PRESENTATION
UNIFORMITY OF TAXES
2:30 P.M.
ITEM # 43256
Philip Kellam, Commissioner of Revenue, advised the Commissioner's of cities of Hampton Roads, have
reached a quorum relative providing relief to owners of businesses in various localities throughout Virginia.
A uniformed meal tax has been proposed. This should be a great convenience to restaurant owners
throughout the area who will not have to deal with the different provincial regulations. This is a revenue
neutral proposal for the Virginia Beach City Council. Former Commissioner Robert Vaughan signed
acceptance of this proposal in December 1997. This is, in effect, a "rubber stamp" of what the City has
been doing for the last several years.
All of the meal taxes for the various localities are in the 4-1/2% to 5% range. Virginia Beach is at the lower
end of this spectrum at 4-1/2%. This meal tax is combined with the state sales tax in Virginia Beach. The
smaller business will not be inconvenienced by this tax. It will also remove a layer for the larger businesses.
Concerning the guidelines, Commissioner Kellam quoted lines 155 thru 159 of the proposed ordinance. "An
amount or percent whether designated as a gratuity, tip or service charge, that is added to the price of the
food and beverages by the seller, and required to be paid by the purchaser, is a part of the selling price of
the food and beverages and is subject to the tax imposed by this article." It is a bit legalistic but precise.
If the gratuity is at the pure discretion of the purchaser, it is not taxable; but, it it is a price set by the seller
or negotiated to a revised price that is fixed between the seller and the buyer than it is taxable.
The Virginia Beach Commissioner of the Revenue's office has had in place administrative guidelines that
are very similar to the provisions of the uniform ordinance. However, now all of those guidelines will be
established in the City Code. The major changes include new definitions, a comprehensive list of exemptions
and reworked penalty sections. Basically this would be codifying administrative procedure. The State Tax
Commissioner has issued an opinion that this is the way he wants his employees to handle the State Tax.
PRESENTATION
SCHOOLS HUMAN RESOURCE/PAYROLL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
2:48 P.M.
ITEM # 43257
Dr. Timothy Jenney, Superintendent of Schools, advised the Payroll Management System is a major issue
deriving from the 1994-95 deficit. Of the approximate 24 items identified by the Auditor, KPMG Peat
Marwick, all have been resolved with the exception of this payroll management item.
Vicky Lewis, Division Chief Financial Officer, advised while the FY 1994-95 budget deficit is now a painful
memory. This School System has taken many lessons to heart to ensure there is never a reoccurrence. One
powerful lesson was underscored by the Grand Jury Report on page 23 which states "An integrated position
control system linking budget, personnel and payroll should be purchased." With City Council's support,
the citizens can be assured that 86% of the Divisions's funds which are related to personnel costs are,
properly monitored and controlled. The Human Resources/Payroll System is a necessity for effective,
financial management. Human Resources utilizes a database, which is separate and distinct from the
database used in the processing of payroll, reflecting actual expenditures of the School Division. A match-up
is performed 3 times a year on the data in these separate databases - the 12 month employees are matched
in July, the 11-month employees are matched in August and the 10-month employees are matched in
September. Any change made to a 12-month employee after the July match-up is not verified during the 11-
month or 10-month match up. The 11 and 12 month employee match up consumes all employees in the
Human Resources and Payroll Departments for at least one day, and the 10-month employee match-up can
consume the entire staff in these departments for up to a week. A mid-year increase requires a second match
up and consumes more time from both of these departments. During the match-up periods, very little other
work can be performed within these departments. An integrated Human Resources/Payroll system will
eliminate the need to perform match-up since both the Human Resources and Payroll systems would be
working off the same data base. Any changes to the Human Resources database, which affects base salaries,
supplements or allowances, requires a piece of paper to be generated in Human Resources, transferred to
the Payroll Department and re-entered into the Payroll database. The school system maintains data on over
9,500 employees in 15 different systems within the Human Resources Department which tracks information
such as approved substitutes, licensure, staff development, blood-borne pathogens and other data which must
be tracked and monitored in order for the division to comply with State and Federal requirements. Many of
these systems are stand-alone and do not fully integrate with the database or are completely separate
databases which also must be maintained and and periodically matched to the master database. The School
system must track endorsements, certifications and exposure to blood-borne pathogens, licenses and other
requirements unique to education., Employee history cannot be maintained in the current software and,
therefore, is maintained on 3 x 5 color-coded index cards that must be manually maintained. The Human
Resource database can only maintain current information and the accuracy of the information in many cases
is entirely dependent on the system and sometimes the individual from whom the information is obtained.
These islands of information, and people-dependent, not process dependent, systems reduce the ability of
the Division to respond in a timely fashion to requests from employees, management and the Board. The
largest public employer in Hampton Roads should not depend on a manual process. While the Human
Resource system maintains information on 9,500 employees, each payroll run compensates up to 11,000
employees such as part-time clerical and substitutes who are not maintained in the Human Resource
database. The School Division and the City used a common Payroll system until 1989 when the City
developed their current system. The system replaced by the City in 1989 is still in use by the school system
today and is close to 20 years old. The school's payroll system does not maintain any employee history;
therefore, information neeeded for management decisons must be gathered from voluminous computer
printouts. Duplicate paper files must be maintained in Payroll and Human Resources on all transactions that
affect the compensation of employees. The lack of integration between these systems makes it possible for
an employee to be paid from the payroll system without proper authorization from the Human Resources
Department. In order to properly manage the School funds, a unified, comprehensive method of tracking full-
time and part-time employees, as well as substitutes, overtime and special duty supplements must exist. An
integrated system would allow the Division to institute automated controls, eliminate dependency on specific
individuals in positions and shifting reliance to processes, not people. An integrated system would have an
impact on every process currently performed in both Human Resources and Payroll and would enable the
Division to accommodate future growth without requiring significant increases in staff. Lack of integration
of the Human Resources and Payroll systems results in reports generated from each of these systems which
do not match and make management decisions cumbersome and difficult to make. Excessive manpower must
be utilized to extract relevant pieces of data from separate systems in order to provide adequate information
from which to make decisions.

SCHOOLS HUMAN RESOURCE/PAYROLL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
ITEM # 43257 (Continued
An integrated system will provide information such as historical overtime rates from which to build budgets.
It will ensure that all substitutes are matched to leave for employees and that all teaching positions are
properly matched with certifications and endorsements.
High-level process analysis has been performed by Deloitte and Touche, one of the leading consulting firms
in the country. The Division, with the assistance and guidance of Deloitte and Touche, has identified the
needs and major priorities for an integrated system. The majority of the hardware required for a new system
has already been purchased for the implementation of the City's new Financial Management System. Even
more fortuitious than all of these, is the fact that additional unanticipated funds in excess of $5.5-MILLION
are available to the School Division from additioanl Federal Impact Aid Funds, Department of Defense
funds and an unanticipated settlement from Trigon Blue Cross/Blue Shield. All of these funds are clearly
intended for the School Division and the allocation of these funds for the purchase and implementation of
an integrated system are appropriate for one-time expense. The School Division is requesting, due to this
unique set of circumstances and the clearly identified need, the City Council appropriate to the Division the
additional Federal Revenue as well as the unanticipated settlement funds from Trigon Blue Cross/Blue
Shield to the Administration, Attendance and Health Category, and approve a transfer from the
Instruction Category to the Administration, attendance and Health Category to fund the purchase and
implementation of an integrated system. An integrated system will increase the division's ability to monitor,
control and account for over 87% of its budget and maximize the use of the limited resources provided for
the education of the children of the taxpayers of Virginia Beach.

Mrs. Lewis advised discussions with consultants indicate school system payrolls are more complex
and their Human Resource needs are more restrictive than municipal requirements. In all liklihood,
anything that is able to handle a School Division HR/Payroll function will also be able to handle a
municipal HR/Payroll function. There are two individuals on the Committee for the RFP who are City
employees. The City currently has an integrated system that functions well. The City can hold off longer than
the School Division, as the Schools presently have a system that does not function.
The desire is to have the most critical functins come on line within a year with the balance later if resources
have to be reallocated. After speaking to Fairfax, the majority of their system will be on line within ten
months of commencement. Fairfax's RFP was utilized as a guide for Virginia Beach's School Division's
RFP. Fairfax has many people within their organization to dedicate to this process and have almost a $5-
MILLION budget for their implementation. There are a limited number of vendors who can respond to this
request. All of the desk top units required have been acquired. The School Division is aware they need to go
client-server and have an oracle data base as this is in existence in the City's financial system.
The City Manager and staff are suggesting the system acquisition be delayed until the year 2000 and that
it be a joint City/School project. The City's Payroll System could be modified for $75,000 to accommodate
the Schools. However, this does not include modification of the Human Resources System which is more
complex.

PRESENTATION
SCHOOLS HUMAN RESOURCE/PAYROLL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
ITEM # 43257 (Continued)
Mrs. Lewis advised an RFP could be issued in approximately 4 weeks. A rough draft of this RFP has been
distributed to City Council.
Neil L. Rose, School Board Member, advised as an Attorney, he has compiled RFP'a. If the RFP is
distributed with authorization from the City Council for the funding, five or six vendors will respond. Mr.
Rose's concern is if the authorization for the funding is not provided in advance, one or two vendors will be
lost, as they will not enter a bid as they are not sure authorization from the City Council would be received.
The pool of vendors has shrunk. The vendors would not feel it wise to expend $50,000 to $100,000 to bid.
The cost estimate sheet displayed a range of $3.5 to $6-MILLION. Mr. Rose's theory is the more bidders
the more likely the cost will be in the lower $3.5-MILLION range.
Mrs. Lewis advised the City was involved with the Human Resource and Payroll analysis conducted by
Deloitte & Touche in July. Analysis of the processes was accomplished first through the consolidation and
second through the Deloitte & Touche study. Before the finalization of the RFP, a meeting was conducted
with James Spore, Patricia Phillips, Fagan Stackhouse and the similar School department staff to be
assured this RFP addressed whatever needs the City departments believed necessary. Therefore, the desire
all along has been to purchase a system that will function for both entities. Whether the City and School
choose to go on the system at the same time is irrelevant to the fct that a system that both organizations
could utilize is desired. The City probably will be examining a new HR Payroll system within the next few
years anyway. The School Division, however, is 8 years behind the curve of the City. The savings will come
in moving from a non-integrated system that allows the school system personnel to be more efficient and
effective in their daily task.
The City Manager advised one of the options would be for the City to be a proposer on this system
development whenever the RFP is forwarded. It has been expressed to him several times that whatever
system purchased should meet the City's needs as well as the School's needs.
Mrs. Lewis advised the idea discussed was to have the Human Resources side completely integrated first and
then bring payroll in second. Payroll is going to have to do two interfaces: one with the existing financial
management system; and, the second with the new financial management. Mrs. Lewis's staff consists of 4
Budget Personnel, 4 Accounting Personnel, and 8 Payroll Personnel. There are 28 staff members in the
Human Resources Department. These manage 9500 full time employees and 2-to 3,000 part-time
employees, substitutes and other miscellaneous payments through payroll.
City Council expresved concern relative a decision made now might be ahead of time and would have a
serious or negative impact on the School's budget. It appears to be more appropriate to deal with this in the
normal budget and CIP process. Securing, the best RFP was also a concern if the funds were allocated
prior to the RFP process.
The Revolutions adopted by the School Board on February 17, 1998, and on January 6, 1998, seemed to
coordinate the purchase to consolidating the City's and Schools' payrolls.
A Resolution supporting consolidation of accounts payable and
payroll of the School Division and the City and Directing the
Superintendent to consult with the City Manager and determine
the willingness of the City to join in this effort.
A request to the Virginia Beach City Council to appropriate
certain funds.
Said resolutions are hereby made a part at the record.
City Council requested an analysis be provided relative consolidation of the City and schools' payroll.
Mr. Rose advised if City Council approves the HR system, they are not approving consolidation. However,
the point of the Resolution was the Schools cannot move forward on consolidation until an HR system is
available.

ITEM # 43257 (Continued)
BY CONSENSUS, this issue shall be examined within the School Budget and Capital Improvement Program
process. This would be considered as one of those items eligible for surplus funds.
Mr. Rose advised the Superintendent submitted the FY 1998-1999 Budget Proposal, comprising $432-
MILLION, which did not include this Human Resource/Payroll Management System item. The Capital
Improvement Budget has been forwarded to the City and if this was thought to be a capital item, the CIP
would have to be modified.
Patricia Phillips, Director of Finance, clarified it was her understanding the direction of City Council is that
during the budget process, funds will be appropriated for the system at whatever level is ultimately
determined. The Budget would be adopted on May 12, 1998. The source of the CIP project would be year
end funds; therefore, not impacting the current year revenue for 1999. The ordinance could be phrased
indicating the appropriation is available right away and not wait until the August close-out.
The City Manager advised the list for utilization of these surplus funds should be examined. There are
approximately 4 or 5 weeks, to develop the RFP with thirty days for response and 2 weeks for evaluation.
This would be May 15, 1998. By that time, priorities will have been determined and this would not be
delayed.
Mayor Oberndorf expressed appreciation to Dr. Jenney, Mrs. Lewis and Mr. Rose for their presentation and
responses to Council's concerns.

ITEM # 43258
Jerald Banagan, Real Estate Assessor, advised all major categories of the City's real estate is stable.
Appreciation is fairly modest. The growth is at a level near to last year. The projected total assessment is
$19,751,515,000 which represents a 4.0% increase over the current assessment. Each penny of tax rate
relates to $1,898,000 in revenue for a total of $240,968,000 at the current rate of $1.22. Appreciation on
average was 2.7%, which is slightly less than last year of 3.11%. Commercial properties, on average, were
approximately 2.6%, with residential properties an average of 3%. There was a negative on the average for
apartments. New construction for the past 12 months amounted to $285,000,000, which is a decrease of
4.5% from the previous year. Residential new construction was down by 1.2% and commercial/industrial
new construction was down by 12.8%. Residential new construction amounted to 75% of the total yearly
construction, while commercial/industrial represented 25%. Growth in land, due to rezonings and
subdivision, amounted to approximately $38,030,000. Total growth in land and buildings amounts to
approximately 1.6% of the tax base. Residential, apartment and agriculture properties comprise 81.8%
of the tax base with commercial and industrial properties constituting 18.2% of the tax base. The
percentage is unchanged from the current year. Mean assessments on single family homes is $135,400,
which has increased 4% for $5,000.

The townhouses and condominiums actually lost value in the 1992 to 1995 years. However, in general the
properties are now fairly stable.
22% of the housing stock is assessed at less than $75,000. The major category is $75,000 to $150, 000. which
comprises 58% of the housing stock. 20% of the housing stock is over $150.000.

The industrial assessments are displaying a negative, however this does not indicate a decline in value. The
staff, due to automation, has reclassified some industrial properties primarily around the Euclid area which
although zoned industrial, are primary commercial (car dealerships, repair shops, etc).A negative has also
been depicted in the category of apartment as there are a number qf apartment complexes built in the late
60's and early 70's. Although relatively healthy, with 95% occupation, over the past two years the older
apartment properties are not selling for as much as the assessment. Therefore, an adjustment has been made
in the older category. Mr. Banagan displayed a graph depicting annual new construction and displaying
1997 as slightly off from last year; however, last year was the best year in approximately 5 years.

PRESENTATION
1998/1999 REAL ESTATE ASSESSMENTS
ITEM # 43258 (Continued)
The land use taxation for farmland is fairly stable. Each year acreage is lost in this program which is being
rolled back for development. There is a rather large increase in agricultural values with a decrease in
forestry values. These are based primarily on stumpage figures. Mr. Banagan advised the State makes a
model farm for the City and this is based upon what percentage of the acreage is in soybeans, corn, etc. and
then prices the expenses and revenues generated on a typical acre and determine these values. A five year
rolling average is utilized, with one year dropped off and the newest year added. It was Mr. Banagan's
understanding, a very good crop year was added and an extremely bad crop year was dropped. Thus, the
swing in the values. The State is investigating going to a 7-year average where the high and low is
automatically dropped. Thus, this will be more stable. The State Department of Taxation will be studying
this in the next year.
Relative the Real Estate Tax Exemptions/Deferral/Freeze for senior citizens and disabled persons, there
was a total of 1,865 program recipients with a total exemption of $1,546,036. The limits of this program
were changed in Fiscal Year 1994, with $22,000 on income threshold and $70,000 in net worth. The State
limits are much higher with $150,000 in net worth and $40,000 on income.
Figures shall be provided relative apartments categorized by borough, in a similar manner as the
condominiums and residences.

As noted on the summary table, minority construction awards remained consistent in 1996-97 at 0.29% and
increased to 12.39% for goods and services. This is a marked increase from 1994-95 when minority awards
for goods and services amounted to 1.6% of total awards. However, the year to date this year, has generated
increased Minority Business concern, due to the decline in total dollar awards to minoriiy vendors. At this
time, variation could be due to contract expiration dates or seasonal variation.

Dear Mr. Duva:
I, along with the City of Virginia Beach, express our appreciation to you for your support in working with the Duva
Foundation to secure a contribution of $10,000 for use by the Seatick Community Recreation Center, and $1,500 for
the Police Athletic League (PAL) for youth memberships at the Seatack Community Recreation Center. Recently when
you were at the Human Riggts Commission Forum, you expressed an interest to assist the youth in the City of Virginia
Beach through educational endeavors such as computer training, leadership and responsibility through athletic programs,
and generally an overall focus on challenging us as community leaders and business people to do the same.
We are especiallyv proud of their donation to the Citv of Virginia Beach. Understandably, leaders from within our
community have the responsibility and obligation to give back and support their own local youth and the various programs,
but for someone who is not a local community member to support us in this way, is commendable. We ask for your

90 development shall conform to the provisions of this
91 ordinance in each respect that the existing use conforms,
92 and in any instance where the existing use does not

CITY COUNCIL CONCERNS
ITEM # 43292
Councilman Jones referenced calls from residents of the Chick's Beach area concerning replacement of
sand.
The City Manager referenced a memorandum on the status of the Declaration of Local Emergency.
Essentially, it has not been determined at the federal level what they will do with the Emergency
Declaration, which is a statewide declaration. The state has indicated the $2.1-MILLION worth of
documented damage submitted for the public infrastructure may qualify for reimbursement. The
individual loses to residences were narrowly confined to a few small areas. It is doubtful there will be any
emergency assistance for those individuals. However, this will be determined within the next few days.
Regarding the Declaration of Local Emergency ADOPTED by City Council on February 10, 1998, this
allows the residents of Chick's Beach to begin the process of repairs and accelerates all of the "red tape"
necessary on the permitting process. This does not indicate sand will be provided to those individuals. Ways
are being investigated to attempt to provide assistance. Much of the sand has returned and the beach, in
many locations, is in rather good shape.
