Union Vale board adopts resolution settling multi‑year tax grievances from EPC Trevy LLC/Welltower
Summary
The Town Board of Union Vale on June 3 adopted Resolution No. 44 of 2026, settling tax certiorari proceedings filed by EPC Trevy LLC/Welltower Inc. for parcels at 500 Cami Road and 79 Flint Road and authorizing counsel to sign a consent judgment; several assessed‑value reductions were reported for 79 Flint Road.
The Town Board of Union Vale adopted Resolution No. 44 of 2026 on June 3 to settle three years of tax certiorari proceedings brought by EPC Trevy LLC/Welltower Inc. for multiple parcels, and authorized the town’s outside counsel to negotiate and sign a consent judgment.
Councilman Derlin read the resolution to the board, detailing the affected parcels and the proposed assessment adjustments. For 500 Cami Road the resolution as read showed the assessment remaining at $89,800 for 2023–2025. For 79 Flint Road the resolution listed multi‑year reductions: a 2023 settlement assessment of $11,400,000 (a reduction of $2,814,600), a 2024 settlement assessment of $11,360,000 (a reduction of $2,854,600) and a 2025 settlement assessment of $10,216,000 (a reduction of $3,998,600). One additional parcel was listed with no change for the three years.
The resolution named Kyle Barnett, Esquire of Vanderwater and Vanderwater LLP, as the attorney authorized to negotiate and execute documents necessary to effectuate the settlement. During the reading the board noted the settlement would include a three‑year agreement not to file additional grievances for the same assessments.
A second was recorded and the board took a roll‑call vote. Councilman Harrington, Councilman Ringer, Supervisor Frasier, Councilman McGney and Councilman Derlin responded in the affirmative and the resolution carried.
The board did not provide further written detail of the underlying consent judgment at the meeting; the official resolution (No. 44 of 2026) and any attached proposed consent judgment were referenced during the reading but were not appended to the meeting record as read aloud. The board also authorized counsel to sign any documents necessary to finalize the settlement, per the motion.
Next steps noted at the meeting: recordation or filing of any required consent judgment documents by counsel and administrative follow‑up by the assessor’s office to reflect the settled assessments for tax roll purposes.
