A
Gentlemen,
welcome
to
the
july
19th
meeting
of
the
arlington
county
board
our
recess
july
meeting.
This
is
board
chair
katie
crystal
I'm
joined
today
by
my
colleagues
vice
chairman,
mr
dorsey,
ms
garvey,
mr
deferenti,
and
mr
carontonis
is
joining
us
virtually
for
medical
reasons.
Mr
carantonis,
are
you
on
the
line
with
us.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
karen
tonis.
All
right,
we
are
going
to
begin
with
recognitions
reports
from
the
board
from
the
manager,
and
the
first
is
one
that
I'd
like
to
begin
with.
A
As
everyone
surely
knows,
on
june
24th,
just
a
few
weeks
ago,
the
united
states
supreme
court
issued
a
dobbs
v
jackson
decision
that
abandoned
established
precedence
and
overturned
roe
versus
wade
for
this
country,
the
ensuing
restrictions
and
prohibition
that
we
have
seen
across
the
country
on
the
ability
to
access
abortion
care
poses
a
dramatic
threat
to
health
and
safety
of
americans,
and,
specifically
in
our
commonwealth
and
very
much
here
in
our
community
of
arlington
virginia
governor
glenn's.
A
Junkin's,
proposed
ban
on
abortion
at
15
weeks
threatens
the
safety
and
rights
of
virginians,
including
arlingtonians,
and
would
create
a
serious
public
health
concern
in
our
community.
This
board
has
been
in
conversation
among
ourselves,
with
our
professional
staff
and
with
providers
of
abortion
care
throughout
the
region.
A
We
are
acknowledging
in
our
statement.
We
know.
Science
demonstrates
medical
research
and
practice
demonstrates
that
abortion
care
is
a
critical
component
of
health
care
and
that
in
a
country
with
maternal
mortality
rates
that
are
more
than
double
those
of
other
developed
nations,
as
well
as
an
existing
shortage
of
maternity
healthcare
providers,
no
guaranteed
access
to
postpartum
care
or
paid
parental
leave.
We
know
that,
given
those
circumstances,
state
forced
pregnancy
and
birth
will
increase
mobility,
morbidity
and
mortality.
A
Furthermore,
denial
of
safe
abortion
care
is
a
public
health
threat
because
it
is
linked
to
the
negative
two
negative
social
determinants
of
health
for
existing
children,
children
whose
parents
are
unable
to
access
abortion
services
are
more
likely
to
live
below
the
poverty
line.
They
are
more
likely
to
be
exposed
to
intimate
partner
violence.
Therefore,
restrictions
on
the
right
to
access
abortion
are
a
public
health
threat
to
arlington,
and
so
my
colleagues
and
I
are
here
today
to
affirm
two
commitments.
The
first
is
a
commitment
to
the
legislative
and
regulatory
protection
of
safe
abortion
care.
A
This
is
a
reaffirmation
of
a
long-standing
priority
of
protecting
reproductive
rights
as
a
core
tenant
of
our
agenda
for
the
for
the
virginia
general
assembly.
It
is
important
to
know
that,
right
now,
the
commonwealth
of
virginia
does
protect
the
right
to
a
safe
and
legal
abortion,
and
we
are
going
to
continue
to
advocate
vocally
to
the
general
assembly
that
it
uphold
the
reproductive
health
protection
act
of
2022,
which
repealed
unnecessary
barriers
to
abortion
and
to
head
off
any
further
restrictions
on
the
right
to
a
safe
abortion.
A
We
also
call
upon
the
general
assembly
and
will
advocate
the
general
assembly,
take
further
steps
like
the
introduction
of
a
constitutional
amendment
in
virginia
to
recognize
the
right
to
abortion.
We
are
going
to
continue
to
advocate
at
every
federal
avenue
legislatively
as
well
as
regulatory.
We
join
with
others
in
calling
on
the
fda
to
assert
its
preemptive
approval
authority
of
abortion
pills
medication,
abortion,
which
now
comprises
the
majority
of
abortions.
In
this
community.
A
We
call
upon
the
fda
to
approve
abortion
medication
for
up
to
12
weeks
of
pregnancy,
consistent
with
world
health
organization
recommendations
and
remove
unnecessary
fda
requirements
like
those
requiring
that
pharmacies
receive
additional
certification
to
dispense,
part
of
the
the
abortion
medication,
abortion
pill
combination
and,
additionally,
we
want
to
affirm
our
ongoing
commitment
to
public
health,
as
well
as
to
reproductive
health
care.
In
this
community,
our
family
planning
clinic
exists
already.
It
provides
affordable
and
accessible
reproductive
health
care
for
women
and
men
and
teens
of
all
sexual
orientations
and
gender
identities.
A
We
have
contraceptive
contraception
options,
emergency
contraceptives,
exams,
pregnancy,
testing,
referrals
among
other
services,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
in
our
community
knows
this
care
will
continue
to
be
provided.
It
is
available
without
income
limits
on
a
sliding
scale
for
those
who
need
it
as
a
means
of
supporting
reproductive
health
and
importantly,
establishing
and
maintaining
trusted
relationships
to
protect
vulnerable
community
members
transient
community
members
from
misinformation,
of
which
there
is
a
great
deal
targeted
at
pregnant
people.
A
We
are
committed
to
building
on
those
efforts
and
we
are
continuing
to
work
with
and
establish
more
relationships
with
regional
abortion
care
providers
to
make
sure
that
arlingtonians
can
access
that
care,
including
telemedicine,
provided
medical
abortion.
We
are
also
going
to
work
with
these
providers
to
seek
to
identify
land
use
or
economic
development
tools
and
services
that
can
support
expansion
of
their
services
within
arlington,
and
we
will
emphasize
the
importance
of
provision
of
abortion,
care
and
preparedness
to
manage
the
emergency
health
impacts
of
any
restrictions
to
it.
With
our
community
healthcare
institutions.
A
In
short,
we
are
joining
with
the
many
arlingtonians
who
are
now
expressing
their
anger
and
frustration
and
their
fear
at
the
job,
dobbs
v
jackson
decision
and
it
glove
governor,
juncken's
threats
to
abortion
rights
in
virginia.
We
are
committed,
as
this
board
to
mitigating
and
preventing
the
public
health
crisis
that
these
actions
could
precipitate
and
we
will
advocate
for
the
protection
of
the
fundamental
human
right
to
bodily
autonomy.
A
C
Thank
you
for
the
statement.
I
guess
in
the
coverage.
C
Your
statement
reflects
my
views
and
the
support
and
the
consistency
this
we
will
advocate
and
we
will
work
for
the
reversal
of
this
decision
because
it
is
not
consistent
with
valuing
the
health
of
more
than
half
of
our
population.
D
Sure,
thank
you.
I've
got
a
few
notes
here,
because
this
has
a
lot
of
time
a
lot
of
experience,
a
lot
of
emotion,
a
lot
of
thoughts,
so
I'm
trying
to
pull
it
down
to
be
pretty
short.
So
I
came
of
age
and
grew
up
at
a
time
when
women
were
second-class
citizens.
D
I
got
all
kinds
of
messages
from
society
that
I
was
less
than
the
boys.
Women
couldn't
get
credit
cards.
There
were
no
there
weren't
women
in
public
office,
one
or
two
who
were
widows
there
were.
There
was
one
woman
reporter
nancy
dickerson
bless
her
heart.
D
There
was
really
no
models.
People
would
routinely
as
I
got
older.
I
mean
I
would
hear
people
say,
including
my
own
grandfather:
don't
go
to
college,
it's
a
waste
of
time,
you're
just
going
to
be
a
mother
and
have
children.
College
is
wasted
time
and
those
were
okay,
things
to
say
then,
and
despite
having
grown
up
with
that,
I
was
part
of
a
generation
that
came
of
age
and
you
know
we
started
fighting
for
our
rights.
Lots
of
things
went
on
and
it's
part
of
the
reason.
D
I
think
this
will
not
stand
because
this
is
now
being
inflicted
on
women
who
weren't
brainwashed
and
raised
like
that
women
are
trained
to
be,
you
know
and
raised
to
be
people
I
mean
that's.
What
all
feminism
is
is.
The
fact
that
is
is
the
idea
that
women
are
people,
so
I
don't
think
it's
going
to
stand
for
long.
D
I
think
we
are
going
to
see
new
efforts
to
get
around
what
are
the
newest
forms
of
fugitive
slave
laws
and
I'm
going
to
be
right
there
doing
everything
I
can
we're
going
to
set
up
our
newer
form
of
the
underground
railway
and
I'm
going
to
be
happy
to
sort
of
help
that
to
help
people
in
need,
stand
and
have
their
rights
to
bodily
autonomy.
That's
what
it
is.
I
hope,
as
we
do
this
and
as
I
say,
it's
not
going
to
stand
slavery
didn't
stand.
D
Women
got
voting
rights,
prohibition
didn't
stand,
these
are
things
society
does
evolve.
There
are
these
times
that
push
us
back.
I
am
convinced
that
it's
not
going
to
stand,
but
as
we're
working
on
this,
I
one
idea
I
want
to
get
across
to
people
is.
I
hope
we
can
be
better
about
our
language,
so
people
who
force
women
to
be
pregnant
are
not
pro-life
people
who
are
for
giving
guns
to
people
who
are
to
people
who
are
too
young
too
inexperienced
too
unhinged
to
have
them.
They
are
not
pro-life.
That's
pro-death.
D
If
you
ask
me,
people
who
do
not
support
health
care
for
all
are
not
pro-life
people
who
do
not
support
saving
our
client
are
saving
our
planet
and
doing
what
we
can
for
climate
change.
They
are
not
pro-life.
Nobody
who
holds
any
of
those
ideas.
I
don't
care
what
they
think
about
an
embryo
with
a
what
they
say
about
an
embryo
that
is
not.
They
are
not
pro-life
and
we
can't
let
them
keep
that
term.
D
We
are
on
the
other
side,
people
of
good
will.
We
need
to
start
speaking
really
plainly
about
what
is
pro-life
and
what,
frankly,
in
my
view,
is
pro-death,
so
I'm
hoping
that
actually,
we
will
end
up
stronger
going
through
this,
but
it's
going
to
be
a
very
difficult
time.
I
remember
how
it
was
before
it
wasn't
great.
It's
probably
going
to
be
even
worse
now
and
more
difficult
for
a
while,
but
we
are
determined
to
fight
in
any
way.
We
can.
Thank
you.
Yeah.
E
Dorsey,
thank
you,
madam
sharon.
Thank
you,
colleagues
for
your
your
expressions
here.
I
I
certainly
share
in
your
your
concern,
your
dismay,
your
disgust
and
your
repudiation
of
of
the
dobbs
decision,
and
it
strikes
me
and
it's
a
stark
reminder
that
in
our
country
the
ability
for
people
who
have
been
marginalized
and
denied
autonomy
and
rights
that
are
afforded
to
some
is
not
an
uncommon
history.
E
E
There
is
an
extreme
pressure
on
local
governments
to
actually
make
sure
that
the
people
that
we
represent,
who
are
part
of
our
communities
who
have
access
to
all
of
the
best
information
and
the
best
care,
and
that's
why
I'm
very
appreciative
of
the
statement.
It
reaffirms
what
our
priorities
and
principles
are
and
makes
very
clear
to
those
people
who
live
in
arlington
that
we
will
support
you
in
making
the
autonomous
decisions
that,
even
though
our
supreme
court
has
decided
you
are
not
empowered
to
make,
we
will
absolutely
uphold
your
right
to
do
so.
Thanks.
B
Yes,
just
short
my
own
chair,
thank
you
so
much
for
for
working
on
this
statement
and
for
stating
what
is
most
important
right
now
to
to
do
for
us
to
it
is.
It
is
something
that
doesn't
happen
very
often
in
modern
democracy
is
to
have
a
fundamental
constitutional
right
removed
removed
by
a
body
that
has
also
removed
several
other
protections
in
in
an
amazing
spree
this
this
last
weeks
of
june.
B
I
don't
have
words
to
describe
how
disappointing
how
infuriating
this
is,
and
I
think
that
not
only
women
in
arlington
have
felt
that
they
marched
they
protested,
that
they
continue
to
protest
and
organize,
and
our
job
is
to
stand
with
them
and
to
affirm
that
we
stand
with
them
with
their
proper
reproductive
rights.
That
will
do
everything
in
our
power
to
provide
the
care
to
provide
a
safe
place
in
virginia
in
arlington
virginia
for
for
those
who
seek
care
to
receive
it
as
human
beings
as
those
who
have
still
the
rights.
B
Despite
the
political
statement
and
the
political
decision
of
the
supreme
court,
I
just
want
to
invite
everybody
to
read
the
dissent
opinion
to
the
dobbs
decision.
It's
a
stern,
a
very
concerning
text
and
I
rarely
have
read
something
that
has
moved
me
more
than
this.
It's
very
easy
to
find
just
google
it
and
you
will
find
it.
Thank
you
so
much
for
working
with
us.
A
Thank
you,
mr
carontonis.
I
appreciate
that
very
much.
We
are,
to
our
chagrin,
unable
to
take
binding
votes
influencing
this
particular
issue,
so
there
is
no
vote
before
us,
but
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
share
a
statement
on
behalf
and
to
clarify,
as
mr
dorsey
said,
with
our
community,
what
they
can
expect
of
us
during
this
time
of
disappointment
and
frustration
from
there
moving
on
to
a
considerably
more
pedestrian
issue,
but
one
over
which
we
do
have
full
authority,
which
is
to
say
the
county
board
meeting
procedures.
A
A
We
have
also,
unfortunately,
seen
a
fair
amount
of
effort
to
circumvent
rules
of
public
comment,
and
so
currently
the
rules
state
that
the
public
comments
or
speakers
may
come
in
through
a
time
when
the
last
speaker
is
called.
A
I
think
we've
seen
that
lead
to
a
little
bit
of
disorganization
in
a
way
that
is
inconsistent
with
the
level
of
organization
with
which
we
hope
to
run
our
meetings
so
that
all
arlingtonians
have
an
opportunity
to
participate,
and
so
in
order
to
give
us
a
little
bit
more
time
to
organize
accordingly
to
give
our
deputy
clerk
the
opportunities
to
work
with
speakers
as
they
sign
up
to
make
them
aware
of
our
rules.
I
am
proposing
here
an
amendment
to
our
2022
meeting
procedures.
A
That
is
as
follows,
which
is
that
a
speaker
must
complete
a
speaker
slip
either
online
or
in
person
identifying
the
subject
of
the
public
comment
and
submitting
it
to
our
clerk
before
8
15
am
at
the
regular
saturday
meeting
that
replaces
the
current
clause
and
rule,
which
is
until
the
last
speaker
is
called
by
the
clerk.
So
we
think
this,
I
hope
any
any.
Let
me
pause,
and
this
is
a
motion
I
need
a
second
before
I
continue
to
speak
to
it.
Great.
Thank
you.
That's
been
seconded
by
mr
diferenti.
A
So
again,
our
aspiration
is
that
this
is
completely
in
keeping
with
the
spirit
of
our
public
comment
rules
which
again
are
for
people
to
bring
forward
arlentonians
to
bring
forward
topics
that
may
not
otherwise
be
on
the
county
board's
agenda
to
allow
for
organization
of
that
and
for
public
views
on
different
topics
to
be
heard
and
also
ensure
that
we
can
get
to
the
regular
business
of
our
saturday
agendas
and
time.
Are
there
any
questions
about
this
proposed
amendment?
C

and
to
the
climate
change
energy
and
environment
commission
reappoint
kevin
vincent
for
a
term
ending
july
30th
of
2024
that
needs
no.
A
Second,
I
think
we
are
ready
for
a
vote
all
those
in
favor
of
these
appointments.
Please
say
aye
aye
and
he
opposed
all
right.
Mr
karen
jonas,
did
we
have
an
eye
vote
perfect.
Thank
you
so
much.
That
cares
unanimously.
Our
congratulations
and
our
sincere
thanks
to
those
who
will
continue
or
begin
serving
our
community
in
these
important
advisory
capacities.
We
appreciate
you,
okay,
moving
next
to
board
member
reports.
Mr
carantonis,
I
believe
that
we
are
beginning
with
you
for
a
presentation
about
the
spotsylvania
solar
center.
B
It's
that's
a
happier
subject
actually
than
than
what
we
started
with
today.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
to
visit
an
amazing
utility
solar
power
plant
that
is
just
an
hour
away
from
arlington
it's
in
spotsylvania
county,
and
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that,
because
this
was
really
a
very
impressive
experience
for
me.
I
wanted
to
also
to
say
why
I
was
there.
B
Then
we
have
a
art
economic
development,
a
few
weeks
ago,
organized
a
series
of
of
visit
tours
for
board
members
to
many
arlington
based
businesses.
One
of
them
is
aes,
a
business
that
is
in
russians,
an
energy
energy
provider
and
an
energy
company,
and
one
of
the
biggest
projects
of
aas
is
what
I'm
going
to
talk
about
that.
Please
next
slide.
B
So
in
sponsor
yeah,
can
you
yeah
in
sponsylvania
county?
As
I
said
about
60
miles
from
here,
we
have
now
the
largest
solar
project
in
virginia
and
the
largest
east
of
the
rockies,
at
least
at
this
time.
This
is
mostly
energy
to
energy,
for
business,
to
business
supply
it
produces
485
megawatts,
and
it
will
talk
about
what
this
means,
starting
with
the
fact
that
it
removes
825,
000
tons
of
co2.
B
Actually,
I
shouldn't
say
removes
it:
saves
the
emission
of
825
000
tons
of
co2,
which
is
the
offset
capacity
just
to
illustrate
how
much
a
ton
of
co2
offset
is,
is
about
the
the
co2
that
an
average
motorized
conventionally
motorized
vehicle
would
emit
if
it
drove
23
000
miles,
it
is
built
and
owned
and
operated
by
aes
corporation,
a
fortune
500
global
global
energy
company,
which
is
founded
in
arlington,
it's
based
in
roslyn,
and
has
offices
in
indianapolis
in
amsterdam,
in
panama
city
in
santiago
de
chile,
and
is
a
global
player.
B
B
So
I
was
there
during
inauguration,
and
I
heard
a
lot
about
how
stable
this
power
power
supply
is
how
stable
the
price
of
this
hours
for
this
power
supply
will
be
for
our
economy
and
for
our
region
in
total,
and
I
was
stunned
to
you
know
to
absorb
all
these
numbers,
starting
with
this
485
megawatts,
which
is
the
capacity
the
the
the
capacity
of
this
utility
scale
solar
park.
B
It
can
power,
I
was
told
61
000
virginia
homes,
and
then
somebody
from
california
explained
to
me
that
actually,
this
is
the
equivalent
of
150
000
california
homes,
and
this
is
because
the
average
virginia
home
is
way
less
efficient
or
the
the
specs
of
the
average
virginia
home
is
almost
half
the
specs,
the
efficiency,
the
energy
efficiency
specs
of
a
california
home.
B
While
this
plant
is
dedicated
to
commercial
customers,
the
size
and
the
scale
of
this
plant
was
a
very
powerful
illustration
for
me
for
what
it
takes
to
actually
provide
a
renewable
power
supply
for
a
mid-sized
town,
61
000
homes
in
virginia.
It
also
made
it
very
clear
to
me
that
just
the
production
of
energy
of
renewables
is
not
enough.
We
we
really
have
to
work
on
efficiency
so
that
every
electron
we
can
extract
from
this
renewable
power
source
is
optimally
used.
It
needs
about
5,
200
acres
of
land.
B
The
land
disturbance
permit
alone
was
about
2800
acres,
and
it
is
it's
still
agriculturally
usable
land
under
conditions.
You
will
see
it's,
you
know
there
are
there's
a
sheep
kurd
operation
that
uses
the
the
green
and
the
pastures
there.
Agrival
tanks
is
a
is
a
new
emerging
sector
in
in
virginia,
and
I
hope
that
we
will
be
able
to
make
the
most
out
of
that.
So,
in
summary,
I
was
very
impressed
of
that.
B
I
know
that
about
december
we
will
be
celebrating
the
hopefully
coming
online
of
the
solar
plant,
the
solar
park,
that
will
be
powering
significant
percentage
of
our
needs
here
in
arlington,
our
domestic
and
commercial
needs,
but
this
was
for
me
a
very
powerful
example
of
how
much
it
takes
and
that
it
is
actually
possible
to
have
it
here.
Sometimes
we
we
associate
solar
solar
farms
with
you
know:
desert
places,
new
mexico,
etc.
B
This
is
actually
here
it's
in
virginia,
it's
just
next
door
from
arlington
people
can
visit
that
it's
a
it's
extremely
interesting
to
to
to
drive
down
there
and
see
that
and
more
is
about
to
come
in
virginia
another
415
megawatts
of
production
capacity
are
planned
for
the
next
couple
of
years
by
the
same
provider
and
just
one
of
more
of
many
providers
here.
Thank
you.
That
was
all
about
my
my
report.
From
this.
B
A
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
carontonis.
That
sounds
like
a
really
exciting
event
and
an
exciting
partnership
for
the
region.
Let
me
turn
now
to
mr
dorsey
with
a
report
about
the
creation
of
a
new
community
response
for
emergency
preparedness
and
readiness.
