A. ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of the Pool Grants for 2017 and the proposed Neighborhood Swimming Pool Grant Program Policy Amendment Suggested Language for the Motion – “I move that we approve the Neighborhood Pool Grants Policy for 2017.” BACKGROUND STATEMENT: The Community Appearance, Pride & Image Committee is requesting that the Neighborhood Commission approve the Neighborhood Swimming Pool Grant Program. If approved, this will be the tenth year that the Commission has supported the program. The six Hampton neighborhood swimming pools (Mallory, Riverdale, Briar- Queen, Northampton, Willow Oaks, and Elizabeth Lake) continue to be valuable assets to our neighborhoods, providing unique social and recreational benefits to Hampton citizens. The 2016 pool grant program resulted in over 7,200 visitors over the 9 days at the 6 participating pools. The proposed policy for 2017 includes the following: 1. Each participating pool is eligible for $4,000 in grant funds to provide 9 Community Pool Preview Days. These preview days are free/open to the public and must be held on June 2nd-4th, Memorial Day Weekend and June 20-25, the first week of summer break. 2. Fundraising Incentive - For each dollar in resources (other than memberships and events supporting the swim team) raised by the pool organization that goes toward the operation of the pool, the Commission will match dollar for dollar up to $1,000 in additional grant funds. This proposed program will continue to focus on only funding the operational and maintenance costs of the neighborhood swimming pools such as equipment, repairs, supplies, staff costs, etc. Participants at the free pool days will be required to abide by all rules and guidelines set forth by the pool to include but not limited to: Hampton residency, adult supervision, safety standards, and outside refreshments. Each pool will be required to log the guest participants on the free swim days, keep record of citizens who utilized the free swim days that generated a membership and submit it with their close-out report at the end of the season. The corresponding set-aside of $35,000 from the Neighborhood Improvement Fund Program will enable the Commission to provide up to $5,000 to each neighborhood swimming pool that participated in previous years of the grant program. NEXT STEPS: If approved, the application will be developed and made available to the neighborhood swimming pools. ADDITIONAL REFERENCE MATERIALS ENCLOSED: Proposed 2017 Neighborhood Pool Policy Amendments COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: The Community Appearance, Pride & Image (CAPI) Committee recommends approval.  Revision 3/3/2016 DRAFT Neighborhood Swimming Pool Grant Program Grant Policies 2017 I. Purpose of the Funds The Neighborhood Swimming Pool Grant Program is intended to: - Increase the number of Hampton citizens that have safe access and exposure to water, - Provide needed support to the neighborhood-based pools as community assets, - Prevent the closure and vacancies of these community assets within the community, and - Encourage partnerships with organizations that work to provide a sense of community and unique place to their surrounding neighborhoods. The primary strategy to accomplish these outcomes is through a partnership with the community pools to offer open pool days to community members. These days provide exposure and help to demonstrate the value of the pools to the larger community. The Neighborhood Pools are strongly encouraged each year to make every effort to - develop creative, innovation and collaborative approaches to addressing the pool’s long term viability and sustainability, - increase the number of pool memberships, - lower operating costs where possible, and - build partnerships with other organizations and businesses. If future funding is available, grant eligibility will be impacted by the neighborhood pool organization’s demonstrated outreach and organization efforts and their ability to become self-sufficient community assets. II. Eligible Applicants Neighborhood Pool Grants are available to pools that serve local neighborhoods (Single family subdivisions) and the surrounding community. Neighborhood pools should be not-for-profit organizations that serve as volunteer organizations within the community. Participation in the Pool Grant Program will require pool organizations to: - Provide open membership for any resident of the City of Hampton. - Pools must agree to be free and open to the public for the weekend (Saturday, Sunday, Monday) of Memorial Day (June 2-4) and the week of June 20 through June 25 (Tuesday through Sunday). o The nine (9) open pool days are a part of a Community Pool Days pool program as agreed upon by