Council reads resolution listing properties eligible for tax abatement; final action not recorded in excerpt
Summary
Resolution 2025R-11 listing specific properties for real-property tax abatement was read into the record; the transcript records listed parcels and owners but does not show a final adoption vote in the excerpt.
Pocomoke City — The Mayor and Council read Resolution 2025R-11, which lists properties the city is considering for real-property tax abatement for fiscal year 2025–26.
During the reading, staff recited a roster of parcels and property owners. The resolution text as read said the Taylor Avenue properties do not receive municipal services, certain annexed parcels are tax-exempt until developed, rural parcels serve sewer-line right-of-way purposes, and a Unionville parcel was annexed for a new well but not purchased by the city. The transcript then lists named property owners and parcel identifiers, including James and Ida Cox; Oscar S. Cropper Jr. and Jeffrey Veteran; James Friess; Robert Annette Granger; Ronnie Durham; FS Enterprises LLC; Charles Waldo; and multiple parcel ID numbers read aloud.
The meeting transcript records the reading into the record but does not show a vote adopting the abatement resolution within the provided excerpt.
The council did not discuss individual abatements during the reading in the excerpt; staff note in the resolution text indicates some parcels had been abated in prior years and others were annexation-related exemptions.
Because the transcript is a reading of the resolution text, it serves to place the list of parcels into the public record. The final disposition (adoption, amendment or deferral) of Resolution 2025R-11 is not recorded in the excerpt provided.
