Council unanimously approves resolution terminating two personal-property tax abatements
Summary
The Greenwood Common Council passed Resolution 25-07 to terminate two personal-property tax abatements; the council suspended rules to carry both first and second readings and approved the measure on voice/roll-call votes recorded as unanimous.
The Greenwood Common Council voted to terminate two personal-property tax abatements under Resolution 25-07, the council president announced after a series of procedural motions to suspend rules for expedited readings.
Sponsor Councilmember Campbell introduced Resolution 25-07, titled “terminating property tax abatements for personal property.” Councilmember Moe moved to suspend the rules through first reading; Councilmember Hopper seconded. The council suspended rules and passed the resolution on first reading by recorded vote, then again suspended rules and passed second reading; recorded votes for both readings were entered as aye by all members present.
During discussion the council clarified that the action removes two of four previously granted abatements; two other abatements listed on the CF1 list were not eliminated at this time and remain before the council. Council members proceeded through the suspension and readings in a sequence of motions and roll calls; the presiding officer announced the resolution passed on both first and second readings with unanimous support at the meeting.
The resolution as adopted is an official council action terminating the specified abatements; council staff indicated the remaining abatements will remain under consideration as part of the CF1 review process and that administrative follow-up would occur to update records and notify affected parties.
