A
I
wanted
to
introduce
the
team
that
is
here
tonight
because
what's
gonna
happen
is
you're
gonna,
ask
a
question:
I'm,
expecting
some
hard
questions
and
some
good
ones
and
all
the
hard
ones
I'm
going
to
deflect
to
the
panel
to
my
right
or
to
the
other
people
in
the
room,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
they
introduce
themselves.
So
we'll
start
right
here.
B
C
B
C
D
A
Okay,
so
what
we're
going
to
do-
and
we
have
some
other
people
over
here
on
the
side-
that
as
they
as
we
need
them-
will
we'll
introduce
them?
What
I
wanted
to
do?
Real,
quick
is
go
around
and
I
want
to
thank
everybody.
We
send
out
an
invitation
to
Commission
chairs.
Some
were
able
to
make
it
some
sent
people
in
their
stead,
but
real,
quick,
I,
guess
Roger.
If
you
want
to
go
around
and
have
just
people
introduce
themselves,
so
people
know
we're
here:
I'm.
T
A
Great,
thank
you
very
much
for
doing
that.
What
I
wanted
to
do
was
it's
about
20
minutes
of
I'm
gonna
just
take
a
few
minutes
and
go
through
a
very
broad
overview
of
what's
included
in
the
CIP
and
strongly
encourage
people
to
go
to
our
website
and
click
on
the
presentation
I
made
before
the
County
Board
a
week
ago.
Saturday
and
also
I
did
another
summary,
which
was
a
shorter
summary
and
talked
about
some
different
issues.
A
Last
night
there
was
a
joint
meeting
between
the
county
board
and
school
board
where
the
school
board
presented
its
potential
CIP.
They
have
not
adopted
one
yet
so,
as
we
were
putting
together
the
CIP
this
time
and
I
want
to
emphasize
to
everybody.
This
is
a
very
important
concept,
which
is
every
two
years
we
get
to
do
the
CIP.
So
we
have
an
opportunity
every
two
years
to
revisit
the
assumptions
that
we
made
two
years
ago
two
years
ago,
our
assumptions
were
actually
rosier
than
they
were
than
they
are
now.
A
There
have
been
a
couple
of
change
circumstances.
Specifically,
the
growth
in
revenue
in
the
county
is
lower
than
what
we
had
predicted
percentages.
A
little
bit
lower,
we
also
have
had
some
changes
in
the
mainly
in
the
transportation
world
that
have
and
I
don't
like
to
use
the
workers.
All
that
often
literally
rocked
our
world.
We
have
some
very
big
changes
there
that
required
some
reprioritizing
of
a
CIP.
So
let
me
go
back
to
sort
of
the
the
beginning,
which
is
the
size
of
the
CIP
on
the
county
side.
A
Right
now,
the
total
funding
is
2.7
7
billion
dollars,
which
is
about
between
40
and
50
million
dollars
less
than
the
Box
we
had
two
years
ago.
So
the
box
is
a
little
bit
small
and
within
that
box,
sort
of
the
fundamental
obligation
that
we
have
was
for
Metro
and
the
deal
that
was
reached
between
the
Commonwealth
of
Virginia
Maryland
and
the
District
of
Columbia
for
a
dedicated
source
of
funding
for
Metro,
which
is
a
very
high
priority
for
the
county
board
and
for
I.
A
Think
for
all
of
us
in
the
in
the
community
required
additional
contributions
from
us
for
Metro.
Actually,
our
contributions
will
be
the
highest
they've
ever
been,
but
an
incremental
increase
in
our
contributions
over
the
course
of
that
ten
years
of
about
a
hundred
between
100
and
110
million
dollars,
which
we
had
set
aside
for
other
items
previously
and
given
that
was
the
number
one
priority
you're
gonna
ask
the
question
like.
Why
is
neighborhood
conservation
at
a
lower
number?
Why
are
why
is
program
B
at
a
lower
number?
A
We
needed
to
cobble
together
the
eight
it's
around
seven
or
eight
million
dollars
each
year
and
bought
extra
bond
authority
to
put
that
on
the
ballot.
That
was
the
place
I
started,
and
not
only
that
for
Metro
there's
an
additional
wrinkle
in
it,
which
is
that
we
receive
funding
from
the
Northern
Virginia
Transportation
Authority
and
the
Northern
Virginia
Transportation
Authority
also
provided
funding
to
Metro.
A
We
have
an
enormous
number
of
assets,
they,
the
you
know
the
number
I
don't
have
to
go
through
all
the
details
with
all
of
you,
but
streets
and
buildings
and
and
the
the
amount
of
infrastructure
we
have
is
enormous
and
so
maintaining
that
state
of
good
repair
then
became
the
next
focus
when
we
were
putting
together
the
CIP,
the
other
foundational
investment
was
with
schools
and
so
with
schools.
What
we
did
given
the
you
know,
burgeoning
school
population.
We
consider
that
of
sort
of
a
fundamental
building
block
of
the
CIP.
A
We
kept
the
numbers
that
we
had
from
two
years
ago
in
the
CIP
for
schools.
So
since
it's
a
ten-year
exercise,
what
was
years
three
through
ten
and
the
last
exercise
became
years,
one
through
eight
and
then
in
years
nine
and
ten.
We
added
about
fifty
million
dollars
in
each
of
those
years
to
meet
the
school
requests
and
I'll.
Tell
you
right
now.
The
amount
of
money
we
have
in
there
for
schools
does
not
match
the
amount
of
money
that
the
school's
was
asking
for
last
night,
they're
asking
for
more
than
that.
A
So
we
can
talk
about
that
separately.
Then,
in
addition
to
the
metro,
instead
of
good
repair
and
some
of
the
conversations
we
had
transportation,
a
big
conversation
in
the
community
forever
about
how
to
do
transportation
along
Columbia
Pike
and
the
county
board,
made
a
decision
two
years
ago
to
a
drop
to
adopt
a
premium
transit
network
which
is
essentially
enhanced
bus
service
along
Columbia
Pike
and
the
costs
associated
with
running
that
bus
service,
which
come
to
over
the
course
of
ten
years
somewhere
between
90
and
100
million
dollars.
A
A
We
use
the
revenue
we
get
from
our
twelve
and
a
half
cent
tax
on
businesses
for
transportation,
and
that
comes
in
on
an
annual
basis
and
we
spend
it
out
on
an
annual
basis,
but
that
money
two
years
ago,
rather
than
going
for
operating
costs
of
a
plan
that
hadn't
been
developed,
was
also
going
to
other
transportation
projects.
So
you
can
see
transportation
was
getting
squeezed
a
lot
of
different
ways.
A
Then
there
were
other
projects
where
the
board
has
either
awarded
a
contract,
for
example,
for
the
lubber
run
community
center
or
for
the
long
long
park.
Aquatics
facility
awarded
a
contract,
and
we
have
obligations
where
we've
started
on
those
projects
and
I'm
committed
to
carrying
through
on
them,
as
is
the
board,
so
those
are
included
in
there
and
then
there
were
additional
projects
which
I'll
put
into
a
category
of
existing
commitments
on
the
part
of
the
board,
one
of
them
and
I.
