AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution Renaming the Bayside Recreation Center as "The Louis R. Jones

MEETING DATE: December 13, 2022
• Background: Louis R. Jones served the residents of the City on the City
Council for 36 years. This tenure included two periods of service as the Mayor (July 1,
1982 through June 30, 1984 and May 1, 2018 through November 19, 2018) and fifteen
and a half years as the Vice Mayor(November 1, 2002 through May 1, 2018). Mr. Jones
was known as "Mr. Bayside," and he was instrumental in many projects including the
Lake Gaston Project. He passed away unexpectedly on June 18, 2022.
The Bayside Lesner Bridge is located at 4500 First Court Road. This facility serves the
recreational and fitness needs of the Bayside community and surrounding areas.
Honoring the memory of former Mayor Jones by renaming the Bayside Recreation
Center would be a fitting reminder to the City's residents and visitors of the many years
of service he provided to the City.
• Considerations: The attached resolution renames the Bayside Recreation
Center in honor of Louis R. Jones. The resolution further provides for the City Manager
to take all steps necessary to revise the signage for the facility and all other references
to the facility to include its new name.

REQUESTED BY COUNCILMEMBER WOOTEN
1 AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO
2 ERECT SIGNS DISCOURAGING MOTORISTS FROM
3 GIVING MONEY TO PANHANDLERS
4
5 WHEREAS, City staff has recommended a holistic, coordinated approach
6 involving community stakeholders—including multiple City departments, service
7 partners, and businesses—to effectively address panhandling in Virginia Beach;
8
9 WHEREAS, staff identified four key goals to address panhandling:
10
11 1. Enhance understanding of panhandling in Virginia Beach and its impact
12 on the community;
13
14 2. Develop a campaign to educate and change behaviors of givers and
15 raise awareness of how people experiencing homelessness can access
16 services;
17
18 3. Enhance and expand engagement with the business community; and
19
20 4. Research and study successful programs to address panhandling in
21 other communities; and
22
23 WHEREAS, the posting of signage that discourages motorists from giving to
24 panhandlers but instead provides a link to information about local nonprofits that donors
25 could support, or that persons in need of services could contact for assistance, could
26 further the second goal above of educating and changing behaviors of donors and
27 providing those in need with access to supportive resources;
28
29 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
30 OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA:

36 panhandlers; and
37
38 That the signs erected pursuant to this ordinance shall read, "Please do not
39 encourage panhandling by giving money from your vehicle. Give to Many, Not Just
40 One," and the signs shall include a QR code or website with information regarding local
41 nonprofit community partners that donors could support or that persons in need could

Mayor Dyer advised he attended a meeting with the Hampton Roads Mayors formed to curtail violence in
the Region to discuss the tragic events of the mass shooting at the Walmart in Chesapeake on November
23rd, as it brought up memories of the City's mass shooting and brought to light the continuous work still
needed to address and prevent violence in the Region. Mayor Dyer advised more recently, the City had an
officer involved shooting where a fatality occurred. Mayor Dyer advised the investigation determined the
Police Officer's life was in jeopardy, adding, those in Public Safety who are answering calls 24/7 and never
know what type of call they will be going to should all be valued and appreciated for making this City safe.

INVOCATION: Council Member Wooten
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
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 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. Vice Mayor Wilson regularly
makes this disclosure. Her letter of February 20, 2018 is hereby made part of the record.
December 6, 2022
49
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
identify 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.

ti RESOLUTION
WHEREAS:In the early days of the 20`h century, Princess Anne County was comprised almost entirely of farmland and was known as
Courthouse Station did not have its own fire department.If a medical emergency were to arise or a fire started in the county,the closest fire
station was at the oceanfront outside the Princess Anne County limits.This left some areas in the county nearly isolated;and
WHEREAS:In April 1947,twelve residents of the Princess Anne Court House area banded together to solve this crucial issue that faced the
community.Thus,forming the Princess Anne Court House Volunteer Fire Department.
WHEREAS:In November 1947,the squad was officially chartered by the Commonwealth of Virginia State Corporation Commission, with
Roland West,Herman Bartee,Harry Sawyer,Moses Flanagan,Luke Hill, S.Paul Brown,David "Johnny" Vaughan, Oscar Chaplain and
Frank W.Kellam listed as the charter members.
WHEREAS:As the Princess Anne Court House Volunteer Fire Department sought to provide resources and safety to their community they
were met with some challenges. The first being the acquisition of a fire engine. Though their appeals to the National Guard requesting a fire
engine were not met,local politician Frank Kellam,stepped up to help. With their determination and the support of the community,they were
able to raise the funds to purchase a used fire engine.
WHEREAS:The fire engine was housed in a local barn until the purchase and construction of the Courthouse Fire Station,which was located
just north of the County Jail Lodge(across the street from the modern-day Shell Station at the Municipal Center);and
WHEREAS:In late 1949, the hard work and dedication from these volunteers did not cease. The new station was built by the volunteers
themselves and served as a multipurpose space for the community to congregate;and
WHEREAS:In 1950,Chief West purchased 7 helmets and the station purchased their first,used but new to them,Cadillac Station Wagon to
serve as an ambulance.The volunteers continued to go above and beyond by raising funds to properly equip and stock the ambulance to better
serve the community;and ,..-,i ,,''a, eta -- -_.tea_ foki,, ;:.,,
WHEREAS:The volunteer Fire Departments soon began receiving communication equipment from Princess Anne County.The order in which
the systems were scheduled to be installed would determine their station number.Princess Anne Courthouse was the 5th station to receive their
equipment;and
WHEREAS:In 1963,Princess Anne County merged with the Town of Virginia Beach to create the Independent City of Virginia Beach. The
area surrounding Station 5 would become the Virginia Beach Municipal Center;and
'' WHEREAS:The Courthouse Volunteers would soon modernize with the purchase of a"Big Engine"in 1967 and a built-to-order ambulance
i ,- in the 1970's.As the City grew,a single paid fireman was added to the Monday through Friday 9 a.m.—5 p.m.shift to assist the volunteers.
