SCHOOL BOARD
2:30 P.M.
TTEM # 34123
Mayor Oberndorf introduced the following School Board Members in attendance:
Greg N. Stillman - Chairman, William H. Barnes, Gerald G. Gibbs, Jr., Robert W.
Hall and Dr. Ulysses Van Spiva.
Greg N. Stillman, Chairman - School Board, advised a PUBLIC HEARING shall be
scheduled for March 5, 1991, concerning the budget of the School Board. The
Budget will in essence save approximately $5-MILLION; however, the School Board
was short $15-MILLION. Therefore, the City portion of public education funding
must increase from previous years. Approximately 90% of the Budget is
personnel-driven. The School Board is proposing a cut in the administrative
costs which will save the taxpayers approximately $2.4-MILLION. This Budget
attempts to maintain the integrity of the instructional program and assure the
health, safety and welfare of the students are adequately provided. An
improvement in the transportation budget has been made as a result of
innovative scheduling and decisions to postpone the purchase of new buses. This
will save the City approximately $1/2-MILLION.
Dr. S. John Davis, Acting Division Superintendent, presented the proposed
1991-92 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY of the SCHOOL BOARD OPERATING BUDGET totaling
$294,110,780. This amount represented a 3.44% increase over the budget for the
current year, which is the smallest percentage increase in three decades. In
spite of membership increase. plus equipping and staffing a new Elementary
School, the projected cost per pupil is $12.00 below the per pupil cost for the
current school year. Not since the mid 1970's when Governor Godwin reduced
State aid by 5% has the City been required to examine the total operation of
the Public Schools. This year, faced with a decline in State and local revenue,
the City has been forced to examine this total operation very carefully. This
is a sensible and sensitive budget. The School Board directed the School
Administration to protect the integrity of the instructional program. The
instructional programs are in place, although more efficient and effective
delivery systems are being investigated, i.e, interactive television as well as
fees for driver education and summer enrichment programs. The Budget is
sensitive to the health and safety of students. The current transportation
program, the school lunch indirect costs, plant operations and maintenance
activities have been reviewed. Specifically, eliminating activity buses in the
secondary schools, increasing walking distances, extending the time the special
students ride the buses, as well as other strategies to reduce expenditures
were examined. Keeping in mind the need to insure the health and safety of the
students, these were eliminated; however, the Administration is planning to
bring to the School Board a plan to modify opening and closing times of certain
elementary schools. This plan will avoid the purchase of 15 new buses costing
approximately $1/2-MILLION, as well as saving $200,000 on salaries and fuel
consumption. The Administration is recommending collecting greater indirect
costs from federal programs, i.e, lunch which will result in a five cent
increase in school lunches. This budget is sensitive to the economic needs of
the employee who recently received an increase in hospitalization costs. Dr.
Davis is recommending a mid-year step increase for all full-time employees who
are not at the top of the salary schedule and who, by satisfactory job
performance, would be eligible for an increase. This will cost the school
division approximately $1.6-MILLION, plus fringe benefits. This modest increase
is contingent on the City Manager doing the same for the City employees and
also contingent on adequate revenue being available to support this effort.
This Budget is sensitive to the need to support the Board's five priorities:
(1) Programs for at-risk students; (2) Reduction of class size K through 2; (3)
increased use of technology for instructional and administrative purposes; (4)
achieving academic excellence; and, (5) management of growth.

SCHOOL BOARD
ITEM # 34123 (Continued)
As an example, within existing resources, Dr. Davis has recommended assigning
one additional teaching position to the ten Chapter I Schools with the lowest
achievement scores on the Iowa Test and the lowest passing rate on the literacy
passport exams: Birdneck Elementary, Holland Elementary, Luxford Elementary,
Lynnhaven Elementary, Newtown Elementary, Parkway Elementary, Pembroke
Elementary, Seatack Elementary, White Oaks Elementary and Williams Elementary.
Dr. Davis will be meeting with the principals to develop a variety of
organizational patterns within the school utilizing that one teaching position
per school. A year from now, the Board will have documents to show the most
appropriate staffing patterns and pupil-teacher ratio to accommodate the needs
of at-risk students.
To further reduce expenditures, Dr. Davis suggested the Board and the City
Manager examine an early retirement program for all employees. In order to
insure that any recommendation coming to the School Board and City Council is
equitable, comprehensive and applicable to all employees, Dr. Davis suggested a
Joint Meeting to include two members of each body: the City Manager and the
acting Superintendent.
The proposed Budget reflects changes in personnel allocations, transportation,
furniture and equipment purchases, hiring practices, travel and publications,
as well as consumption of fuel and electricity.
Dr. Fred Benham, Assistant Superintendent for Financial Services, advised no
funds have been added to this Budget to address increases in health insurance
which might take place in January 1992. The employers contribution to health
insurance will remain the same.
With regard to duplication of efforts, Dr. Davis advised of meetings with the
City Manager and Director of Planning, relative land use in connection with the
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, investigating means of combining the School Board
Channel 28 and City Cable 29 with relation to administration and technology, as
well as maintenance of vehicles. The City and School Board are in partnership
regarding the utilization of the mainframe of the computer.
Dr. Davis advised, in January, Governor Wilder proposed amendments to the
Appropriations Act, RB 1150, that would specify how reductions would be made
for FY 1991-91. Following this proposal, the House and Senate developed budget
amendments. Each body included additional dollars for public education. The
Local Composite Index (LCI) for localities was utilized to determine the amount
of funding that a division would receive. In both versions, cuts were greater
for those localities with higher composite indices. Virginia Beach benefited
under the Senate version because it employed a sliding scale for cuts. Reports,
as late as Thursday, February 21, 1991, indicated the Senate methodology would
be utilized in the proposal. However, the report release on Friday utilized a
differing methodology that negatively affected funding for public education in
Virginia Beach. Presently, Virginia Beach composite index is .4016. Had the LCI
been less than .4000, the maximum cuts for the division would have been
substantially less.
City Council Members referenced the Memorandum of E. Dean Block, Assistant City
Manager for Analysis and Evaluation, relative the preliminary assessment of the
impact of the proposed school budget.
Dr. Davis will investigate merging the health insurance of the City and School
Board.
After a PUBLIC HEARING is conducted on March Fifth, the School Board will
consider the Administrative Budget on March Seventh and copies of same will be
provided to the City Manager on March Eighth.

