Council then moved to the next item on the agenda concerning the 2019 American Evolution Celebration with
speaker Carol Smith.
7. Presentations
a. 2019 American Evolution Celebration, Carol Smith
Mrs. Smith spoke to Council on behalf of the Pulaski County American Evolution 2019 Commemoration. The
observance, officially sanctioned by the Commonwealth, was to celebrate 400 years of Virginia history and its
impact upon the Commonwealth and the nation. Noting the rich historical heritage of Pulaski County, the Town
of Pulaski, and the Town of Dublin, Mrs. Smith said the commemoration was to bring the historical heritage of
the area to the public during the year of the commemoration.
Partnering with the local committee for the observance was the larger state commemoration effort, local
governments, local schools, local businesses, museums, groups and organizations. Additional promotional
efforts included a presence at the Marketplace, placement of banners throughout the County, and events
focused on the Radcliffe Museum and the Train Station. Themes for the commemoration were diversity,
democracy and opportunity as they related to the citizens of the county.
Mrs. Smith told Council that events were planned throughout the year with a special event promoted each
month. In addition to providing a local perspective on events such as Women's History and Black History
Month, the committee would also participate in events such as Radford University's Native American Festival.
The signature event however, would be Thanksgiving 2019. Since it would not be possible for all residents to
assemble together for a celebration, a special candle, created by Corona, was commissioned for distribution to
households throughout the County in a spirit of thankfulness and unity. The debut for the candle would be at
the Chamber Dinner on November 15"
Information resources for the commemoration Mrs. Smith said, included a website, applications program and
various handouts, such as Council received at the start of the presentation. Mrs. Smith said she looked forward
to working with Council to make the celebration a success. She then concluded her remarks to Council. Mayor
Clark and Council thanked Mrs. Smith for her presentation.
Next item considered was the "Bells of Peace" commemoration of the World War I Armistice Centennial.
b. Proclamation Bells of Peace -WWI Armistice Centennial Observance
Mayor Clark referred to the proclamation concerning the "Bells of Peace" which was in honor of the ending of
World War I at 11:00 a.m. on November 11, 1918, when bells tolled all over Europe to signal the end of the
war. Mayor Clark said he would read the proclamation into the record and afterward present the signed
document to representatives from the Commemoration Committee. He read the proclamation as follows:
"In Recognition of Bells of Peace: A World War I Centennial Armistice Remembrance,
Whereas, on behalf of the citizens of the Town of Pulaski, I am honored to offer this Proclamation encouraging
citizens to remember the sacrifices of those who fought in World War l; and,
Whereas, a century ago, 4.7 million American men and women served our nation and the world during the
global conflict known as World War l; and
Whereas, many men and women from Pulaski served selflessly and honorably in World War I. However there
were 375, 000 American casualties including 116,516 deaths; and,
Whereas, on the 11 h hour, of the 11"' day, of the 11 rn month, in 1918 an armistice to halt the fighting was
declared and World War I ended; and,
Whereas, the U. S. World War I Centennial Commission has called upon all Americans across the nation to
honor and remember those who served in the conflict and ultimately gave their lives.
Page 2 of 9/November 6, 2018
Now, Therefore, 1, David Clark, Mayor of the Town of Pulaski, do hereby call upon the citizens and institutions
of our community to toll the bells 21 times in remembrance of the Armistice at 11:00 a.m. on November 11,
2018. "
Following the reading of the proclamation, Mayor Clark signed the document and presented it to local
representatives from the Pulaski County WWI and WWII Commemoration Committee. Accepting the
proclamation from Mayor Clark were: Sharon Hardy, VFW Post 1184 Commander Jim Ridpath, Mary
Catherine Stout, Nancy Burchett, Carol Smith, and VFW Vietnam veteran Al Davis.
Following the presentation, Council considered the next agenda item, the Zoning Ordinance Rewrite.
8. Public Hearings
a. Zoning Ordinance Rewrite
Ms. Hair introduced Ms. Aphi Fancon of the New River Valley Regional Commission who had been working
with the Planning Commission for the past year on a rewriting of the Zoning Ordinance. She said Ms. Fancon
would update Council on the new zoning ordinance.
Ms. Fancon briefed Council on the revisions to the zoning regulations. Referring to a memo in the Council
packet, Ms. Fancon said the main goals of the revision were to: add more permitted uses; make the
regulations more clear; reduce redundancies; and to minimize the need for interpretation. These changes
would assist in removing barriers for new businesses, encourage redevelopment and infill development, and
make the document more user friendly for the citizens.
