She stated that as the Council’s representative to the VRE, she wanted to explain that the delays in April were due to the implementation of the “positive train control” safety mechanism.

It is with mixed emotions that I announce that I will be resigning my seat on the Manassas City Council, effective at the end of July 2019, as my family and I will say farewell to this city and so many people we care about sincerely.

Many citizens know that I am the Director of the School Theater at George Mason University. That program’s rise in regional and national rankings has garnered attention, and I was deeply honored to be offered the position of Associate Dean of Arts and Sciences and Director of Performing Arts at High Point University in North Carolina. This was not a position for which I applied. It is a position that was created with me in mind, and the offer of the position was made just last week.

There will be more to say in the coming weeks, but this Council has achieved some great things in the past few years, and I feel satisfaction and pride at having been a part of this city’s storied history. I want to thank the citizens of Manassas who have given me the opportunity to serve this community and offer my appreciation for support and words of grace. To my family, my wife Molly and my children, Sam and Emma, thank you for the support and the sacrifices of timer and energy that you have given to this adventure of running for office and public service. To my colleagues on Council and City Staff, with whom I have enjoyed working, I say thank you, to you, as well, and you will always have my desire to see the best for this City.

As A.A. Milne wrote, in the voice of one ‘willy, nilly, silly old bear’, “How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”

Summary and/orComments:

The Sewer Department is seeking approval to purchase 500,000 gallons per day (0.5 MGD) of sewer capacity from Fairfax County. Cost of this purchase will be approximately $12.56 million. This is needed to keep up with anticipated growth in the City.

Due to anticipated growth and the expansion of Micron in the City over the next few years, the Staff is recommending the purchase of additional sewer capacity. The City currently owns 8.69 MGD of capacity. The highest 30 consecutive day flow average over the past 48 months has been 8.13 MGD or 93.55% of the City’s total capacity. While the Sewer Department has been working to reduce I&I, recent rain as well as continued growth has demonstrated the need additional capacity. Fairfax County is willing to sell the City 0.5 MGD.

Buying capacity now may avoid the City triggering the need for a UOSA plant expansion or a moratorium on additional growth in the city. Either option could be costly to the City.

The purchase price for this capacity is $12,562,601. The City will pay $8,220,297 and make the debt service payments on the associated capacity.

ARTICLE II

SALE OF CAPACITY

SECTION 2.1 CAPACITY ALLOCATION TRANSFER. Fairfax agrees to sell and

Manassas agrees to purchase 0.5 MGD of the Fairfax Capacity Allocation resulting from

expansion of the UOSA Plant from 27.0 to 54.0 MGD, including expansion of the associated

UOSA Delivery System, in addition to the 1.0 MGD of the Fairfax Capacity Allocation sold to

Manassas under the 2007 Capacity Agreement. As between these Parties, the purchase of the

additional 0.5 MGD of the Fairfax Capacity Allocation is considered as being permanent in

nature and, as between these Parties, Manassas assumes all future responsibility for the UOSA

Liability, including but not limited to the liability associated with the UOSA Existing Bonds

Component, as it relates to the acquisition of Purchased Capacity, as of and subsequent to the

Transfer Date. As between these Parties, Fairfax will be relieved of all UOSA Liability,

including but not limited to the liability associated with the UOSA Existing Bonds Component,

with respect to the sale of the Purchased Capacity as of and subsequent to the Transfer Date. As

of the Transfer Date, the Parties will request UOSA to bill in accordance with the Adjusted

Capacity Allocation Percentages as if the Capacity Allocations had been correspondingly revised

in accordance with the UOSA Service Agreement. The Parties agree that for the 0.5 MGD of

Capacity Allocation that is transferred from Fairfax to Manassas as of the Transfer Date, the

Adjusted Capacity Allocation Percentage will be calculated as follows:

A. For Fairfax’s share of the total Permitted UOSA Plant Capacity:

(Fairfax Capacity Allocation [27.5999 MGD] minus the Purchased Capacity* / Permitted

UOSA Plant Capacity [54.0 MGD]

