House -Abstained Blair B. Brockmeyer - Aye C. E. Boyd, Jr., - Aye Robert M. Wallace - Aye Arthur L. Meadows - Aye John A. Johnston - Aye James M. Neblett, Jr- Aye RESOLUTION WHEREAS, William A. House, who became a member of the Pulaski Town Council on the 1st day of September, 1968, will on July 1, 1980, voluntarily retire as a council member, because he did not elect to run for another term. The Council and the Town will suffer from the loss of his service, Although other capable members will be elected to Council, few will equal the contribution and accomplishments he has made and achieved during his three terms in office; and, WHEREAS, William A. House, "Bill" to all, has a unique philosophy of government, basically a very conservative one, but with the rare gift of determining timely necessities and the ability to suggest means to move to a more progressive approach in order to achieve consistency of compromise between the demands of the public and its ability and billingness to pay for its demands, while at the same time maintaining a sound fiscal policy of spending without being extravagant, and never losing concern that money wisely used at the proper time will achieve in the future the greater good in value for each dollar spent; and WHEREAS, William A. House is a person who is direct, straight- forward and desires to get to the point of all issues and questions pending before Council, and who is able to establish for himself and his colleagues, not only priorities of issue, but also of deliberation in debate, thus eliminating irrelevant and immaterial departures from policy making procedures. Rarely does a person who pursues such traits in deliberative body, still maintain a RESOLUTION warm and friendly attitude and commands respect of his colleagues and peers. Bill House is such a person; and RE• WM. A. WHEREAS, William A. House, by reason of his formal and business education, his accumulated experience in private business, his knowledge of financial matters in the business community, his HOUSE Particular understanding of the financial status of the Town, together with his uncanny foresight of things to come, has made one of the most respected and persausive members of Council. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Pulaski, Virginia, meeting in regular session on this 1st day of July, 1980, that: 1. The Council desires by this Resolution to recognize and record in its permanent records its commendation to William A. House for his outstanding record of contributions to the Pulaski Town Council and to the Town as a whole during three terms on the Council. His achievements are too numerous to record in detail, but Council cites herein all of such by reference to the official deliberation of committees and of Council, as one of the most enviable records to be compiled by any former Council members. 2. The retirement of William A. House has created a void within Council chambers, a loss of service which will be surely missed in Council's approach and decision on problems and projects now pending and those which will surely arise in the near future. His straightforward and direct approach, his analytical mind, his experience, his dedication to fiscal soundness, and his advice will not be soon replaced. Q66! 9 July 1, 1980 3. Council hopes that the many extra hours and many there will be, which will be his by reason of retirement from Town Council will afford enjoyable time for relaxation and meditation, for further pursuit in whatever activity he may desire, which have been denied to him because of the many hours he has devoted to the business of the Town of Pulaski. 4. It is directed that a copy of this Resolution be record- ed in the permanent minutes of this meeting and that the original thereof be properly inscribed, framed and delivered to William A. House. Alan Groseclose then presented a Resolution prepared by the Town Attorney at the direction of the Council, recognizing Arthur L. Meadows, retiring councilman, for his dedicated services and the esteem with which it holds for him upon his retirement. Councilman Brockmeyer moved the adoption of the Resolution as presented and read. Motion was seconded by Councilman Boyd, and carried on the following vote: Andrew L. Graham, Jr. - Aye William ~.

WHEREAS, Arthur L, Meadows retires by choice from the Pulaski Town Council on July 1, 1980. Council members may come and MEADOWS C^~uncil members may go, but few, if any, will Leave the void which will occur upon the retirement of Arthur L. Meadows, a man with great integrity, who soon after taking his seat upon Council made it clear that one of his goals was a dedication to approach each issue with objectivity, regardless of the issues or the parties affected, and thereby displaying in the first instance the truly basic philosophy that government is for all the people; and WHEREAS, Arthur L, Meadows, in addition to having a sound governmental philosophy, gave to Council and the Town of Pulaski the benefit of his background, his formal training, and wide wealth of experience in solving problems dealing with complicated issues, especially issues that dealt with the legal rights of people both as individuals and groups as mandated by recent Federal and State regulations, and as interpreted by numerous decisions of our Courts, all of which were of inestimable value in guiding the Town's procedure and practice in seeking compliance with the requirements of regulations and court decisions, and above all seeking and obtaining fairness to its employees, equity and equality to those governed by the Town; and WHEREAS, Arthur,,during his entire tenure of office which began on September 1, 1972, has devoted his time, his talents, skills and his ability to separate the real issues of Town government from immaterial, emotional and many times personal side issues of those involved, in such a manner as to make the road to final decisions by his colleagues much less complicated than it would have otherwise been. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Pulaski, Virginia, meeting in regular session on this 1st day of July, 1980, that: 06680 July 1, 1980 1.

Meadows upon his retirement, and to give credit to the dedicated services which Arthur Meadows has rendered to his Town by giving to the governing body throughout his term of office a new perspective, a warm friendly manner, understanding of problems and conflicts, his ability to approach problems with great object- ivity, his knowledle and his intelligence, and his ever-broadening field of experience. 2. The Council cites the achievements, and the record of accomplishments of Arthur Meadows as a monument to him as an individual, and a challenge to all persons, regardless of who they are, and especially to those who may desire to serve the Town of Pulaski in the future, a high goal to strive toward, to prepare themselves for service by development of personal characteristics, training, work and professional experience which have been so admirably displayed by Arthur L. Meadows during the terms which he has served. 3. Arthur Meadows will be sorely missed when the Committees upon which he served convene, when members of Council debate, and puruse their options and courses of action in the planning and development of their projects, when they consider the available source of revenue and the effect that fixing fees, rates and imposing taxes willhave upon the economy of the Town and its citizens, and the reaction thereto. 4. The Council desires that that the many hours of service each week which Arthur L. Meadows has given to t he Town of Pulaski will now be returned to him to use in furtherance of his business and career activities, and to such other enjoyment he may elect, and that he will continue to prosper, all in good health. 5. It is directed that a copy of this Resolution be recorded in the permanent minutes of this meeting and that the original thereof be properly inscribed, framed and delivered to Arthur L. Meadows.
