I

make
sure
the
community
knows
that
October

be

kickoff
to

Thank
you
so

all
right,
I

Did
you
want
to
do
the
emergency
I.
B
A
B
You,
which
is
September
we're
back
in
the
month
of
September,
again
and
I'm,
pleased
to
read
this
Proclamation,
whereas
September
2022
is
National
preparedness
month,
as
declared
by
the
Department
of
Homeland
Security
and
whereas
National
preparedness
month
seeks
to
increase
public
awareness,
about
the
importance
of
preparing
for
disasters
and
emergencies
and
to
encourage
individuals
to
act,
and
whereas
preparedness
goes
beyond
fire
alarms,
deadbolt
locks
and
extra
food,
and
whereas
Arlington
County's
Department
of
Public,
Safety,
Communications
and
Emergency
Management
encourages
arlingtonians
to
prepare
for
disasters
and
emergencies
in
their
homes,
businesses
and
schools,
and
whereas
National
preparedness
month
is
an
opportunity
for
all
residents
and
employees
to
prepare
for
disasters
and
emergencies.
B
And
whereas
Arlington
County
encourages
residents
to
be
informed
about
different
threats.
Make
an
emergency
supply
kit,
make
a
family
emergency
communication
plan
and
get
involved
in
preparing
our
community
and
whereas
preparedness
is
everyone's
responsibility.
Now,
therefore,
Katie
Crystal,
chair
of
the
County
Board
of
Arlington
Virginia,
does
hereby
proclaim
the
month
of
September
2022
National
preparedness
month
in
Arlington
County,
and
urge
all
citizens
to
get
informed,
make
a
plan
and
get
involved
in
preparedness
and
I'll
be
happy
to
talk
about
that
later
today.
Thank
you.
A
A
I
have
the
pleasure
of
beginning
this
afternoon
to
talk
about
a
topic
that
actually
came
up
at
our
public
comment
on
Saturday
and
I
have
been
looking
forward
to
bringing
back
to
this
board,
which
is
ranked
Choice
voting
in
Arlington
and
specifically,
what
I
am
talking
about
today
is
a
proposal
in
consultation
with
my
colleagues
that
we
bring
ranked
Choice
voting
to
Arlington
local
offices
only
specifically
County
Board,
only
in
2023
piloting
with
the
primaries.
So
if
we
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
so
what
is
ranked
Choice
voting
RCV?
A
It's
an
electoral
system,
we're
probably
most
familiar
with
our
current.
Our
current
system,
which
is
essentially
whomever,
gets
the
the
most
among
a
plurality,
is
the
winner
ranked
Choice
voting
is
a
system
that
allows
but
does
not
require
voters
to
rank
their
candidates
by
order
of
preference.
You
can
see
a
little
demonstration
here
if
a
candidate
wins
a
majority
outright,
then
that
ranked
Choice
voting
operates
just
like
our
current
system.
If
they
don't,
then
our
tabulators
in
our
Arlington
Elections
office
then
go
to
later
preferences
and
allocate
them
to
to
to
the
remaining
candidates.
A
Instant
runoff
is
a
term
that
people
are
maybe
more
familiar
with,
and
in
2020
the
general
assembly
took
an
action
that
allowed
localities
to
adopt
ranked
Choice
voting
when
it
comes
to
electing
their
County
Board
of
Supervisors
or
city
councils,
starting
just
this
past
spring,
the
Virginia
Department
of
Elections
convened
A,
ranked
Choice
voting
working
group
of
electoral
board
members
and
registrars
to
start
standardizing,
Administration
and
creating
an
election
administration's
handbook.
A
So
we
had
been
waiting
for
some
of
that
work
to
happen
at
the
state
level
before
we
could
Implement
locally
if
we
could
go
to
the
next
page.
So
why
consider
this
in
Arlington?
Well,
here's
a
a
snippet
of
a
headline
from
the
editorial
board
of
the
Washington
Post,
calling
specifically
on
our
neighbors
in
Montgomery
County
I'm,
not
sure
why
not
Arlington
to
to
implement
ranked
Choice
voting
but
expressing
their
support.
Certainly
rank
Trace
footing
has
been
in
the
news
apropos
of
a
congressional
race
in
Alaska,
where
ranked
Choice
voting
delivered.
A
Someone
who's
widely
seen,
perhaps
as
a
more
moderate
candidate
to
in
that
special
election,
but
ranked
Choice
voting
is
demonstrated
through
survey
data,
where
it's
in
use
to
strengthen
voters,
sense
of
efficacy
in
local
government.
It
allows
voters
to
express
their
full
preferences
to
vote
for
a
candidate
whose
ideology
or
platform
they
might
be
really
interested
in
supporting,
even
if
that
candidate
quote,
doesn't
have
as
good
of
a
shot
at
winning
and
it
also
promotes
consensus
candidates.
A
You
are
more
likely
to
see
candidates
who
have
a
broader
appeal
across
the
community,
elevated
as
nominees
or
winners.
We
also
are
looking
next
year.
As
many
know,
the
is
the
two-seat
year
where
two
of
the
County
Board
seats
are
on
the
ballot
which,
in
consultation
with
our
registrar
suggests,
actually
could
be
an
ideal
time
to
introduce
ranked
Choice
voting.
Voters
are
more
likely
to
see
a
difference
in
the
the
RCV
and
the
traditional
system
and
learn
about
how
the
system
works.
A
They
are
also
used
to
already
marking
down
two
names
in
a
two
seat
year.
The
tabulation
is
a
little
bit
more
complex,
but
it's
important
to
note
that
what
voters
need
to
understand
is
only
how
to
rank
their
candidates
and
then
those
who
are
interested
in
how
tabulation
works
on
the
back
end.
We
are
fortunate
to
have
a
register
on
electoral
board
that
are
very
interested
in
getting
into
the
details
of
that,
but
it's
not
the
responsibility
of
the
voter
to
bring
all
of
that
knowledge.
A
Into
The,
Ballot
Box,
so
is
those
who
might
have
been
following
this
issue
know
we
met
last
October
at
last
August.
Actually,
there
was
some
community
outreach.
The
community
participated
in
kind
of
a
teach-in,
as
well
as
a
trial,
run
voting
actually
apropos
of
today's
Proclamation,
their
favorite
farmers
market
in
Arlington
ranking
those
as
a
way
of
learning
how
the
system
might
work
and
in
follow-up
from
that,
our
registrar
and
electoral
board
met
with
us.
A
The
County
Board
in
an
October
work
session
last
year
to
talk
about
what
we
learned
from
that
and
what
it
could
look
like
to
potentially
Implement
in
Arlington
County,
based
on
feedback
from
colleagues
and
discussion
there.
It
seemed
like
the
the
appetite
was
to
begin
with
a
pilot
to
start
with
primaries.
First
see
how
that
goes,
and
so
that
is
with
the
proposal
that
I
am
bringing
forward.
A
Today
we
could
go
to
the
next
slide
so
later
this
afternoon
we
are
going
to
put
on
the
website
an
online
feedback
form
you
can
find
it
by
going
to
arlingtonva.us
search,
ranked
Choice
voting
that
should
be
available
starting
around
5
PM
and
we'll
have
that
available
through
early
November.
A
We
are
asking
people
for
their
interests
in
our
CV
their
their
interest
in
seeing
us
implemented
on
a
scale
of
one
to
five
to
to
get
some
quantitative
sense,
but
also
to
ask
people
what
questions
they
may
have
or
interests
they
may
have
in
this
pending
that
Community
input,
as
well
as
some
other
direct
stakeholder
Outreach
I,
am
proposing
that
we
consider
in
November
a
public
hearing,
of
course
again
that
will
be
dependent
on
community
input.
A
This
is
a
timeline
that
we're
rolling
out
for
now
or
I'm
rolling
out
for
now
and
considering
a
resolution.
So
why
do
that
in
November,
when
elections
wouldn't
be
until
next
June?
Well,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
Electoral
board
and
our
register
have
plenty
of
time
to
conduct
Outreach
and
engagement
and
education
opportunities.
Everybody
who
hasn't
already
ranked
their
favorite
farmers
markets,
perhaps
having
more
opportunities
like
it
to
do
so,
get
a
feel
for
how
RCV
might
work.
A
It's
also
important
to
note
that
by
the
law,
the
Commonwealth
as
I
mentioned,
enabled
localities
to
adopt
this
for
local
supervisors
and
city
councilors.
But
we
do
have
to
adopt
a
resolution
with
at
least
60
days
of
notice
before
an
election
where
ranked
Choice
voting
would
be
used,
and
we
also
have
learned
from
our
registrar
that
it's
generally
best
practice
to
make
sure
that
before
the
calendar
year
in
which
an
election
would
be
had
that
everyone
understands
potentially
the
voting
system
that
would
be
used.
So
I
really
appreciate
the
conversations
I've
had
with
my
colleagues.
A
I
know:
board
members
are
still
forming
their
opinions,
but
I
do
think
there
was
more
appetite
for
at
least
taking
on
primaries
as
a
pilot
and
I
know
that
we
are
all
really
looking
forward
to
hearing
from
the
community
directly.
So
if
you
are
part
of
a
group
that
would
like
to
talk
about
this
with
us
as
well,
I'd
encourage
you
to
send
us
a
note
at
County
Board
Arlington
va.us,
but
we
will
have
that
Community
input
form
as
well
as
reaching
out
to
some
of
the
major
state
holders
in
the
community
directly.
A
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
commanding
you
for
advancing
the
issue.
We
have
had
already
conversations
here.
I
think
we
and
I
myself
have
participated
in
a
mock-up
of
ranked
Choice
voting
exercise
with
the
registrar
that
was
excellently
organized
and
you
know
we.
We
got
I
believe
a
lot
of
insight
from
that
I
have
a
question
that
is
technical,
actually,
so
the
the
last.
C
The
last
point
you
made
is
by
lower
Master
double
resolution,
60
days
with
60
days
notice,
before
an
election
where
RCV
will
be
used
now
is
that
from
60
days
counting
the
date
of
the
election,
so
the
election
date
or
the
date
that
voting
starts.
That.
A
Is
a
fantastic
question:
I,
don't
know
the
answer
I
can
find
it
out,
but
I
will
note
that
if
we
were
to
adopt
our
resolution
in
November,
we
would
be
well
clear
of
that,
no
matter
how
I,
how
you
count
it
because
the
the
early
voting
for
June
would
be
well
more
than
60
days
after
November,
but
it's
a
great
point,
especially
given
how
many
arlingtonians
vote
not
at
their
Ballot
Box
on
Election
Day,
but
rather
by
mail
Etc,
so
I'm.
A
C
I
mean
the
technical
is
one,
the
other
is
the
Outreach
and
the
education
part,
because
you
know
the
if
the
election
is
in
in
June
and
basically
voting
starts
in
may
we
want
voters
to
be
familiarized
with
the
system
way
in
advance,
so
that
gives
us
effectively
just
a
few
months
in
the
new
year.
For
that,
that's
certainly.
A
Yeah
I
appreciate
the
point,
and
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
this.
It's
a
little
bit
of
a
balance
that
we
probably
don't
want
to
start
advertising
a
new
electoral
system
before
this
year's
election.
Lest
we
sow
confusion
so
in
proposing
that
we
do
this
resolution
in
November
I'm
trying
to
kind
of
maximize
the
amount
of
time
for
exactly
that.
Outreach
agreed
Miss.
B
Garvey,
did
you
want
to
yeah
I
I
just
said
I'm
glad
we're
doing
this.
I
mean
you
know.
We
won't
really
know
until
it
happens,
and
hopefully
it
happens
a
lot
of
places
besides
here,
but
in
my
own
experience
in
doing
races
where
there
were
two
seats
up.
You
know,
and
you
spend
a
lot
of
time
being
careful
to
if
I
can't
have
your
first
vote.
Can
I
have
your
second,
so
it
it
really
keeps
you
from
being
too
partisan
and
too
negative,
which
I
think
would
be
a
very
good
thing.
B
D
I
just
think,
I
think
it's
great
we're
having
the
comment
period.
I
think
it
Bears
repeating
what
you
had
mentioned
on
Saturday,
which
is
that
in
the
intervening
time
between
last
year
and
this
year,
the
costs
have
been
reduced.
Two
to
five
million
is
not
in
significant
amount
of
money
and
so
I
think
that's
an
important
piece
of
why
the
slight
delay
in
timing.
So
thanks
appreciate.
A
Your
saying
so,
thank
you
all
right.
Well,
if
there's
nothing
else
on
this,
we
really
look
forward
to
hearing
from
the
community.
You
do
not
have
to
rank
order.
The
feedback
that
you
provide,
you
can
just
give
it
all
to
us
at
once,
we're
looking
forward
to
those
conversations.
A
You'd
like
to
well
all
right
so
that
concludes
my
Chairman's
report.

Arlington.
County
yeah.
A
B
A
Thank
you.
It's
always
such
a
pressure
when
we
get
to
appoint
somebody
else.
So
thank
you
for
serving
excellent
and
with
that
actually
miss
Garvey
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
to
you
for,
for
that
and
I
think
a
couple
other
board
reports,
yeah.
B
And
so
we'll
return
first,
a
national
emergency
preparedness
month
which,
for
the
federal
government
they've,
decided
to
call
protect
your
legacy
for
this
year.
Next
slide.
Please,
and
so
anytime
you
go
on
to
ready.gov.plan.
You
can
get
all
kinds
of
ideas
on
how
to
do
plans.
It
can
be
a
little
overwhelming.
There's
some
Basics
here,
you
know
get
your
emergency
alerts.
Prepare
an
emergency
kit,
make
a
family
Communications
plan.
Even
that
can
get
a
little
overwhelming,
but
I
will
go
through
a
few
things
that
are
pretty
easy
and
quick
to
do
here.
B
If
you
haven't
done
them
already.
Next
slide,
please
arlingtonalert.com!
If
you
haven't
signed
up
sign
up
it's
it's
great,
you
get
alerts
and
you
can
put
down
which
alerts
you
want
to
get
it
helps
you
know.
What's
what's
going
on
and
I
often
find
if
there
seems
to
be
something
going
on
and
I
don't
have
an
Arlington
alert,
I
think
I,
probably
don't
have
to
worry
about
it
too
much,
and
sometimes
you
get
an
Arlington
alert
and
say,
oh
think
about
that.
So
it's
really
handy.
It's
easy
to
sign
up
next
slide.
B
Please
also
I
urge
you
to
near
your
radio
we'll
get
into
the
the
radio
in
just
a
bit:
wera
96.7,
that's
our
aim.
Station
Arlington,
Independent,
Media,
lots
of
fun
good
shows
that
are
very
locally
focused,
but
in
a
case
of
an
emergency
it
that
that
radio
station
can
broadcast
what's
going
on
in
an
emergency
and
of
course
we
have
to
kind
of
be
aware
an
emergency.
Maybe
the
devices
won't
work.
Maybe
the
the
computer
won't
work
and
you
want
to
know.
B
What's
going
on,
you
got
to
go
back,
maybe
to
a
20th
century
technology,
which
is
pretty
good
as
a
backup
and
wera
96.7
should
be
there
for
you
and
for
all
of
us
next
slide.
Please
so.
I
also
like
to
put
together
a
little
thing,
because
I
think
when
they
have
the
getting
the
emergency
kit
together,
it
can
get
a
little
overwhelming,
so
I
try
to
keep
it
really
simple.
B
I
always
keep
on,
and
this
is
after
my
time
in
Africa
when
we
would
be
riding
on
buses
and
there
wasn't
any
really
drinkable
water-
and
you
didn't
know
what
you
were
getting,
but
you
were
really
thirsty.
So
we
would
always
carry
little
potable
agua
Aqua
pills,
which
are
to
purify
water.
You
never
know
when
you
need
it.
I
find.
When
you
read
about
an
emergency
preparedness.
Sometimes
they
say
you
need
to
have
so
many
gallons
per
person
per
day.
B
If
you're,
trying
to
evacuate
carrying
all
those
gallons
of
water
is
not
likely
to
happen,
but
a
little
bottle
of
of
pill
of
tablets
to
purify
the
water,
for
you
seems
like
a
really
good
thing
to
have
just
in
case
electricity
may
go
off.
You
can
do
pretty
well
with
electricity
for
a
while,
it's
nice
to
have
a
little
kind
of
NightLight,
so
I
bought
this.
This
is
just
a
candle.
It's
an
electric
candle,
a
real
candle.
B
Those
are
great
I
like
real
candles,
but
if
you've
got
kids
and
things,
maybe
it's
not
the
safest
thing.
So,
if
you
have
this
at
night,
you
can
just
have
a
little
bit
of
a
light
on
with
a
a
battery,
and
these
make
9
nice
mood
lighting
when
you're
not
in
an
emergency,
just
good
to
have
a
lot
on
hand
and
then
another
really
handy
thing.
We
don't
need
to
flashlight
so
much
anymore,
because
we've
got
these
phones.
You
know
you
can
turn
your
phone
into
a
flashlight.
B
It
was
great,
but
if
you
actually
are
in
the
dark-
and
you
need
to
do
something
with
your
hands
and
one
of
them's
trying
to
hold
a
phone,
it's
kind
of
tough,
so
I
highly
recommend
getting
just
a
little
simple
headlight
you
can
put
on
put
around
your
head
and
it
just
every
time
everywhere.
You
look
the
light
shines
and
you
can
see
what
you're
doing
those
are
really
handy
for
camping
and
other
things,
but
really
good
to
have
on
hand.
B
Last
thing:
emergency,
radio,
none
of
us
much
listen
to
the
radio
at
home
anymore.
Perhaps
actually
I
do
but
I'm
kind
of
older
and
old-fashioned.
But
if
the
power
goes
out
and
you've
got
to
get
information,
one
of
these
radios
is
great
and
this
particular
one
has
a
handy
thing
where
you
can
crank
it
and
keep
it
going
that
way.
It
runs
on
battery.
It
runs
on
solar.
B
You
can
listen
to
wear
a
to
find
out
what's
going
on,
and
if
your
phone
starts
to
go
down
and
there's
no
electricity
City,
you
can
actually
charge
your
phone
with
this
radio.
You
can
use
the
hand
crank
to
do
it
or
the
solar.
It
probably
is
a
little
bit
painstaking,
but
if
you
are
really
anxious
for
connectivity
and
you've
not
got
a
functioning
phone
because
the
electricity
is
out,
this
is
a
really
handy
thing
to
have
so
I
highly
recommend
getting
some
form
of
a
radio
like
this,
which
is
great.
B
So
that's
my
little
locally
emergency
preparedness
thing
I
find
every
September
I
give
these
talks
because
it
is
September.
It
makes
us
September.
11Th
makes
us
think
we
need
to
be
prepared
for
all
kinds
of
things
we
might
not
expect
and
I
find
I
have
to
find
things
sometimes
and
realize.
Can
I
remember
how
to
work
the
radio
and
stuff.
So
it's
just
a
good
drill
for
me
to
do
myself
and
encourage
other
folks
to
give
that
a
try
don't
get
overwhelmed
by
things.
B
Keep
it
simple
if
you
need
to,
but
do
something
to
think
about
an
emergency
and
what
you
need
to
get
ready
next
slide.
Please
now,
also,
if
you
want
once
you've,
got
yourself
ready
and
you
want
to
help
your
community.
There
is
a
great
way
to
do
that.
You
can
join
cert.
Our
Citizens
emergency
response,
team
and
I
do
have
a
proclamation
now
to
read
for
cert,
and
we
can
just
leave
this
slide
up
and
if
this
inspires
folks,
please
sign
up,
because
this
is
something
an
emergency.
B
Cert
comes
in
really
handy
and
they
were
very
helpful
all
throughout
the
pandemic.
Helping
us
reach
people.
So
this
is
a
proclamation,
whereas
the
events
of
September
11th
2001
made
clear
that
trained
volunteers
are
invaluable
in
saving
lives
and
reducing
injuries.
And
whereas,
since
its
founding
on
September
10
2002,
the
Arlington
Community
Emergency
Response
Team
cert
has
honored
its
mission
to
help
save
lives
and
reduce
injuries
in
Arlington.
B
In
a
major
disaster
when
activated
by
the
County
Department
of
Public
Safety
communication
Emergency
Management,
by
providing
training
so
that
cert
volunteers
have
the
Knowledge
and
Skills
to
save
lives
and
reduce
injuries
wherever
they
might
be.
And
whereas
volunteers
from
the
Arlington
cert
support,
Arlington
County
departments
and
Community
Partners
by
educating
the
population
about
preparing
for
emergencies,
including
natural
disasters,
pandemics
and
potential
terrorist
attacks,
thereby
reducing
fatalities
and
economic
costs
to
our
families
and
households.
B
And
whereas,
since
May,
2nd,
2020,
Arlington,
cert
trained
and
Affiliated
persons
have
supported
Arlington,
County,
Emergency,
Management
and
other
Public
Safety
departments
to
save
lives
and
reduce
injuries
in
the
County's
covid-19
response.
And
whereas,
given
that
members
of
the
Arlington
Community
are
likely
to
be
at
the
scene
of
an
incident
prior
to
the
arrival
of
First
Responders.
And
those
few
minutes
can
mean
the
difference
between
life
and
death.
B
Now,
therefore,
Katie
Crystal,
chair
of
the
County
Board
of
Arlington
Virginia,
does
hereby
proclaim
the
20th
anniversary,
September
10
2022,
as
Arlington's
cert
day
in
Arlington
County
to
promote
and
celebrate
volunteerism
and
its
profound
Community
impact,
and
you
know
I
will
just
say
that
the
that
terrible
accident
and
fire
we
had
at
Ireland's
Four
Courts
and
actually
there
was
an
emergency
responder
who
happened
to
be
on
the
scene,
not
working
at
the
time
and
volunteers
that
just
just
jumped
in
and
if
you
read
about
it,
it's
just
it's.
B
It's
really
pretty
amazing
and
I
think
absolutely
saved
lives
that
day.
So
you
never
know
when
you're
going
to
be
needed
and
it
really
helps
to
have
some
training
so
encourage
people
to
sign
up
if
they'd
like-
and
that
concludes
my
emergency
month
and
Proclamation
preparedness
month.
Proclamations,
Etc
and
I
have
a
report.
B
If
I
might
a
little
bit
on
my
work
with
a
Commission
on
Aging,
okay
and
I,
see
we're
gonna
see
we
have
a
video
I'd
like
to
show
we'll
see
if
it
can
work
and
we'll
see
if
our
staff
can
pull
it
up,
I'm
the
liaison
to
the
commission
on
aging
and
that
one
of
the
things
that
they've
done
working
with
our
vision,
zero,
it's
pretty
cool,
is
a
walking
school
bus
and
it
made
the
national
news
and
I
think
we
could
play
this
video.
Hopefully
they
advertisements.
G
H
E
Hi
the
bus
is
here:
oh
277
year
old,
Andrea
Walker
is
not
your
traditional
bus
driver,
I
heard
about
the
best
thing.
I
wanted
to
do
it,
but
Walker's
bus
she's,
leading
this
kind
left
right.
Okay,
guys,
it's
called
an
intergenerational
walking
School
Bus.
Once
a
week,
senior
citizens
walk
with
students
to
Oak
Ridge
Elementary
in
Arlington
Virginia,
the.
E
J
E
B
So
that
I
just
love
that
clip
and
it's
such
a
wonderful
idea-
there
are
20
students,
I,
think
signed
up
now,
they're
20
more
on
the
waiting
list,
so
they're
really
working
on
on
trying
to
get
people
to
help
out
it's
great
for
the
scene.
It
gets
everybody
out
walking
it.
You
know,
builds
connections,
it's
really
a
great
thing
and
I
think
if
people
would
like
to
sign
up
for
commissions,
I'll
use
this
as
a
blanket
kind
of
advertisement.
B
We
need
you
and
it
can
be
really
satisfying
to
work
on
one
of
our
commissions
and
we
have
some
50
or
more.
So
there
is
something
for
everyone,
no
matter
what
you're
interested,
we
probably
have
a
commission
for
that,
so
encourage
people
to
check
it
out.
Obviously,
you
can
just
go
online
and
and
check
out
on
commissions
and
find
something
that
I
think
that
might
suit
you
and
try
visiting
a
committee
for
a
while
and
see
if
it's
something
you'd
like
to
do
we'd
love
to
have
you.
Thank
you.
A
K
You,
madam
chair,
so
just
to
update
you
on
some
of
the
recent
events
at
Cog.
The
biggest
item
in
the
news
for
Cog
is
our
search
for
a
new
executive
director.
After
more
than
10
years,
Chuck
Bean,
the
incumbent
has
decided
to
move
on
and
pursue
a
more
leisurely
life
than
running
the
Council
of
governments
organization,
and
we
are
very
appreciative
of
Chuck's
service
over
the
years,
but
we
don't
have
the
time
to
relax
on
that.
K
We
have
to
find
a
successor,
and
so
I
am
a
leading
committee
that
is
guiding
the
search
for
his
replacement
and
I'm
happy
to
report
that,
after
engaging
a
search
firm,
we
have
a
robust,
National
search
underway
with
apparently
lots
of
interest
from
throughout
the
region
and
also
throughout
3
throughout
the
country.
So
we
look
forward
over
the
coming
months
to
hopefully
having
a
choice
of
a
great
successor,
Mr
Bean
intends
to
leave
after
we
are
able
to
secure
his
replacement
and
to
provide
some
time
to
orient
them
to
the
organization
and
to
the
region.
K
K
So
we
adopted
a
resolution
which
established
two
things:
one
a
clearing
house
which
is
made
up,
which
will
be
made
up
of
Cog
staffers,
who
will
collate
all
of
the
informations
out
there
in
the
region,
best
practices
in
planning
and
permitting
and
deployment
of
electric
vehicle
infrastructure,
so
that
jurisdictions
that
are
not
as
far
along
and
their
planning
can
benefit.
From
some
of
the
work
that's
already
been
done.
We
can
also
take
advantage
of
other
regions
in
the
country
who
may
be
moving
in
this
direction.
K
Secondarily,
we
also
established
a
working
group
which
will
be
made
up
of
local
experts
who
will
be
joined
by
some
of
the
leading
researchers
and
also
industry
practitioners
who
will
help
Advance,
whatever
the
those
goals
that
come
from
the
substantial
work
that
the
Clearinghouse
will
undertake,
we
will
have
a
regional
plan
that,
hopefully
will
will
move
us
toward
a
more
climate
resilient
region
by
2050,
which
is
the
ultimate
goal
that
we're
working
under
and
then.
Thirdly,
we
also
had
a
an
effort
to
really
kick
start.
K
Another
underappreciated
element
of
resiliency,
and
that
is
our
Region's
water
supply.
Three-Quarter,
is
more
than
three-quarters.
In
fact,
of
the
Region's
water,
the
national
capital
region
comes
from
the
Potomac
River.
It
is
the
sole
source
for
more
than
three
quarters
of
our
drinking
water
and
for
the
District
of
Columbia
and
Arlington.
That
number
is
100
percent.
All
of
it
comes
from
the
tone,
comes
from
the
Potomac
and
through
the
federally
managed
Washington
Aqueduct.
K
Now,
even
though
the
health
of
the
Potomac
River,
the
levels
of
the
Potomac
River
are
very
good,
very
good,
very
strong
song,
and
even
though
the
Potomac
is
a
carefully
guarded
and
monitored
water
supply,
still
a
risk,
we
still
are
at
risk
with
it
being
a
sole
source.
In
a
time
of
increased
climate
change,
we
are
vulnerable
to
Drought
that
may
affect
the
Potomac,
we're
also
at
risk
for
any
spills
or
heaven
forbid,
any
other
intentional
acts
of
Destruction
which
could
contaminate
the
water
supply.
A
C
You,
madam
chair,
so
I
I
participated
in
the
Metropolitan
Council
of
governments,
Human
Services
Committee
just
last
week,
and
the
topic
of
the
conversation
was
about
the
the
ongoing
arrivals
of
migrants
that
are
who
are
Bust
from
the
states
of
Texas
and
Arizona,
mostly
so
in
in
Late
July,
that's
the
previous
moment
of
touching
base
and
that
the
the
regional
forward
Coalition
has
released
a
resolution
reacting
to
the
issue
that
then
began
expressing
support
for
legal
migrants
arriving
to
the
Washington
metropolitan
region
and
in
the
meantime,
though,
so
since
that
means
since
May,
when
the
first
bus
arrived
at
Union
Station
we
have
received,
according
to
the
district's
count
9400,
to
give
you
an
idea.
C
The
first,
the
first
meeting
I
had
on
that
it
was
seven
thousand.
So
it's
about
you
know
2
000
people
a
month
or
40
buses
a
month
or
every
day
there
is
more
than
one
bus
arriving.
That
means
so
and
and
so
I
I
must
say,
and
and
it's
important
to
clarify
these
people
are
Asylum
Seekers,
they're
humanitarian
parodies.
They
are
legally
in
the
United
States,
they
surrender
themselves
at
the
border
and
they
follow
a
a
the
legal
process.
C
They
have
sponsors
or
sponsoring
agencies,
so
they
are
absolutely
embedded
in
a
system
that
processes
their
application
out
of
the
aforementioned
number.
Most
of
them
need
to
be
guided
into
their
final
destination.
They
have
final
destinations
only
about
10
percent
minimum
10
between
10
and
20
percent.
We
were
told
stay
in
the
region,
so
the
district,
however,
has
declared,
has
sought
to
declare
the
state
of
emergency
in
order
to
to
have
a
jurisdiction.
C
First
of
all,
to
meet
all
buses
and
facilitate
onward
travel
to
triage
the
needs
of
people
who
are
arriving
in
the
metropolitan
area
and
attend
to
their
basic
needs
and
then
set
up
a
system
distinct
from
the
homeless,
Services
System
that
is
tailored
to
the
situation
and
and
and
and
and
works
to
respond
to
this
humanitarian
crisis
as
as
as
it
unfolds.
So,
this
hasn't
I
asked
the
county
manager
and
our
department
of
human
services.
C
This
hasn't
arrived
yet
in
Arlington,
or
at
least
the
people
who
have
arrived
in
Arlington,
are
it's
a
small
number
which
we
can
perfectly
absorb
within
the
the
business
as
usual
scenario
of
how
our
human
services
department
works,
but
that
that
doesn't
mean
that
the
situation
has
ended
or
is
Transit
voice.
This
situation
seems
to
be
ongoing,
so
that
means
that
the
need
for
a
regional
coordination
on
on
this
on
this
matter
will
will
be,
will
be
significant
in
the
months
to
come,
especially
as
as
winter
will
be
sitting
in.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
Mr
cartonis
I
appreciate
that,
and
a
great
example
of
why
that
Regional
coordination
matters
a
great
deal
all
right.
Any
Regional
ports
I
have
missed
seeing
none.
It
is
that
time
of
year,
in
which
we
welcome
our
treasure
and
her
hard-working
team
to
talk
about
delinquent
taxes
and
resources
available
to
those
to
ensure
that
they
don't
end
up
on
the
delinquent
list.
So
I'm
still
up
abbots
nice
to
see
you
and
your
team.
We
welcome
you
to
the
board
office.
F
This
is
a
little
too
short
for
me.
I,
don't
know.
Yeah
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair,
County,
board
members,
Mr
Schwartz
I'm,
here
to
report
on
Arlington
County's
tax
delinquencies
for
FY
22..
F
F
Well,
what
a
difference
a
year
makes
my
team
achieved
a
delinquency
rate
of
0.161,
which
is
almost
8
percent
lower
than
their
goal
and
10
percent
lower
than
the
prior
year.
Over
the
past
eight
years
since
I
have
been
Treasurer,
the
delinquency
rate
has
decreased
a
whopping
52
percent,
and
if
you
go
back
10
years,
it's
declined.
72
percent,
in
fact,
in
the
30
years
that
the
treasurer's
office
has
been
keeping
track,
delinquent
taxes
have
never
been
lower
than
they
were
at
the
end
of
FY
22.,
and
you
know
the
old
adage.
F
If
everyone
pays,
everyone
pays
less
to
put
this
in
perspective.
We
were
tasked
with
collecting
1.02
billion
dollars
in
levied
taxes.
Pareto
Principle,
80
percent
of
consequences
come
from.
20
percent
of
causes
is
in
full
force
here,
personal
property
taxes
accounted
for
only
13
of
the
levy,
but
an
astounding
94
of
delinquent
taxes.
At
your
end,
The
Lion's
Share
of
the
levy,
of
course,
is
real
estate
taxes
and
last
October.
F
F
The
second
is
paying
overdue.
Taxes
becomes
more
difficult
with
each
installment
that
goes
delinquent,
paying
one
delinquent
installment
is
hard
paying.
Eight
delinquent
installments
is
nearly
impossible,
and
finally,
we
are
the
Canary
in
the
coal
mine.
We
often
are
the
first
to
recognize
that
someone
eligible
for
tax
relief
for
the
elderly
and
disabled
is
in
need.
We
make
sure
that
they
know
about
the
program
that's
available
to
them,
and
then
we
work
closely
with
DHS
to
see
if
other
services
are
needed.
F
Ten
months
later,
last
August,
you
can
see
in
the
map
before
you
that
the
vast
majority
of
those
delinquencies
from
the
previous
October
were
collected.
In
fact,
total
real
estate
delinquencies
over
the
last
20
years
at
year
end
were
only
ninety
nine
thousand
dollars,
the
second
lowest
in
Arlington's
history.
F
We
can
achieve
achieve
such
a
low
delinquency
rate,
because
we
recognize
that
there
are
basically
three
different
types
of
delinquent
taxpayers
and
we
have
different
tools
for
each
of
them.
My
favorite
is
focusing
on
the
unintentional
delinquent
strong
communication
reminders
ease
of
payments.
They
go
a
long
way
to
reducing
accidental
delinquencies.
An
ounce
of
prevention
is
worth
a
pound
of
cure,
and
that
is
certainly
the
the
truth.
In
this
business
we
had
over
17
000
cap
accounts
created
just
last
year
alone.
We
send
tons
of
email
reminders.
F
We
have
Robo
calls
right
before
a
due
date
and
we
resend
out
returned
mail,
both
tax
bills
and
assessment
letters
from
Drea,
because
we
need
to
keep
track
of
of
where
people
are.
We
had
over
22
000
automatic
Bank
debits
last
year,
allowing
people
to
set
it
and
forget
it
with
our
automatic
bank
debit
program
can
decrease
accidental
delinquencies.
F
F
F
Last
year
we
were
at
lover
run.
We
had
a
very
positive
response
from
our
community
members
that
went
there,
so
we
continued
with
lover
run,
but
looking
at
the
data,
there
was
a
concentration
of
people
around
Arlington
Mill
who
traditionally
pay
in
person.
So
we've
decided
this
year
to
open
a
second
in-person
satellite
location.
We
will
be
at
these
two
locations:
September
26th
through
the
30th
from
9
A.M
to
6
p.m.
F
Moving
on
to
the
unable
I
have
some
actually
good
news.
We
you
know
that
people
sometimes
encounter
situations
that
affect
their
ability
to
pay
taxes,
loss
of
income,
medical
bills,
urgent
home
repairs
are
just
some
examples.
Our
taxpayer
assistance
program,
fondly
referred
to
as
tap
is
a
great
resource
for
those
people.
F
Just
as
a
reminder,
tap
is
a
short-term
loan
that
is
arranged
through
our
partner,
John
Marshall
Bank.
The
loan
requires
no
credit
check
and,
after
a
small
origination
fee,
there
is
no
additional
interest
for
the
loan
over
my
tenure
as
Treasurer
we've
had
that
bank
fund
three,
almost
3.5
million
dollars
in
taxes
for
people
that
are
that
are
struggling
and
tap
just
got
a
whole
lot
better.
This
year,
John
Marshall
bank
has
permanently
reduced
the
origination
fee.
F
F
And
finally,
you
know
that
there
are
those
that
just
don't
want
to
pay
their
taxes
willingly.
We
still
have
the
same
collection,
powers
and
tools
that
we
have
always
had
liens
wage
garnishments
property
seizure,
Court
action.
Last
year
we
collected
over
10
million
dollars
worth
of
delinquent
taxes
through
enforcement
action.
F
Looking
forward,
our
goal
for
FY
23
is
0.147,
it's
roughly
a
10
year-over-year
decrease
and
after
a
10
decline
this
year,
that's
going
to
be
a
big
ask,
but
I
have
absolute
faith
in
our
team.
Our
operations
team
is
going
to
continue
to
work
diligently
to
prevent
delinquency.
Our
technology
Team
Works
to
help
us
analyze
the
data,
so
we
can
prioritize
and
work
efficiently
and
our
compliance
team
will
continue
to
work
closely
with
our
taxpayers
to
get
them
back
on
track.
F
We
know,
though,
that
it
goes
beyond
just
our
team.
We
work
very
closely
with
many
county
departments,
the
Department
of
Human
Services,
as
I
mentioned,
Environmental
Services
technology,
Services,
Parks
and
Rec,
the
Sheriff's
Office
and,
of
course,
your
continued
support
of
me
and
my
office.
We
know
it
takes
a
village
and
we
are
very
grateful.
A
A
As
we
talked
about
it
great
length
during
the
budget
process
this
year,
we
knew
that
there
would
be
fluctuations
in
the
evaluation
of
individuals
Vehicles,
particularly
it
was
showing
up
in
terms
of
Assessments
for
the
personal
property
tax
that
has
come
to
fruition.
We've
done
our
best
to
explain
that,
rather
than
treat
any
additional
values
on
cars
as
a
windfall,
we
actually
spent
it
so
to
speak
on
tax
relief
by
eliminating
the
regressive
decal
fee.
At
the
urging
and
suggestion
of
our
treasurer,
of
course,
because
that
was
a
regressive
tax.
B
F
Go
through
the
commissioner
revenues
office,
Ingrid
maroy.
They
have
on
their
website
a
way
that
you
can
I
think
just
contest
your
your
vehicle
value.
B
F
Do
they
work
from
home
and
they
are
in
the
office
Tuesdays
and
Thursdays
By
Appointment.
We
were
given
the
wonderful
news
that
they
are
going
to
be
in
person
the
week
before
the
due
date,
full
time
in
in
the
Bosman
building.
So
we're
very
happy
to
see
that.
B
F
We
we
did,
we
were
open
to
the
public
I
think
there
was
a
short
period
of
time
where
we
were
closed
at
the
very
beginning,
but
open
remotely.
We
sh
very
quickly
after
that
went
into
the
office,
and
what
we
had
to
do
is
we
needed
about
15
people
there
to
just
keep
the
lights
on
and
open
the
mail
and
apply
the
checks.
F
I
actually
banned
everyone
for
else
from
the
office,
because
we
needed
those
15
people
to
stay
safe
after
the
I
think
we
we
came
back
in
for
that
October
5th
deadline
and
we've
been
open
to
the
public
ever
since
we
did
close
for
a
week
when
between
Christmas
and
New
Year's,
when
when
when
Omicron
hit,
that
was
pretty.
That
was
pretty
significant.
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you
great
well,
thank
you
very
much
for
all
of
the
work
you're
doing
and
as
your
presentation
shows
and
and
the
comments
from
our
chair,
I
mean
I.
Think
a
major
strength
of
your
office
in
a
way
is
compassion.
Empathy
figuring
out,
what's
going
to
make
it
easier
figuring
out,
most
people
really
want
to
pay
their
taxes.
They
may
need
some
help
and
figuring
out
what
support
they
need.
I
think
that
just
it
really
helps
make
Arlington
a
great
Community
for
everybody.
Thank
you.
F
You
know
Libby
I
will
tell
you
when,
when
the
pandemic
really
brought
a
couple
of
things
to
light
and
and
the
the
regressive
decal
or
motor
vehicle
license,
fee
really
came
to
light
when
we
were
doing
payment
plans
for
individuals
and
people
were
calling
for
a
payment
plan,
a
six-month
plan
payment
plan
for
their
66
dollar
decal
fee,
and
that's
when
I
realized
that
it
was
hitting.
F
You
know
it
is
true
that
there
are
some
families
that
have
you
know
very
high
priced
cars
that
also
have
a
junker
and
they're
going
to
get
a
little
relief.
But
but
the
honest
to
God
truth
is
that
those
people
that
it
was
primarily
impacting
and
we're
very
much
in
need-
and
it's
like
I
said
in
my
the
budget
presentation-
it
was
a.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
you
had
a
couple
of
sayings
that
you
sprinkled
in
there
Canary
in
the
coma
and
a
few
others.
The
one
that
strikes
me
is
what
gets
measured
gets
done
and
clearly
you
are
measuring
this
very
closely.
I,
definitely
remember
two
years
ago
or
three
years
ago:
I
guess
it
would
be
when
it
had
been
the
lowest
you'd
ever
we'd
ever
reached,
and
so
I'm
actually
I'm
very
surprised
that,
after
how
difficult
covet
has
been
that
we're
already
there
again
I
guess
just
a
last.
D
So
thank
you
so
much
for
the
work,
and
that
means
the
whole
team.
The
one
thought
that
I
have
is
is
we
we
are
receiving
some
emails
regarding
Car
payments
and
that's
an
area
that
I
just
like
to
follow
up.
We
have
made
a
lot
of
adjustments,
but
it's
still,
the
value
of
cars
is
still
hitting
some
people
significantly
and
so
I,
don't
know
if
you
had
any
comments,
but
I'm
just
gonna
really
be
thinking
about.
D
F
I
did
talk
to
Miss
Crystal
about
this
as
well.
One
of
the
things
that
my
office
has
been
doing
and
we've
been
getting
a
lot
of
emails,
is
that
we
are
telling
them
that
their
car
bill
went
up
because
of
the
vehicle
values
and
we're
also
telling
them,
though,
what
their
bill
would
have
been
had
the
County
Board
not
taken
the
action
that
they
did
and
oftentimes.
That
means
you
know
you.
F
It
would
have
been
274
dollars
more
than
it
was
you
know
than
the
bill
you
got
was
and
the
other
side
note
and
I.
This
probably
is
anecdotal
and
not
fair,
but
my
son
just
sold
his
vehicle.
It
was.
It
was
valued
a
little
bit
more
than
three
thousand
dollars
and
he
he
sold
it
for
6
800.,
so
wow.
If
you
can
sell
a
car,
it
would
be
a
good
time
to
do
that.
Thank.
A
That's
right,
that's
right!
Well,
anything
too
I
mean
one
of
the
observations.
I
know,
Mr
Le
Pap
has
made
that
we're
trying
to
understand
as
well
is
that
we're
all
used
to
our
cars
being
depreciating
assets
and
we're
used
to
seeing
that
bill
go
down
every
year
as
opposed
to
home
values
and
so
I
think
it
is
a
mindset,
shift
and
don't
begrudge
anybody
who's
a
little
upset.
C
You,
madam
chair,
my
name
Treasurer.
This
was
a
very
great
report,
I'm
happy
that
that
the
relief
on
the
you
know
the
personal
property
tax
works
and
and
I
fully
as
align
with
actually
with
you
and
my
colleagues
in
assessing
that
this
was
really
an
unjust
tax.
In
many
I
mean
the
the
coffee
and
I'm
happy
that
this
this
is
gone
now.
I
want
to
ask
you
two
things.
First
of
all
on
this
on
under
the
category
of
unable.
F
C
So
the
people
who
cannot
afford
to
pay
their
taxes
for
different
reasons,
tap
is
one
way
eventually
tap
assumes
that
they
will
be
able
to
pay
them
in
installments
Etc.
But
what?
But
we
have
also
relief
programs
for
those
who
cannot
really
afford
their
taxes,
especially
people
on
on
fixed
incomes.
Etc.
Do
we
have
an
Insight
of
whether
the
existing
programs
of
relief
are
taking?
You
know,
are
used
by
those
who
need
them
or
do.
L
F
Yes
and
we
I
think
with
that's
where
we
are
the
Canary
in
the
coal
mine,
we
do
recognize
when
you
know
and
we're
constantly
sorting
the
data
to
try
and
figure
out
who
has
has
maybe
forgotten
to
apply
this
year
or
or
whatnot,
and
we
go
and
visit
them.
We
get
the
process
started,
we
have
them
felt,
you
know,
sign
an
application
and
then
we
work
with
the
Department
of
Human
Services
it
it's.
F
It
can
be
very,
very
sad
if
we've
also
are
dealing
with
some
mental
health
issues
where
they
don't
want
to
apply
for
tax
relief,
that
that
tends
to
be
a
real
struggle,
because
at
what
point
you
know
we
we
can't
do
it
for
them.
Nor
can
DHS
we're
lucky
if
we
can
get
a
guardian
appointed
or
they
it
really
is
DHS.
It's
not
it's,
not
in
my
bailiwick
at
all,
but
we
are.
We
do
try
to.
F
You
know
contact
DHS
when
we
think
that
someone
is
is
suffering
and
you
know
oftentimes.
The
first
thing
we
do
is
go
to,
for
example
des
and
ask
it:
well.
Is
the
water
still
on,
and
sometimes
we
find
that
it's
not
so
we
we
are
gonna.
We
all
are
working
together
to
try
and
address
those
things.
I
can't
tell
you
off
the
top
of
my
head.
How
many
people
have
applied
for
exemptions
versus
deferrals,
but
I
know
that
there
is.
There
is
a
broad
use
of
of
those
programs.
Thank.
C
You
very
much
I'm
I'm,
particularly
interested
in
this
and
the
for
an
additional
reason.
This
year,
I
mean
the
cost
of
living.
Not
only
you
know,
real
estate
costs
or
real
estate
prices
are
going
up.
The
cost
of
living
has
gone
up
significantly,
so
these
these
individuals
may
may
be
facing
multiple
impositions,
multiple
pressures,
so
if
we
have
any
way
to
you,
know
to
to
detect
them
and
and
provide
the
appropriate
assistance
would
be
of
importance
for
me
and
for
for
your
office
and
for
everybody.
C
The
second,
the
second
thing
I
wanted
to
ask:
you
is
about
the
commercial
delinquencies.
So
do
we
have
any
decide
how
many
small
businesses
are
affected
or
what?
If
is
there
any
Trend
that
is
Salient
this
year
or
different
than
other
years?
You.
F
F
Ingrid
would
certainly
know
more
about
that
than
I
do
okay,
fair,
but,
yes,
we
have
and
we're
we.
We
are
seeing
declines
in
both
in
order
to
achieve
the
delinquency
rate
that
we
achieved.
We
had
to
see
declines
in
both
business,
tangible
and
in
vehicle
taxes,
and
we
did.
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
Ms
de
la
pava.
It's
it's
amazing.
You
come
come
with
a
presentation
every
year
and
even
when
things
Bleak
around
us,
you
succeed
in
always
bringing
us
good
news,
which
is
really
terrific
and
and
the
best
news
that
I
hear
is
not
really
in
the
astonishing
astonishingly
low
delinquency
rate.
K
Even
though
that's
the
headline
thing,
what
that
speaks
to
me
from
a
narrative
perspective
is
that
you
are
really
organized
in
such
a
way
where
you're
narrowing
the
the
number
to
really
those
who
are
just
unwilling,
but
for
people
who
are
simply
having
difficulty
or
for
a
time,
ephemerally
unable
you're
figuring
out
a
way
to
keep
them
in
compliance
which
really
just
speaks
to
the
elastic
efforts
of
your
your
agency
to
be
more
than
just
the
tax
collector,
so
I
I
just
really
want
to
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
K
F
Thank
you,
Mr
Dorsey
and
I
will
tell
you
that
finally,
one
other
jurisdiction
decided
that
that
tap
loan
was
a
really
good
idea.
So
the
city
of
Fairfax
offers
tap
loans
now
and
I'm
sure
that
that
the
additional
business
for
them
was
part
of
the
the
reason
that
they
lowered
the
origination
fee.
So
I
think
that
is
the
some
really
exciting
news.
I
know
that
John
Marshall
bank
has
always
been
there
for
us
during
times
of
need.
F
K
A
Terrific,
that's
great
all
right!
Thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us.
Thank
you
to
you
and
to
your
team
for
the
great
work
on
that
as
Mr
Dorsey
indicated
spectacularly
the
low
number
this
year.
Thank
you
congratulate
you
and
thank
you
bye-bye.
A
All
right,
I
believe
we
go
next
to
our
managers
report
and
Mr
manager.
I
think
you
have
two
for
us
this
afternoon.
Is
that
right.
M
Yes,
Madam
chair,
we're
going
to
start
off
with
an
update
on
covid
and
move
on
to
a
discussion
of
commercial
resiliency,
so
wanted
to
give
you
and
the
community
an
update.
You
know
it's
been
two
and
a
half
years,
two
and
a
half
years
since
the
first
case
of
covet
was
reported
in
Arlington,
and
in
that
time
the
county
has
experienced
more
than
60
000
cases
had
more
than
eight
hundred
thousand
PCR
tests
and
more
than
a
half
a
million
vaccines,
as
we
continue
to
learn
to
cope
with
the
pandemic.
M
So
today
nearly
9
and
10
arlingtonians
have
at
least
one
coveted
19
vaccine
Therapeutics
are
available
within
five
miles
for
90
percent
of
Americans
and
testing
is
readily
accessible
and
last
month,
when
we
ended
the
local
emergency
declaration,
we
did
that
I
think
was
at
the
appropriate
time,
doesn't
mean
that
covet
is
no
longer
a
threat,
but
we're
in
a
new
chapter.
N
Thank
you,
Mr
manager.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
come
before
you
chair,
Crystal,
and
to
all
the
County
board
members
to
update
you
on
where
we
stand
with
covet
and
covet
efforts
in
Arlington
we'll
provide
a
quick
overview
of
the
pandemic.
Where
the
case
is
testing
and
vaccine
Milestones
have
been
then
provide
an
update
on
the
latest
Community
level
results
for
Arlington
regarding
transmission
and
Community
level,
metrics
from
CDC.
N
Following
an
update
on
changes
to
the
Arlington
website
and
finally
give
a
review
on
the
strategies
we
have
available
to
solve
the
spread
of
the
virus.
So
we
can
go
to
the
next.
Thank
you.
So
this
is
a
variation
on
the
usual
pandemic
slide
that
you
unfortunately
become
familiar
with
over
a
three-year
period.
What
staff
were
able
to
do
was
color
coded
by
the
various
variants
so
that
it's
kind
of
a
retrospective
and
then
by
year.
N
So
you
can
also
see
that,
while
initially
given
the
scale
of
this
pandemic,
the
number
of
cases
in
2022
were
just
quite
extraordinary
because
of
how
contagious
the
virus
was.
But
you'll
see
that
the
vast
majority
of
deaths
happened
in
2020
and
2021..
N
So
it
just
tries
to
put
things
into
context
and
also
for
those
who
will
look
at
this
later
kind
of
a
history
of
the
pandemic,
including
the
various
orders
from
the
governor's
level,
as
well
as
the
ending
of
the
state
of
emergency
at
this
Virginia
level,
and
here
in
Arlington
and
I,
think
it
just.
We
have
to
just
continue
to
remember
that
the
initial
part
with
all
of
these
test
results
in
2020
and
2021
were
capturing
almost
all
of
the
tests
and
as
cases
but
as
we
started.
N
Having
more
home
based
testing
were,
of
course,
not
capturing
all
of
the
cases.
So
if
this
is
where
we
are
right
now,
you
can
only
imagine
how
many
tests
are
occurring
and
not
all
of
those,
of
course,
are
positive,
but
we're
missing
positives,
and
this
is
what
happens
in
flu
season.
So
there's
still
a
lot
of
covet
out
there,
but
fortunately,
as
as
our
manager
has
said,
we
have
more
tools
at
our
disposal
to
both
prevent
and
treat
so
and
I.
N
N
If
you
look
at
the
total
deaths
per
year,
this
is
once
again
another
evidence
of
where
averages
can
sometimes
hide
the
disparities.
So
please
note
that
the
risks
for
death
by
race
and
or
ethnicity
was
highest
for
non-hispanic
black
arlingtonians,
followed
by
Hispanic
arlingtonians,
compared
with
a
non-hispanic
white
arlingtonians.
This
pattern
has
remained
the
same
in
2021,
though
the
rates
of
death
are
much
lower
compared
to
2020.
The
data
for
2022
are
not
yet
available
from
these
sources.
Next
slide
foreign.
N
Let
me
remind
every
one
of
the
other
risks
of
covid
the
risk
of
covet
exposure
and
the
risk
of
coveted
complications.
The
categories
listed
here
are,
and
the
groups
listed
under
them
are
what
we
have
known:
pre-covet
that
continue
to
apply
to
covet
and
so
just
focus
on
the
increased
risk
and
those
are
impact
of
higher
exposure.
N
Fortunately,
the
options
for
mitigation
have
increased
over
time,
and
hopefully
we
can
have
some
better
outcomes.
There
next
slide
just
wanted
to
remind
people
that
various
testing
Milestones
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
this
in
detail,
but
did
want
to
highlight
the
fact
that
very
early
on
under
the
leadership
of
Dr,
Miller
and
dipson
getting
testing
here
in
the
community.
It
was
a
very
critical
piece
to
be
able
to
help
normalize
access
to
these
things
and
so
having
the
Curative
kiosks
and
other
resources
since
January
2021
and
which
continue
helps
level
the
playing
field.
N
The
vaccine
Milestone
superimposed
on
this
as
well
you'll,
remember
that
vaccine
was
only
available
at
the
end
of
2020
and
fortunately,
vaccine
and
boosters
have
become
increasingly
available.
As
a
reminder,
vaccine
was
designed
to
reduce
the
chances
for
serious
illness
leading
to
hospitalization
and
death,
and
that
is
how
true
vaccine
was
not
designed
primarily
to
prevent
infection,
and
obviously
you
can
see
that
when
you
have
a
peak
of
close
to
4
000
at
the
beginning
of
2002
and
as
I've
said,
we
don't
capture
all
of
it.
N
One
of
the
this
is
the
pitch
that
once
again,
it's
never
too
late
to
get
primary
series
if
you
you're
the
15
that
did
not
get
vaccinated
there.
If
you're
not
do
not
want
the
MRNA
vaccine.
Well,
novavax
is
now
available
in
our
community.
It's
done
through
non-mra
MRA,
more
traditional
methodologies
to
develop.
N
If
that's,
what
would
convince
people
to
get
it
and
then,
of
course
the
boosters
are
here
and
we're
encouraging
everyone
who's,
two
months
out
from
their
last
booster,
to
actually
get
it,
whereas
we've
done
well
with
primary
series
boosters
we're
much
further
behind
and
we
just
want
to
protect
as
many
people
as
possible.
Next
slide,
Switching
gears
a
little
bit.
I
know
people
are
familiar
with
both
types
of
CDC
metrics
and
so
for
those
who
still
hold
on
to
some
of
that
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they
know.
N
We've
been
following
that
as
well.
What's
in
pink
on
the
bottom
of
that
slide
is
the
the
original
metric
from
CDC
Community
transmission
level
and
that's
through
9,
16
2022
and
in
general,
that
looked
at
the
case
rate
per
100
000
and
the
percent
positivity,
and
in
that
metric
it's
high.
All
it
says
is
that
you
know,
as
I
said
before,
up
to
this
point,
we
still
are
seeing
a
lot
of
disease,
but
fortunately
it's
less
than
it
was
before
and
in
the
top
one
it's
about
Community
level,
which
is
really
about.
N
Do
we
have
the
hospital
resources,
the
medical
resources
to
actually
withstand
a
serious
onslaught
of
disease
that
would
perhaps
the
system
and
fortunately
we're
doing
quite
well
and
it's
low.
We
are,
of
course,
moving
into
flu
season
and,
while
some
experts
have
said
well,
you
know
there's
no
real
reason
to
believe
that
there
will
be
a
spike
in
covet
cases,
I'd
like
to
that's
a
diagnosis
of
exclusion.
N
I'll
I'll
conclude
that
next
spring
I
want
to
be
wrong,
but
we've
seen
every
single
year
of
this
pandemic
there
have
been
at
least
three
surges
and
fall
is
a
time
in
winter
when
people
are
inside
and
congregate.
So
I
want
to
be
wrong.
I
will
come
back
admit
that
I'm
wrong
I'll
be
very
happy
with
that.
So
I
want
everyone
to
think
about
that
that
as
we're
going
in
get
your
coveted
vaccine,
if
you
didn't
get
protected,
get
your
booster
and
please
get
your
flu
shot
next
slide.
N
This
assists
the
visual
of
the
community
levels
and
just
showing
that
Northern
Virginia
and
the
part
you
can't
see
very
well
the
DC
Metro
Area,
the
district
and
the
Maryland
suburbs,
all
serving
green.
So
we
have
the
resources
or
Hospital
systems
at
the
moment
are
not
being
overtagged.
So
this
is
all
good
and
let's
hope
that
that
continues
for
the
long
possible
next
slide.
N
The
next
thing
that
we
did
was
update
the
vaccine
schedules
for
all
ages
to
reflect
updated,
bivalent,
booster
recommendations,
and
so
hopefully
people
will
see
that
the
material
on
the
website
now
is
even
easier
to
follow
you.
Clearly,
it's
essentially
reduced
down
to.
Did
you
complete
your
primary
series
or
not?
If
you
didn't,
do
the
primary
get
that
first
and
then
two
months
after
essentially
that
you
can
go
ahead
and
get
your
new
booster,
the
old
boosters
are
not
available.
They
are
no
longer
considered
effective
and
they've.
N
So,
as
the
data
source
has
become
a
bit
harder
to
get
from
the
various
things,
we've
decided
to
make
it
easier
for
our
community
to
find
those
materials
on
CDC
and
vdh
versus
the
resources
we've
been
using
to
try
to
repackage
things.
So
many
of
you
are
familiar
with
the
three
pictures
of
the
virus
on
our
current
dashboard.
N
What
we've
done
is
try
to
create
One
dashboard,
where
people
can
get
the
nine
major
topic
areas
about
cover
that
people
are
interested
and
to
go
directly
to
either
the
Virginia
site
or
CDC
site
and
to
get
us
close
to
the
Arlington
data
as
possible.
It's
all
going
to
be
in
one
place,
and
this
will
start
on
the
website.
October
1st
and
my
final
slide
is
the
slide
on
Swiss
cheese.
N
So
you've
seen
that,
based
on
our
Cova
Journey
from
the
beginning
to
the
present
and
the
various
tools
and
mitigation
strategies
now
available,
such
as
testing
and
vaccine,
and
given
that
there
will
continue
to
be
groups
of
greater
risk
of
exposure
and
complications
for
continuous
her
contagious
communicable
diseases
such
as
covid.
There
are
things
everyone
can
do
to
reduce
the
risk
of
spread
to
themselves
and
others
the
more
strategies
you
use.
You
can
slow
the
spread
of
covid-19
in
various
other
respiratory
illnesses
to
yourself
and
others.
N
Knowing
that
you
all
have
to
balance
it
with
other
social
determinants
of
Health.
It's
not
an
easy
decision
and
these
are
recommendations,
as
I
said
before,
given
what
has
happened
throughout
covet
to
this
point,
I
imagine
we
will
see
another
peak
of
covet.
This
fall,
and
winter
and
I
want
to
be
wrong
about
that,
and
so
I
would
encourage
everyone
to
anticipate
a
surge
and
then
consider
how
to
incorporate
as
many
strategies
in
your
daily
activities.
Now
as
we
approach
the
fall
and
winter
in
this
anticipated
surge,
I'm
done,
Dr
Miller.
O
Good
afternoon,
as
Dr
varghese
mentioned
getting
tested
remains
an
important
piece
in
the
fight
against
covet
this
weekend,
I
woke
up
I
had
a
little
something.
I
was
able
to
Avail
myself
of
our
testing
opportunities
to
ensure
that
it
was
not
covet.
I
have
individuals
in
my
house
that
are
not
fully
vaccinated.
My
kids
they're
only
on
dose
one
so
I
wanted
to
know
what
my
status
was.
O
We
think
it's
critically
important
to
make
sure
that
the
community
continues
that
continues
to
have
access
to
these
Services,
particularly
in
light
of
of
some
of
the
lapses
in
Congressional
funding
that
otherwise
supported
the
availability
of
Home
testing
and
free
funding.
Excuse
me
funding
from
hersa
to
make
tests
freely
available
with
that
the
county
still
maintains
four
testing
sites:
Arlington
Mill
Courthouse,
Quincy
and
Virginia
Highlands.
O
Over
the
past
month,
we
have
seen
a
steady
decline
in
the
usage
which
we
do
attribute
to
the
the
wide
the
easy
access
and
widely
available
availability
of
at-home
tests.
As
Dr
varghese
mentioned,
we've
done
about
5
000
tests.
In
the
past
month.
Each
site
is
doing
about
200
to
250
tests
a
week,
and
the
busiest
sites
remain
at
Arlington
Mill
and
the
courthouse
Plaza
site
with
the
lapse
and
Congressional
funding
that
supported
versus
free
reduced
testing,
as
well
as
some
of
the
changes
in
reimbursement
from
FEMA.
O
We
do
anticipate
that
over
the
next
few
months
we
will
see
a
change
in
the
administration
of
testing
that
is
County
sponsored
it's
our
commitment,
though,
that
we
will
maintain
testing
availability
for
the
uninsured
underinsured
or
those
that
do
not
have
easy
access
to
health
care.
As
Dr
varghese
mentioned.
We
think
that
that
is
one
of
the
most
important
strategies
to
continue
to
keep
the
entire
Community
safe
and
we're
going
to
look
to
continue
to
do
that
with
the
support
of
the
manager
and,
thankfully,
having
budgeted
some
contingent
funds.
A
Thank
you.
Both
I
am
particularly
reminded
as
I
see
those
charts
when
we
used
to
look
at
that
on
a
daily
or
weekly
basis,
and
now
seeing
it
over
multiple
years
is
pretty
striking,
really
appreciate
your
efforts
throughout
both
of
you
and
your
leadership,
as
well
as
the
ability
yeah
that
you
have
to
keep
us
apprised
of
what
this
means
and
implications
for
policy
and
programming.
Mr
defranti.
D
D
How
has
the
uptake
been?
Have
the
slots
been
full
as
were
a
weekend
just
because
I
think
you're
right
to
be
wary?
I
still
get
my
daily
email.
That
says
the
level
of
of
the
levels
that
we're
seeing
and
I
think
you're
right
to
be
wary
of
the
the
late
fall
and
winter,
and
so
I
wondered
if
we
had
any
sense
of
the
new
bivalent
or
the
new
booster,
how
the
appointments
are
going.
N
Well,
we
are
at
least
of
the
county
ones.
We
are
filling
our
appointments,
but
of
course
we
don't
have
as
many
as
we
used
to
I
think
to
put
in
a
larger
perspective,
while
we
reached
85
86
percent
for
those
18
and
older
as
a
general
rule,
that
was
for
the
primary
Series,
Booster
uptake
has
been
much
much
slice
and
it's
not
just
Arlington.
N
This
has
been
a
national
phenomenon
and
so
I
don't
know
when
the
effect
May
wear
out,
but
fortunately
we
have
not
seen
a
significant
rise
in
Associated,
hospitalizations
and
death
and
let's
just
hope
that
that
continues.
But
the
recommendation
still
is
to
keep
getting
boosted
when
you
have
that
opportunity
to
so
using
the
opportunity
once
again
to
get
that
message
out.
The
vaccine
has
proven
to
be
quite
safe
and
so
the
more
we
can
do
to
protect
each
individual
and
protect
others,
while
it
hasn't
been
wasn't
designed
to
reduce
infection.
N
Obviously
there
have
been
some
people
where
it
has
reduced
that
infection
ability,
so
anything
to
reduce
the
amount
of
exposure
in
our
community
would
be,
of
course,
well
well
received
from
a
public
health
perspective.
Great.
N
On
with
manager,
support
to
offer
vaccine
through
the
fall
and
early
winter
to
at
least
get
those
who
are
interested
both
in
the
private
sector
and,
of
course,
those
who
feel
more
comfortable
with
the
health
department
efforts
to
get
that
vaccine.
But
each
we
see
initially
an
interest
wave
and
then
suddenly
it's.
It
has
been
much
lower
for
the
booster.
K
N
K
Interested
interested
parties
for
sure
back
to
the
number
of
arlingtonians
vaccinated,
so
I
noticed
the
the
footnote
that
mentioned
that
we
still
don't
have
a
number
of
federally
administered
doses
that
could
otherwise
reduce
the
number
of
arlingtonians
considered
not
yet
vaccinated.
Is
that
a
dead
effort.
N
N
I,
don't
anticipate
it
to
be
a
huge
number,
but
obviously
anything
that
comes
over
would
be
would
be
grateful
to
be
able
to
see
what
the
real
picture
was
from.
The
I
would
assume
it'd
be
more
the
primary
series
than
anything
else.
Gotcha.
K
And
sort
of
the
last
one
unless
I'm
just
sort
of
misinterpreting
both
of
your
presentations,
the
potential
for
a
fall
surge
combined
with
the
reduction
in
testing
resources
that
are
available
seems
to
me
to
perhaps
be
a
combination
which
could
could
bring
some
Devastation
to
the
community.
So
I'm
wondering
if
there's
anything
that
we
should
be
thinking
about
from
a
public
education
campaign
perspective
to
try
and
maybe
up
those
numbers
of
people
who
are
who
are
going
to
Avail
themselves
of
the
the
booster.
K
N
That
is
the
beginning
of
this
opportunity
that
the
manager
has
provided.
Let's
start
that
getting
the
word
out,
and
we
can
do
things
in
this
public
sense,
but
I
think
what
we
also
have
to
encourage
is
word
of
mouth.
All
of
you
all
of
the
people.
Listening
are
the
best
Advocates
to
talk
about
this
vaccine
is
readily
available.
N
So,
let's
get
if
you
haven't
gotten
it
the
primary
series,
if
you
are
not
interested
in
the
MRNA,
because
it's
new
technology-
although
at
this
point
it
is
close
to
three
years
of
the
the
new
technology
novavax-
is
available
as
the
old
technology
and
that's
also
been
safe.
It's
available
in
in
pharmacies,
including
our
County
efforts
as
well,
so
that
would
be
taking
care
of
a
vaccine
portion
of
it.
Obviously,
we
still
have
testing
going
on
and
so
encouraging
people
to
go,
get
the
testing
if
they
don't
have
something
readily
available.
O
I
just
want
to
add
on
to
that
that
we're
encouraging
everybody
to
make
sure
they
get
their
flu
shot
early
this
year
and
just
a
little
plug
for
County
Employees.
If
I
could
briefly
how
smart
is
going
to
be
offering
the
first
flu
vaccine
clinic
there's
going
to
be
opportunities
in
early
October,
specifically
a
dedicated
clinic
on
Friday
October
7th
from
10
a.m,
until
2
p.m.
Here
in
the
posman
building,
so
they
can
visit
AC
Commons
to
learn
more
about
that
for
County
employees.
K
And
I
can
just
put
in
a
plug.
I
got
my
bivalent
booster
on
Friday,
along
with
my
14
year
old
daughter,
terrific,
seamless,
smooth
process,
as
always
at
Sequoia
Plaza
wonderfully
efficient
from
registration
to
execution
beautifully
done
excellently
done,
and
for
those
people
who
don't
like
shots.
If
you
don't
want
to
Veil
yourselves
with
County
facilities,
you
can
always
go
to
participating
pharmacies
and
you
can
get
the
flu
shot
and
the
covet
vaccine
at
the
same
time.
So
you
know
make
it.
C
Thank
you,
I
can
only
second,
that
my
wife
went
to
get
her
her
shot
her
ambivalent
shot
last
week,
and
it
was
absolutely
seamless
and
great
I
have
a
question
about
the
testing
phase.
So
one
consideration
when
we
are
looking
to
a
potential
of
a
you
know
of
a
of
an
increase
of
of
cases
in
the
fall,
so
we
are
offering
free
testing.
This
is
PCR
testing.
This
is
molecular
testing.
At
the
same
time,
the
federal
government
now
has
finished
the
program
of
making
the
rapid
testing
available
for
free.
C
Rapid
testing
is
still
a
little
bit
expensive
in
the
market
so
and
as
far
as
I
know,
I
and
I've
heard
it
for
many.
Many
people
and
Miss
Garvey
stimulated
this
thinking
in
me,
so
it
seems
like
people
who
are
who
get
covered
then
they
recover,
but
they
continue
to
test
positive
and
PCR.
So
in
the
molecular
test
for
quite
a
while
up
to
three
months
after
and
and
they
are
not
contagious,
they're
completely
recovered.
C
However,
you
know
the
the
rapid
testing
the
antigen
testing
is
is
negative,
so
something
inside
me
gives
me
pause
and
assist
in
in
the
sense
that
maybe
we
could
make
antigen
testing
easily
available.
It's
also
far
less
expensive
than
PCR
testing
and
and
make
sure
that
people
understand
when
they
are
not
contagious.
Etc
is.
Is
that
something
that
we
think
about?
Is
that
something,
for
example,
that
employers
want
to
see?
O
The
Let
Me
Be
specific,
the
availability
for
free
antigen
test
mailed
to
your
home.
That
program
has
ended.
It
is
still
a
requirement
for
health
insurance
companies
to
cover
a
certain
amount
of
antigen
tests
or
reimbursement
for
antigen
tests
under
Health
Care
policies.
Now
for
the
uninsured
and
underinsured,
it
is
different
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that
Dr
varghes
and
I
talk
about
is
how
we
can.
We
can
continue
to
make
that
action.
So
that's
where
we're
going
to
be
concentrating
our
efforts.
C
N
I'm
on
the
issue
of
testing,
most
people
do
not
have
to
test
to
get
out
of
isolation.
It's
just
that
in
certain
circumstances
and
refer
to
the
website.
To
get
more
of
that
information,
the
vast
majority
we
moved
away
from
getting
testing
out
of
isolation
for
the
vast
majority.
That's
been
actually
recommendation
for
a
very
long
time.
You're
absolutely
right.
There
may
be
some
shedding
that's
going
on,
but
the
vast
majority
is
believed
to
be
dead
virus.
That
you're,
detecting
is
the
the
test.
Does
not
tell
you
whether
it's
alive
or
dead.
N
Having
said
that,
there
are
certain
situations
where,
if
the
risk
were
there
that
it
were
still
alive,
there's
more
concerns.
So
if
you're
immunocompromised
having
testing
positive
is
considered
a
little
bit
more
concerning
than
if
you
aren't
immunocompromised
it's,
it
would
be
great
if
there
was
a
perfect
test
that
would
tell
you
you're
completely
cleared
for
us
to
just
go
on.
This
is
not
just
related
to
kova.
This
happens
with
a
lot
of
viral
entities.
You
can
test
for
the
material.
N
C
Okay,
my
concern
is
mostly
with
you
know
how
people
deal
with
that
in
the
workplace:
employers,
what
they
should
and
and
I
see
that
there
is
certain
fuzziness
and
how
employers,
when
they
understand
that
their
employees,
not
any
more
contagious
and
and
I
I.
Would
you
know
when
we,
if
we're
facing
a
peak,
we
should
be
making
an
effort
to
to
inform
people
how
to
deal
with
this?
Thank
you.
E
B
Kirby
yeah.
Thank
you.
We've
come
a
long
way.
I
mean
looking
at
that
chart.
That's
kind
of
like
it's
sort
of
strange,
actually
nice
to
see
you
both
again.
B
Let's
see
I
I'm
finding
that
I
am
not
the
only
one
I'm
talking
to
folks
everybody's
kind
of
feeling
like
we
need
to
start
wearing
masks
more
again
and
I've
really
decided
I'm
going
to
try
to
do
that
in
in
North
situations,
particularly,
it
works
for
flu
too
correct.
Would
this
be
helpful
for
combating
flu
I
see
head
nods,
yeah?
Yes,.
N
As
a
general
rule,
think
of
it
as
a
distancing
tool,
and
so
it
reduces
exposure,
it
doesn't
make
it
zero,
but
the
less
you're
exposed
to
it's
harder
to
get
ill.
So,
as
you
remember,
from
H1N1,
we
had
the
best
school
season
ever
when
we
had
it,
because
we
actually
got
the
school
system
to
agree
on
the
elementary
school
side
to
have
you
know
all
the
schools
have
sinks
in
the
classrooms,
and
so
they
would
actually
have
them
wash
their
hands
and
cover
their
coughs.
N
That
was
the
actually
the
year
that
we
had
the
least
amount
of
sick
children.
Because
of
that,
so
these
things
are
tried
and
true
and
they
apply
to
Beyond
just
one
disease.
That's
why
we
try
not
to
say
disease,
specific
interventions.
These
actually
go
across
germs.
So
yes,
if
you
can
wear
it
and
do
a
lot
of
these
things
for
your
own
personal
reasons,
you
can
reduce
your
exposure
and
those
of
you
have
children
I'm
not
recommending
that
you
wear
masks
around
your
kids,
but
it.
A
L
B
No
thank
you,
I
mean
it's
just
yeah,
it's
just
they'll,
wash
your
hands
and
now
wear
a
mask.
And
frankly,
if
we
come
out
of
this
pandemic
wearing
masks
more
than
we
used
to
particularly
in
flu
season,
it'd
be
great!
Is
there
any
talk
among
Public
Health
people,
people
about
doing
not
only
boosters
for
covid,
but
also
for
flu
I
mean
it
seems
to
me
flu
and
they're
kind
of
getting
sort
of
co-mingled
and
they're
sort
of
similar.
They
come
up
every
year.
You
need
to
get
a
shot
every
year,
most
likely.
B
N
It's
a
great
idea
and
it
would
be
terrific
to
be
able
to
do
it.
We
are
unfortunately,
only
able
to
offer
covet
vaccine
right
now.
It
may
be
something
for
our
future
issue
to
think
about
being
able
to
do
both
of
those
but
it'll
be
a
policy
funding
decision
to
be
able
to
both
get
that
and
have
the
capacity.
N
But
that's
why
the
private
sector,
the
opportunity,
through
the
pharmacies,
absolutely
we've,
been
encouraging
people
and
another
great
opportunity
to
say
you
can
get
both
your
flu
shot
and
your
covet
shot
at
the
same
time
at
any
pharmacy
in
the
community
and
there's
we're
encouraging
in
fact
to
go,
get
it
done.
We
just
offer
our
opportunities
if
there
are
people
who,
for
some
reason,
are
reluctant
to
go
anywhere
we're
working
on
the
the
covet
side
at
the
moment.
B
Yeah,
thank
you
yeah.
Maybe
one
day,
we'll
we'll
get
there
and
then
could
you
talk
just
a
little
bit
about
I
saw
that
we
we're
now
testing
the
Wastewater
and
finding
what's
going
on
that
way,
are
we
looking
at?
Could
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
and
also
just
to
throw
in
and
not
not
at
length,
but
you
know
I
also
get
questions
sometimes
about
monkey
pox
and
every
now
and
then
about
polio,
because
there
were
some
scary
articles
about
polio.
N
So
we
have
been
part
of
a
covet
testing
situation
and
Des
thanks
to
our
colleagues
at
DES
for
participating
and
the
results
are
then
sent
to
the
vdh
and
CDC.
So
it's
another
way
to
see
what's
going
on
in
our
community,
and
so
yes,
we
do
actually
are
able
to
detect,
and
we
know
that
the
Omicron
va5
is
what
we're
presently
getting,
and
it's
a
just
a
simple
weekly
test.
That's
done,
and
so
it
gives
us
enough
information
to
also
correlate
with
what
we're
seeing
in
the
community.
N
N
We
have
actually
been
able
to
look
at
our
vaccination
rates
in
our
schools,
because
obviously
we
actually
are
the
ones
who
public
health
staff
are
the
ones
who
staff
in
schools,
so
head
staff
look
at
it
and
we
have
less
than
100
people
out
of
300
or
30
000
that
have
exemptions
for
it.
So
the
risk
is
low.
N
That's
still
different
from
could
it
happen,
it
is
still
possible,
but
their
medical,
much
more
medical
reasons
than
non-medical
reasons
for
those
exclusions,
so
they
really
shouldn't
be
getting
it
so
I
think
we're
in
the
best
place
we
can
be
with
polio
and
it's
a
good
reminder.
It
always
be
up
to
date
on
your
vaccines
and
realize
that
there
are,
you
can
get
travel,
related
diseases
and
so
pay
attention.
Yeah.
B
That
just
seems
like
a
great
idea
and
I've
had
some
I'll
just
say:
I
had
some
very
interesting
conversations
about
polio
with
my
94
year
old
mother,
who
read
these
articles
and
boy:
did
that
get
a
lot
of
memories
going
I,
don't
Dr
Miller
did
you
have
something
you
wanted
to
add?
No.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
M
Yes,
Madam
chair,
so
this
past
spring
we
updated
you
on
our
efforts
to
address
the
stresses
facing
our
commercial
office
Market
section
and
as
of
right
now
we're
experiencing
a
21
office
Market
vacancy
rate.
This
is
a
record
high
for
the
county.
M
M
So
Arlington's
economic
and
fiscal
Health
relies
on
the
development
and
Redevelopment
opportunities
we
have
in
our
sector
plans
and
our
work
with
our
businesses
to
locate
in
the
county.
So
today,
Mark
McCauley
is
here
from
our
Arlington
Economic
Development
joined
by
Jill
hunger
from
cphd.
M
P
Thank
you
again,
thank
you
so
much
for
having
us
here
today,
members
of
our
County
Board,
as
mentioned
in
Mark's
opening
comments.
We
presented
this
initiative
to
you
back
in
in
April
and
I
just
wanted
to
remind
you
sort
of
the
the
what's
and
the
whys
really
quick
highlights
of
of
what
it
is,
and
it's
it's
trying
to
support
that
robust
commercial,
real
estate
market,
our
fiscal
balance,
sort
of
everything
that
that
Mark
highlighted
it's
this
sort
of
a
necessity
to
keep
Arlington
standing
as
a
great
and
sustainable
place,
and
why
are
we
doing?
P
So
what
we've
been
doing
is:
is
we
sort
of
bucket
this
and
we've?
We
further
defined
the
elements
associated
with
this
comprehensive
strategy
in
looking
at
different
buckets,
including
uses
process,
intelligence
and
others,
so
just
highlighted
upon
uses
is
really
how
do
we
accommodate
the
dynamic
commercial
Market
through
zoning
ordinance
amendments
and
enhanced
flexibility,
the
processes,
and
how
do
we
improve
our
processes
to
readily
accommodate
the
changing
commercial
markets
through
site
plan
amendments?
P
In
looking
at
our
conditions
of
how
do
we
have
additional
Clarity
around
our
conditions,
flexibility
in
our
conditions,
as
well
as
looking
at
the
timing
associated
with
those
conditions
and
requirements
of
those
conditions?
The
intelligence
piece
is:
how
do
we
ensure
that
Arlington
stays
current
in
the
changing
office?
Market
needs
and
tenant
requests
again
through
broker
conversations,
these
property
owner
roundtables
that
Mark
just
mentioned
Indus
and
Industry
conferences.
P
P
So
we
wanted
to
bring
to
you
real
quick
what
we've
been
doing
since
that
April
26th
meeting.
We
formed
this
rapid
response
team
and
that's
really
sort
of
looking
at
our
quick
and
Nimble
uses.
I'll
go
through
that
in
a
moment.
We've
developed
criteria
of
how
we're
looking
at
these
approaches
a
developed,
a
work
plan
that
we'll
get
into
a
little
bit
in
more
detail.
We
initiated
a
pilot
of
a
new
and
emerging
use
with
microfulfillment
centers.
P
This
came
forward
to
you
in
July
as
an
RTA
and
it'll,
come
back
to
you
for
Action
in
October.
Aed
has
hired
some
new
staff
to
assist
with
this
work,
and
we've
done
a
lot
of
communications
around
this,
including
conversations
with
Napier
chamber
and
others
in
our
commercial
Market
space.
We
did
go
to
our
commission,
both
Planning
Commission
and
economic
development
commissions.
We've
stood
up
a
new
web
page
about
this.
This
initiative
and
again,
as
Mark
pointed
out,
we've
looked
at
sort
of
these
round
tables
and
a
way
to
gain
intelligence.
P
So
I
mentioned
and
and
you've
seen
this
slide
previously
of
this
quick
Nimble
and
nuanced
of
how
we're
approaching
and
looking
at
changes,
and
we
typically
look
at
amendments
to
our
Arlington
zoning
ordinance,
I'm,
going
to
stop
here
and
I.
Think
Mark
McCauley
will
be
able
to
provide
a
little
bit
more
in-depth
and
detailed
look
into
the
quick
and
Nimble
processes.
Q
Thank
you
Joe
and
members
of
the
County
board,
so
I
wanted
to
give
you
a
snapshot
of
where
we
see
the
next
few
months
as
we
kind
of
ramp
up
efforts
post
this
pilot.
So
as
Jill
mentioned,
October
we'll
see
micro
filament
come
back
to
you
and
then
we
will
have
a
series
of
rtas
or
an
RTA
that
bundles
a
number
of
uses
in
October
as
well.
One
is
universities
as
office.
Q
This
is
a
particularly
low
hanging
fruit
of
in
the
zoo,
we're
well
aware
of
of
use,
use
permits,
often
being
required
for
University
uses
in
our
commercial
buildings.
We
think
that's
not
as
efficient
as
it
could
be.
So
we'll
look
at
a
Buy,
Right
Use,
we'll
look
at
the
Columbia
Pike
ground
floor
uses
particularly
some
of
the
lower
hanging
fruit
like
animal
boarding,
which
is
a
strong
demand.
Tenant
demand
things
like
Urban
agriculture
distilleries
and
breweries.
Q
We
may
we
may
wait
another
month
until
we
tackle
commercial
kitchens
and
line
that
up
with
food
delivery
and
then
one
that
I
think
that
is
particularly
based
upon
the
conversations
we've
had
with
all
of
our
staff
in
AED
and
and
others
in
our
commercial
property
owners.
Is
this
Flex
r
d
is
office?
We
see
that
as
the
trend
of
tenants
that
are
going
to
come
back
to
space
are
going
to
use
them
differently
and
a
lot
of
the
the
the
while
the
while
the
demand
profile
for
new
tenancy
is
still
uncertain.
Q
So
we're
also
looking
at
from
a
process
standpoint
looking
at
as
Joe
mentioned,
some
the
updated
conditions
complete
from
administrative
standpoint
and
also
considering
things
like
Omnibus
site
plan
amendments
to
to,
and
and
particularly
important
redefining
major
minor
and
administrative
changes,
as
well
as
Jill
mentioned
future
of
outdoor
dining
and
I'll.
Talk
a
little
bit
in
a
couple
slides
about
office
to
residential.
Q
One
of
the
things
we
wanted
to
really
update
you
on
is
we've
learned
since
April
is
and
to
really
remind
not
only
you
but
also
the
community.
Is
this
quick
and
Nimble
process
is
also
going
to
require
a
new
type
of
Engagement,
and
particularly
looking
at
streamline
engagement
that
promotes
the
resiliency
through
Innovation,
but
really
risk
appropriate
management.
The
the
the
the
the
the
idea
that
in
many
cases,
why
do
we
care
what
happens
within
an
office
building
if
it
isn't
have
any
impact?
Q
What
is
the
real
risk
of
a
zoning
change
to
the
community,
and
so
we've
really
let
we
we
really
landed
on
a
level
of
Engagement
that
focuses
heavily
on
communication,
so
a
lot
of
Staff
analysis
communicating
that
out
and
then
from
a
consult
standpoint.
This
online
form.
This
is
going
to
mean
that
we
may
interact
with
our
zoco
differently
and
our
plan
commission
differently,
particularly
as
we
bundle
a
lot
of
these
uses
together.
We've
thrown
out
the
idea
of
for
lack
of
a
term
sort
of
a
consent
to
gender
approach.
Q
Perhaps,
and
we'll
talk
more
with
our
commissions
about
that.
In
order
to
make
sure
that
the
the
engagement
is
streamlined
and
it'll
certainly
mean
that
some
Community
groups
that
are
used
to
having
in-person
or
virtual
presentations
about
uses
coming
from
the
County
Board
will
have
to
really
rely
on
that
communicating
consult
level
of
Engagement
to
allow
for
these
to
move
quickly.
Q
And
then
I
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
talk
in
the
community
and
in
the
region
and
nationally
about
well
what
what
a
potential
solution
of
turning
some
of
these
older
or
vacant
Office
Buildings
into
residential
to
serve
not
only
the
need
of
getting
that
inventory
off
of
the
commercial
markets,
but
also
to
provide
much
needed
housing.
The
the
reality
is
from
a
from
a
pure
technical
standpoint.
Our
zoning
is
not
really
a
barrier
in
that
most
of
our
site
plan
districts
allow
for
both
office
and
residential.
Q
But
one
of
the
things
that's
important
for
everyone
to
understand
is
that
the
barriers
to
conversions
often
are
not
regulatory.
They
are
things
like
an
office
building
has
larger
floor
plates
that
doesn't
allow
lighten
air
in
as
well
floor
to
ceiling
Heights
Central
cores
that
don't
work
for
residential
buildings.
So
when
these
have
worked,
they've
been
very
much
not
needles
in
a
haystack,
but
many
will
think
in
that
term
of
some
Office
Buildings
just
aren't
going
to
work.
Second,
when
we
talk
about
vacancy
well,
we
have
a
couple
of
buildings
that
are
fully
vacant.
Q
Most
of
our
vacancy
is
spread
throughout
the
portfolio,
so
an
office
landlord
will
say
well,
I
only
have
a
70
occupied
building,
but
that's
not
enough
to
justify
any
breaking
leases,
kicking
tenants
out
and
repositioning-
and
that's
always
a
challenge
and
third
I
think
is
a
credit
to
Arlington.
We've
always
been
very
future
thinking
about
Redevelopment
and
about
new
places,
and
many
of
our
older,
obsolete
buildings
are
in
areas
that
have
long-term
40-year
Redevelopment
plans
that
accomplish
many
of
the
things
other
than
just
new
development,
but
new
parks.
Q
So
with
that
said,
I
think
we're
