:'" 8 TUESDAY JANUARY 9, 1979 As to the report itself, because of the potential of many millions of net revenue dollars in future years, and because of the gravity of Council's upcoming decision, I recommend that Council's next move be to arrange an early meeting with a highly regarded "investment counselor" who has a broad background in and knowledge of public debt service planning and scheduling. The conference should be only after the counselor has studied the committee report. There may be a legal method acceptable to the investment community which would fold the early years' shortfall into the debt service. The counselor would know whether the City might consider such an option. Upon motion duly seconded and unanimously carried, Council adopted the following "Grievance Procedure for Employees", replacing that formerly in effect, to conform with State statutes, and as placed on first reading by Council at its meeting held December 12, 1978: Sec. 9-1 Purpose Whereas, the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia has enacted legislation requiring every County, City and Town in Virginia which has more than fifteen (15) employees to establish by June 30, 1974, and subsequently amend, a Grievance Procedure for its employees to afford an immediate and fair method for the resolution of disputes which may arise between such public employer and its employees, and, WHEREAS, it is the desire of the City of Martinsville, Virginia, to enact and implement a fair and equitable grievance procedure for resolving disputes that may arise between its employees and the City government, Therefore, in consideration of the benefits to accrue to the government of the City of Martinsville, Virginia, and its employees, the following procedure shall be followed in resolving grievable matters for which a grievance is properly filed by an employee.
