Motion is Made:

ANC 1C of Adams Morgan Resolution On Revoking Emergency Resolution 17-393

Whereas; on July 10, 2007 the District City Council passed Emergency Resolution 17-393, ‘Square 37 Excess Property Disposition Emergency resolution of 2007’, and

Whereas; this emergency act gave to private developers the use of public land which currently contains valuable public services, including library, police, and fire fighting institutions; and

Whereas; by invoking the use of Emergency Legislation the entire process of including public input, planning, financial review, and meeting the legal requirement of ‘Great Weight’ by ANC 2B was completely thrown out the door; and

Whereas; ANC 1C views with great distrust any loss of public space to any entity without full, transparent review, and justification by city leaders; and

Whereas; in the case of Resolution 17-393 no ‘emergency’ existed, and;

Whereas; the Mayor has not completed approval of this emergency legislation; and

Whereas; the use of Emergency Legislation for transferring public property, or the rights to use public property, is a severe imposition on citizens of the impacted community, requiring prudent, measured response; and

Whereas; false claims, and statements were made to the Council regarding the ‘emergency’ of this act;

Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Mayor reject Emergency Resolution 17-393;

And Be It Further Resolved that the Council rescind Emergency Resolution 17-393;

And Be It Further Resolved that the Council is requested to convene hearings to deliberately, and prudently review the proposal of land use as outlined in Emergency Resolution 17-393 to:

Review the impact on current public services provided, and insure that proposed plans continue to provide such services, including a library, a fire station, and police services.
Include, define, and confirm a specific component of affordable housing before approval.
Allow for appropriate input by the affected ANC, citizens, and public associations and organizations.

And Be It Further Resolved that the Council is requested to confirm, or amend the rules of operations adopted by the Council for its procedures in 2006 to deny land transfers use or sale under Emergency legislation.

Moved, Seconded, and approved 9/5/07
