Council passes ordinance about Rivesville B&O tax distribution

By Paul Fallon
Times West Virginian

RIVESVILLE The town council passed an ordinance which sets forth the manner in which the business and occupation tax is to be distributed.

According to the ordinance, 30 percent of the money generated by the B&O tax will go into the town’s general fund. The water department will receive 5 percent of the money from the tax.

Thirty percent of the funds will go into the town’s savings account. One third of that amount will be used to purchase vehicles and one third will be used for building-related improvements. The final one third of the money from the B&O tax placed into savings is not designated for a specific use.

The police department will receive 10 percent of the funds from the B&O tax. The garbage department will receive 10 percent, and 5 percent of the funds were designated for the Rivesville Community Building. The remaining 10 percent will be devoted to riverfront development.

The B&O tax went into affect on Oct. 1. The tax is due at the beginning of the first quarter of next year.

The council also passed an ordinance that sets forth the criteria for obtaining building permits for construction projects taking place in the town. The ordinance states that anyone building, repairing, moving or demolishing a structure inside the town’s limits must first obtain a permit. Permits are to be obtained at town hall.

The ordinance also sets exceptions to the requirement for a permit. One of the exceptions is for minor repairs that do not affect, change or alter the structural or plumbing facilities. Minor repairs are considered those that do not exceed $1,000.

A copy of the ordinance, and all of the fees associated with the obtaining the permits, is available at the town hall.

Mayor Tammy Crites announced that Rivesville Patrolman Seth Colson has been appointed as the town’s deputy police chief. He will undertake the duties of former police chief Chris Veltri. Veltri recently left to become the police chief of Monongah.

“Colson was a county police officer and a member of a drug task force in Florida,” Crites said.
