MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING
OF THE
IIONORABLE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE
CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA
April 25, 1977
A Special Meeting of the Council of the City of Virginia Beach,
Virginia, was called to order by Mayor Clarence A. Holland, in
the Conference Room, in the Administration Building, Princess
Anne Borough, on Monday, April 25, 1977, at 11:00 a.m.
Council Members present: John A. Baum, Robert B. Cromwell, Jr.,
George R. Ferrell, John R. Griffin, Mayor Clarence A. Ilolland, J.
Henry McCoy, Jr., Councilwoman Meyera E. Oberndorf, J. Curtis Payne,
Roger L. Riggs, Vice Mayor Patrick L. Standing, Floyd E. Waterfield, Jr.
ITEM #10719
Mayor Holland entertained a motion to permit the Council to

1. Discussion or consideration of employment,
assignment, salaries, discipline or resignation
of public officers, appointees or employees of

4. Consultation with legal counsel and briefing by

On motion by Vice Mayor Standing, and seconded by Councilman Waterfield,
and by recorded vote as follows:
Ayes: Councilmen John A. Baum, Robert B. Cromwell, Jr., George R.
Ferrell, Jolin R. Griffin, Mayor Clarence A. Holland, J. Henry McCoy,
Jr., Councilwoman Meyera E. Oberndorf, J. Curtis Payne, Roger L.
.Iiggs, Vice Mayor Patrick L. Standing, and Floyd E. Waterfield, Jr.
Nays: None
Absent: None
City Council voted to proceed into executive session following the
informal discussion.
ITEM #10720
Mayor Holland stated that Council has had a public hearing on the
budget and Council briefings on the budget and asked Council if
they wished to have any furtber discussion on tbe matter.
Councilman Ferrell stated he was somewhat concerned over the Pendleton
Project. When the project first began two or three years ago it was
fully funded by the State, but now, apparently, the City is going to
put approximately $50,000 into the Pendleton Project this year .
The City Manager stated that the amount was $46,000 in salaries and
$25,000 in matching funds with the City of Chesapeake.
Mayor Holland stated he visited the Pendleton Project and, in his
opinion, the people were doing an excellent job, and for the amount
of money the City is participating in the benefits that come out of
this project are far greater.
Vice Mayor Standing stated the same thing was happening to the Emergency
Medical Services. Although Vice Mayor Standing stated he had no quarrel
with the services the volunteer organizations provide he does feel, however,
that as the budgets get larger the organizations could lose some of their
independence and some of their initiative to be independent.
ITEM #10721
Councilwoman Oberndorf requested information regarding the Employee
Service Award.
The City Manager stated that the Service Awards were something
Council initiated several years ago. It is predominately a
recognition for service and time the employee has given to the City.
The cash awards are given to the employee after he/she has been with
the City 10 years; between 10 and 20 years, 1 percent of the employee's
salary; 20 to 30 years, 2 percent; 30 to 40 years, 4 percent; and,
40 to 50 years, 5 percent of the employee's salary, however, the City
Manager did state that the maximum amount of money any one employee
can receive is $300.00.
ITEM #10722
Councilman Riggs requested Council to consider the possibility of
offering a tax break to homeowners if they use the Solor Energy
system of heating their homes.
The Governor recently signed an ordinance on this matter, and
Councilman Riggs requested Council to consider the possibility.
ITEM #10723
Councilman McCoy asked if the City was going to hire a consultant
regarding the salary increases. If Council does decide to employ
a consultant perhaps it would be wise to form a committee to pick
the consultant, made up of two Council Members and two from staff.
The City Manager stated it would be a study of executive salaries,
and the City could wait to have the consultant cover next years
budget.
ITEM #10724
Mayor Holland stated that since 1968 the Council has had a tax rate
that started at $1.29 and, except for 1972, has had a steady decline
to where the City has decreased the true tax rate by 32.5 percent.
However, while the tax rate decreased assessments increased over
this period of time.
A reserve of five percent is not an uncommon business approach to
having a reserve, and if the City could increase the tax rate by
5 cents it would bring in $1.2 Million, and place this in unallocated
funds it would put the City in a better position in which we would be
better prepared next year in trying to continue balancing our budget and
to have a reserve that would be beneficial to the City.
Vice Mayor Standing stated, in his opinion, the Council was speaking
of two different things: (1) the Reserve for Contingencies, which
you would have for emergencies; and, (2) Reserve that is built up to
hold down a tax increase for next year.
Vice Mayor Standing further stated that if the City needed to raise
taxes to adequately provide services then that can be adequately pre-
sented to the citizens of this City as a real need, however, if you
want to raise taxes to soften a future tax increase, that might be
needed, that's an awfully hard thought to understand.
Mayor Ilolland stated this was not being done just for that purpose
along, because hefeels that a good, sound fiscal responsibility is
a Reserve, just as much as providing services.
Councilman Griffin asked the City Manager if, "He had not been trying
to maintain a budget without a tax increase would he (City Manager)
have had the reserves, or the unappropriated surplus, as low as it
is now?"
The City Manager stated that any administrator would like to have a
sizable reserve, and the reserve of $2.5 Million which was recommended
to remain in a "Working Fund" was of such a size that he could not
recommend a tax increase in order for the fund to be larger.
Councilman Cromwell stated that what concerns him is he has never
known a year to go by where there wasn't an emergency to meet.
ITEM #10725
City Council adjourned the special meeting at 12:00 Noon.

At its meeting of November 24, 1975, City Council accepted the federal
construction grant, land, buildings, personal property and other assets
of the Atlantic Mental Health Center, formerly known as the Atlantic
Mental Hygiene Center Advisory Board, Incorporated.
$30,000 is potentially subject to a tax in the amount of $3,980. The
City takes the position that the Atlantic Mental Health Center is a
tax exempt organization, however, the IRS seems to disagree, and we had
hoped that the IRS review would be accomplished within a relatively
short period of time. However, the matter seems to be prolonged, and as
of this date, there is no resolution of the issue.
Therefore, City Council authorized the City Manager to sign an agreement
with the attorney for the dissolved Atlantic Mental Ilealth Center Board,
which would permit the transfer of funds to the City in return for the
City's willingness to indemnify the Board and its counsel up to an amount
not to exceed $30,000.
