and
we

of
people

A
few

before
we
get

A
Masks

if
you
would

one,
you

who

Members

our
individual

We
will
have
members
of
the
public
and
County
staff
who
are
participating
remotely
as
part
of
our
hybrid
meeting
model.
A
For
those
of
you
who
are
intending
to
speak
at
today's
meeting
for
our
in-person
speakers,
you
can
come
up
when
your
name
is
called
to
the
lectern
it
can
adjust
based
on
your
preferences.
Using
the
up
and
down
arrows
to
the
Right.
Microphone
is
always
on,
so
you
don't
have
to
press
anything
to
activate
it.
A
If
you
have
documents
that
you'd
like
to
submit
for
the

A
Occasionally,
if
board
members
are
not
here
at
the
front,
it
doesn't
mean
that
we
have
left
the
meeting.
We
can
follow
the
proceedings
from
the
dice,
even
if
you
can
from
behind
us
on
the
dice.
Even
if
you
cannot
see
us
with
that,
we
are
ready
to
move
into
our
public
comment
period.
A
As
a
reminder,
public
comment
is
for
individuals
to
alert
the
board
to
issues
that
have
not
been
the
subject
for
of
a
recent
public
hearing,
nor
are
scheduled
for
an
upcoming
public
hearing
to
ensure
that
we
have
the
opportunity
to
hear
a
range
of
topics.
We
do
have
a
one
speaker
per
topic
rule.
This
helps
us
efficiently
manage
the
main
purpose
of
today's
meeting,
which
is
to
consider
the
items
that
are
on
our
regular
agenda.
A
So
we
appreciate
everyone's
help
and
cooperation
in
having
our
meetings
run
efficiently
and
if
you
are
I,
don't
think
this
is
going
to
be
the
case
today.
A
C
Good
morning,
everyone
good
morning,
Mr
chairman
members
of
the
County
Board,
my
name
is
Ulysses.
Terry
I
appeared
before
you
last
month
to
request
the
County
Board
user's
authority
to
address
the
continual
parking
and
traffic
problems
on
South
Nelson
Street
I
was
told
at
the
last
County
Board
that
you
will
be
following
up
with
me.
Yet
no
one
from
the
county
has
contacted
me.
C
Yeah
I
have
some
video
pictures
with
this
and,
as
you
can
see
with
these
pictures,
the
problem
still
exists.
These
pictures
are
from
the
last
meeting
up
until
Tuesday
the
Green
Valley
civic
association
has
worked
with
me
and
the
neighbors,
the
mosque
and
the
Arlington
County
Police
Department
to
resolve
the
situation,
but
there
still
has
to
be
a
lot
to
be
accomplished.
C
C
A
You
thank
you,
Mr
Terry,
we'll
respond
to
your
remarks
after
we
hear
from
all
the
public
comments.
Speakers.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
D
Good
morning,
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
talk
to
you,
I'm
speaking
in
my
personal
capacity
I
spent
over
12
years
on
the
csb
DDD
committee
prior
for
that
I've
spent
years
on
the
special
education
committee,
even
chair
of
the
special
education
committee,
hi
Libby,
and
what
I'm
asking
is
not
for
a
policy
exception,
but
for
an
adherence
to
the
policy
that
the
csb
made
on
a
motor,
Care
Transportation
effort.
The
way
it
works.
D
If
you
have
an
MR
waiver,
your
child
used
to
be
transported
on
diamond,
but
the
money
can
be
paid
for
by
the
state.
If
you
use
a
state
vehicle,
what's
happened,
is
Arlington
has
saved
over
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
by
going
to
the
motor
care
process.
I
think
that's
wonderful!
I
was
on
the
csb
DD
committee.
It's
a
great
savings.
You
can
use
it
for
other
programs,
but
the
important
part
was
the
policy
statement
that
I.
Hopefully
you
all
saw
that
the
CSV
said.
D
Do
this
save
the
money,
but
if
there
are
individual
needs
that
can
be
addressed
in
another
matter,
address
those
now
DHS
has
done
that
for
other
parents.
What
I'm
asking
for
is
that
we
adhere
to
the
policy
in
case
of
my
daughter,
who
goes
on
the
diamond
disability
van
she's,
gone
to
the
Arlington
weaves
wonderful
program,
one
of
the
few
in
a
country
that
you
have.
Thank
you
please
keep
it.
D
You
have
30
seconds,
but
this
adherence
to
let
her
go
on
a
diamond
band
will
not
cost
you
any
money.
The
van
goes
past
my
street
four
Herbert
workers
on
the
band
she's
been
on
the
van
for
13
years.
She
doesn't
understand
why
she's
been
kicked
off
the
van
right
now.
Motorcare
has
different
drivers.
Different
people,
different
people,
no
shows
every
single
day.
I've
had
meltdowns
in
the
middle
of
the
street
to
her
bolting
the
house.
So
thank
you,
Mr
Sirocco,
just
this
has
no
budget
impact.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Our.
E
Hello
good
morning,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
here.
I'm
representing
a
charity
called
the
wheels
to
Africa.
We
collect
bikes
here
in
Arlington
and
we
send
them
to
Africa,
along
with
other
things,
such
as
board,
games
and
pens
and
and
things
for
the
children
in
Africa.
E
The
bikes
are
helpful
to
them,
as
it
helps
them
gain
transportation
and
give
them
access
to
things
that
they
may
not
have
been
able
to
do
before
so
yeah.
We
are
hosting
a
bike
collection
here
in
Arlington
next
Saturday
in
the
Kenmore
parking
lot,
10
a.m
to
2,
A.M,
10
p.m,
10
a.m,
to
2
p.m,
and
I
would
just
ask
that
you
would
spread
the
word
of
this
and
we're
very
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
use
the
space
in
the
first
place.
Thank.
F
Yes,
private
citizens
concerned
about
the
loss
of
trees
in
public
and
private
lands
had
commissioned
a
new
tree.
Canopy
land
cover
assessment
using
their
own
funds.
It
showed
that
the
tree
canopy
is
33,
not
the
41
percent,
currently
used
by
the
county.
The
difference
is
this
study
used
better
data
and
techniques
and
avoided
the
previous
over
counting
of
shrubs
as
trees.
F
The
detailed
information
provided
should
be
used
to
inform
the
developing
forestry
and
natural
resources
plan
policy
decisions
and
other
County
actions.
A
small
fraction
of
the
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
currently
committed
to
outside
Consultants
to
write
the
plan.
This
study
offers
at
a
much
lower
cost
the
focus
on
many
important
aspects
of
Forestry
planning
next
slide.
Please.
This
slide
shows
that
the
information
existing
canopy
and
potential
planting
areas
by
neighborhood
can
be
provided
down
to
the
Block
Level,
showing
significant
differences
between
neighborhoods
and
exact
locations
for
plantings.
F
Based
on
the
study,
the
maximum
tree
canopy
possible
in
Arlington
was
39
percent
the
same
as
the
2011
study
showed,
and
almost
half
of
that
is
on
public
land.
The
county
can
take
the
lead
with
projects
that
deliver
public
services
that
come
from
trees
next
slide.
County
leadership
needs
to
make
trees
and
natural
resources.
A
much
higher
priority
require
specific
objections
and
actions
in
the
forestry
plan
and
aggressively
enforce
the
codes
that
we
now
have.
We,
the
trees
are
not
simply
decoration,
they
provide
important
Public
Services.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank.
B
F
A
Well,
thanks
to
all
of
you
for
joining
us
today,
briefly
Mr
Terry,
we
do
understand
that
the
issue
is
ongoing
and
I
apologize
that
if
we
dropped
the
ball
on
following
up
specifically,
but
we
are
actually
well
aware
of
the
circumstances
and
the
concerns
I
just
like
to
ask
Mr
Schwartz,
you
know
we've
struggled,
we
struggled
with
you
know
adequate
support
in
terms
of
Staffing
in
the
police
department,
but
we
have
added
support
in
positions
to
monitor
issues
like
what
Mr
Terry
has
described.
A
G
H
Thank
you
Mr
Schwartz
yeah,
and
we
we
are
as
Mr
Dorsey
you
correctly
mentioned
well
aware
and
on
the
staff
side
as
well
about
the
situation
with
the
mosque.
As
recently
as
yesterday,
deputy
chief
Wayne
Vincent,
who
oversees
acpd's
Community
engagement
division,
spoke
at
the
Bangladesh
Islamic
Center's
celebration
and
during
the
ceremony,
the
the
president
Mr
and
I'm
apologize
in
advance
for
mispronouncing.
H
If
I
do
his
his
last
name
of
Mr
Muhammad
told
his
worshipers
that
the
mosque
is
working
and
should
hopefully
soon
receive
permitting
to
begin
construction
on
their
parking
lot,
and
that
is
the
long-term
solution
that
we
are
looking
for.
We
meaning
the
county.
The
county
manager's
office,
stand
ready
to
facilitate,
with
regard
to
any
permits
that
they
do
need
to
begin
the
construction
and
to
expedite
those,
if
at
all
possible
and
do-
and
you
asked
I
believe
you're
asking
about
enforcement.
H
While
we
await
the
parking
lot,
acpd
parking
aides
have
written
tickets
and
do
write
tickets
for
instances
as
Mr
Terry
described.
Double
parking
parking
in
front
of
driveways
in
violation
of
county
code
and
Ordinance
acpd
do
and
can
write
tickets.
We
would
encourage
Mr,
Terry
and
others
to
continue,
calling
as
I
know
they
do
the
non-emergency
line
as
soon
as
they
see
these
issues
crop
up.
H
We
have
also
taken
additional
steps
within
the
special
enforcement
section
to
engage
with
the
mosque
and
make
sure
that
they
understand
and
are
communicating
to
their
their
their
community
that
that
these
these
are
traffic
safety
issues.
We
are
aware
that
the
the
mosque,
the
Bangladeshi
Islamic
Center,
has
it
hired
uniform
security
to
actually
monitor
during
High
usage
situations,
and
they
are,
we
believe,
fully
committed
in
good
faith
to
eliminating
this.
This.
H
What
we
know
is
a
burden
on
the
community,
so
we
are
working
with
them
and
I
apologize
for
having
not
perhaps
myself
followed
up
with
Mr
Terry
and
we'd
be
happy
to
do
that
after
this
meeting.
So
thank
you.
A
Mr
Aiken,
thank
you
very
much
for
that
update
and,
hopefully
Mr
Terry.
You
can
see
that
we're
working
on
multiple
levels
to
try
and
deal
with
this.
The
most
important
and
encouraging
of
this
is
the
permanent
parking
solution
that
the
bic
is
pursuing.
Something
that
I
will
note
is
coming
at
certainly
great
expense
to
them.
So
hopefully
you
view
them
as
a
partner
in
trying
to
make
sure
this
doesn't
continue
to
create
difficult
circumstances
within
the
community.
Ms
Garvey.
I
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
have
a
question,
I
guess
maybe
from
the
manager,
maybe
for
for
Mr,
Aiken,
I'm,
convinced
I
think
in
the
long
run
that
we're
really
working
on
it,
we
should
get
to
a
much
better
place,
but
at
the
moment
say
you're
in
your
house
and
the
car
is
blocked
and
you've
got
to
leave
real
quickly.
Maybe
you
need
to
take
somebody
to
the
hospital
or
something.
What
are
you
supposed
to
do?
Are
you
supposed
to
call
yourself
an
Uber
or
a
cab
to
get
out.
G
I
I
would
say
in
that
situation
calling
the
police,
not
the
non-emergency
number,
but
the
actual
9-1-1
but
I
know
that
that's
happened
in
the
past.
I.
Don't
have
a
clever
solution,
other
than
to
say
that
you're,
probably
going
to
have
to
rely
on
alternative
means
yeah.
So
we
can't
be
everywhere
at
once,
but
we
will
do
our
best
I.
I
Totally
understand,
thank
you,
I
think
you
know,
hopefully
we'll
fix
it,
because
these
can't
have
really
dire
consequences
for
people
which
I
think
we
do
all
understand
and
I'm
sure
it's
frustrating
for
Mr
Terry
to
have
to
keep
coming
back,
and
it
just
takes
a
while
to
get
to
the
right
solution,
but
thank
you
for
your
tolerance
and
hopefully
it's
a
real
emergency
people
will
find
other
ways
to
get
where
they
need
to
go.
Thank
you.
A
J
You
Mr
D
ferranti.
Thank
you.
Mr,
chair,
Mr,
Terry
I
mentioned
it
actually
to
the
to
this
issue.
The
first
thing
I
said
when
I
saw
president
kayam
and
I.
Don't
know
that
I
have
this
pronunciation
of
his
last
name.
J
Perfect,
he's
kind
about
my
pronunciation,
but
I
did
mention
it
yesterday
to
him
and
I
think
it's
wise
I
don't
have
to
be
this
person,
but
I
think
I
really
appreciate
Mr,
Mr,
Aiken's
follow-up,
but
and
I
think
that
my
perception
when
I've
been
a
couple
of
times
to
the
Bic
the
last
year,
is
that
it's
been
better
than
two
and
three
years
ago.
But
that
does
not
mean
sufficiently
as
the
example
that
Miss
Garvey
mentioned.
J
So
at
least
I'd
suggest
I
really
appreciate
Mr
Aiken's
leadership,
but
perhaps
one
board
member
might
join
that
just
to
to
help,
as
we
see
things
through
over
the
coming
weeks
and
months,
and
it
does
not
have
to
be
me
and
I'm
also
not
trying
to
take
the
space
of
Mr
Aiken.
But
it
might
be
helpful
if
one
of
us
kind
of
followed
up
to
follow
through
that's
just
a
suggestion.
Yeah.
K
He's
a
chair,
it's
chair,
thank
you.
Mr
Mr,
Cherry
I
apologize
for
not
having
followed
up
with
you
personally,
but
I
went
after
your
testimony
on
March
and
knowing
that
the
month
of
Ramadan
was
beginning.
K
I
went
and
I
met
with
president
already
at
the
very
beginning
of
the
month
of
Ramadan,
and
he
committed
back
then
to
to
have
at
least
four
for
each
Friday
pray
around,
which
is
the
most
visited
one
to
have
at
least
four
paid
people
who
would
manage
their
parking
on
top
of
the
volunteers
from
the
Majid
there.
Obviously,
this
was
not
enough.
It's
the
first
month
of
Ramadan
after
kovit,
so
this
they
were
themselves
overwhelmed.
K
We
talked
at
some
point
after
one
week
into
the
month
to
find
a
way
to
have
some
shuttle,
or
you
know,
to
have
a
place
where
people
could
park
and
then
be
shuttled
to
the
Ajit
for
the
Friday
prayers.
This
was
logistically
not
possible
at
this
point,
but
I
do
believe
that
you
are
absolutely
right.
K
This
is
an
ongoing
problem
on
on
specific
festivities,
and
especially
during
the
month
of
Ramadan,
it
will
be
very
difficult
to
manage,
and
so
we
must
look
into
extending
our
planning
for
that
also,
as
as,
if
it
were
a
special
event,
every
Friday,
Friday,
prayers
and
and
this
year,
on
top
of
everything
else,
the
Eid
Eid
Mubarak
to
everybody
who's
celebrating
yesterday
and
today
it
was
fell
on
a
Friday,
so
that
doubles
down
on
the
density
of
of
demand
for
the
the
services
of
the
Majid.
A
So
Mr
Karen
Thomas,
your
connections.
K
Yeah,
oh
okay,
I'm,
sorry,
I,
but
I
believe
that
I
I
conveyed
what
I
wanted
to
say
this.
This
needs
a
a
bigger
solution
to
find
a
place
where
the
cars
can
be
parked
and
shuttled
to
the
to
the
magita
during
festivities
with
High
attendance,
especially
like,
like
during
101
Ramadan,
that
we
just
completed.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Okay.
Moving
on
Mr
Sirocco,
thank
you
for
coming
and
I
understand
that
you
have
surfaced
these
concerns
with
the
manager,
as
well
as
the
DHS
director,
which
I
would
encourage,
because,
while
certainly
you
make
a
logical
and
thoughtful
case
here,
the
actual
decisions
on
the
logistics
of
how
we're
going
to
deal
with
individualized
circumstances
best
resides
with
those
folks.
Instead
of
having
the
board
convened
to
consider
what
are
the
possible
right
policy
right
right,
operational
choices,
I
don't
know
Mr
manager.
G
No,
no
I
I
would
only
say
that
you
know
both
Alex
and
Susan,
who
I
know
very
well
I
mean
and
have
been
very
thoughtful
in
their
concerns.
I
have
talked
with
Anita
Friedman
and
the
folks
over
at
the
Department
of
Human
Services,
and
they
have
taken
within
their
discretion
the
decision
about
the
criteria
about
and
what
they
think
is
appropriate
and
they've
had
the
developmental
disability
support
coordinator
working
with
the
sirocco's
daughter
and
beyond
that,
I.
Don't
really
have
anything
else
to
comment
on
so.
A
A
We
can't
I'm
sorry,
but
please
I,
hope
you
understand
fundamentally,
that
the
board
of
five
people
getting
involved
in
making
these
individual
policy
decisions
would
create
very
much
inequities
throughout
all
of
the
clients
that
are
served,
creating
the
desire
for
them
to
appeal
of
getting
an
unfavorable
decision
to
the
board
and
an
expectation
that
there
would
be
consistency
in
how
criteria
were
applied
for
everyone.
So
we
do
want
to
encourage
you
to
to
work
and
continue
to
present
your
case.
A
L
No
I
think
Mr
chair,
that's
really
well
put
it.
Would
it
would
help
me
Mr
manager
if
I
could
get
in
follow-up
if
you
could
just
share
with
us
what
the
criteria
are
that
are
being
applied
to
determine
where
exceptions
are
made
to
the
waiver
funded
Service,
as
per
the
recommendation
recommended
policy?
L
If
that
is
in
fact
the
policy
that
what
what
if
we
have
adopted
it
with
the
csb
recommended
as
Mr
Sirocco
noted,
is
ensure
that
clients
have
access
to
Transportation
appropriate
to
their
needs
in
cases
where
motive
care
is
insufficient
to
guarantee
that
access,
if
I,
could
just
have
some
sense
of
how
that
determination
is
being
made.
I
think
that
would
help
as
Mr
Dorsey
noted
in
future
circumstances,
as
with
Anna
Sirocco.
Thank
you
for
coming
in.
I
Garvey
yeah
no
I
just
quit,
because
I
think
we
all
know
the
sorokos
and
appreciate
you
coming,
but
I
think
our
our
chair
laid
out
pretty
quickly.
What
the
you
know
appropriate
lanes
are
for
all
of
us
to
be
in
but
again
I
I
would
add.
If
you'd
like
to
come
to
Open
Door
Monday
or
you
know,
have
a
meeting
with
AMS.
We
we
do
meet
with
people
and
don't
want
to
get
out
of
where
we
are,
but
I
would
also
appreciate.
I
A
Thank
you,
Mr
Kroll,
thank
you
for
bringing
us
the
I'm
glad
to
see
it
I'm,
not
sure
that
it
happened
last
year,
the
donate
a
bike
event
at
from
Wheels
to
Africa.
This
is
really
one
of
the
just
wonderful
Arlington
stories
of
initiative
and
activism
and
to
see
that
it's
been
sustained
for
so
many
years
is
terrific.
A
You
know
the
origins
of
this
organization,
founded
by
an
11
year
old
to
you
know,
really
take
some
of
the
bounty
and
the
resources
that
are
generated
in
our
communities
that
no
longer
have
a
desired
life
and
to
make
sure
that
they
are
given
to
individuals
who
who
would
value
them
and
who
can
get
life
out
of
them.
So,
even
though
we
typically
do
not
embrace
the
idea
of
having
this
forum
used
as
a
way
of
advertising
events,
I
think
this
is
one
where,
hopefully,
everyone
can
agree,
it's
a
good
exception.
A
So
April
29
2023.
If
you
have
a
a
bike
that
is
no
longer
used,
and
there
are
other
other
supplies
that
they
collect
as
well.
You
can
take
those
to
Washington
Liberty
between
10
and
2.
and
finally,
Ms
glass.
Thank
you
for
coming
and
we
have
followed
the
news
of
the
Community
funded
tree
canopy
study,
which
I
know
our
staff
is
digging
into
when
we're
looking
at
again,
I
will
say.
As
I've
said
repeatedly,
there
is
no
daylight
in
terms
of
desired
outcomes
to
have
a
healthy
and
growing
tree
canopy
in
Arlington.
A
We
take
advantage
of
that,
as
you
noted,
with
an
aggressive
policy
in
our
public
spaces,
we're
continuing
to
refine
that
by
making
sure
that
not
only
do
we
plant
sufficiently,
but
that
they're
maintained
appropriately
and
are
devoting
the
necessary
budgetary
resources
to
do
that
in
private
private
property
and
private
opportunities
where
we
do
have
leverage
such
as
with
site
plan
