Vice- Mayor Frye also noted that Congressman Rob Wittman had been contacted and he was going to contact HUD. Census 2020. Councilor Duffy urged citizens to ask others if they had completed their Census and if not encourage them to do so. He noted how important it was and that the deadline was September 30.

Scenic River Designation.

This was the 50th year of State Scenic River Designation. The designation would identify and protect rivers and streams with outstanding scenic and recreational historic and natural characteristics.

Ms. Freeman stated that she was humbled to participate in this and to play a role in this conversation. She provided an update of the Racial Equity Plan – Phase. The overall goal of the Plan was to develop and implement a transformative plan to address racial inequity and discrimination in the City. Goal A – To ensure safety of the demonstrators and the public is the main priority. The update for Goal A was that the City had experienced peaceful and lawful demonstrations over the last few weeks. Ms. Freeman reported that on August 10 a group of demonstrators unlawfully marched in the street, took over several intersections for about an hour and a half. Several were charged and released on summons. Goal B – Developing a communications plan in cooperation with public, businesses, city staff and City Council. The update for Goal B was that the Police Department held an educational event at the end of July. There were approximately 60 attendees and the police presented information on their accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. They briefed the public on the special training for officers and complaint procedures were reviewed and shared with the public. There are plans to have 20720 Regular Session 08/11/20 more virtual educational opportunities. The Police department has been proactively seeking opportunities to reach out to the press about current efforts to recruit, vet and train officers. In addition, work had begun to create a specific racial equity webpage on the City’s website. GOAL C – Assess law enforcements response to demonstrations and to identify criminal justice reform proposals. Preliminary reports form the Police department’s internal investigation were released on August 6. Mayor Greenlaw executed an agreement for services with Police Executive Research Forums (PERF) and they were planning a series of meetings with stakeholders which were scheduled to take place August 25 through August 27. She stated that review of the documentation had already begun and preliminary findings are expected in November and a final report would be expected six to eight months later. The Police department has implemented new procedures in their Response to Resistance Policy to include, the duty to intervene and a show of deadly force reporting. Officers are required to use the Use of Force reports for any incident that require striking, kicking, take down, physical control or any pain compliance techniques regardless of whether there was an injury or not. The Policy was updated and provided to all sworn officers. In addition, the Police department has been researching best practices recommendations and sample policies form the International Association of Chief of Police. Goal D – Community Engagement. Ms. Freeman updated that the work was continuing from the Citizen Advisory Panel (CAP). CAP would be adopting a new Charter and expanding membership from six to ten members. The new members would include a member between the ages of 18-30. The Police Department was accepting applications. In addition, they were developing a community contacts resource database. She said a survey was being developed and the intent was to reach out to Boards and Commissions to get insight from those groups to share with City Council in preparation for the October retreat. 20721 Regular Session 08/11/20 Goal E – Addressing racial inequity through strategic planning and goal setting. The taskforce would be pulling together data to include up-to-date census and ACS data as well as unique data to the City. Some of the work includes advancing the improvements and interpretation at Charles and William Streets the former location of the slave auction block, the interpretation of the slave auction block at the museum and supporting the revision of some of the marketing materials. Other priority projects that have emerged are the development of the Civil Rights Trail and the Canal Street Wharf Park.

Resolution 20-64, Failed, Granting a Special Exception for an Accessory Dwelling Unit Located at 1306 Graham Drive (D20-401). After staff presentation Councilor Graham asked if this was called and accessory dwelling unit (ADU) because of the characteristics of the basement and the new outlet and that outlet was characterizing the basement as an ADU under the current code. Mr. Newman said it was and he explained that having a living space, a kitchen and a bathroom makes it an ADU. Councilor Withers asked if the application was approved would it be a precedence for allowing an ADU in a basement in the future. Ms. Dooley stated that it would depend on the 20722 Regular Session 08/11/20 details of the new applications compared to this application and whether they were reasonably similar or substantially different. Mr. Withers asked what would determine if the applicant’s mother would be the only person staying and Mr. Newman said there was a condition and if there was any violation the outlet would be removed. Councilor Withers asked if her mother could live in the space, if this request was not approved, and Mr. Newman said there was nothing stopping her from living there if the application was not approved. Councilor Kelly said there had been lots of conversations about this and there were issues with affordability. He said he was concerned that a lifestyle choice has been turned into a special exception and they were supposed to be significant or beneficial to the City. He said Idlewild was also concerned about this. Councilor Devine agreed with Councilors Withers and Kelly. She said there needed to be discussions on ADU’s and the City needed to figure this out before it starts approving applications such as this. She said she does not see this case as a special exception. Councilor Duffy said there was great value in providing multi-generational housing. He said the City needed to develop a policy it could grow with. He said it’s hard to say no to a project that would show so little impact but it adds urgency to the need to have a discussion on this. Vice-Mayor Frye said he did not see an issue with this but he understood the implications that could come from it. Mayor Greenlaw said she had trouble considering an in-law suite an ADU and in this particular instance it is protected by the special exception but she said she would have a hard time denying this application. 20723 Regular Session 08/11/20 Councilor Graham noted that having a multi-generational home in the City was going to be imperative. He said multi-generational housing was going to need to be part of the ADU discussions in the future. He said housing economics should notbe allowed to tear families apart. Councilor Withers stated that when you allow multi-generational housing, it does away with the single-family neighborhoods. Councilor Graham made a motion to approve Resolution 20-64, granting a special exception for an accessory dwelling unit located at 1306 Graham Drive; motion was seconded by Councilor Duffy and failed by the following recorded votes. Ayes (3). Councilors Greenlaw, Frye and Graham. Nays (4). Councilors Devine, Duffy, Kelly and Withers.

After a brief staff presentation Councilor Kelly said he would support one trailhead and he asked the applicant if they could use the funding toward another trail. Mr. Hicks explained that it was a good idea but he said it was a little late for this project but he was interested in redirecting the funds to the bank trails. He said he would like to continue the conversation but would not like to add that to the current project. Ms. Dooley stated that the proffer statements have been firmed up and the resolutions were ready for approval and ready for City Council action. Councilor Duffy said he was supportive of one trailhead and did not want to hold up the project in order to tie funds to another trail project. 20724 Regular Session 08/11/20 Councilor Devine was also in support of one trailhead but she noted for the future there was a fund for public trials.