A
If
any
of
you
have
the
joy
of
being
involved
in
the
Four
Mile
Run
valley
process,
Caroline,
the
Jenny
Dean
Park
is
an
example
there,
which
is
that
the
board's
committed
to
a
plan
and
investments
immediately,
starting
in
fiscal,
this
fiscal
year
and
initial
bond,
a
bonding
authority
for
the
park
at
Jenny,
Dean
and
also
Fire
Station,
eight,
which
was
something
where
we've
had
we've
gone
so
far
through
two
task
force's
with
the
community
about
locating
it
and
we
purchased
some
property
to
expand
fire
station.
Eight,
the
that
was
what
you
know.
A
That
was
where
our
commitments
meant
went.
There's
a
lot
of
other
detail.
I
don't
mean
to
by
not
mentioning,
for
example,
there's
a
facility
on
and
on
South
the
Irving
Street
I
think
the
South
Irving
Street,
which
is
a
residential
facility
for
residential
program
center
for
people
who
are
need
assistance
with
disabilities,
which
is
literally
we're
closing
off
rooms
in
that
building,
because
they're
not
habitable.
That's
something
that
sort
of
is
risen
to
the
top,
and
there
are
a
few
other
small
things
in
there
that
are
included.
A
A
But
I
wanted
to
give
you
a
sense
of
the
overall
package
that
we
put
together
and
some
of
the
stresses-
and
one
last
thing
before
we
finish
up,
which
is
that
that
size
of
that
box
is
determined,
as
I
said,
a
little
bit
by
our
revenue.
But
we
have
a
lot
of
conversation
about
this.
What's
called
the
ten
percent
limit,
which
is
that
our
general
fund
expenditures
there's
a
total
whatever
that
comes
to
in
our
budget,
we
have
a
self-imposed
and
a
very
worthwhile
limit.
A
A
that
says
no
more
than
10%
of
our
general
fund
expenditures
will
go
for
debt
service
to
meet
our
those
obligations
so
that
debt
service
alone,
which
comes
right
off
the
top,
is
growing
over
the
10-year
time
frame
and
I.
Don't
remember
the
numbers
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
I
think
it's
growing
from
just.
A
Yeah,
the
debt
ratio
is
growing
from
nine
to
nine
point.
Nine
five
percent
so
a
little
bit
too
close
for
my
comfort,
but
that's
what
we
had
to
do
so
with
that
who
wants
to
go
first
who's
going
to
raise
their
hand,
you
just
scratched
your
chin,
but
I,
don't
consider
that
a
hand
raise
anybody
in
the
audience.
Have
a
question
for
me:
bill
you're
gonna
get
the
microphone
now
this
bill
this
bill
over
here
and
then
we
could
go
to
that
bill.
I'll
go
to
that!
Well,
we'll
do
a
bill
statement.
First,
yes,
I'm.
U
C
V
P
H
Breslin
mark
you
talked
about
Metro,
which
is
obviously
very
important.
You
also
talked
about
the
Columbia
Pike
efforts,
which
again
is
very
important.
The
other
thought,
though,
is
how
do
we
get
to
those
major
pieces
of
transportation,
essentially
the
last
mile
through
the
neighborhoods,
and
how
do
we
enhance
TD
transportation
demand
management
if
we
have
difficulty
getting
from
our
homes
to
those
major
pieces
of
transportation,
so.
A
I'll
give
you
the
first
part
of
the
answer
and
then
Dennis
can
add
on
or
subtract
which
is
to
get
to
the
major
corridors
you
actually,
what
you
need
is
you
need
neighborhood
streets
that
work
well
and
provide
access
and
I
know
Pam's
over
here.
You
need
sidewalks
that
are
walkable
and
you
need
streets
that
streets
that
are
safe,
I
will
I
will
say
that
when,
when
I
say
we're
not
doing
anything
new
that
we
had
thought
we
were
doing
two
years
ago,
there
is
a
definite
switch
between
this
CIP
and
the
one.
A
D
We
have
long-standing
commitments
by
the
county
board
on
the
Columbia
Pike
card
or
Pentagon
City
Crystal
City,
Potomac
Yard
places
like
Rosslyn,
which
produce
a
lot
of
our
commercial
real
estate
tax
revenue.
Those
investments
are
there
in
the
CIP
alone,
sometimes
a
little
bit
smaller,
but
those
investments
remain
programs
like
neighborhood,
Complete,
Streets,
walk
Arlington
bike
Arlington
did
not
get
eliminated,
but
they
were
trimmed.
A
So
for
yeah
for
the
neighborhood
conservation
we
had
last
last
time
we
went
through
in
the
CIP
we
had
I
think
it
was
six
million
dollars
each
to
two
years,
so
we
had
a
12
12
million
dollar
bond,
and
this
year
that's
cut
back
to
two
million
dollars
each
year.
So
it's
a
four
million
dollar
bond
and
then
there's
a
small
amount
of
1.4
million
for
Complete
Streets.
A
That
is
not
an
adequate
amount
of
money
to
keep
pace
with
the
program
and
I'm
gonna
I'll
tell
you,
we
do
have
balances
available
and
we
need
to
work
through
those
balances,
but
I
know.
There's
several
people
in
this
room
who
signed
a
letter
to
me
saying
the
money
should
actually
be
increased.
I
wish
I
could
have
done
that,
but
this
is
a
matter
of
making
choices,
and
that
is
one
of
the
choices
I
made
and
I'm
sure
that
that
will
be
a
vigorous
part
of
the
conversation
in
front
of
the
board
but
I.
A
G
W
So
the
I'll
start
with
the
squeeze,
so
the
squeeze
for
us
is,
is
land
acquisition
and
similar
to
what
Mark
just
said
about
NC.
The
the
plan
of
attack
is
to
use
existing
balances,
but
typically,
we've
had
three
million
dollars
per
bond,
and
in
this
proposed
CIP
there
is
no
new
land
acquisition
dollars.
That
doesn't
mean
we're
not
going
to
be
acquiring
things.
We
do
have
a
program
balance.
Some
of
the
land
we
get
is
also
comes
from
site
plans
or
form
based
code
or
other
kinds
of
opportunities.
W
We
are
very
fortunate
also,
as
Mark
was
saying,
to
have
some
of
those
things
that
are
high
priorities,
because
we've
just
completed
plans
for
them,
so
the
Jenny
Dean
project
is
significant.
The
board
just
adopted
the
the
framework
plan
a
couple
weeks
ago
and
where
we'll
be
bringing
the
the
master
plan,
the
final
design
guidelines
in
September
and
then
go
right
into
design
and
building
it,
and
this
is
something
the
community
has
been
waiting
a
long
time
for
and
invested.
W
A
lot
of
effort
in
our
hp+
is
another
one
for
us,
as
is
going
down
by
the
Wilson
school
and
the
fire
station
and
the
Penzance
development.
There
are
three
different
Park
elements,
and
so
that
is
that
is
in
there
and
our
capital.
Maintenance
is
at
a
pretty
good
level
as
well.
So
I
think
we're
very
fortunate
in
that
there
are
certainly
some
other
things
that
have
gotten
pushed
and
pulled
and
moved
around
within
the
CIP,
but
I
think
in
general.
The
priority
projects
are
still
in
there.
W
A
Thing
I
one
thing
I
would
add
about
on
land
there.
