CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM 1
ITEM: An Ordinance 1) Declaring a 2,529 Sq. Ft. Portion of City Property Located at
2640 Highland Meadows Way to be in Excess of the City's Needs and 2)
Authorizing the City Manager to Exchange Same for a 2,529 Sq. Ft. Portion of
the Adjacent Property Belonging to James and Wanda Cooper
PUBLIC HEARING: February 21, 2023
MEETING DATE: March 7, 2023
• Background: The City of Virginia Beach (the "City") owns a parcel of land
located at 2640 Highland Meadows Way (GPIN: 1484-23-1207), which was dedicated to
the City as part of the development of Highland Meadows Subdivision to be used as a
park (the "Park"). The City's Department of Parks and Recreation intends to install
playground equipment on the Park, however, the majority of the Park is encumbered by
wetlands, several drainage and maintenance easements, a floodplain, and a 120' wide
easement for Dominion Virginia Power for overhead power lines.
James and Wanda Cooper (the "Coopers") own a parcel of land located at 2636
Highland Meadows Way (GPIN: 1484-23-1445), which is adjacent to the Park.
Currently, a portion of the Coopers' fence and concrete patio located in the Coopers'
backyard are encroaching onto the Park.
The City and the Coopers have negotiated an exchange of a portion of each of their
respective parcels that would benefit both parties for no additional monetary
consideration. The City would convey to the Coopers approximately 2,529 sq. ft. of land
from the Park adjacent to the Coopers' backyard in exchange for the Coopers
conveying to the City an area of land of equivalent square footage from the Coopers'
property adjacent to the front entrance of the Park. The exchange would provide
adequate space for playground equipment near the entrance to the Park, outside of the
encumbrances, and would resolve the unauthorized encroachments onto the Park.
• Considerations: Each party would exchange an equal square footage of land on
the terms and conditions set forth in the Summary of Terms attached to the Ordinance.
There is no monetary consideration associated with the exchange of land. Once the
exchange is complete, the City can move forward with the construction of a playground
on the Park.
• Public Information: A public hearing will be advertised on February 5, 2023, in
The Virginian-Pilot, Beacon. The public hearing will be held on February 21, 2023.
Public notice will also be provided via the normal City Council agenda process.
• Alternatives: Approve the request as presented, deny the request, or add
conditions as desired by Council.
• Recommendations: Approval.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend Sections 6-5 of the City Code Pertaining to Animals on
the Beach and Adjacent Areas
MEETING DATE: February 21, 2023
• Background: Prior to 2014, the City Code prohibited animals on the boardwalk
during the resort season (Memorial Day to Labor Day). In March 2014, following an
endorsement by the Resort Advisory Commission ("RAC"), the City Council adopted an
ordinance requested by then-Councilmember Wilson to authorize a leashed dog, under
the control of its owner, to be on the boardwalk during the resort season (Memorial Day
to Labor Day) between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. This allowance has been a
well-received amenity to City residents and visitors, but visitors and some residents may
not know the rules for when such activity is permissible, and several hoteliers at a
recent RAC meeting stated that the off-season prohibition is costing them business.
Many hoteliers would like their properties to be pet friendly, but their guests would
complain if they were unable to walk their dogs on the boardwalk except during a four-
hour period in the morning. City residents, including those who reside in the Resort
Area, need to walk their dogs daily, regardless of the season.
• Considerations: This ordinance amends the City Code to authorize leashed
dogs, under the control of their owners, on the boardwalk between the hours of 6 a.m.
and 7 p.m. during the resort season. Expanding this access to one of the City's greatest
public amenities would benefit City residents, both of the Resort Area and the City at
large, as well as visitors and the tourism industry. The City Code does not currently
restrict the times of day when a leashed dog may be walked on the boardwalk after
Labor Day and before Memorial Day; the restriction applies only during the resort
season.
• Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal
Council agenda process.