B. For Manassas’s share of the total Permitted UOSA Plant Capacity:

(Manassas Capacity Allocation [7.6893 MGD] plus 1.5 MGD) / Permitted UOSA Plant

Capacity [54 MGD]

[*For purposes of calculating Fairfax's Adjusted Capacity Allocation Percentage, Purchased

Capacity will also include 1 MGD purchased by the City of Manassas from Fairfax in 2007, and

2 MGD purchased by Prince William County in each of 2007 and 2011 for a total of 5.5 MGD.]

44

Page 45: City of Manassas, Virginia City Council Meeting AGENDA City … › manassascity › 6d33... · 2019-06-06 · CITY OF MANASSAS MAY 13, 2019 1/10 A Regular Meeting of the Council

8

The parties hereto acknowledge that the purchase and sale of the Purchased Capacity will not

affect the Capacity Allocations or Capacity Allocation Percentages under the UOSA Service

Agreement.

SECTION 2.2 NOTIFICATION OF TRANSFER. Execution of this Agreement will

serve as notification by Fairfax and Manassas to UOSA of the intent to sell a portion of the

Fairfax Capacity Allocation to Manassas. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Parties will

provide a copy of this Agreement to UOSA and request, pursuant to § 5.4 of the UOSA Service

Agreement that UOSA approve the reallocation of capacity set forth herein. Pursuant to § 5.4 of

the UOSA Service Agreement, the Parties will further request UOSA to change the UOSA Plant

capacity allocations on its books and records for billing purposes and bill in accordance with the

transfer of capacity set forth in this Agreement. However, the Parties acknowledge that this

Agreement does not in any way alter the Parties’ underlying obligations under the UOSA Service

Agreement. The Parties affirm that this Agreement is not an assignment or novation of the

UOSA Service Agreement and does not reduce, change, or modify either Party's obligations

under the UOSA Service Agreement.

SECTION 2.3 BILLING ADJUSTMENT DATE. The Billing Adjustment Date for the

Purchased Capacity shall occur on the first day of the calendar year quarter (January 1st, April 1st,

July 1st, or October 1st) subsequent to the execution of this Agreement by all Parties.

SECTION 2.4 ACQUISITION PRICE OF PURCHASED CAPACITY AND

PAYMENT OF FUTURE COSTS. The acquisition price to be paid by Manassas for the

purchase of 0.5 MGD will be based on all costs incurred by Fairfax with respect to the expansion

of the UOSA Plant from 27.0 MGD to 54.0 MGD, including carrying interest cost for five years.

The price per 0.5 MGD of the UOSA System Capacity is calculated to be $ 8.22 million

provided the remaining debt service owed with respect to Purchased Capacity will be paid in

future installments by Manassas as shown on Attachment B, which is made a part of this

Agreement.

45

Page 46: City of Manassas, Virginia City Council Meeting AGENDA City … › manassascity › 6d33... · 2019-06-06 · CITY OF MANASSAS MAY 13, 2019 1/10 A Regular Meeting of the Council

9

Manassas agrees the initial payment of $ 8,220,297 for the Purchased Capacity will be due in

total prior to the Transfer Date. Manassas further agrees it will incur a debt repayment obligation

associated with the UOSA Existing Bonds Component in accordance with the payment schedule

in Attachment B.

Each Party reserves the right to seek a change in the UOSA Service Agreement which reflects

the sale of capacity set forth in this Agreement.

Manassas further agrees that it will be responsible for all future costs and charges invoiced by

UOSA to Fairfax pursuant to §§ 6.1(b) and (c) and 6.3 and 6.4 of the UOSA Service Agreement,

as may be amended from time to time, that are allocable to the Purchased Capacity. Specifically,

Fairfax will charge Manassas for, and Manassas agrees to pay, all costs allocated and invoiced to

Fairfax by UOSA for the Purchased Capacity. The amount to be charged by Fairfax to Manassas

will be based on the following formula:

Capacity Costs multiplied by (Manassas Purchased Capacity / Current Fairfax Capacity

Allocation)

