504 TUESDAY DECEMBER 23, 1980 (2) Direct the City Attorney to study the joint contract in regard to the County's obligation to participate with the City in the interim improvements and, at the same time, direct Wiley & Wilson to study the long-term question with regard to the City's needs only. (3) To call a meeting with County officials to resolve this impasse. I think a motion is in order, tonight, to meet with County officials to discuss the matter. B. Various Agencies Receiving Financial Support from the City's General Fund. City Manager Edmonds reported that there are eleven such agencies, one of which--the Chapter 10 Board--has six sub-agencies. This report was compiled at the request of several members of Council, with Council suggesting that, when time permits, City Manager Edmonds further analyze and evaluate the activities of these agencies, particularly as to whether there be any overlapping of services provided. C. A summary of City Manager Edmonds' findings on traffic conditions along Myrtle Road, in response to complaints registered by Myrtle Road residents in connection with the proposed apartment project off Myrtle Road, for which a Special-Use Permit was issued December 9, 1980, to Garrett Wells & Associates. D. A response to recommendations recently submitted by Dewberry, Nealon & Davis, Consulting Engineers, concerning the operation of the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant, indicating that these recommendations have been or are being implemented under current staffing arrangements and (that) the need for additional personnel will be under ongoing review and will be more specifically considered during the development of the forthcoming 1981-82 City Budget. E. Joint Action Plans of the Municipal Electric Power Association of Virginia. City Manager Edmonds reported that this organization, of which the City of Martinsville is a member, is moving positively in a joint action power project to obtain priority for the MEPAV and/or its members for hydro-electric development of five--and, perhaps a sixth, if released--U.S. Corps of Engineers' dams situated in Virginia, Kentucky, and West Virginia. City Manager Edmonds further reported that R. W. Beck & Associates has been selected to coordinate the project at an immediate (through June 30, 1981) cost of $45,000.00, of which the City's cost will range from $4,400.00 to $7,aOO.00, and that the City should signify its intent by January 14, 1981. Council took this matter under advisement, pending final action thereon at its forthcoming January 13th meeting.
