CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING
PAVILION EXPANSION
1:00
ITEM # 41657
James B. Ricketts, Director - Convention and Visitor Development, advised in December 1991, the
accounting firm of Deloitte and Touche was hired to perform a Pavilion Expansion Feasibility Study.
This firm made certain recommendations in terms of size of the building and expansion, which were
included in the 1993-1998 Capital Improvement Program. This CIP Also included funds to hire an
architect, perform a site analysis and produce schematic drawings with related documents to support the
expansion. City Council subsequently approved the hiring of a Consultant to perform a Convention Hotel
Feasibility Study as a part of their professional services. The Virginia Beach Convention Center
Feasibility and Site Evaluation Study was completed in 1994 by Williams, Tazewell and Associates and
Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback and Associates, Inc. KPMG Peat Marwick was engaged to investigate
the issue of a flagship convention hotel, either as part of the expanded center or at an alternate location
on the oceanfront. The Convention Center Site Analysis concluded the expansion shouM take place on
the current Pavilion site and the Hotel Study concluded there was a market for a flagship convention hotel
in the resort area. Mr. Ricketts displayed slides depicting the various sites investigated for expansion or
a new facility: Pavilion site, $1st and Oceanfront, present Dome site, Rudee Inlet Loop area and the
McLeskey site (30 acres across Rudee Inlet Bridge on the right next to the boat ramp). Tazewell
recommended the present site because of its current infrastructure, availability and cost. The
recommendation from Tazewell and Associates was for an Exhibit Hall of 125,000 square feet. Mr. David
Peterson, Consultant - Price Waterhouse recommends an Exfiibit Hall of 150,000 square feet. Mr.
Ricketts displayed a slide depicting the first phase of the expansion, if it were to occur on the Pavilion
site: Exhibit Hall, parking for approximately 3,000 cars (combination of surface parking and structured
parking). The next slide depicted future expansion: the addition of another 125,000 square feet of space.
Mr. Ricketts recommendea~ due to the changing in market conditions, conducting a new Market Feasibility
Study and Economic Impact Study.
David C. Peterson, Consultant - Price Waterhouse LLP, presented the FINAL DRAFT of the PAVILION
EXPANSION FEASIBILITY STUDY, a copy of which is hereby made a part of the record. The Pavilion
is primarily competing against smaller centers in smaller communities. This portion of the Study focuses
specifically on the financial analysis.
VIRGINIA BEACH ADVANTAGES
Many Convention and Trade Show Organizers consider Virginia Beach
an attractive destination with its resort area and amenities in the City
and the Hampton Roads area.
Virginia Beach has a large population base which is beneficial for events
seeking venues that can draw regional attendees, particularly trade shows
and consumer shows. Hampton Roads is a growing area and an
expanded Pavilion has the potential to serve as the region's primary
meeting and convention facility.
Virginia Beach's employment composition reveals specialization in
military, construction, retail trade and fnance insurance and real estate
relative to competitive and comparable destinations, the Commonwealth
and the nation. This suggests it may have a comparative advantage in
hosting military-related events, and associations related to the other
sectors.
The City and its MSA have a large supply of total hotel roms, indicating
a potential advantage in attracting state and regional conventions and
trade shows.
The Pavilion is easily accessible from the Virginia Beach-Norfolk
Expressway, the major route into the resort area. This accessibility is an
advantage in hosting events with large portions of drive-in attendance,
such as trade shows and consumer shows.

CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING
PAVILION EXPANSION
ITEM # 41657 (Continued)
ADg'ANTA GES (Continued)
Virginia Beach is centrally located in the Hampton Roads area and the
east coast, adding to its attractiveness for regional and national
conventions and trade shows.
Past users have stated the Pavilion is the nicest facility in the area and
the staff provided quality service.
DISADVANTAGES
Lack of convention class hotel room supply proximate to the Pavilion
is limiting marketability to professional associations.
Lack of exhibit and meeting space at the Pavilion is cited as a major
disadvantage by past and potential users.
Lack of available hotel rooms during the peak tourist season.
With reference to the table representing Competitive Facility Characteristics, the Pavilion ranks eighth
in terms of exhibit space and offers one of the lowest amounts of meeting space. Virginia Beach ranks
sixth in terms of exhibit space relative the physical characteristics of comparable destination facilities.
The Pavilion offers the least meeting space and the smallest number of breakout rooms. It is a credit to
the management of the facility that it is heavily utilized and enjoys a high degree of occupancy, in spite
of the fact it is physically obsolete. Baltimore recently expanded to 400,000 square feet, Charlotte
$00,000 square feet and Myrtle Beach to 100,800 square feet of dedicated Exhibit Space. The large
hotels, Crystal Gateway Marriott and the Hyatt Regancy Crystal City in the Arlington area, are really
the primary convention destination areas in the Commonwealth of Virginia. These will probably remain
so in the foreseeable future. Because of their enormous stock of rooms, these Hotels function as the center
for Washington, D.C., rather than a Virginia destination. Mr. Petersen displayed slides depicting
comparable facility characteristics.
The user survey analysis reveals that the majority of past and potential users promote expansion of the
Pavilion due to the lack of existing exhibit and meeting spaces and growing event space requirementS.
Most past and potential users perceive Virignia Beach as an attractive destination to host their events.
Given the results of the market analysis, the building program shouM accommodate the growing needs
of past and current users of the Pavilion, accommodate potential state, regional and national conventions
and trade shows and provide adequate space to host simultaneous events. The following table compares
the Pavilion's current building program to the program for an expanded facility.
PAVILION BUILDING PROGRAM

Ballroom 0 35,000
Meeting ~ 5_.600 20.000

Based on the building program, hard construction costs are estimated to range from approximately $45.0
to $50.O-MILLION. Total development costs, including site work, parking structure, infrastructure
improvements, site acquisition and furniture, fixtures and equipment, are estimated at $97.9-MILLION
by the TAF Group. The City is currently investigating alternatives to decrease this cost.

CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING
PAVILION EXPANSION
ITEM # 41657 (Continued)
Meeting venues host a variety of events, including conventions, trade shows, consumer shows and other
events. Each of these events place different priorities on center, site location characteristics and
destination amenities. Conventions are large gatherings typically hosted by professional associations or
social organizations and are held in hotels or convention centers. Professional association events, with
or without exhibits, are considered to be of "high economic Impact". SMERF group events are attended
by persons who are members of a Social, Military, Education, Religious or Fraternal organization. These
events are typically sponsored by the organization associated with a specific type of group. SMERF
groups tend to travel to the event in larger delegate groups than attendees to professional association
events or trade shows.
Trade shows are typically hosted by trade associations or retail organizations and are held in
multipurpose or convention centers. Trade shows include trade association events and wholesale shows.
Trade association events are attended by persons engaged in commercial activities and are normally
sponsored by a trade association comprised of members employed in a certain industry as contrasted to
employment in a specific occupation. Trade association events are often held in the same area of the
country where their activities/members are concentrated and often in the same venue each year. Wholesale
shows are essentially trade shows. They differ in that a high percentage of attendees are typically buyers
for retail stores. Attendee length of stay is typically limited to the time required to view new product lines
and place orders. Consumer shows are ticketed events open to the public. They are exhibitions of
consumer retail products for display and sale to attendees. Other events commonly hosted in convention
centers include festivals, reunions, receptions, banquets, seminars and meetings. The types and sizes
of these events are determined by the local and regional economy and the availability of other assembly,
exhibition and entertainment facilities in the community. Incremental direct expenditures estimated for
the expanded Pavilion operations are based on attendance estimates and per attendee spending.

CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING
PAVILION EXPANSION
ITEM tt 4165 7 (Continued)
The City of F~rginta Beach and the Commonwealth of I/irginia also benefit from center operations in the
form of increased tax r~venues. The primary times affected by Pavilion-related expenditures include
accommodations, personal income, retail sales, admissions and meals. Incremental tax revenues from an
expanded Pavilion are estimated to range from SI.S-MILLION to $2.2-MILLION for Virginia Beach
and SI.S-MILLION TO $2.0-MILLION for the Commonwealth.
Net Operating cost is estimated to increase from $883,000 to $1,057,000 for the low option and
$I,190,000 for the high option.

are going into the telephone business.
Vice Mayor Sessoms expressed concern. Council Lady Strayhorn advised Vice Mayor Sessoms she had
consulted with Senator Ken Stolle and she wanted to be assured when they met as a full Committee, the
City of Virginia Beach would have their OPPOSING resolution. Senator Stolle advised he would be
willing to investigate changes for compromise in the original legislation.
Assistant City Attorney William Macali advised the Bill states no telephone company can be charged for
compensation for use of rights-of-way outside of activity related costs, which are just administrative
permitting costs. Therefore, in negotiating a transfer with any telephone provider, the provider cannot be
charged. With reference to Councilman Heischober's inquire, Virginia Power's franchise agreement allows
Virginia Power to use right-of-way to provide electrical service. If they wish to provide telephone
communication or anything else, besides electricity, Assistant City Attorney Macali believes the City has
the legal right to charge compensation.
Council Lady Strayhorn inquired if her testimony had been distributed to City Council Members. The other
cities in the rest of the region have stated their opposition. This is not a position Virginia Beach will be
taking alone.
The City Manager advised the Bell Atlantic lobby on this proposed Bill is enormous. Crossover day is
February 4, 1997. Legislative updates will be distributed weekly beginning Friday, Janury 31, 1997. The
number one legislative priority is to stop this Bill.
Mayor Oberndorf stated this has extreme land use and financial implications.
ITEM # 41670
Councilman Harrison referenced the Conditional Use Permit granted to Tidewater Westminster Homes,
Incorporated for a home for the aged at Shore Drive and Sunstates Court and requested the City Attorney
provide perimeters of the legislation available to the City Council to remove the existing blighted situation.
The City Attorney will provide information.

CITY COUNCIL CONCERNS
ITEM # 41671
Council Lady Henley referenced the Goal for a $o~fe City. Council Lady Henley believed this to be a main
priority. Council Lady Henley referred to the tragedy in Landstown Lakes this past weekend concerning
the shooting death of the Kellam High student. Council Lady Henley inquired concerning the methods
by which this could be prevented. There was a similar situation in Bayside approximately a month ago.
ITEM # 41672
Council Lady Henley inquired concerning the BOC, A CODE relative fire walls not having to extend to
the top of buildings.
Council Lady Henley believed the City should lobby against this procedure to eliminate further
apartment buildings with this hazard being constructed within the City.
ITEM # 41673
Council Lady Henley remarked traffic fatalities frequently are related to individuals "running" red
lights. Council Lady Henley advised there had been discussions of photographing violators and believed
State legislation has been proposed which would allow the introduction of this evidence.
The City Manager will advise the status of this legislation proposed last year. This is a good application
of technology. There was a proposal to have 25 of the worse intersections be installed with the equipment
for this technical photography. The violation fees would offset the cost of this equipment.
Mayor Oberndorf advised Northern Virginia is attempting to have this technology available to photograph
the car and license.
ITEM # 41674
Council Lady Parker inquired if all the homes for the elderly were required to have sprinkling systems.
One of the homes built within the last three years has a sprinkler system in the attic for the heating and
cooling units, but not in the individual rooms and hallways.
ITEM # 41675
Council Lady Parker referenced the newspaper article relative the Public Hearings concerning the
Dredging of the Western Branch of the Lynnhaven River. There were over 300 individuals in attendance
and a very high level of anticipation.
Councilman Jones advised there was anticipation on part of the citizens who live on the Eastern Branch
and Western Branch of the Lynnhaven River that the City may participate not only in the dredging of the
main channel but also in the ancillary canals. City Council approved the Study of the dredging of the
Western Branch in the Capital Improvement Program. Councilman Heischober believed it was clear that
the residents on those estuary canals would have to pay for same themselves on a pro rata basis. Vice
Mayor Sessoms advised many residents acknowledge they would be willing to pay for same. They
requested the City keep the main channel clear and they would take care of the smaller channels.
Councilman Harrison advised currently the City's policy is if the drainage canal functions as a drainage
then the City has no obligation of desilting the canal. Only when the drainage system fails, is it the City's
policy to clean out the canal. The Public Hearing is being conducted by the Consultants for the Study of
the dredging of the Western Branch of the Lynnhaven River. The City was ill prepared for the sizeable
attendance. Councilman Harrison believed the purpose of the Study was to determine if it was feasible
for the City to consider the program and this was in the APPROVED Capital Improvement Program two
years ago.
The City Manager advised alternatives and costs were being considered as a part of this Study. The
problem is being analyzed. The dredging will not be done free nor under the existing Stormwater fee.

