"""""""""".."""",,,,,,,,,.,,',,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ITEM: An Ordinance Authorizing And Directing The City Manager To Execute On Behalf Of The City Of Virginia Beach A Memorandum Of Agreement Pertaining To The Hampton Roads Regional Groundwater Mitigation Program MEETING DATE: June 6, 2006 . Background: Virginia Beach, along with other jurisdictions in Hampton Roads, has participated in a regional groundwater mitigation program since 1994. The Hampton Roads Planning District Commission (HRPDC) administers this program, which has two purposes. The first is to facilitate mitigation payments to owners whose wells have been adversely impacted by municipal pumping. Municipal groundwater permits mandate these payments. The second is to equitably distribute these costs to the various jurisdictions that are operating municipal wells simultaneously. . Considerations: Virginia Beach's regional cost share would be about 17% of the total program cost. In FY 2007, this would be approximately $17,000. Virginia Beach does not own any municipal wells and it would not be assessed any mitigation payments. However, in the unlikelv event that Norfolk was operating its municipal wells during a drought and Lake Gaston water was not available, Virginia Beach would share any mitigation payments assessed to Norfolk as provided by the water services agreement. . Public Information: This item will be advertised as part of the City Council agenda. . Alternatives: The alternative to participating in the regional groundwater mitigation program is to reject the resolution and not participate. The mitigation program would go forward, but without the City's participation.

The mission of the Task Force was to evaluate the Shore Drive Corridor and make recommendations to improve the safety of both drivers and pedestrians. The Task Force was comprised of staff members from Planning, Police, Public Works, and Parks and Recreation as well as citizen members from the Shore Drive Advisory Committee (the "SDAC") and the Shore Drive Community Coalition (the "SDCC"). The Task Force leader was Mr. Charlie Meyer, Chief Operating Officer. Council Member Jim Wood also participated in the Task Force. The Task Force was established to specifically advise City Council with respect to safety along Shore Drive and to provide short, mid and long term safety recommendations. The Task Force identified the section of Shore Drive between Independence Boulevard and the entrance to First Landing State Park as the limits of the corridor to be evaluated. Pursuant to the resolution, short term recommendations should be completed within six months, mid term within six to 18 months and long term within 18 to 36 months. Due to complexity, some recommendations may not be able to be completed within 36 months. The Task Force established three categories for the recommendations: regulatory, infrastructure and public involvement. These recommendations were developed through a series of meetings, a field trip and staff input. The process began on January 10, 2006 with a Task Force meeting in which a list of safety concerns and suggestions were generated. All ideas generated at this meeting were evaluated. The ideas and suggestions generated at the first meeting were discussed in greater detail at the subsequent meetings. At these meetings, some ideas were combined and some were determined to be beyond the purview of this Task Force. After the third meeting, staff began to evaluate the ideas and suggestions. The recommendations were then categorized by regulatory, 3 infrastructure and public involvement, as well as short term, mid term and long term. A general scope of work, schedule and cost estimate were developed for all the recommendations. All estimates are "order of magnitude" estimates based on recent cost trends. Actual costs will vary depending on when design and construction begin, changes in the construction markets, and conditions encountered during actual design. Actual improvements implemented will be contingent upon the amount of funding provided and the costs at the time of implementation. In evaluating the corridor it was determined that Shore Drive Demonstration Projects Phases I, II, and III and Lesner Bridge Replacement Project would provide improvements to about 75% of the evaluated area; Phase IV of the Demonstration Projects would increase the improvements to 90%. The limits of the demonstration projects are Phase I - Treasure Island Drive to Marlin Bay Drive, Phase II - South Oliver Drive to Treasure Island Drive, Phase III - Vista Circle to Croix Drive, and Phase IV - Marlin Bay Drive to Stratford Drive. According to cost estimates prepared for the Task Force, the funding required to fully fund Shore Drive Demonstration Projects Phases I, II, and III and to fund Phase IV through 35% design is approximately $13.8 million. Shore Drive Demonstration Project Phase I is currently funded through construction. However, a sidewalk requested for the north side of Shore Drive within the project limits of Phase I is not funded at this time. Shore Drive Demonstration Project Phase II and Phase III are currently funded through 35% design. The Lesner Bridge Replacement Project is currently funded through 35% design. Shore Drive Demonstration Project Phase IV is not funded at this time. The Task Force recommends fully funding these projects and a package of short term improvements to improve corridor safety. With or without the Shore Drive Demonstration Projects, the Task Force recommends that a separate Capital Improvement Project be established to fund the selected recommendations. The Task Force also recommends that the Planning Commission revisit land use issues along the corridor. 4 Section I - Safety Recommendations Regulatory Recommendations Short Term 1.

