Thalia Creek adjoins much of the designated Virginia Beach Central Business District (CBD). The initial concept for a Greenway along Thalia Creek was identified in the 1991 Central Business District Master Plan completed by EDWA. The Plan established the framework necessary for the development of the area as a center of economic, social, cultural, residential, recreational and public activity. In recent years the Central Business District has experienced explosive growth and development. Its growing popularity for both commercial, as well as residential uses, is bringing the need for the development of a coordinated system of trails and open spaces to the forefront. 1973 - Central Business District Zoning Classification established 1987 - Central Business District Association (CBDA) officially incorporated 1991- Town Center Master Plan developedfor the Environmental ParklGreenspace area around Town Center. 2002 - Conceptual Greenway Plan developed by the City of Virginia Beach Parks and Recreation.

The Greenway network is made up of two (2) components, primary Greenway corridor with a more natural trail section and secondary urban trail components. The primary greenway corridor lies along the creek corridor and forms the major spine of the network. The secondary urban trail components are utilized to link surrounding land uses into the primary Greenway corridor and to bring some of its qualities out into the surrounding urban context. Site Context Located in the northern portion of the City of Virginia Beach Tributary to the Western Branch of the Lynnhaven River Sixty-five percent (65%) of this City's residents live within a five (5-) mile radius.

This was City's "Day of Caring" and many employees become "Volunteers". September 25, 2007 - 8 - CITY COUNCIL COMENTS ITEM # 56849 Councilman DeSteph referenced Flow Control. A Briefing will be provided by City Staff during the next two months. The staff did a tremendous job compiling the true impact. This is really a transfer of costs to businesses, restaurants, schools, retirement homes, condominiums and apartment dwellers. Based on figures from the Southeastern Public Service Authority (SPSA)the cost was $164-MILLION over 11 years, or $14.9-MILLION a year. Another estimate was $47-MILLION a year transfer of cost from the Southeastern Public Service Authority (SPSA) to the private haulers, which will in effect raise the fees of renters, condos, school buildings. There are four (4) private haulers in the City. Basically, the fee will increase approximately $28.00 a ton to $108.48 a ton (just about four (4) times the cost of hauling by SPSA). ITEM # 56850 Councilman DeSteph advised he is still in the process of compiling information for an Ordinance re a Media and Communications individual who would report directly to City Council.

ITEM # 56852 J.1. Resolution re the proposed issuance of Tax-Exempt Revenue Bonds by the Southeastern Public Service Authority Of Virginia (SPSA) in the maximum amount of $31,500,000 tofinance or refinance currentfacilities. The Southeastern Public Service Authority of Virginia (SPSA) is planning certain capital improvements, some of which are located in the City of Virginia Beach SPSA intends to finance a portion of the capital costs in the amount of $31,500,000, with the issuance of its Revenue Bonds. State law requires that SPSA receive approval for the financing from each of the governing bodies which are members in the localities in which the improvements to be financed are located Councilman DeSteph recommended against the approval of this Resolution as basically the City, as a member community, would be actually concurring or backing this debt. Councilman DeSteph advised he is an Alternate Member of the SPSA Board; therefore, his vote does not count during their deliberations. The tax exempt bonds are tied to ajloating rate, so they will not be a steadfast 5.6%. Councilman Wood inquired re the expiration of the debt. David Hansen, Chief of Finance and Technology, referenced correspondence of August 27, 2007 from John S. Hadfield - Executive Director - Southeastern Public Service Authority to the City Manager. "SPSA intends to extend the term of that borrowing up to four (4) additional years in compliance with its financial polices. " Since the $21-MILLION loan occurred in 2006 for three (3) years, four (4) additional years of debt will be incurred which will extend the date to 2013. Mr. Hansen referenced the Memorandum from Bond Counsel to the Southeastern Public Service Authority, dated August 22, 2007, which is hereby made a part of the record These bonds are restructured with Wachovia Bank. Virginia Beach's membership with SPSA expires in 2018. The City Manager advised the reason for the Approval Recommendation is in order to issue tax exempt debt, SPSA must have concurrence of their member communities. SPSA indicates a savings of $720,000 in this effort for SPSA to realize lower costs. Councilman Wood quoted a section from Mr. Hadfield's correspondence: "Absent your governing body's approval, SPSA will be forced to issue taxable debt for the improvements to be located in your community." Councilman Wood concurred with Councilman DeSteph. Council Lady Wilson inquired if the City Council could approve the issuance by the Authority of the Tax- Exempt Bonds in the amount of the existing $2J.3-MILLION This item shall be discussed during the Formal Session. The City Manager shall have a representative from SPSA present during the Formal Session to respond to City Council questions. September 25, 2007 - 10 - AGENDA RE VIE W SESSION ITEM # 56853 J.3. Ordinance to ESTABLISH the retirement allowance for sworn law-enforcement officers, deputy sheriffs, full-time salaried fire fighters and full-time salaried emergency medical technicians (EMT) at 1.85 percent of their average final compensation and DIRECT the City Manager to identify a funding source no later than October 2, 2007 Councilman Uhrin suggested the City Council consider paying the increase for the first fiscal year, beginning July 2008; and, beginning in FY 2009, the salary related to the Public Safety positions will be reduced to fully offset the annual incremental cost of the increased retirement benefit. The retirement allowance shall be established at 1.85 percent re Public Safety effective January 1,2008, thefundingfor the 6-month gap, shall be derived from the General Fund regular reserve account, leaving a balance of about $160,000. These funds should be replenished within the next budget cycle. An addendum to the Ordinance reflecting the funding should be prepared for City Council's consideration. Councilman Uhrin is not in support of converting one current City paid Holiday to be designated as a personal flexible Holiday for the Public Safety employees. The Holiday overtime does assist in terms of morale, retention or recruitment. Councilman Wood referenced the funding of the seven (7) vacant positions indicated as being vacant for two (2) years should also be transferred to Public Safety and be included within this funding Ordinance. Council Lady Henley concurred with Councilman Uhrin re the Holiday change. This would not enhance recruitment. Eliminating the seven (7) vacant positions and reducing travel and training budgets are good suggestions, which might be considered infilling the funding gap of$ll-MILLION. The City Manger also referenced the Sheriff's suggestion that effective April 2008, the City should terminate the lease agreement on the Sheriff's Minimum Security Worliforce building and reduce lease payments in Management Services by $248,000. The City Manager advised the Market Survey was not implemented this year. Councilman Diezel advised the City Council's policy of "having the best paid employees in the Region" is a verbal tradition which has existed since the 1970 's. Councilman Dyer referenced correspondence from Chairman Linwood 0. Branch - Blue Ribbon Tax, Fee and Spending Task Force respectfully recommending the City Council delay any decision to increase the retirement multiplier for Public Safety employees until the Blue Ribbon Task Force has presented its report. Said correspondence is hereby made a part of the record Council Lady Wilson advised the intent is not to reduce the salaries. An Ordinance relative the funding sources shall be prepared and ready for the Formal Session.

September 25, 2007 - 23 - Item V-J.1. RESOLUTION/ORDINANCES ITEM #56864 Walter Hunter, Chief Financial Officer - Southeastern Public Service Authority (SPSA), responded to City Council concerns: $21-MlLLION, which was utilized tofund capital expenditures is being refinanced from a year ago. The City of Chesapeake filed a law suit against SPSA, which essentially cut off many of the avenues of traditional borrowing. Since the bulk of the law suit with Chesapeake has been resolved, SPSA is going back now to refinance this debt to a more appropriate term. The term, typically, under SPSA 'sfinancial policies is to finance fixed assets over 75% of their useful life. Any debt is paid off at approximately three- fourths of the life of the existing asset. The Municipal tipping fee for SPSA varies for the different members. Suffolk has no tippingfee as they host the regional landfill. The City of Virginia Beach, because of a separate agreement, has a cap on the tipping fee. This tipping fee is now at the cap and cannot be increased. The other member communities have voluntarily increased their fee per ton to $100. This $100 tippingfee is projected to not only pay off all of the existing debts that are outstanding, but also to start substantially funding many of the Capital Expenditures on a cash basis. Over the past five (5) years, the debt has been relatively stable, approximately $250-MlLLION With the new policies in place and cash funding of a significant portion of the Capital, this outstanding debt balance will begin to decline. Along with the $10-MlLLION being borrowed, there is also another $6- MILLION being paid in cash for Capital additions necessary. Final payment on all existing outstanding debt will be 2017. The debt pertaining to the Resolution will be paid 2014. Acquiring an asset that will have a life over multiple years is not unusual. Virginia Beach's tippingfee cap exists until 2015 and in the contractual arrangement with SPSA will continue three (3) years after. Then, Virginia Beach's tippingfee will be at the discretion ofSPSA's Board. Of the $31-MlLLION, the tax exempt portion is only $25-MILLION A MOTION was made by Councilman DeSteph, seconded by Council Lady McClanan to DENY the Resolution re the proposed issuance of Tax-Exempt Revenue Bonds by the Southeastern Public Service Authority Of Virginia (SPSA) in the maximum amount of $31,500,000 to finance or refinance current facilities. Councilman DeSteph MODIFED his motion, seconded by Council Lady McClanan to refinance only $21-MILLIONfrom last year's debt. Upon SUBSTITUTE MOTION by Vice Mayor Jones, seconded by Council Lady Wilson, City ADOPTED, AS MODIFIED: Resolution re the proposed issuance of Tax-Exempt Revenue Bonds by the Southeastern Public Service Authority Of Virginia (SPSA) in the maximum amount of $31,500,000 $25,000,000 tofinance or refinance current facilities September 25, 2007 - 24- Item V-J.1.

