<br />Financial Impact:
<br />
<br />· Enactment of this amendment to the City Code will help to ensure that fines can be
<br />legally assessed against overweight vehicles under the Portsmouth City Code and thus
<br />remitted to the City, rather than being remitted to the state. The exact amount of this
<br />additional City revenue cannot be predicted at this time, but it is anticipated to be
<br />substantial.
<br />

<br />Smithfield and to include minor revisions to update the agreement as recommended by
<br />the Hampton Roads Chiefs Association.
<br />
<br />Purpose and Need:
<br />
<br />· In 1990, the cities of Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk, Portsmouth,
<br />Suffolk, Virginia Beach and the County of James City adopted a mutual aid agreement
<br />beneficial to regional law enforcement. In 1997, the City of Williamsburg and the
<br />County of York were included in the agreement.
<br />
<br />· In 2002, the Hampton Roads Chiefs Association determined that the agreement
<br />should be updated. The following changes have been recommended:
<br />
<br />Inclusion of the Town of Smithfield
<br />Deletion of a reference to the TECAP radio system
<br />References to the State Code have been updated
<br />Individual signature pages for jurisdictional approval are included
<br />
<br />Financial Impact:
<br />
<br />· The financial impact cannot be determined at this time, as it would be based on an
<br />incident by incident basis.
<br />
