PUBLIC COMMENT

 

Mr. Mike Carwile of Lynchburg wanted to know if anyone had checked into his question from the April Council meeting concerning the cemetery plots that his family has that were purchased a long time ago for $50 each.  His question was that if he wanted to sell some of these plots back to the Town would he have to sell them back for the price that was paid for them or would he get the current rate of $150.  Mr. Crews said that he had researched the records and minute books, and he could not find anything about plots being sold for $50 each.  He said he would continue looking, but so far he could not find anything.

 

POLICE REPORT

 

Chief Cousins said that since the May Council meeting, the police department has had five arrests for possession of alcohol under the age of 21, one charge for drunk in public and resisting arrest, 18 traffic citations, one motor vehicle accident, 4 parking tickets issued at Food Lion, assisted Campbell County with the arrest of a burglary suspect and assisted Halifax County with some burglaries that have been going on there.  He praised Officer Earhart for assisting with CPR at Puckette’s Place a couple of weeks ago while waiting for rescue to arrive.  He said the Brookneal Rescue Squad is trying to purchase two AED units for the Brookneal Police Department to use in these situations.

PUBLIC WORKS REPORT

Public Works Director and Interim Town Manager Mike Crews informed the Council that all employee evaluations have been completed.  Mr. Crews said that some improvements have been completed at the ballpark including replacing the steps to the press box on the middle field and the bathroom stalls at the girls’ restrooms have been upgraded and new partitions have been installed.  The fluoride project at the water treatment plant is complete.  The water is being testing and some tweaking is being done to make sure the fluoride meets the standards needed.  He said that certified letters were going to be sent to the owners of some residences in Town in need of yard maintenance.  Upon receiving the letter, the owner has 15 days to respond to it, and if it is not taken care of at that point, the work will be contracted out and billed to the owner.

 

Mr. Crews told the Council that the Town did not receive the Southern Rivers grant to upgrade the lagoons.  DHCD said that our sewer rates were too low, as well as the fact that there were localities that had more violations than the Town had and that were in worse condition than the Town’s sewer system.  Mr. Crews also showed Council the Risk Management Performance award the Town received from the Virginia Municipal League on May 16, 2008.

 

APPROVAL OF DOCUMENTS FOR THE DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION GRANT

Scott Smith with the Local Government Council appeared before Council to discuss the Downtown Revitalization Grant.  Two documents, a local business and employment plan, and a local non-discrimination plan were distributed in the Council packets for the Council to approve.  He said he would have more documents for Council’s approval in July.  He also informed them that the Town did not receive the TEA21 Transportation Grant this year from the Virginia Department of Transportation.  He said the Town could apply again in November, and he felt that the Town would have better budget figures at the point because the Town would be in the middle of the Downtown Revitalization Grant (CDBG) from DHCD.

 

Upon motion by Tracy Meisenbach, seconded by Robert Jean, and unanimously carried, Council voted to adopt the documents, a local business and employment plan, and a local non-discrimination plan for the Downtown Revitalization Grant.

ITEMS FROM TOWN COUNCIL

Mayor Campbell expressed her appreciation to the American Legion Post 52 for the Memorial Day Service that was held on May 26, 2008.

 

Councilperson Meisenbach asked the police department to please sit down on Cook Avenue and clock traffic a few days a week.  She was concerned since she had an accident a few weeks ago, and she believes the traffic on Cook Avenue is going too fast.  Councilperson Adams asked about getting the County’s radar speed cart to clock traffic in different locations in Town including Cook Avenue and Main Street near the post office.

 

Councilperson Adams said that he had received a few requests for a farmer’s market in Town.

Mr. Crews said that a farmer’s market is included in the downtown project.  Mr. Adams said he had also had a request from the auxiliary for the Red Hill Foundation asking if it was possible to borrow the Police Department’s generator light tower for the 4th of July celebration.  They want to use it in the area of the handicapped parking because it is so dark in that area after the fireworks show.

 

Councilperson Jean wanted the Council to prepare a resolution in support of reserving water from the Kerr Reservoir for this area’s future use.  Supposedly other areas, such as Durham, NC, want to purchase water for their use as well as re-sell the water to other areas.  Mr. Jean, in his position on the Staunton River Advisory Board, wants the Town to send a resolution in opposition to this happening.  Mayor Campbell said we will work on a resolution to present for Council’s approval at the next meeting in July.

 

ADJOURNMENT

Upon motion from Stacey Hailey and seconded by Robert Jean, Mayor Campbell announced that the June 10, 2008, Council meeting was adjourned.