She then reviewed changes to the document which included: making the ordinance clearer; adding new
permitted uses to compatible districts; moving some uses to another district where it was more appropriate;
and placing development criteria into each zoning district's section. Additional revisions included several new
sections on: general requirements; wireless communication facilities; amateur radio towers; a new residential
district consolidating the current R3 and R4 residential districts; mobile home park districts and residential
manufactured home subdivisions; new parking standards addressing joint use and landscaping; and a new
sign chapter addressing the Supreme Court's ruling, new sign processes, and non -conforming signs. After this
review, Ms. Fancon finished her presentation
Mayor Clark asked for comments. Mr. Utt informed Council that this was a public hearing with no action
expected from Council.
Mr. East asked about requirements regarding handwritten signs (e.g. posterboard) in the new regulations. Ms.
Fancon replied that the new requirements regulated signs by size, not by content regardless of it being a
temporary or permanent sign. Mr. East asked if temporary was defined in the new regulations and was told that
it was. Ms. Hair said she wanted to get the new zoning regulations adopted before beginning strong signage
enforcement. In her interpretation she added, cardboard would not be considered a temporary sign. The type
of sign material was defined in the definition of a temporary sign. Ms. Fancon added that there was a
permitting process for temporary signs in the new regulations.
Mr. Goodman asked concerning political signs. Ms. Fancon said the new regulations moved away from garage
sale signs and political signs. Mr. Goodman noted that political signs were regulated by the state and asked if a
permit was required for a political yard sign. Ms. Hair said they were not if it was on your personal property.
However if the sign was over a size limit, a permit would be required. She continued that the state had a model
ordinance dealing with political signs which the new regulations mirrored.
Mr. Goodman asked if signs for defunct business would still be required to be removed. Ms. Hair replied that it
was. He then asked about the provisions for amateur radio. Ms. Fancon responded that the state did not allow
localities to regulate antennae under 75 feet in height. She added that shorter towers would require a permit for
safety reasons so the inspector could make sure there were no hazards.

After discussion, Mayor Clark opened the public hearing at 7:23 p.m. There being no comment he closed the
public hearing at 7:24 p.m.
Council next moved to the Consent Agenda.
9. Public Comment Period
No comments were received from the public.
10. Consent Agenda
a. Consideration of the meeting minutes from October 2nd; October 9th; and October 30th, 2018
Mayor Clark asked for a motion to approve the minutes of the October 2, 2018 Council meeting; the October 9,
2018 called Council meeting; and the October 30, 2018 Council budget meeting. Mr. Goodman moved to adopt
the October 2nd, October 9th and October 30th Council meeting minutes as presented. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Radcliff and approved by unanimous voice vote of Council.
Following approval of the minutes, Council moved on to Project Updates.
11. Proiect Updates
a. Project Summary Sheet
Mr. Utt informed Council that the new Town website was now on-line. While recognizing there were still things
to be worked out, Mr. Utt encouraged Council to look at the site and submit their ideas for content and
changes.
Mr. East asked about access. Ms. Hair responded that the intent was to have the homepage ready with
content being placed into subpages and other subpages created. Mr. Utt called the homepage up and ran
through various features on the home page menu.
Mr. Dawson asked if there was a calendar of events. Ms. Hair said the main calendar was populated by
multiple calendars such as the special events calendar and the Senior Center calendar. The final calendar was
the main Town calendar for listing Council meetings, Planning Commission meetings, Town office closings and
similar items.
Mr. East asked if there would be room for online forms in the future. Ms. Hair replied that staff had been
working on that through the document center. Mr. Dawson asked who was responsible for the website. Mr. Utt
replied Ms. Hair and Ms. Bivens would be. Ms. Hair said she had "one on one" training with the website trainer
to enable her to assist employees with the site or place them in touch with the trainer. The goal she continued
was to have each department able to edit content for its page as well as use other features.
Mr. Dawson asked where information for the calendars could be sent. Ms. Hair said the information could be
sent to her and that another community calendar was available through the Chamber of Commerce. Other
organizations such as Pulaski on Main, the Chamber, and the County could be linked in to the website. She
said that a decision would need to be made on how to populate the Main calendar with all the events or direct
users to other organizations.
Mr. Goodman asked if a business directory would be included in the site. Ms. Hair replied that she was not
sure how that would look. Options were a listing of businesses, like Pulaski on Main had, or a map showing the
location of the businesses. She requested to come back to Council with some options. Mr. East asked about a
timeline for making corrections to the site recognizing that the site was an ongoing process. Ms. Hair said she
would be in contact with the technician in Toronto by email. She felt issues would be addressed quickly and
reminded Council that the news article mentioned that the site would be changing. Mr. Rygas suggested that
everyone should look through the site on their own which might facilitate its review.
The next highlight discussed was the skate park. Mr. East felt the term "target date" implied that the date would
be missed. He felt it should a "hard" date. Mr. Utt suggested a term of deadline with an explanation why a task
was not met.
Page 4 of 9/November 6, 2018
Mr. Goodman asked about a statement on the drop site which said that the PSA had approved the Pulaski site
over Fairlawn. Mr. Utt explained that the PSA had given the Pulaski site a higher priority. He cautioned that
additional property was acquired for and some engineering done on the Fairlawn site. Mr. Utt noted that at the
last PSA meeting there was general agreement among Board members that if the Pulaski site needed to be a
priority it would be. Mr. Goodman asked Mr. Utt to relay his thanks to the PSA Board.
Regarding Gatewood, Mr. Radcliffe suggested a meeting among the vendors, the Council, and park customers
and see what issues needed correction. He suggested the meeting be held before the park's opening next
season. Mr. Utt said he considered asking the vendors to a work session as a closed session item for issues
the vendor had brought up. Mr. Dawson felt public participation was missing. Mr. Utt suggested a community
meeting where the public could participate. Mr. Radcliffe said if there was anything the Town could do, it
needed to be identified and done.
There being no further questions and comments, Council moved to the update on the GCC Brownsfield Grant
Project.
12. Old Business
a. Update of GCC Brownfields Grant Project
Mr. Utt reviewed the most recent cost estimate which eliminated duplicate costs of $130,000 and added
updates. The Town had asked Draper Aden to review eligible expenditures from the grant of $240,000. The
eligibility of the expenditures had changed due to the project's evolution from a growing space to a recreational
area and skate park.
Expenditures which remained eligible for using the grant funds included: removal of structure foundation and
contaminated soils; seventy-five percent of the concrete cost of the basketball court; and grading around the
hardscape construction area. Non -eligible expenditures included utility work related to the restrooms and
lighting. Mr. Utt recommended getting rid of lighting altogether from Phase 1 because none of the other parks
were lit and use of the facilities late at night or in the early morning might not be desirable. Since all parks
currently close at dusk, he felt that the dusk closing time needed remain consistent at least at the beginning.
Mr. Goodman did not agree and said the kids wanted something to do and this was a good central location. A
short discussion ensued on how the park could be used for activities at later hours and whether or not different
policies for basketball and skateboarding should be considered. Mr. Utt said a project that was affordable
required $67,000 if it could be funded now. Mr. Goodman suggested using streetlights, as is done at Sixth
Street Park to illuminate the areas for use. Mr. Utt responded that staff had looked at running lights like those
at Jackson Park, down one block on First Street, which would allow some use of the space.
With respect to stormwater management/storm sewer improvements, Mr. Utt noted these improvements were
for drainage and were not a Sewer Fund expense. Moving back to a discussion of water meter/utility work, Mr.
Utt said he had proposed originally using Town crews as with any other Town project with materials from the
Water Fund and the Water crew to do the labor. Discussions with Mr. Dawson indicated his belief that perhaps
it was not desirable at this point to co -mingle expenses when there was trouble doing Town projects to start
with and then adding a recreation project. An opportunity might exist, he continued, to use one of the pre -
constructed restrooms which only required water hook up. Constructing a rest room on site would prove to be a
challenge which required a step back on the utility fund usage.
Mr. Dawson said his concern was that water/sewer projects were discussed during the budget sessions that
could not be completed because of time or staffing. Earlier this year, he continued rates were raised on water
and sewer to raise money for those funds to become self-sustaining and for projects that needed to be done.
Both of those conversations would be difficult to explain regarding a recreation park using resources from
those two departments if there was other work that needed to be done. Mr. Utt said Mr. Dawson's point was
valid.
Mr. Utt said of the project taken as a whole, the largest impact to the General Fund was related to the skate
park, because its location on the site was not impacted by ground contaminants. The consultants felt that most
Page 5 of 9/November 6, 2018
of the skate park would not be eligible for EPA grant funds. This resulted in approximately $110,0004115,000
of expenses related to the skate park becoming ineligible for EPA grant funds. The skate park would remain
eligible for the Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR) grant and the Tony Hawk fund. However,
according to officials at the state level, DCR grants awarded in April were not being honored by the National
Park Service who supplied the funding. An application for these grants might not be started until Spring 2019. If
Council desired to move forward, then it might do so being mindful that other sources of funds would have to
be used.
