3. Receipt of petitions and communications from the Public that are not on the Agenda.
(Limited to 3 minutes per issue and no formal action can be taken this evening)
Mayor Colbert recognized Craig Burns, 301 Center Street, N, member of the
Conservation and Sustainability Commission and Chairman of the Green Committee
for the Vienna Business Association. He expressed his appreciation for the many
recent events in Vienna throughout the past month. Tonight he wished to present a
challenge for future consideration. The idea evolved from his family’s commitment to
composting and the resulting positive effects. He proposed that the Mayor host a
friendly challenge with Falls Church and Fairfax City to determine which city could
have the most residential compositing over the next ten years. As a means to become
further informed he invited everyone to attend the Green Expo this Thursday
evening, April 28, 2022 at 7:00 PM in the Community Center.
Max Catalano, 364 Park St., NE. Mr. Catalano stated that he has been working with
the Town to find a solution to ongoing noise issues in his neighborhood. Children
living behind Mill Street are at a disadvantage as the businesses are allowed
loading and unloading from 6:00 AM until 11:00 PM, resulting in significant sleep
Town of Vienna Page 1 Printed on 5/23/2022
Town Council Meeting Meeting Minutes April 25, 2022
loss. Noting that surrounding jurisdictions hours are more reasonable; 7:00 AM
until 9:00 PM, he is asking Council to consider similar hours for the Town of Vienna.
He has documented that trucks actually arrive as early as 3:00 AM and begin
unloading as soon as they can get away with. He is asking that Council put quality
of life for the children first and work with the businesses to conduct their loading,
etc. within hours that are more acceptable to the community. He has assembled a
group of concerned parents who would like to work with the Town toward a
reasonable solution to this problem.
Melanie Meren, 308 Edwin Ln., NE is a current member of the Fairfax County School
Board representing the Town of Vienna. As a followup to Mr. Catalano’s remarks
she wished to provide support for the premise that sleep translates into best
performance. Based upon supporting data, tax payer dollars have been used to
protect students sleep. In 2016 FCPS invested five million tax dollars to change the
start time of the high schools in response to community input that recognized data
supporting the premise that students cannot perform when required to be at school
early. This change involved purchasing additional buses, adjusting numerous
schedules, etc. At the most recent meeting the FCPS Board updated the Wellness
Policy to reference the importance of sleep. The document points to the 2020 Virginia
Standards of Learning which identifies dozens of references supporting the
importance of sleep for school age children.
The Town of Vienna and the School division have been great partners but the school
division has been investing tax payer dollars that Town policies continue to
counter. The two entities are at odds and this is not good for the children. There is
now an opportunity through the Code Create process to open discussion on what
components of the noise ordinance can be updated.
In the last two years the schools have had to handle a great deal. The mission is to
educate children. However, if schools must take care of children who are hungry
and sleep deprived they cannot move forward with their stated mission. If the Town
of Vienna wishes to promote a healthy living environment for families, then Council
must look at this issue and realize that it is damaging families.
Michael Jreige, 362 Park St., NE wished to speak this evening in support of Mr.
Catalano. As president of Vienna Little League, he stressed that one of the greatest
challenges facing his group is scheduling. With 1669 kids as part of VLL in the past
year, the League is challenged to find field time for 973 games and 1996 practices,
yet they never schedule any team after 8:00 PM for the express purpose of preserving
the players sleep. The League holds this dear; they believe that sleep is important
not only for optimal mental and physical performance but most importantly for
maximum overall development.
Nathan Geesaman, 340 Park St., NE wished to voice his support for Mr. Catalano and
to ask Council to find a solution to this issue. He noted the extraordinary number of
school age children who live on Park St. and are impacted by these few businesses.
It is a problem that has the potential to carry forward as the Town moves to mixed
use where residents mix more closely with commercial. He urged Council to address
the problem now before it becomes worse.
4. Reports/Presentations
A. 22-3088 2022 Arbor Day Proclamation
Mayor Colbert read into the record the Arbor Day Proclamation after which it was

presented to the Conservation and Sustainability Commission. She invited Council
and residents to attend the tree planting Friday, April 29, 2022 at 5:00 PM in front of
the Community Center.
A. Report and Inquiries of Council Members
Council Member Springsteen reported that he has sent to Council the new Fairfax
County trucking contract which reflects a 20% cost increase. He further noted his
observation of concrete mixers traveling down Roland Street and inquired as to
what can be down to stop this.
Council Member Patel reported on a need for street repair on Maple Avenue in front
of the Town Houses under construction. She also voiced support for composting, a
practice she and her family has followed for the last two years.
Council Member Somers remarked in support of the Town Recycling Program. He
thanked Karen Thayer, PIO for the recent Earth Day article and thanked all Staff for
their work on the battery recycling issue.
