Provided to all employees, including part-time Below are options for the 2015 Health Care Plans: 201 5 Health Plan Options <• Lower Cost Plan Offerings • HSA incentive offering 3r" low coverage option • State health plan Limiting Coverage • Tier offerings • Equity HDHP only health plan offering • Utilize state exchanges for retiree coverage Cost Shifting • Contribution strategy • Plan design Quality and Accountability • Quality care network of providers • Health plan eligibility through VBWellnessforLife Outcomes -based incentives 16 August 27, 2013 -10 - CITY COUNCIL and SCHOOL BOARD JOINT BRIEFING HEALTHCARE ITEM #63047(Continued) 201 5 Health Plan Options__continued HSA Incentive - Offer a one-time employer contribution of $1,000 (in addition to the existing annual $500 prorated employer contribution) into the HSA plan to incentivize employees to move to the Equity HDHP. Considerations: Require a two year enrollment to avoid employee receiving the incentive and then moving out of the plan the following year. This one- time incentive may provide financial security to those that are fearful of the large out-of-pocket expense that would be incurred if they had a claim before having the opportunity to build up a balance in their HSA. 3r° Low Coverage Option - Offer a third low coverage option with resulting lower premiums. Plan would have lower premiums, higher out-of-pocket expenses, and would not cover certain services currently offered by our Point of Service and Equity HDHP plans, such as chiropractic, hearing aid, infertility, and gastric bypass. Considerations: Would provide lower premiums to those that want a low cost option. The State is conducting an analysis to possibly offer their current Health Care Plan to City and Schools throughout the Commonwealth: 201 5 Health Plan Options --continued State Health Plan -The Commonwealth of Virginia is gathering and analyzing data to determine the impact to the State plan if it were made available to all Virginia municipalities and school divisions. Considerations: Approval is required by the General Assembly. An analysis would need to be performed to determine if opting into this plan would provide the best option for our group. The completion date of the study and a projected effective date, if approved, have not been communicated. Limiting Spouses - Revise tier structure to limit spouses by only providing Employee Only, Employee + Child, and Family enrollment options. Considerations: This limited tier structure may drive spouses to other available plans. This option may be implemented in lieu ofa spousal surcharge, since a spousal surcharge would be reliant upon self reporting by the employee, certifying that the spouse did not have access to other group coverage. Spouses that do not have access to other group coverage may consider coverage under the state exchange if family coverage is cost prohibitive. August 27, 2013 -11 - CITY COUNCIL and SCHOOL BOARD JOINT BRIEFING HEALTHCARE ITEM #63047(Continued) Another option is to freeze the Point of Service Plan and offer only the High Deductible Plan for new employees. 2015 Health Plan Options__continued Equity HDHP Only Health Plan Offering - Freeze the POS plan with new hire enrollment only available in the Equity HDHP. Current employees would have the option of moving to the Equity HDHP, but oncethey have moved will not have the opportunity to return to the POS. Considerations: Impact to recruitment and retention. Utilize State Exchanges for Retiree Coverage - Require retirees to utilize the state exchanges rather than providing coverage through the employer group plan. Considerations: Coverage will be provided on the state exchanges with no pre-existing condition limitations. This option would eliminate the GASB liability. This option may slow the natural turnover rate expected in the workforce as employees work longer to retain health care coverage. An option of providing funding into a Health Reimbursement Arrangement might also be considered. 19 Below are some cost shifting ideas for consideration: 2015 Health Plan Options__continued Cost Increases Passed to Employee: Contribution Strategy - The City/Schools covers 80% of the total cost of health care. A contribution strategy could be developed to no longer cover 80%, but rather establish a specific amount that will be contributed with the excess costs passed along in premium increases. Considerations: This could result in very large premium increases due to the fact that the City and Schools currently absorb 80% of increases. Plan Design - A plan design strategy could be developed to increase the deductible with the resulting increases in costs rather than premium increases. Considerations: Health reform requires that a plan's share of the total allowed costs of benefits provided under the plan is at /east 60%, and therefore this would need to be monitored to maintain compliance. 