Board schedules second reading and public hearing for Ordinance 905 on low-income housing tax exemptions
Summary
The board voted 4-0 to set Ordinance 905, amending county code on nonprofit low-income housing tax exemptions, for second reading and public hearing on March 19.
The Washington County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on March 4 to schedule a second reading and public hearing for Ordinance 905, which would amend chapter 3.48 of the Washington County Code concerning nonprofit low-income housing tax exemptions.
County staff provided a brief packet summary of Ordinance 905 and asked the board to set the ordinance for a second reading and public hearing on March 19. A motion to schedule the second reading passed 4-0; commissioners Schneider, Willey, Vice Chair Treese and Chair Harrington recorded affirmative votes during a roll call.
What it means: The action sets the ordinance for a public hearing and second reading; the ordinance has not been adopted and will return to the board for formal consideration on March 19. The ordinance title read into the record was: "Ordinance number 905, an ordinance amending chapter 3.48 of the Washington County Code relating to nonprofit corporation low income housing tax exemptions." Staff said the packet includes a concise summary and that further materials will be available for the second hearing.
Next steps: The board will consider public testimony and take a second reading on March 19 before a final vote on adoption.
