251 <br /> <br />OTHER BUSINESS <br /> <br /> Ms. Slaughter urged Councilors to visit the Saturday City Market, noting that it is <br />important to keep the Market under consideration as the transit center is discussed. <br /> <br /> Responding to a question from Ms. Slaughter, Mr. O'Connell stated that the bike lane <br />report will be sent to Council in the near future. <br /> <br /> Mr. Toscano said that he hopes people do not get the impression that Council is trying <br />to move the City Market away from the downtown area, adding that the discussions about <br />the transit center and City Market will be a public process. <br /> <br /> Mr. Toscano announced the Open House on the City's Technology and <br />Communications Strategies will be held on October 5th, at which time the City's Home Page <br />will be unveiled. <br /> <br /> On motion by Rev. Edwards, seconded by Ms. Slaughter, Council unanimously voted <br />to meet in executive session for the purpose of appointing members to various City boards or <br />agencies, and discussion of a personnel matter, as authorized by Section 2.1-344(A)(1) of the <br />Virginia Code; and for the purpose of consultation with legal counsel and briefings by staff <br />members, consultants or attorneys, pertaining to probable litigation, or other specific legal <br />matters requiring the provision of legal advice by counsel, as authorized by Section <br />2.1-344(A)(7) of the Virginia Code. The substance of the matters to be discussed can <br />reasonably be identified as follows: changes in the form of local government structure, and <br />related alternatives. An executive session on this subject is also authorized by Section 15.1- <br />945.7(D) of the Virginia Code. <br /> <br /> Council reconvened in open session and, on motion by Ms. Slaughter, seconded by <br />Rev. Edwards, certified that, to the best of each member's knowledge, (i) only public <br />business matters lawfully exempted from open meeting requirements by Virginia law were <br />discussed in the executive meeting to which this certification resolution applies, and (ii) only <br />such public business matters as were identified in the motion convening the executive meeting <br />were heard, discussed or considered by the Council. <br /> <br />APPOINTMENT: CDBG TASK FORCE <br /> <br /> On motion by Rev.
