<br />~ <br />u <br />.r. <br /> <br />December 13, 2005 <br /> <br />Beth Braswell of the Martinsville-Henry County EDC Office expressed her <br /> <br />support of the program indicating that it has only been in existence for one <br /> <br />year. She stated that an actual shell building is the best draw to get them to <br /> <br />the community, but the virtual building adds to the package. Once completed, <br /> <br />the virtual building can be sent electronically to prospects and will also be <br /> <br />available on the EDC's website. <br /> <br />Eddie Cassady, Police Captain, gave a brief update on the growmg <br /> <br />concern of the deer population in the City. He indicated that he has contacted <br /> <br />Jay Jefferies and Matt Knox with the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries <br /> <br />for suggestions and they are willing to come and assist in developing a <br /> <br />management plan. Also, he has talked with Matt Hankins about producing a <br /> <br />video to show on MGTV22 giving advice to citizens concerning alternative <br /> <br />plants and shrubs that are not as appealing to the deer. Council Member <br /> <br />Ferrill indicated that he would still like to hear what specific options are <br /> <br />available and their associated costs. Council Member Roop agreed that we need <br /> <br />to look at the issue more closely and after we feel like we have done all we can <br /> <br />do, then we will have an explanation for the citizens. Dan Collins, City <br /> <br />Manager, requested that a couple of options be developed with costs and bring <br /> <br />back to Council at an upcoming work session. <br /> <br />Vice Mayor Reynolds left the meeting at 1 :27 pm. <br />
