Following the terms of the PPEA, the Authority solicited potential developers and evaluated all proposals. The Authority is currently negotiating terms of possible transactions for the Hotel. The Authority has entered into an interim agreement under the PPEA with Armada Hoffler Development Company to further negotiate for the Hotel. The parcel identified for development of the Hotel is approximately 5.74 acres and is located in the northeastern corner of the Convention Center parking lot and currently owned by the City. The exact location of the parcel to be transferred is shown on the Location Map attached to the ordinance as Exhibit A. If a public-private partnership were to be approved by City Council, the Authority would be the public entity contracting with the developer. As such, the property for the Hotel should first be transferred from the City to the Authority. ■ Considerations: Transferring title of the property for this potential development would facilitate the Authority's ability to negotiate potential terms for a public- private partnership. The terms and conditions of a future development project would have to be approved by City Council at a later date, prior to the City being committed to any development project. Approval of this transaction requires an affirmative vote of three-fourths of all elected members of City Council. ■ Public Information: A public hearing was advertised in The Virginian -Pilot and advertisement of the City Council Agenda. ■ Alternatives: Convey the property to the Virginia Beach Development Authority or retain title to the subject property. ■ Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the transfer of the property to the Authority with the understanding that any commitments for development must first be approved by City Council. ■ Attachments: Ordinance Location Map Recommended Action: Approval of the Ordinance.

General Assembly will be very challenging. Hopefully, it will not be as challenging from a fiscal standpoint as the last two sessions. However, the current biennium budget was balanced through accelerated sales tax collection, deferral of over $600 million in payments to the Virginia Retirement System (VRS), and other methods that will be carried forward into the next biennium. Furthermore, at the time of this writing, the economy may be entering into a "double -dip" recession. Although the state ended Fiscal Year 2011 with a "surplus" of $311 million, there are still many unmet needs throughout the Commonwealth. Furthermore, the $311 million needs to be reviewed in comparison to the over $600 million that was not paid to VRS that is required to make the VRS fund more fiscally sustainable. Besides the fiscal impacts, there will be other policy decisions made during the 2012 session that will have tremendous impact on the lives of Virginians and residents of Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads. It is likely that the issue of ABC Privatization will be reintroduced into the General Assembly discussion. All cities still remain concerned about the impact of such privatization. Furthermore, although the City is greatly appreciative of Governor McDonnell's efforts to provide funding for transportation in the last session, there is still no ongoing financing vehicle available for addressing transportation infrastructure, maintenance, and construction needs. Currently, there is over $550 million taken from the Transportation Trust Fund, which should be used for construction, and instead is going into system maintenance. Maintenance needs are also increasing by over $50 million per year. To put this into perspective, one penny on the gas tax statewide provides $50 million. Thus, it would require a gas tax increase of at least eleven cents statewide just to make up the funds in the construction budget that are currently being transferred to the maintenance budget. In the backdrop of this is the turmoil at the federal level over the U.S. Government's finances. Inevitable federal budget cuts will have great impacts and be likely passed through the state to the local governments. Also, the state continues to bill the local governments for $60 million a year that local governments equate to local government state aid. The City suggests that if there are available funds after the constitutionally required funding that the $60 million in cuts in state aid to local governments from previous years be restored. As has previously been stated, the City Council of Virginia Beach continues to be concerned about the level of funding available for basic services such as education, social services, public safety, and transportation. These issues need to be addressed in the upcoming biennium budget. 1 Finally, the City is very appreciative of the General Assembly and the Governor's funding of the Commonwealth's $7.5 million share of the BRAC Compliance Program. We believe in keeping our commitments and maintaining the positive momentum we have jointly built with the military. Funding needs to be included in the biennium budget for both years. City Council wishes the very best for the General Assembly Members during the upcoming 2012 session as you shape the judgments that will influence our future prosperity and well being. 2 1. POST LABOR DAY OPENING FOR SCHOOLS Jim Ricketts Department of Convention and Visitors Bureau Background Information: The total spending from the tourism industry in Virginia Beach for calendar year 2009 was $1.06 billion, stimulating 11,596 jobs. Starting schools in Virginia Beach and other localities in the Commonwealth prior to Labor Day would have significant financial consequences in the long term. Beginning schools prior to Labor Day would effectively reduce the available vacation time in August by two weeks, which is prime family vacation time that cannot be replaced. If the Virginia Beach school system begins before Labor Day and other localities follow our lead, it will have a negative effect on the economic impact of the tourism industry. To a lesser extent, this will also have an impact on this industry by affecting the labor pool available prior to Labor Day. Request: The General Assembly is requested to maintain the existing legislation concerning post Labor Day opening of schools. This allows all schools to open after Labor Day except those given exemptions by the State Board of Education. 3 2. EXPANSION OF THE VIRGINIA HUMAN RIGHTS ACT Virginia Beach Human Rights Commission Background Information: The Virginia Human Rights Act (Va. Code §2.2-3900 et seq.) currently prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions, age, marital status, or disability. The City of Virginia Beach has prohibited the aforementioned since 1994. Request: The City requests that the General Assembly amend the Virginia Human Rights Act to also prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation. 