] ~ TUESDAY DECEMBER 27. 1966 The regular semi-monthly meeting of the Council of the City of Martinsville, Virginia, with Mayor F. T. Renick, M.D., presiding, was held Tuesday, December 27, 1966, in the Council Chamber, City Hall, beginning at 7:30 P.M. All members of Council were present, viz., Dr. F. T. Renick (Mayor); E. E. Stone (Vice-Mayor); Harry L. Boaz; W. Donald Hartford; and Francis T. West. After the invocation, Council approved as recorded the minutes of its regular meeting held December 13, 1966. Upon the occasion of the retirement (effective December 31, 1966) of Mr. Jesse W. Chambers, Caretaker at the City's Water Impounding Reservoir since June 16, 1956, and in recognition of his faithful and efficient service as an employee, Council presented Mr. Chambers with a check, in the amount of fifty ($50.00) dollars. In connection with the Patrick Henry PTA's Safety Committee's traffic safety requests filed with Council on November 22, 1966, City Manager Noland suggested that owners of property along the north side of East Church Street Extended, from the First Presbyterian Church to Booker Road, be invited to file a petition for sidewalk construction (on a shared-cost basis) along said north side for Council's consideration in its forthcoming 1967-68 budget. City Manager Noland also informed Council that a blinker signal light, if in the City's stock, can be installed at the intersection of Booker Road and East Church Street Extended within the near future. Upon motion, Council unanimously accepted the Ma~agerls suggestions, thereby authorizing the extending of an invitation to the property owners to file a petition for said sidewalk construction (on a shared-cost basis) for consideration during the 1967-68 budget preparation. Contingent upon the outcome of this petition would be the requested cross-walk opposite the school's East Church Street entrance.