reviews.
We
also
have
an
aggressive
tree
planting
program
and
are
growing
in
our
ability
to
Monitor
and
enforce
conditions
that
ensure
that
they
become
healthy
and
Thrive.
A
We
do
have
a
lot
of
private
property
that
is
not
subject
to
those
aggressive
planting
and
and
maintenance
requirements
that
we
can
enact
in
those
other
circumstances,
and
we
continue
to
seek
both
creative
ways
as
well
as
legislative
fixes
to
ensure
that
we
can
have
as
healthy
and
robust
a
tree
canopy
as
we
can
I
know,
there's
a
lot
to
say
about
this
issue.
I'll
leave
it
at
that
Ms
Garvey.
I
J
Mr,
chair
Mr,
D
ferranti.
Thank
you
very
much.
One
area
that
I've
had
conversations
and
want
to
work
with
staff
on
eventually
is
Department
of
Parks
and
Recreation
is
working
on
tree
Equity,
related
work
and
I
think
it's
appropriate
appropriate
for
staff
to
lead
that.
But
in
light
of
this,
the
slides
that
talk
about
disparate
tree
canopy
cover
that's
something
that
I'm
particularly
interested
in
continuing
to
work
with
the
manager
and
staff
on
thanks.
D
A
You
and
with
that
we
have
concluded
our
public
comment.
Thank
you
to
all
of
our
speakers
for
for
bringing
your
issues
and
concern
to
us.
We
do
look
forward
to
following
up
as
we
can,
where
appropriate
and
for
everyone
else.
We
will
get
started
with
our
regular
meeting
in
just
a
couple
of
minutes
after
we
take
a
brief
break,
we'll
be
back
here
at
nine
o'clock.
Thank
you.
A
A
B
Yes,
we
have
one
item
that
has
been
pulled
item
number
one
which
is
SP
105u211
use,
permit
review
for
an
Open
Air
Market
has
been
pulled.
A
Oh
great,
because
of
the
timing
of
this,
this
will
be
an
item
that
is
pulled
and
then
ultimately
rescinded,
but
procedurally
it
has
to
be
pulled
understood
all
right.
So
at
this
point,
colleagues
I
would
welcome
a
motion
on
the
consent
agenda
items
so
moved
by
Mr
D
ferranti.
Is
there
a
second
from
Ms
Crystal
all
right?
Thank
you
very
much.
We'll
now
move
to
a
vote
on
the
consent
agenda.
Minus
item
number
one,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
I
I
any
opposed
the
eyes,
have
it
five
zero.
A
So
the
item
that
was
removed
from
today's
consent
agenda
will
be
considered
at
our
recess
meeting
on
Tuesday
the
25th
no
earlier
than
6
30
PM.
If
anyone
would
like
to
speak
on
that
item,
which
I
don't
expect,
they
will
please
visit
the
county
board's
website
at
countyboard.arlingtonva.us
or
call
our
office
at
703-228-3130
to
sign
up
in
advance.
You
may
also
sign
up
at
the
point
of
the
meeting
now
as
we
look
at
our
consent
agenda.
The
board
just
took
action
on
dozens
of
items
and.
A
Those
include
minor
site
plan
amendments,
use,
permit
requests,
ordinance,
amendments
request
to
advertise
and
more.
These
items
were
put
on
our
consent
agenda
because
they
are
generally
thought
to
be
non-controversial,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
they
are
unimportant.
So
I'd
like
to
take
a
couple
of
minutes
to
highlight
several
items
in
particular.
First
items:
three
and
four
are
child
care
use
permits
where
the
board
approved
to
use
permits.
A
One
a
one
is
for
an
after-school
program
for
venerable
organization,
Aspire
that
will
be
operated
out
of
the
Gillian
Place
property
operated
by
APPA
on
Columbia
Pike,
and
it
will
serve
at-risk
students
in
grades
three
for
three
three
through
five
excuse
me:
the
children's
weekday
program
is
a
new
child's
Care
Center
within
the
Church
of
the
Covenant
that
will
serve
up
to
71
children
from
infancy
at
three
months
through
six
years
and
as
I
mentioned
Aspire
is
in
the
Alcova
Heights
neighborhood
on
Columbia
Pike,
and
the
children's
weekday
program
at
the
church
of
the
Covenant
is
in
The
Donaldson
run
neighborhood
next
item.
A
13
are
amendments
to
the
Arlington
zoning
ordinance
regarding
indoor
entertainment
uses
in
continuation
of
our
commercial
Market.
Resiliency
study
a
strategy.
The
board
has
approved
several
amendments
to
the
zoning
ordinance
to
update
our
defined
indoor
recreation
use
tables
and
streamline
our
commercial
indoor
recreation
use
process.
These
changes
directly
respond
to
the
demand
for
indoor
recreation
in
walkable
locations.
Indeed,
activities
such
as
Escape
rooms,
climbing
gyms
and
even
virtual
or
augmented
reality.
Gaming
have
increased
in
popularity,
and
these
amendments
will
help
us
respond
to
these
Trends
and
create
more
vibrant
and
Innovative
spaces
in
Arlington
items.
A
23
and
24.
Some
grant
funding
where
the
board
has
authorized
the
county
manager
to
accept
federal
and
state
funding
for
Arlington
County
a
little
over
a
hundred
and
eighteen
thousand
dollars
received
from
the
Virginia
Department
of
transportation's
congestion
mitigation
and
air
quality
Grant,
which
will
bolster
our
efforts
to
facilitate
and
market
alternative
commute
options
such
as
Transit
biking
and
shared
rides.
We
received
25
000
in
additional
funding
from
the
Virginia
Department
of
Aging
and
rehabilitative
services.
A
That
will
add
a
part-time
position
to
assist
the
Department
of
Human
Services
and
its
Outreach
and
support
operations
in
preparation
for
the
Medicaid,
open,
enrollment
period.
Items
25
and
26
are
two
property
Acquisitions.
As
part
of
our
storm
water
resiliency
program,
so
properties
located
at
4423
and
4433
18th
Street
North,
and
they
will
be
demolished
and
used
to
make
Watershed
improvements
in
this
area
of
the
county.
A
This
course
may
sound
a
little
bit
unconventional
unconventional,
but
as
flooding
and
flooding
risk
get
more
severe
in
our
region,
the
county
must
innovate
its
mitigation
strategies
to
address
impacted
residential
areas.
We
launched
this
voluntary
acquisition
program
in
2022
and
I've
identified
specific
properties
in
the
Spout
Run
Watershed
that
could
be
repurposed
to
manage
extreme
flooding.
A
Items
28
through
30
are
requests
to
advertise
public
hearings
on
two
proposed
amendments
to
the
Arlington
County
zoning
ordinance
and
changes
to
the
Arlington
County
code
item
28,
which
we
heard
no
earlier
than
June
10th,
would
allow
additional
food
delivery
establishments
such
as
ghost
kitchens,
which
create
food
for
off
food
which
create
food
for
off-premises
consumption.
This
item
would
also
clarify
existing
zoning
ordinance
standards
that
address
shared
commercial
kitchens,
food
catering
services
and
food
delivery
by
restaurants
or
similar
food
related
uses
within
a
range
of
mixed-use
commercial
and
Industrial
zoning
districts.
A
Item
29,
which
will
be
heard
on
May
1st
by
the
Planning
Commission,
and
then
the
board,
at
its
May
meeting,
if
approved,
would
correct,
minor
technical
errors
and
inconsistencies
throughout
the
zoning
ordinance.
These
are
part
of
regular
and
routine
upkeep
where
we
review
the
zoning
ordinance
to
make
sure
it
is
technically
up
to
date
and
clear
and
item
30,
which
will
be
heard
publicly
on
May
13th.
A
It
would
authorize
an
increase
in
the
taxi
cab
drop
charges
from
three
dollars
to
three
dollars
and
fifty
cents
and
the
cost
of
the
charge
for
a
sixth
of
a
mile
of
travel
from
36
Cents
to
40
cents,
and
would
also
increase
the
wait
time
from
this
from
36
to
40
cents,
36
Cents
to
40
cents
as
well.
These
changes
have
been
recommended
to
recalibrate
fares
and
Associated
revenues
to
counterbalance
today's
operating
costs.
A
I
do
not
remember
specifically,
but
it
has
been
quite
a
while,
since
TAXI
fares
have
been
adjusted
and
in
order
to
ensure
robust
alternatives
to
ride
share
and
more
specifically,
to
make
sure
that
we
have
vehicle
for
hires
available
for
people
with
Mobility
challenges.
This
is
something
that
stakeholders
have
universally
viewed
as
being
necessary.
B
G
M
So
this
item
consists
of
three
parts
as
previously
mentioned.
The
first
is
a
rezoning
request.
We
also
have
a
new
site
plan
Amendment
and
then
we
also
have
an
Associated
or
new
site
plan
and
we
have
an
Associated
site
plan
Amendment
for
the
Bartlett
Apartments
to
modify
their
required
parking
as
well
as
permit
off-site
parking
for
the
Americana
site
plan.
Mr.
A
M
So
the
site
is
located
at
1460
Richmond
Highway
in
the
Crystal
City
neighborhood,
located
between
E
Street
and
Richmond
Highway.
It
is
currently
occupied
by
the
former
Americana
Hotel
building
and
surface
parking
lot.
As
you
can
see
in
this
aerial
image
and
as
shown
in
the
second
image
the
whole,
you
can
see
the
hotel
building
front,
the
existing
elevated
portion
of
Richmond
Highway.
M
M
So
the
new
site
plan
it
consists
of
a
19-story
residential
Tower
built
at
a
lead
gold
certification.
It
will
include
639
units
in
almost
3
900
square
feet
of
ground
floor
retail,
for
a
total
density
of
8.64.
Far
parking
will
be
located
on
site
in
an
underground
parking
garage
as
well
as
off-site
at
the
existing
Bartlett
apartments
for
a
residential
parking
ratio
of
0.6
spaces
per
unit,
and
the
applicant
is
requesting
the
following
zoning
ordinance
modifications
listed
here.
M
So
one
deviation
I
wanted
to
talk
about
is
the
minimum
Podium
Frontage
requirement
so
as
proposed
on
Eid
Street?
The
facade
includes
a
50-foot
recessed
area
that
leads
to
the
building's
main
entrance,
which
is
a
deviation
from
the
design
guidelines
so
to
align
with
the
spirit
of
the
sector
plan
guidance
in
creating
both
a
continuous
and
activated
Street.
M
Edge
staff
did
coordinate
with
the
applicant
on
certain
design
revisions
to
improve
its
relationship
with
the
street,
so
the
applicant
did
end
up
incorporating
you
know:
wood
bench
seating
with
integrated
planters
that
wraps
around
the
retail
patio
and
also
creates
movement
into
this
space,
and
then
other
changes
include
soft
lighting
and
the
soft
fit
in
the
tabletop
columns
and
the
benches,
as
well
as
various
biophilic
design
elements.
M
M
So
both
Street
frontages
are
being
designed
in
coordination
with
two
ongoing
Transportation
projects.
The
first
is
the
County's
Southeast
Street
complete
Street
project,
and
then
we
also
have
the
vdots
Route
1,
multimodal
Improvement
study,
which
plans
to
bring
this
elevated
segment
of
Richmond
Highway
to
an
at
grade
Boulevard.
M
M
So
this
involves
a
reduced
parking
ratio
from
0.79
to
0.7
spaces
per
unit
and
then
also
being
able
to
permit
206
spaces
for
the
Americana
Hotel
site
plan.
So
both
the
reduced
residential
parking
ratio,
as
well
as
the
off-site
parking
Arrangement,
is
supported
by
the
residential
parking
guidelines.
Guidelines
adopted
by
the
county.
M
M
So,
overall,
the
site
plan
is
consistent
with
the
glop,
the
zoning
ordinance
and
sector
plan
guidance
and
also
advances
several
key
County
goals
and
policies.
So,
first,
the
project
will
provide
the
base,
affordable,
housing
contribution
and
as
well
as
an
additional
ahif
contribution
which
could
be
leveraged
at
the
nearby
crystal
houses
and
help
in
the
creation
of
approximately
93
committed,
affordable
units
for
a
period
of
99
years.
M
The
project
will
be
built
at
a
lead
gold
certification
level
and
meet
the
Green
Building
and
Center
Program
criteria,
including
providing
energy
star
appliances
and
fixtures.
Electric
vehicle
charging,
as
well
as
bird
friendly,
facade
material
and
then
lastly,
the
project
is,
in
general,
conformance
with
the
sector
plan
design,
guidelines
in
terms
of
building
massing
and
site
design.
A
O
Can
you
guys
hear
me?
Okay
great?
Let
me
just
make
sure
this
works
perfect.
Good
morning,
everyone,
members
of
the
board
again,
my
name
is
Jack
Kelly
I'm,
a
vice
president
at
jbg,
Smith
and
I'll
be
sharing
a
brief
overview
of
the
Americana
site
project
before
I
get
going
just
a
quick
reminder
for
those
watching
at
home.
This
presentation
and
recording
will
be
available
on
the
County's
website.
O
Here's
just
a
quick
overview
of
how
we've
organized
our
presentation
today,
much
of
the
content
here,
we'll
reiterate
what
we
just
heard
from
staff,
so
I'll
try
not
to
dwell
on
it
on
anything
too
redundant
but
big
picture.
You
know
we're
really
excited
about
this
project
and
are
thankful
for
all
of
the
hard
work
by
Arlington
County
staff,
our
project
team
and
the
local
stakeholders
that
have
participated
in
the
process.
O
We
think
it's
clear
that
the
collective
input
that
we've
received
along
the
way
has
improved
the
proposed
project
substantially
and
we're
looking
forward
to
keeping
up
the
momentum.
Okay,
just
going
to
start
here
with
a
brief
project
overview
I
think
I'll
hit
this
relatively
quickly.
This
site
is
right
across
from
Med
Park,
we'll
go
back
here,
sorry
Bound
by
Southeast
to
the
west
and
Route
One
to
the
east.
As
you
can
see
here,
it's
a
relatively
long
and
narrow
site
jumping
to
some
pictures
of
the
existing
conditions
out
on
South
East
Street.
O
O
The
aerial
plan
here
reflects
the
current
project.
We
have
approximately
527
residential
square
feet
and
just
under
4
000
square
feet
of
retail.
The
program
includes
639
residential
units
and
188
on-site,
residential
and
visitor
parking
spaces.
We'll
talk
about
our
off-site
parking
strategy
here
in
a
minute
now
we're
going
to
move
on
to
a
little
more
information
about
the
site
design.
O
So,
to
start
this,
we
worked
with
our
architect
to
ensure
that
the
building's
massing
responded
to
the
dimensions
of
the
site,
which
again
are
long
and
narrow,
while
respecting
the
Crystal
City
sector
plan's
guidance
on
setbacks
to
existing
buildings.
We
also
wanted
to
ensure
that
we
could
use
the
massing
to
create
visual
interest,
given
the
scale
of
this
building-
and
you
can
see
in
this
diagram
here
where
we
started
to
push
and
pull
on
the
articulation
of
the
facade
plan
to
achieve
what
we
think
is
an
attractive
balance
and
distinctive
areas
within
the
massing.
O
Should
switch
here
in
a
second
just
an
overview
of
the
ground
floor
plan
here,
we've
included
a
legend
at
the
top.
It's
color
coded
I'll.
Just
point
out
a
few
highlights
here.
We
do
have
retail
along
Eads,
as
mentioned
directly
across
from
the
Met
Park
retail.
We
think
this
is
a
great
spot
in
the
streetscape
along
Eads
here
to
help
add
some
activation
to
the
east
side
of
Eads.
We
have
residential
units
at
the
ground
floor
level.
O
Those
are
noted
here
in
blue
we've,
also
concentrated
our
loading
and
parking
entry
to
the
south
in
Gray,
which
is
served
out,
the
existing
curb
cut
to
the
existing
Hotel.
Finally,
we
have
our
amenity
space
on
the
Eastern
portion
of
the
building.
This
was
actually
a
a
pretty
large
topic
of
discussion
during
the
process.
O
If
and
when
Route
1
comes
down
to
grade,
and
so
we've
moved
what
was
originally
residential
units
from
that
portion
of
the
building
and
swap
that
out
for
the
amenity,
which
primarily,
is
the
gym
to
add
some
activation
to
the
glass
line
along
the
building
Frontage
there
and
we'll
look
at
some
images
of
that
here
in
a
second
just
going
to
Breeze
through
some
additional
imagery
here.
This
is
a
rendering
that's
looking
South
down
Southeast
Street.
It
features
actually
a
pretty
good
view
of
the
balconies.
O
This
building
has
around
40
percent
of
the
units
have
balconies,
which
we
like
to
do
in
most
of
our
projects.
Those
balconies
use
a
metal
rail
that
was
actually
inspired
by
the
design
of
the
previous
Americana
Hotel
Site,
as
you
drive
into
Crystal
City
on
Richmond
Highway.
Additionally,
the
current
design
includes
some
feedback
we
received
through
the
community
engagement
process,
where
we've
added
an
additional
pedestrian
pathway.
O
It's
not
the
too
visible
in
this
image,
but
we'll
get
there
in
a
second
and
we've
also
included
additional
Tower
setbacks
along
EAD
Street
here
at
five
and
eight
feet
respectively
at
the
North
and
the
South.
We
think
that
really
helps
to
find
the
podium
expression
moving
on
here
to
a
view
of
the
residential
entry
here.
This
is
a
really
good
view
of
that
pedestrian
Pathway
to
the
page
left
that
leads
you
from
South
eat,
Street
all
the
way
over
to
the
route
one
Road
there.
O
You
can
also
see
well
here
the
tabletop
element,
which
was
a
topic
of
much
discussion
during
the
process.
We
think
it
did
an
upgrade.
It's
a
signature
feature
of
the
design
here
and,
as
Kevin
mentioned,
we've
Incorporated
additional
biophilic
elements
with
a
wood
bench
and
some
additional
planting
along
the
the
streetscape
here
to
further
activate
the
residential
entry.
There's
also
some
resident
some
retail
seating.
Just
beyond
that
bench.
I'll
show
you
a
view
of
that
here.
In
a
second.
O
This
is
looking
back
out
the
other
way
towards
Eads
and
again
a
couple
things
to
highlight
here
with
that
frame
coming
down
to
page
right.
That
tabletop
feature
is
cloud
material
Precast
and
has
about
a
foot
and
a
half
of
of
space
in
between
each
of
those
fins
that
you
can
see
there.
The
intent
there
is
to
provide
additional
light
and
air
throughout
that
space,
as
people
from
both
the
general
public
and
people
coming
to
the
building
walk
through
this
area.
O
You
can
see
here
also
there
is
some
additional
outdoor
dining
for
that
retail
space
to
the
page
left.
Really.
The
intent
here
was
to
create
this
condition
as
something
of
an
outdoor
room,
and
so
we've
tried
to
make
sure
that
you
know
both
from
an
accessibility
standpoint
and
a
design
standpoint.
This
space
feels
really
nice.
You
can
also
note
some
of
the
additional
wood
soffit
material
at
the
at
the
top
there.
O
That
was
something
we
did
during
the
community
engagement
process
as
well,
and
this
also
highlights
those
fins
which
we
think
is
a
really
great
opportunity
to
add
some
additional
lighting
that
could
be
quite
distinctive
as
well.
At
night
we
have
an
image
of
that
further
in
the
presentation,
so
this
building
really
doesn't
have
a
backside.
We
think
you
know.
For
the
most
part,
all
facades
are
visible,
so
we've
used
high
quality
materials
and
detail
throughout.
O
This
is
a
rendering
from
Route
One,
which
represents
the
future
condition
and
we
think
showcase
as
well
the
contrasting
vertical
and
horizontal
Precast
Expressions
that
we
think
actually
pay
nice
homage
to
some
of
the
mid-century
modern
architecture
from
the
original
Americana
Hotel.
O
Now,
I'm
just
going
to
go
into
a
brief
overview
of
the
Landscaping
that
we've
incorporated
into
the
project.
So
here's
a
view
of
that.
This
landscape
plan
includes
multiple
levels
of
biophilic
elements
across
the
project
at
the
ground
level,
we're
using
integrated
seating
and
Landscaping
to
help
activate
South
Eads,
as
mentioned
as
well,
along
the
residential
entry
and
The
Pedestrian
connection
to
the
north,
leading
into
the
private
space
at
the
northeast
corner
of
the
building
for
residents
of
the
project.
We've
also
included
an
outdoor
deck,
that's
surrounded
by
canopy
trees.
O
That's
connected
to
the
fitness
center.
We
have
a
second
floor
planted
Terrace
to
connect
to
the
co-working
space
on
South
Eads
above
the
retail,
and
then
we
have
two
Terraces
on
the
roof
both
to
the
west
and
the
east
side
of
the
building
to
provide
an
open
air
amenity
and
green
space
that
contributes
to
the
Project's
tree
canopy
coverage,
and
there
are
some
great
views
down
the
highway
Corridor
there
downtown
as
well.
O
Here's
another
view
of
the
podium
on
Southeast
Street
again
throughout
the
sprc
process.
We
we
did
work
with
staff
in
the
community
to
figure
out
where
to
add
biophilic
elements
where
practical,
and
so
you
can
see
some
of
those
reflected
here
in
in
this
image.
Above
the
the
retail
glass
line
at
the
podium,
you'll
see
the
additional
green
planter
row
and
then
you
can
kind
of
see
that
that
residential
entry
bench
and
Associated
Landscaping
as
well.
O
So
we
think
this
is
an
inviting
condition
flipping
to
just
a
night
view
here,
where
you
can
see
better
some
of
those
opportunities
to
really
accentuate
the
the
tabletop
feature
there
and
the
the
retail
one
thing
to
note
as
well
from
this
angle,
is
that
tabletop
does
provide
a
practical
function
as
well
in
screening
some
of
the
loading
and
entering
into
the
parking
from
the
south.
O
This
product
is
seeking
lead.
Gold,
certification
and,
through
the
entitlement
process,
has
refined
the
design
to
meet
the
criteria
of
the
gbi
program,
which
includes
a
design
performing
at
least
20
percent
better
by
energy
performance
over
a
baseline
building.
It
also
incorporates
five
percent
level
two
EV
charging
stations
day,
one
while
being
15
EV
ready
for
future
demand.
We
also
have
bird
friendly
glass
that
we've
incorporated
into
the
design
at
the
greatest
in
the
areas
with
the
greatest
Collision
threats
and
as
part
of
our
commitment
to
sustainability
for
our
entire
company.
O
Moving
into
just
a
few
highlights
from
Transportation
Commission
from
the
end
of
March
just
a
quick
overview
here.
This
project
is
very
well
located
with
excellent
access
to
public
transportation.
We
have
two
Metro
stations
in
less
than
a
10-minute
walk
from
the
site.
We
also
have
10
bus
routes
within
a
quarter
mile
as
well,
and
then
the
protected
bike
lane
out
front
which
you'll
get
a
look
at
here
in
a
second.
O
So,
as
mentioned,
this
project
is
currently
designed
to
have
a
0.6
per
unit
parking
ratio
with
half
of
those
spaces
below
grade
and
on-site,
and
the
other
half
located
down
the
street
at
the
Bartlett.
The
image
on
the
right
will
Flex
what
that
walk.
Could
look
like
it's
about
three
minutes
from
the
site.
O
O
There
separated
by
a
concrete
Island,
and
then
you
get
into
the
protected
bike
lane
the
tree
pit
area
and
then
10
foot,
clear
sidewalk
as
you
lead
up
to
the
Leading
Edge
of
the
building
foreign
we've
got
an
additional
image
here
that
reflects
kind
of
a
top-down
view,
of
the
curb
cut
condition
that
we've
concentrated
into
one
curb
cut
off
of
South
Eads,
and
you
can
see
better
the
the
way
that
the
streetscape
is
organized
as
part
of
that
County
project
I
believe
it's
called
cc23
the
complete
Street
project.
O
We've
also
got
the
public
access
pedestrian
path
through
the
site
as
well,
and
then
significant
contributions
to
the
affordable
housing
fund,
just
over
nine
million
dollars
to
help
support
those
units
at
Crystal
houses
and
then
again
lead
gold
and
we
are
participating
in
the
BBI
program
that
wraps
us
up.
Thank.
A
P
Thank
you,
chair
Dorsey,
the
Planning
Commission
heard
this
item
on
our
April
10th
meeting
are
primarily
of
our
discussion
focused
around
four
areas:
bird
friendly
glass,
the
extent
to
which
county
policies
support
its
inclusion
and
at
what
level
and
height
of
that
glass,
the
extent
to
which
the
tabletop
feature
will
remain,
and
the
plan
within
the
applicants
for
that
tabletop
feature
and
a
discussion
around
the
affordable
housing
contributions
that
the
applicant
plans
to
make
and,
finally,
a
support
for
the
Transportation
commission's
desire
for
the
site
parking
requirements
to
be
reduced
on
site.
P
We
approved
it
unanimously,
both
a
Amendment
motion
to
endorse
the
parking
reduction
and
a
General
approval
for
the
whole
site.
Sorry
pause
there
for
a
moment.
Thank.
A
Q
Good
morning,
good
morning,
Transportation
Commission.
Yes,
this
is
Chris
Slatt
speaking.
We
heard
this
as
unanimously
supported
the
approval
of
both
the
site
development
and
the
amendment
to
Metropolitan
basis,
four
and
five
to
support
the
off-site
parking.
Q
Additionally,
we've
been
a
recommendation
to
the
board
that
this
site
be
approved
for
a
lower
parking
ratio
than
is
requested
by
the
applicant
solely
to
give
additional
flexibility
to
the
applicant
so
that,
if
Market
nutrients
change
between
now
in
construction,
they
could
reduce
the
parking
ratio
without
a
discussion
or
they
found,
for
instance,
some
sort
of
technical
issue
during
final
design
that
make
it
difficult
to
provide
the
number
of
parking
spaces
that
they've
initially
proposed
to
be
able
to
deal
with
that
eventuality.
Q
Without
having
to
come
back
for
a
set
plan,
amendment
to
change
that
parking
ratio,
or
even
if,
after
construction,
they
find
that
they
need
to
maybe
take
one
of
those
parking
spaces
out
in
order
to
expand
the
bike.
Parking
or
you
know,
add
additional
electrical
infrastructure
for
additional
evening
parking
spaces
or
something
like
that
would
be
something
they
could
do
with
coming
back.
Q
So
I
will
keep
it
very
brief.
We're
very
supportive
of
the
development
we
really
thank
the
applicant
which
for
working
with
sbrc,
we
think
this
development
came
a
long
way
between
initial
submission
and
where
we
are
right
now.
I
really
appreciate
the
pedestrian
walkway
through.
What's
a
major
super
block
and
the
design
revisions
to
make
the
building
really
continue
to
work.
Well,
if
the
right
one
comes
down
to
great
and
that's
all
I've
done,
thank.
A
A
R
Good
morning
Mr,
chair
and
and
there's
the
Housing
Commission,
we
did
vote
in
favor.
We
did
have
one
board.
Member
excuse
me,
commissioner,
who
was
against
it
due
to
the
that
this
particular
project
did
not
provide
on-site,
see
Cas
units,
but
overall
we
did
vote
to
approve
the
on-site
project.
We
do
desire
to
have
more
on-site
to
excuse
me
committed
affordable
units,
so
we
do
understand
that
the
pressures
of
the
ahif
and
funding,
so
we
you
know,
we
request
that
the
funding
for
ahsc
increase,
if
possible,.
R
I
think
you
have
to
check
for
this
particular
site.
I
have
to
speak
for
another
one
though,
because
this
one,
it
was
pretty
straightforward.
You
just
request
more,
if
I'm
doing
through
the
AHA
funding,
so
that
future
projects
can
be
committed.
On-Site
projects,
CAF
units
can
be
committed
on
site.
A
B
I,
don't
believe
so
we
had
one
Cynthia
Lewin
but
I
believe
that's
just
a
duplicate
entry
from
the
public
from
the.
A
A
Otherwise,
no
public
speakers
correct
on
a
psych
plan
bringing
600
and
some
odd
units
to
a
community
that
might
be
our
first
wow
I,
say
with
a
great
deal
of
puzzlement.
The
discussion
is
now
with
the
County
Board
and,
given
that
we
have
had
all
of
our
commissions,
even
with
suggestions
for
improvement,
everyone
is
unanimously
supported
this
project.
We
have
no
one
here
to
speak,
I
think
best
to
get
a
motion
on
the
table.
First,
to
make
our
discussion
most
efficient.
Are
you
ready,
Ms,
Garvey.
I
I
am,
and
it's
three
parts
here,
I'll
move
that
we
basically
adopt
the
manager's
recommendation
for
items
33
a
b
and
c,
and
that
is
to
a
adopt
the
ordinance
attach.
The
staff
report
dated
April
14
2023
to
rezone
the
property
known
as
1460
Richmond
Highway
from
Rah
3.2,
multi-family
dwelling
and
Hotel
district
to
CEO,
Crystal,
City,
excused
Crystal,
City,
District
and
then
B.
In
addition
that
we
adopt
the
ordinance
also
attached
to
the
staff
report
dated
April
14.
for
site
plan
466
to
permit
the
construction
of
up
to
approximately
8.64.
I
Far
total
density,
including
approximately
527
128
square
feet,
doesn't
sound
approximate
to
me,
but
anyway,
of
residential
floor
area.
639
residential
units
that
is
and
3885
square
feet
of
retail
floor
area
with
modifications
is
set
forth
in
the
staff
report
and
other
modifications
necessary
to
achieve
the
proposed
development
subject
to
the
conditions
of
the
attached
ordinance
and
see.
If
finally,
also
move
that
we
approve
the
site
plan
amendment
in
the
April
14
staff
report
to
modify
required
parking
and
permit
off-site
parking
for
the
Americana
Hotel
site
plan
project
at
met.
I
A
I
I'd
actually
like
to
have
a
little
more
discussion
about
biophilia,
if
that's
all
right
and
a
couple
of
issues
that
actually
aren't,
maybe
so
specific
to
this
building
I
do
think
it's
great
but
looking
at
it
and
that
facade
I,
keep
thinking
I'd
like
to
see
a
lot
more
green
and
I
know
you
can't
tell
residents
what
to
do
and
I
also
do
worry
about
the
bird
friendly
glass,
which
I
noticed
the
Planning.
Commission
talked
about
and
I
wonder
if
Mr
Hughes
wanted
to
there
there's
some
notes
in
your
letter.
I
P
I
would
simply
characterize
it
as
a
continual
recurring
conversation
that
the
commission
has
at
many
site
plans
to
what
extent
County
policy
requires
it
and
to
what
extent
the
applicant
is
willing
to
provide
it
and
and
then
once
the
applicant's
going
to
provide
it
to
what
extent
it
is
necessary
on
buildings,
and
there
are
wonderful
resources
that
have
been
provided
to
us
by
many
stakeholders.
P
But
in
the
absence
at
the
moment
of
County
policy,
we
are
always
sort
of
in
this
Quagmire
of
exactly
what,
when
and
where
to
do
on
the
bird
friendly
glass.
So
exactly.
I
D
I
I
Vines
going
up
a
whole
lot,
more
green,
covering
all
of
that
Hardscape
going
up
and
down,
and
is
there
any
way
to
provide
I
guess
it
would
be
suggested
planters
for
people
to
have
on
their
railing
so
that
doesn't
fall
off
on
people
in
the
street
and
be
dangerous,
but
that
people
can
easily
put
make
it
easy
for
people
to
put
a
little
green
up
and
down
the
side
of
that
building.
Have
you
thought
about
that
at
all.
O
We
have
and
I
might
be
able
to
flip
to
an
image
here.
I
didn't
spend
too
much
time
on
it,
as
we
click
through
I
did
warn
you
when.
O
I
know
I,
recall
and
no
I
think
look.
This
is
something
that
clearly,
as
as
a
firm,
we
we
care
deeply
about
in
terms
of
making
sure
that,
where
we
can
within
the
architecture,
we
provide
those
opportunities.
I
think
the
nice
thing
about
this
one
is
again
in
terms
of
the
share
of
balconies.
O
We've
got
a
fairly
significant
share
of
these
units
that
do
have
balconies
and
I
think
from
an
operations
perspective
ensuring
that
we
have
the
ability
to
obviously
provide
this
space
within
the
balcony
for
those
planners,
but
make
sure
that,
from
a
maintenance
standpoint,
it's
not
too
difficult
to
get
water
out
there
and
kind
of
the
Practical
considerations
that
you're
going
to
run
into
as
we
encourage
people
to
and
if
you
might
want
to
flip
to
the
one
where
we
show-
and
this
is
a
little
bit
dark.
O
This
was
this
was
a
response
to
a
very
similar
comment
which,
at
this
point,
is
included
at
the
upper
end
of
the
podium
level
here,
where
we
do
have
these
units
that
have
additional
space
outside,
and
so
we've
tried
to
incorporate
I
think
what
you're
describing
with
some
sort
of
softening
between
the
units
that
allow
for
Vines
and
other
plants
to
both
provide
a
practical
purpose,
but
also
soften
up
The
Pedestrian
experience
as
well
as
you
walk
by
this
building,
but
noted
and
I.
O
Think
as
we
move
forward
from
an
operations
perspective,
we
should
just
make
sure
that
we
have
the
ability
to
serve
the
practical
uses
that
always
come
into
play.
When
you
evaluate
things
like
this,
because
we
want
to
make
it
as
easy
as
possible
for
people
to
have
small
gardens
and
and
planners
outside,
absolutely.
I
Thank
you
and
it's
something
I
think
I'm
planning
to
work
again,
not
not
on
you,
with
with
our
chief
climate
officer
that
we
have
I
just
think
we
can
be
doing
a
whole
lot
more
in
this
area
and
at
the
moment
you
know,
you're,
certainly
meeting
all
kinds
of
requirements.
The
lack
of
speakers
and
concern
and
all
of
the
approvals
you've
gotten
shows.
This
really
is
a
good.
I
It's
a
good
building
and
and
a
great
Improvement
on
the
site,
look
forward
to
getting
to
the
top
and
seeing
the
view
I
think
it's
going
to
be
pretty
incredible.
That's
great
and
as
I
say,
I
intend
to
be
working
a
little
more
for
my
colleagues
and
our
staff
on
a
little
more
protection
for
the
birds
and
trying
to
find
ways
to
get
more
green
up
and
down
our
buildings,
because
I
think
we
can
do
that
and
I
think
we
can
do
that.
J
You
Mr
chair
my
question:
is
there
two
sort
of
those
sort
of
related
topics
on
climate
and
I
think
you
touched
on
it
a
little
bit
but
in
in
earlier
conversations,
but
did
you
consider
solar
on
the
roof?
And
you
also
mentioned
the
the
overall
JVG
plan,
love
and
update?
There
was
once
a
time
where
a
large
company
talked
abstractly
about
working
on
solar,
and
then
they
delivered
a
huge
facility
in
Danville
that
we're
partnering
on
and
I,
like
the
latter
stage
of
things
a
little
bit
more
than
so.
J
O
We
just
didn't
have
the
room
for
it
and
in
terms
of
the
cost
benefit
you
know
you
might
be
able
to
fit
a
small
panel
here
or
there,
but
it
you
know
not
enough
to
move
the
needle,
and
so
so
that's
kind
of
the
answer
on
the
first
part
and
then
I
think
Kim
is
here
from
from
David
G
Smith
as
well.
She
might
be
able
to
speak
a
little
bit
in
more
detail
about
our
broader
efforts
around
sustainability
and
how
it
applies
to
this
project.
Sure.
J
Thank
you
and
I.
Don't
know
that
I
need
every
piece
of
it,
but
I
did
want
a
little
flavor
of
of
the
sense
of
the
plans
and
the
work
to
get
towards
a
electrical
supply
that
might
be
renewable.
S
Sure
thank
you
good
morning,
everyone
in
2021
jbg
Smith
committed
to
carbon
neutrality
across
our
entire
portfolio,
which
means
that
any
of
our
new
development
coming
into
the
portfolio
falls
under
that
particular
commitment.
S
While
in
the
interim
we
are
making
purchases
for
renewable
energy
credits
and
carbon
offsets.
The
plan,
first
and
foremost,
involves
being
a
good
Steward
with
respect
to
energy
and
water
consumption
on
site.
So
we
proactively
actually
connect
all
of
our
buildings
to
to
Central
Energy
Management,
so
that
we
can
take
advantage
of
any
proactive
energy
management
and
reduce
that
overall
demand,
as
as
the
team
mentioned
on-site
solar,
that
was,
that
was
really
available.
When
you
do
have
this
size
of
the
building
and
the
size
of
the
roof,
it
really
doesn't
lend
itself.
S
We
continue
you
to
explore
off-site
solar
as
an
organization
to
replace
those
renewable
energy
credit
purchases
Etc.
As
you
probably
understand,
the
market
in
general
came
across
several
disruptors
with
respect
to
things
that
happened
in
Texas
that
impacted
large
off-site
solar
and
wind
developments,
Etc
and
so
forth.
J
Thank
you,
I'm,
mindful
that
three
or
four
years
ago
we
were
talking
about
12
percent
above
ashrae
as
being
great,
and
this
is
27
and
I'm
also
aware
that
renewable
credits
are
can
can
be
workable
as
a
solution,
so
appreciate
it,
and
just
grateful
for
the
steps
that
we
have
taken
and
eager
for
the
next
steps,
given
the
evidence
of
the
last
two
months
on
climate.
So
thanks
so
much
thank.
L
So
one
I
think
relatively
quick
question
and
then
a
couple
of
longer
ones,
I'll
jump
in
here,
look
like
in
that
penultimate
slide.
It
went
pretty
quickly,
but
with
regard
to
the
AF
contribution,
we
know
we're
talking
about
the
the
7.5
million
for
additional
density,
which
is
incredibly
exciting.
I
know
the
Planning
Commission
talked
to
some
length
about
on-site
versus
off-site,
knowing
the
opportunity
for
the
crystal
houses.
I
think
this
is
a
really
wonderful
thing
for
the
area.
L
I
think
I
saw
the
the
that
you
all
were
also
including
the
2.1
million
in
cash
for
the
base
contribution.
Are
you
prepared
to
say
now
because
I
know
you
don't
have
to
make
that
decision
yet,
but
that's
where
we're
headed
so
we're
talking
about
9.6
million
total.
That's.
N
L
That's
really
helpful.
Let
me
go
next
to
parking
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that,
and
let
me
frame
this
by
saying.
Actually,
this
is
I
think
this
is
a
opportunity
for
us
to
think
about
our
off-site
provision
of
our
residential
parking
minimums
policy,
because
I
think
there's
some
some
policy
learning
here
so
I'll
frame
this
up
by
saying
I
am
really
excited
to
see
this.
L
This
sort
of
sharing
through
the
through
the
agreement
and
I've,
had
a
little
conversation
with
our
staff
about
this
I
would
in
fact
love
to
see
more
of
this
happening
and
a
particularly
in
Crystal,
City
I
really
appreciated
the
the
conversation
the
Transportation
Commission
had
that
Mr
slot
represented
about
will.
Could
this
be
parked
at
a
lower
ratio?
I
am
not
going
to
push
for
that.
I.
Think
generally,
where
the
applicant
is
is
reasonable.
L
Enough
I
am
really
glad
to
see
I
think
the
on-site
ratio
is
something
like
0.28,
and
so
what
I'm
seeing
here
is
a
project
where
the
most
expensive
and
most
permanent
kind
of
of
parking
being
built
is
relatively
minimum,
minimal
and
I.
Think
that
is
exactly
what
this
sort
of
arrangement
with
another
site
allows
for.
We
have
not
seen
a
lot
of
it.
I
I
sort
of
my
hypothesis
here
is
is
because
it
could
be
burdensome
for
the
receiving
site.
You
know
in
this
case
it's
the
the
same.
L
Ownership
helps,
but
I
would
love
to
know
any
insights
that
that
you
all
have
for
us
from
the
applicant's
perspective
and
then
anything
staff
might
want
to
add
about
opportunities
for
us
to
think
about.
I
know,
for
example,
that
we
are
acting
today
on
a
site
plan
Amendment
for
the
receiving
site,
the
Bartlett,
and
in
order
to
reduce
parking
further
or
change
the
configuration
parking
there,
we
would
need
another
site
plan
Amendment
for
the
Bartlett,
which
is
to
say
to
come
back
to
the
board.
L
Do
you
see
that
as
an
obstacle
for
for
doing
these
types
of
Arrangements
in
the
future?
What
else
should
we
know,
as
we
think
about
that
policy
now
I
think
about
to
hit
its
fifth
birthday
within
the
next
year
or
so
to
to
allow
for
more
of
these
types
of
arrangements.
N
Sure
I
could
speak
to
that
briefly.
So
I
think
it
is
accurate
that
there
are
some
barriers
with
respect
to
the
way
site.
Plans
are
administered
that
typically,
the
approval
is
essentially
the
the
minimum
parking
ratio
permitted
and
that,
if
there's
going
to
be
a
further
reduction,
that's
typically
got
to
go
back
to
the
county
board
for
approval.
Other
barriers
include,
obviously
ownership
right,
I
mean
this
is
a
situation
where
you've
got
common
ownership.
N
That's
that's
not
usually
the
case
right
throughout
Arlington,
so
it
makes
it
more
difficult
to
do
that
kind
of
sharing.
I
do
think.
It's
interesting
that
you
know
the
Bartlett
was
approved
about
10
years
ago,
and
at
that
point
it
was
a
one-to-one
parking
ratio.
N
What
was
required
was
one
space
per
unit,
which
I
think
we
know
is
excessive
in
our
in
our
Metro
corridors,
and
so,
while
that
was
probably
over
built,
considering
what
the
demand
is
today,
it
does
give
us
this
opportunity
to
flex
down
and
have
some
sharing,
as
as
we
rely
on
other
modes
of
transportation
in
the
Metro
corridors,.
L
Anything
Mr,
Lam
or
anyone
else
joining
us
from
staff
wanted
to
add.
I
know
having
had
a
little
conversation
with
you
all
when
we
adopted
that
policy
in
2017
2018.
There
was
a
lot
of
conversation
or
a
lot
of
worry
in
particular
about
the
Orange
Line
Corridor,
but
this
real
sense
that
there
was
a
lot
of
excess
parking
capacity
in
Crystal
City.
So
you
know
from
from
your
perspective,
is
there
are
there
potential
amendments
to
that
policy
or
its
application?
M
Well,
like
you
said,
off-site
shared
parking
is
something
supported
not
only
by
the
residential
parking
guidelines,
but
also
the
sector
plan
itself,
and
I
will
mention
that
one
thing
staff
do
look
at
when
reviewing
you
know.
These
types
of
requests
is
ensuring
the
off-site
spaces
are
accessible
and
available.
So
we
do
require
some
kind
of
easement
to
be
recorded
that
identifies
both
the
grantor
and
the
grantee
as
well
as
you
know
how
how
these
spaces
will
be
accessed.
So
that
is
part
of
you
know
stash
review,
and
we
do
that.
L
L
I'll
have
to
look
into
it:
okay,
yeah
I,
bring
all
of
this
up
just
to
say,
I
think
this
is
an
area
for
us
to
consider
more
of
I
know:
planning
has
a
lot
on
their
plate,
but
as
projects
are
being
built
right
in
in
many
cases,
parking
is
expensive
and
it's
permanent
hit
on
site
and
so
I
think
we.
L
We
should
really
be
pushing
ourselves
to
have
a
policy
or
set
of
policies,
as
Mr
Lam
pointed
out
both
with
the
residential
parking
minimums
and
the
sector
plan
that
not
only
allow
for
but
encourage
this.
So
whether
that's
potential
administrative
review,
so
the
receiving
site
doesn't
have
to
come
back
for
site
plan
amendments
or
others
I
think
there's
a
real
opportunity
to
push
further
here.
K
Okay,
thank
you.
So
a
line
of
questions
crystal
is
extremely
important
and
I.
I
cannot
only
I
can
not
stress
enough
how
much
I
align
with
this
thinking
I
mean
ancillary
parking.
The
ability
to
use
optimal
in
a
normal
way
of
working
resources
is
very
important.
I'm
very
happy
to
see
that
in
this
particular
case,
we
we
have
a
situation
where
we
can
manage
for
that.
This
is
only
improving
the
project.
K
I
wanted
to
go
to
Just
Dial
back
for
a
moment
on
two
things:
the
one
that
Miss
Garvey
has
touched
on
on
the
bird
friendly
glass.
This
building
the
the
reason
why
it
is
reasonable
to
to
look
at
exceeding
a
little
bit
or
minimum
requirement
of
36
feet
height
of
bird
friendly
glass
is
this
building
has
significant
Administration.
It's
also
a
very
efficient
illustration
so,
and
it's
high
building.
K
So
there
is
a
a
reasonable
thinking
of
you
know:
birds
hitting
this
building
above
36
feet
and
I
believe
that
the
Planning
Commission
the
discussion
was
that
the
standard.
K
Is
about
a
hundred
feet
height,
the
question
for
staff
and
for
the
applicant
is:
is
this?
Is
this
a
decision
that
is
actually
negotiated
so
are
we
trying
have
we
tried
to
get
a
a
a
higher
delivery
on
bird
friendly,
glass
above
36
feet,
and
you
know
for
economic
reasons,
for
whatever
other
reasons,
it
was
determined
that
this
is
not
economically
feasible.
K
Whether
there
was
there
was
a
pathway
to
you
know
higher
to
to
perfect
glass
above
36
feet,
and
it
was
deemed.
You
know
impossible
to
deliver
because,
for
example,
because
of
the
cost
of
this
class.
O
I
realized
that
this
is
obviously
an
ongoing
policy
discussion,
and
you
know
in
terms
of
the
project
we
put
forth.
We
wanted
to
be
responsive
to
the
existing
policy.
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
we
can
look
into
as
part
of
this
discussion
is,
namely
the
the
area
between
I,
guess,
zero
feet
and
eight
feet,
which
is
not
included
as
part
of
the
policy
and
I
think
just
in
terms
of
where
the
shrubs
and
other
small
trees
are
on
this
site.
O
You
know
that
does
have
the
potential
for
additional
collisions,
and
so,
as
we
finalize
the
storefront
design,
we
do
want
to
evaluate
the
practicality
of
starting
that
fretting
for
the
bird
glass
at
eight
feet,
because
there
could
be
scenarios
where
that
doesn't
make
a
lot
of
sense
if
you've
got
a
15
foot
tall
glass
pane
with
with
only
half
of
it
being
covered
and
by
the
by
the
frit.
O
So
that
is
something
that
we're
continuing
to
evaluate
as
part
of
kind
of
our
go
forward
strategy
to
make
sure
that
those
high-end
areas
that
we
we
know
exist,
particularly
at
the
ground
level,
that
we're
kind
of
thoughtful
about
that.
Thank.
K
You
thank
you.
The
other
question
that
they
had
is
on
the
full
electrification
of
the
building.
One
thing
that
is
always
discussed
with
these
similar
buildings
is
one:
is
it
an
avoidable
to
have
still
still
fossil
fuel,
supported
boilers
and
warm
water
generation
in
the
building?
I
can
understand
why,
for
example,
a
commercial
kitchen
is
still
known
gas,
but
why
is
it
so
difficult
to
use
electric
heaters
and
boilers
for
the
warm,
the
the
water
that's
used
in
building.
O
O
T
No
electrification
is
possible
with
electric
resistance
heat,
but
that
is
something
that
is
not
a
good
technology
to
use.
Now
it
it's
going
to
go
away
so
futon
technology
is
where
projects
are
going
to.
However,
in
cold
climates,
the
heat
pump
technology
is
not
far
enough.
Developed
yet
to
operate
in
cold
conditions
requires
additional
sources
of
heat.
So
we
studied
this.
T
We
did
a
complete
carbon
zero
analysis
on
the
project
and
actually
determined
that
with
the
mix
of
the
Grid
in
Virginia
that
actually
using
on-site,
fossil
fuel
uses
less
carbon
overall
in
the
project
until
approximately
the
year
2040..
So
that
gives
time
for
technology
to
develop
and
it's
only
being
used
in
central
heaters
at
that
time.
So
I
hope
that
answers
your
question.
A
J
Think
this
question
is
for
staff
regarding
housing
and
the
planning
commission's
discussion
and
I'm
not
sure
it
might
be
something
you
we
need
to
get
back
to,
but
the
planning
con
commission's
discussion
and
Mr
Brown's
boat
regarding
affordable
on-site
units.
J
My
understanding
is
that
we
long
time
understanding
is
that
we
cannot
require
on-site
units
and
that's
not
how
our
4.1
is
structured.
There
are
a
couple
of
comments.
I
guess
it's
two
questions.
One
is:
do
we
have
thoughts
about
how
we
might
encourage
on-site
units
more
or
what
went
into
the
analysis
and
conversation
that
led
these
this
to
be
a
contribution
instead
of
on-site?
J
U
Certainly,
good
morning
board
members
board
member
deferenti
with
respect
to
that
question.
I
think
it
might
be
helpful
just
to
clarify
and
I
think
this
came
up
in
one
of
the
responses
that
Mr
Whitmore
had
earlier
to
miss
Crystal's
question
when
it
comes
to
the
base
provisions
of
the
zoning
ordinance
for
the
affordable
housing
commitment.
That's
that's
an
option
that
the
developer
has
and
they
have
the
choice
to
make
that
or
they
have
the
opportunity
to
make
that
decision
at
a
at
a
date.
U
Certain
doesn't
need
to
be
today
it's
in
the
future.
It's
stipulated
in
the
conditions,
so
they
have
an
option
and
that's
how
our
current
regulatory
framework
is
is
set
up
when
it
comes
to
any
additional
density.
Above
these
standards
that
are
set
forth
in
our
zoning
districts,
that's
where
we
do
have
the
opportunity
for
the
negotiation.
U
We
work
closely
with
our
housing
staff
to
understand.
You
know
on
a
site-by-site
basis,
are
there
preferences
or
opportunities
and
considerations
to
either
pursue
more
strongly
and
encourage
more
strongly
and
on-site
realization
of
those
committed,
affordable
units
or
cash
contributions?
So
just
hopefully
it's
helpful
just
to
make
that
distinction
and
clarify
sort
of
the
the
two
different
Realms
in
which
we
do
have
more
persuasion
than
than
not.
J
Thank
you,
Mr
fisterelli,
very
kindly
you've
explained
that
to
me
before
so
my
apologies
for
not
having
it
immediately
I
guess.
The
question
then,
would
be
in
the
bonus
in
the
decisions
with
respect
to
bonus
on
this
site.
Can
you
describe
a
little
bit
of
the
factors
that
are
leading
where
we're
headed
with
respect
to
the
contribution
in
lieu
of
on-site
and
I'm?
You
know
there
are,
in
my
view
there
are
Arguments
for
cash
in
lieu
of
on-site
I.
J
U
I'll
add
a
just
a
couple
brief
perspectives
and
Mr
lamb
may
have
more
to
add,
but
I
think
in
this
particular
instance
recognizing
the
commitments
and
the
opportunities
at
the
crystal
houses
block
just
in
several
blocks
down
the
street
on
South
East
Street
and
leveraging
the
opportunity
we
have
there.
U
We
saw
I
think
in
opportunity
to
leverage
the
contributions
that
we
could
realize
through
the
additional
density
or
through
the
additional,
affordable
housing
commitments
on
this
site
to
a
nearby
site
where
we
are
working
in
Partnership
to
realize
hundreds
of
units
of
additional
committed,
affordable.
So
in
this
case,
I
think
that
was
an
overarching
perspective
that
sort
of
directed
staff's
thinking
on
this,
and
it
may
not
be
the
same
for
other
projects.
M
Just
to
I
guess
you
know,
add
more
context
and
numbers
to
this
discussion.
You
know
one
thing
housing
staff
looked
at
was
the
degree
of
Leverage
that
can
be
had
at
the
crystal
houses.
So
you
know
93
commutative
floor
review
units
at
99
years
versus
what
they
looked
at
on-site
could
have
been
somewhere
between
25
to
30
calves
at
the
Americana.
For
you
know,
30
years.
J
Thank
you.
That's
those
numbers
are
very
helpful
and
I'm
reminded
in
Europe
comments
as
well:
Mr
ficarelli
that
Mr
Hughes.
You
were
described
as
pointing
out
that
your
general
perspective,
but
that
this
is
virtually
across
the
street,
appreciate
the
chance
to
just
work
through
it
again.
Mr
chair,
thank
you.
Miss
Crystal.
A
L
Just
one
associate
myself
with
that
I
think
sometimes
when
we
bemoan
the
the
paying
out
rather
than
doing
on-site,
it
is
rarely
when
there
is
a
project
as
exciting
as
the
one
directly
across
the
street.
In
this
case,
I
also
just
wanted
to
to
make
a
quick
comment
before
we
as
we
Cruise
towards
wrapping
up
this
item.
Mr
Hughes
I
think
this
is
probably
the
last
time
we
will
see
you
in
this
capacity
is
that
right,
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
your
long
service.
L
I
know
at
least
two
terms
on
our
Planning
Commission,
and
and
really
appreciate
your
insights,
particularly
on
that
issue
of
on-site
versus
off-site
or
contributions
to
affordable
housing,
which
I
know
has
been
an
area
of
passion
for
you.
So
thank
you
to
you
and
thank
you
to
your
family,
well
represented
today
for
sharing
your
contributions
with
the
county
for
all
of
this
time.
Thank
you.
L
The
the
last
thing
I
just
wanted
to
touch
on
before
we
moved
as
we
moved
towards
the
vote
is
the
one
of
the
other
major
contributions,
this
project,
which
is
to
Metro
Market
Square
or
the
rather
the
the
public
space
realization
the
opportunity
to
realize
public
space
plans,
which
I
know
is
so
important
to
members
of
our
Crystal
City
Community
in
particular,
than
the
need
for
investment
in
public
spaces
has
been
such
a
recurring
issue
there.
L
As
we've
talked
in
multiple
Capital
Improvement
plans,
and
so
I
know,
staff
had
talked
a
little
bit
to
the
Parks
and
Recreation
planning
staff.
I
would
love
to
just
get
it
as
a
matter
of
record
on
discussion
today
about
how
this
contribution
will
enable
Metro,
Market
Square,
which,
at
the
time
of
CIP
adoption
I,
think
still
envisioned
or
was
contingent
on
some
amount
of
developer
contribution.
M
Yeah,
so
the
aforementioned
Metro
Market
Square
is
you
know
a
priority
public
space
in
Crystal
City
and
the
identified
contribution
from
the
site
plan
for
for
that
project
will
likely
fully
fund
the
the
project
itself
and
any
kind
of
residual
funds
beyond
that
will
help
fund
other
projects
in
Crystal
City,
but
in
terms
of
Metro
Market
Square.
M
We
are,
you
know,
targeting
a
timeline.
However,
this
does,
as
you
mentioned,
is
kind
of
based
on
developer
contributions,
so
it
kind
of
depends
on
kind
of
the
timeline
for
for
this
project
in
terms
of
Permitting
and
eventual
construction.
But
we
are
kind
of
targeting
initial
planning
and
Community
engagement
this
year
to
next
year
and
then
with
the
anticipated
construction
somewhere
between
2025
and
2026..
L
Great
I
think
that's
really
exciting
and
then,
if
all
goes
smoothly,
when
would
you
be
looking
to
deliver
this
project.
L
Okay,
fantastic,
so
really
glad
to
see
it
on
both
counts
and
I'll,
just
before
I
yield
entirely
give
what
would
probably
amount
to
closing
comments,
which
is
to
just
share
my
enthusiasm
for
the
project.
I
think
the
community
benefits
associated
with
it
are
genuinely
exciting.
They
are
commensurate
with
a
project
of
a
really
significant
magnitude.
Here.
L
L
So
this
is
clearly
if,
if
the
omission
of
public
comments
indicates
an
area
where
community
members
are
perhaps
more
comfortable
but
just
delighted
to
see
it-
and
you
know
particularly
envisioning,
this
is
sort
of
a
a
found
site
right
and
how
it
will
end
up,
I
believe
fronting
the
new
route,
one
to
grade,
which
is
very
representative
of
the
transformation
of
Crystal
City
in
general,
into
an
area
a
a
home
in
a
neighborhood
for
so
many
folks
that
is
truly
walkable.
L
That
is
full
of
great
public
spaces
and
has
affordable
options
for
neighbors
across
the
income.
Spectrum.
So
just
delighted
to
be
able
to
support
the
project,
and
my
thank
you
to
not
only
the
applicant
but
but
our
team,
who
I
knew
had
to
do
quite
a
bit
of
analysis
to
understand
how
this
might
fit
into
our
plans,
the
Planning
Commission
for
their
thoughtful
work,
Transportation,
Commission
and
others.
Thanks.
A
Thank
you
I'll
just
say.
In
conclusion,
let
me
commend
the
stat,
be
the
applicant
really
particularly
for
the
leaning
into
the
zero
carbon
feasibility
and
really
doing
what
I
think
is
an
underappreciated
analysis
that
you
know
electricity
or
not,
is
really
not
the
the
question.
A
It's
at
what
point
you
actually
achieve
the
ability
to
receive
that
electricity
in
a
clean
way,
which
would
create
a
climate
advantage
over
existing
fossil
fuel
use
and
at
some
point
this
stuff
will
all
we're
moving
is
as
a
world
towards
the
place
where
the
choice
to
to
to
go
carbon
free
will
will
marry
with
the
technological
realities
of
of
Designing
efficient
systems
for
buildings
and
and
I
am
convinced
from
your
responses
to
Mr
Karen
Thomas's
question
that
you
have
done
that
due
diligence
and
so
I
really
really
appreciate
that
and
I'd
also
just
like
to
really
thank
Mr
D
ferranti
for
surfacing
the
conversation
on
housing,
which
I
believe
exposes
the
great
work
that
our
staff
does
in
making
these
very
thoughtful
decisions.
A
Again,
it's
not
a
matter
of
on-site
or
not
it's
a
matter
of
whether
or
not
those
on-site
units
are
going
to
create
an
opportunity
for
people
of
diverse
incomes
to
be
a
part
of
neighborhoods
of
opportunity,
and
that's
why
we
desire
on-site
units
in
certain
circumstances,
but
when
you
have
an
opportunity
to
leverage
many
more
unit
years
within
the
same
neighborhood
of
opportunity,
hello,
we
got
to
take
that.
You
know
to
stand
on
a
principle
of
you
know
on
site.
A
In
the
case,
where
two
blocks
away,
you
can
help
many
more
households
for
many
more
years
to
me,
doesn't
pencil
out
so
I
appreciate
staff
for
forwarding
that
work,
while
not
to
excuse
or
not
not
to
dismiss
those
who
want
to
make
sure
we
don't
consider
whether
units
are
provided
on-site
or
off-site
lightly
they're.
Absolutely
right.
We
don't
want
to
be
in
the
position
where
we
just
think.
Well,
we
can
leverage
more
units,
but
we
are
denying
people
to
be
a
part
of
areas
of
opportunity.
A
K
Oh
settings
chair
actually
have
a
additional
question,
but
it's
really
not
very
not
a
very
important
one.
It's
about
the
configuration
of
the
sidewalker
along
Southeast
I
think
we
can
discuss
that
later.
I
I
feel
the
curb
cuts
that
there
are
that
we
have.
There
are
pretty
significant
and
this
project
is
delivering
such
a
walkability
Improvement
there-
and
that's
you
know
at
you
know
crawling
distance
from
met
Park.
K
K
Cars
will
be
still
able
to
cross
into
the
garage
entrances,
but
we
want
to
you
know,
configure
the
pavement
and
the
elevation
of
this
Pavement
in
a
way
that
works
better
for
pedestrians
to
stay
for
for
everybody,
and
with
that
I
can
say
a
couple
of
things,
but
you
know
actually
confess
my
enthusiasm
for
this
for
this
project
as
well
and
and
aligned
with
all
the
comments
that
have
been
made
so
far
by
Miss
Christian
by
you.
I
do
think
that
the
applicant
has
a
really
worked
very
hard
in
a
command.
K
Also,
our
staff
for
following
that
and
and
the
community
is
called
this
is
a
very
good
project
that
replaces
a
place
that
is
kind
of
a.
K
This
kind
of
modern
modernism,
with
disregard
of
so
many
attributes
of
urban
living,
that
we
value
today
and
your
ability
attribute
value
today,
it's
actually
it's
a
it's
a
welcome
addition
to
The
Ensemble
of
Crystal,
City
and
I.
K
Think
this
also
adds
a
lot
of
resiliency
Crystal
City
National
Landing
is
probably
now
one
of
the
Central
Business
the
best
potential
to
commercial
ratio
which
makes
it
you
know
in
these
troubled
times
for
office
occupancy
makes
it
even
more
resilient
and
it
will
sustain
a
a
higher
level,
a
better
level
of
urban
living
right.
There
I
think
the
contribution,
affordable
housing
is
absolutely
unique
and
I
I
fully
understand
how
much
bang
for
the
buck
we're
getting
by.
K
The
very
fact
that
we
have
the
the
opportunity
to
locate
the
affordable
units
just
across
the
street
building
is
green,
far
greener
than
many
other
side
plans
that
passed
in
front
of
this
web
that
we
passed
either
in
the
recent
past,

We
have
to
have
buildings
that
are
ready
to
use
this.
These
electrons-
and
you
know
the
the
more
we
insist
in
electrifying
buildings
and
the
the
better.
The
position
will
be
where
we
will
be
when
the

will
be
Greener
and
less

dependent.

Supporting

A
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Public
hearings
on
these
items
have
closed.
So
this
discussion
is
entirely
with
the
board.
You
know
to
begin.
We
do
have.
We
do
have
our
staff
available
budget
director,
Stevenson
DMF,
director,
Meredith
I,
don't
see
Miss
Hughes
today.
Are
we
oh
she's
virtual
welcome
our
budget
coordinator,
Ms
Hughes.
Welcome
to
all.
Are
there
any
questions
before
we
begin
our
process
of
considering
items
34A
through
r.
A
Oh,
that's:
okay,
all
right
we're
going
to
get
right
into
it.
Then
colleagues,
so
I
would
like
to
go
ahead
and
move.
The
first
set
of
these
are
sort
of
the
big
ticket
items
34A,
which
is
the
fiscal
year,
24
County
budget
resolution,
Appropriations
resolution
and
Appropriations,
and
so
I'd
like
to
move
the
manager's
recommendation,
which
is
to
in
four
parts,
adopt
the
FY
24
budget
resolution,
which
is
attachment.
One.
A
Utilizing
using
the
resolution
also
attachment
one
in
that
report
and
then
34C
to
move
the
manager's
recommendation
to
adopt
a
calendar
year.
2023
General
personal
property
tax
rate
of
five
dollars
per
100
of
assessed
value
using
the
resolution
attached
is
attachment
one
and
a
personal
property
tax
rate
equivalent
equal
to
the
real
estate
tax
rate
for
public
service
corporations,
using
the
resolution
attached
they're
in
and
then
in
addition
to
adopt
a
calendar
year.
2023
resolution,
which
is
an
attachment.
A
Two
of
that
staff
report,
fixing
the
methodology
that
shall
be
utilized
and
distributing
the
state's
block
grant
for
personal
property.
I,
don't
think
I
need
to
describe
all
of
the
numbers.
So
all
right,
thank
you
for
that.
Second,
that
meets
meets
with
approval
from
our
attorney.
Thank
you.
So
I'll
speak
briefly
to
it.
These
are
the
items
which
fix
the
amount
that
the
county
is
going
to.
A
It
fixes
our
budget
and
the
amounts
that
we're
going
to
appropriate
and
where
those
will
be
specifically
appropriated
to
that's.
34A
34b
establishes
the
tax
rates,
which
will
go
unchanged
from
the
the
previous
fiscal
year,
as
well
as
the
personal
property
tax
rate,
which
is
at
the
same
rate,
but
does
not
have
any
adjustments.
It
looks
very
much
like
personal
property
tax
rates
from
fiscal
22
and
before
so.
That's
generally,
what
we
have
any
further
discussion
or
comments.
A
A
L
Thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
afford
some
guidance
as
part
of
the
chair's
motion.
The
first
regards
a
transition
that
I
have
talked
about
extensively
from
this
Dice
and
therefore
won't
belabor
too
much
the
substance
of
which
is
a
transition
to
a
notice
of
funding
available
process
for
awarding
human
and
community
services,
and
this
is
a
a
an
effort
to
respond
to
with
a
good
deal.
L
In
fact,
almost
three
years
at
this
point
of
community
input
to
Envision
a
new
way
of
allocating
funding,
particularly
when
rooted
in
racial
equity,
for
how
we
make
decisions
about
what
short-handedly
might
be
called
non-profit
funding.
L
Certainly,
to
try
to
do
that
in
a
way
that
aligns
not
only
with
our
racial
Equity
resolution,
but
also
whole
lines
with
our
goals
of
transparency
and
decision
making,
which
are
very
ad
hoc,
non-system
I,
think
has
really
failed
to
live
up
to
the
implementation
of
this
is
going
to
be
somewhat
I,
think
the
technical
term
might
be
wonky
because
or
challenging,
because
this
notice
of
funding
available
processes
beginning
now
the
team
is
hard
at
work,
developing
the
the
nofa
application,
consistent
with
the
goals
and
values
envisioned
by
our
community
leaders,
as
well
as
within
the
next
couple
of
months
to
begin
recruiting
from
community
members
with
lived
experience
to
to
serve
as
a
panel
along
with
subject
matter
experts
and
make
recommendations
to
the
board.
L
The
process
happening
now
means
that
recommendations
will
be
made
as
part
of
next
year's
budget
deliberations
and
that
those
dollars
will
be
handed
out
to
the
winning
applicants
on
July
1st
of
2024..
So
here
we
are
deliberating
the
2020
fiscal
year,
2024
budget.
What
we're
really
talking
about
is
an
amount
of
funding
that
we'll
need
to
go
out
at
the
start
of
fiscal
2025..
L
However,
we
cannot
fully
punt
that
question
until
2025,
because,
as
we
convene
that
panel
of
community
members
and
subject
matter
experts,
we
need
to
give
them
a
sense
of
the
bucket
that
they
have
to
award.
It
also
would
have
been
ideal
to
be
able
to
give
applicants
a
pretty
firm
answer
on
how
much
funding
is
available
when
we
release
that
notice
of
funding
available,
but
in
consultation
with
our
partners
at
the
United
Way
of
the
national
capital
area,
who
have
advised
us
on
how
other
communities
have
done
this.
L
It
is
not
without
precedent
to
offer
a
range
of
funding
available
at
the
time
of
releasing
the
notice,
which
will
be
at
the
very
beginning
of
the
fall,
which
is
to
say
q1
of
fiscal
2024..
L
However,
we
really
do
again
want
to
be
able
to
tell
that
panel
when
they
sit
down
in
January
to
start
their
work
of
reviewing
those
those
proposals
how
much
money
they
have
to
work
with.
A
roundabout
way
of
saying.
I
would
like
us
to
give
direction
to
the
manager
to
bring
forward
in
November
of
this
year,
at
the
time
of
fiscal
2023.
L
Closeout
options
to
allocate
additional
one-time
money
to
that
nofa
process
so
to
crosswalk
that,
with
the
timeline
I
just
laid
out,
that
means
a
range
would
be
given
when
the
nofa
is
posted
and
applications
are
welcomed,
but
hopefully,
by
taking
action
in
November
with
the
options
a
manager
bring
for
brings
forward.
The
board
can
give
some
Assurance
to
the
the
panel
thinking
about
funding
how
much
funding
they
have
to
allocate
the
board,
which
will
not
include
me
at
this
at
that
time
in
2024,
may
also
wish
to
think
about
additional
monies.
L
You
know
if
the
panel
has
recommendations
about
how
additional
dollars
could
be
spent.
I
think
that
would
be
very
welcome,
but
we
really
do
want
to
give
them
a
sense
of
the
sandbox
in
which
they
are.
They
are
making
recommendations
so
again,
this
direction.
Would
you
be
to
bring
forward
options
in
November
of
this
year
for
allocating
one-time,
closeout
money?
This
does
assume
there
will
be
one-time
closeout
money
at
the
conclusion
of
fiscal
2023
when
that
wraps
up
at
the
end
of
June.
L
If,
if
passed
is
prologue,
I
think
we
can
assume
there
will
be
some
amount,
the
manager
may
be
able
to
bring
forward
for
our
consideration.
Let
me
pause
see
if
there
are
any
questions
or
clarification
needed.
I
know
the
the
kind
of
span
across
multiple
years
is
complicated.
Indeed,
here
so.
I
Yeah,
just
a
quick
question
as
I
understand
it
we're
asking
the
manager
to
come
forward
with
options,
but
it's
not
committing
the
board
in
any
way.
I
mean
it's
possible
that
there
isn't
a
closeout
or
there's
some
other
great,
much
greater
need
at
that
point
and
we're
sort
of
looking
way
out
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
mean
we're
sort
of
setting
a
signal,
but
it's
not
really
committing
the
board
and
I
always
like
to
reserve
the
ability
to
make
adjustments
depending
on
what
the
facts
are
at
the
time.
That's.
L
Right,
let
me
share
both
validate
what
you're
saying
and
then
also
just
share
some
of
the
consequences
of
why
I
think
it
will
be
important
for
the
board
to
act.
L
We
have
about
one
million
dollar
or
1.5
million
dollars
in
existing
grants
and
non-profits
that
have
happened
through
our
kind
of
ad
hoc
non-process
that
we're
recommending
now
be
competed,
and
so
that
establishes
the
floor
and
when
we
advertise
the
notice
of
funding
available,
that
will
be
the
floor.
L
I
think
for
all
of
the
reasons
you
all
have
engaged
with
and
discussed
and
heard
from,
and
certainly
the
significant
interest
across
nonprofits
in
the
community
that
we
saw
when
we
took
this
change
to
the
community
in
January,
I
think
we'd
be
we're
Miss,
indeed
to
to
Simply
invite
more
people
to
compete
for
the
same
pie.
So,
while
I
think
there
will
be
a
an
imperative
for
this
process
to
go
well
to
allocate
more
funding,
you
are
absolutely
correctness
Garvey.
L
There
is
no
fiscal
obligation
implied
in
this
in
this
direction.
At
this
time,.
J
Mr
defranti,
thank
you
for
that
question,
but,
and
also
for
your
answer
and
your
you've
done
a
lot
of
work
on
this
and
we've
had
a
number
of
discussions.
I
I
I
think
that
associated
with
this
you,
you
shared
a
little
bit
of
a
context,
a
short
memo
that
that
kind
of
described
this
and
I
haven't
I
was
just
rechecking
the
resolution
website
and
the
board's
webpage.
It's
fair
to
say
that
that
memo
seeks
to
help
us
further
interpret.
This
I
had
a
little
bit
of
a
question.
You
know.
J
I
I
simultaneously
agree
that
there's
some
ad
hoc
Legacy
related
non-profits-
that
I
would
not
say,
are
most
just
to
be
concrete.
Most
equitably,
focused
and
I
would
also
say
that
I'm
very
leaning
forward
towards
this
and
an
additive
process,
and
mindful
that
the
first
sentence
here
says
transition,
so
I
guess
any
thoughts
on
the
both
the
memo
and
the
spirit
of
trying
to
be
additive
towards
our
Equity
goal,
because
I
think
that
an
additive
and
funding
environment
in
large
part,
though
not
exclusively,
is
likely
to
sustain
this
work
most
effectively.
L
L
For
for
visual
Learners
sure,
and
then
in
terms
of
when
you
say
additive,
do
you
mean
additive
is
in
more
funding
as
I
was
just
speaking
to
Ms,
Garvey
or
more.
J
Funding
in
total
and
how
that
fits
with
the
sort
of
the
transition
to
the
competitive
process,
it
sounds
like
the
goal
is:
is
both
the
transition,
as
well
as
in
total,
to
make
our
work
more
robust
in
the
area
as
a
whole?
Is
that
sure
I.
L
Think
that's
fair
yeah,
so
we've
talked
a
lot
about
the
the
the
sort
of
transition
here
when
we
had
the
community
leaders
group
come
in
December
to
present
again
when
we
voted
on
the
resolution
in
February
and
the
emphasis
there.
The
point
about
transition
is
that
we
don't
really
have
a
process
in
terms
of
allocating
money
to
non-profits
who
come
to
the
board
seeking
discretionary
dollars.
I
know
we've
talked
about
this
largely.
As
you
know,
there
are
sort
of
a
couple
of
buckets
of
ongoing
grants
that
are
allocated
by
the
County
Board.
L
L
You
know
things
like
our
our
community's
food
pantry,
right
or
homeless,
Services
that
it's
really
important
that
those
be
treated
as
what
they
are,
which
are
contracts
with
the
Department
of
Human
Services
and
the
Department
of
Human
Services
is
working
very
hard
to
kind
of
formalize
and
professionalize
those
and
the
analogy
I've
raised
before
is
you
know
we
often
find
ourselves
as
the
board
hearing
from
understandably
those
non-profit
providers
delivering
core
human
services
needing
a
plus-up,
for
example,
to
their
budget,
but
I'm
really
of
the
perspective
that
from
a
good
government
and
transparency
perspective,
that
should
no
more
be
the
case
than
a
des
contractor
who
is
experiencing.
L
You
know:
labor
cost
overruns
on
laying
new
sewer
pipe
coming
to
the
board
right.
That
is
a
matter
of
a
contract
issue.
So
I
think
this
is
a
good
opportunity
to
emphasize
that
those
things
that
really
are
kind
of
core
human
services
are
outside
of
the
scope
of
what
we're
talking
about
here
with
the
transition,
what
we're
really
envisioning
or
what
I'm
really
envisioning
and
what
our
resolution
reflects
is
transitioning.
L
Those
asks
from
non-profits
who
are
doing
great
work
now
or
Envision,
doing
great
work
in
our
communities
and
and
want
the
county
to
help
support
something
that
may
not
be
a
core
function
of
government
but
is
making
a
difference,
and
so
the
kind
of
historic
way
of
doing
that
has
been
our
applying
our
best
judgment
and
people
frankly,
trading
on
relationships
with
board
members
to
get
that
kind
of
funding,
and
now
we're
going
to
try
to
transition
to
a
system
or
process
that
is
rooted
in
transparency
and
racial
Equity.
To
do
so.
L
J
That
is
helpful,
I
think
also
in
part,
my
my
question
was
sort
of
designed
to
to
share,
as
we
implement
this
over
the
coming
years,
a
desire
to
see
through
the
work,
but
the
details
of
that
Vision
to
see
through
may
be
maybe
aligned,
but
not
all
100
percent
in
detail.
But
that's
sort
of
one
thought
in
a
second
is
that
you
put
a
ton
of
work
into
this
and
I'm
mindful
how
much
you
care
about
it.
J
K
Thank
you
Mr
chair
and
thank
you
Mr
Crystal,
for
bringing
this
forward.
Let's
say
it's
a
logical.
You
know,
thinking
and
and
towards
implementation
of
the
resolution
that
we
already
have
adopted.
I
had
the
question
that
they
have
is
so
we
we
expect
to
dominate
to
pick
a
panel
of
as
described
in
the
resolution
so
this
panel.
How
will
this
panel
interact
with?
K
What's
what's
the
thinking
behind
this
plan,
interacting
with
the
county
managers
office
and
forming
this
first
approach
to
a
you,
know
the
the
order
of
magnitude
of
what
you
described
as
a
Sandbox,
so
the
the
money
that
we
would
that
that
they
would
consider
appropriate
to
get
this
process
started.
L
Great
question
so
to
reflect
back
what
I
think
I'm
you're
asking
is
how,
once
the
panel
is
convened
and
reviewing
proposals,
how
will
they
be
able
to
kind
of
iteratively
engage
with
the
county
manager
for
his
budget
or
the
board
with
theirs
about
how
much
funding
is
available?
Is
that
right,
yeah.
K
Exactly
so,
yes,
so
so
there
would
be
they
they
will
have
to.
Are
they
going
to
be?
You
know
part
of
this
process,
or
is
it
something
that
resides
explicitly
in
the
county
manager's
office?
Maybe
in
collaboration
with
the
County
Board
to
you
know,
make
an
initial
appropriation
at
some
point
or
is
it?
Is
this
panel
going
to
be
participating
in
deliberately,
but
participating
in
determining
much
money
would
be
appropriate
to
start
appropriate.
L
Yeah
great
question,
so
let
me
just
a
quick
word
on
sort
of
what
we
mean
by
panel
where
it
came
from.
So
this
was
one
of
the
recommendations
of
the
community
leaders
group.
You
know
which
worked
for
a
couple
of
years
on
envisioning.
What
an
equitable
process
would
look
like
really
talked
about.
The
importance
of
community
members
know
best
whether
non-profits
are
positioned
to
do
what
they
say,
they're
going
to
do
and
whether
they've
done
it,
and
so
what
is
happening
now
is
operationalizing
that
recommendation.
L
The
county,
manager's
office
represented
and
led
well
by
Elizabeth,
Barnett
or
Amber
Barnett,
who
is
our
deputy
chief
race
and
Equity
officer?
I'm
worried
I'm
going
to
get
titles
wrong.
So
forgive
me
if
so
we
know
them
as
Amber
and
Elizabeth
the
second
in
command,
systemia
and
Michelle,
but
but
essentially
our
Deputy
County
Manager
working
in
our
W
Academy
managers.
L
Colleagues,
working
on
on
racial
equity
and
procurement
are
two
leads
on
this
working
with
my
participation
and
and
future
touch
points
with
other
board
members
to
operationalize.
That
recommendation
about
who
should
be
on
the
panel
into
a
set
of
steps
to
recruit
them.
To
put
out
a
call
to
engage
with
the
community,
showing
up,
for
example,
at
places
of
worship
or
PTA
meetings,
to
try
to
articulate
what
is
needed
and
going
to
be
asked
of
these
community
members.
L
Once
individuals
are
recruited
using
we,
our
goal
is
to
do
multiple
languages
for
recruitment
Etc.
We
they
will
be
paired
with
subject
matter
experts,
which
is
to
say
either
County
staff
or
others
from
around
the
region
who
have
backgrounds
in
Equitable,
funding
or
sort
of
human
and
Community
Services.
They
will
all
together
undergo
racial
Equity
training
so
that
they
are
speaking
from
the
same
page
when
they
think
about
how
to
evaluate
these
proposals.
L
L
That's
who
they
are
the
the
idea
is
that
there
are
only
so
many
variables
that
we
can
give
to
a
group
of
people,
especially
who
are
volunteers
and
ask
them
to
hold
ideas
in
their
head
and
that's
why
I
come
back
to
the
importance
of
being
able
to
tell
them
roughly
that
the
size
of
the
sandbox
they
have
to
allocate
they'll
be
likely.
We
were
just
meeting
with
our
partners
at
the
United
Way
of
the
national
capital
area
to
Envision
this
two
weeks
ago.
L
They
will
likely
be
broken
out
into
subgroups
to
evaluate
different
proposals
depending
on
how
many
come
through
and
to
make
their
recommendations
about
how
to
allocate
whatever
the
total
amount
is
that
is
determined
by
this
board
in
November.
I.
Think
there
is
also
an
interesting
question
about.
How
can
that
panel
retain
the
ability
