ORAL REPORTS BY MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL

(a) Councilwoman Woodson reported on and shared information from the conference she attended in her role in the National League of Cities Steering Committee for Finance, Administration and Intergovernmental Relations, and the gist of it was to bring the City Futures Committee together with the Finance Committee so they could begin to look at what's happening with the Federal government, but also at the State level as it pertains to taxes and what kind of an impact that will ultimately have on localities. She said some of the warnings was the tax sunsets and whether the Federal government will allow those tax sunsets, if they do not and there is a continuation and what type of impacts it will be on localities. She said she hoped that in the fall, or at some point next year, Council invite two of the speakers from the conference, as both are interested and willing to speak to Council. One was Paul Posner, Director of the Public Affairs Department at George Mason University. The other was from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and Nick Johnson is the Director of the State fiscal project. She said both are local and both were very clear and succinct and will bring a lot to the table for Council.

(b) Councilwoman Woodson asked Council to get involved in the Virginia Municipal League and the National League of Cities. She said the median size of the NLC membership was 89,000 for the FAIR Committee, which is the one that creates the policy that the NLC lobbyist takes to Congress, and that represents all of their opinions, but in fact it doesn't. She said some of the people on the committee are representing cities that are as small as 8,000, and they are making decisions along with the rest of them. She said the City brings something very different to the table.

(c) Councilman Smedberg said that at the last Northern Virginia Regional Commission meeting, there was a discussion about the recent regional visioning project that is underway with COG, the Board of Trade and another group. The discussion revolved around the fact that Virginia in general is not really part of that process. He said that if the City hasn't been contacted, that it should contact COG to be sure they are a part of that process.

City Manager Hartmann said the City has already applied to do that.
Council Action:_________________________________________________________

ORAL PRESENTATIONS BY MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL

(a) Councilman Krupicka said reflecting on a conversation earlier today about the flooding, the rain and the backflow preventers, it occurred to him that perhaps Council should empower the City Manager over the summer to use the money from contingent reserves to reinstate the backflow preventer program.

Mayor Euille said he and staff spoke about it yesterday and feel it is something that needs to be reinstated. He said since there was no opposition from Council, he gave the green light to the City Manager to move forward.

(b) Councilman Krupicka said the COG has been working on the issue for awhile, but on September 29 they will have a Regional Green Building Summit to talk about establishing a Metropolitan area consistent approach to green buildings for all the jurisdictions. He encouraged staff to continue to participate in the summit.

(c) Councilman Krupicka said he went to Richmond last week to attend the first meeting of the Governor's Start Strong Preschool initiative. He said the Governor's charge to the group is to give him a preliminary report by October so he can include at least some preliminary preschool initiatives in the next budget, and he said he is encouraged by the Governor's action in moving forward with new policies. Councilman Krupicka pointed out a letter received by the Early Childhood Commission, which points out a number of areas where because of Federal or State or other funding challenges, Alexandria is falling behind as it relates to serving children in preschool, whether it be childcare or preschool programs, a lot is because of lost Federal money that passes through the State to the City. He said he thought it would become an increasing issue for the City. He said the City needs to start thinking hard about how they make sure it doesn't lose ground while it tries to move forward. He said he hoped staff could come back in September with some thoughts on how to address some of the things the ECC requested.

Mayor Euille said that was on the agenda and discussed at the joint Council School Board monthly meeting. He said in terms of the immediate needs, that has been addressed by both the Schools and Parks and Recreation. The budgetary/funding issues is something they will continue to review and work on, but he also suggested that when the new School Board and City Council take office, that one of the first joint work sessions between the School Board and City Council have this as an item.

(d) Councilman Smedberg said the issues surrounding the Mirant Plant and particularly the issue with the Virginia State DEQ are becoming pretty serious. He said there is a draft SOP that the state is looking at right now and they appear to be moving toward issuing the SOP without first testing all the pollutants. He said the City has sent a letter to the State Director asking for postponement until they have done the proper testing. Congressman Moran has also sent a letter to the EPA asking that the new EPA order issued in June increasing production at the Plant be rescinded since it accelerates already unhealthy air in Alexandria. He said Elizabeth Chimento, who is on the task force, attended one of the State hearings in Richmond last week and testified. Councilman Smedberg asked to work with the City Attorney to see what else it can do in terms of getting comments to the State. He said it appears it will be issued soon and the City needs to act as quickly as possible. He said he also wanted to see if the City sent the letter on Trona to the Governor's Office.
