In <br />conjunction with monthly breast se!f-examination and regular clinical breast examination, <br />mammography can help to discover breast cancer early, when the chances for successful <br />treatment area best. <br /> <br /> NOW~ THEREFORE, we, the City Council of the City of Char!ottesvil!e, do hereby <br />proclaim October !997 as BREAST C.A_NCER AWARE~NESS MONTH, and urge all <br />women in Charlottesville to learn about early detection guidelines and to check with their <br />doctors about whether to get a mammogram. We urge each and every resident of <br />Charlottesville to encourage the women they care about to practice breast cancer early <br />detection. <br /> <br />CONSENT AGENDA <br /> <br /> Regarding the sale of personal property at the District Home, Ms. Peacock explained <br />that the facility is a nursing and adult care facility and, following a consultant's study, it has <br />been concluded that it would be better to privatize the operation. A private provider has <br />proposed to buy the personal property from the existing facility and build a replacement <br />facility. <br /> <br /> Mr. Robert Cox, Director of Social Services, explained that the City has four people in <br />the nursing home, with two being in_ adult care. Mr. Cox continued that no one has been <br />placed in the facility for eight years except on a temporary basis, and k has been realized for a <br />long time that a change needed to be made as there are much better facilities available that <br />cost less. <br /> <br /> On motion by Mr. Toscano, seconded by Ms. Daugherty, the following consen_t agenda <br />items were unanimously approved. <br /> <br /> <br />
