2 <br /> Dr. Brown said the Resolution Authorizing a Settlement of the 800 MHZ Contract <br />Dispute has been added to the consent agenda. <br /> <br /> Mr. Craig Brown, City Attorney, explained that the City, U. Va. and Albemarle <br />County contracted to purchase a public safety radio system. He said money was retained <br />due to delays. He said a proposed agreement has been reached that allows the <br />Emergency Communications Center to retain $400,000, and Motorola will provide three <br />categories of equipment. He said the agreement has been endorsed by Albemarle <br />County, U. Va. and the ECC Management Board. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch said he has concerns about the Resolution Supporting the SAFTEA <br />Grant for the Lewis & Clark Exploratory Center, but because the application is due on <br />nd <br />December 22, it was agreed that it would be discussed at this meeting. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch said he has asked for information on City grant requests. He said his <br />concern is that there is the potential for the Lewis and Clark project to go beyond a single <br />year project, and he wants to make sure if we support their application it is clear that it is <br />a one year deal. He said he is also concerned that this is the only project for the City, and <br />is disappointed that there is no other City project. <br /> <br /> Mr. Norris said he shares the concern and asked for information on competing <br />projects. <br /> <br /> Mr. O’Connell said the City has no projects. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch said we need to be explicit that our support is a one time deal. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown said he is comfortable with that, and if there is another application next <br />year, Council will have the opportunity to oppose or support it. <br /> <br /> Ms. Hamilton said there is nothing in the proposed resolution to prevent Council <br />from doing that. <br /> Mr. Taliaferro agreed. <br /> <br /> On motion by Mr. Lynch, seconded by Ms. Hamilton, the following consent <br />agenda items were approved by the following vote. Ayes: Dr. Brown, Ms. Hamilton, <br />Mr. Lynch, Mr. Norris, Mr. Taliaferro. Noes: None. <br /> <br />a.
