Good
afternoon
and
thank
you
for
having
us
here
today
today,
I'm
joined
with
Becky
Schmidt
at
the
table,
she's
our
new
departmental
finance
officer.
Today's
her
birthday
also
I
think
it's
a
finance
officer.
This
is
a
fun
way
for
her
to
celebrate
her
birthday.
Most
other
people
might
not
Jennifer
if
you're
ready
our
Deputy
Director
Kurt
Lewis
our
parks
and
natural
resources.
Division
chief
Lisa
Crandall
are
planning
on
parkland
development
division,
chief
Cheryl
Johnson,
our
Community
Recreation
Division
Chief
and
Peter
Lusk,
our
athletics
and
facilities
services,
division
chief.
C
So
before
we
get
into
the
details
of
the
budget,
I
wanted
to
give
you
an
overview
of
the
department,
the
places
and
the
spaces
that
we
manage,
and
the
programs
that
we
deliver
and
the
people
that
we
support.
2017
was
a
very
busy
year
in
parks.
The
amount
of
engagement
that
occurred
was
tremendous.
As
you
know,
we
were
updating
our
public
spaces
master
plan.
C
We
had
loved
a
run,
we
had
long
bridge,
we
discussed
lights,
we
discussed
natural
areas,
we
discussed
trees,
we
coined
the
term
casual
use,
all
the
while
we
were
providing
programs
for
our
tots
to
our
seniors.
We
were
cleaning
caring
for
our
parks
from
drop
in
pickleball
to
campfires
to
robust
summer
camp
programs.
It's
been
a
very
busy
year.
C
It
also
hasn't
been
an
easy
year;
either
we
are
confined
but
confined
by
the
spaces
by
the
space
we
have
and
as
a
result,
we
continue
to
strive
to
find
that
balance
between
all
the
competing
needs
and
desires,
and
that
balance
is
also
a
balancing
of
our
resources
and
the
core
of
those
resources.
Our
operating
budget,
which
I
look
forward
to
discussing
with
you
here
today
so
before
we
get
into
that,
though
I
just
want
to
just
do
a
quick
delve
into
the
high
level
sort
of
what
we
do.
C
There
is
great
access
to
our
144
parks
and
our
13
community
centers.
In
fact,
87%
of
Arlington's
land
is
within
one
my
love
a
park.
We
have
187
summer
camps,
we
had
to
25,000
unique
program
participants
with
each
person
taking
an
average
of
about
2.4
activities
per
year,
so
that's
almost
62,000
enrollments
in
one
year,
and
in
that
we
had
700
and
753
Nature
Center
programs
for
the
our
urban
forests.
As
you
know,
our
tree
canopy
study
was
recently
released,
showing
canopy
tree
canopy
growing
up
1%.
From
the
last
study
at
41%.
C
We
also
had
a
net
gain
of
312
trees.
This
is
all
in
FY,
17
numbers
and
also
in
FY
17.
We
actively
managed
160
acres
of
invasive
plants
removals
and
we
also
kept
another
51
at
a
maintenance
level
for
projects.
As
you
know,
we
we
had
Longbridge
aquatics
Fitness,
which
was
the
county's
first
design-build
contract,
which
was
awarded
November
and
also
we
had
a
level
run
project
where
the
department
led
the
engagement
process.
We
had
in
FY
17
seven
complete
projects,
capital
projects.
C
We
have
four
that
we
have
completed
in
FY
18
and
we've
got
four
more
to
complete
by
the
end
of
fiscal
year,
and
we
can't
forget
demand
because
we
talk
about
demand
a
lot.
We
saw
an
increase
of
about
eight
point:
five
percent
in
our
enjoy
classes
from
FY
16
to
17.
We
do
a
scape
program
at
TJ,
a
very
popular
one
of
from
October
to
March,
with
9500
participants
in
that
over
about
20
sessions.
C
It's
a
great
cost
friendly
way
for
families
to
enjoy
Saturday
night,
and
we
also
have
a
500-person
wait
list
for
our
community
garden
plots.
This
spring
will
be
adding.
We
have
about
300
plots
total
this
spring,
we'll
be
adding
another
30
plots
with
the
open
expansion
of
the
lang,
Street
community
garden,
and
we
serve
the
community
at
large.
We
have
23%
more
residents
registered
from
FY
16
to
17.
We
have
5%
more
participation
in
the
DP
run
for
youth
participation,
the
DPR
run
leagues
from
7
16
to
17.
C
155,000
participants
in
our
55
plus
programs.
This
includes
fitness
travel
and
programs
like
our
congregate
meal,
with
TJ
being
our
most
popular
Center,
making
up
almost
a
third
of
those
attendees.
Those
are
swipes
and
participant
patients.
Obviously
it's
not
unique
so
and
then
we
also
have
the
fee
reductions
we'll
be
getting
into
more
later
so
getting
into
our
budget.
Here's
the
summary
of
our
changes,
our
expense
budget,
is
that
42
million
increased
1%
from
FY
18.
C
C
Neutral
registration,
for
this
actually
happened
a
couple
weeks
ago
for
the
fall
2018
and
all
the
sessions
are
fully
booked
fully,
are
full,
except
for
lubber
run,
which
is
moving
to
Langston
Brown
as
a
part
of
the
project,
and
we
just
think
we
need
to
market
that
a
little
more
in
the
past
we
have
not
ever.
We
have
not
had
full
member
elana
at
these
sites.
We
think
this
change
is
really
a
benefit
for
people
who
are
participating.
You'll
also
see
that
we
have
a
staff
decrease
of
ten
point
nine
three.
C
This
is
a
combination
of
what
we'll
discuss
later
as
the
reductions
as
a
result
of
our
fee
reduction.
But
then
we
also
have
an
increase
of
two
point:
seven
one
as
a
result
of
the
preschool
program
of
FTS
again,
which
is
net
tax
support
neutral,
and
then
the
remaining
changes
are
based
on
adjustments
to
our
fee
based
programs.
C
We
want
to
pause
for
a
second
and
just
talk
about
our
revenue,
as
you
specifically
I'm
gonna
star
a
little
backwards
on
here.
Just
to
talk
about
that,
the
part
you
might
have
seen
that
the
Dare
is
a
decrease
in
our
revenue
budget
from
1%
from
the
last
fiscal
year,
and
that's
mainly
because
of
an
adjustment
based
on
fee
reduction
budget
line
to
align
more
closely
with
the
actual
reductions.
C
It's
demonstrated
by
this
chart
that
you
can
see
on
fee
reductions
in
FY
15.
The
county
took
a
first
step
to
account
for
the
fee
reductions
separate
from
the
program
revenue
by
establishing
a
budget
of
just
one
over
150,000
dollars.
This
was
done
to
ensure
that
the
individual
programs
were
held
harmless
from
looking
like
they
had
to
generate
more
revenue
to
cover
fee
reduction
costs
because,
as
you
know,
we
try
to
make
all
programs
there's
no
barriers
short
program,
so
we
want
to
be
able
to
provide
fee
reductions.
C
However,
the
fee
reductions
can,
as
you
see,
are
continually
to
grow
and
to
be
utilized
at
a
much
higher
rate,
while
DPR
historically
has
been
able
to
cover
the
higher
fee
reductions
with
programs
that
had
over
performed
in
revenue.
This
is
not
a
sustainable
long
term
option,
as
DPR
continues
to
adjust
expense
budgets
appropriately
to
align
with
the
cost,
recovery
and
revenues
of
the
programs
that
we
provide.
C
The
FY
19
proposed
budget
includes
a
large
five
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
five
hundred
and
thirty
thirty
thousand
one-time
adjustment
to
address
this
issue
by
making
a
total
fee
reduction
budget
of
six
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars.
This
amount
has
been
added
to
the
county
managers
proposed
base
budget
as
a
contra
revenue
line
in
future
years.
Dpr
will
continue
to
adjust
the
budget
line
incrementally
as
needed
in
the
base
as
part
of
our
budget
changes.
C
Also,
we
are
as
we
are.
We
are
there's
the
introduction
of
a
credit
card,
convenience
e,
which
will
generate
an
estimated
100
and
sixty
thousand
dollars
this
shift.
This
shifts
the
burden
of
the
credit
card
fees
from
the
count
from
the
county's
general
operating
budget
to
the
individuals
who
choose
that
payment
method.
The
county
already
passes
along
the
credit
card
fee
to
customers
who
are
using
utility
payments
and
for
the
newly
launched
online
payment
option
for
the
building
permits.
C
Dpr
is
exploring
the
option
of
an
e-check
payment
to
be
available
on
as
an
online
payment
option,
with
no
fee
effective,
July
1st
as
well.
The
average
amount
that
a
household
would
pay
and
given
your
relate
to
this
fee
is
estimated
about
ten
to
eleven
dollars,
although
when
you
get
up
and
you
sort
of
cut
out
the
outliers,
because
there
are
some
who
use
a
lot
of
our
programs,
it's
really
more.
Like
five
to
six
dollars
per
year
beyond
that,
there's
no
significant
changes
to
our
programs
and
fees.
C
C
When
deciding
our
fee
reduction
package,
we
took
the
approach
to
find
efficiencies
on
how
we
deliver
our
services
and
programs
with
as
little
impact
the
general
public.
These
reduction
options
include
an
elimination
of
8.4
filled,
permanent
FTS
1.99
filled
temporary
FTEs
and
1.37
vacant.
Temporary
FTEs
there's
also
a
small
decrease
in
revenue
associated
with
these
reductions.
So
now
I'm
going
to
go
through
each
item.
C
First
is
the
elimination
of
the
Office
of
Community
Health
at
483
thousand
dollars.
That
includes
one
program
supervisor
three
programmers
and
a
little
bit
of
temporary
staff
support,
which
is
currently
vacant,
while
DPR
would
provide
fewer
opportunities
for
wellness
and
health
education.
This
is
primarily
done
by
the
specialty
visits
from
the
staff
to
other
DPR
programs
such
as
our
summer,
camp
senior,
centers
and
preschools
DPR
will
continue
to
integrate
wellness
and
health
content
in
these
existing
programs
by
using
what
we
have,
what
we
call
wellness
nutrition
and
physical
activity.
C
These
lending
kits
these
kits
enable
our
program
staff
to
provide
activities
without
the
direct
support
of
the
staff
from
the
Office
of
Community
Health.
We
have
a
pretty
robust
lending
program
that
goes
beyond
just
these
programs
to
also
include
other
parts,
other
things
in
the
arts
and
other
activities
as
well.
C
Training
for
volunteers
would
shift
from
in-person
to
online
format.
Administration
like
volunteer
registration
and
background
checks
would
shift
to
our
DPR
human
resources.
Staff
advertisements
will
shift
to
the
DPR
Public
Relation
staff.
General
management
tracking,
the
volunteers
will
be,
will
be
handled
by
our
divisions,
who
will
be
supporting
those
volunteers
in
the
work
they
do?
We
will
continue
to
promote
volunteer
opportunities
through
the
DPR
webpage,
volunteer,
arlington
and
other
venues,
and
we
will
continue
to
work
with
volunteer
arlington
to
cross-promote
events
and
other
activities.
C
C
Participation
participants
have
been
notified
by
the
program
assistant
that
the
program
has
been
included
as
a
budget
reduction
option
for
the
coming
fiscal
year,
and
the
program
assistant
is
sharing
information
about
other
types
of
youth
programs
that
they
can
participate
either
through
DPR
or
elsewhere
in
the
county.
Our
goal
for
FY
19
will
be
to
remove
the
boxing
ring
and
consider
adding
either
a
rubber
or
wooden
floor
and
keeping
those
heavy
bags
are
in
there
too.
So
we
can
allow
more
enjoy
Arlington
and
55
plus
classes
to
occur
in
the
space.
C
The
next
is
to
convert
the
program
part
the
program,
participation
for
transportation
services
to
contracts.
This
is
for
the
three
first
three
quarters
of
FY
19,
a
sixty
two
thousand
dollar
reduction
with
it
fully
realized
in
FY
29
mm.
That's
because
we're
going
to
keep
it
on
through
August,
so
that
we
can
consumer
camp
a
summer
camp
registration.
All
the
plans
for
summer
camp
have
already
happened.
C
We
had
a
great
registration
a
couple
weeks
ago.
This
includes
one
Program
Assistant,
a
half-time
current
position
for
a
bus
driver
and
a
point.
Ninety
nine
temporary
support
staff
who
do
are
also
drivers.
We
see
this
as
an
efficiency.
Dpr
will
still
transport
participants
to
their
programs.
The
main
users
are
the
senior
adult
travel
program
and
the
summer
camp
participants
and
then
some
special
events.
We
will
be
limiting
5
vehicles
from
the
fleet
and
the
associated
positions
who
drive
the
vehicles
and
manage
the
program.
C
C
Currently,
the
fees
were
chips
go
anywhere
between
$6
to
a
little
up
to
over
a
hundred,
and
these
fees
are
reflected
in
our
DP.
Our
fee
resolution
that
was
advertised
in
February,
the
senior
coach
bus
in
particular,
has
not
been
reliable
and
dpr
already
maintains
backup
contracts
to
ensure
that
the
coach
bus
is
available
when
the
dpr
coach
bus
is
out
of
service.
For
example,
in
fiscal
year
18
to
date,
year-to-date
dpr
has
had
contract
25
trips
dpr
already
uses
aps
buses
for
some
transportation
needs
and
will
continue
to
use
the
service
going
forward.
C
This
is
next
one
is
the
removal
of
two
large
vehicles
and
one
daily
used
vehicle
from
our
fleet,
which
is
a
tolls
of
just
over
fifty
thousand
dollars,
with
no
impact
FTEs.
So
there's
two
trucks
that
come
of
our
parks
and
natural
resources
unit,
a
dual
wheel,
truck
that
basically
relates
back
to
when
cultural
resources
was
still
in
our
department.
It
was
used
to
tow
their
stage.
C
We
continue
to
help
a
Dean
which
now
has
cultural
resources
a
couple
of
times
a
year,
but
we
recording
with
them
that
can
be
used,
that
they
can
use
contracts
to
tow
the
stage
as
they
need
it
because
of
the
type
of
vehicle
that
it
is.
It's
not
a
vehicle
that
we
can
really
use
in
our
daily
operations.
So
it's
not
heavily
used.
The
tanda
truck,
which
is
we
use
primarily
to
support
des
snow
removal,
will
also
be
removed.
C
We
will
continue
to
support
des
at
the
same
level
of
a
snow
removal
and
we're
working
des
just
to
use
one
of
their
vehicles
instead
beyond
snow.
Again,
this
vehicle
is
only
used,
maybe
ten
to
fifteen
times
a
year
for
hauling
dirt,
and
these
activities
can
be
taken
care
of
by
other,
using
a
contractor,
which
we
already
have
a
smaller
trucks
in
our
dpr
fleet
or
just
coordinate
with
us
to
use
their
vehicles.
So
we
think
we
can
do
it
and
the
last
one
is
the
daily
use
passenger
van
by
our
p
DD
division.
C
C
The
next
one
is
the
discontinued
of
the
July
4th
programming
at
$50,000
and
at
about
point
70
for
temporary
support.
Those
temporary
support
positions
are
vacant.
Currently,
Longbridge
will
continue
to
be
a
viewing
location
for
for
July
4th
and
we
as
a
result,
we've
also
retained
a
little
over
$13,000
in
the
funding
for
it
to
ensure
that
we
have
the
operating
budget
for
both
site
cleanup
and
Public
Safety
presence
during
the
just
general
July
4th
presence.
C
The
event
was
originally
developed
as
a
way
that
just
have
an
engaging
place
where
people
could
watch
the
fireworks,
but
also
as
a
way
to
protect
the
field
turf
when
they
were
there
kind
of
happened.
When
the
phase
1
of
long
bridge
was
open
and
around
in
July
this
past
July
about
15,000
people
attended.
C
So
again,
you
will
still
be
able
to
see
the
fireworks
from
long
bridge.
The
next
one
is
to
close
the
Carver
Center
for
daytime
drop
in
at
$41,000.
It's
about
one
temporary
ft,
which
is
currently
filled.
The
daytime
hours
are
from
9:00
a.m.
to
3:00
a.m.
would
be
eliminated
evening.
Hours
which
are
from
6:00
p.m.
to
9:00
p.m.
would
not
be
affected,
nor
would
the
weekend
afternoons
for
that
are
open
for
a
part
of
the
year.
C
The
reason
why
there
is
a
gap
between
3
&
6
is
you
recall
when
we
discontinued
the
after-school
program
that
was
held
run
by
parks.
We
closed
down
the
center
so
that
ApS
extended
day
would
have
an
area
that
they
could
expand
into
the
Arlington
View
seniors
social
club
is
the
only
group
using
the
space
on
a
regular
basis
during
the
day.
C
There
are
two
parts
of
this
Club
there's
the
plain
there's
the
card
playing
group
which
moved
over
to
Walter
Reed
over
a
year
ago
and
then
there's
a
social
group
of
up
to
10
people
that
meet
there
twice
per
month.
They
have
already
been
meeting
with
the
Walter
Reed
Center
manager
to
discuss
a
transition
over
to
Walter
Reed
for
July
1.
Beyond
that
we
have
very,
very
little
drop
in
at
that
site.
C
The
next
is
a
reduction
of
to
the
Northern
Virginia
Conservation
Trust,
but
just
up
the
budget
to
the
operating
only
is
thirty,
seven
thousand
twelve
verse,
thirty
seven
thousand
dollars
with
no
EFT
impact,
so
DPRs
MOA
with
NVC
t,
is
renewable
on
a
three-year
period
and
currently
good
through
September
2019
and
provides
funds
up,
125
$24,000
and
that's
split
between
65%
going
to
their
base
operating
and
35%.
Going
to
this
operation.
C
Open
space
preservation
fund
in
FY,
2018
and
VCT
has
84,000,
and
that
operating
and
thirty-nine
thousand
a
little
more
for
that
open
space
renovation
fund.
The
terms
in
MOA
will
reign
will
remain
in
effect,
allowing
NVC
t
to
request
they
operate
so
we're
suggesting
as
cutting
the
open
space
fund,
the
terms
of
the
MOA
will
remain,
in
effect,
allowing
NVC
t
to
request
the
open
space
preservation
funding
on
a
cumulative
basis
that
would
be
appropriate
for
uses
for
funds
to
be
identified
and
approved.
C
This
fund
is
established
as
port
the
fees
incurred
when
pursuing
conservation
easements.
However,
over
the
past
several
years
and
VCT
has
had,
has
had
few
applicable
expenses
in
the
open
space
preservation
category
about
three
thousand
dollars
or
less,
and
they
have
not
had
a
conservation
easement
in
arlington
since
2008,
so
if
they
were
to
pursue
an
easement
that
funding
would
be
available
for
them,
but
we
don't
think
it
needs
to
be
appropriate
in
our
budget
annually.
C
The
next
is
the
elimination
of
the
support
for
the
Virginia
cooperative
extensions
financial
education
educator
position.
This
is
at
$32,000
a
little
over
$30,000
there's
no
ft
impact
to
the
county,
although
it
does
have
a
staff,
it's
a
staff
position
for
a
BCE
that
staff
positions
currently
vacant.
So
just
a
little
background
in
2009
fiscal
year,
2009
BC
out
of
this
position,
funded
by
a
combination
of
grants
and
has
grown
from
a
10-hour
week
position
to
over
20
29
hours
per
week.
