Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
That
we
have
a
special
program.
It's
for
public
comment.
First,
though
I'm
sorry,
but
before
we
begin,
we
will
exercise
the
opportunity
for
public
comment
and
I
believe
when
we
have
three
today
the
first
will
be,
and
the
timing
is
two
minutes
two
minutes.
We
will
give
you
a
warning
and
then
we
will
catch
you
up.
So
we're
going
to
do
our
first
subscribe.
So.
A
D
A
B
A
A
F
E
I
own
my
business
called
recycled
teenager
Senior
Services
I
go
to
rehab
center
Memory
Care,
assisted
living
facilities
to
conduct
sing-along
oldies,
but
goodies
I
encourage
seniors
to
sing.
They
can
dance
in
their
wheelchairs.
They
can
do
upper
body
movements
or
be
a
little
bit
silly
I
make
you
feel
young
and
hard
again
like
they
recycle
the
teenagers.
They
need
this
kind
of
stimulation,
because
music
does
magic.
I
want
to
show
you
a
video
I
used
to
do
individuals,
but
not
anymore.
G
G
A
Thank
you
so
much
Cheerio
appreciate
that
bit
of
a
good
cheer.
That's
it
all
right,
so
public
comments.
Thank
you
again
for
taking
the
time
to
come.
H
B
I
I'm
sorry
I'm
a
little
late
yeah,
it's
early
for
me,
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
been
discussing
at
Great,
Lakes
and
I'm,
approached
quite
frequently
by
people
who
live
here
and
they're
quite
disturbed
about
the
situation
with
the
loop
group.
B
Anybody
who
used
the
blue
they
were
concerned
for
other
people,
because
it's
such
a
vital
link
and
I
was
thinking
about
it.
I
think
the
number
is
like
150
people
out
of
280
are
signed
up
for
the
loop
now
to
my
way
of
thinking,
that's
a
pretty
high
statistic
and
it
hits
only
50.
So
this
is
not
just
some
casual
thing
that
people
do
to
fill
in
time.
This
is
of
the
way
that
they
get
things
done
and
I've
had
somebody
you
say
just
getting
to
the
library
to
pick
out.
B
I
B
Have
10
seconds
left?
Okay,
it's
a
big
concern
and
it's
not
not
without
Merit
and
people
are
very
disturbed
and
I
hope
you
decide
continue
it
because
it's
extremely.
A
Important,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
comment
and
I
believe
we
had
a
little
bit
of
trouble
hearing
but
I
believe
it's
regarding
your
concern
for
the
senior
living,
and
we
do
have
some
information
for
you.
So
if
you
will
listen
to
this
announcement,
I
think
it
would
be
very
helpful
to
you
yeah,
so
I
just
want
to
assure
you
all,
first
of
all
that
the
senior
Loop
is
not
going
away.
A
In
fact,
we
have
just
heard
that
the
contract
has
been
extended
through
May
of
2024
so
for
at
least
another
year,
while
we
figure
out
how
we're
going
to
redo
that
redo,
that
service
so
be
assured,
you're
still
going
to
get
senior
Hooper
until
May
of.
A
Feedback.
Thank
you.
We
know
that
this
is
very
important
and
I'm
really
thrilled
that
the
staff
has
been
able
to
work
this
through
in
a
time
of
a
difficult
budget
decision
making.
So
thank
you
again
Jackie
for
your
comment.
That
is
the
end
of
our
public
comment.
So
I
can
officially
welcome
and
turn
over
to
Herschel
to
introduce
our
speaker
and
fellow
commissioner.
Okay.
J
J
Jurisdictions
in
in
the
state
in
terms
of
language
and
ethnic
diversity,
and
it's
a
member
of
the
Democratic
Leadership
and
therefore
in
a
good
position
to
to
observe.
What's
what
went
on
that
a.
K
Concert
yeah
I
saw
some
close
and
personal
well.
Thank
you
guys
for
having
me
and
the
opportunity
to
tell
you
about
some
of
the
major
things
that
were
going
on
in
terms
of
aging
and
the
things
the
commission
cares
about
during
the
session.
I
will
tell
you
sort
of
repeat
something
that
rip
Sullivan
says
a
great
deal
who's
the
delegate
from
North
Arlington.
This
was
all
about
defense
this
year
in
terms
of
social
safety,
Industries
issue,
issues
of
Human,
Services,
aging,
social
Healthcare
housing.
K
So
we
were
having
to
play
defense
because,
with
the
52-48
seat
majority
in
the
house,
the
Republicans
were
acting
as
if
they
had
a
75-25
in
the
ordering
they
were
putting
in
legislation.
K
It
was
basically
gutting
everything
done
over
the
last
three
years
of
democratic
majority
and
then
in
25
years
of
just
the
evolution
of
State
policy
and
Regulatory
policies,
and
so
thank
goodness,
we
had
a
a
very
narrow
but
solid
brick
wall
in
the
Senate
to
defeat
a
lot
of
these
bills
that
got
out
of
the
house
in
a
party
line
both
that
would
have
crumbled
that
social
savings,
and
so
what
has
come
out
of
this
General
Assembly,
thankfully
not
a
lot,
and
so
and
by
that
I
mean
well
a
lot
of
good
things
happened,
I'm
very
proud
of
a
few
of
my
pieces
of
legislation,
but
I
will
tell
you
that
a
lot
of
the
big
ticket
items
in
terms
of
of
rolling
back
abortion
rights,
rolling
back
renewable
energy.
K
You
know
progress.
We've
made
rolling
back
Environmental,
Protections,
rolling,
back
education
and
funding
rolling
back
Healthcare
funding,
we're
all
defeated
by
the
Senate,
even
though
they
might
have
gotten
out
of
the
house,
and
they
were
exactly
99
pieces
of
sensible
gun,
violence,
prevention
legislation
or
legislation
to
get
rid
of
sensible
gun
violence.
Protections
like
red,
flag
laws-
or
you
know
high
capacity
gun
magazine
legislation,
and
they
were
all
defeated
by
the
other
chamber,
except
one
bill
that
I
had
and
I'm
very
proud
of.
K
I
worked
for
with
three
and
a
half
months
with
the
Asheville
Rifle
Association,
as
well
as
to
get
the
NRA
Giffords
every
town,
mom's,
Man
action
and
Brady
to
agree
on
something,
and
it
was
a
big
joke.
Amongst
a
bunch
of
my
friends
that
Alfonso
Lopez
is
now
getting
positive
and
positive
press
from
the
NRA,
because
I
worked
with
them
and
got
them
to
yes
on
a
bill
that
flipped
the
scripts
on
gun,
violence,
prevention.
And
it's
a
very
it's
an
important
piece
of
legislation.
K
But
it's
nowhere
near
what
needs
you
need
to
do.
But
it
would
basically
create
an
incentive
for
good
behavior.
So
people
can
be
lawed
by
in
terms
of
gun,
safes
and
purchasing,
gun,
safes
and
gun
locks
or
gun
safes
and
gun
storage
devices
up
to
three
hundred
dollars.
And
the
idea
is
that
we
want
to
incentivize
people,
keeping
their
guns
protected
and
kept
away
from
children
or
folks
who
are
depressed
or
or
or
having
to
be
stolen,
which
is
happening
on
an
increasing
way
across
the
Commonwealth.
K
And
if
my
argument
was
that,
if
one
child's
was
kept
from
hurting
themselves
or
someone
else
or
some
Crest
teenager
was
kept
from
committing
suicide,
then
it
was
all
worth
it.
So
that
was
something
that
it
took
a
very
a
lot
of
work
to
get
to
yes
on
it,
but
that
was
one
possible
thing.
I
think
that
came
out
of
this
session.
K
Well,
in
the
last
budget,
we
did
a
great
deal
for
economic
development
and
fixing
or
right-sizing
some
things
in
terms
of
of
a
business
incentives,
but
we
are
one
of
the
top
three
business
friendly
states
in
America
we
were
the
most
business
friendly
State
just
three
years
ago
and
then
undercane
and
we
were
for
two
years
in
a
row
and
under
Northam.
K
And
so
what
he's
demanding
is
a
billion
dollars
of
tax
cuts
for
business,
on
top
of
all
the
four
billion
dollars
that
we
took
care
of
in
the
last
budget,
and
we
think
social
safety
net
should
be
fun.
Instead,
we
think
that
education
should
be
fun.
We
think
that
there
should
be
protections
for
schools
and
and
and
and
for
health
care
and
getting
people
off
the
DB
and
ID
waiver
list,
as
opposed
to
tax
incentives
to
corporations
that
don't
leave
here,
because
they
want
to
come
to
Virginia.
K
K
Even
though
we
were
one
of
the
two
finalists,
because
Ford
Motor
Company
is
a
Chinese
fronts.
Come.
K
So
what
I
love
folks
are
people
who
want
to
govern
Virginia
yeah
the
when
we
have
a
governor
who
cares
about
getting
the
Weeds
on
Virginia,
not
someone
who's
going
out
of
their
way
to
put
the
freak
of
the
wind
and
pull
test
policy
so
that
they
can
develop
a
foreign
policy
agenda,
and
you
know
I
think
about
well.
K
I
need
to
cut
taxi
or
do
this
here
so
that
I
can
look
good
to
become
the
vice
president
of
the
United
States,
because
we
all
know
he's
polling
in
these
zeros
I
don't
mean
to
be
so
partisan,
but
it
is
very
discouraging
when
we
see
that
even
in
a
place
like
Arlington,
when
you
have
amazing
staff
and
and
P
like
hundreds
of
people
who
are
senior
staffers
in
Arlington,
County
should
could
be
city
managers
and
County
managers.
Someplace
else.
K
K
One
was
nursing
home,
Staffing
standards
that
finally
were
put
into
the
code.
After
two
decades
of
trying
it
was
SB
1339
from
Senator
Barker
and
the
effective
date
of,
and
con
and
delegate
Bobby
orrak
it's
a
bipartisan
Bill
speculate
is
July
1st
2025
and
basically
says
the
facilities
must
provide
at
least
3.08
hours
of
pace,
mixed
adjusted,
total
nurse
staffing
hours
per
resident
per
day.
Is
it
it's?
K
It's
short
of
the
4.1
hours
of
care
per
patient
per
day,
Advocates
were
asking
for,
but
at
a
home
that
is
out
of
compliance
for
two
years
in
a
row.
It
could
be
fine,
fifty
thousand
dollars,
but
Virginia
was
one
of
only
12
states
without
a
standard
at
all,
and
we
that
has
been
going
on
for
honestly
going
on
two
two
decades.
K
So
this
was
a
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
Was
it
exactly
what
we
wanted?
No,
but
it
was
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
K
Unless
such
restriction
is
reasonable
to
prevent
physical,
mental
or
emotional
harm
to
or
financial
exploitation
of
such
incapacitated
person,
he
also
requires
a
majority
to
provide
written
notice
to
any
restricted
person
stating
one
the
nature
in
terms
the
Restriction,
to
the
reasons
why
the
guardian
believes
the
Restriction
is
necessary
and
three
how
the
restricted
person
May
challenge
such
restriction
in
court
and
the
current
law
only
says
the
Guardians
are
directed
to
not
unreasonably
restricts
any
such
communication
visitation
reaction
with
not
specific
requirements,
so
this
is
I
think
a
important
step
forward,
because
you
how
many
times
have
be
seen
folks
not
being
able
to
communicate
with
their
domestic
Partners
or
with
some
family
member
because
of
ancient
animosities
that
are
between
individuals
that
are
not
the
the
incapacitated
person.
K
The
Guardian
themselves
have
to
conduct
at
least
two
of
the
visits,
and
at
least
one
of
such
that
it's
be
in
person,
the
other
is
it
can
be
by
a
family
member,
a
qualified
professional
by
the
guardian
virtually,
and
the
virtual
aspect
is
something
that's
new
for
the
for
the
the
state
code,
which
is
what
I
thought
was
Innovative
by
Danica
Senator
Mason
from
Williamsburg
had
SB
987,
which
was
regular
garden.
K
Ship
review
here
requires
the
court
to
set
up
a
schedule
for
periodic
review
hearings
in
the
order
of
appointment
of
a
guardian
or
conservator.
Unless
the
court
makes
a
determination
that
such
hearings
are
unnecessary
or
impractical,
one
the
likelihood
the
respondents
condition
will
improve
or
the
responsible
or
gain
capacity.
Two
weather
concerns
or
questions
were
raised
about
the
stability
of
the
person
appointed
as
a
guardian
or
Conservatory
time.
K
The
initial
appointment
and
three,
whether
the
appointment
of
guarding
or
conservative
or
the
appointment
of
specifically
appointed
guardian
or
conservator,
was
contested
by
the
respondent
or
another
party.
So
that's
what
needs
to
be
determined
by
the
court
and
then
the
last
issue
was
a
bill
that
did
not
get
dumped.
K
K
They
would
have
established
the
prescription
drug
portability
board
for
the
purposes
of
protecting
the
citizens
of
the
Commonwealth
and
other
stakeholders
within
the
healthcare
system.
From
the
high
costs
of
prescription
drug
products,
the
governor
would
have
appointed
the
board.
Members
on
the
bill
would
have
created
the
stakeholder
Council
for
the
purpose
of
assisting
the
board
and
making
decisions
related
to
drug
cost
affordability.
K
So
what
this
would
have
done
is
we're
taking
this
the
first
step
towards
us
getting
to
a
situation
where
we
can
use
our
Authority
to
start
demanding
that
costs
go
down
in
Virginia
and
take
it
to
court
sort
of
taking
a
Canada
approach
and
incentivizing
it
in
Virginia,
because,
as
we
all
know,
some
of
the
worst
things
that
can
happen
is
to
make
any
choice
between.
K
K
It
is
unfortunate
and
we've
made
progress
over
the
last
few
years
in
terms
of
inhalers
in
terms
of
of
insulin,
but
the
whack-a-mole
approach
that
we
keep
seeing
is
not
right.
We
need
to
be
able
to.
You
know,
address
these
issues
in
a
macro
set.
K
It's
not
one,
one
medicine
or
prescription
at
a
time
it
passed
in
Senate
on
a
bipartisan
vote
of
26-13,
but
then
it
failed
in
a
early
morning
subcommittee
of
a
Commerce
energy
committee
that
I
serve
on
on
a
four
to
two
party
line
vote,
and
so
this
is
another
example.
What
I
talked
about
in
the
very
beginning,
which
is
you'd,
have
45
bills
to
address
the
sensible
gun,
violence
prevention
that
would
pass
the
Senate
and
then
at
7
A.M
on
a
random
Tuesday.
K
That
would
pass
the
house
but
then
would
die
or
be
defeated
in
the
Senate
and
that's
just
an
example
of
how
this
divided
legislature
has
really
not
seen
as
much
as
could
have
been
asked,
get
passed
this
year
and
that's
why
the
reconvene
session
we
had
just
last
week
was
pretty
short
in
terms
of
the
number
of
Governors
vetoes
and
the
number
of
real
amendments
that
took
place
so
beyond
that
I
wanted
to
say
something
that
I've
been
working
on
for
a
number
of
years
and
that
you
have
been
supportive
of
and
very
hopeful
on,
because
of
the
sort
of
the
way.
K
K
Now
this
fails
in
comparison
to
other
similar
sized
States
in
terms
of
what
they
have
their
affordable
housing,
trust
funds
and
I
put
it
in
a
budget
amendment
this
year,
requesting
200
million
dollars
in
each
year
of
the
body
of
budget
to
get
us
up
to
where
we
need
to
be
so
400
million
dollars
and
what
the
governor
has
in
his
body
or
what
the
Senate
and
the
house
have
in
their
budget
and
what
the
governor
put
in
his
budget
was
150
million.
K
So
is
that
what
I
wanted?
No?
Is
it
more
than
120
525.7
million?
Yes,
the
fact
is
this
that
for
every
project
we
fund
that
addresses
homelessness
and,
more
importantly,
is
the
seed
money.
Here
we
go,
the
lights
are
gone,
they
didn't
pay.
We.
K
What
it
does
is
it
what
it
does
is.
It
creates
the
Gap
funding
for
the
building
of
new,
affordable
housing
units
around
the
around
the
Commodore,
and
there
have
been
several
built
just
here
in
the
49th
district
I
mean
you
can
do
it
within
walking
distance
of
certain
places
here,
149
C
person,
units
127
personal
units.
K
The
issue
is
this:
for
every
project
we
fund
at
the
state
level,
there
are
seven
in
Northern
Virginia
that
don't
get
funded
for
every
project
we
Fund
in
southwest
and
South
Side
Virginia.
There
are
three
that
don't
get
funded
that
need
to
get
funded
and
because
here's,
my
here's,
my
point
folks
or
if
you're,
living
in
a
double
wide
trailer
with
a
leaky,
roof
and
mold
on
the
walls
and
you've
got
kids
living
there.
K
That
means
that
if
it's,
if
you
have
people
living
in
hollers
and
Appalachia
down
in
Lee,
County
and
they're,
don't
have
schools,
they
don't
have
social
safety
net
and
they
don't
have
affordable
housing.
It
should
matter
to
people
who
live
in
Alexandria
and
Ireland
and
by
saying
token,
if
so,
it's
an
honor
to
be
here
and
to
honor
to
be
a
member
of
this.
K
This
commission
I
appreciate
you
know
so
many
friends
on
this
commission
who,
including
years
of
service
to
the
county,
including
you,
madam
chair,
yeah
and
so
I,
we
I
can
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
I
do
go
on
I
apologize
if
you
like,
I'm
I
used
to
be
the
Whip,
and
so,
if
you
get
me
going,
I
won't
stop.
K
But
yeah
have
to
answer
any
questions.
I.
J
Had
a
quick
question:
do
other
majority
other
states
have
that
drug
board
that
you
mentioned.
K
I
have
to
get
back
to
him,
but
I
do
know
that
I
will
say
in
a
mattress,
hey
the
in
the
macro
sense.
You
will
find
that
Virginia
is
a
rather
conservative
state
in
terms
of
what
other
folks
will
do
in
a
year.
We
will
take
six
to
do
yeah
and
that's
partly
a
function
of
our
sort
of
Jeffersonian
way
of
doing
the
state
government,
in
that
we
are
only
in
session
two
months
out
of
the
Year,
we're
arguably
amongst
the
shortest
General
Assembly
sessions
in
the
entire
country.
K
Well,
it's
fascinating
about.
That,
though,
is
that
we
are
the
template
for
everyone
else,
so
every
issue
will
be
adjudicated
and
taken
care
of
literally
in
those
two
months.
That
of
the
other
state
will
take
six
months
to
do,
and
then
the
national
groups
will
then
sort
of
say
all
right.
Well,
if
we
have
this
kind
of
legislation
go
out
of
this
like,
and
this
is
who
this
person
is,
and
this
is
who
this
person
is.
K
A
So
Elena,
if
you
want
to
add
something
to
drug
affordability,
words.
L
Oh
sorry,
Alana,
yes,
the
so
Maryland
does
have
a
prescription
drug
affordability
board.
L
L
For
anyone
who
doesn't
know
me,
I'm
Alana,
krennen,
I'm,
Arlington,
County's
legislative
liaison
great
to
see
you
delegate,
Alfonso
Lopez
I'm.
Sorry
I
need
to
be
virtual
today,
but
please
do
continue.
Delia
Lopez.
C
I
just
have
a
sort
of
a
general
question,
any
prophesying
as
to
what
might
happen
in
November
this
year.
In
terms
of
the
election
in
white,
the
you
know,
the
house
returned
to
the
Democrats
any
thoughts
I.
K
I
am
Spike
mine,
I
am
a
glass
bull
kind
of
guy.
I
K
Right
just
based
on
the
new
redistricting
Maps,
you
would
say
that
if
you
were
a
pro-democrat
person,
that's
around
54
46..
In
reality,
it
might
be
closer
to
52-48,
but
a
lot
of
those
races
are
are
in
terms
of
the
district
Democratic
performance
indexes
that
are
algorithms.
We
have
internally.
They
are
very
close
they're,
like
you
know,
within
three
or
four
points,
and
so
it's
going
to
take
a
great
deal
of
of
organizing
and
money
and
a
lot
of
it's
been
dependent.
K
What
the
national
Zeitgeist
is
at
the
time
and
and
the
problem.
There
is
also
that
the
governor
is
got
more
money.
You
can
check
sick
at
it's
perfectly
willing
to
spend,
as
much
of
it
to
you
know,
send
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
into
campaigns
where
they
need
it,
and
so
the
fundraising
is
not
going
to
be
an
issue
on
the
Republican
side.
It's
going
to
be
additional
democratic
and
we're
going
to
have
to
work
incredibly
hard
over
the
next
several
months
to
see.
K
And
the
governor
will
still
be
there
for
another
two
years,
but
I
will
tell
you
that
what
I
find
fascinating
and
once
again
it's
a
nakedly,
partisan
statement,
even
though
the
Republicans
redistricted
the
state
in
such
a
way
where,
in
my
first
year
in
the
house
after
redistricting,
there
were
16
new
members
and
there
were
15
Republicans
and
I
was
the
only
Denver
all
right.
That's
how
effective
they
were
in
in
upending
things,
and
it
was.
There
were
only
32
Democrats
in
the
house.
We
couldn't
even
sustain
a
Governor's
veto.
K
If
we
wanted
to,
we
took
the
majority
55-45
using
their
Maps
over
10
years.
We
took
the
majority
now
I
mean
how
do
you
make
God
laugh,
assume
everything's,
gonna
say
the
same.
All
right,
Everything,
Changes,
Everything
evolves,
but
right
now,
I
think
if
you
just
look
at
the
map,
we're
in
the
Democrats
are
in
a
good
place
to
take
that
52-51-c
majority.
But
it's
going
to
take
a
heck
of
a
lot
of
work
to
get
there.
K
H
M
B
A
K
A
K
You
could
be
amended
to
do
that.
Okay,
you
could
also,
you
could
be
definitely
messaging
I
thought
there
had
been
talk
about
doing
that
in
the
past.
I
A
O
Yes,
I'm
sorry,
we
have
a
question
that
I
commend
you
on
the
work
that
you're
doing
around
gun
reform
and
the
incentives
for
for
safe
gun
storage
and
other
efforts.
O
Keep
in
mind
that
older
men
traveling
the
highest
rates
of
suicide
by
Firearms.
You
talked
about
youth,
which
is
very,
very
important,
we'll
continue
to
see
that,
but
older
men
Across,
the
Nation
have
one
of
the
highest
rates.
So
when
you
do
your
advocacy,
please
mention
older
people
too,
because
they
tend
to
have
access
and
they're
not
safely.
K
B
K
It's
not,
it
was
gun
plans
and,
but
also
what's
fascinating,
is
is
the
number
of
suicides
if
someone
is
having
suicidal
thoughts
or
is,
is
incredibly
depressed
and
for
a
short
period
of
time
and
they
have
a
gun
in
their
house.
It's
much
easier
for
them
to
be
commit
suicide.
If
it's
severely
it's
over,
the
number
60
keeps
coming
in,
but
60
a
day,
two
cents.
O
O
K
Would
have
to
get
back
to
you
on
that
I
thought
there
might
have
been
with
markers
the
co-chair
of
the
finance
committee
in
the
Senate,
which
the
finance
Appropriations,
Committee
and
I
would
assume
that
and
I
don't
know
if
he
has
the
budget
amendment
for
that,
but
I
assume
that
is
in
the
budget,
and
if
I
can
get
back
to
you
on
that,
but
the
like
I
said
in
the
very
beginning.
We
don't
have
a
budget
yet
and
we
might
we
might
not
get
one.
K
You
don't
technically
need
one
this
year,
that's
level
funding
now.
Is
that
a
problem
for
a
lot
of
our
other
issues?
Things
we
want
to
get
done?
Yes,
is
the
increased,
affordable,
housing
money,
money
I
have
in
the
budget,
for
you
know
cutting
the
cost
of
AP
and
IB
tests
for
creators.
Lunch
kids
I
mean
every
the
whole
host
of
things
that
would
not
be
funded.
The
way
we
make
me
want
to.
A
Anything
else
I
mean
okay,
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
and
thank
you
for
what
you
do
in
Richmond.
That
is
has
been
an
uphill
battle
and
we
really
appreciate
it,
and
we
know
the
efforts
that
you
and
the
whole
delegation
is
putting
in.
So
thank
you
so
very
much
for
taking
the
time
to
come
and
speak
with
us
and
to
do
what
you
do.
Thank
you
and.
K
I
will
say
that
we're
lucky
in
that
our
delegation
is
really
sought
after
and
you
know,
Patrick
hope
is
one
of
our
top
two
people
when
it
comes
to
Affordable,
succumbs
of
public,
public
health
and
and-
and
you
know,
Health
Care
issues
and
a
real
leader
on
that
Rich
Sullivan
is
one
of
the
brightest
attorneys
in
the
state.
K
Evp
Elizabeth
Parker
is
arguably
I,
think
the
best
freshman
I've
ever
seen
in
terms
of
Effectiveness
and
getting
stuff
accomplished,
and
then
barbola
has
forgotten
more
about
public
policy.
Most
people
ever
learned
and
and
Adam
who
has
a
few
precincts
down.
The
new
redistricting
is
a
true
moral
leader
of
the
Senate
and
when
he
gets
up
and
speaks
people
stop
what
they're
doing
they
listen.
K
So
you
know
we
have
a
very
good
delegation,
the
new
District
Lines,
it's
going
to
just
be
myself
and
Patrick,
and
whoever
is
going
to
be
the
new
person
for
the
second
district
in
Arlington
and
then
we'll
have
Barbara
will
have
the
vast
majority
of
Arlington
and
Adam
Evan
will
have
if,
if
nothing
changes
these
four
or
five
precincts
in
South
Arlington,
so
so.
I
K
On
go
on
yes,
I
I
would
build
both
win
their
elections,
they'll
just
be
Fairfax
and
Alexander.
So
all
right,
so
I
apologize
I
have
to
go
to
my
next
meeting,
but
I
I
do
appreciate
Wyndham
keeping
me
breast
directly,
going
on
and
at
Herschel
and
everyone
else.
So.
Thank
you
all
thank
you
for
working,
so
caring
enough
to
do
this,
and
so
on
behalf
of
literally
be
thousands
of
people
who
maybe
don't
know
who
you
are
but
benefit
from
your
work
and
your
decision
making.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
F
A
L
Hi
everyone.
Thank
you
so
much
for
letting
me
join
virtually
today.
My
name
is
Alana
crennan
and
I
am
the
legislative
liaison
for
Arlington
County
I
work
very
closely
with
our
delegation
members,
including
delegate
Lopez,
who
just
spoke
with
you.
L
I,
also
facilitate
our
County
legislative
package
every
year,
where
we
put
the
top
priorities
for
Arlington
County
related
to
how
we
live,
work
eat,
breathe,
play
lit
in
Arlington.
We
cover
all
topics
such
as
Healthcare.
We
cover
environment,
we
cover
housing,
we
cover,
you
know,
Public
Safety
Etc
in
that
package
and
Herschel
was
always
so
kind.
L
He
always
shares
the
nvan
legislative
priorities
with
me
so
that
I
can
incorporate
them
into
our
package,
and
so
all
of
this
process
usually
takes
place
between
August
and
December
of
the
year
that
we're
going
into
ahead
of
the
legislative
session.
So
I
know
we're
only
in
April
right
now,
but
as
we,
you
know,
get
closer
to
August
and
nvn
starts
developing
their
priorities.
L
Herschel
always
make
sure,
with
all
of
your
help,
that
I'm
aware
of
what
they
are,
so
that
I
can
incorporate
them
into
our
package
and
then
I
can
present
it
to
our
County
board
for
approval
in
November
and
then
adoption
in
December
this
year,
I
took
a
look
at
the
unvan
priorities
and
wanted
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
an
update
on
what
was
sent,
what
we
included
in
our
package
and
what
was
passed
and
what
wasn't
so
the
first
I
know
the
big
one,
for
everyone
is
the
virtual
meetings.
L
Unfortunately,
that
bill
died,
both
Senator
Dave
Morrison
from
Fairfax
and
delegate
Elizabeth
Bennett
Parker
who's,
an
Arlington
member
of
our
delegation
introduced
those
bills
in
the
House
and
Senate
respectively,
and
unfortunately,
the
house
killed
both
the
bills.
It
made
it
through
the
Senate,
but
it
did
not
make
it
through
the
house
and
what
that
bill
would
have
done
is
made
it
so
that
at
least
50
percent
of
meetings
could
be
done
virtually
without,
but
still
having
that
in-person
Quorum.
L
So
my
my
take
for
the
coming
years
that
will
remain
in
our
package
as
a
priority
that
we
have
all
virtual
meetings
as
an
option.
However,
I
don't
expect
anything
to
change
on
that
front
until
we
have
a
change
in
the
political
party
in
power.
So
if,
during
this
November
election,
if
you
see
both
Democrats
take
the
house
back
in
control
and
the
Senate
retains
their
control,
I
would
be
pretty
certain
that
we
will
see
some
kind
of
virtual
meeting.
L
Bill
come
back
as
well
as
the
likelihood
of
it
passing
is
very
high.
Obviously,
we
would
then
have
to
get
it
past
the
governor,
but
we
would
definitely
likely
get
one
step
further
in
the
process
than
we
were
able
to
this
year.
L
Does
anyone
have
any
questions
about
virtual
meetings?
I
know,
that's
very,
very
important
to
many
of
you.
L
L
So
I
think
one
of
the
Republican
Senators
said
it
best.
She,
when
the
bill
was
being
heard,
they
talked
about
the
difficulties
that
they
had
in
when
we
did
virtual
session
back
in
2021,
and
it
really
came
down
to
a
combination
of
broadband
accessibility
which
many
rural
areas,
people
that
don't
have
live
in
areas
that
don't
have
as
great
an
infrastructure
that
we
have
in
Arlington.
L
They
they
felt
like
there
would
connection
issues
they
also
they
felt
like
they
were
mistreated.
They
felt
like
you
know
they
would
raise
their
hand
in
a
virtual
meeting
room
and
then
wouldn't
be
able
to.
You
know,
have
their
voice
heard
in
the
same
way
that
they
could
in
a
you
know,
public
setting,
that
is
those
are
the
two
of
the
opposition
arguments
that
we
are
hearing
I,
don't
know
how
full
proof
they
are.
L
You
could
say,
but
it's
enough
that
the
Republicans
are,
you
know
they
stick
together
and
they
will
vote
to
kill
a
bill
and
we've
seen
it.
We
saw
it
last
session.
L
Thank
you,
you're
welcome
the
oh
and
then
there's
one
other
thing
as
well.
L
Some
of
the
Senate
Democrats
the
year
before
in
2020
two
had
issue
with
the
idea
of
like
a
state
level
body
being
able
to
meet
virtually,
and
so
this
year
they
really
tried
to
hone
the
bill
into
just
you
know:
commissions
like
the
Aging
commission,
those
you
know,
local
advisory
bodies,
but
some
of
the
members
there
still
really
feel
like
everyone
needs
to
be
in
person,
and
that,
if
you
sign
up
to
serve
on
a
you
know
advisory
body,
you
should
be
able
to
be
there.
L
L
Okay,
any
other
questions,
awesome.
Okay,
so
then
the
other
big
piece
of
the
package
had
to
do
with
the
tenant
landlord
right.
So
in
nvn's
package
they
talked
a
lot
about
the
ability
for
an
increase
of
5
to
14
days
after
the
mandatory
waiting
period
when
a
landlord
serves
a
tenant
notice
of
writing
for
non-payment
of
rent,
so
to
basically
increase
that
the
amount
of
time
that
a
tenant
and
a
landlord
had
before
the
eviction
process
starts.
L
And
so,
although
that
bill
wasn't
necessarily
passed
in
that
exact
form,
we
did
have
three
other
tenant
landlord
bills
that
did
successfully
pass
so
I
just
wanted
to
quickly
share
those.
L
So
we
have
the
the
kind
of
a
version
of
rent
increase,
so
HP
1702,
which
I
believe
was
carried
by
delegate
Michelle
Maldonado,
basically
says
that
if
you
are
a
landlord
and
you
own
more
than
four
rental
units,
then
you
must
give
your
tenants
at
at
least
a
60-day
notice
that
their
rent
is
going
to
be
increased.
So,
although
it's
not
what
you'd
ask
for
it's,
you
know
we're
still
trying
to
make
a
little
bit
of
moves
in
this
direction.
L
Another
one
we
also
hb2441
did
extend
eviction
notices
from
month
to
month
tenants.
So
it
required
any
owner
of
a
multi-family
premise
that
fails
to
renew
the
either
20
or
more
month-to-month,
Tendencies
or
50
percent
of
the
month
to
month,
Tennessee's
or
tenancies.
L
Within
a
consecutive
30-day
period,
they
have
to
give
a
60-day
notice
allowing
residents
to
know
that
their
tenancy
is
going
to
expire,
but
it
does
exempt
a
landlord
from
the
60-day
notice
if
a
tenant
has
failed
to
pay
rent
so
again,
still
not
getting
at
the
goal
that
we're
trying
to
get
at
and
then
finally,
HV
1635
gives
a
refund
for
what
they're,
what's
now
defined
as
an
uninhabitable
dwelling
that
provides
a
tenant
May,
terminate
the
rental
agreement
and
receive
a
full
refund
of
all
deposits.
L
So
those
are
the
three
Lieutenant
landlord
bills
that
did
pass
like
I
said
again,
not
what
necessarily
was
in
the
NBN
package
that
I
know
you
all
wanted,
but
I
did
at
least
want
to
give
you
that
update.
A
Well,
Alana:
what
does
your
outlook
look
like
compared
to
delegate
Lopez's.
L
I'm
I'm
with
delegate
Lopez
I
am
very
optimistic
that,
hopefully
you
know
we'll
flip
the
house
and
you
know,
retain
the
Senate.
Obviously
we'll
still
have
the
governor
for
another
two
years,
since
he
serves
a
four-year
term,
but
we
will
just
have
to
wait
and
see.
L
So
if
you,
if
you're
active
in
campaigns
or
you
want
to
get
involved
in
campaigns,
you
know
you
can
reach
out
to
any
of
our
delegates
and
senators
in
Arlington
I
know
they
always
love
to
have
support,
whether
it
be
you
know,
door,
knocking
or
writing
postcards
or
you
know
how
helping
to
pass
out
signs
Etc.
L
So
even
phone
banking,
sometimes
so
I,
think
I.
Think
it's
gonna
be
a
exciting
year.
L
We
have
exciting
primaries
coming
up
in
June,
don't
forget
to
vote
and
I
think
you
know
we'll
we'll
see
what
happens
and
you
know
if
you
want
to
get
involved
in
our
package,
development
I
know
Herschel
would
love
to
have
you
know
lots
of
support
he's
really
wonderful
to
work
with,
and
so
you
know,
I
love
getting
to
work
with
all
of
you
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
your
priorities
do
end
up
in
our
legislative
package
every
year,
and
so
thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
great.
A
A
A
Okay,
the
next
order
of
business
is
to
approve
the
February
and
March
minutes
they
were
sent
to
you
in
advance.
Can
I
have
a
vote
to
on
the
February
minutes?
First,
so.
J
A
A
All
those
who
approved
of
the
minutes
say
bye.
All
those
opposed
all
right
and
I
apologize.
I
didn't
ask
for
any
extensions
in
either
case.
Are
there
any
extensions?
Okay,
the
March
minutes
are
approved
as
written.
Thank
you
so
very
much
for
taking
the
time
to
not
only
put
those
together,
but
also
to
give
us
the
chance
to
review
them
and
vote
on
them
all
right.
The
next
item
is
my
report
very
quickly.
There
were
a
couple
items
that
we
discussed
among
the
executive
committee
last
week.
A
First
of
all,
we
have
been
invited
and
Kate's
here
waiting
for
our
answer.
Vhc
Health
has
invited
us
to
serve
as
a
focus
group
in
their
Community.
Health
assessment
in
checking
was
the
dates,
the
one
that
we
feel
that
we
can
best
do
is
March
22nd
from
I'm
sorry,
May
22nd.
Thank
you
from
2
to
4.
A
P.M
does,
and
this
will
be
virtual,
it's
about
a
two-hour
session
and
we
will
be
able
to
provide
input
with
the
special
opportunity
on
behalf
of
the
Commission
on
Aging
and
our
various
committees
and
viewpoints,
particularly
focusing
on
health
related
issues.
A
Is
that
comfortable
with
everybody
on
the
program
all
right
so
Kate?
We
are
with
you
on
that
date,
yes,
Sharon.
Thank
you.
C
So
to
that
point,
that's
usually
the
time
that
the
Pio
committee
is
so
Kate.
We
were
also
wondering
if
people
who
ordinarily
attend
the
eio
committee
could
participate
at
the
same
time
and
we
kind
of
overlap
and
have
the
Pio
committee
at
that
time
be
the
same
time,
especially
given
the
nature
of
the
kinds
of
people
who
do
attend
the
Pio
committee
and
since
you're
a
member
of
that
as
well.
What
do
you
think.
I
M
M
During
this
focus
group
I
know,
Wendy
was
one
of
those
individuals
that
requested
that.
So
in
that
that
sounds
fine
to
me,
I,
don't
I
haven't
been
to
the
meet
your
committee
meeting
in
a
little
while
so
I'm,
not
sure
if
it's
anybody
Beyond,
you
know
the
the
folks
that
are
committee
members,
but
I
I,
don't
have
it.
We
don't
have
an
issue
with
that
as
long
as
it's
okay,
with
with
the
executive
board,
this
is
kind
of
your
the
opportunity
for
this
commission
to
give
voice.
C
A
D
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
confirm
and
I
I
appreciate
Kate's
comment
because
she
knows
I'm
interested
that
this
speaks
to
part
of
the
conversation
is
also
open
to
provide
input
on
how
dhc's
Community
Development
funds
are
appropriated,
so
I
I
think
it's
really
important
for
commission
and
commission
members
to
be
part
of
this
focus
group.
It's
a
great
opportunity.
Yeah.
M
Yeah
and
I
think
I'll
go
back
to
what
Adrian
said
when
he
introduced
us
to
the
group.
This
is
more
like
the
big
picture
issues
about
what
we
all
see
are
facing.
You
know
Health
Care
issues,
Equity
issues
facing
seniors
in
the
community.
It
is
not
so
much
like
what
do
you
think
of
the
VHC?
You
know
ER.
What
do
you
think
of
the
VHC?
It's
not
it's
not
going
to
be
VHC
specific
questions.
M
It
is
this
big
picture
for
you
to
provide
some
input
about
the
community
and
how,
as
an
entity,
you
know
we
can
all
work
together.
What
should
be
the
goals?
What
should
be
the
focus
as
we
move
forward
so
just
to
be
clear?
It's
not
looking
at
departments
across
VHC
and
offering
input
in
that.
It's
just
not
set
up
that
way
for
this
particular
Federal.
A
Thank
you
can
I
ask
you:
will
you
send
out
an
invitation
to
the
commission
or
to
to
us
and
we'll
distribute
it,
because
that
little
bit
of
information
I
think
is
extremely
important
so
that
our
focus
is
appropriate
for
what
your
needs
are?
Yeah.
M
Absolutely
yeah
and
again
I'm
gonna
go
back
and
get
that
those
details
about
there's
going
to
be
a
login
link.
You
know
for
everyone
and
so
we'll
get
that
out
and
again
that's
coming
from
the
Consulting
Group,
but
we'll
include
a
little
blurb
to
again
remind
you
about
the
what
this
is
really
looking
at.
I
M
It's
quite
Broad
and
we
can
go
over
that
as
part
of
the
the
setup,
but
it's
it's
obviously
all
of
Arlington
County
and
surrounding
communities
as
well
and
it's
you
know:
Fairfax
we've
got
entities
Fairfax
even
in
the
Loudon
across
the
board,
but
I
would
say
you
know.
Of
course
our
focus
is
really
Arlington
specific,
but
we
reach
beyond
that.
So,
but
it's
really
looking
at
again.
This
is
your
cure.
Community
perspective,
it's
not
it's,
not
a
VHC,
it's
just
as
a
entity,
given
our
tax
status.
M
We're
required
to
do
this
every
three
years,
I
believe
it's
either
two
or
three
I
could
be
wrong.
So
so
you
know
bring
bring
to
the
table
what
you
see
as
a
community
member
where
you're
sitting
and
what
you
think
are
the
issues.
A
A
Okay,
thank
you.
The
only
other
item
I
believe
I
need
to
report
today
is
that
we
are
moving
forward
with
putting
together
a
forum
for
the
Democratic
candidates
who
are
running
for
the
Arlington
County
Board,
and
here
are
some
of
the
details
that
we
have
worked
out
so
far.
We
are
still
working
on
many
other
details,
but
I
think
we're
moving
ahead.
First
of
all,
we
are
looking
at
a
date
of
sorry
I
think
it
was
May
18th
from
2
to
3
30.
It
will
be
a
physical
meeting.
A
It
will
be
at
Culpepper
Gardens,
which
has
agreed
to
be
a
co-sponsor
as
well
as
the
Arlington
neighborhood
Village,
which
has
agreed
to
be
a
co-sponsor.
What
that
means
and
why
that
is
important
is
we
will
actually
be
in
a
location.
That's
not
only
a
polling
site,
but
has
older
adults
can
come
and
ask
questions,
although
it
should
be
open
to
the
public.
A
Secondly,
because
we
have
no
capacity
of
providing
the
information
on
what
our
written
questions
were,
there
would
be
no
way
to
get
out
the
responses
should
we
receive
them.
Anthony
Nunez
has
agreed
to
collect
questions
and
Cheryl
has
agreed
to
be
our
MC,
since
she
did
such
a
great
job
as
your
community.
Community
engagement
forum
and
Carlos
has
agreed
to
be
the
timekeeper,
because,
from
my
limit
experience
in
watching
some
of
the
candidates
think
aren't
as
sensitive
to
time
as
perhaps
they
could
be.
So
we
are.
A
This
is
still
kind
of
a
moving
Target
but
I
in
listening
to
one
of
the
first
forums
they
group
was
assembled
for,
and
there
was
nothing
that
had
to
do
with
any
issue
related
to
older
adults
and
so
I
think
it's
important
that
we
make
sure
that
we
share
what
we
think
our
questions
are.
A
We
will
reach
out
to
Commissioners
again.
We
want
to
leave
some
time.
We
don't
want
to
make
questions
too
complicated.
So
Anthony
has
a
big
job
of
kind
of
calling
things,
but
Anthony
we'll
figure
out
a
way
to
get
questions
directly
to
you
and
if
you
can
prepare
them
in
the
meantime,
we're
we're
still
working
on
the
logistics
The
Letter
of
Invitation
Will,
Go
On
from
Wendy,
Martin,
hope,
Ray
and
myself
to
the
to
the
various
folks
running.
A
Are
there
any
questions?
Did
you
mention
a
date
in.
A
We
are
looking
at
May
18th
from
2
to
3
30.,
that's
called
Shepherd
Garden,
okay
and
you
said
Democratic
candidates
yeah.
So
what
our
most
often
happens
in
Arlington
Virginia
is
that
you
have
a
big
castle
of
people
running
for
the
Democratic
position,
and
this
will
be
a
ranked
vote.
So
you'll
vote
for
you
can
vote
for
as
many
as
you
want
in
a
ranked
order,
and
there
will
be
two
individuals
who
that
are
on
the
who
are
then
on
the
on
the
ballot
in
November.
There
may
also
be
independent
candidates.
A
I
believe
100
clementus
announced
that
she's
running
and
they're
certain
they'll
be
Republican
candidates,
so
we
can
come
back
and
decide
if
we
want
to
do
this
again
if
it
works
for
us,
but
this
gives
us
a
chance
to
give
it
a
try.
Any
comments.
N
Hey
Linda
I
already
got
questions
from
Herschel
this
morning,
so
I'm
already
beginning
the
process,
so
everybody
as
they
send
me
their
questions,
I'll
I'll
start
the
process.
A
And
Audrey
has
sent
you
one
also
and
I
think
what
we're
going
to
do
is
try
to
be.
A
Listening
opportunity
will
need
to
be
as
general
as
possible
because,
frankly,
these
folks
don't
really
know
any
of
the
significant
details
that
we
work
on.
So
Audrey
has
sent
a
question
to
you,
I
believe
as
well,
that
relates
to
housing,
yeah.
A
Terrific
okay,
so
this
is
an
opportunity
for
the
other
areas
in
age
friendly
to
provide
a
question
or
two
and
send
them
to
Anthony
I.
A
J
J
A
But
that
was
the
only
question
this
was
asked
and
it
was
quite
painful
at
the
Civic
Federation
meeting
to
re-legislate
and
religiously
and
religiously.
So,
yes,
and
perhaps
I'll
tell
you
what
perhaps
we
can
include
that
into
the
invitation.
How
long
do
you
all
need
to
submit
a
question
to
Anthony
and
Anthony?
How
how
fast
would
you
be
able
to?
J
I
tried
to
cover
all
the
topics.
Subject.
Theory
is
I,
could
think
of
okay
but
I'm,
not
an
expert
in
any
of.
A
Them
so
well,
I
think
you
have
lots
of
experience,
that's
fantastic!
Let's,
let's
say
if
you
have
any
questions
for
Anthony
today
is
the
17th.
If
we
gave
you
until
the
21st
the
end
of
this
week
to
send
a
question,
if
you
have
them
to
Anthony,
and
if
you
need
more
time,
you
can
just
let
them
know
I
need
another
day
or
so
and
then
Anthony
if
you'll
compile
them
and
let's
say
about
May
1st,
you
provide
us
with
your
list.
Is
that
fair
and
then
we'll
just
I
think
what
rehearsal
I'm?
A
Sorry,
yes,
okay,
great
and
then
by
then
we'll.
You
know
we'll
see
what
happens
that
we
I
hope
we'll
get
a
positive
response.
It
doesn't
hurt
to
ask
so
so
the
21st,
if
you
have
any
questions
due
to
Anthony
and
then
the
first
Anthony.
If
you'll
share
your
questions
with
me,
that
would
be
great.
C
A
And
I
think
well,
maybe
we
can
share
on
the
First
with
all
the
all
the
chairs
of
the
Committees.
N
I
would
say,
don't
worry
about
duplicating
others,
questions
I,
think
if
you
know
I
get
a
lot
of
the
same
questions.
I
think
those
will,
you
know,
be
ones
that
kind
of
go
up
the
priority
list.
So
you
know
don't
worry
about
having
to
communicate
with
other
Commissioners.
What
you
know
questions
they
submitted
just
submit
what
you
want,
and
you
know
if
it
correlates
or
lines
up
with
what
others
have
sent
that'll
just
bump
it
more
to
the
top.
So
that's
the
only
note
I'd
add.
A
I
think
that's
fine,
although
I,
you
know,
you
know
some
of
the
Committees,
probably
so
they're
they're
just
one
but
we'll
work
that
out
I,
don't
think!
That's.
J
A
problem
I
thought
that
Cheryl
would
actually
want
to
be
able
to
to
change
things
on
the
fly.
Yeah
right.
A
And
some
very
particular
questions
I'm
certain
I,
don't
know
if
Marta
is
able
to
carry
back
the
information
on
the
loop,
but
that
is
the
kind
of
question
that
can
help.
Folks
would
ask
as
well
they're
very
concerned
about
that,
because
they
appreciate
that
service.
So
much
anyway,
we
are
moving
along,
we'll
see
what
happens.
We'll
hope
that
they
don't
say
no
thank
you
to
us
and
if
they
do
we'll
certainly
report
that
to
you
as
well.
A
That
is
my
report.
Unless
there
are
any
questions.
C
Yeah
I
was
just
going
to
follow
up
on
one
discussion
item
we
had
at
the
executive
committee,
and
that
was
whether
or
not
the
senior
ambassador
program
presentation
could
occur
in
July
and
thanks
to
Wendy,
Zanker
and
Michelle
McMahon.
They
have
both
agreed
that
they
will
be
presenters
that
are
into
my
meeting.
A
A
And
another
note,
thank
you
so
much
for
that.
We
agreed
that
housing
would
be
the
topic
for
the
June
meeting,
which
will
be
June
26th.
The
July
17th
meeting
will
be
a
presentation
on
where
we
are
with
the
senior
ambassador
program.
A
So
again
that
is
a
fulfillment
of
our
one
of
our
goals,
which
is
to
get
the
age
friendly
committees
and
their
activities
out
there.
So
we
can
hear
about
them
and
also
talk
about
what
the
challenges
are.
So
that's
delightful
and
Audrey.
Thank
you
for
being
our
housing
and
Supportive
Services.
Chair
really
appreciate
that
very
much
and
stepping
forward
anything
else.
I
miss
okay.
We
are
now
going
to
move
on
to
staff
reports
all
right
thanks.
H
Good
morning,
everyone,
it's
good
to
see
all
of
you,
those
of
you
here
in
person,
as
well
as
online
I,
want
to
start
today.
A
First
of
all,
by
expressing
my
thanks
for
everyone's
help
in
making
the
community
engagement
Forum
a
huge
success.
This
year
we
had
probably
record
participation
whether
it
was
in
person,
people
participating
via
Zoom
or
at
our
two
Satellite
sites,
one
at
Culpepper
garden
and
also
the
other
at
Hunter's,
Park,
and
so
just
want
to
thank
everybody
who
was
involved
in
the
planning
of
those
of
you
that
attended
as
well,
and
so
we'll
look
forward
to
seeing
what
we
can
do
even
better
next
year.
A
I
do
have
some
positive
news
to
report
on
the
Agency
on
Aging
budget.
For
next
year
we
met
with
DARS
on
the
31st
of
March,
where
we
were
provided
an
updated
view
of
what
the
2024
budget
is
going
to
look
like
and
I'm,
just
really
happy
to
say
that
it
looks
like
we
will
actually
have
an
increase
in
funds
instead
of
the
eight
percent
decrease
that
we
have
been
anticipating
and
so
a
couple
of
couple
factors
that
have
played
into
the
change
since
December.
A
First
of
all,
they've
used
updated,
ACS
data,
so
when
they
did
the
projections
back
in
December,
it
was
the
2014
to
2018
ACS
data.
They
have
now
run
it
against
the
2050
to
2019
ACX
data,
which
is
what
they
would
be
using
when
they
do
that
final
allocation,
and
so
that
tipped
a
little
bit
in
our
favor
the
demographics
shipped
every
year.
A
There's
also
changes
to
the
definitions
of
what
a
medically
underserved
area
is
and
Arlington
believe
it
or
not,
is
now
classified
as
a
medically
underserved
area
Okay.
So
we're
going
to
get
a
little
bit
of
additional
funds
and
health
promotion
in
the
health
promotion
bucket.
A
Because
of
that,
and
then
there
is
also
an
increase
in
older
Americans
act,
funding
primarily
in
the
home,
delivered
meals
bucket
and
so,
which
is
good
news,
because
our
home
delivered
meals
program
is
one
of
probably
our
biggest
expenses
and
so
grateful
to
see
that
that
there's
some
additional
funding
there,
the
numbers
the
way
they
calculated
it
does
not
factor
in
yet
the
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars.
That
is
in
the
budget
amendment
that
is
still
in
play.
That
Alfonso
spoke
about.
A
If
by
some
chance
that
does
pass,
that
would
also
be
then
potentially
an
extra
forty
six
hundred
dollars
in
our
state
funds
and
so
would
tip
that
bucket
to
be
a
positive
as
well.
So
things
are
looking
a
little
bit
brighter
on
the
budget
fund
and
that's
making
me
happy.
A
We
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
changes
to
the
senior
Farmers
Market
program.
It's
very
exciting
this
year,
we're
not
only
increasing
the
income
eligibility
but
we'll
also
have
more
coupons
to
distribute
this
year.
So
there'll
be
information
coming
out
about
that
very
soon.
The
program
is
slated
to
start
June
1st,
our
aging
and
disability.
A
Resource
Center
is
seeing
continuing
to
see
large
numbers
of
requests
for
financial
assistance,
but
we're
also
starting
to
see
a
significant
increase
in
the
request
for
food
assistance,
and
so
things
like
referrals
to
the
Arlington
food
assistance
center,
the
food
bank
and
also
to
Meals
on
Wheels,
and
we
believe
that
this
is
in
part
due
to
the
end
of
the
snap
emergency
allocations.
Those
ended
in
February.
A
The
last
allotment
was
sent
in
March,
and
so
people
have
now
returned
to
the
pre-pandemic
levels
of
snap
allocations
and
it
is
causing
a
lot
of
stress
and
anxiety
on
the
food
budgets
and
then
my
final
update
is
DARS
has
now
released
the
draft
state
plan
on
Aging
for
the
period
of
October,
1st
2023
to
September
30th
2027,
so
the
next
four
year,
their
four-year
plan
will
be
developing
this
summer.
Our
four-year
plan
that
aligns
with
that,
but
also
with
the
needs
of
Arlington.
A
So
this
draft
plan
is
available
for
public
comment.
I
sent
out
the
link
to
the
site
where
it
is
available
in
the
read
ahead,
materials.
A
So
there
is
a
virtual
hearing
scheduled
for
tomorrow,
that's
April
18th,
and
then
you
can
also
provide
written
or
online
comment
to
it.
There
are
instructions
on
that
link
that
I
sent
and
all
public
comment
is
due
by
May
the
5th,
so
I
would
encourage
you
to
take
a
look
at
it.
I
think
the
first
part
of
it
is
35
pages,
but
then,
when
all
the
appendices
in
there
it's
pushing
several
hundred
pages.
So
if
you
have
time,
do
take
a
look
at
it.
A
If
you
want
to
make
public
comment,
I
would
encourage
you
to
do
so.
Any
questions
for
me,
yeah
I,
do
have
a
question.
It
is
a
when
I
opened
it
and
I
started
to
read
it.
It's
many
pages
and
so
I
would
ask
if
there
is
anything
in
particular,
you
want
us
to
focus
on
as
a
commission
in
anticipation
and
perhaps
writing
a
comment
or
providing
public
comment.
A
I
A
All
right,
let
us
know
as
the
Committees
meet,
if
you
think
there
is
relevance
in
making
a
comment
that
the
commission
submits.
Let
us
know
I,
know
I,
think
I,
don't
know
how.
Many
years
ago
it
was
I,
went
and
and
I
think
I
communicated
asking
for
an
increase
in.
What's
it
called
the
the
waiver
right,
the.
F
A
Can
certainly
get
subscribers.
There
are
some
subjects
like
that
that
are
broader,
but
they
also
you
know
and
looking
at
your
age,
friendly
you're
trying
to
get
a
little
bit
of
traction
for
an
issue
and
they
haven't
gotten
there.
Perhaps
at
least
this
is
a
time
can
call
that
to
attention
among
stars
as
we
go
forward
right
Anthony
did
you
have
a
question.
N
Yes,
I
do
I,
have
two
questions:
Helen
I
guess
the
first
one
was
what
really
went
into
getting
Arlington
classified
as
a
medically
underserved
area.
