However, the ability to accommodate their space needs is becoming
increasingly more difficult. Changes in state laws have significantly impacted
the Voter Registrar's operations and the duration of its pre- and post-

The City Auditor's review found the Office of Voter Registration and Elections has inadequate space for
efficient operations:
Review by City Auditor's Office
March 8,2023:the City of Virginia Beach Internal Auditor's Office released the findings
and recommendations from its Review of Changes to Virginia Beach District Voting:
"The office size of the Office of Voter Registration and Elections is inadequate for
efficient operations. The Voter Registration and Elections Office has experienced
difficulties that could have been avoided if it had one large office.Currently,its staff
is dispersed,working in four different buildings.Training for election officials needed
to be conducted offsite at the Convention Center over multiple days, adding more
work and logistical inefficiencies. The inadequate office size was clearly manifested
when significant delays were encountered during the submission of ballots. All the
election officials reported to a conference space in Building 19 to turn in their
materials, which was overwhelming for this location. Election officials had to wait
longer to ensure that the ballots from their respective polling location were properly
accounted for because the space limited how many Office of Voter Registration and
Elections staff were positioned to help with the turn-in process."

3:33 P.M.
Vice Mayor Wilson advised she, Council Member Taylor and City Manager Duhaney attended the School
Modernization meeting last week which included a discussion on canceling the Public-Private Education
Facilities and Infrastructure Act(PPEA)process due to the high cost totaling$659-Million for the three
(3)schools construction projects proposed. Vice Mayor Wilson advised the School Board will have to make
a choice to either go forward with Princess Anne High School or Betty F. Williams Elementary School and
believes the School Board should make the decision based on their evaluation. Vice Mayor Wilson
expressed this is unfortunate with the amount of work that was put in over the past eighteen (18) months
that prices and inflation continuously increased to a point where the project will be limited to only one(1)
school and applauded Superintendent Dr. Robertson and the School Board for being fiduciarily
responsible. Vice Mayor Wilson further advised, the School Board supported City Manager Duhaney's
request to include one of his staff members to serve on the Building Utilization Committee as the Committee
evaluates how to best utilize and merge facilities as the population decreases.
Council Member Taylor expressed his belief there was not a willingness among some Council Members to
do due diligence in order to understand that there was no way to fund this project and asked what did
anyone get from the $15.4-Million already spent? Council Member Taylor advise the money could have
gone towards salary increases for teachers or divided up to give each school additional funds. Council
Member Taylor expressed his hope in going forward there will be more collaboration and using facts and
data to make decisions and believes this exercise was a waste of taxpayer dollars with no money going
towards teachers or students.
Mayor Dyer advised it is inevitable that at some point the City's 87 schools will need modernization or
replacement and agreed better and more frequent collaboration with the School Board is important as both
Body's confront difficult budgetary needs. Mayor Dyer recommended to have a meeting with the School
Board during the upcoming budget deliberations to understand what Schools will need next year.

all requests should go through the same evaluation and reporting requirements on how the funds were
spent.
Vice Mayor Wilson advised COG held a meeting today to go over the second round of applications and
determine who would be interviewed in the upcoming weeks. Vice Mayor Wilson advised the Committee
questioned why they have to have two(2)rounds and would like to only have one(1)per year. Vice Mayor
Wilson advised the Committee does a very good job in reviewing each application for how much money is
requested, what was done previously, the applicants current budget, how many people will be affected and
goes in depth to a level the Body does not have time to do.
Council Member Henley agreed and advised the COG Committee does important work and should be
appreciated for the amount of time and hard work they do.

Council Member Berlucchi referenced a letter the Body received from the Virginia Beach Police
Foundation urgently requesting repairs be completed on the damaged Virginia Beach Law Enforcement
Memorial at the Boardwalk. Council Member Berlucchi advised the City is responsible for the repair and
would like to see the Body move forward with providing the requested amount of$12,000, with a
contingency of an additional $12,000, as soon as possible so the repairs can be completed before the
memorial to be held at the Oceanfront in May.
City Manager Duhaney advised the document he reviewed provides that the City is responsible for the
cleaning and day-to-day maintenance but in order to perform capital maintenance, he would need
authorization from the Body
Council Member Berlucchi apologized for the misrepresentation of the letter and clarified the
Memorandum of Understanding(MOU)indicates the Foundation is responsible for enhanced maintenance
and capital maintenance and repairs however, it is City property and believes the Body should move
forward with the necessary repairs.
Mayor Dyer expressed his concerns of the visible damage the Memorial has and requested staff to have an
Ordinance drafted and placed on the February 20`h Agenda for consideration.

Council Member Taylor referenced a memo the Body received in a previous Friday Package regarding
requests from festival promoters, one for the Caribbean Carnival for$200,000 and another from East Coast
Surfing Championships (ECSC)for $500,000. Council Member Taylor advised he is aware of a request
for the Summer Concert Series for $100,000 and possibly two (2) more that may come and is unsure of
what the path going forward will be or what to tell people who ask him. Council Member Taylor expressed
concern for requests coming from new promoters who may not have the relationship ECSC has.
Mayor Dyer advised this is a topic for discussion during the Retreat and asked what the status was of the
90-Day Festival Task Force?
City Manager Duhaney advised their first meeting will be on February 8`" and will have a facilitator to
help set the priorities. City Manager Duhaney summarized his memo that referenced and explained his
staff is advising requesters that City Council has authorized a Task Force to provide recommendations
while his staff is working on a Request for Proposal(RFP)process for 2025 and therefore, are not sending
any requests to the Body for consideration until the Task Force has provided their recommendations and
the Body has made a policy decision. City Manager Duhaney advised requesters are also invited to
participate in the RFP process.
Council Member Wooten advised it is important to think about treating all requesters the same whether it
is a big, small or new festival. Council Member Wooten advised both VA Swim and Caribbean Carnival
have recently requested funding and is hopeful since both used their own funding last year their initiative
shown for raising funding for themselves will be considered when the Body receives those requests.
Mayor Dyer advised he encourages all promoters to apply, regardless of the size,since all events contribute
to the community, as well as looking for sponsors who can also provide support.

Real Estate Services ("Howard Hanna'), who's Oceanfront Office is located at 303 341"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

in which he is not personally involved and has no personal knowledge. In that regard, he is always
concerned about the appearance of impropriety that might arise if he participates in a matter before the

interest. In order to ensure compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government
Conflict of Interests Act (the `Act'), it is Council Member Remick's practice to thoroughly review the

potential conflict. If, during review of the agenda for a Council meeting, he identifies a matter in which he
