FY 2020 and an additional$2.5M in FY 2021
► These funds can only be used by the National Guard for a new Access
Control Point
► The City, in return,will receive a 50-year no-cost lease (with a second
50 years) for the Virginia Aquarium parking lot and the boat ramp
overflow lot:an area of approximately 12 acres.

F Studies indicate an expanded experience at the Virginia
Aquarium will add one additional day of visitation to the
average overnight stay.
► Convention and Visitors Bureau estimate each night in 2018
created expenditures of $538. Currently the Virginia
Aquarium generates $257 million annually in economic
impact for the City of Virginia Beach
► Expansion of the Aquarium at a future date will greatly
increase the overnight visitation to the City as well as
contribute to increased amounts of Aquarium visits from
local residents.
► Input from Oceana Naval Air Station, and Dam Neck Annex
has been solicited for this proposal
► They have granted general approval for the construction of
the garage as long as measures are taken to not allow sight
lines into Camp Pendleton
► The National Guard and others will use, the bottom floor of
the parking structures for buses and other heavy
equipment. This will assist when preparing responses to
storm events and other activities.

Major Changes/Budget Highlights
A. Federal funding will be from the approved Federal budget for Federal fiscal year
18-19.The President's proposed budget will affect us in FY 20-21
B. We have estimated level Federal funding.
C. The actual amounts are likely to be higher than our estimates because the
adopted Federal budget provided increases to most HUD programs.
D. Our proposal shows an increase of$1,718,955;however about half is supported
by Federal or State funds. Additional city funds are requested to support:
1. $852,000 in city funds above target for HRC operations—this funds the
annualized cost of operation since we will be operating the center for a full
12 months instead of 9-1/2 months this year.We did not know the cost of
contract services when the current budget was proposed.
2. $42,285 to support having one staff position at the Center around the clock
to provide supervision and problem resolution at all times

Stormwater projects AP Students created. It was exciting to see the level of understanding the students
have and hopes older generations will also learn. One of the assigned focus areas was where water
drainage goes after it leaves the school and what can they do to make it better. Council Member Henley
advised this is something every property owner should know and think about.

Mayor Dyer advised on March 30, 2019, he presented a Proclamation to the students at Virginia
Technology College for, "Good Deed Day". The Proclamation was to honor Page Newbower who
passed away in a car accident. Page's legacy was to try and help people, so her parents organized,
"Good Deed Day"in her memory and it was very humbling to see the 200 students in attendance
wearing t-shirts and waiting to go out afterwards and help the elderly.
Mayor Dyer also advised Lieutenant Colonel Howard Lee was an 85-year-old United States Marine
Corps Vietnam Veteran who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor and lived among us.
Mayor Dyer read a portion of LtCol. Lee's obituary,
"Lee continued fighting despite being wounded by a grenade that left 15 pieces
of shrapnel in his body and partly blinded hint in one eve. He was later
awarded the Medal of Honor. the nation's highest military decoration, and
after retiring from the Marine Corps with the rank of lieutenant colonel he
traded swords for plowshares, embarking on a horticultural career in which he
rose to oversee landscapingfor the city of Virginia Beach. '•
Mayor Dyer advised LtCol. Lee was a true hero among us and takes great pleasure in having them as
part of our City.
Council Member Jones advised his funeral home held the service for LtCol Lee and it was the first time
he has seen two (2)Marine Corps Platoons with the entire Marine Corp Band from Washington D.C.,
accompanied by a three-star General along with numerous other Officers in attendance. Council

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Council Member Rosemary Wilson DISCLOSED that she is a real estate agent affiliated with Howard
Hanna Real Estate Services("Howard Hanna'), who's Oceanfront Office is located at 303 34`x'Street Suite
102, Virginia Beach, VA 23451. Because of the nature of realtor and real estate agent affiliation, the size
of Howard Hanna, and the volume of transactions it handles in any given year, Howard Hanna 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 spirit of the State and
Local Government Conflict of Interests Act (the "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 of the agenda for any given meeting of the Council, she
identifies a matter in which she has a `personal interest, "as defined in the Act, she will file the appropriate
disclosure letter to be recorded in the official records of the City Council. Council Member Wilson
regularly makes this disclosure. Her letter of February 20, 2018, is hereby made part of the record.

