Item Name: Committee Reports

Item Number: H-1

Subject: Budget and Finance

SUMMARY:

The Budget and Finance Committee will report on the following matters:

a. Ordinance regarding picketing/demonstrations

b. Budget revision for the Department of Museums

BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

NOVEMBER 13,2017

1. As we have discussed on several occasions, we have been in the process of

developing regulations that will set standards for picketing and other types of

demonstrations that go on within the corporate limits. In general, these

requirements state that any groups of ten or more people who are planning an

event must go through a registration process with the Town. Thereafter, the

Town is in a position to prepare for activities that may be associated with the

demonstration or picketing activity. Communities throughout Virginia have

recently been adopting such regulations in response to the events that have

occurred in Charlottesville, Virginia, earlier this fall. Later in the meeting, the

Council will consider this ordinance on first reading, and it would be the

recommendation of the Budget and Finance Committee that it be adopted on first

reading.

2. The Wythe County Historical Society has contributed $ 12,000 per year to help

cover the salary and benefits for a museum employee. The funds received by the

Historical Society cover the expenses associated with the employee for two days

per week, and the Town is covering the expenses of the employee for the other

three days. Ms. Frances Emerson, the Director of the Museums, has requested

that the Council adjust her budget to reflect the $ 12,000 donation by the Wythe

County Historical Society. It would be the recommendation of the Budget and

Finance Committee that we authorize Town Treasurer Michael Stephens to

amend the appropriate line item in the budget to reflect the receipt of the

$ 12, 000.

Item Name: Committee Reports

Item Number: H-2

Subject: Public Works

SUMMARY:

The Public Works Committee will report on the following matters:

a. Proposed revisions for brush disposal site regulations

b. December Downtown Celebration

PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REPORT

NOVEMBER 13, 2017

1. Currently, the Town's Brush Collection Guidelines provide that the brush disposal

site be open on the first and third Saturday of each month from 8:00 a.m. to 1 :00

p.m. for residents to deposit a pickup load of brush debris. The current regulations

also provide for a $ 3.00 per cubic yard fee on any brush deposited on those dates.

We believe that it would be beneficial to the Town's citizens to provide this service

on the first and third Saturday of each month without imposing any fee and with no

restrictions on the number of loads that can be brought between the hours of 8:00

a.m. and 1 :00 p.m. It would be the recommendation of the Public Works Committee

that we amend the regulations to eliminate the fee and to not impose any

restrictions on the volumes of debris delivered on these dates.

2. A committee composed of representatives of Downtown Wytheville, Incorporated

and Town staff has been developing a program for December, which will kickoff the

Christmas season, as well as celebrate the completion of the construction in the

downtown area. As everyone can see, the construction in the downtown area and

all of the improvements are rapidly nearing completion. We anticipate that by early

December, the work will be essentially complete. The committee has developed

plans that would include festivities on Friday evening, December 1, 2017, followed

by festivities held on Saturday, December 2, 2017. On Friday evening, the activities

are planned to be held in Withers Park, and there will be a variety of events that will

include carriage rides, music and a tree lighting ceremony. This will also coincide

1

with the annual festival of trees grand opening that the Wythe Arts Council sponsors

each year. On Saturday, between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., there will be a variety

of activities going on in the downtown area such as music, carriage rides, visits by

Mr. and Mrs. Claus and other seasonal activities. At approximately 5:30 p.m., there

will be a ribbon cutting ceremony at the intersection of Main Street and Heritage

Walk to celebrate the completion of the work in the downtown area. Immediately

following the ribbon cutting ceremony, the annual Christmas Parade will commence.

The committee is still formulating all of the details associated with the events

planned for these two days, but it appears that it will be a very fun filled two days

and something that everyone will enjoy attending. We will report additional

information on the events in the near future.

