u6 TUESDAY DECEMBER II, 1979 Council also acknowledged receipt of a verbal report from the City's Building Official on the implementation of the State-mandated "back-flow" device installation program. In connection with the Finance Director's financial report for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 1979 and with certain suggestions therein, Council unanimously (I) directed the reserving from the Electric Fund's surplus account such amount or amounts as have been set aside in this fund's escrow account established by Council under date of April 10, 1979, and (2) appropriated from the General Fund's surplus account the sum of $44,000.00 as a supplement to 1979-80 funds already budgeted for the CBD project. Council concurred in Councilman West's suggestion that construction work, such as was recently undertaken by Central Telephone Company along East Church Street near its inter- section with Brookdale Road, be scheduled so as to cause the least inconvenience to the public and, particularly, to coincide with the seasons in which the lowest traffic flow generally occurs. Council acknowledged receipt of a copy of an "Abstract of Votes" cast by City voters in the general election held November 6, 1979 in which Mr. Jesse D. Clift was re-elected Clerk of Circuit Court for an eight-year term beginning January I, 1980, and in which incumbent members from the Thirteenth District to the Virginia House of Delegates were re-elected, (viz., Ms. Mary Sue Terry and Messrs. A. L. Philpott and Claude V. Swanson), as was Senator Virgil H. Goode, Jr., from the Twentieth District to the Virginia Senate. Upon recommendation of City Manager Noland, Council authorized the executing of the several contracts necessary for the acquisition of a data processing system for the City, to be coordinated with a similar authorization by the Henry County Board of Supervisors