proceeds from the sale of his partnership interest,paid out over an extended period of time. She is not an
employee of Dixon Hughes Goodman, does not have any role in management of the company and does is
not privy to its client list. However, due to the size of Dixon Hughes Goodman and the volume of
transactions it handles in any given year,Dixon Hughes Goodman may have an interest in matters of which
she has no personal knowledge. In that regard, she is always concerned about the appearance of
impropriety that might arise if she unknowingly participates in a matter before City Council in which Dixon
Hughes Goodman has an interest. In order to ensure her compliance with both the letter and spirit of the
State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act (the "Act"), it is her practice to thoroughly review
each City Council agenda to identify any matters in which she might have an actual or potential conflict.
If, during her review of an agenda, she identifies a matter in which she has a `personal interest", as defined
by the Act, she 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. Council Member Wilson's letter of June 2, 2015, is

Mission Statement
The Virginia Beach Domestic Violence Fatality Review Team's mission is to enhance the
coordinated agency and community response to violence and decrease future domestic
violence/intimate partner fatalities. The team is committed to reviewing the events and
circumstances of past domestic violence related deaths, identifying gaps in services, making
recommendations, and forming intervention initiatives to improve the Virginia Beach
community's response to violence.
Objectives for the Virginia Beach Domestic Violence Fatality Review Team are:
1. To assess findings, gather data, identify trends, and provide recommendations from
fatality reviews to decrease the incidence of domestic and intimate partner violence and
fatalities.
2. Provide protective and safety measures for victims and hold offenders accountable.
3. Identify and address gaps and barriers to services.
4. Promote communication between agencies to improve the response and coordination of
services to victims of family and intimate partner violence.
Enacted by the Virginia General Assembly in 1999, the Code of Virginia § 32.1-283.3 appeals
for"Any county or city, or combination of counties, cities, or counties and cities, may establish a
family violence fatality review team to examine fatal family violence incidents and to create a
body of information to help prevent future family violence fatalities".'
31% of homicides in 2014 in Virginia were related to family and intimate partner violence. ''
Established in 2014, the Virginia Beach Domestic Violence Fatality Review Team (VBDVFRT)
reviewed five family and intimate partner violence fatality cases, resulting in six deaths that
occurred between 2005 and 2015. According to the Virginia State Police's Crime in Virginia
4
Reports, there were a total of 189 murders/non-negligent manslaughters in the city of Virginia
Beach from 2005 to 2015. "'
Comprised of representatives from various city agencies and community organizations, the
VBDVFRT is a multi-agency, interdisciplinary collaboration of professionals created to examine
homicides, suicides, and homicide-suicides of family and intimate partner related cases.
The team met quarterly to review and evaluate domestic violence-related fatalities, analyze and
identify any system gaps, recognize areas of success and make improvements to decrease the
incidence of family and intimate partner violence and death in the city of Virginia Beach. '°
Team members presented and discussed any information, data, court documents, investigation
reports, photographs, and media reports regarding each case. The information discussed in each
case was confidential, pursuant to the Code of Virginia § 32.1-283.3 section (f).v VBDVFRT

The City of Virginia Beach
Virginia Beach is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Virginia. In 2016, the estimated
population for the City of Virginia Beach is 452,602 containing 166,242 households." Located
in the southeastern corner of Virginia, it hosts abundant wildlife preserves and parks. It is
surrounded by 38 miles of the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean beaches and boasts a vibrant
and popular resort area offering a wide range of activities for residents and visitors. Town
Center, a vibrant urban development located in the heart of Virginia Beach's Central Business
District, features a mix of restaurants, retail, office and luxury residential units, entertainment,
and a public plaza. Virginia Beach is home to 3 military bases, NAS Oceana, NAB Little Creek,
FTC Dam Neck and the U.S. Army's Fort Story. Virginia Beach also has the nation's largest
volunteer prehospital emergency medical services that respond to over 44,000 emergency calls
each year.

