CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING
NOISE ORDINANCE
ITEM # 58773
3:00 P.M.
City Attorney Mark Stiles advised on April 17, 2009, the Supreme Court of Virginia recently held that the
City's noise ordinance is unconstitutional because its prohibition of "unreasonable loud and
unnecessary noise" is too vague to provide citizens notice of when their conduct would violate the
ordinance. This Ordinance has been in existence for many years, This language rejected by the Supreme
Court is referred to as a "reasonable person" standard and, until now has been commonly employed by
localities throughout Virginia. Since this occurrence, the office has proceeded to seek reconsideration of
the decision by the Supreme Court. In the meantime, the City Attorney recognizes that until and unless
there is a reconsideration or some other type of action by the Court, there is no enforceable regulation
governing excessive noise in the City.
The Proposed ordinance, scheduled for today's Formal City Council Session, utilizes sound pressure
levels (decibel meter readings) and audible distance measurements to determine violations.
The proposed ordinance is the synthesis of a decibel based ordinance utilized by the City of
Charlottesville and provisions drawn from a model ordinance prepared by the International Municipal
Lawyers Association ("IMLA ")
Challenges
.
Acquisition of sound level meters and training officers in their use
Acquainting our citizens with the new standards
Ensuring that sound levels utilized are appropriate.

As noted, there is an exception for City sponsored or permitted events. It is not uncommon for the City to
reserve to itself the right to sponsor activities which would violate the provisions of the noise ordinance.
It is necessary to have this exception, otherwise events the public very much enjoys on public property
could not take place i.e. this past weekend the City hosted a Monster Truck Show. This event could not
take place if not for the exception.
S 23-72 Restaurants and Bars

Applicable only after 11:00 P.M.
Sound level over 75 dBA when measured from any public area, or
Sound plainly audible from another property at distance of fifty (50) feet or more from

This provision (S 23-72) is drawn from the Charlottesville Ordinance.

CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING
NOISE ORDINANCE
ITEM # 58773 (Continued)
Penalty
· A first offense under this ordinance would be Class 3 misdemeanor punishable by a fine of
up to $500
· A second, or subsequent offense within one year, would be a Class 2 misdemeanor punishable by
afine of up to $1,000 and/or ajail term of up to six months
In addition, the City may seek an injunction against continuing violations of the ordinance
City Attorney Stiles advised one of the provisions provides the Police Chief will issue regulations
concerning calibration and use of the sound meters, This City Council will set the perimeters for noise
enforcement.
Police Chief A.M Jacocks advised Councilman Wood the equipment costs between $3,400 and $6,000
per unit. Tis is more expensive than anticipated. The type purchased at local radio supply stores would
not be appropriate for enforcement. The intent would be to purchase one (1) device for each of the four
(4) precincts, which would be brought to the scene of any potential violation. However, the Police hope to
seek voluntary compliance by giving a warning.
City Attorney Stiles advised the regulation of sound coming from an audio device within a vehicle is
measured or will be determined utilizing the audibility standard. This is the last City Council voting
session prior to the Memorial Day weekend and the commencement of the Summer Season. For these
reasons, the time and ability to seek citizen comment has not been available. This Ordinance, however,
has been advocated by a number of businesses in the Resort area. This Ordinance could be adopted on
May Twelfth and as the enforcement is reviewed, this Ordinance could be amended. Forty (40)
jurisdictions throughout Virginia are also adopting noise ordinances, It is important to have an
Ordinance in place by the Memorial Day Weekend.
Chief Jacocks advised the City Attorney was requested to craft an ordinance as quickly as possible prior
to the Summer Season.
Councilman Dyer suggested the procedure be examined, as Public Comment should be prior to the vote.
Councilman Davis attended a Homeowners Association meeting approximately two (2) weeks ago which
encompassed an hour of Questions and Answers. The members were interested in having a noise
ordinance in place as quickly as possible, Councilman Wood attended a Civic League meeting and
concurred re complaints of noise and the need for the Ordinance.
Council Lady Wilson suggested this Ordinance be adopted, and perhaps after Labor Day hold a Town
Hall meeting or some type of Public Hearing for comments concerning the effectiveness of this
Ordinance.
Councilman Villanueva expressed concern re enacting this Ordinance and then conducting a Town Hall
Meeting.

CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
ITEM # 58774
3:48 P.M.
Mayor Sessoms advised he WELCOMED the JOINT WARFIGHTING CONFERENCE at the
Virginia Beach Convention Center, this morning, May 12, 2009. The Conference is being held May 12-
14, 2009: "Building a Balanced Joint Force: How Best to Meet Demands of the Future Security
Environment?"
There were nine hundred (900) or more attendees than the June Conference. This is a "conference
within a conference" This format allows small businesses the opportunity to maximize their time by
attending small business training sessions and participating in a larger conference and exhibition as well.
All of the comments re service and facility were positive, Many of the attendees were from Northern
Virginia. The businesses selling to the Military wished to be in Virginia Beach. With City Council's
concurrence, the Mayor will request Economic Development needs to focus on bringing these businesses
from Northern Virginia to Hampton Roads (Virginia Beach particularly).
A large number of the participants live in Virginia Beach, but have apartments in Northern Virginia, as
their Corporation is located in that vicinity.

INVOCATION.' Associate Pastor Larry Russell
Freewill Baptist Church
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Mayor Sessoms DISCLOSED as an officer of TowneBank (which has a corporate office located at 297
Constitution Drive in Virginia Beach), he is directly and indirectly involved in many of TowneBank's
transactions. However, due to the size of TowneBank and the volume of transactions it handles,
TowneBank has an interest in numerous matters in which he is not personally involved and of which he
does not have personal knowledge. In that regard, he is always concerned about the appearance of
impropriety that might arise if he unknowingly participates in a matter before City Council in which
TowneBank has an interest. Mayor Sessoms also has similar concerns with respect to Prudential Towne
Realty, which is an affiliate of TowneBank. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and
spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act (the "Act 'J, it is his practice to
thoroughly review each City Council agenda to identifY any matters in which he might have an actual or
potential conflict. If, during his review of an agenda, he identifies a matter in which he has a "personal
interest ", as defined by the Act, he will either abstain from voting, or file the appropriate disclosure letter
with the City Clerk to be included in the official records of City Council. Mayor Sessoms' letter of
March 24, 2009, is hereby made a part of the record.
Vice Mayor Jones DISCLOSED, for many years, he served on the Board of Directors of Resource Bank.
Three (3) years ago, Fulton Financial Corporation ("Fulton Financial") purchased Resource Bank. On
March 31, 2007, Vice Mayor Jones retired from the Board of Directors. Although, he is no longer a
Board Member, he owns stock in Fulton Financial, and that stock ownership causes him to have a
"personal interest" in Fulton Financial. However, due to the size of Fulton Financial and the volume of
transactions it handles in any given year, Fulton Financial, or any of the banks that are owned by Fulton
Financial, may have an interest in numerous matters in which Vice Mayor Jones has no personal
knowledge. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local
Government Conflict of Interests Act, it is his practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting
of City Council for the purpose of identifYing any matters in which he might have an actual or potential
conflict, If, during his review, he identifies any matters, Vice Mayor Jones will prepare and file the
appropriate disclosure letter to be recorded in the official records of City Council. Vice Mayor Jones
regularly makes this disclosure. Vice Mayor Jones' letter of April 10, 2007, is hereby made a part of the
record.

Council Lady Rosemary Wilson DISCLOSED her husband is a principal in the accounting firm of
Goodman and Company and is directly and indirectly involved in many of Goodman and Company's

Council Lady Wilson's letter of January 27, 2004, is hereby made a part of the record.
Council Lady Rosemary Wilson DISCLOSED she is a Real Estate Agent affiliated with Prudential