4 3. EQUALIZATION OF LODGING TAXES James K. Spore City Manager Background Information: During the 2011 General Assembly Session, legislation (Senate Bill 972 - Whipple) was introduced that would have the retail sales and hotel taxes on transient rooms (hotel rooms) be computed based on the total charge or price paid. Currently, when a customer reserves a room online from a hotel website, they pay the full sales tax for that room. However, when the online travel companies rent rooms, the sales on the entire price is not paid. The Online Travel Companies (OTCs) buy blocks of unused rooms and resell them. However, the hotel tax is hidden within a service fee charged that shows up on the customer's credit card bill. This is not a new tax, but a fair collection of existing taxes. Major hotel chains such as Marriot and Hilton supported this legislation during the 2011 session. Several states have approved legislation such as this proposal and have upheld it in the courts. Request. The General Assembly is requested to amend section § 58.1-602, etc. as was proposed in Senate Bill 972 from the 2011 session. When a hotel or similar establishment contracts with an intermediary to facilitate the sale of the room and the intermediary charges the customer for the room, the bill would require the intermediary to separately state the taxes on the bill or invoice provided to the customer and to collect the taxes based on the total charges or the total price paid for the use or possession of the room. It is suggested that the bill have a delayed implementation date of January 1, 2013. This would allow the OTCs time to accommodate the change into their billing practice. E 4. AUTHORITY. GRANTING THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH CONCURRENT JURISDICTION WITH THE COMMONWEALTH IN IDENTIFIED WATERS OFF THE CITY SHORES Chief James A. Cervera Department of Police Background Information: The City of Virginia Beach provides Emergency Medical Services, Fire and Law Enforcement services in waters located off its coastline. These invaluable services supplement and greatly enhance those provided by the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries and the State Police. In an effort to curtail any possible argument related to the City's authority to address public safety concerns, the Code of Virginia should include a provision granting the City concurrent jurisdiction in specified waters off the City's shore. This has caused confusion in the courts when we bring offenders to trial. Request: Enact Code of Virginia § 29.1-747 to provide the City of Virginia Beach concurrent jurisdiction with the Commonwealth of Virginia in the identified waters off the shores of Virginia Beach. See Appendix Item 4 (nage 33) for text of the requested legislative change. 3 5. STATE LEGISLATION THAT WOULD ENABLE LOCALITIES TO HAVE A CHOICE BETWEEN PROVIDING NEW EMPLOYEES WITH A DEFINED BENEFIT RETIREMENT PLAN OR A DEFINED CONTRIBUTION RETIREMENT PLAN Council Member Glenn Davis Background Information: The City of Virginia Beach's employees participate in the defined benefit retirement plan that is offered by Virginia Retirement System ("VRS"). This defined benefit retirement plan is based on a formula that includes age at retirement, average final compensation, and years of service to calculate a retiree's benefit, but the benefit is not based upon accumulated contributions and gains or losses in each member's account. Every two years VRS actuarially computes the annual required rates of contributions for the City of Virginia Beach, as a separately rated employer, based upon an actuarial valuation of the retirement allowances and other defined benefits payable on behalf of active Virginia Beach employees in VRS. The valuation includes actual service and disability retirements, assumptions on life spans, disability rates, and turnover of the workforce. The City of Virginia Beach contributes both the employee portion (5%) as well as the employer portion of the contributions.' Current combined rates for the employer and employee portion of VRS rates totals 17.58% of total covered payroll, and is paid entirely by the City of Virginia Beach. This rate has increased substantially since Virginia Beach joined VRS in 1963, when the total rate was 10%. In addition, this rate is expected to increase further to compensate for recent portfolio performance experienced by VRS. Currently, an employee becomes vested in their VRS defined benefit account after five years of service. When a vested employee leaves City of Virginia Beach employment prior to retirement, the employee has two options: (1) maintain the VRS account to be accessed at retirement based on VRS formulas; or (2) seek a refund of the 5% employee contributions; In a defined contribution plan: individual employee accounts would be maintained, and in creating the plan a cap on the contributions either by individual employees or by aggregate cost can be imposed, thereby eliminating uncertainty about the City of Virginia Beach's future benefits ' Employees hired after July 1, 2010, with no active VRS service, are required to contribute 5% of their salary to their VRS account. 7 obligation and reducing the uncertainty associated with the fluctuation in employer contributions under the current VRS defined benefit plan; • the benefit would be based upon the contributions, plus or minus any gains or losses in each employee's individual account. Accordingly, the amount of the City's employer contribution would not change due to losses or gains in the employee accounts; • a defined contribution plan could provide employees with substantially more control over their investment options; • employees can be immediately vested in the assets contained in their individual accounts; the assets have greater portability and allow increased options for employees who may leave City employment prior to retirement, including the potential capability of rolling over funds into a 401(k), 401(a), government 457, or IRA. Request: The City of Virginia Beach urges the General Assembly to amend the Code of Virginia to enable localities to have a choice between providing new employees with the current defined benefit retirement plan or a new defined contribution retirement plan to be administered by VRS; and that the new defined contribution retirement plan should be fully portable. Nationally, other localities have begun offering this to their employees, and Virginia localities should be able to offer similar benefits. 8 6. AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER (ASD) INITIATIVE Robert R. Morin Department of Human Services Background Information: The Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that at least 1% of all children in this country have some form of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Based on these estimates, over 5,300 children in Virginia have ASD of which 437 reside in Virginia Beach. These children have access to needed school-based educational services and supports. However, children with ASD and their families have little/no access to non -school-based specialized mental health services and supports. For this reason, the Children's Council is requesting an ASD initiative to develop the workforce. This recommendation is to provide a foundation for across-the-board expertise and training in Community Services Board (CSB)/Behavioral Health Authority (BHA) for ASD. The Virginia Association of Community Services Boards (VACSB) Child and Family Services Council estimate that requests to CSB/BHAs now for these services exceed 1450 families. Specifically, the ASD Initiative will include: • A onetime cost of $15,000 per CSB/BHA ($600,000 statewide in total) for designated staff to receive training to become certified ASD specialists to assist in the assessment, treatment planning, and coordination of services for children with ASD and their families. Request: Support the request for an ASD initiative to specifically include $15,000 per CSB/BHA ($600,000 statewide in state general fund dollars) for designated staff to receive training to become certified ASD specialists to assist in the assessment, treatment planning, and coordination of services for children with ASD and their families. 0 7. RESPONDING TO HEALTH REFORM AND INTEGRATED CARE DEMANDS Robert R. Morin Department of Human Services Background Information: While all priorities have goals of both serving the existing need and developing capacity for need for effective service delivery through health care expansion of Medicaid and insurance coverage, this priority reflection promotes regional projects that integrate and coordinate mental health, substance use disorders, and primary care medical services for individuals with severe behavioral health conditions. This Comprehensive Systems of Care regional approach will enable us to more effectively meet the demands when Health Care Reform mandates begin in 2014. Request: Support projects that integrate and coordinate medical and behavioral health services through regional projects such as the Health Planning Region V (HPRV)/Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) pilot or the Federally Qualified Health Center/Community Services Board integration project. 