Mr. O'Connell said that money could be kept in reserve to address unanticipated projects. Mr. Cox said a pilot project could be to underground utilities from 10t~ Street to Jefferson Park Avenue, the side street next to the former Woolworth's building being renovation, or Water Street. Ms. Richards noted that VDOT has pledged to pay for half the cost of undergrounding utilities when the Fontaine Avenue project is done. Mr. O'Connell suggested that staff prepare a matrix and list of criteria for future projects.

Mr. Caravati said that in the future he would like to have more information on these types of issues.