Vc
provides
approximately
130
financial
education
programs
to
residents
annually.
C
So
when
their
external
funding
ran
out
and
those
grant
funding
ran
out
and
FY
818
VC
approached
DPR
for
additional
funding.
Vcs
request
was
not
included
in
the
county
managers.
Fy
18
proposed
budget,
but
was
funded
at
adoption.
Without
this
funding,
VC
would
not
need
to
pursue
other
funding
opportunities,
or
they
will
no
longer
be
able
to
offer
these
services.
Participants
in
the
VC
program
will
still
have
accessed
a
similar
program
content,
although
through
other
county
programs
such
as
at
libraries
in
the
past
year,
they've
had
eight
personal
finance
and
non
profit.
C
The
next
is
the
DPR
snowblower
loaner
program
at
thirty
thousand
dollars
with
a
about
0.5
temporary
support,
which
is
currently
vacant.
Dpr
has
25
snowblowers
in
our
inventory
and
that
limited
supply
means
that
limited
areas
of
the
community
benefit
with
DPR,
typically
receiving
30
applications
for
25
snowblowers.
Each
year,
projects
are
developed
for
the
public
benefit
areas,
including
sidewalks
to
schools
and
bus
stops
and
public
transportation,
medical
facilities
and
stores
to
obtain
items
necessary
for
daily
living.
Most
individuals
receive
a
snowblower
form
form
groups
within
their
civic
associations.
C
To
achieve
the
approved
plan,
each
plan
proposes
to
clear
an
average
about
a
1/2
to
3/4
of
a
mile
of
sidewalk
curb
cuts
and
other
buses,
bus
stops,
etc.
As
DPR
staff
that
oversees
this
program
responsible,
snow
clearing
themselves,
staff
does
not
have
the
capacity
to
go
out
and
verify.
The
work
has
been
completed
to
the
plans
that
to
the
plans
that
were
developed,
the
average
cost
of
the
program
has
incurred
regardless
of
any
snow,
is
received
in
the
season
or
not.
C
If
Arlington
encounters
heavy
snow,
the
cost
can
be
actually
higher
due
to
the
snow
blowers
needing
maintenance
and
repaired
during
the
season.
Dpr
will
use.
If
this
was
duction
is
taken,
DPR
will
use
the
snow
blowers
in
our
inventory
without
investing
maintenance
dollars
until
they
are
no
longer
performed
no
longer
performed
by
DPR.
The
snow
blowers
could
then
be
auctioned
off
per
county
property
guidelines
are
disposable
of
property
in
DPR
would
communicate
that
auction
to
the
interested
partners
parties.
C
So,
as
we
move
forward
to
future
years,
we
have
some
key
budget
considerations
with
Longbridge
park
coming
online
and
lubber
run.
We
have
talked
multiple
times
about
the
fact
that
there
will
be
needed
to
have
there
will
be
operating
impacts
as
we
open
up
those
centers
reopen
lava,
run
and
open
up
long
bridge.
C
Similarly,
as
we
continue
to
pursue
and
bring
on
new
capital
projects,
there
are
operating
budget
impacts
anywhere
from
needing
to
add
funding
to
contracts
for
restroom,
cleaning,
mowing
and
Lansky
tracts,
but
also
from
new
projects
like
mosaic
park,
which
should
be
coming
in
the
future,
may
have
some
general
maintenance
needs
as
well.
One
thing
I
just
wanted
to
point
out,
because
we
don't
always
get
to
discuss
this.
C
The
contractual
contractual
pressures
that
come
up
every
come
up
periodically
so
every
five
years
or
so
we
bit
out
or
a
lot
of
our
maintenance
contracts
and,
as
you
may
recall,
in
FY
18
the
mowing
the
landscaping
contracts
came
in
with
a
10%
increase
on
the
mowing
site
and
nearly
two
hundred
and
seventy
seventy
percent
increase
on
the
landscaping
side.
These
increases
were
about
a
hundred
and
seventy-five
thousand
that's
what
we
brought.
It
was
sort
of
part
of
our
budget
process.
A
Thank
you,
mister
Dolph.
It's
a
really
helpful
presentation,
so
I'm
going
to
invite
up
some
of
our
Commission's.
As
I
mentioned,
we
actually
have
five
with
us
today.
I
think
so
we'll
bring
up
you
up
for
brief
presentation.
Ask
you
to
step
aside
and
allow
another
Commissioner
to
come
forward,
but
please
do
stay
close
by
so
I
believe
we
have
Norman
Ora
Palmateer
here
he's
the
chair
of
our
urban
forestry
as
well
as
bill
Ross
from
Parks
and
Recreation.
Please
come
on
up
we'd
love
to
hear
from
you.
First.
A
D
Thank
you.
I
should
start
off
by
saying
that
Urban
Forestry
Commission
is
very
pleased
with
the
budget
process
this
year
that
it
really
looked
strategically
at
where
to
make
the
cuts
instead
of
doing
an
overall
by
department
or
unit,
and
that
the
most
important
part
to
us
is
the
operational
expenses,
the
maintenance
of
trees
and
the
planting
of
them
and
that's
not
been
cut.
D
But
we
realize
that
we're
going
to
need
outside
assistance
when
it
comes
to
that
community
engagement.
That
Arlington
is
so
well
known
for
and
that's
where
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
that
issue
this
year
and
trying
to
come
up
with
how
do
we
do
that
cost
effectively
using
partnerships
using
online
strategies,
but
it's
something
that
we're
keeping
in
mind
for
budget
needs
for
the
next
year.
So,
overall
you
did
a
great
job.
They
you.
E
Good
thanks.
We
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
share
our
views.
Given
the
tight
budget
projection,
we
generally
support
the
county
managers
recommendations.
We
recognize
that
losing
about
10
FTEs
within
the
department
of
parking
and
recreation
is
painful
and
it
requires
setting
priorities
and
making
difficult
choices
in
some
other
areas.
But
seeing
things
like
eliminating
heavy
equipment
and
getting
rid
of
vehicles
or
vehicles
that
can
be
outsourced
also
seems
to
be
appropriate
recommendation.
E
We
did
have
our
preliminary
concern
from
one
of
my
colleagues
who's
on
the
+55
group,
the
idea
because
of
the
heavy
travel
programs
for
the
buses
and
the
other
vehicles
that
are
used.
They
just
want
to
make
sure
that,
with
whatever
we're
going
to
be
doing
forward,
we're
going
to
be
sure
shirring
a
high
quality
of
services
that
are
provided
there,
but
in
any
case,
getting
rid
of
some
of
these
nice
to
have
things
like
July
4th
programs
and
the
the
snowblower
portion
we
can.
E
We
can
see
that
that
those
are
good
choices,
given
the
idea
of
looking
to
kind
of
a
more
strategic
in
and
long-term
view
of
the
budget
and
you'll
hear
this
from
a
lot
of
people
I'm
sure
and
can
in
in
while
we
appreciate
the
proposed
maintenance
budget
for
Park
and
Rec
hasn't
been,
including
the
proposed
cuts.
It
was
still
a
big
concern
that
about
pass
cuts
that
have
not
been
made
up,
and
obviously
this
is
a
noticeable
concern
as
we
move
into
the
future
and
Nora
mentioned
this.
E
You'll
probably
hear
this
by
other
people,
especially
as
we're
getting
in
Long,
Bridge,
Park
and
lubber
run
or
getting
on
line,
and
we've
got
to
run
those
run
those
programs
and
keep
them
up,
obviously
more
burden
on
on
the
rest
of
the
budget,
and
so
a
big
concern
and
we're
gonna
try
to
learn
more
about
it.
The
idea,
what
are
the
items
of
deferred
maintenance
that
that
are
out
there
now
and
we've
given
that
were
for
for
this,
and
in
future
budgets,
we've
like
to
ask
DPR
staff
for
more
information
on
the
maintenance
capability.
E
Specifically,
we
had
a
nice
presentation
on
our
meeting
last
month
and
we
were
just
asked
to
get
more
about
this
listing,
and
so
we
can
extent
we
can
deferred
maintenance
items,
those
included
not
included,
for
example,
in
the
pay-go
maintenance
capital
program.
The
idea
being
here
that,
if
you
have
deferred
maintenance
underfunding,
might
lead
to
end
up
having
impacts
on
future
budgets
and
on
fourth
CIPS
to
terms
of
oh,
we
gotta
rebuild
that
entire
facility.
E
Anyway,
with
that
kind
of
information,
we
might
be
able
to
give
you
even
more
thoughts
on
what
we're
what
we'd
like
to
see
in
the
budget
and
recommendations
to
help
support
the
operations
of
DPR
and
the
last
thing
in
Nora
just
mentioned.
This
we
wanted
to
focus
on
is
the
updating
of
the
natural
resource
management
plan
in
the
urban
forest
master
plan,
which
we
hopefully
will
begin
exterior
support
that
will
have
funding
to
support
those
projects.
That's
what
I
have
for
now.
Thanks
thank.
A
You
both,
if
you
wouldn't
mind,
staying
close
we'd
love
to
have
access
to
you
should
other
questions
arise,
arise
but
I
do
want
to
invite
our
Sports
Commission
I
have
surely
breath
well
as
our
chair,
but
I
wonder
if
sports
might
be.
Oh
I
didn't
even
see
you
there
really.
Please
do
join
us,
and
then
we
have
Donna
SC
of
the
Aquatic
sub-commission
subcommittee.
Rather
thank.
C
F
You
good
to
see
everybody
today.
Sorry
I
was
running
late,
so
I
appreciate
the
chance
to
be
here
to
talk
about
the
budget
I
did
want
to.