participating pools to maximize the opportunities for citizen outreach and marketing of these community assets. o The open pool time must be offered at no charge to Hampton citizens on the days indicated above. All minors under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. o Pools must keep a log of community guest participants on these days for evaluation purposes of the program and submit a copy of this log at the grant closeout. o In the case of inclement weather, no make-up days will be required but the pool operator must contact the grant administrator to inform them of the closing. o Funding will be provided after June 25. If a pool chooses to withdraw from the program at any time during the Community Pool Days program, they will forfeit all grant funding. - Meet or exceed all Health Department regulations as demonstrated by a submitted copy of their 2017 approved health permit - Submit an insurance certificate listing the City of Hampton as additional insured with, at least, minimal coverage.  Revision 3/3/2016 DRAFT III. Eligible Funding Neighborhood pools that participate in the Community Pool Days program and meet all eligibility requirements and additional grant funds requirements are eligible to receive up to $5,000 in grant funds. a. Use of funds: Neighborhood Swimming Pool Grant funds must be expended on pool operational costs or improvements such as staffing, equipment, supplies, repairs, training, etc. with written proof provided at grant close out. b. Funding Availability: Neighborhood pools may receive only one (1) Neighborhood Swimming Pool Grant per calendar year. Funding in one year does not guarantee funding in future years. c. Primary Grant Funds: Primary grant funds of $4,000 will be provided to the pools that participated in the Community Pool Days program after approval of their application and receipt of sign written agreements. d. Additional Grant Funds: Each pool will be eligible for up to $1,000 in additional funding as a dollar for dollar match based on demonstrated fundraising efforts. For example, if a pool organization raises $800 through three fundraising events and a local business donates $100 of pool chemical supplies, the pool would receive $900 in matching funds from the Neighborhood Commission. All additional grant funds will be provided after adequate fundraising documentation is submitted before or on November 1, 2017. Funds derived from pool memberships or events to support the swim team do not constitute demonstrated fundraising for the purposes of the additional grant funding. Demonstrated fundraising may include, but is not limited to, a financial statement of cash donations, assessment of donated materials, or equipment in support of the pool infrastructure. e. Grant Due Dates: Completed applications will be accepted no later than 4:30 PM April 17, 2017. Completed closeout reports will be due no later than 4:30 PM on November 1, 2017. IV. Reporting Requirements Close out reports must be submitted no later than November 1, 2017 and must demonstrate what the grant funds were expended on and that other resources (memberships, fundraising, material donations, discounts) generated by the pools were generated to fund the operation of the pool (Funds to support the swim teams do not qualify). Each pool must provide: - A copy of the Community Pool Days sign in sheets and a record of any memberships generated from the Community Pool Days, - A narrative summarizing the results of outreach and self-sustainability efforts must be provided with the closeout report, - Documentation of operating expenses (i.e. receipts, invoices, bills) and fundraising results (i.e. itemized summary, closeout budget) totaling at least the amount of grant funds. Failure to provide this information will impact the organization’s eligibility for future Neighborhood Swimming Pool Grant funding.  MEETING DATE: March 13, 2017 HAMPTON NEIGHBORHOOD COMMISSION AGENDA REVIEW Preparer: J.Bryson Reviewer: J.

B ACTION REQUESTED: N/A BACKGROUND STATEMENT: The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a 5 year plan that directs the spending priorities in the City for physical projects and public facility maintenance needs. Each year the City updates the plan to reflect the current revenues and opportunities within the community. Similar to last year, community feedback will be solicited through conversations with key boards and commissions. The Budget Director will present a brief overview of the purpose of the CIP, and its role in implementing strategic initiatives and infrastructure maintenance/ improvements. Commissioners will be given the opportunity to ask questions and provide input on key project priorities that are important for the future of neighborhoods.

