Wooten Council Members Absent: Mayor Robert M. Dyer - Family Issue INVOCATION: Council Member Jones 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 34`h 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. June 15, 2021 20 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 identifi,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 City is also defending litigation in federal court that challenges the election system. At this point in the legal case, the court has ruled that the City's system violates the federal Voting Rights Act and has instructed the City and the plaintiffs to propose a new system to remedy the violation. The City is pursuing an appeal of the court's decision. However, the City must also prepare to participate in the remedy phase of the case,and we are asking you to provide us with your thoughts on which one of two systems the City should submit to the court for consideration. In either case, the current At-Large system of election would be replaced by a Ward System where City Council candidates would be required to live in designated Wards or Super Wards and would be elected only by the registered voters in those Wards of Super Wards. The City can either propose a 10-District Ward system or a 7-3-1 Ward/Super Ward system that has seven Ward districts and three Super Wards. In either system, the Mayor would continue to be elected At-Large. With that framing of our discussion tonight, we invite the first speaker to the podium. Each speaker, whether speaking individually or on behalf of a group, will have three minutes to speak." Vice Mayor Wood requested City Attorney Stiles provide more information on the public notice that was sent out for this Public Comment. Attorney Stiles advised there have been questions concerning the timing of the receipt of the yellow post card which provided information on the election system topic for the June IS`briefing,June 8`h briefing and tonight's Public Comment. Attorney Stiles acknowledged the mailing was sent out very late and wanted to take this time to explain the circumstances. City Council directed the mailing of the post card to provide the public as much information as possible during a briefing provided by the City Attorney's Office on May 11`''. During the briefing, it was discussed that there may be a settlement in the litigation case, however, the settlement did not come to fruition until May 25h. Attorney Stiles advised on May 26th,final changes to the content for the post card were made and then sent to the U.S. Postal Service to be distributed. Attorney Stiles advised it was understood at that time the post card could take between seven (7) and ten (10) days to be delivered, unfortunately, through no fault of the City, the mailings took over two (2) weeks to be delivered. Attorney Stiles advised he received additional feedback concerning the link provided on the post card was not operable depending on the type of browser used;for those who used a browser which did not automatically insert "www.", in the search bar with the link, received a message that the page could not be found. Attorney Stiles apologized to the Body and Public and expressed his hope that people will understand the circumstances better and know it was unintentional.

Purpose and intent; findings. 19 20 (a) Purpose and intent. The purpose and intent of this part B of Article 2 is to regulate 21 the size, number, color, illumination, movement, materials, location, height, condition 22 and other physical characteristics, but not the content, of signs, thus promoting the 23 protection of property values, the character of the various neighborhoods within the 24 city, the creation ana maintenance of a convenient, attractive and harmonious 25 community and the safety and welfare of pedestrians and wheeled traffic, in a manner 26 consistent with the constitutional guarantee of free speech. These regulations 27 attempt to achieve the proper balance among the commercial needs of businesses, 28 the needs of residents and visitors to be able to locate a business and find a desired 29 product, the rights of persons to exercise their First Amendment rights and the need 30 to create and preserve a visual environment that is conducive to the public health, 31 safety and welfare. 32 33 (b) Findings. The city council finds that: 34 35 (1) Signs have a strong visual impact on the character and quality of a community. 36 They are an integral part of the cityscape and, as such, can enhance or detract 37 from the city's image and character. As a prominent part of the cityscape, they 38 can attract or repel the viewer, affect the safety of pedestrian and vehicular 39 traffic. Their suitability or appropriateness helps to define the way in which a 40 community is perceived; 41 (2) The appearance of a community is an important factor in its economic well- 42 being, as aesthetic considerations influence economic value. Communities in 43 which signage is orderly and attractive and adequately serves the needs of 44 businesses are generally perceived as orderly and attractive; 1 45 (3) The primary function of a commercial sign is to provide identification for a 46 business. By helping consumers recognize that they have arrived at their 47 intended destination or by triggering an impulse to make a purchase, signs help 48 facilitate consumer transactions that allow businesses to be successful. 49 Successful businesses make for vital local economies and a stable tax base; 50 and 51 (4) As the United States Supreme Court has noted, signs "take up space and may 52 obstruct views, distract motorists, displace alternative uses for land, and pose 53 other problems that legitimately call for regulation." It is therefore important that 54 the city regulate signage in a manner that minimizes the adverse impacts of 55 signage while at the same time allowing signs to perform their primary functions. 56 57 Sec. 210.01.
