r::q , ! , , TUESDAY JUNE 13, 1972 A letter of application, dated June 8, 1972, for a Special-Use Permit--filed by the Honorable J. English Ford, Judge of the Sixth Regional Juvenile & Domestic Relations Court--to allow the operation of a Probation House at the southwest corner of Cleveland and Brown Streets, was referred to the Planning Commission for its consideration and recommendation. Subsequent thereto, Mr. William G. Pannill, member of the Planning Commission, inquired of Council and City Attorney Cubine as to whether--in view of conflicting opinions--the Commission has jurisdiction in this matter. After hearing from Mr. Leon Globman, Chairman of the Planning Commission, who urged that City Manager Noland's proposed 1972-73 budget be revised to include additional funds--to be financed, if necessary, by increased taxation--in anticipation of major expenditures necessary to begin carrying out recommendations expected as a result of the current t1downtownt1 study, and additional comments as to how to finance such expenditures, Council placed on first reading--and called for a duly-advertised public hearing for its forthcoming June 27th meeting thereon--said proposed budget, as revised pursuant to Council's instructions to City Manager Noland, with Vice-Mayor West pointing out some of the revisions, particularly as to Welfare expenditures, which would enable Council to adopt a budget predicated on no increases in real estate taxes and motor vehicle license taxes as initially proposed. Upon petition of the Martinsville Volunteer Fire Company, Council renewed and/or extended--for the forthcoming Annual Bazaar (June 26, 1972 through July 1, 1972, at Brown Street Field)--the Special-Use Permit conditionally issued June 8, 1971 for the years 1971, 1972 and 1973.
