As you know, Chairman Bryant's term as 19 Chairman of the Commission expired on January 1, 20 2019. And as of yet, the President has not 21 appointed a replacement. The Bylaws require the 22 Commission to elect one of its members to perform Neal R. Gross and Co., Inc. (202) 234-4433 Washington DC www.nealrgross.com 4 1 the function of Chairman at the start of each 2 meeting, with the understanding that the Vice 3 Chairman is the likely person to be elected to 4 run the meeting. Thus, to officially convene the 5 open session, the Commission must nominate and 6 vote on selecting someone who would run the March 7 open session. 8 Can I have a motion for that? 9 MEMBER DIXON: I move that the 10 Commission elect Mr. Gallas, the Commission's 11 Vice Chair, to run the March 7th, 2019, 12 Commission meeting. 13 VICE CHAIRMAN GALLAS: Is there a 14 second? 15 MEMBER WHITE: Second. 16 VICE CHAIRMAN GALLAS: I've heard a 17 motion and a second. All in favor say aye. 18 (Chorus of ayes.) 19 Any opposed? 20 (No response.) 21 Thank you. The motion that I, as Vice 22 Chairman, would run our meeting has been moved Neal R. Gross and Co., Inc. (202) 234-4433 Washington DC www.nealrgross.com 5 1 and seconded and approved. And I thank you, 2 Fellow Commissioners, for electing me to run this 3 meeting. 4 Report of the Vice-Chairman 5 VICE CHAIRMAN GALLAS: Okay. Agenda 6 Item 2 is a Report of the Vice-Chairman. That's 7 me. 8 (Laughter.) 9 At last month's meeting, we recognized 10 the past service of Commissioner Rhodes, who 11 served for nine years on the Commission on behalf 12 of the Secretary of Defense. Mr. Rhodes sent a 13 great response back thanking the Commissioner 14 members and staff. And I would like to read a 15 short excerpt from his note. 16 "The Commission is exceptionally 17 blessed to have the tremendous professional staff 18 that supports them, starting with the Executive 19 on down. They are exceptionally effective. They 20 are distinctive skilled and knowledgeable in 21 their disciplines. They consistently consider 22 all the sides of an issue as they develop Neal R. Gross and Co., Inc. (202) 234-4433 Washington DC www.nealrgross.com 6 1 positions. They are creative and accommodating. 2 Truly, they are everything one would want from a 3 planning staff. It was a privilege to experience 4 their work and support. 5 "I also must share what a true 6 pleasure it was working with the Commission 7 members." That's us. "A governing body like 8 this represents various organizations, various 9 perspectives, and brings to the discussions many 10 individual experiences. Yet, we do so with the 11 common charge of the Commission Charter. I was 12 consistently struck by the thoughtful discussions 13 and questions of the Commissioners and the 14 respectful, professional discourse. It was a 15 professional and a personal pleasure to be 16 afforded the privilege of working with each 17 Commissioner." 18 So, we really thank former 19 Commissioner Rhodes for his kind and 20 complimentary words. 21 I also would like to welcome back 22 Commissioner White who has been absent for too Neal R. Gross and Co., Inc. (202) 234-4433 Washington DC www.nealrgross.com 7 1 long. We're very glad you're back. 2 Report of the Executive Director 3 VICE CHAIRMAN GALLAS: Okay. Moving 4 to Agenda Item 3, is the report of the Executive 5 Director, Mr. Acosta. 6 MR. ACOSTA: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, 7 and thank you to Mr. Rhodes for those very kind 8 comments. And also, welcome back to Commissioner 9 White. 10 I'd like to congratulate our Office of 11 Public Engagement staff for recently winning 12 three different national awards for the work on 13 our revamped agency website. I'll note that this 14 website was done totally in-house and by our 15 staff, and it was implemented by Steve Morgan, 16 Paul Jutton, Stephen Staudigl, led by Julia 17 Koster. So, thank you for your great work there. 18 I would also like to take this 19 opportunity to thank the staff for their work on 20 the Small Cell Guidelines analysis. That is on 21 today's agenda. Almost every planner in this 22 agency worked on that. They went on a field Neal R. Gross and Co., Inc. (202) 234-4433 Washington DC www.nealrgross.com 8 1 trip. They did field work out on the monumental 2 core. That kind of led to the recommendations in 3 the dead of winter. 4 And I do thank them for their great 5 work on that. So, thanks very much, Diane 6 Sullivan, Matt Flis, Beth Miller, and Karin 7 Schierhold, for leading this effort. 8 And that concludes my report, Mr. 9 Chairman. And I have a report before you in case 10 you have any questions. 11 [INSERT - REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR] 12 VICE CHAIRMAN GALLAS: Thank you very 13 much. 14 Legislative Update 15 VICE CHAIRMAN GALLAS: Okay. Agenda 16 Item 4 is the legislative update. Ms. Schuyler? 17 MS. SCHUYLER: Thank you, Mr. Vice- 18 Chair.

  • Urban Agenda: Washington, D.C. As Ranked by the Trust for Public Lands, 2015 City Park ​ Facts Report, Washington D.C
    Urban Agenda: Washington, D.C. As ranked by the Trust for Public Lands, 2015 City Park ​ Facts report, Washington D.C. is second in the nation for its ​ high percentage of parkland and open space across the city. What makes Washington, D.C. unique is that nearly 90% of all parkland in the District - more than 6,700 acres or 20% of the city land area, is under National Park Service’s jurisdiction. NPS parklands are scattered throughout the city with hundreds of local neighborhood parks and green space, as well as, several of the Nation's most visited, iconic, and historic sites, including the National Mall, the Lincoln Memorial, Rock Creek Park, and the White House. In 2010, the National Capital Planning Commission along with the Government of the District of Columbia and the National Park Service jointly established the CapitalSpace initiative to assess ​ ​ Washington’s parks and open spaces and develop strategies to, “create healthy and sustainable neighborhoods, enrich the capital city experience, and protect our natural, cultural, and historic resources.” One of the “Six Big Ideas” set forth in the CapitalSpace plan is to “transform small parks into successful public ​ ​ spaces” to addresses fundamental social, economic, environmental, and community needs. By focusing at the neighborhood scale, the NPS, city agencies, and partners can better serve local residents, particularly those traditionally marginalized and living in underserved neighborhoods in the Southeast quadrant of DC. One of the NPS park sites receiving focused attention is Shepherd Parkway, which is located within the Ward 8 neighborhood of Congress Heights in SE DC.
