Dr. Kaleel lives in Youngtown, Ohio, and recently wrote a book on "Effective Economic Development Methods for Municipalities". A lot of the coursework was done in the City and references Virginia Beach multiple times. July 12, 2016 45 CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS ITEM#66154 (Continued) Council Lady Henley attended the Agriculture Advisory Commission meeting last night where the issue of a bounty on coyotes came up. At a recent City Council Meeting during Open Dialogue, a Citizen spoke regarding this very same issue and last night the Farm Bureau shared the same concerns. The Farm Bureau proposed to include this in their State Resolutions request to the Game and Inland Fisheries. They also requested the City consider including it in their Legislative Package as well. Delegate Knight was in attendance and supports this request. The Farm Bureau is asking the City to look at the Land-Use Taxation Evaluation for assessments. Since beginning of Program, the City used the recommended amount from the State Land Evaluation and Advisory Council (SLEAC); however, the Farm Bureau is now requesting the City adopt a policy using $1,800 per acre (the current ARP valuation for Agriculture Land) or SLEAC, whichever is less. Council Lady Henley asked the City Manager, along with Management Services, the Real Estate Assessor and City Auditor, look at this proposal and bring back a recommendation.

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 idents 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.

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. Council Lady Rosemary Wilson DISCLOSED she is a Real Estate Agent affiliated with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Town Realty ("Berkshire Hathaway'), which was formerly known as Prudential Towne Realty.

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 identiffing any matters in which she might have an actual or potential conflict.

The intent of these two items is to ensure the quality of the bonds that are ultimately issued for the project. The changes to the Conditions of Support are identified below: 17 1. Maximum amount financed shall be no more than$200M for construction or the actual guaranteed maximum price for the design-build construction contract,whichever is less,plus capitalized interest on a drawndown basis,debt service reserves and issuance costs 2. The amount financed shall not include any previously incurred expenditures by USM or any development fee payable to USM 3. Maximum Payment Cap set forth on Schedule 2 to the Arena Fund Agreement shall not change,including the maximum annual payment amounts and the maximum 33 year term of such payments . A complete independent financial feasibility study shall be provided to the City prior to any vote on an amendment to the Development Agreement, 5.

All protections and cure rights of the City contemplated by the Project Documents will be included in the final Project Documents and final documents evidencing the Bond Structure Barbara Messner spoke in OPPOSITION. Ms. Messner stated a number of Council Members have conflicts of interest and should not discuss or vote on this project. None of the taxes generated from this project will be returned to the General Fund Ms. Messner feels that all businesses should "stand on their own" and not be subsidized with taxpayer money. She feels this is the wrong location,funding and time. Kenny Golden, 3425 Montgomery Place, Phone: 581-7499, spoke in OPPOSITION. The Virginia Beach Tea Party voted to oppose the Arena deal and he is here to voice the reasons behind the opposition. The infrastructure costs are said to be between $59-73-Million. This is a tremendous amount of money as the City continues to go deeper in debt. Parking is a main concern and he continues to have concerns regarding the Veteran's Memorial. Hampton Roads does not have the number of people or the infrastructure to support an Arena.

This project has been misrepresented and wanted to clarify a few points. There is 1-%2 acres of Oyster Reef well into the planning stages for the Eastern Branch of the Lynnhaven River to be constructed next Spring. The funds for this project are being provided by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation with a Grant obtained by Lynnhaven River NOW and built with repurposed crushed concrete layered with oyster shell, maximizing the value of the shell. In 2007, Lynnahven River NOW entered into a verbal Agreement with the City to develop, manage and execute an Oyster and Clam Shell Collection Program throughout the City. Since 2007, the program has increased to include five (5)public drop-off locations, 26 restaurants and over 20 special events throughout the year. Until the end of 2014 the reimbursements were timely in nature and the current invoices are for January 1, 2015 thru June 30, 2016. The services have continued in good faith. She requested the City follow through with the Agreement that was reached in 2007. Donald Edwards, 3464 Marabon Lane, Phone: 389-0199, spoke in OPPOSITION. Mr. Edwards advised there are three (3) Plans and he is not sure which one is going to be considered tonight. There is a June 9`h Plan that is inconsistent with the Code of Virginia, the June 21'Amendment to the June 9th Plan and now the June 24th Draft Plan.

The City Council adopted ordinances from 2002 through 2015 describing activities directed at increasing oyster habitat in the City's Chesapeake Bay watersheds and primarily the Lynnhaven River watershed. These efforts were initially funded through the use of funds derived from City Council and violations of the City's Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act and earmarked for use in the City's tidal waters. The success of the City's efforts within the Lynnhaven River was recognized when the City and its partners were selected to receive a 2009 Coastal America Partnership Award for outstanding efforts to restore and protect the coastal environment by President Obama. The success of the sanctuary reef initiative was partly responsible and clearly demonstrated in the Lynnhaven Watershed by the lifting of harvesting restrictions of over 2,244 acres versus 50 acres in 2002. This Virginia Beach Oyster Heritage Plan is intended to help guide City decisions to achieve the highest possible quality and quantity of sustainable oyster habitat and populations within the City of Virginia Beach tidal waterways and to help accomplish multiple outcomes, including establishing sanctuary oyster reef habitat as recommended in various nonprofit, state and federal reports and plans; working to utilize oyster habitat and populations to help achieve local, state and federal water quality goals and objectives; and helping promote and support an economically viable oyster shellfish industry undertaken by commercial watermen in the City. The Plan includes a range of actions to support the City's oyster heritage strategy, including: oyster shell recycling, sanctuary oyster reefs, annual surveys, reporting and communication, education and awareness, update/reevaluate Oyster Heritage Fund formula, ongoing research and analysis, plan alignment, continuing a partnership with a nonprofit to allow fundraising and keeping the Plan current through amendments and revisions as deemed appropriate. The Plan also includes a number of attachments that provide specific details about various aspects of the Plan. 4 Oyster Heritage Plan HISTORY OF VIRGINIA BEACH OYSTER HERITAGE PROGRAM AND PLAN The Virginia Beach Oyster Heritage Plan formalizes what has been an ongoing City effort since March, 2001, when the City Council first authorized funding to support the Virginia Oyster Heritage Program (VOHP). The VOHP had three elements: construction of oyster sanctuary reefs; monitoring reefs and local oyster populations; and providing education to the public about the benefits of oyster restoration. To accomplish its ends, the VOHP partnered with a non-profit, the Virginia Oyster Reef Heritage Foundation, to conduct private fundraising because private donations are necessary to meet the funding goals and private cash match opportunities. The work plan for the VOHP was not focused upon the Lynnhaven River, so the City staff sought opportunities to undertake a similar partnership structure that included state agencies, the Army Corps, and one or more nonprofit partners to commit to oyster restoration in the Lynnhaven River. After the March 2001 ordinance, the City Council provided funding from the Oyster Heritage Fund for various activities focused in the Lynnhaven River. The City has worked with the Virginia Marine Resources Commission throughout. Initially, the City's nonprofit partner was the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. A citizen group called the Lynnhaven River 2007 citizens watershed organization emerged in 2002 and 2003 as having a desire to focus specifically upon the restoration needs of the Lynnhaven River, and this group organized a nonprofit, Lynnhaven River 2007 ("LR2007"). In September 2, 2003, the City Council adopted a Memorandum of Understanding between the City and LR2007 that described the coordination of effort in furtherance of improving water quality and restoring estuary habitats in the Lynnhaven River. In December 2006, LR2007 changed its name to Lynnhaven River Now (LRN). Between 2005 and 2010, the City of Virginia Beach and Lynnhaven River NOW worked in partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build 58 acres of sanctuary oyster reef habitat, primarily in the Linkhorn Bay and Broad Bay areas of the Lynnhaven River watershed. In 2008, Lynnhaven River NOW and the City of Virginia Beach constructed the approximately 1/3 acre Athey Sanctuary Oyster Reef at the confluence of Long Creek and the Lynnhaven Inlet in part with approximately 5,000 bushels of shells from the City's stockpile at the Landfill and Resource Recovery Center, collected through Lynnhaven River NOW's Save Oyster Shell project and funding obtained by Lynnhaven River NOW from the Fish America Foundation. In addition to the construction of sanctuary reefs, the City has provided funding for LRN to undertake shell recycling activities as restaurants and drop-off locations and an educational campaign called, "Save our Shells." Throughout, LRN has undertaken fundraising efforts to allow interested residents to make donations in furtherance of restoration efforts. 5 Oyster Heritage Plan PLAN MISSION The Virginia Beach Oyster Heritage Plan is intended to help guide City decisions to achieve the highest possible quality and quantity of sustainable oyster habitat and populations within the City of Virginia Beach tidal waterways and to help accomplish multiple outcomes, including: • Establish sanctuary oyster reef habitat and other oyster habitat restoration methods such as intertidal reefs and oyster castles as recommended in various nonprofit, state and federal reports and plans. • Work to utilize oyster habitat and populations to help achieve local, state and federal water quality goals and objectives. • Help promote and support an economically viable oyster shellfish industry undertaken by commercial watermen in the City. OYSTER HERITAGE PLAN ACTIONS I. Department of Public Works A. Oyster Shell Recycling, Education and Fund-Raising If the City Council provides funding, the City, through its Department of Public Works will contract to have oyster shells picked up from area restaurants, public drop off locations and special events groups. This contract will be awarded based on the City and State Procurement Requirements. The intent of such contract is to continue the three- pronged approach described above as being first undertaken by the VOHP and later in the City's efforts: 1. Shell Collection: The Department of Public Works will direct the gathering, transport and drop-off of oyster shells from restaurants and drop-off locations. The Contractor will be required to contact restaurants to enroll the restaurants and drop-off locations in furtherance of oyster recycling. In the recruitment of restaurants, the Contractor shall be able to describe the benefits of an oyster recycling program and the proper handling of shells. Subject to additional direction by the City, the City anticipates the collection of shells four days per week from restaurants. The drop-off requirements shall be subject to the City's Public Works Waste Management Division's oversight of the City Resource Recovery Center on Jake Sears Road. The Waste Management Division will issue a receipt at drop-off, and the Contractor shall retain such receipts for the life of the contract. 6 Oyster Heritage Plan 2. Education: The Department of Public Works will direct the Contractor to provide educational information at farmer's markets, trade shows, or similar events. 3. Fundraising: The Contractor shall have the ability to receive tax deductible donations from residents or businesses. Upon receipt of such donation, the Contractor shall provide a written acknowledgement. Nothing herein shall mandate the use of such donations for a purpose other than that for which the donation was provided. B. Shell Storage, Curing The Waste Management Division of Public Works will collect shells at the City's Resource Recovery Center on Jake Sears Road. The shells will be stored and sequestered for 3 phases of curing cycles (0-6 months, 6-12 months and 12-18 months) as a City-owned resource at the Virginia Beach Landfill & Recovery Center to accomplish necessary curing for disease prevention for a total of 12-18 months and to accumulate sufficient shell to undertake sanctuary oyster reef habitat projects and shoreline oyster reef restoration projects. The Department of Public Works will designate the use and ultimate disposition of shells with the concurrence of the City Manager. Accounting of all shells received and disbursed will be kept and provided as part of an Annual Report. C. Neighborhood Dredging Special Service District: The Department of Public Works has completed a study on the benefits of oysters for nutrient reduction and a study on oyster reefs as mitigation option for mud flat impacts. The latter study was commissioned in coordination with Lynnhaven River NOW (LRN) to determine the feasibility of creating oyster reefs to mitigate for impacts to tidal wetlands. The study explored the establishment of either an oyster reef mitigation bank or an in-lieu fee fund for this purpose. An inter-agency meeting was held and the permitting agencies agreed in concept that oyster reef mitigation banking could be a viable form of out-of-kind compensation for impacts to tidal, non-vegetated (TNV). Mitigation banks are preferred over in-lieu fee funds for situations where the demand for credits will be somewhat unpredictable over time, as is the case with the Neighborhood Dredging SSD Program. The next step in the feasibility study is to gain agency approval on a method for calculating mitigation ratios between oyster reefs and TNV wetlands. The ultimate goal is to establish a multi-site oyster reef mitigation bank in conjunction with LRN where reefs would be constructed in various locations, and credits sold to mitigate for impacts to TNV wetlands in the Lynnhaven River watershed, and possibly expanding to serve all tidal watersheds in the City. Oyster Heritage Plan II. Department of Planning and Community Development A. Reef Restoration Project Planning Shell stockpiles must be held until such time that enough shell has been accumulated to undertake a sanctuary reef construction project. The amount of shell for a project is determined by reef location, reef size and other parameters, such as the internal composition of the reef, as some reef structures can be constructed with core material that is not shell (such as broken concrete). As shell resources are limited and extremely valuable commodities, oyster shell shall not be used by private businesses, or for purposes other than sanctuary oyster reef construction, sanctuary restoration and oyster research. Shells from the Oyster Shell Recycling Program shall only be used for the following purposes: 1. Sanctuary oyster reef habitat restoration projects constructed by the City; 2. Sanctuary oyster reef habitat restoration projects constructed by other agencies and nonprofits where the City is a partner or gives its approval; and/or 3. Match for state, federal and private funding or grants for sanctuary oyster reef habitat restoration projects in any of the City's waterways as noted above. The goal is to construct 100 acres of oyster sanctuary reef in the Lynnhaven River. City staff will evaluate the potential for establishment of sanctuary oyster reef habitat in the Eastern and Western Branches of the Lynnhaven River. Staff will also evaluate potential for establishment of additional sanctuary oyster reef habitat in the Rudee Inlet / Owl Creek watershed. Any construction efforts may require the coordination of the Department of Planning and the Department of Public Works. In the event that there is a cost share agreement between the City and a state, federal or non-profit partner that includes construction, the City Council will be briefed upon such project. If the construction requires City funding, a City Council vote to approve the construction project. Annual surveys of oyster populations may be undertaken by City partners as needed to support the analysis of future sanctuary development. There is no expectation or intention that Oyster Heritage funds will be used for this purpose. 