21 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />amended by Council. The motion passed. (Ayes: Dr. Bellamy, Ms. Hill, Ms. Galvin; Noes: Ms. <br />Walker, Mr. Signer). <br /> <br />Allocation of Charlottesville Affordable Housing Fund (CAHF) for Completion of a <br />Comprehensive Housing Strategy -- $200,019.40 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Charlottesville, <br />Virginia that the sum of $200,019.40 be allocated from previously appropriated funds in the <br />Charlottesville Affordable Housing Fund (CAHF) for development of a comprehensive Housing <br />Strategy. <br />Fund: 426 Project: CP-084 G/L Account: 530670 <br /> <br />Housing Strategy Development $200,019.40 <br /> OTHER BUSINESS <br />Ms. Hill asked if Council would meet on Wednesday to continue the closed session from 2- <br />3 p.m. on Wednesday October 3. Council agreed. <br /> Ms. Walker asked Council and Mr. Murphy about support for a new City Engineer position <br />in the Neighborhood Development Services Department. Mr. Murphy said he does not have a <br />recommendation tonight. Ms. Galvin suggested this be discussed at a future meeting when staff <br />can share additional information. <br /> Ms. Walker brought up the Agency Budget Review Team review that is underway and <br />concerns that have been raised about the scope of the review. Ms. Walker said everything they <br />will recommend will ultimately come back to Council. <br /> <br />Ms. Galvin referred to the original scope and advisory committee and said she interpreted that as something that was going to be appointed by the City Manager. Ms. Galvin said if <br />Council is appointing a body it needs to be done like other boards and commissions. <br /> <br />Ms. Walker says she asked people to participate on this committee and that it is the most <br />diverse advisory group that the City has. Ms. Walker said the charge she and Ms. Hill are pursuing is to review the ABRT process. <br /> <br />Mr. Blair noted that if the members have not been appointed officially by Council then the <br />ARBT Review Committee's meetings would not be official public meetings subject to FOIA. <br /> Ms. Walker said they have been meeting and the group wants these meetings to continue. <br />Mr. Murphy asked if the question is whether to evaluate the process or prioritization of requests. <br />From the staff perspective, the expectation was the focus would be by the Mayor and Vice <br />Mayor on the process and not the prioritization of spending and that funding is being held level <br />this year in recognition of that.
