Councilman Dyer attended the screening of "Fallen" and expressed his appreciation to Former Chief
Jacocks for the invitation to watch such a powerful film. Councilman Dyer stated the City is fortunate to
have such outstanding First Responder personnel. The City continues to "talk about" salary
compression for not only the First Responders but City employees as a whole. Mr. Dyer feels the time of
rhetoric is past and it is now time for action.

COMMENTS

Councilman Moss expressed his concern regarding the Town Hall Public Information process during the
Summer and feels it is not a good time to engage the public. Councilman Moss recalls the City Council
agreeing to schedule a "workshop" to discuss whether the City Council wants to consider the relocation
of City Hall.
Councilman Dyer echoed Councilman Moss' comments; however, he feels it is important to get
information to the public and why the first Town Hall meeting is scheduled for this next Monday, June
26`h. The initial meeting is to let the public know what the problems are in the current City Hall.
Mayor Sessoms agreed with the comments and wanted to get the information regarding the problems that
exist in City Hall to the public as quickly as possible.
City Manager Hansen advised a Video is being created to show the public what problems exist in City
Hall.
Mayor Sessoms advised he would like to see an RFP be prepared and see how much, if any, interest is
generated. He feels an RFP might be better for the City.
Councilman Moss feels it is important to discuss and decide if there are six (6) Council Members that
would consider moving City Hall from the Municipal Complex and, if not, then take that off the discussion
table. He,for one, is not interested in moving City Hall anywhere else in the City.
Councilman Dyer feels it will be good to gauge the public's viewpoint at next Monday's Town Hall and
he suggested City Council reserve some time at the following Tuesday's Workshop to discuss the results
of the first Public Meeting.

INVOCATION: Reverend Sidney L. Davis

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.
June 20, 2017

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. Because of the nature of Real Estate Agent affiliation and the volume of
transactions it handles in any given year, Berkshire Hathaway 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 January 13, 2015, is hereby made a part of the record.
Council Lady Rosemary Wilson also DISCLOSED she has a personal interest in Dixon Hughes
Goodman and receives income from the firm as a result of her late husband's employment. The income is
proceeds from the sale of his partnership interest,paid out over an extended period of time. She is not an
employee of Dixon Hughes Goodman, does not have any role in management of the company and does is
not privy to its client list. However, due to the size of Dixon Hughes Goodman and the volume of
transactions it handles in any given year, Dixon Hughes Goodman may have an interest in matters of
which she has no personal knowledge. In that regard, she is always concerned about the appearance of
impropriety that might arise if she unknowingly participates in a matter before City Council in which
Dixon Hughes Goodman has an interest. In order to ensure her compliance with both the letter and spirit
of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act (the "Act"), it is her practice to thoroughly
review each City Council agenda to identify any matters in which she might have an actual or potential
conflict. If, during her review of an agenda, she identifies a matter in which she has a `personal
interest", as defined by the Act, she 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. Council Lady Wilson's
letter of June 2, 2015, is hereby made a part of the record.

26 or intended for occupancy for dwelling, sleeping, or lodging purposes, for
27 a period of fewer than 30 consecutive days, in exchange for a charge for
28 the occupancy.

31 revenue annually. The registration shall be ministerial in nature and shall require
32 operators to provide the complete name of the operator and the address of each

A RESOLUTION OPPOSING OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS
EXPLORATION, INCLUDING SEISMIC TESTING
1 WHEREAS, the City Council, in 2010, adopted a resolution supporting offshore
2 oil and gas exploration with royalty payments to Atlantic Coast states;
3
4 WHEREAS, in 2015, several local business organizations and Council-appointed
5 advisory agencies urged the City Council to oppose offshore oil and gas exploration,
6 including the Resort Advisory Commission, the City's Green Ribbon Committee, the
7 Virginia Aquarium Foundation, Lynnhaven River NOW, the Virginia Beach Hotel
8 Association, and the Virginia Beach Restaurant Association; the Princess Anne Garden
9 Club, the Virginia Beach Garden Club, the Sandbridge Civic League and the Resort
10 Beach Civic League also oppose offshore oil and gas exploration;
11
12 WHEREAS, these organizations oppose exploration offshore of the City's
13 coastline due to the vulnerability of the coast and beaches to catastrophes that could
14 adversely impact the City's tourism industry for decades;
15
16 WHEREAS, in 2015, the City Council repealed its 2010 ordinance in support of
17 offshore energy exploration and adopted a resolution which set forth a neutral position
18 on offshore energy exploration;
19
20 WHEREAS, the Department of Defense has updated its 2010 findings on outer
21 continental shelf oil and gas activities, noting new mission requirements, including
22 expanded weapon and sensor footprints, and operational concerns in the Mid-Atlantic
23 Planning Area that includes areas off of Virginia Beach's coastline;

30 forces that conduct activities off of the City's coastline;

38 cities and a highly valued partner with the Navy;

42 economy for decades.
43
44 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
45 OF VIRGINIA BEACH:
46

Re: Abstention Pursuant to Conflict of Interests Act § 2.2-3115(F)
Dear Mrs. Fraser:
In my now fourteen years of service to the public on City Council I have rarely
abstained. It is my position that state law sets the lowest standard of acceptable conflicts
of interests. Unlike the Commonwealth of Virginia's much lower standard of conflict of
interests, the Federal standard is one of avoiding even the appearance of a conflict.
The resolution on offshore drilling on City Council's June 20, 2017 Agenda
references the Department of Defense's October 2015 response to the Department of the
Interior's comment period on proposed offshore energy exploration in the Mid-Atlantic
Region.
As an employee of the Department of Defense, I have concluded that my
participation in City Council's discussion and vote on this resolution would result in the
appearance of a conflict of interest under the "appearance of a conflict of interest
standard." Therefore, my decision is to abstain from the agenda item referenced in this
letter for the aforementioned reason.
My bias is to vote, and I am not one to avoid controversy. My duty to preserve
the public's trust that I will uphold the highest ethical standards takes precedence. It is to
the latter and higher duty that my vote of abstention upholds.