ensure her compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of

PUBLIC HEARING
ITEM # 58783
Mayor Sessoms DECLARED A PUBLIC HEARING:
FY 2009-2010 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
The following registered to speak:
Keith Arnold, 1704 Eastborne Drive, Phone; 721-2543, Supervisor of the Fire and Life Safety Education
Office. Mr. Arnold expressed concern re the proposal to eliminate one (1) position from the Life Safety
Education, equating to less than one-tenth of 1% of the Fire Department budget ($1.33 per citizen for the
programs delivered, less than $50,000). The National Fire Protection Association states that young
children and older adults are the greatest risk for loss of life and energy due to fire, The programs of
Fire and Life Safety address these areas, If this position is lost, sixteen (16) elementary schools have to be
absorbed into a current program. Over 1,680 fewer senior citizens will receive fire and fault prevention
education, as well as over 1, 225 fewer preschoolers. 3,700 fewer citizens in the community outreach
programs and 127 fewer special needs citizens. 26.000 K - 3 Children in the City will have the program
reduced to a one person presentation. 10,000 Fourth Grade Students will receive the shortened Fire
Safety Education Program, Over the past fifteen (15) years, there has not been an increase in staff, but
there has been an increase of over 41,000 citizens in Virginia Beach and nine (9) new elementary schools
have been added. Service delivery has been increased by 51% to the citizens.
Jackie Bowe, 1017 Fairlawn Avenue, Phone: 461-2958, represented the Union Kempsville High School
and Museum group in the City. A significant part of the history of this City is requested to be saved. At the
time, Union Kempsville was the only Minority High School in this entire City. This Museum would house
the artifacts of the School and represent all citizens. This would be an educational base for all students.
Edna M Hendrix, 965 Northwood Drive, Phone: 417-0565, local Historian who has compiled the history
of Princess Anne County Training School. Ms, Hendrix requested all stand in support. Ms. Hendrix
advised her father and brothers attended this school. This was the first and only American High School
for African-Americans. A curator is needed to assure the correct history. Revenue would result in behalf
of the City.
There being no further speakers, Mayor Sessoms CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING
Lynn Clements, Director - Museums. advised in June 2005, the Virginia Beach Schools explored ways
to commemorate and honor the Princess Anne Training School - Union Kempsville High School, which
served African-American students from the 1930 's until 1969 (during the period of segregation and
education). The school system is planning a $65-MILLION Renaissance High School project that will
essentially destroy the remaining sections of the original school building located at Witchduck Road and
Cleveland Street. The Committee has met regularly since its organization and meetings have included
field trips to the Brewton High School in Williamsburg, which was also a segregation area school for
Black students and the surviving Union Kempsville building. Many of the Committee Members are in
attendance and in SUP PORT of this project. It was determined through investigation by an Architectural
Historian that the surviving building was altered considerably and little architecture integrity remains,
The School system will replicate the central part of the original building off the main lobby of the new
school building that will be constructed on site, This will provide a 3,000 square foot area that will be
usedfor displays and exhibits re the historic schools, the faculty, students, activities and community,
which are part of their history, Thisfacility will also provide seatingfor approximately 50 people in the
auditorium area for viewing a video presentation on the history of the school. The new facility is planned
to open in January.

PUBLIC HEARING
ITEM # 58783 (Continued)
The City operates three (3) historic house Museums and the Virginia Aquarium. Ms. Clements'
department agreed a long time ago to manage the operations of this new facility. The Department of
Museums participated in the elimination of a staffperson as did other departments. One of the Educators
will be eliminated. There are three (3) existing positions as Museum Educators, one of which has been
filled. There are two (2) vacant positions. One of the vacant positions will be eliminated. However,
other position will be hired. There will be two (2) full time Educators, part time staff and wonderful
volunteers. With redeployment of existing resources, the operation of the Museum will be covered and the
community will be proud
Councilman Villanueva advised, on behalf of himself, the Minority Business Council and our Human
Rights Commission Liaisons, an invitation was extended to support this effort. The City's is co-
sponsoring the City's Black Expo at the Convention Center in August and the Minority Business Expo in
November.
Concerning the Fire Education and Life Safety position, the City Manager advised the plan is to
challenge the staff to be creative and involve either retired educators from the School system, or retired
fire fighters to supplement the staff re this education.
Council Lady Henley advised it was agreed that a report would be provided prior to this Operating
Budget taking effect, to determine success in attracting the Volunteers necessary to complete the void.
This report SHALL be provided by July First.

BEACH, VIRGINIA:
1. Issuance of Bonds. There shall be issued, pursuant to the Constitution and
statutes of the Commonwealth of Virginia, including the City Charter (Chapter 147 of the Acts of
the General Assembly of 1962, as amended) and the Public Finance Act of 1991 (Chapter 26, Title

2007 and May 13, 2008 (collectively, the "Project"), and the costs incurred in connection with
issuing the Bonds.
2. Bond Details. The Bonds shall be designated "General Obligation Public
Improvement Bonds, Series 2009," or such other designation as may be determined by the City
Manager, shall be in registered form, shall be dated such date as may be determined by the City
Manager, shall be in denominations of $5,000 and integral multiples thereof and shall be
numbered R-l upward. Subject to Section 8, the issuance and sale of the Bonds are authorized on

premium), (b) shall be sold to the purchaser thereof at a price not less than 99.0% of the principal
amount thereof, (c) shall be subject to optional redemption beginning no later than and continuing

dates determined by the City Manager. Principal shall be payable to the registered owners upon
surrender of Bonds as they become due at the office of the Registrar (as hereinafter defined).

