AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER Volume 35, Number 4 l1door Swimming Pool A city-wide referendum on an indoor swimming pool, to be held not later than November 1972, was one of the recommendations of the Ad Hoc Indoor Swimming Pool Committee presented to city council at its December 6 meeting. The Ad Hoc Committee, chaired by Steve Polaschik, was appointed last sum- mer by the city council to explore the fl'asibility of holding a referen- dum to finance the construction of an indoor swimming pool facility. The Committee, however, urged that prior to the holding of a rcfl'r- l'ndum, a series of hearings be held to give citizens an opportunity to learn more of the dl'tailx of the proposals before they arc to VOl<', hf'arings, the Commit- te<' said, would also be useful in gotting citrlzen suggestions on the plans for. th<' faeilit;\'•_and in deter- mining the extent to which various groups would be using the pool and providing financial support. The Committee furtlwr urgNI preyaration of brochures and arti- cles explaining thl' proposal and also asked that the Parkg and.Rcc- rcatJon Advisory Board and the Advisory Planning Board bP askl'd to make comments on the Commit- tee's report. The Committee recommended that an exploration be made of sources of supplemental State and Federal funds. The bathhouse to serve both the indoor and outdoor swimming pools, the Commftt<'e felt, may most appropriately qualify under Federal open space matching funds. Council Action The council lmmedia.tely took ac- tion rto refer the Committee's report to the city's advisory boards with a hope for comments from them in time for a proposed January 12 meeting that council wanted to hold with the Ad Hoc Committee. The referendum date was suggcs- IU!d for November so it could be held in conjunction with the Gener- al Election for National and State offices. Councilman Gil Weidenfeld noted that there was also an earlier <'lection day in connection with the presidential primary in May 1972. Members of the Ad Hoc Commit- tee, in addition to PoJaschik, werP Joseph Costa, Leonie Penney, and Muriel Wcldenfeld. Councilman Charles Schwan served as chairman before his election to council in September. Accompanying the Committee's recommendations was a 12-page re- port discussing the various options open with respect to the location of -the pool, lf.S design, l'quLpmcnt, facUlties, and methods of financing.

The survey will cost money now, but you will save money In the long run." Amberg said that despite what he called "grievous mistakes" of the board on other matters, "we must face the hard decision of ap- proving the budget prepared by the board. We cannot reject out of hand the budget, if we are to keep our homes." He said he could understand people's distress over rising liv- ing. costs, but this frustration can- not be taken out on GHI. "What is happening is the result of actions in the total economy," he sald. Burgoon Comments Ed Burgoon, former GHI pres!· (!f'nt from 1954 to 1962, made a strong pitch for supporting the · bud got propa.red . by GHI manage--- ment. "\Ve have to cover ourselves or go' down the drain," he warned He regretted that during the years of his term, the board didn't always follow the advice of professional management to allow additional in- creases in the budget, such as for reserves. "If we had followed that advice," he said, "we would not have to raise charges as much as is being rec- ommended h!'re." Devonshire made the saiiif!"'"point. "You have .to be realistic. If you don't allow for the increases this year, you will be faced with even larger Increases next year." Burgoon also cited from his own experience as a housing IIIILilllger the large In costs that are occurring In apartment projects aH over the area. * Opposition Opposition to the proposed bud- get increase was expressed in a minority report of the Audit Com- mittee by Mabel Kandler. She said that unusually large amounts were going for GHI payroll costa and for capital improvements and she wanted rto see the results of the management survey before ap- proving the budget. The proposed budget· calls for a $10,000 management survey. Cathy Foster thought that this was not sufficient to get a good survey. She also a:sked people to vote against the budget until the sur- vey was made. Eunice Coxon im- plied that the large increase In the budget could be blamed on the GHI board because of its "mis- management." ReHer for Elderly On the relief measure for the el- derly, the voice vote in favor wu overwhelming. This measure, ru amended, provides a deferral of the 1972 incrCIIiSC in monthly charges for a member who is 66 years of ap or disabled and whOse annual In- come is $3,000 or less ($4,600 for a family).

l1door Swimming Pool

A city-wide referendum on an indoor swimming pool, to be held not later than November 1972, was one of the recommendations of the Ad Hoc Indoor Swimming Pool Committee presented to city council at its December 6 meeting. The Ad Hoc Committee, chaired by Steve Polaschik, was appointed last sum­mer by the city council to explore the fl'asibility of holding a referen­dum to finance the construction of an indoor swimming pool facility.

