The Virginia Beach Fire Department has successfully received its third reaccreditation since

initially accredited in 2001. Fire Chief Steven Cover and the VBFD accreditation managers

appeared before the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) in San Antonio

this week and received the news.

In early June, the VBFD hosted a

Peer Assessor Team from the

CFAI for its reaccreditation site

visit. After the assessment, the

VBFD was advised it was being

recommended for reaccreditation.

The team submitted its findings to

CFAI for review. Accreditation is

achieved through the Center for

Public Safety Excellence, the

agency that provides the only

accreditation program for fire

service organizations in the world.

The Princess Anne Athletic Complex has been named the

2016 Complex of the Year by Senior Softball-USA. The award

was received not only for the great venue, but also for the

excellent customer service Senior Softball-USA continues to

receive from both Parks and Recreation’s Sports

Management and Convention and Visitors Bureau’s Sports

Marketing Units.

The Princess Anne Athletic Complex is located in the heart of

Princess Anne Commons and includes eight lighted

tournament-quality softball fields and seven multi-purpose

playing fields. The complex also features two full-service

concession stands.

L-R: District Chief Michael Barakey, Chief Steven Cover, Battalion Chief Amy Valdez, Acting Battalion Chief John McIvor, District Chief Kenneth Pravetz, Battalion Chief Joshua Goyet and CFAI Rep. Jeff Ferris.

Police Deputy Chiefs Tony Zucaro and

the Final Report of the President's Task

Force on 21st Century Policing.

President Barack Obama established the Task

Force on 21st Century Policing to identify

best practices in modern law enforcement

and make recommendations to improve

police procedures, promote effective crime

Subject: AIRBNB legislation

Good Afternoon Dave,

First, please let me introduce myself. I am a retired municipal manager having served in PA and NJ in five different position followed by a stint after retirement as the VP of a NJ based government consulting company. In May 2015, my wife and I moved to VB to enjoy life in a well managed coastal community that is in reasonable distance of a son and his family living in Richmond. This has proven to be a great move for us.

We spend our winters in Maui where we own a vacation rental condo. We utilize VRBO and AIRBNB to market our property, and accordingly, have significant experience with this whole matter that has been on your agenda. We are registered in Hawaii with the State and County as owners of a vacation rental property and pay 9.5% Transient Accommodation tax as well as 4.17% General Excise Tax (the equivalent of a sales tax).

I applaud the actions your office and the Mayor and Council have been taking. If you would like anyone in your employ to tap into my background to assist as this matter moves forward, please feel free to reach out to me. I would also be happy to lend a hand in any other area where you might think I could be of assistance. All of my contact information is below.

Office of the Mayor Municipal Center 2401 Courthouse Drive Virginia Beach, VA 23456 Atm: William Sessoms and Members of City Council

Re: SMART SCALE Funding for Laskin Road Corridor

To the Honorable William Sessoms and Members of City Council:

It has come to my attention that the City of Virginia Beach will be applying for the next round of SMART SCALE funds through the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) with respect to several proposed transportation infrastructure projects within the City.

Speaking for many business and customer interests in and around the Hilltop area of the City, I cannot think of a greater need than to prioritize some of these capital improvement funds for the construction of long planned road improvements along the Laskin Road corridor. This includes the re-design of Laskin Road and the elimination of the antiquated "feeder" roads that have been the bane of everyone's existence for so many years.

The current circumstances favor moving forward with these improvements, as the Laskin Road Bridge Replacement has been approved and funded, and much of underground utilities along Laskin Road have been relocated.

As the developer and owner of La Promenade Distinctive Shoppes, a 7-acre, 65,000 square foot specialty retail center, anchored by national retail chain stores including Talbots, Jos A Bank, Chico's, Williams-Sonoma, and home to many popular boutiques and restaurants, our concerns go back many years. Attached are several past letters from this office sent to the City, voicing these concerns about the lack of infrastructure support at one of the most traveled roadways in the City.

There is a high incidence of traffic accidents at Hilltop, emergency vehicles are overly impeded in route to the nearby Hospital, vehicular ingress and egress to area businesses is extremely difficult, street flooding is a common occurrence, and pedestrian and bicycle activity has become exceedingly dangerous.

I understand that the proposed Laskin Road right-of-way improvements were part of the former Virginia Beach Blvd (Route 58) project approved by VDOT many years ago, and having this pre-approval may qualify and expedite this for the SMART SCALE funds. I would only point out that the current design may contain a degree of obsolescence because it was designed many years ago. Accordingly, I would hope that the City would have some degree of design flexibility in adapting this plan to current needs.

Municipal Center City Hall, Building 2401 Courtho Drive Virginia Beach, VA 23456

August 2, 2016 *City Manager Dave Hans

De,4,r1V1r. Hansen,

In response to your recent letter to the Virginia Beach Hotel Association (VBHA), we hope to meet with you in person very soon. We have always enjoyed an excellent relationship with our city manager, and very much wish to do so with you. Some of your comments require a response, which will begin with this letter.

For decades, the VBHA has been at the forefront of the progress in our tourism industry. We are the only business organization to have come forward numerous times in support of self-imposed tax increases to fund new programs and initiatives. The Tourism Investment Program (TIP), Tourism Advertising Program (TAP) and events program ideas germinated in our boardroom, along with requests for the hotel tax increases that made them happen. We have now stepped up for the arena as well, enabling council members to tell the public that unless they attend an arena event or stay in a hotel they will not be paying for the arena. We are extremely proud of our historical advocacy for growing the tourism economy, and the partnership we have enjoyed with the city.

This is why we are so perplexed at the recent turn of events. Instead of informed dialogue, we learned through the newspaper in January that a Hyatt House project was set to receive 30% of its construction costs paid for by the taxpayer. Although we work regularly with members of city staff in the know about this proposal, not one of them thought this matter would be of interest to us during the year it took to bring this matter to the Council. Having a publicly subsidized, directly competing hotel product is a concern for the hospitality industry.

You state that the VBHA is opposed to a headquarter hotel, yet we have never taken a positon on one. It was not the VBHA that killed the attempt at a deal with Armada Hoffler; the numbers would not work. We believe that the arena project should make the hotel deal more viable, and we have certainly been proponents of the arena.

The light rail issue is going to a referendum. Some of our members are strong advocates for this project, and belong to organizations which are working hard to make it happen. The VBHA is a tourism organization which advocates for tourism initiatives. Our board has not found consensus on the light rail issue, thus we have decided to remain neutral.

1023 Laskin Road, Suite 111 • Virginia Beach VA 23451 757-428-8015 • Fax: 757-425-3760

Our support for incentives, particularly the states' gap financing, is based on the interpretation of what projects should qualify for it. When briefed on the program in 2010, we were told that qualifying projects would fill a tourism void and have a positive impact on the local business community. Examples like arenas and the dome project were used, which led to our support of this program. We feel the Cavalier, even though it adds to the hotel inventory, does fill a void because it is such a unique, one of a kind project. Our opinion is that if we stick to the time proven formula of bringing in attractions and projects that actually fill tourism voids, the hotel product will continue to upgrade and grow, as has been happening for many years. We want to get back on a positive agenda, and look forward to conferring with the city as a partner to discuss and strategize. We are the ones on the front lines, we are the ones who hear what our customers want, and we would like to share this with you, the city leadership. This is what has worked so well in the past.

Our members, who know so much about tourism and industry trends, wish to engage with you in a solution-oriented discussion to continue to grow our industry. We look forward to meeting with you soon, and continuing the mutually beneficial progress that has served us so well.

Sincerely,

Joseph DaBiero President, Virginia Beach Hotel Association

SUBJECT: The Executive Mansion requests holiday tree ornaments representing Virginia cities, towns, and counties

Back by popular demand! Local ornaments for Governor's Mansion

Nearly 200 localities graciously participated in last year's ornament collection for the Holiday Tree at the Executive Mansion. The tree featured incredible works of art that celebrated the unique history and culture of the towns and cities they represented. Thank you for making that possible!

