Top Ten Reasons To Hire Welfare Recipients
1. An Available Workforee-- Welfare recipients around the State are eager
to begin working and transitioning to independence.
2. A Stable Employee--Welfare recipients receive State-paid child care,
transportation, and medical assistance for up to three years.
3. A Work-Prepared Applicant--Welfare recipients receive work-
preparedness training before placement.
4. A Skilled Employee--Many welfare recipients already have the training
and education suited to employer needs.
o
Pre-Screening, No-Cost Referral--Local social service offices will pre-
screen welfare recipients to make accurate job matches, at no charge to
your business.
Ongoing Professional Supervision--Local caseworkers monitor the
performance of working welfare recipients and can sanction
inappropriate client behavior.
o
A Chance To Change the Welfare Culture--Successful welfare reform
requires private sector jobs that move welfare recipients away from
dependence on government.
8. Possible Employer Incentives--Eligible employers can receive mx
credits and inducements for hiring welfare recipients.
9. Community Enhancement--Employment reduces welfare rolls while
strengthening community fabric and creating new consumers.
10. Access To Partnerships-- Governor Allen and statewide business
leaders are forming industry-wide hiring partnerships to facilitate
efficient placement and hiring of welfare recipients into many
businesses. Yours may be one of them!

Presentation by Richard Sarver to Roanoke City Council
Roanoke City Employee Pension Plan
August 4, 1997
Thank you Vice Mayor Wyatt and members of council
Last year I appeared before council and presented an actuarial study of the City of
Roanoke Pension Plan. We asked council to make changes in the system that would save
the city money in its contribution to the plan and also to make improvements that would
benefit employees.
Four minor changes were made to benefit employees and two changes were made that
decreased the City's co,ntribution rate by 1.1%.
The net result was an estimated $495,900 in annual savings to the City.
Today I am here again on behalf of City employees to ask for improvements to our
system:
1. Increase the multiPlier rate from the present 2% to 2.3% for all City employees over
the next three years with a maximum of 70°,4 of final average salary.
2. Change spousal options: unreduced 50% survivor annuity to all City employees.
Reduction of normal retirement to 25 years of service for public .safety employees and
30 years for general employees regardless of age with no penalty.
How can improved benefits to its employees help the City?
1. If employees know they can retire at a reasonable age with reasonable benefits they
will be better employees.
2. The City presently has two pension system, commonly called the old system and the
new system. By making improvements in the new system, employees in the old system
would be given the opportunity to switch, and perhaps we could have one system that
would be an obvious help in bookkeeping.
3. Senior employees at or near the top of their pay range would have more incentive to
retire and be replaced by employees at the lower end of the pay range.
4. The City, being serf-insured for workman's compensation, would benefit from savings
in job-related disabilities by having a younger work force. This is especially true with
public safety employees due to state presumption laws.
Last year, the BOard of Trustees reported that our system was competitive with the eleven
other plans in the Commonwealth of Virginia, therefore they could see no reason to make
any major changes in our system.
Page 2
We have reports that show the City of Newport News, the City of Richmond, the City of
Norfolk, and Fairfax County have all made changes and increased benefits in their plans.
The Virginia Retirement System (VRS) had bills before the state legislators that would
increase benefits to their system.
We feel that even if we are competitive with the other systems in the state, the City of
Roanoke has the opportunity to be the leader in this field.
In conclusion, thanks to Mr. G-risso and his staff (and the stock market), the City of
Roanoke Pension Plan is well managed and well funded.
When I was here last year in March, the assets of the system were $170 million, by June
30, 1996 they had increased to $212.5 million, and by June 30 of this year they had
reached $261.2 million, a return of 22.9% in one year's time.
There is money available in the pension system at this time to improve benefits to ail City
employees. We urge you to use your influence as leaders of this City to have the Pension
Board come back with a positive recommendation to our concerns.
Thank you.

SUBJECT: Adoption of Vision Statement by City Council
Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council:
City staff briefed City Council on the status of the visioning process on Monday, July 21,
1997. As part of that briefing, staff pointed out that two amendments have been suggested to the
draft vision statement adopted by Council on August 19, 1996. The amendments were suggested
by the Cultural Services Committee appointed by City Council, and are highlighted on the
attached amended vision statement.
We are in concurrence with the suggested amendments and recommend them to City
Council for inclusion in the vision statement. Furthermore, we recommend that City Council
adopt the vision statement with these amendments at its regular meeting on Monday, August 4,
1997. Staff can then proceed with the appropriate next steps in the visioning process as pointed
out in the July 21st briefing, which are:
Continue to condense and refine the visioning data to be more meaningful to vision
implementation teams - identify priority issues;
Continue the work already begun to address priority issues identified by the process;
Initiate a benchmarking/performance measurement project in cooperation with a regional
benchmarking effort;
Engage citizens and the Leadership Team in the development of measurable goals and
objectives for the priority issues;
Continue to integrate the visioning initiative within the business structure of city
government; and
Communicate progress through an annual performance report.
Thank you in advance for your interest in this important effort.

Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
1997-98 HOME
Agreement with
Authority (RRHA)
Investment Partnerships Program
the Roanoke Redevelopment and
(HOME)
Housing
Historically, the RRHA has administered a variety of HOME programs for the
City, including housing rehabilitation and homebuyer assistance.
Ci_ty Council authorized the RRHA's 1997-98 HOME activities and fundinE as part
of the Annual Update to the Consolidated Plan (Annual Update) approved for
submission to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
on May 12, 1997, by Resolution No. 33402-051297.
City. Council accepted the 1997-98 HOME fund~ on June 16, 1997, pending receipt
of the approval letter from HUD, by adopting Resolution No. 33432-061697 and
Budget Ordinance No. 33431-061697.
Do
HUD approved the Annual Update by letter dated July 1, 1997, and received by
the City on July 3, 1997.
II. Current Situation:
A total of $867,433 in HOME funds has been budgeted for the RRHA's 1997-98
HOME Agreement.
$439,256 in HOME funds are budgeted for the RRHA's 1997-98 project
costs for three (3) HOME-funded activities:
ao
Consolidated Local Rehabilitation Loans -- Grants and/or loans to
eligible homeowners and homebuyers and to owners of substandard
rental properties for housing rehabilitation.
Downpayment/Closing Costs -- Grants to eligible homebuyers to
reduce the cash required to purchase a home newly constructed by
the RRHA.
Members of Council

Bo
Co
Homeownership Opportunities Program (.HOP) Subsidy - Funding
to the RRHA to subsidize part of the costs of constructing new
housing under the HOP.
$36,401 in HOME funds are budgeted for the RRHA's 1997-98
administrative costq relating to the HOME-funded activities.
$391,776 in carry-over funds from last year's agreement will be included
in the 1997-98 RRI-IA agreement to complete rehabilitation and homebuyer
projects which were in progress on June 30, 1997, the end of the prior
program year.
An additional $235,220 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds
for staff and other support costq directly attributable to delivering the HOME
activities is being budgeted under a separate CDBG Agreement with the RRHA to
be authorized by Council.
HOME funds must be matched at a rate of 12.5%, which does not apply to
"administrative" funds or to Grant Year 1992 funds. The match requirement for
the RRHA contract will be $103,559. Match sources include cash as well as in-
kind contributions from non-federal sources. No outlays of City funds will be
needed to meet the match requirement.
City_ Council must approve execution of an Agreement with the RRHA in order to
implement the HOME activities and permit payment to the RRHA for costs
incurred.

Bo
Clerk to attest, the 1997-98 HOME Agreement with the RRHA (similar in form
and content to Attachment 1) and amendments thereto, if necessary, approved as
to form by the City_ Attorney, within the limits of funds and the purposes set forth
in this report,
Cost to the City will be $867.433 in HOME funds, which includes the
amount needed to complete carry-over projects. Funding is available in the
HOME accounts listed in Attachment A. 1. of the Agreement.
Administrative capability will be assured by executing the Agreement. The
RRHA possesses extensive knowledge and experience in the types of
activities to be conducted.
Timing is important. Housing activities and payments to the RRHA cannot
be implemented in the absence of an Agreement.
Impact on neighborhood revitalization will be positive. These HOME
activities will assist the purchase and/or rehabilitation of approximately 80
housing units. As a result, the appearance, property values and stability of
our neighborhoods will be enhanced, and the City's stock of decent,
affordable housing will increase.
o
Consistency with the Annual Update will be achieved. The activities and
funding covered by the Agreement are specifically authorized in the Annual
Update for implementation by the RRHA.
Do not authorize execution of the 1997-98 HOME Agreement with the RRHA.
Cost to the City is unclear at this time. Funding would remain available,
but other arrangements would have to be made to establish a comparable
administrative capability within the City government structure or through
contracts with external agencies.
Administrative capability would be negatively affected. While some City
staff would be able to perform certain functions, the range of knowledge
and experience would be difficult to replace.
IJmiag would be adversely affected. There would be significant delays in
making rehabilitation and homebuyer assistance available to the
community.
4. Impact on neighborhood revitalization would be negative if assistance with
Members of Council
Page 4
Mo
the purchase and/or rehabilitation of housing was delayed or withdrawn.
Consistency with the Annual Update would not be achieved, since the
RRHA is specifically identified as the agency which will conduct the
activities covered by the Agreement.
Recommendation:
Concur with Alternative A, authorizing the City Manager or the Assistant City Mana~,¢,
to execute, and the City Clerk to attest, the 1997-98 HOME Aereement with the RRI~A
(similar in form and content to Attachment 1) and amendments thereto, if necessary,
approved as to form by the City Attorney, within the limits of funds and the purposes
forth in this report.

Dear Council Member Swain:
You have requested advice on how to best reconsider the Gainsboro Professional
Park Clean Sites Grant report discussed at the regular meeting of City Council on July 21,
1997. As you recall, you voted with the majority (3-2) but the matter failed because of a
lack of a majority of four votes. I have discussed this matter with the City Attorney and
recommend the following:
Prior to consideration of item 5.a.2., move for reconsideration of Report No. 97-160,
Gainsboro Professional Park Project - Clean Sites Grant. Once properly seconded, there
are two measures:
1. Resolution authorizing the acceptance of $100,000 grant; and
2. Appropriation Ordinance placing the $100,000 in a grant fund.
Please allow me to reiterate that the local match requirements have previously been
met. The Clean Sites Grant will allow for completion of the project.
Please call me should you have questions.

Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council:
Subject:
Gainsboro Professional Park Project
Clean Sites Grant
At Council's regular meeting on July 7, 1997, a report was submitted recommending
acceptance of a $100,000 matching grant from the Virginia Department of Housing &
Community Development intended to be used to renovate a structure which has been relocated to
124 Wells Avenue, N. W. After some discussion, action on this report was tabled with a request
fi.om Council for more information.
This project is an outgrowth of our discussions with representatives of Gainsboro
neighborhood organizations over a number of public improvement projects in that area of the
City. Wells Avenue widening, renovation of Hotel Roanoke and construction of the Conference
Center and realignment of Gainsbom Road/Second Street, including the new bridge over the
railroad, all have come about during the last five years and significantly impacted the Gainsboro
neighborhood.
Attached is a communication to Council dated December 11, 1992 which describes our
discussions with representatives of the Gainsboro neighborhood. I realize that several present
members of Council were not in office at that time and therefore do not have the benefit of all
the history of these matters. You will note that our discussions covered many topics, .and indeed
our meetings with these Gainsbom organizations continue to this day. Meetings are called
periodically and repons are presented by the various subcommittees as to progress being made
on each area.
The Professional Park concept is first described under Item 8 on page 3 of the
December 11, 1992 communication to Council. A structure formerly located at 111 Wells
Avenue was acquired for the new Gainsboro Road/Second Street Improvement Project. This
was considered to be an architecturally significant structure to the neighborhood and preferably
it would be relocated rather than demolished. Vacant property was acquired in the next block of
Wells Avenue to the west of the new Gainsboro Road/Second Street alignment and the structure
was moved. It is now sitting on a new foundation, plans have been prepared for renovation to
Mayor Bowers & Members of City Council

accommodate professional offices, and we are ready to proceed. To date, approximately
$160,000 has been spent for site acquisition, relocation, and design. The proposed Clean Sites
Grant along with remaining funds appropriated in previous Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) budgets is estimated to cover the costs of renovation.
If any member of Council has further questions, I invite you to contact Bill Clark at
853-2741, who has been a member of the neighborhood-staffdiscussion group from its
inception.
Respectfully,
City Manager

December 11, 1992
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of City Council:
Subject: Discussions with representatives of the Gainsboro
neighborhood
As we approach the public hearing on December 16 for the
Wells Avenue alignment, I would like to bring you up to date on
the progress of discussions with a coalition of organizations in
the Gainsboro neighborhood.
I began meeting in late July with a coalition of seven
organizations interested in the Gainsboro neighborhood. These
seven were Historic Gainsboro, Inc., the People's Voters League,
the NAACP, Total Action Against Poverty, Southwest Virginia
Community Development Fund, First Baptist Church and Gainsboro
Neighborhood Development Corporation. Ultimately, the first three
organizations dropped out of the discussions; but the remaining
four wanted to continue. I agreed to continue meeting with them.
Our talks are still continuing, and will continue for some
time to come. I truly believe this process has been educational
for both sides. I now have come to realize how deeply felt the
emotions are in some portions of the community. My staff and I
have tried to address the concerns expressed and to reassure these
representatives of the neighborhood that history does not have to
repeat itself. I have also come to realize how interconnected
many projects are in this small area. The revitalization of the
Gainsboro neighborhood is important to the success of the hotel,
of Henry Street, of development of the area in general.
Prompted by the plans for Wells Avenue, the four
organizations laid their concerns on the table, and we tried to
address them. In summary those concern are as follows:
me
They were concerned about acquisition of the two houses and
one business; and relocation benefits to the occupants. VDOT
relocation specialists met with coalition members, and with
the individuals to be relocated. This has reassured the
coalition members that the homeowners and one business to be
relocated will be treated fairly.

