ITEM # 41294
Mayor Oberndorf ANNOUNCED the City Manager was attending the International City Manager's
Anwiadon Annual Conference in Washington, D. C October 5 - October 9, 1996. Oral Lambert, Chief
of &aff, will be acting in his stead.
Mr. Lambert introduced David Sullivan, Director of Information Technology.
Mr Sullivan advised the presentation would entail ;rirginia Beach's presence on the WorLd Wide Web,
and the possibility of automating the City Council Agenda Process, whereby the full City Council Agenda
would be available on the Internet to all citizens as well as Council Members. 77ie Planning Commission
is into the second month of distributing their agenda on the Internet Virginia Beach has had a presence
on the Internet since June. This is a World Wide Web Server (www.virginia-beach.va.us). 77tis site can
be accessed from anywhere in the World with a connection to the Internet.
Pam Ford, Citizen Services Coordinator - Office of @blic Information, distributed information relative
the presence of Virginia Beach on the World Wide Web, which is hereby made a part @f the record. Ms.
Ford @ed this site was established in January 1996 as a regional effort with seven (7) other Cities.
7he Public Information Office and the City has been actually communicating with citizens since 1988.
SID, the Electronic Bulletin Board, was programmed in 1988. Then, there was only one phone line into
the Bulletin Board for electronic access. Now, the Internet is worldwide. In February 1996, a committee
was formed that consisted of eight (8) departments re having a presence on the World Wide Web. 7he City
actually went on line the end of May, first part of June and in August 1996, the City had a full presence
on the Internet. 7he City was awarded the "Greater Hampton Roads, Site of the Week Award" in
August, which was based on content, ease of use, friendliness and availability to citizens. The award
allowed the City to have ten (IO)free radio spots aitnou)icing the City's site and location. As of September
1996, there were nineteen (19) City Departments on line, eight of those departments have coded the
informa@n themselves: Libraries, Parks and Recreation, Planning, Public Works, Video Services, Police
Deparbnent, Courb and School System. The Public Information Office with assistance from an Intern
Graphic Designer, formulated the home page and secondary page,
7he home page is divided into ten searchable buttons:
WIL4T's NEW
CITY SEARCH
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
CITY SERVICES
CITY HALL
COUR7'S
NEWS AND EVENTS
TRAVEL AND TOURISM
BUSINESS
ECONOMICDEIIELOPMENT
Future plans for the site are interactive which would be a series of on-line forms where citl-ens could
register for i. e. Parks and Recreation classes, City employment, etc. 7he primary features of each of &he
pages are the Search and E-Mail addresses to allow citizens to send mail to the individual departments
rather than just sending group mail to the Public Information ()fflce-
For the first week of October, there were 17,714 "hits" (individuals clicking on particular files within the
Cigy's World Wide Web) on the site. Primarily, citizens are accessing the City Hall and Citizen Services
Guide. As far as individuals accessing from outside the United States, primarily these inquiries are fi-om
Canada. However, 'hits' have been received from Norway, Ciermany, Spain, the Russian Federation,
Sweder4 New Zealantt Japan, Australia and Ihailand.

