TUESDAY JULY 13, 1982 -. (f) Regardless of the figures shown on the fore- going schedule, no exemption granted hereunder shall exceed the amount of $200.00. 3. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect on Jan. 1,1983, and shall remain in full force and effect for each taxable year thereafter until amended or repealed. All previous ordinances and amendments pertaining to Real Estate Tax Relief for the Elderly and Disabled are hereby rescinded. At the request of Mr. J. Ronnie Minter, Commissioner of the Revenue, Council directed that an ordinance be prepared, for introduction at Council's forthcoming July 27th meeting, which will impose penalties upon owners of personal property who do not file their personal property tax returns within the prescribed time periods. Upon being apprised of recent adverse actions by the State Compensation Board with regard to the several 1982-83 budget requests filed with said Board by the City's several constitutional officers, Council directed City Manager Edmonds to write a letter of appeal, and a request for reconsideration, to the Compensation Board, meanwhile authorizing revisions to the City's 1982-83 budget to reflect these actions, including the underwriting by the City of 100% of payroll costs for the position of a deputy in the City Treasurer's office, in which costs the Compensation - Board has refused to share for 1982-83. Total authorized revisions, as set forth in a schedule prepared by the Director of Finance, resulted in a decrease of $13,700 in estimated revenue (from the Compensation Board and/or the State) and a decrease of $114,885 in appropriated funds. In connection with a proposal which has been under study jointly by the City and - Memorial Hospital of Martinsville & Henry County, Mr. Irving M. Groves, Jr., member of the hospital's Board of Trustees and as Chairman of its Long Range Planning Committee, appeared before Council and requested Council's support of said proposal