They were concerned about the impact of the Wells Avenue
alignment on First Baptist Church. To make Wells Avenue less
of a solid expanse of asphalt, a nine-foot median was agreed
to, planted with trees and other landscape materials. The
additional right-of-way required for a median would cost the
church 27 parking spaces. The church will be compensated for
land taken for right-of-way. In addition a total of 28 new
spaces could be gained from a re-design of the existing
parking lot ~nd use of the residue property caused by the
westward relocation of Second Street/Gainsboro Road. If
appropriate under VDOT regulations, the church would be
deeded this property at little or no cost. Access to the
church and current residences would be provided by a cut in
the median at the current entrance to the church on Wells,
and at the current First Street.
The appearance of the street was very important to coalition
members. In addition to the provisions stated above, staff
assured coalition men%bets that all interested parties will be
consulted as part of the design process which will follow the
determination of the alignment. Design provisions will
include antique-style street lamps the whole length of Wells
and special designation of pedestrian cross-walks at
Jefferson and Wells.
The coalition wanted to limit Wells Avenue to two lanes. A
four-lane street must be built to accomodate future traffic,
but VDOT has allowed the unusual provision that two of the
four lanes can initially be used for parking except during
morning and evening peak hours Monday through Friday,
essentially restricting traffic to two lanes most of the
time.
There was concern that future expansion of First Baptist
Church and "Old First" be taken into consideration in any
future development plans. The coalition was assured that
these organizations are important to the neighborhood, and
will definitely be consulted in any neighborhood plans· More
broadly, in fact, was the assurance that all road projects,
now or in the future, and any other major developments
originated by the City in Gainsboro, will be discussed in
advance by the City with the neighborhood organizations.
The coalition wants to encourage the use of minority
businesses in the renovation of the Hotel Roanoke and in the
continuing maintenance and operation of the hotel. I have
talked with Henry Faison, who has agreed to meet with me to
develop a plan to increase the potential for local and
minority subcontractor participation in the renovation of the
hotel. He is receptive to steps we have outlined to him as
follows:
a. A listing of needed trades and subcontract specialties
Members of Council
page 3
e
will be obtained as soon as possible from the developer,
along with the developer's requirements for pre-
qualifying subcontractors.
SVCDF, the Minority Business Network and the City will
recruit minority businesses in the specialties indicated
by the developer as needed, assist them in pre-
qualifying, and present them to the developer.
A pre-bid meeting will be held for all interested
subcontractors at the Civic Center for the developer to
review the project, contracting requirements, etc.
SVCDF, the Minority Business Network and the City will
encourage minority and local businesses to attend this
pre-bid conference and to deal with the developer.
Qualified minority businesses will be encouraged to
participate. There will be no set-asides. On the conference
center, the primary contract will have to be competitively
bid, so steps a, b, and c will be followed by the city as
owner, and the city's Minority Business Plan will be followed
as well.
For on-going participation by minority businesses in the
operation and maintenance of the hotel, the city will follow
a similar process with the operator.
There was a similar concern for minority participation among
the businesses that eventually locate along Henry Street.
The coalition was assured that the Henry Street Committee
would be informed of their concerns, but it was staff's
assumption that most of the businesses in a revitalized Henry
Street could be expected to be African-American as part of
the ethnic character of the area.
In an additional effort to encourage minority businesses in
the area, three proposals are being pursued. The feasibility
of a professional business "park", perhaps in historic
houses, is being reviewed. This would be for lawyers,
consultants, engineers, accountants and such. Similarly, the
city's economic development staff is working on the concept
of a business incubator that might be located in the
Gainsboro area.
A related provision is the creation of a micro-business loan
pool in conjunction with local banks. This pool of money
could be used for smaller loans than the current $50,000
minimum required by the Economic Development Administration
supported revolving loan fund.
HoUsing rehabilitation, new construction, maintenance and so
forth were a big concern. A task force was formed consisting
of members of the coalition, housing authority staff, and
city staff to do an assessment of housing conditions in
Members of Council
page 4

11.
Gainsboro, determine what programs are needed, and to
determine the resources necessary to accomplish the project.
This task force has met individually several times, and
expects to have their assessment and program evaluation
complete by January, 1993.
With the re-opening of the Hotel Roanoke, the coalition was
concerned that a large portion of ~obs be filled by minority
workers. As the city does with many new businesses locating
here, a customized job training program will be set up
through the Fifth District Employment e~d Training
Consortium. A contractual arrangement will be offered to the
hotel operator for the recruiting of personnel, provision of
classroom education, and specific job-related skills training
to the hotel operator's specifications; and at no or minimal
cost to the hotel operator. Where possible, former hotel
employees may be used as mentors and trainers.
Finally. there is a desire that the Gainsboro branch library
be expanded to include more restrooms, a meeting room, and
handicapped facilities~ This is being assessed by the
Director of Public Works and City Librarian. If feasible, it
will be discussed as part of the city's budget process.
In support of these proposals, fourteen city staff have been
assigned to nine task forces. These staff'members will work with
coalition members and neighborhood residents recruited for the
same task forces, to set objectives, determine schedules for
implementation, and get the programs accomplished. I have asked
Bill Clark, Director of Public Works to take the lead on this and
ensure these proposals are carried out. I am committed, subject
to appropriation of funds by City Council, to seeing that these
promises are kept. The key to the success of this, or any
neighborhood program, is the direct involvement of the
neighborhood representatives themselves. This cannot be only a
city project, nor can the neighborhood be expected to undertake
these efforts on their own. But working together, over the long
haul, I truly believe progress can be made. We have already made
great progress in this direction. I have no reason to think this
momentum will slow down.
I would be pleased to provide additional information or
clarification of any of these points if you would like.
Sincerely,
W. Robert Herbert

Gainsboro Professional Park Project - Clean Sites Grant
mo
Gainsboro Professional Park Task For~_ was one of nine task forces created in
December, 1992, to address concerns of the neighborhood.
Current objec0v~, of the Professional Park Task Force is to rehabilitate and reuse a
former residential structure located at 124 Wells Avenue for small business use.
~ in the amount of 6~..].~.,_Q.~ was approved as part of the City's 1993-94
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program to relocate two structures
(formerly 110 Wells Avenue and 111 Wells Avenue) from their locations in the
right-of-way of the Second Street project onto vacant lots on the west end of Wells
Avenue. Project size was later modified to relocate only one structure (111 Wells
Avenue).
Current Situatioo:
Co
City applied for and received approval of a $100,000 Clean Site Grant from the
Virginia Department of Housing and-Community Development to assist with
implementation of the project.

Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Subrecipient
Agreement with the Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing
Authority
mo
Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA) historically has
administered certain portions of CDBG and HOME Investment Partnerships
Program (HOME) activities for the City, including housing rehabilitation and
economic development activities.
Bo
City Council authorized the RRHA's 1997-98 CDBG activities and fundim, as
part of the Annual Update to the consolidated Plan (Annual Update) approved for
submission to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for FY
1997-98 on May 12, 1997, by Resolution No. 33402-051297.
Co
City Council accepted the 1997-98 CDBG Entitlement on June 16, 1997, pending
the receipt of the approval letter from HUD, by adopting Resolution No. 33434-
061697 and Budget Ordinance No. 33433-061697.
Do
HUD approved the Annual Update by letter dated July 1, 1997 and the City
received the letter on July 3, 1997.
II.
Current Situation:
$323,402 in CDBG funds are budgeted for RRHA's services in FY 97-98 for
administration and program support of fourteen (14) HOME and CDBG - funded
programs.
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
August 4, 1997

Projects to be administered by RRHA, and covered by this Agreement, total
~ in CDBG funds. CDBG project support costs will also provide for the
delivery of~ in HOME projects discussed more fully under Council
Report 97-30 for a total of~ in project costs.
City Council must approve execution of an Agreement with the RRHA in order
to implement the CDBG activities, support the HOME activities, and permit
reimbursement to the RRHA for costs incurred.
III. Issues:
IV.
mo
B.
C.
D.
E.
Cost to the City
Administrative Capability
Impact on Community Development
Consistency with the Annual Update
Alternatives:
mo
Authorize the City. Manager or the Assistant City Manager to execute and the City
Clerk to attest a 1997-1998 CDBG Agreement v~ith the RRHA (similar in form
and content to Attachment 1) and amendments thereto, if necessary, approved as
to form by the City Attorney, within the limits of funds and the purposes set forth
in this report.
Cost to the City will be $979,584 in CDBG funds which includes the
amount needed to complete carry-over projects and support HOME funded
projects. Funding is available in the CDBG accounts listed in Attachment
A of the Agreement.
Administrative capability will be assured by executing the Agreement.
The RRHA possesses extensive knowledge and experience in the types of
activities to be conducted.
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
August 4, 1997
Page 3
o
Timing is important since previous contract expired on June 30, 1997, and
several programs are ongoing and need to be continued.
Impact on community development will be positive. These CDBG
funded activities will assist with the development and completion of
eleven (11) community development projects as outlined in the Annual
Update and will support three (3) HOME funded housing purchase and
rehabilitation programs outlined in Council Report 97-30.
o
Consistency with the Consolidated Plan will be achieved. The activities
and funding covered by the Agreement are specifically authorized in the
Annual Update for implementation by the RRHA.
B. Do not authorize execution of the 1997-98 CDBG Agreement with the RRHA.
Cost to the City would depend on the cost of performing the activities
directly with existing and additional City staff, or of contracting for
services from other agents.
Administrative capability to perform the various activities is available in
some cases with existing City staff. However, other capability would have
to be obtained by hiring additional CDBG-funded staff and/or contracting
with private agencies. Some projects may be limited without the RRHA's
redevelopment and acquisition authority.
Timing would delay the implementation of many program activities, until
necessary staff could be hired and trained or until other arrangements
could be made.
Impact on Community Development will be negative. Eleven (11)
community development projects and three (3) HOME funded programs
could be delayed or withdrawn.
Consistency with the Annual Update will not be achieved, since the
RRHA is specifically identified as the agency which will implement the
housing and community development activities that are included in the
attached agreement.
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council

Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of Council
Subject: Re-Appropriation of Funds Previously Appropriated in Fiscal Year 1996-97
General Fund Budget.
II.
Background on the subject is as follows:
City Council appropriated funding in the amount of $478,498 for the administration and
operation of Youth Haven I - Post Dispositional Group Home with the adoption of the FY
1996-97 General Fund Budget.
The City of Roanoke receives revenue from the United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) for food service expenditures at the Juvenile Detention Home, Youth Haven, and
Crisis Intervention Center.
Co
City Council appropriated $10,000 from the Capital Maintenance and Equipment
Replacement Program (CMERP) for the City share of a beautification project on the 1-581
Southwest Expressway on December 16, 1996. One partial payment was made as of June
30, 1997, in the amount of $1,341.
City Council appropriated funding in the amount of $37,000 from the Capital Maintenance
and Equipment Replacement Program for Traffic Engineering mini-projects such as the
replacement and/or relocation of traffic signals, controller units, and for traffic studies by
consultants.
Current situation is as follows:
A. Funding in the amount of $53,800 for Youth Haven is unobligated for FY 1996-97.
Funding in the amount of $20,650 of the total unobligated funding is the result of
Virginia Juvenile Community Crime Control Act revenue received in FY 1996-97 for
anticipated expenditure in FY 1997-98, the second year of the State budget biennium.
This funding has been approved as a part of the FY 1997-1998 VJCCCA program
plan approved by the Department of Juvenile Justice.
State guidelines allow unused funding for VJCCCA orograms from the first year of
the State budget biennium to be carried forward to the second year upon the approval
by the Department of Juvenile Justice of an amended VJCCCA program plan.
3. The unobligated funding in the amount of $20,650 is required in FY 1997-98 for the
operation of Youth Haven.
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Page 2

IV.
Bo
Do
4. A separate Council Report will be submitted to approve the re-appropriation of the
remaining portion of the unobligated funding for Youth Haven and the other VJCCCA
programs upon the development of an amended VJCCCA program plan.
USDA revenue exceeded USDA expenditures in the amount of $11,362 for FY 1996-97.
1. USDA revenue must be used for eligible USDA expenditures.
2. The excess funding needs to be re-appropriated to FY 1997-98.
Funding in the amount of $8,659 for the beautification project on the 1-581 Southwest
Expressway is unobligated for FY 1996-97.
1. The unobligated funding is the result of Virginia Department of Transportation
(VDOT) activities on the project that were not completed by the end of the fiscal year.
2. The unobligated funding needs to be re-appropriated to FY 1997-98 to provide for the
completion of the project.
Funding in the amount $37,000 for Traffic Engineering mini-projects and traffic studies
is unobligated for FY 1996-97.
1. The funding anticipated for mini projects and traffic studies for FY 1996-97 will be
needed for FY 1997-98.
2. The unobligated fimding needs to be re-appropriated to FY 1997-98 to provide funding
for anticipated Traffic Engineering mini projects and traffic studies.
Issues in order of importance are as follows:
A. Completion of Program Services
B. Funding
Alternatives in order of feasibility are:
A. City Council re-appropriate funds previously appropriated in the FY 1996-97 General Fund
Budget.
1. Completion of programs and services budgeted for in the FY 1996-97 General Fund
Budget will be provided for in FY 1997-98.
2. Funding is available in the FY 1996-97 year-end fund balance.
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Page 3
City Council not re-appropriate funds previously appropriated in the FY 1997-98 General
Fund Budget.
1. Completion of programs and services budgeted for in the FY 1996-97 General Fund

2. Funding will not be an issue.
V. Recommendation:

Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council:
Subject: ROANOKE RIVER INTERCEPTOR SEWER REPLACEMENT
ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES
CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO. 2
Backaround on the subject in chronological order is as follows:
Roanoke River Interceptor Sewer Replacement is part of the renovation and
expansion of !oint use sewer facilities considered by City Council at its meeting
of December 13, 1993.
Fundina in the amount of 815.7 million was approved bY C0vncil action on
December 13, 1993, to support the City's share of the $41.5 million proiect.
The funding is from the proceeds of a general obligation bond issue.
The Roanoke River Interceptor Sewer Replacement Proiect replaces the existing
interceptor sewer from the Water Pollution Control Plant to the Salem city limit.
II.
Current situation is as follows:
Several issues have impacted the consultants' schedule and scope of servk;es,
These issues include:
Additional Pro!ect Lenoth. The initial agreement anticipated 45,408 feet
of replacement; the final length is 51,870 feet, an increase of 14.2
percent. This increase in length required additional surveying, easement
documents and design. The increased cost for this task is $43, 870.
Contract Time. The initial agreement anticipated a start of work in July
of 1994; the actual start was delayed until December 1994.
Construction services were estimated to begin in June 1995, and will
not start until September 1997. The consultant has requested additional
compensation costs in the amount of $39,65§ to offset increased salary
costs.
Redesian and Rebiddina of Contracts A & B. After reviewing bids, all
were rejected for Contracts A & B and the project redesigned in part in
an effort to reduce costs. Additional cost for this task is $46,413.
Additional Desian Task~. The consultant was requested to perform
several design studies at the Hannah Court Trailer Park to reduce

Issue~ in order of importance are as follows:
A. Cost

Alternative~ in order of feasibility are as follows:
Authorize the City Manager to execute Contract Amendment No. 2, in a form
approved by the City Attorney, with Black & Veat~;h in the amount of
$140,880.
1. Cost is reasonable for the additional work.
Funding for the City's share (36.7% or $51,703) is available in STP
Expansion Bonds 1994 (003-056-8465) and may be transferred to
Roanoke River Interceptor Sewer account (003-056-8469) to pay the
cost of the change order. Funding of $89,177 will be provided by the
other participating jurisdictions (Roanoke County 29.6% or $41,700, and
City of Salem 33.7% or $47,477) and needs to be appropriated.
Do not authorize the City Mana(~er to execute Contract Amendment No. ? with

Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council:
Subject:
FOURTH YEAR CONTRACT
REMOVE, TRANSPORT, AND DISPOSE OF DIGESTED, LAGOONED
SLUDGE FROM THE WATER POLLUTION CONTROL PLANT
ROANOKE, VIRGINIA
B_~ on the subject in chronological order is as follows:
Wheelabretor Clean Water Systems, Inc., had a one vear c(~ntr~ct to remove,
haul, and dispose of digested, lagooned sludge from the Water Pollution Control
Plant. The contract was from September, 1994 to September, 1995, with the
option to renew for four (4) additional one year periods.
Present contract price is $87.54 Der dry ton for a minimum of 7,000 dry tons
(and a maximum of 11,000 dry tons) for the one year contract.
Price fluctuation Der dry ton of sludge is based on the Consumer Price Index
(CPI). The present contract is as follows:
June 1996 CPI was 156.7 and the dry ton cost for 1996-1997 was $87.54.
June 1997 CPI is 160.3.
June 1997 160.3 - June 1996 156.7 = 3.6
3.6 + 156.7 = 2.29% increase
$87.54 x 2.29% increase = ~ per dry ton
This would be the per ton cost of the fourth year of the five (5) year agreement.
Ootion was taken for five vears because of the time required to have land
parcels approved for sludge application.
II.
Current situetion is as follows:
Fourth vear contract with Wheelabrator Clean Water Systems, Inc., would bo
a unit Price of $89.54 per dry ton with a minimum of 7,000 dry tons, or
$626,780, and a maximum of 11,000 dry tons, or $984,940.
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
FOURTH YEAR CONTRACT
REMOVE, TRANSPORT, AND DISPOSE OF DIGESTED, LAGOONED
SLUDGE FROM THE WATER POLLUTION CONTROL PLANT
August 4, 1997
Page 2
The base contract would be for the 7,000 dry ton,-, with additional tonnage
being approved monthly by administrative change order.
III.
Issues in order of importance are as follows:
ApProval or re!ectign Qf fgurth year contract
Time
Funding
IV.
Alternatives in order of feasibility are as follows:
Authorize the City ManaQer to enter into a contractual aQreement for the fg~rtl~
year of a five year option, with Wheelabrator Clean Water Systems, Inc., to
remove and properly dispose of digested, lagooned sludge at the rate of $89.54
per dry ton. Contract shall not exceed 11,000 dry tons for the amount of
$984.94Q for the one year contract.
ADor0val of the fourth year contract would be at the rate of $89.,B4 per
dry ton, not to exceed 11,000 dry tons, or $984.940.
2. Time of the contract is for one (1) year.
3. Funding is available in account number 003-056-3150-2010.
B. Reiect the renewal of the contract.
Re!ection of the fourth year contract would mean the accumulating
sludge would not be disposed of in a timely manner. Lagoons would fill
and possibly overflow before another contractor could get permits
approved for land application.
Time would not be a factor for the fourth year renewal of the contract.
Funding would not be encumbered at this time.
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
FOURTH YEAR CONTRACT

bicycle access at the 1-581 Valley View Boulevard interchange
bridge.
WHEREAS, 1-581 Interchange improvements were endorsed by

The Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor
and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council:
Subject:
1-581/Valley View Boulevard Interchange
Break In Limited Access Line
I. Backqround:
1-581 Interchanqe improvements were endorsed by Roanoke
City Council on March 18, 1996.
Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has adopted
a Six-Year Improvement Program for Fiscal Years 1996-97
through 2001-2002 for interstate highways, which includes
an improvement project in the City, known as 1-581
Interchange at Valley View Boulevard - Phase I.
Federal Highway Administration notified the City on
August 23, 1996, of its approval of the new interchange
access.
Roanoke City Council approved an agreement with
Mattern & Craig, Inc., for design of the interchange and
an agreement with VDOT for construction bidding and
administration on December 16, 1996.
II. Current situation:
The 1-581/Valley View Boulevard bridqe has been
identified in the Roanoke Valley Greenway Plan and in the
draft Bikeway Plan for the Roanoke Valley as a
bicycle/pedestrian corridor connecting neighborhoods, the
Valley View area, and downtown.
Construction plans and specifications are being developed
to include pedestrian and bicycle accommodations through
the interchange. Bid documents will identify the
specific costs related to such features on the bridge and
to connect between Valley View Boulevard Extended and a
future greenway along Lick Run. Council will be in a
position to include or exclude the pedestrian/bicycle
accommodations when awarding the contract for the bridge.
Council Report No. 97-170
Page 2
August 4, 1997
Ce
VDOT and FHWA agree that a bicycle/pedestrian facility
could be accommodated in the interchange. The City must
now provide VDOT with a formal request for a break in the
limited access line on the west side of 1-581 for the
bicycle/pedestrian facility. VDOT indicated that this is
needed now in the event that there is a favorable vote
from City Council to fund and construct the
bicycle/pedestrian facility on the bridge. VDOT will
then proceed to secure approval from the Commonwealth
Transportation Board (CTB) and the FHWA.
III. Issues:
A. VDOT
B. Timinq
C. Greenway and Bicycle plans.
IV. Alternatives:
ae
City Council approve a resolution requesting a break in
the limited access line on the west side of 1-581 to
allow pedestrian and bicycle access at the 1-581/
Valley View Boulevard interchange bridge.
VDOT will be in a position to request approval from
the CTB and the FHWA.
Timinq is important since the CTB and FHWA approval
is needed by the time City Council awards a
construction contract for the project in late
October.
3. Greenwa¥ and bicycle plans may be accommodated.
City Council not approve a resolution requesting a break
in the limited access line on the west side of 1-581 to
allow pedestrian and bicycle access at the 1-581/
Valley View Boulevard interchange bridge.
VDOT will not be able to seek the CTB and FHWA
approvals needed to allow pedestrian/bicycle
facilities to connect to the Lick Run area.
Council Report No. 97-170
Page 3
August 4, 1997
Timinq for including the pedestrian/bicycle
facilities in this construction project would be
jeopardized.
3. Greenway and bicycle plans may not be accommodated.
Recommendation is that City Council approve a resolution
requesting a break in the limited access line on the west side
of 1-581 to allow pedestrian and bicycle access at the 1-581/
Valley View Boulevard interchange bridge. This still does not
commit the City to proceed with implementing a
bicycle/pedestrian facility on the proposed 1-581/Valley View
overpass until bids have been awarded for the interchange.

At the headworks, the new 54" Tinker Creek trunk
line was shown passing under the 48" primary
bypass pipe. When uncovered it was determined
that the top of the 54" trunk line was some 6" into
the bypass line. A junction box over the two pipes
has been detailed for this conflict, with one additional
48" sluice gate valve.
$89,123
The 54" Tinker Creek trunk line also overlaps the 48"
pipe from the primary clarifiers to the retention basin.
This also requires a junction box and sluice gate to
resolve the conflict.

Total for Additional Work
$129,827
An addition of 30 days construction time is also requested to build these
two boxes.
Total ~mount of Chanae Order No. 1 is a ~redit of $115.923 and an additional

Council Report No. 97-175
Honorable Mayor and Members of City CoUncil
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council:
Subject: GARDEN CITY PROPERTY/RELOCATION PROGRAM - POLICY
Background on the subject in chronological order is as follows:
Citv Council approved the Garden Citv Property/Relocation Prooram's Acouisition
Policv as Ordinance No. 33265-020397. on February 3. 1997. This policy
provided guidelines for the purchase of houses under the Federal Emergency
Management Agency's (FEMA) grant program.
The approved Acouisition Policy did not specifically address the moving or selling
of houses bv the property owners prior to sale to the City. The purpose of this
grant program is to remove houses from the floodplain and return the properties
to open space. Any houses which are removed from the lots prior to the City's
purchase will save the City the cost of asbestos surveys/abatement and the cost
of demolition. FEMA does not object to the houses being moved by the owners,
or by someone to whom the owners sold the house. Therefore, due to the
potential $8,000 to $10,000 cost savings per house, it has always been the
intent of staff to allow the owners or someone to whom the owners sold the
house to move the houses prior to selling to the City. This issue was orally
stated at the February 3, 1997 City Council meeting, however it was not included
in the written Acquisition Policy that was adopted by City Council. The City
would pay the assessed price for the house and lot even if the house were moved
by the owner or someone else. The City Attorney has determined that the
program may not be administered inconsistently with the written policy adopted
by City Council.
The Acquisition Policy adopted bv City Council did not address the sale of houses
after they had be~n Durchased bv the City. Under this program it has always
been our intent to demolish any house purchased by the City which had not been
moved by the owner or someone to whom the owner sold the house. The City
has been approached by several citizens who are interested in purchasing several
of the houses which the City now owns. If the City sells any of these houses,
it could provide similar cost savings to those stated above. FEMA is agreeable
to the sale of houses if they are offered for public bidding and all proceeds from
their sale are returned to the project fund. There are approximately 5 to 6 houses
in this program which would be good candidates for moving. These houses are
in good and livable condition and have not experienced any significant damage
above the first floor from previous flooding.
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
GARDEN CITY PROPERTY/RELOCATION PROGRAM - POLICY
August 4, 1997
Page 2
II.
Current situation is as follows:
The City has currently purchased ten houses under this program and none of the
owners to date have desired to move their houses. At least one of the remaining
owners is interested in moving their house, and therefore, would require that this
allowance be added to the Acquisition Policy.
The City has been approached to sell several houses which have been purchased
by the Citv. This would require amending the Acquisition Policy and the Purchase
Agreement to allow the City to offer these houses for sale to be moved by
others.
The members of the Garden City Resident Task Force have all indicated that they
SUDDort the City allowino for the relocation of houses which are in this orooram.
A letter of support from the Chairman of the task force is attached.
III.
Issues in order of importance are as follows:
Protection of housino stock
Fundino
Neiohborhood SUDDOrt
IV.
Alternatives are as follows:
Allow the owners to move their houses or to sell them to someone who will move
them prior to the City's purchase, or if the owners do not move their houses.
allow the sale of City purchased houses to others so that they can be moved, and
permit the City Manager to place certain time and other reasonable restrictions
on these procedures, including the approval of the surrounding property owners
where the house is to be moved.
Protection of housino stock is accomplished by allowing the purchase and
moving of all houses which are practical and economical to move.
Fundino for this project would be supplemented by the sales price received
for houses and the reduction in demolition and asbestos abatement costs.
Neiohborhood SUDDOrt for this alternative has been received from the
Garden City Resident Task Force.

Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor
and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of Council:
Subject:
Fire Program Fund
I. Background concerning this subject is as follows'
Fire Program Fund was established by the General Assembly effective
October 4, 1985, pursuant to Section 38.1-44.1 of the Code of Virginia.
The sunset clause requiring expiration of this fund July 1, 1990 has now
been removed; thus, the City's annual allocation of state funds will continue
indefinitely.
Revenue to support this program is derived from a surcharge on all fire
insurance premiums collected throughout the Commonwealth.
Co
Program guidelines require that funds received are non-supplanting and
may not be used in replacement of existing local funding. Funds must be
used in accordance with the provisions established by the State Department
of Fire Programs.
D. Funds provided by this program may be used for the following:
Fire Service Training: The fire department may use money
received to purchase training equipment, to employ outside training
instructor(s) and to reimburse tuition for approved training classes.
Regional Fire Service Training Facilities:
construct, improve and expand regional
facilities.
Funds may be used to
fire service training

Subject:
Medicaid Reimbursement Increase Authorization
Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of Council:
Medicaid amhulanee rdmh ~ursmnen_ t r#_t~_ structure has not increased since 1981.
Thus, the cost of providing ambulance services to Medicaid patients exceeds the
allowable reimbursement rates.
Be
Several ambulance providers brom, ht lifi_~_-~ against the Commonwealth of
Virginia to increase the Medicaid reimbursement rates.
Mediation rmuited in an increase of Medicaid reimbursement rates by the
establishment of two interim rate increases.
The first rate incrmt~ is effective on July 1, 1997; the second rate increase is
effective January 1, 1998.
II. Current Situation
The Roanoke Fire-EMS De?~nmt currently bilk M-_~-_~id_ pafimt~ to the
allowable rate structure of
1-5 miles $30.00 / per transport
6-10 miles $60.00 / per transport
Over 20 miles $ 2.00 / additional mile
B. The new Medicaid in___te~n rn_t_pn are as follows:
From July 1 to December 31, 1997
1-5 miles
6-10 miles
Over 10 miles
$ 62.50 / transport
$125.00 / transport
$ 2.00 / additional mile
The Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Council Report No. 97-411
August 4, 1997
Page 2
Beginning January 1, 1998:
1-5 miles $ 75.00 / transport
6-10 miles $150.00 / transport
Over 10 miles $ 2.00 / additional mile
To u_ualify for the l~mhlll'~m~m~ of ~ hi?lu~._ ra_!~ ambulance providers
must sign a Provider Consent Form which states that the provider agrees to
accept the new Medicaid rates and be bound by the terms of the proposed
Settlement Agreement. Under the Agreement, ali providers are precluded
from bringing a separate suit to contest the adequacy of the past rate structure
and the providers also agree to accept the new rate until June 30, 1998 unless
a higher rate is approved for Medicaid transport.
The Provida- Consmt Form was received in late June and was time sensitive.
To qualify for the increased reimbursement schedule, the form had to be
signed and returned to the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The Provider Commt Form was signed by Assistant City Manager Jim Ritchie
subject to ratification by Roanoke City Council.
The Commmnve~th will initiate a study of the Medicaid rate structure, and
the City will provide information to assist in this study.

Altermttives in oFder of feasibility
A. City_ Council a_~f~'pt_ the mediated Medicaid rate settlement and authorize the
City Manager to sign the Provider Consent Form.
1. Ptd)lic SIfety. There are no impacts on public safety service delivery.
Legal_. This is a Medicaid rate increase and by authorizing the City
Manager to sign the Provider Consent Form, we are agreeing to abide
by the terms of the agreement.
Revenue Impacts. Total gross billing for ambulance services will be
enhanced by approximately $120,000 annually after January 1, 1998.
This increased revenue stream will be strictly reimbursement from
Medicaid and will not increase citizens' ambulance rates.
Cit? Coum/! not approve the Medicaid reimbursement rate increase.
1. Public Safety. There are no impacts on public safety service delivery.
Legal~. The City of Roanoke would not be subject to the terms of the
mediated agreement and could be free to take legal action to increase
fees and retroactive payments of those fees beyond January 1, 1997.
Revenue. Current Medicaid reimbursement rates would remain the
same until the City of Roanoke agreed to the new rates and/or sought
additional relief from the Commonwealth.

SUBJECT:
APPROPRIATE FUNDS AND APPROVE POSITIONS FOR WELFARE
REFORM AND DAY CARE SERVICES
I. BACKGROUND
Ao
Virginia Initiative for Employment Not Welfare (VIEW) began a four year phase
in implementation in July, 1995 as part of Governor Allen's landmark Welfare
Reform Program for Virginia. Governor Allen sped up implementation of VIEW
in December, 1996 due to the success of the program.
B. Roanoke City will begin implementation 0fVIEW in October, 1997.
The VIEW Program is focused on employment. The expectation is that those
who can work will work. Welfare recipients must be given the opportunity to
move toward self-sufficiency and away from public assistance.
Do
Day Care Services will also increaso, as part of Welfare Reform. Social Services
must provide these services as part of the transitional benefits welfare recipients
will need in their move toward self-sufficiency.
II. CURRENT SITUATION
Ao
The number of Welfare recipients mandated to participate in VIEW is expected to
increase to approximately 800 recipients. Currently, Employment Services sees
approximately 200 recipients.
The current Employment Services Program staffing level is inadequate to handle
the increase in the number of recipients mandated to participate in the program.
The current Employment Services Program office space is inadequate to handle
the increase in the number of recipients and staff. The office is currently located
in the City annex building on Campbell Avenue.
State/Federal allocations for the Employment Services and Day Care Programs
for FY 97/98 exceed the current budgeted amounte~ Employment Services
allocation exceeds amount budgeted in cost center 001-054-5316 by $520,453 and
Day Care allocation exceeds amount budgeted in cost center 001-054-5314 by
$411,206. Day Care requires a 10% local match in the amount of $41,121.

At the conclusion of the public hearing, City Council adopted ordinance
numbers 33497-072197 and 33498-072197, authorizing the issuance of
$39,030,000 principal amount of general obligation bonds and providing for the
holding of a referendum in November 1997.

Current Situation is as follows:
The Capital Improvement Proeram, totaling $270,980,797, has been revised for
fiscal years 1998-2002. The document updates the status of current projects
and includes the projects to be funded by the $39,030,000 in general obligation
bonds.
B. The FY 1998-2002 Capital Improvement Program includes the following:
Current Capital Improvement Pro~ram, current projects previously
approved and funded, totaling $186,605,241.

projects recommended for approval and funding, totaling $84,375,556.
Exhibit I shows all the projects included above in the recommended
capital improvement program.
Issues are as follows:

B. Timing
C. Funding
IV.
Alternatives in order of feasibility are as follows:
A. Council endorse the Capital Improvement Program for fiscal years 1998 - 2002
by adopting the attached resolution.
1. Status of capital projects is reflected in the updated document.
2. Timing of update allows document to be discussed with bond rating
agencies in evaluating the financial stability of the City.
3. Funding for projects is adequate and the sources are detailed in the
document.
B. Council not endorse the Capital Improvement Program for fiscal years 1998 -
2002 and not adopt the attached resolution.

Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
James D. Grisso, Director of Finance
Unaudited Year End Financials - Fiscal Year 1997
June marks the end of another fiscal year for the City of Roanoke. Fiscal year
1996-97 was a positive year in a financial sense for the City. Most importantly, however,
is the fact that Roanoke maintained its reputation for providing a high level of municipal
services to its citizens within a balanced, conservative budget. The City continues to
maintain and improve its capital facilities and infrastructure with on-going projects such as
the Sewage Treatment Plant expansion, school modernization projects, highway
improvements, and economic development activities. The City exhibits a conservative debt
posture which is reflected in our continuing AA bond rating.
The City's revenue base again reflected a moderately strong local economy in
1996-97. The City noted its greatest revenue increase in property and local tax revenues.
Both real estate and personal property tax revenues provided growth. Sales Tax revenue,
a direct barometer of consumer spending, exceeded our revenue projections and grew a
modest 4.5% since the preceding year. Our local economic trends were considered in
formulating our budget for the 1997-98 fiscal year.
Honorable Mayor and Members
City Council
August 4, 1997
Municipalities such as ours will constantly face new challenges in the years to come
as we provide for unfunded mandates, additional service needs of citizens, waste disposal
issues, and other priorities as we seek creative ways to operate in an efficient and effective

A discussion of the City's General Fund operations for fiscal year 1997 follows. Our
revenue estimate from all sources was $155,523,885, while actual collections totaled
$158,485,416. Total General Fund revenues collected exceeded the estimate by 1.90%.
Listed below is a recent history of our General Fund revenue estimates compared to
actual revenues.

Some of the most anxiously awaited information at year end is the amount of
designated funding for the Capital Maintenance and Equipment Replacement Program
(CMERP). Council adopted Ordinance number 26292 on December 6, 1982 establishing
a reserve of General Fund balance for CMERP. Computed per the requirements of

Honorable Mayor and Members
City Council
August 4, 1997
Ordinance 26292, CMERP for fiscal year 1997 for Schools is $1,036,801 and for the City
is $4,253,789 or 2.62% of General Fund appropriations. The following allocation has been
calculated based on the Revenue Allocation Model used for the adopted budget (See page
13 for details).
General Fund Designated FY 1997 CMERP
City Operations .~~
School Operations .~
As mentioned earlier, the School Board operations are accounted for in a separate
fund. The amount of CMERP designated in the School Fund totals $840,273. Therefore,
the total CMERP available to the Schools in both the General Fund and School Fund is
$1,877,074 ($1,036,801 and $840,273) or 2.15% of School Fund Appropriations.
General Fund Statement of Revenues
A summary of unaudited revenues by category and the variances between actual
collections and the budgetary estimates may be found on page 18. The following narrative
discusses significant revenue trends for the year.
General Property Taxes
This category includes taxes on Real Estate, Personal Property and Public Service
Corporations as well as Penalties and Interest. Estimated revenues for this category were
3
Honorable Mayor and Members
City Council
August 4, 1997
$62,694,552 while actual collections were $64,087,189, exceeding this budget by
$1,392,637 or 2.22%. Real Estate taxes increased by $2,153,000 since FY96 providing
growth of 5.7%, and they were just over the budgeted amount. Personal Property taxes
exceeded budget by almost $980,000 or 5.19%, and were in excess of the FY96 total by
$910,000. Public Service Corporation taxes declined by $273,000, achieving
approximately 95% of the budgeted amount. Penalties and Interest increased $92,000
from FY96, well in excess of the budgeted level.
Other Local Taxes
This category includes Sales Tax, Utility Tax, Business, Professional, and
Occupational License Tax, Transient Room Tax, Franchise Taxes, Prepared Food and
Beverage Taxes and other miscellaneous local taxes. This category of taxes serves as one
of the best indicators of the strength of the local economy. The total estimate for this
category was $48,474,356, but actual collections were $49,567,057. Collections
exceeded the budget by 2.25%, and they grew by nearly 3.0% since FY96.
Sales Tax showed growth of 4.5% over FY96 and just exceeded budget at
$15,840,892. Business, Professional and Occupational License taxes grew since FY96 by
$369,000, producing growth of 4.0%. Transient Room taxes exceeded their budget by
7.59%, while admissions tax was up 16.45%. The Emergency 911 telephone tax provided
an additional $145,000 of revenue due to increased rates. Prepared Food and Beverage
4
Honorable Mayor and Members
City Council
August 4, 1997
taxes grew $287,000 since FY96 and were up 4.06% from the budgeted amount.
Franchise and recordation taxes also grew, while electric service utility tax and bank stock
taxes have declined.
Permits. Fees and License~
This revenue category includes dog licenses, building related fees, various inspection
fees and street opening permits. Revenues for this category totaled $680,100, exceeding
the budget of $562,200 by over 20%. The increase is due to higher revenues from
electrical, plumbing, building, and heating inspection fees and increased street opening
permits.
Fines and Forfeitures
This category consists of parking tickets and fines collected by various courts.
Revenues in this category of $990,907 exceeded the budgeted level by 13.18% or
$115,407. The revenue growth is due to increased revenue from all categories of court
fines and collection fees. Some traffic fines have increased, and a more aggressive
collection approach has been employed to maximize these revenues.
Revenue from Use of Money and Prooertv
This revenue category consists of interest earnings and various property rentals.
Revenue in this category was $1,037,250, a decline of 9.72% since the prior year. The
Honorable Mayor and Members
City Council
August 4, 1997
decrease is due to a decline in interest earnings, offset by increased property rental. The
decreased interest income has resulted from a reduction in the General Fund's cash
balances which occurred when the new Risk Management Internal Service Fund was
established July 1. The Risk Management function was previously part of the General
Fund.
Grants-In-Aid Commonwealth
This category is comprised of non-categorical aid (State recordation tax, ABC, wine,
rolling stock and rental car tax), shared expenses for Constitutional Offices, Social Services
funding (foster care, day care, welfare payments, employment services, and the
Comprehensive Services Act Programs), and other categorical aid (street maintenance, City
Jail Block Grant, Juvenile Facilities Block Grant, Law Enforcement and Library Grant).
Revenues in this category totaled $36,583,143, exceeding the budgeted level by 1.85%
and the FY96 total by $3,317,006. The increase in the current year is largely due to
revenue gains in Social Services which increased in all areas, providing growth of
$1,625,000 since FY96. Revenues from the Comprehensive Services Act, foster care, day
care and general administration of Social Services programs increased. Shared expenses
for the Sheriff's department grew by nearly $700,000 due to higher state reimbursement
following the recent City Jail expansion. Revenues from the City Jail Block Grant likewise
grew $571,000. The Virginia Juvenile Crime Control Act (VJCCCA) also spurred growth
in revenue from the Commonwealth as it grew nearly $550,000 since FY96.
6
Honorable Mayor and Members
City Council
August 4, 1997
Grants-in-Aid Federal Government
This category consists of funding from the Federal Emergency Management
Association (FEMA). Revenue in this category was $43,490 compared to $167,871 for
FY96. There have been higher civil defense payments this year, but a $14,000 flood
damage reimbursement was received last year.
Charqes for Current Service~
This category includes court fees, refuse collection, weed cutting, emergency
medical service, police fees, fire safety fees, and central service charges. Collections
totaled $3,253,684, resulting in growth of 5.59% over that of FY96. The increased
revenue in this category is due to increased Central Services charges and EMS revenues.
Central Services charges are charges to the Enterprise Funds (Water, Sewage, Nursing
Home and Pension Plan) for administrative services provided by the General Fund.
Miscellaneous Revenue
Revenues included in this category are payments in lieu of taxes from Roanoke
Redevelopment and Housing Authority, sales of surplus property, and other nonrecurring
revenues. Revenue in this category was $487,418, up $173,427 since FY96. The growth
in. miscellaneous revenue is mainly due to the receipt of nearly $194,000 in connection
with Trigon's settlement regarding discounts not properly deducted from employer claim
costs. Sales of surplus property have also increased, and there have been increases in
other miscellaneous revenues.
7
Honorable Mayor and Members
City Council
August 4, 1997
Internal Services
This category represents payments from Enterprise, Internal Service, and Agency
Funds for services provided by the General Fund departments. Services provided include
fire safety for the Airport, billings and collections services for the Water and Sewage
Treatment Funds, engineering services and various other public works services. The
category totaled $1,755,178 or 96.23% of budget. This shortfall was caused by lower
than expected billings by Engineering and Street Maintenance. The category grew 4.49%
since FY96.
Total expenditures and encumbrances for FY 1997 were $159,719,270 which were
$2,578,893 or 1.59% less than City Council had authorized (See page 18). The
authorized expenditure budget includes appropriations of CMERP funds during the year.
General Fund expenditures and encumbrances are up 4.99% overall compared to last fiscal
year. The majority of this increase is due to personnel costs, but there are some other
variances worthy of comment.
Public Works expenditures increased 4.73% due to increased street maintenance
and solid waste management costs.
Health and Welfare expenditures are up 9.74% due to the increased costs incurred
in social services programs, including the Comprehensive Services Act (CSA) program.
8
Honorable Mayor and Members
City Council
August 4, 1997
Parks, Recreation and Cultural expenditures reflect a 4.55% decrease due to cultural
contributions which are now accounted for under the Health and Welfare category in
FY 97.
Community Development expenditures are up 7.04% due to increased costs in the
areas of planning and economic development.
Transfer to Debt Service Fund is up 11.63% to reflect debt payments on the 1996
bond issue.
Transfer to the School Fund is up 4.46%, reflecting increased funding for the School
Board.
Nondepartmental expenditures are up 9.72%, primarily reflecting increased transfers
of CMERP funding appropriated for capital needs in other funds.
School Fund
School Board operations are accounted for as a separate fund. The revenues
included in this discussion do not include the multi-year Grant Funds, but only those that
comprise the annual (adopted) budget. School Fund revenues totaled $84,956,609,
exceeding the estimate of $84,588,513 by $368,096 or .39%.
A recent history of School Fund revenue estimates compared to actual revenues
follows.

