Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD) and the City of Newport News, Virginia for the Regional Wet Weather Management Plan (RWWMP) ACTION: A REQUEST TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT (MOA) BETWEEN THE HAMPTON ROADS SANITATION DISTRICT (HRSD) AND THE CITY OF NEWPORT NEWS FOR THE REGIONAL WET WEATHER MANAGEMENT PLAN (RWWMP). BACKGROUND: l The MOA is a follow-up to a sewer regionalization recommendation contained in a July 2013 study prepared for HRSD. l There was no regional consensus on the study recommendation. l The MOA defines HRSD and Locality roles, responsibilities and obligations regarding the RWWMP. l HRSD shall be responsible for developing and implementing the MOA. l The City Manager recommends approval.

During the January 14, 2014 Council work session, Engineering and Public Works provided an update on the status of the on-going effort to reach regional consensus on the development of the RWWMP. This work was a follow-up to a July 2013 sewer regionalization study performed for HRSD that concluded that sewer regionalization was feasible and would likely result in a one billion dollar cost savings to the region over the cost of individual locality plans. Unfortunately, locality consensus on the original HRSD regionalization plan could not be obtained. Therefore, HRSD subsequently responded with a revised proposal to develop a regional plan to address wet weather sewer capacity issues with the objective of realizing the cost savings identified in the July 2013 regionalization study. Under this plan, the localities will retain ownership of their sanitary sewer systems and will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of these systems. HRSD will be responsible for developing and implementing the RWWMP, including enhancements to locality sewage facilities as may be required to accomplish plan objectives. The MOA defines roles, responsibilities and obligations of both HRSD and the localities with respect to the RWWMP. HRSD will assume sole responsibility for the RWWMP and will be able to concentrate on those areas where sewer system rehabilitations or enhancements are most cost effective. HRSD will also assume responsibility for all future capacity related sanitary sewer overflows. The localities agree to cooperate with The Honorable City Council Page 2 Regional Wet Weather Management Plan Memorandum of Agreement January 22, 2014 HRSD in the development and implementation of the RWWMP and will agree to adequately operate and maintain those locality facilities improved by the RWWMP. Locality responses to the HRSD RWWMP proposal are due by the end of February 2014. I recommend approval of the resolution. ___________________________________ James M.

Other City Council Actions 2. Ordinance Amending City Code, Chapter 26, Motor Vehicles and Traffic; Article I., In General; by Adding Section 26-12, Authority of City Manager to Alter Speed Limits ACTION: A REQUEST TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CITY CODE, CHAPTER 26, MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC; ARTICLE I., IN GENERAL; BY ADDING SECTION 26-12, AUTHORITY OF CITY MANAGER TO ALTER SPEED LIMITS. BACKGROUND: l Under Section 46.2-1300 of the Code of Virginia, local speed limits may be set by the local Chief Executive Officer (City Manager) if so designated by ordinance. l This proposed ordinance amendment and new section authorizes the City Manager to administratively handle speed limit changes as recommended by the appropriate engineering and traffic study. FISCAL IMPACT: l Future costs associated with modification of speed limits would be operating budget expenses, i.e. cost of sign materials, installation and maintenance. l The City Manager recommends approval. Supporting Material CM Memo re Ord Amndmnt Chapt 26 Speed Limits Ord Amndmnt Chapt 26 Sect 26-12 Speed Limits  CITY OF NEWPORT NEWS OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER January 22, 2014 TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: Ordinance Amendment to Chapter 26, Motor Vehicles and Traffic In reviewing City Code ordinances on change to City streets and roads, the Department of Engineering recommends amending a section dealing with the establishment of speed limits in the City. Under Section 46.2-1300 of the Code of Virginia, local speed limits may be set by the chief administrative officer (City Manager) if so designated by ordinance. The speed limit must be based on an engineering and traffic study. This proposed local ordinance amendment authorizes the City Manager to administratively handle speed limit changes as recommended by the appropriate engineering and traffic study as well. There are no costs associated with the adoption of this Ordinance. Future costs associated with modification of speed limits would be routine operating budget expenses associated with the cost of sign materials, installation and maintenance. It is my recommendation that City Council approve the proposed Ordinance amendment as prepared and submitted by the City Attorney’s office. ________________________________ James M.