Public WorkslParks & Recreation!Police/MCG/SDAC/SDCC/Ongoing 15 Section III - Comprehensive Plan Comnrehensive Plan and Related Ordinances and Policies Department: Planning Scope: Revisit the adopted Comprehensive Plan, Shore Drive Corridor Plan, Article 17 of the City Zoning Ordinance, the Shore Drive Design Guidelines, and other related ordinances or adopted land use policies to address any modifications or refinements that may be necessary to more fully address pedestrian, bicycle, transit and vehicular safety issues related to Shore Drive, and enact revisions deemed appropriate following opportunities for full public interest review. Central to this evaluation will be the understanding that Shore Drive serves as the sole east-west transportation corridor in the City north of the 1-264 / Virginia Beach Boulevard corridor. As such, from a land use perspective, it needs to be considered as a multimodal corridor and not soleI y as a vehicular corridor. Increased densities of develvpJ..uent in the corridor demand that pedestrian amenities are more fully addressed in all aspects of the development process, from the rezoning and conditional use permit stage through to the development plan approval and inspection stage. The goal of improving the level of transportation services for a wide vari~ty of users - pedestrians of all types, cyclists, in-line skaters, varied recreational users, transit users, as well as vehicle operators - and the interrelationships between these various users and land uses in an area characterized as being first and foremost as a resort community and not as a resort destination is suggested. Accordingly, both public and private proposed development criteria need to be evaluated from a multimodal perspective to ensure that the needs of these varied users are addressed. Since increasing roadway capacity in the area has strict limits, given the City Council directive that Shore Drive remain a four lane facility for the foreseeable future, greater emphasis needs to be placed on reducing intra-corridor trip demand, particularly where non- vehicular transit among various uses in the corridor can be promoted and encouraged. The Planning Commission has been given the enabling authority thorough State legislation to be the key stakeholder in this review and evaluative process, and is directed to undertake this role in a manner with full public participation. The Planning Commission should consider its work in conjunction with the other recommendations contained in this report. It is envisioned that the Planning Department staff will initiate this process by working primarily with the Planning Commission liaison members of the Shore Drive Advisory Committee to solicit public input and develop draft recommendations as appropriate for refining the adopted Comprehensive Plan, Shore Drive Corridor Plan, Article 17 of the City Zoning Ordinance, the Shore Drive Design Guidelines, and other related ordinances or adopted land use policies. These recommendations will then be forwarded for review by the full Shore Drive Advisory Committee, where there will be additional opportunities for public input, and ultimately consideration by the Planning Commission and the City Council in a full public input and review manner.

Considerations: This resolution will change the composition of the board to bring it in accordance with the new state requirements. The current board will be dissolved and reconstituted with one Police representative, one representative of the towing industry, and a citizen. Current members will be eligible for appointment to the new board. .

A Resolution Referring to the Reconstituted City of Virginia Beach Towing Advisory Board (1) An Ordinance to Amend the City Code Pertaining to Towing from Private Property and (2) A Revision to the Police Department's Wrecker List Criteria MEETING DATE: June 6, 2006 . Background: State law requires City Council to seek the advice of a towing advisory board prior to adopting or amending any ordinance regulating the towing of unauthorized vehicles from private property. A change in state law authorizes the City to require, by ordinance, specific written authorization of a property owner or agent prior to a vehicle being towed without the owner's consent. State law also permits the Police Department to require tow truck service providers to accept one or more credit cards as payment for police-directed tows from public property. .

