# City Council Meeting, 11/10/2026

At the November 10, 2026, Virginia Beach City Council meeting, the deputy city manager presented 27 recommendations from the Mayor’s Task Force for Safe Virginia Beach. Council discussed a possible spring 2027 Oceanfront violence-interruption pilot: staff said it was preparing a limited solicitation for proposals from interested providers to assess scope and cost, with a plan to return to Council for consideration. No vendor, contract amount, or award was approved. Staff said it would develop an implementation checklist identifying actions that could proceed administratively and items needing Council, General Assembly, or budget support; several recommendations may require additional appropriations. The recommendations also include resort-area improvements, youth opportunities, lighting, and expanded support for mental-health response and transportation.

Council approved the consent agenda 11–0, including appropriations of $62,500 for fire technical-rescue equipment, $39,821 for substance-use-disorder services, and $425,224 for regional opioid awareness, resources, and treatment; it also included a $3,000 grant with a $1,000 local match for homelessness-transition assistance. Other capital actions included $1 million for water-meter replacement and two $500,000 Virginia Aquarium project transfers, as well as acquisition of 13,735 square feet of land for a public-utilities pump-station project. No procurement contract awards or vendor selections were identified. Council also heard a contested private mixed-use/self-storage zoning application; the transcript does not include its final disposition.
