Votes at a glance: Fayette County Commission actions on Feb. 19
Summary
The commission recorded several routine and substantive votes, including denial of a tax-relief request, approval of exonerations, holding lower-scored demolition bids, a one-time payment to PSD counsel, approval of vouchers/payroll/settlements, and adjournment.
At its Feb. 19 meeting the Fayette County Commission recorded the following formal actions (voice votes unless otherwise noted):
- Denied a request from the owner/operator of a Montgomery building (FRE/My Life by Power) for a temporary property tax freeze or other relief while structural repairs are pursued (motion to deny approved by voice vote).
- Approved exonerations as presented by the assessor (voice vote recorded as 'Aye').
- Opened bids for a REAP-funded demolition/teardown program, compared line'by'line pricing, and voted to hold any properties that scored 5 or below (out of a 9'point scoring system) until the commission determines available funds in later phases (motion approved by voice vote).
- Approved payment of $15,535.61 from the county general fund to PSD attorney Philip Tissue to ensure the Page-Kinkade PSD has counsel while it evaluates a proposed sale to West Virginia American Water and related vendor disputes (motion approved by voice vote).
- Approved vouchers and invoices presented to the commission; approved payroll for the Feb. 21 pay period; and approved settlements presented during the meeting (voice votes recorded as 'Aye').
- Moved to adjourn at the end of the agenda (motion approved by voice vote).
Where available, the commission discussed options for administrative appeal (the assessor and other commissioners advised the property owner to apply to the West Virginia Office of Tax Appeals) and directed staff to follow up on documentation for the PSD and for bid evaluation. No ballot'style roll call tallies were entered in the minutes excerpted in the transcript; voice votes were recorded as in favor by multiple commissioners for the listed items.
