• Council frequently discussed possibility of referendum where people could ask General Assembly directly to
change charter if that is public's will
• Attorney staff has briefed Council regarding pending litigation and conflict between redistricting ordinance and Charter
provision in closed session, and sought direction on how best to proceed
• Referendum is one possibility to potentially break stalemate in General Assembly
• No election system referendum has been held since legal challenges began in 2017
• Last election system referendum was 1996
Charter Change Referendum Basics
• Referendum to seek Charter change authorized by Va. Code § 15.2-201
• Must be a "yes" or "no" question — i.e., Should Charter be amended?
• Question must be briefly stated using plain English
• If referendum question passes, proposed Charter amendment must be delivered to
member(s) of Virginia Beach General Assembly delegation for introduction at next General
Assembly session
• Referendum question submitted to/approved by Circuit Court no later than August 15, 2025
• Referendum question appears on November 4, 2025 general election ballot citywide
• City staff cannot advocate for or against referendum question
• May educate public
• May disseminate neutral explanation of question written by City Attorney
• City Council members may advocate for or against referendum question
• City Council may be unable to implement public's preferred method regardless of outcome
Proposed Referendum Question
Should the method of city council elections set forth in the Virginia Beach
City Charter be changed from a modified 7-3-1 system to a 10-1 system?
A "yes" vote means that you support the 10-1 system, which was used in
the 2022 and 2024 city council elections. In the 10-1 system, the city is
divided into 10 districts and the voters of each district elect a single
council member with the mayor elected at-large (city-wide).
A "no" vote means you support the 7-3-1 system described in the current
city charter as modified by a general law change that occurred in 2021. In
the modified 7-3-1 system, the city is divided into 7 districts and the
voters of each district elect a single council member, with three other
council members and the mayor elected at-large (city-wide).
Explanation of Referendum Question
• This referendum asks whether the public wishes to request the General Assembly
amend the City Charter to reflect the 10-1 election system used in the 2022 and
2024 elections (YES) or to retain the 7-3-1 election system stated in the Charter as
amended by general law in 2021 (NO)
• The purpose of this referendum is to address a conflict between the Charter and
the City's redistricting ordinance. A "YES" vote would re-submit the 10-1 Charter
amendment to the General Assembly. A "NO" vote would indicate a desire to use
the modified 7-3-1 system in future elections
Public Education
• 63% of respondents in June 2023 University of Virginia Weldon Cooper Center for
Public Service community survey supported Council doing referendum on
election system options
• Total # of Voters: 348,643 (as of January 1, 2025) - 66% voter turnout Nov. 2024
• Past public education campaign budgets: $383,174.85 for election system input;
$251,263.66 for redistricting

Initiatives Underway
An increase in VBPD and VBSO Body-Worn Cameras and in-car cameras videos is expected to
increase the workload for CWA attorneys and support staff.
The revisions to Virginia's jury sentencing process and discovery rules have significantly
heightened the workload for attorneys and paralegals, both in trial preparation and court time.
w.. The Office is taking on additional cases for prosecution, which includes school threats. CWA also
ow received a 3-year grant to help fund the prosecution of misdemeanor concealed weapons charges.
w _ _ We are expecting a Victim Witness Grant funding decrease in FY 2025-26. FY 2024 grant funding
faced a 10% reduction in funding. VOCA funds are projected to be cut further in the upcoming
fiscal years.
SB1466— Bill for Sealing Criminal Records: This bill provides comprehensive reforms to Virginia's
criminal record sealing and expungement processes therefore directly impacting the Office of the
Commonwealth's Attorneys processes. The bill establishes new procedures for automatically
sealing certain criminal records and creates new pathways for individuals to petition for record
sealing.
_s State staffing standards will recommend additional attorney positions for the Office to assist with
the prosecution of felony cases.
Initiatives Underway • Conclusion■ In tandem with the Virginia Beach Circuit Court, the Office of the
Commonwealth's Attorney administers the Virginia Beach Drug Treatment Court,
which is an alternative sentencing court related to adult drug offenders.
Collectively, we are also working to add additional specialty courts to include a
Veteran's Court and a Juvenile Drug Court. These would also be non-traditional
methods of resolving offenses aside from normal criminal proceedings.
The Office is working with the VBPD on a process to receive digital files so that we
can move closer to a digital office.
The Office of the Commonwealth's Attorney is focusing on mental health with the
Peer Support Program and service dog, Zuhey.

Major Changes
• Just within the past 6 months we have installed a new feature
to our land records system — the Property Notification
System. This allows citizens to sign up to receive immediate
notification if any record regarding their property or
registered name is recorded. This is extremely helpful in
providing customers peace of mind to be able to address a
problem sooner rather than later.
• The use of e-File VA continues to grow with more law firms
signing up for filing documents electronically. This continues
to save our staff significant processing time while also saving
time for the users.
Our electronic concealed carry permit program also
r continues to grow, and we are processing an average of 500
per month with extreme efficiency for the citizen. The wait
-= — time has been significantly cut down for the first time
_: � applicant.
Initiatives Underway 1 • Conclusion
• We finally have all the pieces in place and the approval to install a
new jury system which is taking place now which will increase
efficiency for the citizens who are called upon to serve on a jury as
well as staff.
• We also were successful in helping the Voter Registrar's office in
obtaining a new building to improve the election process. Her
current building has not been adequate for a very long time and
having to compete for space to conduct a transparent and efficient
election has been daunting to say the least. The Clerk's Office staff
has a significant role in helping the Registrar's staff on election
night in taking in the equipment and the ballots for the 110
precincts. A new building with the proper renovations will help

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

Exhibit A
Attainable Workforce Housing Performance Grant
Program Policy
Purpose of Program
The purpose of the City of Virginia Beach Attainable Workforce Housing Performance (AWHP)
Grant is to provide an incentive for applicants to construct, own, and operate new affordable
rental housing units in the City of Virginia Beach.
Affordable housing units are those units that will be rented and affordable to households with
an annual income at or below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI), adjusted for household
size, as established by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
for the Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News, VA-NC HUD Metro FMR Area for the applicable
year of the grant period.
Background
To combat the affordable housing shortage, to further economic development, and specifically
to incentivize the development of affordable housing across the Commonwealth, the General
Assembly passed HB 1194 during the 2022 Session, and it became effective on July 1, 2022.
HB1194 amended Ch. 49, Title 15.2 of the Code of Virginia, known as the "Industrial
Development and Revenue Bond Act," to allow local Development Authorities, in conjunction
with their local governing bodies, the power to make grants associated with the construction of
affordable housing.
Eligible Projects
• Projects must be new construction.
• Projects must be developed by a for-profit entity.
• Only new multi-family affordable rental housing units that have not started construction
as of a to-be-determined date are eligible for the AWHP Grant.
• Attainable Workforce Housing Performance Grant applicants must have a demonstrable
gap in project financing, as evidenced by their development and operating pro forma.
• Eligible projects may be fully affordable or mixed-income, and may also be mixed-use
(i.e., with commercial and residential components).
Page of
• Projects that involve the demolition of existing rental housing units only to build a
minimum 20%additional affordable housing units.
Ineligible Projects
• The following projects are not eligible:
• Projects that involve only the purchase and/or rehabilitation of existing housing units.
• Projects that have already started construction as of a to-be-determined date.
• Projects that do not have a demonstrable gap in project financing as evidenced by their
development and operating pro forma.
• Developments that are produced by a non-profit entity that is already exempt from
paying real estate taxes.
Grant Award
Duration and Timing:
The Attainable Workforce Housing Performance Grant is for 15 years. The grant period may be
extended another 15- year period for a total grant period of 30 years if the recipient complies
with the capital reinvestment terms set forth below.
The Attainable Workforce Housing Performance Grant period commences on July 1st of the first
real estate tax year following the applicant's completion of the project's construction, as
evidenced by receipt of a temporary or permanent Certificate of Occupancy and ends on the
last day of the 15th real estate tax year following the grant commencement date, or the 30th
tax year, if the grant period is extended.
Amount and Payment:
The amount of the performance grant is capped at 100% of the amount of incremental new real
estate taxes to be levied and collected for improvements on the Project Site. This amount may
be adjusted to reflect the percentage of residential square footage to the total gross square
footage of the structure(s) and the percentage of the number of affordable rental housing units
to the number of total residential rental units.
A Grant amount of two (2) times the Performance Grant Percentage, up to 100% of the
incremental value, is available to a qualified property when twenty percent (20%) or more of
the residential units are affordable at or below 50%of the Area Median Income. The amounts
subject to this increase are not subject to the amount of incremental new real estate taxes.
The Attainable Workforce Housing Performance Grant is payable by the City of Virginia Beach
Development Authority ("VBDA") upon proof of full and timely payment of the property's real
estate tax levy for the applicable payment period and proof of compliance with all requirements
of the grant agreement. The VBDA's obligations would be funded via and subject to a
corresponding appropriation by the Virginia Beach City Council.
Page 2 of 4
Terms/Conditions for Award
The recipient of an Attainable Workforce Housing Performance Grant will be required to sign a
grant agreement outlining the terms and condition of the award.
Recipients of an award must:
1. Adhere to the project construction timeline based on the effective date of the grant
agreement by submitting a plan of development within 9 months, commencing
project construction within 18 months, and completing construction within 3 years.
2. Strive for a goal of 50%small, woman, and minority(SWaM) business participation
during the construction phase of development. The recipient is required to submit
to the City's SWaM Office a report detailing all expenditures with minority business
enterprises and emerging small businesses.
3. Provide detailed updates and verifications to the City of the applicant's progress
regarding the completion of the project construction and, following Project
construction, of recipient's continued control, maintenance, and operation of the
Project throughout the 15-30 year grant period.
4. Restrict occupancy and rents of the Project throughout the 15-30 year grant period
according to the schedule that will be outlined in the Grant Agreement. Ongoing
compliance monitoring and approvals by Virginia Housing provided to the City will
serve as evidence of the recipient's compliance with the occupancy and rent
restrictions
5. Notify the VBDA and City of any material change in the project's financing structure
occurring after an award is made.
For projects with a 30-year performance period, the Project Owner will be required to make an
agreed upon reinvestment in capital improvements to the Project to ensure the ongoing upkeep
and livability of all the rental units prior to the 15th year of service.
Any restructure in the project's financing or change in the Attainable Workforce Housing
Performance Grant Agreement after an award is approved may constitute a material change in
the approved application. The VBDA and the City of Virginia Beach understand the fluidity in the
current housing market and intend for this program to be as flexible as possible. However, a
material or substantial change in the project's financing structure may negate the approved
grant award and the submission of a new application may be needed. If a new application is
required, it must follow the same approval process as all performance grant applications. There
is no guarantee that an Attainable Workforce Housing Performance Grant will be approved.
Award Process
1. The Project Owner completes an application to include its project in the Attainable
Workforce Housing Performance Grant Program. After receipt of the application,
[Housing/ED/special group designated for this purpose] reviews internally to
Page 3 of 4
determine if project could qualify and to assess if additional information is needed
from Project Owner. Staff could meet with Project Owner to discuss project to
determine if project is eligible as a participant in the program.
2. If the project is eligible for inclusion in the program, the City Manager will brief City
Council in closed session and, if directed to proceed, request the appointment of
grant liaisons. Subsequently, the VBDA will be briefed in closed session on the
project.
3. If not previously completed, the City will complete a study of the economic, fiscal
and social impacts of the project.
4. A term sheet may be developed, in concert with the City Attorney, and presented to
the City Council and VBDA for concurrence.
5. The project manager will undertake stakeholder and community input appropriate
for the size and scope of the proposed project.
6. A grant agreement, setting forth all the terms and conditions of the proposed
Attainable Workforce Housing Performance Grant is developed between the VBDA
and the Project Owner.
7. On completion, the grant agreement will be presented to City Council and the VBDA
for approval. Along with the grant agreement, a support agreement wherein the
City agrees, subject to appropriation, to provide sufficient funds to the VBDA to meet
its obligations under the grant agreement.