The amounts shown for FY97 are unaudited and may change slightly in the course
of our external audit. They are being reported to you for informational and planning
purposes.
The School Board will receive a portion of the General Fund CMERP, per the
requirements established in Ordinance No. 26292, and also retain the CMERP generated
in the School Fund. This is comparable to the method of allocating CMERP between the
City and School Administration in prior years.

Shown on page 19 is a summary of the major categories of revenues and the
specific variances between actual (unaudited) and estimated. Following are some brief
comments on the variances in major revenue categories.
10
Honorable Mayor and Members
City Council
August 4, 1997
Grants-In-Aid Commonwealth
This category includes State Sales Tax, Basic State Aid, Special Education, Summer
Schools, Vocational Education, At-Risk Children, Fringe Benefit Reimbursement, Disparity
Incentive and several smaller revenue sources. Revenues in this category totaled
$39,180,284, coming in over the estimate by $67,009 or .17%. State Sales Tax collected
totaled $7,748,707, which fell short of the estimate by $342,188 or 4.23%. Basic State
Aid revenue exceeded the revenue estimate by $148,057, and Foster Home Children
revenue exceeded the estimate by $113,645. The other major revenues in this category
were generally close to the estimates.
Grants-In-Aid Federal Government
The largest revenue source in this category is School Food Aid. Total revenue
collected in this category was $2,517,942, which was under the estimate by 1.22%.
Charqes for Service~
Major sources of revenue in this category are tuition, cafeteria receipts, and
reimbursement for transportation for special trips. Revenues for the category totaled
$3,418,243, and were 10.76% over the estimate.
Exoenditures
Expenditures and encumbrances in the School Fund (excluding special purpose
grants) totaled $86,800,776, leaving an unobligated balance of $586,160. It is important
11
Honorable Mayor and Members
City Council
August 4, 1997
to note that the authorized expenditure budget includes appropriations from CMERP during
the fiscal year. CMERP appropriations and budgeted revenue provide sufficient funding in
total for expenditures and encumbrances during the year.
A detailed analysis of the Enterprise Funds will be included with the annual financial
report.
We would like to reiterate that the General and School Fund figures discussed above
are unaudited and subject to change during the audit. We would also like to thank City
Council, the administration, and especially the dedicated staff of the Department of Finance
for their support throughout fiscal year 1997. We would be pleased to answer any
questions that Council may have.

Improvement Program for Fiscal Years 1996-97 through 2001-2002 for interstate
highways, which includes an improvement project in the City, known as 1-581
Interchange at Valley View Boulevard - Phase I.
Federal Highway Administration notified the City on August 23, 1996, of its
approval of the new interchange access.
Do
Roanoke City Council approved an agreement with Mattem & Craig, Inc., for design
of the interchange and an agreement with VDOT for construction bidding and
administration on December 16, 1996.
II. Current Situation
Faison Realty Equities, Inc., a North Carolina Corporation (FRE), has a contract of
sale from the Watts heirs to purchase property near Valley View Mall for
commercial development; a road connection, Valley View Boulevard Extended, from
the proposed 1-581 Interchange at Valley View to existing Valley View Boulevard
will cross the Watts property, among others.
Bo
Roanoke City Council approved rezoning of the Watts property for commercial
development on April 21, 1997; proffers related to rezoning are connected with the
proposed interchange and Valley View Boulevard Extended.
Representatives of the City and Faison have negotiated an agreement dealing with
the construction of the 1-581 Interchange and Valley View Boulevard Extended.
Some of the major results of the agreement will include the following:
Page 2
Do
FRE will dedicate at no cost to the City all fights-of-way needed for the
construction of the 1-581 Interchange on the former Watts property.
City will pay VDOT to construct the 1-581 Interchange and have it available
for public use byNovember 1, 1998; the City commits to approving a proper
bid or contract by November 3, 1997, provided VDOT receives reasonable
bids by October 10, 1997. The City and the developer will share in the cost
of a bonus clause to encourage the contractor to try to have the interchange
open to public use by October 1, 1998. The Interchange will ultimately be
dedicated to VDOT for maintenance.
FRE and related entities (developer) will construct at no cost to the City,
Valley View Boulevard Extended from the proposed 1-581 Interchange to
connect with existing Valley View Boulevard near Huff Lane School; the
road will be designed and constructed to VDOT standards, with such features
as four travel lanes, turning lanes, curb and gutter, traffic signals and
landscaping; the road and its right-of-way will be conveyed to the City as a
public street; Faison has an agreement with WalMart to cover that portion of
Valley View Boulevard which will cross the WalMart property.
The parties agree that FRE's obligation, rights, and privileges may be
assigned to and assumed by FCD-Shenandoah Limited Partnership.
Roanoke City School Board, at their meeting on Thursday, June 19, 1997, approved
an agreement with the City for release of property at Round Hill and Huff Lane
schools needed for right-of-way for the 1-581 Interchange and Valley View
Boulevard Extended. The City will need to dedicate a small parcel at Round Hill
School to VDOT for the interchange, and a parcel at Huff Lane School as public
right-of-way for the extension of Valley View Boulevard.
The agreement will provide in substantial part the following:
The road curbing of the new Valley View Boulevard will be at least 59.4 feet
from any part of the current Huff Lane School classroom building and the
proposed right-of-way will be not less than 42.4 feet from that same building.
The City will provide for a realignment of the intersection of Huff Lane at
Vancouver Drive to improve the entrance to the school parking lot by
August 25, 1998.
The City will study the need for additional school warning signs or signals
on Huff Lane and Vancouver Drive and erect any required signs or signals
by August 31, 1998.
Page 3
No construction adjacent to Huff Lane School property will occur prior to
June 10, 1998, or such other date mutually agreed upon by the School
Superintendent and City Manager.
An 8-foot high solid masonry wall with appropriate landscaping will be
constructed between Huff Lane School and Valley View Boulevard
Extended. An 8-foot vinyl-coated chain link fence, with appropriate
landscaping, will be constructed along the property line adjacent to the
school's parking lot. These improvements will be completed by October 1,
1998.

12.
Provisions for sound and dust control will be provided in contracts for both
the 1-581 Interchange and Valley View Boulevard Extended.
An 8-foot vinyl-coated chain link fence, with appropriate landscaping, will
be provided adjacent to Round Hill School. The fence will be in place by
August 31, 1998, and the landscaping by November 1, 1998.
The City assures that all rights-of-way and landscaping will be maintained
in a quality manner.
The City will use its best efforts to ensure that any future overhead utility
lines along Valley View Boulevard Extended adjoining Huff Lane School
will be located so as to have the least possible effect on the instructional
climate of the school.
The City agrees to provide the school board with $1,350,000 to provide air
conditioning and replacement of necessary windows at both schools and a
bus loop and additional parking at Huff Lane School. If such cost exceeds
this amount, the Superintendent and City Manager will develop a mutually
agreed upon solution to fund the additional cost. The City also agrees that
all other improvements mentioned above will be provided by direct or
indirect funding from the City.
The School Board will consent to and return to the City those portions of the
properties at Huff Lane School and Round Hill School as shown on
Attachments 1 and 2 of the Agreement between the City and the School
Board.
The City and the School Board will waive the Release of Real Property from
Educational Use Policy (Policy) previously adopted by Council on
September 9, 1985, and by the School Board on August 27, 1985, pursuant
to Paragraph VI of the Policy, to the extent such Policy may apply to this
matter.

IV. Alternatives:
A. City Council authorize:
The City Manager or the Assistant City Manager and the City Clerk to
execute an agreement substantially similar to Attachment A, approved as to
form by the City Attorney, with Faison Realty Equities, Inc., Valley View
Associates Limited Partnership, Hersch Associates Limited Parmership, and
FCD-Shenandoah Limited Partnership providing for certain obligations
conceming the construction and dedication of the 1-581 Interchange at Valley