You
know,
do
a
shout
out
to
county
manager
and
the
staff
for
having
done
what
I
think
is
probably
really
hard
work
to
to
make
up
the
shortfall
from
the
sports
perspective.
We
feel
that
the
proposals
that
they're
making
are
fair.
We
feel
overall,
that
they're
fair
proposals
as
a
second.
What
bill
said
and
say
that
you
never
want
to
see
cuts.
F
F
The
Commission
is
supportive
of
the
fee
increases
for
short-term
rentals
tournament,
hosting
fees
that
aquatics
and
gymnastics
fees,
those
kinds
of
things.
We
also
support
elimination
of
the
boxing
program
and
the
boxing
ring
at
Barcroft.
We
think
that
space,
as
DPR
pointed
out,
is
not
being
used
very
well
and
could
be
put
to
better
use.
There's
probably
some
room
down
there
for
some
added
fitness
space.
The
fitness
space
at
bar
craft
is
kind
of
small
I'm.
Sure
Don
is
going
to
speak
to
the
aquatics
committee.
F
Feelings
about
the
budget,
so
I
won't
go
into
that
in
my
statement,
but
a
my
statement
doesn't
cover
that
in
terms
of
opportunities
that
may
not
have
been
thought
of
in
this
budget
or
could
be
thought
about
in
the
future.
We
want
to
throw
out
some
some
additional
ideas
that
you
guys
might
want
to
think
about.
F
F
With
our
Commission
wrote
to
you
guys
last
year
about
training
at
the
your
town
restrooms
reopened.
That
might
be
an
area
where
you
want
to
start
considering
some.
You
know
offering
some
local
businesses
some
advertising
time,
something
that
they
do
in
in
MacLean.
They
have
local
landscaping.
Companies
take
care
of
the
the
fields.
Mclean
Little
League
fields
are
totally
cared
for
by
by
wheats
landscaping
out
of
I.
Think
they're
in
Vienna
there's
a
lot
of
landscaping,
companies
in
Arlington
and
mowing
services
that
are
all
local
businesses.
F
So
that
might
be
something
that
they
would
be
interested
in,
participating
in
to
get
their
names
out
there.
Similarly,
with
the
restrooms
that
you
name
find
out,
a
cleaning
company
he'd
be
willing
to
sponsor
a
restroom
or
two,
so
that
might
be
something
kind
of
out-of-the-box
to
think
about,
and
then
I
think
you
know
just
even
further
out
of
the
box
and
we
have
a.
We
have
a
breakdown
in
Arlington
between
DPR
programming
and
private
affiliated
league
programming.
Dpr
is
caught
the
personal
costs
for
DPR,
the
most
significant
part
of
their
expenditures.
F
Dpr
might
want
to
start
thinking
about.
Are
there
other
things
that
it
should
be
trying
to?
You
know
push
out
it
into
private
programming,
to
reduce
personnel
costs,
just
something
to
think
about
as
we're
moving
forward
longer-term
issues
that
we're
concerned
about
beyond
this
particular
year,
as
I
mentioned,
maintenance
fee,
that
maintenance
fund
is
already
at
a
bare-bones
level
and
we're
going
through
and
opening
up
some
of
the
diamond
feet
diamond
field
facilities
to
provide
for
shared
access.
F
F
I
think
that
the
Sports
Foundation's
efforts
with
respect
to
Gunston
could
continue
and
could
you
know,
could
potentially
result
in
larger,
larger
dollar
amounts,
but
it
we
might
want
to
look
at
how
to
incentivize
those
kinds
of
partnerships
through
signage
or
sponsorship,
or
name
rewrites
or
that
kind
of
thing.
So
those
are
just
some
some
ideas
to
think
about
for
down
the
road
very.
A
G
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
to
speak
here,
just
a
reminder
that
the
the
pools
at
the
three
high
schools,
our
joint
use
facilities,
managed
by
Arlington
Public,
Schools
and
funded
basically
from
three
sources:
ApS
for
school-based
instruction
and
athletic
programs,
fees
from
communities,
swim
and
pool
rentals
and
Arlington
County
through
a
transfer
of
funds
from
DPR
to
APs,
to
support
community-based
programs,
swimming
diving,
water
exercise,
classes,
etc.
G
Basically,
a
proposed
budget
requires
a
5%
increase
in
admission
and
membership
fees
and
a
10%
increase
in
rentals.
The
members
of
the
Aquatic
Committee
do
not
fully
support
those
proposed
fees.
However,
we're
reviewing
selected
areas
where
increases
might
be
appropriate,
and
since
these
directly
addressed
the
APS
budget,
we'll
be
sharing
those
details
with
the
school
board
for
this
body.
G
This
number
was
the
difference
between
budgeted
pool
expenses,
the
projected
revenue
for
community
swim
and
rental
programs
for
fiscal
year
2010.
So
why
am
I
talking
about
that?
Well,
partly
because
that
transfer
fee
has
not
changed
in
nine
years
as
part
of
the
MOU.
It
stated
that
for
fiscal
year
2011
and
for
future
budgets
and
I
quote
school
and
county
staff
will
evaluate
both
the
revenue
and
the
expenditures
for
all
three
pools
and
will
recommend
changes
to
the
transfer
amount.
G
If
appropriate
and
as
I
say
for
nine
years,
hasn't
gone
up,
hasn't
gone
down
during
those
nine
years.
The
number
of
DPR
programs
for
swimming
and
diving
and
water
exercise
increased
by
a
hundred
and
thirty.
Eight
percent
programs
for
senior
water
exercise
increased
by
ninety
percent.
The
number
of
participants
also
increased
in
those
areas.
G
During
those
nine
years,
the
Consumer
Price
Index
for
all
urban
consumers
increased
only
12
points
percent,
while
the
fees
for
community
swim,
increased
35%
and
for
rentals
increased
50%.
That's
one
of
the
reasons
we're
not
too
happy
about
supporting
another
5%
and
10%
increased
this
year.
We,
we
think
the
some
of
the
folks
have
have
done
their
bit
in
the
last
nine
years.
G
So
the
figures
for
2017
that
the
aquatics
committee
have
have
seen
showed
that
swim
expenses
for
2017
were
approximately
one
point:
six:
eight
million,
while
community
swim
revenue
was
approximately
1.1
million.
The
difference
between
those
two
figures-
five
hundred
and
seventy
thousand,
nearly
double
the
current
transfer
amount.
G
H
Thank
You
chair
crystal
board
members,
Dorsey
Garvey
got
Chow
and
Vice
stat.
My
name
is
Tenley
Peterson
and
I'm.
The
chair
of
the
fiscal
affairs
Advisory
Commission.
First,
thank
you
to
miss
Rudolph
and
her
staff
for
meeting
with
the
Commission
and
going
over
the
budget
with
us
in
depth.
This
report
was
prepared
by
fact,
Commission
members,
Alex
kumano,
Paul,
Holland
and
Jillian
Burgas.
H
The
FY
19
proposed
budget
for
DPR
is
42
point:
1
million
a
1%
increase
over
the
FY
18
adopted
budget.
This
does
include
1.1
million
in
reduction
throughout
the
department
and
includes
that
the
elimination
of
a
net
total
of
8.5
currently
filled
FTEs.
The
budget
sustains
a
similar
level
of
service
for
Arlington
Pact
taxpayers
as
past
years,
as
well
as
identifies
efficiencies
and
service
delivery
to
save
taxpayer
funds.
H
We
are
encouraged
by
the
shift
participant
transportation
duties
to
a
third-party
contractor
to
find
efficiencies
as
well
as
working
with
Arlington
Public
Schools,
though
we
do
have
concerns
about
previous
cuts
to
DPR
and
the
uncertain
out
out
year,
budget
Department
outlook
for
the
department.
As
far
as
recommendations,
the
first
one.
The
fact
recommends
that
the
county
board
adopt
the
managers
proposed
budget
for
FY
19
for
the
Department
of
Parks
and
Recreation
12
in
support
three
noes
and
0
abstentions.
H
The
three
people
that
voted
against
this
did
support
the
reductions
in
the
manager's
budget,
but
didn't
support
the
increases
in
salary.
They
didn't
have
anything
against
DPR.
In
particular.
They
just
didn't
want
salary
increases
in
general
across
the
board,
so
we're
planning
to
vote
against
all
of
the
the
budgets.
Other
members
plan
on
opening
on
the
salary
increases
at
the
separate
compensation
meeting,
which
we'll
be
doing
soon.
As
we
previously
noted,
we
are
encouraged
by
the
county's
work
to
reassign
positions
whose
that
are
being
eliminated
to
other
spots
in
the
county.
H
Recommendation
number
two:
the
fact
recommends
that
the
county
board
fund
school
related
services,
including
preschools
through
the
APS
budget
15,
were
in
support
of
this
zero
noes,
0
abstentions.
We
noticed
that
the
county
managers
DPR
budget,
includes
funding
for
preschools.
We
understand
that
this
expense
is
part
of
the
DPR
budget
for
legacy
reasons,
and
not
because
it
makes
strategic
sense
for
preschools
to
be
run
out
of
Parks
and
Recreation.
We
recognize
the
importance
of
preschools
and
believe
it
could
be
best
run
by
those
tasked
with
administering
schools
for
the
county.
H
As
far
as
future
considerations,
the
fact
believes
that
the
current
DPR
staff
can
absorb
some
of
the
duties
of
the
office
of
community
health
and
volunteer
office,
but
we
are
interested
in
meeting
with
them
over
the
course
of
the
year
to
see
how
the
this
transfer
is
working.
Previous
fiscal
year
cuts
have
reduced
maintenance
of
fields
and
the
number
of
bathrooms
open
during
off-peak
season,
so
we're
concerned
with
DPR
s,
ability
to
sustain
park,
maintenance
and
expected
amenities
if
their
budget
cannot
keep
up
with
inflationary
pressures.
