Quick Updates
Brian Pate
Neighbors, In no particular order, I wanted to provide you with an update on a few important items in the neighborhood:
?*Thefts from auto
?*PSA 106 expansion
?*Eastern Market Legislation
?*Hine PUD
?*Redistricting
Thefts from auto
As many of you may be aware, in the past two to three weeks we've experienced a rash of thefts from auto around East Cap from 9th St to the park. ?The MO in all cases is the same--smashed rear passenger side window. ?MPD is aware of the issue and recently
made an arrest in PSA 102 of a chronic theft from auto offender. ?However, it is not clear whether or not the offender is linked to our crimes. ?I am organizing a walk this Saturday evening from 12AM to 2AM. ? Five months of counter-smuggling and interdiction
operations along the border of Syria taught me that there is not better deterrent to crime than presence, and that a little goes a long way. ?I'm looking for able bodied volunteers. ?Please contact me at patebc@... if you are interested in a late night
stroll.
PSA 106 expansion
Several weeks ago, MPD1 Commander Hickson reviewed his proposal for reapportioning the Police Service Areas (PSAs) in MPD1. ?The total area of MPD1 will shrink, with objective of better balancing the workload across districts. ?Within MPD1, our PSA, PSA
106, is on the lower end of PSAs in terms of workload (a statistic calculated by tallying the total number of calls received and the total number of responses in a given area). ?As a result, our PSA, PSA 106, will actually expand. ?The change is set to into
effect in January 2012. ?Maps, statistics and more on this soon.
Eastern Market Legislation
At a redistricting meeting held last Tuesday night, CM Wells mentioned that he expects to post the the draft EM legislation on Monday, October 3rd. ?Introduction to Council should occur the following day. ?I'm trying to confirm that CM Wells will hold
a public meeting in the North Hall to review the legislation on 5 October. ?ANC6B intends to hold a listening session on the legislation within a few weeks of introduction, tentatively mid-October.
Hine Planned Use Development (PUD)
I expect Stanton/Eastbanc, developers for the Hine project, to file their PUD paperwork within 30-60 days. ?For those unfamiliar with the PUD process, it is an essential element of the overall development process. ?In exchange for relief from various zoning
requirements, the developer and community stakeholders negotiation a package of community benefits. ?ANCs typically take a lead role in consolidating community input and negotiating with the developers. ?At our ANC6B meeting on October 11th, we will consider
a proposal to establish a Hine sub-committee charged with leading negotiations. ?The sub-committee would include community members from key stakeholder groups. ?I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on the types of benefits we should be seeking. ?My guiding
personal principle is that we should seek benefits that will have an enduring, positive impact on our neighborhood.
Redistricting
The Ward 6 Redistricting Task Force submitted it's final proposal to CM Wells on Wednesday night. ?The TF proposed one change to the ANC6B boundaries, recommending that ANC6C annex the area south of East Capitol St to Independence between 2nd St and 8th
St. ?ANC6B strongly opposes this recommendation and is actively working to overturn the recommendation. ?ANC6B proposes that CM Wells consider and endorse a "status quo" proposal considered by the TF on August 8th. ?At this meeting, the TF voted unanimously
to support this plan. ?SMD05 resident and former Commissioner Ken Jarboe served on the TF, and advocated vigorously for the status quo plan. ?Personally I appreciate the energy he dedicated to the very difficult TF task, and his sound reasoning throughout
the process. ?I've pasted his dissenting opinion on the TF recommendation at the end of this e-mail. ?If you agree with his opinion, I suggest going to the "Hill is Home" blog and voting on their poll to "keep the status quo"
(). ?Alternatively, write CM Wells (twells@...) and share
your concerns. ?
As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns or issues.
All the best,
Brian Pate
Commissioner
ANC6B05
Text of Ken Jarboe's dissenting opinion on the Ward 6 Redistricting Task Force recommendation
"Ward
6 ANC Redistricting Task Force Report
Dissenting opinion of Ken Jarboe September 27, 2011 It is with reluctance that I must oppose the report of the Task Force. While I agree with many recommendations contained in the report, I cannot support a final report that, in the final analysis, violates the Task Force guidelines. Specifically, the final report's boundaries (both ANC and SMD) for ANC 6B and ANC 6C fail to meet the first two guidelines: 1. Recognize neighborhood cohesiveness by grouping residents into ANCs where they are likely to have the most concern about issues that come before their own ANC, and have an affinity of interests and preferences with other residents in the same ANC. 2. To the extent that current boundaries contribute to effective functioning of the ANCs, limit the scope of change to ANC and SMD boundaries. The proposed boundaries violate this criteria on neighborhood cohesion and propose unnecessary major changes to boundaries, especially SMD boundaries. The final report of the Task Force supports the proposals by ANC 6C to transfer three SMDs and part of a fourth to ANC2C/6E and move its southern boundary with ANC 6B from East Capitol Street to Independence Avenue. This would remove the area from the US Capitol (including a part of the Capitol complex) and 8th Street between East Capitol Street and Independence Avenue from ANC 6B and place it in ANC 6C. It has been argued that the shift is justified because, according to the ANC 6A resolution, "the interests and preferences of residents living between G Street NE and East Capitol are identical for the residents between East Capitol and Independence." But the interests and preferences of residents living between East Capitol and Independence are identical for the residents between Pennsylvania Avenue and Independence. By this same logic, the area should remain connected with the area that it shares interests and preferences -- which is the area that it is currently associated with. Shifting the boundary would sever those ties of interests and preferences. In setting the boundaries between 6C and 6E, 6C made a compelling case to the Task Force for retaining an area south of Massachusetts Avenue, N.W. (in opposition to a request by the new 6E) by arguing the need for a continuity of representation. That same compelling case should also hold true for the area south of East Capitol. There is a 35 year continuity of representation in the affected area that the 6C proposal and the Task Force would overturn. If the principle applies to the residents south of Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., it must also apply to the residents south of East Capitol Street. We should not apply one set of principles in one case and the opposite in another case.? The argument has also been made that this shift is required to create a odd number of Commissioners in ANC 6A, which is asserted that it is needed for the proper function of the ANC to avoid deadlocks. While I cannot speak to the specifics of the 6A experience, I would point out that many ANCs function just fine with an even number of Commissioners. For the last decade ANC 6B has had 10 Commissioners [11 districts, but one includes the jail with no one eligible to be a Commissioner] without a problem of deadlocked votes. Nor does having an odd number prevent deadlocks. I have been told that there are cases where Commissions with odd numbers could not even elect a Chairperson because one Commissioner is either absent or abstains. Potential deadlocks are a fact of life in voting and there are parliamentary procedures to deal with deadlock votes. These procedures should be used, rather than change long standing neighborhood boundaries to attempt to create a pseudo-solution that will not necessarily solve the problem. There are also some who have argued that ANCs should be close to equal size (thus it is unfair that ANC 6B has 10 members and 6C would only have 6). I strongly disagree. ANCs are supposed to be about neighborhoods -- not numerical (political) parity among Commissions. I do not believe that we should sacrifice continuity of neighborhood representation for the sake of some theoretical idea of numerical balance. We should not be making decisions for the convenience of Commissions or Commissioners. We should be making decision in the best interest of our residents and neighborhood. Sadly I believe that the final Task Force recommendations on the 6C/6B boundaries falls short of this goal.? Finally, it has been argued that this is a minor shift. Unfortunately, this is not true. While the numbers transferred may seem small, the consequence are large. First, the shift removes the residents in the affected area from direct representation on issues that immediately affect their neighborhood. Rather than automatically being at the table on decision concerning items on Barracks Row and Pennsylvania Avenue, S.E., the elected representatives of the residents in the affected area will be focused on issues of H Street, N.E., Union Station and NOMA in Northwest. In addition, the proposed changes have dramatic effects on the SMD boundaries within both ANC 6B and ANC 6C. Under the boundaries originally adopted by the Task Force on August 8, 2001, all SMDs within ANC 6B