The City of Martinsville’s Zoning Ordinance is a permissive ordinance, meaning if a specific land use is not explicitly listed as permitted by right or by special use permit in the individual district, then it is not allowed. The Zoning Ordinance is currently being reviewed in its entirety as part of the update budgeted for FY ’14 and FY ’15.

The Planning Commission held a duly advertised public hearing on March 4, 2014 and no one spoke for or against the amendment during the public hearing. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to send this amendment to City Council for their consideration. This amendment was approved by City Council on first reading at May 13, 2014 meeting.

Department: City Manager Issue: Consider approval of a request from the 911 Communications Center to apply for a grant through the Virginia Information Technologies Agency for replacement of call processing equipment. Summary: The 911 Communications Center has an opportunity to apply for a $150,000 grant through VITA to help with costs related to the replacement of existing 911 call processing equipment. The project budget is estimated at $319,398.40 and if the grant is awarded, the remaining amount of $169,398.40 would be requested in the 911 Center’s FY16 and FY17 budgets. Local funding of the 911 Center is currently 70% Henry County and 30% City, and the City’s share will be $50,819,52. The existing call processing equipment was installed in 2010 with a normal life expectancy of 5 years. If the grant is awarded, funds will be available July 1, 2015 with a two-year window to complete the project. The Henry County Board of Supervisors considered the request at their July meeting and approved the grant application. Attachments: July 1, 2014 letter from J. R. Powell, 911 Center Director Recommendations: Motion for approval of the grant application is recommended  MARTINSVILLE – HENRY COUNTY 9-1-1 COMMUNICATIONS CENTER Henry County Administration Building 3300 Kings Mountain Road P. O. Box 7 Collinsville, VA 24078-0007 JR Powell, Director July 1, 2014 Mr. Leon Towarnicki Martinsville City Manager 55 W. Church Street Martinsville, VA 24112 RE: Request Approval to apply for a $150,000 grant through the Virginia Information Technologies Agency for replacement of the existing 911 Call Processing Equipment. Dear Mr. Towarnicki, The lifeline of any 911 Center is the Call Processing Equipment (CPE). The CPE is used to receive all incoming emergency and non-emergency calls into the Center and delivers those calls to an Emergency Dispatcher’s console along with critical data pertaining to the location of the caller. The existing CPE system was installed in 2010 with a normal life expectancy of 5 years, which will be reached in 2015. The 911 Center is requesting approval to apply for a grant from the Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA) for $150,000 for replacement of our existing CPE system. Initial budgetary quotes received for the project show total project expenses being $319,398.40. The grant has no matching fees. However, if awarded the $150,000 grant from VITA, the remaining $169,398.40 to complete the project would be requested in the 911 Center FY’16 and/or FY’17 budget. Grant funds would become available July 1, 2015 with a two year window to complete the project and close out the grant. We respectfully request Martinsville City Council’s approval to apply for this grant from VITA in the amount of $150,000 for the CPE project. Sincerely, ____________________________ JR Powell, Director  City Council Agenda Summary Meeting Date: August 12, 2014 Item No: 3.

Department: City Manager Issue: Consider accepting a donation of property from MARC Workshop located at 110 Wingfield Street, and authorizing advertisement for sale. Summary: As Council may recall from previous neighborhood tours of the south side area of the City, a dilapidated and condemned structure owned by MARC Workshop was located at 110 Wingfield Street. Citing financial constraints, several months ago MARC Workshop Board representatives approached the City about the possibility of donating the property to the City in order to discharge their obligation related to condemnation and demolition. After a review of the site and potential costs related to demolition, it was determined the offer was a reasonable approach to resolve the matter. Demolition was recently completed by the Public Works Department at a cost of approximately $5700 for tipping fees, straw, grass seed, etc., not counting Public Works labor/equipment. The City has received approximately $4200 in scrap metal from the site. Attachments: Letter from Smith Chaney, President of the Board of Directors of MARC Workshop, Inc. Recommendations: Staff recommends a motion to accept the property donation and authorization to proceed with advertisement for sale. The City Attorney will prepare the deed and once bids are received, the issue will be placed on Council’s agenda for setting/conducting a public hearing related to disposition of property.  City Council Agenda Summary Date: August 12, 2014 Item No: 6. Department: City Attorney , Inspections Issue: Consider approval of ordinance on first reading to Repeal City Code Chapter 20, Pools Summary: Chapter 20 of the City Code regulates pool safety. In 2012 the City adopted the Uniform Statewide Building Code (as amended) in its entirety, which as of July 2014 includes the International Swimming and Spa Code (“ISPSC”). According to our Building Inspections Department, Chapter 20 of the City Code is therefore now obsolete and may be repealed. Inspections notes the following benefits of the ISPSC: 1. The only comprehensive and consensus model swimming pool and spa code available. 2. Provides Virginia Graeme Baker Act compliance by reference to APSP-7. 3. Utilizes time-proven APSP ANSI standards by reference and integration. 4. Contains barrier, decking and lighting provisions coordinating with the International Building Code (IBC). 5. Covers all types of aquatic vessels including residential and public pools, portable and in- ground spas, water parks, exercise spas, and hot tubs. 6. Updated fencing and barrier requirements integrate with IBC and International Residential Code (IRC) provisions. 7. Incorporates provisions based on the latest research for diving, barriers, general design, and water quality safety. 8. Requires portable spas be certified to latest industry standards eliminating the need to inspect inaccessible interior components. 9. The first swimming pool and spa code to address aquatic recreation facilities. 10. The first swimming pool and spa code to include an energy standard for residential portable electric spas and for residential in-ground swimming pools and spas. 11. Seamless integration with the most widely used model codes in North America, the International Building Code® (IBC®) and International Residential Code® (IRC®). 12. Meets or exceeds the requirements of the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Act for suction entrapment safety. 13. Covers fencing, decks, lighting, heaters, circulation systems, pumps, accessibility, diving, sanitizing equipment, filters, and suction fittings. 14. Includes provisions for pools and facilities geared specifically for water parks, along with provisions based on the latest research for diving, barriers, general design, and water quality safety. 15. All necessary provisions in one book. The ISPSC combines the provisions of the relevant sections of the IRC, IBC, IPC®, and IMC®, and the APSP standards, serving as a fully-integrated document for pool and spa safety.
