CITY COUNCIL BRIEFINGS
HAMPTON ROADS TRANSIT
ITEM # 59609 (Continued)
Hampton Roads Transit is required, in this process, to follow the National Environmental Policy Act, to
perform and receive the environmental clearances and record decisions that are necessary for the
project. However, with the Federal Transit Administration, unlike the Federal Highway Administration,
HRT must also comply with their New Starts process. Without the New Starts process and approval, HRT
would not be eligible for any Federal funds. Those two studies are performed concurrently with a robust
public involvement process and the Transportation Planning Organization (TPO).
Project Overview and Process
Following Federal Transit Administration (FTA) New Starts Process
Primary Study Tasks:
^ Alternatives Analysis (AA):
^ Evaluate alternatives for proposed transit extension
^ Light Rail Transit (LRT) and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) on Norfolk
Southern right-of-way
^ Alignment alternatives East of Birdneck Rd
^ Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS)
^ Examine impacts of alternatives
^ Selection of a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA)
^ Adoption of LPA in the Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization's
(HRTPO) Regional Long-Range Transportation Plan
^ Request for Federal funding through the FTA "New Starts" process
^ Public and Stakeholder involvement
Mr. Shucet advised HRT is fortunate to utilize the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement and not
need to commence with a totally new Draft Environmental Impact Statement which would certainly cost
more. The New Starts program is a discretionary Grant program from the Federal Government.

Mr. Shucet advised this project requires $6.63-MILLION. $1.5-MILLION has been secured and utilized
to initiate the study. This funding has been expended, which did not require any match from the City.
$3.91-MILLION has been programmed from the Regional Surface Transportation Program and did not
require a City match. Virginia Beach provided support for a Congressional Grant for appropriation of
$1.2-MILLION. In order to access this grant, it must be matched. $244, 800 is needed as a "match " to
make this Grant possible.

ITEM # 59609 (Continued)
Requested City Council Action
^ Approval of $244,800 to serve as local match for the FY 2010 Congressional Appropriation is
a MUST to continue this study
^ If this local match is not approved, the FY 2010 Congressional Appropriation would be
returned to FTA and the study would not advance until, and if, other funds become available
next year. These funds would then be reallocated to another project in another area.
Mr. Shucet requested City Council consider this proposal during the February 23, 2010 City Council
Session.

CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING
STATE BUDGET ISSUES
"Local Composite Index"
ITEM # 59610
3:13 P.M.
Mayor Sessoms referenced his conversation with Virginia Beach Schools Superintendent, James G.
Merrill, Superintendent -Virginia Beach City Schools, and invited Dr. Merrill to speak.
Dr. Merrill advised the City often references and strives for regional cooperation. Yesterday, Governor
McDonnell lifted the freeze on the Local Composite Index ", initiated by former Governor Kaine. Initially,
Schools understood Governor Robert McDonnell was firm on leaving the freeze in place, since he needed
to fund an additional $29-MILLION to even implement on July First. Therefore, Schools have currently
balanced their budgets and are presenting them to their respective Boards.
Dr. Merrill is presenting the Virginia Beach School Board's budget in three (3) hours, and has not
factored in yesterday's loss of an additional X14.9-MILLION. Tonight, he will request the Virginia
Beach School Board to adopt and sign a Resolution to the Governor to reconsider his decision, or at least
phase it in over two (2) years. Ninety-seven of the one hundred thirty four (134) School Divisions are
negatively affected by yesterday's decision. Among the localities which are members of the Hampton
Roads Planning District Commission (HRPDC), there is a total loss of funds of X58.4-MILLION. This
will have a devastating effect on children, not to mention the inevitable loss of more jobs.
Dr. Merrill requested the City Council ADOPT a Resolution in SUPPORT of the Proposed Freeze to the
Local Composite index for Fiscal Year 2011, communicate with your colleagues in the Region and enlist
their support in requesting the Governor to temper the damage to Hampton Roads, communicate with
members of the Schools delegation re the damaging effect on Hampton Roads and finally either directly,
or through known resources, contact the Governor's office. Virginia Beach has remained silent while
Northern Virginia has stormed the Governor. The Governor has been requested to stagger his decision,
or at the very least to stagger the implementation, over the next two (2) years. A copy of the DRAFT
Virginia Beach City School Board Resolution and a table reflecting the dollar effect on all Divisions in
the Region (Projected Change in FY 2011 State Funding is hereby made a part of the record.
Dr. Merrill read the Resolution into the Record. Mayor Sessoms and City Council concurred with the
Resolution and will ad it to the Formal Session Agenda today (February 9, 2011), confirming the City's
SUPPORT of the proposed freeze to the Local Composite Index for Fiscal Year 2011.
Mayor Sessoms referenced a Retreat tomorrow, February 10, 2010, with the Transportation Planning
Organization, with the Mayors and other Council Members of the region in attendance. Mayor Sessoms
will contact the City's local delegation to the General Assembly and request a meeting with the Governor
which he will attend.

CITY MANAGER `S BRIEFING
PRINCESS ANNE COUNTY TRAINING SCHOOL/ UNION KEMPSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL
ITEM # 59611
3:19 P.M.
The City Manager introduced Lynn Clements, Director -Department of Museums, who has worked with
the Schools Division over the past five (5) years to develop an appropriate way to commemorate the
history of the African-American High School that served Princess Anne County and then Virginia Beach
students in the mid-twentieth century. Mrs. Clements recognized Mark Reed, Historic Resource
Coordinator and representative of the Department of Museums, WHO has dedicated many hours to this
project. The buildings that housed the School have been replaced with the new Renaissance Academy
which now serves students requiring an alternative to the general curriculum. The construction of this
new school includes a museum quality exhibit gallery that tells the story of the Princess Anne County
Training School and Union Kempsville High School.
Mr. Reed advised the story of Princess Anne County Training School, later renamed the Union
Kempsville High School, is truly inspiring, a story of hope, faith, patience, perseverance, sacrifice and,
most importantly, success. In 1925, a group of African American citizens in Princess Anne County
formed the Princess Anne County Training School Association for the purpose of establishing a High
School for their children. The only high schools in the County served the White population. Funds were
raised and ultimately the citizens were able to purchase four (4) acres of land for a School. The Princess
Anne County School Board was able to utilize some grant funds and construct a school at Cleveland
Street and Witchduck Road. This school was dedicated in 1937 as the Princess Anne County Training
School. The first graduating class was 1938. The first school was four (4) classrooms, a Library,
Assembly Room and a Principal's Office.
Princess Anne County Training School
(1938 -1961)
Union Kempsville High School
1961-1969)
The Schools wished to do a project at this location, part of which involved building a new plant at 1568
Corporate Landing Parkway. As part of this process, something had to be done relative the old building
which could not be saved.

2009 CRIME STATISTICS
ITEM # 59612
3:42 P.M.
Chief A. M. Jacocks, Police, presented information relative the 2009 Crime Statistics in terms of the
economy. The first slide depicts the Crime Rate per 1,000 populations 1960 to 2009.

In the early 1990's a very evident "drop" occurs. This is consistent with the National Trend and
coincides with the beginning of the Federal COPS program, which funded Police grants resulting in more
Police Officers on the streets.

CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING
2009 CRIME STATISTICS
ITEM # 59612 (Continued)
Part 1 Crime: entails murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny and motor vehicle
theft and arson. This chart depicts the actual sworn staffing. The decline in the crime rate, which is
actually reflected as a percentage almost "exactly mirrors "the actual sworn staff ng which is divided by
ten (10).
Virginia Beach Average Sworn and Part 1 Crime Clearances
This decline is a national trend and due in large part to the Federal Hiring Grants placing more Police
Officers on the street. Police were awarded their first Cops Hiring Grant in 1994. Twenty-eight (28)
Officers were received. Grants funded additional Officers of about sixteen (16) annually up to and
including 2004 for a total of one hundred sixty (160) Grant funded positions. As the grant funding
depleted, City Council always provided the funding for those positions.
This Chart depicts success in solving Part 1 Crimes. There is a direct correlation between the Police
Department's ability to solve crimes and the level of resources at the Police Department's disposal. The
ability to apprehend criminals obviously contributes to a feeling of safety in the City, raising the level of
citizen confidence in the Police and City Government as a whole. This helps to prevent crime by taking
offenders off the street.

CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING
CITY CODE SECTION 23-SO
Enforcement re Hazardous Trees/Overgrown Grass
ITEM # 59613
4: OS P.M.
Andrew Friedman, Director, Housing and Neighborhood Preservation, spoke re the enforcement effort
re Overgrowth, Trash and Hazardous Tree Ordinances.
Goals of Code Enforcement
• Protect the health, safety, welfare of Virginia Beach residents through the enforcement
various codes and ordinances
• Prevent blight and deterioration
• Promote well-maintained, quality neighborhoods
• Work with resident and property owners to obtain voluntary compliance
• Obtain compliance through the court system, when necessary, to avoid becoming
"property managers "
Mr. Friedman cited the Nuisances:
• Overgrown grass and trash are considered nuisances as they constitute a concern for health and
safety
• These conditions are considered nuisances in most local municipalities and many cities
throughout the United States
History of the "Weed Ordinance"
• In 1976, enforcement of the "weed ordinance "was transferred from the Health Dept. to
the City
• The ordinance became more stringent based on citizen input and input from other City
agencies directly affected by the proper enforcement of this code (Fire, Police, Health,
Vector Control, etc)
• The most recent changes occurred in December of 1992, after gaining citizen input at a
Neighborhood Forum held specifically to discuss this code and other property
maintenance codes
• Goal - develop a stringent, effective ordinance that will allow us to eliminate nuisances
in a timely fashion
Current Ordinance (Sec. 23-SO)
• Section (a) covers the accumulation of trash, garbage, litter, etc
• Section (b) covers overgrown grass and weeds in excess of 10 inches
• Currently, a Class 2 Misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000 and not more
than 6 months in jail
• First time cases are dismissed if compliant prior to the court date
• Judges impose fines ranging from $100 - $250 and a short order to comply

CITY CODE SECTION 23-SO
Enforcement re Hazardous Trees/Overgrown Grass
ITEM # 59613 (Continued)
Pros and Cons under Criminal Penalties
Pros Cons
Ordinances have "bite" -simply issuing a None -criminal penalties have been working
summons is normally enough to compel effectively for 30+ years
com liance
A court order can be issued to compel
Com liance
Repeat offenders can be addressed
ro erl with strip ent enalties
Experience with Civil Penalties
• In 2004, certain Waste Management Ordinances were amended to change from criminal to
civil penalties. This has proved to be ineffective in gaining compliance with these violations.
• Many cases are dismissed or fines reduced to $10
• Processing civil penalties involves additional staff time and requires the work of multiple city
agencies (Treasurer, Court Clerk, Collections, etc)
Considerations
Civil penalties may not be stringent enough to deter violators and repeat offenders
A move to civil penalties could require the need for additional contractual abatement actions
on occupied property to ensure timely compliance
An increased need for abatement funds has not been budgeted ($10,000 budget currently)
Contractual abatement on occupied property is dangerous (often requires entering rear yards
and locked gates); collection of liens is difficult
Our current ordinances are an effective deterrent and have worked well to eliminate nuisances
and hazards for over 30 years
The majority ofnon-compliant cases taken to court are complied with prior to the first court
date
Judges rarely impose jail time for any Code Enforcement cases
A more difficult enforcement process could negatively impact our neighborhoods
Mr. Friedman introduced Wells Freed, Code Enforcement Administrator, and Kristina Salzman -City
Arborist -Parks and Recreation Commission, who are in attendance to provide the technical back-up.

Options
• Maintain the current system.
• Reduction to a lower class of misdemeanor with an increase to a Class 2 for repeat offenders
where 3 or more notices of violation are issued during a single growing season
• Institute civil penalties
Staffs Recommendation
• Maintain the current system. This has been effective and has had a positive impact on our
communities
• Should Council choose to change these ordinances, we ask that the change become effective
November 1, 2010 to ensure ample time is given for implementation (amending
policies/procedures, updating notices/forms, and training stafj7 and that the procedure is not
changed in the middle of the weed and grass season.
Councilman DeSteph expressed concern if the crime basically fits the punishment (Eighth Amendment),
a criminal offense. Every time you prosecute a Class II Misdemeanor, the Judge can institute a jail term.
Council Lady Henley referenced a series of mail from Aragona Village relative the rat issue caused by
individuals not mowing their lawns.
Mr. Friedman advised staff was encouraged to be proactive and would like the citizens to understand the
Department's goal is to handle problems when they are observed, but they do not measure grass.
Mr. Friedman advised Councilman Davis a request had not been made for specific funding; they are
simply stating the potential exists for a high level expenditure that could require additional funds

CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
4:28 P.M.
ITEM # 59615
Council Lady Henley advised last night, February Eighth and last Wednesday, February Third, she was
at West Neck Villages with representatives of Virginia Beach Schools to discuss the relocation of Kellam
High School. A major concern with the project entails West Neck Road. The citizens are concerned
whether traffic will be increased and what impact that will have on their neighborhood. She reviewed the
history of all the changes occurring in the five to six years in this area. However, when she realized the
complete West Neck Road improvement is not going to be made, three (3) interim safety projects were
agreed upon: (1) small section being widened and upgraded (completed last Summer) (2) Traffic Light at
West Neck -Indian River is at bid at the present time and construction will begin in late Spring for
completion the end of this year (3) improvement to a curve, then hopefully design will commence. All
three (3) of these safety projects will hopefully be accomplished long before the School is in place.
Virginia Beach Schools did commit to the neighbors re improvements to the road within the 1500 feet in
front of the School, which will connect the completed section. In a few months when Virginia Beach
Schools have a conceptional design to present, this will be scheduled for a City Council Session. They
will request the property be rezoned to Agricultural.
ITEM # 59616
Councilman DeSteph referenced E-mails from the Southeastern Public Service Authority (SPSA), were
requesting their VLA debt be guaranteed by the City.
Councilman DeSteph requested an update relative this request. The City Manager advised this would be
discussed during CLOSED SESSION.
ITEM # 59617
Council Lady Henley referenced, while working on a Historical Project, old tax receipts were discovered
from one family. The oldest receipt is from 1846. Real Estate has been taxed in this County at least from
1846. Relative Personal Property, a horse was taxed at ten cents. The real comparison was depicted in
1910 (100 years ago). At that time, the State was also allocated based upon the real estate of the
property owner. The County Levy was thirty cents ($.30 per $100 of property value. A road tax was
twenty cents ($.20 per $100 of property value). A school levy was also in existence ($.30 per $100).
Wleen all these taxes are added, the real estate levy appears to be eighty cents ($.80 per $100), not a lot
different from today's rate. They also had personal property and a capitation tax.

PLEDGE OFALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OFAMERICA
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 ident~ any matters in which he might have an actual or
potential conflict. If, during his review of an agenda, he identiftes 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
February 9, 2010
-35-
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
transactions. However, due to the size of Goodman and Company and the volume of transactions it
handles in any given year, Goodman and Company has an interest in numerous matters in which her
husband is not personally involved and of which she does not have personal knowledge. In order to
ensure her compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interests Act, it is her practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting of Ciry Council for the
purpose of ident~ing any matters in which she might have an actual or potential conflict. If, during her
review she identifies any matters, she will prepare and file the appropriate disclosure letter to be
recorded in the official records of City Council. Council Lady Wilson regularly makes this disclosure.
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
Decker Realty. Because of the nature of Real Estate Agent affiliation, the size of Prudential, and the
volume of transactions it handles in any given year, Prudential has an interest in numerous matters in
which she is not personally involved and of which she does not have personal knowledge. In order to
ensure her compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interests Act, it is her practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting of City Council for the
purpose of ident~ing any matters in which she might have an actual or potential conflict. If, during her
review she identifies any matters, she will prepare and file the appropriate disclosure letter to be
recorded in the official records of City Council. Council Lady Wilson regularly makes this disclosure.

