4. Consent Agenda
A. Citizen Comments
Comments from the public, limited to five minutes, on matters not
already having a public hearing at the same meeting.
Donna Crotts, 307 N. Broad Street, was the first citizen to appear before Council
this evening. She thanked Council for the thought-provoking questions that they
asked in the Joint Meeting with the Planning Commission and Hope Tree last
week. She also asked that they take time for more investigation of the debated
aspects of the proposal before making a decision. She expressed that she was
opposed to the Hope Tree proposal and felt that there were other locations in
Salem that would be appropriate for this type of development. Ms. Crotts
requested that this green space be preserved.
Tommy McDonald, 425 N. Broad Street, shared concerns about the Hope Tree
proposal. He expressed that there were other appropriate locations for this plan,
but he felt that this proposal was not right for this location. He voiced concerns
about traffic. He expressed that he felt there was a need for additional neutral
third-party studies. Mr. McDonald noted that he hoped Council would vote "no"
to this proposal. However, if this proposal did go through, he requested that they
not allow apartment living and would reduce the number of homes allowed as
well as the amount of commercial space. He spoke of the importance of keeping
these homes compatible with those already in the area and expressed a concern
that this development would impact the property value of the surrounding homes
in a negative manner. Mr. McDonald requested that Council take more time
before making this decision.
Karla Murphy, 721 Mount Vernon Avenue, expressed concerns about the
proposed Hope Tree development. She discussed traffic concerns and noted that
she had done personal traffic counts at the corner of Mt. Vernon Avenue and
Carrollton. She also expressed concerns about the level of services and quality
of life. She requested that the City look outside the box and explore other
options to preserve this location.
Stella Reinhard, 213 N. Broad Street, expressed that she was against the Hope
Tree rezoning request. She also expressed appreciation for the questions that
Council raised to the developers during the Work Session last week. Mrs.
Reinhard felt that in revising the proposed plan that some better solutions could
be utilized for some of the issues that have been raised over the last several
months. She also questioned why Hope Tree was requesting rezoning of the
entire sixty-two acres. She requested consideration of withdrawing the PUD from
the present proposal and possibly using Special Exceptions to provide some of
what was being considered in the PUD form. Mrs. Reinhard felt there were other
locations in the City that would be more appropriate for this development as
proposed.
B. Minutes Consider acceptance of the February 12, 2024, Work Session and
Regular Meeting minutes.
The minutes were approved as written.
C. Financial Reports

A. Urban Archery Program
Consider request to authorize the City Manager to notify the
Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) that the City of
Salem will participate in the 2024-2025 urban archery program
regulated by DWR.
Mr. Light noted that the Department of Wildlife Resources administers and
regulates a special urban archery season. Localities must provide a certified
letter of intent to DWR by April 1st for the initial year of participation.
Thereafter, we would have to opt-out by April 1st in order to not participate
in a given year. This item is a request for Council to authorize the City
Manager to send that letter.
Mr. Foley clarified that this just authorizes citizens to utilize urban archery
for deer during prescribed dates established by DWR that are additional to
the normal archery season.
Mayor Turk stated that this is something the State allows at the local level.
Mr. Foley asked Mr. Guynn if there was any additional information.
Mr. Guynn confirmed that there were no additional details.
Randy Foley motioned to authorize the City Manager to notify the Virginia
Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) that the City of Salem will
participate in the 2024-2025 urban archery program regulated by DWR. H.

Ayes: Foley, Holliday, Turk, Wallace
Absent: Jones
B. Blue Ridge Behavioral Healthcare Bylaws
Consider approval of Revised Blue Ridge Behavioral Healthcare bylaws.
Mayor Turk asked to clarify if this was just updating their bylaws and
looking at what was changed and approving that.
Mr. Light stated that per their bylaws, the surrounding localities were
required to approve any changes to the bylaws.
Vice-Mayor Wallace asked Mr. Light to highlight the specifics of what was
being amended.
Mr. Light provided the following summary of changes to the bylaws: 1) They
removed language that separated the board from the entity as a Community
Services Board to provide clarity and precision to the document; 2) Where
applicable, reverted back to language in the Code of Virginia; 3) Article III,
Section 5 that details Mechanics of Board members has been removed from
bylaws and into a separate administrative policy; 4) Added attendance
language for board members into the bylaws; and 5) Article XI, Standing

