Councilman Davenport questioned what was so confusing about the most recent Referendum regarding Light Rail. Councilman Dyer feels that Referendum Question would not pass "muster" in an academic setting as one person's idea of what is "reasonable" most likely would not be the same as someone else's. Also, he searched the Internet yesterday and the second "hit"was the "Vote Yes"initiative and posed the same question as Councilman Davenport. Mayor Sessoms suggested since they are running short on time, this subject will be scheduled for upcoming City Council discussions. October 6, 2015 griP City of Vires;irzia 1 beach f U G� . OF OUR NA,•() BOB DYER PHONE: (757)467-3130 COUNCILMAN-DISTRICT 1-CENTERVILLE CELL: (757)749-4659 BDYER@VBGOV.COM October 6, 2015 The Honorable William D.Sessoms,Jr. Members of City Council SUBJECT: Proposal for Referendum on Light Rail for November 2016 Despite the hype and hyperbole over bringing light rail to Virginia Beach;this is far from being a done deal. Given the magnitude and complexities involved,our public deserves a stronger voice in the decision process. I feel that we,as elected representatives, have an obligation to conduct a meaningful referendum on the matter during the November 2016 elections with the simple question: SHOULD LIGHT RAIL COME TO VIRGINA BEACH? YES or NO The previous referendum question created more confusion and ambiguity among the public,failing to give the city council solid direction. Proponents of light rail clearly marketed the referendum as a "study," not an endorsement for or against light rail. Since the previous referendum more information about the project has come forward casting doubts on some of the assumptions that light rail will undoubtedly benefit our community and our financial interests. There are now indications that light rail will not alleviate traffic congestion (in fact, it may add to congestion)and not be a stimulant to economic growth to a meaningful degree as advertised. Hence, light rail is a solution to problems yet to be defined.To date, proponents have yet to make the case that Light Rail is practical,feasible or affordable for Virginia Beach residents. Our actions to this point for implementing light rail have been premature, given that here is no overall plan or vision for establishing a comprehensive solution for Hampton Roads regional public transportation that I am aware of. We are proceeding in a very piecemeal approach with absolutely no regard for how the dated and obsolete light rail technology will merge with the innovative transportation technologies on the horizon in the near future. Fixed track transportation methods may soon be the vehicle of the past. 1668 LAKE CHRISTOPHER DRIVE,VIRGINIA BEACH,VA 23464 Before we make the final decision on light rail,a comprehensive regional plan should be in place to better determine our course of action.The number one impediment to growth and economic development for Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads continues to be the congestion at the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel.We also desperately need a destination airport and a solid plan to bring high speed rail to our region from Northern Virginia. Proactive actions on these concerns are essential to a successful transportation system in Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads. It is also essential that we present a business plan to our public addressing how we plan to incorporate the costs of running and maintaining light rail and supplemental bus systems into our budget in ways that are prudent and fiscally sustainable over the long haul. Granted,the final cost assessments have yet to be determined, but be assured that the final costs will be significant and require significant subsidies from the public. Does the public realize that it is most likely that taxes will have to be raised to meet these costs? Will Virginia Beach business owners recover enough receipts from visitors from Norfolk and elsewhere to justify these costs? As we confront the realities of budget shortfalls for the foreseeable future the question becomes,can we accommodate light rail in our budget given our substantial needs and obligations?We are confronted by billions of dollars in need mandated by unfunded pension liabilities, EPA requirements, rising healthcare costs,schools modernization and replacement costs,aging city infrastructure, public safety as well as health and human service needs. We also face declines in state funding and continued downsizing of the military.As a city, our expenditures far outpace our revenues and the Hampton Roads Region remains economically anemic. Our public cannot afford another tax increase,yet we have the obligation to continue to provide essential city services. We must also adequately compensate public safety personnel,teachers, and retain our excellent city workforce. Allowing another referendum on the light rail question would go a long way in building the bridge of communication and mutual respect between the city council and our citizens.Given the long history of missteps and cost overruns, along with our recent debacle over the purchase of four rail cars from Minnesota,the public grows increasingly skeptical as to whether Light Rail would be of any tangible benefit to Virginia Beach. A referendum would facilitate a new, more vibrant level of civic engagement,giving advocates and adversaries a forum to state their ideas, recommendations and solutions. It would also give our city the impetus to formulate a "Blueprint for Success"that would demonstrate to the public our decisions are being made with reason and logic, based on a solid business model, not politics. Right now there are too many unanswered questions and barriers to success that must be addressed before we move forward.The public rightfully feels that decision has been made already based on our actions with including light rail in our recent budget and the four cars purchase before a final vote on the project. Given that Virginia Beach is not designed on a grid system,which favors use of public transportation, will people use utilize it, adding longer times to their daily commute? Light rail technology does not have the capacity of performing in north/south routes. Will light rail be flexible and adaptable to other, more modern modes of transportation in order to have an effective and efficient system? How will we deal with the increase costs of local government incurred by high density Transit Oriented Development, should it occur?Would an elevated system be more practical?Can the Independence Exchange accommodate to projected increased traffic? I i The list continues. Given that there will be no tangible return on our investment, perhaps for decades, are we equipped to make this investment requiring significant subsidies? Has any decision been made over governance in running the system?Will taking the line to Towne Center be enough or are there broader plans for expansion?And finally, is there any contingency planning being put in place should light rail not live up to expectations? To those who might say a referendum is an abdication of our roles as elected leaders I say nothing could be farther from the truth.Given that the public will be paying for the results of our decision in perpetuity, it is essential that we provide avenues of civic engagement to assist us in the decision process. I respectfully recommend that we move forward with promoting a referendum on light rail for the November 2016 elections and take positive actions to provide forums and other venues to facilitate communication and understanding on this most important decision. Good government should never fear an engaged and educated public;we should in fact embrace the opportunity!

