ITEM #11091
on June 20, 1977, City Council deferred action for 30 days on the pro-
posed revisions to the Specifications and Standards of the Department
of Public Works for Storm Drainaqe Pipe. These Specifications have been
revised to allow products other than concrete to compete in the storm
drainage pipe market.
For the past several years, only concrete pipe has been allowed in the
City of Virginia Beach. The proposed policy will allow private property
owners, such as shopping centers, office parks, and privately-maintained
developments to select products other than concrete, if it is their desire,
without dictates from the City government. The policy will, also, restrict
the use of all products other than concrete within tile public right-of-way,
with the exception of extremely large box culverts.
Allowing a choice of materials may result in reduced costs while main-
taining a satisfactory level of performance. Certain types of storm
drain and culvert pipes can be more easily installed than others. This
is often true where the use of heavy equipment is restricted. Various
soil and foundation problems can be overcome by the use of lightweight,
flexible conduits at considerable economy. Versatility in the selection
of culvert materials is important where construction time may be critical;
some types of culverts and pipes can be more quickly installed than others.
The following appeared in favor of the proposed Specifications:
Mr. George Keene, Alcoa Aluminum
Mr. Edward Doyle, Kaiser Aluminum
Mr. Jarqes 0. Atkinson, III, Lone Star, appeared in opposition
On motion by Vice Mayor Standing, seconded by Councilman Baum, and by

During the past fiscal year, the City Garage purchased $19,092.62 in
capital equipment to service city vehicles. Cash in the working
capital fund was insufficient by approximately $6,900 on June 30,
1977, when these purchases was taken into consideration.
The Garage will recover its outlay for equipment through charqes for
services to City departments, but the purchase price will be recovered
over a period longer than during the year in which the equipment was
paid.
Therefore, City Council voted to authorize an increase in the long-term
advance to the Garage Working Capital Fund by $6,900. This will result
in a total advance of $202,000 to the Garage Working Capital Fund.

Institute Learning Session in Charlottesville, Virginia, the meeting
of August 22, 1977 is not cancelled.
ITEM #11098
Councilman Cromwell stated he received a complaint concerning the way
the fines on parking tickets are collected. The General District Court
Clerk's Office interprets the ordinance to specify that citizens have
72 hours in which to pay a traffic fine.
Councilman Cromwell requested the City Attorney to bring the ordinance
back before Council for an amendment to this problem.
ITEM #11099
Councilman Riggs stated that certain games such as frisbee, football,
etc., are causing very serious problems for the people using the beaches.
Councilman Riggs stated he has asked the City Attorney to draw up an
amendment to ordinance 6-73 banning all athletic type activities on
the beach during the periods between June, July and August.
Councilman Riggs introduced Mr. W. H. Kitchen, III, and Mr. Kent Hinnant,
who wished to speak on this matter.
Mr. Kitchen stated that summer before last he appeared before Council
requesting that playing frisbee on the beach be banned, as he had re-
ceived numerous complaints from the tourists regarding this.
This year people have had their noses broken, a woman had her wrist
broken, and a man's small child has been hit twice with frisbees.
Councilman Cromwell stated the more crowded the beaches the more
problems to endure, and requested that the Virginia Beach Safety
Council work with Mr. Kitchen and others who have some knowledge
of this, review it and make recommendations to Council.
Mr. Kent Hinnant appeared before Council regarding this matter, and
stated he would suggest the ordinance read "Athletic sports can be
played on the beaches after 5:00 p.m.".
Councilman McCoy stated that in Atlantic City, New Jersey, they have
banned frisfees from the beaches altogether; however, Atlantic City
doesn't ban frisbees as such, they list all sports prohibited on the
beaches.
City Council turned this matter over to the City Attorney, and requested
he meet with the Virginia Beach Safety Council and the Beach Patrol for
recommendations to be brought back to Council.
