M. Harman, Justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, retired, in his remarks to Council, advised that they have a most important function to perform. They are at the very bottom of the pyramid of government and are the most available members of the representation of the people. Whatever decisions that are made will not suit everybody. Avast majority of the public appreciates and understands the fact that Council is taking the information which is available and making their decisions. He respected that Council was willing to spend their time and effort to perform this office. Make your decision, vote your conscience, and let chips fall where they may because your responsibility is to the whole .and it is very important. You will have many problems, none of which are easily solved. Tremendous progress has been made on the regional sewage system and solving our water problems as we go along. We have a good community and one that we can all be proud of, but what you NEIGHBORS ELECTED VICE MAYOR do in the future is going to determine how much pride we can have of Pulaski and Pulaski County. Thereupon, the newly elected officials were seated. Mayor Hancock advised a Vice-Mayor would now be elected for the 19$b-88 term. Councilman Crawford nominated Jim Neighbors for Vice Mayor for the 1986-88 term, seconded by Councilperson Copenhaver. Councilman Glenn so moved that nominations be closed, seconded by Councilman Crawford and carried. Councilman Neblett so moved that we elect Jim Neighbors ad Vice Mayor by acclamation, seconded by Councilman Glenn, and carried. Mayor Hancock advised the next item on agenda was Standing Committee assign- ments as follows: Committee Chairman Finance Crawford Public & Personnel Relations Neblett & Nominating STANDING COMMITTEES APPOINTED Public Utilities Johnston Ordinance Copenhaver Public Operations Neighbors (Land, Building, Streets, Cemetery, Recreation, Parks, Public Safety) Town/County Committee McKeever Neighbors Crawford Councilman Glenn moved that the committees as set forth be adopted, seconded by councilman Crawford and. carried on .the. following recorded vot e: John,A..-Johnston - Aye, ..James R. .Neighbors - Aye ' 'Robett`1~I.,..G1enn - 4ye t~:~',•:` Schrader' '= ~' ~ s .

At 4:14 p.m., Councilman Glenn made a motion to adjourn Organizational Meeting, seconded by Councilman Neblett and carried. The first order of business in Council's Regular Meeting was the approval of the minutes of the regular meeting of June 17, 1986, and special meeting of June 20, 1986. Councilman Neighbors so moved that minutes be approved as submitted, seconded by Councilman Neblett, and carried. As there were no comments from the public, Mayor Hancock called for Council Committee Reports. UTILITIES COMMITTEE Chairman Johnston advised that Peppers Ferry had met on June 26. A report was given by investment people, attorney and engineers advising it was not an ideal time to refinance these bonds as the bond market was coming down and that possibly sometime in late August or early September might be an ideal time. If the ideal time did arrive, the investmen*_ people would need to act as soon as possible. They looked at what would be necessary for Chairman and Executive Director to work with the Investment House and move very rapidly if this should be the case. In order to do this, there is a resolution which the Town and all jurisdictions must pass which approves some changes in the User Agreement. We wanted the User Agreement to reflect our agreement with the County. Agreement calls for us to turn over to them 125,000 gallons of wastewater coming from the high school and Volvo White. That 125,000 would naturally be reflected in a change in capacity at the treatment plant. This 125,000 gallons reflects old sewer lines and the County has never owned an old sewer line. Old sewer lines would involve I & I therefore, the County would now be involved with I & I and would be reflected in the I & I Table in the User Agreement. These changes were penciled in on table, but upon receipt of .copy that had been retyped, changes were not made. Executive Director stated that they felt jurisdiction should request that they change capacity tables and they could not change without this request. Chairman Johnston advised them we have a legal agreement in effect but they felt it was a legal problem. He further stated he felt we needed to adopt resolution, however, since Town Attorney was absent, that we not adopt