Minutes
June 30, 2015
The regular meeting of the Council of the City of Martinsville, Virginia was held on
June 30, 2015 in Council Chambers, Municipal Building at 7:30pm. Council Members
present include: Mayor Danny Turner, Council Member Gene Teague, Council Member
Mark Stroud and Council Member Sharon Brooks Hodge. Absent: Vice Mayor Jennifer
Bowles. Staff present included: City Manager Leon Towarnicki, City Attorney Eric
Monday, Karen Roberts, Susan McCulloch, Linda Conover, Police Chief Sean Dunn, and
Assistant City Manager Wayne Knox.
Following the invocation by Mark Stroud and Pledge to the American Flag, Mayor
Turner welcomed everyone to the meeting.
Recognition of Brenda Prillaman, retired Clerk of Council and Executive Assistant
to the City Manager. Council Member Gene Teague read a proclamation honoring Ms.
Prillaman and thanked her for her many years of service.
Comments from outgoing School Board Chairman Robert Williams – Mr. Williams
stated he wanted to address concerns and dispel rumors that exist in the community. As
school board members, they have three major responsibilities including 1) to prepare
with the superintendent and her staff a budget for the school system and to vigorously
advocate for that budget for which they feel meets the needs of the school system, 2) to
review, create and review policy for the school system, and 3) to hire and terminate, if
necessary, the superintendent. Mr. Williams stated that the school board, same as City
Council at times has to make decisions that others don’t agree with. Secondly, he stated
that there was a rumor circulating about the number of students who graduated
Martinsville High School but were not eligible. He explained that 125 students graduated
at Martinsville High School during May ceremonies, 3 more students graduated from
regional programs, 10 students did not meet graduation requirements but the board is
working with those students over the summer to help them meet those requirements and
will be offering a summer graduation ceremony. He emphasized that statements claiming
there were 70 students that failed to meet graduation requirements was incorrect. He
stated that losing teachers is a concern and recruiting teachers is difficult. The school
board has set aside money for hiring in difficult areas like math, engineering and
minority hiring and the board has implemented a plan with school staff and citizens to
address recruiting of minority teachers. A competitive salary and healthcare coverage
costs put the local school system at a disadvantage when hiring teachers. Mr. Williams
stated in regards to SOL performance testing that all City schools were accredited with
warning. The staff has changed the way they were teaching to adjust to the testing. The
school board monitors the progress of all City schools. Mr. Williams thanked Council for
giving him the opportunity to serve on the School Board. Council Member Hodge thanked
Mr. Williams for his service. She stated that she hears there is a climate of fear among
teachers and lack of communication with parents and that the Board is not doing a very
June 30, 2015
good job holding the superintendent accountable. Mr. Williams commented that parents
were invited to meetings but unfortunately budget decisions had to be made quickly so
there was no luxury of taking the discussion to the community beforehand. Council
Member Teague thanked Mr. Williams and also Ms. McCraw for their service, stating they
had done the job without pay and worked countless hours. Teague said it was obvious
that their hearts were always with the kids. He stated that he understands there are
reasons why the scores are not where they need to be but unfortunately that’s one thing
people look at when moving into the community and suggested that Council needed to
have this discussion with the new chairman during an upcoming strategic planning
session. The School board wants to continue the dialogue with Council and they want to
get out into the community more. Council Member Stroud also thanked Mr. Williams
and Ms. McCraw for their service on the school board. He thanked Mr. Williams on his
complete and comprehensive report and hopes that it will quell some rumors and
falsehoods. Ms. McCraw spoke, reiterating that the children of Martinsville are the
greatest resource this community has and thanked Council for the opportunity to serve
on the School Board.
Update from Workforce Investment Board Project Administrator, Philip Wenkstern
The Workforce Investment Board’s areas of funding this year is $2.2million which is a
10% reduction from last year. When unemployment goes down, so does the funding;
they expect to make it with carry over funding so they do not anticipate a reduction of
services. The Governor is pushing credentials mandating 40% of budget goes through
training programs including programs in local community colleges, programs with local
training providing certification, on the job training, etc. Strategies are in place for this
requirement so there should be no problem. WIB has a couple of new programs this year
including the Job Driven National Emergency Grant of $1.4million for those dislocated
workers who have been unemployed over 12 weeks. This grant will pay for training
services through community college and place them into on-the-job training programs
with employers. WIB has also been awarded a Workforce Innovation Fund Grant
dedicated to the working families success network model, this model is designed to
provide financial literacy education to individuals who are already receiving workforce
services in the workforce program. These people can be placed in the program with
primary goals to improve their credit and increase their net worth and overall financial
literacy so they can move out of crisis as they gain employment. WIB received a Rides
Solutions grant through Department of Rail and Transportation which is intended to
address transportation problems in the community. The Business Services team will be
working with various employers to reduce miles on the road and introduce a rider match
program online. Interested people and employers should contact WIB. WIB is now
operating under new Federal Legislation; they were previously operating under the
June 30, 2015
Workforce Investment Act. Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act passed last year; they
are waiting on regulations to see what impact this will have on the WIB. There has been
an increased emphasis on serving the out-of-school population for those citizens not
enrolled in school services. 25% of youth funding is set aside for in-school youth with
remaining 75% for out-of-school youth. Mr. Wenkstern encouraged all dislocated
workers to contact WIB, stating that there are several programs available to improve
skills.
Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Martinsville-Henry County Chamber of
Commerce’s Partnership for Economic Growth (C-PEG) for certain services related to expansion of efforts
involving small business development in the City of Martinsville – City Manager Towarnicki stated that the
final version of the MOU incorporates the three changes requested previously by Council. The C-PEG
Board reviewed and approved the revised MOU during their June 24th meeting so at this point he considers
the document to be in final form and asked for Council’s approval. Clay Campbell addressed Council,
thanking them for their confidence in C-PEG. He’s been involved in C-PEG for many years and feels this is
the strongest board they’ve had. Mr. Campbell commended Amanda Witt, stating she was energetic and very
driven. Mayor Turner commented that Council and C-PEG may be looking for more places for another
Incubator sight, providing easier access to direct small businesses within the City. Mr. Campbell stated that
meetings would be scheduled across the state to address best practices on what C-PEG can bring back
locally. Council Member Hodge asked that Mr. Campbell please pass along Council’s appreciation to the
board for approving the MOU and for being responsive to Councils specific concerns and for coming up with
a plan to move forward. Council Member Stroud also shared his appreciation and admiration for Mr.
Campbell’s service on the C-PEG board. Council Member Teague stated that C-PEG had been very helpful
and that few realize the positive impact C-PEG has had on the Farmers Market and the Incubator. Teague
felt everyone would be pleased with the results a year from now. Council Member Teague made a motion to
approve the Memorandum of Understanding with the Martinsville-Henry County Chamber of Commerce’s
Partnership for Economic Growth as presented, Council Member Hodge seconded the motion, and all present
Council Members voted in favor to approve the revised MOU. A signed copy of the MOU will be kept on
file in the City Manager’s office.

Set a public hearing regarding a boundary for a new joint enterprise zone - Susan
McCulloch corrected the recommendation wording stating that it should read “a public
hearing regarding the proposed Enterprise Zone boundary and incentives”. The City of
Martinsville and Henry County have two joint enterprise zones – Zone 36 and Zone 54.
She stated that they are not changing Zone 36; they are starting from scratch to apply for
a new zone. Zone 36 will expire December 31, 2015. All Cities with expiring zones must
apply for designation in order to receive a new zone if they would like one. This is a
highly competitive process and applications to apply for a new zone are due August 1,
2015. Ms. McCulloch stated if they don’t apply immediately, they will only have one zone
but that they can apply for amendments going forward if necessary. Hodge asked what
the public needs to know before attending the public hearing. McCulloch stated that
they had worked with property owners and stake holders including Martinsville-Henry
County Economic Development Corporation to determine which properties to include in
the enterprise zone boundaries. Zone 36 is already a good zone; residential properties
were removed from Zone 36 and placed in the proposed zone. There are state and local
enterprise zone incentives. Local incentives would include Real Estate Tax grant,
Machinery, Tools and Business Equipment IDA grant, Business Professional
Occupational License Fee rebate, water fee connection and building permit fee waivers.
Enterprise Zone grants include Job Creation grant and Real Property Investment grant
which are for industrial, not for medical or retail. A dually advertised public hearing will
be held on July 7, 2015 through the Planning Commission and the outcome will be
shared with Council during the July 14th meeting. Council Member Teague shared that
the enterprise zone is one of the few incentives that the City can provide and there are
plenty of other locations who would like to acquire an enterprise zone if the City let’s
ours expire. He hopes the City will be given preferential treatment of a new enterprise
zone for our area. Ms. McCulloch stated that there are only 4 zones left that are open to
be applied for August 1, and up to 20 localities that could apply. Council Member
Teague made a motion set a public hearing for the July 14 Council meeting regarding the
proposed enterprise zone boundaries and incentives, Council Member Stroud seconded
the motion, all present Council members voted in favor.

