150 On motion by Mr. Toscano, seconded by Mr. Vandever, Council unanimously approved the resolution authorizing the replacement housing proposal as explained by Mr. Hendrix.

On motion by Ms. Waters, seconded by Ms. Slaughter, the appropriation authorizing a ~15,000 bond the the Assistant City Attorney was offered and carried over to the next meeting for consideration.

Ms. Bell stated that federal funds for the program have been cut substantially.

Edwards, Ms. Slaughter, Mr. Toscano, Mr. Vandever, Ms. Waters. Noes: None. BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Charlottesville, Virginia that the sum of $30,000 is hereby appropriated from the unappropriated balance of the General Fund as a loan to the Monticello Area Community Action Agency (MACAA), as start-up funds for the Summer Youth Employment and Training Program. This loan is conditioned upon MACAA's promise to repay the advance in its entirety on or before November 1, 1992, whether such repayment is effected from funds received from the MACAA contract with the Piedmont Job Training Administration or from some other source. Before the actual advance is made by the City, MACAA shall properly execute an appropriate note evidencing its indebtedness to the City in a form approved by the City Attorney and substantially like the attached sample. ORDINANCE: SOLID WASTE STICKER FEE (2nd reading) Ms. Linda Peacock, Budget Administrator, stated that reducing the fees for curbside pickup to 75 cents per bag would reduce the buffer to $34,000 and not reducing the dumpster fee would provide a $72,000 buffer. Ms. Peacock noted that requiring the dumpster users to pay a larger percentage of the cost in the fee would go against the agreement previously reached with the apartment managers. Ms. Slaughter stated that she woul'd vote against the ordinance, not because she opposed the sticker system, but because she wanted the fees changed.
