Mayor Dyer opened the discussion. City Manager Duhaney advised he will begin with playing an eight(8) minute video, "The Ripple Effect" and then discuss the support documents distributed today including Council Member Moss's proposed Resolution Making Certain Commitments Regarding the Comprehensive Flood Mitigation Bond Referendum (attached hereto and made a part of the record) and conclude with discussing the event outreach schedule. Mr.Duhaney welcomed Julie Hill,Director—Communications and asked that she play the video. Ms.Hill provided a description of the support documents which include a calendar of events,Ripple Effects brochure, draft of the news release prepared for release today, a printed presentation on Ripple Effects and the City Manager's Staff Report dated August 20, 2021. Ms. Hill advised several different methods of communicating information for the Bond Referendum have been prepared to reach several different groups of citizens. Council Member Jones asked how information will be provided to registered voters prior to the start of early voting? Dana R. Harmeyer, Senior City Attorney, advised the statute allows for a five hundred (500) word explanation of the Referendum can be displayed at the voting poll locations. Council Member Jones advised this needs to be viewed like it is a political campaign and one of the effective ways is to get direct mail in every voter's home before early voting begins. Council Member Jones advised the cost of direct mailing is going to be worth doing. Mayor Dyer asked Rod Ingram, Deputy City Attorney, to explain the difference between education and advocacy of the Referendum. Mr. Ingram advised City funds can be used for educational information but cannot be used to urge voters to vote for or against the referendum. Vice Mayor Wood advised he follows social media and is concerned citizens do not understand the importance of the Referendum and asked if City funds can be used to provide the Body with advocacy materials? Mr. Harmeyer advised the statutory limitation states materials or advertisements shall not advocate the passage or defeat of the Referendum question and that would be the standard the City is held to. Mr. Harmeyer explained the Body is free to advocate for the Referendum in their individual capacity however, the concern will be how staff and the collective activity interacts. August 24, 2021 41 CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION/INITIATIVES FLOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM—BOND REFERENDUM (Continued) Council Member Wilson advised the video was very good but is concerned that it may be too long and asked if there will be shorter videos prepared too? Ms. Hill advised she can create shorter videos if the Body requests. Council Member Wilson asked if there is an opportunity for free public service announcements? Council Member Henley advised there have been Referendums before but none that compare to the amount of the Bond Referendum and is concerned citizens will not vote in favor of it without having more information. Council Member Henley advised the Body has not made decisions on issues such as how much the tax increase will be, how it will be financed and how the projects will be managed. Council Member Henley emphasized the importance of the Body making decisions on those issues and referenced the Citizen Oversight Committees established for previous projects to provide expenditure and project status updates to keep the public informed. Council Member Henley advised this Referendum is going to be as much about the trust citizens have in the Body's ability to perform as it is in the need of these projects and does not believe Council Members should talk to citizens until decisions on the issues she mentioned are decided on. Mayor Dyer believes in approaching this in two (2)phases, the first providing information on "why this needs to be done"and followed with information on "how". Mayor Dyer advised Council Member Moss provided the draft Resolution and asked if the Body had any comments, attached hereto and made a part of the record. Council Member Wilson expressed her support. Council Member Henley advised she would like to have more time to review it. Mayor Dyer requested Mr.Harmeyer to fill in the areas marked in red and then provide an updated version to the Body in Friday's City Council package. Council Member Rouse advised he is unclear on what the line is between advocating and educating and would like to have information in his Friday Package to help him ensure he is not violating any statutes. Mr.Ingram advised the items provided to the Body today are educational and the Body can use those items to advocate for the Referendum. Council Member Henley expressed concern that the proposed Resolution has questions listed at the end which have not been answered and require a lot of logistics regarding the execution of projects and who will manage them. Council Member Henley advised these types of decisions need to be made and is concerned how this will be managed since current projects are not being completed on time. Mayor Dyer expressed his confidence in the City Manager and staff to provide the necessary plans. August 24, 2021 42 CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION/INITIATIVES Mayor Dyer asked the Body if there were any other initiatives they would like to discuss. Council Member Wilson advised the number of positive COVID-19 cases are increasing and recommended social distancing at the dais again. Council Member Jones advised the inoculation process went really well and asked if a similar process will be used to give booster shots? City Manager Duhaney advised he is working with the state to determine what role the City will have however, at this time the general consensus is that a mass vaccination for booster shots will not be necessary since the vaccines are widely available at several distribution locations. Mayor Dyer believes there is enough availability of vaccines now that it should be easier for people to receive booster shots through their doctor's office or pharmacy. Mayor Dyer further advised, a lot of information has come out since last year regarding safe practices and some of the recommendations were deemed not effective such as masks and social distancing of three (3)feet would have been adequate but expressed his understanding of some Council Members being vulnerable and is agreeable if the Body feels it would be beneficial. Council Member Berlucchi advised he has no objections to social distancing but would like clarity on what the metrics were in deciding implementing and ending social distancing requirements. Mayor Dyer advised his understanding is that the Delta variant is more contagious but far less lethal and those who have been vaccinated have less incidences. Council Member Henley advised she has not heard that masks are not effective and expressed she is nervous with what she is hearing. Council Member Holcomb recommended contacting Occupational Health to have plastic shields installed between each seat at the dais. Council Member Rouse advised Howard University is the recipient of a significant research grant to study the impact of Short Term Rentals (STR) on the hospitality industry and invited him to participate on the panel and provide input on setting policy, execution and implementation. Council Member Rouse advised he plans to participate and has asked City Manager Duhaney to join him. Council Member Wilson asked Mayor Dyer is he would like to discuss the proposed timeline for filling the Lynnhaven District seat, attached hereto and made a part of the record. Mayor Dyer advised the conditions will be the same as when the Body recently filled the Kempsville District seat with having forty-five(45)days to appoint a new Council Member from the date of Vice Mayor Wood's letter of resignation. August 24, 2021 43 CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION/INITIATIVES (Continued) Mr.Ingram advised the forty-five(45)day mark from September Is`will be on October 16t, however, since that is a Saturday, the law allows the deadline to extend to the next business day which will be Monday, October 18t. Council Member Rouse advised he wanted to take a moment to express his appreciation to Vice Mayor Wood for his help since he was elected and helping him understand the budget process. Council Member Rouse expressed his fondest memory is of the speech Vice Mayor Wood gave after the City's darkest day on May 31 S`at the church which he will never forget. Mayor Dyer, by consensus of the Body, directed moving forward with the proposed timeline and advised during the September 7th Formal Session, the Body will appoint a new Vice Mayor to fill the unexpired term of Vice Mayor Wood. August 24, 2021 A RESOLUTION MAKING CERTAIN COMMITMENTS REGARDING THE COMPREHENSIVE FLOOD MITIGATION BOND REFERENDUM WHEREAS, changing weather patterns and sea level rise as validated by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA 2020), the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Dewberry Study have demonstrated that the in-place drainage capacity, even in like new condition is: (i) severely inadequate to protect the city from structures being flooded on a city-wide basis; (ii) insufficient to preclude the future downgrade of the City's bond rating based on economic loss of even single one-hundred- year flooding event and recovery time; and (iii) the path to stagnant economic growth as investors pass us by; WHEREAS, the Dewberry Study and the City's modeling of four watersheds and x drainage systems have validated the drainage capacity required to discharge the water of a one-year storm event (insert the definition) to prevent flooding of homes and businesses accounting for 1.5 feet of sea level rise and a high tide of A feet over mean average high ti(i( o WHEREAS, the City staff has sufficiently scoped out the engineering material solution for a referendum quality cost estimate for eliminating the backlog in maintenance of legacy ponds, ditches, and canals and the installation of 21 named projects on the bond referendum question; WHEREAS, at the end of the ten-year period in 2032, XX percent of the City will qualify for preferred FEMA flood insurance risk; WHEREAS, at the ten-year build out, Phase Two will commence to achieve Virginia Beach high and dry in 2045; WHEREAS, meeting the existential threat of flooding will improve the quality of life for residents, and a competitive advantage for a growing economy will be sustained; and WHEREAS, the City Council previously directed the City Manager to create a dedicated webpage on the City's website that includes each of the Phase 1 projects and the progress — by dollar amount spent and by milestone achieved —toward completion of such projects and to provide quarterly reports to the City Council providing updates regarding the execution of the projects if the referendum question is answered in the affirmative; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA, THAT: The City Council urges the residents to carefully consider the issue of flood mitigation and plan to vote in November. To assist in the residents' deliberations, the City Council makes the following commitments, which with the exception of #4, will be delivered within three weeks if the residents approve the referendum question in November: 1. The City Council will adopt a comprehensive financial plan to pay for the authorized $567,500,000 of general obligation debt, which will include the following: a. The authorized debt to be repaid by a real estate tax increase of cents based on an average increase of percent in the City's taxable real estate based on the 1 July 2021 land book. b. The financial plan shall create a single appropriation unit into which all bond proceeds are deposited and a single appropriation unit into which all revenue derived from the increase in real estate taxes are deposited. Such fund shall provide all deposit and withdrawal information with sufficient granularity for oversight by the City Council and the Citizen Oversight Board. c. In furtherance of the long-term flood mitigation needs of the City, the general obligation bonding capacity created by the retirement of the debt authorized by the November 2021 referendum shall be reserved exclusively for the issuance of bonds to finance Phase 2 of the City's flood mitigation program and subsequent sea level rise projects. 2. The establishment of a Citizen Oversight Board composed of seven members that shall have access to all financial, contract documents, acceptance and deliverable testing and certifications documentation, and shall receive a monthly briefing from the City Manager, Quality Assurance Officer, and the Contractor's program manager and quality assurance officer and shall give a public brief to the City Council every two months. 3. An amendment to the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan that will recommend denial for any project or development that generates a net increase in water discharge demand in any watershed or in any drainage system in watershed over the capacity of net of margin to meet the modeled discharge baseline of the drainage system at build-out, and further requiring the Planning Department to recommend denial of any submission that does not conform to the former. 4. The City Manager is to develop and present to the City Council an acquisition strategy that seeks a single contractor for the delivery of the twenty-one flood mitigation projects. The City Manager is to also acquire a separate contractor bonded to conduct quality assurance and recommend deliverable acceptance. 5. The City Attorney shall prepare an ordinance that freezes the Stormwater management fee through 2028. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, THAT: The City Council is in agreement that the following reflects the course of action to be pursued if the November referendum is answered in the negative: 1 . The City will prioritize funding to eliminate the backlog in the maintenance of ponds, ditches, and canals and sustaining the required maintenance cycles; 2. The City will continue the planned increases in the Stormwater management fee and issuance of revenue bonds for stormwater projects, such fees to be increased as necessary to support the authorized projects and additional bond costs associating with revenue bonds; 3. While flood risk remains, the Phase 1 projects will be pursued over the following twenty-five years, and the perils and risks associated with this timeline include severe weather events, increased flood insurance premiums, companies locating and relocating elsewhere, potential reduction in the City's bond rating, and home values adjusted to reflect the cost of flood insurance; 4. The work associated with the Phase 1 projects will increase over time as cost of construction increases, and the borrowing costs may not be as favorable as today; and 5. Rainfall events will continue to happen during the longer twenty-five-year delivery schedule for the Phase 1 projects with the probable outcome of flooding to homes and businesses.
