From YouTube: Arlington County Board Work Session - April 18, 2023
Description
FY24 Budget - Markup
A
Good
afternoon
now
call
this
work
session
to
order.
This
is
board
chair,
Christian
Dorsey
joined
today
by
colleagues,
Vice,
chair,
Garvey
and
board
members,
Matthew
ferranti,
Katie,
Crystal
and
Takis
Karen
Thomas
today
marks
our
final
budget
or
work
session,
or
hopefully,
final
budget
work
session
and
we'll
include
a
markup
of
some
of
the
potential
changes
that
we
can
make
at
this
point
in
preparation
of
considering
the
budget
for
adoption,
this
upcoming
Saturday.
A
Why
don't
we
just
begin
with
a
discussion
on
what
is
known
as
the
Chairman's
Mark,
which
explains
some
ways
of
reaching
budget
balance
and
outlining
what
decisions
are
still
left
to
be
made
during
this
conversation.
Of
course,
anything
that
is
presented
is
open
to
revision
and
amendment
in
advance
of
budget
adoption.
So
as
we
pull
that
up
on
the
screen.
A
I
will
explain
it
briefly
and
then
have
a
relative
informal
discussion
before
I'll
formally
move
this,
and
then
it
can
be
considered
for
Amendment.
So
if
we
start
off
at
the
top
to
situate
us
where,
where
we
sort
of
begin,
this
balancing
exercise,
there's
a
total
of
6.9
million
in
one-time
funding
available
along
with
3.8
million
in
ongoing
funding
for
10.7
million
dollars,
total
from
that
figure,
there
were
a
number
of
items
that
were
recommended
by
the
county
manager
as
a
result
of
his
mid-year
and
third
quarter.
A
A
43.
and
collectively
those
left
the
board,
with
approximately
1.6
million
in
ongoing
funding
and
four
point
something
million
in
one-time
funding
available
from
there
collecting
some
sense
of
collective
or
consensus
priorities.
Here
are
a
number
of
additions
that
are
included
in
lines
44
through
53
I'll,
explain
them
briefly
line
44.
This
is
to
increase
the
capacity
at
a
a
relatively
senior
policy
level
to
support
the
work
at
DHS.
A
The
Clarendon
Alliance,
the
Columbia
Pike
partnership
and
the
Langston
Boulevard
Alliance,
those
three
organizations
have,
with
minor
exceptions,
been
essentially
flat
for
funding
for
the
last
several
years,
and
while
there
is
a
lot
that
they
are
providing
and
a
lot
that
they
still
want
to
continue
to
provide,
they
are
limited
by
their
capacity
to
hire
the
requisite
staff
to
fulfill
those
desires,
and
they
have
much
less.
A
They
have
more
limited.
Excuse
me
ways
of
having
their
budgets
rise
to
accommodate.
Increasing
staff
needs
compared
to
our
bids,
for
example.
So
this
provides
a
level
of
up
updating
and
stabilization
of
their
financial
picture.
Arlington
Independent
Media
somewhat
similar
story.
This
is
to
restore
funding.
That
brings
them
approximately
to
where
they
were
before.
We
began
a
multi-year
step
down
in
funding
for
that
organization.
A
What
that
would
do
is
take
ahif
to
covering
about
one-third
of
the
projected
shortfall
that
would
occur
in
in
fiscal
year,
25
as
balances
are
drawn
down
and
the
ability
to
fund
new
projects
become
significantly
compromised,
so
that
would
restore
about
one-third
of
that
projected
shortfall,
and
it
would
also
provide
the
space
if
there
is
a
program
developed
to
leverage
ahif
to
support
affordability
in
expanded
housing
options,
development
that
would
provide
about
a
million
and
a
half
conceptually
available.
For
that,
then,
for
Culpepper
Gardens.
A
We
have
heard
significant
challenges
that
they
have
had
with
Assisted
Living
residents
and
not
being
able
to
provide
the
growing
subsidy
for
income
constrained
seniors.
This
level
of
funding
would
allow
for
at
least
eight
seniors
to
be
subsidized
at
the
levels
that
are
required
at
Culpepper
and
last
piece.
This
is
a
little
bit
of
a
change
from
what
you
saw
this
afternoon,
where
the
original
plan
was
to
propose
that
there
be
some
funding
available
for
our
department
of
Technology
services
to
leverage
consultant
help
through
an
ongoing
subscription
that
they
have
with
Gartner.
A
That
has
since
been
vetted
and
and
shown
to
be
able
to
be
fulfilled
through
other
means.
So
this
proposal
is
to
provide
some
capacity
for
the
Department
of
Parks
and
Recreation
to
increase
their
program,
programming
and
Staffing
of
out-of-school
time
activities.
They
are
doing
some
work
to
undergo
so
what
might
be
necessary
and
desirable
throughout
the
year.
This
provides
the
ability
for
them
to
implement
them.
A
Should
those
decisions
be
reached
before
the
next
budget
cycle
and
all
together
that
will
leave
if
we'll
scroll
down
approximately
15
000
in
one-time
funding
available
and
a
little
less
than
eighty
thousand
in
ongoing
available
for
a
total
of
ninety
four
nine
twelve,
and
these
puts
collectively
at
two
and
a
half
ftes
to
the
roster
and.
A
B
So,
on
the
just
as
a
question,
so
the
the
the
additional
line,
53
program
and
Staffing
for
the
teen
programs
for
DPR.
It
seems
like
a
direct
conversion
of
the
previous
appropriation
for
The
Gardener's
licenses.
Is
there
any
or
from
staff?
Is
there
any
insight
whether
this
is
a
useful
number
for
for
the
purpose?
I.
C
Think
it's
a
good
starting
point
like
I
right
now.
Dpr
is
really
actively
working
on
a
series
of
new
Teen
programming
ideas,
not
only
internally
within
Parks
but
they're
talking
with
the
District
of
Columbia,
which
has
a
whole
Suite
of
really
Innovative
team
programming.
That
I
think
we
can
learn
from,
as
well
as
with
libraries,
DHS
other
partners
in
the
county.
I
think
that
work
is
like
one
or
two
months
away
from
being
crystallized,
no
matter
what
no
matter,
no
matter,
what
I
think
we're
going
to
need
staff,
it's
a
good
down
payment.
C
B
So
to
understand
that
correctly,
this
this
would
go
to
Staffing.
We
don't
know
at
this
moment
where
this
is
one
FTE
or
0.8
FTS
or
you
know,
yeah
is
TBD.
C
Right
TBD
right
right,
but
we
often
very
often
for
some
of
these
programmings
we
use,
we
use
temp
staff
and
that's
the
way
it
kind
of
works.
So
I
don't
know,
and
we
can.
We
can
make
those
bureaucratic,
FTE
things
work
and
if
we
need
to
make
an
adjustment
for
an
FTE,
we
can
do
so
a
close-up.
If
that
makes
sense,
does
that
does.
D
So,
from
my
perspective,
I
would
see
this
as
almost
seed
money,
so
to
speak,
an
opportunity
to
do
some
near-term
activities
to
to
demonstrate
I
think
some
of
the
urgency
that
we're
all
feeling
as
a
community,
whereas
it
may
take
a
little
bit
longer
for
a
long-term
strategy
to
come
together.
E
Just
overall
thank
you
for,
for
all
the
work
and
and
broadly
this
is
I'm
just
it
reflects
housing
climate
seeking
to
serve
our
youth
and
many
of
the
priorities
that
I
think
we've
talked
about
over
the
past
work
sessions,
I'm
mindful
that
there's
you
know
15
and
nearly
80
80
000,
there's
not
sort
of
towards
the
final
stages
I'll
surface,
something
without
knowing
that
I've
got
a
solution
and
that
is
I
have
had
a
couple
of
conversations
with
and
and
I
guess.
