CITY MANA GER'S BRIEFING
EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES
1:30 P.M.
ITEM # 54933
Mayor Oberndorf advised the City Manager was on vacation and recognized Charles Meyer, Chief Operating Officer,
who introduced Chief Bruce W Edwards- Emergency Medical Services, to present the third in a series of briefings
relative Public Safety Staffing and Deployment.
Chief Edwards displayed a chart reflecting EMS Calls for Service by Volume (2001 - 2005). Since 2001, the City's calls
for service have increased an average of 3. 5% or 1200 calls annually. This trend is expected to continue into the future.
EMS Call Volume is the only public safety service demand that has increased in the last two consecutive years.
The top five (5) call types dispatched are: unconscious, illness, cardiac, injurylfall and breathing difficulty. The other
category consists of approximately 30 (thirty) call types i.e. seizures, burns, maternities, accidents, et cetera. The greatest
number of calls are individuals from sixty-six years of age and older. These account for approximately one-third of all
EMS calls. This patient group tends to have multiple or more complex problems. As the population ages, this percentage
will only get larger.
Emergency Medical Services is a full service department providing a range of special rescue services. EMS is proud of
their special teams:
Special Operations Incidents
Deployments
Marine Rescue
Vehicle Entrapments
SWAT Medics
Bike Team
SAR Team

Chief Edwards displayed a map reflecting Geographic Demand. The city is divided into grids of approximately one
square mile. Utilizing the grids, the call demands and responses can be plotted to a particular area of the City. The busy
zones are highlighted in "purple". Those grids depicted in "yellow" and "white" indicate areas with fewer calls for
service. The highest concentration of service calls continues to be within three (3) miles of either side of Interstate 264. As
ambulance deployment models are developed, this is an important consideration.
Operating Philosophy
Integrated system of First Response, Advanced Life Support, Transport
Citywide ambulance response
Performance measured at the 9(jh percentile level (no averages reported)
Average response times are not utilized. EMS data reflects 90% achievement. The 90% percentile indicates the
measurement of 90 out of 100 Calls for Service (includes all responses). This percentile measure is much greater than an
average. This is a stringent measurement.
The Volunteer Rescue Squad system remains strong. There was a net decline in membership during 2003 and 2004. This
was attributed to several factors: negative attention impacted morale and some members transitioned to career positions.
There has been a net increase in membership for 2005.

CITY MANA GER'S BRIEFING
EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES
ITEM # 54933 (Continued)
Volunteer retention programs have raised morale considerably. Expanded recruiting programs are paying off.
(Orientation enrollment up 64%). The goal is to continue with this enrollment trend.
Career Personnel
Com osition
4 Bri ade Chie s hired in 2004
24 Medics hired in 2004
8 Medics hired in 2005
Advanced Life Support (ALS) delivery
Rescue squad augmentation
Weekday staffin
Four (4) positions are assigned to a Monday through Friday workday schedule, which allows extra ambulances on the
streets during the busiest time demand (power shift). Ambulance crews are scheduled under a model which balances a
number offactors: geographic coverage, high demand areas and areas with longer travel times. Resources are adjusted
in response to call demands. While responding to 2,288 additional calls in 2005 (6.8% increase from 2003), EMS was
still able to decrease citywide response times by 19.5% and decrease rural response times by 28.9%. Additional
ambulance staffing led to shorter travel times. At least one ambulance crew is assigned to the Shore Drive area. The bulk
of service calls are along 1-264. Therefore, this area is assigned additional crews beyond the geographic baseline. There
is always a paramedic assigned to Creeds to assist the Rescue Squads with immediate response of an ambulance. A chart
indicating Demand vs. Ambulance Response Times was displayed. The response time graph has been overlaid onto the
demand chart depicted earlier. As demands have increased since 2001, so did ambulance response times. However, at
the addition of the ERS enhancements in 2004, there has been a significant dip in response times, which is related
primarily to having more ambulances, and equates to shorter travel times. The data covers all types of calls from low
priority illness to heart attacks. These have not been separated by priorities. A graph depicting "First Help and
Ambulance" times did not reflect the police response to the most critical call of Cardiac Arrest. This response is
consistently one full minute faster than Fire and EMS. Emergency Medical Service's goal is to have an ambulance arrive
within six (6) minutes of the first help. However, Chief Edwards would prefer the Priority 1 and 2 achievements be lower.
By efforts in the 911 Center, and getting the crews into the trucks faster, some seconds can be "shaved off". The travel
time is the largest interval and where EMS will focus their energies.

