OPENING

The Meeting was called to order by Mayor Donley, and the City Clerk called the Roll; all Members of City Council were present.

2. Public Discussion Period.

(a) John Chapman Gager spoke during this period.

(b) Vivian Riefberg, 321 South Columbus Street, representing herself and area neighbors, requested Council's assistance for gathering all of the facts regarding the sale of the property at 314 South Columbus Street by Habitat for Humanity. This involves the City's Office of Housing, the Alexandria Redevelopment and Housing Authority, and Habitat for Humanity. She requested for assurance that they follow a free, fair and open process that allows dialogue and encourages participation by all interested parties.

City Manager Lawson stated that the Office of Housing is responding in a written letter to them to provide them with the information.

Councilman Euille stated that he is involved with Habitat for Humanity. He indicated that it currently has a vacancy for Executive Director. He stated that he will see that the President of the Board of Directors will get in touch with her.

Mayor Donley requested Deputy Director of Housing Hansen to get the names, addresses and phone numbers from Ms. Riefberg of all interested parties before she leaves here this morning.

(c) Carolyn Merck, 324 North Royal Street, representing neighbors, requested free and open discussion with ARHA with respect to the RFP that has been made public by ARHA for redevelopment of the Samuel Madden Homes between Princess Street and Pendleton Street, and Pitt and Royal Streets. She stated that there has been no neighborhood community input. She stated that there are three suggested designs in the RFP for the development on that property. She very emphatically stated that the neighbors in that area went to the public hearings on this, spoke strongly, adamantly, and in numbers, saying that they would support the mixed-income mixed-density design in concept, and would be happy to continue to work with ARHA to work out the details. They were very clear that they did not like the suggested design of the EDAW report. She spoke to the design that would require a down ramp into a full City block size underground parking garage in the 400 block of Princess Street. In that particular block of Princess Street you have homes adjacent to hers, all of whom have no off-street parking. This is the block where they must park. The huge curb cuts would take at least three if not more parking spaces off of that block. In addition, there are two other illustrative plans in the RFP, one of which would call for in the southern block a massive, four-story 68-unit apartment building with a down ramp off of Princess Street into an underground garage, as well as a second curb cut into surface parking for two four-story garden-level apartments. This density is too high. She intends to attend the bidder's conference on Tuesday. She stated that there has been no effort on ARHA's part to involve the neighbors.

Members of City Council participated in the discussion.

(d) Susan Brita, 420 Princess Street, associated herself with Carolyn Merck's remarks. She expressed concerns about seeing a proposal with a four-story apartment building directly opposite her home and no one to her knowledge was even asked to participate in any kind of concept development. She stated that they agreed in concept to a mixed-income mixed-density proposal and that was all that they agreed to. She stated that they are looking to City Council to keep this an open process.

Mayor Donley explained the process of the task force that he and Councilman Euille sit on.

Council Member Rich suggested that Council express today some sense of Council that the RFP contains some suggestions that are just suggestions, that others would be welcome and there ought to be other ways that people in the community who have not had an opportunity to comment on some of the suggestions be able to do so. He thought that would be helpful to be taken to the pre-bid conference.

Ms. Brita stated that a reaffirmation that this proposal is just in concept would be extremely helpful, rather than that these are the concept designs. She further stated that Council is just reaffirming that in concept that it is, as well as the neighborhood, endorsing the concept of mixed-density and mixed-income and that all types of proposals would be considered by ARHA, not just the four that are in the RFP.

WHEREUPON, upon motion by Council Member Rich, seconded by Councilman Euille and carried unanimously, the sense of Council is that the RFP for ARHA is conceptual and that the suggested land uses or designs are merely illustrative. The voting was as follows:

Rich "aye" Pepper "aye"
Euille "aye" Cleveland "aye"
Donley "aye" Speck "aye"
Walker "aye"

New Business Item No. 1: Mayor Donley spoke to his memorandum that he had sent to City Council regarding the ARHA Board appointments that Council were planning to make Tuesday. He asked Council's concurrence to defer the appointments and consider some changes to the ARHA Board. He suggested that Council eliminate the Landlord-Tenant representative to ARHA, but do not forego that linkage, that in its place, there would be an ARHA representative going to Landlord-Tenant. This would eliminate one seat on the ARHA Board. He also asked that the two remaining citizen seats that Council is about to fill on Tuesday be delayed and that Council only fill one of those seats. He stated changes to the enabling legislation would have to be amended. He indicated that the applicants who had filed for those seats, their applications would still remain active for the one remaining seat, but it probably would have to be readvertised for that particular position.

WHEREUPON, a motion was made by Council Member Rich, seconded by Vice Mayor Pepper that City Council defer the appointment of the two citizen positions and ask the City Attorney to bring back the appropriate resolution in an amended form to adopt this concept within 30 days.

General Discussion. Councilman Cleveland stated that the appointments that are there should remain there. He stated that ARHA should have advocates for low- and moderate-income housing. He stated that lowering the number is not going to make that much of a difference, and he thinks that this Council should stick to its original proposal to keep the Board the way it is.

Councilman Euille requested that when this comes back he would like to know why it was expanded in 1990 to the current number of 9. He would like to know more about the rationale for the numbers in terms of 9 versus 7, or 5 versus 7, etc.

WHEREUPON, Council returned to the motion made by Council Member Rich, seconded by Vice Mayor Pepper and carried on a vote of 6-to-1, City Council deferred the appointment of the two citizen positions and asked the City Attorney to bring back the appropriate resolution in an amended form to adopt this concept within 30 days. The voting was as follows:

Rich "aye" Cleveland "no"
Pepper "aye" Euille "aye"
Donley "aye" Speck "aye"
Walker "aye"

(General Discussion. Councilman Speck returned to the discussion regarding the RFP for the Housing Authority. He raised the question that if you are stating that the specific proposals in the RFP are now concepts that we might have difficulty in having bidders respond. The City Attorney will look at the RFP to see if a bid problem has been created by just changing specific request to concept. The City Attorney will report at the end of the meeting.)
