58 <br /> <br />Agreement: setting out the procedure for selection of the <br />citizen member of the Authority; stressing that the Authority <br />is a public body subject to the Freedom of Information Act; <br />maintaining flexibility regarding personnel and retirement <br />benefits to allow an opportunity to work out an agreement for <br />City empl. oyees who will become staff of the Authority; <br />providing a list of proposed projects; and discussing the <br />role and composition of the Advisory Committee. <br /> <br /> Ms. Slaughter noted concern that the agreement would not <br />allow the Advisory Committee to .select its own chair. <br /> <br /> Ms. Waters stated that selection of the Advisory <br />Committee chair was recommended to be more comparable to the <br />chair of the Authority. <br /> <br /> Ms. Waters moved the resolution apprOving the <br />Organizational Agreement and Mr. Vandever seconded the motion. <br /> <br /> Mr. Toscano offered the following as a friendly <br />amendment to the Agreement: include the need for regional <br />cooperation and stress the importance of citizens within the <br />recycling effort. Mr. Toscano also recommended that the <br />Articles of Incorporation and Organizational Agreement be <br />reviewed in a year and possibly expanded to include regional <br />participation and increase the membership of the Advisory <br />Committee. Mr. Toscano added that he did not think it <br />necessary for Albemarle County to agree to include the <br />amendment. <br /> <br /> Ms. Waters stated that it would be her preference to <br />asked the City's representatives to bring back a report on <br />the Authority in a year since she felt it may be premature to <br />restructure the Authority after only a year's time. <br /> <br /> It was agreed that the matter would be put on the <br />Council's agenda in a year's time and that the Mayor would <br />write to the Board of Supervisors expressing the concerns <br />raised by Mr. Toscano. <br /> <br /> The resolution approving the Rivanna Solid Waste <br />Authority's Organizational Agreement was unanimously approved <br />by Council.. <br /> <br />ORDINANCE: CLOSING ALLEY ADJACENT TO UNIVERSITY THEATRE <br /> <br /> Mr. Huja stated that the Planning Commission recommended <br />approval of the alley closing with the following conditions: <br />1) That a permanent 12' pedestrian easement be provided for <br />public access through to adjacent streets; 2) That provisions <br />be made to provide for access to the existing parking unless <br />it is eliminated or relocated~ and 3)~That improvements in <br />the alleyway be subject to administrative design review as <br />part of the site plan review process. <br /> <br /> Mr. Gouldman. noted that the third condition was <br />changed in the ordinance before Council to read that the <br />design would be "reviewed for compatibility with properties <br />in the surrounding area," as a compromise since the decision <br />to close a street or alley has been made on the basis that <br />the street is no longer necessary and review requirements <br />have not been included in the past. Mr. Gouldman added that <br />the property is not within the historic district. <br /> <br /> On motion by Ms. Slaughter, seconded by Mr. Toscano, the <br />ordinance entitled."AN ORDINANCE CLOSING, VACATING AND <br />DISCONTINUING A PORTION OF AN ALLEY OFF UNIVERSITY AVENUE" <br />was offered and carried over to the next meeting for <br />consideration. <br /> <br />ORDINANCE: CLOSING LAUREL~STREET NEAR OLD LYNCHBURG ROAD <br />RESOLUTION: GRANTING AN ENCROACHMENT ON LAUREL STREET <br /> <br /> <br />
