Smith, Holley Nays: None - Other Unfinished Business - 08 - 193 - Adoption of a resolution calling on the Virginia House of Delegates, the Senate of Virginia, and the Governor of Virginia to meet their obligation to the Commonwealth of Virginia and its citizens to provide funding for an adequate state highway system. Deferred from the April 8, 2008 City Council Meeting. Vision Principle: Thriving Neighborhoods and a Sense of Community; Bold New Directions; a Robust and Prospering Economy. Background: . The 2007 Session of the General Assembly adopted a plan to provide funding for regional transportation needs. The plan created a regional transportation authority, the Hampton Roads Transportation Authority (HRTA), which was given the power to impose various taxes and fees in the Hampton Roads region. Discussion: . The Supreme Court of Virginia ruled that the taxes and fees are unconstitutional. That decision leaves the region with no source of funding for important regional transportation needs. The resolution calls on the General Assembly and Governor to provide a state source of funding for those needs. Financial Impact: . The resolution itself will have no material financial impact. Staff Recommends: There is no staff recommendation. This matter is a policy issue to be determined by City Council in its sole discretion. Next Steps Following Council Action: . If the resolution is adopted, City staff will forward copies of it to the Governor, to appropriate members of the General Assembly, and to the other cities and counties that are members of HRTA. Motion by Mr. Moody, and seconded by Mr. Heretick, to adopt the following resolution, and was adopted by the following vote:
