CITY COUNCIL'S BRIEFING
BLUE RIBBON TAX, FEE AND SPENDING TASK FORCE EXPENDITURES REPORT
4:03 P.M.
Former Councilman Linwood Branch and Dr. Maggie Sizer, Chamber of Commerce
Representative, made this presentation, which is hereby made a part of these proceedings.
Mr. Branch introduced the first two (2)subcommittee reports regarding reducing the City's
dependence on the real estate tax as a revenue source. A Local Tax and Fee Subcommittee and a
Local Spending Subcommittee will develop spending policies and strategies to be supported and
defined by spending ratios and measures that guide and/or control spending within sustainable
levels.
Mr. Branch introduced Dr. Maggie Sizer, Chair—Expenditures Subcommittee. Dr. Sizer
reported the Committee feels it is imperatiave to frame the recommendations in this report by
stating some of the challenges the decision makers and stakeholders will be facing in the future,
such as changes, challenges, variance ability at impact of the budget process. Virginia Beach
has an opportunity not only to weather possible storms but to come out of a potentially difficult
time stronger than ever.
Councilman Eyer thanked the Council Members for the privilege of putting this Task Force
together as this was definitely a collaborative project. The process will hopefully be improved
even though faced with many challenges with the excessive taxes on residential property, which
is a problem that is faced every year. A process is being created where City Council. Staff and
the Citizens have a better working relationship with each other by simplifying the budget
process.

CITY COUNCIL'S BRIEFING
RESORT AREA STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN
4:55 P.M.
Jack Whitney, Director—Planning Department, made the presentation on the Resort Area
Strategic Action Plan.
Mr. Whitney stated he was giving an update on developing an Oceanfront Strategic Action Plan
which would build upon a great deal of work that's been done in the Resort Area previously and
would assist the community with a heavy involvement from the community in articulating a
graphic vision for the Oceanfront, explore a series of alternatives that would include addressing
issues such as land use urban design, infrastructure, transportation and yield a product in
amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, where appropriate, to help implement division and
provide a tool for planners, economic development and the community to see,feel, touch, market
and communicate with various interests in the Oceanfront.
Sasaski and Associates were obtained as consultants and have been working with Staff. Their
report should culminate in the Spring of 2009.
Mr. Whitney introduced Mark Duncan, Principal of Sasaski. He said one of the issues that had
been talked about was "connections" which is a big part of the Beach and Norfolk is emerging
as a community beginning to embrace Light Rail. Emerging properties also include the Dome
Site,former Norfolk Southern rail right-of-way, Birdneck, Laskin Gateway are all very important
connectors to the Beach.
Open space was discussed as well as the importance of open space with the primary driver being
"the Beach".
Place making was also discussed with the most important being the sense of arrival to the Beach,
which is being pursued. Again, Laskin Gateway, Dome Center and the Convention Center were
noted as being really important nucleus.
Mr. Duncan said there were three (3) broad concepts with the overlays to all the concepts being
around transportation, open space and redevelopment.
