CF-1’s
Every year, by May 15, each business in the city that has been granted a tax abatement is required to file a form with the city Assessor(CF-1) stating their total employees and total salaries. This is compared to the original projections and the city council then determines if the business has met its projections. If the business has not met the projections, the council investigates why, and can remove the abatement. Today, the council was presented with 13 different abatements.11 of them were ruled in compliance. The assessor explained that she highlighted 2 of the abatements as potentially non-compliant because they had not submitted the required forms.
The City Attorney said that West Pharmaceuticals(formerly BWI) realizes they missed the deadline, and will be asking the council to waive non-compliance.
The other non compliant company is Daneli Corporation. They did not submit the required paperwork.
Both were ruled non-compliant.
Just before adjournment, the mayor announced that he was withdrawing his proposal for one city wide trash contract. He says 75 per cent of the people that responded to the survey said no. Kent Fisk of Fisk Trash spoke in the public comments, and thanked the mayor for his efforts and being responsive to the voters.
