Ted Anderson, Fire Chief – impact of 5% reduction: Chief Anderson explained budget cuts and how those cuts affected the Inspections department, Fire department staffing, travel and training funds, and property demolition procedures. Sean Dunn, Police Chief – impact of 5% reduction: Chief Dunn explained budget cuts and how those cuts affected personnel costs, group medical insurance, equipment and supplies and vehicle fuel costs. Betsy Pace, Senior Services Director and Teresa Fontaine, Director of Southern Area Agency on Aging on impact of not funding the Martinsville Senior Services program: City Manager Towarnicki explained how the suggestion to eliminate funding for the Senior Services program came about. Ms. Pace explained how the cut would affect the services offered to the community with emphasis on the transportation services for City seniors. Ms. Fontaine described the effects on the Southern Area Agency on Aging if the Senior Center budget was eliminated and what options would change or be eliminated that are currently being offered to seniors now. Jeff Joyce elaborated on the part time positions and additional services that would be affected if funding was cut. Brooks Jones explained how the Senior Center only provides transportation to citizens who do not have Medicaid and have no other means of transportation. Council Member Teague asked Pace and Joyce to come back to Council with costs to run the transportation option only. Council Members all agreed April 19, 2016 that they would like to continue to provide funding for the Senior Center and have asked for suggestions on how to make it work. Review of Water/Sewer budgets, proposed rate increase: Towarnicki explained the water and sewer rate increase suggestion. Andy Lash explained that the work crews are being more proactive to issues rather than reactive to problems.

Towarnicki explained the 911 center contribution. Hodge said she is in support of EDC budget reduction. She feels the new funding is what the City should have been paying all along but does not agree with the terms. Mayor Turner says that the EDC’s obligation should be in the City’s best interest. Towarnicki detailed the EDC agreement and explained the possibility to qualify for a third transit PART bus. Hodge asked why the 5% budget reduction was not applied to outside agencies; she felt that it’s a matter of principle since all other departments are affected. She also questioned the dental clinic being added back into the budget and feels that other City entities should support the clinic instead of City Council. Review of Departmental budgets: Council Member Teague questioned consulting fee for the Zoning ordinance and Council Member Hodge had questions about the Parks and Recreation park maintenance budget. There being no further business, Council Member Teague made a motion to adjourn the meeting, Council Member Hodge seconded the motion with all Council Members in favor.

Stroud made a motion to revisit the funding cut for the EDC, Teague seconded the motion. Hodge stated that the per capita is the funding level she felt the City should be paying all along and that they should not give up a seat. Turner said the Council should have some opinion of who would take that seat. Bowles understands the concerns and feels that losing the seats does not change the voting power. Turner says that it is unfortunate that an African American woman is on the board and that would be the seat that is eliminated.

Bowles asked the City Manager to explore options using the PART bus to aid in senior transportation. Dr. Craig Deitrich, 1227 Lanier Road and member of school board – stated that the reduction of the school board budget is a painful cut. Teresa Fontaine, Director of Southern Area Agency on Aging – thanked Council for the restoration of the Senior Center and shared additional information on the senior population. Joe Martin, 617 E. Church Street – asked how much funding is going towards the Senior Center. Towarnicki said it would be around $200,000. Martin referred to his idea from the previous year to save money that could be returned to the school board. Gloria Hylton, 402 Second Street – she stated that she is glad the Senior Center funding was restored.

City Attorney Monday explained that Council Member Stroud and Vice Mayor Bowles had signed a disclosure and both could objectively participate in budget discussions and vote. Teague made a motion to adopt the budget as amended on first reading. Bowles seconded the motion. Stroud asked about the loan to repair the sewer line and the requirement to have the ability to raise the revenue to repay that loan and if the water/sewer rate increase is adjustable. Towarnicki explained it includes a revenue bond so the revenue from water and sewer serves as a guarantee of repayment. There must be sufficient revenue to satisfy conditions of the loan. Stroud mentioned that a sludge press would decrease the cost of sludge disposal at the landfill. Teague thanked those departments who had budget cuts including the school board, fire, police and sheriff departments and the seven individuals who will no longer have a position with the City.

