We
don't
do
this
every
meeting,
but
when
the
need
arises
and
the
opportunity
to
identify
someone
and
and
speak
about
that
person
who
has
given
so
much
back
to
the
community,
we
take
it
that
person
is
Liz,
Birnbaum
Liz
I
won't
make
you
stand
up
yet
I've
worked
with
you
quite
a
bit
on
a
lot
of
issues.
All
of
it.
You
know
close
to
my
heart.
B
I
know
very
close
to
yours
and
we
are
all
better
off
in
each
of
those
instances
for
the
work
you
put
in
what
we've
done
lately
is
staff
do
a
great
job.
They
go
to
some
of
the
people
that
have
worked
with
you
and
got
some
quotes
to
share.
So
these
are
for
people
who
had
a
little
bit
to
say
about
Liz
Birnbaum,
who
was
the
chair
of
our
etc'
to
Commission,
and
our
four
mile
run
revitalization
restoration
process.
B
This
is
one
person
who
says
she
came
prepared
and
confidently
ran
an
efficient
meeting,
while
still
allowing
for
public
participation
and
meaningful
dialogue.
Among
committee
members,
what
I've
always
been
struck
I
was
Liz's
intellect
matched
with
unending
energy,
creativity
and
problem-solving.
She
was
a
force
on
diverse
projects
from
revision.
A
four
mile
run
to
arrest
restoring
Donaldson
run
to
pursuing
better
lighting
to
seek
to
comply
with
dark
sky
initiatives.
B
C
B
Two
and
eight
okay:
now
we
have
a
couple
of
staff
people
who
have
worked
with
you
and
I'm,
not
identifying
the
names.
You'll
have
to
try
to
figure
this
out
later,
but
one
wrote
I
first
knew
of
her
work
with
the
nonprofit
environmental
advocacy
organization,
American
Rivers
she's,
a
passionate
advocate
for
the
environment
and
particularly
for
River
Conservation.
Her
work
on
the
Four
Mile
Run
project
began
when
she
took
over
from
the
previous
Arlington
co-chair
of
that
task
force.
B
Neal
Sigmund,
when
he
retired
she's,
been
a
strong
advocate
for
that
four
mile
run
project
and
her
contacts
on
the
hill.
A
theme
you
will
read
throughout
here
throughout,
as
well
as
their
understanding
of
the
congressional
approval
process
for
federal
water
resources
has
been
invaluable
and
the
other
staff
person
built
on
that
a
little
bit
and
actually
pointed
out
something
I.
Wasn't
aware
of
that
when
you
came
on
that
Joint
Task
Force,
just
at
the
right
time,
it
suggests
your
skillset
and
contacts
to
Shepherd.
B
The
reauthorization
of
the
flood
control
project
quote
authorized
flow
through
Congress
allowed
the
title
aloud.
The
title
restoration
project
to
proceed
forward
literally
Liz
worked
some
magic
to
get
the
quote
act
of
Congress
necessary
to
accomplish
this
long
thought
to
be
remote,
possibility
of
an
outcome,
so
it
says
you
goes
on
to
say:
you
directly
facilitated
the
completion
of
the
title
restoration
project
that
is
finishing
up
as
he
types
it's
a
legacy
she
can
be
proud
of
and
for
which
we
are
all
grateful.
B
Well,
what
I
remember
is
when
I
was
say
the
county
board
liaison
to
the
Four
Mile
Run
restoration
project,
which
is
a
joint
project
with
our
sister
Alexandria
I,
never
had
to
worry
about
checking
in
about
when
I
was
needed
or
when
the
board
was
needed,
because
I
could
rely
on
a
perfectly
timed.
Informative
call
from
Liz
to
just
fill
me
in
or
let
me
know
exactly
where
we
were
what
was
needed,
how
we
were
moving
forward
and
it
was
always
accurate
to
a
tee.
So
it's
exactly
the
kind
of
of
skill
set.
B
That's
referenced
here.
Your
knowledge
base
your
responsibility,
your
commitment
to
the
values.
You
know,
environmental
values
that
this
community
embraces.
That
are
a
legacy
of
your
time
here.
So,
on
behalf
of
the
County
Board
I,
don't
know
if
others
want
to
say
anything.
Maybe
I've
summed
it
up
as
have
the
four
testimonials
we
really
want
to.
Thank
you
for
all
you've
done
for
Arlington
Liz.
So
thank
you
very
much.
B
I'm
gonna
be
giving
you
I,
know
Cheryl's
here
from
app'
and
because
I
know,
you've
had
your
hand
in
a
lot
of
projects
and
app'
when
they
heard
you
were
being
acknowledged.
They
wanted
to
be
here
to
enjoy
the
moment
with
you
express
their
appreciation
but
I'm
going
to
come
down
and
give
you
this
certificate
and
we'd
love
to
invite
you
to
the
podium
to
say
a
couple
parting
thoughts.
If
you
have
some.
C
C
They're
all
professional
they're,
all
impressive,
and
so
every
aspect
of
doing
this
work
with
the
county
has
been
really
just
a
joy
to
do,
and
more
recently,
as
I've
gotten
to
know
the
island
partnership
for
affordable
housing
working
on
some
of
the
affordable
housing
issues
as
well.
I'm
just
really
impressed
with
what
a
community
we
have
it's
a
community
of
people
who
care
about
their
community
who
care
about
broader
issues
as
well
and
who
really
want
to
work
for
the
best
for
everyone,
and
that
has
been
just
wonderful,
I
hope.
C
B
B
B
D
D
You
know:
I
go
around
the
county,
I
do
brown
bag
lunches,
I,
went
down
last
month
and
met
with
some
of
the
staff
who
work
on
the
park
for
the
Park
Service
areas,
and
there
are
four
of
them
and
I'm
gonna
list
22
names
of
people
they're,
obviously
not
all
here,
I
think
they're,
probably
all
outside
working
very
hard.
In
the
very
hot
weather
the
group
of
employees
were
recognizing.
D
Maintenance
staff
in
park
service
areas,
one
two:
three
and
four
working
together-
conducting
two
cleanups
to
remove
over
200
bags
of
trash
in
several
tons
of
large
debris
from
the
bank's
a
four
mile
run
near
south
glebe
road
and
heavy
equipment
was
needed
to
haul
out
some
of
the
debris.
So
this
massive
undertaking,
and
which
we
have
do-
have
a
few
pictures
Lyn
that
we
can
put
up
I
just
wanted
to
show
you
what
was
involved
in
doing
this.
We
have
I
think
there's
four
of
the
slides.
D
So
if
you
just
work
through
them,
you
can
see.
This
is
stuff
that
you
know
it
may
not
be
visible
to
Everett
to
everybody,
but
they
came
in
with
whole
bunch
of
equipment
and
sort
of
hauled
that
all
out,
and
they
do
this
on
a
not
operations.
Quite
this
big,
but
they
do
this
every
day
and
I
really
wanted
to
offer
a
special
thanks
to
them.
D
This
took
two
days:
they
picked
up
paper,
bear
cans,
mattresses,
shopping
carts
tires,
and
you
know
I
think
say:
I
don't
want
to
take
for
granted
some
of
the
work
that
people
do
every
day.
So
for
that
they
are
all
the
beneficiaries
of
four
hours
of
an
additional
bonus
leave
and
I
wanted
to
thank
them
again
for
all
their
efforts
and
cleaning
up
the
environment,
so
I'm,
sorry,
they
couldn't
be
here
today,
but
let's
give
him
a
round
of
applause
anyway,.
B
B
E
Good
afternoon,
thank
you
very
much
for
this
opportunity.
