"'~I (1 ~~ ~ THURSDAY MAY 22, 1980 retiring on December 31, 1980. To consider this matter further, Council convened into an Executive Session (by motion, duly seconded and unanimously carried by recorded vote and pursuant to Section 2.1-344.1 of the CODE OF VIRGINIA, 1950, and as amended). Following this session, Council reconvened into regular session and announced that, by mutual agreement and "barring" unforeseen circumstances, the Director of Finance-Clerk of Council would continue his employment with the City for the next full fiscal year. Council was informed that notices have just been received from the State Compensation Board of that agency's actions on the 1980-81 budget requests of the City's several "constitutional" officers, which actions reflect a dis-allowance of certain items of expenses which would adversely affect the City's 1980-81 budget. Upon motion, duly seconded and unanimously carried, the Clerk of Council was authorized and directed to request (in writing) the Compensation Board's reconsideration thereof, particularly in view of the Board's apparent deletion of certain expense items it has heretofore approved for state cost-participation. During the course of this meeting, Council discussed many "line-item" budget requests as well as explored ways and means by which the present level of City services can be maintained at less cost or at no increased cost to the taxpayers. Meanwhile, Council concurred with Councilman West's suggestion that in-coming City Manager Don Edmonds. at an appropriate time, provide Council with a report analyzing and/or summarizing the activities and funding sources of the several "satellite" agencies (such as the Anchor Houses, the VPI Extension Service, the Senior Citizens program, FOCUS, etc.) currently being financially supported in part by the City.