Mr. Utt said the total cost of the project would be $770,000 which would include approximately $100,000 in
contingency funds and a potential for $336,000 in grant funds. This required the Town to apply for more grant
money, particularly the EPA money, for nearly $126,000, by November 15th. Council authorization would be
required to apply for the additional EPA money which required a one to one match, which was covered by
things the Town had done. Mr. Utt asked if Council wished to proceed not knowing the status of the DCR funds
($100,000).
Mr. Dawson asked if the $50,000 payment from the utility funds would still pay for work or had that been taken
out. Mr. Utt responded that he expected to still do the work, but he understood that right now the Town did not
have the personnel. Mr. Goodman asked if the Town grant writer had been consulted to see what other options
were. Mr. Utt replied that she had been contacted and that other foundations for potential funding were
available, such as the Pepsi Foundation, the Coca Cola Foundation, the Walmart Foundation, and two
additional private foundations from Eastern Virginia. The biggest question, Mr. Utt concluded was whether or
not to apply for additional grant funds.
Mr. East asked if things did not come together, what would happen. Mr. Utt said the options were stop the
project or take $100,000 from reserves. He felt that with the funding in place, the Town was close to getting a
basketball court built as a phase. This could be a stopping point for either regrouping or to make sure that
other funds were set up. Mr. Utt added that he had not asked DEQ about phasing for the skate park. DEQ was
not focused on the skate park but on that section of the entire site where contaminants were located. He
ventured that DEQ funding might not be needed if other sources for the funding gap were found.
Mr. Radcliffe urged Council to use caution in spending money for the skate park/basketball court and that the
Town needed to take care of what it already had. His concerns noted the Town's lack of staff and funding and
the parks failure to pass the Americans with Disability Act standards. Despite these outstanding concerns an
additional park was under consideration. He urged that Council not neglect what the Town already had and
that a plan was needed.
Mr. East said given the comments, he reminded Council that if risks were not taken then nothing happens. He
agreed with Mr. Radcliffe on exercising caution while maintaining existing assets. He added that Council
needed to be careful but that he was not opposed to making things happen. Mr. Goodman agreed on
maintaining the park facilities, but noted a deficit in skate boarding and basketball facilities. He felt the Town
should pursue grants while having a backup plan in place. He suggested a backup plan may consist of a
basketball court and some green space. Then the Town could explore funding options for the skate park
without going into reserves. A basketball court he ventured was easy to maintain and was greatly needed. He
did not want to step back from the project as a whole, but would rather refocus on a new plan.
Mr. East agreed with a phased approach to move forward as it made financial sense. Mr. Dawson noted Mr.
Utt's request to move forward to get more funding and asked what was the harm in asking for more money. Mr.
Utt replied that the grant matches were dollar for dollar. With the current $240,000 grant, the Town was able to
meet the match using the value of the property, work that was done, and other things, not necessarily cash.
For additional grants, the town would need to figure out how to match what was applied for.
Mr. East asked what the Town's investment would be in a worst-case scenario. Mr. Utt responded that the
investment would be $320,000 with a project total value of $770,000. Mr. Goodman asked if the fall back was
to a basketball court and green space with no amenities, what would be the cost to the Town. Mr. Utt said most
of that work was eligible for the grant funds which would be spent. This would result in a Town expenditure of
Page 6 of 9/November 6, 2018
$17,000. Mr. Utt added that in conversations with DEQ, if additional grant funds were applied for and the
Council went to the fall -back position, it was not the "end of the world" because the Town still had $240,000 in
grant funds available. Mr. Goodman asked what action was needed from Council. Mr. Utt said he needed
authorization to apply to the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality Brownsfield Remediation Fund for
$106,400.
Mr. Goodman moved that Council authorize staff to prepare the necessary paperwork to apply to the DEQ
Brownsfield Remediation Fund for up to $106,400 for the park grant. Mr. Clontz 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
Council then moved on to New Business.
13. New Business
a. Town Committee Vacancy Status Update
Mr. Utt briefed Council on committee vacancies. The Cemetery Board, had two vacancies due to the retirement
of two longstanding members. The Architecture Review Board vacancy for a professional member required a
search outside of the Town for a candidate, since Town residency was not required. A recommendation on
action to Council concerning seats on the Board of Zoning Appeals and the Planning Commission would be
made later in the meeting. Mr. Utt noted the Housing Authority had one vacancy and urged that a "strong"
member be added, since the Town would be relying on the Authority for the Downtown Project and the
Redevelopment Incentive.
