'4'"> c: ~ TUESDAY, APRIL 8, 1986 meet the area's projected wastewater treatment needs) and no permit has yet been issued by the Water Control Board for the design and construction of the PSA's proposed Marrowbone plant. And, commenting on Mayor Cole's suggestion that, per- haps, the City should concentrate on attracting "dry" industries (i.e., those not using large quantities of water) to reduce and/or curtail the demand upon local wastewater treatment facilities and/or to forestall increasing treatment facilities, Mrs. Severt expressed herself as being in favor of not only ".....taking care of present industries" but also continuing efforts to attract new industries, whether "wet" or "dry". Also, in response to several concerns recently expressed by Councilman Williams, City Manager Brown presented a written report (dated April 2, 1986) dealing with these concerns, viz., (1) the City's storm drainage policy and the responsibility upon citizens as to their private properties; (2) the City's Housing Rehabilitation Program, which is funded through November of 1987; and (3) a "We11ness Program" sug- gested by Councilman Williams for City employees. Councilman Williams expressed appreciation of City Manager Brown's report on these concerns; however, Mr. Williams also expressed his belief that the City ought to be of more assistance in the areas of storm drainage and housing, causes for which he indicated he would continue his efforts. Several members of Council indicated that they recently received an inquiry from Mr. Ronald A. Brugge, of 1911 Dundee Lane, as to statutory provisions, if any, requiring the displaying on motor vehicles of the City's license decals. Council also indi- cated receipt of a written opinion on this matter from Mr. J. Randolph Smith, Jr., City Commonwealth's Attorney, who discussed the opinion in person before Council. Council referred this inquiry to City Manager Brown for reply.
