limit on the bridge be reduced. <br /> <br /> Mr. Hendrix stated that an engineer's report has shown <br />that the bridge has a limited life span and needs to be <br />repaired. Mr. Hendrix noted that the bridge must be able to <br />support fire trucks. Mr. Hendrix stated that the bridge <br />would not be replaced for four to five years and that the <br />neighborhood would have the opportunity for ample input into <br />the design of the bridge. <br /> <br /> On motion by Rev. Edwards, seconded by Mr. Vandever, the <br />Council unanimously approved the highway priorities as <br />recommended by the Planning Commission, with the Jefferson <br />Park Avenue bridge improvements and East High Street removed <br />as recommended by Mr. Hendrix. <br /> <br />APPROPRIATION: <br /> <br />(2nd reading) <br /> <br />$35,351 - REGION TEN COMMUNITY SERVICES BOARD <br /> <br /> The $35,351 appropriation for Region Ten Community <br />Services Board which was offered at the May 1st meeting was <br />approved by the following vote. Ayes: Mr. Buck, Rev. <br />Edwards, Mr. Towe, Mr. Vandever, Ms. Waters. Noes: None. <br /> <br /> BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of <br />Charlottesville, Virginia that the sum of $35,351 is hereby <br />appropriated from the unappropriated balance of the General <br />Fund as a supplemental appropriation to the FY 1989-90 <br />allocation granted to the Region Ten Community Services Board <br />by City Council on April 3, 989. <br /> <br />APPROPRIATION: $48,500 SCHOOL FACILITIES STUDY <br /> <br /> Mr. Hendrix explained that in order to program the <br />Capital Improvements budget for the next five years, the <br />schools have proposed to conduct an in-depth survey of all <br />school buildings. Mr. Hendrix stated that $50,000 was <br />currently in the budget, but an additional $48,500 was <br />necessary° Mr. Hendrix stated that it is expected that the <br />School Board will have at least this amount left in their FY <br />88-89 budget which they will return to the City. <br /> <br /> Mr. Vandever stated that the original allocation for the <br />survey would limit the survey to the physical condition of <br />the school buildings and he felt that the program issues <br />were critical. <br /> <br /> Mr. Jim Dunbar, Assistant Superintendent of Schools~ <br />stated that the survey will help determine the best use for <br />all the school buildings for such programs as the four-year <br />old program and computer programs as well as look into such <br />areas as the plumbing and heating. <br /> <br /> Mr. Buck stated that he felt the physical space should <br />not dictate the program needs and recommended that the School <br />Board first develop its program needs. Mr. Buck stated that <br />he felt the Council should be involved in decisions about <br />future capital costs and operating expenses of the schools. <br /> <br /> Ms. Waters agreed that the survey might best be <br />conducted in two phases, with the second phase beginning <br />after the School Board has come forward with specific program <br />needs. <br /> <br /> Mr. Dunbar stated that the survey would help with long- <br />range planning and would help develop an organized method of <br />maintaining the schools. <br /> <br /> Mr. Buck suggested that consideration be given to <br />delaying both phases of the survey until the new <br />superintendent begins. <br /> <br />Ms. Waters stated that she would communicate Council's <br /> <br /> <br />
