Dear Mayor Smith and Members of City Council:
Subject:
Approval of the 2002-2003
Consolidated Plan Annual
Update
Background:
In order to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment
Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funding, the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that entitlement localities such as the
City of Roanoke submit a 5-year Consolidated Plan and Annual Updates.
Considerations:
On April 11,2002, City Council received the proposed 2002-03 Annual Update as part of
the Recommended Resource Allocation Plan. The draft Annual Update was made
available for public review and comment for the 30-day period that began April 11 and
ended May 10, 2002. Opportunities for citizen input were provided at three public hearings
held January 10, March 28, and April 29, 2002. To ensure that the City's HUD fiscal year
begins on July 1, 2002, HUD must receive the Annual Update on May 15, 2002.
The funding for FY 2002-03 would be available from the following sources:
New 2002-03 HUD Entitlements
Estimated 2002-03 Program Income
Estimated Prior Year Excess Program Income
Estimated Prior Year Carry-over
Total HUD Funds
$ 3,068,000

CityWeb:www. ci.roanoke.va.us
The Honorable Mayor and Members of Council
May 13, 2002
Page 2
It is estimated that the $4.5 million in HUD funds indicated above will leverage as much as
an additional $4.8 million in other public and private funding. Thus, the total investment in
the activities included in Annual Update will be approximately $9.3 million.
Recommended Action:
Authorize the City Manager to submit the 2002-03 Consolidated Plan Annual Update, as
abstracted in the attached summary, to HUD for review and approval.

Background:
Subject:
Capital Improvement Program Update
for FY 2003-2007
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for Fiscal Years 2003-2007 is a plan
recommended for approval by City Council for capital expenditures to be incurred over
the next five years in order to address the priority long-term capital needs of Roanoke.
The CIP reflects the current status of projects which have previously been approved
and funded by City Council plus three new recommended projects, and is a revision to
the Fiscal Years 2002-2006 Capital Improvement Program approved by City Council on
June 18, 2001.
Considerations:
On April 15, 2002, City Council received the proposed Capital Improvement Program for
Fiscal Years 2003-2007 as part of the Recommended Resource Allocation Plan. The
Capital Improvement Program Summary Section in this document summarizes projects
and shows additional funding required.
The Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Years 2003-2007 is comprised of capital
projects with an estimated cost of project completion totaling $298,192,974. Three new
projects are included in this total that requires additional funding of $49,300,000:

Page 2 of 3
o Civic Center Improvements - Phase II - $14,941,020 - General obligation bonds
totaling $14.3 million would be issued to fund the project, with debt service being
funded from a 1.5% increase in the Admission Tax, a 5% Capital Improvements
Fee charged on admission to events at the Civic Facilities Complex, and
additional revenue from Civic Facilities operations.
o Fire/EMS Facility Improvements - $947,640 - City Council recently approved a
new EMS Fee Schedule that will generate additional revenue totaling $147,640
in FY 2003. This revenue would be used to supplement $800,000 currently
included in the CIP for land acquisitions, design and partial cash funding of the
first of three stations to be constructed. A future bond issue would be needed to
fund construction costs, with the Fire-EMS revenues being used to repay the
debt.
o Water Pollution Control - $35,000,000 - City Council has been briefed on the
need for plant improvements to enhance wet weather capacity. While the project
is still in its early stages, total cost is estimated to be $35 million, with Roanoke's
share being approximately $17.5 million. Financing details are still being
discussed, but an estimated 30% increase in sewer rates in FY 2004 will be
needed to fund the debt service payments required for this project.
Several actions are required of Council to continue implementation of the CIP at this
time.
Recommended Action:
Approve the following new capital projects recommended in this CIP update,
requiring additional funding of $49,300,000:
o Civic Center Improvements - Phase II
o Fire/EMS Facility Improvements
o Water Pollution Control (City share of project cost $17,500,000)
$14,941,020
947,640

project accounts established by the Director of Finance for the following projects:

Dear Mayor Smith and Members of City Council:
Subject:
Proposed Revenue
Changes
Background:
In the process of developing the Fiscal Year 2002-03 budget, each department
was asked to consider means by which they could reduce their overall budget by
decreasing expenditures and/or increasing revenues. These means would help
to mitigate the impact of decreases in state aid and generate needed savings
throughout the organization. In addition, departments were asked to review
current revenue structures and determine if alterations would be possible or
feasible to generate additional revenue and more closely mirror other localities.
A number of proposed revenue changes are incorporated in the Fiscal Year
2002-2003 budget, and are reflected in the budget ordinances presented for
adoption for Fiscal Year 2002-03.
Considerations:
Elimination of Seller's Discounts
The City Treasurer and Manager of Billings and Collections have recommended
the elimination of the Seller's Discount on Cigarette Taxes as well as the Seller's
Discount on Prepared Food and Beverage Tax. Currently, Roanoke provides a
7% discount on the Cigarette Tax and a 3% discount on the Prepared Food and
Beverage Tax. This discount originated as an incentive to vendors to help offset
the administrative cost of remitting tax collections to the City Treasurer. This
incentive to vendors is no longer deemed to be necessary to promote vendor
compliance. Based on a review of seven designated benchmark localities,
Roanoke is one of five localities that offers a discount on the Cigarette
r~oom 3(~4 Municipal South 215 Church Avenue, S.W, Roanoke, Virginia 24011-1591 (540) 853-2333 FAX (540) 853-1138

Honorable Mayor and Members of Council

Tax and one of four localities that offers a discount on the Prepared Food and
Beverage Tax.
New Fees Authorized by the 2002 General Assembly
Senate Bill Number 693 has authorized localities to assess a sum not to exceed
$5 as part of the costs in each criminal or traffic case in which the defendant is
convicted of a violation of any statute or ordinance. This sum is to be used to
support courthouse security. However, these provisions expire on July 1, 2004.
Senate Bill Number 406 has authorized localities to charge a processing fee not
to exceed $25 to any individual admitted to a county or city jail following
conviction. The funds are to be used by the local sheriff's office to defray the
costs of processing arrested persons into local jails.
The General Assembly of Virginia has amended and reenacted the Code of
Virginia to provide for required collection and DNA analysis of blood, saliva, or
tissue of every person convicted of a felony offense. A fee of twenty-five dollars
will be assessed as part of the costs of the criminal case resulting in the felony
conviction and one-half of the fee will be paid to the general fund of the state
treasury. No action by the City is necessary for this fee to be implemented.
New Fees Authorized by the Code of Virqini~
The Code of Virginia provides than any city may collect administrative costs
associated with debts submitted to the Department of Taxation for the Set-off
Debt Collection Program. The Code provides for a fee of $25 per claim.
Roanoke submits 31,000 claims per year to the State Department of Taxation as
part of the set-off debt collection program, however, payment of the claims is
dependent on whether the debtor files a tax return and has a refund that is not
"offset" by other creditors or localities. The $25 fee per claim will offset the 4%
administrative fee charged by the Commonwealth of Virginia for the set-off debt
collection program. The Department of Billings and Collections recommends the
institution of a fee of $25 per claim.
The Code of Virginia also provides that any locality may collect a fee to cover the
administrative costs of tax collection. The Code sets the fee at $25 for taxes
collected subsequent to judgment and at $20 for taxes collected subsequent to
filing a warrant or other legal document prior to judgment. The Department of
Billings and Collection recommends the institution of the $20 and $25 fees for
offset of administrative costs of delinquent tax collection.
Weed Lien Administrative Fee
Currently the City of Roanoke charges a $100 administrative fee for the
necessary abatement of weeds on private lots. The Code of Virginia allows for a
fee of $150 or 25% of the cost, whichever is less. The Department of Billings and
Honorable Mayor and Members of Council
May 13, 2002
Page 3
Collections recommends that the Weed Lien Administrative Fee be adjusted to
be in accordance with the Code of Virginia.
Interest Accrual Date for Delinquent Real Estate Tax
A change in the interest accrual date for delinquent real estate tax is
recommended to be consistent with personal property tax. Currently, the first
installment of current fiscal year Real Estate Tax is due October 5. A 10% late
payment penalty is applied on October 6 if the tax remains unpaid, and interest
charges begin accruing on July 1 of the next year. The second Installment for the
current fiscal year is due April 5 of the next year. A 10% late payment penalty is
added on April 6 and interest charges do not begin until July 1. With personal
property tax, interest begins accruing the first of the month following the tax due
date. It is recommended that interest be applied to delinquent payments of real
estate tax to begin accruing the first of the month following the tax due date,
consistent with the method used for personal property.
Late Payment Penalty for Parking Tickets
Currently the late payment penalty for parking violations is $10 and has remained
at this level for a minimum of 20 years. The late payment penalty is added to
violations paid 10 days or more after issuance of the notice of violation. Since
1993, the fine for parking violations has increased twice with no parallel increase
in the late payment penalty for those fines. The Department of Billings and
Collections recommends the increase of the Late Payment penalty for Parking
Tickets from $10 to $15.
Recommended Action:
Approve the attached ordinances amending the City Code to reflect the changes
in various discounts, fees, interest accrual dates and fines as referenced above.

City Manager

Dear Mayor Smith and Members of City Council:
Subject: Proposed Fee Schedule Changes
Background:
In developing the budget for Fiscal Year 2002-03, City departments were asked to reduce
their budgets to help make up for the losses in state aid and find ways to re-engineer
services to generate cost savings for their departments. Departments were also asked to
look at their fee structures and, where feasible, propose fee schedule changes that
maintain fee uniformity between Roanoke and other localities, while recovering the cost of
providing services.
The recommended Fiscal Year 2002-03 budget incorporates a number of proposed fee
structure changes recommended by the Department of Planning Building and
Development, Fire-Emergency Medical Services, Solid Waste Management, and the Water
Department. These proposed changes are reflected in the budget ordinances presented
for adoption for fiscal year 2002-03.
Considerations:
Fire-EMS Fees:
Based on the results of a recent cost audit, the Fire-EMS department has recommended
changes to fire safety inspection fees, fireworks and bonfire permits and system false
alarm fees. Fire safety inspections are performed to ensure the safety of the building
occupants and the general public. Routine fire safety inspections are performed free of
charge. However, a fee is charged whenever a re-inspection is required to insure
corrections of safety violations. Adjustments to the fee schedule, shown in Exhibit A, will

CityWeb:www. ci, roanoke.va, us
Honorable Mayor and Members of Council
May 13, 2002
Page 2
enable the department to improve services and maintain fee uniformity between the City
and its surrounding localities.
The revised permit fee schedule also allows Fire-EMS to recover costs associated with the
enforcement of the fireworks and bonfire permits. A permit is required for firework displays
and a bond may be required for a bonfire. An Assistant Fire Marshal, who may also
conduct an on-site inspection, reviews each fireworks permit application. Fire-EMS also
has personnel on standby at bonfire events to ensure proper extinguishments.
A revised fee schedule is also recommended for system false alarms shown in Exhibit A.
After conducting an analysis throughout the State of Virginia, Fire-EMS has developed the
revised fee schedule in an attempt to encourage building owners to be more proactive in
repairing system malfunctions, resulting in less repeat alarms from automatic electronic
alarm systems.
Solid Waste Manaqement
The current solid waste management fee structure for commercial and central business
district customers generates $40,000 to $50,000 in annual revenue for a service that costs
over $300,000 for the City to provide. In an effort to be more representative of the cost of
the solid waste collection services provided for commercial and central business district
customers, a revised commercial collection fee is being recommended, as shown in Exhibit
A. This proposed fee structure would provide businesses one free collection per week,
charge for additional collections, and partially recover the cost of additional pickups. These
businesses would then be provided a similar level of "free" service as residential
customers.
Elevator Inspection Fees
After completing benchmarking with other localities and a review of estimated labor costs
for conducting elevator inspections, the Department of Planning, Building and Development
is recommending that the City discontinue providing elevator inspections. Many other
localities in the surrounding areas have already moved away from providing this service
due to rising insurance costs related to the liability associated with certifying the inspection.
This new system would require private building owners to have elevator inspections
performed by approved outside agencies or individuals - an elevator inspection permit will
be issued authorizing this inspection. A certificate of inspection prepared by the inspector
will be submitted to the department, as verification of inspection and a database will be
established to monitor compliance with state mandates. City inspection staff would
continue to inspect elevators in city-owned buildings.
Honorable Mayor and Members of Council

