Standing LAKE PEMBROKE SPILLWAY ITEM #14326 Councilman Baum requested information as to why the City is spending money on the Lake Pembroke Spillway, and why the City doesn't consider relinquishing the easement as it is of no value to Virginia Beach7 The City Attorney indicated he would study this matter and bring the information to Council. COUNCILMAN HOLLAND ENTERED INFORMAL SESSION AT 5:35 p.m. POLICE REPORT-DRUG ABUSE ITEM #14327 The City Manager indicated David Crahl, Planning and Analysis Unit, Virginia Beach Police Department, prepared a report entitled THE ROLE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF POLICE IN THE ENFORCEMENT OF NARCOTICS, ALCOHOL AND VICE STATUTES IN VIRGINIA BEACH. On Wednesda@l/, August 22, 1979, the Norfolk-based newspaper, The Ledger Star, published an article which alleged that drugs and vice are flourishing in Virginia Beach. Moreover, the article charged that the primary reason for this flourishing drug and vice trade was "because high-ranking members of the Virginia Beach Police Department are all but ignoring the problem." The purpose of the reportwas to investigate whether the Department of Police is performing its duties and responsibilities in line with the expectations of citizens regarding the enforcement of narcotics and vice statutes. During the eight and one-half (81/2) year period for which this data was gathered, less than one percent of all citizen-initiated calls for police services dealt with narcotics, alcohol and vice complaints (.99%). Only during the 1972 to 1975 period did the proportion of these particular types of calls marginally exceed the one percent level. More importantly, the proportion of citizen- initiated calls for reporting narcotics, alcohol and vice violations has declined steadily from 1974 to the present. One method to obtain a measure of the nature and extent of any alleged drug problem would be to ascertain the frequency with which different types of substances are distributed and consumed. However, given the nature of illegal drug distribution and consumption, such a method might be somewhat impractical to implement. A more suitable strategy would be to examine some of the more observable by- products of a substance problem. More specifically, it would be advantageous to determine: 1. The number of persons who sought emergency room treatment at area hospitals in any given calendar vear for the abuse of such substances; 2. The number of drug-abuse deaths occurri'ng 1 .n any gi.ven calendar year and which are so classified by medical examiners; and, 3. The types of substances which impelled individuals to seek medical attention or which caused death. Data for the Tidewater area (Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Chesapeake) during 1978 revealed that 232,314 persons visited hospital emergency rooms for the treatment of various conditions and illnesses. Of this number, 1030 were drug-related in the form of overdoses, chronic effects or unexpected reactions. Moreover, this figure indicates that less than one percent (.44%) of all- hospital emergency room visits in Tidewater were for the treatment of drug-related problems. 10/22/79 Other data revealed that during the October, 1977 to September, 1978 time period in Tidewater, the four area medical examiners classified twenty-four (24) deaths as a result of drug abuse. Classes of su@stances which were either directly or indirectly responsible for these twenty-four (24) deaths include: 1. Psychostimulants; 2. Barbiturate and non-barbiturate sedatives; 3. Narcotic and non-narcotic analgesics; 4. Tranquilizers; 5. Anticonvulsants/antinauseants; 6. Inhanents/solvents/aerosols; and, 7. Alcohol when ingested with another substance. The above mentioned substances also caused either directly or indirectly the deaths of eleven persons in Virginia Beach in 1979 and the first six (6) months of 1979. Table V of the report (a copy of which is in the Office of the City Clerk) shows the extent by which the abuse of certain substances led to hospital emergency room treatments in Tidewater during 1978. An analysis of the data contained therein produces some interesting findings. First, the particular therapeutic class of substances which was abused most frequently by persons seeking medical treatment were tranquilizers. These substances accounted for a little over twenty-five(25%) percent of all drugs mentioned during drug-related emergency room contacts in 1978. The short-term effects of a tranquilizer taken in an average dose is the easing of anxiety or tension, the suppression of neurotic or psychotic symptoms as well as improved functioning. Although the long-term effects of frequent or heavy use may result in the destruction of blood cells, jaundice, hypertension, skin rash, blurred vision, decreased initiative, muscle stiffness or convulsions, tranquilizers such as Librium, Valium and Thorazine are actively advertised and promoted to physicians who wish to prescribe these substances to their patients for indefinite periods of time. Accordingly, there is only a negligible black market for this particular class of substance. The second most frequently appearing class of drugs which were mentioned by persons seeking emergency room medical treatment for substance-related