This fall they have begun catering the monthly dinners of Phi Delta Kappa for about 100 people. This major contract, which has in the past been awarded to hotels and restaurants, was awarded to the Falls Church students after Phi Delta Kappa members attended the Superintendent's Business Partnership Awards' Dinner at the end of last school year where some 300 business and school leaders were treated to the student's work.

Therefore, Supervisor Connolly moved that the Board invite the students of the Falls Church High School Culinary Arts Program, their teacher Lorraine Martineaux, and Principal Vera Blake to appear before the Board at a December meeting and be honored for their outstanding, professional accomplishments in the community. Chairman Hanley seconded the motion and it carried by a vote of eight, Supervisor McConnell and Supervisor Mendelsohn being out of the room.

60. DESIGN OF PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES (Tape 5)

Supervisor Connolly noted that the Tysons Corner area will receive $500,000 in Job Access Funds for implementation of pedestrian access facilities. When matched, this federal earmark will provide $1 million for this purpose. To receive these federal funds, the State will need to prepare and submit a grant application. This will take some time to be completed and approved.

In the meantime, Delegate Jim Scott's HJR 276 Committee has identified the priority pedestrian projects to be constructed with the earmarked funds and would like to initiate design of the projects.

To take advantage of the time available between now and when the grant application has been approved, Supervisor Connolly moved that the Board approve an amount of up to $300,000 from the Tysons Transportation Fund to allow design of the priority pedestrian facilities to proceed without delay. This amount may supplement the $1 million in Job Access Funds or may be used as part of the required match for the funds, if needed. Chairman Hanley seconded the motion and it carried by a vote of eight, Supervisor McConnell and Supervisor Mendelsohn being out of the room.

61. RENAMING OF SAIC DRIVE (Tape 5)

Supervisor Connolly said that Goodridge Drive was renamed SAIC Drive to reflect the major presence of the SAIC Corporation in Tysons Corner. However, following the renaming, issues arose concerning access to the Booz-Allen complex, which, though addressed on Greensboro Drive, has its main entrance on what is now SAIC Drive. Representatives from SAIC and Booz-Allen have been meeting with staff and his office to develop a compromise that will allow SAIC to retain its SAIC Drive address while respecting the location of the main entrance to the Booz-Allen complex.

Therefore, Supervisor Connolly moved that the Board direct staff rename the current SAIC Drive to Solutions Drive, and to assign the name of SAIC Drive to the existing road on the periphery of the SAIC Building, which runs from Route 7 around the Northwest side of the building to end at the building's main entrance. The responsibility for manufacturing and installing any new or additional signage will be the responsibility of SAIC and Booz-Allen. Chairman Hanley seconded the motion and it carried by a vote of eight, Supervisor McConnell and Supervisor Mendelsohn being out of the room.

62. ADOPT A FAMILY (Tape 5)

Supervisor Connolly noted that the holiday season is fast approaching, and as always, it is most important to think of those who are less fortunate. The Fairfax County Office of Partnerships has an excellent program, the Adopt a Family, now in its eleventh year. He said that his office adopted a family last year through this program, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed buying gifts for the adopted family. He urged Board Members to participate this year. Last year 122 families were adopted and he encouraged everyone to strive to add to that total.

63. PROSPERITY AVENUE (Tape 5)

Supervisor Connolly said that there was a meeting on the Route 236 Corridor Study and he moved that the Board reaffirm its general support of the recommendations of the Task Force from four years ago and specifically support the compromise regarding Prosperity Avenue. Supervisor Bulova seconded the motion and it carried by a vote of eight, Supervisor McConnell and Supervisor Mendelsohn being out of the room.

Supervisor Connolly asked unanimous consent that the Board direct the County Executive to formally communicate today's Board action to Mr. Farley of the Virginia Department of Transportation. Without objection, it was so ordered.

With reference to his written Board Matter on the subject, Supervisor Hyland stated that the Sunrise Optimist Club each year requests the Board to recognize during Youth Appreciation Week those young people who have shown that they are responsible citizens and have contributed to society. Accordingly, Supervisor Hyland moved that the Board direct staff to issue an appropriate proclamation to be presented to each of the young people at the Optimist Club presentation on November 28, 2000.

Supervisor Hyland announced that he would defer his presentation of his written Board Matter on the Lorton Transportation Fund until the next meeting of the Board.

66. REQUEST FOR A TIPPING FEE WAIVER FOR THE LORTON COMMUNITY ACTION CENTER (Tape 6)

Supervisor Hyland stated that a volunteer from the Lorton Community Action Center requested a trash (tipping) fee waiver for disposing of bulk items. The center receives some donations of large items (such as furniture and refrigerators) that cannot be used and must be disposed of at the incinerator. Because payment of the disposal fee reduces the funds available for charitable purposes, Supervisor Hyland moved that the Board direct staff to allow this group to bring these items to the Lorton facility for disposal at no charge, subject to the opinion of the County Attorney.

Following input from David P. Bobzien, County Attorney, who indicated that this action was permissible, discussion ensued about other charitable organizations in this same situation.

