Votes at a glance: Roanoke council approves grants, cybersecurity agreement, code amendment and ordinance corrections
Roanoke City Council on Oct. 6 approved a bundle of action items during the afternoon session. The transcript records the council accepting multiple grants, approving a contract amendment and making two ordinance corrections; specific vote tallies and mover/second details are not recorded in the transcript excerpt.

Actions recorded in the transcript excerpt include acceptance of grants to acquire property at Blue Hills, Indian Village Lane and Franklin Road Southwest; acceptance of grant funding for watershed modeling on Trout Run and Hortons Branch; acceptance of grant funding to allow the Roanoke Police Department to pay for off‑duty officers for impaired‑driving and other moving‑vehicle enforcement; and acceptance of a cybersecurity grant agreement to support a vulnerability‑management program for the City of Roanoke IT networks.

The council also approved an encroachment permit for city property on Peters Creek Road and an amendment to the contract for the Wausena Inn River Park project. Later in the agenda the council approved a city code amendment updating the name of a polling location and repealed and replaced two ordinances related to HUD Continuum of Care funding and funding for a drug prosecutor to correct scrivener’s errors.

The transcript excerpt does not supply motion language, vote counts, or funding amounts for the grants and contract amendment; where those numeric details were not provided, the article records them as not specified. The council’s next scheduled meetings were noted as Monday, Oct. 20 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
