'05.3' _:l.. - TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1985 established by the Labor Department, therefore, this should not add to the project cost. We will be prepared to answer any questions that you may have regarding these projects during the September 10 Council meeting. With commendation and with "thanks", Council unanimously accepted the annual report of the City's Personnel Office and its activities for the year ended June 30, 1985. By letter dated September 3, 1985, Mr. Lawrence W. Wuensch, Executive Director of the Martinsville-Henry County Economic Development Corporation, informed Council that his agency has negotiated the sale of approximately 6.5 acres of land within Lot No.4 in the City's Industrial Park to Mr. Steve Dashoff, Pres- ident and Owner of Blue Ridge Packaging Corporation, at a price of $7,500.00 per acre as stipulated in the option agreement between the City and the Author- ity. Upon motion, duly seconded and unanimously carried, Council authorized City Manager Brown to execute on behalf of the City the option necessary to this proposed transaction. By letter dated July 30, 1985, Mr. Stafford G. Whittle, President of Church Street Holding Corporation, notified the City that the corporation has executed an option to an investment group for the purchase of the corporation's property currently leased to the City for the operation of a municipal parking lot (ident- ified as the Clay Street Parking Lot) and, therefore, the lease agreement with the City is being terminated; however, Mr. Whittle subsequently indicated to the City that usage of the parking lot may continue on a month-to-month basis, pending further developments between the corporation and the investment group.
