ITEM #10628
Mr. Andre' Evans, Commonwealth's Attorney, appeared before Council
at the informal meeting and discussed with Council the "Witness
Ilotline. "
Mr. Evans stated that there will be different colored subpeonas to
make it easier for the witness, such as: Green-Commonwealth subpeona;
Blue-Juvenile subpeona; also the witness will be notified to how he/she
should dress for court, which court and what time to be present.
One of the main plans, and one which would need a Federal Grant, would
be separate witness rooms; and transportation made available to the
witness if he/she has no transportation.
ITEM #10629
The City Manager stated that he was concerned about a report received
last week at the end of the regular Council meeting, where it was
noted that the citizens of this City were having some difficulty
in getting their site plans and permits processed.
The City Manager stated he met with Robert Loher, Director of Permits
and Inspections, C. Oral Lambert, Director of Public Works, and
Robert J. Scott, Director of Planning. It was the opinion of the
tliree directors that the offices have been working together and will
attempt to try to solve any type of hang-up.
The City Manager further stated that if Council knows of any individual
who has problems with his site plan or getting his permit to let him
know immediately.
ITEM #10630
The City Manager stated that on August 2, 1976, the Council
appropriated $30,000 to do a study in human resources in this City
and the possibility of establishing a human resources center in
this City.
It was anticipated that the City may need to construct a $4 Million
facility to combine all of the human resource activities: Mental
Health, Social Services and Health in this City.
The City was and is utilizing a team approach regarding all of
these problems as it cannot be resolved by one departmental
operation.
The study recommended that the building not be constructed, and
the study committee recommended that they not be hired again.
The City Manager introduced Doctor Manny Belfore, of Block-McGibony.
Mr. Belfore stated that Virginia Beach has experienced significant
growth in the last few years, and that the growth rate is expected
to continue from 1976-1980 (21% increase in population), and from
1980 to 1985 there will be an additional increase of 25%.
The study also broke down the population by boroughs, and it was
noted that in the northern portion of the City the population is
93/@o and in the southern portion of the City the population is 7%,
however, the southern portion of the City is one of the areas of
growth.
In deciding whether the facility is needed the study committee
looked into tliree areas:
I .Physician need
0. Indicators of health status
3. Accessibility
Physician need - because if there is a shortage of positions one way
to meet that need is with an ambulatory care need.
Indicators of health status - is to look at the health status of the
community, and if one identifies any health programs, conceivably the
City would build special programs to respond to those problems. And
conceivably those special programs would require a special facility.
Accessibility - has to do with: Are the services the City's providing
convenient to the population on a whole?
The Study Committee recommended the following:
1. An Ambulatory Care Center should not be constructed
at this time.
2. In examining the three criteria and reviewing existing
data the following concerns were recognized, which
should be evaluated by the City Managers Office:
The City Council should encourage the development of
an organized Physician Exchange under the auspices
of the Virginia Beach Medical Society. This would
help improve the accessibility of physicians services
in the City of Virginia Beach.
An organized on going data collection system is needed
for the Departments of Tiealth, Mental Health, and
Social Services. Data should be collected by each
Department at intake in a consistent and orderly
fashion.
The data collected should be defined in specific terms
and evaluated periodically for pertinence and format, and
also should consist minimally of the following elements:
A. Service used by the client.
B. Financial status or pay category
C. Socioeconomic information, specifically con-
sisting of: Educational leval, income range,
whether the client rents or owns, employment
status, number of dependents, race, whether the
client owns transportation, ethnic group and
language.

Plans are nearing completion for the opening of the Virginia Beach
Recreation Center. It is anticipated that the Center will open on
April 15, 1977.
Because this opening date was not known while preparing for the
fiscal year 1977 Operating Budget, custodial, utility, and trans-
portational requirements for the Center were not included.
therefore, City Council voted to approve an appropriation of $49,778
which is to be transferred from the Reserve for Contingencies - Salary
Adjustments. This appropriation would fund the janitorial, utility,
and transportational services for the Center through June 30, 1977.

In order to equalize City Council's appropriations for the fiscal
year 1977 Drug Abuse Program with the actual grant award, the
Program's budget needs to be reduced by $17,207. The reduction
is due mainly to postponing the start of the Jail-Drug Counselor
Program to July 1, 1977. Funds for this program will be made