Shortly after,the department would enhance their skills with educational programs and certifications;and
P
WHEREAS:By 1988,thirty-three members collectively volunteered thirty-eight hundred hours serving the forty-five hundred families residing
in their immediate response area;and
WHEREAS:Fast forward a few years,the station would be responsible for larger events such as the Pungo Strawberry Festival and the events
held at the newly constructed Virginia Beach Amphitheater.The station would continue to grow and meet the needs of the surrounding area as
it expanded and welcomed new residents;and
�2 WHEREAS:Station 5 would soon become the third largest volunteer rescue squad among the other 10 operating in the area;and
WHEREAS:Princess Anne Courthouse Volunteer Rescue Squad celebrates 75 years of operation this month;and
WHEREAS:While we reflect on the contributions this organization has made to our community,we would also like to take a moment to reflect
;, on their rich history.The foundation of this department was built on the needs of the community.Residents took it upon themselves to take care
of one another.As the department grew those core values never faded;and
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED:That the City Council congratulates Princess Anne Courthouse Volunteer Rescue Squad and Fire

CITIZENS COMMITTEE
ON
BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
June 3 , 2022
Final Report- June 3, 2022
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Dear Mayor Dyer, Vice Mayor Wilson, and Members of City Council,
In 2003 City Council appointed the first Citizens Committee on Boards and Commissions. That
Committee made recommendations regarding all aspects of the City's Boards and
Commissions, which Council adopted. In the nearly twenty years since, the City has taken
great steps to implement many of those recommendations, but some were either not
implemented or not uniformly enforced, new challenges arose, and the evolution of
technology has significantly changed expectations and opportunities.
On November 19, 2019, City Council adopted the Resolution to "Re-establish the Citizens
Committee on Boards and Commissions." Our Committee was tasked with identifying potential
improvements to the appointment process and best practices for board operations and
staffing, and advising City Council on these matters. Our assigned scope of work was limited to
organizations with members appointed by City Council; Mayor's Commissions and committees
convened by others were not addressed. Following an extensive review process beginning in
November 2020 and culminating in May 2022, we respectfully provide the enclosed report and
recommendations for City Council's consideration. We have also developed and included
nine Exhibits containing forms and tools to accelerate implementation, rather than leaving that
work to be performed later by City staff.
In developing these recommendations, our Committee met 29 times and logged over 500
volunteer hours. As a starting point, at our very first meeting the Committee was presented with
a list of nearly 60 topics and questions compiled by the City Clerk's Office for evaluation. The
Committee reviewed an extensive array of materials, including recommendations from the
predecessor Committee, current City Ordinances, information from the City Clerk's website,
print materials used to market opportunities on Boards and Commissions, and individual
agency digital platforms. We examined procedures and materials from nearly 100 other
localities from our neighboring localities in Hampton Roads to cities big and small all over the
United States. In addition, we conducted two surveys: one among the chairs of the Boards
and Commissions and one among the staff liaisons. Committee members also applied their
extensive experience gathered from serving on numerous City Boards and Commissions.
Our Committee's work was not without its challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic delayed our
first meeting by eight months and prolonged our efforts with virtual meetings and occasional
cancellations. In addition, like many other City Boards and Commissions we were not immune
to quorum and attendance issues. Indeed, our Committee started with eleven members and
now concludes with seven members. The Court's Redistricting ruling also impacted the work of
the Committee, causing us to re-examine some of our recommendations. Ultimately though,
these challenges proved to be integral to many of our recommendations as they highlighted
areas where City processes should be improved. Moreover, they suggested to us that
consistent re-evaluation through a standing committee would be beneficial to the City and
avoid recurrence of implementation problems the prior committee's work experienced.
During the course of our work the Committee also achieved a number of beneficial outcomes
that have already impacted Boards and Commissions in the City. We assisted the Clerk's office
CITIZENS COMMITTEE ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS I 1
Final Report- June 3, 2022
in revising the Boards and Commissions Pamphlet and revising the City website. We drafted
and tested many proposed forms and procedures, including within our own Committee's
operations. We efficiently engaged the City Attorney's Office to evaluate and assist with
resolving policy concerns that have since been applied to multiple agencies. We also
encouraged the addition of student members on Boards and Commissions and have seen
several such opportunities added. Additionally, we significantly increased knowledge and best
practices among staff, staff liaisons, and Board and Commission chairs.
Ultimately, the Committee identified three primary areas ripe for important improvements:
1. Public Engagement
2. Efficiency of Operation
3. Mission Fulfillment / Effectiveness
We believe the enclosed recommendations present significant opportunities for improving
these three critical concerns. As you can imagine, after nearly two years of work, these
recommendations were subjected to significant discussion and review wherein we weighed
public interest, administrative simplicity, and sustainability. Our key recommendations include:
• Implementing software and new technologies to streamline many processes;
• Developing and providing simple, standard training for appointees and staff liaisons;
• Revamping attendance and quorum policies and providing for enforcement;
• Implementing easier and more effective Annual Report and work product methods; and
• Standardizing operating procedures.
Finaliy, we would be remiss not to recognize the work of the individual members of the
Committee, Council Members Berlucchi and Henley who served as Council Liaisons and the
staff liaisons who provided expertise and wisdom throughout the process:
Appointed Committee Members: Staff Liaisons:
James B. (Jimmy) Wood, Chairman Amanda Barnes, City Clerk
Walter T. Camp, Vice Chairman Terri Chelius, Chief Deputy City Clerk
Lawrence (Larry) Dotolo Roderick Ingram, Deputy City Attorney
Douglas (Doug) McLiverty Neva White, Chief Strategy Officer
Bernice Pope Melissa Zibutis, Asst. to the City Manager
Stacey Shiflet Mary Katherine Zimmerman, Volunteer
Sylvia Nery-Strickland Resources Administrative Technician
Without question, this process highlighted how many wonderful volunteers our city is fortunate
to have and how lucky we are to have such a dedicated, efficient, and productive
professional staff. Our recommendations should make their efforts easier and more effective.
We look forward to the opportunity to brief you on our work and recommendations.
Respectfully submitted,
James B. (Jimmy) Wood Walter T. Camp

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution to Reestablish the Citizens Committee on Boards and
Commissions
MEETING DATE: November 19, 2019
• Background: The City has been well-served by the hundreds of citizen
volunteers who comprise the City's boards, commissions, committees, authorities,
councils and other advisory bodies. In 2003, a City Council-appointed Citizens
Committee on Boards and Commissions made recommendations regarding all aspects
of the City's boards and commissions. Since then, most of the recommendations have
been implemented, but the boards and commissions could benefit from a fresh look
aimed at identifying potential improvements to the appointment process and best
practices for board operations and staffing.
