A
Okay,
we
are
now
in
session,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
welcome
to
the
budget
markup
for
our
fiscal
2023
budget.
This
is
chair
kitty,
crystal
speaking,
I'm
joined
in
person
today
by
my
colleagues
vice
chairman,
dorsey
board
member
garvey
board
member
deferenti,
and
we
are
joined
remotely
by
board
member
karen
tonis
joining
us
from.
I
believe
the
columbia
heights
neighborhood
of
arlington
county
due
to
a
coveted
exposure,
is
that
right.
Mr
karen
jonas.
B
This
is,
unfortunately,
right.
I
hope
I
hope
it.
It
remains
just
the
exposure
at
this
point.
I'm
I'm
optimistic,
but
I
didn't
want
to
to
put
anybody
staff
and
my
colleagues
in
in
any
risk
to
to
expose
you
to
any
further
risk.
So
I
think
this
is
the
right
thing
to
do
and
since
we
have
the
possibility,
I'm
happy
to
participate
on
through
through
teams.
A
Excellent,
thank
you
so
much,
mr
carontonis,
and
we
hope
it
continues
to
be
a
mere
exposure,
not
a
case.
Okay.
I
think
we
can
get
right
into
it
to
briefly
outline
our
agenda
for
the
day.
We're
gonna
talk
about
three
big
thematic
pieces
of
the
adopted
budget
that
is
under
consideration,
and
then
we
are
going
to
get
to
the
heart
of
the
matter.
I
will
have
a
chairs
markup
to
introduce
for
consideration
of
my
colleagues.
A
We
will
entertain
as
well
amendments
to
or
motions
to
amend
that,
in
addition
for
those
following
along
at
home,
the
goal
is
to
get
to
a
markup
with
support
from
the
board
so
that
we
can
hand
it
off
to
our
dmf
team
so
that
they
can
turn
that
into
a
final
budget
that
we
can
vote
on
and
codify
on
tuesday.
A
So
let
me
begin
we
received,
I
think,
a
very
in-depth
presentation
from
the
manager
as
part
of
his
mid-year
budget
update
for
us,
but
wanted
to
just
take
a
moment
and
really
point
out
that
the
board
is
going
to
be
adopting
his
recommendation
when
it
comes
to
the
skyrocketing
revenue
due
to
the
skyrocketing
prices
of
used
cars,
the
skyrocketing
revenue
in
our
personal
property
tax.
A
I
think
we
have
a
slide
to
accompany
this,
just
as
a
reminder-
and
I
think,
if
anybody
who's
tried
to
sell
a
used
car
or
looked
up
the
kelly
blue
book
or
the
jd
powers
value
of
their
car
knows
recently,
we
have
seen
just
a
spectacular
amount
of
volatility
in
the
used
car
market,
which
means,
I
think,
some
of
the
math
we
were
doing.
For
example,
a
2008
honda,
civic
went
up
something
like
111
in
valuation.
A
We
are
certainly
concerned
about
our
taxpayers
having
to
absorb
that
kind
of
volatility,
and
so
we
are
going
to
do
the
following
things:
to
offer
relief
from
this
high
asset
vehicle
attacks,
we
are
first
going
to
eliminate
the
motor
vehicle
fee.
This
has
been
a
long-held
desire
of
many
of
us.
This
is
among
our
more
regressive
fees
because
it
hits
very
old
vehicles
owned
by
folks
who
may
have
lower
incomes.
The
exact
same
amount
that
it
hits
brand
new,
very
expensive
vehicles
and
people
who
have
a
lot
more
ability
to
pay.
A
So
we
are
glad
to
be
able
to
deliver
some
of
the
relief
from
the
high
assessed
vehicle
values
in
the
form
of
elimination
of
that
33
motor
vehicle
fee.
That
will
be
ongoing
and
we
are
further
going
to
apply
an
assessment
ratio
of
88
percent
to
the
assessed
value
of
the
personal
property
tax.
That
is
an
ability
we
unfortunately
do
not
have.
A
I
think
when
it
comes
to
property
tax,
to
monkey
with
the
assessed
ratio,
but
we
do
have
it
when
it
comes
to
the
value
of
vehicles,
we
will
be
doing
that
across
the
board.
So
we
have
these
slides.
I
know
available
online
for
anyone
with
questions
about
how
this
is
likely
to
hit
their
own
bill
on
their
personal
property
tax.
A
We
hope
that
our
slides
online
will
help
and
I'm
certain
that
we
will
be
working
closely
with
the
treasurer
to
communicate
the
the
changes
to
this
as
people
get
their
personal
property
tax
bills
in
2023
or
fiscal
2023.
A
Okay.
So
unless
there
are
any
comments
on
that
and
again,
the
board
is,
I
think,
unanimously,
please
adopt
that
recommendation
of
the
manager.
We
also
wanted
to
talk
about
two
major
issues.
Sometimes
markup
or
often
markup
is
an
opportunity
to
kind
of
tinker
around
the
margins,
and
that
means
that
some
of
our
biggest
priorities
don't
often
get
the
attention
that
they
in
fact
have
from
this
board
of
this
community
and
this
staff
at
the
the
point
of
markup.
A
And
so
we
wanted
to
talk
about
two
things:
climate
and
affordable
housing,
and
I'm
going
to
begin
with
just
a
couple
of
comments
on
climate.
Invite
mr
dorsey
to
add
and
then
turn
things
over
to
the
manager
last
year.
As
many
know,
this
board
endorsed
and
we
directed
a
whole
of
government
approach
to
the
climate
emergency,
recognizing
that
the
existential
nature
of
this
threat
requires
us
to
think
urgently
and
innovatively
about
making
the
greatest
impact
possible
when
it
comes
to
arlington's
emissions
reduction
strategies,
energy
use
and
climate
resilience.
A
We
are
eager
to
turn
additional
high-level
attention
on
climate
action
in
arlington,
and
I
know
my
colleagues
and
I
all
approached
the
manager
at
the
start
of
this
budget
year
to
express
what
that
could
look
like.
I
think
for
us
for
me
speaking
anyway,
that
that
would
look
like
coordination,
additional
coordination
inside
and
outside
of
government
new
internal
resources
that
could
collaborate
closely
with
our
air
leadership
in
order
to
convene
staff
subject
matter.
A
Experts
and
external
experts
and
incubate
new
ideas
explore
emerging
practices
to
see
how
they
might
fit
or
work
in
arlington
county
that
additional
high-level
attention.
I
hope
would
look
like
provision
of
hands-on
support
for
everyone
involved
in
climate
mitigation
and
energy
use
production,
which
is
to
say
all
of
us
to
operate
as
that
hands-on
support
for
county
government,
including
public
schools
and
outside
of
government,
so
residents
and
businesses
and
institutional
partners.
A
I
know
that
for
me,
success
and
additional
high
level
attention
on
climate
action
is
also
going
to
look
like
elevating
the
work
that
a
really
strong
internal
team
and
air
has
already
done.
They
have
successfully
implemented
plans
and
projects
that
address
storm
water
resilience.
They
have
developed
and
are
working
on
an
implementation
framework
for
an
ambitious
community
energy
plan
and
any
best
foot
forward
is
going
to
have
to
start
and
work
in
close
partnership.
A
With
that
strong
internal
team,
we
have
had
a
lot
of
discussions
among
ourselves
as
a
board
with
members
of
the
community
during
this
budget
season
about
you
know
the
kind
of
people
or
personnel
who
could
lead
and
prioritize
climate.
The
truth
is
that
arlington
county
has
decision
makers
and
priority
centers.
It's
us,
it's
the
county
board.
We
have
made
climate
a
priority,
because
we
know
that
climate
is
a
priority
for
the
community,
the
responsible
serving
and
because
it
is
deeply
important
to
each
of
us.
A
So
what
we
need
from
here
is
amplification
coordination,
additional
expertise
that
can
give
life
to
that
prioritization.
That
already
very
much
exists
at
the
highest
levels
of
government.
So
at
the
beginning
of
this
budget
process,
we
approached
the
manager
with
these
needs
and
to
try
to
talk
about
how
to
create
governmental
structures,
more
governmental
structures
to
address
them.
So
he
has
a
proposal
for
us
that
I
am
at
least.
I
think
I
speak
for
others
very
encouraged
by
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
the
renewed
energy,
no
pun
intended
and
the
extended
reach.
A
This
proposal
is
going
to
bring
to
climate
action
in
arlington.
Mr
dorsey,
with
that
said,
did
you
want
to
make
any
other
comments
before
we
turn
things
over
to
the
manager
to
introduce
this?
This
new
development.
C
Yeah,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
that
was
a
comprehensive
summary
I'll.
Just
add
that
for
many
in
the
community,
what
we've
heard
was
the
embodiment
of
everything
that
you
just
described
in
the
form
of
a
particular
fte,
a
chief
sustainability
officer,
and
I
would
encourage
people
to
think
nothing
in
terms
of
whether
or
not
that
specific
point
of
advocacy
was
addressed,
but
whether
the
outcomes
that
this
chief
sustainability
officer
was
intended
to
provide
are
addressed.
And
it's
in
that
vein.
I
believe
this
proposal
fits
well
within
the
organization.
C
You
know
it's.
It's
often
very
easy
for
people
to
embody
and
personify
everything
they
want
in
one
individual,
but
the
manager
is
responsible
for
guiding
an
organization
of
4
000
people,
and
we
wanted
to
give
him
time
to
figure
out
how
to
best
address
those
outcomes
within
the
context
of
the
very
strong
organizational
enterprise
that
we
have,
and
I
think
I
think
this
reflects
it.
Thank
you.
Excellent.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
I'm
gonna
give
you
an
update
on
all
things
climate
and
address
the
points
you
just
raised
and
many
of
which
are
familiar
to
you.
So
in
the
all
of
our
investments
in
energy
and
era
that
I
included
in
the
proposed
23
budget
came
to
a
little
bit
over
2
million
and
we've
talked
about
those.
D
So
in
the
meantime,
we've
continued
our
work
on
our
zero
waste
plan
at
the
boards
direction.
D
We're
doing
street
light
conversion,
a
multi-year
effort
to
support
our
really
proud
of
our
best
in
the
region,
water
pollution
control
plant,
our
green
purchasing
program
and
our
extensive
efforts
that
you
referenced
on
addressing
a
hundred
years
of
decisions
that
made
arlington
more
flood
prone
and
trying
to
deal
with
the
fickle
vagaries
of
climate
change.
D
D
This
lean
but
mean
two-person
office
will
reside
in
the
county
manager's
office
and
will
augment
and
complement
the
efforts
of
our
air
office,
which
will
remain
in
des
so
in
partnership
with
air
and
as
part
of
my
office.
This
office
will
coordinate
into
inter-departmental
activities
for
the
community
energy
plan
across
the
county,
including
the
working
group
and
key
policy
areas
like
the
green
building
incentive
policy
update
and
the
emergency
the
emerging
area
of
biophilia.
D
It's
other
key
areas
of
focus
will
be
public
facing
outreach,
as
you
noted
programming
and
advocacy
for
the
96
of
our
carbon
emissions
that
need
to
be
the
focus
of
our
entire
community.
And
finally,
while
the
cep,
studies
and
program
implementation
will
remain
with
air.
I
am
looking
forward
to
this
office,
providing
new
policy
and
new
program
ideas
and
input
and
amplifying
our
environmental
consciousness
in
the
county.
D
So
adding
this
capacity
is
especially
timely,
given
that,
just
yesterday
I
have
here,
I
received
the
146
page
draft
plan
on
our
community
energy
roadmap,
and
I
haven't
had
time
to
read
it
yet,
and
it
will
be
to
you
quite
soon,
as
will
our
plan
on
decarbonizing
transportation.
D
Our
art
bus
feasibility
study
next
month
you'll
be
taking
up
a
proposal
on
the
art
operations
and
maintenance
facility
that
will
be
before
you
and
we,
as
you
know,
we're
making
great
progress.
We're
going
to
be
two
years
ahead
of
target
on
meeting
our
goal
for
all
county
operations
using
renewable
electricity.
D
D
So
this
kind
of
intensive
persistent
policy
making
is
consistent
with
what
our
air
team
has
done
and
we
need
to
continue
so
I
know
you
mentioned
it
and
I
wanted
to
give
a
shout
out
to
dimitri
mcbride
and
her
team,
and
you
mentioned
the
stormwater
work,
but
just
in
the
last
two
months
you
know
we
worked
with
our
legislative
liaison
to
make
sure
the
general
assembly
didn't
end
up
undoing
some
of
the
wise
policy
making
that
had
been
in
place
on
the
clean
economy,
act
reggie
and
also
increasing
a
little
bit
our
authority
on
tree
conservation,
which
was
important
they've,
been
working
on
the
green
building
bonus
program
we
talked
about.
D
We
are
due
to
bring
close
to
5
million
square
feet
of
new
design
and
construction
under
those
standards
in
this
calendar
year,
which
is
more
than
a
two-fold
increase
from
what
we
did
in
calendar
year.
20.
we're
continuing
to
work
on
our
solar,
co-ops
and
solar
assessments.
We
have
an
enormous
opportunity
ahead
of
us.
D
We've
already
started
working
with
jarrier
lynch
and
his
team
on
barcroft
and
making
that
a
model
of
how
we
integrate
new
environmental
policy
into
our
housing,
our
county
fleet,
where
we're
moving
quickly
ahead
of
some
of
our
all
of
our
sister
jurisdictions
and
bringing
electric
vehicles
to
our
fleet
and
working
with
our
regional
jurisdictions.
So
let
me
just
sort
of
conclude
by
a
few
things:
how
will
we
know?
We've
been
successful
in
this
office
of
climate
coordination
and
policy
development?
D
D
People
are
trying
to
work
a
couple
of
jobs
and
earn
wages,
people
who
live
below
the
poverty
line,
and
while
we
try
to
figure
out
how
to
electrify
our
fleet,
we
still
need
to
have
a
bus
fleet,
but
they
are
not
mutually
inconsistent
that
we
can
push
ahead
with
all
our
policies.
We
can
work
very,
very
hard
to
make
sure
that
our
buildings
are
the
best
they
can
be
while
we
still
sit
in
them
like
we
do
today.
D
D
We
need
to
give
them
the
information
they
need
to
succeed
and
know
there'll
be
a
place
where
they
can
go
and
get
those
answers.
The
this
office,
this
two-person
team,
along
with
our
air
team,
I'm
convinced
we'll
be
able
to
meet
the
ambitious
goals
you've
laid
out
for
us,
and
with
that,
madam
chair,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
I'm
really
excited
about
the
new
office
of
climate
coordination
and
policy
and
the
opportunity
that
they
will
have,
in
partnership
with
our
subject
matter,
experts
and
leaders
in
air
to
to
set
this
vision
and
collaborate
in
actually
realizing
it.
Let
me
open
the
floor
for
questions
and
comments.
Mr
defrancia,
I
saw
you
first
and
I
know
mr
karen
tonight
was
also
keen
to
win
so
we'll
go
to
you
next.
E
I
was,
I
know
we
have
a
lot
of
other
things,
so
I
just
want
to
be
brief.
I
think
everybody
knows
my
my
interest
in
this
and
and
my
perspective
wasn't
inevitable
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
this.
This
meets
the
the
standard
for
a
way
to
work
forward,
and
I
think
your
points
are
fair.
The
title
of
a
single
person
is
not
dispositive.
E
I
really
remember
so
well
sitting
in
this
room
and
the
choice
we
had
about
the
high
goals
for
2050
and
how
worried
we
were
about
reaching
those
goals,
and
so
I
just
I
won't
claim
this
is
the
elixir
you
put
it
well,
but
I
do
think
this
meets
fully
meets
the
standard
and
I'll
fess
up
to
a
lot
of
passion
which
sometimes
can
doesn't
work
with
reason
perfectly
on
this
issue,
but
I
just
big
thanks
and
then-
and
I
hope
our
whole
community
hears
that,
because
our
next
steps
have
to
be
additive,
it's
not
what
we've
done
or
perspectives
on.
E
What's
happened
in
the
past
on
this
issue
that
is
relevant.
Now
it's
what
we
do
as
a
community
to
work
forward,
and
I
absolutely
agree
with
your
point
that
some
people,
a
level
of
personal
responsibility,
includes
thinking
about
how
you,
your
transportation
choices,
your
etc.
So
it's
additive
and
I
hope
the
whole
community
can
come
together.
So
we
can
reach
the
2035
and
2050
goals
and
then
I
just
there's
one
issue
that
I
don't.
I
want
to
flag
because
it's
early
is
there's
a
one
time.
E
We
talked
about
an
email
a
little
while
ago.
The
community
choice,
aggregation
and
I'm
not
sure
that's
on
our
list
to
discuss
later
today
and
I
don't
know
which,
because
there's
a
one-time
energy
and
environment
bucket
right
and
then
there's
the
one-time
full
bucket,
and
I
don't
think
that
we
need
to
talk
about
it.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
somehow
dmf
or
or
or
miss
cowan
or
that
eventually
before
tuesday,
we
address
it
because
I
don't
know.
A
I
actually
don't
know
about
this,
so
so
there's
a
a
asked
for
line
item
on
community
choice,
aggregation.
E
E
Loudon
has
done
this
and
there's
an
estimate
on
it.
I
think
we
have.
You
know.
I
think
that
that's
something
that
miss
count
has
considered
and
the
manager
okay,
so
I
just
didn't
see
it
on
you
know.
I
know
that
that
I
wanted
to
flag
it
now,
so
that
if
we
need
to
get
to
it
later
today
or
tuesday,
we
can
do
it.
D
I'm
going
to
let
michelle
come
up
and
speak
to
that,
but
I
I
did
want
to
say,
and
the
purpose
behind
this
one
million
dollar
fund
on
moving
ahead
with
community
energy
plan,
which
is
that
there.
If
use
this
as
an
example,
if
this
is
something
that
we
have
not
thought
of
and
don't
have
the
resources
for
your
asking
about,
it
will
immediately
make
it
something
that
we
do
set
aside
resources
for
and
move
ahead
with,
but
I'm
going
to
let
michelle
answer
it
more
specifically.
F
Sure
yeah,
no,
so
we've
been
talking
about
it
actively
and
I
think
we
thought
this
would
be
the
first
thing
that
would
come
from
the
cep.
Action
fund
we've
had
conversations
with
some
of
our
counter
counterpart
jurisdictions
and
we
believe
it
would
be
around
250
000
is
the
cost
estimate.
So
that's
what
the
number
that
I
passed
along
to
mr
d
ferranti
earlier,
and
so
that's
what
our
I
guess,
what
our
thinking
is.
F
E
B
Thank
you,
ma'am
cheer.
First
of
all,
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
was
invested
in
getting
us
here,
so
my
chair,
that
was
good,
good
stuff
and
mr
vice
chair
as
well.
So
I
think
this
is
this
needs
to
be
said
and,
and
mr
manager,
I
hear
you
clearly.
I
appreciate
all
this.
B
The
the
the
new
level
of
discussion
we're
having
about
how
to
lead
arlington
in
the
21st
century
and
how
to
you
know,
make
good
on
on
a
leadership
position
that
we
have
adopted
pretty
early
when
we
adopted
when
our
predecessors
adopted
the
arlington
initiative
on
a
reduction
of
emissions,
because
this
is
what
air
stood
for,
because
it
was
somehow
narrowed
down
to
our
linkedin
initiative
for
thinking
energy.
B
So
I'm
happy
to
see
that
we
are
thinking
more
more
globally
and
more
more
more
universally
about
the
issue
and
the
challenge
we
have
ahead.
So
one
thing
is
missing
in
this
in
today's
conversation,
and
I
think
what
is
missing
is
a
little
bit
more
of
a
specificity
about
what
is
what
actually
will
be
the
job
description
for
this
new
department.
B
Ma'am
chair
you,
you
already
mentioned
the
intention.
I
think
you
covered
it
very
well,
and
I
and
I'm
satisfied
from
what
I
heard
from
for
our
manager,
but
I'm
I
want
just
to
state
for
the
record
what
I
am
expecting
to
see
in
the
next
in
the
next
few
months,
when
we
will
be
trying
to
actually
recruit
and
fill
these
positions
and
try
to
get
this
new
office
going.
So
I
definitely
think
of
people
who
will
be
able
to
network
across
across
the
most
diverse
stakeholdership,
because
everybody
is
involved
with
climate
impact.
B
B
You
know
having
a
center
of
competence
is
one
thing
that
transcends
the
fundamental
barriers
here,
but
the
other
thing
is:
we
really
support
climate
accountability.
You
know
we
all
agree
that
we
need
to
move
the
needle
significantly.
B
The
problem
is
that,
right
now
we
only
have
a
vague
idea
of
where
the
needle
actually
is
so.
I
would
really
expect
this
office
to
help
us
understand
where
arlington,
where
what
our
baselines
here,
they
are,
what
kind
of
what
kind
of
whatever
impact
our
actions
have
and
what
is
the
best.
You
know,
bank
for
the
buck,
for
example,
and
how
to
prioritize
among
these.
B
This
is
why
I
think
that
this
is
a
great
addition
to
air
right
now,
it's
actually
an
extension
of
air.
I
I
I
understand
it.
Does
this
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
I
believe
that
this
is
enhancing
airs,
an
elevating
heirs
mission
and
scope,
and
it's
it's
in
the
same
continuum
of
purpose
and
and
and
and
mission,
and
I
and
I
really
am
very
supportive
of
this
extension-
and
you
know
I
I
understand
incremental
change.
B
I
actually
normally
am
all
for
incremental
change,
but
the
the
challenge
here
begins
to
be,
or
is
already
a
challenge
that
that
requires
bold
actions
at
some
point
and
we
need
to
understand
what
it
will
take
to
move
us
forward
and
to
achieve
the
reduction
of
emissions
as
air
was.
You
know,
initially
thought
and
and
conceived
so
a
few
months
ago,
advocates
have
asked
us
to
declare
a
climate
emergency
and,
of
course
they
didn't
mean
the
formal
declaration
of
an
emergency.
B
We
said
this
has
to
become
a
whole
of
government
policy
and
I
think
I
I
expect
that
the
job
descriptions,
the
formation
and
the
the
original
constitution
of
this
office
will
respond
to
exactly
that,
to
respond
to
an
emergency
and
have,
as
a
result,
a
far
more
resilient
community
and
allow
us
to
make
the
right
decisions
in
the
right
size
right
with
the
right
reach
and
in
the
right
context,
so
that
we
have
the
maximum
impact
on
the
carbonization,
which
really
is
a
a
a
an
emergency.
B
B
Outcomes
have
to
be
supported
by
structural
by
structure,
and
this
is
the
only
way
to
to
be
certain
that
they
will
be
long-lasting
and
they
will
provide
the
change
that
we
are
looking
to
to
get
from
from
the
actions
that
we're
taking.
So
I
am
excited
to
support
this
this
step
and
I'm
excited
to
collaborate
to
make
it
as
bold
as
possible,
and
you
know
focused
on
the
outcomes
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
our
vice
chair
for
working
with
our
manager
to
work
this
out
because
it
was
a.
It
was
a
not
an
easy
thing
to
do.
In
the
midst
of
all
of
the
other
budget
things
going
on,
I
know
I'm
really
pleased
to
see
how
we're
moving
forward.
H
I
also
agree
that
you
know
we
do
need
to
look
at
the
outcomes
I
learned
a
while
ago,
when
I
was
you
know,
doing
the
school
system
that,
at
that
point,
you'd
have
when
one
one
person
was
appointed
to
do
maybe
folks
that
needed
help
with
english
and
somebody
else
was
supposed
to
help
somebody
with
reading
and
so
and
other
and
the
rest
of
the
of
the
staff.
Would
somebody
say:
well:
that's
that
person's
job,
not
mine
and,
of
course,
to
get
here
to
get
a
hold
of
government
approach.
H
It
believes
to
be
everybody
doing
it,
and
if
we
think
that
it's
going
to
be
one
person,
we're
we've
kind
of
lost
already.
So
I
think
that's
that's
a
really
good.
You
know
reminder
for
all
of
us.
I
had
one
question,
mr
schwartz,
for
you,
my
which
I
believe
I
think
I
heard
you
say
a
significant
portion
of
this
person's
and
this
office's
job
is
going
to
be
working
with
the
community
and
and
coordinating
with
the
community
correct.
I
see
the
head
nod
right.
G
D
H
Thank
you
because
I
I
do
remember,
and
it's
so
easy
to
forget
that
we
can
do
everything
with
government,
but
if
we
don't
deal
with
everybody
who's
living
here,
who's,
not
government,
we're
not
going
to
get
very
far,
and
I
do
think
that's
a
major
role
that
this
office
could
do
and
really
help
with.
I
think
that's
been
a
bit
of
a
gap.
H
I
also
think
our
our
folks
are
doing
demetre
and
her
team,
the
air
team,
a
lot's
going
on
often
that
people,
even
our
advocates,
are
not
really
quite
aware
of,
and
then
because
they
don't
hear
about
it.
They
assume
it's
not
happening
and
then
they
get
upset
and
everybody's
just
trying
to
do
their
work
anyway.
I'm
hoping
that
some
of
that
communication
issue
will
be
solved
here
a
little
bit
and
I
finally,
I
just
will
say
I
was
struck
it
kind
of
stuck
in
my
head
that
I
think
c2e2
in
their
budget
comments.
H
One
of
the
things
they
suggested
was
a
survey
to
ask
people
what
they
need
to
know
to
try
to
help.
You
know,
and
that
might
be
something
that
they
can
do.
I
really
do
think
there
are
a
lot
of
people
who
really
do
need
to
know
what
they
what
they
can
do.
They
just
need
a
little
support
and
I'm
really
hoping
this
office
can
do
it,
because
if
we
don't
make
this
a
whole
of
arlington
approach,
not
a
whole
of
government
but
a
whole
arlington
approach,
we're
not
going
to
get
too
far.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I'd
like
to
reference.
Mr
d
ferrante's
comments
on
community
choice.
Aggregation,
I'm
glad
you
brought
that
up
and
while
I'm
pleased
that
we
have
the
wherewithal,
within
the
undesignated
fund,
to
fund
the
studying
the
magnitude
of
250
000,
it's
my
firm
expectation
that
something
of
that
order
wouldn't
be
necessary
in
arlington,
loudoun
county
has
recently
completed
a
study,
and
a
significant
portion
of
that
would
be
looking
at
a
lot
of
the
administrative
and
legal
issues
that
would
be
similarly
put
on
us.
So
I
want
to
leverage
that
work.
C
That's
already
done
and
really
focus
our
energies.
If
this
is
something
that
is
our
way
forward
on
thinking
about
what
is
the
you
know,
proper
mix
of
choice
that
we
would
offer
whether
it
would
be
possible
to
both
prioritize
reduction
in
rates,
but
also
a
increased
decarbonization
of
the
power
that
we
received?
Those
are
the
kinds
of
questions
that
I
think
could
be
addressed
within
a
feasibility
study
at
far
less
than
a
quarter
of
the
fund
that
we're
setting
up.
Thank
you
thanks.
A
Excellent
well,
and
with
thanks
again,
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
seeing
what
this
organization
can
do,
and
I
just
want
to,
as
we
conclude
to
echo
comments
that
I
think
each
of
my
colleagues
have
made
reflecting
the
unanimity
of
our
appreciation
for
our
air
team.
It
is
because
we
value
the
direction
that
they
have
set
with
the
cep
for
us
and
are
heading
and
that
we
are
excited
to
amplify
and
augment,
and
we
value
their
continuing
work.
So
very
much
particularly
and
many.
D
Times,
they're
the
ones,
if
I
could
just
add,
maybe
this
is
even
a
segue
to
what
you're
going
to
cover
next,
which
is
in
this
particular
case,
and
we've
talked
about
this
a
lot
since
you
gave
me
a
bunch
of
guidance
back
in
october
and
november,
demetrius
group
has
been
had
three
vacancies
for
an
extended
period
of
time,
and
even
with
that,
they've
done
an
enormous
amount
of
work,
and
I
think
just
now,
they're
getting
up
to
full
strength
and
I'm
hoping
with
some
of
the
steps
you're
going
to
be
taking
today
and
the
rest
of
the
markup
that
you
know
the
real
challenge
of
getting
people
in
to
do
the
work-
and
I
know
we've
created
this
this
office-
we're
going
to
find
probably
a
superhuman
being
of
some
kind
and
pay
them
whatever
it
takes
to
get
done.
D
But
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
get
the
quality
people
like
we
have
here
now
and
and
bring
more
of
them
in
so
that
we
can
embark
on
yeah
it's
going
to
sound
corny
the
work
of
our
life
really
to
to
get
this
done.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
I'm
gonna,
let
that
be
the
last
word
I'll
put.
Okay,
we
have
one
other
big
picture
item
to
talk
about
before
we
get
into
markup,
which
you've
teamed
me
up
for
nicely,
which
is
affordable
housing.
This
is,
I
think,
by
far
the
area
of
besides
climate,
you
know
greatest
discussion,
analysis
investment
throughout
this
budget
for
us
relative
to
to
prior
year
investments
I
wanted
to
just
take
a
moment.
A
What
these
investments
look
like,
not
only
what
the
manager
proposed
in
his
investments
at
the
direction
of
the
board,
but
some
of
the
things
that
we
will
be
adding
and
you
can
see
those
I
don't
know
if
it's
possible
to
zoom
in
the
the
important
thing
is
that
little
plus
icon
at
the
bottom
is
these
are
items
that
are
being
added
by
the
county
board
over
and
above
what
the
managers
proposed.
A
So
I'm
going
to
just
briefly
highlight
a
couple
of
things
and
then
turn
to
mr
defranti
who's
been
working
very
closely
on
a
number
of
these
issues.
You
know
housing
assistance,
direct
housing
assistance
remains
one
of
our
key
priorities.
We've
talked
we
talk,
often
about
ahif
and
the
development
of
the
bricks
and
mortar.
A
We
know
that
the
vast
majority
of
folks
living
in
units
that
are
committed
to
people
living
at
60
area,
median
income,
aren't
making
60
area
median
income
or
in
fact
anywhere
near
it,
and
so
the
these
grants
or
these
programs
are
so
important
to
close
the
gap
between
the
incomes
of
some
of
our
more
vulnerable
arlington
families
and
residents
and
the
the
bricks
and
mortar
committed,
affordable
units.
A
A
That
is
an
unprecedented
amount
of
money,
that
is
about
subsidizing
families
with
very
low
incomes.
Almost
all,
in
fact,
90
of
the
families
in
that
program
have
incomes
less
than
30
percent
of
area
median
income.
We
are
also
in
the
in
the
months
ahead,
going
to
be
embarking
on
a
housing
grant
study.
We
talked
a
little
bit
about
that
with
our
dhs
team
during
their
presentation
to
us
a
few
weeks
ago,
and
we
are
excited
to
really
affirm
and
and
understand
the
direction
the
housing
grants
program
future.
A
We
continue
to
invest
a
significant
amount
of
money
in
eviction
prevention
and
especially
as
we're
seeing
state
and
federal
programs
end.
We
are
stepping
in
to
fill
the
gap
locally.
There
is
our
ongoing
commitment,
of
course,
to
the
ahif.
A
We
will
be
investing
close
to
with
the
county
board's
ads,
assuming
that
the
mark
is
successful
today,
close
to
19
million
dollars
for
ahif,
so
exceeding
last
year's
funding
to
really
help
that
brick
and
mortar
development
pipeline.
A
That
is,
of
course,
in
addition
to
some
major
achievements
this
year,
most
their
past
fiscal
year
anyway,
most
notably
the
acquisition
and
preservation
of
1300
plus
units
at
barcroft
apartments.
Where
are
we
going
next?
A
couple
of
big
areas,
of
course,
do
continue
to
be
that
housing,
development
pipeline
and
oversight
and
quality
of
affordable
housing,
which
has
been
a
big
area
of
discussion
and
mr
defranco,
do
you
want
to
talk
about
those
two
areas.
E
Sure
I
think
that
your
comments
and
the
the
plus
the
red
plus
circles
kind
of
touch
on
so
important
the
areas,
and
so
we
have
two
additional,
the
the
two
full-time
employees.
One
would
will
be
working
on
the
quality
of
housing,
which
we
and
sort
of
widening
the
aperture
looking
county-wide,
and
that
is
a
very,
very
important
addition
and
I
think,
there's
an
element
of
you.
You
you're
able
to
achieve
one
advocate's
goal
and
then
you
want
another-
and
I
think
we
just
do
need
to
pause
and
really
acknowledge.
E
That's
a
huge
addition
that
is
going
to
help
and
it's
been
talked
about
for
the
last
months.
And
then
I
also
think
I
know
barcroft
is
a
is
a
is
a
huge
victory,
probably
one
of
the
most
important
votes
I'll
ever
cast
on
this
in
this
body,
and
we
have
an
additional
person
regarding
the
housing
development
function,
and
I
think
that
is
critical.
E
I
know
that
advocates
have
asked
for
increased
capacity
to
address
things
like
nofa
and
fair
housing,
where
we're
delivering
housing,
affordability
and
I've
engaged
with
staff
and
been
and-
and
it's
been
helpful,
those
conversations
with
respect
to
the
nofo
barcroft,
crystal
houses
and
other
development
projects.
E
I'm
persuaded
we've
got
what
we
need
to
look
at
our
housing
supply
goals,
and
I
know
we
have
stakeholders
advocates,
but
also
stakeholders
that
are
non-profit
housing
developers,
but
all
all
across.
So
we
have
the.
I
believe
we
have
the
capacity
for
the
coming
year
with
respect
to
that
nofa
question
to
address
our
housing
supply,
which
has
to
be
the
most
important
issue,
and
so
that,
with
respect
to
that
with
respect
to
fair
housing,
we
we've
had
conversations
just
to
we
were.
E
This
has
been
a
subject
that
has
been
debated
nationally.
I
strongly
support
it.
I
know
many
of
our
advocates
do
it
is
our
previous
administration
prior
to
2020
did
not
support
it
very
frustrating,
but
what
we
need
is
the
staff
needs
the
time
to
focus
over
the
coming
months
and
by
the
and
an
initial
report
will
be
forthcoming.
I'm
told-
and
I
share
the
belief
it
can
be
done
by
the
end
of
this
year,
so
that's
with
respect
to
the
capacity
we
need
and
the
expertise
with
respect
to
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing.
E
I
think
also.
I
should
just
note,
as
a
matter
of
thanks
the
housing
team.
The
housing
work
is
supported
by
cphd
and
dhs,
and
I
haven't
even
touched
on
the
dhs
work.
That's
so
important,
but
I
did
have
some
conversations.
I
know
all
of
us
care
so
deeply
about
affordable
housing,
but
those
are
at
least
some
context
to
try
to
indicate
that
we
listened
and
fully
considered
some
of
our
advocates
additional
concerns.
E
I
guess
one
anecdote
to
end
is
that
when
I
think
about
homelessness,
you
know
permanent
supportive
housing
is
so
key
and
an
additional
588
000
is
a
is
a
significant
investment,
and
so
I
just
that's
sort
of
an
indicator
of
how
we
really
are
working
and
investing
in
in
this
area-
and
you
know-
maybe
I
didn't
take
enough
time
when
I
first
saw
that
to
pause
and
appreciate
what
a
big
step
forward
that
is,
along
with
the
other
investments.
So
thanks
man
chair,
thank.
A
You,
I
think
I
saw
mr
dorsey's
hand
up
first
and
then
we'll
go.
Mr
carantonis.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
appreciate
our
chance
to
talk
about
this
comprehensively.
You
know
I
am
not
one
who
tends
to
be
hyperbolic,
but
I
do
think
we
have
more
most
robust
housing
program
in
in
virginia
and
I
think
it's
meeting
the
needs
of
supply.
It's
meeting
the
needs
of
people
immediately,
who
were
income
constrained
and
who
would
otherwise
not
be
able
to
live
in
our
community.
C
It's
providing
the
support
for
the
housing
programs
that
provide
the
comprehensive
wrap
around
services
that
are
needed
for
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
community
and
our
efforts
are
stepping
up
to
meet
the
growing
demand
and,
to
you
know,
really
help
lead
our
region
towards
the
path
forward
to
to
housing
affordability.
So
I
I
know
that
people
could
look
at
line
items
and
say:
oh,
I
wish
we
could
do
more,
but
I
think
we
are.
We
are
certainly
meeting
the
need
and
and
and
funding
the
pipeline
as
we
know
it.
C
You
know
there
comes
a
point
at
which
more
money
doesn't
necessarily
produce
better
outcomes,
and
I
think
that
we
have
struck
the
right
balance.
But
I
thank
you
for
for
bringing
this
up
and
allowing
us
to
have
this
little
conversation
within
the
context
of
the
budget.
G
A
You
and
mr
carontonis.
B
Yep
a
short
addition
to
everything
that
has
been
said
by
mr
defront
and
mr
dorsey,
with
all
of
which
I
agree
with,
and
most
importantly,
this
is
the
the
point
to
to
say
a
very
big.
Thank
you
to
all
the
work
that
has
been
invested
by
staff
in
in
an
unprecedented
year
where
we
have
seen
really
significant
improvements,
not
only
the
the
number
of
the
deliverables,
the
the
unit
count
was
unmatched.
B
It
was
also
the
ability
to
respond
to
really
really
critical
projects
like
the
barcraft
apartment
acquisition,
so
that,
and
on
top
of
that,
we
have
been
able,
both
in
crystal
houses
and
in
barcraft,
to
commit
affordability
for
the
very
very
long
term
for
a
for
a
century
in
these
cases.
So
that
literally
elevates
the
you
know
the
elevates
our
policy
level
now-
and
I
agree
with
mr
dorsey
it
is,
it
is
not
a.
B
It
is
not
an
exaggeration
to
to
say
that
we
can,
literally,
you
know,
think
about
us
having
one
of
the
best
housing
programs
in
virginia
right
now,
and
the
the
budget
and
the
additions
on
the,
and
that
are
very
nicely
you
know
displayed
here-
are
really
a
manifestation
of
this.
I
wanted
to
just
spend
for
one
minute
on
on
the
issue
of
fair
housing.
I
do
agree
with
advocates
that
this
is
really
a
key
equity
measure.
This
is
a
key
equity
policy.
B
I
do
think,
though,
that
we
have
capacity
and
expertise
or
growing
expertise
within
the
department
to
to
to
evolve
there
and
to
deliver
a
higher
level
of
accountability
on
that
and
also
to
deliver
better
policies,
more
impactful
policies
in
the
very
short
term
so,
like
mr
deferenti,
I'm
also
looking
forward
on
on
the
report
for
this,
and
I'm
ready
to
to
follow
up
with
more
policy
pressure
on
this.
Thank
you.
H
H
We
went
through
a
lot
of
difficult
when
we
had
the
pandemic,
where
we
had
to
really
change
what
we
were
doing
to
make
sure
that
we
just
didn't
have
all
kinds
of
people
on
the
street
during
the
pandemic,
and
that
made
us
look
at
like
the
qualifications
we
have
and
make
us
rethink
it,
which
I
think
we
need
to
do,
and
then
we
had
the
serrano
and
we
realized
the
conditions
in
the
serrano
were
upon,
but
probably
representative
of
maybe
some
other
of
our
older
stock.
H
And
so
we
need
to
look
at
that
which
we're
going
to
do
and
then,
of
course,
we
had
barcroft,
which
you
know
was
bought
by
a
for.
You
know
a
group
that's
going
to
do
affordable
housing,
which
is
great,
but
we
had
another-
and
I
remember,
I'm
forgetting
the
name
where
all
of
a
sudden
all
of
these
units
were
gone.
People
had
to
be
out
on
vehicles,
columbia,
gardens,
yeah,
and
thank
you
for
reminding
me
the
name,
and
that
made
us
realize.
H
Oh
my
the
displacement
issues
that
we
have
got
that
are
just
kind
of
looming
there,
so
we've
had
a
lot
of
warnings
and
I,
which
is
great
and
I
think,
we're
starting
to
prepare
for
those,
but
I
feel
like
just
in
these
past
two
years
we're
making
a
huge
kind
of
transition
in
how
we
handle
our
affordable
housing
and
how
we're
looking
at
it.
We've
got
a
ways
to
go,
but
these
investments
here
kind
of
represent
that
look.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
I'm
so
glad
you
brought
up
columbia
gardens,
I
don't
know
we
had
a
lot
of
opportunity,
either
from
the
dice
for
the
work
session
table
to
spotlight
the
incredible
amount
of
work
that
went
in
from
our
human
services,
as
well
as
housing
teams,
on
that
the
level
of
engagement
to
go
household
by
household
to
to
find
and
create
trust
with
relying
heavily
on
our
community
partners,
of
course,
in
bugatta
folks,
who
may
have
been
doubled
up,
for
example,
or
in
sublet
type
conditions
on
the
books
or
off
and
really
ensure
that
every
human
being
in
that
building
was
served
and
not
just
go
through.
A
A
household
checklist
was
one
of
the
more
inspiring
things.
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
watch
unfolding
county
government,
and
I
hope
that
the
level
of
resourcing
here
I
feel
confident
in
fact,
that
the
level
of
resourcing
here
is
a
level
that
will
allow
us
to
to
continue
that
type
of
work
that
focuses
on
every
human
being
in
need
of
our
housing
programming.
A
Okay,
so
with
those
two
big
topics,
our
three
big
topics
covered,
I
am
going
to
launch
into
our
markup.
So
I
think
our
team
is
going
to
pull
this
up
for
me.
I
am
going
to
begin
by
moving
the
now
presented
chairman's
mark
for
the
fiscal
2023
budget.
A
Thank
you
so
much
that's
been
seconded
by
mr
dorsey.
I'm
going
to
take
a
moment
now
to
speak
to
this.
We
also
have
included
in
this
markup
a
number
of
colleagues
priorities,
and
so
I
will
ask
you
to
join
me
in
speaking
to
this
motion
and
then
we'll
have
an
opportunity
for
potential
amendments
as
well.
A
So
I
am
not
going
to
go
line
by
line,
but
I
am
going
to
start
by
noting
that
nearly
everything
that
you
can
see
and
if
we
can
scroll
down
as
we
get
to
the
actual
investments
right,
mid-year
third
quarter,
funding
grade
that
nearly
all
of
the
investments
that
you
can
see
beginning
in
third
quarter
and
extending
well
down
to
about
item
53
are
about
compensation.
A
I
cannot
say
that
we
have
met
every
need
in
this
budget,
but
I
do
know
that
we
have
tried
very
hard
to
acknowledge
the
needs
to
show
the
value
that
we
place
on
our
county
employees
and
to
support
compensation
increases
above
what
was
originally
proposed
and
then
to
support
a
variety
of
investments
that
go
to
things
that
are
essential
to
quality
of
life,
whether
that
is
a
reduced
work
week
or
premiums
for
those
who
have
special
skills
like
our
swift
water,
certified
teams
within
the
fire
department,
the
the
marquee
items
to
note
as
we
scroll
down
there
really
are
three
areas.
A
Well,
let
me
start
by
saying
we're
going
to
add
an
additional
one
percent
merit
pay,
or
I
propose
here
anyway,
to
add
an
additional
one
percent
merit
play
for
general
employees.
The
manager
had
proposed
4.25.
This
will
take
them
up
to
5.25.
A
This
is,
I
think,
80
of
our
budget
is
salaries.
This
is
about
the
biggest
ticket
item
we
can
go
to.
I
would
have
loved
to
see
that
be
raised
by
more
percentage
points,
but
I
hope
that
our
employees
really
in
every
department,
frontline
and
otherwise
can
can
see
this
five
and
a
quarter
percent
compensation
increases
as
a
sign
of
how
much
we
value
them.
A
I
also
just
want
to
call
attention
to
some
folks
who
have
truly
been
on
the
front
lines
most
and
those
are
the
highlighted
areas.
That
is
our
dhs
clinical
services,
whom
we
are
proposing
to
support
with
about
800
000
a
little
more
in
investments,
and
then
compensation
increases
for
our
police
for
our
fire
and
for
sheriff
the
largest
of
those
increases
about
seven
percent.
I
believe
above
the
managers
propose
six
point.
Five
percent
for
public
safety
do
are
proposed
here
to
go
to
police.
A
I
will
speak
a
little
bit
more
about
this
on
tuesday
at
adoption,
but
I
think
suffice
it
to
say
we
have
had
a
front
row
seat
too,
and
I
think
many
of
our
community
members
are
experiencing
what
is
not
hyperbolic
to
call
an
absolute
crisis
in
a
department
that
has
generally
operated
at
very
high
standards
of
professionalism.
A
To
me,
the
being
able
to
invest
in
recruiting
and
retaining
a
high
quality
police
department
is
integral
to
our
agenda
of
more
racial
equity,
driven
in
policing
being
able
to
retain
excellent
police
officers
recruit
a
high
caliber
of
police
officers
is
going
to
be
the
the
bedrock
for
the
work
that
our
community
new
community
oversight
board
is
going
to
do
to
extend,
extend
trust.
A
It
is
going
to
be
a
predicate
for
increased
training
and
drawing
on
the
expertise
and
ability
of
our
police
officers
to
partner
even
more
with
mental
health
and
pull
back
on
a
traditional
response
to
people
in
mental
health
crisis
and
shift
that
more
to
the
department
of
human
services
and
skills
there.
So
that
is
why
that
investment
is
particularly
great.
It
is
about
solving
what
is,
I
would
argue,
one
of
our
biggest
problems
in
staffing
right
now
in
arlington.
A
A
8.5
percent
increases
is,
I
think,
a
high
water
mark,
at
least
in
my
time
in
county
government,
and
I
hope
will
be
understood
as
an
investment
that
shows
the
board's
value
of
them
as
well.
A
There
are
a
whole
variety
of
other
investments
here
I
think
most
notably,
there
are
proposals
to
increase
the
movement
range
movement
so
that,
along
with
some
other
investments
in
decompression,
addresses
the
fact
that
we've
got
employees
who
going
without
raises
for
the
first
couple
of
years
of
their
career
has
meant
that
they
they've
not
really
progressed
so
real
investments
in
helping
them
progress
so
that
they
can
see
their
future
here
in
arlington
county,
so
that
is
by
far
the
biggest
level
of
investment.
How
are
we
paying
for
this?
A
We
had
a
little
bit
of
additional
mid-year
revenue,
which
we
were
fortunate
to
see.
We
also
I,
I
really
want
to
say
that
I
very
much
appreciate
an
open
conversation
with
our
school
board.
Generally
speaking,
at
least
in
my
six
prior
budgets,
we've
always
been
in
a
position
of
looking
to
find
a
little
more
out
of
the
county,
quote,
unquote
side
to
give
to
the
school
board
and
really
appreciate
their
partnership
and
doing
the
opposite.
A
This
year,
they
were
able
to
proceed
with
a
lot
of
compensation,
increases
for
their
teachers
and
make
a
bunch
of
step,
adjustments
and
ongoing
investments,
and
so
really
appreciated
their
understanding
to
keep
some
of
that
additional
mid-year
money
on
our
side
of
the
ledger.
To
pay
for
this
one
notable
pay
for
as
well
that
I'm
doing
I've
highlighted
just
there,
because
I
think
it's
important
to
show
our
work
as
you
scroll
down.
A
There
is
some
money
in
the
dts
budget
for
a
contractor
to
help
with
the
the
transition
of
the
erp
system,
I'm
replacing
that
with
one-time
funding
and
that's
fun.
That's
shoring
up
some
funding
as
well.
We
have
also
done
a
real
credit
to
our
dmf
team,
a
pretty
deep
analysis
of
both
the
state
budgets
and
what
our
peer
jurisdictions
are
assuming
in
the
state
budgets
and
found
a
little
bit
more
ongoing
money
there.
So
that
is
my
my
biggest
proposal
to
you
all
today.
A
I
really
appreciate
my
colleagues
engagement
with
me
on
it,
as
well
as
some
information
about
how
I
plan
to
pay
for
them
in
this
proposal.
Okay,
let
me
run
through
some
one-time
investments
that
I
think
are
perhaps
not
as
large
in
scale
but
are
no
less
exciting.
A
Just
all
right.
There
we
go
we
beginning
with
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
arts
equity
grants.
Last
year
we
designated
fifty
thousand
dollars
of
one
one-time
money
for
arts
commission
which,
as
we
heard
from
in
march,
has
been
doing
a
lot
of
really
cool
work,
around
understanding,
equity,
creating
equity
principles.
They
can
inform
all
of
their
work.
Indeed,
all
of
arlington's
arts
and
culture
community.
Last
year
we
granted
them
about
fifty
thousand
dollars
or
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
money.
A
That
became
the
aware
grants
which
was
about
helping
really
on
a
project
basis,
arts
organizations
and
artists,
both
recover
from
the
pandemic
and
make
new
investments
and
try
new
things
when
it
comes
to
racial
equity.
So
this
year
we
have
an
opportunity
to
help
them
take
everything
that
they
learned
from
the
aware
program
and
start
to
integrate
it
into
the
ongoing
arts
equity
program.
A
I'm
really
pleased
with
the
work
of
both
and
the
feedback
of
our
cultural
affairs
division,
as
well
as
the
chair
of
the
arts
commission
to
be
able
to
present
this
to
you
all
today.
This
is
an
opportunity
again
to
integrate
those
lessons
learned
one
example
of
that:
it's
a
small
one,
but
but
I
know
that
they
found
that
it
would
be
really
helpful
to
have
a
small
amount
of
money,
one
time
that
could
be
used
to
advertise
and
do
deeper
engagement
with
arts
and
underserved
communities.
A
It's
hard
to
do
that
out
of
our
already
tights
arts
grant
budget.
So
that's
a
great
example
of
the
kind
of
flexibility
and
innovation
that
this
fund
will
support,
as
well
as
helping
arts
groups
recover
from
the
pandemic.
Do
you
want
to
highlight
that
it
is
one
time
if
we
want
to
grow
that
program
over
time,
and
I
would
be
supportive
of
that
we're
going
to
need
to
look
at
that
differently
in
future
years,
but
for
now
excited
to
be
able
to
invest
that
I'm
proposing
investment
of
75
000
each
in
two
studies.
A
Folks,
who
were
here
at
the
planning
work
plan
work
session
heard
us
talk
about
this.
This
is
money
to
expedite,
to
hire
consultants,
to
help
us
expedite
two
areas
of
study
that
are
really
important
to
me.
I
think
to
us
on
the
board.
I
know
the
planning
commission,
others
one
is
the
expediting
of
studying
what
is
an
increasing
phenomenon
of
residential
property,
commercial
property
owners
interested
in
converting
to
hotel.
A
We've
had
some
unease
with
that
and
there's
a
real
eagerness,
at
least
on
my
part
for
for
some
guiding
principles,
which
the
study
will
help
expedite.
The
other
is
child
care.
Zoning
we
have
a
lot
of
if
not
loose,
ends
that
at
least
identified
areas
for
further
work
that
came
out
of
the
child
care
initiative
in
2018.
One
of
the
ones
I
am
most
excited
about
is
thinking
about
how
to
incent,
maybe
affordable
child
care
as
part
of
our
community
benefit
structure.
A
But
we
need
a
zoning
study
to
be
able
to
do
that,
and
I
am
now.
I
think
I
have
one
more
and
then
I'm
gonna
start
calling
on
colleagues
to
talk
about
some
of
these
priorities.
One
more
for
me.
Last
year
we
allocated
fifty
thousand
dollars
and
directed
staff
to
prepare
a
notice
of
funding
available
for
restorative
justice.
This
is
a
a
concept,
a
set
of
values
that
our
community
is
very
excited
about.
A
A
Okay,
so
over
to
colleagues,
here's
a
quick
one
just
to
begin
with
the
the
gdc
training.
Ms
garvey,
if
you
wanted
to
speak
to
that,
I
know
that
was
a
priority.
Sure.
H
Sure,
just
just
briefly,
I
mean
that
was
the
one
request
that
we
had
really
from
from
judge
newman
and
government
is
where
people
just
you
often
just
don't-
do
training,
whereas
in
private
industry
lots
of
money
is
invested
in
training,
and
this
is
an
area
that
courts,
particularly
with
the
pandemic
courts,
are
very
old
and
traditional,
but
they
need
to
be
making
changes
and
getting
us
into
the
21st
century
with
technology.
So
I
was
persuaded
that
you
know
this
is
a
small
amount
of
money.
A
Great,
thank
you
and
then
there
are
some
fairly
significant
investments
in
a
couple
of
pools
of
money
regarding
our
economic
development
partnership,
perhaps
more
familiarly
known
as
the
clarinet
alliance,
the
columbia
pike
partnership
and
the
langston
boulevard
alliance.
We
had
requests
from
them
this
year
and
I
just
really
want
to
come
in
and
thank
mr
diferanti
for
working
with
our
aed
team
on
what
I
think
is
a
creative
approach
to
support
them,
at
least
on
a
one-time,
if
not
ongoing
basis.
If
you'd
like
to
speak
to
it.
Thank.
E
You,
madam
chair,
so
this
would
be
up
to
60
000
per
partnership
to
work.
We
will
be
working
on
the
final
language
over
the
coming
days,
but
to
work
on
strategic
partnerships.
Certainly,
we've
also
thought
about
fundraising
match
because
we
want
these.
This
is
one-time
funding
and
we
want
this
to
be
sustainable
for
each
of
the
three
partnerships.
E
So
that's
the
60
000
for
each
of
the
per
per
partnership
and
then
there's
some
unique.
Some
engage
public
engagement,
that's
occurring
along
langston
boulevard
with
the
planning
process
and
place
making
that
would
be
up
to
the
25
000..
So
that's
that
partnership's
piece
and.
A
If
you'll
allow
me
to
add
on
to,
I
mean
one
of
the
things
that
I'm
excited
about
this.
I
I've
expressed
this
philosophy.
My
colleagues
have
heard
me
say
this
a
million
times
and
probably
so
have
the
boards
of
these
organizations
who
are
tired
of
listening
to
me
say
this,
but
I'm
generally
of
the
opinion
that
our
standard
for
supporting
nonprofits
in
our
community
unfortunately
can't
just
be.
A
Is
this
non-profit
doing
great
work
because
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
we
have,
I
think,
it's
probably
fair,
to
say
hundreds
at
least
over
a
hundred
non-profits
in
all
areas
doing
terrific
work?
I
think
the
question
really
becomes,
what
can
a
nonprofit
do
better
than
the
county
can
and
these
economic
development
partnerships
are
a
good
example
of
that.
So
I'm
excited,
I
think,
we'll
have
some
accompanying
guidance
on
tuesday
about
this
one-time
bucket
of
money.
A
That's
really
about
partnering
with
the
county
and
expanding
into
areas
that
are
priorities
for
us,
but
we
know
some
of
these
organizations
can
do
a
better
job
of
than
us.
So
I'm
I'm
really
pleased
about
that
and
appreciate
your
work.
Tree
canopy
study
was
also
a
priority
of
yours.
If
you'd
like
to
speak
to
it.
E
Sure,
just
briefly,
I
think,
there's
a
little
context,
that's
important
just
to
to
put
out
here,
and
that
is
that
we
have
in
the
court.
We
have
a
master
plan,
that's
proceeding
with
respect
to
the
to
forestry
and
natural
resources
as
a
whole,
and
this
is
one-time
funding
to
expedite
the
study.
But
to
do
so
with
the
completion
or
once
the
the
the
master
that
planning
process
is
complete.
E
What
this
funding
could
do
is
it
could
enable
the
procurement
some
of
the
processes
in
order
to
get
the
study
moving
once
it's
done
to
begin,
and
this
would
be
for
fiscal
year
23.
so
that's
july
and
my
census
from
and
it
would
be
staffs
and
the
finalization
of
the
master
plan
that
would
govern
this.
But
it
would
be
in
the
january
february,
the
early
part
of
next
calendar
year
when
this
would
come
forward.
E
A
I
am
particularly
excited
about
this
next
one.
This
is
a
great
idea
that
has
come
from
the
arlington
alliance
on
mental
and
behavioral
health.
I
hope
I
got
their
name
right,
which
is,
of
course,
some
very
familiar
advocates
organized
I
think,
under
a
new
banner,
but
what
I
thought
was
a
very
thoughtful
recommendation.
A
There
is
an
association
for
professionals
working
in
addiction,
medicine.
We
know
the
the
desire.
There
is
absolutely
opportunity
for
improvement,
particularly
at
the
point
of
intake
and
handoff
between
the
police
department
and
the
detention
center
for
individuals
who
may
be
in
detox
or
otherwise
experiencing
the
effects
of
addiction,
so
the
opportunity
to
bring
in
a
fresh
pair
of
eyes
and
a
subject
matter:
expert
pair
of
eyes,
we've
had
some
conversation
about
what
that
might
cost.
I'll
just
note
here.
A
This
is
sort
of
us
splitting
the
difference
between
what
we've
heard
from
the
advocates
about
the
potential
costs
and
what
our
staff's
kind
of
back
of
the
envelope
suggests.
I
will
note,
and
I'm
gonna
get
a
head
nod
from
the
manager.
I
know
if
it
costs
more
than
that.
This
is
the
type
of
thing
he
would
be.
Funding
out
of
his
contention,
it
is
so
consistent
with
our
police
practices,
group
recommendations
and
the
ongoing
priorities
of
this
board
in
this
community.
Ms
garvey,
would
you
like
to
speak
to
adult
day
programming.
H
Thank
you
yeah.
You
know,
I
think
it's
been
a
tough
year
two
years
for
everybody,
we're
all
talking
about
that
a
lot,
but
I
think
our
developmentally
disabled
community,
both
our
clients
and
their
families,
have
really
suffered
more
than
most
they've.
H
Had
you
know,
reductions
in
programming
due
to
things
like
you
know,
health
health
needs
there
have
been
reductions
in
the
health
needs,
covered
planning
and
then
simply
not
having
staff
to
provide
programs
and
not
being
able
to
even
provide
them
at
all
for
a
while
supports,
like
transportation
have
been
cut
back,
which
has
made
for
these
families
and
the
clients
an
already
difficult
situation
even
harder.
I
mean
a
lot
harder
and
a
lot
of
folks
really
do
depend
on
these
programming.
So
what
we'd
like
to
do?
H
What
I'm
going
to
propose
is
this
is
250
and
thank
you
for
putting
it
in
here
for
one-time
funding
to
help
us
kind
of
reset
what
we're
doing
and
address
several
pressing
issues
over
the
next
two
years.
So
this
I'm
not
saying
this
is
a
one-year
thing.
I
think
it's
two
years
to
to
really
work
on
some
issues
like
reopening
the
day
programs
postcovid
with
training
and
supplies
and
protocols.
H
They
need
to
work
through
possibly
expanding
them,
planning
and
exploration,
to
develop
new
and
expanded
programs,
and
those
could
include
you
know:
services
working
with
service
providers,
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
needs
to
be
done
there
and
exploring.
Perhaps
some
additional
transportation
supports.
H
We'd
heard
a
lot
about
about
transportation,
but
this
is
a
community
that
really
really
has
a
hard
time
just
in
good
times,
and
I
think
it's
really
important
to
do
this,
and
I
know
our
staff
has
done
a
lot
of
thinking
on
all
this
they're
kind
of
all
ready,
and
this
seemed
like
a
really
great
time
to
sort
of
do
a
reset
and
give
them
some
some
money
to
work
with
over
the
next
two
years
and
really
get
them
up
up
and
running.
H
I
think
this
is
a
population,
that's
increasing
and
we're
going
to
have
a
continuing
need
and
if
we
can
help
help
and
support
them,
they
can
then
be
better.
You
know
members
of
our
own
community
and
contribute
back,
but
we
need
to
be
giving
them
this
helping
hand.
So
thank
you
thanks.
A
E
Sure
this
is
a
one-time
bucket
of
that
would
be
essentially
grants
to
help
non-profits
serving
low-income
residents
and
also
in
arlington,
and
also
working
to
help
with,
with
a
focus
on
front
line.
We
have
to
finalize
the
some
of
the
guidance
language,
so
it's
focused
it
is.
You
know
worth
saying
a
third
time
that
this
is
one
time
but
we're
mindful
of
the
the
extraordinary
challenge
of
the
last
couple
of
years
as
serving
as
a
frontline
person
for
some
for
our
non-profits.
E
So
there
would
be
both
a
means
to
apply
if
you
already
have
an
existing
grant,
but
there
would
also
be
a
means
to
apply
for
this
if
you
do
not
have
an
existing
grant,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
this
one-time
funding
is
responsive
to
need.
So
we're
we're
finalizing
the
details
of
that
proposal.
E
But
that's
that's
some
of
the
work
that
we've
been
working
on
today.
A
Thank
you
and
I
think,
maybe
learning
one
of
the
things
that
was
not
perfect
but
generally
successful
about
the
grant.
2.0
program
for
small
businesses
was
creating
a
basic
threshold
and
if
you
clear
it,
you
are
eligible
for
funds
right.
So
there's
not
a
lot
of
of
comparing
or
ranking
or
scoring
in
that
regard,
and
then,
mr
dorsey,
I'm
going
to
turn
to
you
to
give
us
a
summary
of
the
of
the
remaining
two
priorities
on
our
mark.
Thank.
C
You,
madam
chair,
and
I
thank
you
for
including
in
the
mark,
an
equity
demonstration
project
just
by
way
of
background
in
2019
when
we
passed
the
equity
resolution.
One
of
the
things
that
we
wanted
to
do
then
was
to
identify
and
implement
pilot
projects
where
we
could
demonstrate
how
to
achieve
racial
equity
outcomes
in
arlington.
C
We've
made
a
lot
of
progress
on
the
equity
resolution
in
the
years
since,
but
we
really
haven't
focused
any
attention
on
any
demonstration
projects,
so
the
proposed
allocation
would
support
an
effort
where
we
would
focus
on
green
valley,
one
of
our
great
historic
neighborhoods,
one
that
at
one
point,
was
almost
exclusively
african-american,
not
by
choice
but
largely
by
design
and
as
such,
was
marginalized
and
deprived
of
much
of
the
investment
and
attention
that
the
rest
of
the
county
received,
and
that
is
certainly
something
that
that
persisted
for
decades,
while
we
may
be
at
a
different
climate
today,
the
results
of
that
lack
of
attention
are
present
in
the
community
and
are
affected
by
some
of
its
residents,
many
of
whom
have
been
part
of
families
there
historically
for
quite
a
long
time.
C
So,
overall,
you
can
look
at
statistics.
Green
valley
residents
earn
75
percent
of
the
incomes
that
arlington
county
households
earn,
and
the
poverty
rate
is
about
twice
that
of
the
county.
But,
as
you
dig
deeper
into
the
outcomes
for
black
residents
in
green
valley,
you
see
that
the
the
the
data
presents
an
even
more
sobering
point
of
view.
