City administrator, law director outline annexation steps, Corwin Nixon valuation hearing and Joshua's Place lease clarifications
Summary
City Administrator Jerry Haddix and Law Director Chase Kirby updated council on an annexation filing, an upcoming board of revisions hearing about the Corwin Nixon property valuation, and clarifications to the Joshua's Place lease regarding tax-exempt filings and tax responsibility if status is revoked.
City Administrator Jerry Haddix told the council on June 17 that an annexation filing related to a river-corridor matter was submitted to the county commissioners and that the council will need to adopt a buffering resolution and a services resolution at its next meeting to meet county timelines.
Law Director Chase Kirby said he will represent the city at a board of revisions hearing regarding the valuation of a property identified in the record as the Corwin Nixon property; the hearing panel will include the county auditor, county treasurer and the president of the county commission, and the panel is expected to issue a written decision after the hearing.
Kirby also reported he has been in discussions with counsel for Joshua's Place (Dinsmore & Shohl) about clarifying questions on a lease the council approved at a prior meeting. Kirby said the lease assigns responsibility to the city to submit filings necessary for a property to retain its tax-exempt status with the county; if tax-exempt status is revoked, the lease states Joshua's Place would be responsible for paying taxes.
No formal action on annexation or the buffering/services resolutions was taken at the June 17 meeting; city staff said the resolutions will be prepared for council action at the next meeting to meet the county's submittal timetable.
