February 27, 2024 Next Steps Following Council Action:  Finance will make the appropriate budgetary adjustments. Motion by Mr. Tillage, and seconded by Ms. Lucas-Burke, to adopt the following ordinance, and was adopted by the following vote: “ORDINANCE ACCEPTING ADDITIONAL FAMILY PRESERVATION AND SUPPORT PROGRAM FUNDING IN THE AMOUNT OF $5,000 FROM THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES AND APPROPRIATING SAID AMOUNT IN THE FY 2024 SOCIAL SERVICES FUND BUDGET TO PROVIDE SHORT-TERM SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN IN CRISIS.” Ayes: Hugel, Lucas-Burke, Moody, Tillage, Whitaker, Glover Nays: None 24 - 58 - Adoption of a resolution submitting the attached Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Form U-1, Request for Street Additions or Deletions for Municipal Assistance Payments to the VDOT Hampton Roads District. Background:  The Urban Maintenance Program is managed based on statutes in the Code of Virginia, (1950), as amended which authorize the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner to make payments to qualifying cities and towns for maintenance, construction and reconstruction of roads and streets meeting specific criteria and under certain conditions.  VDOT maintains an inventory of City of Portsmouth streets that is used to calculate VDOT’s annual street maintenance payments to the City. This inventory has been reviewed annually since the creation of the Local Assistance Division in 2002. Discussion:  The street maintenance funds received from VDOT are based on the number of “lane miles” of improved street within the City as detailed by the VDOT Local Assistance Division Urban Maintenance Inventory for the City of Portsmouth.  VDOT requires a locality to submit Form U-1 to their District Office indicating any changes to their inventory as new streets are added through development or as streets are closed.  The VDOT Urban Construction and Maintenance Program requires the submission of a City Council resolution to accompany Form U-1.  Additions and corrections to the inventory in Form U-1 are the result of reviewing the streets accepted into our network and street closures for FY2023. This review revealed 2.84 lane miles of additional roadway.  VDOT has provided confirmation that this addition is acceptable and will complete its review of the City’s submission for conformance to state standards once the resolution is submitted. VDOT will adjust the city’s Urban Maintenance Inventory as appropriate. Financial Impact  The addition of this roadway segment will result in an increase in the amount of funding from VDOT for street maintenance. The increased amount would be at least $46,708.91 based on the most recent allocation per lane mile. Recommended Action:  Adoption of the Resolution. Next Steps Following Council Action:  Submit Resolution and hard copy of U-1 form to VDOT. Motion by Mr. Moody, and seconded by Mr. Hugel, to adopt the following resolution, and was adopted by the following vote:
