Service Learning Program with Harrisonburg High School Final Project Reports Ande Banks, Director of Special Projects and Grant Management, stated tonight is the culmination of a pilot program that the city has been working with Harrisonburg High School (HHS).

Mary-Hope Vass, Public Information Officer, stated the first group was assigned to highlight sustainability efforts city-wide and the second group was assigned to create a city guide. Grant Kiser, Samuel Imeson, Jackson Taylor and Scott Wise presented the following: The group provided a general overview of the assignment and chose to highlight the Harrisonburg Fire Department (biodegradable soap), Public Transportation (waste oil used for heat and use natural sunlight for lighting), Human Resources (paperless efforts) and Police Department (solar powered radar system and transitioning to emission friendly vehicles) for their sustainability efforts. The group created a video, a prezi and a website to highlight city sustainability efforts. The website also provides an explanation of what sustainability is and a section where the public can ask questions and provide sustainability ideas to the city. The group stated they learned about different departments within the city, it takes work to generate sustainable outcomes and it initially costs more for departments to switch from a non sustainable to a sustainable approach. The group reviewed challenges they faced which included the City of Harrisonburg Page 2 Printed on 6/12/2015 City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 26, 2015 amount of time they had to complete the assignment, time management and learning new equipment and software. The group suggested continuing to promote initiatives the city has done, identify future projects to highlight, create additional videos, to develop a social media campaign to show what the city is doing and find out what others in the community are doing and present the efforts to various community organizations and neighborhood groups. Emma Jackson, Julie Nicolas, Ana Hunter-Nickels and Talah Garout presented the following: The group stated they wanted to make a guide that was for both new families and college students to the area in both print and digital format. The group used information that was available and spoke to JMU students. The group created a survey, but didn’t have time to distribute and get feedback from those surveys. The guide they created includes the following information: glance at the government; services offered and who to contact regarding those services; policies; information about the surrounding area; and, the history of Harrisonburg. The group recommended printing 500 issues costing approximately $322 and to place the guides in real estate offices, hand out at college orientation and on city buses. The group stated the website would provide more information, a pdf version available to print and a welcoming video. The group reflected on the process and stated they got to do something they never had done before, learned about time management, how to work with others and learned about what the city has to offer. Lauren Huber, Harrisonburg Downtown Renaissance (HDR) Resource Director, stated her group was tasked to complete a downtown business survey. Cathya Correa, Katherine Komara, Alexis Whitfield and Natalia Alcantara presented the following: The group provided background about HDR and stated they were tasked to update the downtown business directory with the following information: hours of operation, type of business, number of employees, contact information and social networking sites. The group presented a pie chart showing eight different categories the 354 businesses downtown fit into. The group highlighted both the Ice House project and Shenandoah Valley Organic as part of their presentation. The group shared new ideas for Harrisonburg’s downtown after they surveyed 144 HHS students which were an ice skating rink/pavilion, indoor trampoline house and a teen club. The group stated they learned about what downtown has to offer, enjoyed being out of the classroom and they were able to provide their own ideas on how to improve downtown. Ian Bennett, Deputy Fire Chief, stated there is a fire station 5 in the Capital Improvement Plan to help with response time to the northwest sector of town and this group was tasked to find the best location for the station. Ron Somchay, Rudy Alexis Lopez and John Burns Earle IV presented the following: The group stated there are currently four fire stations serving the city with improper coverage in the northern sector of Harrisonburg. The group stated the northern sector is dense with both elderly and college population and doesn ’t fall into the National Fire City of Harrisonburg Page 3 Printed on 6/12/2015 City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 26, 2015 Protection Association (NFPA) standards. The group proposed three sites which were the Mobile Gas station near Eastern Mennonite University (EMU), a property on Waterman Drive and a property on an adjacent lot at the intersection of Mt. Clinton Pike and North Liberty Street. The group provided pros and cons to each location and showed a video and graph showing response times from these locations compared to Station 4. The group feels that option 3, the adjacent lot at the intersection of Mt. Clinton Pike and North Liberty Street, would be the best option. This location is for sale, doesn’t have a building located on the premises and the response times are within the requirements. Avery Daugherty, Transit Superintendent for Harrisonburg Public Transportation Department (HDPT), stated his group was tasked to promote all the things HDPT provides to both residents and JMU students. Mr. Daugherty noted that prior to this project his group had never rode a public transit bus. Brooke Cobb, Shenerwe Merawly, Sundas Azim and Timothy Zepp presented the following: The group reviewed reasons to use public transportation which included convenient for college students, easy for people with disabilities and inexpensive. The group stated the bus route schedule can be found on the city’s website, the NextBus app or in printed form. The buses feature bike racks, wheelchair ramps, pull cords and laminators. The group provided general facts about HDPT which included the following: 20K - 22K people ride per day when JMU is in session; 3,500 students ride per day when Harrisonburg City Public Schools is in session; transit buses cost $390,000; school buses cost $100,000; and, the fleet includes 40 Gillig low transit buses, nine paratransit buses, 47 school buses, one minivan and five activity buses. The group shared a video they created featuring HDPT. The group shared their challenges and setbacks which included learning new software and equipment, unpredictable weather and time. The group stated during this experience they became more comfortable approaching people, gained knowledge on public transportation, gained awareness of local government services, learned time management, got to ride a bus and learned teamwork. Mr. Banks thanked city staff and council for working with these students during the last few months and feels that this program will continue. Council thanked the students, teachers and administration that were involved to make this program happen. Mayor Jones introduced his wife and announced that his family is expecting an addition. 6.b. Consider Electoral Board request for direction on possible JMU voting precinct City Manager Hodgen stated the Electoral Board is requesting formal direction from City Council in terms of advising the board that council would like to consider the possibility of establishing a JMU precinct. If council would like the Electoral Board to research the matter, they request council provide what information and /or issues they City of Harrisonburg Page 4 Printed on 6/12/2015 City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 26, 2015 would like reviewed. City Manager Hodgen also stated the Electoral Board wondered if council would like a recommendation on whether or not a JMU precinct should be established or just provided with general information. City Manager Hodgen provided questions that first came to his mind which were the following: should a JMU precinct be established; should the precinct only be for JMU students; should a current precinct be relocated to JMU; what are the costs associated with establishing and operating the precinct; what precedent does this set for future requests; if the precinct is shifted to JMU, what impacts would it have on non JMU voters; and, would council like to see a threshold of voters coming out to Spotswood prior to considering an approval to the request. It was noted out of potentially 2,000 on-campus students only 150 students voted during the last election. The following discussion took place: precincts were changed after the last presidential election with the addition of two sites to balance the numbers of voters at each location; the new sites picked up on-campus and off-campus students; students are only guaranteed on campus for one year; an election is held in Virginia every year; reviewing the request would be proactive in reviewing the possibility of increasing voters; would like to see pros and cons to the request; has been discussed at the JMU liaison meetings; an extra location is not needed; should review the request; easy access for everyone; numbers don't show an additional precinct is needed; the request is for JMU to have their own precinct for students that live on campus; and, if changes are made, they should be done during a non presidential election year. A motion was made by Vice-Mayor Baugh, seconded by Council Member Degner, to task the Electoral Board to review the request, present pros and cons and associated costs, examine other localities that have campuses, present options they feel are appropriate and make a recommendation. The motion carried with a recorded roll call vote taken as follows: Yes: 5- Mayor Jones, Vice-Mayor Baugh, Council Member Byrd, Council Member Degner and Council Member Shearer No: 0 6.c.

Mr. Baker reviewed the following projects: Reservoir Street Improvement Project: have been working on the project for a number of years; utilities are almost complete; a few right of way negotiations are still underway, but have the ability to be on property for the project; one bid was received for construction which was over the estimated cost and staff will be reviewing but feels that contractors are currently busy and this is a large project; and, a rebid will take place this fall.

Mt. Clinton Pike Road Improvement Project: working on design along with Eastern Mennonite University (EMU); third roundabout to be constructed; slip lane was added in the past two years from Chicago Avenue to Mt. Clinton Pike Road which lessened the immediate need; 2017 is the earliest the construction would begin; a great turn out to the public hearing session; and, an endorsement will be needed from council in the future. North End Greenway Project: shared use path in the northeast area of the city; lots of challenges with right of way and easements, have own consultant working on it; trying to figure out best alignment; back working with some property owners regarding the project and railroad company; using revenue sharing funds to help with the design work; have not identified construction money for the project; and, discussing adding a stream restoration project through this corridor as well, which would be a part of the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) project. Martin Luther King Jr. Way Widening Project: project is in conjunction with new hotel and conference center and parking deck JMU is constructing; a design engineer is working with staff; working with JMU and private developer; design to be completed by this fall so construction phasing can be presented next year; have not yet identified construction funds, but have proposed to apply for a revenue sharing grant for funds next year; and, funds are also being sought from JMU and hotel and conference center.

