grant application for RAISE federal funding. The resolution also authorizes the City
Manager to retain consultants and/or engineers to assist in preparation of the grant
application. The deadline for this grant application is July 12, 2021. The anticipated
total project cost for this segment of the VB Trail is up to $15 million, of which the
federal portion requested will be up to $12 million. If awarded, the City would provide a
$3 million local match. -
• Public Information: Advertisement will be as part of the City Council agenda.

CITY COUNCIL'S BRIEFINGS
C-PACE PROGRAM
(Continued)
The next three(3)slides provide an overview of C-PACE:
What is C-PACE?
• Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy and Resiliency(C-PACE)
financing is a funding tool that empowers commercial property owners to
finance energy efficiency,water conservation, renewable energy, and
resiliency projects with no upfront costs.
• Property owners receive long-term, 100%financing from qualified capital
providers, and repay that loan in a similar way to property taxes.
• C-PACE improvements are considered a public benefit because, similar to
how water or sewer infrastructure improvements contribute to the whole of a
community, buildings that conserve resources and or generate free electricity,
can provide positive environmental and resilient impacts.
How does C-PACE work?
• The C-PACE program is a uniform,turn-key program and administration
platform that can be adopted at no cost to the locality that opts in by passing
an enabling ordinance.
• Localities are responsible for recording the assessment and enforcing the lien
in case of foreclosure.
• The Program Administrator markets the program to property owners, service
providers and contractors, underwrites and approves borrower applications,
assists in loan processing as requested by the locality and provides
community outreach on the benefits of C-PACE.

• C-PACE can be used for upgrading existing buildings including major renovations and adaptive
reuse of underutilized buildings as well as new construction.
Here is Virginia Beach C-PACE Program Options:

Referendum Logistics
• Council can request a referendum by simple majority (6 votes)
• Referendum for November 2021 must be filed to Circuit Court
by August 13, 2021
• General Obligation (GO) Bonds will require 8 votes for
authorization
• Follow up ordinances (e.g . , appropriation and revenue) will be
necessary to implement the program
Budget & The City Attorney's Office I City Council Workshop I June 8, 2021 Slide 27
Referendum Logistics : Sequencing
The City Council could take one of two paths:
• PATH #1 : 1980s bond referendum path:
• Public notices & public hearing
• Authorization of bonds subject to approval in referendum (eight votes)
• November Referendum
• Post-referendum direction — program and revenues to support program
• PATH #2: Alternative:
• Request referendum (six votes)
• November Referendum
• If affirmative response:
• Public notices and public hearing
• Debt authorization (eight votes)
• Direction regarding program and revenues to support program
Budget & The City Attorney's Office I City Council Workshop I June 8, 2021 Slide 28
Framing the Question
• APPROACH #1 : 1980s model (1986 Streets and Highways):
• Shall the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, contract a debt and issue its general obligation bonds in
the maximum amount of$40,000,000 pursuant to the City Charter and the Public Finance Act to
provide funds, together with other available funds, to finance continuing development of the City's
street and highway system, including right-of-way acquisition and construction of curbs, gutters,
sidewalks, bikeways, bridges and storm drainage facilities for the following projects: General
Booth Boulevard— Phase II, Ferrell Parkway — Phase IC, Lynnhaven Parkway — Phase V,
Northampton Boulevard— Phase II, Lynnhaven Parkway— Phase VII, Indian River Road— Phase
IV and Independence Boulevard — Phase IIA?
• Note: The resolution requesting referendum costed out each of the projects to total exactly$40,000,000.
• The City took a similar project approach in the 1986 Schools Referendum and the 1987
Recreation
Budget & The City Attorney's Office I City Council Workshop I June 8, 2021 Slide 29
Framing the Question
• APPROACH #2: Broadly worded question:
• Shall the City of Virginia Beach issue its general obligation bonds in the maximum
amount of $567,000,000 pursuant to the City Charter and the Public Finance Act to
provide funds, together with other available funds, to address development and
construction of stormwater needs, recurrent flooding, and flood mitigation measures?
• APPROACH #3: 1980s style list of projects but some discretion for
projects not necessarily defined by the question:
• Shall the City of Virginia Beach issue its general obligation bonds in the maximum
amount of $567,000,000 pursuant to the City Charter and the Public Finance Act to
provide funds, together with other available funds, to address development and
construction of stormwater needs, recurrent flooding, and flood mitigation measures
including but not limited to the following projects: [Demonstrative list of projects]?