10 8. SPECIALIZED SERVICES AND REGIONAL INITIATIVES AND EMERGENCY SERVICES Robert R. Morin Department of Human Services a. Inpatient Diversion Background Information: Decreasing the number of State facility beds currently being used requires the utilization of a variety of diversion strategies including purchase of services through increased and very flexible local inpatient purchase of service (LIPOS), immediate access to psychiatry, telepsychiatry, and medication, tiering rates for higher levels of private hospital services, including additional payments for temporary detention orders (TDO), and longer lengths of stay in private hospitals. Building capacity in these areas is critical in order to reduce reliance on state facilities. Request: Support the statewide spending of $3.15 million in state general funds to continue building community capacity to help offset the downsizing of state facility beds by expanding existing private facility contracts. Such capacity would be available for all CSBs in the region to access. b. Specialized Regional Geri -psychiatric Capacity Background Information: As of July 15, 2011, the largest facility in the region serving geriatric adults in an inpatient setting closed their gero-psychiatric unit. Providing appropriate crisis services at the time of crisis in order to augment the effective use of the acute care resources in the least restrictive treatment environment, expanding alternatives for post -acute care with the crisis service assisting in the return, and settling -in the home or long term care facility are among the outcomes of this priority: a Geriatric Psychiatry System of Care is proposed in each Region with an average cost of $2 million per region (total annual cost of $10 million). 11 This funding would facilitate the CSBs: • To implement crisis care alternatives that can serve as adjuncts to a CSB emergency services evaluation during crisis as well as adjunct supports to discharge planning after acute care. • To implement alternatives that can serve as adjuncts to discharge planning after acute care. • To provide access to the system of care services that supports a "No -Wrong -Door" program to reduce service fragmentation. • To identify and promote strategies that prevents or eliminates disparities in health care for older adults. • To prevent behavioral escalation that is likely to lead to more expansive involuntary detention and or ongoing crisis. • To assure that crisis alternatives are best supported through a sufficient number of qualified staff trained in the needs of older adults. Request: Support request to build a system of care for geriatric adults in need of psychiatric/mental health services to meet increasing demands of this population with dementia and other psychiatric disorders. The request for Health Planning Region V Community Services Boards is $2 million. 12 9. ILLEGAL USE OF LASER POINTERS OR LIGHTS James K. Spore City Manager At the request of Naval Air Station Oceana Background Information: Currently there is a prohibition in the Virginia Code and City Code against pointing lasers at police officers. Oceana Naval Air Station's pilots have experienced several instances of persons shining lights into airplane cockpits. This is a very dangerous activity because this distracts the pilots when they are close to landing in Oceana Naval Air Station and also can cause permanent damage to vision. Request: The request is to amend section § 18.2-57.01 of the Code of Virginia to make it illegal to point a laser at aircraft and to allow local law enforcement officers to issue citations for illegal use of lasers when they are pointed at aircraft. This would be a Class 1 misdemeanor. See Appendix Item 9 (nage 34) for text of the requested legislative change. 13 10. SMALL BUSINESS FINANCING AUTHORITY Warren Harris Department of Economic Development Background Information: The City of Virginia Beach, along with a number of other localities, has been pursuing curbs on the Virginia Small Business Financing Authority (VSBFA) for several years. In the 2003 General Assembly amended the definition of "eligible business" in the Virginia Small Business Financing Act, Va. Code Sec. 2.2-2279, et seq. (the "Act"), to allow the VSBFA to issue bonds not only for small for profit businesses, but also for 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations of any size. Prior to this time, large non -profits had to work with their municipal Industrial Development Authority (IDA) or Economic Development Authority (EDA) and local City Council in order to have the IDA or EDA issue the bonds after a local public hearing and City Council approval. This represented a major expansion of the VSBFA's jurisdiction, as while previously "eligible businesses" were limited to for-profit entities meeting various gross income, employment, or net worth limits (which essentially defined a "small business"). The situation was exacerbated in January, 2008, when the VSBFA, which already charged a lower fee rate of 1/10 of 1%, capped its administrative fees (currently at $125,000) per year for non -profits of any size. This makes it even more lucrative for large non -profits to issue bonds through the VSBFA versus through a local EDA, while both the state and local governments lose valuable revenue through this competition for administrative fees. As larger 501 (c)(3) organizations continue to turn to the VSBFA instead of their local EDA for their bonds, there will be significant adverse financial consequences for localities caused by competition from an agency of the Commonwealth. Large non -profits do not pay local taxes. Yet, as these large non -profits continue to grow, the localities must continue to provide services to them and increase these services in a like manner as the non-profit grows. Most of the time, the only direct revenues that accrue to localities from these developments are the bond administrative fees. Local and state government should not be in competition with one another for issuing tax free bonds. Request: The General Assembly is requested to limit the power of the Virginia Small Business Financing Authority along the lines of the legislation in 2011 sponsored by Senator Norment in Senate Bill 1349. Negotiations between the EDAs and the VSBFA are ongoing; 14 however, there are sticking points such as the split on annual bond issuance fees and where public hearings are held. 15 11. SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION FUNDING James K. Spore City Manager Background Information: Transportation funding is required for two purposes: • Maintenance of our existing infrastructure investment and; • Construction of new roadway projects to meet existing and future mobility needs. Virginia is not close to meeting either need and the trend is negative in both categories. Since 1986, vehicle miles traveled has increased by approximately 40%. Population has grown approximately by 30%; however, lane miles of roadway have only increased by approximately 10%. To make matters worse, the purchasing power of the Virginia gas tax of 17.5 cents per gallon in 1987 is now equivalent to a tax of only eight cents per gallon in 2011. Obviously, that purchasing power will continue to decline over time. Virginia has a much lower state gas tax than its surrounding competitor states such as Maryland (23.5 cents), North Carolina (35.3 cents), West Virginia (32.2 cents), and Kentucky (27.8 cents). As of July 1, 2011, the national average for federal and state gas tax per gallon was 48.9 cents. With the exception of Northern Virginia, Virginia's total tax of 38.4 cents is currently 12.5 cents