Ms. Ford and Mr. Sullivan displayed a Web Site demo illustrating the 'City Hall Button', 'Government
1, "CouneU Button m, "Members Button " (contwning photo"he and biographies)
and 'A@ Ao*nda". 7he Agenda comes from the City Clerk@ Offtce and Ms. Ford does a few
formatting changes and places the City Seal on same. 7his is then shipped to the Internet Provider, a
con"ny based in Newport News. 7he City has a Regional Contract with the seven (7) cities in Hampton
Roads and James City County with this Internet Provider. 7he Provider has an on-line report which
reports usage-
Mr. Sullivan displayed dte Agenda of the Planning Commission, fully illustrated on the World W&de Web,
with staff comments and recommendations and site maps with zoning histories. 7he data reflects
appr@tely 40% of households have a home computer with approximately 20% connected to an online
service. A Search allows the user to type in key words to search and find locations containing these
words.
Mr. Sullivan also displayed the City of Chesapeake's Council "short" Agenda. 7he Board of Supervisors
in San Bernardino, California have a full Agenda on their World Wide Web. 7his particular agenda
contained over 60 items.
Mr. Sullivan invited City Council Members to practice on the "Lap tops ". 7he next City Budget is expected
to be 'on-line'. Planning has a "home page" on the Comprehensive Plan. 7he lap tops would entail
a cost of appr@tely $2,500 each. A personal printer would be approximately $500. Portable printers
are approximately $200-$.300.
Confidential Information would be printed andforwarded to City Council and not placed on the Internet.
However, a secure system could be devised through Electronic Mail to forward Confidential Infornwtion.
Council Lady Parker advised she had been meeting with David Sullivan, Director of Information
Technology, and Ruth Hodges &nith, City Clerk, to e"nd the process to enable a pilot projed of three
Council Members to receive the electronic information rather than having the Courier Delivery.
Mr. Sullivan advised there is no budget appropriation at the present time; however, the main expenditure
would be the equipment utilized by City Council.
Mr. Sullivan did not envision the computers replacing the fax machines.
7'he Mayor and City Council requested a cost proposal be presented to City Council including the entire
City Counci4 not just a pilot group.

CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING
HOMELESS STATUS REPORT
11:50 A.M.
ITEM # 41295
Andrew Fri@m Director of Housing and Neighborhood Prescrvatior; advised on February 6, 19%,
City Council an ordinance to appropriate an $800,000 Gran4 and to authorize the City
Manager to enter Into an option contract for the purchase and rehabilitation of property that will serve
the homeless. On September 15, 19%, a group of five Trirignia Beach non-profit organizations were
awarded $972,000 to provide various services to the homeless. Mr. Friedman displayed the status report
with the utilization of slides. As a result of these two occurrences, new recommendations have been
developed 7he principles that guide in defining recommendations are as follows:
1. 7he problem that is being addressed has several facets, and
there are several types of problems that homeless people face.
7'herefore, a variety of approaches that creates a continuum of
services is necessary. No one single program will solve the
problem.
2 7he ability to provide solutions to the problem will require the
participation of many players, including the Federal
Government, our City Government, non-profit organizations,
churches and synagogues, and other community organizations.
Any proposal should seek to involve all those who can
contribute to a more comprehensive and beneficial solution.
3. 7here are several ongoing programs to assist the homeless that
have developed widespread community support and credibility.
77tese have value and should be preserved. We should not
attempt to create a wholly new progran4 but should rather
build on the strengths of existing progranu.
4. 77ie issue of capital costs cannot be considered independently
of operating costs. Any recommendation must also identify and
attempt to resolve the issue of operating costs.
5. Solutions should attempt to address a "continuum' of
opportunity concept, that provides various levels of programs
that help people with differing needs.
6 Solutions that are most likely to be approved will not result in
the creation of one large new site where all homeless activities
will occur. Rather, the dispersion of smaller sites and activities
will have less impact on their surrounding areas, and be more
likely to receive acceptance from all involved
7. 7he City should seek to preserve its capital investment through
grant and contractual arrangements, rather than through
direct ownership or operation of facilities
A balance should be sought between program stability and
provider competition. Competition can produce increased
effectiveness. However, an annual process of competition for
funds would create a situation where planning and process
improvement cannot occur due to funding uncertainty. In
addition, a large amount of additional administrative work to
conduct an RFP process, evaluate the proposals and write new
contracts would be required, but would not necessarily add any
value to the system. 7herefore, a niul(i-year process is
proposed.

