CITY MANAGER RESPONSE TO COMMUNITY MATTERS Mr. Jones updated Council on Belmont Blasting and the City's plan to provide Council with information on a strong mayor form of government at the July 16 Council meeting. COMMUNITY MATTERS Mr. Paul Long, 100 Ridge St., commented on the process of hiring a new City Manager. He said no one working in an appointed position should be considered for that post. He stated that a director should come from a large area and should have extensive experience with handling major problems. He called for a transparent, community-driven process. Mr. Jeff Lenert, 294 Hillsdale Dr., addressed Council regarding his experience with the affordable housing fund and denial of his application. He asked Council to give full consideration of their application. Mr. Luis Oyola, Charlottesville, said he hopes Council has taken the threats he provided at the last meeting seriously. He asked Council to review Unicorn Riot's leak of the chat for Unite the Right 2.0. He warned that the events of this past weekend in Portland warn of what may come in Charlottesville this summer. Dr. Bellamy asked for an update from Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones said the police department has the information Mr. Oyola provided at the last meeting. Staff is looking at the events in Portland and have been in touch with the city to learn more about what happened. Ms. Mary Carey, City resident, thanked staff for removing the shrubbery along the streets downtown. She said Council has made renaming the park overly complicated. She asked Council to stop the lottery for Community Matters speakers. Mr. Wheeler gave a brief update on the parks renaming process. Council will have something to consider at their next meeting. Ms. Sharon Kelley, Palatine Ave., deferred her time to Mr. Tom Vandever, 916 Druid Ave. He thanked Council for moving quickly to establish an ordinance that addresses the proposed blasting. He spoke about the potential negative effects of the proposed blasting at Belmont Point to residential property. He asked those in attendance from Belmont to stand. He said the developer could explore less dangerous methods. He asked Council to move quickly to implement the ordinance. He recommended inserting language in the ordinance to allow for longer term security bond paid by the applicant and administered by the City Manager that would protect the neighborhood from damage. Sec. 5-208 (c)(iv) "Security bonds provided by the applicant and administered by the city manager may be required by the City Council." Ms. Hill asked if Ms. Robertson believed such a clause could be incorporated. Ms. Robertson said she is still exploring other localities' ordinances. A property damage bond is potentially covered by fire code. There is a bond provision in the ordinance as drafted. Dr. Bellamy thanked the residents for coming to Council with this matter. Councilors spoke in support of affordable housing projects and let Mr. Lenert know they were following up on options regarding his application. Mr. Chris Henry, president of Stony Point Design Build, spoke in support of his project, Dairy Central. He highlighted the community engagement process to develop this project and the resulting changes, including additional affordable housing, a community meeting space, job creation, and sustainability. Ms. Galvin asked Mr. Henry who he is working with regarding job opportunities. Mr. Henry said they have met with GO Charlottesville program staff, and contractors are committed to a job fair during phase 1, which is planned for August. Mr. Michael Massey, 908 Druid Ave., ceded his time to Mr. James Kelley, Belmont resident. He has a Class A General Contractor license and is familiar with blasting. He said the blast radius is much larger than stated and poses a serious risk to nearby residents. He said potential issues due to the blasting will not be known until the developer is long gone. He said there are alternatives to the work the developer wants to do. Mr. Paul Nelson, Denali Way, said an upcoming recession is coming in the next 12-16 months. He asked Council to scale back social programs and keep public safety and public works departments running. Mr. Christian DeBaun, 816 Stonehenge Ave., said the City should not allow blasting for Belmont Point, especially not to build houses starting in the upper $300k range. Ms. Tanesha Hudson, City resident, said Belmont is not the only neighborhood having issues with housing. She said the City has a housing crisis, and the City fails to recognize the real issue. She said there is a white narrative that does not address the needs of black residents and businesses. She said August 12 will happen again because the City makes this a white space. Dr. Bellamy thanked Ms. Hudson for speaking and encouraged her to get together with the Minority Businesses coordinator to discuss thoughts and potential grants. Ms. Hudson said conversations are great, but ultimately the City needs to cut a check. Mr. Melvin Burruss, 912 Old Virginia Rd., asked Council to listen to Ms. Hudson, because she is speaking the truth. He asked for a plan to follow up on the promise of providing homegrown worker jobs to make sure the developers do what they say. He said he is concerned that the City Manager's contract was not renewed. He told Mr. Jones he appreciated what he has done for him and the residents of Charlottesville, including the sacrifices he has made. Ms. Martha Dix, 914 Druid Ave., said she has lived there for 23 years and is not pleased with the construction taking place in her back yard. She expressed concern for the condition of her home should blasting take place. Ms. Kristin Ullrich, Druid Ave., spoke against blasting at Belmont. A women said Hitler was not the only Nazi. The crimes of World War II were not perpetuated by Hitler alone. Apathy and a normalization of changing aspects of their culture allowed unthinkable things to become possible, then desirable. She cautioned Council against allowing fascists and white supremacists from allowing to change the terms of the conversation, using terms of civility to cover their agenda. Civility does not require compliance. She encouraged donations to the resiliency fund, at bit.ly/cvillefund. Ms. Katrina Turner, City resident, said until all citizens have justice, we should stop pledging allegiance to the flag. She asked why the entire letter presented to Council at the last meeting was not addressed. She asked if her son's case could be reopened now that the Chief of Police is in place. She asked Council what they would do if black police officers started going rogue and messing with white children. Dr. Bellamy asked Chief Brackney if she can meet with Ms. Turner. Chief Brackney has pulled the files at Mr. Jones' request and will review for follow-up. She will provide information on how the case was handled and what the outcome was. Ms. Katherine Lee Willis spoke against blasting at Belmont. She said many of the residents will not be able to afford repairs if there is damage to their homes. At Ms. Galvin's request, Dr. Bellamy provided a brief update on where the Housing Authority is in terms of their redevelopment process. He encouraged citizens to attend. Ms. Walker said Council should not dictate what the CRB presents to Council. She said that she would like to place a moratorium on development, but that is not permitted. She is exploring routes the City can take to fix the crisis we are in and hopes to have something to present in the near-future. Council took a recess at 8:12 p.m. and readjourned at 8:33 p.m. CONSENT AGENDA a. Minutes for June 18, 2018 b.

ABRT FUNDING Ms. Walker asked Council if they would consider freezing funding at current levels while staff and a committee explore options for revising the process. She said this occurred once before, about eight years ago. She requested a resolution for consideration at the July 16 Council meeting. Ms. Galvin said she supports this in order to give staff time to review the process. Mr. Signer said he does as well and wants to make sure the process is being reviewed with the idea that the arts programs will potentially be in a separate system entirely, once the CACVB is restructured. MATTERS BY THE PUBLIC Mr. Rich Gullick, former Operations Manager for Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority, said a tremendous amount of misinformation has been disseminated regarding this project. He said this will not be needed before 2062, and option D is the only viable option. He distribute a flier to Council with information on the various options. Ms. Galvin said she would like to respond to this at the next meeting. Mr. Signer said these are serious issues, and he asked that staff address this properly through the appropriate channels. Mr. Jones said staff has asked Rivanna staff to put together information. Mr. Signer said getting something from Rivanna may not be helpful, and he asked for staff to provide separate analysis. Mr. Jones said all information from Rivanna will go through Ms. Hildebrand. Mr. Gullick said recent drought problems have been caused by leaking gates, irrefutably. The meeting was adjourned at 12:20 a.m.
