Leaders of the Vietnamese-American Chamber of Commerce and several Eden Center patrons this evening criticized recent actions of the Falls Church police and called on the City Council to improve the relationship between the Center and the FCPD. The comments came in the wake of last month’s raid on the Center, which allegedly uncovered gambling operations at numerous establishments.
The speakers charged that the raid has given people a false image of the Eden Center, which in turn has hurt business. They criticized police procedures and conduct, before, during, and after the raid. Several said they had never heard of the Dragon family, which police alleged ran the gambling racket. Some maintained that suspects were not read their rights or were banned from the Center without due process.
Spokesman Ty Nguyen offered the Council a list of suggestions for better policing. He recommended establishing a drug free zone; creating an Eden Center community watch; designating an FCPD liaison, which he termed a full time bridge to Vietnamese community; appointing a City Council liaison, who would sit in at Council meetings; permitting “walk along volunteers” to assist the police; and having Miranda rights texts available in English and Vietnamese, while providing translators to read suspects their rights whenever a warrant is being served.
Vice Mayor Dave Snyder stated that he had never heard of the issues presented tonight, but called the speakers’ comments constructive. ”We cherish and highly value our relationship with the Eden Center and will work to assure a safe and prosperous environment for all concerned,” he said, to considerable applause.
Mayor Nader Baroukh added that he felt the vice mayor’s comments summed up the feelings of the entire Council and pledged to continue the dialogue and outreach to the Eden Center community.
Councilwoman Robin Gardner pointed out that at one time the police had maintained a sub-station at the Center. “I’m glad we’re taking this as seriously as we are,” she said. “Some of the stories are extremely disturbing.”
City Manager Wyatt Shields said that Falls Church is committed to community policing. “The police are there to protect and to serve and I have no doubt about that,” he said.
Water Rates Rising
The Council approved an ordinance authorizing an 8% water rate increase, effective October 1. The measure was adopted, 6-0, with Councilman Lawrence Webb absent. According to Mr. Shields, the impact to the average customer would vary from $2.00 to $7.00 per quarter, based on usage.
The monies received through the increase will remain in the City’s water fund in accordance with a 2010 order of the Fairfax Circuit Court. That order did not enjoin the City from setting its rates, only from transferring water system profits to its general fund.
Prior to the vote, Councilman Ira Kaylin noted that Fairfax Water had advised Falls Church in writing that it would not challenge the rate increase. Many Fairfax County residents have protested the measure, which they regarded as unfair. Over 90% of the water system’s customers reside in the county.
City “Bailing Out” on the Voting Rights Act
At the request of the Electoral Board and the General Registrar, the Council approved, 5-1, a resolution to begin the process of “bailing out” from the pre-clearance requirements of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Ms. Gardner cast the only negative vote.
The Act requires certain jurisdictions, including the City of Falls Church, to notify the U.S. Department of Justice before making changes in their local voting procedures, such as changing a precinct/ward location, adding an absentee voting location, or conducting registration drives. Exemption from the requirement will provide overall financial and personnel efficiencies, while continuing to abide by the letter and spirit of the Act.
Congress amended the Act in 1982 to establish a process for local governments to be exempted or “bailed out” from the pre-clearance requirements if they have demonstrated a positive record of protecting voter rights in their jurisdiction for a period of at least ten years. Since 1982 over 18 counties or cities in the Commonwealth have successfully gone through the process.
City Manager’s Report
Mr. Shields stated that the City received over 8 inches of rain during last week’s storm, something that could be expected only once every 85 years. He said that the storm management system was well maintained but that it had been overwhelmed by an event it was not designed to handle. Many homeowners have reported flooded basements, especially along Sherrow Avenue, Timber Lane, W. Columbia St., and lower portions of Broadmont.
The City is waiving the excess trash fees for the next two pickups but is not waiving the bulk pickup fee. Mr. Shields cautioned that appliances under water should be replaced rather than repaired. Only qualified contractors should be hired to deal with sewer backflows. A list is available on the City’s website.
Mayor Baroukh suggested that the City hold a town hall meeting to address the flooding problems and other emergency management issues.
Cox Cable soon will be shifting FCC-TV from Channel 12 to Channel 11. The new channel will be available throughout the City and Fairfax County. Channel 12 is only available in eastern portions of the county.
Mr. Shields cited Gary La Porta for his recent work in conjunction with the City’s planning efforts.
Vision Statement and Work Plan
The Council passed resolutions, 6-0, approving its vision statement and the work plan for the current term. The Council amended the work plan prior to the vote to include references to the Eden Center.

The Falls Church Farmers Market was voted #3 of medium-size markets across the country in the 2011 “America’s Favorite Farmers Market” contest sponsored by the American Farmland Trust. The Falls Church Farmers Market was the #1 vote getter of medium-size markets in Virginia. The contest ran from June 1 through Aug. 31.
In an effort to promote local farmers markets, Farmland Trust sponsors the annual contest to choose America’s favorite farmers markets in four size categories: boutique markets with 15 or fewer vendors; small markets, 16 to 30 vendors; medium markets, 31 to 55 vendors; and large markets with 56 or more vendors. Falls Church City, with its 45 vendors, competed in the medium market category and beat out hundreds of similarly-sized markets throughout the country. In 2010, the Falls Church Farmers Market was voted #1 of all medium-size markets in the United States.
The Falls Church Farmers Market is open every Saturday, and during peak seasons more than 40 vendors offer fresh locally grown fruits and vegetables, cheeses, meats, baked goods, plants, and wine. Master Gardeners staff a booth at the Market to answer gardening questions and the Chef Series continues through mid-November with demonstrations by local restaurants (check the website for the schedule).
The Falls Church Farmers Market is open from 8 a.m. until noon (9 a.m. in the winter months) in the parking lot of City Hall, 300 Park Ave. and is sponsored by the Falls Church Recreation and Parks Department. For more information about the market, call 703-248-5027 (TTY 711).
Million Dollar Gambling Bust at Eden Center

August 12, 2011
Falls Church City Police, in conjunction with members of the Northern Virginia Regional Gang Task Force, yesterday confiscated over $1 million in cash and 70 gambling devices valued at $200,000 in a raid at the Eden Center (6751 Wilson Blvd.). Arlington and Fairfax County officers and the Federal Bureau of Investigation also participated in the investigation.
Police served felony search warrants at 13 restaurants and made numerous arrests during the raid, dubbed Operation Aces and Eights. One warrant was served in Fairfax County.
Nineteen people were charged with various misdemeanor offenses including gambling, fireworks, and ABC violations. Several felony arrests are pending.
Task Force members announced the results of the raid this morning at a briefing on the City Hall steps. According to Chief Harry Reitze, FCPD first received reports of illegal gambling activity at the Center in 2010. The Task Force was called in late that year to penetrate the operation.
“Yesterday’s arrests and property seizures will help stem the flow of money that often funds other illegal activity in the region,” said Reitze. The investigation of criminal gang activity in the region is continuing, he said, and more arrests are pending.
Task Force commander, Lt. Dan Hess of Prince William County, described the gambling devices, which were in plain sight, as resembling entertainment machines, but with a slot off to the side. Hess said that the activity was controlled by a primarily Vietnamese-American gang known as the Dragon family and that its actions had “paralyzed the Eden Center community.” He stated that a number of business owners and patrons thanked the police officers who were conducting the raid.
Chief Reitze said that the Eden Center has long had “a checkered reputation.” Over the years it has been the site of both petty and serious crimes, such as assaults, robberies, extortion, narcotics sales, and homicides, mostly gang-related.
Officials observed that gangs have “long tentacles” and that they are capable of quickly shifting their operations from one jurisdiction to another, thus a regional approach to the problem is essential. Chief Reitze acknowledged that City police could not have conducted the operation on their own.
Joe Price, Chairman of the Gang Task Force and Chief of the Leesburg Police Department, said Thursday’s raid was another significant milestone in the Task Force’s efforts to combat gang crime and to reduce the influence of gangs in the Northern Virginia region. He said the Task Force has focused not only on enforcement but also prevention and intervention.
Teen-agers are especially vulnerable to gangs, as both victims and recruits. Therefore, the Task Force works with local organizations in efforts to mentor those at risk. In Falls Church City, mentoring sessions for middle school students are held Thursday afternoons after school at the Community Center.
