FY 1995-1996 OPERATING BUDGET
FY 1995/1996 - 2000/2001 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
ITEM # 39001 (Continued)
The final Ordinance ts the Appropriation Ordinance. Section 5 on page 0-54 encompasses the City's
reserve policy and continues to be a part of the ordinance and has been for the past ten years Section
8, Page 0-55, reflects some changes to update and reduce paperwork on issues of transfers. The City
Manager is authorized to make appropriation transfers up to $25,000. Between $25,000 and $I00,000,
the City Manager is to provide prior notice tn written form to the City Council of proposals for such
transfers. This essentially adjusts for inflation
On page S-1, Revenue from Local Sources, Dean Block advised the difference between Actual 1993-
1994 Real Estate-Current $197,691,702 and 1995-1998 Estimated $212,884,789, includes the tax
increase. The estimate for delinquent taxes ts also included
The Legislative Department ts comprised of the Mumcipal Council and the City Clerk's Office. The City
Clerk advtsed her staff ts one positron short wtth a much heavier workload. A temporary employee has
been engaged to perform the opttcal scanning, but this does not cover the increased demand for servtce..
The Legislative Department budget mcreases by less than 1%
The City Manager's Budget is 1.1% greater than the adjusted FY 1994-95 Operating Budgets funding.
The City Manager advised relative the Positron Summary, the Executive is' comprtsed of the City Manager,
Chtef of Staff - Oral Lambert and Assistant City Manager - Robert Matthlas. The Professional category
encompassed Diane Roche and Kathleen ttassen
The City Treasurer advtsed their Budget increases by 2.7%. The Ctty Council chd fund special data
processing equipment for hts office, and as a result they are the largest single processor of state and
estimated income in the State outside of Richmond. The City Treasurer beheves this is one of the reasons,
the Governor did not cut the funding as much as he had previously indicated he would. The City
Treasurer initiated a Study Committee with the goal to go to an autonmted assessment process for
personal property. A btll will be forwarded tn March or April with the Ctty decal ttemized on the personal
property bill Combtning thts in one bill will eliminate approximately 300,000 transacttons. This would
be sent early in March with a deadline for June Sixth. Hopefully, this will mcrease collection. The City
Treasurer believed, if the decal sales could be ehminated, this' could possibly amount to $100,000 per year
in savings and postage State Law does allow for bills less than $15.00, not to be assessed or mailed.
The Mtddle Management category position is a reclassification with a decrease in one professional
position The Treasurer's' office have to cut 25 man weelcv of labor from the program to identify out-of-
date decals As a result, many vehicles were not noticed Approximately $1/4 to $1/2-MILLION in direct
annual revenue results from delinquency m personal property taxes.
The Commonwealth's Attorney, Robert J Humphreys, advised a provision was in the State Budget that
reqmred his office to collect dehnquent City fines plus costs. As a result tn Calendar Year 1994,
approximately $800,000 has been collected, a 30% return on unpaid fines and costs. Even though,
legally requtred to provide full funding of this office, the Compensatton Board provides reimbursement
on less than 41% of the total operattng cost of the office Virgmla Beach has had to provide full funding
for twelve (12) of the current positions, m order to maintain services at an acceptable level. The
Compensation Board has estabhshed a staffing formula for attorneys, whtch suggests Virginia Beach is
severely undermanned This has not been funded by the General Assembly, but Commonwealth's Attorney
Humphreys has been designated to represent the Commonwealth Attorney relative Governor Allen's
administration 'S Biennial budget The Commonwealth's Attorney's Office presently has about four attorneys
who donate their time one-day-per-week handhng the less serious cases. The Commonwealth's Attorney
suggested the transfer of City Attorney Circuit Court criminal prosecution to the Commonwealth's Attorney
Office. Currently, the City Attorney provides attorney and support staff for prosecuting Class I and II
mtsdemeanor appeals, as well as on-call assistance to the Police Department for driving under the
influence

