Mayor Dyer expressed his appreciation to the Vice Mayor and City Council Members for their
collaborative work on the budget. Mayor Dyer advised while the City faces challenging times ahead, he
believes the proposed budget will provide the residents with quality services.
Vice Mayor Wilson distributed copies of the joint letter, "FY 2021-22 Operating Budget and Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) Reconciliation", signed by herself and Mayor Dyer, attached hereto and
made a part of the record. Vice Mayor Wilson advised the Reconciliation Letter was emailed out earlier
today but in case anyone did not have time to read it, the Body will take a short break to allow each member
to read it now.
Council Member Holcomb disclosed he is employed by the Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office and has filed a
disclosure letter with the City Clerk.
Council Member Rouse disclosed she is employed by the Tidewater Community College and has filed a
disclosure letter with the City Clerk.
Council Member Schulman disclosed he owns two (2) businesses in Town Center; Town Center Office
Suites, LLC and his law office, Joashua F. Schulman P.C., both located at One Columbus Center in Suites
600 and 637. Council Member Schulman advised he has filed a disclosure letter with the City Clerk.

American Cultural Center, receiving no compensation,and has filed a disclosure letter with the City Clerk.
*City Council took a short break 3:35 -3:49 P.M.
Vice Mayor Wilson read the joint letter, "FY 2021-22 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program
(CIP)Reconciliation"and expressed her appreciation to the Body for their conversations and input each
provided, as well as all of the staff who were on standby to answer all of her questions.
Council Member Henley advised this year's budget is different than any budget she has been a part of and
cannot support it. Council Member Henley believes the public should be told how this budget was
developed with an explanation if it was due to the district system changes. Council Member Henley advised
tax revenue should be spent on required services and not towards community grants and non-profit
organizations, advising the Community Organization Grant (COG) Review and Allocation Committee
worked well in serving that purpose up until recent years and believes it is not fair to make some
organizations go through the application process and not others. Council Member Henley expressed she
supports non-profit organizations; however, they are no longer non profits when they are City funded.
Council Member Henley expressed her support for the reduction in Sandbridge SSD,flex leave for the Fire
Department and Real Estate Tax Relief for military surviving spouses.

(Continued)
Mayor Dyer advised Council Member Henley is a vital and respected member of this Body and believes
while this budget is different by providing funding to non-profit organizations, the funding will also provide
residents with needed services. Mayor Dyer advised with the Economic Development initiatives going
forward, there will be new revenue streams that will reduce the burden on residential property. Mayor
Dyer advised last year the Resort Area brought in $2.1-Billion in revenue.
Council Member Taylor advised when he ran for City Council, he committed to helping people and
reminded the Body of the agreements made during the last City Council Retreat. Council Member Taylor
agreed that staff has worked diligently but is unsure if his input to the budget was valued since he and three
(3) other Council Members requested other budget options and never received any and therefore does not
know if he can support the proposed budget. Council Member Taylor advised during the Budget Public
Hearings, the Body heard from many teachers who came to speak however, the Body also received fifty
(50) emails from residents in all districts to request lower taxes. Council Member Taylor referenced the
Economic Development initiatives that may lower taxes and advised, the Body had an opportunity to receive
a presentation from Norman Jenkins on the Capstone Development Project, but it was decided that it was
not the right time, and yet last week, the Body received a presentation for Project Wayne, both economic
development opportunities. Council Member Taylor referenced a memo dated April 21 S`, concerning a tax
reduction simulation tool available online and asked when the "tool"went live? Council Member Taylor
questioned if citizens knew about this tool and how to use it? Council Member Taylor reference the Atlantic
Park project and does not know if the public understands it will cost$19.5-Million in tax money and advised
the largest stake holders are the people and does not know if they have had a chance to give input. Council
Member Taylor referenced the$150,000 offered to the districts, advising it is not enough to give tax relief
and that is what people in District 8 want. Council Member Taylor advised as a freshman on the Body he
believes the budget was 90%finished when he received the first briefing and does not feel that there were
enough discussions during the budget process. Council Member Taylor expressed he does not know what
the solution is and feels this has been a challenging first budget for him.
Council Member Wooten expressed her appreciation to Council Member Taylor for sharing his perspective
as a first year Council Member as she has felt the same perspective. Council Member Wooten advised she
does not intend for any disrespect towards anyone who worked on this budget and wants to get along with
everyone. Council Member Wooten advised the budget is important and the Body serves as the architect
for it taking input from the City Manager and the public and believes there is more that can be done to
provide tax relief Council Member Wooten advised she has told the City Manager she does not support
the budget or the process. Council Member Wooten advised she remembers citizens speaking
enthusiastically about the Atlantic Park project and understands many people want it but the process of
adding the millions of dollars to the budget to pay for it needs to be more transparent.
Council Member Remick advised he will make more statements regarding the budget during the vote but
today he would like to comment on Atlantic Park. Council Member Remick advised the process for the
project in this budget began in August 2022 and the enhancements that have been added have already had

money allocated from the TIP fund. Council Member Remick advised he is happy to discuss with the Body
if they have questions.
Mayor Dyer advised since the Atlantic Park project first came forward, there have been thirty-two (32)
public engagements held by Venture Realty. Mayor Dyer advised with the challenges of COVID and
inflation, some things changed but now the project is nearing the finish line and it is important to see it
completed. Mayor Dyer advised once it is finished, there will be an analysis completed with what the
barriers to success were in order to improve future projects.
Vice Mayor Wilson asked City Manager Duhaney to provide the budget process going forward with the
legal requirement as it impacts the Schools and getting it in print for the public to review. Vice Mayor
Wilson advised the $150,000 in unrealized interest income is provided to each District to fund something
the District representative was passionate about. Vice Mayor Wilson advised this was a challenging budget
with nine(9)projects cut.
City Manager Duhaney advised City Council is legally required to pass the budget on or before May 15`h
in order for Schools to meet their legal requirement for an adopted budget by May 15`h. City Manager
Duhaney advised the next scheduled City Council meeting is on May 16`h, therefore a Special Session is
scheduled on May 9th to consider the proposed budget. City Manager Duhaney further advised the Agenda
for May 9`h must be posted by May 4rh
Council Member Schulman advised he is one(1)of five (5)new Council Members who were elected in the
middle of this year's budget process and expressed his appreciation to the City Manager and staff who
have provided written responses to answer all of the questions asked by the Body, adding it has been
incredibly helpful. Council Member Schulman advised for him, the budget boiled down to the question of
Real Estate Tax relief and the needs of the Schools, Public Safety personnel and hiring an additional forty
Emergency Management Service(EMS)personnel. Council Member Schulman explained by reducing the
Real Estate Tax by one (1) cent is equivalent to an annual savings of$25.00, based on a $250,000 home.
Council Member Schulman advised 46.75% of Real Estate Taxes goes to the Schools budget and if it is
reduced then it will impact teacher retention which is already a problem. Council Member Schulman
referenced the Atlantic Park project and advised he hopes the public understands the money the City
allocated is to build public facilities and the Atlantic Park project will be a state of the art entertainment
venue for residents and visitors.
Council Member Henley expressed her disappointment that she did not know each district would be
allocated$150,000 until yesterday and believes it should have been known to the public before the Budget
Public Hearings in order to be transparent.

Mayor Dyer expressed his appreciation to the Body for the discussion. Mayor Dyer expressed he
understands that having a consensus on the budget is rarely obtainable, since nobody receives all that they
request, but is hopeful with the sacrifices made, the overall budget will prove to be successful. Mayor Dyer
advised the process for the next budget will begin in September and is open to suggestions on how to
improve the process.

Members of City Council
Subject: FY 2023-24 Resource Management Plan Reconciliation
Dear City Council Members:
On March 21, 2023,the City Manager presented the Proposed FY 2023-24 Operating Budget and
Capital Improvement Program(CIP). Since that time,through a series of City Council workshops,
including briefings from individual departments and Capital Improvement Program section
managers,we have worked diligently as a collective body to finalize a budget that meets the needs
of the community. Through those workshop meetings, as well as valuable input from the
community at public hearings, emails to City leadership, digital participation through Balancing
Act, SpeakUp VB, and via social media, recommended changes to the Proposed Budget are
outlined below.
1. To honor the sacrifice of military families within our community, it is recommended that
the real estate tax rate for surviving spouses of military service members who died in the
line of duty be reduced to$0.000001(one millionth of one cent)per$100 of assessed value.
It is estimated this rate reduction will reduce real estate revenue by$89,040.This reduction
in revenue will be fully absorbed by the General Fund and will not be shared with Virginia
Beach City Public Schools.
2. Reduce the Sandbridge Real Estate tax rate by 10, decreasing the FY 2023-24 Real Estate
Tax revenue within the Sandbridge Special Services District (SSD) Fund by $172,973.
This reduction in revenue will be offset through an equivalent reduction in the Sandbridge
SSD's reserve for contingencies. Due to the healthy performance of lodging tax revenues
dedicated to the fund, as well as anticipated federal cost sharing in the amount of$22.2
million for the next phase of sand replenishment, this reduction in real estate tax revenue
is not anticipated to negatively impact the sand replenishment cycle or prevent the current
practice of having two replenishments fully funded. In FY 2023-24 the total Sandbridge
SSD real estate tax rate will be$1.00 per$100 of assessed value,which comprises the 990
citywide base tax rate and the 10 SSD tax rate.

3. Following the financial close-out of FY 2022-23 in August 2023, the City Manager shall
report to the City Council the actual revenue collections for Business, Professional, and
Occupational License (BPOL) tax compared to the budgeted estimates for both FY 2022-
23 and FY 2023-24. The report should provide options for consideration for amending the
threshold for businesses beginning in January 2024 in the event updated projections reflect
higher than budgeted estimates. If capacity exists,the options should be budget neutral and
not necessitate a need for a reduction in expenditures.
4. The City Manager shall provide a report to the City Council regarding the real estate
surcharge within the Town Center Special Service District (SSD), providing options on
amending the existing tax rate within the district to ensure residential and commercial
properties are equitably charged for the level of enhanced services they receive through the
SSD.
It is further recommended by this body that the Operating Budget be adopted on May 9,2023,with
the following additional adjustments.These adjustments provide needed support to our community
partners and enhance the quality of life within the City.
5. Increase Non-Departmental Regional Grants by$20,000 to provide a one-time contribution
to Men of Faith's 1Died4All basketball camp.This event will be held at the Virginia Beach
Sports Center and children who attend this camp will be provided with a basketball camp
experience that includes technical skill improvement as well as mentorship.

contribution to support the SonRise Christian Music Festival to be held in Virginia Beach
in September 2023 at the 24th Street Stage at the Oceanfront.
7. Increase Non-Departmental Regional Grants by$75,000 to provide a one-time contribution
to the Center for Global Diplomacy for workforce development training, exercise and
wellness coaching, senior citizen workshops, and food packaging and distribution.

ADA compliant) in the parking lot at Fentress Avenue and Oceanfront Avenue. This

homeowners are experiencing a high volume of beachgoers who want access to their
restroom facilities.
26. Establish a dedicated reserve within the General Fund in the amount of$150,000. This
funding is expected to be split between Economic Development and Public Works for the

27. Increase the Resort Management Division of the Convention and Visitor's Bureau by
$100,000 to provide an additional contribution to the Virginia Beach Neptune Festival to
support the Boardwalk Weekend during the last weekend of September. This investment
will bring the City's annual contribution to the event to a total of$375,000. This level of
funding is the same as approved by City Council through a mid-year adjustment in FY
2022-23.
28. The City Manager is hereby authorized to amend the flexible holiday value to 24 hours for
the Fire Department as presented to the City Council in March 2023 as Option la. This
will reduce the amount of annual leave needed to have an entire shift off of work when
utilizing flexible holiday leave. In addition, the amount of sick leave earned monthly by
sworn members of the Fire Department shall be modified from 11.2 hours to 12.0. This
will provide additional monthly accrual of leave and ease administrative management of
sick leave accrual and usage of leave throughout the course of the year. This change will
result in a higher number of days eligible for sick leave payout upon retirement.
29. The Department of Parks of Recreation shall develop and present a plan for City Council's
consideration to mitigate and address invasive species vegetation such as bamboo.Bamboo
is on the Commonwealth of Virginia's invasive plants list because the plant, and its
complex horizontal root system, aggressively spreads and can be destructive to the natural
environment and suppress native plant species.
Following the City Manager's Proposed Budget, several other items are recommended to be
amended during Reconciliation to better align resources with the community need and to
amend departmental revenue estimates based on additional information provided by the state
and federal governments. These changes are within Human Services, the Department of
Housing and Neighborhood Preservation,and Virginia Beach City Public Schools.
30. In order to improve efficiencies and ensure critical services are being provided by the
Department of Human Services' Developmental Services Division, it is recommended that
ten part-time positions be converted to five full-time. This change will have no impact on
the operating budget but will improve service delivery within the department. Many of the
services provided are either mandated or provide services to vulnerable populations that
are essential for the health and safety of those served. The recently reported vacancy rate
is approximately 26%, which significantly impacts workloads, quality, and the overall
ability to provide necessary services.
31. The Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation has been notified of their
award from the federal Department of Housing. This amount is $434,843 greater than the
amount estimated within the City Manager's Proposed Budget and will be used for
increased contracted manpower and overall programmatic support.

32. At their March 7, 2023, meeting, the School Board approved an additional $4,017,393 in
estimated state revenue to the School Operating Budget. Due to the timing of this addition,
it was not incorporated within the City Manager's Proposed Operating Budget. Though the
Commonwealth has not yet adopted a budget for the upcoming fiscal year, this amount is
closely in line with the budget as proposed by the House of Delegates. This estimate shall
be approved by the City Council,and once the Commonwealth adopts a budget,additional
changes to state revenue may be necessary.
It is further recommended that the FY 2023-24 through FY 2028-29 Capital Improvement Program
be adopted as presented by the City Manager with the following modifications.
33. At the March 21,2023, City Council meeting,the initial phase-in of Sheriff's Office Body
Worn Cameras was authorized. In order to provide cameras to an additional 280 Sheriff's
Deputies, $1,172,606 is recommended to be included within Project 100656 "Sheriff's
Office Body Worn Cameras" in year-one of the CIP. The funding source for this increase
is fund balance of the General Fund. This will allow for increased safety, accountability,
and transparency within the Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office.
34. Provide an additional$380,000 of General Fund pay-as-you-go funding to Project 100632
"Parks Infrastructure & Underdeveloped Parks" in year-one for enhancements at Oak
Springs Park and Pine Meadows Park, and well as for pickleball courts located within
Birchwood Malibu Park.
35. Establish Capital Improvement Project 100665 "Employee Engagement Tool" within the
Information Technology section of the CIP and increase year-one funding by $75,000,
supported by pay-as-you-go funding from the General Fund. This project will improve
employee communications and enhance employee engagement within the organization.
36. The City Manager is hereby directed to conduct an updated Shore Drive Corridor Plan.
This plan has not been updated since 2000 and will provide community input on the future
redevelopment of the corridor. Funding for this initiative will be through existing
appropriations within Project 100399"Strategic Development Projects."
37. In order to progress the Atlantic Park Development project, a total of $14,078,900 in
funding is being redirected within the Economic and Tourism Development section of the
CIP and authorized for use in Phase I of the Project. Authorized for use and transfer in
Phase I is $1,500,000 from Project 100148 "Atlantic Park Streetscape" to Project 100606
"Atlantic Park Offsite Infrastructure" with the remaining $12,578,900 being
redirected in year 1 of the CIP from Project 100629 "Sports Tourism Facilities &
Infrastructure" (a) to Project 100146 "Atlantic Parks Entertainment Venue" in the amount
of $6,360,614, and (b) to Project 100606 "Atlantic Park Offsite Infrastructure" in the
amount of$6,218,286.

Page 17
A portion of the funding redirected to Project 100606"Atlantic Park Offsite Infrastructure"
is in an effort to avoid unnecessary re-design of certain Project components related to
utilities;however,should redesign become necessary and this portion of the transfer not be
needed the City Manager is authorized to transfer an amount not to exceed$3,900,000 from
Project 100606 "Atlantic Park Offsite Infrastructure" to Project 100147 "Atlantic Park
Parking"or utilize existing funds available within Project 100147"Atlantic Park Parking"
to address additional parking deck construction needs. Within 30 days after any such
transfer or use of funds, the City Manager will provide a report expressing the intent,
reasoning, and amount to be transferred.
38. Increase funding for 100629"Sports Tourism Facilities and Infrastructure"by$12,578,900
in year two of the six-year CIP with Public Facility Revenue Bonds increased accordingly.
Sliding funding previously programmed for this project into year two of the CIP will allow
for additional planning, evaluation, and public input on project plans. With the restoration
of these funds in year-two,the project remains fully funded at$19,500,000.
39. In order to reflect actual amounts to be reimbursed by the Commonwealth and federal
government, $2,100,000 in total funding ($420,000 from the Commonwealth and
$1,680,000 from the federal government) shall be reduced from Project 100057
"Centerville Turnpike Phase II."This project remains fully funded at$77.4 million,despite
this adjustment, as the total project cost was previously overstated.
40. At the recommendation of the City Attorney's Office, ten Capital Improvement Project
detail sheet project scopes are recommended to be amended within FY 2023-24 CIP.These
edits clarify the public nature of certain improvements contemplated within the
projects. This recited public purpose is useful in the event that site acquisition is needed
for the projects. Attached are the detail sheets for each of these projects, along with the
amended verbiage highlighted.
Additional details about the funding sources and appropriation adjustments outlined in this letter
are identified on the attachments.
We want to thank the members of the community who participated in public hearings or weighed
in on social media or other platforms to offer their comments on the FY 2023-24 Operating Budget
and CIP as well as the staff members who made every effort to respond to our requests for
information. If you have any questions or concerns,please contact us directly.

organization will receive funding.
Organizations are required to submit a brief narrative description of the progress that is being made
toward achieving the goals outlined in the grant application. These brief narrative reports, ordinarily no
longer than a page in length, are to be submitted with the interim and final Summary of Services reports

grant. This section compares the amounts at the time of the grant submission with the actual or
revised amounts based on the grant award.
• The first line indicated the number of unduplicated individuals to be served by the program.
Unduplicated means one individual can only be counted one time for each program he
participates in, even if he received benefits from that same program several times. If that same
individual participates in another program, then he may be counted again for that different
program. You may modify this line as needed. For example, a program that deals with homeless
youth may change this line to say, "Number of residential shelters for youth ages 9 to 18."
After entering the population to be served, enter the specific service or outcome.
• In column 1 list the proposed Services/Outcomes (e.g., pounds of emergency food distributed).
• In column 2 enter the amount for the total program requested (e.g., $11,667,000).
• In column 3 enter the amount for Virginia Beach residents only for the program requested (e.g.,
2,077,000).
• The amounts in columns 2 and 3 should generally match those in your original grant submission.
The amounts in columns 4 and 5 are based on actual and projected date through June 30.
• In column 4 enter the amount for the total program based on the grant award.
• In column 5 enter the amount for Virginia Beach residents only based on the grant award.
• If there are large differences between the projected and revised amounts, please explain in Part
2. For example, there may be a difference if only a portion of the grant requested was awarded.
If you have questions about the kind of information that is being requested, please call the
Department of Budget and Management Services at 385-8234.

Description and Scope
Video technology is becoming a mainstay of modern-day life with advancing surveillance and security requirements expected by the community at large.
With this effort,the Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office(VBSO)wants to improve and heighten safety and security for the Virginia Beach Correctional Center
(VBCC),the Courts,and Civil Processing,while additionally being a force multiplier to the Virginia Beach Police Department(VBPD).VBSO would like to
issue body worn cameras(BWC)to all sworn staff members which include the Correctional Center,the Court buildings,and the Civil Process Division.
Purpose and Need
To improve and heighten safety and security,the VBSO needs a way to capture and store video of activities that occur in VBCC,courts,civil processing,
and while being a force multiplier to the VBPD.This initiative would also allow VBSO to improve upon their situational awareness,help confirm and guide
response recommendations for incidents,and provide opportunity for tactical decision making.It would also integrate with the VBSO video wall,as well as
the City's Emergency Operations Center when needed.
History and Current Status
This project first appeared in the FY 2023-24 CIP document and was approved by City Council on March 21,2023.

Description and Scope
This project funds the design,construction and replacement of existing parks and recreation capital replacement backlog as well as implementing
improvements and additions to underdeveloped park sites per the Parks Needs Assessment&Development Strategy which will be completed in March
2023.In FY24,projects include increased costs for Pungo Ferry Landing and PAAC Sports Managements Office,replacement of restroom building at
Lynnhaven and Red Wing Parks,boardwalk railing replacement at Beach Garden Park,parking lot repairs at Great Neck Park,and replacement of public
restroom sinks at PAAC.
Purpose and Need
The current funding mechanisms in place to address the parks and recreation capital replacement is insufficient. To make significant gains in addressing
this backlog,additional funds are needed.In addition,underdeveloped park sites do not offer recreational opportunities for all ages and abilities.In many
instances,a neighborhood park site will only consist of a small shelter and playground for children with nothing to offer teens,adults,or seniors. To
enhance health and wellness opportunities throughout the parks system,funds to increase the availability of a variety of park amenities is needed.
History and Current Status
This project first appeared in the FY 2022-23 CIP as a new program and is based on the Parks Needs Assessment&Development Strategy,which was
completed in February 2022.

Description and Scope
The City of Virginia Beach does not use any type of two-way employee engagement tool to entice or manage staff interaction,promote employee surveys
or polls,or to allow employees to subscribe to information by interest.Beachnet,SharePoint,Outlook,and Microsoft Teams are the most widely used
solutions the City has for employees to view content,become informed,and interact with each other.Unfortunately,these tools are not currently linked to
monitor,measure and discover employee sentiment via a single platform,thus creating data gaps to drive informed decisions.To improve employee
Communications,ensure information is reaching the workforce,and to increase overall employee engagement with the organization,Communications
had recommended the selection and procurement of an employee engagement platform.This need has been identified in 4 main areas:Recovery Stat,
Strategic Plan,Process Improvement Steering Committee(PISC),and by way of an Employee Poll.The recommendation is for the City to move forward
with Sociabble as their Employee Engagement Tool.Sociabble is a mobile-friendly,enterprise employee engagement solution for internal
communications and employee advocacy.
Purpose and Need
Implementing an employee engagement platform,would allow employees to be collaborative,engage the business by providing likes,comments,sharing
of content,and participation in surveys and polls.An Employee Engagement Tool would also provide employees with a one-stop platform where access
to knowledge bases can be provided to non-user generated or user-generated content,and information regarding City news and events.The tool also can
be used for"Social Selling"recruitment efforts to save the City in advertising spend by utilizing employees to create and share recruitment content.

Description and Scope
This project includes the design and construction of a regional stormwater management facility.The Regional Stormwater Management Facility has
potential to provide stormwater management,both water quality treatment and quantity management,to address flooding of streets,for the future
redevelopment of private properties that front the south side of 17th Street between North Birdneck Road and Cypress Avenue within the service area of
the facility.The project includes improvements to the stormwater system along 17th Street east to Washington Avenue and additional improvements to the
east and west of the new facility to redirect stormwater to the proposed stormwater pond.The project includes improvements to the downstream
stormwater system to discharge the stormwater from this new pond.Improvements to the downstream stormwater system will require acquisition of
permanent drainage easements.Some of the stormwater that is redirected will result in discharging stormwater from land that previously discharged to
the Lynnhaven River watershed and redirecting it to the Rudee Inlet watershed.The project includes new stormwater management facilities on the north
side of 17th Street to offset water quality reduction impacts to existing stormwater management facilities.This wet pond,a VA Best Management Practice
Clearinghouse Level 2,will remove nutrients,sediment,and bacteria from stormwater prior to being discharged to Rudee Inlet.
Purpose and Need
The City's Stormwater Management Ordinance requires redevelopment projects increasing impervious cover to offset the resulting increased runoff
during and following heavy rainfall events with stormwater quantity and quality solutions.Future re-development within the drainage area would require
stormwater management solutions and could potentially take advantage of the flood storage and stormwater quality benefits provided by this proposed
regional stormwater management facility to improve public safety and promote economic development in the area.This project would incentivize
development along 17th Street by reducing or eliminating the amount of stormwater management facilities developers would be required to construct,
operate,and maintain on their own property.In turn,the resources that would have been channeled into stormwater management can be used in ways
that would improve public safety and generate more economic benefits for the property owner and the City of Virginia Beach.The project would also meet
all or a part of the stormwater management requirements for public projects in the area.
History and Current Status
This project first appeared in the FY2022-2023 CIP.A Technical Memorandum to analyze this project's potential benefits and feasibility was developed in
December 2021 as part of a supplement to the 17th Street Phase II(CIP 100002)Preliminary Engineering Report.This project is funded by the Tourism
Investment Program Fund.

Description and Scope
This project continues the multi-faceted program designed to retain Naval Air Station Oceana as the East Coast Master Jet Base in Virginia Beach.The
annual program costs include acquisition of property and easements to complete program goals and costs associated with the zoning measures that
continue to stop and roll back incompatible development around the base and maintenance of acquired properties.Project funding will be provided on an
annual basis using proceeds generated by the sale or lease of City property in APZ-1 and the Interfacility Traffic Area(ITA)and the sale to the U.S.Navy
of restrictive easements over City land in the ITA,which properties were acquired by the City through this project and the previous project 9-060 Oceana
&Interfacility Traffic Area Conformity&Acquisition.
Purpose and Need
This project provides support for the Federal Defense Base Realignment and Closure Commission(BRAC)directives,which were issued on August 24,
2005,and became law in November 2005.This project supports Council's priorities related to economic development and land use conformity with the
U.S.Navy.
History and Current Status
This project first appeared in the FY 2015-16 CIP.It provides follow-up and closure to the initial state-supported project 100282 Oceana&ITA Conformity,
which was shown as completed in the FY 2015-16 CIP.In the FY 2016-17 CIP,$1,000,000 in City funding from appropriations to date were transferred
from this project to project 9-037 APZ-1 Economic Incentives.Also in the FY 2016-17 CIP,the remaining balance and associated revenues from the
previous project,9-060,were transferred to this project to consolidate funding.In the FY 2019-20 CIP,$4,958 in BRAC sale of property revenue was
reduced from the project.

Description and Scope
This project funds the acquisition and associated due diligence costs for real estate planned for preservation or future public purposes including
stormwater handling,watershed protection,and recreation.Acquired sites may remain natural areas or preserve flood plains,act as stormwater
management facilities,be conserved/preserved for tree canopy and protection of natural resources,or be improved and used as passive recreation
facilities(trails,public waterway access sites,or other outdoor passive recreational purposes).
Purpose and Need
The need for open space acquisition and conservation in the Southern Rivers Watershed has been identified as a worthwhile nature-based solution within
the Sea Level Wise Adaptation Strategy. The study cites an opportunity for landowners and residents of properties that border Back Bay,North Landing
River,and others in the Southern Rivers Watershed to conserve the natural assets of the waterway through a conservation easement or by voluntarily
selling their property to the City. Benefits of this acquisition program are tax benefits for the landowner conserving the land,conservation of habitat and
watersheds and providing a water sink during flood and storm events to improve stormwater management.
History and Current Status
This project first appeared in the FY 2020-21 CIP.
Operating Budget Impact Comments
Operating budget impacts as a result of this program will vary depending on the size and composition of the property acquired and any ongoing
maintenance requirements(if applicable).

MOMENT OF SILENCE
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.
May 2, 2023

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 ofDixon 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.
