Easterly appeared before Council and reported on his recent appearance (as a guest speaker) before and attendance at the International Association of Fire Chiefs' meeti ng in ~troit, Michigan. City Manager Hirst reported that the acquisition of necessary remaining right-of-way for the reconstruction of Routes 57 and 58--from Booker Road to Bob Gregory street-- is in its final stages and, accordingly, the Virginia ~partment of Highways expects to advertise for bids for this construction project in the immediate future. City Manager Hirst brought to Council's attention an apparent lack of compliance on the part of a number of local downtown business establishments with the City's refuse regulations and, by such non-compliance, are not only making for unsightly conditions but also are increasing the cost of refuse collection by the City because of the additional time required of City personnel and equipment to service these establish- ments. Council concurred in the suggestion that these firms or individuals be notified in writing that compliance will be enforced.