Highlights/Key Findings from Reviews:
The Virginia Beach Domestic Violence Fatality Review Team conducted extensive reviews of
five family and intimate partner violence-related fatalities that occurred between 2005 and 2015.
The following are the prominent findings from the team's review:
• All victims except one were white.
• All victims except two were current or former partners.
• All perpetrators except for one had a history of psychiatric problems.
• All perpetrators except two had access to firearms.
• All victims except for one did not seek help from agencies or community systems that
provided service(s). Even in cases in which the victims had previously called police.
Recommendations Implemented or In Progress:
Based on the team findings, the VBDVFRT recognized both a need and an opportunity to reach
out to agencies, community, and nonprofits in the area and provide education and resources to
them, raising awareness of domestic violence. The recommendations can be used to
create better systems, policies, and procedures to decrease domestic violence-related homicides.
Professional Training
• Training of law enforcement, court personnel, first responders, service providers and the
community should include information better identifying victims at risk and connecting
victims and family members to community-based providers and domestic violence
advocacy services.
• Increase the awareness of lethality risk factors to include separation. Be aware of the
risks associated with separation and include question(s) about it on the lethality risk
assessment. Separation can include verbal statements the victim has made about leaving
6
a relationship to filing for divorce. Victims who have either separated or plan to separate
from a violent partner are at greater risk for harm and/or serious injury.
• Education and outreach about domestic/intimate partner violence should be made to
vulnerable populations such as older adults, minorities, persons with disabilities, persons
with mental health issues, and the LGBT community.
• Increase the response to families impacted by domestic violence who represent a wide
range of religious, cultural, and ethnic (including the military) backgrounds.
Systems Coordination and Improvement
The Samaritan House has since implemented initiatives where:
• a victim advocate is stationed in the Juvenile Domestic Relations Court to represent
victims in the court setting.
• they enhanced their Coordinated Crisis Response Hotline to include a registration number
to provide better tracking of victim calls and data.
• they continue to educate agencies, courts, service providers, and the community about the
dynamics of domestic violence and stalking, including indicators of lethality, and the
significance of community involvement in prevention of these crimes.
The Virginia Beach Police Department(VBPD) has already implemented the Lethality
Assessment Protocol (LAP) in February 2017.
• The LAP is a collaboration between VBPD and a victim advocacy group such as the
Samaritan House in situations where a police officer responding to the scene of a
domestic violence incident utilizes a brief lethality assessment screen to identify victims
at high risk of homicide, increase prevention and decrease the incidence violence.
• If a victim is deemed as a high risk based on the lethality screen, the officer put the
victim in telephone contact with an advocate from Samaritan House.
• The Samaritan House or victim advocate provides the victim with safety planning,
advocacy, and referral for services.
Sentara Healthcare Emergency Departments based in Virginia Beach and Norfolk require staff to
have yearly training in domestic violence screening and the management of those at risk and are
victims of violence.
7
The Samaritan House, VBPD, and participating agencies hold the Coordinated Crisis Response
Team meetings on the first Tuesday every other month to identify any gaps or improvement of
services, keeping each other informed and up-to date with new practices, emerging trends, and
changing the culture in the response to victims of violence.
One of the greatest values of having a fatality review are the lessons learned from
reviewing these tragic fatalities, and how these lessons can improve agency and community
responses. The VBFRT report is a document that is used to provide information to the public,
agencies, and organizations that can have influence in having its recommendations supported and
used as a vehicle to promote social change. Reports from fatality reviews prove to be an
excellent tool to provide a more accurate view of domestic and intimate partner violence and
lethality assessment issues for responding agencies, advocacy services, and the community.

Federally Required Plans for the Housing Choice Voucher Program
The Department of Housing &Neighborhood Preservation(DHNP) operates the federal
Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCV) in the city. The program provides funding for
rental subsidies for over 2,000 households in Virginia Beach and in some cases in
neighboring cities. Funding for the HCV program is from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development. In order to comply with all Federal requirements for
this program, the city must establish policy and procedures to ensure consistency in
program operation and adopt the following plans:

establishes local policies for administration of the (HCV)program in accordance with
HUD requirements. The administration plan and any revisions of the plan must be
formally adopted by the City Council. This is required because Virginia Beach does not
have a housing authority and, therefore no board of commissioners. The administrative
plan states VBDHNP's policy on matters for which the VBDHNP has discretion to
establish local policies. The plan must be in accordance with HUD regulations and
requirements. The current administrative plan was approved by the Virginia Beach City
Council on April 5, 2018 and subsequently submitted to the Department of Housing and
Urban Development. The administrative plan is the key attachment to the HCV Five
Year and Annual Agency Plans which are also submitted by the VBDHNP.

