A
A
A
A
Afternoon,
everyone
and
welcome
to
the
June
13
2023
County
board
meeting.
This
is
board
chair,
Christian,
Dorsey
I'll
be
presiding.
Today,
along
with
my
colleagues
Vice
chair,
Garvey
and
members,
Crystal
defranti
and
Karen
tonis.
We
will
begin
our
recess
meeting
with
some
recognitions
and
reports
from
both
board
members
in
the
manager
and
to
kick
us
off.
Mr
Schwartz
I
believe
you
have
an
employee
cares,
Spotlight
I.
B
Do
thank
you.
Mr
chair
members
of
the
board.
As
you
may
know,
DHS
is
aging
and
disability.
Resource
Center
adrc
rolls
right
off.
The
tongue
is
the
front
door
to
a
wide
range
of
services
for
older
adults,
persons
with
disabilities
and
their
caretakers.
What
among
the
things
they
do,
is
they
prevent
evictions?
They
refer
older
adults
experiencing
homelessness
to
a
shelter
and
they
promote
Independence
to
help
people
age
in
place.
Other
services
include
addressing
food
insecurity,
risk
screenings
to
help
make
referrals
on
food
to
our
meals
and
wheels
program.
B
They
provide
short-term
Case
Management
Services.
They
compete.
They
complete
referrals
to
our
community
living
program
for
in-home
services
and
they
connect
clients
to
the
older
Americans
Act,
so
Anthony,
glaze
Anthony,
raise
your
hand.
There
you
are
is
a
vital
member
of
that
team.
So
let
me
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
him.
He
recently
helped
an
older
adult
who
lost
her
husband
and
was
experiencing
severe
grief
that
greatly
compromised
her
decision-making
abilities
that
eventually
resulted
in
her
facing
eviction
due
to
significant
rental
arrears.
B
So
after
repeated
attempts
to
engage
her
by
other
staff
and
Community
Partners,
we
called
in
the
closer
Mr
glaze.
It
was
assigned
and
used
his
compassion,
incredible
problem,
solving
skills
to
completely
turn
her
situation
around.
He
helped
organize
the
retrieval
of
her
husband's
death
certificate
so
that
she
could
pay
for
the
funeral
and
the
dresser
financial
situation.
B
He
helped
to
Advocate
and
negotiate
with
her
landlord
pay
off
the
arrears
and
stop
the
eviction
and
he
assisted
her
in
relocating
to
new
residents
that
accepts
housing
grants
while
remaining
in
the
same
neighborhood,
so
that
she
did
not
lose
her
Support
Network.
His
dedication
resolve
and
compassion
helped
to
turn
a
crisis
into
an
opportunity.
He
helped
this
older
adult,
navigate
the
various
systems,
while
also
adapting
to
the
loss
of
her
spouse
and
without
Anthony's
advocacy
and
support.
B
She
would
not
have
had
the
successful
outcome
that
was
achieved
and
this
by
the
way
is
not
just
a
one-off
situation.
He's
been
doing
this
since
2005
with
the
Department
of
Human
Services
and
he's
always
ready
to
go
that
extra
yard,
that
extra
mile
that
extra
kilometer
whatever
is
required
so
Anthony
or
Tony
glaze.
Why
don't
you
come
on
up
so
we
can
recognize
you.
A
A
Off
camera,
but
Anthony
referenced
one
of
the
most
famous
retirement
speeches
of
all
time,
that
of
Lou
Gehrig.
This
doesn't
mean
you're
retiring
right.
Okay,
let's
make
sure
well
typically,
thank
you
for
that
Mr
Schwartz.
We
we
often
as
part
of
these
spotlights
get
a
chance
to
hear
of
heroic
acts,
and
you
know
sometimes
we
think
about
saving
lives
as
the
purview
of
our
First
Responders.
But
I
have
no
doubt
with
that
story.
A
That
was
just
told
that
you
helped
Save
a
Life
and
not
only
save
it,
but
hopefully
restore
some
dignity
during
a
time
of
immense
loss
and
grief.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
Schwartz.
Do
you
have
anything
else
under
the
spotlight?
Thank
you.
Well,
I'll
I
have
a
few
items
for
my
chairs
report
this
afternoon.
Colleagues,
first,
it's
just
a
report
on
yesterday,
Miss
Crystal
and
I
attended
the
ribbon
cutting
for
the
new
outpatient
Pavilion
at
Virginia.
A
Hospital
Center
you'll
recall
that
this
percolated
in
our
community,
in
2018,
with
an
entitlement
by
this
board
of
their
project,
which
was
on
the
grounds
of
an
executed
land
swap
land
with
Arlington
County
and
the
Pavilion,
was,
has
been
recently
completed
and
opened
its
doors
yesterday.
This
is
a
significant
expansion
of
the
hospital's
footprint,
250
000
square
feet
and
a
quarter
of
million
dollars
in
investment
quarter
of
a
billion
dollars.
Excuse
me
in
investment
and
as
a
land
development
project.
It's
certainly
gone
through
its
issues.
A
So
for
one
we
have
an
advanced
level
of
care
and
purposeful
purposely
built
space
on
the
hospital,
and
so
as
we
think
about
the
advancements
in
medical
technology
and
Service
delivery
that
they
can
deliver
that
in
new
purpose-built
space
is
excellent,
and
by
being
able
to
look
at
the
evolution
of
Health
Care
as
one
where
many
services
can
be
delivered
on
an
outpatient
basis,
this
is
going
to
be
a
state-of-the-art
facility.
Locating
those
Services
Under
One
Roof.
A
This
is
going
to
result
in
incredible
efficiency,
for
patients
seeking
care
for
sure,
but
also
hospital
staff
as
well.
It's
going
to
result
in
reduced
trips
by
patients
who
are
going
from
Doctor
to
labs,
to
Pharmacy
and
elsewhere,
reducing
not
only
their
aggravation,
their
frustration
but
also
the
time
that
they
spent
that
is
better
spent
on
their
Wellness.
A
This
and,
as
the
hospital
believes,
it
will
reduce
errors
in
delivering
Care
by
having
Everything,
Under,
One
Roof,
so
tremendous
new
assets
and
health
care
services
and
delivery
in
Arlington
County,
and
when
we
think
about
the
facility
itself,
it's
also
designed
in
a
way
that
means
it
is
not
part
of
a
closed
off
campus.
But
open
to
the
community
with
some
open
space
and
avenues
that
hopefully
will
be
welcoming
to
the
nearby
neighbors,
so
Miss,
Crystal
I,
don't
know
if
you
have
any
other
remarks
all
right.
Thank
you.
A
Next
I
would
like
to
offer
a
resolution
for
our
consideration,
and
this
resolution
will
hopefully,
with
your
concurrence,
adopt
a
policy
that
Arlington
County
and
the
board
will
have
specifically
as
it
relates
to
some
attempts
to
change
the
perimeter
Rule
and
expand
slots
at
Reagan,
National
Airport
in
Arlington
County,
and
so
let
me
go
ahead
and
frame
this
a
bit
before
I
go
through
the
resolution
that
is
projected
on
the
screen.
A
Currently,
the
FAA
Federal
Aviation
Administration
authorization
is
up
for
Renewal
and
there's
also
Standalone
legislation
that
would
expand
slots
and
alter
the
perimeter
rule
governing
operations
at
DCA.
Now
this
is
a
recurring
issue.
We've
seen
it
a
lot
over
the
years
and
to
to
be
frank,
there's
a
a
significant
degree
of
Craven
parochialism
at
play.
A
Congress
has
exercised
this
authority
to
expand
non-stop
access
to
DCA
from
members
of
Congress
home
airports
several
times
in
the
past,
and
the
current
Standalone
legislation
is
being
sponsored
on
a
bipartisan
basis
by
two
representatives
from
the
wonderful
state
of
Georgia.
A
That
also
happens
to
be
home
to
the
hub
of
one
of
major
airlines
Delta,
which
is
fiercely
advocating
for
changes
to
the
perimeter
rule
because
they
would
benefit
substantially,
but
this
is
of
great
consequence
to
us,
and
it
is
my
opinion
that
our
voice
needs
to
be
clear
and
present
in
the
public
policy
process.
On
these
proposed
changes.
A
Dca
was
designed
to
provide
access
to
DC
to
the
east
coast
and
the
Midwest
as
part
of
a
network
that
works
along
with
Dulles
Airport,
which
is
designed
to
serve
across
country
as
well
as
international
flights
and
dca's
size
constraints.
Its
presence
proximate
to
restricted
airspace,
as
well
as
its
location
amid
dense
residential
areas,
has
always
required
that
it
being
actively
managed
airport
and
that
its
operations
be
controlled
to
mitigate
these
realities.
As
such,
we
do
have
limitations
on
the
number
of
slots,
takeoffs
and
landings
that
can
occur
per
day.
A
The
hours
of
operations
and
the
1250
mile
perimeter
rule
efforts
to
abolish
or
loosen
the
perimeter
Rule
and
our
ad
slots
at
DCA
will
not
serve
our
public
interests,
notably
DCA
is
already
over
capacity.
There
is
an
FAA
Memo
from
just
a
few
weeks
ago,
which
describes
the
changes
as
having
in
total,
the
result
of
degrading
service
for
consumers
and
also
complicating
and
worsening
operations
for
mwa
the
airport
manager.
A
It
would
also
undermine
Dulles,
which
has
capacity
which
has
capacity
to
grow
and
expand
and
accommodate
more
of
the
kinds
of
flights
that
people
are
seeking
to
shift
to
DCA,
and
it
should
also
be
remembered
that
we
have
contributed
a
lot
financially
through
our
compact,
with
wamada
to
provide
rail
access
to
Dulles,
which
now
provides
a
very
efficient
and
affordable
way
for
people
to
get
to
that
airport
from
throughout
the
region.
And
so
this
would
also
exacerbate
noise
impacts.
A
That
arlingtonians
feel
already
with
larger
aircraft,
doing
these
longer
routes
and
with
more
slots
providing
more
takeoffs
and
landings.
A
A
We
look
forward
to
final
data
when
that
pilot
concludes,
but
in
the
interim
there
are
things
that
we
certainly
know
to
be
true,
and
so,
if
we
can
move
to
the
next
slide
to
refresh
you
on
what
guaranteed
income
is.
This
is
in
all
cases,
even
though
program
design
can
look
very,
very
different
depending
on
who
is
who
is
implementing
the
program.
All
have
these
key
characteristics.
They
are
paid
directly
to
individuals
in
regular
and
reoccurring
increments,
and
those
could
be
monthly.
A
Those
could
be
annual
or
whatever
else
is
appropriate
for
the
circumstances
it's
paid
in
cash
or
cash
equivalents
and
uses
are
not
restricted.
It
can
be
used
by
the
recipient
for
any
need
that
they
have,
and
this
is
distinguished
from
what
became
popular
during
the
presidential
campaign
of
Andrew
yang.
This
is
not
a
universal
basic
income
program
that
is
given
to
everyone.
You
can
Target
guaranteed
income
programs
and
Target.
The
resources
to
people
who
are
most
in
need
next
slide
so
effectively.
A
Speaking
during
the
pandemic
and
economic
economic
uncertainty
that
accompanied
it,
there
were
changes
to
the
way
the
federal
government
dealt
with
the
earned
income
and
child
tax
credits
which
effectively
delivered
guaranteed
income
to
many
Americans,
and
so
the
child
tax
credit
itself
was
certainly
successful
in
reducing
child
poverty
to
record
lows:
the
individual
I'm
sorry,
the
Earned
Income
Tax
Credit
is
you
know
the
nation's
longest
standing
Federal
program
to
keep
significant
numbers
of
Americans
out
of
poverty
during
the
pandemic
when
enhancements
were
made
to
both
of
these,
they
proved
extremely
effective
in
meeting
the
needs
of
the
most
vulnerable
in
navigating
the
risks
and
issues
that
arose
during
covet,
and
both
of
these
tax
credits
are
fully
refundable,
in
which
you
know
it
simply
means
these
are
not
tax
deductions
that
reduce
your
taxable
income.
A
It
would
be
considered
in
the
very
low
category
all
told
each
recipient
group
would
receive
nine
thousand
dollars
distributed
over
the
course
of
18
increments
of
500
each.
In
addition,
they
received
support
with
economic,
Mobility,
coaches
and,
very
importantly,
this
pilot
program,
because
it
was
a
privately
funded
effort,
did
not
risk
the
income,
the
eligibility
for
other
safety
net
programs
that
would
come
from
enhancements
to
their
income
next
slide.
A
And
so
we
expect
that
at
the
end
of
this
year
we
should
be
getting
some
data,
because
our
Department
of
Human
Services
is
partnering
in
the
evaluation
of
this
project.
But
already
there
have
been
some
interim
check-ins
and
we've
had
self-reporting
from
participants
who
have
reported.
You
know.
Five
of
them
are
excerpted
here,
but
very,
very
important
outcomes
that
are
wholly
consistent
with
guaranteed
income,
Pilots
that
have
occurred
elsewhere.
A
Increased
hope
up,
hope,
increased
feelings
of
Hope
and
security
having
the
necessary
resources
primarily
for
the
care
of
their
children,
giving
them
the
opportunity
to
pursue
opportunities
that
could
result
in
their
advancement
in
Workforce,
training
and
education,
and
also
greater
flexibility
in
just
being
able
to
make
ends
meet.
A
We
have
been
alerted
to
a
coalition
group
called
counties
for
a
guaranteed
income
and
the
Arlington
Community
Foundation
shared
Prosperity
initiative,
which
is
our
program
sponsor
of
the
pilot,
is,
is
a
part
of
this
effort
and
has
connected
us
all
to
it.
We've
had
several
of
us
who've
joined
as
individuals,
and
these
this
is
a
group
of
Mayors
and
and
elected
officials
from
all
over
the
country
who
are
advocating
for
state
and
federal
policy
changes
that
allow
these
kinds
of
guaranteed
income
programs
to
be
brought
to
scale
to
help
residents
in
our
community.
A
So
with
that,
there's
a
resolution
that
I
offer
for
you
all
again.
I
will
not
go
through
the
Preparatory
Clauses
because
they
essentially
restate
what
I
just
talked
about.
But
the
resolve
Clauses
are
that
the
Arlington
County
Board
supports
its
members,
joining
counties
for
guaranteed
income
and
National
Coalition
to
advance
work,
to
create
an
income
floor
for
all
residents
and
supports
ongoing
direct
cash
payments
to
significantly
income
strain
income,
constrained
households
from
the
federal
government
which
can
provide
these
benefits
at
scale
which
are
portable
and
provide
protection.
A
That
cash
benefits
will
not
reduce
eligibility
for
other
safety
net
programs
and
be
it
further
resolved
that
the
County
Board
will
notify
local
state
and
federal
lawmakers
of
our
advocacy
position
on
guaranteed
income
and
share
the
evaluation
of
our
pilot
program.
When
published
Yeah
seconded
by
Mr
Karen
Thomas
Is.
There
further
discussion,
Mr
D
ferranti,
just.
D
Very
briefly,
two
points
that
I
think
are
critical
for
my
support.
One
is
the
distinction
from
respectfully
from
Mr
Yang's
campaign
position.
We
need
to
be
targeting
this
sort
of
support
to
those
most
in
need,
and,
second,
if
you're,
hoping
that
economic
Mobility
is
really
possible
in
Arlington,
this
seems
like
a
solid
policy
and
particularly
the
Arlington
Community
community
foundation's
effort
to
show
what's
possible,
with
500
on
a
monthly
basis.
That's
flexible,
I
think
this
is
part
of
that
economic
Mobility.
So
thanks
very
much
thank
you.
Mr
Karen
Thomas.
E
Just
to
notes
from
my
side,
I
think
this
is
a
very
important
policy
positioning
for
Arlington
County.
Until
now,
we've
been
very,
very
good,
I
think
to
deliver
Services
when
they
what
they
when
they're
needed.
So
you
know
if
kids
were
hungry,
we
managed
and
we
still
managed
to
provide
them
with
food.
What
we
haven't
done
is
to
find
ways
so
that
they're
not
hungry,
they
don't
suffer
hunger
in
the
first
place
so,
and
this
is
a
significant
step
forward.
This
is
the
philosophy
that
says
we
want
to
stabilize.
E
We
want
to
exit
property,
we
want
to
beat
poverty
at
its
very,
very
core
and
at
the
end,
this
is
also
fiscally
very
sound,
because
it
makes
any
help
that
we
provide
it
stretches
and
makes
it
way
more
efficient,
so
I'm
very
excited
to
support
that
and
to
see
how
it
evolves.
Further
I
mean
this
is
just
the
beginning.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
The
data
that's
forthcoming,
I'll
just
know
somewhat,
perhaps
somewhat
glibly
that
another
way
of
saying
guaranteed
income
at
least
month
to
month
would
be
a
salary,
and
so
this
is
yet
another
reminder
of
how,
as
Government
it's
really
important
for
us
to
not
let
any
members
of
our
community
fall
behind,
but
ultimately
the
fact
that
there
is
a
Gap,
a
large
gap
between
the
cost
of
living
in
our
region
and
then
what
people
earn
from
their
labor
on
the
market
is
not
just
one
that
can
be
filled
with
government
by
government.
F
It
really
underscores
the
need
for
a
more
Equitable
economy.
Certainly
my
theory
of
the
case,
I
didn't
know
what
my
colleagues
have
shared
is
supporting
workers
in
advocating
for
themselves
and
their
own
power
and
authority
by
the
right
to
organize
and
and
other
efforts
as
well.
So
again,
I
think
it
is
always
worth
doing
to
pursue
how
we
can
be
most
effectively
managing
our
safety,
because
there
is
going
to
be
a
need
for
it.
A
G
I
think
you
don't
want
to
be
the
only
one,
not
speaking
but
I.
Actually,
I
am
really
pleased
with
this.
You
know,
I
think
we
talk
about
systemic
racism,
I
think
we
have
systemic
poverty,
and
this
is
going
to
start
to
get
at
it.
I'm
pleased
that
we're
trying
it
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
Institutions
and
people
that
actually
kind
of
benefit
from
the
current
system.
G
They
may
not
really
even
quite
realize
it,
but
if
we're
going
to
make
some
real
changes,
I
think
this
is
probably
a
direction
we
need
to
go
and
I'm
really
pleased
that
we
can
be
part
of
it.
Thank
you.
A
You
know
I'll
just
note,
Mr
D
Franti
apologies
I'm,
going
to
recycle
some
of
the
things
that
I
said
in
an
event
that
we
attended
together
a
couple
weeks
ago,
but
you
know
we're
we're
a
community
that,
even
at
the
increased
levels
of
the
wage
floor,
that
is
a
standard
in
Virginia
someone
earning
fully
that
wage
is
still
very
low
income
in
a
community
like
Arlington
and
with
that
being
an
acceptable
way
for
someone
to
devote
their
full
time
and
attention
to
labor.
A
There
has
to
be
a
way
to
ensure
that
that
person
can
live
with
dignity
and
have
some
hope
and
opportunity,
and
since
we
don't
have
robust
enough
safety
net
to
fully
do
that
on
the
local
level,
part
of
what
makes
the
guaranteed
income
premise,
which
again
can
be
designed
in
a
variety
of
different,
helpful
ways.