Actually
there
is
no
money
for
acquiring
new
properties,
but
we
do
have
eight
million
dollars.
We've
added
to
the
CIP
this
time
through
for
the
potential
acquisition
of
the
weta
parcel
at
down
a
four
mile
run,
which
would
be
used
for
open
space
Suzanne.
Oh,
you
came
late.
O
Okay,
we're
spending
30
million
dollars
on
astroturf
we're
spending,
70
million
dollars
on
a
swimming
palace,
and
we've
got
about
what
seven
hundred
plus
kids
a
year
coming
in
each
and
every
year,
new
students
into
ApS
I
understand
people
wanting
to
finish
what
they
start.
But
at
what
point
do
we
start
reevaluating
priorities
and
and
kind
of
reprioritizing?
A
A
I
think
that
we
have
a
fundamental
problem
of
if
we
back
out
on
that
I'm
telling
you
nobody
in
the
contracting
community
is
going
to
bid,
especially
on
a
design-build
contract
with
us
for
the
next
five
to
ten
years,
and
you
mentioned
the
challenges
we
have
with
schools.
I
mean
the
the
contracting
community
doesn't
see.
Arlington
public
schools
in
Arlington
County
is
any
different.
If
you
have
a
contract,
you've
awarded
and
you're
following
through
and
Cokely
is
the
company
they've
forgone
business
for
six
months.
A
Multi-Million
dollar
opportunities
and
they've
invested
a
lot
of
money.
We
would
not
only
be
involved
in
protected
litigation
with
them.
We
probably
wouldn't
be
able
to
do
a
lot
of
the
business
we
want
to
do
and
our
future
projects
would
go
up
in
price,
because
people
would
build
that
in
as
a
risk
premium
and
they're
doing
the
bid
so
I'm
very
uncomfortable
with
that
I
think
where
there
are
some
things
that
are
settled.
A
We
have
to
move
on,
and
I
would
say
this,
that
if
we
did
that
there
then
who's
to
have
any
faith
that
any
decision
we
made
about
a
school
or
any
other
kind
of
facility
once
there's
a
contract
award
would
stay.
Now
you
do
point
out
something
which
I
absolutely
completely
understand.
Given
our
previous
commitments,
there
are
obligations
on
the
books
that
crowd
out
our
ability
to
do
new
things,
and
that
is
the
situation
we
face,
and
so
with
that
those
are
some
of
the
choices
that
I
made
in
my
proposal.
A
X
A
So
how
do?
How
do
we
plan
to
address
the
gap?
The
question
was:
how
do
we
plan
to
address
the
gap
between
the
school
stated
needs
and
the
amount
of
funding
we
have
so
I
would
encourage
you
all
to
go
back
and
listen
to
the
joint
work
session.
We
had
last
night
with
the
County,
Board
and
school
board.
A
It's
going
to
require
choices
and
I'm,
not
downplaying
the
significance
of
this,
but
each
year
in
the
proposed
CIP
from
schools,
there's
a
seat
deficit
either
at
the
elementary
level
middle
school
level
and
for
most
of
the
years
at
the
high
school
level
and
relocatable
czar
part
of
the
strategy.
I
think
that
the
aspirations
and
I
don't
mean
that
in
a
poor
way,
the
aspirations
for
the
schools
to
be
able
to
meet
the
seating
capacity
is
built
on
a
presumption
that
there
would
be
no
relocatable
I.
A
Think
that
relocatable
czar,
a
part
of
our
land
scape
for
at
least
the
next
10
years
and
I,
would
say
this
because
the
schools
have
an
obligation.
Everyone
will
get
an
education,
I'm,
really
proud
of
the
education
they
get
in
the
county
and
I.
Think
the
county
board
has
done
an
enormous
amount
to
provide
assistance,
financial
assistance
to
the
schools
to
make
sure
that
the
education
that's
going
on
with
the
teachers
and
the
principals
and
the
students
it
may
not
be
in
a
new
brick-and-mortar
structure.
Sometimes
it's
going
to
be
in
some
of
these
relocatable.
A
It's
going
to
happen
and
those
kids
that
are
coming
in
the
seven
eight
hundred
kids
each
year
will
get
an
education
and
I'm
proud
to
say
that
it's
going
to
be
a
great
education
kind
of
education.
I
think
that's
really
been
attractive
to
a
lot
of
businesses
who
are
thinking
about
relocating
to
the
county.
So
now
I'm
gonna,
let
Jim
Feaster
go
right
ahead.
The.
R
V
The
10%
represents
a
commitment
by
the
county
to
maintain
conservative
budgeting
and
conservative
debt
management
over
its
course
of
doing
business.
The
rating
agencies,
who
actually
are
representing
how
we
do
our
business
to
the
investment
community,
see
those
as
sort
of
constraints
and
approaches
that
we
will
use
in
order
to
then
allow
us
to
earn
a
good
management
sort
of
seal
of
approval
from
all
three
of
the
rating
agencies.
The
10%
is
something
they
view
is
both
conservative
and
prudent.
V
If
we
were
to
go
above
that,
there
are
two
effects,
one
is
it's
akin
to
going
above
your
credit
limit
on
your
credit
card.
If
you
go
above
sure,
you
can
borrow
against
it,
you're
just
going
to
be
paying
higher
amounts
for
debt
going
forward.
The
other
impact
is,
if
you
did
that
on
your
credit
card,
your
FICO
score
is
likely
to
go
down,
which
means
your
borrowing
costs
are
going
to
go
up.
V
If
you
can
get
the
ability
to
borrow
the
same
thing
happens
to
municipalities
the
ability
for
us
to
borrow
at
the
really
fantastic
rates
that
we
have
now
would
be
impacted.
It
would
mean
that
our
servicing
of
debt
going
forward
would
be
more
expensive,
but
it
would
also
signal
to
the
investment
community
that
we
are
willing
to
violate
those
prudent
rules
for
how
we
manage
our
finances
in
order
to
spend
more
money
and
having
been
in
communities
that
have
done
that
and
lost
their
ratings.
It's
really
difficult
to
recover
from
that.
In
the
future
case.
V
In
point,
I
was
in
Philadelphia
when
Philadelphia
lost
its
bond
rating
in
2008
in
2009.
It
took
many
many
years
and
the
costs
on
a
day
on
an
annual
basis
for
that
community
to
finance
its
debt
were
significant
and
crowded
out
other
expenditures
that
we
might
have
been
able
to
make
from
our
general
fund.
So
there
are
impacts
to
that
at.
A
The
only
the
only
thing
I
would
add
and
I
Steve
touched
on
this-
is
that
and
I
touched
on
this
last
night,
which
was
when
we
do
our
budget.
The
first
thing
first
bill
we
ever
have
to
pay
is
our
debt
obligation
that
comes
right
off
the
top
and
in
the
proposed
CIP
I
have
that
debt
obligation
helped
me
here.
Jason
is
growing
by
about
thirty
million
dollars
over
the
life
of
the
ten
years,
combined
bringing
it
to
a
total
of
oh
it's
over
a
hundred
million.
It's.
B
A
So
that
alone,
I'm
telling
you
right
now
and
I
mentioned
this
to
the
county
board
last
night,
with
the
ten
percent
limit
over
those
ten
years
with
a
growth
of
thirty
million
doll.