Wood Council Members Absent: Rosemary Wilson attending VML Conference INVOCATION: Vice Mayor Louis R. Jones PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Mayor Sessoms DISCLOSED he is retired from Towne Bank (which has a corporate office located at 297 Constitution Drive in Virginia Beach), and no longer has any involvement in Towne Bank's transactions. However, due to the size of TowneBank and the volume of transactions it handles, Towne Bank 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 Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Town Realty, which is an affiliate of Towne Bank. 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 January 13, 2015, is hereby made a part of the record. October 6, 2015 -35- Vice Mayor Jones DISCLOSED,for many years, he served on the Board of Directors of Resource Bank. Three (3)years ago, Fulton Financial Corporation ("Fulton Financial')purchased Resource Bank. On March 31, 2007, Vice Mayor Jones retired from the Board of Directors. Although, he is no longer a Board Member, he owns stock in Fulton Financial and that stock ownership causes him to have a "personal interest" in Fulton Financial. However, due to the size of Fulton Financial and the volume of transactions it handles in any given year, Fulton Financial, or any of the banks that are owned by Fulton Financial, may have an interest in numerous matters in which Vice Mayor Jones has no personal knowledge. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act, it is his practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting of City Council for the purpose of identifying any matters in which he might have an actual or potential conflict. If, during his review, he identifies any matters, Vice Mayor Jones will prepare and file the appropriate disclosure letter to be recorded in the official records of City Council. Vice Mayor Jones regularly makes this disclosure. Vice Mayor Jones' letter of April 10, 2007, is hereby made a part of the record.

The following individuals registered to speak: Guy Tower, 3810 Atlantic Avenue, #1204, Phone: 422-2955, spoke in SUPPORT. He is a Member of the Legal Board of Advisors but is also supportive as a Citizen and expressed his excitement for this project. He was in Washington, D.C.for the opening of the Smithsonian National African American History and Cultural Museum and is hopeful this project will be equally thrilling for the City. African Americans have played a significant role from the beginning in shaping the history of this Country, State and the City although it sometimes is ignored and sometimes actively suppressed. This is a wonderful opportunity to educate the Citizens about the history and culture of African American Citizens and a great place for all people to gather. Jim Banks, 5442 Hunt Club Drive, Phone: 490-0251, spoke in SUPPORT. The history of Virginia Beach began with Princess Anne County and, unfortunately, a lot of that history was not preserved or is fast fading away as Citizens age. The Citizens that lived in the "Target Areas" like Mrs. Alice Green, Mr. Isaac Herbert and Mr. Clifton McCoy had wonderful stories to tell. The importance of oral history is immeasurable and this will provide a place to preserve these types of historical records. Bruce Williams, 1068 Meadow Green Trail, Phone: 570-4463, spoke in SUPPORT. Today, he saw on CNN a young person in Texas discovered an error in a textbook published by McGraw-Hill, in how African Americans arrived in this Country. With the power of social media McGraw-Hill was contacted and they have since corrected the text book. The point being, even today's history must be protected. The last few years, the City has hosted a "Cultural Program" at the Oceanfront and attracted families to see for themselves the great amenities the City has to offer. This African American Cultural Center will only add one more amenity to attract visitors. The location is in a Strategic Growth Area and is in the middle of two major travel areas including interstates. It will be the type of place that will attract not only African American visitors but anyone interested in history. Andrew Jackson, 153 Upperville Road, Phone: 490-9190, spoke in SUPPORT. He is looking forward to the construction of this Cultural Center. He expressed a concern regarding the proposed location. The City's goal is to attract visitors with new attractions but they must be sustainable and, in order for that to happen, it must be located in an area not too difficult to reach. "Location, location, location" is key in with any new business. All of the other attractions are located where people can get to them easily. All of the attractions are located closer to the Oceanfront. He requested City Council take a look at locations and see if this one should be paramount and ensure the Center's sustainability.

