TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1985 $48,185.00 submitted by Prillaman & Pace, Inc., Martinsville, Virginia. Upon City Manager Brown's recommendation, Council unanimously accepted the lower of the two bids, viz., that of Prillaman & Pace in the amount of $48,185.00 (being $4,138.00 in excess of the City's estimate), and authorized City Manager Brown to execute, on behalf of the City, a contract with Prillaman & Pace for said sidewalk construction. Council unanimously accepted a check in the amount of $20,418.07 representing the City's share of "excess" revenue generated by the Henry-Martinsville Health Department during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1985, as well as the City's share of some unexpended funds from that agency's 1984-85 budget. Council noted that the City's 1985-86 budget anticipates the sum of $8,000.00 from such source. By letter dated September 9, 1985, Mrs. Judy P. Hughes, Project Director/Counselor for Citizens Against Family Violence, requested that Council treat the City's 1985-86 contribution of $3,000.00 to this agency as a "forgiveable loan" although the condition attached by Council to this contribution (in Council's adoption of the City's 1985-86 budget) provided that said sum would be repaid and/or returned to the City if State funding (i.e., a State grant) is received during 1985-86, with Mrs. Hughes reporting that such funding and/or grant has been received and, further, because of increased demand upon the agency for its services, all avail- able funds will be required to meet the increased demand, including the City's contribution. The activities and services of the agency were supported by letter from Mrs. Pat Conrad, Director of the City's Social Services Department; and, the request by Mrs. Hughes was supported in person by Mrs. Paula Burnette, President of the agency. The increased demand for the agency's services was attributed to the relocation of its headquarters from Ridgeway, Virginia, to within the City, ",. 157
