Good morning everybody. We've got budget. Downhall. Everything I. The. of April 20th. There's proclamations to annual reports, budget ordinance public hearing, and then the federal and the protection ordinance. Obsession on a budget. Depending on how things go, we'll have a fair amount of public comment on the survival question might start out a bit late. Did you know, we're thinking that we'll flip some off things out there to cancel which sort of knew and discussion and there was a set up for May 5th. The coin train, that's on April 29th at 6 p.m. It's Tuesday night. The May 5th work session is... I'm going back to 20th. There is a 3 p.m. option that, Salis, that we could take advantage of. Should we have a common option? Yes, we should. That's right. 3 p.m. and a 6 p.m. I might try to do the earlier one. Yeah. Just about. And now just about. Okay. And I'll fulfill your client training requirements. Every two year. And the 6 p.m. is also an hour. Correct. So now, let me touch on something that is what my recommendation is. The council's not agreed to it and I haven't had any conversation really with anybody about it. But what I'm proposing is a resolution to create a solid waste task force for the August 2025 report deadline. That would be adopted on, I'm proposing that that be adopted on May 12th. We work very expeditiously. And then turn the page on August 25th to count for them to leave the report from the Salad Waste Task Force. And with it would be the real estate tax rate ordinance. And a Salad Waste D resolution is that's the direction that if you're going to ask for the right amount. Then on August 11th there would be a first reading on the real estate tax rate ordinance, presumably, to reduce the real estate tax rate in August, which we've never done before, but which is legally permissible. And then, then, a solid waste fee. It'd be first reading on August 11th, and then, after the Labor Day holiday, come back for your public hearings, second reading. We would have the treasure be the member of the task force so they would be working through, they would put their enhancement request and the tile attack like immediately down so that the vets as smooth a process as possible. So maybe kind of the main thing to explore is this question, is senior relief or a variable rate, a very simplified variable rate or something that would make it, I'm just anticipating that that would be, if it were rolled out, if it flat, I think that would be kind of one of the main things that we'd be getting feedback on from our community. So that's a proposal. I know that's not necessarily with, I'm not sure what that's what I'm going to do. The council wants to do. I think that our council members wanted to get this done. That is an alternative. It just carries some additional risks. So, you know, we're rolling this out for people wanting to have a little bit more talk to, to have some additional options. If that were done, then the focus then for the fifth is really about the budget adoption and We're going to land a plan on the General government and school budgets which is a lot We're going through reduction scenarios and those all we know from Monday night There's going to be a lot of questions about all these options and so that allows us to sort of focus on that, get the budget done, and then take three more months to address the solid list. I see. On that, I just wanted to point those worst discussions. But if you've got some options, at their meeting last night. But yeah, that is an agenda. I know this is a discussion, it's online. Watch it, it starts like 155. Yeah, so they can increase class sizes, not give possible living adjustments, not fund security, or we have special and, or special life, or we could not cut the tax rate. So. I think there's a statement in the new press on one day that I just saw last night, and then there's information in the morning that hasn't stopped. What do you, what council should do? You came out before the schoolwork meeting. Why, when would you like us to hurt me or I'm not sure who, but to decide that this is the approach that the Victoria becomes. Going back to trash. Yeah, sorry going back to trash. Do you want to do a real quick brief or just being in that? What you just told us about the trash task force. So what is laid out on the schedule of Justin and Debbie is on the May 5th work session. There would be a draft for a solution for the council's consideration. It would create a solid waste task force and put out an August 2020 deadline for it to complete this work and provide a report to the council. And that would be the action on the solid waste with respect to May 12th the budget. on August 4th, there's a work session where you receive a report from the task force as well as a real estate tax rate ordinance that would reduce the real estate tax rate and a solid waste fee resolution that would put in its place a solid waste for the boards. It's the end of 2025. So it would be a hard work for the November bill. That's now that's about to offer. So then third reading on the August 11th, second reading on September 8th. So it would be, I guess, to answer your question. You know, the Council could think about that and drive that direction on the 28th. It is helpful for us in terms of how we prepare for the May, for us. I'm, it might be. Doing that wrong and everything. The May 5th work session in terms of our prep. If solid waste is on, we're gonna spend a whole bunch of our staff time preparing for the solid waste issue and the budget reduction issue. If there's consensus, let's do this resolution. We kind of clear the decks of solid waste and focus just on budget plan on the final margin. That makes sense to me, first of all, and we have always just gonna say, I think that it would just be helpful maybe to quickly, I know you've been talking about in your mind like standing up the task force, but just a little bit more on like, you know, who you would envision on it, sort of the stakeholders, and then sort of the the charge. Yeah. That's it. I know. Who were you were you on this meeting and what is this code just to make sure that we have the right people in there to be able to move something forward within that time. So, I'm well, you all are thoughts on it, but I tend to like I task force with five members, not more than that. So we can kind of get