"Should the Council determine that additional funding cannot be made
available without an increase in local tax rates, it shall formally notify
the School Board. The School Board shall then request of Council an
increase in local tax rates to a level necessary to generate the additional
funding after the School Board has hem a public hearing on the issue of
whether local tax rates shouM be increased for Schools and for what
School purposes. The School Board will provide such request in the
form of an approved School Board Resolution. City Council shall
consider such request, and its discretion determine the appropriate
action, including consideration of a referendum on the school budget
and associated tax increases. City Council does not intend to consider
any request from the School Board for increased local tax rates for
school purposes except pursuant to this policy. Otherwise, it would be
Council policy to provide funding at the revenue sharing policy level
If,, after deliberation and appropriate public involvement, including the
results of any referendum held, the Council supported a tax rate
increase for Schools, the increase would become a part of the School
revenue share for the fiscal year budget being developed and for all
future fiscal years. An example of such an adjustment is included in
Attachment B of this report.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AND THE VIRGINIA BEACH
SCHOOL BOARD
WHEREAS, each year, the Virginia Beach School Board is
required to submit a proposed budget to City Council, and the
council must decide to either approve the Board's budget, as
submitted, or reduce funding to the Board, based upon the

programs and public education;
WHEREAS, the City Manager has provided City Council, and
the Council has reviewed, a Policy Report entitled "Virginia Beach
Revenue-Sharing Policy for City/Public School Purposes;" and
WHEREAS, City Council has determined that adoption and
implementation of the revenue-sharing policy recommended in said
Report is the most prudent method by which to allocate to the City
of Virginia Beach and the Virginia Beach School Board,
respectively, certain General Fund revenues estimated to be
available in a given fiscal year to fund a portion of the City's
budget, and to fund the local share of the School Board's operating
budget, local debt service costs, and pay-as-you-go capital
improvements.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA:
That City Council hereby adopts the attached policy for

The purpose of this policy is to establish a procedure for allocating to the City of Virginia Beach (the
"City") and the Virginia Beach School Board (the "School Board'), respectively, certain General Fund
revenues estimated to be available in a given fiscal year.
2.0
Council Policy
2.1
Beginning with the development and adoption of the operating and capital budgets for Fiscal Year
1997-98, 53.13% of the General Fund revenues estimated to be generated from the real estate,
personal property, general sales, utility, cellular telephone and business license taxes, and from
cable television franchise fees, shall be allocated to the School Board to fund the local share of
the School Board's operating budget, local debt service costs, and pay-as-you-go capital
improvements. The remaining 46.83% of such revenues shall be allocated to the City to fund a
portion of the City's operating and capital budgets.
2.2
If, at the end of the fiscal year, the actual revenues generated from the above-referenced sources
("actual revenues") exceed the revenues that were estimated to be generated from those sources
("estimated revenues"), the amount of excess revenues shall be shared by the City and the School
Board in the same proportion that estimated revenues were shared; provided that such excess
revenues shall only be shared after the necessary resources for the Fund Balance Reserve Policy
have been determined and fulfilled. If, however, the City anticipates, at any time during the fiscal
year, that actual revenues will fall below estimated revenues, the School Board, upon notification
by the City Manager of such an anticipated shortfall, will be expected to reduce expenditures, to
the extent possible, in an amount up to, but not to exceed, 53.13% of the anticipated shortfall.
Finally, if, at the end of a fiscal year, actual revenues do, in fact, fall below estimated revenues,
and the amount of the School Board's reduction in expenditures is less than 53.13% of the actual
shortfall, the City reserves the right to reduce the amount of any surplus returned to the Board
in an amount up to, but not to exceed, the difference between the amount of the Board's
reduction in expenditures and 53.13% of the actual shortfall.
3.0
Procedure to Accomolish Policy
The City Manager shall use the above-stated revenue-sharing methodology in the development of the
proposed operating and capital budgets to be presented to City Council as part of the annual budget
preparation/review process. The City Manager shall further use the procedures and processes set forth
in the attached Policy Report entitled 'Virginia Beach Revenue-Sharing Policy for City/Public School
Purposes," a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated in this policy.

