Oberndorf called to order the CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING relative the PUNGO TRAIL - STATUS OF ISTEA GRANT to the VIRGINIA BEACH CITY COUNCIL in the Council Conference Room, City Hall Budding, on Tuesday, May 6, 1997, at 11:00 ~4. M. Council Members Present: John A. Baum, Linwood O. Branch, III, William W. Harrison, Jr., HaroM Heischober, Barbara M. Henley, Louis R. Jones, Reba S. McClanan, Mayor Meyera E. Oberndorf, Nancy K. Parker and Louisa M. Strayhorn Council Members Absent: Vice Mayor William D. Sessoms, Jr [ENTERED: 11.15 A.M.] -2- CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING PUNGO TRAIL- STATUS OF ISTEA GRANT II:00 A.M. ITEM # 42063 Susie Walston, Director of Parks and Recreation, advised the Pungo Trail is a Parks and Recreation Capital Project (CIP 4-961) which was new in FY 1994-1995. The project was created because of the approval of an ISTEA (Intermodal Surface Transportation Enhancement Act) Grant in December 1993. The grant was applied for by City Staff and was based on the 1986 Master Bikeway Plan. One of the bikeways in the 1986 plan was along the Virginia Power Right-of-Way from Dam Neck Road to Pungo and ultimately to Munden Point Park. This trail corridor has been named the Pungo Trail A portion of the trail (approximately 2,500 linear feet) has been developed from Dam Neck Road to Winterberry Lane in the Landstown Meadows Subdivision. There has been OPPOSITION from neighborhoods along the trail primarily from Courthouse Farms and Princess Anne Crossing. Mrs. Walston recognized Marilyn Lombardy, a resident, who has written correspondence expressing these concerns. This briefing is to address those concerns. Barry Frankenfield, Planner- Department of Parks and Recreation, displayed the completed section on the map. Approximately eight Public Meetings were held with the Virginia Beach Outdoors Plan; however, the Princess Anne Crossing neighborhood did not attend. The "dash red line" depicted on the aforementioned map, is the area through the neighborhoods who oppose the trail When surveying and site testing was done, it was found some residents were not aware of the trail. Another meeting was held in December with surveys conducted. Approximately seventy (70) people attended. The reasons for opposition were safety, increased crime, property values, privacy, unauthorized access by motor vehicles and homeowner liability. The staff met with a Subcommittee of the Princess Anne Crossing and Courthouse Farms' residents. Attempts were made to devise alternates and address concerns. The "dashed blue line" on the map is the alternative presented to VDOT, which wouM completely avoid the Courthouse Farms and Princess Anne Crossing neighborhoods. The VDOT responded that if the trail was not continuous, it did not meet the intention of the grant; however, VDOT was willing to have it be continuous, just in space, and not in the paving (left open and be the extsting grass situation). The City has acquired a twenty-foot easement in the Virginia Power Right-of-Way to all#w for the development of the trail. In conjunction with the neighborhoods, VDOT and planning for other improvements, four alignments for the Pungo Trail in this area have been developed as listed below. Option # 1: Existing Virginia Power ROW through Princess Anne Crossing and Courthouse Farms. Option # 2: Existing Virginia Power ROW, NO improvements or construction through Princess Anne Crossing and Courthouse Farms. Option # 3: Phasing Improvements/No improvements through Princess Anne Crosstng and Courthouse Farms. Option # 4: Future tratl developed with Princess Anne Road along Lake Ridge Property. Based on the research, coordination with other projects, and the opposition from adjacent neighborhoods, it is recommended the Pungo Trail be realigned to Princess Anne Road in the corridor from Winterberry Lane to the Municipal Center (Option tM). This will allow for complete bicycle/pedestrian access to future amenities developed along this corridor while avoiding the conflicts with an opposition from residential neighborhoods. It