H
And
finally,
current
maintance
cost
such
as
the
mowing
contract
will
continue
to
increase
Becca's
concerned.
Dpr
will
need
to
scale
back
services
even
further
to
meet
budgetary
constraints
and,
generally
effect,
has
long
advised
against
deferred
maintenance,
as
it
can
often
result
in
longer
more
costs
in
the
long
run.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
Thank
you
very.
A
Much
well
a
good
cross-section
of
our
many
civic
engaged
groups
and
our
commissions
and
a
pretty
good
representation
of
how
much
the
Department
of
Parks
and
Recreation
does
so.
Thank
you
all
I'm,
going
to
open
it
up
to
my
colleagues
for
the
balance
of
our
session
for
questions.
Answers
thought
as
we've
begun
in
other
sessions,
I'm
going
to
encourage
us
to
begin
with
questions
about
some
of
the
proposed
cuts
or
changes
to
this
year's
budget.
F
I
C
A
Is
a
quick
one,
I'll
actually
ask
one
myself:
I
wanted
to
make
sure
I'm
understanding
the
implications
of
the
reductions
in
the
Northern
Virginia,
constant,
Conservation,
Trust
budget,
so
no
open
space
preservation
funding
they
have
did
I,
hear
you
right
mister
if
they
historically
used
that
funding
for
easements
acquisition.
It's
basically
land
acquisition
is
that
right.
C
A
C
Not
it's
not
really,
commitment,
I
can't!
Yes,
so
right!
So
it's
it's.
How
was
drafted
in
the
MOU
that
we
can
work
with
with
them
to
if
to
see
if
they
need
the
funding,
but
it's
not
cumulative.
It
exists
in
the
general
fund
operating
budget.
So
it's
not
a
fun.
That's
carried
forward
every
year,
I
see.
C
Or
conservation,
no,
they
have
not
so
they
just
have
not
used
so
the
64,
the
65
percent,
those
transferred
over
to
them
for
operating
they
use
every
year.
The
part
that's
for
the
fund
is
only
to
be
used
for
easement.
If
they
do
not
use
it,
don't
make
the
transfer
they'll
make
the
transfer
I
see
so
it
gets
allocated
each
year
as
part
of
the
general
operating
budget
and
each
year
it
goes
away.
Ok,.
A
J
Miss
crystal
prompts
me
to
to
have
my
first
question
key
off
of
that,
and
that
is
as
the
new
liaison
to
the
Northern
Virginia
Conservation
Trust
I'm,
going
to
be
having
a
meeting
with
the
leadership
again
in
the
near
future
and
MS
Rudolph.
You
made
the
comment
that
there
hasn't
been
a
new
n
VCT
easement
accepted
on
an
arlington
property
in
about
ten
years.
Is
that
right?
J
Do
you
have
any
speculation
as
to
why
that
is?
Do
you
think
it's
may
be
that
that
the
the
the
organization
is
not
penetrating
into
the
community
like
they
need
to
a
lack
of
awareness,
lack
of,
or
is
it
that
somebody
may
have
a
property
where
they're
interested
in
having
a
preservation
easement,
and
then
they
decide
it's
too
much
red
tape
or
the
sacrifice
is
too
much
or
or
what
do
you
think
it
might
be
I.
C
Easement
I
think
that
NBCT
does
a
really
good
job
on
trying
to
spread
out
concert
information
about
conservation.
That's
why
we
continue
to
want
to
support.
There
are
operating
side
of
what
they
do,
but
I
think
you
know
again
it's
a
lot
of.
It
is
small.
We
have
small
Lots
in
Arlington
and
some
of
the
areas
that
really
can't
be
developed
period.
People,
don't
they
don't
feel
like
they
need
to
put
an
easement
on
top
of
it
if
they're
already
like
their
backyards,
a
steep
slope.
Okay,.
J
I
appreciate
those
observations,
and
maybe
maybe
we'll
talk
again
before
my
next
meeting
with
envy
at
the
NBCT
leadership.
A
couple
of
other
questions:
I
was
at
open
door
last
night,
always
you
know
an
engaging
experience
when
we're
at
our
four
locations
for
open
door
with
our
community,
and
there
was
some
concern
raised
from
the
55-plus
community
of
which
I'm
a
member.
J
Although
I've
not
availed
myself
of
any
trips
that
you
know,
there's
an
anxiety
about
what
the
practical
impact
might
be.
If
the
managers
proposed
move
with
respect
to
the
bus
and
and
I
was
running
what
you
might
be
able
to
say
to
the
55-plus
community
to
assuage
any
concerns
they
may
have
with
respect
to
either
the
level
of
service
or
the
quality,
as
well
as
out-of-pocket
costs
by
the
seniors,
utilizing
the
service
sure.
C
As
I
said
earlier,
this
does
not
change
the
travel
program.
The
travel
program
will
still
exist.
We
do
it
approximately
a
hundred
and
sixty
trips
per
year
as
part
of
55-plus
senior
travel
program.
We
anticipate
to
do
again
approximately
the
same
number.
160
trips
is
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
trips.
If
you
think
about
it,
and
we
are
committed
to
providing
those
trips
at
the
same
cost
that
they
currently
are
providing.
C
We
also
believe
that
we
can
have
a
consistent
good
service
through
this
contract
method,
with
similar
coach
buses,
like
the
ones
that
we
already
are
using
spirity
have
coach
budgets
on
contract
that
we
use,
particularly
for
longer
trips
or
when
the
current
coach
bus
that
we
have
is
in
the
shop
we
have
to
transfer
over
to
a
contract.
Since
it's
not
available
for
the
day.
C
We
feel
that
this
will
still
provide
the
service
that
we
we
we
want
to
give.
They
will
still
have
opportunities
to
have
all
the
different
types
of
trips,
because
there
are
very
many.
You
know
there
go
longer
distances
in
shorter
and
we
do
feel
that
this
day
travel
it's
part
of
a
robust
or
aging-in-place
program
that
Arlington
County
provides.
So
we
do
not
look
to
have
any
change
in
the
fee
or
the
service
that
we
are
providing
as
part
of
the
FY
19
budget.
Okay,.
J
J
And
so,
if
you
look
in
the
55
plus
magazine,
a
bimonthly
magazine
that
we
put
out
easy
to
read,
the
print
might
be
a
little
bigger
even
from
my
younger
eyes,
but
on
page
2.
It
talks
about
the
55
plus
pass,
and
so
there's
an
Arlington
County,
there's
an
annual
fee
for
the
regular
past,
55
plus,
and
then
an
annual
for
the
55
gold
pass,
which
we
instituted
a
few
years
ago,
and
there
are
fees
for
single
residents
as
well
as
households.
And
then
there
is
a
step
up
to
non
Arlington,
County
residents.
J
What
are
your
thoughts
on
that
doo
doo
doo?
How
does
the
nan
County
figure?
How
is
how
is
that
determined
to
you?
Do
you
believe
that
we're
at
the
right
place
there
might
might?
Might
it
be
reasonable
to
adjust
that
fee
upward
in
future
years
again
for
non
county
residents?
What
are
your
thoughts
and
I'd
also
be
interested
in
knowing
whether
the
chair
of
the
Park
and
Recreation
Commission
or
anybody
else
from
among
the
Commission's
we've
heard
from
today,
might
have
a
perspective
on
that?
So.
C
My
perspective,
I
would
say
beyond
just
the
seniors,
but
we
have
non-resident
fees
for
all
of
our
things.
That's
also
enjoy
as
well.
It's
about
20%
above
I
think
it's
the
rate
that
we
currently
do
at
one
point.
You
know:
we've
been
sort
of
tweaking
and
adjusting
our
fees
sort
of
consistently
for
the
past
five
years
and
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
are
being
really
consistent
with
our
cost
recovery
model.
C
We
used
to,
for
example,
in
the
fitness
for
Fitness
membership,
have
really
high
high
non-resident
fees
to
the
point
where
we
had
no
non-residents
using
our
fitness,
so
I
think
we
have
to
figure
out
what
that
balance.
Is
that
we're
not
just
pricing
out
non-residents,
because
we
think
that'll
generate
more
revenue
at
the
same
time?
J
No
and
no
and
I
appreciate
I,
guess:
I
guess
the
the
the
balance
we
have
to
come
up
with
is:
are
the
non-residents
crowding
out
the
residence
in
our
that
are?
We
are
we
in
part,
you
know
adding
new
equipment
and
expanding
programs
and
facilities
that
are
going
to
have
the
net
impact
of
actually
catering
more
to
non-residents
than
reticent
than
residents?
Well,.
C
That's
part
of
the
reasons
why
we
always
have
our
registrations
have
a
flag
before
we
do
non-residents
and
for
some
things
like
our
youth
programs,
we
have
basically
no
non-residents
in
our
youth
programs
with
other
programs
like
day
passes
and
things
it's
kind
of
a
little
bit
harder
to
say.
If
you
know
people
are
willing
to
spend
it
so
I
think
it's
just
getting
to
that
balance.
I
mean
specifically
for
senior
travel.
We
can
look
at
the
participation
rates
and
see
if
it
really
seems
like
we're
crowding
out
residents
with
non-residents.
C
J
E
I,
don't
know
if
I'll
add
a
lot,
but
I
appreciate
what
Jane
just
offered
in
terms
of
our
thinking
about
that
the
one
died
in
terms
of
resident
versus
non-resident.
This
is
my
personal
view
on
this,
and
just
looking
at
some
of
the
discussions
we've
heard
about,
do
we
have
too
many
people
on
the
softball
teams
or
the
volleyball
organizations
coming
in
that
kind
of
and
I
would
think
whatever
we
do.