E
This
would
be
competing
for
what's
left
mostly,
but
I've
had
a
couple
of
conversations
with
the
one
conversation
with
one
of
the
judges
and
with
respect
to
there's
a
criminal
Corrections
unit
which
is
essentially
probation
and
because
we
have
shifted
our
much
more
diversion,
there's
an
indication
that
a
half
time
and
starting
in
January
there
may
be
a
need
for
someone
to
help
relieve
caseloads
to
be
transparent.
There
is
a
vacancy
that
they're
working
to
fill,
but
vacancies
are
harder
to
fill
when
you
have
immense
caseloads
and
so
I.
E
Just
won't
I,
don't
know
if
that
quite
fits,
but
the
score
that
I
talked
a
little
bit
with
Miss
Cowan
was
about
47,
000.
I.
Don't
quite
I
think
you
count,
you
would
count
it
as
ongoing,
but
it's
also
a
one-time
for
next
budget
year.
We
should
do
fiscally
responsible
steps
and
so
I
don't
quite
know
that
it
fits,
but
I
did
want
to
just
put
it
out
there
and
kind
of
indicate
that
I
have
done
a
little
homework
on
it.
I
just
didn't
you
know,
didn't
quite
and
and
I
think
what
you've
done
it.
E
D
Think
it's
on
row,
27
of
the
other
potential
budget
allocations,
yeah.
C
It's
DHS,
it's
a
Community
Corrections
unit
is
within
DHS
and
it
is
everything
I
believe
it's
in
Behavioral,
Health,
Division,
csb,
I
can't
recall,
but
yes,
the
Community
Corrections
unit,
it's
about
staff
to
for
their
down
one
vacancy
their
case.
Loads
have
been
really
really
high,
almost
double
like
90,
a
person
once
they
get
this
vacancy
filled,
which
is
not
unlike
any
other
story.
We've
told
you
about
clinicians
that
that
world,
so
hopefully
that
vacancy
would
be
filled
but
I
think
to
get
it.
C
F
F
F
So
I,
one
thing
I'd
like
to
mention
which
I've
talked
to
some
of
my
colleagues
about-
is
that
the
climate
FTE
I
think
most
likely
will
not
I've
talked
with
our
with
Bill
egger
and
I
have
the
impression
that
probably
not
ready
to
actually
hire
somebody
till
January,
so
I
think
I
have
an
FTE
or
half
the
year
would
work
there,
which
might
be
a
place
to
pick
up
some
extra
money
and,
as
my
colleagues
know,
I
would
like
to
put
in
62
000
to
get
our
our
salaries,
County
Board
salaries
up
to
the
maximum
that
we
can
do
right
now
and
my
continuing
effort
to
make
County
Board
salaries
close
to
an
average
income
here
in
Arlington
and
make
it
more
possible
for
more
people
to
actually
campaign
for
these
positions.
F
I
know
there
are
six
people
running
right
now,
but
people
come
at
very
different
parts
of
their
career
and
I.
Think
it's
harder
and
harder
for
experienced
people
to
actually
run
for
these
positions
and
hold
them.
So
I
would
like
to
offer
that
as
something
to
put
in
all.
F
A
And
that
would
be
funded
by
ongoing,
taking
130
I'm
sorry
taking.
F
Well,
there
actually
was
79
left,
so
there
was
enough
left
originally
when
we
started
this
discussion.
If
we
take
what
Mr
D
Franti
would
like
to
do,
but
I
I
think
it
may
work,
somebody
else
will
have
to
do
the
math
but
I'm,
assuming
if
we
cut
the
climate
person
back
to
a
half
a
year,
which
I
think
is
all
we're
going
to
actually
be
able
to
do.
That
would
free
up
perhaps
enough
to
make
the
difference,
but
I
haven't
on
the
Fly
I've
been
doing
the
math.
A
Okay,
any
other
discussion,
and
then
we
can
well
actually
before
we
even
do
that.
Why
don't
I
finish
out
just
the
balance
of
what
we're
doing
for
those
who
are
keeping
tabs
at
home?
There
is
an
implication
for
school
funding
for
everything
that
has
been
done
and
their
one-time
funding
is
been
modestly
adjusted.
A
Based
on
the
mid-year
and
third
quarter
results,
and
then
on
the
ongoing
side,
there's
an
additional
make
sure
I'm
going
to
get
this
right,
782
912
dollars
that
is
going
to
flow
to
them.
Now,
just
to
be
clear.
If
we
applied
our
traditional
Revenue
sharing
principles,
that
number
would
be
782,
912,
plus
520.
A
However,
we
are
funding
an
initiative
that
we
discussed
through
our
work
sessions,
where
we
will
have
behavioral
therapists
that
are
hired,
supervised
and
overhead
provided
by
DHS,
but
who
will
be
otherwise
available.
It's
full-time,
School
Employees.
So
as
a
result
of
that
relationship,
the
Staffing
costs
are
being
born.
The
direct
Staffing
costs
for
the
four
ftes
are
coming
from
the
school's
transfer
portion,
and
so
with
the
slight
reduction
in
one-time
funding
available
to
them
and
increase
the
net
increase
in
ongoing
funding.
F
A
All
right,
I
guess
it's
now
time
to
see
if
people
want
to
look
at
amending
this
and
we'll
just
follow
our
modified
robbers,
Rules
of
Order,
so
I'll
just
go
ahead
and
move
this
Mark
for
further
discussion
and
I'll
be
in
need
of
a
second
seconded
by
Ms
Garvey
I've
already
been
discussed
and
explained.
So
why
don't
we
move
to
proposed
amendments?
Miss,
Crystal,
well,.
D
I'm
actually
prepared
Mr
defranti's
Indulgence
happy
to
move
your
recommendation
about
the
halftime
Behavioral
Health
docket
position.
If
I
have
a
second
board,
I
wanted
to
actually
ask
a
clarifying
question.
Okay,
so
I
I
did
want
to
be
clear
because
one
of
the
things
of
which
I'm
cognizant
is
that
DHS
is,
of
course
in
their
funding
or
their
Staffing
crises,
as
the
entire
field
is
experiencing
right.
D
Now
we
had
had
that
listed
as
a
potential
budget
allocation
for
GDC,
and
my
understanding
were
that
the
judges
were
interested
in
hiring
somebody
within
court
services.
For
that
role
do
I
have
that
wrong.
It
was
exclusively
a
DHS
role.
D
C
That
goes
into
it
in
terms
of
meeting
check-ins
drug
screening,
just
all
the
thing
that
comes
with
being
on
probation
and
then
the
extra
supports
that
are
needed
to
be
successful
in
the
behavioral
health
docket.
It's
that
true
services
and
that's
provided
via
the
Community
Corrections
unit,
embedded
in
Behavioral,
Health
and
DHS,
so
I
didn't
think
they
were
looking
for
GDC
for
court
services.
It
was
really
DHS
is
providing
the
backbone
of
of
that,
and
we
have
like
I,
said
a
four-person
unit.
C
Right
now,
with
one
supervisor
two
are
filled,
we
have
one
vacancy
we've
been
struggling,
but
we've
been
HR
has
been
awesome
about
trying
to
work
through
okay.
What
do
we
do
on
all
these
areas?
To
get
these
positions
filled
and
I
think
we
have
some
as
Matt
and
I
were
talking
about
the
other
day,
some
optimism
that
we're
making
good
progress
there.
We
don't
feel
that
the
caseload
is
going
away,
and
this
could
also
possibly
facilitate
the
accommodation
of
the
docket
expansion.
It
would
be
difficult
to
do
so
without
that
resource.
D
I
really
appreciate
that,
just
to
speak
to
it,
I
think
it
is
is
worthy
of
inclusion,
particularly
given
for
the
relatively
small
sum
that
represents
the
balance.
I
will
note,
it
I
think
that
would
leave
us
with
with
a
bit
left
over
so
to
speak.
