A
Good
afternoon,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
and
welcome
to
the
December
20
20th
22
County
Board
recess
meeting
our
final
formal
meeting
of
the
Year.
This
is
County
Board,
chair,
Katie,
Crystal,
I'm
joined
by
my
colleagues,
Vice
chairman
Dorsey,
Mr,
Karen,
Thomas,
Mr,
defranti
and
I
know
we
are
awaiting
Ms
Garvey
joining
us
presently.
We
are
beginning
with
just
a
few
recognitions
as
well
as
reports
from
board
members.
I
want
to
start
by
recognizing
a
true
loss
to
our
community,
former
County
Board
member
and
chair
Al
Eisenberg
passed
away
on
November
15th.
A
B
Well,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
Al
Eisenberg
for
people
who've
been
around
Arlington
for
a
long
time
is
a
known
name
and
an
influential
figure.
You
know
I
remember
during
the
time
when
I
was
beginning
in
Arlington
County,
he
was
one
of
those
people
who
you
know
was
kind
of
felt
very
distant
because
he
was
on
the
County
Board.
B
He
felt
like
a
very,
very
big
deal
and
what
was
clear
from
admiring
his
work
from
afar
was
that
he
had
the
sharpest
intellect-
and
you
know,
really
brought
a
degree
of
policy
expertise
to
his
work
in
the
county
and,
of
course
that
then
served
him
well
as
he
moved
on
to
serve
in
the
house
of
delegates-
and
you
know
also
his
service
that
preceded
that
in
the
the
Clinton
Administration,
he
was
really
a
a
giant
of
a
figure
in
local
Civic
and
political
Affairs.
B
We
were
both
unsuccessful
as
the
case
as
the
case
was,
but
you
know
he
was
just
truly
very
intelligent,
decent
person
who
very
much
had
the
perspective
of
Arlington,
first
and
foremost,
and
and
he,
along
with
his
wife,
Sharon,
really
presented
as
one
of
our
Premier
power
couples
in
the
region,
with
the
work
that
Sharon
did
with
with
local
schools
and
also
her
work
on
the
hill.
Just
two
people
to
be
admired,
and
over
the
years
I
have,
you
know,
grown
very
fond
of
them
outside
of
political
competition
and
his
loss.
B
C
That
allianzenberg,
he
was
also
not
only
a
former
County
Board
member.
He
was
also
a
delegate
in
the
Virginia
General
Assembly.
He
represented
Arlington
very
well
there
and
he
did
a
lot
for
Virginia.
His
name
is
associated
here
in
this
County,
with
housing,
housing,
support
for
housing,
affordability
and,
specifically
with
a
housing
grants
program.
C
I
cannot
enumerate
how
many,
how
many
thousands
of
households
have
been
able
to
live
in
Arlington
because
of
Al
Eisenberg
I
think
this
is.
This
is
a
legacy
that
is
very
difficult
to
forget.
He
was
extremely
meticulous.
He
put
this
program
on
very,
very
sturdy
trucks,
and
here
we
are
still
working
with
this
program
and
and
trying
to
keep
our
Lincolns
here.
C
C
It
is
always
a
passing
like
he
has
a
good
reminder
of
how
important
it
is
to
pay
a
lot
of
attention
to
this
to
these
ailments
and
to
provide,
as
much
of
you
know,
support
as
we
can
to
the
families
to
the
people
and
make
sure
that
the
systems
and
the
health
care
is
there
to
attend
to
everybody
who
will
need
this
Care.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you
I
appreciate
that
Mr
Karen,
Thomas
and
Ms
Garvey
Mr.
Definitely.
E
Sure,
thank
you,
sorry
to
be
just
a
little
bit
late,
so
I
Al
was
a
major
person
when
I
came
on
the
scene,
which
was
way
before
I
mean
or
at
least
a
little
before
or
way
before,
most
of
you
here
and
it's
kind
of
a
reminder
of
the
debt.
We
owe
the
people
that
came
before
us.
E
It's
really
incredible.
I
mean
this
is
a
wonderful
County
and
it
isn't
just
because
of
what
we
do
here
is
what's
been
done
for
decades
and
and
Al
was
part
of
that.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
attend
his
services
and
learn
some
things.
I
hadn't
known
before
he
had
been
basically
a
father
figure
to
Adam
Parker
menko.
He
was
a
young
man
who
really
needed
a
father
in
his
life.
He
said,
he'd
show
up
on
Sundays,
be
watching
television,
not
sure
if
they'd
be
noticed
and
I
would
say.
E
What
are
you
doing
here,
but
welcome
him
and
you
know,
have
him
join
the
family
in
all
kinds
of
activities,
so
that
was
that
was
really
interesting
and
then
on
his
legislative
accomplishments.
I
didn't
I
actually
had
forgotten
how
much
we
owe
to
not
not
having
smoking
in
restaurants.
That
was
apparently
Al's
Bill,
and
he
did
a
lot
with
that.
E
So
he's
a
man
great
intellect
it's
sort
of
tragic
that
that's
what
got
taken
first,
but
it
was
wonderful
to
sort
of
be
with
a
lot
of
the
folks
who,
as
I
say,
help
make
this
County
what
it
is
and
we're
continuing
that
work,
and
hopefully,
in
a
number
of
years
people
will
be
remembering
us
and
that
we've
continued
that
that
trajectory.
Thank
you.
Ms.
F
Sure,
just
I
made
time
to
go
to
the
viewing
I
didn't
get
to
the
service,
but
I
did
go
to
the
viewing
and
front
and
center
was
an
award
on
affordable
housing,
and
it
did
make
me
feel
that
there's
I
never
got
to
meet
Al
Eisenberg,
but
it
didn't
make
me
feel
that
there's
a
history
that
I'm
missing
that
I
want
to
continue
to
learn
more
about
him
and
certainly
I
did
get
to
know
Sharon
Davis.
D
A
Thank
you
so
much
I
know
our
thoughts
are
all
with
his
family.
This
is
a
hard
time
of
year
to
be
losing
someone,
particularly
after
a
long
goodbye,
but
as
Ms
Garvey
said,
his
contributions
have
certainly
made
this
community
much
better
for
his
time
spent
here
in
Arlington,
and
we
are
grateful
for
that
Legacy.
Indeed,
all
right,
we
will
move
next
to
board.
Member
and
chair
reports.
I
am
delighted
to
have
an
opportunity
to
welcome
a
couple
of
guests
to
deliver
a
report
with
me
about
transitioning,
non-profit
funding
decisions.
A
So
we
are
joined
today
by
a
few
members
of
a
pretty
extraordinary
team
that
has
been
generously
giving
of
its
time
for
the
past
more
than
18
months.
At
this
point
before
I
launched
into
a
presentation,
I
just
want
to
do
a
quick
round
of
introduction
that
we
have
with
us
Cicely,
Whitfield,
Kita,
stephaniezer,
Sal,
Reyes
and,
of
course,
our
beloved
Samia
bird
or
she's
Chief
race
and
Equity
officer
for
the
county
as
well
as
I.
Think
we've
got
DaVinci
Patel
on
the
phone.
Is
that
right,
who
I
think
maybe
driving
through
Danville?
A
Thank
you.
So
much
I'm
really
grateful
to
these
folks
as
you'll
see
as
I
share
a
little
more
about
today's
presentation.
A
The
the
time
commitment
benefit
of
the
doubt,
and
so
many
other
things
that
they
have
extended
to
me
personally
and
to
us
as
County
government
and
trying
to
rethink
a
pretty
fundamental
way
of
doing
business
here,
which
is
to
say
the
way
that
the
County
Board
makes
decisions
around
non-profit
funding
and
seeking
to
reform
that
to
really
reflect
our
goals
of
racial
Equity,
of
listening
to
our
communities
and
to
trusting
our
communities,
particularly
our
communities
of
color
when
it
comes
to
defining
the
the
needs
and
coming
up
with
solutions
to
meet
those
needs.
A
So
I'm
going
to
launch
in
with
just
a
little
bit
of
an
overview
of
our
project.
The
exciting
thing
to
be
presented
today
is
that
this
team
has
really
helped
work
closely
with
government.
Particularly
me
as
representative
of
this
board.
Samia
is
representative
of
the
county,
manager's
office
and
others
to
co-create
a
set
of
principles
for
how
funding
can
move
forward
in
a
way
that
really
does
reflect
our
values
of
racial
equity
and
Community
Partnership.
So
just
to
launch
in
with
our
first
slide
here.
A
What
is
this
project
so
as
indicating
as
I
indicated
before
this
was
about
bringing
together
bypoc
voices
in
our
community
and
particularly
Community
leaders
like
the
ones
that
we
have
today,
who
have
I
think
fair
to
fade
deep
credibility
in
among
our
community
members
among
our
community
members
in
our
black
and
latinx
communities
in
particular,
to
take
on
this
question
of
how
Arlington
has
made
community
and
Human
Services
funding
decisions,
and
particularly
how
this
board
has
made
community
and
Human
Services
funding
decisions,
which
is
to
say
in
somewhat
of
a
at
best
ad
hoc
way,
year
after
year
with
the
budget
in
a
way
that
that
really
didn't
live
up
to
our
values
of
transparency
and
aqua
access.
A
One
of
the
things
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
talking
about
was
a
theme
that
was
really
echoed
by
the
2021
dialogues
and
race
and
Equity
that
Sami
and
her
team
worked
on
with
challenging
racism,
where
we
heard
some
some
very
truthful
feedback
about
how
the
Arlington
way
for
the
many
things
it's
achieved,
and
it's
it's
a
times
positive
reputation.
The
community
also
has
some
real
downsides
that
it
has
been
a
a
system
or
way
of
doing
things
that
has
lacked
transparency
and
access
that
has
prioritized
relationships
over
fairness
at
times.
A
One
of
the
things
we
heard,
often
in
theories
that
it
feels
like
it
is
part
of
a
reflective
of
predetermined
outcomes
and
people
feel
authentically
engaged
and,
above
all,
what
we've
heard
from
our
community
leaders
group
as
well
is
from
the
dialogues
and
recent
Equity
is
it
the
Arlington
Way
has
historically
disadvantaged
disadvantaged
bipod,
community
members
and
organizations,
so
our
goal
in
rethinking
how
Arlington,
and
particularly
the
Arlington
County
Board,
can
think
about
awarding
community
and
Human
Services
funding
was
not
just
to
change
that,
but
also
to
confront
some
of
those
challenges
with
the
Arlington
Way
baked
into
how
we
do
processes
like
the
one
to
rethink
funding
here.
A
The
goal
was,
in
addition
to
try
to
develop
new
ways
of
making
funding
decisions
that
would
be
more
transparent,
accessible
and
racially
Equitable
Equitable,
and
the
group
that
came
together
to
do
this
included
a
number
of
bipod
Community
leaders,
again,
representatives
of
some
community-based
service
providers,
who
really
sought
to
to
bring
in
those
who
maybe
had
led
Grassroots.
You
know
truly
community-based
non-profits
as
well
as
representatives
of
Arlington
County
government.
A
As
I
mentioned,
we
were
supported
by
the
E
Polaris
Unum
Fellowship,
which
is
a
national
Fellowship
working
to
support
local
governments
in
the
South
working
on
issues
of
race
and
Equity,
particularly
systemic
race
and
Equity,
and
through
their
generosity,
we're
able
to
bring
in
external
subject
matter
experts
and
facilitators.
We
partner
closely
with
the
United
Way
of
the
national
capital
area.
A
We
were
also
able
to
draw
on
Experts
from
example,
from
Denver
who
had
worked
on
non-profit
funding
and
funding
for
Equity
as
well,
so
I'm
going
to
share
just
a
quick
timeline
about
our
project
and
then
invite
colleagues
to
to
add
any
comments
about
the
the
project
timeline.
Is
it
unfolded
and
then
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
the
group
to
talk
about
the
recommendations
that
have
come
out
of
these
deliberations
and
then
I'll
close
with
a
few
next
steps?
So
this
is
sort
of
a
recap
we
initially
convened.
A
You
know
having
some
some
exploratory
conversations,
knowing
that
there
was
a
need
to
change
how
we
did
non-profit
funding
and
then
designing
a
project
that
I
worked
on
and
then
sought
funding
for
to
try
to
do
A
needs
assessment
to
say
how
do
we
better
hear
from
members
of
our
community
about
what
they
need
and
then
amend
our
non-profit
funding
practices
to
to
try
to
better
meet
those
needs?
A
We
brought
together
a
group
of
Leaders
with
the
intention
of
engaging
in
sort
of
a
snowball
effort
talking
to
folks
and
then
asking
them
to
refer
to
more
folks
in
the
community
and
so
on,
and
then
we
learned
a
lot
as
we
convene
folks
I
think
what
we
heard
well.
I
know
what
we
heard
was
that
the
way
the
project
had
been
designed
was
perpetuating
a
lot
of
the
very
power
dynamics.
A
So
if
we
go
to
the
next
stage
next
phase,
our
phase
two
are
reset.
We
redefine
the
scope
of
the
project
we
talked
about.
How
would
we
design
a
project
from
the
from
the
start
not
to
do
A
needs
assessment,
but
to
acknowledge
the
the
knowledge
that
was
already
in
the
room
and
one
of
the
biggest
takeaways?
Was
we
flipped
the
way
we
thought
about
it?
A
Instead
of
trying
to
go
and
talk
to
the
community
about
needs
and
then
make
change,
was
that
we
needed
to
show
as
County
government
that
we
were
capable
of
making
some
change
and
using
that
as
a
basis
to
then
try
to
go
to
the
community
and
engage
more
wider
voices
in
the
ongoing
calculation
and
evaluation
of
whether
our
programs
are
doing
what
they
say.
They
can
do
so.
The
the
big
result
here,
as
I
mentioned,
is
the
set
of
recommendations
about
how
we
make
changes
of
County
awarded
funding
you'll
hear
from
our
community
leaders.
A
There's
a
we
have.
There
are
a
fair
number
of
ideas
about
Community
voice
in
doing
that
and
making
those
allocations,
but
I
also
just
want
to
pause
and
acknowledge
that
this
is
in
many
ways
step
one
for
us.
A
We
are
trying
to
to
repair
a
lot
of
historic
distrust
and
a
sense
that
communities
have
been
taken
for
granted
or
even
taken
advantage
of
by
County
government,
and
so
the
broader
work
of
of
continuing
to
to
Really
Engage,
The
Wider
Community,
to
show
that
we're
willing
to
share
power
and
improve
things
and
make
some
of
these
systemic
changes.
This
is
only
the
tip
of
the
iceberg
so
before
I
hand
things
over
to
the
team
to
start
presenting
some
of
the
recommendations
in
specific.
What
do
you
think
you
all?
A
G
Okay,
so
no
I,
don't
think
I,
don't
think
you
put
any
words
in
our
mouths.
I
think
there.
This
was
a
learning
process
for
all
of
us
and
we,
as
a
group
I,
believe
we
can
all
kind
of
say
that
we're
thankful
for
the
opportunity
to
engage
on
this
work
for
the
last
18
months
to
really
see
some
effective
change
start
here
in
Arlington.
G
H
H
I
said
it
will
be
a
change,
because
the
process
already
changed
us
to
be
here
so
I
hope
it
will
be
change.
Thank
you.
Thanks
for
the
opportunity.
I
And
I'll
just
add
that
it's
been
a
pleasure
to
take
part
of
this
process
in
redefining
their
words
and
funding
process
in
Arlington.
We
all
know
that
Arlington
values,
diversity
and
inclusiveness
and
I
just
think
that
this
is.
This
is
a
way
to
make
Arlington
more
transparent,
racially
Equitable
and
accessible
for
all,
and
so
it's
it's
been
18
months
and
it's
it's
been
a
great
experience
and
so
looking
forward
to
sharing
our
recommendations.
A
Well,
thank
you
all
so
much
so
without
further
Ado
I'm
actually
going
to
do
exactly
that.
So,
if
you
scroll
through
you
can
see,
this
is
a
quick
summary
of
four
different
areas.
We've
thought
about
them
as
steps
for
the
for
the
way
that
funding
should
flow
at
Arlington
and
without
further
Ado
ceiling.
I'm
going
to
turn
to
you
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
step,
one,
which
is
to
say
the
call
for
proposals
all.
G
Right
so
the
moment
we've
all
been
waiting
for
so
for
step,
one.
It
was
a
call
for
proposals
and
we
just
had
some
very
kind
of
clear
recommendations
for
for
this
step.
So
it
was
to
have
a
clear
and
competitive,
transparent
process
for
a
nofa
or
notice
of
funding.
Availability
for
Community
Services
is
recommend
is
recommended.
G
It
was
also
there
that
we
said
that
defining
community
service
would
look
like
illustrations
and
examples,
but
not
restrictive
of
certain
categories
restrictive
to
what
we
just
currently
do.
We
wanted
to
it
to
be
an
opportunity
for
defining
Community
Services
as
something
as
being
proactive
instead
of
reactive,
so
us
seeing
things
on
the
front
lines
and
being
able
to
serve
in
those
areas
without
being
restricted
to
what
some
things
are
currently
set
up,
as
can
I
see
one
of
the
other
ones.
G
Okay.
So
then
we
also
had
a
technical
assistance
sessions
where
the
county
would
have
a
technical
assistance
sessions
for
folks
going
after
these
novas.
The
this
part
was
very
important
to
us,
particularly
for
smaller
organizations
who
don't
necessarily
have
the
bandwidth
or
the
the
knowledge
in
the
grant
making
cycle
that
other
larger
organizations
have.
So
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
providing
technical
assistance
from
the
counties
side
would
be
accessible
to
all,
making
it
an
accessible
nofa.
We
also
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
had
transparent
deadlines
and
requests
for
follow-up
of
information.
G
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
having
a
deadline,
especially
for
smaller
non-profits,
is
kind
of
hard
when
it's
only
just
you
or
somebody
else
in
the
office,
so
really
kind
of
being
flexible
enough
with
the
deadline
that
we
can
respond
accordingly,
but
also
when
we
have
requests
to
follow
up
for
information.
G
That
is
not
us
having
to
hurry
to
do
something
then
not
give
a
concise
or
clear
answer,
because
we
don't
have
the
bandwidth
to
do
so,
but
we
also
wanted
to
make
sure
that
in
those
requests,
what
did
I
miss
Ed,
that
the
timelines
for
organizations
to
access
funding
distortions
would
be
like
understood
in
those
requests
as
well.
D
I
All
right,
that's
my
cue,
so
The
Next
Step,
as
you
see
there
on
the
on
the
PowerPoint,
is
evaluating
proposals,
so
bear
with
me
on
this
one.
It's
a
little
long,
so
our
recommendations
are
the
following.
First,
that
proposal
should
be
evaluated
holistically.
For
example,
Matt
divided
into
service
areas
based
on
organization's
ability
to
meet
Community
needs
and
multi-domain
projects
are
welcome.
I
The
kind
of
government
should
not
Define
the
needs
or
service
areas,
and
what
we
mean
by
this
is
that
organizations
are
invited
to
define
the
need
they
see
in
the
community
and
describe
how
they
can
use
County
funding
to
meet
that
need.
I
The
proposals
should
be
evaluated
by
a
panel
of
consisting
of
subject
matters,
experts,
community
members
who
are
eligible
for
and
or
receive
Services.
I
Now
this
may
this.
This
is
not
a
rubric.
It's
not
a
rubric.
Organizations
need
to
provide
the
details
that
matter
most
to
them
in
the
community
they
serve,
which
could
include,
lived
experiences
of
organizations,
leadership,
staff
and
Boards
example,
and
examples
of
hiring
members
of
community
they
serve,
including
a
youth.
I
I
All
right
so
then
I'll
talk
about
the
awards
process.
The
recommendations
are
that
they
should
be
transparency.
County
government
should
make
public
lists
of
current
and
previous
grantees
for
organizations
that
did
not
receive
funding.
G
All
right,
our
final
step
is
the
accountability
and
for
accountability.
We
have
the
following
recommendations
and
we
recommend
did
yes
that
for
funding
agreements
between
organizations
and
County
specific
to
the
Grant
and
include
perspectives
and
feedback
of
community
members
served.
So
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
evaluation
for
for
these
agreements
will
have
measures
that
include
perspectives
of
the
community
and
the
community
members
that
it
serves
and
that
the
technical
assistance
that
the
county
offered
should
meet
within
the
measurement
and
monitoring
plans
of
those
evaluation
measures.
G
We
also
wanted
to
make
sure
that
reporting
structures
are
responsive
to
the
grant,
while
balancing
the
oversight
of
reporting
needs.
This
was
huge
to
us,
because
we
we
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
people
had
the
the
time
and
the
the
expertise
and
the
things
that
they
needed
to
provide
the
correct
reporting
pieces
to
the
county.
So
we
weren't
put
into
a
position
where
it
wasn't
that
we
were
reporting
what
we
actually
needed
to
report
and
I
think
that's
it
for
accountability,
I.
A
A
I
hope
you
can
get
a
sense
of
the
the
spirit
of
deliberation
that
went
into
those
recommendations
and
now
I
think
it's
on
us
as
County
government
to
actually
do
something
with
these
thoughtful
recommendations
for
changing
again
a
process
to
that
is
as
important
as
how
we
allocate
funding
in
a
way
that
reflects
our
our
professed
values.
So
how
do
we
do
that?
Here's
a
little
bit
of
a
timeline
about
next
steps
here
we
obviously
are
interested
now
in
trying
to
engage
the
broader
community
on
these
transition
plans.
A
Today's
presentation
is
part
of
that
we
are
here.
We
also
are
going
to
be
hosting
a
community
meeting
on
January
9th
we've
just
set
the
date
6
30
to
8
30
p.m,
we'll
do
it
at
level
run.
A
Community
Center
and
that'll
be
an
opportunity
for
again
a
version
of
our
our
leaders
group
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
this
process
was
like
from
their
perspective
and
to
explain
the
the
co-created
recommendations
now,
I
think
one
of
the
things
that's
really
important
for
us
to
think
about
is
the
board
and
as
County
government.
A
Obviously
it
takes
a
little
while
to
to
make
a
big
transition
like
this,
and
so
you
can
see
a
sort
of
an
Envision
timeline
for
a
first
full
implementation
of
a
notice
of
funding
available
process
from
advertisement
to
award
consistent
with
other
groups
recommended.
But
this
is
really
important.
I
know
that
we
have
an
opportunity
to
implement
the
principles
associated
with
the
recommendations
between
now
and
then
to
really
show
that
we're
doing
the
work
you
know
as
I
was
mentioning
earlier
about
showing
credibility
and
and
commitment
to
implementing
these
ideas.
A
So
you
can
actually
start
to
see
this
already
in
some
of
the
things
we've
taken
on
when
we
did
the
restorative
justice
notice
of
funding
available
award
or
the
recent
safety
net
notice.
The
funding
available
that
I
think
we
might
be
hearing
more
about
the
manager
more
from
the
manager
about
today
for
covid
Relief.
These
principles
about
a
transparent
and
competitive
process,
applications
with
low
barriers
to
entry,
inviting
community-based
organizations
to
define
the
services
that
they
see
needed.
Rather
than
saying
the
services
that
are,
we
think
as
Government
are
needed
and
inviting
applications.
A
These
principles
are
showing
up
already
and
I.
Think
it's
going
to
be
really
important
for
us
as
the
board
and
government
to
keep
demonstrating
that,
even
as
we
transition
to
a
first
full
formalized,
nofa
system,
so
I
think
our
next
best
chance
to
reflect.
That
is
definitely
going
to
be
in
the
development
of
the
February
or
excuse
me
of
the
fiscal
24
budget
during
February
that'll
be
a
chance
to
to
start
talking
about
the
notice
of
funding
available.
A
In
the
meantime,
our
County
manager's
office
Samia
and
her
teammate
Amber
working
as
well
with
Deputy
County,
Manager,
Michelle,
Cohen
and
and
her
colleague
Elizabeth,
who
is
known
to
us
from
the
the
a
couple
of
these
other
nofas,
are
going
to
be
working
with
this
subject.
Matter:
expert
support
from
the
United
Way
of
the
national
capital
area
to
come
up
with
the
specifics
of
the
competitive
process.
A
So
we've
got
the
principles
now
where
the
rubber
will
meet
the
road
of
you
know
the
actual
timeline
of
of
materials
being
posted
and
that
type
of
thing
and
then
by
the
first
quarter
of
the
fiscal
year,
which
is
to
say
starting
late
summer,
early
fall
of
next
calendar
year
that
notice
of
funding
available
process.
A
Our
goal
is
to
have
that
live
and
out
asking
for
for
proposals
again
for
Community
organizations
to
define
the
needs
and
their
proposals
to
use
County
funding
to
help
meet
those
needs
and
then
convening
and
training
up
a
panel.
As
the
team
mentioned,
the
the
goal
of
having
a
panel
that
is
inclusive
of
not
just
subject
matter,
experts
and
necessary
County
staff
members,
but
also
community
members
with
lived
experience
and
sending
that
entire
panel
together
through
racial
Equity
training.
A
So
they
have
common
language
so
that
they
can
work
during
that
the
the
Q3
and
Q4,
which
is
to
say
the
first
half
of
calendar
2024,
to
make
those
recommendations
so
that
the
board
can
vote
on
the
first
panel
of
recommended
grants
as
part
of
the
fiscal
25
budget
and
allocate
thereafter
I
hope
this
will
become
the
new
way
of
doing
business
in
Arlington
County.
There
is
a
there
are
a
lot
of
other
areas
that
need
to
shift
and
specifics.
You
know
we
also
have
quite
a
few
County
Board
Awards.
A
Now
that
are
discretionary
awards.
That
really
should
be
part
of
dhs's
core
Mission.
So
there's
also
work
to
transition
that
into
a
different
procurement
processes,
but
I
know
for
all
of
us
on
the
County
Board
I
think
we've
long
had
a
desire
to
be
able
to
make
funding
decisions
in
ways
that
are
fair
and
transparent
and
Equitable
and
I'm.
So
grateful
to
this
group
for
giving
us
a
pathway
to
do
that
I'm
going
to
stop
there.
That's
been
a
lot
of
me.
Talking
I
will
once
again
emphasize
that
January
9th
30
to
8
30.
A
we'll
be
having
a
community
meeting
to
also
feel
more
questions
too.
The
community
members
organizations
may
have
about
this
transition
about
the
principles
and
their
development,
and
we
are
also
going
to
aim
to
stand
up
a
web
page
as
well,
so
people
can
learn
more
before
we
wrap
up.
Let
me
open
the
floor
of
my
colleagues.
Have
questions
or
thoughts
the
the
to
reveal
behind
the
curtains
colleagues
have
actually
already
had
a
chance
to
see
this
but
I'm
glad
to
be
able
to
be
joined
by
the
group
of
community
today,
Ms
Garvey.
E
First,
as
per
usual
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
the
specific
specifics,
because
I
think
this
is
just
great
I
I
find
I've
just
I'm
thinking
how
great
it
is
that
we've
had
chair
after
chair
after
chair
that
has
made
Equity
their
initiative,
and
this
is
the
product
of
years
of
work.
It's
like
we're,
not
careening
off
from
this,
isn't
it
you
know
we're
really
staying
focused
on
on
equity
and
it's
making
a
huge
difference.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
E
Right
and
I
was
cheering
I,
think
I.
Remember
that
all
right
good
and
then
we
had
other
things
that
kind
of
seemed
to
get
in
the
way.
But
obviously
this
did
not
stop
and
I'm.
So
glad
that
you,
you
know,
worked
with
them
and
brought
this
here.
It's
a
holistic
approach.
I
also
find
myself
thinking
about
my
days
actually
a
little
bit
with
Peace
Corps
and
foreign
aid,
and
you
know
there's
that
saying
I'm
here
from
the
government
and
I'm
here
to
help
you
and
that's
supposed
to
be
scary.
E
I
realize
it's
really
it's
really,
because
what
it
often
means
is
I'm
here
from
the
government
I'm
here
to
tell
you
what
you
need
and
that's
what's
happened
and
that's
a
had
been
a
problem
in
foreign
aid
for
a
long
long
time
and
we're
finally
have
finally
started
to
fix
that,
and
obviously
that's
been
happening
locally
too,
and
that
sort
of
was
part
of
what
the
Arlington
Way
has
sometimes
been.
E
I
also
think
the
Arlington
Way
is
an
amorphous
thing
that
keeps
changing,
which
is
good
because
we
don't
want
it
to
stay
the
same.
It
also
is
what
people
think
it
is
and
I
do
warn
us.
E
We
may
find
a
little
bit
of
reaction
from
this
that
this
is
not
the
Arlington
way
and
we
have
to
figure
out
ways
to
bring
along
everybody
and
and
explain
that
yeah,
probably
it
maybe
used
to
be,
but
it
isn't
now-
and
this
is
going
to
be
better
and
and
here's-
why
so
I
think
we're
going
to
have
work
to
do
with
the
other
part
of
the
community
that
maybe
is
usually
included
so
I
could
Ramble
On
more,
it's
really
exciting
and
it's
got
it
got
just
kind
of
little.
E
You
know
thoughts,
keep
going
ping,
ping,
ping,
ping
ping
and
it's
just
delightful
way
to
sort
of
end
this
year
and
then
start
the
next
year.
Thank
you,
madam
cheers,
so
much
and
thank
you
to
our
wonderful
workers.
It's
just
it's
great
to
have
you
here.
I,
remember,
Sicily
sitting
and
talking
talking
with
you
and
you
were
upset
about
how
we
were
doing
our
funding.
I,
think
that
was
about
six
or
eight
years
ago.
So
here
we
are,
it
takes
time.
Persistence
is
a
good
thing.
Thank
you.
So
very
much
yeah.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
and
I
share.
The
the
positive
overall
thoughts
I
think
we're
probably
each
in
our
own
way
dangerous
on
this,
because
I've
worked
at
three
or
four
National,
nonprofits
and
and
so
I'll
skip
all
the
summary
of
that.
But
I
will
say
that
my
interactions
with
each
of
you
ring
in
my
mind
as
I'm,
listening
to
what
we're
doing
now
and
I,
don't
I
think
this
will
not
be.
This
is
so
the
right
thing
to
start
and
it
won't
be
all
simple
matter
of
fact.
F
It
will
be
complex
and
complicated,
but
we
have
to
have
a
conversation
instead
of
what
we've
been
doing
to
this
point,
and
so
just
wanted
to
reflect
that
thought
and
I
can't
unhear
what
you've
told
me
on
the
phone
or
via
Zoom
or
in
conversations
and
I,
think
that
that
is
what
fuels
support
for
this
direction.
For
me,.
D
Thank
you
so
much
and
Mr
Mercy.
B
Thank
you
and
thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
persisting
in
this
work.
You
know
and
and
thank
you
to
our
partners
for
persisting
in
this
work,
because
I
am
sure
there
were
many
points
along
the
way
where
frustrations
could
have
called
on
people
to
sort
of
walk
away
and
default
to
the
status
quo
and
I
think
that's
emblematic
of
what
makes
the
work
of
of
equity
in
doing
things
that
are
people-centered
instead
of
bureaucracy
or
organization
Center
that
that's
what
makes
it
hard.
But
that's.
B
All
of
that
and
I
just
I'm
grateful
for
all
of
you
for
sticking
with
it,
because
it
would
have
been
easy,
easy
and
perhaps
even
understandable
if
at
some
point
you
would
just
said
all
right
too
hard
we'll
deal
with
it
later
and
I
just
look
forward
to
helping
to
support
this
as
it
goes
to
the
implementation
phase
in
the
fiscal
years
ahead.
C
You,
madam
chair,
and
this
is
truly
a
milestone.
I
think
I
mean
not
only
you
know.
Gratitude
is
in
order
to
you
for
for
spearheading
that
and
for
connecting
the
dots
between
you
know
our
I
wouldn't
call
it
Equity
deficits,
but
definitely
Equity
liabilities
over
a
very,
very
long
time,
which
has
been
recognized
and
worked
on
by
that
which
makes
it
all
the
mo
the
more
and
more
difficult,
and
we
will
have
more
to
talk
about
how
we
continue
to
work
on
our
Equity
liabilities
in
in
other,
in
other
places
and
in
other
programs.
C
I
find
the
basic
idea
that
applicants
have
to
come
are
invited
and
welcomed
to
come
to
us
with
proposals
and
with
their
own
Grassroots
base.
Definition
of
needs,
a
significant
departure
from
what
we
have
done
until
now.
It
is
very
clear
to
me
that
this
is
not
a
very
easy
thing,
because
any
significant
departure
cannot
be
linear,
but
I.
Thank
you
for
being
partners
and
companions
in
this
in
this
journey
and
I'm
really
looking
forward
on
the
first
grant
a
round
of
feedback
on
January
9th
in
the
first
Public
Presentation
with
practitioners.
A
That
absolutely
thank
you,
Mr
gernonis,
I'm
glad
you
called
that
out.
I
think
that
was
really
one
of
the
major
features.
I
had
the
realization,
anyway,
listening
to
this
group
to
liberate
what
that
means
to
actually
trust
the
community
to
Define
needs
themselves.
That
was
a
really
powerful
takeaway
for
me.
So
I'm
glad
you
called
that
out
too
and
that
you
noted
that
that
will
be
a
challenge,
because
any
big
change
is
a
big
challenge.
A
Well,
on
that
note,
I
just
want
to
conclude
by
thanking
you
all
again
so
much
and
thank
you
to
miss
Patel
for
for
joining
us
virtually
despite
what
sounds
like
a
few
different
family
needs
and
other
things
going
on,
I
think
a
real
sign
of
as
Mr
Josie
was
saying.
The
commitment
that
this
whole
group
has
brought
I'm
very
excited.
We
will
miss
barely
a
beat
at
all
into
the
new
year,
we'll
see
everybody
on
January,
9th
cisley
Samia.
Thank
you
all.

A
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us.
It's
always
a
real
pleasure
when
one
of
our
new
Commissioners
and
designates
can
join
us.
We
really
appreciate
your
service
and
we're
so
glad
to
have
you
well.
Thank
you
to
you,
as
well
as
to
all
those
who
are
serving
upping
their
service.
Your
level
of
Engagement
really
does
make
this
community
stronger,
and
we
are
grateful
for
your
advice,
counsel
and
ideas.
I,
look
forward
to
more
of
them.
A
Okay,
I'm
continuing
with
board
reports,
I'm
going
to
turn
things
over
to
Mr
keratonis
to
invest
to
introduce
some
guests
speaking
of
racial
Equity,
systemic
efforts
over
to
you,
sir,
the.
C
Second
part
in
our
continuous
quest
to
make
good
on
our
Equity
resolution,
and
you
know,
fill
it
with
with
meaningful
action.
C
This
is
a
report
from
the
Arlington
and
neighborhoods
program,
formerly
known
as
Erica's
neighborhood's
conservation
program,
and
this
is
a
work
on
this
this
commissioner,
the
the
governing
body
of
this
program
is
is
special
in
Arlington,
because
the
the
the
the
participants
there,
the
members
of
this
commission
are
delegates
of
of
neighborhoods.
So
it's
a
particularly
difficult
to
you
know.
Not
all
the
neighborhoods
are
are
the
same.
C
Not
all
neighborhoods
have
the
same
socio-economic
and
demographic
characteristics,
it's
very
easy
to
derail
from
a
notion
of
equity
equality
and
fair
representation,
sometimes,
and
definitely
in
fair,
fair
allotment
in
an
adjudication
of
funding
for
the
many
programs
that
have
been
improving
our
neighborhoods
with
public
participation
for
so
many
decades.
C
I'm,
particularly
proud
that
the
commission,
under
the
leadership
of
Kathy
reader
and
with
with
a
great
support
of
our
County
staff,
Mr
McIntosh,
thank
you
for
coming
tonight,
have
been
working
on
systematically
applying
the
equity
lands
to
the
program
and
I
welcome
them
to
report
about
their
work.
Today.
J
Thanks
techis
for
the
introduction
and
for
your
ongoing
support
of
the
Arlington
neighborhoods
program
and
on
behalf
of
arnac,
thank
all
of
you
for
your
support
in
allocating
the
additional
million
dollars
of
CIP
funding.
It's
given
us
a
jump
start
in
incorporating
Equity
considerations
into
our
process.
We
appreciate
that
today,
I'll
talk
about
the
second
bullet.
That's
shown
on
the
slide
about
how
we
are
identifying
Equity,
focused
considerations
and
using
them
to
guide
our
project
selection
next
slide.
J
Income
level
data
was
a
starting
point
for
understanding
which
Civic
associations
might
have
Equity
considerations
for
the
HUD
map
that
you
see
displayed.
Tim
McIntosh
has
worked
with
staff
to
have
the
civic
association,
boundaries
and
streets
overlaid
on
the
census,
tract
map
and
the
yellow
and
blue
areas
on
this.
Hud
map
show
areas
of
households
with
low
and
moderate
income
based
on
census
tract
data.
So
income
was
a
starting
point
for
looking
for
Equity
considerations
next
slide.
J
In
addition
to
the
HUD
map
information,
we
reviewed
the
equity
findings
from
the
2021
neighborhood
conservation
program
review.
The
review
suggested
two
factors
to
monitor
to
help
ensure
Equitable
project
distribution
going
forward.
One
factor
was
distribution
of
NC
projects
compared
to
bypoc
populations.
J
J
In
contrast,
the
areas
that
have
a
bipoc
population
lower
than
20
percent,
the
lightest
green
shades
on
the
map
have
about
16
percent
of
the
County's
total
population,
but
25
percent
of
the
total
NC
projects
so
going
forward.
We
will
include
percent
of
people
of
color
as
one
of
the
equity
consideration
factors
next
slide.
J
The
second
factor
from
the
2021
program
review
was
distribution
of
NC
projects
compared
to
the
healthy
places,
index
or
HPI
score,
which
includes
the
number
of
socioeconomic
indicators
on
the
shirt.
You
can
see
the
different
HPI
groups,
ranging
from
scores
of
highly
favorable
on
the
left
to
highly
unfavorable
second
from
the
right,
and
you
can
also
see
the
distribution
of
past
Decades
of
past
projects
by
decades.
So
each
decade
has
a
different
color
bar
across
the
hbi
scores,
so
for
areas
with
highly
unfavorable
scores.
The
second
from
the
right
group.
J
You
see
a
lower
number
of
NC
projects
compared
to
other
groups
for
all
three
decades:
significant
factors
that
affect
that
highly
unfavorable
score
include
higher
rates
of
households
without
a
college
degree,
higher
rates
of
poverty,
more
renters
than
homeowners
and
a
higher
proportion
of
households
with
limited
English
proficiency.
So
we
want
to
understand
which
areas
in
the
county
have
the
most
limited
resources.
So
we
can
include
the
relevant
socioeconomic
factors
as
Equity
considerations
going
forward
next
slide,
so
we're
using
a
recent
information
source
for
our
data,
the
census
tract
demographic
dashboard.
J
The
slide
shows
a
graphic
for
Arlington
County
as
a
whole.
The
dashboard
is
available
online
and
will
be
updated
every
year.
There
is
a
significant
amount
of
data
available,
race,
ethnicity,
age,
education,
levels,
English
proficiency
Etc.
So
although
this
is
census
tract
data,
we
can
select
a
civic
association
with
from
the
dashboard
and
generate
reports
for
the
census
tracts
that
are
most
closely
aligned
with
the
Civic
association's
boundaries.
It's
not
a
perfect
alignment,
but
it
helps
us
better
understand
our
neighborhood
populations.
J
To
recap,
our
Equity
considerations
approach
is
as
follows.
We
started
with
the
HUD
low
income
area
map
as
a
starting
point
and
we
reviewed
additional
Equity
considerations
using
that
census
tract
demographic
data
and
we
specifically
identified
percent
of
people
of
color
percent,
bachelor's
degree
percent
homeowners
and
renters
and
percent
limited
English
proficiency.
We
provided
all
that
data
to
our
our
neck
reps
and
we'll
also
consider
other
Equity
factors
that
are
based
on
a
reps
kind
of
first-hand
observation
or
knowledge
of
their
civic
association
next
slide.
J
So
our
actions
for
our
neck
members,
I'm,
focusing
on
the
first
two
arrows
here.
The
first
one
shows
that
reps
have
been
asked
to
work
with
their
civic
associations
to
identify
new.
Our
linked
neighborhood
program
needs
for
Equity
consideration
based
on
the
HUD
map
and
other
demographic
information.
So
projects
not
already
suggested
and,
as
the
second
Arrow
shows
reps,
have
also
been
asked
to
identify.
Equity
considerations
for
projects
that
are
already
in
our
queue
using
the
same
information
sources
next
slide.
J
So
in
summary,
here's
how
our
approach
will
influence
our
project
selection,
we'll
use
input
from
the
Reps
to
develop
an
equity
list,
both
newly
identified
projects
and
the
Legacy
projects
that
are
already
in
the
queue
to
start
off.
We
plan
to
select
at
least
one
qualified
Equity
list
project
for
each
funding
round,
and
it
will
take
some
time
before
the
newly
identified
projects
are
submitted
and
qualified.
In
the
meantime,
we'll
identify
Legacy
projects
that
have
Equity
impacts
and
include
this
as
a
consideration
when
we
recommend
projects
to
you
for
funding.
J
C
Thank
you
so
much.
This
is
an
amazing
body.
Work
I
think
that
it
will
continue.
There
is
a
lot
more
to
do.
I
wanted
to
open
that
to
all
of
you
to
my
colleagues
for
for
questions.
F
Thank
you
very
much
for
all
your
work
on
this,
both
of
you
and
it
returns
to
some
of
the
roots
as
I
understand
it
of
the
program
in
part
when
it
was
founded.
So
there's
plenty
of
things
to
do
so,
we
might
not
have
lengthy
conversation,
but
that
does
not
mean
we
don't
care
a
lot
about
it,
at
least
for
my
part,
thank
you.
A
Now
that
I
personally
have
chewed
up
a
lot
of
our
meeting
on
a
tight
timeline,
but
there
are
no
other
comments.
Let
me
say
thank
you.
I
really
appreciate
the
the
emphasis
on
data
I.
The
use
of
the
the
dashboard
tool
is
really
exciting.
A
I
know
there
is
so
much
Rich
analysis
there,
and
so
the
what
you
all
have
shown
us
about
the
opportunity
to
apply
that
and
service
of
programmatic
goals
is
really
cool
for
lack
of
a
better
adjective.
So
we
really
appreciate
the
work
in
that
regard.
I
think
we're
looking
to
see
looking
forward
to
seeing
more
of
it,
and
it's
been
really
nice
to
see
arneck
Embrace
that
and
Equity
is
so
core,
as
the
program
has
been
relaunched
and
really
reconceived
of
its
own
future.
So
thank
you
and
chair
reader.
A
C
A
C
Yes,
this
was
working
actually,
with
you
know,
communities
who
could
afford
to
participate
in
the
process
that
had
members
of
the
community
who
could
afford
to
go
to
the
meetings
who
could
afford
to
you
know
make
a
methodical
evaluation
of
the
state
of
their
sidewalks
or
of
the
lack
of
their
sidewalks
or
the
the
lack
of
public
lighting
and-
and
you
know,
a
a
very
long
list
of
neighborhood
needs,
and
you
know
socialize
that
and
bring
it
in
into
the
program
and
fight
for
funding
in
a
competitive
but
orderly
manner.
A
Trying
to
take
what's
best
about
those
ideas
from
the
1970s
right,
16,
further
back
right,
all
right!
Well,
thank
you
both
so
much
and
thank
you
for
making
the
time
to
be
with
us
this
evening,
all
right,
Ms,
Garvey
I
know
we
had
a
presentation
about
friends
of
urban
agriculture.
E
Yeah
and
I'm
going
to
be
really
quick,
because
I
realize
we're
running
a
little
behind
time,
because
we've
got
a
lot
going
going
on,
but
I
just
wanted
to
report.
So
I
think
this
is
the
second
maybe
third
year
that
Matt
and
I
have
been
together
at
this
annual
meeting
for
fua.
It's
always
fun
and
I
always
think
I
need
to
share
this.
For
one
I
mean
just
look
at
the
picture
right:
it
just
cheers
you
up
and
it's
really
amazing
what
they
are
doing.
It
does
feed
in
and
it's
got
the
puns.
E
I
really
am
not
making
any
of
these
puns
on
purpose.
It
feeds
into
the
work
I'm
doing
with
the
farm
committee
on
Cog
next
slide.
Please
and
I'll
just
go
over
the
the
annual
meeting.
They
go
over
a
number
of
the
accomplishments
that
they've
made.
Are
we
able
to
change
this
slide?
Yeah?
That's
okay,
so
they're
doing
a
lot
of
work
with
the
plot
against
hunger,
I
think
during
the
pandemic
that
got
turned
over
to
fua
and
it's
amazing
what
they're
doing
14
000
pounds
of
which
I
think
is
something
like
seven
tons.
E
If
I
remember
how
that
all
works
out,
it's
just
amazing
the
amount
of
food
they
get
and
and
and
and
donate
it's
all
volunteer,
I
think
the
group
is
going
to
be
working
on
getting
a
little,
maybe
having
some
people
that
aren't
volunteer,
but
that's
that's
for
the
future.
E
Look
at
all
the
food
pilot
pantries
that
they
help
with,
and
then
this
is
the
the
plot
committee.
There
is
a
group
of
Mighty
folks.
It's
pretty
amazing
next
slide,
please
it's
really
interesting
where
the
different
or
places
that
they
that
they
work-
and
you
know
they've
got
the
kickoff
at
the
Central
Library.
Of
course,
there's
Rock
Spring
there's
what
they
call
hug,
which
is
down
at
the
in
the
National
landing
area
and
they
coordinate
donations
with
these
other
groups.
E
And
it's
it's
really
a
force,
multiple
supplier
again
great
pictures.
Next
next
slide.
Please
I'm
really
struck
by
that
all
the
gardens
they
do
so
residential,
faith-based
school
public
gardens
I
mean
it's
like
anywhere.
E
They
can
kind
of
find
ground
they
grow,
which
is
great
and
I,
really
like
all
of
the
work
that
can
be
done,
and
this
is
just
a
little
if
anybody
is
watching
I
know
we
have
millions
of
people
watching
this
show,
but
for
those
that
are
in
live
in
Arlington,
there
are
all
kinds
of
things
you
can
do,
they're
easy
Gleaners
and
you
can
just
do
some
washing
some
Bean
strippers.
You
can
help
out
with
a
talk
and
it
does
not
take
long.
E
If
you
can
change
this
slide,
one
more
time,
sorry,
yeah
and
so
I
just
want
to
so,
and
one
of
the
fun
things
they
do
so
this
is
this
is
Audrey
Morris
give
is,
is
giving
us
at
the
podium
over
there
giving
direction,
giving
her
talk
and
going
over
things
and
the
golden
radish
award
went
to
sue
Howe.
The
golden
radish
Awards
started
out
as
just
being
a
funny
thing.
E
It
still
is
kind
of
a
funny
thing,
but
it's
becoming
a
thing
and
it's
just
a
lot
of
fun
and
I
just
thought
this
sort
of
fit
in
with
holiday
cheer
and,
if
you're,
starting
to
feel
a
little
gloomy
start
thinking
about
growing
things
in
ways
you
might
want
to
chip
in
and
help
with
our
fluid
group,
because
they're
doing
a
lot
and
I
think
it
does
actually
support
our
sustainability
efforts
and
over
time
becomes
increasingly
valuable
to
the
community.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
so
much
appreciate
that
Miss
Garvey
all
right
moving
right
along
a
distinguished
arlingtonian
and
Regional
leader
to
recognize
under
our
regional
reports,
Mr
Dorsey.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I'll,
provide
a
brief
report
before
I
get
to
that
recognition.
Just
to
it's
all
ties
together
this
year.
As
you
all
know,
I
had
the
privilege
of
serving
as
the
chair
of
the
car
board
of
directors
and
as
that
year
draws
to
a
close
I
want
to
update
you
on
what
I
perceive
to
be
the
progress
to
achieved
during
this
year.
B
That
I
want
to
highlight.
First
of
all,
just
to
set
the
stage
we
look
at
this
up.
This
decade
that
we're
in
up
until
23
30
is
one
of
projected
growth
about
six
hundred
thousand
population,
as
well
as
four
hundred
thousand
jobs,
so
a
dynamic
period
for
this
region
and,
as
we
think
about
the
areas
of
priority
that
we
wanted
to
address
housing,
climate
and
sustainability,
transportation
and
Mobility
as
well
as
Equity.
B
There
is
some
some
efforts
in
these
areas
that
I'd
like
to
highlight
at
this
moment
in
housing
which
are
tied
to
the
housing
targets
that
we
adopted
in
2019.
There
has
been
considerable
efforts
by
our
regional
Partners
in
moving
forward
with
dramatic
changes
to
their
housing
policies.
You
know
the
city
of
Alexandria
has
identified
a
Target
consistent
with
the
Cog
targets
for
both
overall
Supply,
as
well
as
focusing
most
of
those
additional
units
at
affordable
levels.
Consistent
with
the
targets,
the
District
of
Columbia.
B
So
there's
been
considerable
work
in
housing
as
it
relates
to
climate.
Some
great
news
this
year,
so
in
Cog
Set
goals
for
2020
and
2050
as
it
relates
to
greenhouse
gas
emissions
reductions.
The
2020
goal
was
to
see
a
20
reduction
in
ghg
emissions
from
the
2005
Baseline
level,
and
the
2050
goal
was
to
see
an
80
reduction.
Well,
first,
we
we
thought
that
there
was
too
big
of
a
period
of
time
between
2020
and
2050,
where,
if
you're
not
making
progress,
you
could
fall
behind.
B
B
We
wanted
a
20
reduction
and
we
achieved
a
24
reduction,
and
that
gives
us
great
confidence
that
moving
forward,
even
though
the
2030
goal
is
Big,
we've
got
some
considerable
momentum
to
to
to
get
there
and
I'll
just
note
that
to
sort
of
foreshadow
what
I'm
going
to
do
a
little
bit
later,
with
the
recognition
of
Chuck
Bean
when
Chuck
Bean
came
to
Cog
in
December
of
2012.,
more
than
one
out
of
every
10
days
in
this
region,
was
an
unhealthy
air
quality
day.
B
There
was
a
desire
to
make
sure
that
the
considerable
investments
in
transit
were
integrated
with
all
of
our
goals,
to
ensure
housing
in
the
right
place
and
that
it
could
lead
to
a
reduction
in
vehicle
miles.
Traveled
and
the
overall
emissions
reduction
strategy
and
there's
been
great
work
by
Partners,
like
wamada,
with
their
joint
development
strategic
plan
to
make
sure
that
we're
optimizing.
Those
Transit
areas
to
achieve
these
interrelated
sets
of
goals.
B
And
so
this
year
was
a
revealing
time
where
we
were
able
to
take
stock
of
the
big
goals
that
we've
made
chart
their
progress
and
see.
Some
clear
demonstrated
points
of
success
and
I'd
like
to
say
that,
as
chair
of
the
board,
that
that
was
all
me,
I
would
love
to
say
that,
but
that
would
be
certainly
not
at
all.
True.
The
result
is
the
indefatigable
work
of
the
Cog
staff,
who
takes
their
cues
and
their
vision
from
their
leader,
and
it's
with
that.
B
That
I
would
like
to
recognize
the
service
of
that
leader,
who
threw
a
wrench
in
my
year
as
chair
by
deciding
that
he
wanted
to
set
the
stage
for
his
eventual
departure
and
in
February
of
this
year,
Chuck
Bean
is
going
to
depart
Cog
as
its
executive
director
with
an
incredible
record
of
progress
and
accomplishment
during
his
tenure.
While
he
would
never
say
this
about
himself,
I
can
say
it
about
him.
While
he's
got
an
incredibly
talented
team
around
him,
there
needs
to
be
someone
who
provides
the
direction
to
identify.
B
What
are
the
areas
of
work
that
we
need
to
be
engaged
in
someone
who
has
the
skill
to
bring
the
region
together
to
embrace
what,
at
times
our
goals
that
may
make
them
uncomfortable
and
to
ensure
that
we
sustain
in
seeing
them
through
and
Chuck
has
provided
that
leadership
that
direction?
That
motivation
and
that
inspiration?
And
so
at
this
point,
I
would
like
for
our
board
to
formally
recognize
Chuck
bean
and
I'll
read
a
few
of
the
recitals
that
inform
this
recognition.
B
Use
this
key
concept
to
inform
future
planning
and
invest
and
whereas
Mr
Bean
is
concluding.
His
Service
as
executive
director
of
COG,
with
the
development
of
region
United.
The
Metropolitan
planning
framework
for
20.30,
which
communicates
interconnected
housing,
climate,
Transit
and
Equity
priorities
for
the
next
decade.
B
Now,
therefore,
Katie
Crystal,
chair
of
the
Arlington
County
Board,
does
hereby
recognize
on
this
20th
day
of
December
2022
Mr
Chuck
Bean
for
his
hard
work
and
unceasing
dedication
to
bolstering
the
Metropolitan
Washington
Council
of
governments
and
working
to
realize
our
regional
vision
of
a
more
prosperous,
accessible,
livable,
Equitable
and
sustainable
Metropolitan
Washington.
We
are
very
pleased
to
have
an
arlingtonian
and
the
person
being
so
recognized
here
with
us
this
afternoon.
Thank
you
very
much
chuck.
B
K
B
L
It's
an
honor
to
be
with
you
all
today
and
I
really
appreciate
the
the
recognition
from
the
staff
and
from
the
board
and
be
at
the
same
day
where
allies
and
burgers
recognized
and
where
your
focus
is
on
racial
Equity,
I
couldn't
ask
for
a
better
day
or
a
better
better
venue
from
a
staff
perspective.
You
know:
I
experienced
the
Excellence
excellent
work
of
your
staff.
Just
last
week,
Samia
sent
me
a
awesome
email.
One
of
my
emerging
passions
is
about
trying
to
understand
the
history
of
Native
Americans
in
this
region.
L
Not
much
is
known,
but
from
what
I
can
see
me
and
Arlington
are
advancing
more
than
any
other
jurisdiction
to
try
to
understand
that
my
friend
Briana
Helfer,
who
took
the
photo
and
awesome
work
on
census
and
housing
and
messaging
on
vaccines.
L
Your
County
Manager
always
have
my
back
with
all
the
other
city
and
county
managers
of
the
region,
whether
it
was
wonky
stuff
like
trying
to
save
Arlington
money
through
Cooperative,
purchasing
at
Cog
or
heady
stuff
like
deciding
on
homeland
security
and
collaboration,
and
if
I
could
use
for
their
first
name
today,
because
I
only
got
a
month
left
Matt!
Congratulations!
On
on
your
re-election,
your
earnestness,
your
studentness,
your
curiosity,
Libby,
the
winner
of
the
skull
award
this
year,
Hog's
highest
honor.
L
K
L
Your
your
principal,
your
principled,
miss
your
pragmatic
pragmatism
and
your
and
your
guts
and
talk
as
staff
talk
about
you
as
the
rising
star
within
Cog,
chaired
mwack
this
last
year
and
going
on
to
chair
cepsi,
our
climate,
energy
and
environment
policy
committee
and,
let's
see,
am
I
missing
any
County
Board
member,
so
Christian
Christian
has
been
on
the
Cog
executive
board
executive
committee
of
the
board
through
through
it
all
so,
starting
in
2019
and
Christian
at
the
table
with
the
housing
targets.
L
Maybe
a
little
bit
more
of
this
a
little
bit
more
of
that,
so
advancing
advancing
the
dialogue
and
in
2020
we
did
not
have
that
climate
goal
for
20
30..
We
need
to.
We
need
to
to
set
that
that
was
set
on
2021
Equity
emphasis
area,
so
glad
with
my
heart
that
this
analysis
at
the
census
tract
level
and
then
the
high
capacity
transit
station
areas,
225
places
just
10
percent
of
the
Region's
land
mass
55
of
all
future
job
growth.
L
Just
in
those
places,
we
need
to
optimize
on
land
mass
but
even
more
importantly,
connect
these
Equity
emphasis
areas.
These
census
tracts
with
these
these
high
opportunities.
So
this
is
how
it
all
all
goes
together,
so
I'm
going
to
cherish,
cherish
this
cherish
this
memory,
I
think
even
more
than
that
has
been
the
honor
a
pleasure
to
have
worked
with
all
of
you
and
your
predecessors
on
the
board
for
these
last
10
years.
So
chair
Crystal.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
You
see
I'm
so
glad
we
had
that
opportunity
to
recognize
an
arlingtonian
who
has
truly
distinguished
himself
in
the
region.
We
are
very
grateful
for
your
leadership
indeed,
and
for
yours
Mr
outgoing
chair
of
the
Council
of
governments.
Hopefully
you
won't
get
too
unused
to
being
without
that
title
for
for
too
long
all
right.
Thank
you
for
those
who
are
joining
us
for
our
colleagues
swearing
in
we're
very
excited
about
that.
A
In
15
minutes
you
are
going
to
get
a
treat
which
is,
in
the
meantime,
a
real
insight
into
the
workings
of
government.
We
have
a
report
on
the
audit
from
the
county
manager,
so
we'll
do
that
in
the
balance
of
our
15
minutes
prior
to
the
swearing
and
turning
things
over
to
you,
Mr
County
Manager.
Thank.
N
You,
madam
chair
I'm,
we're
going
to
have
the
presentation
of
the
annual
comprehensive
financial
report
I'm
going
to
ask
Rahul
Bala
who's,
our
County
comptroller,
who
appears
once
a
year
in
the
boardroom.
It's
a
festive
occasion
along
with
Karen
Spence
is
the
assistant
comptroller
and
you
all
know,
Maria
Meredith
and
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Raul
to
do
more
introductions
of
who
is
joining
him
from
our
external
auditor,
sovereign.
O
Welcome
thank
you.
Mr
manager
good
afternoon,
ladies
and
gentlemen
and
members
of
the
board
on
behalf
of
the
accounting
team
in
the
department
of
management
and
finance.
I
am
pleased
to
present
the
financial
year
2022
annual,
comprehensive
financial
report
or
aqua.
O
The
county
has
received
an
unqualified
or
clean
audit
opinion
this
year
as
well.
However,
there
was
an
emphasis
of
matter
because
the
beginning
net
position
of
government,
like
activities
was
restated,
also
included
in
the
aqua,
is
the
audit
report
in
sifa
and
the
report
to
Virginia's
auditor
of
Public
Accounts.
O
O
K
P
Red
light
usually
means
no
green
one
for
go
this
time
of
year.
Good
point
Thank
you
for
having
me
tonight,
I'm
I'm,
not
gonna,
be
cheating
on
you.
I
had
the
same
presentation
here.
I've
had
some
very
severe
cataract
issues
and
that's
a
little
blurry,
but
I'll
be
brief,
because
you
said
you
have
15
minutes
before
you
was
swearing
in
regardless
of
the
type
of
entity.
P
The
auto
standards
say:
I
have
to
communicate
certain
things
to
you
at
the
end
of
and
on
it,
and
these
are
the
same
items
that
would
be
for
Enron
or
a
not-for-profit
hospital
or
anybody
else,
and
so
some
of
these
are
not
going
to
be
relevant
to
you
and
I'll,
make
sure
I
make
those
apparent
to
you,
but
the
standards
say
rob
you
can't
just
ignore
them
and
not
even
tell
them
positively
in
front
of
them
that
they
don't
relate,
because
they
don't
want
you
thinking
that
if
I
go
say
anything
about
it,
that
it
was
not
applicable
so
I'm
on
the
next
slide.
P
Please
not
used
to
having
help
this
is
great.
I
was
going
to
turn
my
slides.
For
me,
one
of
the
things
I'd
require
to
give
you
a
brief
overview
of
who
our
engagement
team
is
I'm.
The
partner
in
charge
of
all
services
to
the
county
I
have
on
every
one
of
my
job.
P
I
have
a
second
reviewer
his
her
job
in
this
case
is
it
his
is
required
to
review
our
our
procedures,
our
reports
and
so
forth
to
make
sure
they
meet
a
quality
scenario
to
make
sure
that
they
kind
of
stay
above
The
Fray
keep
their
mind
up
in
the
quality
area
instead
of
getting
down
into
the
trenches
where
we
are
doing
the
day-to-day
audit
work.
P
Stephen
sheer
was
my
manager
and
he
was
supportive,
I'm,
a
senior
manager,
my
support
by
Maureen
developes
and
also
Lauren
Romer,
as
my
senior
the
high-level
areas
of
required
Community
next
next
slide.
Please
high
level
areas
of
required.
Communications
are
listed
here.
I'm
gonna
I'm
not
going
to
list
it
out
to
you
and
read
it
out
to
you.
We're
gonna
we're
gonna
go
right
into
the
first
one,
which
is
results
of
the
auto,
which
is
what
you
want
to
hear.
P
As
Mr
Rahul
said,
we
are
required
to
audit,
in
accordance
with
various
standards,
generally
accepted
holiday
standards,
government
audience
standards
and
so
forth
and
required
to
give
you
our
impression
or
our
opinion,
of
whether
the
statements
are
fairly
presented
in
all
material
respects
and
that's
what
we
have
done.
It's
actually
called
unmodified
nowadays
unqualified
was
the
old
term.
P
The
world
went
all
kind
of
global
and
we
decided
to
take
on
what
the
terminology
was
overseas
in
Europe
and
so
forth
and
Colorado
modified.
It
still
means
the
same
thing:
clean
opinion.
It's
what
you
want
to
take
home.
Put
in
your
refrigerator,
like
you
did
back
in
grade
school,
we
also
had
under
the
government
audience
we
had
one
matter
which
I
mentioned
he
mentioned
earlier
and
I'm
going
to
mention
on
slide
six
that
had
that
was
required
to
be
disclosed
regards
to
controls
in
accordance
with
government
auditing
standards.
P
I
make
next
slide,
please
I'm.
Sorry
I
keep
forgetting
you're
over
there.
Next
slide
again.
I
apologize,
I
should
have
mentioned
earlier.
I
make
this
slide
deck
usable,
hopefully
so
that
somebody
who's
not
here,
can
read
it
and
understand
so
I'm
not
going
to
read
every
bullet
to
you.
You
don't
want
to
have
me
do
that
to
you,
but
it
also
allows
you
to
have
a
death
and
knowledge
of
what
we
were
talking
about
here,
and
this
is
a
perfect
example.
P
This
is
just
a
slide
that
gives
you
the
the
pure
definition
out
of
the
audit
standards
of
what
controls
we're
required
to
do,
what
a
deficiency
is
and
so
forth
and
how
we
consider
internal
controls
as
we're
as
we're
testing
our
and
Performing
our
testings
on
the
financial
statements
and
control
in
in
compliance
areas.
Next
slide,
please!
P
So,
with
regards
to
government
auditing
standards,
we
reported
one
material
weakness
related
to
the
restatement
of
tax
revenues
that
were
recorded
in
the
current
well
last
year.
We
noted
in
the
court
recorded
this
year,
so
we
fixed
that,
but
you
don't
fix
it
just
in
the
current
year.
You
fix
it
by
going
back
one
year
because
that's
the
last
that's
the
last
period
That's
presented
in
the
financial
units,
so
that
was
related
to
the
fact
that
at
the
end
of
the
last
year,
21
you
had
recorded
at
the
government-wide
level,
not
not
general
fund.
P
Not
not
your
key
budget
error,
your
key
budget,
the
actual
area
that
you
that
you
plan
from,
but
they
had
recorded
the
October
payments
of
Revenue
as
June
30th
21
revenue
and
that
under
generally
accepted
auditing
standards
is
not
required,
not
allowed.
You
need
to
record
that
number,
not
as
Revenue,
but
it's
what
we
call
different
info
base.
It's
gonna
become
Revenue
eventually,
but
at
that
point
in
time
it
wasn't
Revenue.
P
Yet
you
started
in
the
accounts
receivable
for
it,
because
you
had
a
legally
enforceable
right
to
to
Bill
that
at
that
time
in
the
future,
but
it
wasn't
Revenue
yet,
and
so
what
that,
what
this
adjustment
did
is
basically
catch
you
up
to
where
you
needed
to
be
having
you
always
had
two.
You
always
had
two
parts
of
Revenue
in
your
in
your
statements.
This
gets
that
third
part
out.
That
was
recorded,
so
that
was
what
that
was
about.
We
had
no
significant
deficiencies,
which
is
the
other
type
of
efficiency.
P
You
could
have
that's
not
as
material
as
material
weakness,
but
it
would
be
something
that
we
thought
was
important
enough
for
you
to
know
about,
and
there
was
no
city
of
deficiency.
So
that's
very
positive
next
slide,
please
so
because
the
first
slide
talked
about
the
recording
of
the
activities
you
had
one
corrected
misstatement
and
that
was
again
to
reduce
the
June
30th
01
21
net
position
by
that
amount
of
Revenue
that
was
recorded
last
year.
P
That
should
have
been
recorded
this
year,
and
that's
what
we're
saying
here
with
regards
to
anything
else
that
we
thought
you
should
record
that
wasn't
recorded
because
of
the
immateriality
or
whatever
reasons
we
had.
No
such
misstatements
and
I
should
say
this
terminology
throughout
these
standards
also
are
kind
of
ominous
a
couple
of
slidesmere
you're
going
to
see
the
word
disagreement,
you're,
going
to
see
the
words
hard
to
deal
with
difficulties
and
so
forth.
These
are
border
plate,
phraseologies
that
the
standards
want
us
all
to
use.
P
It's
not
what
we're
making
up
on
our
own
as
we
talk
to
different
clients
and
so
forth.
Next
slide,
please
next
four
slides
we're
going
to
talk
about
these.
These
four
areas
here
and
they're
required
and
they're
all
applicable
to
you
in
various
various
levels
of
of
importance,
depending
on
the
entity.
Next
slide,
please,
oh,
wait.
I
apologize,
so
I
want
to
stop
right
there
for
one.
P
Second,
this
is
a
key
slide
also
because
it
does
talk
about
the
fact
that
under
generally
Southern
counting
principles,
you
don't
have
to
change
your
policies
this
year,
and
that
was
policy
for
how
you
record
leases,
and
so
just
like
everybody
else
in
the
gas
we're
called
the
gasby
world,
the
government
Accounting
Standards
Board
world
yeah.
They
record
material
releases
for
the
first
time
on
your
books.
P
We're
not
aware
of
any
other
policy
changes.
Aside
from
what
we
just
talked
about
for
the
for
the
correction
of
the
tax
recording
and
I'm
required
to
let
you
know
that
as
part
of
the
audit
standards
next
slide,
please
for
all
entities
again,
depending
on
the
breadth
and
size
and
scope
and
so
forth,
we're
required
as
an
auditor
to
understand
the
relative
parties.
You
have
now
a
lot
of
times.
This
is
much
more
relevant
from
a
from
an
audit
perspective
in
the
non-government
arena.
P
You
have
a
lot
of
entities
that
you
relate
to,
but
you
don't
generally
have
a
lot
of
transactional
activities
that
you
might
have
in
the
corporate
world,
as
you
can
imagine
that,
for
those
who
are
following
blank
find
the
cryptocurrencies
his
other
related
party,
Alameda
research
basically
took
down
his
own
whole
firm,
bankrupted
that
one
and
impacted
the
whole
wide
spectrum
of
the
of
the
economy
in
that
particular
sector.
That
related
party
was
not
known,
was
not
disclosed
properly
and
any
filings
and
so
forth.
P
So
that
particular
case
people
weren't
aware
to
make
their
own
judgments
on
whether
or
not
they
should
invest
in
those
currencies.
Not
knowing
the
later
parties
existed,
so
we're
required
to
look
for
related
Parts,
where
you
have
significant
transactions
that
maybe
don't
make
sense
that
don't
have
business
purpose.
I
didn't
find
any
of
those
again
this
one,
this
first
area,
where
I'm
going
to
tell
you
this
is
very
relevant
to
to
outside
government
entities.
P
But
it
didn't
really
impact
me
much
here,
because
you're
you're
related
parties
are
pretty
much
on
the
up
and
up
pretty
much
known
throughout
a
region
you're
generally
in
with
multiples
Fairfax
allowed
and
so
forth
of
the
world
do
not
have
any
any
that
are
for
a
non-business
purpose
and
we
found
no
non-compliance
related
related
parties
with
laws
and
regulations
next
slide.
Please.
P
Again,
this
is
relevant
a
significant
unusual
transactions
generally
not
overly
relevant
to
a
government
because
you
might
get
into
significant,
but
generally
Is,
Not
Unusual,
maybe
significant
to
you,
could
be
a
bond,
relate
a
bond
refunding
and
so
forth.
P
But
that's
not
unusual
I'm
required
to
let
you
know
that
if
we
had
found
unusual
transactions
that
seem
to
be
outside
the
normal
course
of
how
you
operate
or
how
you
should
operate
as
a
public
government,
then
I'd
have
to
tell
you
that,
but
here
again,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
this
is
one
that
has
I
did
not
have
any
City
or
unusual
transactions.
I
noted
during
our
testing
to
make
you
aware
of.
P
Unless
you're
running
the
most
simplistic
entity-
I'm
sorry
next
next
slide,
I'm
just
not
used
to
having
so
much
support
are
prevalent
in
every
financial
statements
unless
you're
on
a
pure
Cash
basis.
Statements
where
you
have
no,
not
you
have
nothing
to
record,
except
for
what
caches
in
the
bank
and
what
check
is
outstanding.
So
we're
required
look
at
estimates
to
make
sure
they
make
sense
to
make
sure
that
you
are
applying
them
consistently.
P
If
you're,
not
in
a
public,
not
in
a
government
Arena
but
you're
in
a
public,
Venture
Arena,
you
can
imagine
how
people
might
want
to
play
with
estimates
to
make
their
tax
exposure
go
one
way
or
the
other
make
their
net
income
go,
enter
there,
their
EPs
and
so
forth,
to
attract
new
venture
capital
and
so
forth.
So
we
look
at
your
estimates.
Each
year
the
key
ones
are
listed
there,
pension
opeb,
Expo
expenses
and
liabilities,
and
so
forth.
The
fair
value
of
Investments
and
such
the
allowance
for
doubtful
accounts.
P
How
much
of
a
tax
revenue
are
you
going
to
require?
Are
you
going
to
ultimately
receive
next
year's
out
into
out
into
the
Levee?
Has
already
been
LED,
we
look
at
the
significance.
We
look
to
make
sure
that
you
are
not
appearing
to
be
an
outlier
if
you
were
having
12
on
your
Investments,
everybody
else
in
the
world's
at
six
I'd
have
to
come
here
and
say
that
we
need
to
understand
why
this
is
true.
Maybe
it
is
maybe
you
got
maybe
you
bought
in
on
the
lowest
bottom
of
the
biggest
boom.
P
That's
going
that's
going
forward,
but
I'm
required
to
let
you
know
that
we
didn't
see
anything
that
made
us
think
that
you've
you've
been
changing
your
estimates
on
properly
that
they
are
not
consistent
with
what
we
would
expect
from
our
the
arena.
The
industry
we
deal
with
and
your
peers
and
so
forth.
Again.
P
The
standards
require
me
to
let
you
know
that,
so
that
if
I
go
silent
on
you're,
not
going
to
just
presumed
that
everything
was
okay
and
then
last
of
our
four
items
here,
the
financial
image
disclosures
are
just
just
a
statement.
Their
disclosures
are
neutral,
they're,
consistent,
they're,
clear
they're,
especially
they're,
consistent
to
the
extent
you
had
new.
Yes,
some
new
disclosures
this
year
because
of
leases,
but
those
are
consistent
with
what
the
General
accepted
accounting
principles
are
and
what
your
peers
have
presented
in
their
financial
statements.
Next
slide,
please.
P
We,
an
auditor,
performs
an
audit,
that's
defined.
There
are
other
procedures
we
may
perform
for
an
entity
that
are
defined
also,
and
one
is
called
not
a
test
just
what
does
that
mean
Rob?
Well,
there
are
things
where
we
can
help
an
entity
that
we
don't
give
an
opinion
on
that
we
just
help
them
kind
of
product
better
and
some
some
answers
get
over
them
may
help
them
with
their
Finance
statements.
P
In
this
particular
case,
I
need
to
make
you
aware
that
we
do
have
one
not
a
test
service.
We
do
for
you,
it's
all
it's
required
by
the
federal
government.
So
it's
not
something
the
county
is
asking
for
because
they
need
help.
It's
just
required
that
the
federal
information
that
was
mentioned
with
deceive
and
so
forth
that
gets
upputted
to
a
federal
website.
P
Everybody
in
the
world,
everybody
in
the
nation
has
to
do
that.
I'm
required
to
go
in
and
say
that
information
makes
sense
compared
to
the
issued
report.
I
issue.
They
did
the
same
thing
on
the
on
the
county
side.
We
both
go
and
we
click
I,
think
I
click,
five
box
I'm
not
sure
how
many
box
they
have
on
their
side,
but
once
we
click
them
all.
P
The
feds
have
a
warm
comfort,
warm
cozy
feeling
this
time
of
year
that
the
numbers
make
sense
and
that
they
are
at
least
grounded
in
some
kind
of
real
support.
The
issued
financially
the
issued
a
federal
compliance
work
and
so
forth.
So
we
do
that.
It's
very
simple
and
it's
I
have
to
make
you
aware
that
we
do
that
because
it's
something
that's
not
an
audit
related
step.
A
P
Had
a
lot
of
confusion
about
it,
I
tend
to
talk:
I
apologize,
okay,
if
I
sum
up
it's
a
couple
things
out
of
these
next
four
slides,
okay
and
some
of
them
are
just
dead
slides
at
the
end.
You
don't
have
to
worry
about
right
here
on
the
slide,
13.
Independence,
I'm,
recording,
let
you
know
that
I'm
not
aware
of
anything.
Anybody
in
my
firm
any
of
my
employees.
P
Any
relationships
we
have
but
outside
vendors
that
may
relate
to
your
firm
would
cause
us
and
not
be
independent,
not
only
in
reality
but
in
appearance,
because
that's
key,
you
have
to
be
both
in
appearance
and
in
reality,
if
my
wife
was
your
controller,
I
wouldn't
be
in
reality.
If
my
wife
was
the
controller
of
some
related
entity,
you
deal
with
I
would
be
okay,
so
pick
out
the
big
ones.
P
Slide
15.
The
last
two:
the
last
item
of
the
purple
item
I'm
not
required
to
go
hunting
for
fraud.
Unless
you
call
me
and
say
rob
you
got
some
going
on,
we
got
we
got.
We
need
some
extra
help
to
go,
find
his
truck
I'm
required
to
keep
my
mind
open.
We
call
Professional
skepticism,
and
so
a
lot
of
people
think
Auditors
are
they're.
Part
of
their
job
is
to
go,
find
fraud
find
what's
in
there
find
what's?
No,
that's
not
true,
but
I'm
required
to
be
skeptical.
P
If
I've
given
a
some
analyzes
of
variances
and
they
don't
quite
make
sense
of
reality,
what
I've
seen
in
other
parts
of
the
engagement
I
might
need
to
skip
check
that
out
some
more
if
I
begin
some
in.
If
it's
trouble
for
me
to
get
invoices
or
the
invoices
seem
to
always
be
rounded
numbers
that
always
have
the
last
month
of
the
day
date
of
the
month,
and
so
something
that
could
be
something
aside
of
maybe
some
forgery,
some
fraudulent
activity
I'm
required
to
keep
it
Skeptics
of
that
and
look
into
it.
P
So
I
found
nothing
of
that
here.
I
always
say
this
and
then
everybody's
like:
what's
going?
What
do
you
what'd?
You
find
I
found
none
of
that
here,
but
I'm
required
to
let
you
know
that
I
did
not
and
that
I
am
not
required
to
go
hunting
for
it,
but
I
everything
we
did.
We
saw
nothing
that
gave
us
any
indication
that
you
had
any
kind
of
activities
along
those
lines.
The
rest
of
the
slides
are
what's
already
in
your
financial
statement,
reports
16-17
or
just
absurds
18s.
P
A
Fantastic
Mr
Churchman.
Thank
you
so
much
for
for
delivering
on
those
final
pieces
for
us,
Mr
manager.
Is
that
a
good
stopping
point
I
know
that
we've
got
a
couple
of
other
items
for
posts
swearing
in
if
that's
right.
Okay,
yes,.
N
B
Madam
chair
I
just
wanted
to
say
that,
given
the
hour,
I
want
to
remind
colleagues
that
we
do
have
an
audit
committee
where,
on
an
annual
basis,
we
invite
Mr
Churchman
in
to
go
into
a
deep
detailed
dive
into
this.
So
I
would
be
happy
to
take
any
questions
that
you
all
have
as
a
result
of
the
presentation
this
evening
and
bring
those
to
that
meeting
or
in
fact
invite
you
to
come.
Should
you
so
desire
I.
A
Excellent
point:
we
are,
of
course,
deeply
interested
in
it,
and
Mr
Churchman
appreciate
your
partnership,
as
well
as
the
leadership
from
our
comptrollers
and
Department
of
management
Finance.
So
we
may
well
Avail
ourselves
of
the
audit
committee's
offer.
Thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us,
I
am
going
to
now
propose
that
we
go
ahead
and
recess
for
that.
4
30
timeline,
because
I
know
that
the
team
needs
just
a
minute
to
set
up,
but
we
will
take
advantage
of
Mr
dorsey's
offer
for
certain
know
to
follow
up
on
further
questions.
A
C
Q
C
C
Good
evening,
everybody
thank
you
so
much
that
for
your
patience.
First
of
all,
you
know
one
of
the
jobs
of
your
Arlington
County
Board
is
to
actually
pay
attention
to
the
finances
of
the
country
and
receive
the
very
lengthy
and
substantial
Financial
end-of-year
Financial
reports.
So
this
is
not
a
a
minor
issue.
This
was
the
the
part
that
we
kind
of
expected
to
to
hear
about
later
this
evening,
and
it
came,
you
know
a
little
bit
earlier
than
that.
C
So
thank
you
so
much
for
indulging
with
us,
but
it
also
gives
you
an
a
brief
Insight
of
you
know
what
the
job
is
about
among
many
many
other
things.
So
it's
wonderful
to
welcome
you
tonight
this
evening
to
this
meeting
room
of
the
are
your
your
Arlington
County
Board,
your
local
government
in
this
very,
very
special
celebration.
It's
a
distinct
honor
for
me
and
a
privilege
to
have
the
role
of
the
MC.
C
C
I
also
want
to
recognize
all
elected
and
former
elected
officials
and
constitutional
officers.
Members
of
the
Arlington
County
delegation,
Senator
Barbara
favala,
is
here
and
I'm
sure
that
other
members
are
watching
from
from
where
they
are
working
right
now.
C
I
also
wanted
to
to
recognize
the
Arlington
County
cleric
and
County
Board
staff,
who
are
with
us
and
the
clergy
of
the
Court,
as
it
was
under
elected
officials
and
our
County
manager
and
the
County's
executive
leadership,
including
the
leadership
of
the
different
departments
and
all,
and
very
especially,
all
Arlington
County
staff
who
are
watching.
C
Indeed,
thank
you
all
for
being
here
this
evening,
and
indeed
every
day
with
us
for,
for
it
literally
takes
a
village
and
then
some
for
being
Arlington
for
being
the
forward-thinking,
optimistic,
Progressive
Community.
We
are
where
every
individual
is
important
as
our
mission
States,
and
we
take
that
extremely
seriously.
Every
day
before
the
presentation
of
the
colors.
Allow
me
to
say
a
few
words
about
Matt
brief.
C
You
campaigned
as
a
progressive
engaged
and
ready
here.
I
have
still
your
campaign
lit
three
very
positive
adjectives,
say
the
three
attributes,
all
of
which
are
100
percent
you
and
150
and
more
true.
C
But
according
to
my
humble
opinion,
there
is
an
attribute
missing
and
the
missing
attribute
is
caring.
Since
I
have
gone
into
Nomads,
this
is
quite
a
while
ago.
He
cared.
C
He
cared
for
housing,
for
housing,
affordability
for
housing,
quality
for
working
for
people's
for
working
people's
rights
and
livable
wages
for
combating
Hunger,
for
fun,
funding
our
schools
and
supporting
their
work
for
supporting
criminal
justice
and
law
enforcement
reform
for
making
sure
that
our
lincolntonians
made
it
through
this
pandemic
in
the
best
possible
physical
and
mental
health
and
making
sure
that
as
a
community,
we
are
ready
for
the
greatest
challenge
of
our
and
future
Generations,
which
is
the
climate
emergency.
And
so
many
more
Matt
was
always
present.
C
This
evening,
swearing-in
takes
place
at
the
critical
time
for
our
nation
and
for
our
democracy,
as
evidenced
by
the
findings
of
the
U.S
House
Congressional
Select
Committee
on
the
events
of
January
6
2021
I
will
never
forget
that
matter.
Ferranti
was
chair
of
the
sport
and
Mark's
March
was
candy
manager
when
we
sent
our
officers,
some
of
whom
are
here
to
defend
the
U.S
capital.
In
our
nation's
Constitution,
so
I
say
that
as
a
reminder.
C
C
Thank
you,
you
may
be
seated
now,
I
want
to
invite
and
welcome
our
chair
of
our
electoral
board
with
a
certification
of
the
results
of
this
election
right.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
Mr
magiri.
Thank
you
for
your
service
on
the
service
of
the
entire
board.
Thank.
R
Madam,
chair
and
board
members,
it's
my
pleasure
and
privilege
to
bring
greetings
from
our
County's
electoral
board
appointed
by
our
Circuit
Court,
to
administer
our
County's
elections
process
in
conjunction
with
I
think
she
may
have
stepped
out
the
best
Registrar
on
the
Commonwealth
of
Virginia.
Here
she
has
reaction,
Ryan
Meyer!
Would
you
please
stand
for
a
round
of
applause.
R
R
He
will
be
succeeded
by
Rich
samp,
who
was
in
the
office
today
and
I
saw
a
short
while
ago,
when,
during
Saturday's
board
meeting
chair
Crystal
announced
this
event.
Mr
Dave
fereni
aptly
noted
that
it
would
be
a
swearing
in
and
not
a
swearing
Act,
and
that
reminded
me.
Fuel
indulgement
for
just
a
moment
remind
me
of
what
reminded
me
of
a
letter
I
received
in
February
of
1970.
R
from
nedar
Thomas
member
of
this
board,
the
first
County
Board
member
who's
scoring
and
I
attended
in
the
Old
Courthouse
in
1967.
He
wrote
thank
you
for
your
letter.
Congratulating
me
on
my
election
of
the
County
Board
I,
really
appreciate
your
kind
words
of
support
and
encouragement
in
a
job
that
normally
draws
brick.
Bats
I
mentioned
that
to
say,
I
would
commend
All
of
You
a
New
Year's
resolution.
If
you
don't
do
it
already
collect
these
County
board?
Members
know
when
you
like
something
they
do.
S
Thank
you,
Scott
Paul,
Ferguson,
Clerk
of
the
Court
here
in
Arlington
and
before
I
administer
the
oath
as
a
constitutional
officer.
Scott
mentioned
that,
first
of
all,
thanks
for
your
work
on
the
Electoral
board,
it's
a
pleasure
working
with
you,
both
now
and
in
previous
years,
but
Sheriff
Beth
Arthur.
S
This
will
be
her
her
last
meeting
here
as
Sheriff,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
she's
recognized
after
an
outstanding
career,
Sheriff,
Beth
Arthur
is
retiring
after
22
years,
as
sheriff
and
my
other
constitutional
officer
colleagues
are
here:
Parisa
tafty,
the
Commonwealth
Attorney
is
somewhere
I,
think
right
there
and
Carla
Carla
de
apava,
our
Treasurer,
which
is
a
very
important
position
for
the
County
Board,
and
it's
handling
all
the
finances
so
before
I
give
the
oath
Matt
sent
me
a
picture
today
of
the
two
of
us
where
I
was
administering
the
oath
to
him
in
2018,
so
I'm
a
little
worried
about
seeing
the
before
and
after
pictures
of
me
four
years
older,
but
Brooke
was
not
in
that
picture.
S
They
they
met
after
his
first
campaign,
was
over
and
and
were
recently
married
in
the
last
is
more
than
a
year.
Now
year
and
a
half
or
so
two
plus
years
time
flies
so
I
told
Matt
that
the
picture
will
be
improved
because
it
won't
won't
be
just
just
the
two
of
us
so
Matt.
Would
you
please
raise
your
right
hand?
S
Do
you
Matthew
de
Ferrante,
solemnly
swear
affirm
that
you
will
uphold
the
Constitution
of
the
United
States
and
the
Constitution
and
laws
of
the
Commonwealth
of
Virginia,
and
that
you
will
faithfully
and
partially
discharge
all
the
duties
incumbent
upon
you,
as
a
member
of
the
Arlington
County
board
for
a
term
commencing
January
1st
2023
and
ending
December
31st
2026
according
to
the
best
of
your
abilities.
I.
Do
congratulations
once
again.
S
C
Congratulations:
Matt
also,
congratulations!
Brooke!
Thank
you
for
supporting.
It
cannot
be
overstated
now,
I,
it's
a
particular
pleasure
to
me
to
introduce
Reverend
Ashley
Goff
who's,
leading
the
Arlington
Presbyterian
Church,
almost
in
my
neighborhood.
Thank
you
so
much
a
very
strong
voice
in
Arlington,
a
voice
that
very
often
reminds
us
what
the
main
thing
is,
as
you
know,
older
politicians
say
never
forget
to
make
sure
that
the
main
thing
remains
the
main
thing
so
and
the
main
thing
is
to
serve
the
people
of
Arlington.
Thank
you.
T
T
We
know
that
mindful
breathing
regulates
the
central
nervous
system,
mindful
breathing,
can
help
us
feel
rooted
and
grounded,
especially
when
things
around
us
are
very
chaotic,
with
three
breaths.
You
can
settle
yourself
upon
yourself
and
that
settling
upon
yourself
is
essential
as
an
elected
official,
when
it
appears
that
at
times
Matt
some
people
just
want
to
consume
you
you
become
for
some
a
means
to
an
end,
and
there
seems
to
be
a
connection
too
with
privilege
and
a
sense
of
entitlement
in
this
consuming
the.
What
about
me?
What
about
me?
T
T
T
But
gratitude
in
the
prophetic
sense
can
help
us
see
beyond
what
is
in
front
of
us
and
gratitude.
Lets
us
pull
back
the
layers
to
see
Power
and
beauty
and
people
and
realities
that
we
might
miss
and
gratitude
counters.
The
scarcity
mindset,
scarcity
sees
limited
and
fixed
outcomes,
scarcity
claims
that
possibilities
are
in
short
supply
and
it
makes
it
difficult
to
imagine
ways
outside
the
status
quo.
T
The
Reverend
Dr
Senator
Rafael
Warnock
from
Georgia,
has
said
this.
Here
is
what
I've
learned
as
a
pastor.
You
can't
lead
the
people
unless
you
love
the
people
and
you
can't
love
the
people.
Unless
you
know
the
people-
and
you
can't
know
the
people
unless
you
walk
among
the
people,
so
Matt
take
a
walk
around
a
neighborhood
in
Arlington
once
a
week,
our
neighborhoods
were
designed
for
specific
people
who
lived
in
that
specific
place
at
a
specific
time,
and
it's
almost
impossible
now
to
find
those
same
people
doing
those
same
things
in
the
same
place.
T
Lastly,
ask
the
four
questions
who
benefits
who
was
burdened?
Who
is
missing
and
how
do
we
know
Matt
in
Your,
Vision
to
end
Hunger
in
Arlington
and
grow
our
economy
in
an
inclusive
way
and
get
to
a
hundred
percent
renewable
electricity
by
2035
to
end
homelessness,
to
make
housing
measurably
more
affordable
and
to
fund
our
schools
and
build
enough
seats?
T
Use
these
four
questions
as
a
filter
to
make
these
big
things
even
bigger
and
profoundly
equitable,
and
bring
these
questions
to
conversations
and
help
us
Matt
get
out
of
this
binary
hellscape
that
we
get
into
yes
and
no
win
or
lose
me
and
them
be
unapologically.
Bold.
With
these
questions,
Arlington's
past
has
been
less
than
equitable,
and
the
Arlington
of
the
future
must
be
Equitable.
There
is
no
way
around
this
and
so
Matt.
You
need
to
want
the
future
more
than
the
past.
T
C
A
lot
of
food
for
thought
right
for
everybody.
This
is
not
a
charge.
That
only
applies
to
elected
officials,
it's
a
charge.
That
applies
to
all
of
us,
in
fact,
Reverend.
Thank
you
so
much
for
these
reminders,
not
only
words
so
now
it
is
really
a
big
pleasure
to
introduce
Brooke
cancel
de
ferenti,
who
will
introduce
the
honorable
method
for
anti
in
a
way
that
nobody
else
can
do.
C
U
U
I
am
eager
to
applaud
his
many
talents
and
accomplishments,
but
my
humble
and
hard-working
husband
simply
wants
to
do
the
work.
Speaking
as
a
completely
unbiased
wife,
of
course,
I
can
say
that
Matt
has
countless
wonderful
qualities.
These
qualities
make
him
a
fantastic
husband,
but
they
also
make
him
a
wonderful
leader
and
public
servant.
U
He
is
earnest
and
passionate.
He
listens
more
than
he
speaks.
He
digs
into
the
details.
He
gives
credit
wherever
it
is
due.
He
is
always
alert
to
the
welfare
and
the
feelings
of
the
people
around
him.
He
is
thoughtful
and
responsive
and
engaged,
and
he
works
tirelessly
for
what
he
believes
in
and
for
the
people
he
represents
as
a
testament
to
Matt's
work,
ethic
and
dedication.
I
will
share
with
you
that
on
November
11th,
just
three
days
after
Matt
won
re-election
during
a
time
in
which
he
could
have
been
taking
a
bit
of
a
breather.
U
Email
is
Matt,
yes,
you
celebrated,
but
he
wasted
no
time
in
getting
back
to
work
because
there
was
work
to
be
done.
So,
of
course,
I
am
very
happy
that
Raphael
Warnock
won,
but
I
am
most
happy
that
Matt
won
I
am
so
grateful
and
I
think
we
should
all
be
so
grateful
that
Matt
wants
to
share
his
energy
and
his
enthusiasm
and
his
time
and
his
talent
with
us
for
another
four
years
as
a
member
of
the
Arlington
County
Board.
F
First,
thank
you
Brooke
and
I
love.
You
I'm,
so
grateful
for
your
support.
I
loved
having
my
sister
introduce
me
four
years
ago,
I'm
also
happy
to
have
Brooke
introduced
me.
Please
give
her
a
hand
because
she
serves
Arlington
just
as
I
do.
Thank
you.
F
I
want
to
thank
my
family,
who
is
here
today
my
father-in-law
Fred
mother-in-law,
Joan.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here,
my
sister-in-law
and
brother-in-law,
Charlie
and
Andrew,
and
little
baby
Logan,
who
is
the
star
of
the
show
I'd,
also
like
to
thank
my
parents,
Dave
and
Margot,
and
my
sister
Sarah,
who
I
think
are
watching
remotely.
If
you
like,
the
person
and
public
servant
that
I
am
they
get
the
credit.
So
please
give
my
round
of
approach
that
they
can
see
and
hear
remotely.
If
you
would.
F
Thank
you
to
those
who
made
my
service
possible
through
your
Relentless
support
to
Mark
and
Arlene
Dalton
Craig
Claire,
Rose,
Herschel,
Mary,
Paul
Janet
into
Jay,
Jimmy,
Carroll,
Tanya,
Natalie
and
Mike
Kip,
Charlie,
Joni
and
Marx.
Thank
you.
I.
Take
nothing
for
granted,
including
this
election,
so
I'm
very
grateful
for
your
help
this
year.
Please
give
them
a
quick
hand.
F
Foreign.
Thank
you
to
the
campaign
volunteers
poll,
greeters
and
Precinct
captains.
Rick
is
here
he
knocked
on
over
a
thousand
doors
this
year
again
Mary
David,
Melanie
and
Carol
Burnett,
who
drove
me
all
over
the
County
elections
are
won
by
those
who
talk
to
people
about
the
issues
and
go
door
to
door,
and
so
thank
you
so
much
for
those
who
knocked
on
doors
hosted
Vince,
drove
me
and
spread.
F
The
word
I
also
want
to
thank
my
colleagues,
Katie
Crystal
Christian
Dorsey,
Libby
Garvey
and
Takis
Karen
tones
I,
admire
your
commitment
to
public
service
and
to
arlingtonians.
We've
had
a
special
moment
for
a
couple
of
years,
at
least
where
we
have
all
not
always
agreed,
but
we
have
worked
collaboratively
and
I've
loved
that
it's
been
an
honor
to
work
with
you
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
years
to
come.
F
F
And
I
also
want
to
thank
the
entire
County
Board
staff.
You
make
it
possible
for
us
to
serve
please.
F
Last
I
want
to
thank
County,
Manager,
Mark,
Schwartz
and,
and
the
entire
staff
I
am
not
always
easy,
but
I
am
always
respectful
of
the
the
professionalism
and
commitment
that
you
guys
bring
as
a
staff
and
I
truly
am
looking
forward
to
working
with
you.
Please
give
our
County
staff
as
a
whole,
a
hand.
F
I
think
we
I
think
we've
now
actually
named
most
all
of
the
public
officials
in
the
room.
If
there's
someone
missing,
please
give
me
a
little
sign.
So,
all
four
years
ago,
I
was
sworn
in
I
shared
thoughts
about
Civility
and
the
American
dream
in
Arlington.
Today,
I've
got
an
update
on
this
moment
and
my
vision
for
the
next
four
years,
if
we
are
honest
civility
in
Arlington,
has
freed
a
bit
over
the
past
four
years
in
2020
and
2021
our
school
board.
F
F
What
I
do
believe
is
that
we
must
keep
listening
and
engaging
by
listening.
I
mean
we
have
to
keep
having
conversations
with
those
who
have
different
ideas
than
we
do
by
engaging
I
mean
we
must
wrestle
truly
wrestle
with
the
ideas
that
others
put
forward
listing
and
engaging
also
does
not
mean
we
will
agree
or
that,
as
a
community,
we
will
reach
unanimity
on
some
issues.
Just
won't
I
have
benefited,
I
can
say,
I've
benefited
so
much
from
conversations
with
people
with
whom
I
disagree.
F
It's
in
fact
those
disagreements
and
the
grace
that
arlingtonians
have
shown
me
that
give
me
confidence
that
we
can
keep
making
progress.
So
I
promise
to
listen
and
engage
with
you
and
to
be
civil.
Whether
you
are
one
of
the
52
000
again
who
voted
for
me
or
the
33
or
34
000,
who
did
not
I
promise
to
work
each
day
with
the
bigger
picture
in
mind,
all
238
000
arlingtonians
are
impacted
by
the
public
work
that
we
seek
to
do
for
you.
F
F
I've
experienced
how
Arlington
is
compassionate
and
thoughtful,
and
it
has
continued
to
inspire
me
this
year.
I've
met
with
residents
who
live
in
missing
middle
housing
in
fairlington
and
in
the
Penrose
neighborhood
on
Columbia
Pike,
also
in
missing
little
housing
who
are
concerned
about
density
in
single-family,
neighborhoods
I've
met
with
homeowners
on
26th
Street
across
from
the
Washington
Gulf
and
Country
Club,
who
are
focused
on
affordable
housing
for
own
for
those
who
earn
less
than
60
of
every
immediate
income.
F
I
met
with
arlingtonians
from
Westover,
who
were
committed
to
building
trust
with
our
immigrant
community
and
seniors
at
the
Jefferson,
for
whom
teacher
salaries
and
investing
in
our
schools
is
their
most
important
issue.
Our
community's
compassion
is
clear,
but
our
work
to
become
a
fully
compassionate
Community
is
not
done.
Our
next
challenges
are
the
hardest
they're
about
increasing
opportunity
for
residents
who
need
it.
The
most
our
work
on
equity
in
the
American
dream
is
fundamentally
unfinished
over
the
next
four
years.
F
F
F
That's
due
to
a
paradigm
shift
in
how
we
work
our
economy
that
covet
has
helped
cause
or
helped
accelerate.
So
how
can
we
build
an
economy
that
reduces
the
office
vacancy
rate
and
works
for
all
of
us?
Only
four
percent
of
Arlington's
electricity
comes
from
renewable
energy.
What
do
we
need
to
do
to
get
to
100
renewable
electricity
by
2035
to
fight
climate
change?
F
We
have
16
700
Arlington
residents
at
risk
of
food
insecurity.
What
will
we
do
to
help
reduce
and
end
Hunger?
In
Arlington,
there
are
24
272
residents
based
on
our
last
count
through
the
census
that
live
at
or
below
30
percent
of
the
area,
median
income,
which
is
about
forty
three
thousand
dollars
for
a
household
of
four
people.
F
F
What
can
we
do
to
make
a
measurable
difference
in
closing
those
gaps,
I'll
close
by
giving
you
a
picture
of
our
community?
This
picture
comes
from
conversations
with
my
new
neighbors
in
Rock
Spring
and
knocking
on
doors
in
Green,
Valley,
Douglas,
Park,
fairlington,
Cherrydale
and
many
other
neighborhoods.
F
It
comes
from
my
first
job
in
Arlington
in
1993
and
my
decision
to
vote
with
my
feet
by
moving
from
DC
to
courthouse
10
years
ago.
It
also
comes
from
my
walks
through
the
Serrano
Apartments
on
the
west
end
of
Columbia
Pike
and
conversations
with
other
residents
in
apartment
and
condo
buildings
in
Pentagon
City.
F
F
F
F
C
More
thoughts,
more
food
for
a
thought
and
before
we
go
to
the
food
that
is
outside
at
the
reception,
thank
you
for
the
invitation
for
more
walks.
I
think.
If
there
is
a
bottom
line,
he
walks
the
neighborhoods.
All
neighborhoods
are
really
on
the
order
and
they
are
really
not
only
limited
as
an
instruction
and
charge
to
public
officials.
Now
you
know
that
you
have
the
additional
benefit
of
maybe
Crossing.
C
You
know
walks
with
matte
fronti
or
Katie
Crystal
or
Christian
doors
here,
Olivia,
Garvey
or
myself,
or
with
Reverend
Ashley,
Goff
or
Brooke,
or
the
members
of
our
County
school
board
or
with
Barbara
favola.
Who
is
the
first
elected
official
who
I
ever
met
in
Arlington,
County
and
the,
and
the
welcome
was
listen.
We
don't
do
easy
in
Arlington.
Do
we
that
was
literally
the
hello?
How
are
you
so?
No,
we
don't
do
easy
in
Arlington.
C
We
do
we,
we
do
the
hard
things
as
JFK
was
saying
not
because
they
are
easy,
but
because
they
are
hard,
and
this
is
why
this
is
a
plea,
for
you
know
the
broadest
Community,
cohesion
and
collaboration.
Thank
you
so
much
for
these
words
and
now
it's
time
to
celebrate
a
little
bit
and
outside
our
refreshment,
and
you
can
ask
directly
Matt
and
and
Ashley
and
Brooke,
where
their
walks
will
bring
them
next.
C
C
M
M
M
A
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
45
Human,
Service,
non-profits,
I'm,
happy
to
announce
are
going
to
be
awarded
grants
ranging
between
five
thousand
dollars
and
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
based
on
the
size
of
the
organization
and
about
sixty
percent
of
the
non-profits,
are
already
receiving
funding
from
the
county
this
fiscal
year,
but
about
forty
percent.
Do
not
have
current
grants
or
contracts
with
the
county
and
two
have
never
received
funding
in
the
past
from
the
county.
N
So
we've
awarded
the
we've
awarded
we've
informed
the
awardees
and
we're
in
the
I
just
signed
the
agreements
today,
we're
currently
in
the
process
of
sending
out
those
payments,
and
we
will
have
posted
on
the
county
manager's
webpage
by
Friday,
a
list
of
all
the
recipient.
All
the
recipients
and
I
wanted
to
thank
the
staff
in
my
office,
special
Elizabeth
Matlock,
who
worked
on
this
and
I.
Think
consistent
with
the
presentation
we
heard
earlier
today.
N
A
A
F
Thank
you,
colleagues
and
Mr,
and
the
manager
for
doing
this
I
do
think
that
it.
It
fits
with
what
we
were
talking
about
earlier,
which
is
very
important
in
the
discussions
leading
up
to
this
and
and
I'm
really
pleased
with
that,
and
you
might
not
have
an
answer
for
this.
But
is
it
reasonable
to
guess
or
hope
that
sort
of
by
the
end
of
January,
if
not
before
the
the
the
funds,
would
be
disbursed
or
is
that.
N
Yes,
I
mean
the
funds
will
probably
be
dispersed
before
that,
so,
if
they're
on
their
way,
I
was
speaking
to
some
of
the
lucky
recipients
at
the
reception.
