<br />8 <br /> <br />TUESDAY <br /> <br />SEPTEMBER 12, 1972 <br /> <br />current budget, with balance payable within the 1973-74 budget year and carrying <br /> <br />an annual interest rate of 6%. Council directed that the Legion be apprised of <br /> <br />Council's appreciation of the Legion's cooperation in this matter. <br /> <br />City Manager Noland informed Council that, with no shelter facilities presently <br /> <br />available to accommodate City Transit patrons waiting at a central point for bus <br /> <br />service and/or transfer, it may be advisable for the City to provide such a <br /> <br />facility on the rear portion of the City's Fayette Street Parking Lot; however, <br /> <br />Mr. Noland further informed Council that he has been informally advised that the <br /> <br />Henry County Board of Supervisors will make available for such purpose the City's <br /> <br />former parking meter test shop (being a portion of the City's former shop facility), <br /> <br />now owned by Henry County, at no rental cost to the City, on a month-to-month <br /> <br />basis, with a save-harmless clause; whereupon, Council unanimously expressed its <br /> <br />appreciation to the Supervisors and authorized the usage of said property for such <br /> <br />purpose and on the conditions stipulated by the Supervisors. <br /> <br />Upon motion, duly seconded and unanimously carried, Council expressed concurrence <br /> <br />with Mayor West's letter dated September 8, 1972, in which he delineated present <br /> <br />areas in which our citizens might be especially concerned, viz., (1) revitalization <br /> <br />of downtown; (2) environment (clean streets, air and lots, and orderly trash <br /> <br />collection); and (3) traffic, parking, and location of stop lights, etc., and--to <br /> <br />this end--established the following committees, in addition to that previously <br /> <br />named for the revitalization of downtown, with members of Council named thereto as <br /> <br />chairmen and coordinators: <br /> <br />Environment <br />Councilman Hobson; <br />Mr. George W. Brown, representing the City administration; and <br />Mrs. Sallie M. Clark, representing the public. <br />Traffic & Parking <br />Vice-Mayor Boaz; <br />Mr. Irving R.
