CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
1:30 P.M.
ITEM # 54466
Councilman Wood inquired relative status reports concerning the Emergency Response System (ERS).
Charles W Meyer, Chief Operating Officer, advised reviewing the DRAFT report which will be distributed
to City Council.
ITEM # 54467
Council Lady Wilson referenced discussion re a Referendum on Open Space and Transportation during
the August 26 and 27, 2005, City Council Retreat, Council Lady Wilson understood information was
intended to be brought forward concerning a Referendum. Council Lady Wilson would like to be aware of
the citizens' desires.
Councilman Villanueva inquired re the last City Council Retreat, when E. Dean Block, Director of Public
Works, and Robert J. Scott, Director of Planning, were requested to prioritize the roads.
The City Manager noted a Referendum was discussed in great detail and he understood the general
consensus was to consider an equivalent to 1 ~ for open space, If2~ cent for trails, If2~ for acquisition plus
perhaps up to 5 ~ for roadways from the real estate tax,. (perhaps not lowering the rate as much, rather than
going through the process of a Referendum),
Councilman Reeve requested City Council's desire concerning the proper planning. The City Council
believed there was not adequate time to place a Referendum on the November Ballot but a May Ballot might
be considered. In all surveys, the City's roads have appeared to be the most negative aspect. During a Bike
and Trailways Committee meeting, the portion of Nimmo Parkway V (from General Booth to the Municipal
Center) was to be competed (as originally proposed) in 2006-2007; however, the date is now listed as 2010.
The Nimmo section is also tied into two (2) other main projects: Princess Anne Road widening to Dam Neck
and Holland Road (4 lane divided). Princess Anne Road a main east-west thoroughfare for Chesapeake has
had no changes, as Nimmo was suppose to be completed. Councilman Reeve advised there are road projects
in the City which are in dire need and inquired relative a method to internally fund Nimmo Parkway V
internally, capturing more of the State funds by allowing the City to manage the project. Referendum is one
method to gage the public's sentiment and another method would be a series of Town Hall meetings.
Council Lady McC/anan advised the City of Williamsburg has a November Referendum re open space, One
of the reasons is the City's recreational programs have been supported as the major recreation centers have
been approved on Referendum. The roads are of particular importance.
Vice Mayor Jones requested a proposed Referendum be developed re the roads to be included and the
amount of funds which would be necessary to dedicate from the personal property tax rate for the debt
service.
Council Lady Wilson advised once this information is received, the City Council can decide to go forward
with a Referendum or utilize the tax levy on real estate,

Mayor Oberndorf advised the last major Road Referendum was in November 1986, encompassing $100-
MILLION of road projects, The City of Virginia Beach had more road projects under construction than
the entire state of Virginia.
Mayor Oberndorf advised information relative the funding and prioritization of road projects shall be
provided. Separate discussions will be conducted relative a Referendum in Mayor utilizing the tax levy on
real estate to fund these projects.
ITEM # 54468
Vice Mayor Jones advised usually City Council meets only on the first and second Tuesdays of December.

CITY CO UNCIL COMMENTS
ITEM # 54470
Mayor Oberndorf referenced her excitement that the City has been named one of the First Place Cities for
Children, to live and grow up.
In 1997, Mayor Oberndorf led a delegation of city workers, youth and citizens to Philadelphia to kick off
America's Promise. Closer to home, the Mayor ensured youth have a voice in the Community, through the
Mayor's Youth Council.
General Colin L. Powell lead the national youth ejji)rt in developing the vision, ideals from America's
Promise: "All our Children are Well n. America's Promise addresses five (5) fundamental resource areas
that all youth need to insure they have a foundation on which to grow. The areas are:
A caring adult, mentor or coach
A safe place to grow and learn
A healthy start for a healthy future
Effective education for marketable skills
An opportunity to give back through community service
With the support of Dr, William T Greer, Jr" President, the first campus to open its arms and facilities to
the City and the children for the scheduling of a massive meeting was Virginia Wesleyan College. Another
meeting was conducted at the Chesapeake Convention Center. One of the priorities of the children was
transportation.
City Council on November 28,2000, ADOPTED:
Resolution re the VIRGINIA BEACH YOUTH PLAN as a community guide for
addressing the needs of youth and their families.

