Citizen Budget Comments CITIZEN BUDGET COMMENTS These comments are printed as submitted, with no editing except to remove offensive language and potentially libelous remarks. Comments from Hampton residents via web polling Raise taxes to cover priority services. Just raise the taxes a FAIR amount. Give the employees that have stayed with the city a real raise, one that will add to the VRS retirement program. Please spend our tax money wisely, and stop buying run down apartments. Look past the downtown area, and listen to what the people want. We love living in Hampton and don’t envy you the task of funding this fine city. For my family and I we find that the expenditures for leisure activities should be the first to go, in our house if we are having trouble paying our bills that’s the first thing to go and believe that should be the same for our city too. Thank you for your hard work. The staff has been cutting/merging for a long time , I don’t think there is much left to cut. Let’s not gut the city and go back in time...I support a one time tax increase, but I expect council to reduce the tax as property values recover......ONE MORE THING----- ------ lets put a hold on acquiring property--PLEASE-------- 1) ALL city employees pay maximum % allowed by law towards THEIR pension and health care costs 2)NO NEW COURTHOUSE 3)Reduce needs list it is not written stone $) say NO to mandates especially in social areas 5) get rid of diversity council - whites are the minority in Hampton now 6)STOP ALL HIRING OF ALL CONSULTANTS 7) STOP HIRING OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS USE EXISTING STAFF THIS INCLUDES THE SCHOOLS 8)COLLECT TAXES OWED - IE. pENINSULA TOWN CENTER Think twice about the use of high price consultants who don’t really know the development history of Hampton. Call on retired city employees for the backstory. Please provide more funds to the schools with the increase in taxes. Please do not consider reducing the hours of the 311 Call Center becuase it is such an invaluable asset for the city. Ha! Ha! Great Joke of a survey! I sure hope you aren’t spending much on THIS process! maintain existing services, emergency/parks/education, don’t spend money on new projects which stretch the already thin budget. Though my husband is 100 military disabled and as of this year does not pay property tax, we are willing to pay and support an increase so that services continue to support the community. Continue to maintain what the city has and stop adding new projects and property. Please keep Sandy bottom Nature Park open this is the best park in Hampton Roads, the faclity and staff are outstanding. Merge with Newport News. / Eliminate trash service or special pickups- go private. Do not pay board/Commission members, as they volunteered for civic/community service. / Stop the food/beverage breakfasts/snacks/lunches, as people know to eat or bring a snack to get through the day. / Do not pay consultants for what can be done through professional city staff (perhaps it will take longer, but it can be done without additional funds). / Stop sending notices to so many people for every action taken by a board/Commission; if people are interested, they can check the web for notices. / Do not allow City vehicles to be taken home for lunch/dinner breaks during the day--the employee can drive back to City Hall if a break is needed. / Do not allow City vehicles and City-purchased phones to be used by anyone other than emergency staff (Economic Development does not constitute a need for a 24/7 take home vehicle nor for City-purchased phones or phone contracts). / Cut services that only a few use. For example, I’m tired of seeing HRT busses running at night with no one on them. I assume the city subsidizes HRT?? / When parking lots and ditches need cleaning, give the job to community service workers (either volunteers and or those who need it for court purposes). Stop building new stores and buildings we don’t need and put those funds into keeping up and improving what we have already. The services for at risk youth and parents are important; they just need more promotion and perhaps better leaders, people who are more passionate about reforming parents and youth. I believe that the city wastes alot of money trying to be innovative and aquire new buildings and areas as opposed to using those millions of dollars to maintain what already exists in hampton. There have been no raises for city employees for sometime which brings down the moral of workers however there was an aquisition of fort monroe. Architects have been paid to come to the city to see how to revamp what was just recently revamped. The employment rate is rising. Property taxes are dropping and crime is increases. What is the city manager proposing that will benefit all people not just those in the highest tax bracket. The most important thing to me is that no city employee loses his or her job. The city is already staffed minimally, and the level of service received by citizens is very high. With less staffing, services would suffer and citizens may lose the faith they have in Hampton’s government. There will always be people who criticize everything and will focus on the negative no matter what, but I and most people I know think Hampton is well run. / I don’t think we need to concentrate on tourism much. The history associated with this area will, I hope, attract enough people on its own. Instead I think the city should prioritize safety and quality of life for the people who live here, particularly children and their caregivers. All the programs mentioned in this survey are important, but some can be streamlined for greater efficiency. I can drive around potholes, I don’t mind doing without median flowers, I can do without the Sandy bottom Nature Center as long as there are still park rangers, and perhaps people sentenced to community service can clean up the parking lots; you get the idea. / I wish I had more specific suggestions to help with the difficulties you face as you make your decisions, but I hope that stating my priorities has helped somewhat. This is a great place to live and what I’ve seen the city do since I’ve moved here is a big part of that. I look forward to the time when you are deciding what to expand, not what to reduce. Thanks. Take care of priority processes for safety, education, tourism, retail and keep quality employees. Make tough decisions on trade offs. Keep citizens informed. I know it will be a tough job and we are depending on city staff and leaders. I do realize we are in hard times. My fear is that Hampton will spiral downward in terms of vacant buildings, vacant homes, over run landscaping, unkept public areas etc...which will, in turn, bring crime and vandalism to our city. If we keep going in the same downward direction - Hampton will become a city that is truly undesirable. We will have very few people that chose Hampton as a place to build a family and feel safe in the process. I am willing to pay more in taxes (up to $1.10) to support Hampton in becoming the wonderful little city by the water that it can be! This is a tough time for everyone, but Hampton is a wonderful place to live. I would not mind paying more in taxes to keep the services that Hampton offers going during this difficult time, especially the Hampton libraries. They help so many people. Make more jobs and offer more volunteer. I believe that the services to youths should be preserved. It is in the community’s best interest to promote giving them direction during these formative years. I believe that increased taxes are necessary on the city level to maintain necessary services for all citizens. I do not attend the American Theater, but, believe it offers an entertainment option for other citizens. The same is true of thAir & Space Museum and other venues. I support a diversity of options for entertainment and culture. I think it is imperative to continue to fight blight and maintain protective services. On the subject of street lights, there is much new technology currently available, such as LEDs that can be leveraged to reduce the amount of energy consumed by the current street light infrastructure. The city should invest some time to research municipal lighting energy saving options. You could close all libraries on sundays. People only work 4 hours on Sundays. This is done in cities larger than Hampton. The library could open at 12:45-5:15p.m. on Saturdays instead of 8 hours. During the week, Monday - Thursday / open 9:45a.m. - 8:15p.m. Decrease or eliminate things like parades that cause the city more money, because of police presence. Decorating for holiday’s is nice but can it save money Use minimum risk prisoners for services such as cleaning parking lots/ditches/etc. Must preserve youth & family programs. I can not believe that the city of Hampton is thinking of reducing our PARKS where children go and learn and stay out of trouble. INSANE. The other thing is why would you remove after school programs, are you asking for at risk children to have no support, are we asking for a increase in GANG’s in Hampton Roads.

A Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a five-year expenditure plan that addresses the acquisition of property and equipment, new construction and other major improvements to existing public facilities. The first year of the CIP is incorporated into the Manager’s Recommended Budget as the Capital Budget component for the respective year. Each locality establishes its own criteria for capital improvement projects. The criterion established by the City of Hampton is that a capital project must have a total cost in excess of $50,000 and a life expectancy of at least five years, at a minimum. Although the nature and scope of capital improvement projects vary, each project can usually be classified into one of the following Strategic Priority categories: 1. Economic Growth – generating the resources necessary to support the services the community desires and produce quality jobs for our citizens. 2. Educated and Engaged Citizenry – partnering with the Schools System, Hampton University, Thomas Nelson Community College and other formal and informal educational providers to keep, develop and attract a talented citizenry that will have a positive impact on their community and be able to succeed in the global economy.