Such written authorization shall identify the vehicle to be 19 towed and shall be in addition to any written contract between the 20 tow truck service and the owner of the property or his agent. For 21 purposes of this subsection, "agent" shall not include any person 22 who either (i) is related by blood or marriage to the tow truck 23 service or operator or (ii) has a financial interest in the tow 24 truck service's business. 25 CO~NT 2 6 This amendment requires tow truck services to obtain specific written authorization of the 27 property owner or agent before towing a trespassing vehicle from the property. This written 2 8 authorization will identify the specific vehicle to be towed. This provision should curtail the practice of 29 "predatory cruising" by tow truck operators. Additionally, if the property owner's agent is related to 3 0 the tow truck service or operator or has a financial interest in the tow truck service's business, the agent 31 is not permitted to authorize towing from the property. 32 33 Sec. 21-428.

Statement of purpose: A. The Virginia Beach Police Department administers a wrecker list for the purpose oftowing vehicles for police necessity. Reasons for the requests include driver arrests, motor vehicle accident disability, traffic hazards and illegal parking on city property. B. Those wrecker services on the list have agreed to abide by the criteria as indicated on this Wrecker List Criteria. The Criteria do not include protocols for every conceivable towing problem or issue that may arise; wrecker list services are expected to use common sense and courtesy when dealing with the public, the police department and their fellow wrecker services. C. The police department intends to ailm;11ister the list in a fair manner. However, there is no guarantee that each wrecker service on the list will have any specified number of calls, nor is there a guarantee that all wrecker list services will have an equal number of calls. D. Tow truck services accepted for the Police Wrecker List will be used on wrecker requests in the areas nearest their places of business. In the event multiple wrecker companies are located in close proximity, they will be called in rotation as needed. E. Due courtesy and professionalism are required of all wrecker service's staff. F. The criteria are in the best interests of the citizens, tow truck services and the City of Virginia Beach. They are subject to change with thirty days notice to all companies on the police wrecker list. G. Adherence to these criteria does not exempt any tow truck service operator from complying with Chapter 21, Article XI, Division 3 ofthe Code of the City of Virginia Beach or any applicable state laws regulating tow truck service operations. H. A violation of these criteria or applicable laws may result in the suspension or removal of a wrecker service from the Police Wrecker List. Compliance and violations are the purview and determination of the Chief of Police or his designee. Wrecker services are to fully cooperate with any investigation conducted by the police department. II. Qualifying criteria: A. An application is to be filed by the owner or manager for a wrecker service. This applicant must have control over the business practices and policies of the wrecker company. After each two-year period on the list, wrecker services must reapply. A wrecker service applicant can voluntarily have his wrecker service removed from the list at anytime with adequate notice to the Special Operations' Administrative Officer. B. The applicant may not have a conviction for any felony or any misdemeanor assault, fraud or larceny within 10 years of the application date. C. A wrecker service must have and maintain a current City of Virginia Beach business license and have been operating in good standing for at least a year prior to application. D. A wrecker service's business office and storage facility/compound must be collocated within the boundaries of Virginia Beach. E. A wrecker service's facilities must be in compliance with all provisions of the City Zoning Ordinances applicable to tow truck operations and storage of motor vehicles. F. The wrecker service facility must have signage indicating the business name that is capable of being read from the street on which its address is indicated. G. The office area where customers are received during business hours must have signage which can reasonably be seen from the outside of the business; this signage must list the name of the business, the hours of operation, and a method of contacting the business for vehicle recovery after business hours. H. In addition to above signage requirements, a sign shall be prominently displayed (so that it can be seen by customers in the parking lot) specifying the tow and storage rates. I. The office of a wrecker must have an entrance for customers that is outside of the locked fenced storage compound, or an unencumbered method for customers to enter the fenced compound to get to the office, or a means for a customer to contact an on-site staff member to gain entry. J. The office must be a building with a working heat source. A clean toilet facility must be available