204 <br /> <br />City Manager re: <br />UMTA Grant <br />Application <br /> <br />Consideration re: <br />Ordinance - Central <br />Absentee Voter <br />District <br /> <br /> A motion by Mr. Fife, seconded by, Mr. Brunnon that <br /> <br /> our representatives in Congress be notified that the City <br /> Council is unhappy with the distribution of Public Works <br /> Funds, was unanimously adopted. <br /> <br /> The City Manager advised the Council that he has filed <br />an amendatory application with UMTA for the Capital Program <br />for the Bus System. He stated that in the initial grant they <br />gave us money for architectural and engineering services for <br />repair facilities for the buses, but did not grant money <br />for the facility. He stated we have now designed the <br />facility and sent to UMTA for approval. He also stated <br />that since the City started operating the system we find <br />we need a fourth large bus and that three were granted <br />under the original application. He stated we asked if <br />they would pay for the fourth bus and received a <br />tentative yes, but it would have to be approved by <br />application. The bus will be delivered in March and when <br />delivered if we have not received approval from UMTA <br />we will have to cancel or pay for it with City funds, tme <br />costs of the bus is approximately $59,000. He stated <br />that the application has now been filed and hopefully will <br />be approved within the next sixty days. Mr. Hendrix <br />also stated that the amendatory application stated that <br />the City did not plan on going to 30 minute headways within <br />the next two or three years due to the excessive cost. <br />He stated the original planning proposal submitted to <br />UMTA had indicated that the City hoped to go to 30 minute <br />headways sooner than is now thought possible. <br /> <br /> An ordinance entitled "AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A <br /> CENTRAL ABSENTEE VOTER ELECTION DISTRICT PURSUANT TO <br /> ~24.1-233.1 OF THE CODE OF VIRGINIA,'! was offered by Mr. <br /> Barbour, seconded by Mr. Gatewood and carried over to the <br /> a~special meeting of January 25, 1977 for consideration. <br /> <br /> On motion the meeting adjourned. <br /> <br />Clerk <br /> <br />CAR~ER RECREATION CENTER - MONDAY, <br />JANUARY 24, 1977 <br /> <br />Special meeting <br /> <br />Pursuant to the following call: <br /> <br />Mr. Charles L.
