Council President Friedson will discuss Council’s upcoming review of Bill 45-23, Property Tax Credit – Individuals 65 and Above, Retired Military Service Members and Disabled Military Service Members, which would expand and extend a county property tax credit for seniors, while implementing a progressive income scale for eligibility. Council President Friedson is spearheading this legislation.  

Additionally, Friedson will highlight Zoning Text Amendment 23-10, Parking, Queuing, and Loading – Calculation of Required Parking Members, which will be up for a Council vote on Tuesday.