8 Oyster Heritage Plan B. Reporting; Awareness Maintain and update information related to the City's Oyster Heritage Program on the existing City website to communicate City plans, activities, projects and accomplishments as well as benefits of sanctuary oyster reef habitat restoration to helping achieve water quality goals and sustainability of commercial shellfish operations. The Planning Department will submit an annual report on Oyster Heritage Fund activities and financial accounts, and such report may be a written letter to the City Council. Work with nonprofit, state and federal partners to implement an ongoing oyster heritage awareness program. Partners may include but not be limited to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation; the College of William and Mary, School of Marine Science, Virginia Institute of Marine Science; the Elizabeth River Project; Lynnhaven River NOW; the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation; the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and the Virginia Marine Resources Commission. Determine the best potential locations for the construction of sanctuary oyster reef habitats, based on best available scientific research and other sources of information. This effort will be coordinated by appropriate staff. There is no intention or expectation the Oyster Heritage Fund will be used for this effort. Ensure continued City Plan alignment as appropriate with the federal Chesapeake Bay Oyster Recovery: Native Oyster Restoration Master Plan Maryland and Virginia prepared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore and Norfolk Districts in September, 2012. Work with City's Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area Board to reevaluate the current formula and fee structure used to determine donations to the Oyster Heritage Fund and evaluate relevancy of current formula to actual sanctuary oyster reef habitat construction costs. This plan may be amended and revised by action of the City Council. Non- substantive changes do not require action of the City Council. As advancements are made in oyster restoration science and new strategies are developed, the attachments of this plan may be supplemented without action by the City Council. 9 Oyster Heritage Plan Attachment 1: Alignment with City Vision and Plans (compiled by Department of Planning & Community Development) Envision Virginia Beach 2040 We value and enhance our greatest natural assets: a broad array of coastal resources that includes beaches, waterways, farmlands and wetlands. We are a model community for clean air and water, and our commitment to environmental sustainability. Local foods, open space and parks contribute to the overall quality of life and healthy living. Sustainability Plan Goal 15 We will achieve and maintain high water quality to ensure public health, protection and propagation of aquatic life, and recreation in and on the water. • Objective 15.2 - Increase bio filtration habitat (oysters, wetlands, submerged aquatic vegetation, living shorelines). Goal 16 We will promote the city's valuable ware resources for tourism, aquaculture, and as a center of excellence in marine and water quality research. • Objective 16.2 - Partner with local colleges and higher learning institutions to encourage marine research. • Objective 16.3 - Promote opportunities for aquaculture. • Objective 16.4 - Support our local fishing community and promote the sale and consumption of locally harvested sustainable seafood. Comprehensive Plan • Develop and implement policies and programs that protect, restore and enhance critical habitats along the City's waterways. • Restore and attain sustainable inventories of native edible oysters in the Lynnhaven River. • Restore oyster reefs in the Lynnhaven and Owl Creek estuaries by developing a hatchery plan and constructing sanctuary reefs. 10 Oyster Heritage Plan Attachment 2: Oyster Heritage Restoration in Virginia Beach— Background, Justification and Oyster Reef Ecological Services and Benefits (compiled by Department of Planning & Community Development) Unfortunately, in the last century, the once prominent oyster population in the City's waterways was decimated by overharvesting, loss of oyster habitat, oyster disease and decreased water quality. It has been estimated that the City's oyster population once fell as low as 1°A) of historic abundance, and this decline had drastically negative consequences for water quality and fish habitat in the City's waterways. The purpose of the City's Oyster Heritage Program is to help maintain the significant progress that has been made in the City's waterways over the past two decades, and to help sustain that improvement for the future. Oysters are a keystone species in the local estuarine ecosystem because they provide water filtration, shoreline protection, nutrient cycling, pH buffering, and food and habitat to myriad species of fish and other creatures that live in the City's tidal waterways. Thus, sanctuary oyster reef habitat restoration is widely recognized by scientists and resource managers as a premier strategy for revitalizing a tidal waterway's devastated oyster population and for restoring the critical ecosystem functions that oyster reefs naturally provide for water filtration and fish habitat in a waterway. Oysters are voracious filter feeders. A single adult eastern oyster (Crossostrea virginica), also referred to as the Atlantic oyster or Virginia oyster, filters 50 gallons of water a day and removes algae and sediment that cloud the water and hinder sea grass rebound. As an oyster filters, it assimilates nitrogen from the algae it consumes into its shell and body. It then produces bio deposits that serve as food for reef-dwelling organisms. There are naturally-occurring bacteria in an oyster reef that decompose the bio deposits and initiate a process called denitrification, which releases additional harmful nitrogen from the river in gaseous form. This reduces the negative consequences of estuarine eutrophication, and increases dissolved oxygen levels in our estuaries. Oysters form reef structures from their shells. Oyster reefs provide a community center in the estuarine system, like coral reefs provide in the marine system. In between the oysters' shells, there is interstitial space where small organisms can hide. These interstices provide habitat for myriad species of small fish, crustaceans, worms, bivalves and other invertebrates. Large predator fish then collect near the outskirts of oyster reefs because they can easily find food by foraging on the reef dwellers. In our Virginia Beach waters, we would expect to find the following sport fish using the oyster reef as habitat and as a food source: Black Drum, Black Sea Bass, Bluefish, Red Drum, Sheepshead, Speckled Trout, Striped Bass, Summer Flounder, Tautog and Weakfish. Oyster reefs are considered Essential Fish Habitat because they provide habitat and food for such a vast array of organisms. 11 II Oyster Heritage Plan The City is committed to meeting the nutrient and sediment reduction goals established by the Chesapeake Bay TMDL. To accomplish this, a variety of techniques and practices must be employed. In its Phase II Watershed Implementation Plan, the City identified sanctuary oyster reef construction as one of its methods for reducing nutrients and sediments. Sanctuary oyster reef construction is not only an essential part of restoring our critically important native oyster population, but may also become an important and cost effective tool for the City and other local communities to employ to meet their respective TMDL reduction goals. The City is likewise committed to restoring the native oyster population through the construction and ongoing maintenance of sanctuary oyster reef habitat in our tidal waterways as a proven strategy for improving water quality and providing critical estuarine habitat. The establishment and protection of sanctuary oyster reef habitat areas through designation by the Virginia Marine Resources Commission helps to ensure that native broodstock of oysters remain in perpetuity as a source of oyster spat to help populate and sustain both private oyster lease areas and non-leased areas in our waterways. Additionally, work by commercial watermen to improve the quality of the habitat and oyster stock on private oyster ground leases helps to sustain these valuable resources. These leased areas are secured from the Virginia Marine Resources Commission, which is charged with administering the Commonwealth's public trust waterways and wetlands areas in perpetuity for the public good. In combination, sanctuary oyster reef habitat and private leased oyster grounds can work in harmony to provide a sound and sustainable strategy for the City's oyster heritage. 12 Oyster Heritage Plan Attachment 3: Virginia Beach's Oyster Heritage Watersheds— A Brief Synopsis of Activities to Date by Watershed (compiled by Department of Planning & Community Development) Lvnnhaven River The Lynnhaven River is the southernmost river that feeds into the Chesapeake Bay. The river's inlet to the Bay is located approximately 5 nautical miles from the confluence of the Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The Lynnhaven River is a highly developed watershed, covering approximately 41,300 acres (64.5 square miles) of the City. The Lynnhaven River watershed development pattern is largely residential and commercial in nature with a population of approximately 195,000, roughly 44.5% of the City's population, living in approximately 21% of the City's total land area. The Lynnhaven River's major pollutants include fecal coliform contamination from human sources and domestic pet waste, high loads of sediment and nutrient runoff from developed land in the watershed, and toxic chemicals from various human sources. The natural filtration systems, specifically oyster reefs, riparian areas, wetlands and sea grass beds have declined along with land development and associated water quality degradation. The watershed has exhibited decreased finfish populations, decreased waterfowl populations, and the majority of the river was closed by the Department of Health for shellfish consumption until recent years. As described in a September 2105 article written by Romuald N. Lipcius et al. in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science, the Lynnhaven is a unique area: "The narrow inlet limits water exchange with the (Chesapeake) Bay proper, resulting in the Lynnhaven River sub estuary being classified as a trap estuary (Sisson et al., 2010), which promotes (oyster) larval retention. The system is well-mixed due to its shallow nature, and hydrodynamics are driven by tidal exchange and wind patterns. Much of the system is comprised of fine sediments, except for the near shore areas, which are of firm sand and shell." The famed Lynnhaven oyster is both a symbol of the Lynnhaven River's history and was once a keystone species in the system, providing water filtration, as well as food and habitat to myriad species of fish and other creatures that live in the river. Salinity in the Lynnhaven is generally above 20 parts per thousand making it a suitable place for oyster restoration efforts to thrive. In 1997, sanctuary oyster reef restoration became a major initiative in the Lynnhaven River and there have been clear signs of success from the undertaking. Between 1997 and 2005, the Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC) constructed approximately 5.5 acres of sanctuary oyster reef habitat in the Lynnhaven and the reefs have been designated as sanctuaries, so that a self-sustaining oyster population can develop and thrive over time without the damage associated with harvest. Non-profit organizations including Lynnhaven River NOW, Oyster Reef Keepers of Virginia and Chesapeake Bay Foundation, stocked those reefs with 7,400,000 reproductive oysters grown by students and citizens. These oysters were transplanted onto the sanctuary reefs, where they release their offspring into the Lynnhaven River. In 2005, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS)discovered 13 Oyster Heritage Plan that oyster settlement of juvenile oysters was more than 30 times higher in the Lynnhaven River than it was in other rivers in the Chesapeake Bay region where oyster restoration had also been underway. This spat settlement data demonstrate that oyster restoration can work effectively in the Lynnhaven. Between 2005 and 2010, the City of Virginia Beach and Lynnhaven River NOW worked in partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build 58 acres of sanctuary oyster reef habitat, primarily in the Linkhorn Bay and Broad Bay areas of the Lynnhaven River watershed. In 2008, Lynnhaven River NOW and the City of Virginia Beach constructed the approximately 1/3 acre A.they Sanctuary Oyster Reef at the confluence of Long Creek and the Lynnhaven Inlet in part with approximately 5,000 bushels of shells from the City's stockpile at the Landfill and Resource Recovery Center, collected through Lynnhaven River NOW's Save Oyster Shell project and funding obtained by Lynnhaven River NOW from the Fish America Foundation.

