Commissioner Johnson asked about item E and what the full amount was.
Bob Loeffler, Deputy County Attorney, responded $17.5 million. He stated it is sort of an
arbitrary number, he understands there are roughly 100 units and that number was proposed to equate
roughly. There was a need for some number that may need to be adjusted.
Mr. Loeffler stated item F should be pulled as they have received the replacement letter of credit.
He spoke to item H and stated that needs discussion as well.
Commissioner Johnson stated he understood that item E was to reimburse the County on what
they had already spent. He suggested that a 63l 0 corporation was to be put together to take care of that.
Mr. Loeffler stated in order to get the reimbursement of the purchase price according to the bond
issue, it needs to be wrapped into this now. He stated this sort of follows what has been done before.
Commissioner Johnson stated this is different as it is the purchase of land, with which they don't
really know what they are going to do. He asked what ifit exceeds the $17.5 million. He suggested the
number may have been plucked out of the air.
Mr. Loeffler stated that number can be changed according to Bond Council.
Commissioner Johnson stated they are not sure what bird this may be flying on, but if Bond
Council stated it can be changed then he is comfortable with that.
On item H, Mr. Loeffler reminded the Board the lease agreement provides an option to purchase
unit 107. The purchase contract is before them today. Mr. Borne, vice President of the Owners
Association, is present and available for questions. Mr. Loeffler stated he would like the Chairman to be
authorized to sign the purchase agreement on or after the 27th, signing next Monday, with the monies to
be deposited thereafter. He stated they are trying to work within the 30 days and would like the
Chairman authorized to sign other applicable documents.
Commissioner Stone asked if they need to add to the wording for the appropriate authorizations.
Commissioner Johnson suggested they make a motion to amend the item.

successful. He spoke to a meeting last week with he, Sara Fisher and other members of the Census
program. He mentioned the update the week of the 3rd.
Commissioner Johnson asked ifthis is time sensitive and suggested it may be better to be heard
after the update.
Commissioner Stone spoke to a sentence about recruiting and training local residents. He
suggested the County doesn't mind supporting employees already in the process, but to agree to be part
of the recruitment for the training is more than what they may want to do.
Jack Ingstad, County Administrator, asked ifthis is not the resolution that all the towns and
governments are signing on.
Mr. Forinash suggested that it is similar to those being signed by all entities.
Chairman Phillips questioned our current involvement.
Commissioner Johnson asked this be pulled to January 1 st.
Chairman Phillips implied it will probably be signed as well.
Mr. Ingstad stated he thinks its important to do and suggested he has committed to the
communities that we would do so.

Commissioner Stone stated he thinks it is a resolution he will ultimately approve but he would
like to have more details beforehand.
Mr. Loeffler stated on item M, he understands this is time sensitive and asked if it could be
tabled to 2:00.

at $48,000 and change. He stated the difference petween what was budgeted and the bids is significant.
Ms. Sasse I)tated some ofthe prices went up as did the quantity. She stated she would have to
review the budget for 1999.

supplies, looking at the budget of $9Q,000 and the bid of $97,000 they are already over budget.
Ms. Sasse responded they arel:\pproving an estimate of what the office supply items will be. The
documents reflect this is not a guarantee Qf purchase dollars.

Abatements
Mark Chapin, Assessor's Office, presented a petition for abatement for Georgianna Lilly,
schedule number R027575. He explained she petitioned for abatement on a vacant lot that adjoins her
improved lot at Red Table Acres. He stated the property could be considered contiguous except for
ownership. He stated the vacant lot is under the petitioners name alone where the approved lot is in her
name and another person. He read from the Statutes, 39-1-103 (14.4) which specifies that names must
be the same. In 1997 and 1998 that was not the case, but in 1999 the names have been corrected.
Commissioner Johnson asked for clarification using Sears and Sears & Robuck as an example.
Ms. Lilly was present for the hearing stating as a former County employee, she has been married
for twenty four years. She stated she did not take her husbands name. She stated she was unaware of the
problem of not having both names on both parcels. She stated they have lived there for thirteen years.
She brought pictures of her family. She appealed to the Board stating it has been the same two people
owning the land and it was just her lack of knowing the technicalities that caused this issue.
Commissioner Johnson asked how the two parcels came to be under different names.
Ms. Lilly stated when they first moved into the house, the lot was vacant. She explained the lots
were triangular. She explained she contacted the owner of the adjoining property and asked if she could
buy it. She did all of the paperwork and it was by virtue of her taking the initiative and doing the work,
that's the way it happened. The house was more of a concern and it was more important to have both
their names on that.
Chairman Phillips asked what they can do about this or what is the Assessor's recommendation.
Mr. Chapin stated the Attorney General's opinion is that the law is pretty specific. As for the
other criteria, the vacant lot complies, the common ownership was not in compliance. He stated he is
recommending denial accordingly. He stated Ms. Lilly has a deed and changed the ownership on one of
the two parcels so in the future it is not an issue.
Commissioner Johnson stated he is sorry that there is nothing that they can do legally and related
Mr. Chapin tried to find alternatives. He spoke to the water from the tap.
Ms. Lilly stated she has spoken with other County Commissioners and it is possible while
recognizing a legal technicality, to see beyond it. She stated they have had the land for ten years and
have been overtaxed for that period of time. She stated they have brought it into legal compliance and
would like the Board to appreciate their position.
Commissioner Johnson suggested if she could show something that could show that they owned
it jointly. He stated if she has additional evidence to show joint ownership, they might be able to table
this and consider further information. He suggested perhaps a will. He asked if the property was paid
for out of a joint account? He stated that would give proof that it was a joint purchase.
Ms. Lilly questioned the fact that they have now brought it into compliance, that would give
proof of it being a lack of them not knowing.
Chairman Phillips stated she recognizes what they are saying and doesn't doubt that. She spoke
to the vehicle registration with her husband. She stated it is the law that mandates what they can or can't
do. She questioned what they would do about a spouse dying and the names not being on the property.
Renee Black, Asst. County Attomey, stated the way the State looks at it is how it is titled rather
than who might own it. She suggested that the State would not approve it because they strictly go by
what is on the title.
Mr. Chapin stated he really doesn't think there is anything in the Statute that allows for this. He
suggested out of the kindness of their hearts the Board might grant the abatement.
Commissioner Johnson asked if Ms. Lilly has any other evidence.
Ms. Lilly stated only her children.
Commissioner Johnson moved to deny the abatement for schedule number R027575, Georgianna

12-20-1999
Lilly, as recommended by the Assessor.
Chairman Phillips seconded the motion.
In discussion, Chairman Phillips stated she recognizes how unfortunate it is but it is the law and
they have to abide by it. She stated the Board is compelled to follow the law.
Chairman Phillips called for the question on the motion. Of the two voting Commissioners the
vote was declared unanimous.
Mark Chapin presented petitions of abatement for John Forier, schedule numbers R033948 and
R033947. The Assessor stated they do have some minor changes that are contrary to their original
decision. He stated the subject properties are located in Horse Mountain area north of Wolcott. He
stated originally they denied the petition but they received additional information from the petitioner.

abatement for schedule R033947 in 1997 in the amount of$1,059.12. For 1998 in the amount of
$1134.81. Schedule R033948 for 1997 an abatement for $1059.12 and in 1998 an abatement of
