<br />
<br />Mr. Hendrix responded that the staff wished to iron out difficulties
<br />
<br />with the ~original bid first and Mrs. O'Brien objected to the
<br />
<br />staff not including Council in these negotiations in the first
<br />
<br />place. It was agreed that copies of the present documents would
<br />
<br />be given to Council members for their comments and changes
<br />
<br />before the City staff met with the County staff.
<br />
<br />On motion by Mr. Buck, seconded by Mr. Albro, the following
<br />
<br />resolution was unanimously adopted.
<br />
<br /> WHEREAS, by Senate Joint Resolution No. 55, adopted at its
<br />1980 Session, the General Assembly of Virginia expressed its
<br />wish that no agency or public body of the Commonwealth or its
<br />political subdivisions should hold a meeting or other official
<br />function in a location or facility that denies membership or
<br />admission to.any person on the basis of race, color, religion,
<br />sex or national origin; and
<br />
<br /> WHEREAS, it has been the policy of this Council for a number
<br />of years not to schedule public meetings in facilities which
<br />practice such discrimination; now, therefore, be it
<br />
<br /> RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Charlottesville,
<br />Virginia, that it shall be the policy of the City for this Council
<br />and all boards, commissions, departments, agencies and other entities
<br />supported in whole or in part by the City, to meet only in locations
<br />and facilities in which members and guests are admitted on an
<br />impartial basis, without regard to race, color, religion, sex or
<br />national origin; and be it further
<br />
<br /> RESOLVED that the Clerk of the Council is direcued to
<br />distribute copies of this resolution to the chief officer of each
<br />department, board, commission or agency receiving City funds, and
<br />to send a certified copy thereof to the Clerk of the Senate of
<br />Virginia.

<br />
<br />Mr. Lionel Key addressed Council to express his concern
<br />
<br />about this ordinance. He inquired whether this particular
<br />
<br />ordinance covered Main Street and Mayor Brunton read out the
<br />
<br />boundaries cited by the ordinance, which does not include Main
<br />
<br />Street. Mr. Key inquired whether this was legal, as he had heard
<br />
<br />of a similar ordinance that was declared invalid in Alexandria.
<br />
<br />Mr. Roger Wiley, City Attorney, responded that that was the case
<br />
<br />but that decision was overturned on appeal by the Supreme Court
<br />
