<br />TUESDAY <br /> <br />JANUARY 10, 1978 <br /> <br />-- <br /> <br />The regular semi-monthly meeting of the Council of the City of Martinsville, Virginia, <br /> <br />with Mayor William D. Hobson presiding, was held Tuesday, January 10, 1978, in the <br /> <br />Council Chamber, City Hall, beginning at 7:30 P.M., all members being present, viz., <br /> <br />William D. Hobson, Mayor; William C. Cole, Jr., Vice Mayor; Barry A. Greene; L. D. Oakes; <br /> <br />and Francis T. West. <br /> <br />After the invocation, Council approved--as recorded--the minutes of its regular <br /> <br />meeting held December 13, 1977. <br /> <br />In tentative acceptance of the Planning Commission's recommendation that the property <br /> <br />rezoning petition filed with Council on October 11, 1977, by Mrs. Kathleen O'Dell <br /> <br />(requesting the rezoning to "P-2" of her property located at 810 Starling Avenue) be <br /> <br />approved, Council called for a duly-advertised public hearing to be conducted on said <br /> <br />rezoning request at Council's forthcoming February 14th meeting. <br /> <br />Mayor Hobson and Assistant City Manager-Public Works Director George W. Brown reported <br /> <br />that, as a result of their meeting on January 10, 1978, with representatives of the U.S. <br /> <br />Postal Service and the U.S. Army (Reserve), along with representatives of the several <br /> <br />local organizations responding to Council's request from its meeting of December 13, 1977, <br /> <br />assurance has been given the City that the "downtown" postal service facility will remain <br /> <br />at its present location for at least another four years. Council went on record as <br /> <br />acknowledging with appreciation the successful efforts exerted toward this end by the <br /> <br />several local organizations to whom Council had appealed for assistance as well as the <br /> <br />Honorable Dan Daniel, Congressman, and the Honorable Virgil Goode, State Senator. <br />