Healthcare bylaws. H. Hunter Holliday seconded the motion.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SALEM, VIRGINIA
HELD AT SALEM CITY HALL
MEETING DATE: March 11, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Request to amend the School Operating Fund, School Grants
Fund, and School Cafeteria Fund budgets as approved by the
School Board on February 13, 2024
SUBMITTED BY: Rosemarie B. Jordan, Director of Finance
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The School Operating Fund, School Grants Fund, and School Cafeteria Fund budgets
were amended for fiscal year 2023-2024 by the School Board at their meeting on February
13, 2024. The Board amended the Operating Fund budget to increase revenues and
expenditures by $65,000, the Grants Fund to increase revenues and expenditures by
$417,325, and the Cafeteria Fund to increase revenues and expenditures by $137,000.
The attached memo details the appropriation changes.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Appropriation changes totaling $65,000, $417,325, and $137,000 to be made to the School
Operating, Grants, and Cafeteria Funds, respectively.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council approve the School Board’s appropriation changes of
$65,000 to the School Operating Fund, $417,325 to the School Grants Fund, and
$137,000 to the School Cafeteria Fund, per the attached report.
Salem City Schools
Budget Adjustments Report
February 13, 2024
Summary of Issue:
At times during the year, additional funding may be received by the school division
through donation, grant, increased funding due to ADM (Average Daily
Membership) increases, or some other means. This revenue increases the budget
requiring Board approval.
The cafeteria fund budget needs to be adjusted at this time because new funds
have been awarded or received since budget adoption and they need to be
accounted for on the books. On January 26, 2023, we received notification from
VDOE that we were awarded $17,000 from the 2022 National School Lunch
Program (NSLP) Equipment grant. We brought this to the board in February of
2023 but the funds were not able to be used as equipment was hard to come by
at that time, and the quotes could not be secured. The grant deadline was April of
2024, so the team waited and secured quotes in late 2023 to make the purchase
of an upright, reach-in, three-section freezer for West Salem Elementary School.
The grant fund budget needs to be adjusted at this time because we have received
notification from VDOE that we have received year 2 of the School Based Mental
Health grant for $195,900. These funds will be used to build capacity for managing
recruitment and retention efforts of school mental health professionals through the
application of multi-tiered systems of support core components. Activities for this
grant in year 2 (January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024) include comprehensive
retention planning activities, additional funding of School Based Mental Health
positions salary and benefits, participation in the Implementation Science
Academy and professional learning stipends. The division also plans to use
funding for parent coaching services for families and supplies for the program.
In October of 2023, we received notification from VDOE that we were awarded a
VTSS grant in the amount of 22,500. The grant will be used to fund stipends to
support coaching positions and VTSS positions within the division and to provide
substitutes for when the coaches meet for planning and for events. It will cover
the cost of event travel and needed supplies for the program as well.
In the January 4, 2024 issue of the VDOE Newsletter, we were notified that the
Title II grant received an additional allocation of $506. This will go toward costs of
professional development for staff. On October 5, 2023, we were notifi ed by
Project HOPE that under the McKinney-Vento state funding, we were awarded
$3,000 to help with our homeless population expenses such as transportation and
supplies. We plan to use this to cover some of the cost to transport students and
to provide clothing and school needs to this group of students.
We received notification on November 20, 2023 that we were awarded a small
security equipment grant of $5,025 that will be used for ballistic film for the cafeteria
windows at G.W. Carver. There is a local match of $1,256 that will come from our
match account set aside in the CIP process. We received notification on
November 20, 2023 that we received a third round of ECF (Emergency
Connectivity Fund) funds in the amount of $30,000 to purchase Chromebooks for
students in the division.
Lastly, because at unknown times of the year we receive additional funding that’s
not included in the Adopted budget, we are requesting that a contingency budget
be added to the General fund, the Grants fund and the Cafeteria fund to eliminate
the need to bring budget adjustments to the board and council at almost every
meeting. Having the contingency accounts will provide the budget to move to
those new accounts. A report will still be provided to the school board periodically
to list what awards we have received so you will be aware but the behind the scene
work can happen without the delay of both boards approval as we’ve done in the
past.
For the General fund, it’s mainly for the National Board Certification bonuses that
will be included in the FY 25 budget and this will no longer be a n issue. $65,000
is being requested in the contingency account for the General Fund. For the
Grants fund the contingency is for the grants we receive mid-year (like all these
presented tonight) and we are asking for $50,000 in FY 24 for any additional grants
we may receive. For FY 25 that amount will be larger but included in the budget
that the board will approve. For the Cafeteria fund it’s for the smaller grants we
receive and also for commodity revenue from the government that’s an unknown
year over year. We are requesting $120,000 for that contingency account.
Policy Reference:
DA-BR Budget Transfers
Fiscal Impact:
These budget adjustments will increase the revenue and expenditure budgets in
the School Cafeteria Fund by $137,000, the School Grant Fund by $417,325 and
the School General Fund by $65,000 (attachment A).
Recommended Action:
Move approval of the budget adjustments in the School Cafeteria Fund, the School
Grant Fund and the School General Fund as presented and recommend that City
Council approve the same.

032-0100-48325 and increasing the budget for Fire Programs Grant expenditure account

HELD AT CITY HALL
MEETING DATE: March 11, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Request to appropriate Transportation Alternatives federal
funding for Hanging Rock Battlefield Trail Phase 2
SUBMITTED BY: Rosemarie B. Jordan, Director of Finance
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The City of Salem completed construction on the second phase of the Hanging Rock
Battlefield Trail in summer 2023, which added a walkway connecting the existing Hanging
Rock Battlefield Trail to East Main Street along Kesler Mill Road. For completion of the
project, the City had been awarded and appropriated $450,707 in Demonstration and
Transportation Alternatives funding from the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)
along with the $112,676 required local match and additional local funding of $856,927.
After the project began, additional Transportation Alternatives federal funding was awarded
from VDOT. Federal funding of $187,631 needs to be appropriated to the project.
Because of the additional federal award, l ocal funding of $151,637 is no longer needed
and can be transferred to Capital Projects Local Reserve to be used for future projects.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Transportation Alternatives federal funding of $187,631, along with already appropriated
funds of $1,420,310, allowed for the completion of Hanging Rock Battlefield Trail Phase 2.
Additional federal funding resulted in a lower amount of local funding needed for the
project. Transfer excess local funding of $151,637 to the Capital Projects Local Reserve
account.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends appropriating $187,631 to the Capital Projects Fund revenue account
20-012-0200-48995, Federal Grants – Capital Projects, and to the Capital Projects Fund
expenditure account 20-042-0205-54709, Hanging Rock Battlefield Phase 2. Transfer
$151,637 in local funding from expenditure account 20-042-0205-54709, Hanging Rock
Battlefield Phase 2 to Capital Projects Local Reserve, 20-012-0205-54100.
