<br /> 10 <br /> Mr. Norris agreed with Dr. Brown and said we need to follow up on how to <br />engage with the long time residents and find out what kind of financial benefits there <br />would be for the entire neighborhood. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tolbert suggested moving the public meeting to Buford School which would <br />keep it in the neighborhood. He suggested taking it back to Council after we get the <br />written report and having a meeting that would be two parts: a staff information piece <br />followed by a Council public hearing. <br /> <br />PUBLIC <br /> <br /> Mr. Peter Kleeman, 407 Hedge Street, said it has been very difficult to get <br />materials for the 250 Interchange Committee meetings from staff. He recommended that <br />Council adopt a policy that as a project moves forward an easy mechanism should be <br />established to provide information to a contact list as it becomes available. <br /> <br /> Ms. Victoria Denham, E. Market Street, said that older residents in Woolen Mills <br />are really excited about the prospect of being designated an historic district. She said it is <br />really important for the neighborhood to choose whether they become a local or <br />conservation district. <br /> <br /> Mr. Bill Emory, E. Market Street, said that neighborhood interest in an historic <br />district is important, and his neighborhood is eager for such designation. He said the <br />Woolen Mills has a story to tell and is vulnerable to development. <br /> <br /> Ms. Carla Manno, 324 7 ½ Street, said she appreciates that City staff and Ms. <br />Scala are committed professionals. She said there is no cohesive plan for Fifeville. She <br />said R-1A zoning protects the Fife neighborhood. <br /> <br />OTHER BUSINESS <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Norris asked staff to look into whether an e-mail with information on projects <br />can be done. <br /> <br />RESOLUTION <br />: WORKERS’ COMPENSATION SETTLEMENT <br /> <br />Mr. Brown said that a City employee was injured and was offered a proposed <br />settlement of $50,000. He said the employee brought suit against a third party. He said <br />the resolution would approve the $50,000 settlement, contingent on the City’s receipt of <br />$32,800.26 from the third party. <br /> <br />On motion by Mr. Norris, seconded by Mr. Lynch, the Resolution Approving a <br />Settlement of a Workers’ Compensation Subrogation Claim was approved by the <br />following vote. Ayes: Dr. Brown, Mr. Lynch, Mr. Norris, Mr. Taliaferro.
