ITEM #62730 Mayor Sessoms introduced and welcomed Thomas Leahy, Director — Public Utilities. Mr. Leahy advised the Department 's Mission is to provide the best and most reliable, highest quality water supply and waste water collection services at the lowest practical sustainable costs. Department of Public Utilities Budget Workshop: April 23, 2013 Thomas Leahy, Director Mr. Leahy provided the Department's Organizational Chart shown below. The Department has 411 positions and requests one additional position (FTE) for a Fat, Oils and Grease ("FOG') Inspector. That particular position was being provided by an outsourcing contract but the Department is not able to maintain the liability/dependability of the contractor or the required certifications. By bringing this position in-house, the City will save money. Public Utilities April23, 2013 -3- FY2013-14 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN (Budget) QUALITY PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT PUBLIC UTILITIES and CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM ITEM #62730(Continued) Currently there are fifteen (15) vacant positions in the Department. All except one (1), is in the process of being filled. Two of the vacancies have been open for a long time; (1) an Engineer position has been held open on purpose because the Department was filling those responsibilities with a retired DEQ employee under contract and (2) the other vacancy is being held open pending a reorganization and reclassification. The position cannot be filled while being reclassified. POVTION VACANCY REPORT al Wetimby AP.

Mr. Leahy advised the Department's Operating Budget consists of only the units that have people, supplies, vehicles, consumables and any other things that are required to carry out a day-to-day mission, totaling $49 -MILLION and accounts for 42% of Budget. The most substantial increases are in the Engineering unit due to the new position, increase in health care costs, upgrade to the GIS and Mapping System. Four (4) of the vehicles are due for replacement and have moved from contract work from CIP, which should not have been in the CIP, into the operating unit.

All revenue comes from service charges the Department derives. 96% of the Department's Revenue comes from the bi-monthly water bills. Interest and connection fees account for 2.5% of the Department's Revenue. That number used to be 2-3 times higher but with the decrease in interest rates and the low number of new connections, the service charges are the dominant revenue source. The lower pie chart identifies where the funds are expended: Public Utilities FY 2013-14 Operating Budget $1,017,733 $678,440 $3,016,959 0.6% 2.5% Budget by Revenue Type ■ Service Charges „= Int. & Conn.

Reduced water demands account for one-half of the Department's Revenue and are due to conservation, more efficient water using devices, shift in ground water for outdoor uses and some demographic shifts. Fiscal 2013 water demand is on track to match the water demand of twenty (20) years ago, even though in the 20 years, the system has expanded in terms of pipes, pump stations and valves by 20%. The Operations Division is facing reduced productivity of aging workforce. Back in 1970/1980's a large number of "Baby Boomers " joined the City and there is an increased injury leave, sick leave, disability pay and light duty restrictions. 28% of the Department's deep excavations are occurring after normal working hours. The Capital Improvement Program (CIP), at the current funding levels, is not sustainable even though it is the Department's major budget driver along with the CONSENT ORDER that is an unfunded mandate for $350 -MILLION. Public Utilities Significant Issues • Negative revenue growth due to reduced water demand and very few new customers • Aging workforce combined with workforce protection obligations are decreasing productivity • Traffic is forcing many repairs to short days, nights, or weekends — decreased productivity, increased overtime • Aging infrastructure: A truly sustainable CIP would be 50% more than the current CIP • Regional Sanitary Sewer Consent Order — $350 million unfunded mandate — Typical rehabilitation project: $4,000 to $5,000 per lot Below are the Department's Trends and Highlights. Hurricane Sandy was a 10 -to -25 year storm Citywide and there was not one sanitary sewer overflow which is a big accomplishment considering one of the major mandates in the Consent Order is to contain all of the infiltration and inflow during a 10 - year storm. Also, at the end of this month, the Department will begin using a state-of-the-art electronic billing and payment system. This will provide customers the ability to have their bank accounts automatically debited without having to handle a bill. Public Utilities FY 2013-14 Trends & Highlights • Maintained the lowest water charge and one of the lowest sanitary sewer charges in the region • Hurricane Sandy (10-25 year storm): No SSO's • Record low year for SSO's in 2012. Only ten (0.7 SSO's per 100 miles of sewer lines). The national average is 4.5, VA Beach is consistently less than two • FOG Program: In 2012, the number of FSE's in compliance increased from 2% to 20% • State-of-the-art Electronic Billing and Payment System • Collected 99.5% of revenue (current write off includes the year after conversion to a new billing platform) April 23, 2013 -7- FY2013-14 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN (Budget) QUALITY PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT PUBLIC UTILITIES and CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM ITEM #62730(Continued) Below is the chart for monthly charges for water and sanitary sewer charges in Hampton Roads at 6,000 and 5,000 gallons per month of consumption for a typical single family: FY 2013 Monthly Charge for Water & Sanitary Sewer in Hampton Roads bl(g,umo Based on the rate increase previously approved by City Council, the Department's Budget is balanced based on 6,000 gallons per month of consumption for a typical single family. This is a $2.90 per month increase, representing approximately 5% on the combined water and sanitary sewer charges. This is the 3rd of 4 consecutive rate increases enacted by City Council in 2011 as part of the response to the Regional Sanitary Sewer CONSENT ORDER. Approved Monthly Water & Sewer Billing for SFR @ 6,000 Gallons Fiscal Year 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Water $28.70 $30.87 $30.87 $30.87 $30.87 $30.87 Wastewater $19.53 $19.53 $22.12 $24.86 $27.76 $30.81 Total Water + Wastewater $48.23 $50.40 $52.99 $55.73 $58.63 (+5.2%) $61.68 (+5.2%) April 23, 2013 -8- FY2013-14 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN (Budget) QUALITY PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT PUBLIC UTILITIES and CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM ITEM #62730(Continued) The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is $40 -MILLION, approximately 75% of that is for the sanitary sewer system. The entire 6 -year CIP is $280 -MILLION; however, several of those years are "astricked (*) " where the amount increases from $40 -MILLION to $50 -MILLION due to the pending mandated Rehabilitation Plan and Consent Order. Just last week, the Justice Department lodged an Order with the courts, which after 30 days becomes final. The Consent Order for HRSD will change with "trickle down" provisions that change for localities and at least one year of the increase will be pushed out to FY17. Depending on what the Consolidation Study results are and what actions the jurisdictions take because of that, the increases could be pushed out even farther.• Water and Sewer CIP: FY 2014 -FY 2019 Water FY14 $ 9,025,000 $ 30,975,000 $ 40,000,000 FY15 $ 7,406,000 $ 32,594,000 $ 40,000,000 FY16* $ 5,870,000 $ 44,130,000 $ 50,000,000 FY17* $ 4,550,000 $ 45,450,000 $ 50,000,000 FY18* $ 7,427,000 $ 42,573,000 $ 50,000,000 FY19* $ 5,725,000 $ 44,275,000 $ 50,000,000 FY14-19 $ 40,003,000 $ 239,997,000 $ 280,000,000 *$40M to $50M increase may be delayed pending modifications to the Consent Order Below are the major CIP Budget Drivers. Should Public Works begin working on a major highway or stormwater project, Public Utilities will evaluate all of the facilities and even if they are not necessarily at the end of their useful life, the Department feels it might interrupt the project early on, the Department will replace the facility. For example, when Public Works is working in neighborhoods or any roadways, Public Utilities will replace all cast iron pipe with modern pipe so there will not be problems in the future. Most water line failures are with cast iron pipe.

This does not include the sewer pump stations that must be rehabilitated and replaced at 8 -to -10 per year at approximately $1 -MILLION per station.

The data is normalized and has been presented on an Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) basis to be able to compare the City to other Hampton Roads cities. The City has the best system in the Region. That in no way implies the City does not have a lot of work to be done as the City is 30% of the Region. The size amount of infiltration or inflow the City has to eliminate is the size the amount of Chesapeake or Newport News has to eliminate.

The City is in better shape than the other cities in the Region. Conclusions • Regional Consent Order is the major driver for the Public Utilities CIP • In turn, the associated increase in debt service is the major driver for the operating budget • Conservation, low/no growth, and aging infrastructure are exacerbating factors • However, in terms of the consent order "gap", debt/debt service per ERU, and monthly water and sanitary sewer charges, VA Beach is well positioned for the future Mayor Sessoms thanked Mr. Leahy for his hard work and that of his Staff.

The Department would like to convert the film projection system, which has been used since 1996 and convert to digital. This will provide better film selection and reduce the Department's FTE count by 2. This does not have to be a CIP. The Department can cover these costs in the Budget with Revenues. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums have recommended the Department add one FTE to Animal Life Support and Building Maintenance. Ms. Clements would also like to take 1 PTE and convert to FTE in the horticultural area, to support new projects, recruit and supervise volunteers which add capacity for additional exhibits. The Aquarium will have live butterflies this Summer to go along with the new I -Max 3D Film about migration of butterflies. The Aquarium is also building a new Coastal Conservation Garden. The Historic collections, consisting of the Hofheimer Collection and over 200 artifacts, are being conserved. Also, revenues for the Aquarium have exceeded the projections for the past two years by 12% each year. In conjunction with the Foundation, the Aquarium is adding an Aerial Adventure Course (ropes course) on the 38 acres behind the Marsh Pavilion. This will create an `Adventure Corridor" all the way to 15`'' Street and the Campgrounds, with zip lines over Owls Creek. On June 15, 2014, Ms. Clements invited the Mayor to be the first one on the Ropes Course.

