ITEM # 36433 Ralph Smith, Director of Public Works, advised the permanent natural feature which contributes to the quality of life, to the economic vitality and to the City s reputation as an outstanding tourist destination is the clean SIlnd beaches. Properly maintained, these beaches serve to protect the citizens of the City s coastal regions from the destructions of storms along the coast. Tourists spend $500-MILLION a year in the City of Vzrginia Beach. The Beach MalUlgement Task Force was appointed July 1991 by the City Manager to investigate the management of beaches and to ascertain if the process could be improved, it would be improved. A Comprehensive Beach MalUlgement Plan has been developed and is hereby made a part of the record. TASK FORCE OBJECTIVES: COMPREHENSIVE BEACH MANAGEMENT PLAN DEDICATED FUNDING SOURCE FOR PLAN IMPLEMENTATION MANAGEMENT ISSUES Beach Project Needs Accessibility Acquisition Economic Impacts CoosttJ Hazard Mitigation Sand Sources Institutional Alte17Ultives FilUlncÜlI Alte17Ultives There are ten miles of coastal beaches along the southern shore of the Chesapeake Bay and twenty-eight miles of ocean beach from Fort Story down to the North Carolina border. Seventeen miles of the beaches are public accessible. Fourteen miles of these public beaches are eroding. Mr. Smith identified the beaches: CheSllpeøke Beach Bay Lake Ocean Park Cape Henry Seashore Stote Park Fort Story North End Beach Resort Beach Croatan Camp Pendleton Ddn Neck, U.S. Navy Sandbrúlge Little Island Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge False Cape Stote Park Mr. Smith advised the 1989 VtrginÜl Outdoor Plan and the Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan clearly indicated severe overcrowding at the Resort Beach and Little Island Park while under utilizing the other beaches. The beaches must be advertised extensively with environmentally sensitive access landscaped controlling where citizens can walk over the dune systems. January 26, 1993 -3- C I T Y MAN AGE R 's B R I E FIN G CITYWIDE SAND REPLENISHMENT PROGRAM ITEM # 36433 (Continued) Parking problems must be addressed. At times, there is conflict between the use of the beaches for other than sunbathing and swimming, particularly in the area of surfing, craft launching and fIShing. Beach use facilities: Restrooms, Showers, Changing Areas and Safety Services, are necessary. The recommendations of the Task Force as they develop indicates the City needs to upgrade existing facilities at Little Island Park (currently a CIP Project), Camp Pendleton (parking and portable toilets only are available) and Fort Story (same situation as Camp Pendleton). Mr. Smith cited the four recommended locations for new Beach Use Facilities: Croatan, North End, Cape Henry Beach and Ocean Park. Concerning Beach Access Improvements, the Task Force has identified $5,993,577 worth of FaciUty requirements and $5,300,000 of right-of-way acquisition. However, there is less than $900,000 in the CøpittJI Improvement Program toward this $11-MILLION total project cost. Concerning Beach Acquisition, Mr. Smith cited the chart depicting Beach Ownership Inventory.

Oberndorf, Mayor Members of City Council Municipal Center Virginia Beach, Virginia 23456 Re: Marine Spill Response Corporation Dear Mayor Oberndorf & Members of Council: I am attaching the application of Marine Spill Response Corporation (MSRC) for legislation supporting its designation of tax exemption from real and personal taxation. Directing your attention to item #4, that item has been left blank because there is no equipment presently in Virginia Beach. However, MSRC has submitted information to the Commissioner of the Revenue listing the equipment and vessels expected to be located in the City of Virginia Beach in order that an estimate of potential impact could be compiled. The Commissioner of the Revenue estimates that the tax on the personal property of the Marine Spill Response Corporation should be no more than $49,981.00 for equipment and $236,925.00 for its response vessel and other boats in the first year. MSRC does not plan to own real estate in Virginia Beach. Please call me if I can be of further assistance. Very truly yours, cf~õZ~ Leslie L. Lilley / ~ City Attorney LLL/ sbk Attachment . APPLI CAT!

