Taylor Municipal Building 215 Church Avenue, S.W., Room 364 Roanoke, Virginia 24011 540-853-2333 www.roanokeva.gov April 18, 2016 Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council: I present to you the Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Recommended Budget, totaling $281,092,000. It is the culmination of many months of diligent work by our talented employee team, dedicated to implementing your policy direction. We have worked hard to enhance our strong financial foundation to develop an organization that will be more resilient in these volatile and uncertain times. This budget also provides strategic, targeted investments in areas such as public safety and community service that will enhance and build a better community. Returns on our investments Recognizing that we cannot simply cut our way to prosperity, in the years since the great recession we have both reduced our expenditures and made targeted investments in infrastructure, quality-of-life improvements, and telling the Roanoke story to a larger audience. An example of this strategic approach is our active participation in the Roanoke Valley Broadband Authority. Several years ago, we identified the lack of high- speed, accessible, and affordable broadband as a major deficit in our economic development efforts. In response, the cities of Roanoke and Salem, and counties of Roanoke and Botetourt formed the Authority. We then developed a business plan, designed a 47-mile open-access fiber network, and constructed it. In April 2016 we “lit” the network. This budget provides funding for operations and debt service for the Broadband Authority. Just a few of the returns on investment we are now experiencing, include the following: Our investments in education are paying off with rising high school graduation rates, improved third-grade level reading scores, and more children entering kindergarten ready to learn. We have reversed 30 years of declining population and now are one of the fastest growing localities in the region. Roanoke’s Part 1 crime rate is at a 48-year low and our fire services have been upgraded to an ISO 1 level. Carillion Clinic opened its Institute for Orthopedics and Neurosciences with an investment of $32 million. We have experienced several major business expansions and new business openings including Haley Toyota of Roanoke, Fuji Electric, Allstate, Freight Car America, the Interactive Achievement/PowerSchool, Parker Design, BreadCraft, Fortunato, Design Concrete Services, and King Screen. After competing against several cities in a four-year recruitment effort, Deschutes Brewery announced that Roanoke will be its East Coast brewing and distribution center. 9 Professional hockey will be returning to Roanoke when the Rail Yard Dawgs begin their season at the Berglund Center in fall 2016. The return of passenger rail is on track with service beginning in summer 2017. The Commonwealth of Virginia, Carillion Clinic, and Virginia Tech, announced a major expansion of

Robinson. In 1967, a tract of land was donated to the Springfield Park District by the city of Springfield to fulfill his dream. Construction of the zoo began in 1968 and on August 29, 1970, the Henson Robinson Zoo was officially opened. Over the years, the zoo has grown and expanded with the addition of several new animals as well as exhibits. The zoo is now home to more than 300 animals native to Australia, Africa, Asia and North and South America. Over 90 species of native and exotic animals are housed here among naturalistic exhibits.

  • South Mountain Reservation, Essex County, NJ 06.01.2020
    Statement of the National Association for Olmsted Parks Opposing Plans for Development in South Mountain Reservation Essex County is the home of the first county-wide park system designed by the Olmsted firm. This jewel of Olmsted design – celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2020 – provides restorative green and open space across diverse communities in a densely populated area. In these challenging times, open green space has never been more important to the health and beauty of the entire community. Rather than focusing on a new pavilion to accommodate large crowds at the Turtle Back Zoo, the National Association for Olmsted Parks urges the County to prioritize the long-term health of the South Mountain Reservation through maintenance, conservation and preservation of its native flora and fauna and natural lands. ***** Background John Charles Olmsted supplied Essex County with the first South Mountain designs in June 1900. In addition to parks of various sizes to meet neighborhood needs, the firm planned several large reservations in the Essex County System to protect their unique natural scenery for the benefit and health of all county residents. Olmsted presented planting notes, detailing woodland improvements and plans for minimally intrusive roads and paths in South Mountain. The extensive collection of designs, photographs and correspondence in the Olmsted Archives and at the Library of Congress reveal comprehensive long-term plans for a healthy wooded reservation, largely free of development. In 1920, the Essex County Park Commission even issued bonds, valued at $500,000, to allow for the purchase of additional parcels. The property, writes local historian Jeanne Kolva, was needed “to prevent the erection of structures which would appear to the casual observer to be within the reservation itself, and thus greatly detract from its sylvan beauty.” (Olmsted Parks in New Jersey, 2011) In the original Olmsted plans, there was no Turtle Back Zoo.
