a. Consideration of the June 5, 2018 Council Meeting Minutes
Mayor Clark asked for a motion to adopt the minutes of the June 5, 2018 Council meeting. Mr. Goodman
moved to adopt the minutes of June 5, 2018 meeting as written. The motion was seconded by Mr. Penn and
approved by unanimous voice vote of Council.
Following approval of the minutes, Council moved on to the Project Review Chart.
13. Project Update
a. Project Review Chart (PRC)
Mayor Clark asked Mr. Utt to review the various activities on the Project Review Chart.
Mr. Utt highlighted several activities on Page 1 of the chart. Concerning the PER for the James Hardie direct
injection project, discussions with the company had indicated their interest in an interim fix in light of the longer
term project. Efforts were underway to identify things that could be done. In addition, "bottlenecks" were
identified within the plant that limited the amount of water that could be accepted and discharged in excess of
what was done presently.
Town personnel were back on the wayfinding signage at the Main Street "Triangle" after being assigned other
projects. The goal was to have the sign completed by the end of July. Paving had resumed at the Wilson
Avenue/Northwood area with approximately one-half of the streets paved. The remaining half would be done
the next week in addition to work on Dora Highway, English Forest, Grove Drive and other areas that needed
patching.
Regarding the Kersey Bottom Housing project, Mr. Utt said the Town had originally targeted 17 houses, but he
added that the Town would probable get 15 at project's end. The state was aware of this he added, and there
would be further updates as the project neared completion.
Page 2 of 8/July 3, 2018
Mr. Goodman asked why the street sweeper had not been running recently. Mr. Utt explained that staffing
had been an issue and that there had been an effort to get caught up on mowing. Mr. Utt said he had planned
to get with Mr. Pedigo and that he may have to authorize overtime for weekend work.
Mr. East noticed that the Town had reached out to Southwest Lawn and Landscaping and asked if that
involved maintenance for the cemetery. Mr. Utt replied that the firm was looking at new tree placement. With
respect to manpower and mowing, Mr. East asked if contracting out for cemetery mowing had been
considered. Mr. Utt said that he did not know if the Town had done that openly for the cemetery or the parks.
He felt that it should be explored if there were problems filling jobs. Cemeteries he said, seem to keep at least
two persons busy all summer long.
Mr. East felt there was a potential for investment, that the cemeteries could be contracted out and Town
personnel be assigned to other tasks. Mr. Utt said he could talk with Mr. Pedigo. Mr. East inquired if something
could be brought back to Council to see if going out to bid was a possibility. Mr. Utt commented that he could
talk with some companies but felt that an RFP would be required. Inquiries on cost estimates he added could
be done.
Mr. Goodman asked if there was date when a plan would be brought back for Oakwood. Mr. Pedigo estimated
that it would be a couple of weeks. Mr. Utt said the main goal in the older section, since the graves were
closing in on the road, was to determine what to put back if anything. The newer section would involve
identifying spots for shade. Mr. Goodman added that the goal was aesthetics for the older section, especially in
light of the number of trees removed.
Mr. East asked why the Town had not been able to hire a building official. Mr. Utt said there had been some
interviews, and that in the case of one candidate, the Town salary was nowhere near the requested salary.
Another candidate considered a part-time position if they did not have to do property maintenance. Ms.
Hodge, the Code Compliance Officer, was taking classes to become certified in Property Maintenance to do
the housing side of code enforcement. That would leave a need for a part-time building official, opening the
possibility of the matter being resolved after Labor Day.
Mr. Goodman asked who would be the Building Official in the interim. Mr. Utt replied that Mr. Pedigo would be
the interim, with Mr. Hurt assisting with inspections. Mr. Goodman asked about contracting out with the County.
Mr. Utt said he had contacted the County Administrator, but was told that given the tight staffing, they were
unsure there would be staff time available.