Source: Lynnhaven River NOW 14 Oyster Heritage Plan The Baylor Surveys undertaken in the early 1900s by the Commonwealth of Virginia indicate that historically there were at least 1,000 acres of oyster reef in the Lynnhaven. A suggested goal of 100 acres of sanctuary oyster reef habitat created by 2021 has been proposed for the Lynnhaven River system by a partnership of nonprofit, state and federal parties. This goal is also suggested in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's Chesapeake Bay Oyster Recovery Master Plan which recommends between 40 to 150 acres of sanctuary oyster reef habitat are desirable for the Lynnhaven ecosystem. The 10% figure was derived from a variety of surveys, studies and targeted contracted research undertaken in part through the cooperative project for Lynnhaven Watershed restoration undertaken by the City and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Additional research linked to water circulation patterns and oyster spat settlement have helped identify general areas where sanctuary oyster reef habitat establishment has the highest potential for accomplishing sustainable oyster populations in the river. While potential sanctuary oyster reef habitat restoration sites can be best located utilizing historical information such as the Baylor Surveys, recommended spawning stock reefs have the greatest ability to help restore native oyster stocks throughout the Lynnhaven estuary.

Source: http://iournal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fmars.2015.00065/abstract 15 Oyster Heritage Plan The partnership expects this level of restoration to aid in the rebound of our native oyster population by establishing a healthy broodstock for the Lynnhaven River. Such an increase in the native oyster population and broodstock has sustainable benefits for significant water quality improvement and enhancement in the Lynnhaven as well as helping promote a revitalized commercial shell fishing industry. Eastern Branch of the Elizabeth River The Eastern Branch of the Elizabeth River feeds into the Chesapeake Bay by way of Hampton Roads harbor. The Eastern Brach is also a highly developed watershed, covering approximately 9,300 acres (14.5 square miles) of the City. The Eastern Branch watershed development pattern is largely residential and commercial in nature with a population of approximately 64,300, roughly 14.7% of Virginia Beach's population, living in 5% of the city's total land area. The Eastern Branch's major pollutants include fecal coliform contamination from human sources and domestic pet waste, high loads of sediment and nutrient runoff from developed land in the watershed, and toxic chemicals from various human sources. The natural filtration systems, specifically oyster reefs, riparian areas, wetlands and sea grass beds have declined along with land development and associated water quality degradation. The watershed has exhibited decreased finfish populations, decreased waterfowl populations, and the entirety of the river remains closed by the Department of Health for shellfish consumption. The City and other Eastern Branch communities — Chesapeake and Norfolk— recently completed an Action Plan with the nonprofit Elizabeth River Project to help restore environmental resources in the watershed. Included in the plan are recommendations to reestablish sanctuary oyster reef habitat at suitable locations. It is recommended that the City work with partners at the nonprofit, state and federal level to identify potential sites that may exist in the Eastern Branch for such work within the City. Rudee Inlet and Owl Creek The Rudee Inlet and Owl Creek area is the City's only direct ocean connected watershed. The watershed is the City's most man-altered watershed, due to past excavation of extensive wetlands areas associated with sand extraction for resort beach nourishment and constant efforts to maintain Rudee Inlet for navigation access to the Atlantic Ocean. Similar in many respects to the Lynnhaven and Eastern Branch of the Elizabeth River, Rudee Inlet and Owl Creek is also a highly developed watershed, covering approximately 3,000 acres (4.6 square miles) of the City. The Rudee Inlet and Owl Creek watershed development pattern is largely residential and institutional/government in nature with a population of approximately 14,000, roughly 3.1% of Virginia Beach's population, living in less than 1.5% percent of the city's total land area. The watershed's major pollutants include fecal coliform contamination from human sources and domestic pet waste, high loads of sediment and nutrient runoff from developed land in the watershed, and toxic chemicals from various human sources. The natural filtration systems, specifically oyster reefs, riparian areas, wetlands and sea grass beds have declined along with land development and associated water quality degradation. The watershed has exhibited decreased finfish populations, decreased 16 11 Oyster Heritage Plan waterfowl populations, and the entirety of the river remains closed by the Department of Health for shellfish consumption. The Virginia Aquarium in conjunction with Lynnhaven River NOW and the Rudee Inlet Foundation undertook the establishment of the first sanctuary oyster reef habitat project beginning in June, 2015. This project includes a section of shoreline reef located on the City's Aquarium property and constitutes approximately 200 square feet of intertidal reef. This reef was constructed using approximately 60 bushels of oyster shell obtained from the City's shell stockpile located at the City Landfill and Resource Recovery Center. The reef also includes a section of oyster habitat structures called oyster castles as illustrated below. ,1 ''t• ry 'T 4'It„ ,r.,qirro.

