<br />
<br />The following reports from the City Manager were read:
<br />
<br /> 65-189 - "I submit the attached ordinance and recommend that it b~ placed on
<br />first reading. This appropriates $6,000 for the Community Psychiatriz Clinic.
<br /> There~is already appropriated $4,000 in the current budget. This
<br />will make a contribution totaling $10,000.
<br /> It is felt that this is a fair share for the City of Portsmouth to
<br />contribute, based on the number of Portsmouth residents using this facility.
<br /> I further recommend that this $10,000 be transferred to the School
<br />appropriation and dispersed to the clinic by the School Board. This will then assist Portsmouth in
<br />its local effort with the State for local School 6osts."

<br /> 65-191 -
<br />
<br /> "I submit the attached resolution and recommend its adoption.
<br /> This resolution requests the Virginia State Ports Authority to
<br />relocate its administrative offices in the City of Portsmouth.
<br /> It is my understanding that the Virginia State Ports Authority needs
<br />additional office space; and with the development of the Pinners Point Area as a port facility, it is
<br />felt that the State Ports Authority should be invited to relocate in Portsmouth.
<br /> It has been located in the City of Norfolk Since its establishment."
<br />

<br />
<br /> "}%~EREAS, it has become necessary for the Virginia State Ports

<br />is found that some of the concrete is deteriorating.
<br /> This stadium was constructed in the 1930's and no structural repairs
<br />have been necessary up to the present time.
<br /> I recommend that the firm of Joe Glenn, Jr., Structural Emgineers
