110 <br /> <br />PUBLIC HEARING: REGARDING TAX EXEMPT STATUS FOR MARTHA JEFFERSON <br />HOUSE AND INFIRMARY <br /> <br /> Mr. Hendrix stated that Martha Jefferson House and <br />Infirmary was requesting endorsement of tax exempt status <br />from City Council in order for the State Legislature to <br />consider the request. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lucius Bracey, representing~the Martha Jefferson <br />House and Infirmary, stated that Martha Jefferson House and <br />Infirmary is currently owned by Martha Jefferson Hospital <br />which is already tax exempt and therefore the tax base for <br />the City will not be affected. Mr. Bracey stated that the <br />separate tax exempt status was being sought because Martha <br />Jefferson Hospital is reorganizing, forming a separate <br />corporation for Martha Jefferson House and Infirmary. Mr. <br />Bracey stated that Martha Jefferson House and Infirmary <br />would not become a separate corporation should tax exempt <br />status be denied. <br /> <br /> Mr. Buck questioned whether Martha Jefferson House and <br />Infirmary was in competition with privately owned facilities <br />and whether patients were subsidized. <br /> <br /> Mr. Bracey stated that the House was limited in size, <br />with only 32 persons in the nursing home and 28 in the <br />infirmary, though it did compete with private facilities. <br />Mr. Bracey stated that three residents were currently <br />receiving financial aid from a trust which had been <br />established. <br /> <br /> As there were no other speakers the public hearing was <br />closed. <br /> <br />RESOLUTION: ENDORSING LEGISLATION TO GRANT TAX EXEMPTION FOR <br />THE SENIOR CENTER, INC. <br /> <br /> Mr. Barnes requested that Mr. Roger Wiley, City <br />Attorney, explain why local governments were required to <br />endorse tax exempt legislation. <br /> <br /> Mr. Wiley stated that in 1971 the State Constitution <br />was changed with the State setting up a procedure to grant <br />tax exemption by designation. The State was beseiged with <br />requests for tax exempt status, many of-which became <br />controversial. In approximately 1975, the State made the <br />decision that localities must endorse tax exempt status <br />since the status did not affect the State. <br /> <br /> On motion by Mr. Towe, seconded by Dr. Hall, the <br />resolution endorsing legislation to grant tax exemption for <br />The Senior Center, Inc. was unanimously appr~oved by Council. <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, the Senior Center has asked this Council to <br />endorse an amendment to Title 58.1 of the Code of Virginia <br />granting the Senior Center exemption from certain state and <br />local taxes; and <br /> <br /> WHERAS, the Senior Center is a nonprofit corporation <br />organized to provide a community focal point on aging; and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, this Council has considered whether property of <br />the Senior Center should be exempt from taxation, at a public <br />hearing, duly advertised as required by Section 30-19.04 of <br />the Virginia Code, held on January 5, 1987; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the Council finds that the Senior Center: <br /> <br />1) Has been exempt from federal taxation pursuant <br /> to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue <br /> Code of 1954; <br /> <br />2) Holds no current license from the Alcoholic Beverage <br /> <br /> <br />
