ORDINANCE: Closing of Portion of Ware Street Extended (Unaccepted) (2nd reading) Ware Street Partial Closing AN ORDINANCE CLOSING, VACATING AND DISCONTINUING A PORTION OF THE WARE STREET EXTENDED RIGHT-OF-WAY, LOCATED OFF STONEHENGE AVENUE On motion by Mr. Bellamy, seconded by Mr. Fenwick, the consent agenda passed. (Ayes: Mr. Signer, Mr. Bellamy, Ms. Szakos, Ms. Galvin, Mr. Fenwick; Noes: None) REPORT State of the City - 30 mins Mr. Signer, Mr. Bellamy, Ms. Szakos, Ms. Galvin and Mr. Fenwick each presented information on the state of the city. Mr. Signer explained the difference between City Council business meetings and the working meetings. REPORT* Blue Ribbon Commission on Race, Memorials and Public Spaces - 60 mins Mr. Fenwick said that there is not a guide on how to move forward and he wanted to allow more time for information and actions from the Council to come to light. However, the amount of money that it will take to remove the statues does not outweigh the benefits of investing in people. Mr. Bellamy said that he is in favor of the removal of the statues. Over the years many community members warned him that racism is a problem in Charlottesville. Mr. Bellamy said that he confronted that racism when he requested the removal of the statues. Mr. Bellamy proposed a motion on an equity package that he put together that includes Council allocating funds to housing, education, workforce training, employment history and dialogue. He continued to make a motion on the package and wanted to wait to vote on the package until the February 6th City Council meeting. Ms. Szakos seconded. Ms. Szakos said that she wants a clear up or down motion from council tonight on removing the statues. She wants to move forward in renaming the park and suggested "Emancipation Park". Ms. Szakos made a motion to remove the statue of Robert E. Lee, rename the park, have staff bring options to Council within 60 days and release the BRC from its charge. 9 Ms. Galvin stated that the issue of the removal of the statues needs to be looked at from the ethical position and practical dimensions and moral dilemmas. She said that the amount of money needed to move the statues, was a low estimate and did not take into account certain factors that would increase the cost of removal. Ms. Galvin suggested other programs or initiatives that could be used with the money for the statues that would have a larger impact on the lives of Charlottesville citizens. She proposed transforming the statues in place. Ms. Galvin proposed a motion that keeps with the Blue Ribbon Commission‟s guiding principles, that the statues should remain within their public spaces but that their history and symbols of white supremacy are revealed, and their respective parks are transformed in ways that promote freedom and equity in our community. She also proposed the creation of a coherent narrative for the entire historic precinct that includes Lee Park, the Lee statue, Court Square, the Jackson and confederate soldier statues, the slave block and the site of the Reconstruction era's Freedman's Bureau. In addition, Council would reserve $500,000 for the contextualizing of this precinct; issue an RFP for professional design services for the contextualizing and memorializing of this precinct and all it contains; rename both the Lee and Jackson parks; and institute a new holiday to celebrate Charlottesville's return to the Union. Ms. Galvin also proposed that the $330,000 be committed to implementing an effective Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) program as authorized by HUD for the benefit of public housing residents and a similar program for the benefit of Friendship Court residents Mr. Signer said that he wants to make a decision that will unify the community. He said that he will not vote to move the statues. The Blue Ribbon Commission voted to keep the statues in Charlottesville and they gave two options to move the statues. He is suggesting re- contextualizing both statues and to rename both parks to reflect the values of today. Mr. Signer is proposing a new memorial that exceeds the Robert E. Lee statue. In addition to the memorial he wants to implement an interactive web site that would provide access to photos and first-hand accounts of the histories of the area. He also said that he wants a memorial of the Slave Block instead of the existing plaque. Mr. Signer proposed a motion to re-contextualize. Ms. Szakos made a motion to remove the Robert E. Lee statue from Lee Park and to re- name the park, and that we direct staff to bring us a range of options for moving forward with decisions on destination, design and park names within 60 days for our consideration. I further move that we release the Blue Ribbon Commission from its charge with our gratitude. Mr. Bellamy seconded. The motion failed. (Ayes: Mr. Bellamy, Ms. Szakos; Noes: Mr. Signer, Ms. Galvin; Abstentions: Mr. Fenwick) Council suspended the meeting at 10:07 pm and resumed at 10:12 pm. 10 Mr. Signer made a motion to extend Council discussion on the Blue Ribbon Commission recommendations by 20 minutes.

Mr. Fenwick offered an amendment that would include increasing the hours of operation of the recreation centers. The motion passed as amended.

Ms. Galvin also proposed that the $330,000 be committed to implementing an effective Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) program as authorized by HUD for the benefit of public housing residents and a similar program for the benefit of Friendship Court residents. Mr. Signer seconded. The motion failed. (Ayes: Mr. Signer, Ms. Galvin; Noes: Mr. Bellamy, Ms. Szakos, Mr. Fenwick) 11 Mr. Signer offered amendments to Ms. Galvin‟s motion. He suggested that the $330,000 for self-sufficiency program be included in Mr. Bellamy's equity package. Mr. Signer also suggested using the following language: Dramatically transforming the park such that a new memorial exceeds in visual and emotional power the current memorial. Ms. Galvin accepted the amendments and said that she would prefer the new language in the opening paragraph. Mr. Signer suggested the new language be positioned in the second bullet. Ms. Galvin agreed to the amendments. Ms. Szakos asked how much will be spent on the RFP to determine if re-contextualization is viable. Mr. Signer asked Mr. Jones if staff could give guidance on how much would be spent on an RFP. Mr. Jones said that there was not a way to determine an amount at this time. Mr. Fenwick called for a vote. Mr. Signer offered a further amendment to Ms. Galvin‟s motion. He stated that any cost associated with the RFP shall be paid for out of the strategic fund and subject to Council approval. Mr. Signer called for a vote on Ms. Galvin‟s motion including amendments: In keeping with the Blue Ribbon Commission‟s guiding principles, I believe that the statues should remain within their public spaces but that their history and symbols of white supremacy are revealed, and their respective parks are transformed in ways that promote freedom and equity in our community. To create a coherent narrative for the entire historic precinct that includes Lee Park, the Lee statue, Court Square, the Jackson and confederate soldier statues, the slave block and the site of the Reconstruction era's Freedman's Bureau.

Ms. Szakos said that she received an email from a local resident about local businesses that do not pay attention to the ordinance that states that residents have to clear the sidewalk within 24 hour of snow storm. Mr. Ikefuna responded that the ordinance applies to both businesses and residences. He said that he will speak to enforcement about this issue. Mr. Jones reminded Council that the enforcement of the ordinance starts downtown and then branches out and focuses on heavily trafficked pedestrian areas.

Ms. Kuknyo said that the parent representative on the Community Policy & Management Team is vacant and you can apply by going to http://www.charlottesville.org/departments-and-services/boards-and- commissions.

Parents come to this meeting as well and decide as a group what services the children in the cases need. OTHER BUSINESS MATTERS BY THE PUBLIC Ms. Joy Johnson, 823 D Hardy Drive came forward and stated that Council is conscious of the Fair Housing law as evidenced by Council‟s direction. She wanted clarification as to whether the Council was talking about Section 3 in the Fair Housing law. She asked because Section 3 has different regulations. Ms. Johnson suggested that Council bring back Mr. Swanney, a person who was an expert on Section 3 and its implementation of Section 3 in form based code and code audit. Meeting adjourned at 11:59 pm Approved by Council February 6, 2017