is possible the grant could be applied to another trail project in Virginia Beach. City staff recommends the Princess Anne Road Alignment, as the appropriate option for this trail project. May 6, 1997 -3- AGENDA RE VIEW SESSION 11:35 A.M. ITEM # 42064 BY CONSENSUS, the following items shall compose the CONSENT AGENDA: ORDINANCES J. 1 Ordinance to ACCEPT and APPROPRIATE $ 72, 000 from the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to the FY 1996- 1997 Operating Budget of the Department of Public Works re upgrading the City's Vehicle Management System central computer as part of the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program. J. 2 Cash payments in lieu of park dedications as consistent with the February 21, 1995, City Council approved Policy for Cash Payments in Lieu of Open Space Dedications of less than one acre from: a. Culver Woods at Courthouse Sandbridge North b. Moores Pond at Cypress Point J. 3 Ordinances to authorize License Refunds in the amount of $16,077.16. J. 4 Ordinance to authorize Tax Refunds in the amount of $15,482.54. ITEM # 42065 These Ordinances shah be voted upon prior to the PUBLIC HEARINGS. May 6, 1997 -4- CITY COUNCIL CONCERNS 11:37 A.M. ITEM # 42066 Councilman Jones referenced the traffic light at Bay Lake/First Court under consideration. Representatives of the Church Point area have a petition of approximately 600 signatures regarding design changes. John Herzke, Traffic Engineer, advised the residents attended a meeting with all the area Civic League representatives on .4pril 24, 1997. Mr. Herzke spoke on Friday with Alfred ~4rthur - President, Church Point Civic League, who indicated the modification requested was to delete the new signal proposed to be installed at Bay Lake and Shore Drive. Mr Herzke explained part of the project was to close off the intersection of First Court and Shore Drive due to the accident situation at this intersection. When the traffic at this intersection is combined with traffic already existing at Bay Lake, plus with the development of the golf course, the continued development of Church Point, the Recreation Center and the Park all being serviced by that roadway, a traffic signal is needed. The Civic League wishes the improvements made without the traffic signal. Response comments will be assembled and faxed to the City Council. Mayor Oberndorf referenced the opposition of Mrs. Boyd, who expressed concern over the closing the intersection of First Court. May 6, 1997 -5- ITEM # 42067 Mayor Me)era E.

Thank you for your interest in the budget process as it relates to the funding of our school system. As you are aware, we face critical and expensive long-term needs in technology and modernization for both our City and Schools. We must look ahead to a strategy for addressing these issues while providing adequate resources to provide continued quality services. Consistent with our conversations with school staff, we anticipate that the level of funding provided to the schools wiU be adequate to maintain current instructional programs and provide for expansion ofthe gifted and magnet programs, the class size initiative, and the four-year old at- risk program. We have allocated ~nds that we feel are sufficient, however, it is up to the School Board to make these specific funding decisions. The revenue sl~aring policy that you have dismissed as insincere was developed as a framework to objectively divide all of our projected revenue growth with the school system. For next year, it provided our schools with the largest percentage increase in local funding in our history. It was adopted only after weeks of delay to permit discussions with school officials. The pOliCy attempted tO address the concerns of'school oftlcials ¢onuidcrin8 rite budgb-t time fraltl© aS contained in state law Fully funding the school budget request of $42:2 million could not have been accomplished shorl of providing schools with ALL growth in revenues AND cutting City services. The only othcr alternative was a tax increase 427-416S 85128/9? 12:59 To:RUTH SMITH UR BCH CITY MGR From:Barbara A.

