Mr. Mike Minarik commented on Huntington Pointe development project. Commented on T-Mobile cell tower. Commented on using rainy day fund to save the Bookmobile. Regarding property assessments, artificially inflated.
Mr. John Procyson commented on the budget, specifically attrition. Take money from City Center and give to NNPD. Stop Huntington Pointe development project. It is not needed. $25 million in tax money to McCale Development. Stick with real estate tax deferral program suggestions. Begin it immediately! James River Journal had good information of interest. The City is broke. Businesses/stores closing, paying for consultants. Get rid of HRT.
Rev. Fred Carter commended City administration for taking care of his previous problem. Addressed issue of having no public restrooms for clients. Other businesses may tell clients the same. The law requires restrooms. Disappointed that Codes Compliance spoke on this.
