REAL ESTATE PROPERTY TAX ISSUES
Mdny localities throughout the Commonwedlth hdve experienced
double digit increases in their property tax assessments over the
past several years. Although, Virginid Bedch, in partiCUldr, dnd
Hampton Roads, in general, have had increases averaging 5%, many
Northern Virginia localities have had extremely high increases which
have created adverse reactions by the tax paying public. The General
Assembly in its 1989 Session, established a special study committee
to examine localities' dependence on real estate taxes and how relief
might be given on what so(ne view as an inappropriate burden. The
study cornmittee has held a number of public hearings across the
Commonwealth and has mentioned severdl alternatives in providing
relief. These include a simple change in the Code which would allow
a business and commercial property be taxed at a different rate than
residential property up to changes that would require an amendment to
the Constitution of Virginid. Any of these changes would have the
net effect of reducing property tax revenue available to localities.
In Virginia Beach, dS iS the case in Hdmpton Roads, the
property tax is relied on by the localities to supply the pred(xninant
shdre of revenue dvailable for generdl goverrynent operations.
Virginia Beach has had to increase its tax rate considerably in the
last several years but most of the increase was done with the
approval of the voters in referenda. This incredse is necessary to
provide the infrastructure and other services to a rapidly growing
population so that the quality of life in Virginia Beach can remain
high. The real estate tax is the most important tax scurce for all
Virginia localities including Virginia Beach.
Finally, Virginia Beach like most localities in the
Commonwealth provides tdx relief to elderly and disdbled persons
meeting certain income limits. These tax relief efforts are becoming
increasingly costly but nevertheless approved by Council because of
the obvious need of these certain individuals for such tax relief.
RECOMENDATIONS
The General Assembly is requested to retain the localities'
ability to use the real estate tax or any other tax. Localities dre
increasingly being required to provide services, heretofore, paid for
with federal or state funds, and at the save time, the cost of
government in general is increasing. For example, Virginia Beach's
tax rate and assessment increasing have increased the average tax
bill by 50% in the last several years to meet the needs of our
citizens. Further, the Gerieral Assembly is encouraged to allow
localities greater flexibility in raising revenues by providing other
methods of taxation that are equitable and less regressive.
FUNDING OF EDUCATION
The Constitution of Virginia states "The General Assembly
shall provide for a system of free public elementary and secondary
schools for all children of school age throughout the Commorrwealth
and shall seek to ensure that an educational program of high quality
is established and continually maintained." To meet this
requirement, the Legislature has established the Standards of Quality
which mandates the existence of educational programs throughout the
state. Because the General Assembly is responsible for providing a
system of free public education, it should also support financially
those aspects of the educational program which it mandates by law.
These mandates should be funded on the basis of realistic average
costs and the Stdte should bear a fair share of the cost. It is the
responsibility of the stdte to fund on a Stdtewide basis the BdSiC
Education Program of a student in the Commonwealth. This should
include the cost of capitdl facilities. Increasingly, the costs of
providing CIdSsrooms and other structures for the educational process
are becoining a very severe burden on local goverrvnents. The state
does not participate at all in the funding of capital cost for
education nor does it include those costs in the formula for
estimating standdrd of quality participation by the Commonwealth.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The General Assembly should raise the per capita pupil
allocation for 1990/91 to that amount recomwnded by the State Board
of Education which reflects the actual cost of the Standards of
Quality. This funding should not be at the expense of other aid to
localities. It should also prohibit the enactment of any mandates
requiring funding by the State Board of Education until the General
Assembly also funds those mandates. Finally, the General Assembly
should fully fund all newly mandated programs. It should, also
prohibit the enactment of any mandates requiring funding by the State
Board of Education until the General Assembly funds those mandates.
TRANSPORTATION FUNDING
This item will be completed based on Council's direction after
reviewing the transportation financing strategies developed by the
Planning District Commission.
REGIONAL/LOCAL JAILS
The city is appreciative of the legislation passed in the 1989
General Assembly Session that increased the state reimbursement for
local jail construction to 50% with a maximum of 1.2 Million Dollars.
This legislation also allowed regional facilities to receive up to
50% funding from the Commonwealth for capital construction. Many
larger localities such as Virginia Beach are planning to build large
additions to their local jails. Many of these local facilities will
be as large as some of the regional jails envisioned. However, a
local jail can only receive a maximum of 1.2 Million Dollars in
reimbursement from the Commonwealth, whereas, regional facilities can
receive up to 50% reimbursement.
The city is also investigating with other localities in the
region the feasibility of building a large regional jail. This jail
would house as many as 1,500 prisoners and would meet the localities'
needs through the year 2005. However, the legislation allowing for
50% reimbursement states up to 50% rather than designating the
Commonwealth will participate for 50% of the cost of the regional
jail construction.
RECOMMENDATIONS
We recommend that the 50% reiinbursement for local jails with a
cap of 1.2 Million Dollars be modified to allow a 50% reimbursement
without a cap for any facility housing more than 150 prisoners. This
would also include additions that would house more than 150
prisoners.
It is also recommended that the legislation allowing up to 50%
reimbursement for regional jails be amended so there will be a
guarantee of 50% reimbursement. On very large projects there should
be incr@tal financing by the Commonwealth so as to reduce the
locality's need to incur carrying costs while awaiting reimbursement.
INDIGENT HEALTH CARE
The problems of providing health care to indigent Virginid
Beach residents continues to grow at dn aldrming rate. Many of these
probleMS dre shared with other Virginia communities while others have
unique aspects. A major shared concern is with Medicaid and
state/local hospitalization. Although these programs are relatively
equitably distributed throughout the state and cover a variety of
medical care needs, they cover only a small percentage of those
needing care who cannot afford it according to state eligibility
standdrds. Virginia Beach is a prime example. Of the 40,000 persons
below the poverty level in the city, only 6,000, or less than one out
of six, is entitled to Medicaid. Because state/lOCdl hospitalization
does not provide access to private physician care, and only this care
is avail-hle in Virginia Beach, most of the 34,000 not covered by
He.@icaid receive nuthing but einergency care dt 1OCdl hospitals and
tertiary Cdre at Norfolk General Hospital.
For low income residents the Stdte provides certdin
categorical medical services through health departments: prenatdl,
family planning, well baby care and immunization. Because no new
positions and minimdl additional findncidl SUpport has been provided
to the Health Department since 1975 (during which time the city's
population hdS increased by 260,000), the number of citizens seeking
the above services but unable to receive thefn continues to grow.
Virginia Beach reinains the least funded health district in the Stdte.
Some 250 low income pregnant women received no prendtdl Cdre In 1989
because clinics have been at capacity and those needing care
continues to grow. Yet, the state continues to fund low income care
in Virginid Beach dt half the rate (per person) such care is provided
to the remainder of the state.
The comprehensive outpatient and inpatient medical care for
low income persons -- which is a state responsibility by statute--
has been carried out via medical education funds. These have been
provided to the Medical College of Virginia and to the University of
Virginia Medical School. A token amount of approximately seven
percent of the total medical education funds has been given to the
14edical College of Hampton Roads. Because the area hospitals using
these funds for patient care are not in Virginia Beach (and thus do
not take the city's patients), even such limited funds offer no
solution for low income residents seeking care. Such residents must
travel to the Medical College of Virginia for basic medical care.
In the area of low income obstetrical care the city maintains
a contract for delivery and reldted care with local obstetricians.
The acceptance of this state responsibility by the city credtes an
increasing hardship on its residents as costs continue to rise for
this service.
RECOWENDATIONS
This iS d complex and growing problem which the General
Assembly can begin to effectively deal with by:
1. Requiring an equitable and adequate distribution of Health
Department funds so that each Virginia resident requiring
mandated Health Department services will have an equal
opportunity to receive them statewide. Both poverty
population and total population must be considered in accord
with the program requiring funds.
2. Develop a regional grant program to provide for low income
medical care. A regional program in Hampton Roads could
address both medical care needs of low Income persons and
uncompensated care expenses of area hospitals.

FUNDDIG FOR THE @ITY SERVICE BOARD PROGRAMS
The General Assembly during the last biennium, at the request
of advocacy organizations and municipal governments, funded a major
mental health initiative based on a six year plan developed by the
Virginia Department of Mental Health - Mental Retardation Substance
Abuse Services. This plan resulted in "the first wave" effort that
provided funding for Virginia Beach in access of over Three Million
Dollars for the biennium. This allowed the Virginia Beach Community
Services Board to significantly expand its service capacity and to
increase the opportunities for collaborations with other community
services programs. Although this is an important first step, persons
with mental disabilities require a continuing combination of physical
and personal resources. Such needs which continue to grow as the
population of our city expands presents great challenges to the city
and the Community Services Board.
RE ATIONS
The General Assembly is requested to fund a "second wave" of
funding for Community Services Boards throughout the Comonwealth.
This funding would build on the floor established during the "first
wave" funding of the current biennium and would provide a quantum
increase in services to the mentally disabled. The need to continue
the momentum of mental disability funding is evident because of the
long standing practice of the Commonwealth to under-fund these
progr- and it is important to keep the current momentum building so
that these progr-- and persons are not forced to recede into the
shadows.
FUNDING FOR THE VIRGINIA MARINE SCIENCE MUSEUM
Since its opening in June 1986, the Virginia Marine Science
Museum along Owls Creek has become Virginia's most highly attended
museum. The museum's unique combination of interactive science
exhibits, living habitats, and aquariums attracted 360,000 visitors
in its first full year of operation and the facility welcomed its
1,000,000 visitor in April 1989. The museum's visitation has been
meeting early planning projects and all indications point to
continued strong attendance. However, with the facilities popularity
has come increased demands on both the staff and the facilities which
can no longer be met by the present institution. A master plan for
the museum has recently been completed which envisions the following
improvements over an area of approximately 30 acres.
A 20,000 square foot building focusing on an estuarine marsh
environment.
Salt Marsh preserve with a series of passive interpretive
trails.
A 25,000 square foot building to include a 100 seat
restaurant, classroom space, a changing exhibits gallery, and
a marine mammal demonstration area.
A 30,000 square foot building with a major ocean science
exhibits and aquarium.
The cost of these improvements is estimated at approximately
$26,000,000.
The museum has become a major tourist destination for persons
coming to Virginia and its growth in the future will continue to help
Virginia's tourism industry remain vibrant.
REC ATIONS
The Commonwealth should appropriate $3,000,000 for planning
and engineering for the expansion of the Marine Science Musetm.
Local and other sources would be responsible for the additional
funding needed for construction and completion of the addition.
PENDLEMN CHILD SERVICE C@
FUNDING FOR TION
The Pendleton Child Service Center provides children five to
twelve years old with treatment to alleviate behavioral and learning
problems. The Pendleton Center accepts children with behavioral
problems such as aggression, defiance, inadequate self-control,
dishonesty, and social isolation and admits them on an outclient or
residential basis. Pendleton's staff applies psychological
diagnostic procedures to children, and trains parents and teachers to
use intervention methods to prevent or reduce the necessity of
contact with other human service organizations. The staff is
involved in conununity training activities for parenting skills,
teacher training, and social skills training for classroom children.
Created as a preventive service through the joint efforts of
the human services departments of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and
the Cities of Chesapeake and Virginia Beach, Pendleton has maintained
a 70 to 75 percent success rate during its 14 years of operation. It
has repeatedly been cited by state licensure teams for the
effectiveness of its treatment design. Indeed, one reviewer noted,
"This is the best program of all those I review. It has a complete
continuum of care, with all components in place and highly
developed." This year, another commented, "The only criticism I
would have is that it is the best kept secret. It should be
replicated."
The Cities of Chesapeake and Virginia Beach in an effort to
provide an improved Pendleton Child Service Center are relocating the
project from its current location on Camp Pendleton to an area that
would better serve the needs of the two cities.
RECOMNENDATIONS
The Commonwealth is requested to participate in a 50%
reimbursement for the relocation of the Pendleton Child Service
Center. As a certified group home the Pendleton Child Service Center
is eligible for this funding. The new Service Center will include
13,000 square feet and be adjacent to Kempsville District Park on
Centerville Turnpike, close to the population centers of Virginia
Beach and Chesapeake. Total estimated cost is approximately 1.1
Nillion Dollars. The Commonwealth is requested to participate in
half of that or $550,000. The project is expected to be completed by
April 1991.
PURCRASE OF LAND
FOR A FOUR YEAR STATE SUPPORTED UNIVERSITY
IN VIRGINIA BEACH
Virginia Beach is one of the, if not the only, major city in
AmeriCd with a population of more than 200,000 to not have a four
Yedr state supported University within its borders. Although,
Virginia Beach is served by the state supported Old Dominion
University and Norfolk State University, both of these facilities are
1OCdted as much as 35 miles away from some of our citizens. Also,
the increased problems with our trdnsportdtion network make not only
the distance a problem for those wishing to commute to a four year
state supported University but the time involved is often much out of
proportion to the distdnce one must travel.
Further, the population of the city is expected to exceed
500,000 people shortly after the turn of the century. Much of this
population growth will occur in the Southern portion of the city
which is the greatest distance from Old Dominion and Norfolk State
Universities.
The city's need for a four yedr Stdte supported university are
therefore obvious, however, the construction of such a facility will
take Mdny years dnd MUch pldnning. The Stdte should take a proactive
stance in the near term, however, by purchasing land for a future
campus for a four year university in the city. This property would
be preferably located in the central portion of the city adjacent to
major highways such as the proposed Southeastern Expressway. This
would serve not only as an area where the region's current
Universities could expand their presence in the city such as the
gradUdte center currently located in leased space in the Northern
portion of the city but could start a master plan process for a four
yedr Stdte supported University to be constructed Idter this century.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Gerieral Assembly is requested to identify an appropriate
site for the location of a state supported fotir yedr University in
the central portion of the City. This study should be followed up
with the purchase of the land necessary to acc ate dny placement
of such University and any possible expansion through the yedr 2050.
Area's served by good road networks such as ddjacent to the
Southeastern Expressway should be looked at with special interest.
STATE AID TO LIBRARIES
The General Assembly in its 1989 Session adopted HJR NO. 441
requesting the State Library Board study local minimum expenditure
requirements for eligibility to receive State Library Aid. The Board
has recommended that the local eligibility requirements be changed to
require the present minimum of $2.00 per capita local expenditure
requirement be changed to an dmount equal to a percentage of the
state median per capital expenditure and that state aid be increased
fOr every local dolldr from 35 cents to 40 cents dnd that the Cdp on
state grants be increased from $150,000 to $350,000.
The revision to the State Aid to Libraries formula would
result in Virginia Beach receiving $200,000 per year in more State
Aid to Public Libraries.
RECOM14ENDATIONS
The City recomends that the General Assembly adopt the
findings of the State Librdry Board Study requested by HJR No. 441.
STATE REIMBURSEMENT FOR KARINE PATROL ACTIVITIES
Section 28.1-464 of the Code provides for the establishment of
a Marine Patrol Fund from which qualified localities may be
reimbursed a portion of costs incurred from Marine Patrol activities.
Virginia Beach has an active marine patrol function and is qualified
for reimbursement since the program was started in 1979. For the
past five fiscal years, the level of reimbursement was intended to be
75% of the total eligible cost or $20 for each boat registered within
the locality whichever was less, however, during the same period of
level of funding appropriated by the state for the Marine Pdtrol Fund
has been insufficient to meet all the qualifying requests for
reimbursements. In Virginia Beach for instance, the shortfall in
funding has cost Virginia Beach approximately $270,000 over the ldst
five years.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recamnded that the General Assembly appropriate
sufficient funds to the Karine Patrol fund so that all localities can
receive their full reimbursement to which they are statutorily
intended.

GROWTH MANAGEMENT
City Council has been increasingly concerned over the
degradation of the environment in th. city, particularly around the
Back Bay and North Landing watersheds. As part of their concern and
in an effort to control growth, they downzoned over 2,000 acres of
land, located south of the green line, to agricultural zoning in
1986. However, even with the downzoning to agricultural
classifications, much of the land can be developed under the AG-2
zoning categories to densities as high as one unit per acre.
Further, Council is concerned over the effect that development of
one-acre lot subdivisions would have on the viability of farming
within the city. In order to consider these threats to the
environment, farming, and the city's ability to provide
infrastructure, two consulting firms were contracted to examine the
feasibility of transferable development rights. The Virginia Beach
Growth Management Study produced by these consultants has recommended
that the Citv seek authority from the General Assembly to have the
ability to transfer development rights from one property to another
and to be able to purchase development rights. Basically, this would
mean that a sending zone would be designated within the city and a
receiving zone would also be designated within the city. The rights
to develop property in the sending zone would be severed from the
property and transferred to the receiving area in an open market
sale/purchase transaction. Therefore, property owners in the
southern portion of the city would have the opportunity to sell in an
open market their development rights to persons interested in
developing a receiving area to be designated by City Council. We
strongly believe that if the TDR concept is pursued, the city will be
able to manage the infrastructure needs for a considerable portion of
the city, protect the environment in the Back Bay and North Landing
watersheds more comprehensively, and also give farming an opportunity
to thrive without the conflicts caused by encroaching development of
an unpredictable and piecemeal nature. Further through a PDR/TDR
program the city could buy the development rights and hold on to them
or resell them as appropriate.
REC ATIONS:
The General Assembly is requested to adopt enabling legislation to
allow: (1) the transfer of development rights from one parcel of
land to another; (2) restricting or prohibiting further development
of the parcel from which such rights are transferred; and (3)
increasing the density or intensity of development on the parcel to
which such rights are transferred. This should further provide for
the method of transfer of such rights and provide for the granting of
easements and reasonable regulations to effect and control such
transfers and assure compliance with the provisions of such
ordinance.
INCREASE IN COURT FEES
Cities have been historically required to provide at their own
expense court facilities. These are responsibilities mandated by the
Coninonwealth, but the Comwnwealth does not allow any funding
mechanism to be initiated to pay for these very expensive
infrastructure improvements. Virginia Beach, for instance, is now
faced with the construction of an over $30 Million court facility
that would move all the court functions to one site and provide a
physical joining with the jail for secure movement of prisoners. The
design of this facility has been reached after much discussion with
the judges and other individuals involved with the courts, and is
also geared toward the growth the City should encounter within the
next ten years. It is inappropriate, however, for the citizens to be
required to pay for this facility when it should more rightfully be
funded by the users of the courts.
RECOMMENBATIONS
The General Assembly should adopt legislation allowing
localities to allow court cost, etc. to be increased by $6.00 per
item as was recmwnded by the substitute Hexise Bill No. 245
submitted during the 1989 Session. The proceeds of these fees will
be used for capital cost for court house detention homes and jail
construction, renovation, maintenance. and to pay the staffing cost
of personnel involved with those facilities.
TAX EXE14PTION FOR WATER WORKS EQIJIPMENT
Currently, the Code of Virginia allows exemptions from
sales tax for various equipment including pollution control equipment
and facilities. The extension of this exemption to water works
facilities would lower the costs Of Wdter projects for
municipalities.
RECOMMENIIATIONS
The General Assembly should amend the Code of Virginia to
exempt certified water works equipment and facilities from retail
sales and use tax. Certified water works equipment and facilities
shall mean any real or personal property, equipment, facilities or
devices used primarily for the production and distribution of water
for human conslaption.
A G R I C U L T U R A L I S S U E S
AGRICULTURAL ISSUES
The Council of the City of Virginia Beach presents these
issues of local and state interest as adopted by the Virginia Beach
Far,m Bureau.
LOCAL
We support techniques (such as Transfer of Development Rights,
Purchase of Development Rights, or any other means) of preserving the
industry of agriculture and the fair market values of rural lands.
We oppose the inclusion of any lands in Virginia Beach as part
of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act that do not drain into the
Chesapeake Bay.
STATE
We support techniques (such as Transfer of Development Rights,
Purchase of Development Rights, or any other means) of preserving the
industry of agriculture and the fair market values of rural lands.
Landowners need the freedom to convert their land to other
uses. If a governmental agency wishes to severely restrict farmland
use for whatever reason i.e., non-tidal wetlands preservation, buffer
strips, endangered species, wildlife conservation, etc., the
landowner should be justly compensated at the fair market value at
the time of taking.

Item IV-G.I.b
RESOLUTIONS ITEM # 32185
Upon motion by Councilwoman lienley seconded by Councilman Baum, City Council
ADOPTED:
Resolution requesting the General Assembly to adopt
enabling legislation to allow Virginia Beach and
other localities to use Transfer/Purchase of
Development Rights as a Growth Management
Technique.
Councilwoman Henley referenced the very important link with good growth
management and economic development. The Resolution does include Purchase of
Development Rights. Enabling legislation would not be required for just
Purchase of Development Rights. This can be accomplished without additional
authority. There are issues which must be addressed and fine tuned. Differences
of opinion are arising primarily from lack of information and misunderstanding.
This instrument of planning was first recommended by the Virginia Beach
Tomorrow proposal issued in 1976 and has since been mentioned in inany planing
documents including the Back Bay Management Plan, recommended by the Chesapeake
Back Bay 20/20 Panel as well as many state wide and local proposals. Education
and commitment are important components.
Councilwoman Parker advised of her items of concern: (1) Requirement of
perpetuity (2) Assurance of standards of quality for upgrading of tax base (3)
Formula should involve more than just transfer of residential for residential.
Formula should involve transferring into industrial to increase the tax base
(4) Care in selecting receiving areas. Many individuals are under the false
impression extra density will be allowed in areas already impacted.
Councilman Moss stressed the Transfer of Development Rights Ordinance should
contain the requirement of perpetuity, not for just twenty-five years.
Perpetuity would have to be a fundamental inclusion for its implementation in
Virginia Beach.
Councilman Baum advised perpetuity does not mean forever. The property owner
at the end of twenty-five years does not gain any right back not chosen to be
given back by the local government. Misconceptions by the news media have
arisen that individuals would be able to sell the development rights twice.
Localities are reluctant to give any rights back, if they have paid for them
once.
Councilman Balko advised Transfer of Development Rights were available in
Maryland, 14ew Jersey, Florida and California, and inquired if these were DILLON
rule states. Robert Scott advised California and @laryland were not, but could
not respond specifically to the others.

RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
TO ADOPT ENABLING LEGISLATION TO ALLOW
VIRGINIA BEACH AND OTHER LOCALITIES
TO USE TRANSFER/PURCHASE OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS AS
A GROWTH MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUE.
Whereas Virginia Beach has experienced explosive growth
over the last ten years, and
Whereas this growth has increased the population of the
City by more than 100,000 persons, and
Whereas this growth has created extreme pressures on
the City's ability to provide infrastructure, and
Whereas this growth has also created great demands on
the environment of the City, and
Whereas much of this growth is predicted to continue
especially in the southern part of the City where there now exist
conflicts between an agricultural economy and the pressures of
growth, and
Whereas the Council of the City of Virginia Beach has
funded a two year study into the use of Transfer of Development
Rights/Purchase of Development Rights as a way of managing the
growth of the City, protecting the enviror2nent, and preserving
agriculture.
Now therefore be it resolved by the Council oF- the City
of Virginia Beach that the General Assembly of Virginia is
requested to, in its 1990 Session, adopt enabling legislation
that would allow localities by ordinance to adopt a Transfer of
Development Rights/Purchase of Development Rights program, and
Whereas this enabling legislation would allow the
Transfer of Development Rights for one parcel of land to anot.her
restrict or prohibit further development of the parcel from which
such rights are developed and increase the density or intensity
of development on a parcel to which such rights are transferred,
and
Be it further resolved that the City should provide f@or
the method of such transfer of such rights and for the gran,tlng
of easements and reasonable regulations to affect and control
such transfers and to ensure compliance with the provisions of
such ordinance, and
Be it further resolved that the Clerk of the Council of
the City of Virginia Beach is directed to forward this resolution
to the members of the General Assembly for Virginia Beach.
Adopted by the Council of the City of Virginia Beach on

transportation funding needs in Hampton Roads and
to request the Congressional Delegation from the
Commonwealth to a-gressively pursue the re-
enactment and authorization of the Surface
Transportation Act.
This Resolution was requested to be AMENDED to include the verbiage that
methods be developed to fund those needs caused by shortfall from both state

This item was MOVED DOWN and voted upon, after revision, following the PLANNING
AGENDA and prior to the CONSENT AGENDA.
RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE 1990 G ASSEMLY
TO ESTABLISH A STUDY COMISSION To NE
TRANSPORTATION FUNDING NEEDS IN N ROADS AND
TO REQUEST THE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION FROM THE COMMO TH
TO AGGRESSIVELY PURSUE THE RE-ENACTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION OF THE
SURFACE TRANSPORTATION ACT.
Whereas the provision of a sound transportation network
is vital to the economic well-being of all the localities in
Hampton Roads; and
Whereas this means the movement of not only people, but
goods and services so that commerce can flourish; and
Whereas there are many identified problems in the
transportation network of Hampton Roads that when measured either
subjectively or objectively put the area at a disadvantage in the
realm of economic development and tourism; and
Whereas even with anticipated improvements to the
transportation networks such as Interstate 664, there continues
to be unfunded needs of more than $150,000,ooo per year; and
Whereas the Southeastern Planning District Commission
working in cooperation with the Peninsula Planning District
Commission have identified a strategy for a transportation
financing; and
Whereas many of the strategies suggested in the
Planning District Commission's plan are fundamental departures In
the policies of the Commonwealth; and
Whereas the Federal Surface Transportation Act is due
to expire in 1991 and if not reauthorized will end Federal
funding for Interstate, urban, and primary roads.
Now therefore be it resolved by the col,.ncil of the City
of Virginia Beach that the General Assembli, of Virginia is
requested to authorize and fund a study of tlne transportation
needs, and develop methods to fund those needs only if the state
and federal government refuse to carry cl,,it their moral and legal
responsibilities to provide transportation syste,ms fundilng; and
Be it further resolved that this st-udy resolut.ion be
funded by the Commonwealth as a mini Coramission on Transpoi:tation
in the 21st Century with representation from state, anti local
elected officials, appointed officials, local business groiips,
citizens and the Virginia Department of Transportation; and-
whereas, this body should provide recommendations to the 1991
Session of the General Assembly; and
Be it further resolved that this study commission
should, as part of its work, also include in its consideration
what level of service the citizens can expect from increased
expenditures on transportation projects, how transportation
decisions will be tied to land-use, how increased financing of
transportation projects will affect the economic viability of the
City including the tax burden of its citizens, and
Be it further resolved that the study should include
limitations to any financing authority or agency suggested to be
created so as to not allow the authority or agency any taxing
authority or any authority to carry out projects other than
surface transporation related, and that revenue raised within the
City of Virginia Beach should be used directly for the benefit of
the City of Virginia Beach; and that the report of the study
commission should be disse-iinated to local governments for review
and comment before it is transmitted to the General Assemblm of
Virginia; and
Be it further resolved by the Council of Virginia Beach
that the Congressional Delegation from Virginia is 17equested to
aggressively pursue the re-authorizaticn of the Surface
Transportation Act and that this pursuit include the examination
of the possibility of tolling the existing interstate highways
where it is appropriate; and
Be it further resolved that the balance in the Federal
Highway Trust Fund be drawn down and used for- the purposes for
which it was originally intended.

RESOLUTIONS ITEM # 32187

deny the School Board budget, and I intend to carry out said
duties as fairly and faithfully as I can; and

taking any action on the School Board budget, I am disclosing
that my wife is a teacher in the Virginia Beach school system;

group along with several hundred other teachers, could possibly
be affected by City Council's vote on the School Board budget;
and
4. I am able to review, make recommendations and approve or
deny a budget regarding the School Board fairly, objectively and
in the public interest even though my wife; is one of many
teachers within the school system.
Accordingly, I respectfully request that you record this
declaration in the official records of the City Council. Thank
you for your assistance and cooperation in this matter.
