<br />.. <br />4 <br /> <br />TUESDA Y <br /> <br />MARCH 10. 1953 <br /> <br />...-. <br />" <br /> <br />The Martinsville Planning Commission, at its meeting of <br />February 26, 1953, unanimously agreed to recommEnd to the <br />City Council that the number of members of the Commission <br />be increased from five to seven. We make this recommendation <br />with the following thoughts in mind: <br /> <br />.,- <br /> <br />During the past few years the Commission has had to consider <br />matters which, we feel, are of such importanee that a wider <br />scope of thought is needed, and at the same time a wider <br />representation of conmnmity interests. Also, we wish to <br />point out that the members of the Commission all have <br />individual and personal business interests which require, <br />of eourse, the majority of their time. For this reason it is <br />diffieul t to transact the busine ss at hand with only a three <br />man quorum. We believe that a seven member body would be able <br />to fmetion more smoothly since there will, at all times, be <br />at least four members on hand whenever deeisions are made. <br /> <br />m~ <br />~~ <br />~i! <br />i <br /> <br />For the herein stated reasons we respeetfully recommend that <br />Ci ty Council consider the appointment of two more members to <br />the Martinsville Planning Commission. Should the City Couneil <br />require more diseussion of this with the Commission, we will <br />be glad to meet in a joint meeting at Couneil's eonvenience to <br />discuss the matter f'urther. <br /> <br />No action, however, was taken by Council upon this recommendation and request <br /> <br />pending a study of legal techniealities involved by City Attorney Stone. <br /> <br />In diseussing the proposed bond ordinanees (for utility system improvements) <br /> <br />plaeed on first reading February 10, 1953, Council unanimously a~r,reed to hold <br /> <br />,- <br /> <br />a speeial meeting for aetion on same on Tuesday, March 17, 1953, in the Couneil <br /> <br />Chamber, City Hall, at 7:30 P.M. <br /> <br />By appropriate resolution Couneil offered its sympathy and eondolences to <br />immediate members of the family of the late D. J. Holland, who faithfully and <br /> <br />efficiently served as a member of the City Council and of its committees for <br /> <br />,- <br /> <br />a number of years. <br /> <br />Coune il wa s adj ourned . <br /> <br />~\"~ ~"-I . <br /> <br />W.
