Assessment appeals board approves multiple continuances, denies several no‑shows and accepts stipulations
Summary
At its Dec. 9 meeting the Ventura County Assessment Appeals Board No. 2 approved many continuances to dates ranging from Feb. 3 to April 28, 2025, denied several applications for lack of appearance, accepted a withdrawal and approved submitted stipulations.
The Ventura County Assessment Appeals Board No. 2 managed a large docket of procedural items on Dec. 9, approving continuances for many appeals, denying some cases for lack of appearance and accepting stipulated withdrawals. The board recorded motions and carried votes on scheduling and evidence‑exchange deadlines for a range of appellants.
Key procedural actions taken (representative list drawn from the meeting record):
- ATEE LLC (Item 89, application 2210576): Denied for lack of appearance when the applicant did not attend in person. After the applicant checked in remotely and addressed the board later in the meeting, the board vacated the denial and continued the matter to March 17, 2025 with a 30‑day data proviso and a requirement for site access to be provided within 30 days prior to the hearing.
- Nesbitt Pacific Inc. (Item 90, application 2211003): Continued to March 17, 2025 with a 30‑day data proviso.
- Albertsons / Vons consolidated business filings (Items covering multiple application numbers): Continued to April 28, 2025 for a status hearing with a 60‑day data proviso prior to the hearing; the board noted these cases typically require a full‑day special hearing if unresolved.
- Multiple commercial and residential appeals represented by firms (Altus Group, Altus/Altus Group, Ryan LLC, Assessment Appeal Advisors, Ryan LLC, Nathaniel Bratter, etc.): The board granted continuances, most commonly to March 17, 2025, with a data proviso that any additional evidence be provided 30 days prior to the hearing (60 days prior for larger business cases), and in some cases approved remote attendance for status hearings.
- Several no‑shows were denied for lack of appearance (e.g., Shamalian Trust, item 139; others listed in the docket) when no withdrawal or substitute appearance was filed.
- Golden Hills Land LLC (Item 136) — withdrawal accepted from the record.
- The board approved submitted stipulation agreements (Item 152) as emailed to members in advance of the meeting.
Motions were typically recorded as "I so move" and "I second that" without individual mover/second names captured in the transcript; the clerk confirmed each motion carried as recorded. Data‑exchange provisos, when required, were precise about timing (30 days or 60 days prior to the next hearing date). Where stipulations were executed and filed in time the board waived in‑person attendance for that party at the next hearing.
The board opened and disposed of dozens of scheduling matters in a compact period, concentrating contested evidentiary hearings (like the Purdum and Linsalatto cases) for extended, separate consideration later in the agenda.
A formal record of each motion and the board’s action is on the clerk’s docket for Dec. 9, 2024; parties were instructed about data deadlines and remote attendance rules as applicable.