ResoonaibiliW of School Board
4.1
If the School Board determines a need for additional local funding to maintain its current level of
operations, or to provide for additional initiatives, it shall make a formal written request to City
Council, through its Chairman, stating the purpose(s) for which the additional funding is needed,
and the amount of additional funding required.
4.2
If City Council determines that additional local funding cannot be made available without an
increase in local tax rates, it shall formally notify the School Board. The School Board shall then
request City Council to increase local tax rates to a level necessary to generate the additional
funding after the Board has held a public hearing on the issue of whether local tax rates should
be increased for the purpose of providing additional funding for specific public education
purposes. City Council does not intend to consider any request from the School Board for
increased local tax rates for public education purposes unless the request is submitted in
accordance with this policy.
5.0
Revisions to Policy
This policy shall be reviewed, and revised as appropriate or necessary, (a) whenever a rate increase for
any of the above-referenced taxes has been adopted; (b) whenever the funds made available to the
School Board pursuant to this policy, when combined with estimated federal and state revenues available
to the Board, are not adequate to meet the State Board of Education's mandated "standards of quality";
and (c) periodically, in the discretion of City Council, but in any event, not later than December 31,
2O0O.

VIRGINIA BEACH REVENUE SHARING POLICY
FOR CITY \ PUBLIC SCHOOL PURPOSES
BACKGROUND
The V~rg~n~a General Assembly and the people of V~rgln~a provided for popular elect~on of school board
members, effective ~n '1994 The power of taxation was not prowded such elected school boards Th~s
fundamentally changed the relationship of school boards ~n V~rg~n~a to the local governing bodies in that
board members m~ght reflect d~fferent platforms than the local governing body, thus setting up two sets
of c~t~zen priorities to be acted upon by the two bodies School systems, ~nclud~ng V~rg~n~a Beach, are
seeking more fiscal autonomy ~n order to respond to their constituencies However, under the V~rg~n~a
Constitution, and for the foreseeable future, the C~ty Council retains sole respons~b~hty and authority to
levy taxes for local government needs, including education
During the same t~me that V~rgima Beach saw a transition to an elected School Board, ~t was also
matunng as a C~ty Th~s maturation brought to both C~ty government and to the Schools the challenges
of changing demographics and aging ~nfrastructure maintenance Th~s, coupled w~th a decline ~n federal
support, stagnant growth in state basic a~d for education, and slower growth ~n the pup~l population has
led to requests ~n recent years for local tax support for education which, even ~f possible ~n the short-run,
could not be sustained over t~me To add to these concerns, local revenue growth has been subject to
s~gn~ficant fluctuation over the decade of the 1990's It ~s also clear that local revenues, on average, w~ll
not grow as rapidly as was the experience of the 1980's.
These changes have led to the emergence of two ~mportant trends ~n V~rgima Beach.
D~sagreement over allocations of funding between the C~ty and the School Board have cleady
~nd~cated that the present allocation mechanism and process, despite the good wdl and best
efforts of many, requires a change
Demands for non-school related spending ~n the C~ty are growing, raising the potential for a pubhc
sh~ft~ng of priority away from School spending For example, juvenile crime concerns are
~mpact~ng police, courts, related services, and has created the need for the construction of the
C~ty's first juvende detention facd~ty which, when opened, wdl cost the C~ty an estimated additional
$1 m~ll~on per year to operate Th~s comes w~th~n recent memory of past questionable School
construction priorities and costs The current School Board and administration has worked to
restore pubhc confidence ~n School administration and needs the assurance that School funding
~s protected from a possible backlash response, and that a fair share of revenue growth of the
General Fund of the C~ty always be available to the School Board.
An altemat~ve method of establishing a predictable means of shanng fairly and objecttvely expected local
revenues should enable the School Board members to better assume their respons~bd~ty for the
allocation of avadable resources to meet the educational needs of all the C~ty's pubhc school students
At the same t~me, such a process wdl provide a stable platform to protect the level of school funding ~n
the face of pressing demands for other C~ty services--needs ~n public safety, roads, mass transit, and
hbranes, to name a few
Policy Report REVENUE SHARING POLICY FOR CITY \ PUBLIC SCHOOL PURPOSES
February 25, 1997
The ability to predict future resources would a~d the Schools ~n strategic planning and management Th~s
report examines the establishment of a mechanism to share local revenues, and the growth of those
revenues (not associated w~th tax rate changes) between School and C~ty programs, on a predictable
bas~s which would allow greater ease ~n determ~mng future local resources for School purposes
CONSIDERATIONS
1. Budgetary Considerations The very nature of this ~ssue makes ~t, pnmanly, one w~th budget
considerations These are d~scussed in detail following.
A
The implementahon of an established methodology to d~stnbute avadable resources of the
government would allow long range program and budget planning for the Schools, and would
establish a balance between School programming needs and the needs of the w~de range of
other government programs of the C~ty
This would reduce the feeling among School staff and C~ty staff that they need to sell "their"
programs over other programs dunng the budget development process In that many agencies
contribute to meeting the total needs of our chddren (e g, L~branes, Parks and Recreation), so
also do Schools support the strategic goals of the C~ty beyond education (e g, economic wtal~ty,
stable famdies ) The Iowenng of compet~bve bamers would foster a systems approach to these
goals among all agencies supported by the tax payers
An additional benefit would be to allow the School Board to hear c~t~zen concerns about Schools,
while City Council would hear concerns focused on general government
The proposed policy would not change the current manner ~n which any year-end School
Operabng Fund balances of the Schools are handled These would continue to be made avadable
to the School Board for non-recurring expenditures
Year-end excess revenues over estimated revenues for those revenues designated ~n the Policy
would be pooled and, after fulfilhng fund balance reserve requirements, the remaining excess
revenues would be d~wded between C~ty and School needs, utdlz~ng the same percentage shares
as used for the fiscal year from which the revenues derived These funds would be d~stnbuted
after final financial "books were closed" for the given fiscal year As w~th other year-end balances,
these would be restncted to use for non-recurnng expenditures such as capital outlay, buy down
of future School related debt, or planned major fac~hty rehab~htahon or renovahon
C
A budgetary allocation pohcy can be based upon a "revenue shanng model" or an "expenditure
growth model" Revenue shanng allocates a share of available revenues, according to a pre-
determined equation, whereas an expenditure growth model m~ght, for example, define an
allocation for schools as "last year's funding plus ~nflahon and pup~l growth" The revenue shanng
model has been proposed for V~rg~ma Beach for several reasons which ~nclude
1)
The revenue sharing model can be applied fairly The result of the pohcy ~s an amount of
resources for Schools and an amount for all other C~ty services Thus, ~f School needs
exceed the revenue share for Schools, the School staff and Board members could present
that need to the Councd and the public Likewise, if other C~ty programs are pressed to
grow beyond their allocahon, then C~ty staff must persuade the pubhc that the new
revenues are required
2) The revenue sharing model is the most commonly used by other Iocahties
3)
Given legal requirements that local government expenditures not exceed avadable
revenues, and the real hm~tahons on revenue growth, an expenditure growth model cannot
be applied fairly to all programs W~th I~m~ted revenue growth, the guarantee of a certain
level of expenditure growth to some programs does so by denying the same growth to other
programs. Revenue sharing allows growth to be spread fairly among vanous programs.
Policy Report REVENUE SHARING POLICY FOR CITY \ PUBLIC SCHOOL PURPOSES

4)
A basic premise of public budgeting is that budgets must be revenue based-revenue
driven, not needs based This ~s true because "needs" are wrtually hm~tless and they are
hn the eye of the beholder", whde revenues are I~m~ted There ~s always a greater demand
for government spending than can be supphed An expenditure growth model or s~mdar
model based on "needs" ~gnores th~s reahty.
5)
An expenditure based model ~mphes that current expenditure levels are the "base" and all
new programs and ~n~t~at~ves are dependent upon expenditure growth Both the changing
environment of the C~ty, and real fiscal restraints require that ex~st~ng programs be rewewed
~n light of strategic goals, key ~nitiat~ves, and program effectiveness
A revenue sharing model is a better model in that ~t encourages staff of both the C~ty and the
Schools to seek out programs which m~ght be d~scont~nued or restructured to free up ex~stmg
resources for growth of another program Expenditure growth models, conversely, tend to
reward those programs which spend more
2. Legal Considerations: There am several legal considerations that ~mpact local funding for education
A
The Code of V~rg~n~a (Chapter 8 Article 1) requires that a local governing body appropriate to
pubhc schools funds adequate to prowde the apportioned local cost of meeting the standards of
quahty established by the State The C~ty of V~rgln~a Beach currently prowdes local resources
more than 40% over the standards of quality apportionment In that the proposed revenue
sharing pohcy ~s based on current resources, there should be no legal ~ssues w~th the local
support which would be provided to Schools under the proposed revenue shanng pohcy If the
State were to dramatically alter educational funding formulas, an adjustment to the pohcy m~ght
be needed.