20 August 27, 2013 -12 - CITY COUNCIL and SCHOOL BOARD JOINT BRIEFING HEALTHCARE ITEM #63047(Continued) 201 5 Health Pian Options__continued Quality Network - We are partnering with Optima Health in 2014 to provide additional care for members that utilize a provider in the Sentara Quality Care Network (SQCN). A future option may be to drive additional members to quality providers by offering lower copayments when seeking care from a SQCN provider. Considerations: The SQCN network is Optima Health's Clinically Integrated Network required under health reform, and is expected to deliver effective population -based medicine. This model requires a robust set of competencies targeted to stabilize and improve the health status of individuals within the population and innovative tools and capabilities that offer providers pertinent and timely information to ensure the right care is being provided by the right care giver in the right place at the right time and at the right cost." Additional options require all employees to participate in the Wellness for Life and move to an Outcome Based Health Care Plan Cost Sharing. 201 5 Health Plan Options__continued Health Plan Eligibility - Make participation in VBWellnessfortife a requirement for health plan eligibility. Considerations: Many employees believe that the opportunity to receive health care through their employer is a right and that their health status is private; however, the health of an employee has a financial impact on the employer through workplace productivity and costs of providing health care. The health status of an employee also impacts the premiums of everyone covered on the plan since the costs of claims and other expenses determines premiums. Making VBWel/nessforLife a requirement may bring awareness to the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Outcomes -Based Incentives - Require employee to reach a specified outcome in order to receive v6WellnessforLife incentive (e.g., tobacco -free, specific BMI). Considerations: This option would be more invasive, for example to include a tobacco screening rather than self -reporting, and it would require our plan, under federal law, to provide alternatives to meeting the outcomes, based upon establish disabilities or impairments. It would, however, provide greater accountability for lifestyle choices. Additional resources may be required in order to administer this option. 22 August 27, 2013 -13 - CITY COUNCIL and SCHOOL BOARD JOINT BRIEFING HEALTHCARE ITEM #63047(Continued) Below are other Health Care strategy considerations: Health Care Strategy Considerations Pharmacy formulary management On-site clinic Smoke-free campus Centers of excellence for high cost procedures Second opinion/decision support program Data warehousing to guide decision making Risk sharing arrangement Price and quality transparency tools Pay for value, not fee for service Education/ marketing 23 The Benefits Executive Committee will provide recommendations and options for the 2015 Health Care Plan in October. Next Steps �• September - Employee communication on exchanges (required by Oct 1) October - Joint meeting to discuss and prioritize 2015 plan design changes Mayor Sessoms thanked Ms. Curtis, Ms. Matkins and the entire Team for all of their hard work. August 27, 2013 -14 - VIRGINIA BEACH CITY COUNCIL Virginia Beach, Virginia August 27, 2013 Mayor William D. Sessoms, Jr., called to order the City Council's Informal Session, in the City Council Conference Room, Tuesday, August 27, 2013, at 4:30 P.M. Council Members Present: Robert M. Dyer, Barbara M. Henley, Vice Mayor Louis R. Jones, John D. Moss, Amelia N. Ross -Hammond, Mayor William D. Sessoms, Jr., John E. Uhrin, Rosemary Wilson and James L. Wood. Council Members Absent: Glenn R. Davis and William R. "Bill" DeSteph August 27, 2013 -15 - CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING SEVERE REPETIVE LOSS — FEMA Program ITEM #63048 4:30 P.M. Mayor Sessoms introduced and welcomed Mark Gemender, Operations Engineer — Public Works. Severe Repetitive Loss Review and Update Mr. Gemender advised the Briefing will provide a status of the City's efforts in Severe Repetitive Loss, including a review of what the program is about; provide a timeline of accomplishment; account for the time and effort of Staff. discuss some of the challenges; and, what lies ahead. Summary Outline • Severe Repetitive Loss Primer • Program Review • Relationship with VDEM and FEMA Region 3 City of Virginia Beach Approach • Successful Application Process • Timeline of accomplishments • FEMA interpretation of SRL Grant and Restrictions • Basis for re -solicitation of Bids on homeowners' behalf. • Recommendations going forward • Organization • Basis for Re -solicitation of Bids z August 27, 2013 -16 - CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING SEVERE REPETIVE LOSS — FEMA Program ITEM #63048(Continued) The FEMA Repetitive Loss Program has been around since 2004. The focus of the Program is to reduce the expenditure of Federal Funds devoted to the National Flood Insurance Fund through identiing properties that are repetitively flood damaged and can show a significant savings. The key take -away is the Benefit Cost Ratio and the Greatest Savings to the National Flood Insurance Fund