until Mr. Terwilliger has had a chance to review. Councilman Crawford moved we table approving amendments, seconded by Councilman Johnston and carried. POLLUTION & SANITATION Chairman Glenn had no report. PERSONNEL, PUBLIC RELATIONS AND NOMINATING COMMITTEE Chairman Neblett had no report. LANDS, BUILDING & STREETS COMMITTEE - No Report RECREATION & PARKS Chairman Neighbors advised that as previously referred to the Recreation Committee, and as a part of fund sharing with the County, he had addressed the RECREA- Board of Supervisors budget hearing and presented the Town's view that we would like TION & COUNTY the County to share cost of our Recreation Program. The Board seemed receptive to this idea and letter received expressing appreciation and concerns about a ,jointly funded recreation program but did not feel they were in a position at this late date in the budget process to add any funds of support to the Recreation Program currently being offered by the Town. The Board suggested that we approach them for the next budget year. Chairman Neighbors would like to get the committee together soon and work up details to present to the Board of Supervisors so they will have a full year to work 8~"~4 July 1, 1986 this into their budget. A copy of the Town's Recreation budget, organizational chart and program was presented to the Board. Councilman Crawford suggested the Recreation Committee look into possibility of setting a fee for out of Town users of the recreation programs. Recreation Committee's recommendations will be brought back to Council. FINANCE COMMITTEE Chairman Crawford advised a loan to the Centennial Committee had previously been approved for the 1985/86 budget year, and so moved that $3,500.00 be appro- CENTENNIAL priated to General Ledger Account No. 101-0000-0245 Centennial Committee Loan COMMITTEE from the General Fund unappropriated surplus to provide funds for a cash loan to the Centennial Committee. Loan previously approved on June 17, 1986. Motion seconded by Councilman Neighbors and carried on the following recorded vote: John A. Johnston - Aye James R. Neighbors - Aye Robert N. Glenn - Aye W.

Neblett - Aye Mary Lou Copenhaver -Aye ORDINANCE COMMITTEE Chairperson Copenhaver had no report, however, requested Mr. McKeever to schedule an Ordinance Committee meeting. Chairperson Copenhaver advised that Council was in receipt of a report explaining Conditional Zoning, and they would like to see this as a part of the CONDITIONAL public hearing scheduled for July 22, and so moved that Conditional Zoning be ZONING a part of the public hearing, to be held jointly with the Planning Commission, seconded by Councilman Glenn. Mr. McKeever stated that conditional zoning, although appropriate for our review of the proposed center, can be used in a number of instances and may be something that we need to have whether the center is approved or not. Mr. Cofer is recommending that we adopt this as he is rewriting the zoning ordinance. After discussion by Council, motion then carried. Councilman Johnston moved that the public hearing be moved from Municipal Building to the Pulaski Middle School, if possible, or some other appropriate location, seconded by Councilman Glenn and carried. Councilman Glenn su e ted La r s u en Summers Prom 'on n D 1 gg oti s a d eve o ment P Coordinator, draft an article for the news media as to what this public hearing is all about. MAYOR'S REPORT July 1, 1986 8~'~5 Mayor Hancock advised that Mayor Geering would be visiting with us~next week. A reception and dinner is planned for Wednesday night July 9th, at the Valley Pike Inn. An itinerary for Mayor Geering's visit on Wednesday was distributed. Gifts for Mayor Geering were also discussed. TOWN ATTORNEY'S REPORT Mr. Terwilliger absent. TOWN MANAGER'S REPORT Mr. McKeever advised we have a resolution concurring with the issuance of Pulaski County IDA bonds to finance the Magnox project. The Council adopted an earlier version where the project was Brandywine, Inc., a temporary holding company, and now the name has changed to Magnox and because the project is located within the Town's corporate limits, it is necessary to adopt this concurring resolution. Councilman Neblett made a motion to waive the reading of the resolution, seconded by Councilman Glenn and carried. Councilman Neblett moved that resolution be adopted, seconded by Councilman Glenn and carried on the following recorded vote: John A. Johnston - Aye Robert N. Glenn - Aye Andrew L.

