The industry standard is to read water meters and bill monthly: Monthly Billing Alternatives • Estimated Metering: Send the customer an estimated bill—based upon an estimated meter reading—in the middle of the two-month cycle • Split-Billing: This alternative would bill for half of the service when the meter is read, and the other half thirty days later • Read water meters monthly and bill monthly • Implement monthly billing in conjunction with a conversion from manual read meters to AMR/A 4 February 2, 2016 11 33 CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFINGS CITY SERVICES MONTHLY BILLING/ AUTOMATED METER READING ITEM#65628 (Continued) Automated Meter Reading(AMR)and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) involve using wireless technology to read water meters instead of manual meter reading: What is AMR and AMI • Automated meter reading (AMR) and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) read water meters wirelessly—no meter readers • Not cost justified with bi-monthly meter reading • Much better case with monthly meter reading especially if meters can turn on/off wirelessly • Provides many benefits: It does for meter reading what ATM's have done for banking • Conversion is five-year, $25 million program The slide below shows how complex the Billing and Delinquency Process is, as well as how interrelated it is with entities and functions inside and outside of Public Utilities and the City: Public Utilities Billing Process Workflow =,Aa. t Oji I swoon.. i 3 17.%17.-'1 February 2, 2016 34 CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFINGS CITY SERVICES MONTHLY BILLING/ AUTOMATED METER READING ITEM#65628 (Continued) Below is a summary of the estimated Metering/Split Billings: Estimated Metering/Split Billings • Saves the cost of additional meter reads but incurs increased costs in the call center, leak adjustments, and bad-debt write-off • Significant customer dissatisfaction and confusion • Problems with billing system customizations • Issues with move-in and move-outs • Hampers leak detection and increases adjustments • Does not reduce billing and enforcement period or delinquent balances Below are the other municipalities surveyed regarding utility billing: Other Utilities • Surveyed 30 Utilities(7 in Hampton Roads,23 nationally) —Overwhelmingly recommended against split-billing/estimated metering including the utility that was doing it —Columbus GA Water Works described it as a"customer service nightmare"and indicated that they were moving to AMR so they could read meters monthly • Locally, Norfolk, Suffolk, Franklin and Gloucester bill monthly and all four read meters monthly • Portsmouth, James City County, Chesapeake and Newport News are installing or plan to install AMR/AMI systems which provide monthly meter reading at no additional cost February 2, 2016 11 35 CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFINGS CITY SERVICES MONTHLY BILLING/ AUTOMATED METER READING ITEM#65628 (Continued) Below is the public response to monthly billing: Public Response to Monthly Billing • Utilities that have converted to monthly billing indicate positive customer response • February 2014: VTH for Monthly Billing —Not favored by three-fourths of 361 respondents —Participation in the VTH is self-selected —VTH was conducted after significant increase in City Services Bill for FY2014 and many comments were focused on those increases —VTH results might not be a good predictor of the ultimate customer response to monthly billing Converting to monthly billing will have costs associated with preparing and sending twice as many bills, regardless of whether monthly meter reading is implemented or not. The cost is estimated at$600,000 per year: Annual Cost of Monthly Billing • Cost to send twice as many bills — Paper, Printing, Postage: $375,000 —Treasurer's Costs $ 85,000 —3 FTE's in Business Division $140,000 $600,000 • Cost for additional meter reading: $400,000 • If Estimated Meter Readings or Split Billing are implemented,we will incur meaningful increases in the Call Center, Leak Adjustments,and Bad-Debt Write-Off. A 10% increase would cost$200,000 February 2, 2016 11 36 CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFINGS CITY SERVICES MONTHLY BILLING/ AUTOMATED METER READING ITEM#65628 (Continued) An AMR/AMI conversion is an expensive project. Mr. Leahy suggests the City consider carefully studying all aspects of the conversion: Time to Implement Monthly Billing • AMR/AMI: Study and evaluation through FY2017. If feasible, meter conversion would begin July 1, 2017. Monthly billing would begin half-way thru the conversion (January 2019) • Manual meter reading and monthly billing requiresl2-16 months to implement —If initiated now, monthly billing in summer of 2017 — If initiated when AMR/AMI study is complete, monthly billing in winter 2019 Below are the conclusions: Conclusions • Monthly billing would have important benefits for low- income customers • Without monthly meter reading, many of the benefits to low-income customers don't materialize • If estimated or split billing worked in the metered utility industry, billing systems would have modules for it and utilities would be doing