Explain in detail why the City Council of the City of Virginia Beach
should recommend to the General Assembly of Virginia that this
organization should be exempt from real and personal taxation in the
City of Virginia Beach. Please include in your explanation, the services
provided by the organization.
The Creeds Ruritan Club was Chartered in August 24, 1948. Its sole
mission is to provide community service to citizens in the southern part of
the City of Virginia Beach.
Since the Club was formed, meetings have been held in various churches,
Creeds and Blackwater Fire stations and homes of members. This has
resulted in great inconvenience to the members and guest. Records and
awards for the past forty-eight years have been kept in several places with
many being lost. The Club currently has eighty (80) members and many of
the previously used facilities cannot accommodate the Club.
The Club has been saving money for the past forty years in order to be able
to have their own facility that can be a permanent meeting place for the
Club and many other non-profit organizations can use without cost. The
facility is used as a site for fun raisers such as barbecues. Additionally, the
facility is used for rest stops when tours are held in the rural area.
The Club permits many non-profit organizations, particularly youth, to use
the facility without cost. There are very few facilities available in the
southern part of the City for meetings. The facility is named the "Ruritan
Community Barn" because of its service and availability to the community.
The Foundation seeks tax exemption from personal and real property
taxation in order to provide a greater service to the community and the City.
The money that we now pay for taxes would be used to pay the utility bill
in order that more youth development organizations can benefit.

Chairman indicated that a copy of the notice and a certificate of pubhcat~on of such notice have
been filed with the records of the City Council of the City of Virg~ma Beach.
The following individuals appeared and addressed the Authority.
Mr Guy R. Friddell, III appeared on behalf of the Borrower. Mr. Friddell gave a brief
description of the Project (below defined). He explained that this was a refunding of the Suffolk
Redevelopment and Housing Authority's (the "Issuer") $4,655,000 Multi-Family Housing
Mortgage Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series of 1987 (Oak Springs Associates Project), the
proceeds of which were used to refund the Issuer's $4,700,000 1983 Special Revenue Bond (Oak
Spnngs Associates Facility), the proceeds of which were used to finance the acqmsition,
construction, and equipping of a multifamily rental housing project conmst~ng of one hundred

1-89293 1
completed in 1984 and public approval was given prior to the issuance of the original bond
financing in 1983. The approval ~s being renewed at th~s time as technically required by the

The refinancing will preserve and extend the restrictions placed upon the property when the
initial bond financing was entered into in 1983, thereby assuring the City of Virginia Beach that
the benefits of the income restrictions applicable to these apartments will continue. He closed his
remarks by estimating an issuance date for the Bonds of late January, 1997.

