"Bill" DeSteph, Harry E. Diezel, Barbara M. Henley, Vice Mayor Louis R. Jones Mayor William D. Sessoms, Jr., John E. Uhrin, Ron A. Villanueva, Rosemary Wilson and James L. Wood Council Members Absent: Glenn R. Davis [Left after Closed Session — Thanksgiving in New York with Family] INVOCATION: Vice Mayor Louis R. Jones 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 idents 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.

Voting.• 10-0 (By Consent) Council Members Voting Aye: William R. "Bill" DeSteph, Harry E. Diezel, Robert M. Dyer, Barbara M. Henley, Vice Mayor Louis R. Jones, Mayor William D. Sessoms, Jr., John E. Uhrin, Ron A. Villanueva, Rosemary Wilson and James L. Wood Council Members Voting Nay: None Council Members Absent: Glenn R. Davis November 24, 2009 1&nintu 1108 WHEREAS: Ebenezer Baptist Church of Virginia Beach, Virginia, was established with its first worship service held in a log cabin in Princess Anne County in 1859 and continues to serve the community as a "Church that Reaches Out", knowing "with God, all things are possible". In the beginning, Ebenezer Church had a white minister. The slaves would walk, come in their wagons or by mules from nearby plantations. Sometimes even the slave masters and mistresses would attend the services. The land was originally owned by Mr. and Mrs. William Jones and Mr. and Mrs. Guy. The purchase price was One Hundred Fifty Dollars and the deed was recorded September 3, 1883. There was no electricity nor heat in the building so members would walk to church each week to see the lamps were trimmed, filled with oil and the globes were clean; WHEREAS: As years passed, the congregation grew and continued to grow. A third much larger building with an immense balcony was constructed on Ebenezer Road [now Baker Road] with the corner -stone laid on July 2, 1894. The first Black minister was Reverend Marshall Land. Many enhancements have been added to the property, including a baptismal pool, an additional five acres and a large burial ground. Soon there was a need for a school; however, there was no transportation nor were the roads paved. Ebenezer School closed in 1946 and students were sent to Union Kempsville Elementary School and then to Princess Anne Training School, which around 1953, was renamed to Union Kempsville High School; WHEREAS: Callie Walton, a Deaconess until her death, would travel each week -end to stay with her sister so she could be near the Church. With love and patience, she took the time to record and relate the history in a manner not to be lost nor forgotten. Cora Lee Goodman was blessed with a memory that enhanced the historical recordings of Deaconess Walton which has resulted in a tangible legacy to enlighten all members and friends in this celebration of one hundred andffty years. Much credit is due Patricia Williams for the photograph of the Horseshoe Arch and Deaconess Olivia D. Lindsay who spent endless hours overseeing the organization, typing, printing and making the final touches for everyone to enjoy; and, WHEREAS: In the 1940 's, Ebenezer Baptist Church also served the community by allowing Little Creek Amphibious Base officials to hold Civil Defense meetings there. Time marched on and the congregation grew while the building deteriorated. So on January 12, 1972, the members voted to build a new church. Many obstacles resulted in loss of time; however, on November 30, 1975, members rejoiced to share the dedication of the new [fourth] church and on May 3, 1997, there was a ground breaking for a new addition with the new cornerstone laid July 11, 1998. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That the Virginia Beach City Council recognizes the long history of Ebenezer Baptist Church, the untiring efforts and tenacity of its members and the dedicated service of its ministers and members to this "community for a lifetime". BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT NOVEMBER 16, 2009, BE SET ASIDE TO CELEBRATE: "EBENEZER BAPTIST CHURCH DAY" Given under our hands and seals this Seventeenth day of November, Two Thousand Nine 1 - 30 - K.
