Councilman Speck reported that the committee met in a public meeting to receive some suggestions, requests and considerations, and he explained the recommendations before the Council.

Councilman Cleveland stated that he has received calls from people who are unhappy about the name change of Ellen Coolidge Burke Library and the sharing of the site. He recommended to them that they come to speak at Saturday's public hearing. Councilman Speck and Mayor Donley participated in the discussion.

City Manager Sunderland stated that the public hearing item to be addressed is the issue of naming only. If people wish to address the Burke facility, they can do so at 9:30 at the Saturday morning public hearing. The City Manager reminded everyone that notices have been put out that there will be a public meeting on June 21, at 7:30 p.m. at Hammond School where a staff presentation will be made on different architectural renderings for the building, library programs, ESL programs, and adult education programs.

For the record, Vice Mayor Euille commented on docket item nos. 14 and 15 together. Based on the testimony received at the public hearing on the Consolidated Housing Plan, concerns were expressed dealing with transitional housing, ownership, affordable housing, rental, etc. Council certainly reacted to and committed themselves to doing a better job in addressing and meeting overall housing needs for our citizens in order to maintain diversity throughout the City. He indicated that this is certainly a move in the right direction, but it is only a small piece of the puzzle. He noted that we need to be more visionary. He stated what Council will begin at its Retreat this fall is a comprehensive, cohesive, concrete plan for housing, and what will hopefully evolve from that will be a housing forum to take place some time early in the fall.

City Manager Sunderland reported that there will be an item on housing and affordable housing. After that staff will present a package with a variety of options. He suggested that it might then be appropriate to take that package and have it reviewed and recommendations come back to you by or from a task force that you put together.

Mayor Donley announced that he is the chair of the Washington Area Housing Partnership which has now scheduled a regional housing conference and will probably address a lot of these same issues. He suggested that we might look at how we can coordinate and collaborate with that group as well.

WHEREUPON, upon motion by Councilwoman Pepper, seconded by Council Member Walker and carried unanimously, City Council: (1) approved the request from the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee to allocate up to $500,000 from the Housing Trust Fund for a transitional housing and case management program to expand the housing options currently available to the City's homeless; and (2) authorized staff to issue a Request for Grant Proposals (RFGP) to identify one or more Alexandria and/or regional organizations to provide these services on a contractual basis. The RFGP would be issued with the stipulation that the City reserves the right to provide these services itself, should the City determine that it would be best to do so. The voting was as follows:

ORAL PRESENTATIONS BY MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL

(a) Vice Mayor Euille highlighted the City Manager's earlier comments with regard to a community forum on services and programs at the Burke Library facility under the shared-use concept. This forum will take place on Wednesday, June 21, at 7:30 p.m. at the Francis C. Hammond Middle School, and it's an opportunity to provide interested citizens to come out and learn about the services, programs and materials that will be available at the Burke facility in the spring of 2001. As the City Manager noted, staff will be doing a presentation, providing architectural renderings in terms of proposed layout, and providing an opportunity for citizens to provide input into the process prior to the final determination regarding the shared-use and the layout.

(b) Vice Mayor Euille announced that Council has formally appointed the ad hoc task force on the Carlyle/PTO development project. The purpose of the task force is to make recommendations to LCOR, the developer, and CDC regarding the type and mix of retail uses in Carlyle, the use of the PTO parking garages by patrons of nearby retail shops and restaurants and the public, the public use of the PTO auditorium and other facilities, traffic movement, both within and adjacent to Carlyle, and other recommendations to enhance the livability of the Carlyle community with PTO. Councilman Speck and he will be the Council representatives to this task force as appointed by the Mayor. The first meeting will occur on Wednesday, June 28, at 7:30 p.m. at the Society for Human Resources building.

(c) Councilman Speck asked the Manager how we are doing on the King Street underpass. City Manager Sunderland responded that a letter has been sent to CSX telling them that we would have a conference call in about a week or so. The letter essentially stated that CSX needs to clean up, landscape and do some painting.

(d) Councilman Speck noted that the City Manager will be coming back to Council on June 27, with some recommended allocations to continue the traffic enforcement program, and he asked if there is any information that would make us feel that the morning needs to be looked at or has that been pretty manageable? If there is any reason to think that there are some additional elements of this that we want to try out to see what the effect is, the summer would be a good time to do it. Are there any additional intersections that would suggest a need to have some additional personnel at those intersections as we're seeing the effect on the ten that we have already assigned someone?

Lieutenant Butler responded that the police did look at the morning rush hour but felt that to effectively evaluate whether this was going to work we really wanted to focus on one or the other, and we felt that the evening rush hour typically had worse bottlenecks. That is why the evening rush hour was chosen.

The police initially identified about 15 or 16 intersections but thought that would be too many to effectively staff so it was cut down to the 10 worst ones. They were grouped together because we felt if the staffing was spread out all over Old Town and other places, one intersection would be clear but then the next one would be blocked, and so we really wouldn't be able to tell how effective things were.

Mayor Donley stated this is a good idea and it is working. Just from the effects that we witness on a day-to-day basis and the feedback we get from our citizens, it's been a success and we need to continue it. The Mayor prefers that we hold off on any consideration of the morning, particularly during the summertime. He would rather evaluate the program and consider whether Council should expand it in September rather than at this point.

(e) Councilman Speck inquired about some data presented during the Consent Calendar about some changes in the ordinance regarding the red light camera. He noted that Council has not received any data on the Taylor Run/Duke Street fake camera, yet the police report there has been a dramatic decline in red light violations. One of the things Council discussed was if that particular location was effective in terms of advertising and promoting those warnings that Council would want to consider it some other places as well.

Legislative Director Caton advised that this data was in one of the budget memos done on the red light camera. He noted that the Taylor Run and Duke Street intersection was mentioned, and it has helped cut back on the violations there. Legislative Director Caton will get that data to Council.

(f) Mayor Donley just returned this afternoon from Seattle from the U.S. Conference of Mayors. One of the items receiving considerable discussion, not only in one of his standing committees but also before the entire session, is the Conservation and Restoration Act which is currently before the United States Senate. It has passed the House overwhelmingly. The U.S. Conference of Mayors has asked all of the Mayors in attendance to get back and bring this matter before their respective bodies to pass a resolution endorsing this act. This would take revenue from oil and gas leases, particularly off-shore oil and gas leases, and bring it directly to localities for water conservation, land conservation and the land acquisition of urban parks. This is about a 2.8 billion dollar program and is an annual, recurring source of revenue for the nation's cities.

Mayor Donley indicated that he will provide some draft points to the City Manager and asked him to docket the resolution that would put the Council on record favoring this legislation. Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities Director Whitmore stated that the Park and Recreation Commission has already done this.