So
with
all
of
that,
one
of
the
things
that
presupposes
this
project
is
that
business
as
usual
is
not
going
to
change
these
outcomes
that
have
persisted.
C
County
fair,
so
the
county,
fair,
which
was
in
person
last
year
after
a
year-long
hiatus,
is
looking
to
do
its
work
again
in
person
this
year
circumstances
permitting,
but
for
the
year
that
they
were
not
able
to
conduct
the
fair
in
person.
They
had
incurred
a
number
of
sunk
costs
before
the
decision
was
made
to
cancel
the
fair
in
the
spring
of
2020
and
for
an
organization
like
the
fair
which
takes
the
proceeds
if
there
are
any
that
are
accrue
as
a
buffer
for
years,
where
there's
inclement,
weather
or
unforeseen
circumstances.
C
A
H
Just
on
the
equity
demonstration
project-
and
you
and
I
have
talked
about
this
a
bit-
and
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
and
of
course
we
do
have
other
traditionally
black
communities,
particularly,
I
mean
holes,
hill
and
arlington
view,
and
I
am
happy
to
support
this.
I
am
assuming
that
some
of
this
work
will
also
spill
over
to
benefit
those
communities.
I
mean
and
arlington
view
is
perhaps
the
most
geographically
really
distinct
the
way
it's
been
boxed
in.
H
C
Thank
you
absolutely
miss
garvey
and,
as
one
of
our
you
know,
one
of
the
board's
chief
proponents
of
pilot
projects,
you
as
you
well
articulate
pilots
produce
learnings
that
are
applicable
to
all
areas
that
have
similar
circumstances,
so
anything
that
we
learn
in
green
valley
that
has
utility
to
the
rest
of
the
county,
whether
it
be
arlington
view
or
dominion,
hills,
it
will
be
applied.
But
it's
a
way
of
doing
some
public
policy
and
government
intervention.
C
That's
different
than
our
usual
process,
where
we
allow
the
sort
of
needs
of
the
whole
to
bubble
up
and
we
focus
attention
on
what
might
be
the
needs
of
a
whole
that
that
really
don't
address
inequities
that
have
persisted.
So
this
is
a
different
approach
and
hopefully
the
learnings
will
be
applied
to
other
areas,
and
certainly
this
will
not
supplant
any
efforts
that
we
may
have
in
any
other
arlington
neighborhood
to
do
good
work.
Yeah.
H
A
Great,
thank
you
so
much.
Okay.
I
think
we
are
now
ready
to
open
the
floor
for
amendments
to
the
markup.
C
Madam
chair,
I
I
would
like
to
do
that,
but
I
did
have
a
question
about
one
of
the
items
that
we
discussed
previously.
You
know,
I
don't
remember
what
I
was
interested
in
here.
Oh.
C
Mr
d
ferrante,
thank
you
for
the
work
on
the
human
service
nonprofits.
I
will,
you
know,
offer
to
be
integrally
involved
in
helping
to
develop
the
direction
that
accompanies.
C
You
know
how
we're
going
to
allot
that
you
know
we
do
want
to
make
sure
that
we
we
help
support,
needs
but
also
ensure
that
some
of
the
stated
concerns
that
we
heard
from
the
human
service
nonprofits,
that
is
to
promote
growing
living
standards
for
their
staff,
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
some
ability
to
have
some
confidence
that
that's
what
these
resources
are
going
to
go
to.
While,
as
miss
crystal
said
need
is
great.
C
A
Going
to
jump
in
because
I
don't
want
mr
diferenti
to
get
caught
between
us,
mr
dorsey,
I
really
respect
that
perspective.
I
am
a
little
concerned
about
the
expectation
that
the
county
is
supporting
salaries.
That
is
very
much
an
ongoing
need,
and
I
think
that
we
are
setting
ourselves
up
for
a
challenge
by
trying
to
meet
that
need
with
one-time
funding.
I
also
think
it
creates
maybe
furthers
the
perspective
that
the
employees
of
non-profits
are
some
kind
of
the
direct
responsibility
of
county
government.
A
I
think
our
nonprofits
should
be
free
to
hire
or
adjust
their
staff
without
you
know
the
the
expectation
that
county
government
has
direction
over
their
staffing
levels,
compensation
and
so
forth.
So
we
can
probably
work
this
out
a
little
bit
in
direction,
but
but
I
will
say
that
the
the
more
this
fund
shifts
towards
emphasis
on
personnel
the
less
comfortable
I'm
going
to
get
with
it.
A
I
think
if
they
have
a
variety
of
needs
that
can
be
met
that
were
incurred
over
the
pandemic
and
thus
free
up
resources
for
bonuses
etc
for
their
their
folks.
You
know
we
receive
a
lot
of
requests
and
we
process
those
through
the
lens
of
what
we
can
do
best
as
government
and
what
we
think
aligns
with
other
priorities.
I'd
liken
it
to,
for
example,
our
economic
development
partnerships
gave
us
very
specific
requests
for
personnel
as
well.
We
are
meeting
those
in
a
different
way
again.
A
I
think
we
we
can
come
back
and
offer
here's
what
we
can
do
as
government
and,
what's
perhaps
best
aligned
with
what
we're
positioned
to
do.
I
mean,
if
you
don't
think,
that's
worth
doing
that
we
can
have
that
conversation,
but
but
I
will
say,
yeah.
C
A
And
I
think
as
well.
The
idea
here
would
be.
I
mean
the
beauty
of
structuring
it
like
that
small
business
grant
program
that
aed
ran.
Is
you
don't
have
to
bring
us
a
proposal
for
what
you
plan
to
spend
it
on?
We
just
need
to
know
that
you
meet
certain
threshold
criteria
and
have
been
affected
by
it,
but
I'm
sorry
I'm
not.
I'm
not.
E
So
I
think
to
your
last
point:
you
know:
grant
2.0
was
the
conference
the
the
start
of
the
conversation
earlier
this
week
and
as
we
were
working
on
this,
but
still
there
was,
I
think,
miss
friedman
and
and
miss
cowan
sort
of
articulated.
There
still
would
need
to
be
a
simple,
a
grant
agreement,
and
so
I
think
we
can
welcome
all
the
I
think,
both
of
you,
everyone
who
wants,
we
will
work.
E
We
will
have
plenty
of
time
before
tuesday,
tuesday
to
work
on
the
wordsmithing
and
I'm
happy
to
to
work
on
it.
I'm
just
I'm
really
grateful
that
we're
at
least
thinking
here
as
those
who
are
front
line.
Who've
been
doing
different
work,
very
different
work
from
our
public
safety,
but
still
important
work.
So
I
won't
surprise
anyone
with
language-
and
I
do
just
for
the
record-
want
to
say
that
I
was
driven
by
miss
friedman
and
miss
cowan's.
E
H
I'm
so
sorry,
we
sorry
sorry,
mr
karen
tonis
I'll
jump
in
real
quick,
mr
d
franti.
So
the
idea
is
that
this
is
going.
It's
a
grant
program
that
the
details
haven't
been
worked
out.
Yet
they
will
be-
and
I
assume
by
tuesday,
probably
will
maybe
have
the
scope
of
the
program
a
little
bit.
But
I
I
assume
that
all
everything
won't
be
absolutely
worked
out
by
tuesday
either
and
will
that
program
kind
of
come
back
to
us
in
a
little
bit
to.
E
Look
at
a
bit,
it
was
very
clear.
We
have
to
make
the
final
award
decisions
and
how
exactly
we'd
work
through
that
is.
You
know
there's
some
detail
to
be
worked
out,
but
at
least
for
me
I
will
say
you
know
and
I'm
open
to
being
persuaded
otherwise,
but
this
really
is
meant
to
focus
on
those
nonprofits
serving
those
most
in
need.
Financially
and
yes,
that's
where
I
would
start-
and
I
think
hopefully
that
can
give
a
little
structure
to
the
conference.
H
Okay,
thank
you
well,
there's
no
doubt
there's
need
so,
and
we
can
work
out
the
details,
which
will
be
interesting,
it'll
be
good.
Thank
you
thanks.
Mr.
B
We
we
had
a
lengthy
discussion
on
that
during
the
work
session.
I
believe-
and
we
found
out
that
you
know
there
was.
There-
was
a
an
issue
with
funding
the
services
and
being
able
to
properly
deliver
the
services,
and
one
of
the
reasons
was
the
ability
of
for
frontline
human
services
nonprofits
to
to
retain
and
to
properly
pay
their
employees.
That
doesn't
mean
that
we
assume,
just
by
doing
doing
a
move
now
and
supporting
them
in
a
in
a
critical
transition
period
right
after
we
as
we
transition
out
of
the
pandemic.
B
Hopefully
another
word
we're
not
doing
we're
not
making
a
long-term
statement.
I
don't
understand
that,
like
we
are
making
a
long-term
statement
that
we
will,
you
know,
assume
responsibility
on
how
they
pay
their
personnel.
We're
just
recognized
the
fact
that
they
have
been
that
this
has
been
have
been
very
tough
times
for
them
as
well,
and
we
are
just
helping
them
and
we're
helping
specifically
these
front-line
human
services,
providing
non-profits
happy
to
to
discuss
that
further.
I
think
this
is
solvable.
A
Yeah
I
appreciate
that
I
can
share
very
much
from
experience
having
done
budgets
year
over
year
that
when
we
meet
ongoing
needs
like
personnel
with
one-time
money,
I
can
guarantee
you
we're
going
to
get
a
lot
of
folks
showing
up
pretty
devastated.
That
they've
been
quote,
unquote
cut
from
the
manager's
budget
when
he
proposes
fiscal
24..
That
is
the.
That
is
what
I
am
most
concerned.
That
is.
B
That
is
correct,
but
we
talked
during
the
work
session
whether
we
should
adopt
a
general.
We
should
you
know,
refine
our
policy
and
revisit
whether
whether
and
what
kind
of
cost
of
living
increase
adjustments
we
should
be,
including
in
our
contracts.
This
is
the
actual.
That's.
A
Correct
mr
carantonis-
and
I
should
note
too,
that
that
work
is
very
much
underway.
We
have
a
sort
of
a
whole
spectrum
of
different
types
of
contracts
and
engagement
with
our
nonprofit.
Some
of
them
hold
different
types
of
contracts
with
the
board
generally,
the
ones
that
are
competitively
awarded
have
opportunities
for
cpi,
escalators
or
opportunities
to
renegotiate
their
contracts.
A
B
Yeah
well,
thank
you.
This
is
this
is
good
for
further
discussion,
but
for
for
this
here
I
see
that
as
a
straightforward,
disc,
straight
forward
appropriation
that
recognizes
a
need.
That
is
really
that
emerged
in
this
year
and
under
this
service.
A
Yeah,
that's
right,
and
I
really
appreciate
mr
differentiates
effort
to
kind
of
create
a
fund
for
that,
rather
than
just
automatically
giving
it
to
those
who
have
been
awarded
funds
by
the
county
board
in
the
past,
because
that
is
a
way
to
sort
of
pile
on
and
perpetuate,
maybe
exercises
of
discretion
that
have
sometimes
left
out
smaller
or
more
grassroots
non-profits,
a
nonprofits
all
right.
So,
mr
dorsey,
I
think
you
have
a
motion
for
us
right.
Thank.
C
You,
madam
amendment,
yeah.
I
would
like
to
move
that
we
amend
this
very
robust
and
well
put
together
chairs
mark
to
include
an
allocation
for
the
county.
Auditor
county
auditor
has
requested
two
additional
ftes
in
fy
23
to
fund
a
deputy
director
level
and
a
senior
auditor
position
to
build
that
office.
I
propose
that
we
fund
those
ftes,
but
for
half
a
year
allowing
the
auditor
to
fill
the
positions
on
january
1.
C
That
would
have
a
budgetary
impact
of
a
hundred
and
fifty
three
thousand
two
hundred
dollars,
which
I
propose
that
we
that
we
fund
with
ongoing
revenues
and
in
order
to
have
an
offset
since
we
don't
have
any
ongoing
revenues
available
to
have
the
bosman
center
librarian,
which
is
currently
funded
for
a
full
year,
reduced
to
a
half
year.
And
that
is
not
to
diminish
the
level
of
service.
C
C
That
is
likely
going
to
be
something
they'll
want
to
avail
themselves
of,
and
the
ordinance
also
requires,
or
or
portends
that
they
would
engage
in
other
activities
to
produce
reports
and
interface
with
the
community,
none
of
which
have
a
budget
allocation
attached
to
them.
So
to
offset
the
elimination
of
the
fte.
C
I
would
also
propose,
with
this
amendment,
that
we
provide
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
one-time
funding
to
allow
the
cb
cob
to
retain
counsel
and
pursue
other
non-personnel
expenses.
