<br />and rescheduling the November 11 Council meeting to November 12, 1996,
<br />
<br /> "In reviewing the calendar for the next couple of months, there are two
<br />meetings which Council may wish to consider rescheduling. During the latter part of
<br />October, four Council members will be attending the Virginia Municipal League
<br />Conference. I would, therefore, recommend that the meeting regularly scheduled for
<br />Tuesday, October 22nd be moved forward to Tuesday, October 15,1996, This
<br />change will allow Council to consider the Community Development Block Grant
<br />program within the schedule set forth by the Department of Housing and Urban
<br />Development (HUD), A later date would require that the City make a special request
<br />of HUD for a deadline extension.
<br />
<br /> Additionally, Veterans Day, a City recognized holiday, falls on Monday,
<br />November 11th. Likewise, I would recommend that the public hearing planning
<br />items normally scheduled for that evening be scheduled for the next evening,
<br />Tuesday, November 12, 1996.
<br />
<br /> I, therefore, respectfully present this information for your consideration. With

<br />changes."