temporary construction easement to the Commonwealth of Virginia and/or
VDOT for the 1-581 Interchange, as shown on Attachment 2 of the
Agreement with the School Board; and also the dedication for street purposes
of 26,554 sq. ft., more or less, of permanent right-of-way, and 12,052 sq. fi.,
more or less, of a 20-foot temporary construction easement for Valley View
Boulevard Extended as shown on Attachment 1 of the Agreement with the
School Board.
a. Project implementation will continue as a public/private partnership.
bo
Cost and funding - Rights-of-way for the interchange and Valley
View Boulevard will be dedicated by the City and developer. The
Page 5
private developer will construct Valley View Boulevard Extended.
City funds to construct the interchange and provide improvements to
HuffLane and Round Hill Schools needs to be approved as follows:
$1,350,000 from undesignated Capital Funds to be
appropriated to a Capital Projects Fund Account entitled
"Huff Lane School Improvements."
$4,400,000 from 1996 Public Improvement Bonds to be
transferred from Account No. 008-052-9701-9191 to 1-581
Interchange Account No. 008-052-9545-9001 ($600,000 in
bond funds was previously appropriated).
$2,300,000 is available from bond funds issued for the City
Jail expansion which were subsequently replaced by State
Grant Funds. This amount needs to be transferred from 1996
Public Improvement Bonds Account No. 008-052-9701-9183
to 1-581 Interchange Account No. 008-052-9545-9001.
Co
Schedule - It is anticipated that a contract for the interchange will be
awarded by November 3, 1997, and the road and interchange open to
the public use by November 1, 1998.
do
Traffic impact should be positive on Hershberger Road and present
roads serving Valley View Mall. Sixty percent (60%) of the shoppers
at Valley View travel from the south on 1-581. The new partial
interchange is specifically designed to serve that traffic.
eo
Economic development will be positive as approximately 50 acres of
vacant property east of 1-581 and south of Valley View Mall will be
open to new commercial development.
Impact on adjoining properties is being carefully planned into the
design of the proposed 1-581 Interchange, Valley View Boulevard
Extended, and new commercial development. Extensive landscaping,
buffer strips, visual and sound barriers are being included to mitigate
any negative environmental concerns.
City Council not authorize:
The City Manager or the Assistant City Manager and the City Clerk to
execute an agreement substantially similar to Attachment A, approved as to
form by the City Attomey, with Faison Realty Equities, Inc., Valley View
Associates Limited Partnership, Hersch Associates Limited Partnership, and
FCD-Shenandoah Limited Partnership providing for certain obligations
Page 6
concerning the construction and dedication of the 1-581 Interchange at Valley
View Boulevard - Phase I and Valley View Boulevard Extended.
The City Manager or the Assistant City Manager and the City Clerk to
execute an agreement, substantially similar to Attachment B, approved as to
form by the City Attorney, with the Roanoke City School Board, related to
properties needed for road construction.
The Mayor, City Manager, and other appropriate City officials to sign
appropriate documents to provide for the dedication of 10,880 sq. fi., more
of less, of permanent right-of-way and 24,044 sq. fi., more or less, of
temporary construction easement to the Commonwealth of Virginia and/or
VDOT for the 1-581 Interchange, as shown on Attachment 2 of the
Agreement with the School Board; and also the dedication for street purposes
of 26,554 sq. fi., more or less, of permanent right-of-way, and 12,052 sq. ft.,
more or less, of a 20-foot temporary construction easement for Valley View
Boulevard Extended as shown on Attachment 1 of the Agreement with the
School Board.
ao
Project implementation will become questionable. The City has
authorization to construct the interchange but there would be no
provision for needed connecting roads.
Cost and funding would need to be re-evaluated completely. The
City has not anticipated needing to purchase right-of-way for the
interchange nor construct Valley View Boulevard Extended.
Co
Schedule would be negatively impacted without the proposed
public/private partnership. It is uncertain when the facilities would
be open to public use.
d°
Traffic impact would be negative as increased numbers of shoppers
try to use existing roads for ingress and egress to Valley View Mall.
Economic development will be negatively impacted as new
commercial development will not occur on the vacant property near
Valley View Mall without improved access.
Impact on adjoining properties will be moot at this time but will
ultimately need to be addressed in connection with development near
Valley View Mall.
Recommendation:
City Council approve Alternative "A" thus authorizing the following:
The City Manager or the Assistant City Manager and the City Clerk to execute an
agreement substantially similar to Attachment A, approved as to form by the City
Page 7
Attorney, with Faison Realty Equities, Inc., Valley View Associates Limited
Partnership, Hersch Associates Limited Partnership, and FCD-Shenandoah Limited
Partnership providing for certain obligations concerning the construction and
dedication of the 1-581 Interchange at Valley View - Phase I and Valley View
Boulevard Extended.
Bo
The City Manager or the Assistant City Manager and the City Clerk to execute an
agreement, substantially similar to Attachment B, approved as to form by the City
Attomey, with the Roanoke City School Board, related to properties needed for road
construction.
The Mayor, City Manager, and other appropriate City officials to sign appropriate
documents to provide for the dedication of 10,880 sq. fi., more or less, of permanent
right-of-way and 24,044 sq. ft., more or less, of temporary construction easement to
the Commonwealth of Virginia and/or VDOT for the 1-581 Interchange, as shown

for street purposes of 26,554 sq. fi., more or less, of permanent right-of-way, and
12,052 sq. ft., more or less, of a 20-foot temporary construction easement for Valley
View Boulevard Extended as shown on Attachment 1 of the Agreement with the
School Board.
D. Appropriate or transfer the following funding for this project:
Appropriate $1,350,000 from undesignated Capital Funds to a new Capital
Projects Fund account entitled "Huff Lane School Improvements."
Transfer a total of $6,700,000 from 1996 Public Improvement Bonds
Account ($4,400,000 from 008-052-9701-9191 and $2,300,000 from

ATTACHMENT "B"
AGREEMENT
This Agreement is dated
Virginia, a Municipal Corporation
, 1997, by and between City of Roanoke,
organized and existing under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia (City), and the Roanoke City School Board, a political
subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia (Board).
WHEREAS, the City has determined that certain portions of property located at
Huff Lane Micro Village Magnet School (Huff Lane School) and at Round Hill Primary
School (Round Hill School) and identified on plans attached hereto as attachment 1
(Exhibit dated June 2, 1997) and attachment 2 (plat dated May 20, 1997, and identified
as plan no. 6353-A) are required for road development and improvement; and
WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the portions of the properties mentioned
above will no longer be needed for educational purposes and can be returned to the full
control and dominion of the City if the City will agree to provide certain funding and take
certain measures to enhance the learning environment at Huff Lane School and Round Hill
School and to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the children at those schools; and
WHEREAS, the City has agreed to provide certain funding and take certain
measures to enhance the learning environment and the safety at Huff Lane School and
Round Hill School.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
contained herein, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:
Section 1. Distance of Road Extension from Huff lane School.
The road curbing of the new Valley View Boulevard Extended (road extension) will
be at least 59.4 feet from any part of the current Huff Lane School classroom building.
Furthermore, no portion of the Huff Lane School property being undedicated and to be
used as public right-of-way by the City will be less than 42.4 feet from the current Huff
Lane School classroom building. However, the one story ..brick extension building (not
currently being used as a classroom) closest to the road extension will be closer to the road
extension and the undedicated property, as shown on attachment 1. The Board, at its
discretion, will determine the future disposition and use of the brick extension building.
Also, the Board agrees to allow and will concur in allowing the area shown as a twenty
(20) foot temporary construction easement on attachment 1 to be used by the City or other
entities during the construction of the road extension and related_ improvements.._ The
posted speed limit on the road extension located on that portion of the Huff_ Lane School
property being undedicated and used as public right-of-way shall not exceed 30 miles per
hour.
S~ion 2. Entrance to Huff Lane School. ,
The City will provide for the realignment of the Huff Lane School entrance with
the intersection of Huff Lane N.W. and Vancouver Drive to improve .visibility and
vehicular access to the Huff Lane School property, and the.. Board agrees to cooperate with
the City in any such realignment process. Construction of such improvements will be
2
completed by August 25, 1998 or some other date mutually agreed upon by the
Superintendent of Schools (Superintendent) and the City Manager.
Section 3. Additional Si~,ns.
After the preliminary design of the Huff Lane School entrance described in Section
2 above is complete, the City's Traffic Engineer will conduct a study to determine the type
of school warning signs and/Or signals along Huff Lane N.W. and Vancouver Drive. The
signs or signals that are required as a result of the study will be installed by the City at
its expense prior to the start of the 1998-99 school year on August 31, 1998.
Section 4. Timing of Construction Adjacent to Huff Lane School,
To avoid disruption in the instructional climate of Huff Lane School, construction
of the road extension and improvements on the property being undedicated adjacent to
Huff Lane School will occur after June 10, 1998, (the close of the 1997-98 school year)
or in some other time frame that is mutually agreed upon between the Superintendent and
the City Manager. All construction work will be substantially completed by October 1,
1998, at which time the temporary construction easement will terminate.
~ Buffer Wall for Huff lane School.
A buffer wall eight (8) feet in height of solid masonry construction with appropriate
landscaping will be provided between Huff Lane School and the road extension. The
buffer wall shall extend for the entire length of the easterly boundary of the property being
released by the Board as shown on attachment 1. The bottom four (4) feet of the wall will
be reinforced so as to try to prevent vehicles from crashing through the wall.
3
Furthermore, the buffer wall will be connected to an eight (8) foot vinyl-mated chain link
fence along the berm adjacent to the Huff Lane School's existing parking lot. The top of
the berm will contain evergreen
landscaping along the buffer wall.
trees and other landscaping that compliments the
The final design of the buffer wall, fence, berm, and
landscaping will be subject to approval by the Superintendent, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld. These improvements will be completed by October 1, 1998.
Section 6. Sound and Dust Control for Construction.
(A) The new 1-581 Interchange adjacent to Round Hill School will be
constructed, at City expense by the Virginia Department of Transportation's (VDOT's)
contractor, Said construction shall be substantially completed by November 1, 1998, at
which time the. temporary construction easement shall terminate. The City will have
VDOT include, sound and dust control measures meeting VDOT standards in its contract
with its contractor to protect the instructional climate of Round Hill School. The City will
designate a liaison between the Round Hill School principal, the City, VDOT, and the
VDOT contractor to respond to any construction i~ues referred to the City by the Round
Hill School principal.
(B). If requested by the Superintendent, the City will use its best efforts to
provide that similar sound and dust control rneasur~ be taken for construction on the
property being undedicated at Huff Lane School.
Section 7. Fence Barrier for Round Hill School.
The City will provide for an eight (8) foot vinyl-coated chain link fence to be
constructed along the property line adjacent to the Round Hill School property and the new
1-581 Interchange exit ramp and access road. A double row of white pines or other
coniferous trees, with a minimum height of 8 feet, will be planted along the chain link
fence as a landscape buffer. The final design of the landscaping will be subject to
approval by the Superintendent,. such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The fence
barrier shall be in place by August 31, 1998. The landscaping shall be in place no later
than November 1, 1998.
Section 8. Tem_norary Construction Easement at Round Hill School.
The Board agrees to consent to and Will concur in allowing the area shown as a
42.65 foot temporary construction easement on attachment 2, on the Round Hill School
property, to be used by the City, VDOT, VDOT's contractor, or other entities during the
construction of the new 1-581 Interchange, the road extension, and related improvements.
Section 9' Maintenance of Ri~ts-0f-Wav and Adjacent L_a~ndscanin~.
All City street rights-of-way adjacent to either Huff Lane School or Round Hill
School, including any buffer wall, berm, fencing, and landscaping in such fights-of-way,
will be maintained by the City in a quality manner appropriate for the high standards to
which the project is being designed and constructed. This will include regular mowing as
well as regular replacement of landscape plantings on an as-needed basis. However, the
5
portion of Round Hill School property being undedicated as shown on attachment 2 will
ultimately be dedicated to VDOT for part of the new 1-581 Interchange project and that
area will be maintained by VDOT in accordance with VDOT standards.
Section 10. Easements.
The City has no known need at this time for any additional easements over the
remaining properties of Huff Lane School and Round Hill School. Furthermore, as to the
construction of public utilities in the public right-of-way adjacent to Huff Lane School, the
City will use its best efforts to assure that any above ground public utilities will be located
so as to have the least possible effect on the instructional climate of that School. The City
also agrees that the Superintendent, for and on behalf of the Board, will have the right to
approve any plats executed by the City as owner and dedicating any of the former Huff
Lane School property as a right-of-way to the public, which approval will not be
unreasonably withheld by the Superintendent.
(A) Since the buildings at Huff Lane School and Round Hill School will need
certain improvements to enhance the learning environment and safety at those schools in
light of the road extension and the construction of the new 1-581 Interchange, the City will
timely provide the Board with funds for improvements deemed necessary in the discretion
of the Board, but limited to central air conditioning and replacement of necessary windows
at both schools and adding a bus loop and additional parking at Huff Lane School, such
funds not to exceed the total amount of $1,350,000. However, the cost of these
6
improvements shall be subject to the approval of the City Manager, such approval not to
be unreasonably withheld. If the total project cost for these improvements exceeds
$1,350,000 the Superintendent and City Manager will develop a mutually agreed solution
to fund the additional cost.
(B) Except as set forth in this Section 11 and in Section 12, the Board will not
be responsible for funding the items (such as, but not limited to the buffer wall, fencing,
landscaping, etc.) set forth in this Agreement, and the City will provide the funding,
directly or indirectly.
Section 12. Undedieation of School Pro_nerty.
In view of the City's undertaking to provide funding and certain measures to
enhance the learning environment and safety at Huff Lane School and Round Hill School
as mentioned in this Agreement, the Board agrees to take appropriate and necessary action
to consent to and return the portions of the properties identified on attachment 1 as surplus
property at Huff Lane School and on attachment 2 as permanent street right-of-way and
limited access line at Round Hill School to the full control and dominion of the City and
declare that such property is no longer needed for educational purposes.
If any term of this Agreement is found to be void or invalid, such invalidity shall
not affect the remaining terms of this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and
effect:'