Source: Lynnhaven River NOW A sub tidal sanctuary oyster reef was installed in July, 2015 to complete the overall project which encompasses a total area of approximately 250 square feet. Shell for this project was not obtained from the stockpile at the City Landfill and Resource Recovery Center. Little Creek The Little Creek watershed encompasses approximately 8,900 acres (13.9. square miles) of the City. The U.S. Navy has built several sanctuary oyster reefs in the Little Creek inlet area with federal funds. The Little Creek watershed development pattern is largely residential and institutional/government in nature with a population of approximately 48,800, roughly 11.1% of Virginia Beach's population, living in less than 4.5% percent of the city's total land area. The watershed's major pollutants include fecal coliform contamination from human sources and domestic pet waste, high loads of sediment and nutrient runoff from developed land in the watershed, and toxic chemicals from various human sources. The natural filtration systems, specifically oyster reefs, riparian areas, wetlands and sea grass beds were largely eliminated with the creation of the various public water supply reservoirs and with federal government alteration of the watershed for military activities. The entirety of the river remains closed by the Department of Health for shellfish consumption. 17 Oyster Heritage Plan In the future, it recommended that the City partner with the U.S. Navy and other nonprofit, state and federal partners as appropriate to pursue further oyster restoration in the Little Creek watershed. 18 Oyster Heritage Plan Attachment 4: Oyster Shell Recycling (compiled by Department of Planning & Community Development) Lynnhaven River NOW with state grant funding conducted a pilot shell collection program in Virginia Beach in summer 2006. Seven local restaurants participated in the pilot program and two public drop-off sites were established. During the three months of the pilot program, 1,000 bushels of oyster shells were collected. These shells were removed from the solid waste stream and made available for restoration efforts by private individuals. In addition, the restaurant patrons were educated on the value of oyster restoration and recycling our shells. The Save Our Shell program has collected approximately 18,440 bushels of oyster shell from restaurants and other parties, along with over 700 bushels of oyster shells from the Wanchese Packing Plant in Suffolk, and kept this valuable resource for sanctuary oyster reef habitat construction out of the City's landfill. The scope of work for the Public Works Managed solicitation for Oyster Shell Recycling in Fiscal Year 2017 includes the following: 1. Shell Collection: a. At the direction of the Department of Public Works, the Contractor shall undertake the gathering, transport and drop-off of oyster shells from restaurants. By way of example, the following restaurants have previously participated in oyster recycling programs in the City of Virginia Beach: 21st Street Seafood Company, Abbey Road, Blue Seafood and Spirits, Bubba's, Captain George's, Chick's Oyster Bar, Coastal Grill, C.P. Shuckers (Oceanfront and Bayside), Croaker's Neighborhood Grill, Croc's 19th Street Bistro, Dockside, Five 01 City Grill, Harpoon Larry's, Lucky Oyster, Metropolitan Oyster Exchange, McCormick & Schmick's, Rockafellers, Salt, Sheraton Oceanfront, Steinhilbers, Surfrider (Marina Shores and Cypress Point), Swan Terrace at Founder's Inn, Tautog's, Yukai Seafood Buffet. The Contractor will be required to contact restaurants to enroll the restaurants in furtherance of oyster recycling. In the recruitment of restaurants, the Contractor shall be able to describe the benefits of an oyster recycling program and the proper handling of shells. Subject to additional direction by the City, the City anticipates the collection of shells four days per week from restaurants. The drop-off requirements shall be subject to the City's Public Works Waste Management Division's oversight of the City Resource Recovery Center on Jake Sears Road. The Waste Management Division will issue a receipt at drop-off, and the Contractor shall retain such receipts for the life of the contract. b. At the direction of the Department of Public Works, undertake the gathering, transport and drop-off of oyster shells from public drop-off locations. By way of example, the following drop-off locations have previously participated in oyster recycling programs in the City of Virginia Beach: Virginia Aquarium, Whole Foods Market. The Contractor will be required to seek other public drop-off locations in furtherance of oyster 20 Oyster Heritage Plan recycling. Subject to additional direction by the City, the City anticipates the collection of shells four days per week from restaurants. The drop-off requirements shall be subject to the City's Public Works Waste Management Division's oversight of the City Resource Recovery Center on Jake Sears Road. The Waste Management Division will issue a receipt at drop-off, and the Contractor shall retain such receipts for the life of the contract. c. The Department of Public Works may direct complaints it receives to the Contractor, and the Contractor shall respond to such complaints within 3 business days. If the complaint is not addressed to the satisfaction of the City, the City may require the Contractor to undertake remedial actions in furtherance of the subject of such complaint. 2. Education: The Department of Public Works will direct the Contractor to provide educational information at farmer's markets, trade shows, or similar events. For purposes of estimating the level of effort, the amount quoted in response to this RFQ should anticipate 20 hours of educational work per quarter. If there is additional education required, the parties may agree to a change order provided such change order is in writing. 