PUBLIC Mr. Frank Bailiff, Southern Development, referring to comments made earlier in the meeting about communication, said that City staffwere very proactive with the neighborhood on one of his projects, initiating a meeting and were very helpful. He said he thinks there is increased public awareness of projects. OTHER BUSINESS Mr. Caravati made a motion to make an appointment to the Emergency Medical Services Council, and Mr. Lynch seconded the motion. Mr. Schilling asked that the issue be brought back at the next meeting as he did not have the information. Mr. Caravati called the question. Mr. Schilling offered a substitute motion to table the appointment until the next meeting, Dr. Brown seconded the motion, and the appointment was deferred by the following vote. Ayes: Dr. Brown, Ms. Hamilton, Mr. Lynch, Mr. Schilling. Noes: Mr. Caravati. Ms. Hamilton said she would recommend that Councilors who serve on boards and commissions periodically give a report at Council meetings. She said she serves on the Housing Authority, which is under new leadership. She said the Authority is concerned about its image from past regimes and would like a formal opportunity to be recognized. Ms. Hamilton referred to a statement made in the appendices of the Elections Study Task Force about one Councilor working harder than others, and she said would like to remove that sort of comment from the realm. She said she would like to have Councilors report on what they are doing in a formal way. Mr. Lynch said he thinks that is a good idea and a time could be added at the end of the meeting for at least those items of interest. Mr. Caravati said he agrees, but said there is also an issue of time, and suggested that the Mayor and City Manager discuss the issue further. Dr. Brown said he will discuss the issue with the City Manager, but suggested that the Housing Authority make a formal report at an upcoming meeting. Mr. Lynch said he would also like to schedule something for the MPO. Mr. Caravati suggested that the Council weigh in about the No Child Left Behind legislation and TransDominion Express letter at the next meeting. The meeting was adjourned. President Clerk
