U.Va. Office of African-American Affairs, Development Community, Financial Community, PTO Council, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, Commission on Children and Families, Neighborhood Association Representative, School Board, Attorney, Adult Education, Board of Architectural Review, School Board CIP Committee, Architect, Chamber of Commerce, and Planning Commission. Mr. Cox seconded the motion, but suggested that the appointed positions (School Board, Planning Commission and Board of Architectural Review) be removed, and Mr. Toscano agreed. Ms. Richards expressed concern that if the motion is approved Council will not be confirming the group's recommendation, and she said she did not fred that this would be acceptable with the group. Mr. Cox said the group should trust that Council will do what they have asked. Mr. Lynch said he thinks Council should state that the task force will consist of the first 10 members since it is what the group is asking for and he feels is the right thing todo. Mr. Caravati said he agrees it would be bad if Council does not honor the wishes of the group, but he feels saying "consider" will be satisfactory. Ms. Richards said she does not think it will be viewed as an act of good faith. Ms. Nancy O'Brien said that the committee specifically wanted those first 10 members and to have people with expertise come from remaining categories. Mr. Toscano withdrew his motion citing concerns about the process. Mr. Lynch made a motion that Council will appoint from the first 10 categories and will consider members from the other categories as listed by Mr. Toscano, and Ms. Richards seconded the motion. Mr. Lynch's motion was denied by the following vote. Ayes: Mr. Lynch, Ms. Richards. Noes: Mr. Caravati, Mr. Cox, Mr. Toscano. Mr. Cox made a motion to approve the motion previously made by Mr. Toscano, and Mr. Toscano seconded the motion. Mr. Lynch said he will vote in favor of the motion even though he feels they should commit to the first ten members because he trusts that Council will make the appointments as requested. The motion was approved by the following vote. Ayes: Mr. Caravati, Mr. Cox, Mr. Lynch, Mr. Toscano. Noes: Ms. Richards. Council continued with a discussion of the Task Force Proposal and Guiding Principles, and offered changes and language modifications to both. On motion by Mr. Cox, seconded by Mr. Lynch, the modified Task Force Proposal and Guiding Principles was approved by the following vote. Ayes: Mr. Caravati, Mr. Cox, Mr. Lynch, Mr. Toscano. Noes: Ms. Richards.