Thank.
A
You
very
interested
in
the
answer
to
that
question
as
well.
I
can
imagine.
Thank
you
great,
thank
you
so
much
and
Mr
manager,
my
Kirk,
that
you
have
one
other
item.
N
So,
yes,
you
can
see,
we
have
a
live,
in-person
audience
of
Jeremy
carpel
from
the
Arlington
video
group
who
is
sitting
here
and
he
and
Pete
Hill.
Do
it's
a
labor
of
love.
We
have
a
lot
of
fun
doing
it.
We
do
every
year
a
video
for
the
County
Board
and
before
I
talk
about
that
I
also
wanted
to
hold
up.
N
You
all
got
a
hard
copy
of
this
and
I
can't
emphasize
this
enough,
which
is
it's
the
Arlington
County
government,
2022
annual
report
and
one
of
my
favorite
words
I,
get
I'm
gobsmacked
every
year
when
I
read
all
the
things
that
we
have
done
and
it's
not
just
you
know,
County
staff,
it's
things
that
are
happening
in
the
community,
but
this
document,
which
runs
almost
60,
Pages
details
all
the
work
that
we've
done
as
a
board
as
staff
and
out
in
the
community,
and
we
work
really
hard
and
get
a
lot
done.
N
So
I
collect
these
every
year.
They
have
a
very
nondescript
cover
and
they
reside
in
a
very
pleasant
place
on
our
website.
But
if
people
want
to
know
what
it
is
we're
doing,
this
is
the
place
to
look
so
with
that
I'm
going
to
cue
the
video
for
our
end
of
year
celebration.
So,
let's
roll
the
let's
roll,
the
video
tape.
K
Q
K
K
K
J
W
A
So
thank
you,
Mr
manager
and
thank
you
Arlington
TV
team.
That
was
a
pretty
remarkable
reminder
of
how
much
happened
this
year
as
much
as
our
year
in
review.
Documents
really
conveys
it,
and
perhaps
the
video
says
even
more.
We
really
appreciate
you
all
and
thank
you.
I
won't
get
too
sentimental
about
it
because
we
do
have
a
little
bit
more
business
to
close
out
2022
I
believe
we
will
now
move
to
our
consent
agenda
unless
there's
anything
else
from
the
manager
Madame
clerk.
M
Hi
good
evening
and
happy
holidays
to
everyone,
can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
we.
M
Great
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
tonight.
My
name
is
Jim
Rosen
I'm
here
in
my
role
as
president
of
the
Boston
Virginia
Square
civic
association,
whose
boundaries
include
the
what's
your
site.
As
you
know,
the
the
item
that
we're
speaking
to
this
evening
is
the
application
for
abandonment
of
the
Old
Northeast
Old,
North,
Quincy
Street.
Right
of
way.
M
Our
goal
as
a
civic
association
is
to
protect
and
promote
the
welfare
of
the
neighborhood,
and
it
is
with
that
in
mind
that
I'm
here,
on
behalf
of
the
executive
committee,
to
request
that
you
put
off
consideration
of
this
application
for
abandonment
of
the
Old
Northeast
North
Quincy
Street.
Right
of
way,
we
send
a
letter
to
the
Planning
Commission
earlier
this
month.
That
gives
a
lot
of
the
detail
on
the
reasons
that
we
are
requesting,
this
deferral.
Basically,
it
comes
down
to
two
things.
M
First,
while
the
application
makes
it
seem
like
the
proposed
abandonment
is
just
a
minor
administrative
Cleanup.
In
fact,
the
action
could
result
in
some
really
bad
negative
outcomes
for
the
neighbors
and
the
neighborhood.
More
generally
and
second,
the
application
leaves
out
a
lot
of
very
relevant
information
about
the
Quincy
site,
particular
failing
to
mention
the
actions
that
you,
the
County
Board,
took
in
May,
2022
related
to
placement
of
the
Arlington
Public
Schools,
White
Fleet
and
the
29
art
buses.
M
Y
Y
It's
better
than
the
outcome,
when
the
so-called
Modera
developer
demanded
to
expand
the
size
of
his
pile
and
the
community
objected
in
writing
and
you
nevertheless
consigned
it
to
the
memory
hole.
That
is
the
consent
agenda.
You
might
not
remember
this,
but
the
neighborhood
does.
This
is
a
neighborhood
with
a
high
proportion
of
seniors
hoping
to
age
in
place.
It
has
long
been
a
modest
neighborhood
of
working
people.
It's
replete
with
postage
stamp
lots
and
Sears
catalog
houses
from
the
1930s
40s
and
50s.
You
ought
to
come
visit
it
sometime.
Y
It's
right
next
to
line
Village,
which
I'm
certain
you're
familiar
with,
but
since
2016
we
have
seen
endless
disruption
in
miseration,
indifferently
inflicted
degradation
of
public
open
space
of
light
of
clean
air,
and
you
have
countenance
this
why
your
own
study
has
concluded
that
the
general
area
north
of
Washington
Boulevard
here
is
in
the
lowest
life
expectancy
category.
So
you
must
appreciate
that
people
here
are
are
are
rather
angry
when
challenged
on
this
matter.
Last
week
the
county
manager
said
that
he
could
not
say
much
about
the
matter
because
it
was
in
litigation.
Y
Perhaps
the
County
Board
needs
reminding
that
this
litigation
started
with
you
when
you
decide
to
pursue
my
neighbors,
including
one
who
had
lived
here
for
nearly
60
years
and
my
civic
association
for
daring
to
appeal
a
zoning
determination,
regardless
of
why
you
thought
this
was
a
good
thing
to
do
to
your
citizens,
though
it
has
the
aroma
of
bullying
and
I
that
so
much
so
that
I,
don't
think
you're
well-oiled
public
relations
infrastructure
can
erase
it.
In
my
mind,
litigation
is
quintessentially
a
controversial
matter.
Y
You
you
can't
have
it
both
ways.
A
matter
of
litigation
cannot
be
non-controversial
why
you
thought
it
was
rational
to
shunt
this
matter
to
the
content
consent
agenda
in
the
first
place.
I,
don't
know
it's
a
mystery
to
me.
I
have
a
few
theories,
but
I'm
glad
you
saw
a
reason
accordingly
in
the
future,
where
this
neighborhood
is
concerned,
rather
than
simply
rubber
stamp
any
recommended
relegation
to
the
consent
agenda.
Y
I,
I
Intrigue
you
that
you
make
it
your
default
position
to
be
the
on
to
do
the
opposite,
that
no
no
matter
concerning
this
neighborhood
should
just
be
sent
to
the
consent
agenda
too
much
has
happened
in
too
little
time.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
Z
Z
This
is
a
request
on
behalf
of
the
county,
to
abandon
this
portion
in
order
to
conform
with
the
master
Transportation
plan,
which
no
longer
designates
this
section
as
right
away.
This
original
piece
was
established
in
1921
and
the
pavement
was
removed
back
in
probably
the
70s
or
80s,
when
Quincy
Street
was
realigned
and
I-66
was
built.
Z
Z
Z
Currently,
the
fence
is
on
three
sides:
seven
feet,
but
on
the
west
side
near
the
street
Frontage,
it
is
only
four
feet
and
that
is
due
to
County
zoning
requirements
which
limit
the
height
of
a
fence,
that's
adjacent
to
a
right-of-way
or
with
it
within
a
certain
distance
to
four
feet,
and
so
the
abandonment
would
allow
the
forefoot
fence
to
be
replaced
by
a
seven
foot
fence.
The
abandonment
would
be
subject
to
a
reservation
of
an
easement
for
existing
public
and
private
utilities.
Z
This
is
just
an
exhibit
a
map
showing
you
the
section
that
is
currently
just
a
paper
Street,
and
this
is
showing
you
the
the
area
here
up
near
66.
The
yellow
line
shows
Quincy
Street
as
it
is
constructed
now,
and
that
is
the
type
e
arterial
street
that
is
shown
on
the
master
Transportation
plan
and,
as
you
can
see,
the
original
piece
no
longer
appears
on
on
that.
It
leads
to
nowhere.
Z
County
staff
would
therefore
recommend
that
the
County
Board
enact
the
the
ordinance
to
abandon
the
portion
of
the
original
North
Quincy
Street
as
a
public
Street,
subject
to
the
utility
easements
and
authorize
the
real
estate
bureau
chief
to
sign
all
documents
necessary
for
the
abandonment
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank.
A
A
AA
I'll
just
make
a
couple
comments.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
good
evening
board
members.
The
Planning
Commission
did
hear
this
on
December
5th,
two
of
the
Commissioners
asked
staff
clarifying
questions
regarding
neighborhood
Outreach,
to
which
they
did
respond.
Chairman
we're
reminded
us.
The
scope
of
this
item
appears
to
be
limited
to
the
abandonment
and
commissioner
lantalmy
reported
that
when
Transportation
Commission
heard
it,
they
unanimously
recommended
approval.
It
was
on
our
motion.
The
motion
carried
8204,
the
staff
motion.
So,
if
you
have
any
questions
I'm
available,
thank.
A
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I
would
like
to
move
the
county
manager's
recommendation
for
item
number
12,
which
is
to
enact
the
attached
ordinance
to
abandon
a
portion
of
the
original
North
Quincy
Street
as
a
public
Street,
subject
to
a
reservation
of
an
easement
for
existing
public
and
private
utilities,
and
two
to
authorize
the
real
estate
real
estate
bureau,
chief
Das
or
his
designee,
to
execute
and
or
record
on
behalf
of
the
board.
All
documents
necessary
to
effectuate
the
ordinance
of
vacation
and
subject
to
approval
as
the
form
of
all
documents
by
our
County
attorney.
F
I
mean
I
want
to
acknowledge.
The
two
speakers
spoke
in
very
different
ways
about
frustration
with
the
underlying
issues
and
when
there
is
certainly
understand
with
Clarity
that
there's
their
legal
concerns
that
were
raised,
particularly
by
the
second
speaker.
F
Ultimately,
seven
foot
fence,
as
opposed
to
the
four
foot
fence,
seems
a
step
forward
and
with
respect
to
the
remaining
issues
that
are
raised,
I
guess
I
I
feel
like
it's
appropriate
to
acknowledge
the
concerns,
but
that
does
not
lead
me
to
an
alternative
conclusion
with
respect
to
an
easement
that
to
me
appears
not
consistent
with
the
current
uses,
and
so
the
underlying
concerns
are
there.
F
I
did
see
Mr
Rosen
a
couple
weeks
ago
and
certainly
there's
a
follow-up
item
there,
but
I
want
to
be
also
I
think
it's
stewarding
the
overall
Community
appropriately
not
to
speculate
on
matters
when
there's
an
ongoing
set
of
legal
issues
raised
in
this
manner
so
hear
the
concerns.
I,
don't
think
that's
going
to
be
sufficient
for
particularly
Mr
files,
but
also
Mr
Rosen,
but
I.
That
doesn't
lead
me
to
a
different
conclusion
in
this
case.
Unfortunately,.
C
I
actually
had
a
a
question,
so
the
the
civic
association
sent
us
a
letter
that
is
even
longer
than
the
board
report
on
this,
and
it
was
detailed
and
it
it.
You
know,
attempts
to
make
points
that
refer
to
the
board
action
in
past
spring.
C
I,
don't
see
a
you
know,
a
challenge
of
of
the
specific
question
here
under
item
number
12
of
the
abandonment,
and
you
know
correcting
something:
that's
obviously
the
district
doesn't
exist
anymore
and
we
need
this
street
in
order
to
properly
fence
the
the
the
location
probably
protected
and
also
protect
the
neighbors
from
excessive
noise,
etc,
etc.
So
does
the
ongoing.
My
question
is:
to
what
degree
is
the
are
the
legal
challenges
or
the
legitimate
questions,
or
you
know
any
questions
about
board
action
in
in
in
the
spring?
A
Mr
I
don't
know
if
you'd
like
to
start
to
talk
about
sort
of
the
the
history
of
this
parcel
and
any
bearings
that
the
action
for
May
has
on
the
spring.
And
then,
if
there's
other
comments
that
perhaps
the
county
attorney's
office
might
wish
to
weigh
in
on
as
well.
Z
The
action
tonight
is
is
specifically
addressed
at
the
piece
of
right-of-way.
It's
not
addressed
concerning
it's
not
a
not
an
issue
of
of
the
use
of
the
Quincy
site.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
you
know
Ms
Herbst
and
Mr
Karen
tonis.
Thank
you
for
eliciting
that,
because
that's
really
the
Crux
of
the
matter.
The
19
page
complaint,
which
contains
matters
that
are
the
subject
of
Resident
initiated
litigation,
are
not
affected
by
this
at
all.
B
As
the
missive
expresses
that
the
application
to
the
Planning
Commission
materials
that
were
sent
to
the
Planning
Commission
lacks
the
information
for
their
to
appropriately
consider
this
proposed
abandonment
and
that
it
goes
on
to
say
and
I
quote,
to
enable
the
County
Board
to
make
further
noxious
use
of
the
Quincy
site.
It
actually
just
allows
it
to
make
use
of
the
site,
as
we've
already
determined.
So
there
is
no
further
implication
here.
B
So
I
can
find
no
legitimate
reason
to
not
consider
this
abandonment
on
its
own
and
given
its
lack
of
necessity
to
being
consistently
in
accord
with
the
master
Transportation
plan
or
our
future
needs.
This
is
not
very
difficult
for
me,
so
I'm
pleased
to
support
the
motion
which
I
made
and
we
will
continue
to
have
conversation,
hopefully
in
the
community,
but
perhaps
also
in
a
court
of
law.
Regarding
the
other
circumstances
that
have
been
raised.
E
Thank
you
I
think
I'd
like
to
associate
myself
with
everybody's
remarks.
I
think
this
clearly
is
something
that
we
need
to
move
forward
on
other
other
issues,
but
not
with
this
particular
vote
and
I'd
like
to
just
simply
call
a
question.
Welcome.
A
Indeed,
all
right
I
believe
there
is
no
further
discussion.
Indeed,
the
question
has
been
called
all
those
in
favor
of
Mr
dorsey's
motion.
Please
say:
aye
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay
that
carries
unanimously
Madam
clerk.
Do
we
have
any
other
business
to
come
before
the
County
Board
this
evening?
We
do
not
all
right
well.
In
that
event,
we
are
adjourned
for
the
month
of
December
and
indeed
for
2022.
We
will
see
everyone.
We
can
reconvene
for
our
organizational
meeting
on
January
3rd
2023,
happiest
of
holidays
and
happy
New
Year.
Everyone
well.
