ANC2B Resolution for the Stewardship of Public Property

WHEREAS public property includes all property in the inventory of the District of Columbia, operated and maintained through tax-payer dollars, such as schools, libraries, parks, government buildings, and all properties under the jurisdiction of any DC government entity, and

WHEREAS public property in the District of Columbia exists to serve community needs and uses, and

WHEREAS numerous community needs persist to which vacant or under-used public property should be dedicated, and

WHEREAS the residents of the District of Columbia entrust the District government with the management and stewardship of public properties, in service of the community, and

WHEREAS the District of Columbia government has established a pattern of disposing of public property to private development interests;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that ANC2B calls for the Mayor, City Council and all relevant agencies carry out the following:

  1. An Immediate Moratorium on the Disposition of Public Property

  2. A Complete Inventory of Public Property (as required by law), made available and accessible to the community

  3. Amendment of DC’s Public Property Laws to preserve public property for public use, instituting a transparent, community driven input process to identify new public uses for vacant or under-used public property.

  4. Maintaining valuable public assets and protecting the long-term needs of DC communities by leasing, not selling public property and retaining the right to reclaim those properties leased to private entities when the need arises.

  5. Before any action is taken to change the use of any public property, Advisory Neighborhood Commissions shall be consulted for their “great weight” approval and public hearings must be held to inform and to seek input from residents.
