• The council approved a tax abatement request from Steve Koob for his new building
that was constructed several years ago. The abatement amounts to $46,700 over a five-year
period.
While the city and Koob discussed the possibility of annexing into city limits several
years ago, the process was delayed due to issues with an adjacent property. Throughout that
delayed timeframe, Koob did not pay city taxes, but lost the potential tax abatement on the
new/improved property.
“He wasn’t paying city taxes that whole time,” said Goedken in regards to offering a city-
tax abatement. “A lot of people could take offense to that. He was in the county, not paying
city taxes. So he saved on taxes all those years and gets an abatement?”
• In a related case, the council also approved a tax abatement request from Lloyd Welter
for his condo properties on Maple St. The abatement amounts to $75,000 over a five-year
period.
In this case, Herman explained, Welter applied for the abatement, but was ineligible
due to zoning issues. He was instructed to reapply, but that never happened.
“He was instructed to reapply and didn’t,” said Wolken. “I think we’re being nice here.”
• The council approved the purchase of a 2018 Ford Utility Police Interceptor from
Freese Motors for $30,000. The state bid was less than the local bid, but Police Chief Britt
Smith said it’s important to buy local.

Show & Shine

The Help’n with Hotrods Show & Shine was held on June 16 at the Jones County Fairgrounds.
The event raised money for the Animal Welfare Friends shelter in Monticello. Despite the
heat, several car owners came out to support the event. Cars on display included Rick
Kerper’s 1969 Ford Mach I, Deb Kerper’s 2005 Ford Mustang Roush and Jerry Lindner’s
1969 Plymouth Road Runner.