ITEM # 54471
Mayor Oberndorf distributed a Resolution to be ADDED to the Agenda:
Resolution re Role of "Citizen BRAC Committee" with a sunset
clause to January 11,2006.
ITEM # 54472
J.1. Ordinance to REVISE 92-166.1 of the City Code re the
City's Operating Budget Preparation Process to address
real estate revenue.
On March 22,2005, City Council adopted an Ordinance that added Section 2-186.1 to the City Code and
established a process for the preparation of the City's operating budget, This process involves preparing
a base budget funded in part by estimated real estate tax revenue limited to no more than the previous year's
amount. However, this Code section does not specifically address real estate revenue resulting from land
growth due to rezonings over subdividing property and new construction ("New Development "). Since new
development often results in the needfor additional city services, such as waste management and emergency
response services, it is appropriate to include any revenue resultingfrom new development as a part of the
base budget, Excluding new development revenue ji-om the base budget would limit the City's ability to
provide basic services, as the same level of services would be stretched over a larger area.
Council Lady McClanan will vote NAY on this item,
Councilman Schmidt advised this Ordinance generates additional revenue not from existing homes butJrom
the new homes built. With the revenue sharingformula, the schools receive more funds.
ITEM # 54473
J. 3 Ordinance to TRANSFER $2,000,000 from the FY 2005-
06 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to the FY 2005-06

$1,451,449
$ 57,241
$ 152,460
$ 238,491
$ 100,359
Vice Mayor Jones expressed concern as the major portion of the funds are from the Ocean Lakes High
School.
Catheryn Whitesell, Director - Management Services, advised the Virginia Beach School Board wishes to
increase their health insurance subsidy to $4,430. Schools cannot utilize Reversionfunds under the Fund
Balance Policy, so Schools are temporarily decreasing the funds in the Ocean Lake High project. On
November First, these funds will be replaced with Reversion Funding. Therefore, the project itself is not
being impacted.

ITEM # 54474
J.4, Ordinance to AUTHORIZE execution of a Memorandum
of Understanding (MOU) with the Patriotic Festival, LLC
for activities to be held Memorial Day 2006, including a
$400,000 City grant.
Councilman Maddox expressed concern re the promoter receiving twenty percent (20%) of all sponsor
revenue raised. This appears excessive,
James Ricketts, Director - Convention and Visitors Bureau advised the management fee was decreased for
all three (3) organizations. The twenty percent (20%) is a lower rate than paidfor raising sponsorship funds
and was meant to be an incentive to raise more funds. The Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce and
Whisper Concerts only receive twenty percent (20%) of any funds incrementally raised over the amount these
entities raised last year. Therefore, only new sponsorships are encompassed within this amount. The usa
of Hampton Roads, Inc. management fee was reduced from $35,000 to $25,000 and therefore, the usa
receives 20% of all sponsorships fees. Mr, Rickets denoted the changes in management fees:
2005
2006
Whisper Concerts
$67,500
$50,000
Hampton Roads
Chamber of Commerce
$15,000
$10,000
USO of Hampton Roads
$35,000
$25,000
Ira Agricola, Executive Director - Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce, advised Whisper Concerts and
Clear Channel will be the entertainment agencies for the Patriotic Festival. Mr. Ricketts advised the head
liner act has been booked at the Amphitheater, This provides a "rain date" and reduces the logistical
expenses. There is a "rain date" at the Amphitheater for all three days. Beach Events is also assisting re
logistics, Clear Channel will be paid for utilizing the Amphitheater and staffing.
Council Members McClanan and Schmidt will vote NAY on this item.
Mayor Oberndorf advised military families have expressed great appreciation for this recognition.

Medical assistance and the Mayor is thrilled these dedicated women and men have been recognized for their
professionalism and for the role they play in saving the lives and property of citizens every day.

Dear Mayors Obemdorf and Edge:
Thank you for taking time to meet on Friday, May 20 for a serious discussion about two
important projects for Hampton Roads; Dominion Boulevard and the Southeast Parkway and
Greenbelt Our meeting was especially timely given the work that the HRPDC is doing this
week with respect to the update of the fIScally constrained long range plan.
We will present the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Southeast Parkway and
Greenbelt to the Federal Highway Administration for approval in the next few days. Then,
depending on your action regarding this letter~ we will hold public hearings in July. Because of
the considerable investment of taxpayer money in the Southeast Parkway and Greenbelt since the
late 1980s, and because previous agreements between the two cities have unraveled for whatever
reason at the last minute, it is critical that both cities reaffirm their commitment to both proj ects
. in clear and straightforward tenns. In that regard, I have captured the thoughts we placed on the
table during our meeting, and I have considered the wording discussed with your respective
staffs after the meeting.

Regarding the construction of Dominion Boulevard and the Sour:heast Parkway and
Greenbelt, We are committed to:
1. A system of tolHng or other finanCing mechanisms that achieves the recovery of funding
necessary to construct the physical improvements associated with Dominion Boulevard
(Route 17 South) and the Southeast Parkway and Greenbelt (including the expanded Oak
Grove Connector) from traffic utilizing the new, improved, or expanded roadways; and

