HOMELESS INTERVENTION GRANT
11:02 A.M.
ITEM # 31667
Maryann Ustick, Director, Housing and Neighborhood Preservation, advised that
the Homeless Intervention Grant is only one of many efforts to solve the
problem of Homelessness in Virginia Beach.
Many families who experience temporary financial crises due to loss of
employment, medical emergencies or other personal crises, could probably be
maintained in their homes if the funds were available to enable them to get
back to their feet. Last year, Maryann Ustick testified before the Virginia
Housing Study Commission and requested the General Assembly consider the
possibility of recommending a homeless prevention program in addition to
shelter programs, which had been funded by the State for approximately two
years. This testimony focused on the premise that this expenditure for
prevention tends to be far more cost effective in the long run than continuing
to fund the expansion of shelter beds and the support services which accompany
these shelter facilities. Providing funds and support services to keep families
in their housing would most certainly reduce the number of shelter beds
requested not only in Virginia Beach, but throughout the State. So, based on
the recommendation of the Virginia Housing Study Commission, the General
Assembly recently approved a $1.026-MILLION demonstration program entitled the
Homeless Intervention Program to be implemented at eight (8) demonstration
sites throughout the Commonwealth.
On July 10, 1989, City Council APPROVED an Ordinance authorizing the City
Manager to apply for these funds. The Department of Housing and Neighborhood
Preservation submitted an application on July Twenty-first.
Applications were ranked according to the following criteria:
Administrative capacity
Program Design
Linkages and leveraging
On August Eleventh, the City was awarded a Housing Intervention Program Grant
in the amount of $112,500 to implement a demonstration program. The City's
application was ranked No. I in the State and one of eight Demonstration Sites
in the program. The State Department of Housing will evaluate the City's
program to determine its cost effectiveness in preventing homelessness and
providing permanent housing, as well as providing long term self-sufficiency.
Maryann Ustick cited the key elements of the program:
Creation of the Homeless Intervention Network
Provide no-interest loans which can be deferred for back
mortgage payments and also partial mortgage payments for up
to a three month period until a household can recover from
its crises.
Provide no-interest loans which can be deferred for security
and utility deposits to assist individuals in shelters to
obtain permanent housing.
Provide grants for back rent up to six (6) months and total
or partial rent payments up to three (3) months. Rent
payments can also be provided to homeless persons to enable
them to obtain and also to maintain permanent housing.

HOMELESS INTERVENTION GRANT
11:00 A.M.
ITEM # 31667 (Continued)
A temporary staff person must be hired to provide case
managernent counseling, referral and follow up to assist
clients achieving the goals of the self-sufficiency plan.
Family services and, in particular, their consumer credit
counseling unit, will provide the initial screening for this
program. The Case Manager will be advised on financial needs
and provide budget counseling for a period up to three
years, if required. (Family Services are donating these
counseling services at no cost to the client and no cost to
the City.)
The Homeless Intervention Program will last approximately nine (9) months from
October until June and hopefully the General Assembly will re-fund the program.
Maryann Ustick introduced Andrew M. Friedman, Development Administrator -
Housing and Neighborhood Preservation. Andrew M. Friedman among his other job
responsibilities, is also the City's Homeless Coordinator.
Maryann Ustick advised the Members of the Network:
Housing and Neighborhood Preservation
Virginia Ecumenical Housing
St. Columbo Ecumenical Ministries
Virginia Beach Christian Outreach Group
Comprehensive Mental Health and
Substance Abuse Services
Department of Social Services
Mother's, Tncorporated
Family Services
Virginia Beach Community
Development Corporation
Department of Agricultural Extension
Services
YWCA
Stop Organization
*While the Southeastern Job Training Administration is not technically a Member
of the Network, they still have committed critical resources and services to
this program.

REGIONAL JAIL FACILITY
11:20 A.M.
ITEM # 31668
Arthur Collins, Executive Director, Southeastern Virginia Planning District
Conunission, reviewed the status of the Regional Jail Program. The Regional
Jail Facility is designed to accommodate the overflow in local jails. It is
designed for the type of prisoner currently in the local facilities.
The Phase T study will encompass program planning, site analysis including
environmental considerations, schematic facility design and cost estimates for
facility construction and operation based on the recommended correctional
programs and design.
Some of the discretion should be removed from the Department of Corrections in
terms of the type of prisoner they can leave in a regional facility. The Code
should reflect improper inmates cannot be placed or kept in the regional
facility. The current legislation provides for "up to 50%" reimbursement. It
would be more appropriate for the legislation to denote "less than" or "will be
50%".
PRORATED COST FOR PHASE I DESIGN SERVICES
Locality Population of Total Cost
Chesapeake 141,500 11 $ 66,625
Franklin 7,800 1 3,673
Norfolk 280,800 22 132,214
Portsmouth 110,100 9 51,840
Suffolk 52,200 4 24,578
Virginia Beach 350,000 27 164,796
Hampton 128,000 10 60,268
Newport News 162,800 13 76,654
York 41,100 3 19,352
TOTAL 1,274,300 @oo $600,000
Obviously, if the number of participating localities changes, the cost to each
of the remaining localities will change, accordingly. Any local funding for
Phase I will be repaid to the communities from the proceeds of the bond issue
when Phase II (construction) is authorized. The Regional Agency would be
responsible for transporting the inmates back and forth.
Suffolk, Isle of Wight and Franklin are proceeding with their own program.
The Mayors and Managers group will bring back to the City Council a concurrent
resolution identifying the site and consideration with the Host Community
before funds are expended.
Mayor Oberndorf hoped the SVPDC would be able to reason with those responsible
members of the General Assembly to sponsor at least 50% of the Regional Jail.

ITEM # 31669
The City Manager referenced the Ordlnance to TRANSFER $25,000 from Project 3-
975 Joint Vehicle Maintenance Facility to Project 3-990 Cape Henry Lighthouse

Issuance of School Bonds of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginla, in the
maximum amount of $68,378,000 subject to the approval of the qualified voters.
(See Itern IV-F.6 RESOLUTION/ORDINANCE.)
Acting City Attorney Kevin Cosgrove distributed copies of three alternatives of
proposed wording to appear on the Ballot. Alternate A is the question as
currently appears on the Court Order in the Agenda, The School Board Bond
Referendum Steering Committee met on Wednesday, August 16, 1989, and suggested
minor alterations to the question (Alternate B and C). The schools have been
Identified in the beginning of the question rather than the end. Minor syntax
changes have also been made. The only difference between Alternate B and C is
the phrase "among other projects". This phrase has been deleted from Alternate
C.
The Acting City Attorney advised if funds rernained after the cornpletion of the
projects mentioned on the ballot and there was a desire to utilize these
rernalning funds on other projects, the funds would have to be revalidated by
the Court. As Alternate B Included the phrase "among other projectstf, these
rernaining funds would not have to be revalidated, but an appropriation would be
necessary for a specific project. Councilman Heischober advised the unused
funds could also be returned via a tax reduction.
C,ouncilwoman McClanan inquired whether more definitive Information had been
received relative the Kellam/Bayside renovations as the information forwarded
was not specific. The City Manager advised a representative will be in
attendance during the Formal Session to respond to City Council concerns.
ITEM # 31671

Council the latest definition of "excellence In education" which the "TURN OF

the General Assembly. The Governor is following that concept with the impetus
for the regional jail and has a few more projects the State is desirous to be
funded by the localities.
Councilman MDss expressed concern relative regional funding. Councilman Moss
sensed a different jurisdiction and discretionary authority than anticipated.
Councilwoman McClanan advised she distributed the newsletter to Members of City
Council.
ITEM # 31673

RESOLUTION
wHERFAS the Commonwealth Transportation Board has in
place, a three year old program that allows limited trimming of
trees in front of billboards on certain highways; and
wHEREAS the board is now considering whether to make
the policy permanent; and
the trimming of trees on public right-of-way in
order to benefit private industry constitutes an unwarranted act
by the Commonwealth Transportation Board.
NOW, THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF VIRGINIA BF-ACH that the Commonwealth Transportation Board
and the Virginia Department of Transportation are requested to
end the policy that allows the trimming of trees on public right-
of-way in front of billboards; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Council of the City of
Virginia Beach request this policy be ended because public
property is held as a trust by the Commonwealth and should be
preserved to the extent possible for all the residents of our
Commonwealth, and the trimming of trees along public right-of-way
on highways so as to make billboards more visible is a dangerous
precedent for the Commonwealth to continue; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the Clerk of the Council of the
City of Virginia Beach is directed to disseminate this resolution
to the Governor, the Conunonwealth Transportation Board, and our
General Assembly Delegation.
Adopted by the Council of the City of Virginia Beach on

10 as follows:
11 ARTICLE III. EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL AND TREE PROTECTION
12 DIVISION 1. GENERALLY
13 Section 30-56. Findings of council.
14 The city council has determined that the trees and the lands
15 and waters comprising the watersheds of the city are great natural
16 resources; that as a result of erosion of lands by both winds and
17 water and sediment deposition in waters within the watersheds of
18 the city, such waters are being polluted and despoiled to such a
19 degree that fish, aquatic life, recreation and other uses of lands
20 and waters are being adversely affected; that the rapid shift in
21 land use from agricultural to nonagricultural uses has accelerated
22 the processes of soil erosion and sedimentation and tree removal;
23 and that it is necessary to establish and implement, through the
24 division of engineering-F of the department of public works, a
25 city-wide coordinated erosion and sediment control program to
26 conserve and to protect the land, water, air, trees and other
27 natural resources of the city.

RESOLUTION/ORDINANCES ITEM # 31686
Acting City Attorney Kevin Cosgrove distributed Alternate A-1 and C-1 wording
for the November 1989 ballot question recommended by Bond Counsel. These
alternatives replace previous ones distributed to Members of City Council in
the Informal Session which were not acceptable to Bond Counsel.
Dr. Fred G. Benham, Assistant Superintendent of Schools for Financial Services,
advised Councilwoman Henley there are a number of items which must be
addressed at Bayside and Kellam. The floors at Bayside need a toping applied
which will be more expensive than the restoration of the floors at Kellam
which are in better shape. The lockers at Bayside must be replaced but not at
Kellam. These are examples of the differences. The two buildings will be
reinstated to their condition approximately twenty-five years ago and
modernized to some extent.
Gregory Stillman, Member of the Virginia Beach School Board and Bond Counsel.
Mr. Stillman advised either alternate would be acceptable to the Bond
Counsel.
Councilman Moss again requested, in the absence of major recreational
facilities in the Aragona portion of the City, this particular gymnasium in the
School for the Gifted and Talented could be investigated as a recreational
useage for that neighborhood.
Councilwoman McClanan advised providing an educational environment is more than
floors, walls and windows.
Upon motion by Councilman Moss, seconded by Councilman Heischober, City Council
ADOPTED, upon SECOND READING, with Alternate C-1 wording for the November 1989
ballot question:
Ordinance authorizing Tssuance of School Bonds of
the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, in the
maximum amount of $68,375,000 subject to the
approval of the qualified voters.
SCHOOL
Shall the City of Virginia Beach finance new public
school construction and furnishings and renovation of
existing school buildings, including modernization of
Bayside and Kellam High Schools, elementary gymnasium
additions, Farmers' Market/Green Run area Elementary
and Middle Schools, and West Kempsville High School
and London Bridge Road Elementary School and site
acquisition for new schools, by contracting debt and
issuing the City's general obligation bonds in the
maximum amount of $68,375,000 pursuant to the City

Mayor Oberndorf provided an update on the Labor Day weekend. Mayor Oberndorf
extended a sincere greeting of welcome to all visitors with the firm
understanding the City intends to maintain a safe and enjoyable environment.
Under normal circumstances, large conventions are not usually booked on a major
visitor weekend as Innkeepers are utilizing those rooms for family vacations
that are planned year 'round.
Mayor Oberndorf wished to remind the City Council and the citizens, the
Pavilion is not a sports arena or an entertainment Colosseum. It is not built
to house huge numbers of people with numbers of entrances and exists which can
easily be maintained in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of all
the citizens attending the entertainment. The Pavilion is a medium-sized
convention and exhibit center, built to accommodate comfortably about 5,000
individuals. The City does have a liability to provide a safe access to all
guests who are utilizing the City's public facilities.
On April 13, 1989, Mayor Oberndorf forwarded a letter to all Members of City
Council addressing issues associated with the beachfront area especially during
the Holiday and Special Event Weekends. Mayor Oberndorf requested the City
Manager appoint a Special Task Force. The task of the Committee would be to
improve communications between the Community and the growing number of large
groups visiting Virginia Beach to enjoy the hospitality.

E. T. Buchanan

Robert E. Fentress

Virginia Beach must continue its status as a "friendly" City and maintain its
reputation as a quality family resort.
Out of a commitment to youth and the numerous accidents, the "open container"
Ordinance was ADOPTED. Immediately abutting the 40 blocks of the resort area is
a full-time year 'round residential community. In being assured the City is
safe for guests, Virginia Beach is also responsible for protecting the healthy
environment of the City's residents.
Mayor Oberndorf has joined with the City of Norfolk in attempting to recruit
the eight Presidents from the Black colleges and universities to bring the CIAA
Trounament back to Norfolk and Virginia Beach in the years 1991, 1992 and 1993.
Mayor Oberndorf expressed appreciation to the Virginia Beach Chamber of
Commerce and the Neptune Festival to oversee festivities in the years to come
This responsibility will offer an exciting opportunity for the Chamber and the
Mayor looks forward to their proposals.
