(SAR)

(FPR) (O)        A Certificate of Publication was filed from the editor of the Washington Times showing that notice of said public hearing was duly advertised in that newspaper in the issues of August 26 and September 2, 2004.

 

                        Susan Datta, Director, Department of Management and Budget, made a brief presentation noting a positive budget balance as a result of recovering revenues as well as savings on County expenditures.  The Board heard testimony from 21 speakers including representatives of the “Washington Metropolitan Ear,” the Franconia Museum, Springfield Youth Club, Fairfax Adult Softball, the Jefferson Manor Citizens Association, South Run Coalition, as well as individuals seeking the placement of automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) in Fairfax County Public Schools.

 

                        Chairman Connolly, Supervisor Bulova, Supervisor Hudgins, and Supervisor Kauffman submitted items for the record.

 

                        Chairman Connolly relinquished the Chair to Vice-Chairman Bulova, and asked unanimous consent that:

 

·        A $10,000 Consideration Item be added to the Library Board funding which would be earmarked for the Washington EAR program.

 

·        Should the Board approve that item, that staff be directed to provide the Board, prior to the next budget cycle, a full and complete report on various services that are available and the differences in technology.

 

Chairman Connolly clarified that his proposal was part of the Library Board budget and an extension of the services the Library already provided. 

 

Discussion ensued with additional comments by Supervisor Hudgins and Supervisor Hyland regarding the Washington EAR funding through either the community funding pool or Library Services.  Supervisor Bulova then noted that the Board had been very meticulous about honoring the community funding pool criteria and process and, not undoing that; however, initially the Washington EAR program was a Library program, and a cut in the Library budget resulted in its discontinuation of that service. 

 

Objection having been heard, Chairman Connolly moved that the Board add to the Consideration List $10,000 to be restored to the Library Board’s budget earmarked for the Washington EAR service with the understanding that staff will report to the Board with a full and comprehensive report about the issues and technologies involved in alternate service and this service before the next budget cycle.  Supervisor Hudgins and Supervisor Hyland seconded the motion and it CARRIED by a recorded vote of nine, Supervisor DuBois, Supervisor Frey, Supervisor Gross, Supervisor Hudgins, Supervisor Hyland, Supervisor McConnell, Supervisor Smyth, Chairman Connolly, and Acting-Chairman Bulova voting “AYE,” Supervisor Kauffman voting “NAY.”

 

                        Vice-Chairman Bulova returned the gavel to Chairman Connolly.

 

                        Supervisor Bulova presented the Budget Chair’s proposal for the FY 2004 Carryover Review and moved:

 

·        Approval of Supplemental Appropriation Resolution (SAR) AS 05014 and Amendment to the Fiscal Planning Resolution FPR AS 05900 which includes the revenue expenditure and transfer adjustments and grant awards and adjustments contained in the County and Schools’ Carryover Review.

 

·        Approval of the Carryover package with changes as detailed in Attachment A, the Budget Chair’s FY 2004 Carryover Review Proposal, including administrative adjustments, with changes as noted, the establishment of reserves as outlined, and the recommended consideration items (detailed in Attachment B, Summary of FY 2004 Carryover Review Recommended Funded Consideration Items) with the addition of the Washington EAR Consideration Item in the amount of $10,000.

 

Supervisor Hyland seconded the motion. 

 

Supervisor Smyth noted that under her Consideration Item, Tysons Corner Traffic Modeling Analysis, proffer money would be received toward the net cost so some of the money allocated would be coming back to the County.  Chairman Connolly suggested that there be further discussion regarding broadening that task force.

 

Supervisor DuBois moved that the Board add to its list of Consideration Items:

 

·        The allocation of $825,000 of carryover funds to take Project Z00018 to construction.

 

This motion died due to lack of a second.

 

Supervisor Bulova asked unanimous consent that the Board adopt an alternate strategy and put in reserve $200,000 toward Project Z00018.  This $200,000 would be composed of contributions of $100,000 from both Chairman Connolly’s and Supervisor DuBois’ capital projects allocations.  She stipulated that these funds would not be used until the Board received satisfactory answers to its previously-raised questions.  Without objection, it was so ordered.

 

Discussion ensued concerning the funding of stormwater and erosion issues and Chairman Connolly stated that the Environmental Committee and the Development Process Committee needed to examine this and report with recommendations.

 

Supervisor McConnell expressed concerns about traffic and transportation problems and specifically the need for additional Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) units for the Police Department.

 

Chairman Connolly relinquished the Chair to Vice-Chairman Bulova and asked unanimous consent that the Board direct the County Executive to consider this during the preparation of his budget recommendations for the next fiscal year.  Without objection, it was so ordered.

 

Vice-Chairman Bulova returned the gavel to Chairman Connolly.

 

The question was called on the motion, which CARRIED by a recorded vote of nine, Supervisor Bulova, Supervisor DuBois, Supervisor Gross, Supervisor Hudgins, Supervisor Hyland, Supervisor Kauffman, Supervisor McConnell, Supervisor Smyth, and Chairman Connolly voting “AYE,” Supervisor Frey voting “NAY.”

 

(NOTE: Later in the meeting, the Board took action regarding AEDs.  See Clerk’s Summary Item CL#17.)

 

ADDITIONAL BOARD MATTERS

 

15.                   REQUEST FOR A BRIEFING ON LAKE MARTIN (SULLY DISTRICT)   (1:12 p.m.)

16.                   EXPRESSION OF APPRECIATION TO THE DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET (DMB)  (1:12 p.m.)

 

                        Chairman Connolly and Supervisor Bulova expressed appreciation to Susan Datta, Director of the DMB, and her staff for their work on a successful carryover package.  Chairman Connolly also thanked Supervisor Bulova, Chairman of the Budget Committee, for her work.

 

17.                   AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATORS (AEDs) IN THE SCHOOLS  (1:13 p.m)

 

                        (NOTE: Earlier in the meeting, citizens raised the issue of AEDs in the Schools.  See Clerk’s Summary Item CL#14.)

 

                        Supervisor Bulova said that an initial request was made to members of the School Board and School staff to have AEDs installed in County schools.  Since athletic facilities in the Schools are used both by the County as well as Schools, Superintendent Jack Dale asked the County for help with developing a policy on AEDs.  Currently both County and School staff have this matter under review.

 

                        Supervisor Bulova moved that the Board direct the County Executive to report, in time to be considered with the Fiscal Year 2006 Budget, with his analysis of the installation of AEDs in County Schools, along with a proposed Policy.  The analysis should be done in collaboration with School staff and should be shared with School Board Members.  If a decision to install AEDs in Schools seems likely, consideration should be given for the possibility of jointly funding such an expense.

 

Chairman Connolly seconded the motion.

 

The question was called on the motion, which carried by a vote of nine, Supervisor DuBois being out of the room.

 

18.                   ORDERS OF THE DAY  (1:16 p.m.)

 

Supervisor Gross requested a clarification of Board Matter proceedings for the remainder of the day.  Chairman Connolly announced that as soon as the Board completed morning business, which would not include Board Matters because of the lateness of the hour, the Board would proceed to the ribbon-cutting for the new Alternate Emergency Operations Center.  The Board would reconvene for public hearings at approximately 4 p.m., and the presentation of Board Matters would follow.
