Ulster County Legislature rejects real property tax phase-out feasibility task force
Summary
Resolution No. 232 to establish a Real Property Tax Phase-Out Feasibility Task Force was defeated by a recorded vote (AYES:6 NOES:16) on May 19; the minutes list the six aye votes by name but show no further action.
On May 19 the Ulster County Legislature considered Resolution No. 232, which would have established a Real Property Tax Phase-Out Feasibility Task Force to study feasibility of a phased reduction in county property taxes. The resolution was defeated by roll-call vote: AYES: 6, NOES: 16 (Absent: Legislator Grossman). The minutes list the aye votes as Legislators Berardi, Donovan, Kovacs, Lopez, Roberts and Walls.
The minutes provide the vote tally and the names of those who voted in favor; they do not record floor debate text or detail any specific amendments. Because the resolution failed, no task force was authorized at this meeting. Any renewed effort to form a task force would require reintroduction and a subsequent affirmative vote by the Legislature.
The record does not identify financial estimates, timetable, or charge language for the proposed task force; those details would have been necessary for committee analysis had the resolution advanced.
