10 Mr. Tolbert said development issues had to be worked through on 9th/10th Street but they have been resolved and the project is moving forward. He said PHA has added staff to help. He said well over half of their total projects have been built. Mr. O'Connell said he will get a status report for Council. Responding to a question from Ms. Hamilton, Mr. Tolbert said the houses to be demolished have been condemned or have had continual problems and are beyond rehabilitation. Mr. Schilling said he has documentation to share. He said in looking at information on the various properties he is bothered by the discrepancies in the assessments and the price paid. He said they are under assessed cumulatively by $112,000, and asked why it is this far off. If not this far off, he asked why are we paying the proposed price for the properties. He said he cannot support the proposal. He said there are inconsistencies in where properties are assessed in the City. Mr. Lynch agreed there are underassessment in this neighborhood. Ms. Hamilton agreed there are consistent under assessments in African American neighborhoods, and feels there are issues that need to be addressed. Mr. Lynch said the assessment should be looked at to see why they are so low. He said he would like PHA to come before Council before the project is approved. He said he is sensitive to razing houses because it is determined not to be feasible to rehabilitate them. He said he has received complaints from neighbors that houses have been demolished and no houses has been built back yet. He said he would like to see a better time line. Mr. Caravati said he likes the project, but has concerns. He said at no time should the houses sell to someone with an income above 57.6% of the Charlottesville median, and two should be sold to those with less than 50% of the median. He said he would like to put a three year completion date on the project from the date money is given to PHA. He said he would like to see a profit mechanism in writing and approved priority to a final agreement by staff and Council. Mr. Caravati made a motion to approve the proposal subject to these conditions. Dr. Brown said he agrees with many of Mr. Caravati's points, but before placing conditions on the level of affordability he would like to have PHA here to respond. Dr. Brown suggested that the matter be put off until the next meeting. Mr. Caravati withdrew his motion. On motion by Mr. Lynch, seconded by Mr. Caravati, the matter was tabled until the December 6th meeting. RESOLUTION: SUPPORT REPEAL OF BAN ON SAME-SEX CIVIL UNIONS Mr. Caravati said that a significant number of Charlottesville residents are affected by the State law banning same sex civil unions and he was approached by many people asking him to support a resolution supporting it repeal. Mr. Caravati made a motion to approve the resolution, with two changes to the resolution presented to Council: adding "invalidation of" in paragraph nine and eliminating the paragraph referring to "educated and enlightened." Mr. Caravati said that while he did not read that paragraph in the same way that Dr. Bare interpreted it, he thinks it should be struck. Mr. Lynch seconded the motion. Ms. Hamilton thanked people for their e-mails and phone calls. She said she regrets the remarks made in the newspaper by a Councilor, not only because they were hurtful, but because they were beside the point. She said she does not feel this is a matter of religion, but one of democracy, the Constitution, equal protection under the law, and
