ITEM # 57336 Councilman Wood inquired re the traffic signal on Shore Drive, near Seashore State Park. Councilman Wood requested Public Works prepare a briefing. Mayor Oberndorf advised all members received a telephone call from a gentleman who has been very supportive of the First Landing State Park (formerly Seashore State Park). There is concern relative the design of the road and the traffic signal, which is perceived to do damage to the entrance of the Seashore side. Mayor Oberndorf advised Council Lady Wilson and Councilman Wood are very interested to determine if the design and signal could be adjusted, so the historically appealing entrance would not be totally obliterated. Council Lady Wilson also requested a delay in the project. Council Lady McClanan was told the State Park was not totally involved in the process concerning the traffic signal and design of the road. She asked why the Park had not been considered. A report shall be provided within a few weeks. ITEM # 57337 Councilman Uhrin and Vice Mayor Jones have been working with the retired military to create economic development opportunities. This entails identifying personnel leaving the Navy to assist in linkage with positions in the private sector and also to identi opportunities that would bring businesses to the City, which would actually support the mission of the various bases throughout the City. Vice Mayor Jones and Councilman Uhrin asked that the MILITARY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE (MEDAC) be created and appointed by City Council. Vice Mayor Jones and Councilman Uhrin requested a Resolution creating MEDAC be scheduled for the City Council Session of March 4, 2008. Councilman Uhrin distributed a listing of the proposed Members for the MEDAC. This will not result in any cost to the City. The Committee would be working in conjunction with Economic Development. There are some great opportunities. Burton Station (right down from Little Creek) could be expanded to idents the needs of Little Creek and have Economic Development go to specific companies and inquire if interested in being located within a couple of miles from the command served. This concept is not to establish policy for the City. The entire focus is to bring forward economic development opportunities. This concept would be under the Development Authority. Councilman Villanueva referenced the strong Navy presence on the Committee. Councilman Villanueva has some suggested names from the Army, Coast Guard, etc. Mayor Oberndorf advised she would be able to provide some excellent names from the Coast Guard. ITEM # 57338 Council Lady Henley had suggested many times an enhanced tax exemption and some incentive for historic structures to be more palatable for owners of historically significant structures to be able to rehabilitate them. Deputy City Attorney William Macali has developed a DRAFT: Ordinance to AMEND City Code Section 35-80.1 pertaining to Real Estate Tax Exemptions and Tax Credits for Rehabilitation of historically significant structures. February 26, 2008 -9 - CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS ITEM # 57338 (Continued) This ordinance will accomplish the recommendations of the last analysis (in 1999) (Study of Financial Incentives for Historic Preservation) i.e. amending the tax exemption ordinance to make rehabilitation of historic structures easier and take full advantage of all benefits allowed by the State. At the present time, only a portion is utilized and the City requires the improvement increase the value at least twenty (20%) percent. The proposed ordinance will state: "For rehabilitated historically significant residential structures, the exemption shall be in an amount equal to the greater of the initial increase in assessed value of the structure, as determined by the real estate assessor, or an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the qualifying costs of the rehabilitation, as defined in subdivision (3) of subsection (b), not to exceed the amount of the assessment of the structure at any time after its rehabilitation". This Amended Ordinance will also make the process easier. The present ordinance requires the owner or the resident to appear three (3) times before the Historic Review Board. As this is cumbersome, Council Lady Henley believes no resident has taken advantage of the partial exemption from real estate taxation. Unfortunately, the Federal and State Tax Credit only apply to income producing property. All categories (including historically significant hotel or motel structures) have been included in this new exemption. The largest percentage of historic homes are owner -occupied residential. The City will be dependent on the property owners of these structures to maintain them. The last survey of historic properties was in 1994 and was not complete. The list of historic properties must be verified. The Historic Society, with Volunteers, will coordinate this project to determine if the structure is still in existence. When the structures are determined, a Workshop will be necessary to invite the owners of these properties to attend. The public needs to be aware the City values these historic structures and appreciates the citizens are willing to own and maintain these historical structures. On November 23, 1999, City Council ADOPTED: Ordinances to AMEND the City Code re historic preservation: a. Article IV, Chapter 8, ADDING Section 8-91, to establish the Virginia Beach Historical Register, setting forth standards and procedures b. Section 35-80.1 re partial exemption from real estate taxation for historically significant rehabilitated structures. In order to take advantage of this real estate exemption, the property needs to be either on the Historical Register of the locality or have an application in for inclusion in the Register. The review of the application shall be by the Director of Planning or his designee in order to assure the rehabilitation project is not compromising the historic structure. The Historical Review Board shall review the property in the beginning and determine whether said property should be listed on the Historical Register. Council Lady Henley advised the Historical Society conducted a program entitled "Community Roots" re the Virginia Beach/Jamestown 2007 400`h Commemoration Event and out of this came the Boardwalk History Fest. Community Roots is still an ongoing project. On March 9, 2008, the Historical Society will be having its Spring meeting at Beach Methodist Church, emphasizing North Beach and the Resort Area. A Briefing, ENHANCED TAX EXEMPTION FOR HISTORIC STRUCTURES, will be scheduled for the City Council Session, of March 4, 2008. The Ordinance shall be scheduled for the following City Council Session of March 11, 2008. February 26, 2008 - 10 - CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS ITEM # 57339 Council Lady Wilson referenced on October 23, 2007, City Council ADOPTED: Resolution REQUESTING the City's local General Assembly Delegation to work with Norfolk's Delegation to support legislation re prohibition of smoking in restaurants Some of the restaurant owners have contacted Council Lady Wilson and are upset the smoking ban is not moving forward. The restaurant owners have requested the City Council REAFFIRM their support. This matter was approved by the Senate, but was not approved by the House of Delegates. Mayor Oberndorf believed a Resolution would be preferable. The City Attorney was asked to DRAFT a Resolution to be presented during the Formal Session of City Council. Councilman Villanueva advised he had also been working with the Restaurant Association and suggested a Charter Amendment. Many localities promote healthy businesses. A City Seal outside the establishment indicates the facility is non-smoking. The City Attorney advised a Charter Change would have to be scheduled for next year and would entail a two-thirds vote of the General Assembly. Language would be added to give the City authority to regulate this type of activity (smoking in restaurants). ITEM # 57340 Mayor Oberndorf is working with Deputy City Attorney Rod Ingram re making the City's Animal Control facility, not only for rehabilitation but to also become "adoption friendly ". Mayor Oberndorf has also discussed this matter with other Mayors across the United States. These municipalities are also placing their emphasis on finding homes for animals. Adoption friendly facilities have special plexiglass rooms where families can become acquainted with the animals. Mayor Oberndorf advised she is urging Veterinarians to volunteer no cost inoculations to the vulnerable animals (very young puppies and the older dogs) Any additional cost and revenue streams will be determined. A Resolution shall be SCHEDULED for the City Council Session of March 4, 2008. ITEM # 57341 Mayor Oberndorf referenced discussions at the Executive Board meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, that many cities are struggling re the liquidity of the municipal bonds and having to pay a higher interest rate. She was amazed not that many cities have the excellent bond rate that Virginia each has. ITEM # 57342 Councilman DeSteph advised he has been reviewing the City Policy's re Investment Partnerships for Economic Development. The Policy Report and Policy need to be revised concerning names and titles of individuals no longer with the City. Councilman DeSteph is working with the City Attorney to revise this Policy.

Each Bond shall bear interest at such rate as shall be determined at the time of sale, calculated on the basis of a 360 -day year of twelve 30 -day months, and payable semiannually on dates determined by the City Manager.

The City has heretofore entered into a Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations relating to a book -entry system to be maintained by DTC with respect to the Bonds. "Securities Depository" shall mean DTC or any other securities depository for the Bonds appointed pursuant to this Section 2. In the event that (a) the Securities Depository determines not to continue to act as the securities depository for the Bonds by giving notice to the Registrar, and the City discharges its responsibilities hereunder, or (b) the City, in its sole discretion, determines (i) that beneficial owners of Bonds shall be able to obtain certificated Bonds or (ii) to select a new Securities Depository, then the City's Director of Finance shall, at the direction of the City, attempt to locate another qualified securities depository to serve as Securities Depository and authenticate and deliver certificated Bonds to the new Securities Depository or its nominee, or authenticate and deliver certificated Bonds to the beneficial owners or to the Securities Depository participants on behalf of beneficial owners substantially in the form provided for in Section 6; provided, that such form shall provide for interest on the Bonds to be payable (A) from the date of the Bonds if they are authenticated prior to the first interest payment date, or (B) from the interest payment date that -3- is or immediately precedes the date on which the Bonds are authenticated (unless payment of interest thereon is in default, in which case interest on such Bonds shall be payable from the date to which interest has been paid). In delivering certificated Bonds, the City's Director of Finance shall be entitled to rely on the records of the Securities Depository as to the beneficial owners or the records of the Securities Depository participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Such certificated Bonds will then be registrable, transferable and exchangeable as set forth in Section 8. So long as there is a Securities Depository for the Bonds, (1) it or its nominee shall be the registered owner of the Bonds, (2) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Resolution, determinations of persons entitled to payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, transfers of ownership and exchanges, and receipt of notices shall be the responsibility of the Securities Depository and shall be effected pursuant to rules and procedures established by such Securities Depository, (3) the Registrar and the City shall not be responsible or liable for maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records maintained by the Securities Depository, its participants or persons acting through such participants, (4) references in this Resolution to registered owners of the Bonds shall mean such Securities Depository or its nominee and shall not mean the beneficial owners of the Bonds, and (5) in the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Resolution and the provisions of the above -referenced Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations, such provisions of the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations, except to the extent set forth in this paragraph and the next preceding paragraph, shall control. 3. Refunding Provisions. The City Manager is authorized and directed to select the principal maturities of the Prior Bonds or portions of such maturities to be refunded and to cause to be called for optional redemption any such maturity or portion thereof to be redeemed prior to its stated maturity in accordance with the provisions of such bonds; provided such maturities or portions thereof selected are expected to provide a minimum savings of 2.85% on a net present value basis as determined by the Financial Advisors. In connection with the refunding herein authorized, the City Manager, if determined necessary or appropriate in consultation with the Financial Advisors, is authorized to retain the services of independent consultants to provide verification reports (the "Verification Agent") on aspects of the refunding and is further authorized to retain the services of one or more escrow agents (the "Escrow Agent") and to enter into escrow agreements with them to the extent needed to hold portions of the proceeds of Refunding Bonds and other funds as needed pending their application to refund the Prior Bonds or portions thereof selected to be refunded. 4. Redemption Provisions. (a) Optional Redemption. The Public Improvement Bonds shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the City Manager, in whole or in part, at any time on or after dates, if any, determined by the City Manager, but no later than October 1, 2017 as set forth in Section 2 at a redemption price equal to the principal amount to be redeemed, together with any interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, plus a redemption premium not to exceed 2% of the principal amount to be redeemed, such redemption premium to be determined by the City Manager. Refunding Bonds with a term to maturity of eleven years or less shall not be -4- subject to optional redemption before their stated maturity. Refunding Bonds with a term to maturity of more than eleven years shall be subject to optional redemption on the same terms and conditions as the Public Improvement Bonds; provided, however, the redemption date may be later in calendar year 2017 if the Refunding Bonds are issued at a later date or have a different principal repayment schedule. (b) Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption. Any term bonds may be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption upon terms determined by the City Manager. If so determined by the City Manager, the Bonds may provide that the City may take a credit against the mandatory sinking fund redemption obligation of any maturity of term Bonds in the amount of Bonds of the same maturity that have been optionally redeemed or surrendered for cancellation and have not been applied previously as such a credit. If the City wishes to take such a credit, on or before the 70th day next preceding any such mandatory sinking fund redemption date, the City's Director of Finance may instruct the Registrar to apply a credit against the City's mandatory sinking fund redemption obligation for any Bonds of the applicable maturity that have been optionally redeemed or surrendered for cancellation by the City and have not been previously applied as a credit against any mandatory sinking fund redemption obligation for that maturity of the Bonds. Each Bond so previously optionally redeemed or surrendered shall be credited at 100% of the principal amount thereof against the principal amount of such maturity of the Bonds required to be redeemed on such mandatory sinking fund redemption date or dates for such maturity as may be selected by the Director of Finance. (c) Selection of Bonds for Redemption. If less than all of the Bonds are called for optional redemption, the maturities of the Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by the City's Director of Finance in such manner as may be determined to be in the best interest of the City. If less than all of a particular maturity of the Bonds are called for redemption, the Bonds within such maturity to be redeemed shall be selected by the Securities Depository pursuant to its rules and procedures or, if the book -entry system is discontinued, shall be selected by the Registrar by lot in such manner as the Registrar in its discretion may determine. In either case, (a) the portion of any Bond to be redeemed shall be in the principal amount of $5,000 or some integral multiple thereof and (b) in selecting Bonds for redemption, each Bond shall be considered as representing that number of Bonds that is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Bond by $5,000. (d) Redemption Notices. The City shall cause notice of the call for redemption identifying the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed to be sent by facsimile transmission, registered or certified mail or overnight express delivery, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, to the registered owner of the Bonds. The City shall not be responsible for mailing notice of redemption to anyone other than DTC or another qualified Securities Depository or its nominee unless no qualified Securities Depository is the registered owner of the Bonds. If no qualified Securities Depository is the registered owner of the Bonds, notice of redemption shall be mailed to the registered owners of the Bonds. If a portion of a Bond is called for redemption, a new Bond in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued to the registered owner upon the surrender thereof. -5- 5. Execution and Authentication. The Bonds shall be signed by the manual or facsimile signature of the Mayor or Vice -Mayor, shall be countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of the City Clerk or Deputy Clerk, and the City's seal shall be affixed thereto or a facsimile thereof printed thereon; provided, that if both of such signatures are facsimiles, no Bond shall be valid until it has been authenticated by the manual signature of the City Treasurer, as Registrar, or an authorized officer or employee of any bank or trust company serving as successor Registrar and the date of authentication noted thereon. 6. Bond Form. The Bonds shall be in substantially the form attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A, with such completions, omissions, insertions and changes not inconsistent with this Resolution as may be approved by the officers signing the Bonds, whose approval shall be evidenced conclusively by the execution and delivery of the Bonds. 7.

Registration, Transfer and Owners of Bonds. The City Treasurer is appointed paying agent and registrar for the Bonds (the "Registrar"). The City may appoint a qualified bank or trust company as successor paying agent and registrar of the Bonds. The Registrar shall maintain registration books for the registration and registration of transfers of the Bonds.

Any such transfer or exchange shall be at the expense of the City, except that the Registrar may charge the person requesting such transfer or exchange the amount of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect thereto. The Registrar shall treat the registered owner as the person or entity exclusively entitled to payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and the exercise of all other rights and powers of the owner, except that interest payments shall be made to the person or entity shown as owner on the registration books as of the Record Date. 9.

The City shall pay any such required rebate from its legally available funds. 15. Non -Arbitrage Certificate and Elections. Such officers of the City as may be requested are authorized and directed to execute an appropriate certificate setting forth the reasonably expected use and investment of the proceeds of the Bonds in order to show that such reasonably expected use and investment will not violate the provisions of Section 148 of the Code, and any elections such officers deem desirable regarding rebate of earnings to the United States, for purposes of complying with Section 148 of the Code.