per gallon below the national average. System Maintenance: The cost of roadway maintenance continues to grow by approximately $50 million a year. This is a function of new roadways being added to the system, secondary road maintenance, and increasing maintenance costs for segments of the interstate system, which are now aging. Since 2002, funds for maintenance have had to be transferred from the Commonwealth Transportation Fund, which was envisioned in 1986 as purely for new roadway construction. In fact, in 2011, over $550 million will be transferred from the construction fund to the maintenance fund. As mentioned previously, that figure increases approximately $50 million a year. The consequences of this diversion of construction funds to meet maintenance needs means that in Virginia Beach, where only a few years ago, the City received over $32 million a year in urban street funding, we now receive zero funds for urban street construction. The same is true for secondary construction in the counties. Money that was 16 available to the City for constructing roads such as Princess Anne, Laskin Road, First Colonial, Kempsville Road, Centerville Turnpike, etc. Because of the diminishing value of the gas tax due to more efficient automobiles and the growth in construction costs, there is not one measure that will be the "silver -bullet" for funding. However, the City Council believes that a sustainable long-term source of revenue for transportation should be pursued immediately. The Council leaves it up to the General Assembly as to what source(s) would best be utilized. However, the lack of a sustainable long-term transportation funding stream will leave Virginia lagging woefully behind its regional and international competitors. It will also cause a decrease in the quality of life to our residents through the cost of congestion, degraded air quality, and the reduced desirability of the Commonwealth for future economic growth. New Roadway Construction: The Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO) has identified $30 billion in regional construction needs over the next twenty years. However, only $13.6 billion in traditional federal and state funding are envisioned to be available. Maintenance requirements are projected at $12.35 billion over that timeframe, and, therefore, would leave only $1.25 billion left for construction of regional capacity improvement projects. To put that in perspective, the needed improvements to I-264 in Virginia Beach are projected at $2.5 billion. Improvements to I-64 in Chesapeake are at $2 billion and improvements to I-64 on the Peninsula are $2 billion or more. Although tolls can certainly be used for funding for part of the program needs, there are serious downsides to depending exclusively on tolling. Although we are very grateful to the Governor and the General Assembly for the approximately $3 billion in new roadway construction funding, $1.8 billion of those funds are bonds that will be serviced by future federal transportation appropriations. The diversion of funding to preserve the existing public investment can be halted by providing an additional $500 million per year for partially meeting construction needs. Request: The General Assembly is requested to create a long-term sustainable source of additional revenue for transportation of at least $500 million per year. This should be indexed for inflation and could use innovative forms of raising revenue. This could include tolls, vehicle miles traveled fees, gas taxes, etc. 17 Furthermore, the General Assembly is requested to create additional language that would assure the public that any additional funds raised for transportation system maintenance or new construction actual are applied for those purposes. The City supports the condition that a "lockbox" be established to separate any new revenue from the general fund. This language is similar to § 58.1-662 dealing with communications sales and use tax revenue which would address this concern. See Appendix Item 11 (.page 35) for text of the requested legislative change. 18 12. DISCLOSURE LIMITATION FOR UNPAID INVOICES Patricia Phillips Department of Finance Background Information: The purpose of the Virginia Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") is to provide citizen access to public records and meetings. "All public records and meetings shall be presumed open, unless an exemption is properly invoked."2 In addition to the mandates of FOIA, the Virginia Public Procurement Act ("VPPA") provides, subject to certain exceptions, "all proceedings, records, contracts and other public records related to procurement transactions shall be open to the inspection of any citizen, or any interested person, firm or corporation ... "3 In tension with the disclosure requirements of FOIA and the VPPA is the prohibition on the release of specific records by Virginia Code § 58.1-3131. This statute requires the City Treasurer to maintain a record of warrants drawn upon him by the City.4 The "warrant" described by this statute is a City -issued check. With regard to the release of information contained on the list of warrants, § 58.1-3131 provides: No information contained in the list of warrants shall be released for any purpose except (i) that the local governing body may publish aggregated information relating to warrants paid, as classified by expenditure item, recipient, date, or disbursement, or (ii) as a means of establishing the status of a claim previously reported as having been paid when a person legally entitled to the funds presents evidence that a previously submitted claim has not been paid. In no case, however, shall the governing body of any county, city, or town publish any information that is prohibited from release under federal or state law, including but not limited to confidential records held pursuant to § 58.1-3. The staff of the Finance Department receives requests for this information from outside entities in order that the outside entities can directly contact the City's vendors for the purpose of gaining "finder's fees" by informing the vendor of available cash. The Finance Department currently contacts all vendors of uncashed checks and will either reissue a 2 Va. Code § 2.2-3700(B). 3 Va. Code § 2.2-4342(A). 4 A municipal warrant is "an order to draw money from the municipality's treasury for the payment of the municipality's expenses or debts." BLACK'S LAW DICTIONARY 1617 (8th ed. 2004). 19 check or escheat the check to the State. It is unfair that taxpayer resources should be used to develop programs and provide information for the benefit of outside entities. Request: The City requests the General Assembly amend Virginia Code § 58.1-3131 to specifically provide that "unpaid invoices" are included in the list of warrants. For purposes of this request, "unpaid invoices" means invoices that have been presented to a locality for payment and the payment has not been effective either because of a failure of electronic payment or a check was mailed but not cashed. Once paid, the invoices would be subject to the various requirements of FOIA and the VPPA. See Appendix Item 12 (page 36) for text of the requested legislative change. 