That's
a
four
to
five
cent
increase
on
the
tax
rate
right
there
there's
what
that's
already
built
into
what
we're
doing
and
that
it's
gonna
crowd
out.
That's
built
in
I
feel,
like
you
have
a
limit
you
stick
to
it.
A
You
can
always
there's
always
an
argument:
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
slippery
slope
arguments
with
you,
but
if
you
move
it
once,
then,
why
can't
you
move
it
again?
And
so
it's
a
discipline
and
I
think
as
much
as
I
love.
Our
community
I
think
having
some
discipline
is
a
good
thing
for
it,
because
our
desires
exceed
our
resources
every
year,
regardless
of
what
the
limit
is
so.
A
E
Mark
a
question
not
so
much
on
a
project
or
something
specifically
about
Crystal
City,
but
close
to
it,
a
big
big
picture
issue
when
you
now
find
yourself
in
having
to
take
the
right
measures
in
the
tough
budget
situation
budget
crunch,
which
you're
furthermore,
have
indicated
to
us
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
situation.
We
have
to
expect
to
continue
for
a
number
of
years.
Then,
of
course,
you
have
already
noted
that
there
are
prior
commitments.
A
So
I,
that's
I,
think
a
very
thoughtful
point
and
let
me
see
if
I
can
offer
some
thoughts
about
that.
I
might
ask
Dennis
to
weigh
in
a
little
bit
about.
We
still
have
we've
reduced
the
percentage
a
little
bit
for
our
tax
increment
financing
in
Crystal
City,
but
we
still
have
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
of
investment
going
into
there
and
other
places
in
the
community.
Remember
what
I
said:
it's
a
2.8
billion
dollar
CIP
and
a
lot
of
that's
going
from
maintain
what
we
have,
but
we
also
have
these
commitments
to
previous
investments.
A
I
think
that
we,
you
know
we
are,
as
you
mentioned,
or
as
I
mentioned,
the
beginning,
I'm
hoping
that
two
years
from
now,
at
least
on
the
cap
side,
the
conversation
will
be
different.
Let
me
tell
you
why
I
hope
it
will
be
different.
What
really
knocked
us
off
our
feet!
This
time
is
what
happened
at
the
General
Assembly,
the
General
Assembly.
As
you
know,
anybody
here
follow
politics.
A
General
Assembly,
as
you
know,
is
in
the
state
of
flux.
As
to
you
know
what
what
their
approach
is
to
taxation
and
I.
Think
two
years
from
now
we
could
be
in
a
very
different
situation.
So
I
am
NOT,
optimistic
I'm.
Just
telling
you
there
could
be
that
those
changes
there's
also
the
state
is
gonna,
have
to
address.
D
Just
say
when
we
were
looking
at
all
of
constraints
that
we
were
faced
in
this
CIP
cycle,
the
number
one
remaining
source
of
local
revenue
and
the
transportation
program
is
the
commercial
real
estate
tax,
which
is
for
basically
new
facilities
and
new
services,
and
we
take
that
very
seriously.
Arlington
is
prospers
when
it's
commercial,
mixed
use,
districts
prosper.
D
D
You
may
not
know
this,
but
over
fifty
eight
percent
of
all
households
live
in
those
three
corridors
and
about
95
percent
of
all
jobs,
and
almost
all
of
our
retail
services
are
in
those
locations,
and
so
we
are
trying
to
use
our
commercial
real
estate
tax
leveraging
outside
sources
where
we
can
to
make
those
investments
in
the
long
term.
Okay,.
T
A
Want
it
you
want
to
pass
that
on
to
me
George,
you
know
now:
I
have
a
microphone
dude,
where's,
Duke,
Duke
and
I
had
a
conversation
about
this.
He
said
you
know
you
might
get
a
call
from
I
forget
what
was
the
neighborhood
Waverly
Hills
because
of
what
happened
on
May
22nd,
not
only
Waverly
Hills,
but
there
were
a
number
of
places
in
the
county.
We
had
a
lot
of
rain
on
the
22nd.
We
have
that
whole
week
was
a
lot
of
rain.
It
came,
it
was
a.
A
It's
a
very
difficult
message
for
me
to
deliver
to
people,
which
is
that
these
storms
are
occurring
with
more
frequency
and
it's
a
real
question
of
resiliency
for
the
community
and
I
and
I.
Don't
think
the
way
we've
actually
done
a
very
good
job
of
addressing
it.
The
real
problem
is
that
we
have
70
years
worth
of
work
to
catch
up
on.
So
a
good
question
and
I
think
we
should
have
a
lot
more
conversation
about
that
Alexandra
hi.
How
are
you
nice
of
you
to
visit.
Y
Hi,
my
name
is
Alex
hi.
My
name
is
Alexandra
potion
I'm
the
neighborhood
conservation
of
i3
Commission
Chair,
and
my
question
obviously
is
about
the
change
in
our
allocation
this
year
and
how
that
it's
going
to
affect
projects
moving
forward,
and
the
fear
is,
is
that
I
understand
all
these
the
reasons
behind
the
budget
cuts,
but
at
the
same
time,
obviously,
when
you
make
changes,
the
fear
is:
is
that
once
you've
made
changes
in
this
hope
that
the
changes
will
increase
or
whatever
the
case
may
be?
Y
Y
I
Y
A
Think
that's
a
reasonable
aspiration
for
any
chair
to
have
so
we
have
in
in
the
CIP
and
I
know.
We've
talked
about
this
before
you
and
I,
but
I
have
this
I
need
to
go
back
to
and
it's
it's
a
refuge
I'm
taking,
which
is
that
two
years
from
now
I'm
hoping
I
can
come
back
with
some
of
these
pressures
relieved
and
get
get
the
funding
levels
for
these
programs
up
higher.
We
have
four
nc
and
I.
Think
Steve.
Do
you
have
the
numbers
over
the
ten-year
period.
A
Yes,
so
we'll
find
those
no
numbers
art
by
the
time
we
get
to
years,
nine,
nine
and
ten
we're
back
to
where
we
are,
and
the
question
is:
will
we
actually
get
there?
We
can
afford
to
get
there
by
year's
nine
and
ten
I'm
hoping
we
get
there
a
lot
more
quickly.
As
far
as
what's
going
to
happen
to
the
program
right
now,
there
are
balances.
A
If
we,
we
have
improved
our
project
execution
a
year
and
a
half
or
two
years
from
now,
where
the
well
will
run
dry
or
relatively
dry
they'll
only
be
two
million
to
four
million
dollars,
which
means
rather
than
doing
and
the
projects
are
coming
in
now,
with
least
you
know,
half
a
million
or
a
million
dollars,
rather
than
doing
six
projects
will
be
down
to
doing
two
projects
and
you'll
have
all
this
energy
that's
built
up
in
the
neighborhoods
invested
in
coming
up
with
those
choices.
It's
not
that
we
won't
be
doing
it.
I
Thanks
Brenna
mark
in
over
the
years
I've
been
involved
with
some
of
the
projects
that
come
forward
from
ApS
for
schools,
either
new
school,
new
building
or
additions
to
buildings,
and
every
time
we
go
through
that
there's
usually
needs
expressed
by
the
neighborhoods
in
which
these
changes
by
ApS
are
located
and
a
lot
of
times.
