Wood Council Members Voting Nay: None Council Members Absent: None Council Members Abstaining: Rosemary Wilson March 27, 2012 -31- Item -V-G CI TY MANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713 Mayor Sessoms introduced City Manager James Spore. Mr. Spore advised that the Charter requires the City Manager propose an annual balanced budget a budget. Through the City's financial planning and management process we knew it was going to be another difficult year from a budgetary standpoint. The recovery from the deep Recession has been slower than many of us would have hoped. Real Estate values continue to decline for a fourth year in a row. In November, the annual update to the Five Year Forecast projected a X90-Million gap between anticipated revenues and expenditure requirements. Depending on the General Assembly's actions to modify the Virginia Retirement System, the gap could grow another $7-Million. The School Board has requested an additional $36-Million beyond the $356-Million in local revenue originally allocated for Schools. .:n. y~~:.~ ~ _ ~'ei~.~tina Bu~d~~~ Capita;. :, One thing we hope this Budget demonstrates is that we are all in this together as the City's Budget, the School's Budget and the State's Budget are interdependent. With the recent State Senate Action, hopefully a State Budget will be emerging from the Conference Committee soon. Once adopted, both the City and the Schools will need to adjust their respective Budgets prior to this City Council's adoption in May. March 27, 2012 -32- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Co~atinued) Faced with declining real estate values the fourth year in a row with and three previous years of tightening Budgets, the community is at a key decision point. That decision is simply, "do we want to maintain the current services that we have all come to expect, enjoy and value and continue our exceptional quality of life, or make yet deeper cuts and allow our quality of life and vision for the future to,fade"? This is a reality check. We cannot continue to provide the same service levels with reduced revenues; especially when major expenditure items such as health care, pensions and energy are dramatically increasing. The proposed Budget holds total operating expenditures to a level slightly below four years ago at the start of the Recession. Total expenditures for City and School's are proposed to increase 1/10"' of 1 % for 201, compared to the current Budget year. Mr. Spore stated that this Budget is a responsible solution. Mr. Spore introduced Catheryn Whitesell, Director -Management Services to present the details for FY 2012-2013. March 27, 2012 -33- Item -V-G CITY MANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Continued) Ms. Whitesell advised this Budget presentation has been rather chaotic with the changes in the General Assembly. The good news is we are starting to see a decline in unemployment rates. Virginia Beach is currently at 5.7% unemployment rate, slightly better than in December 2011. The State is at 5.8%. The City and State are well below the national unemployment rate of 8.3%. Consumer confidence is increasing. A ninety (90) on this index indicates a stable economy while a fifty (SO) would indicate a contracting economy. The current index is nearly seventy-one (71) which is far better than the twenty-five (25) at the peak of the Recession. However, another round of European debt crises; and lack of a resolution on our federal debt; continued rising gas prices, major cuts in local defense spending, could all negatively impact consumer confidence, and thereby, adversely impact some of the City's Revenue Streams March 27, 2012 -34- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Continued) The briefing on Regional Benchmarks in January noted our region fared much better in the housing crisis than other large metropolitan areas. We neither rose as high in the run up nor have we fallen as far. The graph illustrates key MSAs from 2006 through 2010 divided into two time periods. First 2006 through 2008: other areas were already seeing declines in home values while the Hampton Roads Region was still seeing some positive growth. From 2007 to 2010: all of these MSA's were losing home value, but again Hampton Roads was losing less than many of the others and less than the U.S. average. While the previous graph gives some consolation that the City was not as bad off as some, home values in Virginia Beach have fallen four (4) consecutive years from the peak in FY 2009. This graph represents the year-to year change in assessments; it does not factor in the 33 cents tax rate reduction City Council approved from 2005 through 2008 to offset the increases in assessments, nor does it reflect that the City Council retained a rate of 89 cents for three (3) consecutive years of depreciation. By factoring in, the rate was lowered during the period of appreciation and retained during the period of depreciation. The average annual change in residential property tax bills from FY 04 through FY 13, even at the proposed tax rate increase, will only be 2.82%. The total change in assessments at the proposed tax rate increases. The annual average change will be only 2.13%. March 27, 2012 -35- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Continued) Virginia Beach has a median hoicsehold income of $60,674, the third highest in the Region. The City has a per capita income is $44,999 which is highest in the Region. The City's economy is doing modestly better and hopefully will continue to strengthen. The City's Budget is facing serious fixed cost increases. March 27, 2012 -36- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Continued) The proposed budget is growing by $1.7-Million or 1/10`x' of a percent. It is actually $6-Million less than the FY 2008-09 Budget which was $1.765-Billion. Departments seeing reductions are Family and Youth and Quality Education. Both are losing State and Federal Revenue. The State took over a Child Day Care program which reduced the revenue to the Family and Youth Department. Federal Stimulus funding has been eliminated as a revenue source for the School System in the proposed budget. This loss is being partially offset in this Business Area by the new Joint Use Library opening next fiscal year. All other areas are showing some growth. Reserve for Contingencies is up due to a fuel and energy reserve, as well as a reserve to cover the increased cost related to the mandated VRS pay raise. Safe community is up due to the opening of the Town Center Fire Station and completing the staffing for the Animal Shelter. Cultural and Recreational Opportunities is up 2.2% which reflects the operation of the Williams Farm Recreation Center. A major cost driver accounting for nearly half the $90-Million deficit is the rising cost of retirement and life insurance. Both the City and Schools included the increase in the employer rates in the Five Year Forecast; however, the cost increased by $7.7-Mmillion due to the mandate to provide a 5% offsetting pay raise to requiring the employees to pay the 5% employee rate. Both the City and Schools have been paying this on behalf the employees for many years. The Legislation that passed requires the City make current employees or "Plan 1 "employees pay the employee 5% but also requires that the City provide a S% pay raise. The School System has the option to phase this in over five (S) years. The City currently cloes not have that option. Since this mandate takes effect July 1, 2012, the Budget includes funding for both the City and Schools to provide a 5%pay increase to offset the requirement that employees pay S% towards their VRS. The City has employees, those hired since July 1 2010, who are already paying S% towards their VRS. The Legislation only requires a pay raise for employees hired before that date. The proposed budget does not recommend that we provide a pay raise to these "Plan 2"employees since the payment of the 5% to VRS was a condition of their employment. The Virginia Municipal League and other groups are lobbying the General Assembly to make modifications to this Legislation with the adoption of the State's Budget. The proposed modifications include allowing localities to phase this in similar to the Schools option. The proposed Budget is positioned as the "worst case " where both City and Schools implement a S% pay raise and the requirement for employees to pay 5% on July 1. Any modification could release some of the reserve for other needs. March 27, 2012 -37- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Continued) The City has been using the fund balance to subsidize both the employee's premium costs as well as the City's employer's cost to the Health Insurance Program. The proposed Budget recommends changes to the premiums in the Health Insurance Program. The City has not increased the employer contribution to health care since 2008 and the fund balance of the fund has been used to absorb needed increases in both the employer portion and the employee's portion. That is no longer an option. March 27, 2012 -38- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Continued) The proposed Budget recommends funding the cost to open new facilities at $9.4-Million. The proposed amount includes adding 68.6 new Full Time Employee's (FTE's). The City was able to avoid hiring 28 additional employees for two years by transferring staff from Bow Creek Recreation Center while closed fo~° renovation to the new Williams Farm Recreation Center. However, in FY 201 S 28 FTE's will be needed to staff the Bow Creek Recreation Center. The new ladder truck at the Town Center station will require 12 additional fire fighters and the Joint Use Library which is in partnership with Tidewater Community College is requiring 39 additional staff. There is no longer a School Funding Formula. The old formula would have provided the Schools $5- Million less than this fiscal year due to declines in real estate taxes. The target amount provided to the Schools was $356-Million, just over $7-Million less than received this fiscal year. The proposed Budget recommends an additional $18.8-Million more in local funding which will cover all but 17.6-Million of the School's request. March 27, 2012 -39- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Continued) The proposed Budget is $1.7-Million higher than the current year's Budget due to absorbing a great deal of new costs. The City and Schools are spending $Sl.l -Million in new benefit costs required to keep employee's health insurance and pension system solvent. This is the equivalent of a nearly 6% pay raise. This is before the additional cost of the new VRS mandates. The proposed Budget also includes opening foicr (4) new facilities requiring additional staff and debt costs. All totaled, this over $75-Million in new costs. Without these drivers, the proposed Budget would be at $1.68-Billion or $82-Million less than the FY 2009 Budget. While this Budget funds a lot of programs, services and mandates, it cannot cover ever thing. Some services for both the City and Schools are being reduced. Over the past four (4) years, we have eliminated 273 positions and this year will eliminate an additional 16, even with the opening of new facilities. March 27, 2012 -40- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Continued) Real estate is the City's single largest revenue source and is critical to maintain City and School services. bi November, during the Five Year Forecast, it was thought real