CITY COUNCIL `S BRIEFING
SCHOOL BOARD PRESENTATION
4:00 P.M.
Chairman Dan Edwards, Virginia Beach School Board, provided information re budgetary questions of
the City Council. The School Board Budget will be presented to City Council the middle of next month.
Chairman Edwards requested Vice Chair William J. Brunke, IV, provide information re revenues
(particular local and state) and the interaction between state and local funds.
Vice Chair Brunke hoped, through his presentation, there would be a better understanding of some of the
School's Revenue sources. The first `pie chart" represented $789-Million of School funds ($639-Million
of the Schools' Operating Budget is included). The Capital Improvement Program is not included. The
Operating Budget is funded primarily from federal, state and local dollars. Every component of the
revenue stream is contained within the Operating Budget. The School's Operating Budget has categorical
grants, which represents $82-Million. These dollars are primarily federal. These Categorical Grants are
separated from other funds by law and are generally designated for specific purposes and their uses are
restricted to that purpose. Also, included in this chart, are other funds. There are $67-Million of other
funds in this chart. The source of those funds runs the gamut of federal, state and local including items
such as Athletic School, Service Operations, Instructional Technology, School Equipment, School
Vending and Textbooks. Included in this are $25-Million "Stimulus Funds ". This does not include $14-
Million in Job Funds, which has not been appropriated.

- Board will sustain mandated minimums, but

MARKET SALARY SURVEY RESULTS
S:OS P.M.
The City Manager introduced Regina Hilliard, Director -Human Resources Department, to present the
most recent Market Salary Survey conducted cooperatively with all the Cities in the Region.
Mrs. Hilliard introduced Gil Forbes -Interim Staffing and Compensation Services Manager, and
Michelle Dearborn -Business Applications Specialist. These personnel have been heavily involved in the
Market Salary Survey process. Market Salary Surveys have always been conducted by Human Services;
however, it was not until 1995, upon a total review of the City's Compensation system, a program was
established re the method if implementing Market Salary Surveys. As most of the job applications were
from the Hampton Roads area, it was decided to utilize the surrounding cities of Norfolk, Portsmouth,
Chesapeake, Hampton and Newport News as the "market ". As close to `half of the City employees were
at their pay range maximum, it was also decided that the comparison point for the Monthly Salary
Surveys would be the maximum of the pay range. As the largest Municipality in the State, and one known
for excellence and creativity, it was decided that Virginia Beach would have a pay philosophy stating.•
"We would be the best paying Municipal employer in Hampton Roads. "
• Initial Survey: 1995
• Strategy
O Annual Survey
O Market Cities -Norfolk, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News

Summary
The City has yet to experience the full impact of withholding Market Salary Survey implementation:

Concerns:
