21 MONDAY JANUARY 21, 1974 ,- A special called meeting of Martinsville City Council was held at 9:00 A. M. on January 21, 1974, in Council Chambers, with Mayor West presiding. Members present were: Mayor Francis T. West, Vice Mayor H. L. Boaz, W. D. Hartford and Morton W. Lester. The Mayor and City Manager explained that the meeting had been called, after proper notice, for the purpose of giving further consideration to the terms of a contract which would provide the conditions under which the City would treat County waste in its regional sewage treatment ,-- facility and suggested the need of an executive session for consideration of this legal matter. On motion made by Mr. Lester, seconded by Mr. Hartford, and carried on the unanimous vote, by a show of hands, of the four members present, Council went into executive session for the purpose of discussing with the City administration, and the City's officially designated negotiator, the terms of a proposed contract now being negotiated. Following an executive session of approximately 1-1/4 hours, Council returned to its chambers, whereupon Mayor West explained that Council had been briefed on the status of the negotiations leading toward a contract which would provide for the City's treatment of County waste, that apparently there remained only one major section on which divergence still exists, that Mr. Garland Page, the City's negotiator, had been working on the points of divergence, and -- would continue to do so. Mayor West said that Council has an optimistic outlook on the immediate possibility of a contract. On motion of Mr. Boaz, seconded by Mr. Lester, the meeting was recessed, subject to reconvening, if necessary, prior to the regular meeting scheduled for the next evening, January 22, 1974. /~ 13 5Jit(tUL R T.
