ITEM #12037 COUNCILMAN MCCOY ENTERED MEETING AT 1:12 p.m. Councilman Riggs requested the City Manager to supply each Council Member with a list of the benefits offered to senior citizens. ITEM #12038 The City Manager introduced Mr. Willis, president of the Virginia Beach Chamber of Commerce, appeared before Council and stated that the report on the Horse show should be completed by the middle of May. The Neptune Festival Committee returned to Council a check for $20,000, and expressed their gratitude to be City for loaning the Neptune Festival the seed money. 4 / 2 4 / 7 8 - 2 - ITEM #12039 Councilman Griffin informed Council that on October 3, 1977, the Virginia Beach City Council agreed to the establishment of a Mayor's Committee on the Use of Volunteers. The Committee had as its charge to determine if volunteers could be more effectively used within city agencies. Initially, the Committee sought to respond to two major questions: 1. What has the experience been with municipal services volunteer programs in other cities? 2. What are the needs and attitudes relative to municipal services volunteers among City of Virginia Beach department heads and supervisors? In an attempt to obtain answers to these questions, information relative to local government volunteer programs was secured from five Volunteer Information Agencies, eight local governments, and two states. A survey was also conducted of Virginia Beach department beads for their reactions to the utilization of volunteers. The aim of the Virginia Beach City Volunteer Program is to expand and enhance existing city services through utilization of volunteers in services delivery. Implicit in this statement of purpose is the intent to use volunteers to supplement and complement rather than replace city staff. Heads of departments will insure that such is the case and assure departmental staff that volunteers pose no threat to their job security. Failure to promote this assurance could result in lowered staff morale and friction between staff and volunteers. Staff orientation sessions on the status and utilization of volunteers should be undertaken to avoid this situation. The basis of the VBCVP should be the Department-Volunteer Council. Membership would include two individuals from each city agency using volunteers who would serve on the Council - the departmental volunteer coordinator and a volunteer who would represent all volunteers in the department. Those departments not currently using volunteers would be represented by the department head. Initially, the departmental membership would be as follows: 1. Two representatives from using departments (12) a. @lental Health b. Social Services C. Health d. Parks and Recreation e. Agriculture f. Public Libraries 2. One representative from non-using departments (9) g. Planning h. Finance i. Data Processing j. Economic Development k. General Services 1. Personnel M. Permits and Inspections n. Public Works 0. Public Utilities A representative from the Human Resources section of the City Manager's Office would serve as the coordinator of the Council. This individual would be assisted by a volunteer appointed by the Mayor. Thus, 23 people would be eligible for membersbip on the Committee. The Council-Volunteer is to be appointed by the Mayor, and this individual will serve as the liaison between City Council and the City's volunteer program. This person will strive to keep informed about non-city volunteer programs, and relay such information to the Council meeting whenever the Coordinator is unable to do so. Two major committees are needed: a Technical Committee, composed of those employed by the City; and an Advisory Committee, composed of those volunteer 4 / 2 47 8 - 3- representatives. Each committee will serve as a vehicle for the development of individual and group policies. The members of the Mayor's Committee on the Use of Volunteers are as follows: Mr. John R. Griffin, Councilman Mr. R. Bradshaw Pulley, United Community Fund Mrs. Mary Russo, Volunteer Mrs. Dorothy Wood, Volunteer Mrs. Phyllis Hitchler, Director, Personnel Department Mr. Edwin S. Clay, III, Assistant to the City Manager for Public Information and Human Resources. ITEM #12040 The City Manager stated that on May 20, 1974, six parcels of property on Holland Road were rezoned from R-5 to 0-1, subject to the dedication of right-of-way. It was a varying dedication of 30 to 35 feet. However, the development of the pro- perty was not until after the road improvements. Based upon the condition of the land, and the existing location, the application would be rezoned from R-5 to 0-1 if it were brought before Council today. Consequently, it would not be proper at this time to try to either collect the money back from the developer or to try to coerce the property owner to pay the money back. The City Manager requested that the minutes of May 20, 1974 be changed to reflect that,that particular condition of the six parcels would not be part of the rezoning application. ITEM #12041 The City Manager stated that the City Attorney has placed before each Council Member two ordinances. One is an ordinance on the boardwalk, which was unable to be placed in the agenda, and the other is an ordinance regarding tlie date of June I that the personal property taxes are due, and also increasing the penalty 10%. However, at the bottom of the ordinance, when it was adopted stated it did not go into effect until July 1. It should have stated "effective immediately upon adoption." ITEM #12042 At 2:00 p.m., City Council reconvened in the Council Chambers with the following Members present: John A. Baum, Robert B. Cromwell, Jr., George R. Ferrell, Mayor Clarence A. Holland, J. Henry McCoy, Jr., Councilwoman Meyera E. Oberndorf, J. Curtis Payne, Roger L. Riggs, Vice Mayor Patrick L. Standing, and Floyd E. Waterfield, Jr. Council ,4ember absent: John R. Griffin* The invocation was given by the Reverend William E. Austin, Virginia Beach Christian Church, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.
