Jack Jennings, Jr. June 16,1986 M I N U T E S VIRGINIA BEACH CITY COUNCIL Virginia Beach, Virginia B R I E F I N G WRITE-IN VOTES June 9, 1986 12:00 NOON The City Manager introduced Dr. Marlene Hager, General Registrar, who presented a BRIEFING on WRITE-IN VOTES. Dr. Hager depicted an actual ballot. She advised the State Board of Elections controls the Ballot as it is composed and provides the number of spaces allocated each candidate. The BALLOT is then printed in the City's Print Shop. The actual composition is not determined by the REGISTRAR'S OFFICE. Dr. Hager further advised of the number of Write-In Votes, 125 were actually listed with a name; however, there were a total of 5,000. Each Candidate is given a number and each write-in position is given a number. The BALLOT is so constructed that the City must follow those numbers on the BALLOT. Councilman Baum suggested the names be separated one space from the write-in votes. Dr. Hager referended consistency in the BALLOT was cited as the reason for this procedure. Single spacing was done throughout the State for all localities with a computerized system. BY CONSENSUS, City Council requested Dr. Hager to advise the State Board expressing Council's concern and request a different spacing. Dr. Hager advised she believed the mistakes derived fro, write-in votes was a deliberate act. If you double space between the name and the write-in, more attention will be focused on same, which was one of the State's concerns. Dr. Hager referenced 30,369 individuals did not vote. M I N U T E S VIRGINIA BEACH CITY COUNCIL Virginia Beach, Virginia B R I E F I N G ARTS CENTER FUNDING BY CITY June 9, 1986 12:20 P.M. The City Manager introduced Patricia Phillips, Director of Research, who preseuted information relative ARTS FUNDING BY THE CITY. Patricia Phillips advised during 1985, City Council reserved $1.5 Million from the General Fund Balance for the proposed new Virginia Beach Arts Center facility. The funds were to be appropriated at the time the General Asembly contributed a like amount; the 1986 General Assembly did not appropriate any funds. Mrs Phillips further reiterated a report entitled: PROPOSED CONTRIBUTION TO VIRGINILA BEACH ARTS CENTER. Said report is hereby made a part of the Record. City Council set aside 12 acres (valued at $1,724,800) in 1971 for the proposed new facility in the Toll Road Park near the Virginia Beach Expressway. The VIRGINIA BEACH ARTS CENTER, established in 1952, has been at its current location at 1711 Arctic Avenue since 1977. The Arts Center is a membership organization with approximately 1,350 members. There are currently (6) full-time and 3 part-time staff. The annual cost of operations for 1985 was $291,736.00. The proposed new facility ie estimated to cost $4,614,816. It will be turned over to the City and leased to the Arts Center. The groundbreaking for the new facility is scheduled for July Seventh. Governor Baliles is scheduled to attend. The City Manager advised his recommendations. If Council desires to remove any funding coutingency, the City may appropriate $1.5 MILLION and pay the funds with the following conditions: 1. The project is bid out in accordance with City policy and the price does not exceed current estimates. If estimates are exceeded, the Arts Center will work with City staff in modifying the design in order to lower cost. 2. The City release funds on a monthly draw basis after the Arts Center has used all available private funding. This is expected to occur as early as March, 1987, in order to prevent the Arts Center from requiring short-term borrowing. The availability of City funds should be contingent on the Arts Center having completed at least 20% of construction and realizing at least 80% of pledge revenues projected for that point in time (as projected by cash flow statement given to Patricia Phillips by Michael Marks on May 30, 1986). Requests for payment should be made thirty days in advance. B R I E F I N G (Continued) 3. The Manager shall be informed of all change orders to the construction project; in addition, all change orders in excess of $5,000 shall be approved by the City Manager. Approval will not be withheld unreasonably. 4. The Executive Committee -- Five (5) additional persons (the Director of General Services plus four persons appointed by Council should be added to both the Executive Committee and the Board of Trustees. The Arts Center Board of Trustees may make recommendations for Council consideration through the City Clerk's Office. 5. The concerns expressed by City Staff regarding the facility as outlined in Appendix F are resolved, including use of a Halon System in the Exhibit Area. 6. The amount currently in the C.I.P. for sitework is not increased. 7. The lease agreement between the City and the Arts Center for the new facility should be revised to reflect the City's appropriation; this is especially important since the deadline for commencement of construction was August 30, 1985. BY CONSENSUS, City Council SCHEDULED a PUBLIC HEARING and FIRST @ING for $1.5 MILLION appropriation by the City to construct the VIRGINIA BEACH ARTS CEKTER on Wednesday, June 18, 1986, at 7:00 P.M.

