he placed on the informal agenda an ordinance, requested by Council-
man Merrick, to amend and reordain Article 11, Division 2, Section
2-25 of the City Code.
The City Manager stated he did foresee some problems in the ordinance,
however, not with Planning items, but with items such as the consent
agenda or ordinances prepared by the City Attorney.
Councilman Merrick stated he would be willing to strike "...with
concurrance of three Council Members...", and have it read "The
City Manager or the City Attorney is authorized to place additional
matters on the agenda up to 5:00 p.m., on the Wednesday preceeding
the Council meeting
ITEM #12412
Councilwoman Oberndorf stated that there was an ad in THE BEACON
regarding the public hearing to be held on Tuesday, July 11, 1978,
by the Planning Commission. Apparently there was some misunderstanding
in the wording of the ad.
It was Council's understanding that the public hearing would be
held to find out what the citizens wanted done with the Old Incinerator
site on Laskin Road, and not for the acceptance of bids.
TTEM #12413
Councilwoman Oberndorf stated that a letter was received by the
Council Members regarding the holding Councilmanic elections on
the even-year ballot in November, with the presidential election,
etc., and the legislator wished some imput by Council Members

to give his views, however, if Council wishes, a letter can be
sent to the legislator with the views of the entire Council.
ITEM #12414
The City Manager stated he would like to have the opportunity to
make a public presentation on tbe purchase of the County and
Kempsville Utilities,
The City Dianager stated that the acquisition of these two utilities
would result in economies of scale in that the City would be able to
maintain a city-wide system with fewer crews than those tbat would be
necessitated by a large number of individually-owned sewer systems.
Further, customers would have unified sewer rates, there would be one
number that customers could call relative to disrupted service, treat-
ment plants and lagoons could be abandoned eliminating a health hazard,
and two existing law suits would be settled.
In addition to purchase of the utility facilities, officials of
County and Kempsville Utilities have agreed to sell approximatelv
36 acres contained within their utilitv franchise for recreational
purposes for $300,000. Such recreational land will be developed
from property now occupied by treatment facilities.