Our role within the system is still being defined. • Even though the beginning stages of the ACA were implemented in 2010, executive branch agencies like the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have yet to create many of the guidelines and processes needed to implement portions of the Act. April23, 2013 -49- FY2013-14 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN (Budget) FAMILY and YOUTH OPPORTUNITIES PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT ITEM #62 736(Continued) The Individual Mandate Tax becomes effective in January 2014. Again, the Department has received very little information from the Federal Government. Public Health Department FY 2013-14 Trends & Highlights More Extensive Changes to Healthcare as We Know It January 2014 • Individual Mandate Tax becomes effective; Americans who do not obtain health insurance will be subject to a maximum penalty of $285 per year. This increases in 2015 to $975 per year and in 2016 to $2085. • Adults age 18 and over can no longer be denied insurance coverage for a pre-existing condition. Public Health Department FY 2013-14 Trends & Highlights • Insurance plans must cover what have been deemed as essential preventative tests. • Maximum tax credit of 50% is available to small businesses with 25 or fewer employees. This will expire as of the end of 2015. • Medicaid expanded across the United States to an income level of 133% of the federal poverty line in all states that have agreed to this part of the Act. The Supreme Court ruled that the federal government cannot force states to expand Medicaid coverage. However there will be financial incentives for those that do. April 23, 2013 -50- FY2013-14 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN (Budget) FAMILY and YOUTH OPPORTUNITIES PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT ITEM #62736(Continued) Public Health Department FY 2013-14 Trends & Highlights • Medicare will be required to create Accountable Care Organizations (ACOS) which are groups of health care professionals that deliver team based care to patients for one flat fee as opposed to fee for service. Medical providers that deliver care below agreed upon fees will be eligible for financial bonuses. • Health exchanges selling insurance to individuals and small businesses will begin to operate in each state. Public Health Department FY 2013-14 Trends & Highlights How will the Affordable Care Act Affect Public Health? In many ways this is still a great unknown to LHDs. No direct guidance has been given to LHDs from the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) as of yet. However the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) and the American Public Health Association (APHA) have provided some insight into possible roles for Public Health within this new system. April23, 2013 1 -51- FY2013-14 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN (Budget) FAMILY and YOUTH OPPORTUNITIES PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT ITEM #62736(Continued) Public Health Department FY 2013-14 Trends & Highlights If the need for clinical services provided by LHDs is decreased other roles could be: • Community Based Health Promotion Education. • Facilitating enrollment in Medicaid and health insurance exchanges. • Greater role in case management of complex clinical patients. • Assist hospitals with required community health needs assessments. Public Health Department FY 2013-14 Trends & Highlights • LHDs may partner with ACOs to provide health needs evaluations and with identifying public health related clinical guidelines. • Clinical services will still be provided to undocumented individuals who do not qualify for any government regulated insurance programs. April23, 2013 -52- FY2013-14 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN (Budget) FAMILY and YOUTH OPPORTUNITIES PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT ITEM #62736(Continued) Public Health Department FY 2013-14 Trends & Highlights Funding Opportunities for Health Promotion and Prevention Activities • The ACA established the Prevention and Public Health Fund to support public health education and awareness. • Over the course of the past 13 years grant funding for these activities disappeared. With the establishment of this Prevention Fund grant opportunities are once again being made available.

This shortage is expected to worsen through 2025. • Significant provider shortages in the future, could mean that Public Health will need to expand our clinical services in order to address the unmet need. Conclusions On behalf of the Management Team and Staff of the Virginia Beach Department Of Public Health I want to thank you for your continued support of our programs. Without City funding our Laboratory, Dental, Maternity and Healthy Families Programs would not be possible. The generosity of the City of Virginia Beach continues to have a positive impact on the health of its residents. There are some unknowns for the future of Public Health. One thing remains constant, we will continue to be a part of helping the City to reach the goals that were set in Envision Virginia Beach 2040 and do our best to contribute to making Virginia Beach a Community for a Lifetime.

