Reston RELAC A/C Service Notification/Update, May 6, 2020

Reston RELAC A/C Service Notification/Update

Hi everyone.  Hope you are all staying safe.



Our team at Relac is ready to begin the 2020 A/C season. Looks like the weather
for early May will be cooler than it has been for the last few years.

As a reminder the official startup date is May 22 or the second consecutive 80 degree

day in May.  In the last few years this has happened in the first week of May.  The
forecast has the temperatures well below 70 for the next 9 days.

We will continue to monitor the weather and update you on the RELAC startup date.


We had one customer contact us with the statement:  "I understand that the RELAC
will not be turned on due to the Pandemic.  Is this true?”.  This is totally a rumor and
we would like to assure you that we are ready to start operating in May.

Thank You

We will keep you posted


Mark
President Reston RELAC

By far the most clicked on link in these coronavirus updates has been the daily updates on cases found under Today's Updates. At the direction of Governor Northam, we now have case information available by ZIP Code. The recent data release is a change from the the Virginia Department of Health's (VDH) long-standing policy not to disclose data at the ZIP code level to protect patient privacy. With more than 22,300 confirmed cases of COVID-19 throughout Virginia, the risk to patient privacy is lower and VDH is publishing ZIP code data to help communities identify differences in the distribution of cases. You can find that ZIP Code information here - scroll down to the Data Download bar and then look for Cases and Testing Data by ZIP Code. From there you can search for your ZIP Code.

Not matter what ZIP code you live in, it is very clear is that there is still significant community transmission in our area. I urge everyone to stay vigilant with social distancing, wearing a face covering, washing your hands frequently and the other precautions to ensure your safety.

I would like to end this busy week with a Happy Mother's Day to all our residents who are mothers, as well as my wife, Kristina and my own mom in Missouri. I hope you have

Upper Waterview Cluster Parking Area Asphalt Repair Scheduled for May 8, 2020

Finley Asphalt and Concrete will be onsite Friday May 8, 2020, to repair and pave the gravel-filled patch area in the upper-level parking area adjacent to the Upper Waterview Cluster two-level carport.  The residents associated with the two affected carport spaces have been notified.  

This much needed repair work was requested many weeks ago, but Finley has been booked solid.  They had a sudden opening in their calendar and the WCA agreed to the last minute appointment because of the urgency of the repair due to the almost incessant rains.  Unexpectedly, a Finley crew dropped off a load of equipment today for Friday's work, probably to save time in the morning so that they can get the repair completed with a minimal amount of inconvenience to the affected carport users.

During our virtual meeting yesterday, May 5, the Board of Supervisors approved the FY 2021 Budget Markup. We made no changes to the revised FY 2021 Budget the County Executive proposed in early April. The Board also approved the FY 2020 Third Quarter Review, which sets aside $11 million for the county’s response to the pandemic and authorizes local spending of $200 million in federal funding through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (Cares) Act. 
 
As I noted in my remarks yesterday we must fund a robust local public health program, including hundreds of contact investigators as well as medically-supervised and supportive isolation for residents who need it. Our world changed drastically with the arrival of COVID-19. It is heartbreaking to see what this pandemic has done to our residents, small businesses, nonprofits and our community.  
 
Now our focus is on

We're in for a great treat around noon tomorrow (Saturday, May 2) when the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds will be flying over our county as part of a salute to healthcare workers. A collaborative effort by the Navy and Air Force, the planes will be flying over hospitals and locations in Baltimore before heading to D.C. and Fairfax County. I hope you have the opportunity to enjoy this spectacle with your family at home. More information

I would also like to thank our many residents and advocates for your engagement and input during both the Hunter Mill District budget town halls and the public hearings with the Board of Supervisors. Your voice
