CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION
INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT REVIEW OF MAY 31,2019 EVENT
ITEM#69391
2:56 P.M.
Vice Mayor Wood opened the discussion and requested to have Lyndon Remias, City Auditor, discuss his
role in the contract for an Independent Review.
Mr.Remias advised he would be the contract administrator but have no part of the work performed or input
into the final report. Mr. Remias distributed a copy of "City Auditor Notes—Independent Review", which
is attached hereto and made a part of the record. Mr. Remias advised his notes detail a timeline of work
completed so far entailing his research into the procurement of an Independent Consultant. Mr. Remias
advised he is prepared to issue the solicitation tomorrow, July 3, 2019, and close seven days later, on July
12, 2019. The firm that will be chosen will be the one with best value, experience and the most resources
to conduct the Independent Review without having any conflicts in fact or appearance.
Council Member Wilson expressed her appreciation to Mr. Remias for the presentation.
Council Member Wooten asked if the process could be expedited by hiring Attorney Tim Heaphy, who
worked in the Attorney General(AG) Office and investigated the incident in Charlottesville?
Mr. Remias advised Mr. Heaphy no longer works in the AG Office and is currently working as the Special
Counsel for the University of Virginia. He can apply to conduct the Independent Review and would be
welcomed to be considered.
Council Member Wooten asked if the AG's Office in Charlottesville could assist?
Mr. Remias advised there are ways to have the contracted firm bring in individuals to be part of the team.
Council Member Rouse advised he spoke to the Attorney General and was told it would be unprecedented
to have the AG's Office conduct the Independent Review and not recommended. Council Member Rouse
advised he was told the proposed Resolution is the correct way to contract the Independent Review and the
AG's Office will provide resources and guidance as requested. Council Member Rouse further advised
the Resolution should be written so it is clear what is expected to avoid City Council being involved later
to provide direction and asked if anyone had anything to add to the Resolution, they should do it now.
Council Member Berlucchi asked Mr.Remias in conducting his research, did he find any other comparable
to the City's unique situation and the sensitivities it presents? Council Member Berlucchi advised it is
incumbent upon City Council to be particularly sensitive to provide clarity and confidence in this process.
Mr.Remias advised he conducted research in the Navy Yard, Virginia Tech, and Charlottesville events with
the incident in Charlottesville being the most comparable as it happened in a locality. Mr. Remias advised
Charlottesville used the same approach to conduct an Independent Review he is proposing.

INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT REVIEW OF MAY 31,2019 EVENT
ITEM#69391
(Continued)
Council Member Tower advised he is in complete agreement with the proposed process and expressed his
appreciation to Mr. Remias for acting so quickly.
Mr.Remias advised once the firm is selected, the firm can provide a brief to City Council on their approach
in conducting the Independent Review to ensure the scope of services is understood and addressed.
Council Member Henley advised she does not feel there should be any City Council involvement.
Council Member Berlucchi recommended the selected firm provide a brief on the process they will use but
should not be given recommendations that could interfere and erode the independent nature of the
investigation.
Vice Mayor Wood advised there are dozens of inaccurate posts and theories on social media and it is
critically important for the public to know there is an independent entity conducting the Review and how
the public can provide relevant information to the entity. Vice Mayor Wood advised if there is going to be
any sort of briefing, it should be high level with only information provided on what the contractor is going
to do.
Council Member Wilson asked if there is a hotline currently in place for people to provide relevant
information?
Mr. Remias advised in the Charlottesville investigation, the firm provided a portal for people to provide
any useful information including photos. Mr. Remias advised there will be a similar tool for this
Independent Review.
Council Member Wooten advised she does not want to interfere in any way but requested if there is a point
that the firm needs any direction, that all Council Members are included. Council Member Wooten asked
Mr. Remias when the investigation will begin?
Mr. Remias advised it will begin as soon as possible without rushing the selection of the firm.
Mayor Dyer expressed his appreciation to City Council for the discussion.

