$15K per annum. Am ended ordinance passed 5-2, with McRae and Toliver
against the motion.
- Muhlenberg redevelopment tax exemption approved 5-2, with Rivers and Toliver against the motion.
- Abolishing the existing SID in favor of a new, city-controlled SID was approved 5-2, with Rivers and Toliver against the motion.