Since only City Council has taxing authority, we must be responsible as well as responsive to the citizens. Every year, Council re, embers scrutinize all of the budget requests received from the City and thc Schools We did not feel that answers to our questions about the school budget justified cutting City services or raising taxes. Your argument that we can find an additional $5 million for school operating expenses from our fund balance is not based on factual information. You refer to a cash reserve of almost $103 million when, in fact, our undesignated fund balance is actually about $57 million. We maintain our fund balance at thc equivalent of at least 75% of our annual debt service requirement to protect our AA bond rating This keeps down the cost of borrowing for projects like roads and schools and cushions the community against a catastrophic incident I agree it would be irresponsible to attempt a budget adjustment by inflating revenue projections We suggested an increase in the projected F~leral Impact Aid estimate by $250,000 to a level substantially below the level already received this fiscal year. Comparing that with what went on during Fiscal Year 1995 is either intentionally misleading or misinformed! We share your concern that the real needs of the community, not politics, should be the number one priority during this important process. We hope that the School Board and City Council will work cooperatively toward a common, realistic vision for our community, as that is our best hope for addressing thc major needs that loom befor~ us. Sincerely, lVieyera E Oberndorf Mayor ]~O~O~F/jn~ Members of City Council Mr. James K. Spore Mcmbers of School Board 427-4163 0512019? 12:59 VA BCH To:RUTH SMITH From:Barbara A. Morrsson CITY MGR May 427-41E3 Page 4/5 20,97 11:~$ NO.O12 P.05 Tuesday, May 6, 1997 Mayor Ob~rndorf and Members of City Council, No single attribute has been more in.,~rumental to the success and quality of life of this community than its public school system. I know this personally as a parcnt whose successful children are graduates of Vir$inln Beach City Public Schools. I know it professionally as well. As a man who has been involved in real estate and land development in Virginia Beach, I can attest to the simple truth: This city owes its phenomenal economic development over the past 20 years to its public school system. I challenge each and everyone of you to start taking a poll among members of this community. Ask them why they live here and I bet an overwhelming majority ~11 reference the schools. ' Have you forgotten the economic development engine that has brought you to the point that you cna consider a soccer stadium and a professional golf course? More importantly, have you forgotten thc children whose future success depends largely on this excellent school system? It appears to me and to many others that you have. Recently I beard a s~nker at a School Board meeting note that the debate between Council and the School Board was not about education or children, but about power. Inside myself I shouted, "Amen.' The arrogance that has been exhibited by this City Council and city administration during these budget negotiations is nothing short of frightening. I*11 share a few examples in a few minutes. Quite frankly, I address this part of my remarks to the audience here today, to whatever media is here and to those who watch these meetings on television, because our only hope lies with you. The only way we can change the tragedy of under-funding our schools is if this citizenry rises up and demands it. · Consider these sad facts: 1. Our school system has been held hostage by a revenue-sharing policy volleyed over by thc city administration and rnmrodded through by City Council in spite of the expressed concerns of the School Board and school administration. If the city was sincere about developing a policy that was in the best interests of both entities then why was this imperator document not developed collaboratively? I f'md this strangely reminiscent of Norfolk's experience, when Virginia Beach signed a contract with North Carolina that adversely affected that city's water sales area and didn't even bother to invite them to the bargaining table. Do we see a ~ of arrogance here? Shouldn't stakcholdcrs be allowed to come to thc table? 2. The city has consistently tried to point to the school system as the reason behind tax increases. Yet, even in the year of the deficit when a tax increase was levied and thc schools cited as the reason, this city ended the year with a $21 million surplus. 427-4165 BS/2B/97 12:5B To:RUTH SMITH From:Barbara A. Morrsson 427-4163 Page 5/5 Vf4 BCH CITY MGR Mag 20,97 11:49 No.012 P.04 Tuesday, May 6, 1997 l~. Thc city has asked thc school system to adjust its budget by inflating its revenue estimates; by using most of its reversions in a stop-gap way for tho opcrating budget and capital projects; and by dramatically adjusting its appropriation for staffing positions. This is exactly the kind of thinking that put the school system into a deficit position in FY 95. How can a city that faced such a tragedy employ practices that will put its school system at risk again? Can this, too, be chalked up to the arrogance of power? Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on tlS. 4. Why is it that a city that has a cash reserve of almost $103 million cannot deign to find $$.$ million for its schools? The answer? It bee to bc arrogance. So I close by entreating, not City Council, but thc good people of this community. This City Council needs to fully fund our school system's budget request which has already been reduced by $7 million. We can no longer tolerate the fact that our school system, the second largest in thc state, ranks 71~ out of 133 localities in per pupil expenditures. Let City Council hear your voice. Virginia Beach's future most certainly depends on it. Submitted by: Michael Katsias 1720 Cooper Road Virginia Beach, Va. 23454 Phone: 490-358~ -- office - 15- Item V-J.
