SUMMARY CONCLUSION Based on my review of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act and the facts prowded by you, I am of the op~mon that you do not have a personal ~nterest ~n the Town Center project. Therefore, you may partmipate on behalf of City Councd ~n the ongmng discussions concerning Town Center. I base the aforesmd conclusion on the following facts which you have presented. Please review and verify the accuracy of the facts set forth herren as you may only rely upon th~s opimon to the extent that those facts are complete and accurate. FACTS PRESENTED The City and the Virg~ma Beach Development Authority have a contract w~th Town Center Assomates, L.L.C. ("Town Center Assomates") to develop the Town Center of V~rgima Beach ("Town Center"), a mult~-mdhon dollar urban development center located ~n the C~ty's Central Vine-Mayor Louis R. Jones -2- July 1, 2003 Re: Request for Conflict of Interests Act Oplmon Business D~strict. Armada Hoffier Development Company proposed the Town Center project, and when the C~ty accepted, Armada Hoffier Development Company formed Town Center Associates for the purpose of entering ~nto the Town Center pubhc-pnvate partnership with the C~ty. Town Center Associates engaged Armada Hoffier Development Company as developer of the project, and Armada Hoffier Development Company engaged Armada Hoffier Construction Company to construct the project. Town Center Associates or ~ts assigns or other Armada Hoffier-afilliated entities~ wall operate and lease the completed Phase I tower and the parking structure and wall construct, operate and lease future Town Center ~mprovements ~n Phase II and beyond. In the normal course ofbus~ness, completed projects of Armada Hoffier-affihated entities that are not sold are managed and operated by Armada Hoffier Properties. You have an ownership ~nterest ~n Resource Bank which exceeds three percent of ~ts total equity. Since 1997, Resource Bank has extended three loans and two lines of credit to various Armada Hoffier-affiliated ent~t~es. In 1997, Resource Bank extended to Armada Hoffier Construction Company a $1 mdlion revolving line of credit. That line of credit was extended on June 29, 2001, but ~t was cancelled ~n August 2001 (hereinafter "cancelled.hne of credit") Also ~n 1997, Resource Bank extended to Armada Hoffier Investment Properties II a $1.2 m~llion loan for the purchase of three parcels ~n the Greenbrier section of Chesapeake. That loan was renewed in April 2000 in the name of A/H Land L.L.C. (hereinafter "Greenbrier loan"). In 2000, Resource Bank extended to Lake Gaston, L.L.C. a $2.6 million loan for the constructmn of a Food Lion. The facility ~s being built by Armada Hoffier Construction Company (hereinafter "Food Lion loan"). Also in 2000, Resource Bank entered into a 50/50 part~mpatlon agreement with Monarch Bank for a $1.6 milhon line of credit to Armada Hoffier Properties. Resource Bank d~d not directly contract with Armada Hoffier Properties. Rather, Armada Hoffier Properties contracted with I Throughout th~s op~mon, the term "Armada Hoffier-affihated entity" refers to ent~t~es whmh share the same pnnc~pals as Armada Hoffier Construction Company The Act defines "affiliated bus~ness entity relationship" as "a relationship, other than parent-subsidiary relationship, that emsts when 0) one bus~ness entity has a controlhng ownership interest in the other business entity, (n) a controlling owner ~n one entity ~s also a controlling owner ~n the other entity, or (ill) there ~s shared management or control between the business entities. Factors that may be considered in determining the existence of an affiliated business entity relationship ~nclude that the same person or substantially the same person owns or manages the two entities, there are common or commingled ftmds or assets, the business ent~t~es share the use of the same offices or employees, or otherwise share act~wt~es, resources or personnel on a regular bas~s, or there ~s otherwise a close working relationship between the entlt~es" Va Code § 2 2-3101. Vice-Mayor Louis R. Jones -3- July 1, 2003 Re: Request for Conflict of Interests Act Opinion Monarch Bank, which then entered into a participation agreement with Resource Bank. The line of credit is unrestricted as to its business use. You have advised that this participation line of credit has been cancelled (hereinafter "cancelled participation hne of cre&t"). In 2001, Resource Bank extended a $1.2 million loan to Armada Hoffier Construction Company for the construction of an insurance building in New Jersey (hereinafter "New Jersey loan"). ISSUE PRESENTED May you participate on behalf of City Council ~n the ongoing discussions concerning Town Center? DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION The State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act is set forth ~n § 2.2-3100 et seq. of the Code of Virginia (1950), as amended. The primary focus of the Act is on the personal interests of an officer or employee of state or local government in the transactions of, and contracts with, the governmental or advisory agency of which he or she is a member. Based on the definitions set forth in the Act, you have a "personal interest''2 in Resource Bank by virtue of your ownership interest which exceeds three percent of its total equity. The critical inquiry, therefore, is whether, because of your personal interest in Resource Bank, you have a "personal interest m a transaction''3 concerning Town Center. 