With respect to Page 2, Mr. Utt said the FY 19 budget was up and running had been entered into the Town's
systems. No new complaints had been received about vultures, even though some had been spotted at
Magnox. The new fire truck was expected to be delivered in the next couple of months. An application for a
new ladder truck was to be resubmitted. However, there was a potential opportunity with the Blacksburg Fire
Department concerning their current ladder truck, which was slated to be replaced. He said there may be an
opportunity to get a used truck in as good a condition as a new one.
Gatewood operations seemed to be proceeding well with reports on the transition being sent to the Town. The
Rhythm and Ribs Festival was scheduled for July 20th with possible closure of the Administrative Offices for
half a day, due to the noise from musical performances. The Town was considering offering employees, if they
wanted to volunteer, to assist with the festival so vacation time would not be used.
Mr. Goodman mentioned that there had been some vultures seen on Prospect Ave. but not in the previous
numbers.
Mr. East asked what the thought was behind the "Ongoing "notation in the PRC and requested Council's
opinion. Mr. Utt said he intended to ask the same question while reviewing project highlights. He questioned if
the PRC had run its course and requested input what other avenues Council might be looking at. Mr. East felt
that the original intent was to get projects to completion. The PRC was intended to be a longer term chart with
the 30/60/90 intended as a short term chart.
Page 3 of 8/July 3, 2018
Mr. Goodman felt it was helpful to have a project review chart and that it was good to know if progress was
made on projects. Mr. East proposed that the chart could be structured to have a "Hold" category, while the
active programs would have end dates.
Following the discussion, Council considered the Short -Term Goals.
b. Review of Short -Term Goals
Mr. Utt reported concerning the website that despite delays, the Town had signed off on going from wireframe
to actual design. He hoped to have the website rollout by the July work session. Mr. Goodman asked that the
vendor be reminded there were two domains.
On the branding campaign, Mr. Utt informed Council that the roll out had been moved forward with the focus
on getting the vehicles measured for the new logo. Mr. East asked if this was part of Phase 4. Mr. Utt replied it
was part of Phase 3 which had not yet been implemented fully. The logos for the vehicles were the final part of
that phase.
Concerning the skateboard park, the Town had submitted all documents to the DEQ and EPA and were
waiting on DEQ to give a final approval on the revised site plan. DEQ had questioned the cost estimates on the
revised site plan after the review went to the next level. The Town was currently working with Draper Aden to
get a report back to the state showing where the mineral deposits (lead and other heavy metals) were in
relation to the basketball court. He estimated that the report would be submitted by mid-July. DEQ he added
made grant announcements in September. If the Town could get all submissions in by the end of July, the
Town should hopefully get funding. The EPA grant and the value of the land could be used as a match for the
state funds.
Regarding the drop -site issue, Mr. Utt reported that he met with the County Administrator the previous Friday.
The easiest approach seemed to involve moving the trash portion of the drop -site from Dora Highway to the
Lafayette property and find a temporary site for the brush, until the situation with Honeywell was resolved. Mr.
Utt contacted Falls Stamping regarding their lot on S. Jefferson and the County IDA had offered a lot on
Commerce, for the Town's use if it was big enough. Otherwise the drawings of the Town's Lafayette property
would go back to the August meeting of the PSA for formal review. Mr. Goodman commented that a site would
not be available until fall. Mr. Utt said it would probably be by spring assuming six months of work getting the
fill-in done.
Mr. Goodman expressed displeasure at the PSA's work on the Fairlawn site and asked at what point could
the Town do the work on the Pulaski site and bill PSA. Mr. Utt replied that it would still take two months of
work to get the fill done. He added he might try to get the matter on the PSA's July agenda. He told Council
that the County Administration had also received complaints from County residents in the western and
southern areas of the County who use the Pulaski site. Mr. East asked for clarification if there were a
temporary option that would not take six months. Mr. Utt said any site would have to be manned, if the tub
grinder was to be used, to monitor what was brought in. A manned site would incur a cost until the Honeywell
issue was resolved permanently. Mr. Goodman ventured the PSA could pick up the tab for one day a week
which would help a lot of people.
