Narrative Summary
Summary
York County Council held its regular meeting on June 2, 2025, with all seven members present. The agenda was dominated by the adoption of the FY 2026 operating and capital budget, which required eleven amendment motions before final passage, including a contested vote to abolish the York County Recreation Tax District. Council also acted on six rezoning cases spanning first and third readings, approved two zoning code amendments (Transportation Corridor Preservation Overlay and data center building height), and advanced a fee-in-lieu-of-tax agreement for Project Quicksilver. A substantial consent agenda covered software renewals, fire apparatus purchases, procurement exemptions, and personnel policy updates.
