CHRISTIANSBURG TOWN COUNCIL
Christiansburg Town Council will discuss whether to act on a resolution requested by a local businessman who hopes to get federal and state police to cooperate with local law enforcement.
James Mensh of Mensh Insurance, who was involved in a 1989 false-arrest case with the FBI and the state police, said U.S. and state agencies should be prohibited from coming into a town to arrest anyone without first notifying local police.
Mensh asked council at its last meeting to send a resolution to Richmond lawmakers requesting that local police be told the name of the person who will be arrested and when the person will be arrested.
Mayor Harold Linkous sent the request to Town Manager John Lemley and Town Attorney W.R.L. Craft Jr. and said a decision would be made at tonight's meeting at 7:30 in the Municipal Building.
Also on the agenda:

A Finance Committee recommendation on a request by the Blacksburg Chamber of Commerce for payment on an ad promoting valley economic development. Committee member and Councilman Ray E. Lester Jr. said council had participated in the 1990 ad, but when the ad was renewed for 1991 the chamber "forgot to come back and ask the localities for the money." Council's share is about $300.

A request by Pilot Homes Inc. to close the southernmost portion of Rogers Street.

The town manager's second-quarter financial report.
