We'll have a confirmation for equal payday and we'll have the presentation of proposed budgets joined by the school board for that. And that will have second reading on the firearms war. A resolution on the WNHD tree removal. We have gathered more information on that. And one thing in terms of the false church section, I think that we're not scheduled for any work on tree removal for... 26? Of 2026. But the region is all kind of communicating with one voice with Dominion, so we can join in that. Before you go forward, have you been able to contact Dominion to figure out their rationale? There's a double scene to be particularly so in our days. So I have not been personally part of those conversations, I've never sending this kind of distribution like that. I made a better. I had to guess on and I got to the price yesterday. And it's the normal maintenance that they're doing. I think they're worried about getting time to if they don't trim their trees back. He cited some regular school authority, but I think the lesson learned from Vienna, they did come back Vienna with advanced notice. I think what Vienna was revised by is the amount of trees removed and not just trim but like all around the ground and then there's some disagreement with noble parks and how much we planting the minion will do or some noble parks which all of which I think can work on but Scott did commit to us that we'd have ample notice we would be able to walk the site with them identifying with trees, talk about every planting process whether it's just polymers or whether the actual trees. I ran the length of it twice yesterday. We don't have many trees. But I didn't, but I did because they all got taken down when we had the dual trails. But I did cite the 20 plus trees, new trees we had planted that work that didn't move to millions of guidelines. People load 20 feet and would be ashamed to cut saplings down if they were really strict about it. So it's any of that change the resolution at all? No, I think it still sites that we need to be to add, I think we'd still like to think 20 feet is reasonable because the car lines are so tall. 40 feet? 40 feet. Yeah, because we even have to make the, yeah, the ones we've expanded were red buds, dogwoods, and then the low growing one. You don't see them at risk of pepper touching. What do you put deep in it? Some malnutrition just the resolution. Yeah, I think the plan to adopt the same resolution as the region that makes sense to you. And I give you some strong voice that you'd like to make into work with us on this. Yeah, okay. Right,ent item for the library rooftop unit. And then we have a work session. Where we'll have the reflection back of the markup session. Council had two weeks ago. And present that. Or session form. So then looking ahead on the 28th at 630, the events for Browns, I plan on speech check. The Wednesday meeting has the council meeting following that on Thursday, noon, first, town hall. April 7th work session. Focus in terms of a deeper dive on the CIP. There may be also questions or, you know, there are requests from March 24th. I'm trying to be responsive to those on the set up. We'll also have the ordinances prepared for you to review and set up for first reading on the 14th. I think that Fairfax County sewer capacity purchased a grandmas. What we're looking for is when we get the drafts back for Fairfax County just to review that the final language that probably won't view back to us in contact with 7th and so that would actually be actually the white first. And our fees are really second via the use at all. I like about a new view that you mentioned for the rear of the seat or so still in your outboard. There's a desire to do that. There is some concern about the administration of the DFUs. So they are really complex with the commercial buildings. It takes us a long time to calculate the DFUs art. And so there is, as we've been looking at it, there's been some concern about what that would mean for residential format. So that add in more delay and getting a permanent issue because we'd have staff trying to figure out that the It's not just a fee for hookup that's an increase over what it says. The DFU is a complicated, it's a far, you go through calculate every drain fixture, which sound maybe done sound that complicated, but it's a new step, you know, so for rewalsher every floor drain every every same, same, same trail. Is there a policy decision for people to get to that point about how to implement that. Yeah, maybe there is first policy decision, do you want to go in that direction? I- I mean, I mean, time to understand how, let me say difficult, how difficult it is. And therefore, do rapinies offset, does it incents anybody from having fewer of that? Like, how other people do it? I think most people have to have you, churches, right? No, I don't know, but we don't have to do the research. And certainly Arlington, Fairfax does not, except for commercial. Air model is basically the Fairfax County model, not the Arlington model. So for a home, it's real simple. If you're making a new tap in the sewer line, there's a $8,000 charge. And less, some apartment building than it's for every unit, the FUs is more brain. So we're working on that, reflecting back maybe prematurely, just some concern about what that means