The Committee continued review of 1994 Delinquent Personal
Property Taxes for Contour Tool. The Committee discussed action
taken at the January 17, 1996 Finance Committee meeting whereby
the Committee moved to reduce amount of 1994 Personal Property
taxes to 1993 doomage assessment amount of $1,626.03, plus
penalty and interest. The Committee, at their meeting held

outside the scope of the Committee's discretion, as the law does
not allow the City to forgive tax or State penalty, only City penalty and interest. Ald. Patterson moved to waive City's
interest of $424.94, and penalty of $212.47; for a total 1994 Personal Property tax due of $3,035.29.
