ANC 3F Jan. 13 hybrid meeting agenda: Water main work, Whale Tea cocktails, Forest Hills Park funding

January 8, 2026 by FHC Leave a Comment

ANC 3F, returning from its December hiatus, is also returning to the hybrid meeting format when it meets next Tuesday, January 13th.

The commission’s October meeting at Forest Hills Senior Living and over Zoom was a test run, and its first hybrid meeting since 2020.

The draft agenda of the January 13th meeting (below) includes an update on DC Water’s ongoing small water main replacement project, a vote on supporting The Whale Tea’s application for an alcoholic beverage license, and a resolution on funding for Forest Hills Park improvements. (According to our park history timeline, the park is due for another revamp.)
