TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1992 <br /> <br />Mrs. Judy D. Hodges as Acting Clerk of Council at an established salary <br />of $200 per meeting until Mrs. Janice Lawson resumes these duties. <br /> <br />Upon motion, duly seconded and by unanimous vote, Council gave <br />approval, with minor revisions, for the City Manager to execute a five- <br />year lease agreement between Hooker Furniture Corporation and the City <br />for the recreational facility and improvements known as Hooker Field <br />(currently English Field). <br /> <br />Mr. Heater explained that the current lease between the City and Hooker <br />Furniture did not expire until December 31, 1992.

The significant change in the new <br />lease was that English Field was renamed as Hooker Field. <br /> <br />Council considered authorizing the City Manager to execute a new five- <br />year lease agreement between the City and the Martinsville Phillies for' <br />the facilities at Hooker Field (formerly English Field). After much <br />discussion, Mr. Tim Cahill, owner of the Phillies, agreed to the <br />following lease amounts: $5,936 for 1992; $8,073 for 1993; $8,426 for <br />1994; $8,798 for 1995; and $9,188 for 1996. The lease payments were <br />designed to compensate the City for the costs it lncurs in connection <br />with its obligations under the lease. The expenses include' labor for <br />field preparation and materials, equipment usage, materials and <br />electric service. Upon motion, duly seconded and by a vote of 4 - 0, <br />with Vice-Mayor Groden abstaining, Council gave approval, with minor <br /> <br /> <br />