They
have
to
do
with
des
changes,
whether
it's
improved,
sidewalks,
more
signage,
different
things
like
that.
That
seem
to
be
consequences
of
what
ApS
is
doing
so,
and
we
don't
need
to
answer
this
tonight,
but
I've
been
thinking.
I
A
Think
you've
hit
upon
an
area
that
we
actually
talked
a
little
bit
about
last
night
when
the
county
school
board
work
together,
which
is
I,
think
we've
done
a
much
better
job
as
a
community
over
the
last
five
to
ten
years.
At
talking
about
that-
and
we
did
actually
have
one
item
on
the
referendum
two
years
ago
about
funding
the
parking
structure
at
the
Ellis
Fleet
Elementary
School,
which
was
a
bond
referendum
for
voters,
because
that
that
parking
structure
was
going
to
help
help
both
county
and
schools
and
the
neighborhood.
A
But
the
point
you
raised
about
schools
likes
to
say
some
of
the
extra
now
they're
externalities
of
what
they're
doing
in
the
community
which
are
do
we
need
wider
sidewalks?
Do
we
need,
for
example,
bigger
gyms
in
some
of
our
schools
when
we're
building
them
to
make
sure
that,
when
we're
going
through
it
that
we
can
get
use
for
the
community,
that
is
I
think
a
fair
ask
of
the
county
to
put
some
funds
in
there.
A
I
will
tell
you
right
now
that
in
my
CIP
there
is
zero
dollars
for
the
joint
fund
to
add
to
it.
There's
fun.
There's
money
in
there
right
now
it
will
require
some
choices.
I
think
maybe
will
require
in
some
of
these
projects
that
we
won't
be
able
to
partner
with
schools,
as
we
have
in
the
past
will
have
to
see.
A
That
is
a
real
challenge
and
I
think
you're,
seeing
that
in
the
Career
Center
conversation,
a
lot
of
people
want
the
Career
Center,
there's
a
fourth
comprehensive
high
school
and
they
want
some
people
refer
to
as
amenities.
We
haven't
even
gotten
to
the
point.
If
that
is
a
school,
that's
chosen.
What's
going
to
happen
with
the
sidewalks
and
Walter
Reed,
what's
going
to
happen
on
Columbia
Pike
they'll
be
a
big
expense
there
and
that
hasn't
been
calculated
into
the
project.
So
it's
a
real
challenge.
A
S
Yes,
it's
exciting
to
be
here
and
I.
Just
Dennis
recently
came
to
one
of
our
meetings
and
we
really
appreciate
that
and
we
met
with
the
ped
advisory
committee
and
I
think
just
I
had
just
spent
three
years
in
Seattle
that
had
the
same
sort
of
really
complicated
time
and
then
is
in
a
different
position
now
and
I
just
think.
S
L
Is
there
discussion
about
the
risk
we're
assuming
based
on
you,
talked
about
the
underlying
assumptions
right
with
this
with
the
new
CIP?
Has
there
been
not
tats
it,
but
actually
saying?
Okay
if
we
go
down
this
path,
these
are
the
risks
and
you've
already
talked
about
some
with
the
storm
storm
issues.
So
just
wanted
to
know
if
you
could
give
us
some
perspective
in
terms
of
where
those
discussions
have
been,
and
maybe
it
was
that
we
can
look
online
when
you
know.
A
And
so
I'm
just
gonna
step
back
a
little
bit
figuratively
and
literally
and
say
that
in
putting
together
a
10-year
CIP
that
has
2.8
billion
dollars
in
investments.
From
my
perspective,
the
places
where
I
have
some
concerns
that
we
may
not
be
fully
addressing
some
of
the
things
I
mentioned.
One
of
them
was
in
storm.
Water
I
have
concerns
about
our
not
about
our
basic
infrastructure,
maintaining
a
state
of
good
repair,
but
our
ability
to
invest
in
what
we
need
to
do
is
a
growing
community.
A
So
I
think
that
technology
is
another
area
where
we
have
I
haven't
really
talked
a
lot
about
it,
but
it's
the
core
underpinning
of
what
we
do.
There's
not
going
to
be
our
ability.
We
need
to
make
some
changes
in
the
way
we
store
our
data
and
move
things
off
into
the
cloud.
We're
gonna
have
to
hit
the
pause
button
on
that
for
right
now,
not
on
internet
or
cyberattack,
and
security
will
always
invest.
A
We
have
there
what
we
need
to
have
there,
but
there
are
some
things
that
we're
going
to
have
to
delay,
but
we're
not
going
to
delay
the
IT
investments
there
related
to
health,
life
and
safety.
But
there
are
things
that
we're
going
to
have
to
put
off
and
I
think
I
would
just
encourage.
People
will
go
into
what
some
might
consider
excruciating
detail
when
we
have.
A
Q
A
So
I'll
address
your
question
on
the
following
way,
which
is
that
two
years
ago,
when
we
proposed
the
CIP,
we
had
no
money
set
aside
for
the
potential
acquisition
of
the
weta
parcel,
though
I've
included
in
the
CIP.
This
time
we
actually
entered
into
a
letter
of
intent
with
with
Weta.
Well,
we
might
have,
they
haven't
figured
out
what
they
want
to
do,
yet
we
might
have
had
to
literally
deliver
to
them
eight
million
dollars
in
cash
as
early
as
six
months
ago
or
a
year
ago.
A
Some
of
that
flexibility,
to
be
honest
with
you
is
gone,
and
if
we
have
major
infrastructure
investments
that
we
need
to
do
beyond
what
we're
doing
right
now,
that
money
is
going
to
have
to
come
from
another
source
in
order
to
enable
us
to
do
the
investments
that
might
be
required
for
additional
construction
or
transportation
improvements
or
schools,
or
anything
that
might
come
with
I'm,
not
even
talking
about
Amazon.
That
comes
with
additional
businesses
that
come
into
the
county.
X
D
The
county's
long-standing
of
general
Land,
Use
Plan,
is
based
on
our
transportation
strategy,
which
is
to
build
on
top
of
our
transit
corridors.
So
if
you
look
at
housing
units
being
developed,
almost
all
the
new
net
new
housing
units
in
the
county
are
in
the
three
corridors:
Columbia
Pike,
Rosslyn,
Boston
corridor
and
the
JT
car-
or
there
is
very
small
incremental
growth
in
residential
neighborhoods
housing
sizes
are
getting
bigger,
but
that
doesn't
mean
more
households.
A
Think
a
pretty
healthy
compilation
of
the
4,000
comments
we
received
I
think
it
was
during
March.
It
was
mostly
the
period
of
time
February
and
March
about
people
about
priorities
that
they
felt
were
important
in
community.
So
additional
questions,
Duke
turret
I'll,
get
to
you
and
then
I'll
come
back
over
here,
okay
and
then
we'll
go
mark.
M
Taking
off
a
bit
from,
we
had
our
Civic
Federation
banquet,
where
we
talked
about
growth,
the
CIO
I
realized,
yet
the
issue
of
the
box
and
the
10%
you
know
has
got
you.
You've
got
your
hands
tight,
but
one
of
the
things
is
on
a
long-term
basis.
Cips
also
need
to
address
part
of
the
issue
about
the
growth
and
it
came
out
in
a
previous
question,
but
we
weren't
we
might
have
63,000
additional
folks
here.