ATTACHMENT I As set forth in its charter, a copy of which is attached, MSRC is organized exclusively to provide a best-effort response to the clean-up of major oil spills in u.s. coastal and tidal waters that are beyond the capacity of local response capabilities. Each of MSRC's five regional response centers (and its associated prepositioned equipment sites within the region) will have a variety of resources: response vessels, various types of booms and skimmers, highly trained personnel, information systems, etc. MERC is being designed primarily to deal with major spills but will respond to certain smaller spills when they are beyond the capability of the local spill response infrastructure. MSRC is designed to complement the existing oil- spill cooperatives and subcontractors throughout the nation. MSRC administers a research and development program to improve the knowledge and technology used to respond to and clean up oil spills. This program complements other programs in government, academia and industry. Because even the best existing containment and cleanup technology is inadequate to the tasks, MSRC's research program will be a key element in attempting to improve future response to oil spills. MSRC studies will include those on preventing loss of oil from ships, on-water oil recovery and treatment, preventing and mitigating shoreline impacts, effects of spilled crude oil and products, mitigating impact on wildlife, and health and safety. In connection with its work, MERC is developing a computer assisted spill management system designed to improve the way major spills are fought in the future. The system is being designed to better organize and make quickly available the huge amounts of information decision makers must have. Such system elements as Spill Tracking, Resources at Risk and Logistics Management describe some of the kinds of information that will be available to facilitate decision making at the scene of a spill. shfOO26 . . , ., f. -..' . . . . i , ! . \ , & '- ~~.,; 0 . .1. 1 ~ ..; ..;. . :.

Internal Revenue Code: Employer Identification Number: Key District: Accounting Period Ending: Form 990 Required: SOlCc) (4) 62-1437621 Atlanta December 31 Yes Dear Applicant: Based on information supplied, and assuming your operations will be as stated in your application for recognition of exemption, we have determined you are exempt from federal income tax under section S01(a) of the Internal Revenue Code as an organization described in the section indicated above. Unless specifically excepted, you are liable for taxes under the Federal Insurance contributions Act (social security taxes) for each employee to whom you pay $100 or more during the calendar year. And, unless excepted, you are also liable for tax under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act for each employee to whom you pay $50 or more during a calendar quarter if, during the current or preceding calendar year, you had one or more employees at any time in each of 20 calendar weeks or you paid wages of $1,500 or more in any calendar quarter. If you have any questions about excise, employment, or other federal taxes, please contact your key District Director. If your sources of support, or your purposes, character, or method of operation change, please let your key district know so that office can consider the effect of the change on your exempt status. In the case of an amended document or bylaws, please send a copy of the amended document or bylaws to your key district. Also, you should inform your key District Director of all changes in your name or address. In the heading of this letter we have indicated whether you must file Form 990, Return of organization Exempt from Income Tax. If Yes is indicated, you are required to file Form 990 only if your gross receipts each year are normally more than $25,000. If your gross receipts each year are not normally more than $25,000, we ask that you establish that you are not required to file Form 990 by completing Part I of that Form for your first . ~ ¡II -2- Marlne Splll Response Corporation year. Thereafter, you will not be required to file a return until your gross receipts exceed the $25,000 minimum. For guidance in determining if your gross receipts are "normally" not more than the $25,000 limlt, see the instructions for the Form 990. If a return is required, it must be filed by the 15th day of the fifth month after the end of your annual accounting period. A penalty of $10 a day is charged when a return is filed late, unless there is reasonable cause for the delay. The maximum penalty charged cannot exceed $5,000 or 5 percent of your gross receipts for the year, whichever is less. This penalty may also be charged if a return is not complete, so please be sure your return is complete before you f~le it. You are required to make your annual return available for public inspection for three years after the return is due. You are also required to make available a copy of your exemption application, and supporting documents, and this exemption letter. Fallure to make these documents available for public inspect~on may subject you to a penalty of $10 per day for each day there is a failure to comply (up to a maximum of $5,000 in the case of an annual return). See Internal Revenue Service Notice 88-120, 1988-2 C.B. 454, for additional information. You are not required to file federal income tax returns unless you are subject to the tax on unrelated business income under section 511 of the Code. If you are subject to this tax, you must file an income tax return on Form 990-T, Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return. In this letter we are not determining whether any of your present or proposed activ- ities are unrelated trade or business as defined in section 513 of the Code. Contributions to your organization are not deductible by donors under section 170(c) (2) of the Code. Under section 6113, any fund-raising solicitation (including a solicitation for membership dues payment) you make must include an express statement (in a conspicuous and easily recognizable format) that contributions and gifts are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes. This does not apply, however, if your annual gross receipts are normally $100,000 or less, or if your solicitations are ~ade to no more than ten persons during a calendar year. The law provides penalties for failure to comply with this requirement, unless the failure is due to reasonable cause. See Internal Revenue Service Notice 88-120, 1988-2 C.B. 454, for additional information. You need an employer identification number even if you have no employees. Please use that number on all returns you file and ln all correspondence with the Internal Revenue Service. , .

