He said he does not think the City can force <br />VDOT to be responsible for utility relocation, but he will provide more information by <br />the second reading of the appropriation. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brown said that the existing contract with VDOT requires that if a locality <br />requests utility relocation then the City pays for it. <br /> <br /> Mr. Schilling said the question is what is the genesis of this utility relocation and <br />why were we not aware of it earlier. <br /> <br /> On motion by Mr. Caravati, seconded by Mr. Lynch, the $967,700 appropriation <br />of VDOT and Insurance Reimbursement for Park and Locu st Bridge Repairs was offered <br />and carried over to the next meeting for consideration. <br /> <br />REPORT <br />: RETREAT FOLLOW - UP <br /> <br /> Mr. Caravati said he has questions about the document and would like to defer the <br />matter to the next meeting. Mr. Caravati said he is unsur e about the actual process for the <br />strategic priorities and how they are going to work. He also asked if it is envisioned that <br />the work plan will replace priorities. <br /> <br /> Mr. O'Connell said the work plan, which will replace priorities, will be reviewed <br />with Council's vision and principles. He said a document will be prepared and brought to <br />Council. <br /> <br /> Mr. Caravati asked how often the Communiqué will be sent to Council, and Mr. <br />O'Connell said that at this time it will be sent monthly. <br /> <br /> Regarding Council feedba ck, he said he thinks Councilors need to share their <br />feedback with all Councilors in the open. He said he would like to have all consultants <br />reports distributed at least a week in advance of any public meeting. <br /> <br /> Referring to Mr. Caravati's comments about feedback, Mr. Schilling said we need <br />to decide if Mr. Caravati's suggestion is the most practical and effective. <br /> <br /> Mr. Cox said that until a process is developed regarding effective communication, <br />he does not think the matter should be debated. <br /> <br /> Mr. Schi lling expressed concern that Councilors have responded disrespectfully to <br />comments made by him in the past. <br /> <br /> The retreat follow - up was deferred to the next meeting. <br /> <br />