Mobility
lab
as
part
of
our
Arlington
Computer
Services
program
was
formed
in
2010
and
it
grew
out
of
Arlington's
extensive
TDM
research
program,
which
is
among
the
most
robust
in
the
nation
Louis
de
Meester,
the
CEO
of
our
destination
sales
and
marketing
group
helped
to
develop
mobility,
lab
and
envisioned
that
it
would
broaden
the
TDM
mission
and
reach
beyond
Arlington.
E
So
it
is
incredibly
valuable
for
Arlington,
but
it
also
engages
other
jurisdictions
in
the
Washington
region,
universities
that
are
here
in
Northern,
Virginia
and
in
the
region
and
other
localities
around
the
country,
and
it
really
has
become
a
source
of
sharing
best
practices
and
information,
as
well
as
cutting-edge
research,
research
locally.
We
find
that
this
research
is
critical
to
documenting
and
improving
our
understanding
of
how
our
environment
works
in
terms
of
land
use
and
transportation,
and
in
in
doing
so,
we
better
serve
our
residents
and
businesses.
F
F
Capital
Bikeshare
the
commuter
stores
and
mobile
stores,
mobility
lab
is
different
and
that
we
bring
all
ACC.
S
is
best
practices
together
from
what
we
call
the
living
laboratory
and
we
bring
it
to
life.
Our
main
goal,
of
course,
is
to
educate
local,
regional
national
audiences
on
the
importance
and
benefits
of
transportation
demand
management,
so
TDM
as
we
call
it
or
transportation
to
me
and
manage
strategies
and
services
and
incentives
that
help
people
make
decisions
to
choose
a
multiple
of
diverse
options
other
than
driving
alone.
F
So
we
help
Arlington
business
and
the
residential
communities
and
the
TDM
industry
make
more
efficient
use
of
transit
and
infrastructure,
that's
already
in
place,
so
we
work
by
three
guiding
principles
or
three
pillars,
as
we
say:
research,
collaboration
and
communications.
So
an
example
of
these
three
pillars
and
actions
is
the
picture
on
your
screen
of
Matt
Cawood
and
his
company
transit
screen.
It's
an
example
of
how
mobility
lab
fostered
all
those
new
changing
technologies
and
transportation
information
together
to
benefit
people
with
a
tool
that
is
real
time.
F
Traveler
information
now
TDM
again
is
an
approach
to
using
encouragement,
incentives,
education
directives
to
help
more
people
use
options.
But
what
does
it
look
like
to
you?
Well,
it
looks
like
bike
stations,
bike
racks
car
share
vehicles,
people
walking
to
transit
and
to
rail
van
pool
and
car
pools
and
building
in
buildings.
People.
F
F
So
pillar
number
one
is
research.
We
have
a
robust
research
catalog
it's
on
the
website,
it's
all
of
our
original
research,
spanning
ten
years
studies
and
more
ranging
from
business
leader
surveys,
Arlington
residents,
studies,
commercial
and
resident
building
studies,
site
plans,
surveys,
car
sharing
studies,
Arlington
transportation
partners,
client
studies,
the
champions
program,
art
rider
studies
and
one
of
my
favorite
one.
One
of
the
best
stories
is
the
Joint
Base
Henderson
Hall
study,
which
resulted
in
the
opening
of
the
Henry
gate
after
being
closed
to
pedestrian
traffic.
F
Again
we
are
here
building
on
the
goal
of
measuring
and
documenting
how
Arlington
TDM
is
performing,
then
sharing
it
regionally
nationally
by
telling
stories
that
affect
people
on
a
daily
basis
and
their
transportation
behavior.
We
also
partner
in
research
with
regional
stakeholders
that
have
implications
on
the
local
state
and
federal
level.
Mobility,
lab
research
and
proposed
the
equity
plan
for
the.
G
F
Due
to
the
d-o-t
to
Dennis
on
the
use
of
autonomous
vehicles,
mobility
lab
will
be
co-sponsoring
a
symposium
in
the
fall
with
IDO
Brookings
APA
in
the
National
League
of
Cities
to
determine
how
how
autonomous
vehicles
will
affect
Arlington's
communities
again.
The
futures
here
its
innovative,
its
competitive
and
mobility
lab,
is
connecting
the
dots
between
people
and
their
transportation
options
and
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
Paul
hi.
H
Thank
you
for
having
us
again,
I'm
Paul,
Mackey
communications
director
at
mobility
lab
and
that
that
last
example
of
the
autonomous
vehicles
symposium
that
we're
holding
with
with
people
thought
leaders
from
all
over
the
country
will
be
coming.
Thank
you
we'll
be
coming
over
we'll
be
coming
to
the
area.
That's
just
an
example
of
the
way
we're
working
across
organizations
and
even
industries
of
the
three
pillars
of
mobility
lab.
H
That's
collaboration
is
number
two,
so
you
you
see
the
transit
screen
there
in
one
of
the
pictures
of
the
people
looking
down
at
the
sidewalk
of
the
screen.
That
was,
from
the
first
slide
that
we
saw
that
Louis
talked
about
Matt,
Kay,
woods,
group
and
they're.
Now,
in
in
dozens
of
countries,
hundreds
of
cities
all
for
mobility
lab
all
from
Arlington
starting
out
just
a
few
years
ago.
Transportation
camp
is
another,
is
another
big
one
where
we
convene
both
thought
leaders
and
regular
people
just
interested
in
transportation.
From
around
the
country.
H
We
sell
out
every
January
with
about
maxing
out
about
500
people
and
every
that
that
one
day
in
January
Arlington
is
the
center
of
the
transportation
universe.
It
is
it's
really
great.
We
were
number
one
on
Twitter
on
the
last
nationally
on
the
last
transportation
camp
so,
and
we
also
have
this
thing
called
transportation
techies,
which
is
a
Show
and
Tell
around
the
region.
It's
grown
from
zero
to
about
twenty
one
hundred
members
in
three
years,
which
tells
us
there
are
at
least
2100
transportation,
tech
geeks
in
Washington
DC.
We
in
the
DC
region
alone.
H
They
get
together
mostly
in
Arlington,
sometimes
in
other
cities,
and
they
just
do
so
and
tells
of
how
they're
using
data
to
make
that
data
come
to
life,
to
do
something
really
interesting
and
innovative
in
the
transportation
space,
and
then
we've
got
our
website
where
we
have
more
than
130
contributors,
we're
always
trying
to
grow
that
it's.
It's
amazing
like
with
the
techies.
H
H
We
are
the
only
TDM
exclusive
news
site
in
the
United
States.
It
features
videos
and
newsletters
and
commentary
and
research
best
practices
where
we're
bringing
the
best
practices
around
the
world
back
for
Arlington
to
see,
but
also
talking
about
the
things
that
our
linkedin
is
doing.
So
we
can
really
spotlight
arlington
as
a
leader
in
Tod
and
TDM.
H
So
these
three
pillars
really
stem
from
having
former
USDOT
Secretary
Ray
LaHood
at
a
Mobility
lab
event
at
George,
Mason
University
in
Arlington
about
three
years
ago,
and
one
of
the
things
we
love
the
most
that
he
said
is
we
need
mobility
labs
everywhere
and
we
really
took
that
to
heart
and
we
thought
research
collaboration,
communications
could
get
us
there.
We
could
really
spread
the
message
by
focusing
on
these
areas.
B
Yeah
I
think
the
I
will
just
leave
with
this
that
the
term
or
the
acronym
TDM
you
hear
it
all
the
time
in
our
work
and
different
meetings,
especially
around
obviously
transportation
policy
and
just
to
demystify
it.
What
it
means
is:
there's
not
only
the
right
side
of
the
equation:
building
construction,
widening
roads,
building
bridges,
you
know
capital
expenditures
on
bicycles
and
other
things,
but
there's
the
other
side
of
the
equation,
which
is
the
demand
side,
and
how
do
you
affect
the
demand
side
as
well?
B
How
do
you
change
people's
behavior
through
incentives
or
information
through
a
variety
of
ways
that
help
actually
make
the
system
work?
Better,
reduce
congestion,
make
it
easier
to
get
around
many
times.
You
don't
even
know
of
the
choices
that
are
already
there
and
mobility
lab
and
a
lot
of
our
other
transportation
professionals
spend
a
lot
of
time
trying
to
do
exactly
that.
B
Okay,
we're
gonna
move
on
to
the
only
other
announcement.
The
only
announcement
I
have
is
about
the
County
Fair
that
is
coming
up.
We're
approaching
August
August
16
to
20
is
at
the
Thomas
Jefferson
Community
Center,
our
annual
County
Fair,
dozens
of
Midway
rides
food
vendors
pony
rides
free
entertainment,
including
racing
piglets
once
again,
a
kids
court,
indoor
and
outdoor
stages,
and
again
there
is
a
parade.
B
This
year
starts
at
10
a.m.
what
day
is
the
parade
does
doesn't
say
here:
I'm
sorry,
Saturday,
the
19th
at
10
a.m.
is
a
parade.
It
starts
at
the
Arlington
Career
Center
and
ends
at
the
fairgrounds,
which
are
really
less
than
a
mile
away,
so
enjoy
the
County
Fair.
It's
a
lot
of
fun,
whether
you
are
a
child
or
an
adult.
Okay,
other
board
members.
You
have
any
County
Board
reports,
miss
Garvey,
yeah.
I
Thank
you.
Well,
it's
that
time
again
we're
just
about
to
the
cannon
Garvey
memorial
bike,
ride
for
Phoenix
bikes
and
I
always
like
to
talk
about
that
one.
It's
my
favorite
this
this
year,
it's
on
August
5th.
It's
always
the
first
Saturday
in
August.
We
ended
up
having
to
take
August
as
the
month
for
the
ride.
Everybody
said
it's
gonna
be
too
hot,
so
we
went
with
it.
We
call
it
the
sizzling
suburban
century
ride,
and
actually
this
is
the
fourth
year.
The
first
three
have
not
been
so
hot.
I
I
If
you,
if
you
want
to
go
less
than
that,
entry
is
just
$25,
which
is
not
very
much
and
a
fundraising
goal
of
100
for
each
rider,
and
for
that
you
don't
well,
not
only
get
a
great
ride
and
the
supported
the
support
along
the
way
you
get
a
free
t-shirt
and
a
box
lunch
we've
gotten
great
support
this
year.
This
this
ride
has
doubled
every
year.
I,
don't
know
how
we're
gonna
do
this
time,
but
we
every
year's,
doubled
or
more.
I
I
90
miles
is
bicycles
and
coffee
in
personal
belt,
and
if
you
want
to
do
the
hundred
make
it
a
real
century,
you
can
you
just
add
the
loop
of
Arlington,
which
is
the
Custis
Mount
Vernon,
and
the
four
mile
run
trails
since
2011
Phoenix
bikes
has
been
raising
up
money
for
a
new
facility,
and
you
can
kind
of
see
here
if
you
go
back
one
more
yeah.
Why
they
need
it?
I
I
mean
they
have
been
in
a
630
square
foot
reposes,
that
repurposed
concession
stand
and
they're
gonna
be
moving
into
Arlington
Mill
Community
Center,
where
they
can
teach
work
and
on
bikes
and
store
bikes
and
right
now
they
do
all
of
that
much
of
it
outside
because
they
really
have
no
room.
They
don't
even
have
room
to
store
all
the
bikes,
and
sometimes
it's
bikes
disappear
that
students
have
way.
You
know
again.
People
have
worked
on
and
it's
pretty
discouraging,
but
they
do
what
wonderful
things
there.
I
If
this
ride
does
as
well
as
we
plan
it
and
we
always
have
met
our
goals,
they
should
easily
have
what
they
need
to
move
into
Arlington
Mill
Community
Center,
which
is
their
next
home
and
they're,
hoping
actually
to
have
that
to
us.
Colleagues
in
September
for
a
vote.
The
idea
is
we
get
them
by
October
for
sure
they're,
because
they're
hosting
the
National,
Youth,
Bike
Summit
and
that's
a
big
deal
and
I
think
we
would
all
be
a
little
embarrassed
if
they're
still
in
that
concession
Hut.
So
we
need
them
in
a
good
facility.
I
This
is,
of
course,
a
very
personal
cause
for
me:
cannon
used
to
love
cycling.
Oh
you
know,
I
wanted
to
do
it,
there's
one
more
slide.
Let
me
just
go
back
just
to
show
how
well
they've
been
doing
yeah,
so
this
just
shows
that
growth,
like
the
number
of
students
they've,
been
the
youth
they've,
been
serving
the
volunteers
that
have
been
coming
in
the
bikes
that
they've
been
they've
been
working
on.
I
There
was
a
little
deposit
when
we
had
a
change,
an
executive
director,
but
it
is
just
taking
off
and
it
is
a
well
well
needing
to
move
into
Arlington,
Mellon
and
I
think
that
will
continue
the
growth
rate.
They
really
can't
do
any
more
in
that
small
and,
as
I
say,
there's
a
very
personal
cause
for
me:
Kennon
love,
cycling
and
he
loved
working
with
kids.
Some
people
know
after
college.
I
We
work
teachers
in
the
Peace,
Corps
and
kennen
community
to
work
every
day
in
Crystal
City
just
about
every
day
rain
snow
sometimes,
and
he
would
do
that
starting
in
the
early
80s,
when
it
was
actually
kind
of
weird
to
be
riding
your
bike
to
work.
People
thought
he
was
pretty
strange
and
he'd
be
delighted
with
everything
that
we're
doing
for
cycling
today
that
arlington
loop
and
the
WN
OD
trail
were
some
of
our
favorite
rides
and
we
rode
that
regularly
to
keep
in
shape
for
bike
virginia,
which
we
did
a
number
of
years.
I
This
is
where
that
picture
was
taken
when
our
bike,
Virginia
rides.
I
thought
it'd
be
kind
of
fun.
To
put
the
put
the
picture
up.
Cycling
is
such
a
great
way
to
see
things
and
stay
fit,
so
we
can
get
back
to
the
next
one.
Yeah
I'm
not
gonna,
be
riding
this
one
year,
I'm
gonna
be
riding
virtually
Mike.
Have
this
new
knee?
It's
not
quite
ready
to
ride
the
bike
yet,
but
I'll
be
there
to
start
the
start.
I
The
ride
off
and
support
everybody
riding
and
that's
gonna
include
this
year,
a
lot
of
family
here
in
town
and
family
from
out
of
town
and
I
hope,
everybody's
gonna
come
and
join
in
the
right.
If
you
can't
ride,
you
can
help
out
and
volunteer.
If
you
can't
do
any
of
that
sponsor
a
writer,
let's
get
Phoenix
bikes
over
the
hump
they're.
So
close
and
into
Arlington
mill
and
we'd
really
appreciate
your
support,
so
it
should
be
a
lot
of
fun.
Thank
you.
Thank.