Spore City Manager City of Virginia Beach . Municipal Center Virginia Beach, V A 23456-9099 Dear Mr. Spore: As you know, SPSA has taken significant steps in restructuring this year. It is now on course to achieve the Board's financial goals' within the next few years according to plan. Among those goals is to fully fund its annual capital budget with cash. This year (FY2008), SPSA will fund nearly 40% of its capital budget with cash. The remainder (approximately $10,000,000) will be funded with debt financing from Wachovia Bank. In addition, SPSA intends to re-fmance its FY2007 Capital Budget, also with Wachovia Ban1e Last year SPSA fully funded its capital budget with debt for a 3-year term at a cost greater than is now available. SPSA now intends to extend the term of that borrowing up to four additional years in compliance with its financial policies. Applicable Federal tax regulations and Virginia law require that a public hearing be held; SPSA will hold a public hearing. The law also requires approval by the governing body of each local governmental unit where any of the facilities financed with the proceeds of the bonds approved are to be constructed. Appended is a draft form of the resolution for your .City Council, along with a fiscal impact sfatement and a memprandum from SPSA's bond counsel explaining the TEFRA process. I would appreciate action on this resolution by September 25, 2007. The SPSA Board of Directors will meet on September 26, 2007 to approve the financing plan for this year. Absent your governing body's approval, SPSA will be forced to issue taxable debt for the improvements to be located in your community. SPSA will provide you, for consideration by your City Council, with a summary of any comments received in connection with the public hearing to be held on September 7, 2007. If you have any questions, please contact me. Attachment cc: Mr. Michael J. Barrett Mr. William DeSteph . BOARD OF DIRECTORS ~ Bryan L. Collins ~ Charles A. Wrenn VICE-aJAIRMAN ~Qf_WlY..1IT James B.

