CITY MANAGEAS BRIEFING
LIGHT RAIL
2:30 PM.
ITEM # 41428
Jayne Whitney, Program Management Manager, Tidewater Regional Transit, referenced the letter of
October 11, 1996, from TRT. City Council on July 9, 1996, requested the Major Investment Study for
the Route 44/I-264 Corridor (TTDC Light Rail) be modified as follows:
1. The Major Investment Study (MIS) is modified to include
alternative connections to the Norfolk Airport and Norfolk
Naval Base.
2. The City of Norfolk by resolution of its Council, concurs in this
modification and approves inclusion of light rail service to the
Norfolk Airport and NorfoLk Naval Base.
3. Tidewater Transportation District Commission (TTDC) agrees
that acquisition of right-of-way for the connections to the
Norfolk Airport and Norfolk Naval Base will be included in
Phase I of any project.
4. TTDC agrees to include elevated grade crossing assessments
for all major intersections along the light raillvirginia Beach -
NorfoLk Corridor in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(DEIS).
Tidewater Regional Transit has addressed these issues.
Dennis Prodst, BRW, Inc., provided details relative the Technical Memorandum: Naval Base Connection
Alternatives for Light Rail Transit. This memorandum summarizes the LRT alignment alternatives for
the north-south segment of the Norfolk-Virginia Beach Corridor MIS. The LRT Alignment Alternatives
for the connection to the Naval Base, selected for evaluation, include the following:
Alternative A - Hampton Boulevard
Alternative B - Colley Avenue
Alternative C - Monticello Avenue/Granby Street
Alternative D - Norfolk Southern Railroad Right-Of-Way
Alternative E - I-64
Alternative F - Military Highway
There are approximately 64,000 individuals who make trips into this area, a very significant number come
from Virginia Beach. Fundamentally the physical impacts were examined.
Alternatives A, B and C would be logical continuations of the LRT segment between downtown Norfolk
and Virginia Beach. These two alignments would allow the most efficient LRT operation, since one
continuous line would be provided that would serve all major destinations at the same frequency, rather
than a bifurcated line with different endpoints, and different service frequencies as compared to the trunk
Alternatives D, E. and F would provide fr-equent service along each branch although service frequency
on the common segment would be the same as for Alternatives A, B and C.
Jane Whitney referenced the NorfoLk Southern LRT alignment. The City Council had been concerned
with the relationship with Norfolk/Southern and the use of the right-of-way between Norfolk and Virginia
Beach. A signed letter of agreement between Tidewater Transportation District Commission and Norfolk
Southern Railway Company outlining certain preliminary understandings is hereby made part of the
record. In essence, Norfolk Southern has agreed to sell the right-of-way and TTDC will operate a
freight service, contract with a shortline carrier and maintain the line. The freight customer, Vulcan
Materials, has been contacted and is willing to change their delivery hours. This will be part of the
negotiation of the freight service. Other freight customers will be contacted once TTDC moves into the
next phase. Norfolk Southern has two main lines and they are interested in having the City provide an
emergency connector between their two main lines.

CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING
LIGHT RAIL
ITEM # 41428 (Continued)
A Resolution adopted by the Council of the City of Norfolk concurs to the modifications to the Major
Investment Study to Include abornative connections to the Naval Base and the Norfolk Airport and to
acquire the right-of-way for these connections in the first phase of the fog project.
TTDC agrees to the right-of-way acquisition, as well as the request by the Virginia Beach Council to
include elevated grade crossing assessments along the fight rail corridor in the Preliminary
Engineering/Draft/Final Environmental Impact Statement Geometric improvements can be part of the
project.
Dennis Prodst advised travel to the Naval Base is much more peak hour oriented than other travel in the
region. The current daily ridership forecasts from the oceanfront segment into downtown Norfolk are
13,000 to 15,500.
13% of the Chesapeake residents travel to the Naval Base.
Right-of-Way and Constructions Costs
(1991 Estimate)
Alternative A: $175-MILLION
Alternative B: $175-MILLION
Alternative C: $175-MILLJON
Alternative D: $135-MILLION (ROW acquisition
will be significant)
Alternative E: $150-MILLION ($260 if
HOV Reimbursement required.
Alternative F. $165-MILLION
Ihe actual total of Federal contributions would be slightly over 40%.
Jayne Whitney displayed a conceptional design of a station. The majority of the stations will have a
combination of park-n-ride capabilities as well as bus commuter service. The only exceptions would
currently be the Birdneck Station and the stations in downtown Norfolk.
Mrs. Whitney introduced Commander Kenneth G. Moncayo, Naval Base. A letter supporting the project
has been received from Admiral Cole in charge of all the facilities on the East Coast. They are anxious
to have the Naval Base connection. Admiral Zimmer, new Naval Base Commander, is very interested in
this light rail connection.
A dedicated funding source makes a very significant difference in terms of the ability of planning for the
future and making sure the system is reliable. Ihe financial plan prepared came from the Legislative Study
Committee and the two candidates examined in detail were a retail sales tax of 1/2% and a 2% gas tax.
$376.5-MILLION is the estimated total cost to acquire right-of-way and construct the 18 1/4 mile
segment from downtown Norfolk to the Pavilion. Approximately 20% increase in this cost would be
required for the crossovers.
It would cost approximately $200-MILLION to construct the connection to the Naval Base in Norfolk
Ihe projected fares are $1.25.

COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY COUNCIL
AND THE SCHOOL BOARD OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
PERTAINING TO LEGAL SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED TO THE
SCHOOL BOARD AND SCHOOL ADMINISTRATTON
BY THE OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY
IN FTSCAL YEAR 1996-1997
1. Chapter 9 of the Charter of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia ("City
Charter') provides that the City Attorney shau be the chief legal advisor of the City Council,
the City Manager, and of aU deparumnts, boards, commissions and agencies of the City in
aU matters affecting the interests of the City, and that he shau have such powers and duties
as May be assigned by the Council.
2. The City Charter also provides that the City Attorney is appointed by the City
Council and serves at its pleasure.
3 . The School Board is established by the Virginia Constitution, the City Charter,
and provisions of general law, and is a body corporate vested with all of the powers and
duties of local school boards conferred by law, including the right to contract and be
contracted with, to sue and be sued, and to purchase, take, hold, lease, and convey school
property both real and personal.
4 . The School Board is authorized by Section 22.1-82 of the Code of Virginia
(1950), as amended, to employ counsel to advise it, and to pay for such advice out of funds
appropxiated to the School Board.
5 . Since the inception of the City and its School Board, the Office of the City
AWmy has provided legal services to the School Board and School Administmtion in
certain matters with the consent of both bodies.
6. Both the City Council and the School Board have long recognized the cost
advantage and savings to taxpayers as the prime reason for sharing services of the City
Attomey's Office.
7. Generally, the Office of the City Attorney has provided day-to-day legal
services to the School Board with respect to real estate matters, representation of the Board
on personnel matters, general administrative and procedural issues, and minor litigation, and
the School Board has employed independent legal counsel in matters involving special
education, representation of School Administration on personnel issues, and most litigation,
especially where the Board is indentified by insurance.
8 . Prior to FY 1994, the Office of the City Attorney historically allocated
approximately one-third of an attomey's time (500 hours) to school matters; however, this
allocation, funded 100% by the City, was routinely exceeded.
9. In Cooperative Agreements entered into by and between the City Council and
the School Board for FY 1994-95 and FY 1995-96, it was recognized that, at a minimum,
the equivalent of one full-time attorney position of approximately 1650 hours with staff
support was necessary to adequately perform the level of service historically provided to the
Board, and that new issues would continue to evolve with the advent of an elected School
Board which might alter or enlarge the amount of legal services that the School Board would
want to be provided by the Office of the City Attorney.
10. The School Board has recognized a need for the Office of the City Attorney
to provide an expanded level of legal services and, therefore, has requested the Office of the
City Attorney to provide the equivalent of two (2) full-time attorney positions (or 3300 hours
per year) beginning January 1, 1997, or as soon thereafter as possible.
1l. The Virginia Code of Professional Responsibility for the Legal Profession
requires the independent professional judgment of the Office of the City Attorney on behalf
of its clients.
12. The City Council and the School Board recognize that the potential for
conflicting interests between the Council and the Board may arise, and in such cases, the
City Attorney must reft-ain from representation of interests which may conflict.
13. The City Council and the School Board also recognize that they must work
together and with the City Attorney to identify any real or perceived potential for conflict
at the earliest possible time, advise each other and the City Attorney of any such conflict as
2
soon as it arises so as not to compromise the interests of the City Council or the School
Board, and assist the City Attorney in avoiding any violation or appearance of violation of
the Code of Professional Responsibility.
14. The City Council and the School Board further recognize that it remains in the
best interest of the taxpayers of the City for the School Board to continue to use the legal
services of the Office of the City Attorney to the extent that no real or perceived conflict is
present, and to the extent the City Attorney is budgeted and staffed to handle assigned legal
business of the Board.
Objectives:
The objective of this Cooperative Agreement is to define the scope and nature of the
relationship between the City Attorney's Office and the School Board, to provide for the
delivery of designated legal services to the School Board, and to avoid any real or perceived
conflict in the delivery of those services.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council and the School Board hereby agree as
follows:
1. The Office of the City Attorney will dedicate one full-time attorney at the
Attorney IV level who will be located in the School Administration Building and will devote
all of his fim (i.e., 1650 hours per year) to the provision of legal services to the School
Board and School Administration.
2. During the term of this Agreement, the dedicated attorney shall be John F.
Newhard, Jr.; provided, however, that if a majority of the members of the Board express
dissatisfaction with the legal services provided by the assigned attorney, or by any other
attorney assigned to represent the Board, the City Attorney will nieet with the Board to
discuss and evaluate its concerns. Additionally, if the Board and the City Attorney agree that
the most mwnable way to address the Board's concerns is to assign another attorney to
represent the Board, the City Attorney will use his best efforts to make such an assignment
as soon as possible.
3
3. The Office of the City Attorney will also provide an additional 1650 hours per
year of legal services to the School Board and School Administration. These services will

