2. Public Discussion Period.

(a) Patrick Jones, 957 Pegram Street, representing the Polk School PTA and the Polk Playground Committee, spoke to the efforts to build a new playground at Polk School, and requested Council's support for a recommendation from the Park and Recreation Commission to redirect some of the CIP funds originally designated to design a playground at Jones Point. The Commission requested that Council redirect these monies to the Polk Playground Fund in a one-for-two match, up to a total of $10,000. Mr. Jones further asked Council to seriously consider contributing a total of $20,000 with the understanding that the Playground Committee will raise the other $40,000; a copy of his update is on file in the office of the City Clerk and Clerk of Council, marked Exhibit No. 1 of Item No. 2(a), and is incorporated herewith as part of this record by reference.

Mayor Donley asked staff to report back on what the status is of the Park and Recreation Commission's recommendation mentioned by Mr. Jones. Once staff responds to the Park and Recreation Commission's recommendation to Council, then Council will consider it.

(b) Alan Rudd, 2121 Jamieson Avenue, representing the Eisenhower Civic Association, spoke against the location of PTO at Carlyle.

(c) Patti Hulvershorn, 2121 Jamieson Avenue, representing the Eisenhower Civic Association, spoke against the location of PTO at Carlyle.

(d) Alan Kamerow, 2121 Jamieson Avenue, representing the Eisenhower Civic Association, spoke against the location of PTO at Carlyle.

(e) Kirk Lippold, 2121 Jamieson Avenue, representing the Eisenhower Civic Association, spoke against the location of PTO at Carlyle.

(f) Lillie Finklea, 1210 Franklin Street, representing the Southwest Quadrant Civic Association, spoke against the location of the PTO at Carlyle.

(g) John Chapman Gager spoke.

WITHOUT OBJECTION, Mrs. Alan Rudd addressed a question posed by Councilwoman Pepper earlier with respect to the height of the building already included in the Master Plan for this site.

Planning and Zoning Director Lynn noted that LCOR, developer for the PTO at Carlyle, has not come forward because of new requirements asked for by the General Services Administration which has provided another thirty-day extension.

(h) WITHOUT OBJECTION, Councilman Speck, as a point of personal privilege, spoke to Friday's editorial in the Alexandria Journal. He indicated that this is the ninth editorial in the last fifteen months that specifically castigates the City Council actions regarding employee compensation and why that is the sole reason that the City's finances are in such difficulty, and specifically identified by Council's action on October 14, the budget appropriations made for the soccer and baseball as an example of Council being misguided.

Councilman Speck asked the City Manager, at the next Labor Management meeting, if this matter could be brought up to ask those who are affected by this and participated in this to speak to this issue in the way that they are allowed in this free and open democracy that we have and try to point out to the editor that the facts are not as he states them, and to frankly have other people speaking to this issue other than Council continuing to say that's not the case.

Council Member Rich asked that there be no organized campaign by the City Manager on this request.

liability (including attorneys' fees and litigation expenses) arising by reason of the establishment, construction, placement, existence, use or maintenance of the encroachment.

Section 4. That nothing in this ordinance is intended to constitute, or shall be deemed to be, a waiver of sovereign immunity by or on behalf of the City of Alexandria or any of its officers or employees.
