TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1989 <br /> \ <br /> <br />Mrs. Pat S. Conrad, Director of the City's Social Services Department, by her <br />February 1st report to City Manager Brown, apprised Council of the status of <br />the City's Fuel Assistance Program, which is administered by her department, <br />beginning November 1st each year and continuing through the winter months. <br />the current program year, Mrs. Conrad reported 542 fuel cases and that there <br />has not been--nor is there presently--any delay in the processing of <br />applications filed with her department. <br /> <br />For <br /> <br />City Manager Brown verbally reported on the status of the proposed downtown <br />hotel project to be constructed by or for Elledge & Associates on property <br />purchased byElledge & Associates from the City's Redevelopment & Housing <br />Authority and situated adjacent to the west side of Bridge Street, between West <br />Church Street and West Main Street, on which site the City continues to operate <br />an off-street parking lot (as it did prior to the sale of the property), <br />pending the developer's request that the City vacate the premises in order that <br />hotel construction may begin. Mr. Brown informed Council that, from his <br />conversations with both the developer and the developer's architect, he has no <br />reason to believe that the developer will not begin construction in the near <br />future or that the developer will fail to abide by the terms of the <br />deed/purchase contract with the City. After some discussion, Council asked the <br />City Manager to write a letter of inquiry to the developer, including an <br />expression of Council's concerns over the delay in the beginning of project <br />construction. <br /> <br />Mayor Oakes inquired as to the status of Adkins Construction's proposed housing <br />project off East Spruce Street and, also, as to the status of the Harris-Teeter <br /> <br /> <br />
