TUESDAY, JANUARY 14. 1992 <br />revisions, for the City Manager to execute a new five-year lease <br />agreement between the City and the Martinsville Phillies. <br /> <br />'Upon motion, duly seconded, and by a vote of 3 "yes" and 2 "no" (Mayor <br />McClain and Vice-Mayor Groden), Council approved, with revisions, a <br />letter from Mayor McClain to the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors <br />formally asking the County's governing body to restate their commitment <br />to a joint solution to the community's solid waste needs.