Marine Spill Response Corporation ("MSRC") was incorporatcd in Tennessee on July 30, 1990, and began operations in September 1990. MSRC is an independent not-for-profit corporation whose purpose is to promote the welfare of the public by miágaung env1I'onmental damaee to the co~stal and cC:Itain upstream waters of the United States through the containment and cleanup of causU'ophIc 011 spl11s. In accordance with ItS mission. MSRC will also be conducnng an extensive research and developI:lent program to improve oil spill response technology. MSRC was created to cstJ.blish a nationwide capability to respond to cataStrophic oil spills. In a related development, the comprehensive Oil Pollution ACt of 1990 requires O~11eI'S and operators of vessels carrying oil as CíL:'go and facllnies storing or transpomng 011 to show that rhty ca.&, to the maximum extent pracricable, respond to the worst-case oil spill that they might causc. It is anticipated that MSRC will enter into standing conuactS with clientS who are memDers of the ~~arine Preservation Association (discussf'.d below) and who desire to rely on MSRC rat~er than maIntain theIr own cleanup capability for catastrophic spills. U:lder the act, response plans citing such capability are required by February 1993. Funding for MSRC is principally provided by the Marine Preservation Association ("l~AII). MPA i~ a nor-for-profit organIzation Including oil companies, ship owners, ar,d other receivers or transponers of oil who have no control over MSRC' 5 opentior.s. In order for !dSRC to meet the obligations which wl11 be necessary to Ïulfill its mission, ~ISRC is dependent upon the conùnu:ition of funds pro\'id~d by MPA. In 1991, MSRC and MPA entered into a Grant Agreement whereby ~1PA will contnbutc funds to MSRC on a periodic basis at ~1PA's discretion. Funding from these grar.ts are to supPl'n MSRC's capicü and cpernring costs and must be usoo by MSRC to Can)' out its mission :ts stated in MSRC's charter and bylaws and in accordance with the pmposes included in MSRC's request for funds.

(d) None. ATTACHMENT VIII The City Council of the City of Virginia Beach should recommend to the General Assembly of Virginia that the Marine Spill Response Corporation (MERC) be exempt from property taxes in the City of Virginia Beach for the following reasons: As explained in Attachment I to this application, MERC is a private, not-for-profit and federally tax exempt organization which will provide a best effort response to major oil spills in certain u.S. coastal and tidal waters when it is fully operational. Currently there is no organization in the world which has the equipment, resources and expertise which MERC will be able to provide when fully operational. MERC has selected Virginia as one of the 16 pre-position sites which will berth a new 210 foot oil spill response vessel designed especially for oil spill cleanup, as well as an approximately 40,000 bbl recovered oil barge and various other oil spill response equipment. The cost of the equipment currently planned for Virginia is approximately $17 million. In addition, a crew of approximately 20 is expected to be hired for vessel and response operations at the Virginia pre-position site. The financial resources available to MERC for its Virginia pre-position site are fixed. A property tax exemption would greatly benefit MERC due to its limited resources. Property taxes are not a factor in other Virginia sites under consideration. Such an exemption would be an economic incentive for MERC to choose Virginia Beach as the site for the Virginia Responder, the oil spill response vessel. MERC's selection of Virginia Beach would also benefit the community as well in that the funds available to the Virginia pre-position site would be used to further oil spill response readiness and would help stimulate the local economy through salaries and other operating expenses. The existence of MERC in Virginia Beach would not only benefit the community in a tangible way but would also bring intangible benefits to the City. The national and regional attention which MERC will receive will bring attention to Virginia Beach as one of the pre-position sites. The existence of MERC in Virginia Beach will reinforce the City's commitment to leadership in environmental matters. The Virginia Responder will also provide a highly visible indication of the City's commitment to maintaining a clean environment both when the vessel is berthed in the City as well as when it travels beyond the City. shfOO27
