Project Constraints

Project constraints include:
1. Traffic: 106,000 vehicles per day(Level of Service:F-)
2. Businesses: commercial businesses on every quadrant
3. Right-of-way: costs/impacts would compound quickly due
to loss of parking for businesses
4. Underground work—larger project would require storm
water upgrades,more private utility relocations,public
utility upgrades,and more traffic impact
5. Schedule: less tolerance for construction impacts due to
traffic volumes

kind in Virginia. This innovative hybrid utilizes elements of a Median U-turn design and a Continuous

Here are the Logistics of$400+Million Referendum:
Logistics of $400+ Million Referendum 25
► Tax-exempt bonds must comply with IRS arbitrage requirement
► three-year temporary period beginning on date of issuance to allocate
proceeds to project costs to avoid being arbitrage bonds
► Many of these projects are schedule constrained,it would be
impossible to complete$400+million in projects within three years
► Due to the arbitrage requirements and the schedule constraints of
the projects,the$400+million referendum amount must be broken
down over multiple issues
► Generally,Virginia Beach issues bonds on a reimbursement basis

Closing Thoughts 31
I. Referendum generally does not allow City to address sea level rise.
► As GO debt is retired,retired debt is included in the Charter debt
calculation,so these amounts can provide increased debt capacity
for future projects
► This bond authority could be reserved and utilized by a future City
Council as capacity for sea level rise with additional revenue
considerations

INVOCATION: Reverend Beth Anderson
Courthouse Community United Methodist Church
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`"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.
December 3, 2019
42
Council Member Rosemary Wilson also DISCLOSED she has a personal interest in Dixon Hughes
Goodman and receives income from the firm as a result of her late husband's employment. The income is
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
hereby made a part of the record.

Re: Disclosure Pursuant to Conflict of Interests Act § 2.2-3115 (H)
Dear Mrs. Barnes:
Pursuant to the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act, I make the following
declaration:
1. I am executing this written disclosure regarding the City Council's discussion and
vote on an ordinance to appropriate $26,079,152 from the FY 2018-19 school
reversion funds and establish Capital Project 1-024 "Lynnhaven MS Expansion"in
the FY 2019-20 Capital Improvement Program. The expansion is to accommodate
grades 6-12 at the Middle School, which is the home of the Achievable Dream
Secondary School Program.
2. I have a personal interest in An Achievable Dream Virginia Beach, Inc. because
my husband is employed as a teacher at the Achievable Dream elementary program
at Seatack Elementary School and receives supplemental income from An
Achievable Dream Virginia Beach, Inc. whose corporate address is 10858 Warwick
Boulevard, Suite A, Newport News, VA 23601.
3. I am a member of a group—teachers at the Achievable Dream elementary program