Downtown Streetscape Phase III: is currently under design; Phase II was shortened due to financing; Phase III completes the area between Elizabeth Street to Wolfe Street to include both sides of sidewalks along Main Street and traffic lights; 80% federal funding with 20% local match; and, construction is scheduled to begin in spring 2016 and completed in fall 2016. Mr. Baker stated there are smaller maintenance projects going on all the time with planning and preliminary work on future transportation, bicycle and pedestrian and updates to the street plan for the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Baker stated with House Bill 2 there is additional funding available, but we will be competing with projects from across the state and the Staunton district. Mr. Baker feels that Harrisonburg has attractive and good projects to be able to receive funding. Council Member Shearer asked about the proposed paving schedule funding in the budget. It was confirmed that $950,000 in VDOT Revenue Sharing funds are not reflected in the proposed budget, because the other money has not been received . Council Member Degner asked about coordination with the new school site in regards to a bike and pedestrian plan. Mr. Baker stated some routing has been identified, but haven't specifically been in communication with the schools. Council Member Degner requested the Public Works Department to reach out to the School Board regarding this matter. It was noted a lot of work is done by the Public Works Department and the team is extremely responsive. Mr. Baker also informed council that the Public Works Department hosted a state-wide conference with 16 other localities that are a part of the Urban Construction Initiative (UCI) at the Harrisonburg Department of Public Transportation Department (HDPT) and received a lot of good feedback. 6.d.

Consider adopting the budget and appropriation ordinance of the City of Harrisonburg, Virginia for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2016 for the second reading City Manager Hodgen stated during the May 12, 2015 City Council meeting the proposed budget was approved on a first reading with a second budget work session to be held to find additional savings. City Manager Hodgen stated during the second budget work session approximately $195,000 additional savings were identified and the proposed real estate tax increase is now 4.5 cents. Council Member Shearer stated the following: noted the $0.06 increase to real estate tax, $0.50 increase to personal property taxes in 2015; new revenue growth in other areas; ending year with over $6M surplus; seeking $1.7M in revenues with new proposed budget; feels that we are looking at good growth estimates and we need to trim expenses slightly to balance the budget without a tax increase; feels that for every dollar budgeted in city expenditures we need to reduce 1.7% pennies of expenses to balance the budget; 17% increase when you combine the last two years; implemented another cost to citizens in the form of a stormwater management fee; FY 17 will be another sizeable tax increase to cover school construction and operational costs; and, increases will impact businesses and need to remain competitive in economic development. Council Member Byrd stated the following: $300,000 was not cut from the sanitation fund, money was received from the reserves fund to replace those funds; staff felt that the revenue projections needed to be left at the current level; removal of a one -time capital project reduced the increase by a penny; asked for current savings with current vacant positions exempting public safety, but number wasn't available; suggested to ask department heads for additional savings from their budgets to reach the 1.7% in City of Harrisonburg Page 8 Printed on 6/12/2015 City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 26, 2015 additional savings, but majority of council didn't seem to be in favor of the request; suggested to roll back increase of new expenditures to meet our natural revenue growth; city receives a $5M transfer Harrisonburg Electric Commission (HEC); reviewing taxing structure we are high on revenues coming from other forms of taxes; support some new expenditures, but have natural revenue growth of $ 3M this current budget year; we need to set revenue targets in early December; would like to establish a personnel committee; and, would like to review actual year-end numbers. Due to a previous comment made by Council Member Byrd, Mayor Jones clarified votes don't take place at work sessions. Council Member Degner stated the following: some reductions happened thanks to Council Member Byrd's leadership, particularly the $3.00 increase that was removed; the city has growing pains and expenses that have come from hitting a population threshold; have a lean and official local government providing services; without agreeing on services and projects council would like to push back, he is willing to support the proposed budget with knowing next year we are going to reduce as much as possible; has voted against budgets before with tax increases; and, is open to conversation, but this is about keeping the city running with a professional workforce. Mayor Jones stated the following: we are a growing city and we still have one of the lowest real estate tax rates; supports City Manager's recommendations to maintain our excellence; supported first penny and would have liked to have gotten two pennies; willing to settle at a penny and a half because we don't have luxuries that other cities have; an intense second work session was held; feels the city residents trust city staff as well due to lack of attendance at both the budget work sessions and the public hearing; would like to televise work session in future; more participation makes it easier; and, feels establishing a personnel committee is important. Vice-Mayor Baugh stated the following: most people believe what they want to believe about the budget; voting on the facts how they are and not how he wishes them to be; voting against the budget would be voting against items that he knows are not true; can’t cut expenses and tell department heads to cut their budget and to cut the city ’s debt; we fund core services that includes schools, streets, water and sewer and more; the quality of our city is in connection to the quality of our schools; not funding equipment may cost more in the future; no city functions like Harrisonburg with the staff and services the city provides; not hiring people you need and pushing projects back is not good business; if at any point council can agree that the city shouldn ’t be spending money on something, it should be addressed; to believe we don ’t have to increase city revenues says that there are items in the budget that we don ’t need to spend funds on, but when looking at the budget those items can ’t be found; confident in both department heads and city manager with the proposed budget; the word cut is not being used properly; and the city doesn’t have money just sitting around. A motion was made by Council Member Degner, seconded by Vice-Mayor Baugh, to amend the first reading of the budget to a 4.5 cent real estate tax increase and reduce the proposed budget an additional $195,095.