nominee. 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 5; 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
is or immediately precedes the date on which the Bonds are authenticated (unless payment of
-2-
"I
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 7.
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. Redemption Provisions.
(a) Optional Redemption. The 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 and after dates, if any,
determined by the City Manager, with the first such optional redemption date beginning no later
than June 1, 2019 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.
(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.
-3-
II
( 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Pledee of Full Faith and Credit. The full faith and credit of the City are
irrevocably pledged for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds. Unless other funds are lawfully available and appropriated for timely payment of the
Bonds, the City Council shall 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 when due the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Bonds.
7. Reeistration. Transfer and Owners of Bonds. The City Treasurer IS

time to rebate to the United States any part of the earnings derived from the investment of the
gross proceeds of the Bonds, unless the City receives an opinion of nationally recognized bond

includable in the gross income of the registered owners thereof under existing law. The City shall
pay any such required rebate from its legally available funds.
14. Non-Arbitra2e Certificate and Elections. Such officers of the City as may be

such form as may be requested by bond counsel for the City.
15. Limitation on Private Use. The City covenants that it shall not permit the
proceeds of the Bonds or the facilities financed or refinanced with the proceeds of the Bonds to be
used in any manner that would result in (a) 5% or more of such proceeds or of the facilities
financed or refinanced with such proceeds being used in a trade or business carried on by any
person other than a governmental unit, as provided in Section 141 (b) of the Code, (b) 5% or more
of such proceeds or the facilities being financed with such proceeds being used with respect to any
output facility (other than a facility for the furnishing of water), within the meaning of Section
-6-
II
141(b)(4) of the Code, or (c) 5% or more of such proceeds being used directly or indirectly to
make or finance loans to any person other than a governmental unit, as provided in Section 141 (c)
of the Code; provided, that if the City receives an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel
that any such covenants need not be complied with to prevent the interest on the Bonds from being
includable in the gross income for federal income tax purposes of the registered owners thereof
under existing law, the City need not comply with such covenants.
16. Investment Authorization. The City Council hereby authorizes the Director of
Finance to direct the City Treasurer to utilize either or both of the State Non-Arbitrage Program of
the Commonwealth of Virginia ("SNAP") and the Virginia Arbitrage & Investment Management
Program ("AIM") in connection with the investment of the proceeds of the Bonds, if the City
Manager and the Director of Finance determine that the utilization of either SNAP or AIM is in
the best interest of the City. The City Council acknowledges that the Treasury Board of the
Commonwealth of Virginia is not, and shall not be, in any way liable to the City in connection

6. There is also a side benefit to issuers oftax-exempt bonds from the use ofBABs
in the market place by larger issuers. As a result of the decline in volume caused
by the amount of taxable BABs that have been sold, among other factors, tax-
exempt interest rates have improved, providing reasonably low debt service
charges for traditional sellers of tax-exempt bonds. For example, we expect that
the City could sell its envisioned twenty-year bond issue today at a true interest
cost no greater than 3.80%. We can not promise that this will be the rate on June
3rd when the bond issue is sold, but the current interest rate environment is
particularly attractive.
7. Virginia Beach has the advantage of being able to watch the developing BAB
market to determine if changes in the call structure, the maturity structure, and
related factors could, over time, make BABs more accommodative for City
purposes. As shown above, there are a series of factors that underlie our
conclusion that, at present, we would not recommend the City employ BAB bonds
for the 2009 sale. We also think that the currently positive interest rate
environment for tax-exempt bonds argues quite persuasively for the continuing
use of the tax-exempt market for Virginia Beach.