Whereby:

Capacity Costs – all costs invoiced by UOSA to Fairfax pursuant to §§6.1(b) and

(c) and §§ 6.3 and 6.4 of the UOSA Service Agreement, as may be amended from

time to time, that are based on the Capacity Allocation Percentage as referenced

in the UOSA Service Agreement;

Manassas Purchased Capacity – 0.5 MGD; and

Current Fairfax Capacity Allocation – the Capacity Allocation that is used by

UOSA for the billing of obligations as set forth in §§ 6.1(b) and (c) and §§ 6.3

and 6.4 the UOSA Service Agreement, as may be amended from time to time. As

of the date of this Agreement, the Current Fairfax Capacity Allocation is 27.5999

46

Page 47: City of Manassas, Virginia City Council Meeting AGENDA City … › manassascity › 6d33... · 2019-06-06 · CITY OF MANASSAS MAY 13, 2019 1/10 A Regular Meeting of the Council

10

MGD. This capacity figure does not take into account the previous 5 MGD sale of

capacity or the sale of 0.5 MGD capacity contemplated by this Agreement.

Unless and until an amendment to the UOSA Service Agreement is executed that recognizes the

sale of capacity set forth herein, in addition to all obligations related to the 2007 Purchased

Capacity, and based on the cost allocation formula shown above, Manassas will be responsible

for 1.81% (0.5 MGD / 27.5999 MGD) of all existing and future costs associated with the

issuance of additional bonds that are allocable to such capacity, the payment of the Cost of

Replacements and Necessary Improvements (as defined in the UOSA Service Agreement and

sometimes referred to and invoiced by UOSA as “reserve maintenance”), and any other costs

that are invoiced by UOSA to Fairfax based on the Current Fairfax Capacity Allocation. The

Parties expect that no later than the Billing Adjustment Date UOSA will invoice Manassas

quarterly for such costs attributable to the Purchased Capacity using the Payment Schedule by

Fiscal Year in Attachment B, but until UOSA begins invoicing Manassas for the Purchased

Capacity, Fairfax will bill Manassas quarterly for all such future costs invoiced by UOSA to

Fairfax that are attributable to the Purchased Capacity.

Manassas agrees that, subsequent to the Transfer Date, it will be liable for all future costs

invoiced by UOSA to Fairfax that are attributable to the Purchased Capacity and agrees to pay

Fairfax for such costs. Fairfax will invoice Manassas within 30 days after receipt of the

quarterly UOSA invoice for such costs attributable to the Purchased Capacity. To the extent that

Manassas does not compensate Fairfax for the future costs invoiced to Fairfax for the Purchased

Capacity, then Fairfax shall have the right to impose interest on such unpaid amounts, which

shall accrue at the highest rate of interest payable by UOSA on any of the bonds then outstanding

until such amounts and interest thereon have been paid in full.

SECTION 2.5 OPERATING COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH CAPACITY

ALLOCATION. Participants are responsible for all Operating Costs based on metered

wastewater flow measured by metering at the Point of Delivery. Accordingly, all Operating

Costs corresponding to the wastewater flow associated with the Purchased Capacity will be

measured by metering at the Point of Delivery by UOSA and will be billed directly by UOSA to

47

Page 48: City of Manassas, Virginia City Council Meeting AGENDA City … › manassascity › 6d33... · 2019-06-06 · CITY OF MANASSAS MAY 13, 2019 1/10 A Regular Meeting of the Council

11

Manassas. As between the Parties, in no event will Fairfax be responsible for the payment of

any Operating Costs associated with the Purchased Capacity.

SECTION 2.6 COMPLIANCE WITH UOSA SERVICE AGREEMENT. Subject to

§ 2.2, and with respect to the Purchased Capacity acquired by Manassas and transferred by

Fairfax, Manassas agrees to be in compliance with all its responsibilities as provided for in the

UOSA Service Agreement as it relates to the operation and financing of the UOSA System.

