Vice Mayor Rosemary Wilson DISCLOSED that she is a real estate agent affiliated with Howard Hanna
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
a matter in which she has a 'personal interest," as defined in the Act, she will file the appropriate
disclosure letter to be recorded in the official records of the City Council. Vice Mayor Wilson regularly

("Colliers')which is a commercial real estate services company. Because of the size and nature of Colliers
and the volume of transactions it handles in any given year, Colliers has an interest in numerous matters
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
City Council in which Colliers has an interest in the transaction and he has no personal knowledge of that
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
agenda for each meeting of the City Council to identify any matters in which he might have an actual or
potential conflict. If, during review of the agenda for a Council meeting, he identifies a matter in which he
has a 'personal interest,"as defined by the Act, either individually or as an employee of Colliers, he will
file the appropriate disclosure or abstention letter to be recorded in the official records of the City Council.