ITEM # 34124
Robert Scott, Director of Planning, advised the Planning Cornmission reviewed a
number of Ordinances In relation to the COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
Mr. Scott referenced an Ordinance to Amend and Reordain the Code of the City of
Virginia Beach, Vlrglnia by ADDING Section 8-31.1, pertaining to Permits for
Fences and Wall and an Ordinance to Amend and Reordain Section 201 (e) of the
City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to requirements for fences and walls. This
Ordinance would require permits for fences within 30 feet of the Public Right-
of-way. It would require fences built within 30 feet of this right-of-way be
constructed to standards previously adopted by City Council as part of the
Landscaping and Buffering Standards In April 1988. This Ordinance would
establish a fee for permits and a procedure for dealing with non-conforming
fences. The fee for permits required by this section shall be $15.00 plus $1.00
per $100.00 of value. A permit shall be required for the construction,
reconstruction, replacement or relocation ot any fence or wall, except fences
or walls used principally for agricultural or horticultural purposes. Any fence
or wall located upon more than one lot shall require a separate permit for each
such lot, except lots under c(xnmon ownership.
Mr. Robert Loher, Director of Permits and Inspections, and Pat Janezeck, Zoning
Administrator, presented a series of slides demonstrating the problem related
to fences. The standards would require a better quality fence with the most
Important requirement being a five-foot setback and screen planting on the
outside of the fences.
Mr. Loher estimated the Ordinances would result In 1156 permits per year at an
average cost of $25.00 per permit, which equates to $29,000.
Mr. Scott distributed copies of the Ordinance to Amend and Reordain Article 1,
Section 107(H) of the City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Conditional Zoning
with additional revisions. The adoption of a Conditional Zoning ordinance,
pursuant to Section 15.1-491.2-1, will permit the acceptance of voluntary
proffers for cash contributions and for off-site Improvements. A zoning
ordinance may include and provide for voluntary proffering In writing, by the
owner, of reasonable conditions, prior to a public hearing before the governing
body provided that:
(1) The rezoning Itself gives rise to the need for the
conditlons;
(2) Such conditions have a reasonable relation to the
rezoning; and,
(3) All such conditions are In conformity with the
Cornprehensive Plan.
A proffer shall not be accepted unless the City has adopted a Capital
Improvement Plan pursuant to Section 15.1-464. This Section Identifies a 5-Year
Capital Improvement Plan. Revlsions on page three of said Ordinance reflect
slight adjustments to the time period with which the proffered conditions are
reviewed.
This version reflects previous discussions with City Council and denotes minor
changes to the version recommended by the Planning Commission.