Whde them am acknowledged hmitat~ons on the School system's abd,ty to reduce expenditures
during a School year, due to contractual obhgat~ons, the proposed revenue shanng pohcy
provides that the School system would be expected to reduce expenditures, upon nohficat~on by
the City Manager of s~gnlflcant revenue shortfalls ~n the revenues ~dent~fied for shanng Wh~le ~t
~s desirable that the Schools would share ~n the shortfall on the same percentage bas~s as the
total resources shadng occurs, some flex~bd~ty on this ~ssue must be retained by the C~ty Manager
to consult with the Superintendent regarding ~mpacts of any reduction ~n a g~ven year
C
This ties to another legal (and practical) consideration related to the need for a revenue shanng
policy that of the I~m~ts on Councd oversight of the Schools finances and budget, and the
concomitant power whmh th~s provides the School Board These hm~ts are often not well
understood and are re-~terated here
The C~ty Council cannot change a budget appropnat~on to Schools, once ~t ~s made, except
w~th the agreement or by the request of the School Board Further, once the funds are
appropriated, the School Board has full d~scret~on as to their use
In making appropnabons to the Schools, the Councd ~s I~m~ted as to the level of detad at
which appropriahons can be made It can make appropnahons for the School Operahng
Fund at no greater level of detail than the broad "categories" of (1) Instruction, (2)
Administration, attendance and health, (3)Pup~l Transportation, (4) Operation and
Maintenance; and (5) Facd,hes Typmally, the "Instruction" category represents 80% of the
total School Operating Fund budget The School Board has full discretion ~n d~rechng
resources within these broad categories
Thus, the C~ty Councd, for example, cannot d~rect resources toward or away from
add~bonal School personnel, toward or away from new or expanded School programs, or
toward or away from classroom supplies and materials Th~s contrasts w~th the C~ty
Council's legal abd~ty to provide ~n-depth review and d~rechon regarding levels of funding
Pohcy Report REVENUE SHARING POLICY FOR CITY \ PUBLIC SCHOOL PURPOSES
February 25, 1997
and priorities for all other departments of the C~ty--even those operated by consbtut~onal
officers
What is proposed in this report is the establishment of a C~ty Council policy The Counc,I has the
legal ability to d~rect the C~ty Manager to "earmark" or "fence" a particular amount of local
revenues for any purpose it deems appropriate In the case of Schools, Standards of Quahty
funding must be met, as noted above Th~s policy would establish gu~dehnes for the level of local
resources earmarked for all educational purposes--SOQ and above that level, for the local share
of operations, pay-as-you-go capital ~mprovements and debt service
3. Personnel Considerations: In that Schools would receive the full local revenue allocation for School
purposes, w~th no set-aside for salanes and fnnge benefits, a budget developed by the Schools could
~nclude any proposed salary or fnnge adjustments for all School personnel Th~s would mean that the
current practice of the C~ty Council providing the same percent of payroll for both C~ty and School salary
and fnnge ~ncreases would not continue Whde th~s might lead to some perception of d~spanty between
treatment of Cfty and School employees, the need for Schools to reflect State achon relative to support
for teacher pay, the practice of "meet and confer" conducted by Schools, and fundamental d~fferences
~n pay structure have h~stoncally made some d~spanty ~nev~table Again, th~s ~s consistent w~th the ~dea
of greater fiscal autonomy In states where school system had ~ts own taxing authonty, there ~s httle effort
to coordinate pay increases w~th other jurisdictions
4. Comparability to other Localities: V~rg~nia school systems are prowded program d~rect~on from the
State, w~th some funding to support mandates Th~s makes ~t ~s useful to compare how local government
ent~t~es determine the level of local revenue support for their Schools A survey was done of Hampton
Roads c~bes and other large counhes and c~t~es ~n V~rg~n~a from November 20 to November 26, 1996
Attachment A provides a summary of that survey. General observations about the results follow
· The policies of those surveyed varied from formal revenue shanng formulas to rehance on
negotiations between school boards and local govermng bodies
Most local budget agencies at least have a "rule-of-thumb" guidehne for growth in local support
to Schools Most Iocaht~es have been using e~ther their current rule or an actual allocabon pohcy
for three to five years
· Localities w~th rapidly growing student populahons tend not to have a formal policy and seem