it • Water/sewer utilities are moving in the direction of the private sector utilities with monthly meter reading and monthly billing—often in conjunction with AMR/AMI February 2, 2016 37 CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFINGS CITY SERVICES MONTHLY BILLING/ AUTOMATED METER READING ITEM#65628 (Continued) Below are the recommendations: Recommendations • Investigate business case for AMR/AMI. If feasible, implement monthly billing with the conversion • In the meantime: Use contract meter readers for additional meter reads and implement monthly billing ASAP—July 2017. • Alternatively,wait until AMR/AMI study is complete. If AMR/AMI is a no-go, implement monthly meter reading and billing at that time—January 2019 • Public Utilities recommends against estimated or split billing —Customer dissatisfaction and offsetting administrative costs —Excludes many benefits needed by low-income customers Questions? Mayor Sessoms thanked Mr. Leahy for the updated information. City Council will consider these recommendations during the upcoming Budget process. February 2, 2016 38 CITY COUNCIL LIAISON REPORTS ITEM#65629 5:35 P.M. Councilman Uhrin advised he was at the General Assembly in Richmond last week and there is some "Proffer Legislation" being considered that could be a potential problem for the City and if City Council agrees, they will want to give some direction to Bob Mathias. Deputy City Attorney Bill Macali advised no locality is happy about the proposed Legislation but seemingly it is on the `fast-track"for approval: PROPOSED CONDITIONAL ZONING LEGISLATION HB 770 (COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE) House Bill 770 was reported on January 29th with a 19-2 vote: HB 770 (Gilbert) is one of two bills on conditional zoning pending in the General Assembly. It was reported on 1/29 by a 19-2 vote of 19-2 SB 549 was/is in committee today (2-2-16) February 2, 2016 39 CITY COUNCIL LIAISON REPORTS ITEM#65629 (Continued) Below are the basic provisions: Basic provisions: No locality shall: (i) request or accept any "unreasonable proffer" in connection with a conditional rezoning or modification as a condition of approval of a "new residential development"or"new residential use" or (ii) deny any conditional rezoning application or modification for a new residential development where such denial is based in whole or in part on an applicant's failure or refusal to submit, or remain subject to, an unreasonable proffer. Applies to any conditional zoning application seeking a conditional rezoning or modification that would allow residential units (single-family, multifamily, residential component of mixed-use) above what is allowed by right. February 2, 2016 40 CITY COUNCIL LIAISON REPORTS ITEM#65629 (Continued) Very problematic language throughout the proposed Bill: An "unreasonable proffer" is any proffer except one that is"specifically and uniquely attributable to"the proposed development. In the case of proffers for off-site improvements,a proffer is also deemed unreasonable unless: (a) the proposed development creates a need for one or more public improvements in excess of existing capacity at the time of the application;and (b)the proposed development receives a direct and material benefit from a proffer made concerning such public improvements Although the provisions is worded poorly, it appears to mean, for example, that a proffer for an off-site improvement (cash or in-kind, such as for roadway construction) is "unreasonable" and therefore may not be accepted by a locality unless (1) the impact of the proposed development would result in the public facility's exceeding its capacity, and (2) the proposed development receives a direct and material benefit from the proffer February 2, 2016 41 CITY COUNCIL LIAISON REPORTS ITEM#65629 (Continued) The bill prohibits localities from "imposing or requiring" proffers regarding such matters as building materials, finishes, methods of construction, or design features except in certain areas (which include, among others, areas in close proximity to military bases). If an application is denied: The bill replaces the traditional"fairly debatable"test with a much easier standard by which the applicant/property owner may prove his case in court. All he has to do is to show by a"preponderance of the evidence" standard that the locality "suggested, requested, or required,formally or informally"an"unreasonable proffer,"and the court must presume that the failure or refusal to actually include that proffer (or the remain subject to it) was the reason for the denial of the application. A locality can only overcome this presumption by presenting"clear and convincing evidence"(a MUCH higher standard of proof)that its decision was not based upon the fact that the applicant did not include a proffer that was suggested, requested or required by the locality February 2, 2016 42 CITY COUNCIL LIAISON REPORTS ITEM#65629 (Continued) If the applicant wins in court: The court must remand the matter to the City Council with direction to approve the application without the "unreasonable proffer[s]." The City Council then has 90 days in which to do so,and if it fails to act within that