March Beacon Final.Pdf
Dear Neighbor, Last week, County Executive Bryan Hill presented his Fiscal Year 2022 budget proposal. The presentation kicks off our budget process and, like last year, I will be listening to your thoughts, concerns, and reactions before adoption of the final budget on May 4. To that end, on Tuesday, March 30, at 7:00 p.m., I will be hosting a virtual Braddock District Budget Town Hall and the Board of Supervisors will conduct public hearings April 13-15. Homeowners should have received their annual real estate tax assessment and this helpful video explains the assessment process. Additional information on both the town hall and public hearings will be included in next week’s Walkinshaw Advisory email. After public hearings and approval by the Board, Fairfax County has joined our neighboring jurisdictions in banning the use of plastic bags for yard waste. While this change went into effect on March 1, 2021, there is a grace period until April 19, 2021. I encourage everyone to review this yard waste article for helpful tips and reminders on how to manage your yard waste in an environmentally friendly way. Shifting gears to the COVID-19 vaccine, the Fairfax County Health Department has finished sending first-dose invitations for people who registered on January 18, and they are now sending invitations to registrants from January 19. The latest county dashboard reflects this update. Some of our older residents have struggled to find transportation options to get to their vaccination appointments. Fortunately, Fairfax County and compassionate community providers have numerous options to get residents to their appointments. -

Fairfax County Parkway Widening Appropriation Cancellation
VI. NORTHERN VIRGINIA TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY M E M O R A N D U M TO: Chair Phyllis J. Randall and Members Northern Virginia Transportation Authority FROM: Michael Longhi, Chief Financial Officer DATE: February 6, 2020 SUBJECT: FY2020 Regional Revenue Fund Appropriation Cancellation – Fairfax County Parkway Widening from Ox Road to Lee Highway ________________________________________________________________________ 1. Purpose: To seek Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA) budget de-appropriation action for the Fairfax County Parkway Widening from Ox Road to Lee Highway Project. This action does not change the project’s status as an adopted project in the Authority’s FY2018-2023 Six Year Program. 2. Suggested Motion: I move the Authority cancel the FY2020, $67 million appropriation for the Fairfax County Widening from Ox Road to Lee Highway Project, reclassifying the funds in the Regional Revenue Fund from appropriated to restricted. 3. Background: a. The Authority adopted the FY2018 – 2023 Six Year Program on June 14, 2018. b. The Authority appropriated $67 million for this project on April 5, 2019. c. To maintain compliance with Policy 29 – Project Activation, Monitoring and De-Appropriation, projects are expected to execute a Standard Project Agreement (SPA) within three months of appropriation. d. NVTA projects with appropriations are expected to start drawing project funds in the year of appropriation. e. At this time, Fairfax County reports schedule changes related to project phasing and addressing public comments. f. To better match appropriations with expenditures, Fairfax County requests to defer the FY2020 appropriation. This will allow the project the greatest amount of timing flexibility. g. The project will remain an adopted project in the Authority’s FY2018-2023 Six Year Program, with secure funding pending a future appropriation. -

Audit of the Springfield Interchange Project
AUDIT OF THE SPRINGFIELD INTERCHANGE PROJECT Federal Highway Administration Report Number: IN-2003-003 Date Issued: November 22, 2002 Memorandum U.S. Department of Transportation Office of the Secretary of Transportation Office of Inspector General Subject: ACTION: Report on Audit of the Springfield Date: November 22, 2002 Interchange Project IN-2003-003 From: Alexis M. Stefani Reply to Attn. of: JA-30 Principal Assistant Inspector General for Auditing and Evaluation To: Federal Highway Administrator This report presents the results of our audit of the Virginia Department of Transportation’s (VDOT) Springfield Interchange project (Springfield project). The Springfield project, when completed, will improve traffic flow at the junction of Interstates (I)-95, 395, and 495 in Fairfax County, Virginia, which is one of the busiest and most congested interchanges in the country. As originally planned, the project would be constructed in eight phases and involve building or reconfiguring two major junctions along the I-95 corridor. We reviewed the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) oversight of the Springfield project. Our objectives were to determine (1) factors contributing to increased cost estimates and the reasonableness of the current cost estimate, (2) reasonableness of the current schedule, and (3) adequacy of project funding. In addition, we evaluated how deficiencies in VDOT’s project cost estimating process affected Virginia’s ability to implement its 3-year Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (3-year Transportation Plan).1 Exhibit A describes our objectives, scope, and methodology. This audit was done as part of a series of major project reviews. Congressman James P. Moran also requested a review. -