rolling. All of its meetings to be public, and we have a lot of such a meeting members can come and listen to the conversation. But I think it needs to have some community members on it. I think we're representing residents who live in condos. I think we're representing folks who live in Winter Hill. And solid waste issues in the past, the Winter Hill community has been very outspoken. Maybe the townhouses generally have been very outspoken on policy, and that would be, would be hopeful for staff to kind of work through issues to somewhat able to represent community as well. And so several, several of those made the point on communications plan communications plan communications plan out to the So even though if we move forward to standing standing of a worker which sounds good to me just that first blush for the still provides action in that same time frame it allows more We need engagement, it's staff more time to work through the details of it. I think that sounds pretty good. But alongside that is, hey, this is an issue we're dedicated to solving. We've got all these great representation for it and here's that plan here's this thing, communicating to the whole public, the whole community, what the plan is and why we're doing it and be really critical too. So I think as long as we're, you know, you know, as long as we're integrated on that is happening simultaneously with dealing with the work that there's somebody communications department that's figuring out how this is being rolled out. So it isn't just, it has happened over the summer and we don't hit the targets and then in the purpose of making pushing it out to the we're just getting tired. So we could be doing those in parallel. I think that would be a good process. And I would see any downsides to maybe that it was long but it's been in many of the good tell, the HOAs that were still addressing this. We can have more time to explain to single family homeowners who might have concerns that they look you'd have to benefit of this many years. And it goes, you know, I know it's a heavy look for the staff, so I think it's a better process for the staff to, so you forget here, why it had said, Jodie or someone would be someone from the treasure house and be on there. That's one of the things that I, other than the communication piece, I was worried about is trying to go too fast in having the staff not be ready or supportive or what. Have you said this is a way to include them as part of the situation? So I am supportive of this approach. And confirming that the gentleman who works in meetings and finance who told Joby could support the transition to that room work for many other people people help with the meaness, trans support for the new mind work. My take is that whatever they do is gonna help the CDA. Right? See, that's what you're saying as well as this to keep their sufficient access. It'll be important for us to find the charter appropriately. And I think from Monday night, I heard a majority of us say we would like to figure this out and it's more of the how. And so when we charter this group, the point of the task force is to figure out the how and not the if. And so being clear about that upfront because I don't want people to get together for three months to know we end up back with, well, we don't recommend Asian, like now you're supposed to figure out the how. To me, the how is the senior tax relief variable or flat composting and then the communications plan. Those are the four. It's in my mind the things we need to we want the script from that look to find lands on how to implement, not if we're going to implement. And then in parallel, I don't want the treasure to only take action after August because by then we'll risk not being able to get this done. So I think we should be parallel passing the implementation so that we don't come out by November and like we actually can't. We agree with that and that would be that that's a long lead item. And so we've started, we've started that enhanced, and it's got an enhancement of the software and we get that in now essentially, because it's as soon as we're active. Yeah. I like the idea that the big thing for me is that the public have full access to meetings as I assume it would. And the public has opportunity to weigh in on the if and the how. But I think the overall approach is that we need to take a serious look and change this kind of lightly. I personally have a strong opinion on the composting. And composting is too much to handle at the same time or the same. I'd like that to be considered alongside this. I don't think it should be. It's a recommended request, but it's an opportunity for people to decide whether that's something that they they wanna have on. Yeah. So on, the panelists can test first as well. Someone from that office, she's the whole office. She would be the office. So you have a treasury, you have someone from the subways. Can you repeat again, membership your envisioning? Well, it's not fully flushed out, but I'm like probably treasure, line and three community members. And when the community kicks you in. And yeah, so like, you know, then it's gonna be a comms and support, city managed, soft support. Okay, you don't have to be staff member. Every because that is a public meeting anytime. They're talking about this. OK, so we'll work through the details of that. What I'd like to do is have this draft where you want to see on the 28. And then you get feedback on it. And then you know, I way we can have agreement on what that resolution needs to say at the meeting A-F. And would you all need to talk about the appointment process? So that needs to be expedited. I like the resolution I really would, on the 12th would name the people who are on it. So we can get going on with you. If we had a meeting. If that would be a compensation process for that. But having a month flagged and stood up isn't going to work. It needs to kind of get going on day 13th. Just, we've heard from a lot. I mean, we know who's interested and who's up to speed. Yeah. So you could just invite them. I think when we did that, senior task really, we appointed somebody from HACC. So we disappointed them. That was the idea. The senior task relief to me was an example of one where we work pretty quickly. Yeah, to get that group together to study the options. Right. Is that a city major? It's staff. It was. I mean. I had the request of council. Yeah, I can't remember. We'll have to build a vacancy. We'll figure it out. I was the council liaison on that. But I don't know the council. Yeah, no, we'll find out. Yeah. To be more talk. Yeah, I mean, I guess we're what April 23rd, but we have until May 5th to basically, I mean if you have in mind like here, here are the three people or the four people in terms of slots that you would want, then hopefully by the 5th, you know, we can send an email to the WinterHLHLA person and, you know, see who's been involved, single family, home-wise, that's one of the different accounts. I don't know why they're so important. Thank you so much. And then there's a lot of comments and it's the one really showed you four numbers. Thank you so. Where. And then. It's been organized in all the condo buildings. So yeah, seems to me that would be a. Most personally, and they're at half four. Right. Time. Time. Spectrum. Byron. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then. Two out of three. virus. Yeah. And then you could two out of three. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Okay. Well, wait a minute. So let's maybe fly it if you could put a craft together for the need and then bring more thoughts to the charter and scope. Okay. So in the 20th of the fifth. The fifth is where we may review the final draft. The resolution hopefully have minor changes. Are you going out that discussion pack and on May 12th? Thank you for adding. Yes, Lee, I make this. That looks on Joseph schedule. So I'll shake that. Okay. Okay, nice warm up for the budget markup. Yeah. And so then on make 12 we would have serious proclamations accommodations and then action on the budget ordinances tax rate is the resolution which is discussing authorization on an accounting fire service at Grana. That will be Comset contract which was reviewed by Council several weeks ago. We had some track for issues that we wanted to work through that be coming back back. I just want to follow up to kind of a fire service and I'm thankful that it's very clear we have a good relationship with the chief. I think that's great. My question now about Fairfax County response is significant because there's a significant amount of EMS calls in the city that are responded to by Feminine Security. We do not have a contract with that tax account. That is done to be a delayed and limited thing. And theoretically, Feminine Security has no legal obligation unless I'm wrong and this is something to check, to adequately do that. So because if the demands on their services are so online, we're going to have a contractual in addition to everything else, we have a contractual obligation. Just want to make sure that the view of the increase in population and the increase in our buildings, that if the worst case happens and Fairfax can only is otherwise continued. In other which runs some scenarios, is there something additional that we need to think about with regard to firing the MS services? That's not related to the question about that I said about Fairfax in the case of Marzelsk. Because a lot of these EMS responses are from other vehicle crashes and stuff. I'm seeing Fairfax County units, which is fantastic. And it's great, and I'm not a company site to put that on a public by-call basis. I so basically lift the bill, and it's paid by the user of the service. So, it's paid by the city. I don't know. But I wanted to provide everybody some backings without questioning that I hadn't made clear during the meeting. So if you could gather some information, I mean, you're working on the budget. It's not necessarily a budget issue right now, that it's a longence. But I want to make sure it's just that we're we're very careful not having adequate police service, quality, quantity, want to make sure that we're not getting a high in terms of fire in the MS service. I'm going to jump in on that with two senior buildings going up. My trial firefighter spends a lot of time going to senior calls for balls because a lot of senior buildings have. If you have a fall, they are not allowed to pick, their staff are not allowed to pick senior jet and they call for buyers' services to come and help in many cases, but they have to respond to all those and they're not emergencies, but that's a lot of staff time. So to that point, when you have two senior buildings going up, I'm sure there's data, Arlington has a lot already. They already know how they do it, but just to make sure to that point that are we staffed for all those ball calls. And given that it also, I don't know, I understood the sheep to be set the fire chief to be saying that some of this is location based, right? So given the location of the senior buildings, they're all excited to, yeah, the, the fair facts, locations, what the call get, like dispatch to fair facts in a first instance, depending on bandwidth. So they're not immediate, but to your point, it's great, you know, it's a great thing that long-range planning for someone that thought of that, but you could just confirm that. You can do that. And I do want the council to know that the site plans and the entitlements for the senior buildings are all ordered out. So our public safety agencies and our partners all view those plans as they're going through the process. But it is worth touching base. Just make sure by now is there a comment. Let me explain. worth attention base just make sure by now is there. They're coming. Good math five minutes left. So then looking ahead to after to let you that go to work session. We have affordable living policy and we have called five month toortem fine standards. We'll have 20, 25 spring budget amendments. So we'll be right back at it. Thank you. The French House agreements, Council salary, and a review of the Maple and Anndale Special with the exception application. The council's telling a benefits thing. We'll have to be included in the budget. As the minister, the minister, the person in effect, I'll next year. You're going to do it. I'll ask when the next job I can. I have a minister of resolution saying you can't do it. It doesn't all the gas to have any. So I've been 27. It's not money to do it. I think it just allows you to do that. It is a firm by the new elective council. I don't remember how that works. I don't think it's a firm but once it gets an impact, you can do whatever you want to budget, I guess. It wouldn't be funded in the budget. So it wouldn't go in effect until the next fiscal school year some doors are outside the air, Yeah, budget together. Yeah, but I mean, the resolution say up to this amount and then the next year based upon the funds that we have, it's in the budget of that budget. It's kind of like, if there's something you want to put me on, if there's a thank-and-esitant to do without it or it is just budgetary. Okay. The 27th, see you at the seat. Yeah ask you a question. The 27th. See the see the budget one more question. I've always thought that we may be the three together. Better understanding of concluding this year's budget with next year's budget. Is that and I see that action. Please set action with after you year's budget. So are we sufficiently informing next year's budget what our results are from this year? So on the revenue side, we have tried to pull forward that third quarter financials forward. This year results have been a revised revenue forecast. I was going to say a great process. I didn't mind through this all the time. The year end of adults and truth, we really don't really know those until September. That's just the way that municipal finance works. The state, I mean, we don't get to log it. There's kind of all sorts of things that continue on fast in this week or so. September is the year in the graph. And we do discuss it that Center for Finance report. Really is one of the main checks is, how does it line up now with our current budget? And sometimes we need to make some adjustments for the time to make some time for the budget with the patient that we have except for the community. And the last budget event is showing up departments if they're forced to make some filerants fold or if they're money between projects, if some project is done and something is left, or if they receive then you run certain nations. So that's more like a, we do that every year, last budget. It's not to review their admins at that time. I don't want to take any more time, but I know we're not insured, but I do think that needs to be, and maybe we've improved it this year, but better integration in those two budget considerations. Thanks. Just to finish up, I don't know, 27th. We would have the General Assembly session post-pretty thing. At this meeting last time, we talked about the planning commission rule change. We're kind of work through that and that internally. It's nothing but tonight, it's on the agenda. Then we have a series of resolutions and ordinances. I think the resolution on Brokina sidewalk treatments, street skate standards for sidewalks, a bunch of amendments, various franchise agreements, the first street count, the counts of salary, benefits. I will be away for that meeting and for the June second. That's a minor note. I will have the smart cities program update. On to the work session will have there's a request for Council review of the rezoning application for one of six 108 East Street. From R1 to A to T new zone to. that's either for resigning they would be eligible to put townhouses there that's under staff. You were at the Council and get a believe in on that application. The future land use map does. Inform that. That is the future land use for T zones, but there's other policy considerations that I think the Council will want to consider. Broadwashing to easement vacation, some consent previews, discussion on the subdivision of site plan approval process under the new state code, and the performance of the IS. And June 16th, action by the Council or further form of Olympic policy planning permission. Those are second reading on the council salary. Those are kind of the main highlights July 7th. We would have the Virginia Village update. Looking ahead to August 4th. Final work event. Not only for the living plan living plan. The solid waste issues that we're just discussing in August 11th, final action on that report of the policy of solid waste items. First reading of solid waste thing. You ready to be able to have? I had questions. Where do people have to move? Ed, questions? I need two things. Others now. One, I appreciate that the helpful, but disappointing information about the professional light. I have no inter-exclusion to all five, 28, which they've already been waiting all this four years. And that's I'm sure bad news for them. They've been passing point update. I know Cindy you said that they've gotten information that they've been requesting several times actually just come to their meetings and you can explain somebody can explain to them the situation. Yeah, and I worked with Mr. Stevens Ian on him. I'm forgetting her last name right now. So I'm excited that our person, anybody they reiterated the request and now that they have something to be with them for my email, yes, you may ask them to provide the time they want a data. And then, graining of the link is, which I know why you told us that we have to face the use of escalating costs. We got to know, I'm full of comment about it. It would be helpful to understand what that basic plan is. Are we doing it section by section? Are we doing stormwater first and then street improvements? I don't think council's gotten a briefing on what it's like. We will schedule that. And the reason for that is that we've been working 30 various options and right there account. It's kind of fairly difficult situation to work through. We won't give to cancel how we get a pass of schedule. And there's right there's our bomb money in that and they're bringing a blanket. So that what if there is whatever the thing is, yeah, that we're going to get it done by the time we that would expire. That's been part of the complexity of all these different funding streams. There's about four front funding streams for this project. All different timelines. The stormwater is principally the arpa mine. It's the best buy. It's part driving the fall of doing stormwater work. No, no, I'm just thinking because the end of next year is going to be very quickly. That's when it has to make be like fully excited right there. Yeah, December 26th, assumes. Yeah, and the US Treasury is looking at all of that very closely right now. Virginia actually has a fair amount of money going back. We do. That is good. But yeah, the real thing is sure something. Thank you.
