REAL ESTATE ASSESSMENTS
February 29, 1988
11:00 A.M.
ITEM # 28888
J. D. Banagan, Real Estate Assessor, presented a report relative REAL ESTATE
ASSESSMENTS and distributed information relative same to City Council. (Said
information is hereby made a part of the record.)
The projected 1989 Assessment Roll is $14,296,000,000 which will generate
$130,810,000 in revenue at the approved 1989 real estate tax rate of $.915 per
$100 of assessed value. Each penny for the tax rate relates to $1,430,000 in
revenue. Extracting the increase in the tax rate this is approximately an 8.5%
increase in revenue.
Page One indicated Total Assessments per Borough and increases. Assessments
reflect taxable land use values as opposed to fair market values on qualifying
farms.

FISCAL YEAR 1988 AND FISCAL YEAR 1989

(Actual) (Projected)
*This amount was CORRECTED.
Page 3 indicated Projected growth through July First and Projecting New
construction through next June. The Projected 1989 Total Assessment is
$14,296,225,023. The Total 1988/1989 Real Estate Tax Revenue anticipated is
$130,810,459. Between now and July will include any growth in land through
subdivision or rezoning. The land is locked in as of July 1, 1988.
The City Manager advised the Real Estate Revenue anticipated in the amount of
$130,810,459 cannot be compared directly to General Fund revenues.
Approximately 11-1/2cts of this tax rate is specified for specific purposes
(Referendum items) and not available for General Fund type issues.
Page 4 denotes the Increase in July 1 Land Book from 1980 to 1989. The percent
of increase was only 9% in 1989. There was a drop of $682-MILLION from last
year to $511-MILLION in new buildings. Chesapeake had only one-half,
approximately $250-MILLION.
Jerald Banagan advised he had been eluding to new construction being decreased
and he was speaking of buildings only dropping from $682-MILLION to $511-
MILLION. Land growth can only be tracked for one-half of a year. The second
'half of the year is lost with the numbers of reappraisal. Last year the land
growth for six months dropped from $126-MILLION to $66-MILLION (land growth,
resubdivisions and rezonings for a 6 month period).
Page 5 indicated the Percent of Increase in Assessments (excluding growth). The
overall Average Increase was 5.44% and the overall Median Increase was 4.12%.
Councilman Moss requested information as to how taxes are computed for income
generated properties. This would be an interesting analysis and have impact on
what the City might want to do with the CZO in terms of building a portfolio of
development that will provide for sufficient revenue to pay for services.

total of 102,147 residences is $95,300.
Page 8 continues with Residential Assessments.
Page 9 reflects information on the year built and the average assessment for
those years.
Councilman Moss requested evaluations by zoning category of those time periods
to determine if there is a substantial market place or volume for that
particular type of housing. It can also be determined that housing has
appreciated at a much lower rate and probably will continue to do so within
such demographics. This might be utilized in composition of the CZO as to the
amount of that type of land use the City can afford to support.
Councilman Perry requested a comparison of how the salaries in Virginia Beach
compare to the housing.
50% of the housing stock or approximately 50,000 units were built after 1975.

MASTER STREET AND HIGHWAY PLAN CONSIDERATION
February 29, 1988
11:42 A.M.
ITEM # 23889
The City Manager referenced Memorandums from Robert J. Scott, Director of
Planning, relative changes in the MASTER STREET AND HIGHWAY PLAN. The Virginia
Department of Transportation in designing the City's Dam Neck Road, Phase 2
project has determined it would be advantageous to construct a six-lane section
between General Booth Boulevard and Upton Drive.
In order to make that change on the MASTER STREET AND HIGHWAY PLAN it would be
necessary for the Staff to forward to the Planning Commission a request to
examine this recommendation and at some future time this would be brought back
to the Council as an amendment.
Robert Scott depicted the section involved on the map. The Section in question
is between General Booth and Upton Drive (north-south collector street that
goes all the way down to Red Mill). On the MASTER STREET AND HIGHWAY PLAN
originally thio was shown as a six-lane road. The Harland Bartholomew Study
recommended a reduction to a four-lane divided section. The Staff is
recommending this be restored to the 6-lane it was previously which will
require a change to the MASTER STREET AND HIGHWAY PLAN.
The City Manager advised this is a defense access highway and there is the
opportunity to correct same before the project is too far advanced. The Harland
Bartholomew Study was based on 1983 data.
Robert Scott referenced another item which he was not convinced would require a
change in the MASTER STREET AND HIGHWAY PLAN. Robert Scott referenced a
certain area of North Courthouse Loop. A projection on the MASTER STREET AND
HIGHWAY PLAN indicates this be a parkway section. The plans of public and
private developers are not compatible with this idea. The Princess Anne
Commons Office Complex and the Judicial Center do not appear to be compatible
with the Parkway section. Because of the open drainage, it precludes access
and thus is incompatible with this particular location. Robert Scott believed
it was understood that this Parkway section would be located in areas of the
City where it would be removed from this type of development. A standard
section should be installed which would allow for more appropriate type of
access into that street. Robert Scott believed the MASTER STREET AND HIGHWAY
PLAN provides enougli flexibility for this adjustment to be made.
Councilman Moss requested the additional cost be identified for piping and
drainage, as well as other concerns reflected from changing from a parkway to a
non-parkway.
The City Manager advised the cost of the Judicial Center always included curb
and gutter and private development must bear the cost of the curb and gutter
relative their development.

MINIBONDS
February 29, 1988
11:53 A.M.
ITEM # 28890
The City Manger introduced Giles Dodd, Assistant City Manger for Administration
who reiterated information relative MINIBONDS. On November 23, 1987, the
Council of the City of Virginia Beach unanimously ADOPTED a Resolution
requesting the City Manager and the City Finance Department to proceed with the
planning and issuance of MINIBONDS following the City's next General Obligation
Bond sale. The proposed MINIBOND sale will be a portion of the 1987 Charter
Bond Authorization of $24,800,000. Specifically, proceeds from the sale will
be applied to street and highway projects that are part of the Authorization.
The portion of the total authorization developed to street projects is
$12,709,968 which will be divided among ten projects. The MINIBOND proceeds
will form a part of the pool of money that will be used to finance the highway
projects.
Tentatively it is planned for the subscription period for the MINIBOND sale to
be within eight days after the General Obligation Bond issue. Giles Dodd
advised the City Council would receive bids on the General Obligation issue on
April 13, 1988, and the subscription period for the sale of MINIBONDS would be
between April 21st and April 29th, 1988. This would enable establishment of the
interest rate on the MINIBONDS.
The Bond denominations would be $500 and purchase would be by Cashier's Check,
Certified Check or Money Order (No personal checks or cash). Maturity would be
three years. The maximum individual purchase would be $5,000.
The City Staff is recommending Capital Appreciation Bonds (CABS, also known as
compound interest bonds) which allow investors to lock into an interest rate
until the bonds mature, and collect principal and all the interest that has
accrued at the time of maturity. By adopting the Capital Appreciation
Structure, the City avoids issuing interest checks every six months to each
holder of the City's bonds.
Since there will not be a secondary market for the bonds, a put option once
every year allows investors some liquidity in their investment that would
otherwise not exist. The bonds can only be sold back to the City at one of the
two annual put periods (one in 1989 and one in 1990) that will be offered, and
there will be a $10 administrative fee for each bond that is put back to the
City. An investor who intends to put bonds back to the City wili be required
to provide notice of this intention at least seven days before the prescribed
put date. This will allow City staff the time to prepare necessary
documentation. There will be a limit on the number of bonds that the City will
accept for put. During both put periods no more than 200 bonds may be put back
to the City. Puts will be handled on a first come, first serve basis.

ITE14 ii 28891
Councilwoman Henley referenced REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION of Condition No. 4
in the Application of NAVPHIBASE FEDERAL CREDIT UNION on February 19, 1988,
(Bayside Borough). (See Item V-J.1. under NEW BUSINESS.) The NAVPHIBASE
Federal Credit Union has requested RECONSIDERATION of Condition No. 4, which
was placed on their rezoning on December 9, 1985. Councilwoman Henley advised
the time period has expired. The applicant should have requested same prior to
the expiration of the time limit.
The City Attorney will determi-ne the legality of this RECONSIDERATION.
ITEM # 28892
Councilman Perry referenced the removal of the VIRGINIA BEACH COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION from under the auspices of the Community Development
Department.
The City Manager will report relative same at the City Council Meeting of March
7, 1988.
ITEM # 28893
Councilman Moss referenced the volume of material received in the Agenda
Package on Thursday, February 25, 1988. It is too much to deliberately digest
all these reports and respond with meaningful feedback between the time of
receipt and the time of decision on Monday.
The City Manager advised some of the reports were provided, as available and
not specifically requesting action on February 29, 1988.
ITEM # 28894

City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, by ADDING a new Section 333-114.2 AUTHORIZING
and REQUIRING Administrative Approval of ENCROACHMENTS BY CERTAIN AWNINGS. (See
Item V-G.2 of the CONSENT AGENDA) The City Manager requested DEFERRAL until
the City Council Meeting of March 7, 1988, as a modification is necessary.
Councilwoman McClanan referenced she did have concern relative the lighting
which should not be referred to in terms of "either/or" and believed same to be
an incorrect approach.
ITEM # 28895
Vice Mayor Oberndorf referenced an Ordinance to AMEND and REORDAIN in its
entirety Chapter 13, Article II of the Code of the City of Virginia Beach,
Virginia, pertaining to FOOD HANDLER'S CARDS FOR RESTAURANT EMPLOYEES. (See