for customer use. A telephone must also be made available for customer use. K. A fenced locked compound (or capable of being locked during non-business hours) is required. The fencing is to be a minimum six-foot chain link fence with barbed wire across the top; if City Zoning Ordinances do not allow for this type of fencing in the zone where the wrecker service is located, then other a.J:'.J:'~opriate security fencing is required. L. Wrecker services must have sufficient lighting to illuminate their customer parking area and the fenced compound area. III. Business operations: A. Every wrecker service must carry insurance meeting the requirements of the City's Office of Risk Management as specified in section 18-55.1 of the Code of the City of Virginia Beach. The applicant wrecker service must send a copy of their certificate of insurance to the Special Operations' Administrative Officer where it will be kept on file. Whenever the policy is renewed, the wrecker service is to send an updated copy of the insurance certificate. It is imperative that the Special Operations' Administrative Officer be informed of any changes to a company's insurance. B. All tows done under police authority shall be charged using rates not exceeding those specified under City Code 21-407 for non-consensual tows from private property, except as noted below. 2 C. Notwithstanding the tow charge authorized in IIIB of these criteria, for vehicles towed at police request from accident scenes, arrest scenes or as recovered stolen vehicles, an additional recovery charge is authorized in the following circumstances: the wrecker service has been on scene in excess of 30 minutes and the vehicle, due to its location or circumstance, requires the use of a winch for recovery. Such location or circumstance that would justify recovery costs are: the vehicle is in a ditch, down a slope, over a guard rail, in a body of water, intruding into a building or structure, abutting or adhering to a tree or similar object, within a wooded area, where the vehicle is overturned or in cases in which more than one wrecker is required for recovery. The allowable recovery charge in these circumstances is half the authorized tow rate (as stated in IIIB) per 30-minute period beyond the first 30 minutes a wrecker is on scene. In order to document this recovery time, a wrecker driver may request the on scene investigating officer (or his designee) to record the arrival and completion times on the police department tow form (PD50-6). If it is determined that a wrecker service is intentionally delaying the time for recovery or misrepresenting the recovery time, that will be grounds for removal of that wrecker service from the police wrecker Ii st. D. In circumstances in which police have requested a wrecker for which a driver is unavailable at the time of the request and an eligible driver arrives on the scene while the vehicle is being hooked up or after hook up but prior to leaving the scene, the vehicle is to be released for a drop fee in keeping with the rate not to exceed that specified in City Code 21-405. E. Wrecker service offices are to be staffed at a minimum of Monday - Friday from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. During non-business hours, a wrecker service representative must be reachable to release a towed vehicle or allow release of personal property within the vehicle to the owner/custodian (as defined in City Code 21-400) in a minimum amount of time not to exceed two hours. However, in a case in which the vehicle was towed due to the arrest of the driver, the owner/custodian may only reclaim it between 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. seven days a week, or during normal business hours (if those hours exceed the hours stated above). In no case should a vehicle be released to a driver/custodian who appears to be alcohol or drug impaired. F. Tow trucks are to respond promptly when summoned. Reasonable response times are no longer than 20 minutes for a call during business hours and 30 minutes after business hours. If a delay in response occurs, the wrecker service is to immediately notify E911 Communications. There are exceptions for responses needed in rural areas or other extenuating circumstances. However, the importance of prompt response cannot be over-.:-mphasized. When a wrecker service is called for a police requested tow, the operator is to advise the dispatcher of an E.T.A. G. In addition to cash pavment of fees. the acceptance of at least one of two commonlv used. nationallv recognized credit cards is mandated bv the Citv. Customers must be given reasonable notice of which maior credit card is acceptable as pavment. This notice is to be offered via telephone when a customer calls about retrieving a vehicle and posted on the office si2I1age. If cash 3 is offered for oavment. the wrecker service will orovide change for customers who do not have the exact fee amount due. H. Wrecker operators may not accept a call from E911 Communications and then pass the call to another company. I. Any wrecker service unable to accept calls for a period of longer than two hours shall notify E911 Communications. Likewise, the