by Council. <br /> <br />RESOLUTION: <br /> <br />AUTHORITY <br /> <br />APPROVING ORGANIZATIONAL AGREEMENT FOR SOLID WASTE <br /> <br /> Ms. Slaughter stated that she felt it was important to <br />include the hierarchy of waste management in the agreement <br />and recommended that an advisory committee member be a <br />non-voting member of the Authority and that a regional <br />representative or Thomas Jefferson Planning District <br />representative serve on the advisory committee. <br /> <br /> Ms. Waters stated that she would also favor including a <br />statement regarding open meetings, requiring public hearings <br />for major decisions, making the advisory committee role <br />similar to that of the Planning Commission and either a 4/5 <br />or 3/5 voting requirement. Ms. Waters recommended that the <br />chairman of the advisory committee be the non-voting member <br />on the Authority. <br /> <br /> Ms. Slaughter recommended that a general procedure for <br />selecting the chair of the Authority be established, perhaps <br />having each locality submit two names for consideration. <br /> <br /> Mr. Toscano stated that he favored having one or two <br />members of the advisory committee serve as non-voting members <br />on the Authority. <br /> <br /> Deleting Section 4.3 of the agreement, concerning <br />facilities built at the request of only one locality, was <br />discussed, but no agreement was reached. <br /> <br /> Mr. Fred Landis, attorney for the Rivanna Water and <br />Sewer Authority, stated that the Agreement was intended to be <br />an outline, not a day-to-day operating agreement and he <br />recommended against making the agreement too specific. Mr. <br />Landis emphasized that the structure and security of the <br />Authority would be necessary for future bond financing. <br /> <br /> It was agreed that the Council would ask the Board of <br />Supervisors to delay consideration of the Organizational <br />Agreement until areas of concern could be discussed further. <br /> <br />PUBLIC HEARING: EXPANDING MEMBERSHIP OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY <br /> <br /> Ms. Priscilla Whiting of 402 10 1/2 Street, supported <br />filling the two additional positions on the Housing Authority <br />with residents of public housing because she felt the'present~ <br />Authority members represent the City at large. Ms. Whiting <br />also recommended that public housing residents have some <br />input into the choice of the members. <br /> <br /> Mr. Arthur Tinsley stated that he felt there needed to <br />be more cohesiveness on the Housing Authority and someone who <br />understands the problems of public housing, but did not think <br />the new members should be chosen on the basis of a petition. <br />Mr. Tinsley added that he felt there should be more than two <br />residents on the Authority. <br /> <br /> Ms. Joy Johnson stated that she was speaking on behalf <br />of the Westhaven community and other public housing sites <br />and supported two residents of public housing for the two new <br />positions, preferably one of them being elderly. <br /> <br /> As there were no other speakers the public hearing was <br />closed. <br /> <br /> Rev. Edwards stated that he had received a letter from <br />the Martha Jefferson Neighborhood Association supporting <br />filling the two seats with public housing residents. <br /> <br /> Ms. Waters made a motion that the Council advertise and <br />fill the two positions on the Housing Authority with <br /> <br /> <br />
