After two attempts, the business at 1021 N. Hickory St. in Foley, that was previously B&R Tires Automotive and B&R Auto Depot, remains out of business. In December, Foley City Council voted to revoke the business license of B&R from Klifton Adam Bond and Amanda Rawson Bond, with evidence that Bond was trafficking drugs out of his business.
At that council meeting, Attorney Casey Pipes stated that a different person can reapply for a business license in the city of Foley at that same location. The application would be treated like any other new business license in Foley.
On Dec. 14, Amanda Bond applied for an owner change for B&R Tires Automotive. The business had only been in her husband’s name before. At the Dec. 19, council meeting, Foley council denied the request.
On Dec. 28, an individual applied for a new business license for Saily’s Tire and Auto Repair LLC at 1021 N. Hickory St. At the Jan. 17 council meeting, Council President Wayne Trawick asked for the recommendation from the Foley Police Department and Foley Fire Department for recommendations regarding this new business.
“I would like to comment,” Police Chief David Wilson said. “Based on the applicant’s lack of cooperation with the police department on our processes, I would recommend they not move forward.”
During the work session, Wilson mentioned the applicant was not returning calls and emails.
“At this point, I can say assuredly, she’s blowing us off,” he said. “… And there’s questions we have and she will not come in and cooperate.”
Deputy Fire Chief Chad Brewer said the fire department had no issue with the business license approval, but there were open deficiencies as far as an inspection that would need to be complete before the business opened.
Councilman Ralph Hellmich made a motion at the council meeting.
“Based on the recommendations — if at some point, they can work things out, we can move forward with the individual that comes forward — I make a motion we deny the business license at this time,” he said. Seconded by Councilman Charlie Ebert, the council unanimously denied the business license for Saily’s.
