Mrs. Kolata presented the staff report on Armco Drainage & Metal Products' request for personal pro erty tax abatement. The report stated that Arm o.installed the equipment on February 22, 1982 and filed the tax abatement petition on March 15, 198. According to local ordinance, filing must precede installation of equipment and therefore Armco was not in compliance. The staff reviewed the petition anyway and determined that Armco did qualify for the abatement. The total cost of the new equip - men was $267,500.00, and Armco will retain its 26 employees through the retooling process. The staff report recommended approval of the personal pro erty tax abatement because the program is new and has not had a lot of publicity and, therefore, Armco may not have been aware of the filing requirements.
