Recommendations on premium adjustments as well as plan design changes are made by the Benefits Executive Committee (BEC) comprised of staff members from both City and Schools. Recommended health insurance premiums, as well as plan offerings for both city and school employees, should remain in unison, to the greatest extent possible, with School health premiums not being below the recommended premiums of the City. • 7.2: Should the School Board, desire to establish employee premiums below the City employee premiums, the School Board will notify City Council by resolution of the desired change. The resolution will provide the following: 1) the desire to decrease premiums; 2) the reason as to why the lower rates are being requested; 3) the requested premium rates and effective date; 4) the recommended employer contribution change and revenue sources supporting changes; and 5) a projection of the health fund balance demonstrating future sustainability. Guidance and Direction As Proposed : Proposed Budget, if adopted, would formally extends formula until June 30, 2027 Proposed budget includes updated verbiage for City Council's and Virginia Beach School Board's consideration (slide 5). Direction for City Manager to work toward incorporating language for FY 2027- 28 Proceed with this plan as proposed or alternative direction? 6 Questions & Discussion 10 CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION/INITIATIVES/COMMENTS ITEM#782 72 4:57 P.M. Mayor Dyer commended the City's Public Safety personnel for their professionalism over the past couple of weeks including the historically challenging week 17 and the recent mass shootings at the Oceanfront with fourteen (14)people injured. Mayor Dyer emphasized these issues are not unique to the City and explained the decision to implement the curfew was made reluctantly but out of necessity to protectpeople's lives. Mayor Dyer advised while the court ruled that there was not an imminent threat, he believes there was a high probability and referenced the Hurricane Sandy evacuation as an example when leadership must err on the side of caution. Mayor Dyer advised he stands by the decision to implement the curfew as prudent and preventative. Mayor Dyer advised the City remains ranked as the#10 safest city in the country but cautioned that inaction may lead to a negative trend and explained while there is no immediate solution, coordination with state and federal partners will be included in the long-term strategy to address staffing shortages within the Police Department, recruitment challenges and limitations on enforcement tools. Mayor Dyer expressed that early intervention is needed to address youth behavioral issues, and addressing violence overall, will require a change in attitude towards accountability and respect for others. Council Member Cummings advised on Friday evening he attended the Police Department's briefing concerning the traffic diversion plan and then went on a ride-along with one of the Police Officers. Council Member Cummings advised while the plan was well thought out, it created major issues for patrons and stakeholders who were unable to access some Oceanfront businesses due to blocked streets and confusion about how traffic was being re-routed. Council Member Cummings recommended in the future, it would be helpful to establish a hotline for the public to call, as well as having QR codes posted on barricades, to inform people of clear routing information. Council Member Remick advised that he and Vice Mayor Wilson met with stakeholders this morning to discuss the impacts at the Oceanfront over the weekend and received a lot of feedback and concerns regarding the accessibility issues that Council Member Cummings mentioned. Council Member Remick emphasized the need for better collaboration and communication not only with businesses and residents in the Oceanfront Area, but City-wide. Council Member Remick advised that stakeholders shared their primary concern to enforce the law regarding smoking cannabis in public. City Manager Duhaney advised the Traffic Diversion Plan was a pilot plan that was tested during week 17 based on its use in other cities such as Panama City, Miami Beach, and Myrtle Beach. City Manager Duhaney explained that thepilot was briefed in advance to thepublic during a ResortAdvisory Commission (RAC) Meeting and acknowledged the communication could have been better. City Manager Duhaney further advised, even after making adjustments to the plan, it was not effective and is not intended to be used during the upcoming summer season, which was also articulated to the stakeholders today. Vice Mayor Wilson expressed her appreciation for the stakeholder meeting today and commended City Manager Duhaney and Deputy City Manager Jarratt for listening to the stakeholders valid concerns and addressing them in a collaborative effort. Vice Mayor Wilson believes everyone left the meeting with a shared desire for a safe family-friendly City and commitment to work together towards that goal. April28, 2026 11 CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION/INITL4TIVES/COMMENTS ITEM#782 72 (Continued City Manager Duhaney addressed the concern for enforcing public use of cannabis and advised it is not a criminal offense and is a civil offense with a$25.00 fine. City Manager Duhaney advised Police leadership is encouraging officers to issue citations but explained the challenges when Police respond to a citizen complaint and the restaurants and hotels intervene to prevent enforcement, and emphasized the importance of stakeholder support. Council Member Cummings advised that a second offense requires the violator to sign up for a program and third offense is a misdemeanor and believes that if citations continue to be issued, the progressively stricter consequences may help deter behavior over time and reiterated the importance of coordination with state partners to strengthen enforcement tools. Council Member Berlucchi expressed his support and agreement with the public demand to have more proactive and assertive policing but cautioned that such actions often escalate to use-of-force situations that can create a negative and controversial perspective. Council Member Berlucchi emphasized that the hospitality industry and broader community must publicly support law enforcement efforts, particularly when officers are placed in challenging situations. Council Member Berlucchi advised that without a publicly broadcasted message of support, he is uncomfortable asking Police to put themselves in situations that may cause more harm to peace and safety. City Manager Duhaney advised that the Police Department is currently understaffed by approximately 86- 88 officers and faces retention challenges due to demanding schedules that require overtime and the restriction from taking time off during the peak season. City Manager Duhaney expressed concern that these conditions may cause Officers to work in other cities with fewer constraints and emphasized the need to provide as much balance as possible. Mayor Dyer advised that the shoulder season is going away with increasing year-round activity at the Oceanfront and while there are economic benefits, it increases ongoing Public Safety demands nearly year round. Mayor Dyer reiterated that addressing these challenges will require long-term planning. April28, 2026 12 CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSIONIINITWIVES/COMMENTS ITEM#782 73 (Continued) Council Member Ross-Hammond advised that the Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) will hold a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the new Virginia Beach Wave trolleys on May 7`" at 10:00 A.M. at the Virginia Aquarium.
