February 11, 2025 0 r ay Festival Taskforce Review and Recommendations for Operationalization City Council Briefing - February 11, 2025 Amanda Jarratt, Deputy City Manager Nancy Helman, Convention and Visitors Bureau Director 1 Today's Presentation • Seeking direction to empower staff to update: • Oceanfront Park Policy • Permit Application Fees • Outdoor Events & Entertainment Permit Guidebook 2 Summary • 16-member Council appointed committee to serve in an advisory capacity to propose revisions to the current Oceanfront Parks Policy and develop a festival funding criteria. • Citizens as well as representatives from the Hotel Association, Restaurant Association, Atlantic Ave. Association, Central Business District, Resort Advisory Commission, Minority Business Council, and Arts and Humanities Commission served. • 90-Day Festival Taskforce Recommendation presentation to Council by Chair Mauch was held on May 28, 2024, outlining the Guiding Principles the Taskforce recommended be incorporated into future policy making. • On July 9, staff presented to Council a follow up and discussion on potential for operationalizing. 3 Recommendations for Implementation • Update the current "Oceanfront Parks Policy" addressing events at the oceanfront... "Oceanfront Events Policy." PRIORITIES FOR USE OF OCEANFRONT "First Priority" The City's General Entertainment and Major Entertainment events have priority in scheduling. "Second Priority" Programs or events promoted by a third party/organization where the organization has 501(c)(3) non-profit tax-exempt status. Third Priority Private events which involve closing an oceanfront park and/or the sandy beach to the public for events that are associated with a convention, sports tourism or tourism group. "Fourth Priority" Ticketed events not associated with a convention or tourism group. These events are hosted by private organizations, businesses and charitable fundraisers where there is a cost to the public. "Fifth Priority" Include small events or functions, such as weddings and family reunions. These events will be deemed "nonexclusive" shall not be closed to the public. 4 Recommendations for Implementation FOOD VENDORS The ratio of food vendors per projected attendees in any oceanfront park ( 17th, 24th and 31st street oceanfront parks) not to exceed 1 food vendor per 500 attendees. Recommendations for Implementation • Increase in the permit application processing fees for one-day and two-day outdoor event permits. • The fees have not been increased over the last 20+ years. • Update the Outdoor Events & Entertainment Permit Guidebook, which is given to event producers, to incorporate Guiding Principles, criteria for compliance and creating an expectation for the planning process. 6 Next Steps • Seeking direction to empower staff to update the current Oceanfront Parks Policy, Outdoor Events & Entertainment Permit Guidebook, and modernize application fees with inclusion in the FY26 budget. Modernize Fee Structure Staff is also recommending an increase to the permit application processing fee for a one-day and two-day outdoor event permit. Permit fees have not increased in more than 20 years and are behind the rates of our competitive set. • One-day permit administrative fee is $75 to $150 • Two-day permit fee is $250 to $500. City code 4-1 dictates that an application fee is charged to offset administrative processing time by staff. 11 Departments review an application prior to issuing a permit. 9 iW two 6 CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFINGS 2024 CRIME STATISTICS UPDATE ITEM#76642 2:59 P.M.

During the Coastal Storm Risk Management Update, Council Members began a discussion regarding Federal Government funding which Mayor Dyer asked to be discussed during the City Council Discussion portion of the Meeting in order to allow the presentations to continue. Mayor Dyer asked Council Member Rouse if she would like to continue her comments now. Council Member Rouse advised the current issues within the Federal Government regardingfunding is not a partisan issue for her and believes the Body needs to be realistic about the changing landscape of government. Council Member Rouse advised there have already been efforts to stop the flow of federal funding and Federal Judges taking actions to intervene with the current Administration. Council Member Rouse expressed for the sake of the City's residents, the Body needs to be proactive and have a contingency plan in case federal funding stops to avoid a state of chaos. Council Member Berlucchi advised he does not disagree with Council Member Rouse's remarks but has issue with the delivery of the message mentioned earlier and asked that the Body is considerate of the diversity of views that exist throughout the City. Council Member Berlucchi provided the example of recent comments starting out, "with all of the craziness coming out of Washington"and added, there was a lot of craziness that came out of Washington the previous four (4)years, including adding trillions of dollars to the national debt, but nobody said it then. Council Member Berlucchi expressed the Body has done a good job working together across partisan lines and different demographics to be productive as a Body and it is not helpful to inject partisan politics in conversations about the City's relationship with the Federal Government is not helpful in building bridges that are needed. Council Member Henley advised her previous comment regarding the Federal Government was directly related to the presentation on the project that requires billions of dollars and believes it is only right to have input from the Federal Government who will have to provide a portion of the funding before it moves forward. Council Member Henley mentioned that during the recent City Council Retreat, the Body discussed the importance of not overpromising initiatives to residents. Council Member Henley expressed concern due to the magnitude of the project with the number of roads that would need to be raised and floodwalls that would need to be built around communities, the Body should continue with the study, but the Body should have more discussions before committing to a plan. Council Member Henley advised she has advocated for several years to re-establish the Body's practice of having regularly scheduled meetings with the City's State and Congressional counterparts. Council Member Henley advised the Body used to have two or three annual meetings with Congressman Owen Pickett who would provide input on what he would or would not support and believes the Body has since lost touch with their counterparts. Council Member Henley advised it is essential for the Body to re-establish meetings and have close associations with the City's counterparts as the City is dependent on them for funding. Mayor Dyer expressed his appreciation to the Body for a great conversation with mutual respect for each other and his optimism going forward with the City's leadership and engaged residents. February 11, 2025 8 CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSIONANITMTIVES/COMMENTS ITEM#76643 (Continued) Council Member Remick believes the Body should hear from the City's Federal Lobbyists when it would be appropriate.

Council Member Cummings advised the City has no such requirement and believes having an Ordinance adopted would ensure communities maintain aesthetically pleasing boundaries. February 11, 2025 12 CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSIONIINITMTIVES/COMMENTS ITEM#76647 (Continued) Council Member Cummings advised there is an Ordinance that was adopted several years ago which requires any pool that is 37'or greater to have a lifeguard. Council Member Cummings believes the size was an arbitrary number and requested to have the Ordinance amended to increase the size requirement to 40'or greater. Council Member Cummings advised it is his understanding the Seagate community pool is 39'and is the only pool in the City that falls between 37'and 40'. February 11, 2025 13 CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION/INITIATIVES/COMMENTS ITEM#76648 (Continued) Council Member Cummings advised during the City Council Retreat, the Body discussed possible changes to Open Dialogue and believes he has a favorable proposal. Council Member Cummings suggested continuing to hold Open Dialogue the first City Council Meeting each month but changing the number of monthly meetings for citizens to speak on any topic they want to four (4) meetings during the year and limiting the remaining 8 (eight) monthly meetings for citizens to only speak on topics related to City business. Mayor Dyer asked City Attorney Stiles if there would be any legal conflicts with the proposed change. City Attorney Stiles advised it is legally sufficient in that it provides the scope of what can be discussed in that forum, the difficulty will be for the Chair to determine what is the definition of City business. City Attorney Stiles cautioned that is where the jeopardy lies and would require a very thoughtful definition. Mayor Dyer expressed his appreciation to Council Member Cummings for bringing this initiative and suggested having more discussion at a future City Council Meeting. February 11, 2025 14 CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSIONANITL4TIVES/COMMENTS ITEM#76647 (Continued) Council Member Ross-Hammond advised on February 10`6, the Transportation District Commission of Hampton Roads (HRT)provided free transportation for Rosa Parks Day and honored Ms. Parks by leaving the first row empty.

Council Member Henley advised there has been a lot of discussion concerning the need to replace ambulances and would like to know if there is a similar issue with fire apparatuses and if it needs to be addressed.

City Manager Duhaney explained after purchasing, it can take between thirty- six(36) to forty-eight(48) months to receive the apparatus.