• Recommendations: Adopt ordinance

9 BEACH, VIRGINIA:
10
11 That Section 6-5 of the Code of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, is hereby
12 amended and reordained to read as follows:
13 Sec. 6-5. Animals on beach and adjacent areas.
14 (a) For purposes of this section:
15 (1) The term "animal" shall be deemed to include, but not be limited to, any
16 mammal, bird, or reptile;
17 (2) The term "owner" means any person who: (i) has a right of property in an
18 animal; (ii) keeps or harbors an animal; (iii) has an animal in his care; (iv) acts
19 as a custodian of an animal; or (v) is in possession of an animal; and
20 (3) The term "season" means the period from 6:00 p.m. on the Friday before
21 Memorial Day through 6:00 p.m. Labor Day of each year.
22 (b) It shall be unlawful for the owner of a dog present on any sand beach to fail to
23 maintain control of the dog.
24 (c) It shall be unlawful for the owner of any animal to permit such animal to be on the
25 sand beaches from Rudee Inlet on the south to 42nd Street on the north during the
26 season.
27 (d) It shall be unlawful for the owner of any animal to permit such animal to be on the
28 boardwalk or the grassy area west of the boardwalk to the property lines during the
29 season; provided, however, that a leashed dog, under the control of the owner,
30 may be permitted on the boardwalk and the grassy area west of the boardwalk to
31 the property lines during the season between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 7
32 p.m.10:00 a.m. If the City Manager or designee concludes that an emergency,
33 adverse weather event, special event or other special circumstance causes the
34 walking of leashed dogs on the boardwalk to present a public safety risk, the City
35 Manager or designee may prohibit the walking of leashed dogs for the time period
36 necessary to protect public safety.
37 (e) It shall be unlawful for the owner of any animal to permit such animal to be on any
38 sand beach during the season; provided, however, that a dog may be permitted on
39 beaches other than the beaches listed in subsection (c) during the season between
40 the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 a.m. if leashed or under the control of the owner.
41 (f) It shall be unlawful for the owner of any animal to have the animal on Atlantic
42 Avenue, or in the parks and connector streets between Atlantic Avenue and the
43 boardwalk, from Rudee Inlet to 42nd Street, unless such animal is in an escape-
44 proof container. This provision shall not be applicable to leashed dogs.
45 (g) No owner of any animal shall knowingly or willfully permit such animal to litter any
46 sand beaches within the city or to litter the boardwalk or the grassy area west of the
47 boardwalk to the property lines from Rudee Inlet on the south to 42nd Street on the
48 north, at any time. In the event such animal shall defecate on the sand beaches
49 within the city, or on the boardwalk or the grassy area west of the boardwalk to the
50 property lines from Rudee Inlet on the south to 42nd Street on the north at any
51 time, the person who owns or has control of such animal shall immediately remove
52 all feces deposited thereon by such animal and dispose of same in a sanitary
53 manner approved by the department of public health, such as by encasing same in
54 an airtight wrapper or container and placing same in a garbage receptacle. Failure
55 to so remove said feces in accordance with the provisions of this subsection shall
56 constitute a Class 1 misdemeanor.
57 (h) Notwithstanding the above, it shall be unlawful for the owner of any animal to permit
58 such animal to be on any sand beaches within the city, at any time, unless such
59 person shall have in his possession a container of sufficient size and adequate
60 design to remove and dispose of all feces deposited thereon by such animal, in
61 accordance with the provisions of subsection (g).
62 (i) With the exception of subsections (g) and (h), the provisions of this section shall not
63 be applicable to a guide dog, hearing dog or service dog trained to accompany a
64 person with a disability while being accompanied by such person, or to any dog or
65 horse in the custody or control of a law enforcement officer while such officer is in
66 the performance of his duties.
67 (j) The provisions of this section may also be enforced by city animal control officers.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Transfer $5,000 from the General Fund Reserve for
Contingencies to Non-Departmental "Opportunity Grants" and to Authorize a
Community Services Micro-Grant to Jeanna's iFeed
MEETING DATE: February 21, 2023
• Background: Jeanna's iFeed is a Virginia nonstock corporation that has
requested a Community Service Micro-Grant in the amount of $5,000. This local non-
profit was founded in 2020 to serve the needs of underprivileged families, persons
experiencing homelessness, and seniors within the City by providing them with cooked
meals, wellness education, and care packages to help in breaking the cycle of food and
health insecurities. The organization also organizes a three-month-long skill building
session for interested members of the community. A major event carried out by the
organization to achieve its goals is the "Collab to Impact" event. The event is held on an
annual basis and provides the underserved with educational resources to improve their
health while also supplying them with food and care packages. To date, the organization
has served over 200 citizens within the City.
