48 <br /> <br /> Mr. O'Connell explained that the aPpropriation included <br />the following changes: 1) funding half the cost for a deputy <br />in the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, with the other <br />half funded by Albemarle County because the State did not <br />approve funding for the position; 2) increase the funding for <br />the afterschool program (community education) by $9,000; and <br />3) amend the budget in the utility area to offset the <br />additional appropriations. <br /> <br /> Mr. Buck requested that a justification be provided for <br />the increase in the community education budget. <br /> <br /> Mr. O'Connell stated that the increase was due to <br />additional staff and increased expenses, and that he would <br />provide more details regarding the increase by the second <br />reading of the appropriation. <br /> <br /> On motion by Rev. Edwards, seconded by Mr. Buck, the <br />appropriation amending the FY 89-90 budget for Community <br />Education and a Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court Deputy <br />was offered and carried over to the next meeting for <br />consideration. <br /> <br />APPROPRIATION: $9,711.54 - DRUG SEIZURE ASSETS <br /> <br /> Mr. O'Connell explained that the appropriation <br />represented cash and assets seized during arrests for <br />illegal drugs and would be used by the drug enforcement unit <br />in the Police Department. <br /> <br /> Responding to a question from Rev. Edwards, Mr. <br />O'Connell stated that it is his understanding that the City <br />will continue to be able to receive drug seizure assets. <br /> <br /> Mr. Vandever recommended that a letter be sent <br />supporting federal legislation which would continue to allow <br />the City to receive drug seizure assets. Mr. Vandever also <br />requested a report on drug seizure assets which have been <br />returned to the City. <br /> <br /> On motion by Rev. Edwards, seconded by Mr. Towe, the <br />$9~711.54 appropriation of drug seizure assets was offered <br />and carried over to the next meeting for consideration. <br /> <br />RESOLUTION: GRANTING SPECIAL PERMIT TO USE 1512 E. MARKET ST. AS <br />ADULT CARE CENTER <br /> <br /> Mr. Satyendra Huja, Director of Community Development, <br />stated that the Planning Commission recommended approval of <br />the special permit for the following reasons: 1) The use <br />itself will not have a significant adverse impact on the <br />neighborhood in terms of traffic and noise; 2) This will <br />permit the rehabilitation and improvement to the dilapidated <br />house of some historical and architectural significance; and <br />3) the use of Adult Day Care meets an essential and much <br />needed community service need. The recommendation was <br />conditional upon the following: 1) that the use be for <br />adult day care only for up to 30 clients; 2) that the <br />rehabilitation and construction additions to the building <br />and site be subject to review by the Board of Architectural <br />Review; and 3) that the site plan for this use be approved <br />administratively. The Planning Commission also recommended <br />that a resident of the Woolen Mills neighborhood be added to <br />the Thomas Jefferson Adult Day Care Center Board. <br /> <br /> Mr. Blake Hurt, owner of the property, stated that he <br />was concerned about the requirement by the Board of <br />Architectural Review of a tin roof and other siding material <br />which would increase the cost by $5,000 to $10,000 which <br />would have to be passed on to the Adult Day Care Center in <br />rent charges. <br /> <br /> <br />
