REPORTS OF BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES

ORAL PRESENTATIONS BY MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL

(a) Council Member Rich requested that the issue of suggesting to the state a constitutional amendment limiting state mandates be set for public hearing on Saturday, December 14, 1991, with a view toward asking the state to study the issue this year because he does not think a constitutional amendment can be proposed for this particular year. It has to be next year.

Councilwoman Pepper requested that perhaps not a definitive study be made but at least some sort of statement that will give Council an idea of the things that are mandated and how much we are paying for these and how much state or federal is paying. She would like to have some kind of a guideline that would be helpful so that Council kind of know the dimensions of it.

(b) Mayor Ticer stated that since we are on legislation in general, she was talking to Councilwoman Pepper this past week and they were talking about having possibly a Council liaison who would be going to Richmond and representing the Council's views in terms of what Council has already agreed on. If on occasion there is something that Council would like to be brought forward in Richmond, you contact Councilwoman Pepper and ask her to do that.

Councilman Jackson indicated that would be fine. He thinks that is good. He may want to go to Richmond himself and he doesn't know if he would go necessarily to represent Council. There may be occasions this session that he may want to testify before a committee on transportation items.

Mayor Ticer indicated that he would want to run it by Council before he goes down. She indicated that she did not think that there is anything unusual about that as she has been down there to testify before and she has worked with staff on testimony for certain committees and it would be nice to have several of us doing that. She requested that they keep in touch where they are going and when and on what issues they are going to testify. It would be very helpful.

(c) Mayor Ticer indicated that there is in Washington a Washington Area Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse. She stated that every year they sponsor a hotline at the holiday time. This year it will be from December 22 through January 4. The telephone number is 202-783-1300 for this 24-hour service.

(d) Mayor Ticer stated that she is very sorry that she is going to be at the League of Cities meeting this weekend and will not be here for the public hearing meeting on Saturday. She will be presenting a resolution to the Finance Committee and there is someone on that Committee who has agreed to sponsor our resolution. Basically, it is on federal land and office space procurement policies.

She will also be on a panel talking about our regional homelessness program for which all of Northern Virginia has won an award at the last Virginia Municipal League meeting.

(e) Mayor Ticer stated that the City is setting up a meeting with the Arlington County Board because Congressman Moran has worked with a member of the Appropriations Committee to hold up the appropriations for the Navy project. Before that goes forward, City Council needs to sit down with the Arlington County Board to discuss what action, if any, we would like to take regarding this matter.

22

It was decided to have a Work Session in the Council Workroom at 6:00 p.m. on January 14, 1992.

(f) Council Member Rich announced that the Vice Mayor and he have co-chaired the beginning of a local effort to participate in America 2000 which is a bipartisan education project started by the President and the National Governor's Association.