A: At any one time, there is a minimum of 10-12 people. But total, it’s a lot of employees because they fill shifts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Also, in emergency conditions, we bring in extra people because the call volume goes up. The cost also includes some upgraded systems that we plan to put in place when the move happens. We are timing the relocation to be in sync with the upgraded systems so we don’t have to do it twice; we can just put the upgrades in the new facility and then move. Q: You are planning to have the building rated for a Category 3. Why not rate the building for a Category 5 hurricane? A: It’s actually much more expensive. We weighed the extra expense versus the likelihood of the event. Right now, with our geography, we have a lot of protection from the coastline to the south. Storms generally weaken before they get to us. Q: You also mention moving the Public Works buildings because of flooding. Does that mean there isn’t another use for that land on Armistead Avenue? A: There are many reasons to move the facility. Frankly, the Bright’s Creek and Public Works properties look a bit blighted because of their age and industrial usage. You can see that area from the interstate, as a view of our city. We would like to clean up the area and relocate the public works facility to another site we own in Hampton. A full redevelopment of the current public works site can be done in a way that mitigates flooding on the property and brings additional private development downtown. Coupled with the rest of the Bright’s Creek area, freeing up this property would provide a cohesive area for development from the interstate to downtown, and begin to tie downtown to the Coliseum Central area. Q: I was kind of surprised that the sports tourism facility didn’t rank out higher. It’s really the only new building that will bring in new people, whereas the others are mostly redevelopment. This weekend, my family was eating out after church and Moe’s was absolutely packed from a volleyball tournament at Boo Williams. It brings in so many people from other areas, and they bring parents, who all go out to eat and spend money. This is the one that would bring in money -- directly and indirectly -- to the city, whereas the others have a lot of time down the road before they make a difference. A: People have different feelings about it. All of those factors are things the Council will look at when they make a final decision. It's not everybody’s top priority, and some people in the community have not been in favor of it. Full disclosure: I’m the city manager and I am also a parent of a swimmer, and I know that people spend a lot of money on their children's sports and events. That is part of the thought process. We have seen how well basketball and volleyball have done here, and we wanted another facility to add to our Sports Tourism. All documents and presentations are posted online at: All of the information from the various input sessions will be collected and posted at http://hampton.gov/ivalue, which you can also get to from http://hampton.gov/budget. From Feb. 21 general forum, Kecoughtan High School Q: This is a very interesting presentation about the budget process. Will it be available somewhere? A: It is posted online, though the document doesn’t have all the comments from the live presentation. The direct link is: http://hampton.gov/DocumentCenter/View/15124. All of the information from the various input sessions will be collected and posted at http://hampton.gov/ivalue, which you can also get to from http://hampton.gov/budget. Q: Explain the retail-time crime center. A: This is a new center we are adding to help the police by providing additional eyes in real time. We have a variety of types of cameras already on public streets, such as the VDOT traffic information systems. We can tap into those feeds to see what is going on. For example, if there is a crime, we usually dispatch officers to the scene. However, if we can see where the suspect’s vehicle is headed using these cameras, we can send an officer out to where the suspect is headed, rather than where he came from. All of our cameras are located in public spaces. We are not intending to violate anyone’s privacy. We just want to tie together what we already have and use it more effectively. Q: Is tourism a consideration for helping to increase revenues? A: That is a part of our strategy. Tourists spend more money than they use in city services while they visit. As a city, we are working to increase that by improving the quality of our hotels, boosting youth sports tourism and promoting/supporting our attractions. Youth sports has been shown to be more recession-proof than some other kinds of tourism, because parents will make other sacrifices for their children. Q: Virginia was one of the states that added an online sales tax. How does it work now? A: If the retailer has an operation in the state of Virginia, there is tax money that comes back. For example, if you order from Amazon or someplace with a physical presence in Virginia, the tax money comes back to the state. The state is charged with distributing the local share back to the locality. The portion of the sales tax for schools is distributed based on a state formula and the portion distributed to the City is based on the 1% paid by our residents. If the retailer doesn’t have a location in the state, such as Zappo’s, there is no tax collected or coming back to the state. A change in that process would have to be made on the federal level. Q: Is there a federal infusion of dollars to help the city with costs, especially with the schools? A: The federal government doesn't send much money to Hampton. We get some community development block grant money, and schools get some for impact aid (to offset property tax revenues for students who live on federal bases) and special education. There’s not a lot of discretionary money at all. Q: Could the federal government be encouraged to put more money here, especially to help veterans and retirees, and the impact of property tax lost from the state amendment to help disabled veterans? A: We are trying to get additional facilities here. We put in a bid for a state retirement home for veterans. That’s really more to help our veterans than for the economy, since it wouldn’t be taxable property. We are also trying to get more federal spending here, for example, NASA Langley, Langley Air Force Base and the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, have room to grow and are centrally located. We also support additional funding for the Fort Monroe National Monument. When there is another round of BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure), we believe that Langley is poised to grow and absorb more operations. We have sought more money for education, especially in special education. The federal government pays very little of the costs of the rules and regulations they imposed. Basically, though, the federal government is running at a deficit each year. They are looking to cut, not add, expenses. That doesn't mean we give up; we continue to work with the people who represent us in Washington. Q: Is there an impact on Hampton from the change in federal immigration policy? A: The immigration policy changes at the federal level should not have a direct impact on Hampton. In the past, there has been an impact on the regional jail that Hampton participates in with other localities in the region because they would house inmates from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency. ###