J
You,
mr.
chairman,
just
one
quick
slide
today,
as
liaison
to
the
four
mile
run
working
group,
a
long
four
mile
run
drive
I'm
happy
to
once
again
reference
the
fact
that
in
tomorrow,
night
actually
July
19th
there's
a
lot
going
on
tomorrow
night.
Actually,
but
this
is
one
meeting
that
I
recommend
7:00
to
10:00
p.m.
2700,
South
Taylor,
Street
feedback
on
the
on
where
we
go,
what
we've
done
and
where
we
go
from
here
on
planning
the
four
mile
run
valley
corridor.
J
K
Just
wanted
to
provide
a
brief
update
on
the
work
of
the
joint
facilities,
Advisory
Commission.
We
had
a
much
touted
well
attended
and
well
paid
attention
to
joint
working
session
with
the
school
board
and
the
gem
facilities
Advisory
Commission
on
June
27,
and
wanted
to
share
a
couple
of
notes
about
where
the
J
FAC
has
headed.
Next.
As
my
colleagues
know,
Mr
phys,
ed
and
I
are
the
liaisons
to
the
J
FAC
as
members
of
the
joint
facilities.
K
Two
by
two
committee
with
the
school
board
I
know,
we've
got
a
slide
we're
pulling
up
about
what's
next
for
the
J
FAC.
So
following
that,
June
27
work
session
wanted
to
highlight
that
we
are
now
moving
into
phase
3
of
the
use
determination
process,
as
recommended
by
the
community
facilities
study.
That
means
in
layman's
terms,
things
like
engineering
and
planning
analyses,
traffic
impact,
analysis,
environmental
analysis,
etc.
About
some
of
the
potential
uses,
the
J
facts,
surface
for
the
buck
site
and
the
Virginia
Hospital
Center
site.
Should
we
move
forward
and
I
know?
K
We
have
an
item
later
on
our
not
get
to
do
so
in
swapping
and
and
acquiring
those
sites
respectively.
So
I
know
a
lot
of
members
of
our
community
have
have
you
know,
sort
of
wondered
about
ownership
of
next
steps
of
that
use,
determination,
process
and
wanted
to
take
this
opportunity
to
really
highlight
that
the
the
next
steps
will
lay
in
the
very
professional
hands
of
our
of
our
staff
consultants
as
well,
although
there
will
be
opportunities
for
much
more
community
input
and
J
FAC
advice
on
the
results
of
this
analysis.
K
One
and
two
of
the
use
determination
process
was
the
need
for
a
so-called
taxonomy
or
a
kind
of
a
set
of
common
language.
A
set
of
common
names
and
relationships
of
what
we
mean
when
we
say
short,
medium
and
longer
term.
That
is
a
seemingly
simple
task
that
I
think
actually
will
require
quite
a
bit
of
brainpower
and
discussion
and
we're
looking
forward
to
having
the
JFX
point
of
view
on
it.
K
The
final
item
that
did
shake
out
of
that
June
27
joint
work
session
is
the
question
of
truly
isn't
there
somewhere
else
that
we
can
Park
buses
adjust
higher
on
the
part
of
J
FAC
members,
possibly
some
board
members,
possibly
some
staff
members
who
who
really
have
been
leaving
no
stone
unturned
to
really
dig
into
all
of
the
work.
That's
been
done
to
make
sure
truly
that
we
are
leaving
no
stone
unturned
when
it
comes
to
finding
a
home
for
the
fleet
necessary
to
serve
this
growing
community.
K
So
there
will
be
an
opportunity
for
a
sort
of
community
briefing.
The
the
J
FAC
will
be
the
recipients
of
the
briefing,
but
it
should
be
a
pretty
participatory
session.
Next
week,
Thursday
July
27
7:00
p.m.
right
here
in
the
county
board
room.
So
for
anyone
who
is
interested
or
again
would
like
to
make
sure
that
we
truly
are
leaving
no
stone
unturned.
That
will
be
an
opportunity
for
that
conversation.
K
B
L
B
M
Just
spend
a
couple
minutes
to
update
you
all
on,
what's
been
going
on
with
with
Metro
over
the
course
of
the
last
month,
since
we've
convened,
I
want
to
give
you
some
updates
on
Metro
initiatives
or
Metro
News,
starting
with
the
recent
approval
by
the
US
House
of
Representatives
of
the
Metro
Safety
Commission
legislation
to
refresh
your
memory.
This
is
legislation
that
has
been
required
and
as
a
condition
for
Metro
to
receive
formula
funds
for
its
operations.
This
is
a
key
milestone.
M
This
will
now
go
to
the
Senate
for
their
approval
and
then
hopefully
to
the
president
for
a
signature.
At
that
point,
the
FTA
will
have
before
it
the
responsibility
of
certifying
the
Metro
Safety
Commission
and
then
hopefully
freeing
up
some
significant
funds
that
Metro
has
that
have
been
withheld
from
Metro
until
the
Safety
Commission
is
stood
up.
Then
we
also
had
a
very
lively
discussion
at
the
last
Metro
customer
service
committee,
where
six
new
proposals
for
revenue
enhancement
of
metros
parking
assets
were
debated.
One
is
to,
and
just
let
me
frame
this
for
a
minute.
M
M
So
there's
a
desire
to
increase
the
amount
of
time
that
the
spaces
can
collect
revenue
and
to
accomplish
that
there
is
Basel
to
extend
the
weekday
hours
of
operation
where
they
would
start
at
7:30
in
the
morning
and
go
until
the
system
closes,
which
now,
for
the
time
being,
will
be
at
11:30
p.m.
during
the
week.
It
would
also
be
to
attest
weekend
hours
of
operation
charging
a
nominal
fee
and
to
get
a
sense
of
who
rides
I'm.
Sorry,
who
uses
the
parking
garages
on
the
weekend
currently
weekend.
M
Parking
utilization
is
only
at
20%,
so
there
is
a
significant
amount
of
room
to
figure
out
what
to
do
with
weekend
hours.
It's
also
a
proposal
to
institute
variable
rate
daily
parking,
so
to
look
at
some
of
those
parking
facilities
that
have
low
parking
utilization
and
to
figure
out
if
a
dynamic
rate
structure,
a
changing
rate
structure
could
attract
more
daily
Parkers
to
those
facilities
and
then
to
enable
what
is
currently
only
allowed
at
a
few
different
Metro
parking
properties,
a
so-called
non
user
fee.
M
Think
of
this,
as
kind
of
like
allowing
farmers
markets
on
Metro
property
so
that
people
could
get
off
the
train
or
you
know,
even
as
they're,
going
to
the
station
and
enjoy
a
farmer's
market
at
a
particular
parking
facility.
Some
of
these
are
pilot
projects,
so
we'll
collect
some
data,
see
how
they
go.
Should
the
board
approve
them.
But
these
are
these:
all
together
are
estimated
if,
if
adopted
and
implemented
long
term
could
bring
about
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
more
to
the
metro
system
and,
as
you
know,
revenue
is
a
key
concern.
M
We
go
to
the
next
slide
then
also
last
week,
the
Metro
governance
committee,
which
is
tasked
with
looking
at
making
sure
the
Metro
board,
operates
efficiently
advanced
a
proposal
to
restructure.
The
key
thing
is
to
reduce
the
standing
committees
from
eight
which,
even
though
we
have
16
members
of
the
Metro
Board
principals
and
alternates,
eight
standing
committees
is
rather
large
and
unwieldy
and
there's
a
recommendation
to
reduce
that
number
to
five.
