Draft – 4B Full Meeting Agenda – Updated-2

Commissioners Still Needed for ANC 5A; One for ANC 4B – Petitions Available Starting January 13, 2025

Posted by nextstoprp in ANC 4B, ANC 5A

Reposting from last week with one addition.

Petitions for ANC vacancies are available starting today January 13, 2025. Petitions are due by 4:45 pm on February 3, 2025.

—

With the start of the new year comes the start of a new term for the city’s advisory neighborhood commissioners.

ANC 4B needs one commissioner for ANC 4B04 (Takoma) to have a full commission.

Map of ANC 4B04 boundaries from DC Board of Elections.

ANC 5A still has a lot of vacancies that need to be filled, including one covering part of the Riggs Park neighborhood. Four of ANC 5A’s nine seats are vacant:

  • 5A01 (Riggs Park)
  • 5A04 (Catholic University)
  • 5A05
  • 5A07 (west of Fort Totten Park, south of Riggs Road)

Each ANC commissioner represents a single member district (SMD) of approximately 2,000 residents for a two-year term. ANC 5A has a monthly public meeting typically the fourth Wednesday of each month, except in July and August. There is also typically a monthly executive (planning) meeting.

Petitions will be available starting January 13, 2025, and will be due on February 3, 2025. Instructions on how to run for a vacant ANC seat are available on the DC Board of Elections website. Also see DCBOE’s Overview for Filling ANC Vacancies.

Elected and agency officials often rely on ANCs to help get things done. Having a seat remain vacant for a long period of time can be disadvantageous to residents. So, think about it. Thanks in advance for serving.

ANC 5A01

Map of ANC 5A01 boundaries from DC Board of Elections.

ANC 5A01 includes UDC’s Lamond-Riggs campus (including food hub) and the Lamond-Riggs Library. This is my SMD. I am not going to run for this seat. I think it is a nice manageable area. Big-ticket items for this area include UDC’s renovation of the Lamond-Riggs campus and a couple of transportation projects.

ANC 5A04

Map of ANC 5A04 boundaries from DC Board of Elections.

ANC 5A04 primarily covers Catholic University. Catholic has its fair share of projects going on. The area also abuts some of the large development projects happening in the Edgewood/Brookland areas. In the past, Catholic officials have assisted in getting a student to run. Hopefully they will do that again this year.

ANC 5A05

Map of ANC 5A05 boundaries from DC Board of Elections.

ANC 5A05 includes a mix of apartments, single family homes, and a few large institutions. The big-ticket items in this SMD include the ongoing construction of new campuses for Yu Ying and Washington Latin public charter schools, the protracted (non)development of the Armed Forces Retirement Home, and a couple of transportation projects.

ANC 5A07

Map of ANC 5A07 boundaries from DC Board of Elections.

ANC 5A07 is the area just west of Fort Totten Park, south of Riggs Road NE. This seat was vacant for much of the previous term. It would be great to have someone fill this seat for the full term. The area includes National Park Service parkland, a few apartment buildings and single-family homes, the Metropolitan Branch Trail, Impact DMV Church, and a few public charter schools plus Mary’s Center. One of the big-ticket items is the forever stalled Metro redevelopment of the large parking lot at Fort Totten Metro station. Generally though, there are a lot of Metro property and NPS issues for which it would be nice to have a dedicated ANC representative to work with Metro and elected officials. Also, an affordable housing development is slated for the corner of Riggs Road & 1st Place NE.

Riggs Park ANC Candidates Still Needed – Petitions due August 7, 2024

Posted by nextstoprp in ANC 4B, ANC 5A
Ward 4 ANC map from DC Office of Planning
Ward 5 ANC map from DC Office of Planning

Candidates for ANC single member districts 4B08 and 5A01 serving Riggs Park still needed!

If you call yourself a reasonable, respectful person interested in improving where you live, please consider running for a seat on the Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC). Each ANC commissioner represents approximately 2,000 residents who make up a single member district (SMD). Find your ANC/SMD.

