The original contract and 2nd deed of trust on the property define what the original buyer must do if they desire to sell . The following slides define how the "2"d" and any subsequent sales take place. 9 "Second Sales" Sale by the Original Owner There are three possible options for the second sales; in two of them, we preserve future affordability. F 1 ) Allow another eligible buyer to repurchase. Since we have the right to repurchase, we would normally re-assign that right to a buyer in the pool of eligible buyers. 2) If there were no buyers at the time, we might buy and hold the unit for a short time and then re-sell. 3) If the unit was determined to be unaffordable, we could permit a sale on the open market. F All sales are at market value determined either by appraisal or by the market. 10 Step 6A : of WFH U (if owner wishes to sell and city wishes to preserve affordability) 1 . Owner notifies City i 5.

City releases owner from repurchase requirement. • City would release where FMV appreciation of unit less WFH Discount and Shared Appreciation exceeds affordability for eligible buyers. • In such cases, City must decide whether to supplement the discount or release unit to open market. 2. Owner sells unit to private buyer at whatever sale price is agreed to 3. Owner pays off WFH 2ND Mortgage plus Shared Appreciation from sale proceeds. 4. Funds received by City are deposited in WFH Revolving Fund. 15 WFH Rental Developments 1 . A developer wanting to develop rental housing with WFH units as part of it goes through the same application and review process as a for-sale development. 2. The developer/owner and City enter into a compliance agreement defining the below market rents and eligibility requirements for renters of the WFH units. 3. Eligible renters must locate and qualify for units on their own, and sign their own lease agreements with the developer/owner. 4. The developer/owner provides annual reports and the City does on-site monitoring to verify compliance with WFH market rents and eligibility requirements. 5. This is very similar to many existing rental housing programs. 16 WFH Program Principles 1 Minimize costs while insuring protection of all parties r Transparency of all program actions via advisory board review and Council approval r Semi-annual adjustment of income and cost tables, as well as review of any program issues via advisory board and council Effective oversight and compliance to insure quality outcomes for all 17 WFH Additional Steps 6 City Council appoints Advisory Board Ordinance to establish WFH Revolving Fund �- Development of agreement with city's agent for program operation and fees r Development of all forms, procedures, and legal. documents 18 Workforce Housing Program Yoi t Questinns and ( n ,mments Thank you ! 19 y P 1 AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CITY ZONING 2 ORDINANCE BY AMENDING SECTION 102, ESTABLISHING 3 THE WORKFORCE HOUSING OVERLAY DISTRICT; 4 AMENDING SECTION 900, PERTAINING TO THE 5 LEGISLATIVE INTENT OF THE B-4 MIXED USE DISTRICT, 6 THE B-4C CENTRAL BUSINESS MIXED USE DISTRICT AND 7 THE B-4K HISTORIC KEMPSVILLE AREA MIXED USE 8 DISTRICT; AND BY ADDING A NEW ARTICLE 20, 9 CONSISTING OF SECTIONS 2000 THROUGH 2O06, 10 PERTAINING TO DEFINITIONS, APPLICABILITY, 11 PERMITTED USES, DENSITY BONUSES, PLAN 12 REQUIREMENTS AND REQUIRED FEATURES OF 13 DEVELOPMENT IN WORKFORCE HOUSING OVERLAY 14 DISTRICTS 15 16 Sections Amended: City Zoning Ordinance Section 102 and 17 900 18 19 Sections Added: City Zoning Ordinance Sections 2000 - 2006 20 21 WHEREAS, the public necessity, convenience, general welfare and good zoning 22 practice so require; 23 24 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF 25 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: 26 27 That Section 102 of the City Zoning Ordinance is hereby amended by 28 establishing the Workforce Housing Overlay District, and a new Article 20, consisting of 29 Sections 2000-2006, is hereby added, pertaining to definitions, applicability, permitted 30 uses, density bonuses, plan requirements and required features of development in 31 Workforce Housing Overlay Districts, which shall read as follows: 32 33 Sec. 102.

It is intended that any uses 72 likely to create friction with these proposed types of activities will be discouraged. This 73 district is not intended for general application throughout the city. The purpose of the B- 74 3A Pembroke Central Business Core District is to optimize development potential for a 75 mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented, urban activity center with mid- to high-rise structures 76 that contain numerous types of uses, including business, retail, residential, cultural, 77 educational and other public and private uses. The B-3A district is intended to comprise 78 publicly accessible community open space areas, generally reflective of the concepts 79 identified in the city's Comprehensive Plan and the Pembroke Central Business District 80 Master Plan. Requests for rezonings to the B-3A Pembroke Central Business Core 81 District shall be limited within the area bound by Independence Boulevard, Jeanne 82 Street, Constitution Drive and the Norfolk-Southern Railroad right-of-way. As to those 83 buildings and structures rendered nonconforming by a rezoning to B-3A, it is the intent 84 of the City Council to encourage their appropriate expansion or renovation by resolution, 85 as set forth in section 105, in order to effectuate the intent of this section. This district is 86 not intended for general application throughout the city. The purpose of the B-4 Mixed 87 Use District is to provide for retail and commercial service facilities and residential uses, 88 including high-quality workforce housing in appropriate areas within the district 89 including Strategic Growth Areas, in those areas of the city where a mixture of such 2 90 uses is desirable and recommended by the policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The 91 purpose of the B-4C Central Business Mixed Use District is to provide an area that 92 complements the B-3A Pembroke Central Business Core District through quality mixed 93 use development at intensities and patterns that support multiple modes of 94 transportation, higher residential densities, including high-quality workforce housing in 95 appropriate areas within the district, and an integrated mix of residential and non- 96 residential uses within the same building or on the same lot. Requests for rezonings to 97 the B-4C Central Business Mixed Use District shall be limited to the area surrounding 98 the B-3A Pembroke Central Business Core District and generally bounded by Thalia 99 Creek on the east, Interstate 264 on the south, Aragona Boulevard on the west, and 100 Jeanne Street and Broad Street on the north. Development within the B-4C Central 101 Business Mixed Use District should adhere to the Comprehensive Plan's Mixed Use 102 Development Guidelines. The purpose of the B-4K Historic Kempsville Area Mixed Use 103 District is to provide an area that complements the adjoining residential neighborhoods 104 through quality mixed use development at intensities and patterns that support multiple 105 modes of transportation, higher residential densities, including high-quality workforce 106 housing in appropriate areas within the district, including Strategic Growth Areas and 107 an integrated mix of residential and non-residential uses within the same building or on 108 the same lot. Rezonings to the B-4K Historic Kempsville Area Mixed Use District shall 109 be limited to property within the area generally bounded by Kempsville Heights and 110 Kempsville Lake to the north, Cedar Run Canal to the south, Kempsville Gardens and 111 Kempsville Manor to the east, and Eastern Branch of the Elizabeth River to the west. 112 Development within the B-4K Historic Kempsville Area Mixed Use District shall conform 113 to the Comprehensive Plan's Mixed Use Development Guidelines and the Historic 114 Kempsville Area Master Plan or, in the event of a conflict, shall conform to the Historic 115 Kempsville Area Master Plan. 116 117 COMMENT 118 119 The amendments add the provision of high-quality workforce housing in appropriate 120 locations to the legislative intent of the B-4 Mixed Use, B-4C Central Business Mixed Use and B-4K 121 Historic Kempsville Area Mixed Use Districts. 122 123 ARTICLE 20. WORKFORCE HOUSING 124 125 Sec. 2000. Purpose and intent. 126 127 The purpose and intent of this Article is to encourage the development of high- 128 quality housing that is: (1) affordable by households with annual incomes of between 129 80% and 120% of Area Median Income (AMI); or (2) for rental purposes by households 130 with annual incomes of between 60% and 90% of AMI adjusted for family size who live 131 or work in Virqinia Beach;. Because such households generally, although not uniformly, 132 consist of one or two working members such housing is termed "workforce housing." In 133 order to accomplish that goal, this Article establishes incentives for the construction of 134 workforce housing in areas of the City, including Strategic Growth Are in which the 135 Comprehensive Plan recognizes increased density to be _apprpbrqjjej Equally 3 136 importantly, this Article also ensures that workforce housing will be well-designed, of 137 high quality, and well-integrated into the overall development of which it is a component. 138 139 COMMENT 140 141 The new section states the purpose and intent of the ordinance, which is to provide 142 incentives for the development, in areas of the City where the Comprehensive Plan recognizes that 143 increased density is appropriate, of high-quality, affordable housing for persons meeting the 144 income guidelines set forth in the section. 145 146 Sec. 2001. Findings. 147 148 The City Council hereby finds that: 149 150 (a) Housing prices have risen much faster than incomes during the past few 151 years, thereby eliminating for many people, the option of purchasing a home, and for 152 others, the option of renting without causing an undue financial burden; 153 154 (b) The most effective approach to preserving the quality of the City's housing 155 and neighborhoods is to maintain and improve upon their diversity. This diversity 156 includes the type value and design of housing and neighborhoods, which in turn, helps 157 the City meet its goals for a quality physical environment, family and youth opportunities 158 and economic vitality. In addition people from a variety of cultures, backgrounds, ages, 159 races and capabilities will have greater opportunities to find and retain safe, decent and 160 affordable housing; 161 162 (c) The planning and creation of mixed-income and mixed-use developments 163 will advance the City's goal of providing diverse, high-quality and affordable housing in 164 desirable neighborhoods. Allowing a greater mix of incomes within neighborhoods 165 increases the affordability of housing and reduces the isolation of income groups. 166 Further, mixed-use developments are beneficial in the long run because they broaden 167 housing opportunities, increase residents' access to nearby employment and provide a 168 better land use arrangement to accommodate alternative, cost-effective transportation 169 systems. 170 171 (d) Without an adequate supply of workforce housing, employees of local 172 businesses would be forced to live in places that are distant from the workplace, thereby 173 causing financial and social stress upon the families of such employees. In addition, an 174 inadequate supply of workforce housing would discourage prospective businesses from 175 locating in Virginia Beach; and 176 177 (e) Workforce housing is not housing of inferior quality or design, nor will it 178 adversely affect the value of homes in the vicinity. As required by the provisions of this 179 Article, the exterior of workforce housing units will be essentially indistinguishable from 180 non-workforce housing units of the same housing type and the overall quality of 181 construction of the interior of workforce housing units will be comparable to that of non- 4 a 182 workforce housing units. Workforce housing units within mixed-use developments, will 183 be subject to applicable design standards set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. In 184 addition, workforce housing units will be integrated into the residential component of a 185 mixed-use development, rather than being located in discrete areas within that 186 component. 187 188 COMMENT 189 190 The section sets forth findings concerning the need for workforce housing in subsections (a) 191 through (d). Subsection (e) expresses a finding that workforce housing is not substandard or 192 inferior, and explains the basis for that finding, which is reflected in the requirements for 193 workforce housing units set forth in Section 2006. 194 195 Sec. 2002. Definitions. 196 197 As used in this article, the following terms shall be defined as follows: 198 199 (a) Affordable.

For rentals, it is housing that is priced 243 to be affordable to households with annual incomes between 60% and 80% of AMI 244 245 (h) Workforce Housing Discount — The difference in sales price between a 246 market rate unit and an equivalent Workforce Housing Unit. This amount is calculated 247 to be the reduction in sales price necessary to make a Workforce Housing Unit 248 affordable to a household at a targeted income level. 249 250 (0 Workforce Housing Unit (WFH Unit) - A dwelling unit that is reserved for 251 sale or rent by a Qualified Buyer or Qualified Renter, as the case may be, at a price 252 incorporating the workforce housing discount. Workforce housing units are constructed 253 as a result of the bonus density provisions that allow the construction of a greater 254 number of dwelling units on a specific parcel of land than is otherwise allowed in 255 exchange for the provision of workforce housing on the parcel. 256 257 COMMENT 258 259 The section contains definitions of various terms used in the ordinance. 260 261 Sec. 2003.

No. 2998, 8-28-07) Sec. 16-43. - Purpose and intent. (a) The purpose of this article is to provide eligibility requirements, pricing standards and program procedures concerning initial sales, subsequent transfers and rentals of workforce housing units developed pursuant to the provisions of article 21 of the city zoning ordinance as part of the city's workforce housing program. It is the intention of the city council to establish such standards and procedures as a means of achieving the city's vision for housing and neighborhoods, as stated in Chapter 8 of the Comprehensive Plan - "Housing and Neighborhood Plan."

"Worth" Remick District 6 Sabrina D. Wooten District 7 Chris Taylor District 8 Joashua F. "Joash" Schulman District 9 Jennifer V. Rouse District 10 3 r�, N j" a 7L CHARTER AMENDMENT Ten Single-Member Election System Adopted by City Council Background: The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia("the District Court") previously ruled that the cty's 7:4 election system as set forth in the City Charter does not comply with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, 52 U.S.C. § 10301 because it dilutes the voting strength of minority voting groups. This ruling was later vacated on appeal by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit("the Fourth Circuit") on the ground that it was rendered moot by an intervening amendment to state law. That amendment changed the seven residence districts previously elected at large under the City's Charter to single-member districts whose representative was elected by only the residents of those districts. Although the District Court's judgment was vacated, the case was remanded to that court for further proceedings. Subsequently, the District Court has indicated that any system other than the 10:1 system with three (3)Minority Opportunity Districts would likely be found to violate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. On January 14, 2022, while the District Court's order was still in effect, the City obtained preclearance of the 10:1 system ordered by the District Court from the Virginia Attorney General under the Virginia Voting Rights Act. The 10:1 plan was utilized in the November 2022 City Council elections. In 2023, the City Council undertook a public input initiative that included duly noticed, public education and listening sessions in each of the ten districts. Two virtual listening sessions were also conducted. In addition, the City engaged the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service at the University of Virginia to conduct a statistically validated public opinion survey within the city, which showed 81% support for a 10:1 system. On August 15, 2023, the City Council adopted its decennial redistricting ordinance. This ordinance uses the same 10-1 system and district boundaries that were previously ordered by the District Court. Additionally, the decennial redistricting ordinance uses the same schedule of elections that was recommended by the Special Master. It is desirable for the City Charter to reflect the decennial redistricting ordinance, and this request does that. 4 Request: City Council requests that the General Assembly amend the City Charter to adopt the ten single-member district system used in the 2022 elections and adopted by the City Council in its decennial redistricting ordinance.

'- CHARTER AMENDMENT Board Of Equalization Membership Background: The City Charter establishes the City's Board of Equalization(the "BOE"). The BOE is one of three possible routes of appeal when a taxpayer believes his or her real estate assessment is erroneous. The BOE sits in quasi-judicial capacity hearing such appeals, and any decision of the BOE can be appealed to the circuit court. At the request of a previous BOE chair, the City Council made a request to amend the City Charter to expand the membership of the BOE from three to four in its 2022 Legislative Agenda. Recently, there has been a change in the membership of the BOE, and the current BOE has experienced more deadlocked votes. Request: The City Council requests that the General Assembly amend the City Charter to increase the membership of the City of Virginia Beach Board of Equalization from four members to five members and add an alternate. 8 PROPOSED CHARTER UPDATE § 8.07. Annual assessment of real estate. The council may, in lieu of annual, biennial or triennial assessment, reassessment and equalization of the methods prescribed by general law, provide by ordinance for the assessments of real estate for local taxation and to that end may appoint one or more persons . as assessors to assess or reassess for taxation the real estate within the city. Such assessors shall make assessments and reassessments on the same basis as real estate is required to be assessed under the provisions of general law and as of the first day of July of each year in which such assessment, reassessment and equalization of assessments is made, shall have the same authority as the assessors appointed under the provisions of general law and shall be charged with duties similar to those thereby imposed upon such assessors. The judges of the circuit court shall annually appoint a board of equalization of real estate assessments to be composed of€ems five members and one alternate who shall be freeholders of the city. Such board of equalization shall have and may exercise the powers to revise, correct and amend any assessment of real estate and to that end shall have all powers conferred upon boards of equalization by general law. The provisions of general law notwithstanding, the board of equalization may adopt any regulations providing for the oral presentation, with formal petitions or other pleadings of requests for review, and looking to the further facilitation and simplification of proceeding before the board. This section shall not apply to assessment of any real estate assessable by the State Corporation Commission. 9 „,30A A[ ' .: VIRGINIA CODE AMENDMENT Amend Code to Reflect Election System Adopted by Council Background: The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia("the District Court”) previously ruled that the city's 7:4 election system as set forth in the City Charter does not comply with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, 52 U.S.C. § 10301 because it dilutes the voting strength of minority voting groups. This ruling was later vacated on appeal by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit("the Fourth Circuit") on the ground that it was rendered moot by an intervening amendment to state law. That amendment changed the seven residence districts previously elected at large under the City's Charter to single member districts whose representative was elected by only the residents of those districts. Although the District Court's judgment was vacated, the case was remanded to that court for further proceedings. Subsequently, the District Court has indicated that any system other than the 10:1 system with three (3)Minority Opportunity Districts would likely be found to violate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. On January 14, 2022, while the District Court's order was still in effect, the City obtained preclearance of the 10:1 system ordered by the District Court from the Virginia Attorney General under the Virginia Voting Rights Act. The 10:1 plan was utilized in the November 2022 City Council elections. In 2023, the City Council undertook a public input initiative that included duly noticed, public education and listening sessions in each of the ten districts. Two virtual listening sessions were also conducted. In addition, the City engaged the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service at the University of Virginia to conduct a statistically validated public opinion survey within the city, which showed 8 1% support for a 10:1 system. Request: Because a change to a locality's Charter requires a two-thirds vote of the General Assembly and a general law change to the Virginia Code requires a majority of the members of the General Assembly, the City Council requests that a dual track be taken to updating the City's election system to better ensure that a proper update is made ahead of the 2024 election cycle. The City Council requests that section § 15.2-1400 of the Code of Virginia be amended, with language to supersede a local charter, to reflect the City's ten single-member district system. 10 Proposed language for§ 15.2-1400 of the Code of Virginia G. Notwithstanding any other provision of law,general or special, the governing body of a locality that has been subject to a court order imposing a remedial election system under either the Voting Rights Act of 1965 or Virginia Rights of Voters Act, Va. Code§§24.2-125, et. seq, even if such order is later vacated, may adopt an ordinance to convert one or more at-large members of such body to single- member districts. Members of such governing body in office on the effective date of such ordinance shall complete their terms of office. 11 S J `° . VIRGINIA CODE AMENDMENT "Good Friday" First Responders Fund Background: On Good Friday, April 6, 2012, a catastrophic event took place in Virginia Beach as a Navy F/A-18 Hornet jet fighter crashed just moments after take-off from Naval Air Station Oceana into the Mayfair Mews apartment complex, injuring seven. Hundreds of Virginia Beach first responders and employees were quickly on the scene of what came to be known as the Good Friday miracle as there were no fatalities from the event despite the apartment complex housing more than 100 residents. During this event, City staff were likely exposed to burning composite materials like carbon fibers and other toxins released from the burning fuel, hydraulic fluids, aircraft fuselage, and damaged structures including known "forever chemicals" including perfluorooctane sulfonic acid(PFOS) and aqueous film forming foam (AFFF), called forever chemicals because these toxic materials do not leave your system. Research suggests firefighters are at higher risk of certain types of cancers when compared to the general population. Earlier this year, the City provided a voluntary Galleri Cancer Screening, an advanced type of testing that screens for more than 50 types of cancers, where 538 sworn Fire employees were tested. The Galleri Cancer Screening was provided to the Fire Department due to their heightened risk of developing occupational cancer and the existence of a presumption that many cancers are work related and can be a compensable claim under Virginia Worker's Compensation. Request: The City Council requests that the General Assembly create and fund the "Good Friday" First Responders Fund to support annual health monitoring and cancer screenings to all Virginia Beach employees who worked the crash scene and to provide additional support for out-of-pocket health care costs and other service gaps that may arise for these heroes. 12 �r3°nryr VIRGINIA CODE AMENDMENT Photo Speed Monitoring Devices on Local Highways Background: Across the nation, states and localities are seeing a rise in traffic fatalities and are seeking new tools to improve safety on highways and roadways. While there are many elements that drive the rise in traffic fatalities, including distracted driving, one of the major elements is the continued proliferation of speeding. The speed of a vehicle involved in a crash has a direct impact on the number of crashes and the severity of injuries they cause. Developing a speed camera program would provide law-enforcement a new tool to enforce speed limits and reduce risks on local highways. Today, more than 18 states and 188 localities have implemented speed camera programs. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety studies of cameras on residential roads in Maryland, on a high-speed roadway in Arizona, and on city streets in the District of Columbia found that the proportion of drivers exceeding speed limits by more than 10 mph declined by 70, 88 and 82 percent, respectively, six to eight months after cameras were introduced. Virginia currently permits localities to operate photo speed monitoring devices in school zones and construction zones as well as cameras to enforce traffic light signals. Request: The City Council requests the General Assembly grant statewide authority for local governments to establish a program for using photo speed monitoring devices on local highways. The legislation would require a locality, before the implementation of a speed camera on a highway, to conduct an analysis of the highway that includes average daily traffic count, average speed, the 85th percentile speed, periods of highest speeding, number of accidents, number of fatalities, and the number of pedestrian involved accidents. The legislation would also require the same privacy and notification rules that are included in existing traffic camera enforcement programs. Finally, the legislation would require any funds a locality receives from the program, after supporting the program itself, be allocated towards pedestrian and road safety improvements. 13 �,,30'MyJn T " � TS VIRGINIA CODE AMENDMENT Photo Speed Monitoring and Failure of Recipient to Respond Background: The 2020 General Assembly enacted legislation that was subsequently codified as Virginia Code §46.2-882.1. This legislation authorized photo speed monitoring in highway work zones and school crossing zones. Like the program for school bus stop arm violations, photo speed monitoring is intended to allow targeted enforcement in places where vulnerable pedestrians are present. Photo speed enforcement allows law enforcement personnel to attend to other public safety priorities, and it equitably and efficiently holds drivers accountable for violating posted speed limits in school crossing zones and highway work zones. As currently written, Virginia Code § 46.2-882.1 provides a default process for out-of-state motorists, and upon such default, the civil penalty is eligible for collection. There is no specific process for default when a motorist within the Commonwealth fails to respond to a mailed summons, and it may be impracticable to effect personal service upon every person that does not respond to a mailed summons. This legislative proposal offers a notice and review process that is similar to the procedure when a person receives a notice that there is a claim upon that person's Virginia tax return. The process provides for an additional mailed notification of the violation of the speed limit and opportunity to contest such violation. If the recipient fails to respond within the thirty- day period, this failure to respond will be deemed a waiver of the opportunity to contest the speed violation, and like the process for out-of-state motorists, such amount would then be eligible for collection. Request: The City Council requests the General Assembly amend Virginia Code § 46.2-882.l(B)(5) as follows: 5. A summons for a violation of§46.2-873 or 46.2-878.1 issued by mail pursuant to this section may be executed pursuant to § 19.2-76.2. Notwithstanding the provisions of§ 19.2-76, a summons issued by mail pursuant to this section may be executed by mailing by first-class mail a copy thereof to the owner, lessee, or renter of the vehicle. In the case of a vehicle owner, the copy shall be mailed to the address contained in 14 the records of or accessible to the Department. In the case of a vehicle lessee or renter, the copy shall be mailed to the address contained in the records of the lessor or renter. Every such mailing shall include, in addition to the summons, a notice of (i)the summoned person's ability to rebut the presumption that he was the operator of the vehicle at the time of the alleged violation through the filing of an affidavit as provided in subdivision 3 and(ii) instructions for filing such affidavit, including the address to which the affidavit is to be sent. If the summoned person fails to appear on the date of return set out in the summons mailed pursuant to this section, the summons may shall be executed in the manner set out in§ 19.2-76.3. No proceedings for contempt or arrest of a person summoned by mailing shall be instituted for failure to appear on the return date of the summons. If the summons is issued to an owner, lessee, or renter of a vehicle with a registration outside the Commonwealth and such person fails to appear on the date of return set out in the summons mailed pursuant to this section, the summons will be eligible for all legal collections activities. Any summons executed for a violation of§ 46.2-873 or 46.2-878.1 issued pursuant to this section shall provide to the person summoned at least 30 days from the mailing of the summons to inspect information collected by a photo speed monitoring device in connection with the violation. If the summons is issued to an owner, lessee, or renter of a vehicle with a registration address within the Commonwealth and such person fails to timely contest the violation, a notice of proposed default may be sent, by first class mail, to the last known address of the owner, lessee, or renter of the vehicle. This notice of proposed default shall provide the recipient the opportunity to contest the alleged violation within thirty days of the date of the mailing of the notice and describe the process for making such contest. In addition, the notice of proposed default shall advise the recipient that failure to contest such violation within the thirty-day period will be deemed a waiver of the opportunity to contest the violation and may result in collection of the civil penalty. If the recipient fails to contest the violation asserted in the notice ofproposed default within the thirty-day period, the civil penalty authorized herein shall be eligible for all legal collection activities. If the law-enforcement agency that was operating the photo speed monitoring device does not execute a summons for a violation of§ 46.2-873 or 46.2-878.1 issued pursuant to this section within 30 days from the date of the violation or initiates the notice of proposed default, all information collected pertaining to that suspected violation shall be purged within 60 days from the date of the violation. 15 Al �'- VIRGINIA CODE AMENDMENT Opioid and Fentanyl Awareness Education Background: According to the Virginia Department of Health, "Fatal drug overdose has been the leading method of unnatural death in Virginia since 2013 and opioids, specifically illicit fentanyl, has been the driving force behind the large increases in fatal overdoses since 2013." Virginia Beach has not been immune to the opioid and fentanyl crisis, as it has taken hold across the Commonwealth and the nation, as the rate of overdose in Virginia Beach has tripled over the last decade. Alarmingly, this crisis has hit far too many of our most vulnerable and youngest members of our community, taking a tragic toll on families. Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid approved by the Food and Drug Administration used for pain relief or as an anesthetic and, according to the Drug Enforcement Agency, it is approximately 100 times more potent than morphine and 50 times more potent than heroin. It can often be found in counterfeit drugs or used as a "filler" to increase the potency of other narcotics, because of this, in many cases the user doesn't even know that they are taking fentanyl. In some instances, it has been developed to look like popular brands of food and candy. Mistakenly taking fentanyl can be deadly, as it is estimated that as little fentanyl powder as would cover the tip of a pencil is enough to kill the average person. Because of these dangers and unknowns, it is increasingly important that the Commonwealth increase the education activities to raise awareness of the dangers of opioids and especially fentanyl. Requests: 1. The City Council requests the General Assembly direct the Department of Education to coordinate with the proper organizations, to develop and distribute to each local school division, educational materials concerning the health and safety risks of opioid abuse with a particular focus on the deadly risk of fentanyl. 2. The City Council additionally requests that the General Assembly declare May 9`' of each year "Fentanyl Awareness Day" and asks that the appropriate government agencies, both local governments and the Commonwealth, leverage all their tools available to raise awareness of the dangers of Fentanyl. 16 j 36 AlV,, c VIRGINIA CODE AMENDMENT Local Taxing Authority for Vaping and E-Cigarette Products Background: According to a recent research study conducted by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, since 2014, e-cigarettes, or vaping, have been the most commonly used tobacco product among U.S. middle and high school students. The same study found that 14% of high school students reported using e-cigarettes. This trend is on the rise and a cause for concern. A lack of information and misperceptions around e-cigarettes and vaping has led to their proliferation among students, but the research is clear, e-cigarettes are dangerous and addictive. As more people turn to vaping and better understand the dangers of traditional cigarettes, tax collections on traditional tobacco products at the local and state level have been in decline. In response to these trends, the Commonwealth, through the budget process, doubled their existing tax on traditional tobacco products and created a new tax on liquid nicotine (the nicotine utilized in vaping and e-cigarette products). The City Council supports efforts to modernize the Virginia Code as it relates to tobacco taxes and requests that the General Assembly grant statewide authority for local governments to establish an excise tax on the sale of vaping products. Request: The City Council requests that the General Assembly grant local governments the authority to modernize their tax codes as it relates to the sale of electronic cigarettes and vaping products. 17 '�w•- °' VIRGINIA CODE AMENDMENT Establish the Virginia Creative Economy Grant Fund and Program Background: Virginia Beach is home to award winning arts programs and internationally acclaimed artists. The arts contribute to the culture and social fabric of Virginia Beach, providing beauty and connection between communities. While the arts contribute greatly to Virginia Beach's character, it is important to recognize the important role the arts play in the City's economy and to work to find ways to continue to invest in that economy. The Office of Cultural Affairs found, in a previous study that examined the economic impact of the arts in Virginia Beach, that$87.7 million in economic activity and 2,875 jobs are generated annually by the non-profit arts and culture industry in Virginia Beach, making it a formidable business and economic driver for the City. In the 2023 General Assembly session, Delegate Jackie Glass introduced House Bill 2376 which would have established the Virginia Creative Economy Grant Fund and Program, to be administered by the Virginia Economic Development Partnership Authority, for the purpose of awarding grants to independent content creators and creative entrepreneurs for the purpose of developing and expanding the creative economy in Virginia. Request: The City Council requests that House Bill 2376 from the 2023 General Assembly session be re-introduced. 18 HOUSE BILL NO. 2376 from 2023 General Assembly Session §2.2-2240.7. Virginia Creative Economy Grant Fund and Program. A. For the purposes of this section: "Creative economy"means industries that have their origin in individual creativity, skill, and talent and that have a potential for wealth and job creation through the generation and exploitation of intellectual property, including production of audio, video, or visual content;literary or performing arts; production offilm, music, software, or video games;and television or radio. "Creative economy entrepreneur"means a small business or a self-employed individual whose primary business activity or self-employment. "Fund"means the Virginia Creative Economy Grant Fund. "Independent content creator"means an individual who creates original digital media content in the form of audio, video, or visual content for entertainment purposes and with the intention ofgenerating a profit. "Program"means the Virginia Creative Economy Grant Program. B. There is hereby created in the state treasury a special nonreverting fund to be known as the Virginia Creative Economy Grant Fund. The Fund shall be established on the books of the Comptroller. All funds appropriated for such purpose and any gifts, donations,grants, bequests, and other funds received on its behalfshall be paid into the state treasury and credited to the Fund. Interest earned on moneys in the Fund shall remain in the Fund and be credited to it. Any moneys remaining in the Fund, including interest thereon, at the end of each fiscalyear shall not revert to the general f rnd but shall remain in the Fund. Moneys in the Fund shall be used solely for purposes of(i)awarding grants on a competitive basis through the Virginia Creative Economy Grant Program established pursuant to subsection C or (ii)implementing and administering the Virginia Creative Economy Grant Program. Expenditures and disbursements from the Fund shall be made by the State Treasurer on warrants issued by the Comptroller upon written request signed by the Chief Executive Officer of theAuthority. C. The Virginia Creative Economy Grant Program is hereby established for the purpose of awarding grants on a competitive basis from such funds as may be available from the Fund to independent content creators and creative entrepreneurs for the purpose of developing and expanding the creative economy in Virginia. Grants shall be awarded by the Authority, in consultation with the Virginia Commission for the Arts established pursuant to§23.1-3222, in an amount not to exceed$20,000 to any independent content creator or creative entrepreneur. The program shall be administered by the Authority, in consultation with the Virginia Commission for the Arts. In administering the program, the Authority, in consultation with the Virginia Commission for the Arts, shall establish and publish guidelines and criteria forgrant awards, including guidelines and criteria governing agreements between the Authority and grant recipients relating to the use ofgrant funds. 19 ,,9E-/.fL,•/� '- VIRGINIA CODE AMENDMENT Obstruction of Right-of-Way Violations Background: The City's Resort Advisory Commission has identified several nuisance and safety issues in the Resort Area that are difficult to remedy under the City's existing ordinances. An example of this is repeated violations of businesses along Atlantic Avenue that place their wares along the sidewalk. The City can enforce these violations as criminal misdemeanors, and if found guilty, the judge will impose a fine and court costs. However, the time it takes for the case to be heard and the ability for it to be extended renders the deterrent null, and the offender will continue the violating behavior and absorb the penalty as a cost of doing business. The ability to have a more expedient method to stop these violations is desired. One example would be akin to a parking ticket, with the ability to ticket multiple times if no corrective action is taken. There is currently no known authority that would enable the City to adopt such an ordinance. Request: The City Council requests the General Assembly to adopt legislation that would allow the creation of local ordinances to eliminate or deter the continuation of nuisance and safety related offenses and violations during the pendency of a court hearing or other final disposition. 20 5, Aly VIRGINIA CODE AMENDMENT Re-Establish the Virginia Minority Business Commission Background: During the 2020 General Assembly Session, then Delegate, Jason Miyares, introduced legislation to establish the Virginia Minority Business Commission. While the legislation failed to pass, the legislature created the commission though the budget process. The Commission began meeting in January 2021 and met four times in its first year, reviewing Virginia's 2020 Disparity Study and Programs that support Small Women and Minority(SWaM) owned businesses and making recommendations to the General Assembly to promote the growth and competitiveness of Virginia's minority-owned businesses. The Commission was very successful, with the passage of multiple pieces of legislation including the requirement to do a disparity study every five-years and the creation of a mentor program for SWaM businesses. Request: The City Council requests that the General Assembly re-establish the Virginia Minority Business Commission to develop strategies and recommendations to promote the growth and competitiveness of Virginia's minority-owned businesses. 21 J KV uy``== STATE BUDGET REQUEST Augment Localities for 100% Disabled Veteran Tax Exemption Background: Virginia Beach is proud to be home to more than 58,000 veterans and more than 96,000 active-duty members of the United States armed forces. Both active-duty and retired members of the armed forces play a critical role in our community and economy, and we want them to make Virginia Beach their home for a lifetime. The City of Virginia Beach honors the sacrifices made by our military personnel and veterans, and we support efforts by the Commonwealth to have the tax code reflect those sacrifices. Since 2011, following voter ratification, the Commonwealth has mandated that localities provide a real estate tax exemption for 100% disabled veterans. This is an admirable program that the City of Virginia Beach supports. However, due to Virginia Beach's substantial military and veteran population, the City's budget is noticeably affected by this unfunded mandate from the Commonwealth. The program has grown from $1.7 million in its first year to more than $16 million in fiscal year 2023 and we project the program will grow to $24 million in fiscal year 2024. Across the Commonwealth this program impacted local government budgets by more than $125 million. With expansion of program eligibility and increased awareness, we anticipate that this program will continue to grow at a high rate. Requests: 1. The City Council requests that the General Assembly refrain from creating additional unfunded mandates and if it chooses to impact a locality's taxing authority that it provides support for filling the gap they create or provide another funding mechanism to replace it. 2. The City Council requests that the Commonwealth provide financial support to fill the gaps created by the Commonwealth for the Veterans 100% disabled tax relief program. 22 ,3e ucu l STATE BUDGET REQUEST 5/31 Memorial Background: This past May, the 5/31 Memorial Committee and the City Council chose the team that will work with the community to design and build a memorial to honor and remember the victims of the tragic events of May 31", 2019. In the aftermath of the 5/31/2019 mass shooting in Virginia Beach,victims' families, survivors, members of the public and recovery professionals advised City Council that installation of a permanent memorial is a critical component for the community to heal, recover, and move forward. The plan to build the memorial continues to advance, with the initial design incorporating elements that will honor the victims and provide a place for survivors to heal including two granite walls with timelines representing the 12 victims, a grove of trees that pays homage to the survivors, and a large "hero" tree dedicated to the first responders. Research shows that budgets of comparable memorials are typically built with funds comprised of state, local and private support. Request: The City Council requests that the General Assembly provide $2 million to support the 5/31 Memorial. 23 - STATE BUDGET REQUEST Stormwater Operations Center Background: The City of Virginia Beach requests funding to support a first in the nation, state-of-the-art facility, to monitor city infrastructure in real time to proactively respond to and potentially prevent flooding incidents that will mitigate damage and inform the public of hazards. The project is an integral part of the continued implementation of a $500 million+ investment the City is making in flood protection and will transform the resilience of our coastal community, ecosystem, and economy to weather climate impacts. The facility will monitor stormwater conditions and the City's transportation network and flood protection infrastructure in real time and allow staff to adjust stormwater controls, manage transportation patterns, initiate emergency repairs, and make recommendations for evacuations during severe weather events. To accomplish this goal, the facility will include expanded conference and computer training rooms that will serve as the hub of the Joint Operations Center. The facility will be constructed to withstand wind, blast, and other loads based on current and projected threats. Request: The City Council requests $15 million to support the building of a first in the nation, state-of- the-art stormwater operations facility. 24 3e u z - STATE BUDGET REQUEST Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center Renovation/Expansion Background: The Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center is a jewel for both the City of Virginia Beach and the Commonwealth, providing a world class tourism attraction, exciting hands- on education opportunities for students around the region, and support for sea animal rescue and rehabilitation across much of the East Coast. It is the third most visited attraction in the Commonwealth, behind only amusement parks Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens. According to a recent economic impact analysis, the Virginia Aquarium contributes more than $277 million in economic activity each year supporting more than 3,300 jobs. These impacts provide more than $7.6 million in annual tax revenues for the City of Virginia Beach and an additional $9+ million in annual tax revenues for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Unfortunately, the infrastructure is aging and nearing the point where it needs to be replaced. For example, the main building is more than 37 years old, and the seal, turtle, and shark habitats have reached end-of-life. For the protection of these animals, the habitat must be replaced in the coming years, or the animals will have to be transferred to another facility. The Virginia Aquarium Foundation is setting course for an ambitious capital improvement project that will allow the aquarium to continue to operate and generate economic activity for the Commonwealth and keep the animals safe while expanding its footprint and creating new updated exhibits for visitors that will draw larger crowds, and economic impact, in the future. Request: The City Council requests support from the General Assembly for the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center's renovation/expansion of aging infrastructure. The Virginia Aquarium would utilize resources from the Commonwealth in their overall strategy in seeking funds through the Federal Government along with City and private funding. 25 �,,99A1✓ 1 POLICY STATEMENT Short-Term Rentals Policy Statement: The City Council is opposed to any legislation that: • Compels localities to allow Short-Term Rentals (STRs) • Limits the ability of localities to regulate STRs • Overrides local authority for STR land use or planning • Limits the ability of localities to collect the appropriate taxes associated with STRs The City Council supports any legislation that: • Provides localities greater authority to enforce their zoning ordinances as they relate to STRs 26 �r � �� •, i• •ri•rrrrrrrr . .. .•• /r/r, r/1,r r� H E3 U , n R U a : 00 00 o a a :e ::, Office of the City Manager Brent McKenzie Municipal Center— Bldg 1 • Legislative Affairs Director 2401 Courthouse Drive 757-837-9572 Virginia Beach, VA 23456 bmckenzie@vbgov.com virginiabeach.gov ' 63 ITEM— VI.L.2 ORDINANCESIRESOL UTIONS ITEM#74949 Upon motion by Vice Mayor Wilson, seconded by Council Member Berlucchi, City Council ADOPTED, BY CONSENT, Resolution to REQUEST the General Assembly Amend the City Charter Sections 3.01, 3.01:1, 3.02:1, 3.02:2, and 3.02:3 re implement ten (10) single-member District Election System (Requested by Mayor Dyer, Vice Mayor Wilson,and Council Members Berlucchi,Remick,Ross-Hammond, Rouse, Schulman, Taylor, and Wooten) Voting: 9-1 Council Members Voting Aye: Michael F.
