WCA Owner/Tenant Contact Update Form

(click here)

Maintaining current contact information helps the board and its committees reach owners and tenants with important board announcements as well as during emergency events such as a water/gas main break or to report storm damage to vehicles or other property.  Each owner and paying tenant should complete a separate form.  Non-resident owners should enter their address at the end of the form.  Note: You do NOT need to have a Google account in order to update and submit the form.

Dear Neighbors,

Today has truly been one of the most remarkable days in our country’s history, and the sounds and images on our screens are frightening and saddening. Over the years we have seen many challenges to authority, to our system, and even to each other. However, we have always emerged stronger and doubled down on our commitment to a more perfect union. Let’s not forget that our institutions are strong, our commitment to rule of law is unchanged, and that government by the people and for the people remains our foundational principle. We have the oldest democracy on earth and we will pull together so that does not change. Please everyone, stay home, stay safe and reach out to neighbors and friends who may be feeling frightened or isolated.
 
For your awareness, the county has been requested by D.C. officials to send trained Fairfax County Police Department Civil Disturbance Unit officers and commanders to assist in public safety efforts. In addition, Metro will close rail service at 8 p.m. and bus service at 9 p.m. 
 
COVID-19 Update
I have heard from many of you with questions about the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines and the need for more information. Cases continue to increase and most of us are anxious to rolI-up our sleeves and get vaccinated as soon as possible. To provide you with the latest information, I am hosting a town hall tonight at 7 p.m. with Fairfax County Health Department Director Dr. Gloria Addo-Ayensu. Dr. Gloria will present updates on the pandemic and local vaccine distribution plans. The virtual town hall will be on the Webex platform; use this link to attend and participate. You will be prompted to register with your email address and ZIP code before logging into meeting. If you prefer to listen to the meeting on your phone, you may call 1-844-621-3956 and use access code: 179 331 0021. This is also the number to use if accessing TTY 711. You can watch a live stream of the meeting on YouTube Live. If you can't watch tonight, the video of the town hall will be available here beginning tomorrow, Jan. 7.

In addition, Governor Northam held a press conference today detailing the state's efforts to vaccinate Virginia's approximately 8.5 million residents (times 2 shots is 17 million vaccinations).You can watch the video here.

I also encourage you to take a few minutes to review these two vaccine FAQ pages, which may answer many of your questions.


Respectfully,
Walter

New Hands Free Law Effective Jan. 1
A reminder from the Fairfax County Police Department (FCPD) that it is now against the law to hold a phone or mobile device while driving. The fine is $125 for the first offense. If you are caught again or seen on the phone in a construction zone, the fine is $250. Help keep our roads safe and put your phone down.
 
Here are some options from FCPD if you need to make a call:
  • Use a Bluetooth earpiece for hands free talking.
  • If you choose to use headphones, please keep in mind Virginia law states you may only have one ear bud in while driving.
  • If equipped, connect your phone to your vehicle through Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
  • Consider having a passenger answer your calls via speakerphone so you can talk hands free.
  • Use a cell phone mount in your car to hold your phone.
 
The law provides some exemptions, which include:
  • Reporting an emergency.
  • If you are legally parked or stopped.
  • Anyone operating an emergency vehicle while in the performance of their official duties.
  • The use of an amateur or citizens band radio.
  • The operator of any Department of Transportation vehicle during the performance of traffic incident management services.
