Mr. Stackhouse cited Factors Influencing Our Efforts: Adjusting to Impacts of Technology Balancing short-term issues with long-term planning Motivation for Career Development Future Workforce Changes Some predicted skill shortages Retirement Projections Retirement Projections 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 Totals I Eligible Employees based on VRS 433:! 121 166 148 167 1035 Data 3 Employees Age 55 with 5 or more 269:! 80 104 120 114 687 years service but less than 30 years 4Employees Age 50 with 5 or more 61:! 12 14 32 43 162 years service but less than 25 years I Full Retirement: Age 50 and 30 years for General Employees - Age 50 and 25 years for public Safety Employees :!

WFPD will ensure the City has: the right people, with the right skills, in the right place at the right time. Top 10 Reasons for Workforce Planing 1. Continuously scans the environment to identifY trends 2. Identifies leading industry practices 3. Allows you to fully access your current workforce 4. Determines future workforce needs 5. Identifies and addresses knowledge gaps 6. Provides a recruitment and selection strategy for each position - fits into the overall strategic plan 7. Anticipates change rather than being surprised by events 8. Assists in forecasting future budgetary needs 9. Develops employees to meet future service demand 10. Provides a comprehensive departmental plan - aligns workforce needs and operational needs WFPD COMMITTEE'S MODEL 20-member committee from throughout the City. (created approximately 2 years ago) Model developed based on various models around the country and our own unique organizational culture.

Mr. Stackhouse extended appreciation to Gwen Cowart, Director of COMIT and her staff. Communications and Information Technology (COM IT) partnered with Human Resources to develop the system. During the first phase, this WorkPAD received a national award. This system is currently tied into the BeachNet and is the engine that facilitates data collection, retrieval and analysis. WorkPAD provides data on projected retirements: job titles and descriptions, knowledge, skills and competencies, demographics and gaps in worliforce knowledge, skills and competencies. The Virginia Retirement System in Richmond has been linked to the WorkPAD and information can be provided on a periodic basis. WordPAD Components Personnel data Competency cluster Reports Employee Assessments Job Descriptions Mr. Stackhouse advised Human Resources is partnering with Tidewater Community College. Approximately twenty (20) of his staff will be trained on effective, coaching and counseling. Pilot efforts entail the Fire Department, Museums and Human Resources. Human Resources will have completed their Strategic and Worliforce Plan by June. The staffwill be aware of the gaps and skills shortages. Other departments are now being engaged to work with this department. Proper Training and WFPD Implementation Department Strategic Plan Worliforce Planning Team Worliforce Plan Adequate Resource Alignment Sustained Commitment Means: Alignment of the City's Human Resources with operational programmatic goals Develop long-term strategies for getting and keeping the right people to achieve the City's Mission and Goals The City must be constantly vigilant in moving Four Keys to Successful WFPD: Future Focus Common Language Workable Method Organizational Commitment January 13, 2004 - 5 - C I T Y MANA G E R 'S B R I E FIN G WORKFORCE PLANNING and DEVELOPMENT ITEM # 52086 (Continued) Mr. Stackhouse quoted Jim Collins - "Good to Great". "People are not your most important asset!" "The right people are? " Mr. Stackhouse advised his colleagues have called and advised they are hiring our personnel from our City. Councilman Diezel believes this is a plus and indicated the City was doing an excellent job. Mr. Stackhouse advised a committee has been working on knowledge management to capture the knowledge of certain key personnel. Timing will be critical as with retirement the City will/oose this component. The City needs to chronicle this employee and formulate his assets into competencies, knowledge, skills and abilities to replicate with the new employee. Mr. Stackhouse advised job rotation is encouraged. Once the skill of the individual is assessed, this will enrich the organization and provide a better support base. The Worliforce Planning and Development will be an ongoing effort by the various departments. Approximately $250,000, was expended relative WordPAD, principally involving additional support staff to assist Communication and Information Technology. Other costs, the realignment of personnel, to perform the work, would be in-house. Council Lady McClanan requested information relative the members of the Committee, the number ofhours expended on meetings as well as information relative productivity of the meetings. Mr. Stackhouse advised the twenty (20) member committee has completed its mission. The development of a successful exit process is also beingformulated. The questionnaire will be centralized. Mr. Stackhouse will provide the exact number of retirees in 2003. Mr. Stackhouse advised the Mayor, the Plan must fully justify the numbers of employees required. If technology can do the work, perhaps expansion in many areas might not be necessary. January 13, 2004 - 6- C I T Y MANA G E R 'S B R I E FIN G BUDGET WORKSHOP PROCESS - CHANGES 2:00 P.M.

NEW BUSINESS BY CONSENSUS, CITY CLERK TO RECORD: - 38- ITEM # 52117 ABSTRACT OF CIVIL CASES RESOL VED - December 2003 January 13,2004 CIVIL LAWSUITS RESOLVED DURING THE MONTH OF DECEMBER 2003 Virginia Beach Circuit Court Bruce B. Mills v. City of Virginia Beach - Inverse condemnation. The suit, which was filed in January 2003 and alleges the "inverse condemnation" of four contiguous platted lots seaward of the primary dune at Chesapeake Beach, was tried Monday, December 1, 2003. In the suit the landowner, Mills, contends the refusal to allow development of the lots in accordance with the City's Coastal Primary Sand Dune Ordinance is a "regulatory taking" by the City, entitling him to compensation for the property. Mills paid $1460 for the four lots in 1975, and now claims they are worth $450,000. After Mills presented his evidence, the court granted our motion to strike the evidence and dismissed the case. The court specifically concluded that Mills had not shown that there was a "taking" of the property. City of Virginia Beach v. BGJ, LLC Challenge to municipal authority. In September 2002 BOJ, LLC, the owner of 2.8 acres originally platted in 1977 as a "recreation area" in The Lakes subdivision, posted the property with "No Trespassing" signs. When the subdivision was created, the property was reserved for open space/recreational purposes as required by the City's Subdivision Ordinance. BOJ, LLC acquired the property following a sale by the Commonwealth after the homeowner's association dissolved. Residents of the neighborhood, who have for many years, used this property for recreation, reported the posting of the property to the City. In response, we filed suit in October 2002 to enforce the City Code and enjoin BOJ from restricting or limiting access to the property for recreational use. The court granted our motion for a preliminary injunction in October 2002, and ordered the owner to make the property available for recreational use by the residents pending trial on the merits of a permanent injunction. On December 16, 2003, after a day of evidence, the court granted the City a permanent injunction, and ordered that the property only be used as recreational open space. Also, the owner's counterclaim against the City for trespass was dismissed. Virginia Beach General District Court Rebecca Misenas v. Detective Kriegger - Negligence. In October 2003, a Warrant in Debt was filed for $6,000 for clothing claimed to have been left in a stolen car and not returned after the car was recovered. The clothes, in four garbage bags, were donated to charity before any claim was made. At trial on December 10, 2003, the court dismissed the suit. - 39- Item V-No ADJOURNMENT ITEM # 52118 Mayor Meyera E. Oberndorf DECLARED the City Council Meeting ADJOURNED at 6:16 P.M..
