Oberndorf called to order the CITY MANAGER'S PRESENTATIONS of the VIRGINIA BEACH CITY COUNCIL in the Council Chamber, City Hall Building, on Tuesday, August 3, 1993, at 9:05 A.M. Council Members Present: John A. Baurn, Linwood O. Branch, III, Robert W. Clyburn, Robert K Dean, Louis R. Jones, Paul J. Lanteigne, Nancy K Parker and Mayor Meyera E. Oberndorf City Council Members Absent: James W. Brazier, Jr. (ENTERED: 12:26 P.M.) John D. Moss (ENTERED: 10:15 A.M.) Vice Mayor William D. Sessoms, Jr. (ENTERED: 10:42 A.M.) -3- CITY MANAGER'S PRESENTATIONS HURRICANE PROTECTION PROJECT ITEM # 37067 (Continued) Robert N. Pretlow, Jr., Corps of Engineers Study Manager for the Project, advised the VIrginia Beach oceanfront is vulnerable to hu"icanes and related storms. Mr. Pretlow presented, through the utilization of slides, a progress report on the Corps' current study and proposed new plan at VIrginia Beach. The highlights of the new plan include a lower wall, a new wider boardwalk, a 1o.rger beach, pleasing access structures and enhancement of the storm drainage and dune system. The Corps' Investigations over the years have focused on the Atlantic Avenue shoreline between Rudee Inlet and 89th Street. The shoreline area back to Atlantic Avenue includes businesses and homes with a total assessed value of approximately $290-MILllON. This shoreline includes six miles of the Czty's most highly used recreational beaches. Estimates indicate that over 2-1/2-MILLION tourist a year visit this area. A major portion of the shoreline segment between Rudee Inlet and 58th Street has seen rapid development as a resort area and features hotel, retail establishments and tourist attractions. Unfortunately many of these buildings lie along a boardwalk and bulkhead containing sections over 60 years old. This structure offers only limited protection for minor coastal storm activity. The shoreline segment between 58th Street and Fort Story is entirely residential. It is fronted by a vegetated dune system which varies in heIght and in places offers only limited protection from minor storms. The critical element is the exposure of the oceanfront to damages from severe coastal storms. Over the past 70 years, fifteen major storms have threatened VIrginia Beach. The largest storm of record in terms of water level and storm surge was the August 1933 Hu"icane. The March 1962 "Ash Wednesday" Storm was the largest in terms of damages. WIthin the past ten years, four major storms came very close: Hurricanes Diana, GlorÛl, Charlie and Bob. The Plan recommended in 1989 to solve the Beach's storm and erosion problems created the following City concerns: Wall Height Beach Size Level of Protection Project Aesthetic Storm Drainage Mr. Pretlow advised the Components of Alternative Plans: Walls Dunes Berms Interior Drainage Architectural Features A Plan has been identified, which maximizes Federal participation while addressing the desires of the City. Between Rudee Inlet and 58th Street, the Plan calls for a system of protection, consisting of a Seawall, Boardwalk and Beach Berm. The Seawall will become an integral part of the new Boardwalk that will be constructed over the existing Boardwalk. About 3-1/2-MILLION cubic yards of sand will be placed in front of the new seawall to form a higher and wider beach. In addition, the Federal Government will pay 65% of the cost to maintain this beach over the fifty year life of the project. The Seawall will be constructed approximately 9 feet seaward of the existing wall and will be an integral part of a new wire boardwalk placed over the exIsting one. The new boardwalk will average only about 2 feet higher than it is presently. The beach size will be doubled with the Beach Berm sloping gradually to the ocean providing a dry beach averaging about 300 feet wide. The top of the boardwalk is flush with the top of the seawall. This accomplishes two important objectives. Fzrst, it eliminates the wall as a vISual barrier to the Beach and makes the boardwalk and the seawall a single visual unit. It eliminates the requirement for openings in the wall to provide access to the beach. WIthout the openings, there are no storm gates for the City to maintain or close prior to a 11Uljor storm threat. Recognizing important concerns, the proposed plan also includes architectural features designed to make the project not only functionally sound, but visually appealing. Much consideration has been given to appropriate access stairs and ramps, wall treatments and beach overlooks. August 3, 1993 -4- CITY MANAGER'S PRESENTATIONS HURRICANE PROTECTION PROJECT ITEM # 37067 (Continued) The Corps is coordinating with the Mayor ~ Committee for the Disabled concerning suitable access facilities. On the north end, the Dune and Beach Berm system has been enhanced between 