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

  • Standard for Administrative Data Management September 2021
    Standard for Administrative Data Management September 2021 Standard for Administrative Data Management Purpose University Policy 7100, the Administrative Data Management and Access Policy vests responsibilities in the university’s Chief Information Officer, data trustees, data stewards, other supportive roles, and all data users. The purpose of this standard is to specify the university personnel who occupy the roles of data trustees and data stewards, so that members of the university community who may have a need to access data, make corrections, or better understand data definitions and data sensitivity will know to whom to direct their requests. Scope This standard covers the described data in all forms, whether electronic or paper, and whether the data are discrete elements or narrative documents. Although the standard is not limited to data stored electronically, may university data systems of record are electronic databases, on-premise or off-premise (“cloud”). Maintenance Maintenance of this standard is assigned to the Vice President for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer in collaboration with all university vice presidents. The standard will be frequently updated as data trustees provide updates for their data domain area. All updates should be submitted to the Executive Director of IT Policy at [email protected]. Standard The designations of responsibility in the standard generally mirror that of the university organization chart, since the managerial span of control is required to exercise the data administration responsibilities. There are instances, however, where authority is delegated specifically for data administration outside the organizational hierarchy, or where shared authority is requirement for data administration. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests are coordinated by the Senior Associate Vice President for University Relations (see the University FOIA Policy).

  • CYBER SECURITY Not Llamas and Pigs
    FOR THE UP AND COMING AND ALREADY ARRIVED $3 • Vol II: ISSUE 6 • MARCH 10 not llamas and pigs, but ALPACAS and HOGS GIS Man SPRING COLORS Making the Grade Despite Cutbacks? CYBER SECURITY climbing the paper ladder Nancy Gray, Hollins University WELCOME to the FRONT When Harvard University President Drew Faust recently outlined the challenges facing his university, he counted the loss of nearly $2 billion in its endowment and the fact that students “can’t read more than two sentences at a time” among his greatest concerns. That last is a swipe at social media and text messaging. Meanwhile, at Hollins University President Nancy Gray has led the school’s endowment through an impressive performance against a tempestuous stock market (Page 12) and its students can, indeed, read. And write. And communicate in the ways that will be essential in the future. The point: not all is lost with either the money or the education on this generation of students and administrators. While liberal arts institutions move steadily in rough seas, the “career schools” like National College and ECPI still say what we need immediately are trained workers. That’s right, too. So’s the notion that the state’s four-year and two-year schools serve the fundamental purpose of making education affordable—that’s a relative term these days. Innovation, often lost on the educational elite, is the rule these days. Look at Liberty University where thinking outside the norm is running neck and neck with Jesus. Or at the Higher Education Center in Roanoke, or at the community colleges where enrollment is up, financing is down and creativity is hitting a peak.
