<br />stitution of residential for the ff6tat~on ef i~dustrial pertaining to a small lot owned by VEPCO on which
<br />is situated a transformer station.~:
<br />
<br /> Motion of Mr. Ecs,es to concur in the recommendation of the Planning Commission was adopted, without
<br />dissenting vote.
<br />
<br />The following reports from the City Manager were read:
<br />
<br /> 68-242 - "I submit the attached ordinance and recommend it be place on first reading. This appropriates
<br />$16,100.00 for the cons,ruB,ion of a sewer line to ~erv~ce the new Chrysler Corporation building being con-
<br />structed on Airline Boulevard. ~
<br />
<br /> Chrysler Motors Corporation requested the installation of this sewer line, and has agreed to pay half
<br />the cost of construction. This is in accordance with our policy, when these lines are constructed out of
<br />phase with our sewer program.
<br />
<br /> Bids were opened on Friday, July 5, 1968, for the construction of this sewer line. A. G. Pinks,on
<br />Company, Portsmouth,Virginia, was the low bidder in the amount of $13,395.00. Engineering, inspection, and
<br />other contingencies amount to approximately $2,678.60. A. G. Pinks,on Company, being the low bidder, I re-
<br />commend the contract for the construction of this line be awarded to this firm."
<br />
<br />On motion of Mr. King, the follOwing ordinance was approved on first reading:
<br />
<br />"AN ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE $16,000.00 FROM THE GENERAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND FOR THE
<br />CONSTRUCTION OF A SANITARY SEWER ON AIRLINE BOULEVARD."
<br />
<br />Notion of Mr. King to award the contract to A. G. Pinks,on Company was adopted.
<br />
<br /> 68-243 - "I submit the attached resolution and recommend its aden,ion. This authorizes the submission
<br />of an application to the United States Department of Health, Educatio~ and Welfare for a grant of Federal
<br />funds under the Hill-Burton Act for the Construction of a Public Health Center.
<br />
<br /> It is necessary that this application be submitted prior to October 1, of this year, if the City is to
<br />take advantage of the Hill-Burton funds. These funds will pay 55% of the cost of construction of a new
<br />Health Center.
<br />
<br /> It is estimated that a new Health Center, to meet our requirements will cost approximately $400,000.00
<br />and ~f this application is approved, it would mean the cost of the building to the City would be approximately
<br />$180,000.00. This estimate is based on t~e cost of construction of similar Health Departments that have been
<br />built in Virginia. The estimated size of,his building would be between 13,Z50 square feet and 14,000 square
<br />feet. The present Health Center is approximately 6,000square feet, which includes the area of a prefabricated
<br />building which is being used on a temporary basis. Even with the temporary building, the present Health
<br />Center is extremely overcrowded, and additional room must be found.
<br />
<br /> To submit this application, an estimate of construction costs have to be certified by an architect and
<br />a line drawing submitted with the application. Toaccompl~sh this, I recommend that the architectural firm
<br />of Vosbeck and Bosbeck of Alexandria, Virginia, he employed. This firm has done many jobs for the state of
<br />Virginia, in the construction of this type of ~acility."
<br />
<br /> On motion of Mr. Smith the following resolution was adopted, with one dissenting vote, that of Mr.
<br />Johnson:
<br />
<br />"A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING APPLICATION~FOR GRANT FOR FEDERAL FUNDS ~BR THE HILL-BURTON ACT~
<br />
<br /> %~HEREAS, the Hill-Burton Act authorizes the making of grants of Federal funds to any local public body
<br />or agency to assist in financing the cost of construction of Community Health Centers; and
<br />
<br /> %fHERHAS, the City of Portsmouth (herein sometimes referred to as "applicant") deems it necessary and in
<br />the public interest to construct a CommUnity Health Center and to undertake such oroject wi~h Federal grant
<br />assistance.
<br />
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Portsmouth, Virginia:
<br />

<br />of Health, Education and Welfare through the Virginia Department of Health for a grant under the
<br />Hill-Burton Act in an amount equal to 55% of the construction costs of the Community Health Center,
<br />such construction costs now estimated to be $400,000.00.
<br />
<br /> 2. That A. P. Johnson, Jr., City Manager, is hereby authorized and directed to execute and file such
<br /> application, to execute such contract orcontracts as may be necessary, to provide such information
<br /> and furnish such documents as may be required by the United States Department of Health, Education