2 "'Personal interest' means a finanmal benefit or habflaty accrmng to an officer or employee or a member of h~s ammed~ate family. Such anterest shall exast by reason of 0) ownership an a busaness ~f the ownershap anterest exceeds three percent of the total eqmty of the busaness; (n) annual ancome that exceeds, or may reasonably be antmapated to exceed, $10,000 from ownership an real or personal property or a busaness; (in) salary, other compensataon, fnnge benefits, or benefits from the use of property or any combination thereof, prod or provided by a busaness or governmental agency that exceeds, or may reasonably be antmlpated to exceed, $10,000 annually; 0v) ownershap of real or personal property afthe anterest exceeds $10,000 an value and excluding ownership an a busaness, ancome, or salary, other compensation, fringe benefits or benefits from the use of property; (v) personal habfllty ancurred or assumed on behalf of a business af the habflaty exceeds three percent of the asset value of the busaness, or (w) an option for ownership of a bus~ness or real or personal property ~f the ownership interest will consist of (1) or 0v) above." Va. Code § 2.2-3101. 3 "'Personal interest an a transactaon' means a personal anterest of an officer or employee an any matter consadered by has agency. Such personal anterest exists when an officer or employee or a member of has amme&ate family has a personal anterest an property or a bus~ness or a governmental agency, or represents Vice-Mayor Louis R. Jones -4- July 1, 2003 Re: Request for Conflict of Interests Act Opinion Based upon the facts presented, Resource Bank is not the subject of the transaction. Therefore, the pertinent inquiry in the "personal interest in a transaction" analysis is whether, as a result of the three loans and two lines of credit, Resource Bank may reahze a direct or indirect benefit or detriment as a result of City Council's consideration of Town Center-related transactions. The proceeds of the three loans extended by Resource Bank-the Greenbrier loan, the Food Lion loan, and the New Jersey loan-by contract may only be used by the recipient entities for the specific projects for which the loans were extended. Because the proceeds of these loans cannot be used for the Town Center project, ~t is not reasonably foreseeable that Resource Bank will realize a direct or indirect benefit or detriment as a result of City Council's consideration of Town Center- related transactions. The proceeds of the two lines of credit-the cancelled line of credit and the cancelled participation line of credit-could have been used for any business-related purpose, including Town Center. Because the cancelled hne of credit and the cancelled participation line of credit have been terminated, however, it ~s not reasonably foreseeable that the cancelled lines of credit will cause Resource Bank to realize a direct or indirect benefit or detriment as a result of C~ty Council's consideration of Town Center-related transactions. Because it is not reasonably foreseeable that Resource Bank will receive a direct or indirect benefit or detriment as a result of Town Center transactions by mrtue of the loans or cancelled lines of credit extended by Resource Bank to Axmada Hoffier-affihated entities, these loans and lines of credit do not result in your having a personal interest in Town Center-related transactions. Therefore, the Act would not prohibit you from participating on behalf of C~ty Council ~n the ongoing discussions concerning Town Center.4 As a final note, the Conflict of Interests Act deals with the types of influences upon a pubhc officer's judgement whmh are clearly improper. The law does not, however, protect against all appearances of improper influence. In that respect, the Act places the burden on the individual officer to evaluate whether the facts presented create an appearance of impropriety whmh is unacceptable or which could affect the confidence of the public in the officer's ability to be impartial. or prowdes sermces to any ~ndlwdual or bus~ness and such property, bus~ness, or represented or served ~nd~vldual or business 0) ~s the subject of the transaction or (n) may realize a reasonably foreseeable d~rect or indirect benefit or detriment as a result of the action of the agency consIdenng the transaction." Va Code § 2.2-3101. 4 The conclusion reached ~n this oplmon ~s opposite of that reached ~n the opinion rendered to you on February 22, 2002, and concurred In by Mr. Bryant, the Commonwealth's Attorney, because the cancellation of the line of credit removes the conflmt Vice-Mayor Louis R.

Members are the governmental ent~t~es that approve the JPA Agreement by ordinance or resolution Their authorized representatives will s~gn the JPA Agreement on their behalf 3 Who makes decls~ons on behalf of VEPGA? VEPGA ~s govemed by its Board, which ~s assisted by the advice of consultants and legal counsel and the officers of VEPGA, who are Paul Proto from Henrlco County, Steve S~nclmr from Fmrfax County, and Steve Craig from the V~rglnla Municipal League The Board, with the advice and consultation of its consultants and legal counsel, ~s responsible for procunng b~ds for electric generation supply, evaluating such b~ds, and approwng the award of the contract(s) based on such bids 4 Why should our entltyjo~n VEPGA9 First, should deregulation result ~n the oppormmty for savings, large volume consumers are hkely to realize the greatest benefit Simply put, there is strength m numbers The combined annual usage of pubhc entlt~es ~n the Dominion Vlrglma Power territory exceeds 3 7 bflhon