Business from the Floor
William Eggleston, 1507 Roundabout Rd – wanted to thank Council, he said many people
supported having the Housing Department building moved on Fourth St but he had read
in the paper that it would not be moved. He says the bus doesn’t go down that far and
it’s hard for elderly people to get around.
Mike Evans – wanted to express support and advocacy for reversion to a town. Citizens
need to get involved and become informed. Mr. Evans stated that going forward, in his
opinion, it’s the only way Martinsville City can survive financially.
Patrick Wright, 1201 Spruce St – asked what area is considered the Piedmont and if
Martinsville was included. Mayor Turner stated geographically the Piedmont is the area
between the fall line and the mountains and goes through Central Virginia.
Comments by members of City Council
Council Member Stroud – Congratulations to UVA for winning the College World
Series and the Capital 1 Cup, UVA is the #1 ranked college athletic program in the
country. He also wanted to recognize all the fathers out there who look after their family,
neighbors and the City.
Council Member Teague – the Fourth of July is time to celebrate our freedoms, he
thanked those who have served and are serving and their sacrifices. He hopes everyone
comes out to the Speedway for Celebration 2015.
Council Member Hodge – addressed an article in today’s Martinsville Bulletin. In
her opinion, the article contained misleading information regarding the upcoming public
discussion of fluoridation of water. Back in December, she had the opportunity to speak
to Will Boyd and he expressed concern about our water quality. He did research and then
came before Council making a presentation of his findings on water quality. There were
several others who came forward after that to speak about fluoridation. This was not a
group of outside agitators that were publicly paid to fight for an organization, but a group
of citizens that were concerned about the quality of the water. Public views should be
given the same consideration as a government official and she hopes local media will
grant equal space to both sides offering an unbiased view.
Mayor Turner – thanked FAHI for inviting him to the June German Ball, it was a
very nice event and several people in the community were recognized. Turner recognized
Tyler Millner who held a memorial service Saturday at noon for the Charleston, SC
events. He was honored to attend the First Baptist Church of East Martinsville and the
First Baptist Church of Martinsville memorial services. He reminded the public of the
Celebration events at the Martinsville Speedway, activities are free and it’s a good place
to take family. Martinsville Mustang will also offer fireworks on Saturday.
June 30, 2015
Comments by City Manager - City Manager Towarnicki shared that the grand
opening for the Henry Hotel project would be held Wednesday, July 29 at 11:00am.
Council Hodge made a motion to adjourn the meeting, Council Member Stroud
seconded the motion and all present members voted in favor.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:48 pm.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
THIS MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING, (the “MOU”) made and entered into this the
30th day of June, 2015 by and between the City of Martinsville, a municipal corporation created and
existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Virginia (hereinafter referred to as “City”),
party of the first part, and the Martinsville-Henry County Chamber of Commerce’s Partnership for
Economic Growth (C-PEG) party of the second part;
WITNESSETH:
THAT, WHEREAS the City of Martinsville desires to allocate additional resources toward small
business development to include (but not limited to) recruitment, marketing, expanded technical support
and services, incentive programs, etc., for the purpose of expanding the City’s tax base, job creation, and
increased business growth and activity in the Uptown and other commercial areas; and,
WHEREAS, C-PEG has agreed to contract with the City to provide those and related services for the
FY16 fiscal year;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual and respective covenants and agreements
contained herein and made with respect to the performance of the services by C-PEG, the parties to this
MOU hereby agree as follows:
1. Term– The term of this MOU shall cover a one (1) year period from July 1, 2015 through June 30,
2016. During and as part of the FY17 City budget deliberations, City Council and C-PEG will
evaluate the results/success of the program and mutually agree regarding extension of the program for
additional periods of time and/or any changes or modifications as may be needed in regard to the
scope of work.
2. Payment – The City will compensate C-PEG for the services described in this MOU in the amount of
$60,000 for the FY16 fiscal year, payable in two installments of $30,000 each in July, 2015 and
January, 2016.
3. Council Updates - C-PEG will provide updates to City Council no less than on a quarterly basis, and
more frequently if necessary to keep Council apprised of activities and efforts in regard to the
execution of this MOU.
4. Scope of Work – The scope of work included under this MOU shall include at a minimum, the
following:
a) CPEG will research the possibility of expanding the current small business incubator into
different areas of the City. CPEG will also research tech, retail, and skilled trades/vocational
incubators which are achieving levels of success in other communities to determine if they
would be a good fit for the City of Martinsville. CPEG officials will visit top incubators to
learn best practices and decide what scale they will be applicable on in Martinsville. Once
the research is done, a report and recommendation will be presented to CPEG, Council, etc.
b) CPEG will develop a comprehensive list of incentives currently available through the City,
MURA, CPEG, EDC, and others; will evaluate how effective those incentives have been in
fostering new and expanded small business development; will evaluate incentives offered in
other communities; and will provide recommendations/suggestions regarding changes that
might be beneficial. A plan will be developed outlining options to apply/layer multiple
programs relative to the City and CPEG’s ability to access funding streams. This information
will be made available to businesses/prospective businesses, entrepreneurs, etc. in written and
electronic format and a simplified online navigation process will be developed. Additional
microloan funding will be sought as an additional benefit for businesses in Martinsville.
