South Charleston council advances ordinance amending manufacturing business tax credit to second reading
Summary
The South Charleston City Council voted to advance an ordinance amending a city-code section on a new manufacturing business tax credit to a second reading; no substantive debate was recorded during the motion.
The South Charleston City Council on Thursday advanced an ordinance amending a provision of the city code on a new manufacturing business tax credit to a second reading. Marjorie, a staff member who read the ordinance title at the meeting, introduced the item on behalf of the clerk’s office.
The ordinance, presented as an amendment to “section 7 37.19 0.1 of article 7 37 of the city code of the city of South Charleston concerning the new manufacturing business tax credit,” was moved and seconded for advancement. A voice vote was taken and the motion passed to a second reading.
The council took no public or extended recorded debate on the ordinance during the motion. The meeting transcript does not specify who made the motion or who seconded it, nor does it record individual roll-call votes for this item beyond a voice affirmative vote and the chair’s announcement that the motion passed.
Because the action was advancement to a second reading, the change to the city code is not yet final; further consideration and a subsequent vote will be required for adoption. The transcript does not include details of the amendment’s substantive changes to the tax credit, projected fiscal impacts, or affected businesses.
City officials did not cite a state statute, resolution, or other external authority during the recorded discussion of the item in the transcript.
