Ayes: Heretick, Moody, Psi mas, Randall, D. Smith, R. Smith, Holley Nays: None - City Manager's Report - 07 - 388 - Adoption of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Right of Way Permit and Easement to Virginia Electric and Power Company at Scotts Creek Park. Vision Principle: Thriving Neighborhoods and a Sense of Community. Background: . Scotts Creek Park is currently under construction along the north side of London Boulevard between Scotts Creek and Constitution Avenue. The park is located on City owned property. . As part of the park design, lighting is desired in the central portion of the park near the intersection of North Street and Jamestown Road. Ten pole mounted decorative lighting fixtures with underground wiring are proposed to be installed. Discussion: . Dominion Virginia Power will install and maintain lighting as part of our street light program. . Dominion Virginia Power requires an easement allowing them to enter the property to construct and maintain the lighting fixtures and power lines, and to operate the lights. Financial Impact: . The discounted installation cost to the City of Portsmouth will be $883.37, which will be paid out of the project funding code. The City of Portsmouth receives a credit equal to six years of projected revenue against the cost of installation. Staff Recommends: Adoption of proposed resolution. Vision Principle: Thriving Neighborhoods and a Sense of Community. Next Steps following City Council Action: . The City Manager will execute the License and Permit Agreement and any other necessary documents to convey to Dominion Virginia Power rights to install and maintain street light fixtures. Motion by Mr. Heretick, and seconded by Ms. Randall, to adopt the following resolution, and was adopted by the following vote: "RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A RIGHT OF WAY PERMIT AND EASEMENT TO VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY AT SCOTT'S CREEK PARK.
