RES R-1 PREPARED: 8 / 16 / 95 City Council Policy Title: Hampton Roads Regional Policy on Publicly-Funded Development Incentives and Intra-Regional Competition ! Date of Adoption: 08/22/95 I Date of Revision: I , Index Number: CP 4.01 Page I of 3 1.0 Purl)0se an<l Need Over the past few years, concerns of unfair competition in economic development have been raised among Hampton Roads communities. Contention arises regarding the appropriate use of publicly-funded incentives to attract new firms and especially to induce relocation of companies from one municipality to another within the region. At the init~ance of James Babcock, Co-Chairman of Plan 2007, the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission (HRPDC) convened a meeting in March 1995 of the region's economic development directors and other economic development officials to develop a proposed policy to address the use of incentives. 2.0 PQlicY This policy promulgates a restriction on recruiting or using incentives to relocate firms that are already present within the region. It also recognizes the current situation which places municipalities in competition for external prospects and states generally accepted rules of fair competition. 3.0 Procedures to Ac¢0mplish Policy This policy recognizes that the various municipalities of a region, while involved in competition for economic development, also share a mutual interest in managing that competition in ways that foster the region's growth without unfairly affecting the economic interests of each other, their taxpayers, or the competitors of parties favored by the use of publicly-funded incentives. A. The City's publicly-funded development incentives shall be governed by policy, and development incentives shall be distributed on the basis of public policy criteria. BI Incentives shall be as limited as possible in amount, extent, and duration. Incentives in the form of accelerated infrastructure enhancements or other normal public services are preferable to direct subsidies. Ce The benefits to taxpayers and the City at large of providing incentives shall outweigh the disadvantages to competitors whose interests may be affected. The interests of the City at large and competitors already located in the City may be considered in providing incentives. Title: Hampton Roads Regional Policy on Publicly-Funded Development Incentives and Intra-Regional Competition , ! Date of Adoption: 08122195 I Date of Revision: I Index Number: CP 4.01 Page 2 of 3 3.0 Procedures to Accomolish Policy (continued) De Incentives provided to recruit businesses from outside the region may also be made available to firms already located in the City if the Investment is for an expansion that will result in comparable substantial additions to the economy and tax base. Routine growth shall not be subsidized. Incentives may also be provided as part of the City's retention program. E. When a municipality within the region competes elsewhere in the country to attract new businesses to the region, this process sometimes involves competition with neighboring municipalities for the same prospect. In the absence of a cost/benefit sharing compact among the neighboring municipalities, differences in incentive offers are acceptable. However, municipalities shall make their best offers independent of one another and avoid a "bidding war' with their neighboring localities. FI Since the City develops some prospects on its own, neighboring municipalities shall not intervene in the City's activities during active negotiations unless the prospect itself initiates direct contacts. Ge A municipality which is not successful with a prospect may refer the prospect to neighboring cities or counties and assist in the effort to the benefit of the regional economy. H. Virginia Beach shall not Initiate the relocation of businesses from neighboring municipalities. The City shall not authorize real estate brokers or other intermediaries to represent to prospects that publicly-funded incentives are generally available or to negotiate incentives on their behalf without prior approval of the City in specific cases. Ji Virginia Beach shall market the positive elements and features of the City and not identify any negative elements or features of other municipalities in the region. Ke Partnerships shall be encouraged between municipalities for projects which cannot be implemented by the City acting alone. 4.0 Resoonslbilitv and Authority The Director of the Department of Economic Development shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with this policy.

CA-6015 ORDIN~NONCODE ~TOURFUN . LIN R-2 PREPARED: 08/23/95 APPROVED AS TO LEGAL · .--t~partm~t of Law - 57 - Item lll-O.c, NEW BUSINESS ITEM # 39685 COUNCIL-SPONSORED ITEMS Michael Benedetto, 3920 Whispering Oaks Place, Phone: 454-5766, Executive Vice President - Tidewater Fibre Corporation, addressed concerns relative RFP No. 6033. The contract with New England CRINC required a minimum tonnage requirement of 1700 tons per year. If Virginia Beach did not meet that requirement, it would be forced to pay New England CRINC $75.00 per ton for every ton below 1700. In the last two years New England CRINC has received almost $90,000 as minimum tonnage requirements were not met. Family recycling centers, such as his, are being forced to compete with a large out-of- town processor. Mr. Benedetto was also concerned the CRINC agreement reflects the regional plans of SPSA, of which Virginia Beach is a member Mr. Benedetto is requesting the City have a written bidding process with an established length of time. Mr. Wade Kyle, Administrator - Solid Waste, advised with the proposal the City willl experience going from a cost this year of $144,000 to a net revenue for the upcoming year of $182,625. Tidewater Fibre will have every opportunity to provide quotes on the newspaper. There is a very limited number of bidders who have the capability to haul and process newspapers. As the price fluctuates on the newspapers, the staff wishes to go with phone bids versus written, so they will not be locked into a certain fee New England CRINC was not given any land at the landfill. There are no City employees working at CRINC and the scales are utilized for the City's protection to afford a "checks and balances" system. The City did not pay for power at the CRINC facility. Mr. Kyle requested they proceed with the bid which reflects a major discrepancy between the low bidder and the high bidder by almost four times as much, the high bidder being Tidewater Fiber.