to
come
back
to
the
County
Board
and
say
you
know,
hypothetically,
you
allocated
2.5
million.
We
we
saw
some
fantastic
projects
if
the
County
Board
is
able
to
allocate
three
million.
L
You
know,
I
think
the
when
you're
going
when
they're
going
to
engage
in
a
level
of
review
that
is
as
thorough
as
the
one
envisioned
there
will
surely
be
some
ideas
about
the
kind
of
close
competitor
projects
that
they
regret
not
being
able
to
fund,
and
so
I
think
there
is
absolutely
an
opportunity
for
for
dialogue,
as
the
board
again
approaches
those
kind
of
final
funding
decisions
in
the
adoption
of
the
fiscal
25
budget
around
this
time
next
year.
A
For
who
are
interested
in
the
details
in
the
history
when
we
post
this
guidance,
you
can
see
that
the
resolution
itself
that
the
board
adopted
is
hyperlinked,
as
is
some
supplemental
documents
and
information
about
this
entire
process.
They'll
both
be
hyperlinked.
So
if
anyone
is
interested
in
getting
the
full
background,
they
can,
they
can
look
at
it.
There
I'll
say
from
my
part
in
looking
at
this
guidance
and
I
hate
to
be
a
reductionist.
A
That's
that's
a
cop-out
and
we're
making
sure
that
we
don't
give
ourselves
that
cop-out
that
we're
actually
being
thoughtful
about
resources
that
we
are
going
to
either
make
available
or
put
in
the
pot
to
become
available
later
on,
to
act
on
any
recommendations
that
come
from
this
technical
panel
and
I
will
say
just
fundamentally
as
this
matures.
It's
really
not
entirely
also
about
the
floor
that
is
set
or
the
upper
ceiling
that
may
be
envisioned.
A
I
hope
that
this
gets
to
a
place
where
the
technical
panel
is
able
to
make
really
rigorous
decisions
and
if,
whatever
conceptual
floor
we
have
is
not
met
by
the
proposals.
I
don't
want
the
board
to
fund
things
that
don't
have
value.
A
So
the
the
floor
is
is
what
we
know
that
we're
going
to
tell
the
community
is
going
to
be
available,
doesn't
commit
us
to
actually
funding
at
that
level
if
the
proposals
don't
Merit
it,
but
on
the
flip
side,
if
we
get
a
number
of
proposals
that
do
meet
with
not
only
a
technical
panel,
but
the
boards
desire
to
see
move
forward,
you
know
figure
out
a
way
to
fund
it,
because
that's
what
will
live
up
to
the
whole
idea
of
a
true
equity-based
model.
So
thank
you
for
this
guidance.
A
I
I
Is
that
correct
and
I
I
want
to
say
you
know
and
thank
you
for
your
work,
I
think
that
all
started
I
guess
it
was
maybe
three
weeks
ago
now
or
so
that
we
had
a
little
more
that
we
Andrew
here
we're
talking
with
the
UNM
group
and
then
you
participated
and
I
think
it
was
a
year-long
program
and
it's
kind
of
cool
I
mean
we
as
board
members
participate
in
programs
a
lot,
it's
kind
of
cool
to
see
how
much
this
one
is
really
making
a
difference,
I
think
and
really
trying
to
enact
it.
I
But
if
people
are,
you
know
kind
of
wondering
where
it
came
from,
they
might
want
to
check
out
Unum
and
we
really
are
trying
to
change
structurally
how
we
do
things
and
it
might
be
a
little
bumpy
for
a
while.
But
thank
you
for
your
work,
and
this
is
a
it's
a
good
step.
It's
a
big
step,
but
it's
taken.
You
know
years
to
get
here.
Thank.
L
You
invite
me
Mr
Charles,
one
of
my
colleagues
in
that
Fellowship
cohort
had
a
project
that
was
building
a
community
gazebo
which
has
been
built
in
an
operation
for
two
years.
Yes,.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
so
I
think
everyone's
good
with
that.
I
will
note
that
we
have
several
other
pieces
of
guidance.
We
are
under
no
obligation
to
have
the
same
level
of
discussion
about
each
of
those
just
saying.
L
All
right,
I
will
continue,
and,
yes,
I
think
these
are
in
descending
order
of
intensity
of
conversation.
This
one
is
I
think
relatively
straightforward.
There
was
perhaps
very
little
that
everyone
of
the
250
some
folks
who
testified
last
month
when
we
adopted
zoning,
ordinance
amendments
to
effectuate
or
allow
for
expanded
housing
options
agreed
upon,
but
I
do
think
there
was
widespread
agreement
that
there
is
Need
for
more
affordable
housing
in
Arlington
and
also
more
affordable
ownership
projects.
L
One
of
the
things
I
talked
about
a
lot
and
I
think
maybe
hopefully
some
colleagues
would
associate
themselves
with
it,
which
was
one
of
the
things
that
was
exciting
about
the
zoning
ordinance
amendments
around
the
missing
middle
was
that
they
created
the
the
sort
of
necessary
opportunity
to
to
allow
for
non-profit
developers,
in
particular
to
be
able
to
use
that
pathway
to
come
up
with
affordable
ownership
projects,
but,
as
the
analysis
done
by
external
economists
showed
us
these
projects,
especially
when
they're
new
or
not,
naturally
going
to
deliver
at
the
level
of
affordable
ownership.
L
I'll
pause
here
to
Define,
affordable
ownership.
Our
zoning
ordinance
describes
ownership.
Affordability
is
at
or
below
80
of
every
immediate
income.
So
there
is
some
gap
between
the
you
know:
100
110,
Ami,
affordability
of
the
least
expensive
projects
and
that
80
or
below.
So
this
is
direction
to
the
manager
to
ask
that
our
staff
who
are
working
on
the
home
ownership
study
now
really
take
into
that
charge.
L
Opportunities
to
provide
some
Gap
financing
likely
that
could
really
help
realize
a
couple
of
affordable,
eho
ownership
projects
and
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
different
models.
I've
had
some
conversations
with
different
non-profits
in
this
space
for
how
that
funding
could
work,
whether
it's
you
know,
Gap
financing
for
construction,
an
acquisition
loan
that
can
be
relatively
patient
at
lower
no
interest
as
a
you
know,
non-profit
Works,
to
build
out
a
project,
a
few
different
examples.
L
Thinking
about
the
kind
of
bricks
and
mortar
construction
of
affordable
homeownership
using
the
eho
pathway
and
asking
the
manager
to
please
come
back
at
the
end
of
this
year,
December
2023,
which
is
when
by
when
those
homeownership
study
results,
would
be
ready
for
us
to
make
recommendations
about
how
to
fund
this
type
of
eho
homeownership
pilot
program.
L
I've
noted
here
just
conceptually
that
this
may
be
on
the
order
of
a
you
know:
a
million
and
a
half
could
potentially
from
what
we
know
talking
to
nonprofits
support
a
few
different
projects
which
could
result
in
as
many
as
six
ownership
units,
but
of
course,
that
would
would
vary
based
on
whatever
the
staff
recommendations
would
be
and
to
Ms
garvey's
point
about
the
previous
item.
This
commits
us
to
nothing.
L
A
L
Fantastic
I'm
very
excited
to
see
what
kind
of
creative
projects
we
might
be
able
to
Spur
with
a
little
bit
of
financial
support
the
last
one.
Hopefully,
this
is
very
easy.
We
have
talked
and
made
it
into
the
Chairman's
Mark
the
idea
of
an
additional
FTE
as
DHS
backbone
support.
L
L
Think
one
of
the
things
we've
really
learned
from
when
those
when
our
approaches
to
those
programs
are
successful
is
that
it
certainly
requires
a
quarterback
someone
who
can
really
do
that
intensive
policy
work
to
to
convene
teams
in
trying
to
departmentally
to
bring
together
outside
stakeholders
develop
road
maps,
execute
those
road
maps.
So
the
creation
of
the
position
is
really
designed
to
do
that
over
time.
L
We
know
that
there
will
be
issues
that
emerge
that
are
not
yet
on
our
agenda
that
need
that
type
of
leadership,
but
also
wanted
to
reflect
with
this
guidance,
our
expectation,
it
has
been
a
personal
frustration,
mine
I,
know
shared
by
colleagues,
and
certainly,
we've
really
started
to
hear
some
advocacy
in
the
in
the
community
that
we
have
these.
This
Fantastic
action
plan
with
the
child
care
initiative
adopted
a
couple
of
years
ago
when
the
pandemic
happened,
it
sort
of
back
burnered
that
effort
and
there's
so
much
in
there.
L
That
is
worth
pursuing
around
the
idea
of
affordable
child
care,
in
particular,
which
remains
such
a
gap
in
our
community.
So
this
direction
is
designed
to
to
kind
of
codify
memorialize
the
board's
expectation
that
this
is
a
position
that
will
work
in
a
how,
rather
than
what
over
time,
but
that
they
would
start
with
implementation
of
the
child
care
initiative.
Action
plan.
J
Defranti,
thank
you
very
much
for
this
as
well,
particularly
I
needed
a
refresher
on
the
three
buckets
in
the
plan.
I
appreciate
you
doing
that
accessibility,
availability
and
quality,
but
I
really
appreciate
you
mentioning
the
word
affordable
because
it's
been
since
1994,
where
affordable
child
care
was
on
my
mind
as
a
key
lever
to
enable
people
to
reach
and
move
out
of
poverty.
So
thanks
very
much
for
this
word.
A
Thank
you.
The
last
piece
is
concerning
collective
bargaining
agreements,
as
you
all
will
recall
in
December
the
board
passed
resolutions
that
expressed
our
good
faith,
commitment
to
funding
the
tentative
agreements
with
bargaining
units
for
police
and
fire
as
well,
which
go
through
2020,
FY,
26
and
then
the
one-year
agreement
with
afscme
and
with
this
budget
passing
adoption.
A
We
have
fulfilled
that
good
faith
commitment,
but
as
part
of
that
process,
we
also
uncovered
that
the
agreement
was
not
necessarily
did
not
necessarily
capture
what
had
been
the
contemporaneous
conversations
that
existed
with
with
manager
and
staff
and
and
the
various
bargaining
units,
particularly
about
the
the
wage
structure
and
specifically
the
desire
to
move
to
an
open
from
an
open
range
to
a
step
and
grade
system
which
was
a
mutually
shared
priority.
A
And
so,
as
a
result
of
that,
we've
got
this
interesting
situation
where
we've
got
a
collective
bargain
agreement,
which
we
fully
intend
through
our
efforts
and
have
followed
through
with
supporting,
and
that
we
expect
will
continue
to
be
the
primary
way
in
which
issues
as
it
relates
to
employment
are
governed
in
the
county.
But
at
the
same
time,
this
opportunity
to
discuss
outside
of
collective
bargaining,
how
to
further
Implement
an
effective
grade
and
step
system
for
those
two
units.
So
so
through
mutual
discussions.
A
There's
been
some
progress
that
has
been
solidified
with
the
adoption
of
the
budget
that
creates
that
step
and
grade
system
for
both
police
and
fire
in
in
this
current
fiscal
year,
and
as
we
move
to
subsequent
fiscal
years
that
model
of
having
discussions
about
how
to
improve
that
step
and
grade
system.
A
We
are
using
this
guidance
to
encourage
the
manager
to
continue
to
have
those
conversations
and
to
bring
to
the
board
a
discussion
of
any
potential
recommendations
or
ideas
prior
to
formulation
of
budget
Direction,
which
will
occur
in
the
fall
of
this
year,
so
creates
the
expectation
that
there
will
be
conversations
that
will
exist
between
the
manager
and
the
bargaining
units
up
until
that
point
of
findings
presented
to
the
board
at
that
point.
But
the
primary
responsibility
that
we
all
have
is
to
adhere
to
the
collective
bargaining
agreement.
A
J
Changed
thank
you
to
you
and
the
manager
for
this
I.
Think
I've
been
don't
want
to
repeat
just
thank
you
every
time,
but
I
do
think
with
the
shift
in
the
board.
It
is
relevant
and
important
and
I'm
sure
that
Miss,
Garvey
and
Mr
Karen
Thomas
would
agree
that
a
particular.
This
is
particularly
thank
we're
particularly
thankful
as
implementing
this
will
fall
to
the
three
of
us
and
two
others,
so
I
think
our
Public
Safety
and
our
employees
should
know
that
this
is
important
to
the
three
of
us
and
I.
A
You,
okay,
see
no
other
questions.
I.
Think
we'll
now
formally
miss
a
chair,
Mr,
deep
Mr,
Karen,
Thomas
I
apologize
just.
K
No
problem
I
just
underscore
the
the
importance
that
this
has
for
me.
As
for
everybody,
all
all
my
colleagues
here,
we
have
had
a
very
intensive
experience
with
you
know
the
collective
bargaining
process
and
we
see
the
challenges
of
you-
know
an
effective
transition
to
step
in
grade.
So
I
think
that
this
this
board
is
really
ready
to
put
discussing
and
Country
managers,
openness
and
investment
of
time
and
focus
on
on
this
issue.
K
So
I
think
that
this
guidance
is
really
appropriate
and
important
to
become
be
part
of
this
document.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
all
right,
so
this
Miss
Garvey.
I
No
just
a
quick
thing,
I'll
just
say
thank
you
as
well.
I
think
it's
all
been
said,
I
plan
to
mostly
say
thank
you
by
voting.
Yes
on.
All
of
this
appreciate
it
thank.
A
You
all
right
so
we've
put
this
on
the
table
on
our
own
motion.
Now
I'd
like
to
formally
seek
a
second
on
adopting
this
guidance.
Is
there
one
seconded
by
Ms
Garvey,
seeing
no
further
discussion,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed
aye
the
eyes
have
it
5-0,
and
this
this
guidance
is
hereby
provided
to
the
manager
and
at
this
time
colleagues,
you
know
I
know
we
have
a
number
of
other
budget
items,
but
you
know,
as
most
people
have
been
watching,
have
been
concerned
about
these
areas.
A
I
I,
don't
want
to
have
them,
wait
until
the
end,
to
maybe
hear
any
summary
comments
that
we
may
have
I'll
get
us
started
until
I
see
other
lights
go
on,
but
I
will
say
that
first
acknowledgments
are
in
in
order
and
I
have
to
be
a
little
bit
nostalgic.
This
is
this.
Is
my
eighth
and
last
opportunity
to
be
a
part
of
the
budget
process
in
Arlington,
County
Board,
member
and
I
have
to
say
of
many
things
that
go
into
this
job.
A
Most
of
them
I
will
miss,
but
this
this
is
one
of
the
things
I
will
miss.
Most
this
is
this
is
something
that
speaks
to
the
essence
of
what
we
do
here
in
local
government
and
doing
it
in
Arlington.
County
is
both
it's
edifying.
A
We
always
have
an
opportunity
to
consider
how
to
make
government
work
better,
without
necessarily
adding
resources
in
order
to
do
so,
I.
Colleagues,
the
way
we
engage
with
the
entire
budget
process,
both
with
work
sessions
and
individual
conversations
and
thinking
up
ideas
and
engaging
through
questions
with
staff
I
am
very
proud
of
the
work
that
we
do
together
and
our
advisory
commissions
really
shine
during
the
budget
process
with
their
summary
feedback
based
on
their
areas
of
interest,
but
also
our
fiscal
Affairs
advisory
commission,
which
takes
a
a
broader
overview,
while
also
providing
specific,
departmental
comments.
A
It's
terrific
and
our
community.
We
have
so
many
people
engaged
whether
it
is
through
outlining
their
priorities
for
the
budget
or
speaking
at
public
hearings.
Sending
us
letters,
emails
coming
to
Open
Door
Monday,
it
is,
it
is
a
wonderful
part
of
the
Arlington
Community.
So
thanks
to
everyone
for
helping
us
get
to
this
point
where
we
can
adopt
the
spending
plan,
that
outlines
not
only
the
specifics
but
our
priorities
for
the
year
ahead
and
speaking
about
the
budget
itself.
It's
certainly
not
as
difficult
as
it
once
appeared
to
be,
especially
from
a
revenue
side.
A
Thankfully,
we've
had
some
upside
when
it
comes
to
revenue,
but
it's
also
important
to
note
that,
even
with
this
not
being
as
difficult
as
one's
feared,
we
do
have
uneven
Revenue
growth,
so
the
impact
of
our
spending
decisions
are
disproportionately
falling
on
our
residential
taxpayers
and
we
are
ever
mindful
of
that,
and
that
also
exists
within
a
period
where
we
also
have
acute
needs
in
our
community
and
they're,
also
structural
issues
that
we
need
to
address,
such
as
how
to
make
sure
that
we
are
right
sizing
our
funding
sources
to
ensure
that
ongoing
needs
are
not
being
funded
repeatedly
with
one-time
revenues.
A
We
have
incredible
challenges
as
it
relates
to
the
Recruitment
and
Retention
of
talent
across
the
the
Enterprise,
but
specifically
in
some
areas,
where
not
only
are
the
needs
of
our
community
quite
acute
and
pressing,
but
also
in
places
where
it's
just
really
hard
hard
to
fill.
And
then
we
also
have
priorities
that
the
community
has
developed,
that
we
need
to
continue
to
make
progress
on.
A
So,
even
though
the
budget
wasn't
as
hard
as
it
once
appeared
to
be,
the
challenge
in
Arlington
is
always
going
to
be
difficult,
because
we
have
so
much
that
we
desire
to
do-
and
you
know
also
it's
true-
that
Arlington
is
a
place
that
is
very
well
resourced.
From
a
relative
standpoint.
We
should
never
forget
that,
and
people
look
at
that,
Top
Line
and
say
you've
got
a
1.55
billion
dollar
budget.
A
Arlington
can
do
anything,
but
I
do
want
to
remind
people-
and
forgive
me
for
being
a
bit
professorial
with
this,
but
you
take
that
1.55
billion
dollars
and
right
away.
We
we
take
39
percent
of
it
and
those
go
to
the
Arlington
Public
Schools
to
educate
our
children,
which
is
terrific.
We
don't
begrudge
that
at
all,
but
it's
almost
40
percent
right
off
the
top
and
then,
when
we
think
about
the
you
know,
61
percent
left
for
County
operations.
A
More
than
half
of
that
about
53
percent
of
that
goes
to
compensation
for
our
personnel