needs to be positive and demonstrated to be positive in the application to FEMA FEMA Severe Repetitive Loss Program Review ▪ Authorized in 2004 Flood Insurance Reform Act Mitigate the effects of repetitive flooding on SRL Properties * Reduce the total number of SRL properties insured by NFIP • Save Federal tax dollars through demonstration of an acceptable Benefit -cost ratio and the greatest savings to the National Flood Insurance Fund The City's goal has been to put together a package, which would successfully compete for Severe Repetitive Loss Grant Funding by generating a viable list of properties and then contract under the Virginia Procurement Law for the elevation of privately owned properties. For a property to be eligible, the claimed damage needs to be both severe (at least $5, 000 per claim) and repetitive (at least 4 separate claims within a 10 year period). The Severe Repetitive Loss Program is voluntary on the part of the property owner and requires some acknowledgement of costs. FEMA Severe Repetitive` Loss Program Review • Virginia Beach Goal: successfully compete for FEMA grant funding with a list of properties which are feasible elevation projects and contract under Virginia Procurement regulations, for elevation of privately owned properties. (FEMA required) What is an SRL Property? • Property insured by the National Flood Insurance Program • Property which has had claim payments from the NFIP which are: • Severe: at least $5,000 per claim • Repetitive.- at least 4 separate claims within a ten year period totaling at least $20,000 • SRL Properties are identified by the National Flood Insurance Program and the lists are provided to Virginia Department of Emergency Management. • Properties are evaluated for the benefits of elevation above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) August 27, 2013 -17 - CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING SEVERE REPETIVE LOSS — FEMA Program ITEM #63048(Continued) What makes this program attractive, from the financial perspective is the Federal Cost Share of 90% versus the homeowner's share of 10%, which the City is responsible for 10% of the pre -and post -award grant administration cost of approximately $20, 000. FEMA Severe Repetitive Loss Program Review FEMA SRL Grant program provides: • Ninety percent federal cost share • Ten percent local share borne by homeowners • City responsible for ten percent of the pre and post award grant administration costs @ $20 K Severe Repetitive Loss is a Project Grant under the Flood Mitigation and Assistance Program ("FMA"). There are two broader Federal Programs: The Flood Mitigation Assistance Program, which is geared towards preparation and cost avoidance for planning projects like SRL and Management Grants to the State; and, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program ("HMGP') which typically follows a Disaster Declaration, providing approximately 75% Federal Cost Share to municipalities. Federal Grant Programs Pre -Disaster • Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) • Planning Grants to prepare Flood Mitigation Plans • Project Grants to implement measures to reduce flood losses, such as elevation, acquisition, or relocation of NFIP-insured structures • Management Cost Grants for the State to help administer the FMA program and activities Post -Disaster ▪ Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) • Provides grants to states and local governments to implement long-term hazard mitigation measures after a major disaster declaration • FEMA funds 75% • 25% Non -Federal Cost Share August 27, 2013 -18 - CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING SEVERE REPETIVE LOSS — FEMA Program ITEM #63048(Continued) The City must comply with rules in working under FEMA as outlined below: FEMA Region 3 Rules FEMA 3 Administration Criteria has proven unique and challenging in the Administration of the Grant FEMA 3 required that design be complete, reviewed and approved by both VDEM and FEMA Region 3 with all scoping issues (very detailed) resolved, prior to advertising. • This is a new requirement unique to Region 3 which occurred just prior to approval of Virginia Beach application Generally: Costs attributable to house elevation, at building code minimums, are eligible.

This effort required a thorough knowledge of the Program and experience in projecting project feasibility along the way so resources are not expended which will not lead to a successful application and project. Our Approach, Grant Approval • January 2010 Beck Disaster Recovery(SAIC) was retained • Evaluate VDEM listed SRL properties. • Evaluate other properties for which owners came forward requesting consideration. • Develop application package for submission to FEMA. • Administer Grant when awarded. • City included source data from: • VDEM validated SRL properties listing • Properties for which letters of Substantial Damage had been issued by the City • City collected additional data from: • Online survey that allowed homeowners to provide contact information, address and insurance claim history.

