ADDITIONAL BOARD MATTERS
PMH:pmh
24. DIRECT CARE WORKERS (
Chairman Connolly noted that direct care workers’ collaborate closely with other health care providers to provide quality care to all citizens. The well-being and happiness of many patients depends greatly on direct care workers’ such as nurse’s aides, caregivers, personal care workers, and home care aides.
Therefore,
Chairman Connolly relinquished the Chair to Vice-Chairman Bulova and asked
unanimous consent that the Board proclaim
25. MOSQUITO AWARENESS
WEEK (
Chairman Connolly said that the Health Department works diligently each year to inform citizens of methods to prevent mosquito bites. This campaign is recognized across the Commonwealth as a model preventative measure localities can take to help protect their citizens. This year the County was also asked by the Virginia Department of Health to pilot a tick prevention awareness campaign.
Therefore,
Chairman Connolly asked unanimous consent that the Board proclaim
26.
Chairman Connolly said that
in 2000, as Chairman of the Metropolitan Area Council of Governments, he
initiated a regional goal, endorsed by the Board, to have 20 percent of
the eligible workforce teleworking by 2005.
With 825 County employees now actively participating in the telework
program, the County leads the region in this effort to take cars off the
road, fight gridlock, and improve air quality. That number represents over two thirds of the
County's goal to have 20 percent of its eligible workforce teleworking by
the end of 2005.
The County's telework program is growing steadily, with new teleworkers
signing up all the time. The
One-thousand County employees telecommuting one day a week will save 1.8 million
commuting miles, preventing 720,000 pounds of pollutants from entering the
air we breathe. Teleworking is not
the only solution to the region's air quality and road congestion challenges,
but along with mass transit and carpooling, it is a critical one. In addition, teleworking plays a necessary role
during emergencies. It is an important
part of any emergency preparedness effort.
Therefore, Chairman Connolly asked unanimous consent that the Board direct
staff to prepare certificates of commendation for Catherine A. Chianese,
Assistant to the
27.
Jointly with Supervisor Kauffman,
Supervisor Hyland, and Supervisor McConnell, Chairman Connolly said that
on Friday, May 13, the Department
of Defense issued its report on base closures and relocations. As a result,
Six years ago the Board requested a study of extending transit service
from the Franconia-Springfield Metro Station to the EPG and southward to
the Main Post of Fort Belvoir. Similarly,
the County and the Virginia Department of Transportation recently finished
an exhaustive review of the future roadway improvement needs of Richmond
Highway and concluded that a transit link was needed tying Fort Belvoir
to the Huntington Station. This influx
of jobs will have a large and unanticipated impact not only on the transportation
system, but across the infrastructure spectrum, affecting schools, air quality,
and housing stock, to name but a few. County
staff resources must be brought to bear and a single point of contact must
be chosen, to ensure that information is shared quickly and seamlessly between
Fairfax and the US Army. The "implementation
plan" to be drafted by Fort Belvoir over the next 90 days must be a
first cut, and community input and guidance must be sought, so that and
long-term strategy can be crafted to ensure the lasting success for the
Army, the current community, and the future of this area.
Therefore, Chairman Connolly moved that:
·
A meeting of the Board's Fort Belvoir
Committee be scheduled with dispatch to ensure that Board colleagues, staff,
and the public have a chance to be fully briefed on the scope of the proposed
changes.
·
The Board declare its firm conviction
that when the federal government makes a decision that adds 18,000 jobs
to the County, it has a special obligation to help in a substantial and
significant way to offset these impacts.
·
The Board exhort its congressional
delegation for assistance in the dedication of funds for transportation
improvements in the Richmond Highway corridor and its environs, including
but not limited to the extension of rail from Huntington to Fort Belvoir
itself, the extension of rail from Franconia-Springfield to the EPG and
from there to Fort Belvoir, enhanced bus services, and other sundry road
improvements.
Supervisor Hyland seconded the motion.
Following discussion of the motion, Supervisor
McConnell asked unanimous consent that the Board direct staff to report
with information regarding a commuter train to new facilities. Without objection, it was so ordered.
Supervisor Smyth asked unanimous consent that
the Board direct staff to review the possibility of using a study similar
to the license plate study regarding the Vienna Metro to determine where
the 18,000 people are currently living and where they are coming from. Without objection, it was so ordered.
The question was called on the motion and it
carried by a vote of nine, Supervisor Hudgins being out of the room.
28. TYSONS COORDINATING
COMMITTEE (
(BACs)
Jointly with Supervisor DuBois, Supervisor Hudgins, and Supervisor
Smyth, Chairman Connolly said that Tysons Corner is the economic engine
driving the County to and through the 21st Century, and the conditions established
by this Comprehensive Plan update must continue to foster the economic vitality
of the urban center. The continued
commercial success of Tysons plays a major role in providing enough revenue
to allow the Board to keep providing tax relief to homeowners. The residents of the County cannot afford an
economic decline in Tysons Corner. In
addition, Tysons needs a better mix of residential and commercial development
to mitigate traffic congestion. Tysons
must also remain a center for retail activity.
·
Promote more mixed use.
·
Better facilitate transit-oriented
development.
·
Enhance pedestrian connections throughout
Tysons.
·
Increase the residential component
of the density mix.
·
Improve the functionality of Tysons.
·
Provide for amenities and aesthetics
in Tysons, such as public spaces, public art, parks, etcetera.
Scope: The scope of the Council's charge
is to:
·
Focus on transit nodes.
·
Folding the APR nominations into
this process.
·
Ensure that transportation impacts
are addressed.
·
Help define the future of Tysons.
Composition: A diverse mix of stakeholders from the community,
businesses, and major employers. The
Committee shall build on its existing membership of 13 by:
·
Adding one district representative
from those not yet represented, if desired -
·
Adding the Tysons neighborhoods on both sides
of Route 123, and Westwood at Ashgrove, to each nominate one representative;
(3)
·
Adding one representative each from Dranesville
and Hunter Mill District neighborhoods or coalitions; (2).
·
The appointing of a chair by the
Chairman of the Board of Supervisors.
Process: The Tysons Coordinating Committee should employ
informational and educational outreach methods such as:
·
Community focus groups, using professionals
to conduct/facilitate to:
·
Share visions and ideas.
·
Move to a shared vision of what
Tysons can be.
·
Collect community ideas, concerns,
and issues.
·
Specific working groups as deemed
necessary and useful (these working groups can add others from the community
who will not serve on the Council itself).
·
Public outreach presentations to
civic associations, community meetings, business and Chamber meetings, and
those four meetings that may be authorized.
·
Community meetings.
Timeline: The Committee should complete its work in the
next 15 months. The Committee, with
assistance from County staff and the facilitators, should review an appropriate
report and plan amendment(s) as necessary for Planning Commission and Board
consideration.
Supervisor Smyth seconded the motion.
Supervisor Smyth noted that the expansion was
requested by the existing committee because of the challenges the committee
faces in doing public outreach to everyone who is interested in the future
of Tysons. The primary mission
of the committee is still public outreach, gathering input from the public,

Supervisor Hudgins said that she has received complaints and became concerned
about the limited options and reliability of the transportation modes available
to the disability community. She
has also been contacted by DSB, to determine how DSB and the Board of Supervisors
can work together to address these concerns.
As a first step, Supervisor Hudgins suggested that public meetings be
held to determine specific areas in need of improvement and current barriers
to service. She added that a team with representation from any or all of

hearings in at least three areas of the County:
·
The DSB
·
FASTRAN
·
Area Agency on Aging
·
Department of Systems Management
·

public hearings by members of the disabled community, the Board would begin
to identify and address the specific problems and necessary improvements
required to resolve the growing trend of underserving the disabled community
in their transportation needs.
Therefore, Supervisor Hudgins moved that the
Board direct staff to develop an initial work plan by the July 2005 timeframe
for conducting outreach to people with disabilities, including advertising
and holding public forums, to address the limited options and reliability
of the transportation modes available to the disability community; and produce
a final report to the Board by October 1, 2005.