The Bonds will be registered as to principal and interest in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC, or otherwise as hereinafter described. Beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds will be available only in book -entry form. Beneficial Owners (as hereinafter defined) will not receive physical bond certificates representing their interests in the Bonds purchased. So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of the Bonds, references in this Official Statement to the owners of the Bonds shall mean DTC or its nominee and shall not mean the Beneficial Owners. The Resolution contains provisions applicable to periods when DTC or its nominee is not the registered owner. As long as the Bonds are held by DTC or its nominee, interest will be paid to Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, in same day funds on each interest payment date. Interest on the Bonds will be payable on October 1, 2008, and on each April 1 and October 1 thereafter until maturity by check or draft mailed to the registered owners at their addresses as they appear on the registration books on the March 15 and September 15 immediately preceding each interest payment date. If such interest payment date is not a business day, such payment will be made on the next succeeding business day with the same effect as if made on the interest payment date, and no additional interest will accrue. The registration books are kept by the City Treasurer, who has been appointed paying agent and registrar (the "Registrar"). Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360 -day year of twelve 30 -day months. Redemption Optional Redemption. The Bonds maturing on or before October 1, 2017, are not subject to redemption prior to maturity. The Bonds maturing on or after October 1, 2018, are subject to redemption beginning October 1, 2017, in whole or in part (in any multiple of $5,000) at any time, at the option of the City, upon payment of 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed plus interest accrued and unpaid to the date fixed for redemption. Selection of Bonds for Redemption. If less than all of the Bonds are called for optional redemption, the maturities of the Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by the City's Director of Finance in such manner as may be determined to be in the best interest of the City. If less than all of the Bonds of a particular maturity are called for redemption, DTC or any successor securities depository will select the Bonds to be redeemed pursuant to its rules and procedures or, if the book -entry system is discontinued, the Bonds to be redeemed will be selected by the Registrar by lot in such manner as the Registrar in its discretion may determine. In either case, each portion of the $5,000 principal amount is counted as one Bond for such purpose. If a portion of a Bond is called for redemption, a new Bond in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued to the registered owner upon the surrender thereof. Notice of Redemption. The City will cause notice of the call for redemption identifying the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed to be sent by facsimile transmission, registered or certified mail or overnight express delivery, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, to the registered owner thereof. The City shall not be responsible for mailing notice of redemption to anyone other than DTC or another qualified securities depository or its nominee unless no qualified securities depository is the registered owner of the Bonds. If no qualified securities depository is the registered owner of the Bonds, notice of redemption shall be mailed to the registered owners of the Bonds. 4 Book -Entry System A description of DTC, of procedures and record keeping on beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds, payment of interest and other payments on the Bonds to DTC Participants (as hereinafter defined) or to Beneficial Owners, confirmation and transfer of beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds and other transactions by and between DTC, DTC Participants and Beneficial Owners is attached as Appendix D and is based on information furnished by DTC. Authorization and Purpose of the Bonds The Bonds were authorized by ordinances adopted by the City Council on May 10, 2005, May 9, 2006 and May 15, 2007, and by the Resolution adopted on 1February 26, 2008.] The Bonds will be issued pursuant to the Resolution and the Constitution and statutes of the Commonwealth, including the Charter of the City of Virginia Beach (Chapter 147, Acts of Assembly of 1962, as amended) and the Public Finance Act of 1991 (Chapter 26, Title 15.2, Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended) (the "Act"). Of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds, $37,602,593 represents a portion of $55,200,000 of bonds that were authorized by an ordinance adopted by the City Council on May 10, 2005, without being submitted to the qualified voters of the City (the "2005 Charter Bonds"), to provide funds, together with other funds that may be available, for the various public improvements, including schools, roadways, economic and tourism and building projects. After this sale, the City will have no authorized but unissued balance of 2005 Charter Bonds. Of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds, $52,397,407 represents a portion of $63,800,000 of bonds that were authorized by an ordinance adopted by the City Council on May 9, 2006, and subsequently reduced to $59,800,000 by an ordinance adopted by the City Council on May 15, 2007 without being submitted to the qualified voters of the City (the "2006 Charter Bonds"), to provide funds, together with other funds that may be available, for the various public improvements, including schools, roadways, economic and tourism and building projects. After this sale, the City will have an authorized but unissued balance of $7,402,593 remaining from the 2006 Charter Bonds. None of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds will represent a portion of $63,800,000 of bonds that were authorized by an ordinance adopted by the City Council on May 15, 2007, without being submitted to the qualified voters of the City (the "2007 Charter Bonds"), to provide funds, together with other funds that may be available, for the various public improvements, including schools, roadways, coastal, economic and tourism, building and parks and recreation projects. After this sale, the City will have an authorized but unissued balance of $63,800,000 remaining from the 2007 Charter Bonds. Proceeds of the Bonds will be used for the purpose of providing funds for various public improvements and paying a portion of the costs of issuance related to the Bonds. Security for and Sources of Payment for the Bonds Pledge of Full Faith and Credit. The Bonds will be general obligations of the City, and the full faith and credit of the City are irrevocably pledged to payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds. The Resolution provides that the City Council will, in each year while any of the Bonds are outstanding, levy and collect an ad valorem tax, over and above all other taxes authorized or limited by law and without limitation as to the rate or amount, upon all property in the City subject to local taxation, sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same shall come due, unless other funds are lawfully available and appropriated for timely payment of the Bonds. 5 Bondholders' Remedies in the Event of Default. Section 15.2-2659 of the Virginia Code provides that upon affidavit filed with the Governor of Virginia by or on behalf of any owner of a general obligation bond, or by any paying agent therefor, in default as to payment of principal or interest, the Governor shall immediately conduct a summary investigation. If it is established to the Governor's satisfaction that payment of the bond or interest thereon is in default, the Governor shall order the State Comptroller to withhold all funds appropriated and payable by the Commonwealth to the political subdivision so in default and apply the amount so withheld to payment of the defaulted principal and interest. Section 15.2-2659 also provides for notice to the registered owners of such bonds of the default and the availability of withheld funds. The State Comptroller advises that to date no order to withhold funds pursuant to Section 15.1-227.61 or Section 15.1-225, the predecessor provisions of 15.2-2659, has ever been issued. Although Section 15.2-2659 has not been approved by a Virginia Court, the Attorney General of Virginia has ruled that appropriated funds may be withheld by the Commonwealth pursuant to its predecessor section. In the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2007, the Commonwealth provided $128,791,428 to the City, not including its discretely presented component units, of which $84,662,663 was deposited in the City's General Fund. Neither the Bonds nor the proceedings with respect thereto specifically provide any remedies to Bondholders if the City defaults in the payment of principal of or interest thereon, nor do they contain any provision for the appointment of a trustee to enforce the interest of the Bondholders upon the occurrence of such a default. Upon any default in the payment of principal or interest, a Bondholder could, among other things, seek to obtain from an appropriate court a writ of mandamus requiring the City Council to levy and collect taxes as described above. The mandamus remedy, however, may be impracticable and difficult to enforce. Furthermore, the right to enforce payment of the Bonds may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and similar laws and equitable principles, which may limit the specific enforcement of certain remedies. Chapter 9 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") permits a municipality such as the City, if insolvent or otherwise unable to pay its debts as they become due, to file a voluntary petition for the adjustment of debts provided that such municipality is "specifically authorized, in its capacity as a municipality or by name, to be a debtor...." Bankruptcy Code, Section 109(c)(2). Current Virginia statutes do not expressly authorize the City or municipalities generally to file for bankruptcy under Chapter 9. Chapter 9 does not authorize the filing of involuntary petitions against municipalities such as the City. Bankruptcy proceedings by the City could have adverse effects on Bondholders including (a) delay in the enforcement of their remedies, (b) subordination of their claims to claims of those supplying goods and services to the City after the initiation of bankruptcy proceedings and to the administrative expenses of bankruptcy proceedings, and (c) imposition without their consent of a reorganization plan reducing or delaying payment of the Bonds. The Bankruptcy Code contains provisions intended to ensure that, in any reorganization plan not accepted by at least a majority of a class of creditors such as the holders of general obligation bonds, such creditors will have the benefit of their original claims or the "indubitable equivalent." The effect of these and other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code cannot be predicted and may be significantly affected by judicial interpretations. Estimated Sources and Uses of Funds follows: The proceeds of the Bonds, exclusive of other available funds of the City, are to be used as 6 Sources of Funds: Par Amount of Bonds $90,000,000 Net Original Issue Premium Total Sources of Funds $ Uses of Funds: Project Costs $ Underwriter's Compensation Total Uses of Funds $ Litigation Concerning the Bonds. According to the City Attorney, there is no litigation of any kind now pending or, to the best of his information, knowledge and belief, threatened against the City to restrain or enjoin the issuance or delivery of the Bonds or in any manner questioning the proceedings and authority under which the Bonds are issued or affecting the ability of the City to levy or collect ad valorem taxes without limitation as to rate or amount for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds. General Fund. The City is a named defendant in various litigation matters filed by parties concerning alleged personal injuries, property damage and other causes of action which are being vigorously defended by the City. In the opinion of the City Attorney, none of the pending litigation, if decided adversely to the City, would materially affect the City's fmancial position. Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund. The City has prevailed in all litigation concerning the Lake Gaston Water Supply Project, which became operational in January, 1998. On March 31, 2004, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") issued a new, 40 -year license for Lake Gaston. Legal Matters Certain legal matters relating to the authorization and validity of the Bonds will be subject to the approving opinion of Troutman Sanders LLP, Richmond, Virginia, as Bond Counsel, which will be furnished at the expense of the City upon delivery of the Bonds, in substantially the form set forth as Appendix B. Bond Counsel's opinion will be limited to matters relating to authorization and validity of the Bonds and to the tax-exempt status of interest thereon as described below in the section "Tax Exemption." Bond Counsel has not been engaged to investigate the fmancial resources of the City or its ability to provide for payment of the Bonds. Bond Counsel's opinion will make no statement as to such matters or as to the accuracy or completeness of this Oficial Statement or any other information that may have been relied on by anyone in making the decision to purchase Bonds. 7 Tax Exemption Opinion of Bond Counsel. The scope of engagement of Bond Counsel does not extend to passing upon or assuming responsibility for the accuracy or adequacy of any statements made in this Official Statement other than matters expressly set forth in Bond Counsel's opinion, and Bond Counsel makes no representation that it has independently verified the same. The opinion of Bond Counsel will be dated and given on, and will speak only as of, the date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds. In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under current law, interest on the Bonds, including OID, as described in "Original Issue Discount" below, (a) will not be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes, (b) will not be an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum income tax imposed on individuals and corporations; however, with respect to corporations (as defined for federal income tax purposes) subject to the alternative minimum income tax, such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings for purposes of computing such tax, and (c) will be exempt from income taxation by the Commonwealth. No other opinion is expressed by Bond Counsel regarding the tax consequences of the ownership of or the receipt or accrual of interest on the Bonds. Bond Counsel's opinion will be given in reliance upon certifications by representatives of the City as to certain facts relevant to both the opinion and the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and applicable regulations thereunder, and is subject to the condition that there is compliance subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds with all requirements of the Code that must be satisfied in order for interest thereon to remain excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The City has covenanted to comply with the current provisions of the Code regarding, among other matters, the use, expenditure and investment of the proceeds of the Bonds and the timely payment to the United States of any arbitrage rebate amounts with respect to the Bonds. Failure by the City to comply with such covenants, among other things, could cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactively to their date of issue. Original Issue Premium. Bonds purchased, whether upon issuance or otherwise, for an amount (excluding any amount attributable to accrued interest) in excess of their principal amount will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having amortizable bond premium. A holder's basis in such a Bond must be reduced by the amount of premium which accrues while such Bond is held by the holder. No deduction for such amount will be allowed, but it generally will offset interest on the Bonds while so held. Prospective purchasers of such Bonds should consult their own tax advisors as to the calculation, accrual and treatment of amortizable bond premium and the state and local tax consequences of holding such Bonds. Original Issue Discount. The initial public offering prices of the Bonds maturing in the years through (the "OID Bonds") will be less than their stated principal amounts. In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under current law, the difference between the stated principal amount and the initial offering price of each maturity of OID Bonds to the public (excluding bond houses and brokers) at which a substantial amount of such maturity of such Bonds is sold will constitute original issue discount ("OID"). The offering prices set forth on the inside cover of this Official Statement for the OID Bonds are expected to be the initial offering prices to the public at which a substantial amount of each maturity OID Bonds are sold. Under the Code, for purposes of determining a holder's adjusted basis in an OID Bond, OID treated as having accrued while the holder holds the Bond will be added to the holder's basis. OID will accrue on a constant yield -to -maturity method. The adjusted basis will be used to determine taxable gain or loss upon the sale or other disposition (including redemption or payment at maturity) of an OID Bond. 8 Prospective purchasers of OID Bonds should consult their own tax advisors as to the calculation of accrued OID and the state and local tax consequences of owning or disposing of such Bonds. Other Tax Matters. In addition to the matters addressed above, prospective purchasers of the Bonds should be aware that the ownership of tax-exempt obligations may result in collateral federal income tax consequences to certain taxpayers, including without limitation financial institutions, property and casualty insurance companies, S corporations, foreign corporations subject to the branch profits tax, recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their tax advisors as to the applicability and impact of such consequences. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds also should consult their own tax advisors as to the status of interest on the Bonds under the tax laws of any state other than Virginia. From time to time, there are legislative proposals in the Congress of the United States and in the states that, if enacted, could alter or amend the federal and state tax matters referred to above or adversely affect the market value of the Bonds. It cannot be predicted whether or in what form any such proposal might be enacted or whether if enacted it would apply to bonds issued prior to enactment. In addition, regulatory actions are from time to time announced or proposed and litigation is threatened or commenced which, if implemented or concluded in a particular manner, could adversely affect the market value of the Bonds. An example of such litigation is the case of Davis v. Kentucky Department of Revenue, 197 S.W.3d 557 (2006), the oral argument for which was heard by the U.S. Supreme Court on November 5, 2007 with a decision expected to be rendered in the spring of 2008, challenging Kentucky's taxation of bonds issued by other states and their political subdivisions differently than it taxes bonds issued by Kentucky and its political subdivisions. Virginia law currently has a similar disparity in the tax treatment of interest on bonds issued by the Commonwealth and the interest on bonds issued by other states. It cannot be predicted whether any such regulatory action will be implemented, how any particular litigation or judicial action will be resolved, or whether the value or marketability of the Bonds would be impacted thereby. Ratings Fitch Ratings, One State Street Plaza, New York, New York 10004, Moody's Investors Service, 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10007, and Standard & Poor's Public Finance Ratings, 55 Water Street, New York, New York 10041, have given the Bonds the ratings of "" "" and "" respectively. The City requested that the Bonds be rated and furnished certain information to Fitch, Moody's and Standard & Poor's, including certain information that may not be included in this Official Statement. Fitch issues ratings ranging from AAA to D to designate the relative investment qualities of bonds. Moody's issues ratings ranging from Aaa to C to designate the relative investment qualities of bonds. Standard & Poor's issues ratings ranging from AAA to D to designate the relative investment qualities of bonds. Reference should be made to the individual rating agency for a fuller description of the meaning of the rating assigned by such rating agency. These ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold 9 the Bonds. The ratings are subject to review and change or withdrawal at any time if, in the judgment of the respective rating agency, circumstances so warrant. There is no assurance that any such ratings will continue for any period of time or that they will not be revised or withdrawn. A downward revision or withdrawal of a rating may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Bonds. Sale at Competitive Bidding The Bonds will be offered for sale at competitive bidding at 11:30 a.m., Eastern Time, on Tuesday, March 11, 2008. After the Bonds have been awarded to the winning bidder, the City will issue an Official Statement in final form to be dated March 11, 2008. The City will deem the Official Statement fmal as of its date, and the Official Statement in fmal form will include, among other things, the identity of the winning bidder, the expected selling compensation to the winning bidder and other information on the interest rates and offering prices or yields, all as provided by the winning bidder. A copy of the Official Notice of Sale and a copy of the Official Bid Form are attached to this Preliminary Official Statement as Appendix E. Certificates of City Officials Concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds, the City will furnish to the successful bidder (a) a certificate dated the date of delivery of the Bonds, signed by the appropriate City officials and stating that no litigation of any kind is then pending or, to the best of their information, knowledge and belief, threatened against the City to restrain or enjoin the issuance or delivery of the Bonds or the levy or collection of ad valorem taxes, over and above all other taxes authorized or limited by law and without limitation as to rate or amount on all locally taxable property within the City sufficient to pay when due the principal of or interest on the Bonds, or in any manner questioning the proceedings and authority under which the Bonds are issued, and (b) a certificate dated the date of delivery of the Bonds, stating that the descriptions and statements in this Official Statement (except in Appendix D, in the section above entitled "Tax Exemption," in the section above entitled "Litigation," and in the information as to prices/yields and CUSIP numbers on the inside cover page), on the date of this Official Statement and on the date of delivery of the Bonds, were and are true and correct in all material respects, did not and do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make such descriptions and statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and that no material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition of the City between the date of this Official Statement and the date of delivery of the Bonds other than as contemplated in this Official Statement. Such certificate will also state, however, that such City officials did not independently verify the information indicated in this Official Statement as having been obtained or derived from sources other than the City and its officers, but that they have no reason to believe that such information is not accurate. The City Attorney also will furnish to the successful bidder concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds a certificate dated the date of delivery of the Bonds, stating that the statements in the section above entitled "Litigation" on the date of this Official Statement and on the date of delivery of the Bonds were and are true and correct in all material respects and did not and do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make such statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Legality of the Bonds for Investment The Act provides that bonds issued by the City under the Act are obligations in which public officers and bodies of the Commonwealth, counties, cities and towns and municipal subdivisions of the 10 Commonwealth, insurance companies and associations, savings banks, savings institutions, savings and loan associations, trust companies, beneficial and benevolent associations, administrators, guardians, executors, trustees and other fiduciaries in the Commonwealth may properly and legally invest funds under their control. Continuing Disclosure To assist the winning bidder in complying with the provisions of Rule 15c2-12, the City has agreed to execute a continuing disclosure agreement to provide certain annual fmancial information and material event notices required by Rule 15c2-12 (collectively, "Continuing Disclosure"). A form of that agreement is attached as Appendix C. As set forth in Appendix C, such undertaking requires the City to provide only limited information at specified times and does not require it to disclose all information that may affect the value of the Bonds. The City may choose to make additional information available from time to time, but has no obligation to do so. The City has never failed to comply in all material respects with any previous undertakings with regard to Rule 15c2-12 to provide certain annual financial information and material event notices. The City is required to file its annual Continuing Disclosure with or for the benefit of each nationally recognized municipal securities information repository ("NRMSIR") and with any state information depository ("SID") created in Virginia. No SID has been created for Virginia. The City is required to file any material event notice with (1) each NRMSIR or the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board and (2) any Virginia SID. As described more fully in Appendix C, any Bondholder may take steps to enforce the obligation of the City to provide Continuing Disclosure, but any failure by the City under its obligation will not result in an event of default under the Bonds. Investors and other interested parties may contact any NRMSIR for additional information concerning its services. The City makes no representation as to the scope of the services provided to the secondary market by any NRMSIR or as to the costs for the provision of such services by any NRMSIR. As indicated in Appendix C, the City is permitted to make filings solely through the Texas Municipal Advisory Council (the "MAC") as provided at www.disclosureusa.org unless the SEC withdraws the interpretive advice in its letter to the MAC dated September 7, 2004. 11 SECTION THREE: CERTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA Introduction The present City of Virginia Beach, Virginia was formed on January 1, 1963, by the merger of Princess Anne County and the former smaller City of Virginia Beach. This merger created one of the largest cities in the Commonwealth of Virginia with an area of 310 square miles and 38 miles of shore- line on the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay. The City covers the entire eastern border of Virginia south of the Delmarva Peninsula and includes all of the area from the Chesapeake Bay to the North Carolina border. The City has the largest population of any city in Virginia with a population of 425,257 according to the 2000 U.S. Census and an estimated population in 2007 of 433,033 according to the Weldon Cooper Center of the University of Virginia. As a city on the eastern seaboard, Virginia Beach has always been known as a resort community. The strength of the City's economy, however, lies in its diversification. Construction/real estate, light industry, "high-tech" services, wholesale and retail sales, agriculture, four major military bases, and resort and convention trade are the major aspects of the economy. The City encourages and supports this diversification. Virginia Beach is an independent, full-service city with sole local governmental taxing power within its boundaries. It derives its governing authority from its City Charter granted by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The governing body of the City is the City Council, which formulates policies for the administration of the City. The current City Charter provides for a Council - Manager form of government. There is no overlapping debt or taxing powers with other political subdivisions. The water and sewage systems are operated on a self-supporting basis. The Executive Offices are located at the Municipal Center, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23456 (757) 385-4242. The telephone number for the Finance Department is (757) 385-4681. Certain Elected Officials The City operates under the Council -Manager form of government as established by its City Charter. There is an 11 -member City Council vested with local legislative powers. Each member of the City Council is elected on an "at large" basis; however, seven seats must be filled by individuals who reside in the seven residence districts of the City. The City Charter was amended in 1995 to provide that the City's seven boroughs would be replaced by these approximately equally populated residence districts. There is no district residency requirement for the remaining four seats. The Mayor is elected by the voters and occupies one of these four seats. The City Council elects a Vice -Mayor from among its members. All members of the City Council are elected for four-year terms. The City Manager is the administrative head of the municipal government and carries out the policies of the City Council. The City Manager is appointed by the City Council and serves at the pleasure of the City Council. The City Council also appoints members to certain boards, commissions, and authorities as it deems necessary to the operation of the City. 12 School Board The School Board is made up of 11 members. Seven seats must be filled on the School Board by individuals who reside in the seven respective residence districts of the City but each of the eleven elected School Board members are elected by the voters of the City at large. The School Board members serve four-year terms. The School Board exercises all of the powers conferred and performs all of the duties imposed upon them by general law. Elected Officials Meyera E.

