The following report was received from City Council's Housing and Community
Development Citizens' Advisory Committee, The report presents the Co=ittee's
amended recommendations for establishing a housing and rehabilitation grant and
loan program for low and moderate income residents of our City's designated
Community Development Target Areas.
After further s.tudy involvinq numerous meetings with the city
Manaqer, his staff, and federal officials, the Housinq and Community
Development Citizens Advisorv Committee, appointed bv City C6uncil,
respectfully submits the following amended recommendations concerning
the proposed housing rehabilitation loan and grant program for your
consideration:
1) LINE AND TAP FEES
Line and tap fees should be assessed on an income basis (see Table
below) data supplied by the state of Virginia. The scale for the
non-resident landlord should also be based on the occupant's income.
Those residents having to pay fees because of income over 50% of
the state of Virginia median would pay the amount over a period of
seven years (84 months) in 84 equal monthly increments with no
interest being charged.
The income figures would be adjusted to keep pace with the changes
in state median income that reflect inflationary trends. The balance
due will be subject to adjustment annually if there is a reduction
in personal income which would place the recipient in a lower cate-
gory as per the agreed schedule.
Anyone selling his property voluntarily or replacing the existing
structure on his property within 7 years of the installation's
completion would pay the full amount, in the case of those with
waivers, or the undaid remainder of the line and tap fees into
the corporation set up for issuance of loans and grants. The City
would not enforce its lien on any existing owner-occupied-residence
until the property is sold.
Note:
Virginia median income for family of four $16,348.
Family Size

91- 95 % 10 %
96- 99 % 5 %
lAnq @,A 0 % I 0 / 2 4 / 7 7
Based on these scales and using current sewer and water line and
tap fees, a family of four would pay as follows:
1) If it had $8,174 gross income (50% of median) it would pay no
line and tap fee.
2) If it were earning $10,626 or 65% of.median income, it would.
receive a 70% waiver, and would therefore pay $513 over a period
of seven years. This would be 84 equal monthly payments of $6.11.
3) The same family earning $12,261 or 75% of $16,348 would pay
$855 or 1/2 the $1,710 line and tap fee. Over a period of seven
years or 84 months, this would amount to a payment of $10.18 for
each of 84 payments.
These figures are easily calculated for all incomes and family sizes on
a percentage basis. The costs would, of course, be less for those per-
sons who previously have signed utility agreements based on lower fees.
By including the selling clause, we would hope to allay fears of wind-
fall profits.
2) STREET IMPROVEMENTS
We recommend that no new rights-of-way be acquired in the target
areas and that the streets in the target areas be improved with
no participation by the residents. This is the only point on which
the Committee does not agree with the City Manager. We feel the
street problem is different from that of sewer and water lines.
Where there lias been an unimproved road in use for many years, to
ask the residents to pay to make up for years of neglect is unfair.
It is one more burden that need not be put on them.
3) VIRGINIA BEACH CONMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
Because of a prohibition in the Virginia Constitution, Article X,
Section 10, against municipalities making loans to individuals, a
charitable corporation should be formed called the Virginia Beach
Community Development Corporation. The City cannot make these grants
and loans directly, but a non-profit charitable corporation can, ac-
cording to both the State Attorney General and the City Attorney.
The Committee also agrees with the City Attorney's opinion that the
relationship between the city government and this corporation should
be "at arms' length."
The Virginia Beach Community Development Corporation would have as
its sole purpose the making of grants and/or loans of federal funds
to low and moderate income oersons in target areas. Presently there
is $250,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds allocated by
the City for the purpose of mkaing grants and/or loans and for admin-
istrative costs.
To insure that the funds are used only for activities which are eli-
gible under the Community Development legislation and thereby pro-
tect the City's accountability under that Act, the Committee recom-
mends that City Council should appropriate these funds subject to
the corporation establishing strict guidelines, standards and con-
trols for their use.

In the Doyletown and Seatack target areas, sewer and water lines
are already in place. The Department of Utilities is now sending out
notices to homeowners in that area requiring connection to the lines
Other areas are fast nearing this stage of completion. In order that
these home owners may take advantage of the benefits offered by the
proposed corporation's program, the Citizens Advisory Committee would
aLppreciate Council's consideration of this matter as soon as practi-
cable.

The making of loans should be delayed until future phases
when additional funds become available.

ITEM #11421
Final negotiations for the purchase and acquisition of Princess Anne, Aragona and
Pembroke Utilities have been completed. Revenue projections have been made on
the system, and it is anticipated that the purchase of these utilities and cost
of improvements can be borne solely by the present and future customers within
the present certificated area of the private utilities. Through research by
officials of the State Corporation Commission, the City Manager determined that
this is the largest private utility purchase made by a municipality in the history
of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The report prepared by Hayes, Seay, Mattern and
Mattern places the value to be greater than $15 million, and as Council is aware,
the City will be acquiring it for $8.1 milli.on.
The major aspects of the agreement are as follows:
1. $5.1 million will be paid for the stock in the
P. A. Corporation, which includes Princess Anne,
Aragona, and Pembroke Utilities.
2. $3 million will be paid to the Virginia National
Bank in order to liquidate debts owed it by the
P. A. Corporation.
3. Settlement date will be December 15, 1977, and the
City will take over full operations at that time.
4. A 45-day joint control period will run from October 31
to December 15, 1977.
5. October 31, 1977, will serve as the audit date for all
Corporation funds.
6. No expenditures or receipts after October 31, 1977,
will be allowed without joint review.
7. All liabilities prior to closing date and any
representation warranty or condition contained
in the contract, will be indemnified by the $5.1
million.
After considerable discussion, Councilman Ferrell made a motion, seconded by
Councilman Riggs, to adopt the following Resolution of the Council of the City
of Virginia Beach authorizing the execution of a contract to purchase the
stock of Princess Anne Corporation. The recorded vote is as follows:
Ayes: Councilmen John A. Baum, Robert B. Cromwell, Jr., George R. Ferrell, John
R. Griffin, Mayor Clarence A. Holland, J. Henry McCoy, Jr., J. Curtis Payne, Roger

ITEM #11424
Councilman McCoy spoke tO City Council regarding the Position and comit,@,t of
the CitY of Virginia Beach in the proposed Regional Solid Waste Autbority designed
to process solid waste into usable forms of energy and sell such energy in the form
of steam to the U. S. Navy, hopefully operating on a break-even basis, if not profit-
able basis.
Councilman McCoy noted that a member of the City Council of the City of Chesapeake
had expressed an opinion that such an installation would not be a profitable or
break-even operation as a similar installati,n in th,, areas of the country had
proven both expensive and impractical.
Councilman McCoy brought to Council's attention the commitment of Virginia Beach
in the amount of $605,000 as its portion of the engineering study concerning the
construction of the Regional Solid Waste Sewage Treatment Plant. If the plant
is not constructed it will cost the City $605,000; if the plant is constructed
the cost of the study will be absorbed by bonds issued by the Authority for
which the City of Virginia Beach will be responsible for its proportionate
share.
Should the cost of construction exceed estimates due to increased costs of
materials and labor or change orders the City could be involved in an unanticipated
expense which it need not be involved in except as a party to a regional authority
to assist other Tidewater subdivisions, as the City does not require such disposal
services for its refuse. City Council requested further information regarding
the efficiency and cost of the proposed installation.
