Civic Federation Monthly Meeting


7:30 pm, Hazel Conference Center at Virginia Hospital Center-Arlington.

Agenda is in our May newsletter, the Civic Voice.

At the May 6 Civic Federation meeting, the Civic Federation will present a summary of the staff recommendations for Accessory Dwellings(AD). Delegates and guests will then be asked to complete an AD survey that gathers their opinions about the staff recommendations. Delegate and guest surveys are color-coded and will be tallied separately, a process we have used for past surveys. Each delegate survey must include the delegate’s organization, as only 4 delegates per organization may complete a delegate survey.

Surveys will be collected at the end of the May 6 meeting. Delegates requiring additional time may complete the survey after the meeting. However, all delegate surveys must be returned no later than Tuesday, May 13th so the results can be collated and used to develop an AD resolution for the June 3rd Civic Federation meeting. Mail completed survey to Larry Mayer, 3108 4th St. N., Arlington, VA 22201-1614.
