Finance Committee moves to table select waiver requests and approves partial tax waivers

The Finance Committee considered several license and business-and-occupation (B&O) tax waiver requests during a brief meeting. The chair moved that the committee "table 1 8 16 for administrative purposes" and proposed partial waivers and denials for multiple numbered items, and the motion carried with no objections.

The motion as read by the chair listed several actions on specific docket numbers: "Under license waiver requests, I move that we table 1 8 16 for administrative purposes. Under 8654, waive all but $300.8038; waive all but $100. Moving on to B and O tax waiver requests. One-eight 16 is additionally tabled as above. Eight-four-zero-six waive all but 50. 8405, waive all but 50. 8654, waiver denied. 8038, waive all but 50," the chair said. The transcript records those lines as the committee’s motion language; the precise formatting of the item numbers and dollar/amount fragments reflects the committee record.

A second was recorded. The chair asked, "Any objections?" and then said, "Hearing none, it's so moved," indicating the motion passed by voice without a roll-call vote or a recorded tally. The transcript contains no named mover or seconder aside from the chair’s facilitation and the verbal "2nd." The committee then asked for other business and, hearing none, adjourned.

Because the committee handled waiver requests and one denial during this short session, further administrative follow-up or staff reporting may be required to document the exact items and applied waiver amounts. The transcript does not specify who will draft those follow-up materials or a timeline for implementation.