M
That
would
be
the
executive
committee
made
up
of
the
Metro
chair
and
vice-chair,
along
with
the
chairs
of
the
four
other
substantive
standing
committees
that
are
proposed:
finance
and
budget
safety
and
service,
business
oversight
and
capital
and
strategic
planning.
One
other
note
is
that
the
Governance
Committee
is
proposing
that
the
chair
chairs
of
those
committees
not
be
limited
to
the
principle
members,
but
could
also
include
alternates,
but
we
still
have
some
work
to
do
on
on
that
and
I'll.
M
Let
you
know,
after
the
next
board
meeting
on
July
27th,
where
we
stand
with
all
of
that
next
slide.
Some
good
news.
We've
had
some
recent
data
released
on
rail
car
reliability,
which
is
a
key
initiative
of
Metro,
and
the
news
is
very
good.
Looking
at
year
over
year
over
year,
figures,
rail
car
reliability
has
increased
50%
offloads,
where
people
have
to
be
taken
off
of
a
train
because
of
some
malfunction,
they're
down
40%
and
the
new
rail
cars
which
you'll
see
you'll,
see
increasingly
in
numbers
throughout
the
system.
M
Those
new
rail
cars
increase
the
average
reliability
of
all
of
metros
cars
by
nearly
70%,
which
is
which
is
really
a
huge
huge
figure.
Those
cars
travel
about
a
hundred
and
fifty
five
thousand
miles
between
delays,
which
are
numbers
that
no
rail
car
in
the
history
of
Metro
has
ever
experienced
and,
as
a
result,
it's
an
allowed.
The
the
agency
to
retire
six
months
ahead
of
schedule,
the
1000
and
4000
series
rail
cars.
M
The
1000
series
are
the
ones
that
date
back
to
metros
inception
and
whose
vulnerabilities
were
implicated
in
the
Fort
Totten
crash
back
in
2009
Metro
has
been
mandated
to
retire
those
cars
and
has
finally
achieved
that
as
of
June,
as
well
as
the
4000
series
which,
while
not
having
the
safety
issues
of
the
1000
series,
were
the
least
reliable
in
the
system.
So
that's
why
we
see
these
numbers
improving
as
they
have,
and
we
go
to
the
last
slide
here.
M
Just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
some
of
the
overall
objectives
of
metros,
new
initiatives
post
safe
track.
There
is
a
landing
page
on
the
LaMotta
website
be
found
at
walmart.com,
slash
back
to
good.
It
identifies
all
of
the
key
areas
where
Metro
is
seeking
to
make
improvements
in
providing
measurable
data
for
the
public
to
to
really
keep
tabs
on
metros.
Progress
and
I
encourage
everybody
to
take
a
look
from
time
to
time,
just
to
see
how
Metro
was
doing.
I
M
So
Metro
meets
to
date
every
other
week
and
I
spend
anywhere
from
six
to
nine
hours
there,
and
occasionally
we
have
special
meetings.
I
got
one
coming
up
this
week
plus
you
know
some
evening
activities
associated
with
Metro,
so
I
would
say
at
least
ten
hours
a
week
just
on
Metro
meetings,
and
then
you
know
I
put
a
lot
of
thought
into
it.
Mr.
garvey,
so
there's
there.
Some
other
thought
time
that
goes
into
it
and
that's.
I
Clear
and
I
think
you're
very
respected
already,
despite
being
just
an
alternate,
so
thank
you
so
much
for
what
you're
doing
and
I
think
that
situation
needs
to
somewhat
change
and
I
think
maybe
we'll
see
some
of
that
as
we
kind
of
move
forward,
I'm
hoping
on
the
governance
with
Metro.
Thank
you
thank.
M
You
and
just
one
other
regional
report:
I,
don't
have
any
slides
to
accompany
this,
but
I
did
want
to
advise
you,
colleagues
and
and
and
the
viewing
public
that
I
had
be
a
pleasure
of
attending
the
Washington
Metropolitan
Washington
Council
of
Governments
annual
retreat
part
of
it.
At
least
it
was
this
past
weekend,
so
we
had
a
board
meeting
on
Saturday,
but
on
Friday
the
the
absolute
highlight
of
the
day
was
an
opportunity
where
joining
together
with
all
of
the
elected
officials
from
surrounding
jurisdictions.
M
We
got
to
toast
someone
who
has
made
huge
contributions
to
cog
over
the
years
and
was
recognized
for
his
outstanding
regional
leadership
and
roasted
by
many
elected
colleagues
throughout
the
region.
One
Gerald
J
Fassett,
our
esteemed
chairman,
who
was
honored
by
a
cake,
and
it
was
a
pretty
substantial
program
about
20-25
minutes
of
accolades.
Coming
from.
You
know,
leaders
throughout
the
region
who
just
all
spoke
glowingly
and
providing
interesting
and
unique
anecdotes
about
working
with
J
and
his
contribution
to
regionalism
throughout
the
region.
M
B
B
Real
next
steps
by
the
end
of
the
year
for
all
of
us,
yesterday's
meeting
was
really
about
not
only
funding
but
really
what
we
saw
as
the
headline
we'd
like
to
see
in
the
paper
at
the
end
of
the
year,
how
some
people
highlighted
the
number
of
units
that
we
would
preserve
or
create
as
a
region?
What
those
best
practices
are,
what
the
various
tools
and
funding
tools
are
and
I
think
if
I
were
to
take
away.
B
My
the
most
important
thing
for
me
is
that
for
the
first
time
ever
as
I
communicated
with
you
earlier,
there's
a
group
of
people
from
all
these
diverse
sectors,
trying
to
acknowledge
and
agree
and
set
a
plan
for
identifying
housing
and
housing.
Affordability
as
a
regional
issue,
not
just
a
local
parochial
issue.
B
It
is
not
something
that
heretofore
has
been
acknowledged
as
a
regional
issue,
that
it
has
implications
for
our
regional
economy
that
that
solving
and
addressing
these
questions
have
issues
for
regional
transportation,
but
they
do
and
I
think
it's
really
quite
fascinating
and
I
think
very
encouraging
that
everyone
is
around
the
table
with
the
hope
set
by
the
end
of
the
year.
We'll
have
something
report
in
terms
of
some
outcomes.
B
We
started
this
long-range
task
force
this
year.
The
chair
put
it
out
there.
She
is
from
Rockville
Bridget
Newton.
She
asked
me
to
chair
this
task
force,
which
I've
been
doing,
and,
to
sum
it
up
what
it's
about?
What
the
problem
is
we're
trying
to
solve
the
TPP
for
those
that
have
any
you
know
trying
to
dig
into
the
arcane
administrative
organizational
structure
of
all
these
transportation
bodies
in
the
region.
This
is
the
one
that
you
is
required
for
sign-off
to
get
federal
transportation
dollars,
which
is
a
large
pot
of
money
in
the
region.
B
The
challenge
with
it
is
the
TPP
has
done
a
great
job,
laying
out
our
vision
and
our
metrics
and
the
things
that
the
principles
that
we
believe
are
important.
Yet
we
end
up
to
a
great
degree
rubber-stamping
the
decisions
of
the
transportation
departments
in
Maryland
and
Virginia
and
the
district,
because
we're
at
the
end
of
the
process,
and
we
have
to
give
the
go
no-go
and
it's
very
hard
when
something's
been
worked
on
for
two
or
three
or
four
years
to
truly
change
it
to
see.
B
The
demand
side
of
the
equation
as
well,
whether
it's
that
last
quarter
mile
connection
to
the
big
investment
of
Metro
or
any
number
of
other
things,
think
if
we
think
about
how
you
might
use
policies
around
parking
and
the
value
of
parking
and
incentivizing
or
disincentivizing
it.