Wood Council Members Absent: Glenn R. Davis and William R. "Bill" DeSteph, INVOCATION: Reverend Rick Crews Pastor — Green Run Baptist Church PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Mayor Sessoms DISCLOSED as an officer of TowneBank (which has a corporate office located at 297 Constitution Drive in Virginia Beach), he is directly and indirectly involved in many of TowneBank's transactions. However, due to the size of TowneBank and the volume of transactions it handles, TowneBank has an interest in numerous matters in which he is not personally involved and of which he does not have personal knowledge. In that regard, he is always concerned about the appearance of impropriety that might arise if he unknowingly participates in a matter before City Council in which TowneBank has an interest. Mayor Sessoms also has similar concerns with respect to Prudential Towne Realty, which is an affiliate of TowneBank. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act (the "Act"), it is his practice to thoroughly review each City Council agenda to identify any matters in which he might have an actual or potential conflict. If during his review of an agenda, he identifies a matter in which he has a `personal interest ", as defined by the Act, he will either abstain from voting, or file the appropriate disclosure letter with the City Clerk to be included in the official records of City Council. Mayor Sessoms' letter of March 24, 2009, is hereby made a part of the record. Vice Mayor Jones DISCLOSED, for many years, he served on the Board of Directors of Resource Bank. Three (3) years ago, Fulton Financial Corporation ("Fulton Financial') purchased Resource Bank. On March 31, 2007, Vice Mayor Jones retired from the Board of Directors. Although, he is no longer a August 27, 2013 -37 - Board Member, he owns stock in Fulton Financial and that stock ownership causes him to have a "personal interest" in Fulton Financial. However, due to the size of Fulton Financial and the volume of transactions it handles in any given year, Fulton Financial, or any of the banks that are owned by Fulton Financial, may have an interest in numerous matters in which Vice Mayor Jones has no personal knowledge. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act, it is his practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting of City Council for the purpose of identifying any matters in which he might have an actual or potential conflict. If, during his review, he identifies any matters, Vice Mayor Jones will prepare and file the appropriate disclosure letter to be recorded in the official records of City Council. Vice Mayor Jones regularly makes this disclosure. Vice Mayor Jones' letter of April 10, 2007, is hereby made a part of the record. Council Lady Rosemary Wilson DISCLOSED she is a Real Estate Agent affiliated with Prudential Towne Realty ("Prudential"). Because of the nature of Real Estate Agent affiliation, the size of Prudential, and the volume of transactions it handles in any given year, Prudential has an interest in numerous matters in which she is not personally involved and of which she does not have personal knowledge. In order to ensure her compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act, it is her practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting of City Council for the purpose of identifying any matters in which she might have an actual or potential conflict. If, during her review she identifies any matters, she will prepare and file the appropriate disclosure letter to be recorded in the official records of City Council. Council Lady Wilson regularly makes this disclosure. Council Lady Wilson 's letter of August 13, 2013, is hereby made a part of the record.

The lots would be smaller than the existing neighboring lots. The Plan does have a great deal of open space and does not meet the City's requirement.

Ms. Garris advised Fountain Drive is an 18' Dead End Street and the neighbors were not aware of this project until the rezoning notice was posted. This project will require removal of numerous very old trees. This is a close knit community and they care about our neighborhood. Jean Costner, 405 Fountain Drive, Phone: 613-3746 spoke in OPPOSITION. This property is currently green space and neighbors request it remain the same. Rick Garris, 423 Fountain Drive, Phone: 748-6168, spoke in OPPOSITION. Mr. Garris advised he is a lifelong resident of Virginia Beach and acknowledges that progress is important; however, he never thought this would happen in his neighborhood. This project is a detriment to the neighboring homes and will lower their value. Lin Old, 419 Fountain Drive, spoke in OPPOSITION. Mr. Old advised he lives by the "Washington Post Rule" and asked City Council Members to do the same. Mr. Old is fearful that the neighborhood children will no longer have a safe place to play and ride their bicycles. Andrea Old, 419 Fountain Drive, spoke in OPPOSITION.