I
was
curious
if
you
could
elaborate
on
that.
For
us.
A
N
Last
question
you
mentioned
now
that
so
we
initially
thought
we
were
going
to
have
a
decrease
and
I
think
in
the
last
meeting
or
the
previous
one
we
were
discussing
that
you
know
Home
Care
hours,
that
the
AAA
offers
for
older
adults
was
going
to
be
cut,
hours
were
going
to
be
reduced.
Is
that
no?
So
that
seems
like
it's
now
kind
of
the
flip
size,
so
our
hours
not
going
to
be
cut
anymore,
our
service
day
is
not
going
to
be
cut.
F
Yeah,
that's
a
great
question,
and
so
the
funding
will
be
a
part
of
the
a
lot
of
this
will
come
into
Federal
funding.
So
the
state
fiscal
year
is
tied
to
the
County
fiscal
year,
which
starts
July
1st
and
then
the
the
funding
that
will
get
the
federal
funding.
We
have
access
to
that
on
October
1st
we
have
had
to
make
reductions
to
the
Community
Living
Program,
just
because
of
the
increasing
cost
of
the
service
and
as
well
as
the
increasing
demand.
F
So
we
need
some
reductions
that
went
into
effect
April
1st,
but
we
are
planning
to
evaluate
everyone's
starting
in
June,
something
else
tied
to
the
public
health
unwinding.
Is
we
had
more
flexibilities
of
what
was
considered
homebound?
F
F
Anything
we
are
we're
going
to
do,
re-evaluate
everyone
who's
connected
to
the
program,
that's
over
450
individuals,
but
we've
also
had
some
one-time
funding
through
the
the
state
that
came
through
the
Agency
on
Aging
that
we
brought
in
a
temporary
certified
Nurses
Aide,
who
is
doing
some
check-in
services,
so
we're
trying
to
have
as
minimal
impact
on
the
people
that
we
serve
while
recognizing
that
we're
we're
glad
there
there's
pretty
much
a
maintaining
of
the
funding,
but
it's
still
not
enough,
and
so
we
will.
N
So
I
guess
funding
will
still
be.
Ours
will
still
be
reduced
for
that
for
those
older
adults
or
it
will
not.
N
F
We
went
through
our
nursing
case
manager,
who
also
manages
the
Community
Living
Program
Fiona
elac
went
through
each
and
every
person
all
450,
those
who
may
benefit
from
a
higher
level
of
service.
Like
Medicaid
waiver.
They
were
referred
to
that
service.
Some
were
connected
to
other
programs.
Some
individuals
were
connected
to
the
temporary
staff
person
for
a
check-in
service,
but
some
individuals
were
reduced
in
their
number
of
hours.
N
Okay,
is
there
anything
we
can
do
to
you
know
as
as
Commissioners
to
kind
of
help
you
know
on
that?
You
know.
Obviously,
if
there's
an
increase
in
funding,
we
I
guess
the
assumption
would
be
that
there's
not
going
to
be
a
reduction,
but
there's
still
a
reduction
in
hours.
What
can
we
do
as
Commissioners?
N
You
know
to
help
there
I
just
feel
like
they're,
you
know
and
I'm
also
still
concerned
with
May
11th.
You
know
and
a
lot
of
the
Medicaid
recipients
that
are
going
to
be
rolled
off
of
Medicaid
if
you
know
we're
reducing
hours
for
the
450
that
we
currently
serve
and
there's
additional
individuals
that
may
need
to
be
served
from
that
roll
off.
You
know,
what's
going
to
happen
there
to
those
individuals,
so
that
that's
kind
of
the
angle
I'm
asking
for.
F
Oh
no
I
think
one
is
advocacy,
we're
about
you
know
providing
you
the
information
and
it's
not
all
450.,
it's
individuals
who
we
evaluated
that
we
could
safely
make
a
reduction
in
hours
or
increase
their
services
through
an
alternative
program,
but
it's
it's
through
the
the
DARS,
the
the
release
of
the
state
plan.
It's
advocacy
through
things
like
the
legislative
committee.
F
The
budget
and
shared
calendar
did
a
great
job
and
mentioned
this
during
the
DHS
work
session,
but
it
it
is
a
combination
of
not
just
local
funding.
We
also
need
state
and
federal
funding
that
we're
currently
utilizing
to
be
able
to
meet
the
growing
demand
for
this.
This
service.
N
Okay,
I'll
connect
with
Herschel
offline
related
to
that,
because
that
sounds
that's
relevant
for
the
nban
agenda.
Although
that
seems
like
it's
a
ways
out:
I'm,
not
really
sure
that
that's
going
to
happen
in
a
in
a
timely
manner,
but
thanks
Rachel
well.
F
D
Yeah,
just
a
quick
comment
and
back
to
the
state
plan
we're
a
little
late.
We
Villages
are
a
little
late
to
the
party,
but
I
just
wanted
to
give
folks
a
heads
up
that
we
do
plan.
There's
a
group
of
Virginia
Villages
that
is
going
to
try
to
sort
of
up.
They
upgrade
our
advocacy
efforts
to
look
to
explore.
You
know
more
villages
in
all
of
Virginia.
This
is
not
about
an
Arlington
County
issue,
but
rather
a
recognition.
D
Much
as
the
conversation
we're
having
right
now,
money's
tight.
The
demand
is
only
going
to
be
growing.
How
do
we
meet
that
demand
and
we
think
that
bill
you
know
volunteer
provided
Services
can
help
offset
the
pressure
that's
placed
on
on
budgets
across
Virginia.
So
we
are
going
to
be
making
comments
that
the
state
plan
over
the
next
five
years
should
recognize
and
try
to
help.
Virginia
communities
grow,
The,
Village
movement,
so
we
can
have
more
volunteers
trying
to
help
older
adults
as
they
age
in
in
place
and
I'm.
D
A
Wendy,
that's
great.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
making
that
comment
and
building
a
partnership
throughout
the
stage.
I
think
that's
really
important.
The
value
of
volunteerism
any
other
comments
at
this
point.
F
Okay,
well
I,
guess
good
morning
again
and
just
it's
great
to
see
everyone
in
person
I
think
it's
been
three
years
since
we've
been
in
this
room
and
I
want
to
give
a
special
shout
out
to
our
friends
in
Culpepper
Garden,
it's
lovely
to
see
you
all
echoing
Helen
again.
Just
thank
you
for
your
help
with
the
community
engagement
Forum.
It
was
a
big
success
and
we're
we're
excited
to
see
these
continued
Partnerships
and
connections,
and
just
a
few
updates
that
I
have.
F
We
have
seen
an
increase
across
the
board
in
all
of
our
the
services
connected
to
our
community
supports
and
coordination.
One
of
the
biggest
ones
that
we
continue
to
see
is
for
Adult
Protective
Services.
We
had
a
record
number
of
reports
and
investigations
for
the
February
for
the
month
of
February
that
we're
continuing
to
see
at
a
very
high
volume.
We
do
have
a
vacancy
now
in
Adult
Protective
Services,
that
is
posted
on
the
County
website.
F
I
do
want
to
give
a
shout
out,
though,
especially
to
our
Adult
Services
and
Adult
Protective
Services
teams,
even
with
the
the
high
volume
and
the
short
staffing,
our
Adult
Services
team,
of
sort
of
social
workers
as
well
as
our
nurses
achieved
100
compliance
with
Medicaid
waiver
best
screenings.
These
are
screenings
that
they're
assessed
by
a
social
worker
and
a
nurse
for
someone
who
qualifies
for
Medicaid
to
receive
in-home
services.
We
are
averaging
I
think
about
32
per
month.
F
You
can
receive
services
in
the
home
or
if
you
need
criteria
for
long-term
care,
it
could
be
assisted,
living
or
nursing
home.
We
have
30
days
from
the
day
a
request
to
screening,
and
so
the
team
has
been
doing
just
an
amazing
job
in
achieving
that
state.
Compliance
of
100
percent
I
see
Denise
on
the
call
and
I
want
to
give
Denise
a
shout
out.
F
Denise
is
our
guardianship
coordinator
and
yes,
I
guess,
whichever
of
the
three
screens
we
have
in
here,
but
our
guardianships
through
through
devisa's
hard
work
and
achievements.
Guardianships
the
delinquency
rate
is
down
to
3.6
percent,
which
is
truly
phenomenal
and
it
just
speaks
to
heightened
it.
Just
speaks
to
heart,
her
hard
work,
her
efforts
and
really
the
need
and
the
benefit
of
having
this
position.
Denise
often
goes
above
and
beyond
providing
case
management,
care
coordination
and
support
to
the
guardians,
but
we're
also
recruiting.
F
So
if
anyone
is
interested
in
serving
as
a
guardian
of
under
my
Buddhist
leadership,
there's
a
really
phenomenal
online
training.
There
there's
a
lot
of
support,
but
this
is
such
a
meaningful
and
impactful
way
to
volunteer
your
time
and
then
I
did
want
to
just
also
mention
we
are
seeing
a
really
high
increase
in
the
experiences
of
older
adults
in
homelessness
or
housing.
Instability.
F
Last
week,
in
one
day
alone,
we
had
back-to-back
evictions
of
older
adults,
and
then
we
had
another
call
from
the
hospital
of
someone
who
was
unhoused
and
their
family
dropped
them
off
just
at
the
hospital.
They
had
no
access
to
really
any
other
types
of
benefits
or
services,
but
any
elevation
of
homelessness
and
the
needs
and
the
advocacy,
particularly
for
our
older
adults.
There
is
a
need
for
really
wrap
around
services,
but
it
is
a
really
heartbreaking
issue,
and
so
we
appreciate
having
the
opportunity
to
Spotlight
this.
F
At
the
June
commission
meeting,
but
we're
also
striving
to
get
more
involved
and
be
invited
to
meetings
like
the
Continuum
of
care
to
be
able
to
elevate
the
issues
that
we're
seeing
with
our
older
adults
and
then
I
will
turn
it
over
to
maimuna.
Who
I
know
has
another
meeting.
So
my
moon,
if
you
want
to
give
updates
and
then
we'll
we'll
pause
for
questions.
F
P
I
just
wanted
to
report
that
from
a
DHS
Department
of
Human
Services
standpoint,
we
are
still
undergoing
centering
race
and
we
have
recently
completed
our
division,
along
with
the
other
four
divisions
within
the
department,
a
SWOT
analysis,
which
is
strengths,
weaknesses,
opportunities
and
threats
and
looking
at
them
across
employment
procurement
and
finance.
P
Community
engagement,
which
this
commission
does
such
a
wonderful
job,
with
also
with
the
one
more
that
I
am
forgetting
Service
delivery,
and
so
we
have
embarked
on
this
to
roll
up
to
the
strategic
planning
effort
for
the
Department
under
Anita
Friedman's
leadership.
The
idea
is
to
evaluate
where
our
strengths,
where
our
opportunities
where
our
threats
are
and
then
rolled,
that
up
into
a
strategic
plan
for
the
future
for
the
Department,
also
as
Rachel
mentioned
just
to
piggyback
all
of
our
programs
are
really
seeing
a
spike
in
Acuity
levels.
