Acceptance of the $1,000,000 from the Virginia Department of Transportation Revenue Sharing Program is subject to financial participation by Albemarle County. PUBLIC There were no matters by the public. OTHER BUSINESS Mr. O’Connell said that Council will be holding work sessions on their visions th themes on December 14 and 18. He noted that the December 18 meeting will be a work session rather than a regular meeting. Dr. Brown asked that staff look at the request by the Lewis and Clark Exploratory Committee that Council support their SAFTEA grant application. He said his only concern is that it could impact a City grant for a higher priority project. He said if there is no conflict then he would support putting it on the consent agenda for December 18. Mr. Lynch said there are lots of places we could look at using the SAFTEA grant. Ms. Hamilton said the Biscuit Run project discussion shows that so much is done in a piecemeal fashion. She said we should talk with Albemarle County about their plans for developments and road networks.