A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THAT THE
GOVERNOR ACTIVATE ALL AVAILABLE
EMERGENCY AND RELIEF RESOURCES
FOR THE BENEFIT OF HOMEOWNERS
IMPACTED BY "CHINESE DRYWALL"
WHEREAS, gypsum wallboard imported from China, commonly referred to as
"Chinese drywall," has been associated with negative health effects and adverse effects
upon electrical systems and other structural components in residences and other
structures in which such drywall has been installed; and
WHEREAS, City of Virginia Beach residents have suffered damages from
Chinese Drywall installations in their homes; and
WHEREAS, it has been documented that heat and humidity causes the Chinese
drywall to release gases, which not only create a noxious odor, but also corrode copper
and other metal surfaces, thereby damaging air conditioners, electrical wiring, copper
plumbing, appliances and electronics; and
WHEREAS, corrosion of electrical wiring can hamper the effectiveness of smoke
detection and can create a risk of fire; and
WHEREAS, Chinese drywall is also very friable, which means it is in a state
where small particles can easily become dislodged with little friction, thus enabling them
to easily enter an individual's lungs, resulting in the potential that toxic drywall
particulate may remain in a structure unless the drywall is carefully and properly
removed; and
WHEREAS, owners of homes with Chinese drywall have alleged that they are
suffering health problems due to the effects of the Chinese drywall; and
WHEREAS, City residents have stated that their insurance companies have
denied coverage and that their developer has refused to replace the Chinese drywall,
thereby leaving them with no means with which to fund the necessary drywall repairs to
avoid the health problems that they have been suffering; and
WHEREAS, there is a possibility that federal funds could be made available to
assist the Virginia Beach residents with their Chinese Drywall problems; and
WHEREAS, the Commonwealth of Virginia may need to declare an emergency in
order for such funds to be released.
43 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
44 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA:
45
46 That the City of Virginia Beach hereby requests that the Governor of the
47 Commonwealth of Virginia, through Executive Order and/or other powers available
48 under law, activate all available emergency and relief resources and mechanisms for
49 the benefit of homeowners impacted by defective or reactive drywall, including, but not
50 limited to, requesting immediate federal assistance through the Federal Emergency
51 Management Agency ("FEMA") and any other agency of the United States Government.
52
53 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA
54 BEACH, VIRGINIA:
55
56 That the City Clerk is hereby directed to forward a copy of this resolution to the
57 Governor and to each member of the City's local delegation to the General Assembly.

9. It is further expressly understood and agreed that the Grantee shall make a SIX HUNDRED
SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLAR ($675.00) payment, payable to the City Treasurer, to the Department
of Planning as compensation for the typically required fifteen (1 S) foot-wide riparian buffer area
that cannot be established on the property of the Grantee; said buffers are a standard condition
of the City for shoreline encroachments. Said payment is equal to partial cost of plant material
which will be used to restore buffer areas on other City-owned property.
10. It is further expressly understood and agreed that the Grantee shall establish and maintain three

native trees, to be planted fifteen (15) feet landward of the bulkhead near the north property line.
The Buffer shall not be established during the months of June, July or August, so that it has the
greatest likelihood of survivability. Prior to the City issuing a Permit, the Grantee must post a
bond or other security, in an amount equal to the estimated cost of the required Buffer, to the
Department of Planning to insure completion of the required Buffer. The Grantee shall note the
Department of Planning when the Buffer is complete and ready for inspection; upon satisfactory

amount not less than $500, 000.00, combined single limits of such insurance policy or policies.
The Grantee will provide endorsements providing at least thirty (30) days written notice to the
City prior to the cancellation or termination of, or material change to, any of the insurance
policies. The Grantee assumes all responsibilities and liabilities, vested or contingent, with
relation to the construction, location and/or existence of the Temporary Encroachment.
12. It is further expressly understood and agreed that the Temporary Encroachment must conform to
the minimum setback requirements, as established by the City.
13. It is further expressly understood and agreed that the City, upon revocation of such authority and
permission so granted, may remove the Temporary Encroachment and charge the cost thereof to
the Grantee, and collect the cost in any manner provided by law for the collection of local or
state taxes; may require the Grantee to remove the Temporary Encroachment; and pending such
removal, the City may charge the Grantee for the use of the Encroachment Area, the equivalent of
what would be the real property tax upon the land so occupied if it were owned by the Grantee;
and if such removal shall not be made within the time ordered hereinabove by this Agreement, the
City may impose a penalty in the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per day for each and
every day that the Temporary Encroachment is allowed to continue thereafter, and may collect
such compensation and penalties in any manner provided by law for the collection of local or