• Considerations: The organization's primary mode of raising funds for its activities
is through individual contributions. The "Collab to Impact" initiative is a major fundraising
event held by the organization to help fund some of the services it provides to the
community. The funds from this grant will help to cover a major portion of the estimated
$7000 cost of the "Collab to Impact" event. The funds will be used for the purchase of
meals, gas cards, toiletries, hygiene products, and other similar items that will be donated
to underprivileged families, seniors, and homeless residents of Virginia Beach. The
organization is therefore seeking assistance from the City to help fund its "Collab to
Impact" initiative.
The FY 2022-23 budget line item for the Non-Departmental "Opportunity Grants" is
$15,000. That budget line has been exhausted. Funding for this grant is recommended
to be a transfer of $5,000 from the General Fund Regular Reserve for Contingencies to
the Non-Departmental "Opportunity Grants," to support the community service micro-
grant request. If this request is approved, the balance of the General Fund Regular
Reserve for Contingencies will be $507,145.
Once awarded, it may take one to two weeks for payment to be made to the organization.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend Section 10-1 of the City Code to Change the Polling
Location for Precinct 0040 and to Request a Waiver to Administer a Split Precinct
for Precinct 0069
MEETING DATE: February 21, 2023
• Background: The Virginia Beach Electoral Board (the "Electoral Board") has
requested the City Council adopt an ordinance to move the polling location for Precinct
040 from Princess Anne High School to Union Baptist Church. Union Baptist Church is
located at 4608 South Boulevard. A map showing this location is attached. Princess
Anne High School is currently one of the schools on the list to be remodeled.
The Electoral Board also requested the City Council adopt a resolution to request the
State Board of Elections provide a waiver to administer a split precinct. Last year's
redistricting caused a split in Precinct 0069. Precinct 0069 contains Senate Districts 20
and 22 and House Districts 95 and 100.
Last, the ordinance removes obsolete text regarding the location of the Central Absentee
Precinct during the November 2022 elections and updates the name of the polling
location for Precinct 0017, which has been renamed "The Louis R. Jones Bayside
Recreation Center."
This item was deferred on February 7, 2023, to allow for the public hearing to be held on
a different meeting than the vote.
• Considerations: The polling location requested for Precinct 0040 meets the
requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The ordinance directs the Voter
Registrar to seek a certificate of no objection from the Office of the Attorney General for
the change in polling location. Provided such certificate is obtained, the polling location
change will be administered starting with the June primary election, if such primary
election is required.
• Public Information: As required by the Code of Virginia, a notice of the proposed
polling location change was published in the newspaper once a week for two consecutive
weeks. A public hearing was held on February 7, 2023, at the City Council's Formal
Sessions. An advertisement would also be placed in the newspaper prior to the June
primary election, if held. If there is no June primary election, the advertisement will be
placed prior to the November general election.
• Recommendations: Adopt the attached ordinance

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM IN
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend Chapter 35.5 of the City Code Pertaining to Commercial
Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) Financing and Resiliency Program
MEETING DATE: February 21, 2023
• Background: On October 5, 2021, the City Council authorized by ordinance the
creation of a City of Virginia Beach C-PACE Program. C-PACE offers a financing option
for commercial property owners and new construction developers to fund clean energy,
resiliency, and stormwater management improvements. Since that time the City has
contracted through cooperative procurement with a third party, Virginia PACE Authority,
to administer the program for Virginia Beach. There have been no applications received
to date.
In the fall of 2022, the Commonwealth made changes to the program that make it a
statewide uniform program, expanded the scope of covered improvements, and provides
for the City to enter into a contract with the Virginia Department of Energy ("Virginia
Energy") for the administration of the program. A revised ordinance must be adopted in
order for the City's program to be consistent with the changes made by the
Commonwealth.
C-PACE programs allow a commercial property owner to finance the up-front cost of
energy or other eligible improvements on a property and then pay the costs back over
time through a voluntary assessment. A C-PACE assessment is a debt of the property,
meaning the debt is tied to the property as opposed to the property owner(s). The C-
PACE assessment has the same priority status as local property taxes. By leveraging a
voluntary assessment lien against participating properties, C-PACE financing is generally
less expensive than commercial loans.
