I am a citizen of Virginia Beach, Virginia and I have reviewed the proposed plans to develop a four-
star hotel, public park and public parking facility at 31st Street in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
The City needs more oceanfront parking and public parks for its residents. The concept which has
been proposed, creating a public park and parking garage which would be paid for by revenues from a
hotel, as opposed to my taxes, is a great idea and I applaud you for taking this action.
I offer my support and encourage you to approve the development of the 31st Street Gateway Park

Honorable Vice Mayor and
Members of City Council
Dear V~ce Mayor and Members of Council'
On June 27 the Virginian Pilot ran the enclosed editorial titled, "Mayor Oberndorf
Where's the leadership? A regional effort more easily finds critics than leaders." It is my
understanding that Csty Council, as a body, desires to respond to this editorial.
By copy of this lax, I am sending you the proposed response to be sent to the
newspaper. In addition, I am sending the June 27 editorial. This response has been
reviewed by the Mayor, City Manager and Council Member Reba McClanan. If you
want to have your name attached to this response, please sign it and fax it back to me
by noon on Friday, July :2. Our goal is to have the response to the newspaper by
Friday. Our fax numbers are 426-5665 and 427-4163;
Your assistance is appreciated. If you have any questions please do not hesitate
to contact me.
Sincerely,
Pamela M. Lingle

Where's the leadership?
A regio al effort more eaailyfind oitics than lead. s.
If Hampton Roads is to muster the
regional leadership it needs, elected
officials are going to have to leave
behind old habits, outgrow petty
gimdges and political paranoia, and learn
to work maturely together. .
_ That's why it was depressing to hear
.V'uginia Beach Mayor Meyers E. Obern-
doris recent commants upon release of
the Hampton Roads Partnership's strate-
gic plan, which aims to make the region
a better place to live and work.
' "I wo.uld have hoped we would .have
accomplished something substantive,"
the mayor said of the plan's recommen-
dations for improving tourism.
There isn't much, it must be said, new
lr inspiring i~. the strategy's tourism sec-
or, But wi?at is stopping Oberndor~
from improving it, or-fi'om taking the
1.earl to accomplish something ';substan-
tire"? She's hai-dly been denic;d input.
Oberndorf in fact is co-chair of the
a~aership's tourism committee. Vi_rgin-
oh's tourism director, James Rick-
efts, helped prepare this portion of the
plan. City Manager James Spore report-
edly distributedit among his staff with-
out apparent revulsion.
-The mayor worries aloud that the
rtnership's vision Is to take tourists
m the Beach and W'dliamsburg and
attract them to Norfolk. The document
does recommend a continuing effort to
land a major leagtm baseball or basket-
ball team .- into which Beach officials
evidently read a plot by Norfolk or the
P~nlnsula to build a stadium, with V'u'-
ginla Beach helping to pay for it.
But the partnership also e. ndorses,
and would fund an economic-impact
study for, a major expansion of the lrw-
glnla Marine Science Museum at the
Reach, Including. an aqu.arium bigger
than those of Baltimore and Boston. Too,
the plan proposes a feasibility study for a_
regio, nal convention c~nter, an issue of
specml Interest at the Beach.
More generally, the partnerslfip's calls
for improved signage and ma~'keting, and
its proposed pursuit of a major destina-
tion attraction or tourism "icon," aim to
swell thc flow of visitors through, out the
region. A big slice of a bigger pie surely
would end up at the Oceanfront.
. Ultimately, what's most disappointing
about Ob rndores comments has less to
do with the particulars of tou~sm than
with the state of leadership in Hampton
Roads. The n~yor was quick to criticize
talk of tax increases to pay for public
Improvements. But as JOhn Wynne, the
par~. ershlp's c0-chair (and CEO of Land-
mark Communications, which owns this
newspaper) pointed out, the governor
and Iegislature are unlikely to lead any
efforts to raise revenues.
Hampton Roads must look to Its own
elected officials ---- and h.o. pe they aren't
too busy pandering to anti-tax sentiment
-- to inform and persuade the public on
both the need for infl-astructum invest-
ments and the consequences of avoiding
such investments. Mayor Oberndorf is in
an excellent position to help provide this
sort of loadarshlp, if sha wants to.

Editorials Editor
Virginian Pilot
150 W Brambleton Avenue
Norfolk, Virginia 23510
In response to the June 27 editorial btled "Mayor Oberndorf, Where is the
leadersl31p? A regmnal effort more easily finds critics than leaders," we, the members of
the Virginia Beach City Council, wlsl3 to offer strong object~ons to the premises of the
editorial and to correct some mis-characterizations. The eOItorlal was written
concerning Mayor Oberndorf's comments in regards to the release of the Hampton
Roads Partnership strategic plan.
The Virginia Beach City Council has continually supported offorto to market the
region, from both tourism and economic development perspectives. We have initiated
efforts to partner with the Commonwealth, private interests such as Busch Gardens,
and other communities and non-profit organizations to collaboratively develop and
market creative regional tourism concepts and packages. These efforts have produced
real results, not just talk of cooperation.
Tho Mayor, as co-chair of the Tourism Committee of the Hampton Roads
Partnership, expressed concern and frustration that the committee was not able to
agree on a more substantial vision for the region's many strategic tounsm advantages.
As a region, we have a pattern of unilaterally developing several small competing
facilities, such ae conference and convention centers, rather than cooperatively
creating larger, higher-quality facilities that can truly make a difference in attracting
tourism and convention business to our great region Many people have expressed
these frustrations, but have not been attacked editorially for their views.
VR BEH PUBLI~ INFO TEL: 757-427-zl165 Jul 1,99 IO:IS No.O19 P.O$
In addition, the Mayor was simply doing what was expected of her by our citizens
and the Members of City Council Her job, as Mayor, is to work towards assisting the
region in developing the best possible tourism venues for us to sell as a region But she
is also expected to protect Virginia Beach's tourism investment. Virginia Beach spends
millions of dollars each year in advertising and in improving our tourism and convention
product. Our public expects a return on this investment, maintaining and increasing our
tourist base. The collective goal of the region should be to increase the tourism base
for all Hampton Roads cities, not to simply move the tourism base from one city to
another. We need to work wltl~ griper cities, but not work against ourselves in the
process. Our Mayor was simply expressing the views of those she was elected to lead.
This editorial sets e bad precedent. Too often, anyone who wants to discuss a
plan or question policy is portrayed as 'anti-regional." When we, as elected officials
appointed to regional boards, agree to serve we do so as representatives of our
community and as regional leaders It does not serve anyone well if there is zero
tolerance for having open discussion and debate on the issues that are of vital
importance to our ~esidents. Virginia Beach should be commended for having an open
agenda and for our willingness to discuss this at an open regional board meeting. If we
have concerns, this is the time to discuss them. That, in our estimation, is the purpose
of these meetings
We hope, In the future, the agenda for the region will be to undertake those
activities that are in the collective good of all Hampton Roads while being sensitive to
the legitimate needs of the communities, and that this agenda will foster healthy public
debate on the important matters affecting the public.
The Hampton Roads Partnership strategic plan for tourism represents an
important beginning that hopefully will evolve over the ensuing years to benefit the
entire region.