58th Street and Fort Story to provide an adequate elevation and width for storm protection. The Dune will have a minimum top elevation of 18 feet and a minimum top width of 25 feet. The Beach Berm and sloping grade will have the same dimensions as the south end. Enhancement will only take place in the areas of the existing Dune and Beach Berm where these dimensions do not presently exist. Dune crossovers will be provided at appropriate locations that blend well with the natural environment and will also provide required access for disabled persons. The Corps estimates the proposed plan would realize approxzmately $12-MILLION in annual benefits in such areas as storm damage reduction, increased recreation and other benefits. The plan would reduce flood insurance rates for both commercial and residential properties. Mr. Pretlow cited Local Benefas: Stronger Boardwalk and Dune System Protected Business Interests Stabilized Job Base Stabilized City Tax Base Growth in Tourism In comparing the Federal Plan with the City Plan, they are essentially the same, feature by feature with one exception: Storm Drainage. The Storm Drainage with the Federal Plan encompasses gravity discharge through a series of submarine pipe lines extending well offshore. The existing drainage lines leading to the boardwalk area will be combined in the area behind a new seawall and the existing boardwalk and fed into the new pipes. At the north end, the new drainage will tie into the City's pump system already in place. The estimated cost of the proposed Federal plan zs $80-MILLION. Current cost sharing requirements would require 35% from the local sponsor, which includes credits for land, easements, rights-of-way, relocation and disposal, approximately $28-MILLION. The Federal share is 65% or $52-MILLION. The cost for any options desired by the City including pump systems at the south end would be in addition to the City's 35%. The first payment of the City's share would be needed by July 1995 with the balance in two equal installments each year, thereafter. Although beach surveys will be utilized to determine what actual nourishment of the beach will be required, it is estimated the beach will be required to be maintained on the average of once every three years. Beach Nourishment Costs Federal ocal $5.5-MILLION Total Mr. Thoren advised the City will probably still be responsible at the north end for the collection of all the storm water and bringing it to the line of protection, which would be either the increased dunes or where the bulkhead ends at 58th Street and believed the Army Corps of Engineers would agree to participate in carrying it offshore from that line of protection. Colonel Perkins advised it was a privilege and pleasure to work with the City Staff in terms of developing the Beach Erosion Control and Hurricane Protection Plan. The cooperatzon exhibited by both staffs has been exemplary Colonel Perkins appreczated the opportunity to present the Plan to City Council. August 3, 1993 -2- CITY MANAGER'S PRESENTATIONS HURRICANE PROTECTION PROJECT ITEM # 37067 9:05 A.M. Carl Thoren, Department of Public Works, advised Beach Erosion Control and Hu"icane Protection is primarily a storm damage reduction and storm protection plan designed to reduce erosion along the City's oceanfront. The project limits run from Rudee Inlet at the south end to Eighty-ninth Street at the north end. This encompasses a distance of approximately 6 miles The main components of the project consist of a seawal~ which will extend from Rudee Inlet to 58th Street, and improvements to the existing dune system, as necessary, from 58th Street to 89th Street. For the entire reach of the project from Rudee to 89th Street, the beach berm will be raised and widened In 1989, the u.S. Army Corps of Engineers presented their plan for this improvement. This plan called for a concrete seawall with a curved parapet top which would extend to an elevation 15.7 feet above mean sea level. The sand beach would remain essentially the same with no major improvements to the beach area. Stormwater would be handled essentially as it is today with discharge through the seawall and drain over the top of the beach. The degree of protection ranged from over a lSD-year protection at the north end of the project to approximately a 54-year degree of protection at the south end of the project. There was serious concern that the height of the wall at the very south end of the boardwalk could be as much as 5 feet above the surface of the existing boardwalk. The height of the wall would be imposing and there was mixed reaction among City Council Members, Civic Groups and the Hotel/Motel Association. After discussion with various special interest groups and briefings to City Council, the City held several meetings