45 TUESDAY OCTOBER 23, 1984 Council acknowledged receipt of a Report on Audit prepared by the accounting firm of Ford, Hogg & Cobbe (CPA's) for the City's fiscal year ending June 30, 1984, as well as comments thereon (in person) by Mr. Stephen W. Kendrick, CPA, a partner in the firm, with emphasis on the Management Letter made a part of the report and to which City Manager Edmonds indicated he will respond at Council's forthcoming November 13th regular meeting. At the prior invitation extended by Council, Messrs. Kevin Laine and Jason Dove, of the Martinsville Junior Chamber of Commerce ("Jaycees"), appeared before Council and described some of the efforts and events related to the 1984 "Oktoberfest" recently sponsored and conducted by this organization as well as plans for enlarging the 1985 "Oktoberfest". Council commended Messrs. Laine and Dove and their organization for organizing and producing this outstanding project. In accepting for introduction and/or reintroduction certain ordinances proposed to amend Sections 22-62 and 22-69 and to add a new section as Section 22-70 of the City Code, pertaining to driver permits for taxicabs and for-hire cars, which acceptance was by a vote of three-to-one (Mayor Cole abstaining and Councilman Williams voting "Nay"), and noting that proposed Section 22-70 would provide rights of appeal (under certain conditions) to the City Manager, Council scheduled these amending ordinances for further action at Council's forthcoming November 13th regular meeting. Council unanimously approved (for execution by the City) an agreement with Appalachian Power Company for the purchase of electric energy at several City-owned-and-operated facilities under the terms of a recently-negotiated tariff identified as "Public Authority Tariff No.3", which tariff will replace that under which Appalachian has previously served these facilities.
