It’s a legal question expected to be handled in court, primarily because of different interpretations of Chesapeake’s city charter — seemingly the only charter for a major Hampton Roads city that puts the city in this novel position.

Multiple council members are challenging mayors this November elections in surrounding cities, like Virginia Beach and Portsmouth. Yet Chesapeake finds itself in this situation as it’s the only Hampton Roads city with a provision in the city charter that requires council members to formally resign from their council seat during their mayoral election bid instead of after. Carey’s council term is set to end Dec. 31. Chesapeake’s charter provision calls for a council resignation by June 30, though it was established when Chesapeake held city elections in May.

The ongoing legal question has spurred division among council members, some of whom are practicing a boycott of certain city business they don’t believe Carey should be part of, like closed sessions, as a result.

At a July 23 meeting, some residents said Carey was being penalized for an oversight issue in the charter, and called for council to make the appropriate changes in lieu of legal action. But that’s challenging in a Dillon’s Rule state like Virginia, where the General Assembly determines the scope of local governments’ power. That means when a city needs to update its charter, state legislators are the ones who can make it happen.

“No two local government situations are alike, and they’re often quite obscure provisions that are at issue,” said Richard Schragger, a law professor at the University of Virginia.

He added that in Chesapeake’s case, it can be tricky because even if the dates should have been changed, the charter also clearly states June 30.

“So then the question becomes, if there’s ambiguities in the interpretation of that provision, who makes that decision? And generally we end up in courts when that’s the case,” Schragger said.

For most Hampton Roads cities, council members who declare candidacy in a mayor’s race must formally resign their council position following the election or upon the start of the newly elected mayor’s term, according to the respective city charters. That includes Norfolk, Hampton, Suffolk and Virginia Beach.

In Virginia Beach, Councilman Chris Taylor, representing District 8, has joined a crowded field to challenge the sitting mayor. To do so, Taylor had to file a formal resignation letter effective after the election since his council term spans until 2026, which will necessitate a special election. His resignation will take effect Dec. 31, regardless of whether he wins or loses the mayoral race.

Sabrina Wooten is another Virginia Beach council member challenging the mayor, but her term ends at the end of the year.

Portsmouth’s charter lacks any resign-to-run requirement. The current vice mayor, Lisa Lucas-Burke, is challenging sitting Mayor Shannon Glover. There is no apparent provision in Newport News’ charter that addresses resign-to-rule stipulations, but a process for filling vacancies is included.

General Assembly action in 2021 shifted Chesapeake’s elections from May to November, but the accompanying provision for resignation was not altered, according to an opinion issued in May by Republican Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares. His opinion concluded that Carey was required to step down by June 30.

In March, Carey declared a bid to challenge Mayor Rick West. On July 9, a majority of council members directed the city attorney’s office to file a writ of mandamus with the Circuit Court asking a judge to compel Carey to resign from his position as he seeks election as mayor.

While it’s still unclear when the city will formally file the petition in Circuit Court, Carey said he was officially served last week by the city with a notice of intent to file. City Attorney Catherine Lindley previously said a “reasonable time” must lapse before filing with Circuit Court, though she has declined to specify what that timeframe will be.

Carey has previously called the move political and unethical.

“Citizens realize how foolish this endeavor is for council to waste taxpayer dollars to attack a political opponent,” he said in a phone interview Monday.

Carey was first elected to City Council in May 2020. He assumed his role July 1 when Chesapeake still held local elections in May instead of November. In Miyares’ opinion, he stated that though resignation would have the effect of shortening Carey’s term, it’s “due to his voluntary decision to seek election to the office of mayor, as was the case prior to the 2021 amendments for council members seeking to become mayor in middle of their otherwise four-year term.”

Around a dozen residents spoke at a July 23 meeting, mostly expressing frustration with division among council and the city money and resources that will be dedicated to litigating the issue. Others said he should stay in his seat through the end of his current term.

Resident Nancy Pettigrew and George Reed of the New Chesapeake Men for Progress argued that the intent of the charter change law wasn’t to result in a monthslong vacancy when a council member runs for mayor.

