Memorandum of Agreement with DRPT: Council authorized the city manager and city attorney to execute a memorandum of agreement with the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation to permit the Virginia Breeze (Tidewater route) to stop once daily at the transportation center without consideration, subject to coordination with WADA operations and the city attorney's final review of any material changes.
