11 <br /> <br />local supplement for adult home care. Mr. Cox stated that <br />cuts beyond those proposed would actually cut people who are <br />currently receiving assistance. <br /> <br /> Ms. Waters expressed frustration with the costs passed <br />on to localities by the state, stressing that she felt the <br />programs were necessities not niceties and represented meager <br />basic survival dollars. Ms. Waters added that she was <br />reluctant to freeze the programs and would support strong <br />lobbying efforts with the state. <br /> <br /> Mr. Toscano stated that he agreed with Ms. Waters, but <br />felt it was unfair for the state to continue to put pressure <br />on localities to fund the programs. <br /> <br /> Ms. Waters stated that she realized that by delaying a <br />decision she was accepting the fact that a supplemental <br />appropriation may need to be made at a later date. <br /> <br /> Mr. Toscano requested that an update on the shortfall in <br />funding be given to Council in a month. <br /> <br /> Ms. Waters recommended that the state's failure to pay <br />their share of the new City Hall Annex be explored. <br /> <br /> Mr. Toscano stated that Council may want to consider <br />exploring the option of hiring an attorney on a contingency <br />basis to pursue the state's failure to pay for the Social <br />Services space. <br /> <br /> Ms. Waters requested that staff help develop a strategy <br />for lobbying the state with regard to funding for social <br />service programs. <br /> <br />STAFF REPORT: WEST MAIN STREET STUDY PROCESS <br /> <br /> Mr. George Ray, Director of Economic Development, and <br />Mr. Satyendra Huja, Director of Community Development, <br />presented the proposed planning and development process <br />recommended by staff for studying development of the West <br />Main Street Corridor: appointment of a steering committee to <br />draft preliminary goals and directions; hold a community <br />charrette to better define goals and future alternatives; <br />appointment of a task force to develop a plan outline and <br />work program; review of the plan by appropriate staff and <br />boards, work sessions and public hearings to be held by the <br />Planning Commission and Council, and a plan proposed to be <br />adopted in June of 1992. <br /> <br /> Ms. Waters stated that she felt the basic format <br />recommended was good, but favored adding an Albemarle <br />County representative to the Task Force. <br /> <br /> Mr. Toscano stated that he would also encourage <br />participation by a representative of the Social Development <br />Commission, perhaps on the Task Force. <br /> <br />APPROPRIATION: $3,866 - LITTER CONTROL GRANT (2nd reading) <br /> <br /> The $3,866 appropriation of the Litter Control grant <br />which was offered at the September 16th meeting was approved <br />by the following vote.