wrecker service is to advise E911 Communications when it is again available for police calls. It is not necessary to notify E911 Communications each time a wrecker service is occupied with other than a police call, unless that wrecker service is going to be tied up longer than two hours. J. Companies must provide 24-hour service for the towing of vehicles at police request. K. Vehicles towed at police request must be towed to the company's Virginia Beach location and maintained there until otherwise lawfully removed. L. Each wrecker service must produce an invoice for each police requested tow. That invoice is to reflect that the tow was made from Virginia Beach. Additionally, the customer copy of the invoice or receipt will have the following conspicuously printed on it (or on a sticker attached to it): "NOTICE: Virginia Beach City Code 21-426(f) requires the tow company to offer you a Survey and Comment Form with this receipt." The Survey and Comment Form will be made available to those retrieving vehicles towed at City request. M. For vehicles that have not been retrieved by their owners within seven days of the tow, a VSA 41 Form (Mechanics or Storage Lien Application) is to be submitted to the Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles. Should a wrecker service encounter a problem while completing this process, they may contact the below listed police employee: Ms. Janice Little Virginia Beach Police Department Support Division - Records 2509 Princess Anne Road Virginia Beach Police Department Fax # 427-4089 Desk # 427-8172 If a vehicle is not recovered within seven days, wrecker services may charge a fee, not to exceed the amount authorized for private non-consensual tows in City Code 21-407(c), for the owner or lien holder search. N. Police requests to tow trailers, including boat trailers with boats, will be handled as motor vehicles for towing purposes. However, the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries is the agency for obtaining owner registration and lien holder information on boats. Assistance in this matter can be obtained from Ms. Janice Little, as noted in HIM above. O. For cases in which a vehicle was impounded under the authority of Virginia State Code 46.2-301.1 and a court order had been issued for release of that vehicle, the wrecker service will release that vehicle to the owner/custodian. If the court order notes that the vehicle is to be released without cost to the owner, the wrecker service shall release it without charging the owner/custodian; the wrecker service may then submit paperwork to the court for reimbursement of his tow and storage 4 services as authorized by Virginia State Code 46.2-301.1B. However, ifrelease of the vehicle is ordered but the court order does not specify that the release is to be without cost to the owner, then the vehicle may be released upon payment of applicable tow and storage charges by the owner/custodian. P. For cases in which a wrecker service tows a verified stolen vehicle (as determined by the assigned investigating officer), the wrecker service will release the vehicle to the owner/victim without charge. The wrecker company may then submit paperwork for reimbursement of tow and storage services as authorized by Virginia State Code 46.2-1209. Q. In order to maintain public peace and good order, a police officer may order the release of a vehicle for city requested tows in keeping with circumstances outlined for private non-consensual tows as noted in City Code 21-406( d). IV. Wrecker requirements: A. Tow trucks must be of sufficient size and adequately equipped to handle any vehicle (up to 8,000 pounds) involved in an accident or otherwise disabled. B. Each tow truck must be equipped with a winch with a minimum pulling or hoisting power of 8,000 pounds. C. In addition to standard lighting required on motor vehicles, tow trucks must be equipped with flashing, blinking or alternating (rotating) amber lights as required by Virginia State Code 46.2-1025. D. Tow trucks are required to have either permanently mounted signs or signs painted directly on the sides in keeping with the direction of Virginia Beach City Code 21-404. Removable magnetic signs are not acceptable. Lettering must be at least two inches in height. These signs must state the name, Virginia Beach address and phone number of the wrecker company. E. Tow truck operators are responsible for the clean up and removal of debris from an accident scene before departing as required by section 18.2-324 of the Code of Virginia. Therefore, wreckers are to be equipped with a broom, shovel, debris container, and a minimum of five gallons of a fluid absorbing substance; this five gallons is the minimum that is to be carried on board; however, if more is needed, wrecker operators are to have quick access to more. If two or more wrecker operators are summoned to police scenes, they are equally responsible and cooperation is expected for clean up. Debris from clean up is not to be deposited into a vehicle towed from the scene. F. Wrecker operators are not to remove a vehicle from an accident or arrest scene until directed to do so by the investigating officer or his designee. Officers should stand by the scene of a tow until the tow truck operator has completed any necessary clean up and is ready to depart the scene with the vehicle. G. All wreckers to be used on police requested tows will be inspected by the Police Department Special Operations' Administrative Officer. Any and all deletions, additions and replacements of wreckers must be reported immediately to the Police Department's Special Operations' Administrative Officer so inspection can be performed. 