Minutes
of September Meeting
The
DRCA grant application for Arlington County's Small Parks 2000
Program and progress on DRCA's Neighborhood Conservation (NC) Plan
dominated
the discussion at the September Association meeting at Taylor
Elementary School. DRCA President Peter Fallon
presided.
Fallon noted that association members had earlier approved a
motion that DRCA file a letter of intent to participate in the
Small Parks 2000 Program. Under the program, approved small parks
projects can receive up to $10,000 in county funding. DRCA
board member Steve Grand described the five potential projects
within the neighbor-hood, including a new tot lot to be located at
Taylor Elementary and improvements to Lee Heights Park, Zachary
Taylor Park, Marcey Road Park, and the meadow adjacent to the 26th
Street mulch pile. Fallon led the discussion to
identify elements and priorities for the grant application. Aaron
Nisenson from the Park and Recreation Citizen’s Advisory
Committee was on hand to answer questions and gauge neighborhood
support for the projects.
Following Grand's presentation, a motion was adopted directing
