ORAL PRESENTATIONS BY MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL
(a) Vice Mayor Cleveland would like for everyone, if they have a chance on Saturday, 9/14, between 12:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., to come to the ARHA Resident Council Community Day to be held at the Charles Houston Recreation Center.
(b) Vice Mayor Cleveland gave a report that on 8/13, 8/14 and 8/15, The Untouchables went to Atlanta, Georgia to see the Martin Luther King Center and Six Flags. The Atlanta City Council presented a special Proclamation to them proclaiming August 25 as "Untouchables Day" in the City of Atlanta. They received a tour of the Council Chambers and the Municipal League which is not normal practice. He thanked the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce who helped them with contributions for their trip. He thanked everyone involved for helping The Untouchables.
(c) Councilwoman Pepper spoke regarding a briefing at the Old Colony Inn releasing the Woodrow Wilson Bridge Improvement Study, the draft Environmental Impact Statement. There will be an informational meeting on Monday, September 23, 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Old Colony Inn. The following day, September 24, there is a public hearing at the same place at 4:00 p.m. She urged everyone to speak out.
(d) Councilman Donley reported on the success of our recent recycling centers. He requested that staff put up signs at the City's recycling centers listing where other centers are located throughout the City.
(e) Councilman Speck noted the third murder of the year in Alexandria last week-end and indicated that it was enough to bring to our attention tonight and is one of the challenges that the City must face.
13
(f) Mayor Ticer reported on a recent meeting that the City Manager and she had with members of the staff last week at the request of Denton Kent who is working on the 2020 Project. He brought the new owners of the yard, VRS. They will share their assumptions with the staff first and then go from there. The reason for this is that the staff was responsible for the Small Area Plan and it is the Small Area Plan that they say is unviable. They have set the stage for future such meetings. The City would not circumvent any normal processes that we go through which include the public hearing processes and the processes with the meetings with the citizens.
Councilwoman Pepper, Council Member Rich and Councilman Speck also spoke to this issue.

WHEREAS, homeownership is beyond the reach of thousands of low- and moderate-income households in Virginia due to the lack of resources for down payments and closing costs and to high housing costs and mortgage interest rates which they cannot afford; and
WHEREAS, from 1980-1990, the average assessed values of single family homes and condominiums in Alexandria have far outpaced the increase in median income for the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, as well as for Alexandria and Northern Virginia, thereby making homeownership an unobtainable goal for many City residents; and
WHEREAS, the Virginia Housing Partnership Fund is designed to address the statewide need for safe, decent and affordable rental housing; homeownership assistance; congregate and assisted housing; homeless prevention, intervention, emergency shelter and transitional and permanent housing for the homeless; and housing preservation and development; and

16
WHEREAS, the Virginia Housing Partnership Fund provides rural and urban communities with a flexible source of funding to enable them to design local programs that meet the unique housing needs of their areas; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Alexandria supports the restoration of the Virginia Housing Partnership Fund to the General Fund Budget of the Commonwealth of Virginia at the level of $50 million for the 1992-94 Biennium; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City petitions the Governor of Virginia to include such funding in his 1992-94 Biennial General Fund Budget to be presented to the 1992 General Assembly; and

17
WHEREAS, there have been no public hearings on the draft environmental impact statement, and no selection of an alternative, it is of great concern that prematurely including the Woodrow Wilson Bridge Improvement Project in the Transportation Improvement Plan will prejudice the alternative selection process, and devalue the upcoming public input;

1. That the Washington Metropolitan Council of Governments, Transportation Planning Board, be requested to defer the inclusion of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge Improvement Project in the Transportation Improvement Plan on September 18, 1991.
