Frostburg clarifies who decides commercial tax‑credit awards; council approves code change
Summary
The commission approved Ordinance 2025-04, a code text amendment that clarifies that final authority to grant commercial property tax credits rests with the mayor and council.
On second reading the commission approved Ordinance 2025-04, a text amendment to city code that clarifies final decision‑making authority for commercial property‑tax credits.
City staff said the existing code language was ambiguous about which official or body had final authority to grant commercial property tax credits; the amendment makes clear that the mayor and city council hold the final decision. Staff presented the ordinance briefly and there were no public comments. The council moved, seconded and approved the ordinance on final passage.
No change to the substance of the credit criteria was presented — the amendment addresses only the procedural question of who has final authority to approve credits.