E
We
would
always
want
to
pay
attention
to
what
our
neighbors
are
doing,
because
thinking
about
in
terms
of
regional
cooperation,
I
know,
I
spent
my
millennial
period,
I
played
softball
in
DC,
and
nobody
ever
questioned
me
going
down
there
and
I
use
their
facility
for
years
and
years
and
I
think
you
look
at
more
crowded
urban
areas.
If
they're
out
the
east
and
there's
always
as
issues
you
know,
can
you
drive
into
a
park
and
use
the
park
or
not
if
you're
non-resident?
And
you
know
what
are
we
doing
in
terms
of
regional
cooperation?
E
I
think
that
would
be
a
one
thing.
You'd
want
to
keep
in
mind
and
addition
just
carefully
watching
it
and
I
mean
while
you're
well
I'm
here,
and
why
you
kind
of
asked
the
question
I
think
there's
other
areas
that
we
might
want
to
look
at
in
terms
of
fees
and
again
it's
my
personal
view
and
it's
it's
the
the
aid
related
fees.
E
We
have
might
argue
that
a
lot
of
55-plus
people
in
arlington
are
doing
okay,
economically
and
if
you
look
at
their
fees
compared
to
what
my
twenty-something
sons
have
to
pay
is
quite
a
difference,
they
have
to
pay
a
lot
more
and
when
I'd
argue
in
this
day
and
age
that
there's
a
certain
imbalance
in
terms
of
resources
that
people
have
to
pay
for
recreation
and
not
that
we
want
to
discourage
+55.
It's
important
for
us,
older
folks
to
get
out
there
and
and
exercise
and
recreate.
So
those
are
just
my
thoughts
on
that.
I.
A
G
Enjoy
Arlington
classes,
the
folks
from
out
of
County
I
believe
have
to
wait
a
week
after
signup
for
everyone
else
in
Arlington
before
they
can
sign
up
for
a
class,
so
that
gives
our
lectin
residents
a
chance
to
be
first
in
line
and
get
the
classes
they
want
for
seniors.
That
is
not
the
case
for
seniors.
The
signup
is
exactly
the
same
time
for
in
County
and
out
of
County
residents,
and
so
you
get
a
lot
of
out
of
County
residents
come
in
and
oh
and
the
price
is
actually
the
same
for
them.
G
G
Swimming
at
all,
okay,
not
talking
swimming
I,
am
talking
55,
plus
classes,
55,
plus
and
I
am
one
of
those
people.
Okay
and
I
am
also
on
the
sports
and
fitness
committee
at
four
offices
senior
adult
programs.
We
brought
this
up
a
number
of
years
that
we
would
like
it
to
be
looked
at
to
change
the
policy
for
seniors
to
where
it's
like
the
rest
of
enjoy
Arlington,
that
the
signup
for
out
of
County
is
delayed
by
a
you
know.
In
some
cases
these
these
classes
fill
up
in
three
minutes.
G
H
Yeah
well
so
I
wanted
to
add
you
know
as
a
parent
whose
spouse
was
up
at
7:30
a.m.
less
Wednesday
registering
for
swim
class.
We
appreciate
any
advantage
we
can
get
to
get
into
the
swim
classes
if
they're
being
offered
to
non-residents
as
well,
but
I
also
appreciate
the
suggestion
that
non-residents
be
looked
at
possible,
increasing
in
fees
to
help
kind
of
defray
some
of
the
costs.
Possibly
we
could
do
surveys
for
non-residents
that
would
kind
of
find
that
equilibrium
between
the
demand
and
what
people
are
willing
to
pay.
I
C
Know
there
was
a
change
at
that
time.
It
did,
and
one
of
the
budgets
were.
The
non-resident
fee
went
up
extremely
high,
fifty
percent
higher
and
it
was
sort
of
an
outlier
and
the
community
kind
of
got
concerned
about
that,
and
so
we
actually
rolled
it
back
to
much
lower
percentage
should
be
more
in
line.
What
we
do
with
our
others
at
that
time.
C
The
class
costs,
as
well
as
an
area
where
gymnastics
and
aquatics
is
so
popular
that
we
used
to
be
setting
fees
for
gymnastics
and
quad
X,
as
if
we
had
minimum
enrollment,
which
is
how
we
do
a
lot
of
our
classes,
because
we
won't
have
a
program
if
we
don't
hit
our
minimum
enrollment,
but
we
always
have
basically
maximum
enrollment.
For
those.
We
started
to
look
at
pricing
it
more
towards
the
median,
so
we
actually
roll
back
the
fees
as
well.
So
that
was
a
servant
alignment
time
for
us.
I
C
I
C
Little
bit
the
reason
and
and
I
think
these
are
all
really
good
points
that
we
should
definitely
look.
We
didn't
really
try
not
to
look
at
our
fees
this
year,
so
I
think
it's
helpful
for
us
to
look
for
guidance
for
future
years,
but
because
we've
tried
to
stay
really
sort
of
true
to
our
fee
and
our
cost
recovery
models
we
haven't,
but
I
appreciate.
This
conversation
is
something
to
look
forward
to
for
FY
20,
so
55
plus
is
a
little
different.
C
Is
that
you
become
a
member
so
that
I
think
that's
partially,
why
the
once
you
become
a
member
and
you
pay
those
those
fees
that
you
you
listed
mr.
Vyse
debt,
then
you
become
a
member
of
the
program
and
you
are
then
afforded
the
opportunity
to
sign
up
for
classes
as
any
other
member
which
means
resident
and
non-resident.
So
we
can
definitely
look.
Maybe
we
should
take
some
time
this
year
to
look
forward
to
maybe
there's
some
program
or
operational
changes
that
we
can
make
and
then
also
look
for
next
year's
budget.
C
If
we
should
look
at,
you
know,
actual
changes
and
fees
related
to
the
non-resident,
but
I
think
that's
how
why
it's
different
than
they
enjoy
because
you're,
not
you
know,
to
become
a
member
first
to
do
it.
You
have
to
become
a
member
first
to
become
part
of
the
55
plus
program.
So
I
appreciate
those
suggestions
and
I
think
that's
something
we
can
look
into
this
coming
year.
No.
I
C
Think
that
that's
going
to
be
an
important
conversation
that
we
need
to
have
to
talk
about
fees,
I
think
it's
important
for
fees
not
just
for
the
Aquatic
Center,
but
do
you
think
it
has
impacts
on
our
fees
all
around
for
our
fitness
centers,
the
lb
pack,
which
is
the
Commission
for
the
committee
that
was
created
by
for
long
bridge
as
a
subcommittee?
Now
that
we've
kicked
off
just
to
deal
with
fees?
C
Paul
Holland
has
agreed
to
chair
that
for
us
and
we're
working
to
kick
that
off,
so
that
we
can
have
a
really
robust
community
conversation
on
fees
that
we
can
bring
back
to
the
board
because
we
probably
will
have
to
have
at
least
some
fees
adopted
as
part
of
the
FY
2008
just
so
that
we
can
anticipate
it's
up
its
opening.
So
we
will
be
reporting
more
on
that
soon,
like
a
sneak
preview
today.
Thank
you.
Yeah.
A
It
seems
very
attractive
right
up
to
the
moment
it
starts
being
done
to
us
and
we
start
dealing
with
the
consequences.
So
I
think
that
it's
a
balance
for
us
to
consider
and
appreciate
the
attentiveness
GPR
is
already
paid
to
getting
that
balance
right.
I'm
gonna
go
to
mr.
Getchell
next,
with
some
questions.
Thank.
K
You
and
thanks
to
mr.
Ross
for
coining
a
new
term,
our
millennial
period,
I,
think
we'll
have
to
see
if
I
can
use
that
one
at
some
point
so
I
have
a
couple
questions
just
to
follow
up
on
most
were
generated
by
the
testimony
from
our
Commission's,
so
we
had
both
I
think
Parks
and
Rec
and
Sports
had
made
some
comments
related
to
deferred
maintenance.
Saku.
Could
you
just
characterize
I
guess
mr.
Rudolph
sort
of
or
if
you
went
past
it
to
anybody
else
rather
or
not?
K
C
C
So
that's
the
sort
of
an
opera
we
work
towards
having
a
certain
level
of
field,
turf
loss
as
part
of
this
most
of
the
maintenance
on
the
grass
fields.
You
know
the
synthetic
turf
fields
really
can't
maintain
themselves.
I
think
we
are
able
to
maintain
what
we
have
at
a
certain
level
of
turf
loss
and
we
have
been
able
to
source
try
to
sustain
at
that
level.
Turf
loss
I
think
it's
30
percent.
C
Okay,
no
more
than
30
percent
turf
loss.
So
that's
making
the
assumption
that
we
have
a
certain
percentage
that
we
are
can
still
continue
to
maintain
at.
We
have
a.
We
actually
made
a
choice
a
couple
years
ago
to
transfer
a
position
to
bring
back
the
field
turf
mate
in
the
field,
turf
maintenance
position,
so
we
have
a
manager
who's
in
charge
of
field
maintenance,
so
I
think
we've
made
it
a
priority
in
our
department.
You
know
people
were
talking
that
there
has
been
losses.
C
K
Just
to
clarify
and
I
think
miss
Garvey
wants
to
follow
up
on
this
too.
It
seems
like,
but
when
I
think
of
deferred
maintenance
and
I
think
of
sort
of
a
on
a
facility
on
on
a
how
someone's
house
you
know
you
can
not
paint
the
exterior
of
your
house
for
a
while
and
and
at
first
it's
just
if
you
choose
to
live
with
a
less
than
sort
of
perfect
appearance
right,
you're
a
little
bit
of
peeling
paint
nuts,
it's
more
of
an
aesthetic
issue,
but
at
some
point
deferring
that
maintenance.
K
K
Then,
if
you
would
just
maintain
it,
do
a
better
job
of
maintaining
it.
So
I
just
want
to
be
clear
that
it
sounds
if
we're
talking
about
lawn
mowing
in
two
more
weeks
here
and
there
and
I.