The City's main municipal complex includes eight general administrative buildings, a school administration building, a public safety building, a city jail and a judicial complex. In close proximity are a City garage complex, a highway maintenance facility, a public utilities operational maintenance facility, a waste management facility and a farmer's produce market. There are four police precincts, one Law Enforcement Training Academy, 19 fire stations, one fire/emergency medical services training center, one central library together with eight area libraries and two satellite library facilities, 203 developed city parks, and 90 elementary and secondary schools located throughout the City. Some of the other major facilities provided by the City include a convention center, the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center, six recreational centers, a tennis complex, five municipal golf courses, a 6,000 seat multipurpose sports stadium and an amphitheater, which books approximately 40 entertainment events per year. The City provides a comprehensive range of public services characteristic of its position as the most populous city in the Commonwealth. 16 General Overview of Governmental Organization and Selected Functions Over the last sixteen years, the City government structure has evolved to respond to the challenges of increased demand for quality service, infrastructure needs, potential reductions in state and federal funding and a slowdown in population and revenue growth. In 1991, a Management Leadership Team ("MLT") was established to assist the City Manager with identifying and resolving organizational issues. The MLT continues to evolve to meet the changing needs of the community and the organization. The MLT includes the City Manager, the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief of Staff, the Chief Development Officer and the Chief of Finance and Technology. The MLT oversees the integration and alignment of the organization toward City Council's vision and annual goals. In 1995, the City created Strategic Issue Teams to focus on City Council's vision and direction. Six business areas were identified: Economic Vitality, Safe Community, Quality Physical Environment, Quality Education for Lifelong Learning, Cultural and Recreational Opportunities and Family and Youth Opportunities. A seventh area was identified by City Council in 2002 and named Quality Organization. These Strategic Issue Teams focus on the government organization as a quality -driven service provider delivering cost-effective services. As a result of the planning by the Strategic Issue Teams, "Community for a Lifetime: A Strategy to Achieve City Council's Vision for the Future" was published in August 1998 and outlined the organization's long-range goals. In October 2002, City Staff developed a "3 -Year Plan" entitled "From Vision to Reality." This plan brings together the strategic direction and City Council's annual priorities. In 2004, staff updated the original strategies based on City Council direction. In April 1999, the City was recognized for its efforts by receiving the Medallion Award from the 1998 U.S. Senate Productivity and Quality Award in the public sector category for the Commonwealth. In 2000, the City was rated one of the five best -managed cities in the nation in a Syracuse University/Governing Magazine research study. The Reason Public Policy Institute ranked the City the eighth most efficiently run largest city in the nation (2001). In 2003, USA Weekend named the City the best place to live. In 2004, the National Policy Research Council ranked the City fourth for the quality of local government, 13th for public safety, 16th for business climate and 20th for health and welfare in its "America's Best Cities and States" report. In 2006, Money Magazine ranked the city as "Among the ten best big cities in America". Functional Departments The Department of Agriculture provides educational and resource services in agriculture, home economics, money management, 4-H, and community resource development. The department has three major divisions. The Virginia Beach Cooperative Extension Office offers educational programs and technical information on agriculture, horticulture, and money management. The Agriculture Reserve Program (ARP) is a land preservation program. The goal of the ARP is to promote and enhance agriculture as an important local industry that is part of a diverse local economy by purchasing development rights over a resource base of farmland. The Farmer's Market provides a venue for the sale of goods and products of local farmers and craftsmen and for the provision of rural heritage activities. The Department of Audit Services. On December 11, 2007, City Council adopted an ordinance to recognize the Department of Audit Services as a Council -appointed Office. The purpose of this reorganization is to create more independence in the overseeing of the audit of financial information. The Council -appointed auditor will have all the duties of the former position and will report under a new organizational structure. Among the auditor's duties will be to conduct financial and performance audits 18 of City departments, offices, boards, activities, agencies, programs and systems. Those audits will focus on efficiencies and the adequacy of internal controls, and all audits will be conducted in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. The City Auditor also will operate a fraud, waste and abuse hotline and will oversee and coordinate investigations of suspected fraudulent activity. A Council -appointed Audit Committee consisting of Council members, a citizen Certified Public Accountant, and two other citizen members with a background in finance, accounting, and/or auditing will review the Auditor's audit schedule and audit reports, which will then be forwarded to City Council and be made available for public inspection. City Council has solicited applications for the position of City Auditor, and the transition to a City Council -appointed Auditor will occur upon the selection of the new appointee, which will likely occur on or before April 1, 2008. The function of the Department of Communications and Information Technology is the processing and electronic storage of information used in the daily business of the City. The department collects, organizes and disseminates information to all City departments, City agencies, and the public school system. It also provides consulting services in related areas to municipal users to assist them in formulating goals, objectives and long-range plans. The department manages school and City video production services and facilities and provides information to the community on municipal government and the public school system through daily cablecasting of programs on the City's Municipal Cable Access Television Station, Channels 47 and 48. The department's services center around eleven main operational areas — applications support, system support, operations support, telecommunications, video services, emergency communications, geo-spatial information services, information security and privacy, public information, City/school printing, and mail and business center. The Convention and Visitors Bureau coordinates the advertising and promotion of tourist activities and is responsible for bringing meetings, conferences, and conventions of large groups to Virginia Beach. The department operates a Visitor Information Center and opened the first phase of the new Virginia Beach Convention Center in August 2005 and the final phase in January 2008. Approximately 2.7 million tourists and conventioneers visited Virginia Beach in calendar year 2006, spending an estimated $857 million and generating over $73.2 million in tax revenues.

Specifically exempt from the sales tax under Sections 58.1-600 et seq. of the Virginia Retail Sales and Use Tax Act are sales of alcoholic beverages in government stores, sales of certain motor vehicles, trailers and semitrailers, mobile homes, and travel trailers, and sales of certain motor vehicle fuels. Also, the figures do not include the significant amount of non-taxable sales on military bases in the City. As shown in the table, taxable retail sales have increased by an average of approximately 49% over the last ten years.

(1) In 2006 the Virginia Department of Taxation changed its methodology for calculating taxable retail sales. Years prior to 2006 were not adjusted. (2) Through the third quarter of 2007. Tourism and Conventions In calendar year 2006, tourism results continued to reflect a strong industry performance. Over 2.8 million visitors arrived in the City in 2006, resulting in an increase in spending of 7.2% over 2005. Visitor expenditures generated $75.6 million in direct City revenue. Hotel occupancy remained steady in 2006 at 61.3%. The synergy of the Atlantic Avenue Beautification project, the hurricane protection project, the public safety efforts and entertainment programs have allowed hotel revenues to increase by 81.6% from 1996 to 2006. Other key projects such as the 19th Street Corridor, Rudee Loop Development, an Entertainment District and major Headquarter Hotels such as the 31st Street project are intended to continue the forward momentum of the tourism industry. The Convention Marketing and Sports Marketing Divisions continued to exceed booking goals, with fiscal year 2006 bookings totaling 192 future bookings extending through 2012. These bookings represent a total of over 175,000 room nights with an economic impact of approximately $144 million in direct spending. Over 60% of this business will use space at the new Convention Center for some or all of their meeting needs. The tourism industry created over 11,000 jobs in the City to serve the many visitors during the peak and shoulder season; approximately 80% of these visitors are repeat customers. In calendar year 2007 visitor inquiries exceeded the 3 million mark for the first time. Early indications show another year of strong industry performance. Strategic product development such as the 32 Rock'N'Roll Half Marathon, the Redskin Beach Blitz, and the Culinary Tourism Week helped to further Council's goal of a year-round resort destination. A complete report for tourism 2007 is prepared by Old Dominion University in April. The City completed the construction of its new Convention Center as scheduled in January 2007. The $206 million 516,000 square foot facility includes the following: 150,000 square foot Exhibition Hall, 31,000 square foot ballroom, 29,000 square feet of meeting space and 2,230 parking spaces. This is three times the size of the former convention center. The new Convention Center is located on the same site as the City's former facility. In the Convention Center's first year of operation 413 events were hosted, with 477,782 attendees and direct spending of $49 million. The City and the City of Virginia Beach Development Authority entered into a public/private investment partnership for a Hilton Resort Hotel and Conference Center and a public parking complex at 31st Street on the oceanfront. The hotel, which opened in the spring of 2005, is a 22 -story luxury hotel with 300 rooms. An adjacent public parking garage contains 970 spaces. The parking facility was fmanced with public facility revenue bonds. Tourism and convention activity generate tax revenue for the City, particularly in the form of a hotel room and meal tax and a restaurant tax, as illustrated in the table below. As shown in the table, since Fiscal Year 2002, hotel room and meal tax and restaurant tax receipts have increased by an average of approximately 8.78% per year. HOTEL ROOM AND MEAL TAX AND RESTAURANT TAX RECEIPTS FISCAL YEARS 1997 THROUGH 2007 Fiscal Year Total Tax Receipts 1997 $30,512,485 1998 32,475,690 1999 33,740,422 2000 35,712,011 2001 37,114,658 2002 45,631,284(1) 2003 52,046,894 2004 57,248,370 2005 60,741,520 2006 66,007,760 2007 69,359,924 (1) The meal tax was increased from four and one-half to five and one-half percent, effective July 1, 2001, and the hotel room tax was increased from five and one-half percent to eight percent, effective November 1, 2001.

Oceana Naval Air Station and Oceana Naval Air Station Dam Neck Annex. Oceana Naval Air Station ("NAS Oceana") is the United States Navy's largest East Coast "Master Jet Base." NAS Oceana is home to some 304 aircraft with 18 squadrons of F/A-18 Homets and Super Homets 33 fighter/attack aircraft and one DC -9 Skytrain II squadron. NAS Oceana is the largest employer in Virginia Beach with a $1.3 billion economic impact which has 8,548 active duty personnel and 2,206 civilian employees and a gross payroll estimate of over $761 million. NAS Oceana Dam Neck Annex's primary mission is to provide training in the operation and employment of combat direction and control systems. Dam Neck Annex provides the highest quality, most up-to-date training in aviation maintenance, administration and management, survival, evasion, resistance and escape training and conventional weapons training. Dam Neck Annex has an estimated annual payroll of $416 million for 4,088 active duty personnel and 1,490 civilians. The combined Oceana Air Station and Dam Neck Annex is the largest employer in the City with a combined estimated payroll of over $1.18 billion for over 16,332 military and civilian employees. The contracts, goods and services generated by the combined bases are estimated to be $400 million, making Oceana an economic engine of over $1.5 billion. The federal Base Realignment and Closure ("BRAC") Commission was formed pursuant to Public Law 101-510 to conduct an independent review of the recommendations and analysis of the Secretary of Defense and provide the President of the United States with its recommendations on the timely closure and realignment of military installations in the United States. Although the 2005 decision of the BRAC Commission recommending realignment of NAS Oceana by relocating the Master Jet Base to Cecil Field in Jacksonville, Florida is moot, the City of Virginia Beach remains committed to the Air Installations Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ) program it implemented in an effort to keep Virginia Beach as the home of the Navy's East Coast Master Jet Base. That program includes the following elements: • Land Use Component o The Accident Potential Zone 1 (APZ-1)/Clear Zone Ordinance, prohibiting all new development in APZ-land the Clear Zone that is deemed incompatible with military operations arising out of NAS Oceana. The Ordinance prevented an estimated 909 new dwelling units and 417 new incompatible business units from being constructed in APZ-1 and Clear Zones. o The AICUZ Overlay Ordinance, which establishes a policy limiting discretionary development (i.e., development requiring specific approval of the City Council through a rezoning or conditional use permit) in Oceana's AICUZ. While the original Ordinance applied only in Noise Zones of greater than 70 dB DNL (day -night weighted average sound level), the Ordinance was amended on January 8, 2007 to include Noise Zones of 65-70 dB DNL as well. o Restrictions limiting residential density in the Interfacility Traffic Area (ITA), the land generally underlying the flight path between NAS Oceana and NALF Fentress and an area of special concern to the Navy, to one dwelling unit per 20 acres of developable property. o A Memorandum of Understanding between the City and NAS Oceana that formally establishes, for the first time, a process and set of principles by which the Navy and City jointly review discretionary development applications at an early stage early in order to determine and report to the Planning Commission and City Council whether the applications meet the requirements of the City's AICUZ Overlay Ordinance. • Acquisition Component o The APZ-1/Clear Zone Use and Acquisition Plan, pursuant to which the City purchases property from willing sellers in the APZ-1 and Clear Zones in cases in which owners 34 have lost development rights under the APZ-1/Clear Zone Ordinance. While primarily used to acquire residential properties, the Plan also allows the City to purchase commercial property deemed incompatible with military operations arising out of NAS Oceana or to acquire property of owners whose business plans were frustrated by the APZ-1/Clear Zone Ordinance. To date, the City has acquired or has agreements to acquire approximately $24.2 million of property in APZ-1 and Clear Zones, comprising a reduction of 173 dwelling units and 12 commercial uses from those areas. o Purchase of property on which the right to develop an incompatible use has vested under Virginia law. o The Interfacility Traffic Area Property Acquisition Plan, under which the City purchases property in the ITA from willing sellers. The City has acquired approximately 105 acres of property in the ITA and expended approximately $3.4 million in furtherance of the ITA Acquisition program. • Roll -Back Component o Implemented the Oceana Land Use Conformity Program to identify and facilitate the development of compatible uses in APZ-1. Under this program the City gives zoning, tax and other financial incentives and grants to business owners who relocate into the affected zones. These incentives include the waiver or reduction of business license and real estate taxes and certain development -related fees. They also include funds to pay for the cost of moving operations. The program also provides similar incentives for businesses and other organizations with incompatible uses within APZ-1 to relocate to areas outside of APZ-1. • Virginia Beach officials plan to continue implementation of these programs until the City has purchased all incompatible use property in APZ-1 and the Clear Zone. The Commonwealth's Role • Using grant money, the Commonwealth matches funds appropriated by the City to support implementation of the acquisition component of the City's program. The City uses these funds to purchase property or, in some cases, development rights in the APZ-1 and Clear Zones to limit incompatible development in these areas (e.g., residential development). The City can potentially resell this property to new owners who plan to develop the property for compatible uses, such as agricultural or light industrial uses. In such cases, the City would return any State funds used for the original purchase. Little Creek Naval Amphibious Base. The Little Creek Naval Amphibious Base, the largest base of its kind in the world, is the major operating base for the amphibious forces of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. Little Creek's mission is to provide continuously improving support and services to operating forces and shore commands. Little Creek has 9,564 active duty personnel and 2,772 civilian employees with an annual payroll of $623 million. Fort Story Army Base. Fort Story is an Army base established as a coast artillery post in 1917. Fort Story is now a substation of Fort Eustis located in Newport News, Virginia. Fort Story is home to the 1 lth Transportation Battalion and is also utilized by Navy and Marine tenants as a periodic training site. The Coast Guard also maintains a presence at the base. Fort Story has 1,120 active duty military employees and 400 civilian employees and an annual payroll of $93.5 million.

