116 <br /> <br />regard.to the request by the Jefferson Area Board of Aging to <br />use the building, Ms. Berne stated that the Committee had <br />expressed concern about creating a separate, racially <br />segregated senior center, but recommended that the Council <br />address JABA's need for an improved site for its senior <br />nutrition program. Ms. Berne reviewed the report prepared <br />by the Committee which recommended that the 'Historical <br />Society be allowed to use the bUilding on the condition that <br />the following goals be met: society membership be expanded <br />to included a wider social, economic and racial array of <br />community members; a permanent memorial to Mr. McIntire be <br />established; there be both permanent and changing exhibits <br />free and accessible to the public; public lectures and live <br />oral histories be presented and an audio-visual room <br />established; programming and exhibits should ref!ect and <br />represent all facets of lifestyles, occupations, and cultures <br />in our community; extended weekend and evening hours be <br />established; the garden be restored and made accessible to <br />the public; and the Society continue to build upon the <br />relationships with local schools. <br /> <br /> Mr. Toscano asked how important future conditions placed <br />on the building when originally donated by Mr. McIntire had <br />been to the Committee and Ms. Berne stated that the Committee <br />was aware from historical information that the intent <br />appeared to.be to continue the use as a library building, but <br />the Committee did not consider it among its primary concerns. <br /> <br /> Mr. Toscano questioned how important the financial <br />capacity of the organization was deemed to be by the <br />Committee and Ms. Berne stated that the Committee had felt <br />the financial condition would not preclude further <br />discussion~ but did feel that capital expenditures did need <br />to be made and the organization should have some <br />responsibility for these expenses. <br /> <br /> Ms. Berne noted that the Committee had proposed a five <br />year time span for the Historical Society to meet conditions. <br /> <br /> Responding to a question from Ms. Slaughter, Mr. Hendrix <br />stated that staff were not prepared at this time to make a <br />formal report on the Carver nutrition program. <br /> <br /> Rev. Edwards stated that he would like to look at the <br />recommendation in a comprehensive way and determine whether <br />the Historical Society would be able to meet the conditions <br />of the Committee. <br /> <br /> Mr. Toscano stated that he would like to hear people <br />respond to the Committee's report. <br /> <br /> Ms. Waters stated that she felt two separate issues <br />remained on which Council needed to receive additional <br />information: an alternate or renovated site for the senior <br />nutrition center; and a response from the Historical.Society <br />with regard to the Committee's recommendation and conditions. <br /> <br /> It was agreed that the information would be placed on <br />Council's agenda in the near future. <br /> <br />Rev. Edwards thanked the Committee for their efforts. <br /> <br />RESOLUTION: CHANGING NAME OF CA TECH CENTER BOARD <br /> <br /> Mr. Hendrix stated that the resolution would authorize <br />the change of the Charlottesville-Albemarle Technical <br />Education Center Joint Committee to the Center Board. <br /> <br /> On motion by Ms. Waters, seconded by Ms. Slaughter, the <br />resolution changing the name of the Charlottesville-Albemarle <br />Technical Education Center Board was unanimously approved by <br />Council. <br /> <br /> <br />