What
makes
that
incredibly
appealing
is
that
it's
brought
to
scale
importantly,
this
doesn't
commit
Arlington
County
to
providing
a
guaranteed
income
for
all,
though
I
would
love
to.
We
can't
it's
not
possible
with
our
local
resources.
A
This
can
only
be
done
to
Federal
scale
and
in
many
ways
the
very
issues
that
have
been
created
by
systemic
poverty
need
to
be
addressed
by
the
scale
of
the
problem
and
that
can
only
come
through
state
federal
initiatives.
So,
thank
you
all
for
your
incredibly
wise
words
on
this
topic.
I
think
we're
ready
for
a
vote
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed
the
eyes
have
it,
and
next
I
think
this
will
be
my
last
piece
for
a
while
I'd
like
to
offer
a
motion
to
adopt
the
following.
A
A
and
just
for
the
sake
of
argument,
I'm
gonna
revise
that
I'm
gonna
move
that
we
appoint
to
the
Housing
Commission
Katie
Wenger
for
a
term
ending
June
30th
2027
to
the
fiscal
Affairs
advisory
commission
that
we
designate
Jillian
Burgess
as
chair
for
a
term
ending
June
30th
2024.
We
appoint
Robert
Benson
to
the
forestry
and
natural
resources
commission
for
a
term
ending
June
30
2026.
A
We
appoint
Peter
Robertson
to
the
Planning
Commission
for
a
term
ending
June
30
2027
to
the
sports
commission
that
we
appoint
both
Deb
Ryan
and
Brian
eckel
for
terms
ending
June,
30
2025
and
to
the
technology
advisory
commission
that
we
appoint
Prescott
burden
for
a
term
ending
June
30
2026.
That
does
not
need
a
second.
Is
there
any
discussion,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
hearing
no
opposition.
We
congratulate
all
of
those
advisory,
commission
members,
newly
appointed
and
reappointed
or
so
designated.
A
G
Thank
you,
I
think.
As
my
colleagues
know,
I
was
recently
really
privileged
again
to
go
to
our
sister
city
of
akan,
Germany
and
I.
Don't
know
if
we've
got
a
couple
of
slides,
not
that
we
really
especially
need
them.
I
think
we're
looking
for
them.
There
we
go,
and
this,
as
some
of
you
know,
is
a
major
prize.
G
It's
kind
of
like
the
Nobel
Prize
for
for
Europe,
and
it's
been
awarded
to
people
like
President,
Bill,
Clinton
and
the
pope,
and
the
Secretary
General
of
the
UN,
and
this
year
went
to
President
Vladimir
zielinski
in
the
past
I've
attended
and
it's
always
quite
an
experience
in
the
past
I've
attended
and
been
kind
of
a
little
shocked
at
the
lack
of
what
seemed
to
me
security,
because
I'm
literally
with
kings
and
queens
and
prime
ministers
and
presidents,
and
me
it's
always
an
amazing
experience,
but
they
didn't
ever
seem
to
me
to
be
much
security.
G
This
time
is
real
different.
There
were
a
lot
fewer
people,
the
plaza
where
people
gathered
was
completely
roped
off.
They
were
helicopters,
overhead
president
zielinski
arrived
an
hour
and
a
half
late,
and
not
that
anybody
actually
really
mattered
minded.
G
He
was
I
think
at
that
point,
working
really
hard
to
gain
more
support
for
the
the
effort
that
he's
undertaking
now
with
his
country,
and
it
was
really
exciting
to
be
part
of
it.
One
more
picture
here,
I
think
the
next
slide,
so
I
got
to
be
pretty
close
and
that
the
the
woman
on
the
side
of
the
right
is
Ursula,
vanderland
who's,
the
president
of
the
European
Parliament
I,
believe
commission
yeah,
thank
you
and
it
was
just.
G
He
was
just
kind
of
the
way
he
is
on
television,
although
it
was
real
excitement
in
the
room,
cracked,
a
joke
or
two
seemed
a
little
bit
tired,
but
really
exciting
to
kind
of
be
in
the
room
with
everyone.
Wonderful
remarks
from
folks,
and
you
really
felt
how
important
it
is
to
be
in
person
in
these
things-
and
you
can
tell
he-
was
he's
developing
real
personal
relationships
with
these
leaders,
which
is
crucial
to
his
country's
survival
right
now.
G
But
there
was
a
real
sense
of
kind
of
person-to-person
connections
and
one
of
the
things
that
he
said
that
really
sticks
with
me
is
saying
that
all
all
he
wants
is
for
his
people
to
have
what
you
all
in
this
room
have
today
and
what
we
have
you
can
walk
out
in
the
street.
You
can
go
to
a
restaurant.
You
don't
have
to
worry
about
a
bomb
falling
on
your
children
or
your
house
just
wants
to
live
like
that,
and
it
was
a
great
honor
to
be
there
next
slide.
G
So
I
just
use
this
as
a
chance
to
recommend
sister
cities,
and
if
anybody
wants
to
join
or
go
on
and
learn
more
about
it,
they've
got
a
website.
It's
been
a
little
bit
Hiatus
with
kovid,
that's
his
kind
of
knocked
on
travel
and
things
like
that
out,
but
it's
coming
back
together
and
I
will
mention.
G
I
had
had
a
nice
discussion
with
a
young
man,
who's
a
firefighter
in
aachen,
and
there
is
a
real
connection
between
their
firefighters
and
ours
and
they've
had
exchanges,
and
he
said
to
me
how
much
it
meant
to
them
and
how
helpful
it
was.
Actually
to
be,
they
were
on
Zoom
calls
with
our
fire
department,
our
fire
chief,
and
that
they
picked
up
pointers
and
gave
us
some
pointers,
and
that
was
a
real
connection
where
they
were
able
to
help
and
support
each
other,
and
that
was
pretty
cool
to
hear.
Thank
you.
A
F
You
so
much
and
I
am
going
to
invite
our
into
fatigable
County
managers,
office,
team,
Elizabeth
and
Amber
to
join
us
in
a
presentation.
I
think
we
may
also
be
joined
by
potentially
online
members
of
our
United
Way
of
the
national
capillary
team,
perhaps
not
okay,
so
we'll
look
to
the
two
of
you
and
we
do
have
a
presentation
today.
F
Colleagues,
thank
you
for
indulging
me
on
this,
because
you
all
have
received
a
version
of
this
presentation,
but
one
of
the
key
values
of
this
whole
effort
has
been
transparency
to
the
community,
reflecting
what
we're
doing
in
as
close
to
near
time
as
possible
as
we
are
doing
it,
and
so
I'm
really
glad
to
have
this
opportunity
to
reintroduce
Ms,
Matlock
and
Ms
Barnett
to
the
community,
to
give
a
little
bit
of
insight
on
what
all
we
have
been
working
on.
I
think
the
community
last
heard
from
us
formally
back
in
January.
F
So
following
after
that,
we
had
a
board
resolution
to
talk
about
this
transition
that
we
were
making.
Since
then
we
have
been
working
incredibly
hard
and
in
particular,
this
team
has
been
working
incredibly
hard.
So
as
we
look
at
just
the
maybe
the
first
slide
there
first
couple
of
slides,
I'll
take
those
by
I'm.
So
sorry,
I,
don't
think
by
way
of
background
and
then
I'm
going
to
hand
things
off
to
to
this.
The
team
of
these
two.
F
So
as
we
have
talked
about
a
great
length,
this
project
grew
out
of
challenges
with
the
Arlington
Way
identified
in
the
the
dialogues
on
race
and
equity
in
2020
in
2021.
That
talked
about
how
the
Arlington
ways
shortcomings
have
been
a
lack
of
transparency
and
access
and
historically
disadvantaging
bipoc
community
members.
F
This
work
also
grew
out
of
what
I
think
has
been
a
long-standing
desire
of
this
board
to
have
a
more
formalized
and
transparent
process
for
important
work
that
we
do
in
making
non-profit
funding
decisions.
So
we
have
spent
the
past
couple
of
years
working
with
a
team
of
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color,
Community
leaders
and
representatives
of
community-based
service
providers
Guided
by
the
United
Way
of
the
national
capital
area,
including
representatives
of
Arlington
County
government
and
funded
by
e
pluribus
unum
We've
created.
F
We
worked
with
this
working
group
and
ultimately
co-created
with
their
co-leadership
a
set
of
recommendations
for
how
we
could
change
our
funding
process
to
better
reflect
our
goals
of
racial
equity
and
confront
some
of
those
challenges
with
the
Arlington
Way
go
to
the
next
slide,
just
again
to
Anchor
Us.
In
those
recommendations,
you
all
have
heard
these
a
number
of
times
already
and
I.
F
Thank
you
for
your
patience
again,
but
we
talked
read
the
the
group
recommended
that
we
establish
a
competitive
notice
of
funding
available
to
be
as
accessible
as
possible
as
transparent
as
possible
and
to
offer
technical
support
throughout
the
process
so
that
smaller
community-based
organizations
or
perhaps
leaders
of
community
organizations
that
don't
speak
English
or
have
other
obstacles
to
participation
could
feel
like.
F
It
was
one
that
is
accessible
to
them
as
well,
that
a
proposal
evaluation
should
encourage
Community
voice
above
all,
and
then
we
should
be
able
to
accept
and
evaluate
proposals
that
are
holistic
and,
in
particular,
that
address
root
causes,
instead
of
just
the
the
important
safety
net
that
catches
folks,
when
something
goes
wrong,
that
the
funding
Awards
themselves
should
be
transparent,
but
also
flexible.
In
making
award
decisions
and
to
provide
individual
feedback
to
applicants
so
that
they
can
grow
and
improve
for
hopefully
future
years.
F
So
these
are
I,
think
the
the
values
which
I
have
already
spoken
to
some
extent.
But
again
we
are
operating
off
of
recommendations
that
came
that
were
co-created
with
Community
leaders
and
have
really
put
Community
voice
at
the
center
of
evaluating
proposals,
which
is
Matlock
and
Miss.
Barnett
will
share
more
about
shortly
again
about
Equity,
creating
opportunities
for
those
who've
not
historically
had
access
and
accountability
and
transparency,
which
I've
emphasized
as
well.
F
F
I
was
just
about
to
hand
it
over
to
Ms
Barnett
and
Ms
Matlock
Ms
crane,
as
my
colleagues
have
all
Met,
has
been
one
of
the
most
or
one
of
the
leaders
of
a
team
that
has
just
been
essential
from
facilitating
this
project
to
really
bringing
subject
matter
expertise,
particularly
in
the
person
of
Miss
crane,
who
has
helped
communities
all
of
across
our
region
and
Beyond.
Do
these
types
of
processes
and
again
try
to
bring
Community
voice
to
the
center
so
without
further
Ado.
F
Let
me
hand
it
over
to
the
two
of
you:
is
that
like
Ms
Barnett,
to
walk
us
through
how
this
is
coming
together
and
what
the
community
can
expect.
H
So
in
view
of
that,
County
staff
and
United
Way
have
been
working
hard
to
draft
an
application
with
clear
sections.
Clear
questions
laid
out
straight
in
a
straightforward
manner,
so
that
it
would
be
accessible
to
people
filling
out
the
application.
H
So,
on
the
left,
you'll
see
that
sections
that
are
included
in
the
application,
including
what
population
the
applicant
intends
to
serve.
What
a
description
of
their
program
would
be
that
they're
proposing
how
they
intend
to
evaluate
the
program,
how
their
program
advances
racial
Equity,
how
they
engage
and
commit
to
community
outreach
and
forming
their
program
and
then
planning
for
it.
And
then
we
plan
on
including
an
appendix
that
includes
a
lot
of
helpful
material
for
any
applicant,
including
definitions
of
key
terms,
sample
responses
and
just
a
guide
to
the
questions.
H
Any
resources
we
have
that
could
help
them.
And
then
applicants
are
also
going
to
be
asked
to
submit
the
following
documents:
realizing
that
some
applicants,
especially
newer
organizations
or
smaller
organizations,
may
not
have
things
like
an
audit,
but
will
make
it
easier
for
them
to
submit
them,
and
if
they
don't
have
them,
we
will
be
there
to
answer
any
questions
if
they
don't
know
how
to
get
a
resource
or
something
so
the
application
form
will
be
translated
into
multiple
languages.
H
To
be
sure,
it's
accessible
to
as
many
people
as
can
be
I
will
accept
written
and
audio
submissions,
and
there
will
be
page
and
time
limits
for
those.
The
submissions
will
be
collected
in
a
streamlined
and
streamlined
and
centralized
format
and
we'll
be
offering
technical
assistance
both
in
providing
FAQs
and
also
providing
technical
assistance
sessions
to
support
applicants
in
completing
this
application.
H
Take
me
to
the
next
Slide.
The
technical
assistance
is
also
a
part
of
the
recommendations
put
out
by
the
community
leaders
group,
and
so
we
intend
on
really
kicking
that
off
with
an
introductory
session,
providing
broad
overviews
of
the
nofa
process
to
community
members
and
then
we'll
offer
up
to
four
sessions
during
the
application
window.
H
To
provide
more
detailed
instruction
on
what
we
expect,
we
intend
on
collecting
feedback
from
community
members.
As
far
as
what
questions
they
have
to
kind
of
inform,
what
will
go
into
those
technical
assistance
sessions,
and
then
we
also
intend
on
recording
those
sessions
so
that
they'll
be
available
to
anyone
who
cannot
actually
attend.
And
so
by
doing
all
of
this,
we
hope
to
maximize
any
transparency
and
accessibility
for
people
who
want
to
apply.
I
So
the
next
part,
the
next
bucket
kind
of
of
recommendations,
was
around
creating
a
holistic
approach
to
the
proposal
evaluation,
and
so
the
first
part
of
that
is
to
create
a
detailed
rubric
and
that
will
be
made
available
to
applicants
when
the
nofa
gets
released.
I
Those
reviewers
will
also
go
through
a
reviewer
training
and
that
training
is
to
really
increase
their
skill
level,
skill
level
and
confidence
in
completing
an
unbiased
evaluation
on
those
applications,
and
once
those
proposals
have
been
reviewed,
we
really
want
those
funding
recommendations
to
be
informed
by
the
group,
consensus
and
all
aspects
going
back
to
our
recommendations,
making
sure
that
all
aspects
of
that
process
are
documented
for
transparency.
I
So
what
you
see
here
is
an
example
of
a
detailed
rubric.
It's
a
sample,
and
this,
like
I
said,
will
be
available
when
the
nofa
is
released.
So
applicants
will
have
this
document
available
and
be
able
to
use
this
as
a
checklist
as
they're
writing
their
proposals
and
making
sure
that
they
are
addressing
all
the
criteria
that
that
are
needed
to
achieve.
Ideally,
a
four
point
score,
and
so
this
is
using
a
likert
scale
as
well.
I
We
really
really
want
to
be
clear
in
articulating
the
level
of
detail
that
we're
looking
for
in
those
proposals
to
achieve
that
high
score
and
I
also
want
to
note
that
those
sections
will
be
weighted
differently,
foreign,
so
going
back
to
you,
know
the
training
piece.
This
is
really
where
our
values
meet
the
process.
I
I
This
is
a
priority
for
the
county,
and
so
we
really
want
to
make
sure
that's
embedded
in
this
process
as
well
looking
at
how
we
can
make
sure
our
reviewers
are
being
objective
as
opposed
to
subjective
in
this
in
this
process
and
really
resisting
the
urge
to
compare
proposals,
and
so
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
they
are
recognizing
their
biases
in
that
process
and
make
sure
that,
as
we
are
reviewing
that,
we
are
able
to
provide
feedback,
that's
helpful
and
Community
centered
to
to
the
folks
who
will
be
applying
for
this.
I
This
nofa
on
the
right
hand,
side.
Looking
at
the
process,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
all
of
our
reviewers
complete
what
we
call
a
calibration
application.
This
is
to
get
them
familiar
and
comfortable
with
that
process.
Prior
to
looking
at
the
the
true
applicants
for
this
process,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
proposal
feedback
is
written
so
that
that
is
available
kind
of
going
back
to
our
accountability
and
transparency,
piece
and
those
recommendations.
I
We
want
our
reviewers
to
focus
on
content
as
opposed
to
things
like
grammar
and
mechanics,
so
that
they're
not
getting
so
hung
up
on
the
errors
and
and
as
we're
thinking
about
some
of
that
feedback,
that
that
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
provide
that
that
feedback
to
our
applicants
and
then
the
final
piece
is,
as
as
our
reviewers
are
reading
and
listening
scoring
and
commenting
on
those
applications.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
they
are
doing
so
one
section
at
a
time.
H
So
the
third
recommendation
from
the
community
leaders
group
focused
on
a
funding
process
that
was
transparent
and
flexible
and
it
offered
feedback
to
the
applicants
and
we
tried
to
incorporate
that
in
our
process
that
we're
developing
the
post
evaluation
process
includes
the
recommendation.
So
in
the
late
winter
early
spring,
the
award
recommendations
will
be
coordinated
with
the
budget
process
and
made
to
the
County
Board.
The
board
members
will
have
scores
for
all
applicants
and
they
will
have
the
discretion
to
fund
high
scoring
projects
beyond
what
the
panels
recommend.
H
If
there
is
funding
available,
then
the
County
Board
will
approve
the
funding
decisions
and
those
decisions
are
not
subject
to
review
appeal
or
protest.
The
awards
will
be
posted
online
so
that
they're
open
to
the
public
once
awards
are
approved.
All
applicants
May
view
their
cumulative
score
and
anonymized
reviewer
comments
for
feedback,
so
they'll
have
access
to
any
kind
of
feedback,
written
documentation,
feedback
that
we
have
produced.
I
And
so
looking
at
the
The
Fourth
Kind
of
bucket
of
recommendations
is
around
accountability
both
for
the
service
providers
and
for
the
county,
and
so
we've
kind
of
broken.
This
up
into
three
areas.
The
first
being
reporting
in
that
awardees
will
be
be
asked
to
provide
written
progress,
reports
reports
and
the
County
May
conduct
site
visits
to
awardees
when
we're
looking
talking
about
support,
providing
the
county
being
able
to
provide
technical
assistance
throughout
that
process
and
following
up
with
any
awardees
who
may
be
facing
challenges
with
that
process.
I
And
then
the
last
piece
is
that
process
review
and
making
sure
that
we
are
engaging
the
community
for
feedback
on
the
process
and
and
our
efficiency
in
that
process
and
using
that
feedback
to
inform
any
adjustments
or
Improvement
that
we
make
in
subsequent
years
to
the
process.
H
We
have
this
board
presentation
today
to
provide
you
all
with
an
update,
and
we
have
a
community
meeting
that
we
are
planning
for
this
summer
to
provide
an
overview
and
an
update
on
the
process
to
community
members,
many
of
whom
might
have
attended
the
January
community
meeting
and
then
a
larger
engagement
effort
will
go
on
with
in
the
fall
once
we
release
the
nofa,
we
will
also
be
recruiting
reviewers,
so
we
plan
on
recruiting
both
internally
and
externally,
recruiting
from
staff,
especially
staff
who
have
experience
in
human
services
or
reviewing
grants
and
also
recruiting
community
members
who
might
have
lived
experience
and
have
the
closeness
to
the
community
and
be
able
to
bring
that
Community
voice
to
the
process.
H
We
have
approved
the
the
overall
principles
and
funding
of
this
process
with
a
community
information
session,
like
I,
said
planned
this
summer,
The
nofa
will
be
released
and
as
planned
in
September,
and
while
applicants
are
working
on
their
applications,
we
will
be
conducting
technical
assistance
sessions
and
we
will
be
recruiting
reviewers
so
that
by
the
time
applications
are
submitted
in
December,
we
will
have
all
of
our
reviewers
recruited
and
trained
and
then
in
Winter,
the
early
months
of
2024,
those
reviewers
will
be
looking
over.
H
All
of
the
applications
they'll
make
their
award
recommendation
in
late
winter
and
that
will
be
approved
by
the
board
and
we
will
begin
working
on
work
plans
and
agreements
with
the
grantees.
We
will
be
providing
like
I,
said
feedback
to
all
of
the
applicants
in
the
spring
and
funds
can
be
distributed
at
the
beginning
of
fiscal
year.
25.
H
F
Thank
you
both
so
much
for
the
work
that
underlies
all
of
these
updates
that
you've
provided
and
for
presenting
today
to
us,
and
by
extension,
to
the
whole
of
the
community.
We
do
have
an
opportunity
to
invite
questions.
I,
don't
think
any
of
us
will
take
offense
if
you
don't
have
any
since
we've
been
perhaps
transparent
to
the
point
of
exhausting
you
all
when
it
comes
to
sharing
this
work
with
board
members.
But
I
am
really
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
make
sure
everyone
knows
how
this
is
unfolding.
F
The
transparency
only
works
and
the
goals
of
more
participatory
and
Equitable
process
only
work.
If
the
community
knows
about
what's
happening
and
our
organizations
feel
welcomed
to
participate
and
our
community
members
feel
welcome
to
participate
as
reviewers,
which
is
really
an
exciting
element
of
what
will
be
unfolding
over
the
next
six
months.
G
Yeah
I,
just
wanna
I
mean
thank
you
included
me
on
the
presentation
here,
but
the
work
obviously
clearly
has
been
done
by
Miss
Crystal,
who
invited
me
to
kind
of
try
to
she's.
Passing
me,
the
Baton
I
guess
is
what
we
would
say,
but
the
heavy
lifting
has
really
all
been
done.
It's
just
amazing
the
work
that's
been
done
and
I
look
forward,
Katie
to
telling
you
how
it
works
out,
because
this
is
a
really
big
change.
I
mean
it
all.
G
So
I
expect
it's
going
to
be
a
little
bumpy
at
times
and
I
look
forward
to
filling
you
in
from
time
to
time,
but
I
think
a
lot
of
good
groundwork
has
been
done,
a
lot
of
good
groundwork
and
it
really
should
help
the
board
and
future
boards
doing
doing
their
work,
because
I've
always
felt
the
lack
of
lack
of
this
in
the
past,
and
it's
just
wonderful
to
have
it.
Have
it
here
and
thank
you,
Miss
Crystal,
very
much.
Thank
you.
E
Just
wanted
to
say:
I,
don't
have
any
questions
at
this
moment
or
I
have
a
ton
of
questions,
but
they
belong
to
the
September
discussion
right.
So
the
you,
you
have
done
an
amazing
job.
Thank
you.
This
is
indeed
a
very
novel
approach
to
things.
It's
also
a
let's
say,
intellectually
intensive
and
resource
intensive
from
for
our
sites.
We
are
the
first
ones
who
have
to
I
mean
as
an
organization
as
an
Enterprise.
E
We
have
to
adapt
a
little
bit
in
the
idea
of
making
something
transparent
and
it's
interesting
to
observe
it.
You
know
transparency
has
to
be
worked
on.
This
is
not
something
that
you
just
said.
It's
something
that
organically
has
to
work
to
to
you
know
it's
a
result
of
of
working
an
intentional
intervention
so
more
to
come
on
this
I
guess.
Thank
you
again
for
all
your
leadership
on
this
Miss
Crystal
and
for
all
your
work,
and
we
will
discussing
that
scarving
again
in
September,
I,
guess
right.
So.
D
Mr
D
Franti.
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
thank
you,
Miss
Crystal
for
all
the
work
and,
in
particular
conversation
we
had
since
this
last
came
up
that
really
helped
me
on
this
process.
I
have
one
very
specific.
Just
thought
on
the
recording
of
the
technical
assistance
makes
total
sense
to
me.
I
could
Envision
not
sort
of
the
reverse
effect
of
some
folks.
D
Don't
always
want
to
be
recorded
and
that's
something
that
you
probably
have
thought
of
and
just
worth
continuing
to
consider
and
then,
as
I'd
like
to
you
know,
the
community
members
who
have
lived
experience
is
very
powerful.
For
me,
that's
a
to
be
continued
a
little
bit
for
me
without
diminishing
the
extraordinary
amount
of
work.
I
just
want
to
surface
that
I.
Don't
think,
I
think
the
the
challenges
with
where
the
Arlington
Way
has
been
are
fairly
self-evident.
D
To
me,
I
also
think
that
just
want
to
put
a
pin
in
that
so
that
I'm,
honest
about
with
the
community
and
with
with
staff
as
to
where
I
am
on
getting
there
I
think
the
result
is
the
same.
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
little
Point
thanks
Mr,
chair
and
Miss
Crystal
for
all
the
work.
F
And
if
I
may
Mr
I'm
so
glad
you
brought
that
up
actually
I
think
that's
an
area
we've
talked
about
in
terms
of
having
recruiting
community
members.
We
know
there
are
barriers
to
participation
right,
we're
trying
to
get
the
perspectives
of
people
who
have
been
clients
of
safety
net
organizations
or
of
the
County
Services
in
the
past.
F
These
are
folks
who
almost
definitionally
right
have
challenges
with
income
or
Transportation
or
family
obligations,
and
so
I
think
this
has
provided
a
really
nice
opportunity
to
dovetail
with
the
Equitable
engagement
work
that
Dr
Hoffer
and
the
cape
team
have
been
doing
to
figure
out
what
compensation
looks
like
what
other
supports
may
need
to
be
provided,
and
this
team,
these
three
women
especially
have
done
I,
think
really
extensive
work
to
try
to
Envision
all
of
the
potential
barriers
and
what
our
our
our
strategies
might
be
for
trying
to
overcome
them.
F
As
Dr
Helfer
herself
observed
me
recently,
I
mean
this
is
this:
is
asking
community
members
to
to
Really
join
us
in
the
work
of
government?
This
is
pretty
intensive
stuff
and
so
really
wanting
to
make
sure
that
we
can
include
their
voices
and
overcome
the
those
obstacles
is
important.
A
D
The
chair,
our
Housing
Commission,
has
come
to
us
with
a
set
of
recommendations.
We
have
considered
and
engaged
with
staff
and
engaged
briefly,
but
importantly
as
a
board,
and
so
we
have
a
couple
of
changes
to
basically
update
our
charge
and
Charter
for
the
Housing
Commission.
So
on
the
next
slide.
D
Many
of
these
changes
are
wording
changes,
but
I
think
that
they're
important
the
Housing
Commission
sounds
a
lot
better
than
the
to
me
than
the
citizens
advisory
Commission
on
housing,
no
disrespect
to
the
Past
name,
it
just
it's
more
succinct
we
have
adopted
in
the
second
bowl.
We
talk
about
Equity,
we
should
I
think
are
affirmatively.
Furthering
fair
housing
is
a
is
a
piece
of
work
that
we
have
Incorporated
in
the
charge
and
we
made
some
other
small
changes.
The
next
slide
includes
some
changes.
That
I
think
is
important
to
note.
D
Many
of
our
commissions
have
had
very
specific
denumerations
of
of
from
where
membership
should
come
from,
and
in
this
case,
and
perhaps
in
some
others
being
inclusive
and
making
sure
that
we
have
representation
from
both
a
variety
of
interests
such
as
tenants
developers,
Builders
real
estate,
but
also,
and
also
making
sure
that
our
representation
is
inclusive
of
our
whole
Community,
demographically
and
ethnically,
and
so
we
have
made
some
changes
to
essentially
just
go
to
one
member
of
each
of
these
previously
listed
areas,
but
still
be
inclusive
and
that's
what's
on
the
right,
and
so
those
are
the
changes.
D
A
A
B
You
Mr
chair
members
of
the
board.
One
item
today
are
Vision
zero,
Equity
analysis,
and
so
one
of
the
six
goals
of
our
vision,
zero
program
is
that
Transportation
safety
is
Equitable
across
all
people
in
neighborhoods
in
Arlington
and
the
vision,
zero
team
convened
a
group
of
interdepartmental
Staff
members
who
collectively
reviewed
various
data
and
to
learn
more
about
potential
inequities
regarding
how
crashes,
injuries
and
responses
to
safety
and
Corey's
work.
B
J
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
giving
us
the
green
light
to
move
forward
on
this
analysis
by
way
of
adopting
the
vision,
zero
action
plan.
We're
really
excited
to
increase
awareness,
about
Equity
issues
related
to
Transportation
safety
and
have
the
data
now
to
really
back
that
up
and
I
also
wanted
to
acknowledge
Samia
bird
who
couldn't
be
here
today,
but
played
a
huge
role
in
overseeing
this
effort.
J
J
So
this
work
started
with
this
internal
steering
team,
big
thanks
to
everybody.
On
this
list.
We
brainstormed
about
what
information
we
had
available
aside
from
just
crash
data
to
help
us
analyze
our
questions
that
we
had
about
equity,
and
then
we
did
the
analysis.
In-House
big
thanks
to
Laura
Castro
who's
sitting
over
here
did
a
lot
of
that
work,
as
well
as
the
vision,
zero
team.
Then
we
ended
up
bringing
in
a
third
party
consultant
team
to
help
us
review
quality
check.
J
So
the
first
step
was
to
identify
areas
in
Arlington
with
a
higher
likelihood
of
historical
inequity.
So
we
looked
at
the
Metropolitan
Washington
Council
of
governments,
Equity
emphasis
areas
as
our
starting
point,
but
those
areas
they
identify
census,
geographies
based
on
race
or
income
population
percentages
and
those
MW
Cog,
Equity
emphasis
area
criteria
are
really
relative
to
the
region,
which
makes
the
coverage
within
Arlington
alone
relatively
Slim.
J
Those
title
six
areas
also
use
thresholds
relative
to
each
race
and
income,
but
they
have
thresholds
specific
to
Arlington.
So
using
those
title,
six
areas
gave
us
better
coverage
within
Arlington
and
also
created
consistency
within
Des
for
transportation,
Equity
analysis.
J
So
then
we
looked
at
these
Equity
emphasis
areas
in
relation
to
crash
data
available
from
Arlington
Police,
as
well
as
state
police
crash
reports.
We
looked
at
driver
origin
data
from
crash
reports
because
knowing
where
people
are
coming
from,
who
are
involved
in
crashes,
helps
us
to
direct
resources
and
education
to
help
prevent
crashes.
J
We
also
looked
at
Community
requests
relative
to
equity
as
a
series,
so
we
looked
at
requests
from
the
request
for
service
portal,
direct
inquiries
to
you
all:
the
County,
Board
safety,
related
submissions
to
Art,
erwamata
safety
portal
or
service,
reportable
portals
and
applications
to
the
Arlington
neighborhoods
program,
as
well
as
the
neighborhood
complete
streets
programs.
So
the
goal
here
was
to
understand
more
about
whether
we
receive
requests
more
or
less
frequently
from
different
neighborhoods,
and
we
also
investigated
Hospital
data
available
from
Virginia
Hospital
Center.
J
In
the
origin
analysis,
we
found
that
60
of
people
involved
in
crashes
aren't
actually
from
Arlington,
but
the
surrounding
region,
and
when
you
looked
within
Arlington
people
from
22204
were
disproportionately
involved
in
crashes,
and
I
will
note
that
zip
code
data
is
the
only
available
geography
for
knowing
where
people
are
coming
from.
When
you
look
at
the
crash
reports,
so
that's
why
it
boils
down
to
the
ZIP
code.
J
When
we
looked
at
systemic
risks
in
equity
emphasis
areas,
we
found
the
top
crash
Trends
involved.
Pedestrians
left
turn
conflicts
and
often
we're
near
public
facilities
like
schools.
We
confirmed
that
Community
requests
are
underrepresented
in
equity
emphasis
areas,
and
we
also
learned
that
black
or
African-American
individuals
were
overrepresented
in
crash
related
hospitalizations.
J
So
from
here
we
did
our
literature
review,
which
helped
us
to
contextualize
and
learn
more
about
potential
root
causes
for
each
of
these
findings
and
from
there
we
arrived
at
a
set
of
10
action
items
that
specifically
Elevate
Equity
emphasis
areas
when
we're
conducting
safety
analysis.
So
that
includes
our
hotspot
analysis
when
we're
prioritizing
and
funding
projects
when
we're
conducting
public
engagement
or
Outreach
events
as
we're
educating
community
members
and
making
information
available
to
the
community
and
as
we
plan
proactive
safety
improvements.
J
So
we're
really
trying
to
use
the
equity
emphasis
areas
as
a
way
to
boost
our
investment
and
our
improvements
in
these
areas
and
then
we'll
track
progress
for
each
of
the
action
items
to
ensure
that
we're
getting
results.
J
So
report
track
back
on
these
tracking
metrics
in
when
we
update
the
action
plan
in
2025,
so
only
two
years
away
as
we
make
progress
on
each
of
these,
so
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
analysis.
It
was
a
lot
of
complex
things
that
we
tried
to
boil
down
into
a
short
presentation,
but
you
know
the
bottom
line
is
that
this
analysis
confirmed
that
there
are
neighborhoods
in
Arlington
that
have
historically
been
over
represented
in
Crash
data
and
underrepresented
in
responses
to
Transportation
related
safety
requests.
J
So
the
recommendations
create
this
path
forward
to
be
more
proactive
in
addressing
infrastructure
needs
with
that
Equity
lens.
It
creates
a
platform
to
prioritize
safety
projects
in
underserved
neighborhoods,
and
it
helps
us
to
ensure
that
reporting
channels
are
clear
and
accessible
to
every
Community
member
in
Arlington
and
then,
as
we
track
our
progress,
we
commit
to
reduce
and
rectify
these
disproportionalities
over
time.
J
So
you
know
the
vision's
ear
program
is
going
to
continue
to
prioritize
safety
projects
that
reduce
fatal
and
severe
crashes
first
and
foremost,
but
this
analysis
creates
a
path
forward
to
integrate
Equity
into
that
prioritization
process
and
ensure
there's
no
undue
burden
on
any
of
Arlington's
community
members.
A
Thank
you,
Ms
Baker.
Let
me
just
start
off
by
saying
I
mean
this
is
exactly
the
manifestation
of
of
sort
of
what
I,
I
and
I
think
we
all
hoped
when
we
introduced
Equity
as
a
framework
to
you
know
really
analyze
government
thinking
some
years
ago.
This
is
exactly
the
kind
of
inquiry
and
work
product
that
we
would
have
hoped
would
have
grown
from
it
and
I
just
can't
help,
but
remark
that
we
just
really
didn't
think
about
these
issues
in
this
way
until
the
board
took
that
step.
A
So
I,
just
like
to
you
know
thank
all
of
us
collectively
for
for
going
here,
because
this
is
a
significantly
important
body
of
work.
Thus
far
and
I
know
that
you
know
the
findings
are
still
being
explored
and
and
analyzed,
but
this
is
significant
already
a
question.
You
know
as
part
of
this
work
that
we
in
any
way
control
for
population
density,
with
the
base,
understanding
that
people
who
are
persons
of
color,
lower
income
tend
to
live
in
more
densely
populated
populated
areas
which
are
already
known
to
be.
J
A
Excellent
and
one
more
while
I
have
the
floor
so
as
it
comes
to
under
being
underrepresented
in
terms
of
requesting
Traffic,
Safety
improvements
or
reporting
issues
or
problems.
Aside
aside
from
that
analytical
observation,
do
we
have
any
hypotheses
as
to
why
that
may
be?
Have
we
uncovered
anything
that
we
can
look
at
or
are
we
still
exploring
that.
J
We
are
still
exploring
the
literature
review
kind
of
helped
to
confirm
some
of
the
suspicions
that
we
had
just
kind
of
on
a
general
level
where
you
know
often
people
who
might
be
working
multiple
jobs
might
not
have
time
to
go
online
and
find
a
portal
to
report
a
problem
or
might
not.
You
know,
have
that
capacity
or
bandwidth
to
be
able
to.
You
know,
be
super
civically
engaged.
J
You
know
to
be
at
public
meetings
or
you
know
know
who
to
write
to
so
that's
kind
of
our
suspicion
and
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
want
to
do
more.
You
know
pop-up
events
be
be
out
in
the
community,
be
where
people
are
to.
Let
them
know
hey.
If
you
have
a
problem,
you
can
report
it
to
somebody
like
there's
a
place.
You
can
go
so
yeah.
Those
are
kind
of
the
root
causes
that
we
heard
and
then
our
way
of
trying
to
kind
of
respond
to
it.
Yeah.
A
That's
why
I
love
Vision
zero
overall,
because
it
doesn't
really
require
us
to
rely
on
the
whole
squeaky
wheel,
complaint
driven
system,
but
to
look
proactively,
and
you
know,
I
think
this
is
really
a
great
case
study
as
to
why
that's
important
all
right
comments
from
everybody.
We'll
start
with
this
side
of
the
room,
Mr
Karen
Thomas.
Thank.
E
You
thank
you
Mr
chair.
Thank
you.
That's
awesome,
I
agree.
So
and
of
course
the
appetite
opens
right
to
see.
You
know
other
other
controlling
variables.
I
I
won't
go
so
much
for
for
density,
because
sometimes
identity
you
know,
makes
streets
safer.
You
know
people
when
they
walk,
for
example,
more.
They
are
different,
but
I
am
I.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
you
so
the
the
data
for
that
Etc
they
are
in
a
repository.
Are
they
available
for
for
public
who
work
if
somebody
wants
to?
E
J
J
Sure
the
layers
are
all
good
to
go,
but
the
intention
is
to
to
make
things
you
know
available
on
that
portal.
Yeah.
E
Especially
because
this
begins
now
to
be
a
template
for
how
we
evaluate
also
other
programs,
you
know
that
go
with
that,
like
complete
streets,
etc,
etc.
So
that's
that's
to
me
very,
very
interested
and
interesting.
So
really,
thank
you
for
your
work
on
this
I
I
look
forward.
One
last
thing
in
terms
of
the
of
data
generation
for
from
people
who
experience,
for
example,
close
calls
clothes
and
encounters
how
there
are
some
organizations
that
are
sourcing
these
data
from
their
members
or
for
people
who
are
affiliated
with
them.
Etc.
J
Do
have
some
of
those
near
miss.
You
know
publicly
sourced
data
sources
as
kind
of
a
support
for
the
work
that
we
do.
We
look
at
that,
and
you
know,
as
we
investigate
areas
to
learn
more.
