2 <br /> <br /> Ms. Cynthia Nelf, 3767 Pritchett Lane, said she is a long-time advocate for gays <br />and lesbians and supports the nondiscrimination resolution. <br /> <br /> Mr. John Bowman, 1027 Carlton Avenue said he has spent many days at McIntire <br />Park and thinks it would be useful to have creative planning regarding the YMCA and <br />Meadowcreek Parkway. <br /> <br />COUNCIL RESPONSES TO MATTERS BY THE PUBLIC <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown said he appreciates the support for the nondiscrimination resolution. <br />He noted that Governor Kaine tried to introduce this by executive order but the Attorney <br />General said he could not do that. He said Delegate Toscano introduced such a bill and it <br />was killed in committee. He said he is glad it is on the agenda as it is important. <br /> <br /> Mr. Huja asked staff to follow-up on Ms. Seaman’s requests. <br /> <br /> Mr. Taliaferro said it appears that in spirit someone should meet with Mr. <br />Moore’s group. He said he hopes the City can take a look at why we are still in the solid <br />waste business. <br /> <br /> Ms. Edwards echoed Mr. Taliaferro’s comments about Mr. Moore’s comments. <br />She asked about the date for the next master plan process. She thanked Mr. Long for <br />reminding us what is important. She said the resolution presented by Ms. Seaman is well <br />thought out. She encouraged residents to participate in upcoming public housing <br />meetings. <br /> <br /> Mr. Norris said he thinks the two projects in the Greenbrier neighborhood should <br />be coordinated as much as possible. He echoed Ms. Edwards about Mr. Long’s <br />comments, but noted that it is a challenge as the City has no authority to do what Mr. <br />Long suggested. He said the City can provide stronger incentives to developers. <br />Regarding comments made by Mr. Moore’s he said that as he understands it, the initial <br />request to the Parks and Recreation Committee was for a broad ranging discussion about <br />planning, and if the pitch had just been about golf he may have been allowed to meet with <br />the Committee. He said he is willing to personally meet with the golf group and Brian <br />Daly. <br /> <br />CONSENT AGENDA <br /> <br /> Mr. Huja asked that the nondiscrimination resolution be considered separately <br />from the consent agenda. <br /> <br /> On motion by Dr. Brown, seconded by Mr. Taliaferro, the following consent <br />agenda items were approved by the following vote. Ayes: Dr. Brown, Ms. Edwards, Mr. <br />Huja, Mr. Norris, Mr. Taliaferro.
