Vice Mayor White-Boyd commended Chief Roman and the Police Department for their work in the City and inquired about the Reset Team as related to meeting the needs of the community. Chief Roman advised the Reset Coordinator's job was to offer assistance such as mental health resources, city services, and to inquire of needs that may be necessary following traumatic or tragic events. Lloyd Merchant, new Reset Coordinator, introduced himself and stated that the citizens' reaction had been positive and he had received encouraging responses as it related to outreach in neighborhoods affected by violence. Mayor Lea also asked Chief Roman what was the plan for curbing violence in the neighborhoods; wherein, Chief Roman emphasized that officers were taking a multi-track, community-focused approach to curbing the violence and the Police Department was collaborating with local and federal agencies, nonprofits, social services, and neighborhood leaders to build a proactive approach to short-circuit crime and help people find a better path before behavior escalates to arrests or possible incarceration. Council Member Bestpitch noted that City Council had been criticized for not supporting the Police and clarified for the record, that he supported the Police, praised Chief Roman for his posture in the community, and looked forward to reinstating neighborhood walks with the Police to show support and concern for neighborhoods and residents; and lastly praised former Police Sergeant Joshua Johnson, for his recent move to the City Manager's Office as the new Neighborhood Services Coordinator. Following brief remarks by Council Member Cobb, Mayor Lea thanked Chief Roman for the comprehensive presentation; and advised that the presentation would be received and filed. At this point, Council Member Moon Reynolds entered the meeting (11 :38 a.m.). Budget/Financial Planning Fiscal Year 2022 Amelia Merchant, Director of Finance, briefed the Council on the development of the FY 2021 -2022 budget process. (See presentation on file in the City Clerk's Office.) Ms. Merchant highlighted the following: • FY 2021 General Fund Overview 322 The Director of Finance advised that with regard to revenues through February, FY 2021 local taxes were 1.1 percent ahead of target, mainly due to performance of sales and transient occupancy taxes; FY 2021 revenues decreased approximately - $7.82 million or 5.38 percent compared to the same period of FY 2020; local taxes decreased $5.2 million or 5.35 percent compared to the same period of FY 2020 due to lower performance of business license, prepared foods and beverage, transient occupancy, admissions and personal property taxes; FY 2021 other revenues decreased approximately $2.60 million or 3.96 percent compared to the same period of FY 2020 due to the timing of social services revenues and lower charges for services. She also pointed out that through February, FY 2021 expenditures decreased approximately $6.3 million or 3.2 percent compared to the same period of FY 2020 due to the timing and lower transfers to other funds as well as the timing of expenditures in street paving and fleet capital. In terms of local taxes, Ms. Merchant noted that the prior history of March through the end of the fiscal year from the prior year, local taxes could potentially exceed budget by 1 percent or around $2 million and the projections were monitored on a weekly basis and updated in the dashboard as each month was closed. She pointed out that Fiscal Year 2021 net local tax increases included Visit Virginia's Blue Ridge, $673,000.00 for Roanoke City Public Schools, and $1 million for the City, but did not take into account nonlocal revenues. • FY 2022 Development Ms. Merchant explained that for Fiscal Year 2022 local taxes had been updated reaching an estimate of approximately $2.79 million; a $6.1 million increase over the Fiscal Year 2021 adopted budget or 3 percent growth year over year. She noted that the growth was mainly attributed to real estate, transient occupancy, sales tax, personal property and business license taxes, offset by lower performance expectations in communications, prepared food and beverage and cigarette taxes. She explained that overall growth for the General Fund estimated at a 2.2 percent or $6.5 million increase driven by local tax expectation, the total budget projection stands at $304,570,449 and in terms of the balancing status, with revenue and expense adjustments that have been made since the March briefing there was an approximately $2.4 million revenue over expense balance.  