With 28% (30% required) of eligible Reston Association Members voting, the RA Headquarters Referendum did not achieve its voting quorum requirement and has therefore failed.  Additionally had the referendum achieved its 30% quorum, two-thirds approval of the valid votes cast would also have been required for a successful referendum.  Of the valid votes cast by RA Members, only one-half voted for approval.

The Board has scheduled the spring street/parking lot clean up on April 28th to clear out the winter sand and most of spring’s tree blossoms.  Genesis will blow sand and debris from all curbs and around vehicles on all parking areas toward the street, then vacuum the street for final removal.

Due to possible vehicle damage, they will not blow under cars.  Therefore, to make sure that you get the most from the clean up, be sure to move your cars on April 28th!

The US Census Bureau will be “Address Canvassing” or Conducting Field Operations Nationwide from April through July, so you will likely see strangers in the neighborhood in the coming months. The Census Bureau wants you to be able to identify Census Bureau employees.

• Temporary Census employees: identification cards have the employee’s signature, an expiration date, but NO photograph.
• Regional level employees: identification cards have the bearer’s photograph instead of a signature, and an expiration date.
• Field office managers: identification cards have the bearer’s photograph instead of a signature, and an expiration date.

This week, you will receive the following Reston Association (RA) Notice of Referendum and Ballot.

Should the Reston Association Board of Directors be authorized to finance and expend, as determined by the Board of Directors, an amount not to exceed $15,000,000 to purchase a commercial office building or condominium space, or interest therein, or, in the alternative, to purchase property and to construct a building thereon for future use as the Association’s headquarters?

Controversy: In 2005, RA’s Board was authorized to spend $5,000,000 to purchase 20,000 sq. ft., yet the 2009 referendum asks for up to $15,000,000 for 35,000 sq. ft. without providing specifics (buy, lease, build?) nor adequate justification for the increases.

During these tough times, we encourage you to make an informed decision with regards to your RA dues before the April 10, 2009 voting deadline. Please visit the Headquarters Referendum webpage at Reston.org for updates, information sessions, Q&As, and other points of view.

• Flowering Pear Tree (Bradford and all family)

• Bamboo
• English Ivy
• Oriental Bittersweet
• Wisteria

Visit Reston.org for details and to be aware of any other changes before starting a new landscape. We certainly would not want to see hard earned money wasted.
