CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
1:30 P.M.
ITEM # 58029
Mayor Oberndorf advised Council Lady Henley is at the Hospital awaiting the birth of her new
grandchild.
ITEM # 58030
Councilman Dyer advised that on April 3, 2007, this City Council unanimously passed the concept the
Blue Ribbon Tax, Fee and Spending Task Force. The City Council Retreat proved this Task Force has
been a success. As the City faces an uncertain financial future, Virginia Beach will be better prepared.
The Task Force serves in an advisory capacity to City Council with a Local Tax and Fee Subcommittee
and a Local Spending Subcommittee. The Subcommittees comprehensively analyze the impact of the
City's revenue sources and taxing structure and identify alternative tax and fee funding sources designed
specifically to reduce the City's dependence on real estate tax revenue. Spending policies and strategies
supported are defined by spending ratios and measures that guide and/or control spending within
sustainable levels.
Last Friday, September 19, 2008, Councilman Dyer and other Members of City Council met with the
City Manager and Lyle Sumek, Facilitator. concerning implementation of the recommendations of the
Task Force especially related to the Strategic Plan. Mr. Sumek, in coordination with the City Manager
and staff, developed a "rough" document entitled: Virginia Beach Vision 2021, Goals 2013 with
objectives Initiatives in Progress and Major Projects.
Discussions entailed re placing these concepts on the City's website. As an example, one could "click"
on "gang intervention ". A drop box would appear with current and future activities related to gangs.
This would also supply the City Council with resource pools.
Council Lady Wilson concurred with this concept allowing citizens the capability to access all the
information in one place.
The City Manager advised the average citizen could access and tie the Budget strategy and
Comprehensive Plan together and when these various initiatives would be scheduled for a City Council.
Agenda., Public Conversation or Comment.
ITEM # 58031
The City Council "shinned" during the BRAC negotiations. Working with the City Attorney. City
Manager and the Navy, the result was successful.
Councilman Dyer referenced the concept of rather than holding three (3) City Council Formal Sessions
and a Workshop each month, there be two (2) Formal Sessions and two (2) Workshops. This was
discussed during City Council's Retreat. This would allow more time for deliberation of issues between
the City Council, City Manager, City Attorney and City staff. The "open mike" night has been a success
and should be retained.
Council Lady Wilson would welcome the opportunity to have more dialogue among the City Council
Members and concurred with the concept of two (2) Formal City Council Sessions and two (2)
Workshops each month. This works very well in July and December when two (2) Formal Sessions of City
Council are scheduled by City Code. However, in these two (2) months, there are no Workshops. She
believes the meetings should be on the Second and Fourth Tuesdays of the Month, as the School Board
meets on the First and the Third Tuesday. Quite often, citizens are interested in the activities of both the
City Council and School Board and they would not have to choose which meeting to attend or view. Also,
School staff could attend the Council meetings if desired and City staff could attend the School Board
meetings.

CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
ITEM # 58031 (Continued)
The City Manager advised an ordinance would be needed to adjust the City Council Sessions.
Councilman Dyer suggested a DRAFT Ordinance be developedfor City Council discussion and review.
This process could be inclusive, including the School Board and the City's Legislatures in budgetary
discussions, not just communication among the City Council.
Council Lady McClanan noted citizens must be heard during the City Council Sessions. The citizens need
to also review this change. 'Half of the Civic Leagues in the City meet on Tuesday night. Virginia is a
DILLON Rule State. The City cannot change this. This significantly impacts the City's decision making.
ITEM # 58032
The state may cut 15% of the City's funding. The City is facing an economic storm.
Mayor Oberndorf advised she attended the Hampton Roads Partnership meeting in Williamsburg.
Governor Kaine advised he sent directives to all his departments for a 5%/10%/15% expense cut in every
area. His advice was the elective officials need to schedule their plans according to the amount offunding
which will be withdrawn from the State. The Mayor advised funding needs to be set aside to make the
City's payments on the bonded indebtedness so as not lose the City's Triple A Bond rating.
The City Manager advised the staff is working on a similar process at the local level. Portsmouth has
been utilizing their undesignated fund reserve for the last three (3) years for operating expenses. This
should not be done on an ongoing basis.
Mayor Oberndorf advised Virginia Beach has a Triple A Bond rating only as a result of good
management.
ITEM # 58033
Councilman Wood referenced the 3f1h Anniversary Celebration of the Office of Volunteer Resources,
September 24, 2008, 4:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M., Volunteer Recognition Garden. Councilman Wood
requested the City Council's attendance, as well as the Department Directors. There is no department
that could not benefit from utilizing volunteers.
Mayor Oberndorf advised there are over 20,000 volunteers that save the public over $15-MILLION a
year which does not have to be raised in taxes.
ITEM # 58034
Councilman Uhrin referenced the Tourism Advertising Budget on the State level. A few short years ago,
the Budget was over $20-MILLION, expended State-wide to attract tourism to the State, as well as the
City of Virginia Beach. This budget has been cut many times and has reached a statewide low of $11-
MILLION. This has returned to approximately $14-MILLION; however this is still far below the
previous allocation and also the funding of competitive states Councilman Uhrin requested the City
Council consider including in their Community Legislative Agenda, a request to the State to consider
increasing this Budget, and ifnot in this Budget Cycle, to consider an increase in the near future.
Councilman Uhrin distributed correspondence from Jim Ricketts, Director - Convention and Visitors
Bureau, verifying the status of other states.

merits of the Hilton Project (3rt Street development). Councilman Uhrin met with the developer and also

quantify the tax revenue stream which goes directly to the City and compare the projections of the

easements in the Inter-facility Traffic Area (IT A). The United States Navy has just committed to an
increase of approximately $4,000,000 to $7,072,050.

lesser of the fair market value of the easement or 50% of the City's acquisition cost of each IT A property
(the "Encroachment Partnering Agreement ").
The Encroachment Partnering Agreement delineated the Navy would provide initial funding in the
amount of $3,000,000 and additional funds were being sought and would be accomplished by a
modification of the Encroachment Partnering Agreement. The Navy has applied for and the Federal
Government intends to approve additional funding of approximately $4-MILLION, requesting a
modification of the Encroachment Partnering Agreement to increase the Navy's intended obligation
from $3,000,000 to approximately $7,072,050. The exact additional amount will be determined as
available funds are obligated at the end of the Federal fiscal year. The Navy's fiscal year ends September
30, 2008, and the amendment to the Agreement must be signed on behalf of the City prior to that date.

PUBLIC COMMENT
ITEM # 58050
Mayor Oberndorf INVITED PUBLIC COMMENT:
2009 COMMUNITY LEGISLATIVE AGENDA
The following registered to speak:
William Bailey, 4841 Rosecroft Street, Phone: 288-5761, Sixth District Vice President - Virginia State
Firefighters. Mr. Bailey distributed the Virginia Professional Fire Fighters 2009 Legislative Agenda.
Mr. Bailey registered opposition to the following items of the proposed Community Legislative Agenda:
"(10) Automatic Enrollment for New Employees into the City's Deferred Compensation Program, (11)
Do Not Refund Employer Paid Contributions and (12) Job-Related Disability Retirement: Alternative
Eligibility Guidelines. Considering the state of the economy, there should !1!!1...be a mandatory enrollment
in Deferred Compensation. Funds going to the Virginia Retirement System are no longer the City's
money, they belong to the employee. Virginia is not having a problem with the Disability Retirement
program. Disabilities are controlled by the locality and the City has the option to keep an employee,
should they be injured in the line of duty. Without hesitation, public safety officers respond to
emergencies across the City and without hesitation put their lives on the line to protect the citizens. "
Councilman Diezel advised the larger issue relates to employee compensation. City Council has agreed
to discuss the issues for all future employees and the fiscal impact which it can and will make on City
revenue. Councilman Diezel will ask City Council to withdraw those provisions cited by Mr. Bailey, as
well as others which he will indicate "in writing".
Councilman Diezel advised there are a number of options for which this City Council needs to develop a
policy. Reviewing long term ramifications and employee benefit packages, the Employee Review Task
Force realized how expensive and how intertwined they are with local government in general. This needs
to be examined almost as a separate item. If there is to be a policy indicating the City wishes the "best
employees, " then a method to retain these employees must be devised. The cornerstone of the retention
will be the Benefits Package as well as the Job Description. There have been a number of Public Safety
Officers who want to work but have not been able to because of the City's internal policy re disability.
There may be options which have not yet been explored.
Councilman DeSteph advised Item No. 11 was in last year's Community Legislative Agenda and was
pulled then. Number 12 re change in Disability Retirement was discussed during the Employees Review
Task Force. He believes the retirement issue must be addressed again; the Virginia Retirement System
cannot be sustainedfor the future with new employees.
There being no further speakers, Mayor Oberndorf CLOSED THE PUBLIC COMMENT.

