The Neptune Festival Boardwalk Weekend had a positive Return on Investment(ROI):
As determined in this modeling,the City earned between$1.30M 4$1.43M in tax revenues.
The City's expenditures,on the other hand,are tabulated at approximately$4960 Therefore,
employing these figures,It can be estimated that every$1 spent on this event by the City
yielded a return between$2.56-*$2.89.1 It is prudent to note here that this ROI tabulation is
conservative in that the City's sponsorship funding is utilized throughout the year by the
Neptune Festival organization to help support a number of other events that also generate
economic impacts(see Appendix A). The current study,however,focuses solely on the
Neptune Festival Boardwalk Weekend.

Council Member Ross-Hammond advised she is part of the BEACH Community Partnership's Governing
Board and at the meeting held earlier today there was a discussion on encampments. Council Member
Ross-Hammond advised there are eighty(80)homeless people living in one of the twenty(20)encampments
on private and public property in the City. Council Member Ross-Hammond advised some of the homeless
people see each other as family and choose to live in the encampments. Council Member Ross-Hammond
advised she asked about the safety in the encampments and was informed that there has not been a murder
in overfive(5)years and while residents have complained about homelessness, the ones who are homeless
have expressed they feel safe. Council Member Ross-Hammond believes it is important to address
homelessness with balanced respect and taking into consideration those who choose to be homeless.
Council Member Wooten advised she recently drove past Stumpy Lake and saw a tent in the area for the
first time and believes with the dangers of the mud, water and cold temperatures, it is unlikely that anyone
would choose to live there. Council Member Wooten advised some encampments have been reported as
being friendly but not all and believe it is important to provide opportunities for those who do not want to
live in encampments.

Re: 2024 North Landing River& Albemarle Sound Estuarine Symposium
Dear Mr. Duhaney:
The Green Ribbon Committee is tasked with advising City Council on water quality,
coastal flooding issues and marine environments that affect the City of Virginia Beach. We would
like to thank you and the City Council for your leadership on these important issues.
I am writing today regarding the 2024 North Landing River & Albemarle Sound Estuarine
Symposium, which is scheduled for April 26, 2024 at the Virginia Beach Convention Center. The
Symposium, which started in 2017, and was held in 2018, 2019, and 2023 is a one-day event
intended to cultivate stakeholder collaboration and help attendees identify, protect and restore the
significant resources of the North Landing River/Albemarle Sound.
Approximately two thirds of the city is located within the North Landing River/Albemarle Sound
watershed, making it the largest watershed in the city. This watershed is very different from the
city's other watersheds that drain to the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean, and the previously
held Symposiums have brought attention and to this unique and important part of the city, which
for many years had been somewhat overlooked in comparison to the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
The Symposium has been an important catalyst for raising awareness about the watershed,and has
fostered numerous collaborations and partnerships amongst researchers, educators, city staff, city
residents, environmental groups and professionals, and stakeholders in the watershed. It has also
fostered communication across the border with stakeholders and environmental groups and
agencies from North Carolina, which is also part of the watershed. The speakers are very high
level, including the Secretaries of Natural Resources from both Virginia and North Carolina,
researchers from top Universities and Colleges, environmental groups, and environmental
professionals.
The Symposium has highlighted and promoted important city projects including the city's Marsh
Island Terrace Restoration project in Back Bay, which has garnered national attention as a new
and innovative approach to combatting sea level rise and flooding, as well as promoting important
research on tree preservation that is being conducted by Dr. Daniel McLaughlin, Associate
Professor at Virginia Tech. This important research is leading to new regulations to provide
stormwater credit for landowners through tree preservation that is currently being adopted by the
Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. Due to the high level of the speakers and
important research and applied topics, the event now qualifies for Continuing Education Credits
for various professionals, including city staff. The event has highlighted the city's many efforts to
promote water quality and resiliency and has raised the city's profile on these important issues. In
short, the event has provided numerous benefits citywide to both residents and the city
government.
The Green Ribbon Committee met on Thursday February 22 at our regularly scheduled monthly
meeting to go over the planning and potential speakers for the event. We have been involved in
these planning efforts since the inception of the event in 2017,and we would like to continue these
efforts for this year's Symposium to become the official sponsor of the event.
Thank you for your continued leadership in this area.Please let me know if any further information
is needed. I can be reached at(757) 641-5004 orjbamey@bameyenvironmental.com
Sincerely,
Jason Barney
Chairman, Green Ribbon Committee