2. Most of the BAB debt has been sold with term bonds, either in the form of a
bullet maturity or with maturities starting very near the final maturity. While
there have been some maturities in the shorter end of the maturity range, such as
2014, they have generally been bullet maturities. Taxable buyers are generally
interested only in large principal amounts in one maturity to assist in
marketability. The issuance oflong-dated term bonds would adversely affect the
City's debt repayment structure, which has been a key factor in achieving and
maintaining a triple-A rating classification.
3. As implied by (1) and (2) above, the bond issues that have employed BABs have
been very large - the State of California ($6.85 billion), NY Metropolitan Transit
Authority ($750 million), and the New Jersey Turnpike Authority ($1.375
billion). The University of Virginia did sell a bond issue, utilizing BABs, in the
amount of $250 million, but the maturity was in 2039.
4. Another critical factor impacting Virginia Beach is the fact that BAB debt can
not, under most circumstances, be refunded for interest savings to the issuer. It is
not a function of the BAB program; rather, the taxable market does not provide
for calling bonds at par in ten years, unlike the flexibility that is allowed in the
tax-exempt market. The conventional call in the taxable market consists of a
"make-whole" provision - this characteristic eliminates present value savings for
the issuer; in the taxable bond market, where the "make-whole" provision exists,
the investor receives all of the present value savings if a call occurs.
The City has routinely taken advantage of refinancing opportunities over the years
to reduce its debt service charges. We have prepared an exhibit that illustrates
how often Virginia Beach has recently employed refinancings for this purpose. It
appears to us that the elimination of any ability to achieve refinancing savings as
interest rates change over time is not a program that would, based on history, be
attractive to the City.
5. The maximum interest rate advantage in utilizing BABs with the 35% interest rate
was computed by the University of Virginia at 71 basis points (determined based
on a taxable rate for a 2039 maturity with the subsidy, compared with a presumed
tax-exempt rate). Other issuers ofBABs have experienced lower, some much
lower, interest rate advantage - some even at a negative value. Based on the
transactions that have come to market, we do not envision a cost advantage to
Virginia Beach with its traditional amortization schedule; moreover, even if the
City decided to alter its repayment structure to do a bullet maturity, we do not
think Virginia Beach would receive a major advantage from BAB debt since the
amount of any term maturity would not be equivalent in size to any BAB debt
issues that were especially helped by the BAB structure.

TO: PATRICIA A. PHILLIPS; RICHARD N. DUNFORD
FROM: J. CHESTER JOHNSON
SUBJECT: USE OF BUILD AMERICA BONDS
Build America Bonds ("BABs") were included in the economic stimulus program
(American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) recently enacted by the Federal
Government. They can be used by entities that otherwise are authorized to sell tax-
exempt debt; however, BABs are sold as taxable instruments with an interest rate subsidy
paid directly by the Federal Government to the issuer or with a Federal tax credit that can
be used by the investor. Virtually all of the BAB debt sold so far has consisted of the
program providing for an interest rate subsidy being paid directly by the Federal
Government to the issuer of the BABs. There are numerous administrative and
procedural characteristics to BAB issuance, but the most important are: (i) the taxable
nature ofthe obligation, (ii) the 35% interest rate subsidy, and (iii) the fact that the debt
can only be used for new capital projects (not for any refundings).
It should be noted that BABs are consistent with U. S. Treasury Department debt and tax
policy that has been articulated strongly in both Democratic and Republican
Administrations. For many years, Treasury has viewed negatively the use of tax-
exemption, since, from its perspective, there is a greater loss of revenue through tax-
exemption than there would be supporting taxable issuance with a direct appropriation
subsidy at a level around 30-35%. Treasury's proposal has taken the form ofa taxable
bond option, such as the direct subsidy to the issuer, and a tax credit program, which is
part of the BAB authorization, but which has also been used in the last few years in a
program employed by some school districts, known as "QZAB" debt. The recently
authorized program has already had its effect on reducing tax-exempt issuance-
Bloomberg has, over the last few days, indicated that tax-exempt debt sales for the 2009
calendar year is already down by 29% from last year. This decline in tax-exempt
issuance can be explained, in large part, by the recent significant issuance of taxable BAB
debt.
The more immediate question is: Should Virginia Beach use BABs for its current bond
issue? Our view is that, at present, the City is better served by selling its debt on a tax-
exempt basis. The reasons are as follows:
1. Most of the advantage of BABs is on the longest part of the yield curve. The vast
majority of the BAB debt has been issued with maturities extending beyond 2030,
even to 2040. The final maturity for the City's proposed issue is inside 2030.

