Hartford City holds short public hearing on proposed elderly tax credit ordinance; no speakers
Summary
The Hartford City Court of Common Council held a brief public hearing on a mayoral ordinance amending Hartford City Municipal Code section 32-18 concerning an elderly tax credit. Councilman Josh McDum presided; no members of the public spoke. The item had been postponed earlier by the OMBGA committee with an expectation of a favorable return.
Councilman Josh McDum opened a virtual public hearing of the Hartford City Court of Common Council on a mayoral ordinance amending Hartford City Municipal Code section 32-18, which concerns the elderly tax credit, and noted no members of the public were present to speak.
The hearing covered a single agenda item: the mayoral ordinance amending section 32-18 of the municipal code regarding the elderly tax credit. McDum said the item had been postponed earlier that evening by the OMBGA committee and that, had the committee not met, the ordinance “would have been sent back with a favorable recommendation.” The hearing was broadcast on HPATV, the council’s Facebook page and Comcast public access.
No one signed up to speak. McDum repeatedly asked if anyone wished to comment and said, “Going once. Anyone wanna speak on this ordinance concerning the elderly tax credit? Going twice in the wide world of the Internet.” After receiving no public comment, McDum closed the hearing, saying, “I, call this very, very short public hearing to a close. See y'all soon.”
The transcript records no formal vote, motion, or amendment taken at this public hearing. The item’s prior postponement by the OMBGA committee and the committee’s expected favorable recommendation were noted on the record; no additional details about the ordinance’s provisions or a timeline for next steps were provided during the hearing.
