<br />~ "\ ;:" <br />f;'~' tJ: <br /> <br />TUESDAY <br /> <br />OCTOBER 24, 1972 <br /> <br />Planning District Commission and that Councilman Lester wished to resign from <br /> <br />membership on the City Planning Commission and in turn would accept appointment <br /> <br />as representative of Council on the West Piedmont Planning District Commission, <br /> <br />to replace Mr. West, for the current term of Councilman Lester. On motion duly <br /> <br />seconded, Council unanimously approved these appointments and/or reappointments. <br /> <br />Following this action, Mayor West explained that the Charter places the <br /> <br />responsibility on the Mayor to fill vacancies on the City Planning Commission, <br /> <br />whereupon he announced the appointment of Mr. George Nease, to replace Mr. <br /> <br />Morton W. Lester as a member of the City Planning Commission, Mr. Nease's term <br /> <br />to be coincident with the Planning Commission term of Mr. Lester, meaning that <br /> <br />Mr. Nease's term would expire on June 30, 1974. <br /> <br />Mr. John Richmond, Superintendent of Schools, appeared before Council to report <br /> <br />on the recent opening of bids calling for the construction of a Vocational Shop <br /> <br />on the grounds of Martinsville Senior High School, the three bids having been: <br /> <br />J. V. Richardson, Inc.; <br />Stanley Bowles Corporation; and <br />Frith Construction Company. <br /> <br />$577 .250 <br />$610,900 <br />$606,500 <br /> <br />Superintendent Richmond explained that approximately 45% of the funds to construct <br /> <br />the shop would come from Federal and/or State sources but that the low bid plus <br /> <br />incidental expenses made it necessary to request that the City's appropriation be <br /> <br />increased a maximum of $25,000 for the School Shop project, whereupon Council <br /> <br />unanimously agreed to this additional sum. Mr. Richmond explained that the contract <br /> <br />would be executed the following day, between the School Board and J. V. Richardson, <br /> <br />Inc., the low bidder. It was further agreed to postpone until a later time final <br /> <br />determination of the amount of money it would be necessary to borrow from the <br /> <br />State's Literary Fund, pursuant to Council's authorization given on May 9, 1972, <br /> <br />at the outset of the Vocational Shop building project. <br /> <br />"'_._--_._"---~--"---"."-~~,-^~,~_."~"~."_.~,.._----~,...""'-~..._,._,..._,..,"-,,~_._._-,---_..._-----_._"~"-'~,..._...-"-_.._".."''',....~..',''"~._,',,..''..,..,,'';"-'"..~'-,.,~- <br />
