It also boasts the lowest crime rate in Hampton Roads, with 32. 7 crimes and 2.1 violent crimes per 1, 000 residents last year. After having served two years with the Montclair, New Jersey, Police Department, Jim joined the virginia Beach Police department in 1978 and was promoted through the ranks.

She wishes to aggressively start working to make things happen and identify possibilities for this area. In attending the Focus Group meetings, Council Lady Henley was amazed one suggestion would be to appoint a Task Force for our own "think tank" (members might be some of the people who participated in the focus group) to ident~ specifics for this area. The Planning Commission should be having a Workshop in September re the Plan and then same will be forwarded to Ciry Council in October. Some of the members who are performing research might be identified. Council Lady Henley advised this might be a good opportuniry for a new Virginia Beach Tomorrow study. Other versions were completed in 1976 and 1986. There is actually a portion within this area which will be labeled the Green Village. There are many opportunities within this area. Mayor Sessoms concurred it is time for another study along the lines of Virginia Beach Tomorrow. There are many wonderful bright minds within this community.

Sessoms, Jr., John E. Uhrin, Rosemary Wilson and James L. Wood. Council Members Absent: None INVOCATION: Vice Mayor Louis R. Jones PLEDGE OFALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OFAMERICA Mayor Sessoms DISCLOSED as an officer of TowneBank (which has a corporate office located at 297 Constitution Drive in Virginia Beach), he is directly and indirectly involved in many of TowneBank's transactions. However, due to the size of TowneBank and the volume of transactions it handles, TowneBank has an interest in numerous matters in which he is not personally involved and of which he does not have personal knowledge. In that regard, he is always concerned about the appearance of impropriety that might arise if he unknowingly participates in a matter before City Council in which TowneBank has an interest. Mayor Sessoms also has similar concerns with respect to Prudential Towne Realry, which is an a~liate of TowneBank. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act (the "Act "), it is his practice to thoroughly review each City Council agenda to ident~ any matters in which he might have an actual or potential conflict. If, during his review of an agenda, he identifies a matter in which he has a"personal interest ", as defined by the Act, he will either abstain from voting, or file the appropriate disclosure letter with the City Clerk to be included in the o~cial records of City Council. Mayor Sessoms ' letter of March 24, 2009, is hereby made a part of the record. August 24, 2010 -17- Vice Mayor Jones DISCLOSED, for many years, he served on the Board of Directors of Resource Bank. Three (3) years ago, Fulton Financial Corporation ("Fulton Financial') purchased Resource Bank. On March 31, 2007, Vice Mayor Jones retired from the Board of Directors. Although, he is no longer a Board Member, he owns stock in Fulton Financial and that stock ownership causes him to have a `personal interest" in Fulton Financial. However, due to the size of Fulton Financial and the volume of transactions it handles in any given year, Fulton Financial, or any of the banks that are owned by Fulton Financial, may have an interest in numerous matters in which vice Mayor Jones has no personal knowledge. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government Conflact of Interests Act, it is his practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting of City Council for the purpose of identifying any matters in which he might have an actual or potential conflict. If, during his review, he identifies any matters, vice Mayor Jones will prepare and file the appropriate disclosure letter to be recorded in the o~cial records of City Council. Vice Mayor Jones regularly makes this disclosure. Vice Mayor Jones' letter of April 10, 2007, is hereby made a part of the record.
