Council Member Remick advised members of the Resort Advisory Commission (RAC) have discussed options to enhance Atlantic Avenue at a lower cost and believes the Body will be receiving that information soon. City Manager Duhaney advised after the Body received the presentation, the Body directed staff to provide options that included completing the 40-block project at$48-Million with multiple tiers at different price points to see what could be accomplished. City Manager Duhaney advised staff has been working with the consultant to compile the information and expects the Body will receive it within the next couple of weeks. Vice Mayor Wilson advised if the Body chooses the option to enhance the 40-block area, she recommends having a small advisory task force comprised of members from the Atlantic Avenue Association, RAC and hoteliers to provide recommendations on the types of enhancements such as, sidewalks, lighting and planters. March 11, 2025 7 CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION/INITLITIVES/COMMENTS ITEM#76 754 (Continued) Council Member Remick advised RAC has expressed concern for public transit within the Resort Area since the Freebee ride share program ended last fall and requested the Body revisit this issue.

Vice Mayor Wilson believes people will not mind paying a nominal amount in order to have the service. Council Member Ross-Hammond advised she would like to be included on discussions as she serves on Hampton Roads Transit and would like to work together to see what is best.

Council Member Rouse expressed her appreciation to Mr. Camp for all of his hard work to advocate for ATAC initiatives, most notably being the VB Trail. Council Member Rouse also expressed her appreciation to Mr. Brian Hickman who was elected to serve as the new Chair. March 11, 2025 9 CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION/mniTIVES/COMMENTS ITEM#76756 (Continued) Council Member Rouse requested the Body's input on the proposed Ordinances regarding the membership of several Appointive Agencies, explaining during the recent City Council Retreat the Body discussed removing City Council Members as appointed members and serving as Liaisons instead to avoid issues with obtaining a quorum. Council Member Rouse advised as she was reviewing the proposed Ordinances, she realized some High School Student Members are appointed as voting members and other are non- voting and wanted to know if the Body would like to make any changes to standardize their appointments before the Ordinances are adopted. Mayor Dyer expressed he is not comfortable with students serving as voting members, but the appointments should be standardized across all Appointive Agencies. Council Member Schulman asked if it is legal for students to vote? City Attorney Stiles advised he is not aware of any limitation on students to vote if City Council appoints them to serve as voting members and asked Deputy City Attorney Ingram to comment. Deputy City Attorney Ingram advised students can be appointed as voting members and concurred with Council Member Rouse that there are different standards for student members depending on the Appointive Agency. Deputy City Attorney Ingram advised the Human Rights Commission has had students appointed as voting members for over a decade and explained, as students are added to the composition of Appointed Agency's, he takes the information provided by the requesting Council Member to draft the change to the Agency's composition. Deputy City Attorney Ingram advised the difference for the proposed ATAC Ordinance is to remove students from serving as appointed members and designating them as participates, adding this would allow students to gather with one (1) or two (2) ATAC members without triggering a public meeting and requiring public notice three(3)days in advance. Council Member Schulman advised however the Body decides, especially for the students who are serving as voting members now, it is important they know the Body values their participation and cautioned against taking anything away from student member appointments that may be negatively misconstrued. Mayor Dyer invited City Clerk Barnes to comment. City Clerk Barnes expressed her concern by removing students as members and having them serve as "designees", may take away from the value they currently provide and creates a new definition of members that will be difficult to track. City Clerk Barnes advised the Citizens Committee on Boards and Commissions worked for over two (2)years to update the program and recommended appointing student members to serve. City Clerk Barnes believes the value and level ofparticipation of the appointed student member's on ATAC is reflected in the Minutes she recently reviewed. City Clerk Barnes further advised many of the student members have higher aspirations and having a certificate from Mayor Dyer after they completed their term can significantly increase their opportunity as they apply to colleges or other future endeavors. March 11, 2025 10 CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSIONIINITIATIVES/COMMENTS ITEM#76 756 (Continued) Council Member Rouse advised she would like to keep the student members as appointed non-voting members on ATAC.
