City Manager’s Update

The City is asking residents to provide feedback on the

Comprehensive Plan, Fire Department’s services and residential

and roadway flooding in the northwest part of Virginia Beach.

• The Comprehensive Plan is due for an

update and Planning and Community Development wants to

know what City improvements residents would like to see in the

future. A survey is open to get citizen feedback that will be used to

shape the City’s Comprehensive Plan and strategic planning for

other City services that shape where we live, work, shop and play.

The plan is revised every five years to reflect the values and vision

of the community as it grows and develops. It is seen as a guide to

ensure that the community’s desired future is realized as decisions are made that impact areas

like transportation, utilities, land use, recreation and housing. The survey can be found online

at publicinput.com/VBCompPlan and is open until Wednesday, Nov. 27. As of Thursday,

Nov. 21, 2,736 people have participated in the survey.

• As part of its continuous improvement process, the Virginia Beach Fire

Department is seeking public input about how people in the community perceive its

services. Information citizens provide will be considered in development of the department’s

strategic business plan and to pursue departmental accreditation. The survey is available

online at publicinput.com/VBFDSurvey and will be open until Saturday, Nov. 30. As of Nov.

21, 1,086 people have participated in the survey. For more

information about the Fire Department, visit VBgov.com/fire.

• For residents who live

near Lake Bradford and Chubb Lake, the Department of

Public Works is asking for input on repetitive residential and

roadway flooding within the area adjacent to Joint

Expeditionary Base (JEB) Little Creek, Chesapeake Beach,

Northampton Boulevard and Shore Drive. Your opinions and

suggestions will greatly assist in developing a storm water

drainage improvement program that will address flooding in areas that include, but are not

limited to Bradford Acres, Chesapeake Beach, Church Point, Hermitage Elementary, Lake

Shores, Northampton Boulevard, North Beach, Pleasure House Road, Shore Drive and

Thoroughgood. The survey is open until Thursday, Dec. 12 online at publicinput.com/6003.

As of Nov. 21, 31 people have participated in the survey. For more info about this project,

visit VBgov.com/LakeBradford.

Homeless Services at the Housing Resource

Center implemented new business hours this

week. Walk-ins and phone calls for triage

and screening will be available Mondays,

Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 8

a.m. to noon., and closed on Wednesdays for staff training and case management. All other

service hours at the Housing Resource Center will remain unchanged. People experiencing

homelessness or a housing crisis will still be able to call the Regional Housing Crisis Hotline at

(757) 227-5932.

Virginia Beach Housing & Neighborhood Preservation’s Homeless Services division

assesses the service needs of people experiencing homelessness or a housing crisis and provides

referrals to community resources. Homeless and at-risk families and individuals may also receive

help with locating housing, family and landlord mediation and other services to prevent and end

their homelessness. Since the Housing Resource Center opened for services on Sept. 21, 2018,

through Aug. 31, 501 people have been housed at the center and within the community, and 203

people have been prevented or diverted from experiencing homelessness. For more info, call the

Housing Resource Center at (757) 385-5167 or visit VBgov.com/housing-resource-center.

The 2020 Water Awareness Calendars are in! Published annually by the Department of

Public Utilities, the calendars feature illustrations by Virginia Beach elementary school students

showing what they do to use water wisely. The calendar provides a daily reminder of how to

conserve water and include other relevant messages such

as backflow prevention and proper grease disposal.

The calendar illustrations were chosen in a contest held

earlier this year. Entries were judged by Public Utilities

staff based upon best expression of theme, picture

design, creativity and artistic skill.

The colorful calendars are free and have been distributed

to elementary schools. They are also available at

Virginia Beach public libraries and recreation centers.

Virginia Beach improved its Municipal Equality

The 2019 MEI is the seventh annual edition and rates a total of 506 cities. It assesses each city on

students who will receive police powers from their

jurisdictions. In addition to successfully completing the 10-

week course, Chief Pureza took the “Top Gun” award while

qualifying on the pistol range.

Virginia Beach Police Department Sergeants Jen

Johannesen and Patrick Kane recently completed the FBI-

NAA Virginia Chapter’s First Line Supervisor School. FBI

instructors as well as accredited professional instructors from

other organizations shared their expertise on methods and

techniques to be utilized in effective leadership. The week-long

training, held at the VA State Police Academy in Richmond,

provided the sergeants with a practical basic supervision course,

covering topics considered essential for law enforcement patrol

supervisors.

Lieutenant Will Gervin recently graduated from the

Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police’s 45th session of

the Professional Executive Leadership School (PELS)

program, an intensive three-week leadership education

program conducted in cooperation with the University of

Richmond. PELS is designed for individuals who currently

serve in executive level positions within their organization to

acquaint them with best practices in leadership, challenge

them to reflect upon their own leadership competency, and

examine ways of achieving both personal and professional

growth. Lt. Gervin was also selected by his class to serve as

spokesperson and delivered the graduation address.

The Virginia Beach Arts &

Humanities Commission selected

Meredith and Brother Rutter to

receive the 2019 Champion for the

Arts Award. As highly respected

philanthropists, arts administrators,

board members and advocates for art

and education, Meredith and Brother

Rutter have been ardent supporters of the arts in Virginia Beach and throughout Hampton Roads

for many years. Through their foundation and volunteer work,

especially with the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art, they

have cultivated and strengthened the cultural life of our region

beyond measure.

The award was presented to Meredith and Brother Rutter at a

special reception co-hosted by the Virginia Beach Arts &

Humanities Commission and Virginia MOCA on Nov. 18.

Award recipients’ names have been etched in brick and will be

installed in the Champion for the Arts path in front of the Sandler

Center for the Performing Arts in Virginia Beach.

The National Theatre for Children’s ‘Showdown at Dry Gulch’ tour kicked off on Monday,

Oct. 21. Funded by the Department of Public Utilities, this performance promotes the

conservation, protection, and appreciation of our water resources among younger students. It

centers around Carrie Gooper, a sheriff who must convince the notorious Dawn the Con not to

waste water in order to save the town from a water shortage. Throughout the show, students learn

about the uses of water, the importance of water, ways to conserve water, and how to use drains

properly. By the end, Sheriff Gooper

teaches Dawn the Con and the student

audience that water is a very valuable

resource, and they should treat it as such.

The tour wrapped up on Nov. 8 and

included performances at 30 Virginia

Beach elementary schools and reached

nearly 11,000 students.
