13 <br /> Mr. Overton McGee, Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity, thanked <br />Council for their support of affordable housing. He said the Task Force and staff are to <br />be commended for the speed of their recommendation. <br /> <br /> Mr. Ernie Reed, 610 Farish Avenue, expressed concern about the VDOT style <br />public hearing held on the 250/McIntire Road interchange. He said the public was only <br />allowed to speak to a stenographer and the comments have not been made available to the <br />public. He asked Council to ask VDOT to hold a traditional style public hearing. <br /> <br /> Ms. Colette Hall, 101 Robertson Lane, asked if someone needs to call 911 in the <br />future can they request a free versus a fee service. Ms. Hall asked that comments be <br />made available from Wise and Louisa Counties regarding the Clean Energy resolution <br />and copies of the e-mails were given to her. Ms. Hall thanked Mr. Lynch and Ms. <br />Hamilton for their service on Council, especially Mr. Lynch for his fiscal responsibility. <br /> <br />OTHER BUSINESS <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch said he supports Dr. Mooney’s suggestion about the South Fork <br />reservoir. He said we ultimately have to solve the problem. <br /> <br /> Mr. Norris said more information has been requested regarding the Reservoir. <br /> <br /> Mr. O’Connell said that Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority is looking at long <br />term maintenance of the Reservoir. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown said Dr. Mooney made a good suggestion, but he is not sure it is the <br />right suggestion. He said the County is a major player and we should discuss the <br />appropriate structure for a group with the Board of Supervisors. <br /> <br /> Mr. Norris noted that there are also a number of local groups that should be <br />involved. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown said that RWSA could sponsor a community event <br /> <br /> Mr. Norris said that RWSA seems to have made up its mind. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown said RWSA has agreed to the water supply plan, but an unanswered <br />question is whether the community wants to invest in the South Fork Reservoir. <br /> <br /> Mr. Norris said it is vitally important to engage the County. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown suggested having a conservation with RWSA and members of the <br />Board of Supervisors and bring it up again at a future meeting. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown said that Mr. Reed makes a good point about the VDOT public <br />hearing, and he asked the City Manager to obtain and make available the public <br />comments. <br /> <br /> Mr. Taliaferro asked if we can ask VDOT to do an open public hearing. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown said VDOT can be asked to do a meeting that has an informative phase <br />and then an open public hearing. <br /> <br /> The meeting was adjourned. <br /> <br />______________________________ ______________________________ <br />President Clerk <br />
