TUESDAY, MAY 9, 1989 <br /> <br />Council referred to City Manager Brown an inquiry or complaint filed by Ms. Kay <br />Beal regarding the City's charges the past three months for utility services at <br />Mrs. Beal's residence (to which she recently moved) at Apartment 1, 29 High <br />Street. Mrs. Beal described her residence as a four-room apartment, with an · <br /> <br />unconnected electric stove, and the City's utility service charges these past <br />three months having been $52.82, $233.42, and $231.47. <br /> <br />Dr. Michael W. Hager, Director of the Virginia Museum of Natural History, <br />located in Marti. nsville at the former Joseph Martin S~oh0ol site, requested by <br />letter that, because of plans to renovate and expand'~·j[he Museum, it will be of <br />great benefit, financially as well as logistically,. if the City and the New <br />River Police Training Academy will vacate the presently-occupied and nearby <br /> <br />annex building by the forthcoming summer months, although it is recognized that <br />the lease thereon does not expire until June 30, 1990. In connection with this <br /> <br />request, City Manager Brown referred to his report presented at Council's <br /> <br />meeting held February 14, 1989, in which he recommended that the former West <br /> <br />End Day Care building be made available for use by the Training Academy and <br /> <br />that provisions be made during fiscal 1989-90 for the removal of asbestos from <br /> <br />this building, which can be accomplished more economically in the forthcoming <br /> <br />Fall following the removal by contractors of asbestos from local school <br /> <br />buildings during the 1989 Summer. With that scheduling condition, Mr. Brown <br /> <br />recommended that the Museum's request be granted and that effort be made to <br /> <br />have the five jurisdictions being served by the Training Academy participate or <br /> <br />share in the cost of removing asbestos and floor covering from the Day Care <br /> <br />building, estimated at $30,000.00, based on usage and benefits of the Training <br /> <br />Academy. Council tentatively (by unanimous action) approved the Manager's · <br /> <br />proposal, pending action by the other using jurisdictions to share in the cost <br /> <br />necessary to make the former Day Care facility available to the Training <br />Ac'aaemy, ..... <br /> <br /> <br />