ITEM: A Resolution providing for the Issuance and Sale of General Obligation Public
Improvement Bonds, Series 2009, in the maximum amount of $80,000,000.
MEETING DATE:
May 12, 2009
. Background: Based on a review of capital project expenditures and future CIP
needs, the Department of Finance has begun preparations for a general obligation new
money bond sale in the amount up to $80 million. The Bond sale is composed of
portions of 2006, 2007 & 2008 Charter Bond Authorizations previously approved by
Council on May 9, 2006, on May 15, 2007 and on May 13, 2008 respectively. The bond
proceeds from the proposed sale will reimburse previous expenditures for those
authorized projects. Based on current market conditions, the City's Financial Advisor,
Government Finance Associates ("GFA"), have recommended that this sale take place
on June 3, 2009. In addition, GFA has prepared the attached letter on the use of Build
America Bonds. Based on the reasons outlined in the letter, it is GFA's opinion and
recommendation that the City continue to use the traditional tax-exempt bond market for
this sale.
A draft of the Preliminary Official Statement indicating the preliminary sale
amount of $72 million is also enclosed. On the sale date if market conditions are
favorable the City may increase the principal amount by 10%, thus the authorization of
up to $80 million.
. Considerations: The new money sale represents the City's annual general
obligation bond sale. The City's Bond Counsel, Troutman Sanders, has prepared the
enclosed resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of the bonds. The bonds will be
sold by competitive bid with the actions of the City Manager being conclusive provided,
however, that the bonds shall have a true interest cost not to exceed 5.5 percent. The
proposed bond structure for the new money takes into consideration the proposed FY10
debt service budget. As an accommodation to bidders, the City will employ an
electronic bidding system in accordance with the Official Notice of Sale.
After today's Council action no further vote of the City Council will be necessary. The
final terms of each sale will be provided to City Council shortly following the sale.
. Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal
Council agenda process. The original Charter authorizations were a part of the public
information process for the City's Resources Management Plan (BudgetlCIP). In
addition, a Notice of Sale will be placed in The Bond Buver, a daily newspaper for the
tax-exempt bond market.
; I
II
. Alternatives: There are no practical alternative funding sources at this time.
This request follows previously approved CIPs.
. Recommendations: The enclosed resolution providing for the bond sale in the
maximum amount of $80 million is recommended for City Council approval.

68
69 Sec. 9. No department or agency for which appropriations are made under the provisions of this
70 ordinance shall exceed the amount of such appropriations except with the consent and approval of the City

73 not apply to Interfund Transfers.
74
75 Sec. 10. The City Manager or the Director of Management Services is hereby authorized to approve
76 transfers of appropriations in an amount up to $100,000 between any Appropriation Units included in this
77 ordinance. The City Manager shall make a monthly report to the City Council of all transfers between $25,000

90 Estimated Revenue. The City Manager shall give prior notice to the City Council of any reduction to total
91 appropriations exceeding $100,000. The notice to City Council shall identify the basis and amount of the
92 appropriation reduction and the Appropriation Units affected. The accounting records of the City will be
93 maintained in a manner that the total of Estimated Revenue is equal to the total of the Appropriation Units for
94 each of the City's funds. The City Manager or the Director of Management Services is hereby authorized to
95 transfer any excess appropriations to the Reserve for Contingencies after all anticipated expenditures for which

103 forty two cents ($0.42) per mile of actual travel for the first 15,000 miles and fifteen cents ($0.15) per mile for
104 additional miles of such use within the fiscal year.
105
106 Sec. 14. In the event of an emergency and under emergency circumstances wherein the City Council
107 cannot reasonably hold a meeting, the City Manager is authorized to transfer and expend appropriated sums

114 expenditures occurred.
115
116 An emergency is defined for the purposes of this provIsion as an event that could not have been

April 28, 2009 City Council Meeting
STAFF PLANNER:
Faith Christie
SITE SIZE:
8,400 square feet
AICUZ:
Less than 65 dB DNL
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The applicant requests alterations to nonconforming
structures, a single-family dwelling and a detached garage.
The structures are nonconforming because they do not meet the required building setbacks in the R-5R
Residential Resort District. The applicant indicates the home was constructed in the 1940's by the
Eisenhower family. City real estate records for the site only go back to 1953, but do indicate
improvements were on the site at that time.
The applicant proposes a second and third floor addition to the existing dwelling. The second floor
addition will be in line with the existing building walls, which as shown in the table below (5.7 feet) does
not meet the required 8-foot setback for side yards in the R-5R Resort Residential District on the northern
side of the structure. The proposed addition, however, will not encroach any further into the required
setbacks than that which currently exists, and the third floor addition will actually meet the currently
required building setbacks.

