Brown stated that the next step in <br />the process will be to take the plans for the skating rink to the Board of Architectural <br />Review. <br /> <br /> Mr. Toscano explained that the proposal is to sell the property for $10,000 and for <br />"Charlottesville 2000" to construct $82,800 in improvements offsite, on public property, and <br />to maintain these improvements for a period of two years. <br /> <br /> Ms. Daugherty stated that she feels the off-site improvements are a significant part of <br />the deal and bring the sales price to over $15 a square foot. <br /> <br /> Mr. Toscano noted that the Department of Economic Development has estimated <br />significant revenue from real estate and personal property taxes and retail sales for the skating <br />rink. Mr. Toscano stated that the proposed skating rink is the type of development <br />downtown for which Council has advocated. Mr. Toscano added that recent surveys have <br />shown tremendous support in the community for the skating rink. <br /> <br /> Ms. Daugherty stated that she thinks the skating rink will also provide a good activity <br />for youth in the community. <br /> <br /> On motion by Ms. Daugherty, seconded by Ms. Slaughter, the ordinance conveying <br />property on the downtown mall was offered. <br /> <br /> Because of the developer's desire not to have major construction occurring during the <br />Christmas shopping season that would disrupt downtown, and the cancellation of the June <br />19th Council meeting, Ms. Daugherty made a motion to suspend the rules to allow the <br />ordinance to be approved in one reading. Mr. Vandever seconded the motion and the rules <br />were unanimously suspended. <br /> <br /> The ordinance entitled "AN ORDINANCE TO AUTHORIZE THE CON~q~YANCE <br />OF PROPERTY LOCATED ON WEST MAIN STREET TO CHARLOTTESVILLE 2000, <br /> <br /> <br />
