City of Hampton, VA 22 Lincoln Street Hampton, VA 23669 www.hampton.gov Council Agenda Wednesday, September 10, 2014 6:30 PM Council Chambers, 8th Floor, City Hall City Council Linda Curtis, W. H. "Billy" Hobbs, Jr., Will Moffett, Teresa V. Schmidt, Chris Snead, Donnie R. Tuck, George E. Wallace, Mayor Staff: Mary Bunting, City Manager Vanessa T. Valldejuli, City Attorney Katherine K. Glass, CMC, Clerk of Council Last Published: 9/8/2014 1:42:31 PM  WELCOME TO THE HAMPTON CITY COUNCIL MEETING Because of the large number of matters that need consideration, the City Council has established a meeting format and certain guidelines for citizen participation. These help ensure that everyone who wishes to speak can do so, and that the Council can benefit from hearing as many different people as possible in the shortest time. From time to time, It may be in the public's interest to change the format and guidelines, and the Council can do so at its discretion without prior notice. THE ORDER OF BUSINESS The Council generally conducts meetings in the following order: (1) Call to Order (2) Ceremonial Matters (3) Consent Agenda (4) Regular Business Agenda (5) Miscellaneous New Business (6) Adjournment Agenda items are taken up one at a time in the order in which they are listed. Matters on the consent agenda are routine and are adopted by one motion without seperate discussion. However, items can be moved from the consent agenda to the regular agenda upon request by a citizen or a member of the Council. Keep in mind that the agenda is for the convenience of the public and the Council, and that it can be altered by the Council at any time without prior notice when the Council considers it in the public's interest to do so. CITIZENS ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE The City Council has adopted a three (3) minute time limit policy for individuals desiring to address issues before this body. If you wish to address the City Council, please sign in before the meeting on the sign-up sheet located in the rear of Council Chambers. Please include your name and the subject on which you wish to speak, including the docket number if it is an item on the agenda. If you wish to address Council on a non-agenda item, the permission of Council is necessary. If you are with a group of people, you may want to have a spokesman or two present your position to the Council and have others in agreement recognized by standing. The Council will always try to hear everyone who wishes to speak on a subject, but sometimes discussion has to be limited due to time. If the previous speaker has stated your position, you may make that known by reference (for example, "I agree with the position stated by Mr. Jones and have nothing further to add"). Repetition of positions by more than one speaker often uses more time than necessary. Speakers are generally limited to one appearance, although Council can allow exceptions at its discretion. If possible, you should speak from prepared remarks to the subject under discussion. Irrelevant comments use others' time and your own and detract from your statements on the matter being considered. Meetings of the Council are formal proceedings, and all comments are recorded on tape and by stenographer. For that reason, you are requested not to speak from your seat or out of turn. When you are called by the presiding officer, please follow these steps: (1) Come forward to the speaker's podium. (2) State your name and address (3) State your conclusion and give facts and other data to back it up. (4) If you represent a group or organization, ask the others to rise and be recognized. (5) If you have a written statement, give it and other supportive material to the Clerk for the record. The above guidelines are intended to encourage the greatest possible participation by citizens at Council meetings. They can be modified at any time by the Council at its discretion and without prior notice. Thank you for taking your time to participate in the Council meeting. Good government depends on the interest and involvement of you and your fellow citizens. We invite you to return. CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL INVOCATION - Councilman Will Moffett PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO FLAG MAYOR'S COMMENTS CONSENT AGENDA Consent Items 1. 14-0349 Approval of the minutes from the public comment period of May 14, 2014; the afternoon session of May 28, 2014; the public comment period of June 11, 2014; the public comment period of August 13, 2014; and the evening session of August 13, 2014. 2. 14-0353 Ordinance to Amend and Reenact Chapter 33.2 of the City Code of the City of Hampton, Virginia entitled “Stormwater Management” by Amending Section 33.2-8, Exemptions; Section 33.2-12, Water Quality Impact Assessment; and Section 33.2-14, Exceptions to Comply with Amendments to §§ 62.1-44.15, Et Seq. of the Code of Virginia and Other Housekeeping Amendments 3. 14-0357 Resolution Approving the City of Hampton, Virginia's Participation and Appropriation in the 2015 Virginia Homeless Solutions Program Grant Through the Hampton Department of Human Services from the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development 4. 14-0358 Resolution Appropriating Funds for Uncompleted Capital Projects Funded with General Funds, Stormwater Funds, and Economic Development Funds. 5. 14-0359 Resolution Approving the City of Hampton, Virginia's Participation and Appropriation of the FY2015 Public Safety Answering Point Grant through the Virginia E-911 Services Board 6. 14-0360 Resolution Approving the City of Hampton, Virginia's Participation and Appropriation of the FY2014 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant through the United States Department of Justice.
