Final ANC 2B Agenda for Wednesday, October 11th and Special Election Update

Hello neighbors,

The final agenda for this evening’s ANC 2B regular October meeting has been posted on the ANC’s website and can be found here. As a reminder, the meeting will be on Wednesday, October 11th at 7:00 pm at the Brookings Institution, 1775 Massachusetts Avenue NW.

I would like to provide several documents that are listed in the agenda. They are as follows:

The list of alcoholic beverage license renewal applications that the commission will consider at this evening’s meeting can be found here.
The Alcoholic Beverage Control Board’s proposed rulemaking on changes to the DC Municipal Regulations can be found here.
The District Department of Transportation’s plan to improve safety at the intersection of Connecticut Avenue & R Street NW and the intersection of Connecticut Avenue & Florida Avenue NW can be found here.

I would also like to provide an update regarding the special election for the vacancy of single member district 2B07. Yesterday, Sean Treanor, one of two candidates for the special election, officially withdrew his candidacy for the single member district 2B07 vacancy. Given the fact that Kari Cunningham, the second candidate for the special election, was the only candidate remaining, the DC Board of Elections certified Kari as the new 2B07 commissioner. As a result, the Board of Elections also cancelled this evening’s special election. There will thus be no voting during this evening’s ANC meeting.

Kari was sworn-in by Councilmember Jack Evans earlier today. This evening’s ANC meeting will be her first official meeting as the new 2B07 commissioner. The commission looks forward to welcoming her this evening.

Please let your single member district commissioner or I know if you have any questions about the meeting agenda. We look forward to seeing you this evening!

Sincerely,

Peter Sacco
Executive Director
Advisory Neighborhood Commission 2B

Information on ANC 2B Hearings for Fall 2017 Alcohol License Renewals

Hello neighbors,

As you might have seen from ANC 2B’s regular October meeting agenda that was sent out last week, the ANC will begin considering a series of alcohol license renewals during this Wednesday’s meeting. The Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration (ABRA) required all grocery stores and markets that have licenses to sell only beer and wine to apply for renewal by October 2nd, 2017. Due to the fact that ANC 2B contains several grocery store and market licenses, ANC will set aside time during several upcoming regular meetings in order to consider the renewal of licenses.

The alcohol license renewal process is a critical time for the ANC to ensure that establishments are following the rules and being good neighbors. The process allows for the ANC to work with individual establishments to address any concerns from their neighbors. Community members are thus encouraged to attend the ANC’s meetings where renewals are being considered and to voice concerns about any individual establishments that are up for renewal.

I have created a list of the establishments whose license renewals will be considered during the ANC’s regular October meeting this Wednesday. The list can be found below:

ANC 2B License Renewals for October 2017 Meeting

Please note that the list was created based on the renewal notices that the ANC has received on a rolling basis thus far. There will be time set aside for community members to raise any concerns regarding the establishments included in the above list during this Wednesday’s meeting.

As a reminder, the ANC’s regular October meeting will be this Wednesday, October 11th at 7:00 pm at the Brookings Institution, 1775 Massachusetts Avenue NW. A copy of the meeting agenda can be found here.

Additionally, more information on the 2017 alcohol license renewal process can be found here.

Please let your single member district commissioner or I know if you have any questions about this matter. We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!

Sincerely,

Peter Sacco