SUMMARY:

Section 7-113 of the Code of the Town requires that the Council conduct an annual

hearing for the purpose of detennining the number of taxicab vehicles for which

Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity shall be issued during the next

calendar year. There are several matters that are reviewed by the Council in the course

of renewing a certificate and those include condition of the vehicle(s), appropriate

liability insurance and other general requirements. Guardian Emergency Medical

Services, Incorporated; Richardson Ambulance Service, LLC; 276 Express, LLC; and,

019 Transportation Service, Inc. have been notified by mail as prescribed in the Town

Code. Guardian Emergency Medical Services, Incorporated; Richardson Ambulance

Service, LLC; 276 Express, LLC; and, D19 Transportation Service, Inc. have submitted

the necessary paperwork. To meet the publication requirements for the public hearing,

the earliest the public hearing could be conducted would be December 11, 2017. During

the public hearing, we will present the inspection reports by the Police Department.

Enclosed are the companies' applications and proof of liability insurance.

He noted that this is the reason for most of the citizens attending the meeting. Mayor Crewe remarked that, obviously, the Council thinks that the students attending the meeting have done something special, and he would ask that Ms. Frances Emerson, Director of Museums, come forward and explain to the Council the Smithsonian Youth Engagement and Skill-Building Grant Project. Director of Museums Frances Emerson presented the Council with the video the project team produced named “How Mining and Railroads Shaped the Communities in Wythe County, Virginia.” Director Emerson continued to explain the project to the Council.

RE: BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

Vice-Mayor King, reporting for the Budget and Finance Committee, stated that Town Treasurer Mike Stephens advises that he now has all of the information from the Commissioner of the Revenue on personal property taxes, i.e. vehicles. She noted that as the Council knows, several years ago, the State changed the law with regard to procedures where car taxes were eliminated, and then the State reimburses communities a certain percent. Vice-Mayor King explained that when the budget was adopted this past year, the reimbursement that was established in the budget document was 55.70 percent, and, as the Council knew at that time, it was an estimate until the Commissioner actually provided the Town with all of the data for the year. She commented that it has now been determined that the reimbursement percentage from the State will need to be established at 61.30 percent. Vice-Mayor King advised that Town Treasurer Stephens would request, and the Budget and Finance Committee would recommend, that the Council take an action to establish the reimbursement percentage at the above described amount. A motion was made by Vice-Mayor King and seconded by Councilwoman Taylor to establish the Personal Property Tax Relief Act percentage rate at 61.30 percent. Mayor Crewe inquired if there was any discussion on the motion to establish the rate at 61.30 percent. There being none, the motion was approved with the following voting in favor and there being no opposition: For: Trenton G. Crewe, Jr., Jacqueline K. King, Thomas F. Hundley, Joseph E. Hand, Jr., Beth A. Taylor. Against: None. Vice-Mayor King, also, reported that October is Fire Prevention Month, and the Council has asked the Town’s Fire Department to implement programs that will institute a new opportunity to provide free smoke alarms for citizens who cannot afford them. She noted that according to the National Fire Protection Association, three out of five home fires happen from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. Vice-Mayor King stated that smoke alarms save lives, and, if properly installed and maintained, this equipment plays a vital role in reducing fire deaths and injuries. She explained that the Town of Wytheville Department of Public Safety wants to help prevent these situations by assisting citizens who may not have the financial ability to purchase a smoke alarm or obtain this piece of equipment for their homes. Vice-Mayor King remarked that, additionally, the Council has asked the Fire Department to have available literature and other planning tools that can be used by families to create an awareness of fire safety. She stated that if someone is a Town of Wytheville citizen who needs such assistance, please contact the Department of Public Safety at (276) 223-3300 for more information about this free program. A copy of the Budget and Finance Committee report is attached and made part of these minutes. RE: PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REPORT Councilman Hundley, reporting for the Public Works Committee, stated that, given the circumstances that are occurring around the country, many communities, including the Town of Wytheville, are drafting and implementing policies to deal with picketing and demonstrations. He explained that this is a topic that the Council discussed in September, and, since that time, the Council has drafted language that would be included in the Town Code. Councilman Hundley stated that as the Council explained before, it is important to know that the Town in no way wants to develop regulations that infringe on anyone’s rights or their freedom of speech, but the Council also realizes that these activities must be held in an orderly fashion and in a manner that does not endanger the demonstrators or the citizenry in general. He noted that the Council has asked Town Attorney Christopher Menerick to continue to review the draft of the ordinance and to identify standards that are being imposed in other Virginia communities. He advised that the Council anticipates that an ordinance regulating picketing and demonstrations will be on the November 13, 2017, agenda.

Councilman Hundley, also, reported that earlier in the meeting, the Council approved a request of Downtown Wytheville, Incorporated to conduct the annual Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 2, 2017, at 6:00 p.m. He stated that given that the construction activities in the downtown area are nearing completion, it seems that this may be a good opportunity to celebrate the completion of the construction to showcase the downtown area prior to the annual Christmas Parade. Councilman Hundley explained that Downtown Wytheville, Incorporated and Town staff are looking at programs that might occur on an annual basis, such as the lighting of the Christmas tree in Withers Park. He remarked that there are a number of activities being considered that will provide a fun filled evening, which will include the Christmas Parade. Councilman Hundley noted that the Public Works Committee will have more information about this program as it moves forward. He advised that there is no action required by the Council at this time, but the Council would like to invite everyone to participate in these downtown programs. A copy of the Public Works Committee report is attached and made part of these minutes. Mayor Crewe stated that on behalf of the Town Council, he would like to congratulate Downtown Wytheville, Incorporated on their successful 2017 Zombie Run event and the Zombie Bash. RE: ORDINANCE NO. 1329 Mayor Crewe presented Ordinance No. 1329, an ordinance amending and reenacting Chapter 13, Streets, Sidewalks and Improvements, Article II. Signs, Awnings, Etc., Over Sidewalks, Etc., Section 13-27. Signs, Awnings, Etc., Having Supports Implanted in Streets, Etc., of the Code of the Town of Wytheville, Virginia, on second reading. A motion was made by Councilman Hundley and seconded by Councilman Hand to approve Ordinance No. 1329, an ordinance amending and reenacting Chapter 13, Streets, Sidewalks and Improvements, Article II. Signs, Awnings, Etc., Over Sidewalks, Etc., Section 13-27. Signs, Awnings, Etc., Having Supports Implanted in Streets, Etc., of the Code of the Town of Wytheville, Virginia, on second, but not final, reading. Mayor Crewe inquired if there was any discussion on the motion to approve the ordinance on second but not final, reading. There being none, the motion was approved with the following voting in favor and there being no opposition: FOR: Trenton G. Crewe, Jr., Jacqueline K. King, Thomas F. Hundley, Joseph

E. Hand, Jr., Beth A. Taylor AGAINST: None ABSTENTIONS: None Ordinance No. 1329 was approved on second, but not final, reading. RE: ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to be discussed, a motion was duly made, seconded and carried to adjourn the meeting (7:37 p.m.).

PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REPORT

OCTOBER 23, 2017

1. Given the circumstances that are occurring around the country, many communities,

including ourselves, are drafting and implementing policies to deal with picketing and

demonstrations. This is a topic that we discussed in September, and, since that

time, we have drafted language that would be included in the Town Code. As we

explained before, it is important to know that the Council in no way wants to develop

regulations that infringe on anyone’s rights or their freedom of speech, but the

Council also realizes that these activities must be held in an orderly fashion and in a

manner that does not endanger the demonstrators or the citizenry in general. We

have asked Town Attorney Christopher Menerick to continue to review the draft of

the ordinance and to identify standards that are being imposed in other Virginia

communities. We anticipate that an ordinance regulating picketing and

demonstrations will be on the November 13, 2017, agenda.

2. Earlier in the meeting, the Council approved a request of Downtown Wytheville,

Incorporated to conduct the annual Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 2,

2017, at 6:00 p.m. Given that the construction activities in the downtown area are

nearing completion, it seems that this may be a good opportunity to celebrate the

completion of the construction to showcase the downtown area prior to the annual

Christmas Parade. Downtown Wytheville, Incorporated and Town staff are looking at

programs that might occur on an annual basis, such as the lighting of the Christmas

provide a fun filled evening, which will include the Christmas Parade. We will have

more information about this program as we move forward. There is no action

required by the Council at this time, but we do invite everyone to participate in these

downtown programs.
