<br />City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />April 9, 2003 <br /> <br />13.4% value increase in Centerville with 116 home sales from November 1,2001 through <br />October 31,2002 and 49 new homes. <br /> <br />Ms. Weiner indicated she was aware of the issues with the church and indicated that the <br />County Assessor has been conferring with the County Attorney to get an exempt status <br />on some property that the church owns as well as considering an application for green <br />acres status. She then said that a final decision on the matter would come from the <br />County Attorney and County Assessor. <br /> <br />Mr. Wi1harber indicated that he had a concern with the estimated market value going <br />from $53,400 to $221,000 as that is a tremendous increase. He then commented that <br />there was an issue as the church used to rent a portion of the land to a farmer but the <br />church has realized that it is not getting enough money in rent to pay taxes and would like <br />to go back to the agricultural designation and the County has said it will not do it. <br /> <br />Ms. Weiner indicated that church properties are being looked at in the entire metro area <br />for intended use. She then indicated that they are waiting to hear of the outcome from the <br />church meeting to determine the intended use for the property and that will help with <br />their decision. She also explained that the difference in value is that the church was not <br />previously within the MUSA boundary and now it is and that increases the value. <br /> <br />No other residents were in attendance for the Board of Review hearing. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Broussard Vickers, seconded by Council Member Lee <br />to close the Board of Review hearing. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Mayor Sweeney closed the Board of Review hearing at 7: 17 p.m. <br /> <br />VI. PUBLIC HEARING(S) <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />VII.