Mr. East asked about the status of the wayfinding signage, noting it had been moved out approximately 9
months. Ms. Hair said it involved the CDBG funding and that there had been a holdup due to the Department
of Historic Resources.
Mr. East asked about the status of Vuhvanagon. Mr. Rygas said there needed to be a discussion of all the
potential issues, get them identified, and figure out how to deal with them. He said there were a lot of issues
that might exist, the primary issue being the zoning issue, along with the revised engineering and pending
status. In addition, there may be other issues that are not in compliance which may involve other entities
besides the Town. A determination was being made as to who the Town should be talking to about various
issues. Then a battle plan could be developed. Mr. East said he would like to see a focus on the situation and
drive it to a close, whatever that may be.
Page 4 of 8/July 3, 2018
Mr. Goodman asked if the owner had responded to the last revision. Mr. Pedigo said they had and that the
Town had 45 days to respond.
Mr. Radcliffe stated that the van owner also owned property on Bob White Blvd and that he was concerned
that there would be another site with vans. He asked to see the rules and regulations on operating a car lot or
to open up a car lot. He remained concerned about the number of complaints he was getting. The legal staff he
continued should take immediate action regarding the van site. Mr. Goodman asked if vans could be put on the
exterior of the Bob White location. Ms. Hair replied that he could not use the exterior, but could put them inside
the site's structures.
Mr. Goodman noted there was no change indicated on the status of Randolph House. Mr. Utt confirmed that
there were no developments. On Magnox, Mr. Utt said there had been interest in the Calfee School and that an
attorney had been identified who used to work with Nanochemonics real-estate staff. His goal would be to get
this attorney and Mr. Rygas together to find a way to make use of that building. One concern was the
application of a federal lien from the EPA cleanup to the Magnox site. It was not known, since the school and
the main site were on different parcels, if the lien applied to the school. To Mr. Goodman's question on how
close Magnox was to a tax sale, Mr. Utt estimated four months since it was in the first group intended for a
sale.
Mr. East asked if there had been progress on the "pocket park". Mr. Rygas responded not recently, but that he
had a complaint drafted and some other paperwork to be filed.
There being no more comments or questions, Council moved on to the update on the Marketplace.
14. Old Business
a. Mid Year Update on "The Marketplace" Operations
Ms. Hair presented the update noting that it was mid-season for the Marketplace. She reminded Council that
the Marketplace would be held every Tuesday from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. until August 28tH
She reported there were 20 vendors committed to providing a variety of food items as well as several non-
profits present for fund raising opportunities and information. This year, thirteen new vendors were added.
Incentives used to attract vendors were free trials for the first night which had maintained vendor
relationships. The market had been successful in maintaining a balance between new vendor recruitment and
existing vendors.
New features included a "Non -Profit Night" which allowed non -profits to have presentations at the market or
doing the sales in the beer garden to raise funds.
With respect to scheduling, the first Tuesday of the month featured a "Chef Showcase" highlighting a regional
chef, along with beer and wine sales and live music. On the fourth Tuesday of the month, a food truck was
featured, also with beer and wine sales and live music. Special nights were planned featuring an
Independence Day theme that evening; Health Care Night on July 10th; and a Back -to -School Celebration on
August 21St with bike helmet fitting for children and a short bike ride on the trail. Helmets would be provided by
the Health Department.
Staffing for the Marketplace this year, in addition to Ms. Hair, included Justin Sanders, Town Planner and
Kayla Crowder, part-time market manager. The staff of Pulaski on Main assisted with the I.D. check for alcohol
sales and also with surveys. Beans and Rice interns assisted with the setup and takedown of the market.
Partnerships committed to this year included the: Fine Arts Center, Friends of Peak Creek, Pulaski
Theater, Radcliffe Museum, Pulaski County Humane Society, Agency on Aging, the Health Department
and the YMCA.
Ms. Hair said that surveys had been issued with good responses. Suggestions from the surveys included:
more music, more food options, and more marketing opportunities.
