<br />Mayor Barnes presented the resolution to Mr. Marshall W. Butt, Local Historian.
<br />The following reports from the City Manager were read:
<br />
<br /> 72-31 "I submit the attached agreement and recommend the proper City officials be
<br />authorized to sign. This is an agreement between the cities of Chesapeake and Portsmouth
<br />relative to the purchase of sewerage facilities located in the City of Portsmouth by the
<br />City of Chesapeake and providing for a reciproeal monthly service charge for the rendering
<br />of sewerage service by and between the two cities.
<br />
<br /> Under the annexation decree, the City of Portsmouth was required to purchase the sewer
<br />facilities in the WeStern Branch area. Included is a pump station.and force main located
<br />on Tyre Neck Road and another pump station located on Blaine Street. Also, there is a force
<br />main in this area.
<br />
<br /> Approximately 95% of the sewerage going through the Tyre Neck Road pump station and
<br />force main is from the City of Chesapeake and 15% through the Blaine Street pump station.
<br />Based on the volume of Chesapeake sewerage passing through the Tyre Neck~Road pump station,
<br />it has be~n concluded that this station should be o~ed by the City of Chesapeake and Ports-
<br />mouth pay on a per dwelling unit basis for the use of this facility. Since the majority
<br />of the sewerage passing through the Blaine Street station is from Portsmouth~ this will
<br />remain the property Of the City and Chesapeake pay Portsmouth on a per dwelling unit basis
<br />for the use of this facility.
<br />
<br /> Under the terms of this agreement, Chesapeake will pay the City $51,070 for the pump
<br />station and force main and gravity sewer. These are the same figures the City was required
<br />to pay under the annexation decree. Chesapeake will also pay the City $9,048 for sewer
<br />services from January 1, 1968 through February 28, 1971. This is based on a rate of $1.25
<br />per dwelling unit.
<br />
<br /> The agreement further provides for a reciprocal service charge of $1.25 per month per
<br />dwelling unit~for all'sewer service rendered in the future."