Visitmartinsville.com forwarded a list of activities for youth. Towarnicki also described several camps that are being held for youth in the area through the school system. He also mentioned church and the sports complex activities that are available. Teague suggested getting the RADAR bus involved to see if the bus could alter the route to accommodate citizens wanting to attend some activities. Conduct a public hearing required under the exemption ordinance enacted in January 2007 for an organization requesting local tax exemption and consider granting the requested exemption – Commissioner of Revenue Ruth Easley summarized the exemption request that is done once a year. There was only one organization that requested the exemption. A committee was formed and met, providing a report and recommendation not to provide exemption of this organization. Hodge shared her reasoning why it would be a disservice to April 26, 2016 reject this exemption. James Hagwood, representative of the Community Development Corporation of Martinsville-Henry County, Inc. described how the organization does not make profit and their plans for the properties they currently own. Teague says he supports the organization, but not necessarily the tax exemption. Wayne Knox said the two properties were purchased through a grant and form contributions from board members. His opinion is this CDC has the opportunity to grow and be beneficial to the City and the Westend. The best way to support the mission of the organization is through contributions. Hodge asked if Council could consider the exemption with specific thresholds. Monday explained that that Council would not have that authority but they may possibly include an annual “sunset” provision in the ordinance. Easley explained that by including provisions they are dictating how the organization is run and the purpose of the ordinance is so Council would not go through this consideration each year. Hodge made a motion to grant the exemption, Bowles requested additional time to consider the request. Teague asked if Council would consider adding this organization to the budget as a funded outside agency rather than approving the tax exemption ordinance. Monday said that decision would need to be made at the next meeting since the budget was already approved on first reading. Mayor Turner opened the public hearing with no one approaching the podium. Council requested this request be tabled until the next meeting April 26, 2016 Consider approval of consent agenda - A motion was made by Bowles and seconded by Hodge to approve the consent agenda as presented, all Council Members voted in favor. April 26, 2016 Comments by members of City Council – Stroud said he is grateful that a local child missing the night before was found safely. Hodge said that she is glad that Council was able to pass budget in majority agreement. Bowles wished her grandfather a happy birthday. She explained National College signing day and said she would be celebrating at Martinsville High School on Wednesday April 26, 2016 with an increase in students who will be enrolling. She stated that 72% of MHS seniors had applied to colleges. Turner stated he was not happy with the EDC decision. Comments by City Manager – Towarnicki stated the budget was not an easy decision and he thanked Ms. Conover, Mr. Knox and other department heads for their cooperation. This budget was challenging and they will begin working on FY18 budget within a month of finalizing FY17. Looking ahead, the next year budget will be another challenge. City Attorney Monday said that Carlisle school ranked high again on the Business Insider school surveys. Business from the Floor (not televised) – Ural Harris, 217 Stewart St – stated that he finds the budget disturbing because Council cut some of the most important departments. He expressed concerns about the City Electric portfolio and would like Council to find a way out of the electric deal. Ms. Hylton, stated in February Council recognized African American Council Members. She asked if the church could display the plaque in Mr. Hobson’s honor. April 26, 2016 She asked if additional money is found in the budget that it be reinstated to the Police department. Turner asked City Manager if Mr. Hobson’s picture could be copied and provided to the church. Joe Martin, 617 E. Church St said he supports Teague’s opinions on the CDC support and the Westend does need special attention through this organization. There being no further business, a motion was made by Teague to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Hodge with all Council Members voting in favor. The meeting adjourned at 9:35pm. ______________________________________ ______________________________________ Karen Roberts Danny Turner Clerk of Council Mayor  City Council Agenda Summary Meeting Date: May 10, 2016 Item No: 2.

Department: City Manager, Commissioner of the Revenue Issue: Consider granting a tax exemption to a local non-profit and adopting an ordinance on first reading Summary: Under the provisions of the Exemption Ordinance enacted by council in January 2007, any entity that does not clearly fall into any exemption category granted by the Code of Virginia must request an exemption approval from the city council in the form of an exemption ordinance. In order for the exemption request to be considered by council as part of the annual budget deliberations, the requesting entity must have submitted an exemption application to the Commissioner of the Revenue by November 1, 2015. After notification by the Commissioner of the Revenue that an organization submitted an application for determination for local tax exemption, the City Manager appointed a review committee consisting of himself, Vice-Mayor Bowles, the City Commissioner of the Revenue, the City Treasurer, and an accountant from the Finance Department to review the application received. Community Development Corporation of Martinsville-Henry County Inc. is the only organization that submitted an application for a local exemption designation. A public hearing on the exemption request was held on April 26, 2016. Action on the request was deferred until the May 10, 2016 City Council meeting.

Organization Mission Statement: To serve as a community development organization with a focus for revitalizing and rebuilding Martinsville's West End community, thereby fostering the creation and attraction of new business, retaining and expanding jobs and assisting in the retention and expansion of existing businesses in Martinsville and Henry County. Answers to Review Criteria: 1. The organization has been granted IRS 501 (c ) (3) designation 2. The organization does not have an annual special events ABC license 3. The organization's application indicates that there are no employees and the officers do not receive salaries. 4. Net earnings of the organization do not inure to the benefit of any individual, however, exact funding sources could not be discerned due to the newness of the entity. 5. The organization's stated purpose is to focus on "revitalizing and rebuilding Martinsville's West End Community thereby fostering the creation and attraction of new business, retaining and expanding jobs and assisting in the retention and expansion of existing businesses in Martinsville and Henry County." 6. No substantial part of the organization's activities is to influence legislation or campaign on behalf of a political candidate. 7. Real Estate Tax Revenue Impact: $721.16 is the current annual tax assessment for the 2 properties owned by the organization. 8. The organization does not meet a general public need that exceeds the City's loss in revenue from taxes. Simialr rehabilitation projects are currently performed by other private individuals that are not tax exempt. And also by Habitat for Humanity a non-profit entity. Additional Review Critera: a. The organization has unpaid real estate tax liability  b. The organization has not obtained building permits for any of the rehabilitation work, but depending on the nature of the work, they may not need one. The organization has not stated that the property use would change from the current residential zoning so they are compliant with current subdivision and zoning ordinances. c. The properties for which the exemption is sought potentially relate to the purposes for which the organization was created. If any property is leased and becomes income producing any exemption granted could be lost pursuant to Code of Virginia §58.1-3603. d. The City is providing some property rehabilitation through grant programs administered through the Martinsville Redevelopment and Housing Authority. e. The organization is providing services that are currently being provided by private investors or through the Martinsville Redevelopment and Housing Authority f. The organization does provide a service that meets an established priority of City Council, but the same kind of service is also provided by private investors, Habitat for Humanity, and the Martinsville Redevelopment and Housing Authority. g. Other criteria to consider: No other criteria was considered by the committee. Fiscal Impact: The organization currently owns 2 properties: 508 Fayette Street and 610 Fayette Street. Current annual tax on 508 Fayette Street is $403.60. Current annual tax on 610 Fayette Street is $317.57. Total annual real estate tax for both properties is $721.17. The organization has not reported owning any business personal property in the City of Martinsville. Review Committee Recommendation: The Review Committee does not recommend exemption at this time for the following reasons: (1) The organization indicated that the property at 508 Fayette St. will be rented when the property is rehabilitated as a source to fund their ongoing projects. If exempt property becomes a source of income it loses its exempt status pursuant to Code of Virginia §58.1-3603. (2) There is a concern of fairness and equity to other private investors who are essentially doing the same kind of rehabilitation and do not benefit from tax exemption. (3) The organization has not paid the current tax liability on the two properties that they have acquired since August 2015.  EXEMPTION CRITERIA TO CONSIDER Pursuant to Code of Virginia §58.1-3651, the local governing body shall consider the following questions before granting an exemption from local taxation to any nonprofit organizations: 1. Whether the organization is exempt from taxation pursuant to § 501 (c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954; 2. Whether a current annual alcoholic beverage license for serving alcoholic beverages has been issued by the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to such organization, for use on such property; 3. Whether any director, officer, or employee of the organization is paid compensation in excess of a reasonable allowance for salaries or other compensation for personal services which such director, officer, or employee actually renders; 4. Whether any part of the net earnings of such organization inures to the benefit of any individual, and whether any significant portion of the service provided by such organization is generated by funds received from donations, contributions, or local, state or federal grants. As used in this subsection, donations shall include the providing of personal services or the contribution of in-kind or other material services; 5. Whether the organization provides services for the common good of the public; 6. Whether a substantial part of the activities of the organization involves carrying on propaganda, or otherwise attempting to influence legislation and whether the organization participates in, or intervenes in, any political campaign on behalf of any candidate for public office; 7. The revenue impact to the locality and its taxpayers of exempting the property; and 8. Any other criteria, facts and circumstances that the governing body deems pertinent to the adoption of such ordinance.  Other Exemption Criteria Not Specifically Identified in Code of Virginia §58.1-3651 The City Council should consider the following criteria, facts and circumstances as may be pertinent: (a) Whether the organization is current on all its obligations to the City; (b) Whether the organization is in compliance with all City ordinances and regulations, including (but not limited to) building, subdivision and zoning ordinances; (c) Whether the property for which the exemption is sought relates to the purposes for which the organization was created and tends to directly promote those purposes; (d) Whether the service(s) provided by the organization are services the City would provide if the requesting organization did not do so; (e) Whether the organization meets a general public need for which the benefits derived by the community at-large are equivalent to or exceed the City’s loss in revenue from taxes on the entity’s real and personal property; (f) Whether the service(s) provided by the organization meet an established priority of the City Council; and (g) Any other criteria, facts and circumstances that the Council may deem appropriate and pertinent.  ORDINANCE 2016-______ BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the City of Martinsville, Virginia, in regular session held on April 26, 2016 and pursuant to Section 58.1-3651 of the Code of Virginia, that Section 21-12 of the City Code be amended to add a subsection O as follows: (o).