20 13. WIRELESS E-911 FUND DISTRIBUTION FORMULA CHANGES Athena Plummer Department of Emergency Communications & Citizen Services Background Information: The average annual revenue received by the Commonwealth from the wireless E-911 surcharge is $54,000,000. Approximately $25-28,000,000 is distributed to Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) and carriers under a 60/30/10 formula. From fiscal year 2008 through fiscal year 2011, Virginia Beach has received an average of $1,837,025 as their share of the wireless surcharge. This offsets the Virginia Beach general fund for E-911 personnel and operations. On September 8, 2011, the Wireless E-911 board (15 members) voted to change the distribution formula effective fiscal year 2013. As a result of this change, Virginia Beach will receive 27% less of the wireless surcharge over a 3 year period (70% of the 911 calls received are wireless) resulting in a loss of over $1,000,000. The Hampton Roads region will receive 30% less of the wireless surcharge overall. If the distribution formula remains as recently approved, there will be a negative impact on our ability to hire and retain qualified VB911 employees, and will lessen our opportunities to maintain, repair and upgrade the equipment and applications required for public safety emergency communications and Next Generation 911. Request: The General Assembly is requested to change or modify § 56-484.17(C) to read that the funding distribution can only be changed by legislative approval, and not by a vote of the E- 911 board. This will allow distribution of the wireless surcharge based on the geographic locations from which the fees are collected and the wireless emergency calls are received. See Appendix Item 13 (nage 38) for a chart that displays the Proposed Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) Funding Formula Impact Analysis. 21 14. LINE OF DUTY: DEATH, HEALTH, AND DISABILITY BENEFITS Patricia Phillips Department of Finance Background Information: The Line of Duty Act (LODA) provides benefits to state employees and local sworn government employees, including volunteers. The 2010 Appropriations Act required localities to provide the benefit which was previously funded by the State. The LODA Fund is administered by the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) and provides a funding mechanism for payment of LODA benefits. The state and localities participate automatically in the LODA Fund. However, localities may opt out of participation in the LODA Fund by June 30, 2012. If the City of Virginia Beach does not opt out, it will cost the City $620,502 in FY -13. If the City opts out, then the costs are fully payable by the City, which would be close to $1,000,000. Before the 2010 Appropriation Act was passed, the City did not pay for any of these costs. Request: The 2010 Appropriations Act is essentially an unfunded mandate. We request the General Assembly to pass legislation that would reinstate full funding for LODA benefits at the state level. 22 15. TAXATION OF INTERNET SALES Catheryn Whitesell Department of Management Services Background Information: The state of Virginia has one of the lowest sales tax rates - at 5% - in the country. All sales, whether in bricks and mortar stores or items purchased over the internet, are subject to this 5% tax. The specific term is "sales tax" when an item is purchased from a bricks and mortar store and "use tax" when an item is purchased over the internet. Virginia income tax forms require that individuals who purchase items over the internet reimburse the state for sales tax that they do not pay on those items. In 1992, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that retailers are exempt from collecting sales tax in states where they have no physical presence, such as a store, office, or warehouse. Virginia has not adopted an amendment to the Code of Virginia requiring such tax collection even when there is a "nexus" or physical presence in the state. Most of the large chains of bricks and mortar stores have publicly come out in support of the states collecting sales and use tax on internet purchases. This is because the internet companies operate at a 4% to 9% greater price advantage over local stores based on the sales tax in different states. The lack of taxing internet sales also undermine state and local governments by reducing tax revenues for general fund activities such as schools, police, and other services. This is a growing trend because of the explosion of business being conducted over the internet. A number of states have amended their state code to extend the definition of nexus to cover some web only retailers such as Amazon.com. One school of thought is that because of the large amount of internet servers in Northern Virginia, through which much of the internet traffic for the country is handled, then that constitutes a nexus. Also, recently, California adopted a change to its laws allowing internet sales to be taxed. Amazon.com was pursuing an initiative to overrule that California law, but has recently settled with the state of California and has agreed to pay sales tax in California, which amounts to approximately 12% of their total market base starting in 2012. Although the exact amount of sales tax to be collected is unknown, it is expected to be $200 to $300 million per year by the Government Financial Officers Association (GFOA), for the general fund of the Commonwealth. The General Assembly could also dedicate this new revenue to transportation. 23 Request: The General Assembly is requested to amend the Code of Virginia to allow sales tax to be required to be paid by internet retailers. As mentioned above, this is not a new tax, but is purely a better way of collecting the use tax that is not self reported by Virginia tax payers as they are legally bound to do. This will level the playing field between bricks and mortar businesses, many of which are local small businesses, and the internet businesses. It will also provide much needed revenue to the Commonwealth. 24 16. JOB-RELATED INJURY: CONTINUATION OF LAW ENFOREMENT OFFICER (LEO) BENEFITS Patricia Phillips Department of Finance Background Information: Public safety employees lose the ability to retain the LEO supplement if they are disabled due to a job-related injury and have less than 20 years of service and move to a non -sworn, non LEO position. Public safety employees are some of the most frequently injured, often seriously and incur injuries that may limit their ability to continue working in a sworn position. Despite these injuries, these employees often are able to have significant productive work capacity and a potential to work in non -sworn positions. Presently employees are entitled to disability retirement when an injury renders them unable to perform the essential functions of their specific job. In some cases; however, the employee is capable of performing other work and the locality may have alternate positions available for the employee within the parameters of the employee's medical restrictions. However, if an employee cannot medically continue to perform in a LEO covered position accepted an alternate position, he/she would lose the LEO supplement which can be a determining factor in whether the employee accepts an alternate non - sworn position. Providing an extension of LEO benefits if an employee accepts an alternate non -LEO position within the organization with comparable pay would provide an incentive for employees to remain employed with the local government, and would potentially reduce disability retirements thereby decreasing the expense for the VRS system and the employer. Likewise, it would provide continuous employment and benefits for the employee. Request: The General Assembly is requested to amend Virginia Code § 51.1-138 Benefits as follows: In the case of employees who are hired to positions covered under Virginia Code § 51.1-138 and which are considered LEO covered positions as defined by VRS: if the local government chooses to find an alternate position within its organization or affiliated organization and one is available within the employee's medical restrictions, that would not result in a diminution of salary or benefits, then any person disabled in any covered 25 public safety position who (1) completed five (5) years in the LEO covered position and (2) who takes municipal employment in a non -LEO covered, non -sworn position with the same local government shall retain the rights to the annual allowance in Virginia Code 51.1-206, if the employer elected to provide said benefits, when they qualify for a service retirement. In addition, if said member retires with a service retirement at 25 years or more the service retirements will be unreduced. 