Vice Mayor Euille asked the status of the research for private grants and funding sources for placing art in City projects.
Chair Herzog stated that we do have a listing of corporations and foundations that do give funding to the arts.
Vice Mayor Euille spoke to the King Street Gardens Park. He stated that the current planting/landscaping is not pleasing to the eye. He indicated that we need to do whatever needs to be done to correct it as whatever it is supposed to be is just not working. We should try to come up with something that will be everlasting because what's there is horrible looking. Vice Mayor Euille is willing to work with whomever on the KISMET group or any other organization to help us find a better vegetation or planting plan because what's there now, certainly cannot continue.
City Manager Lawson stated, after the budget is presented, she would like to give Council a report and perhaps some recommendations to this park, because she thinks there are fundamental and problematic issues with this park.
Council Member Walker stated that she would like to see a positive look at the park. Some people have talked about using it as a room and actually having some gauze drapery type things put on it so that it becomes a room. She indicated that she has talked with St. Elmo's who would like to bring coffee and additional tables in so that we could actually treat it as a place where you could get a cup of coffee in the morning as you leave the Metro. She noted that these were ideas suggested to her and maybe the Arts Commission could come back with some plans for King Street Gardens Park that would make it really function better as a piece of art and also as a garden. Council Member Walker indicated that that would be helpful to Council.
Mayor Donley said that that was a good suggestion. He indicated that perhaps providing some amenity or draw would increase the usage of the park. Mayor Donley agreed to Vice Mayor Euille's comment about the vegetation at this park. He would look forward to any input that the Commission on the Arts would have about the ongoing maintenance of that park as well as an increased vitality of it.
WHEREUPON, upon motion by Vice Mayor Euille, seconded by Councilwoman Pepper and carried unanimously, City Council received the report and thanked the Alexandria Commission for the Arts for its efforts on behalf of the arts and the City. The voting was as follows:
Euille "aye" Cleveland "aye"
Pepper "aye" Rich "aye"
Donley "aye" Speck "aye"

The resolution reads as follows:
RESOLUTION NO. 1913
WHEREAS, in 1986 Congress enacted legislation to create the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, an independent regional authority to manage Reagan National and Dulles International Airports and to minimize the federal government’s involvement in how those airports are operated; and
WHEREAS, the federal high density or slot rule and perimeter rule along with the authority to restrict late night noise were pivotal in reaching a political consensus among federal, state, regional, and local interests in supporting the legislation that transferred National and Dulles Airports to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority; and
WHEREAS, the high density rule is one of the fundamental air traffic management tools in the Washington-Baltimore Regional Airport System Plan and Reagan National Airport’s Master Plan; and
WHEREAS, the modification of the perimeter rule and/or high density rule would upset the economic balance this region has worked hard to strike between Reagan National and Dulles Airports and would also impact service patterns at Baltimore Washington International Airport; and
WHEREAS, changes in the slot and perimeter rules would affect local land use plans based on future noise contours in the Part 150 Noise Compatibility Plan that was recently approved by the Federal Aviation Administration. The noise contours were based on the continuation of the high density rule as it is currently administered; and
WHEREAS, the elimination or modification of the slot and perimeter rules will have a negative impact on the early morning and nighttime noise caused by aircraft operating at Reagan National Airport which will reduce the quality of life for thousands of residents of the City of Alexandria;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT Alexandria City Council opposes the elimination of or modification to the high density (slot) rule and the perimeter rule at Reagan National Airport and urges the Congress to recognize the negative impact of these proposed changes on the citizens of Alexandria.