Don't
have
grave
concerns
about
that.
But
if
we're
talking
about
that,
we're
sustaining
long-term
damage
to
our
turf
that
in
the
end,
would
cost
us
more
to
bring
it
back
up
than
if
we
were
fully
maintaining
it,
then
that's
something
that
I
would
be
concerned
about.
I.
C
Think
that
it's
hides
a
little
bit
term
operating
budget
of
also
goes
to
our
capital
and
our
Pago
budget
as
well,
which
you
know
that
units
of
the
pay-go
work
session
I
think
on
April
5th,
but,
for
example,
you'll
be
seeing
in
the
pay-go
for
this
year,
constant
community
field
and
some
small
amount
for
Westover.
So
because
those
are
ghosts
or
it's
more
than
what
our
Baton
steam
can
just
do.
C
So
some
of
us
also
have
the
fields
were
built
originally,
so
the
funding
for
like
say
the
Gunston
community
feel,
which
may
you
know,
might
be
it's
kind
of
a
lot
of
dirt
right
now.
It
needs
to
have
that
investment
in
order
for
us
to
be
able
to
them
at
the
parks
now
to
resource
aside,
be
able
to
maintain
it
at
a
level
the
way
that
the
it's
currently
constructed.
It's
just.
We
can't
keep
the
grass
there,
and
so
that's
why
we're
gonna
come
in
I
mean
we
can
consistently.
C
Over
the
past
few
years,
we've
been
going
in
doing
Tuckahoe
bloom
on
Stratford,
we've
been
doing
a
lot
of
parks,
and
once
we
have
that
initial
sort
of
capital
project
it's
much
easier
for
us
than
to
be
able
to
maintain
it
because
we're
putting
any
irrigation
we're
putting
in
the
right
grading
redoing
some
of
those
fields.
So
then,
on
the
staff
side,
we
can
maintain
them
better
sure.
I
It's
the
same
question,
thank
you
and
that
that
is
helpful
to
know
on
694
on
the
web.
Web
694
and
I
just
might
be
reading
it
wrong.
You've
got
the
number,
the
percent
of
fields
that
are
at
this
30
percent
loss,
but
it
looks
like
it's
only.
It's
like
a
quote
like
twenty
one
percent,
twenty
nine
and
eleven
percent,
or
at
that
goal
that
we
have
so
that
the
rest
are
not
and
I
assume
they're
below.
That
is
that
am
I
reading
that
wrong.
L
I
K
K
Motion
number
two
about
the
transfer
of
pre
school
functions
to
potentially
two
ApS
or
otherwise.
So
I
know
that
we
this
year
will
be
phasing
out
the
last
of
the
after
school
to
extend
the
day
and
I
also
did
read
that
we're
changing
the
model
of
the
preschool,
we're
adding
aides
to
that.
But
it's
revenue-neutral
text,
tech
support
neutral.
K
C
I
mean
it's
right
when
in
fact
says
their
legacy
programs
and
they
have
been
when
many
of
have
been
in
the
county
for
a
very
long
time
and
they
are
sort
of
vetted
in
our
community
centers.
These
programs
are
follow
a
play
model
of
preschool
and
they
are
only
half
day,
so
they
provide
a
opportunity
for
families
who
want
to
just
have
their
children
in
a
smaller
day.
C
Program
to
participate
is
like
9:00
to
9:00
to
noon
or
12:30,
whereas
ApS,
currently,
their
preschool
programs
are
all
day
so
they're
just
really
different
models,
as
we
saw
this
year,
I
think
changing
to
the
model,
or
at
least
have
to
to
paid
staff,
has
really
resonated
with
families.
We've
heard
this
from
year
that
we
have
full
enrollment,
which
has
not
always
happen
right
away
off
the
bat.
C
K
Thank
you
and
then
one
last
question
which
had
to
do
with
the
Sports
Commission
offered
up
several
ideas
of
how
to
increase
revenue
and
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
an
Illumina
and
and
relist
them
all
or
but
just
in
response,
and
are
there
any
on
that
list?
That
staff
would
look
forward
to
looking
into
sure.
C
C
Lots
of
out
of
box
thinking
so
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
look
at
the
field
fund.
Payments
currently
feel
fund
is
going
mostly
towards
improvements
and
enhancements.
It
has
never
gone
that
was
sort
of
the
basis
of
what
the
field
fund
was
supposed
to
be.
It
was
not
meant
to
be
an
offset
for
maintenance
so
that
we
were
interested
in
having
a
conversation
to
either
increase
field,
fund,
cost
and
or
look
at
where
the
funding
is
currently
going.
C
So,
for
example,
the
rectangular
field
is
going,
but
the
rectangular
field
fund
money
is
going
to
the
currently
is
being
put
in
an
account.
That's
going
to
help
do
more
than
upcoming
rectangular
conversions
as
part
of
the
CIP,
the
diamond.
Some
of
you
may
recall.
We
adopted
a
diamond
field
policy,
specifically
that
creates
a
subgroup
working
group
of
the
Sports
Commission
that
makes
recommendations.
We've
done
a
number
of
enhancements,
including
things
like
batting
cages
or
additionally,
some
field
fund
money
went
towards
the
Gunston
conversion,
so
that's
always
four
enhancements.
They
have
not
been
for
maintenance.
C
It
would
be
an
interesting
conversation
to
look
at.
You
know
should,
in
the
future
field
fund
money
be
going
towards
maintenance,
and
or
should
we
increase
it
and
have
a
portion
of
it
going
towards
that,
so
that
would
definitely
an
interesting
conversation
for
2012.
That's
next
fiscal
year.
Another
one
all
of
those
opportunities
for
sponsorship
could
be
interesting.
C
A
M
You
fascinating
listening
to
everyone's
conversations.
Quick
met,
appoint
miss
crystal
you
mentioned
at
the
start
of
this
work
session,
the
number
of
Commission's
that
we
have
advising
us
in
these
issues
and
through
our
conversation,
it's
pretty
clear
that
we've
probably
omitted
one,
so
it
would
be
helpful
like
the
Commission
on
Aging,
perhaps
the
disabilities
Advisory
Commission.
We
should
think
about
that
for
future
years.
Given
you
know
not
that
we
will
always
have
necessarily
an
emphasis
on
some
of
these
levels
of
programming,
but
we
are
this
year
and
not
at
the
table,
so
I
missed
them.
M
A
M
A
couple
of
budget
related
questions:
I'm
gonna
speak
for
the
pugilists
in
Arlington
and
ask
about
the
boxing
program
and
what's
going
to
happen
with
that
equipment
in
that
space,
at
Barcroft
with
the
elimination
of
the
program?
Does
that
open
us
up
for
other
opportunities?
Can
we
offload
the
equipment
on
some
other
community
organization,
so.
C
We
are
going
to
look
to
get
to
probably
move
out
the
ring
itself.
There's
some
heavy
bags
in
there,
which
we
want
to
keep
there's
a
55
plus
senior
kickboxing
class
in
there,
and
we
actually
think
that
the
space
could
be
utilized
better.
We'd
want
to
put
in
a
better
flooring
for
fitness
and
just
expand
our
just
offerings
in
general,
but
we
do
see
that
there
might
be
opportunities
for
a
similar
sort
of
martial
arts
or
boxing
programs
in
that
space
that
we
currently
cannot
accommodate
and
because
of
the
ring
it
limits.
M
And
when
it
comes
to
Longbridge
and
the
elimination
of
some
staff
support,
but
also
some
of
the
free
programming,
can
you
just
give
us
a
sense
of
what
the
20,000
and
non-personnel
currently
buys
us
and
what
I'm
going
to
hopefully
get
at
as
to
whether
or
not
there's
a
middle
ground
that
exists
between
no
programming
programming
that
doesn't
cost
us
anything.
So.
C
It's
the
talent,
you
know
we
have
the
big
stage
app
that
we
have.
So
it's
all.
It's
all
that
sort
of
it's
the
talent
that
we
bring
it's
the
music,
it's
the
coordinating
of
having
of
the
activities
there
that
we
bring
on-site,
and
then
we
also-
and
then
we
have
the
food
truck
rally,
there's
all
this
stuff
that
we
bring
on
there
to
create
it.
There's
the
music.
C
M
Things
like
the
food
trucks
potentially
would
require
coordination,
but
not
necessarily
cost
to
the
county
and
maybe
opportunities
for
vendors.
So
we
we
could,
if,
in
your
infinite
wisdom,
decided
there
is
a
middle
ground
between
doing
zilch
and
doing
what
we
have
done.
That
wouldn't
really
cost
us
much.
We.
C
Does
I
mean
there's
so
there's
the
staff
cost
that
we've
had
left
is
really
for
the
the
maintenance
crews
to
come
in
and
for
the
police.
It's
not
so.
The
staff
costs
that
are
associated
with
within
that
part
has
also
helped
accordant
to
bring
on
to
organize
all
those
things
that
you're
also
suggesting
as
well.
So
some
of
that
staff
caught
the
two
are
sort
of
combined.
So
it's
not
just
the
non
personnel.
The
two
thick
one
cancer
always
happened
without
the
other,
but
we
could,
if
interested,
look
at
a
much
more
reduced
model.
It's.
M
Just
me
thinking
out
loud
at
this
point,
so
don't
leap
to
anything
please
so
when
it
comes
to
the
fees
and
the
conversation
about
fees,
remembering
our
fee
conversation
or
our
actions
at
the
last
board
meeting,
we
got
a
look
at
the
fee
schedule
across
your
range
of
programs
and
for
gymnastics.
I
noticed
that
at
the
entry
and
beginner
levels
there's
a
slight
disparity
in
the
fees
that
are
charged
for
boys
and
girls,
gymnastics
when
it
seems
that
the
hours
of
instruction
are
are
equivalent
just
curious
about
it.
