Mr. Brown said he thinks <br />the city has potential that the Council does not seem to see. Mr. Brown suggested that <br />Council consider offering school choice and tax cuts. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tom Hill, Rugby Road, also referring to the reversion presentation, said that he <br />feels the middle class moved itself out of Charlottesville and Council chose to fund the <br />service demands. <br /> <br /> Mr. Eric Strespack, 113 Sturbridge Road in Albemarle County, said he thinks term <br />limits for Council is a good idea. <br /> <br /> Mr. Eugene Williams of Ridge Street, referring to the reversion presentation, said that <br />perhaps the city has been moving in reverse for the last two decades and asked that hard <br />figxtres be presented rather than percentages. Regarding PVCC's neighborhood college <br />proposed for Jefferson School, Mr. Williams said he feels the clock is being turned back to <br />1896, with separate but equal facilities. Mr. Williams said he respects the PVCC President, <br />but opposes using the Jefferson School since it has no columns, no name, and no landscaping. <br />Mr. Williams said he does not believe the surrounding neighborhood has been involved in the <br />decision, and blacks are always getting leftovers. <br /> <br />OTHER BUSINESS <br /> <br /> Mr. Toscano announced the open house on city and sChoOl initiatives scheduled for <br />December 7th. <br /> <br /> The meeting was adjourned. <br />President <br /> <br />C1 ' <br /> <br /> <br />
