Mayor Margo G. Bailey called the meeting to order at 7:32 p.m. In attendance were Medford Capel, Utilities Manager, Mabel Mumford-Pautz, J. Brian Kirby, William S. Ingersoll, Town Manager and Zoning Administrator, Whaland Clark, Harrison C. Bristoll, Jr., Jennifer Stead, Stenographer and guests.

Mayor Bailey asked for a moment of silence for the dead, the lost, and the grieving of our Nation, after the attack on our Country last Tuesday.

Mayor Bailey stated even though last weekend seemed like a normal weekend, with people going about their regular business, there are a lot of troubled hearts and troubled minds. She stated that she had listened for words of wisdom, but they had been difficult to find. She introduced Rev. Tom Hughes and invited him to say a few words.

Rev. Hughes addressed the Mayor and Council and guests, and ended with a prayer.

Mayor Bailey thanked Rev. Hughes for his time and she stated that the Mayor and Council greatly appreciated his attendance.

Mayor Bailey asked if there were any additions or corrections to the minutes of the previous meeting. Mr. Clark moved that the minutes of August 20, 2001 be approved, was seconded by Mr. Bristoll and carried unanimously.

Mayor Bailey stated that cash on hand and in banks was $720,754.52.

Mr. Capel was asked by Mayor Bailey to give his report.

Mr. Capel reported that two of the three generators would be delivered on September 18th. He stated that they would be installed and the other electrical work was practically finished.

He stated that there had been places on streets dug for water service and he had an estimate of $2,450.00 for their repair from Chesapeake Asphalt, Inc. He stated that they would finish the work as soon as possible and did not see the need for other estimates, because he did not think that anybody else would be able to finish the job on time.

Mrs. Mumford-Pautz made a motion to pay $2,450.00 to Chesapeake Asphalt, Inc. for repairs, was seconded by Mr. Bristoll and carried unanimously.

Mr. Capel stated that there was a problem at the College Heights Pump Station. He noted that the pumps were 40 years old and they could not get replacement parts for them. He stated that they could get new replacement pumps that would total about $12,000.00. He did not want a motion for that, however, because he could still work the pumps until he found out exactly what they would charge or sell the pumps for. He said that they would be exact replacement pumps.

Mr. Bristoll moved to pay the bills, was seconded by Mr. Clark and carried unanimously.

Mr. Bristoll moved that the meeting be adjourned at 7:42 p.m. was seconded by Mr. Clark and carried unanimously.