Thank.
E
You,
madam
chair,
at
this
point.
It
is
proposed
until
we
take
action,
but
I'm
excited
to
share
this
all
with
you
so
over
the
course
of
the
last
year,
or
so
with
the
covet
pandemic.
Among
us,
we
wanted
to
really
take
a
look
at
how
arlington
was
poised
to
respond
to
emergencies
and
really
be
a
resilient
community.
And,
as
you
know,
in
the
aftermath
of
9
11,
we
established
an
advisory
commission,
the
emergency
preparedness
advisory
commission.
E
That
is
structured
much
like
many
of
the
other
commissions
that
advise
the
board
to
help
us
pursue
that
posture,
and
the
mission
of
epac
was
very
artfully
drafted
to
be
to
support
the
safety,
readiness
and
resilient
resilience
of
arlington
county
by
providing
policy
and
implementation
advice
to
the
county
board
and
liaisoning
liaising
with
the
whole
community
residents,
businesses,
schools,
volunteers,
community
organizations,
visitors
and
others
to
ensure
community
resources
are
leveraged
and
emergency
preparedness
efforts
meet
community
needs
that
are
inclusive,
comprehensive
and
coordinated,
and,
as
we
took
a
close
look
in
conjunction
with
the
commission
itself
at
at
how
we
were
able
to
respond
to
the
pandemic,
we
realized
that
there
were
ways
in
which
we
could
do
better
and
so
from
that
came
a
re-envisioning
of
how
we
could
establish
our
resilience
and
preparedness
posture
and
from
it
comes
a
proposal
to
establish
a
new
group
which
is
community
advancing
resilience
and
readiness
together
or
cart.
E
Even
if
we
are
not
focused
on
predicting
it
in
the
near
term,
we
will
be
adaptable
and
able
to
deal
with
whatever
may
come
before
us,
and
so
this
group
carte
will
advance
that
goal
by
taking
a
an
approach
that
is
modeled
on
successful
efforts
to
bring
the
whole
community
into
these
broad
public
policy
goals.
If
we
can
move
to
the
next
slide.
E
So
as
we
have
learned
with
our
complete
count
and
our
complete
vaccination
committees,
there
is
an
absolute
brilliance
that
comes
from
having
an
open
door,
big
tent
approach
to
inviting
people
together
to
help
understand
how
we
better
serve
the
community
so
leading
from
those
experiences,
as
well
as
the
food
security
task
force.
E
For
example,
cart
is,
is
going
to
be
designed
to
bring
a
diverse
group
of
stakeholders
together
that
represent
all
facets
of
our
community,
but
instead
of
subjecting
them
to
a
deliberative
process
that
requires
quorums
and
set
meeting
dates
and
making
participation,
creating
barriers
to
participation.
E
We
want
this
to
be
barrier-free
and
inviting
people
to
join
in
as
flexible
way
as
it
makes
sense
for
them
and
their
the
organizations
that
they
represent
so
building
on
these
successful
models,
cart
is
intended
to
focus
on
emergency
preparedness
if
we
can
move
to
the
next
slide.
E
So
a
key
part
of
that
as
I've
said,
is
resilience.
What
that's
going
to
look
like
for
arlington
and
making
sure
that
this
approach
to
resilience
also
incorporates
equity
at
the
outset,
and
so
there's
going
to
be
a
fair
amount
of
discussion
and
listening
involved
with
cart
so
that
we
can
engage
key
stakeholders
in
understanding
how
best
to
communicate,
to
and
with
the
various
diverse
communities
comprising
arlington,
and
how
cart
can
can
work
together
to
reduce
barriers
that
exist
as
it
pertains
to
their
being
prepared
and
resilient
in
the
in
the
event
of
an
emergency.
E
And
there
is
no
set
structure
for
how
this
ought
to
work.
We
want
to
leave
that
to
the
wisdom
of
bringing
the
broad
community
together
to
determine
whether
there
are
you
know,
subcommittees
or
other
forms
of
doing
the
work
of
promoting
community
resilience
if
we
can
move
to
the
next
slide.
E
Another
key
element
of
this
is
to
better
utilize
data
that
exists
so
that
we
can
make
sure
our
efforts
are
targeted
and
that
the
needs
of
our
community
are
amplified
and
given
the
greatest
weight.
So
there
are
some
tools
that
are
available
for
people
in
the
emergency
preparedness
space,
one
of
them
from
the
census
bureau
a
resilience
estimate
tool
and,
as
you
can
see,
there
are
a
number
of
factors
that
you
look
in
to
determine
the
level
of
risk
that
a
community
may
have
when
it
comes
to
participating
in
resilience
efforts.
E
We
know
from
a
preliminary
look
at
this
tool
and
the
the
factors
that
influence
one's
score,
that
you
know,
arlington
does
have
vulnerable
communities,
communities,
for
example,
that
have
three
or
more
risk
factors
are
centered
in
areas
where
we
know
there
are
lower
than
median
incomes
where
there
are
excuse
me
higher
rates
of
people,
for
whom
english
is
not
the
primary
language
and
for
whom
communication
may
be
slow
during
the
course
of
an
emergency,
not
that
these
are
the
only
risk
factors,
but
they
are
among
the
ones
that
we
want.
E
This
cart
group
centered
on
addressing.
If
we
can
move
to
the
next
slide,
the
very
much
the
model
of
what
cart
should
be
doing
on
an
ongoing
basis
is
really
just
increasing
community
participation
and
collaboration.
So
again
we
most
likely
we
are
most
apt
to
achieve
that
through
a
structure
which
does
not
have
any
barriers
to
participation
and
finds
a
way
to
direct
people
to
areas
that
are
most
important
to
them.
A
no
wrong
door
approach.
E
Now
the
general
public
is
going
to
be
invited
to
get
involved
with
this
effort
when
it
kicks
off.
If
we
can
move
to
the
next
slide,
there
will
be
a
number
of
ways
in
which
that
will
be
promoted
beginning
in
the
early
fall,
so
more
to
come
on
that
and
if
we
can
move
to
the
next
slide
at
this
point,
what
we
envision
in
terms
of
the
mechanics
of
this,
this
cart
group
is
that
it
would
be
a
county
manager,
appointed
body.
E
Now,
with
all
of
this,
the
question
comes:
what
do
we
do
with
our
current
emergency
preparedness
advisory
commission,
because
there
are
other
components
of
its
work
that
are
not
necessarily
fundamentally
addressed
by
the
cart,
namely
policy
and
implementation
advice
to
the
board.
So
while
that
is
not
prescribed,
that
can
certainly
occur
within
the
cart
structure
through
subcommittees
that
that
group
may
establish.
So
we
look
forward
to
scoping
that
out
once
we
invite
people
to
participate
in
this
effort,
and
so
with
that
comes
the
need
to
dissolve
the
epac
as
we
currently
know
it.
E
Our
emergency
preparedness
advisory
commission
was
born
during
a
time
post-9
11,
where
communities
were
really
new
to
this
work
and
we
were
coming
off
a
traumatic
event
and
knew
that
we
needed
to
do
do
better
and
we
established
an
advisory
commission
that
has
done
amazing
work
over
the
last
couple
of
decades.
We
have
members
of
the
epac
who
are
skilled
professionals,
who
know
this
work
very
well,
who
have
so
much
to
contribute
and
have
given
so
much
of
their
their
energy
and
expertise
to
our
emergency
preparedness
posture
over
the
years.
We
are
very,
very
grateful.
E
We
have
one
member
who's
been
on
since
essentially
the
very
beginning
and
who
continues
to
be
an
incredible
contributor
to
that
effort
and
for
all
of
those
people
who
serve
on
epack.
There
is
a
place
for
them
within
the
cart,
so
I
want
to
make
clear
that,
through
this
effort
of
dissolving
the
epact
that
I
am
about
to
move,
we
are
not
looking
to
lose
that
expertise,
we're
just
looking
to
shift
it
into
this
new
vehicle,
and
so
I
just
like
to
publicly
thank
all
of
them
for
their
work.
E
They
have
given
great
advice
in
shaping
this
effort.
I'll
be
fully
transparent.
Not
all
of
them
agree
with
this
effort,
but
it's
it's
darn
near
impossible
to
make
to
to
do
something
that
meets
with
everyone's
approval,
but
I
certainly
firmly
believe
otherwise.
I
wouldn't
be
recommending
this.
This
is
the
best
thing
for
our
community
and
we
invite
everyone
who
similarly
cares
about
involving
our
whole
community
and
resilience
and
preparedness
to
to
get
involved
in
this
new
group,
of
which
there
will
be
more
to
share
in
the
fall.
E
So
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
at
length
more
to
come
once
we
get
to
closer
to
launch
which
we
expect
will
occur
in
early
fall,
but
for
today
I
would
like
to
move
that
the
county
board
dissolve
the
charter
of
the
emergency
preparedness
advisory
commission.
As
last
revised
of
may
2018
in
anticipation
of
the
standing
up
of
our
new
group,
cart.
A
That
has
been
moved
and
seconded.
Mr
george,
I
think
that
was
a
great
explanation
and
I
hope
this
cart
will
be
positioned
to
help
us
go
wide,
as
well
as
deep
on
issues
of
emergency
preparedness.
Especially,
are
there
any
questions
or
comments
from
mr
dorsey
before
we
take
a
vote
on
his
motion?
D
D
You
know
I've
long
thought
that
you
know,
as
you
put
it
madam
chair,
we
need
to
go
wide
and
not
just
deep
and
if
you
just
look
at
the
number
of
people
who,
for
example,
have
signed
up
for
arlington
alert
or
who
have
done
things
that
we
think
you
know
perhaps
they'll
turn
out
that
that
maybe
is
not
the
best
thing
to
do,
but
I
actually
think
it
is
and
we'll
find
a
way
to
reach
those
folks
and
I'm
really
pleased
we're
sort
of
pivoting
and
making
some
changes.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
have
a
question
about
that.
First
of
all,
I
I
agree
with
the
direction,
as
mr
dorsey
has
explained,
that
my
question
is:
how
do
we
I
mean
there
is
a
body
of
a
capital
of
knowledge,
of
understanding
of
you
know,
resiliency
relevant
skill
that
is
now
located
in
the
epac.
B
So
how
do
we
ensure
that
that
the
current
members
of
the
of
the
epac
engaged,
as
in
as
the
new
manager
appointed
group,
is
formed.
E
So
I
can't
say
with
specificity,
because
that
will
be
up
to
them.
They're
gonna
be
a
number
of
ways
in
which
individuals
can
be
involved
in
cart.
Everyone
on
epact
currently
will
be
invited
to
find
the
place
that
works
for
them
since
it
hasn't
been
formed
yet-
and
we
want
this
to
be
largely
determined
by
the
the
group
leadership.
We
are
moving
away
from
prescribing
a
structure.
E
You
know
that
creates
barriers
and
may
not
meet
interests,
so
it's
somewhat
open-ended.
But
fundamentally
anyone
who
is
on
epac
through
their
organizations
or
in
their
own
individual
capacity
is
not
only
invited,
is
encouraged
to
help
participate
in
this
cart.
To
give
it
the
the
the
the
depth
that
we
all
all
desire
by
virtue
of
their
their
prior
experience,.
B
Thank
you,
mr
dorsey.
The
the
reason
why
I'm
asking
is
because
I
I
really
think
that,
during
the
pandemic,
and
and
and
even
before,
with
the
census
effort,
we've
learned
so
much,
and
I
want
to
really
not
lose
a
a
anything
of
that
amassed
social
capital
and
because
I
do
believe
that
we
will
face
challenges
as
we
go
ahead
in
the
next
years.
Unfortunately,
we
have
to
count
with
this
and
the
people
who
have
been
working
with
us
all
this
time
are
actually
carriers
of
this
of
the
social
capital.
B
Now
I
I
really
want
to
to
find
ways
to
engage
them.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
all
right.
I
believe
we
are
ready
for
a
vote
all
those
in
favor
of
the
motion
before
us.
Please
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed
all
right.
That
cures
you
nice.
Thank
you,
mr
gregory,
excellent.
Yes,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
work,
mr
dorsey,
and
I
think
I
speak
for
all
of
us
in
joining
you
and
your
congratulations,
and
thanks
to
our
long-standing
epac
members
and
our
enthusiasm
for
this
future
direction.
A
All
right,
we'll
move
now
to
regional
reports.
I
think
I
have
we
have
just
one
which
is
one
of
my
own.
I
am
really
delighted
to
share
this
milestone
after
a
number
of
years
of
a
particular
project,
a
large-scale
infrastructure
project
in
ballston,
which
is
to
say
the
long-salt
ballston
west
station
entrance,
as
colleagues
know,
certainly
as
those
around
the
boston
neighborhood
know,
we
have
been
working
for
a
number
of
years
on
a
vision
for
a
second
station
entrance.
A
Really
that
is,
I
think,
enough
of
a
distance
from
the
existing
boston
merrimatt
university
station
to
to
practically
be
a
a
new
station
at
least
functionally
for
users.
It's
going
to
improve
access
from
the
west
side
of
glebe
road,
which
is
incredibly
important.
That's
an
area!
That's
seen
a
lot
of
growth
for
the
county.
It's
going
to
support
a
lot
of
growing
development
in
boston.
A
I
learned
in
advocating
for
this
project
recently
actually
that
this
station
is
pretty
unique
in
the
system,
in
that
it
sees
both
boardings
and
departures
throughout
the
peak
commute
periods.
Because
again,
this
is
such
a
residential
as
well
as
office
destination.
For
so
many
we
are
really
excited
about
this
project,
and
just
this
past
week
we
achieved
two
milestones:
the
northern
virginia
transportation
commission
awarded
4.5
million
in
commuter
choice,
funding
and
the
northern
virginia
transportation
authority
approved
80
million
dollars
as
part
of
its
six-year
program.
A
We
are
really
looking
forward
to
seeing
this
major
infrastructure
being
realized
for
the
the
baseline
boston
community
and
really,
I
think,
for
all
of
the
region,
since
we
know
that
the
boston
metro
stop
provides
a
great
point
of
connectivity
for
longer
hall
commuter
buses.
I'm
very
pleased
to
share
this
good
news
and
very
grateful
to
our
regional
colleagues,
both
at
nbta
and
nvtc,
for
their
support
of
this
opportunity.
C
I'll
economize-
and
I
did
not
comment
just
on
the
last
item,
mr
dorsey,
thank
you
that
was
a
big
body
of
work
and
really
appreciate
it.
And
similarly,
this
is
a
big
body
of
work.
Both
of
these
pieces
of
work
remind
me
that
there
that,
in
a
lot
of
ways,
we're
team-
and
we
take
different
people-
take
the
initiative
in
different
areas
and
I'm
grateful
for
both
your
work
on
it.
E
I
am
just
so
thrilled
so
thrilled
to
see
this
this
coming
to
the
the
forefront.
You
know,
boston
is
one
of
the
densest
areas
in
our
entire
region
and
if
we
do
home
figure
out
a
way
to
maximize
the
ability
for
all
who
are
in
that
area
to
take
advantage
of
transit
and
to
encourage
it,
we're
really
just
not
going
to
be
doing
any
good
service
to
our
regional
priorities
for
not
only
mobility
but
also
for
climate
change.
E
So
I
am
just
thrilled
to
see
that
this
the
support
has
been,
has
been,
earned
and
won.
I
realize
madam
chair,
you
have
done
so
much
with
this
and
ms
garvey
and
mr
d
ferrante.
Your
work
with
nvtc
is
all
very
much
appreciated
as
well.
It
is
I
I
know
that
it
was
never
a
given
and
it
was
always
tenuous,
and
I
am
just
glad
to
know
that
our
regional
partners
have
come
to
understand
the
value
of
this,
for
not
just
arlington
but
for
our
region.
So
thank
you
all.
A
B
Oh
nothing
to
add
to
mr
dorsey.
Actually
he
said
everything
I
wanted
to
say
just
thank
you
to
everybody.
This
is
a
long
list
of
our
elected
officials
in
human
chair.
You
know
who
have
been
instrumental
to
pushing
that
over
the
finish
line.
This
is
an
amazing
accomplishment
not
only
for
other
for
the
region,
as
mr
dorsey
said
as
well.
It's
also
going
to
make
the
boston
station
a
far
safer
metro
station
in
in
the
metro
system.
B
This
was
long
overdue
to
to
improve
the
station
and
I'm
so
happy
to
see
it
happening.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
bringing
up
that
point
about
emergency
egress,
absolutely
and
I'm
glad
you're,
you
featured
it
all
right.
Are
there
any
other
regional
reports
that
we've
missed
or
board
member
reports?
Okay,
seeing
none,
mr
manager,
I'm
gonna
turn
things
over
to
you.
I
think
you
have
quite
a
few
items
for
us
today.
If
that's
right.
F
F
The
declaration
has
been
an
important
tool
offering
flexibility
needed
to
better
serve
our
residents,
businesses
and
visitors,
and
it
went
into
effect
at
7
pm
on
march
13
2020,
and
when
it
ends
next
month,
it
will
have
been
in
effect
for
885
days,
so
the
added
authorities
under
an
emergency,
such
as
the
ability
to
alter
procurement,
budgeting
hiring
and
some
of
our
zoning
rules,
has
served
us
well.
However,
as
we
have
learned
to
cope
with
a
pandemic
that
doesn't
seem
to
ever
want
to
go
away,
the
need
for
those
emergency
authorities
has
dwindled.
F
So
during
these
past
29
months,
we've
been
innovative
and
nimble
and
hum
in
ways
that
we
never
really
even
conceived
of
back
in
march
of
2020.
A
few
examples
include
we
shifted
to
online,
permitting
we
offered
virtual
appointments
opportunities
for
virtual
public
comment
and
remote
inspections.
F
F
During
the
pandemic,
we
stood
up
ptosis
as
an
emergency
response
to
indoor
dining
restrictions
and
to
provide
expedited
processes
for
new
or
expanded
outdoor
seating.
At
restaurants,
many
people
have
enjoyed
the
opportunity
to
dine
with
family
and
friends,
and
colleagues,
outdoors
and
they've
been
critical.
I
think,
to
a
lot
of
our
restaurants
being
able
to
make
it
through
the
pandemic
as
a
much-needed
alternative,
even
with
the
ending
of
the
state
of
emergency.
The
toaster
permissions
continue
under
the
county.
F
Also
as
we're
well
aware,
we've
moved
to
virtual
and
hybrid
commission
and
advisory
board
meetings
once
the
emergency
declaration
is
rescinded.
F
We
look
forward
to
welcoming
our
board
appointed
commissions
and
advisory
boards
back
to
in-person
meetings,
the
new
virginia
electric
electronics
meeting
policy,
which
goes
into
effect
on
september
1st,
offers
some
additional
flexibility
not
as
much
as
we
had
hoped
for,
but
to
allow
virtual
and
hybrid
meetings
as
such.
The
new
per
the
new
policy
offers,
most
of
our
commissions
and
advisory
boards,
the
option
to
conduct
an
all
virtual
meeting,
two
times
or
25
percent
of
all
their
meetings
annually.
F
A
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
manager,
and
really
appreciate
your
summarizing
the
implications
for
our
commission
chairs.
I
know
our
clerk
and
our
team
in
the
county
board
office
has
also
been
working
closely
with
them.
A
This
came
up
for
public
comment
on
saturday,
and
so
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
affirm
from
this
diocese
again
that
that
actually,
the
the
new
meeting
procedures
ahead
of
them
are
not,
as
far
as
you
might
hope,
as
the
manager
said,
but
indeed
an
expansion
of
those
virtual
and
hybrid
opportunities,
and
we
really
appreciate
the
work
that
I
know
crosses
departments
to
equip
a
lot
of
our
different
meeting
rooms
to
support
that
kind
of
hybrid
engagement
both
for
the
individual
commissioners
who
may
need
to
take
advantage
of
the
new
state
regulations,
allowing
you
know,
medical
reasons,
et
cetera,
to
participate
virtually
and
also
for
the
public.
A
So
one
related
point
actually
is
that
I
do
need
to
introduce.
We
need
to
amend
our
own
meeting
policies
to
reflect
and
incorporate
the
state
regulations
that
have
again
since
become
a
little
more
permissive.
So
why
don't
we
do
this?
Colleagues,
I'm
going
to
open
the
floor
for
any
discussion
about
commissions
and
changes
to
that,
while
our
clerk
pulls
up
a
slight
change
to
our
own
virtual
participation
or
electronic
participation
policy
that
we
can
amend
now,
mr
defranti.
C
There'll
be
additional
pieces
that
we'll
need
to
flesh
out
in
the
coming
months
is
sort
of
a
fair
sense
that
sometime
between
sort
of
over
the
coming
month
or
month
and
a
half
leading
into
september
1st,
we'll
we'll
we'll
add
a
little
detail
to
the
commission's
piece
of
this-
is
that
that
that
sort
of
seems
like
the
a
process
just
for
logistics.
I
guess
that
might
be
a
clerk
question
or
it
might
be
a
manager
question.
C
I
also,
I
suppose
it
could
be
something
that
the
board
would
opine
on,
but
is
that
a
fair
guess?
I
guess
it's
for
the
clerk
it
could
be
for
the
manager
too.
G
F
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
you
know
I
this
this
is.
I
has
there's
no
resolution
to
this.
It's
just
an
observation,
but
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
public
health
conversation
about
conditions
in
our
fall,
looking
a
lot
more
like
conditions
that
we've
experienced
before
so
I
know
to
some.
E
It
is
very
much
a
diminishment
of
the
flexibility
that
we
have
enjoyed,
so
we
do
understand
that
and
we
wish
that
it
were
not
that
way,
but
it
is,
and
we
will
do
our
best
to
make
sure
that
at
least
the
new
permissions
granted
by
the
state
allow
for
individual
members
of
our
public
bodies
to
take
advantage
of
that
flexibility.
The
greatest
extent
possible.
A
I
really
appreciate
your
saying
so
much
dorsey,
I
think
you're
right
to
contextualize
it
that
way,
and
this
is
also
a
great
opportunity
to
note
how
I
think
effective.
A
lot
of
our
commission
leadership
were
in
joining
us
and
advocating
before
the
foia
council,
which
advises
the
general
assemble
assembly
on
open
meetings.
Laws
as
well
as
the
general
assembly
itself
continues
to
be.
I
think
the
position
of
this
board
that
there
is
no
reason
our
public
bodies
appointed
bodies
can't
meet
virtually.
A
I
think
we
accept
ourselves
from
that
and
see
the
value
of
our
meeting
in
person,
but
for
those
who
are
unremunerated
volunteers
just
giving
of
their
time,
particularly
during
the
pandemic,
I
think
we
found
that
there
was
greater
participation
as
a
result
of
those
virtual
meetings,
and
so
I
think
I
appreciate
you
you're
saying
so.
We
will
continue
to
advocate-
and
I
know
our
commissioners
particularly
commissioned
chairs,
telling
their
stories
explaining
why
virtual
meetings
are
so
important.
Helped
us
make
at
least
this
incremental
progress,
and
we
will
be
back
at
it.
D
Actually,
that's
all
I
was
going
to
say
we're
going
to
be
back
at
it
and
we've
made
some
progress.
I
think
we
will
make
more.
It's
been
really
great
to
see
how,
in
a
number
of
cases,
it's
really
made
it
so
much
easier
for
people
to
participate,
and
I
I
hopefully
I
think
common
sense
will
will
prevail.
It
just
takes
a
little
while
sometimes
in
the
gym.
A
Thank
you
all
right.
Well,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
the
following
amendment
to
our
own
electronic
participation
policy.
I
think
that
strikethrough
is
vestigial
from
a
previous
amendment
in
1a.
Is
that
right,
madam
clerk?
We're
not
newly
striking
that,
through.
G
A
Oh
thank
you
for
catching
that
mr
franti.
Okay,
excellent.
So
that's
been.
That
makes
sense.
Okay,
that's
captured
elsewhere
for
for
ease
of
reading
great
okay.
So
this
essentially
codifies
what
this
state
has
allowed,
both
in
terms
of
expanding
family
members,
medical
conditions
being
a
reason
for
a
member
to
unable
be
unable
to
attend
a
meeting
as
well
as
their
own
medical
condition.
A
I'll
take
a
point
of
personal
privilege
and
know
that
that
was
something
I
particularly
lobbied
for,
as
you
all
remember,
in
2019
my
inability
to
participate
in
a
number
of
our
budget
sessions,
because
my
son
was
in
the
neonatal
intensive
care
unit.
So
I
appreciate
the
general
assembly
at
least
being
willing
to
afford
opportunities
for
for
future
iterations
to
participate
remotely.
A
Also
noting
that
the
board,
again,
sorry,
as
I
mentioned,
has
the
ability
to
to
meet
up
to
to
two
meetings
a
year
or
twenty-five
percent
of
the
meetings
per
calendar
year.
Virtually
excuse
me
by
the
member,
not
the
whole
of
the
body,
I'm
going
to
move
those
amendments
again.
The
three
and
four
I
think
are
brought
down
from
elsewhere
for
clarity
of
reading.
That
is
not
new
content.
Is
there?
Is
there
a
second
for
the
motion
two
again
to
one
and
two.
A
C
I
just
said
that
I
think
this
is
also
reflective
of
state
laws,
so
that's
part
of
why
the
addition
of
number
three.
Thank
you
good.
A
Point,
even
though
that
is
not
germain
in
arlington,
we
do
try
to
make
sure
that
our
code
mirrors
the
states
all
right.
If
there
is
no
further
discussion,
I
believe
we're
ready
to
vote
on
that
motion.
The
amendment
to
our
electronic
participation
policy,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye,
aye,
aye
great,
any
opposed
all
right
that
carries
unanimously
pardon
the
interruption.
Mr.
F
Thank
you.
I
wanted
to
give
you
my
monthly
update
on
all
things
covid,
including
some
news
for
people
who
are
listening
out
there.
F
F
Now
this
rate
isn't
a
true
picture
of
the
level
of
the
dis
disease,
since
it
only
captures
pcr
tests
and
it's
very
different
from
where
we
were
last
year,
because
we
we
aren't
picking
up
any
of
the
at-home
antigen
tests,
and
so
people
seeking
pcr
testing
may
be
more
likely
to
have
cova
19
symptoms
or
want
to
confirm
their
at-home
antigen
test
results.
So.
H
F
That's
the
reason
why
the
positivity
rate
may
be
a
little
bit
higher
there.
The
dominant
circulating
variant
as
we've
all
been
reading
is
the
omicron.
Ba
5
variant
and
early
indications
show
that,
even
if
you
are
vaccinated
or
you
have
recovered
from
a
past
covenant
19
infection,
you
can
still
be
infected
with
ba5.
F
F
F
We
encourage
everyone
to
stay
up
to
date
on
their
vaccines.
Everyone
as
young
as
six
months
should
get
fully
vaccinated
and
individuals
five
years
and
older,
of
course,
can
get
boosted
and
it's
never
too
late.
So
please
take
advantage
of
the
opportunities,
and
we
have
all
that
information
on
the
county
website
for
walk-in
opportunities
and
how
to
get
an
appointment
now
a
reminder.
Vaccines
for
children
as
young
as
six
months
old
are
offered
by
appointment.
F
What's
going
on
at
the
arlington
mill
community
center,
our
footprint
there
has
been
reduced
and
so
we'll
note
we're
no
longer
in
the
gym
there
and
we'll
be
sharing
some
details
with
the
public
shortly
about
what
our
plans
are
with
the
gym,
and
I
wanted
to
thank
everybody
in
the
community
for
their
patients,
especially
with
our
staff
with
parks
and
recreation,
because
that
was
a
big
impact
on
our
facilities,
but
certainly
for
a
good
reason
on
testing
and
treatment.
F
The
curative
testing
kiosk
at
sequoia
is
going
to
be
closing
on
july
22nd.
So,
a
few
days
from
now,
we've
had
low
uptake
about
40
people
per
week
and
that's
about
less
than
two
percent
of
all
the
tests
we're
doing
on
a
weekly
basis
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
offer
no
cost
testing
at
the
four
other
kiosks,
one
at
arlington
mill,
one
here
at
courthouse,
plaza
one
at
quincy
park
at
central
library
and
the
other
at
virginia
highlands
park
and
just
a
reminder
to
everybody
and
we're
gonna.
F
When
I
we'll
probably
be
pushing
out
some
more
information
on
this
shortly,
to
remind
our
how
you
can
get
your
third
round
of
free
at
home
tests
and
you
can
go
to
covidtest.gov
to
order
them
some
of
us
and
I'm
an
example-
pay
attention
to
the
expiration
date
on
your
tests,
because
some
people
have
them
and
those
you're
coming
up
with
some
of
those
will
be
expiring
and
everyone
should
use
their
at-home
tests.
That's
what
they're
for!
F
Lastly-
and
I
a
little
bit
not
covid
but
directly
related
to
public
health.
I
wanted
to
talk
about
monkey
pox.
Just
briefly,
we
are
monitoring
our
public
health
staff
is
monitoring
that
and,
as
of
july
18th,
the
virginia
department
of
health
reports
47
confirmed
cases
in
virginia
with
37
of
them
in
northern
virginia.
F
I'm
probably
going
to
get
this
word
wrong
here,
but
public
health
is
coordinating
with
vdh
to
obtain
and
administer
doses
of
genios
g.
No,
no
j,
y
n,
n
e
o
s
do
not
ask
me
what
it
stands
for,
but
it's
a
vaccine
that
helps
protect
against
monkey
pox
and
the
nation
of
virginia
supply
is
pretty
limited
and
it's
only
being
offered
to
residents
at
high
risk
of
getting
monkey
pox
who
are
likely
exposed
in
the
past
14
days.
F
The
vaccine
is
not
an
effective
treatment
for
those
who
already
have
monkey
pox,
so
we
have
two
pages
up
on
the
county
website.
I
encourage
people
to
visit
there
and
type
in
monkey
pox
and
get
what
other
whatever
details
are
appropriate,
so
I'll
pause
there
and
see
if
there
are
any
questions
before
I
move
on
to
my
next
item.
F
Okay,
so
next
up,
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
committed,
affordable
units
and
oversight,
an
update
on
what
we've
been
doing
with
that
we
hired
mick
mcwright
and
associates
to
conduct
housing
quality
standard
inspections.
This
came
up
during
the
budget
process.
F
Inspections
were
optional
and
we
aimed
at
about
a
70
inspection
rate,
so
in
total,
878
rental
units
were
inspected
in
february
and
march,
and
additional
units
were
inspected
by
our
department
of
human
services
staff
hello
just
prior
to
these
inspections,
for
a
total
of
one
thousand
and
three
units
or
eighty-one
percent
at
six
properties
which
included
arbor
heights,
buchanan,
gardens,
buckingham
gardens,
columbia,
grove
gates
of
ballston
and
harvey
hall.
F
The
initial
pass
rate
of
the
units
was
about
60
percent,
so
deficiencies
were
found
in
about
40
of
the
units
and
were
concentrated
in
kitchens
and
bathrooms.
Most
of
the
deficiencies
were
not
deemed
to
be
life
and
safety
issues
and
they
included
resident
housekeeping
concerns
in
some
instances.
So
by
early
april,
all
the
repairs
were
completed
by
property
owners
and
all
the
units
were
reinspected
to
make
sure
they
met
requirements.
F
So
our
housing
staff
continued
to
be
interested
in
hearing
from
residents
about
any
maintenance
or
other
concerns
they
might
have,
and
I'm
going
to
encourage
people
to
reach
out
to
our
staff
directly
you've
seen
our
housing
director
and
vanessa
here
before
marie
randle.
Our
supervisor
of
compliance
and
asset
management
can
be
reached
directly
and
the
summary
of
our
next
steps
that
are
coming
up
this
fiscal
year
as
the
board
remembers,
we've
added
a
new
fte
support
compliance,
work
and
added
funding
for
a
third
party
inspector.
F
We
continue
our
interdepartmental
meetings
and
we're
partnering
with
bugatta
to
conduct
a
survey
of
almost
500
calf
residents
to
learn
more
about
way
to
improve
our
strategies
and
we're
also
partnering
with
the
tenant
landlord
commission
and
the
housing
commission
to
talk
about
different
recommendations
for
how
to
help
with
third-party
conflict
resolution,
alternative
dispute
resolution
resources
and
a
lot
of
this
in
summaries,
there's
a
a
very
digestible
and
fairly
reasonably
sized
and
very
informative
report.
F
A
Thank
you
for
that
update.
It's
really
helpful,
it's
hard
to
put
ourselves
back
in
the
mindset
of
january,
but
I
recall
actually
closing
out
last
year,
this
being
one
of
the
top
things
really
on
our
minds
and
agenda,
trying
to
ensure
that
we
followed
up
on
the
lessons
learned
from
the
experiences
of
the
serano
and
that
we
made
sure
that
we
were
taking
that
to
scale.
Mr
dorsey,
did
you
want
to
add.
A
I
E
Great,
I
you
know,
certainly
I
am
pleased
to
know
that
people
are
being
very
responsive
to
addressing
issues
that
we
uncover.
That's
that's
a
great
thing.
It's
a
it's
a
better
thing
if
they
can
reduce
the
number
of
issues
in
the
first
place,
that
would
not
require
someone
to
fail
an
inspection.
C
Thank
you,
mr
manager,
for
the
for
this.
This
is
I'm
really
glad
to
hear
it
that
the
the
ft,
the
coordinator
position
and
the
third
party,
I
would
imagine
it
could
be
premature,
so
we've
looked
at
1200
units.
Is
it?
Is
it
a
fair
sort
of
anticipation
that
once
the
pers,
once
the
position
has
been
hired
for
there
would
be
the
remaining
calf
units
would
be
sort
of
where
we
would
start
and
rotate.
F
That's
our
goal:
we
need
to
get
that
additional
person
on
we're,
also
working
with
the
third
party,
so
yeah
we're
gonna,
follow
up.
We,
the
first
six
I
hate
to
use
the
word
pilot
because
there's
a
lot
of
things
out
there,
but
we
learned
some
lessons
there
and
that
that
will
be
our
goal.
To
finish
up
great.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
thank
you
for
the
report.
I
have
to
say.
Yes,
it
throws
us
a
little
bit.
Oh
I'm
sorry
to
the
60.
Well,
the
response
to
january
a
little
bit
this
conversation
we
had
last
year.
It's
certainly
a
pass
rate
of
60
is
not
brilliant.
It's,
but
I
I
see
the
effort
here
and
I
see
also
the
targeted
approach
to
those
to
older,
older
properties
with
which
would
be
typically,
you
know
challenged
with
with
maintenance
issues.
B
I
have
one
questions
on
the
role
of
bugatti
in
the
scope
of
the
of
the
of
the
500
resident
survey.
What
do
we
expect
to
to
to
receive
from
from
that
survey?
What
what
is
exactly
the
scope.
F
Yeah,
I
think
that
the
scope
of
that
is
to
have
more
conversations
with
people
residents
and
cafs
and
find
out
more
about
their
experiences
and
actually
get
their
advice
about
how
we
might
be
able
to
improve
some
of
our
approaches
and
some
of
the
approaches
of
the
management
of
some
of
the
facilities
we've
been
doing
a
lot
of
sort
of
inspecting.
This
will
be
a
little
bit
more
of
listening
and
conversation.
B
B
I
I
look
really
forward
to
hear
what
we
will
be
learning
from
that
process.
Thank
you.
A
I
could
not
agree
more
with
mr
carantonis.
I
think
that
recognizing
the
expertise
of
our
residents
and
neighbors
living
in
aging
calf
properties
is
really
a
fantastic
lesson
learned
from
the
experience
with
the
serrano.
I
just
want
to
commend,
certainly
the
team
from
dhs
and
also
the
team
working
under
our
housing
director,
ms
venezia.
For
frankly,
I
think
the
humility
going
into
this
work
and
recognizing
that
there
are
a
lot
of
areas
that
we
wanted
to
improve
as
a
county
as
well
as
expecting
higher
standards
out
of
our
landlords.
A
So
I
really
appreciate
it
and
appreciate
the
update
and
mr
manager
to
confirm
if
residents
were
interested
in
kind
of
more
back
and
forth
conversation
about
the
inspections
about
work
going
forward
or
the
other
partnerships
you
mentioned,
the
housing,
commission
and
tenant
landlord
commission
would
be
the
venues
for
them
to
do.
That
is
that
right
that.
F
Approach,
the
doc
and
they're
here
to
give
us
an
update
and
a
presentation
on
eviction
prevention
and
the
a
little
bit
of
an
update
of
what's
been
going
on
the
last
couple
of
years
and
some
proposals
about
changing
the
eligibility
criteria.
So
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
the
esteemed
anita
friedman.
J
I
Actually,
since
1975,
apparently,
where
usually
we've
been
spending
about
900
thousand
dollars
a
year
to
keep
vulnerable
and
low-income
arlington
residents
housed
during
crisis
type
situations,
usually
one-off
situations
where
they
haven't
been
able
to
pay
their
rent,
because
maybe
they
had
a
large,
unexpected
medical
expense
or
we
paid
to
keep
their
utilities
on,
especially
in
the
winter
and
summer
months,
or
we
provided
them
with
transportation
assistance
so
on
and
so
forth.
So
they
can
continue
to
go
to
work
and
keep
their
jobs.
I
So
our
eviction
prevention
has
been
administered
locally
through
dhs
and
also
through
our
nonprofit
partner,
arlington
thrive
and,
as
I
mentioned,
we've
been
spending
about
nine
hundred
thousand
the
eligibility
a
year.
The
eligibility
criteria
prior
to
the
pandemic
was
that
we
were
serving
people
that
were
at
or
below
50
area
median
income
that
they
had
to
provide.
If
it
was,
they
were
requesting
money
for
utilities
or
rent.
I
They
had
to
provide
some
sort
of
proof
like
a
five-day
notice
to
pay
or
quit
that
you
know
they
really
were
not
able
to
pay
their
rent
and
that
they
were
going
to
be
evicted.
I
If
we
did
not
step
in
and
help
and
they
had
to
be
arlington
residents,
we
did
not
require
any
other
documentation
or
proof
of
lawful
permanent
status
or
anything
like
that
in
in
the
residency
excuse
me,
they
just
had
to
be
arlington
residents
next
slide
and
then
the
pandemic
kit,
and
there
was
a
lot
of
people
losing
their
jobs,
as
we
all
know,
especially
during
the
you
know,
in
the
service
sectors
and
whatnot,
and
we
really
learned
that
we
needed
to
expand
our
eligibility
criteria
to
help
individuals
so
that
we
did
not
have
more
people
experiencing
or
at
risk
of
homelessness,
especially
during
a
public
health
crisis.
I
So
we
increased
our
criteria
to
80
percent
ami
or
less,
and
that
was
mostly
because
one
of
the
federal
funding
streams
that
came
in,
which
was
our
community
development
block
grant
and
community
services
block,
grant
their
eligibility
criteria,
was
80
or
less
so
to
make
things
easier
because
we
oftentimes
are
using
multiple
funding
sources
to
assist
people
with
rent,
whether
it
be
state,
federal
or
local.
I
We
allowed
for
up
to
80
ami
and
we
did
not
require
any
proof
of
hardship
or
five
day
notice
to
pay
or
quit,
because
there
was
an
eviction
moratorium
in
place,
as
I'm
sure
you
all
remember,
and
so
there
were
no
eviction
notices
going
on
at
that
time.
During
kovid,
we
have
served
in-house
through
dhs
and
through
our
partner
arlington
thrive,
4826,
unduplicated
households,
some
of
those
households,
we've
served
more
than
one
time.
In
fact,
I
think
it's
about
an
average
of
1.6
times.
I
We've
been
serving
those
households
on
on
a
fiscal
year
basis,
and
we
have
also
learned
that
it
really
is
an
equity
concern
as
well,
because
we
have
learned,
we've
been
tracking
this
data
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic.
49
of
the
households
we've
been
serving
are
hispanic
or
latinx.
I
22
are
african
americans,
so
that's
way
more
than
their
representative,
proportional
representative
representation
in
in
arlington,
county
overall
and
in
house.
So
by
arlington,
the
department
of
human
services
and
arlington
thrive
from
fy
20.
To
date,
we
have
spent
close
to
13
million
dollars,
and
I
want
to
reiterate
that
that
is
federal,
state
and
local
funds,
so
not
all
local
funds.
In
fact,
a
lot
of
it
was
federal
and
state,
and
then
the
state,
the
department
of
housing
and
community
development
dhcd
created
their
own
rental
portal,
which
started
in
december
of
2020.
I
If
you
remember,
the
rent
mortgage
real
and
rent
and
mortgage
relief
program
rmrp
is
how
it
started,
and
then
they
rolled
in
into
using
era
funds,
one
era,
1.0
era,
2
8.0,
there's
so
many
different
funds,
but
they
served
3562,
unduplicated,
arlington
households
and
spent
over
35
million
dollars
during
this
period.
So
for
a
total
of
close
to
50
million
dollars
during
the
pandemic
that
we've
been
spending
to
keep
arlingtonians
housed
and
our
team.
I
just
want
to
reiterate
our
team
at
dhs
and
through
our
partners
at
thrive,
have
been
helping.
I
People
apply
for
the
state
rental
assistance
when
it
existed
so
and
we
we
actually
think
that's
a
main
reason
why
arlington
got
such
a
large
share
of
that
funding,
because
we
were
able
to
help
people
that
might
have
been.
You
know,
not
have
computers
or
access
to
a
computer
or
might
not
understand
how
to
use
a
computer
to
get
them
the
assistance
that
they
needed
through
the
state
if
they
were
eligible
for
those
funds
instead
of
having
to
dip
into
local
or
other
funds.
I
Unless
we
absolutely
had
to
that
portal,
however,
closed
in
the
middle
of
may,
and
so
we
in
house
have
seen
a
huge
uptick
in
phone
calls,
both
from
landlords
and
tenants
asking
you
know
for
assistance
now
that
they
aren't
able
to
seek
it
through
the
state
you
can
see
here
in
this
slide.
Basically,
what
our
trends
have
been
for
eviction
prevention
and
what
the
budget
looked
like
pre-pandemic.