These compliance provisions include, but are not limited to, the payment of the allocated debt

service payments on the UOSA Bonds, payment of rates for service, delivery of wastewater

flows in accordance with the capacity and strength limits, and any other requirements as defined

in the UOSA Service Agreement. It is acknowledged by the Parties that any default by

Manassas with respect to the UOSA Service Agreement relating to the Purchased Capacity shall

be, as between Fairfax and Manassas, the sole obligation and responsibility of Manassas. Fairfax

retains all legal rights and remedies against Manassas to recover any and all monies Fairfax is

obligated to pay to UOSA as a result of such default.

ARTICLE III

EXCESS FLOWS

SECTION 3.1 EXCESS FLOW ABOVE CAPACITY ALLOCATION. As a condition

of this Agreement and in order to meet the service area wastewater requirements, Manassas has

agreed to purchase a portion of the Fairfax Capacity Allocation for its specific use as discussed

in Article II and has agreed not to utilize any additional amount of the Fairfax Capacity

Allocation. Manassas and Fairfax recognize that in order to maintain equity and to provide fair

compensation among the Participants, any time Manassas has an Excess Flow occurrence, as

defined in § 1.2 above, Manassas shall compensate the Participant(s) that has(have) the available

and unused Capacity Allocation which is effectively being used to meet Excess Flow demands.

Accordingly, when Manassas has an Excess Flow occurrence it shall pay an additional charge as

set forth in § 3.2. Manassas’ Adjusted Capacity Allocation shall be used to determine whether

an Excess Flow has occurred.

48

Page 49: City of Manassas, Virginia City Council Meeting AGENDA City … › manassascity › 6d33... · 2019-06-06 · CITY OF MANASSAS MAY 13, 2019 1/10 A Regular Meeting of the Council

12

SECTION 3.2. PAYMENT FOR EXCESS FLOW. To the extent that Manassas has an

Excess Flow occurrence, Fairfax may charge, and Manassas agrees to pay Fairfax, an amount

equal to the Fairfax pro rata share of the amount to be calculated in accordance with this § 3.2;

provided, however, that Fairfax agrees not to impose charges under this § 3.2 for any period that

UOSA imposes charges pursuant to § 6.6 of the UOSA Service Agreement payable to Fairfax for

Manassas Excess Flow. Fairfax will rely on UOSA data to determine the Manassas flows.

Additional charges imposed by Fairfax, and paid by Manassas, in accordance with this § 3.2 do

not purchase any capacity for Manassas in addition to the amounts purchased under this

Agreement, nor do they condone such Excess Flows.

The payment for Excess Flow shall be calculated by multiplying the cost per MGD, based on

UOSA’s total annual Debt Service and Capacity (currently 54 MGD), by the amount of

exceedance in MGD. To the extent that other Participants also have available and unused

Capacity Allocation, Fairfax would only bill Manassas under this Agreement for the Fairfax pro

rata share of the Excess Flow payment. Fairfax will notify Manassas of the amount of the

Excess Flow and will invoice Manassas for the share of additional charges required under this

§ 3.2.

Attachment C further outlines the methodology which UOSA or Fairfax would use to determine

whether an exceedance occurred and to calculate applicable additional charges.

ARTICLE IV

MODIFICATION OF UOSA SERVICE AGREEMENT

SECTION 4.1 COMPLIANCE. Both Fairfax and Manassas, as Participants to the UOSA

Service Agreement, shall continue to adhere to all terms, conditions, covenants, and

requirements as outlined in the UOSA Service Agreement that are applicable to such

Participants. While the Parties between themselves have altered their responsibilities for i) the

change in the respective Capacity Allocation in the UOSA System for Fairfax and Manassas and

the obligations associated with such changes in Capacity Allocation; and ii) the recognition of

Excess Flows and the compensation to all Participants that provide the necessary Capacity

49

13

Allocation to meet such Excess Flow conditions, as between each Party and UOSA nothing in

this Agreement shall modify, change, or adjust either Party’s obligations under the UOSA

Service Agreement and the ability to meet the policies and intent as defined in the Occoquan

Policy.