323 The Vice-Mayor inquired as to the projects that were not funded and the long list of CIP projects in relation to surplus revenue the City may gain; whereupon, the City Manager advised that in examining year-end potential funding of revenue over expenses, typically the stormwater projects were not funded through that fund and the CIP list far exceeded the revenue that would be received from any surplus on any kind of consistent basis and conversations at the federal level related to infrastructure could be important to those projects, but the City did not have the revenue to fund those projects. In response to an inquiry with regard to the 599 funding, the City Manager advised that the funding was received from the Commonwealth for police activities, a provision that was put in place temporarily as the debate continued as to whether cities would be allowed to annex. He further explained that it was a commitment to fund cities at a certain level, and the State had not met that obligation. Following additional dialogue with regard to unfunded projects, Paul Workman, Budget Manager continued with the presentation providing an overview of fee and tax adjustments. He advised that the solid waste fees were established in 2018 and designed to cover half of the operating costs, downtown compactor fee was a user based fee created before the solid waste fee was implemented and the goal was to shore up the revenue/expense ratio. In order to get that fee back to covering 50 percent of the costs, the rates would be raised by $1.10 to $9.10 per month or $109.20 annually for residential, $18.20 or $218.40 annually for multi-family, and $13.60 per month or $163.20 annually for commercial services. Following an explanation of two scenarios to amend the downtown trash compactor fee, Mr. Workman advised that staff was seeking direction from the Council with regard to possible fee adjustments for Fiscal Year 2022 in those areas and long- term policy goals of the downtown compactor program. Council Member Cobb inquired as to the users of the downtown compactor and if it applied to residential and commercial; whereupon, Mr. Workman advised that anyone within the compactor zone was charged for the use of the compactors. lan Shaw, Stormwater Manager, continued the presentation reviewing the Stormwater Utility Fee, highlighting that existing revenue was not sufficient to fund- current level of operating expenses, inflationary costs, planned debt issuance to support capital projects, incremental debt issuance if grant funding declined, cash funded capital, planned staff additions of two construction crews and technical support positions. 324 He further reviewed Option C based on the consensus of Council at the March 1 meeting, advising that the option would increase debt funding from $2 million to $3 million over the planning horizon, adequately fund cash funded capital, planned staff - additions, fee increase from $.90 per 500 square feet per month to $1.56 per month over five years, average residential- $5.40 per month to $9.36 per month. Mr. Shaw advised that staff further refined Option C to add a couple of different scenarios including time frames to make sure the City met the proper benchmarks. He added that the revised Option C included a 15 cent increase per billing unit per month in Fiscal Years 2023, 2024 and 2025 and a 10 cent increase in Fiscal Years 2026 and 2027; a 70 cent increase over that time. Following brief discussion with regard to stormwater projects, Ms. Merchant reviewed the amended budget adoption schedule noting that public hearings on the recommended budget and tax rates would be held on May 24 at 7:00 p.m.; budget study would be held on June 7 at 9:00 a.m.; and budget adoption on June 21 at 2:00p.m. • American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Lastly, the City Manager explained the American Rescue Plan Act pointing out that it was a follow up to the CARES (Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Development Security) Act and unlike the previous acts; the ARPA included direct - funding through local governments specifically for the purpose of replacing lost revenue; $65 billion would be divided between cities and counties coming directly from the federal government; the anticipated allocation $44.76 million-first installment in spring 2021, second installment in 2022, must be spent by end of calendar year 2024 and disallowed uses included directly or indirectly offsetting tax reductions, delaying a tax implementation or tax increase and depositing into any pension fund. There being no further questions and/or comments by the Council members, Mayor Lea thanked the City Manager and Director of Finance for the presentation and advised that the briefing would be received and filed. At 12:55 p.m., the Mayor declared the Council meeting in recess for a Closed Meeting in the Council's Conference Room, Room 450, fourth floor, Noel C. Taylor Municipal Building; and thereafter to be reconvened at 2:00 p.m., in the Council Chamber. At 2:00 p.m., the Council meeting reconvened in the Council Chamber, with Mayor Sherman P.
