HOLIDAY PACKAGE ITEM #lp579
The City Manager indicated that in thc British Airway Holiday Packaqe,
Virginia Beach is included in the package along with England, Scotland,
Wales, etc.
PARTICIPATION IN SPSA ITEM #10580
Mr. Durwood Curling, Executive Directpr, Southeastern Public Service
Authority, appeared before Council in'the INFORMAL SESSION to discuss
the Solid Waste Disposal System.
This system was started in 1973, and Ohould be corqpleted in March of
1983. The system is 30% completed, a@d the $184 Million bonds will
be sold soon. The plant will be located in Portsmouth, with transfer
stations located in:

The City Manager indicated his main c)ncerii was the Ash and Residue
Agreement. As long as it is not goinj to be a financial detriment
to the citizens of Virginia Beach thei the City Manaqer stated he
he would recommend this system to Couicil; however, if the system is
qoing to cost the citizens of this Ci--y money for the system to be
regional the City Manager indicated h@ could not recommend it to
Council.
If the project does not work it will cost the City of Virginia Beach
$600,000; however, if the system doesilwork it will cost the City of

REFUSE COLLECTION ITEM #13581
The City Manager indicated that the City has been discussing means
of maximum utilization of manpower. Manpower is the largest per-
centage of the budget, and if the City can attempt to reduce
requests for additional manpower in the future there is a
possibility of having a stronger hand in controlling the budget.
One way is in the garbage collection. The City has studied several
alternatives in garbage collection. There is a new system which
other Cities have tried, and it has been quite cost efficient as far
as manpower is concerned, and that is equipping the garbage trucks with
a hydraulic arm and using the trash containers that fit the arm in
the commercial and residential areas throughout the City.
The City will place this on a trial basis for 60 to 90 days in two
residential neighborhoods and one in a commercial area. The containers
rent for $1.00 per month.
The director of Public Works indicated the City wishes the concurrence
from Council for two pilot programs. The residential sections would
be:
Lake Smith Terrace
Carriage Hill
if the residents in those areas agree to the Program. The City would
lease the cans for the residents; however, in the commercial area
(Beach Borough), the merchants would have to volunteer to participate
in the Program as they would have to lease their own cans.
The cost would be approximately:
$ 800 per month to lease - commercial area (merchants lease
own cans; City leases hydraulic
arm)
$5,800 per month to lease - residential areas (City leases
cans and hydraulic arm
The City Manager further indicated that in grocery stores and super
markets, the City will be notifying those individuals they will have
to place their refuse in acceptable containers for trash collections.
STREET NAME CHANGES ITEM #13582
The City Manager indicated that at an INFORMAL SESSION of Council he
discussed street name changes in the Little Neck Area; and, further
indicated that the City met with the residents informing them of the
following name changes:
Portion of Little Neck Road - changes to KINGS GRANT ROAD
Portion of North Plaza Trail - changed to LITTLE NECK ROAD
The residents in the area agree with the plan for the name changes, and
indicated that, that portion of North Plaza Trail, which was unnamed,
be called OXFORD DRIVE, which is agreeable with the City.
The City would like to implement this as soon as possible, and notify
the Post Office and the residents in the area of the name changes.

FINES FOR PARKING VIOLATIONS ITEM #13583
The City Manager indicated that he forwarded a letter to Council on
both the FORMAL and INFORMAL agenda regarding parking violations with
a recommendation that the present rate of $5.00 to $6.00 for violation
of a "no parking" sign remain the same; however, in areas that have
extreme importance as far as public safety is concerned be a $10.00
fine (City-wide).
MENTAL HEALTH/MENTAL RETARDATION
FACILITY 22ND STREET LIBRARY ITEM #13584
The City Manager indicated that as Council is a@vare, the City has
been utilizing an older structure on Atlantic Avenue over Sir
Richards Rib liouse for the Substance Abuse Program.
The acquisition and construction of the new Library on 19th Street
makes the 22nd Street Library available; however, the City Manaqer
indicated that before he could recommend the use of the old Library
an appraisal was made of the property as to the value, if sold. The
appraisal was less than anticipated, and it would cost more to repair
then what it was appraised for, as it needs extensive renovation.
Mental Health and Mental Retardation has requested they be permitted
to utilize the building and consolidate all their programs on Sub-
stance Abuse in one building. The City Manager would like to go
ahead and authorize them to do so, and indicated further this matter
will have to be brought before Council for an appropriate to renovate
the building, at an approximate cost of $26,000.
The Mayor suggested the City Manauer give considerable thought to
locating other facilities in the @each Borough to serve the needs
of the Substance Abuse program.
ELECTRICAL/PLUMBING FEES ITEM #13585
The City Manager indicated he is requesting authority to increase
the Electrical and Plumbing fees to be more competitive with the
surrounding communities. The increase will also pay for the entire
Department of Permits and Inspections, which will make that Department
the only self-sustaining Department in the City.
FIRST ANNUAL TRUCK RODEO ITEM #13586
The City Manager indicated the First Annual Truck Rodeo was some-
thing he was very proud of. It was developed by Frank WilliaTnson,
Safety Officer, Department of General Services. Mr. Williamson
initiated the proqram last year with students of the heavy duty
equipment operator school. Before the program was initiated, the
man hours lost because of accidents, new drivers, etc., was very
high.
This year Mr. Williainson came up with the idea of having a Truck
Rodeo for City Employees who handle heavy equipment:
Refuse Collection Parks and Recreation
Highways General Services
Traffic Engineering Utilities Department
4/ 1 6/ 7 9
- 5-
There is only suf f icient time for 50 people to be j udged in this, and
approximately 250 people have been processed in the Heavy Duty Equipment
School. The men, themselves, selected the drivers who would participate
in the Rodeo in their division.
For a cost of $500 and Frank Williamson's time, the City has developed
this Rodeo situation in which the winner's division would receive a
trophy. Each driver will receive a T shirt designed by a student at
V-Tech.
In the Program, the operator will have to go through a series of tests
such as: Maneuvering, stol-)ping, getting close to the line, pulling up
to a loading zone, weavinr throuqh cones, going through narrow spaces
on rural roads, weather conditions, etc.
DUNE ORDINANCE VIOLATION ITEM #13587
Councilman Ervin presented pictures to Council showing a man's property
line, and where he had destroyed the dunes.
Council directed the City Attorney to seek relieve in Court on this
matter.
It was noted that the deadline expired this past weekend (April 13-15),
and it will be studied to see if a summons has been issued.
