[WardFive] Message from 5B04 Commissioner Carolyn C. Steptoe

Dear 5B04 Community --

 

In keeping with my commitment to the 5B04 community, I wish to pass along this information. 

 

After 16 blessed years in my Lawrence Street (Brookland) home - a lovely environment I purchased as a single, young professional - I have decided to sell my home.  I will remain in my D.C. hometown, but will live in upper, upper N.W. (16th Street  - the inimitable "Gold Coast." )  Like many Washingtonians, yes, I do sing The Jefferson's theme song in association w/the prospect of living on The Gold Coast... lol!  

 

Anyway, my new home will be 2 blocks from Walter Reed.  It is also but a few blocks from Rock Creek Park and Silver Spring.  As most know, the Gold Coast is a very quiet, tree-lined and long-standing residential neighborhood.

 

I anticipate finalizing (prayerfully) all my relocation matters soon; several weeks anyway.  Once everything is finalized, I shall then relinquish my 5B04 SMD commissioner seat since, at that point, I shall neither be a 5B04 resident nor a resident of Ward 5.  

 

I wanted to share this with you so you may know, until my formal transition out of our 5B04 community, you may contact me anytime should you need assistance.   Until such time, I shall continue to be in the 5B04 community and work as the elected 5B04 commissioner.  Although ANC 5B is on summer break, I can be reached on 202-321-3860.  You may also send me an email at 5b04@anc.dc.gov. 

 

Please know it remains my honor to serve my community and enjoy my neighbors.  Blessings and happy summer to all!

 

Very kind regards,

 

Commissioner Carolyn C. Steptoe

WHAT IS AN ANC?

The Advisory Neighborhood Commissions (ANCs) are locally elected bodies which shall advise the Council of the District of Columbia, the Mayor and each executive agency, the Government of the District of Columbia, all independent agencies, boards and commissions with respect to all proposed matters of District of Columbia governmental policy including but not limited to decisions regarding planning, streets, recreation, social service programs, education, health, safety, and sanitation which affect the Commission area.  In each of these areas, the intent of the ANC legislation is to ensure input from an advisory board that is made up of the residents of the neighborhoods that are directly affected by government action. The ANCs are the body of government with the closest official ties to the citizens in a neighborhood.  Commissioners serve without compensation.  See PL 93-198 and DCL 1-21, as amended.