• Considerations: The committee shall serve in an advisory capacity to the City
Council, and the City Council shall appoint its members. The Committee shall consist of
up to eleven members and should include residents who have served on a City board or
commission, including a designee of the Process Improvement Steering Committee.
Staff support shall be provided by the City Clerk's Office, the Office of Volunteer
Resources, the STiR Office, and the City Attorney's Office.
• Public Information: Via the normal Council agenda process.
• Attachments: Resolution.

CITIZENS COMMITTEE ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS I 6
Final Report- June 3, 2022
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
1 . City Council should reaffirm that citizen input and participation with local
government are critical to quality of life and to ensure Virginia Beach as a
"Community for a Lifetime."
2. City Council and City Staff should stress the vital role of Appointive Agencies'
in making certain that the voices of citizens are heard.
3. As many other localities its size have already done, the City of Virginia Beach
should implement Appointive Agency software to significantly increase public
engagement, efficiency, and agency effectiveness while reducing administrative
burden.
4. To increase public engagement significantly, to allow more choices of meeting
places and times, and to reduce staff burden the City should better equip more
rooms to easily and effectively accommodate hybrid meetings of Appointive
Agencies involving both in-person and remote participation. Such facilities would
also benefit City agencies and staff.
5. Future legislative agendas of the City of Virginia Beach should continue to seek
greater opportunities for local advisory Appointive Agencies and their individual
appointees to participate in meetings remotely. This recommendation does not
extend to Appointive Agencies that are quasi-judicial or grant-making in nature,
that render decisions on property rights, or to independent or regional agencies.
RECRUITING AND MARKETING
1. City Council and City Staff shall make citizens aware of opportunities to serve on
Appointive Agencies.
2. Membership on each Appointive Agency should reflect the geographic, gender,
age, ethnic, and occupational diversity of the City. City Council should reaffirm a
commitment to appoint Virginia Beach residents, except those appointed by virtue of
their position, to the Appointive Agencies.
3. City Council should place an emphasis on public information outreach to inform the
public and build interest in serving on Appointive Agencies.
1 Please note,we have chosen to utilize the term"Appointive Agencies"throughout these recommendations in lieu of
"Boards and Commissions,""Committees," "Authorities," "Councils," "Panels," "Task Forces,"and other terms presently in
use for organizations with one or more citizen-members appointed by the Virginia Beach City Council.
CITIZENS COMMITTEE ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS I 7
Final Report- June 3, 2022
4. City Council shall direct the necessary stakeholders to develop and implement a public
relations campaign to enhance participation and membership within the City of Virginia
Beach Appointive Agencies.
5. The City Clerk shall work with the Communications Office to identify modern media and
communication outlets to utilize for advertising volunteer opportunities with the City's
Appointive Agencies.
a. The City Clerk shall periodically meet with the Communications Office to
ensure the most current modern media and communication outlets are
being effectively utilized.
b. As needed, the City Clerk shall utilize the Communications Office to
advertise specific hard-to-fill Appointive Agency positions (e.g., those
requiring specific educational backgrounds or specific licensure).
6. The City Clerk shall continue to maintain its Appointive Agencies pamphlet in
hard copy. The City Clerk will also work to maintain an electronic version of the
Appointive Agencies pamphlet easily accessible by the public.
a. Every City office with a public-facing desk should be provided with copies
of the Appointive Agencies pamphlet including Libraries and Recreation
Centers (or another document directing the public to the electronic
version of the pamphlet).
b. Each year the City Clerk shall identify community organizations that may
have members interested in serving on Appointive Agencies and ensure
that these organizations are provided with the Appointive Agencies
pamphlet.
c. Each year the City Clerk shall identify under-represented communities'
organizations that may have members interested in serving on Appointive
Agencies and ensure that these organizations are provided with the
Appointive Agencies pamphlet.
d. The City Clerk shall ensure the Appointive Agencies pamphlets are made
available to each member of City Council, so that City Council members
may continue recruiting efforts at their community meetings and events.
7. The City's website should be enhanced to create a more vibrant, accessible, and
informative "landing spot" for information on Appointive Agencies.
a. This should include at a minimum:
i. A full listing of all Appointive Agencies.
ii. Links to the individual webpages and other digital platforms for
each specific Appointive Agency.
1. The staff liaison for each Appointive Agency should maintain
a current membership listing with appointed terms on their
individual webpage including information on the meeting
schedule and frequency.
iii. Vacancies for each Appointive Agency.
1. The number of vacancies, including Student positions, should
be listed at the beginning of each calendar year based on
the number of open seats on each Appointive Agency, as
CITIZENS COMMITTEE ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS I 8
Final Report- June 3, 2022
well as the number of seats not specifically vacant, but
whose term expires during that calendar year.
iv. Adult and Student Talent Bank Application forms with online
submittal capability, as described later in this report.
v. Training materials described later in this report, enabling prospective
applicants to become better prepared for service and providing
convenient centralized access for current appointees.
b. Adoption of Appointive Agency software would facilitate more efficient
and standardized implementation of this recommendation and enable
enhancements beyond the minimum, increasing public engagement.
SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY
1. Appointive Agencies should be encouraged to use existing departmental and
City platforms for reaching the public rather than establishing new platforms.
2. Appointive Agencies should annually evaluate the utilization, effectiveness, and
resources required to maintain social media platforms and make appropriate
changes to ensure efficiency.
3. Staff liaisons shall report all existing Appointive Agency social media platforms to
the offices of the City Attorney and City Clerk.
a. This recommendation is made at the request of the City Attorney's Office,
which identified having a centralized registry of such sites as a best
practice.
4. The City Clerk's webpage should include links to all Appointive Agency digital
platforms.
5. Social media platforms for Appointive Agencies should be registered to the City
of Virginia Beach following City procedures, and not be registered to private
individuals.
6. Departments supporting Appointive Agencies should post social media content,
which may be supplied by appointees, on their behalf.
7. Social media posts for Appointive Agencies should provide information, align with
the agency's mission, and inform the public of meetings, events, and service
opportunities.
8. The Commission's training recommendations include providing guidance for
appointees on personal social media posts related to their City position.
CITIZENS COMMITTEE ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS I 9
Final Report- June 3, 2022
YOUTH INVOLVEMENT
1. Appointive Agencies should be encouraged to identify and create opportunities for
student involvement designed to support the agency's mission. This may include both
formal participation on the Appointive Agency or informal participation on sub-
committees, events, programs, etc.
a. In the event an Appointive Agency seeks formal student involvement on the
Appointive Agency, then the membership status of the student members (e.g.,
voting member or non-voting member, term of office, etc.) should be decided by
City Council on a case-by-case basis based on input from the requesting
Appointive Agency.
2. The City Clerk shall ensure information regarding opportunities for student/youth
involvement with the Appointive Agencies is maintained on the City's website.
3. The City Clerk shall work with local schools, including private schools, home school
organizations, and the Virginia Beach City Public Schools, to provide information on
opportunities for student/youth involvement and Student Talent Bank Applications to
these groups.
PROSPECTIVE APPOINTEES
1. Prospective appointees should be encouraged to:
a. Attend Appointive Agency meetings to learn about the group's
mission and operations;
b. Engage with the Appointive Agency by participating in its events and
programs;
c. Consider any opportunities to support the Appointive Agency's
mission through Volunteer Office programs; and
d. Prepare themselves for service by taking the online training proposed
herein.
TALENT BANK APPLICATION
1. The City Clerk shall implement the standard Talent Bank Application and Student Talent
Bank Application attached to these recommendations. Please find the proposed Talent
Bank Application attached as Exhibit A and the proposed Student Talent Bank Application
attached as Exhibit B.
2. The City should explore the utilization of a software-driven online system for collecting
applications to serve on Appointive Agencies, increasing efficiency and enabling greater
reporting capabilities.
a. In the interim, the City Clerk should implement a method to submit the Talent Bank
Application electronically.
CITIZENS COMMITTEE ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS I 10
Final Report- June 3, 2022
3. There should be no limit on the number of Appointive Agencies on which an individual
can serve. Council should consider concurrent appointments, but they should not be the
final decision criterion. A list of all Appointive Agencies on which a nominee currently
serves should be provided to the Council before a new appointment or re-appointment
is made. This is also incorporated into the (re)appointment application and request forms.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST REQUIREMENTS
1. All appointees shall comply with state laws related to conflict of interest filing if the
Appointive Agency on which they serve is subject to such requirements under state law.
2. All members of Appointive Agencies shall be required to acknowledge "The Principles of
Service" statement, which is incorporated into the Talent Bank Application, Student
Talent Bank Application, and Reappointment Request Form (see Exhibits A, B and F).
BACKGROUND CHECK / BADGE ACCESS
1. In general, no background check should be required to serve on Appointive
Agencies, except as specifically required by City Council, state law, or another
governing authority.
2. Appointive Agencies should advise City Council of new circumstances that may
warrant re-evaluation of specific background check requirements.
3. Appropriate access privileges for members of Appointive Agencies should be
determined by professionals responsible for the security and safety of municipal
facilities, rather than by a general ordinance.
a. Those currently holding access badges should continue until otherwise
determined by City security and safety authorities.
b. Those desiring additional access privileges should make a request to the City
Council liaison for evaluation by City security and safety authorities.
PRE-APPOINTMENT INTERVIEWS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. City Council shall decide whether pre-appointment interviews are a requirement for
each Appointive Agency on an individualized basis. Ultimate authority to make
appointments does and should continue to rest with City Council.
a. City Council may delegate authority to interview applicants for appointment to
an Appointive Agency to the specific Appointive Agency.
CITIZENS COMMITTEE ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS I 11
Final Report- June 3, 2022
2. If provided for by law or ordinance or with the consent of the appropriate City Council
liaison, an Appointive Agency may conduct interviews to make recommendations for
appointment to the Appointive Agency.
a. Interviews shall comply with applicable public meeting laws.
b. The Appointive Agency should seek guidance in advance from the City
Attorney's Office on appropriate procedures for conducting interviews.
3. If an Appointive Agency, through its chair, wishes to make recommendations for
appointment, the City Clerk may be consulted regarding interested applicants and for
review of talent bank applications in the City Clerk's office.
a. The City Clerk may provide the chair with basic contact information for applicants
to the Appointive Agency, but shall not distribute talent bank applications, unless
otherwise provided for by ordinance.

Agency's City Council liaison, or to the Vice Mayor if no liaison exists, with a copy
to the City Clerk.
4. Changes in applicants' status.
a. Talent Bank applicants shall be responsible for updating their applications,
particularly with regard to changes in residency, criteria required for appointment
such as current licensure, and ongoing availability/interest in appointment.
b. Prior to appointment, and especially for Talent Bank applications on file for more
than one year, efforts should be made either by the Clerk's Office, Appointive
Agency chair, or staff liaison as appropriate, to contact the prospective
appointee for confirmation of residency, required criteria, and ongoing
availability/interest.
TRAINING PROGRAMS
1. Create Training Programs for Appointive Agency Members and Staff Liaisons
a. Take greater advantage of technology
b. Simplify training into topic modules rather than a single, long course
i. Easier for trainees to complete as time allows
ii. Easier for the City to update portions as needed
c. Enable training to be delivered online, preferably at a self-directed pace
d. Reduce key training points into corresponding Training Handbooks (digital)
e. Create a short introductory video from Mayor, Vice Mayor and/or City Manager
f. Review training topics bi-annually and modify as the City's needs evolve

already use or which may be part of a municipal Appointive Agency package)
should be considered to track training completion.
2. Appointive Agency Member Training
a. Four short modules, shown on Exhibit C, are suggested for initial training program
b. Timing of Training
CITIZENS COMMITTEE ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS I 12
Final Report- June 3, 2022
i. Until training tracking software is implemented, new Appointive Agency
appointees should make reasonable efforts to take training prior to, or
within 30 days after, appointment.
ii. Current Appointive Agency appointees should make reasonable efforts to
take training prior to, or within 30 days after, re-appointment.
iii. Opportunities and encouragement should also be offered for current
appointees to take training as it becomes available, rather than waiting
until reappointment nears.
iv. These recommendations should be revisited when automated tracking
solutions become available, or during the bi-annual training program
review noted above.
c. Retraining or Supplemental Training
i. To be considered as new matters arise (e.g., adoption of new laws,
ordinances, policies, or circumstances such as COVID)
ii. May be utilized as part of solutions for resolving appointee issues
d. Make training available digitally to the general public via website delivery
i. Talent Bank applicants may take early & note as a "Plus" factor

CITIZENS COMMITTEE ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS I 13
Final Report- June 3, 2022
ATTENDANCE
1. To fulfill their duties, the City's Appointive Agencies rely upon the active participation of
appointees. The chair of each Appointive Agency shall encourage attendance and
enforce the City's Appointive Agency attendance policies.
2. Attendance at each Appointive Agency meeting shall be recorded in the Minutes.
3. The chair and staff liaison shall classify attendance according to the City's attendance
policies.
4. When technology permits, meeting attendance should be promptly uploaded online by
the staff liaison so the Clerk's office will have continuous access to current information.
5. Until technology allows ongoing reporting online, staff liaisons shall maintain a standard
Appointive Agency Attendance Report (see Exhibit E) and promptly provide it to the
chair, City Clerk, or Council liaison upon request. This Report should be provided to the
City Clerk promptly after the last meeting of the calendar year, and it should also be
included in the Appointive Agency's Annual Report.
6. City Council should consider attendance records when making (re)appointments.
EXPIRATION OF TERM / REAPPOINTMENTS
1. The staff liaison shall give 90 days advance notice to any member of an Appointive
Agency whose term is expiring.
a. The staff liaison shall notify the member of their term expiration in writing (until
technology permits a more streamlined process), including the Reappointment
Request Form (see Exhibit F), with a copy to the chair and City Council liaison. The
staff liaison shall inquire as to whether the member is interested in continuing their
service with the appointive agency for an additional appointment period. The
staff liaison shall also instruct the appointee to return the Reappointment Request
Form at least 60 days in advance of their term's expiration.
b. The chair of such Appointive Agency should also communicate with the member
to determine the member's interest in continuing to serve on the Appointive
Agency.
c. The member should provide notice to the City Clerk as soon as possible (and at
least 60 days in advance of the expiration of their term) regarding their desire to
be re-appointed, utilizing the Reappointment Request form attached as Exhibit F.
d. If a member eligible for reappointment does not timely return the Reappointment
Request form, then the City Clerk should provide that information to Council for
their consideration in the reappointment process. While it would be helpful to
have the form returned, a failure to do so should not disqualify an individual from
reappointment.
CITIZENS COMMITTEE ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS I 14
Final Report- June 3, 2022
2. The staff liaison shall provide the City Clerk and City Council liaison with all measurable
information and data related to members who are up for reappointment, including
attendance and other concurrent appointments.
3. The chair of an Appointive Agency may provide recommendations to the City Council
liaison, or to the Vice Mayor if no liaison exists or is available, and to the City Clerk for
appointments and reappointments to the Appointive Agency. The City Clerk will
provide any recommendations made by the chair to City Council for the Council's
consideration.
4. The City Clerk should provide City Council with a list of the various Appointive Agency
members whose terms are expiring 60 days in advance of such expiration date.
5. Appointments and reappointments of members to Appointive Agencies should occur
thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of terms.
6. Council should continue its recently adopted practice of considering appointments at
the conclusion of its workshop sessions in addition to regular business meetings, which
has been effective in minimizing Appointive Agency vacancies.
7. Appointments beyond term limits.
a. Staff liaison training recommendations described in this report shall include best
practices related to communications with Appointive Agency members whose
terms are expiring, and who have reached their maximum term limit, on the City
Code provision allowing for additional terms in certain circumstances.
b. Retain the current City Code provision (City Code § 2-3(b)) that enables the City
Council, by an affirmative vote of a majority of all Council Members, to reappoint
a person to one or more additional terms beyond those permitted by City Code §
2-3(a) when, by virtue of the unique qualifications of the position or other
extenuating circumstances, doing so would serve the best interests of the City.
c. City Council should provide a rationale when reappointing anyone beyond the
term limits as set forth in Section 2-3(a).
8. Consider changing the term limits for Appointive Agencies that have specific
membership requirements that are difficult to meet, as was done in City Code § 2-3(c)
for appointees to the Board of Building Code Appeals. Such circumstances should be
identified by the Clerk's Office, in Appointive Agency annual reports, and in the periodic
procedural review process recommended elsewhere in this report.
9. An individual who previously served on an Appointive Agency shall not be deemed to
have a consecutive appointment if three or more months have passed since the
appointee's most recent term with the same Appointive Agency has concluded.
10. Letters of appointment and reappointment should include the appointee's obligation to
self-report the loss of certification/license, change of residency, or other changes to
factors upon which their appointment is conditioned.
CITIZENS COMMITTEE ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS I 15
Final Report- June 3, 2022
APPOINTMENTS HELD BY VIRTUE OF POSITION
1. Government Positions. Unless otherwise specified by Ordinance, law, or bylaws
approved by City Council, appointments of members to Appointive Agencies by virtue
of concurrent service in a specific elected, appointed, or employed government
position (Federal, State or local) shall terminate if an incumbent ceases to hold or is
suspended from such position. Absent other action by City Council, their authorized
successor in that government position, acting or permanent, shall also assume
appointment to such Appointive Agency seats ordained as secondary assignments for
their office, subject to subsequent confirmation by City Council.
2. Non-Government Positions. Unless otherwise specified by Ordinance, law, or bylaws
approved by City Council, appointments of members to Appointive Agencies by virtue
of concurrent service in a non-governmental position shall terminate if an incumbent
ceases to hold or is suspended from such position. The Appointive Agency seat
previously held by the incumbent shall be vacant until City Council appoints a
successor.
3. Inter-Agency City Liaisons. When Council desires one Appointive Agency to coordinate
with another, consideration should be given to allowing the agency providing a liaison
to designate which of its members should serve rather than requiring Council itself to
appoint a specific individual member as the liaison.
a. This recommendation is intended to increase attendance by inter-Agency liaisons
by allowing more responsive designation changes as individual availability and
workloads change.
b. Backup inter-Agency liaisons, which do not exist now, could also be readily
designated by the Agency itself, furthering Council's goals by reducing
attendance gaps, communications breakdowns, and failures to coordinate.
CIRCUMSTANCES TO REMOVE AN APPOINTEE
Failure to Take Oath of Office (Lapse of Appointment)
1. A limited number of appointees are required to take an Oath of Office, typically by
State Law.
2. Appointment letters for such positions should indicate service is conditioned upon taking
the Oath.
3. An appointee who fails to take an Oath as required allows their conditional
appointment to lapse and forfeits the opportunity to serve.
4. The Clerk should promptly notify the appointee their appointment has lapsed and notify
Council the position remains vacant and requires a new appointment.
CITIZENS COMMITTEE ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS I 16
Final Report- June 3, 2022
Excessive Absences
1. Attendance is directly correlated to Appointive Agency participation and thereby to
the success of the organization in furthering its mission. Creating and maintaining a
culture that expects the participation of its members in productive meetings will increase
the engagement of the Appointive Agency. Engaged appointees are an Appointive
Agency's most valuable assets.
2. Recommended procedures for recording attendance, and thereby identifying
excessive absenteeism, are noted elsewhere in this report.
3. The staff liaison will notify the Appointive Agency chair after a member has had two
unexcused absences. The chair shall contact the member to determine why the
member is missing meetings and remind the member of the City's attendance policy,
and if applicable, the Agency's remote participation policy.
4. If a member accumulates three or more absences in a calendar year, or is absent from
more than one-fourth of the total number of meetings held during the calendar year, for
any reason other than personal illness, the illness or death of a relative, or other
circumstances beyond the member's control (as determined by the chair), the staff
liaison shall notify the City Clerk's office in writing, with a copy to the chair, and advise
the City Clerk of the name of the member of who has accumulated absences beyond
those allowed by the City Code. The notification should reference the attendance
policy set forth in City Code § 2-3.1 and indicate it was sent on behalf of the chair.
5. Given that City Code § 2-3.1 provides that absences due to personal illness, the illness or
death of a relative, or other circumstances beyond the member's control are excused
absences, and given the option for members of Appointive Agencies to participate in
meetings from a remote location if the Appointive Agency has adopted a remote
participation policy as authorized by the Virginia Freedom of Information Act and City
Council Policy, the City Code requirement and procedures for removal of appointees
due to excessive unexcused absences should be strictly enforced.
Failure to File Financial Disclosure Form
1. Recommendations elsewhere in this report significantly limit the number of appointees
required to file a Financial Disclosure form.
2. In most cases, consequences for failure to file a Financial Disclosure form will be
determined by State law.
3. If an appointee is required to file a Financial Disclosure but is not subject to State law
consequences for failure to do so:
a. Their appointment letter should note filing is a requirement for continued service;
b. Failure to timely file should result in a prompt letter from the City Clerk allowing 30
additional days; and
CITIZENS COMMITTEE ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS I 17
Final Report- June 3, 2022
c. Failure to file by the extended deadline should result in automatic termination of
the appointment, carried out by written notice from the City Clerk in the same
manner provided in § 2-3.1 for termination due to excessive unexcused absences.
4. Given the limited number of positions impacted by this recommendation, the public
transparency objective of the filing requirement, the well-communicated requirement to
file, and provisions to remedy an initial lapse in timely filing, if allowed by state law, this
policy should be strictly enforced.
Other Circumstances
1. A variety of other circumstances may impair an appointee's ability to serve effectively or
may impair their Appointive Agency's ability to fulfill its mission.
2. When such circumstances arise the appointee should notify the chair, who in turn should
notify the Council liaison or Vice Mayor (in the absence or unavailability of a Council
liaison), as appropriate.
3. These situations should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
4. City Council should continue to exercise its authority to remove appointees as it
determines best for the welfare of the City and the Appointive Agencies.
5. Circumstances which could, but would not necessarily, lead to Council's review for
potential termination of an appointment may involve violation of the Principles of
Service or certain criminal convictions.
6. Council should provide for an appointee Leave of Absence (LOA) where legally
permissible as an intermediate step to facilitate Appointive Agency operations during
such circumstances.
a. Such LOAs should be for a defined, limited term - perhaps up to three (3) months.
b. Such LOAs could be requested by the appointee or imposed.
c. Power to grant an LOA should vest in the agency's Council liaison, or the Vice
Mayor in the absence or unavailability of a Council liaison.
d. Appointive Agency quorums should not include appointees on an LOA.
e. Appointee absences during a properly granted LOA should be considered
"Excused."
f. Such LOAs would not be for personal medical or family medical reasons already
addressed by City ordinance.
CITIZENS COMMITTEE ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS I 18
Final Report- June 3, 2022
RECOGNITION
1. Appropriate opportunities for recognition of appointees should be identified using the
City's Office of Volunteer Services as a resource.
2. The City Manager should be encouraged to recognize outstanding performance by
staff liaisons supporting Appointive Agencies, as appropriate.
3. The nature and timing of such recognition should be periodically re-evaluated to ensure
effectiveness and efficiency.
COUNCIL LIAISONS
1. City Council should consider selecting two of its own members to serve as Liaisons or
Contacts to each Appointive Agency.
a. The second Council Liaison/Contact may choose to serve in a limited, backup
capacity or in a full capacity.
b. For Appointive Agencies with quasi-judicial powers or other reasons why Council
Members should not act as full liaisons or attend meetings, City Council Members
should be designated as "City Council Contacts" with more limited roles.
c. If neither City Council Liaisons nor Contacts are currently designated for an
Appointive Agency, the Vice Mayor shall serve as the agency's point of contact
with City Council.
2. City Council's current practice of reviewing liaison/contact assignments annually and
when the composition of Council changes is endorsed as a helpful practice.
3. Familiarity with the missions and work of the City's Appointive Agencies and attendance
at their programs and special events should be encouraged for all Council Members.
4. City Council liaisons can help Appointive Agencies succeed and fulfill their missions in
the following ways:
a. Refer relevant matters to Appointive Agencies, inform Appointive Agencies of
Council initiatives, and advise Agencies of Council's perspectives on matters
relevant to their mission.
b. Use Liaison Reports to inform Council and the public of Appointive Agency issues,
achievements, and events.
c. Actively engage with assigned Appointive Agencies and be available to chairs
for coordination.
d. Facilitate Appointive Agency communications to Council, including reports and
presentations.
e. Provide guidance on desired work products and assignments from Council, and
provide acknowledgement and feedback to the Appointive Agency after
receiving and considering their reports.
f. Advise the City Manager of circumstances appropriate for his consideration and
execution for facilitating the success of Appointive Agencies.
CITIZENS COMMITTEE ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS I 19
Final Report- June 3, 2022
g. When recruiting, filling, or reappointing to open seats on Appointive Agencies:
i. Give consideration to recommendations from the Appointive Agency;
ii. Coordinate with District Council Members on Appointive Agencies with
geographic composition requirements.
h. Promote coordination when advice from more than one Appointive Agency is
sought, such as when the same or related issue is referred to both a geographic
Appointive Agency such as RAC and a general government service Commission
such as Parks & Recreation.
i. Sponsor Appointive Agency recommendations for consideration by Council,
including changes in size, composition, liaisons and student members.
j. Provide fellow City Council Members with context and information when
evaluating the Appointive Agency's Annual Report and other work products, as
described elsewhere in these recommendations.
STAFF LIAISONS
1. Staff liaisons shall be expected to perform all duties identified in the Staff Liaison Training
program.
2. The City Manager should be directed to ensure supervisors are aware of Appointive
Agency staff liaison duties so workloads can be appropriately planned, performance
can be evaluated, and provisions for staff liaison succession and backup can be made.
3. Staff liaisons shall maintain current and orderly files for assigned Appointive Agencies,
including meeting agendas, meeting minutes, and attendance records.
4. Staff liaisons shall file all necessary public meeting notices for their assigned Appointive
Agency.
S. Staff liaisons shall promptly notify the chair, City Council liaison, and City Clerk's office of
any changes in appointee membership status, eligibility to serve, or contact information.
6. Staff liaisons should inform supporting department leaders and appropriate staff about
matters being considered by the Appointive Agency.
7. Staff liaisons should coordinate with Appointive Agency chairs when opportunities arise
for the City's professional staff to assist appointees with making informed evaluations
and recommendations.
8. Staff liaisons shall promptly provide newly appointed members and all liaisons orientation
materials.
CITIZENS COMMITTEE ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS I 20
Final Report- June 3, 2022
9. Staff liaisons shall coordinate webpage postings and if applicable, social media
postings, for the Appointive Agency
ANNUAL REPORTS
1. An Appointive Agency's Annual Report is perhaps the most important and
underutilized tool for enabling City Council's evaluation of each agency's mission,
effectiveness, and opportunities for service. Efforts should be prioritized to ensure
Appointive Agency annual reports are easy to prepare and submit, standardized
with key content valued by Council, and expected on a timely basis.
2. The chair of each Appointive Agency, other than Independent or Regional
Agencies, shall file an Annual Report to City Council with the City Clerk's office no
later than sixty (60) days after fiscal year-end, unless otherwise specified.
a. City Budget. Submission of Annual Reports on this timetable is intended to
facilitate timely consideration of recommendations related to resources
early in the City's budget development cycle, with all Agency requests
presented at the same time. Council has often requested such timing.
b. City Policies. The timing is also intended to enable consideration of policy
recommendations early in the development cycle for legislative agendas
involving other levels of government.
3. The Annual Report shall cover the period July 1 -June 30 of the fiscal year just
ended, unless otherwise specified.
4. A simple, standard Annual Report template showing minimum requirements is
included as Exhibit G. Appointive agencies may choose to provide additional
material, but all annual reports shall include each of the minimum required
sections.
5. Appointive Agencies will differ in the types of information they report, depending
on their mission.
a. Advisory Appointive Agencies may choose to focus on programs and
projects.
b. Quasi-judicial Appointive Agencies may choose to focus on statistics and
processes related to the matters they evaluate.
6. The chair and staff liaison should collaborate to draft the Annual Report.
7. Annual Reports should be approved by the Appointive Agency prior to filing with
the City Clerk for distribution to Council.
8. An Annual Report should be filed even if no other meetings were held or no
business was conducted in the prior year. The report should indicate the reason
for these circumstances to assist City Council in their annual evaluation of the
Appointive Agency and its mission.
CITIZENS COMMITTEE ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS I 21
Final Report- June 3, 2022
9. Online completion and filing of Annual Reports should be part of the future City
Appointive Agency software, significantly reducing reparation time, enabling
tracking without administrative burden, and increasing access to information.
10. Appointive Agency Annual Reports should be made available to the public via
online posting.
11. The opportunity for Appointive Agencies to periodically brief City Council should
continue to be afforded as an important process for public awareness, fulfillment
of the citizen-advisory role, and two-way engagement with the majority of
Council who are often not otherwise focused on the agency.
APPOINTIVE AGENCY MISSION, ESTABLISHMENT AND SUNSETTING
1. City Council should consider assigning matters to Appointive Agencies in this order of
preference and priority:
a. First, to one or more existing agencies, augmenting their mission if necessary;
b. Second, to a new temporary Appointive Agency with a defined sunset provision;
c. Third, to a newly established standing Appointive Agency.
2. The City Attorney's Office should maintain model ordinances for establishing new
temporary and standing Appointive Agencies containing a list of elements for City
Council to determine such as: mission, membership composition, terms of appointment
and term limits, supporting City Department(s), budget (if any), sunset provision (if
temporary), and any governance matters, powers or limitations that differ from default
City standards for Appointive Agencies.
3. Each existing Appointive Agency shall review its mission statement and present any
recommended changes to City Council in conjunction with its Annual Report.
4. City Council should direct the City Manager to maintain a current master organizational
chart indicating the City Departments supporting each Appointive Agency, and to
provide this chart to the City Clerk for public posting on the Appointive Agencies
webpage.
5. When considering each Appointive Agency's Annual Report City Council should
evaluate:
a. The Agency's own recommendations for changes to its mission;
b. New or changed issues City Council wishes the Appointive Agency to address;
c. The effectiveness of the Agency in accomplishing its mission;
d. Policy, Agency composition, or resource changes to improve Appointive Agency
mission fulfillment. Inter-Agency liaisons should be considered as an alternative to
appointing additional full voting members where appropriate;
CITIZENS COMMITTEE ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS I 22
Final Report- June 3, 2022
e. The balance of agency support workloads across City departments;
f. Opportunities for consolidation or sunsetting of Appointive Agencies.
TERMS OF OFFICE FOR ALL APPOINTIVE AGENCIES
1. The City Council should define the terms of office (period of time) for members serving
on all Appointive Agencies. Specifically, the City Council should make this
determination when establishing an Appointive Agency, or when adding new classes of
members such as students, or when designating new liaison positions.
2. If City Council chooses not to define all terms of office, then the City should enact an
appropriate ordinance to apply a default one-year term to those otherwise undefined.
3. The City Council should amend any current ordinance for any existing Appointive
Agencies lacking established terms of office in order to establish appropriate terms.
BYLAWS
1. The majority of appointive Agencies are not required to maintain individual
bylaws and generally should be discouraged from adopting bylaws to avoid
conflicts with ordinances of general applicability subsequently adopted by
Council, consumption of staff and volunteer resources required to train on and
maintain unique bylaws rather than focusing on mission fulfillment, and
redundancy with determinations made solely by Council.
2. In general, only Appointive Agencies that make grants, are independent or
regional agencies, or are otherwise required to do so, should consider
maintaining Bylaws. All other Appointive Agencies, including those who serve as
advisory bodies to City Council, should consider alternatives to Bylaws.
3. Appointive Agencies should consider the utilization of policies in lieu of bylaws,
including policies related to the election of officers.
4. Appointive Agencies that choose or are required to implement Bylaws should
consider utilizing the standard template attached as Exhibit H.
5. Appointive Agencies that adopt Bylaws will be expected to follow, enforce, and
maintain their Bylaws.
6. Appointive Agencies shall have all Policies, Bylaws, proposed Bylaws and/or
amendments to Bylaws reviewed by the City Attorney's Office.
7. To provide uniform fallback procedures, to resolve subjects of frequent ambiguity,
and to minimize adoption of separate Bylaws by multiple agencies, the following
default policy should be adopted by Council for all City Appointive Agencies:
CITIZENS COMMITTEE ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS I 23
Final Report- June 3, 2022
a. Unless otherwise specified by Ordinance, law, or bylaws, Appointive
Agencies shall elect a chair and a vice chair from among their members
annually. The chair shall plan and conduct meetings of the Appointive
Agency and perform other duties assigned and reserved to chairs by
Council, ordinance, or law. The vice chair shall temporarily perform the
duties of the chair when the chair is unavailable. Any subcommittee
established by an Appointive Agency shall be advisory to the full agency
and shall adhere to all laws governing public meetings including notice,
attendance records, and minute-keeping.
b. In the absence of specific laws, ordinances, or bylaws to the contrary a
majority of the Appointive Agency's current membership shall constitute a
quorum, subject to a minimum quorum size of three.
8. Where appropriate for the uniform functioning of City government, Council
should adopt ordinances of general applicability to Appointive Agencies, with
exceptions if needed, rather than awaiting individual Appointive Agencies to
individually adopt policies or bylaw amendments to achieve the same purpose.
MEETING REQUIREMENTS
1. Public notices for all Appointive Agency meetings shall be posted online, on the Public
Notice Meeting Board near City Council Chamber, and in the office of the department
that provides the Agency with staff support, and in any other designated places, in
accordance with state law.
2. Staff liaisons and chairs should remind appointees about public meeting law
compliance when subcommittees are formed and when gatherings outside of regular
meetings are anticipated.
3. Appointive Agencies should meet a minimum of once per year to approve their Annual
Report to City Council, confirm the status and availability of members, elect officers (if
applicable), perform financial functions (if applicable), and perform other such duties,
even if no other meetings were held or no business was conducted in the prior year.
4. Barriers should be reduced for individuals who may want to participate in or observe
meetings, including if appropriate: diversifying meeting places and times, conducting
hybrid in-person/online meetings, and streaming meetings via digital technology.
5. Training should inform appointees and liaisons that a properly-noticed public meeting
may be called to order even if a quorum is not present, unless otherwise prohibited by
law. No votes may be taken unless a quorum is present, but minutes and attendance
shall be taken, unless the chair cancels the meeting prior to calling it to order.
6. Meeting agendas should be distributed to Appointive Agency members and liaisons at
least three days prior to the meeting date. Appointive Agencies should adopt a process
CITIZENS COMMITTEE ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS I 24
Final Report- June 3, 2022
to capture meeting minutes ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Please find a suggested template attached as Exhibit I.
IMPLEMENTATION
1. The City Council should establish a standing or permanent Appointive Agency to work
with the City Clerk and the City Attorney to implement the recommendations embodied
in this document.
2. The newly established Appointive Agency shall ensure that the proposals and
recommendations in this document are prioritized correctly and amended as needed to
comply with the spirit of the proposed recommendations. This new Appointive Agency
shall also continue the mission of providing advice and recommendations to City
Council regarding the City's various Appointive Agencies and the appointment
processes.
3. City Code Section 2-451 which lists and categorizes Appointive Agencies is inaccurate
and should be revised in a manner that reflects current directives by Council and does
not render it frequently out of date in the future.

EXHIBIT C - TRAINING MODULES FOR APPOINTEES
City of Virginia Beach
Citizens Committee on Boards and Commissions
Proposed Training Modules for Appointive Agency Members
The CCBC has identified topics where training would increase the effectiveness of the City's
Appointive Agencies. Surveys of Agency chairs, liaisons, and of localities across the nation, and
especially those similar in population size to Virginia Beach, have generated topics that are
needed or commonly the subject of such training. Modular training units, often offered online,
group related topics together and break the overall training into short sessions.
The following outline is a starting point for implementing such a program in Virginia Beach.
Whether ultimately delivered via live presentation, online using PowerPoint and/or recorded
video, digitally or in writing as a Handbook, or by other methods, the outline may assist City staff
in developing content (or repurposing existing materials) by organizing the CCBC's
recommendations for training modules, rather than leaving work to begin from a blank slate.
Over time sub-topics may be added, changed, or eliminated as the City's needs evolve.
a. Virginia Beach Appointive Agency Orientation
1. City Organization
2. Roles of Appointive Agencies (including types)
3. Interacting with City Council
