REZONING PET. Councilman Graham stated he had always opposed spot zoning, and felt strongly that people who build homes in an area considered to be residential, that no commercial or business should come in and the area should remain residential. Councilman Brockmeyer asked if Mr. Bowling or Mr. Nuckols were inf ormed that Council would take action at this meeting, and was advised it was not pertain that they had been so advised. The following vote was taken on the motion: C. William Hickam, Jr. - aye William A. House - aye Andrew L. Graham, Jr. - aye Bob J. Clark - absent Blair B. Brockmeyer - aye Arthur L. Meadows - aye John A. Johnston - aye James M. Neblett - aye Mayor Ratcliff stated if there was any one present who wished to speak on any matter other than the proposed Budget for 1977-78, Council would be glad to hear them at that time. Morris Burton of the New River Valley Rescue Squad advised Council that the Rescue Squad had an insurance premium coming due July 2nd in the amount of $3,848.00 and it was his understand- NEW RIVER VALL. ing that Council had appropriated $5500.00 for the Rescue Squads, RESCUE SQD. ASK FOR and asked that the balance due the New River Squad be paid so APPORPRIATION they could meet the July insurance payment. Councilman House stated there had been discussion relative to dividing the funds between the two Squads, but he could not at that tiem give the details; however, he recommended that any balance due the New River Squad be paid. At this time Mr. Eugene Nuckols arrived at the meeting. MR.NUCKOLS Mayor Ratcliff recognized Mr. Nuckols and advised that Council ARRIVES AT MEETING & had already considered the rezoning matter and had noted to ADVISED OF COUNCILS accept the recommendation of the Town Planning Commission not ACTION ON REZONING PET. to rezone the area at the intersection of Memorial Drive and Route 11. June 22, 1977 `~~~v Mr. Nuckols stated that in his opinion the public hearing by the Town Planning Commission was still not in compliance with the Freedom of Inf ormation Law in that points of the application were not discussed. He advised that there are six different criteria REZOI~tNG MATTE$ involved in zoning, and this was not done at the Planning Commission DISCt~SSED FURTHER Public hearing. Also, that the Code provides specifically who shall BY COUNCIL & ATTY. be notified of a public hearing - that is, the abutting property NUCKOLS owners and those persons who live across the street. Mr. Nuckols stated Mayor Ratcliff Ratcliff, Drs. Hylton and Patterson and Barker were the only ones who should have been notified, and that a lot of input came from the people who were not abutting property owners and have no right to have been notified of the hearing. Mr. Nuckols also stated he felt Council should look at the area in question in light of the changes brought about by the new road (Memorial Drive), and he felt the present zoning of that area is a hodgepodge; there being towers and transmission lines in the area which are not allowed according to the zoning ordinance. He further stated that Mr. Bowling would probably later file another petition for rezoning to be considered under the criteria of the Zoning Ordinance. Councilman House moved that the action taken by Council earlier in the meeting be rescinded until a further date. The motion was seconded by Councilman Neblett, and the following vote was taken: VOTE ON C. William Hickam, Jr. - no William A. House - aye REZONING Andrew L. Graham, Jr. - no Bob J. Clark - absent RESOLUTION Blair B. Brockmeyer - no Arthur L. Meadows - no John A. Johnston - no James M. Neblett - aye Councilman Johnston stated he felt the action of the Council was proper and theref ore he opposed the motion. Mayor Ratcliff stated this is the time and place set for a public hearing to discuss the proposed budget for 1977-78, and as Council was aware the wage structure of the Town employees had been PUBLIC HEARING ON reviewed by the Council; that the wage structure is an entirely PROP03ED 1977-78 BUDGET separate document from the budget, however, it is a part of the budget, but set aside and discussed and evaluated separately. Mayor Ratcliff asked Council how they wished to discuss the proposed budget, and if they desired to take the budget by line item and discuss each. He also stated this was the time for public input into the budget. sUlU June 22, 1977 Councilman Brockmeyer brought out the method the City of Roanoke follows in presenting its budget, and wondered if it would be possible to have a budget message from the Town Manager prior to the public hearing, and maybe have some input on the budget. Mayor Ratcliff stated this is the proposed budget of the Town Manager, and it could have been made-public any time in the past; it may be the wish of the Council to follow this procedure. Councilman Brockmeyer stated there were some peaks and valleys of the budget which he felt could be explained and discussed C.BROCKMEYER prior to the public hearing. SUGGESTS BUDGET MESSAGE BE MADE Town Manager Marshall stated he had submitted budgets both PUBLIC PRIOR TO BUDGET PUBLIC ways for the past seventeen years, and the present procedure in HEARING - Pulaski is that the Town Manager presents its budget for the upcoming C.HOUSE MAKES fiscal year and the Council takes it and alters it in any fashion REPORT ON.PAY SCALE SYSTEM they see fit. We have always suggested that Council members make FOR TOWN EMPLOYEES any expressions they so desire on the budget. Councilman House stated he would make some comment on the wages. For the past six or seven years we have tried to develop a pay scale or system. Some six or eight years ago any pay increase would be on an annual basis with Council deciding what percentage they would get and this would apply to every one. In these modern times it seems the best method is to develop some pay scales for all employees of the town and to progress according to their capabilities. We have developed some plans for the various departments and I had hoped this year to get away from the general increase and I am understandably not in favor of it. I am going to take the time to put together a systematic scale for pay raises with steps or grades within the next sixty days and present this to the personnel department. They can present it to the Council, I hope in the not too distant future. I believe this is the proper way to run:a business, but I have not been able to sell this to the Council so far, but will try again. Councilman Graham stated the Town now has the different grades and pay scales for laborers, and he did not believe Council would be in a position to make recommendations as to merit raises. Councilman Hickam said no presentane or accross the board to be used where they think those should get an increase? June 22 , 1977 6011 Councilman House stated he would recommend to Council a general increase as of July 1, 1977, and come back with a plan for next year, or in the future, and add to the June 30th hearing 5% PAY INCREASE this amount subject to the adoption of the budget. FOR EMPLOYES, DEPT. HEADS TO Councilman House then proposed a 5% increase for all town RECEIVE THEIRS ON ANNIVERSARY employees with the exception of department heads, who will receive DATES theirs at their anniversary date. The motion was seconded by Council- man Graham, and carried on the following recorded vote: C. William Hickam, Jr. - aye William A. House - aye Andrew L. Graham, Jr. - aye Bob J. Clark - absent Blair B. Brockmeyer - aye Arthur L. Meadows - aye John A. Johnston - aye James M. Neblett - aye There was no comment from the public relative to the Budget.

Councilman Hickam stated he opposed increases in the Utility Tax for the coming year, and recommended a reduction of same in the amount PAGE BY PAGE of $23,500.00. DISCUSSION AND Councilman House stated he was opposed to any increases, and the APPROVAL OF general increase of 5% for the employees can be handled without any 1977-78 BUDGET tax increase.