II -50- Item-VI-J.3b ORDINANCES/RESOLUTIONS ITEM#65264 The following individuals registered to speak: George Minns, 236 Shipps Lane, Phone: 575-8109, spoke in OPPOSITION of the City purchasing this property for two "main legal"points. First, it has been stated improvements on North Birdneck Road will be needed for the Arena, including a turn-lane at 19th Street. This matter is currently in litigation in the Virginia Beach Circuit Court and was recently continued by Judge Obrien to November 12th. He does not feel it is appropriate for the City to move forward with the purchase of this property or any other property connected to the Area until the Court has finalized the matter. Second, the Disclosure Statement in the Agenda Package purports to say it is the signature of"Marie Hickman". However, right beside the signature is the word "by", as if someone else has signed her name. In fact, it appears an organization signed her name. Although the signature may be valid there is nothing included in the Agenda Package that gives authorization for this organization to sign Mrs. Hickman's name. Also, it is his understanding that Mrs.Marie Hickman is alive. He questioned why the City is using "The Estate of" since she is not deceased. Also, on or about June 29`x', the City Manager sent a letter to Mt. Olive Church, specifically to Pastor Knight, advising the City would not do anything with the land or the church. At the Town Hall Meeting, City Staff assured nothing would be done with the property around the Church without the Church being notified, allowing the Church to have a voice and participate in the process. Lastly, it is believed the property was `promised" to the Church in order for the Church to expand their off-street parking. Overall, the Civic Administration's concern is the treatment of Mt. Olive Church as it relates to things around the Church after the City assured "nothing will be done around the Church without notification". Mr. Minns requested City Council DEFER this matter until the Court has made a final decision and allow the City to discuss this matter with the Church, as promised. Reverend Jason N. Knight, Senior Pastor — Mt. Olive Church, spoke in OPPOSITION. He expressed concern regarding this matter relating directly to the Arena project which was continued and is currently scheduled to be heard in November before the Circuit Court.

Betty Kennedy, 2700 Cattayle Run, Phone: 340-8975, advised she purchased the land and built her home in 1966 and has lived there since. She worked up until three (3)years ago and will be 86 in December. She has always been active in the Community and has attended numerous City Council meetings over the years and spoke on a variety of topics about which she felt passionate. For the first time, she is asking for help from the City regarding the Real Estate Tax Relief Assistance Program; specifically, the City in considering the "Reverse Mortgage" as income. The Reverse Mortgage is the only reason she has been able to afford to stay in her home because she has not had to pay property taxes. She simply cannot afford to pay the property taxes. This year,for the first time, she was denied the Tax Relief offered to Senior Citizens. A Reverse Mortgage is a debt, not an asset and should be considered as such. Mrs. Kennedy met with Phil Kellam, Commissioner of the Revenue, who informed her that City Council voted to consider a Reverse Mortgage as income. She would like that to be reconsidered. John Larry Peacock, Sr., 3536 Kings Lake Drive, Phone: 486-3706, spoke regarding the Kings Grant Lowered Water Level. Mr. Peacock distributed a copy of his statement, which is hereby attached and made a part of this record. He also provided the City Clerk with original Petitions that are hereby made a part of this record and filed in the City Clerk's Office. Of the 191 signatures, 82 of those are Kings Grant homeowners and/or residents. Walter Aul, 425 Canterbury Road, Phone: 496-4840, advised he lives on Kings Grant Lake I, a smaller lake in the same area. He requested a review of how Public Works handles the maintenance of the debris that gets in the ditches and lakes. Each time he has contacted Public Works he is told there is no money in the Budget to address the issue; however, the City made an agreement with DEQ when the storm drains were allowed to drain into the lakes and he feels the City is not adhering to the requirements of the Agreement. He frequently picks up the garbage in and around the lake. The Public Dialogue re Non Agenda Items concluded at 7:03 P.M. October 6, 2015 STATEMENT GIVEN BEFORE THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH CITY COUNCIL ON OCTOBER 6, 2015 CONCERNING KINGS LAKE LOWERED WATER LEVEL Introductory Comments: Good evening, Honorable Mayor and members of City Council. I am John Larry Peacock, Sr. and I represent concerned citizens from Kings Grant relative to the lowered water level in Kings Lake. I would like to recognize those of our group who are here with me tonight if they will please stand. I have lived on Kings Lake which is nestled in the greater Kings Grant neighborhood for going on 45 years. Kings Lake, while privately owned, is also used by the City of Virginia Beach as a storm water retention facility. During all those years, my family, including my small grandchildren has had the great pleasure of enjoying the Lake's beauty and various lake activities such as canoeing and fishing. However, that pleasure ended earlier this year when we realized that the lake water level had been significantly lowered, by approximately two feet or more, due to a major construction mistake or error during a City guided dam restoration effort. Our Lake was quickly becoming an eyesore with many other problems as noted on the attached petition. My grandchildren are no longer allowed near the lake much less go out on the canoe as they have