One of the premier hospitals in the region, Sentara Virginia Beach General, underwent major renovations to improve services to its patients. The 274 -bed acute-care facility features trauma services 24/7, a heart center, stroke center, cancer center, and many other health care services. Sentara Bayside Hospital is a 158 -bed acute care facility with a state-of-the-art critical care unit. Sentara plans a third acute-care hospital in the new health care campus in southern Virginia Beach. This new center presently has 24/7 emergency care and a cancer center along with medical office buildings. Bon Secours Health Systems, Inc. opened a health center in the City in the summer of 2007. Bon Secours' vision includes an 80,000 square foot ambulatory care building and a healthcare center anchored by a 90 -bed hospital. In addition, there are 19 emergency centers for medical assistance throughout the City. Approximately 1,500 doctors utilize the medical facilities in the City and 500 dentists practice in the City. Agribusiness In 2007, the economic impact of the agricultural community was $102.7 million, based on product valued at $32.1 million. Both total value of agricultural products and economic impact increased by 17% over 2006. There are approximately 140 farms in the City with approximately 29,000 acres of land under cultivation. For 2007 higher crop prices had a positive impact on farm income and overall livestock production and income was relatively stable. Education Available within the City is a wide variety of educational facilities and programs, including public elementary, junior and senior high schools, private and parochial schools, and eight higher educational facilities. In terms of public enrollment, the City's public school system is the largest city school system in the Commonwealth.

The $23 million center is the first of its kind in the Commonwealth and received state funding of $10 million with the City providing the remaining funds. 38 SECTION FOUR: CITY INDEBTEDNESS AND CAPITAL PLAN Limitations on Incurrence of Debt Pursuant to the Constitution of Virginia (the "Constitution") and the Public Finance Act of 1991, Chapter 26, Title 15.2, Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended, a city in Virginia is authorized to issue bonds and notes secured by a pledge of its full faith and credit and unlimited taxing power. The Constitution and the Public Finance Act of 1991 also limit the indebtedness which may be incurred by cities to 10 percent of the assessed valuation of real estate subject to local taxation. There is no requirement in the Constitution or the Code of Virginia that the issuance of general obligation bonds of the City be subject to approval of the qualified voters of the City at referendum. As of June 30, 2007, the total assessed value of real property in the City was $46,667,282,975 which translates into a debt limit of $4,666,728,298. The City's net obligations subject to debt limitations as of June 30, 2007, totaled $596,810,346 and represented 12.79% of this limit. The City Charter further limits the City's power to create debt. It provides that no bonds or notes (other than refunding bonds, revenue anticipation notes, revenue bonds, and other obligations excluded from the City's debt limit under Section 10(a) of Article VII of the Constitution) shall be issued until their issuance has been authorized by a majority of the qualified voters of the City voting in an election on the question. The City Charter further provides, however, that the City Council may authorize bonds or notes without an election in any calendar year in such amounts as shall not increase the total indebtedness of the City, as determined in the manner set forth in Section 10(a) of Article VII of the Constitution, by more than $10,000,000 above the amount of such indebtedness at the beginning of such calendar year. For purposes of computing the annual limitation on the amount of bonds or other obligations that may be issued without an election, authorized and unissued bonds or other obligations which could have been issued without an election on December 31 in the year they were authorized may be issued in a subsequent year without affecting the annual limitation for such subsequent year. In addition, refunding bonds shall not be included for purposes of determining the amount of bonds or other obligations that may be issued without an election in any calendar year. Contractual obligations of the City other than bonds and notes are not included with the annual limitations described herein. Debt Management Policies The City has developed a series of Debt Management Policies to provide a functional tool for debt management and capital planning. The policies reiterate the City's commitment to principles such as rapid principal retirement, maintaining sufficient working capital to avoid the use of short-term borrowing for operating purposes, and the use of self-supporting or revenue -supported debt where appropriate. The policies also establish the following "target" levels for these key debt ratios: Overall Net Debt To Estimated Full Market Value. This ratio indicates the relationship between the City's debt and the taxable value of property in the City. It is an important indicator of the City's ability to repay its tax -supported debt, since property taxes are a major revenue source. A small ratio indicates that the City will be better able to withstand economic downturns. It is the City's policy that the computed value of this ratio should not exceed 3.5 percent of estimated full market value. 39 Overall Net Debt Per Capita. This ratio indicates the per capita debt burden and is a general indication of the City's debt burden. A smaller ratio indicates a lighter burden. It is the City's policy that the computed value of this ratio should not exceed $2,400 per capita. Debt Per Capita To Per Capita Personal Income. This ratio is a measure of the capacity of citizens to finance tax -supported debt. A low ratio means that taxes required to repay debt represent a smaller portion of the average citizen's income. It is the City's policy that debt per capita should not exceed 6.5 percent of per capita income. Annual Debt Service To General Government Expenditures. This ratio measures the City's ability to repay debt without hampering other City services. A small ratio indicates a lesser burden on the City's operating budget. This computation presently has a guideline of 10 percent. In addition, the City staff monitors the Assessed Value Per Capita. This ratio reflects the strength of the City's tax base and the City's ability to finance tax -supported debt. The table below entitled Key Debt Ratios includes this debt -load indicator. The City's debt load targets are evaluated periodically and are appropriately adjusted over time, taking into account the City's prospective debt issuances and the expectations and comparative standards of both the nationally recognized rating agencies and the financial community. While the City's general obligation debt load may exceed the City's debt load targets from time to time, the City anticipates that its actual debt load ratios generally will fall within the City's debt load targets over time.

Does not include capital leases, Certificates of Participation or other non -general obligation indebtedness. (2) Includes new issue of $90,000,000 General Obligation Bonds Series 2008. Water and Sewer System Debt Pursuant to Article VII, Sec. 10(a)(3) of the Constitution of Virginia, the City has issued water and sewer revenue bonds which are secured solely by the net revenues of the water and sewer system. As of March 1, 2008, $127,745,052 of these bonds were outstanding. Storm Water Utility System Debt The City has issued two types of securities to finance capital improvements to its storm water utility system: (1) Prior to 1995, the City issued general obligation public improvement bonds that were not secured by a pledge of the net revenues of the storm water utility system. As of March 1, 2008, $2,406,137 of these bonds were outstanding. (2) Pursuant to Article VII, Sec. 10(a)(3) of the Constitution of Virginia, the City has issued storm water utility revenue bonds which are secured solely by the net revenues of the storm water utility system. As of March 1, 2008, $8,205,000 of these bonds were outstanding. It is the City's policy to service all debt issued for storm water purposes by revenues from the storm water utility system. Agricultural Reserve Program On May 9, 1995, City Council adopted an ordinance establishing the Agricultural Reserve Program ("ARP"). The primary purpose of the ordinance is to promote and encourage the preservation of farmland in the rural southern portion of the City. Through ARP, the City acquires development rights in designated areas within the southern portion of the City through the purchase of agricultural land preservation easements. Landowners who meet certain eligibility criteria may sell an easement to the City while holding fee simple title to the land and continuing to farm. The City acquires these development rights by executing installment purchase agreements with the landowners. 45 These agreements provide for the payment of the principal balance of the agreement in a single installment due approximately twenty-five years after execution of the agreement. Interest on the unpaid principal balance is payable semi-annually. On May 9, 1995, the City Council originally dedicated a one and one-half cent increase in the real estate tax to finance the program; on May 11, 2004, the City Council reduced this amount to one cent; and on May 9, 2006, the City Council further reduced this amount to 9/10ths of one cent. These obligations constitute indebtedness within the meaning of Article VII, Section 10 of the Virginia Constitution and will be general obligations of the City, pledging the full faith and credit and unlimited taxing power of the City. By policy, interest and principal payments will be paid from a dedicated portion of real estate taxes. Principal payments will be made from maturing zero coupon Treasury securities purchased from the dedicated portion of real estate taxes. As of March 1, 2008, 64 installment purchase agreements totaling 7,261 acres at a total purchase price of $24,730,932 have been executed. City Council has approved 3 additional applications totaling approximately 329 acres with a total approved purchase price of $3,427,120. These are expected to close in the next few months. Ten additional applications totaling 680 acres are being processed by the City, valued at approximately $8,160,960. Tax Increment Financing The City is one of the first localities in the Commonwealth to use Tax Increment Financing ("TIF") as a means of fmancing certain capital projects, usually involving one or more private or public partners. Tax Increment Financing is authorized under Sections 58.1-3245 through 58.1-3245.5 of the Code of Virginia, originally enacted in 1988. The City has established TIF districts to fund its share of three investment partnerships: the Lynnhaven Mall Expansion, the Sandbridge Beach Restoration Program and the Town Center of Virginia Beach. Lynnhaven Mall Expansion: The area of the City around Lynnhaven Mall was established as a T1F district by ordinance approved by City Council on June 9, 1998. The expansion of one of the largest shopping malls in Virginia accommodated several upscale stores, a new entertainment complex and a themed restaurant. The City is committing $11.5 million in future real estate taxes for a parking facility and related improvements to leverage an approximately $100 million in additional private investment. The expansion increased the mall by 200,000 square feet, which is equivalent to one-third its original size. The City benefits from increased retail, restaurant, admission and business license and property taxes. As of June 30, 2007, $10,649,820 has been collected in the Lynnhaven Mall TIF Special Revenue Fund. Under the agreement with the developer, the City will provide certain TIF revenues to the developer, if available, but is not responsible for the issuance of any debt. Sandbridge Beach Restoration Program: The Sandbridge area of the City was established as a TIF district by ordinance approved by City Council on December 1, 1998. An important real estate and aesthetic asset to the City, this area has long battled sand erosion. The City continues to pursue a multi - front strategy of funding sand replenishment, including seeking federal funds, using local funds, and establishing a Special Service District. The use of TIF is another method to ensure stability to this area and to ensure that the primary beneficiaries of the program fund the bulk of the improvements. As of June 30, 2007, $28,848,431 in TIF revenues have been collected for sand replenishment, of which $17.8 million was declared excess and returned to the General Fund in FY06 and FY07. The Town Center of Virginia Beach: The southem part of the Pembroke area of the City was established as a TIF district by ordinance approved by City Council on November 23, 1999. The district is called Central Business District -South. When fully developed, the 31 -acre core area will feature 46 "Class -A" high-rise office space, upscale retail space, a hotel, restaurants and upscale residential apartments, all within a `village green" park setting. The Town Center is supported by free public parking in several enclosed parking garages set within the center. The City has committed approximately $16 million to provide the public infrastructure and over $68 million to pay for the parking garages and other public components. In addition, the City has funded $35 million of the $46.7 million Performing Arts Center. The City's investment leverages over $300 million of private sector investment. The City benefits from increased personal property, retail, admissions, restaurant, utility and business license taxes. The Virginia Beach Development Authority ("VBDA") issued on June 14, 2002 its $23,855,000 Revenue bonds (taxable and tax-exempt) to acquire a public parking garage in Town Center. On September 9, 2003, the VBDA issued $165,000,000 Public Facility Revenue Bonds, with a portion of the proceeds being used for the construction of two parking garages in Town Center. On May 1, 2005, VBDA issued $103,900,000 of Public Facility Revenue Bonds to fund various City projects and VEDA initiatives. On June 30, 2007, the VBDA issued an additional $100,865,000 of Public Facility Revenue Bonds (taxable and tax-exempt) to fund various City projects and VBDA initiatives. It is expected that real estate tax revenues generated in the Town Center TIF District, along with certain other tax revenues, will be sufficient to pay the debt service on these VBDA bond issues. If such revenues are insufficient, the City may impose an increased real estate tax in the special tax district at Town Center to recover any shortfall. The tax increment revenues and special taxes are not pledged to the payment of the VBDA bonds. As of June 30, 2007, $11,621,461 in TIF revenues have been collected in the Town Center Special Revenue Fund. See the section entitled "Other Long -Term Obligations" below. Assets Acquired and Financed Under Capital Leases Non -water and sewer capital assets consisting of various small equipment are capital assets acquired under capital leases on which the City, as of June 30, 2006, had principal outstanding of $4,711. In addition, as of March 1, 2008, the City had outstanding $5,155,000 Refunding Certificates of Participation, Series of 1993. The City has issued Certificates of Participation to finance and refmance the acquisition of real property to expand the City's Municipal Center Complex and to construct a Judicial Center Complex. These leases contain non -appropriation clauses and therefore are not considered debt for purposes of calculating obligations subject to the constitutional debt limit. The estimated scheduled capital lease payments on non -water and sewer lease obligations for the Fiscal Years ending June 30 are as follows: Capital Certificates of Lease Participation Total 2008 $ 278,370 $ 278,370 2009 2,720,600 2,720,600 2010 2,716,415 2,716,415 Source: City Department of Finance. Other Long -Term Obligations On February 24, 1998, the City of Virginia Beach Development Authority issued $9,800,000 Lease Revenue Bonds payable solely from certain rental payments made by the City under an operating lease. The obligation of the City to make rental payments is subject to annual General Fund appropriations by the City Council. The maximum annual rent payment under the lease is $862,212. The Lease Revenue Bonds financed the costs of acquiring and constructing a Social Services Building to be 47 used by the City to house its Social Services Department. Principal outstanding on this agreement as of March 1, 2008, is $5,985,000. On June 14, 2002, the City of Virginia Beach Development Authority issued its $20,815,000 Public Facility Revenue Bonds, Series 2002A, and its $3,040,000 Taxable Public Facility Revenue Bonds, Series 2002B, to finance the acquisition of a public parking facility and land for a public plaza in the Town Center development. These bonds are limited obligations of the Authority, payable solely from certain payments made by the City pursuant to a Support Agreement between the Authority and the City. The obligation of the City to make such payments is subject to appropriation by the City Council of funds sufficient for such purpose. Principal outstanding on these bonds as of March 1, 2008, is $23,565,000. On September 24, 2003, on June 7, 2005, and on June 26, 2007, the Authority issued the public facility revenue bonds for various capital improvements in the City. These improvements included the Convention Center Replacement, the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Museum parking, the Pavilion Theater Replacement, Open Space Site Acquisition programs, 31st Street Parking Garage and two parking garages at the Town Center, among other projects. The aggregate cost of the projects is estimated to be approximately $438.5 million with the City currently fmancing approximately $368.4 million of these costs through the Authority's issuance of these public facility revenue bonds. Again, the security for these bonds is a Support Agreement between the City and the Authority in which the City will make certain payments to the Authority that will be sufficient to pay debt service on these bonds. Principal outstanding on these bonds as of March 1, 2008, is $338,790,000. On January 14, 2004, the City executed an installment purchase agreement with Williams Farm LLLP for the acquisition of the Williams Farm property as part of the City's open space program. The purchase price was $5 million with a down payment of $750,000 at the time of settlement. The remaining balance, $4,250,000, is payable in equal semi-annual installments of $212,500 on each June 1 and December 1, beginning June 1, 2004, and ending December 1, 2013. The outstanding principal balance as of March 1, 2008, is $2,550,000. Impacts of Future Economic Development and Transportation Legislation on City Debt The City, over a number of years, has been developing a strategy for the development and redevelopment of certain areas in the City that will be a critical element of the City's future economic vitality. Targeted areas include the further development of the oceanfront to complement the recently completed convention center, including, for example, a convention center hotel and entertainment venues. Other targeted development involves public investment in transportation initiatives in the City that will also likely require additional debt. The use of public-private partnerships is a critical piece in this potential development. One vehicle for this debt could include the creation of Community Development Authorities (known as "CDAs") which would issue the debt. Such debt might be payable from special taxes levied in the development, special assessments levied in the development, voluntary contributions from the City or other interested parties, or revenues generated in an overlaying TIF District, as described above. In any case the public portion of these yet unnamed projects could involve additional debt not yet identified in the City's Capital Improvement Program. Additionally, in 2007 the Virginia General Assembly adopted a state-wide transportation plan to alleviate overcrowded roads throughout the Commonwealth. For the Hampton Roads area, the regional transportation plan included the creation of a Hampton Roads Transportation Authority ("HRTA") to impose and collect certain tolls and fees for the issuance of debt for six major transportation projects in the area. The cities of Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk, Poquoson, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Virginia Beach, and Williamsburg, and the counties of Isle of Wight, James City, and York are voting members of the HRTA. The HRTA is authorized to undertake the following projects in Hampton Roads: 48 the Third Crossing (Phase I- widening I-664 from Bowers Hill to Hampton and Phase II- a bridge -tunnel running between the Monitor -Merrimac Memorial Bridge Tunnel and I-564 in Norfolk; a connector traversing Craney Island, running between the above bridge -tunnel and the Western Freeway); the Southeastern Parkway/ Dominion Boulevard; the Midtown Tunnel/ Martin Luther King Freeway Extension; U.S. Route 460; Widening I-64 (on the Peninsula) to Route 199; and Widening I-64 (on the Southside, including the High -Rise Bridge) from Battlefield Boulevard to Bowers Hill. At its August 10, 2007 meeting, the HRTA approved the imposition of the following fees and taxes as outlined in HB 3202: • A $10 Vehicle Registration Fee • A 1% Initial Vehicle Registration Fee • A $10 Vehicle Safety Inspection Fee • A 5% Sales and Use Tax on Automotive Repairs • A $0.40/$100 of Value Grantor's Tax on Real Estate Sales • A 2% Motor Vehicle Fuels Tax • A 2% Local Rental Car Tax Due to the public response to the HRTA fees and taxes, on October 17, 2007 the Legislative Committee of the HRTA recommended eliminating the $10 Vehicle Inspection Fee, the 5% tax on automobile repairs, the grantor's tax of 40 cents per $100 of assessed value, and the $10 annual registration fee. The HRTA forwarded this recommendation to the General Assembly for consideration during the current session. While HB 3202 permitted the HRTA to begin collecting the fees and taxes on January 1, 2008, as a result of public comments, the HRTA voted to defer the impositions of these fees and taxes until April 1, 2008 to afford the General Assembly the opportunity to respond to public sentiment. The nature and scope of any project to be undertaken by the HRTA is expected to be based upon one or more traffic and revenue control studies which the HRTA proposes to undertake in the future. Accordingly, debt, if any, issued by the HRTA is not expected for several years. The extent to which any debt issued by the HRTA could potentially impact debt of the City is yet to be determined, although the amount of debt that the HRTA will issue could be substantial. Overlapping Debt The City is autonomous from any county, town, or other political subdivision. Currently, there are no overlapping jurisdictions with debt outstanding for which City residents are liable. Short -Term Borrowing The City does not borrow on a short-term basis for working capital purposes. The City's policy is to maintain the General Fund balance at a level that provides sufficient cash flow for working capital purposes. Debt History The City has never defaulted on its general obligation bonds, water and sewer system bonds, storm water utility bonds or capital lease obligations. 49 Payment Record The City has never defaulted in the payment of either principal of or interest on any indebtedness. Comprehensive Plan The City's most recent Comprehensive Plan was adopted on December 2, 2003. Among some of the key planning policies embodied in this Plan are urban and rural growth management strategies, including the Green Line concept, economic development opportunities, transportation and other public facility improvements, care of the environment, housing, historic resource management, neighborhood preservation and community aesthetics. By adopting these key provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, the City has committed itself to advancing sound planning policies that ensure a fair and workable balance between the supply of public service delivery systems and the demand placed on those systems by existing and future land uses. The comprehensive planning policies of the City are designed to achieve enhanced and manageable land development and redevelopment within defined Strategic Growth Areas ("SGA") (north of the Green Line and the Princess Anne area, formerly called the Transition Area). The development of urban infrastructure is focused on serving future growth creating higher quality land uses, thereby expanding the City's taxable revenue base without compromising the level of service provided by the public infrastructure. Another complementary strategy provided by the Green Line and other related comprehensive planning policies is to check sprawling development. By preventing future sprawl through the designation of SGAs for appropriate urban development, the City avoids net negative fiscal impacts for related capital and operating expenses that are too often linked to such development patterns. The land use planning guidance provided by the Comprehensive Plan along with the strong public demand to live and work in Virginia Beach can continue the value of growth in Virginia Beach into the foreseeable future. In addition to adequate capacity for growth in the northern section of the City, the City's land use policies provide reasonable levels of rurally compatible growth in the southern part of the City. Special amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 2005, reinforce the City's support for the military as an integral part of the community. In addition, the Rural Preservation element of the Comprehensive Plan and the Agricultural Reserve Program, adopted by City Council in 1995, are major tools to promote the preservation of farmland and the rural way of life. The Comprehensive Plan is a dynamic instrument and City Council periodically reviews, enhances and amends the Plan when appropriate. A number of specific area planning documents have been adopted by City Council and added to the Comprehensive Plan by reference. These include the Shore Drive Corridor, the Laskin Road Corridor, the Princess Anne Corridor and a refinement of the planning policies affecting the Transition Area. Since 1971, the City Council has periodically revised and adopted the City's Master Transportation Plan, as needed, to address, in a comprehensive fashion, the need for an efficient, cost- effective and multimodal transportation system. This policy document, which is a component of the Comprehensive Plan, describes the characteristics and establishes transportation planning policies for Virginia Beach. The Plan also provides planning guidance for bikeways, scenic easements, and other similar features related to the City's major roadway system. Decisions affecting the implementation of land use and transportation policies are based, in large measure, upon the guidance provided in the City's Comprehensive Plan and Master Transportation Plan. 50 Capital Improvement Program The City's six-year Capital Improvement Program ("CIP") provides for improvements to the City's public facilities, along with the means of financing these improvements. The first year of the program constitutes the capital budget for the current fiscal year; the remaining years serve as a planning guide. The CIP time table coincides with that of the Operating Budget, and both are presented to City Council in early Spring. The approved CIP is the result of a process that balances the need for public facilities against the fiscal capability for the City to provide for these needs. It is the City's policy to fund individual capital projects of less than $250,000 through General Fund appropriations (pay-as-you-go fmancing). Fiscal Years 2007-2012 On May 15, 2007, City Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2007-2012 CIP. The new program funding for six years totaled $1,175,399,801, a 4.6% increase over the original FY2007-2012 CIP approved by City Council on May 9, 2006. The resources allocated for City improvements over the six- year period are increasing by 9.0%, for schools by 1.9%, and for Utilities by 0.8%. Approved Approved Percent FY 2007-12 FY 2007-12 Change (May 9, 2006) (May 15, 2007) City General Improvements $ 571,754,302 $ 615,285,256 9.0% School Improvement 358,285,722 365,162,822 1.9 Utilities Improvements 193,476,723 194,951,723 0.8 $1,123,516,747 $1,175,399,801 4.6% Within the six-year program the FY2008 Capital budget of $203,514,641 approved by City Council on May 15th is a decrease from FY2007 by 16.9%. Rising construction costs have delayed or eliminated some projects in the program period. Funding for some projects previously funded in the six- year CIP has been shifted to other projects. The School program cost increases have delayed or changed the scope in several projects. Utilities projects show relatively constant funding as the water and sewer and storm water programs all benefited from rate increases approved by City Council in May 2005. The additional funds have allowed construction of water and sewer projects in the early years of the program, allowing reduction in the later years. The water and sewer rehabilitation projects are being addressed through water and sewer rate increases, as shown on the table below: Water and Sanitary Sewer Rate Increases FY FY FY FY FY FY Rate/Charge 2005-06 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Water service availability charge $3.75 $4.10 $4.10 $4.10 $4.10 $4.10 per meter (charge for 5/8" meter shown) Water usage rate per 1,000 gallons $3.65 $3.70 $3.80 $3.95 $4.10 $4.10 (last reduced July 1999 & remained $3.55 until FY 2005-2006) Sanitary sewer monthly charge (for $15.92 $16.88 $17.72 $18.61 $19.54 $19.54 51 a single family residence shown) Source: City Department of Public Utilities The storm water program is designed to meet the standards of the Clean Water Act and improve the quality of the City's lakes and waterways. To fund these needs, City Council approved a three -phased fee increase in the storm water fee effective July 1, 2005. The daily fee was $0.161 effective July 1, 2005, is $0.171 effective July 1, 2006, and will be $0.181 effective July 1, 2008. This equates to an annual increase of $3.65 per year for three years and is expected to generate $13.6 million over the six- year CIP period. In addition, the Fiscal Year 2008 CIP authorizes storm water revenue bonds in the maximum amount of $2.5 million to improve and expand the storm water system. A breakdown of sources and uses for the City's six-year program is provided on the following two tables. The sources of funding for the six-year program are as follows: Amended Capital Budget Year 1 Year 2 Years Type of Financing FY 2006-07 FY 2007-08 3 thru 6 Total Local Revenue $ 37,377,406 $37,861,320 $164,904,993 $240,143,719 State Revenue 40,857,148 36,785,354 149,976,664 227,619,166 Federal Revenue 250,000 0 0 250,000 Other Revenue 3,997,779 3,104,786 8,893,700 15,996,265 Bonds/Lease Purchase 70,177,777 63,433,991 244,586,257 378,198,025 Utility Bonds 21,460,465 18,793,000 66,018,000 106,271,465 Fund Balance 57,476,124 29,558,602 36,547,064 123,581,790 Utility Fund Revenue 13,245,149 13,977,588 56,116,634 83,339,371 Total Financing - All Sources $244,841,848 $203,514,641 $727,043,312 $1,175,399,801 52 A summary of the project uses for the six-year program are as follows: Proiect Class Economic Vitality Safe Community Quality Physical Environment Cultural and Recreational Opportunities Quality Education and Lifelong Learning Family and Youth Opportunities Quality Organization Total Capital Improvement Program Amended Year 1 FY 2006-07 $ 29,631,870 14,872,139 108,170,191 16,728,275 69,874,373 700,000 4,865,000 $244,841,848 Capital Budget Year 2 Years FY 2007-08 3 thru 6 $ 20,399,821 7,912,840 98,638,025 Total $ 68,070,804 $ 118,102,495 37,974,082 60,759,061 329,651,361 536,459,577 12,430,240 50,955,149 80,113,664 62,768,715 0 1,365,000 $203,514,641 239,829,267 372,472,355 0 700,000 562,649 6,792,649 $727,043,312 81,175,399,801 Prior Year C1Ps - Actual Capital Project Expenditures The following table presents a summary of actual capital project expenditures by category for Fiscal Years 2006 and 2007.

Revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become susceptible to accrual (i.e., measurable and available). "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The City considers property taxes as available if they are collected within 45 days after year end. Expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the corresponding liabilities are incurred, if measurable (except for unmatured interest on general long- term debt which is recognized when due and paid). criteria. The following is a list of the major revenue sources which meet the "susceptible to accrual" General Property Taxes General Sales Tax Utility Taxes Hotel Taxes Restaurant Taxes Interest on Deposits and Investments Revenue from Commonwealth Revenue from Federal Government Amusement Taxes All City and School Board Component Unit Proprietary Funds are reported under the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred. Unbilled Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund accounts receivable for utility services provided through June 30 are included in the financial statements. The City operates on a July 1 through June 30 Fiscal Year. City of Virginia Beach Development Authority The Virginia Beach Development Authority initially was established for the purposes of attracting new industries and the expansion of existing industries. Over time, the Authority's powers have been expanded and now include the power to undertake fmancings for the City. In addition, the Authority is authorized to issue industrial development bonds after approval by the City Council and to purchase land to improve and sell for development. These bonds do not constitute indebtedness of the City but are secured solely by revenues from the organization on whose behalf the bonds were issued. The Authority's Commissioners are appointed by City Council. The City does not have legal title to any of the Authority's assets, nor does it have a right to the Authority's surpluses. However, in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 14, the Authority has been discretely presented in Appendix A. In February 2003, City Council approved a change to the loan amount and terms governing the City's loan to the Authority. Under this restructuring, the City extinguished the Authority's obligation to pay the existing accrued interest on this loan. The remaining principal, $6.2 million as of February 2003, was restructured into two non-interest bearing notes. Note one in the amount of $4.8 million will be payable from the net proceeds of a sale or ground lease of 31s` Street Property. Note two in the amount of $1.4 million will be secured by remaining parcels at Corporate Landing and Oceana West, payable from 20% of net proceeds from land sales. Remaining proceeds will be used to fund infrastructure and 54 strategic land acquisitions. No additional debt may be issued by the Authority without prior approval of the City Council. Hampton Roads Transportation District Commission The City's financial statements include its share of the operating cost of the regional mass transit operations of the Hampton Roads Transportation District Commission. For Fiscal Year 2007, the City's share of aforementioned operating cost was $2,593,716. City Financial Statements On July 1, 2001, the City adopted the Governmental Accounting Standards Board ("GASB") Statement No. 34, "Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments." This statement, known as the Reporting Model, provides for the most significant change in fmancial reporting for state and local governments for over twenty years. The basic financial statements include both government -wide (based upon the City as a whole) and fund fmancial statements. While the previous model emphasized fund types (the total of all funds of a particular type), in the new reporting model the focus is on either the City as a whole or major individual funds (within the fund fmancial statements). Both the government -wide and fund financial statements (within the basic financial statements), categorize primary activities as either governmental or business -type. In the government -wide Statement of Net Assets, both the governmental and business -type activities columns are presented on a consolidated basis by column and are reflected on a full accrual, and economic resources basis, which incorporates long-term assets and receivables as well as long-term debt and obligations. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. The program revenues must be directly associated with the function (public safety, public works, etc.) or a business -type activity. Program revenues include (1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and (2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported as general revenues. The City does not allocate indirect expenses. funds: Fund fmancial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary Major governmental funds are: The General Fund is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts for all fmancial resources of the City, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Revenues are derived primarily from property and other local taxes, state and federal distributions, licenses, permits, charges for service, and interest income. A significant part of the General Fund's revenues is used principally to finance the operations of the City of Virginia Beach School Board. The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the fmancial resources for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities within the City. Major proprietary funds are: 55 The Water and Sewer Fund provides water service and sanitary sewer waste collection and transmission services to Virginia Beach citizens and accounts for operations that are fmanced in a manner similar to private business enterprises. The Storm Water Fund accounts for the activities of the Storm Water Utility which charges a fee for operational and capital needs for Storm Water management in the City. Additionally, the City reports the following fund types: Special Revenue Funds account for revenue derived from specific sources that are restricted by legal and regulatory provisions to fmance specific activities. Internal Service Funds account for the financing of goods and services provided to other departments and agencies of the City or to other governmental units on a cost reimbursement basis. Fiduciary Funds are used to account for assets held by the city in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals, private organizations and other governmental units. Investment Policies and Practices The City of Virginia Beach, as a political subdivision of the Commonwealth, is limited to investments permitted by the Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended. In addition, various bond resolutions and a City Council adopted investment policy further restrict the types of allowable investment activities. The City's investment practices are generally described in footnote 7 of the City's financial statements, included in Appendix A hereto. The City Treasurer is responsible for the investment of City funds. The City Treasurer invests the City's funds using internal active management, with external trustees and trust funds taking possession of applicable investments. Within the state permitted guidelines and the adopted investment policy, the City Treasurer limits the City's investments to the State Treasurer's Local Government Investment Pool, collateralized certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, prime quality commercial paper, and prime quality "fed eligible" bankers' acceptances. The City does not invest in "derivative" securities, utilize reverse repurchase agreements, nor otherwise leverage its investment portfolio. The City matches the maturity of its investments to cash flow needs to assure cash availability as necessary. Certificate of Achievement The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada ("GFOA") awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report ("CAFR") for Fiscal Year 2006. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a governmental unit must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized Comprehensive Annual Financial Report that substantially conforms to the high standards for financial reporting as promulgated by the GFOA. The City has submitted the application and associated documentation for Fiscal Year 2007. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for one year only. The City has been awarded a Certificate of Achievement (called a Certificate of Conformance prior to 1985) for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for 27 of the past 28 years. 56 The City was also awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Distinguished Budget Presentation from the GFOA for its Fiscal Year 2006 budget. The City also received this award for 20 of the last 22 years. Budgetary Process The City Charter requires the City Manager to submit a balanced, proposed operating budget to the City Council at least 90 days before the beginning of each fiscal year which begins July 1. Each department of the City prepares its own budget request for review by the City Manager. The City Council is required to hold a public hearing on the budget at which time all interested persons have the opportunity to comment. If the proposed operating budget is not legally adopted by the City Council by June 1, the operating budget submitted by the City Manager will have full force and effect as if it had been adopted by the City Council. The School budget is prepared by the School Board, transmitted to the City Manager for review, and then submitted to the City Council for consideration as part of the City's general operating budget. Of the General Fund revenues estimated to be generated from the real estate, personal property, general sales, utility, cellular telephone, business license taxes, and cable television franchise fees, 51.3 percent is allocated to the School Board to fund the local share of the School Board's operating budget, local debt service costs and pay-as-you-go capital improvements. The remaining 48.7 percent of such revenues are allocated to the City. If the School Board determines that additional funding is needed, the School Board Chairman makes a formal written request to the City Council, and the School Board holds a public hearing on the issue. The City Manager is authorized to transfer appropriations up to a maximum of $100,000. Transfers in excess of $100,000 require City Council approval. Transfers between $25,000 to $100,000 are reported to City Council on a monthly basis. Additional appropriations must be offset by additional estimated revenues and/or a transfer from the proper undesignated fund balance and require a public hearing if the amount of the additional appropriation exceeds one percent of the total revenue in the approved budget. Unexpended appropriations (except for the Capital Projects, Grant, and Grants Consolidated Funds) lapse and are closed to the proper fund balance at the end of each fiscal year. The appropriation for the subsequent fiscal year is increased by the amount necessary to satisfy the outstanding encumbrances at June 30 of each fiscal year. In the instance of schools, if at the end of the fiscal year, the actual revenues generated from the revenues designated for schools exceed the revenues that were estimated, the amount of excess revenues are shared by the City and the School Board in the same proportion that estimated revenues were shared, provided, however, that such excess revenues will only be shared after the necessary resources for the Fund Balance Reserve Policy have been determined and fulfilled. Conversely, if revenues fall below the estimates, the School Board will be expected to reduce expenditures up to 51.3 percent of the anticipated shortfall. The operating budget includes a portion of the funding for the Capital Improvement Program ("CIP"). General appropriations used to fmance capital projects are shown both in the operating budget and in the CIP. The Department of Management Services annually prepares a six-year CIP. Because activities of capital projects often go beyond a fiscal year period, the accounting, encumbering, and controlling of the funds are based upon the length of project activities. Similarly, federal and state grants in the Grants and Grants Consolidated Funds are budgeted separately from the operating budget because these revenues do not necessarily coincide with the City's fiscal year. 57 Each capital lease obligation has a non -appropriation clause which generally states that each fiscal year's lease payments are subject to City Council approval. These capital lease appropriations are offset by an equal amount of estimated revenue (other financing sources), and are functionally budgeted in the General Debt Service Fund. Operating Budget - Fiscal Year 2008 On March 28, 2006, the City Manager presented to City Council the biennial Resource Management Plan for Fiscal Years 2007 and 2008. This was the first time the City Manager had presented a formal biennial budget providing City Council with the opportunity to make planning decisions for the next two fiscal years. City Council adopted the Resource Management Plan on May 9, 2006, thereby adopting the Fiscal Year 2007 budget and approving the Fiscal Year 2008 budget for planning purposes. On March 27, 2007, the City Manager presented to City Council proposed updates to the Fiscal Year 2008 budget. City Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2008 budget on May 15, 2007. The approved budget for Fiscal Year 2008 of $1,721,976,371 represents a 4.8% increase over the Fiscal Year 2007 adjusted budget. Highlights of the Fiscal Year 2008 budget are listed below: • The City has experienced continued growth in real estate assessment value, which lead City Council to reduce the real estate tax rate by 10 cents in order to reduce the tax burden on residents. This resulted in a rate of $0.89 per $100 of assessed value. Despite the rate decrease, real estate tax revenue is projected to increase by 6.4%. • There is an increase of 72.7 City positions and a reduction of 46.1 School positions for Fiscal Year 2008. • The budget includes a 1.5% general salary increase and a 2.0% merit increase for eligible City employees, and a 3.75% increase in compensation for School's instructional employees and a 5% increase for non -instructional employees. • The City expanded the Tax Relief for the Elderly and Disabled Program by raising the salary ceiling to $62,000, which will result in $14 million of tax relief annually. • Additional funding is included for the opening of the Sandler Center for the Performing Arts and a new school in the Bayside area. • An additional allocation of $5 million is included to address the City and School healthcare liability (GASB 45). Both City and Schools increased the health care contribution for employees from $5,225 to $5,750, effective January 1, 2008. • Due to increased electrical costs, an additional $3.7 million is included for City and School operations. 58 Cateeories City Operations School Operations Capital Projects Debt Service ADOPTED FISCAL YEAR 2008 OPERATING BUDGET FY 2006-07 Adiusted $ 680,725,530 773,944,304 64,729,327 124,202,936 FY 2007-08 Approved (Mav 9, 2006) $ 721,159,869 816,531,802 60,486,357 136,717,773 FY 2007-08 Amended % Increase from (Mav 15, 2007) $ 719,291,231 806,403,408 61,851,186 134,430,546 FY 2007 Adiusted 5.7% 4.2 -4.4 8.2 $1,643,602,097 $1,734,895,801 $1,721,976,371 4.8% 59 SUMMARY OF ADJUSTED AND ADOPTED BUDGETS Three Most Recent Fiscal Years REVENUES General Property Taxes Revenue from Commonwealth Other Local Taxes Charges for Services Revenue from the Federal Govt Use of Money & Property Miscellaneous Revenue Specific Fund Reserves Permits, Fees, & Licenses Fines & Forfeitures Non -Revenue Receipts Total Revenues APPROPRIATIONS Education General Govemment Debt Service Human Services Public Works Police Public Utilities Fire Capital Projects Parks & Recreation Reserve for Contingencies(» Libraries Total Appropriations FY 2006 Adjusted Budget $ 509,351,315 445,028,880 240,233,617 143,584,120 109,801,688 9,176,288 16,337,767 15,889,853 5,839,293 5,092,414 4,007,750 $1,504,342,985 FY 2007 Adopted Budget $ 591,227,841 483,053,667 249,970,187 151,018,253 106,881,122 13,238,896 16,213,561 13,317,952 5,198,181 5,608,205 3,788,043 FY 2008 Adopted Budget $ 631,752,868 500,845,889 255,282,750 158,044,134 111,028,405 16,778,606 14,416,081 18,546,426 5,215,634 6,023,855 4,041,723 FY 2008 % of Total Change FY 2007 to FY 2008 36.69% 6.85% 29.09 3.68 14.82 2.13 9.18 4.65 6.45 3.88 0.97 26.74 0.84 -11.09 1.08 39.26 0.30 0.34 0.35 7.41 0.23 6.70 $1,639,515,908 $1,721,976,371 100.00% $ 705,740,599 202,346,009 121,422,484 94,688,159 88,412,012 74,499,647 65,019,988 37,553,655 53,473,701 37,340,113 8,141,753 15,704,865 $1,504,342,985 $ 779,249,046 214,446,295 124,202,936 101,243,424 93,762,079 79,084,177 67,414,416 39,303,087 60,068,227 39,206,672 25,040,156 16,495,393 $ 807,382,492 234,460,497 134,430,546 104,657,106 92,491,126 79,472,947 67,314,489 39,427,263 61,851,186 40,294,664 43,673,883 16,520,172 46.89% 3.61% 13.62 9.33 7.81 8.23 6.08 3.37 5.37 -1.36 4.62 0.49 3.91 -0.15 2.29 0.32 3.59 2.97 2.34 2.78 2.54 74.42 0.96 0.15 $1,639,515,908 $1,721,976,371 100.00% (1) For FY 2007, reflects undistributed merit and cost -of --living salary increases for City employees.

The largest, the General Fund, is that from which all general costs of City government are paid and to which taxes and other revenues, not specifically directed by law or administrative action to be deposited in special revenue funds, are recorded. Examples of special revenue funds are the School Operating Fund, the School Grants Fund, and the Grants Consolidated Fund. The General Fund is comprised of revenue derived from ad valorem taxes, other local taxes, licenses, fees, permits, certain revenue from the federal and state governments, interest earned on invested cash balances, and other revenues. General Fund disbursements include the costs of general City government, transfers to the School Operating Fund for local share of school costs, and transfers to the Debt Service Funds to pay principal and interest on the City's general obligation bonds for other than water and sewer purposes. 61 Operating Data Ad valorem property taxes contributed 58.7 percent of the City's General Fund revenues in Fiscal Year 2006. The City levies an ad valorem tax on the assessed value of real and personal property located within the City. Other local taxes contributed 25.3 percent of the City's General Fund revenues in Fiscal Year 2006. These include: (1) a one percent local sales tax (collected by the state and remitted to the City); (2) a tax on consumer utility bills of 20 percent each for gas, electric, water, and telephone on bills up to $15 per month for residential classes and 15 percent on the first $625 per month and 5 percent on the amount between $625 and $2,000 for industrial and commercial classes; (3) a cigarette tax of 50 cents per pack; (4) property transfer recordation taxes; (5) an automobile license fee; (6) various business, professional and occupational taxes; (7) a eight percent hotel room tax; (8) a restaurant meal tax of five and one-half percent; (9) an amusement tax of 10 percent on gross admissions for certain events; and (10) a flat rate of $1.00 added to hotel room charges to fund the Tourism Advertising Program or improvements at Sandbridge.

The City is required to levy taxes on the assessed value of real and personal property without limit as to the rate or amount to the extent necessary to pay principal of and interest on its general obligation bonds. The General Assembly is currently considering a bill that would authorize a homestead exemption in Virginia. As currently drafted, the proposed homestead exemption act would authorize localities to exempt up to 20% of a home's value from real estate taxes. Because it would require a change to the state constitution, if the General Assembly adopts and the Governor signs the bill, the matter then would be presented to the voters of the Commonwealth for approval. If the voters approve the change, localities will have the ability to provide homestead exemptions as early as July of 2009. It is unclear at this point whether the General Assembly will pass any such legislation, whether the voters of the Commonwealth will authorize the constitutional amendment, and what impact such an amendment would have on the City.

The mission of the Department is "to provide public water, including water for fire protection, and public sanitary sewer service to the urban areas of Virginia Beach." The goals are "to provide quality public service at reasonable costs and to plan, build, operate and maintain its facilities to meet community needs, environmental responsibilities and regulatory requirements." The physical property of the City water system as of June 30, 2007, included approximately 1,459 miles of transmission and distribution mains, 7,819 fire hydrants, 12 water storage facilities, and nine pumping stations (including Lake Gaston). The City water system is fully metered, with tap sizes ranging from 3 to 12 inches. As of June 30, 2007, the water system had approximately 130,647 connections, representing a .4% increase over the number reported in 2006, and a customer base of approximately 431,135 people. The City Sanitary Sewer System includes collector lines, force mains and pump stations, which are used to collect and transport wastewater to the treatment facilities operated by the Hampton Roads Sanitation District ("HRSD"), the regional treatment agency. Virginia Beach citizens receiving sanitary sewer pay the City a fee for collection and transport of wastewater and HRSD a fee for treatment of the wastewater. The City's Sanitary Sewer System consists of 401 sewer pump stations and over 1,572 miles of pipeline ranging in size from 4 inches to 36 inches in diameter. As of June 30, 2007, the number of City sewer connections was 128,220, representing a 0.5% increase over the number reported in 2006. The HRSD, established in 1940, provides wastewater treatment services for 17 cities and counties in southeastern Virginia. The HRSD operates nine major treatment facilities in Hampton Roads and four small rural treatment facilities on the Middle Peninsula, with a total treatment capacity of 231 million gallons per day ("MGD"). Two HRSD plants are located in the City. The Chesapeake -Elizabeth Plant, in operation since 1968, has an operating capacity of 24 MGD, with average annual flow estimated at 18 MGD. The 69 Atlantic Plant has an operating capacity of 36 MGD and average annual flow estimated at 30 MGD. The HRSD has a service population of about 1.6 million. HRSD reports that it is meeting all its discharge permit requirements established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. The Water Utility and Sanitary Sewer Systems are operated and maintained in good working order including repairing, rebuilding, or replacing of equipment and structures when required. In addition, the City has developed an ongoing training program to develop a staff of personnel in sufficient numbers to promote safe and technically competent operation of the water and sewer utility. The estimated depreciated value of the water and sewage property, plant and equipment was $795,205,672 as of June 30, 2007, including land and air rights.

The City's water and sewer system is operated on a self-sustaining basis, with rates and charges adjusted when necessary to assure a stream of revenues adequate to cover the costs of operations and maintenance of the system and debt service on all water and sewer system bonds. Revenues from water and sewer charges are reserved solely for the payment of water and sewer fund obligations and have not been used for any non -water or non -sewer related purpose. Water and sewer charges are maintained at a level sufficient to pay all water and sewer operating expenses and debt service. On July 1, 2005, the first of a five-year series of increases in the water and sewer charges took effect. Council adopted these series of increases on May 2005 in response to recommendations made in a January 2005 Cost of Service Study prepared by a water and sewer utility consultant. Historical water commodity rates and sanitary sewer charges for a single family residence and their effective dates are outlined below: 70 Effective Date July 1, 1983 August 1, 1987 October 1, 1987 July 1,1988 July 1, 1989 July 1, 1990 October 1, 1990 July 1, 1991 July 1, 1992 July 1, 1993 July 1, 1994 July 1, 1999 July 1, 2001 July 1, 2002 July 1, 2003 July 1, 2005 July 1, 2006 July 1, 2007 Typical Water and Sewer Bills Water Commodity Rate (Der 1,000 gallons) $1.62 1.81 1.99 2.18 2.51 2.69 2.77 2.96 3.11 3.38 3.65 3.55 3.55 3.55 3.55 3.65 3.70 3.80 Sanitary Sewer Service Charge Single Family Residence (Der month) $ 9.46 9.46 9.46 9.46 9.46 9.46 9.65 10.58 11.38 11.38 11.38 11.38 12.29 13.27 14.34 15.92 16.88 17.72 Under the City's current rate structure, a single family residence consuming 6,000 gallons for 30 days would receive a bill as follows: Water Usage; 6 x $3.70 per 1,000 gallons Minimum Service Availability Charge Total Water Sanitary Sewer Service Total Water and Sanitary Sewer Monthly Billing Current Rates $22.80 4.10 526.90 17.72 $44.62 In addition, the HRSD would charge the same residence $15.88 for wastewater treatment of 6,000 gallons during the same time period. The last HRSD rate increase was in Fiscal Year 2008. Operating Results -Water and Sewer System The City Council fixes water and sanitary sewer rates and charges such that estimated income generated by such rates and charges will cover operating expenses and debt service relating to the water and sewer system. Funds and accounts relating to the Department of Public Utilities are kept separate from other funds and accounts of the City. The Department of Public Utilities has financed the construction and acquisition of water and sewer facilities through federal and Commonwealth grant proceeds, pay-as-you-go funding and the issuance of City general obligation water and sewer bonds, double barrel water and sewer bonds (secured both by water and sewer revenues and the City's general obligation pledge) and water and sewer revenue bonds. 71 The Department is required by the City's bond resolutions, among other provisions, to establish rates sufficient to cover operations and maintenance and debt service on the general obligation water and sewer bonds and the water and sewer revenue bonds. Certain general obligation bonds issued prior to 1977 for water and sewer purposes are not subject to such covenant. It is, however, City Council policy to pay debt service on those general obligation bonds issued for the water and sewer purposes from revenues of the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund, and to set water and sewer rates accordingly. In 2002, City Council approved a set of debt management policies for the water and sewer enterprise fund to assist in making short and long-term decisions regarding the water and sewer system. The policies incorporate three essential areas of debt management: liquidity, debt service coverage and pay-as-you-go funding. For liquidity, the water and sewer enterprise fund will pursue the goal of retaining working capital equal to 80% to 100% of one year's operating expenses. For debt service coverage, the goal is 1.5x coverage of water and sewer revenue bonds and 1.2x coverage of all debt service for the water and sewer enterprise fund. For pay-as-you-go funding, the goal of the water and sewer enterprise fund is to contribute approximately 25% of the annual capital program from non-borrowed funds. The water and sewer enterprise fund is in compliance with each of these debt management policies. The table on the following page presents the operating results of the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund, exclusive of depreciation, as used in computing coverage of debt service, for Fiscal Year 2003 through Fiscal Year 2007. Coverage of debt service on the water and sewer revenue bonds and the general obligation bonds issued for water and sewer purposes is shown separately from the coverage of debt service on all bonds issued for water and sewer purposes. 72 SYSTEM OPERATING REVENUES, EXPENSES AND COVERAGE (in thousands of dollars) 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 Operating Revenues Service Charges $32,703 $35,558 $35,341 $40,120 $43,140 Water Usage 40,456 41,420 41,169 43,176 44,071 Miscellaneous 1,095 711 680 688 814 Total Operating Revenues $74,254 $77,689 $77,190 $83.984 $88,025 Operating Expenses Water Treatment (Services) $26,080 $23,171 $23,229 $24,976 $25,194 Water Distribution 6,835 6,726 7,523 7,452 7,683 Sewer Collection 9,313 9,455 10,783 10,493 11,283 Administration & 11,148 11,792 12,762 13,325 14,698 Engineering Customer Services 7,376 8,710 9.198 8,794 8.864 Total Operating Expenses 860.752 $59,854 863.,495 $65,040 $67,722 Net Operating Income $13,502 $17,835 $13,695 $18.944 $20.303 Non -Operating Income Interest $1,747 $1,290 $1,809 $3,427 $5,290 Water Resource Recovery Fee 4,552 4,831 3,481 3,899 3,465 Sewer Connection Fees 1,913 2,067 1,644 1,657 1,762 Sale of Salvage(') 16 26 - - Norfolk WaterTrue-Up 4.671 (1,595) 797 Total Non -Operating Income $8,228 $12,885 $6,934 $7,388 $11,314 Income Available For Debt Service $21,730 830,720 $20,629 $26,332 $31,617 Annual Debt Service Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds $10,123 $10,020 $10,008 $8,006 $11,329 Total Water and Sewer Debt Service 13,690 13,702 10,991 $8,493 $11,329 Coverage of Debt Service on Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds 2.15x 3.07x 2.06x 3.29x 2.79x Coverage of Debt Service on All Debt Supported by Water and Sewer Revenues 1.59x 2.24x 1.88x 3.10x 2.79x (1) Excludes sale of salvage starting in 2005.

