Council approves abatement of specified 2012 delinquent taxes
Summary
Council approved abatement of two 2012 delinquent tax items: $380.14 (real estate) and $14,120 (personal property), following the Treasurer's report and a motion by Councilman Joseph Hollis.
Stephens City Council approved the abatement of specified delinquent taxes from 2012 after a Treasurer's report identified amounts recommended for write-off.
Town Treasurer Steve Rickards presented a delinquent-tax list covering fiscal years 2013–2017 and identified two 2012 amounts proposed for abatement: $380.14 in real estate taxes and $14,120 in delinquent personal property tax. Councilman Joseph Hollis moved to abate the 2012 amounts and the motion carried with Councilmembers Ronald Bowers, Linden A. Fravel Jr., Joseph Hollis, Jason Nauman and Regina Swygert-Smith voting aye.
The minutes record the abatement motion and vote but do not include the administrative mechanism for processing the abatements (for example, whether staff must publish a notice or record the write-off in the town's accounting system). The Treasurer's presentation was the basis for the council action recorded in the minutes.
