RE: 1998 BITUMINOUS OVERLAY/ASSESSMENT ADJUSTMENT
Dear Council Members:
Within the last couple of weeks, Mr. Eldon Beard stopped by City Hall to pay his assessment for
the 1998 bituminous overlay.. Mr.. Beard. was surprised te find out that he had three separate
parcels included in the assessment. Each parcel was assessed $i ,450.00. Mr. Beard indicated
that he had no knowledge that he had been assessed for more than one parcel. Mr. Beard
should have been sent individual schedules for each parcel. The staff speculates that they may
have looked quite similar to each other, with the exception of the parcel ID number, and Mr.
Beard may not have paid any attention to them. in reviewing these three parcels they are
contiguous, and in fact, two of them were included in the original assessment, and the third
parcel was added with the supplemental assessment for the Camp Cozy area. The three
parcels are shown on the attached map.
If Mr. Beard had been in attendance at the assessment headng and questioned three
assessments, he would have been given the standard answer that if he combined .ali three
parcels into one parcel number for tax purposes, he would have his assessment reduced to one
unit. The idea being that if he ever wants to subdivide the parcels in the future, he would need
to come before the City Council. The City Council then has the discretion to require payment of
additional asses,.~nents as a condition of subdividing the property. Therefore, City staff would
recommend reducing the Beard assessments from three to one, which has already been paid,
conditioned upon Mr. Beard combining all three parcels into one parcel ID number for tax
purposes. Mr. Beard has indicated to City staff that he has this combination of parcels in
process with the County, and will provide paperwork to the City once it is complete.
If you have any questions regarding this information, please call.
Sincerely,
Howard R. Green Company