CITY MANAG ER'S BR IEF ING
HOMELESS STATUSREPORT
ITEM # 41295 (Continued)
7his option is basically an idea proposed by Daniel Stone, Director of Social Services, in the Spring.
Dree are ftve elements to the option of Supportive Housing and Serpices:
1. Establish a "day service center" (NOT a shelter)
2. Establish transitional housing units
3. Purchase vehicles to enhance transportation
4. Continue the Winter Shelter Program
S. Assist Judea Christian Outreach to establish
their EducationIHealth Center.
7his option avoids the establishment of a "shelter", thus eliminating the necessity of making a mqior and
controversial land use decision. It significantly enhances the current system bypraviding support services
at a day center, andprovides significant opportunity for advancement through the combination of long-
term housing and services. 7he enhanced transportation service will contribute to the overall operation
of each itenl In addition, the continuation of the Winter Shelter Program means that all persons will be
able to be sheltered during extreme weather. A portion of the $800,000 would be granted to the Virginia
Beach Community Development Corporation to purchase, lease or contract for the creation of a "day
services center'. 7he day service center would require neither a conditional use permit nor a rezoning.
77ieresa Stanley, Winter Shelter Progran4 advised the churches are tired of not having a comprehensive
program for the population served 7his option would be a step forward in providing comprehensive
daytime support for people to transition out of hoinelessnesv.
Possible participants in this program, would be .Samaritan Ilouse, Community Development Corporation,
Community Alternatives, the Wesleyan Methodist Church and the Judeo-Christian Outreach.
7he transitional housing would focus on the single homeless, ]he Day Service Center would assist any
homeless person with no exclusion.
Daniel Stone, Director of Social Services, advised he could not speculate on the overall impact of welfare
reform. 7here is a good possibility when limitations are placed on persons who cannot retain jobs or who
cannotflnd jobs and continue to work these people may very well be affected by a lack of any entitlement.
At least the objective to invest in housing as opposed to a shelter provides flexibility to be utilized for the
future.
Mr. Frie&nan advised Sanwritan House was provided with $200,000 in funds to assist them in
maintaining the same shelter capacity which they previously had Each year, the City also assists
Samaritan House with operating expenses, but there currently is no plan to dramatically or somewhat
expand the family shelter.
At present $375,000 is an estimate for a site for Transitional Housing. At the time, a specific site has not
been determined Once the site and the cost associated with it is identified, the budget for the balance of
the activities could be determined. Depending upon the funds available, the number of housing units could
be determined 77tree persons per housing unit is anticipated with hopefully seven housing units being
available.
Dennis Wool, Director - Mental HealthIMental Retardation, advised this facility creates a continuum, so
that everyone does not have to go to the same place, all at the same time. Some individuals will be living
in houses and working night shifts. Some will be working day shifts and coming home at night. Some will
be going to the Judeo-Christian Outreach. Some will be going to the Day Service Center. 7he more
opportunities available, the less likelihood of creating an "island" where everyone must go.
BY CONSENSUS, City Council requested the City 5taff review the proposal from Judeo-Christian
Outreach in conjunction with the options presented to City Council to determine which would be the
preferable humane and permanent method to have the homeless establish themselves as functioning
members of the community.

Hampton Roads Chanzber of Comnzerce - Firginia Beach
Virginia Beact% with its historical heritage, natural resources such as the Atlantic Ocean, Chesapeake
Bay, two wildlife refuges and attractions like the world-class Virginia Marine Science Museun; has great
potential to create its own distinct identity as a golf destination. Additionally, Irirginia is home to a
number of famous names in golf, such as, Sam Snead, Lanny Wadkins and Curtis Strange. 7hese golfers
should be invited to add their names to Virginia Beach and thereby link our history, natural beauty and
attractions into a product that promotes golf and Virginia Beach. 7he 'links' concept ties the assets of
the City into a sound marketable package. Virginia Beach 6an capitalize on its natural beauty and
promote itself as a golf destination by becoming the "Links Capital of the East Coast". 7his will enable
Virginia Beach to develop a 'niche' theme in the golf market and to promote an international links
tournament base in Virginia Beach. Bayville is a "link" style golf course. Other more famous ones are
located in St. Andrews and Muirfield, Scotland. 7he Committee sees a tiered approach as viable:
7ler I - green feeslcart rental above $100
7ler 2 - green feeslcart rental $50-100
Iler 3 - green feeslcart rental below $50
Iler 4 - military courses
7here is an abundance of 77er 3s in Virginia Beach. 7he Committee wishes to serve all the citizens of
Virginia Beacp% on all levels. 77te Lake Ridge property is an outstanding opportunity and should be the
@tus to the City becoming a golf destination.
Red Mng should be improved immediately utilizing a golf course architect. Redesign of the existing 18
holes, addition of nine holes and learning center and construction of a new state-of-the art clubhouse
would raise Red Wing to Tier 2.
October 8, 1996

CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING
GOLF COURSE TASK FORCE
ITEM # 41296 (Continued)
We& Neck Creek should also be elevated to a Tier 2 course. Additional property and reconftguration of
the proposed layout are needed 7U remaining public -use golf courses in the City, Including Dow Creek
and JromVvilk Greem Municoal courses, are our Iler 3 facilities. 7he long range plans for Dow Creek
and KempsvUle Greens Municipal Gotf Courses should be revisited and addressed with the improvements
for Red Mng facilities. Once Red WTng is upgraded an Agronomist should be added to staff to assist in
maintaining the quality of all municipal courses. 7hese courses should continue to be maintained and
operated for the recreational enjoyment of our residents.
Mr. Bryant highlighted the principal recommendations:
Develop a four or five star Resorl and two signature quality (Tier 1)
go(f courses on Lake Ridge property; a Resort is critical to the overall
plan. 7he developer of this complex must participate as a fall partner in
the final land use plan and development standards for Lake Ridge.
Create an identity for Virginia Beach as the "Links Capital of East
Coast' by a tiered approach to "links" style golf course development.
Elevate Red Wing Golf Course to championship quality (7-ter 2) by
immediately initiating the addition of nine holes and a learning center,
the renovation of the existing 18 holes, and a new modern clubhouse.
Elevate the proposed West Neck Creek Golf Course to championship
quality (77er 2) by reconfiguring the current layout with additional
property acquisition.
Provide afufl time position or effort toward golf development within the
@rtment of Economic Development.
Susan Walston advised the City is in the process of advertising for design of the Red Wing Golf Course,
which is funded in the Capital Improvement Program. Requests for Proposals stipulated not only desig@
but a phasing approac.% which allowed for construction of an additional nine holes, renovation of the
@dng 18 holes and a new club house. Ms. Walston advised construction would probably not begin until
1998. 7he funding in the Capitid Improvement Program is for design only.

and need to know the amount of revenue to be deleted. As the telephone companies come into the cable
fleld and as the cable companies go into providing phone service, they are arguing that they should not
be covered by any @ use laws of any locality and should not have to pay a franchise fee. 7here is a
cable company suing the City of Dearboryi, Michigan, and that City Council is fighting single handedly
because they stand to lose a lot of revenue for their general fund.
Mr. Lambert will advise the City Council relative this issue.

Councibnan Baum advised there have been many questions from the landowners for many years why the
City has no programs to reopen these large canals. 7he canalv cannot be cleaned out because of the
Wetlands provisions. 7he material can be dug out of the canal, but not placed anywhere. 7'he 1972 Clean

recognizes that certain facts, estimates and representations set forth in the Certificate as to
Arbitrage executed by VPSA in connection with the issuance of the VPSA's Bonds must be based
on the representations and certifications of the Issuer and that the exclusion from gross income
for federal income tax purposes of the interest on the VPSA's Bonds depends on the use of
proceeds of the VPSA's and the Issuer's Bonds. Accordingly, the Issuer hereby covenants that@
Section 1. Dc3criRti n o Pr ' . The proceeds of the Bonds, including investment
income thereon ("proceeds"), will be used to finance the acquisition, construction, and equipping

respect to the use of proceeds of the Bonds and the facilities financed therewith:
(a) n neral. No more than ten percent (10%) of the proceeds of the Bonds

constitute a 'Private Use" (as such term is defined below in subsection (d) of this Section
2). No more than ten percent (101/o) of the principal of or interest on the Bonds, under
the terms thereof or any underlying arrangement, has been, or, so long as the Bonds are

of the Bonds (if any), no more than five percent (5%) of the principal of or interest on