kalowatt-hours Page 2 of 5 Second, as electric deregulation evolves, local governments will be obligated to competitively procure electric generation This type of procurement requires specialized expertise that few local governments have in-house Should your locality not have this expertise in-house, you will have to contract with a vendor to provide such expertise If you consider that cost compared with your VEPGA assessment, you will likely find it is much more economical to participate in VEPGA Joining VEPGA 5 Must a local government approve the JPA Agreement by ordinance/resolution? Yes Since the JPA Agreement is being undertaken pursuant to the Joint Powers Act, the JPA Agreement must be approved by ordinance by counties, cities and towns and by resolution by other poht~cal subdivisions Must a local government find that competitive sealed bidding and competitive negotiation are not fiscally advantageous to the pubhc9 Yes, in order to take advantage of the exemption from competitive sealed bidding/competitive negotiation afforded by Section 2 2-4345 A 13 of the Public Procurement Act This finding is included in the sample JPA resolution/ordinance included with the JPA materials 7 Can staff of a locality sign the JPA Agreement without the approval of its board9 No The JPA Agreement must be approved by an ordinance adopted by counties, cities and towns and by a resolution adopted by other political subdivisions Fees for Participating in VEPGA 8 What are the fees for participating ~n VEPGA9 The assessment represents your entlty's pro-rata share of the total assessment based on your pro-rata kdowatt-hour usage compared to total usage subject to a $25 minimum 9 How is the total assessment determined? A work plan and budget based on the expected activity of the Association for the 12- month period beginning July 1st is developed annually The budget for 2003-04 is $188,500 By way of comparison, local governments in the Dominion Virginia Power territory spend in excess of $230 million annually for electric power Conduct of VEPGA Business 10 How were the initial VEPGA Board members selected9 Imtlal board members were selected from among local govemments that actively participate m the VML/VACo Vlrglma Power Steering Committee process School districts represent approximately one-third of the total usage of local governments served by Vlrglma Power, and approximately one-third of the initial board members serve as representatives of school districts The board members will serve staggered terms as shown on Schedule A of the JPA Agreement As their terms expire, the Members will re- elect these board members or choose new Board members to serve three-year terms Page 3 of 5 11 Why is the maximum size of the VEPGA Board hmlted to fifteen? The mammum s~ze of the VEPGA Board is llnnted to fifteen solely for ease of adm~mstratlon A larger board (such as one composed of representatives from all VEPGA members) would require a larger quorum and make it more difficult for the board to conduct business Although formal votes by the VEPGA Board will be hmlted to VEPGA Board members present at a meeting in whmh a quorum is present, representatives of all VEPGA members are encouraged to attend board meetings and partmipate ~n the discussion of Issues being considered by the VEPGA Board 12 What costs are VEPGA members responsible for9 VEPGA members are responsible for an annual assessment based upon annual energy consumption and for fees associated with any optional VEPGA activities that VEPGA members may choose to partm~pate in VEPGA members are also responsible for payments due under any contract w~th a competitive servme provider to service that member's accounts 13 Can VEPGA expand Its authority on its own9 The JPA Agreement and the JPA bylaws establish the authority of VEPGA Any revision of the JPA Agreement would require the agreement of all Members A two- thirds vote of the entire Board or a two-th~rds vote of all the Members may amend the JPA Bylaws 14 What ~s the planned scope of duties and responsibilities of VEPGA members? Once VEPGA members have executed the JPA Agreement, their ongoing obhgatlons will be the payment of annual assessments and the elect~on of the Board at annual meetings Procurement by VEPGA 15 Will joint procurement be undertaken pursuant to competitive sealed blddlng/competlt~ve negotmtlon requirements of Pubhc Procurement Act? It is expected that the joint procurement process will be exempt from the competitive sealed b~ddlng/competitive negotiation reqmrements of the Pubhc Procurement Act pursuant to the exemption afforded by Section 2 2-4345 A 13 of the Procurement Act The JPA Agreement estabhshes a membership association to conduct the joint procurement pursuant to such exemption 16 Will competitive principles be employed ~n the procurement? Yes Competitive pnnclples are required to be utilized pursuant to the exemption afforded by Section 2 2-4345 A 13 of the Procurement Act, and the procurement process to be authorized by the VEPGA Board will be based on competitive principles 17 On what basis will the winning suppher(s) be selected9 Suppliers will be selected based on their quahficatlons and the price savings they offer, as described in more detail in Section 2 of the JPA bylaws Page 4 of 5 18 Is VEPGA authorazed to execute contracts on behalf of its Members9 Yes The JPA Agreement and the Bylaws permit the Chair or Vace Chair of VEPGA to execute on behalf of a VEPGA member one or more contracts for electricity generataon services 19 Who will be obhgated to pay