Virginia Beach City Council and Planning Commission Meetings, Archives of Previous Meetings, and Original VBTV Programming City Manager’s Update The Central Business District Association will host its January luncheon on Friday, Jan. 27, at the Westin Virginia Beach Town Center, where I have the honor of serving as the keynote speaker. This event begins at 11:30 a.m. with networking, followed by the lunch program at noon. City councilmembers who wish to attend the luncheon should RSVP by Wednesday, Jan. 25, to CBDA Program Director Emily Zak ([email protected]) to reserve a seat.

The Virginia Beach Police Department will host a Recruiting Expo on Saturday, Jan. 28, 2017, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at its Training Facility off Birdneck Road (411 Integrity Way, near I-264). For more information, call (757) 385- 6354 or visit www.VBgov.com/police. The Virginia Beach Sheriff’s Office recognized those who have received promotions and those who have retired over the past nine months during a ceremony on Saturday, Jan. 14, at the Law Enforcement Training Academy. Sheriff Ken Stolle promoted 14 individuals to the ranks of corporal, sergeant, and lieutenant, and two to the rank of captain. The Sheriff’s Office also celebrated the retirement of 17 members (10 deputies, 5 auxiliary deputies and 2 civilians) who collectively accounted for more than 300 years of combined service. Congratulations to the newly promoted and best wishes to our retirees. In the ongoing effort to improve service delivery to the city, the Department of Information Technology adopted the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) methodology as industry best practice for IT service management. ITIL is the most widely accepted approach to IT service management in the world; it helps individuals and organizations use IT to realize business change, transformation and growth. A department-wide training plan for ITIL was developed, including on-site, certified instructor- led classes. IT team members have embraced this comprehensive approach to delivering the best possible service. Some of the department’s training accomplishments to date (FY15-FY17): 100% of IT staff completed IT Service Management Awareness Training in FY16 57% of IT staff completed ITIL Foundation Training 97% of those who took the training have achieved ITIL certification The department now has two members that are certified ITIL Experts on staff Starting this spring, members will be able to take classes online. Additionally, an ITIL Awareness and Foundations class will be offered at no cost. In alignment with initiatives of the City’s first-ever Master Technology Plan developed in 2014, the IT department is committed to providing outstanding service to the City of Virginia Beach and its customers, and will continue to ensure that our members have the proper tools and practices in place to move the City forward through innovative technology projects. The Planning and Community Development Department is seeking input to measure their customer service satisfaction efforts, with hopes to enhance future service experiences. Customers can provide feedback in two ways: online at www.surveymonkey.com/r/pcdservices or by completing a survey card, which will be available at Planning’s service counters. A link to the online survey will also be included in all of Planning’s correspondence. Mayor William D. Sessoms, Jr. and City Council members invite all Virginia Beach EMS volunteers to mark their calendars for “Rock the Squads!,” a free special event being put together to recognize and thank VBEMS for all their hard work and dedication to the City. Mayor Sessoms, each City Council member, Deputy City Manager Steve Cover, EMS Chief Ed Brazle and I signed the invitation to support the event at last week’s Council meeting. “Rock the Squads!” will take place on Sunday, May 7, at Mount Trashmore Park from noon to 1:30 p.m. for EMS volunteers and their families, and will open to the public from 2 to 5 p.m. with food trucks and live entertainment. The Convention and Visitors Bureau participated in a pier-side homecoming event for the USS Whidbey Island by donating more than 40 dozen donuts and 300 branded Koozies to the troops and their families. Along with the donuts and Koozies, hundreds of Virginia Beach attraction guides were distributed to the families as a way to share ideas of how the reunited families could spend time reconnecting while having fun in Virginia Beach. The City of Virginia Beach and the BEACH Community Partnership will conduct the annual Point-in-Time Count of people who are experiencing homelessness on Thursday, Jan. 26, from 4 to 7 a.m. During the count, teams of citizen volunteers, nonprofit service providers and city staff, assisted by Virginia Beach police officers, will canvass each of the city’s four precincts and survey individuals who are without shelter. In coordination with the count, the faith community will hold Project Homeless Connect on the same day, from 8 a.m. to noon at the Virginia Beach United Methodist Church, 212 19th St. Project Homeless Connect will provide supportive services and resources to assist homeless families and individuals in moving closer to ending their homelessness. These include referral to housing resources and veterans’ services. Participants may also receive services and resources from local businesses and organizations such as medical screenings, hygiene kits, haircuts and food. Each year, more than $1.4 million is granted through the Continuum of Care to Virginia Beach agencies that provide housing and supportive services to the homeless. The data collected from the count also enables the city to assess the size and characteristics of the homeless population in order to help develop and enhance strategies for preventing and ending homelessness.

TWIXT OCEAN AND PINES: THE SEASIDE RESORT AT VIRGINIA BEACH, 1880-1930 Jonathan Mark Souther Master of Arts University of Richmond, 1996 Robert C. Kenzer, Thesis Director This thesis descnbes the first fifty years of the creation of Virginia Beach as a seaside resort. It demonstrates the importance of railroads in promoting the resort and suggests that Virginia Beach followed a similar developmental pattern to that of other ocean resorts, particularly those ofthe famous New Jersey shore. Virginia Beach, plagued by infrastructure deficiencies and overshadowed by nearby Ocean View, did not stabilize until its promoters shifted their attention from wealthy northerners to Tidewater area residents. After experiencing difficulties exacerbated by the Panic of 1893, the burning of its premier hotel in 1907, and the hesitation bred by the Spanish American War and World War I, Virginia Beach enjoyed robust growth during the 1920s. While Virginia Beach is often perceived as a post- World War II community, this thesis argues that its prewar foundation was critical to its subsequent rise to become the largest city in Virginia.

    2016-2020 Press Releases Facts & Figures 2020, May 19 Hampton University is celebrating the graduating class of 2020 a little differently this year due to the COVID- 19 pandemic. If circumstances followed the normal pattern, the seniors would have donned their caps and gowns this past Mother’s Day to attend Hampton University’s 150th Commencement ceremony. These students have worked hard these past years to earn their degrees and so Hampton University wants to recognize the importance of honoring their achievements. 2020, May 16 Dr. and Mrs. William R. Harvey are doing their part to assist Hampton University students during these unprecedented times by making a donation of $100,000 to their "Home by the Sea” to provide financial relief to individual students who have needs related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hampton‘s first couple is no stranger to giving and giving back to the university they have led for 42 years. This latest gift matches the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's gift of $100,000 to the University in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hampton University will use the $200,000 to provide each on-campus student $100 to assist with travel costs to retrieve their belongings or return to school in the fall. 2020, May 8 Hampton University student, Sierra Williams-McLeod, was selected to receive $10,000 as a 2020 EmPOWERED to Serve Scholar.
