Claim for Reimbursement – Windsor and Carrollton Volunteer Fire
Departments
BACKGROUND:
At its regular meeting on December 17, 2015, the Board received a claim
from representatives of the Windsor and Carrollton Volunteer Fire
Departments for reimbursement of their legal expenses related to
negotiation of the Facility Use Agreement. In accordance with the
requirements of Section 15.2-1244 of the Code of Virginia (1950, as
amended), no such claim may be paid until received, audited and
approved by the governing body.
On January 5, 2016, the Chief of Emergency Services made a formal
request for information related to the claim and copies of invoices related
to said legal expenses were received by staff on January 8, 2016. Based
upon the information provided, the departments are seeking
reimbursement in the amount of $29,868.64.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
Payment of the claim would result in a $29,868.64 expenditure from the
General Fund which was not previously budgeted for by the Board of
Supervisors.

review and evaluation.

ISSUE:
Resolution – Opposition to the Recommended Preferred Alternative to
U. S. 460
BACKGROUND:
At its special meeting on February 11, 2015, the Board of Supervisors
unanimously adopted a motion to support approval of the location of the
seventeen (17) mile recommended Preferred Alternative to U.S. 460,
subject to the provisions of the following prioritized items:
1. A full interchange at the intersection of the recommended
Preferred Alternative and the existing U.S. 460 that provides full
access to the Shirley T. Holland Intermodal Park including
incorporation of improvements to the existing State Route 607
(Old Mill Road) intersection and the existing U.S. 460 corridor
between Old Mill Road and the County line, and options for
leaving State Route 636 (Old Suffolk Road) open.
2. A full interchange at the intersection of the recommend Preferred
Alternative and U.S. 258 for improved movement along the
Preferred Alternative and enhanced evacuation from the northern
portion of the County.
3. Grade separation at the following:
State Route 603 (Shiloh Drive), and State Route 600 (Deer Path
Trail).
4. Continuation of multi-modal access on US Route 258.
5. Continued efforts to work with affected landowners as much as
possible such that the finalized route will be the least intrusive
possible to maintain specific landowner interest.
To date, none of the provisions outlined in said resolution have been
addressed in a manner acceptable to the Board of Supervisors. In this
regard, the Board may wish to adopt a resolution opposing the
Recommended Preferred Alternative to U. S. 460.
RECOMMENDATION:
Per the Board’s discussion and direction.
ATTACHMENTS:
Resolution
RESOLUTION TO OPPOSE THE RECOMMENDED PREFERRED
ALTERNATIVE TO U.S. 460
WHEREAS, Isle of Wight County recognizes that the U.S. 460 Corridor
Improvement Project is intended to benefit the long term interests of the
Commonwealth; and,
WHEREAS, Isle of Wight County acknowledges that specific
constraints, including environmental issues, limit the location of the proposed
corridor improvements in Isle of Wight County; and,
WHEREAS, Isle of Wight County is a constructive partner regarding
U.S. 460 corridor improvements that seek to benefit the welfare of various
local, regional and statewide interests and stakeholders, including the Port of
Virginia; and,
WHEREAS, several of the Port of Virginia’s largest customers are
located in Isle of Wight County and have a demonstrated need to access the
U.S. 460 Corridor Improvements in order to provide safe and efficient
transport of their increasing freight traffic to and from the Port from the
County’s Shirley T. Holland Intermodal Park; and,
WHEREAS, the Shirley T. Holland Intermodal Park has 974
developable acres planned and zoned for future industrial development which
will necessarily generate additional employee and freight traffic; and,
WHEREAS, the future expansion of the Shirley T. Holland Intermodal
Park is a vital component of Isle of Wight County’s sustained economic
viability; and,
WHEREAS, at its special meeting on February 11, 2015, the Board of
Supervisors of Isle of Wight County adopted a resolution to support approval
of the proposed location of the seventeen (17) mile recommended Preferred
Alternative to U.S. 460 dated January 13, 2015, subject to five (5) specific
conditions critical to the long-term interests of our community; and
WHEREAS, VDOT submitted a Joint Permit Application to the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers on November 30, 2015 containing a refined corridor
description which had not been previously submitted to, reviewed by, or
otherwise shared with Isle of Wight for comment; and
WHEREAS, upon review such refinement specifically excludes
reasonable access at Isle of Wight’s previously identified critical points, which
were a crucial condition of the County’s previous support;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT AND IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that
the Board of Supervisors of the County of Isle of Wight, Virginia expresses
it’s objection to the Joint Permit Application package submitted for public
review on November 30, 2015 without County input on design changes.
IT IS HEREBY FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors
expresses it’s opposition to the Recommended Preferred Alternative to U.S.
460, as detailed in the recently release permit application package.

ISSUE:
Motion – Authorize Issuance of an RFP for the Gatling Pointe
Waterline
BACKGROUND:
At its regular meeting on November 19, 2015, the Board held a public
hearing proposed Gatling Pointe waterline extension and deferred
action on the matter until its regular meeting on January 21, 2016.
At its regular meeting on October 27, 2015, the Planning Commission
voted 6-0-2 to recommend denial of the waterline extension on the
basis that the water line project would be outside the Newport
Development Service District, and therefore is not in substantial accord
with the Comprehensive Plan.
The Planning Commission also recommended that the following
suggestions be forwarded to the Board relative to this waterline project:
1) consider the project as part of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan review
process, 2) initiate more cooperative efforts between the County, the
Town and the citizens, and 3) consider the need for a sewer line in
addition to the water line.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the issuance of an RFP to support the selection of a
Consulting firm to design the proposed waterline project.

Presentation Summary
▪Overall Background
▪Water Cost Structure
▪Cost Comparison
▪Recommendation
2
Overall Background
▪Proposed water main along Nike Park to serve existing County customers
▪Customers referenced currently served by Town through bulk water purchase
▪Adding customers uses WTWA water we’re already buying
▪Transfers County expenditures to pay for WTWA debt
▪County is now effectively paying for this water twice by using other source
▪Payback period will almost certainly be faster than bond rate just with GP alone
▪Long term benefit for County and Town
▪Agreement with Town to transition customers to be determined/as directed by BOS
3
Overall Background
▪Proposal is to ultimately follow through with this critical previously approved CIP
▪Uses approved funding
▪Prevents current wasteful ‘doubling up’ of County funds
▪Saves $10M over 20 years
▪Staff recommendation at November BOS was to advertise RFP
▪Results of Proposals received will
▪Provide additional details and identify design particulars
▪Confirm estimate provided in PER
▪Take a few months while Board contemplates transition agreement with Town etc.
▪At no significant expense to County (RFP advertisement costs)
▪Board can approve next step, to issue design contract, if project continues.
4
Overall Background
▪Infrastructure investment is typical for Municipal water systems
▪County Code allows this construction:
▪‘To promote the greater public interest and general public welfare’
▪Waterline extension:
▪Helps pay WTWA debt sooner
▪Provides sustainable, long term, treated supply
▪Uses water we already purchase
▪Project is thus in the greater public interest and promotes public welfare
5
Overall Background
▪City of Suffolk has invested between $100M and $150M in water infrastructure costs
▪County pays 25% of most infrastructure work within City per WTWA Contract
▪Infrastructure within City is sized to accommodate/deliver County’s water demand
▪County investments to serve our customer base are on the order of $5M
▪Big picture/long term -County pays $25M to develop WTWA capacity, but we have not invested in constructing internal distribution networks to serve customer base.
