Account for unresolved change orders on the Glade

for in the original contract price. The project is now
completed, but the contractor has submitted a

and then bring it back to the March 16th meeting for

Planning and Zoning
Issue
Consideration of public comments regarding the petition of the Town of Vinton, to rezone the historic
Gish Mill properties, from M-1 Limited Industrial to Mixed Use Development (MUD) District, in order
to redevelop them into a mixed-use property that will accommodate restaurant, retail, residential, and
lodging uses, said properties being located at 350 and 0 Gus Nicks Boulevard, Vinton, Virginia, Tax
Map Numbers 060.11-04-22.00-0000 and 060.11-04-23.00-0000.
Summary
The proposed redevelopment of the historic Gish Mill property requires that the parcels involved be
rezoned in order to accommodate uses that will allow the project to be economically viable. The
developer’s intended use for the mill site is to incorporate several value-added compatible uses, which
launch from popular trends that work very well with the open format historic space. The building will
be designed to feature several uses that take advantage of the creekside location, the unconventional
construction methods, and varying dimensions and angles featured by the mill space. The specific uses
include a small restaurant, a seasonal market, a speakeasy in the basement, and the conversion of the
original mill structure, concrete silos, and, and upper floors of the original mill structure into lodging
with potential use for apartment units (3-10 rooms). The anticipated tenant to operate the restaurant
and lodge has already been secured for the project.
The redevelopment project will generate private investment in excess of $1.9 Million and establish the
creation of approximately 41 jobs and result in the rehabilitation of a historic, yet currently blighted
property that is located on one of three main gateway entrances into the Town with an average daily
traffic count of 21,000 vehicles per day according to 2019 VDOT traffic data.
The Development Team will present a 3-D rendering of the future interior and exterior renovations to
the property to Town Council during the briefing on this request. If the rezoning request for the parcels
is approved by the Town Council, a formal site plan for the Project must be submitted for review and
approval by the Town of Vinton and County of Roanoke.

No-Rise Certification
•The Town utilized the consulting services of Draper
Aden Associates to verify that the proposed
redevelopment project would not cause a rise in the
base flood elevation.The consultants were able to
utilize the plans of the proposed improvements from
the development team and implement them into the
flood models.The conclusion of this H&H study was
that the proposed project will not cause a rise in the
base flood elevations.

Floodplain Variance Process (BZA)
•The Gish Mill structure meets the definition of a “historic structure” set out in the
definition section of Division 13, FO Floodplain Overlay District, of the Vinton Zoning
Ordinance. Specifically, the Gish Mill structure meets the definition of subsection (a)
pertaining to being “preliminary determined” for individual listing on the National
Register.
•Both the Town of Vinton and the Development Team understand that meeting this
definition does not automatically exempt this project and its associated activities
from the requirements of the floodplain ordinance. However, specific variances
from the floodplain ordinance are being requested by the Town of Vinton with a
public hearing of the Board of Zoning Appeals scheduled for March 30, 2021.

Presented by:
Overview
•The developer’s intended use for the mill site is to incorporate several value-added
compatible uses, which launch from popular trends that work very well with the open format
historic space.The building will be designed to feature several uses that take advantage of
the creekside location,the unconventional construction methods,and varying dimensions
and angles featured by the mill space.The specific uses include a small restaurant, a seasonal
market,a speakeasy in the basement, and the conversion of the original mill structure,
concrete silos,and upper floors of the original mill structure into lodging or apartments (3-10
units).
•The anticipated tenant to operate the restaurant and lodge has already been secured for the
project.The development also includes substantial outdoor spaces including dining, deck,
and patio space.The historic “sluice” will be utilized as an intimate seating area with stairs
that cascade down to the creek.
18
Square Footage of Uses
•Based on the preliminary floor plans, the development will include:
•(1) Restaurant (back of house, kitchen,and dining space): 5,030 square feet (First floor)
•(2)Market:1,250 square feet (First floor)
•(3)Speakeasy:1,296 square feet (Basement)
•(4)Original Mill and silos converted into lodging/apartments: 5,800 square feet (Second
and Third floor)
•(5) Outdoor dining, deck and patio space: 3,564 square feet (including the deck and patio
area utilizing the existing slab)

Comprehensive Plan/Future Land Use
•The 2004 –2024 Town Comprehensive Plan designates this property and
the surrounding properties to the southeast as a general commercial land
use area. The properties to the west of this property (across Gus Nicks
Boulevard)are designated as parks and recreation,community facilities,
and high density residential uses.The properties to the west were rezoned
to Mixed Use Development (MUD)in 2016 to allow for the existing vacant
school buildings to be adaptively reused as residential and
recreational/small business flex space.
34 Planning and Zoning Department
Staff Conclusion
•Approval of the proposed rezoning from M-1 Limited Industrial to Mixed Use
Development (MUD) District would allow the existing Gish Mill property to be
redeveloped into a mixed-use property that will accommodate restaurant, retail,
residential, and lodging uses. The proposed redevelopment of the historic Gish Mill
property would be consistent with the existing uses of the adjoining properties to
the west and southeast which contain both residential and commercial uses.
•The redevelopment of the property will promote and encourage the economic
vitality of the community and preserve a historic building while providing increased
economic investment. Additionally, the proposed uses will not adversely affect
adjoining properties and will enhance the neighborhood by taking an important
historical structure and repurposing it for a suitable alternative use that maintains
the historic architecture and setting of the buildings. Adequate utilities and public
facilities are already in place to serve the proposed end uses.
35 Planning and Zoning Department
Staff Conclusion (cont.)
•Overall, the rezoning of the parcels included in the Gish Mill site will be the third MUD
rezoning process in the Town of Vinton. The other two projects that involved the
rezoning of parcels to MUD in the Town of Vinton included the Roland E. Cook Lofts and
the Billy Byrd Apartment projects, which were formerly owned by Roanoke County Board
of Supervisors. The Roland E. Cook Lofts and Billy Byrd Apartments projects have proven
to be a benchmark of success in the revitalization of historic buildings through the
utilization of historic tax credit programs and local governmental (County of Roanoke
and Town of Vinton) coordination.

CASE NUMBER: PC-21-001 DATE: March 8, 2021
Application Information
Request: Rezoning Request (M-1 to MUD)
Owner: Town of Vinton
Applicant: Town of Vinton
Site Address/Location: 350 and 0 Gus Nicks Boulevard, Vinton, Virginia
Tax Parcel ID #: 060.11-04-22.00-0000 and 060.11-04-23.00-0000

Zoning: M-1 Limited Industrial District
Existing Land Use: Currently vacant; previous use was a farm supply retail store and
warehouse.
Proposed Land Use: Mixed-use property that will accommodate restaurant, retail,

Specified Future Land Use: General Commercial
A. NATURE OF REQUEST
Petition of the Town of Vinton, to rezone the historic Gish Mill properties, from M-1 Limited Industrial
to Mixed Use Development (MUD) District, in order for the properties to be redeveloped into a mixed-
use property that will accommodate restaurant, retail, residential, and lodging uses. The properties are
located at 350 and 0 Gus Nicks Boulevard, Vinton, Virginia, Tax Map Numbers 060.11-04-22.00-0000
and 060.11-04-23.00-0000.
B. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
The property is currently zoned M-1 Limited Industrial District which does not allow mixed uses to be
located within the same building. Mixed residential and business uses within the same building are
currently only allowed in the business districts such as GB General Business (under certain conditions),
CB Central Business (under certain conditions), PD Planned Development, or MUD Mixed Use Districts.
Mixed use is intended as an improvement over traditional, segregated-use zoning. It is a way of creating
a multi-use, multi-purpose building or set of buildings, incorporating some combination of residential,
commercial, industrial, office, institutional, or other land uses as part of the overall environment. The
Town’s Mixed Use Development (MUD) district was adopted on April 21, 2015. The intent of the Mixed
Use Development district is to encourage the orderly development of mixed residential/commercial sites
and to encourage innovative development patterns that create a desirable environment, particularly for
several vacant parcels, buildings, and underutilized properties located throughout the Town, which contain
a number of constraints to conventional development.
C. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS
Background – Being the founding structure for the Town of Vinton, the Gish Mill site bears a substantial
amount of historical significance for the locality. In fact, the Mill is featured as the crown jewel of the
Town’s seal. Although the mill operated continuously since the 1770s, in its final years of occupancy it
was used as a farm supply retail store and warehouse which ultimately closed in December 2014.
Unfortunately, decades of deferred maintenance and exposure to the elements contributed to its current
deleterious condition and the necessity of major repairs and improvements.
Beyond its historical significance, the mill site is currently positioned both geographically and
strategically to have a catalytic impact on the area’s economic, vocational, and cultural growth. In addition
to being within the designated Downtown UDA, the project site is specifically located along the major
gateway to the Downtown corridor and is the first major landmark individuals see when they enter the
Town of Vinton on Gus Nicks Boulevard. Reactivating this commercial and historic mill at the gateway
to Vinton will provide a vibrant welcome to residents, and visitors, and to those passing through on their
way to Smith Mountain Lake and Blue Ridge Parkway.
The Town of Vinton purchased the 1.154 acres property in October of 2015, due to the historical
significance to the community and the Town’s eventual charter in 1884. Council’s desire has been to
preserve and encourage the structure to be rehabilitated and eventually returned to commercial use.
Following the issuance of a Request for Proposal (RFP) in 2019, the Town of Vinton received a formal
proposal from Gish Mill Davii, LLC, to convert the historic property into a mixed- use development with
the following uses: a small restaurant, a seasonal market, a speakeasy in the basement, and the conversion
of the original mill structure, concrete silos, and upper floors of the original mill structure into lodging
with potential use for apartment units (3-10 rooms). The anticipated tenant to operate the restaurant and
lodge has already been secured for the project.
Since the acquisition, the Town of Vinton has completed Phase I and Phase II environmental assessments,
has completed the historic reviews necessary for the property to be preliminary determined for individual
listing on the National Register by the Department of Historic Resources (DHR), and obtained grant funds
from two state government agencies which make the project financially feasible. The first grant from the
DHR Emergency Supplemental Historic Preservation Fund (ESHPF) grant program includes $250,000 in
available funding for repair and stabilization work to take place on the property. The second grant to the
Town is to be administered in the form of a loan of $468,750 through the Economic Development
Authority (EDA) from the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) Industrial
Revitalization Fund (IRF).
The redevelopment project will generate private investment in excess of $1.9 Million and establish the
creation of approximately 41 jobs and result in the rehabilitation of a historic, yet currently-blighted
property that is located on one of four main gateway entrances into the Town with an average daily traffic
count of 21,000 vehicles per day based on 2019 Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) data.
The site is also located along the proposed Glade Creek Greenway extension, which will link Downtown
Vinton and Vinyard Park to the extensive Roanoke Valley Greenway system. The Town of Vinton has
also secured Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG)
funds to construct a pedestrian mid-block crossing on Gus Nicks Boulevard to provide a safe means of
travel to the Gish Mill site from the soon to be constructed Glade Creek Phase II project and the newly
redeveloped 84-unit apartment building (Billy Byrd Apartments).
Overall, this project is currently of the highest priority for the Town of Vinton in the realm of
redevelopment and there is not another vacant and deteriorated property that has the potential for the level
of economic and social impact that this site could bring to the area.
Location – 350 and 0 Gus Nicks Boulevard, Vinton, Virginia. Former Holdren’s County Store. The parcels
can be accessed from Gus Nicks Boulevard and West Madison Avenue.
Topography/Vegetation – The existing structure is located adjacent to Glade Creek on a level lot that is
comprised mostly of impervious surfaces. In relation to its special location, the Gish Mill, in serving its
historic milling purposes, is located in the regulatory floodway and Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA)
of the Glade Creek floodplain. Because the Town of Vinton is a FEMA Community Rating System (CRS)
Class 8 Community, Town staff are diligent in administering the highest forms of regulatory controls for
development and activities in the Town’s floodplain areas.
Adjacent Zoning and Land Uses – The land uses within the vicinity of the subject property are summarized
below.

Manufacturing (Sav’ On Signs)
D. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Site Layout/Architecture - The developer’s intended use for the mill site is to incorporate several value-
added compatible uses, which launch from popular trends that work very well with the open format
historic space. The building will be designed to feature several uses that take advantage of the creekside
location, the unconventional construction methods, and varying dimensions and angles featured by the
mill space. The specific uses include a small restaurant, a seasonal market, a speakeasy in the basement,
and the conversion of the original mill structure, concrete silos, and upper floors of the original mill
structure into lodging or apartments (3-10 units). The anticipated tenant to operate the restaurant and lodge
has already been secured for the project. The development also includes substantial outdoor spaces
including dining, deck, and patio space. The historic “sluice” will be utilized as an intimate seating area
with stairs that cascade down to the creek.
Based on the preliminary floor plans, the development will include:
(1) Restaurant (back of house, kitchen, and dining space): 5,030 square feet (First floor)
(2) Market: 1,250 square feet (First floor)
(3) Speakeasy: 1,296 square feet (Basement)
(4) Original Mill and silos converted into lodging/apartments: 5,800 square feet (Second and Third floor)
(5) Outdoor dining, deck and patio space: 3,564 square feet (incl. deck and addition to existing slab)
Many of the existing mature trees will be retained. The existing sidewalk connections will be retained
and will be extended into the site providing pedestrian access from each direction of Gus Nicks. The
existing asphalt parking areas will be redeveloped and landscaped for 28 off-street parking spaces
including two accessible spaces. Additionally, there exists an opportunity for a substantial overflow
parking area adjacent to West Madison Avenue.
The historic building will be preserved and sensitively adapted for mixed uses. The building will retain
its architectural character and its environmental setting. Visible changes to the exterior of the property and
building will be minor. The Mixed-Use Development District will allow this space to be used for flexible
space, offering opportunities for community activities, music, and special events perhaps including
“movie nights” utilizing the historic building façade for an outdoor projection area.
Please see attached survey, property map, aerial photography, and conceptual site plan including parking
areas and floor plans of the structure in Appendix A. The Development Team will present a conceptual 3-
D rendering of the future interior and exterior renovations to the property to Town Council during the
briefing on this request. If the rezoning request for the parcels is approved by the Town Council, a formal
site plan for the Project must be submitted for review and approval by the Town of Vinton and County of
Roanoke.
Parking – As shown in the submitted conceptual plan, the internal Gish Mill site will allow 28 off-street
parking spaces including two accessible spaces. There is also opportunity for parking adjacent to West
Madison Avenue that could potentially provide over 13 off-site spaces, which will bring the total parking
space count to about 41.
Site Access – The parcel can currently be accessed from Gus Nicks Boulevard and West Madison Avenue
via two (2) commercial entrances that accommodate for both ingress and egress. The Town of Vinton has
also secured VDOT Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) funds to construct a pedestrian mid-
block crossing on Gus Nicks Boulevard to provide a safe means of travel to the Gish Mill site from the
soon to be constructed Glade Creek Phase II project and the newly redeveloped 84-unit apartment building
(Billy Byrd Apartments).
Utilities – Public water and sewer services are available for the existing structure.
E. NO-RISE CERTIFICATION (HYDROLOGIC AND HYDRAULIC STUDY)
The Town utilized the consulting services of Draper Aden Associates to verify that the proposed
redevelopment project would not cause a rise in the base flood elevation. The consultants were able to
utilize the plans of the proposed improvements from the development team and implement them into the
flood models. The conclusion of this H&H study was that the proposed project will not cause a rise in
the base flood elevations. Both the “Memorandum” from the consultant and the signed “No-Rise
Certificate” can be found in Appendix B of this report.
The Gish Mill structure meets the definition of a “historic structure” set out in the definition section of
Division 13, FO Floodplain Overlay District, of the Vinton Zoning Ordinance. Specifically, the Gish Mill
structure meets the definition of subsection (a) pertaining to being “preliminary determined” for individual
listing on the National Register. The letter attached in Appendix C states that the Virginia “Department of
Historic Resources has evaluated the property and has determined that is appears to be eligible for
inclusion in the Virginia Landmarks Register. In accord with the provisions of Sec. 58.1-339.2 of the Code
of Virginia, then, the property is a certified historic structure.”
Both the Town of Vinton and the Development Team understand that meeting this definition does not
automatically exempt this project and its associated activities from the requirements of the floodplain
ordinance. However, specific variances from the floodplain ordinance are being requested by the Town of
Vinton with a public hearing of the Board of Zoning Appeals scheduled for March 30, 2021.
Additionally, the Town and the Development Team understand that Historic structures undergoing repair
or rehabilitation that would constitute a substantial improvement as defined above, must comply with all
requirements of this division that do not preclude the structure's continued designation as a historic
structure. Documentation that a specific ordinance requirement will cause removal of the structure from
the National Register of Historic Places or the state inventory of historic places must be obtained from the
Secretary of the Interior or the state historic preservation officer. Any exemption from ordinance
requirements will be the minimum necessary to preserve the historic character and design of the structure.
To aid in this process, all of the work being completed during both the repair and stabilization phase and
the overall redevelopment phase will be reviewed and approved of by the Department of Historic
Resources before it proceeds. In fact, this is a requirement of both the DHR grant guidelines and the
overarching commitment in seeking historic tax credits at the end of this redevelopment project.
F. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN/FUTURE LAND USE
The 2004 – 2024 Town Comprehensive Plan designates this property and the surrounding properties to
the southeast as a general commercial land use area. The properties to the west of this property (across
Gus Nicks Boulevard) are designated as parks and recreation, community facilities, and high density
residential uses. The properties to the west were rezoned to Mixed Use Development (MUD) in 2016 to
allow for the existing vacant school buildings to be adaptively reused as residential and recreational/small
business flex space.
G. STAFF CONCLUSION
Approval of the proposed rezoning from M-1 Limited Industrial to Mixed Use Development (MUD)
District would allow the existing Gish Mill property to be redeveloped into a mixed-use property that will
accommodate restaurant, retail, residential, and lodging uses. The proposed redevelopment of the historic
Gish Mill property would be consistent with the existing uses of the adjoining properties to the west and
southeast which contain both residential and commercial uses.
The redevelopment of the property will promote and encourage the economic vitality of the community
and preserve a historic building while providing increased economic investment. Additionally, the
proposed uses will not adversely affect adjoining properties and will enhance the neighborhood by taking
an important historical structure and repurposing it for a suitable alternative use that maintains the historic
architecture and setting of the buildings. Adequate utilities and public facilities are already in place to
serve the proposed end uses.
Overall, the rezoning of the parcels included in the Gish Mill site will be the third MUD rezoning process
in the Town of Vinton. The other two projects that involved the rezoning of parcels to MUD in the Town
of Vinton included the Roland E. Cook Lofts and the Billy Byrd Apartment projects, which were formerly
owned by Roanoke County Board of Supervisors. The Roland E. Cook Lofts and Billy Byrd Apartments
projects have proven to be a benchmark of success in the revitalization of historic buildings through the
utilization of historic tax credit programs and local governmental (County of Roanoke and Town of
Vinton) coordination.

Background
Gish Mill Davii is proposing to renovate the exiting Gish Mill into a commercial and residential
development. Gish Mill is an historic structure adjacent to Glade Creek and is within the creek’s
regulatory floodplain and floodway. The proposed improvements were analyzed to confirm the impacts
will not cause a rise in the base flood elevation. The proposed work is within a Special Flood Hazard
Zone, identified as Zone AE on the attached FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map No. 51161C0167G dated
September 28, 2007.
Flood Modeling
As the first step, a duplicate effective model (DEM) was run using HEC-RAS 5.0 to check for changes in
the base flood elevation (BFE) between the model and the original HEC-2 output, as provided by the
Town. The following table shows the difference between the HEC-2 and DEM base flood elevations.
Station HEC-2 BFE,
feet
DEM BFE, feet
4048 919.0 919.5
918.7
4500 919.8 920.1
4950 924.0 924.1
5034 924.7 924.8
5046 924.7 925.0
The DEM was revised to include a new, existing conditions cross-sections at river station 4250; this is
the corrected effective model (CEM). Elevations for the new cross-section was determined using the
topography provided for this project; the elevations were adjusted by 0.65 feet to match the datum of
MEMORANDUM to the Town of Vinton
March 5, 2021

the existing flood model. The following table shows the difference between the DEM and CEM base
flood elevations.
Station DEM BFE, feet CEM BFE, feet
4048 919.5 919.5
4250 - 919.6
4500 920.1 919.5
4950 924.1 924.1
5034 924.8 924.8
5046 925.0 925.0
Cross-sections 4150 and 4250 were adjusted for proposed improvements as shown in the plans Gish
Mill Revitalization, Sheet L-101 and L-201, dated January 25, 2021; this is the proposed model (PCM).
The following table shows the difference between the CEM and PM base flood elevations.
Station CEM BFE, feet
Proposed BFE,
feet
4048 919.5 919.5 0.0
4150 919.3 919.3 0.0
4250 919.6 919.6
4500 919.5 919.5 0.0

5034 924.8 924.8 0.0
5046 925.0 925.0 0.0
Therefore the proposed project, based in the information received, does not cause a rise in the base
flood elevation.

Issue
Consider adoption of a Resolution setting the allocation percentage for Personal Property Tax Relief in the
Town of Vinton for the 2021 tax year.
Summary
The Personal Property Tax Relief Act (PPTRA or the Act) of 1998 established a statewide program to
provide relief to owners of personal use motor vehicles. The 1998 Act envisioned a five-year phase-in of
relief expressed as a percentage of the bill related to the first $20,000 of personal use vehicle value. Costs
soared and percentage was frozen at 70% since 2001.
In 2004 and 2005, additional legislation was passed to amend the original Act. This legislation capped
PPTRA at $950 million for all Virginia localities for Tax Years 2006 and beyond. PPTRA funds are
allocated to individual localities based on each government’s pro rata share of Tax Year 2004 payments
from the Commonwealth. The Town’s share of the $950 million is $203,096.
In order to put these changes into effect, the Town Council adopted an Ordinance that set the framework
for the implementation and administration of the 2004-2005 changes to the Personal Property Tax Relief
Act (PPTRA) of 1998. This ordinance was adopted on December 6, 2005.
The Town uses The PPTRA Allocation Model developed by the State to calculate the effective
reimbursement rate. This model uses historical trends and a five-year rolling average to calculate the
effective reimbursement rate. This same methodology for calculating the rate is used by many of our
neighboring localities.
In 2021, once again the County Finance staff computed the effective reimbursement rate based upon the
PPTRA allocation model. The percentage is similar to those localities that are ready to adopt their
resolutions. The rate for the Town of Vinton is 53.95%.

3. That qualifying personal use vehicles valued at $20,001 or more shall only receive
53.95% tax relief on the first $20,000 of value.
4. That all other vehicles which do not meet the definition of “qualifying” (for example,
including but not limited to, business use vehicles, farm use vehicles, motor homes, etc.)
will not be eligible for any form of tax relief under this program.
5. That the percentages applied to the categories of qualifying personal use vehicles are
estimated fully to use all available PPTRA funds allocated to the Town of Vinton by the
Commonwealth of Virginia.
6. That entitlement to personal property tax relief for qualifying vehicles for tax year 2005
and all prior tax years shall expire on September 1, 2006, or when the state funding for
tax relief is exhausted or depleted. Supplemental assessments for tax years 2005 and
prior that are made on or after September 1, 2006 shall be deemed ‘non-qualifying’ for
2
purposes of state tax relief and the local share due from the taxpayer shall represent 100%

Consider adoption of a Resolution approving a new General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance Policy
Summary
As a part of the budget process, Town Staff has reviewed the General Fund Reserve Policy
(Unrestricted Fund Balance) and has proposed updates to bring the policy in line to the current
financial climate. The main changes of the policy include the creation of a policy floor of two (2)
months General Fund budgeted revenues, and a policy target of four (4) months General Fund
budgeted revenues. The dollar limit restriction on use of fund balance has been removed to align
with the current cash flow practices and a pooled cash method. Unrestricted Fund Balance in
excess of the policy target can be used to fund one-time projects or capital needs that were unable
to be funded in the previous or current budget. The policy recommends an annual or bi-annual
review in conjunction with the budget process.
Council was briefed on this matter at their March 16, 2021 meeting.

