PUBLIC COMMENT

Mr. Princeton Clark of 1720 Lakeside Drive, Lynchburg, VA, formerly of Brookneal, appeared before Council to request use of the Community Building.  Mr. Clark works with the Faith Assembly Church which already uses the Community Building on Thursday evenings for Bible study.  Mr. Clark requested that the Church be allowed to use the Community Building during times that it is not being used by others for an outreach program.  Mr. Clark said any time that the Council could give the Church during the month would be appreciated.  Mayor Campbell turned the issue over to the Physical Development Committee to check into the schedule of the Community Building and give Mr. Clark a call concerning his request in the near future.

 

 

POLICE REPORT

Chief Cousins announced that Officer Scott Earhart’s graduation from the police academy will be on Thursday, June 28, 2007.  Anyone wishing to attend should let Chief Cousins know.  The cost will be $13.00 per person.  Chief Cousins also distributed a letter from the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries praising Sergeant Carr’s assistance and professionalism in a DUI arrest that occurred in April.

PUBLIC WORKS REPORT

Public Works Director and Interim Town Manager Mike Crews informed the Council that the Town did not receive the SAFETEA-LU Transportation Grant that was applied for in November 2006.  He also informed the Council that the Town Office is in the process of being painted and the doors for the front have been ordered.  He said the Community Building is being treated for termites this month and once that is done, Guill’s Hardwood Floors will replace the area in the floor that was damaged.  Mr. Crews also said the application for the handicapped ramp at the Community Building has been submitted to USDA.

 

APPROVAL/DISAPPROVAL OF THE 2007/2008 GENERAL FUND BUDGET AS PRESENTED AND ADVERTISED

After proper advertisement and having been presented for public hearing on May 8, 2007, Council Member Richard Adams made a motion to approve the General Fund Budget for FY 2007/2008.  The motion received a second from Council Member James Nowlin.  Mr. Robert Jean expressed his views that he agreed with the budget but with a little reservation in that he would like to see the Town hire a full time administrator, when the funds are available to do so, in an effort to keep the Town Office open more to the public.  Mr. Jean said he understood at this time there are no funds to accomplish this.  With no further discussion on the matter, Mayor Campbell called for a vote as follows:

 

Mr. Jean Aye                  Mr. Adams Aye

Mr. Nowlin Aye                  Mr. Jennings Aye