RE: FY '96 Coastal Program Award Notification
The Department of Environmental Quality has received approval for the 1996 Coastal Zone Management
Grant Award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). We are pleased to notify
you that your proposal has been approved for funding for the period October 1, 1996 to September 30, 1997.
We look forward to working with you in the coming year.
Your project was selected, in part, by Virginia's Coastal Scoring Committee (representatives of the Coastal
Program's networked agencies). We ask that you keep them in mind as potential invitees for workshops or
other events you may be conducting as part of the grant. This would keep us all better informed when
making future grant selection decisions. A set of mailing labels and a list of names and phone numbers for
our Coastal Scoring Committee is attached to this memo.
GRANT INSTRUCTIONS
Contracts
Enclosed is a contract, signed by Michael Murphy (DEQ's Director of Intergovernmental Affairs &
Compliance Assistance), for your Virginia Coastal Resources Management Program grant. Please follow
the checklist exactly:
1. Read the contract and Attachments A and B thoroughly, as we are all obligated to adhere to the
terms and conditions of the three documents.
2. Have the contract signed and dated by the authorized representative where the first green tab
is affixed. (also be sure the scope of work, Attachment A, is signed)
3. Make a copy of the contract and Attachment A for your flies.
An Agency of the Natural Resources Secretariat
4. Have the enclosed form entitled, "Certifications regarding debarment, suspension.." signed
by an authorized rep for your organization where the second green tab is affixed.
5. Return the original contract with Attachment A (scope of work) and the Certification
regarding debarment, etc. as soon as possible.
6. Retain your copies of the contract with Attachments A and B (standard terms and conditions)
as well as this instruction memo in a safe place - you will refer to it throughout the grant
period.
7. Make copies of this notification and report forms A, B, MBE/WBE (for use each quarter) for
all appropriate staff within your organization.
QUARTERLY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Deadlines
Quarterly reports must be received within fifteen days following the close of each quarter --specific dates
are provided in your contract. Faxed forms A and B must be followed immediately by mailed originals.
Progress and Financial Reports (Forms A and B)
One set of customized blank forms A and B have been provided for you to copy and use each quarter.
If your 1994 or 1995 grant has been extended, be extremely careful to use the appropriate grant forms for
the appropriate grant year (e.g. FY'94 = NA47OZ0287, FY'95 = NA57OZ0561, FY'96 = NA67OZ0360)
to report progress and request reimbursement. The Form B is pre-printed with your budget, so it is
important to use the forms provided.
Progress Report (Form A) -- should detail the progress of the project during the quarter. Form A
itself should contain a clear, concise, yet complete summary that is confined to one page. Please attach
more comprehensive information as necessary to provide the full picture of your activities and products.
Draft versions of final reports, press releases, news articles or other interim work products that demonstrate
your progress should be included as attachments.
Financial Report (Form B) -- Please verify the preprinted budget figures, and report discrepancies to us
immediately. Inaccurate or incomplete forms (or IAT's for state agencies) will result in reimbursement
delays. Please be sure the correct contact person, phone number and address to whom the check should be
mailed are included. Backup documentation for expenses on Form B is no longer required from most
grantees, but we may request additional information at any time or conduct spot checks to insure
appropriate documentation is being retained in the grantees' offices.
Report on Minority/Women-Owned Business Activity (MBE/WBE)
MBE/WBE form must be submitted each quarter. If you have not had purchases $10,000 or greater
involving minority-owned or women-owned businesses, simply state "no qualifying expenditures" on the
form.
Audit Reports
All grantees (including state agencies) must submit annual audit reports. Your project period may not
2
coincide with the annual audit period. Be sure to submit an audit report for each fiscal year within which
your project was open.
Number of copies to be submitted
Please follow these guidelines and avoid unnecessary waste of paper and time:
Progress -Form A ........ 1 Original Financial-Form B ......... 1 Original, 3 Copies
Form A Attachments .... 2 Copies MBE/WBE Report ....... 1 Original
LAND ACQUISITION AND CONSTRUCTION GRANTS (SECTION 306A)
Special Requirements and Deadlines
Additional project documentation is required for review and approval by NOAA before the
expenditure of funds will be authorized. A packet of information detailing the requirements may be
obtained from the Coastal Program. Section 306A documentation must be received by your project contact
(see P. 6) by January 10, 1997 and subsequently approved by NOAA.
CHANGES TO GRANT PROJECTS
Budget
Budget changes and written justification must be submitted for approval on the enclosed Budget
Amendment Form. A very important rule that cannot be compromised is that no grantee may increase the
amount of funds originally budgeted for indirect costs. If your indirect costs increase during the grant
year due to a rate reassessment, increased rent or any other reason, you may only show that increase as
excess match. Please note the discussion on indirect costs on page 2 of the Department of Commerce
Standard Terms and Conditions (contract Attachment B).
Under-expenditure of Budgets
Unspent federal funds should be reported to your project contact immediately and no later than two
weeks before the end of the project period (September 15, 1997). This will allow us to reuse the funds
in Virginia rather than having to return them to NOAA.
Scope of Work or Deliverables
Scope of Work or Deliverable changes must be submitted to your project contact with written
justification. Substantial changes will have to be reviewed by NOAA for approval. As soon as you realize
there may be a need for the change, please contact us -- NOAA approval can take 2-3 months.
Extensions ef Project Period
No-cost extensions are not guaranteed and every effort must be made to complete the work on time.
If an extension is absolutely necessary, your project contact should receive the following by July 10, 1997:
(1) a written, detailed justification substantiating the need for an extension; and
(2) an estimate of the unspent federal and match dollars as of September 30, 1997 (broken down by
3
the cost categories on Form B)
Given the lengthy time of NOAA's approval process, this is the latest possible date for extension requests
to be in our office. Although each grantee's request will be considered individually, all extension requests
are forwarded to NOAA as one group.
FEDERALLY-REQUIRED ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Standard Credit Requirements
Please be certain that the following acknowledgment of financial assistance and the NOAA logo are
printed on the cover or the title page of all reports, studies or other documents (including map