CITY: CONSULTANT: CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VA ALVORD OWSON By By City Manager Partner: Witness: Deparment of Public Utilities By ctor By customyr Orvice(Administrator Certified as to Availability of Funds: Assistant to the City Manager Finance Approved as to Form Deparment of Law Attest: City Clerk witness: @it@ C)f OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER MUNICIPAL CENTER (804) 127-4242 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA 231%@OW2 June 9, 19-06 The Honorable Mayor Meiiibers of the City Council l@funicipal Center Virginia Beach, VA 23456 Dear Mayor and Council Meinbers: The Director of Public Utilities recoiamends the City retain the consulting firin of Alvord, Burdick, and Howson (ABH) to conduct a water and saiiitary sewer cost of service study for the City of Virginia Beach. It is recominended the City Council approve a transfer of $220,000 within the Water and Sewer Fund from the Reserve for Contingeiicies to the Department operating budget, and the City Manager be authorized to execute a contract with ABH. Background Over the past 10 years the Department of Public Utilities has coinmissioned four water and sewer service rate studies. These studies did not provide a full scale cost o@ service study but were primarily limited to a deterinination of a schedule of service char-.es which would provide sufficient revenues to maintain the water and sewer enterprise fund on a self-supporting basis. The iiiost recent study, co@nmissioned in 1983, recoininended the current rates that were adopted on July 1, 1983. Previous rate studies conducted by consultants are deliileated below: Year Cost 1976 $120,000 1979 $ 10,000 1980 $ 31,000 1983 $ 40,000 Tho study conducted in 1976 was a fairly coinprehensive study; however, the 1979, 1980, and 1983 studies were updates of June 9, 1986 The Honorable @rvlayor i,leinbers of the City Couiicil Page 2 tlie 1976 study. The proposed cost ol service study represents the most comprehensive study in the Department's history. Tlie water and sewer systeiti has chaliged considerably since 1976. For example, in 1976 there were 44,000 water connections. In 1986, there are 38,000. Additionally, in 1976 there were 17,000 sewer connections and now that number is 88,000. Another measureiiient of the drainatic change in the utility operations is the change in the dollar value of utility plant assets. They were approximately $72 niillion in 1976, and in 1986, the number is in excess of $240 million. A rate study can be defined as establistling the total ts and recommending increases to ensure that revenue requiremen rates produce sufficient revenues. A cost of service study can be defined as establishing the total e@veYu-e-req-ul-r--e-iii-en-ts-atid the cost of operating and maintaining the utility system is allocated to the various customer classes (water custoiners, sewer custoiners, residential customers, commercial, etc.). The revenues generated froni the various categories of rates are tested against the allocated costs to deterinine if the rates are coinpensatory: i.e., are water customers subsidizing sanitary sewer custoffiers or vice versa? One primary objective of a cost of service study is to develop rate schedules for oustonler classes which reflect the cost of providing the service. Objective of the Study Within the water and sanitary sewer operations, there are over 60 different rates. These rates are delineated on Attacliment I. An objective of the cost of service study is to recommend adjustments to these 60 rates to ensure tliat they are based on cost the Utility incurs in providing the service and to ensure that the rates do not result in undue subsidy among the custoiners that use the service. Service to be Provided by the Consultant Section I of the proposed contract - Scope of Services - delineates 20 separate work elements required of the consultant. The scope of work was developed by representatives of the Utility Departinent, Budget Office, and Finance. These 20 work elements are suminarized below: June 9, 1986 The Honorable Idayor fder@ibers of the City Council Page 3 1. Review population, customer classes, water demand and sewage flows. 2. Tabulate representative sar@iple of bills to deteririne customer claSSes and usage. 3.