Field supervisor force at maximum output
Increased staff capacity required to meet increasing
demands for the future
Charles Meyer advised the pilot Global Positioning System (GPS) program has been funded. In discussions with
Resource Management, EMS is attempting to include the GPS in the Automatic Vehicle Locator overall package.
Chief Edwards advised the staff is reviewing concerns relative quicker response re ojjloading patients at hospital
emergency rooms. The delay is due to hospital overload throughout the region. The new Princess Anne Commons
Complex should provide some relief Electronic Field Reporting should also compress the time at the hospital.
Chief Edwards was Co-Chair of the Tidewater Emergency Medical Services Regional Diversion Committee for the past
two (2) years. Sentara Norfolk General Hospital was being overloaded in the Winter (flu season) and Sentara Virginia
Beach General was being overloaded in the Summer (tourist season). Hospitals could not take ambulance patients so they
were diverted to another hospital and thus lengthened the travel and response times for the Emergency Medical Services.
After meeting with representatives of the hospitals, various processes were developed which eased this problem.
Councilman Diezel expressed concern. Information shall be provided which supports eight (8) ambulances per day.
Response times shall be depicted in a different format. The location of the ten (10) squads shall be depicted on a map with
the four-minute response times blocked out. This would reflect the complexity with geographic and transportation lines. A
briefing shall be provided relative this concept. The processing time of the 911 Center needs to be reviewed. With the
exception of EMS, protocol screening exists. The only information needed immediately is the incident and address: i.e.
house on fire, spouse chocking. After dispatch, the follow up screening could take place.

REAL ESTATE ASSESSMENT ANNUAL REPORT
2:25 P.M.
ITEM # 54934
Jerald D. Banagan, Real Estate Assessor, advised on March 3, 2006, the Assessor's Office will mail Notices of
Assessment for the Fiscal Year 2007. The City has approximately 148,000 pieces of property with 135,000 homes.
Approximately 0.1 % of all properties will receive a decrease in assessment and approximately 98% will receive an
increase. The projected assessment is $45,582,234,063, which represents a 21.9% change. Each penny of the tax rate
will generate $4,607,000 in revenue for a total tax of $471,734,000 at the current rate of $1.0239. The average
assessment change for individual properties is approximately +19.61 %; however, this figure varies citywide depending
on the age, type, quality, classification and location of the property.
Average Assessment Changes
Residential
Apartment
Commercial/industrial
+22.15%,

Assessments resulted primarily from sales data of July 2004 thru June 2005. There were 11,333 qualified residential sales
with a median ratio of 97%, 265 qualified commercial sales with a median ratio of 96%. The average assessment for a
single-family house is $298,900 with an average for all residences being $266,200. The largest assessment increases
have been in the most modestly priced properties: town houses and condominiums. Mr. Banagan displayed a graph
depicting Average Home Assessment. Over the last three (3) years, a 50% increase is reflected.
New construction for the past twelve (J2) months amounted to $629,500,000, which is an increase of 25.8% from the
previous year. Residential new construction amounted to 71.9% of the total yearly construction, while

ITEM # 54934 (Continued)
Mr. Banagan advised the Old Dominion Market Study was completed last week. The number of new houses in Hampton
Roads has remained at 5,000 for the past few years. This contributed to the development policies and lack of land in the
entire region. The average assessment on a new home is $438,000, an increase of 50% over a three-year time frame

MINORITY SUBCONTRACTING
2:43 P.M.
ITEM # 54936
Patricia Phillips, Director of Finance, presented information re Proposed Procurement Ordinance
Changes to Encourage Contracting and Subcontracting with Woman-Owned and Minority-Owned
Businesses. The proposed changes will require a Woman and Minority Participation Plan for
construction contracts over $50,000 and all Request for Proposals. The awards will still be made to the
lowest responsible and responsive bidder. The goal is to strengthen and clarify the City Code in this
important area. In November 2004, the City's Minority Business Council (MBC) presented proposed
initiatives to City Council. Currently, Minority-owned businesses receive about 2% of City business and
woman-owned businesses receive about 1.8% of City business. Mrs. Phillips expressed appreciation to
City Attorney Leslie Lilley, Assistant City Attorney Jaime Tyler, Purchasing Agent William Davis, Dean
Block, Director - Department of Public Works, Phil Davenport - Public Works Business Manager, Tom
Leahy, Director - Public Utilities, Gary Jones - Public Utilities, the Minority Business Council and
Barbara Booker- Williams - Minority Business Coordinator. The Department of Economic Development
is in the process of adding a business representative who would focus on Minority Businesses and this
process is near conclusion.
Proposed Amendment
General Overview
Require a Woman and Minority Participation Plan for all construction
contracts in excess of$50, 000 and all Requestfor Proposals (RFP's).
Notice to all Woman and Minority-Owned businesses in database
regarding each construction Invitation for Bid (IRE) over $50,000 and
for all Request for Proposals (RFP's).
Invitation for Bid (IRE) for goods and services over $50,000 will be sent
to at least three (3) woman or minority-owned businesses, if possible.
Failure to submit a Woman and Minority Participation Plan shall result
in a bid being declared nonresponsive.
Mrs. Phillips defined "Minority-Owned Business": 51 % owned and controlled by one or more socially
and economically disadvantage persons and includes (but not limited to) Black Americans, Hispanic
Americans, Asian Americans, Eskimos and Aleuts.
Mrs. Phillips distributed a Matrix to detail each proposed revision to the City Code. Said information is
hereby made a part of the record.
Currently the City Code does not provide a definition of Woman and Minority Participation Plan nor
Woman-Owned Business.

CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
3:37 P.M.
ITEM # 54937
Councilman Diezel referenced at the Town Hall Meeting for the residents of Kempsville and Centerville,
Thursday, February 23, 2006, Salem High School, at 7:00 P.M.
The meeting commenced with a statement that everybody at this table had stated they were not for
condemning homes for redevelopment by private developers. This was followed by a citation from the
Comprehensive Plan interpreted that the Plan is encouraging a Redevelopment and Housing Authority.
A question arose: "Would anyone take up the challenge to balance public comments with the written
policy?" Councilman Diezel requested, after the results of the Referendum are published, City Council
consider if the language in the Comprehensive Plan is at odds with the City Council's philosophical
policy, then the Comprehensive Plan will need to be reviewed and/or changed.
Mayor Oberndorf referenced attending the United States Conference of Mayor's Leadership Meeting.
Two (2) items dominated the conversations: (a) horrendous decision by the Supreme Court and, (b) Port
Security as has been reported in the newspaper.
ITEM # 54938
Vice Mayor Jones and Councilman Wood, Liaisons, distributed a Summary Report of the Shore Drive
Safety Task Force. The Resolution establishing the Shore Drive Safety Task Force was adopted on
December 20, 2005. The Shore Drive Safety Task Force had their first meeting January 10, 2006. The
purpose of the first meeting of the Task Force was to establish the area of Shore Drive to be studied and
then brainstorm ideas for safety improvements. Meetings were conducted on January 31, February 17
and February 21,2006. After the final meeting, staff will prepare a draft report of the recommendations
of the Shore Drive Safety Task Force to be presented to the Shore Drive Advisory Committee on March
16, 2006, and then to the City Council on March 28, 2006. The DRAFT report will include short, mid and
long-term recommendations in the areas of regulatory, infrastructure and public information. Charles
Meyer, Chief Operating Officer, was an excellent facilitator. This information is hereby made a part of
the record.
Robert Scott, Director of Planning, referenced the encroachments contained within the report. Shore
Drive, when platted, was an irregular right-of-way. Railroad elements existed with circular areas and
serve no particular function at the present time. There are approximately twelve (12) areas along Shore
Drive containing encroachments on public property. The Don Julios right-of-way encroachments
involving parking (indicated in "blue '') is probably one of the larger examples. All the encroachments
should be addressed.

3. Ordinance ESTABLISHING "Transition Rules" re the development of
property in the RT-2 Resort Tourist District
On December 20, 2005, the City Council adopted an Ordnance amending zoning regulations applicable
in the RT-1, RT-2 and RT-3 Resort Tourist Districts. The ordinance amendments became effective as of
the date of adoption. The proposed ordinance establishes Transition Rules for site plans and subdivision
plats in he RT-2 Resort Tourist District. It provides that site plans and subdivision plats that are
submitted by the close of business on May 1, 2006, shall be subject to the RT-2 District Zoning
regulations that were in effect prior to the December 20, 2005 amendments.
The City Attorney distributed a Revision as the Navy is concerned about density in the Resort Area. The
following verbiage shall be added on line 51.
d. "The application of these rules shall not result in any increase in
density over that allowed by the ordinances and regulations of the
City applicable to such property on December 19,2005."
Councilman Maddox advised there were extenuating circumstances relative the application of Richard
Kowalewitch. He submitted his plans in August or September 2005.
Stephen White, Planning, advised the staff has been working with two (2) properties located in the RT-2
District and are in a similar situation as Mr. Kowalewitch. In order to have multi-family in the RT-2,
another use must be present on the ground floor, i. e. retail/recreation (something other than residential
use). These applicants are amending their plans.
Mayor Oberndorf advised the Navy still has not "signed off" on the Joint Land Use Study. Mayor
Oberndorf believes everyone will expect the same courtesy as Mr. Kowalewitch.
Robert Scott, Director of Planning, expressed concern. Mr. Scott advised all the elements of Mr.
Kowalewitch's plan can still be present, but must be arranged differently on the site.
