Flinchum introduced representatives: Martha McClees - Virginia Beach Vision; Pete Kotarides - TBA;

History of the Virginia Beach Roundtable
. The Virginia Beach Roundtable is an informal affiliation of business and leadership groups
that held its first meeting in 1999
. The group's first initiative was the development of a campaign that stressed the importance of
economic development and visitor attraction in the Fall of 1999
. Other Roundtable activities have included: City Council candidate interviews, "Get Out the
Vote campaigns", voter attitude research, involvement in the BRAC process and development
of business priorities for City Council's consideration

CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING
BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE PRIORITIES
ITEM # 59020 (Continued)
Business Roundtable Priorities for
Virginia Beach City Council Consideration
Regional Task Force on Transportation:
. The business community and local governments in the Hampton Roads region agree that we have
reached a point of crisis with regard to our transportation infrastructure. In order to provide a
safe evacuation route for residents, provide adequate channels for the distribution of goods
coming into our ports, to allow citizens to travel to andfrom work, school, and recreational
events around the region in a reasonable amount of time and to encourage the attraction of new
industry to the area, it is imperative that we seekfundingfor transportation improvements in
Hampton Roads.
. City Council should convene a Regional Task Force of local elected officials, business leaders
and community leaders to determine a firm recommendation for a revenue source to support the
region's transportation priorities. Once determined, the taskforce should design and implement
a strategic plan to advocate for that revenue source to citizens through a grassroots initiative and
to state legislators through coordinated advocacy in preparation for and during the 2010
General Assembly session.
Higher Speed Rail extension to Hampton Roads:
. With $8-BILLION in stimulus funds earmarked for higher speed rail projects across the nation,
the possibility of a higher speed rail project from Washington D.C. to Hampton Roads has real
potential to be funded. One of the current proposed routes would align the higher speed rail line
along the current CSX/Amtrak route stopping on the Peninsula. South Hampton Roads has 70
percent of the 1.6-MILLION people in the region and 70 percent of its businesses. Most of the
region's port facilities are in Norfolk and Portsmouth and the region's most popular resort area
is in Virginia Beach, the state's largest city. Either the alternative route along Routes 460 and
58 continuing along the Norfolk Southern corridor or extending the line across the water into the
Southside would both ensure the inclusion of these residents and businesses.
. We urge the City Council to include extension of higher speed rail to Southside Hampton Roads
as a top priority in their federal legislative agenda. Further, we encourage the Council to work
with other local elected officials in Southside Hampton Roads to advocate to our Congressional
Delegation that they ensure the higher speed rail line does not exclude Southside Hampton
Roads.
Light Rail extension from Newtown area to the Oceanfront
. Virginia Beach City Council should aggressively continue efforts to secure the Norfolk Southern
right-of-way necessary to support a mass transit corridor adjacent to the 1-264 alignment and
pursue state and federal funding necessary to complete planning and project construction. The
City should concurrently support efforts to study extension of the light rail line to the Norfolk
Naval Base and for an expanded system that would ultimately serve as an alternative
transportation system connecting major destinations throughout the greater Hampton Roads
region.
July 14, 2009

CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING
BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE PRIORITIES
ITEM # 59020 (Continued)
Light Rail extension from Newtown area to the Oceanfront
. City Council is encouraged to refrain from holding a public referendum. We have a
representative form of government and our elected leaders should base their support for light rail
on the findings of the Environmental Impact Study and their studied opinion on the direction best
for the future of the City as a whole.
Defined Contribution Retirement Option Under the Virginia Retirement System (VRS):
. City Council should advocate enabling legislation in the 2010 General Assembly Session that
would allow local option "defined contribution" retirement plans under VRS to be provided
prospectively for new hires.
. As recommended by the City's Blue Ribbon Tax, Fee and Spending Task Force, the City should
gradually shift from "defined-benefits" to "defined-contributions".
. In a period of just seven ( 7) years (2002 to 2009), the City's annual contribution per employee
to the VRS pension and life insurance plan has increasedfromjust over $26,000 to almost
$52,000. In 2003, the City's annual pension contribution was 11% of payroll; in 2009, it will
exceed 18%. The significant growth in public debt obligations to support the current Defined
Benefits Retirement Plan is unsustainable and out of sync with private sector practices where
only 33% of all pension plans in 2005 were Defined Benefit Plans, down from 88% in 1975.
Resort Development Initiatives:
. Virginia Beach City Council should finalize contractual agreements for the redevelopment of the
former Dome site, the development of a convention center headquarters hotel and complete
infrastructure upgrades to support redevelopment of the 31st Street-Laskin Road Gateway
corridor, all by the end of fiscal year 2010, if supported by economic analysis
. Public investment in roads, parkingfacilities, water/sewer services, public gathering places and
access can, when economic studies project a positive return on the City's investment, be an
appropriate and essential ingredient in directing and fostering private investment. City Council
should continue to identify public-private ventures where studies show joint participation will
enhance the economic prosperity of the City, broaden its tax base and serve the interests of the
citizens at large
Margaret Ballard, Retail Alliance, advised a proposal in the planning stages with the Planning
Department and other departments within the City would impact the Retailers in the business community.
Before an ordinance is passed stakeholders should receive prior notification to meet with the various
agencies in the Planning Departments before the ordinance is actually brought to City Council. This
relationship exists with Chesapeake and extension notification is provided there, sometimes as much as
six (6) months. The City of Portsmouth also advises the Alliance relative these proposals.
Mr. Flinchum advised the Roundtable would support elimination of the Dillon Rule.
A Transportation Forum was held approximately a year and a 'half ago. The Mayor will have staff
provide information concerning scheduling. Discussion will continue during the City Council Retreat of
August 3 and 4, 2009, relative the Virginia Beach Business Roundtable's Priorities

1000 Great Neck Road. LLC AKA Wave 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"), 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.

any encroachment by anyone other than the Grantee.
It is further expressly understood and agreed that the granting of the
