ITEM @-11758
City Council listened to a Presentation made by a group of citizens
oPposed to the proposed North Virginia Beach Drainage Project, which
is scheduled for bid opeiiing on February 9, 1978, and presentation to
the City Council for approval during the March meetings of Council.
Explaiiation for the odposition to the project was -iven by representatives
of Arthur B. Strack and Associates of Florida, who indicated that while the
project met engineering standards the theory which was to provide for the
runoff of the water had not been tested either by experience or model
testing units.
I
@lesidents of the area expressed concern over the estimated cost of the
project verses the need, based upon experience derived from previous
storms, they also indicated that they felt that it would be more appropriate
to complete the sanitary sewer svstem and the water system before undertaking
the surface water drainage system.
Representatives of the North Virginia Beach Civic League indicated that the
matter had been discussed at several public meetings, and that the project
as presented, while not specifically endorsed, had met the approval of the
civic league, when the league considered the report of the Mayor's
Comnlittee, regarding public improvements in the North Virginia Beach area.
City Council indicated they would take no action to change this project
in that no one has presented a more feasible and less costly alternative.

an invitation to the Legislation Dinner, and each Council Member is
requested to attend if possible. It will be held Tuesday, Februar@, 23, 1978.
ITEM #11743
Mayor Holland stated that last week he brought up the possibility of
the local option on the one percent sales tax. This was generated by
the interest shown in the four-City area, primarily by Dlayor Thomas,
and the City of Norfolk is not interested in it being local oDtion.
The local option is something that would be available to the City
of Virginia Beach, however, since the last of the bills were to be
introduced in the General Assembly on Friday, i.t would not be of
any benefit to the Council to discuss it further.
ITEM #11744
Councilwoman Oberndorf stated that last week I,,Iayor Holland handed
to Council a letter from Senator A. Joseph Canada regarding an

year in litter clean up, and the City of Virginia Beach spends
$210,236 per year. These figures were broken down to street sweeping
roadside clean up and beach clean up. The beach clean up for labor
alone costs $9-5,593.24.
Councilwoman Oberndorf further stated that Oregon's Governor stated
that their anti-litter law has proven to be a tremendous savings to
the citizens in the state.
Councilwoman Oberndorf read the resolution to Council, a cody of
which is on file in the Office of tlie City Clerk.
