Calling for the city to agree to a memorandum of understanding or mou. And submit an application to buy light rail cars. All by april 30th. Virginia beach city manager dave hansen.

Mayor will sessoms said, if there is a referendum, state funding wont be affected because of that memorandum of understanding. Im liz palka, 10 on you side. Toll patrol goes to the legislature.
