248 <br /> <br /> Ms. Waters stated that she endorsed the effort of the <br />local organization to pay the overtime for police, but felt <br />that appropriating the funds if this effort falls short would <br />an appropriate way for the City to contribute to hosting the <br />event. <br /> <br /> The resolution indicating CouncilJs willingness to <br />appropriate up to $3,800 for police overtime for the Tour de <br />Trump was approved by the following vote. Ayes: Mr. Buck, <br />Mr. Towe, Ms. Waters. Noes: Rev. Edwards and Mr. Vandever. <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Charlottesville has <br />been provided additional information from local Tour de Trump <br />race officials since its last regular Council meeting; and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, there now appears to be a substantial <br />likelihood that revenues generated from sales of souvenirs, <br />sodas, and other items by the race committe or its agents <br />("sales revenues") may'well equal or exceed funds needed to <br />pay for police overtime expenses generated by the Tour de <br />Trump race~ <br /> <br /> NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that Council agrees as <br />follows: <br /> <br /> (a) The formal appropriation for $3,800 offered on <br />first reading at the regular Council meeging of April 2, <br />1990, to cover said overtime police expenses is tabled, and <br /> <br /> (b) A decision to appropriate any of such funds is <br />hereby deferred until after the Tour de Trump race with the <br />understanding and hope that sales revenues from the event <br />will be sufficient to pay such police expenses, and <br /> <br /> (c) To the extent that sales revenues are not <br />sufficient to cover such overtime expenses, the Council will, <br />after a fu!l accounting, then consider appropriating the <br />short fall in an amount that shall not exceed ~3,800. <br /> <br />APPROPRIATION: ~30,861.89 - VENABLE SCHOOL INSURANCE SETTLEMENT <br /> <br /> Mr. O'Connell explained that the appropriation was the <br />insurance settlement received to reimburse the City for <br />repairs made to Venable School following vandalism. <br /> <br /> On motion by Rev. Edwards, seconded by Mr. Buck, the <br />$30,861.89 appropriation of the Venable School insurance <br />settlement was offered and carried over to the next meeting <br />for consideration. <br /> <br />RESOLUTION: APPROVING CDBG PROGRAM FOR FY 90-91 <br /> <br /> Mr. O'Connell stated that before Council for approval <br />was the Community Development Block Grant program for FY <br />1990-91 as previously discussed by Council, and the issue of <br />how to fund $100,000 requested by the Charlottesville Housing <br />Foundation for development and loan assistance for affordable <br />housing. Mr. O'Connell stated that the CDBG Task Force and <br />Planning Commission recommended that $50,000 be taken from <br />the revolving house bank program and $50,000 be taken from <br />the scattered site housing program. Mr. O'Connell explained <br />that funds were also available in the revolving loan fund. <br /> <br /> Ms. Waters questioned whether the scattered site funds <br />would be needed in the future and Mr. Louie Chapman, <br />Assistant City Manager, explained that it is not known at <br />this time how much will be needed for demolition and <br />renovations of the houses purchased by the Housing Authority. <br /> <br /> Mr. Vandever questioned whether funds in other accounts <br />could be reprogrammed at a later date if necessary. <br /> <br /> <br />