“Forcing Councilman Carey off the council at this point in the year will hamper the work that the City Council does,” Pettigrew said. “And in fact, we are already seeing that happen.”

Reed cited a summary document about the 2021 law when it was passed, which states the terms of mayor, council and school board members should not be shortened as a result of shifting elections to November. It also states all those members elected at a May general election and whose terms end as of June 30 “shall continue in office until their successors have been elected at the November general election and have been qualified to serve.”

Another election-related bill passed that year amended that portion of state code and the clause Reed cited was removed.

“We ought to have a writ of mandamus to get our city attorney to configure our charter to meet the state law,” Reed said. “I say to you there must be a different agenda. You should explain that agenda to the public. Because it’s certainly not running good governance with transparency and accountability.”

In June, the City Council approved a plan to divide the city into 51 zones and allow only 1% of homes in each zone to operate as short-term rentals. The plan also required that rentals be 500 feet apart unless they are side-by-side. However, many residents felt the proposal was too restrictive.

To address some of the concerns, City Council wanted to consider creating a new use called a “homestay rental” that only applies to residents who remain in their homes while renting a single room. Earlier this month, the Planning Commission recommended moving forward with creating that use.

Zoning Administrator Allison Jackura explained that under the proposal, homestay rentals are a separate category from short-term rentals and would not be subject to the density and buffer requirements of a short-term rental, where residents make their entire homes available for rent.

She said homestays apply for guests living in a home for 30 days or less. They would be allowed in single-family dwellings.

The proposed rules outline that a homestay rental operator must live in the home as their primary residence and reside there during all guests’ stays. The operator also has to maintain and provide proof of residency within one day of the zoning administrator requesting it.

No events, such as weddings, reunions or birthday parties, would be allowed with homestay rentals.  Furthermore, the operator — designated as a “responsible local person” would be required to provide contact information for the city website in case of any issues, respond within one hour after being called by the city for any nuisance complaint and be on-site at all times between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. when overnight lodgers are present.

“We think that somebody living there has a vested interest in kind of making sure that there aren’t any nuisances,” Jackura said. “And we tend to see those in those overnight hours — that 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. — so we think having that person be there, staying there, would help to reduce that.”

Under the proposal, homestay rentals would require a Zoning Administrator Permit.

Jackura said the city does not have an exact number of homestay rentals currently operating. She said around 94 rentals currently advertise less than a whole home for rent, though that doesn’t indicate the owner is occupying the property.

The commission largely supported the proposal, but chair Michael Harris voted against an ordinance outlining the “standards of uses” for homestay rentals. He said in an interview that his objection was over requiring the homeowner to remain on the property between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., as he felt the rule was too restrictive.

The commission is also recommending the City Council reduce the required buffer between short-term rentals from 500 feet to 300 feet. Commission member Tracy Brooks was the only one to vote against the matter during the July 18 meeting. She could not be reached for comment Monday to clarify her vote.

At the meeting, a few Hampton residents voiced concerns about the rules the City Council adopted last month limiting the density of short-term rentals. One woman said many Hampton residents will no longer be able to rely on the retirement income they were planning to earn through short-term rentals.

Hampton City Council is expected to vote on the changes during its Aug. 14 meeting. If approved, these changes will go into effect on Sept. 1.

Nichelle Stone, who was appointed last year to fill a vacated seat until the special election, had originally filed to complete the term. She was the only candidate. But Stone has vacated her seat and withdrawn from the race, leaving it open.

“I was very honored to be appointed,” Stone said in an interview on Monday. But she said she had to leave the position and withdraw from the race to spend more time with her family because of unexpected personal matters.

The special election will be held with the general election Nov. 5. Individuals interested in running must live and be registered to vote in the Ward 5 District. If no candidate files by the deadline, the seat will be listed on the ballot with a write-in option.

The winning candidate will serve the remainder of the unexpired termthrough the end of 2026.

Stone was appointed in November after Lauren Campsen resigned because of health reasons.

Virginia Beach National Golf Club off Princess Anne Road will soon undergo a first wave of repairs at a cost of $1.4 million. The Virginia Beach Development Authority, which leases the property from the city, greenlighted the work at its July 9 meeting.