We
do
when
we
have
our
hot
spot
analysis
include
hard
braking
data
which
is
from
a
big
data
source,
so
it's
less
biased
than
something
that
is
crowdsourced
and
that's
a
way
to
learn
more
about.
J
You
know
where
there
are
potential
crashes,
because
you
have
those
heartbreaking
movements,
so
that's
kind
of
a
more
quantitative
data
source
that
we've
been
able
to
rely
on
and
integrate
into
some
of
our
analysis
as
well
as
that,
other
you
know
more
qualitative
data
that
we
get
from
community
members
as
a
way
to
kind
of
do
cross-checks
and
quality
checks.
G
G
Yeah,
thank
you.
Well,
Mr,
chairs,
I
think
we
were
thinking
along
very
much
the
same
lines
that
Under
reporting
proportionally
just
jumped
out
at
me
too,
and
I
immediately
started
thinking,
squeaky
Wheels
in
Greece
same
thing,
although
I
think
the
metaphor
doesn't
quite
work
because
I
think
sometimes
the
wheel
is
not
squeaking
needs
the
grease
and
that's
kind
of
the
point
right
so
anyway,
I'd
like
to
really
thank
you
for
that.
G
I
think
we
really
this
sort
of
systemic
work,
we're
kind
of
getting
there
I
I,
wonder
sometimes
if
the
reason
we
have
Under
reporting
is
that
some
groups
of
people
are
just
every
time.
They've
tried
to.
You
know,
ask
for
something
they
get
ignored
or
not
listened
to,
or
they
don't
and
they
just
give
up,
and
you
have
whole
communities
that
that's
kind
of
the
culture-
that's
just
not
worth
it.
So
hopefully
we
can
change
that
as
well.
So
I
really
thank
you
for
doing
this.
G
D
D
Franti,
thank
you.
Mr,
chair
I,
want
to
thank
you,
Ms
Baker,
and
then
the
team
Mr
neighbors
you
arm
was
in
better
shape
when
I
saw
you
a
week
ago
and
so
I'm
very
sorry,
but
also
miss
Wang.
The
three
of
you
I
have
started
to
get
to
a
window
on
how
busy
your
life
is
and
how
many
you
know
the
spreadsheets
you're
working
with
the
hot
spots
and
just
a
big
thank
you.
D
I
particularly
think
it's
helpful
when
we're
able
to
I've
had
this
thing
about
counting
the
number
of
severe
crashes
and
fatalities,
and
this
PowerPoint
reflects
that,
and
it
also
was
reflected
in
our
conversation
and
that
helps
me
get
grounded
because
I'm
sometimes
on
this
I'm
into
the
details.
But
I
don't
want
to
be
out
of
the
appropriate
policy
maker
lens,
but
I
also
want
to
be
accountable
to
Residents.
D
So
the
honesty
that
you're
that
you've
shared
and
the
move
towards
this
piece
really
helps
me
a
lot
in
this
whole
area.
So
just
a
big
thank
you
on
that
I
will.
Probably
it
also
reminds
me
I
need
to
send
an
email
to
follow
up
on
that
meeting,
but
just
a
big
thank
you
and
I
I
also
have
not
yet
read
the
report
in
detail.
It's
sitting
for
me
to
read
so
I'll.
D
Do
that
as
an
interim
step
between
the
data
that
that
Mr
Karen
Thomas
was
suggesting
so
that
I
can
get
rooted,
because
it
is
quite
disconcerting
if
you're
trying
to
be
responsive,
but
then
you
think
to
yourself.
This
is
a
case
where
there's
a
there's.
We
cannot
be
all
things
to
every
intersection
all
the
time
and
so
do
want
to
keep
that
in
mind
as
I
try
to
sort
of
tow
the
appropriate
role
as
a
board.
Member
on
this
thanks.
F
One
reflection
which
was
I
believe
relatively
shortly
after
we
passed
the
equity
resolution
under
your
leadership
Mr
chair
in
2019
Transit
advocate
in
our
community,
had
introduced
me
to
in
a
meeting
one
of
the
transportation
staff
at
Oakland,
who
described
how
they
had
started
to
provide
their
City
Council
Members,
with
data
to
say
which
places
of
the
city
were
at
least
safe
and
and
more
safe.
And
unsurprisingly,
there
were
huge
racial
disparities
and
she
talked
at
the
time
about
how
it
had
really
empowered.
F
Their
counsel
and
I
am
just
so
glad
to
see
this
now
happening
in
Arlington,
County
I
think
many
of
us
kind
of
operated
on
the
hunch
that
there
were
inequities.
Certainly
it
would
be
consistent
with
what
we
know
about
nearly
other.
Every
other
facet
of
life
in
Arlington,
but
to
have
data
is
so
is
so
meaningful,
I
think,
particularly
because
Mr
different,
he
put
it
well.
F
We
cannot
be
everything
to
everyone
all
at
once
and
I
think
this
is
generally
speaking,
a
community
that
wants
to
do
the
right
thing
and
it
is
certainly
a
board
that
wants
to
do
the
right
thing,
and
so,
when
we
have
the
data
to
indicate
that
there
are
disparities
and
there
is
a
great
or
need
in
the
part
of
certain
parts
of
the
county
or
certain
areas
or
a
greater
need
to
listen
to
certain
voices
in
the
community
that
allows
for
a
really
actionable
path
forward,
so
so
pleased
to
see
it
I
think
it
represents
the
marrying
of
two
efforts
that
have
been
very
data
driven,
which
is
to
say
both
race
and
the
equity
work
that
Ms
bird
has
done
and
and
envision
zero
itself.
A
A
Mr
Schwartz:
do
you
have
any
other
items
for
your
report
this
afternoon?
That
is
it
okay.
So,
with
that
colleagues
I
moved
at
the
County
Board
convene
a
closed
meeting
is
authorized
by
Virginia
code,
section
2.2,
37
1183
for
the
purp
for
two
discussions
regarding
the
acquisition
and
disposition
of
real
property
for
a
public
purpose.
Where
discussion
in
an
open
meeting
would
adversely
affect
the
bargaining
position
or
negotiating
strategy
of
the
County
Board.
Is
there
a
second
properly
seconded
by
Ms
Garvey,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye
aye
new
post.
A
You
guys
have
it
boards
in
closed
session.
We
will
return
no
earlier
than
4
45
but
in
all
likelihood
five
o'clock
for
those
who
are
interested
in
the
consent
items
or
the
items
on
our
regular
hearing
tonight.
Those
will
be
heard
no
earlier
than
6
30
pm.
A
A
Colleagues,
I
moved
that
the
county
members
of
the
County
board
certified
that,
at
the
just
concluded
closed
session,
that
one
only
public
business
matters
lawfully
Exempted
from
open
meeting
requirements
under
chapter
37,
title
2.2
of
the
code
of
Virginia
and
two
only
such
public
business
matters
as
were
identified
in
the
motion
by
which
the
closed
meeting
was
convened.
Where
heard
discussed
or
considered
by
the
board.
Is
there
a
second
second
did
by
Miss
Garvey?
Will
the
clerk
please
call
the
roll
Mr.
L
A
A
A
Okay,
thank
you.
The
board
is
now
in
Open,
Session
wow
a
whole
lot
of
people
in
here
good
to
see
you
all
all
right,
Ms
Jacobs,
do
we
have
any
matters
requiring
the
board's
attention
at
this
time?
Yes,.
L
B
Yes,
yes,
we
are
Mr
chair
and
I'd
like
to
begin
by
saying
and
hearkening
back
to
Katie's
Irish
heritage.
I
staff
have
prepared
a
series
of
limericks
that
go
through
each
of
her
years
on
the
board,
so
you'll
have
to
bear
with
me.
Okay,
so
you
all
know
how
lyrics
work
2016.
her
tenure
began
with
things
to
prove
how
long
till
Katie
would
find
her
groove
in
her
first
year
on
the
board
she
wasn't
ignored.
Everything
went
so
perfectly
smooth,
2017.
B
B
B
B
Foreign
everyone
counts
with
a
census
near
you
bring
all
your
great
efforts
to
Bear
99
percent.
It's
great
how
it
went.
Despite
covid,
we
still
have
some
chair
2021.
In
a
month.
In
month,
12
housing
dreams
were
Aloft
with
a
super
deal
to
save
Barcroft
mix
in
many
vaccines.
Isn't
teams
a
dream?
Our
commercial
Market
gets
too
soft
2022.
B
Now
is
the
time
to
chair
take
two
with
the
covet
hangover.
What's
new
a
plan,
let's
adopt
it,
how
to
fund
non-profit
s
with
all
my
colleagues?
Well,
all
my
colleagues
see
it
through
2023
Katie
likes
affordable
housing,
which
has
led
to
some
Civic
browsing.
The
issue
was
complex,
a
wish
for
an
aplex.
Her
colleagues
did
a
lot
of
dowsing
and
now
too
soon
and
to
conclude
and
now
farewell
to
Katie
Crystal
with
two
apt
formed
Yiddish
Epistles
use
your
pistols
come
on.
That's
a
good
one!
A
Okay,
Miss
Patel
for
those
of
you
who
are
in
the
room
speaking
you
can
adjust
the
lectern
with
the
up
down
arrows
to
your
right.
Please
speak
clearly
into
the
microphone,
so
everyone
can
hear
you.
M
It's
in
common
today,
I
said
reflexively,
of
course,
yeah
yes,
I'm
in
talk
about
my
friend
Katie
you
got
it.
Then
I
figured
out
that
the
assignment
was
to
try
to
distill
everything.
You
did
everything
you've
done
in
eight
years
into
three
minutes
impossible,
so
I
called
Amina
and
I
said
yeah
I,
don't
know
how
this
is
supposed
to
be
done.
We're
going
to
need
to
rethink
this.
We're
gonna
need
to
have
a
conversation,
but
she
went
ahead
and
you
know
assuage
my
fears,
and
here
we
are
I
want
to
just
say
to
you.
M
We
became
Fast
Friends.
Her
spirit
is
infectious
she's,
smart,
she's
witty
you
know,
she's
easy
to
be
around
with
and
over
the
years
I.
Thank
you
friend
for
all
of
our
conversations
for
all
of
our
laughs
and,
of
course,
even
some
of
our
cries
I.
Thank
you
for
the
friendship
that
you've
shared
with
me.
There's
so
many
things
I
can
share
about
you,
Katie
there's
so
many
things
that
I
can
say.
M
That's
the
struggle
right,
that's
the
struggle
to
keep
it
within
this
time
frame
you
mean
so
much
to
so
many,
and
you
mean
so
much
to
me
and
my
family
and
today
I
wanted
to
share
a
story
about
you
that
few
know
and
I
hope
you
don't
mind
that
I
share.
M
It's
often
said
that
the
measure
of
a
person
is
not
where
they
stand
in
moments
of
comfort
and
convenience,
but
where
they
stand
in
Challenge
and
in
controversy
and
on
May
25th
2020.
That
was
one
of
those
moments.
In
the
wake
of
the
murder
of
George
Floyd
you,
my
friend,
showed
the
community.
Your
measure
and
I
will
never
forget
that,
whether
you
agree
people
here
with
her
policy
positions
or
not,
it
is
no
question
that
Katie
Crystal
loves
this
community
without
question
she's
from
Maryland,
and
she
has
a
Virginia
tattoo
on
her
shoulder.
M
She
loves
this
place.
Okay,
but
on
that
day
two
friends
spoke
devanti
and
Katie,
and
on
that
day
we
spoke
of
all
the
things.
My
friend
we
spoke
about
our
joint
grief
in
anguish.
We
spoke
about
the
hopes
for
our
two
boys,
Kingston
and
Carrie,
and
we
spoke
about
our
reinforcement
and
commitment
for
this
community
and
I
think
that
we
both
needed.
That
call
and
I
know
certainly
that
I
needed
to
have
that
call
with
my
friend
Katie
the
conversation
didn't
end
there
Katie,
you
understood
the
assignment
and
you
always
do
right.
M
You
focused
your
on
finding
a
project
that
was
meaningful
for
your
work
with
the
Unum
fund.
You
wanted
to
focus
on
systemic
harm
and
ultimately,
you
developed
the
idea
for
Shifting
the
County's
funding
practices
in
a
way
that
aligns
with
its
core
beliefs
of
transparency,
of
racial
equity
and
of
fairness.
You
knew
it
wasn't
going
to
be
easy,
but
anything
worth
doing.
Rarely
is
you
didn't
quit
and
ultimately
you
were
successful.
M
You
have
fought
for
so
many
things
here
in
Arlington,
Child,
Care,
Community,
safety,
transportation
and
Equity
Equitable
access
for
all,
you
never
walked
away
from
the
fight,
and
our
community
has
been
well
served
by
your
vision
and
your
perseverance
today
and
tomorrow
and
for
the
future
generations
to
come.
I
am
so
proud
to
call
you
my
friend
and
I
will
always
be
your
supporter.
M
I
cannot
wait
to
see
the
transformation
of
Tyson's
Corner
under
Katie,
Crystal's,
helm
and
I
remain
humbled
to
have
a
front
row
seat
to
your
continued
fight
to
change
the
world
not
only
for
Carrie
and
Kingston
and
Warren,
but
all
young
people
coming
up
behind
you.
Thank
you
for
your
service,
my
friend.
We
all
owe
you
a
debt
of
gratitude.
N
N
To
lean
into
this
whole
public
commenter
thing,
leading
to
a
string
of
weird
half-written
sets
of
remarks
why
Katie
Crystal's
departure
from
Arlington
County
Board
is
inconsistent
with
not
just
the
comprehensive
plan
of
Arlington
Virginia,
but
all
11
elements
of
the
comprehensive
plan
of
Arlington,
Virginia
I
wasn't
consulted
and
it's
happening
too
fast.
N
Katie
Crystal's
departure
from
the
County
Board
as
a
case
study
in
the
failures
of
the
Arlington
Way,
the
sound
of
sucking
forecasting,
the
consequences
of
Miss
Crystal's
departure
on
various
Regional
governmental
bodies
and
the
Commonwealth
of
Virginia
in
the
greater
DC
area
and
short
reliant
on
non-renewable
sources
of
energy
and
devoid
of
bird-friendly
glass.
Katy
crystal
is
the
kind
of
development
Arlington
needs
to
move
Beyond
to
meet
our
climate
change
goals.
N
N
Katie
changed
my
whole
world
view
of
what
a
politician
could
be
no
offense
to
present
company,
but
there
are
certain
troubling
and
off-putting
similarities.
Amongst
many
of
you
all.
My
first
interaction
with
Katie
was
an
email
in
May
of
2015..
She
reached
out
to
me
and
Henry
Dunbar
wanting
to
talk
about
Transportation.
After
a
lot
of
scheduling
gymnastics,
mostly
trying
to
work
around
my
child
care
schedule,
we
met
up
William,
Jeffrey,
Tavern
and
I
expected
here's.
Why
you
should
support
me.
N
Hard,
sell
I
expected
her
to
either
be
an
expert
on
Transportation
policy
or
more
likely
to
be
trying
to
seem
like
an
expert
on
Transportation
policy
in
Arlington.
Instead,
I
got
beautiful,
beautiful
honesty.
She
said
when
it
comes
to
Transportation
I
know
what
I
value
I
value,
multi-modality,
I
value,
walkability,
I
value,
convenient,
Transit
and
I
value
being
able
to
get
around
without
a
car
I,
don't
know
what
Arlington
needs
to
get
there,
but
I'm
pretty
sure
you
two
do
and
we
gave
her
some
ideas
and
she
asked
some
Wicked.
N
Less
than
a
week
later,
I
contributed
to
her
campaign
and
went
as
all
in
as
I
could
with
a
three-year-old
and
a
five-year-old
at
home,
trying
to
make
sure
she
ended
up
on
the
Coney
board
and
wouldn't
you
know
it
and
I
have
no
regrets
whatsoever.
N
I
won't
go
too
into
her
accomplishments.
Many
of
you
know
them
better
than
I.
Do
whether
fighting
for
an
important
Trail
study
in
the
CIP
managing
an
important
leadership
transition
at
VRE,
breaking
down
barriers
to
affordable
child
care
or
going
head-to-head
with
the
road
lobby
at
nvta?
Katie
has
been
getting
things
done
around
here,
but,
as
the
business
of
the
board
has
shifted
in
recent
years
from
primarily
site
plans
and
sector
plans
and
capital
projects,
you
know
the
fun
stuff
to
weightier
matters.
N
Grayer
matters
more
personal
matters,
whether
racial
Justice
or
police
oversight,
affordable
housing
management
or
food
security,
a
mental
health
crisis
or
piloting
a
locality
through
a
pandemic.
I
have
rested,
easier,
felt,
more
secure
and
cared
for
breathed
easier.
Knowing
that
that
same
mind
that
knew
what
she
valued
that
asked
the
smart
questions
that
care
deeply
about
doing.
The
right
thing
was
on
this
dice
in
those
meetings
trying
to
do
the
best.
Damn
thing
that
she
could
for
Arlington
Katie,
you
are
irreplaceable,
do
not
be
a
stranger.
O
Arlington
has
been
fortunate
to
have
you
Katie
Crystal
I
had
the
benefit
of
working
directly
with
Katie
for
her
first
two
years
on
the
board,
which
validated
that
she
is
wise
and
thoughtful
Beyond.
Her
years,
Katie
is
one
of
the
two
most
articulate
members
ever
to
sit
up
on
the
Diocese
of
the
County
Board.
The
other
one
is
currently
in
the
middle
of
the
diocese,
her
Compadre
Christian
Dorsey
I'll.
Let
all
of
you
know
that
running
together
on
a
ticket
which
they've
done
a
couple
times
for
re-election,
leads
to
one
of
two
things.
O
She
asks
poignant
questions
and
synthesizes
complicated
issues
with
Katie
coming
to
the
board
came
a
new
and
generally
healthy,
Millennial
Sensibility
Katie
has
an
ease
with
Twitter
and
other
social
media,
for
example,
that
some
of
her
past
colleagues
worked
hard
to
avoid.
Okay,
Katie
has
a
directness.
That
was
sometimes
unexpected
for
a
politician.
O
O
O
O
All
important
traditions
them
not
all
would
agree.
Katie
helped
to
evolve
the
fabled
Arlington
Way,
bringing
a
wider
range
of
voices
to
the
politics
policy.
Discussions
of
the
day
in
just
seven
and
a
half
years,
Katie
made
her
Mark
in
many
policy
areas,
especially
you've
heard
about
them.
Daycare,
Transportation,
housing
and
I
also
know
for
a
fact
that
she
represented
Arlington
well
on
the
regional
stage.
O
She
was
capable
strong,
informed,
collaborative
and
Advance
the
values
this
community
represents
and
the
best
news
that
all
those
skills,
all
that
time
governing
here
in
Arlington
won't
be
for
Waste
it'll,
be
brought
to
bear
in
advancing
a
huge
part
of
our
region,
Tyson's
no
longer
just
a
corner
and
just
next
door
as
well.
So
Katie,
it's
been
a
pleasure,
it
will
be
a
pleasure.
Thank
you.
Arlington
is
a
better
place
for
your
time
in
our
community's
leadership.
