6 TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 12, 1972 Mr. Cubine further stated that he has consistently, sincerely and to the best of his ability discharged his duties as City Attorney and that no member of Council has indicated in any way that his services have not been satisfactory. Councilman Hartford stated that he was not in accord with the motion for the reasons that no one has claimed that Mr. Cubine's services and performance have been dissatisfactory and that, should they have been, he should have been so advised and put on notice and that action to terminate his services should be taken only after such notice and only after he had failed to heed such notice. Further comments by both Mr. West and Mr. Cubine made reference to letters from Mr. West (dated July 31, 1972, August 28, 1972, and September 11, 1972) to Mr. Cubine and Mr. Cubine's replies to the first two such letters, following which Mr. Cubine suggested that--if Council desires--his services be terminated at a point in this meeting, viz., 8:00 P.M., September 12, 1972. The motion, with second, was accordingly amended and carried (Ayes: Messrs. West, Hobson, and Lester; Against: Mr. Hartford; Vice-Mayor Boaz did not vote); whereupon Mr. Cubine vacated his desk and Mr. Worthy was named to succeed him for a tenure beginning immediately, i.e., effective September 13, 1972. Council then took up its regular order of business, as per prepared agenda, by considering a report of the Planning Commission with regard to Mr. Earle W. Greene's Application for a Special-Use Permit (filed June 13, 1972) to allow construction of an apartment complex on property owned by Mr. George C. Salmons, situated on the south side of East Church Street (Route 58 East) and the east side of Salmons Street, in which report fue Commission recommended issuance of such Special-Use Permit subject to certain conditions and stipulations. Council was informed that neither Mr. Greene nor Mr. Salmons was able to attend this meeting because both, of necessity, had to be out of town. Meanwhile, in tentative acceptance of the Commission's report and recommendations, Council called for a duly-advertised public hearing to be conducted on said application and the Commission's recommendations at Council's forthcoming October 10th meeting.