problems in Tidewater during 1978 were the non-narcotic analgesics (15.9%). More commonly referred to by such names as Aspirin, Tylenol and Darvon, the pharmacological action of these substances is well-known in relieving a wide variety of maladies, both real and imagined. However, these particular sub- stances are far from harmless. Aspirin, for example, when taken in excessive doses can cause ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding and even death. The third most frequently abused drug category by persons seeking energency room ti,eatment in Tidewater last year for drug-related problems was alcohol when used in combination with some other substance. Given the low proportion of persons who sought emergency room treatment in the Tidewater area during 1978 for drug-related problems, it would seem that the overall level of substance abuse is rather low. Moreover, an examination of the specific types of drugs associated with the emergency room treatments reveal that the classes of substances which are most frequently abused are tranquilizers, non-narcotic analgesics and alcohol in combination with other substances. What the report shows is that the Department of Police is effectively discharging its duties and responsibilities in line with public expectations regarding the enforcement of narcotics, alcohol and vice statutes. I 0 / 2 2 /7 9 4- In addition, the report also showed that while there appears to be only a minimal drug problem in the entire Tidewater area, the most frequently abused substances are tranquilizers, non-narcotic analgesics and alcohol when used in combination with another substance. While legitimate procurement of tranquilizers requires the prescription of E, doctor, many of the non-narcotic analgesics such as Aspirin and Tylenol as well as alcohol can be purchased by consumers directly "over-the- counter" without a prescription. ENCROACHMENTS INTO ATLANTIC AVENUE ITEM #14328 FROM 42nd STREET THROUGH 89th STREET The City Manager indicated Councilman Ervin had requested a report regarding the encroachments into Atlantic Avenue from 42nd Street to 89th Street (Ocean Front). The City Manager indicated for Council's perusal the Staff has placed maps on the wall in the Conference Room showing all encroachments in the areas mentioned above. The City Manager recommended the following: 1. All encroachments not attached to a residence must be removed; 2. All encroachments attached to a residence will be given one (1) year to put in an application to Council requesting the encroachment be permitted; and, 3. Encroachments on the beach (gazebos, sun decks, etc.), owners will be given six (6) months notice to remove them, if not the City will remove them; or the owner could apply for a Council encroachment. 4. After six (6) months notice all residents having encroachment will be given ten (10) days to remove it. Councilman Ervin requested the City Manager to meet with the North Virginia Beach Civic League to show the residents in the area where the encroachments exist. SUBDIVISION LINE FEES ITEM #14329 The City Manager indicated he was requested to compute the exact amount it would cost to refund neighborhoods which had applications, or fifty-one percent (51%), of the residents had signed up for sewer line installation at the rate of $440.00, and those neighborhoods that had fifty-one (51%) and signed at the rate of $575.00. The calcula-tions were based on two assumptions: 1. All residents within a project would be charged the same rates. The rate would be that which represents the lowest rate paid by any resident of the project; 2. All residents of neighborhood sewer projects would receive the $440.00 rate. In an effort to differentiate between the initial financial impact to the Water and Sewer Fund, and the potential loss of revenue, the figures were computed in the following manner: Group A - those neighborhood sewer projects previously completed. The effect of any change on this group would represent an immediate refund. Group B - those sewer projects currently under construction or scheduled for future construction. The effect on this group would represent a loss of future revenue to the Fund. 1 0 / 2 2/7 9 5 The following attachment indicates the minimum refund to customers for projects already completed would be $3,311,930. Added to this would be the minimum future revenue 1 oss of $1 l 53,625 for a total impact of $4 465, 555. In addition, as is indicated in Group C, the tc)tal financial impact on the Water and Sewer Fund if all residents aye offered $440.00. For projects with agreements, this amount totals $5,165,225. For all neighborhood sewer projects, it is $5,498,220. It should be noted, however, that all of the figures are minimum as they represent calculations based on minimum line fees (100-foot frontages). Frontages larger than this could substantially increase the numbers. Also, this does not begin to address the administrative costs which would be associated with the refund and recalculations of over 19,000 line fees. Mr. Aubrey V. Watts, Director of Public Utilities, appeared regarding this matter. BROCHURE - SITE PLAN REQUIREMENTS ITEM #14330 SMALL SUBDIVISION The City Manager passed to Council a brochure on Site Plan Requirements for the small subdivision.