To the extent the project is being managed in accordance with these requirements, it

That Sections 18-2, 18-5, 18-10.1, 18-16, 18-33, and 18-84 of
the Code of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, are hereby
amended and reordained to read as follows:
Sec. 18-2. Definitions.
Except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning
or there is an express provision to the contrary, the following
words and phrases, when used in this chapter, shall have the
following respective meanings:
"Affiliated group" means-.
(a) One or more chains of includible corporations connected
through stock ownership with a common parent corporation which is
an includible corporation if:
(i) Stock possessing at least eighty percent of the
voting power of all classes of stock and at least eighty percent of
each class of the nonvoting stock of each of the includible
corporations, except the common parent corporation, is owned
directly by one or more of the other includible corporations; and
(ii) The common parent corporation directly owns stock
possessing at least eighty percent of the voting power of all
classes of stock and at least eighty percent of each class of the
nonvoting stock of at least one of the other includible corpora-
tions.
As used in this definition, the term "stock" does not include
nonvoting stock which is limited and preferred as to dividends.
The term "includible corporation" means any corporation within the
affiliated group irrespective of the state or country of its
Il Il
incorporation; and the term receipts includes gross receipts and
gross income.

(b) Two or more corporations if five or fewer persons who are
individuals, estates or trusts own stock possessing:
(i) At least eighty percent of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock entitled to vote or at least eighty
percent of the total value of shares of all classes of the stock of
each corporation; and
(ii) More than fifty percent of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock entitled to vote or more than fifty
percent of the total value of shares of all classes of stock of
each corporation, taking into account the stock ownership of each
such person only to the extent such stock ownership is identical
with respect to each such corporation.
When one or more of the includible corporations, including the
common parent corporation, is a nonstock corporation, the term
"stock" as used in this definition shall refer to the nonstock
corporation membership or membership voting rights, as is appro-
priate to the context.
"Assessment" means a determination as to the proper rate of
tax, the measure to which the tax rate is applied, and ultimately
the amount of tax, including additional or omitted tax, that is
due. An assessment shall include a written assessment made
pursuant to notice by the assessing official or a self-assessment
made by a taxpayer upon the filing of a return or otherwise not
pursuant to notice. Assessments shall be deemed made by an
assessing official when a written notice of assessment is
delivered to the taxpayer by the assessing official or an employee
of the assessing official, or mailed to the taxpayer at his last
known address. Self-assessments shall be deemed made when a return
is filed, or if no return is required, when the tax is paid. A
return filed or tax paid before the last day prescribed by this
chapter or any other provision of law for the filing or payment
thereof shall be deemed to be filed or paid on the last day
specified for the filing of a return or the payment of tax, as the
case may be.

3715 of the Code of Virginia, as amended.
"Business" means a course of dealing which requires the time,
attention and labor of the person so engaged for the purpose of
earning a livelihood or profit. It implies a continuous and
regular course of dealing, rather than an irregular or isolated
transaction. A person may be engaged in more than one business.
The following acts shall create a rebuttable presumption that a
person is engaged in a business: (i) advertising or otherwise
holding oneself out to the public as being engaged in a particular
business; or (ii) filing tax returns, schedules and documents that
are required only of persons engaged in a trade or business.

Sec. 18-10.1 Situs of gross receipts.
(a) General rule. Whenever the tax imposed bythis ordinance
is measured by gross receipts, the gross receipts included in the
taxable measure shall be only those gross receipts attributed to
the exercise of a licensable privilege at a definite place of
business within the City of Virginia Beach. In the case of
activities conducted outside of a definite place of business, such
as during a visit to a customer location, the gross receipts shall
be attributed to the definite place of business from which such
activities are initiated, directed, or controlled. The situs of
gross receipts for different classifications of business shall be
attributed to one or more definite places of business or offices as
follows:
(1) The gross receipts of a contractor shall be
attributed to the definite place of business at which services are
performed, or if services are not performed at any definite place
of business, then the definite place of business from which
services are directed or controlled, unless the contractor is
subject to the provisions of § 58.1-3715 of the Code of Virginia,
as amendedvl
(2) The gross receipts of a retailer or wholesaler shall
be attributed to the definite place of business at which sales
solicitation activities occur, or if sales solicitation activities
do not occur at any definite place of business, then the definite
place of business from which sales solicitation activities are
directed or controlledv; however, a wholesaler or distribution
9