According to a city audit, several lakes on the property are in “degraded” condition and need to be dredged and cleaned. And the clubhouse has rotting eaves and fascia board along the roofline; there’s mold and rotting baseboards in the clubhouse restaurant; and the ceiling is deteriorating due to leaks.

“It’s a beautiful golf course, but the building is a 23-year-old building,” City Auditor Lyndon Remias said in October when he presented the audit to the Virginia Beach Development Authority, a city agency tasked with expanding the tax base by attracting business investment. “It’s just like your house. You can have a beautiful lawn, but your roof is falling apart, your trim is rotting, and the AC’s out. Basically, that’s what is happening at the building.”

The golf course fell to the wayside when a longtime economic development employee responsible for managing the development authority’s assets left the city in 2019, Remias said.

“There was no one who picked up the ball and ran with it,” development authority chair Lisa Murphy said at the meeting last fall.

The city has since hired Pam Witham, a planner in the department, to oversee the authority’s assets, which include more than two dozen properties across the city.

“We’re going to move forward and correct the issues that need to be taken care of,” Witham said by phone this week.

The audit, available at virginiabeach.gov, also revealed discrepancies in the authority’s procurement procedures for previous improvement projects at the course.

Virginia Beach Golf Club LLC., a private company, manages the course and makes monthly payments to the authority based on a percentage of revenues generated to help fund capital improvements. In addition, the company annually remits 25% of the net income generated by the golf course in excess of $100,000.

In 2023, Virginia Beach National had a net income, or profit, of $740,000. Heron Ridge Golf Club, which is leased from the Development Authority by the same private entity, had $669,000 in profit, according to the city.

The scope of the October audit was from fiscal year 2021 through fiscal year 2023 and included policies, processes, and procedures in place at the time of the audit. It was the first time Remias’ office has audited the golf course.

The auditor’s report noted that semi-annual inspections by the city or the authority as outlined in the management agreement were not being conducted. Also, approvals for previous improvement projects were made after completion rather than before and that city procurement procedures weren’t properly followed.

Over the past several months, the authority has paid more than $100,000 in facility assessments and inspections in preparation of fixing the issues.

Witham told authority members at their July 9 meeting that $1.9 million is needed for all the structural repairs to buildings on the golf course property, and it will cost an additional $5.7 million to bring all 11 lakes up to the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality’s standards.

The facility spans over 300 acres of land and consists of an 18-hole golf course designed by Pete Dye and Curtis Strange, practice areas and a clubhouse which includes a full-service restaurant.

Remias also said annual inspections of the lakes at Virginia Beach National performed by Public Works had not been provided to the authority as they should’ve been. Public Works has deemed some of the lakes are in “serious” and “degraded” condition.

Murphy formed an asset management committee in October to help prioritize the golf course repairs.

“They were tasked with viewing the whole report with staff and talking to the operator as far as what the report showed and helping to prioritize the repairs based on recommendations,” Witham said.

The authority agreed to start with the clubhouse, providing roughly $400,000 to replace the roof and gutters and another $200,000 for new air-conditioning systems. Additional money has been set aside for contingencies because of moisture damage, according to Witham. Also, a lake near the back of the property will be improved at a cost of roughly $520,000, she said.

“The other items that were identified, they’re going to be repaired as funding becomes available,” Witham said Wednesday.

The authority’s current balance for capital repairs at the golf course is $2.1 million, Witham said, but money from the authority’s previous sale of land in Corporate Landing Business Park and the Innovation Park will fund the first wave of the work.

Virginia Beach National Golf Club, formerly Tournament Players Club of Virginia Beach, opened on a former bean field in 1999 with the hope of making the city a renowned golf destination. The city paid $3.5 million to help build the $15 million course, according to The Virginian-Pilot archives.

But the course underperformed, and Virginia Beach bought it for roughly $4.5 million in 2006 to maintain control of the land.

City Manager Mary Bunting and Col. Sonny Avichal, commander of the Army Corps of Engineers Norfolk District, signed the agreement which outlines the cost-sharing structure of the 3-year Peninsula Coastal Storm Risk Management Feasibility Study. The Army Corps of Engineers received $3 million in federal appropriations to fund the study, according to a city news release.

“Currently, we have no financial obligation because we got 100% funding — if the scope or needs expand, we would have to pay 50/50 for our part,” Bunting wrote in an email.

In the release, Bunting described the signing of the agreement as “historic” and said it set a precedent for future joint endeavors.

“Water does not respect municipal boundaries, and this study will provide a holistic look at flood risks for the Peninsula,” she said.

Hampton announced the planned collaboration in January. The city said the study will involve a comprehensive investigation of coastal storm risks and risk management solutions for the Peninsula, potentially including Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson and Williamsburg, as well James City and York counties.

In the event the scope of the project expands, Bunting said other localities would be expected to pay a 50% share for work in their communities.

Norfolk worked with the Army Corps of Engineers on a similar Storm Risk Management Feasibility Study several years ago. That work preceded Norfolk’s approval of a $2.6 billion flood mitigation plan that includes construction of a floodwall downtown.

Mayor Donnie Tuck spoke of the impending camera fees during his final town hall meeting Thursday at the American Theatre.

The red-light cameras are meant to deter drivers from clogging city streets when traffic from the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel and Interstate 64 backs up. Tuck said these will become active in early August, potentially as soon as Thursday. The first red-light cameras expected to go live include two on Mallory Street — one near Segar Street and one on the other side of the bridge — and one at the intersection of Settlers Landing Road and William R. Harvey Way.

The cameras will monitor drivers running a red light and turning right on red when prohibited. Public Works Director Jason Mitchell previously laid out a plan to direct traffic along Settlers Landing Road, which connects downtown to I-64, into three lanes.

In the left lane, traffic would travel toward Phoebus and I-64 West. In the right lane, traffic would turn right onto the Hampton University campus or Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

During most hours of the day, the middle lane would allow traffic onto the I-64 East ramp; however, during the most busy traffic hours of 3-6 p.m., the light would remain red as a deterrent for drivers looking to hop on and off the interstate to skirt traffic.

Tuck said there will be a 30-day warning period once the cameras go live. Afterward, drivers found guilty of crossing a red light based on video evidence would receive a $50 fine. However, a conviction will not result in any points being added to the person’s driving record.

There also soon will be consequences for those caught speeding through school zones, designated with a posted speed limit of 25 mph with flashing warning signs to indicate that children and pedestrians are actively crossing roadways. Those who go 10 mph or more over the speed limit will face an up to $100 fine.

The city is establishing a year-long pilot program that will install speed cameras at 12 locations before the beginning of the school year, which starts Aug. 26.

According to Mitchell, the 12 locations are Big Bethel High School, Hampton High School, Hunter B. Andrews Pre-K, Jones Magnet Middle School, Kecoughtan High School, Lindsay Middle School, Machen Elementary School, Mary W. Jackson Elementary School, Thomas Eaton Middle School, Aberdeen Elementary School, Barron Elementary School and William Mason Cooper Elementary School.

The city also has three alternate locations — Alfred S. Forrest Elementary School, Samuel P. Langley Elementary School, and Mary T Christian Elementary School — that may be used if it runs into any significant issues during the deployment process.

A law enforcement officer will review and affirm all speeding violations issued through technology, and a citation will be processed and mailed to the vehicle owner.

While the pilot program is slated to last a year, the city has budgeted enough money — $3.4 million — to possibly expand the speed cameras to all 34 school zones. Because revenue from violations are expected to offset the cost of the cameras, the program is expected to pay for itself.

Mitchell said there will be a 30-day warning period from when the first school cameras go live before the city enforces fines. Mitchell said the goal is to have as many of the initial 12 cameras ready by the opening of the school year, although he said it’s likely that only seven may be.

During the town hall, many residents raised concerns about speeding in other parts of the city — including several residential neighborhoods — and asked if the city could implement speed cameras beyond school zones.

City Manager Mary Bunting said the city only has the authority to put speed cameras in school and work zones, as the state legislature allows. However, she said when the city prepares its legislative priorities to send to the General Assembly, it could consider requesting to expand the use of speed cameras. Bunting said speed cameras would help deter drivers from going far over the speed limit, and would allow police officers to focus on more violent crime.

