City Council Special Formal Meeting, 10/13/2026

The Virginia Beach City Council held a special formal meeting on October 13, 2026, presided over by Mayor Bobby Dyer. Vice Mayor Wilson was absent due to family business. The council received two major presentations: a review of the draft legislative agenda for the 2027 Virginia General Assembly session presented by Director of Legislative Affairs Brent McKenzie, and an overview of the city's agricultural industry presented by Director of Agriculture David Trimmer. Council members proposed several additions to the legislative agenda, including recognizing mature tree canopy preservation as a stormwater best management practice credit, introducing a charter amendment to formally define the city's southern "blue line," and adding funding for Commonwealth's Attorney staffing.