before. I have a large area next to my bulkhead that used to be covered with water and now looks like a jungle with all kinds of extremely thick tall vegetative growth (Photos attached.) This is just my property. There are about 70 other similar or worse stories that could be told by other Kings Lake property owners. The Petition I have attached a copy of our Petition to the City of Virginia Beach which was drafted for presentation to the senior leadership of our wonderful City. I have been advised by the City Clerk that a copy of this petition has been provided to you and I will not take your time to read it now. Additional Comments: The extent to which concerns exist by our citizens extends well beyond those who live on Kings Lake. We started our petition drive on August 30, 1 2015 and completed it on September 28, 2015 and obtained 191 signatures. Of these, 82 were from Kings Lake homeowners and residents, 102 were from citizens in the surrounding Kings Grant neighborhood near the lake, and the remainder from other interested citizens who visit and/or have enjoyed fishing and other activities on the lake. We are here tonight presenting these petitions to the City of Virginia Beach leadership and management because the concerns expressed by some Kings Lake residents to city officials dating back to late January 2015 received differing rationale for why the lake water level was lowered and some received no responses at all. We are not here to embarrass this City we love. We are only asking that the pledge made to us when we were asked to sign to give the City permission to perform this dam restoration be kept. That pledge was that our lake water level would be returned to its prior normal level. Another factor worth mentioning is the dredging of about 600 feet of Kings Lake near Oxford Drive that was accomplished in 2013 as part of a $12 million City project. If the lake water level is not returned to its prior normal level, then that dredging should not have been done and all taxpayer funds spent on the planning, execution and completion of that effort will be a total waste. (Photos attached.) While this has been an extremely painful excruciating process for the past several months for lake residents, we should report to you that we have noticed a difference in the way city officials responsible for the Lake have responded to us and have expressed some interest in getting this problem corrected. This change occurred at about the same time we started our petition drive. Because of the tremendous investments made by Kings Lake property owners to build bulkheads, docks, and other property improvements to suit the prior normal water level; and, the City's huge investments in the dredging and dam restoration efforts, we believe that we must stay vigilant and not accept anything less than what we were promised—a lake at its full prior normal water level. That is why we continued our petition drive to completion. And we now find that over the last few weeks, the Kings Lake water level has shown signs of even more lowering which could indicate there is also some dam seepage or leakage since the water level has been well below the spillway for several weeks. Some Kings Lake property owners have been recently advised by city officials that efforts are underway to raise the dam weir by seven to eight 2 I I I inches which is probably less than one-third of what is needed. If we find that the City does not fulfill its commitment to us, then we will have to resort to more intensive efforts including inquiries with State and Federal agencies which could become an enormous embarrassment to the City at several levels. We have no desire or appetite for that; only that our lake be returned to its prior natural state. Now, with the current sad state of our lake, we also believe that it is paramount to expedite a minimal effort to achieve the proper spillway level and any other actions necessary to achieve and maintain the water level that existed prior to the dam restoration. Our lake is dying! Thank you for giving me this opportunity to address you tonight on behalf of our Kings Grant Community. We respectfully request that you direct those actions necessary to get our lake full and healthy again. We invite and encourage any and all interested city officials, management and leadership to visit and tour our lake to see the situation first hand. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have that I can answer at this time. Thank you. 3 Attachment Petition to the City of Virginia Beach Petition Summary: This petition to the City of Virginia Beach Leadership and Management is for the purpose of respectfully requesting that the City keep its pledge to the Kings Lake property owners and take action to raise the Kings Lake spillway to its proper level and return Kings Lake to its prior normal water level before the mistake or error that was made in the recent dam restoration effort. Kings Lake was one of the proud focal points in our Kings Grant neighborhood and provided a pleasant view from the lake property owners' homes and the streets and neighbors around the Lake as well as enjoyable lake fishing and boating activities for more than 45 years. The current lower lake water level has resulted in widespread unsightly growths of vegetation beyond homeowner bulkheads that also limit access to the lake, wetland issues that EPA could address, significant impact on lake wildlife such as ducks and geese, bulkhead and other property damage, and lower property values. Action Petitioned For: We the undersigned are concerned citizens who urge our leaders to act now to require the City of Virginia Beach Department of Public Works to take the minimal action necessary to raise the Kings Lake dam spillway to its proper level thereby returning the Kings Lake prior normal water level as was promised prior to the recent dam restoration.
