Joanne and Glenn, I am sending this e-update to brief you on the meeting I
had with the Park and Recreation Commission last night and my meeting with
the City Manager and Mayor today, as related to the issues raised regarding
Fort Ward. At the Commission meeting last night we discussed the process
of working and meeting with the citizens/public to address and hear the
concerns and desires related to Fort Ward. The outcome of the meeting was a
plan to hold two public meetings by the Department in February and take
comments, share ideas and establish short term and long term solutions for
the park.

Both Lance Mallamo and I are confident that the issues raised can be worked
through in this process. The meeting with be held jointly by Recreation,
Parks and Cultural Activities and The Office of Historic Alexandria. Once
we have checked the calendar for possible dates we will be sending out
notice of the meetings.

Thank you both for your Park advocacy.