M
M
But
the
side
thing
on
that
that
came
out
in
the
conversation
at
the
banquet
is
proffers
or
no
proffers,
because
there's
you
know
development
fees
as
a
way
to
bring
in
the
monies,
especially
for
schools,
parks,
public
safety
and
other
areas
that
may
take
some
of
the
pressure
off
the
CIP
right.
So
there's.
A
Two
two
questions
in
there,
so
let
me
see
if
I
can
answer
the
first
one,
which
was
about
the
growth
in
our
community
that
is
currently
I
would
say,
anticipated
that
that's
assumed
in
our
general
land-use
plan
between
now
and
the
year.
2040
the
growth
is
over.
It's
an
another
least.
You
said
60,000
I,
don't
know
what
the
exact
number
is.
We
will
have
to
figure
out
between
now
and
then
and
we'll
have
to
scale
our
investments
in
order
to
make
sure
that
we
can
afford
what
we've
laid
out
in
that
plan.
A
The
second
point
you
brought
up
about
proffers-
and
this
is
something
that
I
feel
very
strongly
about.
Personally,
not
professionally.
This
is
personally
Steve
feels
strongly
about
it
professionally,
which
is
that
anytime
there's
a
project
that
comes
into
the
county.
Let's
say
we
because
it's
gone
through
our
process,
which
at
times
can
be
lengthy
right,
Jane,
that
when
a
project
is
built,
and
it's
throws
off
tax
revenue,
commercial
tax
revenue,
we
have
an
understanding
that
there's
a
percentage
of
that.
That
goes
to
schools.
Forty
six
point,
six
percent
of
that.
A
That
is
a
wonderful
arrangement
for
the
schools
and
for
the
community
as
we
continue
to
grow
and
as
our
tax
base
grows
and
as
the
size
of
the
box
grows,
that's
the
way
to
get
more
resources
for
our
capital
investment
plan.
I.
Don't
think
that
going
to
developers
and
saying
give
us
a
little
bit
of
this,
and
a
little
bit
of
that
through
proffers
is
going
to
somehow
magically
make
them
flush
with
more
cash.
I
think
that
we've
got
to
do
the
best
or
the
current
system.
A
We
have
to
make
sure
that
we
are
striking
the
right
balance
and
development
and
the
money
that
flows
to
our
Treasury.
It
comes
right
now
in
a
way
which
I
think
works
very
well
and
I
wouldn't
discourage
you
from
emulating,
what's
happening
in
these
other
jurisdictions
that
use
proffers,
who
have
run
into
an
incredible
amount
of
trouble.
Given
the
legislation
that
the
General
Assembly
passed,
I
think
the
system
we
have
up
with
incentive.
Zoning
right
now
works
quite
well.
A
A
N
Okay,
as
a
car-free
person
in
Arlington
I'm
going
to
go
back
to
transportation
and
obviously
I,
you
know
we
have
to
be
a
lot
more
creative
with
the
growth
we're
gonna
have
about
our
transportation
options:
I'm.
Sorry,
the
lady
from
Seattle
left,
because
they
we
could.
We
could
take
a
page
from
them,
but
specifically
I
want
to
ask
about
the
art
bus.
N
We
have
this
facilities,
expense
for
housing,
the
art,
bus
and
you
know,
don't
we
need
to
take
a
look
at
the
operational
efficiency
and
make
sure
that
we're
not
overlapping,
LaMotta
I
mean
obviously
provides
a
useful
service,
but-
and
just
to
give
you
an
example,
sometimes
the
the
55
is
running
the
same
route
as
the
three
on
a
weekdays
and
obviously
you
know
we're
we're
duplicating
service
there
and
we
could
take
a
closer
look
at
the
official
operational
efficiency
of
it.
If
we're
gonna
make
this
outlay
in
the
CIP.
A
And
one
second
I'll,
let
Dennis
address
the
specifics
of
the
potential
overlap,
but
I
did
want
to
mention
one
thing
which
I
did
not
highlight
in
my
original
remarks,
which
is
that
two
years
ago
we
were
searching
for
places
to
park
our
buses
to
improve
operational
efficiency.
We
have
identified
a
location
in
Shirlington
we're
in
negotiations
currently
with
the
property
owner
there,
I'm
hoping
and
expecting
that
they'll
the
negotiations
will
end
satisfactorily.
A
D
D
We
are
required
by
the
state
to
update
it
every
year
and
to
look
at
efficiencies.
Art
was
created
because
Metro
bus
did
not
actually
cover
all
parts
of
the
county
and
if
you
look
at
what's
happening
with
Metro,
the
entire
focus
is
on
rebuilding
the
rail
system.
It's
actually
not
on
the
bus
system,
with
very
few
exceptions.
So
if,
for
example,
if
you're
on
Lee
Highway
sure
the
3.y
runs
at
the
AM
and
PM
peak
periods,
Monday
through
Friday,
you
go
out
there
on
weekends,
you
go
out
there
midday.
There
is
no
service.
D
A
T
C
These
fix
our
costs
at
the
front
end
and
protect
us
from
some
of
the
growth
that
we
have
had
some
in
our
more
conventional
design-bid-build
projects.
There
is
an
additional
cost
factor.
We
cope
with
these
days,
which
is
the
stormwater
management
requirements,
have
increased
to
meet
RMS
for
environmental
requirements.
So
some
of
that
is
a
factor
that
does
cost
raises
the
cost
per
square
foot
from
what
it
was
10
or
15
years
ago.
C
A
Yeah
and
I
think
the
the
other
thing
is
I'm
really
happy
with
these
new
tools
we
have
for
design-build
and
construction
manager
at
risk,
but
one
of
the
things
as
schools
and
county
are
facing
is
pressure
for
the
cost
of
projects.
I
mean
the
inflation
has
been
relatively
low
across
the
economy,
but
in
the
auction
industry
it
has
been
there's
been
a
lot
of
pressure.
There's
been
a
lot
of
pent
up
demand
and
we're
seeing
that
in
some
increased
costs,
so
I
would
refer
and
I
forget
the
gentleman's
name.
A
You
know
we're
trying
our
best
to
follow
through
on
some
of
the
thoughts
of
the
community
facilities
study,
which
is
that
when
we
build
and
we
get
the
opportunity
to
build,
we
should
try
to
build
multiple,
multiple
uses,
if
at
all
possible,
when
we're
doing
it
so
that
we
can
be
efficient
about
it.
But
that's
that's
a
real
challenge
with
schools
because
we
build
a
school.
The
school's
got
to
be
a
school
it
can't.
You
know
you
can't
have
people
living
in
the
school
except
for
the
teachers,
which
was
a
proposal.
A
O
Going
forward,
how
will
the
county
ensure
that
CIP
projects
last
at
least
as
long
as
their
bond
repayment
period
using
Palatine,
skate
park
as
an
example?
It
was
completed
in
2004
and
yet
by
October
2015.
The
Sports
Commission
noted
that
the
park
is
ten
years
old
and
falling
apart.
Now
that
the
county
is
set
to
spend
another
2.2
million,
of
which
1.9
million
is
CIP
funds
to
rehab
the
park,
how
much
per
user
are
we
spending
to
rehab,
okay,.
