He also announced the celebration of Juneteenth. Mr. Fenwick announced the City has been approved as a Virginia Environmental Excellence Sustainability Partner for 2017.

Mr. Signer clarified the July 3 Council meeting cancellation, which will now take place on July 5. He also announced a press conference for July 20 at 3:00 p.m. in City Space to discuss unity and public safety. He read a statement about civility. CITY MANAGER RESPONSE TO MATTERS BY THE PUBLIC Mr. Jones said staff is researching additional ways to help address homelessness in our community, as well as affordable housing in the region. Preliminary conversations are taking place that will help the City serve as a catalyst for providing additional affordable housing units. MATTERS BY THE PUBLIC Mr. Mark Heisey asked Council to revoke permits for the rallies on July 8 and August 12. He said the City should not be afraid to take on the First Amendment. Ms. Mimi Arbeit, City resident, ceded her time to Mr. David Armstrong. He said the permit for July 8 would have been disallowed if ISIS or other foreign terrorist groups were seeking it. He asked Council to revoke this permit, as the group seeking it is a homegrown terrorist group. He said he will do everything in his power to make sure his friends are not hurt. 3 Mr. Brandon Collins, 418 Fairway Ave., speaking on behalf of PHAR, said he supports the statements made so far this evening. We should stand up against racism and violence. PHAR supports the recommendations of the Housing Advisory Committee, which will support extremely low-income people. He said there should be no time limits on the voucher program for affordable housing. Mr. Luis Oyola, 10th and Page neighborhood, said he was confronted with hateful language on the Downtown Mall by a group. He said this group wishes violence to those who oppose them, and he called for their dismantling. Ms. Frances Racette, 182 Brookwood Dr., said her home gets 100% of its electricity through the solar panels on her roof, subsidized by a City program. She spoke in support of the response to the United States' withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord. Ms. Emily Kingsley, Ivy resident, said she is speaking for the group SURJ. She asked the City to remove the plaque from the Lee Statue in Emancipation Park before July 1. Also, she called for the City to rescind the permits for the July 8 and August 12 rallies. These events are dangerous and should not be allowed to take place. Please work with urgency to provide affordable housing to residents who make $60,000 a year or less. She asked Council to take up the HAC recommendations as soon as possible. Ms. Claire Hitchins, Albemarle County resident, and Ms. Sara Tansey, City resident, said the actions of the members of the City Council to allow for the permit on July 8 and August 12 are unconscionable. The organizers’ stated purpose for coming is to cause havoc and draw blood, and the permits should be revoked because it is a public danger to allow them to come. Ms. Emory, City resident, said the City is planning to protect hate groups by approving permits for them on July 8 and August 12. She asked for those who support rescinding the permit to stand. Mr. John Heyden said he is entitled to three uninterrupted minutes. He said he refuses to leave until he gets three uninterrupted minutes, and those who interrupt him should be arrested. He said a Councilor has encouraged interruptions, and his First Amendment rights have been obstructed. He said there is nothing wrong with celebrating your history and culture, as long as you advocate for inclusion. The mayor ordered Mr. Heyden to be removed from Chambers because he did not cease speaking at the end of his allotted time. Ms. Marta Keane, 2040 Earlysville Rd., shared stories about the Jefferson Area Board for Aging, including a pen pal program with second graders at Burnley-Moran. She said JABA is recruiting volunteers and encouraged those who are interested to serve. Mr. Jason Kessler, City resident, said the Councilors do not support First Amendment rights. He said Councilors will not respond to him. 4 Mr. Clifford Hall, 112 W. Market St., read a poem entitled "Dream Deferred". He asked if we are able to coexist and asked for a happy medium as humans. Mr. Paul Long, 1410 Grady Ave., spoke about the homeless who live in the City. He said hot weather is detrimental to those who live in the streets. He asked the City to take steps to provide housing. Ms. Mary Carey, Midway Manor, said she is here to talk about the Juneteenth celebration. She said "emancipation" is not a thoughtful word and is racist. She said protests will continue as long as the statue remains in the park. She said the SIA (Strategic Investment Area) plan is taking away from Black communities. Ms. Deborah Booker, Crescent Halls, President of the Tenant Association at Crescent Halls, said she agrees about disallowing permits for hate groups. She said she also does not like the name "Emancipation Park". She asked Council to press CRHA for action on the needs of Crescent Halls residents. Mr. Bellamy asked about the City’s ability to rescinding permits and referenced the law suit Mr. Heisey cited that the City was involved with regarding the First Amendment. Mr. Jones explained the City’s law suit regarding panhandling in a very specific area due to public safety concerns, which was decided in favor of the plaintiff on the grounds of First Amendment rights. Ms. Szakos said the violence planned by those organizing the August rally is news to her, and she asked City staff to look into denying the permit based on public safety concerns. She said it is her understanding that they can still come even if the permit is denied. Ms. Galvin said the KKK is a domestic terrorist group. The United States identifies foreign terrorist groups, but not domestic terrorist groups. She said she saw a group walking the Downtown Mall on Saturday evening, and they present as a gang. She asked if the City would allow gangs to assemble. Mr. Jones said we cannot do anything about a gang if they have not committed a crime. Ms. Galvin asked what extra security measures the City can bring to bear when gangs are identified. Mr. Jones said the City cannot take action unless violence is committed. Mr. Fenwick said he does not want to create problems in what is already a very difficult situation. Ms. Signer said public safety is paramount, and we are consulting very actively with our Police Chief. He said attempting to stop free speech, as long as it does not come to unlawful action eminently, causes more problems than allowing for sunlight. CONSENT AGENDA a. Minutes for June 5, 2017 b.

