13 Ms: Daugherty recommended that the resolution be amended to request that the facility be a community assessment center. Ms. Slaughter said she supports the resolution, and recommended that Council follow-up with a discussion about alternatives and the possibility of building a facility with fewer beds. Ms. Peacock said that State Board may look favorably on the idea of a multi-use facility. It was agreed that a meeting would be held with juvenile caregivers prior to Council making a final decision on whether or not to build a facility. Mr. Toscano said he has concerns about the cost, but is willing to approve the resolution, amended to read "as part of a multi-use facility," conditional on reaching agreement on a funding formula. Ms. Richards said she does not presently feel that she can support the resolution because she does not know the affect on the capital budget. Ms. Richards said she wants to know what information will be provided to help Council make a decision later, what would an assessment center entail, what services would be available to youth, and what are alternatives to such a facility. Ms. Daugherty said she feels more information on current conditions needs to be proVided to Councilors so they will understand the seriousness of the situation. Ms. Daugherty favored including Mr. Toscano's amendment. Mr. Cox said he would like more information on the community assessment component and how it would reduce juvenile criminal rates. Mr. Cox said he cannot support the resolution based on the worse case scenario, and thinks the projected tragic trend can be changed. Mr. Cox said he feels alternatives should be studied before taking this step. Mr. Toscano made a motion to approve the resolution, adding "as part of a multi-use assessment and post-dispositional center," with the understanding that an outstanding issues is the funding formula between the City and County. Ms. Daugherty seconded the motion, and the resolution was approved by the following vote. Ayes: Ms. Daugherty, Ms. Slaughter, Mr. Toscano. Noes: Mr. Cox and Ms. Richards.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE ITRESOLVED by the City Council of Charlottesville, Virginia that it does hereby express its intent to proceed with the construction of a juvenile detention facility as part of a multi-use assessment and post-dispositional center, and to seek the maximum amount of capital funding reimbursement from the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice.