estate assessments would drop by 5.5% on average. The "good news " is that it only dropped by 3.7%. This is the fourth year of dropping values. The average home value has dropped from $259,400 in 2009 to $219,900 in FY 2013. That decrease in assessed value has meant a loss of $66.5-Million in revenue to the City over those four years. The proposed Budget recommends a 04 Cent increase in the rate to maintain revenue from current properties at the 2012 level. This 04 Cent increase would generate $19-Million in revenues. March 27, 2012 -41- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Continued) The table below shows the decrease in the median home value from the current fiscal year till next, even with the 04 Cent rate increase means a $10.00 reduction in the tax bill. The graph distributes the percent of homes by the percent change in home values. The majority of homeowners will see a decrease in their assessments, with nearly 81 % of homeowners seeing a decrease between 20% to 1 % less than their current year assessment. Overall, 57% percent of homeowners will see a decrease in their tax bill even with the 04 Cent increase in the rate. The below graph illustrates the revenue to the City that impact the decline in property values has had. The small dashed line shows the revenue including the 04 Cent tax increase. March 27, 2012 -42- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Continued) This revenue is recovering from the Recession with an estimated increase of 7.1 % over FY 2012. The growth is driven by improvements in business, personal property, stronger new car sales and used cars maintaining value. The State Personal Property Tax Relief Act credit will cover 59% of the bill for the first $20, 000 in value. ___ - __--- - - - The next three revenues are most tied to economic volatility and can provide early indications of economic troubles. During the Recession most were in decline, especially General Sales reflecting the lack of consumer confidence. Since last Summer all three revenues are in positive growth although not nearly the kind of growth they had experienced before the Recession. March 27, 2012 -43- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Continued) General Sales Tax Revenue for FY 2011 finished 2.9% higher than FY 2010. Sales have had positive growth for 21 of the last 24 months. Growth is returning slowly, but not close to the growth experienced in 1997 to 2007 where average growth was 4.7% per year. The FY 2013 General Sales forecast estimates revenue to achieve the FY 2008 level. The State's share of Sales Tax for Schools is expected to decline 4.5 % from the FY 2012 Budget based on the State's estimate. This is a portion of the General Sales Tax Revenue collected by the State and redistributed by the State to the School Systems based on student enrollment and changes in basic aid. Even though the State is forecasting a 5.7% growth in sales, the State Budget is showing this funding to the School System declining. The graph below shows the base Hotel Tax excluding the flat tax and the amount collected for Sandbridge. This has performed well through the Recession generating $23.4-Million; however, this revenue stream is highly dedicated to special programs. The pie chart indicates the various dedications and only 25% remains in the General Fund. The $1 per room night flat tax that benefits the Tourism Advertising Fund is just over $1.9-Million and the Hotel Tax generated within the Sandbridge SSD is expected to be $1.3-Million in FY 2013. March 27, 2012 -44- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Continued) Restaurant Meals Tax never experienced negative growth, though the growth was effectively flat for two (2) years prior (2009 and 2010). This is likely to indicate that eating out is no longer a luxury for most families. TI~e Utility Tax revenue is comprised of four (4) components, Electric and Gas Utility Taxes, Electric and Gas Consumption Tax, Water Utility Tax and Virginia Telecommunications Tax. The State collects the Virginia Telecommunications Tax and distributes it back to localities based on a formula developed when the General Assembly passed legislation consolidating all local Telecommunications Taxes. The intent of this Legislation was to be revenue neutral to localities. From the graph below this is not the case. At least part of the decline is related to consumers giving up landline phones and the market is saturated with mobile phones at this point; most adults have one and the growth is in those individuals -teens and preteens -who get a mobile phone for the first time. There have been a number of large rebates given by the State that have impacted this revenue stream. The long-term impact of these rebates is unknown because the City does not receive data whether these are one-time rebates or permanent exonerations. Overall electric and gas utilities are essentially even. Water is increasing 4%, primarily related to rate increases versus usage. Consumption is down slightly. March 27, 2012 -45- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Continued) The Business License Tax is trending upward with a 2.6% increase over the current year's estimate as seen in the graph below. However, because BPOL comes in so late, it is difficult to project. The Commissioner of Revenue's Office indicates the number of licenses issued is up 17% from last year. This may be more of an indication that businesses are feeling healthier with the improving economy and are paying earlier. FY 2012 collections of Cigarette Taxes are expected to exceed the Budget estimate by nearly $400, D00, more in line with FY 2011. Therefore, the proposed Budget estimate is 3.2% higher than the current fiscal year. March 27, 2012 -46- Item -V-G CITY MANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Coiztinued) The Amusement Tax Revenue has been fully dedicated to the tourism investment program (formerly known as major projects and TGIF). We are predicting this revenue will grow by 8.6% over the current year's estimate due in large part to the increase in revenue from the Virginia Destroyers. City Departments are asked to adjust rates in the various fees and charges to keep up with costs of services and reduce subsidies from general taxes. There is a complete list of fee increases included in the Ba~dget Executive Summary on page 57; however, the major adjustments are the previously approved Sewer ($3.5-Million) and Storm Water ($4.6-Million) rate increases, several proposed increases in Recreation Fees( $1.1-Million) and a new Technology Fee in Planning to support the new Customer Access Automation System (Accela). March 27, 2012 -47- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Conti~iued) Automobile licenses are up 3.8% reflecting the strong new car purchases. Cable Franchise Taxes are also up again. This revenue did well through the Recession and continues to show strong growth primarily through upgrades in services packages and cost increases from providers rather than new customers. The total State funding is $439,482,853, of which Schools accounts for $327- Million (74.4%) and City $112.3-Million (25.6%). The total State funding increased 0.96%from FY 2012 adjusted budget. March 27, 2012 -- - -48- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Continued) Total Federal Revenues is $120,131,944, of which Schools receive $79.9-Million (66.5%) and City receives $40.3-Million (33.5%). The total Federal funding decreased 21.5% from FY 2012 adjusted budget primarily due to the loss of Federal Stimulus funding for education. The graph below shows 3% of the proposed budget is covered by Fund Balance. The City is judiciously using General Fund Balance to avoid major impacts to community services or the need for a higher tax rate increase. The proposed Budget is within the City Council's General Fund Balance Policy of maintaining 8 to 10 % of next year's revenues. The proposed budget uses $21.7-Million of General Fund Balance, but remains at 9.6% of FY2013's revenue estimates. March 27, 2012 -49- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Continued) Overall, revenues are increasing as the economy improves. In total, the Operating Budget is up $1.7- Million or just 1/10`x' of a percent. The proposed Budget does rely on use of Fund Balance at $53.5- Million, total of which $21.7-Million is General Fund and it includes a proposed real estate rate increase of 04 Cents. March 27, 2012 -50- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Continued) The major focus of the proposed FY 2012-13 CIP is the replacement, maintenance and renewal of the existing capital assets. While it may be easy to defer replacement and maintenance of assets during tough fiscal times, in doing so this ultimately increases annual operating expenditures and the asset may not meet current needs, which is why replacing projects like Kellam High School, Old Donation/Kemps Landing Magnet School, the 4`~` Precinct and replacing and relocating the Parks and Recreation Administrative Building on Lynnhaven Parkway is critical to meeting the citizen's current needs. The City reviewed all of its buildings and ranked the top 13 buildings needing replacement. The 4``' Precinct and the Parks and Recreation Administrative off ces were on that list. The City also has important Storm Water needs that must be met. FY 2013 is the 2"d year of the City Council approved three year phase-in of a rate increase to address the backlog of needed food control, water quality, and operations and maintenance needs. FY 2013 is the 3'~d year of a four (4) year, stepped Sewer Rate increase to support the Capital and Operating Budget impact of the Regional Consent Order. March 27, 2012 -51- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Continued) The graph below shows the City's focus on existing assets. Almost 80% of the Six-Year Program is focused on the replacement, renovation of existing capital assets. With the remaining 20% of the program focused on issues like new facilities, design and site acquisition. The self supporting Storm Water and Water/Sewer Utilities make up the largest proportion of funding. Li the General Government portion of the CIP, the Schools have the largest amount of funding. The roadway section is the 2"d largest proportion of general government funding. While the Governor's Transportation Plan and Federal Stimulus funding helped address recent roadway needs, there is no sustainable transportation funding coming from the State in the future. The Parks and Recreation Section includes the funding for the recently approved acquisition of Pleasure House Point; however, due to declining real estate assessments, which is one of the major dedicated sources for Parks and Recreation projects, the modernization of Kempsville Recreation Center had to be removed from the Six Year Plan. The Coastal Section includes dredging projects, including the first Neighborhood Dredging Project supported by a Special Service District rate -Old Donation Creek. This section also includes beach replenishment projects for Sandbridge and the Resort Area. Two-thirds of the Economic and Tourism Section is for the BRAC Project, but does include funding for the Rudee Inlet Connector Walk nor Burton Station, Newtown Road and Rosemont Strategic Growth Areas. One of the major focus areas in last year's Budget was addressing deficiencies in funding for technology projects. While there was limited funding to move this focus area forward, two (2) significant projects include