A
W
I
will
say
that,
because
of
the
heavy
use
and
abuse
at
the
skate
park
takes
because
of
the
kind
of
activities
the
the
grinding
and
the
jumping
and
those
kinds
of
things
it's
actually
being
replaced
on
schedule
for
when
it
should
have
been
replaced
for
the
concrete.
So
we
assume
we
have
done
as
has
facilities
a
capital
asset
management
program.
We
look
at
how
long
facilities
should
last
and
so
again
this
replacement
is
about
on
track
for
when
you
would
have
had
to
replace
that
facility.
A
Other
thing,
which
is
that
and
I,
will
tell
you
that
we
never
can
do
a
perfect
job
of
matching
up
the
maturities
on
bonds
with
the
actual
lifespan
of
the
projects,
but
most
of
our
facilities
in
the
county
and
I
think
I'm
thinking
back
to
fire
station
8,
which
is
vintage,
1963
I,
believe
many
of
our
facilities
have
gone
way
past
the
maturities
we
have
ever
had
on
the
bonds
and
we
find
ourselves
in
many
conversations
about
well,
we
purchased
a
piece
of
property.
For
example,
it
came
up
during
Thomas,
Jefferson
middle
school.
A
We
purchased
a
property
with
Park
bond
50
years
ago
and
we're
still
using
it
for
this
and
I
think
we
do
a
pretty
good
job
of
trying
to
match
up
the
projects
with
the
with
the
financing
that
we
do.
We
can
always
probably
do
a
little
bit
better,
but
we
work
on
that.
Pretty
hard
Brian
is
pointing
to
her
wrist,
which
means
that
she
has
a
watch
on
I'm
willing
to
go
like
another
10
minutes.
Okay,
I
want
to
try
to
handle
all
the
questions,
at
least
in
the
in
the
room.
F
F
I
did
I
did
and
I
became
the
alternate
for
the
Arts
Commission
for
Douglas
Park
and
for
Shirlington
dogs
and
I.
Also
and
I've
lived
and
I
grew
up
in
Douglas
Park,
so
pretty
committed
to
Arlington.
But
while
I
was
trying
to
figure
out
everything
for
the
Four
Mile
Run
working
group,
I
was
trying
to
do
a
lot
of
online
research
because
I
just
didn't
know
a
lot
and
one
of
the
things
I
came
upon
was
when
you
first
came
on.
F
You
talked
about
a
long-range
strategic
plan
and
you
had
some
work
sessions
and
I
I
just
wondered
if
anything
came
out
of
that,
because
it
would
be
so
great
if
all
of
these
plans
and
projects-
and
you
know
things
that
you
have
to
update
every
two
years-
every
ten
years
would
be
in
one
place
with
like
a
little
like.
This
is
how
we're
getting
there
and
so
that
when
we're
looking
at
the
CIP,
are
we
on
track
with
the
long
term
vision
and
then
and
then
there's
a
lot
of
problem
solvers
in
committee
in
Arlington?
F
A
So,
there's
there's
a
lot
that
you
packed
into
that
question.
So
I'll
try
to
I'll
try
to
pick
a
few
pieces.
The
sessions
that
we
started
when
I
became
manager
which
were
done
between
the
sort
of
after
the
summer
recess,
like
September
October,
November
December,
were
meant
to
deal
with
strategic
questions
about
budgeting,
because
when
we
get
into
the
budget
in
January
February
March,
we
don't
seem
to
have
enough
time
to
talk
about
some
of
those
longer
range
issues.
A
We
have
done
a
lot
of
those
we
have
more
to
do
and
we're
actually
going
to
be
doing
one
storm
water
in
the
fall.
But
your
question
about
a
strategic
plan
is
I
think
hit
upon
something.
That's
been
a
conversation
point
how
many
times
Nancy
you
know
a
thousand
times
and
that's
not
to
diminish
it.
But
there
was
a
proposal
for
a
blue-ribbon
panel.
Recently
there
was
a
proposal
for
the
joint
facilities,
Advisory
Commission,
to
look
at
it.
There
been
proposals
to
add
elements
to
our
comprehensive
plan.
A
There's
a
lot
of
conversation
about
that
and
I
will
say
right
now
when
I
became
manager,
I
was
not
intending
to
address
the
question
of
an
overall
strategic
plan
for
the
county.
I
was
talking
about
strategic
budgeting
and
the
departments,
but
you
identify
something
that
we
don't
really
do
as
a
community
specifically
that
way,
but
our
comprehensive
plan,
which
has
all
the
elements
in
which
Jane
is
the
owner
of
the
comprehensive
plan.
She
has
it
in
her
house
and
evolved
under
lock
and
key
no,
but
I
mean
the
Planning.
A
Commission
plays
an
important
role
in
that,
and
so
that
is
something
that
I
think
you
need
to
keep
pushing
on.
That
I
would
mention
that
the
county
board,
especially
the
chair
of
the
board,
is
starting
conversations
Saturday
about
the
future
of
Arlington
how's
it
going
to
grow
getting
into
some
of
those
more
strategic
questions
and
I
would
encourage
I,
think
they're.
J
So
I
would
just
highlight
that
it's
very
unsexy
but
appreciate
the
fact
that
that
continues
to
be
a
focus
and
I
think
we
have
to
keep
that
front
and
center
because
we
got
so
far
behind
and
it's
taken
us
a
long
time
to
catch
up
and
now,
when
we're
just
starting
to
catch
up,
we
don't
want
to
have
to
go
through
all
that
again.
Okay,.
A
So
I'm
gonna.
Thank
you
very
much
for
making
that
point.
I
wanted
to
have
Lisa
and
George
and
Dennis
each
take
about
just
a
short
bit
of
time
and
talk
about
so
the
maintenance
capital
we
have,
which
is
considerable.
It's
in
the
tens
of
millions
of
dollars
for
parks
and
for
facilities
and
transportation.
Focusing
on
those
things
that
we
have
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
we
have
I
want
people
to
understand
by
example,
the
kinds
of
things
that
we're
we
have
to
maintain.
W
On
the
park
side,
the
capital
maintenance
I
think
throughout
the
CIP
is
five
to
seven
million
dollars
annually.
If
you
think
about
all
the
infrastructure
we
have,
this
is
your
athletic
fields.
It's
your
lights!
It's
your
courts!
It's
your
playgrounds,
your
restrooms,
your
picnic,
shelters,
all
the
fencing
and
the
the
trails
and
all
of
those
things
that
go
into
that.
W
You
know
that
all
need
replaced
at
the
same
time,
along
with
that
we're
dealing
with
which
you
keep
hearing,
which
is
this
stormwater
and
I,
think
it.
It
helps
us
overall,
with
the
stormwater
many
many
of
our
facilities
were
put
in
in
the
1960s
and
70s.
They
don't
have
the
rights
dorm
water
controls,
they
don't
have
a
DA,
and
so
all
those
things
as
well
go
in
and
complement
the
projects.
They
do
increase
the
cost
of
the
project.
W
But
they're
the
right
thing
to
do
or
they're
the
required
things
to
do
along
with
the
projects
that
we're
doing,
and
so
all
of
these
things
have
Public
Engagement
along
with
them.
So
the
community
has
a
chance
to
to
get
involved
in
the
in
the
design,
but
it
has
been
a.
