Berlucchi, Mayor Robert M. Dyer, Barbara M. Henley, Louis R.Jones,Aaron Rouse, Guy K. Tower, Vice Mayor James L. Wood and Sabrina D. Wooten Council Members Absent: Jessica P.Abbott—Arrived at 3:54 P.M. John D. Moss—Arrived at 4:30 P.M Rosemary Wilson—Arrived at 2:04 P.M 2 ADD ON PUBLIC SAFETY UPDATE 2:02 P.M. Mayor Dyer read the following statement regarding the investigation into the recent shooting at the oceanfront: "City Manager Duhaney and Chief Neudigate have received inquiries from individual Council members and others about various aspects of the investigations into the tragic events that occurred on the night of March 26, 2021.DeShayla Harris and Donovan Lynch were killed and others were injured in three separate incidents that happened all within minutes. Understandably, people have questions. With investigations ongoing, Commonwealth's Attorney Colin Stolle reminded us in the letter he sent us earlier today of our collective responsibilities to make sure nothing jeopardizes the investigatory processes. This applies both to the investigation the Virginia Beach Police are doing into the shooting death of DeShayla Harris and the investigation the Virginia State Police is conducting at the request of Chief Neudigate into the officer involved shooting that resulted in the death of Donovan Lynch. However, when we do have updates, we want to make sure the information is shared with the entire body as well as the public. I'm going to turn this over to City Manager Patrick Duhaney, who will provide a briefing on the status of potential funding items and of action steps being considered in addressing broader public safety concerns." Mayor Dyer turned the briefing over to City Manager Duhaney who read the following statement and provided a draft ordinance, attached hereto and made a part of the record. "Thank you,Mr.Mayor and Members of Council.I have two specific topic areas to briefly cover with you this afternoon. Chief Neudigate is also here to field any questions you may have. The first is to review a resolution we drafted at the request of Vice Mayor Wood and Council Member Henley to bring forward items that can be considered for immediate funding rather than waiting for the new fiscal year. The second is to provide you with an overview of steps Chief Neudigate and I will be taking to augment the City's public safety approach. And the third item highlights some initiatives we believe are necessary for reimagining public safety and creating community-based coalitions for solving problems and addressing the broad range of concerns we and other communities around the country are facing. Review of Draft Resolution We appreciate Council's consideration of accelerating the purchase and implementation of several technological and organizational solutions that will augment current efforts. While some of the items are unique to the oceanfront area, others have citywide benefits. • Gunshot detection system that triangulates and locates the source of gunshots within a 3 sq mile area • Purchase and use Brass Trax, which will provide the Police Department with quick access to a national ballistic information database • Oceanfront camera expansion—to purchase and install another 42 cameras April 13, 2021 3 ADD ON PUBLIC SAFETY UPDATE (Continued) • Safety lighting—to purchase up to 13 mobile and temporary lighting units • A staffing and operational efficiency assessment—to provide an outside professional assessment of the Virginia Beach Police Department's staffing and review areas for operational efficiency. The second item concerns steps ChiefNeudigate and I will undertake to enhance the City's commitment to continuous improvement. • Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design evaluation/assessment to identify factors in the built environment of the oceanfront that we can change to increase safety and security • BWCs-As you know, we have yet to achieve full deployment of the body worn cameras and while we thought we had a workable solution for the signal sidearm functionality, our early testing of the new technology using the mounting hardware we received from the manufacturer has been disappointing. The third item recognizes that issues of crime prevention and perceptions of safety are not the purview of local government and the police alone. It also acknowledges that we have a lot of work still to do to address the fundamental issues of racism, equity, social justice, and violence that pervades our society. I am incredibly proud of the men and women of the Virginia Beach Police Department. They are dedicated to serving this community during some of the most difficult circumstances and as the entire world grapples with complex societal issues. For us to make meaningful progress, members of our community must play key roles and we must come together to explore what we can do, collectively, to make our city not only safe but to bridge the divides. Community Relations • The Police Department has taken a number of steps to build relationships with the residents they serve. A few examples: the department routinely conducts surveys in neighborhoods by going door-to-door to solicit input and hear concerns. The department has decentralized the community engagement unit to create the capacity is in each district and established an oceanfront community liaison team. We can build on this kind of work to further develop good working relationships • ChiefNeudigate