for the permanent process. Video, we're not part of the Epo7 capacity purchase agreement discussion, and potentially schedule something separate to talk about. Well, we're asking about the task. We were in the decision. Yeah, that's where we were. We were in the decision. And that needs to happen between now and then, and you see it was definitely interested in pursuing it. That's right. So we will have that discussion with the taxatees because we do continue to recommend for both storm order and you are sure to have a CPI index increase in the fees. So it will be there before you for us to have a special cloud. Do you have the Iowa copy fees on the fax and fees, ordinances so they know when we've been discussed? Do you have a meeting before you feel so? Well thanks, I honestly don't want to talk. We're for a few minutes. We were talking about doing quarterly and then we kind of re- re-integrated last meeting as I made a meeting to be quite frequently. Maybe talking through that implementation if it would make sense with the PUC before it comes to staff writing. Talk about your sound of the other jurisdictions to it, your control and patient timeline. I think part of the challenge is, the Ohio is stormwater engineer, I don't know if it's what it is a PE or not, but very technical side, it doesn't do the rate setting or revenue associated with necessarily, right, like that standard finance. So maybe some, we'll go from that organization, or at least forming it with that financial information. It's super technical and great. So for the 11th, that's Friday. We'll have a budget finance committee meeting. After we're working out for third quarter financial report on my level. So that'll be our latest revenue data. Sorry, going back to April 7th. I think our CIP is where we have the most federal money exposure. That's right. Are we kind of applying that lens as we talk about out near projects where we might have more risk than whether we should start some projects or just think data, good knowledge. I don't think I just want to be coupled in the bad. So I think we just need to be really deliberate about. I obviously never started probably need to continue, but before we start these things, it's heavily reliant federal grants. Does that mean we should push them out just given them a lot like I think that's part of the large part of the CFP discussion. Yeah, we have that risk exposure discussion. So the 14th, the planning commission will join for their annual report, first reading on the budget and fee and tax ordinances, planning consideration on the AD, uh, well sculpture location. So that is the meeting of the 14th. 21st, uh, we have, uh, we'll be talking about the budget and the context of council's strategic priorities and the funding that is behind those, will, um, lay out in a little of how we plan to walk through these things so that's how it's good visibility is what we'll talk about when we would like to talk with council just brief you on the fire and judicial agreements with our county that has a budget implications as well. of a fire in particular is one of the big budget drivers of this year's budget. The General Southgate reads on you that action and then a review of the horrible living policy with the housing commission. So that is a big work session. Well, you're working with SAP on how we can get through this material officially. Looking ahead then our second budget town hall on the 24th at 7 p.m. On April 28th, the employee of the year. So we have our reception at 6.30 before the council meeting. We also have public service right admission week, along with the employee of the year. So do both of those and beginning of the meeting. About public hearing on the budget. We are hopeful that we'll be ready for a final action on the sewer capacity purchase agreement. The horrible living policy referred to the planning commission, second reading on the pedestrian protection ordinance that will open reviewed by the CACT by that time. Our second budget work session, not government operations and strategic priorities. Yeah, we do have the Koya training for boards and staff on the 29th, that's 6 p.m. We have the May 5th work session as budget final markup and a final review of the IJ agreements in Garlington County. It's a set up for action on those on May 12th. The economic for the May 12th, proclamation for police week, the economic development, the EDA will be with the Council for their annual report. Final consideration of the budget, CIP tax fee ordinances, resolution to authorize signature on the IJ agreements and then broke sidewalks. Like that sign stand, it looks like. That takes us through the budgets. Yes, so we, so, it is preparing a tax relief ordinance. And, um, here's, um, here's what's happening with tax relief. We briefed the City Council on changes to our tax relief program about what four years ago, two years ago, 23, this, no, 23. The Treasurer's Office, the Council. I agree with that. I agree with that. I agree with that. I agree with that. I agree with that. I agree with that. I agree with that. I agree with that. I agree with that. I agree with that. I agree with that. I agree with that. I agree with that. I agree with that. I agree with that. and it was not brought. We agreed to that, but whether it's an official ordinance, I