Executive Summary
2019 Housing Choice Voucher—Annual and Administrative Plans
Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation
April 2, 2019
As mentioned, many of the above requirements are contained in documents that are
maintained in the offices of DHNP. Those documents and their location can merely be
cited rather than included in this plan.
In addition to City Council adoption of the 2019 Agency Plan, there must also be
approval of two HUD required certifications. The first certification is HUD Form 50077
which speaks to DI-INP's compliance with various program and statutory requirements
including Fair Housing, Title VI or the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act, ADA regulations and various other federal laws. The second
certification is HUD Form 50077-s1 which states that the Housing Choice Voucher
Agency Plan is consistent with the City's Consolidated Plan, and is previously cited.
On February 28, 2019, the Annual Plan Update was made available to the public for the
required 45-day review period. A public hearing was held on March 5, 2019, in
conjunction with our resident advisory board meeting. Their comments will be attached
to the final HUD submittal along with any that are received from the general public.
The approved Annual Agency Plan along with the two required certifications must be
electronically submitted to HUD no later than April 15, 2019, which is the required 75
days before the beginning of our City Fiscal Year of July 1, 2019.
Administrative Plan:
Staff has developed revisions to the 2019 plan. Primary differences between the prior
plan and this proposed revision are as follows:
• Format, grammatical and organizational corrections.

Chief Ed Brazle
Virginia Beach Department of EMS
4160 Virginia Beach Blvd
Virginia Beach, VA 23452
Dear Chief Brazle:
I am writing on behalf of the Blackwater Volunteer Rescue Squad (BVRS) to
request a no-interest loan from the City of Virginia Beach. The loan will be used
for the purchase of a new ambulance for our rescue squad. The new ambulance
will be a replacement for Ambulance 1321, a 2001 Ford E-450 Wheeled Coach
ambulance. This ambulance has exceeded the recommended service life of a
primary 911 response unit and was identified by the City Garage as due for
replacement. We also need to replace Ambulance 1 321 to provide a safer and
more reliable emergency medical transport service to the residents of the City.
We hope to have our new unit,Ambulance 1 320, in service by early summer.
The total cost of the new ambulance is $237,884.00. On July 1, 201 8, our agency
was awarded an 80/20 grant of $176,407.20 through the Rescue Squad
Assistance Fund (RSAF) from the Virginia Office of Emergency Medical Services. In
addition, our agency was awarded $22,300.00 from the Virginia Beach Rescue
Squad Foundation during December 2017. Therefore, we already acquired
funding for $198, 707.20 towards the replacement ambulance cost.
In order to complete our purchase, our agency still needs $39,176.80. BVRS is
requesting a non-interest loan for this remaining amount, with repayment occurring
in five annual installments of $7,835.36. To assist with repayment, we increased
our fundraising efforts during the past two fiscal cycles to protect future financial
stability.
BVRS appreciates the guidance and opportunities for financial assistance
provided by the Department of EMS as we work together to improve our service
to the citizens. If you need any further information, please contact me via the
contact information below. Thank you for your consideration of our request.
Sincerely, -
Eric Hoyt Anna Mick

Chief Brazle,
The Virginia Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad, Inc("VBVRS") is in the process of purchasing two
ambulances for delivery in 2019.These will be replacing two units, respectively 11 and 10 years old,that
are scheduled and recommended by the City Garage for replacement.The first unit is scheduled for
delivery in early April and is replacing the 11-year-old vehicle and the second unit is scheduled to be
delivered before the end of the second calendar quarter.The second unit,ordered in January,will be
partially funded by a 50% RSAF Grant.
We respectfully request a$300,000,5-year interest-free loan in order to help fund the replacement
program.The loan proceeds will be used to help cover the estimated $380,000/400,000 after Grant cost
of the two ambulances(estimated$240,000/each plus equipment for each unit).The ability to use the
proceeds of a loan is important as it will avoid an immediate full-cost draw-down of the investments of
both VBVRS and the Virginia Beach Rescue Squad Foundation. It is the earnings on the Foundation's
endowment that fund the Foundation's city-wide recruitment program as well as the annual grant
awards to other rescue squads, Marine Rescue Team and the SAR/Bike team.The balance for the
purchase of the ambulances and stretchers will be funded from funds on hand.
VBVRS continues to lead the volunteer EMS system with 150 Core Operational and 49 members in the
pipeline. In addition, the squad responds to approximately one-third of EMS calls and routinely staffs
other stations and lends ambulances to other squads when needed.
Our ambulance committee has worked very hard in developing a best-value specification and has
followed all City guidelines.We intend to continue our prudent replacement program over the coming
years in order to keep our fleet up to date and provide the City with first class assets and service.
Your consideration and assistance with this loan is greatly appreciated. Please feel free to call if you
have any questions for the Squad.
Sincerely,
�J.