Existing R-5R Requirement Proposed
Front Yard Setback 30.0 feet 20.0 feet 30.0 feet
Side Yard Setback 12.6 feet 8.0 feet 12.6 feet
(southern side)
Side Yard Setback 5.7 feet 8.0 feet 5.7 feet
(northern Side)
Setback adjacent to 56.1 feet 30.0 feet 56.1 feet
ocean
Additionally, the applicant desires to make a small addition to the existing detached garage. Currently the
existing garage is situated 2-feet from Ocean Front Avenue, 3-feet from the northern property line and 27-
feet from the southern property line. The current building setbacks for accessory structures in the R-5R
Residential Resort District is 20-foot front yard setback and 8-foot side yard setback. The proposed
addition is on the northwest corner of the existing building and will not meet the required building
setbacks. Again, the proposed addition will not encroach any further into the required setbacks than that
which currently exists.
As the northern side yard setback does not meet the current zoning regulations, the setback is
nonconforming, and the additions of the second and third floor to the main structure and the addition to
the detached garage require City Council approval.

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this request.
The Comprehensive Plan Map designates this site as being within the Primary Residential Area - North
Virginia Beach Site 11. The North Virginia Beach community encompasses a predominantly residential
area located on both sides of Atlantic Avenue from 42nd Street to 89th Street. It is characterized by a
compact arrangement of single-family and duplex units with much of the land zoned Residential Resort
District (R-5R).The land use planning policies and principles for the Primary Residential Area focus
strongly on preserving and protecting the overall character, economic value, and aesthetic quality of the
stable neighborhoods located in this area. The request for alteration and expansion of this nonconforming
use is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for this area.
In sum, the proposed additions are reasonable, will have a minimal impact, and should be as appropriate
to the district as the existing non-conforming structures. The request, therefore, is acceptable with the
conditions below.
CONDITIONS
1. The proposed additions shall substantially conform to the submitted site development plan entitled
"NON-CONFORMING USE EXHIBIT FOR BURKE RESIDENCE, #5504 OCEAN FRONT AVENUE",
dated March 17,2009, and prepared by WPL Landscape Architects, Land Surveyors, Engineers. Said
plan has been exhibited to the City of Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning
Department.
2. The proposed additions shall substantially conform to the submitted building elevations entitled
"SCHEMATIC DESING FOR ADDITION TO BURKE RESIDENCE, VIRGINA BEACH, VIRGINIA",
dated March 16,2009, and prepared by Lyall Design Architects. Said elevations have been exhibited
to the City of Virginia Beach City Council and are on file in the Planning Department.
NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances.
Plans submitted with this rezoning application may require revision during detailed site plan review to

AICUZ:
Less than 65 dB DNL
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The applicant deferred the request at the March 10th City Council meeting in order to provide additional
information regarding the setbacks of the structure. The previous owner provided the architectural plans
for the structure to the applicant. The applicant contacted the architect, Mr. William M. Wilshire, Jr.,
concerning the existing location of the home with regard to the setbacks. The architect states that his
architectural firm, Williams and Tazewell and Associates, was retained in 1977 by the previous owner to
prepare plans for additions to the home. To the best of his knowledge the plans were prepared in
accordance with a variance for setbacks approved by the Board of Zoning Appeals. The previous owner
retained Hoy Construction to obtain the building permit and construct the additions to the home. Again to
the best of Mr. Wilshire's knowledge the additions to the home were constructed in accordance with the
approved plans, variance to setbacks, and building permit.
The purpose of this request is to make alterations and additions to an existing nonconforming structure at
7300 73rd Street. The single-family dwelling was built in 1960 and is nonconforming with respect to the
required setbacks and lot coverage for single-family dwellings in the R-5R Residential Resort District. The
following compares the dimensional requirements in 1960, the dimensional requirements in the R-5R
District today, and the yard and coverage figures of the existing structure:

Lot Coverage No regulation 35% 35.5%
The applicant desires to add a second floor addition to the home. The addition will not encroach any
farther into the setbacks than what currently exists. The existing structure exceeds the allowable lot
coverage by 0.5 percent (80.3 square feet), but does not exceed the overall impervious cover allowance
(60%) or allowed floor area. The proposed exterior of the structure will be Hardiplank@ siding and roofing
shingles will match the existing roof. The proposed addition will contain a media / recreation room,
bedroom, his and her baths, dining area, and exercise room. Second floor covered porches over the
existing patio area will also be installed on each side of the structure. The existing first floor will be re-
configured to contain bedrooms, bathrooms, foyer / entryway, and kitchen.

