11. Councilwoman Woodson removed this item from the consent calendar and acknowledged that gangs do exist in the City. She raised questions regarding community involvement and involvement in the schools. She spoke to the suspension and expulsion rates within the schools for the community that is being targeted in the report. She indicated that we ought to offer more controls over suspension and that mandatory attendance in whatever kind of suspension program the system institutes is required. Councilwoman Woodson noted that part of the problem with the plan is that it is not an on-site facility, bus service is not provided, and students have to get there some way.

Mayor Donley and Vice Mayor Cleveland will bring forth Councilwoman Woodson's concerns at the next City/Schools Subcommittee meeting.

Councilman Euille commented that he thought as part of the FY 02 Operating Budget that there was a new initiative to address an after-school program for suspended students. He felt that this program probably is not that much different from that. He requested that there be collaboration and coordination between the two programs. Councilman Euille stated his concern that he does not see that there was any input from the school system for the application process, and the school system needs to be involved.

City Council authorized the City Manager to: (1) submit a grant application to the U.S. Department of Justice in the amount of $150,000 to enhance a cooperative community outreach program for crime prevention and criminal prosecution to be administered by the Office of the Commonwealth's Attorney; (2) approve the continuation of two grant-funded positions (one Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney II and one Crime/Outreach Prevention Specialist). These grant-funded positions would terminate upon the expiration of the grant, and the individuals who are in these positions have been notified of this condition of employment; (3) execute all necessary documents that may be required; and (4) due to time constraints the application for this grant was submitted to the Department of Justice pending City Council's approval at its September 11, 2001 legislative meeting. (Separate Motion)

The Office on Women and the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office will directly supervise these positions. These grant-funded positions would terminate upon the expiration of the grant. The individuals who are to fill these positions would be notified of the condition of employment at the time that they are hired, and would sign an agreement of understanding with regard to this condition. It should be noted that there are no funds available in the City budget to continue these activities once the grant funds are expired; and (3) authorized the City Manager to execute all documents that may be required. It was noted that the grant application is due on September 14, 2001. Due to the constrained time line for grant submission, staff submitted the grant application contingent upon City Council approval at its September 11, 2001 meeting.

13. City Council received the Viewers' Report.

14. City Council received the Alexandria Industrial Development Authority Annual Report for the period July 1, 2000 through June 30, 2001.

16. Vice Mayor Cleveland removed this item from the Consent Calendar and expressed concern for youth in the immediate community in that they would not have a place to go should this room be in use.

City Council authorized the City Manager to sign a one-year Addendum with the Child and Family Network Centers to use Room 16 (the multimedia room) from 3:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. for an extended hours program for preschoolers at Charles Houston Recreation Center, 901 Wythe Street. (Separate Motion)

REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CITY MANAGER (continued)

Council Action:_________________________________________________________

18. Consideration of Recommendations Related to Planning for the Redevelopment of Samuel Madden Homes (Downtown).

There was considerable discussion by the Members of City Council, City Manager Sunderland, and ARHA Board Member Miller on this item.

City Council approved the City Manager's recommendation that City Council approve the following terms and conditions related to the redevelopment of the 100 public housing units of the Alexandria Redevelopment and Housing Authority (“ARHA”) Samuel Madden Homes (Downtown) (“SMHD”). Many of these terms and conditions would be included in the Developer Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) solicitation that ARHA will issue in the future in order to solicit developer redevelopment proposals for SMHD, and others would guide the redevelopment process, as well as the process to acquire or develop off-site replacement units. This recommended Council approval regarding RFQ terms is not intended to (nor could it) commit Council to any action on future land use applications regarding the SMHD site. Rather, it is intended to provide Council’s approval of the placement of certain terms and conditions relating to the redevelopment of the SMHD site in the RFQ that will be issued by ARHA.

1. The following elements will be included in the RFQ for the on-site redevelopment of SMHD:

REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CITY MANAGER (continued)
2. The RFQ will be drafted by ARHA staff with City staff assistance. Since the City contemplates providing substantial funding for the off-site replacement units, before it is issued by ARHA the RFQ will be agreed to by the joint City-ARHA Work Group. (As a document related to the sale and acquisition of real property, the RFQ will be handled confidentially and will not be a public document until issued by ARHA.)
D. Off-site replacement units, in addition to new construction, could include the acquisition of one or more existing multi-family rental buildings.