L
A
D
D
This
Crystal's
Integrity
with
respect
to
service
on
this
board
is
encapsulated
for
me
and
how
she
greeted
me
to
the
board,
stating
that
the
peaceful
transition
of
power
is
a
highlight
of
our
democracy.
At
my
swearing
in
her
diligence
for
me
was
best
summed
up
by
you.
Mr
Dorsey
is
when
you
nominated
her
to
be
chair
in
2017,
and
you
stated
effusively
that
Katie
had
earned
the
job
of
chair
through
her
preparation
and
hard
work
in
the
preceding
years.
D
D
D
I
want
to
just
recognize
that
perhaps
for
me
at
this
moment
the
most
memorable
thing
that
Katie
ever
said
in
this
room
was
when
she
said
and
pricelessly
Steve's
had
to
leave
the
room,
I
think.
But
she
said
my
service
is
possible
because
of
Steve
and
so
he's
not
here,
but
for
the
video
please
give
Steve
a
hand
for
what
he
has
done
to
me.
D
D
E
Oh
yes,
Mr
chair
what
a
day
frankly,
I
don't
know
how
to
celebrate
that
this
is
Bittersweet
and
for
now
I
just
am
a
little
bit
bitter,
because
I
think
you
know,
I
hear
the
community
that
you're
I
mean
Mr
Slatt
forgot
to
mention
that
your
departure,
besides
that
has
has
not
been
really
consulted
with
the
community.
The
impulse
haven't
been
studied
sufficiently
and,
and
you
know,
infrastructure
and
other
things
are
very,
very
important
right.
E
But
besides
that
I
think
there
are
impacts
on
that.
We
will
miss
a
lot
of
things
and
I
will
miss
mostly
a
let
me
I
I
was
thinking
how
to
summarize
who
Katie
is
for
me.
You
know
I'm
the
junior
board
member
here
so
so
Katie
is
actually
to
me.
Everything
is
about
Connections.
E
Katie
is
really
about
connecting
stuff
connecting
Concepts
connecting
policies
connecting
proposals
to
Solutions
Etc.
So
you
know
Transit
and
housing.
For
example
right
you
connect
that
housing
and
Equity
you
connected
that.
You
know
equity
and
child
care.
You
connected
that.
The
very
point
was
to
deliver
connection
to
deliver
the
public
perception
that
there
is
a
connection
between
things
that
we
haven't.
E
As
a
community
always
understood
how
to
connect
them,
feasibility
and
ambition,
Grace
and
Justice,
Amazon
and
affordability,
right,
Rail
and
region,
so
I
can
I
have
a
very
long
list
about
these
connections,
and
this
to
me
always
was
a
fascinating
part
of
who
you
are
okay.
You
know
what
doesn't
connect
is
a
problem
for
you.
E
The
definition
of
a
problem,
for
you
is
a
policy
failure
for
you
is
when
you
cannot
find
the
other
element
that
that
can
be
leveraged
to
find
a
solution
to
address
an
issue
when
the
connection
is
not
there,
Katie
will
raise
a
hand
and
say
wait
a
minute.
How
does
this
connect
and
she
was
not
going
to
stop
and
if
we
find
a
way
to
to
find
a
connection,
and
that
doesn't
mean
that
you
know
that
doesn't
mean
that
you're
always
right
about
the
Lord,
but
I
will
agree
with
that.
E
What
I
found
as
an
amazing
contribution
to
this
County
and
to
the
political
discourse
of
this
country
or
policy
discourse
of
this
County
was
your
fantastic
ability
to
create
to
State
and
to
construct
the
context
around
the
issues
and
therefore
energize
far
more
people,
far
more
voices
Etc.
E
It's
not
only
about
inviting
other
voices
into
this
conversation,
it's
actually
about
empowering
them,
giving
them
context
to
work
on,
and
you
did
that
throughout
these
eight
years
in
a
brilliant
way-
and
you
have
been
a
brilliant
colleague
to
me-
and
this
is
why
I'm
relatively
bitter,
that
you
that
you
go
you
make
mistakes,
I
mean
you
know,
look
at
going
to
Tyson's.
For
example,
I,
don't
know
what.
C
E
I
mean
I,
don't
know
what
connects
in
Tysons
really
I
mean
they're,
trying
hard
think
they
got
better,
but
you
know
really
connection
right.
No,
no
so
I
I
think
that
there
is
a
significant
loss
for
us
today.
Intellectual
Capital
experience,
skill
compassion,
this
smart
and
not
love
for
Arlington,
which
I
really
felt
to
be
a
very
real
thing:
Charis
and
Steve's.
You
know
Shadow
a
policy
quarterbacking
all
the
time
you
know,
I
I
really
really
cared
about
lead
goals.
E
Lead
with
ea
Katie,
definitely
is
lead
gold
going
for
platinum
now
and
I'm
extremely
excited
to
see
how
this
works
and
plays
out.
We
will
be
here
to
admire
and
applaud
you.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
what
you
did
to
this
community.
If
you
do
this,
for,
if
you
do
four
Tysons
what
you
did
for
Arlington,
we
will
be
in
a
fantastic
region
here.
Thank
you.
P
G
We
have
sword,
I
mean
it's
just
amazing.
What's
gone
on
and
we've
been
through,
you
know,
tasted
a
lot
of
bitter.
There
have
been
some
rough
times,
2020
being
one
of
the
roughest
ones,
but
I
won't
go
into
that
I.
So
if
you,
you
know,
do
one
of
these
things,
I'm
not
going
to
try
to
encapsulate
who
you
are
or
anything
like
that,
but
there
are
two
things
that
jump
into
mind
for
whatever
reason
for
me
about
working
our
time
together.
So
the
first
one
is
hedgehogs.
G
She
remembered
the
Hedgehogs
all
right.
So
there
was
that
animal
thing,
so
we
were
cool
with
the
Bears
and
the
Lions
and
the
Tigers.
You
really
just
couldn't
do
that
in
Arlington.
That
was
a
bad
idea,
but
when
it
got
to
hedgehogs
hedgehogs
were
controversial.
We
spent
a
lot
of
time
together
on
hedgehogs
and
I
even
gave
her
a
little
stuffed
Hedgehog,
which
I
and
then
it
was
so
cute.
I
got
one
for
myself,
which
I
still
have
anyway.
G
So
that's
one
of
my
first
that's
one
of
my
first
memories
and
then
the
next
one.
Really.
That
was
very
significant
really
for
me.
Even
as
an
elected
official
is
child
care,
because
I
was
raising
my
children
at
a
time
when
there
just
wasn't
much
child
care,
it
was
really
tough.
In
fact,
I
just
didn't
even
do
it.
G
I
stayed
home
with
the
kids,
I
didn't
I,
just
didn't,
do
it,
I
couldn't
figure
it
out
and
then
I
used
to
get
upset
about
it
and
angry,
and
then
I
got
busy
with
things
and
then
suddenly
my
children
come
along
and
oh
my
God
they're
parenting
and
they
still
have
the
same
problem.
G
It
was
just
really
distressing
to
see
and
I
will
say
to
some
extent.
I
was
falling
victim
to
being
an
older
person
and
I
just
was
kind
of
given
up
it's
real.
You
know,
and
then
you
came
along
and
decided
to
make
it
and
at
first,
when
you
would
make
child
care.
G
I
said
all
right,
I'm
gonna
try
this
well,
it's
not,
it
never
works,
and
then
so
you
know
might
work
am
I
and
actually
we
haven't
solved
it,
but
I
am
still
on
child
care,
because
I
think
it's
one
of
the
major
things
we
need
to
do
in
this
community.
I
said
it
here:
I
mean
I've,
said
it
before
any
community
that
provides
good,
high
quality
child
care,
for
everybody
in
the
community
is
going
to
succeed
and
Thrive,
because
that's
what
families
and
that's
what
people
need.
G
So
thank
you
for
doing
that
and
everything
else,
I
think
as
I
think
it
was
Jay.
That
said,
you
know
you,
you
really
have
left
I,
think
you're
leaving
the
county
better
than
you
found
it
you're,
leaving
the
board
better
than
you
found
it,
and
you
will
leave
Tyson's
better
than
you
find
it,
which
maybe
is
not
as
having
a
lift
and
I,
really
look
forward
to
watching
what
you
do
with
Tyson's
and
what
you
do
after
that.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
being
here
with
us.
A
A
We
kid
because
we
love
so
bittersweet,
it's
a
good
term.
You
know
I've
had
this
wonderful
experience
of
being
a
candidate
for
this
office
running
alongside
cadius
or
de
facto
running
mate,
to
having
had
the
privilege
of
being
sworn
in
together
for
this
office,
not
once
but
twice
and
fully
expecting
going
into
this
year
after
we,
both
independently
made
decisions
that
we
wouldn't
seek
re-election,
that
we
would
enjoy
in
December
the
last
opportunity
to
serve
together.
A
Fact
that
you
were
resigning
to
get
your
own
moment
in
the
sun
is
a
little
bit
drastic
Katie
a
little
bit
drastic,
but
you
deserve
this
singular
moment.
It
has
truly
been
a
privilege
and
an
honor
to
Bear
witness
and
to
be
along
for
the
ride
of
your
public
service
Journey
since
those
fateful
days
of
2015.,
remembering
those
days
as
I
have
done.
Wistfully
often
recently
does
induce
some
cringe
cringe-inducing
Nostalgia
I
mean
we
really
had
no
idea
what
the
heck
the
next
eight
years
would
bring.
A
Those
were
your
promises
to
the
community
as
a
candidate
and
as
a
public
servant,
you
have
more
than
delivered
on
all
of
the
promise
that
you
brought
then
and
I
know
that
you
can
take
great
pride
and
you
should
in
the
work
that
you've
done
on
the
child
care
initiative
and
co-chairing
project
piece
and
implementing
or
working
to
implement,
non-profit
funding
reform.
Your
leadership
of
nvtc
nbtc,
your
incredible
leadership
throughout
the
region
on
Transportation
issues,
the
complete
count
committee,
VRE
operation,
sport.
A
All
of
these
things
that
are
a
part
of
your
bio
and
resume
are
important.
Accomplishments
do
take
great
pride
in
them,
but
I
I
have
to
say,
as
I
reflect
on
your
service
I'm
not
going
to
think
of
those
things.
First,
I
find
myself
being
grateful
very
much
in
the
way
that
Mr
Slatt
presented
at
all
of
the
ways
in
which
you
have
been
in
the
room
and
on
the
dice
for
issues
big
and
small,
for
ones
that
were
widely
public
or
those
that
had
scant
Niche
interest.
A
A
A
A
I
show
up
bus
boys
and
Poets
and
I'm
told
Katie
won't
be
coming
she's
in
the
hospital
she's
in
labor
I'm
like
what
like
what
happened,
and
so
this
happened
this
this
beautiful,
beautiful
boy
and
the
point
of
this
story
is
that
scarcely
a
week
later,
as
you'll
recall,
what
did
we
have
a
board
meeting
scheduled
and
this
wasn't
any
board
meeting.
This?
Was
the
Amazon
board
meeting
yeah,
see
that's
all
I
needed
to
say,
but
more
important
to
the
point
for
Katie
there
were
a
few
different
priorities
that
were
incredibly
important
to
her.
A
We
were
doing
phase
one
of
the
child
care
initiative
and
we
were
doing
amendments
to
the
county
code
chapters
52
and
59.
Remember
that
and
so
less
than
a
week
passed-
and
you
know,
without
going
into
too
many
details,
Katie
would
have
been
well
within
her
prerogative
and
it
would
have
been
well
understood
if
she
had
sat
that
meeting
out
to
not
only
care
for
herself
physically
but
to
care
about
beautiful
Carrie.
A
But
no
she
wanted
to
participate
in
the
meeting
in
any
way
that
she
possibly
could,
and
so
she
participated
telephonically
for
the
entirety
of
the
meeting.
Offering
great
comments
and
insights
even
offered
an
amendment
that
was
an
except
that
was
accepted
by
the
board,
and
it
just
shows
that
no
matter
what
circumstance,
if
the
issues
are
of
importance
and
matter,
Katie
is
going
to
be
in
the
room,
contributing
to
our
doing
hopefully
great
work
and
it's
something
that
I
will
be
in
awe
of
forevermore.
A
A
F
F
I
brought
that
with
me
too.
You
know,
even
in
the
most
emotional
moments,
I
think
about
our
first
meeting
without
our
colleague
Eric
gutshall
or
my
chairs
report.
Recognizing
the
passing
of
Carrie
Johnson
I
still
have
this
belief
that,
as
a
board,
member
I
would
be
perceived
as
more
effective.
I
would
be
more
effective
if
I
could
just
minimize
my
emotional
reactions.
F
I
found
my
proclivity
to
get
choked
up
mortifying,
but
when
I
look
around
at
the
new
political
reality,
eight
years
later,
I
see
beds
of
State
like
just
into
Arden
or
Cory
Booker's
presidential
run
and
I
realized
that
emotion
and
politics
is
no
longer
mutually
exclusive,
with
being
a
serious
leader.
So
a
little
bit
belatedly
I
would
like
to
take
just
a
few
of
my
last
minutes
as
a
board
member
to
talk
about
my
feelings.
F
I
want
to
talk
first
about
Pride,
specifically
The
Pride,
that
I
feel
in
this
region
when
we
act
collectively
the
transit
accomplishments
of
the
last
six
or
seven
years,
and
also
less
showy
work
like
working
with
regional
leaders
in
2017
to
help
incubate
and
get
funded
a
regional
sexual
assault
and
intimate
partner,
violence,
forensic
unit
I.
Don't
think
I've
done
enough,
maybe
in
my
tenure
here
to
emphasize,
when
I'm
back
within
our
26
square
miles.
What
an
extraordinary
asset
this
region
and
our
relationships
within
it
are
to
the
average
everyday
arlingtonian.
F
I
feel
a
lot
of
Pride
when
it
comes
to
a
group
of
people
for
whom
I
can
take
no
credit,
because
I
am
in
fact
firewalled
from
individually
directing
them,
which
is
to
say
the
Arlington
County
staff.
Every
day.
I
am
just
blown
away
by
your
determination
and
Your
Excellence,
and
your
commitment
to
collaborating
with
the
community
I
have
seen
this
in
every
corner
of
the
Enterprise
from
the
water
sewer
streets,
Bureau
to
the
Child
Welfare
Bureau
from
the
public
library
to
Public
Health,
and
it
has
been
an
honor
to
be
your
colleague.
F
F
F
The
summer
of
2020
was
one
where
emotions
ran
high.
We
I
had
so
many
conversations
that
summer
and
what
I
heard
from
so
many
bipod
Community
leaders
and
members
was
exhaustion
at
how
much
Arlington
still
needed
to
change
and
how
little
it
had
and
I
will
tell
you
that
I
felt
shame
at
being
a
leader
in
a
system
that
was
still
marked
by
structural
racism
and
that
I
had
done
so
little
to
challenge
it.
During
my
watch.
F
Well,
the
rest,
as
they
say,
is
history,
but
as
to
the
latter,
I
feel
not
only
resolved,
but
so
much
gratitude
to
the
United
Way
of
the
national
capital
area
and
to
the
e
pluribus
unum.
The
partners
who
supported
us
and
trying
to
make
those
structural
changes
and,
above
all,
to
the
bipod
Community
leaders,
who
hoped
co-create
the
new
approach.
F
Your
honesty
when
I
was
getting
it
wrong
on
public
engagement
made
your
partnership
in
getting
it
I
hope
right.
So
much
more
meaningful
and
I
am
so
grateful,
especially
to
have
served
during
this
moment
with
our
chair
Christian
and
with
our
chief
Equity
officer
Samia,
from
whom,
both
of
whom
have
the
most
extraordinary
gift
for
translating
Equity
into
policy
and
policy
into
equity.
I
have
learned
so
much
from
both
of
you.
F
F
It's
hard
to
remember
that
our
first
year
in
office
overlapped
with
the
Obama
administration,
because
so
Mark
is
our
tenure
by
trying
to
respond
to
the
unprecedented
unprecedentedly
chaotic
and
cruel
Trump
Administration
and
what
it
meant
for
our
residents.
I'm
really
proud
that
we
as
a
board,
tried
to
rise
to
the
challenges
of
those
years.
We
provided
legal
services
to
mixed
status
and
undocumented
families.
We
worked
as
a
region
and
locality
to
try
to
provide
clear
information
during
a
politicized
global
pandemic.
F
F
F
F
Speaking
as
I
was
at
the
top
of
the
marks
about
Jacinda
ardern,
her
beautiful
Pharaoh,
farewell
remarks
in
New
Zealand
earlier
this
year,
really
resonated
with
me
particularly
her
Reflections
that
the
path
we
travel
will
not
be
linear
and
it
won't
always
be
easy,
but
for
the
part
of
the
trail,
I
had
the
privilege
of
leading
I'm
proud.
We
took
on
the
hilly
bits.
F
Undoubtedly
this
past
year,
in
particular,
has
been
full
of
hilly
bits,
but
I
want
to
live
in
and
I
want
my
son
to
grow
up
in
a
community
that
doesn't
turn
back
when
the
path
gets
steep.
What
all
of
the
tumult
of
the
past
year
has
taught
us-
or
at
least
taught
me-
is
that
bridges
that
are
built
without
a
deep
understanding
of
the
shores
on
both
sides
and
the
chasm
between
them
are
not
structurally
sound.
F
Our
community
has
now
really
engaged
with
the
divergences
of
perspective
that
we're
always
there
and
the
bridges
that
we
build
going
forward
will
be
stronger
for
it
and
the
activation
of
so
many
arlingtonians.
The
coalitions
formed
during
those
roughest
patches
of
the
trail
and
moments
of
genuine
understanding
of
perspectives
of
neighbors,
who
were
living
really
different
lives
from
one
another.
That
brings
me
so
much
hope,
because
we
will
need
those
coalitions,
those
joinings
of
New
Perspectives
and
the
wisdom
of
the
old
perspectives
to
continue
tackling
our
biggest
affordability
challenges.
F
We
put
some
wins
on
the
scoreboard
for
affordable
housing
over
the
past
seven
years,
whether
it's
thousands
of
new,
committed,
affordable
units
in
high
opportunity
areas
or
protecting
thousands
of
garden
apartment
units
from
being
redeveloped
into
luxury,
housing
and
Barcroft,
and
before
that
in
Westover.
But
we
have
barely
scratched
the
surface
of
meeting
the
need
of
our
community,
and
the
same
is
true
with
child
care.
F
Finally,
I
want
to
talk
about
gratitude
and
here's
where
I
get
to
further
make
good
on
my
promise
about
getting
emotional.
Oh
I
want
to
just
begin
with
my
colleagues
Matt.
Your
empathy
is
unmatched
among
any
elected
official
I
have
ever
met.
You
really
are
the
beating
and
bleeding
heart
of
this
team
and
your
deep
love
for
Arlington
and
your
desire
to
do
right
by
it
are
amazing
and
such
an
asset
to
this
community.
F
How
well
you
understand
and
your
passion
for
how
environmentalism
and
biophilia
and
housing
and
transportation
all
fit
together,
and
it's
just
been
such
an
asset
to
this
board.
I've
really
enjoyed
working
with
you,
Libby
from
you,
I
have
learned
so
much
about
an
area
where
I
know
the
least,
which
is
the
importance
of
not
rushing
watching.
You
I've
really
come
to
learn
the
value
of
building
interpersonal
connections
to
make
space
for
small
talk
and
relationship
building.
Instead
of
just
trying
to
get
straight
down
to
brass
tacks.
F
It's
you've
helped
me
realize,
because
people
and
their
feelings
really
matter
a
lot
and
your
capacity
for
taking
the
Long
View.
Sometimes
the
really
Long
View,
like
with
the
fourth
turning
in
the
years
of
History,
that's
really
been
a
needed
counter,
because
this
work
can
feel
so
urgent
that
it
borders
on
myopic
and
I
really
appreciated
that
all
right,
let
me
gather
myself:
Christian
Dorsey,
your
political
and
your
policy
partnership
and
your
friendship
have
been
among
the
most
meaningful
parts
of
this
journey.
F
I'm
gonna,
stop
there
both
so
I,
don't
lose
it
yet,
but
also
because
I'm
gonna
have
more
to
say
in
December
when
we
come
back
and
get
to
do
this,
for
you
I
want
to
say
a
few
things
used
to
the
others
on
this
dice
as
well.
Minchao.
Your
superlative
advice
has
not
only
kept
us
out
of
trouble.
It's
helped
us
make
better
policy.
I
know
that
you
felt
as
much
as
I
did
that
Steve
mcisaac
left
big
shoes
to
fill
and
you
have
more
than
exceeded
them
and
I've
so
appreciated.
Working
together.
F
Thank
you
for
not
only
your
indispensable
service
and
your
thought
partnership
to
me,
but
also
for
modeling
to
me
what
it
looks
like
to
lead
as
a
manager
and
to
empower
a
high
performing
team
in
a
culture
of
mutual
mutual
respect
to
Kendra
and
especially
to
the
whole
of
the
board
office
that
organized
today
you
all
are
the
best
combination
of
policy,
smarts
and
communication
skills
and
genuinely
fun.
Colleagues.
F
F
So
many
of
you
honestly
looking
you
all
of
you
have
advised
me
you've
held
me
accountable,
you've
celebrated
with
me
and
you've
mourned
with
me.
You
have
banged
your
heads
against
brick
Wallace
with
me
sometimes,
and
you
have
made
this
the
most
incredible
place
in
which
to
serve
and
to
live.
Thank
you,
Steve
and
Carrie.
Thank
you
for
your
patience.
While
I
pursued
this
dream,
I
can't
wait
to
spend
more
time
being
your
wife
and
your
mom.
C
F
Right,
thank
you
for
the
comic
relief
dude.
That's
also,
that's
him
giving
me
the
wrap-up
signal,
so
inclusion
in
closing.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity,
by
which
I
mean
the
opportunity
to
speak
and
it's
such
length
and
to
emote
to
the
extent
I
still
Harbor
discomfort
about
public
displays
of
emotion,
so
that
they
can
feel
self-indulgent,
and
you
all
have
really
indulge
me
here,
but
by
opportunity.
I
also
mean
to
say
thank
you
for
the
extraordinary
opportunity
that
all
of
the
Arlington
Community
has
afforded
me
to
serve.
A
So
we
are
a
public
body,
so,
of
course
we
have
a
proclamation
good.
Thank
you
and
I'll
spare
you,
the
numerous
Preparatory
Clauses
of
which
there
are
one
two,
three
four
five,
six
seven
so
I
will
spare
you
seven
of
them,
but
one
of
them
has
not
been
mentioned
in
any
way
or
alluded
to
during
the
course
of
our
conversation
tonight.
So
I
will
do
that
before
proclaiming
what
it
is.
I
get
the
honor
of
proclaiming.
A
So
this
is
a
proclamation
titled
commending
The,
Honorable,
Katie
Crystal
for
her
service
is
an
Arlington
County,
Board
member
and
it
begins.
Whereas
The
Honorable,
Katie
Crystal,
selected
to
the
Arlington
County
Board
in
2015
and
upon
assuming
office,
was
the
youngest
woman
to
ever
serve
on
the
Arlington
County
Board
and
was
re-elected
in
2019..
A
A
Thank
you
and
going
back
to
one
of
the
lessons
that
we
learned
very
early
on
from
our
mentor
and
colleague
Jay
facet
about
the
economy
with
which
the
board
operates.
A
We
are
not
ones
for
like
gifts
and
shall
we
ostentatious
displays,
but
one
of
the
things
that
we
do
do
upon
the
Ascension
of
each
chair
is
to
recognize
the
past
chair
with
with
a
gavel,
a
commemorative
gavel,
and
that
is
a
tradition.
That's
well
served
each
and
every
person
who
completes
their
year
of
chair
gets
a
gavel
that
looks
somewhat
like
one
that
another
chair
has
received,
but
on
this
the
occasion
of
someone
departing,
we
all
decided
to
do
something
that
could
be
Uniquely,
Yours
and
Uniquely
Yours
forevermore.
A
So
first
I
would
like
to
invite
the
County
Board
team
to
come
on
up
Mason
Kushner
Kathy
kiami
O'malley
Amina,
eight
Bella
Stevie
Kelly
David
Barrera,
Sandra,
calixto,
Mendoza,
Graham
weinshank,
who
I
saw
earlier,
but
who
is
no
longer
here?
Please
everybody
come
on
up,
because
this
was
a
collective
labor
of
love
of
the
CBO
office
and
Kendra,
of
course,
stand
up
to
make
sure
you
got
something.
That
would
never
be
replicated
to
everybody
else,
at
least
in
terms
of
its
contents,
so
Katie.
Congratulations!
This
scrapbook
commemorating
your
years
of
service.
A
A
Board
is
now
out
of
recess
and
we'll
resume
an
open
session
tonight.
We'll
have
consideration
one
item
from
our
consent
agenda,
as
well
as
a
couple
of
public
hearing
items.
A
regular
hearing
items.
Excuse
me
if
you
are
here
as
part
of
speaking
in
person
on
either
our
consent
agenda
or
regular
hearing
items.
Please
address
the
lectern
by
coming
up
and
you
can
adjust
it
to
a
height
that
may
suit
your
preference
by
using
the
up
and
down
arrows
that
are
located
to
the
right.
A
You
don't
need
to
touch
any
other
buttons,
but
do
please
speak
clearly
into
the
microphone,
so
the
board
can
clearly
hear
your
testimony
if
you
do
have
documents
that
you

all
documents.
With
that
said,
we
are
ready
to
begin
with.
First
consideration
of
our
consented
agenda
item:
Ms
Jacobs.
Will
you
please
call
that.
L
Yes,
our
first
item
is
item
number
14,
A
and
B.
Our
requests
associated
with
the
interim
use
to
support
short-term
parking
needs
for
the
Arlington
career
center,
including
an
amendment
to
a
glove
facility
plan
and
table
a
rezoning
from
R5
and
C2
to
s3a
and
a
use
permit
for
commercial
parking
in
the
s3a
zoning
District.
Q
Good
evening,
I'm
Aaron
Schreiber,
with
the
planning
Division
I,
will
be
presenting
on
behalf
of
my
colleague,
Emma
Martin,
who
is
out
of
the
office
today.
These
items
all
pertain
to
the
3108
Columbia
Pike
property.
It
involves
three
applications,
one
the
first
one
is
a
glup
Amendment,
and
the
purpose
of
this
is
to
identify
a
publicly
owned
parking
area
as
a
feature
shown
on
the
public
facility
map.
Q
The
second
item
is
a
rezoning
of
the
property
from
the
R5
and
C2
District
to
the
s3a
district,
and
the
third
item
is
a
use
permit
for
a
commercial
parking
lot.
The
purpose
of
this
is
to
provide
an
interim
use
of
this
site
in
support
of
our
Arlington
Public
Schools
parking
needs
during
the
Redevelopment
of
the
Arlington
Career
Center.
In
our
evaluation
of
these
applications.
Q
We
have
found
that
these
proposals
are
consistent
with
adopted
plans
and
policies,
including
the
purpose
of
the
county
board's
approval
of
a
purchase
and
sale
agreement
from
February
February
of
2022,
as
well
as
the
adopted
CIP
plan,
which
does
identify
this
property
overall.
This
will
provide
approximately
90
parking
spaces
as
an
interim
use
that
will
support
APS.
Q
As
parking
needs,
but
the
county
and
its
acquisition
of
this
property
did
identify
this
as
an
interim
use,
but
recognize
that
there
were
longer
term
public
uses
of
the
site,
including
things
such
as
a
new
home
for
a
Columbia,
Pike,
Branch
library
and
other
public
uses
such
as
affordable
housing.
Those
long-term
uses
will
be
determined
by
the
county
at
a
later
date.
This
item
are
the
rezoning
and
the
club
Amendment
were
heard
by
the
Planning
Commission.
Both
items
were
recommended
for
approval.
Q
Following
the
publishing
of
the
staff
report,
we
did
hear
from
one
citizen
in
concern
to
our
Express
regarding
to
Historic
significance
of
the
building,
as
well
as
potential
adaptive.
Reuse
opportunities
at
the
site
in
response
to
those
I
would
state
that
the
property
is
not
listed
on
the
County's
historic
resources
inventory
again.
Q
I
would
reiterate
that
the
property
was
acquired
specifically
to
support
interim
and
long-term
uses,
which
also
included
funding
for
the
demolition
of
the
building
and
Redevelopment
of
the
site,
as
proposed
here
and
then
also
in
which
I
think
the
applicant
may
be
able
to
speak
to
more
effectively
than
me.
But
we
do
know
that
the
building
is
not
structurally
sufficient
to
support
adaptive
reuse
activities
in
a
manner.
That's
either
cost
effective
or
fully
utilizing
the
site
in
its
entirety.
Q
Therefore,
the
county
manager
does
recommend
approval
of
all
three
items,
including
the
club
Amendment.
The
rezoning
and
the
use
permit.
I
do
have
other
staff
members
from
the
planning
division
available
virtually
who
could
speak
to
this
item
as
well
as
the
applicant
from
the
Department
of
Environmental
Services.
That
would
conclude
our
stat
presentation.
Thank
you.
A
L
A
Correct
okay!
Thank
you!
So
continuing
on
I
understand
the
Planning
Commission
as
weighed
in
on
this,
so
miss
Peterson.
Welcome
back.
R
Again,
Planning
Commission
that
we
heard
this
item
at
our
May
31st
hearing.
Our
recommendation,
as
Mr
Shriver
said,
was
to
approve
the
Planning
Commission
recommends
that
the
County
Board
adopt
the
attached
resolution
to
amend
the
general
land
use
plan,
public
facility
map
and
table
to
facilitate
the
creation
of
a
new
interim,
publicly
owned
parking
lot
located
at
3108
Columbia
Pike
and
adopt
the
attached
ordinance
to
rezone
from
R5
to
C2
and
C2
to
s3a.
R
This
was
approved
nine
to
two.
We
had
no
public
speakers
when
we
heard
this
at
our
hearing.
This
was
heard
at
the
lrpc
process
and
that
group
found
that
there
was
General
consensus
that
this
item
meets
the
requirements
for
state
code
22332.
Finding
our
conversation
was
primarily
about
the
community
engagement
concerns
that
could
APS
use
this
as
staging
for
construction
items.
At
present,
the
site
plan
doesn't
allow
that
a
site
plan
Amendment
could
change
that
and
allow
that
in
the
future.
R
So
the
Commissioners
were
asking
you
know
you
know:
would
the
community
community
be
notified
of
that?
How
would
they
be
engaged
before?
Something
like
that
would
happen?
See
questions
about
the
Columbia
Pike
form-based
code?
Streetscape
Dimension
requirements
will
they
be
met
at
the
site.
The
answer
was
yes,
questions
about.
You
know
with
this
new
zoning.
What
kind
of
uses
could
we
have
in
between
the
need
for
the
parking
lot
and
then
the
future
need?
R
And
the
answer
was,
you
know-
lots
of
potential
spots,
including
a
pop-up
Park,
but
they
were
expecting
a
pretty
short
Gap.
So
you
know
we
probably
wouldn't
be
using
any
of
those
alternate
uses
inquiries
about
a
Traditional
landscape
buffer
in
the
rear
of
the
site,
and
is
that
an
improvement
upon
the
existing
condition
for
the
residents
that
live
adjacent
to
the
site?
And
the
answer
was
that
there
would
be
additional
landscape
buffer
as
well
as
storm
water
requirements
that
are
going
to
be
addressed.
R
So
that's
an
improvement
and
we
did
have
two
Commissioners
that
were
concerned
about
tearing
down
the
building.
Was
a
study
done
to
show
that
this
building
couldn't
have
been
adapted
for
reuse?
Do
we
actually
need
92
spaces?
Could
we
have
left
the
building
up
and
use
less
spaces?
Ultimately,
staff
thought
that
the
building
could
not
be
used
for
something
else
and
with
the
you
know,
potential
library
that
would
be
there
in
the
future.
R
It
wouldn't
be
able
to
be
used
at
all
so,
but
that
was
the
rationale
for
the
two
votes
that
did
not
support
this
yep
and
that's
it
I'm
available
for
questions.
If
you
have
any.
A
E
Would
gladly
do
that
and
we'll
move
both
items
14
a
and
14b,
so
the
I
I'm
pleased
to
move
the
magic
manager's
recommendation
adopt
the
resolution,
which
is
attach
the
staff
report
to
this
item,
to
amend
the
general
land
use
plan
public
facility
map
and
table
to
facilitate
the
creation
of
a
new
interim,
publicly
owned
parking
area
located
at
3108
Columbia
Pike
attachment
a
in
addition
adopt
the
ordinance
attached
to
the
staff
report
to
rezone
from
R51
family
and
restricted
to
family
dwelling
district
and
C2
service,
commercial,
community,
business
district
to
S,
3A,
special
district
attachment
B
of
the
staff
report
and
then
B
I
moved
to
approve
the
use
permit
for
commercial
parking
on
the
property
located
on
3108
Columbia
Pike
RPC
number.
E
I
will
very
briefly
say
this
has
been
unexpected.
This
was
the
plan
for
this
place
on
Columbia
Pike.
The
plan
was
to
facilitate
the
parking
needs
of
the
career
center
during
the
construction
of
the
new
career
center
and
then
to
engage
in
a
you
know,
planning
to
to
use
that
place
in
a
far
better
way
to
move
the
Columbia
Pike
Library,
probably
there,
and
to
look
at
other
opportunities
to
use
this
place
to
the
best
possible
way.
E
I
I
have
to
recognize
that
it's
you
know
it's
a
transitional
use,
it's
not
a
non-problematic
use,
because
you
know
some
of
the
you
know
remind
reminding
or
urbanism
of
this
place
will
be
removed
for
for
some
time,
but
in
general,
this
this
strip
between
Glebe
and
South
Walter
Reed,
is
in
transition
as
a
block
and
in
in
its
entirety.
E
So
I
don't
see
why
this
would
be
a
reason
to
preserve
a
building
that
we
have
asked
staff
that,
obviously
doesn't
you
know,
comply
with
any
other
alternative
uses
at
this
moment
and
besides
I'm
personally,
am
very
satisfied
about
the
fact
that
staff
has
really
done
maximum
due
diligence
and
also
explained
to
me
to
me
and
I
believe
that
you
will
be
able
to
elaborate
here
how
the
old
building
will
be
rather
deconstructed
or
not
just
demolished,
so
that
you
know
we
preserve
as
much
as
we
can
from
the
substance
of
the
building
and
reduce
embodied
carbon
impact
of
this
action.
D
A
You
that,
for
my
own
purposes,
you
know
adaptive
reuse
as
a
concept
is
wonderful,
then
you
have
to
marry
it
with
the
real
world
application
to
an
actual
structure,
and
this
is
a
structure
that
I'm
familiar
with
I've,
been
in
quite
a
lot
and
I'm,
not
an
expert,
but
it's
clear
that
it's
not
a
candidate
for
adaptive,
reuse,
it's
not
Ada
accessible.
A
It's
not
efficiently
laid
out
on
the
site,
so
to
think
about
using
this
site
in
a
way
where
it
could
be
adapted
for
a
suitable
public
use
would
require
a
significant
amount
of
public
investment.
That
would
not
be
an
effective
use
of
taxpayer
resources,
given
the
overall
inefficiencies
of
its
orientation
toward
the
site,
given
that
we
do
have
long-term
plans
that
include
not
just
a
public
facility
in
the
form
of
a
library,
but
at
least
the
entertaining
of
conversations
about
other
public
or
public
worthy
uses
on
site.
A
This
is
a
very
cost,
effective
and
environmentally
sustainable
path
forward.
To
raise
the
building
to
use
it
for
a
need.
That's
going
to
reduce
the
number
of
vehicle
trips
in
and
around
the
area
for
people
who
are
searching
for
parking
until
we're
able
to
figure
out
the
long-term
solution
so
I'm
pleased
to
support
your
emotion.
A
A
L
Yes,
items
number
43
and
44
will
be
heard
together
and
they
are
items
related
to
the
future
of
outdoor
dining
study.
43
is
these
are
both
requests
to
authorize
advertisements.
43
is
a
request
to
authorize
advertisement
of
public
hearings
by
the
Planning
Commission
and
County
Board
to
consider
proposed
amendments
of
the
Arlington
County
zoning
ordinance
to
permit
outdoor
seating
and
public
rights
of
Way
by
administrative
review
and
permit
the
modification
of
parking
requirements
for
seats
located
in
the
acco
require
private
parking
spaces.
B
S
About
that
good
evening,
Brett
Wallace,
with
the
playing
division
I'm
also
joined
by
Ms
herps
from
the
real
estate
Bureau
and
Mrs
Moore
who's
from
our
Communications
team.
Who's
on
the
call
I'm
also
joined
by
other
staff.
That's
in
person
with
us
this
evening
and
on
the
call
as
well
from
cphd,
A.D
and
DS
so
again.
S
Providing
an
update
here
tonight
this
evening
for
the
request
to
advertise
for
the
recommended
key
elements
that
are
shown
here
for
the
future
outdoor
dining
study,
which
include
these
three
elements
with
the
first
two
being
the
subjects
of
the
RTA.
This
evening.
Item
number
one:
is
the
zoning
ordinance
amendments
to
permit
outdoor
dining,
seating
and
public
spaces
via
administrative
review
process,
including
the
ability
for
the
County
Board
to
modify
parking
requirements
for
seats
located
on
required
private
parking
spaces,
also,
including
other
amendments,
to
further
the
study,
goals
and
recommendations?
S
And
then
the
second
item
is
the
encroachment,
ordinance
and
Outdoor
Cafe
license,
which
is
a
new
chapter
of
the
county
code,
which
will
include
an
administrative
review
process
and
requirements
for
an
outdoor
Cafe
license
application
and
fee.
And
then
the
third
item
is
an
administrative
document
not
requiring
any
County
Board
action
this
evening.
It's
the
update
to
The
Outdoor
Cafe
guidelines
last
updated
in
2013.
This
is
going
to
serve
as
a
reference
manual
for
restaurants
and
applicants
moving
through
the
application
and
permitting
process.
S
So,
just
a
quick
background
on
the
current
approval
process
for
outdoor
cafes
for
those
outdoor
cafes
that
are
located
on
private
property.