P
Referrals
we're
caring
pending
Referral
List,
where
people
are
waiting
to
be
served
because
the
demand
is
extremely
high
and,
as
you
can
imagine,
the
pandemic
years,
just
exacerbated
things,
and
so
our
senior
adult
mental
health
program
is
also
experiencing
a
higher
higher
volume
of
referrals
managing
through
their
Same
Day
Access,
which
is
coming
in
and
getting
intake
assessments.
P
Sometimes
those
assessments
take
three
hours
to
then
schedule
them
for
the
psychiatrists,
the
nurse
and
assign
them
if
they
meet
the
criteria
so
they're
seeing
an
all-time
high
and
they're
very
small
staff,
team
of
four
full-time
clinicians
and
two
part-time
clinicians,
and
then
one
clinician
that
is
exclusively
dedicated
to
developmental
disabilities
and
providing
Clinical
Services,
because
that
is
a
specialized
population.
That
requires
a
unique
approach
to
Clinical
Services,
so
they
are
seeing
they're,
really
feeling
it
and
so
I.
Thank
you
for
all
the
advocacy
that
you
do.
P
This
is
probably
no
greater
time
than
now
to
continue
your
advocacy
efforts
and
then
I
also
just
want
to
mention
overall
I'm,
very
pleased
with
our
division.
Through
the
pandemic
years,
I
have
reported
that
we've
had
a
really
an
uptick
in
our
turnover
and
Staffing,
but
I'm
really
pleased
to
say
that
we
have
two
vacancies
in
in
the
entire
division.
One
Rachel
mentioned,
and
then
one
with
our
developmental
services-
and
that
is
I
would
say
that
in
today's
market
and
Workforce,
that
is
extremely
positive.
P
And
so
we
are
very
pleased
and
I
am
going
to
be
recruiting
for
interns
again,
because
interns
do
help
one.
We
love
to
be
able
to
offer
opportunities
for
training,
raising
awareness,
having
the
love
of
working
with
older
adults
having
that
passion
and
being
inspired,
but
it
also
helps
us
to
offset
when
we
have
special
projects,
and
sometimes
they
go
on
the
bottom
of
the
to-do
list,
for
our
staff
and
interns
gravitate
to
special
projects
and
really
do
a
remarkable
job
and
then
also
learning
about
our
day-to-day
operations
and
being
actively
engaged.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Maimuna
I
think
it
is
really
helpful
for
us
to
understand
that
some
of
the
needs
that
are
ongoing
in
the
larger
Department
I
think
some
of
our
needs
overlap
with
disability
services.
So
that's
great
too,
that
you
can
help
us
understand
what
those
needs
are
as
well.
Does
anybody
have
any
questions
for
my
Luna
before
she
rushes
off
to
her
next
meeting
she's
about
long-term
care
before
she
leaves?
Oh,
my
goodness,
do
you
want
to
cover
the
long-term
care
committee
meeting
before
you
leave.
P
Sure,
thank
you
very
briefly.
I
I
think
it
was
one
of
our
high
points
for
the
last
long-term
care
liaison
committee,
which
was
just
last
Thursday,
where
we
had
our
very
first
Roundtable
exchange
among
the
providers,
the
administrators,
the
executive
directors
of
our
nursing
and
assisted
living
communities.
They
were
all
invited.
Unfortunately,
none
of
our
nursing
home
administrators
were
able
to
make
it,
but
we
were
able
to
record
the
The
Exchange.
We
did
have
almost
a
hundred
percent
of
our
Assisted
Living
executive
directors.
P
It
was
a
really
rich
dialogue
and
we
focused
as
a
committee
on
the
Lessons
Learned
out
of
covid.
How
have
those
lessons
carried
over
to
daily
practice?
What
are
some
of
the
best
practices
that
exist
across
the
communities
that
serve
as
a
strength
and
an
opportunity?
And
then
how
could
we
strengthen
our
collaboration
across
the
committee,
the
Commission
on
Aging,
the
division
with
the
communities?
So
we
got
a
lot
of
great
feedback
and
one
of
the
things
that
even
we're
talking
about
now
is
mental
health
and
having
training
and
support
around
mental
health.
P
H
A
I
think
we
lost
you
yeah,
so
so
I
will
finish
having
been
at
the
meeting
and
I'll
ask
Audrey.
If
she
has
anything
she
wants
to
add
or
Kathy.
A
There
is
a
heightened
concern
about
mental
health
or
continues
to
be
a
heightened
concern,
and
the
beauty
of
this
meeting
really
was
that
it
got
administrators
who
normally,
who
work
for
private
entities
as
well
as
nonprofit
entities
together.
Have
that
conversation?
So
if
that's
all
right,
my
moon
and
dear
I'm,
going
to
move
on
to.
Let
you
go
to
your
next
meeting.
I
hope,
I,
hope
that
conveys.
O
A
Great
ideas,
thank
you
Kathy,
so
now
that
we
have
at
least
a
glimpse
of
the
information
we're
starting
to
develop
our
area
plan,
and
so
that
is
one
of
the
things
that
we'll
have
to
report
on
is
how
we're
going
to
use
those.
A
That's
great.
Thank
you.
Thanks
for
bringing
that
up
all
right,
we're
going
to
move
on,
we
are
scheduled
or
we
were
scheduled
at
10
o'clock
and
it's
almost
11
to
have
a
break
so
I'm
going
to
suggest
that
if
you
need
a
break,
please
take
one
we're
going
to
continue
to
move
on
in
the
interest
of
time.
A
We
haven't
met
yet
we're
meeting
tomorrow,
so
we
haven't
met
since
all
of
the
work
we
did
on
the
middle
missing
middle
housing
letter,
so
I
don't
have
much
to
report.
Our
meeting
tomorrow
is
open
to
everyone
and
I
would
encourage
anyone
who
has
an
interest
in
housing,
it's
to
sorry
from
three
to
four
or
Thirty,
and
it's
on
teams.
A
We're
gonna
review
the
current
Five-Year
Plan
and
start
discussing
what
we
want.
The
next
Five-Year
Plan
to
look
like
we're
going
to
discuss
potential
topics
for
and
speakers
for
the
next
year,
Cindy's
going
to
give
us
an
update
on
the
sunrise
in
Oregon,
so
Bluemont,
well,
I'm,
sorry,
sunrise,
North
and
South,
we're
hoping
in
the
South
to
get
some
assistant,
affordable.
A
Have
said,
no
from
my
understanding
for
the
north
units,
Rachel
asked
us
building
on
what
she
said.
A.
A
A
A
Thank
you
and
the
information
about
the
teams
is
on
the
calendar
that
you
can
access
through
the
Commission
on
Aging
page
in
case,
and
anybody
who
got
the
invitation
from
Helen
it's
on
the
calendar,
so
she's
such
a
great.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
as
always,
I'm
grateful
bye
any
questions
of
Audrey
before
we
move
on
okay,
legislative
person,
okay,.
J
I
just
noticed
by
the
way
in
the
questions
I
sent
out,
one
of
them
had
to
do
with
transportation
and
I
said
subsidies.
People
who
have
a
car
that
left
out
who
are
don't.
A
G
J
Right,
first
of
all,
when
Linda
what
what
is
your
last,
the
as
chair.
A
J
I
was
going
to
suggest
to
William
that
he
might
want
to
started
attending
envy
and
Justice,
at
least
through
September,
because
you're
going
to
be
a
chair,
yeah
I,
think
I
attended
one
within
the
last
quarters.
It
well
September
Arlington
the
Arlington
chair,
whoever
that
is
the
commission
will
will
be
the
chair
of
the
meeting.
Okay,
the
staff
I'm
sure
it
will
date
and
that
you
need
to
know,
but.
J
Yeah
the
meeting
the
next
meeting
is
tomorrow
and
that's
what
they
call
for
brainstorming
meeting
where
people
just
put
out
ideas
for
what
might
be
in
the
platform.
J
The
three
legislative
three
budget
items
for
next
year
and
following
months
we
vote
on
it
and
and
I
would
suggest
anybody
who
who's
interested,
who
might
be
interested
should
come
to
those
two
meetings
because
to
give
them
appreciation
for
how
the
platform
is
put
together,
because
when
it
finally
comes
out
in
the
grip
card,
it
looks
coherent.
J
But
it's
hard
to
believe
they're,
given
the
process
that
it
is
coherent.
But
it
does
end
up
being
that
so
anyway,
tomorrow
people
will
just
make
suggestions
for
things
that
the
end
band
and.
J
And
and
the
meetings
I'm
sure
will
will
never
be
in
person
again,
because
you
know
people
from
Western,
County,
I'm
sure
much
happier
sit
in
their
office
or
at
home.
J
Inviting
the
the
morning
traffic
so.
A
Is
it
eight
or
what
time
is
it
like?
Yeah.
A
Now
well,
I
just
want
to
add
my
thank
you
for
organizing
and
making
sure
that
delegate
Lopez
was
here
today
at
Alana.
I
think
these
are
really
important
for
us
to
hear
from
the
delegates
and
a
lot
of
the
work
that
Herschel
does
with
both
nban
and
he's
got
a
lot
of
Partners
in
the
prime.
A
But
it's
an
incredible
amount
of
work
and
very
well
done
so
that
by
the
time
that
little
card
with
the
the
list
of
nban
priorities,
there
is
a
holy
thought
through
background
paper
on
each
topic
that
is
delegated
from
our
whole
organization.
That
whole
and
Van
organization
participates
in
in
many
ways.
So
thank
you
Herschel
for
today,
as
well
as
advanced
coordination.
J
It
and
it's
people
who
are
interested
in
aging
issues
from
the
from
Loudon
Prince,
William,
Fairfax
counties
and
Arlington
and
Alexandria,
and
that's
it's
not
a
government
or
an
official
body,
so
it
can
be
doing
soon.
J
A
A
G
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
as
far
as
the
walking
School
Bus,
we
have
a
fabulous
new
website
thanks
to
the
alliance
and
for
the
Community,
Foundation
and
so
I
do
encourage
all
to
go
to
the
website
friendsofthealliance.org
and
take
a
look
at
oh,
the
walking
school
bus.
It's
really
quite
great,
nothing
more
really
to
discuss
other
than
to
say
that
we
are
expanding
to
other
areas
of
Arlington
and
talking
with
the
housing
Arlington
Housing
Corporation
in
as
well
as
Apple.
So
anyway,
more
on
that
in
May
excellent.
A
G
A
C
There
really
isn't
much
involverted
already.
First
of
all
in
terms
of
the
main
meeting,
that's
going
to
be
in
connection
with
the
Virginia
Hospital
Center
activity
on
May,
22nd
and
I,
also
and
and
the
other
part
is
about
the
senior
ambassador
program
which
will
be
featured
in
July.
So
that's
about
all
I
have
to
say
right
now,
perfect.
A
J
Okay,
well,
let
me
start
with
the
Transportation
Commission
report
from
tell
them
the
bad
news
about
taxi
fare.
A
So
the
increase
would
be
from
three
dollars
to
350
for
the
drop
charge
you're
already
charged
that
when
they
get
there
an
additional
one
for
the
one,
sixth
of
a
mile
charge
from
36
Cents
to
40
cents
and
the
taxi
cab
wait
time
charge
from
36
Cents
to
40
cents
for
56
seconds
I.
