<br />1 1 <br />_Jo.- __'. <br /> <br />TUESDAY <br /> <br />SEPTEMBER 26, 1972 <br /> <br />Virginia, a political subdivision created and established pursuant to Chapter <br /> <br />33 of Title 15.1 of the CODE OF VIRGINIA (1950, and as amended), Council <br /> <br />unanimously appointed the following citizens as Directors of said Authority: <br /> <br />Mr. Thomas J. Burch; <br />Mr. G. S. Fitz-Hugh; <br />Mr. S. Sutton Flythe, Jr.; <br />Mr. Irving M. Groves, Jr.; <br />Mr. L. Randolph Isley; <br />Mr. Victor A. Lester; and <br />Mr. Joseph W. Pritchett. <br /> <br />In acknowledging receipt of additional petitions for curb-and-gutter and/or <br /> <br />sidewalk, Council directed that those petitions for sections of Jordan Street, <br /> <br />Hillcrest Avenue, and Barrows Mill Road be filed for 1973-74 consideration; <br /> <br />however, upon recommendation of Public Works Director Brown and considering <br /> <br />the following as justifiably exceptional cases, Council authorized the including <br /> <br />in the current year's construction program as extensions of current projects (a) <br /> <br />the petition for sidewalk construction along Hillcrest Avenue filed by Kearfott <br /> <br />Memorial Baptist Church and (b) the petition for curb-and-gutter along a section <br /> <br />of Oak Street, being an extension toward Askin Street. MeanWhile, in response to <br /> <br />an inquiry concerning the alledged delay in constructing curb-and-gutter along <br /> <br />Barton Street, Council was informed that not all of the property owners' shared-cost <br /> <br />funds have been collected and, too, the ultimate effect of the down-town project on <br /> <br />this street is yet unknown. <br /> <br />City Attorney David B. Worthy reported that the local American Legion is agreeable <br /> <br />to amending its recent offer pertaining to selling to the City its property at <br /> <br />19 S. Moss Street to the extent that it will accept the total purchase price <br /> <br />in cash, whereby the City might borrow the difference between said purchase price <br /> <br />and the amount currently appropriated (i.e., a difference of $10,000.00) from <br /> <br />local banks at a lesser interest rate, whereupon Council so authorized City Attorney <br /> <br />Worthy and Finance Director Yeaman to handle and proceed on such basis. <br />