with the u.S. Army Corps of Engineers encompassing many months. The Corps agreed to reinvestigate their recommendation. In 1991, the Corps embarked on a reformulatzon effort. Mr. Thoren recognized the following members in attendance: v,rginÙl Beach Erosion Commission Ernestine Middleton - Chairman U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Colonel Andrew M. Perkins, Jr. Commander of the Norfolk District and District Engineer Roland W. Culpepper, Jr. Chief of Programs and Project Management Division Robert V. Ogle Chief of Planning Division James R. Creighton, Jr. Project Manager Robert N. Pretlow, Jr. Study Manager for Project William Brown Public Affairs Officer - Norfolk District Diana L. Bailey Deputy Public Affairs Officer August 3, 1993 -5- CITY MANAGER'S PRESENTATIONS SCHOOL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM ITEM # 37068 9:45 A.M. The City Manager referenced his memorandum advising the FY 1993/94-1998-99 Capital Improvement Program document would be presented during the City Council Session of September 14, 1993. This would allow the City Staff to incorporate into the document direction provided by City Council at their goal setting Retreat on August 13 and 14, 1993. Copies of the Capittd Improvement Program Proposal approved by the School Board on July 13, 1993, were forwarded to City Council. Said copies are hereby made a part of the record. Mayor Oberndorf referenced possible relocation of Linkhorn Park and Seatack Elementary Schools due to Base Realignment and Closure Commission concerns relative to Oceana Naval Air Base. Dr. Sidney L. Faucette, Superintendent - VIrginia Beach City Schools, advised the School Board has discussed the aforementioned schools. At this point in tzme, however, this has not been incorporated into the Capital Improvement Program. The noise effect of the planes from Oceana is far greater at Seatack than Linkhorn; and, the direct path of the planes is at Seatack Elementary School. The School Board would be most pleased to make adjustments within City Council's guidance. Mayor Oberndorf advised these schools were built approximately fifty years ago and it was an auxiliary field as opposed to the Oceana Master Jet Base. The City Manager advised in order to facilitate guidance, two project sheets will be prepared for inclusion in the document to begin the process of attempting to identify the sites available within the community. Dr. Faucette advised last year the City Council and School Board approved a Capital Improvement Program that reaffirmed their commitment to public education in VIrginia Beach. The plan incorporated sufficient classroom space to accommodate reasonable class size ratios, provide adequate housing for special programs, and reduce the school divisions's dependence upon portable housing. In an effort to maintain these priorities, relatively few changes were proposed in this year's CIP. An issue that increases the first year of the CIP entailed a decision for the School Board to vacate Courthouse Elementary, not add on to the facility to house students, but to move the Pendleton Project into this facility. Discussion also involved building a new elementary school. Beyond these expenses. the major increases in the CIP involve $500,000 for site acquisition. There is also an increase of $1.2-MILLION concerning enlarging Kempsville High School, rather than vacating Kempsville Elementary School and making the building a part of Kempsville High School, a satellite campus. Kempsville Elementary School would be relocated to Kemps Landing Middle School when Larkspur comes on line. Dr. Faucette advised as schools lean more towards energy efficiency and the nonuse of windows, relying on HVAC systems to move air, calculations were not made in the event the HVAC system did not work correctly. Consequently, air quality problems exist. The cost to correct this sztuation has not been determined. The School system has been conferring with a consultant from Vlrgima Polytechnic Institute. Information has been prepared for parents concerning the situation and its effects. Dr. Faucette has been advised the School system has been informed by medical experts these air quality problems might affect 10Cfo of the adults, but have no effect on children. If there is any student who feels they might be affected, the School Board will allow that child to attend any school in the system. Any School employee will be granted a transfer, if they feel they will be affected by air quality problems. The School Board is currently conferring with the City Attorney concerning mcluding air quality in contracts with the School's architects. An auxiliary gymnasium does not have the seating available for viewing events as in the larger gymnasiums, is much smaller than a regular gymnasium, and is