124: Communication re: Mrs. O'Brien - Watershed Management Committee Resolution Wastewater Construction Funds investigate the enforcement of the curfew throughout the city. In another area she suggested that the Council make a commitment to have the neighborhood action program developed for the area and that the Council appoint a taSk force to work with the staff to develop such a program and that Clark School should be central to anything done in that neighborhood, that would-~give this group time to develop a program and report back to the Council. She stated she was presenting this to see if the Council feels they would like to pursue all or some of it or if there are other things they would like to do. Mr. Albro stated that he agreed with Mrs. O'Brien and felt that the staff could get to work on these in a very short order. He stated he was especially interested in the tax relief for rehabilitation property. He asked Mrs. O'Brien if under her item enforcement of curfew, have some kind of report on the crime situation in Belmont Par.k, in terms of what can be done to alleviate that. Re stated that in appointing the task force for the neighborhood action program, he would like to see what develops. in terms of a neighborhood group. The City Manager stated that the staff would have a report at the next meeting with as many of the items as can be put together and a time table for the rest of the items. Mrs. O'Brien reported that the Watershed Management Committee has made its report and disband. She stated that the most important recommendation was the establishment of a Watershed Management~ Official in the~County Engineers Office. She stated that the last Council had requested that position a couple of years ago and the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority. When Mr. Agnor was directed to develop a proposal to come back to the .Board of Supervisors, she did asked that he at least look into that as a possible alternative. She suggested that this might be a matter the Council would like to discuss with the Board of Supervisors since this program will cost some money. There was a discussion two years ago about where things were going to be and how they were going to be funded, but none of those issues were ever resolved. ~me County has chosen to move off on its own in this area and if thats the way we want them to go that is all right, but she thinks that needs to be said. Mrs. O'Brien reported that a communication has been received from the Thomas Jefferson Planning District concerning wastewater construction funding and asked if the Council wished to pass a resolution in support of adequate federal funding for projects on line. On motion by Mrs. O'Brien, seconded by Mr. Buck the following resolution was unanimously adopted.
