This slide summarizes the methodology used to provide proposed Arts and Culture Dedication options:
Potential Modest Dedication Redirection
• Methodology was three pronged:
1. Does dedication/fund have budgeted reserve or positive fund
balance?
2. If redirected,will capacity remain to cover existing
obligation/intent?
3. If red irected,will fund balance rem ain above 15%?
• Narrowed focus to ARP,Open Space,Town Center TIF,TAP,
TIP, and EDIP
• Increased pay-go from each dedication (excluding Town
Center TIF)reduced General Fund obligation by $2.3 m illion
• Exam ple,TIP$800,000-"Oceanfront Capital Project Reinvestment"
and "Virg inia Beach Am phitheaterCapital Maintenance"
Resolution : Arts and Culture Dedicated Funding
On March 19,2024,City Council adopted a resolution directing
the City Manager to create options for establishing a
dedicated funding source for arts and culture from existing
funding dedications,excluding the General Fund.These
options were to be provided to City Council 20 daysfrom

L ' . t ,
• 4.0 FTEs-3 Full-time lifeguards and 1 Supervisor
• Help ensure coverage during difficult PT staffing times
T
• Majority of guards are high school/college age&can't work daytime Mon.-Fri.
• Over the last three years,PT guards declined from 240 to 200,straining resources
&at times limiting pool operational hours at various recreation centers.
Numerous initiatives in the works to both recruit and retain PT lifeguards.
Many park systems now utilize hybrid PT/FT lifeguarding model to ensure coverage. Ono—
Supervisor Position will eliminate 1 supervisor overseeing two sites which
will reduce the continued and sporadic reduction in operational hours `

and is one of the largest communities in the City.

Council Member Henley requested to know how the budget reconciliation process will be this year. Council
Member Henley referenced the Fire Department's Performance and Accountability Study with the
presentation provided by Chief Pravetz and advised hiring additional firefighters is her top priority.
Council Member Henley advised it is unacceptable for current firefighters to work 72-hour shifts and is a
detriment to their health, safety and retention. Council Member Henley advised this is her top budget
priority and recommended each Council Member should share what their budget priorities are before the
last day of the budget reconciliation process.
Mayor Dyer advised that is a good suggestion and believes Council Member Taylor's suggestion for a
market salary survey should be included in the conversation. Mayor Dyer advised while this is a tight
budget, it is important for the Body to develop a plan to aggressively address these issues over the next
couple of years.
Vice Mayor Wilson advised one of the roles of the Vice Mayor is to usually call Council Members to discuss
the budget reconciliation and she will begin makingphone calls after tonight's last budget Public Hearing.
Vice Mayor Wilson believes more can be done to address the shortage of firefighters but is doubtful that
all sixty(60)vacancies can be funded.
Council Member Henley suggested having an effective date for some in July and another group with an
effective date in January would help relieve the impact on the budget and added, it's important everyone
realizes this will be a reoccurring issue. Council Member Henley advised her son is a firefighter and
understands the importance of filling the vacancies and explained when firefighters are working overtime,
they are paid time and a half which costs more.
Council Member Ross-Hammond advised she recently spoke to a firefighters wife who explained when her
husband is working 100 hours a week, she has to be both mom and dad. Council Member Ross-Hammond
empathized with the young mother and agreed additional staffing is an issue.

Council Member Wooten advised residents in District 7 are still looking forward to having a recreation
center in the District. Council Member Wooten advised she has requested fundingfor the recreation center
since first came on City Council and spoke to former City Manager Dave Hansen about a plan to
incorporate funding in the budget. Council Member Wooten advised last year she provided information to
the Body to show funding was approved in the CIP and an approved site has been identified at the
Charlestown Complex Center across from Royal Farms, off of Lynnhaven Parkway. Council Member
Wooten advised the study completed in 2020, shows data that there is a need for it and citizens submitted
a petition in support. Council Member Wooten advised Director Kirschman provided a recent follow up
survey on amenities and recreational services which showed there is still a need and asked the Body to
make the recreation center a priority in this budget. Council Member Wooten advised the funding that was
approved was put on hold last year but this year there is$60-Million available for Rudee Loop and believes
the recreation center should be given priority as it has been requested for over twenty(20)years. Council
Member Wooten also asked the Body to consider having the referendum she previously proposed added to
this November's ballot which would have a larger benefit to the City than just the District 7 recreation
center such as, underdeveloped parks, VB Trail,pickleball and several amenities.

financing and should be considered by the City. Council Member Remick advised cap fees were rebated
and saved a lot of money and lastly, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative(RGGI)was used and through
all of these programs, the developer was able to take incentive money to lower the rental fees. Council