The Committee, however, urged that prior to the holding of a rcfl'r­l'ndum, a series of hearings be held to give citizens an opportunity to learn more of the dl'tailx of the proposals before they arc ask~d to VOl<', Su~h hf'arings, the Commit­te<' said, would also be useful in gotting citrlzen suggestions on the plans for. th<' faeilit;\'•_and in deter­mining the extent to which various groups would be using the pool and providing financial support.

The Committee furtlwr urgNI preyaration of brochures and arti­cles explaining thl' proposal and also asked that the Parkg and.Rcc­rcatJon Advisory Board and the Advisory Planning Board bP askl'd to make comments on the Commit­tee's report.

The Committee recommended that an exploration be made of sources of supplemental State and Federal funds. The bathhouse to serve both the indoor and outdoor swimming pools, the Commftt<'e felt, may most appropriately qualify under Federal open space matching funds.

Council Action The council lmmedia.tely took ac­

tion rto refer the Committee's report to the city's advisory boards with a hope for comments from them in time for a proposed January 12 meeting that council wanted to hold with the Ad Hoc Committee.

The referendum date was suggcs­IU!d for November so it could be held in conjunction with the Gener­al Election for National and State offices. Councilman Gil Weidenfeld noted that there was also an earlier <'lection day in connection with the presidential primary in May 1972.

Members of the Ad Hoc Commit­tee, in addition to PoJaschik, werP Joseph Costa, Leonie Penney, and Muriel Wcldenfeld. Councilman Charles Schwan served as chairman before his election to council in September.

Accompanying the Committee's recommendations was a 12-page re­port discussing the various options open with respect to the location of -the pool, lf.S design, l'quLpmcnt, facUlties, and methods of financing.

The 12.9 percent increase is fqui­valcnt to 16.2 percent of operating expenses which is defined to exclude mortgage payments. The GHI by­laws require that an increase in operating expenses or 10 P<'rcent or more must be approved by the membership.

Starting In January, the City will be picking up papers on the first and third Fridays ol .cl,lch month. In January, these days wilT' be the seventh and the twenty-first.

member that the structural survey will be t<> your benefit in years t<> come. The survey will cost money now, but you will save money In the long run."

Amberg said that despite what he called "grievous mistakes" of the board on other matters, "we must face the hard decision of ap­proving the budget prepared by the board. We cannot reject out of hand the budget, if we are to keep our homes."

He said he could understand people's distress over rising liv­ing. costs, but this frustration can­not be taken out on GHI. "What is happening is the result of actions in the total economy," he sald.

Burgoon Comments Ed Burgoon, former GHI pres!·

(!f'nt from 1954 to 1962, made a strong pitch for supporting the

· bud got propa.red . by GHI manage--­ment. "\Ve have to cover ourselves or go' down the drain," he warned He regretted that during the years of his term, the board didn't always follow the advice of professional management to allow additional in­creases in the budget, such as for reserves.

"If we had followed that advice," he said, "we would not have to raise charges as much as is being rec­ommended h!'re." Devonshire made the saiiif!"'"point. "You have .to be realistic. If you don't allow for the increases this year, you will be faced with even larger Increases next year."

Burgoon also cited from his own experience as a housing IIIILilllger the large increa~~es In costs that are occurring In apartment projects aH over the area. *

Opposition Opposition to the proposed bud­

get increase was expressed in a minority report of the Audit Com­mittee by Mabel Kandler. She said that unusually large amounts were going for GHI payroll costa and for capital improvements and she wanted rto see the results of the management survey before ap­proving the budget.

The proposed budget· calls for a $10,000 management survey. Cathy Foster thought that this was not sufficient to get a good survey. She also a:sked people to vote against the budget until the sur­vey was made. Eunice Coxon im­plied that the large increase In the budget could be blamed on the GHI board because of its "mis­management."

