REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CITY MANAGER (continued)

13. Public Hearing on the School Board Redistricting Options. (#23 5/14/02)

(A copy of the City Manager and City Attorney's memorandum dated May 10, 2002, is on file in the office of the City Clerk and Clerk of Council, marked Exhibit No. 1 of Item No. 13; 5/28/02, and is incorporated herewith as part of this record by reference.

A letter from David W. Brown, Member, Executive Board, North Ridge Citizens Association, and his wife, Patricia R. Brown, dated May 28, 2002, is on file in the office of the City Clerk and Clerk of Council, marked Exhibit No. 2 of Item No. 13; 5/28/02, and is incorporated herewith as part of this record by reference.)

The following persons participated in the public hearing on this item:

Jesse Jennings, 1019 Oronoco Street, spoke on the need to move forward and in support of option no. 1, which is closest to what we now have;

David Brown, 503 Woodlawn Terrace, representing North Ridge Citizens Association, stated that the three-district system has proved itself, and he urged the adoption of option no. 5;

Cameron Barron, 3915 Bruce Street, #206, representing the Tenants' and Workers' Support Committee, spoke in support of the nine-district option in order to improve what we currently have; and

Owen Curtis, 5465 Fillmore Avenue, stated that our elected representatives need to broadly represent the population, and the way to bring people together is to continue with the system that we have. He personally favors option nos. 6 and 8

The City Council Members spoke to their preferred options and conveyed their thanks to the City Manager, City Attorney and Electoral Board for their guidance and input in the process.

Councilman Euille stated that this process has allowed the community to take a very serious look at everything. He thanked everyone who spoke and sent e-mails; however, he expressed his concern about the lack of representative guidance and input from organizations that represent the schools and the school system.

Councilwoman Woodson spoke about the issue of citizen apathy and of the need for them to be more involved. She encouraged the City Council and Electoral Board to consider all the different options available for voting practices from across the country and find some methodology for getting people involved in our school system and in the political process.

City Attorney Pessoa publicly thanked Steve Chozick, GIS Manager of Planning and Zoning, and the people in the Electronic Publishing Office for their invaluable assistance with the options graphics. The Mayor thanked the City Attorney for his hard work as well.

WHEREUPON, upon motion by Councilman Euille, seconded by Vice Mayor Cleveland and carried unanimously, City Council: (1) selected school board redistricting option 1, and requested the city attorney to prepare the necessary implementing ordinance; (2) to introduce the ordinance on Tuesday, June 11, 2002; (3) schedule the public hearing on the ordinance for Saturday, June 15, 2002; and (4) adopt the ordinance on Tuesday, June 25, 2002. The voting was as follows:

Euille "aye" Eberwein "aye"
Cleveland "aye" Pepper "aye"
Donley "aye" Speck "aye"
Woodson "aye"

14. Consideration of the Windmill Hill Park Recommended Concept Plan and Alternative Plans. (#17 4/13/02; #18 4/9/02)

(A copy of the City Manager's memorandum dated May 21, 2002, is on file in the office of the City Clerk and Clerk of Council, marked Exhibit No. 1 of Item No. 14; 5/28/02, and is incorporated herewith as part of this record by reference.

Communications received on this item are on file in the office of the City Clerk and Clerk of Council, marked collectively as Exhibit No. 2 of Item No. 14; 5/28/02, and is incorporated herewith as part of this record by reference.)

Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities Director Whitmore summarized the different elements of the plans and went over the options. Director Whitmore and Greg Long of Baker & Associates participated in the discussion with Council about the proposed gazebo.

Councilwoman Eberwein requested clarification, for the record, about the square footage of the plan's proposed dog exercise area as compared to the size of the current exercise area. Councilwoman Eberwein wanted to make sure that there was no misconception about the square footage of those parks. Director Whitmore stated that the plans are not wrong. She explained that the current dog exercise area does not include the setbacks of 60 feet from the stream and 50 feet from the residential area, and as the park is redesigned, the setbacks that were passed as part of the dog park master plan will be enforced. So the area that is being used now as the dog exercise area will be smaller when we put in the setbacks.

Responding to Councilwoman Woodson's inquiry about how enforcement will be handled, Director Whitmore explained that a berm will be installed and bollards marked with a paw print will be placed to visually mark the boundaries of the dog exercise area. Enforcement will be self-enforced.

