Recommendation: · Adoption of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an amended agreement on behalf of the City of Portsmouth approving the definitive merger agreement among the Peninsula Transportation District Commission, the Tidewater Transportation District Commission, and the component governments of the commissions. Purpose and Need: · On March 23, 1999, the Portsmouth City Council authorized the City Manager to execute the definitive merger agreement. · After that approval, all six other participating jurisdictions authorized their City Managers to execute the definitive agreement. However, two of the cities proposed changes regarding dedicated revenues. First, all of the participating jurisdictions would have to support the imposition or increase of a proposed tax to be used as dedicated revenues for the Commission prior to seeking such authorization from the General Assembly, and prior to the actual imposition or increase of such tax. Second, to the extent permitted by law, any dedicated revenues authorized by the General Assembly would be allocated to the city in which they were generated, unless the governing body of that jurisdiction authorizes an alternative allocation.
