Recognize Fayula Gordon for completing the Virginia Chapter of the American Planning
Association Leadership Development Program.
Summary
On August 30, 2024, I was informed by Andrew Hopewell, President of the Virginia Chapter of
the American Planning Association that Fayula Gordon, the Town’s Associate Planner, has
recently completed a Leadership Development Program sponsored by the Virginia Chapter of the
American Planning Association. The program was a six-month course covering topics such as
Leadership Values, Mindset, Emotional Intelligence, Negotiation, Diversity and Inclusion.
According to Mr. Hopewell, the program participants engaged in intensive conversations with a
variety of instructors during the three-hour monthly meetings. They had outside assignments to
shadow/interview a leader they admired to see what skills and techniques they could integrate into
their own leadership toolkits. In addition to the material covered, the cohort of nine students also
forged relationships with one another, expanding their network of colleagues from across the state.
Mr. Hopewell stated that for attendees like Fayula, the Richmond location made the meetings a
full-day event. Her commitment and dedication to the class was admirable and speaks to her desire
to improve her skill set and offer the citizens of Vinton the utmost service. Mr. Hopewell reached
out to me to let me know that she represented herself, and the Town of Vinton, in a manner of
which I should be proud.

dynamic ArcGIS FieldMaps application using web services to collect data.
The County’s GIS Team shared with us that the award was made possible by the partnership between
the Town’s stormwater personnel and the County’s GIS personnel throughout the development and

Consideration of public comments concerning the proposed amendment to the Town of Vinton’s FY
2024-2025 budget to appropriate funding for various operational and capital expenditures, including
police equipment, Wolf Creek Greenway bathroom facilities, and the Town’s planned multi-generational
park in the total amount of $462,000.00 in the General Fund, Grant Fund, and Capital Fund.
Summary
The Town Council had appropriated funds in previous years for police equipment, the Wolf Creek
Greenway bathroom project, and the multi-generational park. In consultation with the appropriate
department heads and project managers, those projects did not move forward in FY 2023-2024.
However, the operational expenditures and projects remain a priority and will be pursued in FY 2024-
2025, necessitating the rollover and appropriation of funds from one fiscal year into the next. Moreover,
the Town was recently notified of the award of a grant to cover 80% of the costs associated with the
Wolf Creek Greenway bathroom project.
The proposed resolution and list of appropriations would provide money from fund balances, grants, and
estimated surpluses in interest on investments to cover the appropriations for the listed operational
expenditures and projects in the total amount of $462,000.00.
Section 15.2-2507 of the 1950 Code of Virginia, as amended, requires any locality to hold a Public
Hearing in order to amend its budget when any such amendment exceeds one percent (1%) of the total
expenditures show in the currently adopted budget. The Notice of this Public Hearing was advertised in
The Vinton Messenger on September 5, 2024.

