(c) Vice Mayor Euille directed questions to Transportation and Environmental Services Director O'Kane with respect to placing signs on King Street directing persons to the shops on Cameron Street.

Vice Mayor Euille indicated that since there is no policy on the part of City Council, Councilman Speck and he, along with members of the business community, would be willing to sit down with staff to come up with a policy with respect to signage.

(d) Vice Mayor Euille spoke to the confusion that exists with respect to the parking signs at the Kiss and Ride parking lots at the King Street and Braddock Road Metro Stations.

City Attorney Sunderland was requested to come back to Council with respect to whether or not the City can take away Metro's authority to enforce parking restrictions at the lots until Metro is willing to compromise.

(e) Councilman Cleveland spoke to the recent stabbing on Oronoco Street and the victim's inability to get assistance through the court system. He indicated that something must be done if the person cannot get help from the court system then they should be able to go to the Police Department.

Mayor Donley shared Councilman Cleveland's frustration. He indicated that he has requested the City Manager to convene an internal study group, similar to the one used after the Karen Mitsoff murder, to see where the breakdowns occurred.

Chief Samarra stated that we need our victims to come forward and report the problems to the Police Department before a tragedy happens. The Police Department wants the victims to share their problems with them so that they can intervene.

(f) Council Member Walker announced on Saturday, June 20, 1998, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., the Alexandria Youth Policy Commission will sponsor a conference entitled Families Facing the Future: A Community Focus on Prevention.

Councilwoman Pepper and members congratulated City Clerk Jett on her recent appointments as co-chair of the Virginia Membership Committee of the International Institute of Municipal Clerks, and as chair of the Virginia Municipal Clerks' Association Professional Development Committee.