5 H. Wrecker operators must possess a valid operator's license. Operators of wreckers in excess of26,000 pounds must also possess a Class "A" commercial operator's license and current medical examiner's card. All wrecker drivers must be sober, reliable and responsible in the operation oftheir equipment. V. Special Considerations for Resort Area Towing: A. Those wrecker companies on the Police Wrecker List located in close proximity to the Oceanfront may be considered for use in towing police requests for RPP violations, city parking deck/lot violations, and other city parking violations. Those wrecker services used for this purpose will be at the discretion of the Chief of Police or his designee. B. Those wrecker companies selected to assist the City by towing for these violations must also staff their offices between 7:00 P.M. and 4 A.M., seven days a week from Friday of Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. C. When a wrecker has been requested to tow a vehicle using the RPP sticker system, the wrecker service shall report the tow information regarding that vehicle to E911 Communications within 30 minutes ofthe tow. If a vehicle is gone upon arrival of the requested wrecker service, that wrecker service shall report that fact to E911 Communications within 30 minutes of that discovery. D. Response to police requests for RPP towing will be as soon as practical. However, other (accident, arrest and traffic hazard) police calls are to take priority. Approved: A. M.

Background: Non-profit organizations frequently rely on public libraries to provide information on available grants. The Foundation Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening the nonprofit sector by advancing knowledge about philanthropy.The largest local source of grant information is the Hampton Public Library, which as a Cooperating Library of the Foundation Center receives many materials free of charge. The Virginia Beach Public Library has applied twice to be a Cooperating Library, but it has not been accepted because the City's facilities are within fifty miles of Hampton's. In order to make grant information available in the South Hampton Roads area, in December 2002, the Virginia Beach Public Library received a regional grant of $9,180 from The Norfolk Foundation. This grant enabled the City to provide access to two on-line grant databases that provide up-to-date, easily accessible information on available grants and grant-making organizations. These two databases, "Grant Select" and "Foundation Directory Online," have been available since December 2002 to customers of the Virginia Beach Public Library. During FY 2003-04, the Norfolk Foundation renewed this grant for three years to enable the Virginia Beach Public Library to continue providing this service. . Considerations: On April 27, 2004, City Council accepted the three-year grant from the Norfolk Foundation and appropriated $9,180 as the first of three annual awards. City Council appropriated the second year funding of $9,180 on February 22, 2005. The amount funded for the third year, $7,441, is less than the previous two years because one of the two databases, GrantSelect, will be discontinued as of February 28, 2007. The cost of this database has been pro-rated for the period of availability. No matching funds are required by the City. . Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal City Council agenda process. . Recommendations: It is recommended that the $7,441 grant be appropriated. . Attachments: Ordinance and Grant agreement Recommended Action: Approval of ordinance Submitting Depa,&nLgency: Virginia Beach Department of Public Libraries ~ City Manage~ v ~ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 AN ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE $7,441 FROM THE NORFOLK FOUNDATION TO THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT'S FY 2005-06 OPERATING BUDGET TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO ONLINE DATABASES WHEREAS, during FY 2003-04 City Council accepted a three- 8 year grant from the Norfolk Foundation to provide access to 9 online databases, and City Council has appropriated the first 10 two years of the grant. 11 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY 12 OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: 13 1. That $7,441 from the Norfolk Foundation is hereby 14 appropriated to the Library Department's FY 2005-06 Operating 15 Budget to'provide access to online databases. 16 2. That revenue from donations is hereby increased in the 17 FY 2005-06 Operating Budget by $7,441. 18 Adopted by the Council of the City of Virginia Beach, 19 Virginia, on the day of , 2006.
