Town Council Meeting Meeting Minutes October 15, 2018
of the Vienna Arts Society. Once they are painted they would be installed
throughout the town in a location near the sponsoring businesses. They plan to
begin the installation around the 1st of next year and it will continue through to
November 1st. They already have 43 sponsors that have covered the cost of
purchasing the benches. The artists are donating their time and materials to the
work. All the sponsors are Vienna based businesses.
A. Report and Inquiries of Council Members
Councilmember Sienicki thanked everyone that did such a good job with
Oktoberfest. It was a wonderful day full of support from Parks & Rec, the Police and
Volunteers from organizations and sponsors, it was really well done. A special
thanks to the Vienna Business Association for their hard work to get it all done.
Councilmember Noble asked Ms. Herman about an issue with the drain in the men's
room at the Community Center and if she could report back. Ms. Herman stated that
she would look into it and report back to Council.
Councilmember Majdi addressed a couple issues that have happened recently. One
was a news story that came out about a debate about the summer schedule and the
question that was raised was whether we had enough meetings to address MAC
applications as they came up and has been a debate that had gone on for a few
months. The Mayor had said all along that we would add meetings as needed for
MAC applications and that is evident as our last meeting was a work session that we
added to the calendar on Thursday night, devoted entirely to one MAC application.
He wanted to note for the record that it is exactly what the Mayor said we would do
all along and it went perfectly. He thanked the Mayor for her leadership on that. He
also noted that several other Councilmembers agreed with her that it would be
taken care of that way and it was handled just perfectly.
Councilmember Majdi also stated that he had been critical of a newsletter article
regarding a MAC project and he wanted to put it in a broader context. He didn't
agree with how that one particular article was written but he wanted to note that
overall our public information efforts have dramatically improved over the past
couple of years and he thinks that is directly attributable to Lynne Coan's extensive
work on this. It has been night and day since she has come on board with the town
and it has made a huge difference. He also mentioned that the Director of Planning
and Zoning, Cindy Petkac has stepped up our communications with re-development
in the town. Generally we used to do what we were legally required to do, and now
we regularly go above and beyond that. We are stretching our services to keep our
citizens informed and he thinks it has been very positive. He thanked the Town
Manager for making it a priority with all of the departments in response to a request
from Town Council. He has definitely seen a huge change across the board.
Councilmember Colbert reported that November 16th is Ethics Day for Seniors at
Madison High School. She thanked Council and Leslie Herman for offering the
Community Center again. They are very excited to do it again and thinks they will
be getting more participation.
Councilmember Colbert thanked Councilmember Sienicki for all the work that she
did for Oktoberfest, she worked very hard on the event.
B. Report of the Town Manager
Mr. Payton reported there was a fire at the Marco Polo location and asked the
Town of Vienna Page 2 Printed on 10/30/2018
Town Council Meeting Meeting Minutes October 15, 2018
Police Chief to come forward and provide some details. He thanked Lynne Coan for
getting all the information out about street closures etc.
Chief Morris stated the fire was reported a little before 2:00 p.m. There was a
significant response from the Fire Dept. There was some impact on Maple Avenue for
most of the fire but he has not received any complaints so believes everything was
handled properly. The Fairfax County Fire Marshall is in charge of determining the
cause of the fire. The property has been completely fenced in but they will be
keeping an eye on things due to a lot of activity around the building.
Mr. Payton asked Ms. Kelly O'Brien of Planning and Zoning to come forward with an
update on the Maple Avenue Commercial Zone Visual Preference Survey that is out
now. Ms. O'Brien provided Council with an update. The survey went live on the
10th and will be open until midnight November 12th. Staff will analyze the results
very rapidly after and they will have a BAR meeting on November 15th to discuss the
results. They will also have the results on the website.
C. Report of the Mayor
Mayor DiRocco reported that they had been at the Virginia Municipal League
Conference and the Town of Vienna received a Certified Green Government Award.
It is for successfully implementing environmental policies and taking practical
actions to reduce carbon emissions. She thanked town staff and the Community
Enhancement Commission especially the Chair, Susan Stillman for all the work they
have done on this. She hopes they continue to do well in the Go Green Challenge
and do even better next year.
Mayor DiRocco thanked the Parks & Recreation staff for a number of wonderful
community events this month. They had Oktoberfest, Halloween on the Green and
coming up is the 72nd Halloween Parade. She also thanked the Vienna Business
Association and Peggy James along with Councilmember Sienicki for all of the hard
work they did for Oktoberfest.
