ITEM # 35028
E. Dean Block, Assistant City Manager for Economic Management, referenced the
VIRGINIA BEACH CITY COUNCIL AND SCHOOL BOARD WORKSHOP - Capital Improvement
Program FY 1991-1992 - 1995-1996, held during the City Council Session of
October 29, 1991. Dr. Sidney L. Faucette, Superintendent - Vlrginia Beach City
Schools, had advised a significant study was being prepared encompassing
various forms of housing students, as well as the utilization of
I'dismantables", and better utilization of space. This report is due in December
and recognizes the fact there could be substantial changes in future years,
based on the different pollcy alternatives the Board will be investigating. The
other issue which needed to be clarified concerned the detailed pages of the
schc,ol budget, containing the terminology "To Be Determined". This terminology
does not mean there is no funding for the project, only that City staff was
reluctant to prioritize the projects or to decide which ones could be modified
to meet overall tunding limits. The City Manager recommended a "bottorn line"
total for each year of the School's Capital Improvement Program. The City
Manager requested the Council refer the document back to the School System. The
School system, at that time, declined to further review the document. In the
first year, of the School's proposal, the recommended amount from the City
Manager is actually 95% of the School Board's request. There is agreement, the
land acquisition project could be adjusted and the first year could go forward
accordingly. Thus, there would be no impact on any of the planning of the
projects included in the first year of their CIP. The Schools would have $1.6-
MILLION appropriated in the first year of the CIP, in addition to the $3.8-
MILLION existing from previous actions of City Council. Funds exceeding $5-
MILLION would be available for land acquisition. In the next two years of the
CIP, the City Manager's recommendation was 91-1/4% of the School's request,
sufficient funding to provlde for the construction by 1994 of Ocean Lakes High
School and the West Kempsville Area Middle School. The Schools would need to
make approximately $7-MiLLION in adjustments in a $100-MILLION program in the
first three years. It is important to put this in prospective.
The Ocean Lakes High School project first appeared in the 1989 Capital
Improvement Program at a cost of approximately $26.8-MILLION and was not
scheduled to open until 1996. In 1991, this project scope had Increased 287,000
square feet and was scheduled to open in 1995. A 1992 Referendum has been
included and proposed in the Capital Improvement Program FY 1991-1992 - 1995-
1996. There has been a 1992 Referendum scheduled since 1986. With the approval
of the 1992 Bond Referendum, Ocean Lakes High School would be constructed by
1994. Therefore, this project has been advanced through actions ot City Council
to provide tunding for design and other activities. The City feels comfortable,
the major issues which the schools have put forward can be addressed; however,
there is greater uncertainty in the fourth and fifth year. Should the 111800
student per year rate" materialize as the School Board anticipates, the fourth
and fifth year of the CIP would require the results of the School Board's
December Study.
Councilman Jones referenced the 1145/15 Program" and whether such a plan would
aftect the Schools' CIP requirements, as well as the type of housing
requlrements necessary. Councilman Jones requested this Program be included in
the December Study. The Virginia Beach City School Board meets tonight,
November 5, 1991, at 7:00 P.M. and shall be discussing the 1145-15 Program" for
students (45 days on, 15 days off), which would impact their CIP.
The tentative amount of the 1992 Referendum is $50-MILLION, subject to
adjustment. The possibility of two Referendums, totaling $100-MILLION, was
investigated for 1992 and 1994. The size of the Referendum could be adjusted.
Additional funds for site acquisition would be included in the 1992 Referendum.

ITEM # 35028 (Continued)
The State has not stayed with their previous policies and the City cannot rely
on any funds for growth related costs, i.e, new enrollment, from the State.
Regarding the amount of the tax increase, resulting from the $50-MILLION 1992
Referendum, this was not specifically estimated as the School Board has not
responded to the City Council's request for detail. Mr. Block will make
reasonable assumptions in order to advise City Council of the estimated tax
increase. Mr. Block will also outline the total Operating Costs (including
teachers' salaries) to staff a school.
The Stormwater section of the CIP was dependent for funding of both debt
service and pay-as-you-go capital financing on the stream of revenues to be
produced by the Environmental Services Utility and fee. As further review of
this Utility has been indicated by City Council, it will be necessary to "set
aside" the vast majority of this particular section of the CIP pending final
City Council action, in order for the remainder of the CIP to be acted on in
accordance with the current schedule. Mr. Block referenced his Memorandum of
November Fourth concerning the Environmental Services Utility and fee, with
attached new summary pages reflecting those changes. Said memorandum is hereby
made a part of the record. The Various Drainage Improvement - CIP 2-020 and
Queen City Drainage - CIP 2-172, contained in this attachment, do not depend
upon the fee for their funding. The $200,000 for Various Drainage Improvements
was appropriated in the Operating Budget last July. The funds in the Queen City
Drainage project are Community Development Block Grants or Federal Grant Money;
therefore, these funds remain. Because of the debt service incurred, all the
other projects in 1991-1992 were dependent upon the fees for financing. The
ultimate desire of any utility is to sell revenue bonds. Revenue bonds could
not be sold the first two years, so Charter Bonds would continue to be
utilized, but as used in the water and sewer system, the debt service would be
paid for with the revenues of the utility and the General Fund reimbursed. As
per request, Mr. Block will prepare a written report of the process.
The City Staff will advise of interim measures to assist in the problems
associated with flooding in the North Beach and Princess Anne Plaza area, i.e.
borrowing funds from other projects.
Mr. Block advised the revenue stream from the Envirorunental Services Utility
and fee will commence in July 1992. Concerning the first projects to which this
revenue stream would be applied, Mr. Block referenced Page IA in the
STORMWATER Section of the CIP, which details the projects financed to date or
in 1991-1992 as projects which would begin to move forward. Pocohantas Village
Drainage System Improvements - CIP 2-181, has been budgeted at $500,000 with
$135,418 available to begin design during the first year. Cleveland
Street/Columbus Street Outfall - CIP 2-964 and Pine Ridge Drainage Project -
CIP 2-179, would be fully funded as a result of the fee. These projects are
bond related and the debt service on the bonds could be supported from the fee.
To implement the utility fee in June 1992, adoption of an Environmental
Services Utility Ordinance, and adoption of Environmental Services Utility
rate, must be completed prior to December 25, 1991. On October 29, 1991, City
Council DEFERRED these Ordinances at least ninety days, if these Ordinances
were not adopted until the completion of this ninety day deferral, actual
billing would be delayed sixty to ninety days and the revenue from this utility
would be lost. The utility concept is simply one method of funding the
requirements of the Clean Water Act and the pressing drainage and flooding
problems in the City. The Public Works Department and others involved in the
Stormwater Mangement process will be working towards completion of Part 2 of
the required EPA permit in November 1992, at which time the City's
Comprehensive Plan and fiscal plan must be in place.

The City is required, by law, to include in the permit application a feasible
financial analysis and plan regarding pollution.
Councilwoman Parker distributed a copy of her letter of November Fifth, which
is hereby made a part of the record. Councilwoman Parker advised the quality of
education is one of the top deciding factors for the location of business.
Councilwoman Parker suggested the Capital Improvement Program be reprioritized
to ensure funding for School projects, and either delay or place into the "To
be Determined" category specific road projects for which development is
questionable and in the future.
Concerning the Water and Sewer Utility Section of the CIP. Mr. Block advised
Clarence Warnstaff, Director of Public Utilities, is in the process of
preparing comments, recommendations and programs previously discussed with the
City Council. Mr. Warnstaff did not feel it appropriate at this time to make
changes in the CIP until the City Council had examined these program
alternatives.
Councilwoman McClanan expressed concern relative General Booth Fire Station and
response times as the distance between fire stations is significant. Regarding
the General Booth Fire and Rescue Station, Councilman Jones requested this
project be evaluated to determine how this project could be moved forward.
Mr. Block advised Mayor Oberndorf, that contrary to a letter appearing in the
newspaper, the Little Neck Fire Station is in the Capital Improvement Program
and is in the process of being prepared for bid. The City Staff has advised the
writer and the newspaper.
As per request of Councilman Lanteigne, Mr. Block will prepare a report
concerning the revenues derived from the Truck Weighing Program. This revenue
stream might be utilized in the area of the bridges under construction.
Based on concerns of City Council, Mayor Oberndorf advised the City Council
will consider appointments to an Environmental Services Utility Co@mittee.

7 from the Refuge;
8 WHEREAS, these ponies have subsequently been sold at

18 breeding and grazing grounds.
