Subject: FY 2024-25 Budget Reconciliation
Author: Patrick A. Duhaney, City Manage
Department: Budget and Management Services
Date: May 3, 2024
Type of Item: Informational—City Council Only
Focused Action Plan Initiative
Govern: 1.1 Review the budget schedule and process to identify and outline
opportunities for: (a) increased public engagement, (b) providing Council
information earlier, (c) gaining Council's guidance on property tax rates
earlier, and (d) providing alternate approaches for presenting budget
information to City Council for Council's consideration.
Summary
On May 7, City Council will engage in the FY 2024-25 Budget Reconciliation. At that time,
City Council's recommended amendments to the City Manager's Proposed Budget will be
discussed by the body as a whole.
Historically, City Council's amendments and staff requested changes are included in one
combined letter. To keep the workshop focused primarily on City Council's recommended
adjustments, any staff requested changes that will be submitted for your consideration have
been attached for review. None of these changes have a cost impact to the City, as most are
reorganizations of existing staff, or the acceptance of grants from outside organizations. On
Tuesday, staff will be available to answer any questions on these items if needed.
The City Council Reconciliation Letter from the Mayor and Vice Mayor will be shared at a
later time. Both Reconciliation letters will be available for the public to review ahead of the
budget adoption on May 14.
Should you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact me or Director of
Budget and Management Services, Kevin Chatellier, at 757-385-4112 or

The Honorable Robert "Bobby" M. Dyer, Mayor
Members of City Council
Subject: FY 2024-25 City Administration Reconciliation Requests: Virginia Beach Schools, Staff
Changes, and Grants
Dear Mr. Mayor and Members of City Council:
Since the presentation of the Proposed Budget on March 19, 2024, there have been a number of
organizational changes and grants awarded to the City that need to be incorporated into the FY
2024-25 Resource Management Plan. In addition,since the time of the City's budget development,
the Virginia Beach City Public School Board approved their Operating Budget and Capital
Improvement Program. The amendments to their budget from the Superintendent's Estimate of
Needs must be formally approved by City Council.
Due to the number of changes, in an attempt to keep the May 7, 2024, Reconciliation workshop
focused primarily on City Council's recommended adjustments,these staff recommended changes
are outlined within this document for your review and consideration. None of these changes have
a cost impact to the City, as most are reorganizations of existing staff, or the acceptance of grants
from outside organizations. On Tuesday, staff will be available to answer any questions on these
items if needed.
Virginia Beach City Public Schools
On March 12, 2024, the School Board of Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS) unanimously
adopted its annual budget. Its adopted budget had modifications from the proposed
Superintendent's Estimate of Needs that are outlined below for City Council's consideration.
1) Increase the Schools Consolidated Grant Fund by$500,000 in miscellaneous grant revenue
to fight youth vaping and nicotine addiction as a result of a legal settlement with J U U L Labs,
an e-cigarette manufacturer.
Mayor and Council Members
FY 2024-25 City Administration Reconciliation Requests
May 3, 2024

2) Reduce the School Operating Fund by a total of 17.5 FTEs and $5,648,542 within the
following categories:
a. Instruction—9.0 FTEs and $1,784,124
b. Administration-4.0 FTEs and $314,315
c. Pupil Transportation- 1.0 FTEs and $2,468,246
d. Operations and Maintenance- 1.5 FTEs and $709,525
e. Technology- 2.0 FTEs and $372,332
3) Reduce the Parks and Recreation School Landscaping Fund by$479,979 and 6.0 FTEs. This
reduction keeps the budget of this fund level from the previous fiscal year and will result
in increased mowing cycles within school property.
4) Amend the scope of the three school modernization CIP projects (Project 601028 B.F.
Williams Elementary/Bayside 6th Replacement, Project 601015 Princess Anne High School
Replacement, and Project 601029 Bayside High School Replacement) to include the
following language:
It is understood that the administration and School Board will revisit the education
specifications for this project with an intention to find efficiencies of size and scale
prior to or during the design process/community input process. Programmed
Funding / new construction amount is partly based on 2023 Educational
Specifications. Educational Specifications and the associated designs will be
reviewed under a separate process with the School Board which may result in a
change in square footage and cost. New construction projects will not go out for bid
without School Board approval separate from this CIP.
The changes to the School Operating Budget result in the reduction of funding for replacement
school buses,extend the maintenance cycle for landscape services,reduce contractual employees
and positions within central administration, and reduce the number of secondary assistant
principals, and library media assistants. A full list of the reductions made as presented by the
Superintendent to City Council on March 26, 2024, as well as the adopted resolutions from the
School Board, are attached to this letter.
The City Manager's proposed budget included a negative reserve of$5,866,750 within the Schools
Operating Budget as a result of the proposed real estate tax rate of 97C and the establishment of
a grace period for penalties and interest resulting in less revenue than initially provided to Schools
through the Revenue Sharing Formula. At the time of its budget adoption,VBCPS was unaware of
the loss of revenue through the funding formula as a result of the newly established grace period.
For that reason, following the adoption of the City's budget on May 14, a negative reserve of
$218,208 will remain within the School Operating Fund, which will require the School Board to
take further action to reconcile the difference. It is possible it could take this action during a future
point in time when their budget is amended to reflect revenue changes approved in the state
budget expected to be adopted later this month.

City of Virginia Beach Staffing Changes
Several other items are recommended to be amended during Reconciliation to better align
resources with the community and organizational needs within the Operating Budget. These
changes have no net cost impact and are within the departments of Human Services, Economic
Development, Planning, Human Resources, Emergency Medical Services, and Communications.
1) In order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of hiring within the Department of
Human Services, seven positions totaling $472,874 currently budgeted in the Human
Services recruitment division shall be moved to the central Department of Human
Resources. The goals of this centralization are to provide direct HR support and guidance
to staff and to improve the candidate and hiring manager experience by shortening hiring
timelines, improving internal customer service with hiring managers, and decreasing the
number of start date delays.
2) In accordance with direction provided by the Department of Criminal Justice Services, 5.0
FTEs equal to $321,726 are needed within the Human Service's Community Corrections
and Pretrial Services grant allocation. Due to the number of vacancies within the
department, the department has requested the 5.0 FTEs be reallocated from the General
Fund to the Grant Fund. There will be no impact on the General Fund as the General Fund
transfer to the Grant Fund must increase to offset the cost of the positions within the grant
fund.
3) In support of the initiative to centralize and align communication services, creative
services, and public affairs across the organization, 1.0 FTE ($80,163) from EMS and 1.0
FTE ($115,599) from Human Services are hereby transferred to the Office of
Communications.
4) One position is hereby moved from the Department of Economic Development to the
Department of Planning with the Project Development Team (formerly Strategic Growth
Area Office). The Project Development Team was shifted to Planning during the FY 2024-
25 budget development for efficiencies and effectiveness. At that time this position was
vacant. Since then, it has been filled. The Project Development Team is more appropriate
organizationally for the function of the position.
Capital Improvement Program Changes
Public Works Engineering Support along with the City's legislative affairs team works tirelessly to
apply for federal and state funding opportunities to ensure our Capital Improvement Program has
adequate funding to meet the needs of the community for major infrastructure projects.Since the
time of the proposed budget the following changes to the CIP need to be made based on additional
federal earmarks and grant awards:

Description
This project will construct an approximately 30,000 sq.ft,Critical Operations Facility at the Landstown maintenance yard on Nimmo Road. The newly
constructed facility will house PW Stormwater Operations,the Traffic Management Center(TMC),and various support personnel during normal daily
operations and during natural and/or man-made disasters in the preparation,monitoring,and recovery stages of an event. The facility will monitor
stormwater conditions and the City's transportation network 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 also include workstations,
touchdown stations,bunkrooms,locker rooms,showers,expanded kitchen,whole building generator,and other amenities required in a critical operations
facility. The facility will be constructed to withstand wind,blast,and other loads based on current and projected threats.The project will also include site
work,parking,stormwater features,ADA features,and other code requirements.
Purpose
The existing facility has remained largely unchanged for over 40 years as both threats due to weather and human caused events have evolved.
Additionally,Virginia Beach is currently implementing a comprehensive Flood Protection Program that includes the design and construction of flood
mitigation projects that will have a ripple effect that safeguards homes,protects businesses,responsibly addresses stormwater issues,and combats the
effects of recurrent flooding throughout Virginia Beach for generations to come. A comprehensive Joint Operations Center is required to effectively
manage the City's existing stormwater infrastructure,new stormwater facilities that will be constructed in Phase I of the Flood Protection Program,as well
as the growing demands on current and future transportation systems throughout the City. The newly constructed facility will ensure select Public Works
Operations staff can managed normal daily operations and respond to natural and/or man-made disasters in the preparatory,monitoring,and recovery
stages of an event to minimize the likelihood of possible injury,death,and property damage or loss through proactive and centralized traffic and
stormwater management. The new facility will be modern,safe,secure,flexible,properly conditioned,energy efficient,and will meet evolving public
safety needs of a growing,modern city.
History and Current Status
The current Public Works facilities located on this site were constructed in the 1970s and have been augmented with temporary buildings since that time
to meet increasing space demands and evolving public needs.The building is not currently configured to support the current organization as technology,
weather conditions,and public needs have evolved since its original construction. Furthermore,the existing facility cannot support the flood mitigation
projects being constructed over the next decade,that will include pump stations,tide gates,flood barriers,weirs,drainage pipe improvements and
outfalls.The current facilities do not meet security standards and do not provide adequate space to meet evolving public needs. Structures and electrical
distribution lacks proper resiliency and are energy inefficient and costly to operated and maintain.This project first appaeared in the FY 2024-25 CIP with
federal funding from the 2024 Congressionally Directed Spending fudning bill.

The purpose of this project is to increaase pedestrian safety and connectivity at the identified intersection. The updated signal timing at fifteen(15)
intersections to include leading pedestrian intervals(LPI)gives pedestrians the opportunity to enter the crosswalk at an intersection 3-7 seconds before
vehicles are given a green indication.Pedestrians can better establish their presence in the crosswalk before vehicles have priority to turn right or left.
Other safety improvements include the addition of advance signage to alert drivers of pedestrian crossings,Accessible Pedestrian Signals(APS),high
visibility crosswalks,and ADA-compliant curb ramps.
History and Current Status
The Leading Pedestrian Interval Intersection Improvements project was award Highway Safety Improvement Program(HSIP)funds in April 2024,UPC

Members of City Council
Subject: FY 2024-25 Resource Management Plan Reconciliation
Dear City Council Members:
Following our budget community conversation and our budget retreat,on March 19,2024,the City
Manager and Director of Budget and Management Services presented the Proposed FY 2024-25
Resource Management Plan. Over the course of the last seven weeks, the City Council has heard
briefings from each department director and Capital Improvement Program section manager to get
a more detailed understanding of how resources are allocated across the city.
During this time, City Council also received a Budget and Capital Improvement Program briefing
by Virginia Beach City Public Schools(VBCPS).Amendments made as a part of the reconciliation
process fully reflect the FY 2024-25 Adopted Virginia Beach City Public Schools Budget as it was
unanimously approved on March 12th, 2024. One additional amendment will need to occur as a
follow up action to reflect the reduction of revenue associated with the establishment grace period
for penalties and interest on Real Estate and Personal Property taxes. It is possible that this action
could occur at a future time when VBCPS amends their budget to appropriate an estimated $17
million in additional revenue from the State. Although the State budget is not yet approved, $17
million was the estimated amount provided by VBCPS staff at the budget briefing.
The City Council also held two public hearings, and received feedback from the community
through Balancing Act, SpeakUp VB, via email, and through social media. Using all of this
information, we have worked as a collective body to make recommendations to balance the needs
of the community to finalize the proposed budget as outlined below.
1) In support of the City's vibrant arts and cultural community, 20%of the amusement tax an
amount equal to $1,613,524, shall be redirected from the Tourism Investment Program
(TIP) Fund to the General Fund within a dedicated reserve. The funds shall remain in the
reserve until the Department of Cultural Affairs, in coordination with the City Manager's
Office, develops a comprehensive plan for use to be reviewed and considered by the City
Council. The plan for use should include opportunities for local and non-traditional artists.
Members of City Council
FY 2024-25 Operating Budget and CIP Reconciliation
Page 12
The reduction in revenue within the TIP fund shall be replaced with the use of fund balance
within the fund.
2) The City Manager shall provide a report to the City Council outlining options for
diversifying the City's tax structure including but not limited to developing a policy on
annual real estate revenue growth, potential additional revenue sources, and modifying
personal property tax rates to provide a more equitable tax base for both property and non-
property owners to ensure relief is provided to the people who need it most. Any policy
decision shall strive to maintain existing services and provide flexibility to adequately plan
for the future.
3) As a result of direction provided by City Council at the Retreat, included within the City
Manager's Proposed Budget was a 2%reduction to all Regional Grant organizations,with
limited exceptions for those with a formal agreement with the City. When communicating
to organizations their FY 2024-25 awards, staff shall include language within the grant
award indicating that the City Council will continue to assess strategic partnerships with
non-profit agencies over the coming months to ensure grant awards are consistent with
existing City Council priorities.The grant reporting due May 1,2024,will be used to assess
the impact of the non-profit's programming for residents of Virginia Beach.
4) The volunteer rescue squads play an integral role in emergency response within Virginia
Beach. Historically, the City has provided zero interest loans to the individual nonprofit
rescue squads to purchase ambulances. The ambulances are owned by the squads and
maintained by the city in the partnership for EMS services. Over time, the cost of
ambulances has significantly increased, and the nonprofits' ability to fimdraise for
repayment has become increasingly difficult. The City Manager shall, over the course of
the next budget process,provide the City Council options, different from historic practice,
for the future procurement of ambulances to ensure sustainability for both nonprofits and
the City.
5) The City Manager shall provide a report to the City Council using the Interfacility Traffic
Area (ITA) Master Plan as the guide that shall include a high-level implementation plan
and estimated costs to develop the ITA in terms of recreational uses,to enhance the existing
Princess Anne Commons recreational area and to preserve the natural areas within the ITA.
6) The City Manager shall provide a report to the City Council in the fall of 2024 of the City's
Tree Mitigation Plan, including planned use of the tree mitigation funds received from
Dominion Energy for the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project.
7) Increase the Department of Public Works Operating Budget by $20,000 for the one-time
continuation of the two portable bathrooms in the parking lot at Fentress Avenue and
Oceanfront Avenue. This location is in a heavily visited area and is the only beach parking
lot along the western portion of the Bayfront. Due to a lack of public restrooms, nearby
Members of City Council
FY 2024-25 Operating Budget and CIP Reconciliation
Page 13
businesses and homeowners are experiencing a high volume of beachgoers who want
access to their restroom facilities. This cost will be offset by the use of fund balance within
the General Fund.
8) Increase the Planning Department's budget by $60,000 to provide funding for the VA250
Commission. The VA250 Commission is a state appointed Commission that was
established by the Virginia General Assembly in 2020 to commemorate the American
Revolution.The Virginia Beach committee consists of 16 recently appointed members who
meet monthly.Grant opportunities are available from the state for marketing and for events
with a maximum award of$10,000. To qualify for events grants, localities must produce
smaller events in each of the two years leading up to the grand events in 2026. Funding is
needed to support preliminary events in FY 2024-25 and to support planning and
coordination efforts. This cost will be offset by the use of fund balance within the General
Fund.
9) Increase the Police Department's operating budget by $35,000 to provide funding to
replace the fencing at the Animal Care and Adoption Facility to meet industry best
practices and improve the safety of animals, employees, and visitors to the facility. This
cost will be offset by the use of fund balance within the General Fund.
10)Following the successful Parks After Dark programming within Williams Farm Park, the
Parks and Recreation Department shall expand the program to the Green Run area of the
City. An additional 3.1 FTEs and $353,012 shall be added to the department for
implementation of this programming for the summer of 2025. Similarly to the Williams
Farm event, Parks and Recreation plans to work with the Police Department and Virginia
Beach City Public Schools to measure the success of Parks After Dark, and success will be
measured by the number of participants, as well as violent incidents by type within the
geographic area of the program. This cost will be offset by the use of fund balance within
the General Fund. The City Manager shall give consideration to ongoing funding for this
proposal in FY 2025-26.
11)In response to recent staffing shortages that have caused significant overtime and excessive
personnel work hours, an additional 13.0 FTEs and associated equipment totaling
$1,349,821 shall be added to the Fire Department, bringing the total amount added in FY
2024-25 to 30.0.The addition of these positions will allow the department to further reduce
overtime and firefighter fatigue which could contribute to turnover rates and enhance safety
of the firefighters and the community. The City Manager shall give consideration to the
remaining 30.0 requested positions of the initial 60.0 FTE ask in the FY 2025-26 budget
process.
12)On April 16, 2024, City Council authorized 2.0 FTEs within the General Fund for the
Department of Emergency Medical Services to establish a pharmaceutical program.
Because this program was established after the proposed budget, the FTEs and associated
Members of City Council
FY 2024-25 Operating Budget and CIP Reconciliation
Page 14
operating costs for medication restocks must be reauthorized as a part of reconciliation.
The total estimated cost for the program in FY 2024-25 is$560,915.
13)Create a dedicated reserve within the General Fund in the amount of$250,000 and to
authorize the City Manager to conduct an updated market salary survey. The last survey
was authorized in FY 2020-21 and the City Council believes an updated survey is needed
to ensure the City is remaining competitive in the marketplace. The City Manager shall
provide a report to the City Council on the findings for potential inclusion within the FY
2025-26 Operating Budget. This cost will be offset by the use of fund balance within the
General Fund.
14)Recognizing the valuable impact youth sports has on our community,increase the General
Fund Non-Departmental Regional Grants by$66,858 to provide a one-time contribution to
Men of Faith's basketball camp($30,000)and Great Neck Athletic Association($36,858).
The Men of Faith basketball camp will be held at the Virginia Beach Sports Center and
children who attend this camp will be provided with an experience that includes technical
skill improvement as well as mentorship.Great Neck Athletic Association's citywide youth
tackle football program provides youth a positive, safe environment to learn the
fundamentals of the sport. This cost will be offset by the use of fund balance within the
General Fund.
15) Increase the General Fund Non-Departmental Regional Grants by $100,000 to provide a
one-time contribution to the LAMBS Foundation in support of their annual Juneteenth
festival in the summer of 2025. This cost will be offset by the use of fund balance within
the General Fund. Future funding is contingent on further direction from the City Council
following the report from the 90 Day Festival Task Force.
16)Increase the General Fund Non-Departmental Regional Grants by $90,000 to provide a
one-time increased contribution to Hampton Roads Pride in support of their annual Pride
at the Beach Festival in the summer of 2025.The total grant for Hampton Roads Pride will
be $99,800. This increased amount will be offset by the use of fund balance within the
General Fund. Future funding is contingent on further direction from the City Council
following the report from the 90 Day Festival Task Force.
17)Increase the General Fund Non-Departmental Regional Grants by $50,000 to provide a
one-time contribution to the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame. The mission of the Virginia
Sports Hall of Fame is to serve as a non-profit resource which celebrates athletic excellence
in the Commonwealth of Virginia, highlighting philanthropy through sports, while
inspiring sports fans through programming and engaging entertainment. As a Regional
Grant, the organization will be required to provide a report on the use of funding and the
impact on Virginia Beach residents. This cost will be offset by the use of fund balance
within the General Fund.
Members of City Council
FY 2024-25 Operating Budget and CIP Reconciliation
Page 15
18)Increase Non-Departmental Regional Grants by $50,000 to provide one-time additional
funding to the Virginia African American Cultural Center. This one-time increase will
bring the City's total contribution to the organization to $99,000 in FY 2024-25. This cost
will be offset by the use of fund balance within the General Fund.
19)Increase Non-Departmental Community Organization Grants by $251,034. This one-time
additional funding will bring the total allocation to $750,000 in FY 2024-25. The City
Manager shall give consideration to increasing the historic $1.10 per capita allocation in
the development of the FY 2025-26 budget in an attempt to sustain the $750,000 funding
level.
20) The proposed budget included an allocation of funding to support a 3.5% compensation
increase and associated benefits costs to constitutional offices. Since that time,the Virginia
Compensation Board released updated annual contribution amounts for each constitutional
office. This revenue increase partially offsets the locally funded compensation increases.
In total, these amounts are $2,142,256 greater than the amounts included within the
proposed budget and this additional revenue redirection partially offsets the increases
associated with items 1-19 in this letter. Of the total$2.1 million, $1.7 million is estimated
to be for the Sheriff s Special Revenue Fund.This amount will be reduced from the General
Fund Transfer to the Sheriff.
It is further recommended that the FY 2024-25 through FY 2029-30 Capital Improvement Program
be adopted as presented by the City Manager with the following modifications.
21)Increase the year one appropriations of Project 100399 "Strategic Development Projects"
by $250,000. Of this funding, $220,000 will be used for additional placemaking signage
for historically African American communities within the City. The remaining $30,000
will be for signage within Princess Anne Plaza neighborhood specifically on South Plaza
Trail that was hit and destroyed by a drunk driver in December 2023. This cost will be
offset by the use of fund balance within the General Fund.
22)Establish Project 100682"Woodstock Road Sidewalk"and program$150,000 in year-one
of the Capital Improvement Program for preliminary design of a sidewalk on the western
side of Woodstock Road from New Song Fellowship Church to Walker Road. This project
will provide pedestrian connectivity between two segments of existing sidewalk allowing
for safer access to Woodstock Cove Park and Woodstock Elementary School. This cost
will be offset by the use of fund balance within the General Fund. The remaining balance
to complete on the project is $2,353,000.
23)Transfer $1 million in existing locally funded appropriations from Project 100511
"Southern Rivers Watershed Site Acquisition Program" to Project 100660 "Indian River
Road Safety Improvements."These funds,combined with previously appropriated funding
in the amount of $500,000 shall assist Public Works in the initial design of roadway
improvements to help secure potential grant opportunities.

24)Included within the proposed budget is $7 million from the Commonwealth for Project
100511 "Southern Rivers Watershed Site Acquisition Program" for stormwater
encroachment resilience activities and natural space preservation in the Southern Rivers
Watershed and Chowan River Basin. Reimbursement on the use of these funds is pending
approval from the Department of Environmental Quality.