A. The City will grant funds to ARHA to cover the shortfall subject to the terms, conditions and amounts that would be negotiated between the City and ARHA.
REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CITY MANAGER (continued)

C. Without more specificity as to plans and costs, the City cannot commit to funding an unknown shortfall, regardless of its ultimate level. The City will meet a shortfall of up to $3.5 million, but if the shortfall is higher than this, the City and ARHA would have to engage in further discussions on the City providing more funds. Because of these unknowns, it is important that the City and ARHA agree:
Council Action:_________________________________________________________

19. Consideration of Community Development Block Grant Funding for Rehabilitation Work at Jefferson Village.

City Council deferred this item to the October 13, 2001 Public Hearing Meeting.
Council Action:_________________________________________________________

20. Request for a Pedestrian Activated Traffic Signal at the Intersection of North Howard Street and the Pedestrian Entrance to the INOVA Alexandria Hospital Parking Lot.

City Council approved the installation of a pedestrian activated traffic signal at the intersection of North Howard Street and the pedestrian entrance to the Inova Alexandria Hospital parking lot. On April 23, following a public hearing to obtain neighborhood input, the Traffic and Parking Board recommended that City Council approve the installation of a traffic signal (Section 10-2-7 of the City Code directs the Traffic and Parking Board to refer electronic traffic control devices to the City Council for its approval).

ORAL PRESENTATIONS BY MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL

(a) Vice Mayor Cleveland thanked his outside employer, U.S. Capitol Police, for permitting him to be off today for the public hearing meeting since all employees are on alert and all leave has been canceled.

He also thanked members of the ACPMT Board for canceling its retreat on Wednesday as it gave him a day to reflect.

(b) Councilman Euille reported that Vice Mayor Cleveland and he have had discussions with some citizens who would like the City to form a small committee to take a look at the possibility of coming back to Council in a more formal way with a request for a memorial for Martin Luther King, Jr.

The City Manager will coordinate a meeting to take place with a couple of citizens, Vice Mayor Cleveland and Councilman Euille to work with the City Manager and staff in an informal meeting to talk conceptually about what can be done. This would be coming back to City Council at a later date with some type of plan of action, if necessary.










ORAL PRESENTATIONS BY MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL (continued)

(c) Councilman Euille, with respect to the tragic incident which struck our country this week, complimented all City employees, Police Department, Fire Department, City Manager and his staff, and all citizens doing what they could do.

Councilman Euille requested the City Manager to come back to Council at its next legislative meeting on September 25, with some type of array of ideas for consideration by the Council that will reflect the City's commitment to show not only our strength, but also our sympathy to what has happened. He would like something that we can do as a City where we can show our strength, unity, our support that's Alexandria stepping forward doing something which is reflective of all the citizens as opposed to just a few of us having the opportunity to have been able to do something.

(d) Councilwoman Pepper announced that Alexandria was one of three cities that were honored as a "best in" category. Alexandria was chosen because of the fact that we have an outstanding web page due to its usability. She complimented ITS Director Cole, ITS Deputy Shea, and Web Architect Wells for a job well done.

(A copy of the information is on file in the office of the City Clerk.)

(e) Councilwoman Pepper expressed her feelings with the recent National tragedy.

(f) Councilwoman Woodson announced that Alexandria is launching its first Electronic Recycling Day, on September 22, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at 3540 Wheeler Avenue, to drop off outdated, unused electronic equipment.

(g) Councilwoman Woodson commented on the tragedy of this past week and expressed concern and worry for people who happen to practice Islam as a religion and those who look a little different. She is concerned about hate crimes.

(h) Councilwoman Eberwein also spoke to the events of this past week which have been traumatic to all.

(i) Vice Mayor Cleveland spoke to his experiences during this past week.

(j) Councilman Speck spoke to the sign at the King Street underpass encouraging people to contact CSX with respect to improving it. He indicated that there has been some response from CSX on this, but does not want the City to let the pressure up and asked if we could install a different sign to continue to draw attention to this. He suggested something along the lines "that this bridge is owned and maintained by CSX, not by the City of Alexandria." If there is another telephone number since the one currently has been changed by CSX to a recording, then we could provide it. The City should continue to be mounting that offensive.

(k) Mayor Donley congratulated the Police Department on being awarded Reaccredited status by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc.

(l) Mayor Donley announced that over the summer a report card was issued on Kid-Friendly Cities throughout the United States. Alexandria was ranked 14th in the nation for being a Kid-Friendly City.
