Mr. Poling congratulated the students on their efforts, achievements, and successes, and thanked the NCS staff and teachers for guiding them and showing them what could be accomplished. He supported the continuance of the school and said how it was accomplished was the question. He asked if staff had developed a new funding strategy. City Manager Ruiz was aware of none. Mr. Poling suggested the City could work with the County to secure additional funding for the school given the fact that students came from all over the County. He joined in the request made by Mr. Pryor and Mr. Zelenka. Mr. Poling said he first became aware of the OTC action on March 4 through a one -line e-mail notifying him of OTC's action. He had proposed the letter supporting the renaming. He thought that was the right thing because of the work Mr. Pape had done in promoting the transportation system. Beltline Highway had signs stating it was both Beltline Highway and Beltline Road in reflection of its previous road status. He believed that no matter the name, it would still be referred to as the Beltline. He said it was just a name to honor a man who he believed was worthy of the honor. He agreed the State process could be improved on. Mayor Piercy understood that people were not necessarily satisfied with the council response to the Beltline renaming controversy. She had encouraged the idea that signs be replaced gradually, and that Beltline be retained as part of the name so that people could use the name they pleased. Mayor Piercy expressed admiration for the students who were speaking in public with little experience for the first time and commended the students graduating from. NC S this year. She said the students were very important to the cit Mr. zelenka said he had made a personal plea to OTC Chair Frail Atcherman regarding the phase -in of signs, which was the direction the State chose. He said the council was not aware of the cost at the time it took the vote. II. CONSENT CALENDAR A.
