2 <br /> Ms. Kendra Ham ilton, 620 Booker Street, representing the Rose Hill <br />Neighborhood Association, spoke in support of Ms. Terrell's concerns about the dog day <br />care center. She said Ms. Terrell's quality of life is being threatened. She asked for <br />Council's help in working t hrough these issues. Several members of the audience stood <br />in support of Ms. Hamilton's statement. <br /> <br />st <br /> Mr. Waldo Jacquith, 511 North 1 Street, presented the following suggestions: <br />provide public surfaces for handbills and posters which are historic means of <br />communication, the cost of which would be negligible; and move Council elections to <br />November to coincide with elections of constitutional officers. He said the turnout in the <br />last Council election was appalling and moving to November would save $29,00 0 a year. <br />Mr. Jacquith said he thinks the notion that people who vote in May are more <br />knowledgeable about the issues is hogwash. <br /> <br /> Responding to a question from Ms. Richards, Mr. Tolbert said that his department <br />is aware of the violation by the dog day ca re center and the property owner has been <br />cited. He said the outside runs require a special use permit, and while the owner may <br />pursue a special permit for this purpose, the runs cannot be used during that process. He <br />said the drainage issues are a resul t of no site plan being filed, and noted this was part of <br />the citation. <br /> <br /> Ms. Richards requested that Council consider the Patriot Act resolution at the next <br />meeting, and Councilors agreed. <br /> <br /> Mr. Schilling said that Mr. Gaines, who spoke at the last Counci l meeting, called <br />to say he has not received a response regarding the questions he raised. <br /> <br /> Mr. Cox suggested that information provided by the Schools at the last School <br />Board/Council lunch meeting would be helpful to Mr. Gaines. <br /> Mr. Cox said he consid ers the issue of moving Council elections to November a <br />bit of unfinished business. He thanked speakers for bringing the issue of real estate relief <br />to Council's attention. <br /> <br /> Ms. Richards said Council would need to know the financial implications of <br />incre asing the income limits for real estate relief before taking action. <br /> <br />CONSENT AGENDA <br /> <br /> Mr. Schilling removed the ordinance granting a Telecom Franchise to Martha <br />Jefferson Hospital from the consent agenda. <br /> <br /> On motion by Mr. Lynch, seconded by Mr. Schillin g, the following consent <br />th <br />agenda items were approved by the following vote, with the minutes of June 16 <br />amended by Mr. Schilling.