That
could
help
remove
the
need
for
big
new
massive
construction
projects,
so
we're
making
some
progress.
B
We're
also
looking
at
where
some
of
these
projects
that
aren't
on
the
books
now,
because
they
involve
virginia
maryland,
NDC
need
to
get
on
the
books,
so
we're
looking
at
projects
as
well,
but
primarily
those
which
have
a
very
truly
regional
context
to
them.
So
we
we
finished
our
initial,
our
interim
work
with
the
task
force.
B
It
will
be
presented
to
the
tpb
tomorrow
at
noon,
and
the
hope
is
that
a
number
of
projects
and
initiatives,
broadly
speaking,
land
use,
included
that
we're
putting
forward
simply
for
more
review
will
be
accepted
and
then,
by
the
end
of
the
year,
we'll
hone
that
down
and
pick
those
that
we
believe
need
to
be
incorporated
in
the
plan.
So
it's
actually
a
very
interesting
work
being
done
and
we'll
see
how
successful
we
are,
hopefully
I'll
be
able
to
report
back
some
good
news
and
then,
by
the
end
of
the
year,
even
better
news.
D
D
So,
thank
you
very
much
for
coming,
and
so
it's
also
my
pleasure.
The
the
first
item
in
this
part
of
my
report
is
to
highlight
something
that
is
new
and
something
that
we've
been
doing
for
the
last
few
years.
So
for
the
last
few
years,
the
Arlington
County
Fire
Department
and
our
newly
named
Department
of
Public
Safety
communications
and
emergency
management.
Our
office
of
emergency
management
have
undertaken
efforts
to
encourage
young
women
to
explore
careers
in
firefighting
and
Public.
Safety.
D
Women
are
traditionally
underrepresented
in
these
fields,
and
research
shows
that
by
providing
high
school-age
girls
early
exposure
to
these
careers
and
by
delivering
a
dynamic
and
inspiring
learning
experience,
equity
will
improve
in
our
County
and
beyond
so
hurricane.
That's
har,
Ric,
ane,
hurricane
Arlington
and
campy
represent
Arlington's
commitment
to
supporting
this
initiative,
while
continuing
to
be
a
leader
in
the
field
of
Public
Safety.
D
So
now
I'd
like
to
introduce
Lawrence,
Dean
Stroh
who's
here
from
the
Department
of
Public
Safety
communications
and
Emergency
Management
and
she's,
with
firefighter
Marcia
Reed
from
the
fire
department
and
Oh
Sarah
Sarah
and
I
can
never
pronounce
your
last
name
so
I'm
just
gonna,
say
Sarah
is
here
to
provide
you
with
a
brief
synopsis
of
the
two
programs.
So
take
it
away.
N
Great
I
am
so
excited
to
be
here
to
talk
to
you
today
about
hurricane
Arlington.
Hurricane
Arlington
is
a
new
initiative
from
the
Department
of
Public
Safety
communications
and
Emergency
Management.
It's
our
new
name,
it's
a
mouthful,
but
everything
about
that
statement
is
new.
On
its
face.
Hurricane
Arlington
is
a
summer
camp
for
girls
interested
in
emergency
management,
but
really
it
is
so
much
more
Hurricane.
Arlington
is
our
commitment
to
our
residents,
to
our
youth
and
to
our
profession,
to
help
establish
better
practices
and
equity
across
our
population.
N
It's
a
career
development
experience
as
an
exploration
experience
for
those
interested
in
disasters,
but
also
the
allied
fields
of
public
health
crisis,
communications,
public
service
in
government
and
meteorology.
Lastly,
it
represents
a
confluence
of
effort
between
women
across
departments
here
in
the
county,
but
also
the
state,
the
region
and
now
onwards
to
the
nation.
N
So
to
begin,
I'm
gonna
start
with
the
questions
we
usually
get,
which
is.
Why
are
we
doing
this
now
and
why
are
we
doing
this?
For
girls?
I
generally
start
with
a
story
about
what
happened
in
Japan
in
March
of
2011.
There
was
a
group
of
high
school
students
in
a
small
seaside
village
in
Japan
who
felt
the
earth
shake
beneath
their
feet.
They
recently
had
received
disaster
resilience
education,
and
they
knew
that
because
of
the
earthquake,
they
should
expect
an
impending
tsunami.
N
They
decided
to
evacuate
their
school
on
their
own
and
they
started
moving
towards
a
a
mascare
point.
They
didn't
just
go
themselves.
They
stopped
at
the
elementary
school
on
the
grounds
adjacent
to
them
and
took
the
younger
children
with
them.
They
passed
that
evacuation
point
determining
that.
It
was
not
high
enough.
They
passed
a
second
and
onwards
to
a
third,
the
seaside
village,
only
3,000
people,
a
thousand
people,
died
that
day
only
five
of
them
were
school
children.
N
It
underscores
our
emphasis
about
the
importance
of
educating
our
youth
and
in
duality
with
that,
we
need
to
consider
why
we
were
doing
this
for
women.
Specifically,
women
tend
to
be
disaster
victims.
The
UN
disaster,
the
UN
United
Nations
Development
Program,
recognizes
that
women
are
disproportionately
affected
by
disaster,
specifically
in
relation
to
loss
of
income,
loss
of
life
and
sexual
assault.
This
represents
a
motivation
for
us
to
try
and
narrow
those
consequences.
However,
we
also
need
to
recognize
the
positive
contributions
women
make
to
emergency
preparedness.
Women
are
the
disaster
preparedness
engines
for
their
homes.
N
Research
shows
that
women
are
more
likely
to
prepare
their
families,
make
plans,
gather
supplies
the
heat,
evacuation
warnings
and
they're
also
more
likely
to
volunteer
in
disaster
relief
efforts.
This
provides
our
primary
motivation
for
the
camp,
but
there's
also
some
prefer
development
of
professional
development,
motivations
as
well.
First
women
are
underrepresented
in
emergency
management
careers.
At
the
staff
level,
women
usually
make
up
about
34
percent
of
the
emergency
management
workforce
and
that
decreases
to
8
percent.
When
you
look
at
director
level
positions,
emergency
management
also
as
a
profession,
is
relatively
hidden.
N
N
N
N
We
had
four
major
camp
values,
the
first
of
which
was
synergy.
We
recognize
that
it
is
very
important
to
unite
a
diverse
group
of
individuals
into
a
single,
powerful
force.
I'm
really
excited
to
announce
how
diverse
the
camp
was.
It
reached
all
neighborhoods
of
the
county.
We
had
about
25
girls,
who
came
from
the
north
side,
the
south
side,
the
central
part
of
Arlington.
We
had
multiple
races
represented
multiple
religions,
we
had
girls
with
special
special
needs,
access
and
functional
needs
and
disabilities.
N
We
even
had
a
Syrian
refugee,
so
this
represents
the
broad-based
nature
of
our
program.
The
second
camp
value
was
adventure
and
creativity.
Emergency
management,
when
you're
dealing
with
disasters
is
by
nature
very
complex,
very
complicated
you're,
often
dealing
with
novel
things
and
procedures
that
you
have
to
invent
on
the
fly.
We
wanted
to
communicate
this
in
our
curriculum
and
we
often
gave
the
girls
challenges
that
force
them
to
be
adventurous
and
creative.
Here
they've
received
their
CPR
training
and
we
have
removed
one
arm
from
their
equation.
N
We
ask
them:
you've
learned
CPR,
now,
try
to
do
it
one-handed
and
what
you
may
not
be
able
to
see
in
this
picture
is
those
two
arms
of
those
two
girls
come
from
different
girls.