Eligible C-PACE properties include office, multi-family, industrial, retail, hotel, agriculture
and non-profit. Examples of eligible projects are heating and ventilation, lighting, water
pumps, insulation, solar panels, motors, roof construction, and resiliency projects that
reduce the impact to a building for water infiltration from flooding or wind-related events.
Under the revised authority from the Commonwealth, the City may adopt the statewide
C-PACE program and contract with Virginia Energy for administration of the program.
Virginia Energy has contracted with the Virginia PACE Authority (VPA) to carry out the
administration of the program on their behalf.
In addition, the changes to state law allow the city to delegate enforcement authority to
the C-PACE Capital Provider that makes the loan. This allows the City, if desired, to avoid
expending staff time and effort in the case of a default.
Additional changes allow the financing of the following types of improvements under the
revised C-PACE program:
• Safe drinking water, environmental remediation, and electric vehicle (EV)
infrastructure
• Common areas of cooperatives and Property Owner's Associations eligible
resiliency improvements that increase the capacity of a structure or infrastructure
to withstand or recover from natural disasters, the effects of climate change, and
attacks and accidents, including, but not limited to:
o Flood mitigation or the mitigation of the impacts of flooding
o Inundation adaptation
o Natural or nature-based features and living shorelines
o Enhancement of fire or wind resistance
o Microgrids, energy storage
• Considerations: The following steps could be taken:
• The City Council adopts the proposed revised ordinance.
• The City terminates its existing contract and enters into a new agreement with
Virginia Energy to administer the program.
• Virginia PACE Authority markets and promotes the program and begins to
administer the program as Virginia Energy's agent, on behalf of the City.
Without adopting this program, Virginia Beach's program would not be consistent with
existing state authority, which may make it difficult to administer.
• Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal City
Council agenda process and via the Economic Development website
(www.yesvirginiabeach.com) and the Virginia PACE Authority website
(www.virginiapace.com)

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend Sections 5-531, 21-303, 23-7.1, 23-7.5, and 27-7 and
Repeal Section 21-221 of the City Code Pertaining to Law Enforcement Officers
MEETING DATE: February 21, 2023
• Background: In Virginia, felony crimes are set forth solely in the state code, but
localities may adopt ordinances with respect to non-felony offenses such as
misdemeanors and traffic offenses. If an offense is charged under a local ordinance,
fines are returned to the locality instead of being retained by the state. The Virginia Beach
Sheriff's Office has been assisting the Virginia Beach Police Department with law-
enforcement issues at the Oceanfront and for certain events when requested by the
Police Department. Although some City Code provisions currently provide for
enforcement by "law enforcement officers," several other City Code sections currently
limit enforcement to police officers.
On January 4, 2022, the City Council deferred this item to the March 1, 2022
meeting. On March 1, 2022, the City Council indefinitely deferred this item at the request
of the Sheriff's Office pending the drafting of a comprehensive mutual aid agreement
between the Sheriff's Office and the Police Department. That agreement also is included
as part of the February 21, 2023 agenda.
• Considerations: This ordinance amends several City Code provisions to replace
references to police officers with "law enforcement officer" so sheriff's deputies also may
issue summonses for those offenses under the City Code. This ordinance also repeals
City Code § 21-221, because it is a duplicate of City Code § 23-7.5. The original version
of this ordinance also included an amendment to City Code § 38-5 regarding brandishing
firearms, but that provision has been removed from this ordinance because the related
state law specifies limits enforcement to a "police officer."
• Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal
Council agenda process. The City Council received public comment on the original
version of this ordinance during its January 4, 2022 meeting.
• Attachments: Ordinance

length that it would involve VBSO incurring significant and unbudgeted
expenses (such as overtime), the Sheriff, or their respective designee, shall
inform the Police Chief, or their designee, what expenses are anticipated in
reasonable detail prior to providing the requested resources. If VBPD agrees
to reimburse VBSO the anticipated expenses in exchange for the requested
resources, the Police Chief, or their respective designee, shall confirm in
writing.

incident or emergency.