Councilwomen Pepper and Woodson participated in a discussion with Director Whitmore about regulating the boat tie-ups

Councilman Speck discussed the relocation of the dog park and brought up the possibility of federal funds becoming available to us being enhanced by not retaining that particular parcel of land as a dedicated space for dogs to run free-of-leash. He explained that is not a guarantee that there's going to be any money forthcoming, but he has had enough different conversations about where those funds are and what their availability is to think that the possibility of getting funds is enhanced. Councilman Speck expressed his conviction that if the dog run is relocated, it ought to be reflected that it is Council's strong intent that a dog exercise area be identified clearly as part of the master plan for this park.

Mayor Donley listed the important benefits in the plan, largely the result of the hard work of not only the staff and the consultant, but the citizen task force as well: removal of the pilings, rebuilding the bulkhead, stream restoration, retention of the playground, basketball, and volleyball, introduction of educational elements, and a kayak launch. The dog exercise area is in the plan, and there has never been any discussion of eliminating it from the plan. He stated his belief that when you plan parks, you plan them for people.

Councilwoman Woodson brought up the question of the safety of the boat slips, and City Attorney Pessoa assured her that the City has no liability issue in relation to the boat tie-ups because of the reasonable care given to the design by the City.

Director Whitmore addressed Councilwoman Woodson's question about the dredging which would be required for the boat slips and future dredging costs for maintaining the slips.

Director Whitmore participated in the discussion with Council about the two access points to the water which are now available to dogs. Council's preference is to have the designated access to the water at the north end of the bay due to the new location of the dog exercise area.

As a next step in the process, the City Manager will return to Council after developing a financing plan.

WHEREUPON, a motion was made by Councilman Euille and seconded by Vice Mayor Cleveland to approve the concept plan as recommended by the Task Force.

THEREUPON, a motion to amend the motion on the floor was made by Councilman Speck, seconded by Councilwoman Eberwein and carried on a vote of 4-to-3, to direct staff to bring back to Council a final design with the relocation of the dog park in the northwest corner and the relocation of the volleyball court and the construction of the gazebo in what had been previously the designated dog run area. The voting was as follows:

Speck "aye" Cleveland "no"
Eberwein "aye" Euille "no"
Donley "aye" Pepper "no"
Woodson "aye"

WHEREUPON, Council returned to the main motion, as amended, and upon motion by Councilman Speck, seconded by Councilwoman Eberwein and carried on a vote of 6-to-1, City Council adopted the concept plan for Windmill Hill Park as recommended by the Task Force, with the changes and recommendations passed by the Council. The voting was as follows:

Speck "aye" Cleveland "no"
Eberwein "aye" Euille "aye"
Donley "aye" Pepper "aye"
Woodson "aye"

REPORTS OF BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES

None

REPORTS BY MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL

None

ORAL PRESENTATIONS BY MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL

(a) Councilwoman Pepper announced that John Chapman Gager had died. She explained that he had claimed to be the attorney for the Old Town Yacht Basin representing Katie Lang, and he frequently appeared before Council at the public hearing meetings to speak during the public discussion period.

(b) Councilwoman Pepper related that on May 19, the Alexandria City Employee Chorus joined in a concert at Temple Beth El in honor of Rabbi Fink, and their performance "rocked" the synagogue. She acknowledged the people who participated: Callie Terrell, Mildrilyn Davis, Virginia Clarke, Evelyn Harper, Sandra Brown, Jacqueline Jones, Gertrude Harvey, Cynthia Davis, Darryl Edwards and Director Lindsey Baker.

(c) Councilman Speck read from some letters from youngsters who have applied for a Louis Yuhasz scholarship to attend summer camp for overweight children. He explained that Council supported the scholarship program but it didn't cost the City any money, and he expressed the thought that little things that Council does can make a difference.

(A copy of the letters from which Councilman Speck read are on file in the office of the City Clerk and Clerk of Council, marked collectively as Exhibit No. 1 of Oral (c); 5/28/02, and is incorporated herewith as part of this record by reference.)

(d) Mayor Donley stated that since he is not running for re-election and has no stake in it, he asked the City Manager to bring back a plan for City Council consideration of future Council salaries. The Mayor recommended that the City Manager develop a process by which Council can objectively consider the prospects of making a change, including a survey of what other jurisdictions are doing, and perhaps the creation of a small task force of former elected officials to make a recommendation to Council.
