News about people and events in Arlington County VA
A
B
B
Lately
we've
talked
a
lot
about
the
county
staff.
If
any
of
you
were
here
today
at
the
three
o'clock
meeting,
there
was
a
discussion
the
manager
had
about
the
major
water
main
break.
We
had
right
before
thanksgiving
and
how
the
department
of
environmental
staff
worked
round
the
clock
for
five
days
with
contractors
with
other
environmental
service,
public
works
workers
and
other
jurisdictions
to
make
sure
that
our
lives
kept
going
normally
with
without
a
blip
and
those
were
difficult.
B
You
know
weather
conditions
and
and
some
some
accidents
happened,
but
that
went
on
and
our
staff
in
this
organization.
3
500
of
them
are
incredibly
talented
and
committed
people
and
they
have
great
a
great
sense
of
customer
service,
and
so
I
I
want
to
thank
them,
as
many
of
you
are
here
in
the
room
too,
but
thank
the
staff
for
making
me
and
my
colleagues
look
good
every
day,
two
more,
my
colleagues,
mary
barbara
walter
chris.
B
We
really
are
a
team
and
it
doesn't
always
feel
like
that
every
moment
of
every
day,
but
the
truth
is
we
are.
We
all
reflect
the
values
of
this
community
and
we
all
come
together
and
have
our
different
styles
and
and
priorities
and
differences.
But
it
is
it's
wonderful
to
work
with
you.
I
continue
to
learn
things
from
each
of
you
and
look
forward
to
continuing
to
do
that
and
finally,
my
partner
of
it's
now
26
years.
If
you
don't
know
him,
you
got
to
meet
him
because
you're
missing
something
a
good
example.
B
B
Believe
it
or
not,
a
lot
of
us
carry
this
around
with
us.
This
is
the
vision
statement.
This
is
the
vision
created
by
all
of
you
and
us
in
2002.
There
had
been
one
earlier
and
we
modified
it,
but
you
know
this.
One
sentence
really
does
say
it
all
and
it's
what
we
on
the
board
commit
ourselves
to
try
to
fulfill
arlington
will
be
a
diverse
and
inclusive
world-class
urban
community
with
secure
attractive
residential
and
commercial
neighborhoods,
where
people
unite
to
form
a
caring
learning
participating
sustainable
community,
in
which
each
person
is
important.
B
I
don't
have
paul's
memory
to
read
the
whole
thing
to
memorize
the
whole
thing,
but
this
is
it
you
know,
and
evidently,
after
the
last
election,
I've
been
given
the
privilege
of
serving
another
four
years,
and
this
is
what
I'll
continue
to
work
toward
with
you
for
you
together
to
try
to
address
the
challenges
that
we
know
about
and
the
challenges
we
don't
know
about.
Yet
that
will
arise
over
those
years
together.
