TUESDAY, MAY 13, 1997 <br /> <br />or guardians funding the costs of 3uvenile detention. The Mayor noted <br />a change would be needed in State law for this to occur. Upon motion, <br />duly seconded and by unanimous vote, Council approved the supplemental <br />appropriation. Upon motion, duly seconded and by unanimous vote, <br />Council asked that a Resolution be prepared asking State legislators to <br /> <br />pursue a change in State law which would allow for financial <br />responsibility for 3uvenile detention to be born by parents or <br />guardians. <br /> <br />Council considered a request from the School Board for authorization to <br />make application for a State Literary Fund loan in the amount of $5 <br />million to be used for the Albert Harris School renovation project. <br />Mr. Reynolds stated approval of the application did not commit the City <br />to the project. The application was being requested at this time <br />because the School Board desired to get this project on the waiting <br />list for funding. Mr. Reynolds said that by Spring, 1998, the School <br />Board and Council should be in a position to make a decision on this <br />project. Upon motion, duly seconded and by unanimous vote, Council <br />authorized the School Board to submit the Literary Fund loan <br />application. <br /> <br />Council considered authorizing the City Manager to execute two <br />agreements related to the supply of electric service by the City, as <br />follows: (1) a Power Supply Agreement between the City of Martinsville <br />and Cinergy Services, Inc.; and (2) an Agreement between Blue Ridge <br />Power Agency and the City of Martinsville for Billing and Power Supply <br />Services and Partial Assignment of Contract. Mr. Reynolds noted that <br />Council had received a presentation on this matter at a recent budget <br />work session. Jack Madden of GDS Consultants and Greg Wagoner of <br /> <br /> <br />