9027 Center StreetManassas, VA 20110

Meeting Date: June 10, 2019

Time Estimate: 10 Minutes

Agenda Title: Amendments to Policy Statement #P-2016-03: Related to Term Limits for City Boards, Committees and Commissions Policy

Recommendation: Approve

Motion: I move to approve the amendments to Policy Statement #P-2016-03, related to term limits for members of City Boards, Committees and Commissions.

Date Last Consideredby City Council:

City Council last considered these proposed amendments at a work session on April 29. They were then discussed by the Appointments Committee on May 22, 2019, after hearing from representatives of some of the City’s boards, committees and commissions.

Summary and/orComments:

In February 2019 City Council amended the Policy Statement for appointments to City Boards, Committees and Commissions to provide for term limits. The amendment adopted in February provides as follows:

Individuals are allowed to serve for two consecutive full terms and are eligible to serve again one year after his or her term on the Board, Committee or Commission has ended. Term limited individuals may apply for a position on the same Board, Committee, or Commission within one year if the vacancy is the result of another member resigning and a reasonable amount of time has passed. The City Council reserves the right to reappoint an individual who has served two full terms, should the Council determine interests of the City require such an exception.

The newest proposed amendments (1) allow the Appointments Committee to recommend appointments that promote staggered terms; (2) establish July 1, 2019 as the effective date for the term limit policy; (3) refine the exceptions to the limit of two full consecutive terms; and (4) require an annual report to City Council from each City board, committee and commission.

An additional issue raised since the Appointments Committee made its recommendation is that the policy does not expressly state whether individuals can apply for reappointment after completion of their second term. If City Council wants to address that issue I would recommend replacing the last sentence at the end of the first paragraph in (C) with the following:

Individuals who wish to serve another term on a Board, Committee or Commission, shall reapply through the City’s website and, if multiple qualified candidates exist, may interview with the Appointments Committee. Incumbent Board, Committee and Commission members in good standing are invited to apply through the City’s website for reappointment at the conclusion of their term; provided, however, that the incumbents who are completing the second of two consecutive full terms will only be considered for reappointment under the circumstances specified in this Policy.

Board – Committee – or Commission Reviewed:

The Appointments Committee recommended approval of the proposed amendments.

POLICY STATEMENT #P-2016-03

Regular City Council MeetingFebruary 8, 2016

Amended: February 11, 2019Amended: ______________

RE: Appointments to Boards, Committees and Commissions

I. PURPOSE

Policy Statement #P-2016-03 shall establish a policy and process regarding appointments to themany City Boards, Committees and Commissions.

II. BACKGROUND

The City of Manassas has approximately forty Boards, Committees and Commissions, including multi-jurisdictional boards and authorities, which provide technical, advisory and administrative services to the City and its residents. The City Council recognizes that Boards, Committees and Commissions are an integral and important component of local government and citizens provide the City with a vast resource of talent and expertise.

III. POLICY

The City Council is responsible for appointing citizens to the various Boards, Committees and Commissions and intends to encourage interested citizens to serve and participate in their community. All appointments and removals are made at the discretion of the City Council.

IV. CRITERIA

The Code of Virginia, City of Manassas Code of Ordinances and adopted by-laws shall determine eligibility of individuals applying to serve on Boards, Committees and Commission. Applicants shall not be delinquent in any taxes, fees or fines due to the City.

In making appointments, the City Council shall consider interest, diversity of background, relevant experience and expertise, and any unique qualifications of the applicant.

V. PROCESS

The following process shall be followed to recommend and ultimately approve appointments:

A. NOTIFICATION – Sufficient notice shall be given to the individual whose term is expiring; if he or she wishes to serve another term, a letter expressing this interest to the City Clerk is required.

81

Page 82: City of Manassas, Virginia City Council Meeting AGENDA City … › manassascity › 6d33... · 2019-06-06 · CITY OF MANASSAS MAY 13, 2019 1/10 A Regular Meeting of the Council

2

B. ADVERTISING – Openings on the City’s Boards, Committees and Commissions will be advertised on the website and on the government access channel.