AGENDA ITEM

ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate Funds from the Fund Balance of the Fire Programs
Special Revenue Fund to Fire Department Grants in the Grants Consolidated Fund and to
Appropriate Funds to Capital Project #3-133, Fire Training Center Improvements -Phase III
MEETING DATE: February 9, 2010
^ Background: Annually, the Fire Department receives approximately $1.1 million from
the State of Virginia, Department of Fire Programs under the Virginia Fire Programs Fund/Aid
to Localities program, which pays for improvements in fire services, such as training, fire
training facilities, fire prevention and public safety education programs; emergency medical
care and equipment for fire personnel; personnel costs, vehicles, equipment and supplies for
use to provide fire services. These funds cannot be used to supplant local funding for current
fire services.
Prior to FY 2008-09 these monies were budgeted and deposited in the Fire Programs Special
Revenue Fund. In FY 2008-09, this Special Revenue Fund was eliminated, and State Fire
Programs revenues were appropriated as an annual grant in the Grants Consolidated Fund.
For FY 2008-09, $1,000,000 was initially budgeted. However $1,157,260 was received. The
Fire Programs Special Revenue Fund remained open in the City's financial system until its
fund balance of $2,028,599 could be transferred in the FY 2009-10 CIP to the Capital Project
#3-133, "Fire Training Center Improvements -Phase III." Thereafter, the Department of
Finance was to close out this Special Revenue Fund in the City's financial system.
^ Considerations: This ordinance will resolve the outstanding accounting issues related
to the discontinuance of the Fire Programs Special Revenue Fund, including the correction of
a deposit of $1,157,260 into the Special Revenue Fund instead of the Grants Consolidated
Fund that occurred in FY 2008-09. These revenues lapsed into the fund balance of this
Special Revenue fund and are available for appropriation to replace the existing financing
sources budgeted in the grants shown below.
Additionally, the Department of Finance wishes to close the Fire Programs Special Revenue
Fund, so the remaining fund balance is recommended to be appropriated to Capital Project
#3-133, "Fire Training Center Improvements -Phase III" to accumulate funds for the next
project at the Training Center. Examples of proposed projects include parking lot expansion,
main classroom and administration building expansion, amulti-purpose building to include
the burn building control room, a "dirty" classroom, health and safety training area, multi-
purpose training tower, and numerous outside training prop areas for hazmat training,
technical rescue training, and heavy apparatus emergency vehicle operator training.

Special Revenue Fund cannot be closed out in the City's financial system.

Revenue Fund to provide $997,400 as a substitute funding source for State Fire Programs
revenues in various Fire Department grants in the Grants Consolidated Fund, and

PUBLIC DIALOGUE
Animal Shelter
Julianna Pontone, 1232 Carlson Lane, Phone: 272-7252, requested funding for the Animal Shelter. The
State Veterinarian Report requires the City to upgrade the Shelter standards. Basic requirements are not
being metre preventing disease and overcrowding. The facility has passed its useful life and is beyond
repair. Mrs. Pontone distributed photographs, which are hereby made a part of the record.
Jimmy Frost, 2240 Windom Road, Phone: 343-6768, spoke re the City's grossly deficient Animal Shelter.
The Animal Shelter is out of compliance with State Law. He has resolved to have the City build a new
Animal Shelter. If the State Veterinarian had decided to start ftning the City $1, 000 a day per violation,
this would have resulted in X287, 000 in fines.
Food Tax on Military Installations
Alan Quartararo, 4825 Rugby Road, Phone: 467-6524, requested the SUPPORT of City Council in
ending the 10. S% food tax levied on Service Men and Women and their families that use establishments
operating on Military Bases within the City limits. Mr. Quartararo advised most believe that taxing by
local, state and federal taxing authorities is prohibited on federally owned installations. However, this is
not true. There is a policy that allows local municipalities the option to collect food sale taxes from
commercial entities operating on Military installations within their taxing jurisdiction. For years,
Virginia Beach has opted to levy such a tax on commercial eateries on Oceana Naval Air Station.
Diversity
Andrew Jackson, 153 Upperville Road, Phone; 490-9190, advised to place someone on City Council
because the individual possesses a certain lineage does not assist this Council, nor the City. Mr. Jackson
used the research example regarding Latino Legislators in the process of voting.
Venus Marshall, 5354 Leicester Court, Phone; 490-2352, twenty four year resident of the City, has
contributed to the community by serving on countless Boards, i. e. PTA (Parent Teachers Association).
"Inclusion " is a sense of belonging, feeling respected, valued for who you are and feeling a level of
supportive energy that when individuals come before the City Council they see peers like themselves.
They will be respected. Ms. Marshall belongs to Kempsville Presbyterian Church.
Carl Wright, President -Hampton Roads NAACP, Phone; 235-9655. Mr. Wright reminded the City
Council of Black History Month. Mr. Wright has tried to reach out across policy, gender, community and
ethnic lines. The City of Virginia Beach is going to regress j`it does not follow. Diversity and Inclusion
are important issues.
Georgia F. Allen, 4649 Merrimac Lane, Phone: 439-3390, President of the Virginia Beach Branch -
NAACP and a lifelong resident of Virginia Beach. Ms. Allen requested Diversity on City Council.
