Decatur council continues multiple tax abatements, agrees to review abatement procedures
Summary
Council reviewed CF-1 forms and found Metal N Motion, REV Recreation Group, I-O Properties, J.K. Morris Holdings, and Hoosier Pattern/RH Warehouse in substantial compliance, continuing abatements; the clerk and city attorney said staff would review local procedures for granting abatements.
At its May 6 meeting, the City of Decatur Common Council reviewed several CF-1 tax-abatement filings and voted to continue existing abatements after finding companies in substantial compliance.
Colton Bickel, director of the Adams County Economic Development Corporation, attended to support Metal N Motion, LLC’s personal-property abatement; Scott Murray moved to continue that abatement. Council also approved continuations for REV Recreation Group, Inc. (real and personal property), I-O Properties, LLC (real and personal; the company’s representative, Riggs Florence, was unable to attend but had filed the forms), J.K. Morris Holdings, LLC (real-property improvement), and multiple abatements for Hoosier Pattern, Inc. and RH Warehouse, LLC tied to Resolutions 2022-12, 2019-11 and 2018-14. All motions to continue were adopted.
After the votes, Clerk-Treasurer Kevin Hackman reminded the council of a prior discussion about reviewing the city’s tax-abatement procedures. City Attorney Anne Razo said Colton Bickel had forwarded materials from other cities on their abatement procedures for council review. No changes to current abatements were made at the meeting; the council directed staff to compile comparative procedure information for later consideration.
Motions to continue each abatement were made and adopted; the minutes record adoption but do not list roll-call tallies per individual motion beyond noting the motions were adopted.