Ms. Galvin asked if the strategic plan has a three year life before being renewed. Ms. Beauregard said that it does. Ms. Galvin asked if the outcome measurements for affordable housing being measured by geography and census tract data were included. Ms. Beauregard said that she has this noted, and it should be included in the reports. Ms. Szakos asked for a way to keep track of affordability at the very lowest level, which is 40% AMI.

RESOLUTION: HOUSING ADVISORY COMMITTEE (HAC) RECOMMENDATIONS Housing Advisory Committee Recommendations Ms. Pethia presented to Council on Housing Advisory Committee (HAC) recommendations. Mr. Phil D'Oronzio, HAC Chair, and Mr. Grant Duffield, Executive Director of the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority (CRHA), addressed Council as well. Mr. Duffield supported the HAC recommendations for funding the program with exclusion of recommendations one, three and four. Mr. Bellamy said he wants to see collaboration and communication between HAC, PHAR and the CRHA. Ms. Pethia reviewed existing collaboration and said she is open to suggestions. Ms. Galvin said staff’s questions need to be brought back to the advisory group. Ms. Szakos said we should accept the recommendation and figure out where we need more implementation time, and then staff can devise a plan. Ms. Szakos requested that “and Council instructs staff to research and propose implementation plan by September 16th for appropriate program structure” be inserted under the first “Be It Further Resolved”. Ms. Galvin read the motion including the amendment proposed by Ms. Szakos. Ms. Szakos asked to insert a “no later than” date in the second “Be It Further Resolved” and eliminating the last section. Ms. Galvin accepted the amendment. Mr. Bellamy offered an amendment to direct staff and HAC to work together on the structure. Ms. Szakos suggested the language, “Council instructs staff and the Housing Advisory Committee to research and propose an implementation plan by September 16th for appropriate program structure.” Ms. Galvin accepted the amendment. 10 Mr. Brown suggested directing staff to make sure that this is coordinated after adopting the resolution. Mr. Bellamy said he supports Mr. Brown’s suggestion. Ms. Szakos seconded Ms. Galvin’s motion as amended. Mr. Signer said a lot of work has gone into this, and we have a big affordable housing challenge in front of us. We doubled our spending on affordable housing. Over 30% of this money is going towards rental assistance every year. Ms. Szakos said other items on this list will hopefully generate revenue to spend towards affordable housing. Charlottesville's efforts are being noticed by other cities. We have been working on this for about nine years, and it is showing. The resolution approving the housing advisory committee recommendations for the Charlottesville comprehensive housing study and policy recommendations report passed. (Ayes: Ms. Szakos, Ms. Galvin, Mr. Signer, Mr. Fenwick, Mr. Bellamy; Noes: None.) RESOLUTION: DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DBE) UPDATE Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Update Ms. Jennifer Stieffenhofer presented to Council and reviewed staff recommendations. Staff recommends allowing a newly created DBE Committee to establish disparity and set realistic goals. Ms. Szakos said another nebulous committee that does not have a work plan is not helpful at this juncture. It would be better to have a task force that looks at the viability of a committee with a clear direction. Ms. Galvin said the City has a lot of advisory groups. Mr. Bellamy made the motion, “Be it resolved by the Council for the City of Charlottesville, Virginia, that a new Buyer II position in the Procurement and Risk Management Division is hereby created.” Ms. Galvin seconded the motion with an amendment, "with a focus on the minority business community, as well as giving the authority to do local economic research, forecasting and marketing studies as required." Mr. Bellamy accepted the amendment. Ms. Szakos said "charged with increasing the number and scale of minority owned business contracting with the City." Mr. Bellamy accepted the amendment. On motion by Mr. Bellamy, seconded by Ms. Galvin, the resolution to approve the creation of a new Buyer II position in the Procurement and Risk Management Division passed. (Ayes: Ms. Szakos, Ms. Galvin, Mr. Signer, Mr. Fenwick, Mr. Bellamy; Noes: None.) 11 Mr. Bellamy made a motion to establish a task force of different community members to advise staff to outline a strategy to increase the number and scale of minority owned business contracting with the City and a development of a job description for the approved procurement position within 60 days to work as an advisory task force with the position just adopted. Ms. Szakos seconded the motion. Mr. Signer asked if we could achieve these goals by directing staff to accomplish this without establishing a body. Mr. Signer gave the example of having five group sessions. Ms. Szakos suggested Council conclude the advisory group after 60 days rather than have an ongoing task force. Part of the implantation could be a recommendation for an ongoing advisory group. Mr. Jones clarified that this was 60 days from the formation of the task force. Ms. Galvin said at the end of 60 days, there should be an assessment as to whether the task force should remain in existence. Mr. Fenwick asked who would appoint the members. Mr. Bellamy proposed having five people on the task force, to be appointed by City Council; members will be recommended by the City Manager. The motion passed. (Ayes: Ms. Szakos, Ms. Galvin, Mr. Signer, Mr. Fenwick, Mr. Bellamy; Noes: None.) RESOLUTION: RESPONSE TO U.S. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT Withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement Ms. Kristel Riddervold presented to Council. Council discussed joining the Compact of Mayors. Ms. Riddervold said this is in keeping with staff's active work on the Climate Protection Program. Ms. Szakos confirmed that the Compact of Mayors is not overly prescriptive. Ms. Galvin said she wants to be sure this is not taking away from other commitments we have made with the existing Strategic Plan goals. Ms. Szakos moved to adopt the resolution in response to the announced United States withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and to join the Compact of Mayors with a commitment to develop a plan in keeping with our Strategic Plan. Ms. Galvin seconded the motion. Mr. Signer said this is a group effort, and he is grateful for the support. The resolution passed. (Ayes: Ms. Szakos, Ms. Galvin, Mr. Signer, Mr. Fenwick, Mr. Bellamy; Noes: None.) RESOLUTION: OPEN DATA UPDATE AND POLICY APPROVAL Open Data Update and Policy Approval Ms. Beauregard presented to Council. 12 On motion by Ms. Szakos, seconded by Ms. Galvin, the motion passed.

