Madison County finance committee directs county attorney to draft bill to extend mortgage recording tax
Summary
The Madison County Finance Ways and Means Committee voted to direct the county attorney’s office to draft legislation allowing the county to extend an additional mortgage recording tax; the resolution passed by recorded vote.
The Madison County Finance Ways and Means Committee voted to direct the county attorney’s office to draft legislation that would allow Madison County to extend an additional mortgage recording tax, the committee chairman said.
Chairman Matt Roberts introduced the resolution on the committee floor as “a resolution directing the county attorney’s office to draft legislation to allow Madison County to extend an additional mortgage recording tax in Madison County.” A member moved to adopt the resolution and a participant identified only as Melissa seconded the motion.
The committee adopted the resolution by recorded vote. The clerk announced the final tally as 1,292 in favor and 208 opposed; the chair then declared the resolution passed. Multiple members answered in the roll call with “aye” or “yes”; several members were recorded as absent during the roll call.
The resolution directs the county attorney to prepare draft legislation; it does not itself enact or set the terms of a tax extension. The committee did not discuss the text of a draft ordinance or the rate, duration, or use of any additional revenue in the portions of the record provided.
The meeting concluded shortly after the vote with a motion to adjourn that passed by voice vote.