and
remember
our
Personnel
are
providing
direct
service
to
the
community.
So
already
you
know
that
big
1.55
billion
is
now
down
to
about
440
million
remaining
and
of
that
over
150
million
goes
to
our
requirements,
our
obligations
that
are
non-negotiable
to
Metro,
to
funding
The
Debt
Service
from
previously
committed
Investments
to
benefits
for
employees
after
they
they
separate
from
the
county
and
then
also
to
other
Regional
commitments.
A
So,
in
the
the
end
of
the
day,
we're
really
taking
that
1.55
billion
and
is
really
about
280
million,
which
has
to
fund
all
of
the
operating
expenses
to
support
our
programs
and
then
anything
else,
long
story
short:
it's
not
a
ton
for
us
to
do
everything
we
have
to
be
strategic
and
judicious
and,
in
that
sense,
I'm
very
proud
that
this
budget
is
both
responsive
and
responsible,
while
also
making
some
strategic
Pro
making
some
progress
on
strategic
priorities.
A
It's
responsive
because
it
recognizes
where
we
are
post
pandemic.
There
are
still
households
who
are
in
need
and
we're
making
sure
we're
taking
care
of
those
needs.
The
best
we
can
through
eviction
prevention
and
maintaining
and
ability
to
deliver
the
necessary
help
to
those
who
necessarily
need
it.
There's
also
a
post-pandemic
acute
need
that
exists
among
people
when
it
comes
to
their
mental
and
Behavioral
Health,
and
we're
doing
a
lot
of
innovative
things
in
this
budget
to
address
it
as
it
relates
to
housing.
A
We
are
making
sure
that
our
ability
to
move
forward
with
the
crystal
houses
and
bar
Croft
projects
making
sure
that
that's
maintained,
recognizing
that
that
is,
you
know,
2400
or
so
units
of
committed,
affordable
housing
that
will
be
realized
through
those
projects,
while
also
creating
the
space
within
the
affordable
housing
investment
fund.
To
ensure
that
other
projects
that
we
don't
know
about
yet
can
be
funded
as
well.
A
It's
also
responsive
responsible,
excuse
me
because
we
are
making
the
necessary
investments
in
our
Workforce
talent
and
labor
is
the
key
to
our
delivering
good
government
in
Arlington
County.
You
know
as
much
as
I'd
like
to
think
it's
what
we
do.
It's
not,
and
even
our
great
manager
as
great
as
he
is
it's
not
going
to
work.
A
If
we
don't
have
tremendous
talent
that
is
deploying
all
of
the
initiatives
that
we
we
have
and
so
investing
in
them
and
making
sure
that
we
are
going
to
support
them
in
delivering
great
services
to
our
tax.
Paying
public
is
incredibly
important.
A
While
you
know
that
does
have
a
strain
on
our
talent
and
Workforce,
it
makes
people
need
to
work
harder
and
we
get
that.
We
do
understand
that,
but
in
the
absence
of
having
the
ability
to
do
everything,
this
is
a
responsible
way
to
deal
with
the
challenges
that
we
have
I.
Also
just
love
that
our
departments
have
leaned
into
using
technology
where
appropriate,
to
reduce
their
discretionary
overhead.
A
These
are
all
very
important
things
to
position
us
moving
forward
and,
lastly,
I'll
say-
and
thank
you
all
for
indulging
me
just
to
sort
of
note
about
future
budget
budget
years.
That
unfortunately,
I
will
not
be
a
part
of
you
know.
Arlington
is
going
to
really
really
have
to
think
thoughtfully
about
how
to
align
the
revenue
it
collects
with
the
priorities
that
it
has.
A
You
know
much
of
the
ability
to
ring
every
ounce
of
whatever
liquid
out
of
this
fruit
is
is
virtually
gone,
and
so,
if
the
public
wants
to
continue
to
move
forward
with
making
key
Investments
and
priorities,
making
sure
that
there
is
revenue
alignment,
then
this
is
a
fancy
way
of
saying.
Tax
rates
are
in
the
right
place
is
going
to
be
an
important
conversation.
I
certainly
hope
that
economic
growth
materializes
in
such
a
way
that
doesn't
require
that
conversation,
but
we
can't
Bank
on
that.
A
There
are
so
many
headwinds
when
it
comes
to
the
broader
economy
that
a
flex
affects
the
ability
of
the
commercial
sector
to
grow
rapidly
that
we
really
have
to
lean
into
this
whole
idea
of
whether
or
not
the
tax
rates
are
going
to
be
sufficient,
but
that
is
a
conversation
for
the
next
next
budget
process.
As
for
this,
one
I
am
pleased
to
support
the
work
that
we
have
done
and
to
thank
you
all
for
your
role
in
it
all
right.
We'll
move
next
to
Ms
Garvey.
I
Thank
you,
so
I've
done
a
few
more
budgets
than
you
Mr
chair.
If
you
count
School
Board
a
whole
lot
more
I
would
say
this
has
been
the
smoothest
and
best
budget
process
I've
gone
through
in
over
a
quarter
Century
in
many
ways.
Thinking
about
that
one
I
think
is
I
I
want
to
First
Echo
your
thanks
to
the
staff.
I
mean
this
is
an
incredible
County.
I
mean
it's
a
real
privilege
to
work
with
the
people
that
we
work
with
that
support
us,
but
also
Mr,
chair,
I.
Think
to
your
leadership.
I
I
I
think
we
are
facing
a
lot
of
difficult
times
coming
forward.
This
board,
I
think,
has
turned
and
the
whole
organization
to
kind
of
a
well-oiled
machine.
I
found
myself
thinking.
Maybe
it
was
that
refining
fire
of
the
2020
budget
that
was
10
pages
when
we,
when
we
adopted
it,
that
kind
of
got
us
all
into
really
working
together,
pretty
smoothly
and
and
focusing
on.
What's
what's
important
and
not
spending
too
much
time
on
things
that
we
don't
really
need
to
spend
a
whole
lot
of
time
on.
I
So
thank
you,
I
think
we
are
going
into
future
difficult
times.
I
will
recommend.
I
have
not
yet
read
the
book,
but
I've
now
heard
a
couple
of
interviews
and
read
things
about
Matthew,
Desmond's,
newest
book,
on
poverty
by
America
and
I.
Think
these
are
the
challenges
that
we're
facing
we're
trying
to
deal
with
I
in
all
of
these
years.
The
budgets
this
one
is
really
focusing
I,
think
more
and
more
on
Equity
we're
really
actually
doing
the
work,
which
is
really
exciting.
I
It's
not
always
as
obvious
as
it
as
it
might
be,
and
that's
actually
probably
a
good
thing,
because
I
think
we're
making
it
systemic.
So
you
don't
see
it
so
much,
which
is
a
good
thing
and
I
think
that's
all
I
I
want
to
say
just
thank
you.
Mr
chair
for
leading
us
through
US
you're,
going
out
on
a
high
note
with
this
one,
and
thank
you
to
all
my
colleagues
and
our
staff
I
also
actually
kind
of
really
love
the
budget
season.
So
thank
you.
K
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair,
I,
think
I
agree
with
Barbie
I
learned
to
love
the
budget
season
and
I
I
should
be
dreading
it
right,
but
because
it
is
extremely
labor
intensive,
but
it
has
a
very
positive
side
and
the
positive
side
is
that
we
get
to
look
really
deep
in
our
communities
needs
and
desires.
We
really
get
to
engage
with
everybody
and
agree
with
you.
Mr
chair.
This
was
another
year
where
you
know
the
these
two
aphorisms
are
true.
K
There
is
no
such
thing
like
a
good
budget
year
or
an
easy
budget
here,
and
the
second
one
is
that
every
line
item
has
a
constituency,
and
this
is
very
important-
and
this
played
a
very
big
role,
and
this
is
an
additional
reason
for
thanking
you
and
commending
you
to
an
extraordinarily
well-managed
budget
process.
K
I
think
that
the
chair
plays
it
very
critical
role
here,
in
collaboration
with
a
amazing
preparing
a
work
of
the
Department
of
management
in
finance
and
everybody
involved
in
the
country
manager's
effort
to
present
a
robust
budget,
but
I
think
that
your
chairmanship
has
really
accomplished
something
that
we
all
can
be
proud
of,
and
this
is
this
was
really
very,
very
well
done.
K
If
I,
you
said
Mr
chair
that
the
concert
is
responsive,
responsible
and
I
I
would
add
it's
also
audited.
We
have
really
checks
and
balances.
We
have
good
inside
mechanisms
to
understand,
not
only
be
careful
about
how
we
spend
where
we
spend,
and
you
know
the
way
we
spent
public
money
doing
that
their
responsibly
and
with
a
lot
of
you,
know,
possibilities
to
to
to
to
internally
check
on
these
processes
and
make
yeah
and
making
these
making
it
very
true.
K
Inspired
I
want
to
use
this
opportunity
again
to
invite
everybody
to
where
it
really.
You
know
there
is
really
a
presentation
online,
a
presentation
of
artists,
or
you
know
in
real
time
how
how
Arlington's
taxpayers
money
is
actually
spent
and
implemented,
but
it's
also
our
benedor
on
the
boards
on
it
Direction
it's
Odyssey
decisions
and
over
how
we
align
and
understand
the
problems
in
front
of
us
and
the
best
and
most
efficient
way
from
the
financial
point
of
view.
K
That
said
this
year,
I
would
agree
with
everybody
who
is
seeing
that
our
biggest
challenge
by
far
is
the
growing
economic
inequality,
the
early
onions,
and
we
have
seen
that
in
Appropriations,
like
the
eviction
prevention
funding,
the
pressure
to
invested
more
in
housing
that
these
these
these
differences.
These
discrepancies
are
really
bothering
me.
They
are
not
they're
not
easier
to
address,
they
are
becoming
more
difficult
to
address
and
that
will
be
a
threshold
for
next
budget
and
then
operate
for
quite
a
while.
K
In
ahead
of
us,
we
have
been
responsive
to
the
Mental
Health
crisis
in
many
different
levels.
In
this
budget,
I
was
very
happy
to
see
that
we
support
our.
K
Economic
Development
and
specifically
I'm
very
happy
to
see
that
we
have
finally
invested
appropriate
amounts
of
money
to
strengthen
our
Partnerships,
the
Columbia
Pike
partnership,
the
Alex
Boulevard
partnership
and
plan
on
Alliance.
These
are
critical
partners
and
when,
when
we
want
to
say
that
we're
putting
the
money
in
our
mouth
is
when
it
comes
to
this,
to
support
and
continuous
engagement
with
small
businesses
with
these
amazing
but
struggling
employers
that
we
have
all
over
in
Arlington,
but
specifically
in
these
three
aforementioned
couriers.
K
I
think
that
these
are
these
are
my
very
personal
highlights.
I
was
very
I'm,
very
thankful
to
both
you
who
worked.
We
worked
well
together
to
keep
the
additional
climate
coordinator
position.
This
is
another
huge
challenge
that
we
that
we
will
have
to
deliver
in
in
a
way
that
that
it
is
a
whole
government
response
exactly
the
same
way.
We
did
it
the
equity
front,
which
I
think
that
we
made
significant
progress,
but
a
lot.
K
A
lot
more
needs
to
be
done,
and
this
budget
has
again
be
very
responsive
on
this
I
will
close
with
saying
thanking
again
DMF
and
the
leadership
between
Memphis
and
the
county.
Manager's
office
for
doing
an
amazing
work,
I
commend
them
and
I
congratulate
them
for
the
start
of
budget
year
fiscal
year,
25
and
I
am
ready
to.
You
know,
support
the
the
remaining
motions
to
complete
the
budget
work
for
this
year.
Thank
you.
Thank.
J
Thank
you,
Mr
chair.
As
you
alluded,
our
economic
forecasts
in
the
course
of
this
budget
have
improved
significantly
it's
a
little
easier
to
talk
about
a
great
budget.
When
the
the
over
the
last
three
months,
we
have
seen
growth
in
our
economic
forecasts.
J
We
have
a
budget
that
will
meet
many
of
the
pressing
needs
in
our
community
and
I
believe
will
do
so
in
a
fiscally
Smart
Way
on
our
economy
and
economic
development.
Our
commercial
sector
essentially
stayed
level
and
growth
a
remarkable
result,
given
the
ongoing
vacancy
rate
of
22
percent
I
think
we're
going
to
need
to
be
vigilant
because
leases
are
two
five
and
ten
years.
So
we
may
not
have
seen
the
the
bottom
of
this
Challenge
and
there's
much
work
to
do.
J
I
want
to
Echo
the
thanks
really
to
colleagues
and
to
the
manager
for
the
investment
in
Langston,
Boulevard,
Alliance
and
Clarendon
Alliance,
and
the
Columbia
Pike
Partners
I
acknowledge
that
this
has
been
a
long-standing
thing
that
we've
sought
to
work
on.
I
think
that
we
have
a
way
of
moving
forward
I'm,
mindful
that
there
will
always
be
additional
needs,
but
I
really
appreciate
that.
We've
we've
taken
this
step
narrowly
on
housing.
J
The
budget
focuses
on
it
and
I'm
really
pleased
that
it
does
so
there's
a
request
for
150
000
in
additional
inspections
of
committed,
affordable
units
from
our
housing
groups.
We've
done
that
I
believe
that
we
have
effectively
reached
the
commitment
for
the
equivalent
of
18.7
million
in
dollars
in
ahif
in
the
budget
in
the
last
week.
For
those
not
following,
we
have
put
over,
4.5
million
could
be
4.6
million
in
funding
for
ahif,
which
is
always
a
priority.
I'm
particularly
pleased
that
we
put
800
000
in
ongoing
funding.
J
You
mentioned
eviction
prevention,
there's
more
to
do,
but
we
have
been
able
to
listen
to
our
community
and
invest
in
affordable
housing
on
our
collective
bargaining,
I'm
thrilled
I
mentioned
it
earlier.
I
do
think
for
responsibility
and
posterity
just
in
case
not
everyone
was
watching
on
Tuesday
we
did
a
vote
as
a
as
a
majority
of
the
board,
not
all
board
members.
We
did
vote
to
increase
board
members
salaries,
I
think
it's
important
to
State
it
here,
because
I
don't
think
everybody
was
listening
on
Tuesday.
It
was
12
000
per
board.
J
Member
I
continue
to
believe
that
it's
the
responsible
thing
to
do
so
that
all
so
that
more
and
more
of
our
community
can
fiscally
afford
to
serve
in
this
role,
which
better
serves
our
community
as
a
whole.
Irrespective
of
your
political
views
on
climate
change,
Echo,
the
thought
big
thanks
to
for
the
for
the
second
climate
position,
there's
much
more
to
do
to
deliver
transformational
change,
but
this
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction
on
our
schools
and
children.
J
Just
to
get
specific.
The
four
behavioral
health
professionals
in
our
high
schools
I'm
very
glad
that
we
prioritize
that
so
that
only
in
public
schools
will
be
able
to
invest
there
and
and
and
it's
part
of
our
budget,
but
but
there's
it's
a
a
benefit
that
will
accrue
to
our
schools,
quite
quite
specifically,
as
well
as
our
children
and
youth
as
a
whole.
J
There's
also
in
the
aps,
budget
I
think
we
provided
in
that
39
sufficient
funding
for
additional
staff
to
address
this
Mental
Health,
Challenge
and
substance
abuse,
which
are
such
pressing
issues
for
us.
I
know
we
will
remain
committed
to
addressing
the
Mental
Health
crisis
head
on,
and
it's
so
clear
that
we
must
finally
on
Hunger
I'm
appreciative
a
small
small
amount,
but
the
mini
grants
I
think
are
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
They're
fiscally
smart,
they're
focused,
we
also
have
invested.
J
This
is
an
area
where
need
is
particularly
acute
now
because
of
the
snap
Cliff
that
has
come
and
also
we're
seeing
needs
frankly
at
our
providers
that
are
greater
than
it
sometimes
during
the
pandemic.
I
want
to
and
by
complementing
the
leadership
of
the
county
manager
and
Deputy
County
Manager
Ms
Cowan
as
well.
J
I
think
you
are
now
accustomed
to
my
late
January
early
February
spike
in
concern
with
all
the
things
that
I
want
to
want
to
address,
but
also
to
you
Mr
chair
for
leading
a
budget
process
that
was
effective
and
made
Investments,
which
certainly
align
with
with
my
priorities
and
the
priorities
of
the
the
that
Arlington
has
been
all
about.
J
So
a
very
big
thank
you
to
you,
Mr
chair,
as
well
as
to
colleagues
as
a
whole
I
think
we
were
able
to
make
investments
that
set
us
up
for
future
growth,
I'm
happy
to
support
the
budget.
L
Much
Mr
chair
I
want
to
begin
by
echoing
the
things
that
others
have
provided
and
particularly
heartfeltically
articulated
by
you,
Mr
chair
to
our
budget
team,
at
our
County
Manager
to
Ms
Cowan,
to
the
entirety
of
the
county
manager's
office
and
the
extraordinary
group
of
DMF
employees
who
work
tirelessly,
fueled
only
by
passion
for
good
budgeting
practices
and
Tang.
L
You
all
I
have
been
just
extraordinary
partners
and
we
appreciate
it
I
appreciate
it
immensely
I
think
my
colleagues
have
actually
done
a
fantastic
job,
summarizing
some
of
the
priorities
of
the
budget
and
so
I'm
not
going
to
belabor
them.
I
want
to
talk
about
one
kind
of
remaining
point
with
regarding
this
budget,
then
a
couple
of
big
themes.
L
If
you
all
will
indulge
me
as
chair
Dorsey,
noted
in
a
little
bit
of
reflection
upon
the
completion
of
my
eighth
and
final
budget.
First,
though,
just
a
note
regarding
housing,
there
was
a
lot
of
conversation.
We
certainly
heard
a
lot
of
advocacy
about
ahif,
I
I
feel
that
and
I
very
personally,
as
I
know,
my
colleagues
do
as
well.
I
wanted
to
note
in
some
ways
you
know
where
it's
interesting.
L
What
we
are
adopting
today
is
also
paired
with
9.6
million
that
we
were
not
planning
on
or
that
was
sort
of
conceived
of
in
the
overall
pool
of
developer
contributions,
but
not
in
the
near
term,
with
the
Americana
site
plan
that
we
just
approved,
and
it
is
just
a
reminder
that
the
general
fund
contributions
to
the
ahif
are
not
the
Alpha
and
Omega
of
the
money
that
is
available
to
support
the
development
of
affordable
housing
in
our
community.
L
But
the
real
plan
I
wanted
to
make
is
that
