Discussion, consideration and possible action on items removed from the Consent
Agenda. --
approved, motion to review tapes of Nov. 9th meeting to supplement detail on items
6 (discussion on length of contract term for WWAH) and item 8 (discussion on followup
review meetings on design for streetscape phase II) and possible update to minutes
for approval at next meeting. [Ted: I particularly enjoyed this lengthy discussion
as I face the same issue each meeting on how much detail to include and what is
important for my cvilleok.com viewers who get their only info on city meetings
from this media. Apparently the current official minutes are bare bones with the
motion and the vote. The tapes (or CDs?) of the meetings are backup but are not
kept longterm.]
6. Discussion, consideration and possible action on contract with Retail Attractions, LLC. -- no vote or action was taken but Commissioner Bateman posed questions on whether the city was getting their money's worth on this contract with Ricky Hayes ... and concerned that the promise tro provide at least quarterly status at the city meetings was not being provided. A work session to followup on these concerns is the likely next step and to also provide more specific direction on the types of businesses desired.
7. Discussion, consideration and possible action to approve Ordinance No. 841, an Ordinance relating to Finance and Budget Administration, Part 7, Chapter 6, establishing and adopting Section 7-610 providing for an Emergency Service Fee for 911 Voice Over Internet Protocol, providing for severability, repealing all Ordinances in conflict herewith and declaring an emergency and effective date. -- approved, the fee is to apply to all providers and is collected by INCOG. 50 cents per month fee with a small number of users at this point.

5. Presentation
from Carolyn Dougherty GRDA Chief Financial Officer, regarding rate increase.
-- no action (will likely be agenda item in December for
city to react to GRDA rate increase that takes effect Jan. 1, 2010). GRDA is raising
their rates by more than 10% to avoid defaulting on their bond debt due to less
electrical consumption by customers in the economic downturn and mild weather
in past year.) Pam Polk indicated the city may be able to absorb at least some
portion of the increase but would have to pass on most to the city customers.
The GRDA debt crisis should be greatly reduced by mid 2014 when some long term
debt is paid off. Sample charts below from the GRDA presentation:
