ITEM #63861
(Continued)
Mr. Arvay advised since beginning his career with the Ciry twenty-one (21) months ago, he has worked
diligently with each Department in assessing the need for this Master Technology Plan. Mr. Arvay began
this process by looking at the "3Ps ": People, Processesand Product. Mr. Arvay advised that execution
without strategy results in rowing in circles faster. IT cannot be a strategic partner when there is no
strategy and he feels the City should always be in year 1 of a S year strategy.•
Master Technology Plan
Why do we need one?
r The City of Virginia Beach has a robust citywide strategic planning process, recognized by
outside experts as a quality process with powerful results.
i For over a decade, ComIT did not have an IT stategy or strategic plan to supportthe citywide
strategic plan.
r City leaders were asking for an improved service delivery and customer focused IT
organization.
r ComIT also lacked critical mechanisms to optimally govern and manage IT within the City (e.g.,
investment prioritization, technology architecture, lack of performance management and
measurement).
CtyofV'rginiaBeathlTStrategyandROadmap lune2014
Mr. Arvay introduced Mr. Perkins. Mr. Perkins expressed his appreciation to Mr. Arvay and the entire
City Staff for their work in completing this project. After meeting with every Department, below are keys
facts in the City's organization:
Master Technology Pian
Let's Recap where we are Today as an Organization
City Perspeccive
;- ComlTcan be complez and confusing to deal with from a customer perspective.
r ComIT is responsive and heroic at times when it comes to resolving IT issues.
r The perception is that service costs are too high and projects are often underestimated.
-r Most of the ComIT projeMS are focused on individual departments, with little to no emphasis
on cross-departmental collaboration for IT solutions.
. ComIT is very reactive versus proactive and lacks transparency.
Y Services and projects delivered by Com1T are getting better, but are still short of customer
expectations. City of Virginia Beach IT Strategy and Roadmap lune 2014

Understanding Business Demand
Through our i terviews and foc s g up meetings we identified specific needs for each agency and related
communities of interest. eut, we also noted several cross-cutting themes...
. Anotysis and R<portin9. All City Departments ask for simpler and more direct access to the mos(
complete and up-ro-date data and information needed to suDDOrt decision-making.
. On-LineAccess to City Services. Citizens and 6usiness customers increasingly ezpect online access to City
services - induding payment of bills, fees and fnes, submittal of permit applications and plans, checking
the staNS of applications and requests for service.
. Transporency into City Operatbns. Customers are demanding transparency in[o the City's business
operations - including simple access to current budget and fiscal information.
• Mobile ComputinB. /+rapidly growing part of [he Ciry's business operations now depends on mobile
ac<ess to information systems - to upload and download data from the feld.
. Conten[ /DOCUm<nt/ Management. Many of the Ciry's business processes [oday are paper and labor-
intensive and involve manual rou[ing of documents for approval. Digitizing City 6usiness
documents/forms and automating workflow could help streamline these processes.

Evolving to a fully wstomertentric and service-optimized IT organization is a
chailenging journey that requires fundamental changes in the way ComIT relates to its

involves a commitment to defining and delivering quality technology services and
measuring performance to ensure that we consistently meet the expectations of our
customers.
CryofVirginiaBeachlTStrategyandROadmap lune2034In FY2014, COMIT initiated a new mobile applications development program. This prograin was started
as the City saw a 60 % increase in the number of visits from mobile devices to vbgov.com from 2012 -

framework of a hybrid approach to development:

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
Realty, which is an affiliate 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 identify 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 Ciry Clerk to be included in the official records of City Council. Mayor Sessoms' letter of
March 24, 2009, is hereby made a part of the record.

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 x'inancial, 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 Conflict of Interests Act, it is his pYactice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting
of Ciry 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 .Iones will prepare and file the
appropriate disclosure letter to be recorded in the official records of Ciry Council. Vice Mayor Jones
regularly makes this disclosure. Vice Mayor Jones' letter of April 10, 2007, is hereby made a part of the
record.
Council Lady Rosemary Wilson DISCLOSED she is a Real Estate Agent affiliated with Prudential Towne
Realty ("Prudential ). Because of the nature of Real Estate Agent affiliation, the size of Prudential, and
the volume of transactions it handles in any given year, Prudential has an interest in numerous matters in
which she is not personally involved and of which she does not have personal knowledge. In order to
ensure her compliance with both the letter and the spiYit of the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interests Act, it is her practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting of City Council for the
purpose of identifying any matters in which she might have an actual or potential conflict. If, during her
review she identifies any matters, she will prepare and file the appropriate disclosure letter to be

PUBLIC DIALOGUE
Chi-istine Ross, 205 Corvette Lane, Phone: 905-0265, requested the City close the Abortion Clinics
within the Ciry by rezoning the properties, buying the buildings where they operate and/or declaring the
clinics as "dangerous nuisances ".
Rodney Walker, 7940 Hartcell Drive, (951) 824-9272, requested the City consider a"divorce tax". He
advised that according to a research study conducted by Michigan State University, divorce has negative
impacts on the environment and consumption of energy. Mr. Walker suggested providing `family energy
rewards " based on two (2) years of n2arriage, the family receive a certain percentage in reduced taxes,
similar to the Department of Defense allotments. For those that divorce, they, too, would pay a certain
percentage in higher taxes.
The Public Dialogue re Non-Agenda Items concluded at 6:09 P.M.
