Sessoms, Jr. Council Members Absent: None - 2 - LABOR DAY COMMISSION REPORT REVIEW CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP 11:00 A.M. ITEM # 32346 Mayor Oberndorf requested City Council express their concerns relative the LABOR DAY COMMISSION REPORT and to provide policy direction to the City Manager and his staff. Council Members expressed concerns relative: City's liability in relation to the proposed courses of action Litigations resulting from Labor Day 1989. Appropriate Black Leadership, Recognition of the Resort area as a residential area. The need to combine the independent groups.

The City Attorney is to prepare responses to City Council's concerns relative the City's liability for health, safety and welfare. - 3 - C 0 N C E R N S 0 F T H E M A Y 0 R ITEM # 32347 The City Manager di stributed an upda ted Iist!ng of the status of the, Vi rg in la Beach 1990 LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE. ITEM # 32348 Nbyor Obernd or f d i str ibuted a copy of correspond ence to Sen a tor Andre ws and his response of January 29, 1990. Senator Andrews was the only member of the General Assanbly who has responded to the City Council's concerns relative the, funding for the indigent care. Senator Andrews advised the State cannot al low relief for agencies that overspend their budgets, as this would undermine those un its that do I ive wi th i n the i r budget. In these t imes of ser ious f i scal constraints all m ust be es pec i a I I y a ware of f und i ng I im i tations. Senator And rews believed the expansion of aid to localities must occur through additional funding for thE, al location formula and wil I assist in whatever way possible. Said letters are hereby made a part of the record. ITEM # 32349 Mayor Oberndorf distributed copies of her letter to Chairman James N. Fl etch(,,r, Virginia Beach School Board , suggesting the opportunity for an enhanced dialogue between the School Board and the City Council is mutual I y desirable, just as improved communication in such areas as site selection has paid dividends in the past. The state and local budget picture is not positive. These trends are causing the City Council signif icant concern in looking to the FY 1990-91 Budget process. Mayor Oberndorf requested the School Board invite Mr. E. Dean Block, the Assistant City Manager for Analysis and Eval uation, to provide the Board the same briefing on the long-term trends and forecasts as recently provided to City Council . %yor Oberndorf suggested consideration of the establ ishment of a Financial Liaison C<:>mmittee consisting of two members of the School Board and two members of the City Council to work together and share information relat,,-d the financial situation. ITEM # 32350 Mayor Oberndorf also referenced Petitions frc>m the Kingston Elementary PTA in OPPOSITION to the fire station at Brill Field - 4 - C I T Y C 0 U N C I L C 0 N C E R N S ITEM # 32351 Councilman Sessoms referenced Indigent Health Care. Public and Private partnerhips could be of major assistance to the City. Virginia Beach General Hospital has agreed to donate $40,000 to the City for the use of prenatal care. Mayor Oberndorf disclosed she was a Member of the Board of Tidewater Health Care which oversees Virginia Beach General and Portsmouth General and was most proud of this decision. ITEM # 32352 Councilman Baum referenced the STATUS OF VIRGINIA BEACH 1990 LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE. Under OTHER ISSUES, the Bill relative Septic Tanks was not reflected. Councilman Baum requested Robert Matthias advise City Council relative the BILL which apparently gives the Health Department authority in rural areas. Councilman Baum wished to know the effect of same on the rural areas. ITEM # 32353 Councilman Baum referenced the Resolution approving the Planning Commission's recommendations re The Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act and directing the Commission to continue with its work. (See Item V-G.3 under the CONSENT AGENDA). Councilman Baum advised should Members of City Council wish to SCHEDULE same for PUBLIC HEARING, this would be agreeable, but requested the vote not be continually DEFERRED. Only those areas that drain into the Chesapeake Bay should be subject to The Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act. Councilwoman Parker advised of concerns relative the need for Envirorimental protection of Back Bay. Councilwoman McClanan advised the PLANNING COMMISSION did not have a PLIBLIC HF,ARING relative The Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act. The Planning Commission only sent their recommendation. Councilman Baum advised of his increasing alarm relative individuals concern about the environment on other people's property. ITEM # 32354 Councilwojuan Henley referenced the Memorandum from Thomas M. Martinsen, Jr., Deputy City Manager, relative the Southeastern Public Service Authority Curbside Recylcing Program, which is a substantial increase to the member cities. The cost of the SPSA proposed recycling program would increase member cities' tipping fees significantly as it is implemented in a three phase process. The initial year's impact would be $2.25 per ton, rising to $3.78 per ton the second year, and finally $5.68 per ton the third year. Councilwoman Henley would be most interested in receiving a BRIEFING on this proposal. Councilwoman Henley further referenced a proposal she had suggested approximately two years ago to make more convenient the opportunity for individuals to drop off their recyclables in locations around the City on a regular basis, such as available for newspapers. However, there is a problem with newspapers due to the availability of a market. Councilwoman McClanan advised the Clean Community Commission had a proposal for a recycling center but were told to hold same in abeyance. Mayor Oberndorf advised the program being proposed is not mandatory. Councilwoman Parker advised the Clean Community Commission needs to be encouraged to bring their report forward. Councilman Baum advised composting, a rural idea, might be practical for homeowners. Councilman Moss hoped less costly alternatives would be examined. February 5, 1990 - 5 - C IT Y C 0 UN C I L C ON C E R N S ITEM # 32354 (Continued) The City Manager advised a BRIEFING will be SCliEDULED on February 20, 1990, by the SOUTHEASTERN PUBLIC SERVICE AUTHORITY. There will be subsequent BRIEFINGS on the other issues with particular emphasis on the Clean Commiinity proposal. ITEM # 32355 Councilwoman Henley requested the FIVE-YEAR FINANCIAL FORECAST be presented to the PLANNING COMMISSION by E. Dean Block, Assistant City Manager for Analysis and Evaluation. ITEM # 32356 Councilwoman Henley requested an Informal Meeting with the City's Delegation in the General Assembly. BY CONSENSUS, Mayor Oberndorf will correspond with the City's Delegation in the General Assembly requesting a Meeting on Saturday, February 17, 1990, at 8:30 A.M. at one of the library location's meeting rooms for discussion relative the status of various Biils. ITEM # 32357 In response to Councilman Balko's inquiry, Councilman Baum again referenced the Land Use Taxation Program. The land use values are determined by the State Land Evaluation Advisory Council. A major error has been made. Jerald Banagan, Real Estate Assessor, stated upon receipt of the response to Councilman Baum by the State, he will advise Council Members. ITEM # 32358 Councilman Moss referenced the FY 1990-1991 OPERATING BUDGET and the communication of City Council's fiscal guidance. The fiscal issues might be equal to the Labor Day issues in terms of long range impact. Both are tied to one another. The process should not evolve through default. The stability and direction of the financial budget can directly impact the City's ability to attract new businesses. ITEM # 32359 As TRANSFER OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS appear to be delayed another year, Councilman Moss requested the City move forward with the COMPREHENSIVE PLAN and SCHEDULE a WORKSHOP for February or early March. ITEM # 32360 Councilman Moss requested a representative delineate the locations of the specific concerns communicated by the Environmental Protection Agency and the new Time Schedule relative the SOUTHEASTERN EXPRESSWAY. - 6 - C IT Y C 0 UN C I L C ON C E R N S ITEM # 32361 Vice Mayor Fentress distributed copies of the "OFFICIAL HANDBOOK for AUTHORITIES, BOARDS, COMISSIONS, COMMTTEES". This Handbook provides members a statement of policy with guidelines which govern the role, operation and responsibilities of the City Council's appointive agencies. TTEM # 32362 Vice Mayor Fentress will be bringing forth, on a future City Council Agenda an Ordinance authorizing bicycles the utilization of City sidewalks for leisure bicycle riding. The City will probably never have sufficient bikepaths. ITEM # 32363 Vice Mayor Fentress has requested for a future Agenda the amendment of an Ordinance involving non-conforming signs where the faces are changed. There are too many "loopholes" contained in the current ordinance. ITEM # 32364 Councilwoman Parker referenced the possibility of attaching a rider to BILL NO. 304 regarding imposing impact fees for road improvements, Adding Chapter 11 of Title 15.1 an article numbered 8.2 consisting of sections numbered 15.1-498.11 through 15.1-498.20. The Senate APPROVED same 29-9. Councilwoman Parker requested the possibility of attaching a rider to AMEND this Bill.

Henley Municipal Center Virginia Beach, Virginia 23456 Re: Request for Conflict of Interest Act Advisory Opinion Dear Mrs. Henley: I am writing in response to your request for an opinion as to whether you may vote on resolutions and/or ordinances pertaining to the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act. Summary Conclusion: From my review of the Conf lict of Interest Act and the information provided by you as referenced below, I am of the opinion that you have a personal interest in the transactions of the Virginia Beach City Council concerning the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act as a result of your ownership of land which is located in the area to be impacted by the provisions of the Act. However, as a member of a group of persons affected by the transaction( s), you may participate in the consideration of matters before the Virginia Beach City Council, including any and all ordinances and resolutions pertaining to the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act which do not solely impact your property or financial interests, upon disclosure of your interest pursuant to Virginia Code § 2.1-639.14(G). Such disclosure should include a declaration that you are able to participate in the transaction fairly, obj ecti vely , and in the public interest. A proposed disclosure letter which complies with § 2.1-639.14(G) is enclosed for your convenience. I base the aforesaid conclusions on the following facts and discussions. Councilwoman Barbara Henley -2- February 5, 1990 Re: Request for Conflict of Interest Act Advisory Opinion Facts Presented: Your request for an advisory opinion is generated by a resolution concerning the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act which is currently scheduled on the agenda for February 5, 1990. You have advised me that your area of concern with reference to this matter is related to your ownership of certain property. This property is potentially subject to regulation under § 10.1-2109 of the Code of Virginia which requires counties, cities, and towns in Tidewater Virginia to designate Chesapeake Bay Preservation areas by September 20, 1990. Your property is also potentially subject to the terms of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act Final Regulations, pursuant to which localities in Virginia have until September 20, 1990 to establish the location of resource protection areas and resource management areas as required by those regulations. Issue: Are you precluded from participating in the consideration of the above-referenced resolution and/or the other agenda items which pertain to the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act and/or regulations enacted pursuant thereto because you own property which may potentially be impacted by the Act and/or its regulations. Conclusions: A. B. D. I. Applicable Definitions: City Council is a governmental agency, as that phrase is defined in § 2.1-639.2 of the Virginia Code. You are an officer of Virginia Beach City Council within the meaning of § 2.1-639.2. C. "Personal interest" is defined in § 2.1-639.2 as being a personal and financial benefit or liability which accrues to an officer, employee, or to an immediate family member. The interest exists by reason of one of five categories specified therein, one of which is the ownership of real property in excess of $10,000.00. A personal interest in a transaction" means a personal interest, as defined above, in any matter considered by an officer's agency. It is further defined in § 2.1- 639.2 as existing "when an officer... has a personal interest in property or a business...and such property, business...(i) is the subject of the transaction or (ii) may realize a reasonably foreseeable direct or indirect Councilwoman Barbara Henley -3- February 5, 1990 Re: Request for Conflict of Interest Act Advisory Opinion benefit or detriment as the considering the transaction." result of the agency II. Application of Definitions: A. Personal interest in a transaction test. In the facts you present, you have a "personal interest" in property based upon your ownership of real property exceeding $10,000.00 in value; ownership of real property in excess of $10,000.00 in value being one of five categories which give rise to a personal interest. Because you own real property which is the subject of a transaction which may "realize a reasonably foreseeable direct or indirect benefit or detriment as a result of the agency considering the transaction," it is my opinion that you have a "personal interest in the transaction" within the meaning of the Conflict of Interest Act. Section 2.1-639.11 sets forth the procedure an officer or employee must follow if that officer or employee has an interest in a transaction. It provides that an officer shall disqualify himself if a transaction has application solely to property or business in which he has a personal interest. Alternatively, if the transaction affects either a group of which the officers is a member, or the general public, the officer may participate if he complies with certain statutory disclosure requirements. Because the deliberations of the Virginia Beach City Council do not solely apply to your real property, you are not required to disqualify yourself pursuant to § 2.1-639.11(A)1. You may, therefore, participate in the deliberations of the Virginia Beach Ci ty Council because you are a member of a group which will be affected by the deliberations of the Commission. III. Disclosure Requirements of § 2.1-639.14(G): Based on the fact that you are a member of a group which is affected by the transaction, you may participate in any deliberations regarding this matter, so long as you disclose your personal interest. Enclosed, please find a written declaration form, which complies with the requirements of § 2.1-639.14(G). It is my suggestion that if you decide to "disclose and participate," you should do so utilizing the written declaration, attaching a copy of this opinion to the disclosure form. Alternatively, should you be concerned that your ownership of real property may create some appearance of impropriety to those who do not understanding the Conflict of Interest Act, you may Councilwoman Barbara Henley -4- February 5, 1990 Re: Request for Conflict of Interest Act Advisory Opinion abstain from voting and disclose your interest. Either option may diffuse any perception problems that may arise. * * * * * As a final note to any Conflict of Interest opinion, § 2.1- 639.18(c) provides that a written opinion of the City Attorney made after a full disclosure of the facts, is advisory and admissible as evidence that the local officer did not knowingly violate the Act, while a favorable opinion of the Commonwealth's Attorney as the enforcing officer of the COIA, provides immunity from any alleged violation. If you choose to seek an opinion of the Commonwealth's Attorney, I will be pleased to assist you in that regard.
