TUESDAY, APRIL 14, 1998 A regular, semi-monthly meeting of the Council of the City of Martinsville, Virginia, with Mayor George B. Adams, Jr. presiding, was held Tuesday, April 14, 1998, in the Council Chamber, City Hall, beginning at 7:00 P.M. The following members of Council were present: George B. Adams, Jr., Mayor; Dr. Mark A. Crabtree, Vice-Mayor; Bruce H.T. Dallas, Elizabeth H. Haskell and M. Gene Teague. 2'0:7 After the invocation, provided by Vice-Mayor Mark Crabtree, and followed by the Mayor's cordial welcome to visitors present, Council approved, upon motion duly seconded, and by unanimous vote, the minutes of its meeting of March 24, 1998. Next on the agenda Council considered Business from the Floor. There were no speakers under this item. Council next considered a request by the ANCHOR organization for the adoption of a Resolution by the City, agreeing to participate in ANCHOR's Combined Local Plan with Henry and Patrick Counties and serve as fiscal agent for their Virginia Juvenile Community Crime Control Act grant. Mr. Curtis Nolan, Administrator of ANCHOR, was present to discuss the request. Mr. Nolan stated that the VJCCCA had initiated a new procedure for the filing of Combined Local Plans which requires that one locality be designated as fiscal agent for the Combined Plan, rather than each locality needing a separate Plan, accepting and disbursing funds individually. Mr. Nolan then asked that the City serve as the fiscal agent for the three jurisdictions, and stated that the funds are handled as a pass-through, just as when the funds were under a block grant three years before and the City then served as the fiscal agent. Upon motion duly seconded and by unanimous vote, Council adopted the following Resolution: RESOLUTION WHEREAS, the Counties of Henry and Patrick and the City of Martinsville, Virginia, have previously joined together to establish the ANCHOR Commission pursuant to Section 16.1-315 of the Code of Virginia
