138 (4) That the site plan be ca~ed out as proposed with appropriate screening installed and maintained by the end of April 1998. (5) That the new parking lot be surface treated to match the existing parking and access instead of hard surf'ace asphalt. Ms. Slaughter said that she feels it is appropriate to inform JABA about Council's budget policy of not expanding existing programs, and that they should not assume that approval of the special permit means a budget increase. Mr. Toscano encouraged JABA to future discuss combining programs with the Senior Center. Ms. Daugherty said that how successful the JABA Senior Center is will make a difference regarding future increased funding. II was the consensus of Council for the Mayor to send a letter to JABA informing them that approval of the special permit does not means that there will be a budget increase, and informing them of Council's budget policy of not funding major expansions of existing programs without a long-term funding source and clear means of evaluating performance.
