E. Oberndorf called to order the FY 1992-1993 OPERATING BUDGET WORKSHOP SESSION of the VIRGINIA BEACH CITY COUNCIL in the Council Chamber, City Hall Building, on April 7, 1992, at 10:00 A.M. Council Members Present: John A. Baum, Robert W. Clyburn, Vice Mayor Robert E. Fentress, Harold Heischober, Paul J. Lanteigne, Reba S. McClanan, Mayor Meyera E. Oberndorf and Nancy K.

Sessoms, Jr. ENTERED: 10:12 A.M. - 2 - C IT Y C 0 UN C I L W OR K S HOP FY 1992-1993 OPERATING BUDGET ITEM # 35474 Mayor Oberndorf recognized the following Members of the Virginia Beach City School Board in attendance: Samuel W. Meekins - Chairman Cynthia M. Davenport Gerald G. Gibbs Robert W. Hall Dr. M. Boyd Jones - Vice Chairman Edward G. Kreyling, Jr. Martin J. Mulderrig, Jr. E. Dean Block, Assistant City Manager for Economic Management, advised the City Staff is in the process of preparing a department-by-department summary of additions, reductions or changes in service levels as proposed in the FY 1992-1993 OPERATING BUDGET. Concerning the $22,000 reduction in the City Council Budget, there have been reductions in the Professional Development Account and Travel aspects, as well as in some of the smaller accounts concerning acquisition of gifts to dignitaries. A detailed list of those reductions will be provided . Information concerning the reduction in Contractual Services from $50,125 to $23,275 will also be provided. Concerning the Executive Department, the City Manager's office and the Public Information Office havebeen restructured. The additional $20,000 reflected in Other Charges in the City Manager's office concerns funds specifically for Total Quality Management Training. The position in Intergoverrunental Relations has been changed to Assistant to the City Manager to enable access to this individual for a variety of tasks. Reductions in the Office of Public Information, will have an effect on the ability of the Department to prepare Annual Reports, News Releases, Public Service Announcements and various brochures of interest to the public. Thus, there will be a substantial reduction (approximately 50%). Pamela Lingle, Director of Public Information, advised brochures referenced in the Budget are the Easy Access Guide, the City Council Brochure, Citizens Newsletter and the BEAM. The office hours will be reduced: from 8:00 A.M. - 6:00 P.M. to 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Information will be provided concerning expenditures of legally required print advertisements vs advertisements that are not legally required. Concerning the Law Department, the City Attorney advised their budget is down approximately $94,768.00 with the same level of services being retained. Two positions in the office have been consolidated. Mr. Lilley advised approximately $15,000 for the use of outside services has been budgeted, which he hopes not to expend. The City Attorney advised Bill Macali will become a full time Water Resource Attorney as of July First and an active participant in the process of water resources. Expenses and activities relative Lake Gaston are noted in the weekly litigation letter to City Council. The City Real Estate Assessor, Jerald Banagan, is operating at the same level of services with one less Assessor and the Finance Department, Robert Hays - Acting Director, is operating with three (3) less personnel. The Assessor's Office continues to experience considerable data management backlogs which have not been addressed due to limited staff and a constant workload. The City Assessor is working to develop a microcomputer-based system to lessen data input time associated with mainframe applications. The City Staff will advise the City Council concerning the City Departments which are limiting their hours of operation to the public. The phones in the Real Estate Assessor's office are only answered from 1:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M. with a recorded message in the morning advising of this situation. - 3 - C IT Y C 0 UN C I L W OR K S HOP FY 1992-1993 OPERATING BUDGET ITEM # 35474 (Continued) Mr. Banagan advised there is a staffing problem which accounts for the inability of the general public to reach the office of the City Assessor. (The phones were basically answered all day long for mortgage bankers seeking information.) The phones were answered all day immediately following the mailing of assessments. Approximately 130,000 properties are entered into the computer. The clerical staff has not been expanded in over ten years. There are presently three (3) temporary personnel performing backlogs of data entry. In approximately 1 year and a half the remainder of the properties should be entered into the computer. An analysis concerning funding provided by the State and City for Constitutional Officers shall also be furnished to City Council. A report concerning the City Manager's evaluation of a computer system which could be accessed by outside individuals, paying for this convenience on a subscription basis (i.e. title searches from the Circuit Courts office through remote monitors), will be provided to City Council. This system would have the capability of being expanded in terms of the Real Estate Assessor's Office and other data bases throughout the city. There is a decline in State support for the Treasurer's Office of approximately $154,000 and approximately $102,000 for the Commissioner of the Revenue. The City Council provided the City Treasurer an appropriation of $300,000 for the implementation of a new consolidated collection system to be offset by increased revenues in February 1991. Councilwoman Parker referenced a verbatim provided by the City Clerk's Office containing Mr. Atkinson's statement to a probable reduction in City Staff by two as a result of the acquisition of this system. A comparison of the cost of moving the Kempsville Office of the City Treasurer will be provided. The Department of Human Resources has reorganized reducing the Department from ten budget units to six. The current activities of this program will continue with some increases in processing times. Increased times are caused by the elimination of temporary FTE's in the FY 1992-93 Budget which were available in the FY 1991-92. Human Resources has been reduced by 2.5 FTE's and an equivalent of 5 temporary clerical positions. Relative the police recruitment, approximately 1500 to 2000 applications were received. Physical examinations are performed in house. Blood and urine work might be farmed out to laboratories. The City Staff will provide information relative the number of positions funded but not currently filled in the School Budget, and the equation in terms of dollars. The total number of employees within the last two or three years who have received the tuition reimbursement benefits and then moved from City services to the private sector or to other fields of employment will be provided to City Council. Relative the Courts and Public Defender, Mr. Block advised the trends in these departments are very clear as the caseloads are increasing. There has not been a significant increase in the total number of resources available. In some cases, there has been a decline in those resources. The Court Appointed Special Advocate is primarily a volunteer program, but there are State grant funds that provide for the Coordinator position. A breakdown relative the types of cases shall be furnished to City Council. The Commonwealth's Attorney's Office reflects a significant increase in the number of violent crimes as compared from January/February 1991 to January/February 1992. There is also a continued significant increase in the workload. The average caseload per Commonwealth Attorney is 135 cases. The Commonwealth Attorney's Association suggests a maximum range between 90 - 100 cases per attorney. The Department will operate at 98.65% of its original FY 1991-92 Operating Budget. Albert Alberi, Chief Deputy Commonwealth's Attorney advised there is a grant position in Victim/Witness which is currently active Extensive use of citizen volunteers trained and employed, consistently has enabled this service to be kept at an adequate level. - 4 - C IT Y C 0 UN C I L W OR K S HOP FY 1992-1993 OPERATING BUDGET ITEM # 35474 (Continued) The Sheriff and Department of Corrections is an area of substantial cost growth, all of which is comprised of State funds. There is no increase in the amount of City funds. The total amount of resources will increase substantially with the completion of the new jail, a new central booking facility and continuation of the work release program. For FY 1992-93, the daily inmate count will be approximately 700. Virginia Beach is one of the few communities in the State, which will not be faced with an overcrowded jail facility in the foreseeable future. Concerning Juvenile Probation, approximately $2-MILLION in State funding is expected. The City's costs are expected to be slightly less than last year. The cost of group home services are increasing and will continue to increase. Mr. Norris P. Phillips - Pendleton Child Service Center, advised relative the 75 percent average success rate at closure. At the time the individual is discharged from the facility a survey is done with the school and family and an average determined. A telephone survey was performed for a 5-year period, a 3- year period and a 1-year period, which indicated an approximate 75 percent success rate. A follow-up of one year is maintained with the family and the school. Information regarding the AVANCE program shall be provided to City Council. Mayor Oberndorf advised the Blue Ribbons worn by Council Members were a gift from the Pendleton Child