318

320
321
house subject to a license tax measured by purchases shall
determine the situs of its purchases by the definite place of
business at which or from which deliveries of the purchased goods,
wares or merchandise are made to customers. Any wholesaler who is
subject to a license tax in two or more localities and who is

subject to multiple taxation because the localities use different
measures, may apply to the Department of Taxation for a
determination as to the proper measure of the purchases and qross
receipts subject to the license tax in each locality;
(3) The gross receipts of a business renting tangible
personal property shall be attributed to the definite place of
business from which the tangible personal property is rented or, if
the property is not rented from any definite place of business,
then the definite place of business at which the rental of such
property is managedT; and
(4) The gross receipts from the performance of
services shall be attributed to the definite place of business at
which the services are performed or, if not performed at any
definite place of business, then the definite place of business
from which the services are directed or controlled.
(b) Apportionment. If the licensee has more than one
definite place of business and it is impractical or impossible to
determine to which definite place of business gross receipts should
be attributed under the general rule ~-~ ~ ~-~
.... ~ the gross receipts of the business shall be apportioned
between the definite places of businesses on the basis of payroll.
Gross receipts shall not be apportioned to a definite place of
business unless some activities under the applicable general rule
occurred at, or were controlled from, such definite place of
business. Gross receipts attributable to a definite place of
business in another jurisdiction shall not be attributed to the
City of Virginia Beach in thc event solely because the other
jurisdiction does not impose a tax on the gross receipts

attributable to the definite place of business in such other
jurisdiction.
(c) Agreements. The commissioner of the revenue may enter
into agreements with any other political subdivision of Virginia
concerning the manner in which gross receipts shall be apportioned
among definite places of business. However, the sum of the gross
receipts apportioned by the agreement shall not exceed the total
gross receipts attributable to all of the definite places of
business affected by the agreement.
A; ~A _~ ...... ~ ~- -~4A~ ~ ~ ............. ~. Upon being notified by
subdivisions in which the taxpayer is licensed to engage in
taxes on more than 100% of its gross receipts from all locations in
the affected jurisdictions, the commissioner of the revenue shall
make a good faith effort to reach an apportionment agreement with
the other political subdivisions involved. If an agreement cannot
be reached, either the commissioner of the revenue or the taxpayer
may seek an advisory opinion from the Department of Taxation
pursuant to ~58.1-3701 of the Code of Virginia, as amended; and
notice of the request shall be given to the other party.
Notwithstanding the provisions of ~ 58.1-3993 of the Code of
Virginia, as amended, when a taxpayer has demonstrated to a court
that two or more political subdivisions of Virginia have assessed
taxes on gross receipts that may create a double assessment within
the meaning of ~ 58.1-3986 of the Code of Virginia, the court shall
enter such orders pending resolution of the litigation as may be
necessary to ensure that the taxpayer is not required to pay
multiple assessments even though it is not then known which
assessment is correct and which is erroneous.

Bec. 18-16. Penalties and interest for late payment of tax.

file an application or the failure to pay the tax by the
appropriate due date. Only the late filing penalty shall be
imposed by the commissioner of the revenue if both the application
and payment are late; however, both penalties may be assessed if
the commissioner of the revenue determines that the taxpayer has a
history of noncompliance. In the case of an assessment of
additional tax made by the commissioner of the revenue, if the
application and, if applicable, the return were made in good faith
and the understatement of the tax was not due to any fraud, or any
reckless or intentional disregard of the law by the taxpayer, there
shall be no late payment penalty assessed with the additional tax.
If any assessment of tax by the commissioner of the revenue is not
paid within thirty (30) days, the treasurer or other collecting
official may impose a ten (10) percent late payment penalty. Any
such penalty when so assessed shall become a part of the tax. The
penalties shall not be imposed, or if imposed, shall be abated by
the official who assessed them, if the failure to file or pay was
not the fault of the taxpayer. In order to demonstrate lack of
fault, the taxpayer must show that he or she acted responsibly and
that the failure was due to events beyond his or her control.
For purposes of this section, "acted responsibly" means that:
(i) the taxpayer exercised the level of reasonable care that a
prudent person would exercise under the same or similar
circumstances in determining the filing obligations for the
business, and (ii) the taxpayer undertook significant steps to
avoid or mitigate the failure, such as requesting appropriate
extensions (where applicable), attempting to prevent a foreseeable
impediment, acting to remove an impediment once it occurred, and
promptly rectifying a failure once the impediment was removed or
the failure discovered.
"Events beyond the taxpayer's control" include, but are not
limited to, the unavailability of records due to fire or other
casualty; the unavoidable absence (due to death or serious illness)
of the person with the sole responsibility for tax compliance; or
the taxpayer's reasonable reliance in good faith upon erroneous