The City's water and sewer activities are operated on an enterprise fund accounting basis, Fiscal Year 2007 operating revenues were $88,024,834. This represents a 4.8% increase over Fiscal Year 2006. The Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund had an increase in Net Assets of $9,268,245 at the end of Fiscal Year 2007. 73 Water Service Contracts Until the Lake Gaston Pipeline Project was completed in late 1997, the City had no independent water supply and obtained water from the City of Norfolk under a Water Sales Contract and a Water Service Contract. The Lake Gaston Pipeline Project was placed into formal operations on January 1, 1998. On that date, the City terminated the Water Sales Contract with Norfolk except for certain provisions that survived until June 30, 1999. The Water Services Contract, which obligates Norfolk to receive, treat, and deliver Lake Gaston water to the City, runs through the year 2030. In essence, the City has contracted for water system facilities and services related to the storage, transmission and treatment of Lake Gaston water. The facilities are owned by Norfolk, but dedicated to serving the City through the life of the Water Service Contract. Those facilities include: 1. Raw water storage (lakes); 2. Raw water pumping stations and transmission lines; 3. Water treatment plant capacity; and 4. Treated water storage, pumping and transmission. In accordance with the Water Services Contract, Norfolk develops projected rates applicable to the City for treated water service on a biennial basis based upon a cost of service study prepared by an independent consulting firm. Under the utility basis "cost of service" methodology, which follows traditional utility ratemaking standards, the City pays its allocable share of operations and maintenance expense, cost of the facilities dedicated to service the City, and services provided by Norfolk, including a reasonable rate of return on facilities dedicated to serving the City. For Fiscal Year 2008, the average effective projected rate to the City for delivery of bulk treated water was $1.89 per 1,000 gallons. On July 1, 2008, that effective rate will change to $1.91 per 1,000 gallons. At the end of the second fiscal year in each biennial period, Norfolk's independent consultant completes and submits to the City a schedule of rates and annual billings applicable to the previous two fiscal years reflecting an allocation of cost of service based on actual costs incurred by the Norfolk water system. This allocation of actual costs resulted in a payable amount to Norfolk of approximately $1.2 million to be paid during Fiscal Year 2009. Water and Sewer Capital Improvement Program The Department of Public Utilities annually prepares the portion of the City's Capital Improvement Plan concerning the improvement and extension of the Water and Sewer System. According to the City's Fiscal Year 2008-2012 CIP, water and sewer utility projects in the amount of $236,334,133 account for 23 percent of overall City capital spending anticipated during the period of Fiscal Years 2008 to 2012. Future funding for the water and sewer program totals $142,759,465, of which $103,761,465 is to be financed with water and sewer revenue bonds. The water and sewer portion of the CIP includes 127 projects. The following table presents the financing sources expected to meet the six-year capital plan for water and sewer. 74 WATER AND SEWER SYSTEM CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM Fiscal Year 2008 To Fiscal Year 2012 Financing Plan Total Estimated Previously Utility Costs Authorized Water $ 59,785,086 $27,739,817 Sewer 176.549,047 65.834,851 Total $236,314,133 $93,574,668 Balance To Be Funded $ 32,045,269 110.714.196 $142,759,465 Source: Adopted Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Years 2008-2012.

City buildings and their contents are covered by an all risk property insurance program which is written with a $100,000 per occurrence deductible. Other types of property insurance are written with deductibles ranging from $5,000 to $50,000 and include coverage for such items as computer equipment, heavy contractor's type equipment, fine arts and valuable papers. All City employees are bonded for $1,000,000. The City is primarily self-insured for the first $2,000,000 of any automobile liability, commercial general liability, public officials' liability and police professional liability claims. The City has $10,000,000 of commercial insurance coverage above this self-insured retention on these lines of risks. The City is also primarily self-insured for workers' compensation and carries commercial insurance in excess of any claims totaling $500,000 in any single occurrence. The City's Risk Management Fund had a cash balance of $15,832,167 as of July 1, 2007, which amount is expected to be sufficient for expected draw -downs during the course of the current fiscal year. An actuarial study conducted by the firm of Marsh & McLennan Companies determined that the fund balance of this fund as of July 1, 2007 should be $17,812,729, which represents the discounted liability for current claims against the City. Commitments and Contingencies The City participates in a number of federal and state grants, entitlements, and shared revenues programs. These programs are subject to program compliance audits by the applicable federal or state agency or its representatives. Furthermore, the U.S. Congress passed legislation called the "Single Audit Act Amendment of 1996" which required most governmental recipients of federal assistance to have an annual independent organization -wide financial and compliance audit. The results thereof are incorporated in the audited financial statements for the City for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2007. The amounts, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by these audits cannot be determined at this time although the City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial. 75 Retirement and Pension Plans The City has elected to participate in the Virginia Retirement System ("VRS"), and substantially all of the full-time salaried general government and school employees are covered by a retirement plan, group term life insurance, and disability and death benefits. Prior to January 1, 1978, employees contributed five percent of their annual salary. There is presently no employee contribution; the City pays the entire cost. If there are insufficient funds to meet the vested benefits of the employees, the City is liable. The VRS maintains separate accounts for each participating locality based on contributions made by the locality and the benefits paid to former employees. The City's contributions are actuarially determined by the VRS every two years at rates that provide for both normal and accrued funding liability. The VRS basis calculation method is an entry age normal cost calculation with 30 year amortization of the unfunded accrued liability. The entry age normal cost method is designed to produce normal costs over the working lifetime of the participating employees and to permit the amortization of any unfunded liability over a period of years. The unfunded liability arises because normal costs based on the current benefit formula have not been paid throughout the working lifetime of current employees. The value of the unpaid normal costs, adjusted for actuarial gains and losses, constitutes the unfunded liability. The last actuarially computed liability was determined as of June 30, 2005, and included amounts for general government and school nonprofessional employees. Total liability as of June 30, 2006, both funded and unfunded, follows: General Government Employees School Nonprofessional Employees Total Actuarial Value of Assets $851,058,564 120,152,277 8971,210,841 Unfunded Actuarial (Overfunded) Accrued $223,008,182 12,309,609 $235,317,791 Actuarial Accrued $1,074,066,746 132,461,886 $1,206,528,632 The unfunded accrued liabilities of $12,309,609 (School Board) and $223,008,182 are being amortized over 30 years according to a schedule prescribed by the VRS. In Fiscal Year 2006-2007 the City's contribution rate as determined by VRS from its actuarial report was increased from 15.32% to 17.28%. The rate increase was based on an analysis and assumptions of member data, an increase in the number of employees retiring and losses due to the market turndown over the last three fiscal years. The City has always made the required contribution to VRS in accordance with the Code of Virginia. In 2004, the Government Accounting Standards Board adopted two statements, GASB Statements 43 and 45, that established uniform financial reporting and accounting standards for other post -employment benefits offered to retirees. These statements require the City to recognize in its government wide financial statements, a liability for post -employment benefits offered to its retirees who meet certain eligibility requirements. The City will be required to comply with these new these statements beginning with Fiscal Year 2008. In order to address the requirements of these statements, a joint committee was formed and comprised of members of the City and School Board. The goal of this committee is to ensure that the City and School Board are prepared to comply with these new requirements. 76 Beginning June 30, 2008, the City will be required to recognize its obligations to retirees for health insurance. Both the City and the School Board have worked to identify the calculations for Fiscal Year 2008 as follows: ($ Millions) Unfunded 4.0% Funded 7.5% City Schools Total City Schools Total Actuarial Accrued Liability $119.9 $100.1 $220.0 $84.7 $72.3 $157.0 Annual Required Contribution 12.3 10.9 23.2 10.3 9.2 19.5 Expected 2008 Costs 5.3 5.3 10.6 5.3 5.3 10.6 Cash Flow Increase 0.0 0.0 0.0 5.0 3.9 8.9 As noted in the table above, the City is projected to have an incremental annual cost of $5.0 million, and the School Board is projected to have an additional incremental annual cost of $3.9 million, for a total of $8.9 million annually. These amounts represent decreases from earlier estimates as a result of changes in health plan benefits that have reduced overall costs. The City and the School Board each established a reserve of $3.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2007 in the fund balance to cover part of this additional incremental annual cost. In addition, the 2008 Operating Budget contains additional funding to meet the June 30, 2008 annual required contribution. Staff is working to develop a long-term funding policy recommendation to City Council to address this obligation. Employee Relations and Collective Bargaining There were 6,228 full-time City employees and approximately 10,635 School Board employees as of June 30, 2007. Some employees are members of unions or trade or professional associations. The City, however, does not, and cannot under Virginia law, bargain collectively with any of its employees. The Virginia General Assembly has rejected several recent legislative proposals to authorize public employees to engage in collective bargaining. Public employees of Virginia or of any county, city, or town in Virginia do not have a legal right to strike. Any such employee who engages in any organized strike or willfully refuses to perform his/her duties shall, according to Virginia law, be deemed to have terminated his/her employment. Re-employment of any such employee requires court approval. 77 SECTION SIX: MISCELLANEOUS Delivery The Bonds are offered for delivery when, as and if issued, subject to the approval of validity by Bond Counsel and to certain other conditions referred to herein. It is expected that the Bonds will be available for delivery at the expense of the City through the facilities of DTC on or about March 25, 2008.

We have examined the applicable law and certified copies of such proceedings and other papers, including Ordinances adopted by the City Council of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia (the "City Council") on May 10, 2005, May 9, 2006 and May 15, 2007 (together, the "Ordinances"), and a Resolution adopted by the City Council on February 2008 (the "Bond Resolution"), as we have deemed necessary to render this opinion. We have also examined the form of the Bonds. The Bonds recite that they are authorized and issued pursuant to the Ordinances, the Bond Resolution, the City Charter (Chapter 147, Acts of Assembly of 1962, as amended) and the Public Finance Act of 1991 (Chapter 26, Title 15.2, Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended). The proceeds of the Bonds are being used to finance (1) various public, school, road, highway, coastal, economic and tourism, building and parks and recreation improvements in the City and (2) the costs of the issuance of the Bonds. As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon the certified proceedings and other certifications of public officials and others furnished to us, without undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation. Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, under existing law: (1) The City is a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia (the "Commonwealth"), and has all necessary power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Ordinances, the Bond Resolution and the Bonds. (2) The Bonds have been duly authorized and issued in accordance with the Constitution and statutes of the Commonwealth, including the City Charter and the Public Finance Act of 1991, and constitute valid and legally binding general obligations of the City, for the payment of which B-1 the City's full faith and credit have been irrevocably pledged. The City is authorized and required, unless other funds are lawfully available and appropriated for timely payment of the Bonds, to levy and collect annually on all locally taxable property in the City an ad valorem tax over and above all the taxes authorized or limited by law, sufficient to pay the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds when due. (3) All proceedings for the issuance of the Bonds have been held and adopted in due time, form and manner as required by the laws of the Commonwealth. (4) Interest on the Bonds (including any original issue discount properly allocable to an owner of a Bond) is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations; it should be noted, however, that such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings for the purpose of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations (as defined for federal income tax purposes). The opinion set forth in the preceding sentence is subject to the condition that the City comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in order that interest thereon be, or continue to be, excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The City has covenanted to comply with all such requirements. Failure to comply with certain of such requirements may cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds. (5) Interest on the Bonds is exempt from income taxation by the Commonwealth. The rights of the owners of the Bonds and the enforceability of the Bonds are limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, heretofore or hereafter enacted, and by equitable principles, whether considered at law or in equity. Our services as bond counsel to the City have been limited to a review of the legal proceedings required for the authorization of the Bonds and to rendering the opinions set forth above. We express no opinion herein as to the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Official Statement dated March 13, 2008 relating to the Bonds. Further, we express no opinion regarding tax consequences arising with respect to the Bonds other than as expressly set forth herein. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in law that may hereafter occur. Very truly yours, Troutman Sanders LLP B-2 APPENDIX C FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT This CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT dated as of March 2008 (the "Disclosure Agreement"), is executed and delivered by the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia (the "City"), in connection with the issuance by the City of its $90,000,000 General Obligation Public Improvement Bonds, Series 2008 (the `Bonds").

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA By City Manager, City of Virginia Beach, Virginia C-2 APPENDIX D INFORMATION REGARDING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY AND ITS BOOK -ENTRY SYSTEM INFORMATION REGARDING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY AND ITS BOOK -ENTRY SYSTEM The description which follows of the procedures and recordkeeping with respect to beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds, payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC"), its nominee, Participants or Beneficial Owners (each as hereinafter defined), confirmation and transfer of beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds and other bond -related transactions by and between DTC, Participants and Beneficial Owners is based solely on information furnished by DTC. DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully -registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co., DTC's partnership nominee, or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully -registered Bond certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Bonds, each in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC. DTC, the world's largest depository, is a limited -purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 2.2 million issues of U.S. and non -U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments from over 100 countries that DTC's participants (the "Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post -trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities through electronic computerized book -entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non -U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC, in turn, is owned by a number of Direct Participants of DTC and Members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation ("NSCC," "FICC" and "EMCC," also subsidiaries of DTCC), as well as by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange LLC, and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non -U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (the "Indirect Participants"). DTC has Standard & Poor's highest rating: AAA. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org. Purchases of the Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond (the `Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct or Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the Bonds, except in the event that use of the book -entry system for the Bonds is discontinued. D-1 To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of the Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the City as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Principal of, premium, if any, and interest payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the City on the payable date in accordance with the Direct Participants' respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Direct or Indirect Participant and not of DTC (nor its nominee) or the City, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the City, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants shall be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners shall be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the City. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, Bond certificates will be printed and delivered. The City may decide to discontinue use of the system of book -entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Bond certificates will be printed and delivered. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book -entry system has been obtained from sources that the City believes to be reliable, but the City takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. D-2 THE CITY HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATION TO THE DIRECT OR INDIRECT PARTICIPANTS OR THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS WITH RESPECT TO (A) THE ACCURACY OF ANY RECORDS MAINTAINED BY DTC OR ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT PARTICIPANT; (B) THE PAYMENT BY ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT PARTICIPANT OF ANY AMOUNT DUE TO ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER IN RESPECT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF, PREMIUM, IF ANY, AND INTEREST ON THE BONDS; (C) THE DELIVERY OR TIMELINESS OF DELIVERY BY ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT PARTICIPANT OF ANY NOTICE TO ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER THAT IS REQUIRED OR PERMITTED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE RESOLUTION TO BE GIVEN TO BONDHOLDERS; OR (D) ANY OTHER ACTION TAKEN BY DTC, OR ITS NOMINEE, CEDE & CO., AS BONDHOLDER, INCLUDING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ANY ACTION TAKEN PURSUANT TO AN OMNIBUS PROXY. So long as Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Bonds, as nominee of DTC, references in this Official Statement to the Owners of the Bonds shall mean Cede & Co. and shall not mean the Beneficial Owners, and Cede & Co. will be treated as the only holder of Bonds for all purposes under the Resolution. The City may enter into amendments to the agreement with DTC or successor agreements with a successor securities depository relating to the book -entry system to be maintained with respect to the Bonds without the consent of Beneficial Owners or Bondholders.