SIDi:EYI MEMORANDUM C: FROM: DATE: City of Chesapeake City of Norfolk City of Portsmouth City of Suffolk City of Virginia Beach Isle of Wight County Southampton County City of Franklin Frank Robinson TO: August 22, 2007 As bond counsel to the Southeastern Public Service Authority of Virginia, I am providing the following background for SPSA's request that each of the seven addressees, where portions of certain capital improvements to SPSA's Disposal System are located, grant the "host approval" required by federal and state law. The particular capital improvements in SPSA's approved capital budget for its FYE2007 and FY2008, located or to be located in your communities and included as part of SPSA's "Disposal System" are described in Exhibit A to the suggested form of proceedings provided to you. Capital improvements to SPSA' s Power Plant cannot be financed with tax-exempt debt (because it does not meet the definition of a "solid waste facilityl" or a functionally related and subordinate annex thereto). Virginia law [Va. Code 915.2-4906 and -4907] also requires that SPSA provide you, at the same time you consider adoption of the proposed resolution, with an "impact" statement and an extract of the testimony from the public hearing SPSA is scheduled to hold on September 6. The Virginia statute and the Treasury regulations relating to the so-called TEFRA2 process were designed primarily to assure that issuers, without elected officials (such as industrial development authorities), of small issue industrial development bonds not authorize such bonds before receiving input from a public hearing and approval of the elected officials in the communities where the facilities were to be located (host approval). Because SPSA receives significant revenue pursuant to more than one-year contracts with private entities such as Virginia Power, SPSA's bonds are private activity bonds subject to the TEFRA process if the interest thereon is to be tax-exempt. 1 Sections 141(e)(l) and 142(a)(6), Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 2 The acronym for the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1984 that first imposed the public hearing and host approval requirements on what were then "industrial development bonds" and are now called "private activity bonds." See IRC section l47(f)(2) and the regulations thereunder. SIDELEYI As you consider adoption of the suggested resolution, please understand that the consequence of your approval of the requested resolution is that SPSA may finance the Disposal improvements in your community on a tax-exempt basis. Your failure to approve will cause SPSA to include such improvements with its Power Plant improvements in the taxable borrowing that is not subject to the TEFRA process. For purposes of illustration, using yesterday's rates, SPSA was advised by the proposed underwriter of its tax-exempt and taxable bonds that the weekly reset floating rate on its tax- exempt bonds (subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT)) would have been 3.78% and the rate on its taxable bonds would have been 5.60% or 182 basis points, over 1 %%, more than the rate on its tax-exempt AMT bonds. If, hypothetically, one community that is host to capital improvements that cost $500,000 declined to provide approval, and the cost was to be financed and amortized with a four-year average life, SPSA, and the applicable localities through their tipping fees, would pay an additional $36,400 in interest on the taxable bonds. For $10,000,000 in improvements, the additional interest expense would be $720,800. The proceedings that SPSA is providing to you are closely modeled on those you approved in the Fall of 2005, when each of you gave host approval for all of SPSA's facilities in your community and thereby enabled SPSA to maintain the tax-exemption on its then outstanding bonds through the "deemed reissuance" thereof in March 2006. SPSA will greatly appreciate your adopting the suggested resolution prior to September 25, 2007. The SPSA Board expects to consider a resolution on September 26, 2007 that will authorize (A) taxable bonds for the Power Plant improvements and any improvements to the Disposal System for which host approval is not timely received and (B) tax-exempt AMT bonds for the improvements to the Disposal System for which host approval is timely received. A portion of the proceeds of SPSA's 2007 bond issues will be applied to redeem, exactly two year's prior to its stated maturity, SPSA's $21,320,000 taxable note issued to Wachovia Bank, National Association, last October. This taxable note bears interest at one-month LIBOR3 plus 120 basis points (6.70% at yesterday's rates). If you have any questions respecting SPSA's proposed financing, please feel free to contact Walt Hunter, the CFO of SPSA. If your attorneys have any questions respecting the suggested form of your resolution, please ask them to call me at 212-838-5323. 3 London Interbank Offered Rate 2 NY] 6312025v.2 flSCALIMPACTSTATEMENT August 24, 2007 Applicant: Southeastern Public Service Authority 1.

MEETING DATE: September 25, 2007 . Background: The City Council adopted a program on December 20,2005 to acquire property in the Inter-Facility Traffic Area (the "ITA"), the area between NAS Oceana Master Jet Base and Naval Auxiliary Landing Field Fentress. The ITA Acquisition Program was funded with $3.7 million, and the City has acquired property totaling approximately $3.5 million. There are additional willing sellers in the ITA, but there are no longer sufficient funds to purchase additional properties. The Navy has applied for and received authorization for Encroachment Partnering Funds from the Department of the Navy in order to support the City's efforts to acquire additional land in the ITA. If Council authorizes this Multi-Year Agreement, then the Navy will make available A} $3 million in funding; and B) the federally owned Marshview land near Owl's Creek for an exchange, toward the purchase of restrictive easements from the City on land the City has acquired in the ITA. The terms of the Multi-Year Agreement are set forth in the Summary of Terms attached hereto, but in general provide that after the City acquires land in the ITA, then it may sell a restrictive easement to the Navy for the amount of either 50% of the City's cost to purchase the land in fee or the value of the easement as appraised, whichever is less. The funds received from the sale of restrictive easements may be used to fund additional acquisitions in the ITA. The ordinance will also authorize the City Manager to execute documents conveying restrictive easements to the Navy land the City acquires in the ITA in accordance with the terms of the MY A. . Considerations: In May 2005, the Cities of Virginia Beach, Chesapeake and Norfolk adopted the Hampton Roads Joint Land Use Study (JLUS), which recommended the cities take certain steps to limit encroachment to protect the public and the mission of NAS Oceana and Fentress. The City Council voted on February 13, 2007 to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with the NAS Oceana, which goes beyond JLUS and further strengthens the cooperation between the City and the Navy. The ITA is an area that is largely undeveloped and presents the best opportunity to prevent future incompatible development. . Alternatives: Do not enter into the Multi-Year Agreement. . Recommendations: Authorize the City Manager to enter into the Multi-Year Agreement with the Navy and authorize the conveyance of restrictive easements to the Navy in accordance with the Multi-Year Agreement. .