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
The Comprehensive Plan Map designates this site as part of the Primary Residential Area - North
Virginia Beach Site 11. The North Virginia Beach community encompasses a predominantly residential
area located on both sides of Atlantic Avenue from 42nd Street to 89th Street. It is characterized by a
compact arrangement of single-family and duplex units with much of the land zoned Residential Resort
District (R-5R).The land use planning policies and principles for the Primary Residential Area focus
strongly on preserving and protecting the overall character, economic value and aesthetic quality of the
stable neighborhoods located in this area. The request for alteration and expansion of this nonconforming
use is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for this area.
The proposed enlargement is reasonable, will have a minimal impact, and should be as appropriate to the
district as the existing non-conforming structure. The request, therefore, is acceptable with the conditions
below.
CONDITIONS
1. The proposed addition shall be constructed substantially in accordance with the submitted physical
survey / zoning analysis plan entitled "LOTS 5 AND 6, BLOCK 1, SECTION E, CAPE HENRY", dated
October 10,2008 and prepared by Gallup Surveyors and Engineers, Ltd. Said plan has been exhibited
to the City of Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning Department.
2. The proposed addition shall be constructed substantially in accordance with the submitted elevation
plans entitled "ARMSTRONG ADDITION / RE-MODEL", dated July 22,2008 and prepared by
Redfearn Custom Designs. Said plans have been exhibited to the City of Virginia Beach City Council
and are on file in the Planning Department.
3. There shall be no second kitchen (i.e. cooking facility) in the dwelling.
NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances.
Plans submitted with this rezoning application may require revision during detailed site plan review to
meet all applicable City Codes and Standards.

evidence of such consent.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Harassment
Shelley Pendleton, 109 Spruce Court, Apartment 102, Phone: (757) 216-4188/(757) 839-6116,
Recently met with City representatives re a problem of harassment. However. the individual, because of a
busy schedule, had to transfer her case. Ms. Pendleton requested someone be assigned to attend to this
problem which is a daily occurrence. The Federal Bureau of Investigation told Ms. Pendleton not to
return. Ms. Pendleton requested a meeting with the Mayor and Police Chief
Councilman DeSteph and the City Manager met with Ms, Pendleton and then advised the Chief of Police.
Chief Jacocks will contact Ms. Pendleton.
Leslie Stukey, 2905 Sugar Maple Drive, Phone; 301-6885, retired Navy Veteran with a 100% disability,
Mrs. Stuckey reiterated her previous concerns. Mrs, Stukey advised she had appeared before City Council
about a year ago and no action has been taken to-date. Her husband is currently on his third overseas
tour. Mrs. Stukey's daughter. Elise, nine years old, was in attendance with her, Three (3) years ago on
December Eighteenth, at the age of six, a candy store clerk in Pembroke Mall assumed Elise had stolen
something and improperly searched her. No one assisted her, neither the Virginia Beach Police
Department, Magistrate's Office, District Attorney nor the Legislators. Three years later, Ms. Stukey was
pulled over by two (2) Police Officers, which turned into approximately twenty (20) Police Officers all
holding guns on her. She had only been leaving her Chiropractor's appointment. After she was found
innocent, she was informed there was a bank robbery on Virginia Beach Boulevard and her truck fit the
description of the vehicle. Executive Order 9808 "Freedom from Fear" was executed by the Late
President Truman. She has not experienced this since living in Virginia.
Life Saving Education
Debbie Hearst Gregory. 5584 Arboretum Avenue. Phone; 270-0965. Life Safety Education Specialist for
training. Mrs. Gregory referenced the proposal to eliminate one (1) position from the Life Safety
education, equating to less than one-tenth of 1% of the Fire Department budget. This commitment cannot
be tasked to Volunteers. The Specialists have to train the Fire Fighters how to deal with the Children.
There are only four (4) dedicated Specialists in the office.
Porch Variance
Amanda Fulton, 2204 East Brook Circle. Phone: 430-0460, resident of Red Mill Farms. January 2008,
she applied for a permit re an addition to the front porch. The request was denied. In April, she appeared
before the Zoning Board; however. the BZA granted her less square footage than requested. At the end
of the case, two (2) Board Members suggested that she appeal to City Council. Mrs. Fulton was granted a
6' x 12' (6-foot by 12-foot) porch. A parch of this size would be awkward in front of the windows, The
Fulton's are requesting an 8' x 30' (8-foot by 30-foot) porch. This size will architecturally compliment
the house. The Fultons are very involved in Virginia Beach and have fallen in love with this community.
Mrs. Fulton is a pre-school teacher.
Council Lady Henley requested an opinion relative the ordinance governing porches and why porches
which extend across the front of the house are prohibited.
The City Manager will confer with Council Lady Henley. Karen Lasley advised it is a set-back problem.
The ordinance will be reviewed.
