TOV Job Descriptions
This link contains job descriptions for the Town of Vienna. We know a candidate who wants to apply for the position of Historic Administrator (doesn't that sound important?), but it seems to be the only job description missing. Who is the current Historic Administrator and what does he or she do?





Comments
Maud holds that job. She is friends with a meteorologist who drew up her walk on the hill guide, which she states is the holy grail of inventories the TOV needed to provide for the HD,
Intelligent and honest people need not apply.
Right Carey Sienicki...?

How many of these positions are a redundancy in service that we get from Fairfax?

AS TO THE ALLEGED "HISTORIC" WINDOVER HISTORIC DISTRICT AND VIENNA HISTORY IN GENERAL, MAUDE, JANE, LAINE AND OTHER VIENNA "HISTORIANS" CLEARLY DO NOT AUTHENTICATE THEIR ASSERTIONS IN ANY BELIEVABLE MANNER. MAYBE THEY ARE FOLLOWING THE OLD COMMIE THEORY THAT IF YOU TELL THE SAME LIE OFTEN ENOUGH PEOPLE BEGIN TO BELIEVE IT.

"Concerned," although I'm guessing you intended this to be a rhetorical question, I'll bite and put you to your burden: to what "service that we get from Fairfax" are you referring? Clearly, you have SOMETHING in mind, right?
The only arguable "redundancy" I can think of is police protection -- but even that isn't exactly redundant, given that I can't recall the last time I saw a county mountie in town limits with lights on.
So reading deeper into your "question," I suppose you're suggesting the town ditch its police force? I'm afraid I can't get behind that.
What else you got in mind?

No Adam I like our police force as well. I was just thinking in general terms e.g. animal warden. Several people I know have called them only to be referred to Fairfax.

Ok, I gotcha. That happened to me, actually (the animal control referral).

Adam your naivete about Vienna is reflected in your reference re: the absence of Fairfax Police in Vienna.
I had an incident in Fairfax County which I wished to report to a policeman. At ten thirty at night the Fairfax policeman said I would have to meet him at the seven eleven in the county since my house was in Vienna. You like to ask questions, answer this one: Why?

I have no idea. My understanding is that county cops have jurisdiction in Vienna. It could be that the county mountie didn't understand jurisdictional issues -- moreover, I'm not sure why you were talking to a patrolman, rather than a dispatcher, and I'm not sure why they wouldn't take your complaint on the phone, but rather insisted on a meeting. Weird.

Do you why? I believe the police have restrictions placed on them.... Maybe someone from HV might want to see the policy that the Police have with interacting with the public.

Adam, Fairfax County police can only address an issue in Vienna if the town requests them to.
For instance, last year when there was a bomb threat along with an abandoned backpack at the Cedar Lane School, the Town asked Fairfax County to come to the party and BYOBs (bring your own bomb squad.)
The County exploded the backpack with some kind of water device, and then per usual, the Town acted like nothing happened. My concussed doors and shattered nerves said otherwise.

That historic administrator job description is now gone. What Town employee got that fixed?

Adam this one is for you, we know you are lurking. Contact with the Fairfax Police may have gone down like this: You call the police and they take your name and phone number. They dispatch a policeman, who when he realizes the address is in Vienna gets on his cell phone and calls the complainant to advise him he cannot come into Vienna. Clear now?