Those
cafes
can
be
reviewed
administratively
approved
by
the
the
zoning
administrator
and
then
for
those
outdoor
cafes
that
are
located
in
the
public,
right-of-way
or
public
spaces.
S
So
just
a
quick
overview
of
the
temporary
outdoor
seating
areas
or
the
toses.
The
toses
were
established
in
2020
to
help
with
the
restaurants
and
businesses.
During
the
the
covid-19
pandemic,
a
staff
established
flexible
design
and
operational
guidelines,
including
an
online
submission
process.
There
was
an
interdepartmental
staff
review
team.
S
The
ptosis
were
approved
by
the
county
manager
through
the
continuity
of
governance
ordinance
and
currently
we
have
approximately
100
doses,
both
public
and
private,
that
are
in
operation.
Today
and
again,
the
toses
will
expire
on
August,
the
15th,
with
the
end
of
the
continuity
of
governance
ordinance.
S
So
just
some
examples
of
some
outdoor
cafes
throughout
the
county,
including
some
ptosas
I.
Think
some
of
these
examples
illustrate
some
of
the
the
issues
and
concerns
that
we
heard
throughout
the
process
with
regard
to
pedestrian,
Mobility,
accessibility
and
clear
sidewalk
widths,
some
other
examples
of
ptosas
that
are
located
in
private
parking
spaces
where
restaurants,
converted
existing
private
parking
spaces
into
outdoor
dining
setups.
S
So
just
an
overview
of
the
phase,
one
engagement,
what
we
heard
with
regard
to
the
ptosis
and
the
experience
over
the
past
few
years,
we
heard
a
lot
of
General
support
from
the
local
businesses
to
support
those
businesses
during
the
pandemic
overall
enjoyment
of
outdoor
dining
options
that
provided
for
vibrant
streetscapes
and
again
some
concerns.
We
heard
about
safe,
accessible
pedestrian
circulation.
S
We
did
hear
some
support
as
well
for
the
reduction
of
parking
spaces
to
to
support
those
exam,
expanded
outdoor,
dining
setups,
and
then
the
bottom
line
we
heard
is
the
need
to
streamline
the
process
that
it's
costly
and
lengthy
review
times
as
part
of
the
review,
so
for
item
number
43,
the
zoning
ordinance
amendments
this
table
here
summarizes
the
existing
and
proposed
process,
and
we've
identified
three
different
types
of
outdoor
cafes,
with
the
first
being
those
located
on
private
property
that
are
unencumbered
by
public
easements.
S
The
second
type
that
we've
identified
are
within
the
public
rights
away
or
public
easements
on
private
property,
including
privately
owned
public
spaces
number
three.
Those
currently
are
approved
by
County
Board
use
permit.
We
are
recommending
that
number
two,
the
public
sidewalks
within
the
public
within
the
rights
of
way,
be
reviewed
and
approved
administratively
by
saf
and
then
for
the
number
three,
the
privately
owned
public
spaces
or
pops,
we're
recommending
to
maintain
the
ability
for
the
County
Board
to
review
those
by
use
permit,
and
so
just
a
quick
summary
of
the
proposed
zoning
text.
S
Amendments
related
to
reflect
the
process
changes
that
are
currently
recommended
to
article
12
for
the
outdoor
cafes,
the
three
different
types:
the
private
property,
recommending
the
use
of
zoning
ordinance
required
parking
spaces
for
the
Outdoor
Cafe
by
use
permit
when
the
use
standards
in
the
zoning
ordinance
are
met,
number
two
for
the
public
property
or
sidewalks.
The
a
new
requirement
for
the
Outdoor
Cafe
license
the
New
Chapter
70
that
you'll
hear
about.
S
In
a
minute
again
meeting
the
zoning
ordinance
use
standards,
we've
identified
a
clear,
sidewalk
dimension
of
six
foot
unless
otherwise
approved
by
site
plan.
If
there's
a
wider
sidewalk
requirement
the
location
being
in
front
of
the
restaurant
and
then
we've
permitted
a
sound
and
entertainment
when
adjacent
to
residential
districts
and
then
number
three
for
the
privately
owned
public
spaces.
Are
pops
again
requiring
those
cafes
located
in
Pops
to
also
obtain
an
outdoor
Cafe
license
and
then
meet
the
zoning
ordinance
use
standards
also
proposing
zoning
text.
S
Amendments
to
other
articles,
such
as
article
7
and
8,
for
the
commercial
and
Industrial
District
use
tables,
which
includes
editorial
changes
to
reflect
the
proposed
process.
Approval
process
for
outdoor
cafes
and
then
for
article
14
parking.
Some
editorial
changes
to
resolve
some
conflicts
which
would
not
permit
outdoor
cafes
and
off-street
parking
spaces
and
again
requiring
those
outdoor
cafes
located
on
the
parking
required
by
the
zoning
to
proceed
with
a
use
permit
subject
to
the
use
standards
and
then,
finally,
article
18
staff
is
recommending
a
new
definition
for
public
space
privately
owned.
T
Some
of
those
physical
encroachments
that
will
be
included
would
be
such
things
as
canopies
and
awnings,
and
projecting
signs
that
extend
into
an
easement
area
other
certain
architectural
features
of
Stoops
and
stairs
things
such
as
bike,
racks,
Street,
Furniture,
movable
items
such
as
planters,
tables
chairs,
benches
and
other
similar
items,
and
the
features
that
don't
meet.
These
standards
that
are
set
forth
in
the
proposed
code
will
still
need
an
encroachment
ordinance
through
the
regular
County
Board
process.
But
we
expect
that
this
new
code
will
expedite
many
of
the
the
encouragements
that
that
are
requested.
T
And
more
specifically,
one
of
the
types
of
encroachments
that
are
addressed
in
this
code
is
the
Outdoor
Cafe
and
in
this
new
code
it
sets
forth
a
licensing
administrative
process
for
outdoor
cafes
that
are
located
within
public
spaces.
The
cafe
must
meet
certain
design
requirements
that
are
specifically
set
forth
in
the
chapter
70..
Some
of
those
include
such
things
as
not
having
any
permanent
elements
of
fixed
to
the
real
property
that
they
not
be
located
within
a
fire
lane,
a
bicycling
or
traveling
near
loading,
docks
or
Transit
stops,
or
emergency
vehicle
access
areas.
T
They
will
be
permitted
to
have
low
barriers
or
fences.
As
long
as
those
are
removable,
they
can
be
attached
to
the
surface
if
the
surface
can
be
capped
or
made
flush
once
they
are
removed
and
regardless
of
the
the
license
for
the
Outdoor
Cafe,
they
must
also
have
a
building
permit
and
an
occupancy
permit
as
part
of
the
process.
I'll
be
submittal
of
an
application
signed
by
the
applicant
with
the
consent
of
the
owner.
T
If
that
happens,
to
be
different
than
the
applicant
and
with
that
will
require
a
set
of
detailed
plans
showing
the
cafe
area
and
they'll
be
the
requirement
of
paying
150
application
fee.
In
addition
to
that,
we'll
require
an
annual
license
fee
and
that
will
be
based
on
the
square
footage
of
the
cafe
area.
So
the
larger
Cafe
areas
they'll
pay
more
than
the
smaller
ones,
and
that
would
be
in
accordance
with
a
schedule,
fees
that
would
be
adopted
next
year,
starting
in
fiscal
year
2025.,
and
all
that
rep
finish
up
the
rest.
S
Okay,
so
just
briefly
cover
the
commission
review
staff
has
been
meeting
with
a
number
of
commissions
over
the
past
few
weeks,
including
the
economic
development
commission.
Just
this
morning,
we're
here
with
you
this
evening
for
the
requested
advertise
for
the
zoning
ordinance
amendments
and
the
encroachment
ordinance
and
then
we're
meeting
with
some
other
committees
coming
up
over
the
next
coming
weeks
before
coming
back
in
July
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
the
County
board
for
action.
U
Thank
you
Brett
good
evening
board
members.
My
name
is
Erica
Moore
I
am
the
communications
and
engagement
manager
for
cphd
apologies
for
not
being
able
to
be
there
in
person
this
evening,
as
Brett
said,
I
just
wanted
to
run
through
what
the
engagement
and
communication
will
look
like
for
these
total
holders
for
these
restaurants
and
in
the
coming
months.
U
So
after
you
act
tonight,
we
will
be
communicating
out
to
all
of
our
tosa
holders
and
other
interested
parties,
letting
them
know
about
the
action
how
to
follow
the
process
that
will
be
happening
in
July
when
you
take
action,
how
to
sign
up
to
speak
and
then
also
letting
them
know
how
we
will
share
information
with
them
after
you
do
take
action
in
in
July
and
also
specifically
letting
them
know
that
they
do
not
have
to
do
anything
at
this
point
that
there's
nothing
for
them
to
do
yet.
U
So
they
know
exactly
what
they
need
to
be
doing
ahead
of
the
August
15th
kogo
expiration
there,
and
we
will
also
be
reaching
out
to
them
via
digital
Communications
through
our
newsletters.
The
direct
email
addresses
that
we
have
for
the
various
restaurants
and
we're
also
talking
about
trying
to
send
physical
letters
to
the
owners
of
Records,
so
just
really
trying
to
reach
people
as
much
as
possible.
U
We're
setting
up
an
internal
tracker
where
we
can
really
get
a
sense
of
who
we've
reached
out
to
who
we've
heard
from
who
we
haven't
heard
from
and
who
may
need.
U
Some
extra
touch
points
to
ensure
that
they're
aware
of
the
steps
that
they
need
to
be
taking
also
AED
we're
working
with
them
to
set
up
a
an
intake
form
for
lack
of
a
better
phrase
on
how
restaurants
can
easily
submit
questions,
and
we,
as
County
staff,
can
get
those
questions
to
the
right
people
to
get
answers
to
to
those
total
holders,
but
what
they
need
to
do.
U
We
are
also
prepared
to
stand
up
some
q,
a
information
sessions
if
we
find
that
certain
restaurants
in
certain
toast
situations
have
specific
questions
or
we're
seeing
some
themes
in
some
of
the
questions
and
bring
those
together
and
then
also
staff
is
going
to
be
working
to
set
up
opportunities
for
individual
cons,
consultations
to
really
walk
the
restaurants
through
this
process.
Happy
to
take
any
questions.
If
you
have
any.
Thank
you.
S
Have
maybe
two
more
slides?
Okay,
so
activities
that
are
anticipated
after
the
July
County
board
meeting
include
in-person
direct
engagement
with
restaurants,
with
toses
in
the
mid
to
late
July
time
frame.
That
Erica
spoke
to
we're
expecting
interested
restaurants
to
file
pertinent
applications
by
August,
the
15th,
which
is
at
the
end
of
the
continuity
of
governance,
ordinance
and
then
an
interdepartmental
staff
team
will
work
to
review
those
applications,
estimated
time
frame
of
90
to
120
days,
which
puts
us
to
making
decisions
on
these
applications
in
the
latter
part
of
the
year.
S
So
the
county
manager
recommendations
before
you
this
evening
are
item
43,
a
request
to
advertise
public
hearings
by
the
Planning
Commission
on
July
3rd
and
by
the
County
Board
on
July
15th,
to
consider
amendments
to
article
6,
7,
8,
12,
14
and
18
of
the
Arlington
County
zoning
ordinance
and
then
item
number
44
is
adopt.
The
resolution
attached
to
the
staff
report
to
authorize
the
advertisement
of
a
public
hearing
by
the
County
Board
on
July
15th
to
consider
an
ordinance
to
enact
and
codify
a
new
chapter.
S
V
W
For
the
opportunity
to
speak,
I'll
be
brief.
I
believe
I
shared
these
slides
in
advance,
so
just
just
flipping
through
them
really
quickly.
I
feel
compelled
to
share
a
little
bit
of
information
about
my
family
story,
because
I
think
it's
a
really
good
case
study
of
having
a
tosa
established
during
the
pandemic
on
the
before
and
during
story.
So
this
is
a
quick
character
side
of
my
family,
two
kids,
seven
and
ten,
my
wife
Ingrid
teaching
at
Arlington
Public
Schools
next
slide.
This
is
our
home.
W
We
live
in
a
historic
town
home
community
on
a
dead
end
Street
next
slide.
This
is
the
experience
that
we've
had
with
the
tosa.
As
you
can
see,
our
bedroom's
directly
abut
the
tosa
next
slide.
This
is
an
aerial
view
of
that.
It's
less
than
half
the
distance
of
this
room
while
the
wall,
so
you
can
see
it's
it's
pretty
close
and
pretty
tight
next
slide.
W
W
I
had
the
opportunity
to
talk
with
Brett
and
the
county
team,
as
well
as
some
zoko
committee
members
last
week,
saw
kind
of
some
of
the
plans
and
just
wanted
to
weigh
in
on
those
recommendations
next
slide.
So
the
first
one
fully
endorsed
this
piece.
The
county
has
recommended
that
from
an
abutting
residence
point
of
view,
we
limit
Audio,
Video,
Entertainment
I
think
that's
been
huge.
So
during
the
pandemic,
that
was
always
the
rule,
but
I
didn't
raise
any
Flags.
W
The
local
cafe
did
have
that
music
and
did
have
the
TVs,
and
it
was
pretty
tough
to
deal
with.
They
actually
had
trivia
night
outside
and
the
kids
couldn't
sleep
since
we
started
pivoting
towards
a
long-term
trajectory
of
this
I
reached
out
the
county.
The
county
brought
the
cafe
in
compliance,
and
it's
been
a
tremendous
difference
and
hearing
from
the
zoko
members.
This
has
been
something
that
I
think
has
been
worked
on
for
a
long
time.
W
So
putting
this
into
the
the
rules
would
be
would
be
fantastic
and
then
I
also
have
three
additional
recommendations.
So
I
know
you
can
get
these
things
by
use
permit,
but
I
do
think
that
a
budding
resident
should
have
a
restricted
hours
to
start
from,
so
that
residents
and
cafes
don't
have
to
work
to
get
to
a
compromise.
There's
a
little
tighter
of
governance.
W
A
K
His
feelings
all
the
way
around
I'll
be
brief.
Good
evening,
everyone,
I'm
John
Musa
local
government
manager
at
the
Arlington
Chamber
of
Commerce,
on
behalf
of
the
chamber,
I
just
like
to
say
a
few
quick
words
in
support
of
this
RTA.
K
K
Our
members
and
members
of
general
public
have
been
very
supportive
of
of
the
transition
towards
permanent
outdoor
dining
and
based
on
the
reports
and
the
staff
recommendations.
We
believe
that
the
framework
that's
being
presented
here
is
a
good
step
forward,
so
we
urge
you
to
adopt
the
rtas
and
to
ultimately
adopt
the
permanent
rules
that
will
be
up
at
the
July
15th
meeting.
K
We
are
very
important
to
hear
the
multifaceted
approach
towards
making
sure
all
restaurants
that
would
be
affected
by
toasters
would
have
potentially
individualized
recommendations
for
their
next
step
and
the
Chamber
is
more
than
willing
to
help
assist
Accounting
in
getting
this
information
disseminated
out
in
a
timely
and
efficient
manner.
So,
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
to
engage
on
this
in
the
next
month.
Thank
you.
L
A
D
Sure
I
will
move
the
county,
manager's
recommendation
for
item
43
and
that
we
adopt
the
resolution
to
test
the
staff
report
to
authorize
advertisement
and
public
hearings
by
the
Planning
Commission
on
July
3
2023
and
by
the
County
Board
on
July
15
2023,
to
consider
ASCO
acz
amendments
to
article
6,
7,
8,
12,
14
and
18,
as
all
is
shown
in
attachment
one
to
permit
outdoor
cafes
and
public
rights
away
by
administrative
review.
Permit
the
modification
of
parking
requirements
for
outdoor
cafes
located
on
ASCO
required
private
parking
spaces.
D
In
order
to
establish
public
space
that
is
privately
owned
and
make
other
changes
for
improved,
Clarity
or
other
reasons
required
by
public
necessity,
convenience
General,
Welfare,
good
zoning
practice
related
to
the
future
of
outdoor
dining
study.
That's
item
43
I
think
we're
taking
both
together.
I'll
also
move
item
34.,
which
is
that
we
adopt
the
resolution
attached
to
the
staff
report
to
authorize
the
advertisement
of
a
public
hearing
by
the
count.
Arlington
County
Board
on
July
15
2023
to
consider
an
ordinance
to
enact
and
codify
a
new
chapter.
D
I
wanted
just
to
follow
up
a
little
bit
on
the
presentation
and
see
if
staff
had
any
thoughts
with
respect
to
the
the
the
points
made.
Some
of
them
are
covered,
but
the
three
suggestions
in
the
presentation
by
the
the
speaker
I
think
it's
a
question
from
Mr
Wallace,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
we
followed
up
on
that
briefly.
If
we
could.
A
And
Mr
defranti,
if
you're
amenable
I,
would
also
just
like
to
confirm
with
our
County
attorneys,
since
I
have
not
had
a
chance
to
do
so
already.
But
it's
my
reading
of
Mr
Kern's
suggestions
that
those
would
be
within
scope
of
what.
C
D
D
S
You
Mr
chair,
yes,
Mr
Kearns
noted
we
are
recommending
a
provision
change
in
the
zoning
ordinance
on
line
number
63
that
prohibits
the
sound
or
audio
or
Video
Entertainment
inside
or
rear
yards
of
budding
across
an
alley
from
an
r
r,
a
district.
So
that
is
a
change
in
that
I
think
could
help
address
some
of
Mr
Kern's
concerns.
D
A
I'll
just
say
for
in
me
again
to
frame
this.
This
is
a
huge
body
of
work,
huge
thanks
to
staff
who
I
know
has
been
working
on
this
comprehensively
for
a
while
I
know.
It
seems
like
a
simple
issue
to
some,
but
as
you
peel
layers
of
the
onion,
you
find
more
complexity,
so
very
much
appreciate
the
work.
This
action
tonight
is
necessarily
succinct,
since
we
are
just
providing
notice
that
they're
going
to
be
hearings
on
this
from
the
Planning
Commission
and
the
County
Board.
A
In
the
case
of
the
zoning
ordinance
amendments
proposed
and
in
the
case
of
the
new
Chapter
70
being
added
a
hearing
just
by
the
County
Board
that
will
be
upcoming
in
July.
So
we
will
look
forward
to
considering
the
testimony
of
our
speakers
tonight
and
really
working
to
you
know
see
that
this
hopefully
can
address
the
needs
of
all
stakeholders,
those
who
have
enjoyed
the
increased
privileges
from
toses,
but
also
those
who
have
been
impacted
by
it.
So
thank
you
all
for
coming
to
speak
on
it.
Ms
Garvey.
G
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
also
appreciate
Mr
currents.
Coming
that's
one
of
the
best
presentations
we've
had
I
mean
it
was
just
absolutely
to
the
point
really
clear
within
I
mean
thank
you
and
good
points,
so
I
think
we're
all
going
to
be
paying
attention
to
that
as
we
as
we
move
forward
excellent
points.
Thank
you
and
then
I
had
a
question
which
is
just
it's
sort
of
a
I.
Don't
know,
maybe
a
stupid
question,
but
I
realized.