City Auditor Notes - Independent Review
- 5/31/2019 - Declaration of Local Emergency declared by City Manager
- 6/4/2019 — Ordinance confirming emergency by City Council
- 7/2/2019 - Council has passed the resolution calling for an Independent
Review
- In anticipation of the passing of the resolution explored ways to expedite
the process;
o Met with city's purchasing agent
o Spoke with purchasing agent for City of Charlottesville as well as
Charlottesville Deputy City Attorney— Obtained the Engagement
Letter
o Reviewed the Virginia Public Procurement Act
- Purchasing Agent issued and approved the use of Emergency Procurement
method for the External Investigation
- Procure an independent contractor under the VPPA 2.2-4303 F Methods of
Procurement
"In case of emergency, a contract may be awarded without competitive
sealed bidding or competitive negotiation; however, such procurement
shall be made with such competition as is practicable under the
circumstances."
- We will have some competition as is practicable with the end in mind of
bringing in a firm that has the capability and expertise but doing this in an
expeditious manner
- 7/3/2019 - We have a solicitation that will be finalized today and issued
first thing on 7/3/2019
- Have done some leg work and have identified several firms which we will
solicit coming from:
o Federal General Services Administration (GSA)

o Global Investigations Review Top 100 Firms - The law and practice of
international investigations
- 7/12/2019 - The proposal will be open for seven days and will close next
Friday July 12th. That should give serious and qualified bidders ample time
while balancing the fact that we want to be expeditious but without
rushing. A normal RFP would take up to 3 or 4 months our goal is no more
than 3 or 4 weeks to find and enter into a contract with a vendor.
City Auditor Notes - Independent Review
- Not looking for the lowest cost but best value experience and resources to
perform such an important undertaking
- However, we do not want a firm with any conflict in fact or appearance.
- I have read the various reports and have a good understanding as far as
what the end product should look like. I am confident that I will be able to
select a firm that can meet our expectations and conduct a thorough value
added review.

CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION
GUNS IN THE WORKPLACE
ITEM#69392
3:34 P.M.
Mayor Dyer opened the discussion.
Council Member Rouse advised it is important to have this tough discussion and include City employees
and citizens as the regulation of firearms in the City is essential to the safety and welfare of all of them.
Council Member Rouse advised in the recent political atmosphere, it is important to remember our
humanity and not pit one side against another - we are all on the same side and any regulation is not to
restrict anyone's Second Amendment rights.
Council Member Abbott advised it is imperative to reach out to City employees to understand if they feel
safe and why. Council Member Abbott recommended conducting an anonymous survey to be distributed
to all City employees to get their feedback without the feel of retaliation. Council Member Abbott advised
it is a controversial topic and is concerned about how passionate people are on both sides of the discussion
and how the differences may be reconciled.
Vice Mayor Wood advised the survey recommended by Council Member Abbott could be written and
distributed similar to the Members Survey that has gone out in the past. Vice Mayor Wood advised he
believes the survey is a great idea and can be crafted quickly to get input.
Council Member Wooten advised City employees reached out to her requesting to have a forum and provide
their input regarding options for Building 2 and workplace safety. Council Member Wooten advised she
coordinated the forum with David Hansen, City Manager, and will be held on July 10, 2019, at 5 P.M,
following the Governance Session. Council Member Wooten advised she has a grief counselor from an
independent firm scheduled from 5-6:00 P.M and invited Council Members to engage with employees
afterwards starting at 6:00 P.M.
Mayor Dyer expressed concerns since it is a City function.
Council Member Wooten advised the time for the forum can be changed to 6-7:00 P.M. for Council
Members to engage with City employees.
Mayor Dyer advised he would appreciate the opportunity to attend.
Council Member Henley advised this type of thing is something that needs to be discussed at the
Governance Session. Council Member Henley advised she would like to know how employees feel about
building security in all City buildings and keeping that separate from the gun issue.
Council Member Wooten proposed only discussing the options for Building 2 and not discussing workplace
safety or guns.