0 ZHAREMEBNMAM@.BSA C-4
(b) Remot As of the date of the Official Intent Declaration,
the issuer reasonably expected to reimburse such expenditures with the proceeds of a
borrowing. The Issuer does not have a pattern of failing to reimburse expenditures for
which an intention to reimburse such expenditures was declared and which were actually
paid by the Issuer other than in circumstances that were unexpected and beyond the
control of the Issuer.
(c) Reimbu sement criod ment, The proceeds derived from the sale of
the Bonds to be applied to reimburse the above-described expenditures will be so applied no later

Pursuant to the Virginia Conflict of Interests Act, Section 2.1-639.14(G), Code of
Virginia, I make the following declaration:

Re: Conflict of Interests Opinion
Dear Councilman Heischober:
I am writing in response to your request for an opinion regarding your ability to
Participate in City Council's discussion and vote on the applications of Disabled Veterans of
Virginia Beach, Inc. for a conditional change of zoning and a conditional use Permit on a
1.45 acre parcel of property located on Bonney Road. The applications are scheduled for
the October 8, 1996, meeting of the Council.
SUMMARY CONCLUSION
From my review of the State and Local Govenunent Conflict of Interests Act (the
"Act") and the information provided by you as referenced below, I am of the opinion that
you do not have a 'personal interest in the applications of Disabled Veterans of Virginia
Beach, Inc. for a conditional change of zoning and a conditional use permit. Thus, you
would be permitted to participate in Council's discussion and vote on the applications without
restriction. For your information, I have outlined the disclosure requirements of § 2.1-
639.14(G) of the Act should you desire to disclose your relationship and participate. I have
also outlined the applicable provisions for abstention set forth in § 2.1-639.14(E) of the Act
should you choose not to participate.
FACTS PRESENTED
Your request for an advisory opinion is generated by the Council's discussion and
vote on the applications of Disabled Veterans of Virginia Beach, Inc. for a conditional
Councilman Harold Heischober -2- January 9, 1996
change of zoning and a conditional use permit. You have advised that your concern and
reason for requesting this opinion is that you are a member of Disabled Veterans of Virginia
Beach, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, and serve as Chairman of its Building
Comniittee. You have further advised, however, that you do not receive any @ or other
compensation from Disabled Veterans of Virginia Beach, Inc., do not have any ownership
interest in the corporation, and do not assume any liability on behalf of the corporation.
Please review and verify the accuracy of the facts as set forth as you may only rely
upon this opinion if they are correct and complete.
ISSUE PRESENTED
Does the Conflict of Interests Act preclude you from participating in City Council's
discussion and vote on the applications of Disabled Veterans of Virginia Beach, Inc. for a
conditional change of zoning and a conditional use permit?
I. Applicable Definitions of the Act.
A. City Council is a governmental agency, as it is a legislative branch of local
government as defined in § 2.1-639.2 of the Act.
B. You are an officer within the meaning of § 2.1-639.2.
C. Council's discussion and vote on the applications of Disabled Veterans of
Virginia Beach, Inc. constitutes a "transaction" as defined by the Act. A transaction includes
any matter considered by any governmental agency on which official action is taken or
contemplated.
D. "Personal interest" is defined in § 2.1-639.2 as a financial benefit of liability
which accrues to an officer, employee, or to an immediate family member. The interest
exists by reason of one of five categories specified therein as: 1) ownership in a business
if the ownership interest exceeds 3 % of the total equity of the business; 2) annual income
from Ownership in real or personal property or a business in excess of $10,000.00; 3) salary
from the use of property or paid by a business that exceeds $10,000.00 annually; 4)
ownership of real or personal property when the interest exceeds $10,000.00 in value,
exclusive of ownership in a business, or salary; and 5) personal liability incurred or assumed
on behalf of a business which exceeds 3 % of the asset value of the business.
Councilman Harold Heischober -3- January 9, 1996
E. A "personal interest in the transaction" exists when an officer or employee or