Looking
at
the
timing,
just
explain
to
me
I'm
sure,
there's
a
legal
reason.
G
It
just
struck
me
that
all
the
applications
there
have
to
be
in
by
August
15th
and
the
a
continuity
of
government
ends
August
15th.
So
it
feels
like
at
August
15th.
If
they
haven't
been
approved,
they
can't
keep
it
going,
but
obviously
they
restaurants,
can
you
just
talk
a
little
bit
how
that
works.
Legally
I'm
gathering,
there's
an
extension
or
once
the
applications
are
in
there.
Okay
or
something
and
I
see
I
can
take
this
course
smiling
at
us,
so
maybe
she's
the
one
to
answer
this
question.
Yes,.
V
It's
been
our
long-standing
practice
in
Zoning
for
for
not
just
this,
but
everything
that
if
someone
is
taking
good
faith
efforts
to
comply
with
an
existing
process,
we
do
not
actively
enforce
zoning
enforcement
because
we're
trying
to
get
people
into
compliance.
So
if
the
board
adopts
the
ordinance
in
July,
there
will
be
a
process
in
place
for
for
people
to
get
ptosis
and
even
if
they
don't
fully
complete
their
application
and
go
through
the
process
and
get
a
permit
by
August
15th.
G
E
Oh
just
very
briefly,
a
big
thank
you
to
staff
and
to
both
our
zoning
and
legal
experts.
Also,
the
Arlington
Economic
Development
staff
for
for
reaching
out
and
doing
this
work.
I
want
to
to
say
one
thing:
tosas
is
a
significant
part
of
the
business
of
many
many
restaurants
here
and
believe
it
or
not.
I
was
actually
surprised
when
you
said
that
only
100..
This
is
a
very
big.
You
know,
Community
I
think
100
is
actually
a
small
number.
E
I
do
believe
that
what
we
are
discussing
today
is
actually
creating
and
introducing
some
sort
of
predictability
of
what
the
rules
of
the
game
will
be.
E
It
also
enhances
the
the
the
possibilities
for
establishing
this
outdoor
dining
and
winding
options
and
I
I
just
encourage
you
to
in
the
Outreach
to
take
with
you
not
only
those
who
have
the
Torso
now
and
need
to
be
compliant,
but
if
they'll
the
15th,
but
also
to
make
a
concentrated
and-
and
you
know,
Purpose
Driven
effort
to
inform
and
bring
others
in
I
hear
from
a
lot
of
minority
owners,
for
example,
that
didn't
have
during
the
pandemic.
The
economic
means
to
expand
because
everybody
toss
is
an
investment.
E
I
mean
these
are
not
cheap
things
there,
a
deck
is
an
investment,
a
table
is
an
investor
and
on
the
other
side
it
brings
an
average
of
and
some
experts,
we're
saying.
Fifteen
thousand
dollars
of
you
know
sales
a
year.
So
this
is
not
small
change,
so
this
is
a
significant
Economic
Development
action
that
goes
together
with
that
and
I'm
very
interested
to
see
what
the
results
from
that
will
be.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
B
We
do
Aaron
Schreiber
has
agreed
to
return
for
a
brief
verbal
presentation.
Q
Thank
you,
Mr
manager,
again
I'm
Aaron
Schreiber,
with
a
planning,
Division
and
I,
will
provide
a
brief
update,
mainly
to
update
you
on
a
change
in
recommendation.
So
for
the
smokecraft
item
I
am
presenting
on
behalf
of
my
colleague
Cedric
Sutherland,
but
the
staff
report
that
was
published
for
this
item.
Q
The
original
recommendation
was
for
discontinuance
and
that
recommendation
was
based
upon
ongoing
non-compliance
by
the
owner
operator
of
smokecraft
with
condition
number
15
which,
as
it
was
approved
by
this
board
in
November
of
2022,
required
participation
in
the
Arlington
restaurant
initiative,
a
program,
and
that
is
what
we
we
refer
to
as
Ari
per
that
condition.
Ari
accreditation
was
required
by
March
of
2023
and
the
applicant
was
not
able
to
meet
that
deadline
and
a
zoning
violation
was
issued
for
that.
Q
We
have
been
in
communication
with
Mr
Darnell
who's
here
tonight
over
the
last
few
months,
speaking
about
ways
to
come
into
compliance.
So
when
the
County
Board
did
hear
all
of
the
Clarendon
live
entertainment
use
permits
together
as
a
group
in
May,
compliance
still
had
not
been
met
by
Mr
Darnell.
So
the
county
manager's
recommendation
was
for
renewal
for
his
specific
item,
with
a
one-month
County
Board
review
to
the
June
meeting
and
in
the
June
time
frame.
Compliance
still
had
not
been
met,
which
was
the
Genesis
for
our
recommendation
for
discontinuance.
Q
However,
we've
continued
to
have
communications
both
by
my
colleague,
Mr
Sutherland,
as
well
as
by
representatives
from
the
police
department
who
are
here
this
evening
and
so
through
those
continued
Communications,
including
with
Mr
Darnell's
legal
representation
last
night
and
this
morning
we
do
believe
that
we
have
a
potential
path
for
reaching
compliance.
So
what
we
are
here
to
do
is
to
revise
our
recommendation
from
discontinuance.
Now
it
is
at
renewal
with
a
one-month
County
Board
review
in
July,
which
we
hope
will
provide
sufficient
time
to
allow
the
applicant
to
come
into
compliance
again.
Q
A
X
I'm
not
sure,
there's
much
I
need
to
say
at
this
time
since
the
change
in
the
County's
recommendation
I'm,
we
are
working
and
have
been
working
to
come
into
compliance.
While
addressing
our
concerns,
which
you
know
we
have,
we
felt
we've
received
untimely
replies
which
delayed
our
ability
to
respond.
X
We
continue
to
work
to
try
and
find
a
way
to
work
with
Ari
in
a
manner
that
we
and
our
representation
believes,
maintains
our
liability
protection
and
doesn't
cost
Force
us
on
due
costs.
That's
been
our
objection
that
has
been
what
we've
been
trying
to
resolve.
X
It
appears
as
of
conversations
between
the
county
and
our
legal
counsel,
that
we've
come
to
some
sort
of
resolution.
However,
that
resolution
still
needs
time
to
for
the
policies
to
be
written
and
approved
by
both
our
insurance
and
to
ensure
that
we're
not
taking
on
undue
risk
and
undue
costs
that
are
not
reasonable
for
our
business,
while
working
with
the
county
to
meet
the
compliance
standards.
So
I
think
beyond
that
I'm
sure
I
could
talk
a
great
length,
but
I
don't
think
it's
necessary
to
go
further
than
that.
This
time.
Thank.
K
Y
Is
correct:
okay,
good
evening
my
name
is
vinay
Galloway
I
am
the
vice
president
and
also
a
PNC
broker
of
an
agency
locally
in
Northern
Virginia
we've
worked
with
smokecraft
since
they've
opened
their
doors
mid
pandemic
and
with
that
have
had
numerous
conversations
about
both
policies
and
best
practices,
and
they
have
been
compliant
and
also
engaging
the
entire
time.
I
just
implore
the
board
to
really
consider
the
language
used
in
Ari
I.
Y
Y
What
works
for
Clarendon,
Ballroom
or
spider
Kelly's
is
completely
different
than
what
may
work
for
Grand,
Cru
or
even
smoke
craft
barbecue,
and
with
that
being
said,
things
like
safety
managers
and
knowing
that
there's
risk
and
and
appointing
a
safety
manager.
That's
also
a
restaurant
manager.
If
they're
taking
off
the
floor
for
any
given
reason
and
an
incident
happens
and
a
patron
knows
that
this
initiative
is
mandated,
that
does
increase
the
liability
on
the
business
owner,
especially
we
live
in
a
litigious,
Society
I.
Y
Don't
think
anybody
is
surprised
by
that,
but
you
know
it's
not
necessary
at
this
time
to
have
security
at
smoke.
Craft
barbecue,
they're
not
using
the
live
license,
as
you
would
see
in
a
concert
venue
or
anything
like
that
and
imparting
that
responsibility
to
their
staff
and
their
management.
I,
just
don't
think
it's
conducive
or
what
the
intention
of
this
AR
policy
really
is.
Thank
you
all
I'm
happy
to
answer
questions.
Thank.
A
You,
okay,
the
discussion
is
now
with
the
board,
so
I
will
move
the
following
motion:
that
the
County
Board
accept
the
revised
County
manager's
recommendation
for
a
live
entertainment
use,
permit
pertaining
to
smoke,
craft
Modern,
Barbecue.
A
X
I
hope
so
I
think
I
mean
we
after
the
last
meeting.
It
was
two
weeks
before
we
received
responses
to
our
questions
from
the
county
and
now
that
we
have
those
responses
and
have
had
further
discussion.
Our
attorney
is,
you
know
it
was
working
on
it.
I
I
will
convey
to
him
that
we
have
two
and
a
half
weeks
before
another
thing,
but
I
mean
two
and
a
half
weeks
and
30
days
are
very
different
time
frame.
X
X
You
know
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
have
any
adjustments
that
are
further
necessary.
I
will
I
will
just
point
out
just
really
quickly,
because
when
they
didn't
didn't
touch
on
it,
just
just
to
understand
the
significance
of
the
insurance
implications
with
this
is,
and
why
we're
fighting
this
or
not
fighting
but
trying
to
have
discussion
on
it
is.
We
were
informed
that
we
would
have
to,
even
though
we
carry
significant
coverage
for
various
things
within
the
restaurant,
including
a
three
million
dollar
GL
policy.
X
That
parts
of
this
program
could
negate
that
coverage,
and
we
would
be
necessitated
to
take
on
additional
coverages
that
could
cost
a
restaurant
between
eight
and
ten
thousand
dollars
a
year,
which
is
not
insignificant.
So
this
is
why
we're
here
and
trying
to
address
this,
and
so
we
can
come
up
with
solutions
that
do
not
negate
our
current
policies
and
allow
us
to
comply
concurrently
in
finding
the
solutions
and
the
answers.
A
Don't
want
to
say
this
because
it's
a
great
program,
but
it's
it's
a
minimal
bar
for
compliance.
It's
not
like
it's
going
to
require
you
to
upman
your
operations.
It's
basically
firming
your
commitment
to
join
the
community
of
other
restaurants
in
the
area,
who
are
upholding
good
standards
for
how
they're
going
to
operate
their
establishments
and
to
police
their
consumers.
A
It's
a
long
way
of
saying
I
think
you
can
get
there
without
realizing
the
apocalypse
that
your
representatives
see
so
I
hope,
hopefully
you're
all
motivated
to
do
so
very
soon,
because
I
will
say
for
my
purposes
each
month
that
we
continue
in
this
dance
is
another
month
where
you
continue
to
enjoy
a
permit
without
adhering
to
the
Ari
standards,
the
luxury
that
the
other
establishments
haven't
had
and
so
from
a
governance
standpoint.
At
some
point,
I
will
feel
compelled
to
call
the
question
on
this.
So
hopefully
this
can
get
it
done.
X
X
The
only
concerns
were
with
a
few
specific
policies
which
we
are
trying
to
address
and
I
will
just
point
out
and
I
recognize
that
50
other
restaurants
or
whatever
have
signed
on
to
this,
but
I
can't
speak
to
why
they
made
decisions
to
do
what
they've
done
and
I
think
it's
unfair
to
characterize
this,
as,
as
somebody
saying
hey
like
we've,
raised
a
concern
here,
that's
valid
for
us
and.
X
We
are
working
to
try
and
resolve
that
concern.
The
concern
was
not
timely,
addressed
after
we
raised
the
concerns
in
January
and
we
have
been
rushing
to
try
and
come
up
with
Solutions
since
finally
being
engaged
on
the
other
side
as
a
result.
So
you
know
yes,
we
have
the
permit.
We
are
not
actively
using
it
at
this
time.
I
do
not
have
live
entertainment
on
a
regular
basis.
X
The
reasons
for
my
permit
are
very
different
and
just
in
terms
of
Insurance
liability
coverage
with
which
vinay
can
speak
to
my
establishment,
does
85
percent
of
its
sales
in
food
85
in
food
versus
85
alcohol
creates
a
very
different
set
of
liabilities
in
terms
of
our
normal
coverages,
which
is
why
this
is
coming
up.
So
you
know
we're
trying
to
resolve
these
issues.
I.
Just
you
know,
I
I,.
X
X
Adopting
these
specific
written
policies
is
not
going
to
change
our
commitment
to
safety
if,
even
if
we
opt
not
so
I
I
just
want
to
be
clear
on
that
and
I
I
think
it's
an
unfair
statement
as
well
as
there
are
other
restaurants
in
Clarendon
that
are
not
Airi
compliant
that
don't
have
the
requirement
to
be
so
because
they
don't
maintain
live
entertainment
licenses
simply
because
I
maintain
this
license
and
have
had
this
license
since
2012
since
September
of
21,
you
know,
doesn't
take
away
the
fact
that
I'm
still
part
of
the
community,
but
yet
I'm
the
one
here
having
to
defend
something
and
I
we're,
not
the
bad
guys.
X
Here
you
know
we
want
a
safe
environment.
We've
complied
with
everything.
We
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
being
hit
with
additional
liabilities
and
costs
and
that's
it,
and
if
we
can
find
ways
to
do
that,
we're
there.
It
sounds
like
based
on
the
conversations
between
our
attorney
and
Cedric
that
we're
going
to
get
there.
Hopefully
we
can
get
it
done
in
the
next
couple
weeks
and
if
we
can't
then
we'll
have
obviously
further
discussions
that
will
probably
go
beyond
just
our
license.
Okay,
thank
you.
G
G
Why
there's
so
many
establishments
that
have
this
Ari
and
their
team
to
be
doing
fine
and
and
what's
what's
the
difference
so
actually
I
will
just
say
to
staff
when
this
comes
back,
I
will
be
interested
if,
for
some
reason
they
can't
get
into
compliance
they'll
want
to
know
what
makes
them
special
or
different
that
they're
so
different
from
everybody
else,
but
I
also
don't
want
to
be
dragging
this
out.
That
doesn't
feel
right
to
me.
X
Too
yeah
can
I
can
I
just
raise.
One
thing
with
that
is
is
I
think
that
this
is
the
first
cycle,
since
this
use
rule
became
a
mandate.
Ari
was
a
recommended
guideline
until
November,
so
this
renewal
cycle
that
we're
facing
now
I
may
be
the
only
one
who's
sitting
here,
but
I
also
was
I.
Think
one
of
maybe
three
who
didn't
have
it
in
November
to
begin
with,
the
certification
was
voluntary
for
most
other
establishments
and
most
other
establishments
had
it
before.
So
we
haven't
gone
through
this
mandated
requirement
and
cycle
and
I.
X
Think
that's
why
I'm
sitting
here
and
it
was
my
in
his
in
my
own
ignorance-
I-
didn't
fully
understand
what
Ari
you
know,
what
the
full
compliance
of
Ari
meant
in
November
when
it
came
before
to
become
a
mandatory
requirement.
You
know,
I
understood
it
to
be
additional
training
which
we
support,
so
so
I
just
want
to
point
out.
Why
we're
the
only
ones
everybody
else
already
had
it
and.
G
We
did
well
you,
you
know
now
what
it
is
and
we've
got
a
little
bit
more
time
and
it
doesn't
seem
to
be
that
it's
rocket
science,
so
I
hope
we
can
resolve
this
in
July
and
you'll
be
in
compliance.
Thank
you.
A
So
in
terms
of
the
the
Mandate
it
is
a
you
know,
we
we
like
love
to
talk
about
unfunded
mandates.
This
is
a
no-cost
mandate.
In
fact,
the
ability
to
comply
is
is
provided
by
the
mandator.
In
this
case,.
Z
Sorry,
we
provide
a
whole
host
of
free
training
for
restaurant
Staff.
Arlington
addiction
recovery
initiative
provides
Narcan.
The
fire
department
provides
CPR.
We
provide
fake
ID
detection,
criminal,
civil
liability,
security,
training,
criminal
civil
liability,
which
I
just
said
as
well
as
interfering
in
certain
incidences.
What
to
do
when
to
call
the
police
what
to
do
when
the
police
come
into
your
establishment,
how
to
fill
out
an
incident
report
and
then
victim
witness,
provides
sexual
assault
bar
bystander
training.
A
So
it
just
sounds
to
me
Mr
Darnell,
given
your
commitment
to
safety
and
our
desire
to
create
this
community
of
people
who
are
all
preaching
from
the
same
hymn
book,
this
seems
like
we
should
be
able
to
get
there,
and
so
hopefully,
hopefully
we'll
have
success
and
be
able
to
celebrate
a
positive
outcome.
Next
month,
Miss
Garvey.
G
And
I
just
want
I
want
to
thank
I
mean
this
Ari
initiative.
We've
had
going
on.
It's
I
think
that
the
the
statistics
beared
out,
that
it's
really
been
effective
at
helping
people,
so
I'm
really
pleased
that
we're
able
to
do
it.
Thank
you
and
we
want
to
get
everybody
in
compliance,
because
it's
good
for
the
whole
Community.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair,
I'll,
just
say
briefly
appreciate
the
your
questions
and
the
conversation
and
I
really
appreciate
staff's
ongoing
work
and
the
ability
to
get
to
this
short
one
month,
piece
I'm
aligned
with
the
desire
to
get
to
yes
with
respect
to
the
provisions
in
the
manual.
If
there's
a
way
to
do
it,
I'd
love
to
see
that
we'd
get
it
done
thanks.
Thank
you.
Mr
Karen.
A
E
Test
of
words,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
tour
Clarion
with
our
officers
a
few
times
and
I
was
absolutely
impressed
by
the
very
positive
testimony
of
many
establishments,
many
restaurateurs
who
engage
with
Ari,
and
actually
we
had
already
this
conversation
about
making
it.
You
know
compulsory
mandatory
as
a
standard
across
the
entire
district,
and
you
know
across
Arlington,
eventually
for
everybody,
there
was
a
huge
appreciation
of
the
value
that
Ari
has
has
brought
I
mean
Clarendon
was
a
very
different
place
before
air
I.
E
We
have
to
say
so:
it's
not
only
the
police,
it's
not
only
that
you
figure
that
out
and
get
to
yes,
but
you,
you
know,
you
form
this
critical
mass
of
arrest
records
and
entrepreneurs
who
contribute
to
to
Clarendon
being
such
a
great
place,
because
it
has
all
these
components,
including
Ari.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
Seeing
no
further
discussions
move
to
a
vote
on
this
motion.
All
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye,
aye
aye,
any
post
guys
have
it
see
you
all
next
month
on
this
issue,
Miss
Jacobs?
What's
that?
Yes,
do
we
have
any
other
business
before
the
board
this
evening.
A
Leaving
well
now
that
you
mention
it
now
you
mention
it.
You
know
what
was
noted
during
the
earlier
conversation
about
Miss
Crystal
was
her
facility
with
language,
and
so
during
her
or
in
her
resignation
letter,
she
used
the
use.
The
phrase
and
I
will
quote:
please
accept
my
formal
resignation,
so
what
I
can
do
is
to
say
no,
we
do.
We
do
not
so.
