The Mayor called the joint work session to
order for 8 briefing of the final draft of the Public
R8G|rn Design Guidelines and the Action Plan for
the DOVVOk}Nn Ud]@O Development Area /UDA\.
and the framework for the zoning and subdivision

with RhOd8Side & H@RNe||. the two CODSU|i8DtS
who provided the prOf9SSiOn8| consulting
services.
Mc G8vrlovic commented that the Town
received the first UD/\ Grant to establish Urban
Development Areas and this is the second one.
This is 8 State pnOgn8Dl and OO TOVVO funds were
expended for the grant. Mr. GGvri|0viC next

Economic
Mr. Booth asked if the landscaping
recommendations would be mandatory. Mr.
Gavrilovic responded that they are mandatory
now, but only in certain districts and zones. The
recommendation is that they be mandatory
across all districts. Mr. Booth next asked if there
were recommendations for certain species. Mr.
Gavrilovic responded no, but they would
recommend the standards set by the American
Nursery & Landscape Association.
Mr. Jones asked if the mandate for medical pods
approximately three years ago would go along
with the Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU),
recommendation. Mr. Gavrilovic responded that
a lot of people use ADUs to provide for family
members or individuals they are caring for.
However, the medical pods would be
independent because the state legislation has
specific requirements and that provision should
remain in the Town Code. Council Member
Scheid commented that we will need to have
some discussion at a future time about AIRnbs
and VRBO because this would begin to more
easily allow ADUs and they would become more
popular.
Council Member Scheid next commented that
these are recommended guidelines and nothing
would change our current zoning ordinance at
this point in time. Ms. McMillan responded that
we will have a Public Hearing to adopt the
Downtown Action Plan and the Guidelines. Over
the next six months there will be a review of the e
whole zoning ordinance to see what changes
need to be made. There was further discussion
on the requirement for the owner of a primary
dwelling unit to live on site in order to build an
ADU.
Mr. Pastore next shared a PowerPoint
presentation on the Downtown Public Realm
Design Guidelines and Downtown Action Plan.
(A copy of the presentation is on file in the Town
Clerk's Office and will be made a part of the
permanent record.)
Council Member Scheid asked how we would
incentivize people to make fagade improvements
to their buildings. Mr. Pastore responded that
you could require property owners to use these
guidelines in order to participate in the fagade
grant program in downtown or begin to
2
iDlDkeDlert more k}C8| historic districts. There
was further discussion On h0vv to use the
guidelines. MG. McMillan C0rnrn8ntgd that most
of the time when SO[DeOD8 CODleS in about the
f8g@de grant they ask if we have any iOCeDUV8S.
We tell them that if they meet these guidelines
they can get up to 5096. so at least we have
SODleihiDg they can show tOtheir architect.

commented that we did have 8 C|e2D report this
year and then turned the meeting over to Travis
MC Gilmer first CODlDleOted that this is the required
public presentation of the audit for 2018. The
nasu|La of the audit and related deliverables were
discussed iDgreat detail iOthe Finance Committee
nn88Ung earlier today. This year was very
challenging because of the implementation Of 8
very significant accounting standard and the State
got the information to them |8t8. The Obi8Ctiv8S of
the audit are k]opine 0nthe financial statements
and DD[Op|i8DC8 with |@VVS and negU|8tiUOS that are

On Page 14-15. in terms of the Water and Sewer
Fund, the change innet position for the water and
88vv8r and SfOnnvv8t8r are both pVSdUv8, which
means both funds were able togenerate enough
fees to cover their own expenses. K4[. Gilmer
reminded Council to keep up with their rate
inCn8GSeS. Over the past five years the funds have
been self-sufficient.
Mr. Gilmer next referred b] Page 44. which related
to the pension with VRS. Last year it was
8pp[OXiDl8[e|y $2.5 ORi||iOD and this year it VVeDL
down to $14 DliUiOD. The [DG[k8i did F8@||y well
last year and the results are measured a year
behind. The TOVVO is only required to contribute
the rates set by the VIRG, which is what every
SinA|8 |0C8|itv is doing. On PGA8 47, is the new
{)PEBstandard for this year. With VIRGthere are
other post -employment benefits such as health

These were always buried in the notes previously,
but this St@Od8nd neOOOV8d them from the notes

The Town Manager wished Council a Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Under reports from Council Committees,
Anne Cantrell first commented that the Finance
Committee met today at 2:30 p.m. At that
meeting, Brown Edwards reviewed the CAFR.
Information was provided on an upgrade to our
website to Version 5 and the County has worked
to negotiate a cost to the Town of $6,125. The
Committee has directed staff to look for funds to
cover this cost or come back to Council for an
appropriation. The Finance Department has been
given notice by our current provider for our
animal license software that they will no longer
cover us after April 1, 2019 and they are
researching other options. The Senior Program
Budget and the Housing Grant Budget
appropriations approved under the consent
agenda were reviewed. The sales tax legislation
was not discussed at this meeting.
With regard to the October financials, the cash
position looked very good in October, but was
slightly inflated due to the $450,000 we moved
out of the CD back into the checking account for
the purchase of land. The total cash and
investments in the General Fund was $2.4
million. The Grant fund was negative $32,000
due to waiting on a reimbursement. In the Utility
Fund, we were at $1.1 million in cash and
$713,000 in investments with a total was $1.89
million. We did have cash available in the
Stormwater Fund of $48,000. The total cash
and investments at the end of October was
approximately $4,300,000.
Ms. Cantrell next commented that with revenues
we received 105% of the budget expectation. A
good piece of that was sales tax which was
$27,000 above what was expected and property
taxes are coming in faster than anticipated. Two
areas that are being watched that are under
target are the fines and forfeitures and charges
for services. We are still waiting on some
reimbursements for the Grant Fund.
In the Utility Fund, we projected $1.1 million and
we brought in $1.3 million, which was $152,000
above target. We feel that part of this has to do
with meter replacements, more accurate
readings on consumption and more timely
payments being received in the office. With
regard to the Stormwater Fund, we are right on
target because that is a transfer between the two
funds.
Ms. Cantrell next commented that we are at 93%
of our projections for expenditures in the General
Fund. We are 5% of the projections in the Grant
Fund which is mainly due to the Glade Creek
Grant that is outstanding for Phase 11 of
$510,000. There is a chance we may be getting
close to a single audit in the near future. In the
Utility Fund we are at 85% of the budget
expectation. We had expected to spend $1.3
million and we only spent $1.1 million, which is
due to vacancies are in the departments. The
Stormwater Fund is only at 69% of budget
expectations which is also due to vacancies and
the timing of some projects.
The last item discussed at the Finance
Committee was the budget calendar. We have
created a target to try and have the FY2020
budget adopted on May 21, 2019.
Council Member Scheid made a motion to
approve the October 2018 Financial Report as
presented; the motion was seconded by Council
Member Stovall and carried by the following vote,
with all members voting: Vote 4-0; Yeas (4) —
Scheid, Stovall, Liles, Grose; Nays (0) — None;
Absent (1) - McCarty.
The Mayor commented on the success of the
Christmas parade, the State of the Town and the
ribbon cuttings for the OTB and Blue Valley Vet
located in the HIVE. The Mayor also wished
everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year.
Comments from Council: Vice Mayor Liles
commented on the success of the parade and the
Holiday employee lunch. He congratulated Anne
Cantrell on being selected as the employee of the
year and commented on the ribbon cutting for the
OTB. Council Member Stovall commented on the
momentum of the Town going into 2019 and we
have a lot to be proud of. Both wished everyone
a Merry Christmas.
Approved the October 2018 Financial
Report
n
Randy Layman expressed appreciation to
Council and the Town generally for taking such
good care of his wife, Mary Beth Layman. Also, as
the current President of the Historical Society, he
invited everyone to visit the Museum when they re-
open on January 14t"
Council Member Scheid commented that she
wanted to continue the theme of progress and all
the things that are happening in the Town and
mentioned a series of editorials that were in the
paper recounting an article in the Atlantic
Magazine written by James Fallows. She then
commented that the article spoke about how much
faith and positivity there is at the local government
level compared to the federal government. Two
trends he talked about that are relevant to us are
civic stability and long range planning. He also
talked about the longevity of Mayors and how that
really provides a lot of stability to local
governments.
Council Member Scheid next commented that the
article also talked about libraries and that ten years
ago people really wrote libraries off, but the Town
in partnership with Roanoke County has shown
how important a library can be as a place of civic
engagement. It is important to recognize that long
range planning is important and thinking ahead is
important and having the courage to take those big
steps is critical. Vinton has in the past and
continues to show the willingness to do that. She
then wished everyone a Merry Christmas.
William Booth commented from the audience
on how much families are an important part of
those that serve in public service. Mr. Booth then
asked what the current population was of the Town
and the Mayor responded approximately 8,200.
The Mayor also expressed appreciation to
Debbie Adams with the Vinton Messenger for her
coverage of the meetings and events in the Town.
Vice Mayor Liles made a motion to adjourn the
meeting; the motion was seconded by Council
Member Stovall and carried by the following vote,
with all members voting: Vote 4-0; Yeas (4) —