RESOLUTION Open Data Formal Policy Approval BE IT RESOLVED, by the Council for the City of Charlottesville, Virginia, that the formal policy for the Open Data Initiative is approved. REPORT: CFD AND CARS SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT STRATEGY AND COST RECOVERY PROGRAM CFD and CARS System Improvement Strategy Chief Andrew Baxter of the Charlottesville Fire Department presented to Council. An EMS representative presented on charitable donations, operating budget, and the need for a cost recovery program. Ms. Szakos said she appreciates that the insurance companies, and not the people, will be billed. She asked for clarification on the process of collecting from non-City residents. Chief Baxter reviewed their billing process with a contracted company. Ms. Szakos said she would eventually like to see regional cooperation with the County. Ms. Galvin thanked Chief Baxter for answering her questions about the Grenfell Tower fire incident in London and said she has been reassured about the safety of the City’s public housing buildings. REPORT: OFFICE OF HUMAN RIGHTS ANNUAL REPORT Office of Human Rights Annual Report Ms. Charlene Green presented to Council and answered clarifying questions.

She thanked Jenny Jones, Chief of Family Services, for attending this evening. OTHER BUSINESS – McIntire Recycling Center Hours Ms. Galvin brought forward a proposal to expand the hours at the McIntire Recycling Center, to increase from 40 hours a year to 114 hours a year, at an added cost of $19,200, which may be able to be absorbed by the existing RSWA budget. This would triple availability of the Recycling Center for a nominal increase. The City's share is 30%, and the County's share is 70%. Albemarle County has adopted this increase. Ms. Szakos said she supports this allocation. Mr. Signer asked that it be added to the next consent agenda. Ms. Galvin will communicate Council’s support to RSWA. Mr. Fenwick asked for Council's will on the request from Melanie Miller to remove the Historic Resources Committee's name from the parks renaming resolution. Mr. Brown said he will review the request and report back to Council. MATTERS BY THE PUBLIC Ms. Nancy Carpenter, Rose Hill neighborhood, said there is a Back to School Bash at the Pavilion on August 12, which will coincide with the planned rally. She asked what the City will do to protect the young children who will be attending. She said she will put her body on the line to protect the children during the event. She said the permit should be rescinded. Meeting adjourned. Clerk of Council