The Executive Mansion recently announced that the theme for its 2016 Holiday Tree will be "Home for the Holidays." VML has again been asked to assist in collecting ornaments from Virginia cities and towns for the tree that is displayed in the mansion's ballroom. (Our friends at the Virginia Association of Counties will be collecting ornaments from the counties.)

Each locality is asked to again submit one hand-crafted ornament that uniquely represents their community. The guidelines for making and submitting ornaments are attached.

The holiday tree will be on view to the public throughout the season and will be seen by thousands of visitors to the Executive Mansion. This project is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate what makes each Virginia city, town, and county special. We deeply appreciate your contribution of ornaments.

What to do Step 1: Please assist VML by letting us know by August 3o, 2016, if you plan to participate. Simply e-mail nchafinPvml.org with the subject line: "Yes! We're sending an ornament." In the body of the e-mail, please note the name of your city or town along with the contact person who will be coordinating the project.

Step 2: Handmade ornaments must be submitted to VML by November 1, 2016. They can be mailed to:

VML VIR4INIA LLAQVI.

Guidelines for "Home for the Holidays"

• Each participating locality is asked to submit one holiday ornament.

• The theme of the ornament is totally up to the locality; however, we suggest a depiction of some unique feature that is specific to your community, such as an historic home, a noted person, a natural feature, an animal or plant from the region, etc.

• The Executive Mansion prefers hand-made ornaments as opposed to purchased ornaments.

• Examples of materials that could be used for creating the ornament include: clay, glass, shells, fabric, wood, found objects, and objects from nature.

• Preferred size of the ornament should be no larger than 6 inches in any dimension. Be mindful that the ornament is not too heavy to hang on the tree.

• The finished ornament should be sent along with the name of the locality and artist placed on the back or bottom of the ornament.

• The artist/artisan should reside in or near the locality. As we may feature a children-themed tree in the future, we are asking that this year's ornaments be created by adults (college-aged and above).

• Deadline for submitting the ornament is November 1, 2016.

We recognize that there will be questions and we welcome you to phone or email so that we can work with you on what we hope will be a fun and creative project that displays our pride in our Commonwealth. You are welcome to contact the VML's Nancy Chafin at nchafin@vml.org or 804-523-8527 or you may email the Executive Mansion at: stacy.ellis@governor.virginia.gov.

The mansion will officially open for the holiday season the evening of the Capitol Tree Lighting. The tree will be available for viewing during our open house as well as during normal tour hours. For more detailed information on specific event dates and tour times, please visit www.executivemansion.virginia.gov.

Hotels go after Millennials

Nancy Trejos, USA TODAY 10:40 p.m. EDT August 10, 2016

Marriott's Moxy hotels debut in the USA

Moxy Hotels, Marriott International's new hotel for Millennials, which just celebrated the opening of its New

Orleans property, is a signpost to the wave of openings targeting these younger travelers in the next few years.

Every major hotel company has designed a new brand to appeal to these consumers in their 20s and early 30s

whose purchasing power and desire to travel is expected to increase exponentially in the coming years.

In addition to Moxy, which opened its first property in Tempe, Ariz., in March, Marriott introduced AC Hotels in

2014. Last year, Hyatt unveiled Hyatt Centric. Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group debuted Radisson Red in Brussels

in April. Hilton Worldwide opened its first Canopy in Reykjavik this month and will introduce Tru early next year.

They join more established brands such as InterContinental Hotel Group's Hotel Indigo and Starwood Hotels

and Resorts' Aloft, which already skewed younger and continue to evolve for Millennial tastes.

Smaller chains such as Virgin Hotels and Sixty Hotels are also focusing more on design, technology and

experiences— the qualities hoteliers say Millennial travelers want.

"Millennials are less interested in a cookie-cutter experience and in fact want to discover something new, take in

the city, the food, the local scene," says Vicki Poulos, global brand director for Moxy Hotels. "Increasingly we

see the blurring of lines between work and play."

Millennials, who were born from 1980 to the mid-2000s, are the largest generation in the USA, representing

one-third of the U.S. population, according to the White House's Council of Economic Advisers.

They are already starting to travel more. In the first year of Virgin Hotels' Chicago, 34% of its clientele was in

the Millennial age bracket, says Virgin Hotels CEO Raul Leal.

"They're looking for the same thing everyone is: comfort, convenience, value and definitely a place they can

meet like-minded people," he says.

Value is still key for Millennials, many of whom have yet to reach their income potential, As a result, guestroom

minibars at the Virgin Chicago don't carry the usually marked-up price tags. Peanut M&Ms are $1.50, Twinkies

are $2, a Coca-Cola is $1, and wine is $16.

Hyatt Centric, which debuted in Chicago last year, also offers an array of amenities that executives believe will

appeal to Millennials or older travelers who have similar tastes.

"Millennial-minded guests don't live in a one-size-fits-all-world," says Jonathan Frolich, vice president of brand

marketing for Hyatt.

Room amenities in U.S. hotels include DryBar Buttercup salon-quality hair dryers, Keurig in-room coffee

brewing systems, BeKind bath products and JBL speakers. Hyatt Centric also has an exclusive program with

Grubhub, allowing guests to order food from the delivery service. Hyatt employees have curated the menus,

which include Peruvian-Japanese fusion restaurant SuViche in Miami and Honduran cuisine from Honduras

Kitchen in Long Beach.

"We're trying things we've never done before," Frolich says.

Although Hilton executives won't say that Canopy is a Millennial brand, they do say that it appeals to a Millennial

mind-set.

Canopy hotels have a lobby called "Canopy Central," with a casual bar/cafe. An artisanal breakfast and Wi-Fi

are included in the rate. Guests get a welcome gift from the neighborhood and evening tastings featuring local

treats such as microbrews and local wines. Each hotel will have a "transfer lounge" where guests can refresh

before or after check-in/check-out.

Canopy properties strive to offer "a true feel for the surrounding neighborhood," says Gary Steffen, global head

of Canopy.

Radisson Red opened its first hotel in Brussels in April and has 13 more in the works, including a Minneapolis

location scheduled to open by the end of 2016.

"When we designed the brand, we spent a lot of time researching and understanding Millennial consumers and

what their likes are," says Richard Flores, vice president of branding for Radisson and Radisson Red at

Carlson. "Millennials are looking for a new experience, a sense of discovery.... They want to do things at their

own pace."

Their own pace means using their mobile phones as room keys, which Radisson Red and many other brands

are adopting.

Starwood's Aloft, which was one of the first brands to try keyless entry, has also introduced the Botlr, a robotic

butler; TiGi ("text it, get it"), an emoji-only room service menu; and RoomCast Powered by Chromecast, which

allows guests to stream content from their smart devices to their guestroom televisions. These features are

being piloted at various Aloft properties.

"We also refresh our lobbies quarterly," says Brian McGuinness, global brand leader for Aloft and other

Starwood brands.

Hotel Indigo, by IHG, has been around for 12 years. It was one of the first boutique brands to be introduced by

a major hotel giant. IHG has since bought another boutique hotel brand, Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants.

But Hotel Indigo continues to evolve.

This summer, the brand has partnered with Uber, the ride-hailing company, to play host to concerts at Hotel

Indigo's new Lower East Side New York rooftop restaurant, Mr. Purple.

Jason Moskal, vice president of lifestyle brands for IHG says the partnership with Uber made sense because

the sharing economy is so popular with younger travelers. He also says that each Hotel Indigo property tries to

feel like a hanging out venue vs. a hotel.

"It's not people coming to New York City. It's people coming to the Lower East Side neighborhood and really

looking for that Lower East Side experience," he says.

A local experience is what Moxy is going after as well, and what Marriott thinks young guests seek.

"We wanted to create moments throughout the space that would spark conversation and guests would want to

share with friends over social media," says Christine Miller, a designer at Stonehill and Taylor at the Moxy New

Orleans, mentioning touches like a hanging bird cage chair and and a pillow emblazoned with "I woke up like

this."
