]7 <br /> <br />PUBLIC <br /> <br />There were no matters by the public. <br /> <br />OTHER BUSINESS <br /> <br /> Mr. Hendrix stated that it had come to the City's <br />attention that certain rezoning of agricultural districts <br />was being done by the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors <br />and there was some concern that the creation of these <br />districts might have implications for future highway <br />projects. Mr. Hendrix stated that it had been recommended <br />that the Mayor write a letter to the Board requesting that <br />they withhold rezoning such districts until the current <br />study being conducted by the Virginia Department of <br />Transportation with regard to Route 29 north and any <br />potential bypass is completed. <br /> <br /> Mr. Buck stated that he felt the request was consistent <br />with the County's past request of the City that no changes <br />be made with regard to plans for Route 29 north until the <br />study is completed. <br /> <br /> It was the consensus of Council to request that the <br />Mayor write a letter to the Albemarle County Board of <br />Supervisors requesting that no additional agricultural <br />districts be created until completion of the highway study <br />being conducted by the Department of Transportation. <br /> <br /> Mr. Hendrix stated that there was a need for additional <br />clerical help in the City Manager's office as the <br />professional staff had grown to nine, but the secretarial <br />staff had remained the same. Mr. Hendrix stated that an <br />agreement had been made with the Industrial Development <br />Authority to provide funds for a part-time permanent <br />clerical position. Mr. Hendrix noted that any additional <br />staff must be approved by Council. <br /> <br /> On motion by Mrs. Gleason, seconded by Mr. Towe, <br />Council unanimously approved the creation of a part-time <br />permanent clerical position in the City Manager's office to <br />be funded by the Industrial Development Authority. <br /> <br /> Mr. Buck requested that the Council take a stand on the <br />lottery issue which will be voted on in the November 3rd <br />election. <br /> <br /> On motion by Mr. Towe, seconded by Mrs. Gleason, <br />Council unanimously voted to oppose the creation of a <br />lottery in Virginia. <br /> <br /> On motion by Mrs. Gleason, seconded by Mr. Towe, <br /> Council unanimously voted to meet in executive session to <br /> discuss personnel and legal matters as exempted by Section <br /> 2.1-344(a)(1) and (6) of the Virginia Freedom of Information <br /> Act. <br />eeting was adjourned. <br /> <br /> President ~rk~-~ ~ <br /> <br /> <br />