Main Street #218, Phone: 804-643-4433, Executive Director for the Virginia Marine Trades Association, a Non -Profit Organizational that represents the recreational industry in the Commonwealth. Mr. Robison requested that City Council not raise the boat tax as boats will leave not on the City but the State, which means lost revenue and eventually loss of jobs. A recent study by Virginia Institute of Marine Science shows that recreational boating is in excess of $1 -BILLION industry and attributes to approximately 9 -MILLION jobs in Virginia. Please reconsider the boat tax as it will be a net loss for the City and State. Brad Waitzer, 1069 S. Bayshore, Phone: 286-2192, expressed his opposition to the proposed boat tax. Mr. Waitzer stated the boats will be moved and the City will lose money. Phil Kellam, Commissioner of the Revenue, provided the perspective from the "tax assessor" on the boat tax. 12 years ago, City Council reduced the boat tax rate on watercraft to essentially a zero bill. Although the City does not generate a bill for taxes on boats, Mr. Kellam is required to discover the property and assess the property and he has continued to do that for the past twelve years. When City Council essentially eliminated the boat tax, it was done for mainly two reasons: 1) requires extraordinary April23, 2013 -103- Item—V-Lla/b/c, 2-7 PUBLIC HEARINGS ITEM #62747(Continued) enforcement to realize the revenue from the tax; and 2) the City realized it put itself in a competitive disadvantage with other Hampton Roads localities as well as other boating localities. The fleet is up 80% and the fleet value is up 219% in the last 12 years. Waverly Woods , 2453 Haversham Close, Waverly Woods, 2453 Haversham Close, Phone: 749-8266, represented the Virginia Beach Chapter of the Hampton Roads Tea Party. Ms. Woods is not requesting reduction in fees but simply for City Council to live within the tay payers means. If City Council would be responsible with the Citizens tax dollars, the City would have the money for all of the necessities. Puneet Dhees, 2256 Realtide Road, Phone: 476-4620, spoke in opposition to the cigarette tax. Mr. Dhees advised that 23% of his business is cigarette sales and if the cigarette tax continues to go up, the people will purchase these in surrounding cities.

April23, 2013 -105 - Item —V -J.1 PUBLIC COMMENT ITEM #62749 Mayor Sessoms DECLARED A PUBLIC COMMENT UNSOLICITED PROPOSAL re LIGHT RAIL — extension to Rosemont Road The following registered to speak: Michael Aschkenas, 2805West Point Court, Phone: 463-6941 is a strong supporter of Light Rail Now and encourages City Council to accept the unsolicited proposal. Mr. Aschkenas requested the City consider other proposals than HRT and the City will have adequate time to review the proposals. By accepting the unsolicited proposal, the City is required to seek additional bids. Other companies may be interested in this type of project. It will cost the City nothing to accept the unsolicited proposal and he would consider this a "win/win" situation. Diana Howard, 1057 Debaca Court, Phone: 721-5128, reminded City Council that the Mayor stated Light Rail would not happen iffederal money was not available. Ms. Howard expressed her concern over the $6 -MILLION Study being conducted. Ms. Howard is concerned the burden to pay for Light Rail will fall on the Citizens although only 1% of the citizens will be using Light Rail. Ms. Howard suggested using the money to give Teachers and Public Safety officials the raise they deserve. Millie Jones, 1035 S. Bayshore Drive, Phone: 491-8656, asked why the City was pursuing Light Rail as this will not help with traffic. Only a small percentage of Citizens will ride. Also, the population is shrinking, a Carrier Group will be leaving the Hampton Roads Area and HRT is in a 'financial mess ". Steve Jones, 1035 S. Bayshore Drive, Phone: 491-8656, stated HRT cannot run the Bus Routes smoothly at the Oceanfront and questioned how HRT is expected to operate Light Rail any better. Mr. Jones expressed concern over the estimated costs as Light Rail will have to be elevated from Rosemont Road to the Oceanfront or it will disrupt the flow of traffic. Mr. Jones stated the costs overrun will be monumental and he cannot understand why this has to be rushed through. Waverly Woods, 2453 Haversham Close, Phone: 749-8266, represented the Virginia Beach Chapter of the Hampton Roads Tea Party. Ms. Woods suggested rather than accepting this unsolicited proposal, request proposals to be received no less than 180 days that identify how small businesses will be affected. Ms. Woods feels that HRT lacks competence and she would like other companies be given the opportunity to provide proposals. There being no other speakers, Mayor Sessoms CLOSED THE PUBLIC COMMENT.
