in assessed value resulting from the construction of new structures or other improvement to the real estate from qualifying work as determined by the Director. For improvements to existing structures, the final assessed value must exceed the improvement's prior value by at least sixty percent (60%). Considerations: If adopted, the partial exemption provided by this ordinance is expected to incentivize the development of large-scale projects in urban center zoned districts, located in redevelopment or conservation areas or rehabilitation districts. Development of these areas will expand commercial and residential opportunities. Recommended Action: We ask that Council adopt this Ordinance to make these changes effective upon adoption.