Members of council, my name is Andrew Friedman of 2623 Vancouver Dr. NW. Please listen
carefully to what I have to say.
For a long time you have been led to believe that there are no alternatives to the proposed road
known as the Valley View Extension. On behalf of the Dorchester Ct./Round Hill Neighborhood
Alliance, I will dismantle the assumptions behind that belief and open the door for alternative
routes.
Mattern and Craig's design for the road conforms to 4 parameters which they were given in
advance. One of these parameters was a "35mph design speed". The design speed affects the
types of curves which can be drawn: the higher the speed the more gradual must be the curves
which in turn eliminates certain route options. Slower design speeds put a greater load on the
road surface.
I spoke with Jimmie Mills, State Location and Design Engineer for VDOT in Richmond. I asked
him if 35mph design speed was required once cars leave the interchange and enter the
extension road. His answer was thus and, with his express permission, I quote, "Barring safety,
as long as you have a city street that's not controlled or limited access, you can do just about
anything as long as it's not a safety issue"
Now, the Director of Public Works, Mr. Clark, publicly stated at the last meeting that Senator
Warner would not have approved the interchange unless the Valley View Extension road
provided "direct access" to the airport, rm still not sure what he means by that because the
VDOT Interchange Justification Study does not even mention that term. Neither does the
interchange approval letter dated August 23, 1996 from the FHWA Region 3 office to the Chief
Engineer of VDOT.
Members of Council, I direct your attention to a letter I've sent to Senator Warner asking him,
"Did you indeed specifically require direct airport access for approval of the interchange?
If not, were you requiring adherence to general intermodal guidelines set forth in ISTEA? (Keep
in mind that this road is not utilizing any federal or state funds. It is utilizing city and developer
monies)".
I am still awaiting an answer.
I have spoken with Fred Kiiffner, Transportation Engineer Program Supervisor at VDOT, whose
name appears on the interchange approval letter. He has made it clear that the issue was not
direct access but relief of congestion at the Hershberger interchange which in turn leads to the
airport. That would seem to fulfill the intermodal concept of ISTEA. And of course we already
have a direct route from Valley View Mall to the airport. By the way, he also mentioned that
VDOT strongly prefers that roads leading from an interchange remain on public property.
Now, you might say to me that the proffers which Faison agreed to in the rezoning agreement
pretty much set out the course of the road as shown in Exhibit C. The curve of that road is such
that by the time it approaches the park, it is already too close and headed directly toward the
school.
Members of council, I call your attention to item 9 of the proffers in the rezoning agreement which
reads:
The property owner shall dedicate that portion of the right-of-way located on the
Property which is required for the construction of the interchange on 1-581 and for
the access road, Valley View Boulevard Extended, in the general configuration
shown on the attached Exhibit C and shall construct the access road upon final
agreement with the Virginia Department of Transportation, the City of Roanoke and
affected property owners.
Since the layout of the road in exhibit C conforms very closely to the road as it appears in the
Faison Watts Traffic Impact Study exhibit 3, and since that study is dated November-December
1996, and since public meetings on the rezoning were not held until January 23rd, 1997, I
believe we can conclude that the affected property owners as a whole have had virtually no input
on the routing of this road. And for the reasons I have already mentioned, they have also been
led to beleive there are no alternatives.
Therefore, let it be public record that, based on the current configuration of this road, the
overwhelming majority of affected property owners are not yet prepared to make a final
agreement with VDOT, the City of Roanoke, or Faison.
We do firmly believe that a final agreement can be reached which will satisfy ALL parties
involved. As a first step in that direction, and in light of what you now know to be true, I request
that you vote no on the current agenda item. I furthermore request that a Capacity Analysis be
done by Wilbur Smith Assoc. on the proposed Valley View Extension Road, comparing 35mph
speeds with less than 35mph speeds while taking into account the 3 traffic lights, in order to
determine the allowable curves given the predicted traffic on that road.
Finally, I request that noise and air studies be performed to determine a safe and workable
distance of the road from the Huff Lane Park and School. Thank you.
''.-581/Valley View Boulevard Interchange Justification Stud)/
In the vicinity of the proposed interchanges, 1-581 is expected to operate at LOS "F" in
both the Year 2020 AM and PM peak hours. As with the Year 2000 analysis, these levels
of service are consistent with the levels of service experienced on 1-581 in the vicinity of
the U.S. 460 interchange, and the levels of service at Hershberger Road, if no interchange
is provided.~( Thus, the main operational benefit of the build interchange-a-lternatives is thee
~___~'relief of the Hershberger Interchange,
Conclusions
Additional access to 1-581 is required to relieve the poor levels of service experienced at
the 1-5811Hershberger Road interchang.ej'"~'his analysis has sh-o-~-t'l~ th~-No Buiid and
Overpass Alternatives do not provide the intended relief to the Hershberger Road
interchange. Only the build interchange options provide significant improvements to the
operation of 1-581 at the Hershberger Road interchange. All three alternatives produce
positive benefits to 1-581. Therefore it is recommended that the City of Roanoke and the
Virginia Department of Transportation evaluate this report and hold discussions to choose
a preferred alternative to pursue approval by the Federal Highway Administration.
Wilbur Smith AssociQtes Page 84
' ' I--5-~/Valley View Boulevard Interchan~le Justification Study Supplement
VI. CONCLUSION
The proposed new interchange at 1-581 and the extension of Valley View Boulevard will provide
much-needed relief to traffic congestion on 1-581 and Hershberger Road. Presently, the only access
point to Valley View Mall is located on Hershberger Road. The new interchange will provide another
major access point to the mall from 1-581, as well as another route to the Roanoke Regional Airport.
Phase I of the project, consisting of a half-diamond interchange, is expected to sufficiently
accommodate future traffic growth until at least the year 2010. The ultimate scheme (Phase II),
consisting of a full diamond interchange and collector-distributor roads from Valley View Boulevard
to Hershberger Road, should provide a long-term solution to traffic congestion on this section of 1-
581. By relieving future congestion on 1-581 and improving accessibility of the Valley View Activity
Center, the project will have a positive impact on the entire Roanoke Valley.

Attention:

Dear Mr. Browder:
The 1-581 Valley View Boulevard interchange access point request
has been approved subject to compliance with applicable Federal
requirements. Alternate F, the full diamond interchange with
collector-distributor (C-D) roads and no connection to 10tn
street, has been approved and is the only alternative that will
serve all traffic movements and be capable of accommodating the
future projected traffic. We understand that the improvements
will be split into two phases. The first phase will be the
construction of a partial interchange to the south servicing the
Valley View Mall and the surrounding area. The second phase will
be the construction of a C-D road system tying this interchange
into the Hershberger Road interchange to the north.
During discussions with the department, VDOT agreed to the
placement of appropriate signs on the interstate (such as "No
direct re-entry to Northbound 1-581") to notify motorist about
the partial interchange during Phase I. In the interim, VDOT
also agreed to consider minimizing mainline weaving at
Hershberger Road interchange as much as is operationally
possible. During Phase II, narrowing of the southbound C-D
roadway to one lane prior to entry into the mainline would be
considered. VDOT also agreed to consider the more economical
approach to not develop the northbound C-D road_~Lru~--]Ynorth of
the new interchange if sufficient distance is available to handle
the weave between the interchanges. Revisions such as those
listed above will not change this access approval.

Senator John Warner
Dear Senator Warner,
I realize your time is valuable so I will get right to the point. I represent the Dorchester
Court/Round Hill Neighborhood Alliance here in the city of Roanoke.
Bill Clark, Director of Public Works for the City of Roanoke said publicly at a neighborhood
meeting on Tuesday evening that you would not have approved the new 1581 interchange (south
of the existing Hershberger Rd exit) unless there were direct access to the airport from the
interchange. He is using this to justify the proposed route of the road (currently referred to as the
Valley View Extension Road) coming off the new interchange. This road, in its current proposed
route, will pass within 60 feet of the back of Huff Lane Microvillage - an elementary school of
reknown here - and run parallel to the edge of the school playground and Huff Lane park at a
distance of 25 feet with only a chain link fence and a stand of grass in between. This 4 lane road
is predicted to reach
35,000 vehicular trips daily!
The vast majority of residents here are for the interchange, but they are overwhelmingly opposed
to the proposed route of the road, which is up for a vote by City Council THIS
MONDAY. They are convinced it will significantly erode the quality of life and the value of their
homes at the expense of further Valley View Mall development. We love our neighborhood and
want it to become a model community. We would like to see the road
moved farther from the school and park.
Did you indeed specifically require direct airport access for approval of the interchange?
If not, were you requiring adherence to general intermodal guidelines set forth in ISTEA?
(Keep in mind that this road is not utilizing any federal or state funds. It is utilizing city and
developer monies)
Please reply either in writing or by e-mail (droidle@ix. netcom.com) ASAP. A gem of this great
state depends on it. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Andrew Friedman

1-581 INTERCHANGE CONSULTANT SERVICES
I. J~ on the subject in chronological order is as follows:
1-581 interchanae imDrovements were endorsed by Roanoke City Council on
March 18, 1996. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)
subsequently included projects in its Six Year Improvements Program for a
partial interchange on 1-581 approximately one mile south of Hershberger
Road. City Council had previously approved $5 million for the 1996 Bond
Issue for the cost of the partial interchange.
Mattern & Craia, Inc. was selected to provide consultant enaineering desian
services on the project. A contract for this purpose was authorized by
Roanoke City Council on December 16, 1996.
II. Current situation is as follows:
public comment has urged the City to consider including bikeway and
pedestrian facilities as part of the interchange construction.
Chenqe Order No. 4 has been neootiated with Mattern and Craig, Inc. to
provide additional design services to provide plans and specifications for the
desired bikeway and pedestrian facilities.
TwQ alternate bids will be solicited from construction contractors for the
proposed interchange both with and without the bikeway and pedestrian
facilities.
D. A summary of the Mattern & Craig, Inc. consultant contract follows:

W. Robert Herbert, City Manager
City of Roanoke
215 Church Avenue, S.W., Room 364
Roanoke, VA 24011-1591
Dear Mr. Herbert:
The Garden City Neighborhood Park Committee was formed as a result of several requests
that had been made to the Roanoke City Parks and Recreation Department for proposed
development projects in Garden City Park. The members of the ad hoc delegation was composed
of representatives that could be impacted by the proposals. Please refer to the attached list of
members. The purpose of the committee was to evaluate the park related proposals and attempt
to address or resolve questions before submitting a recommendation to the city for action.
Initially the Garden City Recreation Club forwarded a communication dated March 18,
1996 to Roanoke City Parks and Recreation seeking permission to construct a
concession/storage/restroom building and install a practice batting cage in Garden City Park. On
May 8, 1996, a meeting was conducted with members of Parks and Recreation staff, Garden City
Recreation Club and Garden City Civic League to review the proposal in more detail. Many
questions and concerns were raised and a second meeting was held on August 1, 1996 after
researching some of the issues brought forward during the first meeting. Due to the magnitude
of the proposal and the impact that the projects could have on the Garden City Community, it was
decided to have a public informational meeting in order that the residents would be aware of the
proposal and have an opportunity to comment.
On September 26, 1996, a Garden City Neighborhood Meeting was held at Garden City
Elementary School and was attended by approximately sixty (60) interested people. As a result
of the neighborhood meeting it was agreed that a representative group of attendees would be
convened to review the issues and that an independent facilitator would conduct the group
~neetings.

Since March 1997, the members of the Garden City Neighborhood Park Committee have
met on five (5) occasions in an effort to present a recommendation that represents the best
interests of the community. In addition to the proposed building and batting cage, several other
projects surfaced for consideration such as a retaining wall to control erosion, a paved path that
would connect the existing walks, a picnic shelter, different uses for the tennis courts and other
potential park activities. The committee decided early in the process to evaluate each project
based upon concerns that may be encountered. Those issues included: parking, traffic flow,
funding, vandalism, impact on adjacent property owners, utilities, drainage, maintenance, permits
and regulations.
The Garden City Neighborhood Park Committee is pleased to report that it does endorse
the proposal that would allow the Garden City Recreation Club to construct a
concession/storage/restroom building and a practice batting cage in Garden City Park. This
recommendation is being offered for your consideration and approval in a timely manner so that
it may be forwarded to Roanoke City Council for formal action on July 21, 1997 at the 7:00 p.m.
public hearing.
The committee recognizes that there are several other park related issues and uses that will
require additional work by some committee members, the community and the city. However, it
was determined by the committee, that by seeking the approval of this recommendation first, it
would be a vital step in moving forward with the process and in making Garden City Park a better
place for all to visit and enjoy. Your favorable regard for the recommendation presented by this
committee will be appreciated.

Dear Mr. Coates:
The Garden City Recreation Club was formed in 1968 to provide a variety of quality youth
athletic and recreational activities and opportunities for boys and girls from ages 6 to 17. Our
nonprofit organization currently offers programs in Baseball, T-ball, Softball, Soccer, Basketball
and Cheerleading for youngsters living in the Garden City area of the City. We register
approximately 350 children a year in our various programs.
The organization has utilized the Garden City Park ballfield for our soccer, softball and baseball
practices and games for over 27 years. The City recently improved the site by: constructing a
new play area; replacing the backstop and fencing; and providing new wooden stairs from the
school to the park.
Our purpose in writing you is to express the appreciation of this Club for the improvements that
have been made and to formally request permission from the City of Roanoke to allow our
organization to construct a concession/storage/restroom building at the Garden City Park ballfield
behind the baseball backstop and install a practice batting cage parallel to the third base fence line.
The proposed building would address a pressing need of ours to have sufficient space for the
storage of off season equipment. The ability to provide concessions at ball games would also help
to offset some of our program expenses.
We are willing to work closely with the various City departments to insure that the design and
construction of the building will be adequate for our needs, safe for the users and attractive for
the neighborhood. Towards this project, the Club has budgeted $7,000.00 for the purchase of
building materials, and we have obtained the commitment from a number of local contractors and
volunteers willing to donate their time, labor, equipment and materials.

We believe that the proposed additions will enhance the overall quality of our programs, vastly
improve the use of the facility and benefit thousands of participants and sponsors in the Garden
City area of the City.
Your utmost consideration in granting permission to the Garden City Recreation Club to construct
the concession/storage/restroom building and install a practice batting cage at the Garden City
Park will be greatly appreciated. Should you, any Council Member or the City Staff have any
questions or require additional information with regard to our request, please do not hesitate to

The Honorable Mayor David A. Bowers
and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Request from GFW Construction, represented by Carolyn H. Furrow,
Attorney, that property located on Orange Avenue, N. E., containing
approximately 1.96 acres, and bearing Official Tax No. 7140114 be rezoned
from LM, Light Manufacturing District to C-2, General Commercial District,
such rezoning to be subject to certain conditions.
I. Background:
Petition to rezone from LM to C-2 was filed on 5/8/97. Purpose of the rezoning
request is to allow the construction of a retail commercial building.
First Amended Petition to rezone was filed on 6/3/97. Proffered conditions of the
rezoning are:
That the property will be developed in substantial conformity with the
development plan prepared by Lang Engineering, dated 5/8/97, a copy of
which is attached to the Petition for Rezoning as Exhibit B, subject to any
changes required by the City during site plan review.
That the property will not be used for a neighborhood or highway
convenience store, a fast-food restaurant, or outdoor advertisin~
Co
Planning Commission public hearing was held on 6/4/97. Mrs. Carolyn Furrow,
Attorney, represented the petitioner and presented the rezoning request to the
Commission. Mr. Wayne Gold, adjacent property owner, addressed the
Commission in support of the rezoning. He advised that the property was unsightly
now and that retail development would be an improvement. He expressed his
concern for removing rock on the property, as he wanted to ensure that his existing
building would not be adversely affected. The Planning Commission voted 6-0 to
approve the rezoning from LM to C-2. Messrs. Butler, Chrisman, Manetta, Rife and
Mrs. Coles and Duerk voted in favor of the motion; Mr. Hill was absent.

