<br />t-C.~ C <br />:i lJ <br /> <br />TUESDAY <br /> <br />AUGUST 28, 1979 <br /> <br />Our thrust at this time is working with the residents of the Rives <br />Road sections of Martinsville and the Carver Lane area of Bassett <br />in cleaning up and beautifying their immediate areas and making <br />examples of them for other residents to follow. These two areas <br />were chosen for their cooperation and support as well as their <br />visibility to the general public. With a little more publicity, <br />the Clean Community Commission will soon be thought of as a common <br />idea, not as if it were a group of vigilantes out to "get" people. <br />The educational process will be slow, for sure, but we hope that <br />it will instill pride into the area's residents. <br /> <br />Council received, too, the following "Water Systems Improvements--UDAG" construction <br /> <br />schedule, pursuant to Council's recent inquiry thereon: <br /> <br />Activity <br /> <br />Starting Date <br /> <br />Completion Date <br /> <br />I.

Reactivation of a pumping station <br />at the intersection of Beaver Creek <br />and Hairston Branch. <br /> <br />June, 1981 <br /> <br />December, 1981 <br /> <br />Assistant City Manager-Public Works Director George W. Brown informed Council that although <br /> <br />much of the information required for the filing of the recently-authorized preliminary application <br /> <br />for Federal Community Development Act funds to finance the cost of rehabilitating certain <br /> <br />existing residential structures within the City has already been compiled by City personnel, <br /> <br />the retaining by the City of a consultant (with expertise in this field) to guide and oversee <br /> <br />the work of City personnel in this compilation process would probably enhance the City's <br /> <br />_~_._~_~,___"_._._,"".,_",_._,._"..,......~_.,,_..~,.,w..'''''''''''''''_''__'_'.'__"_~W'_;'''_'"___~~ <br />