Rigney put in his notice of resignation on Wednesday, city spokesperson Tiffany Russell confirmed in an email. Rigney was hired by the city in March 2023 and had been director of economic development since February.

Deputy City Manager Amanda Jarratt is serving in the interim role now, and a national search will occur for a replacement, Russell said.

It’s unclear why Rigney resigned.

“Details are not available to the public as it is a personnel matter under the City’s HR policy,” Russell wrote in the email.

Vice Mayor Rosemary Wilson on Friday said she was aware of Rigney’s resignation but wouldn’t comment on why.

Rigney, 68, replaced Taylor Adams, who left for another job in 2023. Before coming to Virginia Beach, Rigney worked in economic development for several Hampton Roads cities, including Hampton, Norfolk and Portsmouth.

Rigney could not be reached Friday.

The Sheriff’s Office launched a new initiative to help incarcerated individuals leaving jail reintegrate into the community. It’s called the Sheriff’s Transition and Reentry Center — the STAR Center — and will connect people with services offered by government organizations and community partners.

The center at 1320 La Salle Ave. will be a one-stop shop where people recently released from jail or prison can get help with employment, housing, education and obtaining identification. The center serves Hampton residents released from the Hampton Community Corrections Center (within 24 hours of release), local area jails and state prisons (within 30 days of release).

Lt. Bionca Moore said the transition from jail to community “can be a challenging one.”

“Many of our returning citizens either don’t know what resources are available to them, where they can get them, or have the means to travel around to get to all these multiple locations,” Moore said. “Without these crucial resources, many of our offenders have a greater chance of relapsing back into criminal behavior.”

A U.S. Department of Justice overview of recidivism rates in 24 states revealed that 82% of individuals released from state prisons were arrested at least once during the 10 years following release.

Virginia’s recidivism rate three years after release is 20.6%, as reported by the Department of Corrections. Citing analysis from author Mirlinda Ndrecka, Moore said studies show reentry programs reduce that, on average, by 6% — though the reduction can be greater when programs assist people during and after incarceration.

Bowden, a longtime proponent of programming that reduces recidivism, said the STAR Center evaluates participants during incarceration or upon release to determine their immediate needs and what services are available to address those needs.

The center also includes classrooms where former inmates receive training in areas such as job or life skills or parenting classes.

While the center will hire two full-time staff members, it will also utilize the help of numerous local organizations and agencies:

• Community-based organizations will help provide participants clothing, food, education and connect them with work readiness and family reunification programs.
• The Hampton-Newport News Community Services Board will coordinate mental health, developmental, or substance abuse services for participants.
• The Department of Motor Vehicles will help participants apply for identification cards and renew or replace driver’s licenses.
• Hampton Roads Community Action Program will provide one-on-one job coaching and help connect participants with local employers. 
• The Virginia Community Action Re-Entry System provides career counseling, family counseling, financial referrals, educational workshops and job readiness workshops.

Bowden said recidivism is a drain on law enforcement resources, overwhelms the court system and correctional systems and drains taxpayers’ dollars —  money she said would be better utilized on rehabilitation and prevention programs.

Moore also cited a 2020 study showing offenders who remained engaged for at least 90 days in post-release services in the community were almost 50% less likely to be arrested within 2 years of their release compared with offenders who only received pre-release services.

Hampton councilman Steve Brown asked people at the opening ceremony to imagine being incarcerated for several years and coming back into the community with no support, friends, family, job or opportunities to thrive. He noted that many long-term inmates, upon release, might not be accustomed to the technological advances in the years since they have been behind bars. He said the reentry program “enables people to gain hope.”

Bowden said the center’s opening fulfills a longtime dream of hers to address gaps in service and help former inmates return to a life of stability. While the program initially will only help Hampton inmates, she hopes to eventually expand services beyond the city.

The 30-day grace period for the first set of new cameras ended Monday, and drivers who run past red lights at three intersections will face $50 penalties. Those include Twin Pines and Towne Point roads, Frederick Boulevard and Turnpike Road, and Victory Boulevard and Greenwood Drive.