is establishing an Advisory Group • We agree with others who have called for community dialogues because the issues we face involve more than just the City organization • This is, in part, why the mayors in the region are advocating for a regional approach None of these are quick, easy fixes, and we know City government is not the only player in the equation. We are committed to improving safety, trust and confidence and look forward to engaging members of our community to help achieve those ends. I am happy to answer any questions you have and will stand by for your comments." April 13, 2021 4 ADD ON PUBLIC SAFETY UPDATE (Continued) Vice Mayor Wood summarized his proposal letter to create a compensation adjustment to attract new police officers including retention incentives for police experienced officers and requested the Body's support for immediate action, attached hereto and made a part of the record. Mayor Dyer advised there is a consensus among the Body to make improvements and it will include embracing the community through public engagements. Upon gaining consensus of the Body,Mayor Dyer requested City Manager Duhaney to research the impacts of Vice Mayor Wood's proposal and provide feedback once completed.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM �/ ITEM: An Ordinance to Establish Two Capital Projects and to Transfer $1,870,000 to Support Police Initiatives MEETING DATE: April 20, 2021 ■ Background: On March 26, 2021, several acts of violence occurred at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. The City of Virginia Beach has always held the safety of the public as a top priority. The City Manager's Proposed FY 2021-22 Operating Budget and CIP included additional public safety initiatives with several additional considerations provided to City Council during the Police Department's Operating Budget presentation. Due to the recent events at the Oceanfront, it is apparent that immediate action is needed to improve the overall safety within the Resort Area before the start of the new fiscal year. City Council has established a "Special Pandemic Relief and Vaccine Support Reserve" (the "Reserve"). The Reserve includes local funding that resulted from the reimbursement of public safety salaries from the Coronavirus aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The Reserve allows the City Council to be flexible in the use of funding to meet emerging needs and policy priorities. • Considerations: To immediately begin addressing safety concerns and needs within the Resort Area, the attached ordinance establishes two capital projects and transfers a total of$1,870,000 from the Reserve for the following: o Expansion of Oceanfront Camera system- $1,200,000 for the purchase and installation of additional cameras. This amount combined with the additional $300,000 proposed in the City Manager's FY 2021-22 CIP will provide an additional 42 cameras throughout the Resort Area. o Purchase and access of BrassTRAX System- $233,000 which will include implementation and 5 years of licensing cost. This system will provide the Police Department with quick access to a national ballistic information database and enhance investigative efforts. o Gunshot Detection System- $240,000 to purchase and deploy a system to quickly identify and triangulate gunshots within a 3 sq. mile area. Establishment of a capital project for this initiative will provide the opportunity for expansion in future years. o Staffing plan and police structure assessment- $80,000 for a consultant to provide a comprehensive assessment and examine the City's police officer deployments, staffing standards, service response, and crime data. The study will provide recommendations for areas for improvements in the Police Department's organizational structure and for the best use of law enforcement personnel. o Safety Lighting- $117,000 for the purchase of up to 13 mobile and temporary lighting units. These units will provide the flexibility for the Police Department to work with the resort community to identify and address areas with safety concerns. This is a small part of a larger effort to assess the Oceanfront and provide Comprehensive Crime Prevention through Environmental Design. a Public Information: Normal Council Agenda process. ■ Recommendations: Adopt the attached ordinance. ■ Alternatives: Alternative funding for the requested initiatives could be provided through the use of salary savings. ■ Attachments: Ordinance Recommended Action: Approval Submitting Department/Agency: Police Department City Manager: 1 AN ORDINANCE TO ESTABLISH TWO CAPITAL 2 PROJECTS AND TO TRANSFER $1,870,000 TO SUPPORT 3 POLICE INITIATIVES 4 5 WHEREAS, the City of Virginia Beach recognizes that there are additional City 6 operations and initiatives that will provide for the immediate public safety, public health, 7 and economic well-being of the citizens of the City; 8 9 WHEREAS, the City Council established a City Council Special Pandemic Relief 10 and Vaccine Support Reserve on February 2, 2021 for priority City Council initiatives; and 11 12 WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Virginia Beach hereby declares the 13 enhancement of the public safety of all citizens to be the most pressing priority of the City 14 of Virginia Beach; 15 16 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY 17 OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA, THAT: 18 19 1.