strictly a playing facility, i. e a mat room for wrestling. Dr. Faucette cited page 22 - Capacity and Projected Membership (K-5) 1993-94 of the proposed CIP, which indicated the percentage of over and under capacity. Dr. Faucette advised year-round education does add to the capacity for housing children; however, educationally zt has not been a popular approach. Dr. Faucette will provide information concerning the design capacity of each school and any modifications that were made to increase or decrease that design capacity and the program capacity effects specifically on each school. August 3, 1993 -6- CITY MANAGER'S PRESENTATIONS SCHOOL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM ITEM # 37068 (Continued) Mayor Oberndorf referenced the Status Report on Public Education in the Commonwealth. This was a presentation by the Vzrignia Beard of Education and the Department of Education to the Vzrginia Municipal League on July 29, 1993. Mayor Oberndorf expressed appreciation to Dr. Faucette and his staff and introduced the following School Board members in attendance: Rear Admiral Donald L. Felt, Robert W. Hall and Edward G. Kreyling, Jr. August 3, 1993 -7- CITY MANAGER'S PRESENTATIONS CABLE TELEVISION - CONSUMER PROTECTION AND COMPETITION ACT OF 1992 ITEM # 37069 10:46 A.M. E. Dean Block, Director, Management and Budget, introduced Muriel Frasher, to present information relative the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992. Ms. Frasher advised on October 5, 1992, Congress passed Public Law 103-385 Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992. As the result of a commissioned survey, it was discovered cable rates had risen three times the consumer price index since the deregulation of Cable in 1984. TIME FRAME OUTLINE April 15, 1993 A temporary Freeze is applied to Cable Rates by the FCC. June 17, 1993 Commercial Broadcast Carriers had to elect either a retransmission or must carry status. August 1, 1993 Cable operators notified subscribers of any channel changes that are to be made. September 1, 1993 Cable operators will start broadcasting with the revised channel line-up. September 1, 1993 Localities may submit their certification application to the FCC to act as a rate regulator. Unless otherwise notified, the locality is granted authority to act as a regulator 30 days from the date of application. October 1, 1993 The earliest date that a locality could be certified to act as a rate regulator Although the original freeze was 120 days, it has been extended by the FCC to November 15, 1993. The City has 120 days to issue regulations as a locality that are consistent with the FCC regulations. The City 's Franchise Agreement would be utilized as the base line for regulations and brought into compliance with the FCC regulations. If the City should chose to submit their certification to act as a rate regulator, they would only be permitted to regulate the basic tier of cable. The FCC will regulate the expanded tier and there will be no regulation of rates on the premium or pay-for-view offerings. The City's may regulate the following aspects of the basic tier within guidelines established under the FCC regulations: Service Rates, Equipment Charges, Installation Charges, Billing Formats and Subsequent Rate Increases. Service rates on the basic tier may be measured against the FCC "benchmark" or calculated on a "cost- of-service" basis. The "benchmark" has been developed by the FCC to compare the rates of cable operators I services between areas of competitive and non -competitive operations. If the cable operators I rates exceed the "benchmark" the operator may apply for rates on a "cost-of-service" basis. A "cost- of-service" calculation is extremely involved, and includes such factors as capital costs, maintenance of equipment costs, annual operation expenses, etc. The major cable operator for VIrginia Beach is in the process of evaluating basic tier rates using the "benchmark" method. The expanded tier is regulated by the FCC on a complaint basis. A complaint basis can be filed either by the City or any individual subscriber. August 3, 1993 -8- CITY MANAGER'S PRESENTATIONS CABLE TELEVISION - CONSUMER PROTECTION AND COMPETITION ACT OF 1992 ITEM # 37069 (Continued) Muriel Frasher cited the probable City Council actions.. Take no action. Apply for regulatory certification, but do not exercise the authority. Obtain certification and proceed with the regulatory process. Obtain certification, proceed with regulatory activities and pursue possible regional agreements with other jurisdictions who share the same cable operator. Petition the FCC to act as the regulator on the basic tier. BY CONSENSUS, an ordinance relative the City becoming a cable reguÚltor will not be SCHEDULED for the City Council Session of