resigned to much pubhc d~scuss~on of adequate funding levels for school operations and capital
Those Iocal~bes which used a percent of expenditures as the bas~s for allocahon tended to
abandon the allocabon pohc~es when school needs for new capital or major renovations caused
"sp~kes" ~n ~denhfled needs Those Iocal~hes which had allocation methodologies which e~ther
adjusted for debt service, or included debt service in the school allocahon, d~d not experience
these d~fficulbes, as their schools wove capital needs ~nto their operational plans over t~me
· Based on survey results, it ~s clear that any allocation policy needs to be reviewed and possibly
updated penod~cally to address changes ~n funding m~x, or operation to capital ratios for schools
5. Scope and Process: The proposed action of th~s report ~s the estabhshment of a C~ty Councd pohcy,
to be effechve ~mmed~ately for the FY 1997-98 budget development process now ~n progress Th~s
recommendation is brought forward at this time, in part, as a response to the call for "fiscal autonomy"
made by the supenntendent, and in response to the growing need to address the matter forthrightly ~n
a period of transition to dual elected bodies
A C~ty Council policy ~s recommended for establishment because ~t ~s C~ty Councd alone, under current
V~rgm~a law, that can allocate funds They cannot and should not abdicate that respons~blhty Further, th~s
process is equally binding on C~ty departments, a direct Councd oversight respons~bd~ty.
Pohcy Report REVENUE SHARING POLICY FOR CITY \ PUBLIC SCHOOL PURPOSES
February 25, 1997
This policy ~n no way infringes on the School Board's responsibility for School pohcy development, nor
does ~t restdct Board priodty setting among current programs nor ~mplementmg new m~t~at~ves Th~s pohcy
does not restrict the amount of local funding the School Board can request The Board w~ll retain
responsibility for ensuring State mandates are met w~thin their proposed program and budget
The proposed pohcy is inclusive of all General Fund support for education--operabons, pay-as-you-go
capital projects, and debt servme for School projects. Th~s ~s recommended to
Provide the School Board incentives, over time, to manage the cost of School capital projects
utd~z~ng debt service If these costs could be reduced or held constant, future shared revenues
for Schools would have a larger port,on to d~rect to operational needs
Encourage adequate attention to maintenance of the ex~st~ng extensive School ~nfrastructure so
that programming of needed renovations and system rehabd~tat~on ~s not secondary to
construction of new facd~t~es When th~s occurs, whether m the Schools or C~ty facd~t~es,
maintenance costs ~n the operating budget tend to rise Identifying to the School Board the full
amount of local resources avadable helps them to find the right balance on the "renovatmon-more
maintenance" continuum.
Give the pubhc the entire p~cture of what resources are directed to educahonal purposes ~n the
C~ty Th~s ~s consistent w~th national trends towards cost center accounhng, which captures all
costs related to the dehvery of a servme. In that each new State mandate for a smaller class
creates demand for more classroom space, captunng th~s data ~s ~mportant and can help the
School Board articulate to the State the enbre support prowded by the General Fund ~n hght of
emerging demands which may be made by new mandates
A proposed annual t~metable / cycle of how the revenue shanng policy would be ~mplemented ~s
presented at Attachment C
PUBLIC INFORMATION
Wh~le th~s proposal does not require any formal public heanng, ~t ~s anbc~pated that, ~f approved by
Councd, every effort would be made to provide a summary explanation of the pohcy to the pubhc, as well
as School and C~ty employees to ensure as full understanding as possible
ALTERNATIVE COURSES OF ACTION
There are three possible courses of action (1) Retain the current funding mechanism, (2) Adopt a
revenue shanng formula, or (3) Pursue fiscal autonomy for the Schools Th~s latter alternative depends
upon leg~slatwe action and, therefore, does not prowde an ~mmed~ate response to financial planning ~n
the Schools and C~ty The alternatives are discussed below
1. Retain Current Funding Mechanism: The current funding mechanism for Schools rehes upon ~nformal
commumcabon between School and C~ty staff However, th~s ~n no way constrains School staff ~n their
preparation of a proposed budget which ~s presented to the School Board The School Board, after
workshops on the budget and public heanngs, has often ~ncreased the proposed budget prior to
submission to the C~ty Councd, absent a full p~cture of what the real resource constraInts may be.
