The cost of building an entertainment venue on the former dome site at the Oceanfront has gone up by about $9 million. The City Council is scheduled to vote on allocating more money for it on Tuesday.

The council's position disappointed community activists who have been lobbying the city to make the civilian review board more effective and transparent.

Del. Nancy Guy (D-Virginia Beach) said she plans to abandon the bill she sponsored for the city that would have created the authority after she heard concerns from the resort community and Republican Del. Barry Knight, who also represents the city.
