City Council held a Work Session on After-School Programming at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Workroom.
Mayor Donley and City Manager Lawson made opening remarks. Deputy City Manager Steele went over the background and gave an overview of the issues. Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities Director Whitmore and Management and Budget Director Godwin responded to questions and participated in the discussion with Members of Council and Ms. Steele.
Mayor Donley recognized certain members of the audience to address the Council with their concerns. Concern was expressed about before-school care.
It was the consensus of Council that staff proceed with the development of a model program and a pilot program; however, more information is needed on the appropriate location. We are to use the resources that are available to us; i.e., Parks and Recreation, Campagna Center, Hopkins House, Schools, etc., to develop an after-school program with accountability. It was noted that this does not mean that there will be no Recreation after-school programs.
The work session was concluded at approximately 7:30 p.m.
(Material pertaining to this work session is on file in the office of the City Clerk and Clerk of Council and incorporated herewith as part of the record.)

Staff will bring suggested dates back as part of Council's schedule at the next meeting.
Council Member Walker suggested having a workshop at some point on this issue.
Councilman Speck stated that what we are trying to do is to determine whether the warning and notification of photo surveillance serves as a more effective deterrent than none at all. If this proves to be effective, then there are a number of other intersections where the same kind of established facility can take place. He stated that he would like to move forward.
Management and Budget Director Godwin stated that if Council moves forward with this, staff's recommendation to Council will be reflected in June's transfer resolution.
Mayor Donley would like staff to look at putting a "Children at Play" sign, preferably a fluorescent one, on Albany Avenue to try to slow down traffic.

REPORTS OF BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES
None
ORAL PRESENTATIONS BY MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL
(a) Council Member Walker alerted the Members of Council and the staff that the Waterfront Committee has come up with several waterfront repairs that will have to be made over the next year or so. The Waterfront Committee will be coming back with a more specific request with respect to a plan for the needed repairs.
(b) Council Member Walker stated that she is a member of a committee at the Council of Governments which is trying to make sure that local government has a voice in what happens to the Chesapeake Bay. The Chesapeake Bay Act will have to be renewed in the year 2000, and this is often approved at a higher level than local government. She indicated that the committee feels that it is really important at the local level to have a voice in what happens with the reenactment of the Chesapeake Bay Act in the year 2000. Council Member Walker stated that she thinks the City should begin to look very carefully how it can become a Chesapeake Bay community.
(c) Council Member Walker gave Council a copy of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority's "Transit Service Expansion Plan." She stated that this is a proposal that is going to be taken to the Transportation Planning Board of the Council of Governments over the next couple of months to be added hopefully, in all or part, to the new long-range plan for the Washington Metropolitan area. Council Member Walker indicated in the plan is a light rail transit system from Crystal City to Braddock Road, and also transit across the Woodrow Wilson Bridge.
(A copy of the "Transit Service Expansion Plan" is on file in the office of the City Clerk and Clerk of Council, marked Exhibit No. 1 of Oral (c); 4/27/99, and is incorporated herewith as part of this record by reference.)
(d) Councilman Speck noted that he recently needed to get a City sticker. He was really impressed with the recent renovations and with the efficiency of the process. He expressed his thanks to Finance Director Neckel and his staff.
(e) Councilman Speck spoke to an article in last month's Governing Magazine. There was a column by Alan Ehrenhalt about some of the inherent problems of supermajority vote and the real conflict that has with the process of democratic governing. We've gone through a couple of supermajority issues recently, and possibly more coming up in the near future. He stated that the nature of our requirement for a supermajority is when it's applicable, a 4-3 vote of the Planning Commission has more weight than a 5-2 vote of City Council. Councilman Speck asked if Council is willing to discuss this to decide if this is the most effective way for Council to exercise its elected responsibility as the seven Members of Council, in response to the appointed members of the Planning Commission, and whether a majority requirement does conflict with the process of a democratic government. He stated that he would like to have this discussion. If the discussion leads to a further review, then some time earlier in the fall a public hearing could be held on this item to determine whether we want to present this as part of our legislative package.
Mayor Donley would entertain some type of discussion about not only the basis, but also the implications. In many instances, one might say that in this case it denies an applicant a proper recourse or redress of his or her grievances in this, an application to the elected governing body. Mayor Donley suggested that this be discussed at the work session with the Planning Commission in September. In preparation for this work session, Mayor Donley requested some written explanation of the legal foundation and history for the supermajority, and how it is applied in other jurisdictions across the state.
City Manager Lawson suggested that Alan Ehrenhalt be invited to the work session to help amplify on the points he makes in his article.
(A copy of the above article is on file in the office of the City Clerk and Clerk of Council, marked Exhibit No. 1 of Oral (e); 4/27/99, and is incorporated herewith as part of this record by reference.)
(f) Councilwoman Pepper spoke to "Take Your Daughter to Work Day" which was April 22. Her adopted daughter was Sarah Bailey, a 10th grader at St. Stephen's High School.
Mayor Donley spoke to this. It was suggested that this be known in the future as: "Take Your Child to Work Day."
(g) Mayor Donley explained how extremely proud he is of the T.C. Williams High School students who met with President Clinton on Thursday, April 22. The Mayor was impressed with the students' respect for the President, and their in-depth comments of the issues arising from the tragedy in Littleton, Colorado. Mayor Donley commended Principal Porter and the entire staff for a job well done.
(h) Councilman Cleveland spoke to the recent Public Safety Valor Awards Luncheon sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. He congratulated the employees and encouraged them to keep up the good work.
