6. New Business
A. Appropriation of Funds
Consider request to appropriate additional state and local funding for the
Apperson Drive Bridge Project. Audit - Finance Committee
Mr. Foley asked Mr. Van Allman when it is anticipated that this work will begin once
it is fully funded.
Mr. Van Allman responded that if everything works smoothly with VDOT the work would
probably begin in the summer of 2024. He noted that this is due to logistics with other
projects. He expounded that a contractor was already under contract for the Colorado
Street Bridge project, and they are about ready to proceed with that. He felt that due to
traffic control issues and considerations with VDOT this project would need to be a little
bit further out. He feels that for advertising and awarding of contract they are looking at
next year.
Mayor Turk noted that VDOT sets the schedule that guides when the City is able to get
projects under way and we try to stay on that schedule. This involves a lot of logistics.
Costs have increased tremendously since the original funding was awarded for both of
these bridges, which has required that more funds be appropriated. Colorado Street is
scheduled to go first. The concern from Council, City Management, and the City team
was that they did not want both bridges to be closed at the same time if possible.
Mr. Van Allman responded that we would not be able to avoid having them worked on at
the same time; however, neither bridge would be totally closed permanently during
construction as there would be a lane remain open. On the Apperson Drive
Bridge project, it will remain closed for the duration of the project for eighteen- wheel
traffic. There is physically no way to work on the bridge with tractor trailer trucks going
through. The bridges will both remain open to vehicular traffic. There may be cueing
issues or there may be a left turn incorporated into one lane, but the bridge will be open.
Mayor Turk asked about the start date for the Colorado Street Bridge.
Mr. Van Allman responded that this work would probably begin in early fall. He stated
that he would update Council and that the community would be updated as well in
advance of beginning the project. He noted that they would follow the same pattern that
was used for the first Colorado Street Bridge. He noted that they may offer local
businesses in the area the option to meet with Community Development to discuss any
issues so that they can attempt to work those out. He shared that they had done well
with community engagement with these bridges.
Mayor Turk remarked that they had done a good job of notification with railroad
crossings being closed and situations of that nature. She asked that the public be
notified well in advance so that they could plan a different route.
Mr. Van Allman acknowledged that they would do their best.
James Wallace motioned motion to accept additional State of Good Repair state
funding of $1,555,107, Urban state funding of $3,203, and Revenue Sharing state
funding of $1,938,760 and appropriate the additional state and necessary local
funding in the General Fund and Capital Projects Fund for the Apperson Drive
bridge project. Randy Foley seconded the motion.
Ayes: Foley, Holliday, Jones, Turk, Wallace
B. Appropriation of Funds
Consider request to accept and appropriate Green Grant funds. Audit - Finance
Committee
James Wallace motioned to appropriate $1,000 from the State’s Green Grants Program in
the Designation of Beginning Fund Balance account and increase the grant expenditure
account by $1,000. Funds will be used to increase the acreage of naturalized areas for
pollinators on public land by converting existing turf grass to a working native prairie at
Longwood Park. Educational signage will also be posted to provide information on the
value of having a wildflower area in the park. William Jones seconded the motion.
Ayes: Foley, Holliday, Jones, Turk, Wallace
C. Appropriation of Funds
Consider request to appropriate General Fund Reserves for repairs to Bridge
#1800 (Apperson near Cook Drive) and to replace ambulance (Medic 803).
Audit - Finance Committee
Mr. Wallace noted that this item is appropriating funding budgeted for and approved in the
FY24 Capital Improvement Plan for two projects. Bridge #1800 on Apperson Drive
over the Roanoke River near Cook Drive needs repair to two sidewalks, an existing
waterline on the upstream overhang, and an existing gas line on the downstream overhang.
Additionally, Ambulance Medic 803 will be replaced.
James Wallace motioned to appropriate $692,660 to the Designation of Beginning Fund
Balance account, $385,000 to the Motor Vehicle and Equipment account for the Fire
Department, and $307,660 to the Transfer to Capital Projects account in the General Fund.
Also, to re-appropriate $74,772 of highway maintenance state funding to the Designation
of Beginning Fund Balance account and to the Transfer to Capital Projects highway
maintenance account in the General Fund. Lastly, to appropriate $607,660 to the
Transfer from General Fund account and to the Apperson Drive Bridge Repairs #1800
account in the Capital Projects Fund.
William Jones seconded the motion.
Ayes: Foley, Holliday, Jones, Turk, Wallace
D. Appropriation of Funds
Consider request to appropriate proceeds from the sale of equipment. Audit -
Finance Committee
James Wallace motioned to appropriate accumulated surplus equipment sale revenue of
$37,000 to the Designation of Beginning Fund Balance and increase the expenditure
budget for Machinery & Equipment account by $37,000 in the Street Department.
William Jones seconded the motion.
Ayes: Foley, Holliday, Jones, Turk, Wallace
E. Transfer of Funds to Salem Public Schools
Consider authorizing the transfer of funds from contingency to the Salem Public
Schools. Audit-Finance Committee
Mr. Wallace remarked for background purposes that the City Manager had shared the
information in the Audit- Finance Committee meeting that if the State's funding comes
through, Dr. Hicks has stated that this money will be coming back to the
City. He asked Mr. Taliaferro to elaborate on this.
Mr. Taliaferro shared that in talking to the School division, the School Superintendent
stated that potentially, with an amended State budget, the School Division could receive
extra moneys that could fund part of the items from this 1.1 million that has designated
uses. If so, he has agreed that they would return the portion that the City provided to
fund those items.
James Wallace motioned to authorize the transfer of additional requested funds of
$1,098,231 for FY24 to the Salem Public Schools for specific budgetary needs. The
City’s FY24 budget accounts for this request and funding is available to transfer
upon Council approval. William Jones seconded the motion.
Ayes: Foley, Holliday, Jones, Turk, Wallace
F. West Main Street Storage
Consider setting bond for physical improvements and erosion and sediment
control and landscaping for West Main Street Storage. Audit - Finance
Committee
For the benefit of the those present, Mr. Wallace clarified that this item is in reference to
the old Layman Distribution Warehouse on West Main Street.
James Wallace motioned to set a bond amount of $18,813.00 and time for completion of
twelve (12) months for physical improvements, erosion and sediment control and
landscaping for West Main Street Storage, located at 1630 West Main Street. Randy
Foley seconded the motion.
Ayes: Foley, Holliday, Jones, Turk, Wallace
G. Boards and Commissions

Randy Foley motioned to re-appoint Margaret Humphrey and J. Chris Conner for two-
year terms ending August 12, 2025, to the Personnel Board and to appoint Jeff Ceaser to
complete a two-year term ending June 30, 2024, to the Roanoke River Blueway
