tl;dr

  • Our semi-monthly joint (5B06 and 5C07) SMD meeting.
  • The special scheduling is to accomodate a DDOT ask to present to a meeting on RIA/Thayer
  • The meeting will be entirely virtual

Background

If these terms are confusing and/or you don’t know if you live in 5B06 or 5C07, visit the FAQ or the OpenANC map.

This is a joint meeting of SMDs 5B06 and 5C07 to be held on 12/20/2023 starting at 7pm. The meeting will be all virtual over Microsoft Teams.

Single-Member District meetings are:

  • optional outreach efforts by Commissioners
  • per cultural norms, a precondition to bring official actions to 5B and 5C
  • a chance for Commissioners to discuss issues with their immediate constituents
  • not a venue for any official actions
  • more common in some parts of DC than others

Why are these joint meetings?

Commissioner Piekara and I do joint meetings because our community is split down the center by the Commission boundary along Rhode Island Ave, the epicenter of our community’s housing production, retail/commercial activity, and street safety issues. Most obligatory ANC casework in our SMDs is shared by ANCs 5B and 5C with both being affected/party ANCs; having a joint meeting provides cross-pollinated awareness of both Commission’s activities and avoids redundant meetings on the same topics.

Physical Location

There will be no physical location for December.

Virtual Connection Details

The meeting will be available virtually on Microsoft Teams.
