:50 TUESDAY MAY 8, 1984 Road") situated outside of the City's south corporate limits, requested permission, at their expense, to connect their premises to an existing City sewer line (i.e., inter- ceptor line), either direct or into City-owned manholes feeding the interceptor line. At the time this interceptor line was constructed, sometime before 1968, three other area residents were given permission to tap into the manholes although, it was reported, only two of these residents actually made the connections. Prompting the petitioners for sewer service was the reported failure of their individual septic tank systems and the unavailability of service at the present time from the Henry County Public Service Authority; however, it was pointed out that, under the terms and conditions of the "1974" sewer service agreement between the City of Martinsville and the Public Service Authority, which agreement City Attorney Worthy was asked to study as to its application in this case, permission for City sewer service may first be required from the Public Service Authority. In any event, Council authorized the filing by the City, on behalf of the petitioners, a formal request to the Public Service Authority in order that, if permission is granted by the Authority, the City might provide the needed service in the event the PSA does not intend serving the area although, it was further reported, the PSA does contemplate serving the area. In accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1-344(a), Subsections (1) and (6), of the CODE OF VIRGINIA (1950, and as amended), and upon motion, duly seconded and unanimously carried by a recorded vote, Council convened into an Executive Session for the purposes of (1) considering nominees for appointment to various City boards and commissions for terms beginning July 1, 1984, and (2) considering a legal matter. Upon reconvening into regular session, Council took no actions on these matters.
