BUSINESS:
NEW: CONSIDER TAX ABATEMENT PETITION FROM TEXAS-OHIO POWER, INC. AND
AUTHORIZE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN: Warren Lasell, Assessor; Richard
Timberlake, Department of Taxation; and Stephanie Tutthill,
Attorney representing Texas-Ohio Power, Inc. were in attendance
to answer questions from the Board. Bruce Barker, County
Attorney, stated this petition concerns state-assessed property.
Ms. Tutthill explained the petition is in regard to a
cogeneration facility near Johnstown which was undervalued in
1992 and overvalued in 1993. The petition being considered
today is a result of the Department of Taxation's suggestion
that the total adjustment be applied to 1993 instead of
adjusting both years. Ms. Tutthill stated she would like to
present information to the Board concerning an additional
abatement of taxes for 1994. Mr. Lasell stated he would not be
able to make a recommendation on an additional request without
the proper time to study the figures presented. He said the
petition under consideration, which he is recommending for
approval, is for an abatement in assessed value of $609, 000 for
the years 1992 and 1993. Because of this being state-assessed
property, the procedure is different if the County does not
agree with the amount set. Responding to a question from Mr.
Barker, Mr. Timberlake explained the facility opened in 1992 and
incomplete returns were filed in 1992 and 1993; therefore, a
best information value was used on a cost approach basis. The
taxpayer later provided further information, which is how the
new value was derived. The value was set at $586,000 for 1992
and $598,000 for 1993, and all parties agreed. Ms. Tutthill
clarified for Commissioner Harbert that Texas-Ohio Power, Inc.
sells thermal energy from this facility to Coors and electricity
to Public Service. She presented "Computation of 1992 and 1993
Abatement" (Exhibit A) , clarifying the figures derived by the
State, and stated she now has income figures available which
justify a lower value for 1994. (Changed to Tape #94-33. ) Mr.
Timberlake stated he just found out about the additional request
yesterday and has not had a chance to review it. He feels his
values for 1992 and 1993 are correct as presented on the
petition. Mr. Lasell stated he also was unaware of the
additional request and has not seen any data relating to it.
After further discussion, Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to
continue this matter to August 24, 1994, at 9:00 a.m. to allow
time for Mr. Timberlake, as well as County staff, to review the
additional data. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hall.
Mr. Barker clarified that the taxes have been paid on the abated
portion of this request. The motion carried unanimously.
PLANNING: CONSIDER REQUEST FOR PARTIAL RELEASE OF COLLATERAL FROM SHILOH,
INC. : Greg Thompson, Department of Planning Services, presented
said request for release of collateral and recommended release
of $84,375.25 for the portion of work now completed. The County
Engineer, Drew Scheltinga, has inspected the completed portion
of the paving project and also recommended partial release of
collateral. James Scott was present to answer questions.
Commissioner Baxter moved to approve partial release of
collateral, in the amount of $84,375.25. Seconded by
Commissioner Harbert, the motion carried unanimously.
RESOLUTIONS AND
ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the
consent agenda. There were no ordinances.