In that total revenue growth for the City has been steady but modest in recent years, resources have not
been available to fully fund recent School Board requests Th~s has left the C~ty Councd to determine,
based on comments from some parents, School employees, and c~t~zens what the "basra" funding needs
are for Schools Weaknesses of th~s system are that the Councd does not have the detaded knowledge
of educational ~ssues, must make decisions based on summary ~nformat~on, and lacks the legal authonty
to specifically allocate funds for those programs considered pnont~es When a funding level ~s
estabhshed, the School Board must rework the School budget to bring program allocabons ~n hne w~th
avadable resources Th~s creates an additional workload on the School Board, and does so ~n a chmate
~n which they appear to be "taking away" from some program areas and consbtuents
Pohcy Report REVENUE SHARING POLICY FOR CITY \ PUBLIC SCHOOL PURPOSES
February 25, 1997
2. Adopt a Revenue Sharing Policy: This alternative would establish a City Councd policy by which a
s~gn~ficant set of General Fund revenues of the government would be allocated to Schools and general
government functions, including debt service An expenditure bas~s for allocabon was not proposed
because ~t could not y~eld a predictable method for resource due to var~ahons over hme ~n expenditures
for Schools, and the total C~ty budget, depending on special ~n~t~at~ves and the avadabd~ty of State
funding Absent an unforeseen economic downturn (e g, Persian Gulf War) revenues grow at a relattvely
predictable rate over hme, and thus promde a real~st~c planning tool for resource allocation A revenue
shanng pohcy would prowde Schools total flex~b~hty to adjust to ~ncreases ~n State or Federal revenues,
w~thout the poss~bd~ty of local revenues being less, ~f other sources were more ~n a g~ven year
The revenue sharing pohcy would define available local resources for School operational, capital pay-as-
you-go, and debt service needs. Prehm~nary allocation would be based on annual October 1 revenue
estimates Updates would be made during budget development, based on December 31 revenue
collections The School budget staff would be ~nv~ted to be a full participant in the revenue estlmabng
process and C~ty budget staff would be available to share in present~ng the ~nformabon to the School
Board Table I shows the revenue sources to be shared

Revenues selected for ~nclusion were local taxes of the government which represent the major,
cons/stent sources of revenue growth and which are not tied d~rectly to a specific program expense
These could be expected to provide for long-term, local resource growth for School operations, capital,
and debt service Other local tax revenue sources are, for the most part, committed for specific program
support (such as admission taxes and hotels taxes for TGIF and advertising ) Some smaller sources,
such as c~garette taxes, are not considered growth revenues and were thus, excluded as not meeting
the criteria of stability and resource growth
Some local non-tax revenues available to the government (e g, permit fees, fines, sale of publications)
are not ~ncluded ~n th~s calculation because they vary, depending upon use and activities ~n the
commumty, thus hm~tmg ability to accurately predict these revenues over t~me Further, these revenues
are often bed to specd~c expenditures which produce the revenue (e g, recreahonal fees and conduct
of recreahonal classes) The Schools have the ab~hty to generate s~m~lar revenues from School
operations, and growth ~n these revenues are available to Schools, exclusive of any revenue shanng
policy If General Fund fees, fines, and other non-tax revenues were ~ncluded ~n an allocation, equity
would d~ctate that s~mdar School Operating Fund revenues be folded ~nto the calculahon Leaving these
sources to each fund allows maximum flex~bd~ty ~n balancing fee levels w~th revenue needs for the funds
and the cost of programs supported by the fees
