At-a-glance: Committee tables senior-citizen tax and disabled‑veteran exemption; public hearing set on fire ordinance
Summary
The ordinance committee tabled two agenda items (senior-citizen tax; disabled‑veteran exemption) and set a public hearing for Feb. 17 on proposed fire-department ordinance changes.
The Seymour Ordinance Committee voted on multiple procedural items during the meeting. The committee tabled consideration of a senior‑citizen tax incentive after a motion by Trish and second by Bob Finley; the chair recorded the motion as carried.
The committee also tabled a draft disabled‑veteran exemption (described as similar to Derby’s gold‑star exemption) and directed staff to place the item on the Feb. 17 agenda for further review. The motion to table was made by Trish, seconded by Bob Finley, and carried.
Separately, the committee voted to set a public hearing for Tuesday, Feb. 17 at 6 p.m. to take comments on proposed ordinance changes affecting the Seymour Fire Department (membership rules, training requirements and officer appointment terms). No substantive ordinance votes were taken at the meeting.
