What is a "Mobility Plan"?
A Mobility Plan is a comprehensive look at all
transportation modes to support the movement of
people and goods. It serves as a blueprint for how a
community intends to transition from a dominant focus
on moving cars to a more balanced focus on safely
moving people in ways that reflect today's needs and
the community's desires for the future.

Here is the Background:
Background
• City Police (VBPD) and Sheriffs(VBSO) have utilized the old
Seatack Elementary School (Built in 1951) for training
purposes since 2000
• The Law Enforcement Training Academy(LETA) is one of three
sites utilized (Creeds Training Facility&Academi in Moyock,
NC)for the training of these officers
• The LETA facility is relatively unchanged since its utilization as
an elementary school
• The LETA facility is currently being leased to the City, by the VB
School District
• Site includes Pathways and VB Treasurer Satellite Office �/p
.F1uvArte�] yp
The next two (2)slides provide facility issues:
Issues
• The building is over 50 years old and does not contain
enough room or technology to adequately serve its
intended purpose
• Most facilities(including restrooms) were constructed and
outfitted with fixtures for elementary aged children
• The school is prone to flooding under storm events and is
subject to jet noise issues
• The facility lacks the appropriate security measures to
protect students, staff and equipment
January 10, 2023
48
CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFINGS
LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING ACADEMY(LETA) FACILITY
ITEM#73680
(Continued)
Issues
• In addition to flooding, there are leaks in various parts of
the building
• LETA is designed to hold multiple training evolutions
simultaneously, but the parking area does not support
this
• The field behind LETA is used by Parks and Rec for
community youth recreation. This inhibits weekend
training evolutions
• While no dedicated space is provided, the facility is used
for community events