time,the court will enjoin the City from interfering in the use of the subject property as applied for The court "shall," (not "may") award the applicant (1) reasonable attorney's fees,(2)costs(which are undefined and might therefore include more than just court costs, such as filing fees) and (3) compensatory damages. There is no reciprocal provision in cases in which the locality prevails. Summary and Recommendation If enacted,the proposed legislation will: - Significantly limit the City's options in handling conditional rezoning applications for residential uses. - Prevent the City from accepting a wide range of proffers(even those the applicant is perfectly willing to provide) that have guaranteed a high quality of development - Pass along the cost of needed public improvements,generated in whole or in part by a proposed residential development, to the taxpayers. February 2, 2016 11 43 CITY COUNCIL LIAISON REPORTS ITEM#65629 (Continued) - Drastically alter,in favor of the applicant,the longstanding evidentiary standards and legal presumptions in court cases in which a rezoning action is challenged in such manner as to limit the traditional deference to local governing bodies in such actions - Expose the City to liability for attorney's fees, costs and damages in cases in which the City is unsuccessful in defending a denial of a conditional zoning application for a residential use, without any reciprocal treatment for the City when it prevails in such an action In light of the foregoing concerns, it is recommended that the City oppose the enactment of the proposed legislation City Attorney Stiles advised, the proposed House Bill, in essence, will prohibit City Council from denying any Proffer that is brought forward for consideration. Councilman Davenport objects to the City Council opposing the proposed House Bill. After City Council discussion, Mayor Sessoms instructed City Attorney Stiles to provide a formal objection to this proposed Legislation and to note Councilman Davenport's objection. February 2, 2016 44 CITY COUNCIL'S COMMENTS ITEM#65630 5:42 P.M.

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 Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Town Realty, which is an affiliate of Towne Bank. 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 City Clerk to be included in the official records of City Council. Mayor Sessoms' letter of January 13, 2015, is hereby made a part of the record. February 2, 2016 52 Vice Mayor Jones DISCLOSED,for many years, he served on the Board of Directors of Resource Bank.

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 Conflict 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.

In order to ensure her compliance with both the letter and the spirit 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 identifring any matters in which she might have an actual or potential conflict.

Sessoms, Jr. City Clerk Mayor City of Virginia Beach Virginia February 2, 2016 77 PUBLIC DIALOGUE George Pilgrim, 2200 Zia Drive, Phone: 301-3329, requested the City Council consider taxing owners of recreational boats. The dredging expenses to keep waterways navigable for boat traffic should not fall on Citizens but rather the boat owners using the waterways. It was noted the City's current Budget commits more than $2.5-Million from the General Fund for dredging of three (3) waterways. Ken Chord,played an audio recording regarding the United States taking a leading role in implementing the decisions, as amended, made at the Earth Summit. The United States should develop a national strategy to implement Agenda 21 and other Earth Summit agreements through Domestic and Foreign Policies and cooperate with all countries to identify and initiate further agreements. The second audio recording Mr. Chord played stated the origins of the Environmental Movement which began in 1968 when the Club of Rome was born. The Club of Rome has been descried as a crisis think-tank and specializes in crisis creation. The main purpose of these think-tanks was to formulate a crisis that would unite the world and condition us to the idea of "global solutions to local problems". In a document, called the First Global Revolution, authored by Alexander King and Bertrand Schneider, specifically pages 104-105, states "in searching for new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water-shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill". Mr. Chord advised as City Council continues to increase the density, more and more jobs leave the City. Frank Papcin, 4008 Rumford Lane, Phone: 498-4878, stated he remembered all of the arguments and discussion in developing the Municipal Center in the "Center of the City" and now the City is considering moving the Municipal Center to Town Center. Geographically, the Municipal Center is the center of the City and Town Center is only 3 miles from the Norfolk border. He does not understand how the City can justify leaving property owned by the City to lease property and relocate the Municipal Center. He requests the City remodel the buildings and not relocate the Municipal Center to Town Center. The Public Dialogue re Non Agenda Items concluded at 6:17 P.M. February 2, 2016