andlvldual bills correspondang to each account9 The same entaty that pays the bills now will be obhgated to pay the bill in the future There will be no obligation on behalf of one VEPGA member to pay the electric balls of another VEPGA member 20 Is the payment oblagatlon subject to annual approprlataon9 Yes Evaluation of Joint Procurement for Competitive Electricity Purchases 21 Can a local govemment achieve similar results by purchasing electricity competitively on its own rather than jolnang VEPGA9 It 1s possable, but unlakely, that a local government could achieve slmalar savings by purchasing electricity competitively on ars own Smaller unaggregated accounts are hkely to get higher prace bids due to increased transactaon costs for compet~tave supplaers and due to the suppliers' lnabllaty to take advantage of potentially better load profiles offered by a larger aggregation of accounts In addition, using joant procurement permits consultant's fees and legal fees to be spread out over a larger group Having expertise an evaluatang bids may be partacularly helpful due to the currently volatile and evolvang nature of the market for competatlve electricity supply 22 Are savings guaranteed to VEPGA members9 No Savings depend upon whether competitive electrlcaty supplaers can beat the shopping credat, whmh is based on the Varganaa State Corporation Commlssaon's estimate of what future market prices wall be The shopping credat is the amount not paid to Varglma Power when the supply as purchased from a competitive supplier Pamcapatlng an VEPGA should make at more leasable for local governments to realize any available savangs that the competitive electncaty market can offer However, af actual market prices are higher than the shopping credit, then competatave electricaty supplaers wall not be able to offer savings 23 Is partlcapatlon an VEPGA required9 No Local governments do not have to participate in VEPGA to procure electricity competltavely 24 What as the amount of savings, if any, envisioned by partacapatlng in VEPGA9 The amount of potential savings between now and 2007 is not known In the local government pilot program, savings ranged from 3% to 33% wath average savings exceeding 5% of the amount that would otherwise be paid to Varglnaa Power In 2007, capped rates wall be elamlnated and rates will be establashed through competatave procurement It is reasonable to assume that the purchasang power of a large group of users will yaeld better rates than a sangle user Page 5 of 5 Quality of Service Offered by Competitive Electricity Suppliers 25 Will the winning suppher(s) be required to guarantee power quality and rehabd~ty equal to or greater than existing guarantees from Virginia Power? Yes 26 What is the risk with regard to reliability and quality of power being supplied by a non-Virginia Power suppher9 The electricity will still be delivered through Virginia Power's transmission and distribution lines as well as its other distribution famhtles, including the existing customer meter Nothing will change with respect to the rehabdlty of such transmission and distribution service, so there should not be any greater risk as to reliability and quahty as a result of purchasing from a non-Virginia Power generation supplier Virginia Power's Role 27 Does the elecmclty supply service agreement with Virginia Power, which is effective as of July 1, 2000, address retail access? Yes In the agreement that was negotiated by the VML/VACo Virginia Power Steering Committee and finalized in July of 2001, to be effective as of July 1, 2000, Virginia Power has agreed to permit retail access on terms that are similar to the tertns offered to its jurisdictional customers Local governments have the right to remain on capped rate service through June 30, 2007, or (subJect to a phase-in period over 2002), local governments may purchase electricity supply from competitive suppliers' providers between 2002 and 2007 All accounts may freely go back and forth between capped rate service and retail access service, except for larger accounts with an annual peak demand of 500 kW or greater If these larger accounts purchase from competmve supphers and then decide to return to capped rate service, they will have to stay on Virginia Power's capped rate service for a minimum of one year before they can purchase from competitive suppliers again 28 Will there be any risk that Virginia Power will not service an account that has been dropped by a competitive service provlder9 Virginia Power will be obligated to supply a returning customer upon the same terms as if the returning customer had not taken supply from a competitive service provider The risk of entenng into a supply contract with a non-Virginia Power supplier is not the risk of whether "the lights will stay on," but, rather, whether the supplier will walk away from the contractual obligation to provide the electricity at the agreed upon price The joint procurement documentation will include requirements related to the obligation of the proposer to honor its commitment as to price Additional Questions 29 Where can I get VEPGA enrollment matenals'~ Ms Sarah Laumer Virginia Municipal League 15 E Franklin Street (23219) P O Box 12164 (23241) Richmond, Virginia Phone 804 643 0274 Fax 804 643-0351 Emad slaumer~,vml org 30 Who can answer addltmnal questions about VEPGA9 Mr P Steven Craig Virginia Municipal League 15 E Franklin Street (23219) P O Box 12164 (23241) Richmond, Virginia Phone 804 643 0274 Fax 804 643-0351 Emad scraig(c__)vml org - 30- Item VI-J. 4.
