The Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Martinsville
Martinsville, Virginia
Dear Council Members:
The Planning Commission, at its regular meeting of November 21, 2013, conducted a duly
advertised Public Hearing on a request by Sharon Martin, for a special use permit for property
located at 1006 Independence Drive, known on the City's Tax Map as 46(06)00/48X and located
in the R-6 Residential District.
At the Public Hearing, it was noted that Sharon Martin is applying for a special use permit to
operate a home child care business, caring for up to twelve (12) children, as a home occupation
at her home at 1006 Independence Drive. Mrs. Martin is doing this in order to come into
compliance with the recently amended Martinsville Zoning Ordinance. Mrs. Martin's residence
has been inspected by code officials with the Inspections Department and meets the current code
requirements. In addition, Mrs. Martin has been cited by the Virginia Star Quality Initiative with
a 1st Star rating for her curriculum, teaching methods, cleanliness, and overall positive
environment for children.
There were no objections expressed from adjacent property owners on the proposed special use
for home child care. Following evidence heard at the public hearing, the Planning Commission
voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend to City Council the special use permit be granted. The
Planning Commission respectfully submits the above recommendation for Council's further
consideration.
Sincerely,

Agenda Summary
Meeting Date: February 11, 2014
Item No: 3.
Department: City Manager
Issue: Conduct a Public Hearing in regard to the City’s intent to file an
application for grant funding with USDA, Rural Development for assistance in the
replacement of the emergency generator for the City’s Shop/Warehouse Complex
located at 300 Fishel Street and consider approval of a required resolution.
Summary: After a review of recent mechanical problems with the
emergency power generator at the City Shop/Warehouse complex, it has been
determined that the best option for the City is to consider replacing the unit with a
new larger, natural gas-powered unit. Total cost of the generator and related
equipment for connection to the Shop/Warehouse complex is estimated to be
$55,000. The generator powers the entire Shop/Warehouse complex during
outages and is essential to the ability to provide reliable emergency services for the
citizens of Martinsville.
There is an opportunity to apply for partial grant funding of the project through
the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development and a public
hearing is a required component of the application process. Any funding needed
in addition to the grant will be covered by City Electric and/or the City’s Capital
budget.
Attachments: Resolution
Recommendations: Conduct the Public Hearing and consider a motion to
approve the required resolution authorizing city staff to proceed with grant
application process.

City Council
Agenda Summary
Meeting Date: February 11, 2014
Item No: 5.
Department: Finance
Issue: Consider adoption of the Preliminary Ordinance, on second reading, for the
Refunding with Carter Bank
Summary: At the January 29th meeting, Council approved on first reading the Preliminary
Ordinance for the potential issuance of refunding bonds.
The next step in this process is to adopt the Preliminary Ordinance on second reading that
serves the following purposes:
1. Reciting the expediency of the issuance of up to $2,650,000 of Principal Amount of
General Obligation Bonds (expediency does not mean that the Council declares this as a
matter of emergency). Instead, expediency means that the most efficient, effective, and
expedient way to provide for such acquisition is by the issuance of Refunding General
Obligation Bonds.
2. The intended use of the Bonds is for municipal purposes.
3. Issuance of the Bonds is within the power of the City.
4. The issuance of the bonds is in the best interest of the City and its citizens.
Three of the City’s outstanding bond obligations, with interest rates somewhat higher than
current markets, could be refinanced, saving over $100,000 over the life of the loans. After
speaking with the current holder of these particular loans, it was determined that they were
willing to reduce the current rates being charged, producing savings to the City without
extending the life of the loans. This ordinance authorizes staff to participate in the refunding
process.
Tentative project timeline:
1. January 29, 2014 – Adoption of Resolution to set public hearing, and of Preliminary
Ordinance on first reading.
2. February 11, 2014 – Adoption of Preliminary Ordinance on second reading, and of

