Council authorizes repeal of street levy after staff flags overlap with existing levy

Councilmember Matt Caudill moved on July 31 to authorize repeal of the Street Levy; P.J. Macchia seconded and the motion passed on a unanimous roll-call vote of the five members present.

The action followed Solicitor Newcomb's earlier explanation that the current street levy does not expire until next year and that putting another levy on the ballot now would mean having two levies at the same time. Council recorded no public comment on the repeal authorization. Implementation steps were not detailed in the minutes; the clerk will reflect the authorized repeal in follow-up documents for submission or filing as required.
