SUBJECT:
Chief Executive Dan Onorato’s Veto of Council Bill 3819-08, entitled,
An Ordinance of the County of Allegheny, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
amending and supplementing the Allegheny County Code of Ordinances, Division 4,
entitled "Finances," through the creation of a new Chapter 480,
entitled "Essential Services and Tax Exempt Verification
Certification," in order to provide for a tax exempt certification and
essential services fee for certain properties within the County for which an
exemption from the real property tax is claimed.
This
memorandum is to inform you that on Friday, November 6, 2009, Chief Executive
Dan Onorato returned to me, with his veto, Council Bill 3819-08 referenced
above.
Attached
is a copy of the bill and Chief Executive Onorato’s written objection to the
bill.
Article
IV, Section 5(b) of the Home Rule Charter provides that County Council may
override a Chief Executive veto by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds
of the Seated Members of Council and that the override vote must occur within
30 days of the veto, which means that Sunday, December 6, 2009, is the last day
you could consider a vote to override the veto, otherwise the veto would be
sustained.
A
hardcopy of this information will be placed in your mailbox.