26 17. HAMPTON ROADS PARTNERSHIP PRIORITY ITEMS City Council City of Virginia Beach The Council of the City of Virginia Beach supports and endorses the Hampton Roads Partnership's Priority's Items as follows: • Capitalizing the Intercity Passenger Rail Operating and Capital Fund o The request is that a revenue stream be utilized to allow Virginia to meet its requirements as of October 2013 to fund 100% of the operating cost and 25% of the capital equipment costs for existing Amtrak service of 750 miles or less, and all new high-speed rail service. • Creating the Virginia Federal Facilities and Defense Industry Caucus o This would be a caucus of General Assembly members who have military and defense industries, whether private or public, within their jurisdictions. The objectives would be: ■ To build a venue for members to discuss issues that impact the legislative districts in hosting federal installations. ■ To improve awareness regarding these issues and to strategize appropriate measures for addressing issues that may impact the Commonwealth's federal and defense industry. ■ To build coalition support to increase efforts for the United States defense industry. ■ To promote the creation of sufficient and necessary funding of activities to protect and expand Virginia's national defense capabilities. 27 18. MORATORIUM ON URANIUM MINING Thomas M. Leahy, III Department of Public Utilities Background Information: Virginia has had a moratorium on uranium mining since the 1980s. A large deposit of mineable ore has been found in Pittsylvania County. This deposit is upstream, through a series of tributaries, from the source of the Lake Gaston water supply. City Council has previously gone on record as being opposed to the lifting of the moratorium on uranium mining until it can be shown to be no threat to the City's water resource. The developer of the proposed uranium mine has commissioned, through the state, a study by the National Academy of Sciences. The results of that study examining the risks that uranium mining might have as well as the benefits to the Commonwealth are now not expected to be released until late November. The City has funded a study of the risks and is in the process of completing a supplemental study based on the initial study results. That study will not be finished until mid-December. The City believes it is unwise to pursue even the regulation promulgation for uranium mining until the previously mentioned studies, and other related studies, have been reviewed by all those who might be impacted by uranium mining. Request: The General Assembly of Virginia is requested to maintain the moratorium on uranium mining, or the consideration of such, until at least the 2013 General Assembly session. Furthermore, the General Assembly is requested to not have the regulation promulgation process for uranium mining started until 2013, at the earliest. The Council believes it is not appropriate to have the regulation process begun by the Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy (DMME) until the studies that are yet to be completed have been reviewed by all localities and others that may be impacted by uranium mining. 28 19. AUDIT RECORDS OF ONGOING INVESTIGATIONS AND CONFIDENTIAL SOURCES Lyndon S. Remias CityAuditor Background Information: The Freedom of Information Act requires the release of public records, except those records that the General Assembly has excluded from the Act's mandatory disclosure provisions. One such exclusion applies to investigative notes, correspondence and information furnished in confidence with respect to audit investigations by state or local auditors. The exclusion requires that pertinent information about completed investigations be released "in a form that does not reveal the identity of the complainants or persons supplying information to investigators." Accordingly, when the City receives a request for documents pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, the City is authorized to withhold certain documents about ongoing investigations, and the City can protect the identity of confidential informants (even if the investigation has been completed). The Freedom of Information Act, however, is not the only state law that provides public access to records. The Government Data Collection and Dissemination Practices Act generally entitles a person to see almost any records or information about himself. The purpose of the Act is to allow citizens to see information that the government has about them and to enable them to compel the government to correct erroneous information about an individual. The wording of the Government Data Act is so broad, however, that an employee who is the subject of an ongoing fraud, waste and abuse audit investigation into the employee's alleged misconduct can use the Act to demand copies of any and all documents regarding the ongoing investigation—even information about other citizens or employees who have confidentially provided auditors with information in the course of the investigation. The Government Data Act contains an exclusion for records of the State Internal Auditor or internal audit departments of state agencies or institutions that deal with communications and investigations relating to the State Employee Fraud, Waste and Abuse Hotline, but, unlike the Freedom of Information Act, the Government Data Act contains no similar exclusion for records of local auditors. 29 Request: The City requests that the General Assembly amend section § 2.2-3802(12) of the Code of Virginia to include an exclusion for both state and local auditor records that concern fraud, waste and abuse investigations. See Appendix Item 19 (a e 7) for text of the requested legislative change. 30 1. CONTINUED FUNDING FOR BRAC EFFORT James K. Spore City Manager Background Information: Since January, 2007, the City of Virginia Beach and the Commonwealth of Virginia have been partnering to address the concerns that were raised by the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission in 2005. This partnership has involved the cost sharing of $15 million annually to purchase properties in the APZ-1 and Clear Zone areas around Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana and in the Interfacility Traffic Area (ITA) between Oceana and the Naval Auxiliary Landing Field Fentress. The City has established a policy of spending $7.5 million per year to comply with the BRAC Order, with the expectation that the Commonwealth will provide matching funds for expenses associated with the acquisition of land in the APZ-1 and Clear Zone areas around Oceana and in the ITA. The City will keep its commitment to the military by to continuing its policy of spending $7.5 million each year to protect NAS Oceana and requests that the General Assembly provide a matching amount for FY 2011-13. Request: Request that the General Assembly provide $7.5 million in annual funding through the Military Strategic Response Fund in FY 2012-13 to the City of Virginia Beach to meet the requirements of the BRAC Compliance Plan. Providing these funds will reinforce our joint commitment and reinforce our message to the U.S. Navy that the Commonwealth and City of Virginia Beach are dedicated to preserving Naval Air Station Oceana. This positive message and the results we have achieved through the Commonwealth/City partnership will benefit not only the preservation of NAS Oceana but send a clear signal to the military about Virginia's support of all bases throughout the state. 31 APPENDIX: DRAFTS OF PROPOSED LEGISLATION - KEYED TO REQUESTED CODE CHANGE 32 LEGISLATIVE ITEM 4 AUTHORITY GRANTING THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH CONCURRENT JURISDICTION WITH THE COMMONWEALTH IN IDENTIFIED WATERS OFF THE CITY SHORES Chief James A.