releases, news articles, requestsfor proposals, bid solicitations and other documents describing projects
the Coastal Program funded in whole or in part, you must clearly state:

(2) the percentage and dollar amount of total costs of the project financed with
a) federal funds, and b) nongovernmental sources.
(Attach. B, NOAA Administrative Special Award Conditions, p. 5, item 25)
Penalties
Failure to comply with any or all of the award provisions may be considered grounds for withholding
payments under any U.S. Department of Commerce (DoC) awards to the recipient and even termination
of any DoC active awards, (not to mention a negative impact on future funding by DoC).
(DoC Terms and Conditions, p. 13)
**PLEASE NOTE: If you have had other grants with the program, please be certain to reference the
appropriate grant number. (See section on Progress and Financial Reports for
your grant number).
4
CLOSEOUT PERIOD
The 3 mouth period following the end of the project period, typically from October 1, 1997 - December
31, 1997 is the closeoulperiod. During this time, funds that are not encumbered by contract or purchase
order may only be spent toward costs of preparing (e.g. printing) the final work product. If other funds
will be unspent be sure you report this to your project contact before the closeout period begins (see section
on Under-expenditure).
FINAL WORK PRODUCTS
Deadlines for Final Products and Final Reimbursement
Final work products and the final reimbursement request for the grant project must be received by
your project contact within 45 days of the end of the project period. (Check deliverables @ on the
cover sheet of Attachment A- Scope of Work.) This is unless an extension has been
approved.
The request for final reimbursement is made using the Financial Report (Form B). Payment will not be
made until thefinalproduct and Form C are received. It is Coastal Program policy to withhold at least
10% of the award until final product is received.

10 WHEREAS, Norfolk and Suffolk entered into an agreement in

14 project which expands its system; and
15 WHEREAS, Norfolk has agreed with the City of Virginia
16 Beach to expand the Norfolk transmission and treatment systems to
17 handle water for Virginia Beach and Chesapeake from the Lake Gaston
18 Pipeline; and
19 WHEREAS, the Lake Gaston project has been widely

33 all appropriate environmental permits from these agencies; and
34 WHEREAS, the pump station project will require a
35 construction period of more than two (2) years and is now nine (9)
36 months behind schedule, and the three (3) pipeline projects will
37 also fall behind unless the Suffolk permits are received quickly;
38 and
9 WHEREAS, on October 16, 1996, the Suffolk council
0 deferred action on the pump station conditional use permit for
1 sixty (60) days, and on November 19, 1996, the Suffolk Planning

3 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA:
That the Virginia Beach City Council believes that the

to delays and the approval of all four (4) conditional use permits
by the Suffolk City Council on December 18, 1996.
Adopted by the Council of the City of Virginia Beach,
Virginia, on the 26 day of November, 1996.