Another six cameras will be activated later at these intersections:

• Victory Boulevard and George Washington Highway.
• Frederick and Airline boulevards.
• Airline and Victory boulevards.
• Portsmouth and Airline boulevards.
• Portsmouth Boulevard and Elmhurst Lane.
• W High Street and Cedar Lane.

Police Chief Stephen Jenkins told City Council members in Tuesday’s work session that state law limits the maximum number of red-light cameras, and Portsmouth can have up to nine. Intersections were selected based on speed zone studies, accident history and driving behavior from test cameras used to help determine the best locations, he said.

The chief also said in light of legal challenges playing out in surrounding jurisdictions for speed cameras, his department is working to recreate citations to ensure they’re the same official Virginia uniform summons that would be issued for other violations.

Citations include videos and can be contested in court. Violations are issued to vehicles, not necessarily drivers, Jenkins said.

“The goal here is to correct people’s behavior,” he said.

The new red-light cameras come months after police began enforcing more than a dozen school speed zone cameras across the city. Any excess revenue received from speed camera citations are intended for police and local schools.

As of May, the city has netted nearly $335,000 from speeding cameras since enforcement began in January, which amounts to about 40% of the overall revenue received from citations. The remaining share, about $475,000, goes to Altumint, the vendor that installed and maintains the equipment.

City Council expects to discuss revenue allocations in September.

Virginia Beach Housing & Neighborhood Preservation is currently collecting information online from organizations that could make land they own available for the development of affordable housing.

“We have heard from churches over the years that have brought this up that they’d like to be part of the solution,” said Sharon Shoff, the city’s housing finance coordinator. “The first thing we want to know is who is really interested in doing something about affordable housing with their land.”

One in three Virginia Beach households (about 59,000) are housing cost-burdened, which means they pay 30% or more of their income on their total housing costs, according to a recent city housing study. Increased competition in the housing market is making it harder for first-time and moderate-income buyers to purchase homes, and for many renters — especially seniors who live alone — to find quality, affordable units, according to the city.

“We have significant housing affordability challenges, and there’s just demand for more options for low-income renters,” Shoff said.

After gathering information from area nonprofits, city staff will consider the location, the amount of land available and the current zoning of each property. The city can provide resources to help nonprofit organizations interested in developing their land for affordable housing, Shoff said.

“The city would not be purchasing the land,” she said. “It’s really about them taking the next step.”

Virginia Beach has more than 200 churches, according to the city.

Several state groups are pushing for legislation that would cut through some of the red tape that religious institutions face if they want to offer affordable housing on land they own. A bill introduced this year in the Virginia General Assembly session that would streamline the process for faith communities to build affordable housing on their land was referred to a subcommittee and continued until next year.

About 12 religious organizations in Virginia have built affordable housing on their land, according to Sheila Herlihy Hennessee, an organizer with Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy.

“It’s really exciting when government works with faith communities because so often the process is so confusing and so expensive the good intentions get lost along the way,” Hennessee said.

Virginia Beach recently updated its housing study to analyze the current housing market and identify strategies to address housing needs. In May, the City Council directed the city manager to advance discussions with the Virginia Beach Development Authority to fund new, large-scale, mixed-use development projects; design a housing education campaign with community engagement; and research opportunities to simplify the permitting and review process.

Permanent affordable housing has not yet been built on a religious organization’s property in Virginia Beach, according to the city.

The Judeo-Christian Outreach Center, a nonprofit organization, recently broke ground on a supportive housing project for people experiencing homelessness. JCOC already owned the property near the Oceanfront and previously operated an emergency shelter there.

Shoff said it’s an example of a nonprofit using its land for affordable housing, but the city is also interested in helping to facilitate projects for the broader community, including low-income seniors and families.

In a public survey conducted last fall on what should be the City Council’s top priorities, respondents ranked “affordable housing/housing affordability and homelessness” among the top five.

The city is offering an online quiz at www.speakupvb.com to help gain insight into the community’s understanding of what affordable housing is and why it is important to have an adequate supply. The quiz is open until Aug. 11.

For those organizations interested in developing their land, a request for information form is available online at VirginiaBeach.gov/HousingRFI until 5 p.m. Aug. 14.