Second,.
A
Thank
you
so
much.
I
am
actually
going
to
accept
that
as
a
friendly
amendment.
Unless
I
hear
any
desire
for
a
discussion
or
call
for
vote
on
it,
no
okay.
A
E
So
it's
I
fully
support
increasing
the
capacity
of
the
auditor's
office.
I'm
mindful
that
there's
a
lot
of
parts
to
this
that
are
probably
ongoing.
It's
not
it!
The
the
question
is
a
little
bit.
I
know
that
you
mentioned
that
there'd
be
some
benefits
of
training,
two
people
at
one
time
and
also
there's
been
a
desire
for
someone
senior
enough
to
take
on
additional
audit
work.
E
I
never
feel
the
distance
between
us
and
the
district
of
columbia's
that
they're,
adding
10
employees
sometimes
like
to
do
something,
and
I'm
like
two
ftes
seems
like
huge
to
me
and
it's
the
it's
in
the
comparison,
and
so
I
didn't
know
if
you
had
any
thoughts
about
what
led
to
two
instead
of
one
my
my
work.
Experience
has
always
been
you
get
one
and
it's
working
perfectly
and
then
maybe
you
can
ask
for
a
second,
and
so
I
don't
know
if
you
have
thoughts
on
that.
C
C
2015.,
so
it
it
has
not
been
able
to
grow
at
all,
and
we
certainly
know
that
over
the
years,
the
level
of
productivity
that
you
get
from
one
employee,
managing
an
office
and
producing
audits
is
limited.
So
we
have
an
audit
work
plan
that
we
incrementally
make
progress
in,
but
one
of
the
great
value
adds
that
I
think
our
auditor
has
brought
not
just
the
completion
of
original
audits
but
the
follow-up
to
completed
audits
so
that
we're
kept
aware
of
how
the
organization
is
responding
to
agreed-upon
recommendations.
C
So,
given
all
of
that,
without
adding
capacity
we're
going
to
continue
at
the
pace
we
are,
and
this
proposal
is
to
try
and
increase
the
level
of
productivity
and
then
allow
the
auditor
to
be
able
to
to
train
multiple
people
at
once,
so
that
if
we
decided
next
year
to
increase
it
again
by
one,
we
we
don't
have
that
inefficient,
onboarding
of
of
new
personnel.
That's
the
rationale
great.
B
I
would
I
would
add
to
this,
so
we
have
seen
the
the
solo
flight
of
the
auditor's
office
for
so
many
years
has
produced
some
very
good
results,
but
on
the
other
side
it
has,
you
know
it
shows
diminishing
returns,
because
a
lot
of
the
work
is
piling
up.
B
It's
difficult
to
go
through
through
the
through
the
work
plan
and
new
audits
are
very
difficult
to
to
add
to
the
to
the
plan
and,
at
the
same
time,
the
level
of
insight,
the
understanding
of
the
management
and
the
risk
parameters
of
our
entire
organization
grows,
and
I
believe
that
we
are
there
to
be
able
to
absorb
two
positions
and
they
will
have
a
lot
of
work.
B
The
work
is
already
cut
out
for
them
in
in
in
no
uncertain
terms,
so
one
of
the
biggest
endeavors
is
this
notion
of
risk
assessment
for
for
our
for
most
of
our
governments.
I
think
that
this
is
definitely
not
the
work
that
one
person
can
do.
This
is
already
very
difficult
to
do
with
two
people,
and
I
do
believe
that,
with
the
increment
of
the
office
to
three,
we
will
have
the
appropriate
capacity
to
do
that.
B
Our
our
mr
dr
horton
has
given
us
some
comparables
and
some
you
know
best
management
practices,
recommendation
from
across
the
nations
for
for
communities
our
size
for
communities
with
the
budget
and
the
complexity
of
governance
that
is
comparable
to
ours,
and
we
have
seen
that
normally,
these
offices
are
even
a
little
bit
better
staffed
than
what
we
are
proposing
today.
B
So
I
do
think
that
it
is
a
it's
the
appropriate
pace
of
increment,
of
of
incremental
adjustment
to
to
to
add
the
two
positions
right
now:
the
two
half
positions,
because
this
is
about
the
you
know-
half
of
the
year.
E
Thank
you
both
just
so
that
you
to
both
know
this
just
for
the
context.
We
also
have
the
internal
auditor
who
I've
had
very
short
meetings
with,
but
I
have
tremendous
regard
for
the
person
who's
doing
it.
So
it's
not
just
that,
I'm
against
the
function.
You
know
I
just
and
I
I
think
it's
the
full
intention
to
continue
that
in
addition,
which
does
slightly
different
work
than
than
dr
horton.
So
thanks
very
much
for
humoring
me
with
a
question.
B
Absolutely
the
the
our
our
auditor,
dr
corden,
does
a
different
different
work
than
the
dmf,
the
dmf
auditors.
He
is
basically
our
best
management
consultant,
and
this
is
an
incredible
resource
that,
because
of
the
you
know,
this
difficulty
to
deliver
of
because
of
understaffing.
In
this
case
and
under
resourcing
we
haven't
had
the
opportunity
to
to
you,
know
to
have
the
full
potential
and
use
it.
We
as
a
board
on
our
side
of
of
the
government.
A
Thank
you,
okay,
so
that
has
been
incorporated
into
the
main
motion.
Are
there
other
amendments
to
the
mark.
E
H
A
H
A
But
I
think
I
need
I
that's,
unfortunately
not
a
friendly
amendment,
so
I
think
we're
going
to
take
a
vote
on
that.
Oh
yeah,
so
ms
garvey's
move,
do
we
have
a
second.
H
H
I
get
a
second
thank
you.
The
capital
area
food
bike
has
has
come
to
us,
I'm
sorry,
I
didn't
realize
this
was
controversial.
Somehow
I
missed
that
in
all
of
the
things
I
believe,
every
jurisdiction
in
the
region
is
putting
the
money
in
for
the
capital
area,
food
bank
no
they're,
not
all
right.
They.
H
Me
all
right
all
right
that
that
is
my
understanding
and
they
contribute
quite
a
bit
here.
It's
one-time
money.
We
have
one-time
money,
it's
it's
an
important
service,
the
capital
area,
food
bank
serves
the
whole
region
and
serves
arlington,
and
we
would
be
putting
in
less
than
what
they've
represented
other
jurisdictions
are
putting
in.
So
there
we
are,
and
I'm
sorry
if
I'm
misinformed,
because
I
seem
to
be,
but
I
will
hold
the
motion.
I
still
would
like
to
make
this.
A
A
G
H
C
I
would
say
ms
garvey
you're,
not
I
wouldn't
describe
it
as
misinformed,
just
not
maybe
lately
informed
so
I'm
doing
some
due
diligence
talking
with
some
folks
just
leading
up
to
coming
in
here
this
afternoon,
and
you
know
it
appears
that
when
attestations
were
made
about
what
organizations
were
funding
the
lorton
facility,
the
degree
of
certainty
or
or
confidence
that
was
attached
to
those
funding
levels
is
not
as
clear,
and
so
there
are
a
number
of
jurisdictions
couple
of
jurisdictions
in
the
region,
at
least
that
have
not
made
commitments
this
year
and
are
still
weighing
whether
or
not
to
do
so,
and
I
think,
as
you
and
I
were
on
a
meeting
together
with
the
capital
area
food
bank,
I
would
be
more
comfortable
considering
that
request,
knowing
a
little
bit
more
as
to
that
that
there
will
be
full
regional
support
because,
as
we
hit,
we
learn
from
that
study.
C
It
is,
it
is
a
more
vital
human
service
organization
for
other
jurisdictions
in
the
region.
It
does
provide
a
complimentary
role
for
some
very
important
arlington
efforts,
ones
that
I
find
incredibly
worthy,
but
if,
if
for
whatever
reason,
some
of
the
organizations
for
whom
it
is
more
central
are
not
contributing.
I
think
that
just
merits
further
due
diligence
on
our
part
to
figure
out
why
we
can
always
fund
this
later.
If
we
find
that
the
need
does
exist
and
is
legitimate,
so
I
don't
think
we're
foreclosing
an
opportunity.
C
And
lastly,
as
you
may
recall,
during
our
conversation,
they
did
express
some
interest
in
acceding
to
my
request,
to
have
more
of
an
arlington
role
in
the
governance
of
the
food
bank.
If
we
were
going
to
become
a
capital
contributor-
and
I
would
love
to
hear
how
they
plan
to
to
implement
that
request
as
well.
H
Thank
you.
So
I
have
a
question
for
whomever's
best
to
answer
it,
so
you
say
we
can
always
fund
it.
Should
we
put
money
aside
as
a
contingency
to
fund
it
if
we
decide
that
we
do
so
that
we
know
that
it's
there
is
that
something
that
would
be
a
good
idea.
In
other
words,
we
don't
right
now
say
it's
good.
A
D
You
could
entertain
it
during
the
cip
and
also
to
the
extent
that
there
are
dollars
that
are
unallocated
that
you
put
in
the
contingent
more
broadly
for
anything
else,
you
could
draw
on
that.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you,
mr
defranti.
E
I
I
I
had
a
number
of
conversations
and
I
was
hesitant
with
the
full
amount
because
of
some
you
know,
sort
of
just
you
know
the
scale
of
it
and
I
and
so
they're,
I
believe
they're,
nine
or
ten
agencies
they're
called
in
the
feeding
america
world,
the
food
bank
world
that
we
provide
food
to,
but
the
one
of
them
is
our
lady
queen
of
peace
or
others,
that
for
it's
a
significant
amount
of
food,
and
so
in
the
course
at
least
of
my
conversations
with
the
capital
food
bank
representative.
E
E
For
me.
I
had
sort
of
landed
on
thinking,
based
on
the
conversations
and
listening
that,
maybe
what
if
we
went
halfway
towards
that
goal
on
tuesday,
that's
for
food
for
discussion
and
then
we
would
have
additional
data
and
information
as
we
got
closer
to
the
cip
or
next
year.
I
do
the
only
the
one
thing
I
can
say
is:
I'm
pretty
confident
based
on
at
least
my
conversations
that
the
fundraising
is
ongoing.
A
So
I
think
we'll
have
a
little
more
discussion
because
mr
karen
tonight
wants
to
get
and
then,
mr
maybe
you
could
think
about
whether
you
wanted
to
make
that
as
a
substitute
motion.
Mr
karentonis.
B
I
was
very
positive
on
this
because
I
had
this
conversations
and
I
saw
that
in
in
the
context
of
the
of
the
help
that
the
this
foot
bank
has
provided
has
been
providing
to
the
our
lady
queen
and
fees
recipients,
for
quite
quite
a
while
by
the
way.
B
Well,
it
seems
to
be
not
fully
baked,
though
so
we
don't
really
know
what
this
was
really
contingent
on
the
significant
higher
contributions
of
other
jurisdictions,
especially
of
prince
williams,
county-
and
I
I
you
know-
I'm
I'm
a
little
bit
surprised
that
this
is
not
you
know.
These
are
not
facts.
These
are
not
established
in
fact,
so
I
I
would
support
to
to
postpone
this
decision
and
save
this
money
in
in
a
contingency
until
we
know
better,
and
we
can
really
decide
that.
H
D
A
A
D
Yes,
1.8
million
dollars
that
you
could
say
that
that
set
aside,
I
think,
is
notionally
in
the
in
the
chairs
mark
for
acquisition
of
property
that
you
could
say
this
also
could
be
an
eligible
expense
for
that
that'd
be
one
way
to
deal
with
it.
H
A
Changed
since
the
last
time,
just
as
you're
wrapping
up,
I
just
wanted
to
add
two
thoughts.
The
first
is
that
we
have
certainly
supported
the
capital
area,
food
bank
and
their
request
at
the
state
level.
As
mr
dorsey
and
I
lobbied
some
of
the
budget
conferees
in
richmond,
we
supported
that
request
explicitly.
I
also
recently
appended
our
name
to
a
letter
of
support
for
a
congressional
appropriation
as
well,
more
saliently.
I
just
wanted
to
note
our
food
bank.
A
The
arlington
food
assistance
center,
has
undergone
a
significant
renovation
to
expand
their
operation.
The
county
did
not
contribute
to
that.
We
have
a
number
of
nonprofits
homegrown
nonprofits
that
serve
exclusively
arlingtonians
throughout
arlington,
who
are
engaged
in
capital
campaigns,
efforts
to
grow
their
footprint
or
otherwise
expand.
I
think
that
would
really
welcome
a
significant
investment
from
the
county
of
you
know
even
some
of
this
magnitude,
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
be
very
mindful
of
precedent
that
we
are
creating.
