Mayor Facilitates POLICY RECOMMENDER: Finance FISCAL IMPACT: NA SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: As part of the Consent Agenda, the City Council is respectfully requested to consider approval to remove parcel 13.029.21.24.0001 from the 2016 assessment roll with Washington County. BACKGROUND INFORMATION/STAFF REPORT: Properties in the Green Acres or Rural Preservation programs are automatically allowed to defer special assessments on their properties. The owner of this property recently brought to the Cities attention the fact that this parcel is enrolled in both programs. As a result, the special assessments need to be corrected with Washington County and an abatement form is required to do so. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the fact that the assessment should have been deferred, it is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution 2016-103 so that an abatement of the assessment can be filed with Washington County.
