38 <br /> <br />send a clear message to the arts community that art will be <br />encouraged and supported. <br /> <br /> Council unanimously voted to approve the proposal for <br />art for the City Hall Annex as recommended by the Urban <br />Design Committee. <br /> <br />RESOLUTION: <br /> <br />FOUNDATION <br /> <br />AMENDING CONTRACT WITH THE CHARLOTTESVILLE DOWNTOWN <br /> <br /> Mr.~Hendrix stated that Council was being asked to <br />clarify the contract between the Charlottesville Industrial <br />Development Authority and the Charlottesville Downtown <br />Foundation to add "gross operating revenues," including <br />revenues from special events, as a match for City funds. <br /> <br /> Ms. Bonnie Smith, President of the Charlottesville <br />Downtown Foundation, stated that "Fridays after Five" is <br />CDF's largest special event and explained that matching funds <br />to date have only been generated from membership dues. Ms. <br />Smith continued that CDF remains a little shy of providing <br />sufficient matching funds to bring down all of the City funds <br />approved by Council. <br /> <br /> Ms. Waters congratulated CDF for the success of the <br />"Tiger Fry" held prior to the football game with Clemson. <br /> <br /> Mr. Vandever questioned how the City assures that the <br />director of CDF spends 70% of his time recruiting for retail <br />business and noted concern about the lack of CDF members and <br />the continuing financial vitality of CDF. <br /> <br /> Rev. Edwards requested that a report be provided to <br />Council on the status of recruitment and activities of the <br />director for CDF. <br /> <br /> Mr. Gary O'Connell, Deputy City Manager, stated that the <br />Foundation has asked to make a presentation to Council at the <br />October 15th meeting. <br /> <br /> On motion by Ms. Waters, seconded by Mr. Vandever, the <br />resolution approving the amendment~to the contract between <br />the Charlottesville Downtown Foundation and the <br />Charlottesville Industrial Development Authority was <br />unanimously approved by Council. <br /> <br />RESOLUTION: CHARLOTTESVILLE-ALBEMARLE CHILDREN AND YOUTH COMMISSION <br /> <br /> Mr. Louie Chapman, Assistant City Manager, provided an <br />overview of the agreement establishing the Charlottesville- <br />Albemarle Children and Youth (CACY) Commission. Mr. Chapman <br />explained that the Commission would consist of thirteen <br />members appointed by and advisory to the City Council and <br />Albemarle County Board of Supervisors which would oversee a <br />continuum of youth services. Mr. Chapman continued that the <br />Youth Service Center would be reorganized under this <br />agreement and the new director would report to the Assistant <br />City Manager. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ariel Papovich, a member of the Youth CommissiOn, <br />stated that she felt that the recommendation that the CACY <br />Commission report to the Social Development Commission would <br />dilute the community and grassroots efforts and suggested <br />that the Commission evaluate funding requests and make <br />recommendations directly to City Council. <br /> <br /> Ms. Slaughter recommended the following addendum to the <br />agreement: 1) CACY Commission would review all children and <br />youth programs and make programmatic and budget <br />recommendations (including not only private agency programs <br />but also other youth programs within City government not <br />presently reviewed by the Social Development Commission); <br />2) For all programs sponsored by private social agencies, <br /> <br /> <br />