CPEG will also craft an aggressive incentive package for up to 5 new businesses willing to
locate in the City of Martinsville to include startup costs, utilities, telecom/MINET, staggered
tax plan, etc. Incentives beyond those currently in existence will be presented for approval by
the Martinsville City Council. Efforts will be directed toward targeting selected “anchor”
stores or businesses to complement what currently exists.
c) CPEG will create new activities other than those that currently exist for the Uptown area to
help draw visitors/shoppers. CPEG will also discuss longer or altered hours for uptown
merchants during such events. C-PEG will facilitate an uptown planning process to determine
appropriate ways to target incentives to assist with the development of unused/underutilized
properties. C-PEG will seek and identify new or underutilized partners through DHCD and
others to assist with startup costs, develop business plan competitions, implement an
entrepreneurial boot camp-type curriculum with training providers to assist businesses in
taking their business from an idea to a reality. CPEG will visit Virginia Main Street
communities that are realizing success to gain insight into best practices to replicate in the
City of Martinsville. CPEG will also review prior retail strategy studies and make
changes/additions/corrections to those studies to meet changing market conditions as well as
to meet City needs and initiatives.
d) CPEG will work diligently to reach out to small businesses within the city limits to make them
aware of any opportunities to assist with business development. This includes bulk mail,
phone calls, one on one meetings, email blasts as well as utilizing MGTV as a conduit to
deliver these messages. CPEG will also provide data regarding city businesses, the
opportunities available for them, how the information is communicated to small businesses,
and how many have taken advantage of any such opportunities.
e) CPEG and the Chamber will continue providing mentoring assistance for small businesses in
both the City and the County and will develop a process to assign or match a staff contact with
individual cases to assist in navigating through small business development issues. This
process will move to a more intensive level with efforts geared toward development of a one-
stop-shop concept for communicating from start to finish what it takes to have a successful
business in our community. This includes business plan assistance, financial planning,
permitting issues, legal, business licensing, zoning, efforts to identify a suitable space for start-
up, parking/loading/unloading, etc. C-PEG will also continue to follow up with businesses
on a regular basis.

5. Changes/Additions – During the execution of tasks related to this MOU, through frequent interaction
between C-PEG, City Staff, and Council, there may be opportunities or need to refocus or redirect
efforts. The City will provide assistance as needed in regard to information available through City
records.
6. The City will maintain one seat on C-PEG’s Board. Additionally, two members of the former
Martinsville Uptown Revitalization Association (MURA) will occupy seats on C-PEG’s Board.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Martinsville City Council, party of the first part, has caused this MOU to be
executed in its name by its City Manager; and C-PEG, party of the second part, has caused this MOU to
be executed in its name by its Board President; this the day and year first above written.

Agenda Summary
Meeting Date: June 30, 2015
Item No: 5.
Department: Community Development
Issue: Consider setting a public hearing for Council’s July 14, 2015
meeting regarding establishing a boundary for a new joint enterprise zone.
Summary: The City of Martinsville/Henry County Enterprise Zone 36 (Zone 1)
is expiring December 31, 2015. All cities/counties with expiring enterprise zones
must apply for designation in order to receive a new zone if they would like one.
This is a highly competitive process and applications are due August 1, 2015.
The City staff worked with property owners and stakeholders to determine which
properties to include in the Enterprise Zone Designation application. Residential
properties were not included in the proposed boundary. Also, due to interest for
business development in the Spruce Street area, the former Food Lion building,
the former VEC building, the Druid Hills Shopping Center, the Druid Lanes
building, and Brookdale Crossing and the shopping center on Brookdale Street,
the parcels have been included in the new boundary as a Sub-Zone. The
remainder of the proposed zone’s boundary minus residential parcels is the same
as what will be the former Zone 36. Incentives would remain the same for the
proposed Enterprise Zone.
Due to time constraints with the application deadline and public hearing
processes, this issue is being presented to Council now. Planning Commission will
hold a duly advertised public hearing on July 7, 2015. Information from this
hearing will be shared with Council at Council’s July 14, 2015, Public Hearing.

the application.
