Council approves limited tax payment on donated land; asks attorney to draft DOT resolution
Summary
Council voted 4–2 to pay up to $5,000 in property taxes on donated land and asked the city attorney to draft a resolution and coordinate with a district representative about rerouting a state route to a bypass.
The Washington City Council approved paying property taxes up to $5,000 for land donated to the city and directed the city attorney to draft a resolution concerning a state route reroute.
Councilman Andy Anderson proposed that the city pay taxes on donated land up to $5,000. Councilman Maceo Mahoney moved the measure, Councilman David Fisher Jr. seconded, and the council approved the payment on a 4–2 roll call: Fisher — Yes; Mahoney — Yes; Hill — No; Gunter — Yes; Cullars — No; Anderson — Yes.
On a separate item, Councilman Anderson asked the city attorney to draft a resolution requesting that the state move the state route to a bypass and to coordinate with the district representative on verbiage; the attorney was asked to bring a draft back next month. No formal vote tally for the DOT-resolution drafting request is recorded beyond the motion to request staff action.
The transcript does not specify parcel identifiers, donor name, or whether the payment will be taken from a particular fund.