Service Center to designate their OPPOSITION to child abuse. April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. The Office of Community Corrections is primarily funded through State grants. Only the Pre-trial Program requires any City funding. Funding for the programs in total has remained relatively flat from FY 1991-92 to FY 1992-93. Services in the Health Department are limited by State budget resources in that most services are funded through the cooperative budget, which is based on a 55% - 45% state-city match. Funding provides for the continuation of unmatched City programs, except for the Pungo project due to limited service impact and duplication of existing elderly services. A part-time clerk position has been converted to a full-time State position. Funding is now included in the City Match. Dr. Nancy Welch, Acting Director - Health Department, advised at the present time there are no existing regulations that provide for charges to the restaurants for health inspections. There are approximatley 6,000 children in Virginia Beach, less than 6 years of age, who fall in the 100% poverty level. The Health Department, with its maximum capacity, has only been able to see approximately 2,000. Comprehensive Health Investment Program at the present time is a funded program by Kellog Foundation. Daniel Stone, Director - Social Services, advised one of the inherent responsibilities of social work is "paperwork"; however, clerical support has been used to free professionally trained people to work with the individuals. A few months ago when an emergency grant was received from the State, to improve the handling of food stamp cases, approximately 23 computers were purchased to assist in the elimination of the paperwork. During the past two years, applications and ongoing cases have increased by 57.4% and 63.4%, respectively. The Police Department will operate at 99.94% of its FY 1991-92 original operations budget. All sworn positions are funded including 9 additional officers for street level narcotics enforcement and youth gangs. A reduction of 3 non-sworn positions (1 Clerk I and 1 Automotive Services Aide) have been made. In addition, several positions have been "blue-lined" for eventual elimination due to restructuring of the Department of the Investment Program. The five "blue-lined' positions from the restructuring are: 2 majors, 1 captain and I lieutenant. - 5 - C IT Y C 0 UN C I L W OR K S HOP FY 1992-1993 OPERATING BUDGER ITEM # 35474 (Continued) Four (4) additional clerical positions (all Secretary II's) are "blue-lined" and eventually will be eliminated due to the acquisition of microcomputers for investigations. The City Staff will check with the City of Newport News to determine their success with a similar type of "lap top" computer system. There have been significant increases in violent felonies and property crimes in 1991 over 1990. This is resulting in a shift of manpower to emphasize the Priority 1 and 2 calls, which results in an increase in the response time for the lower priority calls. The Telephone Reporting Unit is now handling approximately 33% of all the offense reports taken by the department personnel. The Auxiliary Police will now be certified. Page 9.4 of the Budget document reflects 30,532 hours donated by the Auxiliary Police. The Police responded to 9,123 calls with the estimated value to the City being $421,154. Chief Wall believed this estimate to be low. Outlines of the staffing for the different precincts will be provided, as well as response times for various calls in the different precincts. Information relative overtime projected for each department will be provided to City Council. Approximately 480 positions will no longer be eligible for overtime. The Public Works Department has organized into six (6) major divisions in order to facilitate the provisions of services: (1) Directors Office, (2) Highway Division (3) Engineering Division, (4) Traffic Division, (5) Waste Management Division and (6) Permits and Inspections Division. One of the most innovative organizational changes involves the creation of a Capital Improvement Program Design Bureau within the department. City Staff could provide the preliminary and final design work for approximately 34% less than the private sector has been charging. The Department has identified twenty-eight (28) CIP projects which it believes can be designed in-house for an estimated $942,000. The Mosquito Control Program and Backyard Inspection Program will no longer be performed. The Street Resurfacing program is being operated on an 18-year cycle. This Budget does not anticipate any funding from a Storm Water Management fee. Ralph Smith, Director of Public Works, advised there are 14 stormwater projects of the 28 CIP projects to be designed in-house. This operation budget shall provide for the design of this project. However, the Capital Improvement Program funding source must be resolved for the acquisition and construction through the CIP process. Concern was expressed relative the chip seal resurfacing. This chip seal will protect the road from further deterioration. City Staff was directed that this chip seal should not be utilized on Twenty-second Street down to the Oceanfront. Mr. Smith advised a presentation will be provided to City Council concerning the costs and various alternatives of paving techniques and requesting City Council's guidance. There are 59 CIP positions. Mayor Oberndorf advised the City is already recycling 22% of its residential waste stream and taking into consideration the 10% saved by the offices, this comes to 16%. Based on the mandate of the State Goverriment to have 25% of the waste stream recyclable by 1995, the City is ahead. The Clean Community Commission is not under the Public Works Department but is within the General Services Budget. This Commission has not been eliminated. City funding has been eliminated which was supplementing the grant received from the State for the Clean Community Coordinator. Mr. Smith advised removal of litter from the resort area will be monitored and a determination made as to whether this removal should be continued for 5 days during the winter. Litter is removed from the Resort area 7 days a week during the sumtner. SPSA refuse disposal fees are estimated to be $4,425,000 for FY 1992-93, and are included under the Bureau of Waste Disposal in Public Works. The City Manager advised both the Southeastern Public Service Authority and the Planning District Commission are planning adjustments of approximately 5% to their employees. However, no increase in the tipping fee has been proposed. It will remain at the $29.50 level. - 6 - C 0 N C E R N S 0 F T H E M A Y 0 R ITEM # 35475 Mayor Oberndorf advised receipt of the resignation of Paul J.

GOLF COURSE COMMITTEE REPORT ITEM 35480 The City Manager introduced the Members of the STAFF REVIEW COMMITTEE evaluating the Publlc-Use Golf Course Committee Report: Patricia Phillips, Chair Director - Office of Research and Strategic Analysis Susan Walston Director - Department of Parks and Recreation Walter Wawner Director - Office of Budget and Evaluation James Ricketts Director - Department of Convention and Visitor Development Mark Weaver Department of Economic Development Patricia Phillips advised Stacy Hershberger, of Research and Strategic Analysis, and Jan Bella, of Parks and Recreation, provided a tremendous amount of Staf f sup port, the product of whi ch is ref I ected in this report. The Stat f Review Committee conferred with citizens, golfers, pros, independent bodies, i. e. National Golf Foundation and representatives of local and out-of-state golf courses. Sheppard Davis, Chair of the Public-Use Golf Course Committee, indicated general agreement with the Staff's recommendations; although, he indicated the Staff has not fully described the severity of the conditions at the courses. The Public-Use Golf Course Committee recommended privatization to solve maintenance and management problems at the City courses. Mrs. Phillips advised neither self-operation nor privatization based on the Staff's research, proved to be the best answer for managing municipal golf courses. The Staff recommends the City retain control of golf operations with improvements to management, course conditions and customer satisfaction. Parks and Recreation can operate these facilities, gear them to residents while welcoming tourists and capture the profit segment as well. Mrs. Phillips identified Specific Improvements: Improve turf conditions Improve management Establish "goit cards" for discount rounds for residents Adjust fee schedules Reevaluate contractual arrangements with pros and food and beverage concessions, including customer satisfaction requirements Monitor course conditions and customer satisfaction using surveys and other techniques Rebuild Red Wing I and Bow Creek with Enterprise Fund revenue. Mrs. Phillips displayed a "pie chart" depicting more discounted and free than regular fee rounds (56% or 105,006 discounted rounds). Neither Red Wing nor Bow Creek meet current United State Golf Association standards for construction. The USGA recommends reconstruction of courses every twenty to twenty-five years. An RFP for design services for reconstruction of thirteen (13) of the greens at Bow Creek is currently being advertised. Because of the status of Red Wing, it has not made good business sense to invest in reconstruction until clear title is established for use of the property. The Enterprise Fund can fund the reconstruction at Red Wing or It can be done through a public/private partnership. - 14 - C I T Y M A N A G E R S P R E S E N T A T I 0 N Item 111-G.l.
