~ 8!! TUESDAY FEBRUARY 28, 1984 the Virginia Municipal League opposes because of its possible adverse effect on State funding to local municipalities. In response to Councilmember Severt's query as to when, and in what manner, the Council should respond to the City School Board's recent proposal that a joint Council-School Board committee be established to study and recommend ways and means of providing (by private enterprise) affordable housing within the City, especially for young married couples, members of Council suggested that this subject might be broached during a forthcoming tour with School Board members of the City School System's physical facilities, whereas City Manager Edmonds suggested that the formation of such a committee might best be undertaken in conjunction with the presentation to Council in the near future of an updated Comprehensive Plan for the City. With regard to Council's February 14th approval or the minutes of its regular meeting held January 24, 1984, with the proviso (requested by Mayor Cole) that further clarification be made of that section of said minutes covering Council's acceptance of City Manager Edmonds' recommendations made a part of his report (included in said minutes) entitled, "Sewage Treatment Issues", a proposed addendum to those minutes was offered, which Council accepted upon the condition that the pertinent section of said minutes be re-written to reflect and incorporate the specific authorizations set forth in the proposed addendum, viz., that Council authorized (1) Wiley & Wilson to proceed with the preparation of detailed plans for digester and odor control improvements at the City's water pollution control (sewage treatment) plant, at an estimated cost of $60,000.00, and (2) the City's administrative staff to resume negotiations with the Henry County Public Service Authority's administrative staff for diverting the City's Jones Creek Interceptor flow to the PSA's Koehler treatment plant.