D
There
may
be
other
claims
on
it,
but
we
I
believe
need
to
both
authorize
the
creation
of
the
FTE
and
fund
it
if
there
is
some
balance
remaining
and
there
is
an
opportunity
to
bring
that
person
on
sooner
than
a
half
year
and
some
additional
dollars
might
allow
for
that
flexibility
I
would
be
supportive
of
an
allocation
above
the
the
45
000,
but
I
think
assuming
optimism,
as
you
said
that
we
may
be
able
to
bring
more
professionals
on,
certainly
the
opportunity
to
expand.
D
F
Yeah,
thank
you,
so
I'm
I
realize
that
the
way
we're
doing
it
I'm
a
little
bit
in
a
conundrum,
so
I
I
think
this
is
great.
It's
a
good
position,
but
I
only
want
to
do
it.
If
we
can
cut
the
climate,
because
I
have
to
do
cut
a
trade-off.
I
need
to
leave
enough
funds
for
what
I
want
to
do
right
on
the
on
the
board
salaries.
F
So
I'm
not
quite
sure
how
to
do
that.
So
if
we
can
reduce
the
climate
FTE
to
start
in
January,
which
is
I,
think
when
it
will
actually
happen,
which
would
free
up
enough
money
to
cover
this
and
to
do
what
I
would
like
with
board
salaries,
then
I'm
fine
with
it.
But
if
we're
not
doing
that,
then
I
won't
be
voting
for
it
and
I'm
not
sure
how
to
handle
that.
Because
I
don't
know
where
we're
going
to
be.
A
Yeah,
it's
a
little
tricky
I.
Think
we,
my
sense
of
reading
the
tea
leaves
is
that
we
are.
This
is
not
going
to
be
complex
enough
for
us
to
keep
the
math
straight
in
our
heads
and
understand
the
implications
of
our
decisions,
and
if
we
end
up
in
a
situation
where
we
approve
more
than
we
have
the
dollars
we'll
go
through
a
process
of
figuring
out
what
the
cuts
are.
A
You
know
the
probation
system
is
one
that
can
be
really
difficult
in
terms
of
how
it's
stacked
against
someone
who
is
on
probation
or
parole
their
ability
to
not
that
I'm
calling
out
anyone,
specifically
in
Arlington,
but
their
ability
to
be
subject
to
Draconian
conditions
and
people
who
violate
them
based
on
trivial
transgressions
is
great
and
having
an
advocate.
Someone
who
can
counsel
and
help
support
is
a
way
to
ensure
that
they
can
be
successful,
which
I
think
is
the
goal.
A
Anyone
who
is
placed
on
probation
so
that
meets
certainly
with
my
support.
So
thank
you
for
for
raising
it.
Thank
you.
Mr
chair,
Mr,
Karen,
Thomas,.
B
In
the
same
vein,
I
I
had
the
somber
opportunity
to
see
how
it
works
and
what
happens
when
it
doesn't
work
optimally,
and
it's
really
a
a
you
know.
Probation
system
can
be
a
mechanism
of
recycling
people
back
to
in
compliance
and
therefore
with
Draconian
consequences.
So
that's
that's
a
pillar
of
equity,
of
an
equitable
justice
system
to
actually
equip
this
system
with
the
best
people
we
can
possibly
afford.
So
I'm
I
support
that,
and
we
can,
you
know,
work
through
the
the
reminder
of
the
positions
in
the
draft
budget.
A
Thank
you
any
further
discussion
on
this
particular
proposal.
Now
move
to
a
vote,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye
any
opposed
the
eyes
have
it
that
is
included.
You
see
the
effect
on
our
running
total
leaves
about
32
000
in
ongoing
forty
seven
thousand
dollars
total.
But
again
this
is
all
fluid.
So
don't
don't
worry
this
is
you.
F
Yeah
sure
I'll
make
a
motion
that
we
add
62
000
for
board
salaries
to
increase
our
board
salaries,
get
us
closer
to
a
living
wage
for
people,
doing
this
job
and
it
commensurate
with
the
time
and
the
skills
needed.
D
This
is
a
really
interesting
art
where
you
find
my
Mr.
This
really
interesting
conversation
I
was
thinking
about
this.
In
light
of
the
you
know,
the
increases
last
year
and
we
had
talked
about
trying
to
get
to
something
like
that
area.
Immediate
income
for
a
one-person
household,
so
I
think
that
is
reasonable.
I
am
cognizant,
however,
that
this
is
coming
in
context
of
our
first
year
of
negotiated
wage
increases
with
employees,
and
that
feels
like
a
context
in
which
I
look
at
significant
jumps
in
County
Board
compensation
a
little
bit
differently.
D
I
I
will
participate
in
this
one
I
think
in
some
ways
being
most
dispassionate
about
it
is,
is
helpful
here,
but
I
really
I'm,
in
other
words,
I,
think,
given
the
sort
of
sense
of
wanting
to
find
parity
with
the
the
general
employee
base
after
the
negotiated
salaries
that
we
were
considering
this
year
by
collective
bargaining
would
not
be
voting
for
it,
but
I
did
want
to
associate
myself
with
one
of
the
arguments
Ms
Garvey
made,
which
is
the
idea
of
encouraging
more
individuals
to
run,
which
is
I.
D
Think
a
really
valid
goal
and
I
know
last
year,
when
we
did
the
the
twenty
thousand
dollar
pay
increases.
We
talked
about
that
a
lot
and
I've
been
heartened
by
seeing
the
diversity
of
candidates
who
have
come
forward
so,
irrespective
of
how
this
particular
vote
shakes
out,
I
really
agree
with
that
that
motivation.
So
thank.
E
Thank
you
Mr
chair
and
thank
you
Miss
Garvey
and
Miss
Crystal
for
your
comments.
This
is
not
not
the
easiest.
The
motion
was
to
add
the
62
000
and
consistent
with
what
you
said.
Mr
chair
with
respect
to
It's,
relatively
small
amounts
of
money
I,
would
certainly
associate
and
support,
taking
the
29,
000
and
ongoing
and
and
working
it
towards
that
62
000..
I
am
cognizant
of
the
points
that
you
make.
E
Miss
Crystal
with
respect
to
our
employee,
collective
bargaining
groups
and
I
am
aware
of
how
much
our
community
has
asked
us
to
invest
in
housing.
I
do
think
the
sum
is
small
enough
that
we
cannot.
It
comes
back
to
the
principle
for
me
even
sharing
with
our
employee
groups.
E
We
cannot
have
it
so
only
those
with
who
bring
a
lot
of
means
to
this
to
the
possibility
of
running
are
able
to
afford
to
run
that
is
not
in
the
long
term
or
even
I,
think
medium
and
even
short-term
interest,
and
that's
why
I'll
be
supporting
the
amendment.
I'd
certainly
understand
the
concerns
you
raised.
Miss
Crystal,
though.
A
Thank
you,
Mr
Karen,
Thomas,.
B
Mr
chair
I
mean
thank
you
for
for
the
the
proposal
for
thinking
about
that
and
for
discussing
this
openly,
it
is
truly
has
been
always
a
problem
that
the
County
Board
salaries
have
been
so
low
that
they
required
that
a
board
member
should
would
would
have
to
have
either
a
very
wealthy
partner
or
or
coming
from
a
very
wealthy
background
or
or
you
know,
working
a
second
or
a
third
job.
B
This
brings
us
a
little
bit
closer
with
the
action
last
year
and
this
this
one
brings
us
a
little
bit
closer
to
a
salary
that
can
sustain
a
person
in
a
household
in
this
office
and
semi-decent
conditions.
I
I
believe
that
this
is
weren't,
and
then
we
and
we
had
the
opportunity
to
discuss
that
the
entire
year
with
the
community
and
with
a
lot
of
you,
know,
people
who
know
how
this
work
picks
place
here
and
we
actually
had.
You
know
we
received
a
lot
of
understanding
for
for
this
adjustment.
B
It's
still
not
a
a
very
big
adjustment.
It's
a
is
a
decent
enough
adjustment
and
I
cannot
overstate
how
important
this
is
for
future
board
members
to
be
able
to
to
look
into
this
office
and
and
find
a
way
of
financial
viability
to
be
able
to
serve.
F
Garvey
yeah,
thank
you
and
I'll.
Just
add
I
appreciate
all
the
all
of
the
comments
and
it
looks
like
I
have
support
so
I'm
not
going
to
want
to
dig
myself
in
a
hole
here,
but
I
want
to
say
it's
not
just
about
allowing
people
to
run.
It's
also
to
allow
people
to
stay
in
these
positions
for
a
while,
often
if
you're
at
a
point
in
your
career,
where
you
don't
need
to
have
a
whole
lot
of
money,
you
don't
have
a
family
depending
on
you.
F
F
I
think
it
really
is
a
full-time
position
or
darn
close
too,
and
it
should
be
it
wasn't
in
the
past
and
I
also
will
say:
I
mean
I've,
been
doing
these
elected
positions
for
about
27
years
now.
I
think
there's
never
a
good
time
to
raise
board
salaries.
They've
always
been
low
and
there's
never
a
good
time
to
do
it.
So
I
would
like
to
do
it
now.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
so
I'll
just
say
for
my
part
to
be
clear.
You
know
when
we
did
this
four
years
ago.
Creating
this
Max
cap
I,
certainly
envisioned
that
at
some
point
the
board
would
get
to
that
Max
cap.
So
I
do
not
disagree
with
this
in
any
way,
shape
or
form.
But
as
someone
who
has
made
the
choice
not
to
stand
for
re-election,
I
don't
feel
I
should
ultimately
be
a
part
of
the
vote.
A
So
I
appreciate
the
discussion
and
I
think
we're
ready
to
move
to
a
vote
on
including
Ms
garvey's
proposal
to
adjust
board
salaries
up
up
to
the
max
allowable,
which
is
a
score.
A
cost
of
62
000
and
ongoing.
All
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye
any
opposed
one.
No
and
one
abstention.
So
by
a
vote
of
three
two
one,
two
one
that
is
now
included.
E
Yes,
but
not
under
the
constraints
that
we
have
there's
tons,
I
mean
I
I
just
wanted
to
repeat
the
point
that
there
are
tons
of
additions
that
we
all
would
wish
to
make.
But
fiscal
responsibility
and
restraint
dictates
no
thanks.
I've.
A
G
A
All
right,
so
we
need
to
come
up
with
about
thirty
thousand
dollars
in
or
20
yeah
29
592
in
ongoing
dollars.
A
F
Garvey
so
I'll
propose
again
my
suggestion
before,
but
we
can.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
a
whole
year
to
take
that
out
of
the
the
additional.
What
do
we
call
it
Environmental
Management
specialist,
because
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
while
before
that
position
can
be
hired.
F
It
looks
like
it
would
not
have
to
even
be
an
entire
year.
So.
A
F
B
It's
it's,
in
fact,
is
there
quarters
of
the
year
or
two
yeah
three
quarters
of
a
year
that
if,
if
the,
if
the
30
000
would
be
deducted
from
138
000.,
it
would
be
the
equivalent
of
nine
months.
F
F
E
Thank
you,
Mr
chair
and
thank
you.
Miss
Garvey
for
the
the
0.75
is
certainly
tempting
I'm
struck
by
the
I
am
pleased
that
we
have
invested
deeply
in
ahif
and
I
will
certainly
be
accountable.
Eight
hundred
thousand
in
ongoing
towards
ahif
is
much
much
more
than
I
had
had
hoped
because
of
our
third
quarter
economy,
projections,
and
so
I
would
propose
that
we
take
the
necessary
amount
to
reach
which
is
somewhere
in
the
I.
E
Don't
know:
20
28,
000
30
000
in
total,
from
the
ongoing
ahif
and
ascribe
it
to
the
to
take
the
necessary
steps
to
to
reach
miscarvey's
proposal
on
board
salaries.
Thank.
A
You
all
right,
so
it's
moved
to
take
the
and
I'll
just
recommend
that,
since
it
was
always
a
little
bit
of
play
with
this
markup
and
the
actual
budget
that
we
just
make
that
around
thirty
thousand
dollars,
sure
okay,
thirty
thousand
dollars
reduced
from
a
hip-
and
that's
second
did
by
Ms
Garvey
any
further
discussion.
A
E
Mr,
chair,
Mr,
D,
Franti
I,
know
there'll
be
additional
pieces.
I
just
did
want
to
kind
of
try
to
clarify
that
offer
two
thoughts
on
this.
The
step
is
essentially
to
go
from.
It's
I
think
it's
a
relatively
modest
increase.
This
62
000
covers
all
board
salaries,
and
so
it
would
be
actually
in
the
range
of
12,
000,
I
believe
per
board
member
which,
from
77
to
89,
000
I,
think
in
the
context
of
the
inflation
that
we've
seen
makes
it
I
believe
is
more
reasonable.
I
also
think.
E
A
Thank
you
all
right,
so
this
leaves
our
little
spreadsheet
bottom
line
with
15
15
000
in
one
time
and
four
hundred
dollars
in
ongoing,
which
especially
the
ongoing
figure
is,
is
nice
to
just
have
in
there.
In
case
we
made
any
minor
math
math
mistakes,
but
certainly
we
don't
need
to
close
it.
Yet
Mr
Karen
Thomas.
B
There
is
a
there
is
still
a
fifteen
thousand
dollar
analocated
on
on
a
one-time,
correct
correct.
So
this
could
be
added
to
the
one-time
part
of
ahaf.
A
A
Foreign,
so
that
now
leaves
us
with
balances
of
four
dollars
in
one-time
funding
and
408
and
ongoing
okay.
So
our
ability
to
have
made
math
errors
is
significantly
reduced,
but
I
think
it's
okay,.
A
E
Mr
chair,
yes,
sir
I,
don't
in
terms
of
order
and
process,
this
may
be
something
that
is
is
out
of
order.
I'll
just
be
transparent,
but
I
have
had
some
conversations.
E
We
have
the
climate
action
fund
and
I've
had
some
conversations
following
up
which
has
I
believe
235
000
left
in
it
and
had
some
conversations
with
Miss
Cowan,
who
has
touched
space
with
our
air
team
and
they're
two
pieces
of
that
climate
action
fund
that
I
I'd
like
to
see.
E
If,
if
colleagues
and
you
as
chair,
find
an
order,
one
is,
there
is
space
for
additional
electric
vehicles
and
there's
also,
which
would
the
estimate
is
that
we
could
fit
a
hundred
thousand
in
worth
of
electric
vehicle
charging
stations
and
the
other
piece
of
it
is
a
down
payment
to
explore
a
green
bank
which
would
be
fifty
thousand
dollars.
E
A
You
for
that
Mr
D
Franti,
since
the
those
proposals
as
I
understand
it,
since
they
would
be
directed
uses
of
the
climate
action
fund.
Don't
do
not
affect
this,
this
balancing
exercise.
So
if
we
can
table
that
for
now,
until
we
can
finish
with
this
discussion
and
then
we
can
engage
the
manager
in
a
conversation
about
how
to
have
conversations
about
the
utilization
of
that
fund.
A
All
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye
any
opposed
the
eyes
have
it.
We
can
consider
this
the
markup
that
staff
will
then
perfect
into
all
of
the
budget
documents
for
those
keeping
score
at
home.
The
board
has
not
adjusted
the
proposed
tax
rate,
which
stays
level
at
what
it
was
this
year.
Fees
as
have
been
proposed
throughout
the
budget
process
are
carried
over
and
the
budget
changes
that
we
have
just
discussed
that
are
outlined
on
this
spreadsheet,
from
lines
32.