3. Fundraising:The Contractor shall have the ability to receive tax deductible donations from residents or businesses. Upon receipt of such donation, the Contractor shall provide a written acknowledgement. Nothing herein shall mandate the use of such donations for a purpose other than that for which the donation was provided. 20 Oyster Heritage Plan Attachment 5: Oyster Heritage Restoration Program- Research, Planning and Partnership Activities (compiled by Department of Planning & Community Development) Oyster restoration has been successful, in large part, because of the synergy of multiple partners who each provide a necessary component of the oyster restoration effort. City, state and federal funds have largely been used to construct sanctuary oyster reef habitat structures on the footprint of historic reefs. Nonprofit organizations like Lynnhaven River NOW, Oyster Reef Keepers of Virginia, the Elizabeth River Project and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation coordinate citizen oyster gardening efforts in order to stock reproductive oysters to sanctuary oyster reef habitat sites and to perpetuate public engagement in oyster restoration. The Virginia Marine Resources Commission is committed to the conservation and restoration of shellfish populations in Virginia waters. The Commission oversees and tracks the transplant of oysters onto sanctuary oyster reefs. Researchers at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science study all aspects of oyster reef restoration, from reef biodiversity to reef dynamics to reef nutrient cycling and oyster diseases. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ensures continued collaboration of all of these agencies, and others, as they host quarterly meetings of an Interagency Oyster Restoration team. This team includes representatives from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, the Virginia Marine Resources Commission, the City, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Christopher Newport University, Lynnhaven River NOW, the Elizabeth River Project, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and other agencies and organizations. This meeting provides an invaluable opportunity for all of the City's oyster restoration partners to collaborate on initiatives, including those proposed in this Plan. The City will continue to participate with the Interagency Oyster Restoration team and other efforts to utilize the best science and the resources available to further oyster restoration, improve water quality, and reach our oyster restoration goals. The City does not employ an oyster scientist. Nevertheless, that expertise is available to the City from its partnership with various organizations and agencies with expertise in oyster restoration. Those groups include but are not limited to: • Chesapeake Bay Foundation • College of William and Mary, School of Marine Science, Virginia Institute of Marine Science • Elizabeth River Project • Lynnhaven River NOW 21 Oyster Heritage Plan • National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration • U.S. Army Corps of Engineers • Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation • Virginia Department of Environmental Quality • Virginia Marine Resources Commission The City is committed to continuing its partnership with these organizations and agencies to further oyster restoration efforts in our tidal waterways. 22 Oyster Heritage Plan Attachment 6: Oyster Heritage Restoration Program Contribution Structure (compiled by Department of Planning & Community Development) The Oyster Heritage Program formula and contribution structure was developed by Staff at the request of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area Board. The Board believes that this approach has been a tried and proven approach at helping to improve water quality in the City's Chesapeake Bay watersheds. The formula utilized was refined over an initial period of approximately 6 months' duration when the Board's City Staff and the Board adjusted and finalized the formula and contribution structure. The contribution is voluntary. Since that time, the City's Oyster Heritage Program formula and contribution structure related to activities requiring variances before the City's Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area Board has been as follows: (X/4)127 x 15 x $1.65 = Oyster Heritage Fund Payment X represents new impervious cover in the Resource Protection Area (RPA) in square feet 4 represents 25% of the new impervious cover in the RPA and is intended to augment other water quality initiatives (200% buffer restoration, BMPs, E&S controls, etc.) for encroachment 27 represents square feet conversion to cubic yards 15 represents approximate quantity of bushels of oyster shell per cubic yard $1.65 represents the cost of oyster shell per bushel Example: 100 square foot impervious cover would equate to a fee of $22.92: (100 square feet /4)/27 x 15 x 1.65 = $22.92 The formula develops a contribution which is based upon the assumption of creating a sanctuary oyster reef habitat area approximately 12 inches deep for 25% of the total amount of impervious cover associated with a Board variance request. The Board's City Staff include this contribution recommendation for each variance request in the Board's agenda package each month with an amount calculated if the total amount of impervious cover is known; otherwise, City Staff include the formula and suggest in the Staff report that the contribution amount be calculated based on a final impervious cover amount once determined. Most applicants for variances have chosen to make the voluntary payment. In addition to the formula and contribution structure used by the Board, over the years a number of parties have made voluntary contributions to the fund that have been totally outside the purview of the Board. 23 Oyster Heritage Plan Attachment 7: City Council Actions to Date (June 1, 2016) re: Oyster Heritage Program (compiled by Department of Planning & Community Development) The following list summarizes all activities undertaken with City Council authorization for appropriation of funds from the Oyster Heritage Fund and other funding sources since its inception.
