<br />RESOLUTION
<br />: AUTHORIZING $5,000 FOR THE CHS ORCHESTRA
<br />
<br /> Dr. Brown said that the Charlottesville High School Orchestra has kicked off its
<br />funding raising for their spring trip to London. He said there is now a more diverse
<br />orchestra and as a result, more scholarship needs. He proposed that Council donate
<br />$5,000 to be used for scholarships.
<br />
<br /> Mr. Lynch made a substitute motion to provide funding in return for an equivalent
<br />amount of CDs.
<br />
<br /> Ms. Hamilton said she has no objections and feels it is a worthy cause. She said
<br />she thinks it would be appropriate to take the funds out of the City’s art fund.
<br />
<br /> Mr. Norris supported Ms. Hamilton’s comments, and also supported asking for
<br />CDs.
<br />
<br /> Dr. Brown said he would not want them to have to purchase more CDs to supply
<br />them to Council.
<br />
<br /> Ms. Hamilton made a motion to donate $5,000 to the scholarship fund for the
<br />CHS orchestra out of the arts fund, and request, if possible, that the Orchestra supply the
<br />City with a significant number of CDs.
<br />
<br /> Mr. Norris seconded the motion and it was approved by the following vote. Ayes:
<br />Dr. Brown, Ms. Hamilton, Mr. Lynch, Mr. Norris, Mr. Taliaferro. Noes: None.
<br />
<br /> Dr. Brown presented suggestions for appointments to a Street Car Task Force and
<br />the charge of studying the feasibility, desirability and implementation of a streetcar
<br />system in the City of Charlottesville. He said no City funds will be required.
<br />
<br /> On motion by Mr. Norris, seconded by Mr. Lynch, the following members and
<br />charge of the Street Car Task Force were approved by the following vote. Ayes: Dr.
<br />Brown, Ms. Hamilton, Mr. Lynch, Mr. Norris, Mr. Taliaferro. Noes: None.