TERM-SHEET
IMPLEMENTATION OF TIDEWATER COMMUNITY COLLEGE'S
STRATEGIC PLAN
Representatives of the City of Virginia Beach ("City") and Tidewater Community College
("TCC") have been discussing a possible partnership for implementation ofTCC's Strategic
Plan for the Virginia Beach Campus. This Term-Sheet is intended to reflect the shared
understanding of both parties and their respective commitments and to update the 1996
Memorandum of Understanding between the City and TCC. The Term-Sheet is not
intended to be a legally binding agreement, and all commitments outlined are subject to
City Council and the Commonwealth of Virginia's ("Commonwealth") future appropriation.
The policy implications associated with this Term-Sheet are outlined in the attached Policy
Report that was presented to City Council on November 27,2001.
1. City will provide for site improvements associated with a major initiative for the
strategic plan of TCC as outlined in the attached Policy Report .
2. TCC agrees to provide, in a timely fashion and in a format suggested by the City,
its annual request for capital funding.
3. The appropriation process ofthe Commonwealth involves the appropriation offunds
for both maintenance and operation of the Virginia Beach Campus, and for
construction of its buildings. It is understood and agreed by TCC that the City shall
be bound and obligated hereunder only to the extent that funds shall be
appropriated and budgeted for particular projects pursuant to Article VII, Section 10
of the Constitution of Virginia and subject to appropriation by City Council.
4. The appropriation process of the Commonwealth is summarized in the biennial
budget bill. The biennial budget bill typically provides, in pertinent part:
"Expenditure for land acquisition, site preparation beyond five feet from a
building, and the construction of additional outdoor lighting, sidewalks, outdoor
athletic and recreational facilities, and parking lots in the Community College
system shall be made only from appropriated Trust & Agency Funds, including
local government allocations and appropriations, or the proceeds of
indebtedness authorized by the General Assembly. ."
5. Both parties agree to coordinate lobbying efforts with the General Assembly
delegation and the new Governor for inclusion in the State's capital program.
6. The City may provide funding for site acquisition and site preparation beyond five
feet from the campus buildings provided that there are sufficient funds appropriated
by the Commonwealth for the campus buildings for the purposes requested.
7. Because local funds may, consistent.with the biennial budget bill, be appropriated
and allocated to the Trust and Agency Funds to be spent at TCC, both parties agree
that the State Board for Community Colleges, as provided in Chapter 16 of Title 23
of the Code of Virqinia, is the appropriate body to contract for the design and
construction of site improvements five feet from the campus buildings. TCC will be
solely responsible for all legal and risk management issues associated with the
design, construction and operation of these facilities.
8. TCC will be responsible for ensuring that the design, construction, and inspection
of site improvements shall be performed in accordance with state procurement code
and state and local regulations.
9. TCC agrees to provide appropriate documentation to the City verifying that City-
provided funds were expended for the intended purpose. This documentation may
include, but shall not be limited to, copies of bids, contracts, and final payments.
10. In furtherance of the City's plan for the Princess Anne Commons and TCC's
strategic and master plans, the City also agrees to use its best efforts to purchase
properties or obtain an option for the properties labeled as Parcel A, Parcel 8,
Parcel C, Parcel E, Parcel F and Parcel G as outlined on a map entitled Tidewater
Community College (Appendix D map prepared by the City's Center for GIS).
11. Due to imminent development potential, the City will use its best efforts to purchase
Parcel E during FY 2001-2002. With the adoption of this Policy ReportlTerm-Sheet,
City Council will be forwarded an Agenda Request/Ordinance appropriating funds
for this purpose. The City will use its best efforts to purchase Parcels F and G
during FY 2002-2003, and Parcels A, B, and C during FY 2003-2004.
12. Once the City acquires title to anyone of the parcels enumerated above, the City
will effect a transfer of title to the State Board for Community Colleges. If funds are
not appropriated by the General Assembly within six years from the date title was
transferred to the State Board for Community Colleges by the City, the title may, at
the City's option, revert back to the City.
13. If any parcel of property is planned to be used for non-educational purposes, the
arrangements for transfer of its title shall be determined collaboratively between the
City and TCC with a mutually agreed sharing of the subsequent revenue stream, if
any.
14. Both parities agree that this Term-Sheet may be revised by mutual agreement, in
writing, as circumstances may dictate.
15. The following schedule details the proposed timing of both party's funding:

Red: Tax-Eiempt Revenue Bonds by SPSA (TEFRA-Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act)
Dear .flilre:
Th SA Board of Directors has expressed its intention to issue certain tax-exempt revenue bonds
up to $13.5 million to finance a portion of its FY 2009 Capital Improvements Program
(approximately $26.1 million in total). State and federal law requires SPSA to conduct a public
hearing and to vote publicly prior to issuance of the tax-exempt bonds.
In addition, the law also requires approval from each respective local governing body in which any
of the capital projects are proposed to be financed with proceeds from the tax-exempt bonds.
Following public notice, SPSA will convene the required public hearing on September 15, 2008.
No public hearing is required by the individual localities. The SPSA Board expects to approve the
financing at its next regular meeting on September 24, 2008.
Because a portion of the proceeds will be used to finance certain capital expenditures in Virginia
Beach, it is necessary for your Council to approve the financing. We ask that your Council
authorize the adoption of the attached resolution in support of the issuance of the tax exempt bonds
as noted above and herein.
Please be aware that SPSA's Board has approved its FY2009 Capital Budget. This resolution
relates only to tax exempt financing for certain of those approved capital expenditures. If you were
to decide to not approve this Resolution, the capital expenditures will still be made and the
financing will still proceed, but the portion devoted to the Virginia Beach capital expenditures
would have to be financed as a "taxable" bond issue, at a higher cost to the SPSA member
communities. Accordingly, because it reduces the expense of borrowing, it is clearly in all
members' best interest to approve the resolution.
Appended is a draft form of the resolution for your City Council, along with a fiscal impact
statement, certificate of adoption of resolution, and a memorandum from SPSA's bond counsel
explaining the TEFRA process.
Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions or concerns.