I
Unfortunately,
we
don't
even
we
weren't,
even
collecting
data
pre-pandemic
on
this,
because
it
wasn't
considered
a
huge
program
and
now
it
is
and
then
you
can
see
how
it
kind
of
peaked.
Where
in-house
we
provided
7.5
million
in
fy
21..
That
was
and
then
in
fy
22.
That
kind
of
tapered
off.
I
That
was
largely
because
the
state
assistance
started
kicking
in
then,
and
we
were
trying
to
funnel
as
many
individuals
for
assistance
through
the
state
utilizing
and
taking
advantage
of
those
funds
before
we
utilize
funds
in-house,
and
you
can
see
the
amounts
for
average
payment
made
and
the
total
number
of
payments
made.
So
you
know
households
oftentimes
received
assistance
more
than
once
next
slide.
I
And
what
have
we
learned?
Let's
see
both
from
our
eviction
prevention
during
covet,
as
well
as
the
redevelopment
projects
that
happened
recently
with
the
serrano
and
with
the
green
valley,
not
green
valley,
I'm
sorry,
columbia,
garden.
I
Yes,
we
have
learned
and
witnessed
that
there's
a
lot
of
overcrowding
in
a
lot
of
units,
and
that's
because
you
know
a
lot
of
families
can't
afford
to
rent
on
their
own,
so
they
might
be
renting
a
room
in
in
a
unit
and
subletting,
and
so
a
lot
of
that
kind
of
came
to
light
when
we
were
assisting
with
the
columbia
gardens
residents
who
needed
to
be
rehoused
in
that
in
that
45
day
period.
I
We
also
learned
that
redevelopment
can
oftentimes
require
immediate
responses,
both
from
case
management,
and
we
need
funding
immediately.
So
when
we
had,
when
dhs
was
assisting
in
finding
new
housing
for
a
lot
of
the
residents
at
columbia,
gardens,
for
example,
we
needed
to
assist
them
because
a
lot
of
times
they
did
not
have
the
minimum
income
or
savings
available
to
pay
for
their
first
month's
rents
and
security
deposits
and
a
lot
of
times.
I
We
learned
that
there
were
households
that,
as
I
mentioned
before,
weren't
on
the
lease,
but
we're
subletting
from
the
leaseholder
and
so
a
lot
of
households,
kind
of
came
out
of
the
woodworks
in
a
sense
and
that
we
learned
about
and
had
to
provide
more
wrap
around
support
and
case
management
for
those
households
to
try
to
get
them
into
units
that
they
could
afford,
but
also
to
provide
the
wrap
around
support,
whether
it
be
through
employment
assistance
or
what
you
know,
child
care
support,
so
that
they
could
continue
to
afford
to
live
in
arlington.
I
I
You
know
to
find
an
available
unit
when
there
is
any
sort
of
a
redevelopment,
and
so
we
had
a
really
hard
time
with
columbia
gardens
finding
any
any
available
units
that
were
three
bedrooms,
for
example,
and
we've
had
more
difficulties,
placing
people
that
are
exiting
both
individuals
and
families
that
are
exiting
our
homeless
shelters,
because
there
weren't
any
vacant
units,
because
we've
kept
people
housed
so
there's
a
trade-off.
There.
I
We've
also
learned
that
not
having
lawful
presidents
in
the
united
states,
as
we
know,
pose
an
additional
barrier
to
securing
a
lease
and
because
they
oftentimes
don't
have
any
sort
of
proof
of
income
they're
getting
paid
under
the
table
and
to
securing
meaningful
gainful
employment,
and
so
we've
had
to
respond
and
be
able
to
serve
our
undocumented
residents
by
providing
more
wraparound
support
for
them
so
that
they
can
continue
to
live
in
arlington
and,
as
I've
mentioned
before,
we've
learned
that
there's,
both
demographic
and
equity
issues
at
play
by
pac
residents,
were
hit
the
hardest
and
needed
the
most
assist
during
the
pandemic,
and
as
it
should
be
no
surprise
about
40,
I
think
it's
47
percent
of
the
households.
I
We
served
were
in
the
22204
zip
code
and
we
are
looking
at
we're
working
on
a
housing
grant
study
this
summer
and
into
the
fall,
and
we
are
looking
at
because
historically
our
housing
grants
program,
which
is
a
locally
funded
program.
We
had
gotten
guidance
that
we
had
to
prorate
those
households
that
had
mixed
immigration
status.
I
It
would
be,
you
know,
a
huge
there's,
there's
a
gap
there
of
undocumented
households
not
being
able
to
access
housing
subsidies
and
affordable
housing
as
a
result.
So
we
will
be
looking
into
that
in
the
upcoming
housing
grants,
study
report
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
anita.
J
J
And
how
does
that
then
intersect
with
the
housing
grants
program,
because
an
eviction
program
prevention
program
really
should
be
people
facing
eviction
because
they're
being
removed
from
their
household
for
for
lack
of
payment?
Sometimes
it's
for
lack
of
tendency,
but
we're
dealing
with
the
lack
of
good
tenancy.
But
here
we're
dealing
with
lack
of
payment
and
our
eviction
prevention
program
during
covid
may
have
morphed
into
more
of
a
housing
grants
for
everyone
under
the
sun
program.
J
I'm
saying
that
here
in
the
public,
mr
manager,
because
we
were
so
generous
and
open
with
our
criteria
right
and
so
when
you
are
so
generous
and
open
with
the
criteria,
there
can
be
people
who
are
the
ones
subletting
who
don't
really
have
an
avenue
for
a
permanent
rental
subsidy
who
are
then
relying
on
the
eviction
prevention
program
to
sustain
themselves.
J
So
we
have
to
really
do
a
deep
dive
into
this
analysis
and
because
the
the
county
does
have
a
large
number
of
housing
assistance
programs-
and
you
can
see
here-
we've
just
listed
them
for
you.
I
told
about
73
million
dollars
ongoing
and
in
terms
of
rental
subsidies
alone.
J
J
It's
not
as
strict
as
we
don't
ask
for
u.s
citizenship,
but
some
legal
presence
in
the
united
states,
and
also
there
are
three
categories:
right,
as
you
remember,
65
years
or
older,
totally
and
permanently
disabled
or
working
families
with
with
at
least
one
child
under
the
age
of
18,
and
we
can
prorate
the
grants
and
we
do
prorate
the
grants
if
there's
a
mixed
status
household.
J
But
we
have
to
dig
deeper
into
the
issue
of
those
who
are
served
under
eviction
prevention
funding
who
don't
meet
into
meet
these
hundreds
and
grants
criteria.
And
what
do
we
do
about
that?
And
that's
really
a
policy
issue
because
they
may
not
have
legal
status
compared
to
other
jurisdictions.
Next
slide
next
slide.
Thank
you.
We
are
really
you
know
at
the
top.
In
terms
of
having
more
assistance
than
any
other
jurisdiction,
I
mean
there
is
no
local
assistance,
ongoing
programs
of
the
scale
of
housing
grants
in
the
neighboring
jurisdictions.
J
We
also
looked
into
maryland,
they're,
not
there
they
also
during
during
the
pandemic.
J
They
did
not
have
the
kind
of
eviction
prevention
programs
that
we'd
had
alexandria
may
became
the
closest
with
with
one
that
had
three
times
of
assistance
at
500
each
time
at
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic,
and
I
just
want
to
know
to
note
here.
You
know
this
has
a
benefit
not
just
for.
Obviously
what
we
did
was
to
benefit
the
household
so
that
they
could
remain
here
safely
and
not
have
to
move
during
the
pandemic,
but
we
also
helped
a
lot
of
landlords.
J
You
know,
so
you
got
to
think
of
it
that
way.
Landlords
are
businesses
so
in
some
sense
it's
sort
of
like
a
a
business
business
assistance
program
from
that
angle
next
slide.
So
we
believe
that
the
eviction
prevention
program
moving
forward
should
become
come
back
to
being
an
eviction
prevention
program
and
to
find
and
identify
through
the
housing,
rand
study,
alternative
proposals
and
methods
to
address
the
ongoing
needs
of
very
low-income,
undocumented
households.
J
That
will
be
subject,
of
course,
to
a
lot
of
discussion
and
and
obviously
the
board
approval,
but
we
would
like
to
start
moving
our
eviction
prevention
program
back
into
eviction
prevention
mode
and
to
do
it
slowly
in
a
phased
approach
so
that
you
know
people
have
a
lot
of
interest,
a
lot
of
advance
notice.
J
First,
we
want
to
reduce
the
income
eligibility
back
from
80
from
eighty
percent.
Back
to
fifty
percent,
mind
you,
eighty
percent,
these
days
of
area
median
income,
is
about
ninety
thousand
dollars
per
year
for
a
family
of
four,
because
you
know
the
ami
right
now,
I
think,
is
at
129
000,
something
like
that
and
50
is
around
60
000,
so
we
would
want
we
we
are
proposing
to
do
this
with
manager
has
agreed
that
this
is
a
good
idea
to
in
september.
30Th
would
be
the
cut
off
for
this.
J
So,
once
again,
that's
well
that's
the
eligibility
criteria,
and
we
propose
also
putting
a
spending
cap
per
household
at
the
amount
of
seven
thousand
dollars
in
a
given
fiscal
year,
which
is
still
quite
generous
because
it
would
involve
you
know
if
the
average
eviction
prevention
payment
in
the
past
was
somewhere
around
1.5
or
1.6.
That
still
allows
someone
to
apply
three
or
four
times
in
a
given
fiscal
year.
J
J
We
will
need
to
do
this
still
a
little
additional
money
in
fy
23,
because
you
know
are
as
as
brook
mentioned.
J
Our
budget
is
really
typically
at
one
point,
something
million,
so
if
we
still,
if
we
want
to
phase
it
out
slowly,
we
need
a
probably
about
two
million
dollars
to
get
through
fiscal
year
23
and
we
will
require
some
additional
fte
support
and
I
just
want
to
say
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
You
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
J
It
requires
a
lot
of
people
power
to
work
with
these
households.
I
know
we
talk
about,
you
know
cphd,
and
we
work
very
closely
with
envenetsia
and
bugatta
under
saul
reyes.
J
J
There
are
specific
needs,
including
schooling,
and
where
people
want
to
live
and
where
their
children
are
comfortable
going
to
school.
So
we
have
the
way
we
have
done
this
during
eviction.
Prevention
time
is
with
temporary
staff.
Right,
because
can
you
imagine
how
many
people
it
takes
to
funnel
50
million
dollars?
You
know
through
the
through
the
pipeline,
so
we
are
hoping
part
of
our
ask
here
is
to
enhance
our
case
management
for
these
residents
with
two
bilingual
social
workers,
as
well
as
a
housing
locator.
We
have
one
housing
locator
for
the
entire
department.
J
J
F
And
one
point
I
did
want
to
add
because
just
to
remind
the
board,
I'm
not
asking
you
to
take
any
specific
appropriation
action
now
when
we
wrapped
up
the
fiscal
23
budget,
we
left
some
unallocated
balances
from
arpa,
and
also
we
had
additional
funds
come
in
for
the
ground
lease,
so
I'll
be
back
to
you
in
the
fall
when
we
do
a
reconciliation
of
where
we
are
on
closeout,
with
recommendations
on
where
the
exact
funding
would
come
for
this
and
these
fte,
which
I
think
are
sorely
needed.
F
A
Thank
you.
That
is
actually
very
helpful
to
know.
Ms
garvey,
would
you
like
to
be
good
questions?
One.
D
Of
the
things
that's
occurred
to
me
listening
how
much
of
a
wrench
is
inflation
going
to
throw
into
the
whole
calculation,
because
this
is
kind
of
all,
like
maybe
pre-inflation,
and
I
just
think
that's
starting
to
hit
everybody
pretty
hard.
I
don't
know
if
you've
got
any
thoughts
on
that,
but.
J
I
mean
we
do
know,
I
even
the
pre,
this
current
inflationary
trend,
the
rental
amounts-
have
gone
up
year
over
year
significantly
and
that
and
you
could
see
it
in
the
in
the
annual
increases
in
the
amounts
in
the
housing
grants
allowances.
I
don't
have
the
data
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
it's
it.
It
will
be.
H
D
C
A
couple
three
thoughts:
first,
I
think
we
have
had
an
in
person,
but
I'll
say
it
again.
Thank
you
for
what
you
did
on
columbia,
gardens.
There
are
a
lot
of
people
that
the
the
folks
who
are
who
are
not
on
the
leases
you
helped
and
that's
I
really
appreciate
that
and
then
to
the
man.
C
The
first
thought
is
on
the
overall
presentation
is
that
this
seems
entirely
consistent
when
there
is
the
deepest
recession
is
when
keynesian,
when
we
should
be
supporting
people
the
most,
and
I
do
think
we
need
to
pull
back
because
those
under
50
percent
of
ami
have
a
lot
of
need
and
we
have
to
be
so.
C
I
appreciate
the
direction
I
am
concerned
about
inflation
and
then
the
last
point
is
a
thank
you
to
you
and
the
manager
on
this
on
on
the
housing
locator
and
the
fte,
because
it
is
my
impression
that
it's
a
massive
amount
of
work
to
connect
these
families
so
fully
in
support
of
the
direction
and
and
grateful
in
particular,
because
I
think
at
budget
time
I
was
saying,
do
we
need
another
locator
and
just
appreciate
the
this.
C
A
Thank
you,
mr
carontonas,
did
I
see
you
popping
on
to
you.
B
A
B
Thank
you,
ma'am
cheer,
miss
friedman,
miss
cameron,
paris.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
for
for
this
presentation.
It's
actually.
These
are
very
interesting
and
sobering
times.
Insights,
especially
if
one
has
in
mind
that
yes,
the
pandemic
is
over,
but
you
know
an
inflationary
with
misprinter
made
made
a
reference
to
that
rents
are
rising
extremely
fast
they're.
They
are
one
of
major
stressors
right
now
and
combined
with
increasing
in
the
cost
of
living.
B
B
You
know
key
remarks
that
said
well,
the
undocumented
or
mixed
households
have
been
challenged
the
most,
and
it's
also
they
are
also
the
most
difficult
to
support,
given
the
legal
framework
for
our
other
support
instruments,
housing
grants
etc.
So,
within
the
framework
of
what
you
propose,
what
is
the?
What
are
some
some
elements
of
specific
focus
on
these
specially
challenged?
Households
who
are
not
doing
very
well
right
now,
even
if
they're,
if
they
have
fun
jobs
again
because
their
unemployment
rate
has
is,
is
lower.
I
Oh
sorry,
that's
a
really
good
question
and
something
I've
been
talking
with
my
team
about
is
you
know
when
we
say
we
needed
the
two
bilingual
additional
social
workers,
because
we've
seen
such
a
huge
uptick
in
the
volume
of
requests
and
households
needing
assistance.
I
We
admittedly
haven't
had
the
time
and
the
staffing
to
be
able
to
provide
that
wrap
around
support
and
holistic
support,
and
you
know
make
referrals
as
needed,
help
them
find
jobs,
and
so
we're
actually
hoping
to
have
those
two
social
workers
be
more
outreach,
oriented
and
get
out
and
about
in
the
different
cafes
and
in
the
communities
talking
to
those
families,
not
just
obviously
the
undocumented
ones.
I
But
you
know
they
ultimately
might
be
the
ones
that
we
spend
a
lot
more
time
working
with,
and
so
I'm
excited
about
that-
and
you
know
the
I
think.
Another
thing
we
we
will
want
to
do
is
work
very
closely
with
the
arlington
employment
center
and
the
staff
there
to
make
sure
that
if
we
can,
because,
through
the
arlington
employment
center,
we
have
the
back
to
work
funds
that
were
approved
through
arpa
and
we
can
serve
anyone
regardless
of
immigration
status
through
those
funds,
and
so
we're
actually
really
excited.
I
If
we
can
make
referrals
to
the
arlington
employment
center
to
get
folks
trained
up
if
they've
lost
their
jobs
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic,
that's
the
only
eligibility
requirement
really
for
us
to
be
able
to
serve
them,
and
my
goal
would
be
to
get
as
many
people
funneled
and
channeled
through
the
arlington
employment
center,
so
that
they
can
scale
up
or
gain
employment
or
more
gainful
employment.
So
those
are
the
first
two
steps,
but
I'm
sure
we'll
think
of
more
as
we
go.
B
Thank
you,
ms
helen
paris.
I
I
really
find
it
extremely.
I
mean
frustrating
not
not
with
you,
but
the
fact
that
undocumented
households
have
so
many
obstacles
to
to
to
access
help
and
to
access
support.
This
is
not
we
are
and
to
be
clear
and
for
everybody
who
is
listening
in
right
now.
This
is
not
some
sort
of
charity.
This
is
basic
economic
development.
B
Support
for
those
are
linked,
onions
who
knows
who
needed
the
most,
but
also
who
contribute
a
lot
to
arlington's
economy
every
day,
and
we
have
a
vital
interest
to
house
them
to
to
support
them
so
that
they
keep.
They
are
not
displaced
from
arlington,
and
I
find
it
really
frustrating
to
to
be
hitting
on
the
immigration
status
requirements
of
header
of
you
know
several
programs
again
and
again
again,
I'm
happy
to
hear
that
there
are
some
solutions,
but
I
see
that
we
need
a
lot
more.
B
You
know
men
and
women
power
to
to
deal
with
them
and
to
find
the
ways
to
support
these
households,
and
I
couldn't
be
more
thankful
for
you
for
everything
you
have
done
with
columbia,
gardens.
That
was
actually
a
an
amazing
display
of
readiness
to
to
tackle
a
very
tough
task.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
to
stay
on
that
theme,
just
a
question
of
my
own,
so
this
issue
of
arlingtonians
without
legal
status
not
being
eligible
for
housing
grants,
so
I
could
have
sworn
I
had
confirmed
that
many
times
over
the
years.
I
know
I've
been
telling
community
members
that
housing
grants
does
not
require
legal
status
in
the
united
states.
So
perhaps
the
distinction
that
I
had
missed
was
it
doesn't
require
citizenship,
but
I
am
a
little
disappointed
and
concerned
to
hear
that
I
think
I'm
glad
that's
bound
up
in
the
housing
grant
study.
A
I
will
say
for
my
part-
and
I
suspect
this
is
true
of
my
colleagues-
if
there's
an
opportunity
to
move
even
faster
on
that
changing
that
eligibility
requirement
so
that
we
can,
you
know,
not
have
to
turn
away
families
that
don't
have
some
sort
of
legal
status.
While
we
are
figuring
out
holistically
how
to
change
the
program,
I
I
would
love
the
opportunity
to
to
give
direction
to
support
that
if
it's
feasible.
A
What
is
happening
now
for
folks
who
do
come
forward
because
I
miss
raymond.
You
were
talking
about
right.
I
know
our
case.
Workers
are
providing
support
to
families
who
don't
have
legal
status.
What
is
happening
when
folks
come
forward?
Are
they
channeled
to
emergency
assistance
as
kind
of
their
only
option,
or
so.
I
So,
to
clarify
actually
miss
crystal:
we
can
serve
mixed
immigration,
households,
so
not
everyone
in
the
household
has
to
have
legal
status
through
housing
grants.
So
if
they
have
a
u.s
citizen
or
green
card
holding
spouse
or
child
or
or
what
have
you,
they
can
still
receive
housing
grants.
I
But
it's
prorated
to
only
include
the
members
in
the
household
that
have
the
legal
status
and
that's
because
that
was
something
way
back
when,
whenever
housing
grants
was
created,
we
were
told
had
to
be
in
place
because
it
comes
from
the
virginia
state
code,
and
so
that's
something
that
we're
looking
into.
J
I
And
to
answer
your
question,
hopefully
about
you
know
what
happens
if
somebody
does
come
forward
and
we
find
out
that
you
know
one:
we
don't
we
don't
ask
unless
we
have
to
to
determine
eligibility
for
a
federal
or
state
program
or
what
have
you,
but
if
we,
you
know
find
out
or
they
divulge,
that
they
are
here
undocumented.
I
You
know,
I'm
really
excited
and
proud
to
say
that
you
know
we
can
serve
them
in
many
areas
of
dhs.
You
know,
just
like
I
mentioned
with
the
arlington
employment
center.
I
We
can
provide
them
with
assistance
through
our
community
assistance
bureau
making
referrals.
You
know
we
partner
with
legal
aid
justice
center
because
it's
really
important
that
they
get
a
free
immigration
consultation
through
an
immigration
attorney,
a
qualified
immigration
attorney
to
figure
out.
Is
there
some
sort
of
path
for
them,
because
a
lot
of
times
there
is-
and
they
just
don't
know
because
they,
you
know,
haven't
spoken
to
somebody
that
knows
what
they're
talking
about
and
so
we're
trying
to
provide
as
much
wraparound
support
as
possible.
A
Okay,
really
helpful
are
folks
without
any
sort
of
legal
status
eligible
for
committed,
affordable
units
for
tenancy
and
committed,
affordable
units
yeah
I
mean
well.
A
Okay,
I
can
follow
up
on
that
one
yeah.
It
would
help
me,
I
think,
for
clarity
of
communication,
but
it,
but
that's,
that's
really
useful
and
again
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
that
effort
is
underway
with
the
county
attorney's
office
to
ascertain
you
know
again.
