.-t ;.., !.l TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 26, 1967 originally. Meanwhile, other interested citizens present deferred comment on the proposed closing until at Council's next regular meeting scheduled for October 10th, at which time Council will continue the public hearing and attempt to formalize a definite policy governing procedures to be followed in street-closing cases, as recommended by the Planning Commission, which report and recommendation Council accepted. City Manager Noland recommended, also, that in such closing matters Council conduct public hearings and define requirements of petitioners in order that the regulations set forth in both the State and City statutes be fully complied with. City Manager Noland reported on the informal conference held this date with Mr. L. B. Wales, Jr., Vice-President of Wheat & Company and financial consultant to the City, in connection with the proposed issuing of bonds already authorized, indicating that additional information will be forthcoming from Mr. Wales which will require Council's immediate decision thereon. Pursuant to recent request of Council, City Manager Noland presented a tabulation of practices and usages of other Virginia municipalities with regard to data processing procedures, this being in connection with Mr. Noland's recent recommendation that a feasibility study for the City by an independent consultant be authorized. Council "tabled" this matter for further study. In connection with the proposed widening and improving of Mulberry Road Extension, between Starling Avenue and Cleveland Street, Council authorized the payment of $1,567.00 to Mrs. H. I. Tuggle, Sr., for right-of-way and d~ages which, when deed is executed and with necessary construction easements yet to be obtained from other property owners, will enable the City to schedule construction of this project in the Spring of 1968.