("BTV"), also a Virginia. corporation which is in the process of changing its name to "Magnox, Incorporated"; and WHEREAS Section 103(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, provides that the governmental unit having jurisdiction over the area in which any facility financed with the proceeds of industrial development bonds is located must approve the issuance of the bonds, and Section 15.1-1378 of the Code of Virginia requires that the governing body of the jurisdiction in which a facility to be financed with industrial development bonds is located concur in the adoption of an inducement resolution therefor when an industrial development authority from another jurisdiction proposes to issue such bonds; and WHEREAS, the Project is to be located in the Town of Pulaski, Virginia the "Town") and the Council constitutes the governing body and the highest elected governmental unit of the Town; and WHEREAS, the Authority has requested that the Council approve the issuance of the Bonds for the benefit of the Company and concur in the adoption by the Authority of its inducement resolution adopted February 27, 1986, as amended by by resolution. adopted by the Authority on June 19, 1986 relating to the Project and the Bonds (the "Inducement Resolutions"); and WHEREAS, a copy of the Authority's Inducement Resolution, as amended, approving the issuance of the Bonds subject to the terms to be agreed upon, certificates of the public hearings, and a Fiscal Impact Statement, as amended, have been filed with the Council; BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF PULASKI, VIRGINIA: ,(~,YS ~~1 ~~'~ July 1, 1986 1. The Council approves the issuance of the Bonds by the Authority for the benefit of the Company, as required by Section 103(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 15.1-1378.1 of the Code of Virginia., to permit the Authority to assist in the financing of the Project, and concurs in the adoption of the Inducement Resolutions by the Authority as required by Section 15.1-1378 of the Code of Virginia. 2. The Prior Resolution attached hereto as Schedule 1 is hereby ratified, reaffirmed and readopted in all respects except that it is hereby deemed to be adopted for the benefit of the Comapny instead of Brandywine and to that t~ extent the Prior Resolution is hereby modified and amended such that the term Company where it appears therein shall be deemed to refer to Magnox Pulaski Incorporated instead of Brandywine Technologies Incorporated. 3. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption. This Resolution is adopted this 1st day of July, 1986, by recorded vote of the Town Council of the Town of Pulaski, Virginia.. A new Exhibit B has been attached to the line User Agreement with Pulaski REIMBURSEMENT County. We are due a reimbursement of $703,713.87 plus 10~ of this is an RECEIVED administrative fee for an approximate total of $774,000 and a check has been $703,713.87 FROM received and is in the bank. We have to pay back from this $82,000 to United COUNTY Vir inia Bank. We will never have to borrow for Pe g' ppers Ferry other than the revolving line of credit. A copy of a letter and brochure had been distributed that will be sent to all Town refuse customers from the County. Mr. McKeever advised the Town offices would be closed on Friday, July 4bh in observance of Independence Day. Mr. McKeever further advised that effective June 30, 1986, our umbrella 'liability insurance expired, however, he felt we would have quotes on it. One million dollars worth of police liability has been placed with Imperial at a premium of $18,342. We had budgeted $29,.500. We also bid public official liability, and placed with Imperial, one million dollars coverage at a premium of $5,975. We had budgeted $10,000. A portion of the umbrella coverage was spread throughout the Town. We have $500,000 coverage on our general liability and our auto. Insurance consultant had recommended this be raised to one million dollars. The companies that are giving Mr. Fisher and Mr. Stuart, our local agent, the quotes are saying that they will write us a million dollar umbrella 1 quote but first we have to raise our general liability and auto liability to one million. In order to do this, it would cost us for the remaining six months an additional $25,563. For an additional one-half million dollars annually it would cost $49,125; the first one-half million for both coverages $78,000 and the second one-half million is $49000 with Continental. Councilman Glenn felt it appropriate for the Finance Committee to become abreast of the insurance situation. He further advised that VML does now have the insurance pool ready and may have some alternatives. Councilman Neblett stated Council had talked about the availability of our downtown and suggested eliminating one way streets. Mr. McKeever advised a proposal is presently before the Downtown Committee to turn Main Street around, to come down Rt. 99 and straight down Main Street. Councilman Neblett made a motion to refer this subject to the Public Operations Committee, seconded by Councilman Crawford and carried. At 5:04 p.m. on motion made by Councilman Neblett, seconded by Councilman Neighbors, and carried, Council adjourned. APP ED: ATTEST : GCS..-~ Mayor