All such warrants shall be paid, in the order presented, out of the fund drawn upon. No information contained in the list of warrants including invoices that have been presented to a locality for payment the locality has attempted to pay, and the payment has not been effective because of failure of electronic payment or a check was mailed and but not cashed, shall be released for any purpose except (i) that the local governing body may publish aggregated information relating to warrants paid, as classified by expenditure item, recipient, date, or disbursement, or (ii) as a means of establishing the status of a claim previously reported as having been paid when a person legally entitled to the funds presents evidence that a previously submitted claim has not been paid. In no case, however, shall the governing body of any county, city, or town publish any information that is prohibited from release under federal or state law, including but not limited to confidential records held pursuant to § 58.1-3. 36 LEGISLATIVE ITEM 19 AUDIT RECORDS OF ONGOING INVESTIGATIONS AND CONFIDENTIAL SOURCES Lyndon S.

Grimstead, Sr. Seatack Community Recreation Center" MEETING DATE: November 1, 2011 ■ Background: Two hundred years ago, the Seatack community was established near the Oceanfront in what would later become the City of Virginia Beach. This historically African-American community played a vital role in our City's history. Around 1948, African-American community members established the Seatack Volunteer Fire Department, which was the only all -black fire department in the nation at the time of its formation. The Seatack Volunteer Fire Department was located at 141 South Birdneck Road which, since the turn of the century, had been the site of a three-room schoolhouse for African-American students grades 1 through 7, established by Seatack community member Sarah Parsons Daughtry. In the 1950s, the school's trustees deeded the property to the Seatack Volunteer Fire Department, and the schoolhouse was converted to a community center a decade later. Joseph V. Grimstead, Sr. is one of the only surviving founding members of the Seatack Volunteer Fire Department. Mr. Grimstead also served as a founding director of Seatack Community Property, Inc., which held the deed to the land at 141 South Birdneck Road. In 1985, Mr. Grimstead, who was then the President of Seatack Community Property, Inc., signed a deed dedicating the property to the City of Virginia Beach for the construction of a facility to be named "Seatack Community Center." In 1988, the City completed construction of a new center, and in 1997, the City finished construction of an expanded recreation center with greater amenities. Considerations: But for the efforts of Mr. Grimstead, the current -day Seatack Community Recreation Center might never have been built. In recognition of Mr. Grimstead's pivotal role both in the establishment of the Seatack Community Recreation Center and in our City's history, in this, the two hundredth year of the historic Seatack community, this resolution will rename the Seatack Community Recreation Center, located at 141 South Birdneck Road as the Joseph V. Grimstead, Sr. Seatack Community Recreation Center. ■ Public Information: This item will be advertised in the same manner as other agenda items. ■ Attachments: Resolution Requested by Councilmembers Sherrod and Uhrin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 REQUESTED BY COUNCILMEMBERS SHERROD AND UHRIN A RESOLUTION RENAMING THE SEATACK COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTER AS "THE JOSEPH V.

A master plan for the Thalia Creek Greenway was presented to City Council in September 2007. The Department of Parks and Recreation desires to submit an application for grant funding for Phase 1A of the Greenway. ■ Considerations: The Transportation Enhancement Grant Program requires that a resolution be approved by City Council in support of the application. Based on the Master Plan that was completed in April 2007, the Department of Parks and Recreation developed a phased plan for the construction of the Greenway. The phased plan is provided as an attachment. The Department of Parks and Recreation is requesting funding for Phase 1A of the greenway under the Transportation Enhancement Grant Program in the amount of $770,000. City matching funds of $200,000 will be required if the grant is awarded. The source for the matching funds has been identified in CIP 4- 074 "City Bikeways and Trails Plan Implementation — Phase 1." The total cost for design and construction of Phase 1A of the Thalia Creek Greenway is estimated to be $970,000. If the grant funding for the project is approved with the current application, it is the intent of the Department of Parks and Recreation to apply for additional funding under the Transportation Enhancement Grant Program in subsequent years to cover future project phases. A portion of the greenway has been built adjacent to the CityView One apartment complex. Other portions adjacent to that property are planned as parts of other private development projects. With those, Phase 1A will complete the section from Independence Boulevard to Constitution Drive. ■ Public Information: The Department of Parks and Recreation held several public information meetings during the development of the master plan for the Thalia Creek Greenway. The master plan was completed and published in April 2007. City Council was briefed on the master plan in September 2007. In early October 2008, the project grant application was endorsed by the Hampton Roads Metropolitan Planning Organization. In furtherance of soliciting public input, a public hearing will be advertised in the Beacon for this item, and the hearing will be held on November 1, 2011.

