BUSINESS:
NEW: CONSIDER TWO TAX ABATEMENT PETITIONS FROM STATE FARM
MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN:
Warren Lasell, Assessor, explained said abatements concern personal property
tax on computer equipment. At issue is the method used to depreciate the
equipment. Mr. Lasell stated that his staffs assessment is in accordance with
the depreciation schedules created by the Colorado Department of Property
Taxation for sole use by assessors. Since the abatement request is really a
challenge by State Farm and Peat Marwick, representative of State Farm, to the
Department of Taxation's schedules, Mr. Lasell originally recommended denial
of said abatements and that they be sent to the Department of Taxation for
review. Bruce Barker, County Attorney, presented a memo to the Board,
recommending the proper way to get this issue to the Department of Taxation is
to approve the abatement request with the condition that the approval will depend
upon a determination by the Department of Taxation that Peat Marwick's
depredation schedules are correct and the Department's schedules are incorrect.
Russell Shaw, representing State Farm, explained that the change in method of
depreciating computer equipment is necessary due to the abrupt decline in
market value of computer equipment when new models are developed instead
of a steady decline over a number of years. Commissioner Harbert moved to
conditionally approve said abatements, as recommended by Mr. Barker, and to
authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Hall, the motion carried
unanimously.
CONSIDER PURCHASE OF SERVICE AGREEMENT BETWEEN HUMAN
SERVICES AREA AGENCY ON AGING AND ELDERGARDEN, INC., AND
AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Walt Speckman, Director of Human Services,
stated this agreement covers an additional $5,000 being awarded to support
unplanned program costs due to increased heavy care participants. He
explained Eldergarden, Inc. has implemented a staff reorganization and
increased participant fees to address the long-term impact of the service
changes. Commissioner Baxter moved to approve said agreement and authorize
the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Webster, the motion carried
unanimously.
