Hyland referred to his written Board Matter regarding Mount Vernon Estate. The Mount
Vernon Ladies Association of the Union, which owns and maintains the site,

by the Board and does not relieve the applicant of compliance with the provisions

A number of these bus stops are WMATA bus stops and it does not provide trash pick up at its bus stops outside of the District.

by the Board of Supervisors, clearing and grading of the subject site shall
not begin until temporary parking facilities which provide a minimum of
225 spaces are available for use. The applicant shall provide documentation to
the satisfaction of the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services
demonstrating the availability of parking."
Supervisor Kauffman noted that the Washington
Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) has been working to provide
a temporary lot in the City of
To keep this project on schedule and considering
that WMATA's inability to provide 225 spaces is beyond WMATA's control,

of the site with the availability of fewer than 225 temporary spaces. WMATA will not reduce the existing surface parking
lot until the temporary spaces are available. The second to the motion was inaudible.
Following discussion, the question was called
on the motion and it carried by unanimous vote.
Following further discussion, with input from
staff, Supervisor Kauffman moved that the Board direct staff to review the
plan for the County lot and ensure that the shuttle is as frequent or more

by unanimous vote.

and managing medications, to a person's being discharged from a hospital
who needs a level of nursing -- care that is not available in the shelters. Although the Emergency Housing Task Force gathered
some information about this need in the fall of 2000, there is not a clear
picture of how many homeless persons have such needs, or how often these