2. A single and exclusive toll revenue and financing study encompassing the limits of both
Dominion Boulevard and the Southeast Parkway and GreenbeI~ treating the projects as a
single project for the purpose of financing; and
3. The amendment adopted and approved in the minutes of the August 20, 2003 MPO
meeting stating that, ~~If SP&G does not go forward, the $520 million in NHSIRSTP
funds, including the $100 million for the Dominion Boulevard Bridge, will go back into
the regional (MPO) pot for reallocation.>>
Let me be clear. My hope is to see both of these important projects move forward. However, let
me be equally clear about the alternative. If you cannot support the terms listed above, simply
say so and we will call a halt to both projects. Absent an unequivocal agreement regarding the
three items listed above, we will not schedule public hearings for the Southeast Parkway and
Greenbelt, and r will recommend to the CTB that aU unexpended funds currently allocated to the
Dominion Boulevard project be withdrawn in the FY06-FYll Six-Year Improvement Program..
Further~ if the Southeast Parkway and Greenbelt does not go forward for any reason, we will not
support or encourage any efforts whatsoever for the separate advancement or funding of the
Dominion Boulevard project.
The angst surrounding these projects has gone on for too long. We are in a position to change
that.

Mr. Philip A. Shucet, Commissioner
Virginia Department of TranspOJ1ation
1401 East Broad Street
Richmond, Virginia 23219-2000
Dear Commissioner Shucet,
I am writing pursuant to our meeting on May 20th, your letter of May 2yd and
subsequent conversations with City staff regarding Dominion Boulevard and the
Southeastern Parkway and Greenbelt (SP&G) projects. City Council, during its
meeting of May 24, 2005, authorized me by motion to reaffirm the City of
Chesapeake's commitment as a regional partner with the City of Virginia Beach
and the Virginia Department of Transportation as it relates to these projects.
Regarding the construction, funding and financing of both projects we are
committed to:
1. A system of tolling or other financing mechanisms that achieves the recovery
of funding necessary to construct the physical improvements associated with
Dominion Boulevard (Rt. ] 7 South) and SP&G from traffic utilizing the new,
improved, or expanded road\vays (clarifying that tolls associated with the Oak
Grove Connector would apply only to traffic accessing the Oak Grove
Connector to or from the SP&G); and
2. A single and exclusive revenue and financing study encompassing the limits of
both Dominion Boulevard and the SP&G treating the projects as a single
project for the purpose of financing; and
3. The amendment adopted and approved in the minutes of the August 20, 2003,
MPO meeting stating that, "if SP&G does not go fonvard, the $520 million in
NHS/RSTP funds. including the $100 million for the Dominion Boulevard
Bridge \vi)) go back into 1he regional "MPO" pot for re-allocation;" and

4. The City Attorney shall prepare and provide for the execution of an
amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOD) by and between the
Cities of Chesapeake and Virginia Beach to reflect these terms.
During the meeting with City Staff on May 25th, it was agreed that the limits of the
Dominion Boulevard Project would entail, as per .the minutes of the August 20,
2003, MPO meeting, "Logical extension of SP&G is through the Oak Grove
Connector and its interchange with 1-64/464 west along the former Route 104 to
the new Route 17."
Additionally, the language identified in the referenced minutes, as well as your
May 23, 2005 letter, state that if the SP&G does not go forward for any reason,
Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will not support the separate
advancement or funding of the Dominion Boulevard project. Similarly, it was
agreed that the intent of this statement is to ensure that the respec,ive City
Councils are committed to both projects. It is understood that should either project
not go forward as the result of permitting or other factors beyond the control of the
Cities, the remaining project will continue to be supported by VDOT and will be
advanced as a stand-alone transportation improvement. .
This most recent action reinforces City Council's resolution of October 9, 2001
which clearly delineated its support of the Southeastern Parkway project
advancing through the National Environmental Policy Act permitting process.
Both Cities executed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a written basis
of understanding as a framework for deliberations. Since then we have been
meeting' with the leaders of the City of Virginia Beach regularly to address issues
as they arise and have resolved such matters amicably. Prior to taking office as
Mayor, ] met with Mayor Oberndorf and assured her of my support. I fully intend
to continue to work closely with you and our neighboring cities for the betterment
of our localities.
As you are well aware, we have a history of\vorking effectively with VDOT in the
past in solving some of the region's longstanding highway deficiencies, including
US R T 17 South and R T 1 68/Chesapeake Expressway. Recognizing that tolls will
not cover the total infrastructure costs of these projects, we look forward to
working with VDOT and Virginia Beach on a funding/financing study for both
projects under your leadership and guidance.

8,000 square feet, the smallest being 7,500 and the largest 8,500. The lots have a nominal front footage
of approximately eighty-six (86) square feet each and are about ninety (90) feet deep. Mr. Leahy advised
tests have been conducted and there is a far more than adequate water supply in that vicinity,
Approximately two dozen (24) homes on the Virginia Beach side utilize an 8" water line. For sizing
purposes, approximately "1 gallon per minute" per home is the average peak demand.. Sewer collection
systems are sized for less than "1 gallon per minute", The Sentara Nursing Home's water is supplied by
Norfolk. Virginia Beach provides water to the Glad Tidings Church.
