Yolo County assessment appeals board denies duplicate Marketplace Center filing, approves consent items

Yolo County Assessment Appeals Board members on Oct. 22, 2024, denied an assessment appeal for Marketplace Center Inc. because the applicant did not appear, approved the consent agenda (items 3–6) and approved stipulations for assessment appeals 8A–8C. All recorded votes were unanimous.

The actions came during a short public meeting in which board members also discussed an apparent rise in continuances for appeals. Sandy Gomez, assessment appeals staff, told the board the extensions “have been a mixture of both. Some of them, the agents have multiple appeals, so they further, request they would like to postpone and move that over. For some of them, it's just, information that we're still looking into, so we need additional time.” The board recorded seeing 14 extensions on the current agenda packet.

The denial involved a duplicate filing for the same parcel. Board staff said one appeal, listed as 24-094, was filed by Tanner Bridal of DePasquale Kelly & Company and another, listed as 24-190, was filed by Jared Goodrich of Ryan LLC. The board moved to deny the later, unconfirmed application for Marketplace Center Inc. because the applicant did not appear. The clerk's office told the board it had contacted the agent for appeal 24-190 after identifying the duplicate and “we never heard from them again,” according to Ms. Huyghe, a staff member.

Board members also took the routine steps of approving the meeting agenda at the start of the session and approving the consent agenda covering items 3 through 6. At Item 8 the board approved stipulations for assessment appeal applications 8A, 8B and 8C. All of those motions passed with unanimous voice votes.

The board did not take public comment at the meeting; no members of the public were present for item 2. The board adjourned after completing the listed items and indicated it would reconvene next month.
