8 <br /> Ms. Candace Maupin, 306 A Oak Street, spoke in support of QCC. She said her <br />children have been in the enrichment/learning programs through QCC. <br /> <br /> Mr. Michael Costanzo, 712 Lyons Avenue, said additional funding is needed from <br />the City and County for Region Ten’s Mohr Center. <br /> <br /> Mr. Dave Chapman, Commonwealth’s Attorney, spoke in favor of funding for the <br />Mohr Center. He asked Council to task staff to look at the numbers and see if it makes <br />financial sense. He said it also makes criminal justice sense. He said the Mohr Center is <br />one of few alternatives to jail. <br /> <br /> Mr. Peter Kleeman, 407 Hedge Street, asked if the Meadowcreek Parkway is fully <br />funded in the CIP. He said transportation items and how they all fit together need to be <br />more understandable to the public. <br /> <br /> As there were no further speakers, the public hearing was closed. <br /> <br /> Ms. Edwards said that agency funding will be discussed at the April 2 work <br />session. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown, referring to Mr. Pfaltz’s comment, said the salary increase shown in <br />the budget was for the current year. He acknowledged that it is confusing. <br /> <br /> Mr. O’Connell said there are no salary increases for City employees period. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown agreed that we should look at the agency review process, but he said it <br />is better than what we used to have. He said the composition of the review team and how <br />it is run can probably be improved. <br /> <br /> Mr. Taliaferro asked how much QCC is requesting. <br /> <br /> Mr. Norris said QCC has asked for $15,000 for their urban farm program. He <br />agreed that the current agency process is better than it used to be, but said he thinks it <br />needs continued improvement. He said the Real Dads program is the only program <br />helping fathers, and he does not think this is a good time to eliminate it. Referring to <br />comments made by Mr. Moore about how we found the cost savings, he said that the <br />major cuts were made in the CIP. He said he would like to see a cost benefit analysis of <br />the Mohr Center. <br /> <br /> Mr. Huja said it would be helpful to know the end product of the urban garden. <br /> <br /> Mr. Norris said we need to ask how we can help agencies, and are we <br />encouraging economy of scale and efficiency. <br /> <br />ND <br />PUBLIC HEARING/RESOLUTION <br />: LEASE OF 200 2 STREET, N.E.