Reimbursement Procedures
1. The recipient understands all funding associated with the Recreational Trails Program is federal funding
made possible from the Federal Highway Administration. Reimbursements are paid on an 80%
reimbursement basis for direct project costs outlined in the approved project budget. Indirect costs are not
eligible for reimbursement. Reimbursement cannot exceed the actual out of pocket expense nor the
approved total award amount. The recipient understands that no Commonwealth of Virginia funding is
associated with this project and no Commonwealth of Virginia funding will be made available for this
project under any circumstances.
2. The recipients understands that reimbursement by the Recreational Trails Program is not a right.
Reimbursements are contingent upon satisfactorily completing the authorized scope of work within the
approved performance period and submitting required documentation for reimbursement.
3. Reimbursement requests must be submitted via email to recreationgrants@dcr.virginia.com. More
detailed guidance documents are available on the DCR RTP website. Each reimbursement request must
include:
a) A signed certification form that includes the amount of DBE participation in the project (if
any), the reimbursement amount being requested, and a breakdown by percentage of the total
cash, donation, volunteer, or in-kind work involved. A template is provided.
b) Receipts, delivery tickets, and packing slips for materials and supplies purchased.
c) Invoices/Schedule of Values (SOV) itemizing charges. All invoices/SOV should reference the
RTP project. Invoices/Schedule of Values must be detailed with an explanation for how the
purchases relate to the RTP authorized work. Invoices/Schedule of Values with expenses for
materials and supplies without corresponding delivery tickets, packing slips, etc. will not be
honored and will be ineligible for reimbursement. When invoices contain other purchases not
related to the RTP project, the purchases applying to the RTP project must be clearly identified.
d) Combination time cards and work logs signed by both the worker and supervisor are required for
labor submitted for reimbursement. These are needed for contract labor performed work, force
account performed work, and volunteer performed work. Daily work logs should include the number
of hours spent on RTP work tasks and describe the tasks performed . Timecards/volunteer logs for
multiple individuals that appear to be in the same handwriting will be deemed ineligible.
e) All expenditures must have an accompanying proof of payment in the form of image of cleared
check (front and back of check), credit card receipt, bank statement, payroll ledger, or pay stub
copies, etc. Internal source documents and accounting databases are not sufficient to prove an
outlay of funds.
f) Holiday, annual, sick, and overtime leave may not be charged to the RTP project.
RTP DCR – Subgrantee Agreement VA RTP Project 360D240 Page 7 of 10
g) Equipment records must clearly identify machinery, date, time, name of operator, rate of the
equipment, and description how the equipment was used in accordance with the authorized RTP
scope of work. Equipment use rates must be discussed with DCR staff prior to conducting work.
If discrepancies exists between the hours on the operator’s time sheets and the equipment records
explanations are required to determine eligibility for reimbursement purposes.
h) The recipient must maintain documentation of all iron, steel, construction materials, and
manufactured products used in the RTP project to support Buy America and Build America, Buy
America compliance unless the total federal funds, including both RTP and other federal sources, are
below $500,000.00. Documentation includes, but is not limited to, certification by the manufacturer,
mill paperwork, etc. Recipients may be required to submit this documentation with reimbursement
requests.
4. The recipient understands the RTP program requires documentation to justify all expenditures associated
with the project before reimbursement can be authorized. Each RTP project is situation specific and
additional information to what is listed in this project agreement may be requested to receive
reimbursement. The failure to provide suitable documentation for authorization from the FHWA for
payment can result in the inability to be reimbursed for work performed, either in whole or in part. In
situations where ambiguity exists in determining how an expense related to the authorized RTP scope of
work no reimbursement will be paid. In situations where ambiguity exists regarding the eligibility of an
expense no reimbursement will be allowed.
5. Projects utilizing other grants and/or other federal funds in addition to the Recreational Trails Program
funding must discuss this with DCR Recreation Grants Staff. Federal Agency recipients may be required to
comply with the 95% rule which states that the total federal dollars from the Department of Transportation
and the Federal Agency project sponsor cannot exceed 95% of the project costs. The recipient is
responsible for adherence to program and eligibility requirements of other federal and non-federal fund
sources used on the project.
6. The final reimbursement request may be held from final payment until the work described in the scope of
work is completed and satisfactorily inspected by DCR.
Special Conditions
1. The recipient consents to DCR use of recipient-submitted and DCR-taken photographs and
project information in award announcements, program publicity, and DCR publications.
2. The public access period and facility life for this project scope of work must be a reasonable
lifespan relative to the trail components and materials used. DCR preference is 20 years beginning
with the date of final reimbursement. The project as described in the scope of work must be
open to the public at time of closeout.
3. The recipient agrees that DCR’s waiver or failure to enforce or require performance of any
term or conditions of this project agreement or DCR’s waiver of any particular breach of this
project agreement by the recipient extends to that instance only. Such a waiver or failure to
enforce is not and shall not be a waiver of any of the terms or conditions of this project
agreement or a waiver of any other breaches of the project agreement by the recipient and does
not bar DCR from asserting any and all rights and/or remedies it has or might have against the
recipient under this project agreement or by law.
RTP DCR – Subgrantee Agreement VA RTP Project 360D240 Page 8 of 10
4. The recipient understands that the Recreational Trails Program is a federally funded program subject to
actions by Congress and regulatory changes which may impact the execution of this project by the
recipient. DCR will work with the recipient in adjusting to any changes that occur during the life of this
project as soon as any changes are made known to us.

CHAPTER 79
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
INTRODUCTION
The Town of Vinton finds that inadequate management of stormwater runoff from land-disturbing
activities and development in watersheds increases flood flows and velocities, erodes and/or silts
stream channels, pollutes water, overloads existing drainage facilities, undermines floodplain
management in downstream communities, reduces groundwater recharge, and threatens public
safety. More specifically, surface water runoff can carry pollutants into receiving waters. The
Roanoke River and many of its tributaries inside the Town are listed as impaired waters by the
Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).
Many future problems can be avoided through proper stormwater management, and the Town is
dedicated to preventing the damaging effects that uncontrolled stormwater may present. The lands
and waters of Town of Vinton are valuable natural resources that need to be protected. The Town
finds that it is in the public interest to establish a stormwater management program.
Pursuant to Virginia Code § 62.1-44.15:27, this ordinance is part of an initiative to integrate the
Town’s stormwater management requirements with the Town’s erosion and sediment control
(Chapter 35) and floodplain management (Appendix B. Zoning Ordinance, Article IV, Division
13, Section 4-65 through Section 4-73) requirements into a unified stormwater program. The
unified stormwater program is intended to facilitate the submission and approval of plans, issuance
of permits, payment of fees, and coordination of inspection and enforcement activities into a more
convenient and efficient manner for both the Town of Vinton and those responsible for compliance
with these programs.