This
requires
them
to
use
teamwork
and
communication
skills
to
accomplish
the
goal.
So
it's
twofold:
we
get
our
disaster
skill
education,
but
also
our
leadership
development.
We
also
talked
a
lot
about
grit.
There
is
no
lack
of
importance
around
perseverance,
especially
in
today's
day
and
age.
N
We
often
put
them
through
lengthy
challenges
where
they
had
to
assemble
700
piece,
Lego
kits
using
the
incident
command
system.
Here
they
are
drafting
some
public
safety
announcements
for
us.
They
are
working
on
their
domain
where
they
are
most
successful
on
social
media,
they're,
drafting,
Twitter
and
Facebook
posts
for
us,
the
content
they
developed,
we
put
on
our
live
social
media
feeds.
It
was
that
good
and
they
helped
us
reach
5,000
people
with
heat
safety
messages
lat.
N
Our
last
value
was
professionalism
and
for
us,
professionalism
is
not
perfection,
but
a
commitment
to
the
pursuit
of
integrity
and
excellence,
and
that's
something
we
wanted
to
communicate
to
them.
They
ended
up
leaving
the
camp
with
three
professional
certifications,
CPR
incident
command
system
and
storm
spotting.
So
for
the
girls
who
are
getting
summer
jobs,
this
will
help
them
be
babysitter's,
lifeguards
and
camp
counselors,
but
for
those
directly
entering
the
workforce,
it's
going
to
give
them
a
leg
up,
especially
in
public
safety
and
security
jobs.
N
Hurricane
Arlington
ran
for
a
40-hour
one
week,
experience
at
the
end
of
June,
but
that's
not
where
I,
where
it
stops.
We
have
ten
months
of
continuing
engagement.
Activities
planned
for
them
follows
about
once
a
month
that
they
can
re-engage
with
us
to
get
additional
training,
also
community
service
hours
and
volunteer
opportunities.
At
that
point,
we'll
transition
some
of
those
girls
to
early
career
support,
especially
if
it
makes
sense
with
their
career
tracking
I,
can't
say
enough
about
the
support
we
had
for
Hurricane
Arlington.
N
We
certainly
had
a
broad
base
of
internal
supporters,
professional
partners,
but
also
small
business
and
private
sector
partners
within
the
county.
We
had
excellent
support
from
partner
agencies,
including
the
Red
Cross
and
other
nonprofits
as
well.
I
couldn't
have
done
this
without
the
team
of
people,
the
advisory
board
that
we
put
together
or
the
support
of
the
director
and
deputy
director
Jack
brown
and
we'll
flagler
from
the
Department
of
Public
Safety
communications
and
Emergency
Management.
We
got
we
received
speaker
support,
in-kind
support,
financial
support.
N
We
had
a
huge
surge
from
the
community,
both
professional
and
local,
and
interest
in
this
program.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
what
I
leave
you
with
these
are
24
girls,
who
now
can
spot
dangerous
weather
before
it
hits
their
soccer
practice
and
move
their
friends
indoors.
They
can
start
CPR
and
provide
immediate
first
aid
to
a
swim
coach
who
has
a
cardiac
arrest
at
the
swimming
pool.
They
know
how
to
use
a
fire
extinguisher
and
can
stop
a
fire
in
their
chemistry
classroom
from
burning
it
to
the
ground.
N
They
know
how
to
wash
their
hands
and
prevent
an
outbreak
of
stomach
flu
at
their
school.
They
can
answer
questions
when
the
media
asked
them
about
how
they
witnessed
an
accident,
they
can
hold
themselves
with
leadership
and
poise
and
give
a
confident
introduction.
These
are
our
future
public
health
nurses.
Are
our
future
government
servants
they're
our
future
meteorologists?
There
are
future
emergency
managers.
Hurricane
Arlington
also
represents
a
movement
I'm
very
excited
to
announce
that
it
has
been
taken
up
by
other
jurisdictions
in
the
state,
but
also
across
the
nation.
N
There
will
be
hurricane
Norfolk
next
year
and
then
also
hurricane
Florida,
their
State
Department
of
Emergency
Management
is
taking
it
up.
We're
excited
to
be
presenting
our
program
at
the
professional
conference,
this
coming
fall
and
we
have
great
expectations
for
the
future.
At
this
point,
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Marcia.
G
Hello,
I'm
Marcia
Reid,
firefighter
medic
with
the
county
for
the
past
ten
years.
Also
chair
of
camp
heat.
First
of
all,
I
like
to
thank
you
all
for
allowing
us
to
share
a
glimpse
of
camp
heat
with
you.
Camp
heat
initiative
began
in
2012.
It
was
founded
by
several
female
firefighters
in
the
department
with
support
of
the
fire
chief.
The
camp
provides
a
unique
and
challenging
hands-on
introduction
to
firefighter
and
emergency
medical
service,
and
it
builds
relationships
also
a
foundation
for
long-term
mentorships.
G
When
the
camp
started,
we
began
with
the
end
goal
to
recruit
women
to
the
fire
service.
We
declared
our
mission
and
executed
a
plan
with
rural
research.
We
teach
modify
firefighting
skills
through
teamwork
and
aiding
young
girls
with
value
such
as
commitment,
dedication
and
perseverance.
We
create
a
fun
interactive,
hands-on
learning
experience
by
allowing
the
campers
to
participate
in
hands-on
activities.
It
promotes
confidence
and
positive
reassurance
that
they
possess
the
ability
to
perform
the
fundamental
skills
of
firefighting.
G
Can
he
evolves
more?
Each
year
this
year
we
posited
a
we
piloted
a
junior
mentor
program
which
allowed
previous
campus
to
return
and
aid
in
the
teaching
of
new
campers,
while
maintaining
the
interest
in
firefighting.
Campy
is
a
four-day
three-night
program
supervised
by
female
firefighters,
with
overnight
accommodations

Before
you
are
some
of
the
moments
captured
at
Camp,
II
campers
learn
innovative
skills
on
thinking
and
problem-solving
through
a
classroom
setting
and
practical
interactions
they
are
taught
to.
G
They
are
taught
about
fire
safety
and
prevention,
fire
ground
operations
such
as
proper
tool,
usage
vehicle
extrication
due
to
entrapment
proper
selection
and
use
of
fire,
hose
lines,
health
and
nutrition
and
a
detailed
knowledge
of
fire
extinguishers
to
include
classes
types
and
proper
operation.
Afterwards,
campers
get
to
apply
the
knowledge
and
skills
learn
through
a
simulated
real-life
emergency
in
a
controlled
setting.
Campers
partaking
evening
activities
at
Marymount,
University,
the
mentors
create
an
emergency
situation,
and
the
campers
must
work
together
to
resolve
the
challenge
that
is
presented
to
them.
We
have
daily
training.
G
These
exercises
incorporate
functional
movements
used
by
firefighters
for
our
daily
activities
like
fire,
hose
drags
and
forcible
entries,
such
as
swinging
a
sledgehammer.
Also,
during
the
program
camp
campers
receive
cardiopulmonary
resuscitation
skills,
CPR,
certifications,
taking
away
that
skill
may
assist
them
in
their
daily
lives.
G
Kathy
works
for
a
number
of
factors.
We
had
one
on
one
open
dialogue
with
campers:
we
have
developed
a
great
working
relationship
with
our
community.
One
in
particular,
is
the
relationship
the
fire
department
has
built
with
Marymount
University
at
Camp
II
we
emphasize
on
the
importance
of
Education
and
how
it
can
be
accomplished
while
having
a
career
in
fire
service
or
applying
or
prior
to
applying.