ITEM # 34124 (Continued)
Councilman Jones quoted page I-I of the COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DRAFT: "This plan
comes at a particularly difficult time in the City's history, since the City is
faced with a number of critical unknowns that have the potential to shape the
City's future. For example, there is underway a regional study oriented toward
the possible inclusion of light rail transit in the City. A study has been
completed identifying the possible use of transfer of development rights in
certain areas of the City. However, efforts to secure the necessary state
enabling legislation are still under way for this initiative. Regulations
implementing the provisions of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act have been
adopted, but the exact effect of the regulations is not yet known. Further, the
City is studying appropriate alternative water quality management programs for
the watershed that drains into the Atlantic Ocean and the Albemarle-Pamilico
Sounds. The findings from this analysis will help in formulating effective
water quality management policies and regulations. The timing and location of
the Southeastern Expressway, a major traffic arterial with important industrial
and land use implications, is still unknown and is dependent in part upon
resolution of environmental issues. Finally, determinations by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers and Environmental Protection Agency affecting regulation of
non-tidal wetlands has tremendous implications for the City's future, and is
not yet fully defined. Regarding these problems, the Plan makes reasonable
assumptions where appropriate, and delays major decisions to a more appropriate
time where necessary."
Councilman Jones referenced a letter from Clarence Warnstaff, Director of
Public Utilities, dated February 15, 1991, to Robert J. Scott. The conclusion
of this letter assumes in either event the LAKE GASTON project can be brought
in line by 1995. Otherwise, the water system will be severely extended with
respect to its capacity to provide during drought periods. In this case water
is not likely to be available for any new connections regardless of their
respective location to the GREEN LINE. Councilman Jones referenced
correspondence from Commissioner Pethtel, which advised there is no assurance
that the agencies would voluntarily accept the Wetland loss associated even
with a 4-lane design of the Southeastern Expressway. Mr. Scott advised the
Southeastern Expressway has been anticipated as an 8-lane roadway and has been
placed on the Master Street and Highway Plan along an alignment identified as
BE-4, consistent with an alignment in Chesapeake (BE-10). The question of exact
alignment is still not determined. Right-of-way has been secured in certain
instances. However, the most important issue is environmental concern. The City
is being urged by the State to consider a lesser roadway, which would be a
combination of four-lanes and in some cases in Chesapeake, six-lanes. There
would be less impact in terms of acreage of lost wetlands by such a narrow
road. A proposal has been initiated for a four-lane road with the loss of a
rather important interchange on Indian River Road and the reduction and design
of interchanges located elsewhere.
The City Manager advised Referendum Authority has been identified for specific
projects. All of the Charter Bond Authority has been utilized. The current
Capital Improvement Program does not take care of all the backlog, there is
still a significant amount of projects requested, but unfunded.
The Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act does require, after adoption of the
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, a revision by November 1991, to accommodate other matters
established in the Act. State Law obligates all localities in Virginia to
review the COMPREHENSIVE PLAN to determine if it needs to be amended once every
five years.
Councilman Jones believed only the areas North of the Green Line should be
considered in the Comprehensive Plan and discussion of the transitional areas
be deleted at the present time. The City Council would proceed with inclusion
of an Ordinance to Amend and Reordain Article 4 of the City Zoning Ordinance
pertaining to the Agricultural Districts. This Ordinance will repeal the
Agricultural Lands Area Overlay District and create the Rural Preservation
Overlay District. Councilman Jones requested the City Council be polled.
Mayor Oberndorf POLLED the City Council relative whether they wished to delete
consideration of transitional areas at the present time until concerns relative
Lake Gaston and the Southeastern Expressway have been answered or proceed with
discussion of the Comprehensive Plan with the inclusion of the transitional
areas.

John A. Baum Continue Discussion with transition areas and
utilizing natural buffers instead of the
centers of highways.
James W. Brazier Continue dlscussion with transition areas. The
southern end ot the City should not be
excluded. State funding and the water supply
wi I I affect the northern and southern end of
the City equally.
Robert W. Clyburn Postpone transitional area discussion for six
months. There is a need for a nice community
in another area of the City. Mr. Clyburn
disliked the Green Line designation.
Vice Mayor Fentress Favors moving on; however, there are several
options which could be considered on the
actual date of consideration of the
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN whether it be March Fl fth
or March Twelfth. This would allow Robert
Scott to reply to al I of City Counci Its
concerns.
Louis Jones Delete consideration of transitional areas at
the present time and inclusion of the AG-3.
Paul J. Lantelgne Continue discussion with transition areas
Reba S. McClanan Delete consideration of transitional areas at

Mayor Meyera E. Oberndorf As the Mayor is concerned with the economic
health and viability of Virginia Beach, she
is In favor of not adopting the three (3)
transltlon areas proposed by the Planning
Commission. The first Comprehensive Plan
DRAFT In September did not include these
areas.
Nancy K. Parker Delete consideration of transltional areas at
the present time.
William D. Sessoms, Jr. Continue discussion with transition areas
Mr. Scott distributed "Corrections and Adjustments" to the COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
The "General Policy Statement" revisions relative: Environment, Open Space,
Transportation and Bayside, were distributed to City Council. All reference
showing "Central Business District" would be changed to ',Urban Activity
Center".
Verbiage relative the "Transltlon Areas" was also distributed to City Council.
Mr. Scott displayed maps encompassing Transition Area I and 2. The area
depicted In orange represents "prior converted wetlands". The lntormation
provided on this map reflects general assumptions concerning the location of
prior converted cropland based on a review of 1985 aerial photographs. This map
does not portray deflnitive areas deemed to be jurisdictional wetlands but
otfers what staff believes to be a general portrayal of such areas. White
denotes developable land. Dark green reflects "wet/wetlands". The lighter green
are areas where both trees used as an indicator of possible hydrophytic
vegetation and hydric soils are present. These areas are presumed
undevelopable. The downzoned area is depicted in light yellow.
