Appropriated the sum of $7,950.00 for the purchase of new street-name signs, $4,200.00 of which from General Fund surplus and $3,750.00 from a State-Federal grant; and D. Appropriated the sum of $6,000.00 to finance the cost of an energy conservation study of the Municipal Building and nearby Fire Station, this amount being from General Fund surplus ($4,500.00 of which was received in fiscal 1979-80 from the Federal Government, with a portion of this grant to be refunded to reflect a reduced grant of $3,175.00 and the City's net cost at $2,825.00). City Manager Edmonds informed Council that, as a result of a recent conference with officials of the Virginia Department of Health, the operating permit issued by this agency for the City's water treatment plant can now be interpreted as allowing a maximum treatment of 6,000,000 gallons per day on a monthly average rather than, as heretofore interpreted, a maximum of 6,000,000 gallons on anyone day. Meanwhile, City Manager Edmonds reported, this agency is seeking a limitation on the drawdown of the City's Beaver Creek Water Impounding Reservoir and, too, wants assurance that the City is making efforts toward obtaining additional raw water supplies. City Manager Edmonds also reported that problems evoking the State Water Control Board's special order of August 5, 1980, and pertaining to sewage overflows in the Jones Creek area, have been resolved. At City Manager Edmonds' suggestion, concurred in by City Attorney Worthy as to legality, Council unanimously authorized the City Manager to forward property rezoning petitions, as received, directly to the City's Planning Commission in order to expedite the processing of such petitions which, heretofore, have awaited Council's referral.
