Absent: Mr. Barbour. <br /> <br /> Mr. Van Yahres announced that Mr. Barbour was attending the <br /> <br /> National Conference of Mayors in Boston. <br /> <br /> The minutes of the meetings of May 19, 1975 and June 16, 23 and <br /> <br /> 24, 1975 were approved as presented. <br /> <br /> Mr. Fife remarked that the bonds which were sold on June 24th <br /> <br /> were sold at a more favorable rate than any municipal bonds which <br /> have been sold recently. He stated that Charlottesville bonds <br /> having a triple A rating should command a very favorable rane and <br /> we were especially fortunane in the time selected for the sale <br /> and having received nine bids was very good. An indication of the <br /> quality of the issue was that most of the bonds were already sold <br /> before the bid was awarded. There were a few of the long term <br /> bonds not sold but there was no problem since the purchaser was <br /> willing to hold those until they were taken. <br /> <br /> The City Manager advised the Council that as part of the <br /> <br />contract with the State Highway Department for an Area Transportation <br />Restudy, the contrac-t provides for a policy committee which <br />establishes policy for citizen participation in the execution of <br />the agreement. The Committee should be composed of, four voting <br />members from the City, three from the County, one from the Thomas <br />Jefferson Planning District Commission and one non-voting member <br />representing the Federal Highway Administration. Action on these <br />appointments was deferred until the next meeting. <br /> <br /> A communication was presented from the Commonwealth's Attorney <br />requesting funds for a second assistant in his office. Mr. <br />Gilliam stated that he would like to hear from the Commonwealth <br />Attorney on this matter, but would offer the appropriation on first <br />reading. On motion by Mr. Gilliam, seconded by Mrs. Rineharn the <br />following resolution was offered and carried over to the next <br />meeting for consideration. <br /> <br /> BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Charlottesville <br />that $2600.00 be and the same is hereby appropriated from the <br />General Fund for part of the salary of a second assistant in the <br />office of the Commonwealth Attorney. <br /> <br /> On motion by Mrs. Rinehart, seconded by Mr. Fife the following <br />resolution was adopted by the following recorded vote.