H
H
They're
right
right,
I
I
just
see
this
is
a
one-time
one-time
done
and
also
that
it
does
provide
support
for
electronics.
But
I
am
quite
fine
putting
it
in
the
assuming
that
in
the
land
acquisition
if
it
works
there,
that
would
make
it
easier
and
then
we'll
just
take
it
off
the
table
for
now,
and
you
could,
if
you
want
to
make
your
substitute,
I
would
like
to
be
able
to
do
the
complete
amount,
if
we're
going
to
do
it
or
at
least
have
that
available
for
when
it
is.
H
I
forget
who
said
the
completely
baked
we're
into
their
our
food,
our
food
metaphors
that
then
we
have
the
money
available
for
them.
A
Okay,
I
think
that's
fine
yeah,
so
why
don't
we?
If
that's
all
right
we'll
have
you
withdraw
that
motion
and
then
we
right
now
have
some
money
allocated
to
a
contingent,
but
our
final
item
of
the
day
is
to
allocate
that
to
land
acquisition.
Instead
at
least
that's
going
to
be
my
proposal
so
knowing
that
that
would
be
a
a
reasonable
connection.
A
Great
thank
you
so
much.
Mr
differentiated
did
you
want
to
comment
in
closing.
E
Or
make
another
mission
just
thank
you
for
the
for
surfacing
that
point
with
respect
to
capital
and
and
the
it
would
be
contingent
contingency,
and
there
may
be
some
details
for
what
our
next
steps
are.
E
I
got
background
this
morning,
so
thanks
very
much
madam
chair
and
I
have
one
amendment
if
you're
ready.
Yes,
please
so
I
we've
had
discussion
regarding
the
circuit
court's
request
for
the
clerk
of
the
court,
but
yes,
the
clerk
of
the
court.
E
Excuse
me,
his
presentation
was
the
circuit
court
clerk,
and
so
we
had
discussion
regarding
one
the
increase
in
the
civil
filings
and
one
full-time
equivalent,
and
I'm
mindful
I've
looked
for
pay
fors,
but
in
this
case
dmf
fairly
has
said,
those
pay
fors
are
not
not
appropriate
in
their
analysis,
which
is
fine.
So
I
would
like
to
move
that
we
put
forward
75
000
in
one
time
funding
and
for
a
full-time
equivalent,
and
I'm
mindful
that
the
out
year
budget
is
not
there
for
this.
E
I
know
that
colleagues
and
dmf
feel
very
strongly
on
that.
I
would
offer
the
the
additional
one-time
funding
that
we
have
and
then
soon
the
the
proceeds
from
the
bosman
as
indication
that
this
is
this
is
fiscally
restrained
and
fiscally
in
my
view
responsible,
but
I
know
others
feel
differently.
So
that's
my
motion.
A
On
the
slide,
the
spreadsheet
there.
Thank
you,
mr
karen
tonis.
B
I
can
tell
you
that,
for
me
this,
this
is
a
very
clear
moment
where
the
the
case
for
me
is
compelling.
This
is
for
the
land
records
office.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
and
this
is
a
place
where
the
workload
has
been
extreme.
B
Over
the
last
two
to
three
years,
I've
have
have
been
hearing
how
you
know
how
high
the
burnout
risk
there
is
for
quite
a
while.
This
is
a
very
productive
place,
and
this
is
a
place
where
this
is
a
one
one
of
the
parts
of
our
general.
You
know
arlington
county
structure,
that
we
really
want
to
be
certain
that
it
works
very
well
and
that
it
serves
the
citizens
to
the
best
of
our
ability.
B
I
I
think
that
this
is
a
a
critical
appropriation
to
keep
this
office
going,
especially
when
the
clerk
of
the
court,
who
is
who
requested
that
amount
for
this
fte,
has
assured
us
that
in
future
years
he
can
manage,
with
with
his
budget,
to
try
to
fund
this
this
fte
going
onwards
from
next
year,
and
I
think
we
can
trust
that
this
will
be
the
case
as
it
has
been
until
now.
So
this
is
why
I
support
this
motion
at
this
point.
A
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
we'll
take
a
vote
on
the
motion.
I
absolutely
am
persuaded
of
the
the
necessity
of
the
position.
I
know
we
have
the
clerk
of
the
court
here.
I
think
it
is
a
mistake
to
fund
positions
with
one-time
money.
I
think
that
is
not
responsible
budgeting.
I
think
it
sends
a
signal
to
department
heads
advocates
other
constitutionals
that
we
can
magic
ongoing
costs
out
of
one-time
money.
A
There
are
a
number
of
requests
for
personnel
that
we
said
no
to
because
we
didn't
have
the
ongoing
money
and
I
am
with
great
disappointment
not
going
to
support
the
motion
as
a
statement
of
my
real
concern
about
the
the
irresponsibility
of
creating
something
as
important
as
an
as
a
as
a
person.
Someone
you're
asking
to
come.
Take
a
job
potentially
leave
a
job
that
they
have
make
a
future
with
arlington
county
with
without
a
plan
to
pay
for
them
on
an
ongoing
basis.
G
A
That
wants
to
steal
well
clear
of
this
conversation
all
right.
I
think
we
are
ready
and
we'll
call
for
a
vote
all
those
in
favor
of
mr
differenti's
motion,
please
say:
aye
aye
opposed
no
okay
that
passes
four
to
one.
Do
we
have
any
other
amendments
proposed
to
the
mark.
E
It's
not
an
amendment
and
I
won't
go
on,
but
I
just
I
think
that,
having
remembered
this
work
session
so
well
from
last
year,
I
think
that
three
thoughts
first,
a
immense
thank
you
to
you
for
the
leadership
and
confidence
can.
A
Close
before
it
votes,
I
wasn't
gonna
cut
them
off,
always
saying
nice
things,
but
fine.
G
All
right,
so
the
the
main
mark
has
been
amended
all
those
in
favor
of
the
markup
as
amended.
Please
say:
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay
that
passes
unanimously
back
to
mr
different.
E
Okay,
so
I
hope
I
didn't
jump
the
line
there,
but
I
I
wanted
to
to
two
different
thoughts.
One
is
just
a
huge
thank
you,
the
quantity
of
work
in
addressing
the
compensation
issues
that
you
did.
I
really
appreciate
and
your
comment
that
it's
not
just
about
placards.
E
E
There
are
lots
of
things
we
are
doing
in
this
in
this
budget,
but
we
are
focusing
on
compensation
and,
let's
not
lose
we're
not
perfect,
but
the
decision
on
the
motor
vehicle
fees
and
then
the
assessment,
that's
the
sort
of
restraint
fiscally
that
I
think,
is
really
appropriate.
Seeing
your
your
bill
for
your
car
go
up
six
hundred
dollars,
you
know
it's
the
right
call,
and
so
I
hope
that
in
the
as
people
write,
the
story
of
this
budget
they'll
remember
that
component
of
it.
E
C
You,
madam
chair,
I
just
didn't-
want
us,
didn't
speak
to
a
lot
of
the
elements
that
included
in
your
mark,
and
I
did
want
to
touch
just
overall
to
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you've
done,
and
you
know
the
compensation
increases,
and
I
even
hesitate
to
call
them
that,
because
you
know
this
is
not
about
some
transactional
thing.
C
This
is
really
about
the
ability
of
people
who
work
in
public
service
and
perform
work
for
our
county
to
be
able
to
themselves
live
and
have
families,
and
you
know,
actively
participate
in
in
the
society
and
over
the
course
of
the
last
couple
of
years.
Because
of
pandemic
era,
constraints,
we've
had
to
ask
them
to
sacrifice
what
have
been
fairly
predictable
growth
and
living
standards
to
very
at
least
account
for
their
market
worth
and
cost
of
living
and
those
were
put
on
hold.
C
I
did
want
to
take
note,
because
I
know
that
the
story
at
the
end
of
the
day
will
look
at
some
of
the
percentages
that
are
attached
to
the
increase
with
certain
certain
employee
groups,
and
you
know
as
much
as
I
would
love
to
think
that
my
words
would
have
an
impact.
I
know
they
won't,
but
I'll
feel
better
for
having
said
it,
you
know
when
people
look
at
the
overall
increase
in
what
is
being
provided
for
members
of
police.
I
hope
folks
understand
a
couple
of
things.
C
C
It
means
that
simply
this
is
a
reflection
of
the
importance
of
public
safety
to
all
of
us
and
that
we're
experiencing
labor
market
dynamics,
the
likes
of
which
you
don't
typically
see,
and
the
amount
of
churn
that's
going
on
in
the
in
the
profession
and
the
fact
that
they're
too
few
workers
for
the
jobs
that
we
have
even
in
a
department
like
ours,
which
is
leaner
than
most
in
the
region
on
an
officer
per
capita
basis.
It
means
that
we
have
to
invest
more,
and
hopefully
people
recognize
that
does
not
prioritize
those
workers
over
others.
C
Everyone
who
works
for
our
county
is
incredibly
important.
Sometimes
we
have
to
pay
extra
attention
to
areas
where
we
would
otherwise
be
falling
short
of
our
our
stated
goals.
So
for
for
that
you
know
I
am.
I
am
thrilled
that
we're
able
to
do
this,
I'm
thrilled
that
we
had
the
resources
to
address
those
needs.
I
hope
they
produce
the
results
in
in
reducing
some
of
the
pressures
that
we've
had
in
that
area
and
yeah
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.
H
Ms
garvey
yeah,
no
just
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Everybody
all
the
way
around
this
is
felt
like
such
an
odd
budget.
To
me
I
mean
it
even
feels
odder
than
the
last
two,
for
whatever
reason
I
I
don't
know
why,
but
thank
you,
I
think
the
whole.
I
too
am
really
delighted
that
we're
able
to
do
more
for
our
employees
and
thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
working
that
out.
I
think
it's
probably
not
the
end.
H
I
don't
think
it's
one
and
done,
I
think,
we're
probably
on
a
neutral,
so
I
don't
anticipate
us
like
just
like
being
done
now
and
that
next
year
it's
gonna
be
easy
and
we're
not
gonna
have
to
worry
about
compensation
again.
I
think
that's
kind
of
where
we
are
looking
at
trends
with
inflation,
which
we're
very
aware
of.
I
think
it's
not
going
to
be
so
easy,
but
thank
you
for
getting
us
through
this
one.
This
was
a
very
as
I
say,
this
is
just
a
really
interesting
strange
budget.
H
B
I
will
keep
the
big
thank
yous
for
for
next
time,
but
something
I
want
to
anticipate
to
to
front
load
now.
So
thank
you
to
the
staff
for
for
an
incredible
amount
of
work
and
chair
for
these
two
three
major
priorities
that
you
worked
on,
the
environmental.
B
You
know
leadership
that
is
now
you
know
imprinted
in
this
budget
in
this
mark
and
the
housing,
the
improvement
and
the
improvement,
the
and
the
of
our
housing
of
the
response
to
a
housing
crisis
and
for
the
compensation,
like
everybody
else
said.
I
am
particularly
thankful
for
your
work
on
managing
to
balance.
B
Well,
the
compensation
increase
that
we
owed
to
our
general
employees
with
the
emergency
increase
that
that
results
from
the
incredible
and
unique
circumstances
that
we
have
to
face
in
the
in
the
labor
market
for
our
public
safety
employees.
B
I
think
this
is
a
good
balance
and
it's
a
good
outcome,
and
I
hope-
and
I
had
the
opportunity
to
talk
to
many
of
our
public
safety
employees
and
to
many
of
our
general
employees.
B
I
hope
that
this
is
going
to
send
these
two
signals
a
yes,
we
care,
we
care
a
lot
about
the
level,
the
quality
of
compensation,
and
we
want
to
always
support
good
work
with
the
best
salaries
and
benefits
we
can.
And
the
second
message
is:
we
appreciate
we
appreciate
their
work,
especially
during
very
very
hard
years.
B
The
last
two
to
three
years
have
been
especially
hard
because,
as
mr
dorsey
correctly
noted,
we
have
been
very
frugal
and
very
careful
and
very
risk
very
risk
averse
during
this
during
these
past
years
and
with
good
reason,
and
now
we
have
to
correct-
and
this
is
the
moment
where
we
do
this-
so
thank
you
for
all
this.
A
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
carontonis,
all
right
I'll!
Let
you
have
the
final
word.
I
appreciate
you
all
so
much.
I'm
really
glad
I
think
we're
heading
into
tuesday
on
strong
footing
with
concurrence
on
this
markup,
and
we
will
have
some
good
conversation
about
guidance
to
accompany
this
budget,
as
well
as
other
concluding
thoughts
on
tuesday.
In
the
meantime,
we
will
see
everybody
in
this
boardroom
8
30
a.m.
On
saturday
for
our
regular
meeting.
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
adjourned.
