Executive Summary:
House Joint Resolution No. 163 passed during the 1986 Session of the General Assembly, established the Commission on Local Government Structures and Relationships to study the relationships among the Commonwealth's counties, cities, and towns, the desirability of continuing the independent city system, and the problems caused by annexation. At its initial meeting in 1986, the Commission elected Delegate George W. Grayson of James City County as its Chairman and Senator Howard P. Anderson of Halifax County as its vice Chairman. The General Assembly subsequently extended the Commission for another year in 1988 (House Joint Resolution No. 6) and again in 1989 (House Joint Resolution No. 286), with the same membership.