and ANC 6C meet the statutory requirement of an SMD population of 2000 ¡À 5% (between 1900 and 2100). Shifting the population as proposed in the Task Force report mathematically guarantees that the SMDs will not hit the statutory requirement. Under the Task Force recommendation 4 out of 7 SMDs in ANC 6C and for 7 out of 10 SMDs in ANC 6B are outside the statutory requirement of an SMD population of 2000 ¡À 5% (between 1900 and 2100).? Thus, the Task Force final recommendation shifts from a proposal adopted in August where all of the SMD in ANC 6B and 6C comply with the legislative requirement of an SMD population of 2000 ¡À 5% to a situation where 13 out of 17 (over 75%) of the SMDs do not comply with the statutory requirement. The justification of "rational public policy" (as called for in the statute) for this non-compliance: the desire to increase the size of ANC 6C from 6 Commissioners to 7 Commissioners. I believe that the Task Force got the decision on ANC 6C and ANC 6B boundaries essentially right the first time in August. The ANC and SMD boundaries in that proposal met the criteria of the law for respecting natural boundaries, neighborhood cohesiveness and the development of compact and contiguous districts. These boundaries maintain existing neighborhood cohesion, in keeping with Task Force guideline #1. These boundaries also made minimal changes to existing boundaries, in keeping with Task Force guideline #2. The ANC 6C and 6B boundaries (both ANC and SMD boundaries) in the Task Force's final report violate both natural boundaries and neighborhood cohesiveness. These also radically change the SMD boundaries, especially within ANC 6B. Therefore, I respectfully dissent from the findings of the Task Force and recommend that the Council adopt an alternative with respect to ANC 6B and 6C. This alternative outlined below would return the ANC boundary between ANC 6B and ANC 6C at East Capitol Street and proposes SMD boundaries adopted by the Task Force in August. In other words, I propose returning to the Task Force recommendations of August. The alternative does makes minor modifications to reflect adjustments adopted by the Task Force in subsequent meeting: moves the boundary between ANC 6C and ANC 6E to North Capitol Street in accordance with the agreement between those two ANCs; moves Square 889 (bounded by 7th Street, N.E., I Street, N.E., 8th Street, N.E. and H Street, N.E.) from ANC 6C to ANC 6A as requested by ANC 6A and supported by a separate vote of the Task Force which results in ANC 6A retaining this block within its boundaries; and makes adjustments to the ANC 6B SMD boundaries recommended by ANC 6B to not split Seward Square and the Eastern Market Metro Plaza among SMDs and to make the boundary between ANC 6B09 and ANC 6B10 a straight line down Massachusetts Avenue, S.E. The proposed SMD map for ANC 6B is based on the Task Force guideline to make minimal changes to SMD boundary where possible. The challenge was that certain SMD had grown beyond the 2100 person upper limit (ANC 6B03, ANC 6B04 and ANC 6B08 ) while ANC 6B10 has lost population due to the transfer of Reservation 13 to Ward 7. The proposed solution is to transfer population from ANC 6B03 north to ANC 6B02; transfer population from ANC 6B04 north to ANC 6B05 and east to ANC 6B06 and ANC 6B07; transfer population from ANC 6B08 to 6B10. In order to transfer enough population from ANC 6B08 to ANC 6B10, some population is transferred from ANC 6B05 and ANC 6B06 to ANC 6B08. In essence, this is a daisy-chain transfer of population from ANC 6B04 (which was well over the upper limit at 2376) to ANC 6B10 (which was well under the limit at 1655) through ANC 6B05, ANC 6B06 and ANC 6B08. As ANC 6B01 was very close to the target population (with a census count of 2007), it need to neither give or receive population and thus its boundaries remain the same. The result are minimal changes to SMD boundaries while meeting the statutory population requirements." |

Has a light blue argyle collar. He looks to be an older puppy.
Please call me 8023104506 I can't keep him tied up all day, so I will probably call animal control in about an hour. Anyone know if that's the right group to call? -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity. |

Renee was the one that told me about it. She also speculated that it may be gang-related. And he had just parked his BMW on C Street. I looked on all the MPD listservs and didn't find anything...

I saw the corner taped off but assumed it was a traffic accident. If we can determine who it is, I'd be happy to drop a meal off. Perhaps we can put together a database on this list serve of days people intend to drop food off. Bit like mows on moth? |

Hi all. I heard some disturbing news this morning. Apparently last Wednesday at 2pm, a group of teenagers came out of the alley (at 11th and C, closer to the dry cleaners), knocked a man out with a brick to his head, stole his wallet and stuff and took off. The man lives on 11th Street (on the 11th and 12th block) and doesn't remember anything and is recovering at home. The neighbor that told me this happened said that C Street was blocked off by police cars that afternoon as well. Does anyone know anything about this? I looked in the police alerts but didn't find anything. (And does anyone know who it was and if we, as neighbors, can help them with food or anything?) Thanks, Katy |