II. Issues:
Ao
Zoning of the property is currently LM. Light Manufacturing. Adjacent zoning on
the same side of Route 460 is LM. Zoning across Route 460 is RM-2 and C-2.
Bo
Land use of the subject property is vacant land_ Adjacent land uses include a
restaurant, multi-family apartments, Statesman Industrial Park, and other industrial
and commercial uses along the highway corridor.
Utilities for water, sewer, and storm water are available within the Route 460
corridor.
Do
Transportation improvements tO Route 460 are planned for the future The 1995-
2015 Thoroughfare Plan recommends a widening of the highway to at least six lanes
with a right-of-way width of 120 feet. Although the widening is not currently in the
City's Six Year Improvement Plan, the project is considered a number one priority
and is expected to be designed and implemented within the next ten years. Access to
the subject property will have to be provided by the existing highway configuration;
no additional median cuts will be permitted.
Eo
Industrial land within the Ciw, and particularly in the Route 460 corridor, has been
identified as an important asset for future development, employment, and tax
revenue. Conservation is advocated for valuable industrial land and quality industrial
development is encouraged. The City recently expanded its Urban Enterprise Zone in
this area which provides additional local and state incentives to industrial businesses.
Fo
Neighborhood organization of this area is the Wildwood Civic League. They have
been notified of this rezoning request. Staffhas discussed the proposal with a
representative. At present, no concerns have been identified.
G. Comprehensive Plan recommends that:
Because of the limited amount of existing industrially zoned land in Roanoke,
the comprehensive plan and related ordinances should protect these areas by
restricting uses to only industrial categories.
Commercial, industrial, and residential growth and development should be
encouraged through public and private actions to ensure a strong and
diversified economic base and employment opportunities for all of Roanoke's
citizens.
°
Development of new or existing commercial and industrial areas in the city
should be carefully planned and designed to promote quality development and
good land use.
Members of Council
Page 3
III. Alternatives:
A. City Council approve the rezoning request.
Zoning of the sub_iect property is changed from LM to C-2 with conditions
which address the manner in which development occurs on the property and
limits some higher intensity commercial uses. The proffered reversion clause
should be removed from the request, as it has been determined that such
clauses are not enforceable.
Land use of the property is restricted tO development according to the
proffered plan. The property may not be used for a fast food restaurant,
Convenience store and outdoor advertising.
Utilities are available and required storm water management can be
accommodated.
Transportation improvements planned for Route 460 can be accommodated
within the existing right-of-way. It appears that the required setbacks for the
building and parking can also be accommodated. East-bound access to the
property_ will be difficult in that there is no direct median cut to service the
proposed development and a future cut will not be permittedl
Industrial land is this area can be valuable. However, the subject property is
not considered ideal industrial land due to its topography and its proximity to
commercial development along Ronte 460.
Neighborhood organization has not provided any official comments on this
rezoning request.
7. Comprehensive Plan can be followed,
B. City_ Council deny the rezoning request.
1. Zoning of the property remains LM. Adjacent zoning is LM.
2. Land use of the property would continue to be restricted to industrial uses.
3. Utilities still available.
4. Transportation improvements could still be accommodated.
5. Industrial land conserved.
Members of Council
Page 4
6. Neighborhood not affected.
7. Comprehensive Plan could still be followed.
IV. Recommendation:
Planning Commission recommended by a vote of 6-0 (Mr. Hill absent) that City_ Council
approve the proposed rezoning request. The proffered conditions address future
development and use of the property. The proposed zoning change is consistent with adjacent
land uses and development patterns on Route 460. Although the property is located within
the City's Urban Enterprise Zone, the subject property is not particularly valuable for
industrial development.

IN RE:
Rezoning of a tract of land lying on
Route 460 East, tax map #7140114, from L-
M to C-2, such rezoning to be subject to
certain conditions.
TO THE HONORABLE MAYORANDMEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ROANOKE:
The Petitioner, GFW Construction, is the contract
purchaser of land in the City of Roanoke containing 1.96
acres, more or less, located on Route 460 East, Tax Map #
7140114. Said tract is currently zoned L-M. A map of the
property to be rezoned is attached as Exhibit A.
Pursuant to Section 36.1-690, Code of the City of Roanoke
(1979), as amended, the Petitioner requests that the said
property be rezoned from L-M District to C-2 District, subject
to certain conditions set forth below, for the purpose of
constructing a building which will house up to two retail
shops such as a carpet outlet and a shop which will sell
goods, including clothing.
The Petitioner believes the rezoning of the said tract of
land will further the intent and purposes of the City,s Zoning
Ordinance and its comprehensive plan, in that it will create
a viable retail use in an area where retail type businesses
are appropriate. The tract is currently vacant. The
Petitioner recognizes the City's desire to maintain L-M zoned
property but believes that this property is unsuited to L-M
uses because of factors such as size and topography.
The Petitioner hereby proffers and agrees that if the
said tract is rezoned as requested, that the rezoning will be
subject to, and that the Petitioner will abide by, the
following conditions:
1. That the property will be developed in substantial
conformity with the development plan prepared by Lang
Engineering, dated 5/8/97, a copy of which is attached to the
Petition for Rezoning as Exhibit B, subject to any changes
required by the City during site plan review.
2. That the property will not be used for a neighborhood
or highway convenience store, a fast-food restaurant or
outdoor advertising.
Attached as Exhibit C are the names, addresses and tax
numbers of the owner or owners of all lots or property
immediately adjacent to immediately across a street or road
from the property to be rezoned.
WHEREFORE, the Petitioner requests that the above
described tract be rezoned as requested in accordance with the
provisions of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Roanoke.

IN THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROANOKE, vIRGINIA
IN RE:
Rezoning of a tract of land lying on Route 460
East, tax map #7140114, from L-M to C-2, such
rezoning to be subject to certain conditions.
TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ROANOKE:
The Petitioner, GFW Construction, is the contract purchaser of
land in the City of Roanoke containing 1.96 acres, more or less,
located on Route 460 East, Tax Map # 7140114. Said tract is
currently zoned L-M. A map of the property to be rezoned is
attached as Exhibit A.
Pursuant to Section 36.1-690, Code of the City of Roanoke
(1979), as amended, the Petitioner requests that the said property
be rezoned from L-M District to C-2 District, subject to certain
conditions set forth below, for the purpose of constructing a
building which will house up to two retail shops such as a carpet
outlet and a shop which will sell goods, including clothing.
The Petitioner believes the rezoning of the said tract of
land will further the intent and purposes of the City's Zoning
Ordinance and its comprehensive plan, in that it will create a
viable retail use in an area where retail type businesses are
appropriate. The tract is currently vacant. The Petitioner
recognizes the City's desire to maintain L-M zoned property but
believes that this property is unsuited to L-M uses because of
factors such as size and topography.
The Petitioner hereby proffers and agrees that if the said
tract is rezoned as requested, that the rezoning will be subject
to, and that the Petitioner will abide by, the following
conditions:
1. That the property will be developed in substantial
conformity with the development plan prepared by Lang Engineering,
dated 5/8/97, a copy of which is attached to the Petition for
Rezoning as Exhibit B, subject to any changes required by the City
during site plan review.
2. That if no building permit has been issued and no
construction commenced within 3 years from the date of final zoning
approval, the zoning shall revert to L-M without further action by
City Council.
3. That the property will not be used for a convenience
store, a fast-food restaurant or outdoor advertising.
Attached as Exhibit C are the names, addresses and tax
numbers of the owner or owners of all lots or property immediately
adjacent to immediately across a street or road from the property
to be rezoned.
WHEREFORE, the Petitioner requests that the above described
tract be rezoned as requested in accordance with the provisions of
the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Roanoke.
Respectfully submitted this ~%~ day of ~~ , 1997.
Respectfully submitted,
Carolyn H. Furrow

Re~
Permit-By-Rule No. 105, BFI Roanoke Valley Materials Recovery Facility, City of
Roanoke
Dear Mr. Farrell:
I wish to thank you for talking with my office last week concerning the above matter. As
you know fi.om that conversation, the City has received citizen complaints concerning the 13FI
facility located at 341 24th Street, NW, in the City of Roanoke. The City has also just recently been
made aware that BFI has requested an amendment to its current permit to allow it to increase the
tonnage of solid waste handled at the facility fi.om 210 tpd to 350 tpd. Please note that the City
objects to this permit amendment.
When the City was originally asked to provide a certification for the facility, it was the City's
understanding that the facility would be used as a recycling facility and not as a transfer station. It
should also be noted that certification fi.om the City was dated June 27, 1994, while the application
fi.om BFI was not filed until July 1996, over two years after the request for certification. The City
questions whether such certification would still be valid two years aRer it was given. Furthermore,
the certification refers to the facility as a materials recovery facility, which the City's Zoning
Administrator, who signed the certificate, understood to be a recycling facility that was being
requested by BFI. The City understands that the BFI facility is possibly being used' as a transfer
station for solid waste as opposed to a recycling facility, something that the City never consented
to or certified.
In view of the above questions and issues, the City respectfully requests DEQ to determine
if the BFI facility is being used in accordance with its permit fi.om DEQ and to advise the City if
DEQ considers the certification from the City to be a valid certification in light ofthe fact that it was
over two years old when the BFI application was submitted to DEQ. The City would like to know
if the City can withdraw the certification, should the City deem that appropriate, and what
procedures would be used to withdraw the certification. The City is also currently undertaking a
review of the zoning issues and land use concerning the current use of the facility by BFI.

As mentioned above, the City objects to the amendment of the BFI permit to increase the
tonnage at the facility. Please advise us what further actions the City needs to take to note its
objection this amendment and if any hearing may be requested.
I understand that you will see that this matter is given prompt attention and appreciate your
assistance in this matter. If you have any questions, please contact me.

Gentlemen:
At a regular meeting of the Council of the City of Roanoke on Monday, August 4, 1997,
Council Member Swain referred to operations of BFI Roanoke Valley Materials Recovery
Facility, 341 24th Street, N. W., and expressed concern with regard to a compliance report
prepared by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality in which the facility received
numerous marginal or unsatisfactory ratings. He called attention to concerns expressed
by residents of the area regarding dust and odor from the facility, and alluded to a request
of BFI to increase the processing of refuse from approximately 210 tons to 350 tons per
day. He requested that the City Manager investigate the matter and obtain a clarification
of definitions of criteria set forth in the DEQ compliance report.
Vice-Mayor Wyatt inquired as to whether BFI is in compliance with its license permit to
operate as a recycling facility.
On motion, duly seconded and adopted, the matter was referred to you to take the
necessary actions to protect the interests of the citizens of the City of Roanoke.
Sincerely,

Re:
Permit-By-Rule No. 105, BFI Roanoke Valley Materials Recovery Facility, City of
Roanoke
Dear Colonel Swain:
Regarding the concerns you expressed about the compliance inspection report from the
Virginia Department of Environmental Quality dated May 21, 1997, in the above matter, my office
has had,an opportunity to talk with the inspector who prepared the report, Katherine Glass.
According to the information provided by Ms. Glass on August 21, 1997, the BFI facility received
the maximum number of points available for compliance with its permit. This entitled it to a
satisfactory rating, the highest rating available on the report. Ms. Glass indicated that no violations
were noted during the inspection, and no points were deducted because no deficiencies were
detected by the inspector.
The report form is confusing. However, Ms. Glass said that the explanation of the criteria
letters under the note indicates that an "M" under the heading "criteria," means "maximum point
value available." BFI received the maximum points allowed during the May 21, 1997, inspection.
Ms. Glass informed my office that an inspection of the facility was recently completed on
August 6, 1997, and the BFI facility again received the maximum points available. There was one
comment that would be noted in the report to be issued that the facility needed to keep the dust down
across the road where the trucks are parked, but Ms. Glass indicated that BFI was going to take care
of that problem and no points were deducted for that item. Ms. Glass further stated that she had not
received any complaints about the BFI facility and that she was only aware of one complaint that
involved air quality. That complaint was handled by the local DEQ inspector for air quality last
spring. That inspector brought it to BFI's attention, the problem was corrected, and he closed the
complaint as being resolved.
If the citizens detect any problems with the BFI facility, they should make the DEQ aware
of those problems by contacting the inspector, Ms. Katherine Glass, at the local DEQ office,
telephone number 562-6700, and reporting any problems to that office.
The Honorable Carroll E. Swain

This office is currently reviewing zoning and land use issues as to the BFI facility with the
Zoning Administrator. The issue is whether the activities being conducted at the BFI facility are in
compliance with the current zoning ordinance. This may require further investigation of the facility
and a determination of the facts and substance of any complaints about the facility by the Zoning
Administrator.
I have written the DEQ, advising it of the City's concern about this facility. The letter
specifically puts the City on record as objecting to expansion of the facility. A copy of that letter
is enclosed.~for your information.
If you have any questions or need any further information, please contact me.
With kindest personal regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
Wiiburn C. Dibling, Jr.
