ORDINANCE: PENALTIES FORVIOLATIONS~OF SEWERAGE DISPOSAL REGULATIONS Mr. Hendrix explained that the ordinance woul'd provide penalties for violation of sewerage disposal regulations. Mr. Hendrix stated that Albemarle County will be asked to adopt similar penalties. On motion by Rev. Edwards, seconded by Mr. ~Towe, the ordinance entitled "AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND AND REORDAIN SECTION 24-11 OF ARTICLE I OF CHAPTER 24 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE, 1976, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO VIOLATIONS OF SEWERAGE DISPOSAL REGULATIONS" was offered and carried over to the next meeting for consideration. PUBLIC There were no matters by the public. OTHER BUSINESS Rev. Edwards requested that information regarding the number of traffic citations issued on Jefferson Park Avenue and Harris Road be provided to Council. Referring to a recommendation from the staff regarding a stop sign at the corner of Jefferson Park Avenue/Camilla and Harris Road, Mr. Vandever asked what safety problems the staff felt existed with installing a stop sign without making other changes. Mr. Hendrix stated that the staff's objection to this option was based on the fact that the sign would be placed on ~a curve and motorists may not understand the reason for the place and may as a result ignore the sign, and others may stop quickly and speed away, thereby creating other problems. Mr. Vandever stated that he felt the existing problem in the area warranted the installation of a stop sign, but he did not feel competent to determine which was the best option. Ms. Waters recommended that staff meet with all the affected neighbors to make sure they are in agreement about wanting the stop signs and to get their reactions to the proposed sidewalks and easements necessary for some of the options. Mr. Hendrix noted that the improvements would have to fit into the Public Works schedule and would not be completed until late summer or early fall. Mr. Towe made a motion to adopt a resolution in support of a constitutional amendment prohibiting burning of the American flag. Mr. Towe stated that he felt it was particularly appropriate to adopt the resolution on the eve of the Fourth of July and at the home of Thomas Jefferson. Mr. Buck stated that he would second the motion for discussion purposes. Mr. Vandever stated that while he has respect for the American flag he felt that the strength of our system is the fact that a wide range of opinions and beliefs are tolerated. Mr. Buck stated that he felt such a constitutional amendment could be seen as a constraint on personal views and that the country's tolerance of dissent is part of its greatness.