Businesses Raided - Search warrants for illegal gambling were served Thursday at the following Eden Center establishments:
Café Nho
Café Ha
Café Nha Trang
Café H20
Café Le Mirage
Café Quan 7 Lo
Café Bay 11
Café De Paris
Café Dang
Café Hoanh Qanh
Café Gio
Café Hai Lua
Café Vv – 6779
The Regional Gang Task Force - The Northern Virginia Regional Gang Task Force was initially funded with a 2003 Department of Justice Appropriations Bill. It is a multi-jurisdictional partnership comprised of local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to address gang activity in Northern Virginia. The Board of Directors of the Gang Task Force are Chief Law Enforcement Officers of the following jurisdictions.
Arlington County
City of Alexandria
Town of Dumfries
City of Fairfax
Fairfax County
City of Falls Church
Fauquier County
Town of Herndon
Town of Leesburg
Loudoun County
Manassas City
Manassas Park
Prince William County
Town of Vienna
Virginia State Police
Town of Warrenton
Aces and Eights - According to American legend, the Dead Man’s Hand was the pair Wild Bill Hickok was holding when he was shot in the back in a saloon at Deadwood, SD in 1876.
Hilton Hotel Project Advances, Byron Office Space Approved

The proposed Hilton Garden Inn moved closer to reality last night as the Falls Church City Council unanimously approved special exceptions requested by the project’s developers. The exceptions, for building height and zoning, remove the last remaining hurdles before the site plan stage. The Planning Commission had approved the project on July 18. Construction of the 110 room hotel at 706 W. Broad St. could begin as early as October.
Originally approved in 2008, the project has faced stiff opposition from residents and from parents of children at the adjacent St. James School. However, only two people spoke out against the hotel last night, one citing concerns over security and trash pickup, the other questioning the project’s long-term financial viability. Several representatives of the Chamber of Commerce spoke in favor of the hotel, stating that it would provide jobs for 30 people and generate substantial tourist and conference revenue, estimated at $540,000 annually.
The developers are proffering that the hotel will be built to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified standards. If that is not met within three years of the issuance of the certificate of occupancy, the developer will contribute $50,000 toward repaving N. Oak St. or other such work as designated by the City.
Byron Office Space - The Council also approved the use of office and professional office space at the Byron (513 W. Broad St.) in locations previously approved for retail. The resolution passed, 5-1, with Ms. Gardner absent. Both the Planning Commisson and the Economic Development Authority had earlier endorsed the change. Some of the first floor space on the west side of the building has remained vacant since the Byron opened in 2006.
Mayor Nader Baroukh opposed the measure, questioning whether the space had been fully marketed. The mayor said he did not want to see space left unoccupied but believed that the Council’s intention was that the space be used for retail and questioned whether such exceptions should be granted in the future without a penalty clause. “When we approve something through a (special exception) amendment, there’s an expectation we’ll get something in return,” he said.
The mayor also cited unresolved issues with the building’s parking arrangements, which have made it difficult to market its retail space. Councilman Ron Peppe noted that building has the most confusing labels of any building in town. “It’s not clear where you’re going to park that you don’t get towed away and where you do,” he said.
City Manager’s Report - Mr. Shields advised that eleven speed limit radar signs soon will be installed as a traffic calming measure. The installation is funded through a federal grant. Homeowners have been notified as to where the signs will be placed.
One hundred seventy residents participated in last Saturday’s household hazardous waste collection.
Sign-up now is open for the September 17 Fall Festival / Taste of Falls Church.
Appointments- Mark Sokolowski and Steven Knight were appointed to unexpired terms on the Citizens Advisory Committee on Transportation. Their tems run until January 31, 2013. David Braun was appointed to an unexpired term with the Health Systems Agency of Northern Virginia. The term extends until Jun3 30, 2013.
Closed Session - At 10:55 pm the Council entered into a closed session concerning water system litigation.
Video - A tape of the public meeting is available at the City website.
Mayor Hails Northgate Groundbreaking
July 15, 2011 by (see byline) · 2 Comments
July 15, 2011
Yesterday, Mayor Nader Baroukh and other City officials participated in the groundbreaking of the Northgate. First proposed by Hekemian & Company over seven years ago, the project is located at former site of the Pearson Funeral Home at the corner of N. Washington and E. Jefferson St.
“After enduring – we all hope – the worst days of the recession, we can celebrate the start of construction and the transformation of this property, which is important to the City’s image and its economic health,” said the mayor.
The Northgate is intended to help enliven the North Washington area of Falls Church City. The project is a short walking distance from the East Falls Church Metro Station and regional access that will connect the City to Dulles Airport via the new Silver Line. As a transit-oriented development, the Northgate will produce 95 new apartments and 10 rental town homes. Seven of the units will be designated as affordable dwelling units.
The project also offers 15,000 square feet of office space and nearly 23,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space. “We all have a stake in seeing the Northgate become a hub of commercial activity with appeal to both the immediate neighborhood and customers from outside the City,” Mr. Baroukh said.
The mayor expressed his gratitude to the residents of the East Jefferson Street neighborhood and to all City residents who participated in the evolution of the project by providing input during each phase of its review and approval process. He also thanked Chris Bell of Hekemian and City staff under the direction of City Manager Wyatt Shields and the late Dan McKeever in guiding the Northgate from concept to reality.
City Council members Johannah Barry, Lawrence Webb, and Ira Kaylin, Economic Development Authority Chairman Dave Tarter, Planning Commission chair Melissa Teates, and many other officials also attended the groundbreaking ceremony.
The Northgate was approved by the Planning Commission and the City Council in 2007. Construction is scheduled to be completed in 2013.
The architecture of the Northgate will be unique in the City. The design, by MV+A Architects of Bethesda, will reflect materials and features common in buildings along Connecticut Avenue in NW Washington, DC.
The site is the location of a presidential visit to Falls Church. Exactly one hundred years ago next week, President William Howard Taft spoke on the stairs of the former home of Dr. Tunis Quick to a gathering of about 300 Falls Church residents. The president was on his way to the site of the first battle of Bull Run to commemorate the 50th anniversary of that event.
His visit will be reflected in an historic marker on the site. There also will be a marker that explains the history of the site from its colonial origins through its most recent function as a long-standing Falls Church business location.

A ceremonial groundbreaking is scheduled for Thursday, July 14, on the Northgate project in the City of Falls Church. Located at the north entrance to the City at the intersection of N. Washington Street (Rt. 29) and E. Jefferson Street, the project, owned by Hekemian & Co., will include 23,000 square feet of ground floor retail, 14,000 square feet of office space, 95 apartments and 10 townhouses. The Northgate is being developed on the former site of Pearson’s Funeral Home.
“On a high profile gateway connecting the City of Falls Church and Arlington, the Northgate project represents a $50 million investment in our community,” said Mayor Nader Baroukh. “This development will have Orange and Silver Line Metro accessibility and will help enliven N. Washington Street just a few blocks from the State Theatre and a host of popular Falls Church restaurants.”
Following many public meetings, public hearings and staff conferences, the Northgate was approved by the Planning Commission and the City Council in 2007. Construction is scheduled to be completed in 2013.
The architecture of the Northgate will be unique in the City. The design, by MV + A Architects of Bethesda, will reflect materials and features common in buildings along Connecticut Avenue in NW Washington, DC.
Council Votes Preliminary Approval of Water Rate Increase; CDC Parents Plead for Lease Extension

June 28, 2011
The Falls Church City Council unanimously approved the first reading of a controversial 8% water rate increase Monday evening. Prior to the vote, several Fairfax County residents spoke in opposition, insisting that the increase was unjustified, due in part to earlier court rulings against the City.
Dennis Hennigan, an attorney, said he did not see how a system that had been so profitable now needed a rate increase. “Something does not add up here,” he said. “Falls Church should be reducing its rates and returning its overcharges to customers.” He added that he found it somewhat disturbing that the City showed so little deference to the findings of Virginia courts.
Hennigan cited Judge R. Terrence Ney’s Jaunuary 2010 finding that Falls Church could not transfer profits from its water system to its general fund. As only 8% of its customers reside in the City, most of the system’s revenue is collected from Fairfax residents, who derived no benefit from transfers to the general fund. The judge ruled Falls Church’s practice an unconstitutional tax on non-residents and enjoined it from making further transfers.
McLean Citizens Association president Ron Jackson criticized the water rate study the City used to justify the increase. “We’re paying twice,” he said, claiming that the system’s reserves were already built up due to past overcharges to Fairfax customers.
Elaine Cerriano called on the City to give people more time to review the study and raise. She asked for at least 45 more days and suggested the information be made available in county libraries.
Larry Sexton of the Falls Hill Civic Association concluded his questions for the Council by asking “Do you think if you didn’t have a monopoly we’d still be your customers?” Another speaker was even harsher, calling the Council arrogant and its actions unconscionable.
In response to the customers’ comments, Vice Mayor Dave Snyder stated that the City’s intention is to insure that the water rates are set so that the system will provide safe and reliable water to our customers, whether in Falls Church City or Fairfax County.
“I will not be swayed by political arguments or arguments directed to keep our rates artificially low that the system suffers,” he said. “Nor will I delay needed rate actions, even though politically popular, if those rate actions are essential to providing the quality of the water we provide all of our customers.”
Snyder said that the City was in full compliance with Judge Ney’s ruling and that the proposed rate increase is consistent with that ruling and not based on any such profit transfer. He added that traditionally, such organizations that are running a risk have a right to a fair rate of return, and that he respectfully did not agree with the court’s decision.
The vice mayor noted that the rate study had been posted on Falls Church’s website on June 1 and that copies have been provided to Fairfax officials and anyone who’d asked for it, but he agreed to furnish copies to libraries within the system’s service area.
Snyder said the bulk of the rate increase is to fund reserves and that the monies received would remain in the water fund. He also lauded the system’s water quality and its past performance during inclement weather, when it maintained its high standards while other systems could not.
Second reading of the ordinance is scheduled for July 11. If approved, the rate increase, the first in six years, would take effect on August 1.
Child Development Center Parents Seek Extension - Over a dozen parents of children attending the CDC asked the Council to consider extending the Easter Seal’s lease on the property, which is scheduled to expire in November. Speakers had high praise for the quality of care provided at the Center and the dedication of its staff. Many were concerned that they would not be able to find an alternative if the CDC were to close on short notice.
A task force has been formed to address the issue. Deputy City Manager Cindy Mester informed the council that it had met Monday afternoon and was scheduled to meet again on Thursday. Staff will set up a website page on the topic that would appear on both the City and Schools sites. Mester said the task force will ask the Council to extend its deadline to July 30.
For nearly 50 years the facility has been leased to Easter Seals, who would prefer an extension until at least the summer of 2013. Easter Seals would be willing to pay $50,000 annually for the space, currently leased at $1 per year.
City Schools have asked to assume control of the property in July 2012 in order to house the preschool education programs currently located at Mt. Daniel. This would also free space to permit the relocation of the Falls Church Community Center preschool program
Economic Incentives Adopted - The Council also unanimously approved, 6-0, with Ms. Gardner absent, a resolution establishing a policy which will give the City the opportunity to provide new incentives for commercial redevelopment. The stated goal is to encourage new and sustainable economic development and private investment in targeted areas of the City and to create a better balance between the City’s residential and commercial tax base components.
This will be achieved primarily through land use planning and zoning that provides height and density bonuses for desired outcomes in designed areas. In some cases the City will encourage and accelerate new commercial redevelopment by considering public participation, including tax increment financing and partial and temporary abatement of business taxes.
City Attorney John Foster advised that the resolution essentially serves as a guide to the Council going forward and that it does not extend any rights to developers.
Appointments - The Council appointed the following citizens to unexpired terms on various City commissions, committees, and boards:
Robert Loftur-Thun to the Planning Commission: (01/01/09) – 12/31/12
Julio Idrobo to the Housing Commission: (01/01/09) – 12/31/11

Steve Selby to the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board: (09/01/09) – 08/31/12

Jonathan Fritsch to the Architectural Advisory Board: 06/01/11 – 05/31/14