Capital improvements through current revenues f. transfer of funds to or froin other niunicipal accounts 4. Inspection, inventory, and evaluation of utility plant facilities in regard to both age and depreciation of systeiii assets. 5. Review and allocation of operation aild laaintellance expense to functional categories. 6. Allocation of capital facilities cost to functional categories. 7. An evaluation of revenue obtained under the current rates. 8. An exatnination of capital and depreciation accounts; an evaluation of renewal and replacement allocation for capital iinprovements. 9. An evaluation of revenues versus cost, based on five year projection. Consultant to provide a recommendation regarding rate increases for the next two years. 10. Develop rate structure for water and sewer service allocating cost among custoiaer classes. Study the advisability of a seasonal rate for hotel and other comftiercial customers. 11. Evaluate rate structures for dependence on capital fees and make recoinmendations if required to reduce dependency. June 9, 1986 The Honorable Mayor Meinbers of the City Council Page 4 12. Test rates for the appropriate service classes for revenue requireinents. 13. Evaluate the benefits and burdens to switcli from bi- monthly meter reading to monthly iaeter reading. Review meter reading technologies for new break tliroughs in data collections, handling, and integration into the billing systeiii. 14. Evaluate potential niethods to provide utility rate relief for the City's qualified elderly. 15. Evaluate the feasibility of establishing separate water and sewer funds for accounting purposes; identify the advantages and disadvantages. 16. Evaluate utility fund accounting practices and recornmend its contiiluatioil or replaceiiient. 17. Determine the cost of fire-protection and evaluate current fund transfers froin the general fund. 18. Prepare a draft report for City review and final report prc)perly docuriented and illustrated. 19. At the conclusion of the study, the consultant shall furnish to the City full study docutnentation anci background material including all coinputer software. 20.

Attachment II identifies a coinparison of ABH's inultiplier of 2.7 to other national consulting firnis. The City of Norfolk has used tile firm of Black and Ve,t,h f Kansas City as rate consultants for approximately the last 10 years. In 1976, Black aiid Veatch was retained for $225,000 by tlie City of Norfolk to conduct a comprehensive cost of service study. This study took approxiinately 9 months to couiplete. The City of Norfolk updates their cost of service studies oii an approxiniate 3-4 year cycle with typical costs in the range of $100,000 plus depending @ppn the exact scope of services required. The (2onsultaiit The firm of Alvord, Burdick, and Ilowson is a corisulting engineering firm located in Chicago, Illinois. The firm is nationally kiiown and recogiiized as an expert in the field of water and sanitary sewer cost of service studies. Qualified firms were invited to submit StateLilents of interest and qualifications to the Departinent of Public Utilities on tvlay 1, 1985. Six firms respoiided and they are listed below: Alvord, Burdick, and liowsoii Buck, Seifert, & Jost Duchart-Horn Cainp, Dresser, and iIcKee Clinton Bogart William C. Overiian June 9, 1986 The Honorable Mayor @lembers of the -ity Council Page 6 Tile lirchitectual and Engineering Selection Committee reviewed the qualifications of the six firms and considered four firms qualified for interviews. The references f,r the f,,r firms were cheeked in preparation for the interviews. The firms selected for interviews were as follows: Alvord, Burdick, and liowson Buck, Seifert, & Jost Camp, Dresser, and McKee William C. Overman The iiiterviews were conducted on July 30 and 31, 1985. The Selection Coinmittee recoi.,unended tlie firm of Alvord, Burdick, and flowson be selected as the consultant for the cost of service study. The firm of ABII was selected for the following reasoiis: 1. 13roadest and inost recent experiences as a rate consultant for a inunicipal utility with a niajor capital iinprovement prograni (City of Chicago). 