open
to
any
questions
unless
that
was
last
slide
right
yep.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you
so
much
I
wanted
to
particularly
thank
you
for
that
final
slide,
because
I
was
going
to
ask
about
it.
This
is
definitely
something.
We've
heard
a
lot
of
interest
in
the
community.
We
know
we
need
housing.
We
know
we
have
vacant
office
space
and
it
seems
like
it
should
be
easier.
So
I
I
know
that
you,
both
and
your
colleagues
have
engaged
in
a
lot
of
conversations
with
property
owners
about
what's
potential
here
and
your
point
about
zoning.
A
A
land
use
policy
is
probably
not
the
barrier,
maybe
some
building
code,
but
we'd
really
have
to
start
talking
about
incenting.
If,
if
we're
going
to
realize
this,
so
if
a
solution
seems
too
good
to
be
true,
it
probably
is
I
really
appreciate
the
the
primer
on.
What's
a
little
bit
hard
about
this,
as
well
as
all
of
the
work
that
you
all
have
underway
to
support
the
uses.
That
might
be
a
little
more
realistic,
I,
really
appreciate
it.
Miss
Garvey
with
questions
yeah.
B
Thank
you.
This
is
great
I
appreciate
all
of
this.
This
thinking
the
world
continues
to
change
really
fast.
I
was
most.
It
should
actually
in
the
very
last
issue
that
you
talked
about,
which
is
look
at
these
buildings.
They
don't
really
as
as
Ms
crystal
said.
Our
chair
said,
you
know
if
it
if
it
seems
too
good
to
be
true.
It
probably
is
that's
a
really
good.
You
know,
and
I've
heard
this
before,
that
it
was
hard
to
do
with
these
buildings,
tearing
them
down.
I
hadn't
thought
about
that.
B
As
much
do
you
want
to
just
elaborate
on
that
a
little
bit?
How
close
is
it
to
you
know
if
the
building's
not
producing
really
much
income
at
all,
then
tearing
it
down,
really
might
make
sense?
How
expensive
is
it
to
tear
down
a
building?
I?
Think
that's!
Maybe
what
I'm
trying
to
ask
yeah.
Q
It's
it's
obviously
a
significant
investment
on
the
part
of
the
developer,
but
we
have
examples
that
come
in
front
of
you
every
month
of
where
we're
looking
at
Redevelopment,
National,
Landing,
Crystal
City,
obviously
has
a
number
of
them
where
a
number
of
those
site
plans
that
are
going
through
the
process
now
are
use
our
old
office
buildings
that
are
being
torn
down,
I'll,
say
the
TSA
buildings
and
Pentagon
City,
where,
where
the
board
considered
and
and
approved
the
Pentagon
City
to
re
reimagine,
Pentagon
City,
those
older
Office
Buildings
will
be
torn
down
for
more
of
a
mixed-use
type
of
so
the
the
investment
the
investment
to
to
redevelop
is
is
significant,
but
for
developers
and
their
investors
it's
a
much
clearer
path.
B
D
You,
madam
chair,
thank
you
for
the
report.
D
I'm
searching
to
sort
of
try
to
make
this
tangible
in
my
mind
so,
and
the
the
meetings
with
property
owners
seemed
like
a
great
idea
that
I
think
that's
really
important.
D
Q
I've
heard
from
the
property
owners
and,
more
importantly,
from
our
tenants,
is
both
the
combination
of
unknown,
but
that
most
are
in
some
form
of
hybrid
policy,
where
it's
two
to
three
and
and
two
two
or
three
out
I
think
the
the
landlords
were
able
to
give
a
good
perspective
on
from
their
perspective,
the
activity
level
in
a
building
because
they
monitor
things
like
who's
in
when
the
lights
are
on
and
those
sort
of
things
and
I
think
they
had
a
very
similar
sense
that
either
buildings
are
still
either
floors
are
still
not
occupied
at
all,
because
people
haven't
come
back
at
all,
but
more
typically,
it's
a
sort
of
a
hybrid
and
a
slow
comeback
to
the
office.
D
Are
there
more
I
think
you
alluded
to
that?
Are
there
more
property
owner
meetings
scheduled?
Are
there
a
series
kind
of
how
far
along?
Are
we
in
that
yeah.
Q
R
Thank
you
for
that
question
in
and
we
last
week
was
our
first
event
of
the
kind
of
that
kind
and
I
think
it
went
really
well,
as
Mark
mentioned
in
his
Mark
Schwartz
County
Manager
mentioned
his
remarks.
It
was
very
well
received
and
there
is
interest
in
continuing,
so
I
was
just
circling
with
a
team
actually
to
figure
out.
You
know
with
what
Cadence
we
want
to
do
that.
R
We
have
been
communicating
with
many
of
these
Property
Owners
during
the
pandemic
and
but
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
value
by
convening
a
larger
group
and
to
be
hearing
it
from
each
other
and
kind
of
convened
as
a
a
specific,
a
task
force
for
Arlington
County,
so
I
would
anticipate.
It
would
be
probably
a
quarterly
meeting
and,
with
you
know,
interactions
in
between
as
needed
with
important
updates
from
the
county
and
vice
versa.
M
Mr
D
foreign,
if
I,
could
add
being
a
tenant
myself,
in
other
words
having
a
Workforce
of
4
000
people.
I
was
sitting
next
to
one
of
the
Developers
who
completely
understandably
asked
me
how
many
days
a
week,
I'm
requiring
County
staff
to
come
into
the
office
and,
as
a
rule,
I'd
say
we're
now
right
now,
averaging
between
two
to
three
days
a
week
in
most
departments.
M
M
So
that
is
the
tension
and
the
balance
that
we
face
and
I'm
just
one
of
the
tenants
and
I
think
that's
fairly
common
in
the
marketplace
where
a
number
of
workers
who
did
the
commute
five
days
a
week,
are
now
questioning
why
they
should,
and
so
that
his
to
my
mind
and
Mark
and
Jill
know
more
about
this
than
I
do
and
Marion
does
is
really
a
fundamental
change.
I
think
that
has
worked
its
way
into
people's
psyches
once
the
pandemic
has
gone,
I
think
that
will
remain
to
a
certain
degree.
Q
I
think
the
important
point
there
is
that
the
vacancy
rate
is
the
vacancy
rate.
That's
just
that's
a
space
that
doesn't
have
a
tenant.
The
concern
of
the
property
owners
is,
is,
as
companies
work
out
this
hybrid
model.
What
is
the
space
need?
How
is
that
going
to
change
I
think
we
heard
some
optimism
that
people
are
saying
well.
If
they
have
two
to
three
in
a
week,
then
you
know
at
least
one
or
two
of
those
days
most
people
are
in
then.
D
Great
thanks,
I
want
to
yield
to
colleagues.
I
will
say.
One
thought
is
that
it
seems
like
a
structural
change
in
in
our
system
of
work,
and
so
I
might
want
to
follow
up
just
to
see
if
there
are
markets
that
are
on
track.
The
strength
of
some
markets
can
pull
along
the
weakness.
That's
in
that
same
Geographic
space
and
there
are
a
couple
of
markets
that
I'd
like
to
follow
up
after
not
here
and
I'll
yield.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I
want
to
pick
up
exactly
where
Mr
defranti
left
off.
You
know
this
is
great
that
we're
reforming
local
government
to
sort
of
meet
this
moment.
Are
you
finding
that
the
the
owner
Community
the
broker
Community?
Q
I
can
answer
one
part
of
the
question
and
I'll
let
Marion
answer
the
second
from
a
property
standpoint.
One
thing
we
have
seen
is
a
really
renewed
interest
in
sort
of
significant
investments
in
the
building
to
make
it
a
more
interesting
place.
I
think
the
the
analogy
is
the
the
office
now
has
to
be
as
com
as
a
more
comfortable
as
your
living
room
right.
So
the
idea
of
having
amenities,
for
instance,
one
of
the
properties
said
you
don't
even
get
a
tour
from
a
tenant.
Q
If
you
don't
have
a
pool
in
your
building,
because
people
want
those
amenities
and
the
idea
is
to
bring
people
in
to
work,
it
has
to
be
a
place
that
they
actually
want
to
be
versus
just
want
to
get
in
and
get
out
and
work.
So
that
has
been
something
that
is,
that
has
been
certainly
we've
seen
in
the
marketplace.
I
think
I'll.
R
Thank
you,
Mark
and
thank
you
Mr
Dorsey,
for
the
question.
I
think
that
you
know,
based
on
our
conversations
that
we
had
last
week
with
the
property
owners
I
think
we
were
hoping
to
see
a
little
more
innovation
in
terms
of
how
they're
thinking
about
other
uses
or
at
least
learn
something
new
about.
Maybe
demand
that
they're,
seeing
from
some
of
the
other
high
growth
uses
that
we're
seeing
we.
We
asked,
for
example,
about
life
sciences,
because
we
know
that's
a
sector
that
is
doing
really
well.
We
have
a
talent
pool
here
in
our
region.
R
You
know
that
is
very
strong
in
life
sciences
tends
to
be
concentrated
in
Maryland
and
270
Corridor,
and
so
we
we
were
a
little
underwhelmed,
I
think
with
the
responses
that
we
had
I
think
the
other
thing
that
we
should
think
about
in
in
terms
of
our
engagement
with
these
companies
oftentimes,
you
know
our
the
people
we're
working
with
locally.
R
The
organization
may
be
headquartered
another
part
of
the
country
and
they
may
have
people
within
the
organization
that
are
looking
or
tasked
with
kind
of
more
strategic
analysis
of
the
portfolio
as
a
whole
and
so
I'm,
hoping
in
further
conversations
to
to
learn
what
kind
of
innovative
thinking
or
strategy
conversations
may
be
going
on
at
higher
levels
about
what
to
do
with
their
various
assets
and
how
they're
positioned
in
different
markets.
R
C
Thank
you.
That's
an
excellent
follow-up
to
to
our
previous
discussion
about
that.
Thank
you.
So
much
I,
I
I'm,
extremely
supportive
of
this
as
we
are
all
I
actually
I,
have
a
couple
of
questions
that
are
just
just
for
my
information
just
to
frame
it
in
a
better
way.
C
The
first
one
is
is
there
you
know
the
famous
question
about
commuting
Etc.
Is
that
at
all
a
factor
in
how
people
how
owners-
or
even
you
know,
big
big
operators
like
the
GSA,
for
example,
evaluate
or
re-evaluate
the
the
market
in
Arlington,
so
we
used
to
have
a
competitive
advantage.
That
was,
you
know
we
are
on
transportation.
We,
you
know
your
employees
can
can
come
in
and
out
very
fast.
Is
that
fading
or
is
that
still
intact?.
Q
I
think
certainly
I
I
think
we,
and
this
is
part
that
everyone's
struggling
with
these
questions
right
but
I,
think
what
we
don't
want
to
do
is
overreact
and
sort
of
say
people
aren't
going
to
be
using
public
transportation
and
good
roads
and
coming
into
the
work
it's
just
going
to
be
a
different,
maybe
a
different
type,
but
I
still
think.
The
things
that
Beyond
Transportation,
which
is
a
key
element
of
what's
made,
are
unsuccessful
that
the
place
making
is
still
important.
So
some
of
the
things
that
you
see
up
there
in
the
uses.
Q
The
reason
why
I
care
so
much
about
animal
boarding
is
not
just
because
I
have
dogs.
It's
because
I
know
that
to
get
people
back
into
the
office
they're
used
to
having
a
dog
sit
by
them
next
to
their
computer
right
and
now
they
want
to
be
able
to
bring
that
dog
and
be
close
to
it
while
having
animal
boarding,
facilities
that
are
really
well
designed
next
to
Office.
Buildings
is
probably
going
to
be
a
very
strong
amenity
for
that
building.
Q
So
restaurants,
the
food
study,
I,
can't
stress
enough
how
important
it
is
that
we
look
at
the
food,
so
there's
an
opportunity
to
help
our
restaurants
recover,
because
if
we
lose
those
amenities,
then
yes,
it
does
become
harder
to
distinguish
yourself
other
than
just
rent
from
commodity
locations
which
don't
offer
those
same
level.
So
I
would
say
the
place.
Making
element
is
still
something:
that's
still
a
very
strong
competitive
advantage,
and
we
just
need
to
make
sure
that
we
are
staying
on
top
of
that
and
making
sure
we
are
not
losing
ground
in
that
way.
C
Okay,
but
because
also
I'm
thinking
that
at
the
same
time,
for
for
many
of
our
you
know
many
leading
Industries,
the
last
couple
of
years
haven't
been
precisely
bad
years.
They
have
been
actually
excellent
years
and
rather
than
small
businesses
they
these.
These
big
employers
have
been
faring
very
well.
We
see
an
uptick
right
now,
again,
travel
even
GSA
travel.
That
could
be,
you
know
a
proxy
for
for
activity
Etc.
C
So,
to
what
extent
is
the
pricing
still
an
issue
is:
do
they
consider
our
Market
still
too
expensive,
or
you
know
too
risky
at
this
price
or
or
is
it
that
they
should
take
away
from
this
conversation?
Be
that
they
are
just
still
in
you
know
in
they
they
just
don't
have
a
concept,
yet
they
don't
know
what
exactly
is
going
to
happen
next
and
we
are
in
constant
contact
to
to
figure
out
how
we
are
navigating
that
together.
Q
I
think
the
pricing
of
real
estate
in
Arlington
has
always
been
relative
to
those
that
the
value
of
the
place
and
I
still
that's
that
holds
up
I
I
wish
I
could
tell
you
and
not
wish
I
could
tell
you,
but
if
we
had
heard
from
the
property
owners
that
said
we,
you
know
we're
losing
all
our
deals
to
rest
in,
because
they're
10
bucks,
a
square
foot
cheaper,
we
would
say
well
that's
at
least
a
problem
to
solve
right,
but
I
think
what
we're
hearing
is
across
their
portfolio.
Q
It's
the
it's,
the
big
users
that
are
still
very
much
looking
at
that,
because
I
think
as
Mr
Schwartz
said,
they
have
large
labor
forces
and
they
want
don't
want
to
make
a
decision
that
puts
them
at
a
risk
of
losing
valuable
employees.
So
I
think
we're
going
to
see
some,
but
those
small
users
also
don't
change
the
needles
quickly.
Yeah,
you
know,
ten
thousand
five
thousand
square
feet
of
time
is
needs
a
lot
to
add
up
so.
P
Two
quotes,
one
quote
was
like
the
indecision
is
the
new
reality
for
our
lot.
The
our
commercial
property
owners
and
just
to
what
Mark
was
was
explaining.
I
think.
The
other
big
piece
that
I
took
away
was
the
idea
of
having
a
regional
voice
with
the
federal
government,
but
also
sort
of
a
regional
voice
of
going
out
to
other
areas
and
looking
at
potential
tenants,
so
get
people
interested
in
the
region
first
and
then
sort
of.
Then
we
can
Define
in.
A
Someone
used
to
call
that
Co-op
petition
right
yeah.
Thank
you
both
so
much
I
I
was
really
struck
too
by
the
answer
to
Mr
Cameron
Dennis's
prior
question.
A
To
think
about
the
the
essentialness
of
the
the
places
that
make
us
into
place,
particularly
I'm
thinking,
small
businesses,
restaurants,
and
yet
also
it
is
essential
to
their
survival
right
that
we
have
those
daytime,
Tenants
come
back,
so
I
think
you
all
are
really
have
a
beat
on
the
extent
to
which
this
is
an
ecosystem
in
which
the
the
the
different
organisms
are
dependent
on
one
another
I
think
the
Silver
Lining
here
of
a
really
significant
problem
is
that
we
are
not
settling
idly
by
and
I
really
appreciate
the
the
quality
of
research
and
Partnerships
that
you
all
have
undertaken
to
try
to
make
sure
that
we
can
get
ahead
of
these
challenges
and
be
or
get
ahead
of
these
opportunities
so
that
we
can
be
as
competitive
as
possible
in
addressing
these
challenges.
B
B
So
if
they
have
to
be
somewhere,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they
want
to
be
here
so
whatever
that,
whatever
that
takes
and
I
found
myself
I'm,
not
totally
surprised
that
the
the
property
owners
weren't
as
imaginative,
as
maybe
was
hoped
and
I
wonder
if
perhaps
one
of
our
University
Partners
might
usefully
I
mean
it
feels
like
you,
should
get
a
whole
bunch
of
people
in
a
room
and
do
some
really
thought-provoking
stuff
and
get
people
just
kind
of
brainstorming
and
that
that
might
be
useful
to
do,
and
maybe
one
of
our
University
Partners
would
be,
would
be
best
to
to
kind
of
do
that,
because
I
think
everybody's
waiting
to
find
out
what's
happening,
and
maybe
we
need
to
do
a
little
bit
bit
of
pushing
and
and
do
some
real
thinking
about
what
might
happen
and
then
maybe
test
test.
A
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
make
a
motion
regarding
closed
session,
I
move
that
we
can
be
in
a
closed
meeting
is
authorized
by
Virginia
code
sections,
2.2,
3711.a3
and
7
and
29
for
first,
a
discussion
regarding
the
disposition
of
publicly
held
real
property,
where
discussion
in
an
open
meeting
would
adversely
affect
the
bargaining
position
or
negotiating
strategy
of
the
County
Board
to
a
discussion
with
a
county
attorney
regarding
case
120
CV
667,
currently
pending
in
the
eastern
district
of
Virginia,
where
discussion
in
an
open
meeting
would
adversely
affect
the
litigating
posture
of
the
County
Board.
A
Three,
a
discussion
with
a
county
attorney
regarding
probable
litigation.
We're
discussion
in
an
open
meeting
would
adversely
affect
the
litigating
posture
of
the
County
Board
and
for
a
discussion
regarding
the
award
of
public
contracts
involving
the
expenditure
of
public
funds,
where
discussion
in
an
open
session
would
adversely
affect
the
negotiating
strategy
of
the
County.
Board
do
I
have
a
second
second,
all
right
from
from
all
three
I
think
I
heard
Miss
Garvey
first,
unless
there's
any
further
discussion,
we're
ready
for
a
vote.
A
A
Good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
I
am
first
going
to
reconvene
us
from
the
closed
session
that
the
County
Board
just
held
I
move
that

members
of
the
County
Board
certify
at
the
just
concluded
closed
session.

S
We
continue
to
be
grateful
for
the
support
of
the
Arlington

Board
and
the

are
excited
to
work

other
organizations
and
non-profits
to
implement
our
strategic
plan
as
the
organization
responsible
for
the
implementation
of
this
strategic
plan.
We
are
the
stewards
of
the
vision,
mission
and
values
stated
in
that
plan
and
we
are
supported
by
and
accountable
to
the
dozens
of
community

who
gave
thousands
of
person
hours
to
bring
this
Vision
into
fruition.
S
I
often
read
the
vision,
mission
values
of
restorative
Arlington,
to
remind
myself
of
why
I
work
so
hard
in
closing
I
wanted
to
read
the
core
values
of
restorative
Arlington,
but
I
think
I've
run
out
of
time
and
I
want
to
be
respectful
of
everyone's
time
here.
So
thank
you
so
much
thanks.

For
the
past
two
years,
our
committee
has
reviewed
data
to
understand
what
funding
is
impacted,
how
it
has
been
allocated
historically
and
what
services
have
been
funded.
Through
this
process,
it
became
clear
that
funding
decisions
were
not
necessarily
made
on
Merit
and
that
there
is
and
that
the
decisions
certainly
were
not
transparent.
J
We
Endeavor
to
correct
the
process
so
that
so
that
all
organizations
serving
this
community
have
a
Level
Playing
Field
to
access
County
funding.
It
is
Equitable
not
only
for
purposes
of
funding
allocations
and
decisions,
but
it
also
goes
to
the
heart
of
equity.
In
serving
this,
our
County
residents,
the
nofa
process
used
in
the
restorative
justice
Grant
utilize,
the
process
developed
by
by
pop
leaders
of
local
organizations
to
ensure
equity
in
County
funding,
it
operationalized
the
Hallmarks
of
equity
and
fairness.
It
advertised
the
availability
of
funding
through
a
nofa
process.
J
It
made
a
process
competitive
rather
than
based
on
relationships.
It
included
review
of
applications
by
subject
matter.
Experts
and
the
process
was
transparent
and
followed
the
process
advertised.
The
impact
of
this
process
cannot
be
understated.
No
longer
will
funding
be
based
on
relational
politics
or
Optics.
No
longer
will
smaller
organizations
or
bypoc
leaders
of
organizations
without
access
to
County
decision
makers
be
at
a
disadvantage
when
funding
is
available.
More
importantly,
no
longer
will
residents
served
by
our
organization's
be
disadvantaged
because
of
our
organizations
have
been
excluded
from
or
lacked
the
proximity
to
relational
funding.
J
I
Okay
good
evening
Chris
to
and
vice
chair
Dorsey,
the
County
board
members
and
County
managers
Schwartz.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
today.
My
name
is
Robert
David
and
I.
Am
the
youth
and
gang
violence
prevention
coordinator
for
the
city
of
Danville
I'm
grateful
to
have
this
opportunity
to
speak
in
support
of
cypher's
work
and
concluding
the
pier
nypc.
I
The
city
of
Danville
is
a
remarkable
Community,
a
rich
with
history
and
promise,
and
it
stands
on
the
precipice
of
success
and
in
so
many
ways
through
economic
transformation
and
then
social
change,
we're
flushed
with
opportunity
and
with
that
the
city
understands
that
it
requires
strong
Partners
to
achieve
success.
Outcomes
for
all
the
residents
and
Cipher
is
a
strong
partner.
I
So
I
arrived
in
Danville
in
2018
and
at
that
time
per
capita
we
had
the
same
as
far
as
Gang
Related
homicides,
greater
than
Chicago
I've
been
there
four
years
and
I've
worked
to
interrupt
gang
violence
and
provided
gang-affiliated
programs
for
kids
and
youth,
getting
Affiliated
resources
to
change
the
lives
of
those
individuals,
office
developed
and
implemented
a
nationally
recognized
program
model
called
project.
I
Imagine
I'm
proud
to
work
and
have
accomplished
part
of
the
workout
I've
accomplished
with
the
city,
but
we
I
also
understand
the
intervention
is
only
half
the
equation
for
more
than
a
year,
I've
worked
closer
with
Cypher
and
a
collective
impact
model.
I
On
this
bill
strong
initiative,
this
collaborative
of
equity,
Partnerships
and
process
is
focused
on
the
common
goal:
share
Community
division
that
all
Danville
city
children
want
to
have
Equitable
access
to
resources
and
opportunities
to
succeed
from
cradle
to
Career,
ciphers
recruited
across

engagement
with

which
resulted
in
the
development
of

community-based

Cypher's
work
brought
together
more
than
60
Partners
to
develop
a
comprehensive
strategic
strategic
plan
that
Partners
goes
across
eight
domains.
I
I
The
city
approached
site
for
to
implement
a
period
and
ypc
Cipher
and
they've
delivered.
What
has
impressed
me
about
Cipher
is
the
depth
of
which
its
leadership
understands,
how
the
system
works
and
the
systematic
impact
I
also
want
to
credit
Cipher
for
integrating
the
community
and
where
many
leaders
were
exhausted
by
prior
promises
and
efforts
and
previous
Consultants
Cipher
came
through.
Thank
you
so
much

County's
juvenile
court
services
unit
with
more
than
19
years
of
service
in
the
criminal

field.
I
recognize
the
value
of
strong
community-based
programming
that
utilizes
peer
learning
to
positively
impact
the
lives
of
use.
I
know
Miss
Patel
understands
that
as
well.
T
We
previously
worked
together
on
many
tough
cases
and
towards
the
same
goals:
improving
the
lives
of
Children
and
Youth.
Cyep
is
a
strong
supporter
of