I'll.
A
A
J
Right
so
so
two
quick
questions
which,
which
I'm
happy
to
have
pithy
and
concise
answers,
so
MS
Rudolph,
you
mentioned
sponsorships
partnerships,
as
did
miss
broth
well
in
the
context
of
the
Aquatic
Center
mr.
manager.
I
know
that
back
in
2016,
you
had
indicated
as
a
result
of
board
guidance,
actually
that
you
would
be
looking
towards
partnership
sponsorships
to
help
defray
the
cost
of
the
Aquatic
Center,
either
from
a
construction
perspective
or
operational
perspective.
J
You
were
disappointed
in
that
outcome
and
made
the
comment
that
you
know
that
a
lot
of
people
you
approached
institutions,
colleges
and
and
companies
viewed
it
kind
of
as
intangible
or
in
co-ed
at
the
time,
and
now
that
we
have
a
facility
on
the
drawing
boards,
you
indicated
that
you
were
going
to
make
an
renewed
effort
to
go
back
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
could
characterize
that
initiative.
At
this
time.
Sure.
C
J
Great
with
our
budget
challenges,
I
hope
it's
successful.
My
last
question
is,
as
the
chair
of
our
urban
forestry
commission
mentioned,
we're
going
to
be
doing
an
update
of
our
urban
forest
master
plan
and
our
natural
resources
management,
and
how
do
you
see
this
budget
impacting
the
timeline
and
the
quality
of
those
updates?
So.
C
One
thing
we
would
be
looking
to
do
is
to
combine
the
updates
of
those
two
plans
together,
so
that
there's
one
engagement
process
and
if
we
have
the
opportunity
to
bring
on
a
consultant
to
do
that,
work
sort
of
what
money
well
spent,
that
their
combined
as
opposed
to
having
to
I,
also
think
it'll
make
it
more
timely
on
the
updates
as
well,
because
if
not,
we
do
not
have
the
staff
resources
to
do
two
plans
at
the
same
time.
So
that
would
also
ensure
that
it
happens
more
quickly
on
both
sides.
C
We
are
hoping
I
think
we
all
are
hoping
that
we
can
adopt
the
pops
by
the
end
of
this
calendar
year.
We
have
said
that
we
will
not
start
move
forward
on
those
other
plans
until
that's
adopted
just
began
for
staff
resources,
and
also
because
some
of
the
policies
that
are
in
one
document
really
reflect
the
update.
So
at
that
time,
I
think
will
work
with
the
county,
manager's
office
and
DMF
to
see
if
there,
what
opportunities
we
have
to
bring
on
potential
contract
consultant
to
help
us
with
the
process.
Thanks.
I
You
two
quick
questions
on
therapeutic
programs
that
we
do
do
you
think
we're
meeting
the
need
on
therapeutic
programs
for
pretty
much
everybody
that
wants
to
be
in
the
program
we
don't
have
like
waiting
lists
that
are
leaving
people
out.
Do
you
think
we're
pretty
much
meeting
the
need
for
those
programs
because
I
think
for
a
lot
of
those
folks?
Our
programs
are
kind
of
all
they
have
that
people
have
different
options,
but
this
is
a
group
that
doesn't
I.
C
Think
we
provide
a
really
great
service
in
Arlington
this
year.
We
partner
was
something
called
spark
to
provide.
There's
a
age
age
range
sort
of
after
you,
age
out
of
sort
of
where
those
ApS
services
and
a
lot
of
services
go
away
when
you
sort
of
become
an
adult,
I,
think
you're,
it's
more
like
when
you're
26
or
so
so.
C
It
is
a
heavy
staff
driven
program
because
it
really
does
involve
a
lot
of
not
just
hands-on
with
with
the
clients,
but
also
with
family
members
and
caretakers
as
well.
So
we
can
provide
as
much
as
we
can
our
camps
ROV
as
well
subscribed.
Our
programs,
are,
they
well
subscribed,
I,
don't
know,
I,
don't
know
specifically
that
we
are
able
to
expand,
but
I
do
think
that
we,
the
shifts
inclusion,
has
enabled
us
to
do
more.
Yeah.
I
No,
that's
great
and
I'm
glad
to
hear
about
the
the
older
for
older
young
adults
and
last
question.
I
noticed
that
I
can
bike
program
got
cancelled
one
time
because
II
didn't
have
some
I
assume
you're
partnering
with
Phoenix
bikes,
because
I
know
they
do
a
lot
of
work
with
with
various
communities
to
help
kind
of
everybody
ride
a
bike.
Do
we
have
that
I
think
we
do
connect
with
them,
but
I
just
thought:
I'd
check,
yeah.
C
This
one
program
specifically
I,
think
we
stopped
doing
it
because
it
couldn't
be.
It
can
mores,
really
the
only
place
where
you
can
have
it
and
the
Kenmore
gym
was
no
longer
available
to
do
it.
That
program,
I,
don't
believe,
is
with
feeling
spikes
but
Phoenix
bike.
We
obviously
partner
a
lot
with
them
as
they're
about
to
move
into
our
facility.
Yeah.
I
M
We're
at
4:30
so
I
think
a
time
has
passed
to
do
that
so
I'll
just
simply
say
thanks,
I
think,
we've
all
recognized
this
to
some
degree,
but
I
haven't
had
an
opportunity
yet
to
just
express
my
appreciation.
These
are
substantive
budget
reductions
and
they
run
the
they
run
the
gamut
things
that
an
organization
that
is
really
thinking
about
using
resources
effectively
looking
to
find
efficiencies.
M
You
found
those
things
that
have
been
big
albatrosses,
that
you
hate
like
the
trucks
or
the
vans
or
whatever
you
got
getting
rid
of
those
which
is
great,
but
I
can
also
see
that
there's
some
real
impacts
on
real
people
who,
in
a
better
budget
season,
we
would
probably
want
to
continue
to
offering
the
programs
and
services
and
not
deal
with
the
employment
impacts.
So
we
appreciate
you
putting
everything
on
the
table
that
that
helps
us
meet
our
overall
goals,
and
you
know
also,
there
are
a
number
of
programs
that
we
didn't
get
to
today.
M
That
I
know
that
we've
had
lots
of
conversation
about
in
years
past,
like
consumer
education
through
through
the
Cooperative
Extension,
which
we
may
make.
No,
you
know
we
may
be
interested
in
as
a
larger
community
goal,
but
we
do
recognize
that
there
are
lots
of
other
ways
that
those
needs
are
met
in
our
community.
So
you
looked
at
ways
of
figuring
out
how
we
could
divest
without
making
sure
the
needs
go
unmet.
So
with
all
of
that,
I
just
like
to
say
thanks.
A
Oh
and
I'm,
sorry
I
do
need
to
go
before
well.
Let
me
wrap
up
with
my
thanks
as
well.
I
can't
say
it
better
than
Kristian.
Just
did
it's.
The
strategic
nature
of
these
cuts
are
I.
Think
really
impressed
upon
all
of
us,
as
we
heard
from
our
Commission's
as
well
as
board
members,
and
we
appreciate
all
that
you
do
to
make
our
community
livable
and
healthy
and
vibrant.
A
B
You
madam
chair,
traditionally
some
time
in
march
and
former
board
member
jay
Fassett
used
to
ask
us
the
question
every
day
when
in
March
March
13th
this
year,
we're
providing
an
update
on
where
we
are
in
fiscal
year.
2018
we've
gone
back
and
taken
a
look
at
the
first
eight
months
of
the
year
to
see.
If
there
are
any
trends
we
are
gonna
provide
you
all
a
memo
which
will
get
posted
online
later
today.
It
talks
about
some
adjustments
were
we're.
B
Gonna
we've
noticed
there
will
be
additional
revenue
available
to
the
board
for
consideration
as
part
of
the
budget.
Conversation
of
1
million
dollars
in
one-time
funds,
which
is
fairly
modest
amount
given
given
historically
and
the
genesis
of
those
funds,
are
some
through
a
series
of
revenue
and
expense
adjustments.
I
did
want
to
note
that
the
that
this
year,
I
don't
usually
do
it,
but
I'm
putting
some
expense
savings.
Sort
of
on
the
table.
B
Investment
fund,
so
it'll
be
an
additional
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
available
for
the
board
consistent
with
its
policy.
If
it
chooses
to
allocate
allocated
to
AF
so
bottom
line,
1
million
dollars
in
additional
one-time
funds
and
then
six
hundred
thousand
four
AF.
If
the
board
chooses
to
allocate
it
as
such.
Thank.
I
N
We
every
every
payroll,
we're
running
reports
and
putting
you
know
and
tracking
how
departments
are
spending
when
we're
talking
to
departments
especially
constantly
now,
as
we
move
toward
third
quarter
to
recheck
against
the
sort
of
the
benchmarks
of
mid-year.
So
yes,
this
period
of
time
up
and
through
the
end
of
April
and
for
this
year
well,
every
year,
through
the
end
of
June
or
closely
monitoring,
Department
spends
and.
A
We'll
have
an
opportunity
at
our
next
work
session,
which
will
be
March
19,
Monday
March
19
at
4
p.m.
to
ask
any
follow-up
questions.
We
have
will
give
us
some
time
to
actually
press
this
and
read
that
memo
which
we're
hearing
about
just
now
for
the
first
time
so
we'll
reconvene,
March
19
at
4:00
p.m.
to
talk
about
the
economic,
about
economic
development
with
our
bids
and
partnerships
to
cover
technology
services
and
compensation.
We
anticipate
this
will
be
a
doozy
I
think
might
be
the
technical
term
of
a
work
session.
Yeah.
That's
that's
I!
A
Think
that's
a
the
term
of
art!
Colleagues.

do
now
have
a