Th~s pohcy was developed using FY 1996-97 as the base year Those data are d~splayed ~n Table I
Applying the School share of 53 13% to prehm~nary estimates of FY 1997-98 would prowde an estimated
Pohcy Report REVENUE SHARING POLICY FOR CITY \ PUBLIC SCHOOL PURPOSES
February 25, 1997
$214 9 million in local resources in FY 1997-98 for Schools operating, pay-as-you-go capital, and debt
service needs This represents an ~ncrease of nearly $12 8 m~ll~on or 6 3% over FY 1996-97 (see
Attachment B ) In choosing FY 1996-97 as the base year, we have chosen the h~ghest percentage School
share over the past five years Attachment B documents that the School share of defined local General
Fund revenues budgeted for School operations, School debt service, and School pay-as-you-go capital
~mprovements has vaned over t~me w~th FY 1996-97 being the h~ghest year
If th~s pohcy ~s adopted, the Council would direct the C~ty Manager to develop prehm~nary revenue
estimates each year to prowde an allocation for Schools ~n t~me for operating and capital budget
development The revenue share would be forwarded to the School Board and supenntendent, w~th detad
prowded for debt, pay-as-you-go capital, and operational costs, based on anticipated debt and revenue
capacity Th~s would enable the School staff and School Board to develop a budget w~th the knowledge
that, as long as the total budget d~d not exceed the local revenue share estabhshed, further changes
would not be necessary due to C~ty resource adjustments Revenue estimates would be updated ~n m~d-
February so that the School Board would have the best avadable ~nformat~on for dehberat~ons
Should the School Board determine a need for additional funding to maintain ~ts current level of
operations or to provide for additional ~n~t~atwes, ~t shall make a formal request to the Councd by ~ts
Chairman ~n writing, stating the purpose therefor and the amount of the request
Should the Council determine that additional funding cannot be made available w~thout an ~ncrease ~n
local tax rates, ~t shall formally not~fy the School Board The School Board shall then request of Council
an ~ncrease ~n local tax rates to a level necessary to generate the additional funding after the School
Board has held a pubhc heanng on the ~ssue of whether local tax rates should be increased for Schools
and for what School purposes The School Board w~ll prowde such request ~n the form of an approved
School Board Resolution. C~ty Councd shall consider such request, and at ~ts d~scret~on determine the
appropriate action, ~nclud~ng consideration of a referendum on the School budget and associated tax
~ncreases City Council does not ~ntend to consider any request from the School Board for ~ncreased local
tax rates for school purposes except pursuant to th~s policy Otherwise, ~t would be Councd pohcy to
prowde funding at the revenue shanng policy level If, after deliberation and appropriate pubhc
~nvolvement, ~nclud~ng the results of any referendum held, the Council supported a tax rate increase for
Schools, the ~ncrease would become part of the School revenue share for the fiscal year budget being
developed and for all future fiscal years An example of such an adjustment ~s included ~n Attachment
B of th~s report
In that th~s ~s, primarily, a pohcy to enhance budget development and planning, ~t ~s by nature forward
looking, and ~s based on estimated revenues for a future fiscal year To ensure the pnnc~ple of fa~mess
~n the event of actual revenue collections exceeding estimated revenues, any such excesses ~n the
designated General Fund revenues would be shared on the same percentage as was ~n effect for the
fiscal year for which the revenues were received Such allocation would occur only after debt reserve
pohcy cntena were fulfilled after the final closing of financial books for a the fiscal year Consistent w~th
financial requirements for all such year-end balances, these funds would be appropnated to Schools by
City Councd action.