During
the
camp
session,
the
campers
have
overnight
accommodations
at
Marymount.
They
stay
in
the
dorm
rooms,
eat
in
the
dining
hall
and
use
the
campus
grounds
for
other
camp
activities.
G
G
So
here's
a
quick
recap:
we
work
to
recruit
female
campers
through
community
outreach
in
local
events.
The
junior
mentor
program
offers
past
campers
the
opportunity
to
re-engage,
earn
community
service
hours
and
complete
their
senior
projects.
Campi
offers
positive
publicity
opportunities
for
the
department
and
the
county.
This
year,
lone
camp
heat
was
featured
on
several
news
outlets
to
include
a
feature
article
in
The
Washington
Post.
G
Out
of
four
successful
camp
sessions,
we
have
received
feedback
from
the
campers
and
parents.
One
camper
stated
camp.
He
has
taught
me
skills.
I,
never
knew
was
possible.
A
career
in
the
fire
service,
I,
never
thought
about,
even
though
I
thought
firefighters
were
cool.
The
hands-on
experience
has
showed
me
firsthand
that
this
is
possible
for
me,
and
I
will
apply
to
help
my
community,
as
noted
in
a
slide
60%
of
campers,
came
to
camp
eat
without
any
knowledge
of
fire
service.
G
This
has
brought
knowledge
to
families
as
well,
one
parent
reported,
in
addition
to
impacting
our
daughter's
life
she's,
hoping
to
do
NT
school,
a
dual
EMT
course.
Next
year
in
high
school,
you
have
also
perhaps
most
importantly
raised
awareness
among
the
whole
family
and
everyone.
We
know
regarding
females,
firefighters,
90
percent
of
campers,
complete
the
camp
with
the
interest
in
applying
to
the
fire
department-
that's
quoted
by
one
of
our
parents.
Just
so
you
know,
we
continue
to
think
this
was
by
far
the
best
camp.
Our
daughter
has
ever
been
in
hard-working,
but
also
fun.
G
B
D
So
I
just
wanted
to
conclude
by
just
offering
one
or
two
comments.
First
of
all,
camp
heat
has
been
around
for
the
last
four
years
and
it's
I
just
want
to
thank
that
the
the
current
chief
former
chief
and
all
we
have
a
lot
of
staff
here
from
the
fire
department
who
spent
a
lot
of
time
supporting
an
idea
which
you
hear
about
now
you
go
cheetah
I
mean
that's
clearly
was
a
great
idea.
D
Have
these
little
cards
with
them
and
they
had
pictures
of
people
who
were
they
were
supposed
to
come
up
to
and
introduce
themselves
and
as
soon
as
I
walked
in
I
had
self
described
after
I
was
met
some
of
these
girls.
They
said
to
me:
I've
never
done
this
before.
In
my
life
they
came
up
to
me.
Looked
me
straight
in
the
eye
and
they
said
hi
tell
you
I
want
to
tell
you
exactly
what
it
is
that
I
did
over
the
last
week,
and
it
was
amazing
and
impressive.
D
D
So,
thank
you.
Everybody
for
that
I
have
one
I,
have
one
more
item
for
the
board
today,
and
that
is
to
give
you
an
update
on
and
if
you
recall,
in
the
fiscal
2018
budget
adopted
earlier
this
year
back
in
April,
you
included
$100,000
for
grant
funded
services
to
eligible
nonprofit
organizations,
providing
legal
or
other
emergency
services
to
Arlington
County
residents,
and
also
to
those
who
may
be
subject
for
those
residents
who
may
be
subject
to
non
criminal
federal
immigration
enforcement
action
in
those
residents
who
are
refugees.
D
So
the
guidance
required
that
I
provide
you
with
a
recommended
process
and
timeline
for
awarding
these
funds,
and
that's
what
I'm
doing
today,
the
scope
of
services
that
we're
going
to
move
ahead
with
I'm
recommending
grant
funding
be
used
to
support
services
for
the
following
four
areas.
Number
one
is
know
your
rights,
presentations
and
material
distribution.
Number
two
is
for
family
preparedness
workshops.
Number
three
is
for
individual
legal
consultations
and
number
four
is
for
lawyer
referral
and
so
as
to
the
timeline.
D
D
That
will
be
the
deadline
of
submission
for
proposals
the
week
of
August
7th
we're
going
to
have
an
evaluation
committee
to
review
and
make
recommendations
to
my
to
myself,
and
then
we
will
be
back
to
the
board
at
the
September
meeting,
the
September
16th
meeting
of
the
county
board
for
appropriation
and
grant
agreement,
hopefully
beginning
the
provision
of
those
services
on
October
1st.
So
that's
my
summary
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
and
that
concludes
my
report.
B
L
Exactly
and
that's
you
know
what
what's
been
provided.
Certainly
over
the
course
of
last
year
is
a
lot
of
that
kind
of
very
preliminary
level.
Workshops
know
your
rights
campaigns
providing
a
little
bit
of
general
information,
and
our
hope
here
is
there's
really
an
urgent
need
to
provide
individualized
legal
consultation,
legal
services.
For
example,
we've
had
we've
heard
from
some
of
the
nonprofit's
about
providing
power
of
attorneys
in
the
event
that
in
mixed-status
families,
one
or
both
of
the
parents,
you
know
are
subject
to
an
enforcement
action.
L
Who
would
then
you
know
kind
of
take
over
custody
of
the
the
children
if
they
were
to
remain
other
families,
you
know
would
make
the
decision
to
to
get
visas
for
the
entire
family
to
be
to
return
to
their
home
country,
trying
to
work
through
what
what
are
called
family
preparedness
plans
again
to
take
away
that
uncertainty.
That
I
think
has
been.
You
know
very
prevalent,
not
just
in
our
community
but
across
the
country,
to
real
devastating
effects.
I
appreciate.
K
That
so
much
I
think,
as
we've
heard
from
our
own
Department
of
Human
Services
and
certainly
a
lot
of
our
safety
net
providers.
It
is
that
uncertainty
that
is
leading
to
cascading
consequences
about
people
withdrawing
from
food
assistance
or
other
needed
services.
So
you
know
even
thinking
about
this.
Trying
to
imagine
a
family
going
through
this
I
think
is
Frank
gut
wrenching
and
I'm
so
glad
to
know
that
the
allocation
of
funds
will
be
able
to
target
that
particular
Gap
area,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
your
work.
J
Problem,
so
thank
you.
I
certainly
applaud
this
initiative
as
well.
I
was
just
though
hoping
to
find
out
where,
where
are
we
spearheading
this
within
County
government?
You
know,
we've
got
a
lot
of
silos
and
I'm.
Just
kind
of
would
like
to
understand
how
you're
how
we're
planning
to
administer
this,
but
also
in
terms
of
any
gap,
analysis
and
determination.
How
did
we
go
about
determining
what
we
wanted
to
focus
on
I
mean?
Did
we
do?
Did
we
do
surveys?
Did
we
do
you
know
outreach
studies,
how
how
how
did
we?
L
J
B
Right,
that's
it.
We
will
be
moving
into
a
closed
session.
I
need
to
make
the
following
motion:
I
move
that
the
County
Board
can
be
in
a
closed
meeting
as
authorized
by
the
Virginia
Code
sections
2.2
3
7
1
1,
a
3
5
7,
&
8
for
the
following
purposes,
discussing
the
expansion
of
an
existing
business
in
the
county,
where
no
previous
announcement
has
been
made
of
the
businesses
interest
in
expanding
their
facilities
in
the
county.