because
it
recognizes

and
that
it

Thank
you
for
your
time.
A
U
Good
evening
good
evening,
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
speak
well.
I
agree
with
everything
I've
heard
today
from
the
folks
here,
speaking
about
restorative
practices
and
I'm.
Here,
as
a
member
of
the
community,
I
bring
a
unique
perspective,
I
think
to
this
restorative
practices:
criminal,
defense
attorney
for
22
years,
representing
people
with
the
most
serious
series
of
crimes.
U
I
was
a
small
time
prosecutor,
not
like
Miss
Newton,
of
course,
but
the
very
limited
town
of
Vienna
I've
been
a
defendant
a
couple
times
now:
I'm
a
judge
and
I'm,
not
speaking
to
as
a
judge
I'm
speaking
to
as
a
citizen,
part
of
Steward
of
Arlington,
given
two
and
a
half
years
and
many
many
hours
to
this
process
and
I.
Think
a
few
things
just
need
to
be
pointed
out
is
I'm
not
here
to
speak
against
any
program.
U
These
are
wonderful
programs,
restorative
justice,
restorative
initiatives
with
something
that's
needed,
but
we
need
I
would
suggest
something.
That's
all
encompassing
beginning
in
the
schools.
Beginning
with
youth
is
great.
It's
that's
where
it
has
to
start
it's
going
to
be
Generations
before
this
is
accepted,
but
then
there's
the
youth
over
18..
Those
folks
need
to
be
addressed
too.
The
process
for
them
restorative
Arlington,
met
prosecutor,
defense,
attorneys
people
from
the
community
probation
officers,
people
who
have
suffered
crime,
people
who
are
victim
Advocates
that
we
met
with
all
of
them.
U
We
were
educated
by
people
around
the
country
from
programs
in
Chicago,
California,
New,
Mexico,
Arizona
DC,
and
we
learned
a
great
deal.
I
feel
that
I
should
have
a
ba
in
restorative
justices.
All
the
time
that
I've
spent
the
commitment
from
restorative
Arlington
is
beyond
question.
I.
Don't
think
anybody
here
could
question
their
commitment,
their
desire
to
make
things
better
level,
Next
To
None
their
ability,
the
resources
are
all
there,
the
individuals
who
I
heard
from
other
locations,
and
we
could
Trot
them
all
in
here.
U
We
could
hear
from
all
of
them,
but
the
best
thing
is
that
the
board
is
behind
us
everybody's
disappointed.
You
know
you
try
to
get
money
for
your
program,
you
don't
well!
You
know
you
brush
yourself
off
and
you
get
back
up
and
you
try
again
and
I
want
to
let
you
know
the
board
is
that,
for
me,
standing
is
part
of
a
member
of
restorative
Arlington.
U
As
a
member
of
the
community,
as
somebody
well
well
versed
in
procedure,
criminal
procedural
criminal
process
trials,
the
whole
system
is
it
I'm
behind
it,
I'm
committed
to
it
I'm
committed
to
making
it
work.
I
am
committed
to
working
with
every
whatever
group
is
out
there
that
can
put
this
process
forward.
I
helped
write
that
Strategic
Mission
statement,
the
Strategic
initiative
and
the
mission
statement.
U
H
H
A
No
unfortunately,
I'm
gonna
suggests
that
that
concludes
public
comment.
Thank
you
very
much
for
those
who
have
joined
us,
hopefully
moving
straight
onto
that
item,
so
we
encourage
you
to
stay
for
the
conversation.
If
you
like,
we
really
appreciate
hearing
from
members
of
our
community
Madam
clerk.
Could
you
call
that
agenda
item
for
us?
Yes,.
A
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
This
presentation
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Michelle
Cowan
and
Elizabeth
Matlock.
Where
were
you
and
Michelle.
V
Great,
so
I'll
just
provide
some
introductory
and
context
to
the
nofa
in
this
presentation
and
then
we'll
turn
it
as
Mark
mentioned
over
to
my
colleague,
Elizabeth
Matlock,
who
is
relatively
new
to
the
county
manager's
office,
but
it
has
been
great
help
in
steering
and
coordinating
this
nofa
process.
So
the
goals
of
the
nofa
process
were
restorative.
V
Justice
were
largely
driven
by
the
guidance
from
this
board,
which
you
adopted
as
part
of
the
22
budget
adoption
to
redirect
to
the
manager
to
begin
the
transition
of
restorative
Arlington
to
a
community
base,
rather
than
government
government-based
initiative
via
a
Nova
process.
So,
of
course,
the
broad
goal,
then,
is
advancing
restorative
justice
practices
across
the
county
and,
as
noted
I
think
by
a
few
of
the
speakers.
This
was
a
unique
approach
and
very
different
than
many
of
the
other
traditional
procurement
or
other
nofa
process.
V
It
was
meant
to
be
low
barrier
and
really
generate
innovative
ideas
where
we
weren't
saying
here's
what
we
want
you
to
do
instead,
here
tell
us
what
you
think
is
best
to
meet
this
broad
goal,
so
it
was
unique
in
that
sense,
and
then
this
did
use
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
or
of
100
of
one-time
funding
that
you,
you
all,
have
allocated
over
two
different
Cycles
for
the
budget,
so
that's
sort
of
a
big
picture
on
how
this
process
started
and
what
it's
about
and
then
with
that
I'll
turn
it
to
Elizabeth
to
walk
through
more
of
the
details
on
the
process.
V
W
You
so,
as
Michelle
mentioned,
the
nofa
itself
was
rather
Broad.
In
its
nature,
the
application
required
a
description
of
proposed
Services
proposed
metrics
and
whatever
Community
Partnerships
might
be
needed,
a
basic
timeline
for
the
proposal.
It
required
that
the
organization
be
a
501c3
non-profit
and
it
asks
for
biographies
of
Staff
involved.
With
carrying
out
the
proposal,
the
nofa
was
distributed
via
email
to
non-profits,
whose
work
might
intersect
with
restorative
justice
practices,
and
the
nofa
was
also
posted
to
the
county
managers
webpage.
W
As
a
review
panel,
the
review
panel
established
a
rubric
following
the
nofa
guidance.
70
of
the
rubric
was
based
on
the
approach
to
the
project
and
its
ability
to
advance
restorative
justice,
racial
equity
and
diversion
goals
set
forth
by
the
county.
The
review
panel
specifically
took
this
to
mean
that
we
would
look
at
feasibility,
the
program,
description
and
evaluation
and
anticipated
effectiveness
of
The
Proposal
30
of
the
rubric
involved,
responsiveness
to
the
nofa
requirements.
W
The
Center
for
Youth
and
Family
advocacy's
proposal
was
viewed
strongly.
It
included
a
multi-pronged
approach
which
the
review
panel
appreciated.
It
included
the
promoting
empathy
through
Equitable
resolution
peer
program,
which
is
your
more
traditional
restorative
Circle
process,
where
the
offender
and
the
offended
work
together
to
have
an
accountable
Mutual
resolution
and
then
youth
peer
Court,
which
is
infuses
a
peer
court
process
with
restorative
justice
principles.
W
Relax
relate
restore
or
Triple
R,
which
is
a
community-based
program,
allowing
a
safe
space
to
have
a
conversation
again
infused
with
restorative
justice
principles
in
response
to
community
events
such
as
the
January
6
riots
and
legal
advocacy
workshops,
law
which
involve
the
know.
Your
rights
training
for
youth
and
the
review
panel
also
appreciated
zepha's
proposal
in
that
it
was
grounded
in
racial
equity.
W
A
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
Ms
Matlock
appreciate
that
very
much
and
I
assume.
That
concludes
the
presentation,
which
means
the
conversation
is
now
with
the
board.
If
you
want
me
to
open
the
floor
for
questions
of
Staff
about
the
notice
of
funding
available
process
or
questions
or
comments
about
the
County's
ongoing
engagement
in
restorative
justice
and
the
execution
of
the
Strategic
plan,
I'd
like
to
begin
Mr
to
French.
D
I
guess
it's
more
in
the
form
of
a
comment:
I've
been
thinking
recently
about
the
years
since
George,
Floyd's
murder
and
the
Reckoning
that
we
faced
and
the
number
of
speakers
that
we
listened
to
60
odd
speakers,
I,
don't
know
the
precise
number
of
days
ago,
it's
more
than
two
years
I,
don't
know
the
precise
date
May
25th.
D
How
many
days
have
passed,
but
I
do
know
that
what
we
have
been
doing
even
in
Arlington
was
not
good
enough,
and
so
I
am
very
supportive
of
the
direction
that
we're
going
in
with
with
restorative
practices,
and
we
have
all
shared
that
thought.
But
there
is
still
an
urgency,
even
though
the
days
and
and
months
and
years
have
passed,
and
so
that's
just
a
thought
that
just
because
a
lot
of
time
has
passed
doesn't
mean
we
don't
have
a
responsibility
to
urgency.
D
That's
one
thought
and
the
other
I
can
certainly
share
the
mic.
I
do
have
one
that
is
a
little
more
substantive,
just
thought
and
I.
Just
it's
big
picture.
I
think
that
I'm
fully
prepared
to
move
forward
with
this
nofa.
It
was
great
to
hear
the
work
in
Danville
and
I
will
be
interested.
The
the
four
different
components
to
the
award
I'm
interested
in
in
how
those
play
out
and
play
forward.
D
I
do
just
want
to
sort
of
big
pictures,
Stay
Stay,
aware
of
sort
of
some
of
the
context.
We
did
act
on
Saturday
on
item
33,
which
included
us
transferring
an
award,
and
so
maybe
it's
at
a
very
high
level.
Miss
Cowan
I
think
am
I
right
in
understanding
that
there's
still
some
grants
that
were
seeking
to
follow
up
and
work
with
DMF
to
see
how
those
grants
would
be
resolved
and
that
funding
would
also
be
supportive
of
the
overall
direction.
We're
headed.
V
That's
correct
the
afternoon
you
took
on
Saturday
addressed
two
of
the
outstanding
grants
and
DMF
in
particular.
Both
budget
and
procurement
for
the
deputy
director
of
teamf
is
working
with
restorative
Arlington
to
work
through
those
other
remaining
grants,
they're
a
little
bit
more
complicated,
given
that
their
state
and
nature.
D
Thank
you
very
much,
and
so,
without
you
know,
over
promising
at
a
stage
when
we
don't
know
the
resolution
there,
the
overall
direction
that
we're
trying
to
move
in
here,
we
absolutely
have
to
move
in
this
direction.
I
think
the
board
is
Unified
on
that,
and
so
those
are
sort
of
two
one
question.
One
comment
that
I
just
hope
propels
us
as
we
continue
to
remember
the
work
that
we
have
to
do
as
a
community.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr
defranti
Mr
Antonis.
C
Oh,
thank
you
thank
you,
chair
and
thank
everybody
for
coming
today.
That
is
a
very
important
thing.
Research
Justice
is
something
that
we
embarked
about
two
years
ago.
I'm
sort
of
France
is
absolutely
right.
It
was
in
the
wake
of
the
murder
on
George,
Floyd
and
the
you
know
the
now
historic
summer
of
2020
and
I
think
that
the
board
adopted
a
little
bit
later.
A
absolutely
impressive,
in
my
opinion,
strategic
plan
I
do
believe
that
what
we
did
is
part
of
the
implementation
of
the
Strategic
plan.
C
So
it's
it's
a
great
thing
that
we
had
a
notice
of
event.
Availability
of
funding
for
services.
There's
I
do
believe
that
it's
a
great
thing
that
we
did
it
in
the
most
Equitable
way
and
that
there
is
a
competitive
nature
to
this
kind
of
of
of
availability
of
funding
that
there
is
no
discussion
about
that.
So
the
discussion
for
me
is
rather,
what
is
the?
What
is
the
sequence
of
outcomes?
C
If
we,
you
know,
compare
it
to
our
to
our
strategic
plan,
so,
for
example,
you
just
said
that
we
are
expect
Mo
use
to
be
you
know,
finalized.
Of
course,
we
cannot
force
any
other
entity
to
know
you
and
nobody
can,
but
what
is
the
desired
so
that
that
corresponds
to
our
strategic
plan,
because
this
shows
the
you
know
the
the
relationships
with
the
community,
and
we
know
that
restorative
justice
works
when
relationships
with
the
community
are
the
strongest
and
most
and
best
networked.
So
what
do
we
expect
there?
C
V
Think
that's
a
conversation
we're
having
with
cyphon
now
and
what
relevant
departments
would
be
included.
So
we're
happy
to
follow
up
on
that.
I
think
it
would
be
some
of
the
ones
that
we
mentioned
around
the
review
panel
and
could
be
broader
than
that.
But
that's
you
know
clearly
part
of
what
the
agreement
anticipates
as
part
of
the
execution
and
the
funding
that
becomes
undistributed
and
available.
C
Excellent,
a
second
question,
because
this
is
really
very
near
and
dear
to
me
and
I
believe
that
sci-fi
is,
you
know
known
for
being
excellent
in
delivery
on
this,
so
the
the
Arlington
public
school
system
was
at
the
very
beginning
in
the
in
the
center
of
our
core
of
our
discussions
right.
You
know,
I
still
remember
very
vividly
how,
in
2020
and
after
that,
we
have
been
talking
a
lot
about
the
school
to
prison,
Pipeline
and
how
restorative
justice
was
considered.
C
You
know
actually,
first
and
foremost,
for
you
know,
implementation
in
the
you
know
in
this,
in
in
Arlington,
Public
Schools
or
with
the
collaboration
of
available
Public
Schools.
Are
they
part
of
this
conversation?
Where
are
they
going
to
be
part
of
this
conversation?
They.
V
Were
not
involved
in
the
details
of
the
nofa
or
the
selection
panel,
but
I
will
say
that
you
know
I
I
meet
with
their
Chief
Operating
Officer
at
a
weekly
basis.
I
know,
Samia
reaches
Samia
bird
meets
with
her.
V
Her
counterpart
I
had
conversations
already
with
John
Mayon
so
that
they
were
in
the
loop
of
what
we
were
doing
so
I
think
we're
well
well
coordinated
and
I
know
that
they
have
their
own
sort
of
approach
to
this
as
well.
In
that
restorative
Arlington
is
working
with
them,
but
I
don't.
It
is
not
that
APS
is
an
afterthought
in
this
at
all,
just
sort
of
how
how
we've
been
with.
C
A
Absolutely
I
wanted
to
just
make
a
comment
along
the
lines
of
your
your
first
point:
Mr,
Karen,
Thomas
I
think
it's
so
important
to
have
this
opportunity
for
us
to
articulate
that
the
idea
of
Shifting,
the
sort
of
locus
of
restorative
justice
to
a
community-based
organization,
which
has
always
been
the
goal,
does
not
mean
that
government
does
not
continue
to
play
a
role
and
I
think
as
Ms
Cowan
just
mentioned,
there's
an
expectation
that
some
of
the
agencies
involved
in
the
nofa
process
will
continue
to
work
directly
with
providers,
including
the
the
one
with
whom
this
action
will
enter
us
into
agreement,
to
figure
out
how
the
restorative
justice
practices,
be,
they
training
or
the
expectations
of
that
agency's
role
in
restorative
conferencing
or
other
elements
of
the
community.
A
How
those
will
play
out?
That's
really
important
and
I,
know
I.
Think
I
speak
for
all
of
us
in
saying
that's
important
for
us
as
a
County
Board.
We
want
to
see
our
agencies
that
maybe
have
been
part
of
traditional
Justice
right,
be
be
partners
in
shifting
towards
a
more
restorative
approach.
So
I
I'm
glad
you.
You
brought
that
up
Mr
Karen
Thomas,
because
this
certainly
does
not
represent
the
the
Alpha
and
Omega
of
the
counties.
Involvement
in
what
is
a
shift
in
in
culture
and
systems.
A
I'll
add
one
more
comment
to
of
my
own
and
then
look
for
emotion,
which
is
just
to
say,
Ms
Matt,
like
I,
appreciate
in
the
in
the
presentation,
your
reference
to
some
of
the
community-based
practices
for
kind
of
community-wide
restorative
justice.
You
know
I'll
say
when
I,
when
I
looked
at
our
action
plan
right,
which
is
sort
of
formed
around
these
logic
models.
The
idea
that
there
would
be
a
a
particular
logic
model
of
flow
for
outcomes.
We
hope
to
see
in
schools
in
the
in
the
justice
system
and
then
in
the
community.
A
That
is
also
the
hardest
thing
to
do,
right
to
actually
facilitate
community-wide
change,
and
so
to
know
that
that
was
something
that
the
nofa
committee
looked
for,
to
really
ascertain
what
are
the
elements
of
a
proposal
that
can
facilitate
creating
a
community
that
can
collectively
grapple
with
the
impacts
of
systemic
racism.
A
A
This
is
a
shift,
as
others
have
talked
about
and
and
I
think
you
know,
Ms
Cowan
talked
about
it.
Well,
we
we
wanted
to
hear
from
the
community
about
what
the
proposals
were
instead
of
dictating
outcomes,
that
puts
a
lot
of
responsibility
on
the
shoulders
of
those
who
are
reviewing.
Proposals
and
I
really
appreciate
the
willingness
of
this
interdisciplinary
group
of
subject
matter
experts
in
guiding
Us
in
that
regard.
So
let's
conclude
my
comments:
I'm
going
to
look
to
Mr
differenti
for
emotion,
yes,.
D
I'll
move
the
county
manager
manager's
recommendation
that
we
approve
the
restorative
justice
Arlington
agreement
attached
to
the
staff
report,
which
outlines
the
disbursement
and
management
terms
and
conditions
of
funding
associated
with
restorative
justice
notice
of
funding
availability,
in
addition,
authorize
the
county
manager
or
the
county
manager's
designee
to
sign
on
behalf
of
the
Arlington
County
Board,
the
agreement
between
Arlington
County,
the
Center
for
Youth
and
Family
advocacy,
the
recipient
of
the
restorative
justice.
Now
for
Grant.
Second,.
A
D
Just
briefly,
the
motion
is
made
would
I
very
much
appreciate
your
remarks.
Both
I
was
perhaps
over
Broad
in
in
the
reform
sense.
You
brought
us
to
to
more
specificity.
I
will
say
that
I
believe
that
I
I
am
sometimes
both
and
and
additive
approaches
to
address
this
whole
area,
where
I
think
we
need
to
make
significant
strides
and
Investments
is
the
spirit
that
brings
the
motion
thanks.
Thank.
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I'm,
happy
to
support
the
motion,
we'll
note
the
larger
conversation
about
the
role
of
restorative
practices,
restorative
justice
in
our
community,
like
the
field
itself,
is
ongoing
and
we
should
embrace
the
the
inquiry
of
all
the
possibilities
of
where
that
can
take
us
and
to
consider
where
we
are
now
the
end
game
for
where
we
will
be
I.
Don't
want
to
send
that
signal
at
all,
because
we
are
at
the
earliest
stages
of
growing.
K
K
If
you
will
are
going
to
be
really
exciting
things
to
see
in
action
that
we
can
learn
from
model
evaluate,
hopefully
replicate
figure
out
how
they
may
be
applicable
to
different
groups
in
our
society,
how
it
might
be
a
part
of
you
know
very
how
it
might
be
a
part
of
different
organizations
and
systems
that
exist
within
Arlington.
So
we're
going
to
learn
a
lot
and
I'm
excited
that
that
Scythe
is
going
to
be
a
partner
in
helping
us.
K
Do
it
and
I
appreciate
resident
Lopez's
remarks
that
as
it
comes
to
this
work,
it's
always
going
to
be
disappointing
when
not
every
great
idea
can
be
funded
and
we
have
to
figure
out
well,
okay.
What
do
we
do
next
and
I
think
what
you've
heard
from
everyone
is
that
that's
not
going
to
be
on
any
one
entity.
That's
going
to
be
on
all
of
us
to
figure
out
how
we
make
sure
we
bring
the
resources
to
ensure
that
the
best
of
restorative
practices
in
all
the
ways
it
can
help
Arlington
is
brought
to
Arlington.
B
Very
happy
to
support
the
motion.
I
think
we're
making
a
couple
of
big
steps
forward,
one
in
the
way
it's
done
and
thank
you
to
the
staff
for
the
whole
nofo
process.
I've
been
on
the
board
a
little
over
10
years
now
and
I've
long
been
kind
of
uncomfortable
with
the
the
kind
of
the
squishiness
of
how
it
was
described
by
Ms
Whitfield.
So
I'm
really
pleased
that
we're
making
some
some
great
strides
in
how
we
make
these
Awards
and
then
I
note
Earl
Conklin
I
think
is
in
the
back.
B
My
my
glasses
aren't
quite
good
enough
to
see
you
back
there,
but
I.
Think
and
I
I
will
just
say
that
my
I
kind
of
had
my
eyes
open
in
some
ways
about
10
years
ago,
in
my
first
budget
session
here
when
Mr
Conklin
was
here
and
people
talking
about
the
work
with
young
people
and
I
realized
in
listening
to
what
you
were
trying
to
do
struggling
with
systems
that
weren't
really
set
up.
B
Sometimes
to
do
it,
which
was
to
to
help
young
people,
they
may
have
fallen
into
hard
times
and
things,
but
they
they
needed
support.
They
needed
something
different.
It
would
such
a
health
much
more
healthy
approach
to
handling
folks
that
have
kind
of
had
a
hard
time
and
done
some
things
they
maybe
shouldn't
have,
but
really
need
need,
support
and
and
not
taking
the
just
the
punishment
kind
of
Route
and
that's
not
exactly
a
restorative
justice.
B
But
it's
kind
of
there
was
the
attitude
towards
how
we
handle
this
community
and
how
we
handle
everyone
in
our
community
and
try
to
bring
everyone
along
and
this
approach
to
restorative
justice,
which
is
just
another
big
step
in
making
it
explicit
in
what
we're
kind
of
trying
to
do
is
really
great,
so
I
think
it.
Actually.
B
This
represents
really
kind
of
a
big,
a
big
step
forward
and
I
want
to
thank
everybody
for
participating,
and
it's
great
that
we've
got
different
groups
doing
this,
because
we
really
do
need
a
whole
of
community
approach
to
these
issues.
So
thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
in
I
I'm
going
to
support
the
motion
as
well.
I
think
that
no
offense
and
no
fight
I
I
wish
we
wouldn't
be
even
discussing
that,
because
the
outcome
of
an
offer
should
be
funded
since
the
it's
a
straightforward
thing
and
federal
government.
This
is
done
so
I,
don't
I,
don't
find.
You
know,
I
understand
that
Virginia
laws
compels
us
to
do
what
we
are
doing
right
now,
but
other
than
that
it
should
be
a
more
straightforward
process.
C
I
think,
and
what
I'm
excited
about
is
that
yes,
we're
waiting
in
in
the
nitty-gritty
and
in
the
weeds
of
what
restorative
justice
can
be
about
in
Arlington.
This
is
the
first
time
that
we
take.
You
know,
take
a
bold
step.
We
put
public
money
into
these
processes.
We
make
good
on
the
Strategic
pledge
that
we
made
a
little
bit
less
than
two
years
ago,
and
this
is
a
strategic
pledge
that
has
many
many
many
components.
First
of
all,
it
includes
a
lot
of
agencies.
C
First
of
all,
it
includes
a
lot
of
work
from
many
people
from
research
development
to
sci-fi,
to
many
others
through
the
the
community
in
general.
I
will
never
forget
that
our
our
striving
to
implement
restorative
justice
practice
in
Arlington
is
a
genuinely
generally
a
Community
Driven
effort.
We
have
been
told
by
hundreds
of
people
in
my
case,
I
can
attest
that
that
we
cannot
continue
with
traditional
Criminal
Justice
System.
C
We
have
to
provide
an
alternative
to
that
and
then
come
the
institutional
Partners
here
for
for
and
and
if
there
is
one
thing
that
I
will
be
watching
through
this
year
or
year,
and
a
half
of
implementation
of
this
Grant
and
all
of
all
other
grants
that
will
be
given
to
us
or
you
know,
will
benefit
our
lincolntonians
at
the
end
is
how
we
get
this
institutional
Partners.
Whether
this
is
the
commonless
attorney.
C
Well,
this
is
the
court
services
where
this
is
Arlington,
Public
Schools,
where
this
is
the
the
Arlington
County
Police
Department
or
the
community
in
general.
C
How
are
these
Partners
going
to
be
enmeshed
in
in
a
system
that
will
actually
deliver
on
what
I
am
most
interested
in,
which
which
is
that
the
people
who
we
want
to
divert
from
the
traditional
justice
system
that
we
successfully
do
them,
that
there
is
one
pathway
in
Arlington
way
if
you
want
that
will
be
available
to
everybody
to
to
go
through
and
have
Justice
delivered
and
peace
delivered
this
one
this
way,
instead
of
sending
people
to
call
to
to
the
to
the
jail
so
I'm
I'm.
C
The
second
thing
that
I
will
be
looking
at
is
how
we
involve
the
the
people
who
we
have
always
who
the
traditional
justice
system
or
the
criminal
justice
system
excludes,
and
these
people
are
actually
harmed
people
first.
So
you
know
when
you
step
into
a
court,
the
commonless
attorney
or
the
accusatory
part
takes
the
the
takes.
C
The
the
role
of
representing
the
harm
people
in
a
restorative
justice
system
and
I
learned
that
you
know,
after
a
lot
of
studying
I've,
been
instructed
to
to
understand
that
they
have
to
participate
as
well,
and
this
is
so
immensely
critical,
and
this
is
another
element
that
I
will
be
looking
at
when
we
make.
You
know
when
we
see
how
this
grant
has
worked
Etc-
and
you
know
in
our
own
ongoing
evaluation
of
all
this,
so
thanks
again
staff
for
doing
this
Pioneer
work.
This
is
not
not
easy.
C
We
we
always
know
that
it
will
never
be
easy,
but
this
was
literally
the
first
the
first
time,
and
it
was
you
know
in
a
in
a
field
that
you
know
it's
unusual
for
a
County
government
to
do
so.
We
recognize
the
difficulties
and
I.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
patience
and
for
for
everything
you.
You
provide
us
an
input
here
and
I
look
forward
to
to
more
on
on
criminal
justice
on
restorative
justice
initiatives.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
Mr
Karen,
Thomas,
all
right
with
that
I
believe
we
are
ready
for
a
vote
on
Mr
defranti's
motion,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed
all
right
that
carries
unanimously
and
thank
you
again
to
all
involved
all
right.
We
have
one
more
item
to
come
before
the
board.
It
is
a
motion.
A
I
will
make
myself,
which
is
as
follows:
I
move
that
the
County
Board
authorized
the
County
Attorney
to
bring
an
action
for
declaratory
and
injunctive
relief
in
the
Arlington
County
circuit
court
against
the
owners
of
1713
North
Cameron
Street
to
bring
the
property
into
compliance
with
all
applicable
laws.
Is
there
a
second
second?
Thank
you
so
much
and
to
speak
very
briefly
to
that.
I
just
want
to
emphasize
that
this
is
a
motion
to
authorize
the
County
Attorney.
To
do
this,
it
is
not
a
motion
to
actually
bring
that
action
all
right.
A
Unless
there's
any
further
discussion,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye.
Are
there
any
opposed
all
right
that
carries
unanimously
Madam
clerk?
Is
there
anything
else
to
come
before
the
board?
No,
there
is
not
all
right
with
that.
We
are
adjourned.
Thank
you
so
much,
ladies
and
gentlemen
hungry.
Oh
my
God.