we
not
forget
about
the
bar
Croft,
Apartments
I.
Think
so
much
of
the
conversation
that
we
have
had
about
the
AF
and
the
amount
of
money
in
the
ahif
just
treats
that
150
million
dollar
investment
as
though
it
simply
doesn't
exist
and
I
think,
while
the
the
support
of
preservation
of
those
many
many
units
for
nearly
a
century
of
affordability.
L
That
by
no
means
absolves
us
of
the
need
for
other
action
and
aggressive
action
and
continued
contributions
to
the
affordable
housing
ahif
to
the
affordable
housing
investment
fund.
But
I
think
it
really.
It
does
us
a
dissurface
to
pretend
that
that
investment
doesn't
exist
both
in
terms
of
our
measuring
and
monitoring
towards
our
overall
goals,
consistent
with
the
affordable
housing
investment
or
the
affordable
housing
master
plan.
L
We
talked
about
that
as
a
generational
investment.
It
still
is
and
to
to
sort
of
pretend
that
our
affordable
housing
investment
fund
picture
you
know,
is
not
colored
or
shaped
by
the
the
150
million
dollar
loan
own
and
the
significant
multi-million
dollar
Debt
Service
that
we
would
pay
on
that
every
year.
It
just
to
me
is
leaving
out
a
really
important
part
of
the
picture,
Okay.
L
So
beyond
that
again
echo
my
colleagues,
thoughts
on
the
environmental
Investments,
certainly
the
mental
health,
which
has
been
a
really
strong
one,
our
Public
Schools
and
other
areas
of
priority
I.
Think
colleagues
have
put
that
well,
two
observations,
just
in
Closing
one
is:
this
budget
reflects
a
transition
that
is
hard-fought,
difficult
to
do
and
very
much
not
yet
settled,
and
that
is
the
idea
of
equity
as
sharing
power,
and
it
does
that
in
a
couple
of
ways.
L
L
Are
you
know
we,
as
as
the
Stanford
authors
point
out,
we
innately
know
what
good
means
to
us
and
from
our
perspective,
but
when
we
invite
others
to
the
table,
it
requires
us
to
expand
that
definition,
which
makes
budgeting
in
some
ways
harder,
but
I
think
this
budget
shows
that
we're
making
an
effort
to
do
that
in
two
ways.
The
first
and
I
won't
belabor
this,
because
I
had
a
great
opportunity
supported
by
colleagues,
questions
to
talk
about
it,
but
the
notice
of
funding
available
transitioned
to
non-profit
funding
is
really
about
sharing
power.
L
With
this
community
and
Community
leaders
to
help
us
Define,
the
needs,
I
have
to
say
I
regret
a
little
bit
that
I
won't
have
the
opportunity
to
vote
on
non-profit
funding
in
that
new
system,
but
I
hope
that
we've
laid
the
seeds
to
truly
share
power
with
more
diverse
voices
in
our
community
and
defining
needs
and
how
they
should
be
met
and
the
other
big
piece
of
power
sharing
that
is
reflected
here
is
collective
bargaining
and
speaking
of
things
that
have
been
enormously
demanding
in
terms
of
time
and
energy,
on
our
department
of
management
and
finance.
L
Our
manager's
office,
our
legal
team,
as
well
as
employee
leadership
themselves.
This
is
a
huge
amount
of
work
and
as
the
manager
as
the
guidance
that
our
chair
included,
you
know
indicates
it's
only
one
step,
but
this
is
about
transforming
how
we
do
the
budget.
We
talk,
for
example,
one
of
the
things
that's
come
up
a
lot
when
we
talk
about
ownership,
housing
is,
you
know,
live
where
you
work
grants
right,
or
we
sometimes
talk
about
other
benefits
and
how
to
wear
benefits
reflect
our
values.
L
Well,
this
is
actually
no
longer
just
about
what
we
think
our
Community
Values
are
even
what
we
hear
from
residents
about
the
benefits
that
we
should
be
expending
to
our
employees.
It's
about
our
employees
own
priorities
right
so
so
we
now
are
no
longer
talking
about
benefits
in
terms
of
how
do
they
align
with
what
the
board
values
they
are
collectively
bargained
benefits
along
with
salaries.
L
This
is
so
important
because
employees
are
80
of
our
budget
and
for
the
first
time
we
are
treating
them,
not,
as
you
know,
inputs
or
widgets,
but
as
real
Partners
in
determining
what
the
future
of
the
county,
as
reflected
in
our
budget,
should
look
like
and
that's
immensely
exciting.
It
is
also
messy
and
hard,
and
so
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone.
L
Who's
been
involved
in
this
because
I
think
this
is
set
our
budgeting
on
a
path
to
the
Future
that
really
really
embodies
the
the
value
of
equity
that
we
all
profess
to
care
about.
L
One
final
parting
thought
one
of
the
things
that
I
have
sort
of
brought
up
over
the
years
that
has
perhaps
stuck
in
my
cross
since
our
first
budget
is
this
ongoing
challenge,
where
we
ask
our
departments
to
bring
forward
performance
measures,
and
they
are
rarely
performance
measures
realistically
far
too
often
they
are
inputs
or
at
best
outputs
I
have
at
times
been
a
nag
about
this.
L
At
times
less
of
a
nag
I
know
our
departments
are
doing
the
best
that
they
can,
but
I
spent
some
time
recently
with
our
fiscal,
Affairs,
advisory,
commission
and
I
think
they
really
helped
remind
me
why
all
of
this
matters,
because
they
talked
about
the
challenge
of
understanding
the
community's
real
goals.
When
reviewing
the
budget
document
and
and
I
think
to
me,
I've
always
maintained
right.
We
have
a
strategic
plan,
we
have
goals,
we
have
the
comp
plan,
that
is
our
North
Star,
but
in
that
conversation
with
the
fact
it
really
helped
me
understand.
L
There
is
a
Chasm
of
measurement
between
our
comp
plan
goals,
carbon
neutral
Community
by
2050.,
produce
and
preserve
enough,
affordable
housing
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
community
and
the
inputs
and
outputs
that
we
see
as
those
performance
measures
and
into
that
huge
gap.
This
is
what
our
budget
measures
should
help
fill
this.
L
The
budget
should
be
a
way
for
the
whole
of
the
community
and
for
the
board
members
to
really
say
how
are
we
making
progress
from
from
both
the
dollar
spent
to
the
outputs,
to
the
outcomes
to
the
the
you
know,
sort
of
midterm
comp
plan
goals
and
then
to
the
goals
themselves?
So
not
something
that
has
not
necessarily
shifted
in
the
budget
during
my
tenure
and
and
something
that
I
hope
we
can
keep
working
towards.
L
This
is
a
community
I
think
that
holds
its
government
accountable.
This
is
a
government
that
really
seeks
to
hold
itself
accountable
and
I
think
there
are
some
really
exciting
ways
that
we
can
think
about
how
our
budget
could
better
speak
to
our
comp
plan
goals
so
that
we
truly
are
using
the
budget
as
a
tool
of
priority
setting
and
reflection.
L
So
that
is
perhaps
a
challenge
with
which
I
will
leave
others
in
the
main,
though
I
mean
again
just
so
so
appreciative
of
the
work
being
done
at
our
staff
level,
including
at
the
departmental
level,
to
pull
together
a
strong
budget
that
reflects
back
to
the
community
and
gives
us
as
the
board
an
opportunity
to
take
in
the
community's
input
to
try
to
guide
this
County
for
the
next
budget
year
and
thereafter
towards
our
collaborative
goals.
A
L
Fantastic
I
am
going
to
move
all
together
a
series
of
motions
regarding
our
the
tech
Suites
for
our
business.
Improvement
districts
closed
out
my
window.
Please
forgive
me.
Oh
no
I
thought
I
had
this
handy,
I
just
need
one
moment
you
got
it.
Thank
you.
L
L
A
great
opportunity,
as
part
of
our
briefing
with
the
Arlington
economic
development
team,
to
hear
from
our
bids
about
the
work
that
they
are
doing
and
I
appreciate
the
the
contributions
made
by
our
major
Property
Owners
commercial
property
owners
within
those
districts
to
reinvest
in
them
and
help
them
become
and
continue
to
be
great
places
to
work
and
live.
A
We
don't
have
you
on
the
screen,
so
I'm
gonna,
I'm,
gonna
audibly,
ask
if
you
have
any
comments
you
can
feel
free
to
just
say
no.
Okay.
Thank
you.
Well
now
ready
to
move
to
a
vote
on
items
moved
by
Miss
Crystal,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed
aye
the
eyes
have
it
5-0.
Thank
you.
Miss
Crystal
will
now
move
to
Mr
deferanti
yeah.
J
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair,
I
will
move
in
a
block
items.
G-H-I-N-J
G
is
a
move
that
we
adopt
the
amendment
to
chapter
26
article
one
of
the
Arlington
County
code,
which
is
the
utilities
ordinance
attachment
I
I
attachment.
One
excuse
me
of
this
staff
report
to
increase
the
water
and
sewer
rates
effectively
July
1st
2023..
In
addition,
I
move
h,
which
is
to
adopt
the
proposed
amendment
to
chapter
10,
Article
1,
Section,
10,
8,
10-8,
a
of
the
Arlington
County
code
attachment
one
of
the
staff
report.
J
This
concerns
the
annual
household
Solid
Waste
rate
I
also
move
I,
which
concerns
the
stormwater
utility
and
the
stormwater
credit
program,
adopt
the
resolution
attached
to
the
staff
report
concerning
the
creation
of
a
stormwater
utility
and
stormwater
utility
credit
program.
Effective
January,
1,
2024.
A
J
I'll
briefly,
just
try
to
cover
these.
The
first
GE
concerns
our
water
and
sewer
rates.
There's
a
need
for
slight
additional
Investments
so
that
we
can
cover
the
costs
involved.
So
that's
why
I
move
G
with
respect
to
H.
This
is
a
big
item
that
the
manager
and,
frankly,
we've
we've
tried
to
highlight
so
that
we
do
not
surprise
our
residents
there's
been
an
increase
from
307.89
to
406
dollars
and
14
cents
for
solid
waste.
J
This
is
because
we
had
an
excellent
contract,
which
is
in
its
I
believe
penultimate
year,
and
we
now
need
to
the
market
requires
a
significantly
additional
investment
there.
In
order
for
us
to
receive
this
I
think
we
would
all
say
essential
service,
the
stormwater
utility
and
stormwater
credit
program.
We
did
receive
one
letter
in
this
broad
area
in
advance
of
this
meeting.
J
This
we've
had
a
lot
of
discussion,
but
this
is
also
going
to
be
something
that
our
residents
need
to
continue
to
be
informed
about
and
educated
on
and
engaged
with
on,
but
moving
in
the
direction
of
the
stormwater
utility
is
necessary
for
that
resolution,
and
then
last
is
a
new
fee,
at
least
as
far
as
I
was
able
to
discern
in
the
in
the
staff
report,
and
it's
for
for
topsoil
in
the
amount
of
forty
dollars
per
cubic
yard.
J
I
am
one
who
believes
that
this
is
a
sensible
fee
and
that,
if
you
want
this
in
the
private
sector,
if
you
purchase
this,
that's
a
significant
cost
and
we
should
not
be
making.
We
should
be
doing
this
fee
to
recover
costs
in
this
area.
I
think
I've
covered
it
and
if
the
manager
or
the
or
the
chair
will,
let
me
know
if
I've
said
anything
inaccurate.
A
K
With
some
fee
increases,
but
they're
all
modest,
and
mostly
you
know
to
to
make
up
for
inflation.
K
So
this
is
item
k
which
the
the
motion
is
to
adopt
amendments
to
chapter
26
utilities,
Article
1,
Section,
26-11
and
section
26-12
of
the
Arlington
County
code
utilities,
Ordinance
untouchment,
one
to
this
item
to
increase
the
infrastructure,
availability
fees
and
meet
your
installation
charges.
Effective
July,
1st
2023
I
will
then
follow
up
follow
with
mail.
K
These
are
two
recommendations
and
County
management
recommendations
that
I
will
be
moving
number
one:
adapt
and
inflationary
increase
of
5.2
percent
to
the
Department
Environmental
Services
development,
related
fees
as
depicted
on
Des
Department
of
governmental
Services
permit,
and
please
number
22,
Street
Development
and
Construction
section
22-7
chapter
57
erosion
and
sentiment
control,
section
57-8
in
chapter
61,
Chesapeake,
Bay,
preservation,
ordinance,
section
61-4
of
the
county
code
of
Arlington,
County,
Virginia
related
to
charges
for
the
review
and
approval
of
engineering
plans,
building
permits,
right
away,
use,
permit
fees
and
other
related
permitting
construction
and
inspection
services
are
shown
in
attachment.
K
A
effect
to
this
to
this
item
for
L,
effective
July,
1st
23
and,
secondly,
I
moved
to
adopt
an
ordinance,
as
shown
in
attachment
B
to
amend
reenact
and
recordify
chapter
subdivision,
section:
23-11,
subsection,
a
of
the
country
code
of
Arlington
County
Virginia
to
move
the
fees
relating
to
plot
review
and
public
Improvement
public
Bond,
Administration
fees
to
the
Des.
Permit,
plan,
review,
subdivision
plan,
platter,
review
and
bond
administration
fee
schedule
and
increase
the
fees
by
an
inflationary
factor
of
5.2
percent.
As
shown
in
attachment
a
effective
July
1st
2023.
K
K
34N
is
the
motion
is
to
adopt
the
fiscal
year.
2024
Department
of
Parks
and
Recreation
fee
resolution
attachment
one
to
this
item
34n.
So
to
all
this,
these
are
different
fees,
as
I
said
before.
These
are
relatively
moderates
increases
or
increases
that
are
linked
to
an
inflation
or
indicate
indicator
for
the
most
part,
5.2
percent
or
like
in
the
case
of
the
the
last
item,
the
Department
of
Correction
Recreation.
K
These
are
fees
that
you
that
are
catching
up
with
the
idea
of
a
cost
recovery
of
programs
that
the
department
is
offering
I.
Don't
think
that
I
would
like
to
make
more
provide
more
explanations
for
those
who
are
interested.
They
can
actually
visit
the
the
agenda
for
today's
meeting.
The
feed
schedules
are
all
listed
and
there
is
a
clear
listing
of
the
previous
and
the
adjusted
fees,
and
these
are.
This
is
really
you
know
the
pigeon,
potatoes
of
administrative
fees.
K
A
Thank
you,
so
Mr
parentonis
has
moved
the
county,
manager's
recommendations
for
items,
34,
KLM
and
N
Miss
Crystal
I
heard
you
earlier
with
a
second
okay,
all
right,
signed
it
by
Miss
Crystal,
any
further
discussion,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye,
aye,
aye
and
hearing
none
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
and
K
through
n
are
adopted
and
Miss
Carvey.
Will
you
close
us
out.
I
I
will
try
to
and
be
efficient
about
it.
So
I
am
also
moving.
The
manager's
recommendation
for
for
item
o
I
move
that
we
adopt
the
proposed
amendments
to
chapter
66
of
the
code
of
Arlington
County,
Virginia
related
to
modifying
the
technology
Zone
qualifications,
as
described
in
the
board
report
of
April
12.
I
for
item
P
I,
move
that
we
adopt
the
proposed
fiscal
year.
2024
pay
plan
as
set
forth
in
attachments
one
to
sixth
of
the
April
18
staff
report
for
item
Q
I
move
that
we
adopt
the
fire
department.
Special
events
fee
schedule
is
set
forth
in
the
board
report
of
April
22nd
and
for
item
R
I
move
that
we
adopt
increases
to
the
police
department
fees
related
to
off-duty
details,
including,
but
not
limited
to
special
events,
effective
July,
1,
2023
and
reflected
in
the
resolution
attached
to
the
staff
report
of
April
3rd
2023.
I
Just
a
little
bit
on
the
the
first
one
to
modify
the
technology
Zone
qualifications.
These
amendments
are
just
modernizing
chapter
66,
ordinance
language,
to
align
with
current
business
processes
and
Trends
in
the
tech
industry,
their
minor
minor
technical
changes
and
they're
not
expansive.
They
also
actually
include
some
updated
language
from
the
commissioner
of
the
revenue
and
we've
done
things
like
change,
Jefferson,
Davis,
Corridor
to
the
proper
Richmond
Highway
name.
So
that's
the
that's.
I
What
that
is
the
one
on
P,
which
is
the
pay
plan
you
know
each
year
is
part
of
the
budget
process.
We
do
adopt
an
updated
pay
plan.
This
one
includes
adjustments
made
as
part
of
the
compensation
maintenance
plan
and
our
decisions.
I
I
could
read
everything
I
think.
Maybe
people
don't
need
to
hear
at
all.
It
does
include
the
the
increase
in
board
salaries
that
Mr
D
Franti
mentioned
earlier,
so
I
won't
go
into
those
the
special
events-
fees
item,
q-
that
is
actually
a
new
one.
In
the
past,
the
fire
Department's
not
publicly
published
special
events
fees,
but
moving
forward,
we
will
publish
the
fire
department's
special
event
fees
to
ensure
transparency
for
our
public.
I
It's
kind
of
interesting,
just
I
think
we
we
host
a
lot
of
special
events
which
people
are
sort
of
aware
of,
and
they
include
festivals,
bike,
races,
running
races,
marathons
parades
and
Pub
crawls,
and
we
provide
all
kinds
of
emergency
services
for
people
to
keep
everyone
safe
and
then
item
R,
the
last
one.
This
is
emotion.
I
This
includes
an
increase
in
the
off-duty
hourly
rate
for
sworn
police
officers,
from
60
to
75
dollars
an
hour
per
officer,
there's
also
an
increase
in
administrative
and
vehicle
fees
and
it's
all
to
achieve
cost
recovery
recovery,
which
the
current
fees
set
way
back
in
2013
have
not
kept
up
with
and
we're
also
more
fairly
allocating
costs.
So
that's
a
quick
summary.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
on
those
items?
Mr
Karen
Thomas,
any
further
discussion
hearing
none,
no
move
to
a
vote,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed
hearing,
no
opposition.
The
eyes
have
five
zero
and
that
concludes
our
consideration
of
item
number
34.
Ms
Jacobs.
Are
there
any
other
items
that
need
to
come
before
the
board
today?
There.