August 10, 1993. August 3, 1993 -9- CITY MANAGER'S PRESENTATIONS PENDING ITEMS UPDATE 11:25 A.M. ITEM # 37070 Concerning the Pending Items List, Mayor Oberndorf referenced the proposal for Virginia Beach to become involved in long range Capital Investments with the Norfolk Symphony. Mayor Oberndorf advised it would be appropriate to have the Arts and Humanities Commission review same and pass on their recommendation to City Council. ITEM # 3707Oa Councilman Baum referenced the correspondence from Edward Vaughan, President - VIrginia Beach Farm Bureau dated July 27, 1993, concerning bicycle traffic in the rural southern areas. Signs have been erected on country roads with a bicycle on the top and" Share the Road" depicted below. An official of a bikers, group had requested this action of City Staff. The effect is to encourage greater use of rural roads by biker groups from urban areas. Most rural hlghways have narrow pavements and many double yellow lines because of frequent curves. Said letter was distributed to Members of City Council and is hereby made a part of the record. The City Manager will prepare a report for City Council relative this concern. Mayor Oberndorf suggested the Greenways, Trails and Bikeways Committee provide information relative safe areas for this type of activity as opposed to utilizing major highways. ITEM # 37071 Council Lady Parker referenced the noise ordinance and the concerns associated with the amphitheatre and race track. The City Manager advised there are national standards regarding noise. Copies of ordinances are being secured from other areas and a DRAFT Ordinance has been prepared. A definite noise standard might be established for stationery sources, as well as a different approach for the mobile sources (i.e. boom boxes, etc.). Council Lady Parker also mentioned the noise from jet skies which do not have mufflers. ITEM # 37072 Council Lady Parker referenced the land use around the proposed horse racing facility. Concern has been expressed relative the types of land use which will be allowed. The City Manager has requested the Planning Staff prepare a report relative a special district in the perimeter area of the track. ITEM # 37073 Councilman Moss referenced the August 17, 1993, Briefing to City Council by the Secretary of Transportation and Director of the Department of Transportation concerning transportation funding. Councilman Moss had distributed a report to City Council advising the highway trust funds in terms of allocations relative to revenues available is $4-BILLION per year short. Councllman Moss referenced the reports concerning moss transit and the new standards as well as the experience with ridership and cost. Copies of same had been distributed to the City Manager. ITEM # 37074 Councilman Dean advised concerns of adjacent residents to the Buffington Area, which had been mentioned as a possible consideration for the proposed amphitheater project. The old Pungo Airfield was suggested as a possible location. The City Manager advised standards for the types of acts that will appear at the proposed amphitheatre can be decided upon by the City Council. A list of featured artists who appeared at the amphitheatres in Raleigh and Richmond was distributed to Members of City Council. August 3, 1993 - 10 - ITEM # 37075 Mayor Meyera E.

The COIG wished rather than having all funds go into lTUlintenance, funding would be increased for new starts. To meet the main mission of the CO/G, two classes of grants would be established. One, a category for "new starts", which would consist of a two-year grant, after which these funds would come from private sources; and, Second, those organIzations receiving grants would have a declining balance over a 5- year period. BY CONSENSUS, City Council CONCURRED with the establishment of two classes of grants: One, a category for "new starts", and, Two, for "lTUlintenance organizations". August 3, 1993 --- --- - 22 - ~ UNFINISHED BUSINESS ITEM # 37086 ADD-ON Council Lady Parker expressed concern relative the amphitheatre and the type of entertainment offered. A list of featured artists who appeared at the amphitheatres in Raleigh and Richmond was distributed to Members of City Council. A copy of the Request for Proposal prepared for the market and financial feasibility study for the proposed amphitheatre project was distributed to all Members of Czty Council. Council Lady Parker expressed concern as to the limited quantity of detail and the cost of the Price Waterhouse study. August 3, 1993 T - - - - 23 - Imr1...lll.