TUESDAY, MAY 10, 1988 <br /> <br />cited an example, although against self-interest, wherein the City has <br />purchased lawn-care services (for the City Hall lawn) from his CHEMLAWN firm, <br />an action which Mr. McClain described as being a luxury the City can not <br />afford, particularly inasmuch as less expensive options (such as through or <br />with prison labor, etc.) are available and have heretofore been used. Mr.- <br />McClain also pointed to the cost proposed for physical examinations for the <br />City's fire-fighting personnel, which cost he termed excessive in light of OSHA <br />standards or requirements. After some discussion, in which City Manger Brown <br />maintained that not only are local citizens getting their money's-worth but <br />also the City has revenue problems, Council adopted Councilman Groden's revised <br />motion, duly seconded, that specifications and "parameters" be established by <br />Council on which bids for'conducting the suggested study (and/or performance <br />audit) and for reporting findings and ways and means of effecting efficiency <br />should be invited. Named as a committee to develop such specifications (for <br />Council's consideration) were Councilmen McClain and Cole and City Manager <br />Brown. <br /> <br />In accordance with the requirements of Section 2.1-344 of the CODE OF VIRGINIA <br />(1950, and as amended) and with the appropriate subsections thereof, and upon <br />motion, duly seconded and unanimously carried by a recorded vote, Council <br />convened into an Executive Session for the following purposes: <br /> <br /> A. To consider nominees for appointment or reappointment to the <br /> Dan River ASAP Policy Board and to the City's Board of Appeals; <br /> <br /> B. To consider a real estate matter involving Market Street r-o-w <br /> residue; <br /> <br /> C.To consider two legal matters in consultation with legal <br /> counsel; and <br /> <br /> D. To consider a personnel matter. <br /> <br /> <br />
