Sessoms, Jr., called to order the CITY COUNCIL'S BRIEFING re the MAYOR'S ALTERNATIVE ENERGY REPORT in the City Council Conference Room, Tuesday, January 11, 2011, at 2:30P.M. Council Members Present: Rita Sweet Bellitto, Glenn R. Davis, William R. "Bill " DeSteph, Harry E. Diezel, Robert M. Dyer, Barbara M. Henley, Vice Mayor Louis R. Jones, Mayor William D. Sessoms, Jr., John E. Uhrin, Rosemary Wilson and James L. Wood Council Members Absent: None January I1, 2011 -2- CITY COUNCIL `S BRIEFING MAYOR'S ALTERNATIVE ENERGY REPORT ITEM # 60552 2:30 P.M. The City Manager introduced Attorney Stephen R. Romine -LeClair Ryan. Mr. Romine expressed appreciation for the opportunity to speak relative the Old Dominion Electric Cooperative's proposed power plant in Dendron and Sussex County, commonly referred to as the Cypress Creek Power Station. Mr. Romine referenced the Mayor's Alternative Energy Report and concerns on Pages 6 and 28, essentially stating that the Power Plant is proposed by Old Dominion Electric Cooperative in Dendron, which is in Surry County and dual permitted in Sussex, will have an adverse human health, economic, environmental impact on Hampton Roads, perhaps even including the City of Virginia Beach. The Report basically states the City Council provides leadership for the region in developing a position in opposition to the Plant. A correct Federal Energy Policy is important. Facts and information must be gathered. Old Dominion Electric Cooperative (ODEC) is a Billion Dollar company with over 1-Million customers. If ODEC does not take a responsible position on the power supply side of the equation, brownouts and blackouts will be suffered in the very near future. Energy must be affordable and reliable. "Cypress Creek will be astate-of--the-art plant, both in efficiency and pollution controls ". $1.2-Billion of pollution controls are built into the design of a $5-Billion plant. Pollution controls on this particular plant will exceed the full cost of the last power plant that was built in Virginia sixteen (15) years ago. Cypress Creek will not be built without the issuance of at least fifty (SO) permits that will control safety and environmental impacts. Mr. Romine introduced David Hudgins, Director -Member and External Relations, Old Dominion Electric Cooperative (ODEC). Mr. Hudgins presented a map reflecting the ODEC Service Territory. DEMAND For Energy Is Increasing What is Baseload Energy? Renewables are part of the answer but are not Baseload Energy. Dominion Virginia Power projects need over 4, 000 Megawatts of Baseload Energy within ten (10) years. Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy forecasts over 7, 000 Megawatts needed in Virginia by 2020. *The forecast is 10-Million in Virginia by 20l S.

Gross Domestic Product Increased 126 Percent 2. Vehicle miles traveled increased 91 Percent 3. Energy consumption increased 29 Percent 4. United Slates population grew by 34 Percent During the same time period: Total emissions of the six principal air pollutants dropped 54 Percent Mr. Hudgins displayed re Air Trends, a graphic concerning Comparison of Growth Areas and Emissions, 1980 - 2008. ADDITIONAL REDUCTIONS IN AREA EMISSIONS The new (proposed) Transport Rule will require older power plants to either install pollution control equipment or they will no longer operate This proposal would require significant reductions in sulfur dioxide (SOz) and nitrogen oxides (NOS emissions that cross state lines. These pollutants react in the atmosphere to form fine particles and ground-level ozone and are transported long distances, making it difficult for other states to achieve national clean air standards. By 2014, the rule and other State and EPA actions would reduce the power plant SOZ ,emissions by 71 percent over 2005 levels. Power plant NOX emissions would drop by 52 percent. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) said four (4) potential United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations could result in a loss of up to 19 percent of fossil- fired steam capacity in the United States by 2018. Preparing for the Future Cypress Creek Power Station Due to the downturn in the economy and new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, Cypress Creek Power Station (CCPS) has been delayed eighteen (18) to twenty four (24) months. Work will continue on the linear facilities. Work will continue with all local, state and federal agencies on the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Both sites have received local zoning and other approvals for the power station January 11, 2011 -4- CITY COUNCIL `S BRIEFING MAYOR'S ALTERNATIVE ENERGY REPORT ITEM # 60552 (Continued) A map depicting the sites and General Study Area of Old Dominion Electric Cooperative (ODEC) was presented.

January 11, 2011 -S- CITY MANAGER `SBRIEFING AQUARIUMBLACKBAUDE SOFTWARE SYSTEM ITEM # 60553 3:00 P.M. The City Manager advised critical operations software is needed by the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center. The Aquarium Foundation purchased the software and the City's ComIT and Aquarium staff already coordinated to successfully install the admissions ticketing module, reducing customer wait time, approving efficiency, while also improving internal control of tickets. In order to install the remaining modules, funding is needed and `half has been identified.

PLEDGE OFALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OFAMERICA Mayor Sessoms DISCLOSED as an officer of TowneBank (which has a corporate office located at 297 Constitution Drive in Virginia Beach), he is directly and indirectly involved in many of TowneBank's transactions. However, due to the size of TowneBank and the volume of transactions it handles, TowneBank has an interest in numerous matters in which he is not personally involved and of which he does not have personal knowledge. In that regard, he is always concerned about the appearance of impropriety that might arise if he unknowingly participates in a matter before City Council in which TowneBank has an interest. Mayor Sessoms also has similar concerns with respect to Prudential Towne Realty, which is an affiliate of TowneBank. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act (the "Act"), it is his practice to thoroughly review each City Council agenda to identify any matters in which he might have an actucxl or potential conflict. If, during his review of an agenda, he identifies a matter in which he has a `personal interest", as defined by the Act, he will either abstain from voting, or file the appropriate disclosure letter with the City Clerk to be included in the official records of City Council. Mayor Sessoms ' letter of March 24, 2009, is hereby made a part of the record. January 11, 2011 -36- Vice Mayor Jones DISCLOSED, for many years, he served on the Board of Directors of Resource Bank. Three (3) years ago, Fulton Financial Corporation ("Fulton Financial') purchased Resource Bank. On March 31, 2007, Vice Mayor Jones retired from the Board of Directors. Although, he is no longer a Board Member, he owns stock in Fulton Financial and that stock ownership causes him to have a `personal interest" in Fulton Financial. However, due to the size of Fulton Flnancial and the volume of transactions it handles in any given year, Fulton Financial, or any of the banks that are owned by Fulton Financial, may have an interest in numerous matters in which Vice Mayor Jones has no personal knowledge. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act, it is his practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting of City Council for the purpose of ident~ing any matters in which he might have an actual or potential conflict.

Geis 's property which is 3932 Indian River Road. The City owns the surrounding property. Regina Geis, 829 Brinson Lane, #4, Phone: (757) 635-2893, property owner. Old Dominion Electric Cooperative Eileen Levandoski, Virginia Beach Conservation Manager -Sierra Club, Phone: 277-8537, expressed appreciation re the creation of a Virginia Beach Energy Task Force; however, optional Wind Farms, compete with optional Oil and National Gas development for installation vessels and maritime expertise, in turn, slows down wind turbine installation and increases wind project costs. With implementation of the Task Force recommendations, Virginia Beach can be a Leader in the Commonwealth towards a clean energy feature. Ms. Levandoski is concerned re the ODEC (Old Dominion Electric Cooperative) Report. The Army Corps of Engineers is currently receiving all of its information from ODEC and is working with two (2) different consultants, both from ODEC. It is critical that the Corps also receives the positions of affected communities. January 11, 2011