Mr. Goodman asked how often the Cemetery Board met and was told that it met as needed. Mr. Utt said he
approached Ms. Carter of the Cemetery Board about finding someone to fill a position. In the past, there were
two representatives for Oakwood and one for Pinehurst. He suggested that there be two representatives for
each area, making three seats open.
In addition, Mr. Utt reported that appointments were needed to the Agency on Aging for a one year term. He
recommended reappointing Lydia Hickam as the representative, with Gary Hancock as the alternate since they
had served several years in that capacity.
With respect to Mayoral appointments, the Mayor served co -terminus on the Pulaski Telecommunications
Committee and as liaison to the Virginia Municipal League. Mr. Goodman said he did not remember the Mayor
being appointed and suggested that a list of committees be prepared showing where the Mayor served
co -terminus.
Mr. East moved that Council direct staff to prepare the necessary paperwork to appoint Mr. Danny Underwood
to a five year term ending November 5, 2023 on the Board of Zoning Appeals. The motion was seconded by
Mr. Penn and 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
Mr. Goodman then moved that Council reappoint Lydia Hickam as a voting member and Gary Hancock as the
alternate to the NRV Agency on Aging for a one year term effective October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2019.
The motion was seconded by Mr. East and 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
Page 7 of 9/November 6, 2018
Regarding Mayoral appointments, Mr. Utt said staff would get that information together for the work session.
b. Resolution 2018-36, Planning Commission Appointments.
Mr. Utt said this was a follow-up to the interviews conducted last week with two candidates for vacancies on
the Planning Commission. The two new appointees were Chris Conner and Janet Jonas, while Terry Hale and
Melissa Thomas were reappointments to the Commission.
Mr. Dawson moved to approve Resolution 2018-36, A Resolution Appointing Citizens to the Planning
Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr. Penn and 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
Next item considered was a request for a joint public hearing for a special exception application.
c. Request for Joint Public Hearing on Special Exception Application
Mr. Utt informed Council that the Town had received a request from Pulaski Medical at 1006 East Main Street
for a special exception to enlarge their facility. The applicant had secured extra space from the owner and a
building permit, which was issued prematurely by the Town. For a non -conforming use however, a special
exception was required. The goal was to have a joint public hearing by the Planning Commission and Town
Council on December 4th, which offered the advantage of both bodies hearing the same information and
answers to questions at the same time. Mr. Utt recommended that a joint public hearing be scheduled for
December 4th
Mr. East moved that Council direct staff do to all the necessary publications regarding a joint public hearing on
a special exception application for Pulaski Medical on December 4, 2018. Mr. Goodman seconded the motion
which was approved by 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
14. Closed Session
Mayor Clark then requested a motion to enter Closed Session for three items: one item under Va. Code 2.2-
3711 (A) 1, a personnel matter regarding the Town's Organizational Chart; one item under Va. Code 2.2-3711
(A) 3, discussion or consideration of acquisition of real property or disposal of public property concerning West
Main Street properties; and, one item under Va. Code 2.2-3711 (A) 7, consultation with legal counsel regarding
actual or probable litigation regarding a zoning violation.
Mr. Goodman asked what conversation on the Organizational Chart made it appropriate for a closed session.
Mr. Utt replied it was specific to the creation or elimination of positions.
Mr. Goodman then moved to enter Closed Session for the three referenced issues. His motion was seconded
by Mr. East and 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
Council entered Closed Session at 8:23 p.m. and returned from Closed Session at 9:18 p.m.
Mayor Clark asked for a certification moJon that Council only discussed those three items for which it went into
Closed Session: one item under Va. Code 2.2-3711 (A) 1, a personnel matter regarding the Town's
Page 8 of 9/November 6, 2018
Organizational Chart; one item under Va. Code 2.2-3711 (A) 3, discussion or consideration of acquisition of
real property or disposal of public property concerning West Main Street properties; and, one item under Va.
Code 2.2-3711 (A) 7, consultation with legal counsel regarding actual or probable litigation regarding a zoning
violation.
Mr. Goodman made the certification motion, which was seconded by Mr. East and approved on the following
roll call vote:
Lane R. Penn
-Aye
Joseph K. Goodman
-Aye
Brooks R. Dawson
-Aye
G. Tyler Clontz
