TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 1994 <br /> <br />Upon motion, duly seconded, and unanimous vote, Council adopted a <br />Resolution requesting the Virginia' Department of Transportation to <br /> <br />undertake a study to update the 1985 Area Transportation Plan for the <br /> <br />City and authorizing the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of <br /> <br />Agreement for such study. City Manager Reynolds noted that this would <br /> <br />assist the City in the update of its Comprehensive Plan. The adopted <br /> <br />Resolution reads as follows: <br /> <br />WHEREAS, in 1969 and 1985 the Council of the City of Martins- <br />ville, Virginia, did adopt Martinsville Area Transportation Plans <br />as provided by the Virginia Department of Transportation; and <br /> <br />W~EREAS, the City of Martinsville and the immediate ad3acent por- <br />tions of Henry County, including the Town of Ridgeway, are becom- <br />ing increasingly more urbanized with significant shared transpor- <br />tation concerns; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, an up-to-date thoroughfare plan reflecting the needs of <br />the City is essential in providing a document to serve as a guide <br />for planning and programming highway improvements to meet exist- <br />ing and future needs; now, therefore, <br /> <br />BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Martinsville, Vir- <br />ginia, in regular session assembled June 14, 1994, that it does <br />hereby request the Virginia Department of Transportation to <br />undertake a study update of the current 1985 Area Transportation <br />Plan for the City in accordance with the policies and procedures <br />of the Virginia Department of Transportation; and <br /> <br />BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by said Council that it does hereby autho- <br />rize its City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Agreement with <br />all involved parties to accomplish this study. <br /> <br />Upon motion, duly seconded, and unanimous vote, Council approved a <br />waiver and refund of Alarm Ordinance penalties that had been assessed <br />for FY93-94. In June 1993 Council had amended the Alarm Ordinance (to <br />be effective July 1, 1993) thereby enacting a penalty for false alarms <br />received by the 911 Communications Center in excess of six during each <br />fiscal year. The Communications Center was unable to enact this <br />procedure until April 1994, thus the owners of alarm systems were not <br />aware on a timely basis of these charges. Some of the owners had paid <br />their penalties, but several had not. It was noted that, effective <br /> <br /> <br />