Chairman Hanley relinquished the Chair to Acting-Chairman McConnell and asked unanimous consent that the Board direct the County Executive, in concert with the County Attorney, to review this issue and provide recommendations. Without objection, it was so ordered.

Acting-Chairman McConnell returned the gavel to Chairman Hanley.

67. PROBLEMS WITH TRASH TRUCKS (Tape 6)

Supervisor Hyland reported that the Federation of Lorton Communities informed him that not all the trash trucks coming to the mass burn facility are covered and that ooze is being spilled at the intersection of Richmond Highway and Furnace Road. He asserted that this is a significant problem.

Accordingly, Supervisor Hyland asked unanimous consent that the Board direct staff to:

• Investigate this issue.

• Ensure that applicable laws are enforced to prevent trash blowing off garbage trucks and garbage ooze from spilling onto the roadways.

Without objection, it was so ordered.

68. BOARD RECOGNITION FOR AN EXTRAORDINARY NEIGHBOR (Tape 6)

Supervisor Hyland referenced his written Board Matter regarding a constituent who took it upon herself to remove the mountain of trash left behind when a tenant in a nearby rental property moved out. Accordingly, he asked unanimous consent that the Board direct staff to invite Ms. Debra Andrews and her helpers to appear before the Board to be recognized for caring about others in their neighborhood. Without objection, it was so ordered.

69. BOARD'S OWN MOTION TO PERMIT CONSIDERATION OF REZONING TWO PARCELS TO THE COMMERCIAL REVITALIZATION DISTRICT (CRD) (Tape 6)

Supervisor Hyland stated that on October 12, 1998, the Board adopted amendments to the Code of the County of Fairfax, Chapter 112 (Zoning Ordinance), text and map to establish regulations for a new CRD and rezoned five commercial revitalization areas, including the Richmond Highway Corridor, to these new CRDs (Rezoning Application RZ 1998-MD-037). At that time a special study of the corridor was underway. The citizens' task force review of the corridor was completed last year when the Board adopted the new Plan guidance for Richmond Highway.

Supervisor Hyland said that in August of this year the Board directed staff to work with the Southeast Development Corporation to recommend how the CRD boundaries might need to be modified to support the new Plan. He noted that there is current interest in developing hotel use on property currently zoned C-8, but outside the boundary of the CRD.

After citing several reasons for this action, Supervisor Hyland moved that the Board:

• Initiate a Board's Own Motion for Tax Map Parcels 83-4 ((01)) 56 and 56A to permit the consideration of rezoning the parcels to the CRD.

• Direct staff to expeditiously schedule this action with the public hearing to be held before the board on January 22, 2001.

• Permit concurrent review of the site plan.

Supervisor Kauffman seconded the motion, which carried by a vote of nine, Supervisor Mendelsohn being out of the room.

• UPDATE ON THE TYSONS CORNER BEAVERS (Tape 6)

With reference to a resolution the Board adopted on October 30, 2000, regarding an effort to relocate some beavers from an area in Tysons Corner to property she owned in Page County, Supervisor McConnell reported that the Page County Board of Supervisors approved the offer. She stated that the next steps are to trap the beavers and transport them to their new location.

71. SERVICE RESPONSE BY COX COMMUNICATIONS (Tape 6)

72. SPRINGFIELD CIRCULATOR BUS (Tape 6)

Supervisor Kauffman stated that TAGS, the circulator bus for the central Springfield area, has partnered with the County's Connector bus to make it easier for Springfield residents and business people to travel in the area during the holiday shopping season. TAGS has added free weekend service during the six weekends between November 25 and December 31, 2000. The expanded service is provided through congestion mitigation funds.

Supervisor Kauffman announced that both the Connector and Tags are sponsoring a special holiday shopping promotion. Riders will be eligible for a $500 shopping spree at the Springfield Mall and can win three Amtrak trips.

73. TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS - VAN DORN STREET AND FRANCONIA ROAD (Tape 6)

74. PRESENTATION ON SYNCHRONIZED TRAFFIC SIGNALS (Tape 6)

Supervisor Kauffman stated that recently he attended a presentation to the Lee District Citizens Association on synchronized traffic signals. He noted that this would be a good presentation to the entire Board.

75. THE ARTS IN SPRINGFIELD (Tape 6)

Supervisor Kauffman stated that both the Springfield Arts Guild and Springfield Community Theatre are active and highly respected organizations that often have to look far from home for exhibit and performing space. He said that a coalition of Springfield citizens has been meeting to create a community arts and cultural center. The coalition includes local business and arts representatives, C-SPARC, the local revitalization group, and County representatives.

Supervisor Kauffman noted that the coalition has progressed since its first meeting in July and has incorporated as the Springfield Cultural Center, Incorporated. It has a web page, www.springfieldculturalcenter.org, and will hold its first community-wide public meeting on November 29, 2000, at 7:30 p.m. in the community room of the Franconia Governmental Center. The purpose is to involve the larger community and solicit input into the cultural center project. He also stated that it is an open invitation to everyone to attend this meeting.
