42 RELATING TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PLANNING" (2nd reading) PUBLIC There were no matters by the public. OTHER BUSINESS Ms. Daugherty congratulated Ms. Richards on her election as Second 'Vice President of the Virginia Transit Association. Ms. Richards said she would like to see a more balanced transportation system, with more money for public transportation rather than such a large percentage going toward new road construction. Responding to a question from Mr. Cox, Mr. Leon Churchill, Assistant City Manager, said that he anticipated receiving the voting representation under reversion report this week.
