<br />TUESDAY
<br />
<br />MARCH 28, 1978
<br />
<br />.-
<br />
<br />regional meeting to be held in Blacksburg, Virginia, on April 4th. Pending receipt and
<br />
<br />consideration and/or adoption of the City's 1978-79 budget, Council withheld formal action
<br />
<br />on said requests, meanwhile directing that a letter from the Council be forwarded to said
<br />
<br />Board, pointing out that--in the Council's opinion--these several officials are discharging
<br />
<br />the duties of their offices in a commendable manner.
<br />
<br />Coucil acknowledged receipt of the following bid proposals, submitted in response to the City
<br />
<br />Manager's recent invitation, for the conduct of the City's annual audits:

<br />Upon motion, duly seconded and unanimously carried, Council awarded the annual audit contract to

<br />
<br />and 1980.
<br />
<br />Mr. Tarleton R. Andes, Chairman of the Martinsvil1e Exchange Club's Freedom Shrine (Exhibit)
<br />
<br />Committee, appeared before Council and requested (on behalf of said Club) that Council designate
<br />
<br />the first-floor lobby of City Hall as the permanent site for said exhibit, with the Exchange Club
<br />
<br />proposing to frame and suspend, with appropriate fixtures, the three sections of this exhibit, at
<br />
<br />the Exchange Club's expense, expressing a preference for this location over the second-floor
<br />
<br />lobby site proposed by City Manager Noland, reasons for which the City Manager presented in his
<br />
<br />memoranda dated January 13, 1978 and March 24, 1978. After some discussion, and upon motion (duly
<br />
<br />seconded) to "table" this matter, and with Vice Mayor Cole abstaining, the remaining members of
<br />
<br />Council present voted in favor of the motion.
