Department: City Council Issue: Conduct a public hearing for the purpose of consideration of the adoption of an ordinance establishing a land bank authority in the City of Martinsville. Summary: §15.2-7501 “Creation of Land Bank Entities by Localities” of the Virginia State Code allows localities to establish a land bank for the purpose of assisting the locality to address vacant, abandoned, and tax delinquent properties. Several opportunities are coming before the City involving such properties and the creation of a land bank as a repository for such property facilitates re-use or redevelopment. The land bank, if approved by ordinance, will be established as an entity similar to Martinsville Housing and Redevelopment Authority, called Martinsville Land Bank Authority with Council members also serving as Authority members. §15.2-7502 of the State Code requires that a public hearing be duly advertised and held regarding notice of intent to establish a land bank, prior to the adoption of an ordinance effecting the creation of such entity. Attachments: Ordinance 2018-6, establishing Martinsville Land Bank Authority. Recommendation: Conduct the public hearing as required by §15.2-7502. Adopt Ordinance 2018-6 on first reading (roll call vote) subject to modifications deemed appropriate based on public hearing comment.  CITY OF MARTINSVILLE, VIRGINIA ORDINANCE NO. 2018-6 ESTABLISHING MARTINSVILLE LAND BANK AUTHORITY BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the City of Martinsville, Virginia, in Regular Session held on December 11, 2018, that Chapter 2 of the City Code be, and hereby is, amended to add a new Article IX, Section 2-135, to read as follows: ______________________________________________________________________________ 2-135. Martinsville Land Bank Authority. Having conducted a public hearing duly advertised pursuant to Code of Virginia § 15.2-7502, the City of Martinsville does hereby establish, under the authority granted by Code of Virginia § 15.2-7501, a land bank entity, created as an authority, a public body corporate and political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia: 1. The name of the authority shall be the Martinsville Land Bank Authority. 2. The City of Martinsville is the sole locality creating the authority. 3. The purpose for which the authority is created shall be those set forth in Title 15.2, subtitle IV, Chapter 75 of the Code of Virginia, as hereafter amended. 4.

Department: Commissioner of the Revenue Issue: Consider authorizing the Commissioner of the Revenue to execute a contract to upgrade the real estate mass appraisal software to the most current version of the operating software offered by Vision Government Solutions, Inc. Summary: In November 2014, the Commissioner of the Revenue office contracted with Vision Government Solutions, Inc. (VGSI) to provide a Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) system for the biennial reassessment of the City’s tax parcels. Henry County and Martinsville signed respective contracts for the same software within 9 months of each other. The Martinsville COR office will produce the first reassessment with the new software in January 2019. VGSI is streamlining its software versions so they can devote their company’s resources to one main product rather than several versions of the product. The company has also expanded their presence in Virginia to 21 localities and 81% of the Virginia users are migrating to the new version (V8), which is more stable and has Virginia-specific report options. Because the City purchased the current software in 2014, discounted pricing is being offered to upgrade to the newest version now. Delaying three or four years when the current software is no longer supported will result in the upgrade pricing being significantly higher. Henry County has already upgraded their CAMA software to the newest VGSI product. The City of Salem had the same software that Henry County and Martinsville had previously and they have already migrated to the V8 software. Executing the contract will require payment of the balance of the original CAMA project that has been re-appropriated for FY 2019. This will secure a preferred conversion time in October 2019. The balance of the project cost will be included in the FY 2020 Capital Improvement budget request with payment due after the completion of the conversion in October 2019. Attachments: None Recommendations: Authorize Commissioner of the Revenue to execute the contract to update the software.  City Council Agenda Summary Date: November 27, 2018 Item No: 5. Department: City Council Issue: Consider approval on second reading of Ordinance 2018-5 establishing Rental Property Inspections in the City of Martinsville. Summary: Following several incidents of reported unsafe rental properties, Council requested staff to develop a proposed rental inspection program for their consideration. Staff proceeded with drafting an ordinance, effecting a rental property inspection program modelled after an ordinance used successfully in Blacksburg, Va. for a number of years. Several meetings were held with the local Property Managers Association and their input has been most helpful in crafting a final ordinance. Changes suggested by the PMA to the original draft RPI ordinance developed by staff have been incorporated. At Council’s November 13 meeting, a public hearing was conducted to accept comment on the proposed ordinance. Following the public hearing, Council acknowledged their support of the proposed ordinance and voted to approve Ordinance 2018-5 on first reading. Attachments: Ordinance 2018-5, Rental Property Inspections Recommendations: Adopt Ordinance 2018-5 on second reading (roll call vote).  CITY OF MARTINSVILLE, VIRGINIA ORDINANCE NO. 2018-5 BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the City of Martinsville, Virginia, in Regular Session held on November 27, 2018, that Chapter 6 of the City Code be, and hereby is, amended to add a new Article III, Sections 6-22 through 6-27, to read as follows: ______________________________________________________________________________ ARTICLE III--RENTAL PROPERTY INSPECTIONS  Section 6-22. - Findings.

Department: City Attorney Issue: Consider adoption of the City’s 2019 Legislative Agenda. Summary: The City annually determines its legislative priorities. Attached is the 2019 Legislative Agenda for your consideration that includes the changes discussed at previous Council meetings. Pre-filing for specific legislation is the first week of December 2018. Attachments: 2019 Legislative Agenda including changes from previous Council discussions. Recommendations: Adopt 2019 Legislative Agenda (voice vote).  The City of Martinsville appreciates the efforts its legislators undertake at both the state and federal level on behalf of its citizens. Listed below are the City’s priorities requested of its legislative delegation in 2019. Virginia General Assembly Transportation 1. In the short term, upgrade those portions of Route 220 overlaying I-73 to interstate standards. Any construction or upgrades to the I-73 corridor should begin on those sections passing through Henry County. 2. Continue to place priority on Route 58 improvements, particularly the section between Stuart and Hillsville, Virginia. 3. Increase VDOT funding for road construction and repaving. Education 1. City Council endorses the concept asserted by Sen. Bill Stanley that the Virginia Constitution and United States Supreme Court precedent requires statewide parity in state funding for school construction, maintenance and operations. 2. City Council endorses the agenda proposed by the Martinsville City School System and also endorses the educational priorities adopted by Henry County, on behalf of its school system. 3. Oppose the imposition of unaided education mandates and in the event of revenue cuts by the Commonwealth opposes targeted cuts by the Commonwealth, instead preferring local decision making authority on where to make any such cuts. 4. Recognizing its potential to promote economic development within our community and region, continue support for the development and funding of the New College Institute in its current location in Uptown Martinsville; urge that any funding reductions to New College Institute, if considered, be minimized to the greatest extent possible; and support the affiliation of The New College Institute as a branch of a four-year public university. 5. Request the Commonwealth to fully fund the expenditures imposed upon local school systems by implementing the Standards of Quality. 6. Encourage the Commonwealth to continue or increase the current levels of financial support provided to Patrick Henry Community College. 7. Request the Commonwealth to provide incentives for consolidation of school systems. Economic Development 1. Maintain current levels of funding for economic development incentives, including but not limited to the Governor’s Opportunity Fund. 2. Enhance the authority granted to localities to address and eliminate blighted properties, and the formation of interstate compacts to allow expedited recourse against out-of-state property owners. 3. Increase funding levels for the Virginia Museum of Natural History. 4. Request enhanced state and federal financial assistance for localities which exceed the average state unemployment rate by 150% for a period of five consecutive years. 5. Support continued tourism awareness initiatives in the Martinsville-Henry County region. 1 6. Expand local authority to designate Enterprise Zones and establish incentives. 7. Oppose efforts by Henry County PSA to reopen the Lower Smith River Wastewater Treatment Plant, absent a regional study concluding that such is in the best interests of Martinsville-Henry County taxpayers, customer base, economic needs and state environmental policy. 8. Expand grants and resources available to fiscally stressed localities, and to business development entities in such localities, to aid in the encouragement or development of small and entrepreneurial businesses. 9. Support the Virginia Grocery Investment Fund, as a public-private initiative to improve nutrition and access to quality food, and enhance economic development by encouraging the development of grocery stores in neighborhoods where none exist. Governance 1. Adopt the recommendations of the Virginia Commission on Local Government in its 2018 Annexation Moratoriaum Study, and urge the General Assembly to enact those recommendations in the 2019 Session. 2. Add Martinsville to Code of Virginia 58.1-3970.1(B), allowing for transfer of title to the City of certain delinquent or blighted properties. 3. Request legislation under Code of Virginia 10.1-2211.2 to secure state funding for historical African-American cemeteries in the City’s West End. 4. Require full funding for HB 599 funds, in fulfillment of the Commonwealth’s commitment to cities in return for their acquiescence in the annexation moratorium. 