think that's it. Yeah, it was in part of the ordinance though. So it's just a more administrative action code of amendment that just needs to be. Yes, it's what's confusing about it is that it will be a code amendment and then it will look like significant changes, but those for changes that were viewed two years ago and are in fact what the trigger has been doing for the last yes so we're now getting the ordinance to reflect what we're doing. We've done two rounds of changes in eight years. Did we do an ordinance change for the first 19th? We definitely did the first time. I think this second time we just it's a bit hard to explain frankly. So I think responsibility for that we we didn't get that schedule and get that action thing. Okay, but she's been administering global pilot questions for her about yeah, what's going into it? In addition to the ordinance, she can give us up, Jane, or where we are. We always ask also for the benchmarking about other people to actually end the class. And kind of at the high level of, I think the narrative on it is that our benefit is very strong and very good benefit for our seniors and we're more on the deferral side than on the abatement side. We had it's a thorough isn't it like a no that's not interesting took a role I remember like years ago or whatever that evidence. Is she still looking into the low interest, low in option for people, so people who don't qualify for tuition relief? So, Okay. So we'll get more information on that. What I have always understood the treasure to do is to take their legal authority to be able to work with people on a payment plan for their taxes. I've not understood that to really be alone, although since the treasure has very powerful collection capabilities, the taxes are secured by the property and the treasure can put a put a lien on the property. It would really is payment plan. With everything going on, obviously, we need to, you know, help the residents with a little bit of flexibility, offer some flexibility. I know some of the residents have contacted me and said, you know, they don't qualify for the traditional program, but they're worried so far the pointings. Right. You said, think anything that we can do to put that out there that, you know, we can work with you if you are, you know, hear the options, you know, ranges from a plan to alone with a bank to, you know, if you're a senior that could be and the deferral options. And Dave, I think you actually know one's a talk about moving out back states. I know we've did that during COVID, which is kind of coordinated across the region. That's pretty impactful to our budgets, obviously. And today, at least the mayor's will share his new one's talk about doing that again, depending what we're contemplating it with Colleywood. Again, going on a regional coordination. With our billings cycle, we collect in June. That is the end of the fiscal year. So there was a deferral past June, then that would show up very powerful in your financial statements. And we may not be able to read our collection, right? I mean, that person, it's worth it. And so there are no one said anything they wanted to do it. But, right. Like that's why I think the low cost loan and less impactful and could still be helpful to people. Okay, that's the main things to go over post budget. We will be populating those meetings. So we have found a good look ahead for the whole summer. And we'll cover that at the next meeting. I did a minimum for charge. Orgents. Uh-huh. Yeah. Orgents. Yes. Bucket. So that is our traditional sort of magin, urine, but hey, look. Good. I've been in Mount Marathon, my particular considering everything that's going on. It seems to me we really want to link that with this year's budget very carefully in terms of managing overall resources. So I would just ask city manager to give us a good sense about what their recommendation is going to be. We're closing out this year as we work on this. He was budgeted in the bank and the side. I think you mentioned the possibility of the convergence. So I think we need them particularly this year, I think every year we ought to do the particular this year. I think we really need to look at these two in conjunction with each other and make sure that we're managing things. We're doing what we want, but we're also dealing with the issues coming out of Washington. So when we bring you the third quarter of the fourth of April 11th, as part of that, we provide your projections as best as we can. It may end up being at eight months report because some of the taxes coming like May 8th, rolling up that data. But we provide projections and we looked at the second quarter. We do have some revenues, like just an comment, the speed camera revenues that are coming over budget, so we have a sense that we're going to be on the revenues, but then there are tax revenues that we're still watching. You know, speed camera, which is not pretty much the same as the value size can be. the forward ones, but some money coming in, but some other. I'm trying to crash the Daniel Bobernation. Sorry, I mean, you can't be so steady. Join that part. Yeah. That's like one that I'm saying. You're a general, but not built in. Yeah, we all throw our espals in the end. Yeah. Yeah. We're still within 500,000 as the contingency in the FY26 Fed and via. And then potentially your money, we could be able to add to that. Yeah. I think I've been waiting by just getting what we're talking about, the fading budget, because that's going to go towards that year end, we're back to paying to replace the timing of what are we spending on in fiscal year 25. The worst top. That's what he said. He's not a library library. The year in question of that would take. Yeah. Here's what we think will be happening is we'll be taking understanding from other parts of the city to make sure that the road maintenance budget is held almost. And we're assuming that that will be the case right now, so we're not pulling back on the working track, sure, plans for this by insiping it. As an order for us to assess whether 5,000 is enough in addition to, you know, 25% we have in reserves right now, is to then they'll map that to the federal exposure rate. So on an operating budget, what's our exposure? I think it's like 6% in the schools. and in theIP, what are the near-term projects? We might be worried about projects. In order to compare it, because I can't tell you it's held at the weather 500 feet, it's enough unless we know what the gap might get. Yeah, 500.9 million is not feeling so great, but that's two million. And it's also impacting our regular taxes. Okay, it's fail. So, I'll just be happy and come to the federal. Yeah, continuously in case you're revenue is coming. Exactly. And January numbers are particularly flattering at all. It's OK. OK, it was delightful driving here today on the new road. Yeah, it was. It was nice. So I'll let Paul explain to you. So thank you. It's your job there. Nice to have you here. We we we. Yes, we did. Yeah, lighty rose on it. That this was under contract to be done in October. And it is one of these things is a air jobs are small and our contractors. Getting those contractors come in to do sometimes city work is tough and so it's been very frustrating for our team and once they've missed some windows not cover than the weather took over. So we're glad it's done. One thing is for awareness, our city staff in terms of our pot hole repairs. We're doing a lot of communication about that with the OCOM May March 28 is when our teams are going to be out of the filled top holes and patched streets and we'll be hitting kind of every doing every street in the city for that. But just in terms of awareness, March 28th, on a friend that's going to be about their toll grade. So when you see others built it right now, that's our new building up things that's locked. You can gas fixing their winter cold patches, verifactual winter fixing their cold patches from the winter. Send that personal wish more. Do you have a few more? Yeah, when it's so deep that we like seeing the ground underneath the pavement. No, wait, I wonder what's down there. The little mammoth. Yeah, it was something. We were freshening the crosswalks, right thing. So the. Yeah, the budget, when we talk about the next year's budget, there'd be a 700,000 dollar increase for road maintenance. That is, we'll sort of show what all that is, how much of that is for paving, how much is that for Ross Walks, how much is that for bike lanes, how much is that for kind of everything we do on the street, and we'll break that out for the council suite and see that. Maybe interesting, that's a creative work for staff, but I remember with school board budget, Dr. Nino always tied it to the strategic plan. So it might be interesting, and when we talk about the budget, is referring it to the survey that just came out. Like this is like this is, again, the community and state. And the roads is what we're doing. We're putting our money. That's right. I mean, I'm not trying to create work for anyone, but just to try to show that we are listening to the survey and we're putting our money where. Well, there's a lot to say on the rest things, right? To tie it back to you. that's just a spectacular content to demonstrate. I used to maybe think when you were talking about that, it's like that's one of the things that people so didn't really wonder was even putting something great. Can I ask a question about, so just recently now in the last week or so in our meetings, the idea of potentially revising the stormwater pre-credit policy or like updating the stormwater pre-credit policy has come up. And so where would that fit in or on what time you might have fit in or when you might be able to have, you know, staff resources go toward that potentially in connection with PUC. Like I don't know at ESC, like where that goes, because my understanding is that it's like hopefully underutilized and that whatever the anticipated cap of like, oh, $75,000 cap on like what the store of water fee credits would look like years ago. It's like, you know, there might be like people taking advantage of like $124 of credits with three households across the city and we're talking about the AD ordinance, like I would just like to have better incentives sooner for things like brain gardens and brain barrels and those sorts of things. There's a good point and we did read the Vepus letter and Vepus has been consistent on this for years about that credit program. And I'd like us to take a look at it. We had before we got that Vepus letter, I can tell you it was not really