Board amends LERDA resolution to consolidate parcel IDs ahead of first-year billing

CENTRAL — The Central School District Board reviewed an amendment on Sept. 8 to a 2022 LERDA (Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance) resolution for the Northpointe property that consolidates and relabels the parcel identification numbers the district uses for tax-billing and LERDA administration.

Mr. Esparter, a staff member, told the board the amendment does not change the substance of the original 2022 resolution but consolidates the parcel IDs into a new configuration “to avoid any confusion for the LERDA process.” He said the district solicitor requested the formal correction and that the county tax office had inquired about parcel labeling for the tax bill. Staff told the board this will be the first year the corrected parcel IDs are billed.

Board members checked the amendment for typos and clarity. A member noted a referenced parcel number (36MH13) that they could not find in the packet; staff and the solicitor agreed to confirm the listing and correct any typographical errors before final action.

Why it matters: The amendment is an administrative correction so the parcels subject to the LERDA lines up with current county parcel configuration and to ensure accurate tax billing in the LERDA program. Staff emphasized it is a labeling consolidation rather than a substantive change to the district’s earlier LERDA approval.

Ending: Staff will confirm parcel numbering and return the corrected amendment for final adoption; the amendment is expected to support accurate tax billing in the current year.