=lU UNFINISHED BUSINESS ITEM # 37087 ADD-ON Dr. Lisa Handley - Election Data Services, relative the issue of Reapportionment, presented statistical, demographic and voting pattern analysis on proposed alternative electoral plans: Existing 7-4 Plan, CCO Plan, and MODIFIED 7 -4 Plan. Dr. Handley advised she was requested to examine the two electoral plans and compare to the current plan, determining if the two alternative plans would pass Constitutional and Statutory standards and preclear the Justice Department. Dr. Handley cited CONSTITUTION AND STATUTORY CONSIDERATIONS: (A) u.s. Constitutional Requirements 1. One person, one vote standard (14th Amendment protection and against malapportionment. 2. 14th/15th Amendment protection against intentional racial discrimination. 3. 14th Amendment protection against egregious political gerrymandering. (B) Federal Statutory requirements. 1. Voting Rights Act protection against minority vote dilution. (C) VIrginia State Constitutional requirements. 1. Contiguity 2. Compactness (D) Additional Requirements Because VIrginia is a jurisdiction covered by Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, any plan adopted: Cannot be retrogressive with regard to minority voting strength. Cannot have the intent or effect of diluting minority voting strength. Currently the City of VIrginia Beach has an Eleven (11) member at-Úlrge election system with residency requirements attached to seven of the seats. The residency districts vary widely in population: Kempsville -144,393 (2) Blackwater - 966. Because these are simple residency districts and vote a city wide vote on all eleven seats, thIs system has held to be constitutional. The Modified 7-4 Plan is an attempt to eliminate some of the disparities in population. This plan combines the two smallest residency districts, Pungo and Blackwater, and divides the largest, Kempsville, in 'half. The entire jurisdiction votes on every seat therefore this plan passes the u.S. Constitutional Requirement of one person, one vote. This plan should pass both Constitutional muster and Voting Rights Act protection against minority vote dilution. This plan is not retrogressive against minority voting strength. One of the advantages of the plan is the City Council would still be elected at-large. There would be no need to redraw district lines every ten years. Residency districts are more equal in population. The major disadvantages entail minority groups tend to look disfavorably on at-large election systems and campaigns tend to be more expensive. August 3, 1993 --- - 24- I1w..1ll.=.U.l UNFINISHED BUSINESS ITEM # 37087 (Continued) ADD-ON The Council of Civic Organizations Plan is not an at-large system. It institutes a mixed plan. There are seven single member districts and four Council representatives would continue to be elected at large. These seven single member districts vary in population from 55,067 to 59,122. The total population deviation of this plan is 7.2%. The highest concentration of minority voters would be found in the Bayside District, 19.4%. The major advantages of the CCO plan is it combines the best features of the At-Large election system with the best features of the single member district. It also creates election districts that are approximately equal in size. The major disadvantage of this particular plan, besides requiring submission to the Justice Department, is it does nothing to provide minorities with a better opportunity than the current plan to elect candidates of choice. The single member district component of the CCO Plan does meet constitutional standards in terms of the 14th Amendment - one person, one vote. The CCO Plan was drawn utilizing existing precinct lines. Minority districts cannot be fragmented. The Plan is not retrogressive with regard to minority voting strength. Campaigning in single member districts is less expensive. District lines would have to be redrawn every ten years. Because of the fragmentation component and highest minority concentration is only 19.4%, this particular Plan does not do a better job reflecting minority voting strength in Vzrginia Beach. Council Moss advised the Council of Civic Organizations, after submission of the aforementioned plan, formerly changed their plan to a ten district plan. Councilman Dean also advised this Plan originally came from the Mayor's Commission on Reapportionment chaired by Don Clark. It was never compiled originally by the Council of Civic Organizations. The NAACP proposes a very narrow voting district that follows Vzrginia Beach Boulevard. Districts that are bizarre in shape can be challenged and the Justice Department might view the NAACP Plan as problematic. BY CONSENSUS, City Council shall SCHEDULE for the City Council Session of August 10, 1993: Discussion of Reapportionment Concepts: 7-4 Plan Modified 7-4 Plan 7 District - 4 At-Large Plan (Former CCO Plan) Ordinances related to these concepts will be prepared for distribution to City Council and SCHEDULED for the City Council Session of August 24, 1993.