With respect to the future, Ms. Hair said the Marketplace was working to get more live music; invite more food
trucks; and have more marketing through the local newspaper media. Other promotions included shopper
bags, and Marketplace T-shirts for sale. Ms. Hair then asked for questions from Council.
Page 5 of 8/July 3, 2018
Mr. Radcliffe expressed his appreciation for Ms. Hair taking over the Marketplace and said he had heard a lot
of great things about what was going on.
Mr. Dawson asked if there had been thoughts about next year. Ms. Hair said the last market of the season
would be a big event. Surveys would be distributed by hand and by social media for feedback. Mr. Dawson
asked if it was the intention of the Town to continue to grow the market. Ms. Hair said at this point the
answer was yes. The Town at this time would continue with possible transitioning the event to a non-profit or
to have the event stand on its own.
Mr. East asked if the vendors indicated they were making money. Ms. Hair said they must be because they
kept coming back. She added that efforts were underway to have a SNAP machine at the market and she was
working on a grant to get the machine for free.
Mr. Goodman asked concerning advertising, that he knew the Marketplace was doing the social media pages
and ads on Facebook, Google and Pandora. Ms. Hair said the budget was limited and that was why they were
doing the marketbags and T-shirts. She noted that the event had been successful in running on a small
budget, noting that all music was for free.
There being no further comments or questions Ms. Hair finished her presentation.
b. Roof Loan Revolving Loan Fund Request
Council next considered a revolving loan fund -roof loan request. Mr. Utt noted that the Council had previously
authorized a loan of $12,400 to the Denny's, for roof repairs to the former APCO building. Over time, the cost
estimate for the roof repairs had risen from the original $12,500 to $16,400. Mr. Utt said that the Denny's had
requested the loan be increased to $16,400. He felt the revised estimate was still in line with appropriate costs.
To accommodate the request, Mr. Utt said it would require amending the loan amount from $12,500 to
$16,400, with the same term and same interest rate applied.
Mr. Goodman mentioned that interest rates had risen since the previous discussion. Mr. Utt replied he
remembered that the loan had a "floor" consisting of prime plus one, with a floor of 5%. He added that he did
not think the interest had yet reached 4% and that the situation was still favorable to increase the loan amount.
Mayor Clark felt the estimate was bound to increase because he thought the original cost estimate did not
include structural issues from leaks. He felt the loan amount would have inevitably increased to $16,400. Mr.
Utt said that the loan would not do the entire roof but would get the worst part to help stabilize the building.
Mr. Goodman moved to modify the agreement with the Denny's for the revolving roof fund loan to lend them
the total of $16,400 with the remaining terms staying the same. Mr. East seconded the motion which was
approved on the following roll call vote:
Lane R. Penn -Aye Joseph K. Goodman -Aye
Brooks R. Dawson -Aye G. Tyler Clontz -Aye
Gregory C. East -Aye James A. Radcliffe -Aye
15. New Business
a. VDH Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Offer
Mr. Utt referred to the letter from the Health Department in the packet concerning an award for funding to
address the HAA5 levels in the water system. He said that two options were offered by the Health Department
which, despite not awarding as much grant funding as desired, still offered a good deal for the Town.
The first option was to do the entire project for $1.584 million as a 20 year low interest loan. The second
option would offer $300,000 in grants with the remaining balance of funds becoming a low interest loan over
20 years. To get the grants required a Town commitment to increase rates for five years by 3% or using an
inflationary index (e.g. Consumer Price Index). Noting the revised implementation of the Davenport Study, Mr.
Utt estimated that since two years were left on the 4% rate adjustments from the study, the Town would need
to consider an additional three years commitment for a 3% increase in rates or an increase based on
inflationary indexes. The rate adjustments, he explained were used to ensure that water systems weren't
using the grant funds to subsidize their operations and that enough funds were being set aside to make
Page 6 of 8/July 3, 2018
to make improvements as needed and fund the loan payments.