a member of his immediate family has a personal interest in property or a business or
represents any individual or business and such property, business or represented individual
(i) is the subject of the transaction or (ii) may realize a reasonably foreseeable direct or
indirect benefit or detriment as the result of the agency considering the transaction.
II. Application of Definitions
A. Personal Interest
A personal interest exists by reason of one of five specified categories, as noted above
in the definition of "personal interest". Specifically, my review of those categories and the
facts presented indicate that with respect to Disabled Veterans of Virginia Beach, Inc., you
do not receive any salary or other compensation from the corporation, do not have any
ownership interest in the corporation, and do not incur or assume any personal liability on
behalf of the corporation. Therefore, I conclude that you do not have a "personal interest"
in Disabled Veterans of Virginia Beach, Inc. as defmed by the Act.'
B. Personal Interest in the Transaction
You do not have a "personal interest" as defined above; therefore, you cannot have
a 'personal interest in the transaction" as defined in the Act.
III. Disclosure Reguirements
Based on the fact that you do not have a personal interest in the applications of
Disabled Veterans of Virginia Beach, Inc. for a conditional change of zoning and a
conditional use permit, you are not restricted in voting as to the applications. Nevertheless,
l'Ibree opinions of the Attorney General dealing with directors or board members are of
relevance: President of a Virginia Community College who serves on the advisory board of directs of a
private bank and who receives $800 annually from the bank for his services is not required to disqualify
himself from transactions involving the college because he does not have a personal interest in the bank.
COI Adv. Op. No. 46 (1984). A member of a local board of supervisors who also serves as a nonpaid
director of a county community action agency is not required by the Act to disqualify himself from the
board's consideration of the agency's funding request absent the member having a financial interest in
the agency. COI Adv. Op. No. 81 (1986). By definition, a sanitation commission member who also
serves as chairman of a county service authority and who does not receive in excess of $10,000 from both
the comniission and the authority does not have a "personal interest" in either body and, thus, need not
disqualify himself from participating in a transaction involving both bodies. COI Adv. Op. No. 76
(1986).
Councilman Harold Heischober -4- January 9, 1996
if you are concerned that your participation in Council's discussion and vote on the
applications may create some appearance of impropriety because of your position, there are
two options available to you which may diffuse any perception problems that may arise:
1. You may either disclose the facts as presented herein and proceed to vote as
to the applications; or
2. You may abstain from voting and disclose any interest.
Should you decide to declare your interest and vote, a proposed disclosure letter
which complies with § 2.1-639.14(G) is enclosed for your convenience. You may either
make this declaration orally, which is to be recorded in the written n-dnutes of the City
Council, or you may file a signed written declaration with the Clerk of the City Council,
who shall retain and make this document available for public inspection for a period of five
years from the date of recording or receipt.
The Conflict of Interests Act deals with the types of influences upon a public officer's
judgment which are clearly improper. The law does not, however, protect against all
appearance of improper influence. In that respect, the Act places the burden on the
individual officer to evaluate whether the facts presented create an appearance of impropriety
which is unacceptable or which would affect the confidence of the public in the officer's
ability to be impartial. I have opined that you may participate in Council's discussion and
vote on the applications without restriction. I have also opined that you may choose to
disclose your interest and participate. However, if you are concerned that participating, even
after disclosure, could create an unacceptable appearance, you may abstain from participating
under § 2.1-639.14(E) provided that you first disclose your interest in the transaction.
Please contact me should you desire any additional information.
Very truly yours,
e L. IAHey
City Attorney