This is reflected in both in recruiting new officers and in retaining experienced ones. The City Manager provided us data indicating a nearly 11% turnover rate in the police department while the Police Chief has requested additional staffing beyond the current authorized strength. We must act now and create a meaningful compensation adjustment that will make us more competitive in the attraction of new officers and provide an incentive for our experienced officers to remain. My proposal is as follows: 1. Maintain the city manager's suggested citywide salary increase 2. Make a 5.5% structural adjustment across police, fire, EMS and sheriff 3. Within the police department, reinstitute college incentive pay that was eliminated in the 1990s Associate's degree 1.5%of base salary Bachelor's degree 2% of base salary Master's and higher degree 2.5%of base salary Because these amounts are added to the base salary as a percentage, this would be a pensionable. 208 ASH AVENUE,SUITE#101,VIRGINIA BEACH,VIRGINIA 23452 4. Within the police department, create a longevity incentive 3 —5 years of service .75%of base salary 6—9 years of service _ - 1%of base salary 10— 14 years of service 1.25%of base salary 15— 19 years of service 1.5%of base salary 20+years of service 1.75%of base salary Again, these amounts would be percentage increases to the base salary and would be reflected in retirement calculations. There are quite a few other enticements that go beyond salary increases and the culture of the workplace must be as attractive as the pay rate. I have discussed and suggested other administrative recruitment and retention incentives with the City Manager and the Police Chief, such as added flex days, free recreation center membership, and uniform maintenance allowance. As these incentives do not require the approval of Council, I am certain that the Manager and Chief will develop an appropriate menu of options that is attractive to new and existing employees. Improving benefits to police officers is an important step, but we also need to make sure that the department's culture reflects the community's values as well as the citizens' need for information on critical incidents. I am asking that the City Manager and City Attorney work with the Commonwealth's Attorney to craft a strategy where information, such as body-worn camera footage, dispatch transcripts, 911 calls and other similar material can be publicly released. Obviously, we cannot jeopardize prosecution of criminal cases, but many major cities provide these critical incident reports to the citizens without hindering the criminal justice process. These reports are often videos in which the localities can explain police tactics, the function of recording devices, less-lethal weapons and other police equipment and explain policies. The typically do not draw conclusions but provide a clear view of what occurred. I ask all Council Members to join me in supporting this new compensation plan and ask that the Manager provide a suggested funding mechanism. Our core responsibility is the safety of our citizens and visitors and success in this area is a key part of economic success in our community. Sincerely, 4 ici?41 Jim Wood.

Council Member Berlucchi advised he was recently contacted by a group of citizens who play cricket, who expressed their interest in working with the City to have a place to play the sport and host tournaments. Council Member Berlucchi advised the group has been unsuccessful in finding a location and believes it is important to support recreational needs for all cultures in the City. Council Member Berlucchi requested City Departments assist him in providing a place to play the sport. Council Member Henley recommended creating the reconciliation list now and adding prioritized funding items to it as the Body discusses issues rather than waiting until the end of the process. Council Member Henley expressed her appreciation for the list of items Chief Neudigate presented last week and recommended purchasing them now as there is funding in the current budget. Council Member Henley advised the needs within public safety are important to her and supports Vice Mayor Wood's proposal to improve staffing and compensation for police officers. Council Member Henley added the public safety issues she would like to provide continual support for include establishing the real-time crime center while Building 2 is under construction, re-defining/categorizing emergency 911 call staff as first responders, juvenile court and mental health support for those incarcerated. Council Member Henley referenced the 21' Century Policing document, recognizing the six (6) pillars and requested the body consider the recommendations as provided. Council Member Moss advised he has reviewed the budget proposal and believes the economy will outperform to allow for the adoption of the default lowered tax rate. Council Member Moss advised the proposal identifies $5.9 Million for public safety, advising public safety is more than just the uniformed officers and should be considered in a holistic spectrum and basing funding decisions on data that will make a difference. Council Member Moss requested to have the list of recommendation before May 6`h. April 13, 2021 52 ADJOURNMENT Mayor Robert M. Dyer DECLARED the City Council Meeting ADJOURNED at 6:13 P.M.