important to hear all employees; however, the conversations for this issue need to start with City Council
with the best way to go forward.
Mayor Dyer advised these conversations will continue.
Council Member Wilson advised she likes the idea of distributing the survey and is a good way to collect
data and learn what needs to be addressed.
Council Member Abbott requested to review the survey before it is distributed.
Council Member Tower recommended having a comprehensive safety review conducted that would include
parks, concert venues as well as City buildings.
Vice Mayor Wood advised he would like to have the survey questions prepared so it can be discussed next
week.
Mayor Dyer expressed his appreciation for the tenor and participation.

extending from the Housing Resource Center to Town Center. Council Member Henley advised she
would not independently send a letter of support without conferring with the rest of Council and asked if
anyone else would support it?
Mayor Dyer advised he would support it.
Council Member Wilson advised she would support it as long as the path does not encroach into the
right-of-way where a future multi-modal transportation system can be built.
Council Member Henley advised the path will not affect the right-of-way and will send the letter of
support as this is a rare opportunity to get grant money.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Council Member Rosemary Wilson DISCLOSED that she is a real estate agent affiliated with Howard
Hanna Real Estate Services("Howard Hanna'), who's Oceanfront Office is located at 303 34th Street Suite
102, Virginia Beach, VA 23451. Because of the nature of realtor and real estate agent affiliation, the size
of Howard Hanna, and the volume of transactions it handles in any given year, Howard Hanna 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 (the "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 of the agenda for any given meeting of the Council, she
identifies a matter in which she has a `personal interest, "as defined in the Act, she will file the appropriate
disclosure letter to be recorded in the official records of the City Council. Council Member Wilson
regularly makes this disclosure. Her letter of February 20, 2018, is hereby made part of the record.
July 2, 2019

Council Member 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 idents 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 Member Wilson's letter of June 2, 2015, is
hereby made a part of the record.

The following registered in OPPOSIITON:
Robin Newnam, 4101 Charity Neck Road, Phone: 721-5805, whose residence is directly across from
the application site. There is no direct entry or exit to this parcel. The road frontage is the whole lot. The
streets are narrow, not lined and the ditches are deep. Vehicle traffic cannot pass other vehicles. These
roads are also occupied by heavy farm equipment. This property would be better suited for a warehouse
space.A retail location would be an increase in traffic on these narrow roads, more crime and trash to
pick up. If this parcel is rezoned, Ms. Newman requested a more defined entrance and exit to the
property, a paved parking lot and if the tanks are remaining in the ground, they be removed for
environmental reasons. Ms. Newman would like this business maintained as a neighborhood
establishment, which includes lawn maintenance. She would prefer the business not operate after

Requested by Councilmembers Abbott and Berlucchi
1 A RESOLUTION URGING THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO
2 PROVIDE INCREASED FUNDING FOR MENTAL HEALTH
3 SERVICES
4
5 WHEREAS, in the aftermath of the tragic event of May 31 , 2019, Governor Northam
6 called for a special session of the General Assembly commencing on July 9, 2019, to discuss
7 firearm-related violence;
8
9 WHEREAS, nearly 1.5 million adults in the Commonwealth have some kind of mental
10 illness, but inadequate funding has been allocated to adequately address those in need of
11 mental health services;
12
13 WHEREAS, the lack of adequate mental health services can have devastating effects
14 both for those suffering from the illness as well as their loved ones and others with whom they
15 come into contact;
16
17 WHEREAS, the City Council believes that increased mental health funding would result
18 in improved access to vitally important mental health services and would greatly benefit not
19 only those suffering from such illnesses but also all residents of the Commonwealth;
20
21 WHEREAS, increased funding could enable same-day access to mental health
22 assessments and needed behavioral health services, more timely access to outpatient
23 psychotherapy services, enhanced crisis intervention services and enhanced peer and family
24 support services, and improved case management and care coordination; and
25
26 WHEREAS, because mental illness may play a role in firearm-related violence, any
27 discussion of measures intended to address firearm-related violence should include a
28 discussion regarding increased funding for treatment of mental illness.
29
30 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
31 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA:
32 That the City Council strongly urges the General Assembly to include in its special
33 session debate the provision of substantially more funding to better meet the mental health
34 needs of the citizens of the Commonwealth.