the Police's Integrated Public Safety Record Management System and the Communications Infrastructure Replacement project. March 27, 2012 -52- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Continued) The funding for the Six Year Program is detailed on the slide below. The largest source of funding is debt, which represents a little less than half of the funding sources for the CIP. Two local cash sources, Pay-As-You-Go and Fund Balances, represent about 40% of the CIP. The biggest concern is that State and Federal Sources represent the remaining 10% of the funding. The lack of sustainable State money for transportation construction funds is not just a City issue but a Regional issue as well. The roadways don't just stop at the City's borders, and the lack of transportation funding will affect daily commutes to ~~ork, impact commerce within the Region and could impact the tourism industry. Lack of State Funding is also impacting the Schools. Lottery funds for school construction have been redirected into the State Budget and State construction funding for Schools has been eliminated. This is an annual loss of $10- Million that once was available for school construction. March 27, 2012 -53- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Continued) The table below compares the proposed Six Year Program to last year. Over the next six years, the City will spend around $60-Million less on its capital construction and maintenance needs than it planned in FY 2011-12. The largest reduction is in Roadways. While the Governor's Transportation Plan allowed important projects to move forward in the FY 2011-12 CIP such as the Lesner Bridge Replacement, Witchduck Road -Phase II, and Holland Road -Phase VI, the State is no longer providing sustainable roadway construction funding. Overall, the Schools CIP is decreasing mainly due to the previously mentioned issues concerning the loss of State Lottery funds for construction and the loss of State school construction funding. The other issue is the Schools, like the City, have redirected Pay-As-You-Go financing from the Operating Budget to the CIP to preserve critical services. Two areas are seeing somewhat significant increases. The first area is utilities, including storm water and water/sewer, due to the storm water backlog and the Regional Consent Order. The other is buildings, which has a heavy focus on renewal and replacement of existing infrastructure. March 27, 2012 -54- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Cor~tinued) Comparing this CIP to the FY 2009 CIP provides a good summary of how funding has changed. The FY 2008-09 CIP was adopted before the impacts of the Recession were significantly felt. Reduction in cash funding was primarily replaced with bonds/lease purchases and by reducing projects in the Six Year Capital Improvement Program, which increases the backlog of needed projects. When comparing means of financing for the FY 2008-09 CIP directly to the proposed FY 2012-13, the overall CIP Six Year Program funding has decreased by 8%. The largest reduction in funding is Pay-As-You-Go, which decreased by $134.8-Million or 27%. The City has not fully allocated Charter Bonds. Approximately $77-Million is available over the Six-Year CIP to address City Council's strategic initiatives. The loss of State Funding is probably understated above because some of the State Funding for transportation was spent directly by the State and did not come through the City. Although resources were limited over the previous five years, City Council remained focused on the needs of the community and accelerated the funding of key projects like the Joint Use Library with Tidewater Community College, John B. Dey Elementary School , Old Donation/Kemps Landing Magnet School, the Williams Farm Recreation Center, Town Center Fire and Rescue Station and the Animal Care and Adoption Center. March 27, 2012 -55- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Continued) Almost all of any additional funding over the six years was placed in replacement/maintenance projects as noted in the project listing below. More detail about these projects can be found in the Capital Improvement Program document. Most of the funding for the projects shown below is not available until years 3 - 6 of the Capital Improvement Program. March 27, 2012 -56- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Continued) The CIP remains focused on maintenance and modernization projects. The proposed budget recommends an increase of the Real Estate Tax rate and use General Fund Balance to support School and City programs. Even though Real Estate Tax Revenues are still declining, most other local revenues are improving. The major issues in the proposed Budget are related to increases in fixed costs of Retirement and Health Care. March 27, 2012 -57- Item -V-G CITYMANAGER'S PRESENTATION ITEM #61713(Continued) The chart below provides information for how the $90-Million deficit of the Five Year Forecast was closed. The $90-Million deficit included the increase in VRS and Health Insurance costs, as well as a 3% pay raise for School Employees. Other costs included were inflationary increases and opening the four (4) new facilities. The Five Year Forecast used a much worse decline in Real Estate Tax Assessments than was reported to you in February allowing some improvement in revenue since the forecast. All three Rating Agencies have maintained the City's Triple A Bond Rating. In its review, Fitch noted the City's detailed financial monitoring and substantial financial flexibility. The proposed Budget seeks to maintain the quality of life this community deserves, the services it expects from its government and School system while being as financially conservative as possible.

From his observation, the Board Members are ext~°emely committed to Wildlife Response and excited about the proposal. This project has been a labor of love for the past six (6) years for him. WRI received an endorsement from the Christian Chapel Assembly of God, a nearby church community owning an adjacent parcel of land. The Center does not seek to supplant or replace home based rehabilitators but rather to compliment their work and give them a place to bring wildlife that is too critical or difficult to work with at their home. WRI is the appropriate party to operate this facility by providing over twenty (20) years of wildlife rehabilitation services to Hampton Roads.

We are respectively asking for an interest-free loan from the City to facilitate this acquisition. We are asking for afive-year repayment term. The amount requested is $300,000. The total cost prior to equipping these new units is $330.000 and totals $480,000 equipped. The Squad received a 50/50 grant from the OEMS RSAF grant program. However, due to the model year that the Squad has opted to purchase OEMS reduced our grant portion to $90,000. The Squad will use $90,000 of our own money to make up the difference between the City loan and OEMS grant funds. VBVRS continues to lead the volunteer EMS system with nearly 240 members. As a result of our large number of members, we are regularly staffing stations throughout the City. It is commonplace to have 30 to 40% of the daily staffing comprised of VBVRS volunteers. Our members are often staffing Rescue 2, 7,16, and others as directed by the EMS Scheduling Chief. Last year, VBVRS was dispatched to nearly 13,000 calls, one-third of all the calls citywide.ln addition to providing citywide coverage, we are constantly requested to staff dozens of standby events each year due to our proximity to the oceanfront area. Our ambulance committee has worked very hard to specify abest-value purchase for the Squad. In addition to visiting the manufacturers' production facility, we have reached out to Reginald Padgett, Division Head of Automotive Services for his advice and recommendations on chassis and body selection. We are purchasing a different make and model than we have previously used based in part, on his recommendations. We are ready to issue a purchase order to our dealer and plan to take advantage of prepayment discounts offered us, therefore, we are requesting an immediate distribution of loan proceeds once approved by you and then City Council. We appreciate your consideration and assistance with this loan.

Modification of a Conditional Use Permit to reconfigure church property The following registered to speak: Bob Miller, 5033 Rouse Drive, Phone: 490-926, spoke in FAVOR. Mr. Miller is a Professional Engineer, a resident and business owner in Virginia Beach. In response to questions from Members of City Council, Mr. Miller advised the area in front of the each garage shall be 18 x 18, making it two (2) parking spaces, not including the garage. The project is 1.68 acres. Originally this Project was less acreage and at the request of Staff, the Church agreed to additional acreage. It is important to note that although the acreage increased, the number of units did not. The additional acreage was added to the "Open Space " thereby increasing the amount of Open Space from 19% to 24%. The development has sidewalks throughout to access the open space areas. Landscaping was added at the request of The Planning Commisson and they modified the building architecture at the request of Staff. A privacy fence was added along the Summerset Condominium side as well as along the Church side with landscaping on the outside of that fence. The street design does not meet the City's standards for subdivisions but does meet the standards for private roads. Parking on the street is not allowed. Ella Dunbar, 5189 Maracas Arch, Phone: 463-9861, spoke in OPPOSITION. Ms. Dunbar provided a copy of a Petition signed by residents opposed to this development which is hereby made a part of the record. The development does not add any improvements to the community. There is no diversity to the neighborhoods. The amount it will take to maintain the property will far exceed the fees.
