<br /> 85-263 Letter from the City Manager recommending adoption of a resolution authorlzzng
<br />the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Hampton Roads Sanitation District for the
<br />sale of certain City sanitary sewage facilities.
<br />
<br /> "At its August 27, 1985 meeting, the Hampton Roads Sanitation District approved a contra
<br />with the City of Portsmouth to incorporate the City into the service district.
<br />
<br /> The basic terms of this agreement provide for HRSD to purchase the Pinners Point sewage
<br />treatment facility, three pump stations and certain sanitary sewer force mains from the City
<br />for approximately $4.5 million. The property will actually be transferred as of July i, 1988
<br />
<br /> In the event that HRSD should terminate operations of the Pinners Point sewage treatment
<br />plant in the future, the property will be reconveyed to the City at no cost. In addition,
<br />HRSD will be responsbile for reimbursement to the Federal Government if such termination of
<br />operations is found to be in violation of the Federal Grant Program.
<br />
<br /> In my opinion, this agreement is advantageous for both Hampton Roads Sanitation District
<br />and the citizens of the City of Portsmouth. To HRSD, it gives to them our Federal grant that
<br />they would not have reaeived, and to us, it is a ~savzngs oF over ~32 million. Had Portsmouth
<br />citizens been required to install secondary treatment at the Pinners Point Plant, the cost
<br />would have been $32 million, and in order to pa)- for such expenses, utilities bills would have
<br />eventually had to be increased over the next five years of over one hundred percent.
<br />
<br /> I, therefore, recommend adoption of the attached resolution authorizing the
<br />to execute the attached agreement and to further authorize such legal proceedings
<br />required to incorporate the City into the Hampton Roads Sanitation District."