any equipment of the Sheriff's Office that is damaged, lost, expended, or

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution to Repeal the City Council Policy for the Advertisement of Public
Notices for Tax or Fee Increases
MEETING DATE: February 21, 2023
• Background: On May 7, 2019, the City Council adopted a City Council Policy (the
"Policy") that requires the City Manager or City Clerk to seek and receive approval from
the Council prior to the placement of an advertisement of any tax or fee increase to be
considered by the City Council. A copy of this policy is attached to this agenda request.
Since the adoption of the Policy, there have been two instances in which the City Manager
has requested permission to place advertisements in advance of the introduction of the
Proposed Operating Budget. Each such instance resulted in a significant amount of
confusion among the public and concern from the members as to what was being
requested.
City staff also raised concerns about the timing of the process required by the Policy,
which does not provide adequate time for the full details of need and specifics to be
finalized. The City Manager's Proposed Budget is not finalized until March with the public
hearings taking place in April for ultimate adoption by the City Council in May. Additionally,
the approval of the advertisement has been misinterpreted by some members of the
public as an approval of the tax or a fee increase that is the subject of the advertisement.
• Considerations: The attached resolution repeals the Policy and returns the
procedure to the practice that was in use prior to 2019. Consistent with the City Charter,
the City Manager introduces a balanced budget including any ordinances necessary to
balance the budget. If one or more ordinances require a public hearing, the City Manager
undertakes the necessary steps to allow the City Council to consider such ordinance
including, where applicable, the placement of an advertisement in the newspaper. The
full discussion of the need of any potential tax or fee increase will then occur within the
context of the budget as a whole and subject to the City Council's deliberations leading
toward the budget reconciliation process.
• Public Information: Normal Council agenda process.
• Recommendations: Adopt the attached resolution.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution to Support the City's 2023 Applications for Rebuilding American
Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity Program Funding
MEETING DATE: February 21, 2023
• Background: The United States Department of Transportation's (USDOT)
Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) Program
provides federal funding assistance for surface transportation infrastructure projects that
will have a significant local or regional impact. Applications are reviewed based on the
following selection criteria: 1) safety; 2) state of good repair; 3) economic
competitiveness; 4) environmental sustainability; and 5) quality of life. RAISE is a federal
grant program, and funds are only available on a reimbursement basis. The program
includes a minimum funding split of 80% federal funds and 20% local funds. The USDOT
published a notice of funding opportunity for the 2023 RAISE Grant Program on January
3, 2023.
The Department of Public Works and Department of Parks and Recreation have identified
two projects as candidates for 2023 RAISE funding. Both projects have been submitted
in previous rounds of RAISE and were not awarded, but they are both ideal for re-
submittal.
1. Nimmo Parkway Phase VII-B — This project consists of approximately 1.5 miles
of two-lane undivided roadway with shoulders, on-road bike lanes, and a single
shared-use path. The project represents the second phase of Nimmo Parkway VII,
which has limits from Albuquerque Drive to the western terminus of the
"Sandbridge Road-Nimmo Phase VII-A" project. The project will improve access
to Sandbridge by providing an alternative route to the Sandbridge area. The project
will provide a safer and more reliable alternate route for traffic currently using
Sandbridge Road and will provide a more resilient hurricane evacuation route for
Sandbridge residents. The project will also alleviate the need to re-route traffic
through the Dam Neck Naval Base during closures of Sandbridge Road. The
project already has received State and Federal support, with the recently awarded
State and Federal earmarks totaling $13 million.
The Total Project Cost is approximately $49.4 million. The City will request $20 million in
RAISE funds and commit $4 million (20%) of local funds. The project already has
sufficient local funds currently programmed in Capital Project # 100278 to meet the local
match requirements; no additional funding is required.
Page 2 of 2
2. Virginia Beach Trail Phase I —the Virginia Beach Trail consists of a proposed 12-
mile long paved shared-use path spanning the City on a 10' wide strip of the City-
owned former Norfolk Southern railroad right-of-way. This facility will ultimately
serve pedestrians, bicyclists, wheelchair users, strollers, runners, workers,
students, families and tourists by providing a safe, non-vehicular travel corridor
from the City's border with Norfolk to the Oceanfront. Phase I of the project
includes the western-most approximately 3.2-mile segment of the trail connecting
the Hampton Roads Transit multi-modal hub at Newtown Road to Town Center
with a pedestrian/bicycling bridge over Independence Boulevard.
