Mayor Report:
Mayor Reynolds complimented the Recreation Department on the
wonderful job they dial for the Junior Olympics.
Other Business:
Ms. Dee Combs, of Brandywine Brokers, understood there were
people that were trying to make an appearance or written
correspondence regarding Ordinance No. 96-13. Ms. Combs stated
this Ordinance change was not clear to the Board of'Realtors.
Ms. Combs suggested amending the Ordinance to reflect the
transient community and allow the exemption for job transfers or
deaths. Councilor Nottingham stated the intent for the
exemption, of some portion of the real estate transfer tax, was
to encourage residents to be here and stay. Councilor Yoder
noted one year is not a long time for a person to own property -
the average is seven years for a person to own. Councilor Carnes
stated the reason this ordinance came up was to change the
logistics of the timing - to clarify the ordinance - the
exemption issues were not even being discussed. Ms. Combs
thanked Council for listening to her.