If
it's
something
within
our
power
to
effectuated
change,
I
think
we'd
really
welcome
the
opportunity
to
do
it.
You
know
I'll
just
join
my
colleagues
in
thanking
you
all
for
not
only
the
excellent
work
throughout
the
pandemic,
but
this
thinking,
it's
to
me,
feels
very
appropriate.
A
Actually,
they
would
follow
on
the
manager's
conversation
about
some
of
the
changes
with
the
winding
down
of
the
emergency
order.
Right
as
we
shift
from
you
know
things
that
we
did
in
emergency
status,
whether
that
be
temporary
outdoor
seating
or
entirely
virtual
meetings.
A
You
know
we
can't
operate
under
an
emergency
forever
and
we
have
to
figure
out
ways
to
keep
meeting
those
needs
in
a
more
sustainable
fashion,
whether
that's
amending
ordinances
to
allow,
for
you
know,
outdoor
seating-
or
you
know,
in
this
case
really
importantly
figuring
out
how
to
serve
our
neighbors
in
a
more
sustainable
ongoing
way.
A
Through
more
appropriate
programs-
and
I
particularly
appreciate
miss
hammond
paris,
your
points
about
connections
to
the
arlington
employment
center
and
others,
because
that
starts
to
get
to
root
causes
which
is
even
better
right,
I'll
signal
for,
for
my
part,
I
know-
we've
talked
about
this
too
thinking
about
those
new
fte.
It
makes
a
lot
of
sense
as
we're
trying
to
get
people
into
more
sustainable
forms.
A
I
also
hope,
as
we
think,
about
the
long-term
role
we
can
consider
whether
this
is
an
area
for
partnership
with
community-based
organizations,
and
we've
talked
about
that
right,
whether
that's
an
in-kind
support
we
provide
in
the
form
of
you
know,
maybe
a
organizationally
based
kind
of
grassroots-based
caseworker,
but
I
think
we've
definitely
found
and
we've
experienced
this,
the
bugatta,
I
think,
on
the
tenant
outreach.
A
You
know
there's
a
lot
of
trust,
a
lot
of
times
that
our
community-based
organizations
have
with
more
vulnerable
members
of
our
community
and
if
there
are
ways
that
we
can
support
them
and
growing
their
efforts,
while
we
meet
the
casework
needs
of
our
more
vulnerable
populations,
I
think
that
would
be
all
for
the
good.
So
knowing
that
we're
thinking,
maybe
on
a
time
horizon
of
three
to
four
years
for
these
positions,
you
know
thinking
about
their
evolution.
A
I'd
love
to
see
that
in
any
event,
but
I
again
join
my
colleagues
in
in
thanks
for
the
the
sheer
amount
of
work.
As
you
noted,
ms
freeman,
of
getting
50
million
dollars
out
the
door
to
keep
arlingtonians
housed
all
right.
F
So
yeah
before
anita
and
brook
leave
first
of
all,
I
wanted
to
thank
anita
and
the
department
of
human
services.
I
really
and
I'm
going
to
embarrass
you
brooke.
I
really
wanted
to
thank
you
and
I'm
going
to
use
words.
I
know
you're
one
of
my
heroes.
I
really
mean
that
and
I
think
that
people
don't
understand
whether
it's
day
or
night,
you're
doing
person
by
person
going
out
reaching
and
changing
people's
lives
and
people
need
to
understand.
F
Sometimes
the
voices
we
hear
in
this
room
are
talking
about
complaining
about
things
that
aren't
happening,
but
you
are
out
there
every
day
and
not
only
that
you
put
up
with
me,
which
I
appreciate,
because
you
know
I
give
you
a
hard
time
on
occasion,
even
though
you
accuse
me
of
breaking
your
ankle
the
first
time
I
met
you
and
I
just
think
that
you're
just
phenomenal
and
if
people
could
hear
the
stories
of
the
things
that
you
do,
they
would
just
their
faith
would
be
renewed.
So
thank
you
so
much
brooke.
I
Hold
on,
I
gotta
turn
this
back
on.
Thank
you,
you're
making
me
blush,
but
I
honestly
could
not
do
it
without
my
team.
Heather
vinner
is
a
rock
star.
If
you've
worked
with
her,
she
is
really
the
one
that
led
all
of
the
columbia,
gardens
and
serano
response
and
all
of
her
team
and
I'm
just
very
fortunate
to
work
with
such
a
wonderful
staff
that
is
so
committed
to
helping
people.
So
thank
you.
F
Okay,
so
two
quick,
quick
items,
but
I
see
we're
joined
by
the
sheriff
here.
I
just
wanted
to
let
you
know.
We've
had
a
number
of
conversations.
F
F
One-Time
funding
for
retention
bonuses
for
the
sheriff
and
they'll
be
allocated
again,
as
I
mentioned
as
part
of
closeout,
when
we
come
back
in
the
fall
and
these
funds
would
be
used
to
alleviate
some
of
the
pressures
faced
by
the
sheriff
and
the
current
plan
is
my
understanding.
They'll
be
used
to
provide
4
500
gross
bonuses
to
staff
hire
before
july
of
2019,
excluding
a
few
people
in
the
senior
management
ranks.
It's
a
short-term
solution.
F
A
F
F
No,
the
funds
are
available
right
now
and
the
money
will
be
flowing
as
we
speak,
and
it's
just.
We
will
identify
the
specific
fund
source.
It's
likely
to
be
out
of
that
one-time
source
of
funds
that
I
mentioned,
but
I'm
not
asking
you
to
take
an
appropriation
action.
We
actually
so
people
think
that
we're
being
a
little
bit
cavalier
about
it,
we're
in
the
first
month
of
the
fiscal
year,
and
so
we,
the
question,
is
not
having
the
money.
F
A
You
very
much
well,
I'm
glad
we
can
do
that
and
really
appreciate
the
sheriff's
approaching
us
with
the
opportunity
to
support
what
I
know
has
been
a
really
challenging
set
of
dynamics.
A
We
appreciate
very
much
the
deputies
who
have
stayed
with
us
and
continue
to
make
their
careers
in
arlington
and
hope
that
this
is
at
least
an
interim
step
that
we
can
be
partnering
and
taking
in
showing
that
value
as
they
continue
to
do
really
important
work
on
behalf
of
not
only
the
sheriff's
office,
but
the
individuals
and
men
and
women
who
are
remanded
to
the
care
of
the
department.
So,
colleagues,
mr
defending.
C
Thanks
to
the
manager,
as
well
as
to
you,
madam
chair,
for
the
work
on
this
and
to
the
sheriff
I'm
mindful
of
the
importance
of
valuing
employees,
and
I
think
it's
worth
just
calling
out.
Thank
you
to
to
the
deputy
right
here
who
helped
us
on
saturday
and
I'm
mindful
of
all
the
work
that
you're
doing
to
to
care
for
those
in
your
care.
Thanks
very
much.
A
F
Update
last
thing
very
quickly,
30
seconds
just
wanted
to
update
people.
We've
continued
getting
a
lot
of
calls.
I'm
one
of
the
people
who
lives
in
the
residential
permit
parking
area
july
1
was
the
deadline.
We've
extended
that
deadline
to
august
1st.
I
want
people
to
rest
assured
if
they
haven't
received
their
permit.
F
We've
had
some
the
challenges
internally.
We've
taken
care
of
working
with
our
outside
vendor
has
been
a
real
challenge,
so
people
should
not
be
worried
about
are
enforcing
their
lack
of
having
a
sticker
and
if
you
go
to
the
county
website,
there's
more
information
there.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
I
made
that
announcement
and
with
that
I
will
end
my
report
for
july.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
mr
manager.
I
know
that
has
been
a
pain
point
for
many
in
our
community,
so
knowing
that
enforcement
is
not
about
to
begin
imminently
until
we
can
get
those
issues
resolved,
I
think,
is
an
important
message
to
share
all
right.
We
have
now
a
notice
of
claim
presentation.
We
welcome
mcdonald
landscape
inc
represented
by
their
attorneys
with
asmar
shore
and
mckenna.
I
imagine
your
attorneys
will
be
the
ones
coming
forward
to
present
to
us
today
and
we
are
here
to
listen
and
hear
that
presentation
accordingly,.
A
K
K
My
name
is
larry
shore
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
here
on
behalf
of
mcdonald
landscape.
Our
law
firm,
has
asked
marshawn
mccann
in
washington
dc
with
me.
Is
scott
boyle,
a
fellow
lawyer
in
our
firm
and
mr
tim
mcdonald,
president
of
mcdonald,
landscaping
the
prime
contractor
for
the
construction
of
banneker
park
under
contract
with
arlington
county.
K
We
apologize
for
not
providing
material
to
be
put
on
the
screen.
We
did
submit
our
appeal
document
in
april
of
this
year
and
we
are
going
back
to
the
old
paper
model
here
by
presenting
notebooks
that
contain
the
appeal
letter
and
attachments
we
submitted.
K
K
We
submitted
our
appeal
by
letter
of
april
19.,
and
that
is,
as
I
pointed
out,
the
first
document
in
your
notebook
with
the
exhibits
behind
the
number
tabs.
We
responded
to
the
county,
manager's
final
decision
of
march
4
2022,
which
is
tab,
number
10.
and
and
they've
decided
on
the
mcdonnell
claim,
and
it
essentially
denied
the
bulk
of
it.
K
These
claims
have
been
around
since
late
2020
into
2021,
through
a
series
of
proposed
change
orders.
Ultimately
totaling
about
23
proposed
change,
orders
at
substantial
completion
on
december
11
2020
when
the
park
was
opened
to
the
public
and
through
final
acceptance
in
early
2021.,
the
project
is
complete,
all
of
the
fountains
are
working
and
mcdonald
is
ready
to
close
out
the
project
for
itself
and
the
county.
K
K
K
One
dime
for
specifically
the
months
of
maintenance
of
traffic
while
the
construction
was
underway
and
all
the
added
labor
equipment
and
materials
needed.
Over
and
above
the
contract,
estimated
amounts
and
mcdonald's
contract
price.
Based
on
those
estimates
which
were
generated
by
the
county
and
its
representatives
for
the
and
did
not
meet
the
ultimate
requirements
and
had
so
that
material
had
to
be
added
to
the
scope
in
order
to
perform
the
work
which
was
intended
by
the
county,
but
for
which
they
were
not
putting
up
the
adequate
resources.
K
K
What
we
have
is
the
original
contract
price.
This
was
not
a
small
job.
This
was
quite
an
effort
for
this
company
they're
used
to
making
quite
an
effort.
The
county
recognized
it
initially.
This
is
not.
You
know
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
little
corner
lot
someplace.
This
is
the
big
park
covered
a
lot
of
territory.
K
We
have
the
paid
to
date
amount.
We
have
the
120
000,
almost
121
000
amount
of
just
retained,
already
earned
money,
and
even
though
the
park
has
been
open
since
the
end
of
2020,
this
amount
has
still
been
retained.
We
finally
had
some
additional
proposed
change
orders.
After
over
a
year
of
of
attempted
negotiation
in
april
of
this
year,
they
recognized
36
472
dollars
of
additional
money,
but
that
has
not
yet
been
paid.
K
The
various
bases
for
the
claim
are
identified
here.
Pco
stands
for
proposed
change,
order,
the
the
nature
of
the
work
for
the
the
different
items,
etc.
Are
here
the
amounts
and
the
explanations?
K
K
Now
I
want
to
know
why.
Why
is
this
situation
still
here?
K
K
K
So
they,
although
they
required
repeated
and
redundant
verification
of
material
amounts,
not
in
dispute
they
and
they
received
it
a
number
of
times.
They
made
no
effort
whatsoever
to
acknowledge
it
and
to
indicate
that
there
was
in
fact
entitlement
to
money,
so
they
continued
their
practice
of
low
offers,
and
then
they
came
up
with
this
strange
number
of
272
thousand
dollars,
which
has
no
reference
to
any
particular
claim
item
that
was
made.
Where
did
this
come
from?
K
We
suggest
to
the
board
that
it
came
from
the
contingency
budget
in
the
original
project,
which
was
money
left,
and
they
decided
to
throw
it
on
the
table.
Even
in
this
letter
of
march
of
this
year,
denying
everything
and
without
any
other
basis,
they
say
we
that
they,
the
county
manager,
recommends
that
that
they
still
pay
this
offer
of
272
000,
and
we
know
exactly
where
it
comes
from.
K
When
we
got
the
letter
in
in
march
of
this
year,
we
were
extremely
upset
by
this
letter
because
we
considered
it
to
be
the
written
opposite
of
good
faith
and
fair
dealing,
and
we
considered
it
to
be
especially
based
on
the
continued
request
for
verification
of
additional
quantities.
Technically
dishonest.
K
K
K
But
then
we
have
a
very
interesting
twist
now
the
deputy
county
manager's
decision-
and
this
is
back
at
tab-
10
denying
all
of
the
claims
for
increased
material
quantities-
is
based
and
I'm
going
to
refer
to
the
the
manager
as
hard,
because
it
was
the
the
woman
who's.
The
deputy,
who
signed
a
purported
belief
that
this
was
a
lump
sum
firm,
fixed
price
contract,
meaning
that
the
risk
of
increased
or
decreased
quantities
and
the
price
impact
of
those
changes
falls
completely
on
the
contractor.
K
This
theory
is,
is
often
used
by
owners
in
an
attempt
to
transfer
all
the
risk
of
errors
in
their
own
estimated
quantities
dirt,
in
this
case
concrete
excavation
materials
etc.
On
to
the
contractor,
you
know
you
are
the
expert.
You
do
this
for
a
living.
So
it's
your
problem,
it's
not
our
problem,
and
that
was
discounting
the
fact
that
it
was
the
county
who
gave
the
numbers
and
discounting
the
fact
that
over
more
than
a
year,
they
wanted
absolute
proof
up
one
side
and
down
the
other
of
what
the
difference
in
the
quantities
was.
K
So
the
county
manager's
office
stated
initially
that
the
bidder
was
responsible
for
verifying
quantities
estimated
by
the
county
prior
to
contract
award,
and
this
was
a
big
justification
for
her
position,
because
this
was
an
assumption
that
if
a
bidder
had
to
do
this,
then
the
bidder
had
to
take
in
the
potential
problems
and
put
it
in
their
bid
price.
Well,
the
rationale
for
two
fails
for
two
important
reasons
that
we
noted
in
the
appeal
letter.
K
First
of
all,
the
solicitation
documents
clearly
state
that
it
is
the
contractor
already
selected
contractor,
who
must
verify
the
quantities
this
is
after
a
contractor
has
put
in
his
proposal
and
been
selected.
As
an
aside.
We
note
that,
because
some
of
the
drawings
were
changed
immediately
after
the
the
the
award
process
that
the
decision
was
made
and
new
drawings,
with
additional
data
that
the
bidder
never
had
were
provided.
K
Well,
the
contract
itself
contains
explicit
payment
provisions
for
increases
and
decreases
in
material
quantities
of
all
types,
and
these
again
were
estimated
by
the
county
and
its
representatives
with
the
differences
to
be
paid
according
to
the
contract
defined
unit
prices
for
the
different
materials.
I'd
like
everyone
to
just
turn
to
this
cover
letter.
K
For
for
for
one
moment,
if
you
would
and
look
at
page
two
of
the
letter
of
april
19
2022
starting
at
the
second
half
of
the
page,
talking
about
did
a
bitter
assume
the
risk
did
the
bidder
have
to
do
anything.
We
note
that
the
count
combined
and
I'm
down
at
the
lower
quarter
of
the
page,
combined
price
sheet
of
the
contract,
stated
with
emphasis
at
the
top
of
the
first
page.
K
The
quantities
specified
below
are
estimates
only
contractor
to
verify
per
drawings
and
specifications
there
it
is,
and
what
did
the
county
manager
say?
It
had
to
be
the
bitter
absolutely
wrong.
A
contractor
knows
that
it
has
to
do
this
work.
A
contractor
will
put
the
cost
of
doing
that
into
its
bid
to
verify
a
bidder
does
not
do
that.
K
Okay
and
the
county
says
they
do
not
guarantee
a
specific
volume
or
dollar
amount.
Then
we
go
to
the
the
top
of
the
next
page.
That
shows
sections
g,
one
b
and
g
five
c,
providing
for
increases
and
decreases
in
quantities
will
be
calculated
and
compensated
by
the
counting
at
the
unit
prices
provided
in
the
bid
there.
It
is
at
the
top
of
the
third
page
contract
general
conditions
unit
unit
price.
K
So
therefore
it's
our
position
that
the
contract
itself
resolves
this
issue
in
favor
of
mcdonald.
This
is
a
unit
price
contract
with
price
adjustments
anticipated
the
pcos
identifying
the
increased
materials
bought
and
installed
by
mcdonald
must
be
paid
for
by
the
county
under
providing,
as
provided
for
in
its
own
contract.
K
I
note
here
that
there
is
established
law
in
virginia
and
every
other
state
that
a
contract
must
be
read
to
include
all
the
words
in
the
document,
and
I
suggest
no
court
and
I've
been
in
the
arlington
county
court.
Myself
will
accept
an
interpretation
or
reading
that
ignores
language
in
the
contract
or
the
plain
meaning
of
that
contract
language.
K
This
is
a
direction
for
unit
prices
and
to
pay
for
the
changes.
We
consider
this
issue
to
be
the
most
important
because,
as
scott
boyle
will
show
you,
every
estimated
amount
of
materials
was
increased
in
the
course
of
actual
installation,
and
the
added
amounts
were
verified
multiple
times
without
any
rebuttal
by
the
counting.
K
K
Despite
knowing
this
to
be
the
fact,
the
county
when
it
went
ahead
and
and
knowing
that
this
all
this
additional
work
took
additional
time
to
add
insult
to
injury.
In
this
last
letter,
and
for
the
very
first
time
in
2022,
the
county
manager
went
ahead
and
assessed
liquidated
damages
for
delay
against
mcdonald
mcdonald.
K
K
K
We
we
think
that,
and
we
ask
again
that
an
instruction
be
given
directing
a
settlement
of
the
claim.
Thank
you
very
much
and
I'll
now
turn
it
over
to
scott
boyle.
L
I
believe
this
is
art
john
hi,
I'm
scott
boyle,
so
I
am
an
associate
under
larry,
I'm
also
an
arlington
resident.
So
thank
you
all
for
your
service
personally
and
thank
you
for
staying
at
5
14
to
hear
us
today,
as
he
just
explained,
and
I'll
try
not
to
be
too
redundant.
But
the
basic
themes
have
to
be
the
same:
that
there
were
errors
in
this
solicitation
documents
that
led
to
this
contract
and
those
errors
were,
unfortunately,
the
result
of
the
county's
actions
and
the
risks
of
the
extra
excuse
me.
L
The
risk
of
the
costs
coming
from
those
errors
has
to
be
borne
by
the
county
and
that's
the
nature
of
a
unit
price
contract.
We
bid
for
a
price
per
unit
on
a
number
of
things,
and
I'm
going
to
try
to
make
this
a
little
more
concrete
by
talking
about
what
those
things
are,
but
as
more
materials
as
more
of
these
things
are
required.
L
When
the
you
know
final
specifications
are
released,
then
that
price
per
unit
is
going
to
increase
the
total
cost
of
the
contract,
and
that's
what
happened
here.
So
I'm
going
to
try
to
break
this
down
into
three
parts
for
you.
The
first
is
what,
in
throughout
all
of
the
documents
in
that
binder
is
referred
to
as
proposed
change,
orders
four
and
eight
so
proposed
change
order.
L
Those
estimates
turned
out
to
be
about
55
percent
lower
than
what
was
actually
required.
That's
a
a
very
significant
amount
of
extra
concrete
that
needed
to
be
poured
and
extra
work
that
needed
to
be
put
into
these
categories,
so
each
of
those
as
those
increase
needs
to
be.
You
know
in
a
unit
price
contract,
but
just
naturally
the
bids
were
produced
in
reliance
on
the
county's
estimates
and
when
the
estimates
are
55
off,
we
bid
a
price
per
unit.
55
more
units
means
55
percent,
more
unit
price
added
to
that
section
of
the
contract.
L
If
you
want
to
see
all
of
these
numbers,
they
are
within
the
attachments
to
the
letter
and
tab.
Three,
your
binder.
It's
several
pages
long
we
can
get
as
into
the
weeds,
as
you
guys
want
to
get
feel
free
to
interrupt
me
and
ask
for
more
detail.
But
it's
you
know,
item
by
item
through
a
very
technical
government
contract.
These
numbers
just
came
up
far
higher
than
what
the
county
estimated
pco8
falls
into
the
same
categories
as
proposed
change
order
eight
and
that
one's
a
little
bit
larger.
L
L
That's
a
huge
increase
in
the
amount
of
soil
that
had
to
be
moved
and
the
quantities
of
this
you
know
deserve
to
be
paid
like
the
county
did
receive
that
work.
It
has
been
done
all
of
these
estimates
like
we're
not
making
them
up.
We
verified
them.
The
county
asked
us
to
verify
to
them
again:
mcdonnell
did
the
work
had
its
internal
people
substantiate
these
claims.
L
The
county
then
asked
again
for
an
external
report,
so
sds
a
consulting
firm,
was
hired
to
study
this
plot
and
to
study
the
county
specifications
and
confirmed
yet
again
that
these
estimates
were
that
drastically
off
the
county's
own
team.
Just
note
that
that's
all
that
three
I
did
yeah,
that's
it's
all
the
earth
work
as
well
is
also
in
tab.
Three,
that's
a
letter
and
the
attachments
to
that
letter
contain
sds's
consulting
report
confirming
these
estimates
and
how
off
they
were,
there's
a
column
in
there.
L
That's
going
to
show
you
the
delta,
it's
several
pages,
but
it's
it's
been
confirmed
three
times
the
county
has
met
with
sds
consultants
and
they
we
never
heard
any
dispute
of
these
amounts.
There
doesn't
seem
to
be
any
existing
dispute
about
the
the
amount
of
work
that
needed
to
be
done.
That
work
had
to
be
done
in
order
to
meet
the
specification.
L
If
the
answer
was
that
the
quantities
don't
matter,
but
the
verification
has
been
done,
ultimately,
you
guys
are
not
bound
by
the
decisions
of
the
people
before
you
and
you
can
trust
the
numbers
you
have
they've
gone
over
more
times
than
we
can
count
at
this
point
so
moving
on
from
there
in
the
latest
decisions,
the
counties
asserted
a
handful
of
new
arguments
that
don't
make
a
whole
lot
of
sense
to
me.
L
But-
and
you
can
see
this
in
table
11,
there's
a
cover
page
and
then
you'll
see
all
the
contract
terms
that
were
released
with
the
solicitation
documents.
It's
very
clear.
Those
parts
are
actually
highlighted,
because
that
was
a
letter
that
was
sent
to
the
county,
where
we
demonstrate
that
the
removal
of
soil
in
order
to
make
room
for
a
pathway
is
very
explicitly
called
out
as
a
separate
item
of
work.
That
was
included
in
the
earthwork
item
and
the
suggestion
that
that
should
have
been
provided
within
the
cost.
That
was
bid
for
pathway
construction.
L
I
mean
those
are
separate
bid
items
and
the
prices
that
was
bid
for
removal
of
an
excavation
was
a
separate
amount
of
funding.
Then
the
amount
that
was
bid
for
making
the
pathway
and
the
concrete
works
that
you'll
see
later
in
that
same
document,
I'm
not
sure
like.
I,
we
we've
not
gotten
a
real,
clear
answer
as
to
why
the
county
manager's
decision
combined
those
into
a
single
unit
and
insisted
that
it
meant
a
single
unit
of
work.
L
They
were,
of
course,
bid
separately
and
a
second
issue
that
has
come
up
is
during
the
solicitation.
You'll
see
this.
I
did
write
it
down,
but
there
are
bid
maps.
It's
there,
sorry,
the
maps
of
the
park
in
the
bid
documents
they're
in
tab
13.
They
start
on
the
fourth
page
when
this
solicitation
was
released,
bidders
were
given
a
map
that
showed
what
you
know.
L
L
Those
are
the
numbers
that
are
needed
to
know
how
much
earth
needs
to
be
moved.
Those
are
the
spot
elevations
that
data
wasn't
available
and
the
suggestion
that
that
a
bidder
should
have
been
able
to
verify
the
county's
estimates
of
earth
work
or
to
know
how
much
earth
needed
to
be
moved.
Irregardless
of
what
the
county
had
estimated
without
those
numbers
is
just
perplexing
to
us.
I
mean
we
could
not
have
done
that.
L
It
just
doesn't
hold
water
for
us
I
mean
we
relied
on
the
county's
estimates,
because
that's
all
we
had
it's
all
that
logic
requires
it's
all.
That
law
requires
and
we're
entitled
to
rely
on
those
estimates
and
when
they
turn
out
to
be
wrong,
we
are
entitled
to
be
paid
for
the
difference,
so
that
stands
out
for
both
pros
change.
Orders:
four,
with
the
extra
materials
and
proposed
change
order,
eight,
which
is
the
extra
earth
work,
proposed
change
order.
Seven
is
a
little
bit
different.
L
This
is
another
error
in
the
bid
form
that
the
county
has
admitted
was
an
error
in
the
bid
form
it's
first
page
in
tab,
one.
If
you
want
to
see
it,
it
was
a
request
for
information
that
was
sent
after
the
bids
had
been
submitted,
but
before
a
contractor
had
been
chosen.
As
I
understand
it
there,
they
did
release
information
explaining
that
this
was
wrong,
but
the
bids
had
already
been
submitted,
so
it
was
too
late
for
anyone
to
update
their
bid.
L
L
Now.
Maintenance
of
traffic
is
not
something
you
just
do
in
the
first
week
of
a
project.
This
is
a
very
long
two
and
a
half
million
dollar
project.
That's
an
ongoing
task,
but
it
wasn't
listed
on
the
bid
form.
It
didn't
appear
that
anyone
was
asking
the
contractors
responding
to
this
request
to
bid
for
that
work.
L
It
was
just
not
there.
It
was
only
a
mobilization.
We
bid
zero
because
mobilization
does
not
require
any
maintenance
of
traffic
and
because
we
needed
to
keep
mobilization
under
three
percent
at
the
same
time,
there's
nowhere
else
to
put
it
there's.
Nowhere
else
to
you
know,
we
can't
just
like
drastically
increase
the
price
price
of
concrete
to
count
account
for
this
missing
item
in
the
bid.
L
The
presumption
is,
if
the
county
didn't
ask
us
to
bid
on
it,
the
county
didn't
want
it
and
it
was
not
an
in-scope
project
or
an
install
piece
of
the
item
or
of
the
contract
that
ended
up
not
being
true.
The
county
did
want
maintenance
of
traffic
work,
the
maintenance
of
traffic
work
was
provided
and
now
there's
a
dispute
over
whether
the
change
order
to
provide
that
maintenance
of
traffic
should
be
answered.
L
L
After
bidding,
they
had
an
opportunity
to
ask
questions
and
to
just
talk
to
the
county
manager,
but
the
bid
had
already
been
submitted.
They
couldn't
work
this
into
other
sections
of
the
bid,
because
that
would
have
made
their
bid
non-competitive.
Other
bidders
aren't
going
to
do
that,
so
we're
not
going
to
artificially
inflate
other
areas
of
the
bid
to
cover
this
cost,
but
without
doing
so,
there's
just
no
way
that
that
a
bitter
at
that
stage
in
this
process
could
have
recognized
that
a
this
was
a
mistake.
L
L
So
ultimately,
there
just
was
no
maintenance
of
traffic
outside
of
the
mobilization
scope
it
was
provided.
It
is
a
change
order
and
just
like
before
it
was.
It
should
be
compensated.
It's
entitled
to
be
compensated
and
that's
it.
It
is
what
it
is.
It's
an
unfortunate
mistake,
but
it's
not
a
mistake
that
mcdonald
made
and
it's
not
a
mistake
that
mcdonald's
should
have
to
pay
for
then.
L
L
So
if
you
look
there's
a
very
complete
analysis
of
in
tab,
five,
the
last
three
pages
of
that
tab,
which
will
provide
a
breakdown
of
where
the
119
days
that
we're
claiming
come
from.
But
there
are
119
days
that
come
from
extra
labor
from
the
county
because
we
couldn't,
you
know,
perform
this
extra
work
without
authorization
from
the
county
and
there
were
some
delays
in
getting
that
meeting.
L
So
for
a
while,
the
project
was
dormant
and
once
we
got
the
meeting
and
we
got
the
notice
to
proceed,
they
proceeded
at
no
point
was
mcdonnell
ever
asked
to
accelerate
the
work
or
to
add
more
manpower
in
order
to
keep
it
within
its
original
time
frame,
despite
the
increased
quantities
and
so
again
just
like
unit
price.
You
know,
price
goes
up
as
quantities
go
up.
Well,
time
goes
up
as
quantities
go
up
and
that's
expected.
A
Mr
boyle,
thank
you.
Thank
you
as
well,
mr
shore,
for
your
presentation,
mr
mcdonald,
nice,
to
see
you
thank
you
for
joining
us.
I
will
open
the
floor
of
collee's.
Have
questions
this
time.
I'll
know
that
you've
provided
us
with
an
excellent
deal
of
information
for
review,
as
well
as
the
presentation
you've
offered
today,
and
we
certainly
take
seriously
the
the
appeal
that
you've
brought
before
us
for
our
consideration,
as
we
reconvene
later
in
the
evening,
we'll
be
prepared
to
comment
further.
Thank
you
again
for
your
time.
A
A
A
And
we
are
returning
from
closed
session,
so
I'm
going
to
make
a
motion
to
certify.
I
move
that
the
members
of
the
county
board
certify
at
the
just
concluded
closed
session.
First,
only
public
business
matters
lawfully
exempted
from
open
meeting
requirements
under
chapter
37,
title
2.2
of
the
code
of
virginia
and
further
only
such
public
business
matters
as
were
identified
in
the
motion
by
which
the
closed
meeting
more
conv
was
convened
or
heard,
discussed
or
considered
by
the
board.
G
K
A
All
right,
thank
you
so
much.
We
do
not
have
any
items
that
were
pulled
from
our
consent
agenda,
so
we're
going
to
move
straight
into
our
regular
items.
Ms
jacobs,
could
you
please
call
the
first.
G
A
So
much
mr
manager
and
we
have
some
staff
from
the
department
of
management
and
finance.
And
if
you
have
introductions
remarks
or
any
other
comments
to
make.
F
A
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
manager,
so
the
conversation
is
now
with
the
board.
We
had
some
dialogue
on
thursday
as
we
sought
to
wrap
up
with
items
sort
of
final
remaining
items.
We
indicated
some
of
the
amendments
that
the
board
members
would
be
making
both
to
allocations
as
well
as
guidance.
A
I
think
what
probably
makes
the
most
sense
is
for
us
to
walk
through
the
guidance
in
specific,
because
we
did
not
have
language
at
the
time
on
thursday
merely
concepts.
So
let
me
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
proposed
guidance
and
from
there.
I
think,
we'll
look
for
emotion
unless
there
are
remaining
items
in
need
of
dialogue.
As
a
reminder,
we
had
a
series
of
work
sessions
as
well
as
a
public
hearing.
A
We
really
appreciate
the
involvement
of
our
department
of
management
and
finance
staff,
as
well
as
our
departmental
leadership
on
a
number
of
these
options,
including
some
pretty
large
and
historic
investments
in
areas
like
stormwater,
public
schools
and
others.
So
whenever
monoclerq
are
ready,
fantastic.
Thank
you.
So
much
so
with
some
specificity,
we'll
just
note,
as
we
talked
about
on
thursday,
the
emphasis
on
our
guidance
or
our
expectation
that
our
cip
aligns
with
that
of
the
school
board.
A
In
particular,
the
final
edition
of
the
school
board
made
to
their
superintendents
recommended
cip,
which
was
the
addition
of
about
15
million
in
the
final
year
of
its
cip
program
for
the
career
center,
specifically
to
convert
the
existing
career
center
site
for
a
permanent
home
for
the
arlington
public
school
or
the
montessori
program
of
arlington.
I
always
get
that
wrong.
A
Mpsa
the
montessori
program,
and
noting
too,
that
we
are
coordinating
directly
with
the
schools
on
synthetic
field
replacement,
sometimes
synthetic
turf
at
field
replacements,
speaking
of
which
the
note
that
we
are
accelerating
the
conversion
of
kenmore
middle
school
fields,
from
grass
to
synthetic
turf,
which
involves
a
reduction
of
the
funding
estimate
since
we're
moving
it
closer
to
current
year
dollars,
and
it
will
allow
for
us
to
proceed
over
the
next
two
years
and
that
by
the
time
we
reach
our
next
cip,
we'll
be
ready
for
construction
cost.
A
We
also
want
to
put
a
marker
down
that
we
are
expecting.
This
project
will
benefit
from
a
minimum
of
two
million
dollars
in
contributions
from
private
partners
and
philanthropic
partners
as
a
way
of
expediting
that
speaking
of
partnerships
with
private
partners.
We
are
also
accelerating
the
design
funding
for
the
first
phase
of
gateway
park,
also
known
as
the
east
side
of
gateway
park.
We
are
moving
the
design
funding
up
to
be
included
in
this
referendum.
A
So,
as
we
vote
on
the
referendum
language
later,
we
should
know
that
that
includes
funds
for
the
master
planning
of
gateway
park.
We
anticipate
that
that
would
allow
the
the
move
from
design
into
construction
later
as
part
of
the
upcoming
cip.
The
construction
funding
is
currently
listed
for
fiscal
2027,
but
we
are
looking
forward
to
using
that
design
and
accepted
master
plan
as
a
tent
pole
around
which
to
organize
public-private
partnerships
in
the
rosslyn
area,
to
realize
this
transformative
public
project
for
the
gateway,
quite
literally,
to
arlington.
A
Also
speaking
of
roslyn,
there
are
expectations
for
public-private
partnerships
around
the
boathouse.
We
heard
some
commentary
about
that
on
saturday.
We
know
that
this
is
a
project
that
has
been
long
envisioned.
A
I
think
at
this
point
for
20,
maybe
more
years,
but
it
is
also
a
project
that
I
think
all
of
us
feel
strongly
should
be
about
not
just
serving
the
needs
of
the
rowing
community,
but
helping
ensure
that
all
arlingtonians
have
access
to
the
potomac
river,
something
that
we
don't
have
right
now,
despite
our
proximity
to
that
valuable
natural
resource,
pickleball
a
high
priority
for
a
number
of
members,
our
community,
we
know
that
there
is,
with
the
plan
currently
for
the
cip,
suggests
that
engagement
efforts
will
begin
more
or
less
immediately
to
begin
planning
a
new
dedicated
pickleball
facility
at
walter,
reed,
tennis
courts.
A
We
also
know
that
there
is
a
desire
to
see
that
construction
done
as
soon
as
possible,
and
so
this
represents
our
expectations
and
understanding
that,
to
the
extent
the
community
is
willing
to
move
expeditiously
through
engagement,
we
look
forward
to
that
as
well,
and
certainly
the
construction
of
the
project
should
be
completed
no
later
than
calendar
year.
2024
and
pickleball
players
should
be
on
those
courts.
A
We
had
some
conversation
about
this
on
thursday.
This
is
a
project
12th
street
south,
the
complete
streets,
connection
between
south
monroe
and
glebe.
This
is
a
particularly
challenging
process
project
identified
initially
as
an
opportunity
to
improve
grid
connectivity
and
really
a
complete
street,
which
is
to
say
one
that
would
also
include
auto
access
where
there
is
not
any
right
now.
I
think
we
have
found
that
it
has
been
very
difficult
to
serve
the
needs
and
meet
the
needs
of
all
users
as
envisioned
in
that
project.
A
More
importantly,
however,
I
think
there's
a
recognition
that
there
are
bike
boulevards
projects,
especially
in
columbia,
pike
that
are
that
are
very
high
priority
and,
of
course,
dollars
are
not
infinite,
and
so
there's
a
desire
to
reprioritize
that
2.7
million
dollars
in
allocated
funding
to
be
spent
instead
on
other
bike
boulevards
project
and
that
we
look
forward
to
seeing
some
specific
projects
about
those
next
gaps
that
staff
can
move
forward
with.
We
know
too
as
well.
This
project
may
be
revisited
in
the
future.
A
There
may
be
development
opportunities
or
other
priorities
that
bring
it
back
to
the
table,
but
at
this
point,
we're
going
to
propose
focusing
on
other
columbia,
pike
bike
boulevard
program
projects.
Instead,
the
army
navy
country
club
a
major
priority
throughout
the
cip
and
elsewhere,
an
opportunity
to
connect
the
columbia,
pike
neighborhood
with
2202
a
safe
route
to
school
for
a
number
of
students
and
otherwise
ensure
that
colombia
pikers
can
participate
in
the
economic
development
happening
in
crystal
city
in
pentagon
city
and
vice
versa.
A
We
are
interested
in
realizing
this
project,
and
so
we
are
oh,
we
are
interested
in
realizing
this
project.
We
are
also
in
recognition
that
the
manager,
cip,
proposed
funding
really
for
just
one
option
of
two
that
had
been
considered.
We
were
pleased
to
learn
from
our
staff
that
there
may
be
a
hybrid
approach
to
either
a
stair
rental
option
which
had
been
the
one
funded
in
the
manager's
recommendation
or
a
very
steep
wall.
A
Trail
they've
been
working
to
iterate
and
come
up
with
something
in
between
that
could
be
safe
and
welcoming
for
all
users.
But
we
recognize
that
hybrid
option
is
going
to
require
more
funding
than
that
which
is
currently
programmed
in
the
cip.
So
one
of
the
places
we
we
believe
that
we'd,
like
the
manager
to
look
for
funds
to
re-prioritize
re-prioritize,
would
be
the
potential
deferral
of
the
airport
viadeck
project
and
that
could
free
up
as
much
as
1.5
million
as
the
manager
prepares
the
next
cip.
A
We
are
also
optimistic
about
federal
and
state
grant
opportunities,
particularly
the
federal
reconnecting
communities
program
as
a
way
of
funding
and
realizing
the
the
goals
for
this
project.
I
am
going
to
stop
talking
and
invite
some
of
my
colleagues
to
weigh
in
I
know
mr
defranti
cared
a
lot.
We
all
care
a
lot
about
our
bus,
stop,
accessibility,
conversions
and
I
know
we've
been
talking
to
staff
about
opportunities
to
accelerate
that
where
possible.
So,
if
you'd
like
to
speak
to
that.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
The
we
heard
in
the
course
of
the
public
engagement
process.
We
heard
several
bring
to
us
the
the
accessibility
of
our
bus
stops
and
the
need
to
move
as
quickly
as
we
can.
This
language
essentially
recognizes.
In
particular,
I
want
to
highlight
that
negotiation
of
easements
does
take
time.
We
want
to
work
as
quickly
as
possible,
but
we
also
know
that
easements
when
obtained
voluntarily
is,
is
by
far
our
preference.
C
A
Thank
you,
mr
defranti.
Ms
garvey,
would
you
like
to
speak
to
the
investments
in
arlington
view.
D
Sure,
just
a
little
bit-
and
you
know
really-
this
is
part
of
our
focus
on
equity
and
realizing
that
systemic
racism
has
created
a
lot
of
problems
for
some
of
our
traditionally
black
neighborhoods
and
arlington
view
is
one
of
those
and
so
doing
exactly
what
we've
been
doing
for
all
across
the
county
doesn't
really
quite
help
solve
the
equity
issue.
D
If
somebody's
really,
if
an
area
has
had
you
know
a
lot
of
these
effects
and
our
happily
our
new,
our
neighborhoods
program
is
working
on
an
equity
structure
and
how
they're
going
to
sort
of
handle
that
moving
forward,
which
is
great.
There
is
about
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
we
are
putting
in
in
one
time,
funding
to
provide
some
beautification
enhancements.
There's
an
arlington
view
of
small
park
there
that
doesn't
look
like
a
park
right
now,
because
it
really
hasn't
had
much
treatment
at
all.
D
So
as
part
of
that
effort
that
will
go
forward,
it's
not
really
part
of
the
cip,
but
it
is
something
that
we
are
doing,
and
then
we
are
also
urging
the
community-
and
I
know
they
are
doing
this
actually
to
work
on
their
new
neighborhoods
plan
with
the
arlington
neighborhoods
program,
so
we're
just
kind
of
giving
that
a
little
bit
of
extra
focus
and
a
little
bit
of
extra
treatment
to
help
kind
of
make
up
for
a
long
long
time
of
mistreatment
in
some
ways
or
benign
neglect
is
what
they
used
to
call
it
sometimes.
D
Talk
a
little
bit
about
the
day
program.
You
know,
as
we
know,
we've
had
quite
a
a
growing
need
for
day
programs
for
our
developmentally
disabled
adults
and
they
and
their
families
have
had
such
a
hard
time
ever.
It's
been
hard
with
the
pandemic
for
everyone,
but
particularly
for
this
community
and
this
population.
D
They
have,
there
are
day
programs,
a
number
of
them
outside
of
arlington,
and
then
you
get
into
problems
of
transportation.
So
we
are
working
on
a
pilot
program
in
our
budget
and
thank
my
colleagues
for
doing
that.
We
we
put
in
some
money
for
a
pilot
program
at
sequoia,
which
is
underway
now
and
that'll
just
be
about
10
to
15
clients.
D
The
population
in
need
is
quite
a
lot
bigger,
so
we're
putting
giving
just
direction
to
the
manager
here
and
making
it
clear
is
a
part
of
the
next
next
10-year
cip,
that
gets
developed,
that
some
additional
opportunities
will
be
identified
for
programs
day
programs
for
the
developmentally
disabled
here
in
arlington
and
work
to
meet
the
needs
of
this
growing
population.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
excellent
and
a
conversation
about
electric
systems
in
county
government
buildings.
Mr
defranci,
I
know
you
mister
karen
thomas
have
been
working
on
this,
and
so,
if
you'd
like
to
say
a
word
or
two
about
this
guidance
to
the
manager.
C
If
you
the
first
paragraph,
the
last
sentence
both
includes
the
past
year,
but
also
a
look
towards
look
ahead
so
that
we
can
have
the
engagement
that
our
residents
have
also
shared.