Agenda Summary
1
Town of Vinton, Virginia
General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance Policy
Purpose:
The Town of Vinton establishes its General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance policy to
maintain adequate levels of fund balance to mitigate current and future risks and to ensure
stable tax rates.
Reserve Level:
The Town Council hereby establishes the following minimum General Fund reserve
target:
1. The Town shall strive to maintain a General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance not
to fall below two months of budgeted General Fund Revenues, the policy floor, and
the Town will target to maintain an Unassigned Fund Balance equal to four months
of budgeted General Fund Revenues, the policy target. These funds are set-aside
to address potential identified risks:
a. Economic Uncertainty – A high percentage of Town Revenues are based
on consumer driven spending versus assessed property taxes. Adequate
Unassigned Fund Balance will allow the Town to be prepared for rises and
falls in the local economy, and will help mitigate the need for tax increases
to offset losses.
b. Emergency Reserve – Unplanned natural disasters and unforeseeable
emergencies can create a difficult situation without appropriate Unassigned
Fund Balance or cash reserves to pay unplanned costs. The Town strives
to maintain an adequate level of Unassigned Fund Balance to allow quick
recovery from an extreme event.
c. Working Capital – The Town Revenue sources are lower during the first six
months or the year although budgeted expenditures are planned on a more
consistent basis. Maintaining an adequate level of Unassigned Fund
provides the Town with appropriate reserves for cash flow to keep
consistent spending and decrease the occurrence of spending freezes.
2. The appropriate level of General Fund reserves shall be reviewed annually each
year during the budget preparation.
2
Use of Reserve Funds:
Economic Uncertainty – Funds reserved under this category shall be used to mitigate
annual revenue shortfalls (actual revenues less than projected revenues) due to
slowdown in local economic conditions as well as reductions in revenues caused by
actions by State/Federal governments. Should any unanticipated reductions in revenues
be deemed to be recurring, adjustments will be made in the following budget so as to
reflect revised revenue projections.
Any reserve funds expended within this category that result in year-end reserves below
the established policy floor level shall be restored in the subsequent budget year.
However, if the reserve level falls to below ten percent (10%) of budgeted General Fund
Revenues, the Town Council may restore funds over a multi-year period.
Emergency Reserve - Funds reserved under this category shall be used to mitigate costs
associated with unforeseen emergencies, including natural disasters. Should unforeseen
and unavoidable events occur that require expenditure of Town resources beyond those
provided for in the annual budget, the Town Manager shall have the authority to approve
appropriation of Emergency Reserve Funds. The Town Manager shall then present to
the Town Council – no later than its first regularly scheduled meeting – a resolution
confirming the nature of the emergency and formally authorizing the appropriation of
reserve funds.
Working Capital – The Town uses a pooled cash method of accounting, which accounts
for funds separately on the General Ledger, but allows cash balances to be combined in
banking institutions for ease of use and/or higher interest earnings. The Town Treasurer
may use the Unassigned Fund Balance during the year to provide adequate cash flow for
expenditure needs during low periods of revenue collection or to account for reimbursable
expenditures. If the Unassigned Fund Balance is not adequate to meet anticipated cash
flow needs, the Treasurer will work with the impacted Departments to create a plan of
action to avoid overspending of available cash reserves.
Excess Fund Balance:
After the end of each fiscal year, the Treasurer’s Office/Finance Department will report
on the audited year-end budgetary fiscal results. Should actual General Fund revenues
exceed expenditures, a year-end operating surplus shall be reported. Any year-end
operating surplus which results in the General Fund balance exceeding the policy target
level shall be deemed available for allocation for the following, subject to Council
approval:
1. Transfer to the Capital Fund for appropriation within the Capital Improvement
Program Budget and/or Deferred Maintenance Program for non-recurring needs
or establishing a balance for future Capital Projects.
3
2. Re-evaluate items from the subsequent year’s operating budget that were not
funded because of concern of budget shortfalls and provide for one-time, non-
recurring needs.
It is the intent of the Town Council to limit use of fund balances in the General Fund to
address unanticipated one-time needs. Fund Balances shall not be applied to recurring
annual operating expenditures.