Concerning debt service, Option 1 would require an annual debt service payment of $100,000. Option 2 would
bring the annual payments down to approximately $80,000. Mr. Utt said he felt comfortable with Option 2 and
the commitment for modest rate increases to cover the payments. Another favorable factor was that the loan
payments wouldn't be due until the construction project was complete in, he estimated, a year and a half.
There would be no loan payments this fiscal year and maybe only a couple of payments next fiscal year
depending upon how construction progressed. He recommended that Council accept Option 2.
Mr. Penn said he was under the impression that since last year the Town had a 4% water rate increase, that
this year the Town would have a 3% increase. Mr. Utt responded that Davenport updated their projections on
rates due to auditor concerns over the sewer fund. This update called for water rate increases over five years
at 4% yearly. The Town was currently on the second year of the five-year term. Rate increases for the loan
would be applied only to water rates not sewer rates.
Mr. Goodman said he understood that the Town could take out a full loan of $1.584 million for 1 % below the
AA Municipal Bond rating, which is currently between 2.5%-3.5%. Potentially he continued, the Town could be
looking at a 2.5% interest rate which is the same as the interest rate offered in Option 2 as a guaranteed rate.
Mr. Goodman calculated that if the Town borrowed the full loan amount at a 2.5% interest rate the cost to the
Town would be $2,015,674.30. If the Town went with Option 2, because the state would forgive $300,000, the
cost would be $1,633,571.92, saving almost $400,000.
Mayor Clark ventured that Option 2 was the better of the two options.
Mr. Utt said the project would remove one water tank, connect two pressure zones, and reduce storage time
from 30 days to 7 days. Another favorable point was that the tank to be eliminated was the next one scheduled
for replacement.
Mr. Goodman asked Chief Kiser if the Town was going to be short a tank, did the departments' trucks have the
ability to get water from the creek. Chief Kiser said they did. Neighboring departments have tankers he said so
it was not an issue. The closest issue they had was the church fire (Bob White Church of God) but the County
had tankers. A fire of that size he said may occur once every ten years.
Mr. Goodman estimated that a 3% increase was about $1.50 per month for the average household. Mr. Utt
said the average household utility bill was $78 per month for water, sewer and garbage and estimated that the
cost increase for water alone was less than a dollar per month.
Mr. Dawson asked if there were outstanding loans from previous projects that the Town was still paying on. Mr.
Utt said there were outstanding loans for the Water Treatment Plant; Raw Water pump station; debt
refinancing which was mostly General Fund; and the sewer vacuum truck.
Mr. Dawson then inquired how did the Town's rates (water) compare (with surrounding areas) and if there were
3% increases over the next five years would the Town's rates be lower than the surrounding area. Mr. Utt
replied that the sewer rates were higher, but the water rates were just below the average. The 3% increase
would possibly place the Town's rates just above average, unless other communities kept increasing their
rates.
Mr. Dawson asked after this project, what remained to be done. Mr. Utt said the next big project would be the
Raw Water Line from the Raw Water Intake to the Treatment Plant, which Mr. Pedigo added would cost in
excess of $2 million. Mr. Dawson asked how soon it need to be done. Mr. Utt replied within the next five years.
Mr. Goodman asked where the Town was in its debt capacity. Mr. Utt answered that the Town was well below
its limit and estimated the Town was at less than 10% of its capacity. Mr. East mentioned that there was
significant debt coming off the General Fund. Mr. Utt stated that the James Hardie project debt would come off
next year. In response to Mr. Goodman's asking about the debt for the water meters, Mrs. Reece responded
that the meters were paid for.
Page 7 of 8/July 3, 2018
On Mayor Clark's call for a motion, Mr. Goodman moved that the Town go with Option 2, $300,000 principal
forgiveness, borrowing $1,284,490 at 2.5% interest for 20 years. Mr. Penn seconded the motion which was
approved on the following roll call vote:
Lane R. Penn -Aye Joseph K. Goodman -Aye
Brooks R. Dawson -Aye G. Tyler Clontz -Aye
Gregory C. East -Aye James A. Radcliffe -Aye
16. Closed Session
