September 9, 2014 Financial Impact • There may be future costs associated with the City's permit as a result of allowing private developers to purchase mitigation credits outside of the Portsmouth city limits. However, the positive impact on fostering economic development and resulting benefits from an expanded tax base and increased environmental programs far outweigh any negative impacts. Recommended Action: • Adoption of the ordinance. Vision Principle: Efficient, Responsive Government. Next Steps Following Council Action: • Track offsite stormwater compliance outside of the City's MS4 boundaries. Motion by Mr. Edmonds, and seconded by Mr. Meeks, to adopt the following ordinance, and was adopted by the following vote: "ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 31.2 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF PORTSMOUTH, VIRGINIA (2006) TO AUTHORIZE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS TO ACHIEVE OFFSITE WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS BY THE PURCHASE OF STORMWATER MITIGATION CREDITS OUTSIDE OF THE PORTSMOUTH CITY LIMITS."

Vision Principle: Efficient, Responsive Government. Background: • The City garage will periodically remove vehicles/ equipment from service and hold an auction for their sale; approximately three times a year. • All vehicles are independently vetted based on life cycle to include: mileage, condition, repair cost history, accident history, parts and service item obsolescence. • People's Auction is the contract vendor and the auctions are held the last Saturday of the month at their Chesapeake location. September's auction is September 27, 2014. • Auction is advertised by the vendor to include web based advertising (vendor website) as well as City website with link to Peoples Auction, flyers & mailings, and newsprint classified. Discussion: • The proceeds from the auction of the vehicles are a revenue source for the Department/ Agency owner of the vehicle. General Fund vehicle proceeds go to the City Garage Fund, Public Utility vehicle proceeds go to Public Utility Fund,etc. • The total proceeds vary based on the number and type of vehicles available for surplus. The City Garage revenue for FY2014 was $52,431. • The utilization of a contract auction vendor and Saturday auctions have resulted in higher auction values. Vendor site is utilized for storage pending auction sale at no cost, which has freed valuable space at the City Operations Center. Financial Impact: • Proceeds will be placed in the appropriate fund. Recommended Action: • Adoption of the resolution. Vision Principle: Efficient, Responsive Government. Next Steps Following Council Action: • The auction will proceed as scheduled. Motion by Ms. Randall, and seconded by Mr. Meeks, to adopt the following resolution, and was adopted by the following vote:
