Commissioners table CF1 tax abatement schedules until SB‑1 forms provided
Summary
The county commission tabled consideration of multiple CF1 tax abatement schedules, citing missing SB‑1 employment forms; commissioners directed staff to obtain the SB‑1 forms before further action.
The Daviess County Commissioners tabled approval of multiple CF1 tax abatement schedules after commissioners said required SB‑1 employment forms were not included in the packet.
A packet listed schedules for 1 Way Technology, Berry Global, GPC, Graber Post, JBR Rentals, Maysville Properties, Melrose, Westgate Holdings, Westgate 1 and RTC. One commissioner said the packet lacked the SB‑1 forms that show how many employees companies said they would hire and how many they actually employed; the commissioner said that information is needed to evaluate performance under abatement agreements.
Commissioners discussed whether they were on a deadline to approve the schedules and whether staff could obtain the missing SB‑1 documentation. After discussion, a commissioner moved to table the CF1 tax abatement schedules until the county receives the SB‑1 forms. Mike made the motion, Tom seconded, and the motion to table carried.
Commissioners asked staff to reach out to companies that have not provided documentation; one commissioner offered to help contact companies if staff had difficulty getting the forms. No abatements were approved at this meeting.
