31 4. Applicable criteria of the Secretary of the Interior Standards for Rehabilitation have been met; and 5. The changes for which a certificate of appropriateness are sought should not have an adverse impact on either the existing structure nor the surrounding design control district. In accord with the foregoing, a certificate of appropriateness for the Applicant's roof top addition, is hereby approved Provided that it conforms to the description and sketches shown to this Council by Applicant, as modified by Applicant's presentation to thiS Council on January 4, 1999. APPROPRJATION: $1,040,083 - CHILD DAY CARE SERVICES GRANT Mr. O'Connell explained that the appropriation includes a local share of $89,255, and the increased need for day care services is a result of welfare reform. Mr. O'Connell noted that this was identified in last year's budget process as a possible future need, and will be considered in next year's budget as well. Ms. Daugherty added that the appropriation will also increase funds for working parents. On motion by Mr. Toscano, seconded by Mr. Caravati, the $1,040,083 appropriation for Child Day Care Services was offered and carried over to the next meeting for consideration. REPORT: STATUS OF 9TH/10TIt STREET CONSTRUCTION AND PROCESS FOR NAMING NEW STREET Mr. O'Connell explained that the 9th/10th Street project is nearing completion and has not yet been named. The Fifeville Neighborhood Association has recommended that the street be named after the first African-American graduate of the University of Virginia Medical School. Mr. O'Connell suggested that a public hearing be scheduled and additional information be provided to Council. Ms. Daugherty asked how many addresses would need to be changed if all of 10a~ Street was included in the new name. Ms. Daugherty suggested that a notice be put in City Notes soliciting idea for the name. Mr. Toscano said the City will need to contact every property owner to make sure people know that their street name may be changed. Ms. Richards said she has heard some interest in naming the street after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Mr. O'Connell said that he is aware of one neighborhood that has discussed the name and they wanted it to be named after someone locally. RESOLUTION: AUTHORIZING TEA 21 ENHANCEMENT GRANT APPLICATION (CITY) Mr. O'Connell noted that potential projects were identified in Council's earlier discussion of TEA 21, and he feels a consensus was emerging about doing a project in the Union Station area, which could include a pedestrian bridge to the child care facility and hospital, a bridge to the south of the train tracks, and a more longer term project of a multi-modal transportation linear park along the railroad corridor right of way. Mr. O'Connell suggested that the pedestrian crossing be focused on at this point. Responding to a question from Ms. Daugherty, Mr. David Vanaman, City Engineer, said that a bridge from the day care center to the hospital would be more complex.
