STAFF REPORT: <br />RISK MANAGEMENT <br />PROGRAM <br /> <br />is that over the 30-year period, City and County water customers will pay <br />approximate&y She same total amount toward the debt service, although a <br /> <br /> larger percentage of the County's portion will come from the special surcharge <br /> than will be the case with the City. <br /> <br /> Laurence Brunton spoke in favor of the proposal, indicating he hopes <br /> <br /> the proposal will help Council in its decision. He stated that this is an <br /> important project for the City and County. <br /> <br /> George Gilliam stated that he is hopeful that Council will find it <br /> appropriate to give support for the compromise proposal. He stated that the <br /> County will consider it in a few days. He continued, saying that it would <br /> help to have an indication from the City at that time. He stated that the <br /> whole community will win if the proposal is adopted. <br /> <br /> Sue Lewis, representing the League of Women Voters, addressed Council, <br /> reading a prepared statement from that group. The League's statement <br /> supported increased cooperation between the City and County. It also urged <br /> Council to work out the necessary agreements with the County, the County <br /> Service Authority, and the Rivanna Water and Service Authority to acquire <br /> and finance the Buck Mountain Creek Reservoir site. The statement also <br /> complimented the 5 C's and its study group for their efforts to facilitate <br /> the agreement. <br /> <br /> Francis Fife asked Council to move ahead with the recommended proposal. <br /> Cole Hendrix stated that while there are some issues that need to be <br /> ironed out, ~he study group's proposal is probably the best solution available. <br /> He stated that it does not address some specific concerns, but the staff's <br /> feeling is that the use of the tap surcharge is one way to put some costs <br /> into the future. Mr. Hendrix recommended adopting the proposal as a reasonable <br /> compromise solution. <br /> <br /> Mr. Buck stated that he does not want to include any additional issues <br /> <br />in the funding of Buck Mountain Reservoir Project. He stated that the <br />proposal does not go as far as it should, but he views his support of it as <br />going along with a proposal that does have merit. He suggested that Council <br />follow the group's recommendation. Mr. Buck also recognized and thanked the <br />group. <br /> <br /> Mrs. Gleason stated that she concurs with the Mayor's statement and <br />indicated that there is nothing more important than preserving the water <br />supply. <br /> <br /> On motion by Dr. Hall, seconded by Dr. Gunter, Council voted to adopt <br /> <br />the recommendation of the 5 C's Committee by the following vote. Ayes: Mr. <br />Buck, Mrs. Gleason, Dr. Gunter, Dr. Hall. Noes: None. Absent: Mr. Conover. <br /> <br /> Mr. Hendrix stated that the City is requesting the retention of additional <br />liability coverage for protection of City vehicles in the event of a catas- <br />trophic loss. <br /> <br /> On motion by Mrs. Gleason, seconded by Dr. Hall, the following resolution <br />was adopted by the following vote. Ayes: Mr. Buck, Mrs. Gleason, Dr. Gunter, <br />Dr. Hall. Absent: Mr. Conover. <br /> <br /> BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Charlottesville, Virginia, <br />that the City Manager and Director of Finance are authorized to purchase <br />comprehensive coverage insuring the city motor vehicle fleet while stored <br />at the city public works headquarters ("City Yard") on 4th Street, N.W.