We
don't
want
to
be
micromanaging,
but
we
do
want
to
be
changing
policies,
so
our
default
or
continuing
to
move
follow
policy
ahead
so
that
our
default
more
and
more
often
as
the
technology
evolves,
is
electric
buildings.
But
mr
carantonis
has
also
been
working
quite
a
bit
on
this.
B
Thank
you,
ma'am
chair
and
thank
you,
mr
deferenti,
and
also
county
staff
for
working
with
us
on
this.
This
reflects
a
conversation
that
we
have
had.
You
know
with
increasingly
increasing
intensity
throughout
this
year
and
even
this
past
year.
What
can
we
done
to
you
know
to
reduce
the
carbon
footprint
of
our
buildings
to
to
really
implement
technologies
and
built
in
a
way
that
will
be
compatible
with
requirements
20
years
from
now,
30
years
from
now
etc?
Everybody
is
reading
the
news.
B
I
guess,
and
we
all
understand,
that
the
climate
emergency
is
exactly
what
the
name
says
is
an
emergency
and
it
behooves
us
all,
especially
those
who
can
make
these
choices
to
make
the
most
carbon.
You
know
the
lowest
carbon
decisions
here
now.
This
is
not
so
easy
and
we
have
seen
in
several.
You
know
attempts
to
to
carbonize
our
our
own
buildings,
the
buildings
that
the
government
should
be
building
as
examples
and
leaders
in
in
the
sector
to
show
the
feasibility.
B
There
are
several
obstacles
that
that
make
it
sometimes
very
difficult
to
implement
to
fossilize,
not
non-fossil,
supported
technologies.
Like
you
know,
gas,
boilers
or
hvac.
That
works
still
with
natural
gas.
This
is
an
this
is
the
the
guidance
here
tries
to
focus
on
what
should
be
the
default
policy,
and
we
have
absolute
trust
and
staff
in
the
county
staff
to
implement
that
policy,
and
we
have
seen
really
you
know
real
investment
in
in
doing
so.
B
What
we,
what
this
guidance
adds
to,
that
is
that
we
are
asking
the
county
manager
to
to
provide
us
with
a
report
every
year
to
show
what
you
know
what
has
been
done,
what
couldn't
be
done
for
and
for
what
reason,
and
then
to
give
us
a
forecast.
B
What
is
ahead
of
us
and
how
and
how
county
staff
is
planning
to
to
go
about
that
and
what
kind
of
technical
solutions
staff
is
proposing
in
order
to
be
consistent
with
our
decarbonization
goals,
I
am
very
happy
to
to
see
two
elements
included
in
this
guidance:
the
compliance
and
alignment
with
with
a
community
energy
plan
with
the
implementation
framework
and
with
a
soon
to
be
revealed.
I
I
very
much
hope
so.
B
A
Absolutely
thank
you
so
much,
mr
carontonis.
We
could
open
the
floor
before
we
go
to
emotion.
Are
there
any
other
questions
or
things
to
add
about
guidance
that
we
may
have
missed,
really
appreciate
the
efforts
of
colleagues
to
work
these
through
and
particularly
ms
cowan,
who
helped
shepherd
through
quite
a
number
of
these
different
priorities
into
forms
that
we
could
be
adopted
into
guidance
for
the
manager?
So
with
that
I'll
recognize
mr
dorsey,
for
a
motion
on
our
capital
improvement
plan.
Thank.
E
You,
madam
chair,
I'd
like
to
move
the
county
board,
adopt
the
county,
manager's
recommendations
found
in
the
board
report
dated
july
15
2022
for
item
40a,
and
it
includes
four
parts
actually
includes
five
parts:
to
adopt
the
fiscal
year:
2023
to
2032
capital
improvement
plan,
our
first
10-year
ic
10-year
cip,
in
a
while
yay
to
also
adopt
the
bonds.
A
Great
that's
been
moved
and
seconded
any
discussion
or
concluding
comments.
Mr
dorsey
I'll
recognize
you
first.
If
you
wanted
to
speak
any
further
to
it,
I'll.
E
Just
speak
briefly,
since
a
lot
has
been
said
about
the
cip
and
the
fact
that
we
are
returning
to
a
10-year
outlook
is
a
great
thing
for
our
community
that
we're
able
to
think
about
our
needs
a
little
bit
more
broadly
and
get
out
of
this
emergency
posturing,
posture
that
we
have
been
in
for
the
last
couple
of
years.
The
pandemic.
I
will
note
for
people
who
are
following
the
changes
from
the
proposed
cip.
E
There
is
a
summary
table
in
the
board
report
where
I,
I
believe,
some
of
the
sub
line
items
math
got
out
of
whack.
It
doesn't
implicate
the
bottom
line,
but
this
is
a
4.4
billion
dollar
10-year
capital
program,
which
is
which
includes
all
the
ways
that
we're
going
to
invest
in
the
things
that
are
necessary
for
county
government
that
are
necessary
for
our
public
schools.
E
But
I
think
in
a
few
key
areas,
some
of
which
we've
outlined
with
the
guidance,
are
going
to
absolutely
move
our
community
forward,
faster,
which
I
am
thrilled,
and
so
I'm
happy
to
make
this
motion
and
to
support
this
plan.
D
Of
friends,
I
just
simply
want
to
say
another
thank
you
to
our
staff,
particularly,
I
mean
because
this
it's
all
kind
of
going
pretty
smoothly
right
now,
but
there's
an
incredible
amount
of
work
that
that
goes
into
this
and
really
really
do
appreciate
it
all
the
work
and
effort
that
went
in
and,
I
think
very
responsive
to
you
know
what
we're
hearing
from
our
community
and
what
we
feel
this
plan
should
be
expressing
for
our
community.
I'm
really
pleased
the
way
it
has
all
come
out
and
thank
you
very
much.
C
I
I
would
say
it
a
big
thanks
to
our
community.
I
think
that
the
the
input
that
we
received
from
the
community
is
reflected
in
the
final
document
and
certainly
I
was
perhaps
more
concerned
at
the
start
of
the
cip
process,
but
I
really
do
want
to
thank
miss
cowan
and
mr
schwartz,
the
manager,
for
we
got
a
lot
reflected.
Not
every
last
thing
that
one
might
that
one
or
the
other
board
member
might
wish.
But
we've
got
a
lot
reflected
from
our
community
input.
C
B
Thank
you,
ma'am
chair,
first,
a
a
big
recognition
to
you
as
well
to
staff
for
for,
for
you
know,
shepherding
this
process.
This
has
been.
B
This
has
been
really
if,
if
I
have
a
word
to
describe
that
this
was
the
demonstration
of
what
pent-up
demand
may
mean
right
after
so
many
so
so
many
years,
let's,
let's
put
a
4.4
billion
dollars,
it's
10
years,
of
course,
but
this
is
a
long-term
vision
for
our
community
that
covers
so
many
things
and
we
have
seen
you
know
items
you
know
popping
up
and
and
taking
a
lot
of
central
stage
here,
like
the
utilities,
investment
investments
in
climate
and
environment
and
the
investments
in
in
in
our
schools.
B
That
was
also
a
very,
very
high
amount,
and
so
much
more
that
mr
dorsey
correctly
pointed
to,
and,
and
you
know
in
the
list
that
is
published
in
the
board
report.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
for
engaging.
Thank
you
for
everybody
who
has
provided
input
in
the
cap
at
this
this
time
the
the
community
engagement
was
incredibly
intensive.
B
It
was
incredibly
thoughtful
and
created
also
space
for
a
lot
of
further
further
thinking
as
a
cip
is
a
living
document
and
it's
a
it's
a
guiding
document,
but
at
the
same
time
it's
also
a
living
document,
because
every
time
we
make
this
decision,
we
already
begin
the
work
for
reviewing
and
updating
this
decision.
A
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
carontonis.
I
agree
very
much
about
your
point
about
pen
up
demand
and
it
also
represents
some
investments
in
planning
that
has
been
going
on
for
a
long
time.
A
couple
of
the
best
examples
of
that,
I
think,
are
the
the
major
investments
in
stormwater
the
size
of
that
stormwater
bond
is
enormous.
The
work
around
stormwater
investments
have
been
incredibly
significant.
A
You
know
there
are
also
it's
not
just
about
responding
to
climate
change.
It's
about
doing
our
part
to
try
to
mitigate
against
it
to
try
to
lower
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
As
mr
defranti
and
mr
karantonis
talked
about
in
guidance
to
introduce
more
electric
vehicle
charging
infrastructure
and
renewable
energy
assessments,
we
have
new
installations
of
photovoltaic
panels
and
others
to
help
reduce
the
county's
carbon
footprint.
A
A
Whether
that's
investments
in
changing
office
needs
in
a
more
mobile
workforce,
because
we,
like
other
employers,
have
learned
about
the
demand
for
working
from
home
and
the
ability
to
provide
a
high
level
of
service
working
remotely,
whether
that's
about
what
we've
learned
in
terms
of
our
emergency
infrastructure,
the
need
to
start
planning
for
a
new
fire
station
on
the
west,
end
of
columbia,
pike
or
whether
that's
about
how
people
learned
that
they
wanted
to
recreate
differently
with
pickleball
courts.
We
are
making
investments
in
all
of
those
lessons
learned
from
the
pandemic.
A
There
are
strong
investments
here
in
a
state
of
good
repair,
which,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
is
something
so
important
for
us
to
deliver
on.
People
expect
that
they
should
be
able
to
walk
down
our
sidewalks
in
a
manner
that
is
safe
and
accessible.
They
expect
that
they
should
be
able
to
go
into
buildings
that
are
heated
and
cooled
in
predictable
ways
and
that
they
expect
the
county
essentially
to
work
for
them
and
so
to
be
able
to
continue
to
make
those
investments
in
that
state
of
good
repair
matters.
A
A
Our
three
years
of
halfway
cips
are
some
major
investments
in
transit
and
multiple
modalities,
whether
that
is
the
army
navy
country
club
trail
like
we
talked
about
the
vision,
zero
street
safety
improvements,
constructions
of
new
entrances
to
metro
rail
stations
and
investments
in
the
transitway
extension
to
pentagon
city,
even
metro
frustrated
that
we
have
sometimes
been
with
wamata's
a
slow
recovery.
I'll
note
we
just
got
some
data
the
other
day
suggesting
ridership
recovery
is
actually
better
than
expected
over
the
recent
months,
and
we
are
really.
A
We
know
that
our
future,
certainly
a
sustainable
future,
doesn't
exist
without
metro
and
so
to
be
able
to
make
those
continued
investments,
I
think,
are
important
too
one
of
the
things.
A
The
other
thing
to
point
out,
too,
is
that
I
am
so
excited
about
arlington
public
schools,
cip
this
year,
because
it
is
this
last
major
project
as
part
of
an
almost
a
decade
of
extraordinary
building
and
building
capacity,
and
then
their
cip
starts
to
turn
to
focus
to
upgrading
our
existing
buildings
needed
investments
around
the
county
to
be
able
to
get
out
of
that
kind
of
shock
of
student
growth,
and
I
think
that's
no
accident.
A
A
There
are
a
lot
of
things
we're
trying
to
convey
with
each
line
in
the
cip
and
staff's
effort
to
create
that
new,
interactive
map,
sortable
ways
by
priority
and
other
other
novel
innovations
for
how
people
can
learn
about
the
kind
of
capital
investment
we
are
discussing
really
was
encouraging
to
me.
So
thank
you
especially
to
dmf
for
for
answering
the
call
with
that.
I
believe
we
are
ready
for
a
vote
unless
there
are
any
further
comments.
Mr
dorsey's
motion
is
on
the
floor.
A
Will
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye
aye,
any
opposed
all
right
that
cip
passes
unanimously
a
thank
you
again
to
dmf,
but
in
order
to
effectuate
the
cip,
we
need
the
support
of
the
voters
of
arlington.
So
we
also
are
going
to
consider
for
a
moment
the
bond
language
again
presented
in
full
on
thursday
available
as
part
of
the
board
report.
A
I
will
not
be
belaboring
that
by
reading
it
again
but
again,
this
is
a
preview
of
the
bond
referenda,
language,
both
what
will
be
literally
on
the
ballot
and
then
the
accompanying
descriptions
across
those
referenda,
which
are
the
questions,
are
essentially
about
investing
in
metro,
transportation
parks
and
recreation,
community
infrastructure,
aps
stormwater
and
utilities.
D
I
am
thank
you,
and
so
this
is
for
item
40
b,
part
b,
and
I
would
like
to
move
that
we
adopt
the
resolutions
in
attachment.
A
of
the
board
report
dated
july
13
as
summarized
and
the
explanation
of
the
referendum.
Questions
to
appear
in
publications
at
voter
registration
sites
and
polling
places
is
detailed
in
attachment
b
of
the
same
board
report
in
order
to
initiate
and
facilitate
the
november
8
2022
bond
referenda,
and
I
guess
I'll
read
through
them
real
quickly
sure
so
for
me.
D
Hopefully
I'll
get
the
numbers
right
there:
big
metro
and
transportation,
52
million
630
000
for
local
parks
and
recreation,
22
million
460
000
for
community
infrastructure,
53
million
300
000
for
arlington
public
schools,
165
million
10
000
for
stormwater
improvements,
39
million
760
000
and
for
utilities,
177
million
360
000
for
a
grand
total
of
510
million
520
000,
all
very
important.
D
I
guess
I
shouldn't
editorialize,
while
I'm
making
the
motion
but
all
very
important
items
for
this
referenda,
and
I
also
would
like
to
further
request
that
the
electoral
board
lists
the
referendum
on
the
ballot
in
the
order
detailed
in
the
report.
As
shown
on
the
ballot
layout
in
section
on
page
two
of
that
board
report
dated
july
13
and
finally,
that
we
direct
the
county
manager
to
take
all
steps
necessary
to
ensure
that
the
information
provided
to
voters
by
the
county
is
printed
in
english,
spanish,
america
and
arabic.
D
I
think
that
you
know
we're
going
to
go
to
the
voters.
I
I
hope
that
they
approve
this.
As
we've
been
saying,
a
lot
of
work
has
gone
into
it,
but
we
do
have
to
ask
permission
of
the
voters
and
I
think
we
are
making
some
very
important
investments
here.
That
will
be
very
good
for
the
future
of
this
county.
Thank
you.
E
You,
madam
chair,
our
community,
has
a
long
history
of
overwhelmingly
supporting
the
investments
that
are
necessary
to
make
our
community
stronger
and
to
really
actualize
the
process
that
we
have
of
extensive
community
engagement
in
developing
these
plans.
I
recognize
that
as
time
moves
on,
there
is
a
general.
E
A
shift
in
terror
and
tone
is
in
people's
faith
and
trust
in
institutions
like
government,
but
I
hope
that
we
see
the
spirit
of
arlington
actually
continue
with
these
referenda
for
people
to
look
at
them
for
what
they
will
do
to
make
our
community
better
and
to
support
them
in
the
manner
and
at
the
extent
that
we
have
long
done
so
in
arlington,
because
these
are
absolutely
solid,
prudent,
tested
investments
that
will
no
doubt
realize
their
their
vision
and
promise.
A
Well
put
thank
you.
We
do
hope
the
campaign
community
will
join
us
in
supporting
and
investing
in
our
future
here
in
arlington
all
right.
Unless
there
is
any
further
discussion,
I
believe
we're
ready
for
a
vote
on
that
motion
will
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye
and
you
always
all
right
that
too
carries
unanimously.
A
A
Glad
to
have
you
with
us
tonight
all
right,
notably
the
board,
held
a
public
hearing
on
this
item
in
june.
At
this
point,
the
conversation
is
now
with
the
county
board.
We
have
no
staff
presentation,
but
I
know
our
colleague
mr
deferenti
and
conversation
or
in
collaboration.
Mr
dorsey
has
been
working
particularly
hard
on
this,
so
I'm
going
to
turn
the
floor
over
to
you
to
to
talk
to
us
about
how
this
policy
has
developed
and
been
iterated
upon,
since
we
last
met
last
month
to
discuss
it.
C
We
have
a
presentation
and
we
have
started
on
a
process.
This
first
slide
describes
a
framework
that
we
originally
had
and
the
second
slide,
if
you
can
go
to
that,
describes
how,
in
september
of
2021,
we
unveiled
a
framework
that
is
the
start,
was
the
start
of
a
conversation
with
our
community
and
solicited
community
input
designed
to
reaffirm
the
county's
commitment
to
strengthening
trust
and
protecting
our
immigrant
community.
C
C
That
talked
about
what
we
learned
from
those
conversations
we
worked
on
our
policy.
I
worked
with
mr
dorsey
and
and
also
several
colleagues
on
an
updated
draft
trust
policy
at
a
public
hearing
in
june,
which
is
last
month
and
now
here
we
are
this
month
after
taking
many
suggestions
and
incorporating
them
into
a
revised
policy
that
we'll
share
today.
C
C
These
are
a
rough
summary
of
what
we
heard
I'll
start
on
the
right
or,
if
you're
looking
at,
maybe
your
left,
but
it
what
it
means
to
feel
safe
in
arlington
concerns
about
being
deported.
Fear
of
the
police.
C
C
C
We
have.
This
is
a
summary
of
of
our
trust
policy.
We
there
are
many
provisions
of
it
that
are
significant
improvements
from
what
we
have
been
doing,
even
though
this
board
in
2007
2011
and
most
powerfully
for
me
in
2017.
C
There's
a
prohibition
on
using
county
resources
for
civil
immigration
enforcement,
prohibition
on
facilitation
of
such
enforcement.
C
C
We
added
between
june
and
july
of
this
month
we
added
an
entire
section.
This
was
a
suggestion
that
came
up
in
june
and
that
has
come
up
since
in
conversations
with
advocates,
and
so
we
added
this
section,
which
is
about
compliance
and
accountability.
C
This
is
a
section
that
is
something
that
is,
we
have
crafted
for
arlington,
but
it
took
into
account
the
recommendations
and
thoughts
of
other
communities
that
have
also
tried
to
really
make
clear.
We
must
be
a
welcoming
place
in
northern
virginia
and
in
our
country,
but
certainly
also
the
region.
C
We
also
had
some
other
information
that
we
we
got.
I
will
note
that
the
there
were
significant
changes
that
came
to
our
police's
directive,
which
is
523.04,
and
so
those
were
improvements,
and
we
continued
to
do
those
even
some
suggestions
to
to
really
focus
our
work
on
safety
and
not
on
immigration
enforcement,
so
that
is
covered
in
that
last
box
over
there.
So
now
we'll
go
to
the
next
steps
and
we
have
we
will
just.
C
There
are
a
couple
of
changes:
small,
very
small
changes,
but
the
june
board
meeting
of
2022.
We
talked
about
over
the
last
month,
plus
we've
engaged
with
with
stakeholders
and
advocates
and
leaders
taking
many
of
their
suggestions,
not
everyone,
and
today
we're
at
our
anticipated
vote.
I
will
say,
as
is
already
clear,
our
work
is
not
done,
we'll
continue
that
work
and
we
will
continue
to
work
with
all
those
in
our
community
and
those
with
with
thoughtful
dialogue
on
next
steps.
C
So
with
that,
I
think
the
next
thing
we
should
do
is
just
show
we
have
a
few
very
small
changes
from
what
was
posted,
so
I
want
to
give
our
clerk
just
a
minute
to
to
to
to
pull
up
that
document
and
I'll
just
describe
those
changes
since,
for
over
the
last
week,
we've
made
some
additional
changes.
C
Our
police
chief
flatly
said
he
is
he's
put
into
policy,
and
this
was
his
suggestion
to
not
ask
not
allow
officers
to
ask
immigration
status,
which
is
a
significant
step
forward.
So
this
is
the
purpose
it
tracks.
It
is
updated.
The
second
paragraph
is
updated.
We
had
some
discussion
last
month
about
updating
this
paragraph
to
have
language
that
was
more
aware
of
the
work
we
still
need
to
do,
even
as
we
are
proud
of
what
we
have
done.
C
C
C
C
This
is
additional
reflecting
federal
and
state
law
which
we
have
to
follow,
and
then
this
number
five
is
is
seeking
to
really
narrow
and
make
clear
what
we're
doing
with
respect
to
identification.
C
The
last
sentence
reflects
the
change
we
made
in
the
la
in
the
law
over
a
year
ago
to
over
the
last
year
to
make
that
not
a
criminal
offense.
That
is
a
local
option.
We
removed
six
and
seven
this
next
section.
We
made
a
change
to
to
part
to
seven
and
that
I
would
note
either
the
on
duty,
the
last
line
here
that
says
after
5
23,
after
receiving
the
approval
of
either
the
on-duty
watch
commander
or
any
supervisor,
with
the
rank
of
lieutenant
or
above
that's
it.
C
C
Just
for
colleagues,
the
language
that
is
struck
in
b
is
struck
because
in
the
above
just
before
the
colon,
where
it
reads
the
approval
that
line
applies
to
every
one
of
these
circumstances,
so
we
didn't
want
to
be
redundant
and
we
wanted
to
be
clear,
and
so
that's
why
that
was
changed
in
b
and
c,
and
the
next
sections
d
and
e
are
also
that
you
have
to
ask
someone
who
is
lieutenant
or
above
in
order
to
get
approval.