5. Require that the Commonwealth fully fund its obligations to the Virginia Retirement System, and refrain from borrowing from VRS funds. 6. Request the elimination of “local aid to the Commonwealth” in the state budget; local aid artificially inflates state revenues by shifting responsibility for cuts in vital services onto localities. 7. Elimination of all unfunded mandates from the Commonwealth to localities. 8. Oppose any elimination or alteration of local revenue streams, and specifically oppose any amendment to the current manner in which the Business Occupation and Licensing Tax and the Machinery and Tools Tax are levied, unless a replacement revenue stream, not subject to biennial appropriation, is guaranteed by the Commonwealth. 9. Preserve intact local authority to regulate zoning, land use, and regulation of the installation of wireless communication equipment. 10. Request at a minimum, level funding for operational requirements of the Henry-Martinsville Department of Social Services. 11. Request that the General Assembly leaves intact the fire programs fund and the rescue squad assistance funds and not use these funds as a way to balance the state budget. 12. Request that the Commonwealth fully fund its obligations to constitutional officers. 13. Oppose any attempt to curtail the doctrine of sovereign immunity for localities. 14. Oppose any attempt to permit collective bargaining for state and local government employees. 15. Oppose any amendment of the existing burden of proof or process in local tax appeals cases. 16. Request authority to refund erroneously paid taxes at an interest rate which differs from that imposed on delinquencies, and to refund taxes erroneously paid through the fault of the taxpayer at no interest. 17. Support VML’s endorsement of a JLARC study of assigning a proportional share of lottery sales revenue to the localities generating such sales. 18. Require the Commonwealth to fund 100% of the per-diem costs of housing state inmates in local jails. 19. Support all state efforts to provide aid and support services to fiscally stressed localities, but oppose any attempts to interfere with localities’ right to solve their own financial problems locally. 2  20. Support the alteration of award criteria in the “REACH Virginia” and all other VHDA programs to a per-capita income-based model. United States Congress 1. Request the addition of the urban center of micropolitan statistical areas to the eligibility list of “Entitlement Cities.” 2. Oppose any effort to impose additional taxation or regulation of electrical power generation by coal or natural gas. 3. Urge the Federal Highway Commission to adopt the CTB’s designated route for I-73, or alternatively to preserve the current record of decision in the event the CTB’s route is rejected. 4. In the short term, upgrade those portions of Route 220 overlaying I-73 to interstate standards. 5. Request $3.72M in funds for the redevelopment of brownfields extending from the former American Furniture and Sara Lee sites, along Aaron Street, to Rives Road. 6. Request $6.25M in funds for the elimination and redevelopment of blighted areas in the city. 7. Request legislation to provide special federal incentives to businesses locating in regions which have experienced job losses in excess of 5% of the total workforce and/or declines in median incomes since the adoption of NAFTA, WTO or GATT. Target such areas for increased federal funding in education or workforce retraining. 8. Extend high speed broadband service throughout southern Virginia. 9. Request enhanced state and federal financial assistance for localities which exceed the average state unemployment rate by 150% for a period of five consecutive years. 10.

Department: Community Development Issue: Consider information related to the 2019 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) list. Summary: Each year, the City has the option of adding, modifying, or deleting projects on the CEDS list to reflect changing local needs and priorities. As with years past, the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration (EDA) requires that the WPPDC Regional Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) annual report be submitted by March 31 to align with the PDC’s planning grant. In light of this timeframe, WPPDC is requesting that each jurisdiction determine their respective project priority list in order to meet the necessary deadline for the 2019 document update. In the 2018 CEDS document, projects specific to Martinsville are listed beginning mid-way of page A-3, ending at the top page A-6. Attachment: Draft 2019 CEDS projects for Martinsville. Recommendation: No action needed at the November 27 meeting. This is being placed on Council’s agenda simply for information and discussion purposes.
