REPORT: | Assistant County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record. Chairman Bovo opened the public hearing on the foregoing proposed ordinance. Chairman Bovo closed the public hearing after no one appeared wishing to speak. Commissioner Moss inquired whether the award of the exemption for the purposes of receiving other incentives meant that the applicant was considered qualified. Commissioner Monestime explained that the Enterprise Zone program was intended to provide incentives for investing in targeted areas through a combination of tax breaks and fee abatements. He noted the tax incentives ended many years ago and the local incentive program did not continue. Commissioner Monestime said that businesses seeking to invest in an enterprise zone had to qualify as well as receive a tax break on their loans; however, the tax break no longer existed. He indicated that this was the reason why the abatement could not be given to businesses for water and sewer connections. Commissioner Monestime noted in order to receive the fee abatement and local incentives, the applicant needed to qualify by completing the application process and by creating job opportunities. He said there would be no fiscal impact to this proposal, which would help generate business in disadvantaged areas. Commissioner Heyman expressed support for the proposal and pointed out that it would make the application and exemption process easier. Hearing no further questions or comments, the Committee members proceeded to vote on this proposed ordinance, as presented. Commissioners Heyman and Moss asked to be listed as co-sponsors to the foregoing proposed ordinance. | ||||||
