NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Virginia Beach that the General Assembly Delegation is requested to support legislation that would carry out the principles as outlined in the Legislative Package for the 1993 Session of the General Assembly, which is attached; 8 Resolved by the Council of the City of Virginia Beach on the day of December , 1992. CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE FOR THE 1993 GENERAL ASSEMBLY SESSION COUNCIl. PRIORITIF. S NONFUNDING ITEMS Support legislation to have those convicted of driving under the influence to be required to pay for City emergency services. Provide an additional exemption to the Freedom of Information Act to allow the Council to discuss in executive session certain contractual matters between other units of government, discussion of which in public would be detrimental to the interests of the citizens of Virginia Beach. FUNDING ISSUES e 3** The General Assembly is requested to maintain the State share of funding for the standards of quality. Furthermore, this level of funding should also extend to special education and students with special needs. The General Assembly is requested to make no change to the funding formula for transportation funding from the Commonwealth that would be detrimental to the City. Furthermore, it should be stressed that Commonwealth needs to expend its limited transportation dollars in the areas of greatest congestion so as to reduce congestion and improve air quality. The General Assembly is requested to provide funding so that the Department of Social Services and the Department of Health can rent suitable office space to relocate their staffs. CHARTER CHANGES ,* The General Assembly is requested to amend the Charter of Virginia Beach to allow elected school boards per the resolution adopted by Council of the City of Virginia Beach on the 8th day of September, 1992. The General Assembly is requested to amend the Charter of the City of Virginia beach to require that persons seeking to be elected as a borough representative to be required to live in the borough for six months prior to the election and that they be required to maintain residents in such borough after election. This is in keeping with the resolution adopted by the Council of the City of Virginia Beach on December 1, 1992. OTHER YFEMS (UNPRIORr~zvX0 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Support of a bill similar to Senator Gartlan's Senate Bill 424, which would prevent Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPP). Oppose passage of legislation that would mandate that hotel room tax be used for tourism promotion. Amend the State Code to allow for private contracts to provide for parking meter enforcement. Amend the State Code to allow refuse collection vehicles or SPSA vehicles to transit the Virginia Beach Expressway using commuter tickets. Amend the State Code to have plaintiffs in civil court cases be responsible for the cost of civil jurors. Amend the State Code to allow City volunteer rescue workers, auxiliary policeman, etc. with more than ten years of service to receive a motor vehicle decal free of charge. OTI:IF~R FUNDING ISSUES The General Assembly is requested to appropriate $5,000,0000 in funding for the Virginia Marine Science Museum expansion. The General Assembly is requested to provide 50% of the cost of the relocation of the Pendleton Child Service Center, which is a Certified Group Home. This cost is estimated to be $1,350,000 with the State's share being $675,000. The General Assembly is requested to reinstitute full funding for State aid to libraries. The General Assembly is requested to amend the State Code to allow City logo license plates to be purchased by citizens. Revenue generated from these license plates should be returned to the City based on the same formula that university logo license plates now utilize. POLICY POSITIONS 0 The General Assembly is requested to review changes to the Aid For Dependent Children Standards (AFDC). These changed policy standards are producing undesirable effects on both service availability and service delivery. The General Assembly should be mindful of any change to the regulation of daycare that may prove detrimental to the City. The City's Parks and Recreation facilities and services are used as unlicensed daycare providers. Any licensing of these facilities and services should be made in the context that produces no increased cost to the City. The General Assembly is requested to include the guarantee that mental health and substance abuse services are considered as essential health services under hospitalization policies. Attached and part of the City's Legislative Package but not prioritized by Council is the Adjunct Public Safety Package. 2e e Se e Se 0 Amendment to the Virginia Code, section 19.2-81, to authorize arrest without warrant for shoplifting not committed in the officer's presence in violation of Virginia Code 18.2-96 or 18.2-103, or substantially any similar ordinance of any county, city or town. Request an amendment to the Virginia Code, section 46.2-817, to raise eluding police to a class 6 felony. Request to amend the Virginia Code, section 18.2-57.1, to change an assault and battery against a law enforcement officer not involving a weapon of any type to a class 1 misdemeanor. An assault against any law enforcement officer involving a weapon of any type be raised to a felony with a penalty to correspond to malicious wounding. Request to amend the Virginia Code concerning carrying concealed weapons, section 18.2-308, to make a conviction under the City Code and the State Code count towards the second violation section so that it would be punishable as a class 6 felony and a third subsequent violation would be a class 5 felony. Currently, the defendant must have been convicted under the Code of Virginia rather than the City Code. Request to amend Virginia Code, section 18.2-308 A (iii), the SHURIKAN is listed as a flailing instrument when actually it should be listed under section A (iv) a throwing star. Request to allow personal vehicles of auxiliary police officers, volunteer deputies and police chaplains to be equipped with blue warning lights. Request expansion of the Virginia Code dealing with wire tap authorization. This authorization can now only be used for horse racing and pari mutuel betting. The request is that sports book making and' illegal numbers games be placed under this Code section so that telephone lines can be used as part of an investigation of ongoing gambling enterprises. Request to require certain persons convicted under sections under the Code submit to testing for the AIDS virus. The police request that anyone who is knowingly been tested positive who is convicted of a violation under certain Code sections be found guilty of class 6 felony and receive a mandatory period of incarceration of one year. Request to amend the Virginia Code, section 46.2-352 through 353, be changed to remove the words "forthwith file" to "may file". This is a complicated problem dealing with DMV records in that it may take 11 months to find the individuals. The courts have ruled that forthwith means immediately. 10. 11. 12. 13. Request to amend the Virginia Code, section 46.2-352 through 353, be changed so that it would read from the current "in the court of record having jurisdiction of criminal offenses in the county, city, or town in which the person resides" to "in any court of record of any county, city or town in the State." Because of the mobile nature of our population, people move from Norfolk to Virginia Beach, etc. but they may under current Code only be served in the court where the person resides. Request to amend the Virginia Code, section 19.2-249, to allow offenses committed on the boundary of two counties and cities, etc., to be prosecuted. Currently an offense committed on the boundary of two counties or in the boundary of a county or city or within 300 yards thereof where the alleged crime has been committed may be prosecuted in either county or city. The Code does not address the boundary between two cities and should be changed to allow prosecution as stated above.. Request to amend the Virginia Code and make it unlawful for any person to descend, jump or leap from any bridge or overpass or other like structure within the boundaries of the City of Virginia Beach. This has been recommended to be a class 4 misdemeanor. Request to amend the Virginia Code, section 15.1-131, dealing with when police may be sent beyond territorial limits and reciprocal agreements. This would amend this section of the Code and expand it to include in response to any law enforcement emergency involving any immediate threat to life or personal safety. - 15 - Item III-H.