Council Member Potter noted that the issue with heavy trucks on Roland continues
but on a sporadic basis. Chief Morris has been supportive with police enforcement.
He shared that residents have been happy with the advance communication for
project work. Finally, he noted that the Sunrise project representative recently
inquired about project crew parking. The project is currently working 40 crew but
will increase to 100 crew shortly. He stressed the urgency of this matter. Options
are under investigation, such as Church parking lots, etc.
Council Member Brill remarked on several positive items about Town: the street
work underway through Town; the quality of applications submitted for positions
on various Boards and Commission; and finally the popularity of the pickleball
courts available throughout Town. He also reiterated that we in the United States
have much to be thankful for and that the people of Ukraine need our prayers.

5. Public Hearings
A. 22-3076 Public Hearing on the FY 2022-23 Proposed Tax Rate
Mayor Colbert called the Public Hearing to order at 8:40 PM. All Council were
Town of Vienna Page 4 Printed on 5/23/2022
Town Council Meeting Meeting Minutes April 25, 2022
present.
Marion Serfass, Director, Finance, provided background for discussion. Each year,
as the Town's budget for the following year is developed, a proposed real estate tax
rate is recommended by the Town Manager and reviewed by Council during budget
conference sessions. This public hearing is being held to give Vienna residents an
opportunity to provide public comment on the proposed real estate tax rate of
$0.2125 per $100 of assessed value for fiscal year 2022-23.
The State Code of Virginia, section 58.1-3321, requires that a locality calculate the
“Lowered Rate Necessary” to generate the same tax levy as the previous year,
excluding new construction. This lowered rate for Vienna in FY 2022-23 is $0.2092
per $100 of assessed value. The “equalization rate” is the rate required to generate
a levy of 101% of the previous year’s tax levy on the same assessed base. The
equalization rate is $0.2113 per $100 of assessed value. Per state code, Council may
adopt a rate no higher than the equalization rate without holding a public hearing.
The proposed tax rate of $0.2125 is $0.0012 higher than the equalization rate;
therefore, a public hearing is required.
Town Council has reviewed the budget during conference sessions on March 14 and
16 and April 18, 2022. The Finance Department is presenting the proposed real
estate tax rate and other tax rates at this public hearing for input from the public.
This is the tenth consecutive year with no change or a decrease in Vienna’s real
estate tax rate. The proposed FY2022-23 budget is based on this $0.2125 per $100 of
assessed value rate along with continuation of the current bank net capital rate of
$0.80 per $100 of valuation as well as a residential utility tax rate of 20% of the first
$15 and a commercial utility tax rate of 15% of the first $300.
During budget conference sessions, Council expressed a desire to further decrease
the real estate tax rate to help mitigate the tax burden on taxpayers due to the
increase in real estate assessments for FY 2022-23. This can be achieved by utilizing
the prior year surplus and decreasing the rate by an additional $0.0075
(three-quarters of a cent) to $0.2050 per $100 of assessed value. This lower rate
achieves the following objectives:
- It equalizes the tax amount for the average assessed value to the FY
2021-22 tax;
- It can be sustained in future years; and
- It will allow the Town to maintain an unassigned general fund balance
of more than 18% of the subsequent year budget.
Town Council has the option to adopt the proposed tax rates or to lower them from
advertised amounts as it sees fit. Tax rate changes require a supermajority to pass
the motion.
Mayor Colbert opened the floor for public input. As there were no Public speakers,
she called for a motion to close the Public Hearing.
It was moved to close the public hearing.
Motion, Council Member Patel; second, Council Member Springsteen.
Mayor Colbert remarked that this legislation resulted from Council responding to
resident input and that it will prove to be good for the Town overall.
Town of Vienna Page 5 Printed on 5/23/2022
Town Council Meeting Meeting Minutes April 25, 2022
It was moved to approve the fiscal year 2022-23 real estate tax rate at $0.2050 per
$100 of assessed value (a decrease of $0.0175), and the bank net capital rate,
residential utility tax rate, and commercial utility tax rate as presented and it was
further moved that the Town Clerk be directed to advertise a Notice of Intent to
Adopt at the May 16, 2022 Council meeting.
Motion, Council Member Patel; second, Council Member Potter.
Council noted that Town wide there has been an approximate 10% property
assessment increase over the past year. The proposed reduction represents an 8%
decrease resulting in a net 2% overall increase. This number is well below the
current rate of inflation. It also represents one of the largest tax cuts in the last
10-15 years.
Motion passed unanimously.