E-1 Principal Redemption The Bonds will be general obligation bonds of the City, dated the date of delivery (the "Dated Date"), and will mature serially or be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemptions on October 1 in the years and amounts shown below. Due October 1 Amount Due October 1 Amount 2008 $4,500,000 2018 $4,500,000 2009 4,500,000 2019 4,500,000 2010 4,500,000 2020 4,500,000 2011 4,500,000 2021 4,500,000 2012 4,500,000 2022 4,500,000 2013 4,500,000 2023 4,500,000 2014 4,500,000 2024 4,500,000 2015 4,500,000 2025 4,500,000 2016 4,500,000 2026 4,500,000 2017 4,500,000 2027 4,500,000 Serial Bonds, Term Bonds and Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemptions Bidders may provide in the bid form for all of the Bonds to be issued as serial Bonds or may designate consecutive annual principal amounts of the Bonds to be combined into not more than two Term Bonds. In the event that a bidder chooses to specify a Term Bond, each such Term Bond shall be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption commencing on October 1 of the first year which has been combined to form such Term Bond and continuing on October 1 in each year thereafter until the stated maturity of such Term Bond. The amount redeemed in any year shall be equal to the principal amount for such year set forth in the amortization schedule above. Bonds to be redeemed in any year by mandatory sinking fund redemption shall be redeemed at par and shall be selected by lot from among the maturities of the Term Bond being redeemed. The City shall be entitled to reduce its mandatory sinking fund redemption obligation in any year with respect to Term Bonds of any maturity by the principal amount of such Term Bonds theretofore optionally redeemed by the City. Description of the Bonds; Book -Entry Only System The Bonds will be issued by means of a book -entry system with no distribution of physical Bond certificates made to the public. One Bond certificate for each maturity will be issued to The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC"), or its nominee, and immobilized in its custody. The book -entry system will evidence beneficial ownership of the Bonds in principal amounts of $5,000 or multiples thereof, with transfers of beneficial ownership effected on the records of DTC and its participants pursuant to rules and procedures established by DTC and its participants. Bond certificates registered in the name of Cede & Co. will be deposited with DTC. Interest on the Bonds will be paid semiannually on April 1 and October 1, beginning October 1, 2008, and principal on the Bonds will be paid annually on October 1, beginning October 1, 2008, to DTC or its nominee as registered owner of the Bonds. Transfer of principal and interest payments to beneficial owners by participants of DTC will be the responsibility of such participants and other nominees of beneficial owners. The City will not be responsible or liable for maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records maintained by DTC, its participants or persons acting through such participants. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the City. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, Bond certificates are required to be prepared, executed and delivered. The City may decide to discontinue use of the system of book -entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that case, either a successor depository will be selected by the City or Bond certificates will be prepared, executed and delivered. E-2 Optional Redemption The Bonds that mature on or before October 1, 2017, are not subject to optional redemption prior to their stated maturities. The Bonds that mature on and after October 1, 2018, will be subject to redemption beginning October 1, 2017, in whole or in part at any time, at the option of the City, upon payment of the par amount of principal so redeemed plus interest accrued and unpaid to the redemption date. Selection of Bonds for Redemption; Notice of Redemption If less than all of the Bonds are called for optional redemption, the Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by the City's Director of Finance in such manner as may be determined to be in the best interest of the City. If less than all of the Bonds of a particular maturity are called for redemption, DTC or any successor securities depository will select the Bonds to be redeemed pursuant to its rules and procedures or, if the book -entry system is discontinued, the Bonds to be redeemed will be selected by the City Treasurer, who has been appointed registrar (the "Registrar"), by lot in such manner as the Registrar in its discretion may determine. In either case, each portion of the $5,000 principal amount is counted as one Bond for such purpose. The City will cause notice of the call for redemption identifying the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed to be sent by facsimile transmission, registered or certified mail or overnight express delivery, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, to the registered owner thereof. The City shall not be responsible for mailing notice of redemption to anyone other than DTC or another qualified securities depository or its nominee unless no qualified securities depository is the registered owner of the Bonds. If no qualified securities depository is the registered owner of the Bonds, notice of redemption shall be mailed to the registered owners of the Bonds. If a portion of a Bond is called for redemption, a new Bond in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued to the registered owner upon the surrender thereof. Security The Bonds will be general obligations of the City, secured by a pledge of the City's full faith and credit and unlimited taxing power. Use of Bond Proceeds As described in more detail in the City's Preliminary Official Statement, dated , 2008, the Bonds are being issued for the purpose of providing funds for various public improvements and to pay the costs of issuance related to the Bonds. Bidding Rules; Award of Bonds Bidders may only bid to purchase all of the Bonds. Bidders are invited to name the rate or rates of interest per annum which the Bonds are to bear in multiples of one -twentieth (1/20th) or one-eighth (1/8th) of one percent. All Bonds maturing on the same date must bear interest at the same rate. Any number of rates may be named provided that (a) the highest rate of interest may not exceed the lowest rate of interest by more than 3 percentage points, and (b) the highest rate of interest stated for any maturity may not exceed 6.0% per annum, but in no event shall the "true" interest cost exceed 5.5%. No bid for less than 99% of par plus accrued interest (computed on the basis of a 360 -day year and twelve 30 -day months) shall be considered. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids (regardless of the interest rate bid), to reject any bid not complying with this Official Notice of Sale and, so far as permitted by law, to waive any irregularity or informality with respect to any bid or the bidding process. As promptly as reasonably possible after the bids are received, the City will notify the bidder to whom the Bonds will be awarded, if and when such award is made. Such bidder, upon such notice, shall advise the City of the initial reoffering prices or yields to the public of each maturity of the Bonds (the "Initial Reoffering Prices or Yields") and details regarding the anticipated use of a municipal bond insurance policy, if any, in connection with the Bonds. The successful bidder must reasonably expect to sell to the public 10% or more in par amount of the Bonds from each maturity at the Initial Reoffering Prices or Yields. All bids will remain firm for a period of no less than three hours after the time specified for the opening of bids. An award of the Bonds, if made, will be made E-3 by the City within such three hour period or, with the express consent of the bidders, such longer time period as deemed necessary. Unless all bids are rejected, the Bonds will be awarded to the bidder complying with the terms of this Official Notice of Sale and submitting a bid which provides the lowest "true" interest cost to the City. True interest cost shall be determined for each bid by doubling the semiannual interest rate, compounded semiannually, necessary to discount the debt service payments from the payment dates to the Dated Date and to the bid price, such bid price excluding interest accrued to the date of settlement. If more than one bid offers the same lowest true interest cost, the successful bid will be selected by the City Manager by lot. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive any irregularity or informality with respect to any bid. Bids for the Bonds shall not be conditioned upon obtaining insurance or any other credit enhancement. If a bidder proposes to obtain a policy of municipal bond insurance or any other credit enhancement, any such purchase of insurance or commitment therefor shall be at the sole option and expense of the bidder, and the bidder must pay any increased costs of issuance of the Bonds as a result of such insurance or commitment. Any failure by the bidder to obtain such a policy of insurance shall not in any way relieve such bidder of its contractual obligations arising from the acceptance of its bid for the purchase of the Bonds. Good Faith Deposit Each bid must be accompanied by a certified or cashier's check for $900,000 drawn upon an incorporated bank or trust company authorized to transact business in the Commonwealth of Virginia or in the City of New York and payable unconditionally to the order of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, to secure the City against any loss resulting from the failure of the successful bidder to comply with the terms of its bid. The check of the successful bidder will be deposited and credited toward the purchase price, and no interest will be allowed thereon to accrue to the benefit of the successful bidder. The proceeds of the check will be retained by the City as liquidated damages in case the successful bidder fails to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds. Checks of unsuccessful bidders will be returned promptly upon award of the Bonds. Bidders must also clearly indicate to whom the check should be returned in the event of an unsuccessful bid. In lieu of the check described above, the deposit may be in the form of a Financial Surety Bond in the amount of $900,000 payable to the City. The Financial Surety Bond must be from an insurance company acceptable to the City and licensed to issue such a bond in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and such Financial Surety Bond must be submitted to the City prior to the opening of the bids and must be in a form acceptable to the City. The Financial Surety Bond must identify each bidder whose deposit is guaranteed by such Financial Surety Bond. If the Bonds are awarded to a bidder utilizing a Financial Surety Bond, then such successful bidder is required to submit its deposit to the City in the form of a cashier's or certified check or wire transfer not later than 11:30 a.m., Local Time, on the next business day following the award. If such deposit is not received by such time, the Financial Surety Bond may be drawn by the City to satisfy the deposit requirement. Bidders submitting an electronic or facsimile bid must deliver the good faith check (or, in lieu thereof, a Financial Surety Bond) by 11:30 a.m., Local Time, on March 11, 2008, to Patricia A. Phillips, Director of Finance, Virginia Beach Municipal Center, City Hall Building, Room 220, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23456. Delivery of the Bonds The Bonds will be delivered at the expense of the City in New York, New York, through the facilities of DTC on or about March 25, 2008. Concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds, the City will furnish to the successful bidder without cost (a) a certificate dated the date of delivery of the Bonds, signed by the appropriate City officials and stating that no litigation of any kind is then pending or, to the best of their information, knowledge and belief, threatened against the City to restrain or enjoin the issuance or delivery of the Bonds or the levy or collection of ad valorem taxes and (b) certificates dated the date of delivery of the Bonds, stating that the descriptions and statements in the Official Statement (except in the sections entitled "Book -Entry System" and "Tax Exemption" and in the cohimns "Price/ Yield" and "CUSIP No." on the inside cover), on the date of the Official Statement and on the date of delivery of the E-4 I I Bonds, were and are true and correct in all material respects, did not and do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make such descriptions and statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Such certificates will also state, however, that such City officials did not independently verify the information indicated in the Official Statement as having been obtained or derived from sources other than the City and its officers but they have no reason to believe that such information is not accurate. Certificate of Winning Bidder The successful bidder must, by facsimile transmission or overnight delivery received by the City within 24 hours after receipt of the bids for the Bonds, furnish the following information to the City to complete the Official Statement in final form, as described below: A. The offering prices for the Bonds (expressed as the price or yield per maturity, exclusive of any accrued interest). B. Selling compensation (aggregate total anticipated compensation to the underwriters expressed in dollars, based on the expectation that all Bonds are sold at the prices or yields described in Subpart A above). C. The identity of the underwriters if the successful bidder is a part of a group or syndicate. D. Any other material information necessary to complete the Official Statement in final form but not known to the City. Prior to the delivery of the Bonds, the successful bidder shall furnish to the City a certificate in form acceptable to bond counsel, to the effect that the successful bidder has made a bona fide public offering of the Bonds at the initial public offering prices set forth in such certificate, that the successful bidder has complied with Rule G- 37 of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the "MSRB") with respect to the City and that a substantial amount of the Bonds of each maturity were sold to the public (excluding bond houses, brokers and other intermediaries) at such initial public offering prices. Such certificate shall state that (1) it is made on the best knowledge, information and belief of the successful bidder and (2) 10% or more in par amount of the Bonds of each maturity was reasonable expected to be sold on the Date of Sale to the public at the initial public offering price (such amount being sufficient to establish the sale of a substantial amount of the Bonds). CUSIP Numbers It is anticipated that CUSIP identification numbers will be printed on the Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect thereto shall constitute cause for failure or refusal by the successful bidder thereof to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds in accordance with the terms of its bid. The City will assume responsibility for the expense of the initial printing of CUSIP numbers; provided, however, that the City assumes no responsibility for any CUSIP Service Bureau or other charges that may be imposed for the assignment of such numbers. All expenses in connection with the assignment of CUSIP numbers shall be paid by the successful bidder. It shall be the obligation of the successful bidder to furnish to DTC an underwriter questionnaire and to the City the CUSIP numbers for the Bonds within two business days following the date of award. Official Statement The City will furnish the successful bidder at the expense of the City up to 500 copies of the final Official Statement by the earlier of the closing date and seven business days from the date of the award of the Bonds, as specified in Rule 15c2-12 (the "Rule") of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the rules of the MSRB provided that minor delays in furnishing such final Official Statement will not be a basis for failure to pay for and accept delivery of the Bonds. Additional copies will be made available at the successful bidder's request and expense. The City assumes no responsibility or obligation for the distribution or delivery of the Official Statement to anyone other than the successful bidder. E-5 The successful bidder, by executing the Official Bid Form, agrees to provide one copy of the Official Statement to at least one Nationally Recognized Municipal Securities Information Repository ("NRMSIR") within the meaning of the Rule upon receipt of the Official Statement from the City and two copies of the Official Statement (with any required forms) to the MSRB or its designee no later than ten business days following the Date of Sale. The successful bidder shall notify the City as soon as practicable of (1) the date which is the end of the underwriting period (such "underwriting period" is described in the Rule), and (2) the date of filing the Official Statement with a NRMSIR and MSRB or its designee. If the Bonds are awarded to a syndicate, the City will designate the senior managing underwriter of the syndicate as its agent for purposes of distributing copies of the Official Statement to each participating underwriter. Any underwriter executing and delivering a bid form with respect to the Bonds agrees thereby that if its bid is accepted it shall accept such designation and shall enter into a contractual relationship with all participating underwriters for the purposes of assuring the receipt and distribution by each such participating underwriter of the Official Statement, unless another firm is so designated by the syndicate in writing and approved by the City. Legal Opinion The approving opinion of Troutman Sanders LLP, Richmond, Virginia, with respect to the Bonds will be furnished to the successful bidder at the expense of the City and will state that the Bonds constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the City and that its Council is authorized and required by law, unless other funds are lawfully available and appropriated for timely payment of the Bonds, to levy and collect an annual ad valorem tax, over and above all other taxes authorized or limited by law and without limitation as to rate or amount, on all locally taxable property in the City sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same become due. Federal and State Securities Laws No action has been taken to qualify the Bonds under the federal and Commonwealth securities laws. Tax Exemption The Official Statement relating to the Bonds contains a discussion of the effect of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, on the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds and a discussion of the opinion of Troutman Sanders LLP insofar as it concerns such exclusion. Continuing Disclosure To assist the successful bidder in complying with the Rule, the City will agree, pursuant to the Continuing Disclosure Agreement, to provide certain annual financial information and operating data and notices of the occurrence of certain events, if material. A description of this undertaking is set forth in the Preliminary Official Statement for the Bonds and will also be set forth in the final Official Statement for the Bonds (See Appendix C of the Preliminary Official Statement dated , 2008).

Wilson; Jim Wood Cc: James Spore; Les L. Lilley; Ruth H. Fraser; Steve Herbert; Susie Walston; Judy Faro Subject: Update on Signal Light at First Landing State Park `. [ayor Oberndorf, Council Members Wilson and Wood, ollowing Tuesday's meeting and your concern as to the particulars of the signal replacement project on Shore Drive at :he First Landing State Park, we wanted to provide the following update before breaking for the weekend. Please let me I, now if you have further questions. We have reviewed the Shore Drive Design Guidelines and they are non specific with regard to traffic signal poles. The issue may not be the type and color of the pole itself, but the number and location of the poles and the necessary oundations. Below is a quick project summary: 1 he Shore Drive/ First Landing Park intersection has a span -wire signal that is in need of approximately $50,000 of maintenance work. Although this work would keep the signal functioning for a few years, the shifting signal pole oundations will require the signal poles and foundations to be replaced. 'ublic Works currently has in stock signal poles and mast arms that are the same design and color (black) as the signal 'oles that were recently installed with the Shore Drive Demonstration Project. The thinking was, the Shore Drive ',dvisory Cmte approved the black poles on the Shore Drive Demonstration Project, and the poles for the First Landing ark entrance match, therefore the SDAC would not have an issue with the design and color of the signal poles. By using our in -stock poles, the signal could be upgraded to a pole and mast arm signal with upgraded camera detection. In addition, pedestrian improvements are planned. ->/16/2008 Page 2 of 2 The estimate cost of the signal improvements using the existing poles and design is approximately $75,000. The design e fort is being accomplished in-house by PW/Engineering however at this time we have put a hold on further effort. B. cause the pole and mast arm signal system would be a fix that would have a longer service life, it was decided to move f...eword. V. hile PW/Engineering was recently at the intersection reviewing the design, Fred Hazelwood (First Landing State Park) came to the intersection and began to inquire about the signal light replacement project. PW/Engineering representatives e \plained the project to Mr. Hazelwood. The new signal poles are in black to match the rest of new signals along Shore I!rive corridor. Traffic Engineering's design provides an upgrade to the signal with new crosswalk markings and c,.)untdown pedestrian signals for pedestrians to safely cross Shore Drive at this intersection. Of concern to Mr. I (azelwood was the positioning of the center pole and foundation and the impact to the entrance to the park as well as z.,:sthetics. It is also believed Mr. Hazelwood's preference is probably for a four pole configuration. There may not be enough ROW to accommodate that configuration and the expense might be as much as $250K. lark Johnson, PW PE, and I have spoken with Mr. Hazelwood and as he is leaving town for two weeks we have put all f_irther action on hold. During this lull the PW team is looking at alternatives within our current right-of-way. Once we understand Mr. Hazelwood's concerns we can determine what direction the project should take. Will keep you informed once the dialog resumes. VR Dave Dave Hansen hief of Finance & Technology city of Virginia Beach 757-385-4242 -/16/2008