Water Division Carvins Cove
With the rising recreational use of Carvins Cove, the Water Department is recommending
several new fees for FY 2003 to offset increased maintenance costs related to increased
usage. A new fee is recommended for all uses of the Carvins Cove facility, including
hiking, biking, bank fishing, picnicking, horseback riding, and bird watching. The new fee
structure, shown in Exhibit A, will enhance the vitality of the widely used natural reserve
and reflect the actual cost of providing boat launch and boat rental services.
Recommended Action:
Approve the attached resolution and amend the City's Fee Compendium to reflect the
changes in various fees, as shown on the attached Exhibit A.

Dear Mayor Smith and Members of City Council:
Subject:
Proposed Planning
Building and Development
Fee Changes
Background:
In developing the budget for Fiscal Year 2002-2003, City departments were asked to
reduce their budgets to help make up for the losses in state aid and find ways to re-
engineer services to generate cost savings for their departments. Departments were
also asked to look at their fee structures and, where feasible, propose fee schedule
changes that recover the cost of providing services and maintain uniformity between
Roanoke and other localities. Accordingly, an increase in various fees administered by
the Planning Building and Development Department is being proposed.
Considerations:
The Planning Building and Development Department has recently completed a
benchmarking effort to compare fees for services with other communities, along with a
review of estimated labor costs for services. The current fees do not cover all expenses
and have not been adjusted for approximately ten years. The recommended fee
schedule, shown in Attachment A, attempts to recover costs of providing services and
be competitive with other municipalities.
Along with increases in current fees to cover costs associated with providing these
services, the Department is also recommending a new fee regarding requests for
zoning classifications, allowed uses, and zoning compliance verification at a rate of
$150.00 per request. Currently, when financial lending institutions request information
regarding any zoning and building violations on certain properties they are preparing to
close on, the City conducts the research and prepares a written report free of charge.

Other localities charge a fee as high as $200 to cover the costs associated with the
verification process.
Recommended Action:
Approve the attached ordinance and amend the City's Fee Compendium to reflect the
changes in various fees, as shown on the attached Exhibit A.

Re: Cost of Livinq Raise for Retirees - FY2003
Dear Mayor Smith and Council Members:
Eligible members of the City of Roanoke Pension Plan received a 3.0% cost-of-living
adjustment (COLA) on July 1,2001. This was the seventh consecutive COLA provided to
eligible retirees. After discussions with other municipal retirement systems and our
administration, we recommend the following:
Effective July 1, 2002, and payable July 31, 2002, we recommend a 2.6% increase to a
member's or surviving spouse's annual retirement allowance. This increase does not apply
to any incentive payments made under the Voluntary Retirement Incentive Program
established by Ordinance No. 30473-41591, adopted April 15, 1991 or to the retirement
supplement established by Ordinance No. 35327-050701, adopted May 7, 2001. The
increase applies to those retirees who retired on or before July 1,2001.
Approximately 1,392 of 1,454 retirees or 96% of those receiving benefits as of April 30,
2002 will be eligible for this increase. The average annual increase in retirement allowance
is $259 costing the pension fund an additional $360,182 annually.
The actuarial cost of a 2.6% permanent COLA is estimated at $3.2 million to be funded
over the next 20 years through the annual payroll contribution rate.
All City operating funds along with the Roanoke Valley Airport Commission, School Board,
Roanoke Valley Resource Authority, Roanoke Valley Detention Commission, and the
Commonwealth of Virginia will assume their pro rata share of cost for funding the COLA.
Honorable Mayor and Members
of City Council
May 13, 2002

We recommend adoption of the accompanying ordinance granting a 2.6% cost of living
raise for qualified retirees. We would be pleased to address questions regarding the
proposed retirement allowance increase.