BACKGROUND: l Beginning the week of January 27, 2014, the National Weather Service (NWS) forecasted a severe winter storm to impact the Hampton Roads Region. l On January 28, the NWS issued a Winter Storm Warning for the region. l As the Director of Emergency Management, the City Manager exercised his authority and authorized a Declaration of a Local Emergency on Tuesday, January 28, 2014. l In accordance with the Code of Virginia, Section 44- 146.21, the Director may issue the Declaration subject to ratification by the governing body (City Council) at its next regularly scheduled meeting, or at a special meeting within 14 days of the Declaration. l Based on the date the Declaration was issued, ratification of the Declaration by City Council at its February 11, 2014 meeting falls within the required 14 days. l The City Manager recommends approval. FISCAL IMPACT: l N/A Supporting Material CM Memo re Confirming Local Emergency sdm12299 Reso Confirming and Ratifying the Declaration of Local Emergency (Winter Storm Leon)  CITY OF NEWPORT NEWS OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER February 5, 2014 TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: Declaration of a Local State of Emergency The week of January 27, 2014, began with the National Weather Service (NWS) forecasting a winter storm to impact the Hampton Roads Region with the potential of heavy snow, strong winds, and extremely cold temperatures. On Tuesday January 28, a Winter Storm Warning was issued by the NWS. This warning included forecasts for snowfall accumulations of up to 10 inches and wind chill factors at or below zero degrees. In light of the potential severity of this storm and the unknown nature of its impact, and based upon consultation with my Management Team, I exercised my authority as the Director of Emergency Management to authorize a Declaration of A Local Emergency on Tuesday, January 28, 2014. Although the Declaration was precautionary, it was necessary in order for the City to adequately manage any unusual emergencies related to the storm. In accordance with the Code of Virginia, § 44-146.21, the Director of Emergency Management may, with the consent of the governing body, declare a local emergency. If, due to exigent circumstances the governing body cannot convene, the Director may issue the Declaration subject to ratification by the governing body at its next regularly scheduled meeting or at a special meeting within fourteen (14) days of the Declaration, whichever occurs first. Therefore, I am submitting a resolution for your consideration to confirm and ratify the Declaration of A Local Emergency, made necessary by winter storm Leon. _______________________________ James M.

Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Any and All Documents Necessary for the Voluntary Acquisition of Two Unimproved Properties Located at 37 and 38 Madison Lane North for Municipal Stormwater Management Purposes ACTION: A REQUEST TO APPROVE AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTS NECESSARY FOR THE VOLUNTARY ACQUISITION OF TWO UNIMPROVED PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 37 AND 38 MADISON LANE NORTH FOR MUNICIPAL STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PURPOSES. BACKGROUND: l In light of pending changes to the stormwater management regulations at both the state and federal levels, the Department of Engineering is recommending opportunistic purchases of unimproved parcels for purposes of municipal stormwater management. l Given their location and physical characteristics, the subject properties were identified as possible sites for future municipal initiatives. FISCAL IMPACT: l The owners of the subject properties have formally offered the City the option to purchase the two properties for the FY 2013 assessed values of $2,000 each. l Funding will come from previously appropriated City-wide drainage funds. l The City Manager recommends approval. Supporting Material CM Memo re 37 and 38 Madison Lane North Location Map-37 and 38 Madison Lane sdm12291 Ord Authorizing CM to Make Offer to Purchase 37 and 38 Madison Lane North  CITY OF NEWPORT NEWS OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER February 5, 2014 TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: Voluntary Acquisition of Two Properties at 37 and 38 Madison Lane North The Director of Engineering was contacted by Mr. Johnny Cope, the legal representative of the owners of the above-referenced properties, inquiring if the City would be interested in acquiring the properties located at 37 (1.13 acres) and 38 (0.80 acres) Madison Lane North for municipal stormwater management purposes. The Department of Engineering advises that the parcels would be suited for future municipal initiatives such as open-space preservation, and accessibility to the City’s stormwater drainage system. Engineering has since received an offer letter from Mr. Cope that establishes a $2,000 asking price for each of the 1.13 acres and 0.80 acres respectively. The subject parcels are highlighted in red on the attached figure. Based on upcoming stormwater regulations and initiatives at both the state and federal levels, these acquisitions would provide for an opportunity to enhance our stormwater management programs to meet new requirements. Funding for the proposed acquisitions and all associated costs/fees will be coming from previously-appropriated City-wide drainage funds. I recommend that City Council authorize the voluntary acquisition of the two (2) parcels identified as 37 & 38 Madison Lane North for the $4,000 asking price and authorize me to execute all necessary documents for this transaction.

Supporting Material CM Memo re Animal Shelter Regional Animal Shelter Equip & Furnishings  CITY OF NEWPORT NEWS OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER January 22, 2014 TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: New Animal Shelter Funding for Equipment and Furnishings As you are aware, the new Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter continues to move along toward completion. While construction still has a couple of months to go, we have reached the point where we need to start ordering equipment, furnishings and fixtures to outfit the new shelter. We now have a better awareness of what equipment and furnishings are needed and staff estimates that it will take approximately $900,000 to outfit the new shelter with caging, furniture, appliances and other animal services equipment. The City is “front funding” this equipment (as with the construction costs) and will seek repayment through the debt service charges that each of the other three jurisdictions is required to pay, with the cost of these items being proportionally divided among the four participating jurisdictions. To this end, this is to recommend City Council’s approval of a $900,000 appropriation for equipment, furnishings and fixtures for the new Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter. In anticipation of these expenses forthcoming, the funds were included in the separate FY 2013 Bonds Authorization that was established for this purpose. I recommend approval. ________________________________ James M.