CC:
FROM:
DATE:
As bond counsel to the Southeastern Public Service Authority of Virginia, I am providing
the following background for SPSA's request that each of the six addressees, where portions of
certain proposed FY2009 capital improvements to SPSA's Disposal System are located, grant
the "host approval"' required by federal and state law. The particular capital improvements in
SPSA's approved capital budget for its FY2009, located or to be located in your communities
and included as part of SPSA 's "Disposal System," are described in Exhibit A to the suggested
fOlm of proceedings provided to you. Capital improvements to SPSA's Power Plant cannot be
tinanced with tax-exempt debt (because it does not meet the detinition ofa "solid waste t~lcilityl.,
or a functionally related and subordinate annex thereto).
Virginia law [Va. Code 915.2-4906 and -4907) and the Treasury regulations relating to
the so-calkd TEFRA 2 approval process were designed primarily to assure that issuers, without
elected ofticials (such as industrial development authorities), of industrial development bonds
could not authorize such bonds before receiving input trom a public hearing and approval of the
elected ofticials in the communities where the facilities were to be located (host approval).
Because SPSA receives significant revenue pursuant to more than one-year contracts with
private entities such as the United States Navy and Virginia Power, SPSA's bonds arc private
activity hands subject to the TEFRA approval process if the interest thereon is to be tax-exempt.
The Virginia statute also requires that SPSA provide you, at the same time you consider
adoption of the proposed resolution granting TEFRA approval, with an "impact" statement and
an extract of the testimony from the public hearing SPSA is scheduled to hold 011 September 15.
I Secrions ] 41 (el( I) and ]42(a)(6), Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
2 The acronym for the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1984. TEFRA imposed the public hearing and
host approval requirements on what were then "industrial development bonds" and are now called "private activity
bonds" See IRe section 147(t)(2) and the regulations thereunder.
I I
SIDi~UEYI
The impact statement is appended. A summary of the comments of anyone who appears and
speaks at SPSA's public hearing on September 15 will be furnished you immediately attcr the
hearing.
As you consider adoption of the suggested resolution, please understand that 'the
consequence of your adoption of the requested resolution (TEFRA approval) is that SPSA may
finance the Disposal System improvements in your community on a tax-exempt basis. Your
failure to approve will cause SPSA to include such improvements with its Power Plant
improvemcnts in the taxablc borrowing that does not require TEFRA approval.
If, hypothetically, one community that is host to capital improvements that cost $500,000
declined to provide the TEFRA approval required for SPSA to issue tax-exempt bonds tor such
improvements, and the cost were instead to be financed with taxable bonds and amortized with a
four-year average life, SPSA, and the applicable localities through their tipping fees, would pay
an additional $40,000 in interest expense on the taxable bonds (assuming a 2% spread between
SPSA's tax-exempt and taxable borrowing rates),
The proceedings that SPSA is providing to you are closely modeled on those you were
provided in the fall of 2007, when each of SPSA's host localities gave approval for SPSA's
capital improvements in its community and thereby enabled SPSA to issue $25,145,000 of its
bonds for its FY2008 capital program on a tax-exempt basis.
SPSA will greatly appreciate your adopting the suggested resolution on or prior to
September 23, 2008. The SPSA Board expects to consider a resolution on September 24, 2008
that will authorize (A) taxable bonds for the Power Plant improvements and any improvements
to the Disposal System for which host approval is not timely received and (B) tax-exempt AMT
bonds for the improvements to the Disposal System for which host approval is timely received.
If you have any questions respecting SPSA's proposed financing. please feel free to
contact Walt Hunter. the CFO of SPSA. If your attorneys have any questions respecting the
suggested form of your resolution, please ask them to call me at 212-838-5323.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance authorizing an amendment to the Multi-Year Agreement
between the United States of America and the City of Virginia Beach for
Encroachment Partnering funds in the Inter-facility Traffic Area, to increase
the Navy's obligation by approximately $4,000,000
MEETING DATE: September 23,2008
· Background: On September 25,2007, the City Council adopted Ordinance 3000B,
which authorized the City Manager to execute on behalf of the City an agreement
with the United States of America, Department of the Navy (the "Navy") in which the
Navy and the City agreed that the City would convey to the Navy restrictive
easements over property the City acquires in the Inter-facility Traffic Area (the "ITA"),
and the Navy would pay the lesser of the fair market value of the easement or 50%
of the City's acquisition cost of each ITA property (the "Encroachment Partnering
Agreement").
The Encroachment Partnering Agreement provided that the Navy would provide
initial funding in the amount of $3,000,000 and that additional funds were being
sought and would be accomplished by a modification of the Encroachment
Partnering Agreement.
The Navy has applied for, and the federal government intends to approved,
additional funding of approximately $4,000,000, and has requested a modification of
the Encroachment Partnering Agreement to increase the Navy's intended obligation
from $3,000,000 to approximately $7,072,050, or to the extent such funds are
obligated by the federal government. The exact additional amount will be
determined as available funds are obligated at the end of the Federal fiscal year.
The Navy's fiscal year ends September 30, and the amendment to the Agreement
must be signed on behalf of the City prior to that date.
There are additional willing sellers in the ITA, but at this time there are insufficient
funds in the ITA Acquisition Program to acquire these properties.
Amending the Encroachment Partnering Agreement is in accordance with the City's
on-going efforts to partner with the Navy to retain NAS Oceana as the East Coast
Master Jet Base and is an effective means of accomplishing the shared goal of
preventing future encroachment around the bases.
· Considerations: In May 2005, the Cities of Virginia Beach, Chesapeake and
Norfolk adopted the Hampton Roads Joint Land Use Study (JLUS), which
recommended the cities take certain steps to limit encroachment to protect the
public and the mission of NAS Oceana and Fentress, including acquiring property in
the ITA.
The ITA is an area that is largely undeveloped and presents the best opportunity to
prevent future incompatible development.
· Recomendations: Authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the
Encroachment Partnering Agreement with the Navy.
· Attachments: Ordinance .

PUBLIC COMMENT
Michael Martinette, Jr. 700 Virginia Beach Boulevard, Phone; 423-4843. Today, Mr. Martinette spoke
with the Tidewater Dental Association and suggested the Oberndorf/Jones Free Dental Clinic. The
Secretary will petition four hundred (400) of the members and an additional one thousand (1,000)
members to perform free dental care for the City of Virginia Beach. Norfolk has a program, in which a
fee of $15 is charged for extractions. In Chesapeake, if an individual is eligible for Medicare or
Medicaid, dental care cannot be received free of charge. This is a "Catch 22". A letter needs to be
drafted and he will advise the address of the Executive Director - Dental Association. Mr. Martinette
will provide the information to the Mayor.