It
has
been
a
slow
and
steady
process
and
we
need
to
continue
that
moving
forward
to
catch
up
on
this
deficit.
C
From
the
facility
side,
we
have
roughly
54
different
facilities
or
buildings
in
service
across
the
county.
Over
half
of
them
were
more
than
40
years
old
and
the
capital
maintenance
program
that
we
oversee
for
these
facilities
does
consume,
depending
on
how
you
read
the
CIP
four
million
dollars
in
bond
every
year
and
four
to
five
to
six
million
dollars
of
the
pay-go
operating
budget.
That
money
goes
primarily
for
the
basic
building
repair
and
replacement
new
roofs,
new
air
handlers,
new
chillers
new
window
treatments,
because
the
windows
get
old.
C
Some
of
our
buildings
still
have
single
pane
windows,
so
we
have
a
program
that
prioritizes
based
on
the
facility,
condition,
assessment
and
index
that
tells
us
which
building
needs
the
attention
to
soonest
and
we
structure
that
so
that
we
address
them
all.
In
addition,
we
have
a
regular
program.
We
go
to
our
11
fires,
our
10
fire
stations
once
each
year
to
determine
what
that
station
needs
in
terms
of
its
refreshment
and
refurbishment.
So
we
have
a
very
active
program
and
we
really
focused
on
keeping
our
buildings
in
a
good
state
of
repair.
D
I'll
just
cover
the
the
transportation
program
right
now
in
the
managers
proposed
CIP
there's
over
a
hundred
and
fifty
million
dollars
set
aside
for
capital
maintenance.
We
have
over
a
thousand
Lane
miles
of
streets
to
pave
and
mark
many
many
miles
of
curb
and
gutter
and
ramps.
We
maintain
over
7400
streetlights
there
Arlington
owned.
We
have
close
to
300
traffic
signals,
200
cameras
and
the
list
goes
on
and
it's
all
aging.
So
one
of
the
directions
that
this
CIP
follows
is
hold
the
line
in
terms
of
the
maintenance
level,
and
so
the
CIP
does
it.
D
It
doesn't,
with
some
pain
for
the
transit
side
of
the
maintenance
program.
It's
coming
from
dedicated
sources,
which
means
those
sources
are
not
available
for
new
projects.
It's
actually
being
rolled
in
to
things
unsexy
things
like
maintaining
buses,
maintaining
fare
boxes,
maintaining
facilities,
but
there
is
a
major
commitment
to
maintaining
what
we
have
in
the
CIP.
So.
A
K
Hi,
thank
you
first
for
inviting
the
your
committees-
and
we
were
all
represented
here.
So
that's
great
I
have
two
concerns
about
two
of
the
bike:
ped
projects
in
the
budget.
The
first
is
the
Shirlington
bridge
and
I'm
happy
to
see
that
it's
in
there
I
have
two
requests
with
that.
The
first
is
that
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
county
coordinates.
The
development
of
that
with
the
Vidocq
project
for
the
Shirlington
interchange.
I
might
also
require
work
with
Alexandria
I
understand
some
of
the
land
is
actually
part
of
Alexandria.
K
K
K
Thirty
and
given
how
projects
get
delayed
I
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
soon
as
you
can
possibly
put
some
money
in
there
that
you
do
it's
a
really
important
link
in
our
network
and
the
pedestrian
was
killed
a
a
few
weeks
ago
could
have
used
that
to
safely
get
to
our
neighborhood
and
get
over
to
wherever
you
wanted
to
go.
So.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
D
So
the
top
priority
for
the
bridge
program
is
the
showing
tomorrow
bridge
money
is
not
unlimited,
so
it
is
a
bridge
renovation.
It's
not
a
completely
new
structure
and
we're
gonna
have
to
balance.
The
idea
is
to
improve
the
pedestrian
and
cyclist
safety
at
that
location.
We're
in
the
scoping
process
now
and
then
that'll
be
followed
by
design.
And,
yes,
we
will
be
coordinating
closely
with
VDOT
because
they
control
the
ramps
that
feed
into
that
on
the
army-navy
Drive
emergency
access.
We
actually
listed
the
dates
of
that
access
easement
in
the
draft
CIP.
D
For
the
reason
you
mentioned,
so
it's
not
forgotten.
We
had
really
hard
choices
to
make.
In
the
early
years
of
the
CIP,
we
can't
really
use
commercial
real
estate
tax,
it's
really
not
eligible
for
NVT,
a
regional,
the
the
sources
that
we
typically
go
to
for
our
metro
quarters
in
Columbia
Pike
really
are
not
available
to
us
for
that.
D
So
we
were
looking
at
things
like
geo
bond,
and
so
we
had
to
actually
move
some
projects
out
where
there
was
capacity
and-
and
that
means
in
the
outer
years
of
the
CIP,
as
the
manager
mentioned,
we
update
the
CIP
every
two
years.
The
financial
situation
of
somehow
magically
bond
capacity
improves.
It
grows
a
bit,
it's
possible
that
that
could
move
up,
but
we
did
intentionally
put
the
design
funds
in
the
CIP,
so
it
wasn't
forgotten.
Okay,.
X
So
I'm
just
gonna
read
this
one
directly:
if
revenue
is
decreasing
or
stagnant,
why
continue
to
approve
development
that
grows
the
population
without
commensurate
services
funding?
As
the
bike
representative
mentioned,
we
are
likely
to
experience
growth
from
major
corporations
moving
into
or
near
Arlington
population
growth,
without
planning
for
commencement
services,
growth,
schools,
transportation
utilities
etc
makes
living
working
and
playing
here
harder
and
reverses
that
growth,
okay,.
A
So
the
fundamental
point
of
that
question,
which
I
think
is
a
very
fair
observation,
which
is
that
as
we
grow
and
we
grow
we're
continuing
to
grow,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
our
growth,
we
have
the
facilities
to
support
that
growth.
I,
think
that's
the
fundamental
underpinning
of
that
question
and
I
can
assure
the
community
right
now
we
have
the
facilities
that
we
need
for
the
growth.
We
have
some
challenges
on
our
parks
and
schools.
It's
not
like
we're
without,
but
that
is
I.
A
Think
the
fundamental
question
and
I
think
one
of
the
questions
that
we'll
have
to
focus
on
when
we're
going
through
our
budget
deliberations
is
whether
we
have
to
increase
our
revenue.
I,
find
ways
to
increase
our
revenue
in
order
to
increase
the
level
of
investment
we
have,
and
there
are
our
choices
there,
that
the
board
can
make
by
increasing
the
tax
rate,
also
by
other
kinds
of
choices
that
they
could
make.
So
I
think
that's
a
fair
question.
A
I
think
that
we
try
to
have
a
conversation
with
the
impact
of
new
projects
about
the
impacts
they'll
have
on
schools
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
conversation
about
that.
It's
something
we're
gonna
have
to
pay
close
attention
to.
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
wrap
up,
I
want
to
think.
First
of
all,
the
staff
in
the
room
who
came
here
I
also
want
to
thank
everybody
from
all
the
Commission's,
especially
from
Mike
I,
think
Dan
you're
standing
over
there.
You
didn't
ask
a
question,
but
that's:
okay,
I'll!