The Virginia Beach Trail will help address safety by separating vulnerable roadway
users from vehicular traffic. Bikeways and trails have regularly topped Virginia
Beach resident surveys of the most desired public recreational amenities because
they benefit people of all abilities and all walks of life. The Trail is aligned with
military goals for significant off-base fitness opportunities serving our large military
population. This project also will provide access to underserved populations with
high usership potential, joining Opportunity Zones, Strategic Growth Areas, and
the Central Business District and adding multi-modal transit choices between jobs,
homes, and schools.
The Total Project Cost is approximately $15.75 million. The City will request $12 million
in RAISE funds and commit $3 million (20%) of local funds. These funds would be in
addition to the recently awarded $750,000 Federal earmark. The local match for this
project is not currently appropriated and would be required upon award should the project
receive RAISE funding.
• Considerations: The RAISE Program is a grant program, and funds are available
on a reimbursement basis. The program requires that localities must first incur the
expenses and then request reimbursement. The RAISE Program also requires a
minimum 20% local match per project, which is discussed above.
The deadline for this grant application is February 28, 2023.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution to Approve the School Board's Entry into an Interim Agreement for
Design Work for Princess Anne High School, B.F. Williams/Bayside 6th, and
Bayside High School
MEETING DATE: February 21, 2023
• Background: The Public-Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act of
2002, Virginia Code §§ 56-575.1, et seq. (the "PPEA"), grants public entities the authority
to create public-private partnerships for the development of a wide range of projects
including educational facilities. The PPEA is intended to allow for timelier and more cost-
effective procurement of such facilities. For purposes of the PPEA, the School Board
meets the definition of "public entity” and "responsible public entity." The School Board
has adopted procedures for the receipt, evaluation, and award of a PPEA project. These
procedures are set forth in School Board Policy 3-71.
The Virginia Beach City Public Schools (the "VBCPS") received an unsolicited proposal
for the design and construction of Princess Anne High School, B.F. Williams/Bayside 6th,
and Bayside High School (the "Projects"). Following the required procedures under the
PPEA, the School Board accepted the unsolicited proposal and solicited competing
conceptual proposals. After review of two conceptual proposals, the VBCPS requested
detailed proposals from the two firms that submitted conceptual proposals. After review
of the detailed proposals, the VBCPS negotiated an Interim Agreement with the preferred
proposer, S.B. Ballard Construction Company.
The proposed Interim Agreement, approved by the School Board on August 9, 2022, will
provide a twelve-month performance period to develop 30% design documents for the
Projects. The Interim Agreement is in an amount not to exceed $15,404,544, which is
55% of the total design budget of the three schools and 3.6% of the total budget for the
Projects. The $15.4 million needed for this process is already appropriated within the
three projects, meaning that the School Board is not requesting additional funding at this
time.
Currently School Board is not requesting the City Council approve a comprehensive
agreement. The Interim Agreement will allow the School Board and VBCPS staff the
opportunity to evaluate the merits of a possible comprehensive agreement using
advanced design and to develop a funding plan for the debt service associated the
Projects.
This item was deferred on September 6, 2022, and October 18, 2022.
• Considerations: When a public entity is a school board, the PPEA requires the
local governing body to approve the entry into an interim or comprehensive agreement.
The proposed Interim Agreement does not require the entry into a comprehensive
agreement.
Should the School Board and VBCPS staff not wish to move forward with the Projects at
the conclusion of the Interim Agreement, the VBCPS would retain ownership of the design
documents, which could be used to develop a traditional design-bid-build procurement
for construction of the schools.
Each of these three projects are currently within the approved six-year Capital
Improvement Program (CIP); however, Bayside High School is not fully funded within the
six-year period. Therefore, a future request to approve a comprehensive agreement will
likely include a request for additional funding.
Much like the approval of the Interim Agreement, the City Council would need to approve
a comprehensive agreement prior to execution of such an agreement by the VBCPS.
In addition to the resolution requested by the Virginia Beach School Board, there is an
alternative resolution requested by Vice Mayor Wilson. This alternative resolution
includes a requirement that the designs include cost options for each facility and that the
engagement of stakeholders includes informing the public that the proposed construction
timelines associated with the PPEA process may not be financially feasible. At the
conclusion of the term of the Interim Agreement, the City Council would receive
information regarding the cost options and a financing plan that allows the construction
of the facilities without a requested tax increase or change to the City/Schools Revenue
Sharing Policy.
• Public Information: The VBCPS staff have briefed the City Council regarding this
process on at least three occasions with the most recent briefing on February 7, 2023.
This item was deferred on September 6, 2022 and October 18, 2022, and the City Council
received public comment each meeting.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution Authorizing and Directing the City Manager to Execute an
Intergovernmental Agreement Between the Virginia Department of Agriculture
and Consumer Services and the City of Virginia Beach Regarding the
Purchase of Agricultural Reserve Program Easements
MEETING DATE: February 21, 2023
• Background: In 2022, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer
Services ("VDACS") determined that the City of Virginia Beach (the "City") is eligible for
additional State funding over the next two years in the maximum cumulative amount of
$175,000.00, as reimbursement for certain costs to be incurred by the City in
connection with the purchase of farmland preservation easements under the City's
Agricultural Reserve Program ("ARP").
The City previously approved the receipt of funding from VDACS on June 24, 2008,
January 27, 2009, February 23, 2010, February 22, 2011, June 14, 2011, January 24,
2012, January 22, 2013, March 11, 2014, February 24, 2015, February 2, 2016,
February 7, 2017, February 20, 2018, June 6, 2019, February 18, 2020 and April 19,
2022. Subject to the approval of the City Council, the City staff and VDACS have
agreed upon the terms of an Intergovernmental Agreement (the "Agreement") providing
for the additional funding.
• Considerations: The Agreement provides that VDACS will reimburse the City
for certain costs of acquiring ARP easements. Costs eligible for reimbursement include:
(1) the costs of U.S. Treasury STRIPS bought by the City to fund the purchase of the
easements, (2) the cost of appraisals, (3) attorney's fees, (4) the cost of surveys, (5) title
insurance fees, (6) public notice costs and (7) recordation fees. The Agreement also
allows the City to be reimbursed for other costs that, under current practice, are not
incurred by the City in the course of acquiring ARP easements. These include certain
debt service on the financed portion of the purchase price of an ARP easement and
portions of the purchase price of an ARP easement that the City will prepay.
The Agreement also places a maximum amount on the reimbursement for any single
ARP transaction. That amount, however, is unlikely to be exceeded, and it is thus
anticipated that the City will be reimbursed in any single transaction for 50% of the costs
listed above, up to the maximum cumulative amount of $175,000.00.
• Public Information: No special advertising is required. Public information will
be handled through the normal agenda process.
• Recommendations: Adoption of Resolution

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate $48,294,167 of School Reversion and Revenue
Sharing Funds
MEETING DATE: February 21, 2023
• Background: The current City and Schools revenue sharing policy (the "Policy")
has been in place since 2019. Section 6 of the Policy outlines the process for the School
Board to request lapsed funds and overperformance of certain revenues. In accordance
with the Policy, the School Board adopted a Resolution on November 9, 2022, which is
attached hereto. The total amount that the School Board is requesting to be appropriated
by City Council is $48,294,167.
Comprising the total amount is $15,680,703 of School Operating reversion funds,
$3,746,765 of unspent debt service from the FY 2021-22 budget, $938,410 of additional
revenue over the appropriated budget, $296,396 of reverted funds from the Athletics fund,
$409,492 of reverted funds from the Green Run Collegiate Charter School fund, and
$27,222,401 due to the overperformance of revenues that comprise the Revenue Sharing
Formula.
The School Board has requested funds be appropriated in the following manner:
1. A total of$35,294,167 to be appropriated to the FY 2022-23 CIP Fund, transferred
in the form of pay-as-you-go funding:
a. $3,746,765 with a corresponding reduction in authorized but unissued.
Public Facility Revenue Bonds;
b. $5,572,862 to offset state construction grants revenue under budget as

2. $11,000,000 to be appropriated to School Reserve Special Revenue Funds to be
set-aside for Capital Project #1-018 Renovations and Replacement- HVAC Phase
III ($9,200,000) and Capital Project #1-019 Renovations — Roofing ($1,800,000)
for use in the FY 2023-24 Capital Improvement Program; and
3. $2,000,000 to be appropriated to the Risk Management fund.
This request was deferred at the December 13, 2022, City Council meeting to February
21, 2023. That deferral was to synch this request with a request to approve a PPEA
Interim Agreement.
• Considerations: The attached ordinance presents to the City Council the
proposed used of funds by the School Board. As required by the Policy, the Department
of Budget and Management Services has prepared an ordinance for the City Council to
consider the School Board's request.
• Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal City
Council agenda process. In addition, the amount of the appropriation request exceeds
1% of the Operating Budget, so a public notice was placed in the November 27, 2022,
Beacon for a public hearing held on December 6, 2022.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate Surplus Funds from a Tax Sale and Pay the Same to
the Administrator of the Estate of Leslie Ann Parker
MEETING DATE: February 21, 2023
• Background: The City Treasurer initiated the tax sale process for the property
located at 565 Water Oak Road. After court-ordered auction of the property, payment of
the costs of the tax sale, and payment of delinquent taxes and nuisance liens, there were
surplus funds in the amount of$145,285.63. After holding the surplus funds for two years,
the circuit court returned such funds to the City as provided by Virginia Code § 58.1-3967,
and such funds have resided in a liability account since this return.
The administrator of the Estate of Leslie Ann Parker, deceased, petitioned the circuit court
for release of the surplus funds, but the circuit court had already provided these funds to
the City. The administrator of the Estate of Leslie Ann Parker, deceased, has requested
the City Council approve the return of the surplus funds, and Virginia Code § 58.1-3967
requires an ordinance to grant this relief.
• Considerations: The attached ordinance appropriates the funds that were
returned to the City and authorizes payment of the funds to the administrator of the Estate
of Leslie Ann Parker. These funds were never comingled with other operating funds, so
there is no impact to City operations.
• Public Information: Normal City Council agenda processes.
• Attachment: Ordinance

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate $70,000 of Fund Balance of the General Fund for an
Incentive Grant to Old Dominion University for the Creation of the Institute of Data
Science at Town Center
MEETING DATE: February 21, 2023
■ Background: Old Dominion University (ODU) is creating a new Institute of Data
Science at Town Center (the "Institute") in collaboration with Thomas Jefferson National
Accelerator Laboratory (JLab) and NASA Langley Research Center.
The Institute of Data Science will create an opportunity to train a segment of the local
workforce for the emerging data science market. The Institute will focus on the high
growth and strong specialization areas in cybersecurity, marine engineering, and logistics
occupations. The Institute also will allow civilian and military staff opportunities to further
specialize in defense-related data science sectors including computer systems and
programming services, engineering services, and shipbuilding and repairs. It is
anticipated that ODU will employ seven new facility and host 250 students.
The buildout is projected to cost $1.8 million and would generate about $70,000 in real
estate taxes annually. To offset this cost, ODU is requesting an ongoing grant from the
City for the next ten years.
• Considerations: The attached ordinance provides for a $70,000 grant to ODU to
offset the real estate tax otherwise incurred by the leasing of this space. The landlord is
taxable for local property taxes, so the tax-exempt status of the tenant does not determine
the taxability of the space. If approved, the City Manager will program this grant into the
FY 2023-24 Operating Budget.
• Public Information: Normal City Council agenda processes.
• Attachment: Ordinance
Recommended Action: Approval

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate $3,510 from AARP and FitLot for
Instructors at the Williams Farm Outdoor Fitness Park
MEETING DATE: February 21, 2023
• Background: In 2021, the Department of Parks & Recreation received funding
from AARP and FitLot to construct an outdoor fitness park at Williams Farm Park.
Programming for the park began in the spring of 2022, and the Department received
funding in the initial grant to cover the cost of instructors for 52 classes per year. The
Department is now entering year two of programming and would like to accept additional
funds from AARP and FitLot to cover the costs of instructors.
• Considerations: By participating in this grant program, the Department of Parks
and Recreation's Fitness & Wellness Unit can continue to provide fitness and wellness
opportunities that remove the barriers of access and cost. This grant in the amount of
$3,510 will cover the cost of instructors for 52 classes that will be offered free of charge
at the FitLot at Williams Farm Park.
• Recommendations: Adopt the attached ordinance.
• Public Information: Normal City Council agenda process.
• Attachments: Ordinance
Recommended Action: Approval