the Bonds upon surrender thereof to the Registrar together with an assignment duly executed by
the registered Bondholder in person or by his duly authorized attorney or legal representative in
such form as shall be satisfactory to the Registrar. Upon any such transfer, the City shall execute
and the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange of the Bond, a new registered Bond
registered in the name of the transferee of the same series, maturity and interest rate as the Bond
so exchanged in any denomination or denominations authorized by this Ordinance.
The Registrar shall not be required to make any such registration or registration of
transfer during the thirty (30) days immediately preceding any Bond Payment Date or a
redemption date.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer for the Bond, the Registrar shall treat
the registered Bondholders as the person or persons exclusively entitled to payment of principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Bond and the exercise of all other rights and powers of
the Bondholder.
If a Bond has been mutilated, lost or destroyed, the City shall execute and the Registrar
shall authenticate and deliver a new Bond of like date and tenor in exchange or substitution for,
and upon cancellation of, such mutilated Bond or in lieu of and in substitution for such lost or
destroyed Bond; provided, however, that the City and the Registrar shall execute, authenticate
and deliver such Bond only if the Bondholder has paid the reasonable expenses and charges of
the City and the Registrar in connection therewith and, in the case of a lost or destroyed Bond,
has furnished to the City and the Registrar (a) evidence satisfactory to them that such Bond was
lost or destroyed and the Bondholder was the Owner thereof and (b) indemnity satisfactory to
them. If the Bond has matured, instead of issuing a new Bond, the Registrar may pay the same
without surrender thereof upon receipt of the aforesaid evidence and indemnity.
If a Bond has been paid (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) or delivered
to the Paying Agent for cancellation, the Bond shall not be reissued and the Registrar shall,
unless otherwise directed by the City, cremate, shred or otherwise dispose of the Bond. The
Registrar shall deliver to the City a certificate of any such cremation, shredding or other
disposition of the Bond.
CUSIP identification numbers may be printed on the Bond, but such numbers shall not be
deemed to be a part of the Bond or a part of the contract evidenced thereby and no liability shall
hereafter attach to the City or any of the officers or agents thereof because or on account of said
CUSIP numbers.
The Bonds, the Certificate of Authentication and the provision for the assignment to be
inserted in the Bonds shall be substantially in the following form, to-wit:

of the Bonds and thereafter any remaining funds to be deposited in the Bond Proceeds Fund shall
be used for the purposes specified in Section 2 of this Ordinance and otherwise used in

Section 15 No Arbitrage Covenant and Covenants and Designations as to the Code
The City hereby covenants that it will not use or invest, or permit the use or investment of
any proceeds of the Bonds in a manner that would cause the Bonds to be subjected to treatment
under Section 148 of the Code and the regulations adopted thereunder as an "arbitrage bond,"
and to that end the City shall comply with applicable regulations adopted under said Section 148
of the Code.
The City covenants to comply with the Code provisions requiring that any issuance of
"governmental bonds," as defined therein, be subject to certain requirements as to rebate and
timing and type of payments to be paid for from the proceeds of such bonds, as well as other
additional requirements. In order to assure compliance with such Code provisions, the City will
enter into a NonArbitrage Certificate and Tax Covenants document, to comply with such
requirements and covenants therein that it will not breach the terms thereof.
The Council, on behalf of the City, hereby designates the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt
obligations" as defined in Section 265(b)(3)(B) of the Code and certifies by this Ordinance that is
does not reasonably anticipate the issuance by it or its subordinate entities of more than
$10,000,000 in "qualified tax-exempt obligations" during the calendar year 2014 and will not
designate, or permit the designation by any of its subordinate entities of, any of its notes or
bonds (or those of its subordinate entities) during the calendar year 2014 which would cause the
$10,000,000 limitation of Section 265(b)(3)(D) of the Code to be violated. Additionally, the
Council on behalf of the City designates the Bonds as eligible for the “small issuer exception” to
the rebate requirements of Section 148(f)(2) and (3) of the Code pursuant to Section
148(f)(D)(vii) of the Code, as the City is a governmental unit with general taxing powers, no
bond which is a part of the Bonds will be a private activity bond, 95% or more of the net
proceeds of the Bonds are to be used for local governmental activities of the City, and the
aggregate face amount of all tax-exempt bonds, excluding private activity bonds to be issued by
the City during the calendar year 2014 is not reasonably expected to exceed $5,000,000
increased by the lesser of $10,000,000 or so much of the aggregate face amount of bonds as are
attributable to financing the construction of public school facilities within the meaning of Section
148(f)(D)(vii).
