2 Mr. Hunter Deeley, 1027 Wertland Street, a University of Virginia student, invited Council and the public to a Mid-Autumn Carnival on September 15 in Madison Bowl. He said the purpose of the carnival is to integrate the Charlottesville and University communities. Ms. Colette Hall, 101 Robertson Lane, expressed concern with the appropriation of over $3 million on the Council agenda. She said the fact that these are grant funds is not a true indication of the money source since some matching funds are required. She said the City cannot sustain this level of funding. COUNCIL RESPONSES TO MATTERS BY THE PUBLIC Mr. Lynch said that the request that Charlottesville become a smoke-free city is a widely shared request, and he thinks we should take the request seriously and should work with Albemarle County on requesting appropriate State legislation. Mr. Taliaferro said he would like to note that the complaint by a citizen at the th August 6 Council meeting about the Police Department was unfounded. Dr. Brown agreed about the request for legislation for a smoke free ordinance, and said he thinks the Governor intends to continue to push for a State wide ban. Dr. Brown thanked the University students for getting involved in the community. CONSENT AGENDA On motion by Ms. Hamilton, seconded by Mr. Norris, the following consent agenda items were approved by the following vote. Ayes: Dr. Brown, Ms. Hamilton, Mr. Lynch, Mr. Norris, Mr. Taliaferro. Noes: None. Ms. Hamilton commended the Quality Community Council for their rainwater harvesting project proposal associated with their urban farm. She said it has been tremendously successful and she is proud of their efforts. a.
