AGENDA ITEM
ITEM:
An Ordinance to Amend and Reordain the City Code Pertaining to
Background Investigations of Applicants for Public Employment and
Volunteer Positions
MEETING DATE: September 2, 2003
Background: On July 1,2003, City Council adopted an ordinance that amended
the attached City Code provision pertaining to background investigations of
applicants for public employment and volunteer positions. Legislation enacted
during the 2003 Session of the General Assembly required the City to adopt an
ordinance that requires that applicants who are offered or accept employment with
the City to submit to a national FBI background check, which includes fingerprint
analysis, in addition to the local and state checks that were already being
conducted.
Before the FBI will begin processing national FBI background checks for a locality,
the locality is required to submit the adopted ordinance to the FBI for its approval.
The FBI provided the City with a model ordinance, which the City used to revise City
Code § 2-78. Upon adoption of the ordinance by City Council, the City submitted
the adopted ordinance for approval by the FBI. The FBI now is requiring two
technical amendments, neither of which is substantive in nature. Although the new
language that the FBI is now requiring was not included in the model ordinance
provided to the City by the FBI, the FBI is unwilling to process the City's national
background checks unless these new changes are made.
Public Information: This ordinance will be advertised in the same manner other
Council agenda items are advertised.
Recommendations: Adopt Ordinance.
Attachments: Ordinance.
Recommended Action: Adopt

(b) In addition, under the provisions of Code of Virqinia
Sections 19.2-389 and 15.2-1503.1 and in the interest of public
welfare and safety, the director of human resources or his designee
who shall be located in a government entity shall require any

department, fire department or emergency medical services
department to submit to fingerprinting and to provide personal
descriptive information to be forwarded along with the applicant's
fingerprints through the Central Criminal Record Exchange to the
Federal Bureau of Investigation for the purpose of obtaining
criminal history information regarding such applicant. Where
authorized under the provisions of Code of Virginia section 15.2-
1503.1, the city may require such applicants to pay for the cost of
fingerprinting or a criminal records check, or both.
(c) Criminal history information considered in accordance
with this section shall include outstanding warrants, pending
criminal charges and records of conviction. Records of dispositions
which occurred while an applicant was considered a juvenile shall
not be referenced unless authorized by court order, federal
regulation or state statute authorizing such dissemination.

with this section shall be used solely to assess eligibility for
public employment or service, and shall not be disseminated to any
person not involved in the assessment process.

background check, has required these minor technical changes, none of which are substantive in
nature.

MEETING DATE:
Adam Thoroughgood House Acquisition
September 2, 2003
~1~ Background: The Adam Thoroughgood House (the "Thoroughgod House")is
one of the oldest surviving English colonial brick houses in Virginia. Adam Thoroughgood
~s generally considered the founding settler of Virginia Beach and he ~s thought to have
named the Lynnhaven River. The building was restored in the 1950's through the efforts of
Henry Clay Hofheimer II and the Adam Thoroughgood Foundation. Although the building
was located in Princess Anne County, the Foundation gave the building and property to
the City of Norfolk in 1961 Norfolk operated the Thoroughgood House as a historic house
museum for nearly forty years. Initially administered through the Norfolk Museum of Arts
and Sciences, the Chrysler Museum of Art has been responsible for the operabon s~nce
1971.
In 1998, due to budgetary considerations, the Chrysler Museum reduced the
Thoroughgood House operating hours by seventy percent, making it open and available to
the general public only on Saturday and Sunday (11 hours per week). In October 1999,
the City of Virginia Beach entered into an agreement with the Chrysler Museum and the
City of Norfolk to operate the Thoroughgood House. This was done ~n order to ensure
more reasonable public access to the historic site. Virginia Beach has operated the
Thoroughgood House 39 hours per week s~nce November 1999 through the Department of
Museums and Cultural Arts, with an annual budget of $88,440 plus direct services from the
Building Maintenance and Landscape Services divisions. Annual attendance is
approximately 10,000 and annual revenues generated are over $15,000.
Virginia Beach City staff has been working with Norfolk City staff to acquire the
Thoroughgood House and the collection of objects and artifacts from Norfolk and the
Chrysler Museum. The C~ty of Norfolk has agreed to convey to Virginia Beach the two
parcels of land (approximately 4.229 acres) and all buildings that comprise the
Thoroughgood House property By Deed of Gift, the Chrysler Museum has agreed to g~ve
Virginia Beach the collection of objects and artifacts currently housed and on display in the
Thoroughgood House. The C;ty of Virginia Beach has agreed to make a $250,000
donation to the Chrysler Museum, payable in five equal annual installments beginning in
December 2004 secured by a Promissory Note