These revenues are used to restore or abate environmental damage to wetlands, beaches, dunes and Chesapeake Bay Preservation Areas within the City. Funds collected from these civil penalties have been used to undertake a wide range of restoration activities in the City. ■ Considerations: Since FY 2009-10, a combination of realized revenue from civil penalties and unused appropriations designated for wetlands, beaches, dunes, and Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area activities has resulted in a total of $39,658 falling to the fund balance of the General Fund. In addition, the City has collected $10,600 in civil penalties in FY 2011-12. Funds from civil penalties can only be used for restoration and damage abatement associated with wetlands, beaches, dunes, and Chesapeake Bay Preservation Areas. Future projects that are anticipated to be funded from civil penalties are: • A beach and dunes restoration study for the City's Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay shorelines, with assistance from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, with recommendations implemented in harmony with the City's beach nourishment activities; and A series of wetlands restoration studies for each of the City's watersheds containing tidal wetlands, with assistance from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, with recommendations implemented in harmony with the City's tidal wetlands mitigation requirements ■ Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal City Council agenda process. ■ Recommendations: Approval of the attached budget amendment. ■ Attachments: Ordinance Recommended Action: Approval of Ordinance Submitting Department/Agency: Department of Planning and Community Development City Manager• S L 1 AN ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE CIVIL PENALTY 2 FUNDS TO THE OPERATING BUDGET OF THE 3 DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND COMMUNITY 4 DEVELOPMENT FOR RESTORATION AND DAMAGE 5 ABATEMENT ACTIVITIES 6 7 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, 8 VIRGINIA: 9 10 1.

The School Operating Fund (Fund 115) contains four major classifications: Administration, Attendance, and Health; Instruction; Operations and Maintenance; and Pupil Transportation. The School Technology Fund (Fund 106) was formerly part of the School Operating Fund, but it currently is a separate fund in the Budget. Because the requested transfers are between the major classifications, City Council approval is required. ■ Considerations: The School Board's resolution requests a transfer of $943,360 from the Instruction Category of the Operating Fund to the Technology Fund, a transfer of $412,279 from the Administration Category of the Operating Fund to the Technology Fund, and $30,000 from the Operations and Maintenance Category of the Operating Fund to the Technology Fund. The School's total budget remains balanced, and this transfer will not change total appropriations to the School Board for FY 2011-12. The School Board intends to use the funds for technology related purchases including contracted services, license renewals, software support and maintenance, computers, monitors, printers, and other technology related items. ■ Public Information: Information will be disseminated to the public through the normal Council agenda process. ■ Attachments: School Board Resolution, Ordinance Recommended Action: Submitting Department/Agency: Virginia Beach City Public Schools City Manager: S �-' -)3w"L 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 AN ORDINANCE TO TRANSFER FUNDS FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD'S FY 2011-12 OPERATING FUND TO THE SCHOOL TECHNOLOGY FUND FOR COMPUTERS AND TECHNOLOGY SUPPLIES BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: That $1,385,639 is hereby transferred within the FY 2011-12 School Budget in the amounts set forth below: (1) $943,360 from the Instruction Classification of the Operating Fund to the Technology Fund; (2) $412,279 from the Administration, Attendance, and Health Classification of the Operating Fund to the Technology Fund; and (3) $30,000 from the Operations and Maintenance Classification of the Operating Fund to the Technology Fund.

BEACH DISTRICT. MEETING DATE: November 1, 2011 ■ Background: The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow development of the site for an ice skating rink. The proposed use will be operated in conjunction with the Holiday Lights tour on the Boardwalk. Customers may purchase tickets for the light tour that include use of the rink, or may purchase tickets separately to use the rink. The rink will be open seven days a week. Hours of operation will be 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. weekdays and Noon to Midnight on the weekends. The operation has nine employees, a general manager, three shift managers, and five skate guards. The off -ice areas around the rink contains the admissions building, skate rental tent, and equipment buildings. ■ Considerations: This type of resort recreational use is strongly encouraged in the resort area, especially for the off-season. The ice skating rink will draw residents and visitors to the area during the winter season when they are most needed. Even though the use is seasonal and portable, design is important to ensure the level of quality desired in the resort area.

LAND USE AND PLAN INFORMATION EXISTING LAND USE: Commercial parking lot THE OCEAN FRONT INN Agenda Item 6 Page 1 SURROUNDING LAND North: USE AND ZONING: South: East: West: NATURAL RESOURCE AND CULTURAL FEATURES: • 30th Street • Alley, Hotel/Motel and Retail / RT -2 Resort Tourist • Atlantic Avenue • Pacific Avenue There are no significant natural resources or cultural features associated with the site. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Urban Area - Resort Strategic Growth Area (SGA) is recognized as an area where revitalization efforts have and continue to transform the Resort Area into a major activity center, strengthen neighborhoods and increase economic growth. The subject site lies between the Atlantic and Pacific Avenue corridors (Oceanfront Corridor) and just south of the Laskin Gateway District as identified in the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan (RASAP). The RASAP encourages a continued focus on achieving a "Year - Round Resort." CITY SERVICES MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Access to this site is currently available from Atlantic Avenue and 29th 1/2 Street east of Pacific Avenue. Atlantic Avenue is a 3 -lane roadway (2 -lane with an additional trolley lane) with a 60 -ft right of way. In addition, 29th %2 Street is a narrow alley with a twenty -foot (20') wide right of way. No roadway CIP projects are currently scheduled for either of these streets. The proposed use for this site as an outdoor ice skating rink does not appear to add vehicular traffic beyond what the site is currently zoned for, or beyond what the surrounding roadway network can adequately handle. Therefore, Traffic Engineering has no traffic concerns at this time related to the proposed use.
