<br />2~ <br /> <br />TUESDAY <br /> <br />FEBRUARY 14, 1984 <br /> <br />difficulty and unsuccessful efforts, for the most part, in obtaining necessary rights-of-way <br /> <br />and/or construction easements, all of which now prompts the City administration to propose <br /> <br />a new approach to this project, viz., to construct curb-and-gutter along, and widen, Salem <br /> <br />Street, with an extension and reconstruction of Salem Street from Sellers Street westward <br /> <br />for a distance of approximately 240 feet, with sidewalk to be constructed along Salem Street <br /> <br />between Memorial Boulevard and Sellers Street, for which no additional right-of-way would <br /> <br />be required. In addition, to make this proposition workable, City Manager Edmonds proposed <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />the constructing of a short and protected left-lane turn into Memorial Boulevard at the <br /> <br />Salem Street intersection, along with certain other minor improvements (such as "signing" <br /> <br />and pavement markings). The cost of this revised project was estimated at $44,440.00, for <br /> <br />which sufficient funds, as hereinabove noted, are available in the current budget. In <br /> <br />response to an inquiry, this revised project cost does not include the cost (deemed minimal) <br /> <br />of relocating City electric facilities. Council expressed its concurrence with this <br /> <br />alternative proposal or new approach. <br /> <br />Upon motion, duly seconded, and by a recorded and unanimous vote, and pursuant to <br /> <br />sub-sections (1) and (2) of Section 2.l-344(a) of the CODE OF VIRGINIA (1950, and as amended), <br /> <br />Council convened into an Executive Session for the purposes of (1) considering nominees <br /> <br />for appointment to fill a vacancy on the Anchor House Commission and (2) considering the <br /> <br />disposal of certain City-owned real property. Upon reconveneing into regular session, <br /> <br />Council took no action on the second of these items but, upon nomination by Vice-Mayor <br /> <br />Oakes, and by motion (duly seconded), unanimously reappointed Dr. James E. Calkins to <br /> <br />membership on said Anchor House Commission for a four-year term, beginning retroactively <br /> <br />to September 1, 1983. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />Mayor Cole then declared this meeting adj ourned. <br /> <br />2,5.L~' \.._/,yJ:. 6'/" -...
