14 <br /> Mr. Richard Lloyd, resident of Albemarle County, said there is a controversy <br />about the safe yield of the Moorman’s River. He said there are no technical members on <br />the dredging task force. <br /> <br /> Mr. Norris said that the scope of work is a work in progress, and the County has <br />to respond to it. He said we have made it very clear that we all want better information. <br />He said we also made clear that the dredging task force is not responsible for the water <br />supply plan. <br /> <br /> Mr. Norris asked if exceptions could be made in the idling policy since the <br />ordinance is based on State law. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brown said the ordinance parrots the enabling legislation and he would have <br />concerns about deviating from it as it needs to be consistent with the State. <br /> <br /> Mr. Geoff said that when a bus is turned off it take six to eight minutes after it is <br />restarted to get air up for the brakes. <br /> <br /> Mr. Huja suggested that Mr. Geoff follow up with the City Attorney. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown said he does not find the arguments by Mr. Geoff particularly <br />persuasive. He suggested getting more examples of what would make it a better policy <br />and seeking the necessary legislation. He said we should not just let buses idle. He <br />suggested that we also talk with other bus operators. <br /> <br /> Mr. Norris said he would like to think we could enact an ordinance less strict than <br />what State law allows. <br /> <br /> The meeting was adjourned. <br /> <br />______________________________ _____________________________ <br />President Clerk <br />
