..... - 193 TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1986 by which his office can utilize the State's Motor Vehicles Division's computer tape listing of all registered vehicles in the City. City Commissioner of the Revenue J. Ronnie Minter also presented to Council an up- dated report on the City's program providing tax relief for owners of real estate within the City who qualify therefor as "elderly" and/or "totally and permanently disabled". Council unanimously accepted an easement granted to the City by Lanier Farm, Inc., including a proviso by which said easement might become null and void, to allow and permit the City (as recommended by City Manager Brown) to construct a crushed stone walkway of some 950 feet in length within the upper portion of Lake Lanier and just outside the right-of-way of Sam Lions Trail, Cherokee Trail, and Root Trail to pro- vide safer conditions for pedestrians than are now available within those right-of- ways. City Manager Brown proposed that said walkway be constructed by the City at an estimated cost of $1,629.00 for materials. - In response to a request form the West Piedmont Planning District Commission as to Council's position with regard to a current application being filed for federal funding by the Southwest Virginia Health Systems Agency, Inc., Council voted four- to-one (Councilman Williams voting "No") on a motion, duly seconded, that Council does not wish to comment on said application. The record reflects Mr. Williams' recommendation that Council request the Planning District Commission to "...make a favorable comment..." on said application because this agency, although hereto- fore subject to some criticism, has made available to the community certain medical facilities which, otherwise, might not have been made available.
