He said the recent article in the newspaper shows Alexandria as an urban City that has been able to retain its small-town feeling, and that is what makes Alexandria so special, as neighbors help neighbors, organizations pitch in, businesses and residents work side-by-side to make the community better. People care about each other in the community, as witnessed when there is a crisis or tragic event. Mayor Euille said the City is safe, with an increasing population and a steady drop in crime, and people are safer now than they were 10, 20 or 40 years ago and the City is committed to continuing the trend. Mayor Euille said the Schools are strong. He noted that the press has focused attention on certain events and persons in the School system which have little to do with the education of their kids, and certain facts about the Alexandria Public Schools and what they say about the quality of schools must not be lost. Seventy-five percent of the schools have reached the state accreditation benchmark. Last June, 585 graduates from the City's high school went on to post-secondary education and eighty percent took the AP and honor courses and 19 were national achievement scholarship semi-finalists. This December, ground will be broken for the new T.C. Williams High School. All students in grades 9-12 have been given lap-top computers to use at school and at home, and students in the 9th grade center also have lap-tops. The schools in Alexandria are among the best in the Metropolitan area and he and the Council, in working with the School Board, intend to keep them that way. Mayor Euille said the small town in Alexandria can be seen and felt at the weekly farmers market, this weekend's Art on the Avenue in Del Ray, and the Project Discovery walkathon for scholarships for their youth, the citizens who recently banded together to work for more affordable housing, the residents are trained to help their neighbors in a crisis by joining the Community Emergency Response Team, the hundreds of residents who have spent thousands of hours as members of the PTA, who volunteer for Christmas in April, Red Cross Waterfront Festival, the scholarship fund, the Save Freedman Cemetery and protect open space, and Alexandrians will be out in force for the Breast Cancer Walk. Mayor Euille said Alexandria offers the warmth and charm of a small town with amenities and the conveniences of urban living. He said Money Magazine and CNN recently ranked Alexandria as the fourth best place to live in the East Coast and Ladies Home Journal ranked Alexandria as the best City for women. Washingtonian Magazine ranks Del Ray and Beverley Hills as one of the region's hottest neighborhoods. Mayor Euille said Alexandria is the envy of many in the Washington region for its unique blend of history, the waterfront, involved citizenry, quality of life, popular stores and restaurants, recreation opportunities and its great location. Mayor Euille said that he has great pride in Alexandria and he knew everyone on Council loves the City as well as he does. He challenged every resident, business person and the media to stand up for the City and focus on what is good about Alexandria and not just sit back and listen to the negative comments about their homes. There are many more good things going on and Council would like to hear them, he said, and he invited Alexandrians to send an email to the City about what is great about Alexandria to citymail@alexandriava.gov and responses will be posted on the City's website. (b) Vice Mayor Pepper said three different groups contributed volunteers to help the victims of catastrophe in Florida or Alabama. One of those groups is the Red Cross, who sent ten people to help with Hurricanes Charlie, Frances and Ivan. They are Pauline Angelides, John Angelides, Savatri Goberdhansingh, Gail McCurry, Patricia Myers-Hayer, Angela Palombaro, Tom Robinson, John Soifer, Dianne Woods and Julia Wright. Vice Mayor Pepper said the Alexandria chapter of the Red Cross had the greatest presence in terms of contributing volunteers than any other chapter in the Washington area. Vice Mayor Pepper said CERT sent five volunteers and the City's Health Department also sent five or six volunteers. (c) Councilman Macdonald thanked the Victim Witness Assistance Program in the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office for their work in the recent homicide of Mr. Shah, a Pakistani immigrant who also worked full-time for Pizza Hut. He said the VWAP is working hard to see that the family is taken care of and he knew that Pizza Hut would help the family as well. (d) Councilman Gaines said the CERT volunteers who are helping with the hurricane relief are a real tribute to what the Fire Department is doing. (e) Councilman Gaines commended the Mayor for his comments. He said the citizens are active and engaged and they all agreed that the cake is good, but they like to talk about what kind of frosting they had on it. He echoed the Mayor's comments about focusing on the positive. (f) Councilman Gaines said he had the opportunity through CERT to head to the National Flag Day training for volunteers, and Alexandria sent the largest class. He said it is another tremendous example of the people they have that work for their government and who make up the citizenry. (g) Councilman Gaines said he was the Rock the Vote speaker at T.C. Williams. He said that when his comments to the 75-100 students were over, they sat down for an hour and had a conversation where the students asked questions. Councilman Gaines said he wanted to salute Project Discovery, who are having the walkathon this weekend at Minnie Howard, who put the project on. (h) Councilman Gaines said the City will be besieged from representatives from all other cities in the Commonwealth and he hoped they would be able to talk about the fun and informative things they have planned. Mayor Euille said they would provide an update at the next meeting on the Virginia Municipal League annual conference. He said that just this past weekend, there were over 1,100 staff persons and others from throughout the state who were here as part of the 50th conference of the Virginia Parks and Recreation Association. (i) Councilwoman Woodson acknowledged from Council the death of Jimmy Reed, who was a figure on the streets of Alexandria. She said they all saw Jimmy as a homeless man but it was suggested that he had quite a stash of money, and they all hear stories about people who appear to be homeless but are living on the streets and turn out to be quite wealthy. She said that is a nice urban legend, but there are not a whole lot who are wealthy who live on the street, as the average street person is destitute. (j) Councilman Krupicka said he appreciated Mayor Euille's comments and was reminded that he tried to go to a few back to school nights this year and was surprised that there wasn't press at the back to school nights, because if there had been press, they would have seen parents that were incredibly enthusiastic about the experiences their kids are going through, and they would have seen kids with more energy and excitement about the schools they are at than one would ever imagine. Councilman Krupicka said the parents, teachers, students and principals had enthusiasm and optimism about where they were going and they sometimes find ways to not pay attention to that. Councilman Krupicka said the School Board is working on putting together a committee to work on parental involvement and how they can include parental involvement in the City. (k) Councilman Krupicka thanked the Sister City Program, as his family had an exchange student from France with them for the last two weeks, and the Sister City Program coordinated it. (l) Councilman Krupicka said the Governor had a ceremony at Cora Kelly today celebrating the 100,000 milestone in signing up kids for the Famis Health Care Program, which is for people who are too wealthy for Medicare and not wealthy enough to have private health care. ORAL REPORT FROM THE CITY MANAGER The City Manager reported on the following: (a) there have been a number of incidents in the last couple of weeks and the Police Department is on top of them and he asked Chief Samarra to speak. Police Chief Samarra gave an update on crime in the City. City Manager Sunderland continued his report, as follows: (b) he handed out a copy of the most recent FYI Alexandria; (c) staff passed out a memorandum this week on the Virginia Municipal League events; (d) with VML and the host night dinner on Monday night, people will ask about the Marina, where there is a part of the dock shut down and there is a lot of work that needs to be done, and the $519,000 is the cost to repair, which is Hurricane Isabel related damage that happened last Fall. FEMA has not yet paid for the repairs and the City now waits for an appeal from FEMA as to whether they will pay the $519,000. Mayor Euille asked the City Manager to hold off on the rest of his report in order to take items 25, 26 and 27. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS 25.
