Council accepts final CF‑1 reports for Phillips Sontool and Chenoweth Real Estate; one abstention recorded
Summary
The council accepted CF‑1 annual tax‑abatement reports for Phillips Sontool and Chenoweth Real Estate Holdings LLC after a presentation by Jordan Chenoweth; motions carried with one abstention on each item.
The Clinton County Council voted to accept final CF‑1 annual reports for two local tax‑abatement recipients: Phillips Sontool (listed in the packet as Phillips Saw/Phillips Sontool) and Chenoweth Real Estate Holdings LLC.
Chair introduced Jordan Chenoweth to present and asked if he had comments. Jordan Chenoweth (introduced by the chair) reflected on the company’s 10‑year expansion, saying the business has broadened production and international distribution. "We are now, producing or importing 90% of everything we manufacture or service directly," he said, describing investments in equipment, raises and bonuses during recent years.
Councilor Todd moved to approve the CF‑1 for Phillips Sontool; Mary seconded and the motion carried 4–0 with Jeff recorded as abstaining. The council then approved the CF‑1 for Chenoweth Real Estate Holdings LLC by the same margin and abstention pattern.
The chair reminded the public that a CF‑1 documents compliance with the conditions attached to a tax abatement and is an annual certification from the abatement recipient. Jordan and other speakers recounted the company’s local investment and job support over the past decade.
The council did not change abatement terms; the actions were approvals of the annual compliance reports.
