<br />16 <br /> <br />TUESDAY, JUNE 25, 1985 <br /> <br />Upon motion, duly seconded and unanimously carried, Council recommended a <br /> <br />favorable comment to the West Piedmont Planning District Commission's <br /> <br />Clearinghouse matters, as follows: <br /> <br />A. An application by the Blue Ridge Regional Airport Authority <br />by the Virginia Department of Aviation for a matching grant <br />of $1,500 for use in a promotion program. <br /> <br />B. An application by Piedmont Regional Community Services Board <br />for Federal funds of $147,209 and State funds of $1,276,315 <br />for use in connection with the Board's annual program. <br /> <br />In consideration of a request by Frank Gravely of Piedmont Carloading for <br /> <br />a waiver of $85.32 penalty resulting from failure to obtain a business <br /> <br />license before the deadline of May 31, 1985, Mr. J. Ronnie Minter, <br /> <br />Commissioner of the Revenue, stated tnat he had written Mr'. Gravely a <br /> <br />letter stating he would have to pay a penalty because of his business <br /> <br />license tax being delinquent and in turn had received a letter from Mr. <br /> <br />Gravely asking that Council grant him a w~iver. Mr. Minter recommended <br /> <br />that this not be done. Motion was made by Councilman Williams, seconded <br /> <br />by Councilman Groden to deny the request for waiver. Upon discussion and <br /> <br />noting that Mr. Gravely was not present to defend his request, a <br /> <br />substitute motion by Councilman Oakes, seconded by Councilman Groden and <br /> <br />unanimously carried was approved to table the matter until the next <br /> <br />meeting of Council and give Mr. Gravely an opportunity to appear. <br />
