Board Chair Dacus Carantones said the county would like to expand glass recycling \"as much as we can\" but cited economic reasons for how collection had been scaled and said staff would consider the suggestion as a budget-related comment. No formal decision was taken; board members said they would take the suggestion under advisement and examine operational options.

Ventrone said the county approved a site-plan amendment in June 2023 allowing the equipment, but that impacted residents of the 130-unit Water View building received no advance notice and therefore missed an opportunity to weigh in. He also said the installed antennas exceed the zoning ordinance's height limit by 23 feet and extend 31.9 feet above the main roof.

Board Chair Dacus Carantones thanked Ventrone and said staff would engage further with the civic association. A county staff member told the board staff could not confirm whether the county had specifically contacted the North Rosslyn Civic Association prior to installation, but noted the county had issued multiple public releases and that local news outlet Arlington Now had published reporting on related projects.

No formal enforcement action or appeal outcome was reported at the March 15 meeting. The board and staff asked Ventrone to continue engagement so staff could review permitting history, community-notification steps and any zoning compliance questions raised by residents.","A North Rosslyn Civic Association leader told the Arlington County Board on March 15 that antennas installed atop Potomac Towers exceed zoning limits and that residents were not adequately notified.

Vice Chair Matt Ferrante moved to approve the consent agenda without item 12 (nonprofit grants); the motion was seconded and carried unanimously. The board did not adopt the pulled item and indicated it will be the subject of a public hearing at the board's recessed meeting on Tuesday, March 18, at or after 6:00 p.m.

Board members highlighted several items included in the consent agenda during the meeting:

- A site-plan amendment to temporarily house Arlington Community High School at Amazon's South Maryland building while the school's permanent home at Penn Place is built. The county described the school as a program serving about 300 older students (18 and over) completing diplomas.

- Renewal of a use permit for an outdoor café at the Celtic House Irish Pub at 2500 Columbia Pike; board members noted heightened activity expected over the Saint Patrick's Day weekend.

- Authorization to increase the administrative expense threshold for the HUD Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program up to $150,000 to cover program administration costs; the board said this change does not affect the number of vouchers or subsidy amounts paid to recipients.

- Allocation of $1,200,000 in Neighborhoods Program bond funds for two projects: improvements at Slater Park and a street/intersection project near Alice Fleet Elementary in Arlington Heights.

- A $20,000 appropriation for the Neighborhood Mini-Grant program for FY2026 (grants up to $1,000 each for community groups), and acceptance of $185,000 in Virginia Quality Birth-5 (VQ B5) funds for early childhood classroom supports.

- Acceptance of the 6600 Wilson Boulevard special General Land Use Plan (GLUP) study and authorization to advertise potential GLUP amendment hearings; the board made clear accepting the study does not mean approval of any GLUP amendment.

- A financing item related to the Serrano Apartments (refinancing steps) and other routine permitting and administrative items.

The board said items pulled from the consent agenda by the public or board members will be heard at the March 18 evening session, which will begin no earlier than 6 p.m.","The board voted unanimously March 15 to approve the consent agenda with item 12 (nonprofit grants) removed for public hearing; the consent package included site-plan, permitting and housing funding items the board described during the meeting.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6635189,"Arlington residents press board to remove ‘Section 7’ of trust policy after recent ICE operations",3068,882000,3950000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2649562-28bc47433a17ba9dc7cd129d3c4db1bf&start=882&end=3950","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2649562-28bc47433a17ba9dc7cd129d3c4db1bf/thumbnail_882000.jpg","/articles/6635189/Arlington-County/Virginia/Arlington-residents-press-board-to-remove-Section-7-of-trust-policy-after-recent-ICE-operations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6635189-6339d37828e9cf81e43dbf839ac09307/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159227&Signature=bOlpTH2rUFlraZrXL5pYapr4mnWXNwmjHoB5BiIFBlr-RzSPwrUmSixoSO1ITzNoCtIeJnFrrfma-ltj4dUgy3mrz9HBlzw90nCKoJa0X6d3cHNWcbyNrYk~3i8Km5ZS58OHF2p63xHktZvXXcfPkNBuyUX5HD4yNAv7np3cfp04~7w8KJ5ODpO8NoaJfmUChSkQ5oCMH39MZqV9MsVzAIsr6~~Y9OuocBRZXvMmrU5NvoO9Xi5onUj-w4gU4Een1IWdfW05CqefPKEPYFhT9VbETmY8duZfE1sqmaqrvjvM-1AtpLHUGttZ~EGZlj-nVyVoh~SLwztKLaZKP2~NQw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dozens of residents urged the Arlington County Board on March 15 to remove Section 7 of Arlington's trust policy and expand protections for immigrant and other vulnerable communities after recent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in Northern Virginia.

The comments came during the board's public-comment period. Makayla Pond, founder of WOFA, told the board she represents a 1,200-person coalition pressing the county to \"stand boldly, firmly, and strongly for the citizens of Arlington\" and to \"remove Section 7 from the trust policy.\" Several other speakers, including Allison B. of the ICE Out of Arlington campaign, Sana Sadiq, May Nguyen and Elizabeth Stanley, repeated that demand and called for expanded data protections, broader forms of identification to access services, and public convenings such as town halls and a task force to support affected residents.

Board Chair Dacus Carantones acknowledged the fear and disruption caused by federal operations and read a statement saying Arlington County does not conduct immigration enforcement and that county services are generally open to residents regardless of immigration status. The chair also said the county would continue to provide resources and outreach, including services for displaced federal employees and others affected economically.

Vice Chair Matt Ferrante, Board Member Maureen Coffey and other board members said they heard the public's urgency and would revisit Section 7. Ferrante noted the county had budgeted for expanded services such as eviction prevention and housing grants; Coffey and Susan Cunningham said they want concrete, implementable steps beyond nonbinding statements. Board Member Julius Spain said he supports revisiting the trust policy and pledged to engage with community advocates.

Several speakers sought actions beyond policy language: expanded acceptance of identification documents at county agencies, explicit protections against data-sharing with federal immigration authorities, stronger reporting on how the trust policy has functioned, and immediate removal of Section 7. Speakers delivered written materials and FOIA requests to the board during the meeting.

Board members repeatedly emphasized limits on local authority. Carantones said federal agents may operate in public spaces and that Arlington cannot stop federal enforcement actions; the board can, however, review county policies that govern county employee interactions with outside agencies. Several members asked county staff to compile recent data about how the trust policy has been applied and to return with options.

The board also highlighted immediate support resources the county is publicizing for residents affected by recent federal actions, including employment assistance, mental-health services, food-security resources, housing and rent assistance, and targeted events for federal workers and others.

No formal change to the trust policy was made at the March 15 meeting. Board members said they would continue discussions with community groups and review possible policy revisions for future consideration.","Dozens of public commenters urged the Arlington County Board on March 15 to remove Section 7 of the county's trust policy and expand protections for immigrants after recent ICE activity in Northern Virginia. Board members said they will review the policy but noted limits on local authority to stop federal enforcement.","actionData","errors"]