accrue in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of
section 18-16 of this chapter, but no further penalty shall be

hide property therein, or (iv) to do any other act tending to
prejudice, or to render wholly or partially ineffectual,

pursuant to ~ 58.1-1822. Following such an order, either the
taxpayer or the assessing official may apply to the appropriate
circuit court pursuant to § 58.1-3984 of the Code of Virginia.
However, the burden shall be on the party making the application to
show that the ruling of the Tax Commissioner is erroneous. Neither
the Tax Commissioner nor the Department of Taxation shall be made
a party to an application to correct an assessment merely because
the Tax Commissioner has ruled on it.
(~) On receipt of a notice to file an appeal to the Tax
Commissioner under subsection (f) of this section, the commissioner
of the revenue shall further suspend col%ection activity until a

the same meaning as provided in subsection (e) of this section.
~e~ (h) Any taxpayer may request a written ruling from the
commissioner of the revenue regarding the application of the tax to
a specific situation. Any person requesting such a ruling must
provide all the relevant facts for the situation and may present a
rationale for the basis of an interpretation of the law most
favorable to the taxpayer. Any misrepresentation or change in the
applicable law or the factual situation as presented in the ruling
request shall invalidate any such ruling issued. A written ruling
may be revoked or amended prospectively if (i) there is a change in

which later becomes invalid shall be deemed to have acted in good
faith during the period in which such ruling was in effect.

A RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE ENACTMENT OF
PROPOSED LEGISLATION EFFECTIVELY DIVESTING
VIRGINIA LOCALITIES OF THE RIGHT TO BE
COMPENSATED FOR THE USE OF RIGHTS OF WAY BY
TELEPHONE COMPANIES
WHEREAS, Senate Bill No. 1013 and House Bill No. 2915 are
currently under consideration by the Virginia General Assembly; and
WHEREAS, both bills provide that fees charged by a locality to
telephone and telegraph companies in connection with a franchise,
lease or right to use any public property or easement shall not
exceed the incremental, "activity-related costs" directly incurred
by such locality in administering such franchise, lease or right;
and
WHEREAS, the term "activity-related costs" is defined to
include only those costs which arise directly from (i) the issuance
of permits for placing or repairing facilities in rights-of-way,
(ii) inspections to ensure compliance with the conditions of a
permit, and (iii) coordination of the use of rights-of-way among
users; and
WHEREAS, the effect of such legislation, if enacted, would be
to divest localities of the right to be paid fair and reasonable
compensation for'the use of public property by telephone companies;
and
WHEREAS, the enactment of such legislation would abruptly
reverse centuries of historic and legal precedent based upon the
fact that public property, no less than private property, is a
valuable asset, the use of which should be subject to reasonable
compensation; and
WHEREAS, the issue of compensation for the use of public
property was extensively debated and weighed by Congress during its
consideration of the Telecommunications Act of 1996; and
WHEREAS, it was the determination of Congress in enacting the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 that the right of localities to
charge and collect compensation for the use of their rights-of-way
should be explicitly preserved; and

WHEREAS, although the telecommunications industry has
maintained that the application of free market principles is
superior to governmental regulation in the provision of telephone
service, the proposed legislation is inimical to fundamental free
market principles;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA:
That the General Assembly be, and hereby is, requested to
defeat the aforesaid legislation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA
