Dyer called to order the CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP in the City Council Chamber City Hall, on Tuesday, March 22, 2022, at 2:00 P.M Council Members Present: Michael F. Berlucchi, Linwood O. Branch, Mayor Robert M. Dyer, Barbara M. Henley, N. D. "Rocky"Holcomb, Louis R. Jones, Aaron R. Rouse, Guy K. Tower, Vice Mayor Rosemary Wilson and Sabrina D. Wooten Council Members Absent: John D. Moss—Arrived at 3:08 P.M 2 CITY COUNCIL'S BRIEFINGS URBAN RENEWAL CENTER IMPACT YOUTH SUMMER CAMP 2:01 P.M. Mayor Dyer welcomed Dr.Antipas L. Harris. Dr. Harris expressed his appreciation to City Council for their support and provided the following presentation: "The Office of Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention points to several studies,for example by Melissa Menzer, James S. Catteral, Susan A. Dumais, Gillian Hampden-Thompson and others, that prove that "arts have a positive impact on youth development,from birth through adolescence years."Also, "engaging in various arts activities (such as singing, dancing,play acting, and doing crafts) at a young age is associated with positive social and emotional behaviors, including empathy, sharing, and mood control." With full understanding that some of the families who would love to support their children through the arts do not have the resources, the URC is requesting public financial resources from the City of Virginia Beach so financially strapped parents will not need to pay for children to get involved in IYAP.For up to 50 children to enroll in 3 cycles of 15-week cohorts, the URC needs $50K We are asking Virginia Beach City Council to support the children with a $25K public grant. We will seek private resources for the remaining financial need. Besides supporting youth in their social and emotional development, post-COVID mood control, and academic performance, we want to be part of the City's efforts to preserve the vibrancy of the arts in Virginia Beach. An investment in the children will assist this mission. The classes will include Hip Hop Dance Techniques, Jazz Dance Concepts, *Ballet and Modern Dance (*starting in June), Theatre and Acting, and Boat Design and Crafting. The classes will be taught by top-notch Hampton Roads instructors. Norfolk Academy's Elbert Watson provides ballet and modern dance instruction; Virginia Beach's Baila Fuzion Dance & Creative Arts Center provides the Hip Hop and Jazz dance lessons;former actress Tiffany Williams leads the theater program; and Tidewater Wooden Boat provides boat design and building instruction. Each course is 15 weeks." Mayor Dyer expressed his appreciation to Dr. Harris for the presentation. March 22, 2022 3 CITY COUNCIL'S BRIEFINGS VIRGINIA WESLEYAN JOB TRAINING PROGRAM 2:23 P.M. Mayor Dyer welcomed Dr. Scott D. Miller, President. Dr. Miller expressed his appreciation to City Council for their support and provided the following presentation: Virginia Beach City Council Workforce Development Presentation March 22,2022 "Good afternoon and thank you for having me. Virginia Wesleyan University is proud to be the oldest university in Virginia Beach. As a matter of fact, we are one of only two non-profit universities claiming Virginia Beach as our home. Starting in March 2020 and continuing through the darkest times of the pandemic, Virginia Wesleyan attracted a good bit of media attention for our non-credit programs offered through VWU Global Campus. These courses and programs were directed at helping people negatively impacted by the pandemic—furloughed, laid off, and retrenched. I thank the City of Virginia Beach, City Manager Patrick Duhaney, Deputy City Manager/Director of Economic Development Taylor Adams, and the Hampton Roads Workforce Council for their wisdom,foresight and partnership that has benefited so many. Before I comment on this program,please allow me to take a moment to express gratitude on a different front. Last week, I attended a gathering of business leaders for the Board of Directors planning retreat for Virginia Beach Vision. Last night, I attended a gathering of about 30 business leaders at Aldo's. At both meetings I heard tremendous appreciation for the good work of our City Manager and his Deputy City Manager at creating a new, more user friendliness in city services. Having completed 31 construction projects at our campus during the past six years, I have observed some of the obstacles and frustrations of the past,so I have a special appreciation for the spirit of cooperation they have brought to their roles. Patrick and Taylor have brought a freshness to operations that is very much needed and appreciated by the business community--and on behalf of that community, I say thank you. Two weeks ago, as Virginia Wesleyan University brought two construction projects to a close, I received an unsolicited call from a city department head asking for input on the city's role in both projects.After a good, constructive conversation, I asked what prompted the call. He cited the new philosophy of user friendliness espoused by both Patrick and Taylor. March 22, 2022 4 CITY COUNCIL'S BRIEFINGS VIRGINIA WESLEYAN JOB TRAINING PROGRAM (Continued) So,Patrick and Taylor...I thank you...we thank you. I hope this spirit of cooperation permeates all areas and services. Now, back to the topic at hand... The Virginia Beach Economic Development/ Virginia Wesleyan workforce development program offers courses online, in person, on site at area businesses, and at The Hive in Town Center. Since March of 2020, over 9,300 learners have registered for these non-credit courses — with 2,411 completions and certificates. 72 percent of registrants — that's 6,696— list Virginia Beach as their home. The online offerings become particularly attractive during the period of the Governor's stay-at-home order in 2020. The impact of these courses cannot be overstated. Offered free of charge for learners, these courses provided community members a way to learn new skills or advance existing skills in the face of unemployment due to the pandemic.Among the most popular ones were courses on cover letter and resume writing, personal finance, administrative assistant fundamentals, creating webpages, intro to Excel, and the like. For many leaners, it was a way to remain professionally relevant during a very challenging time. These courses allowed our greater community not only a risk free way to garner new skills, but to come out of the pandemic stronger and more resilient. Those that completed online courses were offered additional online training in the same or corresponding track as the workforce development course, demonstrating VWU's commitment to lifelong learning and continuing education for the region's workforce and beyond. An offshoot of the early success of the program has been the addition of corporate trainings and workforce development programs with a menu of options to area businesses. An important part of our partnership has been our ability to use The Hive in Town Center. We are proud to host the spring student-designed and led Marlin Business Conference Opening Session at The Hive on April 11. We will welcome Jon Pruden, CEO of Taste, as the keynote speaker that evening. Other conference speakers include Delceno Miles, President and CEO of The Miles Agency; Priscilla Monti, Senior Vice President for Programs and Communications for the Hampton Roads Chamber; and Linda Peck, Executive Director of the Greater Norfolk Corporation. The Hive also boasts Virginia Wesleyan University interns who helps with the daily operations of the facility and special events. March 22, 2022 5 CITY COUNCIL'S BRIEFINGS VIRGINIA WESLEYAN JOB TRAINING PROGRAM (Continued) The workforce development program has attracted the attention of Senators Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, who supplemented the City funding with a joint request of$800,000 to support a COVID-19 Displaced Worker Initiative for people who have been laid off,furloughed, or have lost their jobs.I'm proud to share that the funding has been approved in the 2022 budget. This program was one of only two projects statewide requested and endorsed by Senators Kaine and Warner. With me today is Larry Belcher, Director of Enrollment for VWU Global Campus, which includes non-credit courses, lifelong learning, and our joint campus in Japan. Again, my special thanks to the City of Virginia Beach for supporting this program and allowing me to speak today. We look forward to continuing our partnership to create a resilient and future-oriented workforce in Coastal Virginia. Before I close, are there any questions for me?" Mayor Dyer expressed his appreciation to Dr. Miller for the presentation. March 22, 2022 6 CITY COUNCIL'S BRIEFINGS RESORT AREA SPRING/SUMMER CAMPAIGN 2:40 P.M. Mayor Dyer welcomed Nancy Helman, Director. Ms. Helman her appreciation to City Council for their continued support and distributed a copy of today's presentation, attached hereto and made a part of the record. Mayor Dyer expressed his appreciation to Ms. Helman for the presentation.

WHERE WE ARE GOING Spring and Summer is where we all really shine. Much of our offering is created by and for the families of our community - the ones who call Virginia Beach home. It's this fact that has inspired our campaign evolution. We've worked hard to convey how open our community is. This season, it's not just about who we are.

Moss ouncilmember JDM/RRI 4109 RICHARDSON ROAD,VIRGINIA BEACH,VIRGINIA 23455 33 CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION/INITIATIVES/COMMENTS CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS& GOVERNANCE POLICIES 4:19 P.M. Mayor Dyer opened the discussion and advised there are two (2) proposed City Council Policies for discussion, attached hereto and made a part of the record. Vice Mayor Wilson read, "Councilmember Communications to All City Employees", regarding communications sent to all City employees using City resources. Vice Mayor Wilson advised the policy was drafted after the topic was discussed during the recent City Council Retreat. Mayor Dyer advised as the Body changes, the information sent should be reviewed for accuracy and avoid accusations of electioneering, solicitation or something similar. Council Member Jones advised the key words are, "City resources"and asked for clarification. Mayor Dyer advised it primarily pertains to email communications from Council Members to "all employees". Council Member Moss suggested including language for sending communications within 60 days of an election, adding even if the email is sent from a personal computer, it is going through the City's infrastructure. Council Member Berlucchi advised he supports this policy and believes it is important to not only prevent the perception of electioneering but also to ensure any messages that are sent to approximately 7,000 City employees, are sent from the Mayor on behalf of the collective Body. Council Member Berlucchi suggested the policy include official City social media platforms to prevent a conflict such as a Council Member asking City staff to post a message for them without a consensus from City Council. Mayor Dyer advised this policy would not apply to Council Members who post information on their personal social media accounts. Council Member Wooten asked what issue led to this request? Mayor Dyer advised this policy was drafted as a preemptive measure to prevent Council Members asking City staff to send out personal messages for them to all City employees which would be inappropriate. Council Member Wooten advised it does not make sense to her to have this policy if nothing has happened before and asked if this policy would apply to the Mayor too? Mayor Dyer advised the Mayor acting in an official capacity has the discretion to send out communications and the Body always receives a copy of the communication that is sent. March 22, 2022 34 CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION/INITIATIVES/COMMENTS CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS& GOVERNANCE POLICIES (Continued) Council Member Berlucchi responded to Council Member Wooten's question, advising there was a Council Member who was having staff send out personal emails on their behalf to all City employees and he received several complaints from staff. Council Member Berlucchi believes the messages were well intentioned such as wishing everyone happy holidays and in remembrance of 5/31; however, it risks putting other Council Members in an uncomfortable position because it gives the perception to City staff that one Council Member cares more than another. Council Member Berlucchi further believes staff should not be subjected to eleven Council Members requesting staff send emails for them. Council Member Berlucchi advised the best practice is to have the Mayor send official correspondence on behalf of all Council Members. Council Member Wooten expressed her appreciation to Council Member Berlucchi for the answer and advised she has had staff from the City Manager's Office send out personal emails for her since City staff work for the City Manager. Mayor Dyer advised the policy will be considered at a later Council Meeting for adoption. Vice Mayor Wilson advised the second City Council Policy for discussion is, "Time Limits for Speakers at City Council Meetings". Vice Mayor Wilson advised the major change to the proposed Speaker Policy is to limit the time a speaker has from three(3)minutes per item to a total of ten (10)minutes for items on the Consent Agenda where only a single speaker is signed up. Vice Mayor Wilson advised the total time does not have to be ten (10)minutes and asked for the Body to comment. Council Member Moss advised he is in favor of a total of five (5) minutes and added, before the policy is considered for a vote, there should be a Public Comment scheduled to allow the public to provide feedback. Vice Mayor Wilson advised Council Member Branch was in favor of six(6)minutes and asked the Body if there could be a compromise. Mrs. Barnes, City Clerk, advised the technology in the Chamber for the timer and indicator lights only allows selection of either three(3)or ten(10)minutes, however, in the new building the technology will be updated and can allow any time the Body prefers. Vice Mayor asked the Body what time limit was preferred with the majority agreeing to a total of six (6) minutes. Council Member Holcomb advised as long as this is being discussed, he would like to suggest a cut-off time for speakers to register. Council Member Holcomb advised it can be disruptive during the meeting when citizens approach the City Clerk to request to speak and provided an example of a recent Formal Session when he and Council Member Moss were having difficulty focusing on what was being said while a citizen was talking to the City Clerk and trying to sign up. March 22, 2022 35 CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION/INITIATIVES/COMMENTS CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS& GOVERNANCE POLICIES (Continued) City Attorney Stiles advised it is allowable to have cut-off times for citizens to register to speak and many other jurisdictions have policies in place although this Body has never had one. Mr. Stiles advised he wanted to make the Body aware of a couple other housekeeping items that were changed and explained the policy is updated to clarify speakers may speak for three (3) minutes on non planning items and removes the limit of citizens allowed to speak on an item during Open Dialogue. Mr. Stiles advised the current policy limits three(3)speakers per topic during Open Dialogue although it is not the practice the Body has followed in a long time. Council Member Wooten expressed her concern for setting a cut-off time for citizens to register since many work and may have trouble registering by a certain time. Mayor Dyer advised once the Public Comment is held, the Body can discuss to finalize the policy. March 22, 2022 _7;•.N1A BEA I ,��tx •,}Lr CI.

At its retreat on March 9, 2022, Council expressed a desire to speak with one voice regarding communications to be sent to all employees utilizing City resources. This avoids ambiguity and misperceptions by the workforce as to the intent and import of such communications. 2.0 Communications Sent to All City Employees If a member of the City Council desires to send a communication to all City employees utilizing City resources, the member shall share the proposed communication with the Mayor and Vice Mayor, who shall consult with the other members of the City Council. With the consent of the City Council, the communication may be sent to all City employees, but it shall be from the Mayor or the Vice Mayor, and it shall be sent on behalf of the entire City Council. This restriction does not apply, however,to farewell communications from a councilmember whose tenure on the City Council is ending that is sent at the time of the member's departure. This restriction does not limit a councilmember's ability to send communications to individual employees, including emails sent to multiple employees.

Mayor Dyer opened the discussion and advised he wanted to take responsibility for the delay of acting on establishing the Independent Citizens Review Board(ICRB). Mayor Dyer advised after the George Floyd tragedy, there was a nationwide call to defund the police where police officers were vilified and demoralized, and people were demanding the establishment of police oversight boards. Mayor Dyer explained he did not feel it was the right time to take actions with high levels of emotion as well as having an interim Police Chief Mayor Dyer expressed his pride in the City's police department and explained their use offorce policy is very strict requiring a use offorce report for any police officer who handcuffs a citizen. Mayor Dyer advised after the study was completed, recommendations were made on how the ICRB should be established and he believes the ICRB should fall under the jurisdiction of the City Manager since the volume of complaints is not sufficient to justifi, creating a full time position. Mayor Dyer further advised, it is important to have strategies in place to look at what is causing violence in the first place and looking at ways to mitigate it through providing resources focused on mental health, workforce development, affordable housing,physical health and helping those entering society after incarceration. Vice Mayor Wilson advised the first decision that needs to be made today is if the Talent Bank Application can be distributed so the board members can be appointed and assist with selecting the board coordinator. Vice Mayor Wilson advised once the members are appointed and the coordinator is hired, there will need to be training and that will be at least a week. City Manager Duhaney advised the initial training will be a week but there will be additional legal and police training which will be much longer. Vice Mayor Wilson added, the next decision the Body needs to make is who will oversee the board, adding she agrees with the Mayor's recommendation for it to fall under the City Manager. Council Member Wooten advised the last time the ICRB was discussed was last November when the Body approved the ICRB which was the most simplistic thing to do. Council Member Wooten advised now the development of the board needs to be done and expressed concerns that steps have been missed such as determining who the board will report to and what their budget will be. Council Member Wooten advised those issues should be resolved before appointing members. Council Member Wooten expressed concern of possible repercussions later if the ICRB is not developed correctly now. Council Member Moss advised he supports sending out the Talent Bank applications and setting up the interview panel but believes the board coordinator should not be a City employee and should instead be someone hired by the board who will serve at their pleasure. Council Member Moss advised in order to have a truly independent board, a contract for the board coordinator, who can outsource legal services, is necessary to ensure objectivity and independence from the City Manager who is in the Police Department's chain of command. March 22, 2022 37 CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION/INITIATIVES/COMMENTS INDEPENDENT CITIZENS REVIEW BOARD NEXT STEPS&STAFFING (Continued) Mayor Dyer asked the Body if anyone was against accepting Talent Bank Applications? Council Member Wooten advised she is against sending out applications for a board that has not been developed and reminded the Body that she is leaving at this point, as previously mentioned, due to a family commitment previously scheduled. Mayor Dyer advised the City currently has the Investigation Review Panel which is in need of major repair so this would serve as an improvement. Council Member Rouse asked if an amount for the budget has been identified? City Manager Duhaney advised $110,000 has been budgeted for a full-time employee and incidental training based on this historic trajectory of what the City has seen so far. Council Member Rouse advised he would like to hear more from Council Member Wooten and asked if decisions must be made today? Mayor Dyer advised some decisions need to be made today to move forward but can be modified later, if needed. Council Member Tower advised he supports Council Member Moss's recommendations for contracting an outside coordinator and recommended contracting an outside legal counsel who could also administer the board. Council Member Henley asked how many cases the IRP hear in a year? City Manager Duhaney advised based on a report previously provided, between 2013 and August 2021, there were a total of twenty-six(26) cases with no more than six(6) cases in a single year. City Manager Duhaney advised he will send the report to the Body as a refresher. Council Member Henley recommended looking at both options as described by Council Members Moss and Tower to determine which is best. Mayor Dyer requested the City Manager and City Attorney research the cost of a contract. Council Member Berlucchi advised he agrees with distributing the Talent Bank application but does not feel it is time to appoint members until the board is fully developed by implementing the recommendations from the Citizens Review Panel Task Force. Council Member Moss cautioned using the case numbers from the past as an indicator of what to expect and provided the example of sexual assault cases in the military, once people felt cases where being investigated, the number of incidents reported skyrocketed. Council Member Moss advised once citizens see improvements in investigating complaints there may be a rise in reporting while expressing his hope it will not be the case.