C. APPLICATION – Applications are available on the City’s website and may be completed and submitted to the City Clerk’s Office electronically. In addition, applications are available in the City Clerk’s Office and can be mailed, faxed or hand delivered once completed.

Applications received for a Board, Committee or Commission that does not have a vacancy will be kept on file for one year or until a vacancy occurs. The applicant will then be contacted to determine if he or she remains interested in the position.

D. INTERVIEW – The City Clerk’s Office will process all applications in a timely manner and will contact the applicant to schedule an interview with the Appointments Committee. Interviews are generally brief, but provide an opportunity for the Appointments Committee to ask questions and discuss an applicant’s experience and interest in serving on a Board, Committee or Commission. The Appointments Committee may make a recommendation to the City Council at a future Regular Meeting.

E. APPOINTMENT / REAPPOINTMENT – The City Council may discuss appointments and any recommendations of the Appointments Committee during a closed session at a Regular Meeting. A motion, a second, and a majority vote of the Council are required to approve appointments and reappointments. The City Clerk’s Office will notify individuals appointed or reappointed by mail or e-mail and will share contact information with the Staff Liaison or Chairman of the Board, Committee or Commission. The term of office and other relevant information will be provided to the new or reappointed member prior to or during the first meeting. Those not appointed will be notified.

VI. TERMS

A. The standard term for each appointment is four years unless another term is established by State Code or another jurisdiction (multi-jurisdictional appointments). Terms of office shall begin on July 1 of each year.

B. Since staggered terms promote continuity and preserve institutional history, when making recommendations to City Council the Appointments Committee will consider whether terms are adequately staggered on each Board, Committee and Commission as openings arise. Unless a specific term is prescribed by state law, the Appointments Committee may recommend the appointment of an individual for less than a full term, in order to create staggered terms on a particular Board, Committee or Commission.

C. To promote broad participation, new ideas and perspectives, and to provide an opportunity for the Board, Committee or Commission to represent the community, interviews will be conducted for all available positions. Individuals who wish to serve another term on a Board, Committee or Commission, shall reapply through the City’s 82

website and, if multiple qualified candidates exist, may interview with the Appointments Committee.

Effective July 1, 2019, any individual who is completing two or more consecutive full terms of service shall not be eligible for reappointment to the same Board, Committee or Commission for a period of one year after his or her term has ended, except a term limited individual may be appointed to the same Board, Committee or Commission:

(i) Within one year if there is another unexpected vacancy to be filled; (ii) If there are no other applicants to fill the vacancy; or(iii) City Council determines that the reappointment of the term limited

individual is in the best interests of the City. Individuals appointed to serve the remainder of an unexpired term shall not be considered as serving a full term.

VII. ATTENDANCE

Section 2-301, paragraph (b), of the Manassas City Code of Ordinances:

If any member of a board, commission, committee or authority shall be absent from three regular meetings consecutively, except under emergency circumstances approved by the City Council, or shall be absent from 50 percent of the meetings held during any six-month period for any reason, that member’s seat may be deemed vacant by resolution of the City Council, and thereupon the unexpired term shall be filled according to law.

VIII. GENERAL PROVISIONS

A. Appointed members of the City’s Boards, Committees and Commissions are expected to fulfill their responsibilities and duties and comply with all requirement and applicable laws.

B. Members of the Economic Development Authority, the Planning Commission, the Boards of Zoning Appeals, and the Upper Occoquan Sewage Authority (UOSA) are required by the Code of Virginia to submit Financial and Real Estate disclosure forms to the City Clerk on an annual basis.

C. Each City Board, Committee and Commission will submit an annual report for the prior fiscal year to the Clerk of City Council by September 1. The report should include accomplishments from the prior year and goals and objectives for the coming year. A Board, Committee or Commission may request the opportunity to present the annual report at a regularly scheduled meeting of the City Council.

D. Boards, Committees and Commissions with by-laws that contradict Policy #P-2016-03 shall amend such by-laws to ensure compliance.

E. The City Council may amend Policy #P-2016-03 as it deems necessary.
