TUESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1992 <br />A regular semi-monthly meeting of the Council of the City of <br />Martinsville, Virginia, with Mayor Allan McClain presiding, was held <br />Tuesday, December 8, 1992 in the Council Chamber, City Hall, beginning <br />at 9:30 A.M. All members of Council were present: Allan McClain, <br />Mayor; George B. Adams, Jr., Vice-Mayor; Steve M. Draper; L. D. Oakes; <br />and Clyde L. Williams. <br /> <br />After the invocation, followed by Mayor McClain's cordial welcome to <br />visitors present, Council approved the minutes of its November 24, 1992 <br />meeting as circulated. <br /> <br />Council was presented with the 1991 AAA Pedestrian Safety Award. <br />Several members of the City's Transportation Safety Commission were in <br />attendance to present the award to Mayor McClain and members of <br />Council. <br /> <br />Council considered acceptance and appropriation of a $3,428 grant from <br />the State Library and Archives for the purpose of installing a fire <br />detection system in the Circuit Court Clerk's Office. Mr. Ashby <br />Pritchett, Clerk of the Circuit Court, was present to respond to <br />questions from Council and explained how the system was proposed to <br />work. Several members of Council gave suggestions to Mr. Pritchett on <br />how the annual cost of operating the system might be lessened through <br />directly tieing into the Communications Center rather than using an <br />outside vendor. Mr. Pritchett stated that he would discuss the matter <br />with the Chief of Police. Upon motion, duly seconded and by unanimous <br />vote, Council accepted the grant and approved the supplemental <br />appropriation. <br /> <br /> <br />