C
So
that's
section,
seven
section
eight
is
requires
that
when
officers
do
they
have
to
document
that
they
did,
and
that
is
a
process.
That
is
an
improvement
as
well.
So
I
think
that
covers
most
of
it
c
just
is
prohibits
the
use
of
of
county
resources
for
for
enforcement
of
civil
immigration
law,
these
threats
and
can-
and
we
covered
this
a
little
bit
in
the
powerpoint
it
keeps
scrolling
down.
C
I
think
this
is
also
pieces
that
in
many
ways
track
what
we've
seen
in
other
communities,
and
I
describe
these
in
the
powerpoint.
I
won't
belabor
it.
I
think
public
services.
We
had
some
discussion
of
that
today.
We
want
to
make
available
resources
for
public
services
and
eviction.
Prevention
is
something
that
we've
worked
on
and
our
staff
did
has
done
some
good
work
at
columbia,
gardens
and
we
have
much
more
work
to
do,
but
we're
committed
to
doing
it.
C
This
last
section
was
at
the
request
of
advocates
last
month
in
the
meetings
and
and
follow-up
dialogue
as
well.
This
is
regarding
it
just
it
puts
the
county
board's
role
with
the
county,
manager's
lead,
but
the
county
board's
role
in
making
sure
that
this
these
policies
are
applied
fairly
and
uniformly.
So
there's
a
couple
of
other
sections,
I
do
want
to
highlight
one
or
two
of
these
overseeing
this.
Last
year,
this
body
passed
the
civilian
oversight
board,
the
police
oversight
board
with
subpoena
power,
and
we
are.
C
That
is
a
key
piece
of
if
there
are
concerns
about
this.
That
is
a
key
piece
of
a
way
that
that
you
could
raise
one
any
resident
or
any
anyone
could
could
raise
questions
there.
We,
the
county
manager,
shall
receive
a
report
and
provide
findings
to
the
county
board.
Is
that
second,
the
first
full
paragraph
on
that
page?
We
felt
like
that
was
an
important
step
so
that
we
would
be
continue
to
play
an
appropriate
oversight
role.
C
The
last
sentence
on
this
page
is:
we've
made
some
significant
progress.
We
do
not
have
legal
authority
with
respect
to
the
sheriff,
but
we
do
have.
C
We
have
engaged
with
the
sheriff
and
the
sheriff
has
focused
the
sheriff's
department's
work
to
have
a
stronger
procedures
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
whenever
there's
whenever,
there's
discretion
within
reason,
based
on
this
policy
that
we
we
we
do
are
not
contacting
ice,
so
the
last
sentence
is
is
just
meant
to
clarify
that
the
county
board
has
a
role
that
is
important
and
it
was
made
in
conjunction
with
our
police
chief,
and
it
just
says
that
the
purpose
of
bringing
all
of
this
language
into
this
piece
was
to
give
the
county
board
at
least
a
role
in
an
an
appropriate
role
in
protecting
how
welcoming
we
can
and
should
be
with
respect
to
our
all
of
our
those
who
might
reside
or
visit
arlington.
C
I
will
say
that
I
feel
it's
progress
so
with
that
that's
sort
of
introducing-
and
I
would
I'm
sure
there
will
be
discussion
but
I'll
move
approval
of
the
trust
policy.
A
All
right
that
has
been
moved
and
seconded
any
further
discussion
among
colleagues,
mr
dorsey.
E
Yeah,
if
there's
no
discussion
I'll
just
make
some
quick
concluding
comments
and
thank
mr
d
ferrante
very
much.
He
was
the
principal
mover
of
this
effort
and
I
was
happy
to
assist
when
necessary,
but
really
this
is
something
that
you
ought
to
be
very
proud
of
colleague
and
I'm
proud
to
have
worked
with
you
on
it.
You
know
this
is
where
you
left
it.
This
is
progress,
and
I
want
to
put
that
progress
into
context.
E
It
represents
a
step
toward
our
vision.
The
one
that
I
know
is
universally
and
deeply
shared
by
the
five
of
us
that
we
are
to
be
a
community
whereby
the
governmental
actions
that
can
be
so
impactful
in
people's
lives
do
not
disproportionately
burden
individuals
based
on
their
identities,
based
on
their
social
characteristics
based
on
the
ways
in
which
they've
been
marginalized
by
society.
Already,
it's
a
step
toward
that
vision,
but
in
and
of
itself
it
does
not
achieve
that
vision.
E
This
does
not
transform
arlington
overnight,
but
I
have
come
to
appreciate
and
understand,
based
on
the
advocacy
of
many
in
our
community,
some
of
whom
are
in
this
room
that
it's
a
necessary
step,
a
vital
prerequisite,
because
there
are
people
in
our
community
who
do
not
have
the
luxury
of
trusting
and
having
faith.
That
government
is
not
going
to
work
against
them,
because
the
consequences
can
be
severe
if
that
trust
ends
up
being
misplaced
and
they
can
face
consequences
that
are
devastating
to
breaking
up
families,
disrupting
individual
lives
causing
great
harm.
E
They
also
don't
have
the
luxury
of
trusting
and
then
verifying
later
because
of
those
incredibly
consequential
stakes.
They
absolutely
have
to
have
that
those
assurances
and
verification
up
front-
and
it
has
to
be
clear
and
unambiguous-
and
one
of
the
things
that
was
a
failing
of
arlington
county
before-
was
that,
while
many
of
the
things
that
we
have
consolidated
and
codified
here
in
this
policy
were
our
standard
operating
procedures,
we
weren't
very
transparent
about
it.
We
didn't
affirmatively
sort
of
lean
in
and
share
out
that
this
was
what
we're
all
about.
E
This
is
why
we're
all
about
it-
and
this
is
what
it
means
for
you,
and
that
was
something
that
makes
this
a
very
important
piece
of
progress
to
a
put
it
in
one
place,
to
try
and
be
put
into
context
and
to
to
help
community
members,
for
whom
trust
must
be
earned
through
repeatedly
doing
the
same
thing.
Over
and
over
again,
this
gives
them
a
guide
that
they
can
hold
on
to
to
hold
us
accountable.
E
One
to
very
explicitly
state
that
immigration
status,
one's
immigration
status
is
really
an
essential
key
piece
of
personally
identifiable
information
that
we
are
going
to
protect
at
all
costs,
and
even
if
you
do
not
want
to
trust
that
that
will
happen,
you
should
trust
that
you
don't
have
to
disclose
it
to
anyone,
even
if
they
have
a
badge
and
have
a
gun.
E
First
of
all,
if
you
are
someone
who
needs
police
services
you're
a
victim
of
a
crime,
you
are
responsible
for
a
minor
child
who's,
had
a
crime
committed
against
them.
If
you
need
the
police
for
any
reason
whatsoever,
you
should
feel
free
to
do
so
without
regard
to
your
immigration
status,
which
again
is
protected
and
never
has
to
be
disclosed,
but
two
in
the
event
that
that
contact
is
not
consensual,
with
police,
there's
also
value
in
making
sure
that
people
clearly
know
what
can
and
cannot
happen
now.
E
This
is
clearly
an
area
of
disagreement
with
some
in
our
community,
and
I
probably
suspect
that
we
will
continue
to
have
those
conversations
in
the
months
and
years
ahead,
but,
to
put
it
into
context,
everything
that
is
listed
in
section
two
b,
7
as
it
relates
to
the
ways
in
which
law
enforcement
or
arlington
county
police
may
initiate
contact
with
immigrations
and
custom
enforcement.
Once
you
read
through
all
of
the
language,
I
want
you
to
take
a
step
back
and
analogize.
E
E
It's
a
similar
process.
Now,
whether
or
not
you
agree
that
I
should
you
agree,
or
you
think
that
I
should
be
treated
differently,
I'm
not
going
to
argue
that
point
right
here,
but
I
want
to
make
very
clear
what
is
being
proposed
here
is
not
a
special
case
for
people
who
are
immigrants.
It's
not
a
case
of
good
immigrant,
bad
immigrant.
It's
the
way
people
who
are
subject
to
arrest
are
treated
regardless
of
their
status
and
regardless
of
what
the
other
law
enforcement
agency
involved
is.
E
Another
important
thing
that
I
think
is
important
about
this
policy
is
that
it
very
clearly
puts
limits
on
the
ways
in
which
people
who
don't
have
legal
presence
in
the
united
states.
E
E
One
of
the
things
that
we've
been
lacking
is
clear
data
and
insight
and
windows
into
describing
each
scenario
that
we
may
hear
of
anecdotally.
That
will
no
longer
be
a
limitation
and
secondarily,
in
the
event,
that
the
way
in
which
we've
crafted
this
policy
is
not
working
in
the
way
in
which
we
intend.
E
This
record
will
allow
us
the
board
to
audit
that
activity
to
competently
decide
whether
adjustments
or
changes
are
made.
So
with
that,
I
have
rarely
ever
seen,
policies
that
result
in
universal
appeal.
There
are
always
people
who
find
great
dissatisfaction
with
the
outcome,
and
this
appears
to
be
one
of
those
cases
as
well,
but
I
do
believe,
like
mr
d
ferrante,
it
represents
progress
but
meaningful
progress
towards
the
ultimate
goal
that
I
feel
just
as
strongly
about
today
is
when
I
was
elected.
D
Yeah,
just
some
concluding
first
major,
thank
you
to
mr
d
ferrante
and
mr
dorsey,
who
have
really
done
yeoman's,
work
and
great
work
on
this
and
for
your
remarks
and
explaining
it
tonight.
Thank
you
to
the
staff
who's
worked
on
it
and
actually
all
of
our
there's
so
many
residents
that
have
had
an
input
into
this.
It's
been
a
long
effort.
I
think
it
is
progress,
not
perfect.
Nothing
is
and
I'll
just
simply
make
sort
of
emphasize
one
point
for
me.
D
You
know
as
hard
as
you
work
to
get
something
perfect
in
writing
and
it's
important
to
have
these
structures,
and
this
is
a
great
improvement.
It's
always
about
the
people
who
actually
have
to
make
it
happen,
and
I
think
that
is
where
our
community
oversight
board
comes,
because
should
there
be
failures
or
things
not
working
the
way
they
should
be
or
people
think
they
should.
D
There
is
an
appeal
process
that
everyone
can
use
and
I
think
that
will
help
add
to
our
accountability
and
making
sure
that
the
county
and
our
government
treats
everyone
fairly
and
justly,
and
everyone
feels
comfortable
here.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
Thank
you
ma'am
chair
and
the
big
big
recognition,
and
thank
you
to
mr
ferrand
and
mr
dorsey,
who
have
been
working
that
I
I
I
couldn't
agree
more
with
miss
garvey
on
this
that
this
was
yemen's
work.
B
Indeed,
because
as
much
as
I
agree
that
the
majority
of
you
know,
the
the
provisors
of
these
policies
have
been
in
practice,
one
way
or
the
other
to
organize
them,
to
present
them,
to
make
them
transparent
and
to
add
to
them
layers
of
accountability
and
reporting
that
that's
novel
and
I
believe
this
alone
is
process
progress,
significant
progress,
as
mr
dorsey
said.
Definitely,
trust
is
not
gained
over
overnight.
B
Trust
is
not
built
overnight,
especially
social
trust.
Community
trust
trust
must
be.
B
You
know,
based
and
created
and
constructed
on
the
ways
arlington
county
works
on
the
way
other
ways
our
police
department
works
on
the
ways
they
interact
with
our
community
and
vice
versa.
The
community
interacts
with
them.
So
I
I
do
believe
that
a
lot
of
work
needs
to
be
done
still,
and
I
do
see
that
the
whole
effort
to
have
this
trust
trust
policy
has
already
changed
a
lot.
B
The
way
that
some
of
our
officers,
also
some
of
our
administrative
employees,
are
more
sensible,
more
sensitized
since
sensible
on
on
the
way
they
approach
residents
who
do
have,
who
are
not
completely
documented,
who
lack
this
significant,
who
have
the
immigration
status
that
we
have
discussed
today?
How
burdensome
this
is
in
all
all
all
ways
of
their
lives,
how
how
they
they
they
face.
They
face
daily
exclusion
from
so
many
aspects
they
would
otherwise
be
entitled
to
and
would
have
access
to.
B
Part
of
the
policy
for
me
reporting
on
the
policy
reporting
on
how
we
do
reporting
on
how
we
comply
and
asking
our
community
to
provide
us
with
a
continuous
stream
of
feedback
on
that
is
absolutely
critical.
Let's,
let's
remember
for
a
moment
what
times
we're
living
and
where
are
we
coming
from
and
what
actually
creates
this
sense
of
fear
on
the
street.
B
It
is,
it
was
the
federal
government
of
our
country
that
incarcerated
wrongfully
incarcerated
people,
caged
people
separated
families
that
the
that
things
have
have
happened
in
the
last
few
years,
not
only
the
last
few
years,
but
specifically
in
the
last
few
years
that
have
been
outrageously
in
unimaginable
before
and
you
know,
as
as
better
things
were
in
arlington
county
as
a
better
community.
We
have
been
this
rubs
off
and
and
immigrants
in
arlington
have
significant
concerns
and
will
continue
to
be
very
skeptical
about
anything
that
is
related
with
government
action.
B
Every
uniform
will
be.
You
know
there
will
be
always
a
question
mark
behind
that
there
will
be
always
a
a
doubt
and
there
will
be
always
a
residual
fear.
We
did
two
things.
First
of
all,
adding
the
accountability
and
compliance
layer
and
also
offering
the
community
oversight
board
as
a
as
a
place
where
not
only
specific
concerns,
but
also
generic
policy
implementation
concerns.
B
Practical
practical
concerns
can
be
brought
up
even
in
an
anonymous
way,
so
I
I
think
that
this
is
a
huge,
strict
step
forward,
and
I
again
thank
mr
referenti,
mr
dorsey,
for
having
worked
so
diligently
about
that.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
mr
carontonis
I'll,
be
brief,
and
I
think
mr
dorsey's
comments
in
particular
really
summed
up
well
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
after
mr
defranti
took
care
to
walk
us
through
it.
A
I
want
to
join
my
colleagues
in
really
thanking
you,
especially
mr
differenti.
This
started
over
a
year
ago
right
when
you
were
chair
and
I
that
time
has
been
spent
not
in
delay,
but
in
listening
and
iterating,
and
really
above
all,
ensuring
that
in
passing
a
trust
policy,
we
weren't
just
making
empty
promises
or
pronouncements
that
didn't,
have
roots
and
didn't
have
a
plan
to
really
reach
into
the
enterprise.
A
To
create
that
predictability
and
transparency,
I
wanted
to
share
my
thanks
to
you
know
a
group
of
individuals,
largely
from
from
ashva,
whom
I
know,
we've
all
had
the
opportunity
to
talk
with
mr
diferanti
going
back
over
a
year
at
this
point,
but
I
think
all
of
us
in
the
in
the
final
days
and
weeks
here
for
just
getting
so
deeply
into
the
into
the
details
with
us.
You
know
these
are
just
going
to
say
people,
but
I
think
we
can
say
women
right.
A
I
know
this
is
a
better
policy
for
having
had
their
their
fingerprints
on
it
alongside
yours
really
appreciate
your
leadership
on
it.
Mr
dorsey,
yours
as
well,
and
I
am
grateful
to
the
county
manager
as
well
as
our
teams
in
public
safety,
as
well
as
in
human
services
and
in
community,
engage
community
engagement
and
communications
and
public
engagement
late
night
for
helping
formulate
so
many
opportunities
for
the
community
to
weigh
in
here
as
well.
If
you
have
any
closing
thoughts,
mr
defranco,
I
think
I
cut
you
off
there.
C
I
think
you've
all
said
it
well
and
I
tried
to
describe
it
in
my
initial
piece
of
the
on
the
on
the
proposal.
Thank
you.
A
Great,
thank
you
so
much
with
that
all
being
said,
then,
the
motion
is
before
us
all,
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed
great
that
carries
unanimously.
Madam
clerk,
could
you
move
to
the
next
item?
42.
A
Thanks
clark,
shirlington
multi-family
housing
and
mr
manager,
my
understanding
is
this
item.
We
are
continuing
with
tonight
and
we
have
mr
freeze
to
talk
to
us
about,
but
there
was
one
other
related
item
that
we
will
move
to
september.
Is
that
right.
F
M
Sure
good
evening,
that's
it
jason,
freeze,
department
of
management,
finance
and
mr
schwartz
is
correct.
This
is
actually
more
of
a
procedural
process
right
here,
not
as
related
to
the
other.
That's
coming
in
september
background
is,
you
all
have
actually
considered.
This
is
a
request
for
bond
financing
from
the
standard
properties
for
for
the
park
shirlington
project
at
your
july,
14,
2021
meeting
you
actually
considered
this
and
approved
it
the
project
it
was
a
little
bit
delayed.
M
There
were
some
changes
to
the
scope
that
you
all
are
aware
of,
and
so
they
weren't
able
to
get
bond
funding
or
volume
allocation.
Last
year
there
is
a
waiting
period.
They
can't
actually
apply
for
amounts
over
20
million
until
june
of
every
calendar
year,
so
it
got
delayed
until
just
now.
Well
the
documents
that
you
approved
last
year
only
last
for
12
months,
there's
a
tougher
hearing
and
some
other
requirements.
So
even
though
you
approved
it
last
july,
14th
july
14th
of
this
year
that
expired.
M
So
this
is
a
request
to
reauthorize
the
issuance
so
that
they
can
go
apply
for
those
that
the
allocation
of
bond
volume
capital
share
and
get
the
bonds
and
then
close,
hopefully
later
this
year,
and
so
that's
all
that
this
is
right
here.
There's
no
change
to
the
amount
they're
requesting
in
bonds.
On
this
side.
You
know,
as
mr
schwartz
said,
the
ahaf
and
other
pieces
will
be
coming
in
september,
which
is
separate
from
this.
A
Fantastic,
okay,
the
conversation
then
moves
to
the
board.
I
don't
believe
we
have
any
public
comment
on
this
item.
Is
there
any
discussion
about
this
all
right
cena?
Would
you
like
to
make
a
motion?
Mr
friend.
C
Sure
I'll
be
happy
to
move
the
county
manager's
recommendation
that
we
approved
the
resolution
attached.
The
staff
report
authorizing
the
arlington
county
industrial
development
authority
to
issue
for
the
benefit
of
standard
property
company
incorporated
up
to
80
million
in
tax-exempt
revenue,
bonds
for
the
financing
and
refinancing
of
certain
costs
of
acquisition,
construction
rehabilitation
and
equipping
of
a
multi-family
residential
rental
housing
facility,
known
known
as
park.
Shirlington.
A
Terrific
is
there
any
discussion
all
right,
seeing
none.
The
motion
is
on
the
floor.
All
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed
all
right
that
carries
unanimously.
Mr
freeze,
thank
you
again.
We
have
a
few
additional
items
to
come
before
the
board
tonight.
One
is
a
a
set
of
mid-year
contract
amendments
for
our
direct
report,
specifically
the
county
manager
and
the
county
clerk
contract
renewals
and
remain
amendments.
A
I
am
myself
going
to
make
a
motion,
which
is
that
we,
as
the
county
board,
approve
and
authorize
me
as
chair
to
sign
a
seventh
amendment
to
the
agreement
with
the
county
manager
mark
schwartz
and
a
fifth
amendment
to
our
agreement
with
the
county
clerk
kendra
jacobs,
consistent
with
the
reports
and
contract
updates
posted
on
our
website.
A
All
right
is
there
any
further
discussion
I'll
take
the
opportunity
to
say
how
much
we
appreciate
the
service
of
these
two
individuals,
as
well
as
all
of
our
direct
reports,
and
are
pleased
to
be
able
to
vote
on
these
updates
today,
all
right,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye,
aye
aye,
any
opposed
all
right.
Those
two
carry
unanimously.
A
We
heard
earlier
tonight
an
appeal
from
mcdonald
landscaping
and
their
attorney.
We
appreciate
they're
coming
in
the
the
briefing
that
we
received
from
them
after
further
consideration,
I'm
going
to
move
that
the
county
board
does
deny
the
entirety
of
the
mcdonald
landscape,
inc
appeal
to
the
county
board
regarding
contract
19-159-I-t-b.
A
Nearly
unanimously
seconded
we'll
give
it
to
mr
dorsey
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay
that
carries
unanimously.
One
final
item
related
to
another.
From
close
session,
I
moved
to
authorize
the
county
attorney
to
opt
out
of
a
class
action
and
settlement
between
monsanto
company
and
certain
localities,
including
arlington
county
in
case
number,
216cv03493.
A
Pending
in
the
u.s
district
court
for
the
central
district
of
california
and
to
authorize
the
county
attorney
and
the
county
board
chair
to
execute
any
documents
necessary
to
effectuate
such
an
action,
all
right
that's
been
moved
and
seconded
all
those
in
favor.
Please
say:
aye
aye
aye
any
opposed
that
carries
unanimously.
Madam
clerk,
do
we
have
any
other
business
to
come
before
the
board?
No,
we
do
not.
I
am
delighted
to
share
that
because
we
do
not
meet
for
a
regular
board
meeting
in
august.
We
will
see
everyone
again
in
september.
We
are
adjourned.
