8 <br />the downtown business community. He said we should more fully support the Police <br />Department in the budget for hiring. <br /> <br /> Ms. Hamilton asked if it would be possible to craft an RFP that is flexible, would <br />not contain a room for monitoring, that would provide an incremental step. <br /> <br /> Chief Longo said that if Council is willing to allow staff to explore a more <br />flexible system to deploy as needed he is happy to do that and it is a compromise he is <br />willing to make. <br /> <br /> Mr. Norris said Ms. Hamilton’s suggestion is well taken. He said a flexible <br />camera system could be used in areas experiencing high crime to root out criminal <br />behavior. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch said he has no problem with a flexible system where data is stored <br />locally. He suggested that staff come back with a proposal. <br /> <br /> Mr. Taliaferro made a motion to allow an RFP for a non-centralized system, with <br />the proposals to be looked at by Council, and to look at the policy in the interim, and Mr. <br />Norris seconded the motion. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch said we need more community police, and need more involvement by <br />the police with kids. <br /> <br /> The RFP for a non-centralized system was approved by the following vote. Ayes: <br />Ms. Hamilton, Mr. Lynch, Mr. Norris, Mr. Taliaferro. Noes: Dr. Brown. <br /> <br /> Chief Longo said it has been a priority for the seven years he has been here to <br />infuse the department with a philosophy regarding community policing. He said it is <br />about problem solving. <br /> <br /> Ms. Hamilton said she has been really impressed with the police work with the <br />Housing Authority, and thinks the philosophy is working. <br /> <br />nd <br />APPROPRIATION <br />: YEAR END APPROPRIATION (2 reading) <br /> <br /> Mr. Bernard Wray, Director of Public Works, said that the auditor has adjusted <br />the surplus upward by $270,000 due to the recording method of PPTRA. Mr. Wray noted <br />that the resolution in Council’s packet targets $5 million for Smith Pool, and the <br />remainder to the CIP contingency account. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch said he appreciates the information provided by the Schools about <br />their technology request, and thinks they made a compelling argument for smartboards. <br />He suggested starting with 100 classrooms which would make it cheaper. <br /> <br /> Ms. Maria Lewis, Coordinator of Technology Integration for Charlottesville <br />Schools, said that a technology academy has been set up for teachers so that they are all <br />trained. <br /> <br /> Ms. Hamilton asked why not just have wireless if there is a question about <br />internet access. <br /> <br /> Mr. Jim Henderson, Assistant Superintendent for Administration, said that things <br />have always been done piecemeal in the Schools. He said another source has been found <br />for wireless and it as taken out of the request. <br /> <br /> Mr. Mark Leach, Network Systems Administrator for the Schools, that some <br />applications work wireless, but some need a wired connection. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch asked if it would affect the implementation strategy if the Schools got <br />the money now versus July 1, 2008, and Mr. Henderson said it could be implemented <br />earlier. <br /> <br />
