16. LETTER TO THE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION REGARDING
THE PATRIOT ACT (
With reference to his written Board Matters, Chairman Connolly called the Board’s attention to the draft letter to Senator John W. Warner regarding the Patriot Act. Similar letters were planned to other members of the County’s Congressional Delegation. Accordingly, Chairman Connolly relinquished the Chair to Vice-Chairman Bulova and moved approval of the draft letter. Supervisor Gross seconded the motion.
Supervisor Frey asked to amend the motion to revise the letter to include the word “perceived” to precede the words “enforcement of the Patriot Act” in the fifth paragraph, and this was accepted.

Therefore, Chairman Connolly asked unanimous
consent that the Board proclaim September 15-
18. MENTAL ILLNESS
AWARENESS WEEK (
Chairman Connolly stated that “Mental Illness
Awareness Week,” is
19. FOOD FOR OTHERS
DAY (
Jointly with Supervisor Smyth, Chairman Connolly
noted that in October of 1995 a cadre of volunteers came together to establish
Food for Others, a food pantry nonprofit charged with distributing free food
to the hungry of Northern Virginia. In
Fiscal Year 2004, Food for Others provided emergency food to 13,148 families
as well as supplementary food to approximately 306 families at 15 sites.
Additionally food was provided to an average of 1,700 families monthly
through bulk distribution to community-based organizations.
This fall marks the tenth anniversary of Food for Others.
Therefore, jointly with Supervisor Smyth, Chairman
Connolly asked unanimous consent that the Board proclaim
20. FORM-BASED
CODE (
With reference to his Board Matter on Form-Based
Code, Chairman Connolly said that he was presenting it after attending a seminar
in
Chairman Connolly’s background material indicated
that form-based code emphasizes the design of any given parcel, rather than
the use. As such, a grocery store may
look similar on the outside to the multi-family residential building next
door, with each conforming to the same set of architectural and design guidelines.
In the Columbia Pike project, the public input came at the front end
of the process, rather than waiting until individual rezoning cases were considered. Stakeholders representing a broad swath of the
affected community came together and, over a series of charrettes, by consensus,
contributed extensively to the design of their neighborhood. As a result, developers know what design elements
are allowed within the project area, and neighbors know what their community
will look like as development projects are proposed for that portion of Columbia
Pike. This was a three-year effort
and cost several hundred thousand dollars to develop. Projects conforming
to this code are considered administratively and are not subject to the public
hearing process.
Chairman Connolly asserted in his written documentation
that as the County explores mixed-use development, especially as a tool for
creating communities that reduce dependency on cars, the applicability of
form-based code to portions of the County should be evaluated. While
form-based code is not a viable option for every single parcel in the County,
certain locations may be particularly well-suited to benefit from form-based
code and could present an opportunity to promote walkable mixed-use communities
in certain areas.
Accordingly, jointly with Supervisor DuBois,
Chairman Connolly moved that the Board direct staff to prepare an analysis
of form-based code and the Columbia Pike project as it could apply to
·
A detailed analysis as to whether
the County has the legal authority to implement a form-based code such as
that developed by
·
An examination of potential criteria
which would allow an area to be eligible for this pilot project (i.e. revitalization
areas, areas around rail/bus services, et cetera).
·
Based on these criteria, a list of
possible areas in
·
A suggested process to include as
much public participation as possible in the proposed pilot project, should
there be one.
Supervisor DuBois seconded the motion.
Following discussion regarding a similar presentation
by the Southeast Fairfax Development Corporation and the issue of shared parking
in a block, the question was called on the motion, which carried by a vote
of eight, Supervisor McConnell being out of the room, Supervisor Hyland not
yet having arrived.
21. DONATIONS TO

25. HABITAT FOR
HUMANITY (
Chairman Connolly stated that Habitat for Humanity
has challenged the Board. It has invited
the Board and interested staff members to participate in a “Build Day” at
the Briarwood Trace development in the Providence District. He noted that this is the first example of single
family detached affordable dwelling units being constructed in the County.
Christopher Companies and the neighborhood are partners.
Through the dedication of volunteers, Habitat builds and renovates
affordable homes for individuals that otherwise could not afford them.
Accordingly, Chairman Connolly moved that the

with an ever-broader access to government, both efficiently and effectively.
Vice-Chairman Bulova seconded the motion and
expressed appreciation to former Chairman Katherine K. Hanley for her efforts
in this regard during her tenure.
Supervisor Gross noted that various programs
in the County were selected by NACo for achievement awards. She asked to amend the motion to direct staff
to invite representatives of those programs to appear before the Board for
recognition when the schedule allows, and this was accepted.
The question was called on the motion, as amended,
which carried by a vote of eight, Supervisor McConnell being out of the room,
Supervisor Hyland not yet having arrived.
(NOTE: Later in the meeting, the Board mentioned
that Supervisor Smyth’s office received one of the NACo Achievement Awards.
See Clerk's Summary Item CL#37.)