G
My
sense
from
the
board
is
that
we
would
put
that
in
af
correct
as
a
balancing
mechanism,
once
we
figure
out
that
the
numbers
are
correct,
which
we're
pretty
confident
they
are.
But
we
appreciate
the
flexibility.
A
D
I
have
a
few
items
I've
been
working
on
in
guidance,
I'm
happy
to
introduce
them
all
at
once.
All
three.
If
you'd
rather
me,
share
the
floor,
I
can
do
that
as
well.
Let
me
speak
first
to
an
area
that
I
know.
Colleagues
have
heard
me
talk
about
that.
Indeed,
we
voted
on
actually
earlier
this
year,
which
is
transitioning
to
a
new
way
of
allocating
dollars
to
community
and
Human
Services
non-profits
that
better
aligns
with
our
stated
goals.
D
Our
adopted
resolutions
on
racial
equity
and
our
city,
goal
of
transparency
and
decision
making
I
will
not
rehash
what
I
brought
before
the
board
a
number
of
times
and
colleagues
but
I've
so
greatly
appreciated
your
support
for,
but
over
the
past,
now
more
than
two
years
we
have
been
working
with
Community
leaders
to
Envision
an
alternative.
D
We
are
I'm
delighted
to
say
well
underway
in
working
on
that
transition,
in
particular
thanks
to
really
dedicated
leadership
from
core
members
of
the
county
manager's
office,
including
our
Equity
team,
working
with
support
from
the
United
Way
of
the
national
capital
area,
working
hard
to
Envision
a
notice,
a
funding
available
process
which
can
invite
the
best
ideas
from
our
community
and
enlist
members
of
our
community
who
have
lived
experiences
of
interacting
with
the
types
of
of
Community
Building
Services
that
our
non-profits
propose
to
deliver
on
and
in
order
to
effectuate
that
they'll
be
putting
out
a
call
for
projects
or
a
notice
of
funding
available.
D
In
the
first
quarter
of
2024.
We
will
be
convening
that
team
of
subject
matter.
Experts
and
community
members,
training
them
in
racial
Equity
as
well
as
principles
of
Grant
making,
so
that
they
can
work
on
reviewing
applications
throughout
the
balance
of
this
calendar
year
and
into
a
little
bit
of
the
next
and
make
recommendations
to
well
three-fifths
of
this
board
and
two
new
members.
When
I
say
the
board
around
budget
decision
making
for
fiscal
2025..
D
The
challenge
of
all
of
this
is
that
it
falls
in
between
budget
processes,
and
so
I,
perhaps
might
have
felt
most
comfortable
making
a
pitch
this
year.
I
would
have
felt
most
comfortable
making
a
pitch
this
year
to
set
aside
some
funding
so
that
when
we
go
to
the
community
with
a
notice
of
funding
available,
we
are
prepared
to
fulfill
that
that
promise
that
we
are
making
that
there
is
a
certain
amount
of
funding
available
and
urging
them
to
compete
for
it.
D
That
would,
however,
mean
appropriating
money
in
fiscal
24
that
the
board
would
then
need
to
act
to
carry
over,
at
least
into
the
first
day
of
fiscal
25
when
those
Awards
will
take
effect
and
in
such
a
constrained
budget
I
understand
it's
a
big
ask
indeed
to
try
to
put
aside
money
that
that
would
not
be
spent
until
the
following
July.
D
So
I
am
going
to
ask
and
deeply
urge
colleagues
to
join
me
in
giving
guidance
to
the
manager
of
asking
him
in
his
fiscal
2025
budget
to
set
aside
an
additional
1.5
million
dollars
that
would
match
the
1.5
million
dollars
of
existing
funds.
D
Those
are
monies
that
have
been
disbursed
to
non-profits
year
after
year
in
Arlington,
and
we
are
now
urging
those
non-profits
to
compete
and
put
their
best
ideas
forward
in
order
for
us
to
I
think
really
go
to
the
community
in
good
faith
and
say
that
we
want
your
projects.
It
cannot
simply
be
about
dividing
an
existing
pie
with
more
competitors,
but
rather
does
need
to
create
new
resources
so
that
we
can
encourage
non-profits
to
come
forward
with
those
ideas,
and
obviously
we
want
to
be
able
to
make
good
on
that
promise.
D
If
we
say
there
is
going
to
be
I,
hope,
three
million
dollars
available
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
make
some
kind
of
commitment,
and
so
I
would
ask
us
to
take
the
somewhat
unusual
step
of
requesting
that
the
manager
or
giving
guidance
to
the
manager
to
include
an
additional
1.5
million
in
his
fiscal
2025
proposal.
Generally,
we
would
do
that
during
November.
The
notice
of
funding
available
will
go
out
before
the
November
board.
Meeting,
in
fact,
should
go
out
the
end
of
the
summer
and
again
I.
Think
it's
really
important.
D
D
Indeed,
I
know
generally
I
mean
we've
not
shared
guidance
at
the
time
of
markup,
because
it's
very
overwhelming
so
possibly
it
would
have
been
less
overwhelming
to
see
it
on
the
screen
than
to
listen
to
me.
Talk
and
finite
him
about
it.
One
other
piece
of
guidance.
It
is
speaking
of
ongoing
conversations.
D
We
of
course
adopted
zoning
ordinance
amendments
last
month
to
effectuate
changes
that
that
would
allow
for
the
construction
of
new
forms
of
housing
in
areas
across
Arlington
County.
The
underlying
goal
of
of
that
work,
and
so
much
of
what
we
do
around
housing
in
Arlington
is
to
increase
the
number
of
households
who
can
afford
a
stake
here
in
Arlington.
D
But
as
we
found
in
the
equity
analysis,
the
zoning
ordinance
amendments,
We
Believe,
will
certainly
increase
the
supply
of
attainable
housing,
provide
price
points
that
are
not
necessarily
well
served
by
our
market
now,
but
won't
necessarily
get
us
to
affordable
housing
and
with
regard
to
ownership,
resulting
ordinance,
defines
affordability
on
ownership.
Product
is
Affordable
to
those
making
80
or
less
of
the
area.
Median
income
I
think
in
order
to
get
there,
especially
with
new
eho
product
over
time.
Hopefully,
ehl
product
will
will
age
and
become
more
affordable,
but
with
new
eho
project.
D
That's
going
to
take
some
support
from
us
in
the
terms
of
financial
support
as
I've
spoken
with
colleagues
I
think
offline
I've
had
some
conversations
with
non-profit
and
some
with
for-profit
developers
about
what
it
might
take
to
get
missing.
Middle
type.
Housing
forms
built
and
committed,
preferably
through
dedication
to
the
Virginia
land,
trust
or
possibly
through
other.
D
I'm
sorry,
having
a
word
finding
issue
right
now,
covenants.
Thank
you
through
other
commitments
in
the
covenants
of
those
homes
to
affordability
in
exchange
for
some
Capital.
D
So
what
I'm
going
to
bring
forward
with
written
guidance
is
the
consideration
that
we
direct
the
county
manager
to
ask
staff
to
bring
us
as
part
of
the
findings
of
the
homeownership
study
ongoing
now,
which
are
coming
by
December
2023
recommendations
about
possible
program
guidelines
and
implementation
to
have
an
affordable,
eho,
homeownership
pilot
program
to
support
the
creation
of
eho
type
product,
affordable
to
those
making
80
or
less
of
the
area
median
income,
and
to
to
suggest
that
the
ahaf
I
have
confirmed
with
our
County
Attorney's
Office.
D
This
would
be
an
eligible
use
of
ahif
dollars.
I
think
is
our
chair
reference,
conceptually
probably
about
a
million
five
might
be
enough
to
support
a
couple
of
these
projects
throughout
the
county,
which
I
think
we
would
all
really
consider
a
great
success
in
the
first
year
or
two
post
ordinance
Amendment
adopt,
but
to
defer
the
specifics
on
the
amounts
to
the
the
the
recommendations
of
Staff
after
the
homeownership
study.
D
So
that
will
be
another
set
of
guidance,
I
will
propose
and
then
the
final
thing
just
wanted
to
note
and-
and
our
chair
mentioned
this
quickly-
I
think
we're
all
supportive
of
including
the
the
FTE
and
the
funding
for
DHS
backbone,
which
is
to
say
policy
coordinators,
a
policy
coordinator
role,
we
have
heard
calls
in
the
community
to
have
a
dedicated,
Child
Care
Czar.
D
Obviously
this
is
an
issue
that
is
incredibly
important
to
me
and
I,
associate
myself
with
those
in
our
community
and
I
think
those
that
our
staff
would
probably
agree
that
we
have
great
plans.
We
just
need
some
support
in
helping
effectuate
them,
especially
with
a
focus
on
child
care
that
is
Affordable
to
our
lowest
income.
Neighbors
I
strongly
agree
with
that.
However,
I
think
how
we
work
is
perhaps
more
important
than
what
we
work
on
and
the
sent
the
child
care
initiative
was
a
success
or
you've
seen
other
successful
initiatives.
D
Since
again,
we
do
know
that
the
the
issues
like
Child
Care,
hunger,
affordable
housing,
are
so
interrelated
and
so
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
Signal
our
intent
that
that
backbone
staff
should
spend
their
first
couple
of
years
working
on
the
child
care
initiative
and
particularly
affordable
child
care.
D
I
think
that
is
a
need
that
we've
heard
across
the
community
and
I
believe
all
board
members
share,
but
I,
but
I
do
want
us
to
be
clear
that
that
is
not
the
alpha
at
Omega
of
this
individual's
job,
and
as
that
that
work
continues,
there
will
be
new
crises
or
needs
that
arise
in
our
community
that
require
Savvy
coordination,
quarterbacking
project
management
and
Coalition
building
to
make
sure
that
we
really
do
have
an
integrated
response.
D
So
thank
you
in
advance,
Ms
Kyle.
What
I
know
has
been
working
with
me
and
will
be
working
with
me
on
some
guidance
about
our
expectations
for
that
position
and
the
child
care
will
be
their
first
Focus,
but
not
their
sole
Focus.
Over.
A
Time
so
we'll
expect
three
blurbs
of
guidance
from
you
on
the
child
on
the
non-profits,
so
the
the
non-profit
funding
nofa
process
eho
is
part
of
the
home
ownership
study
and
the
DHS
FTE
any
other
areas
of
guidance
that
you
all
are
working
on.
Mr,
D,
ferranti.
E
It's
a
question:
well,
first,
I
just
want
to
thank
Miss
Crystal
for
the
work
in
all
three
areas.
I
know
you
have
spent
a
lot
of
time
working
on
each
of
these,
and,
as
you
indicated,
there
would
have
been
might
have
been
another
first
thought,
and
so
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
channeling
and
focusing
the
work
into
the
guidance
and
I'll
be
supportive.
E
The
the
question
has
come
up
because
of
the
addition
of
the
we
want
to
try
and
address
the
needs
of
our
teenagers
and
I
was
thinking
about
some
guidance
along
those
lines.
I
don't
know
that
with
95
000.
We
necessarily
need
that.
I
think
that
I
don't
have
extensive
policy
thoughts
on
it,
but
I
did
want
to
at
least
suggest
speak
briefly
to
say
that
I
support
this
area.
E
F
Yeah
I
had
a
question
and
actually
apologies.
It's
for
the
manager
and
apologies
I
meant
to
bring
this
up
last
time.
We
we
talked,
and
it's
sort
of
a
general
thought.
I
know
we're
still
working
on
moving
to
step
system
with
our
police
and
I.
Think
there's
some
anxiety
to
have
some
commitment
and
I.
Think
all
of
our
intentions
are
there.
Would
it
make
sense
to
put
something
in
the
guidance
to
sort
of
show
that
commitment.
G
The
question
and
what
I
I
would
suggest
is
language,
saying
reaffirming
what
you
did
in
December,
the
Integrity
of
those
Awards
I'm
not
going
to
foreclose
the
option
that
when
I
come
back
in
the
25
budget
that
I
at
that
time,
it
may
be
appropriate
to
seek
additional
funds,
but
I
would
say
for
right
now
it's
really
a
choice
between
reaffirming
the
three-year
commitment
that
you
made
in
December
and
then
addressing
that
with
the
new
budget.
As
opposed
to
saying
when
it
comes
to
fiscal,
25,
add
more
money.
Are
you
fall
I.
F
Am
sort
of
yes
I
am
following
fine
I,
you
know
I,
just
I'd
like
I
think
we're
all
trying
to
get
to
the
same
place
and
I
have
anything
we
can
do
to
kind
of
broadcast
that
so,
if
you've
got
any
sort
of
suggested
language
that
might
be
helpful,
that
would
come
communicate
that
we
appreciate.
E
B
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair.
First
of
all,
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
went
into
bring
you
know.
Building
together.
They
said
this
draft
and
getting
this
budget
to
to
the
to
these
outcomes.
I
really
appreciate
the
effort
that
was
invested
in
supporting
ahaf
and
bringing
akiv
to
the
you
know,
making
it
be
responsible,
responsive
to
the
to
the
need
that
still
exists.
I
I.
B
It
is
true
that
this
is
still
a
little
bit
less
than
last
year,
but
you
know
this
is
what
we
can
afford
at
this
moment,
and
we
have
to
look
at
at
to
into
the
future
to
support
the
fund,
the
the
in
the
most
robust
way
we
can.
What
Miss,
Crystal
added
is
a
really
challenge
for
AFL
I.
Believe
that's
the
right
challenge
for
ahif
and
just
under
under
underscores
the
the
importance
of
focusing
on
this.
B
So
I
think
that
the
the
guidance
has
to
reflect
both
things
first,
how
we
support
the
the
current
goals
of
aheav
and
how
we
carefully
craft
new
and
expanded
goals
for
ahaf
as
they
as
the
eligibility
of
projects,
and
you
know,
the
competitiveness
of
projects
will
be
of
often
will
be
an
issue
as
we
go
forward
and
the
second
and
then
second,
the
second
ranked
I
think
that
the
the
additional
focus
on
the
behavioral
health
and
then
and
and
the
addition
of
DPR
programs
for
teens
is
has
been
in
a
significant-
has
been
a
source
of
significant
comments
that
we
got
during
the
pandemic.
B
We
these
these
programs
have
suffered
a
lot
and
I
believe
that
the
pandemic
has
just
redefined
what
this
program,
how
we
have
to
think
about
these
programs,
and
that
means
that
we
probably
have
to
you
know,
as
you
already
have
been
doing,
you're
you're,
asking
experts
you're
looking
at
other
jurisdictions
with
with
you
know,
good
records
are
doing.
I
really
applaud
that
this
is
a
good
good
place
to
to
to
start
our
down
payment.
I
have
no
no
doubts
about
that
is
is
little.
It's
nothing.
B
Almost
compared
to
what
I
I
perceive
every
day
to
be
the
need
there
and
I
do
think
that
the
the
environment
and
the
challenges
that
we
have
through
the
opioid
epidemic.
The
fact
that
we
have
to
reach
out
tomorrow
tomorrow,
students
more
constituencies
in
a
multilingual
Multicultural.
You
know
more
diverse
space.
All
these
challenges
are
are
accruing
and
therefore
we
need
to
focus
on
more
robust
programs
in
delivery.
B
Here,
I
want
to
say
for
myself
that
I
struggled
a
lot
with
issues
that,
for
example,
with
the
Staffing
for
the
Nature
Center
other
things,
the
DPR,
you
know,
and
people
who
have
testified
here,
I
cared
a
lot
about.
I
still
continue
to
think
that
we
have
to
I
will
try
to
bring
in
guidance
to
keep
our
Focus
alive
and
and
specific
about
keeping
these
facilities
in
the
best
possible
place
so
that
they
continue
to
provide
service.
B
Issues
of
enhancing
our
environmental
activities
of
being
more
focused
on
developing
new
and
better
programs,
implementing
better
I
think
there
is
a
lot
of
inertia
or
I
should
say
a
lot
of
momentum
actually
going
on
the
air
programmed
for
me
really
deserves
even
more
support,
and
part
of
that
is
that
we
are
strengthening
our
also
the
the
positions
at
the
county
managers
level
that
will
bring
in
this
whole
of
government
approach
to
things
where
everybody
will
have
a
role
in
this
policy
deployment.
Thank
you.
E
A
Anything
else,
those
four
going
once
going
twice
sold
that'll,
be
it
four
pieces
of
guidance
that
we'll
have
for
you,
Miss,
Crystal
I
know
you
have
a
lot,
neither
weighty,
but
if
you
could
into
circulate
those
by
Thursday
close
of
business.
I
think
we'll
be
in
good
shape.
Great.
Thank
you.
Now.
You
all
want
to
talk
about
other
stuff,
Miss
guard.
F
Just
want
to
mention
a
couple
things:
the
Board
of
Equalization
stipends,
which
was
a
very
small
amount,
twenty
thousand
we're
trying
to
recruit
for
the
Board
of
Ed
of
Equalization
and
I
assume.
If
we
really
need
that
those
funds,
we
will
find
them
some
way,
because
it's
it's
de
minimis
in
some
ways,
Nature
Center
Staffing,
continues
to
be
a
disappointment
to
me
that
we
do
not
do
that
and
keep
our
nature
centers
open.
F
However,
I'm
I
think,
as
we
do
more
work
on
Mental
Health,
the
need
for
climate
education,
the
need
for
after
school
activities,
I
think
a
lot
of
it
may
come
down
to
boy.
If
we
keep
our
nature
centers
open,
we
could
help
people's
mental
health.
We
could
give
young
people
a
good
place
to
go
and
we
could
also
help
educate
our
population
about
what
they
can
do
for
the
for
the
climate
for
the
planet.
F
So
I'm
anyway,
I
haven't,
dropped
the
issue,
but
I
think
it
will
come
up
in
some
other
ways
because
it
fills
so
many
of
so
many
of
the
needs
that
we
have,
which
is
part
of
the
reason
I
keep
sort
of
supporting
it,
but
I
think
it
will
come
around.
So
I
don't
give
up
and,
as
my
colleagues
know,
I
recently
kind
of
realized
how
much
the
climate,
if
you
will
in
our
jail,
needs
to
be
improved
with
paint
and
lights.
F
It's
it's
very
Grim
in
there
I
also
with
our
last
finally
kind
of
came
to
with
the
actually.
The
manager
made
a
comment
that
really
clicked
with
me,
which
is
our
jails,
are
mental
health,
hospitals
in
essence,
that's
really
what's
happening
in
them
and
I
think
we
need
to
start
thinking
of
them
in
that
way.
So
moving
forward
I
think
we
need
to
do
more
of
that
and
I
do
think
much
improved
lighting
and
paint
I
mean
if
you're
not
depressed
before
you
go
in.
You
are
depressed.
F
Oh,
my
I
thought
I
turned
off
my
phone
apologies
if
you're
not
depressed
when
you
go
in,
you
will
be
if
you've
been
there
for
a
while.
It's
not
because
of
the
people
there,
it's
just
it's
just
simply
gray
and
grim
and
bad
lighting
I
think
with
closeout.
Perhaps
we
can
do
something
with
that,
and
obviously
it
was
relatively
new
and
it's
just
really
something
more
for
our
Sheriff
to
come
forward
with
and
make
recommendations
with
sofa.
F
E
A
E
G
C
Sure
so
the
the
fund
was
seated
capitalized.
If
you
will
in
last
year's
budget
for
a
million
dollars-
and
we
said
we
would
come
back
during
this
budget
process
with
our
initial
set
of
proposed
recommendations.
So
if
you
recall
I'd
be
happy
to
send
this
out
to
you
again
during
the
Des
operating
budget
work
session
and
the
capital
work
session,
we
kind
of
laid
out
what
we
were
thinking,
which
was
a
total
allocation
of
around
765
000.
C
350
of
that
was
for
some
additional
EV
charging
stations
and
the
associated
infrastructure
electrical
engineering
at
public
facing
facilities,
and
that
would
increase
our
and
I
said
community
centers
we
identified
for
in
Library
Central
bar
Croft,
Courthouse
Plaza,
here
Bosman
area
I,
believe
farlington.
C
The
other
allocation
of
around
200
000
was
for
encoupled,
with
with
paygo
funding
was
for
evaluation.
You
heard
I
think
an
interesting
presentation
from
Des
on
our
new
tool
for
decarbonization
facilities,
so
using
part
of
that
fund
to
advance
more
studies
and
then
the
investments
in
some
of
our
facilities
as
we're
looking
at
HVAC
Replacements,
and
then
the
other
allocation
was
for
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
CCA
study
that
we've
begun
to
work
on
with
Fairfax.
So
that
leaves
about
a
hundred
and
whatever
65
000..
You
know
I'm,
sorry,
my
math
is
really
bad.
C
So
what
Mr,
defranti
and
I
talked
about
that
you
know.
An
actionable
item
is
certainly
additional:
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
EV
charging
stations.
We
could
put
in
another
four
to
six
on
top
of
that
at
TBD
locations,
but
we
think
that
we
can
move
on
that
this
fiscal
year
with
completion
in
early
25
and
then
I
know
that
you
all
have
expressed
interest
in
further
evaluation
of
a
regional
Green
Bank
approach,
which
we've
Fairfax
originally
wanted
to
go
on.
C
Their
own
I,
think
they've,
backed
off
and
now
looking
at
a
more
Regional
approach.
So
our
staff
have
been
working
with
their
staff.
We've
heard
different
things
we
both
have
heard.
Are
they
starting
in
summer?
Is
it
going
to
be
fall
like
our
Dimitri
and
her
staff
have
been
talking
to
them
like
as
recently
as
last
week,
so
we
thought
as
an
option
to
put
in
you
know
50
000,
to
make
sure
we
have
the
seed
money
ready
to
go
when
they're
ready
to
go.
C
We
certainly
know
that
that
would
be
would
likely
require
more
money,
but
we
could
address
then
as
part
of
next
year's
budget
or
once
we
get
scope
and
plans
finalized.
Those
funds
have
been
appropriated,
so
I,
honestly
I
think
it'd
just
be
handled
via
guidance
right,
and
this
is
how
we
would
direct
that
talents
and
then
whatever's
left.
You
know
we
talk
through
again
for
next
year
and
what
we
would
do
with
it
and
does
that
make
sense.
Does
that
cover
it?
Mr
D
foreign.
E
It
might
be
shorter
than
the
three
pieces
of
guidance
that
Ms
Crystal
does,
but
certainly
I
think
that
I've
tried
to
do
the
homework
on
this
and-
and
there
are
specific
individuals
who
come
forward
and
we
won't
specify
which,
where
the
electric
vehicles
but
they're
different
parts
of
our
community,
that
have
come
forward
and
want
to
make
sure,
there's
sufficient
capacity
and
then
I
I
think
the
the
green
Bank
tried
to
pursue
it
sufficiently
and
keep
the
dollar
amount
small
so
that
the
seed
funding
would
be
within
the
manager's
purview
to
figure
out
what's
appropriate
to
spend.
E
A
Thank
you,
Mr
D,
Franti
I.
You
know,
colleagues,
I
love
to
get
your
guidance
to
weigh
in
before
we
direct
Mr
D
for
Randy
for
guidance.
A
A
little
bit
then
programming
every
last
dollar,
but
leave
it
up
to
discussion.
E
E
F
I
absolutely
agree
with
that,
we'll
see,
and
it
could
be
that
if
we
managed
to
do
in
cooperation
with
Fairfax
or
some
others,
we
can
get.
Maybe
a
lower
cost
per
putting
in
the
state
who
knows
I
think
giving
the
flexibility
is
where
we
gotta
go.
So
thank
you
hopefully,
Mr
D
Franti
agrees.
B
Setting
up
a
green
bank
is
not
an
easy
thing,
and
it's
really
you
know
we
see
that
to
win
a
very
big
jurisdiction
tries
to
move
on
that,
so
this
hundred
thousand
dollars
would
be
probably
needed
to
be
specifically
available
to
evaluate
how
we
can
dock
in
into
this
effort,
and
you
know
how
the
the
green
bank
would
be
designed-
and
you
know
compartmentalize
in
order
to
to
serve
different
constituencies
across
the
region
in
a
collaborative
system
so
I,
while
I
agree
that
you
know
this
is
already
available
money
and
there
is
a
thinking
behind
that
directing
it
and
making
sure
that
you
know
this
may
is
is
kept
as
a
as
a
goal
to
to
dedicate
some
effort
on
on.
B
You
know,
defining
and
configuring
a
our
own.
You
know
Pathway
to
a
green
Bank
collaboration.
I,
think
that
this
is
still
worthy
of
mentioning
that,
in
guidance.
E
I'm
having
to
try
to
Fashion
two
sentences
that
seek
to
address
your
concern,
I
think
part
of
me
feels
as
though
the
the
hundred
thousand
in
electric
vehicles
is
an
operational
decision
that,
if
there's
space,
I'm
sort
of
slightly
more
inclined
to
be
flexible
and
defer
on
that,
but
the
green
bank
at
least
I'd,
want
to
persu
I'm,
attracted
to
a
presumption
to
move
forward
on
that
and
I
recognize
that
there
could
be
concerns.
E
E
Unless
you
know
the
the
manager
should
should
see
other
priorities
that
that
accelerated
I
don't
know
that
that
fully
addresses
your
astute
point,
but
I
guess
it's
it's.
This
is
born
of
an
urgency
with
respect
to
the
green
Bank
in
particular,
and
a
collaborative
piece
that
and
also
conversations
with
with
with
our
community
as
well.
That
leads
me
on
the
Green
Bank
to
be
more
inclined
to
try
to
sort
of
put
a
bit
of
a
presumption
without
a
binding
piece
to
that.
So.
G
If
I,
if
I
could
just
add
one
thing,
I
want
want
everybody
to
understand,
including
those
people
who
have
been
very
vigorous
advocates
for
the
green
bank.
I
know,
members
of
this
board
have
talked
to
their
colleagues
in
Fairfax.
I've
talked
with
my
colleague
in
Fairfax
several
times.
I
know,
Miss
McBride
has
talked
with
her
colleagues
in
Fairfax,
and
a
lot
of
people
in
our
c2e2
community
have
talked
with
people
in
Fairfax.
Fairfax
is
fully
on
notice
that
we
want
to
partner
with
them
foreign.
D
Which
I
need
to
die
and
I
appreciate
that
this
attractive
idea
to
some
of
our
colleagues
so
I
think
that's
fine,
I,
I,
guess
I
would
just
say
one
of
the
reasons
I
think
we're
all
so
delighted
to
have
Mr
Eris
on
board
and
to
have
that
office
fully
functional
is
to
be
able
to
bring
not
just
the
political
urgency,
but
the
real
analytical
sense
of
where
is
the
most
bang
for
our
buck
and
I
really
see
this
fund
as
one
of
his
key
tools
to
do
it
I'm
not
certain
that
it's
always
the
case
that
the
thing
that
is
sexiest
or
most
exciting
to
us,
or
generating
the
most
attention,
even
among
our
very
smart
advocacy
Community,
is
the
thing
that
will
most
deliver
on
reaching
our
goals
and
I
am
excited
to
now.
D
Have
somebody
to
advise
us
on
that.
So
again,
it's
not
a
hill
on
which
I
need
to
die
and
Mr
friendly,
I
think
you've,
rather
clearly
kind
of
suggested
that
the
flexibility
would
be
there
if
needed,
but
I
I
think
keeping
that
fund
flexible
to
be
able
to
show
real
movement
right,
because
that's
why
we
created
it.
D
There's
a
desire
on
the
part
of
our
community
on
the
part
of
this
board
to
say
that
we
are
demonstrating
a
level
of
action
that
is
commensurate
with
the
urgency
of
the
threat
of
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
and
so
you
know
to
potentially
tie
down
some
of
those
dollars
that
are
supposed
to
be
able
to
help
us
demonstrate
near-term
success
to
a
big
idea,
a
big,
complicated
idea
that
may
take
quite
a
bit
of
time
to
get
off
the
ground.
I.
D
Just
wonder
if
we're
working
across
purposes
with
our
own
desire
in
setting
up
that
fun
last
budget
cycle,
so
consider
that
again
Grist
for
the
mill.
It's
not
a
you
know
it's
so
deeply
held
of
a
position
that
I
wouldn't
be
supportive
of
a
direction.
Colleagues
wanted
to
head
if
it
differed
from
it,
but
wanted
to
at
least
raise
that
consideration.
Thank.
E
I'm
I'm,
flexible
I,
don't
want
us
to
lose.
We've
we've
added
a
full
climate
position,
which
is
not
something
we
expected
and
a
significant
victory
that
I
don't
want
Advocates
to
lose
and
the
only
other
I'm
okay
with
with
not
writing
guidance,
because
it
would
feel
like
I
would
turning
in
circles
and
writing
legalese,
but
I
think.
The
other
point
that
I
would
just
make
is
is
the
urgency
of
of
expenditure.
This
is
I,
don't
wanna
I
want
us
to,
and
Bill
Mr
Edgar
can
can
do
this.
E
I
won't
write
guidance,
but
it
you
know,
I,
think
that
we've
aired
the
discussion
and,
if
there's
a
green
Bank
opportunity
that
makes
sense
we'll
jump
on
it
and
if
there
are
additional
electric
vehicles
that
make
sense
vehicle
charging
stations
that
make
sense
we'll
jump
on
that
too.
Thank
you
for
the
discussion.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
bringing.
G
Good
of
our
order
today,
one
thing
I
did
want
to
mention.
We
will,
as
the
board
has
a
72-hour
rule
on
posting
board
reports,
but
this
has
always
been
an
exception
granted
to
us.
Yes,
given
with
this
work
session,
we
will
have
the
board
reports
posted
as
quickly
as
they're,
completed,
hopefully
by
Thursday.
G
So
if
the
public
is
dying
to
read
the
resolution,
our
team
is
going
to
be
at
work
as
soon
as
we
leave
here.
You.
A
Are
free
to
dispense
withholding
yourself
to
that
policy,
given
that
we
amply
amply
engage
our
public
in
understanding
our
budget
through
these
Myriad
work
sessions,
including
this
one,
so
I
believe
the
actual
written
material
just
codifies
everything
that
we
have
discussed.
A
So
you
are
free
of
that
obligation,
so
I
think
that
seeing
no
other
lights
I
think
that
takes
us
to
the
end
of
our
business
today
for
our
public,
the
board
will
adopt
the
budget
calendar,
your
tax
rates,
fee
changes
and
code
amendments
at
our
Saturday
meeting
on
April
22nd
and
as
a
reminder
to
everyone.
We
have
had
our
public
hearings
on
both
the
budget
and
the
tax
rate
hearing,
so
we
we
will
not
be
hearing
speakers
on
this
item
and
the
discussion
will
be
entirely
with
the
board.
Thank
you.
Everyone.