ITEM # 39001 (Continued)
Currently the City Attorney 'S office provides two attorneys daily for DUI on-call assistance and some part
of each day in court. In addition, they provide 4 addttional attorney days per week to handle misdemeanor
appeals and support staff. If this function ts shifted to the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office there would
need to be 3 attorneys, 1 legal assistant and 1 clerk to effectively provide the same services, as provided
by the City Attorney.
Chief Deputy Paul Lantetgne, represented the Sheriff's Department. The majortty of the funding is
provtded by the State (77.8%) The remaining funding comes from the City (16.3%), the federal
government (3.9%), and the rest from fees and charges for services provided. Page 127 displays the
Funding Summary. The total recommended budget ts actually an 8.9% decrease this year. In the last
four years, funding from the City has decreased from $1 1-MILLION tn 1992-1993 to over $658,000 of
this year, which is approximately a 40% reduction. Approximately $250,000 to $300,000 or more per
year on the Inmate Telephone Spectal Revenue Fund Account has been expended on inmate services,
i e an additional 204 beds has been added Chief Deputy Lantetgne advised relative the Position
Summary that an UnderShertff and the Chtef Deputy posttton were combtned tnto one. The total FTE's
rematn the same The starting Deputy Salary tn Virginia Beach ts $19,148.00. Many deputtes are leaving
to transfer to the Pohce Department. The City of Chesapeake's deputies are supplemented at $1.8-
MILLION per year at a starting salary of $20,600.00, which increases to $23,800.00 after completion
of Basic Deputy School Therefore, there ts approximately a $4,000 dtfference. A Salary Supplement for
Deputies would provide funding above the State's salary level for permanent positions ($363,600). This
wouM provide $1200 per deputy per year or $100 per month This coupled with the supplemental
retirement would be within $2000 of the Chesapeake's deputies. At the present time there is approximately
a 4% attrition rate. The Beach Pohce Officer's salary ts approximately $3,000 more than the Sheriff's
Deputy and the Beach Police Officer's salary is approxtmately $1,000 below a Chesapeake Police Officer.
Relative page 12-4, Chief Deputy Lantetgne advtsed 563 is' the DOC rated capacity of the facility. There
were 337people over the rated capactty tn FY 1994-95. The Shertff's Department has recetved a contract
from the State for cleanmg up 1-44 Mayor Oberndorf comphmented the office for this endeavor.
Judy McClenny represented the Commissioner of the Revenue's Office Contractual Services increased
46.5%. Thts resulted from postage and telecommumcatton increases Every year, the Commissioner's
Office has been in a minus situation wtth thts particular category, thus the increase. However, over all
funds are returned to the Ctty
Mr. Block advised Courts and Court Support encompasses three courts Circuit, General District and
Juventle and Domesttc Relattons Distrtct, the Office of the Magtstrate, Pubhc Defender's Office, Medical
Examiner's Office, as well as Court Support Units. Of the $2 5-MILLION budget for the entire area,
$1 1-MILLION, or shghtly more than 40%, ts utthzed to pay for hous#tg of juveniles in secure and less
secure pre-and post disposttton Durtng FY 1994-1995, as a conttnuing attempt to manage costs of
secure detention, ensure access to a mmtmum number of beds and to manage the population in secure
detentton, the Cities of Virginia Beach attd Chesapeake extended an existing joint agreement through
September 30, 1999, for use of the Tidewater Detention Home The joint agreement fixes the per diem
at TDH at $41.41 from July 15, 1995, through September 30, 1999, which saves Virgima Beach $204,510
for FY 95-96 alone, based on the current per diem of $58 59 The agreement guarantees Virginia Beach
mimmum access to 35 beds from February 1, 1995, through August/September 1995 and then 40
throughout the life of the agreement Acknowledging the need to address the increasing demand for
juventle secure detention, the Ctty Councd estabhshed a Capital Improvement Project #3-024 in the FY
93-94 CIP to construct a 40-bcd secure detentton facdtty tn l/irgtnta Beach estimated to cost $5.3-
MILLION If the project is approved by the State Board of Youth and Family Servtces, the City may
recetve State funding of approxtmately 50% of constructton costs and 66% of annual operating costs

ITEM # 39001 (Continued)
The clerk of the General District Court, Claude B Rolhngs, III, advtsed there is a 15.9% increase in its
operating budget. Caseload and workload increases are due to the addition of new laws, including:
defendant notification laws' resulting in the issuance of 250-300 bills per day, roadside administrative
suspenston of operators's hcense tn DUI arrests, suspenston of operator's hcense for failure to pay court
fines and costs tn crtmtnal cases, laws' of confidenttahty to protect vtcttms of crtme, prosecutor's use of
certtfted coptes of prtor convtcttons tn new felony sentencing, federal government acceptance of
garnishments on earnings of federal and mihtary personnel, and expansion of the court's jurisdiction to
juveniles tn cases where juvemles have been accused of committing subsequent crtmes after having been
certtfied to be trted as adults tn Ctrcutt Court For all courts', caseload could be further impacted as 17
additional local pohce officers are htred as a result of the Federal Violent Crime Control and Law
Enforcement Act of 1994. The current convtctton rate for DUI cases is over 80%.
Frederick C. Jenks, III, Clerk of Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court, advised their problems
are not of the type which would impact the Ctty greatly at the present time, as the new Judicial Center
provides adequate office space. However, the Governor allowed for no tncrease tn staffing. In the past
two years, the caseload has tncreased by over 5,000 new cases. The State wtde average is 900 cases per
employee. With only one employee, 4,000 cases had to be absorbed. The Court is Number One in the
State in new cases, and Number One in the State in transacttons However, the Court ts not Number One
in staffing or judges

Revenue's Office This Thursday, the Board wtll finahze appeals' on the current year and the Board will
start heartng appeals' for the new assessment after July First
The City Attorney's Office converts one temporary employee to full-time status and adds a full-time
Investigator, effecttve October 1995, prtmartly to investigate risk ,mnagement claims. The City Attorney
advised the School Board supports one attorney and thts year ts wilhng to provtde a secretary for this
attorney. There will be an agreement between the School Board and the Ctty Council, which will require
the addttion of a Secretary's positron to this Budget at that time, but tt will be funded from the existing
School Budget. It is not an addittonal appropriation, as a transfer from the School Operating Fund. The
outside litigation costs (Risk ManagemenO were $743,000 tit 1989 and this year are approximately $5,000.
This amount will fluctuate tf outstde Counsel must be hired or there are special cases that require special