Don't
know
why.
A
Why
is
it
60
seconds?
Okay,
and
this
is
under
the
Arlington
code,
that
is
a
chapter
25
which
is
taxi
cabs.
So
if
this
goes
through
and
then
the
County
Board
improves
the
increase,
it
would
go
into
effect
on
the
line
first
and
the
other
thing
was
an
information
item
on
the
master
Transportation
plan
and
nothing
has
been
officially
done
yet.
But
work
is
beginning
to
come
up
with
a
proposal
to
update
the
master
Transportation
plan
and
the
these
reasons
were
given
that
supposedly
the
master
Transportation
plan
no
longer
fully
reflects.
A
A
So
if
this
does
go
through
the
County
Board
eventually
it
would
be
something
that
would
be
like
an
18-month
study
and
is
approved.
Nothing
has
happened
yet,
but
then
this
would
be
the
guide
for
the
next
20
years
in
transportation.
A
So
I
think
that
the
Commission
on
Aging
is
going
to
want
to
remember
presented
when
that
study
gets
started.
J
Yes,
there
will
be
a
massive
undertaking
if
any
of
you
ever
seen
the
MTP.
It's
it's
like
50
pages
60
pages
and
it
predates
scooters,
probably
three
days:
pricing,
all
that
but
they've
gotten.
J
And-
and
we
certainly
certainly
need
to
be
a
part
of
that
some
some
other
some
other
activities-
William
hilarious
and
Erica
and
I-
did
an
Outreach
with
Mary
Marshall.
J
Let
me
just
give
you
a
couple
of
of
outcomes.
There
we
had
20
of
50
residents
represented
only
three
of
them
felt
that
they
had
major
transportation
problems
and
one
of
those
was
they
felt
that
the
medical
shop
shuttle
when
when
it
was,
they
were
never
sure
when
it
was
going
to
come.
J
There
were
several
others
William
you.
If
you
want
to
yeah
so
yeah
Medicaid,
as
you
noted,
and
the
other
one
was
a
compliment
to
Metro.
They.
J
Metro
buses
are
great
because
they
lower
when
you
get
on
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
they
do
a
great
job,
so
that
was
a
plus
and
then
the
third
one
was
so
Mary
Marshall
is
you
know
disabled
people,
so
mostly
mental
issues
that
third
individual
wanted
to
go
to
Haines
point
and
there's
no
established
way
to
get
there.
So
we
said
perhaps
the
volunteer
agencies
like
AMV
or
Shepherds
I
forget
the
name
of
the
shepherd
center.
Second
Center
yeah.
J
Perhaps
it
might
be,
you
know
possible
solution,
but
and
then
just
to
pigment
back
off
that
Arlington
Mill
we're
also
doing
the
next
Outreach
there
myself
at
gym
great.
J
I
J
We
we
had
a
the
April
meeting.
Last
week,
we
talked
about
we've
got
nine
possible
actions.
William
and
I
are
gonna,
sit
down
and
go
through
all
of
those
and
see
which
rise
to
the
top,
but
just
one
of
them
that
came
up
today
is
the
audible
of
signals
at
crosswalks.
We've
had
at
least
three
people
who
were
Vision
challenged
complained
about
the
specificity
of
these
audible
indicators.
Most
of
the
time,
what
you
get
is
a
buzzer
you're,
not
sure
where
it's
coming
from.
J
If
I
know,
if
I
were,
if
I
were
Vision
challenged,
I
I
would
have
great
concern.
Stepping
off
the
curb
I
I
think
some
of
these
crosswalks
have
their
their
information,
has
declined
and
part
of
part
of
it
probably
is
because
they
removed
some
of
that
stuff
for
the
pandemic.
J
The
buttons,
for
example,
would
you
sometimes
sometimes
initiate
the
the
message,
and
the
message
should
be
your
way
to
walk
is
clear
for
ex
Road
saying
that
your
way
to
walk
is
clear,
doesn't
tell
you
whether
you
can
walk
to
the
left
and
walk
straight
ahead.
That's
that's
a
real
concern,
so
we
are
going
to
be
continuing
to
work
that
and
then
Andrea
and
I
briefed
the
pack
The
Pedestrian
advisory
committee
had
a
great
time.
We're
very
well
welcomed.
J
Andrea
has
really
paved
a
a
great
sidewalk
into
the
back.
Very
well
appreciated
their
issues
here,
and
so
we
we
decided
that
we
need
to
get
together
on
some
of
our
projects,
because
there's
some
overlap
and
we've
also
requested
a
a
participant
from
the
pack
to
serve
on
our
committee
as
well.
So
Andrea
do
you
have
anything
to
add
to
that.
A
Wonderful,
thank
you,
and
so
there
is
a
comment
from
our
our
friends
at
Culpepper
Garden.
They
just
said
that
their
concerns
about
getting
to
the
athletic
Aquatic
Center
into
55
plus
centers,
as
they're
not
included
on
scat
routes
in
this
Center,
is
a
30-minute
walk
from
the
closest
bus.
Stop.
J
Some
discussion
about
SQL
had
been
killed
along
Yorktown
Boulevard
and
they
now
have
it's
extraordinarily
elaborate.
What
they've
done
they've
added
two
stop
signs
that
narrow
things
and
so
I
I
mean
some
drivers
will
probably
be
complaining
because
they
have
to
creep
through
the
area,
but
it's
going
to
be
a
lot
safer
for
for
the
school
for
Nottingham
and
pedestrians.
What
do
you
want
across
and
the
screen,
yeah
and
and
I
guess
I
should
I
should
indicate
too
at
our
at
the
transportation
quarterly.
J
We
had
Christine
Baker,
who
runs
Ephesian
zero,
and
she
talked
about
several
of
her
toolbox
to
items
to
reduce
the
deaths
and
accidents,
and
one
of
them
was
a
reduction
of
speed,
which
of
course
draws
a
lot
of
the
criticism
as
well
as
plots,
but
she
had
some
some
interesting
statistic.
One
of
them
is
that
52
of
the
accidents
in
Arlington
occur
over
6.8
percent
of
the
roads.
J
Langston
Boulevard
is
in
that
category
as
Isley
Road,
and
so
you
know
she's
concentrating
on
those
which
is
a
great
idea.
Arlington
averages
about
50
plus
accidents
per
year
and
it's
pretty
consistent
anywhere
from
one
to
six
deaths.
So
it's
you're
doing
a
great
job.
A
Great
well,
thank
you
and
thanks
for
that's
a
good
swath.
You
guys
cover
any
questions
for
William
or
Jim
or
others.
Okay,
that
includes
all
of
our
committee
updates
and
reports.
A
Cynthia,
do
you
have
anything
to
report
on
age
friendly
yeah?
We
are
meeting
on
Friday.
We
have
a
a
basic
draft
of
the
five-year
report
based
on
the
annual
reports
from
the
committee
switch,
which
I
think
is
going
to
give
us
a
pretty
good
structure.
We
are
now
looking
over
it
to
decide
what
data
and
information
we
need
to
add
to
it,
but
we're
coming
along.
A
Well,
we
are
assuming
that
we
will
in
fact
have
told
the
ARP
that
we
will
turn
in
the
plan
by
the
end
of
June,
which
would
be
the
end
of
our
five-year
cycle,
a
report
I'm
sorry,
not
the
plan,
and
then
in
the
next
year
we
would
start
a
cycle
Again
by
updating
and
extending
the
plan
over
the
next
five
years.
A
Great
and
welcome
home
temporary
temporary.
They
are
busy
people
any
questions
of
Cynthia,
okay,
all
right,
Alliance,
55,
plus
Andrea.
G
Hi,
the
55
plus,
is
doing
going
along
smoothly,
considering
that
there's
still
two
people
have
two
staff
members
on
loan
elsewhere
in
DPR
and
that
the
alliance
had
on
March
30th
Affair
to
go
and
sign
up
of
older
adults.
As
far
as
for
the
federal
Broadband
assistance
program
and
I
think
it
went
quite
well
and
I
that's
about
it.
A
That's
great
I'm
glad
that
you
all
were
doing
that
any
questions
of
Andrea.
A
Okay,
the
link
is
not
here
so
I,
don't
believe
we
have
any
update
on
the
Alexandria
Commission
on
Aging,
so
we'll
move
on
to
Wendy,
A
and
B.
C
A
I
think
Wendy
and
plate
is
mighty
full
and
she
always
is
kind
enough
to
make
time
and
partner
with
us
on
this
opportunity
to
reach
out
to
candidates
for
the
Arlington
County
board,
so
appreciate
all
that
she
does
Erica.
Do
you
have
an
update
on
the
Commonwealth
Council
on
Aging
no
I.
H
Don't
have
an
update
because
the
council
meets
on
Wednesday,
so
I
won't
have
an
update
for
you
next
time.
A
Great
all
right,
Dimension
friendly.
Do
we
have
any
update
from
Jessica
Frederickson
I.
F
Don't
think
we
is
Jessica
on
no
okay,
so
we
have
an
internal
dementia,
friendly
Arlington
group
that
Caitlyn,
staffer
and
golari
have
been
helping
to
coach
here.
If
anyone
is
interested,
we
we
meet
once
a
month
on
teams,
but
a
few
things
that
are
really
exciting.
The
the
governor
did
sign
House,
Bill
2250
into
law
requiring
that
law
enforcement
recruits
have
specific
dementia
training,
so
I'm
very
excited
about
that.
F
And
then
our
internal
team
has
a
pretty
pretty
exciting
lineup
of
training
staff
at
the
shelter
at
path
forward,
training,
some
partners
with
the
Arlington
partnership
for
affordable
housing
or
apple,
and
then
some
some
Community
trainings
at
Aurora,
Hills
Library
and
we've
been
meeting
with
Martha
villaviro
Santiago.
Although
a
former
commissioner
about
how
we
can
expand
some
of
the
training
to
individuals
and
caregivers
who
are
Spanish
speaking
so
we're
doing
a
lot
of
really
exciting
stuff.
F
If
anyone
is
interested,
it's
an
internal
committee,
so
we
can
meet
virtually,
but
please
let
me
know
and
we'll
make
sure
you
get
the
invite
is
the.
A
Okay,
yeah
I
really
appreciate
that
and
hope
that
we
can
get
that
information
out
all
right.
Finally,
the
steering
committee
on
older
persons
Cheryl
do
you
have
anything
to
add,
but.
C
I
just
was
going
to
say
their
next
meeting
is
in
May
on
May,
19th
and
I
wrote
down
or
I
guess.
I
got
this
from
Jim
who
I
guess
as
left
already
that
the
topic
is
housing
issues
and
it's
supposed
to
be
an
in-person
and
lover
run
and
Anthony
and
Terry
are
listed
Helen.
Do
you
have
any
more
information
on.
C
A
B
A
Our
next
meeting
will
be
right
here
on
May
15th,
so
the
movie
in
person
and
I
do
appreciate
your
time
today.
Thank
you
so
very
much
and
have
a
great
day
and
if
you
haven't
picked
up
one
of
these,
it's
a
really
great
little
cheat
sheet
products.
