Council grants 2025 occupation‑tax relief for disabled Fairfield resident
Summary
Council voted to relieve resident Robert Hensley of his 2025 delinquent occupation tax after the Borough Secretary verified that relief could be granted; the original request asked relief for 2022–2025 but the motion approved relief for 2025.
The Borough Council voted April 1 to relieve local resident Robert Hensley of his 2025 delinquent occupation tax. The motion was made by Councilor Dennis Bucher, seconded by Councilor Camille Cline, and approved by unanimous acclamation.
Minutes record that J.P. Harris submitted a request on behalf of Mr. Hensley asking for relief from delinquent occupation taxes for 2022 through 2025. Secretary Dianna Zimmerman confirmed with Adams County that the Borough had authority to grant relief. Solicitor Battersby asked why, if Mr. Hensley had been disabled since 2021, the tax collector had not been notified; that question was noted in the discussion but no further action on earlier years was recorded in the minutes.
Council’s action, as recorded, applies to the 2025 delinquent occupation tax only; the minutes do not show the Council granting relief for 2022–2024. No public comment was recorded on the request.
