Resident asks Gregory council to honor five-year tax rebate after ordinance mismatch
Summary
Jim Imler told the Gregory City Council that an outdated 'Tax Discretionary' formula remained in city ordinance despite the city not adopting the state formula; he said the incentive influenced the Imlers' decision to buy their home and asked the council to honor a five-year rebate. The council thanked them and agreed to discuss the matter at the next meeting.
Jim Imler addressed the Gregory City Council on Feb. 2, saying the city left an outdated 'Tax Discretionary' formula in an ordinance even though the city had not adopted the new state discretionary formula. Imler told the council that the city’s posted ordinance information — as he described it — was a factor in his family’s decision to purchase their home in Gregory and requested that the city honor the full five-year rebate they expected under the outdated posted formula.
Mayor Al Cerny and council members thanked the Imlers for presenting their timeline and asked staff to place the matter on the agenda for the next council meeting for further discussion. The minutes record only the Imlers' request and the council’s agreement to review the matter; no formal motion or vote on the rebate request was taken at the Feb. 2 meeting.