2. Most qualified group of professional engineers assigned to the work teain aiid liad deinoiistrated in I)revious work for the City of Virginia Beach the ability to inaintain effective cost control througliout the life of the contract. The Selection Com)nittee used a inatrix of factors to evaluate each firm. The factors are based on the criteria established in the architectual and eiigineering selectioii policy. The Contract The proposed contact includes six sections. Tliese sections are: Section 1- Scope of.Services Section 2- Additional Services of the Consultant Section 3- The City's Responsib'ility Section 4- Period of Service Section 5- Paynients to tlie Engineer Section 6- General Considerations Tlie proposed contract has been reviewed by tlie City Attorney's Office and approved as to forni. Juiie 9, 1936 The tionorable Mayor f,leinbers of the City Council Page 7 Section 2 of the contract provides "if authorized in writing by the City, the consultant will furnish additional services which shall be paid for by the City as indicated in Section 511. If during the course of the study a change order is necessary, the change order would be authorized ouly by the appropriate City official and in accordance with the City's policy for the issuance of change orders. The language included in the contract is provided in City contracts to provide flexibility to the City to issue change orders if required and justified. Summary The last rate increase was in 1983. The City staff recognizes that it will be necessary to increase the water and sewer rates in future years. The mairl question is how iiiuch and how often and which rates stiould change. The purpose of this study is to provide the city staff a sound basis for makilig recommeDdations to the City Council. It is necessary to go forward today with a water and sewer cost of servi,e tudy. The next five years will be very critical in terms of establishing revenue requireineiits for the Utility i)epartment priinarily because of the Lake Gaston Project. As we go forward with the Lake Gaston Project and as we go to the bond market to sell Lake Gaston bonds, it will be necessary for the City to clearly demonstrate that we llav(@ a financial plan and a iiiechanism iii place to pay the debt service associated with the bonds. The proposed study is part of tlie City's plail to bring a water supply to the City of Virginia Beach. As you are aware we are proceeding with the Lake Gaston engineering, pursuing resolution of the issues involved in litigation, and implementing the water resource recovery fee. A cost of service study to establish cost based rates is the next step in the City's effort to continue the process on the lake Gaston Project. The Director of Public Utilities will be prepared to respond to your questions and to provide a briefing to you in the Council Session on Monday, June 9.

First, however, a brief review of the inultiplier concept and the variables involved in the fee calculation will be presented in order to clarify the discussion. The almost universal method for tlie calculation of fees for professional engineering services is to inultiply the direct manpower costs allocated to a project by a niultiplier. Ti'le multiplier allows for benefits, overhead, and profit. Each firi,i establishes its own multiplier based on an accounting of its actual costs and experiences for previous years. A nuinber of factors relating to the nianner in wllicil a firm conducts its business will impact the magnitude of the multiplier. For exainple, if a firia is extreinely careful witli respect to keeping unbillable manhours to an absolute minimum, tilen overhead rates, and subsequently the multiplier will be reduced. This can be accomplished by making sure employees meticulously charge the clieiit for (@very siiigle fiinute attributa.ble to a given project and by staffing at minimulli levels. Firais that frequently hire and layoff depending on the workload, do not employ high level specialists, and do not undertake extreinely teclinical or liigil-risk assigilineiits tend to have lower overheads and, hence, lower multipliers. The amount of benefits paid to ei@iployees, tlie a,,nount of profit, and tlie location, size, and type of office facilities used by the firin will also iinpact the ixiultiplier. The multiplier is onfy one of three pri(nary variables used to detertnine eiigineering fees. The,other two are the number of manhours assigned to tlie project and the hourly rate paid for those manhours. A lower multiplier will not necessarily result in a lower engineering fee if more inanhours are assigned to the project and/or hourly rates are higher. Listed below are the niultipliers used by a flutnber of large, well established engineering firms. All figures represent recent experiences (1984-86) with the exception of ]3etz-Converse-,@lurduch (1980). The trend in the last few years has been toward higher overtieads (therefore higher iiiultipliers) as professional liability insurance, inedical benefits, and other indirect costs have beerl increasing at a higher rate than salary levels.
