<br />3 <br /> <br />TUESDAY <br /> <br />FEBRUARY 22, 1983 <br /> <br />Council referred to City Manager Edmonds certain observations made by Mr. Henry Gilbert <br /> <br />(of Radio Station WHEE) on the recent improvements to the Council Chamber's sound system. <br /> <br />City Manager Edmonds reported that the City has incurred costs (over and above normal costs) <br /> <br />of some $12,000.00 in labor, materials, and equipment operation necessitated by the unusually- <br /> <br />heavy snowfall which occurred February 11th-12th, in the removal of snow and ice from City <br /> <br />streets. <br /> <br />In extending best wishes to Mr. George W. Brown, Assistant City Manager and Public Works <br /> <br />Director, on the occasion of his birthday on February 22nd, Council also commended Mr. <br /> <br />Brown for his service to the City and its citizens during his employment with the City, <br /> <br />which began in June of 1951. <br /> <br />Upon motion, duly seconded and unanimously carried, Council reappointed Mayor Cole to the <br /> <br />Board of Directors of the New River Regional Police Academy for a new one-year beginning <br /> <br />April 1, 1983. <br /> <br />Council also unanimously reappointed, for two-year terms ending March 31, 1985, Mrs. <br /> <br />Marjorie D. Midkiff, The Reverend R. T. Anderson, and Messrs. Jud A. Gustin, James W. <br /> <br />Hopkins, and Walter W. Massie to membership on the Martinsville-Henry County Clean <br /> <br />Community Commission. Council held in abeyance, pending receipt of a list of nominees <br /> <br />from the Commission chairman and/or nominees from members of Council, the appointing of <br /> <br />members to the Commission to succeed present members (Mrs. Dennis W. Hammack and Messrs. <br /> <br />J. Burness Frith, Herbert O. Hughes, and Walter Milstead) who have elected not to be <br /> <br />reappointed at the expiration of their current terms on March 31, 1983. <br />
