When you make an investment in Boys & Girls Clubs, you change the future for
thousands of youth people in Virginia Beach. Kids who would not graduate without the
academic support provided to them. Kids who would go hungry without the nightly meal
served to them. Kids who want and deserve a great future.
We hope you will join us in the investment of our youth.

us the opportunity to share our impact with you today.

ACQUISITION SUMMARY
Rules for Sale of Excess Property:
Transportation funds:
■ Because state funds were included into the SEPG CIP,there is state law that
requires the proceeds from a sale be put back into a transportation CIP if the
property was purchased with SEPG project funds.
BRAC funds:
• Many of the properties were acquired with BRAC funds—most of these will require
the City to pay 50%of the sales proceeds back to the State
• There are some limits and credits that can be applied—for example,the City does
get credit for any funds already paid back through the sale of easements to the
Navy or leases.
RECENT ACTIONS
2021: City of Chesapeake requested that the Memorandum of Understanding(MOU)
between Chesapeake and VA Beach be terminated
2022: MOU termination was executed and approved by VB City Council
2023: VDOT requested to remove the Location Approval that was provided by the
Commonwealth Transportation Board in 2005
■ This is an administrative action by the CTB and has no impact on whether the City
decides to pursue future projects or initiatives within the SEPG footprint
• CTB is scheduled to take action on this issue in February

CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION/INITL4TIVES/COMMENTS
ITEM#75154
4.59 P.M.
Mayor Dyer distributed copies of the proposed Resolution, "To direct the City Manager to undertake an
Economic Impact Study and Infrastructure Cost Analysis for the Virginia Beach Sports and Convention
District" and an Alternative Version of the same Resolution for discussion and consideration, attached
hereto and made apart of the record.
Mayor Dyer advised the Body has discussed the Capstone Project proposed by Norm Jenkins, CEO —
Capstone Development in Closed Session, as typically done for any major projects, and now we are at a
point to openly discuss and provide information to the public. Mayor Dyer advised public engagement will
be critical as this project would require a super majority vote for the land transfer. Mayor Dyer explained
it is also important for the Body to identify new revenue sources since recently learning the storm water
projects have increased to P-Billion and the costs associated with school modernization. Mayor Dyer
advised the proposed study will better inform the Body on the economic impact of the proposed project and
if there will be a positive return on investment.
Vice Mayor Wilson believes the proposed study is a good start but would like to have more comprehensive
study that will include the MOCA and Visitor Center buildings and the area surrounding them.
Council Member Henley explained she is confused why there is a project proposal since the City only sent
out a non-binding, Request for Letter of Interest and Qualifications (RLIQ), that would be considered and
possibly have a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued. Council Member Henley agreed with Vice Mayor
Wilson that the study should include a broader area for economic development opportunities.
Mayor Dyer advised he met Mr.Jenkins in 2018 and has a track record of being transformational in many
other cities and believes if someone has an idea, they should be given the opportunity to present it. The
basic plan has been shared but more details will be coming and is an opportunity that can be expanded on
with public engagement.
Council Member Taylor advised he serves as a Council Liaison to the Resort Advisory Commission (RAC)
and last week former Governor McDonnell and developer Gerald Divaris presented an idea publicly that
would impact the Dairy Queen. Council Member Taylor believes the public should be given the opportunity
to provide input before the Body discusses the item in Closed Session. Council Member Taylor advised he
sees disparity between how some projects are handled and believes they all should be treated the same
across the City.
Mayor Dyer advised the purpose of the proposed Resolution is to facilitate public engagement and
explained some projects have to be discussed in Closed Session initially and then can be discussed openly
and shared with the public which is done as quickly as possible.
Council Member Henley referenced the proposed Resolution and asked if the Sports Center would be
included?
Mayor Dyer advised it will be amended to be broader.

CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSIONIINITIATIVES/COMMENTS
ITEM#75155
(Continued)
Deputy City Attorney Harmeyer advised he will amend the Resolution for the land use study to include
MOCA, the Visitor's Center and compatible uses with the Virginia Beach Sports Center and asked if he
understood correctly.
Mayor Dyer advised it should also include 17'*Street.
City Manager Duhaney explained the cost of the study is$75,000 based on $25,000 to study the economic
impact on residential, retail and hotels as submitted by the developer and $50,000 for the preliminary
infrastructure costs for the project site. City Manager Duhaney advised if the scope of the study is expanded
the cost may increase.
Mayor Dyer advised he believes with other projects coming, it would be beneficial to broaden the study.
Council Member Schulman advised this is an important area of the City and believes it is critical to do it
right. Council Member Schulman advised a Convention Center hotel has been needed for years and would
bring new visitors to the City while providing a financial boost to the Convention Center. Council Member
Schulman believes Mr. Jenkins proposal should be given an opportunity as he is highly qualified and
capable and came a long way to provide what the Body asked for.
City Manager Duhaney asked the Mayor to confirm the two (2) things the Body is asking for, one(1) is for
the economic impact study and infrastructure cost analysis for the Capstone Project and second, to reaffirm
the Corridor Study for the project site within the Focused Area Action Plan and MOCA, the Visitor's Center
and area around the Convention and Sports Center areas.
Council Member Henley requested to have in writing the request that originally went out and what will be
studied.
Council Member Ross-Hammond advised it is important to get input from the Seatack Community as they
have previously expressed feeling left out of the decisions impacting them. Council Member Ross-
Hammond asked what the cost will be for the additional areas added to the study?
City Manager Duhaney explained to Council Member Henley that the RLIQ she has is the only document
that was issued and then explained to Council Member Ross-Hammond that he will provide the cost as
soon as he has it and expects costs to be similar to the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan(RASAP).
Council Member Henley read portions of the RLIQ and advised a project plan was never asked for only a
letter of interests with qualifications.
Mayor Dyer advised the Body has accepted unsolicited proposals in the past.

CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSIONIINITL4TIVES/COMMENTS
ITEM#75I56
(Continued)
Council Member Taylor confirmed the similar situation with the Rudee Loop project and explained he is
concerned with how differently the developers have been treated.
Council Member Henley advised in the RLIQ the land would be leased for forty (40)years and not the
transfer of the land and understand many people were not interested if the land was going to be leased.
Council Member Henley advised she has been made aware of a term sheet and believes that should be made
available to the public.
Council Member Taylor read portions of a letter from the Seatack Civic League which explained no one
has discussed the proposed project with them but were asked to submit letters of support. Council Member
Taylor advised "stakeholders" needs to be defined to include Seatack, adding before it was the ViBe
District, it was a vibrant African American community and many of the residents still live there and do not
feel they are being heard.
Council Member Wooten expressed the importance of not letting the process become convoluted with other
factors because the initial issue was addressing the need for a Convention Center hotel. Council Member
Wooten cautioned the Body to be careful how the Body works with this developer; he had made plans to
provide a presentation to the Body but was rescheduled to a later date. Council Member Wooten explained,
after he provided his presentation, based on what the Body wanted, the Body now want to do a study to see
if the project is still wanted and believes the Body should be careful how they proceed in business dealings
with people who provided what was requested.
Mayor Dyer advised Mr.Jenkins was going to give a presentation to the Body last May when Atlantic Park
was done however, there was a last minute issue with a high threshold, and he decided to have Mr.Jenkins
wait to give his presentation in order to give him the best and most positive opportunity possible.
City Manager Duhaney advised the Resolution will be amended and will include the Corridor Study for the
area around the Convention and Sports Center, MOCA, the Visitor's Center and alternative uses such as
action sports and the economic impact study with the infrastructure cost analysis for the Capstone Project.
The Resolution will also include public engagement is expected and include diverse stakeholders such as
the Seatack Community and Resort area. City Manager Duhaney advised the Resolution will be edited
based on today's conversation and provided to the Body for consideration.
Mayor Dyer advised to have the drafted Resolution on the Agenda for next Tuesday to allow the public
input and discussion and if necessary, it can be deferred.
