Council adopts five-year CIP, passes consent agenda; vote on CIP 6-1
Summary
The Hampton City Council approved the five-year Capital Improvement Plan following a public hearing and adopted a multi-item consent agenda. The CIP passed 6-1; Councilwoman Campbell voted no. The consent agenda — containing several budget amendments and an appointment — passed unanimously.
The Hampton City Council voted Tuesday to adopt a five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and approved its consent agenda, which included multiple appropriations and an appointment. The CIP passed on a 6-1 roll call, with Councilwoman Campbell voting no; the consent agenda was adopted unanimously.
The motion to approve the CIP (agenda item listed as 25036) was moved by Councilwoman Mugler and seconded by Councilwoman Harper. Roll-call votes recorded Councilman Randy Bowman, Vice Mayor Brown, Councilwoman Farrabee, Councilwoman Harper, Councilwoman Mugler and Mayor James A. Gray voting “Aye,” and Councilwoman Campbell voting “No.” The clerk announced the motion carried.
Council members and staff clarified that a widely circulated figure for a proposed Buckroe parking garage — sometimes described in public polling materials as a $17.2 million project — was not included in the proposed five-year CIP. City staff said the I-Value public engagement process collected a broad set of suggested projects for public consideration; not all submitted projects were advanced to the CIP and the Buckroe garage was not placed in the five-year plan.
The consent agenda, approved earlier in the meeting, included these items as read into the record by the clerk:
- Amend the FY 2025 council-approved budget to appropriate $350,000 from the general fund’s restricted fund balance to the sheriff jail general fund operating budget. - Accept and appropriate grant funding to assist Hampton Police and the Community Services Board respond to individuals experiencing mental health crises (amount not specified in the agenda summary). - Advance $500,000 from the steam plant unrestricted net position to the steam plant operating budget to fund the rail system that supports the cranes at the Hampton steam plant. - Appropriate an increased allocation from VDOT for the urban maintenance program to maintain eligible roadway maintenance (amount not specified). - Amend the council’s public hearing and public comment protocol (as described on the agenda). - Appoint Councilwoman Farrabee to the Virginia Municipal League Community and Economic Development Committee. - Approve minutes of March (specific date not specified on the agenda summary).
The clerk recorded the consent vote by roll call: Councilman Bowman Aye; Vice Mayor Brown Aye; Councilwoman Campbell Aye; Councilwoman Farrabee Aye; Councilwoman Harper Aye; Councilwoman Mugler Aye; Mayor Gray Aye.
