ONTICELLO NEWS M145 th Year No.12 Wednesday, March 20, 2013 50¢ 46¢ + 4¢ City Seeks Designation To Help Two Significant Issues Set It Promote Historic Preservation For Hearings On Thursday LAZARO ALEMAN ECB Publishing Senior Staff Writer The Jefferson County Commission is scheduled to hold two public hearings this week that have the potential to elicit much public participation, as commissioners see it. Which make for a potentially lengthy meeting this Thursday evening, March 21. The two proposed ordinances up for public hearings involve tax relief for businesses that create jobs and removing the ban on the sale of alcoholic beverages on Sundays. The proposed tax abatement ordinance embodies the will of the majority, as expressed by voters in the last election via approval of the Local Option Tax Ref- erendum. According to state law, the voters’ approval of the referendum authorized the commission to exempt from ad-valorem taxation up to 100 percent of the assessed value of all improvements made by, or for the use of, of new businesses, as well as all tangible personal properties of such businesses.
