Council acknowledged receipt of the City'.S monthly financial report ending October 31, 1994, and receipt of th~.:Treasurer's monthly update report on investments. Upon motion, duly seconded and by unanim~:~s vote, Council authorized an appropriation of $11,887 from the City.~ Meals Tax Fund to the Hooker Field Improvement Project. City Ma~-ger Reynolds noted that Henry County had contributed $33,887 and the City had contributed only $22,000 to this community-wide proje~c, pending a re-bidding for grad- inG and a financial contribution .frOm the Martinsville Phillies. The grading project has been re-bid with receipt of a slightly lower ~ri~e and the funding from the Phillies b~d been secured. Since the field is used by Martinsville High School ,~uring baseball season, the City will match the County's contribution~y contributing an additional $11,887 towards this project. In response to questions from Mr. Lafayette Jones of 501 Second Street, it w~s noted that-the Martinsville Phillies contributed $50,000 for these improvements to the facility, they pay a fixed fee amnually to the City! for use of the field, and they contri- bute to the Cit~ through business license taxes, utilities (lights, water, sewer), meals tax, etc.
