/ ~" \ ' ,'.... (. TUESDAY NOVEMBER 23, 1982 conducted by Council on this matter at its forthcoming December 14th meeting. Upon motion, duly seconded and unanimously carried, Council directed that penalties and interest in 1974 first-half real estate taxes assessed against property located on Pony Place, which property was purchased in June of 1974 by Messrs. Buddy Williams and Mica Williams from the late J. P. Wade, Jr., because said taxes were not collected by the closing attorney at the time of the transaction and because the purchasers were unaware that delinquent taxes for this period were due or past due until recently. In author- izing this waiver, Council was of the understanding that the present owners (i.e., the Messrs. Williams) are willing to pay the delinquent real estate taxes in the amount of $769.50. Council unanimously approved a budget development calendar for the City's fiscal year beginning July 1, 1983, as prepared by City Manager Edmonds.