Chairman Connolly said that while many of the

comfortably navigate the County government organization. The policy of

responded to her invitation to meet with County transportation staff and their
consultants to discuss the Plan and their review and analysis of it.
Following this, a Braddock District task force was formed to review
the Policy Plan. Meeting between April 21 and
Under the leadership of Brent Reynolds, Chair, and Janyce Hedentniemi, Vice Chair, Supervisor Bulova said that the task force developed a number of excellent recommendations. The most significant recommendations were as follows:
· Coordinate the review of the Trails Plan and the Transportation Plan. They should be concurrent rather than consecutive.
· Give trails an equal standing as a mode of transportation.
· Include the Trails Map in the Transportation Policy Plan.
· Add language to the Plan giving guidance about trails as a component of a multi-modal approach to transportation.

Supervisor Bulova noted that the staff process for this Plan review is more of a staff/consultant exercise with periodic outreach meetings with the public rather than through the task force process. Because the process was set up more for citizen comments or responses rather than citizen nominations, there are no nomination application forms.
Therefore, Supervisor Bulova moved that the Board direct staff in the Department of Transportation to:
·
Accept the Braddock District Task Force report and transmit it to the
·
Review the nominations and forward the comments to the

41. NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION (NWF) RECEIVES 2005
TELEWORK AWARD (
Supervisor Hudgins
stated that the NWF received the Telework Award from the Metropolitan Council
of Governments at the 2005 Commuter Connections Employer Recognition Awards
Program held at the National Press Club in
Supervisor Hudgins noted that the NWF has a strong advocacy for employee quality-of-work life in addition to the contribution it makes to the larger community in terms of conservation, and she stressed the very critical role that teleworking plays in addressing congestion and air quality issues. She said that while the County’s regional goal for teleworking was 20 percent, the NWF had exceeded 36 percent.
Supervisor Hudgins added that the work that was done regionally was enhanced by the work being done by the Commuter Connections program which offered commuting alternatives to employees through the work of their employers. With the NWF serving as an example to that, Supervisor Hudgins asked unanimous consent that the Board direct staff to:
· Invite representatives from the NWF to appear before the Board to be recognized for its telework award, as well as the many other things that they do to bring quality work-life to their employees.
· Invite representatives from the Department of Transportation and the Council of Governments that work with the Commuter Connection program to appear before the Board to be recognized for the many things they do in offering alternatives for transportation: telework, guaranteed ride home, Metrochek, bike-to-work, and all of those many other things that are necessary to address quality-of-life in the workplace as well as congestion and air quality.
Without objection, it was so ordered.
Chairman Connolly added that a presentation on regional telework had been made at the last Northern Virginia Transportation Commission (NVTC) meeting and that his staff would provide the Board with copies of the presentation. He also noted that the NVTC had 16 recommendations which were forwarded to the Virginia Secretary of Transportation for consideration in trying to persuade the Commonwealth to be more aggressive on telework.

49. LEGAL SERVICES OF
Supervisor Kauffman said that over five years ago, the Deputy County Executive and Director of Housing Programs for the Department of Housing and Community Development went on record with LSNV that the County did not want them providing legal assistance to tenants of subsidized housing units in the County who had been accused of any crime dealing with illegal drugs. Until very recently, this long-standing request had been followed. A recent case found the housing enforcement staff fighting for a termination of funding for a tenant involved in drug activity pitted against taxpayer subsidized LSNV. In the past, Supervisor Kauffman said that this seemed to go against basic good judgment. If the County is seeking termination of a housing subsidy for a tenant because of drug activity, the County should not be financing their legal representation, especially when others are on a waiting list seeking housing assistance.
Supervisor Kauffman pointed out that gang activity poses the same threat to neighborhoods as drug activity did years ago. A similar prohibition should be sought to deal with those who may be accused of gang activity who are also taking advantage of limited, subsidized housing.
Accordingly,
Supervisor Kauffman moved that the Board direct the
· Request a report from LSNV to ensure that the County is not subsidizing representation of housing tenants in court cases involving drug activity.
· Seek agreement from LSNV not to represent tenants involved in any gang related crime.
Supervisor Smyth seconded the motion.
Following discussion of legal services, Supervisor Kauffman amended the motion to seek agreement from LSNV to not have them represent tenants involved in gang activity in the termination of subsidy hearing.
Supervisor Smyth asked to amend the motion to direct staff to review contracts and lease agreements to ensure that the County has the authority to evict on the basis of the presented evidence, and this was accepted.

County support once the project becomes self-sustaining.
