<br />Regular City Council Meeting <br />March 13, 2006 <br />Page 6 <br /> <br />Tony advised Council that after reviewing two abatement proposals, they found a <br />couple of errors in the Guidelines. He referred Council to the last paragraph of page seven <br />and explained that they could not set the amount for the four year period, because the law <br />requires an annual appraisal. He said the word should be percentage, not amount. He also <br />pointed out that on Exhibit A, personal property should be in the place of real property. He <br />explained that Articles V and IV of page eight should be Articles V and VI. <br /> <br />A Motion to approve this item was made by Council Member Poston and seconded <br />by Council Member Fisher. Motion carried, 7 ayes - 0 nays. <br /> <br />F.