DISADVANTAGES
· Makes year-to-year planmng for

· Creates a sense of compet~hon
between School and City programs
and fosters conflict rather than

· Does not provide the School Board a
vehicle for articulating a need to

· Does not link operat,ng budget & ClP
· Does not fully recognize legal limits
on Council allocation of School
funds
· Reqmres the School Board to stdl
work with Council ~n requesting tax
Increases of citizens
· Council sbu retmns respons~bd~ty for
tax increases, without detailed
appropriation authority for School
expenditures,
· Current State law does not provide
for this and such authority could take
at least 3-5 years to obtain
· In states with autonomous school
districts, compet[hon between
schools and local government
programs for tax ~ncreases is often
intense
· Depends upon citizens becoming
~nformed enough to act appropriately
on requests for increased resources
3. Pursue Fiscal Autonomy for Schools: Th~s ~s one of the ~n~t~at~ves recommended for further
consideration ~n the current V~rg~n~a Beach School Supenntendent's Proposed Strategic Plan Autonomy,
defined as ~ndependent taxing authonty, requires action on the part of the V~rg~n~a General Assembly and,
ultimately, action of statew~de voters This requirement means taxing authonty ~s at least three to five
years away. If such authonty were enacted, ~t would, ~n all I~kel~hood, m~rror the prows~ons for elected
school boards ~n ~ts local option mechanism It is uncertain whether the c~t~zens of V~rg~n~a Beach would
grant taxing authonty to another enbty besides the C~ty Council If pursuit of such autonomy ~s desired
by the Councd, inclusion of such an ~tem ~n future leg~slatwe agenda packages should be considered
Pnor to necessary legislative action for autonomy, the implementation of a revenue shanng policy could
be v~ewed as the "first step" towards fiscal autonomy It would establish a port,on of local revenues which
would be avadable to Schools for operahons, pay-as-you-go capital, and debt service, and would help
staff and constituents begin to exphc~tly ~denbfy a set of resources for School needs as separate from
resources for general government

RECOMMENDATION
The estabhshment, by Councd Resolution, of a formal revenue sharing pohcy as described above ~s
recommended.
The movement to an elected School Board ~n V~rg~nia Beach has ~ncreased the ~ndependence of that
Board Absent from th~s ~ndependence has been the abil,ty of the Board to determine ~ts own financml
future In that State Code does not prowde for total ~ndependence through taxing authority, the
estabhshment of a pohcy by whmh a set proportion of local revenues are prowded to Schools ensures
a level of ~ndependence currently not in place.
The Superintendent's Proposed Strategic Plan emphasizes ~ncreased flnanc,al respons~b~hty for the
Schools and ~ncreased accountabd~ty to the public for both the ~nputs and the outcomes of the school
system an emphas~s consistent w~th C~ty Council d~rect~on Neither the C~ty nor the Schools can make
long-term plans ~f financial resources are h~ghly unpredictable due to the press of many needs on a
hm~ted resource pool Estabhshmg a pohcy to equitably share avadable revenues among the many
program needs of our c~t~zens hfts School staff and Board members from the role of supplicant to the

General Equation for School Share of Revenue Sharing Policy'
(Sum of esbmated General Fund Revenues included in Shanng Pohcy) * 0 5313 =
(total local General Fund revenues for School purposes) - (Estimated School General Fund Debt Service

Re: Lake Joyce, Waiver of Reverter
Interest - H. Lee Chandler, 4339
Lookout Rd.
Dear Jim,
As you know, in 1967 the Norfolk Ci=¥ Council adopted an
ordinance conveying Lake Joyce along with a 25-foot wide strip of
land around the lake to the City of Virginia Beach. The deed by
which the lake was conveyed contained certain language which
required the City of Virginia Beach to use the conveyed property
exclusively for public or municipal purposes and provided that the
property should not be conveyed, sold or leased and should not be
permitted to be used for any other purpose. In the event this
condition was breached, the property would revert to Norfolk.
,
Mr. H. Lee Chandler has requested permission to encroach into
the Lake Joyce property adjacent to his proposed residence on
Parcel A, Baylake Beach, located at 4339 Lookout Road, in order to
construct a bulkhead and pier, 'along with associated bulkhead
backfill, a landscaping berm, drainage pipe, and various
landscaping plant material and vegetation. The matter of waiving
the City of Norfolk's reverter interest for this encroachment for
the bulkhead, pier, backfill, berm, drainage pipe and landscaping
materials was presented to City Council and they offered no
objections.
Therefore, the City of Norfolk would not consider the
requested encroachment by Mr. H. Lee Chandler, if authorized by the
City of Virginia Beach, to violate the conditions in Norfolk's deed
to Virginia Beach. This posit~on is taken only with respect to the
facts set forth herein as it relates to the strip of land situated
adjacent to Parcel A, Baylake Beach, 4339 Lookout Road, Virginia
Beach, Virginia, ~3455. This action does not demonstrate or control
similar instances, past, present, or future.
Sincerely,