A motion was made by Council Member Patel, seconded by Council Member Somers, that
the Action Item be approved. The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 7- Mayor Colbert, Council Member Anderson, Council Member Brill, Council Member Patel,
Council Member Potter, Council Member Somers and Council Member Springsteen
B. 22-3085 Public Hearing to consider alley vacation of 115 Wilmar Place NW
Mayor Colbert opened the second Public Hearing at 8:48 PM. All Council were
present.
Mike Gallagher, Director, Public Works, provided background for the Item.
An alley vacation application has been received from Manish and Vanita Sharma,
owners of 115 Wilmar Place NW, to purchase the 15' X 50' public alley next to their
property. In 2013, viewers determined that there is no inconvenience to the public
nor a need to keep any piece of the alley between Ayr Hill Avenue NW and Wilmar
Place NW, beginning at Lawyers Road and ending at Center Street.
In May 2021 the Town Council modified the process to determine the property value
for alley vacations. Prior to May 2021, the property values to determine the sale
price of vacated right of way was determined by an independent real estate
appraisal. In May 2021 the Council adopted the following process:
The cost per square foot is determined by taking one-third (1/3) of the current
Fairfax County tax-assessed value of the applicant's land (land only, not
improvements) adjacent to the alley or public right of way requested for vacation
and divided by the current applicant's property size in square feet (sf).
115 Wilmar Place NW:
The applicant's lot size is 14,000 sf and the current tax-assessed land value is
$352,000; therefore, the cost to purchase the vacated alley or public right of way
would be:
$352,000 times 1/3 divided by 14,000 sf = $8.38 / sf.
Size of alley to be vacated: 1,200 sf
Cost to purchase alley = $8.38 x 1,200 = $10,057
Mayor Colbert opened the floor for public input. As there were no Public speakers
she called for a motion to close the Public Hearing.
Motion, Council Member Patel; second, Council Member Springsteen.
Town of Vienna Page 6 Printed on 5/23/2022
Town Council Meeting Meeting Minutes April 25, 2022
Motion passed unanimously.
Further discussion by Council included a reference noting that vacation of the alley
could lead to runoff that could result in standing water on properties along and
east of Center St. Director Gallagher responded that this application did not involve
land development. Should the land be redeveloped to involve a disturbance over
2500 sq. ft. then storm water mitigation would be required.
It was moved to approve the Ordinance to Vacate the portion of the public alley
adjacent to 115 Wilmar Place NW, as identified in the petitioner’s plat, and
condition upon payment of $10,057 from Manish and Vanita Sharma for the vacated
portion, and submission by petitioners of a deed of consolidation, and further
authorize the Mayor to execute the necessary documents.
Motion, Council Member Patel; second, Council Member Springsteen.
Motion passed unanimously.
A motion was made that the Action Item be approved. The motion carried by the following
vote:
Aye: 7- Mayor Colbert, Council Member Anderson, Council Member Brill, Council Member Patel,
Council Member Potter, Council Member Somers and Council Member Springsteen
6. Regular Business
A. 22-3043 Request approval for purchase of Bobcat (Toolcat) UW56
Mayor Colbert called on Leslie Herman, Director, Parks and Recreation to present
the Item for consideration.
It was moved to approve an appropriation not to exceed $133,706.04 to purchase a
Bobcat (Toolcat) UW56 with Bobcat of Northern Virginia riding Sourcewell contract
(040319-CEC).
Motion, Council Member Somers; second Council Member Anderson.
Discussion included the following:
• Smaller Bobcat (in Parks and Recreation inventory) will potentially be passed
along to Public Works;
• Return on Investment (ROI) should have been completed on all items in
contract;
• Uncomfortable with depth of pricing information;
• Request for accessories does not reflect list price; no assurance that discount
has been applied;
• Acceptance deadline already passed; possible grace period in effect;
• Town of Vienna follows Public Procurement Act - larger contracts bid out
(nationally) and lowest price awarded; if contract bears cooperative procurement
clause then can ride other contract to secure lowest price;
It was moved to defer the decision to appropriate an amount not to exceed
$133,706.04 to purchase a Bobcat (Toolcat) UW56 with Bobcat of Northern Virginia
riding Sourcewell contract (040319-CEC) until May 16, 2022 Town Council Meeting.
Motion, Council; Member Patel; second, Council Member, Springsteen.

• One storm water system for two properties presents concern regarding shared
maintenance; both property owners will have storm water agreement recorded in
deed;
• Single system will be built to accommodate both lots; single system meets
quality and quantity state requirements; design is Code compliant and meets legal
requirements;
• Town of Vienna currently has shared systems in both single family residential
and multi family properties.

Block 4, Lots 213 and 215, addressed as 841 Ninovan Road SE, located in the RS-10,
Single-Family Detached Residential Zoning District.
