484 <br /> <br />said it is recommended that $150,000 out of the housing initiatives fund be appropriated <br />to PHA to target City residents who are earning 80% or less of the City's median income. <br />He noted that this is one of the priorities in the Housing Strategy. <br /> <br /> Responding to a question from Mr. Lynch, Mr. Tolbert said that approximately <br />$200,000 will remain in the housing initiatives fund after this appropriation is made. <br /> <br /> Mr. Caravati said his recollection was that when the transient lodging tax was <br />increased it was to be dedicated to this fund, but Mr. Tolbert said that was a suggestion <br />but it was never committed to. <br /> <br /> On motion by Mr. Caravati, seconded by Ms. Hamilton, the $150,000 <br />appropriation to Piedmont Housing Alliance's Housing Trust Fund was offered and <br />carried over to the next meeting for consideration. <br /> <br />RESOLUTION: AMENDING CITY MANAGER'S EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT <br /> <br /> Mr. Schilling said he asked that this item be removed from the Consent Agenda <br />because he does not think the title was indicative of what we are doing. He said the <br />proposal is to increase the City Manager's salary by 4% retroactive to July 1, 2005. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown said the reason it is retroactive is that the City Manager's evaluation is <br />done after July 1, which is the time that other City employees received salary increase for <br />the same amount. <br /> <br /> On motion by Mr. Caravati, seconded by Mr. Lynch, the Resolution Amending <br />the City Manager's Employment Agreement was approved by the following vote. Ayes: <br />Dr. Brown, Mr. Caravati, Ms. Hamilton, Mr. Lynch, Mr. Schilling. Noes: None. <br /> <br /> BE IT RESOLVED by the Council for the City of Charlottesville that the <br />existing Employment Agreement between the City of Charlottesville and City Manager <br />Gary O'Connell, dated November 1, 2001 is hereby amended as follows: <br /> <br />Section 6 of the Agreement entitled "Salary" is amended to increase the base <br />annual salary of the City Manager by 4 %, effective July 1, 2005. <br /> <br />All other terms and conditions in the Employment Agreement not inconsistent <br />with this Resolution shall remain in full force and effect. The Mayor is <br />authorized to execute a revised version of the Agreement incorporating the <br />changes referenced in this Resolution. <br /> <br />RESOLUTION: CHANGE IN FISCAL AGENT STATUS FOR REGION TEN <br />COMMUNITY SERVICES BOARD <br /> <br /> Mr. Caravati said he wants to defer this item to a January meeting for the reasons <br />he alluded to earlier in the meeting. He said Region Ten has been aggressively <br />expanding its real estate portfolio, including a new corporate headquarters. He said he <br />has serious concerns about these purchases. He said he does not think Region Ten's <br />financial structure is transparent. He said this should be looked at during the budget <br />review process. He said it is not clear they are able to afford these purchases. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown suggested that a representative of Region Ten attend the meeting when <br />the matter is discussed again. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch said he thinks Mr. Caravati has a legitimate issue, but he is not sure <br />what that has to do with this resolution. <br /> <br /> Mr. Caravati said if Council supports the resolution we will be losing oversight of <br />their internal workings. <br /> <br />The resolution was deferred until January. <br /> <br /> <br />