on our work plan to do that. I'll go a long speech on it. When we created this one more utility, I think the vision was that that credit program would be pretty easy to access and would send a nice signal to homeowners, mostly because they have some agency. You know, they're doing something they learn, you know, they have a stake in their watershed. Even though we know technical aid is not gonna help by fight because the flooding is for rain events and just overwhelmed all those things. But it can help on water quality and it helps people just learn about their how their property interacts with the watershed. That's the spirit of it and we drifted away from that. I think personally with the with the task force that created the tools they got, they made it too complicated. And we together, the community who worked on that, we made it too complicated. And that's the recognition that I'm a tennis streamlined and maybe I can do the sage. That is the excess. We ever have better to, and it declined for time, or it's just never from the beginning. Right out of the gate, we created this booklet on how you can get a credit. It puts it through the package. We never put it in the bag. Like we put in like two grain barrels, but I looked at the process and I'm like, well, it's not worth it. It's just the other way. I was able to make the word. Yeah. Yeah. I think there's policy board to do it. People can do their part in their property. So here's a thought. I think sort of circle back and think about that a little bit more. I have a feeling that it's not a huge budget issue. And it's wholly contained within the stormwater budget. And so even if we don't get it, the rules change, the council could send the signal with the budget saying we want the rules changed, you know, by September 1st. And then we work on it and get that done. And the council could put in, you know, in this form of our budget, make sure that there's more money to the kind of progress. I feel I'd handle it that way. Great to ask ESC and PUC and maybe your forestry are like, you've left it there like it's a good multi-word and you can do a lot of the how to other jurisdictions do it how can you simplify and they can come to council of staff with recommendations. That's great. Okay anything else? Just one thing on the Virginia Chiefs Committee, because I'm on the bill, one of the things that has come up is that we did an appointment at the D.A.R. person tent at Virginia Truth Group Committee. There's another centering, the open centering, all have really good historical information. I don't know how it got about continuing that ordinance. I don't know if there's any interest in that. We have a whole lot, basically, usual people on that committee. But DAR itself often has access to grants that they feel I'm thinking DAR first of Eric is mainly helpful. So when we have to be our first one there, just maybe helpful. So what do we have to do? Chase that ordinance? No, it's not. That's good. So the ordinance for it? It's a councilor. It's a councilor. It has 12 members now. It's a lot of them. I know. It's working OK. Actually, so you think I don't I'm just going to do it many like you might. I just seems like especially the the GAR that would be missing the opportunity to give any additional member's or can you find out for this today? Maybe they might refer. I just seems like, especially the D.A. Are that we've been missing the opportunity to give any kind of formal members or can you find them to be predisposed to maybe the big, like, certain others? I'm they have been participating. So they've been attending. They're just not a formal member. So the Holly's getting the information to share with the group. I'll defer to you all if you want it to be more formal, but she participated. I mean, how do you all figure the way down, right? And then staff managing. Yeah, D-A-R is one of the groups. I think you're right to pick that up. So I don't be an approach with the next meeting or I can reach out and just say, yeah, feel free to attend. Do you? For whatever reason you want to be a formal member and if they say yes, I think we go back. They didn't this was no one approached me and said yes, we want to be a formal member. I just was looking at the list and realized that that was a sort of gap in our Virginia 250 assignments. assignments and that's why I get together with Cindy and then just breaks my own. Yeah, I've heard they are. So I think like Connany think that is warm. Right. Yeah, another member that you do not remember to make sure you form for the meeting to come together. So again, I was a hell of a nice the numbers. Yeah, but I'm fine with it. That's what we all want to do. So you mentioned two groups. The other ones of what cemetery, which is our own local group, but they can ask them to attend as a. Just attend to me, remember, community members. Yeah, well, we're interviewing community members to be on it. So I'm just. We're going to be for the eyes and anything else. We are late nights and I can't wait to be on it. So I'm just, but we're getting heard of anything else. We are late nights and I can't remember what about us. I was just there. Yes, sorry, sorry, I was over to say, that's it. Sorry. Mom, that's over. Oh, anything else? Boom. Oh, a breath. Okay, so pretty good. Thank you all.
