in the Legislative Package for the 1993 Session of the General
Assembly, which is attached;

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

This property should be' exempt from real and personal property
taxation because it is owned and used full-time by a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit corporation serving the needs of persons with dis-
abilities through employment, training, and education. Sugar
Plum promotes integration of mentally and physically disabled
persons into society by helping them become independent and
working, contributing members of our communities.
Currently, there are three programs in operation at Sugar Plum.
Eight to twelve persons with disabilities are continuously
employed in the In-House Program and are responsible for the
production needs of the Bakery and Cafe. A separate Community
Placement Program places other persons with disabilities in
competitive jobs outside the bakery. The Work-Ability Program
identifies tasks and skill level training for persons with pro-
found disabilities and for which they receive commensurate pay.
Future plans include a program working with traumatically
brain injured persons and expanding the Sugar Plum mission
to other localities.

A RESOLUTION INVITING PARTIES
INTERESTED IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A
RACETRACK FOR HORSE RACING IN THE
CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH TO CONTACT
THE CITY MANAGER
WHEREAS, a referendum was held at the November 3, 1992,
general election on the question of whether pari-mutuel wagering
should be permitted at a racetrack in the City of Virginia Beach;
WHEREAS, at the general election, voters of the City
overwhelmingly voted in favor of permitting pari-mutuel wagering at
a racetrack in the City;
WHEREAS, such a racetrack would be a showcase for
Virginia and locally-bred horses and would provide an important new
revenue source for Virginia and local horse farms and other
agricultural-related businesses;
WHEREAS, a strong local horse industry would help to
increase rural land values;
WHEREAS, the establishment of a racetrack in the City
would provide a significant contribution to the City's economic
base through increased development generated by the racetrack
itself and "spin-off" industries, increased employment
opportunities for local citizens, and the revenues associated
therewith; and
WHEREAS, City Council finds that the establishment of a
racetrack in the City would greatly enhance tourism and would
result in a significant increase, both directly and indirectly, in
tax revenues.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA:
That City Council hereby invites parties interested in
establishing a racetrack for horse racing in the City of Virginia
Beach to contact the City Manager to begin discussions that could

be mutually beneficial to both the interested parties and the
citizens of Virginia Beach.

WHEREAS, current City policy limits the types of programs
which are permitted to use payroll deductions to those programs
which are mandated by law, such as state and federal withholding
taxes, and those which are City-sponsored or supported and are
available to all City employees, such as the City's health care
plans, flexible benefits plan, deferred compensation plan and the
savings bond program;
WHEREAS, in the past eighteen months, the former City
Manager and the present City Manager have been requested by the
Fraternal Order of Police and the Virginia Beach Policemen's
Benevolent Association, respectively, to authorize payroll
deductions of their members' dues;
WHEREAS, the Fraternal Order of Police and the Virginia
Beach Policemen's Benevolent Association are voluntary employee
organizations that are not sponsored or supported by the city or
available to all City employees;
WHEREAS, State law provides that municipalities have the
right to exercise broad discretion in deciding which requests for
payroll deductions, if any, they will honor; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the City's
policy of allowing payroll deductions only for those programs which
are mandated by law, or are sponsored or supported by the City and
are available and beneficial to all City employees, regardless of
their membership in a particular organization, is fair and
appropriate.
