COUNCIL MEMBER-AT-LARGE
December 3, 2021
Dear Colleagues:
I know we have a number of substantiative issues that have to resolve and vote on Tuesday,
December 7, 2021. I have communicated to the Council on multiple times I plan to bring forth a
taxpayer dividend item for a vote. I have communicated that intent on social media, and
needless to say it has been widely and favorably been received. There is no doubt that sufficient
sources for an offset exist. However, the delay in getting the final close out of last year's budget
is a barrier. I understand that we voted on the $18 million for off-site improvements for the
Dome site betting on the final results of last year's close out numbers. I appreciate the reasoning
for the former, but I prefer acting in a more deliberate fashion on validated numbers. The attach
drafts pertaining to a taxpayer dividend. When the City Manager is able to transmit the final
close out numbers for the prior fiscal year and opine on the forecasted under execution for the
current fiscal year the attachments will be updated. I just want to provide you as much advanced
notice for an issue that will be placed on the Tuesday, January 18, 20212 agenda for a vote.
The timeline and advanced notice provide more than adequate time for public engagement and
Council discussion. I will be introducing it again on Tuesday with an update on January 5, 2021,
assuming that the City Manager is an able to provide us FY 19-20 budget final close out and
forecasted under execution of our current year budget.
I have posed a number of questions via our staff to the Schools Board/their staff concerning their
Reversion Funding Request and their planned allocation of$100 million in what was at the time
of our joint session an unencumbered amount of Federal Cares Act funding on their books.
This correspondence enables me to communicate my tax dividend proposal for efficiently on
Tuesday and maximizing time for items we have to vote on or decide on the December 7, 2021.
Sincerely,

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend the Calendar Year 2022 Tax Levy on Personal
Property and Machinery and Tools to Provide a "Taxpayer Dividend"
MEETING DATE: [insert date]
• Background: The City has received a request to provide funds to the Virginia
Beach City Public Schools as a "true-up" pursuant to the School Funding Formula. The
amounts requested for the "true-up" represent revenues that over-performed in Fiscal
Year 2020-21. The City Council retains the discretion to provide the requested "true-up"
or the City Council may direct such resources to other uses. The City Council desires to
redirect $13,200,000 of the over-performance to provide additional personal property
tax relief in the form of a "Taxpayer Dividend" for residents' June 2022 personal
property tax bills.
• Considerations: In the annual budget process, the City Council adopts a
personal property tax levy ordinance that includes the application of Personal Property
Tax Relief, Va. Code §§ 58.1-3523, et seq, to vehicle valuations between $1,000 and
$20,000 in the form of a ratio applied to qualifying vehicles. The attached ordinance
amends the Personal Property Tax Relief portion of the Calendar Year 2022 Personal
Property Levy. By directing $13,200,000 of the FY2020-21 over-performance to
increase the amount of tax relief on qualifying vehicles, the portion of the valuation of
qualifying vehicles between $1,000 and $20,000 subject to personal property taxes
would be reduced from 54.5% to 42.9%. For a vehicle valued at $20,000, this would
provide a reduced tax bill from $436 to $343. For a vehicle valued at $10,000, this
would provide a reduced tax bill from $218 to $172.
The Commissioner of the Revenue and the City Treasurer have indicated that the
implementation of this request will not require additional resources for programming
and/or printing. On tax bills, the local tax relief would be bundled with the state tax
relief, so personal property tax bills will have a single line providing the collective tax
relief.
• Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal
Council agenda process.

Subject Title: Revisiting the 2013 Sustainability Plan
Sponsor: Barbara Henley, Councilmember, Princess Anne District #7
The 2013 Community Plan for a Sustainable Future was developed after extensive public
involvement and incorporates a wide range of interests, concerns, and ideas organized across 10
Elements. These 10 Elements address the three pillars of sustainability - economic, social, and
environmental. COVID-19 has impacted and/or underscored the importance of each of these three
pillars.
As we adjust to our new normal, revisiting the 2013 Sustainability Plan provides a needed
opportunity for the community to reconnect around these important and timely topics. The
information gathered from this effort would not only assist with updating the Sustainability Plan, but
the information could be leveraged by other major City efforts such as informing any updates to the
City's Strategic Plan and the relaunching of public engagement for the Comprehensive Plan. After a
pause due to COVID-19, the Comprehensive Plan public input relaunch is scheduled to begin in
January 2022.
Potential key milestones for revisiting and updating the Sustainability Plan are offered below.
Key Milestones:
1. Review and Assess Progress I December 2021 - February 2022. Staff will analyze and
collect data from City agencies regarding the status of the 2013 Sustainability Plan's 105
objectives. Staff will also identify any components that were not represented in the 2013 Plan
that should be considered for inclusion in an updated Sustainability Plan(e.g., flooding).
2. Host Community Conversations I January - February 2022. Facilitators will lead table
discussions around a pre-determined set of questions during three to four community
meetings. Targeted groups include but are not limited to: City Boards and Commissions (all
call), land use groups and neighborhood associations, community organizations, and the
business community.
3. Share Information with City Council I City Council Winter Retreat. Information from
Milestones 1 and 2 would be shared with City Council as part of the winter City Council
Retreat.
4. Update the Sustainability Plan I March - May 2022. The Plan would be updated to
incorporate relevant information as deemed appropriate based on Milestones 1 through 3.
5. Operationalize the Sustainability Plan I June-August 2022. Similar to the City's Strategic
Plan, staff will develop and implement a reporting infrastructure that assigns the Plan's
components to specific owners (owners will be City staff and community stakeholders),
identifies a specific cadence for reporting on progress, and establishes a timeline for periodic
review and updates of the Plan.

AT A GLANCE
A Community Plan for a Sustainable Future (the Plan) is about the place we call Virginia Beach, and how
this place - shaped by a rich past of individualism, personal reliability, personal accountability, and limited
government—can have an equally rich future.The Plan acknowledges that government—at all levels-exists
in large measure to help defend and guarantee individual liberties. Such liberties are well described in our
nation's founding principles and documents. Within the context of community as a whole, individual liber-
ties are protected and enhanced by creating and refining a sense of community that respects individual
liberties while at the same time striving to make progress which helps individuals live rewarding lives. Gov-
ernment thereby has a more refined role of helping to facilitate and create a sense of community while
simultaneously helping defend and guarantee individual liberties.
The Plan is focused around the idea that there are very clear actions and attitudes that will determine how
our community will look and function in the future -and most importantly- how we can live full, rewarding
lives in our community. In short,the Plan suggests that the city- both its government(City)and the larger
community-should be guided by principles that promote action and attitudes that will make Virginia Beach
a stable, resilient, energetic, and attractive place to live, work, and play on an ongoing basis, well into the
future, in a way that is prepared to deal with unforeseen changes. In other words,Virginia Beach can and
will be"a community for a lifetime"-and for lifetimes to come.
This Plan began with extensive public involvement through public input meetings and stakeholder inter-
views. Out of this effort, the comments made during those sessions revealed a wide range of interests,
concerns, and ideas about the future of Virginia Beach. Our community, like sustainability itself, is broad,
diverse, and intricately connected. As a result,this Plan touches on all aspects of sustainability-economic,
social, and environmental.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
Actions and attitudes of today will undoubtedly
shape our future as a city. Our elected officials
are obligated to protect the individual liber-
ties that are granted to all U.S. citizens in the
Declaration of Independence, and in the Con-
SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC stitutions of the United States and the Corn-
Alp monwealth of Virginia. Our lives are optimized
when one's right to freely pursue economic
opportunities, live in healthy surroundings,
and experience social equity are in equilibrium.
SOCIAL p ENVIRONMENTALs The three aspects of sustainability—economic,
environmental, and social — when balanced,
enhance and enrich our individual liberties. This
Me Plan is not intended to infringe upon individual
liberties, nor does it describe a uniform, "cookie
cutter"approach to living,working,and playing
The Triple Bottom Line A Balance in Virginia Beach. Rather, it offers choices and
opportunities for individuals.
Sustainability - by definition - can apply to many aspects of our daily lives. The most accepted definition
of sustainability is to meet our present needs without compromising the needs of future generations.This
Plan, developed by the City government and community of Virginia Beach - its citizens, staff, special inter-
est groups,stakeholders-all of us-serves as a communications tool and,with future iterations,a scorecard
to report on City and community progress towards achieving economic,environmental,and social sustain-
ability. City Council's Envision 204o Committee set the stage for our city's direction,and this Plan is focused
around the vision set forth in the Envision Virginia Beach 204o Committee Report:
"Virginia Beach is the most livable coastal community in the world located within the southern Chesapeake
Bay region, it is defined by its rich natural resources and exciting, diverse, and interconnected neighborhoods.
We are united by our broad social, cultural, and recreational offerings, a thriving regional economy, and life-
long learning opportunities that create a synergy where all citizens can live healthy lives,grow daily,continu-
allyreinvent, and prosper."
The Plan is also intended to help focus City and community efforts to achieve this vision in matters related
to sustainability and to serve as a filter for City government to help decision-makers evaluate actions in
order to better reflect what has been termed a "triple bottom line." Actions that optimally reach a "triple
bottom line"are fine tuned to balance economic, environmental, and social sustainability so that a desired
outcome in one of these three areas of sustainability does not ignore the implications of the other two
areas of sustainability. Optimum sustainability occurs when economic,environmental,and social perspec-
tives not only reach but are designed around principles to maintain this kind of balance. In this way of mak-
ing decisions,alternatives and options to better achieve the"triple bottom line"are vetted through a range
A Community Plan for a Sustainable Future
of actions that might include concepts such as weighing various options,trying to accomplish multiple out-
comes, conserving natural resources, evaluating life cycle costs in purchasing and procurement decisions,
improving public health, and the like.
When a community is focused around achieving a"triple bottom line,"decisions reflect adherence to com-
munity values and principles of economic accountability, environmental protection, and social responsibil-
ity. In other words,the community runs and operates like a fine-tuned machine, and its residents are best
served for the long haul.
The Envision Virginia Beach 2040 Committee Report describes a compelling, challenging yet realistic vision
of the future of Virginia Beach for the community and its citizens and visitors.The document includes six
broad focus areas that further describe our desired future.These six Vision Elements: Connected Commu-
nity, Learning Community, Diverse Community, Unique Environment,Active Lifestyle, and Thriving Econ-
omy, are listed on the next page.To illustrate how this Plan addresses these areas,the sustainability icons
are identified below the zo4o Vision Element.Additional information on the relationship between the Envi-
sion Virginia Beach 2040 Committee Report and this Plan can be found in the Element Tables located in
Appendix B.

(Continued)
Council Member Tower distributed copies of three (3)proposed Ordinances to amend the City's taxation
and provide tax relieffor business licenses and personal property tax for both new businesses and elderly
and disabled persons, attached hereto and made a part of the record. Council Member Tower advised
there is urgency to consider the proposed Ordinance for business licenses during the City Council Meeting
next week, December 14, 2021. Council Member Tower asked Dana Harmeyer, Senior City Attorney, to
explain the timeline.
Mr.Harmeyer advised in order to provide the proposed tax relieffor business licenses for next year, it must
be approved and in place by January ff.
Vice Mayor Wilson advised she would like to have more time and information and welcomed Phil Kellam,
Commissioner of the Revenue, to provide information.
Commissioner Kellam advised Business Licenses go on sale December 15`"and the Business License Rules
Rates must be established by January IS`each year. Commissioner Kellam advised the current threshold
requires businesses earning less than $25,000 to pay $40.00 for a business license and those earning
between$25,000-$100,000 to pay$50.00. The proposal would reduce license fees for businesses earning
less than $25,000 to pay $25.00 and those earning between $25,000 - $300,000 to pay $40.00.
Commissioner Kellam advised the current threshold has not changed in twenty (20)years and there are
21,000 small businesses earning less than $300,000 annually. Commissioner Kellam advised in 2012 the
General Assembly authorized City's to provide property and business license tax exemptions which would
provide $1,600 in tax savings and encourage more small businesses to start their businesses in the City.
Commissioner Kellam advised the larger businesses are doing good, but the small businesses are
struggling, and the list of businesses closing is going up.
Vice Mayor Wilson asked if there was consideration to set the threshold at$200,000 instead$300,000 and
what the budgeting impact would be?
Commissioner Kellam advised he can provide that information but believes the proposal is the way to move
forward.
Vice Mayor Wilson advised the cost of the tax relief is close to$3-Million.
Commissioner Kellam advised the cost for the business license portion is $2.2-Million and noted it will
cover all classes of businesses.
Council Member Rouse advised he supports this and hopes his colleagues will too and believes it is
necessary to find innovative ways to help small businesses.
Council Member Moss advised there is enough revenue growth to offset the cost and believes this should
be done to send the message to small businesses that they are recognized.

ITEM#72273
(Continued)
Council Member Wooten advised she supports the proposed Ordinances and believes it is important to
support anything that helps small businesses and the elderly.
Council Member Branch asked if the proposed Ordinances would have any impact on the Schools
revenue sharing formula?
City Manager Duhaney advised he will find out but noted the offset amount is approximately$2.1-
Million.
Council Member Jones recommended allowing the City Manager review the proposal to determine what
funding source to use to cover the offset cost.
City Manager Duhaney advised, the attachment to the proposal provides information that funding to
cover the offset will come from the General Fund Balance and will affect the Schools budget.
Council Member Berlucchi advised it may be more appropriate to consider this proposal during the
budget process.
Council Member Tower recognized the short amount of time the Body has had to review and expressed
hope the Body will consider the proposal as it sends a good message to taxpayers at a time of year that
many need relief
Commissioner Kellam advised he will make himself available to the Body and City Manager if there are
any questions or concerns between now and next week's City Council meeting.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEMS: (1) An Ordinance to Amend Section 18-5.2 of the City Code Pertaining to
Business License Fees and Taxes and to Provide Revenue Offsets
(2) An Ordinance to Amend the Calendar Year 2022 Tax Levy on Personal
Property and Machinery and Tools to Set the Tax Rate for Tangible Personal
Property of a Business that Qualifies for the Business License Incentive
Program for New Businesses and to Provide Revenue Offsets
(3) An Ordinance to Amend the Calendar Year 2022 Tax Levy on Personal
Property and Machinery and Tools to Set the Tax Rate for Elderly and Disabled
Persons and to Provide Revenue Offsets
MEETING DATE: December 14, 2021
• Background: This item provides updates to the City's taxation by way of
business license taxes and personal property taxes. With regard to business license
taxes, the attached ordinance would increase the gross receipts threshold for
businesses paying a flat amount. Currently, a business with $25,000 or less in gross
receipts would pay $40, and a business with $25,001 to $100,000 would pay $50. The
proposal would provide businesses with $25,000 or less in gross receipts would pay
$25, and a business with $25,001 to $300,000 would pay $40.
With regard to personal property, there are two proposals. First, there would be
personal property tax relief for new businesses. This is a companion program to the
current Business License Incentive Program that the City Council requested in its 2011
Legislative Agenda. For a qualifying business that locates to the City for the first time,
the personal property would be taxed at a rate of $0.00001 per $100 of assessed value.
Second, the current relief provided to elderly and disabled taxpayers reduces the tax
rate from $4.00 to $3.00. The attached ordinance would further reduce the rate to
$0.000001 per $100 of assessed value.
• Considerations: Each of these proposals will require an offset for reduced
revenue. The anticipated revenue offset for the business license program is
$2,180,425. The new business program would require $265,516, and the elderly and
disabled rate update would require $70,616. The proposed source for such offsets is
the fund balance of the General Fund. The rationale for this source is that the FY2021
fiscal year overperformance of each will more than pay for the proposed tax relief.
These items are presented with a January 1 , 2022 effective date. Of particular
sensitivity is the business license ordinance. The Commissioner of the Revenue is
required to begin the license year with a set of parameters, and such parameters will be
in place for the entire calendar year. Having the business license ordinance in place
prior to January 1 will allow the Commissioner to begin issuing licenses as soon as the
calendar year commences.

Vice Mayor 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. Vice Mayor Wilson regularly
makes this disclosure. Her letter of February 20, 2018 is hereby made part of the record.

Vice Mayor 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
identibi 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. Vice Mayor Wilson's letter of June 2, 2015 is hereby made a part of the record.

Dear Chief Brazle:
The Virginia Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad, Inc("VBVRS") is in the process of purchasing two
ambulances for delivery in late 2021 at a cost of$221,366 each.These will be replacing two units, 1428
and 1429, both of which are 2010 models which have been recommended for replacement by the City
Garage.One unit will be partially funded with the$185,000 City grant received earlier this year with the
remainder funded with from existing squad reserves.
We respectfully request a$221,000, 5-year interest-free loan in order to fund the 2nd ambulance.The
ability to use the proceeds of a loan is important as it will avoid an immediate full-cost draw-down of the
investments of both VBVRS and the Virginia Beach Rescue Squad Foundation. It is the earnings on the
Foundation's endowment that fund the Foundation's city-wide recruitment program as well as the
annual grant awards to other rescue squads,Marine Rescue Team and the SAR/Bike team.
VBVRS continues to lead the volunteer EMS system with 147 Operational,52 Admin members and 14
BLS Interns. In addition,the squad responds to approximately one-third of EMS calls and routinely staffs
other stations and lends ambulances to other squads when needed.
Our ambulance committee has worked very hard in developing a best-value specification and has
followed all City guidelines.We intend to continue our prudent replacement program over the coming
years in order to keep our fleet up to date and provide the City with first class assets and service.
Your consideration and assistance with this loan is greatly appreciated. Please feel free to call if you
have any questions for the Squad.
Sincerely,
John Neumayer

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area of the City as being within the Special Economic Growth Area 3 —South
Oceana. Portions of the area are impacted by high noise zones, accident potential zones and Navy restrictive easements.
All proposed land uses in this area must align with the City's AICUZ provisions and Oceana Land Use Conformity
program.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The property is within the Southern Rivers Watershed. Drainage in the Southern Rivers watershed is highly impacted by
the presence of high ground water, poorly draining soils, and high water surface elevations in downstream receiving
waters.There are no known cultural resources on the site.