Nominating petitions to run for ANC in the November general election are available from the DC Board of Elections. Petitions are due at 5:00 pm on August 7, 2024. Information about how to run for the ANC is available on the Board of Election website at https://www.dcboe.org/candidates/anc-advisory-neighborhood-commissioners.

Riggs Park is served by ANCs 4B and ANC 5A, specifically ANC 4B08, 4B09, 4B10, 5A01, 5A02, and 5A09. So far, there are no candidates for 4B08 and 5A01 serving Riggs Park. If you have been a resident of one of these SMDs for at least 60 days, please consider running for ANC. There is still time to pick up petitions and collect 25 signatures from registered voters in the SMD.

ANC 4B has 10 SMDs. So far 8 candidates have picked up petitions:

  • 4B01 – Slobodan Milic
  • 4B01 – Al Canata
  • 4B03 – Keenan Courtland
  • 4B05 – Jose Barrios
  • 4B06 – Incumbent commissioner Tiffani Nicole Johnson
  • 4B07 – Incumbent commissioner Michael Cohen
  • 4B09 – Danielle Geong
  • 4B10 – Incumbent commissioner Jinin Berry

ANC 5A has 9 SMDs. So far 5 people have picked up petitions:

  • 5A02 – Tim Thomas
  • 5A03 – Incumbent commissioner Emily Singer Lucio
  • 5A06 – Derrick Holloway
  • 5A08 – Elaine Alston
  • 5A09 – Incumbent commissioner Shelagh Bocoum

ANCs can weigh in on all sorts of matters that affect residents (planning and development projects, services by District agencies, etc.) so it really can make a difference to have proactive, reasonable people in these positions. If you are a reasonable, respectful person who would not mind doing some unpaid community work and would enjoy interacting with residents, District agencies, and neighborhood businesses to make our neighborhood a bit better, go ahead and run. We all thank you in advance.

If you have been a resident of one of these SMDs for at least 60 days, please consider running for ANC. There is still time to pick up petitions and collect 25 signatures from registered voters in the SMD.

As always, I like to put in a plug for someone to run in my SMD, which is ANC 5A01. It is a nice manageable area with the Lamond-Riggs Library and UDC Lamond-Riggs campus. I think the residents in this pocket of the neighborhood are pretty low-key, nice folks (I promise).

As a whole, ANCs 4B and 5A need several more candidates so that each has a full commission.

ANC 4B has 10 SMDs. So far 3 candidates have picked up petitions:

  • 4B01 – Slobodan Milic
  • 4B06 – Incumbent commissioner Tiffani Nicole Johnson
  • 4B07 – Incumbent commissioner Michael Cohen

Greater Greater Washington is hosting a virtual training on how to run for ANC tonight, July 1 at 6:00 pm. Register at the link.

Each ANC commissioner represents approximately 2,000 residents who make up a single member district (SMD). Find your ANC/SMD.

Maybe you like researching, have ideas about DC’s budget or how to improve the neighborhood, or want to advocate for the community before DC agencies. Maybe you have asked yourself, “Did anyone think of this or that?” when it comes to development. Maybe you have a list of things you wish DDOT were doing in the neighborhood. Well, serving as an ANC commissioner is a chance to serve in a position that matters because views of the commission are given great weight.

ANCs can weigh in on all sorts of matters that affect residents (planning and development projects, services by District agencies, etc.) so it really can make a difference to have proactive, reasonable people in these positions.

Neighborhood boundaries and corresponding ANCs

The boundaries of Riggs Park generally are New Hampshire Avenue NE to the north, Eastern Avenue/MD-DC border to the east, Galloway Street to the south, & the Metro red line tracks to the west. (I don’t make the rules). Riggs Park is represented in part by commissioners in ANC 4B08, 4B09, 4B10, 5A01, 5A02, and 5A09.

Lamond is north of New Hampshire Avenue to about Underwood Place NE/NW. Lamond is represented is represented by commissioners in ANC 4B07 and 4B10.

I always like to put in a little plug for my SMD, which is ANC 5A01. It is a nice manageable area with the Lamond-Riggs Library and UDC Lamond-Riggs campus. I think the residents in this pocket of the neighborhood are pretty low-key, nice folks.
