].28 TUESDAY, AUGUST 23, 1994 Mr. Mayor and Members of Council, this action requires that I make certain declarations under the Virginia Conflict of Interest Act. This action specifically changes the dental benefit provisions of the City's Section 125 plan. The changes encourage and may influence City employees to obtain or continue dental coverage under the City plan. Presently, the City's insurance carrier is Delta Dental Plan of Virginia. My practice is presently contracted as a preferred provider to provide dental services to patients covered under this plan. Even though I feel that I a~ able to participate in this action fairly, objectively, and in~e public interest and that under the provisions of the Act I am ~ot prohibited from participating, I respectfully disqualify myself from this Council action to avoid any appearance of impropriety. Upon motion, duly seconded and by a vote of 4-0 (with Councilman Crabtree abstaining), Council approved the changes to the Section 125 plan as presented. Upon motion, duly seconded and by unanimous vote, Council approved the reestablishment of the Color Removal Fund and the transfer of all related budget line items, both revenues and expenditures, from the Sewer Fund to the Color Removal Fund. Finance Director Fitts noted this change would clearly separate revenues and expenditures associated with color removal (which are funded by charges assessed to local textile industries) from the regular Sewer Fund budget. Council a~nowledged a status report on the FY 93-94 Capital Expenditure Program, in which Mr. Reynolds noted that $195,701.61 was being"returned to the Capital Reserve Fund for future appropriation. Mr'~ Reynolds also: noted that 8150,000 of the savings resulted from the elimination of the Sara Lee Roy Street plant access road project from the Program.