ReHer for Elderly

On the relief measure for the el­derly, the voice vote in favor wu overwhelming. This measure, ru amended, provides a deferral of the 1972 incrCIIiSC in monthly charges for a member who is 66 years of ap or disabled and whOse annual In­come is $3,000 or less ($4,600 for a family). The member must agree that the corporation may apply the sum of such deferred Increase in monthly charges against the sel­ling price of the unit when the memb!'r 1-l'avt's th<' corporation. An intcrl'st chargP of 6 percent per annum would be tacked on to the (kfcrrl'd increase.

The resolution, Introduced by council members Charles Callow, Francis F1rancols, Gladys Spellman

-and -Francis White, lists six mini­mum conditions or standards that sewage package treatment plants In general would .have to meet:

<1) The proposed treatment plant should serve property that has lm· mediate sewage rights <Area 3 of the county 10-year Water and Sewer Plan).

<2) 'I1he use of the treatment plant shall be strictly comidered as temporary. As soon as addltlion­al public sewage capacity Is avail­ble, the temporary plant shall be terminated and the plant hooked up 'wlth {the per;1118J1ent Washlngon Suburban Sanltacy. Commission ( W\SSC) system.. '·

:(3) The,;qu~tiy ~f' \,l:le. effluent · .al)d the stand.ards . to be met will

continue to be .~Wre lVIJponsiblllty of SDH. ·., . .

(4) The treatment pmnt.!J sball be mllllntalned and operated by ws­sc with WII cOIIts of this service ·to be borne by -!Jhe di!VIeloper, who must also post a bond to aaure

'payment of ·these colJts. <5l The treatment plant con­

struction, opcmtlng procedures, and qtiallty 'Of effluent . must receive written approval of SDH and WS­SC.

(6) &\feguards must Include (a) a meter to record the flow of sew­age Into the plant; (b) a large surge tank rto equalize the flow; (c) a recycling capabltJlty which would safeguard agalllltlt any unit of the plant fall1ng below the standard of trewtment; (d) a double, completely Independent power supply; and (o) a method of sewag<' •ludge dl•po•· a!.

Parcel Q Plat Approved · At the December 21 hearing of

the Prince Georges County Plan­ning Board which saw !Jhe ap­proval of the record plwt for the de­velopment of Parcel Q In ·Beltway Plaza, city manager James Gdese once again expressed the city's de­sire for a deflnllte over-all compre­hensive plan for the area west of Cherrywood Lane.

"In the absence of such a plan," he said, "we are getting strip com­mercial, hodge-podge development. This Is not good planning." ·

Giese said he recognized that the County Planning Board had no choice but to approve because It did not have the tools with which It would require such a plan. But he reiterated that the Board should seek thOBe tools.

Plannh\g Board stsff members lmd explained that on .slibdivlslon plat.!J,. the applicant heed n:ot desl¥­nate the uses of the proPertY •.

duced an amendment to the resofu­tlon whloh would require evacua­tion of realdent.!J Jn the event the effluent falls below hellllth depart­ment standards.

How applicable these a&ndards are to the Greenbriar situation Is uncertain because the major prob­lem fMing a pack~ treatment plant for Greenbriar Is the fact that the only available conduit for the discharge Of the effluent Is a tributary of Beavet Dam Creek, which !Is an inbennlttent running stream part of th(' year. '11he county council policy lltatement seta down no standards for using Intermittent s(.l"('ams.

Reeder had Introduced an am- · endment to the resolution which would have forbidden authorization for a package trewtment plant un­less th" point of discharge ·was Into a moving natural stream of wat!'r wth an average dw:Iy flow at iPMt •lx times the avcrage daily flow of thl' package 'treatm.Pnt plant HP later wlthdr.-w the arnf'ndment.

Ma, or Rich& d f'llski Interrupted to ask if. Chasanow's clients were agadnst Improving the center mall. Chasanow quickly replied, "No, but they are against paying for an Improvement from which, they can see no benefit." Chasanow main­tained that the renovation of the center mall was of chief benefit to the city and communllty as a whole, rather ~ban to the adjacent com­mercia! businesses.

Chasanow thought that the city should go ahead and pay for the Improvements In H:s properties In the hope th&t by setting such an e~ple the property owners will In turn reciprocate and upgrade their l!topertfes. · The city owns the c:enter· mall ·1and between Cen­terway and· the '~tatue.
