Attorney Polackwich addressed Vice Chairman Solari's question regarding language in <br />the draft Ordinance, in Section 1100.04, Definitions of Terms, Item (p) New Business, pertaining <br />to the definition of an "industrial or manufacturing plant." <br />A brief discussion ensued on the possibility that a business such as a fast food <br />establishment might wish to apply for the tax exemption. Attorney Polackwich clarified that the <br />tax exemption is at the Board's discretion. <br />Chairman O'Bryan wanted to see a matrix established that would utilize a scoring system <br />to determine what percent and for how long the tax abatement would be granted. <br />Attorney Polackwich affirmed that he would be preparing two different documents if the <br />Ordinance is adopted — the actual exemption agreement with the business, and the matrix with <br />the scoring system. <br />Further discussion ensued, as Attorney Polackwich assured Commissioners that <br />everything was in place for the referendum to go on the November 2010 ballot. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Davis, SECONDED by <br />Chairman O'Bryan, the Board unanimously directed the <br />County Attorney to draft a final Ordinance authorizing ad <br />valorem tax exemptions to new and expanding businesses, <br />for adoption in late June 2010, and to become effective <br />only if approved by voter referendum at the November 2, <br />2010 General Election. <br />25 <br />June 1, 2010 <br />
